THE GLEE AND BANJO CLUB.
A Short Sketch of Its History and a Write-up of Its Recent Tour.
The Glee and Banjo Club, in the two years it has been an organization, has proven itself a success in every respect. The Glee Club was really first organized by Prof. Penny, in the fall of 1890, but it was not until the fall of 1891 that the Glee and Banjo Club was permanently organized and placed upon a substantial basis, with Prof. Penny as musical director of the Glee Club and Prof. Saunders as director of the Banjo Club.
The first annual tour arranged by Mr. Rush, as business manager, proved a pleasant and profitable success, and included the cities of Topeka, Manhattan, Junction City, Abilene, Salina, McPherson, Hutchinson, Newton, Peabody, and Lawrence.
Last fall the Club was reorganized with Mr. Sherman, president; Mr. Baker, secretary; and Mr. Rush, business manager and treasurer. The Club was greatly strengthened by the addition of new voices and through the assistance of Herr K. Dome Von Geza, violinist, and Mr.E.J. Young, banjoist. Profs. Penny and Saunders were retained as musical directors.
A program of superior excellence was prepared, and Mr. Rush arranged the most extensive tour ever undertaken by any university organization. Not a cent of financial backing was given the Club in an undertaking that involved an expenditure of $1,500, and resulted in advertising the University more favorably and extensively than any other venture ever undertaken. By careful management and pleasing the people with their concerts, the boys not only paid all expenses but have a handsome dividend besides.
On the recent tour, undertaken during the holidays, the Club traveled over 2,200 miles, gave twenty-seven concerts, attended an equal number of receptions, and in each city visited the highest praise from press and public. The tour included the following cities in the order named: Emporia, Peabody, Newton, Arkansas City, Winfield, Wellington, Wichita, Hutchinson, Garden City, Pueblo, Colorado Springs, Denver, Salina, Solomon City, Minneapolis, Topeka, Junction City, Abilene, Concordia, Holton, Hawiata, St. Joseph, Atchison, Leavenworth, Lawrence, Kansas City and Olathe.
A delightful account of the tour, written by Prof. Penny, appeared in the January number of the Kansas edition of the Chicago Music Review. The Professor's modesty restrained him from giving himself the credit due him for much of the musical success of the tour. The article reads as follows:
"The most successful as well as the most extensive tour of any university organization, was ended Jannary 7th, when the Glee and Banjo Club arrived in Lawrence after a four weeks trip through Kansas, Colorado and Missouri. The boys had been singing and playing every night (except Sunday) for nearly a month, appearing before full 10,000 people in Kansas alone; they had attended receptions following the concerts, given by the young people of nearly every town in which they played, and yet they were fresh for renewed study at the University on Monday morning.
The Club gave its first concert at Emporia on the evening of December 13th, playing then in Peabody, Newton, Arkansas City and Winfield. At Newton a reception was tendered by the M. C. M. Club, and at Arkansas City the boys were delightfully entertained at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Repp. At Winfield a banquet was given in honor of the Club at the Southwest Kansas College, by Mrs. President Phillips.
"The next week began at Wellington, with the high school building crowded to its utmost capacity. The usual reception followed the concert. At Wichita the boys had a small but enthusiastic audience, at the Crawford Grand, and were royally entertained by the Coronado Club in its splendid club rooms.
"Concerts at Hutchinson and Garden City followed, from which latter place sleepers were taken at midnight for Colorado. Pueblo was reached early in the morning, and in the evening the best concert of the trip was given in the finest opera house in the West. The boys felt the influence of their elegant surroundings and gave a gift edged performance, notwithstanding the limited number in the audience. The next day at Colorado Springs was the day of the trip—as mild as summer. The boys donned their college caps, and with all their "profs," including Mrs. Penny and the youngest member of the party—Vernon Kellogg Penny—enjoyed a four hours ride in open carriages to Manitou, Grand Caverna, Garden of the Gods, and other interesting localities in the vicinity. A good concert was given in the Grand Opera house in the evening, and Christmas morning found the party in Denver dis-tributed round to the various churches, enjoying the elaborate musical programs given at the Episcopal cathedral, Trinity Methodist Church, and the Unitarian Church, where a Hungarian orchestra played.
