MIDNIGHT oil does not always indicate the presence of the bookworm, it is just as possible that something not quite so legitimate is illuminated by the student lamp.
At the meeting of the Seminary of Historical and Political Science last Friday the officers failed to materialize, but having appointed a chairman pro tem., the students carried on the discussion of the Hawaiian question without the assistance of the Profs. At the next meeting resolutions will probably be passed in regard to the growing tardiness of the professors.
THE condition of the sidewalks leading to the University from some of the principal streets of Lawrence is simply unendurable. Mississippi street has about a hundred yards of decent
sidewalk in the half mile nearest the University, the rest is mud-pure mud, sticky and fathomless. Occasionally there are a few steps of rotten sidewalk, but the most of it is inclined about 45 degrees toward the ditch running parallel. The crossings resemble a continuous pig-sty; they are cleaned on an average of once in two weeks and it requires about two hours to completely cover them up with the mud from passing vehicles. In order to reach the top of Mount Oread in damp weather, we will soon be obliged to use life preservers. These sidewalks are used as much as any in the city excepting in the business part. The municipality of Lawrence needs jogging. The street commissioner has paid no attention to the needs of the family on the hill and we feel that the registration of a kick is highly in order.
Every voter in school is obliged to pay the three dollars poll tax or else work out his indebtedness by the sweat of his face, when the labor endured by wading through the sea of mud, if rightly applied, would have built sidewalks from here to Topeka. The money spent by the student body in Lawrence approximates two hundered thousand dollars yearly, when about one thousandth part of that sum would build at least passable sidewalks, and still we continue to wade.
The gist of the article in the Record last Friday in regard to the connection of the University with the State Oratorical Association, is the best possible argument for one of the paramount needs of the University—a chair of oratory. The University cannot afford to withdraw from the association, not at present, any way. We

would be the target for insinuations of cowardice from every college in the state, which would rightfully denounce such a measure.
There is unquestionably as good material here as there is in the other colleges of Kansas, but we certainly do need instruction in speaking. With the exception of last year, when the University orator took second place, we have had a very ordinary ranking for the last four years, but in every case the fault has been with the delivery, not with the composition.
The students and faculty alike feel the want of a competent instructor in this line. The only law school in the state gives its graduates no training whatever in speaking, but sends them out with a degree of L. L. B. and if any of them ever learn to speak, as every lawyer should, it is due to his own exertion and not to any help in this line received from his alma mater. We predict that if the institution will afford competent instruction in oratory, the University representative each year will rank among the first three.
The new members on the board of regents, appointed by Governor Lewelling last Saturday, are good selections, and faculty and students are alike pleased. Ex-Governor Robinson, of this city, is as staunch a friend as the University can boast and has done much to make its present proud position possible. It goes without saying that on the board of regents his interest in University growth, coupled with his wide influence throughout the state, will prove of great benefit to our institution. Professor A. S. Olin, superintendent of the Kansas City, Kansas, public schools, was once a tutor at K. U., when there was a Normal department in connection wtth the collegiate work. He is recognized as one of the foremost educators in the West, and his loyalty to K. U. insures his undivided attention to her needs. Mr. J. P. Sams, of Seneca, the third member appointed, is a wealthy farmer and a firm believer in higher education. It is especially fitting that a farmer should be one of the board of regents, since the greater proportion of the students are farmers' sons and daughters. These three new
members, constituting one-half of our governing board, enter upon their duties at a time when great possibilities are open for our institution and it is confidently expected that each of them will be found faithful to his trust.
The three members retiring from this board are well known to students and alumni, since two are graduates of the institution. Mr. W. C. Spangler, of this city, very acceptably filled the important office of acting Chancellor during the vacancy following the resignation of Chancellor Lippencott and preceding the election of Chancellor Snow. Hon. C. S. Gleed, of Topeka, has not only served the University well as a regent, but has reflected credit upon his alma mater by his achievements in the legal and the literary world. Hon. Joel Moody, of Mound City, is well known to all as the author of the Moody Bill that gave the University a permanent appropriation. Each of the three retiring regents has worked untiringly in the interests of K.U., and upon their retirement the Courier voices the sentiment of all in its expression of approval of their efforts and of best wishes for continued success.
To the student who inclines toward athletics, the present season is one of considerable monotony. The constantly changing weather of February and March impose a restraint upon all out-door exercise, but the persevering man will overcome all obstacles. The gymnasium is well filled at all hours. A barn in South Lawrence has been well equipped for indoor work and the rink furnishes a practice ground for base ball aspirants. May the good work continue.
THE Glee Club fill their last engagement Friday night, in Ottawa.
WHAT a great business combination the coal merchant and the ice man could form!
SOME one could write an appropriate fable about the student who waited all day to see the ice go out.

This lecture was delivered at the regular winter state bar association meeting in Topeka and attracted much attention. The law department was very fortunate in securing such an able lecturer.

Two explosions occurred in the chemica laboratory last week while the Freshman class was making hydrogen. No serious damage was done.
The road (we say road for there is no walk) is getting so bad on Mississippi street that many of the students go around by the Law school to reach the University, rather than to wade through the mud and run the risk of getting stuck.
TheGreek Symposium met last Thursday in the physical lecture room. The subject was Greek Architecture in Later and Modern times. The room was darkened and magic-lantern views of Greek architecture were thrown upon a canvas. Also some views of World's Fair buildings were displayed in order to show their resemblance to ancient Greek building.
Prof. Hopkins lectured in chapel last Friday morning on Old Time Music. He told how the tune "America" is supposed to have originated. It was first sung in this country in 1740, but with other words than are used now. He was assisted by a double quartette that sang several old songs illustrating different kinds of church hymns. The lecture was very interesting and instructive and we heard it remarked that if such things were given oftener in chapel there would be a larger attendance.
The Seminary of Political Science meeting last Friday presented a very instructive and interesting program. No professor was present, but on motion by Mr. Bennett to elect a chairman pro tem., Mr. Holmes was elected presiding officer. The discussion of the Hawaiian question by Miss Humphrey, Miss Wynne, Mr. Sherman and Mr. Kinsey, brought out many interesting points. The history and geography, economic and commercial advantages, the provisions of the treaty between Hawaii and the United States, and the general political significance of annexation, were the principal points of discussion. The question is certainly one of live interest and the subject was treated in a scholarly and effective manner.

Rohe, the Lawrence artist, is at work on some elaborate scenery for Twelfth Night.
Rehearsals for Twelfth Night were held on Saturday and Wednesday evenings, at the Opera House.
The district convention of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity will be held here Wednesday and Thursday, April 5th and 6th.
President Boyd, of Oklahoma University, who visited here last Monday and Tuesday, is a member of Beta Theta Pi.
The music for Twelfth Night will be furnished by the University Banjo Club. Prof. Saunders is working up some new pieces for the occasion.
The statement made last week that the credit of securing the Mozart Symphony Club was due to Prof. Penny, was a mistake. The lecture bureau secured the attraction long before Prof. Penny's musical course was arranged, and the item crept into these columns without the knowledge of the local editor.
Hall and O'Donald, of Topeka, are doing the press work on the University Annual, and the Moss Engraving Company of New York city is furnishing the half-tones. Bloomgren & Co.of Chicago furnish the copper and zinc plates. The artistic work has been executed by Prof. Geo.E. Hopkins of the Art department and by Geo.E.Little. The cost of the Annual will approximate two thousand dollars and it will be the finest book of its kind ever published in the West.
The new members on the board of regents appointed by Gov. Lewelling last Saturday are: Ex-Gov. Charles Robinson of this city, Prof. A. S. Olin, superintendent of city schools Kansas City, Kansas, and Mr. J. P. Sams, a wealthy farmer of Seneca. They succeed Hon Joel Moody, of Mound City, Hon. C. S. Gleed of Topeka, and Hon. W. C. Spangler of this city. The other three members of the board whose terms expire in 1895, are: Hon. D. A. Valentine, Clay Center; Hon. C. B. Mitchell, Gueda Springs, and Hon. C. F. Scott, Iola.
The concert by the Mozart Symphony Club in the lecture course Friday night was an unqualified success. The opera house was crowded from parquet to gallery and everybody was delighted with the excellence of the performance. The music, while of a classical nature, was such as to please a popular audience. One of the especially pleasing features of the concert was the exquisite harp playing by Miss Toulmin. The program was received enthusiastically and the encores were frequent. If the lecture course contained more such attractions, combining real merit with the art of pleasing and delighting the audience, there would be a cessation of the kicks registered against the present management.
Pi Phi Musicale.
The ladies of the Pi Phi fraternity gave a Musicale to the wives of the professors and their lady friends about town, at the beautiful residence of Mrs. Smithmeyer last Saturday, from three to six. The party was given by gaslight and the rooms were handsomely decorated with musical instruments and carnations, the fraternity flower; the mantels were banked with hyacinths and trailing vines. The rooms were very attractive and when made still more so by the presence of a large number of charming Pi Phi girls, the guests could not help but enjoy themselves. The greater part of the musical talent was from abroad and the affair was probably the most successful one of its kind ever given in Lawrence. The following is the program rendered:
Tarantelle...Nicode Miss Louise Smith.
Sweet Repose...Howe Miss Gertrude Nofsinger.
Cavatina ... Raff Miss Abbie Clarke.
La Fileuse, Op.157 ...Raff Miss Fleeta Fay Foster.
Ritournelle ... Chaminode Mrs. Anna March Dunlap.

LITERARY.
Negatives.
They were two ebony hued little urchins and in the most energetic manner, they were just settling a dispute as to the ownership of some "miggles," when a kind hearted, Y. M. C. A.-looking student came along. "Don't you know it is wrong to fight, boys?" he said, as he stopped to part the combatants. But they sent him up the street with—"You don't know, do you? What do you care! Go 'long there, feller, er you'll git your face pushed." And as he turned the corner a volley of mud-balls was all that he got for his pains.
In one of the alcoves of the library, I was tilted back in my chair, with my feet up on the third shelf, trying to grasp the full import of the "Philosophy of the Unconscious," when the following bit of whispered conversation fell upon my ears:
"Why weren't you at the Kappa party the other night, Fan? I was just wild to see you."
"Oh! Maud, don't mention it. I never was so disappointed in my life. You know that elegant pink gown I just had made? Well, the stockings to match were ordered from Kansas City and they didn't come in time. Of course no others would go with that dress and as I had already worn all my other party dresses before, I just couldn't go. I was just sick about it, for I was dying to be there."
And as I changed my position and again sought my book, I indistinctly heard the adjectives "awful" and "horrible" several times repeated.
The boys had been making a great deal over him, as they always do an old alumnus, and he had been entertaining them at length with a few ambitious jovial lies about the "good old days" when he was a sophomore and the way the fellows ran things then. As was but natural, the conversation turned on foot-ball. A few of the recent games had been "played over," and
he was just telling what a great player he used to be, when I came in. O, yes! he knew all about foot-ball—many was the time he had carried the whole twenty-one men over the goal line. He had laid out several men and broken the legs of two or three; but that was when they played foot-ball that was worth talking about. I said nothing, but I suddenly remembered that the first game ever played at the University occurred only four years ago, and that he graduated in '81!
He was one of the finest looking men I ever saw, and I watched him intently for some time as he sat there under the gas light. He had a remarkably strong face. His wavy black hair surmounted a high and noble forehead, while his deep-set, penetrating eyes, his slightly Grecian nose and his firm set mouth made up a countenance well worth studying. Then there was an air of experience and a slightly blasé look about him that set me conjecturing over his history and present employment, for I knew he was an exceedingly important and influential man. I could not decide, however, whether he was a high railroad official, a learned professor or a great statesman. Finally my curiosity so got possession of me that I was emboldened to speak to him. By way of answer he handed me his card, while he dumfounded me with the remark, that he had been "on the road" for five years. He was now selling hair-pins and garters for a Chicago house.
A cold February rain was slowly falling on the quiet college town, as Robertson Wilson left his room and, wrapped in his storm-coat, hurried along the deserted streets. He had that day received from the officials of the college, notice that he had been expelled, and disheartened, disconsolate and without a mother or sister to whom to go for that love and sympathy which only a woman can give to a man when in trouble and misfortune, was hastening to the girl he loved—the girl who for two years had been his confidant and companion. As he walked hastily along the lonely street, his spirits rose a little as he thought of the pleasure and

comfort that awaited him. But as he approached her home an indescribable apprehension took possession of him; and it was almost reluctantly that he ascended the steps and rang the bell. His welcome was apparently such as many that he had received before, but his apprehension was increased by what he imagined to be a coldness and reserve in her manner.
After the usual exchange of general and desultory remarks, they seated themselves before the open fireplace as they had often done before; but for a long time they sat intently gazing at the glowing coals and neither spoke. At last he broke the silence: "You know it all," he said, "yet I hope that there is one person to whom I can come for love and sympathy." She did not answer him, but sat motionless, still intently gazing into the fire. He arose and taking one of her hands in his, spoke in a tone which betrayed the emotion he felt: "I would not think of asking you to be the same to me that you have been in the past, for I love you far too well to ask you to share with me any humiliation or disgrace, but surely you who have for the last two years known my every thought and deed, will not think less of me now; surely you, too, will not turn against me." He stood looking down upon her, waiting for the answer which meant so much to him.
"No," she said at last, in slow, measured tones, "I am not turning against you, but then the disgrace." The hand which he held was dropped, and with bowed head he slowly left the room.
Little did he think, as he gloomily hastened along the deserted streets in the slowly descending rain, that the girl he was at that moment so bitterly denouncing, was still sitting before the fireplace, but with her face in her hands—with bowed head—she was silently weeping.

