As announced in our last issue the former so-called courses have been abolished and the group system introduced. The following is a provisional schedule for the work of the freshman and sophomore years in the school of arts. Requirements for admissions—Physical Geography, General History, Science of Government.Algebra,Geometry, Physics, Language-I. Latin three years. English one year and Greek German or French. two years; or-II Latin three years and English three years.
The Group System.
FRESHMAN-FIRST TERM.
Geometry and Algebra half term each. English, Hygiene (twenty lectures). One foreign language. In German, French or Greek, it may be the first, third or fifth term's work; in Latin the seventh or ninth term's work, six terms preparatory work being required.
FRESHMAN—SECOND TERM.
Trigonometry three fifths. Chemistry and Botany half term each. One foreign language—second, fourth or sixth term in German, French or Greek; eighth or tenth term in Latin.
SOPHOMORE-FIRST TERM.
SOPHOMORE—FIRST TERM.
Group I—German, French, Latin,
Greek, (see Freshman, first term). Group
II—Chemistry and Botany half term
each. Analytics. History.
At the end of the sophomore year the student must have done some work in at least two foreign languages. He may take any language for which he is prepared. This includes permission to be gain any language except Latin.
BOPHOMORE—SECOND TERM.
Group I—Including English(see Freshman, second term).
Group II—Elementary Pavchology and Logic, Zoology, Surveying.
In the Sophomore year all the language courses including English, constitute what is known as Group I. All other courses are included in Group II.
Freshmen offering three years of English for entrance, not being required to take first term English, may take history or a second foreign language, subject to the regulation regarding total amount of language.
The work of the Sophomore year shall consist of six themes and six full terms' work. The six terms' work shall be chosen from groups I and II, not more than four terms' work from either group.
This arrangement of studies does not give greater option as has been reported, but it gives greater uniformity. Instead of the present complex and perplexing conglomeration of courses it gives a uniform basis for one half the work for all students. This basis consists of mathematics science and English. Each student at the end of the sophomore year must have taken at least two term's work in each of two languages. The minimum amount of language that a student can take is the same as the minimum in the present general language course; the maximum the same as the amount in the present classical course. No student hereafter can graduate if he has studied only one foreign language. In this connection it should be mentioned that the National Association of Collegiate Alumnus excludes graduates of all colleges which give the bachelor's degree to students who have studied only one foreign language.
These new regulations regarding studies will not go into effect until the beginning of next school year.
Prof. Adolphe Cohn will lecture at the opera house tonight on the "Career of Leon Gambetta." This is the third of the lecture course stractions.
'THE REGENT'S REPORT.
The Usual Biennial Report Furnishes Important Information.
The regular biennial report of the board of regents and chancellor has been published. The work of the past two years is reviewed, and the urgent need of further appropriations for the erection of several new buildings and other no less important improvements is touched upon.
The report shows a splendid record for the past two years in matters of instruction and attendance, thus emphasizing the need for further accommodations in the shape of new but' dings.
The most imperative need is a fireproof library building for the present library and such additions as may be made to it. The present quarters are small and poorly arranged, and more than all, not fire proof. It has been suggested that the Spooner bequest be used for the purpose of erecting a library building. This amounts to $80,000 and was secured for the University by Chancellor Snow's connection with it, from an uncle of his. This would be a very appropriate way of using the gift. Then there is needed a building for physics and electrical engineering. A suitable building properly arranged and fitted up it is estimated can be built for $75,000. A chemistry building to cost $15,000 is on the list, also an addition to Snow Hall for Dyche's animals, and last, a woman's dormitory.
There has been no appropriation for buildings since since Snow Hall was erected eight years ago. Since then the attendance at the University has increased one half, and the entire preparatory department has been abolished. Eight years ago more than half in attendance were enrolled in the preparatory department of the school. The faculty has been doubled in that time and like growth has been made in all directions. In the time mentioned Minnesota has spent $350,000 for university buildings. University of Nebraska $125,000 and the University of Missouri more than that, but this latter was due to the disastrous fire that occurred at Columbia.
There is absolute need for more money for current expenses. The present amount under the Moody bill is the fixed sum of $75,000. Out of this everything of the University must be paid, the instructor's salaries and all money spent must come from this source. This leaves no chance for further expansion, for the money, economically expended, as it now is all used to the last dollar. No state institution in the west with which Kansas University is supposed to rank has as little money for current expenses. The annual income of Nebraska University is $108, -000, and Iowa, Missouri and others all have more than that.
The ex-University students liying in Kansas City have organized with the following officers: President, John Sullivan; yue-presidents, Webster Davis, A. S Oln and I. C. McNeil; secretary, Frank A. Marshall; assistant secretary, Alfred Fidler; general committee, W. H. McCamish, A. L. Glenn, J. D. Wendorff, Mrs W. A. Mellon, F. E. Reed, Miss Hattie Cook, S. T. Gillmore, Ralph Stout, J. G. Smith, Dr. S. B. Anderson, Ed. Brown, Mrs. Carlo Cockins Tenney, Miss Anna Bell, E. E Keva, S. W. Moore Mrs. Cyrus Crane, Dr. L. W. Lusher, Miss Lida Gano and Mrs. Fred. Gay; executive committee John Sullivan,Frank A. Marshall, W. A. White and Misses Ethel Beecher Allen and Kate Ridenour.

WHERE university extension is, thence will come students.
VACATION is now past. Has it paid? Are vacations usually profitable? .
A UNIVERSITY is a mental gymnasium. A physical gymnasium, however, should go with it.
AGASSIZ was a master teacher because he was something more than a repository of data.
If all other vacations were omitted, the summer vacation could be lengthened four weeks.
FIFTY years hence students will have ceased to burn midnight oil—they will use incandescent lamps.
INATTENTIVE, unappreciative students make failures of men whom nature intended for the best of instructors.
WHEN a student concludes he has a corner on truth, he should quit school. He has reached a point where no mortal can help him.
ONE of the last things that a student learns is that his own enlightened mind is the highest authority to which he can appeal. If he does not try all cases by that authority he fails to perform his duty.
THOUGH "midnight oil" costs no more than kerosene, it is far superior to it. A small amount of it often gives a light which illuminates a wide area for centuries.
ABOUT this time of the year new students occasionally become discouraged. They should not. All earnest students can succeed. The faculty should deal kindly with a student who fails to attain to success, provided he has made an honest effort.
THE Yale faculty has prohibited the editors of all the college periodicals from publishing advertisements of saloon keepers and liquor dealers. Wonder when the K. U. faculty will prohibit the editors of her college periodicals from advertising fraternities?
It not unfrequently happens that the newspapers of New York publish important events of Berlin twenty-four hours sooner than the Berlin papers do. This is due to the fact that the Germans sitting in their closets cannot evolve news, as they do psychology, from their inner consciousness.
The recent action of the faculty, giving sophomores some power to choose their studies, is a commendable step for various reasons. One of the strongest reasons, however, is that it will arouse a greater competition among among instructors. Competition insures progress in the faculty no less than out of it.
By anticipating a vacation and by being unable immediately after school begins to settle down to regular and systematic work again, students usually lose twice as much time from their studies as is allotted to the vacation itself. Then is it wise, from an economical standpoint, to divide the months of study into several short periods?
PROFESSOR COHN is a French Jew He was an intimate friend and confidential adviser of Gambetta. He was intimate with Gambetta's associates in founding the French Republic. His experience eminently qualifies him to lecture on his subject instructively. He saw the real scenes and noted the circumstances of those stirring times. He can describe them as none other, without the help of such a man, can.
As the end of the term draws near, all students, and instructors too, have reason for rejoicing. The uselessly tedious examinations, formerly coming as periodic afflictions upon the instructed and instructors alike, have been abolished. Henceforward, students will have more time for studying, a very small portion being used only to inform their instructors what they know, or do not know, as the particular case may be.
"Snow the pupil that history is an argument, with God and nature for premises and men and women among the conclusions; show him that it is a drama which involves his own life, and he will not be likely to evince a lack of interest."—Professor Charles Levermore. A good sentiment applicable to any line of study. Unskillful or lifeless instructors not frequently make students, who are earnest and able, appear inapt and ineffective.
ANTI-FRATERNITY talk from a fraternity man: Secretary Goodspeed, of the Chicago University, said in an interview with a Chicago Times reporter: "The sole object of the faculty in opposing fraternities is to secure the best results for the student body. The establishment of the Greek letter societies in the University means an opposition to the ordinary literary societies such as they could not stand and be prosperous." Secretary Goodspeed, himself being a fraternity man, ought to be qualified to speak of the pernicious influence of fraternities.
EVER since the first issue of the STUDENTS JOURNAL, it has been amusing to see how the Courier, so far as it has been able, has aped the JOURNAL. Nor do we object to be taken as a model, if, after our contemporaries have taken us for their model, they will work independently. But when this aping is carried so far that they take from the Journal whole paragraphs word for word to the extent of half a column, and give no credit for it, as the Courier did on December 16, we emphatically object. If we are to furnish matter for both papers, we want the credit for it.
NORTH COLLEGE, how does the following suit your legal ears?
No. I.
Rah! rah! rah!
K. U. law;
Law! law ! ! la-aw ! ! !
No. II.
Law on the Kaw;
K. S. U. law;
Hurra! hurrah ! !
No. III.
Kaw, Law, Raw.
No I would be noisy enough, that is one thing to be considered. No. II, while not as noisy, is smoother and ends so as to be more suggestive of triumph No. III is recommended by its brevity. It should be drawn out repeatedly to do, sol, mi; or be used as a round. The Kaw might well be used as a distinctive feature: of course there should be some law in everything said or done by North College students; and whatever or however it is it will certainly be raw. No III would be something unique and would doubtless make everyone hearing it wish there were more law. At first thought it might seem that No. III would not make noise enough; it is true, it would not be very noisy; but uttered in chorus it would be effective. A number of voices shouting in unison will drown out a much larger number not in unison. Give No. III a day's trial.
Those who spoke good words for the University when home did the right thing. If her students do not stand up for the University, who will? A good word given vocally is worth a dozen printed recomendations.
LITERARY DEPARTMENT
can contend with the night,
To one who comprehends, the shadows of the night.
The soul's white wings may falter in an up ward flight.
DOUBT.
Nor is the daylight inconceivable
And shake the cloth and prejudice of years aside.
Into far lands through regions vast and wide.
To doubt it, to stand on.
And look both fear and prejudice in the eyes;
To brand all thetheologic superstitions
For what they are, for ignorant human lies.
The shackles, tettered on our limbs by man;
To learn that an Almighty God
Is not revealed by dogma, creed or plan.
Fledged from the
No holier tail has ever been revealed.
Than that deep, mystic, throbbing bear
That lies in every human breast concealed.
She is the pallid mother of the young child Thought,
Who shall push onward as he grows
Into the sea.
Emporia, Kaneas.
Into the full, clear light she knoweth not,

Prof. Carruth has begun another work of investigation. He has undertaken to work up the origin and meaning of Kansas geographical names. He has sent circular letters to editors and teachers throughout the state, asking for their co-operation in this work. It is a work in which teachers could interest and engage their pupils with the result of making their historical and language study more vital to them. He wants the origin and meaning of the name of every county, town, township, stream, lake, mound, or any other named locality in the state. Credit will be given in the final publication of results for all important contributions.