"The evening train was taken for Kansas and the next week opened with cold weather at Salina. A matinee was given at Solomon City, and a fine reception was tendered the boys at the residence of Mr. Sexton, in Minneapolis. The great triumph of the trip was the concert at Topeka before the State Teachers' Association, on Wednesday evening, December 29. The opera house was packed, and a finely rendered program was encored again and again. The Pop
ular Pansy Club of Topeka also honored the club with a dancing reception. Abilene, Junction City and Concordia, all turned out full houses, and the old year ended at the latter place with a delightful reception tendered through Mr. and Mrs. Brown, the parents of Mr. Earl Brown. A special train from Bellville brought over sixty people to the Concordia concert.
Most of the club returned to Lawrence for their New Year's dinner, and the next week opened at Holton, followed by large audiences at Hiawatha, St. Joseph, Atchison, Leavenworth, and at the Soldiers Home on Saturday evening. At Hiawatha the Club was entertained by the ladies of the Degree of Honor, of the A. O. U. W. Lodge. A special brought many people from White Cloud. At Atchison the boys were greeted by the largest audience on the trip, with the exception of Topeka, where they sang before 1,200 people.
"The financial success of the tour was due to the superior ability of the manager, Mr. J. A. Rush. In every capacity he showed himself to be just the man for the place. The violin playing of Prof. Dome was the specially artistic feature of the program, and was greatly appreciated everywhere. The popular success was the banjo selections of Mr. Young, which always brought entnusiastic encores. The Club was accompanied on nearly the entire trip by Mr. Penny, their musical director, who acted as accompanist, and by Mr. Saunders, whose excellent playing, and whose drilling of the Banjo Club assured the success of the tour from the start."
The Club gave its concert to a splendid audience at the opera house in this city Friday night, after which a reception was given the boys by the faculty and students.
The next concert is at Kansas City in the Auditorium, the finest opera house of the city, next Friday night. The K. U. Alumni Association has arranged a grand reception. The concert at Olathe next Saturday night will close the tour A concert at Lincoln, Nebraska, in April, is a possibility.

THE CONCERT.
The concert given by the Glee and Banjo Club on Friday evening last, was certainly the most successful and satisfactory University attraction of the year. A packed house greeted the boys and were they to repeat the concert, unquestionably as large a crowd would again attend.
University and Lawrence people know and appreciate good music, and judging from the encores in which they indulged Friday night, they were all more than satisfied and pleased with the entertainment.
For the want of space the COURHER can not speak of any special features of the concert. Herr. K. Dome Von Geza, the violinist can win an applause as often as he chooses. Both Clubs did themselves justice, a great improvement was noticed over last year, every movement, every song every piece rendered by either Club showed that both had been well trained, and Profs. Penny and Saunders are to be congratulated.
THE CONTEST.
After the concert Chancellor Snow addressed the audience, thanked the club for the great benefit and propitions advertisement which they had given the University by their successful tour, and also announced that the faculty and students would give them a reception, to which all were invited.
RIDDLE WINS.
Cook and Lutz Get Second and Third Place Respectively.
The Glee Club opened the program with an enjoyable rendition of "The Phantum Band," that received a hearty encore.
The tenth Oratorical Contest in University hall last night was witnessed by a large audience. There was a warm enthusiasm and generous applause for each speaker.
The president of the evening, Mr. Fullerton, then introduced Mr. Frank A. Lutz, who spoke on "The Triumph of Higher Motives," in a manner that showed careful training, and very favorably impressed his hearers. It was the best effort of Mr. Lutz's life. He said:
The history of the ages is the triumph of ideas. Man is ever looking upward. The present stage of civilization is but a step in the evolution of thought. Primeval man thought only of his immediate physical wants. Christ gave the world a new ideal. Moral terpitude declined. Christianity conquered, but not with the sword.
A cloud spread over Europe and darkened her moral and religious skies. The simple doctrines of Christ degenerated into dogma and cant. Once more we look. Behold! there stands Luther, tearing down the barriers of dogma; asserting the rights of individualism and sounding to succeeding centuries the summons to loftier and purer ideals.
The next speaker, Mr. Charles Henry Lease, was the orator on whom the attention of students and the people over the State has been especially directed, being the son of the famous Mrs. Lease. His oration on "The Jewish Race," was delivered in a full, deep, rich voice, and with a freedom of gesture that kept the close attention of his hearers and insured generous applause at its close. His delivery was, perhaps, somewhat too rapid, and his gestures rather to numerous. He began by saying that the Jewish race was the marvel of history. He traced the Jews through the lights and shadows of the past to the comparative sunlight of to-day. Touched briefly on their particular origin and their many assurances of Devine guidance. Mentioned their many characteristics to which they have so tenaciously clung through ages of buffeting and persecution. Claimed that they were the intellectual conquerors of Europe and the financial masters of the world, and ended by prophesying that soon the races would mingle together in one common brotherhood.