The remarkably large "editorial board" which heads the columns of a great many college papers is well "taken off" by Puck:
The Baker Index has the picture of Mert Rice as a frontispiece this month, and also his oration on Government. Rice is a great man at Baker this year—by the way, he is editor of the Index.

College man. "Oh, no; that's a meeting of the board of editors of our college paper."
"More thinking and less imitation is one of the greatest needs of the average student. Honest and sincere efforts to develope and express one's own mind in matters in which it is interested, are worth more than the most skillful adaptations of borrowed thoughts or common place utterances regarding questions beyond one's scope."—Ex.

In the Freshman class he entered,

But he all his powers centered

Best debater in the hall.

ATHLETICS.
Eastern crews are rowing out of doors whenever the weather permits.
Critics report that the Yale crew's most serious fault lies in her miserable time.
Yale has thirty-eight men training for the long distant runs in the coming field day.
J. W. Cooper, secretary of Missouri State University Athletic Association reports athletics to be in a flourishing condition in that college. In foot-ball they have been quite strong the past year, while last year's base-ball team won eighty per cent of the games played. Field day is observed with great interest and with much success. Some of the best all around athletes, among whom are known to K.U. men Shawhan, Young, Brace, Hodge and Anderson. Much interest is taken in athletics at Washington University at St. Louis, while Fleet's Military school is rapidly pushing itself to the fore.
Walter Camp, in his article on "Undergraduate Limitation in College Sports," in Harper's Weekly, February 11, 1893, says: "The immediate cause of the action was probably a thorough discussion of the increasing professional tendency in college sports, and the discussion was carried on by several New York gentlemen most actively interested in the general welfare of athletics. After many plans had been suggested and been rejected as unwise or impracticable these gentlemen reached the conclusion that limitation to undergraduates was the most simple and plausible. In track athletics and foot-ball only are these bodies arranged to make rules and limitations, hence the foot-ball association was made to bear the brunt of the battle which was almost certain to follow legislation of any kind." Mr. Camp seems to think that no matter what action is taken the rules will be modified after a year's trial, but nevertheless will be of radical benefit.
The results of the recent meeting of the athletic board seems to have given athletes an incentive for hard work. Everyone seems elated over the fact that a running track is to be placed in order at once and that the rink has been secured for baseball practice. About fifty applicants for positions on the team have handed their names to Manager Adams and daily practice is going on. No less than three hours practice a week is required of each candidate, with the privilege of as much additional practice as he wishes. In addition to base-ball, hand-ball has been started in the rink and is rapidly pushing itself into prominence. For the past few days base-ball has been the theme for discussion throughout the halls, well showing the interest which is being taken in spring athletics. Competition for positions on the coming team will be rife, and "He who would honor have must win it."
The triangular field day meet promises to be a day of unusual interest in Kansas. Washburn, Baker and Kansas University, with possible representatives from other colleges, will compete in the following contests: one hundred yards, two hundred twenty yards, one-half mile, one mile running races, one hundred yard and two hundred twenty yards hurdle races, putting the shot, throwing the hammer, broad and high jump, pole vault, mile walk, and bicycle race. This meet will be the initiatory step of a custom which in future years will enable Kansas college men to compete with one another in the various field day sports. Not only this, but with enthusiasm at its highest, competition will not stop in the state but our state winners will wish to compete with eastern colleges. There is no reason why Kansas should not send representative men to the Inter-State Field Day meets held at Mott Haven, New York, to which all colleges in the United States are eligible. Of course we appreciate the fact that eastern college men have advantages the entire year which are far superior to ours and that college enthusiasm in the east is always kept at a greater tension, but it is only a matter of time until our western colleges will be able to compete with their eastern sisters.

It is intended by the management to improve the appearance of the Courier by adopting a heavier and better quality of paper as soon as possible.
The enterprising lawyers at North college have organized a district and supreme court. It is needless to add that the Juniors run the supreme court.
MR. VERNON L. KELLOGG, so well known to to every one connected with the University, has received a most flattering offer from President Jordan of Leland Stanford, Jr., University.
Mr. Kellogg, who has been acting as private secretary to Chancellor Snow, left his position a short time ago to pursue a higher course of work in entomology under his old instructor, Prof. Comstock, formerly of Cornell, who is at present occupying the chair of entomology in the great California University. Shortly after his arrival Mr. Kellogg was offered the assistant professorship in the chair of entomology. At present he has the offer under consideration and it is expected will accept.
It is needless to say that Chancellor Snow in common with the students and faculty as a whole, sincerely regret the probable severance of Mr. Kellogg's connection with his alma mater. By his untiring efforts he has accomplished as much as any graduate of the University, and his courteous treatment of all has gained for himself many warm friends, who, while regretting his departure from Kansas, unite in rejoicing at the larger and better prospect which the new field of work will open to his well trained energies. The Courier extends congratulations and wishes Mr. Kellogg the best success in his new work.
THE student who accomplishes the most original research, or who learns to analyze and classify the subject under investigation in an original manner, gains more in one week than he could in months of routine digging at musty books.

The University Courier.
The field notes of Prof. Dyche, taken during his hunting excursions in far Northwest, have been compiled and edited by Mr. E.C.Edwords, editor of the Kansas City Journal. The volume will undoubtedly be most interesting, coming as it does from so experienced a writer as Mr. Edwords. The many and various incidents of travel and adventure which befell the great hunter and taxidermist, while collecting his specimens, will unquestionably prove an interesting subject.
The book will be sold on the grounds of the Columbian exhibit where Prof. Dyche has his unrivalled collection at present. It is a noteworthy fact that this is the only volume of its kind that will be sold on the grounds and we are doubly proud of the honor shown to a K. S. U. man whose work has brought such favorable notice to the University.
The man who can find his rubbers where he left them, when he is ready to leave the building, has righteous cause for wonder. It is astonishing the way the rubber fiend and the man with the old umbrella fail to recognize their personal property when there is any chance to appropriate a better article. There is no distinction of class, color or previous amount of service; a pair of rubber boots left in the corridor have been known to assume the shape of two veteran rubbers inside of one short hour. We all laugh when the newly arrived student posts a sign on the bulletin that somebody will please return his lost rubbers, but unless lockers are furnished everybody,the number of unintentional (?) exchanges will not decrease.
With all due respect for the perseverance and application of the bookworm, we must characterize the man who has no sympathy with the athletic movement as a blockhead. There are men among us who devote themselves to books with so much assiduity that they have not time for even a moderate amount of exercise. To reach the goal of graduation or from an ambition to excel in class standing, the physical man is wrecked before maturity. It is not always
the bookworm that is below the physical standard, but there is the man whose social dissipation not only causes neglect of every rule of health but classes him with those who depart at the close of the first term. The distinctive idea of an education is to develope each man symmetrically. That student who continues to devote all his time to books is laying the foundation of an undeveloped and sickly maturity; he is neglecting one of his greatest duties and the neglect may cause years of suffering in after life. The athlete who fails in two studies is a rare specimen, but our bookworms are often obliged to leave college forever on account of physical disability.
The habit of systematic and conscientious research, if kept up after leaving college, is of more real value than the limited amount of knowledge acquired in the regulation four years. It has been said that a college man is fitted for nothing special and is consequently at a great disadvantage, but with the foundation of four years' good work to start from, the college graduate is fitted for any work he may wish to take up. No specialty can ever be acquired without long training in particular branches, but the men who acquire the greatest proficiency in special lines must have the proper foundation of general information.
WHEN a student receives a quiz book from the investigating committee of one and finds no red and green disfiguration thereon, he is very apt to mention it in the regular monthly letter, forgetting to enumerate the other quiz books which look like a miniature sketch of a Sioux massacre.
The man who can preserve silence when he is angry, who can refrain from talking when talking is a dangerous thing, is greater than he who winneth a state oratorical contest.
WHILE the University can turn out such men as Prof. Dyche and Vernon Kellogg, the sunflower state has just cause to feel proud of her home-bred men.

The sidewalk on Adams street leading to Mt. Oread was chalked Tuesday morning with a number of severe charges against one of the University siudents. The rain has already washed away the chalk, but the charges still remain in the minds of the students.
The Senior class had a meeting last week but owing to differences of opinion very little business was done. An effort is being made to have graduating orations done away with and to have a lecture by some noted man in place of them. The Senior breakfast has been given up. Something will be arranged to take its place, but it has not yet been decided what it will be. The advisability of a class play and other important matters are also being discussed.
There was a large attendance at chapel Tuesday morning. Prof. Carruth gave a plain, practical talk on College Fraternities. He says there are many advantages to be derived from a fraternity, providing it does not deviate too much from its proper limits. Fraternity men

are liable to faults and non-fraternity men are liable to the same faults. His talk was instructive and beneficial to all classes and every one seemed to think that he told the exact truth of the matter.

The lecture bureau is very sorry to announce that, on account of throat trouble, Dr. Gunsaulus will be obliged to disappoint the people of Lawrence again this winter. The bureau has made every effort to secure him, but under the circumstances that was impossible. It is too late in the season to secure another good lecturer, therefore the bureau thought that the best thing it could do was to secure the Lotus Glee Club, which gave such good satisfaction last year. The date of this entertainment will be March 18th.
The Language Conference met last Thursday at the usual hour, with a large attendance. The first paper was by Mr. Kruse, subject, Iago. It was a well written and clear analysis of this famous character. A long and interesting discussion followed, in which many important points were brought out. The next paper was by Miss Toburn. The subject was Othello. It was presented in a very attractive form and the audience was greatly delighted with her vivid description of this powerful character. When the paper had been duly discussed the time was up and it was decided to postpone the remainder of the program—a lecture by Dr. Wilcox on Biblical Parallels to Homer—till the next meeting.
The Glee and Banjo Club returned Saturday morning from Ottawa, where the boys gave their famous concert Friday evening in the Auditorium, under the auspices of the First
Presbyterian church. The concert was a success in every respect, notwithstanding the fact that Prof. Penny failed to go with the club. A large audience greeted the boys and after the concert a delightful reception and dance was given in the opera house in honor of the club, much of the credit for which delightful occasion is due Mr.W.A.DeFord, an old K.U.man.
The selection of Senator Rodgers of Washington county, instead of Prof. Olin, as announced, for the position of regent of the University, places a man on the board from the rich agricultural section of the northern portion of our state. Senator Rodgers is a firm friend of K.U. and will make a business regent who will prove of great benefit in forwarding the interests of our alma mater.
Mr. Joseph Jacobs, of Atlanta, Ga., has given to Prof. Sayre the sum of $50 to be used as a scholarship for the students in Pharmacy under Prof. Sayre's instruction. This amount is to be duplicated annually and it is the idea that the money shall not be used as a gift but in the form of a loan to be paid back when the student earns the money. The conditions upon which this will be awarded will be arranged in the near future, and will appear in the announcement of the next Pharmacy catalogue.
The Political Seminary last Friday enjoyed the reading of an elaborately prepared paper on the Government Ownership of Railroads, by Mr. Fiegenbaum. The subject was well handled and Mr. Fiegenbaum, who advocates a change in the present system of railroad management, brought out an unanswerable list of arguments and facts to support his theory. Tne usual discussion followed the reading of the paper.
On last Friday evening a number of students attended the last party given this winter by the Midnight Club of the city. A most enjoyable time was spent until 2 a.m., when the merry crowd of dancers separated, hoping to see a reorganization of the Midnight Club next winter.
FROM the Topeka Capital of Tuesday, March 7th, we clip the following which will undoubtedly be of interest to all University people:
71
The University Courier.
"The House last evening passed the Senate bill which releases from the state treasury about $16,000 of interest on the University endowment fund which has accumulated in the past two years.
"The House in committee of the whole last evening recommended for passage the state university appropriation bill. It sets apart $5,000 for conducting a geological survey of she 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 addition to the natural history museum, and $1,000 for supplies for the chemistry department. The committee also recommend 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."
From the above it will be seen that our institution has the prospect of an unprecedented liberality in financial matters. To the untiring efforts of our friends in the legislature is due the success of there necessary appropriations.
Miss Watson looks happy over the prospective $10,000 for new books for the library.
The senior laws will take up the subject of Real Property Monday, under Prof. J.W.Gleed.
There is talk of getting up an old time minstrel show, to be given during Commencement week.
The Kent Club meeting at North Cottage will be of unusual interest. The program begins at 9:30 A.M.
A very handsome gavel was turned by George Rush in the machine shops Saturday, and sent to Speaker Douglass.
The rehearsals for Twelfth Night are progressing nicely and a splendid presentation of this delightful play is fully expected.
A NUMBER of musically inclined students are singing in Prof. Penny's World's Fair chorus.
The University campus will present a very changed appearance with the erection of the three new buildings provided for in the appropriations, and Mount Oread will be the most attractive part of the city.
Mr. Frank Reed was up from Kansas City, Kansas, last week on legal business. He swapped stories with several of the old boys while in town.
The Republican club held a called meeting yesterday and elected J. A. Rush, E. E. Hopkins and J. M. Steele delegates to attend the meeting of the State Republican League at Topeka to-morrow. The resignation of Reno as treasurer was accepted and W. L. Gardner was elected to fill that office.
The popularity of "The man in the moon" is indeed surprising. Several parodies of this song have recently appeared, but perhaps none so blends its meter with the average student's sentiment as the following, which we picked up in the halls:
Everybody has his pony Underneath the rose. This peculiar sort of crony Is secret they suppose.
My pony's the best in the U,
So steadfast, so tried and so true..
My lessons it taught
My battles it fought
And many a grade at the quizzes it brought,
I never declined to construe,
For my pony, though never in view,
Assisted my thought
And in every onslaught
It was many marks at the U.
Every one who rides a pony Ought to be discreet, Chance may find the way so stony That he may lose his seat.
My pony I took to the U,
Intending a quiz to subdue.
With peril 'twas fraught .
But peril I sought,
For iron without danger or work ne'er was wrought.
My folly I always shall rue,
My pony, I bid thee adieu,
It all came to naught,
For alas I was caught,
And instantly fired from the U.

