A certain Freshman, impressed with his importance as a student in the great University of Kansas, uses such language as this, "extinguishe the nocturnal lunacy."
For the benefit of freshmen it may be well to state that a college widow is a young lady who has attended college but failed to obtain a tangible result therefrom.

Now that chapel rhetoricals have been made optional, whenever anyone chooses to speak, his name should be posted on the bulletin board. A student who prefers to speak naturally wishes to have an audience, and it is very embarrassing for him to have to do his own advertising.
Professor Bailey has been conducting some experiments with arsenic. This fact should be duly noted by all students taking Freshman chemistry.
It is a current belief that college students as a rule pay more attention to athletics than to study. The recent report of the recruiting officer of the Columbian guards, however, gives a practical demonstration of the falsity of this belief. The Columbian guards were to have been chosen from college students, but more than four-fifths of the students examined were unstable to pass the required physical examination.

The Seniors of the Lawrence High School have issued a paper called the L. H.S. Budget. In addition to local matter it contains the orations, essays and debates given in their recent contest.
Sam Usher has fitted up his barn with tackling and rowing machines, wrestling mats, chest expanders, punching bags, etc., for the benefit of all students who do not play ball. The boys should take advantage of Mr Usher's kindness.
Hair-cutting is a science with Tiptop
Microscopic Photography.
Professor Haworth and Mr. Tucker have just finished nearly a hundred photographs of rocks and rock-sections. Some of them were taken from microscopic slides—a somewhat difficult operation requiring special apparatus. Microscopic photography has been but little developed in this country, yet they have succeeded remarkably well. The pictures are accurate and clear-cut reproductions of the originals.
They were taken from Missouri rocks and will be sent to the World's Fair, along with the Missouri exhibit. Professor Haworth will also use some of them to illustrate a monograph on the crystalline rocks of Missouri, which he will publish in the near future.
Prof. Blake's Discovery and Invention.
Professor Blake has been experiment ing with the telephone for some time in order to improve it if possible. His experiments have at last culminated in a discovery of great value. This discovery, however, is not one which will revolutionize society or even cause an appreciable change in the telephonic system, yet it will greatly modify the theory upon which the explanation of the action of the telephone is based, and make an important advance in the onward march of science.
His discovery is, that the sound produced by the telephone is not caused by the vibrating disc of the receiver, but results from molecular action in the cares of the coils of wire just back of the vibrating disc. This disc merely intensifies the sound. This theory being fully demonstrated, as it has been by repeated experiments, a new explanation of the action of the telephone will appear in future text books.
Professor Blake has also been at work on something of more practical importance, a loud speaking telephone. His experiments in this line also have been crowned with success. He has at last succeeded in perfecting a telephone attachment which will enable an audience to hear a lecture or concert many miles away. The first public test of this instrument will be made next Friday evening before the University extension society of Kansas City. The audience will be treated to a band concert given in St. Joseph, Mo.
A very large crowd attended the concert given last Friday night by the Mozart Symphony Club. The concert was a very good one. The flute playing of Mr. Kraushaar and the cornet solo of Mr. Hoch were excellent. The frequent encores which the club received showed that the audience was well pleased. Not one word of complaint was beard after the concert was over and this is something remarkable.
The Redpath Lecture Bureau has just written to Professor Templin that Dr. Gunsaulus has been obliged to cancel all of his engagements on account of being threatened with paralysis of the vocal organs. The Bureau offers to substitute for Dr. Gunsaulus, Major Dane, Du Cailin, Robert McLatire, Wendling, Robert Nourse or Ex Senator Ingalls. Prof. Templin, however, will make an effort to get Dr. Gunsaulus to fill his Lawrence engagement.
There will not be a better time than next week to buy your spring dress. Weaver is going to have a grand spring opening of new Dress Goods, and the lowest known prices will prevail.
Gear has been sick for several days.

"HABITS solidify into character, and those that have been condoned and indulged through childhood and youth become the frailties and yices of after life."
CAPTAIN G. M. FARNHAM, the recruiting officer of the Columbian guards says that he is compelled to turn to the general public for his guards because the college students do not fulfill requirements Not one in twenty-five applicants has shown himself fitted for the exacting duties. College men will however, be given the preference when the guides will be employed as "I take it that a good head full of general information and a strong pair of legs will be the main requisites for guides." The organization of the corps of guides will not begin until sometime after March 15. Any students by applying to Captain Farnham at Jackson Park can obtain further information:
To be able to read aloud and to enunciate clearly and correctly all words is an art so closely allied to a thorough education that all of our students should make it an especial point to master it. A few moments spent daily in reading aloud will give not only a knowledge of pronunciation, but also a confidence in one's self which may sometimes be of great service. President Lincoln read aloud to himself when trying to master some complicated question or book and c.aimed to be greatly benefited thereby. Thus he was able to make a double impression on his mind—one through sight and the other through hearing. Mrs Dewey, wife of the excellent after-dinner speaker, says of her daughters that she wishes them all to acquire the habit of reading well aloud. Try it and see if it doesn't aid you in your studies.
The fact that V. L. Kellogg has been offered an assistant professorship in Leeland*Stanford Jr.* University is another indication that we possess some very good material in our corps of instructors and that their fame is known in other states. If Mr. Kellogg should decide to accept this offer he will be able to fulfill his cherished wish to study under the direction of the famous entomologist, Prof. J. H. Comstock, and will hold a more lucrative position than Kansas University has so far given him. Mr. Kellogg is a man whom this school cannot afford to lose, and yet no one can blame him for leaving if he can thereby greatly better his condition. A young man cannot be expected to stay always with one institution, especially if that institution cannot offer him the advenience his ambition demands. This is but another indication that Kansas University must have more money at her command if she expects to keep her good talent and stay in the front ranks as an educational institution. Numerous invitations have been given to some of our professors to come to other schools to teach, and thus far our school has been quite fortunate to retain her efficient corps because of its loyalty. This cannot always exist, and sometime the people of the state will awake to the fact that we need larger appropriations.
COMMENCEMENT ORATORY.
Attempts are being made by several members of the Senior class to engage some "pleasant orator of prominence to deliver an oration, under the auspices of the class, in the coming commencement exercises. This is intended to take the place of all exercises by the class on their "class day" program. The movement is certainly indicative of a progressive spirit on the part of the class, and will be hailed with delight by visitors to our school during commencement week.
In the last few years a great change has been made with respect to graduating exercises, in the higher schools of our country. The clumsy and tedious programs of a few years ago are now found only in the smaller and more backward schools, where even the practice of orally examining the graduating students is still carried on. The tendency has been to simplify the exercises, which at best must be wearying in the hot June weather. Useless formalities have been replaced by simple class exercises, these by class orators and later, the greater part of the exercises have been superceded by the orator from abroad, who sets an example to aspiring orators without wearying his audience by tedious dissertations on subjects interesting only to the overwrought, enthusiastic college orator. Three of the leading colleges of the United States—Williams, Dartmouth and Columbia—have entirely abolished commencement exercises.
It wouldprobablynotbe the best course to pursue to dispense with all exercises,but certainly the senior class and the faculty should give their approval to this proposed innovation. It is not the intention to deprive any member of an honor, but rather better to satisfyallpersons concerned.The selectionofclassorator mustofnecessitybemaatterofchance,and evenif a competent speaker be chosen the preparation ofthe discoursemust be so hurried that it is notlikely to give satisfaction.Allmembers of the classwouldmuchratherlisten to some outsideorator,"althoughoutofrespect to theirclassmate theywouldattend the delivery.Theoratorhimselfa few monthsaftercommencementwould wish that hehad never attemptedsuch a thingwithoutbeingbetter fitted forit.

The senior class has already placed itself on record as a progressive and energetic class and should take advantage of this opportunity to benefit humanity and add new laurels to its reputation.
To possess the faculty of saying just what one means is to have a power uncommon among men. Men skilled in the world's affairs often deplore the lack of facilities, afforded them during their school days, to study thoroughly the English language, and have repeatedly advised students to put special stress on their manner of expressing opinions and ideas. A student too often aims at the acquisition of knowledge to the exclusion of training the faculty of telling his thoughts to others, so as not to be misunderstood. This should not be. The student who can tell others of what he knows will have greater success than he who knows infinitely more but can never say just what he means
In the University of Chicago each male student is required to play at foot ball for thirty minutes, three times a week. Although this is "forcing" athletics the movement is commendable because the whole school, and particularly the needy members, will profit by athletic expenditures. Our athletic board should make such arrangements that any student could devote a short time to open air physical training and still not be compelled to take too much time from his intellectual pursuits.
LITERARY DEPARTMENT
NATURE'S EPITAPH
By William Herbert Carruth.
Who knows where the grave. yad is
Where the tox and the eagle lie?
Who has seen the obsequies
Of the red deer when they die?
With death they steal away
Out of the sight of the sun,
Out of the sight of the living, they
Pay the debt and are done.
No marble marks the place;
The common forest brown
Covers them over with Quaker grace
Just where they laid them down.
But a few years, if you see
In summer a deeper green
Here and there, it is like to be
The place where their bones have been.
Thus, not more, to the poor, dead year,—
No grave, nor ghostly stone,
But a greener life and a warmer cheer
Be the only sign that he's gone
—In dependent.