The vocal solo, "Protestations," by Miss Julia Titsworth, was sung in her usual faultless style, after which Mr. Fred B. McKinnon spoke on "A

"It becomes no man to nurse despair, but in the face of clenched antagonisms to follow out his worthiest desire." This was the motto of six orators who spoke in chapel Tuesday evening.
THE article in last weeks' Courier signed Student, created comment. It seems that it was a little too radical to suit a good many. However that may be, there is a large element of truth in it and this is borne out by facts and observations.
DON'T COME LATE.
It is very natural for some people, and a second nature in fact, to be slow. They are slow about getting up in the morning, slow at their work and slow to see their mistakes If gravitation did not pin them to mother earth they would in all probability be too slow to keep pace with her in her onward course around the sun. The same people at times attend an oratorical contest, and as might be expected are slow in going there, generally arriving just in time to interrupt a speaker who has hoped and prayed not to be interrupted.
Do these snails ever think of this fact that they not only insult the speaker but also the audience? If you are going to attend a contest in the future, be sure and be on time. If not, you better stay at home, as the orators can easily dispense with your presence if you insist on being late.

The present system of examination may perhaps suit those who were instrumental in establishing it, but they alone are its only friends and champions.
We have taken some care to investigate and find out what some of the most prominent students think about it, and as a result we find them dissatisfied. As one of the students said, and he is a senior, as well one of the brightest in the class; "I would rather take an examination of three hours duration and have it over with than to take it in parcels of one hour duration." If the examination system is to be continued at K. U., then give us back the old regime. It is superior to the present and does not cause the student half as much trouble and worry. However either one of the systems is a bug-bear and a millstone on the wheels of progress.
A SOCIETY EVENT.
Monday evening the spacious and beautiful residence of Mr. Henry Tisdale, on Tennessee street, was the scene of one of the most brilliant parties ever given in Lawrence. The occasion was the reception and dance given by Misses Lallie Buckingham and Mamie Tisdale. House parties are not very numerous in Lawrence, and it was with the greatest pleasure that about tno hundred guests assembled to pass a few hours in dancing, card playing and other amusements. The rooms were tastefully decorated with cut flowers and foliage, and dainty refreshments were served in the dining room.
There were many guests from out of town, among whom were Miss Bess Goodrich and Messre. Phelps and Lamon of Leavenworth; Mr. and Mrs. John Spencer, Mrs. Gould, Misses Bullene and Hastings of Kansas City, Miss Nell Dow of Olathe, Miss Penfield of Fairmont, Mr. John Nichols of Topeka, Mr. Bangs of Tonganoxie, Messrs. Deford, Dobson and Shiras of Ottawa.

[Continued from first page.] Voice of Humanity." An easy delivery was marred by a weak voice and an indistinct articulation that was made more noticeable by the noise of wind rattling at the windows. He said,
Great men, events, and epochs, seem greater to us as they become more remote in time. The latter half of the eighteenth century is one of these epochs. At this time the true brotherhood of man was first realized. Just previous to this profligacy and licentiousness had taken possession of all classes and the condition of the masses was overlooked. Nationality, and with it the national literature, had been lost. Literary men were entirely subservient to the wishes of the wealthy.
It was at this time that humanity found its champion and spokesman. He was Robert Burns. By his influence, attention was called to humanity. He realized in his own personality a new power which was to tell steadily on the world. It gave rise to that steady attempt which has never ceased from that day to this to remedy the guilt, the ignorance, the physical suffering and the social degradation of the profligate and the poor.
But has this attempt always accomplished its full purpose? Are not the majority of people still downtrodden?
But Burns did not live in vain. His voice still reminds us that a man is a man no matter how degraded he may be.
Mr. Thomas D. Bennett, in his oration on "The Future of Monarchy," spoke with an evenness and naturalness that made his friends place him high in the list of contestants.
The intermission before the appearance of the last two speakers was very acceptably filled by the University Banjo Club with the selection "Mill in the Forest," which received a hearty encore, to which the boys responded by singing "Bonebrake."
Mr. Will Hall Riddle, in his oration on "The University of Common Sense," displayed by far the most effective delivery of the evening. His perfect command of his voice and his ease of gesture suited his subject admirably. Mr. Riddle was given first place. This is a synopsis of his oratory:
Oftentimes men who have reached eminence without college training are called self-made men, to distinguish then from college men. If education is the product of that which is done by man and in him, there is no such distinction. Properly speaking, any man who is made at all is self-made.
But where have these socalled self-made men been educated? In the University of Common Sense. And what is the purpose of this University? To teach men to know what they are and what they are designed for; to know what to do, and when, where, and how to do it. We are all members of it. The practical man, the poetical man, the philosophical man are all men produced by the discipline of the University of Common Sense.
But remember that what a man does is the real test of what a man is. So long as a man enters heart and soul into playing well his part, so long can he rest assured that his work will receive that highest approbation possible—the verdict, "well done." The
world has decided whether you and I have or not, that a man may be a "long, lank, laty railsplitter" and successfully pilot the worlds greatest nation through the maelstrom of civil war. Men are in demand; men of intense and persistent thought; men of decision and determined purpose. The world needs men and is making use of them. But let us not forget that its most rigid requirement is that a man be educated in the University of Common Sense.
"The Struggle for Liberty," by Mr. Thornton Cook, was one of the finest orations of the evening, but a too rapid delivery, together with the noise of the high wind without, detracted from the effect of the presentation of his subject. Mr. Cook won second place. He received three first marks on thought and composition.
The ever recurring attempt to alter the degree and form of government are battles in the eternal war for liberty, which must be decided by circumstances of time, place, and development. For primitive races tyranny is the first step toward liberty
Nations attain greater freedom as they become ready for its various degrees. It is the gradual development of the people which has made the republic possible. But the struggle does not cease with establishment of republican forms.
The grasping avarice of classes must be thwarted, and certain popular delusions overthrown. There is the delusion that citizens are not personally responsible for the condition of government and politics, the delusion that legislation is omnipotent and majorities infallible.
When these delusions are dispelled there will always renrain the effort to bring the people to a higher life. Results may be small and disappointing, the standard of liberty may sometimes fall but each floodtide of well-directed effort raises it higher than before.

TO I——.
Can you tell me why I love you?
I'd really like to know.
'Tis not because your eyes are blue,
Your brow as white as snow,
'Tis not because you are so sweet,
'Tis not because you dress so neat,
I love you—I love you,
Why? I really do not know.
I know you are an angel,
'Iho' I know you have no wings.
I know your tongue is very sweet,
Altho' it often stings.
Your smile to me is sweetest bliss,
There's heaven's rapture in your kiss.
I love you—I love you,
Why? I really do not know.
If you e'er find out this secret,
Will you please tell me why,
I love you better than all else,
And for my love would die?
Will you tell me why you are my life?
And will you be my little wife?
I love you—I love you,
Why? I really do not know,
ENTERTAINED.
As announced in the COURIER last week, the foot ball team was entertained by Prof. Green, of the law school. The boys anticipated a good time and were not disappointed. From 6.30 to 12 o'clock p. m. good fellowship was enjoyed. At seven o'clock the boys sat down to supper and to indicate the sumptuousness of the repast it is only necessary to say that the clock struck ten before the last course was finished.
Upon the centre table were various foot ball publications with cuts of the most prominent teams and which the professor had taken great pains to gather. The publications were very interesting. After supper games, chess, checkers and cards were indulged in.
Professor and Mrs, Green spared no effort to make the evening enjoyable, and in that they certainly were successful. A better time could not have been enjoyed.
Every foot ball game played during the season was played over again. Some of the boys became somewhat excited as they related their past experience in tackling such and such a man and making such and such a play.
One game alone was deplored, but upon this they did not dwell long. The evening was for enjoyment, not to deplore past experiences, and then Prof. Green, so jolly, so wholesouled, so wrapped up in the boys and the success of the entertainment, would not for an instant let the conversation drift into those channels which would cause the boys any displeasure on account of an unfortunate game.
The evening was gloriously spent, as one of the boys said, "To spend such an evening is well worth the buffeting received during the football season." At twelve o'clock each one bid the professor and his wife a pleasant good-night and went home feeling happy.
MOOT SENATE.
There was a large attendance at the last regular meeting of the Moot Senate. Several new members were seated and a great deal of interest manifested.