While passing two little children the other day, I heard one ask, "Are you going to Jimmie's old party?" "Ye-a," the other replied, in great surprise, "I've got to go. I'm invited." And as I went on, I thought how well this expressed the sentiments of our friends when they attend our average class-day exercises.

He was at the skating carnival, and as he glided about among the crowd of fantastic maskers, he amused himself by endeavoring to find out who each one was. Several times he was successful, and was very much pleased with his own shrewdness when he discovered that there were several boys in the company dressed as girls. Upon making this discovery he determined to follow the next couple that passed him and watch them closely. Thinking that he perceived a resemblance between the young lady and a certain boy of his acquaintance, he skated up behind her and, putting his arms around her, lifted her nearly off her feet. It is not too much to say that the young man was dumfounded when the supposed boy turned upon him and exclaimed, in a tone of scorn, "Sir!"
A restless feeling pervaded the class room as the dinner hour approached. For two long hours the physical man had remained cramped in the regulation university chair while the unwilling mind had tried to concentrate itself upon the driest text that was ever bound in sheep—the technicalities of contract-law.
The scraping of feet, the snapping of numerous watches, at last warned the professor that attention was no longer to be expected. With a reluctant hand he closed the awe-inspiring volume, but before dismissing the impatient class, he said: "Gentlemen, I am confident that you are all of the opinion that the text is somewhat ah—dry. Our recitation is long, and possibly your instructor is not as interesting as some other eminent lecturers." Cries of "hear! hear!" and loud applause interrupted the speaker at this point, but after a moment he proceeded to kill the class by relating in a pathetic voice, the following hoary headed chestnut: "I have in mind a little incident of western life which perhaps fittingly illustrates the good will you have manifested toward me. While attending divine service in Deadwood, I noticed the following sign, placed conspicuously in front of the congregation,'-Don't shoot the organist, he's doin' his best.'"
Old Aunt Sylvia is a character, especially in University society. As far back as the present generation can remember this old colored woman has been doleing out "fortunes" to University boys and girls; and these "fortunes," whether true or false, have gone forth and have influate lives of men and women-perhaps the destiny of a great state. On sunny afternoons the old crone can be seen sitting before her open doorway, basking in the sunshine. She is now bent almost double and her silvery white hair sets off in marked relief her old black wrinkled face, with its deep-set piercing little eyes. You cannot but believe there is some truly prophetic warning in her halting trembling accents, as you see her forecasting with solemn mien the destined future of perhaps the daughter of one of her former fearfully superstitious questioners.
I visited old aunt Sylvia the other afternoon with one of the most charming and yet the most thoughtless and superstitious of maidens. She was much disturbed by the gloomy forecast of her future the old crone had given her. But I somewhat allayed her fears when I reminded her that it was only a year ago that the same old woman had assured her that she could not live a year, and that she was at present a very lively corpse.

It would seem that chapel exercises are not more of a success at Northwestern University than with us. Speaking of the small attendance at chapel exercises, the Northwestern says: "Some days there has been but one member of the faculty present at chapel exercises, and it is noticeable that the seats of the upper class men are coming to be about as well filled as those of the faculty."
An exchange has the following:
But her sweetheart is the man in the moon, So I guess I am not in the race, But I'll go up in a balloon To break the old gentleman's face.
ATHLETICS.
About twenty-five men have already been dropped from the training list at Princeton.
A few more days of such weather and our athletic field will be dry enough on which to practice.

The University Courier.
Base-ball practice in the rink is going steadily on, the boys practicing right through the recent cold snap. Hand-ball is becoming quite popular and the court is occupied the greater portion of the time.
The athletic board is seriously discussing the plan of appropriating the fifty dollars remaining in the foot ball fund to the purchase of a boat for the use of the University crew. Those opposing such a measure claim that the funds belong to the use of the foot ball team and should be kept for future needs.
The Princetonian says: No base-ball games are arranged with Harvard and probably none will be, as Princeton would only play on the basis of the undergraduate rules adopted in foot-ball, and Harvard will not agree to arrange dates under this provision.
Athletics at Baker are hanging in the balance and seem to be doomed. The Methodist Episcopal conference in session there Tuesday passed a resolution denouncing athletic games, as foot ball, base ball, tennis, etc., as being detrimental and called upon the trustees of Baker to use every means in their power to discourage and abolish the same. As Baker is directly under the control of this conference, it will be seen that athletic contests with our only real rival in the state are liable to be cut off. It is hoped that such a non-progressive and highly injudicious policy will not be enforced.
The "Committee on Rules" of the National League have changed the pitcher's position, moving that noted worthy back to the center of the diamond or five feet, six inches further from the home plate than he has heretofore been. This makes the pitcher's position an unusually hard one as not only will greater strength and endurance be necessary but greater alertness in fielding "bunts" as well. The pitcher's box has been abolished and the pitcher must now stand with his foot in a twelve inch square when he delivers the ball. This may, to a certain extent, be binding the average pitcher down too closely, but it will have the effect of raising the battery percentage and sharp, clean fielding will be the feature of the game.
It seems to be quite an assured fact that in place of an American college regatta, as was proposed early in the season, an international regatta will be held. England's famous Cambridge University crew will be there, while a favorable answer is expected from Oxford University. Yale and Harvard will in all probabilities enter, and Cornell, in all her glory, will have an opportunity to get even with her Yale-Harvard friends. Time and again have the Cornell crew rowed over the Yale-Harvard courses and broken their time, and she certainly will be a great factor in the coming regatta. It is understood that the regatta will be given by sanction of the World's Fair officials and under the auspices of the Chicago Navy.
The members of the Triangular State League held their annual spring meeting at the Eldridge House, Monday afternoon, March 5th.

CLEAR, CONCISE, COMPREHENSIVE. A NEW WORK
CODE PLEADING
WITH
Forms and Directions.
By SAMUEL MAXWELL,
CHIEF JUSTICE SUPREME COURT OF NEBRASKA.
THE WORK IS DESIGNED FOR USE IN ALL CODE STATES.
The author has produced a clear, concise, practical and reliable work, adapted to all the Code States, and the decisions of the Courts of such States have been fully cited in support of the various propositions. The rules of Code pleading are stated generally, and also in particular cases both in favor of the plaintiff and defendant, and between defendants, and forms of pleading given. These forms, it is believed, cover nearly every case that may arise, either in law or equity, or both.
THE BEST WORK YET PUBLISHED ON THE SUBJECT.
Hon. David Dudley Field says: "You have written a valuable book, and done a real service to our common profession."
Hon. D. M. Valentine, of the Supreme Court of Kansas: "I find it a valuable addition to the working implements of the profession. It is just such a work as we would expect from the able, careful, and concien-tious Chief Justice of Nebraska. I recommend it to the profession."
Hon. Alfred Wallin, of the Supreme Court of North Dakota, says: "Maxwell's Code Pleading, with its valuable Appendix of Forms and Directions, impresses me very favorably. I am confident that it will aid materially in the development of pleading as a science."
Hon. B. P. Waggener, General Attorney of the Mo. Pac. R'y Co., says: I have carefully examined the work, and without hesitation pronounce it the most complete work on Code Pleadings that has come under my observation. It is indispensable to every lawyer practicing under a code, and should be in every law library. You are certainly entitled to the gratitude of the bench and bar for this great work."
It is divided into twenty-four chapters, the titles to which are as follows:
CHAPTER.
1. — The Principles of Pleading.
II. General Changes Made by the Code. III. Postscript to the Code.
III. — Parties to an Action.
IV.—Pleadings and What They Should Contain.
V. Particular Course of Action.
V.—Particular Causes of Action.
VI. Injuries of Strength.
VI.—Joinder of Causes of Action.
VII.—Local and Transitory Actions. VIII. Resilience.
VIII.—Remedy for Defects of Form in Pleading. IX. Demand the Relief.

X — The Answer.

THE TWENTY-SEVENTH annual catalogue of the University, just published, is a great improvement upon prior numbers, and its contents are certainly a source of pride to every friend of K. U. Not only have the courses of study been strengthened, but new courses have been added. The establishment of the various schools of Arts, Engineering, Pharmacy, Law, and Music and Painting, with their respective deans and faculties, gives us a system of government most desirable, and systemetizes the work of the departments. The number of students taking University instruction has reached the flattering number of 1,038, of which 309 are in University Extension classes and 729 in actual attendance at the University. This is an increase of 99 over last year's enrollment.
THE UNIVERSITY is especially fortunate in securing such favorable recognition at the hands of the legislature. While the appropriations are not as liberal as had been expected from the action of the house, yet the senate left us a larger appropriation than has hitherto been secured. The total amount placed at the disposal of the University for the coming two years, including the $92,000 in the Spooner legacy, is $334,000. Besides the regular expenses this provides for the erection of a $12,000 Chancellor's residence, a $50,000 physics and electrical engineering building, and the $80,000 Spooner Library building. The appropriation of $12,000 for a Chancellor's residence is a very fitting recognition of Chancellor Snow's efficient services, and will secure his presence near the University at all times, as this residence must be built on land belonging to the state. It is provided that Chancellor Snow may occupy it so long as he shall live, and since the $92,000 came from his uncle, this provision is eminently just. The great services of Prof. Blake have been recognized in the $50,000 building to be erected exclusively for his department. The new Spooner Library building will be a handsome structure to commemorate the splendid benefaction of Mr. Spooner. Too much credit can not be given Senator Rodgers of the senate ways and means committee and to Senator Thacher and Dr. Simmons, and to Senator Scott and the many other friends of the University. Especially good service was rendered by Chancellor Snow and Prof. Blake and Hon. S. A. Riggs, in explaining the needs of the University. With the splendid start made this year the future is bright with propitious outlook for K.U.