Some valuable books have recently been secured for the philosophy alcove. Among them are, Lange's History of Materialism, in three volumes, edited by E C. Thomas. The Dialogues of Pato, in five volumes, edited by Jowett. It is the third and latest edition and the best yet published. The World as Will and Idea, in three volumes, translated from the German of Shcopenhauer. The library has heretofore be destitute of Schopenhauer's works and they will now be prized accordingly.
A valuable acquisition for the zoology alcove is a complete set, twenty-seven volumes, of the Zoological Record. It is a bibliography of works on zoology, with lists of species. A handsome addition to the English alcove is the latest edition of Browning in nineteen volumes, published by Smith, Elder & Co., London. *.*
The December number of our monthly contemporary contains a long-drawn editorial wall over the loss of power and office in University organizations by a certain class of students, and their usurpation by members of the faculty. We believe the editor of the aforesaid monthly has somewhat exaggerated the extent of the usurpation, this "paternalism," and the dissatisfactioniness of its results. In stating that the Athletic Association is now controlled by members of the faculty, said editor should remember that if the faculty had not taken hold of the matter, two or three years ago, and devoted valuable time and energy to it there would in all probability be no Athletic Association in the University of Kansas today. The Lecture Bureau never was a students' organization. The censorship of some university journal, obscurely referred to, we assume the said editor to know more about than we do. As for the Annual it should be stated that its publication is conducted by the Senior class. That any one should accuse the faculty of desiring to control the Annual when they were merely asked by the Annual board to contribute to the funds for its publication, is an act of the basest ingratitude. The old-time enthusiasm spoken of, consisting as it did or one faction's glee in securing offices by fair means or foul, can well be dispensed with. The election of faculty member to offices in University organizations pre
vents this unseemly wire-pulling and scrambling for office, and renders in some degree, at least, possible the pursuit of the real objects for which those organizations were founded.

INDIAN NAMES.
Accustomed as we are to names no longer having for us any meaning in themselves, we are rather inclined to smile when we examine the systems of naming prevalent among savage peoples, as the American Indians for instance, which do not confer on the individual names chosen arbitrarily, but names having some special application. A short inspection of Indian agency lists accordingly may furnish some instruction and amusement. Indian names are usually given from some real or fancied peculiarity, some resemblance, some action which the bearer has performed. Yet there are many which defy conjecture as to their origin although all have a meaning.
The Indian generally has an abundance of names First, the original, often long and difficult to pronounce. Then the translation, generally ridiculous and worse than the former. And lastly the nickname to which this leads by and which the Indian is generally known. For instance, O-pa-wo-ju, translated means Farms-up-the-River; nick named, he becomes Bill or Stumpy. Wam-ki-ho-wa-ste is Eagle Pretty Voice or Nellie. Ho-pu-za is Lousy; and this being sufficiently appropriate, he is honored with no further name. A.yu-xi-pi presumably at one time a foot ball player. His name means Drops-on-it. Another name, Pa-ji-to, means The Hills.
From peculiarities or resemblances we have Fall Prairie Chicken, Round Egg, Afraid-of-Lightning, Lean Silk Worm, Rat-that-Walks, Dog-with-Horns, Yellow Hair Face, and an endless list of animals, such as Red Eagle and Leaping Antelope. Sit-sdown-like-a-Woman, Brings-Grub, Sniffles, Tramped-in-Blood, Walking Blanket, Smells-the-Log, and Touches-the-Cloud, receive their names from some of their actions. Shoots-off, Owns the-Bobtalled-Horse, Swift Whirlwind, Sitting-down-Talking, Gets-off . and Owns-the-Bear, ara readily understood. But White Cow Eagle, Worn-out-Horn, Poor-Thunder, Two-Tails and His Holy Horse are as yet unaccounted for in my mind.
Many names are not suitable for translation and appear on the roll books in the original. Others are repeated so that we have Bull Man up to No.4. These names are not permanent, for an Indian is likely to have a new name each time he comes for rations. Consequently each one is furnished with a tag marked with his number, a name, and the number of persons in his family he represents in drawing rations. Ghost-in-the-Lodge, being the only one not killed at the Wounded Knee Massacre, became Hard-to-Kill, and is now so known on the roll books.
Relationship is not indicated by the name and is difficult to trace as every uncle is called father, and almost everyone else, cousin or aunt.
The whites are also usually named by the Indians from some peculiarity; thus, Mr. Morton a tall slender man is called Gnu-go-nu-ske, that is, grasshopper, or more literally still. Scratches his Belleas-as-he-walks. JOHN FRAZIER.

COMMUNICATIONS.
UNIVERSITY EXPANSION.
There is manifestly something imperfect in the theory, or at least in the practice, of college education. There is in it a defect which nearly everyone recognizes, but which few college men show a disposition or inclination to remedy. The defect is this: The typical college man of today is a being above the plane of human sympathy; that is to say, he is imbued with the idea that he has passed the stage of intellectual progress when he needs to rise on ti-toe to see his way even a little distance ahead, and that he has so far advanced that he may stand on the shoulders of ordinary men, and view the world—master of the entire range of human possibilities. Instead of trying to extend the vision of his fellow beings by working in sympathy with them, the college man, whether intentionally or not, makes more apparent the difference between him and them by lifting himself up and attempting to push them back.
Every graduate certainly has noticed, just after his graduation at least, that there is in point of feeling a vast difference between himself and the people with whom he formerly associated; and his first step is to impress his associates with this fact.
For the origin of this evil we have to look to the University. Whether the evil is caused by a flaw in the curriculum, or by the fact that the student is practically deprived of sharp contact with the people, and the latter is most probably the true cause, there is urgent demand for action. Will the aim of the University be to grind out intellectual aristocrats or to equip men intellectually? The answer must be immediate and to the point.
To plead the excuse that this defect is one of the necessary evils of university education, is idle talk. Necessary evils are the results of inaction; their defense is the refuge of the indifferent. This evil, this chasm between the people and the universities, is necessary only so long as it will take to unite the two interests. Means for accomplishing this end should be sought and judiciously applied.
A plan suggested recently by a prominent student is to the effect that upper classmen be sent out by the faculty, to speak before clubs and societies in small towns, or in country places; and by this means become acquainted with the ways of the people, besides gaining the additional advantage of having a little conceit taken out of them. This, though as yet but a suggestion, has in it a remedy for some of the evils of our system of education. X.
A Funny Bill.
One of those peculiar bills which occasionally find its way into congress has been introduced by Mr. Mitchell in the senate. Its elaborate title provides for the prohibition of electro magnetism, mesmerizing and hypnotising human beings, etc., and prescribing punishment. Numerous petitions and documents accompany the bill, and others equally voluminous are referred.
The bill in brief provides that any person who, anywhere within the jurisdiction of the United States, shall apply current of electricity upon a person for the purpose of affecting another, or which does so affect, shall be guilty of a crime punishable by death, and that any person having knowledge of such current having been applied, who fails to notify the proper authorities, shall be deemed to be an accessory and shall be punished by a fine of not less than $5,000 nor more than $20,000, or by imprisonment ranging from two years to the period of one's natural life.

A SUCCESSFUL TOUR.
The Glee and Banjo Club Sing Before Many Audiences.
The following New Year's letter from the manager of the University Glee and Banjo Club brings pleasing news of a successful tour: The concert before the State Teachers association at Topeka was worth many dollars to the University in the way of advertising and it is evident that the tour is profitable to the club and to the University.
TOPEKA, KAN., Jan. 1, 1893
Editor Students Journal:
Many of your readers will doubtless be pleased to learn that the second annual tour of the University Glee and Banjo Club is proving a great success, not only musically, but also socially and financially. Three weeks have now been spent in giving concerts in all the principal cities of central and western Kansas and in Colorado, including Topeka, Wichita, Pueblo, and Colorado Springs, and a Christmas dinner in Denver. The coming week closes the longest tour ever made by any glee and banjo club and the indications point to a continuation of the club's success until the end of the tour. The following cities will be visited the coming week: Holton, Hawiatha, St. Joseph, Atchison and Leavenworth, with the closing concert at the Soldiers' Home on Saturday evening. The boys will arrive home on the Santa Fe Sunday.
The tour from the beginning has been a success. Each of the eighteen cities already visited has furnished enthusiastic audiences and each has vied with the other in its open hearted, cordial hospitality. Not only have "Rock-chalk, Jay-Hawk. K! U!!" and the crimson been made known to thousands of people who had never heard of them before, but the receptions after the concerts gave opportunity for the formation of acquaintanceship and friendships that will insure the University many loyal supporters all over the state. The name of our beloved alma mater was made prominent on all the advertising from the large posters in crimson, to the beautiful souvenir programs.
The University can well take pride in its Glee and Banjo Club this year, for the press notices of the concerts have been highly complimentary without a single exception. Not an adverse criticism has been passed, and the press has invariably spoken of the splendid appearance of the young men of the club and of their uniformly gentlemanly conduct. Indeed the boys have all done their work faithfully and especial credit is due Professors Penny, Dome and Saunders, and also to Mr. Ed Young for the success of the tour. Another week could easily and profitably be added to the tour, but the boys feel that enough enjoyment and work has been had for one year.

Henri Nickel.
Those of our readers who remember Henri Nicke who died recently in Allegheny City will be interested in this short account of his life.
Henri Nickel was born in Elbing, Germany, Oct. 29, 1862. He came to America and to Newton, Kan., in 1882. In the winter of 1885 he entered the State University and was graduated in 1887 but continued his work in the University and received his master's degree in 1888. He went to school a stranger, but very soon won himself many friends. He was an uncommonly modest and gentle man; diffticient yet firm, he was a general favorite.
He left Newton three years ago, going to Allegheny City, and soon found employment; accepting a beginner's place he rapidly rose to the position of head book keeper for the manufacturing establishment of John White, which he held up to his death.
The Messiah.
The society of Turners to which he belonged at Pittsburg, was very attentive to him during his illness and did all they could. His best hours were relieved of much of their sorrow by the presence of his mother, who hurried to his side as soon as his condition was learned. All that humanity could was done but of no avail, he passed away at 1 o'clock Monday Nov. 21, and was buried at Newton, Kan., Monday afternoon, Nov. 28.
The second annual performance of "The Messiah" by the School of Music was given at Music Hall the 15th of December. It was under the direction of Prof. Penny and was a highly artistic rendition of this famous oratorio.
Prof. Haworth and Prof. Hovey, of the Miasouri geological survey, are having photographs prepared of sections of rock. These are to be shown with the Missouri exhibit at the World's Fair.
The chorus numbered seventy, and all the solos were executed by pupils of the school, or local vocalists, it not being necessary to send out of of town for soloists which is itself indicative of the high order of our local musical talent.
A large organ is needed in the next presentation and if possible the number in the chorus should be increased.
Prof. Wilcox's class in the history of art has disposed of the subject of sculpture and taken up that of painting.

The December Literary Argo Reporter is a first-class little magazine and a credit to the management.
The Baker papers continue to hash up the Pennant foot ball game with K. S. U The December Index came out in an orange dress.
Poor Co-ed! It has become the fashion for the college poet to address his lines to thee. It certainly must be unpleasant to be so much flattered.
The Christmas number of the Omaha University Monthly Star came to our exchange table this week. It is a bright spice paper and displays true college spirit
There is a rumor abroad that Prof. Wilkinson of the state normal is going to leave that institution. It would be an almost irreparable loss to he normal and the state.—Life.
What a relief it will be to the exchange editors, when the eologies on Whittier and Tennyson and the Columbian day literature have been alred.—Owl. You know it.
The Academy Review Vov. 1 No. 1 from Hiawatha, Kansas, put in its appearance in December. The Review is a neat eight page paper and enters the field under the management of the senior class.
The educational system maintained by the state of Illinois costs about $12,000,000 annually. A little more than $1,000,000 of this is derived from other sources than taxation, so that the tax is about 1.5 per cent on the assessed valuation of the property of the state.—Clipper.
The holiday number of the Drake Delphic contains over a hundred splendid half-tone cuts of its buildings, grounds, faculty, and students holding college offices. The edition is a credit to the management, and had it been printed on a better quality of paper would be very handsome indeed.
The students of Lombard University are hunting up the banner presented by them to Abraham Lincoln in the campaign of 1858. The banner is supposed to be in Kansas—Omaha Star. Kansas is great at gathering historic relies but it is hard to get them away from her when they are once in her clutches.

This is so applicable to K. U. fresh men that it seems a pity to crect it Truth being the motto, however, we admit it to be one of the discoveries of the exchange editor.
An exchange says: "Among the great men of the world blue eyes have predominated. Socrates, Shakespeare, Locke, Bacon, Milton, Goethe, Franklin, and Napoleon, all the presidents of the United States, except General Harrison, have enjoyed the same cerulean color as to their optics." If this be true there is still some hope for Kelley
As we examine the pages of college journals,we wonder how many exchange editors have secretly adopted this couplet as their motto:
*No brain is racked for thoughts collected here,
Where scissors and paste hold their sharp career. — College Gem
career.
We wonder too.—Argo Reporter.
We wonder also.
We wonder also.
A criticism on its method of paragraphing brings out the following bit of good sense from the Cento: "There was a time when the man who could sit down and write a long winded article was a great editor. That day has passed and the best periodicals of the day are those with short crisp paragraphs that say what there is to say and then stop." Paragraphs are what busy people want.
Our exchanges contain the information that Amherst and Denver universities are trying a new system of government. Instead of the faculty exercising full control, a College senate, comprised of members of the college classes and the faculty, acts upon all questions of impropriety, poor scholarships and whatever business the faculty may submit to it.--McKendree Repository. What is the reason this matter should not be at least discussed at K. S. U.?
The December number of the Nebraskan contains a discussion of the College Annual question by Chancellor Canfield and the editor of that paper. The chancellor edits a column of the paper every month, and in this issue claims that college annuals are not only a failure financially, but that the burden of their support falls upon men who are already spending every cent they should, and who ought not to be called upon to spend more. From a literary point of view Mr. Canfield considers the Annual both a dangerous experiment and an unfair imposition of class spirit upon the studies of the few who are obliged to edit and publish the book. While "it is a good all-round advertisement," the Chancellor considers the Annual an expensive one from whatever side considered. The editor of the Nebraskan with true loyalty to his class and much college spirit, but without any "smartness" does his best to answer the Chancellor's arguments. The facts however are against him and the Chancellor is right. An annual cost the publishers more than it is worth.
Crowded out in Last Issue.
The Seminary Notes for December was issued Wednesday of this week, and its contents include interesting articles by Prof. E. D. Adams, Rev. Charles M. Sheldon of Topeka and Wm. J. Krehbiel and a very readable editorial page.
Mrs. Prof. Robinson entertained a number of University girls Saturday afternoon. Miss Galloo read an interesting paper on French Education. It is being whispered about that she indirectly intimated that K. U. girls were slightly, ever so slightly gay.
Mrs. Fred Bowersock, Wm. J. Krehbiel, W. E Higgins, John and Russ Whitman, D. E. Babbitt were some of the University students who took part in "A Celebrated Case" at the opera house December 16 and 17. Miss Georgia Brown managed and aside from those already mentioned Abe Levy, Miss Belle Sinclair and Miss Annie Monroe took leading parts.
University Hall was crowded last Monday night to listen to the annual Christmas concert by the School of Music. The concert was one of the best ever given under the auspices of the School of Music.
The most pleasing numbers were those by Misses Titworth, Hinman, Begr, Shepard, Mr. Preyer, and Geza von Dome.

Moot Senate.
A number of students eligible to mem bership in the moot senate of Kansas State University met in the Seminary room Tuesday night and reorganized that body. Officers were elected, seats and states chosen, and bills were introduced, so that by the next meeting the senators will have commenced the labors of the session. The election was carried on regardless of party lines and resulted in the unanimous choice of Prof. E. D. Adams as president. S. J. Hunter was elected president pro tem; W. M.

Regents' Meeting
At the meetings of the regents on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of last week, some changes were made in the organization of the faculty. Prof. Robincon was made dean of the faculty of the school of arts; and Prof. Marvin, of the school of engineering. A University council was organized to consist of the Chancellor, the deans of the five schools, one additional member from each of the schools of law, pharmacy, music and art, and engineering, and five from the faculty of the school of arts. This council shall have exclusive charge of matters of discipline in the University, and of all matters pertaining to the University as a whole. The duties of the deans shall be to preside at the meetings of the faculties of their schools in the absence of the chancellor, and to look after the general interests of their schools.
Olin Templem, associate professor of philosophy was made full professor, and his duties as registrar were increased. He shall receive and keep record of all grades and report them at the end of the term to students or their guardians if desired. He shall see that all regulations of the faculties concerning instruction work be carried out, shall consult with students regarding their work and shall superintend the issuing of all catalogues. This will relieve the chancellor of a great deal of routine work and allow him more time for the general business of the University.
It was decided to ask the legislature for an increase in the appropriation for current expenses, and to recommend to that body that the Spooner bequest be used for the creation of a library building.
It was also decided that no club of students such as the glee, foot ball or base ball club could make claim of being representative of the University without first getting permission of the council to do so.

This week's increase in the edition of the STUDENTS JOURNAL gives this paper the largest circulation that any publication printed at the University has ever had.
Five years ago the buildings of the University were large enough for the classes. Today they are too small. The University must have more buildings, or fewer students. Which shall it be?
In the last eight years our University has spent for buildings less than ten percent of the amount spent by the University of Minnesota. Yet we Kansans faince ourselves loyal to our state and to her institutions. Are we? Yes or No?
Some tax payers may be so constituted that to them it is no source of pleasure to know that the University has grown solarge as to require more buildings. Yet the tax payers have the comfort of knowing that the money invested in the buildings is invested for the good of all Kansas. Supporting a first class University is not an act of charity, but an act of business. It pays. Men, rather than cattle, make a state rich.
THIRTY-FOUR million bushels is the amount the Kansas wheat crop excels that of any other single state. With such a yield Kansas is certainly able to appropriate $100,000, instead of $75,000, for the yearly expenses of the University. And more especially should the state appropriate that amount, since the experiments, carried on at the University, with diseases of the chinch bug, have done very much toward making the wheat crop of Kansas larger than that of any other state.
--time. $20,000 will, it is believed, pay for an addition large enough for present needs. The youth of Kansas has ability, it needs only an opportunity.
THE basement of the Chemistry Building is dark, cold and damp. Working down there below the earth, the students resemble convicts passing to and fro in a coal mine, shadowy, chilled. When the floors above are washed, as they very frequently must be, or when water escapes from the heaters up there, it comes dropping and trickling down onto the students and drugs. It is neither pleasant nor profitable. If the students are not spoiled, they at best gain nothing by it; and the drugs are moulding and being ruined. Yet, as long as that cold, damp basement must be used as it is at present, these things must be borne, though it will be poor economy.
NEW STUDENT: Why did that paper which uses the great large type publish a list of the men entering the oratorical contest? Or rather, why didn't they publish such a list? They printed the names of many men who had no idea of entering the contest, and omitted to print the names of several who did enter it. What did they do that way for?
Old Student: Well, you see those whose names were omitted, when they should have been printed, belong to the fraternities which are friendly to the paper; those whose names were wrongly printed in the list either belong to other fraternities or are Independents. When it is said one has entered a contest and afterwards he isn't among those winning, it is supposed he entered the contest and failed.
N. S.: Then a wrong list was purposely printed?
O. S.: One can never say that. It is only an example of an often recurring incident.
N. S.: Oh!
MORE ROOM A NECESSITY.
"The State University has grown to such proportions that its annual appropriation is not sufficient for its proper conduct and new buildings and increased facilities are an important necessity. While we believe in rigid economy in the expenditure of public money we do not think it the part of wisdom to cramp our educational institutions or impair their usefulness by lack of sufficient means to conduct them on a broad and liberal basis."—Wpandotte Herald.
"This is all true, and we rise to endorse it heartily. In addition we think it looks rather ridiculous for the state to appropriate more money for the maintenance of the penitentiary than it does for the State University. Certainly such facts do not look very encouraging to the young people and the educational interests of the state. It is an established fact that education decreases crime then why not use more effort and money in our educational institutions? The bulk of the inhabitants of our penitentiaries, jails, etc, are an uneducated class; they belong to the class which for the lack of education, are thrown into the worthless class of associates, the illiterate and immoral class, and through their idleness, their surroundings, and their associations, they finally drift into the same channel of crime and lawlessness. We are forcing them into the very jaws of sin and crime, because we, through insufficient support, place restrictions upon our educational institutions, and we find our own young men and women unable to choose their desired avocations, either on account of their poverty or the limited accommodations of our institutions of learning. Our educational institutions of Kansas should be of the nineteenth century kind, and of sufficient capacity so they could say to all Kansas boys and girls. "All who will, may come." We hear no complaints of corruption and deals in regard to our State University, because the money appropriated and received by that institution is barely enough to keep its body and soul to gether,"—Seneca Courier Democrat.
Sound sentiments. But the editors who wrote the above articles do not know all. If they visited one of the chemistry classes, they would write such paragraphs oftener. The class referred to has 121 members, while the room properly accommodates only 72. The students perch upon window-sills, upon the lecture table, upon any thing, in fact, that projects. The picture thus formed is as unique as any our grandfathers describe for us, of the days they spent in log school houses. And in the laboratory, which can properly accommodate not more than 50, 103 are cramped together. One can scarcely turn without treading upon somebody's toes, or with the elbow prodding somebody's dinner. There ensues a loss of time and a loss of work, both in quality and quantity. Something is always getting tipped over, and it cannot be helped. But the students are here. They cannot be sent home. The best thing to be done is crowd them together. After one has been stepped on, elbowed, scaled perhaps, and had his chemicls overturned a few times he begins to want more room. Likely he will begin to think it is the fault of the study; he becomes discouraged. It is believed that, if Job had attempted to work in the laboratory, he would have
The pharmacy students should have work different from that done by the other students; they are studying for different ends. Yet on account of a lack of room, they all are crowded together and necessarily must do the same work. By not having the proper means, they can not attain to the proper ends.
Students doing work in organic chemistry must work wherever they can. Before work they must take a hunt for a place. There is no room for apparatus, no room for chemicals. Room is the one crying need. Room, room.

PROF. L. L. DYCHE writes W. H. Smith, secretary of the Kansas board of world's fair, that Chicago people offer to erect a building as large as the Kansas building, and costing $30,000, for the accommodation of his natural history exhibit, pay all the expenses of making the exhibition and give Professor Dyche one-half of the gross receipts. If he will secure the consent of the Kansas board of managers and the regents of the University to remove his museum from the Kansas building.-Topeka Democrat.
If the people on the ground] believe that one half of the receipts would pay the expenses of the exhibit and erect a building costing $30,000, they must believe that the receipts would amount to at least $70,000. If they who are on the ground believe they can make $70,000, and enough more out of it to be a good speculation, it would seem about time that Kansas grumblers ceased trying to run so good a thing from the Kansas building. If the exhibit is worth $70,000 and a prospect for more to private individuals, it is worth that much to
In their last biennial report to the Governor of Kansas, the Regents of the University affirmed that; 'Probably nothing has contributed more to the unretarded growth of the University than the rigid insistence, by those who have from year to year been its legal guardians, that no bigotry or narrow partisanship should be permitted to impair or impede the practical working of the institution along the most practical and non-debatable lines.
It seems never to have been forgotten through all the history of the institution that the sole purpose of its existence is to help the people of the state get at the truth, and that the only way to get at the truth is to let every side be heard and every theory be examined. As the mul multiplication table is the same for those of all races and all creeds, so, through the whole realm of fact, there can be but one truth for all. As in the simplest matters of surmise and opinion there is need for charity, and concession, and toleration by all, for all, so, in the highest realms of speculative thought, in the most complex lines of intellectual exploration, the same patient, mutual, charitable tolerance, qualified only by good conscience and undoubted intelligence, has been recognised as necessary."
Their uttering such sentiments proves to everyone who has spent any considerable time in real study, that the regents have been students deserving the name student. Truth is so wonderful that to be recognized, she needs but to be seen. She wants no protection If encouraged to, she will become the fair protectoress of all mankind; and all the encouragement she requires is freedom. And that she must have.
The regents' report continues: "Outside the management of the University, there has now and then appeared, in one form or another, somewhat of the proscriptive spirit, the rask intolerance which comes of selfish prejudice and partisan bigotry. But it is a noteworthy and gratifying fact, to which all close observers will gladly testify, that those who have been guilty of attempting to inject this narrowness into the affairs of the University have, as often as they appeared, gone down in due time to a helpless and unrespected obscurity."
That such men should even for a short time rise before the public is to be regretted. That they soon passed into obscurity, whence they came, is cause for every friend of education to rejoice. When such men rule, reason has lost its power, and education has become mere mummery. If such men ruled, every one would ride his little hobby horse, though fancy himself a bold knight; would fight interminal battles with straw men, or, perhaps, with riders of other hobby horses. Likely the sun would be commanded to stand sun. Likely it would not do it, but would continue to shed its congenial bones on the just and the unjust on the wise and the foclish. As it is with the sun may it ever be with the University.

The latest accession to the French alcove of the library is the octavo twenty four volume edition of the works of Honore de Balzac, 1799-1858, father of the realistic novel in France.
There are some instructors who have a harsh manner of presenting the truth, or what they consider to be the truth. They gloit over the thought that they are removing the scales of blindness and prejudice from the student's eyes, and make him feel like a criminal. They thus arouse a spirit of resentment in the student and cause him to neglect studies which he might otherwise pursue with profit.

A London cablegram of Dec. 13, says that the poet William Watson has recently become violently insane. Watson was recently granted the royal bounty of two hundred pounds sterling for writing the best ode on Tennyson, and because of his transcendent success in this production, has been proposed for poet laureate. It is said that his insanity is caused by the flatterty received for his ode on the dead poet. —Argo Reporter,

SALT IN KANAS. ITS POSITION AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURE.
(From the forthcoming biennial report of the State Board of Agriculture.)
The chemistry department has been working on Kansas salt for the past six or eight months. All the localities in the state where salt is made have been visited, and samples of brines and manufactured salts have been obtained. In all, about fifty complete analyses have been made.
The salt region of Kansas is quite extensive. There are outcrops of salt in marshes in the north in Republic and Cloud counties, and again in the south in Cowley county occur salt-springs, in Meade county there is a salt lake, and numerous salt marshes are found near the southern line of the state in the vicinity of the Cimarron river.
It was formerly thought that the salt-marshes might be utilized for the production of commercial salt, but recently the discovery of solid beds of rock salt at a depth of from 700 to 1,000 feet has put earlier plots out of mind. The salt is obtained first by mining. Shafts seven by sixteen feet are sunk through the different layers and the native salt is hoisted to the surface. It is usually
quite pure; some of it exceptionally so. Several selected samples contained over 99.75 per cent of pure salt. An average sample of rock salt had the following composition:
Sodium chloride (salt) ... 97.23
Insoluble residue ... .08
Sulphate of lime ... 2.04
Chloride of magnesia ... .24
Sulphate of soda ... .41
100. 00
This salt is used for salting hides, for packing meat, for salting cattle, and the finer grades as dairy and table salt. The successful mines are worked at Kanopolis in Ellsworth county, at Lyons in Rice county, and at Kingman in Kingman county. Thus it may be seen that the salt beds cover a large area of country.
In some places it has been found to be more expedient to bore through the salt strata, encase the wells and pump water in, which flows out again as a saturated brine. This brine is then evaporated for the production of salt. This method of making salt is carried on at Anthony and Wellington in the extreme south, and at Hutchinson, Nickerson and Sterling in the Arkansas valley.
The well is about six inches in diameter, and inside the tube is a smaller tube down which the water is forced. The brine is stored in vats till some of the solid impurities deposit, and is gradually drained off into wrought iron pans for evaporation. Most of the pans are heated directly by a fire placed beneath one end. At this end of the pan the brine is retained for some time till it concentrates enough to deposit much of the sulphate of lime; then the brine flows into the main pan, and as the salt crystalizes out it is raked out upon platforms on the sides to drain.
Another method of heating is by what is known as the "Grainer" process. Here the vats are heated by coils of steam pipes. There are two plants of this class at Hutchinson. The brines as they come from the wells are nearly saturated, and have about the following composition in 1000 parts:
Sodium chloride (salt) . . . . . 286,080
Insoluble residue. . . . . . . . 075
Sulphate of lime. . . . . . . 5,404
Chloride of magnesia. . . . . 1,190
Chloride of calcium' . . . . . 320
the rest being water.
From this a salt is made containing from 96 to 98.5 per cent of pure chloride of sodium. These salts on being compared with those produced in other parts of this country, as Michigan or New York, are shown to be as pure as any, and as good. The quantity that may be thus made is practically unlimited, as the saline beds underlie many entire counties. The text to be printed in the Biennial Report of the State Board of Agriculture will be accompanied by a number of cuts descriptive of the different processes of manufacture.
The Chemistry Department has recently spent much time and care in making analyses of Kansas salt. In another column of this paper are printed results of the analyses. In reading the article, one is impressed with two ideas: First, that Kansas has good salt and much of it; second, that the University is a paying investment for the state; it aids in developing the minds and mines of Kansas, Kansas men and Kansas wealth.
The class in eighteenth century French literature has read already this term representative tragedies of Voltaire and comedies illustrating history of comedy in the eighteenth century, being representative works of Regnard, Destouches, Le Sage, Marivaux, and Sednae, along with lectures by Prof. Canfield on the history of dramatic literature of the century followed by lectures on the general literature and society, in which the life of Voltaire was taken as the central point The class is now reading Beaumarchais' comedy, Le Barbier de Seville.

THE GYMNASIUM
COMMUNICATIONS
a's.
The mental and physical well being of the next generation depends, upon the mental and physical condition of this. This is true irrespective of sex.
All prominent educators realize that judicious physical training strengthens the mental powers; that no university curriculum is complete without a certain amount of required gymnasium work; and that the student who completes his course impaired in health, has gained but little from his alma mater.
Let us consider the stand the University of Kansas has taken in this matter. Some two years ago a wealthy and liberal lawyer of New York, delivered an address before the University, and was very much impressed with the facilities for mental training and the lack of opportunity for physical training in our noble institution. He immediately gave the Athletic Association $1,500 with the promise of a further sum equal to any the association might raise, and not long since gave $150 more. What was done with this gift and the money that the association raised? It was spent for a foot ball and
case ball team, for a high court reefer for would-be spectators who could not or would not pay, and for a grand stand for would-be spectators who could and would pay. McCook Field has been fitted up at an expense in round numbers of twenty-five hundred dollars. And to benedit whom? Why, twenty-five or thirty-bodied young men who least of all need such physical training, and who often carry one or two studies in the University merely to get an opportunity to twirl the horse-hide or carry the pigskin. But someone says, "We must have a foot ball team to advertise the University." There is a difference between reputation and notoriety. Or suppose that our team is defeated. What then? A gymnasium is never defeated. It is a benefit to all the students in college, all the time. "But our gymnasium is even now being refitted." How much do you think will be expended upon it? One of the faculty said the other day, "We can probably raise forty-five dollars towards fixing up a gymnasium. We shall buy some boxing gloves and a rowing machine, and shall charge the students who use them two or two and a half dollars per term, according to the number of such students." About the same amount was expended last year. Compare one hundred dollars expended to benefit six hundred people with two thousand five hundred to encourage twenty-five or thirty in a brutal pastime.
Then again are the young women to receive any benefit from such a gymnasium as we are to have? No. They are not considered at all. It is to be exclusively a gymnasium for the young men. Here is a matter surely worthy of consideration. If five hundred dollars were expended upon a gymnasium for the young men, and the same amount upon one for the young women, and a small amount of work in them required for graduation, the University of Kansas would acquire greater prestige and benefit mankind vastly more than if she had the best foot ball team in the world; and a step would then be taken toward perfecting that noblest of habitations, the dwelling place of the human soul, the body.

The fame and influence of K.S U.is not confined to Kansas soil. The jungles of Africa and the broad plains of South America have seen some of her favorite sons. Egypt and the Fiji Islands are soon to become the homes of two of her representatives. Even her animals have gone to the world's fair to teach taxidermy to mankind.
The latest addition to her fame has been made by J. F Noble, R D. Brown, H. S. Hadley and H. F. Roberts at the North Western law school in Chicago. They are maintaining well the honor and dignity of Kansas' favorite institution. They are taking the law school by storm. Brown is president of the Junior
class. Noble and Roberts are teaching the effete easterners how to scheme, while Hadley is editor-in-chief of one of the colleague papers of which Senator Palmer's son is business manager.

The report has long been current throughout the state that the Kansas University is in the control of secret societies, and that a student who does not bind himself by oath to one of these organizations is deprived of social and political advantages. As a result many students are positively known to have left the state or remained in smaller schools. Such a condition can no longer be said to exist. Why could the independents not take the initiative in an interstate organization? With the support of the non-fraternity papers in other universities it would become an easy matter. It would at least make a good subject for discussion at the next general meeting of Independents. S.
Prof. Sayre's Lecture.
The very interesting lecture given by Prof. Sayre last evening in music hall is another evidence of the value of the popular music hall course. The Dean of the school of pharmacy had for a subject, Science, Theoretical and Practical, and it would be a matter of gratification if the believers in "pure science" if all men who are so intimately connected with the practical applications of science should put the same value upon "pure" scientific work as does Dean Sayre.
The whole lecture was a brave and earnest defense of what in reality should need no defense, viz. pure science. Prof, Sayre is a pleasing and forcible talker.

ARTIST
SNYDER.
At the meeting of the Language Conference held December 14, Miss Florence L. Snow read a graceful and appreciative review of the life and works of Eugene Lee Hamilton. Mr. Hamilton was born in England and educated at Oxford and on the continent. Entering the British diplomatic service he was stricken at Lisbon with the malady which makes him a hopeless invalid. He took up his residence at Florence and there discovered his poetic gift. Formerly every literary artist who used the English language visited him when in Florence, but of late years the advance of disease has made him inaccessible to most. He can not read and never revises his works. To this fact, perhaps, is due the clearness of his poems. A few lines of poetry are read to him each day. These he memorizes, and by this slow process does some translating.
Shadow Photos. Latest Novelties.
The general impression left by Mr Hamilton's poetry is given in a line from the preface to "The New Medusa." "This book is all a prison growth watered by prison water, not by rain." To his confinement is due the author morbid imaginations. "The New Medusa" is the story of a man who chanced to be on the ship which rescued a woman floating on a mast. He married her despite the old belief that only guilty beings were thus miraculously preserved In a dream one night, her black hair turned to snakes, and the horrid creatures coiled round his throat, stifling him The hideous things grew upon him, and at last came when he was broad awake Brooding upon the old legends of those guilty of many crimes, whose hair became snakes, he resolved to become an avenger. But as he stood with uplifted sword the beauty of his sleeping wife well nigh conquered him, until suddenly, instead of silken tresses loathsome serpents writhed around her pillow. He struck, but on the sewered head, were only raven locks. Helived on, tormented by the ever present question whether he were an avenger or a murderer. Supernaturalism such as this, is present in much of Lee Hamilton's work, but not in all. In the "Hunting of the King" we catch the bounding music of outdoor life, while the sonnets, too, have a more healthy tone. Mr Hamilton's latest work is "The Fountain of Youth" a tragedy in five acts. In this worked out the story of Ponce de Leon embellished by the author's fantastic imagination.

Mr. B. W. Woodward next read a paper entitled "Some Literary Hersely." A celebrated American wrote, some thirty years ago, the best guide book to Rome that has ever appeared. Through its magnificent descriptions of the ruins and wonders of the Eternal City there dance before our eyes certain phantoms, the characters of a romance.
From this poet's life we derive two lessons: first, the suffering of the material world for any writer; second, the mission of limitations.
Hawthorne is at his best in "the clear sunlight of truth." A good healthy mystery may have a legitimate function in romance, no doubt, but Hawthorne is unskillful in the management of the mysterious. He lets us see the clumsy machinery by which the puppets are moyed. In "The Marble Faun" various explanations of Miriam's origin are suggested, but they are all "too thin." The final hint is that the two chief characters are Beatrice Ceni and her accomplice re-embodied.
But many errors of execution may be pardoned if the purpose and spirit of a work are good. What Hawthorne teaches through Donatello is elevation by sin. This is poor metaphysics. Our own experiences contradicts it. Rather does one crime cause the commission of others. It may seem that the interplay of imagination and conscience would
stimulate a dull fellow, but a person with these attributes would not be dull.
Hawthorne becomes entangled in the web of his own mystery, and gets the ancient land of Etruria inextricably mixed with the territory of the ancient provinces.

Miss Inez Ruggs conducts a very interesting ladies department in the Missouri Argus.

An exchange quotes Dr. Jordan, of Leland Stanford, as follows: "College marks, college honors, college degrees—all these things belong, with the college cap and gown and wreath of laurel berries, to the babyhood of culture. They are part of our inheritance from the time when scholarship was not manhood, when the life of the student had no reason to the life of the world."

Rice Wins the Baker Contest.
The annual oratorical contest at Baker Tuesday resulted in a victory for Mert Rice. The decision gave universal satisfaction as far as the audience was concerned. The program of the evening was nicely arranged and well carried out. Miss Cunningham's singing was one of the chief pleasures of the eveining.
After the invocation by Rev. J. A. Matter, President Schaffner introduced the first speaker of the evening, Mr. H. B. Wren. He spoke on the subject, "A Page of Cosmical History." Mr. Wren had a master piece, but his delivery of it was rather unfortunate. He did not warm up to his subject until after his climax and then it was too late. He made a good impression however and received second place.
"Who Rules History," by M. W. Games, was logically treated. Mr. Games spoke a little rapid and his pronunciation was not perfect, and his gestures were not smooth. Mr. Games, however, will at some future day make an orator.
"Daniel Webster, or The Defender of the Constitution," by G. A. Marvel, came next. Marvel's appearance was decidedly against him, and his gesturing did not help him out any. However, he handled his subject well. The hero of his oration, Daniel Webster was painted in glowing terms. His oration had an oratorical tone, but the speaker failed to impress his audience and secured last place on delivery.
Mr. Rice, the winning orator and favorite of the audience, then delivered an ordation on "Government and its Functions." Mr. Rice's friends had expected much of him and they were not deceived. He made a good impression. His movements upon the rostrum showed that he had been there before. Rice has a deep voice, he is very deliberata, his gestures are almost perfect. He treated his subject well and before the completion of the delivery of his oration the audience were convinced that he was the winner.

Prof. Blake's Return.
Prof. Blake returned this week from the east where he has been, in connection with his experiments of under water telegraphy. He stated that nothing was definitely known as yet. The government wanted him to proceed with his experiment's at once but on account of his University work it has consented to wait till June for him to take charge of matters. He says that he will not permanently leave the University but may take a leave of absence for a few months or even a year. The government has placed at his disposal any-station in the United States with preferences for Staten Island. A bill has been introduced in the United States senate appropriating $50,000 for the work which will be carried on, regardless of whether or not the bill passes, but should the bill fail to pass it will be carried on, on a smaller scale.
Captain Schlev, who rescued the Greeley expedition and was in command of the Baltimore during the Chilian troubles, will be subject to Prof. Blake's direction. He further stated that England had started on the same method that he had been trying but was five years behind him. This makes the government more anxious to complete experiments.
Between now and June Prof. Blake will carry on experiments on a small scale here. When the ice breaks he will use the little steamer which is now on the north side.

The session of the moot senate last fuesday was an unusually interesting one. Several senators qualified and took their seats. The select and standing committees were appointed. A resolution to appoint an investigating committee to inquire into the situation at Topeka, Kansas, was strongly advocated by the republicans and violently opposed by the democratic and populist senators. It was debated unlit 11 o'clock and the senate adjourned without voting on the resolution. An announcement was passed admitting law students to membership in the senate who have graduated from other colleges.
"The Unexpected Guests" is the title of Howell's latest farce published in the January number of Harper's Magazine, Unity club will play it tomorrow night on their own stage.

There is a professor in the University who requires each member of one hisipal classes to give to him every Monday morning a written statement of the authors and amount read, and of the time spent in reading during the week, on the subject in hand.

STUDENTS and instructors can not make a university. Buildings also are requisite.
It is an almost melancholy spectacle to see a great university like ours crimped because it lacks buildings and money. ___
In this country there are some schools with many buildings and few students. Kansas University, on the contrary, has many students and few buildings.
LEASE is in the oratorical contest to star. He has the right to be there. And for any set of men to attempt to throw him out is indicative of meanness and cowardice.
The machinery at the present time in the shops so nearly takes up the room that it is almost impossible to crowd any students in the shop to use the machinery. More room or fewer students; which shall it be? ___
THE Lord helps those who help themselves, says the proverb. With slightly different meaning, the same is true of men; they help those who need no help. If the University can once get a good lead, it will have scores of friends and donations—success.
THERE can no longer be any doubt that conjuring is possible. To speak the word Lease in any manner whatever, within the hearing of most University aspirants for oratorical honors, causes them to be seized by three evil spirits, Fear, Shame and Shakes.
When the machinery in the electrical engineering shop is running, the floor trembles and shakes. To the students working there, it is suggestive of death. Yet, since the students have come here and the shops are in the only room procurable, the present quarters must be used until a better building is erected.
Most men do not interest themselves in forlorn hopes. They prefer to help institutions that are popular and influential. They then feel that their money will do some good. If the present legislature aids the University to the extent that Mr. Spooner did, it will not be long until other private individuals will make more gifts to the University.
The $90,000 gift from the Sponsor estate should be used to erect a library building; the state should appropriate a like amount to be used in erecting other buildings. In this way individuals would be shown that Kansas is in earnest about her University, and more of them could be induced to make it donations.
One good result to be derived from the abolition of the uselessly tedious examination, as announced a short time since by the JOURNAL is that with the present short, but possibly offender repeated examination, it will be more difficult for a student to cram, there being now no idle examination week to be used for that evil purpose.
The force down in the shops has the new former almost set up; and as soon as this task is done, the new large lathe will be finished and set up. But at the present time there is no place to put these machines. In construction and operation they are admirable, but until the shops have more commodious
quarters they are worth nothing; they can not under any circumstances be used in the present shop. ___
As soon as there is a new building for physics and engineering, with shops adjoining thereto, the University will be enabled to offer a course in mechanical engineering. With more room and more machinery, the University will be able fully to accomplish its mission of helping all Kansas.
When the chemistry and pharmacy departments, and the physics and engineering departments have buildings large enough for their needs, and there is a separate building for the library, the crowded condition throughout the whole University will be relieved. Then, better work may be expected.
ONE advantage to be gained by erecting a new building for engineering and physics is that then the machine and blacksmith shops may be situated on one floor. Being thus situated, they may then be effectively superintended by one instructor; whereas, situated as they are at present, such supervision is almost impossible.
A hint for the legislature: Illinois and Missouri are situated side by side, each of them having a state university. That of Missouri is in a flourishing condition; that of Illinois less so. Missouri is willing to support hers liberally; Illinois be grudges support to hers. Missouri is winning the approval of the press and of public sentiment; Illinois receives from the press and the public general condemnation. ___
THE editors of the Annual are working hard. Their volume will undoubtedly be the most artistic yet sent out of the University. The price of subscription will now be received by the editors as a token of good will and encouragement. Out of town subscribers may send their dollars directly to the editors of the Annual, or to the editor-in-chief of the STUDENTS JOURNAL to be by him paid to the editors of the Annual.
The State of Kansas has had its herdbook; the University of Kansas is now to have one. The Senior Class is preparing it, and are going to name it Annual. That is Latin. A picture of each of the prominent members of the herd is to be inserted. By a prominent member is meant one, for the insertion of whose picture somebody will pay ten dollars. Thus, it is plain to be seen none but the finest of the herd will gain recognition.
LAST week's Ananias charged the STUDENTS JOURNAL with plagiarism, but dared not indicate when the plagiarizing occurred; hence, on the face of it the assertion is false. And to excuse itself for using our matter, the Ananias accuses us of using stereotype. There is only one college paper using stereotype, and the public knows full well that paper is not the JOURNAL.
The moral atmosphere of the University is as a whole pure, but in it there is one tainted spot. A prominent member of the faculty, who was formerly in favor of college fraternities, recently said, his experience has been that the members of fraternities here, on account of vicious conduct, require five times the attention from the faculty that all the rest of the school together require. When the fact is considered that the members of fraternities constitute less than one-fifth of the whole number of the students in the University, the above statement is very significant; and it indicates that twenty-five chances to one, the fraternities either attract the rowdies of the University, or that they make rowdies of their members. In either case, whether they attract or make rowdies—no matter how many exceptions there are to the tendency, and it is but proper to say there are very many exceptions—it speaks emphatically. It might prove interesting and profitable if each member of the faculty would consider the above statement, as made by his colleague; and see how much truth there is in it.
TO PATRIOTIC KANSANS.
NO matter to what political party they belong, or to what creed they subscribe, all Kansans who are patriotic to the state, or have a love for it, should unite in procuring all the proper appropriations for the State University. Something must be done, or the universities of neighboring states by means of more liberal appropriations will leave the University of Kansas behind. By teaching the citizens of the state how to kill off chinch-bugs and other pests, and by determining for them by the proper scientific tests, the real worth of this or that mineral, the University has within the last year saved or made more money for the state, than has been expended to maintain the University. Nor is this all. Aliberly educated brain's worth more dollars to the state, than any section of the most fertile farming land in Kansas. This being true, Kansas is not doing as much as she ought, to help her University along. In the last eight years Nebraska has given her university $125,000, with which to erect buildings; in the same time Kansas has given her university only $50,000, or two-fifths of the amount Nebraska has given her university. In the same time the University of Minnesota has executed buildings costing over $500,000, or more than ten times the amount expended by the Kansas University. Will Kansas keep abreast of the times, or will she content herself in following in the rear?
THE appropriation for the prospective engineering and physics building should be liberal enough to fully satify the needs of the department. In the building there should be pillars of solid masonry, so that delicate instruments in them might be as quiet and firm as if resting on the solid rock foundation of the earth. The walls to one of the rooms should be of solid stone, in order that explosive materials might not shatter it into ruins. Another room must be of wood through out; even the floor must be put down with wooden pegs, instead of nails; not a particle of metal dare be used in its construction. This is to avoid the evil affects of metal on instrumentes of the greatest delicacy. To erect and fit this building, each part being adapted especially for its particular use, requires $55,000; but, unless each part is adapted especially for its particular use, the building would be almost worthless.
THE branches of study, which two hundred years ago used to receive all the attention of the student, are worth as much today as they ever were. But the conditions of society have changed. Youtbs now attend school, in order to learn any one of a large number of trades, instead of spending a much longer time in doing harder work and learning less, as apprentices. The modern students accomplishes far more in a life time than the old apprentice did; for in the first place, he can by means of a wider knowledge do more in a given time; and, in the second place, he can start at his trade sooner than the old apprentice could. In his plain science and practice go hand in hand, while the apprentice had to rely almost wholly on practice. These facts being true, the wise course for those in charge of the University to pursue is to encourage as much, or more than ever, those branches of study which used to receive all the attention of the student, and in addition to liberally encourage the modern branches, science, mechanics, engineering etc.
The University, through its university extension lectures is reaching out to help the whole state; if the whole state will as freely reach out to help the University, the two will go forward together to the grandiest of success. ___

Part I, of Henry Sweet's long expected New English Grammar, logical and historical, Clarendon Press, 1892, containing introduction, phonology and accidence, has been placed in the library. This is the first scientific English grammar ever written by an Englishman. The only authi ve work on English grammar heretofore has been the three-volume treatise by the German Mauerzner. Though this new grammar of Sweet's is a large work it is intended to be elementary and practical. In considering English historically he deals only with those linguistic facts which have bearing on the English of today. An adaptation of this work should be used in every grammar and high school in this country. Unfortunately it is usually the case that our students have no knowledge of grammar, no clear idea of the functions and relations of words in a sentence, until they have studied a foreign language. This defect Mr. Sweet proposes to remedy by his English grammar.
Cleasby any Vigfusson's Icelandic Dictionary and the Corpus Poeticum Boreale have been placed in the library Richard Cleasby, an Englishman, began the dictionary in 1840. It was revised by Vigfuss n., an Icelander, in 1874, and published by the Clarendon Press. It is one of the best dictionaryes ever made for the study of a foreign language, and involved a great amount of labor in its compilation as at that time nearly all the sources were still in manuscript and not easily accessible.
The Corpus Poeticum Boreale, the poetry of the old northern tongue from the earliest times to the thirteenth century, edited, classified and translated into English prose, with introduction, excursus and notes by Vigfusson and Powell, in two volumes is a monumental work on Icelandic literature. The first volume contains Eddic poetry; the second court poetry. Eddic poetry consists of the poetry of the so-called Elder, or Saemund's Edda. The younger or Snorri's Edda, is mainly in prose, written by Snorri Surluson, who lived from 1178 to 1241.

It is to be hoped that these two works and some Icelandic readers soon to come, will help introduce into the University of Kansas a knowledge of the Icelandic language, literature, and people. The Norsemen, settling in Iceland in 874 soon developed in that isolated nook a literature, rich and extensive, almost wholly uninfluenced from abroad, the maryel of the Middle Ages. During the darkest periods of the Middle Ages, Iceland was the home of learning and letters. Its literature possessed all the literary forms known at that time, except the drama, including the most naive and charming of story forms, the story-telling saga. Icelandic literature is the only Germanic literature that embodies a complete system of mythology; hence one reason of its importance as a subject of study. The remains of this literature are not scanty or fragmentary as is the case with Moreso-Gothic or Anglo Saxon, nor is this language a dead language. The Icelanders of today speak almost the same language as their ancestors of a thousand years ago. The language is very free from any admixture of words of Greek or Latin origin, and thus has great value for the student of philology.
Facilities for studying Icelandic are now offered not only by the universities of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germanv
and England but also by the leading schools of this country,such as Harvard, Columbia, Johns Hopkins, Chicaga University and the universities of Wisconsin and Minnesota.

ASTRONOMICAL NOTES.
Saturn, the second in size of the giant planets, will rise January 25, at 34 minutes past 10 o'clock p. m. and will cross our meridian at 4 o'clock and 27 minutes a. m.
The two very bright stars now visible every clear night, between dark and midnight, just south or southwest of our z-nith, are the planets Jupiter and Mars. The former is a brilliant white, and the latter is red. Watched from night to night they are seen to be traveling towards the east, and Mars appears to have a more rapid motion, which will enable him soon to overtake and pass his larger neighbor. At 10 o'clock p. m., January 25, there will be a conjunction of Mars and Jupiter, when Mars will pass the latter, one degree and twenty-six minutes to the north of Jupiter, on his eastward course. January 23 at 48 minutes past 6 o'clock p. m. there will be a close conjunction of Jupiter and the moon.
There will be only two eclipses during the year 1893, and both will be of sun. The first will take place April 15 and 16, and will be total but invisible in North America. The line of totality will be over South America and Africa. The other will occur October 9, and will differ from the first in that it will be annular, that is to say, when the moon covers the face of the sun in such a manner that a ring of the sun's surface, or of sunshine remains visible all round the moon's limb, the result is then called an annular eclipse. The path of the eclipse of Oct. 9, will be in a south-easterly direction over the Pacific ocean and ending in South America.
It is now proposed to construct an immense reflecting telescope whose mirror is to be ten feet in diameter and the tube 140 feet in length. This huge telescope is to be ready for the Paris exhibition of the year 1900. A discussion upon the difficulties of constructing such an instrument and mounting it is already going on. It is said that this telescope would enable an observer to see the moon as if it were distant from his eye but one meter, or 39 inches, but a practical astronomer, a Frenchman, says that with the highest practical power, in the best atmosphere, the moon would be seen through it as if it were 15 miles distant. E. MILLER.
The least possible number of eclipses that can occur in a year is two, and both of these are central. A total eclipse occurs when the body eclipsed is entirely hidden from view. The largest possible number that can take place any given year is seven, five of the sun and two of the moon. As a general law there can be only two eclipses of the moon during any calendar year, yet once in a long time there may be three, as was the case in 1787.

Buckwheat FLOUR.
Prof. Sayre for some time past has been engaged in examining samples of buckwheat flour collected from different parts of the state of Kansas, and from some of the eastern states. This examination was conducted in order to ascertain the quality of the article supplied by the Kansas markets to determine whether a very extensive adulteration was going on, as some had intimated, among the millers of the state.
It is well known that buckwheat flour has a peculiar effect upon some people, causing irritation of the skin and not unfrequently affecting seriously the mucous membrane. A marked recognition of this property, Professor Sayre ran across in his investigations. A connoisseur of the breakfast buckwheat cake delicacy thus wrote to one of the millers of the state: "I understand you make genuine buckwheat flour. Please send me *** buckwheat. We want something that will give us the itch." The result of Prof. Sayre's examination of buckwheat flour will be found in the biennial report of the state board of agriculture soon to be published. It is

flour people, and not by the cognizant Sayre a con- wheat of the and you Please some- itch." inination in the of ag. It is
gratifying, this report states, to know that there appears to be no mineral (earthy) adulteration in the flour. $\Delta$ microscopic examination reveals the fact that the two principal admixtures are corn and wheat flour, the latter often being in small proportion. In one case the flour examined contained so little buck-wheat that it was almost impossible to sea any buckwheat starch granules under the microscope. It appeared to be a mixture of corn and wheat flour adulterated with a small quantity of buckwheat
Very little attention is paid to the raising of this grain in the state of Kansas. About fifteen hundred acres under cultivation yield 30,000 bush-els, the value of which is about $22,000. New York and Pennsylvania produce about two-thirds of all the buckwheat raised in the United States. That which is produced here is raised largely for experiment. Our farmers seem to think such a crop either impossible on account of the acidity of the soil at the very season it should be moist for the filling of the grain, or at best unprofitable even when the conditions are fair. It is evident however, that the experiment has not been tried sufficiently to arrive at any very trustworthy conclusions.
The Annual.
the Annual has already been sent to the printers, Hall & McDonald of Topeka. The rest will in all probability be sent in a few days, and a strong effort will be made to get the book out not later than April.
It is sometimes said that an annual is no better as a medium for communicating facts about a college or university than are the ordinary catalog published yearly by such institutions. In a sense no doubt this is true. Perhaps an annual is even not so good as a catalog for some kinds of facts. A young man or woman wishing to enter a university will find in a catalog more satisfactory information as to how he is to enter it and what he is absolutely required to do after entering than he can get from the best college annual. But if he wishes to find out all he can about the real life of the students, of the spirit which animates them, of their relations to one another and to the faculty and if he is such a person as a university ought to seek to enroll among her students he will wish to know all these things before making choice of a school, then he must go, not to the catalog, but to the college publications, and above all to the annual, whose highest function it is to give a faithful picture of the many-sided life of the student with all the local coloring which belongs to that life as it is lived the particular institution by and for which the Annual is published.
It is a very grave mistake, therefore, to think that a college annual is something which seeks to fill a place that it is not vacant. When undertaken and executed in a spirit of fairness and justice to all, the publication of such a book is an enterprise than which none worthier can be engaged in or given the kindly support and good will of all students who have the welfare of their University at heart. It is needless to say that without this kindly support no annual can be a success either financially or in any other way however faithfully its business managers and publishers may seek to do their work. The Annual which will be published from this institution next April, whatever else it may be, will at any rate be a publication that will fairly represent and describe the entire student body of the University of Kansas. As such it is fairly entitled to the most loyal encouragement and support from every student of the University.
There was a large attendance of University people at the Whitney Mackridge concert at the Congregational church last Saturday night. The concert was one of the finest ever given in Lawrence and all were highly pleased with it in every particular.

Language Conference.
Two very interesting papers were read before the conference on Thursday, January 12, the first one, "The Relation of History and Fiction, by Mr Ross, and the second one, Beowulf and Achilles by Miss Edith Manley.
MY boss said: We are told that history and story are the same words, derived from a common Greek source. History is regarded as information obtained by diligent inquiry and critical examination. But the word story has fallen from its high place of also meaning something obtained, by inquiry, and now signifies a mere creation of the imagination. The relation of these two words will be readily understood by considering the nature of history in its early development as a branch of literature. Macaulay says of Herodotus: "He has written something better than the best of history; he is from the first to the last chapter an invention." But Macaulay did not mean that the history of Herodotus was not based upon reliable information, but that for the sake of adding interest to his book Herodotus exaggerated many important events. Thucydides and Livy may be criticized for the same thing. The plays of Shakespeare are not good history; they are something better than the best history, for they combine accurate historical information with the profoundest philosophy of life.
Many historians err by sacrificing truth to eloquence. History, as it is written, gives too much attention to details at the expense of the real facts of history. The novelists of the present time have done more than just to entertain the reader. They have furnished a vast amount of historical information, and enable the reader to grasp the important points more firmly. It is certainly true that there is as much truth in the poetry of life as in its prose.
Miss Manley said.—It is not always wise to judge a nation by its actual achievements. It does not seem unfair to regard the hero of a nation's epic as the representative of that nation's ideal. Achilles was the ideal Greek of the heroic age. Beowulf was the first among the Danes and Geats. Beowulf and the Iliad are the characteristic productions of two nations' at essentially the same stage of development. Let us recall the story of Beowulf. While upon a voyage Beowulf learns that his friend Hrothrang has suffered much from the ravages committed by Grendel. Beowulf determines to seek revenge, and goes to the home of Hrothgar. The first night he is there he is aroused by an attack of the dragon. An encounter takes place and Grendel is killed. Then Grendel's mother seeks revenge by carrying off nine of the warriors. Beowulf attacks her in her cave in the bottom of the mere, and after a terrible struggle kills her also. Then he returns to his home. After fifty years Hygelac, his king, dies, and his throne is offered to Beowulf, but Beowulf refuses it while there is a lawful heir living. Finally he becomes king. Then a terrible fire dragon begins to devastate the land. Beowulf goes out with a party of Goats to destroy him. But as soon as the fight begins the Geats all desert Beowulf excepting his nephew. A terrible fight ensues. The dragon is killed, but Beowulf is mortally wounded. His last words are words of comfort and wise counsel for his people.
The story of Achilles is far different. It is an account of a man, base selfish, one who hates the king, and is seeking revenge for his injured feelings. Doubtless many of the revolting characteristics of Achilles may be attributed to the rudeness of the age. His love for his friend, and the sorrow caused by his death are genuine passions. Achilles as well as Beowulf feels the shadow of an over-mastering fate. Of Boenwulf not one unworthy action is recorded. He habitually rises above self and thus portrays a nobler race of people than that which Achilles represents.

The Seminary Meeting.
At the University Seminary Friday Judge James Humphrey delivered an especially interesting lecture on the relations of political economy to governmental legislation, presenting the question from the standpoint of each platform as influenced by party interests.
The coinage subject was forcefully treated, tracing its growth through its primitive stages, noting its abuses in the old countries and their bearing upon our legislators; considering the exchangeable value of gold and silver as dependant on the market prices of the metals or as created by the government stamp, and the call for the legislative equalizing of the purchasing power of gold and silver and their relation to the cost of production. The equalizing principle was a strong point in each of the lecturer's arguments, from the monetary value of the metals to the demand and supply of products and attendant fluctuation of prices and the evil of over supply as exemplified by the growth of the cattle industry and its abatement, demonstrating that if the amount of gold and silver was doubled its exchange value would be diminished one half, and that on the hand if exchange values diminished, production would cease to be profitable.
Wages were duly considered as affected by imports and the resultant demand that if foreign production is allowed to compete against home production, there should be levied duties equal to the difference between wages abroad and at home; wages as affected by the adveracity and not affected by the prosperity of employers; the tendency of the latter to diminish compensation and the protest of laborers in strikes.
Judge Humphrey outlined the policy of free trade and its consequences, defined the rights of 60,000,000 people as better determined by that number than by 400 assembled in Congress, and finished with a plea for the party that would give to each supporter the right to dispose of his own in the furtherance of his personal interests and to the greatest good.
Are there to be chapel rhetoricals next term? If so the list of speakers with their dates should be posted as soon as possible. To wait until a week or two from the time when they are to commence would be a manifest injustice to those who have to speak first. To write a good oration takes considerable time, and the students should be given all the time possible, and not be compelled to neglect their other work at the last moment. A student never expects that he will have to speak first until his name is posted.
The committee on reception to the University of Kansas Giee and Banjo club, which appears at the Auditorium February 24, met yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock and discussed various plans for the proper reception of the club on its arrival. A committee will be appointed at the meeting to be held at the same time and place next Tuesday afternoon to go to the dept and escort the club to one of the hotels. Several of the boxes at the Auditorium will be taken by "K. S. U." people and will be decorated in crimson, the colors of the University The club has just completed the most successful tour, during which it gave twenty-four concerts, attended eighteen receptions and had a royal reception all along the line.-Kansas City Journal.
The following are the faculty regulations concerning examinations: Examinations will be held for all students, and during the regular recitation hours of the last days of the term (or half term), each study in its proper recitation hour; they may continue, not to exceed one hour for each hour per week that the study has occupied. Special examination will be given only during examination weeks and during the opening week of the fall term. A condition which is not made up at the next examination period is replaced in the list of failures. A student falling in more than one-third of his work severs his connection with the University thereby.

"The Beacon is no braggart. We would rather tell poodle dog and mastiff stories after the game and prefer to talk about pennants when we can illustrate our talk with life sized portraits of victors. But, privately and as a matter of good fellowship toward K. U., we would advise them not to send their second eleven to the oratorial contest. And if the first eleven can't possibly come, they had better play two or three of the second eleven in their regular positions." The Beacon is evidently feeding another rooster.
Wherever one finds an exuberance of college spirit, there one finds good football, good baseball, good athletics of all kinds, good students, good professors—in fact a good college. This is as true as that two and two make four. Under a good head of college spirit, the football player runs faster, the baseball player bats harder and the track athlete lowers has record. Nothing gives such an impetus to every college sport as true collge spirit. It is the one thing needful to spur up the laggard and enthuse the ambitions. It gives vim and tart and acid to every event. It is the popper of activity that must be mixed with the salt of stability."—Buchttelle,

The second lecture in the University extension course in municipal and domestic sanitation was delivered last night at Spalding's hall, by Prof. F. O. Marvin, of the University of Kansas. The subject of the lecture was "Infection and disinfection," and was made especially noteworthy by the presence of the mayor and most of the members of the city council. The entire course is one which is of such public interest, and which affects so closely the municipal government, that the mayor and council have accepted invitations to attend the remaining lectures of the series.
the lecture last night dealt with in infectious diseases and the best means of disinfection. It was a lecture by a physician rather than a civil engineer, and the thorough manner in which the professor handled bacilli, microbes, tubercies and other inhabitants of the air, and the terms of familiarity in which he-poke of tuberculosis and microphaga phthisis would have become a demon's rator in the highest grade medical institute in the country.-Kansas City Journal.

WHILE not of a nature to become frequently talked of, the Department of Languages working steadily and progressively.
The efficient work of Mr. Haworth in economic zoology, in which he is a proficient expert, may be expected to have a telling effect, financially and otherwise.
WITHOUT the aid of the geological department of the University, the State of Kansas would probably have long remained in ignorance of the real worth of the geological deposits.
The universities of neighboring states have of recent years used money more freely than formerly. That partially explains why Kansas University is at the point of losing its position.
When the present law for the maintenance of the University was passed, the appropriation was almost sufficient. Since that time, however, the number of students has greatly increased.
THE University looks to the health as well as to to the wealth of Kansas. The public is receiving from the School of Pharmacy druggists who are able to sell drugs without poisoning patrons.
GOV. LEWELLING has shown himself in favor of liberal education by recommending in his message to the legislature that they give due consideration to the report of the regents of the University.
THE studies carried on by Prof. Black mar with a view toward effecting reforms in prisons, charitable and reformatory institutions will help classes of men everywhere needing help most surely ___
The proper use of mechanical agents is an almost infallible means of acquiring wealth. The School of Engineering is giving practical education to its students which must prove of very great worth to the State of Kansas.
THE tests of Kansas coals and salts, made by the Chemistry Department of the University, may prove of much worth. They show the exact strength of each subsistance taken from various places in the state.
BESIDES being offered larger salaries elsewhere, the members of our faculty are tempted to leave us, because at other Universities they would have more books and apparatus. An increase in the appropriation for the current expenses of the University is the only remedy for such cases.
The way one department of the University supports another is well illustrated by the new course in mineralogy, designed for engineering students. By examining stones with microscopes, fitted especially for the purpose, students are enabled to determine more about the qualities of a building stone than by any other one method. To be sure, the test of the crushing machine in Prof. Marvin's department is necessary, in order to determine the strength of the stone. The microscopic test shows their durability. To a builder the knowledge of their durability is fully as important as a knowledge of their ability to withstand pressure. This method of testing is recommended by being of little trouble or expense. It is much to the credit of our University, and the Geological Department in particular, that ours is one of the first schools to introduce this cheap, simple, and practical method of examining stones.
THE HONOR OF KANSAS. SHALL
IT BE MAINTAINED?
Harvard, Cornell, Williams, and others of the best schools in America, have taken members from the faculty of Kansas University, and placed them in their own faculties. In each case the inducement was dollars. Amherst, Northwestern and other high grade schools, have also offered to some of the Kansas faculty enticing advances in salaries. These latter offers, however, have been refused, because the men to whom they were tendered had faith in the patriotism of the Kansans; they believed that the University of Kansas would soon be as well cared for as other schools.
Is it to be? The honor of Kansas is involved in the question. When one educational institution goes to the faculty of another to procure instructors, only the most able are selected. The possibilities are that the intellectual dwarfs in any faculty will receive no offers from other schools. As a consequence, when any school from a lack of funds must endure having men leave its faculty, to enter other faculties. it suffers from having its able men leave it; and it suffers from not having its incompetent men leave it. If it does not have funds enough to retain its able professors, it will not have funds sufficient when they are gone to procure other good ones. With only its incompetent men remaining, and being able to hire none but incompetent men, a poorly supported university can have none but an incompetent faculty.
Because our faculty are lovers of Kansas, having faith in the loyalty and patriotism of the Kansans, many of them have remained here when larger salaries have been offered them by other institutions. Yet, because they have in the past remained here when offered larger salaries elsewhere, is no guarantee that they would do it in the future. If they have been selfeneying enough to labor and to wait here for more liberal support, the state should now be practical enough permanently to hold them here, by offering them something near the same encouragement offered them by other schools.
THE PRACTICALNESS OF MODERN EDUCATION.
Education has been dethroned from its former useless eminence. It is no longer a refined amusement for rich idlers; no longer a patent medicine to strengthen weak minds; no longer a subject for reproach, as it was sometimes in the past, but a blessing for its possessor and for the society in which he moves. Its tendency at the present time is not as it was formerly, to discourage its possessor from working, but rather to incite him to greater endeavors. Today the student is not satisfied to commit or to repeat mummies stolen from the musty past; but on the contrary he is studious of the living present. His education is nothing more nor less than practicalness, disciplined and well informed.
Practicalness though it be, too much can be, and sometimes is, expected of it. To gain money is not the sole aim of education. If it were, the very narrowness of the aim would defeat the aim. It is because modern education is comprehensive and liberal, that it is superior to the education of former times. The betternement of man's condition, for example, did not at first glance, seem to depend on his knowledge of the compass or the astrolabe; it did depend on it, however. It is due to a knowledge of these two instruments that America was discovered. At first glance man's well-fared did not seem to depend on his knowledge of zoology; but it did depend on it. In the instance of the cinchin-bug, our own University has undeniably proven that an accurate knowledge of one disease of one insect is worth thousands of dollars every year to a single state. What is true of zoology, is true of botany. By knowing well the nature of the small plants, commonly called rust, smut, etc., man is enabled to use the forces at work in nature as he does a yoked ox.
In all branches of learning, parallels to the instances just given may be found. In each instance the most beneficial part—even if considered only from a standpoint of making money—was not discovered by attempting to find a maker of money, but by attempting to find the truth.
Then, society should not ask institutions of liberal education to become money hunters. Left to follow their own course, they will acquire and disseminate more liberal knowledge, and in the end, by means of that more liberal knowledge, more effectively care for the wealth and health of society than would otherwise be possible.
A COMPARISON.
The relativey position of the University can be determined only oy comparing it with other universities.

There are four blanks in the table, because the data in those four particular cases are unknown, and at the present unprocurable However the table is nearly enough to show that the University of Kansas is supported less than half as liberally as the universities of neighboring states. Every time the University of Kansas receives 43 cents the average university among the other seven receives $1. Everything else being equal, the chances are one hundred against forty-three, that the other universities will leave the University of Kansas behind—unless it receives better support.
In its faculty it has less than half the number of instructors that the average of the other universities has; or—to express it in decimals—the number of its instructors is only forty five per cent of the number in the faculty of the average of the other universities. The result is, our instructors have little or no time for original work, without which the mind of an instructor becomes as a stagnant pool. "All work and no play makes Tom a dull boy;" all teach and no study makes an instructor no instructor.
$150,000 vs. $311,000.
The estimates sent in by the farmers indicate that within the last two years the experiments at the University, with chinch bug diseases have saved over $311,000 worth of grain. Within those same two years the state has appropriated only $150,000 for the current expenses of the University. The amount appropriated for the University is considerable less than one-half the amount saved by one single thing. Other professors have saved much money for the state. as Prof. Kellogg by his pamphlet on pests, and so on, and so on. The list, if completed, would be very long. But, notwithstanding this, the University is crippled by a lack of funds.
As the pleader of the University's cause the STUDENTS JOURNAL should receive the united support of the students and faculty. For it, as for the University, encouraging words are agreeable, but with encouraging words we can not pay bills. Pay your subscription.
LITERARY DEPARTMENT
CHINATOWN.
San Francisco, as everyone knows, is a cosmopolitan city. Almost every race and nation is represented here. As a rule each nation has its own particular quarter. That which seems most interesting to strangers is Chinatown. Right in the very heart of the city, and only a block from the Plaza, live some 40,000 or 50,000 Chinese in exactly the same manner as they do in their native land The Chinese, unlike the Japanese, are a very conservative people. All their ancient customs are still preserved. The streets of Chinatown are very narrow, so narrow in fact that through many of them teams are unable to pass. The buildings are of the Chinese style, with little grated windows, overhanging balconies, and pagoda-shaped roofs. The doors of the shops are adorned with red and yellow papers bearing Chinese characters, and from the many balconies hang huge lanterns made of horn and gaily painted. Chinatown at night, when all these lanterns are lighted, is a sigh long to be remembered.
About the first place that a tourist visits is one of the Chinese theatres. There are some four or five of these, but the Grand Theatre is the one usually selected. One enters and finds himself in a large room filled with hard wooden benches. At the end of the hall is the stare which is entirely desititute of curtains or scenery. In the rear wall are two doors through which the actors enter and exeunt, and between these at the back of the stage sit the orchestra. White visitors are usually conducted to seats upon the stage at one side. The instruments upon which the orchestra play are very singular, consisting of one-stringed fiddles, gongs, cymbals and many indescribe instruments. These "musicians" play during the whole performance, most of the time completely drowning the voice of the actors.
The pieces represented are usually taken from Chinese history or legends, and run for weeks, a part only being performed in one evening. The actors are all men, as among the Chinese no women are allowed on the stage. The costumes worn are very rich and expensive, being mostly of bright colored silks. The armor and swords used are very ancient and of great value.
Their custom of having no curtains or scenery looks rather strange and primitive. For instance it seems absurd to see an actor when he has finished his part, step aside and in full view of the audience drink a cup of tea, or to see the property man arranging the furniture on the state for the next scene. It is no less amusing when a character in the play has been killed (which occurs every fifteen minutes or so) to see the corpse get up and demurely walk out while the man who is supposed to have killed him, marches up and down the stage, waving his sword, shouting, and holding up by its queue a wooden head which the property man brings in and hands to him.
Way up on the walls, high above the stage, are queer little boxes, reminding one of bird houses, from the grated windows of which peep out almond eyed ladies.
Another great attraction of Chinatown is its numerous temples. There are innumerable ones, all more or less alike, I will briefly describe the largest of these, recently erected at a cost only a little short of $100,000.
External y it is an imposing building, with overhanging roof. The doorway is a handsome marble arch. The whole front of the upper story is one huge balcony which is hung with magnificent lanterns. The front of the temple is ornamented with beautiful carvings and gildings, and over all floats the yellow triangular flag of China, bearing the blue, five clawed dragon.
Entering the temple one finds himself in a vestibule paved with marble from China. Just over the door is a bit of granite from the Great Wall. The walls of this vestibule are hung with rich silk
finely embroidered. A few dim lanterns shed a subdued light upon the scene. One ascends the stairs to the second floor, and right before him is a Chinese court room. Chinamen never sue each other in our courts, but maintain courts of their own. This room is fitted up in ebony and gilt. Along the sides are ranged richly carved chairs for the judges, and at the extreme end a sort of throne for the presiding judge.
On the next floor is the temple itself. As one ascends he becomes aware of a peculiar sweet odor. It is sandal-wood and incense which is being burned in the temple. The temple is almost dark. Just before him is a huge gilded shrine covered with real and artificial flowers. At the other end of the room is a similar shrine, and back of that are heavy curtains. They are parted, and in the dim light one can faintly see a huge idol some ten feet high. Different temples are dedicated to other gods, as the Chinese have some dozen deities. The walls of the temple are decorated with splendid carvings, gildings and silk hangings. Just before the shrine where the idol stands, is a low table upon which are placed queer sticks of sandal-wood. Before a Cainaman goes into any important undertaking he goes to one of the temples, and kneeling before some idol which is an especial favorite of his, picks up one of these sticks, tosses it into the air, and carefully notes which side falls uppermost. One side means "Yes," the other "No."
A really comprehensive description of Chinatown, of its restaurants, barber shops, opium and gambling dens, of the Chinese New Years and the great Dragon Procession would fill a quarto volume.
Leaving the temple one goes out onto the balcony before mentioned. Here are two bronze yases valued at many thousands of dollars. They are filled with the ashes of incense and sandalwood which has been burned in the temple. It is estimated that these ashes represent the remains of some thousand dollars
It is impossible to give anything like an adequate idea of a Chinese temple, the dim light, strange barbaric decorations, the odor of burning incense and sandal-wood, the strange weapons and armour arranged on the wall, must be seen and experienced to be appreciated. What might be termed "Under ground Chinatown" is of as much interest as that which is visible to the tourist. It is a part which very few but the police ever see. All through Chinatown, under the streets and alleys, are tunnels which have been dug by the cunning Chinamen. Although our Mongolian friends are good laundrymen and servants yet they have their little faults, such as killing each other occasionally, gambling, opium smoking, and the like; so they concluded that it might be a good idea to construct these tunnels to avoid any unpleasant meetings with the police. Now if a Chinaman commits a crime and gets down into the tunnels, one might just as well expect to catch a rat after he has got into his hole as him. These tunnels are really a sort of catacombs. The Chinese believe that if their bones are not buried in their native land, their souls will be turned over to Fung Choy, who attends to the Mephistophlecan affairs of China, so the bones of the Chinese who die in this country are sent home after some three or four years. Many skeletons are stored down in the tunnels awaiting shipment.

Bret Harte is reported to be at work on several stories—enough to keep him busy for a year to come. He has just completed an American story—not an English one, for though he lives in England, he does not propose to deal with English life. "No," he says, "let English people write of England and Americans of America. There is any amount of material in America to be worked into fiction, if Americans would only write. To write what you have lived is, to begin with, one secret of success." Mr. Harte thinks that the fiction of the civil war

We are accustomed to think of Harvard as teaching everything that any one might want to study. But the following extract from Prof. A. R. Marsh's report on the modern language departments of Harvard will show in what important branches this conservative institution is behind the other newer and more enterprising schools: "In the modern language departments the following languages are taught: Old and Middle High German, Modern German, Gothic, Old Saxon, Icelandic, Low Latin, Old and Modern French, Provencal, Italian and Spanish This is a very gratifying list, ank yet the experienced eye will detect at once several serious gaps in the round of studies which the University should aim to offer. For example we have but one course in the Scandinavian tongues—i.e. Icelandic; not a single course in the modern Low German languages; not one in the Slavic idioms, in Celtic, in Portuguese or in Catalan. When one reflects upon the extent and value of Danish, Swedish, Dutch, Russian, Celtic and Portuguese literatures, and upon the number of persons of all these nationalities now to be found in the United States, he cannot but regret that the resources of the University are insufficient for providing at least elementary instruction in them."

The Shanar Dancing Girl and Other Poems, by Cora M. Stockton, published Hudson & Kimberly of Kansas City.Mo. has been placed in the library. Mrs.Cora M.Stockton, formerly Mrs.Cora M.Downs, liyas at Kansas City, Kansas and was for a time a regent of the State University during Gov. St.John's administration. The volume is dedicated to Mrs.Bertha Palmer, and shows the author to possess the gift of easy versification. The poem, "Mountain Born." is, in our judgment, the best in the volume.
The contents of the January number of the Kansas University Qurererly are as follows: On the Ayioceridae and their Allies, S. W. Williston. Diptera Brasiliana III. S. W. Williston. Notes on Some Diseases of Grasses, W. C. Stevens. Modern Higher Algebra, E. Miller.
Dialect Word List II, W. H. Carruth; Maximum Bending Moment for Moving Loads in a Parabolic Arch-Rib. Hinged at the ends, E. C. Murphy.
It is worthy of observation that simultaneously the masses started to the universities and the universities to the masses. Last year the different members of our own faculty delivered one hundred and fifty lectures to Kansas communities accepting no remuneration outside of traveling expenses. At the same time the number of students of the University has greatly increased.
THIS is no time for loyal Kansans to stand idle. The State University, the head of the educational system of Kansas, has reached a crisis. It must have help; not encouraging words; not good wishes: money-money ineeded.
The course in the drama given conjointly during the past term by Profs. Wilcox, Robinson, Canfield, Dunlap and Carruth, consisted of lectures on the history of the stage and of dramatic literature in Greece, Rome, France, England and Germany, and of reading in the library. Each member read in translations five plays, and made a critical analysis of one of them, of each of the literatures of these five nations.
A grand reception and ball is talked of in honor of the Glee and Banjo club directly after the concert Friday night. Fraternal Aid hall will probably be engaged and the admission of 50 cents a couple charged, the proceeds to go to the University Columbian exhibit fund.
Senator Thacher, of Lawrence, has introduced into the state senate, senate bill No 151, an act relating to the Spooner library building at the State University of Kansas.

The Greek Symposium.
At the meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 18th, Mr. Jus Bowersock read a paper on the Philosophy of Socrates. The pre-Socratic philosophy, he said, led to two forms of skepticism; that of the sophists and that of Socrates himself. The latter though was a complete answer to the former. This was shown by a review of the sophists and their doctrines and the corresponding ideas of Socrates. The latter was not, as is often said, only a missionary, but is justly entitled to be called a philosopher in the realms of ethics. The master of Plato must have been a philosopher, and indeed his whole life proves that though he did not develop a system publicly, yet he had one. According to that, thought, not sensation is the most important part of man, and the human mind contains within itself a great number of innate ideas. The method of induction and the definition of general terms were at least suggested by Socrates, if he did not actually himself employ them. Virtue, he taught, was knowledge; vice a sort of madness which can be removed by knowledge. His death, even more clearly than his life, marks him as one of the world's greatest philosophers.
Mr. Sterling exhibited and spoke of the latest edition of Jowett's Translation of Plato. Though not always giving an exact reproduction the of thought of Plato, it makes that thought clear to men of today, and by its beautiful style has given the English language a work ranking with its great originals.
Prof. Wilcox spoke of the existing portraits of Socrates and Plato; showing a reproduction of a bust lately found which gives the best portrait we have of Plato.

W. G. Kelly, son of ex Senator Kelly, who until the legislature convened attended the University, has been appointed clerk of the senate committee of cities of the first class of which Judge Thacher is chairman, and the following is told about how he got the place: Kelly started out to be a reading clerk in the house, but he was deposed at the instance of Chairman Simpson of the republican state central committee Kelly, the younger, recognized at once that his set back was due to the blistering which his father gave to Simpson in an interview published just after the Waterloo. He said that he would see whether in Kansas politics the sins of the father were to be handed down to an innocent generation The young man has shown that he is something of a politician himself; he has turned the flank of the republican generalissimo and given up a place with an uncertain prospect for a position with a sure salary.
MATTHEW ARNOLD went to see him on his arrival, and it is needless to say that Whittier derived sincere pleasure from the visit; but Arnold's delightful recognition of Whittier's "In School Days" as one of the perfect poems which must live, gave him fresh assurance of fulfilled purpose in existence. He had followed Arnold with appreciation from his earliest appearance in the world of letters, and knew him, as it were "by heart" long before a personal interview was possible. In a letter written after Arnold's return to England, he says: "I share thy indignation at the way our people have spoken of him—one of the foremost men of our time, a true poet, a wise critic, and a brave, upright man, to whom all English speaking people owe a debt of gratitude. I am sorry I could not see him again."—From "Whittier," by Annie Fields, in Harper's Magazine for February.
Prot. Hicks has predicted that from January 25th to 27th we are to look for rain or snow and after a few days of warm er weather, hard freezing weather about the 31st. He forecasts for February 1st cold, 5th, warmer with rain or snow to the 7th. Then will follow a cold wave extending to the 12th, and cold with sleet, rain thunder, snow to the 19th and storms and much cold to the end of the month.

SECOND ANNUAL REPORT.
Chinch Bng Station. Figures of
Cancellor Snow's Work.
The second annual report of the chinch bug experiment station is just out and being distributed over the state. Chancellor Snow has operated for two years with $3,500 and has accomplished wonderful results. The report this year contains statements of results of diseased bugs sent out and accounts of the work as seen by field agents, and the following summary is given:
During the season 3,000 requests for infected bugs were received, of which number more than 3,000 were from Kansas farmers. In every case where the application was accompanied by live bugs (a condition obviously necessary in order that the infection boxes might be kept stocked) infected bugs were returned. Resulting from these 3,000 applications, reports were received regarding 1,732 field experiments Of these 1,732 experimenters, 196 report a failure to drive the infected bugs a trial for various reasons; the results for 120 cases were doubtful in the minds of the experimenters; in 372 cases no successful results were obtained; and in 1,044 cases infected bugs were believed to have been used with successful results. Thus 67.9 per cent of the experiments regarding the outcome of wich reports were received were successful. 24.3 per cent were unsuccessful, and 7.8 per cent were doubtful. In making these percentages the "no trial" reports were of course excluded.
Of these 1,044 successful reports, 383 include specific estimates of crops saved by the experiments. The sum in cash value of these estimates is $39,481.15. If the average amount may be fairly applied to the remainder of the 1,044 Xanas experimenters, an aggregate saving of $107,615.52 may be estimated. In the two years 1891 and 1892, during which the station has existed, an aggregate saving of crops amounting in cash value to $300,925 52 is estimated.
Infected bugs were sent to eight states other than Kansas, and also to Indian and Oklahoma Territories. Reports were received from 216 experimenters in these states and territories, of which 153 reported successful, 7 doubtful, and 40 were unable to give the infected bugs a trial.
TEH January number of The Agora, the Kansas magazine published at Topaka by Crane & Co., and edited by T. E. Dewey, is now being issued, and the table of contents seems the strongest yet presented. The frontispiece is a portrait of Hon. E. F. Ware, the Kansas laureate and lawyer, followed by some of his verses. Mesdames Johns, Moore, Lease, Ware, Carruth, Todd, Grubb, Belleville-Brown, Humphrey, and Brown, tell whether or not Kansas women want to vote. Col. H. L. Moore, writes of Shakesere's best drama. Judge Guthrie continues his historical recollections. Dr. Wynn reviews E. W. Howe's last novel. J. D. Bowersock gives a business man's idea of Shelly Mrs. Lesse prophesies about unfinished creation, and Col Phillips protests vigorously against the "young crowd." The poetry is contributed by Etta Manschkart, Ezra Porter Chittenden Thomas William Heatley, Carl Brann and Francis Joseph Lange.