Benevolence is on the increase, and it is a benevolence which does not rest contented with its own existence, but must be up and giving expression to itself in good works. There is also a tendency to scrutinize tradition closely and to declare against it fearlessly if there seems to be reason for doing so.
The benevolence and fearlessness of the times are well exemplified in the spirit of a communication recently received by several members of the senior class from an organization in Ohio. This baby, composed as the circular states, If Alumun of first-class colleges, has not only recognized one of the greatest hardships of student life, but set itself to alleviate it.
Hear this: "Colleges lay down a curriculum which students must follow or take no degree therefrom. Many a good man has been forced to quit college and thereby has been deprived of an education by the enforcement upon him of literary labors for whichevery few only are adapted. John Milton says that inclination alone will make of one a writer. There are those who are obliged to waste both mortal time and parental money in gorging a brain with knowledge as useless to its owner as was Greek to the Montezumas. A decree of faculty will never make a literary genius."
Truly this is a sad state of affairs and it is high time attention was called to it. Think of the good men who have been deprived of an education by being forced into literary labors for which they were not fitted! How dare our tyrannical college faculties fly in the face of John Milton by decreeing that we shall be literary geniuses?
But the philanthropic organization in Ohio recognizes that reforms cannot be accomplished in a day, and makes provision for our temporary relief. Rather than have us deprived of our education by the unreasonable demands of the faculty, these progressive Alumni of first class colleges offer to supply us with High School or College Orations, Essays and Debates, Sermons, Political Speeches and Lectures.
The fact that they require in return some of the parental money that the faculties are compelling us to waste might seem suspicious to a superficial observer, but any one who notices that they place the lowest price (a dollar a piece) on sermons, while charging as much as thirty dollars for a political speech, wouldn't doubt the noble intentions of these men. As long as faculties insist on our winning literary honors, we students should not only patronize this honorable institution in Ohio, but let everyone know we do, so that its fame may be spread and its founders receive the honor that is their due.
THE GRIND.
"When I was in college many years ago," said the gray-haired stranger, "the students had a very bad habit which I suppose has long since been corrected in all our universities and colleges. We called it 'skipping class', and though I dare say you never heard the expression before, you will probably be able to figure out its meaning. A number of my class mates were very sadley addicted to this had practice. I have forgotten whether I myself ever skipped class or not, but I remember very distinctly that there was one fellow who never did. He was what we called a 'grind.' The term still survives. I believe, and it is possible you may even have seen a real live grind in the course of your student experience, but I doubt it. I am told that as a class the grinds are now almost extinct in our American colleges. But at any rate this young fellow was a grind, never skipped class, and was consequently muca looked down upon by everybody, including, I have often more than half suspected, the members of the college faculty itself. For myself, I somehow took a kind of liking to the poor fellow, treated him kindly, and as a result, he made a sort of a confident of me. Indeed we even came at last to be almost friends. He was aware of his unpopularity, of course, and was thoroughly ashamed of the defects in his character which had given rise to it. He used pathetically to say to me when I was trying to point out to him some of the most glaring of these defects and suggesting remedies for them: 'It's no use. I can't help being what I am. It's just as natural for me to be a grind as it is for a fish to be a fish, or a pretty girl to be a flirt. It would do no good for me to skip class once in a while, as you suggest, in order to convince people that. I am not a grind. People are not to be deceived in any such fashion as that They would call me a hypocrite. Bad as it is to be a 'grind, it is not so bad as it is to be both a grinde and a hypocritie.'
"He was not always so meek about the matter, however. Once he gave me a list containing the names of four students—two of them young men and the other two young women—who had skipped calss the day before. Opposite each name he had written the answer to a question which he bad personally put to each one of the four in turn: 'Why did you skip class yesterday.'"
"Keep that list," said the Grind, as he handed it to me, and look at it ten years from now. In those answers you will have the keys that will unlock the history of four unsuccessful lives."
"Ten or a dozen years later, I happened to be rummaging through the treasures of my college davs, and found among them the long forgotten slip of paper containing the four names and four answers to the question: Why did you skip class yesterday?
I took the pains to look up these four people, and in the course of a few weeks I found out all I cared to know about them. Here is the result of my investigations:
"The first young man had, answered the Grind's question by saying that he had been up very late the night before at a card party, knew nothing about the lesson, and was too sleepy to attend any stupid recitation. I found him a well dressed but pale and hollow eyed dry-grooms clerk, with a salary of ten dollars per week. I was told that he was not a great success as a dry goods clerk, and was only retained in his position because his air of refined weariness interested the lady customers.
"The answer of the second young man was that he had spent the recitation hour in working up a scheme to 'down the frats' or the 'barbs' (I have forgotten which now) in the approaching athletic election I had a good deal of trouble in discovering this man's whereabouts, but I found him at last running for some township office in a rural community of southern Kansas. He had worked the community up to a high state of excitement over the election, and had succeeded in dividing the people into two very bitter factions. I learned afterwards that he was defeated by a close vote, and that in the bitterness of defeat he
declared that he was a ruined man and that he would never have anything to do with politics Nobody believed that he would carry out his threat, however, as he had been regularly defeated for some office or other at every ejection held in the community since he had been a resident of it, and had as regularly declared after each election that he had had enough of politics.
"The first young lady, in reply to the Grind's question, declared that during the recitation hour she had been busy rushing a new girl for her fraternity, club or set. (Pardon my treacherous memory, I cannot now recall which of these was the exact term she used) Her tastes had evidently undergone something of a change in maturer life, for when I found her she was the president of a high-toned philanthropical society for the suppression of something or other. But her method of procedure had not changed much since her college days, nor, apparently, her motive either, for it was said that her efforts were chiefly directed to the suppression, or rather the humiliation, of a rival philanthropical society, and that, so far as suppressing anything else was concerned, both she and her society were gilded failures.
"For a long time I could find nothing of the other young woman, and I had begun to think that she must have died soon after leaving college, when by the merest accident I discovered, greatly to my surprise, that she was the wife of the pale dry-goods clerk who had made such a signal failure of life. I say greatly to my surprise, and I will explain. This young woman's answer to the Grind's question had been: 'I skipped class because I was talking with a gentleman friend in the chapel, and forgot all about class until it was too late.' The gentleman friend was a dry-goods clerk, and how either of them could ever have married the other after an acquaintance in college life of more than four years was a marvel beyond my comprehension.
"Suchl" concluded the gray haired stranger, "is the story of four college students who had a habit of skipping class. I leave you to say whether the Grind was right in the bitter and half-prophetic remarks which he made as he handed me the slip of paper containing their answers to his question."
"And the Grind himself?" I asked eagerly. "Did he become one of our presidents, or only a United States senator, or p obably Judge of the Supreme Court?"
"The Grind," replied the gray haired stranger sadly, "wass for several years after leaving college a country school teacher somewhere in the great west. He was not a success as a teacher, however, and after a few years of drudgery and failure he died of brain fever in a little western village whose name I have forgotten." R.D.O.
As the days begin to lengthen that Adams street hill seems to follow suit and it is almost endless when one starts to climb it. Young people, it is not the hill but the "tired feeling" you hear of. A 50 cent bottle of Raymond's Peruvian Bark and Iron will be the tonic to make the hill climbing easy.
Have you a stomach? How do you know? It aches sometimes after dinner. Take one of Raymond's Liver and Dyspepsia granules and you will forget the stomach.

ANYONE who, upon preparing to leave the University buildings has found his hat or gloves or rubbbers or umbrella or all together, missive on the coldest or muddiest or rainiest night of the whole year, and has had to slide and wade down hill through the mud and slush barehead, barcheded or bareshored or all at once, knows how enjoyable the experience is. The writer has lost one pair of gloves and two pairs of rubbers already this winter. He calculates that with reasonably good luck he will have to get only about six pew pairs for the rest of the term. Others may have fared worse.
e.
Now the University could prevent this confusion of *meum* and *teum*, by placing in the halls rows of lock boxes, each large enough at least to hold one's hat, gloves, rubbers, and umbrella, fitted with keys not easily duplicated. Only four hundred at all he most would at present be needed. A small fee could be charged for the use of these boxes, if necessary. This arrangement would also prevent the unseemly throwing of rubbers about the hall. S
There seems to be a disposition on the part of some students to find fault with anything and everything in correction with the University. It is not surprising that the Music School is not exempt from such criticism, deficient as it is in equipment and resources. But when the Dean of the Department is charged with willfully neglecting the regular students for mercenary ends, the fault finding has been carried altogether too far.
The truth of the matter is the Dean of the Music School is doing more than double duty. His work as Dean is enough for one man to do and live as man ought to live. But besides this he is professor of vocal music. This work should have the undivided attention of one person. Burdened as the Dead is with overwork, and using his time to offer to the students and citizens opportunities for education and reinforcement such as the Art Exhibit last week, it can easily be seen how classes are sometimes delayed and lessons interfered with. But those who consider what the School is, compared with what it was, and what it is now doing with its incomplete equipment certainly should not complain. C.
The sidewalk in front of Judge Bassett's house is in a very bad condition. The walk is well known to students living in the northern part of town. The long boards are w ripped out of shape and in wet weather splash mud and water upon the passerby. If Judge Bassett is not willing on his own account to fix the walk, the city should compel him to fix it. M.

KODAK SHOTS
"Good morning, have you used Pearls soap?" exclaimed the professor to the young man as he woke up at the end of the lecture.
It required an hour's work in the laboratory the other morning to take a nitrate of silver stain from the wrist of a young lady who had been initiated into a fraternity the night before.
The annual "barb" dance promises to become u semi-annual or even a semi weekly affair in the future
It must be said in explanation of the quality of our items that the "Kodak" editor was "Shot" this week. According to the sophomore logicians a half column would signify that the editor was "half-shot;" such are the devilows ways of the syllogism.
A quantity of commercial beer was given the chemistry department to test for impurities. The professor had explained a few days before that the best proof of a chemist's experience is his ability to detect elements and compounds by taste. This method was employed by those in charge and explains the report returned: "Not enough of the original solution to make a satisfactory test."
The point of order, that the speakers are not confining themselves to the question for debate, should be overruled for the entire evening by Adelphic. Friday night. The speakers could not well get off the subject, as there are no less than five questions involved in it.
It will be of interest to German students to know that, according to the visitors' register, Minna Von Barnhelm was on the hill February 11th, and Nathan der Weise made a short call the afternoon of the 23rd. Although he has not registered, it is well known that Mephestipheles has been around the hallways for several days.
There are some Kansas students, in academies which aspire to be called universities, who part their names in the middle. More than this, several expect to enter the University next fall. The University prides itself on having no names in which the front letter is used as a sort of cow-catcher, or which trail a freight train of cheap degrees after them. These bachelors of "letters," furthermore, are obsolete. If we must suffer from the name—contortionist, let us have some hyphenated Smythe-Browns, or—but we won't suggest any more. Wait for announcements from the senior class.
"How-ah-u, Hawaii!" exclaimed an ex-University boy who had entered the journalistic field in Kansas. "Very well, thank you," was the dignified re buke of a native editor of the Sandwich Islands. It must be said in justification of the English department of the University, the society of Lawrence, and of Kansas, that the alumnus mentioned above, acquired his affected pronunciation while sojourning in New England; it would not be tolerated by the faculty. The doors of the University are still open to honest young men desiring an education. Exchanges please copy.
College widow to sophomore on being introduced: The name again, please? Sophomore: Smith, James Smith.
Sophomore: Smith, James Smith.
C. W.: Smith! Oh, yes, I've often heard of that man Smith and I've often seen you, but I never could bring the two together.
Soph: Ah-I didn't quite get your name please?
C. W.: Harris.
Soph. Oh! is that so? I have often heard of that man Harris and I've often seen you, but somehow, I never could bring the two together.
Persons in the vicinity of the University on the afternoons when the Freshmen chemistry class has laboratory practice might easily be led to believe that a bombardment is taking place in the chemistry building, so frequent are the explosions.
Pure linen handkerchief's 25 cents a Abe Lye's sale.
Phi Beta Kappa.
A mistake was made last week in saying that special attention is paid to grades in English when Phi Beta Kappa appointments are made. Grades in mathematics, chemistry or any other department of study are just as important as those in English. Again, appointments do not depend upon scholarship alone. Although students having low grades are not appointed, the students having the highest grades are not necessarily the ones chosen.
The Blake Prizes
Owing to the lack of interest in the matter, and the small number of those eligible as competitors, it is judged advisable by the Department of English to postpone the contest for the prizes, so kindly offered by Professor Blake until the present optional system of chapel rhetoricals has been in force for at least one term.
The sole object for which the prizes were offered by Professor Blake was to increase the interest in public speaking, and to induce a greater number of students to give careful attention to it. This object has so evidently not been attained that it seems unjust to him and even unwise to carry out the plan as originally announced. The Department of English has therefore deceded to defer all action with regard to it for the present, trusting that at an early day a special instructor in oratory may be secured, and that with special instruction and under the optional system, sufficient interest may be taken in the subject by the student body to justify the department in accepting the very liberal proposition of Professor Blake.
The Adelphic will have an interesting meeting tomorrow night. The following
is the program.

At the Kansas Methodist Conference in Baldwin athletics received considerable attention. The statement, "Resolved, that inter-collegiate athletics are detrimental to school," was introduced, and after some discussion adopted almost unanimously—not however, without an emphatic protest from Dr. Quayle. Dr. Quayle thinks that this will eventually do away with Baker's participation in Triangular League athletics. Yet, if the board of trustees of Baker University, which meets in June, does not condemn inter collegiate athletes Baker will not withdraw from the league.
One of the ministers at the Methodist Conference at Baldwin, when the right of the Conference to act on the foot ball resolution was questioned, said that the Conference had a right to act upon all moral questions and therefore might act upon foot ball.

The Rev. Edward Everett Hale in his oration on Washington said: "He was born to small opportunities; he made them great. He was educated with comparatively small advantages; he made them the first of advantages. He was brought up among simple people. He learned among the simple people the way in which to dictate to kings and to handle
generals. As he was faithful in the little, he was successful in the the great. And this is the American school of diplomacy, statesmanship, and of war."