The University Courier.
THE MANAGEMENT of the Lecture Bureau announced last September that "the previous lecture courses under private management failed to carry out their representations and did not furnish first-class attractions, thus injuring the reputation of the University with the people of the city," to which was modestly added, "but the course this year is in perfectly responsible hands, the management represents the student body and whatever is advertised can be depended upon."
The facts are that only one member of the present bureau was elected by the student body. Two of the lecturers who have appeared on the present course could not get an audience of fifty persons, including the members of the bureau, should return dates be arranged. The Musin Concert Co. failed to appear as advertised and now Gunsaulus is not coming and no lecturer is substituted in his stead. And yet "the course this year is in perfectly responsible hands, and whatever is advertised can be depended upon."
Now the Courier does not intend any unjust criticism of the present management. Of course mistakes will be made under any management. But with a management sailing under the false colors of being representative of the student body when it is in fact made up by a faculty committee of three with full veto power upon all actions of the other members, then the students are relieved from all responsibility of such mistakes and the full criticism should fall upon the shoulders of the autocratic committee of three. That committee has proceeded upon the assumption that the student body did not know what it wanted in the way of a lecture course and as a result the student body had no voice in the selection of the attractions. Some of the entertainments have been good, but the great body of students object seriously to paying a man as a lecturer whose only qualifications are those of a classroom instructor. A public lecturer must not only instruct but he must entertain his audience. And the lecture bureau should be simply the agent of the student body in selecting and obtaining such attractions. In order to do this
the entire management should be elected by the students of all departments of the University. This might be done by schools. But however done, the members should be elected by the students who pay down the money for securing the attractions in the selection of which they would thus be given due representation, and not be subject to the rules of a faculty committee of three.
It is only fair to acknowledge that some advantage has been gained by the present management over that of last year. Two more entertainments have been added for the same price and whatever profit may accrue above expenses is to be used for extending the course next year. However, if the students are to receive the name of running the lecture bureau, the present constitution, which gives to the president absolute veto power, ought to be changed. If every student enterprise must have the faculty to dictate every detail and prescribe just what kind of entertainment shall be allowed, the very spirit of self reliance and independence, which ought to be encouraged, is suppressed by such obnoxious paternalism.
IN Professor Carruth's chapel discussion of fraternities there is much food for thought among the fraternity men of school as well as the non-fraternity men. It is a fact that the "frat" spirit of combination for the purpose of social emulation has been in some fraternities carried to an excess.
The Organization, Greek or any other, which has for its purpose the mutual help and advancement of its members, has at any rate a worthy purpose, but when the primary object is lost sight of in the attempt to shine as a leading social light by entertainments and "hops" given every other week the fraternity has become a social club.
Again it becomes evident that a certain class of youths are prone to assume an air of hauteur which the most of us supposed had been relegated to the nobility of the eastern hemisphere. That such men have received recognition from a fraternity is lamentable, but in most cases it is the fact that he has recently been initiated
85
The University Courier.
that has swelled the head of the fool in question. When a fraternity countenances or fosters that spirit in its members that leads them to believe they are a superior breed of college humanity it has lost its identity as a fraternity and becomes a society for the promulgation of conceit in a class of youths whose development in that line was already abnormal. It is indeed gratifying to notice the decrease of this species of "cad," but occasionally it is brought to our notice very forcibly.
The Courier does not intend to hit any fraternity in particular, but the tendencies enumerated exist to a certain degree in several places, and the only strength of a fraternity lies in promoting the object of its organization.
THE COURIER is fortunate enough to publish in this issue a few "Reminiscences" from the pen of that most entertaining of story-tellers, Prof. Robinson. In noting the present status of our University, and the great improvements that are contemplated for the next two years, we can hardly conceive that twenty-five years ago North College was the only University and that there were then only two members in the faculty. Such, however, was undoubtedly the case, and the incidents and events of that early period, as told by the Professor, cannot but interest and entertain our readers. We only hope this is not all of the "Reminiscences" we shall be able to publish.
THE EXTENSION movement has received the encouragement of all progressive minds throughout the state. It is reconized as filling a long felt want. The assistance to those who have been denied the privileges of university training has been highly appreciated. The fact that the English literature lectures are so well attended speaks well for the efforts of Prof. Dunlap, and gives us assurance that more than a passing interest has been awakened in the new methods of public instruction.
THE MAN with a good understanding not only stands up well but he is apt to be well up in his classes.

Mr. Farley is the first University student to occupy a Lawrence pulpit this year. He preached last Sunday evening at the Christian church.
Professor and Mrs. Green entertained the members of the senior law class last evening in that delightfully informal manner that makes the evening seem all too short.
Mrs. Dunlap addressed the University Y. W. C. A. last week on "The Power of Music." The lecture was very interesting and instructive and was much enjoyed by all present.
The Y. M. C. A. have a new notice framed and posted in the halls, announcing their regular meeting Sunday afternoon and Bible-class Saturday night. It is quite an improvement over the old notice.
Prof. Blackmar has recently forwarded to Washington for publication "A History of Higher Education in Kansas." This will make a book of about 250 pages. It will be published by the government.
The Logic class had its final examination last Monday. It is safe to assert that we shall no longer hear the astonishing facts that "Man is mortal" and that "Iron is a metal."
The regents of the University will probably have a meeting within the next two weeks to decide upon the location of the new buildings and other matters concerning the appropriations recently made by the legislature.
Prof. Blake lectured in Kansas City last Friday night. Just as he was starting from the hotel to give his lecture he received a telegram from Chancellor Snow which read:" $50,000 and $10,000. Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, K. U." This news so much pleased the Professor that he read the telegram to his audience. He says he expects to have that telegram framed and kept for a souvenir.
The Independents gave their second dance last Friday night in Fraternal Aid Hall. Promptly at half past eight fifty-five couples joined in the Grand March, keeping time to the music of Prof. Saunders' orchestra. During the evening refreshments were served at Gildner's restaurant. The young people danced till a late hour and went to their homes declaring that it was the pleasantest evening they had ever spent. The Independents are acquiring an enviable reputation as entertainers.
The Kappa Alpha Thetas held an open meeting Saturday afternoon at the home of Miss Edith Clarke. Mrs. Dr. Walker read a paper on Queen Louise. Mrs. Carruth read a poem, translated by herself, on the same subject. The Thetas went from there to Miss Haskell's and initiated Miss Dewese, Miss Taylor and Miss Towne. After these ceremonies were over the company partook of refreshments and spent the remainder of the evening telling ghost stories.
The substitution of the Lotus Glee Club in place of Mr. Gunsaulus in the lecture course will prove more acceptable than any other that could probably have been made, and the concert Saturday night by the Club will undoubtedly prove as popular as the previous entertainments by this excellent musical organization.

Our Appropriations.
The last bill appropriating money for the University for the coming two years passed the senate Friday and went to the Governor for his signature. The bills are all laws now and the University has at its disposal the handsome sum of $334,000 for its biennial expenditure. This is the largest sum ever appropriated.
The regular appropriation bill for $75,000 per year for the general expenses was passed some days ago, as was also the bill releasing the $16,000 interest on the endowment fund from the sale of public lands, and the appropriation of $4,500 for the continuation of Chancellor Snow's war of extermination on the chinch bugs. The bill giving the University the power to use the Spooner legacy of $92,000 was also passed, and provided that $12,000 should be expended upon a Chancellor's residence and $80,000 upon a library building to be known as Spooner Library building.
The bill setting aside the $12,000 for a Chancellor's residence provides that the lots upon which it is erected shall be the property of the state and the residence shall be Chancellor Snow's home so long as he shall live. The COURIER would suggest as the best site for this residence and one that will be convenient to the University, the tract of land just across Adams street from the Woodward property. This can be made a beautiful place and seems in every way adapted to the use desired. Of course the regents will select the sites of the various new buildings, but will doubtless be influenced to a certain extent by the wishes expressed by the students and alumni of the University.
The new library building will be a handsome structure costing $80,000 and will doubtless be erected north of the main building, just outside the present campus, where the hitching racks are at present. This will be a sightly place and one convenient of access to all. It will be built in accordance with the most approved methods and will contain fire-proof vaults for the books. In fact, the building will be as nearly fire proof as is possible to make it Large, well lighted reading rooms will be a pleasing feature.
Last Friday the bill appropriating $50,000 for a physics and electrical engineering building was passed, but the $20,000 chemistry building and the $15,000 machine shop appropriations failed to get through. The new electrical engineering building will be built in accordance with plans already drawn by Prof. Blake, to whose efforts this splendid structure will be a fitting testimonial, and to the work of his department it will be wholly devoted. This building will probably be located southwest of the main building, on the brow of Mt. Oread, and will occupy a commanding view. It will be used for laboratory work and for lecture rooms for the physics and electrical engineering department that has gained such prominence under the supervision of Prof. Blake. All the new buildings will be lighted from the University electric light plant and Prof. Blake intends making the lighting of the new library building one of its attractive features.
The legislature also passed a general expense bill for $21,500. It provides $1,500 for a new boiler for the engine house. $5,000 each year for supplies for the physical and electrical engineering department, $2,500 each year for books for the library, $1,000 each year for chemistry supplies, and $1,000 each year for additions to the natural history museum.
Prof. Carruth gave a series of practical talks in chapel last week. He mentioned several ways in which the student might improve himself and help to raise the standard of the University. It is the duty of every student to be loyal to the University, because he is a citizen of the state and he receives the benefit of the institution. All of our actions should be governed by the Golden Rule. The students should not neglect so much the rules of etiquette, both in and out of the building. This negligence is especially noticeable in regard to making calls. Many of the students have gotten in the way of thinking that when they are invited anywhere it is not necessary to make any recognition of the hospitality other than to go at the time they are invited. The student, as well as any member of the Four-Hundred, should pay the respect of
88
The University Courier.
a call to any one who entertains him. The Professor assured the students that there was not a member of the faculty who would not at any time be glad to receive a call from any of them. It is not necessary for the growth of the University to hinder the intimacy of faculty and students. This association is one of the great advantages of college life.
Then there should be more regard for the property of others. Many students have lost property in the building through either the carelessness or malice of others. To guard against this it would pay the students to form a Students' Protective Association, the object of which would be the mutual protection of property. A committee of students might be appointed whose special business it was to look after things in the halls, or each student might be charged a small sum and a man hired to take care of things. The Professor also has several other plans which could be discussed if a meeting were called for that purpose.

Reminiscences.
A long time ago, in the high-school days of the University, when seniors were deep in embryo and freshmen scarcely sprouted, and no "prep." as yet parted his hair in the middle, there came one day to the city a whole train load of congressmen. Of course they visited the University, as our citizens were proud to display the best educational facilities of the state. Our commodious quarters (old north college), and the beautiful views from the "dome" were eagerly shown to the visiting statesmen, and each received due meed of praise.
The "nucleus" of our valuable library, our cabinet case of minerals and fossils, bought perhaps in Germany; the equipments of our chemical and physical laboratories, stored in one corner of the recitation room; our natural history collection, consisting of two stuffed ducks, a bull-snake, and two or three cases of tired looking insects, having all been duly inspected and variously commented upon by our distinguished visitors, several of them proceeded to enlighten us on the proper way to plan and build a great university.
The professors were then about as young and boyish looking as their pupils. A large, pompous statesman, addressing the senior professor, informed him in a very authoritative tone, admitting of no contradiction, that the people of this country wanted no more Greek nor Latin, nor anything else from those old worn-out civilizations—"It is time to lay such rubbish in the dust bin of antiquity. We must turn our eyes, not to the past, but towards the future. We must now recognize the claims of science, literature, history,—not the history of the mouldy past, but our own glorious, living history."
Unfortunately the rest of the scheme was left undeveloped; for just then, noticing the rest of the faculty present standing near, he said: "Ah, I beg your pardon; perhaps I ought not to talk this way before one of your pupils." "O,
89
The University Courier.
don't stop, Senator," said the rest of the faculty, "none of our pupils are present. I am only the professor of Mathematics and Astronomy, Physics, Engineering, Chemistry, Botany, Geology, Zoölogy, Entomology, and a few other little things of this sort. Pray, go on, Senator, I enjoy your talk immensely, I assure you." "Why, I thought you a student, surely," said he. "And so I am," replied the rest of the faculty, "and one of the big guns of this institution, too." The senator soon had business down at the hotel, and we never saw him again.
When we came down the stairway, old Ben Wade stood in the North door, looking with thoughtful gaze over the beautiful valley and the far-away hills. As we passed we heard him say, "And this, then, is that beautiful land which we fought so long to save for freedom! Well, it was worth the fight." Soon the excursion passed on west to the buffalo country. Statesmen and buffaloes then were frequently seen upon the plains of Kansas. The species had not yet become extinct. But that was long ago! D. H. R.
Language Conference meets this afternoon at 4 o'clock in the Greek room. Prof. Wilcox will read a paper on "Some Biblical Parallels to Homer," and Prof. Carruth on "M. Gouin's Patent Method of Learning Languages."
A few days ago Mr. Fanshawe, of London called on Prof. Blackmar for the purpose of gaining information on the Prohibition laws of Kansas. Mr. Fanshawe is sent out by a member of parliament to gather information with a view to parliamentary legislation. He was introduced by James Bryce, M. P.
The Seminary last Friday took for the subject of discussion, Taxation. A paper prepared by Mr. W. H. Piatt was read by Mr. R. D. O'Leary. The question is one of great interest to all economists and did not fail to bring out an unusual amount of discussion. Inasmuch as the athletic author of the paper was not present, the criticism was rather severe and there was a manifest tendency to question statements made in the paper, which, had Mr. Piatt been present, might possibly have been satisfactorily answered.
ATHLETICS.
Do not fail to attend the indoor meet.
Manager Adams has bulletined a notice to the effect that all base ball men must report to him the positions for which they are trying before Saturday evening, March 18th.
Eastern inter-collegiate athletics are in a pretty state of affairs. Harvard, too, must be mixed up in it and now comes forward and submits a set of rules which clearly outline her position on the subject of foot ball. They are very similar to the rules advanced by other colleges.
Princeton has refused to play base ball with Harvard and University of Pennsylvania except on a strictly undergraduate basis and as neither of the named colleges will consent to this there will be no games with Princeton. Yale and Princeton, however, have decided to play according to undergraduate rules.
As the original grading on the athletic field was done last season the ground has settled in many places and the field is in consequence rather rough. For the past week workmen have been engaged in putting the grounds in proper shape. The base ball diamond has been rolled and will shortly be leveled. Cinders for the running track are being hauled from the University shops and the track will soon be in condition to run on. Our boys may well be proud of the athletic grounds.
At a meeting of the Athletic Association on Monday, March 13th, a proposition was placed before the association as to the advisability of holding an indoor meet. The plan at once met with favor and Profs. Adams and Shepard were given entire management of a coming event which will be the first of its kind ever held in Kansas. The reasons for holding the meet are many but the paramount objects are to arouse an interest and get the men in readiness for the field-day exercises later in the season, as well as to obtain money for the Athletic Association. Once more a new step

is being taken by our association which shows the steady but healthy growth of athletics in our University. K. U. has ever persisted in raising the standard of athletics, and advancement in this line the past year or two has been something wonderful.
The meet will be held on Friday evening, March 24th, in the rink on Kentucky street. The rink is especially fitted for an evening of this kind, as the galleries will afford ample room for the spectators. The place will be well heated and lighted, and every one made as comfortable as possible. In preparation of this meet notices have been posted which give the list of events and asking all candidates to hand in their names to Profs. Adams and Shepard by Saturday evening in order that programs may be made out and then printed. No entrance fee will be charged competitors. An interesting program will be given in which many of our best athletes will take part. The following is a list of events which will be given,
10 yard dash, 15 yard dash, 20 yard dash short hurdle race-2 hurdles, half mile walk high jump, running jump, standing jump, broad jump without weights, hitch and kick, putting the shot, parallel bars-competitive exhibition wrestling match, catch as catch can, exhibition game of hand ball between picked teams. An explanation of the game will be given by one of the managers.

