Now for examinations.
We are all glad to begin studying again.
THE Baker Beaker begs the Courier's pardon, which we graciously accept; but please, Mr. Beacon, don't make those mistakes too often, it is very apt to impair friendship.
FRIENDS IN COUNCIL, a society of which the most prominent ladies in Lawrence are members, made the University a very generous loan of their library, consisting of one hundred volumes, for which the students are very thankful. The friends of the University are daily increasing and manifesting their friendship in various ways.
THE COURIER has been somewhat backward in giving a reply to the call sent out by the Washburn Argo, asking the editors of the respective papers, whose colleges will be represented in the Topeka contest, to meet in general council. We are in favor of it. Count on the Courier being there. We hope, also, to accompany a winning orator to that Kansas metropolis.

Yes, so they decided at the last meeting of the Western Inter-State Foot Ball Association, when they declared the Kansas University foot ball team the champions of the southwest.
At the last meeting of the Western Inter-State University Foot Ball Association some very important business was transacted. One of the principal changes made in the constitution was that of imposing a fine of fifty dollars on the team which fails to play in any scheduled game. This is right. If any队 thinks it above their honor to play any opposing one because of a colored member, why, let said team stand by its convictions and pay their fine. At the meeting the prize rather the amount of forty dollars to buy one, was given to the Kansas team, who were declared the champions of the league for '92.
Kansas, as well as the University, is proud of the Glee Club. The boys have been doing excellent work and giving the best of satisfaction to intellectual and appreciative audiences. The newspapers in the various towns and cities in which the club has been, speak very flatteringly of all. The club well deserves the
GLEE CULB.
THE ANNUAL.
The contract for printing the Annual has been let to Hall & O'Donnel, of Topeka. This makes it certain that the book will be mechanically, at least, everything that is to be desired.
The board is getting the copy together as fast as could be expected under the circumstances. But owing to the great amount and variety of matter which the Annual will contain, and the large number of persons who are engaged in the preparation of it progress is necessarily somewhat slow. Some of the best talent in the University, among both professors and students, will contribute to the literary department, and it is believed that this will be one of the most interesting and creditable departments in the book. Neither pains nor expense is being spared to make of the Annual the most elegant, as well as one of the most useful books ever published about the University of Kansas.
All who have not yet subscribed for the Annual and expect to get a copy, would do well to hand in their names at once to some member of the board. The size of the edition to be issued must be decided by January 10, and after that date the subscription books will be closed. It is not at all likely that those who neglect to subscribe will be able to secure a copy at any price after the book comes out. Probably not more than one half of the students have as yet subscribed. This is not a very creditable showing. An enterprise of this kind, undertaken for the good of the University alone and not for the profit or aggrandisement of any clique or faction, is fairly entitled to expect from every student at least the meager support represented by one subscription. It is hard to see how any student, however poor he may be, can have so little pride in the institution at which he has spent or expects to spend some of the best and most important years of his life, as not to be willing to make some small sacrifice to get possession of a book which will be to him all his life a reminder of his college days, and which, moreover, will put in convenient and permanent form all that in after years he may wish to know, yet find himself
unable to recall about the University as it is now and his old University friends. It is, there fore, the earnest wish and expectation of the class of '93 that the name of every student will be found on the subscription books of the Annual by the evening of January 10.
OUR SUCCESS.
TOPEKA, KAS., Jan.1, 1893.
DEAR COURIER:—At the close of the third week of the second annual tour of the University Glee and Bango Club it gives we much pleasure to state to your readers that the tour, thus far, has been a musical, social and financial success. And every indication points to a continued success during the coming week, which closes the longest tour ever made by any college glee and bango club.
In each of the cities visited the boys have been enthusiastically received and most hospitably entertained. They have been greeted by large audiences in nearly every instance, the largest being at Topeka last Wednesday night, when over 1,200 people listened to the concert and gave frequent evidence of their appreciation by numerous encores and repeatedly yelling, Rock-Chalk, Jay-Hawk, K! U.!" It was a great night for the University.
In no instance has the club received an unfavorable press notice, but each notice has testified to the high character of the entertainment and to the fine looks and uniformly gentlemanly behavior of the boys. The tour is making a host of friends for K. U., as each particle or advertising, from the large crimson posters that fill the bill boards of each city to the handsome half-tone circulars and the very neat programs, all contain, in bold letters, the name and location of our beloved Alma Mater. Besides all this the social features of the tour have been prominent, and in nearly every city the boys have been accorded a reception by the leading people of the city, so that personal acquaintanceship has gained for K. U. a wide circle of staunch supporters.
The University may well feel proud of the club this year, and naught but a slanderous tongue can speak otherwise. The boys have been faithful in their work and gentlemanly in their behavior. They will be welcomed back to each city visited by even larger audiences. And much of the success is due the efforts of Professors Penny, Done and Saunders, and also to Mr. Ed. Young.
The tour closes with Holton, Hiawatha, St. Joseph, Atchison, Leavenworth and the Soldiers Home, the coming week. The
boys will arrive home next Sunday over the Santa Fe.
J. A. RUSU, Business Manager.
A MEETING CALLED.
A special meeting of the Moot Senate has been called by President Adams, to convene next Tuesday evening at the University in room 15. The object is to reorganize and begin work again, if such is desired and decided upon. All old members as well as those who are desirous of doing the work are urged to be present It might be added tor the benefit of those who are unacquainted with the by-laws, that any Senior or Junior in the collegiate department; any special student who is taking work in the optional department; any law student who has taken or is taking work in the collegiate department, is elegible to membership.
THE CONTEST.
Every summer is warmer than the preceding one; every winter is colder, at least so the people say when an unusual warm or cold day is experienced. And now it would seem that the January contest will be even a much stronger one than that of last years.
A prominent professor in oratory informed a friend and this friend innocently told the editor of the Courier that there were, and had been, three young men from the Kansas University taking lessons in oratory for the last eight weeks. No one would ever suspect that these three, of oratorical aspirations would think of entering a contest, and they have been working faithfully on orations for some time.
The contest promises to be a strong one. There will be at least twenty orations, from which the faculty committee will chose six. A list of those who will probably hand in orations is given on another page.
KANSAS JUSTIFIED.
Hallbrook, of Iowa, who refereed the game of foot ball, in the fall of '91, between the Kansas and Iowa teams, and because of whose reckless decision the Kansas boys went off the grounds, now acknowledges that he was wrong. This is quite important for our team, and decides once for all that they are the winners of the disputed game and were justified in leaving the grounds. Though the decision is rather late in the day, yet better late than never. The Courier congratulates the gentleman, Mr. Hallbrook.
By to morrow evening there will be six fortunate young men gloating over their prospects in the coming contest. What will the "non est'” think? Ugh! This will be worse than going up salt creek