GOVERNOR RUSSELL, of Massachusetts, who is spoken of as a splendid orator for the Senior class day program, is a young man of more than ordinary ability as is shown by his success in twice securing gubernatorial honors, although his opponent represented the political party which almost always carries the state. As an orator he is said to be polished, pleasing, and of the year 1893
On Monday the House of Representatives in committee of the whole passed the bill giving the University $70,000 for building and $25,000 for sundry expenses. The bill was easily passed, and the feeling is that the senate will act favorably on it sometime today. The enormous growth of the University has made this increase necessary and the JOURNAL is pleased to see that our legislators take such an interest in state educational matters.
The large attendance at chapel exercises on Tuesday morning shows that when something of interest to students is to be said and is properly announced, they will be there. This should be of interest to the faculty as indicating that if chapel attendance is desired the exercises must be so conducted that students cannot remain away. Many of the students have expressed their desire to spend a half-hour in restful change from exacting wo-k, but complained that the chapel exercises do not rest them. More attention should be given to the manner of conducting these exercises, that the chapel at our alma mater may keep abreast of the progress in other departments.
The telephone experiments by Prof. Blake at Kansas City as announced by the Journal last week have proved to be very successful. The professor had a large audience which, after the lecture, was treated to a musical feat with the musicians nearly one hundred miles away. All numbers on the program rendered in St. Joseph, Mo., were distinctly heard by the Kansas City audience and the St. Joseph musicians also distinctly heard the applause of their audience through the telephone. The loud speaking telephone attachment, upon which Prof. Blake has been experimenting for some time, was thus proved entirely practicable. Everybody was pleased with the novelty of the entertainment, and scientists speak well of the new attachment. This was the first attempt in the west to use a long distance telephone and Prof. Blake deserves great credit for his enterprise.
As announced in another column of the JOURNAL, a beginning has been made in our school of awarding scholarships. Mr. Jacobs was an enthusiastic student of Prof. Sayre, when the professor was a tutor in Philadelphia, and is anxious to further the cause of systematic instruction in pharmacy. The intention is to create a permanent fund which will furnish scholarships under the direction of Prof. Sayre. The scholarship is to be given with the promise that the student will repay the amount to the fund as soon as he is able to earn it. Although Mr. Jacobs is a comparatively young man, he feels that the time to give aid to education is while he can yet watch its effects. The University may congratulate itself on the fact that the ice has been broken and may feel sure that, now that the example has been set, new scholarships will follow for other departments. No doubt many are ready to give such aid who have never before thought of it.
OUR STUDY WINDOW.
THE OLD WINDMILL.
(Written for the FHNKRW millwright,
Ot I've heard of the old windmill;
I'll keep it quiet, and its arms making
A black cross 'gainst sunset skies.
It has looked on the spring flowers,
Gazed upon the traces snow,
It has waved its arme in wild deepair:
At the coming of the foe.
It has seen the town in ashes,
Wrapped in a wrapping sheet of flame;
Seen twice, like tabled bird, arising
A fat city once again.
May the evening star watch over it,
May no sword of watch sitlady,
May it guard, like faithful sentinel
The town for many a day.

To the literary editor of the Students Journal

To the literary editor of the Students Journal:
Mr. W. D. Howells, in his "April
Hopes" makes the following assertion:
"The mind of a man is the court of final
appeal for the wisest woman. Till some
man has pronounced upon their wisdom,
they do not know whether it is wisdom
or not."
I should like to ask what could have been Mr. Howell's intention in saying such a thing as that? Did he really mean what he said, or did he have some special purpose in making the assertion?
M. E. H.
In the opinion of the literary editor Mr. Howells really meant what he said. The women he shows us do not generally possess independence, or even thoughtfulness, and when he does give a feminine character either of these dangerous qualities he may be expected to plunge her so deeply into trouble and love that she will sincerely repent having tried to have any existence of her own, and will ever after submit all points of doubt to the "court of final appeal."
We in the west, and especially we of the co-educational schools do not know what to make of some authors' views of women. Philip Gilbert Hammerton's statement that women never follow the intellectual life unless led to it and through it by men, takes our breath away, and we ponder over Mr. Howell's assertions and can't account for them.
By the way, if the literary editor may be allowed a question in turn, what does Mr. Howells mean by giving us such a young woman as Peace Hughes? She seems independent and thoughtful and decidedly inclined to rely on her own judgment. In spite of all this she is not represented as belonging to the genus crank. Isn't she rather off-color?
VALUABLE RELICS.
** **
The great University of Kansas has not passed through its twenty-five years of existence without valuable results. One has only to go on an exploring expedition about the University to find many interesting things. In Professor Blackmar's room, for instance two relics of great value are kept. These are two tables which, it has been recently discovered, were found in the mounds of the ancient Mound-builders, and which are believed to have been carved and decorated by prehistoric Indians.
The markings, indeed, which may be seen upon them could hardly have been carved by any others than the Mound-builders. Here on one of them are curious hieroglyphics, Phi Kappa Paies and Beta Theta Pies, characters so old that they are all covered with moss. There "Shylock and Justice" appears, a theme which must have been developed almost at the beginning of time. (The "Struggle for Liberty" does not seem to have been begun in ancient times, as it is not here represented.)
At another place, a large and imposing "barb" appears; which shows conclusively that "barbarians" existed in prehistoric times. Our imagination immediately carries us back to the time when a wide mediterranean sea of buffalo grass occupied the whole of sunny Kansas; when little "barbs," the remote ancestors of the present "Independents," roamed the plains unscared.
Yonder an Indian kicking a foot ball
is carved. This simple representation is of untold value to science. It proves beyond the shadow of a doubt, that foot ball did not, as currently believed, originate in England, but was one of the intellectual pastimes of pre-historic men. (It also throws a flood of light upon another obscure but important point—the intellectual development of the persons who made these carvings.) Again, with the assistance of a good imagination a conclusion of the utmost importance can be drawn from this carving. The little foot ball, if observed in the proper light, clearly demonstrates the existence of colleges and universities in pre-historic times.
But why attempt to describe that which exceeds all description? The tables are accessible to all and are able to speak for themselves. If they are once seen they will always be remembered. ___ W. W. R.
Prof. Carruth has been giving a series of talks in chapel this week. On Tuesday his talk was on fraternities and the large attendance showed the interest which the students feel in the subject. He said that while fraternities certainly can and do much good by bringing students together and giving them opportunities for the formation of lasting friendships, care should be taken by the fraternity members that they do not become too exclusive and acquire a feeling of superiority to other students, or seek to gain honors for their fellow members simply because they are members. He said that a student's joining a fraternity before he has been in school for at least a year indicates cowardice both on the part of the student and of the fraternity. The fraternites have undoubtedly caused an undue increase in the cost of living in the University, and also in the number of parties with late hours; but while deprecating this, the non-fraternity students should be careful not to fall into the same errors as the fraternity students. On Wednesday he spoke on Intra-mural Manners. The advice which he gave was forcible and well put and should awaken the students to a sense of their short-comings, especially "the sitters and spitters on the stairs."
Another of our students has been attacked with the Columbian Guard fever. Wilbur Kinzie left yesterday for Chicago to make application for entrance into the Columbian Guards. This ends his connection with the University' Next year he will probably study law at Cornell. ___

THE BLAKE PRIZES.
e.
All who are interested in the encouragement of oratory in the University will certainly commend the action of the Department of English with regard the Blake Prizes. A few students (only a few, it is true) were induced last term by the prospect of a twenty-five dollar prize to prepare comparatively creditable orations. With regard to these students, the object for which the prizes were offered has already been attained, and it would be manifest foolishness now to permit them to contest for the prizes, when, by postponing the contest until next fall, or if not sufficient interest is manifested by that time, until next Christmas, or even later, a much greater number of students may be induced to make an effort to secure them and thus the standard of oratory may be raised from its present low state in the University. Indeed it would be difficult to conceive of a more effective method of promoting oratory in the University than that which, it would seem, has been adopted by the Eglish Department. Had they determined to carry out the plan as originally announced, the prizes so kindly offered by Prof. Blake could not have been used for all they were worth, whereas by holding out this tempting bait again and again, many a brilliant student may be caught and safely landed upon the oratorial platform, without the fisherman's ever being obliged to rebait his hook.
After these considerations, it would be manifestly out of place to enter a plea for those poor unfortunates who prepared good orations last term and who had great hopes of winning the prize, but who now find their hopes blasted in the bud. Equally out of place would it be to ask where the Seniors will be if the contest is put off till next fall. The importance of encouraging oratory in the University is of too great moment to admit of the consideration of personal rights and privileges.
It might be well however to ask a few questions in behalf of those who may be disposed to compete for the prizes in the future. First, what constitutes eligibility? The Department says that the contest is postponed "owing to the lack of interest in the matter, and the small number of those eligibles a competitors." The writer was not aware that any condition of eligibility was stated, in the plan as originally announced except that there be ten speakers in each class. Second, how great an "interest in the matter" will be necessary to warrant the Department in carrying out the plan as now announced? Third, is the contest to be posted until a "special
instructor in oratory may be secured"?
If so, what hopes can the department give that such an instructor will be appointed "in the near future" X
A. KICK.
The library is supposed to be for the use of students in general and not for a few, and the librarians try to keep it go. Yet their efforts as far as papers are concerned, are impeded by a few selfish students, who seem to think that the world was made for themselves alone. These students, when they see an article that strikes their fancy, clip it out regardless of future readers, and thus spoil an entire paper. Some of the papers look as if they had gone through the hands of an exchange editor before they have been on the rack an hour. This remedy can not be remedied by any but the article clippers themselves and if they were gentlemen they would do so.
KICKER.
In withholding the Blake prize until greater interest is manifested in chapel rhetoricals does the English Department contemplate adding the interest on this money to the principal, thus making the prize more valuable as the years go by? This money if judiciously invested at the legal rate of interest would double itself in fourteen years. By that time interest in chapel oratory would doubtless be greatly increased. &
The following severe criticism upon the young men of Lawrence was written by a girl in the Advanced English class. As the Pointer was going to press yesterday afternoon, news was received that Miss Artiqua Walker had fainted on Massachusetts street and had been carried into a drug store where she was with difficulty revived. The following particulars were learned today: As Miss Walker was coming out of a dry goods store she met a gentleman friend who offered to carry ten of her packages. She accepted this offer without evincing the surprise she felt. At the Eldridge House she met another gentleman who lifted his hat in acknowledgment of her smile of recognition. This act of courtesy (with which no tady in Lawrence had ever before been favored) in addition to having her packages carried, was more than Miss Walker could stand—she fainted in the arms of her companion. It is hoped that she will recover.
H. M. Atherton, the photographer who took the University pictures, has taken photographs of the majority of the state institutions, denominational colleges and public schools of Kansas. Many of these pictures will appear in the Kansas exhibit at the World's Fair.

Language Conference.
The Language Conference met last Thursday at the usual hour. An excellent paper on Iago was read by Mr.H. O. Kruse This noted character was well described by him. "From the moment," he said, "when Iago is introduced as a parasite upon the fortunes of the simple he-minded Rodrigo, to the end of the play where intense hatred and stubbornness of will cause him to say 'From this time forth I never will speak word' he is the same consistent villain, who gifted with quick and accurate perception, clearness of reasoning and an admirable use of language puts all his powers to some bad use."
Then he proceeded to describe the successful villain. He must have a perfect knowledge of human nature in all its various aspects and must be clever and cunning, and quick-witted enough to turn even a miscarriage of his plans to his advantage. We should not judge nim too harshly. We should not measure him by our own ideas of religion, morality and justice for a change in these brings on a change in the verdict. To Iago there was no true religion and hence no future recompense or punishment. Morality was likewise but an empty name to him. Then too, he thought he had some cause for revenge upon the more important persons about him. He believed that he had been slighted, that Othello had not shown him due consideration. Moreover he did not at first wish to do all the mischief he accomplished, but having begun, one crime brought forth another.
The next paper was by Miss Thoburn on the character of Otello, the Moore. We cannot help but feel a vein of sympathy for this great and simple-hearted man however wrong his actions may have been and we are forced to believe that he acted in accordance with his views of right and wrong; that he was strictly consistent with his highest conceptions of honor and uprightness.
Crazed by the villianous Iago, "not casily jealous, but being wrought perplexed to the extreme" he committed the horrible deed,—"by his own hand threw a pearl away richer than all his tribe."
After the papers had been discussed, it was found that the time was up and by motion of Prof. Hopkins it was decided to postpone the rest of the program, a lecture by Dr. Wilcox on Bible Parallelis to Homer, until the next meeting and then the Conference adjourned. F. J. LANGE.

The fact that the successful orator in our local oratorial contest has not represented Kansas in the inter-state contest for the past six years is sufficient evidence that the subject of oratory is not receiving proper attention in the University-Review.
The Review for February has a good editorial on the present method of selecting orators for our local contests. It says that the present method, which proceeds upon the basis of Thought and Composition alone, "works a great injustice to those who excel in oratorical ability; but who are weak in composition. The real orator is often shut out of the contest while the student who has talent as a writer is given a place. When we listen to the discourse of an orator it is not always what he says that impresses us most, but how he says it."

The bill for general appropriation for expenses which was recommended for passage in the House committee of the whole Monday night sets apart $5,000 for conducting a geological survey of the state. $1,000 for conducting work in University extension. $5,000 for apparatus for the department of physics and electrical engineering, $10,000 for books for the library, $2,500 for additions to the natural history museum and $1,000 for supplies for the chemistry department. The committee recommended the passage of the bill appropriating $50,000 for the erection and equipment of a physics and engineering building, $20,000 for an addition to the chemistry and pharmacy building, $15,000 for electrical engineering shops and $5,000 for economic experiments on injurious insects. Already the Spooner bequest has been appropriated for a library building and Chancellor's residence. The professors are smiling, the students laughing; the whole atmosphere of the University is one of glee.

All students who do not have classes at the above named hours, are invited to attend one or both of these lectures. No one should be in the University long without knowing something about the Classical Museum as it contains accurate reproductions of some of the most famous works of art the world has ever seen.
Lantern Slides.
Mr. Tucker is making 200 lantern slides for Professor Wilcox. These slides are representations of Greek inscriptions, manuscripts, ground plans of buildings and Greek architecture, sculpture and painting. They will be used by Prof. Wilcox in his lectures to his classes and also in lectures which he will deliver before the Greek Symposium. Until a few years ago, lautern slides were not used in the University but now they are found in almost every department.
The Greeks.
At last week's Symposium Miss Williams read a paper on Schlieman and his excavations at Hissarlik, the supposed site of ancient Troy. Dr. Schlieman, she said, had been interested in this subject long before he went to work upon it. When but a little boy he wrote a Latin poem on Troy. In later years he married a Grecian lady, and at the age of fifty-one, began his famous philological researches. His most celebrated work is his excavations at Hissarlik. Here he found many remains which establish beyond all dispute that Hissarlik is the site of a very ancient city and Dr. Schlieman believes that it meets with nearly all the requirements of Troy as described by Homer.
It is situated on a steep hill, one hundred sixty-two feet high, surrounded by an open plain, and so near to the sea that a besieging army could easily reure to their ships at night. The plain is watered by two rivers, corresponding to the Scamander and Simiols. Between the city and the sea, there is the depression mentioned by Homer, and at three hundredpaces from the city, closed in by heavy masonry is the spring of cool water.
Dr. Wilcox said, however, that neither Hissarlik nor any other site meets with all the requirements of the Homeric city. Bounarbaschi in the same region, eight miles from the sea, was believed by many to be the site of Troy, but the opinion now is that Hissarlik is the real site and that Homer gave it some of the features of Bounarbaschi. If the two sites are combined the conditions mentioned by Homer are fulfilled.
The Unty club, of Lawrence, will present Howell's Unexpected Guests at Topoka tomorrow night. The following will take part in the presentation:Mr. and Mrs. Carruth, Mrs. Brooks, Misses Howland, Sutill, Mame Berry, McFarland, Menet, and Messrs. Sears, Krehbiel John Whitman, Tracy Learnard, Bessey and Griffin.
The Chemical Department has just received a two volume edition of Mendeleeff's Principles of Chemistry. The works of Mendeleeff, the Russian chemist, are in great demand.

The University must have scholarships and endowments before it can perform its highest mission. ___
WELL intending people are attempting to bring athletics into disrepute at Baker. But these good people should remember that muscular preachers are worth more than enervated dyspepties.
Those ambitions to excel in oratory should do work in literary societies. The school which has taken most of the interstate prizes, has had no instructor in elocution, but its students have practised in literary societies.
LAST year the Alumni Association appointed committee to procure scolarships for our University. Since its appointment the committee has not been heard from. Whether strayed or stolen, a liberal reward will be paid for its recovery
TRAINING in elocution never made an orator, and never will. Orators can not be made, they must grow. Frequent public speaking, extemporaneous debates and discussions, are worth more in orator-making than all the trainers in existence.
The managers of the World's Fair should charge wearers of crinoline larger admission fees than others have to pay; it is manifestly unjust to charge a woman the same fee as a man, and then allow her and her crinoline to occupy twelve times the space that the man occupies.
We are often told that modern students must make specialities of some particular lines of work; and when we look around us, accordingly, we see the professional athlete, the professional book worm, the professional politician, the professional dancer, the professional tailor's dummy. Civilization moves on apace.
STUDENTS and faculty alike should use the communication column oftener than they do. If one has a truth or a suggestion not generally known, he ought to make it public; if it is good he will be conferring a benefit upon his fellows; if his suggestion is evil he will be conferring a benefit himself, for he will be set right. A free communication of ideas insures advancement and success for the individuals and for the community. All questions and all phases of all questions ought to have a hearing.
THE Lotus Glee Club will be here Saturday evening. Everybody should attend, for two reasons; the club is popular and musical, and the friends of the University should show their appreciation of the good work of the Lecture Bureau. While all members of the race of complaining mortals are not, and cannot be, satisfied with the efforts of the Bureau, yet the fact remains that the present Bvreau is giving better satisfaction than any previous one ever did, and it deserves encouragement.
UNIVERSITY FINANCES AND PROSPECTS.
The Topeca Capital reports a yearly appropriation of $1,000 for chemistry supplies; $1,500 for addition to the natural history museum; $2,500 for library uses; $5,000 for the physical and electrical engineering department. In addition to this, $1,500 has been appropriated to purchase a new boiler; and $50,000 for the erection and equipment of a physics and engineering building; $1,600 of interest accumulated on the endowment fund has been released and may now be used by the University, and permission has also been given the regents to use the 290,000 Spooner estate in erecting a library building and a house for the chancellor. Thus during the next two years the University will have at its command $242,500, of which $136,500 is paid by the state, $16,000 from' the' endowment fund, and $90,000 by the Spooner donation.
The state is paying very little more than is derived from other sources. It can encourage private endowments and donations by dealing liberally with the University, and it is sound business policy to do so. Every dollar given to the University is a dollar given to the state.
Yet with the present happy prospect before us, this is no time for complaining; rather it is a time for rejoicing. The University has a good name; and, though it has considerable less money than several of the state universities, it is better provided for than usual; and it has the first essential of an educational institution, a competent faculty and earnest students. ___
ONE of the good things said by Prof. Carruth in chapel last week is, that the faculty and students ought to be mutually sociable. The students can appreciate a certain amount of modesty on the part of the faculty; yet, if the faculty believes a greater number of years and a wider experience fits it for leadership, it must feel that it is its duty to mingle freely with the students and to take part in University organizations. By so doing it can lead the student body as a patriarch would lead his kinsmen, by intelligent suggestions. This it can never do so long as it remains in the distance, and consequently in reals ignorance of what the students are doing.
WHILE the air is full of talk about our base ball prospects and arrangements are being made for practice by those who wish positions on the nine, would it not be worth while to pay a little attention to the needs of those who are literally dying for want of physical exercise? A great deal has been said about the poor facilities offered to those who cannot endure such sports as foot ball and base ball, and yet McCook field is still without tennis courts and the tennis players are complaining.
Let those who may be disposed to think that the University has been treated with exceptional liberality bv the legislature cast at least half an eye at Missouri. A few days ago the Missouri legislature passed without objection or amendment a bill appropriating $250,000 for new buildings at the State University. "Poor old Missouri!" Would that Kansas did as well!
THE University has received much better appropriations than most people expected three months ago. No doubt much of the liberality on the part of the legislature is due to the effective discussion of University conditions in the STUDENTS JOURNAL. Every legislator read it weekly.
At last the senior class "scheme" has materialized. Instead of the usual class day proceedings,aside from the orations,a "pot latch" will be held.In addition to this,the executive committee of the class has some mysterious plan which it will not divulge until commencement The members of the committee say that this plan is entirely original and will establish a desirable precedent for succeeding graduating classes.

GRACE HIBBRAND
San Francisco, Feb. 22, 1893.
THE KANSAS SUNFLOWER.
THE REST OF THE CLASS
(A continuation of the story of the Gray-haired Niranger.)
A few days later I encountered the gray-haired stranger again. I had learned, meantime, that he had for many years discharged faithfully the duties of a certain unimportant judicial office, having most unaccountably refused to accept several higher appointments, which had been almost thrust upon him in recognition of his very uncommon ability. He was respected by every one for the rare and gracious sincerity of his life; and a sort of tempered kindliness that marked his neighborly relations made him greatly loved by his own townspeople, though they had much ado to understand what manner of man it could be that not only waited for the office to seek him, but refused to receive it when it had sought him. A certain judicial (not pedantic) tone, which had characterized his conversation long before he had come to sit upon the judge's bench, made it peculiarly fit for his friends to call him, as they always did—the judge.
"I have been thinking over what you told me the other day," said I. "and I hope you will pardon my curiosity if I ask you to tell me something of the other members of your class. Surely these were extreme cases; many of the class must have prospered, and are doubtless now living happily in the midst of contented families and comfortable homes?"
"Yes," assented the Judge, very slowly and musingly, "they were perhaps extreme cases. Many have, I believe, prospered in life, as we say. The are well-fed and well-clothed—happy, I suppose. But it has sometimes seemed to me that if there is anything in life more drearily profitless than the case of disappointed and poverty stricken wretches like that dry-goods clerk, for instance, it must be the case of sleek and satisfied—and eminently respectable—merchants, such as, I fear, a large part of our class became. At one time I thought I had found a number of honorable exceptions, when I incidentally learned of one or two old class-mates who were making names for themselves in several worthy professions. But I soon discovered my error.
"One of these, a lawyer, I found to be attorney for a very rich and unscrupulous corporation, which was enabled, chiefly by means of his shrewd advice, to violate every moral obligation that bound it, without often rendering itself liable to legal prosecution. Another, a journalist, had already won for himself 'a phenomenal success,' as his paper. The Daily Cosmos, would call it. I found, however, that the wide circulation of the paper was directly due to the bitterly aggressive partizanism of the editorial page. (it was a republican paper, if I remember correctly.) and also to the absurd—and at times indecent—sensationalism of the news columns.
"Still another, whom I had heard of occasionally as a rising young Presbyterian priest, I went one Sunday to hear. He had been a leader, I think, in the college Y. M. C. A.—not an unpleasant sort of a fellow, as I remember him. But his mind, instead of expanding and mellowing with maturer years, appeared to have contracted and hardened. His discourse was of a sort that is now, happily, much rarer than it was years ago, when I was a boy. It was one of a series of revivals at which I heard him; he dwelt with a sort of grim satisfaction on the tortures of the damned, until he had wrought his congregation up to the highest pitch of excitement. In the midst of this emotional anarchy, the preacher suddenly paused. Then, "If I could only get hold of Dr. Rriggs" he shrieked in a voice of insane passion. "I would bind him to that pillar and burn
him as black as the devil, that he might have a foretaste of the everlasting flames of hell!" Dr. Rriggs is a very able exponent of the Higher Criticism. I need not recount to you several other experiences of this sort which had the effect of convincing me that there might be worse lives even than those of the veriest Philistines."
"But," I protested, "you are drawing the picture still more darkly. I am sure there must have been at least a few young people in your class who developed into noble and unselfish men and women. There is at least yourself," I added, "if you will excuse the impartience of my saying so."
"It is not impertinent," replied the judge gravely, "only untrue." After a pause he continued;
"There was in our class a group of four or five, with whom I was rather intimately associated, who were neither 'grinds' on the one hand, nor idlers on the other. If they sometimes 'skipped class' it was for reasons satisfactory, not always perhaps to the professor concerned, but always to their own sense of right. One of these died within two years of graduating, poor fellow; he had been to England to learn something about the college settlement plan, and died of a fever contracted in the slums of East London. Another livet, and is now editor of the Pacific Magazine, a scholarly gentleman, and a strong and fearless man. The Pacific, he writes me, will be to the West what The Atlantic has been to the East. He thinks they don't quite know what to make of him out there yet, but he doesn't doubt that he will subdue them in the end."
"And were there no young women in your class?" I enquired.
"I was coming to that," said the Judge. "Yes, there were; one of them was engaged to the young man that died. She was with him in England at the time, studying carefully the workings of the settlement scheme, for she had always had a desire to do something for her unfortunate sisters of what we call the lower classes. For some time after the young man's death, all her energies seemed to be paralyzed. But she was a strong young creature, and after a few weeks of impotent grief, she appeared to draw herself together with what must have been a painful effort, and set to work again, with outward quiet. The next time you happen to go to New York'—the Judge had taken a card from his pocket-book, and he now handed it to me—"call there. There you may behold the result of one one brayee young woman's effort."
"And is this young woman lying?" I
asked.
The Judge smiled. "She is no longer young," said he, "her hair is as gray as mine; she is an old maid—she never married. If you would like to meet her, she is now visiting another excellent woman, a former classmate of us both, whom I knew very well, quite intimately, in fact. In sort," concluded the judge with a frank smile, "my wife. It would be immodest for me to praise her. But I would like to have you come to supper with me, that you may judge for yourself whether the nobility and usefulness of two or three such lives as these outweighs the impotence, the inanity, the poverty and manifold miseries of thousands."
The gray-haired Judge had begun his last sentence with a smile, but when he was done his face had assumed a strange expression of pallid gravity.
"I am not always certain," he added,
"that it does." F. M.
H. G. Landis, an E. E. student has finished drawing some plans for changes which are soon to be made in the Baptist church.

KODAK SHOTS
THE QUEEN OF SILENCE.
The air is still
    Taint, appinv, erange,
    No want to range
And it every above ill,
    Like ghosts released
    From woe
    Below
Has quickly ceased.
A sense of dread
    Three' each one creeps,
    As on she sweeps
With stethoscope tracing
    And silence broods up on
    The scene
    Serene—
    Till she is gone.
The last revision in the copy for the Annual was handed in this week. It changes the name to Bo-enial.
The tennis fiend will soon be promenading through the University in his only spring suit.
The frequenters of the library must have either a pocket furnace or a portable refrigerator with them all the time to be comfortable.
The editorial board of one of the University publications is going to organize two base ball nines among its members for practice.
The University, kodaktically speaking, will adjourn in a few days to the World's Fair grounds at Chicago. This extension movement is being conducted without the approval of the faculty.
Some students hoped it would rain last Friday night just to let the Independents show what forty-five hacks would look like rolling up to the entrance of Fraternal Aid hall.
The student who is so seldom at the University that he has to register and obtain a guide to find his classes defends himself by saying that this is not half so bad as to obtain a guide after attending classes and quizzes.
In-door and out-door contests have been arranged for; base ball and football grounds have been laid out, field day sports and boating races are on the boards, yet not a move has been made for the only game in which the girls can take part. Where are the tennis courts?
"One of the crying needs of the University just now," remarked a prominent member of the Sophomore class, "is a literal translation of Plautus. The only one that can be obtained is that in the John library, which is published in England. Some enterprising student should make a translation for use in the University."
The advertisement in various papers of a Lawrence matrimonial agency which will tell you the details of your future wife's appearance and her name, upon the receipt of a lock of your hair and fifteen cents in stamps, has been traced to a young man in the University. He earns considerable money in this way.
The Freshmen and Sophomores who are now excluded from the library proper are fondly dreaming of the time when their handsome form will adorn the stately corridors of the New Library Building. Just notice the revengeful smiles which cover their countenances while they are day-dreaming in the Reading Room.
An indoor athletic contest will be held in the rink one week from tomorrow night, primarily to develop athletes for the Triangular League field day contest, and incidentally for the benefit of the Athletic Association. The following is the list of events: Ten, fifteen and twenty vard dashes, standing and running broad and high jumps, putting the shot hitch and kick, hurdle race, half mile walk, exhibition hand ball games, (by selected teams) and wrestling matches. All students who enter any of the events will be admitted free. Admission twenty-nine cents.
The State Board of Public Works accompanies by J. G. Haskell, state architect, is on a tour visiting the state buildings. They will pay special at tention to the state institutions which received appropriations at the last session of the legislature. They are now at Emporia where a $50,000 addition to the Normal school is to be built.
The New Catalogue.
The new catalogue, although agreeing in the main with the old one, shows several important changes. A change in the requirements for admission is made. In the school of arts, of the six years of language work required, at least two must be in Latin and one in English. For the remaining years the student can offer English, French, German, Latin or Greek. The arrangement of courses has been improved. Besides indicating the option granted to freshmen and sophomores, the catalogue shows that all two fifth and three-fifth studies, with one exception, have been abolished. The exception is trigonometry three-fifths and English literature two fifths.
The catalogue itself has been reduced from one hundred and forty-eight to one hundred and twelve pages. Such statements as "elecution is good for the voice," which appeared in the old catalogue have been omitted and nothing but information concerning the University remains. The new catalogue in its reduced form contains even more information than the old one.
Commencement.
The Faculty has decided to have separate commencement exercises for the School of Arts. Usually, representatives of the various schools in the University have celebrated commencement together, but this arrangement has been changed. Each school will have separate exercises. The Faculty appointed as representatives of the School of Arts, Misses Carbin and Berry and Messrs O'Leary, Ross, Cooke, and Holmes. Prof. Sterling will deliver the Master's oration.
The University band practices every Friday evening from 7 to 10 p. m. in Music Hall. It will give a concert soon. One of its chief objects is to assist the base ball nine in winning fame. When our nine is in the lead, it will play the Star Spangler' Banner and other lively strains, but when Baker, for instance, is ahead it will play the "Dead March in Saul."

Professor Blake lectured at Kansas City last Friday night on Electro-Chemistry. About three hundred people attended the lecture. The Y. M. C. A., under whose auspices his lectures are given, have already taken in over seven hundred dollars on his lectures.
Prof. Wilcox gave a very interesting lecture on the objects in the classical museum at 11 o'clock yesterday. He will repeat the lecture next Wednesday at 12 o'clock for the benefit of those who have classes at 11. These lectures are of especial interest to those who intend to go to the World's Fair, as the architecture and sculpture of the Fair is almost wholly of classic type.
A letter was received recently by Professor Sayre from a man calling himself a "bio-chemist," asking if a certain fluid contained germs of scrofula. Professor Sayre remarked that this reminded him of a man who once sent a section of an organ of a deceased individual to a microscopist in order to ascertain the individual's name. Chemistry and Biology have made wonderful strides in the last century, but they have not yet reached the point which this demand indicates.
Fearless Fred.
At the end of this week "Fearless Fred" Funston will say a good bye to his friends—a good bye which may be a farewell. He goes from here to Alaska on an exploring expedition as special agent for the botanical division of the Department of Agriculture. From Lawrence he goes direct to Tacoma, Washington, where he will embark for Juneau, Alaska. From Juneau, accompanied by a party of miners, he will cross a field of snow and ice, by way of Chillcoot Pass, to the headwaters of the Yukon river.
After taking observations there, he will go down the Yukon to a small trading post in the British Northwest territory, just across the line from Alaska. At this trading post he will spend the coming summer. He will collect botanical specimens for the Department of Agriculture; take observations of the humidity of the atmosphere and the daily maximum and minimum temperatures; and learn something concerning the general topography of the country. At this post, in mid-summer, there are two months of perpetual day and in winter a corresponding period of night. During the winter the thermometer often registers seventy degrees below zero.
Early next spring before the ice breaks up, Mr. Funston, with only two Indians as guides, will start from this place due north to another trading post, on the Porcupine river, a tributary of the Yukon. This post is a considerable distance within in the Arctic Circle. Here he will stay for some time, taking observations similar to those taken at the preceding trading post.
And now the most perilous part of his journey begins. He leaves his Indian guides behind, and in a small boat saurs on a fifteen hundred mile trip down the Porcupine river to the Yukon, and thence down the Yukon to its mouth. The Yukon has never been completely traversed by man. Occasionally parts of it have been visited, but the entire river has never been seen. Even its course is not definitely known. Some atlasses represent it as situated in southern Alaska, while others make it flow almost wholly within the Arctic Circle. Its mouth is about the only portion of it accurately located.
The trip down the Yukon will be a most hazardous one. Mr. Funston will be floating down an unknown stream, all alone, surrounded by a wilderness whose stiltiness is broken only by an occasional growl of a bear, the wa-whoop of a hostile Indian, or the cracking of glaciers as they slowly move down the mountain side. The Yukon is the largest river emptying on the western coast of North America, and is very swift. Mr. Funston will have to be continually on the look out for rapids cr falls which may at any moment plunge him into eternity.
If he arrives safely at the mouth of the Yukon, he will be brought back to civilization by the United States revenue cutter Bear, which will be sent there to meet him, in September, 1895.
Commencement,
The faculty of the School of Pharmacy met last Monday night and arranged the program for the commencement exercises of the School. W.E Wilson will give an oration and A.W. Youngberg an essay. Besides this there will be an address on a pharmaceutical subject by an orator from abroad. The day for this program will probably be Monday of commencement week.

An indoor athletic contest is a new thing for the west, and the rink should be crowded on tomorrow night by students prepared to enjoy the first athletic feats of the year. Enthusiasm is a necessary adjunct to healthy athletics. Turn out, and aid the athletes and the association by your presence.
The fad to attend the German universities seems to have a stronger hold on American than on English students, for there are six of the former to one of the latter in attendance at those schools. Now Johnnie will probably rise and say that English schools are better than American and that the English are educated at home.
A noteworthy change in classes, as shown by the new catalogue, is the consolidation of several classes which are very closely allied; and another is that some classes will not be given the next year. This is indeed a wise arrangement, for our instructors now have too little time in which to do original work.
ARBOR DAY will soon be come and gone, and perhaps the chronicler will again be decided the pleasure of recording work done by the students of K. U. The wind swept hill about North College could be greatly beautified and that historic place made more comfortable, if a few trees kindly nurtured by aspiring Laws, were given an opportunity to grow. The University grounds which lie barren to the north of the main building surely need the friendly shelter of shade trees. The grade is established as far as the water tower, and work done there will not be disturbed in later years. It would be well for the students to make arrangements for the proper observance of the day. Try it.
In order to popularize the chapel exercises and to further oratory, a movement has been started to have students give talks at the close of the regular ular chapel exercises. This is an excellent plan for many reasons. Any student who has anything to say can there have an opportunity. A freedom will be developed among students to discuss matters in relation to the school and to themselves. Extemporaneous speaking which is so essential to a complete education, will be promoted, and students will leave their Aboa Mater, able to think while on their feet, and to benefit others by their studies and researches. Then it will not be said that "he knows but cannot tell." The timid ones will be led to indulge in chapel rhetoricals, and oratory may again be revived. Already several students have consented to take the initiatory steps, and we may soon see the regular notice on the bulletin board announcing beforehand who will speak and what he will say. A great benefit will be bestowed on the school if by this means students can be drawn from their hard work and for a short time beled to dwell upon greater thoughts of life than the strife for more knowledge.
THE action of the faculty in refusing to grant the senior petition for the abolition of the "high school" commencement exercises seems to have been prompted by small foresight and large hindsight. Our University has made such progress that we cannot afford to tamper with such petty exercises as a cross roads college would have, merely "to show off the work of the students." We must move on, and while duly considering convservatism, we must ever look to the good of the school. If the class was in favor of the new movement and no valid reasons could be given for the refusal why should our amala mater be kept so far behind her sister school? An orator of known repute would bring more people here on commencement day, and the school would be better advertised, than if a few personal friends of the orators came to admire the deliveries. If the citizens of Kansas wish to see what the University is doing for them let them look upon the bright young men and women who throng our class rooms and libraries, and then look out on the hundreds of our alumni who are wrestling for the good of the state or nation. Commencement should not be a "showing off" but a pleasant close to a year's hard work.
It is about time for our orators to be gin preparing for the Spring Oratorical Contest. It will be held on the last Friday in April. The first prize is $15, the second $10. As no admission fee will be charged much more interest will doubtless be taken in the contest this year than there was last. The hall will be crowded with those eager to estimate the chances of the orators in the regular contest next year. One or two students are known to have been preparing for the contest for some time. No one should flatter himself with the prospect of winning the contest without a determined effort. Last year the contest was undoubtedly better than the January contest of this year. Moreover the very low state to which oratory has fallen in the University will doubtless induce many who have not hitherto taken interest in oratory to enter the contest. Contestants should beware of a dark horse.
OUR STUDY WINDOW.
I belong to the composition class—
I hand my paper in.
And ever it comes back to me
With the compositions, Syn, Syn, Syn.
What a funful course is mine!
How much I'll never win.
Till some good angel sets me free
From my besetting syn.
The ordinary penances
Are here worth not a pin,
Ah, this must be, I clearly see.
The unforgettable Syn.
ORIGINAL SYN
Last evening as the editor stood looking out of the Study Window (the back one) two small boys came careering down the alley. Number One was bent half double, and hugged a suspicious looking bulge in the side of his tattered jacket. He drew up behind a sheltering ash-barrel and brought forth a bottle which he proceeded to uncork by transferring a very grimey thumb from its mouth to his own. Number Two looked on with eager interest—
*
"‘S good?' he inquired.
"Mine flast!"
"Betcher!"
"Naw yuh dont!"
"Well you drink to there," indicating a point on the bottle's surface.
After some hangling, Number One adjusted his finger on the spot he was to. "drink to;" and putting the bottle to his lips, threw back his head, and managed to convey an impression of such ecstatic happiness that Number Two became quite frantic as he watched the liquid disappear into his comrade's mouth.
"Gimme! Gimme!! Gimme!!! he demanded, in a tone of voice that even Prof. Fulton would have found it hard to classify, such a variety of emotions did it express. Number One only gulped the faster. "Yer drinkin' past," howled the other small urchin. That was efectual—with a gentleman, not even soda on the sly is placed before honor. Number One felt that his honor had been called in question, and he promptly took the bottle from his lips, and denied the statement, showing moreover, by way of disproof, that his finger was still below the level of the liquid
"Yuh, yuh sid yer finger," said Number Two. scornfully.
A very heated discussion ensued, but truth and justice finally prevailed. Number One confessed and made amends, and by the time the bottle had been honorably emptied, share by share, such an amicable state of feeling had come about, that Number Two proposed, in a highly confidential manner, that they call each other Uncle Jim and Uncle Billy. So they swore eternal friendship after their own fashion, and then suddenly realizing the dangerous proximity of the corner drug store from whose back door their treat had been "hooked." Uncle Jim and Uncle Billy set out in search of new adventures and more bottles of soda.
The conventional picture of the college-bred man will have to be changed if it is to remain even a good caricature. We are all familiar with the typical college student of the newspapers. He is something of a dandy, totally lacking in common sense and always becomes a street car driver after graduation. His most striking characteristic, however, is his inordinate conceit, his firm conviction that he knows it all; and this quality is fast disappearing from the makeup of the average college man of today. He is growing very modest and selfdistrustful.
This is exemplified in the changed attitude toward commencement exercises. Once John Henry was eager to come forward, at the end of his four years' course, and give his views of life or the character of Napoleon Bonaparte to a proud and admiring audience of relatives and friends. The proud and admiring audience is still ready to welcome him. When he says it considers him a bore, he is evidently in the wrong, for nothing packs a hall
soful as commencement exercises. But John Henry has become so conscious of his own small worth that he seriously objects to inflicting himself upon them.
Surely this is modesty! Or is it, after all? Does John Henry possibly show more conceit in assuming that people expect him to say something worth hearing than his father did in thinking people wanted to hear his crude opinions of life.
The interest in commencement exercises is personal. Parents and friends do not come to be instructed or enlightened. They want to see what four years of training has done for John Henry, whether he has any ideas, and whether he can express them. It is a requirement which it is pretty hard for him to fill, especially in his present state of self distrust, but surely it is no unreasonable one.
If our new found modesty is to be of the selfconscious sort, if it is to make us feel that unless we can write and speak as well as Depew or Lowell or Curtis we are not to make the attempt, the question will be at least debatable as to whether it is more desirable than the old conceit.
The Language Conference.
The regular meeting of the Language Conference was held in the Greek room last Thursday, March 16. In the absence of Professor Wilcox, a paper on Diction and Style by Professor Canfield was substituted for his talk on "Some Biblical Parallels to Homer." Professor Canfield's paper was a continuation of that published in the January number of the Agora.
Style is more than the dress of thought; it is the form of its individuality—the expression of it, in the truest sense of that word. It is dual in its nature, being both body and soul. Prose and poetry differ in both these elements, yet they are frequently so intermingled in each that the line between prose and poetry, if there be any, can hardly be distinguished.
Rhythm, which is ordinarily supposed to belong to poetry alone, is a very important element in prose as well. It is rhythm largely which makes prose agreeable to the ear. It must be determined by the subject as well as by the individual of the author, since it is the idea, as shaped within the mind that is to be expressed.
Euphony also plays a very considerable part in style. The sound must be suited to the sense to give the fullest expression to ideas and emotions. We might speak of a poem in the sound key of a. o, or u, according to its prevailing vowel sound.
The use of figurative illustration in style is best learned by study of the masters of such style. Homer and Shakespeare are worth more than all the rhetories in teaching style. One can not learn to use figures mechanically; he must have them woven into the very fiber of his soul. Style is the expression of the mind as actions are of the heart.
As all expression is merely the embodiment of spiritual creations, there must be clearness, precision and beauty in the mind before there can be in the expression. If a writer has within him creations of the good, the true and the beautiful, his style will hardly be faulty.
After a short discussion of this paper, Professor Carruth spoke briefly of M. Gouin's patent method of teaching languages, promising to give a more extended review at some future meeting. By this method, claimed to be new, it is said that a foreign language can be learned thoroughly in the brief space of six months. The Professor seemed to think M. Gouin's method nothing more nor less than the so-called natural method, long known to American teachers. A method for which much more has been claimed by its admirers than it has performed.

A SOUVENIR.
Tripping lightly down the street
Traverse the malloy, dainty, sweet
Copy now her way she picks;
Visions of ankles, fairy foot,
On the fresh meadow she infiltrs
She points, and frowns; what can i do?
Alas! the mud adhesive sticks.
A skip, a jump, and shels through,
But leaves a pretty overhoo.
Ah, you say, a number two?
No₂ 'twain number six!'
The silver statue of Ada Rehan at the World's Fair is worth $90,000. Some of the University boys have been speculating on the value of various portions of her anatomy.
The man who had to be out of town, and so presented his cupon for the Lotus Glee Club and drew twenty five cents, felt rather blue when told that cupons had sold for seventy-five cents apiece, and parquet seats as high as two dollars a pair.
It is not with the kindest feelings that the students have looked upon the movement to dam the Kawat Topeka. The exclusive monopoly of boat riding with which we have maintained our social supremacy over all other colleges in the State, is seriously threatened. A feud is imminent between Washburn and K. U. The University extension movement is proving especially profile in reading matter for the daily papers in Kansas and Missouri. Many columns of reports are published each week. Sunday morning the Topeka Capital had a four column report of Prof. Williston's lecture before the Topeka society.
The highest compliment yet paid to Prof. Dunlap's influence upon his classes comes from the Nineteenth Century literature class. A certain member remarked with great enthusiasm lately that he would rather flunk under Prof. Dunlap than get a "one" in other studies, so long as he could get to hear the lectures.
There is very little architectural beauty exhibited in the plans for the proposed electrical engineering building which were laid before the committee on appropriations. The artistic element should not be eliminated. A square front, with the appearance of a tenement block, can have no cultivating effect upon the student who is associated with it for four years.
The goodness and wisdom of Professor Templin are well exemplified by the care which he has taken to preserve the moral sensibilities of his students. At the top of the black board in his room he has inscribed, in large red letters, the words, bring good. However deep in the mire of sophism they may be plunged in the course of their philosophical studies, his students, with this motto ever before them, can neyer wander far from the straight and narrow path.
The young man who said the matrimonial agency was started down town for the express benefit of the college widow, has been ostracised from University society. The gentleman who declared that it did not pertain to University girls in the least, thereby leaving but one conclusion, is now being cut cold by the town girls. On such a delicate question we must fearlessly and fairly say, it is known on the inside that the agency is patronized almost exclusively by University boys and Emporia Normal School girls.
There once was a sophomore poet
Who did very well as to meter.
But all he could say was, "you know it!
You don't know, do you?"

So at last he couldn't complete her.

All who have been upon the hall on Sunday afternoon have noticed the wistfulness with which visitors to the grounds view the University buildings. Why not give them a chance to look at the museums by opening the University for visitors from, say, 2:30 to 6 o'clock p.m. Sunday? There are a great many people in the city who are at work every day in the week but Sunday, and, as the library and museums are closed then, they have no opportunity whatever to visit them. One evening last winter the writer met a young man on the hill who had taken great interest in geological studies. He had made, he said, a respectable collection of Kansas stones, and had for several years desired to examine the University collection; but as he worked regularly at a trade and as the University was never open when he was not at work, he had never had an opportunity to see it. Such people as this should be given better opportunities to become acquainted with the University. The movement for th opening of public libraries and museums on Sunday is not a new one. A large number of the public libraries are now opened on Sunday; among them is that of Topeka. Is it not time for the University to follow their example? C. S. G.
PRACTICAL ETHICS IN THE LIBRARY.
PRACTICAL ETHICS IN THE LIBRARY.
It may be possible that Kant's "Categorical Imperative" is to be found in our library—doubly neatly stowed away in the philosophy alceve, "for reference only." It certainly does not pervade the atmosphere of the library—the ethical atmosphere I mean, -for that is apparently as bad as the physical. This is a very serious charge I admit, but the sight which meets one's eyes as he enters the library will bear it out. The misleading mass of magazines and morning papers that covers the tables from one end of the reading room to the other would do more credit to some backwools batchlo's den than to a fountain of culture and taste.
But it is the ethical and not the artistic effect of such slovenly carelessness of which I wish to speak. The first affy students that enter the reading room in the morning take the daily papers and magazines from their places, but instead of returning them, leave them scattered over the room. The other five hundred students who come into the room during the day have to spend from five to ten minutes each in hunting for misplaced magazines and since students very frequently have, no more time than that to spend in reading, the unfinished article has to wait for another day. It is certainly not very pleasant to spend the few minutes one has between classes in looking for an article that has been misplaced by the criminal carelessness of somebody else. Indeed the search for a missing magazine often proves wholly fruitless or else ends by one's learning that the desired number "must we out somewhere." It has even been whispered that some professors have been seen going off with an armful of magazines which were not returned for several days or even weeks, while, lo! the poor student, had to sit meekly with folded arms to await the tardy pleasures of the powers that be. I trust this latter statement is a mistake, for, if true, it shows an utter disregard for the rights of others, and it seems to me that students have a few rights which even professors ought to respect. Now if each student were to have enough regard for others to return the paper or book to its proper place, when he is done reading it, what a blessed change it would make in the comfort of all! Why, one would save almost enough time to complete a four year's course in three years, saying nothing about the saving in temper and Angle Saxon adjectives.
LECTURE BUREAU.
The article relating to the Lecture Bureau which appeared in last week's issue of the Courier was rather an unfair treatment of the matter. Such a violent
attack could not be made with justice by the writer if he knew the facts of the case.
The article states that "while pretending that the student body was represented, only one man was elected by the students." This taken literally is true, but it is necessary that the students should elect their representatives in order to be represented in the management? "The student members of the Bureau are appointed by the Faculty committee," says the article in question. Can any one for a moment doubt the ability of a Faculty committee, selected for the purpose, to choose efficient students and at the same time representative men? Ought not such a committee to be better able to select men of ability than the mass of students torn asunder as they are by fractional differences?
And again, it is stated that the Musin Concert Company did not appear as was advertised, insinuating that it was the fault of the management. It is well known to everyone who reads the news of the day that the chief personage of this company was seriously injured in a railway accident, which event necessitated his cancelling all his engagements. Is the Lecture Bureau to be held responsible for that? If it must answer for it, an alliance with Providence should immediately be formed.
It is true Gunsalus will not appear. But will the patron lose anything? He pays twenty-five cents for each entertainment and if anything else is substituted for the attraction advertised, the money is refunded upon the presentation of his coupon. Could anything be more fair? What more is expected? Perhaps the writer of the article in question wishes the Lecture Bureau to pay damages to its patrons for disappointing them.
The students paid for their tickets, fully understanding all the conditions. They had perfect confidence in the management and on the other hand, the management inpeded for and received the support of the students. It fulfilled all that it promised, and it is the opinion of every thoughtful student, that the entertainments provided were excellent and that the Lecture Bureau this year has gained what bureaus of preceding years have not gained, namely, the perfect confidence of the students.

Twelfth Night.
Friday and Saturday night of next week the Athletic Association will present Shakespeare's great comedy "Twelfth Night" or "What You Will." This will be the crowning event of the University year and it goes without saying that all students will attend, and thus show their loyalty to the association and interest in its welfare. No pains have been spared in mounting, casting and costuming the play. New scenery has been painted by Rhee. The music will be furnished by the University Banjo Club, under the direction of Prof. Saunders. Prof. Blake will introduce some novel electric light effects. The piece will be one beautiful entrancing spectacle from beginning to end. It behooves every athlete in the University not only to attend but to interest as many of his friends as possible, so that the association may not only achieve an artistic success but a financial one as well. The association has decided to devote the net proceeds of the play to a gymnasium building fund, thus insuring a well equipped gymnasium in the near future. Since this action of the association several hundred dollars have been promised the fund by friends of the University. Now is the opportunity for all interested to make a united effort to secure to the association a sufficient fund for the carrying out of its plans. "A Mid Summer Night's Dream" netted the association over seven hundred and fifty dollars. It depends on each student whether or not Twelfth Night does as well.

The divorce question was discussed before the historical and Political Seminary last Friday; there were papers on the Statistics, the Causes and the Proposed Remedies of the divorce eyil. The papers were read by the Misses Radford, Hardy and Tinsley, respectively, and brought out many interesting points. The number of divorces is increasing faster than the population and the number of marriages. South Carolina is the only state in the Union which does not grant divorces. The tendency of the newly admitted states is toward bad laws regulating divorce. They are granted on too trivial causes, and state laws give too many opportunities for evasions. Divorces are now granted for forty-two causes. Laws should be more uniform throughout the state; should restrict marriage by requiring qualifications. There must be education of the heart; a higher ideal of marriage; and stronger public opinion condemning indiscriminate divorce.
New Millinery.
If you need anything in the drug line call at Straffan & Zimmerman's.
Mrs. Gardener has just received a new and elegant assortment of all the latest spring styles in millinery. All these goods will be on exhibition Easter week.
Mr. Powers' Lecture.
Notwithstanding the bad weather, a large and appreciative audience greeted Leland T. Powers at the opera house Monday evening. Mr. Powers showed himself an impersonator of rare talent. The characters of the play which he gave were impressed with great distinctness on those present. His rendition of the part of "Dear Dickie" was exceptionally good. Owing to the lack of costuming, his women were somewhat less realistic than the other parts; but the way he disengaged himself from their skirts was the perfection of art. More fault might be found with the play itself than with Mr. Powers' performance of it. It is hard to conceive that Garrick would tell of his experience at the merchant's house to such fellows as Dick. Again Mis' Ada's actions at the last of the play are scarcely in accordance with the character which she is given in the beginning of.
On the whole, however, the play was well suited to the dramatis personal. The last piece which Mr. Powers gave is evidently something which he has not been working at very long. He showed some hesitancy during the first part of it. But the handkerchiefs which came out during the speech of the prisoner at the bar, furnished the highest compliment to his power.
The Independents gave another of their pleasant dances at Fraternal Aid ball Tuesday night. About thirty couples danced to the entrancing music furnished by Prof. Saunders' orchestra. During the evening lunch was served by Weidemann. The party dispersed at a late hour, after a most enjoyable evening.
Elecrical Cookery.
Prof. Blake entertained his audience at Kansas City last Friday by practical experiments in electrical cookery. The experiments were very successful. He roasted and fried beef, fryed eggs, and baked pies and pan cakes. He showed the great convenience of the electrical stove. It could be placed on the table or even piano without doing injury, while the window in the side permitted a young lady to sew, or even play on the piano, while watching the cooking of the dinner. The audience did not partake of the feast prepared by the Professor, but it is safe to say that if some one had made a start they would have made away with it in short order. Heretofore the chief interest in the lectures of Prof. Blake has been shown by the gentlemen, but we may now expect the ladies to show much more interest than they have in the past.
Last Saturday a new oratorical association, to be known as the Central Kansas Oratorical Association, was formed at McPherson, Kansas. The association will comprise, McPherson College, Cooper Memorial College, of Sterling, Central College, of Enterprise, Bethany College, of Lindsborg, and other colleges of like standard which will be admitted. The first annual meeting of the association will be held next February at McPherson.
As chairman of the committee on adulterations of the Kansas Pharmaceutical Association, Prof. Sayre is receiving specimens of medicinal substances from various parts of the State to ascertain whether or not they come up to the pharmacopoeial standard of purity. This work will keep Professor Sayre and his assistants busy until the annual meeting of the association which occurs at Wichita, May 23, 24 and 25.

--of them right in through the Study Window. It read as follows:
Just think how generations to come will bless the energetic students of K. U. who planted the first trees along that beautiful and shady avenue, Oread.
THERE has been some talk of printing the constitution of the local Oratorical Association, for distribution among the students. This should have been done long ago. Every opportunity should be taken to let the students know just what are the conditions of entrance into the contest. Let them be printed and distributed in time to arouse a greater interest in the spring contest.
THE recent action of Harvard, in opening her museums Sunday afternoons throughout the year, shows that, old as she is, Harvard is not disposed to let her conservatism keep her much behind the new schools. The University of Kansas, by adopting a similar measure, could not fail to strengthen those close relations with the people of the city and state, which it has ever been her aim to maintain.
GRADUATES from our alma mater have good reason for feeling grateful to the recent legislature. The bill which grants a teacher's state certificate to our graduates is something which K. U. students have long desired, and it shows that the state is beginning to realize that graduates from its university make excellent teachers. Many schools of the state have long recognized this, as is shown by the fact that they have accepted, as teachers, graduates from K. U. without further examination, and have always returned for others when any were needed.
Twelfth Night, which will be given next week by the Athletic association, is looked forward to by all with great expectations. It is one of the most popular of Shakespeare's comedies and under the direction of Miss Georgia Brown will be presented by the strongest cast ever arranged for Lawrence amateur theatricals. New and elegant costumes and fine stage settings are in preparation, and Prof. Saunders is busy arranging special music to be given by the Banjo club. In all ways it will be the event of the year.
THE indoor athletic tournament last week was a decided success, and made the imitation of a system of athletic trials which should be more frequent. The great advantage of such trials of strength is that a student can enter the contest without being an athlete. Physical training is more especially needed by those who are unable to enter the heavier sports of foot ball and base ball, and these tournaments could and should be carried out for their benefit throughout the winter season, as they need not interfere with the greater sports. Enthusiasm is now aroused, and arrangements should at once be made for tennis and boating.
LECTURE BUREAU.
For reasons which are difficult to explain, but which the honest public is quick to lay at the door; of selfishness, the present Lecture Bureau has been maligned in public and in private, by small and contemptible means. It is sufficient to say that in some respects the work of the Bureau is open to honest criticism. But honest criticism is not malignity; it is not a means of indicating one's own conduct, nor of avenging a supposed slight. The fact that the course is not this year under the same management as last, is not a sufficient reason for making a general attack on the Bureau. And on the other hand, a newspaper which will defame an organization merely because that organization does not choose to do business with it, or because its good will is not purchased by the giving of "comps," is a dangerous menace to the liberties of a community.
The Bureau is not afraid of an investigation of its work. Much time and energy has been expended in arranging a valuable course and in placing the venture on a sound financial basis. The constant aim of the managers has been to establish a permanent Lecture Bureau, with a permanent working fund. Even barring the lectures which were more instructive than entertaining, the course this year is certainly a much more satisfactory one than any heretofore given. Many second and third rate lecturers can be secured, but the first class lecturers are loath to come west; and if for some unforeseen cause a lecturer cannot fulfill his engagements, it is very difficult to get a substitute satisfactory alike to the Bureau and to the public. In this respect the Bureau has experienced much trouble. The attractions secured are all of the very best to be obtained, and are given at a price lower than the trashy shows which so often frequent theatrical circuits. Patrons of the course who have objected to the lectures on the ground that they were uninteresting forget that for a paltry price they have been enabled to meet face to face some of the foremost men of our nation. Students and young people especially do not attach enough worth to the fact that seeing and hearing men of great thought and deeds is as much a part of an education as is the classroom and library work. Every time a student of our alma mater goes to a class it costs the state, at a very conservative estimate, at least forty cents. Are not the "class room lectures" on the lecture course worth twenty-five cents to a student, in comparison with the work for which the state is willing and anxious to pay forty cents?
The course has also been a success, financially. The affairs were economically managed and the Bureau will have a fund of about $250 to begin next year's work. In all respects, honestly considered, the venture has been a success this year and friends of a permanent Bureau will be pleased to have the same character of an organization continue the work during the next year.
THE interest which is being shown in the lectures of Prof. Wilcox on the objects in the classical museum, gives some indication of the number of students who intend to go to the World's Fair. The lecture yesterday was attended by a goodly number of students, considering the fact that it was the last day before vacation. The students recognize that the knowledge of a few fundamental facts about classical art will be of very great value to them while attending the Fair.
WHERE, oh where, we ask again, are the alumni who last year undertook with great determination to raise funds to establish permanent scholarships at the University? Have they gone out with the tide never to return, or are they busy gathering the pearls?
By shrewd calculation a mathematical student has come to the conclusion that it is cheaper to stand through a lecture than to spend several hours trying to secure a reserved seat.
OUR STUDY WINDOW.
THE DREARY DAY.
In the past with the days that seemed brighter
Than Alladdin's diamond deck ha'la.
And the hours passed actor and lighter
That the footsteps of angels fall.
The day is dark and dreary.
The rain is falling fast,
My heart is lone and weary,
My thoughts are away in the
My heart is lone and weary,
My thoughts are away in the past.
And my heart is left in its sorrow
To wee; and wall alone
Witne never a hope for the morrow,
Through the gloom of its sadness thrown.
The rain in its fury is sweeping
O'er hill-top and grass covered plain,
And my heart is sobbing and weeping,
Is sobbing and weeping in vain.
O, heart, cast ally all thy sorrow
For the rain, may soon cease and be o'er.
Ard my thoughts may return on the morrow
To comfort and cheer the once more.
And perhaps are days a many
In the future dim and vast,
That are father by far than any
That lie in the tomb of the past.
--of them right in through the Study Window. It read as follows:
-F. J. LANGE
Is our *Alma Mater* open to a charge of sight affection in desiring to appear literary, or what is the explanation of the way in which she scatters manuscript over the top of Mt. Oread in such scholarly confusion?
Curiously enough the bulk of the paper is accumulated to the northwest of Snow Hall. Now it would not only be more appropriate about the main building, but would stand a better chance of being seen by visitors, and impressing them with our literary tendencies; unless—such is the stupidity of some people—they should not understand its significance, and actually think that a lot of papers, eddying hither and yon with careless grace, was—untidy, and a sign that our *Mater* is not a good house keeper.

The campus—Surely we do not appreciate it? Some of us are pretty intimately acquainted with the soil of McCook Field, but what do we know of that in the north hollow yonder? Not even what it produces, and yet violets and crab-apple blossoms, anemones and spider-lilies are not to be despised.
Probably north hollow could not be improved upon, but the grounds to the east and south of the main building could. The lilac hedge must be a pleasant recollection in the mind of many an alumnus, and there is no reason why we should not have more of such pleasant memories. There are plenty of hardy shrubs and vines, like the syringa and sweet honey-suckle, which would require no care and would soon amply repay the small trouble of setting them out. Many of our students come from western Kansas where their education in the matter of flowers has necessarily been limited. Here they ought to have a chance to develop in this direction as well as others. The poets, from Shakespeare down, have known and loved flowers. Let us furnish our future poets with material to fal back on.
Then there is the matter of trees. Our buildings, as yet, do not tend to cultivate the artistic sense. The chemistry building seems to be modeled after a child's block house, and the main building has been broadly classified as belonging to the American school of architecture. It is to the trees we must turn for the Gothic arch and Corinthian column.
Therefore let us have more trees. Not on the campus perhaps, at least not where they would cut off the view, but on the bare hilltop to the north, where it is proposed to put the library building, and along the north side of Adams street where a row of trees is almost necessary to correspond with the elms on the south. North College, too, would not look near so bleak and desolate, if it were possible to conjure up four or five great trees to shade it and break its hard outlines. We have Arbor Day, nominally. Why not observe it in reality?
As the editor finished writing the above, a gust of wind, eddying about among the papers in question, blew one
**
"History, unlike the Bard of Avon repeats itself. Coming events cast them shadows before. In the dim and hazy distance, the success of K. S. U. at the State Oratorical contest is perceived. It looms up like a ship in a fog, and presages honor and glory for Kansas' favorite institution."
This was immediately recognized as the beginning of an article which had been refused publication a month or two before. Upon investigation, it was found that most of the papers floating over the campus are of the same nature. Why they have been rejected is obvious, but if the editor had imagined they would ever adorn the wind-swept top of Mt. Oread he would have consigned them to the waste basket while it was in his power.

GEOGRAPHICAL SUPERIORITY.
The natural man can hardly help rejoicing when he preciates or thinks he preceives, his superiority to others of his species Superiority derived from geographical position is specially apt to minister to pleasure of the sort I have indicated.
Teachers' Certificates.
What a merit it is in the superior being that he was born an Englishman, when, as the chorus sings, "He might have been a Russian, a French, or Turk, or Prussian, or perhaps Italian!" In this country the superior being may be heard to murmur: "In the East my birthplace lies." Our country is as we are wont to say. First in war, first in peace, and first to measure superiority by meridians of longitude. In ancient times the centers of superiority were fixed, and the amount of satisfaction to be derived from geographical considerations necessarily limited. More recently the discovery has been made that the East is the center of superiority. Mark what follows: Since each spot on the globe is east of some other spot, and consequently superior to it, the joy to be derived from the consciousness of superiority is extended to the whole race of Adam. Thus it was that a lady in a Montana town, when asked if she was a resident of that place, replied, "Oh, no; I come from down east, from Sioux Falls, Dakota," and the inhabitants of a certain district in Nova Scotia explained the scarcity of male inhabitants by saying that most of the men had gone west—to Boston. M. M.
The legislature's recognition of the value of the state schools was not shown solely by appropriations. House bill No. 182, which went into effect March 14th, gives the State Board of Education, consisting of the chancellor of the University, the presidents of the State Normal and the State Agricultural College, and three others appointed by the governor, power to grant state certificates to graduates of the State University, the State Agricultural College and other institutions of learning, incorporated under the laws of the state, which maintain a course of study as efficient as the four years courses of the State Normal. The certificates are to be granted first for three years; then, if the persons holding them" have taught successfully at least two years out of the three, and have kept themselves well informed in the general literature of the profession, the state board shall issue life certificates in lieu of the first ones issued."
"All life certificates issued by the state board of education or by regents of the State Normal school shall be void if the holder of the same should not be engaged in school work for three consecutive years; provided, that certificates may be renewed by the state board of education."
This law will undoubtedly result in inducing many students, who desire to become teachers, to attend the State University and the Agricultural College in preference to the State Normal.

KODAK SHOTS-
At the last moment before going to press, we learned that the six modest members of the senior class intend to avoid appearing on the platform or in print by "floating" their occasions about the campus. On learning this, we endeavored to kill the article on the literary aspect of the campus, but unfortunately the first form had already gone to press. Our Literary Editor will not again make such an error. As it is, we can only express our sincere regret that the 'article slipped in.'
The following incident is taken from a novel which a University student is writing. The novel will be out about the last of May.
It was a large dry goods emporium with a lot of dummies on the hot pavement in front, staring all day long at the passe-a-by. She had made her purchases, and was looking down and putting her pocket-book in her hand-bag as she hurried out, when—bump! she went into one of those awful dummies.
it tipped and would have fallen had she not instinctively caught it around waist and straightened it up.
"Bey pardon!" exclaimed the dummie. The smile, the blush were quickly over; yet as she hastened on, with the image of those eyes, and of that black mustache imprinted on her memory, she felt that he loved her.
A post mortem examination of a number of puns, which have appeared lately in this column, was ordered by the editorial board. It was revealed that they were already dead before shot by the kodak editor. It also appears that they died of old age. We are sorry: We still feel certain we could have killed them—Ed.
"But, oh, for the touch of a vanished hand.
And the sound of a voice that is still:"
For the hand was a flush of royal hearts. And the voice said: "Its yours, take the bill."
"You see," said the professor of bacteriology to his class, "there is a strong tendency to look upon almost all bad habits as diseases. Now, when in the progress of science, this idea can be associated with the disease-germ theory, which as you know, supposes a distinct bacillus exists for nearly every disease, there will be a revolution in treatment. Politics will be looked upon in this light; and I believe the time is not far distant when a 'political microbe' will be discovered. The symptoms of the disease are easily apparent, and an epidemic, as in Kansas this year, is fatal. Inoculation against the ravages of the 'political microbe' will be compulsory in the future. I have already succeeded," he added, as he turned the last sheet and straightened his manuscript, "in isolating some peculiar bacilli from the brain substance of a disappointed fusionist, and I may reveal something on the subject later."
"I saw Miss B. going down the street with a corpse the other day," remarked the first girl.
"With a what?" exclaimed the second.
"Mr. Highfighter, the university student," continued the first. "You see, he was calling on me the other day and as usual was talking about himself, when he concluded an account of something by saying, 'Oh yes, I'm a dead game sport—all of our crowd are dead game sports.'
"It's too bad there isn't a law to provide for the burial of corpses," said I. Then he took his hat and suddenly bid me good day."
The April fool can't be compared to the March one who made five society engagements on bright clear days and filled them on five cold, drizzling nights in black, muddy ominous looking hacks. He made hay all right while the sun shone, but it was rather expensive raking it in. An insurance company should be started which will guarantee transportation in case of 'inclement weather, at a reasonable premium.

Changes in Base Ball Rules.
The committee on revision of base ball rules, appointed by the National Base Ball League, has made the following report:
1. No enajement of the infield now in use.
2. Removal of the pitcher from his present position to the center of the infield; abolish the pitcher's box and substitute therefor a boundary plate covering a twelve-inch space to which the pitcher will be confined.
3. Abolition of the flat bat.
4. A fixed definition of a bank ban.
5. A simplification of the rules applying to the duties, powers and responsibilities of umpires.
7. A rule governing official scores which provides that a player who makes a sacrifice hit which advances a base runner shall not be charged with a time at bat.
Pocket knives at Smith's news stand.
As our first annual lecture course is nearly at an end it seems to me a good time for those who have its true interests at heart to suggest means of improving our course for next year. That the Bureau has had some senseless opposition and criticism from a few who are in favor of private "enterprises" at public expense for their personal aggrandizement, no one will deny. That the Bureau has made some mistakes is equally true, and what every loyal student of the University should do is to suggest remedies for the things he thinks can be improved.
COMMUNICATIONS.
The point I have in mind now is the method employed by ticket holders to get reserved seats. The present method not only offers a premium on animal endurance and selfishness, but it makes those qualities absolutely necessary to getting reasonably good seats. The propriety of requiring some such a scrambling and knock-down process to get into an athletic show might not be questioned, but it is hardly suitable for a lecture or concert. Under the present method, anyone who hasn't the physical endurance necessary to stand out in the street from 2 o'clock in the morning until 8, and at the same time holds his place against all comers will have to take what he can get in the way of seats. It seems to me that all holders of course tickets should have an equal chance to get seats during the day reserved for them. This might be accomplished by allowing the holders of tickets to draw for their seats at each entertainment. There may be some objection to this method, but it seems to me that there is less than any other, certainly less than to the present.

Language Conference,
The Language Conference met in spec-ial session at Mr. Woodward's last Thursday day and enjoyed the rare treat of listening to a paper on "The New Motive in Fiction" by Mrs. Anna B. McMahon, of Quincy, Illinois. The great reputation Mrs. McMahon has made as a literary worker in the "Friends in Council," of which she is the leader, aroused more than usual expectations among the members of the Conference, and certainly no one was disappointed.
Love has always been the one great and only motive force in fiction and will always remain so. It is then not so much a new motive that we are to look for in latter day novels as it is a new treatment of the old—or rather, ever new motive, love. This new treatment of love is seen in the fact that the latest novel takes up the story where former ones left it. Marriage was "formerly the goal of the story; now it is the beginning. The center of interest has been transferred from romance to life, which is a step in advance. Woman, who will always remain the center of attraction in fiction, has improved much with the education of the race. The modern heroine is a very different person from the sweet, tender, nice little nobody so popular in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. She is now more of a woman, more intellectual, but not less sweet. We love, not the face, but the meaning we see behind it.
As excellent examples showing the new motive in fiction, we have Anna Carinna, Roger Hunt, a Human Document, and many others of like character. These stories deal with the real trials of life—those which come after marriage. In an ideal married life comes the best, the brightest, the noblest education of life, and second to this only is the discipline of bearing nobly the trials of an unhappy union. A disappointing marriage is infinitely superior to the greatest happiness of illicit love. We have admired rebellious love too long. It is time for us to learn that patience and endurance which makes life a real preparation.
The new motive is, then, love in its varying course after marriage, not illicit love, but love in spite of the strict conventionalities which modern society has thrown around it.
Easter Sunrise Service.
The Enworth League will hold a sunrise service on Easter Sunday at 6 a. m. All the young peoples' societies in town have been invited, and a general good time is expected. There will be a special chorus to lead the singing. The majority of the bells in the city will be rung at a few minutes before the meeting opens, and the city will hear a chime such as has not been heard for years. The meeting will be in the nature of a praise service. All students are invited to attend and make the meeting a memorable one.