CLEAR, CONCISE, COMPREHENSIVE. A NEW WORK
CODE PLEADING
WITH
Forms and Directions.
By SAMUEL MAXWELL, CHIEF JUSTICE SUPREME COURT OF NEBRASKA.
THE WORK IS DESIGNED FOR USE IN ALL CODE STATES.
The author has produced a clear, concise, practical and reliable work, adapted to all the Code States, and the decisions of the Courts of such States have been fully cited in support of the various propositions. The rules of Code pleading are stated generally, and also in particular cases both in favor of the plaintiff and defendant, and between defendants, and forms of pleading given. These forms, it is believed, cover nearly every case that may arise, either in law or equity, or both.
THE BEST WORK YET PUBLISHED ON THE SUBJECT.
Hon. David Dudley Field says: "You have written a valuable book, and done a real service to our common profession."
Hon. D. M. Valentine, of the Supreme Court of Kansas; "I find it a valuable addition to the working implements of the profession. It is just such a work as we would expect from the able, careful, and concientious Chief Justice of Nebraska. I recommend it to the profession."
Hon. Alfred Wallin, of the Supreme Court of North Dakota, says: "MAXWELL'S CODE PLEADING, with its valuable Appendix of Forms and Directions, impresses me very favorably. I am confident that it will aid materially in the development of pleading as a science."
Hon. B. P. Waggener, General Attorney of the Mo. Pac. R'y Co., says: I have carefully examined the work, and without hesitation pronounce it the most complete work on Code Pleadings that has come under my observation. It is indispensable to every lawyer practicing under a code, and should be in every law library. You are certainly entitled to the gratitude of the beach and bar for this great work."
It is divided into twenty-four chapters, the titles to which are as follows:
CHAPTER.
I. The Principles of Pleading.
II.—General Changes Made by the Code.
III. — Parties to an Action.
IV. — Pleadings and What They Should Contain.

VI.—Joinder of Causes of Action.
VII.—Local and Transitory Actions.
VIII.—Remedy for Defects of Form in Pleading.
X. The Answer.
IX. Demurrer to the Petition or Complaint.
XII. - - Counter-claim and Set-off.
XI. —Particular Defenses.

THE APPROBATION given by students and townspeople to the stand taken by the COURIER on the present lecture bureau management is an evidence that there must be a change in the constitution, so that those who pay their money may have the privilege of selecting the attractions and not be dictated to by a faculty committee.
JUST WHY the faculty appointments for commencement were rushed through with such unseemly haste is cause of much comment at the University. The senior class had requested that no appointments be made by the faculty until after an effort had been made to secure some distinguished speaker to deliver a commencement address and thus do away with the alleged orations sprung upon the public by so-called orators. The faculty not only paid no attention to this request as presented by a committee from the senior class, but proceeded to make the appointments in direct opposition to that request. And these appointments were autocratically made a full month earlier than usual, without allowing the members of the class the time-honored privilege of handing in orations to contest for the places of honor. Not only this, but the plan that proved so acceptable last year, of having but one commencement day, in the exercises of which representatives of the various schools should participate, was, for some unknown reason, dropped, and a commencement day for each school of the University was decided upon.
But it was decided that the commencement day should be given exclusively to the School of Arts. Just why the School of Arts should be considered as being superior to the Schools of Engineering, Law, Pharmacy and Music, and therefore entitled to higher honor, is not self-evident and needs some explanation. The students of the School of Engineering do as much work to secure their diplomas as do the students of the School of Arts. The School of Law would, from its very nature, furnish cred-

itable men on a commencement program, while the Schools of Music and of Pharmacy could certainly furnish one representative who would compare favorably with the speakers from the other schools. If these schools cannot do this, then what a farce it is to hold a commencement day for each of them, upon which they must furnish not one, but all the speakers. Perhaps two of the speakers should be from the School of Arts and one from each of the other schools, but one thing is certain, and that is that there should be but one commencement day and that should be participated in by all the schools of the University and not be given up entirely to a select and favored one. Not only is it absurd to have so many commencement days, but it is burdensome in expense and in waste of time.
If, however, it is persisted in having the graduates speak on commencement day, then let the faculty choose orators and not allow personal preferences to over-ride judgment. But it is almost an impossibility to get orators when no oratorical training is given. And it is cruelty to the graduate to compel him to exhibit his profound ignorance of the elementary principles of oratory, and perhaps of his subject as well, before an audience that sits in silent sympathy, hoping the poor unfortunate will get through all right. How much better it would be to do away with this high school custom and secure a Russell, or a McKinley, or a Sherman, or a Watterson to deliver a commencement address that would attract the attention not only of the entire state, but also of neighboring states and would serve to bring the people into a closer relationship with the University as an active, potential element for intellectual advancement. This is not done under the present method. And for that reason, if for no other, there should be a radical change.
WHEN we see a loving college couple in a ball room making their way with joyful steps toward the sequestered recess of a curtained alcove, we may liken the circumstance to a newspaper edition,—it always goes to press before coming out.
THE FASHIONABLE expansion in female dress, which is determined to stick out somewhere, has completed the circuit. The crinoline is upon our sisters and other sisters. For the last few years the rougher sex has been compelled to endure a blockade of all vision at a theatre. When they couldn't prevent us from seeing occasionally by squinting under the wide rimmed hat and over the shoulder, some female or other, with malice aforethought, inflated her shoulders until there was no possibility of seeing anything in an opera house but our next neighbor and the ceiling.
Don't be so foolish, fellow sufferers, as to raise any kick about hoops or crinoline. In 1711 a big howl was introduced by Sir Richard Steele in the columns of the Spectator about the new fashion of hoop skirts, but if he had been compelled to sit two or three hours at a stretch in the old Globe theatre without seeing anything of the stage excepting the upward gestures of the actors, or the toes of the high kicker, he would have said, "Ladies, I retract; the hoop skirt is the neatest, coolest, most becoming, and most sweeping invention that has been recorded in the annals of fig leaf history."
Two centuries and three-quarters have been consumed in this revolution of the "stick-out." A decisive epoch in our history has been reached, and if the bulge in the skirt will only absorb the bulge in the hat and shoulders, there is indeed cause for masculine rejoicing.
STEPS SHOULD be taken to see that the North college is put in a better state of repair. The masonry is old and unsafe, great cracks are outlined in the plastering from top to bottom and it is decidedly unpleasant to contemplate the collapse of a quarter section of plastering on the heads of the legal aspirants. About four square yards of ceiling dropped last Thursday in the front room of the library, but fortunately no one was hurt. The building should be repaired at once; the law must be respected.
ON THE same day of the month in which a man conceives that he is the possessor of a vast fund of knowledge, the general public becomes cognizant of the fact that he is a fool.

Hereafter every one who wishes to get seats reserved for the lecture course must get his position and keep it. No one will be allowed to secure a place and then go home and get his breakfast and come back to the position he left.
The next attraction on the lecture course will be Mr. Leland T. Powers, next Monday evening. He is an impersonator of world-wide reputation and comes with the highest recommendations. He will give "David Garrick." It is very amusing and will please those who enjoy a good laugh.
St. Patrick's Day has come and gone and no one was killed. There was no such excitement this year as there was last. The law students tried to retaliate for last year's grievances by coming to main building and carrying off the University boys' hats. But this was a small matter; the University boys wanted new spring hats, any way. There was a little "quiet" snowballing in the halls and a few "scraps" over green ribbon, but in general the day passed in peace.
Twelfth Night will be given April 7 and 8. W. M. Curry is taking domestic chemistry.
It is rumored that the Independents are to give a box party at Twelfth Night.
Fred Funston will start for the interior of Alaska next week as the special agent of the government agricultural department.

The Courier has a fine bicycle for sale and any one wishing one will do well to see the business manager before purchasing. You cannot fail to be suited.
If you do not receive your COURIER regularly, or if the editors say anything that you do not like, make your "kick" to the business manager. All perquisites are due him.
Mr. Winter read a paper Monday before the advanced Political Economy class on the pooling system in railroads. Mr. Winter produced a strong argument in support of pools.
The other day one of the senior botany students swallowed an ounce of corrosive sublimate without experiencing the slightest inconvenience. Prohibition will work wonders.
Only one ticket was returned to the lecture bureau on account of dissatisfaction with the substitution of the Lotus Glee Club for Dr. Gunsaulus. A discount of $25.00 was received from the club by securing them at this time. The proceeds from the sale of seats amounted to $25.00, making a total net gain of $49.75 which amount will be expended by the lecture bureau for other attractions, next year.

The following extraordinary piece of conversation was overheard the other day : F. A. L. — "How much do you save by being married?" Mr. B.—"About $400.00" F. A. L.—"Great Scott!!"
The Historical Seminary will discuss the divorce question Friday afternoon. The following papers will be read: Divorce Statistics of the United States-Miss Radford. Causes of Divorce-Miss Hardy. Remedies of the Evil-Miss Tinsley.
The Y. W. C. A. held its election last week. The following are the officers for the remainder of the year: President, Miss Kate Riggs; Vice President, Miss Mary Snow; Recording Secretary, Miss Eva Gill; Corresponding Secretary, Miss Winifred Churchill; Treasurer, Miss Clara Bosworth.
The Athletic Association will present Twelfth Night, Friday and Saturday evenings, April 7 and 8. A number of classes and fraternities are making arrangements to give theatre and box parties and it promises to be the most important social, literary and dramatic event of the University year.
Steps are being taken by some members of the faculty to arrange for a celebration of Arbor Day. The object is to plant a row of trees on both sides of the avenue leading from the main building toward North College. The plan is to get all of the students interested, if possible, and have every one connected with the University turn out and assist, at least by their p resence. The Douglas County Horticultural Association is willing to help and if the students take it up it is believed that a fine avenue can be made with but little trouble to any one. It is also believed that such an undertaking would be the means of doing much good on account of the enthusiasm it would develope in the students. A mass meeting of the students will probably be called in the near future for the purpose of having committees appointed and to get the sentiment of the students on the question.
Johns Hopkins makes an examination in athletics a requirement for graduation.
Prof. Dunlap will deliver an address on "English in the High School," before the Northeast Kansas Teachers' Association, which will be held in Holton, April 20, 21 and 22.
The Theta Fraternity has decided to give its "Annual Party" on Friday evening, May 5th. Those who, by good fortune, were present at the last year's entertainment, are not likely to soon forget the pleasant evening spent. The Thetas are royal entertainers and an invitation to their party means an evening of perfect pleasure.
The leading candidate for the position of superintendent of Haskell Institute is Mr. W. H. Sears, who finished a special course in K. U. and graduated from the Ann Arbor law school. Mr. Sears is well qualified for the position, having served as assistant superintendent some time, and his appointment would reflect credit upon our University.
The Lotus Glee Club gave its third entertainment in Lawrence last Saturday night before a large audience. The entire program was of the highest order and every piece received a hearty encore. The audience was more pleased with the club than ever. Miss Minnie Marshall is certainly an artist. Her rendering of each selection was above criticism, but "The Marriage of the Flowers" was the most taking, on account of the peculiar melody of the piece and the many graceful attitudes assumed in its delivery.
Comforting Reflections of a Nonentity.
I cannot boast of learning deep,
Nor can I much to art aspire ;
My poetry loses me no sleep,
Nor oratory's burning fire.
I do not row upon the crew,
Nor on th' eleven glory win ;
I am not of the chosen few
Who sing and play the mandolin.
I am not any social star,
But then—within my certain knowledge,
Like me, unknown to fame there are
Some fifteen hundred men in college.—Ex.