STUDENTS IN KANSAS CITY.
A large number of ex-students of the University of Kansas gathered at Spaulding's Commercial College hall last night and had their affection for their alma mater revived by hearing addresses from Chancellor
Snow, Professor J. W. Green, of the law department, and from Professor A. S. Olin, of the Kansas City, Kas., schools, and Professor I. C. McNeil, of the Kansas City, Mo., schools.
There were present at the meeting a number of the former students from across the line. President Sullivan called the meeting to order and introduced Chancellor Snow, who had come down for the especial purpose of addressing the association in response to an invitation. The Chancellor was most heartily welcomed by the "boys and girls" who in former years had gathered weeds and insects under his direction. For there is in the history of the institution no ante-Snow period. Snow was there at all times since the University was first started. His address last night was along the line of the assistance possible to be rendered by such an association as that which had been started.
The coming of the University Glee Club on the evening of February 3 was discussed and the following committee appointed to see that they got a proper reception when they appeared at the Auditorium: Frank A Marshall, Campbell Watson, F E Reed, Ed Brown, P E Vestal, W A White, J D Wendorfl, Cyrus Crane, Alfred Fidler, J G Smith, A S Olin and CM Evans. The following committee was appointed to secure a roster of the ex students in Kansas City, Kas.: A S Olin, W J Morse, J B Harris, I F Bradley. The association then adjourned till the next meeting: February 1.—Kansas City Journal.
UNITY CLUB.
Unity Club was favored Wednesday night with an interesting paper by Prof. Robinson on the subject of St. Augustine. The great bishop of Hippo is one o'view figures in church history who have come down in something like flesh and blood. Augustine is, however, not merely alive and modern, even to the nineteenth century world. He is the man who has done more than any other to fix the intellectual beliefs of christendom.
Prof. Robinson traced with care the story of the "bad boy," the "bad youth" and the "bad young man," born in 354 on African soil, but of Roman parents, through the schools of his native town and of Carthage. He recounted his career, a teacher of rhetoric at Carthage, his brilliant success as an intellectual athlete, his miserable subjection as a man to sensual and degrading passions. But Augustine possessed a nature both sensitive and strenuous, a nature in which the bad and good
elements must sooner or later find themselves at war. The first impulse towards better living came from the reading of Cicero's Hortensius. From this perusal Augustine decided the passion for philosophic truth. This he sought for a time among the disciples of Mani. After severing his connection with the Manichian set, he removed to Rome, and from Rome, in answer to an invitation, he went to Milan, a teacher of rhetoric, ever foiled in his eager attempt at reaching the truth. "Tomorrow," he would say to himself, "I shall find it," but the morrow did not come. He began to tear he should die before reaching the secret at the center of things—and it is possible that his tear was not unfounded. But the time of his conversion was near at hand. The study of Plato had lead to that of St. Paul. Overwhelmed by a sense of guilt and shame, Augustine was weeping beneath a fig tree when he seemed to hear a voice calling "Take up and read." Then he opened the scriptures and was met by a text denouncing riotous living and calling on the sinner to "Put on the Lord Jesus Christ." Soon after he renounced his position as a teacher of rhetoric and was babuzed. Henceforward his eager zeal was given to the service of the church. He became presbyter and afterwards bishop of Hippo. As bishop his controversial activity was great. As was perhaps natural, his earliest attacks were directed against the Manichian heresy he had himself entertained. Next he encountered the Donatists, and gave countenance to theories with regard to governmental interference in religious matters which were wide teaching in their results. By decree of the emperor the errors of the Donatists were mad evident and punished. His most important controversy was with Pelagius, who controverted the doctrine of "Original Sin." Once more the truth as held by St. Augustine was vindicated by majority in an ecclesiastical council and the degree of the emperor. The doctrine of the church, that with Adam, the whole human race fell from grace was fixed in accordance with the position of Augustine.
Augustine wrote many books. Of these the most important ones are, the "City of God"—an inspired prophecy of the rise of the church take the place of the Roman empire then tottering to its fall—and his far-famed "Confessions."
He died at the age of 75, with the barbarian vandal at the gate of his beloved city. Fortunate, at least, that he did not live to see its downfall.

EIGHTH BIENNIAL REPORT.
How We Stand- Outgrown Our Present Quarters-New Buildings Needed.
The Eighth Biennial Report of the Board of Regents and Officers of the Kansas University has been issued, and is very flattering to those who are at the helm. It proves conclusively that we have reached a stage in our progress which would make any institution of note, enviable. One thing especially noticeable is the fact that the University has outgrown its present boundaries. Every department is crowded, and to overflowing. Facilities are lacking to accommodate and satisfy the increasing number of students; more laboratory room is necessary, more apparatus in the Chemistry, Physics and Natural History department imperative. The library room, especially, is cramped, and consequence many students suffer by the denial of free access to the books.
In speaking of the library, the Chancellor says: "As the number of volumes has increased, the space available for library workers has been diminished, until it has become necessary to exclude from the laboratory privileges of the library many students to whom these privileges would be of inestimable value. A library building with ample provisions for convenient access to books by every student of the University is an imperable need and can no longer be ignored. It is a continual daily loss to every earnest minded student to be deprived of the possibilities of culture from books which cannot be opportunely consulted." In summary of the financial need the Chancellor continues:
The annual appropriation for current expenses should be at once increased from $75,000 to $100,000. Kansas should make a nearer approach to other States in the support given to the State University at the earliest possible date. It may be stated that the annual income of the University of Michigan is $380,000; of the University of Minnesota, $157,000; of the University of Ohio, $150,000; of the University of Iowa, $118,000; of the University of Nebraska, $112,000 (this being the average for the past five years); of the University of Kansas, $33,000, of which sum $75,000 is from State appropriation and $8,000 from interest on endowment. In addition to these amounts, the Universities of Nebraska and Minnesota each receive $33,000 per annum from the United States for agricultural experiments and instruction.
Provisions should be made at
the earliest possible date for the erection of new buildings, as follows: A Library building, a building for the Department on Physics and Electrical Engineering; a building for the Department of Chemistry and school of Pharmacy; a Gymnasium, an Astronomical Observatory; an addition to the Hall of Natural History; a Dormitory Hall for young ladies. It is hoped that the coming Legislature may make the necessary appropriations for the erection or at least two of these buildings. Eight years ago the Legislature made appropriation for the construction of a trail of Natural History. Since that time no additional appropriation has been made for building purposes, with the exception of the amount necessary to erect a boiler house for the proper heating of the three buildings on the main University campus. During these eight years the institution has grown from a condition in which high-school or preparatory work largely predominated, into a condition somewhat approximating the character of a real university. The preparatory work has been entirely abolished. The high schools of the State to the number of 75 are in full connection with the Freshman class, and all departments of university work are thronged with students. Without the necessary buildings to facilitate the work of these students, the usefulness of the University must be checked and its growth brought to an end.
Since the appropriation of $50,000 by the Kansas Legislature for the University natural history building eight years ago, the people of Nebraska have taxed themselves $125,000 for for the erection of buildings for their State University and Minnesota has expended upwards of $500,000 for the erection of new buildings. In the latter case, more than $350,000 were furnished by State appropriations and the balance by private gifts. Kansas cannot afford to be outstripped by her northern neighbors in the equipment of her University. State pride may here find a legitimate field for exercise. The young men and women of Kansas are as worthy of the best educational advantages as are the sons and daughters of Nebraska and Minnesota.
Chancellor Snow wants $100,000 for the State University this year, and a man who has taught the farmers how to salivate chinch bugs ought to have anything he asks for from a legislature which professes to be consecrated to the cause of agriculture. —Kansas City Star.

"GORY GAMBOLS; "
OR THE KROLCISOME FANCY OF /
CHAMPION FOOT-BALLIST.
I love my adversary's legs to kick,
To frisk upon his features with my feet
Or bunt him in the bell 'till he's sick—
All this is sweet.
I smile to hear his collar bone collapse, Accompanied by his expiring serecee To crack his ribs is happiness, perhaps Beyond all reach.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JANUARY 13, 1892.
I laugh when in the scrimmage wild,
I smash the thigh bone of some lusty
boy,
And see him borne off, helpless as a
child--
That that is you.
My sturdy heel into his spine I jam
To beat his mouth until he pouts at fate,
To punch him sternly in the diaphragm
I rapture great.
And then to batter flat his shapely snout
Is pleasure that can't afford to miss;
To tear a handful of his *giblets* out—
That, that is bliss.
Than to perceive his manly blood run red
No greater joy can unto me be given;
But at one kick to kick him down stone
dead—
That, that is heaven.
—The Lehigh Burr.

FEW FACTS.
Presumably Mrs. Lease will now turn all her energies towards the winning of the oratorical contest, in which her son will take part. It Mr. Lease can orate as well as his mother, beware, ye other five, of the six orators!
Of the six contestants who will speak on the evening of January 27, four belong to the collegiate department and two to the law department. Three are Seniors and three Juniors. Five are fraternity men, in fact six, as Lease is a member of the Farmer's Alliance.
SCIENCE CLUB.
The Science club will listen to a very interesting lecture this evening, given by Professor Stevens. The subject will be Diseases of Plants. The lecture will be illustrated by aid of the lantern. This will be one of the most important lectures of the year given by the Science club. All are invited to attend.
On the 6th of January a large number of orations, in fact an unusual large number, were handed to the faculty committee. Six orations were chosen from this number and the subjects and names of the writers are as follows:
ORATORS AND SUBJECTS.
Triumph of Higher Motives, Frank Lutz; A Voice of Humanity, Fred B. MacKinnon; The Jewish Race, Henry Lease;
University of Common Sense, W. H. Riddle; The Future of Monarchy, Thomas Bennett; The Struggle for Liberty, Thornton Cook.
The subjects of the orations and names of the orators indicate a strong contest. Perhaps none are so little known as Mr. Lease, but he comes from that climate which savors of oratory and much is expected of him. Messrs. Riddle and Lutz spoke last year; as the Lawrence Journal put it, "Made a very favorable impression."
THEY RETURN.
The Glee and Banjo club came in Sunday morning from Leav enworth, where the final concert of the four weeks' tour was given Saturday evening at the Soldiers Home. The boys are all looking extremely well after their trip, and are enthusiastic over their success.
LOCALS.
The club traveled over 2,000 miles on the tour, and gave twenty-four concerts and were given eighteen receptions. The total receipts of the tour approximate nearly $4,000. The receipts of the club were nearly one half this amount, and after paying railroad fare, hotel and advertising bills will have left in the treasury nearly $300. Credit is due the business management in so successfully completing a venture that seemed to many rather uncertain.
The Glee and Banjo club has earned for itself a reputation second to that of no other club in the country, and the many earnest admirers of the club and all lovers of good music will be pleased to learn that the club contemplates giving its famous concert at the opera house in the near future.

SATURDAY NIGHT'S CONCERT.
The Pioneer Press, of Saint Paul, seldom bestows such enthusiastic praise as this from its criticism of November 4: "A concert which was exceptional in the high degree of musical excellence it presented, was given at the People' church last evening before an audience overflowing in the amount of enthusiasm it manifested. The Whitney Mockbridge Concert Company demonstrated itself to be one of the most evenly balanced musical combinations which has appeared in St. Paul for a long time, and fully sustained the brilliant reputation which preceded it. No analysis of the program can impart an adequate idea of the superb character of the entire entertainment."

RICE won the oratorical contest at Baker. Mr. Rice is a strong man and will stand a good show of winning the state contest. However K. S. U. will put an obstacle in his way.
THE Sequoia, of Leland Standford University, got out a very beautiful Christmas number. The management deserves congratulations. Such an edition speaks volumes for the University.
THE COURIER wishes to correct a statement, to the effect that the examination system has been abolished at K. S. U., and which appeared in last week's Student's Journal. Such is not the case. Where the Journal acquired the knowledge is a mystery. Chancellor Snow knows nothing of the innovation, and it is on his authority we base our denial. The facts of the case are that it is optional with the professor. For instance: if a student is taking a whole study the professor may give him, at the end of the term, five separate examinations of one hour's length, or he may have regular recitations. And so in any other study.
WHAT a pity it is that the Kansas University has no chair of oratory! True it is that during the short interval of six weeks, and then only for Freshmen and Sophomores, Professor Fulton makes a few hasty visits and in a very hasty manner imposes a two dollar book and a few lesions in oratory upon his short lived classes. But what good do these few lessons dot! If the University is to keep abreast in oratory something must be done. Compulsory chapel orations might help, if there was a competent instructor in the University to give the students a competent training. As it is there is not the slightest encouragement given one to fit himself for a speaker, whether it be upon the rostrum or before a very commonplace gathering. This is unfortunate. It is to be hoped that the day is not far off when the evil will be remedied and a permanent chair of oratory established in the Kansas University.
Perhaps this is just a little early in the season to bring up the question of an inter-collegiate field day, but better too early than too late. The Courier would like to see the three colleges, viz: University, Baker and Washburn indulge in friendly rivalry and decide upon having a field day in common. It would be very exciting and enjoyable. From a financial point of view there is no doubt of results. Good prizes, as well
TRIANGULAR FIELD DAY.
as valuable ones, could be offered. But before discussing the matter further an answer from the respective institutions is necessary. What say you Baker and Washburn? Are you in favor of an inter-collegiate field day?
SINCE the first publication of our esteemed contemporary, the Students Journal, there has, from time to time, appeared in its columns remarks ungentlemanly as well as unfounded on facts.
For a time this paper was under the ban of a department, which permitted its publication providing all editorials, as well as personal and local matter, should pass through the hands of certain ones, whose business it was to use the knife that the welfare of the University might not be endangered.
The sole object of the Journal's publication being war upon the fraternities, upon the members who constitute them, and upon any periodical which would dare to champion them, the members of this committee were, for a time, kept busy. But it seems they have relaxed in their cautiousness, and in consequence the Journal is bristling with epithets, characteristic of a little boy who, when he wants a fight, dares his fellow playmate to knock the chip off his shoulder. The Courier is above this. A newspaper fight can't but do harm, and especially when indulged in by contemporaries of the same college. However if the members of this committee do not exercise more care and oblige the editor of the Journal to send his copy to the mill and have it thoroughly sifted, bolted and ground down, as of yore, it is possible that the Courier may be compelled, in self defense and in justice to those who have so fare patiently bore its malicious insinuation with commendable forbearance to use language of unmistak able import.
During our visit to Baldwin and Baker, on last Tuesday, we learned among other things that the old Athenian society, which was disbanded by Baker's faculty last tall, was still "in the push," so to speak, and are making it uncomfortable for that honorable body, which unceremoniously confiscated their chartered property and turned it over to the so-called piety young men and women.
BAKER ATHENIANS ALIVE.
A brief description of the case would probably not be out of place here, although a great many of our students are already acquainted with the facts. About a year ago some trouble arose in the society over the election of officers in which two factions, known as the Piety and anti-
Piety clashed, and over which considerable disturbance arose. The trouble had been settled quite amicably, however, to all concerned, when Baker's faculty not satisfied with the result took up the matter and disbanded the society, which it is claimed they had no power to do. Immediately they turned the property (amounting to over $1,000) over to the pious faction, who are at present enjoying what is termed by their opponents the "use of stolen property." Being a chartered institution the boys claim the whole business is illegal, and they have begun suit for the redemption of their property, which will probably come up in the February term of court.
To a disinterested party it looks as though the faculty are in the wrong. Of course they have had their reasons for taking this action however, but nevertheless the friends and many disinterested parties will look forward to the time when the "old Athenian crowd" will see their charter, at least their property, restored to them.
--editor of the Courier, and gave him no credit for it either.
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, it, 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, and give no credit for it, as the Courier did on December 16, we emphatically object. Students Journal.
Aped the Journal! Taken it as a model! Stolen whole paragraphs, word for word! Well, well! Did any one ever see in print a more perfect manifestation of consumate disease of the higher faculties.
"Aped the Journal, stole whole paragraphs!" Of course, after this awful revelation, of basest ingratitude on the part of the Journal, the Courier can not well afford to appear, thus branded, before a curious and critical public. Ape the Journal? may the heroes of mythology forbid! Stole whole paragraphs? Let us investigate. On December 15 the editor of the Courier had resource to the Lawrence Joarnal for a half column of stereotyped "University Items." The Students Journal made use of the same locals, perhaps, and now has the consummate gall to accuse us of aping and stealing whole paragraphs. We challenge the Journal to prove its several accusations; and further more will, if necessary, can prove that the Journal made use of one whole column of matter written by the

EXAMINATIONS
As there is but one more week of study before examinations begin, it may not be quite out of place to give a little information to the uninitiated. The most important piece of information that can be given is, that a student failing in more than one third of his work severs his connection with the University thereby.
It might also be interesting to know that 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.
All special examinations 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.
MR. LEASE, son of that lady of Kansas fame, will take part in the January contest in oratory.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY SUMMER SCHOOL
During the past summer, courses of instruction were offered by professors and instructors of Cornell University in Greek, Latin, French, German, English, Philosophy, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry Botany, Drawing and Physical Training.
In all there were a hundred and fifteen in attendance, representing twenty-two states and territories, Canada and Japan; and of these far the greater part are teachers and advanced students. The private venture, began so auspiciously, has now taken a more permanent form, and the school has been made the integral part of the University.
The list of courses offered for the summer of 1893 is greatly increased, and among the additions to the corps of instruction of last summer are Professors Wheeler and Bristol and Dr. Laird in Greek, Prof. Bennet in Latin, Prof. Smith in Elocution and Oratory, Prof. Tichener in Psychology, Prof. Williams in Pedagogy, Prof. Wilcox and Dr. Hull in Social and Economic Science, Prof. MacMahon in Mathematics, and Prof. Hitchcock in Physical Training.
THE LAW SCHOOL.—Summer courses in the School of Law will also be offered this year for the first time, instruction being given by the entire faculty of the school.
BOARD OF REGENTS.
The meeting of the Board of Regents last week resulted in the formation of a school of arts, with Prof. D. H. Robinson as dean. Prof. Marvin was elected dean of the school of engineering.
The heads of the different schools, five other members of the faculty of the school of arts and one other member of each of the other schools, were chosen a general committee to decide all questions of interest and other general matters of the school.
The decisions of this committee are to be made final by the action of the chancellor.
Prof. Olin Templin was made a full professor, and the rest of the session was spent in considering matters to be presented to the legislature.

The Greek letter societies in general promote those qualities which are most admirable in men. One exchange in speaking on this subject says: "Many instances could be given when young men have been saved from vicious courses by loyalty to their fraternity and by the influence of their brother members, when the good name of the institutions and personal pride were without influence. They develop a spirit which gives their members push and enthusiasm in the class room, on the athletic field and in the world." Institutions of this kind are in no danger of being driven from the modern colleges.-Lombard Review.
THE Anex has an editorial on President-elect Grover Cleveland which voices the sentiment of all fair minded citizens:- Lombard Review.
"When slander of the most malignant nature was heaped upon him, only three words where drawn from his lips, 'Tell the truth.' Coming into the highest position in the nation eight years ago, with little experience and much prejudice against him, his calm, firm, straight forward acts have won him a large share of public esteem. One of the brightest incidents of the late campaign was his delicate courtesy to President Harrison in refusing to attend the dedication of the Columbian Exposition while the latter was detained at home at the bedside of his wife.

STRONG CONVICTIONS.
CHAPEL ORATION BY MISS BOWMAN,
We are living in a grand and progressive age; in an age whose advancement surpasses any previous time—in science, art, literature and all pursuits in life.
Never before in the world's history was competition in every calling so fierce as now. Never did success, in a moderate degree, demand for its attainment such a union of physical and intellectual qualities, of energy, persistence and decision as in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Never before have people had such freedom of thought, such unlimited opportunities for advancement, such respect for all trades and professions in life.
Every race that has deeply impressed itself on the human family has been the representative of some great idea, which has given direction to the nation's life and form. Among the Egyptians this seminal idea was life, among the Persians it was light, among the Greeks it was beauty, among the Romans it was law, among the Americans it is liberty.
Our laws and customs recognize no noble titles, no heraldry offends our republican prejudices, aspiration meets with no such iron check as birth. A man may stand as high as he can build. But it is with individuals as with nations. There must be some seminal idea, some strong and deep conviction that should guide all actions.
should guide an actions.
Upon investigation, the circle of our acquaintances we are surprised to see how few have made a success in life, and that fewer still have reached that for which they aimed. The cause is evident; tossed and buffeled about by so many opposing forces without the rudder of a strong conviction, they have permitted themselves to become mere wrecks, incapable of any individual power.
He who would become great and powerful must set at naught books and traditions and speak not what men think, but what he himself thinks. It seems as if most of us dare not step upon untrodden ground, dare not be original. Our own thought does not seem worth the utterance, or our own deed worth the doing, simply because it is ours. But if all were so where would our orators, philosophers and inventors be? When do you suppose our own glorious continent would have been brought to light had not Columbus held fast to the strong conviction that was his whole purpose in life?
"There lives not a man on earth out of a lunatic asylum," says Lord Lytton, "who has not in him the power to do good." What men want is, not talent,
but purpose. The man who would succeed must single out some specialty and into that must throw all his powers. Broad culture is a beautiful thing to contemplate. But it is the narrow-edged men,men of single and intense purpose that move the world.
What element in human character do we most esteem? Do we not measure men by the clearness of judgment which they possess and display, tempered with prudence and confidence? Take any community, city, state or nation and there comes a time in the history of each, and all, when the mind turns instinctively to certain cool, clear-headed persons as leaders. These are selected because they are known as strong and true men, and moreover they are fearless men in endeavoring to do right.
How refreshing at times, amid the common places and platitudes of society to come upon a frank, sincere, out spoken soul. We are naturally so afraid of one another's opinion, so restrained, cautious and initiative in our intercourse, so bound by the chains of custom, that when an ingenuous untrammelled nature does appear, one having the unmistakable courage of his convictions, we feel unburdened and rested.
We do not mean that independence of established opinion which we some times see ignored merely for the sake of being singular. This is counterfeit and easily betrayed. When a soul speaks from the center it is instantly recognized. The "accent of conviction" is never mistaken. Men may not acquiesce but they will not censure. It is like Martin Luther's, "Here I stand, I cannot do otherwise." And it is a curious fact that the spirit which is thus willing, if need be, to lose all, oftentest gains all.
Trust thyself-every cord vibrates to that iron string-accept the place providence has assigned you,the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events. Let all your observations, study and work tend to develop your best convictions, your own true self.

MOOT SENATE.

The Senate is flourishing. A larger number of students are in attendance this year than last. The meeting on Tuesday evening did not adjourn until eleven o'clock.

After the regular meeting of the faculty Tuesday night, the professors of the different departments held a meeting for the purpose of electing officers.

Visitors from out of town always add dignity to a fraternity party, and we believe the presence of so many of these is the secret of the grand success of the hop given by the gentlemen of Phi Gamma Delta last Friday evening. Saunders' orchestra was the musical inspiration of the young people present.

The regular grind will soon begin.
THE K. U. Glee club has changed the college yell to Rock Chalk! Full House! K. U!! Round Table.
THE Christmas number of the Nebraskan is a very neat issue. The cut of the foot ball team looks splendid.
WASHBURN students may be orators, but there were only two of them in the local contest Wonder if they are ' Nailors '
SIXTY-ONE Freshmen, at Harvard, reported to the captain in response to his call for candidates on the base ball team.
PRESIDENT JORDAN, of Leland Standford University, receives the largest salary of any college president in the United States
THE Board of Regents, of the University of Wisconsin, have raised the incidental fee of that school from $10 to $25 per annum.
THE faculty investigation has evidently become an annual afair. A few students have been called before the disciplinary committee, but nothing startling has been developed.
A REFLECTOR six feet in diameter and one hundred and forty in length, is now in course of construction in Paris. It will bring the moon within a few hundred feet of the earth.
WITH a new library building, costing ninety thousand dollars, and many other additions to the over crowded departments of the University, we shall begin another era of increased prosperity.
THE winning orator of the local oratorical contest received three ones on thought and composition. We have no fears for a high position at the state contest. — College Life (Emporia).
THE state oratorical contest of Kansas has been won three times by Washburn college, three times by K. S. U., and twice by Baker college. Of course K. S. U. will win it this year, which will make her four times the victor.
The College Round Table objects to having the state oratorical contests held at Topeka each year. The Courier does not agree with the Round Table. The advantages to be gained under the present regime are apparent. The method of having the contest held at the several college towns has been tried and found lacking. Let good enough alone.
Don't be too "sartin."
"FEAR, shame and shake." may be characteristic of Sui Generis, but of the five orators, never.
No one has attempted to throw out Lease from taking part in the contest, as stated by a certain weekly.
THE present examination system, instead of giving the student an opportunity to cram for a single examination of three hours' length, will offer an opportunity to cram for five examinations of one hour's length.
Sui Generis says that his paper never makes use of stereotyped matter. Of course he is joking, and does not really mean it. If so will he please let us know who wrote up his account of the Baker oratorical contest in last week's issue. It was taken bodily from the Lawrence Journal.
We do not believe that there is a single professor in the University who would so far forget his dignity and the great importance attached to his office, as to go to any one student, or body of students, and to them make the assertion that immorality and licentiousness exists among a certain class of students. To make such a statement would be to defame the characters of two hundred ladies and gentlemen who constitute this class.
In no community of this or any other place is morality toned higher, and yet our weekly contemporary has the audacity to make the statement that a "certain professor" told him such was true. Quite a compliment for a professor to pass on two hundred ladies and gentlemen of the Kansas University! Of course no one believes it. Sui Generis was writing against time and to fill up space when he penned that article.
Fred MacKinnon and Thornton Cook are being trained by Otis Holmes, Bennet by Prof. Brownell, and Riddle by Prof. Jones of the English department. Lease is being trained by his mother.
Long hair and spectacles are generally indicative of intellectuality. But in one noticeable instance in K.U., long hair and short sense; spectacles and short sightedness, go hand in hand. And thus there are exceptions to all rules.
KANSAS is proud of her State University. From the small confines of a Lawrence high school it has grown and developed until now her reputation has penetrated in every nook and corner of this and many other states. The students who have graduated from her halls are coming into prominence in every vocation of life. Among
them are included senators, prominent lawyers, professors and educators.
But these are not the only ones who are making the reputation of our University. In no institution in this country can be found a more energetic, fostering and progressive corps of instructors than here. No labors are too arduous for them when the wellfare of the University and students are in question.
But even here their work does not cease. Beyond this boundary their labors are bearing fruit. Chancellor Snow has been the means of saving millions of dollars to the farmers through his discovery of "the chinch-bug exterminator."
All these facts are known. The ability of our professors is telling. Increasing numbers of students are crowding the halls of the University each year. As a result of all this we have outgrown our present quarters. Something must be done else our continued growth will be dwarfed. More room is imperative.
It is to be hoped that the honorable body now in session at Topeka will look into this matter and aid the University in its onward progress by timely appropriations, and thus give further impetus to the growth and enlargement of an institution of which all Kansas is proud and many other state institutions envious.
To the Courier:
As the time for examinations approaches the much worn and thread bare question assumes prominence
Should the system be abolished? Enough words have been written in answer to this question to fill many volumes, yet the question seems unanswered. What, after all does that ponderous recording volume signify which is enthroned in all its majesty in the sanctum of the recorder's office? Are its grades a true criterion of a student's ability, of his mental calibre? If so why is it that so many grade "two" students make a perfect success in life, while the grade "ones" look on and wonder?
Why? Because the former has a more rounded education; he is better balanced, and the balanced student is the true student. To be a grade one student it is necessary to attend to your studies to the exclusion of outside reading, as well cut off intercourse with the college world in general.
A knowledge of books is all right, and, indeed, very necessary; but to make it practical and beneficial something more is necessary. That something is what the book worm lacks, and is only attained by cultivating the acquaintance of fellow
students, whether it be in the dancing room, in the parlor, upon the base ball field, or in the college halls.
But says this book worm. I have no time to attend to anything but my studies, my books. Well that may be, and as a reward grade "one" will be yours; but, remember, when your college days are over, grade "one," without a few necessary corollaries will not buy bread and butter.
The ability to solve problems in trigonometry or parse a Greek verb will not make friends nor purchase success.
The book worm, to be sure, gets the best grades, and why not? But in the meantime while he is thumbing his books the wide awake and balanced student, who, in after life, is the man who "gets there" is browsing around acquiring a knowl edge, not only of men in books, but of men out of books.
The latter knowledge is the key which unlocks the door to success when it becomes neces sary to apply what little learning one has. It is because of its lack, so many grade one students make failures.
Let the grading system be entirely abolished. Because a student gets good grades is no sign he is a thinker, in fact in most cases it is a sign that he or she has "boned," and in consequence has a superficial knowledge, skin deep.
Open the doors of the class room, put the student upon his own merits. If he is at school to work, he will work; if not, you can't make him, by enforcing pernicious final examinations upon him. But, as long as the grading system lasts, and as long as a student has pride, just that long will he persist in骨ering and depending upon a knowledge acquired in a few hours to carry him through. This is not true of all, but of many, it is.
It is not always the highest developed student who receives the best grade, rather the opposite. The one who does outside reading, who is active in literary societies, who takes part in college publications, in the glee club, athletics, in contests; it is he who is the all around man, and the successful man. Of course he does this outside work at a sacrifice of time and in consequence gets poor grades, but is none the less as well, and better prepared to face the problem of life, which we all must face, and that better then the book worm.
After all, what is the sequel of a college education, but to make life easier and better prepare one self to enjoy it and solve its intricate questions of every day life with greater ease! A STUDENT

ABOUT THE CONTEST.
The judges on delivery and on thought and composition for the contest on the evening of the 27th have been chosen. They are, on delivery:
Rev. Ayers.
Meserve.
Judge Horton.
On thought and composition
Woodward.
Russell.
S. M. Riggs.
The orators are well pleased with the judges, and they have reasons to be. No better class or set of men could have been selected, and unquestionably their decisions will be fair if ability can be a fair judge.
The orators will speak in the following order:
Lutz.
MacKinnon.
Lutz evidently has a claim on first place, as he spoke first last year.
Lease.
Bennett.
Riddle.
Cook.
The committee is making strenuous efforts to make the coming contest entertaining so far as it is in their power. The best of music will be hired for the occasion. More interest is being manifested by the student body as the evening of the contest approaches.
The next issue of the Courier will contain full accounts of the contest and results.
A larger crowd is expected to be in attendance than last year, which is saying a great deal.
HITORICAL SEMINARY.
Judge Humphrey delivered a very interesting lecture last Friday afternoon before the Historical Seminary, on the relations of political economy to the questions of the day.
The silver question and the question of the tariff were discussed from the point of each of the political parties. As for protection, the democratic platform denounces republican protection as a fraud. The federal government has no power to impose or collect taxes except for the purpose of revenue. The republican platform reaffirms the doctrine of protection, and attributes to it the prosperity of the country. Witness the difference in wages abroad and at home. The prohibition party believes in a retaliatory tariff.
Taking up the question of currency, the Judge said; "The intrinsic and exchangable value of the dollar is dependant on the market value of gold and silver. Opposed to this is the belief that the government determines the value—an old superstition that still dominates the minds of many persons, for which there is no reason. All exchanging values are the product of labor; they are determined by the cost of production. If the purchasing power of the metals diminishes, mining in the least, productive mines will stop. If, on the other hand, the supply decreases, prices rise, and thus an equality is maintained.
The effect of legislation in Europe and the United States regarding silver has been to produce a slight decline in the market price of silver; but the decline is mainly due to the too rapid production of silver and the decline in the exchangeable value.
The purpose and effect of the tariff is to restrict foreign trade. Domestic products are paid for in foreign commodities. The prices of products at home depend upon the market abroad. By thus striking down the prosperity of the farmer at home, you strike a blow at every laborer in the country. England has made
The principal of the tariff is that a tariff is necessary to pay the difference between wages at home and abroad. This is not true. Wages have advanced fifty per cent, since the adoption of free trade. Wages are least in those countries where protection is highest. The ultimate effect of tariff duties is to a decline in the wages of the working classes. Wages are determined by the stress of competition. Whatever will relieve competition in the labor market will tend to raise wages.
greater political and material progress within the last hundred years than in the two hundred years preceding.
Government cannot discriminate in favor of any one class at the expense of another.
It is an injurious idea that prevails in the minds of the people that the Government can regulate the prosperity or adversity of a nation. Government must rely upon the principles of political economy.
DON'T SNEER.
We pray you not to get into a habit of sneering. You may indulge this tendency until it utterly destroys the spirit of Christian gentleness and kindness in your hearts. Your neighbors are full of faults, to be sure; Your fellow-Christians fail to come up to the standard of their professions, it is true. But are these good reasons why you should become sour, censorious and malignant? What about yourself? Are you perfect? Suppose that God should judge you as rigorously as you judge other people? In that event where would you stand? Be forbearing; be magnanimous; be Christ-like. Remember that it is not easy to reach the highest levels of conduct, and do not expect of others what you fail to do in your life.—Nashville Advocate.

FACULTY RESOLUTION.
The following was passed at the meeting of the faculty Tuesday night:
Resolved, That in the adoption by the faculty at its last meeting of the regulation concerning students' organizations representing, or appearing to represent the University, there was no intention of casting reflection upon the integrity or conduct of the members of the Glee and Banjo club, which was on its annual tour at that time. The action was one of general rather than special legislation.
A TRUE STORY.
Perhaps it was last year, perhaps several years ago; that matters not. Perhaps the heroes of this story are University people, or at least were; yet that matters not, this is true.
One beautiful summer evening a boat might have been seen floating down the Kansas river near Cameron's bluff. In it were two occupants, a lady and gentleman. The conversation had lagged for some minutes, then with a sigh that broke the silence, the young man remarked: I am tired and weary of this world. Its frivolity and bubbling pleasures have no more interest for me. Really, remarked his fair companion, are you conscious of the statements you are making. Conscious? Yes, I have been thinking. I have— Down the river floated the skift. The rippling of the waters, as it struck the motionless oars, alone broke the silence. The moon rose higher and higher. Silence reigned supreme.
Again the appealing and
husky voice of the stronger sex is heard. He speaks in figurative language; but this is what he said: Miss — there is upon the stormy ocean, floating, floating, floating from each other, two boats, each with a single occupant. Further and further they drift apart. You alone have the power to bring them together. Say the word, and in the near future—Silence again reigns. The word was not spoken. They reached Dolly's, and he escorted her home. The heroine of this fable is now a "college widow." Whether she will command that the two boats be brought near together, should fortune smile upon her again, is to be seen. Perhaps she has missed the chance of her life.
UNIVERSITY DRAMATICS.
THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIAEION
WILL PRODUCE TWELFTH
NIGHT, MARCH 10 AND 11.
On Friday and Saturday, March 10 and 11, the Athletic Association will present at the Opera House, Shakespeare's great comedy 'Twelfth Night,' or "What You Will." This announcement will be hailed with delight by all University people who remembers the association's charming and artistic presentation of "A Mid Summer Night's Dream" in 1891. It is intended that this shall be the social, literary and dramatic event of the school year, and a number of the classes and fraternities are already arranging to give box parties on one of the nights. The cast will be one of the strongest, including all the well known Lawrence and University actors, and the entire production will be under the management of Miss Brown. New scenery is being painted by Rohe, and the costumes will be rich and accurate.
The association desires to clear $500, to be expended on boating, tennis courts, base ball, running track, etc.
UNFORTUNATE.
The committee of the oratorical association claim that the 27th of January has been the regular time of holding the contest for several years. Steps have been taken to postpone either the concert or the contest. As yet no agreement has been reached. So it may be that on next Friday evening the students will have their choice of two University attractions—concert and contest.
It is a very unfortunate state of affairs that the Glee club concert and oratorical contest come upon the same night. Manager Rush says that he had decided on this date some time during the middle of November, and had his printing done with this date upon the posters. He also hired the Opera House.