Negatives.
As I came up on the hill the other morning, a damp, heavy fog hung over the landscape and completely filled the valley beneath me with its misty dimness. Even the University buildings were veiled in whiteness; their rugged outlines being only faintly visible, as here and there they pierced the fog. Everything was dripping wet and disagreeable.
As I neared the old stand tower the fog seemed suddenly to recede and the great red structure stood forth in strange relief before me. I glanced up at its dripping sides and to my great surprise distinctly made out the following sentences, printed in white paint, which the tower's previous coats of red had not entirely obliterated:
"Who stole the book?"
"Who got egged?"
"Who voted for himself?"
As I read these strange inscriptions a host of swift and vivid recollections passed before my mind and I mentally experienced again the exciting times and events which those words recalled. I saw again the fierce excitement in the halls on that eventful morning after "the book was stolen," and again heard the emphatic epithets and maledictions which were rife after that "egging party," and that spurious election was held. And above all I recalled the vast importance that was attached to the events of that momentous period, and remember with what deep respect the "preps" then held the big men of the school. But alas! How fleeting is fame! Few are there now who even know to what those inscriptions refer, and yet it was only four or five years ago that they were of the greatest moment. As I plodded along through the fog, I could not escape the thoughts: What mountains we make of mole-hills! How quick are forgotten the great men and the great events at college! Then all is change. Men come and go—are all-important for awhile, then pass away and are forgotten. 'Tis then as at sea, when "the quick returning waters smooth out every ripple and leave the place as if it had not been."
It was a wet, sloppy day, and as I was hurrying along to gain some shelter from the chilly, drizzling rain, I noticed two well-dressed matronly looking ladies standing on the street corner. They were most intensely engaged in conversation, and I wondered greatly what momentous question it was that kept them out in the rain. But my curiosity was satisfied, for as I passed I heard one of them remark, "And what do you think! She led back a three spot of diamonds to my trump lead!"
They were sterilizing some glass tubes in the bacteriological laboratory and in order that the corrosive sublimate solution should flow through them it was necessary that it be sucked up by means of a little rubber tubing. A sensitive, nervous fellow, but one deeply interested in the sciences, undertook this delicate task. He had succeeded very well with one or two and was busy with a third when something out of the window attracted his attention, forgetting himself for a moment, he raised his head and took in a deep breath and at the same time about half a pint of the deadly liquid. Coughing and spitting, he hastened to the faucet and proceeded to gulp down cup after cup of water. As he sank into a chair he grew dreadfully pale and almost fainted away. There is very little sympathy in a laboratory either for the awkward or the unfortunate. He was cheered but little by the solicitous queries of his companions, if he felt "any worse now?" and the side remarks that he was "getting awfully pale," etc. Nor did he seem much pleased by the suggestion that he was now completely sterilized and that bacteria would not thrive on him now whether dead or alive. When the Professor came in he apprised him of his mishap. In an indifferent way the professor looked him over, inquired how much he had swallowed and proceeded to examine the solution. "I guess you'll come around all right Mr. B." he remarked, "I find you have been sterilizing these tubes with the soap and water I washed my hands in instead of the corrosive sublimate."

ATHLETIGS.
Thirty candidates will enter for the indoor meet.
As usual, and with true college spirit, Sherman has entered for nearly everything on the lists.
The University of Chicago base-ball nine has received 150 applications for games next summer.
The students of Midland College, Atchison, Kansas, soon hope to erect a gymnasium. The architect's plan calls for a $1,200 building and $700 has already been raised.
The indoor meet, to be held to-morrow evening, promises to be the social athletic affair of the season. All colleges of note hold these meets during the early spring months, in order that the strength of the colleges may be measured for their field day exercises.
The half mile walk promises to be an event of unusual interest. Kelsey, Harvey, Bowersock, Evans, Jno. Rush, Elmer Riggs, Daniels and Mustard have entered. College political party enthusiasm will in all probability run high when Rush, Rep., Mustard, Dem., and Daniels, the pride of the People's party boys go tramping round the track.
Within the past week the base-ball diamond has been staked out, but owing to the recent snows it has been impossible to have it leveled. This can be done with but little work and when completed we will have one of the fastest diamonds in the state. The cold snap, together with the snow storm, has been quite a drawback to many of our base-ball players, as out-door practice had to be suspended. However, practice is steadily going on in the rink and much development can be seen in individual players. As we have said in a previous article, competition for positions on the team will be rife. We are glad to note that the number of candidates for in-field positions is unusually large, which shows interest and enthusiasm, as well as the fact that the best material is being brought out.
When an indoor meet was first spoken of, it was questionable in the minds of some as to whether or not it would be received with favor. At present there is no doubt but that the meet will be a success and, moreover, pave the way to the establishmeet of a yearly event of this kind. No sooner were bulletins posted than did our best athletes express their intention of entering the contest. No one event will lack in interest or in number of contestants. The event and number of men who have entered for it will be found below :

The 10,15 and 20 yard dashes will be run in heats. Four men will probably run in each heat and the winners of the different heats run in the final heat. The men who win second place in the heats will then run to see who represent the second place men in the final heat.
An indoor meet is one of the most pleasant affairs but to assure success and add life and enthusiasm to an affair of this kind the student body must be present to prove by heavy cheers and unlimited enthusiasm that the event is one of their own making and that upon them rests the responsibility as to whether the first indoor meet, in the history of K. U. shall be a success. To be a success the same enthusiasm which prevails at a foot ball or base ball contest, must be manifested. Without this the meet must be purposeless and stupid and utterly devoid of that spirit which so strongly characterizes American Universities.
Much more might be said in connection with this new departure, nevertheless we thoroughly believe that the success of the event is assured as it is held at the time of the year when every one may witness an exhibition of college sport under the most comfortable circumstances.

The University of Missouri did not fare very sumptuously at the hand of the legislature this year. Her appropriation was only $15,000, whereas $46,000 was asked for. An appropriation, however, of $250,000 for a main building was made.

COLUMBIA COLLEGE IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK.
COLUMBIA COLLEGE IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK at the present time consists of the SCHOOL OF ARTS, the original college, founded in 1754; of sundry professional schools, to wit: the SCHOOL OF LAW, the SCHOOL OF MINES, and the COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS, admission to all of which, as candidates for professional degrees, is open to all students, whether or not they are college-bred men; and of the UNIVERSITY FACULTIES OF LAW, MEDICINE, MINES (Applied Science), POLITICAL SCIENCE, PHILOSOPHY and Pure Science, which conduct all courses leading to the University degrees of MASTER OF ARTS and DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY.
The point of contact between the college and the university is the senior year in the School of Arts, during which year students in the School of Arts pursue their studies, with the consent of the Faculty of Arts, under one or more of the University faculties.
The various schools are under the charge of their own Faculties, and for the better conduct of the strictly university work, as well as of the whole institution, a University Council has been established.
I. THE SCHOOL OF ARTS.
The School of Arts, or the college proper, has a curriculum of four years' duration, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Candidates for admission to the Schools of Arts must be at least fifteen years of age and pass an examination on prescribed subjects, the particulars concerning which may be found in the annual Circular of Information.
II. THE UNIVERSITY FACULTIES.
The University Faculties of Law, Medicine, Mines (Applied Science), Political Science, Philosophy and Pure Science, taken together constitute the University. These University Faculties offer advanced courses of study and investigation, respectively, in (a) Private or Municipal Law, (b) Applied Science, (c) History, Economics and Public Law, (d) Philosophy, Philology, and Letters and (e) Mathematics and Natural Science. Courses of study under one or more of these University Faculties are open to members of the senior class in the School of Arts and to all students who have successfully pursued an equivalent course of under-graduate study to the close of the junior year. These lead, through the bachelors' degree, to the university degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy.
III. THE PROFESSIOFAL SCHOOLS.
The professional schools are the schools of Law, Mines, and Medicine, to which all students, as well those not having pursued a course of under-graduate study as those who have, are admitted on terms prescribed by the faculty of each school as candidates for professional degrees.
1. The School of Law, established is 1858, offers a three years course of study in common Law and equity jurisprudence, medical jurisprudence, criminal and constitutional law, international law, public and private, and comparative jurisprudence.The degree of Bachelor of Laws is conferred on the satisfactory completion of the course.
2. The School of Mines, established 1864, offers the following courses of study, each of four years duration, and each leading to an appropriate professional degree, namely, mining engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, metallurgy, geology and paleontology, analytical and applied chemistry, architecture; and, as a graduate course of two years' duration and leading to an appropriate degree, sanitary engineering.
3. The College of Physicians and Surgeons offers a three years course of study in the principles and practice of medicine and surgery, leading to the degree of Doctor of Medicine (M.D.)

CLEAR, CONCISE, COMPREHENSIVE. A NEW WORK
CODE PLEADING
WITH
Forms and Directions.
By SAMUEL MAXWELL, CHIEF JUSTICE SUPREME COURT OF NEBRASKA.
THE WORK IS DESIGNED FOR USE IN ALL CODE STATES.
The author has produced a clear, concise, practical and reliable work, adapted to all the Code States, and the decisions of the Courts of such States have been fully cited in support of the various propositions. The rules of Code pleading are stated generally, and also in particular cases both in favor of the plaintiff and defendant, and between defendants, and forms of pleading given. These forms, it is believed, cover nearly every case that may arise, either in law or equity, or both.
THE BEST WORK YET PUBLISHED ON THE SUBJECT.
Hon. David Dudley Field says: "You have written a valuable book, and done a real service to our common profession."
Hon. D. M. Valentine, of the Supreme Court of Kansas: "I find it a valuable addition to the working implements of the profession. It is just such a work as we would expect from the able, careful, and conccientious Chief Justice of Nebraska. I recommend it to the profession."
Hon. Alfred Wallin of the Supreme Court of North Dakota, says: "MAXWELL'S CODE PLEADING, with its valuable Appendix of Forms and Directions, impresses me very favorably. I am confident that it will aid materially in the development of pleading as a science."
Hon. B. P. Waggener, General Attorney of the Mo. Pac.

REPEATED FAILURE is the price of every ultimate success.
THE COURAGE of persistence is the strong factor in the attainment of of every high or worthy aim.
THE SEVERAL addresses which have been delivered before the law school this year have been excellent in every respect. The Dean is certainly to be congratulated upon his success in this line. The next address will be given by Mr.S.W.Moore of Kansas City on the subject of railroad law. Mr. Moore is a graduate of the institution and occupies the position of assistant attorney for the Santa Fe railroad in Missouri. We may safely predict an interesting address.
THE SOCIETIES of the University are gradually manifesting a renewed interest in literary work. No branch has been more neglected and none is more applicable to the necessities of practical education.
The Seminary, Language Conferenc, Adelphic and Kent Club are all well attended and there is a notably increased merit in the programs presented by these societies. The advantages of active membership in a wide-awake literary society is not impressed strongly enough on the students. The superficial discussion of any subject should be prohibited, but a scholarly treatment of the facts, whether in debate or an address affords a most excellent training to any one with enough energy to take hold in earnest.
The necessity of the ability to think logically and clearly, while addressing either a company at dinner or a crowded hall is growing every day. Over fifty per cent. of the public offices and positions of trust in the civilized world are held by college bred men, and nearly every man in such positions has felt the need of the ability to speak in public without embarassment or hesitation.
The want of proper training in this line is one of the most deplorable defects in our University, and the literary or debating society affords the only means of acquiring such training.
The oratorical star of the world is declining. The flights of brilliant oratory, which have characterized the bygone centuries of war, reformation and political agitation, find no necessity for existence in quiet and prosperous advancement of the present day, but instead
116
The University Courier.
there has arisen the imperative necessity of hearing many opinions from the best informed men. Unless some proficiency in speaking has been acquired, the most interesting subject will become tedious to an audience, and on the other hand the man who is not only conversant with his subject but has enjoyed the instruction and training in the art of impromptu speaking is doubly armed.
The literary society is a valuable part of such training and no student can afford to neglect the opportunity offered by membership in such societies.
THE COURIER takes pride in presenting its readers this week with twenty pages instead of sixteen pages as heretofore. This enlargement is permanent and has become a necessity in order to meet the demands for advertising space, and at the same time give that attention to matters of University interest that should be be properly given. The new Courier has proven itself a success beyond the expectations of its most sanguine supporters. But with new successes come new aspirations, and other and greater improvements are in contemplation.
CHANCELLOR SNOW makes the following statement: "The faculty of the University has not endorsed any University paper, nor is it financially responsible for any University paper nor is it authorized to show its preference for any University paper. Reports to the contrary are entirely unfounded." The agents of the "opposition weekly" will take notice and hereafter confine themselves to the truth.
THE ACTION of the Athletic Association in voting to devote the entire proceeds from Twelfth Night to gymnasium fund is a step in the right direction, as is also the decision to set aside fifty per cent. of all future athletic receipts to the same purpose. It is understood that $700 is already pledged from one public spirited citizen toward the erection of gymnasium and that others will follow.
THE LEGISLATURE at its recent session passed a bill of great importance to the University, that has escaped general notice. This bill provides that all graduates of the University shall be entitled to a three years state teacher's certificate upon passing the required examination in the Philosophy of Education, History of Education, School Laws, and Government and Methods of Teaching. If two of the three years shall be spent in successful teaching then the state board shall issue a life certificate. Heretofore only graduates of the State Normal were given life certificates except upon passing the examinations prescribed by the state board. By the new law the University is placed upon an equal footing, in this respect, with the State Normal, and rightly too, for the training given at the University is far superior to that at the Normal. For this very reason it is highly probable that a large percentage of those fitting themselves for the vocation of teaching will do so at the University where the advantages offered are the best in the state. In this way not only will the attendance at the University be largely increased, but the standard of instruction throughout the state will be raised.
THE SUCCESSFUL issue of the athletic meet last Friday is the result not only of the increasing interest manifested by the student body in athletics, but also to the combined efforts of Mr. Adams and Mr. Shepherd to promote the definite movement in athletic interest which is characterizing the growth of our institution. To witness the magnificent contests of physical excellence, one must feel that the training which develops such physical prowess is certainly worthy of a prominent place in the make up of every progressive educational institution. The winter meet will be henceforth an established custom and will be hailed as the only event in an otherwise dull time of year for the athletes.
FROM THE heights to which some of the students elevated their toes in the kicking contest it is evident that fate has deprived them of a remunerative vocation by creating them of the masculine gender.

Several persons entered the athletic contest and after getting their admission free, various and numerous physical disabilities prevented them from contesting. Did they enter the list for the free admission, or did they withdraw from cowardice or disability?
Pharmacy appointments are W. E. Wilson for oration and Youngberg for thesis.
Some of the boys in the Engineering department are getting quite expert in the use of the barometer.
Jansen and several students of the Engineering department will make a typographical survey of the grounds of Haskell Institute during vacation.
The story is going the rounds of the Kansas press that the World's Fair commissioners have given Prof. Dyche the privilege of selling his book on "Travels and Hunts" on the grounds. This statement is entirely wrong. On the other hand, they refused him the privilege.
The COURIER's words of caution to avoid the frequency of hops seem to have been well taken. It is rumored that the hops which had been arranged for every Friday evening until the close of school, have been indefinitely postponed. Great indeed is the COURIER!
The School of Law commencement will be held on Tuesday, June 6. The following appointments have been announced by the faculty for the commencement day exercises : Orations, Rush, Crawford and Byrnes; theses, Tatman, Homer and Parrot; debate, Morgan and McGrath.
Prof. Dyche writes that last Sunday 15,000 people saw the Kansas exhibit and are well pleased with the "Wild West Show" from Kansas.

Archie Hogg has taken charge of the Literary and Exchange columns for a few weeks. Any favors shown him will be appreciated by the management.
The Kappas will give their annual June party at J. D. Bowersock's, the 2nd of June. This will be the leading society event of the season and it is safe to say that those who are fortunate enough to be there will long remember the ocassion.
The May issue of the Western Druggist will contain an illustrated article on the School of Pharmacy of the University of Kansas. The illustrations will give the chemical building, Snow Hall, and perhaps the main building and members of the faculty. The article is to be contributed by the editor of that journal who is at the entire expense of getting up the plates.
The Athletic Association at its Tuesday's meeting decided to appropriate the net proceeds of Twelfth Night to a permanent gymnasium fund. It also seemed to be the sense of the Board that fifty per cent of the net proceeds of each year's work should go to this fund. This is an important and much needed step and it is hoped that while the building boom is on Oread's heights the gymnasium may be erected.
Mr. Leland T. Powers, the seventh attraction in the lecture course, gave a most delightfully entertaining impersonation of David Garrick, at the opera house, Monday evening, before a crowded house. Mr. Powers is an actor, and as an entertainer has few equals. If the lecture bureau would secure such attractions instead of those that have been thrust upon the public under the guise of lectures, there would be no dissatisfaction.
Last Saturday evening the gentlemen of Sigma Nu fraternity entertained their friends in their hall. At 8.30 the sweet strains of Saunders music invited the guests to the merry dance which all enjoyed until time told of the parting of the old and the coming of a new day when all reluctantly left the hall.
The Lecture Bureau wishes to announce that Musin will be here May 5th, the Courier permitting.
The Senior Pharmics had a quiz in physiological chemistry and microscopy on Tuesday. There has been more artistic work done in mounting microscopic slides than ever before.
Prof. Sayer has received from many sources in Kansas, Texas and Colorado, a specimen of a root which invariably turns out to be derived from the same plant, Echinacia Augustifolia. The professor is asked in every case the following question: "What is the medicinal value of this root? Around here the people are gathering it and sending it to a certain manufacturer of medicine. What is its value? We are offered from 20 to 25 cents per pound for all we can gather."
One of the most practical and interesting lectures yet delivered before the members of the law school was that given by Mr. Bruno Hobbs, of Kansas City, Kas., Tuesday evening, on the subject of Corporations. After sketching the history of corporations, Mr. Hobbs proceeded to the formation of a corporation among the members of the school and gave a practical illustration of this important branch of a lawyer's duties, that served to impress itself upon the minds of all the followers of Blackstone. Mr. Hobbs is a graduate of our law school and is rapidly pushing to the front in his profession.
Every student in the University should cast his vote in the city election for the mayor and councilman who will see that there is at least one sidewalk to the University which would be within gazing distance of respectability. The students of the University ought to vote as a unit; their interests are identical and the solid vote of the students can decide this election, but divided by political lines they cannot change the result. Let the students demand their rights as a unit and vote in the same manner, and such willing tools of the ward heeler as J. Ira Brown will be relegated to the dusty shades of oblivion and the pleasant retreats of private life.

The class on Status of Woman is reading Schouler on Domestic Relations.
The class in Charities and Corrections is making a systematic study of Chas. Booth's Life and Labors of the People of London. It is considered the most scientific and extensive work of the kind ever published.
The Regents will meet April 6th. It will be an important meeting from the fact that the location of new buildings will be determined and the plans considered. Plans have been presented by several different architects. Prof. Blake's building will probably be located east, and library north of main building.
Taine, the eminent French writer and critic, who died recently, was a very eccentric man. He was very retiring which perhaps accounts for the great amount of work which he was enabled to do. He never accepted an invitation to a dinner or entertainment of any kind. But on the other hand was always very studious and industrious. Another of his peculiarities was his love for cats. His home was the habitation for great numbers of them and quite well they fared too. No less than a dozen sonnets remain dedicated to his favorite cats.
The World's Fair Commission has appropriated $750 for Prof. Dyche. If the appreciation of Prof. Dyche's work by the state is to be measured by this sum, what science and the world value must be below par in Kansas. The commission also appropriated $1,500 for the collection of building stone made by Prof. Williston and for the collection of minerals to be made by Prof. Haworth. H. R. Linville started Thursday to make a tour over the northern part of the state for Prof. Williston to complete the collection of building stone. Prof. Haworth started the same day for Leavenworth and Galena, to make arrangements for his collection of coal, zinc and lead. On Monday he will start to make a tour of the salt and gypsum regions for these minerals. This work must be pushed with the greatest possible dispatch, for the specimens must be collected, sorted and in Chicago by April 10th.
It will be but a very short time before Mc Cook athletic field will be the loafing place of the athletes and their friends.
The Seminary Notes.
The Seminary Notes, published by the department of History and Sociology, is one of the most useful periodicals published in the University. It is devoted especially to the study of historical science in the University and throughout the state of Kansas. It has received especial commendation from many prominent men of eastern institutions, such as Prof. W. R. Harper of Chicago University and Pres. C. K. Adams of Wisconsin University, Richard T. Ely and Prof. H. B. Adams of Johns Hopkins, and many others. The testimony of these eminent men is sufficient to convince every student that he should subscribe for and keep a file of the Seminary Notes.
The Seminary.
Friday's session of the Seminary was devoted to the divorce question. Miss Radford read a short paper on "Divorce Statistics of the United States." She said that it was difficult to obtain accurate information concerning divorces in the United States because there are state registrations of divorces in only eleven states.
Miss Hardy followed with a very interesting paper on the "Causes of Divorce." The largest per cent of all the divorces are obtained upon the ground of desertion. The United States has no uniform divorce law and in some states the parties may remarry at once and in others not until six months have elapsed. There are fewer divorces in the country than in the city.
Miss Tinsley then read a paper on "Some of the Remedies for Divorce." She suggested five remedies: a strong, healthy public opinion; suppression of reports of the divorce cases; uniform divorce laws; reform of marriage laws; education of the heart and mind. In explanation of this last she said that more politeness and more regard for the personal rights of
The University Courier.
121
others would tend to lessen the number of divorces.
In the discussion which followed Professor Blackmar said that the disgrace of the whole system was due to the fact that those who wanted a divorce only to marry again were sure to obtain it, and that those who really deserved a divorce frequently failed to do so.
University Extension.
Prof. Blake lectured Friday before the University extension class in K. C. It contains over 300 members and is in charge of the Y. M. C. A. and probably the largest class in university extension in the west. The proceeds from the sale of tickets, amount to over $700. This is strong testimony as to the success of Prof. Blake's work.
His subject last Friday evening was "The Heating Effects of Electricity", with special reference to the heating of houses, cooking, forging, welding, reduction of ores and the method of producing aluminum by electricity. The arc and incandescent lights were discussed with special reference to the lighting of the "World's Fair Grounds."
Prof. Dunlap has two classes in Univeristy extension work, one in Lawrence on Thursday evening, the other in Leavenworth on Tuesday evenings. The subject before the Leavenworth class was "Lord Byron." This class is strong and probably the largest in the state.
The Language Conference.
The Language Conference held its meeting last Thursday at the residence of Mr. B. W. Woodward, to hear a paper by Mrs. Anna B. McMahan, of Quincy, Illinois, on "The New Motive in the Novel." Mrs. McMahan is well known as the author of several volumes of essays, as a book reviewer, and especially as a guide and lecturer for literary clubs. She is the leading spirit of the Friends in Council of Quincy, Illinois, and has directed the work of the Friends in Council, of Topeka, and the Zodiac Club, of Lawrence.
Love has always been the dominant interest
of life, and hence of the artistic treatment of life. Probably it always will be. But in the earlier works of fiction it was almost exclusively the period before marriage which was selected by the novelist, the hopes, fears, estrangements, trials, and final victory of young lovers, always ending with marriage and the assumption that "they lived happily ever after." This was the treatment of Walter Scott and Jane Austen.
Much later the field of married life was entered upon. Here it was natural that the mishaps of ill-assorted marriages, and the wiles of the would-be destroyer of marital felicity should occupy a large share of attention. But for a long time the solution of these complications lay chiefly in some outside circumstance, usually in the timely death of one or more of the complicating persons. But within a comparatively short time there has appeared a new method of treatment, a treatment that makes special claim to the merit of realism. This new method is to consider the marriage problem expressly as such, and to make the tragedy of the situation arise from the fact and nature of marriage. The novel of this later school does not inveigh against marriage or directly suggest its abolition, but uses marital infelicity as a Fate from which to derive its tragic situation. The differences of the method were shown in brief sketches of "Annie Karenina," "Roger Hunt" and "A Human Document."
Mrs. McMahan finds in the novels of this school a failure to take the higher and not at all unreal stand-point of nobly bearing the suffering and unhappiness which arise from uncongenial unions. She looks forward to a newer and better motive in the treatment of the tragedy of married life: the recognition of the fact that perfect happiness is not to be expected in this life, in marriage or out, and that wisdom will make use of all experience for the development of character; in a word, overcoming of obstacles and christian toleration of differences in marriage instead of fatalistic succumbing to unhappiness. The novel that is to come will employ this motive.
The paper was discussed by Prof. Canfield, Mr. Woodward and several others. Indeed the discussion was just well under way when it was interrupted by the departure of the author to take a train. The meeting was one of the most profitable of the year, and the Conference is greatly indebted to Mrs. McMahan, as well as to the hospitality of Mr. Woodward.

LITERARY.
Negatives.
Although a great deal has been said about feminine sympathy, the subject has been by no means thoroughly exhausted. Incidents illustrating the wonderful activity and ubiquity of this so distinctively feminine quality are of such common occurrence that any unpractised eye cannot fail to discover them. Just the other day the writer accidentally stumbled on a case in point—a case in which a new and pleasing turn was given to an old and overworked subject.
A visitor to the museum, evidently troubled with heart disease, had fallen over in a faint, near the Mississippi street entrance to the campus. Moreover, he had bled profusely and, taken all in all, presented a very ghastly appearance, as, carried by two of our athletic students, he was taken to Dr. W. for treatment. The doctor soon brought him around by administering the proper restoratives, and went on with the class in hygiene. The affair naturally occasioned much comment, and upon my way over to the main building a young lady asked me what the excitement in Snow Hall was about. Having been an eye witness to the whole occurrence, I was proceeding to give her a detailed report of what had happen—how the man had fallen across the sidewalk, how the blood had rushed from his nose, etc., when she broke in with, "Yes, yes, Mr. X—, I know all that; but was he a nice young man?"
I was walking along at a great rate, in order not to be late to class, when I met J—at the foot of the hill. I perceived that he was awfully tickled about something, and said, "Well, what is it?"
"What is it," he repeated, as if surprised at my question, "why, what do you mean?"
"Oh, come, now, don't try to play the 'innocence racket' on me. There is something the matter, I can see it sticking right out of your face."
"Well, I'll tell you, but remember it is a secret. It's about this English Composition class. The critic who corrects my themes just slashes them to death; nothing suits him. But I'll fix him. In the paper I am about to hand in this morning, I have whole paragraphs taken from Thackeray; kind of sub rosa, you understand. Now the critic will tear Thackeray all to pieces, and I'll have it on him."
“On who? Thackeray?” I broke in.
"Naw, on the critic, you idiot. The fact is, I am almost sure that I know who corrects my papers. Then, you see, when I get my paper back, I'll go up to Mr. Critic and spring my joke. It will simply daze him and I will have my revenge."
"Yes, that will be immense," I responded. Be sure and let me know how it comes out." With that I left him.
Two days later, just as I was coming from chapel, I met J—at the head of the stairs. "Well, how about that joke?" was my salutation.
"By George! I had forgotten all about it. The paper was returned to me this morning, but I haven't looked at it. Let's go down to the basement and see the criticism; then we'll come up and I'll strike the critic."
Down to the basement we went, J—giggling and chuckling all the way. Going into a side room he pulled the paper from his pocket and began to read. As the reading progressed, the chuckle changed, first to a nervous laugh, and then to a low moan. "I didn't expect to fool him," he said. "Who are you talking about?" I asked. "Just read it, you'll see," and he handed me the paper. And I read, in that almost illegible writing that used to adorn the outside of my freshman and sophomore themes, the following: "Really, your paper is good and bad by turns. Haven't you received an inspiration or two from the author of 'The Virginians?'
SILENCE, under some circumstances, may be golden, but it is often a valuable cloak for ignorance. The conservative are not always so from principles of modesty.

EXCHANGES.
The Courier's muse has been sadly affected of late by this swift and, to say the least, versatile March weather, and so has not seen fit to grind out any sort of an effusion. Consequently, with alacrity and a clear conscience we borrow the following bits from the Harvard Lampoon:
Hymns Ancient and Modern.
ANCIENT.
Complexion like the winter snow Just tinted by the sunset glow, Throat white as alabaster, Teeth of pearl, and hair of gold, And figure—sure in Venus mould Th' immortal gods have cast her.
And I am proud her slave to be ;
And deem it high felicity
To die if she will it so ;
Ye fates! tonight propitious be.
For I approach divinity ,
My life depends on "Yes" or "No."
MODERN.
Stunning girl,
Out of sight,
Guess I'll pop
Tuesday night.
Bully shape,
Pretty eyes;
Papa's rich;
Quite a prize.
Sure to have me;
Can't say no;
Lots of rocks;
It's a go.
Harvard was recently the recipient of $2,000,-
ooo, from ——.
William Astor has promised $1,000,000 to found a university for colored people at Oklahoma.
The students of Leland Stanford and Berkley propose to have a grand University ball on the first Friday in April. They wish to make the affair the chief social event in San Francisco society and to establish the custom of having an annual University ball.
President Harrison has declined to accept the position of Law lecturer at the Leland Stanford University.
"Money is not at the bottom of everything," sadly remarked the college man as he plunged his hands down into his pockets. —Exchange.
Noah was the first pitcher on record. He pitched the ark within and without. The game was called on account of rain. (Exchange.)
F. A. Stocks, '84, has resigned his position as Chief Clerk in the treasury department at Washington and will go to Chicago as government disbursing agent of the World's Fair.
The Princeton faculty have recently placed the students of that institution upon their honor in examinations. They simply require each student, without supervision in examination to subscribe to the following at the end of his paper: "I pledge my honor as a gentleman, that, during this examination, I have neither given nor received assistance." This is the result of a student feeling against cheating in examinations.—Hesperian.
The class in Bacteriology had been testing the air in the laboratory to determine the number of bacillis in the atmosphere, but none had been found. The professor was about to give up in despair of finding any room in the University where the air would be impure enough to admit of the experiment. As a last resort he asked if any member of the class knew of a place where they would be more likely to succeed. Several rooms were suggested but none seemed suitable. One student thought the atmosphere of a sewer would be prolific with microbe germs, but the professor reminded him that there was no Parisian sewer now available. The suggestion, however, was to the point. For, a junior who was evidently in the habit of spending the chapel half-hour in the library, roused himself and asked "How would the library do, professor?" After a slight deliberation the professor concluded it would do, and the test was made on the following day.

ATHLETICS.
The Indoor Meet,
The first Winter Meeting of the University of Kansas Athletic Association was held on Friday evening, March 24th, '93. Taking everything into consideration, the meet was a decided success, which is mostly due to the untiring efforts of Profs. Adams and Shepard, together with the united efforts of the athletes. About 300 persons were present and at times enthusiasm ran high. Promptly at 8 o'clock the heavy weight wrestling began between Armor and McMahon in the trial bouts. Armor, by a very pretty neck hold, easily threw his opponent in the first bout. In the second bout McMahon proved too much for him, while in the third Armor showed considerable science and easily threw McMahon. Very pretty work was done by both men and Armor plainly demonstrated that he is by no means a novice in wrestling. Harvey and Foster next had their trial bouts, but Harvey's superior strength and weight soon told on the lighter man and he easily won the first two falls. Foster, however, did very pretty work, but was clearly out-classed by Mr. Harvey. In the finals between Armor and Harvey, neither could do anything with the other, but the prettiest wrestling of the evening was done by Armor, who showed science and skill in every movement. But Harvey's extraordinary strength proved too much for Armor and the heavy weight wrestling was declared a tie. The middle weight wrestling was short, sharp and decisive. The bouts were opened by Alden and Gillespie. Both were aggressive and Gillespie won the first bout while Alden won the second. In the trial bouts between Gillespie and Champlin each won a fall and as time was called before the final fall the honors were given to Gillespie.
In the ten yard dash Chamberlain won the first heat, with Dum second. The second heat was won by Matteson, Sherman second. The final heat was won by Matteson, Sherman second.
In the fifteen yard dash Sherman won first
heat, with Dum second. Second heat was won by Chamberlain, with Matteson second. The final was again won by Matteson,with Dum second.
First heat of twenty yard dash was won by Chamberlain, with Dum second. Second heat won by Alden, with Sherman second, while the final was won by Chamberlain, with Dum second.
The twenty yard hurdle race was easily won by Dum, with Sherman second.
The hitch and kick was one of the prettiest events of the evening but Matteson evidently outclassed the other contestants easily kicking 8 feet,6 in.;the record,however,was 8 feet. 2 in.,this being the highest at which the tin was placed.
The standing high jump between Faulkner, Sherman and Dum was declared a tie, all being able to jump 4 feet. 6 in., but none being able to raise it. With the bar at 4 feet. 8 in., Faulkner was so unfortunate as to fall on his left arm, twisting both bones out of place at the elbow. Dr. Williston was fortunately in the audience and soon had the bones in place.
The standing broad jump was won by Sherman. Distance, 9 feet. 5 in. Second, Lutz, 9 feet. 4 in.
Hamill easily won putting the sixteen pound shot. Distance 34 ft.Sherman second, 32 ft.
The running high jump and exhibition handball game were omitted for lack of time and the meet closed with the end of the half mile walk. This was one of the most entertaining events of the evening. Kelsey led the van for three or four rounds, when he had to give it to Elmer Riggs, who easily won, the others having been ruled out for running.
In many ways has the meet been beneficial. It has had the good result of bringing our best athletes before the people and demonstrating what can be and what will be done at our Field Day meet in May. It has aroused an interest for indoor athletics which nothing short of a good gymnasium will satisfy and it has also demonstrated the old fact that to be a financial success liberal advertising must be resorted to, and people made to realize its importance.

Notes of the Meeting.
The meeting was graced by the presence of many of the University ladies.
While Faulkner's arm is severely bruised and extremely painful, yet he is able to be about and a speedy recovery is hoped for.
The faculty, by their presence, showed their approval of the meeting and their interest in the advancement of athletics.
Kelsey has a graceful "heel and toe" movement, but to win against Riggs' monstrous strides he will have to take longer steps.
The half mile walk was as comical as a monkey show.
Matteson clearly demonstrates his ability to "hitch and kick" 8 ft.6 inches.
Many were disappointed in not seeing the game of hand ball. However, this is no fault of the management, as so much time had been taken up by the wrestling.
The candidates for the Harvard Varsity nine have been reduced to about thirty men.
The winter indoor meet is an event of the past and quite naturally we now turn our attention to base ball. Practice among the men has been seriously neglected the past two weeks, as nearly all of the prominent base ball players were entered for the meet. However, the season being so far advanced, it was necessary to have the meet on last Friday night or postpone it for an entire year, while in the future the meet will be held during midwinter. But for base ball men the meet has had its advantages in shaping their agility and endurance. The number of candidates who have handed in their names, specifying the positions for which they were trying, is about twenty-two. Several of last year's team will try for places, but the majority of the candidates are new men in the University of Kansas.
With but two or three exceptions, no one can tell who will ultimately be chosen to fill the different positions and competition for final places will be close. Gear, Phillips and Steinberg are showing up well in pitching, while Kelsey and
Jonson are catching in their old form. None of the infield positions can be ascribed to any one, while the open air practice is likely to bring untried outfielders into prominence.
This year's team will probably excel that of any previous year and the management of the Athletic Association is trying to arrange for a number of games with colleges of other states. It is rather deplorable that more games could not have been arranged for in our triangular league, but the Association will see that plenty of good games will be arranged with other college teams. The University of Nebraska is quite anxious to play us and in all probability their team will make a trip upon which it will play Baker, Washburn and University of Kansas. The enthusiasm of college base ball is manifestly less than of foot-ball, and from a financial standpoint it is not so easy to arrange games with colleges outside of the state.
McLean and Prescott.
Reserved seats were placed on sale Wednesday morning for the appearance of McLean and Prescott at the opera house next Friday evening, in "L'Absintheur," Miss Prescott's new play, about which so much has been said in the east. This is one of the many new plays which have been "brought out" this season. The plot is intensely tragic, dealing with the gradual and awful depravation of the absinthe drinkers, who come under the influence of a drug much worse than even opium or hemp.
John Dillon.
In the greatest imaginable contrast to the tragedy presented by McLean and Prescott Friday evening, we will have Mr. John Dillon next Monday evening as the "Model Husband," a comedy which has made millions laugh, and which Mr. Dillon considers one of the best he has played. The name suggests the character of the play and we can guess some of the predicaments that a model husband may get into when his wife is away; in fact some of us know teem too well.

CLEAR, CONCISE, COMPREHENSIVE. A NEW WORK
ON
CODE PLEADING
WITH
Forms and Directions.
By SAMUEL MAXWELL,
CHIEF JUSTICE SUPREME COURT OF NEBRASKA.
THE WORK IS DESIGNED FOR USE IN ALL CODE STATES.
The author has produced a clear, concise, practical and reliable work, adapted to all the Code States, and the decisions of the Courts of such States have been fully cited in support of the various propositions. The rules of Code pleading are stated generally, and also in particular cases both in favor of the plaintiff and defendant, and between defendants, and forms of pleading given. These forms, it is believed, cover nearly every case that may arise, either in law or equity, or both.
THE BEST WORK YET PUBLISHED ON THE SUBJECT.
Hon. David Dudley Field says: "You have written a valuable book, and done a real service to our common profession."
Hen. D. M. Valentine, of the Supreme Court of Kansas: "I find it a valuable addition to the working implements of the profession. It is just such a work as we would expect from the able, careful, and concien- tious Chief Justice of Nebraska. I recommend it to the profession."
Hon. Alfred Wallin, of the Supreme Court of North Dakota, says: "MAXWELL'S CODE PLEADING, with its valuable Appendix of Forms and Directions, impresses me very favorably. I am confident that it will aid materially in the development of pleading as a science."
Hon B. P. Waggener, General Attorney of the Mo. Pac. R'y Co., says: I have carefully examined the work, and without hesitation pronounce it the most complete work on Code Pleadings that has come under my observation. It is indispensable to every lawyer practicing under a code, and should be in every law library. You are certainly entitled to the gratitude of the beach and bar for this great work."
It is divided into twenty-four chapters,the titles to which are as follows:
