MAHARA'S MINSTRELS.
Mahara's Minstrels will appear at the Opera House Friday evening. Watch for the street parade Seats now on sale.
THE JOLLY "DR. BILL."
"Doctor Bill," the funny comedy now playing at the Ninth street opera, house, Kansas City, is scheduled for Bowersock's opera house, Monday night, January 9th.
"Dr. Bill" is a play that depends entirely upon the acting for its success. It has no spectacular or realistic effects, no saw mills, no railroad trains, no explosions, no race scenes. All the red fire and ginger in the performance is in the actors each one of whom was selected with especial reference to his or her fitness for the characters entrusted to them. The play is capitally presented, has the advantage of competent comedians and clever specialty performances and is produced with the same general attention to detail that characterized its productions in New York.

A firm is sending circulara to class presidents advertising denitinized tobacco warranted perfectly harmless. The local editor of the Lawrence Journal thinks that the tobacco is intended for class day use.

This impersonation will be given under the auspices of the Athletic Association, and the proceeds will go to the gymnasium fund Prof. Dillenbeck was recently professor of elocution in Kentucky University, and is an able impersonator, a man in every way qualified to give us an evening's entertainment.
At the recent oratorical contest, held at Ottawa University, the following gentlemen were the contestants. H, J. Banta. W. P. Gommase, J. R. Newton and W. G. Carey. The honors were awarded to the contestants in the order named. Mr. Banta will represent Ottawa at the State Contest to be hold next month at Topoka. The subject of his oration is, "Our Attitude toward China." Mr. Chas. Constiny won first place at the oratorical contest at the State Normal, just before the holidays.
EMPORIA, Dec. 21, 93.
At the State Normal to-day the board of regents approved the action of the faculty which a few weeks before had forbidden the playing of match games of football, and in addition passed a rule entirely forbidding the playing of football even among the scholars themselves. They claim as reason for their action that the game is brutal, in fact, is simply a price tight on a large scale. Governor Lewelling, it is said, approves of the order. The State Normal now has an attendance of about 1400.
At a meeting of the Western Interstate Football Association in Kansas City, Saturday the 30th, the following games were scheduled for '94. Kansas vs. Iow, at Iowa City, Nov. 13; Missouri vs. Nebraska, at Kansas City Nov. 13; Nebraska vs. Kansas, at Lawrence Nov. 17; Missouri vs. Iowa, at Columbia Nov. 17; Kansas vs. Missouri, Kansas City, and Iowa vs. Nebraska, at Omaha Thanksgiving day.
Mr. C. O. Lasley, of Toledo, Ohio, has his name on the Visitor's Register, this week. Mr. Lasley will be remembered by old University men as a student two years ago, when he was prominent in athletics and was one of the successful contestants in the boat races. Since leaving the University he has been holding the position of assistant to the chief of the engineering department of the Toledo, Ann Arbor and North Michigan Railroad. He was here as the guest of Mr. V. J. Coleman going to Kansas City last night; but there are possibilities of the University being able to claim him as a returned student next term.
ATHLETICS.
Kansas City holds the world's mile and half mile records for Bicycle.
The referee who does not want to be roasted must keep off the grillron.
Baker has scored 148 points to opposing teams 26, shutting out four of the teams.
Emmons, the left end man of Harvard's '93 team has been ejected captain for next season.
The State Sportsman's Association will hold its fifth annual tournament at Topka, June 5-6.7th.
Knife has charge of the U. of P, team next season, while Princeton will probably relect Trenchard.
Hinkey was unanimously elected captain of Yale eleven. He has played three years on the team.
K. U. is now negotiating for an eastern coach for nextyear. It is hoped that he will be the type of Waters of Harvard or Mackey of U. of P.
A picked eleven from the Glese Club played the Beloit eleventh on Christmas day, at Beloit. The score at the close of the game was 10 to 10.
Why cannot the Interstate Association arrange for a few base ball games for the coming season? K. U. for one, is in for it and we are tired of defeating Kansas teams.
The prospects for the inter-state field day meet in Kansas City are good. In this only the State Universities of the four states of Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska will be allowed to compete. The meeting will probably be held the latter part of May.
Of the interstate games, Kansas scored 57 points to opponents 36. Missouri scored 54 points to opponents 56. Iowa scored 76 points to opponents 57. Nebraska scored 38 points to opponents 66. From this it will be seen that Kansas was scored against least. In '92 K. U. scored 48 points to opponents 8.
O. K. Williamson has been unanimously elected captain of the Kansas University team for next year to succeed A. R. Champilin, who leaves school at the end of the year. 'Willie' is a cool, nery and brainy player, and certainly deserves the captainey. He is very popular with the players, and is universally liked by the students and faculty. As quarter back he is in a position to direct the field play of the team to a great advantage.

The stock of the STUDENTS JOURNAL company consists of non-transferable one dollar shares. Any student, instructor or employee university may hold one and only one share.
THE University Review for December appears much improved in form and its contents are of great interest and merit.
This paper is on file at the editorial rooms of the University, Review, 25th Fifth avenue, New York, where all college men are given a hearty welcome.
THE election of officers of the STUDENTS JOURNAL. Company, for the next term, will be held Tuesday, January 16th.
If you intend to enter the local oratorial contest why keep it a secret? If your oration be rejected by the committee you will not be forever held in disdain by your fellow students.
THE Kansas City Star seems to be greatly troubled about the affairs of Kansas University authorities and students. It is feared that the students will not find sufficient time to study amid all the confusion of football and other athletics, and of oratory.
IN the next copy of the University Review of New York, there will appear the picture of our foot ball team, made for the STUDENTS JOURNAL, together with an account of the team and its work. Eastern colleges and college journals are from year to year taking more interest in western football.
W. A. Matteson was elected captain of field athletics for the spring of '94. In the spring a team will be organized for field sports. Thus a more definite or organization will be effected for general field day athletes, and those who desire to enter the field day contests will be able to go into systematic training.
TO THOSE few who did not receive their Holiday Supplement of the journal, we can say only that we used our regular mailing list and sent papers to home addresses when so ordered. The loss of the papers must have been due to miscarriage in the mails. Unfortunately for us, our edition is too nearly exhausted to replace lost copies.
Ir is possible that certain of the lectures and entertainments which were to constitute our lecture course may be secured as single attractions. If such arrangements be made, those students who did not hold lecture course tickets, but who complained bitterly that the lecture bureau did not have sufficient enterprise to maintain the course, will still have an opportunity to offer their support.
The orations for the local contest must be handed to the executive committee on or before 6 o'clock Wednesday evening, January 17th. Although the University has paid almost no attention to octony this year, yet it is believed that, owing to the number of students who signify their intention to enter the local contest, we shall have a local contest of exceeding interest, and a good man to represent us at Topeka.
THURSDAY evening, at the meeting of the Student's journal Company, a committee of five members—Grillin, Foulsk, Schumacker, Neal, and Krebbleich—were elected to negotiate with the Courier Company regarding a combination of the two papers. The committee were given instructions and power to act. Although the meeting was a tumultuous one, yet the prevailing sentiment seemed to favor negotiations with the Courier.
The JOURNAL has upon its table Field's Farmer and Stockman, the leading article in which, for the month, is from the pen of Prof. L. E. Sayre of the University. The article is headed "Loco Weed and Loco Poisoning," and treats of the phenomena attending the eating of the notorious "loco" by stock; and of the probable scientific explanation of the poisoning which results. It is, of course, of considerable importance to farmers and stockraisers, to know all that can be learned about the mysterious plant, and the a title furnishes a summary of the results of the long investigations carried on by Prof. Sayre as to the loco, making it of more than usual value.
THERE is much room for improvement in the formation of the editorial staff of the STUDENTS JOURNAL. Some such plan as followed by the Yale Courant could be profitably adopted by us. Let the editorial board be composed of five fourth year students, to be assisted by five third year students. These should begin work at the middle of the school year and continue for 'one year', at the expiration of which time the fifth third year students, who have then had a year to prepare for their respective places, should take the places of the retiring board, and five new third year students be chosen as associates. The board of five should consist of editor, local edit r, literary editor, and two financial editors. The five third year men would naturally be assistants.
THERE is great uneasiness throughout the country lest football will come to occupy too prominent a place in the life of the college student. As a newspaper we take upon ourselves a share of the blame for the prevalence of such a feeling. We have given more space to football than to the languages or sciences, so that some few poorly informed persons have concluded that the languages and sciences are being neglected. Farmers are calling for the good old college days when the boys went to college in their bare feet and wore blue checked shirts and blue denim overalls supported by blue jeans suspenders, those days when the college boys prepared their own food, and sawed wood for exercise.
"In them old days they warrent bothered none with such scarcity games. They don't study none now in college like they used to."
We beg to inform our readers that it is not our purpose to give instruction in mathematics or any special study, neither is it our duty to set forth the various courses of study. The college catalog, or is published for this purpose, and can be obtained free upon application. The college paper primarily represents that phase of college life which is supplementary to the routine of study.
If you failed to receive our twenty-four page holiday supplement you will be reminded of the fact that your subscription is as yet unpaid. After this no paper will be mailed to any stockholders or paid up subscribers. If you are not at present connected with the University you are not a stockholder and will not be entitled to receive a paper until your subscription is paid.

The author, Mother Arthur.
"Manuscripts containing curiously constructed sentences are sometimes placed in the hands of the printers, and although the types usually succeed in eliminating errors of the various description with which they are confronted, the following examples selected from actual occurrences show that mistakes will happen in spite of the author."
The author of the above extract has the right idea, but is rather awkward in his expression of it. The extract itself may be taken as an illustration of some of the errors which in this case the "types did not succeed in eliminating"
Newspaper errors are exceedingly common. We do not meet them in country newspapers alone, but in our best weekly and daily papers, even in University publications.
The following clippings are examples of some of the many errors. Here are two from a country correspondent.
"Chus Lamb left yesterday for Fort Scott where he will embark in the undertaking business with his brother-in-law, Mr. Smith, of Paola."
The idea of a person embarking in the undertaking business is ridiculous. It is an occupation that is generally carried on on dry land.
"The festive grasshopper are still in the land. We were in hopes these frosty nights would do them up but they seem as lively as over, Dr. Cope come down and we will give you a job of extracting teeth."
The connection between the first and last part of the paragraph is not clear. The reference to Dr. Cope is one of those personal mentions more interesting to the gentleman mentioned than to any one else. The other error of the extract need not be pointed out.
"Old Neosho humped her back, tore up the winter carpet of ice, swept off the accumulation of brush, legs, and dirt, and had a general house-cleaning time of it on Tuesday. Now is the time for us to lend a helping hand to aid her in keeping healthy for the approaching season of fevers and cholera."
As an example of mixed metaphor and general vulgarity the following has been selected.
"The gamblers at Pine Bluffs, Ark," have had their dens raided and their trick paraphernalia burned."
Obituary notices often furnish entertainment. Here is a poor woman of whom so many good things could be said yet they could not flow from the tongue or even the heart, perhaps, as a fitting ology:
Whatever induced the gamblers to have such a thing done?
"Mrs. ___, we are pleased to note, was a consistent member of the Baptist church, and her many acquaintances all petition to the honesty of purpose and many good deeds performed by her in life, and it is safe to say she will reap her reward in the new Kingdom where death can never enter. The words do not flow from our tongue or pen to properly eulogize this good woman."
But as was said before we occasionally find errors even in University publications. The following extracts are from 'last year's University papers.
"Although his voice was too much inclined to fall into cohlquotism, Mr. ___ exhibited in his whole delivery, from the flash of the eye to the rapidly descending palm, etc."
Colloquialism, presumably; but this is a quality not of the voice, but of word and expressions.
"The Gloe Club has two more dates, one at Olathe and one at Kansas City. A spring tour may be managed."
The word 'date' has a restricted meaning here. If the club makes a springtour, it will in all probability be managed.
The students of North College and others are very grateful for the few stones which have been held for a crossing at the Junction of Quincy and Ohio streets. It is not clear to whom or to what the "others" refers; other students, other persons, or possibly to other colleges.
"We love Whittier because we realize that he done much to make the world brighter and better, and in his death we all feel a personal bereavement."
The use of "done" in this case is certainly not the fault of the author, but another one of those errors which were no "eliminated" by the typos.
Want columns often furnish amusing information. For instance some one desires "A young man to look after a horse of the Methodist percusion."
"Ballard's Horehound Syrup when taken in its early stages will cure consumption."
"It is to say the least, wrong for anybody to go to church or public meeting and disturb the preacher or orator counging."
"The chair acknowledged the receipt of flowers and pictures of John Brown and the late Senator ___ from ladies in southern Kansas."
In nine cases out of ten the cause of error is carelessness upon the part of the author or the proof reader. The typeetter cannot be expected to stop and examine every sentence to see which its subject and verb agree in number, whether two, three or half a dozen adverbial modifiers separate the parts of an infinitive, or even attempt to comprehend the meaning of what he is setting up. It is a well known fact that the type setter never remembers what he puts in print. If it were so that he did remember, then the type setting business would be the best means of acquiring an education.
AN HONEST LAWYER?
ROBERT W. NEAL.
A young man asked me to day. "Is it possible for a strictly honest man to practice law?" I have heard that question perhaps a dozen times in the last ten days; "Can a good man be a lawyer?" "Is it possible for a man who is scrupulously conscientious to be a successful lawyer?" Such questions are put with endless monotony and greedy interest from year's end to year's end, and still there are ambitious young men who would like to enter the legal profession, yet fear that if they do they will find it necessary to surrender their honor. I am not a lawyer, but I have had extensive experience with the profession, am perfectly familiar with the nature of its duties, and know just what amount of reason there is in the wide-spread idea that all lawyers are at best only a necessary evil; a set of unscrumplious rogues waiting but an opportunity to invigle the unwary into their sares and destroy them, a guild of boogy-men on the lookout to snatch up and carry away the first son of innocence and "honest tell" upon whom they can lay their claw-tipped hands. I said to the young man who came to me with this question to day, "If you will tell me what is your idea of honesty, of scrupulous conscientiousness, I will tell you whether you can be a man or such character and at the same time praise law."

"Well, I've not used exactly the right words in asking my question," he answered, "but my meaning is, Does the practice of law necessitate the doing of wrong in any way?" This is, of course, the meaning of all those who ask the questions. I told the young man that I had a number of inquiries to answer, all in regard to the same point, and would take this means of expressing my opinions upon the subject.
Now, my young friend with the ambitions bee of legal aspiration humming so near your head, before we pursue this discussion, let me ask you if it is your idea to make law your life work in order that you may be of use in the world,—or be cause it is a profession in which fame and wealth are said to be won with so great ease? Because, in truth, the answer to your question is contained right in the answer you are able to make honesty to this one. When you have carefully analyzed your motives in desiring to take up the law, I will tell you whether the answer to your question is in your case yes or no; for no one ever undertook any work with the hope and intention of being of real use in the world, who did not find they could pursue that work without in any manner doing violence to the right, and no one ever undertook anything merely for the sake of fame and money who did not find that it was a calling success in which required the sacrifice of honor and conscience.

If you find that your real purpose in entering the legal profession is, to fulfill the duties of life, but are uncertain as to a real fulfilment of those duties being possible in that profession; in other words, if you half believe the lawyer must be an insincere, dishonest, possibly a deprived and wholly vicious man;—if this is your case, let me precribe some wholesome pills and powders of truth concerning the real and practical duties of the attorney. I think the treatment will purge you of misapprehension of the character and requirements of a lawyer's work, and so cure you of the complaint. I shall coat my pills with the old and well-known hackneyed-truth composition that has been familiar to all gentlemen of the long robe and their friends since the first time the idea got into someone's head, that the attorney is not a member of an honorable profession. You would probably have found these truths out for yourself, if you had done a little less asking and a little more investigating and reasoning.
+ +
I have not found any one, in all my experience, who questions that a man who conducts a criminal suit for the state is engaged in a strictly upright and commendable work—except, indeed, the criminals he prosecutes. It is probably taken for granted that, as he is representing law-and-order, he must be honorably engaged; which is a perfectly justifiable conclusion. The unfortunate attorney who happens to be employed in defending some one charged with misdemeanor or crime, or in some civil suit, is the one who seems universally the object of the seorn, contumely, and invective of a large class of misinformed, cranky grunners, and of the political "reformers." The lawyer,—which means the lawyer of this class,—is the target of the latter's rhetorical darts, and more than one election has been carried without a principle upon the successful side, by merely pouring out on the devoted heads of this profession the vials of wrath stored up in the bosom of the school house spell-binder.
moral uprightness on the part of the lawyer who is employed in a civil suit or who represents the defendant against the State's prosecution. If the fulfillment of what is required by such positions interferes with the performance of duty either to man or to God, we must of course at once concede that no lawyer can practice his profession without doing wrong. Does the performance of his duty require a violation of his obligations to either?

The statement made concerning the attorneys who are held to be of the dis-honest class being granted, nothing is left that needs to be said in behalf of the State's attorneys, so long as the men so designated represent the State only, although the nature and extent of their duties might be the subject of a long paper. I must therefore endeavor to satisfy you concerning the possibilities of strict
I am going to use the word "society" in talking with you, and shall use it as meaning the people of the State organized into a community, and synonymously with the words "State" and "Nation." These omnimal unit, then, when it formed its State government, recognized, as men have always recognized, that certain acts done against any man within its limits are wrong, and that the frequent repetition of such acts must lead to the dissolution of the social ties which are prized so deeply and for which so much would be sacrificed by us. This recognition naturally led to the passage of laws against those acts and to the appointment of men whose special duty it is to enforce these statutes to the letter. Our aversion to such misdeemenors or crimes is so great and our fear of the social disintegration that would follow their too frequent occurrence is so much greater, that we demand of our prosecuting officers the strictest and most energetic prosecution of alleged violators of law, from the time they are first suspected of such violation until suspicion ceases to lie against them, or until they are apprehended, brought to trial, and convicted or acquitted, as the case may be. In the eye of society, the alleged criminal is guilty until proved innocent, no matter what contrary maxim may govern the conduct of the law in passing upon the case. Looking upon him as a dangerous man when unrestricted, the State imprisons the accused, and holds him in prison until he is tried. It must do so. It cannot afford to run the risk, to expose itself to the almost inevitable consequence, of uncontrolled disorder, crime, and anarchy that would follow a failure upon its part to so pursue those charged with lawbreaking. It is a matter of self preservation, society's demand upon the State's attorneys for the turning against the prisoner of every circumstance, and every bit of testimony that may with any degree of reason be construed against him. It is no less a matter of self preservation, that it requires not so much that justice shall be the aim of its legal representatives in prosecuting alleged criminals as that they shall make a mighty effort to convict.
This incentive of self-safety and defense is so strong that we have been compelled to resort to the intervention of juries to prevent the unjust encroachments of the State upon the rights of the individual. Yet, the jury is composed of members of the community, whose interests are at stake with those of all their fellows; they are alike threatened by disorder and crime, and are perhaps inclined slightly to give the benefit of any doubt there may be in the case to the State rather than to the prisoner. Not that they would intentionally be unfair, but that they feel themselves threatened when society is threatened, and they must see clearly the reasonableness of the doubt as to the guilt of the accused, before they will accord to him the benefit of that doubt. Thus, there is in every criminal proceeding an inclination to encroach upon the rights of the individual, and a possibility that amounts sometimes to probability, that the State will so encoach. Yet the rights upon which society tends to infringe in spite of restriction, and which it possibly does sometimes violate, are God-given and "ina-lionable rights," rights that are common to all men, rights that cannot be jeopardized to one except they be jeopardized to all, rights that cannot be disregarded in the case of one without making greater the possibility of their being disregarded in the case of many. There is no earthly power that can deprive a man of the possession of these rights, nor of the right
of defending them, through himself and through others. We believe this; and when a man takes into his own hands the defense of his rights against tyranny and oppression, and calls to his aid any honorable means, we praise and honor his actions. Much more we praise and honor the actions of men that, having no direct personal ends to be gained thereby, take up the cause of others and defend those others at the peril of their own interests. Yet, when a man is accused before the bar of justice with the commission of some act,—the penalty for which may be years of imprisonment, or even death,—and when another man steps in and undertakes to withstand the pressure of a community, a State, it may be the Nation, upon the rights of the prisoner, we are silent, or open our mouths only to cast contempt at him and his profession, to question his motives, to assail his means—and all this, too, nine times out of ten, without knowing more of his motives or his means that the blind kitten knows of the temperature of the North Pole!
You may be sure that this task of guarding the rights of the one against the tendency to infringe of the whole is no light or inconsiderable task, to be done without much of thought or labor. But think of the attorney as a man, a citizen, having his duties to perform to the state at the same time he is performing his duties to the prisoner and through him to each individual member of society in opposition to the efforts of society; think of him, responsible for any wrong that society may do his client, responsible for any wrong that may be done to society by the acquittal of his client—think of him, under these circumstances, pleading for justice to his client and for justice to the State, pleading for the safety of the rights of men and for the safety of society, and tell me if in such a man, so fulfilling his antagonistic duties, there is anything of dishonor or dishonesty, anything of dishonor, anything of unworthiness! It is only when the attorney forgets his duty to his client or disregards his duty to the State that he becomes disgraced and worthy of contempt. So long as he does not forget or neglect these duties, and if he lives up to the standard of a man and to the requirements of his profession he will not neglect them, so long as he neither loses sight of nor disregards his duty to the State and to the prisoner, I repeat, he is doing a grand, a noble, a sublime service to mankind in society and to mankind in individual embodiment.
For such a man there must be no inception, no base appealing to wrong or improper motives. His whole thought and his whole effort will be directed to the establishment of justice, that good may come thereby; and such a man is not only doing his duty to humanity, but also his duty to God. However, I think I understand something else that was in your mind when you asked me your question,—something about political life, wasn't there? Well, put that out of your head for all time. In the first place, the law yer does not have to become a politician unless he wishes to, and in the next place, there is no more need of his using unfair and dishonorable methods in politics than there is for the preacher to use such methods in urging for Christianity. The standard of the lawyer is none other than the standard of a man. A lawyer is nothing but a man. His being a member of the legal profession does not absolve him from doing the duties of a man, from his obligation always to do right and never to do wrong, nor are the requirements of that profession that he should do anything else, but on the contrary, they demand of him the highest manhood and the most upright character.
No less is this so in civil actions. Attorneys are employed to represent the rights of the parties; and I venture there never yet was a suit in which all

The club is entitled to a great deal of credit for venturing to make a tour on its own responsibility in the face of the closest financial times he country has seen for over fifty years. An idea of the popularity that the club has justly attained through the superior excellence of its concerts may be gotten by comparing its record with that of several of the strongest opera companies on the road. These companies have been compelled to disband or to cancel their dates in the same towns in which K. U's, Glee Club has made money. The tour this year included several towns not visited before. In all of these towns the boys made a host of friends both for themselves and for the University. The people of the communities visited had an opportunity to meet some of the many representative students of the University. The portion of the State visited has been brought more nearly in toun with the University, and many of the High school boys and girls have signified their intention of coming to K. U next year. Not only have the people had an opportunity of hearing the concert, but they have had the pleasure of meeting the boys socially. The club has been given ten receptions on the trip and at each and every place they are assured of a more heavy reception should they return.

Ennui and the blade hive have completely gone out of fashion. Everybody is smirking and grimming. Old scores and quarrels are entirely forgotten, and all is test in good fellowship and joy.

The Glee Club Ton:
The annual concert will be given in Lawrence. Friday evening, Jan. 12, and every loyal K U. student will attend. Our Glee Club is and should be a matter of pride to every patriotic student and citizen of Lawrence. After the Lawrence date there remain only the Kansas City and Olathe dates to fill; but a spring tour will be arranged if satisfactory dates can be made. The concerts are a great improvement upon those of last year, from a musical standpoint. Franklin never fails to capture the audience with the Sunday School Scholar, and Prof. Farrel's whistling is wonderful. His violin work is the best in the State and probably superior to any ting west of the Mississippi river. The program is a varied one, having several pieces of such merit that even the most hypertrophical cannot fail to be satisfied, and at the same time a sufficient number of follicling college songs, which never fail to carry the listeners back to their own college days.

I apprehend, my dear sir, that you have now a clearer and more sensible concept of the lawyer's duties. You thought they were merely to work for his client; the thought that he must work not only for his client (and through him for all men), but for society as well, you had not conceived I do not wonder that you had doubts as to a lawyer's being honest and upright when you thought he has to subject his duty to society and to God to the consideration of his client's acquittal or success. Now that you see what the true lawyer must be—pristot and philanthropist, the champion of society and the defender of the individual; in short, a man of unbiased mind, honest motives and upright character—we may go back to what I asked at first: No one ever undertook any work with the hope and intention to "do justice," who do not find in itself the purpose that work without in any manner doing violence to the right; and no one ever indetermineto anything merely for the sake of fame, money, or brilliance who did not find that it was a calling success in which requires the sacrifice of honor and conscience.
The Press Club Goes.
The movement for a University Press Club is well started, and doubtless will meet deserved success. The journal has this term continually urged the importance of such work as that intended to be done, and cannot refrain from repeating again, that in no better way can the University be brought to the notice of the people than by unintermittently calling their attention to it, its work, and the happenings that give school life its variety and pleasantness and add so largely to its value. The columns of the weekly papers are particularly suited for this purpose, are open to proper approach, all that is needed is, that they shall be supplied with matter and far more than is guessed, perhaps, the Press Club can exercise influence for the benefit of the school and moreover, encourages somewhat the spirit of culture and investigation which, allowed to can very markedly relieve the monotony of the life of the university and hasten the solving of the problems of our social existence.
Nor can the Club's work be said to be unearwrapped, even if done gratuitously, for the practice in a wepaper writing and the impatience to be gained with influential men throughout the state are of themselves enough for all that time. The Club must be given

The papers of K. U. should be representative. Fuller representation of the students on the editorial force will accomplish this, and be secured by es tablishing an editorial board.
In part, the excellence of many eastern college papers is due to the control of an editorial board chosen from upper class men. The STUDENTS JOURNAL could be improved by the adoption of the same system.

Seniors have decided to be represented on all the floors, but it is needless to state that the top floor will be represented by the largest number.
Anyone wishing good old-fashioned informal fun can get excellent advice for obtaining the same from the party that spent Monday afternoon at Lakeview. All their experience went to prove that the unpremeditated is the most enjoyable. Classes were skipped in an unprecedented way, while skates and provisions were remembered in the same manner. A large lumber笼 and two carriages conveyed the party. Arviving at the lake at about 4:30, skating was the order of the day until after dark. Better ice could not have been desired; it sang a beautiful accompaniment, and there was the correct number of air holes. There is neither the space nor the desire to relate the various exploits, individual and collective. Popping corn about the delightful fireplace of the club house; supper with its oysters and "egregious" amount of fun obtained from the most unlooked for toasts; impropna dances, in which joined skilled and unskilled, great and small, poet and philosopher; home through the darkness, over seemingly corduroy roads, singing, shouting, laughing; surely a word to the wise is sufficient. We must not here mention the aches which were the inevitable compensation. All will agree that they cut a figure not to be compared to the many
opposed pleasures. Those desiring information as above suggested would do well to consult some member of the party, which was: Misses Morgan, Menet, Whitman, Bosworth, Heurichs, Lola Brown, the Misses Kelley, Messrs. Griffin, Kreiblich, Newson, Corbin, Sweezer, Menet, Wilder, and Brown.
A Word of Advice.
Just as the last snow was melting under the spring sun of '93, we had an idea; a bright thought pierced our mental darkness; a coruscating conception flashed乌thwart his hitherto unit intellectual sky; and, comet-like, has come back at intervals, accompanied by a nebulous train of consequent conclusions. We have watched it eagerly. For months we had been laboring to bring forth such a spark; and though we never hoped to strike out so brilliant a selentilation, yet we were no, completely stunned by its sudden blaze, nor thrown into an oblivious trance.
It is but fair, however, that we should explain that we were assisted in conceiving our idea. Circumstances, as it were, the spoon of accident into our kettle of cogitations, and kept the mush from sticking. It was in this wise. As we have said, the snow was melting—but yet lay thickly on sheltered places. We started meditatively down Adams street. We were wearing that day a new Knox hat, the neatest little Derby in all Lawrence; and we carried an armload of ponderous books. "Try not the pass," the banner bearer was warned time after time; but no solicitive friend warned us, "Try not the walk," and we went carelessly forward to our woe. In evil moment we put our foot upon an unthawed knob of snowy ice. It slipped. Our head went backward; our Knox hat flew from it like a rocket; our other foot began to slide, and then each foot read its title clear to pathways in the sky—and tried to reach them in widely divergent directions. We caught at something; but something was not there. We found it on a lower plane. It was our hat, and under it, that same unhawed and hard packed knob of snow! At that moment, with our books playing "Johnny Comes Marching Home" upon our head, we had our starlike thought. With the suddenness of our concession, and in our first deep sorrow over our hat, our idea was born. From that very moment, we have believed that something should be done to Adams street, to make it easier of assent and gentler of descent when the frost is on the sidewalk and we learn it with a shock.
As we say, we have encouraged that idea. Then, too, whenever its comet-tail has been within range of our glass, we have studied it as well, and not without success. We now have not only the original idea, but a second, no less important, which we hasten to lay before our readers are the fields and highways are piled again with silence deep and white and students begin to lay in their annual supply of liniments and bandages. Yet, we confess a great reluctance to make known this secret, even when it means the safety of so many. It is a part of us, has mingled in our life, has been the nucleus of our mental existence for weeks and months, and now, to part with it—but it must be! We give it to the world, and bid this last dear thought go forth, to tell our student friends that, when the hard, dud bitteries of cold shall tingle tinger tips and noses, and Adams street shall be the slippriest highway of all the universe of sky and snow, the safest way to walk its treacherous sidewalk is—to take "de middle ob de road."
"COLLECTIVISM."
.
Lawrence Gronlund to the Students.
A very large and eager meeting of the Historical and Sociological Seminary greeted the socialist. Lawrence Gronlund, Friday afternoon; a crowd of thinking, but not of altogether satisfied people left the lecture room at the close of the address. It is only natural for people to talk a great deal of anything out of the ordinary happenings of their daily life, and a lecture by an enthusiastic socialist is not an ordinary event, even in Kansas. But the talking may be to various effects; and much of it this time was criticism. The students were not convinced, they were scarcely reached by the speaker. It was this, and not the doctrine he advocated, that displeased them. They went with the hope of hearing socialism explained, of learning from a believer the salient principles of the theory, and had to come away without hearing an explanation or learning the principles. Mr. Gronlund had mistaken his audience. From his talk, it was evident that he thinks socialism is already the belief of the people of Kansas; that they are imbued with its principles, filled with its spirit; that they need no exposition of its theories, but only persuasion strong enough to move them to action. He has misinterpreted the political events of recent years in the state; for which he is not to blame, if it is granted that one who tries to lead need not first make himself thoroughly familiar with the social life and the thought of those he expects to lead, and with the personalities of those whom now they follow in their social movements. I inevitably, he overshoot the mark; and therefore socialism is probably no stronger in K. U. to day than it was eight days ago, so far as Mr. Gronlund's influence is con-
This explanation of his mistake Friday afternoon may be somewhat more generous—that he believes so thoroughly in his theory. He is full of the idea of so claism. It has soaked into every pore of his mind. He is ruled by it; and doubtless it is difficult for one so completely possessed by an idea to realize that others are not believers in it—much more, that they are comparatively poorly informed of it in detail.
Less important elements of thought and delivery may be noted briefly. Mr. Gronlund's foreign pronunciation, while it does not in general cripple him, occasionally transforms a word so completely that there is no getting the meaning of the sentence. Nevertheless, he may be called an interesting speaker, and he had close attention all the time. Although passing under the name "socialist," he is free from much of the bitterness and violence which are often thought to be the agitator's inseparable attendants. Still, they crop out somewhat. It is clear that he thinks employers correspond to the old-time royal despot, and that force is justifiable in overthrowing present systems; but he is guarded in saying so. The use of the bayonet in this country, he is willing to grant, maybe—and perhaps will be—unnecessary. But in Europe his social revolution is to come with bloodshed.
Whatever the other impressions his Friday afternoon talk may have left, however, this stayed with all; that Mr. Gronlund, whether right or wrong in his ideas, is satisfying the requirements of a strongly altruistic nature, and is deserving of honor for the spirit of his iabors.

This paper is on file at the editorial rooms of the University Review, 292 Fifth avenue, New York, where all college men are given a hearty welcome.
It is the irregular attendant upon class exercises that takes up the time for discussions.
PROF L. L. DYCHE will lecture before the Science Club to-day at 5 p.m., on Mammalogy at the World's Fair.
THE New Years greeting of the Curor appeared this week. It contains illustrations of Chancellor Snow, the Chancellor's residence, a scene from the natural history museum, and the football team of '93. The various departments of work of the University are carefully and ably set forth.
A Y. M C. A. CONFERENCE of college students will be held in Lawrence, Saturday and Sunday, January 13 and 14. About twenty five students are expected from the neighboring colleges. Mr. John R. Mott, of New York City, who will conduct the conference, is expected to day. Students of the University will be greatly profited by attending the conference. Sessions will be held in Music hall. Program will be announced later.
AT THE meeting of the STUDENTS JOURNAL. Company on the 16th, numerous propositions and important motions will probably be made. Every member who expects to present a proposition or move a resolution should put it in writing. Nothing is more confusing than to have important matters stated orally, and nothing is so likely to cause misunderstanding and blunders in after business. As a matter of time-saving and of precaution against all too-probable mistakes, have your propositions and resolutions reduced to writing.
It is only two weeks till the professors will begin their semi-annual investigations for the purpose of discovering whether the students have learned any thing under their instruction. It will be the duty of the professors to ask such questions as will enable the student to tell all he knows regarding the subject at hand in the fewest possible words. It will be the duty of the student to be in good health so that he may make the greatest possible display of his knowledge, and if he have no knowledge, he must devise some scheme by which he may pass the examination.
THE Kansas City Journal says, "Harvard College has been compelled to economize, and is cutting down its list of instructors." We have been unable to learn particulars. Harvard College some time ago bad part of its funds invested in railroad stocks, and the depreciation of these stocks may be the cause of its present difficulty. Harvard seems the most popular eastern college with our students, and we hope soon to be able to inform our readers that its financial troubles are not of sufficient importance to cause any permanent embarrassment.
The entire collection of Kansas building stones which were on exhibition at the World's Fair have returned in good condition and are permanently on exhibition in the geological museum. The specimens will be arranged according to their geological formation and geographical distribution. They form a valuable addition to our museum.
PROE, BLACKMAR has stated that he is willing to deliver a series of lectures on subjects of general interest—such as immigration, monopolies, strikes if he were assured the attendance would make it worth while. His plan is, to deliver the lectures Monday afternoons at 5 e'clock, in the Historical Seminary room, and to invite all who are interested—students of any department, and persons not connected with the University as well. Such an opportunity? as this should not be neglected. No preparation is required of the audience, they simply have to give the time taken up by the lecture, and are sure of obtaining much valuable information. Who will take the matter in hand and assure Prof. Blackmar that the audience will be present whenever he is ready to begin the course?
HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC MEET.
SOMETHING original has been done by the Athletic Association in arranging an inter-academic athletic meet for all accredited High schools of the state. The champion athletes of the Kansas High schools will meet in Lawrence in May, for a grand athletic contest.
Free entertainment will be provided by our Athletic Association, and possibly a reduced railroad rate will be obtained. A committee of three has been appointed to complete the arrangements for the contest, and it will greatly aid them if the many friends of the Athletic Association who can furnish entertainment for one or more boys will report to some officer of the Athletic Association.
Such a meeting of Kansas High school boys will be of great value both to the University and to the boys. An opportunity will be given the boys to visit the great head of the public school system of Kansas, and no doubt the idea of sometime becoming a student in the University will be born in many a young mind.
OTHER PEOPLE'S BUSINESS.
The Lawrence Daily Journal expressed in its columns Wednesday night great displeasure at the existence of two week,ly newspapers in the University. Two hundred dollars a month, says the Journal, is too much money for the merchants of Lawrence to pay for the support of college papers. A combination of the two papers is urged as a feasible means of reducing this enormous expense.
Permit us to say a word in our own defense. The college papers are not sheets published for the purpose of bleeding the merchants, nor are they objects of charity. They have been established for the purpose of furthering the interests of the University and there by Lawrence. Two papers can be compulsif this end bet er than one.
The two papers afford a healthy competition, and represent more thoroughly all phases of college life. The college papers are run on a far more economic basis than the city papers, in that their editors receive no compensation of money for their labors. The advertising is intended simply to pay for the printing of the paper and possibly a manger compensation to the business managers. As an advertising medium the college papers are certainly of great value. The students spend no less than $150,000 a year in Lawrence, and the faculty and employees of the University spend as much as $80,000. These persons are with few exceptions readers of the college papers, and comparatively few of them look at a down-town newspaper. The students who read daily newspapers find in our reading room the best, so that they are not confused to local folios of patent matter and weather comments for their information. Indeed, whether there is not a great and needless war in supporting three daily papers in it is college town is a question worthy of consideration and we might here suggest that the Daily Journal and the Daily Gazette combine with the Daily World and form one grand paper. Such a paper could do all the business and the three together would make a very respectable sheet. By such a combination the merchants would be enabled to reduce the amount of their charity account with the daily newspapers to about one third and since it so seems in order for papers to offer suggestions regarding the management and business of their contemporaries, we would also suggest that as the merchants of Lawrence would heartily approve of the consolidation of the three daily papers, the Daily Journal should make an effort to effect such a combination.
PROFESSOR DYCHE'S MICE.
Professor Dyche is already hard at work in his laboratories. He has undertaken the enormous project of making a complete collection of the small mammals of the State. He proposes to make a scientific study of their habits for economic purposes.
The traps are baited with cheese, meat or vegetables, depending on what kind of an animal is desired. About twelve species of field mice have been found around the University, and in the buildings themselves curious animals are being discovered.
As $^{2}$h starter, the professor has begun on the mice and other small mammals about the University buildings and the city.
After the little animals are caught, the contents of their stomachs are examined under the microscope to ascertain the nature of their food. Just what mice eat has been largely a matter of casual observation or conjecture. Housekeepers have discovered that they eat bread and cheese. Farmers have observed that they eat corn and grain. But the indefatigable professor proposes to see for himself just exactly what the small vagabonds do eat. When something unknown is found in one of the little stomachs, the professor says to himself that it must be something found in the country where the mouse has dwelt, so he gathers in bits of everything that the mouse could possibly eat, and so preparates this material that it can be compared with what the tiny fellow has eaten. Eventually, the professor will know just what the diet of the little pests is. Mice eat strange things. Their usual diet is seeds and grains for the regular meal, and insects for dessert. They are cannabis, and are fond of feeding upon one another's brains. One hungry mouse removes the skull of his neighbor and finds beneath it "a dainty morsel of brains" which he feeds with a relish. An oily substance was found in the stomach of one of the little rodents, and the professor was at his wits end to know what it was, when he finally discovered it to be some guawed walnuts.
The work will be extended over the State and eventually all the small mammals of the State will be brought under the professor's observation and classified and their exact geological distribution will be ascertained. A description of each animal will be preserved and its diet noted, so that the farmers of Kansas may learn for the trouble of reading a book just how valuable or detrimental every living creature is upon his farm. The skins and skulls of each animal and a few complete skeletons of each species are being preserved and carefully put away for future study. These specimens are being added to our zoological museum. The professor proposes also to study methods of exterminating injurious species, by trapping, poisons, and acids. Just what method will be best to pursue in killing each kind of animal will be valuable information.
For example, Bisphosphate of Carbon poured in the holes of geophers and other burrowing animals is a feasible means of extermination.
The professor has spent hundreds of dollars in purchasing a library on small mammals, and as there has been no one
work published on the subject, he must pick up little gritics wherever they appear. Some man will describe a new species of mouse in a magazine or journal, and thus many species have been discovered and described one by one, and it requires a great deal of expense and labor to collect these descriptions and put them into an accessible library.
The only systematic work of any extent that is being done in this line except that by Professor Dyche is being carried on by C. Hart Merriam, mammalogist in the department of agriculture, Washington, D.C. Mr. Merriam is making a study of small mammals for economic purposes.
Regarding Examinations
Professor Blake recently asked the members of one of his classes to consider the value of written examinations at the close of the term as a test of the quality of work done by the student. The next day the students were asked to write their opinions regarding the matter and hand them in without signatures. The gist of each of the thirty one replies is given below. The students who wrote the replies are among the best students of the University and there is no reason to believe that their answers are not a true index of their opinions.
1. Some cannot do themselves justice.
Some can cheat. Examinations encourage crumming. Should make standard from daily work.
2. In some branches examinations are necessary. Class work should count more than examination.
3. Inducements to cheat and cram.
Waste of time. Class recitations and oral examinations best.
4. Grade on class work with review of the subject toward end of term. Dread of examinations and brevity produce confusion.
5. Oral quizzes occasionally counting $\frac{1}{4}$ class recitations $\frac{1}{2}$. No examinations.
6. Grade on every day recitations. No examination.
7. Written examinations in science studies not desirable. In general, examinations not necessary for students who some to school to learn something.
8. Examinations make one feel that the subject is thrust upon them contrary to the taste of the independent American.
9. Written or oral examinations in physics not a fair test. Short written examinations occasionally good.
10. Oral quizzes now and then a good thing. Fear of final examination would be removed by all quizzes having the same weight.
11. Occasional examination good: oral for small classes, written for large.
12. Marked daily recitation and attention. Cramming the course of exclamation and these encourage ponies. Every teacher knows in his own mind the ability of every pupil in his class.
13. Frequent oral examinations with out previous notice.
14. Grade on daily recitations.
14. Grade on daily recitations.
15. Grade on daily recitations.
16. Frequent reviews and class recitations.
Close of term or year have a thorough review and final examination.
17. Individual examinations at the
17. Individual oral examination at the close of the term. Class recitation.
18. Grade on daily recitations.
19. Grade on general class work
20. Written better than oral examinations,
but class grading best.
21. Oral examinations occasionally during the term.
22. Examinations waste of time. The class work daily.
23. Examinations induce cramming.
Not a fair test.
24. Examinations necessary in some branches. In science, daily recitations without examinations.
25. Written examinations are best with about ten questions to answer.
26. Grade on attendance, attention,
and interest shown by student daily.
Frequent reviews and oral quizzes.
Written examinations not a fair standard.
27. With young students, examine
tions necessary. In physics, daily work and occasionally themes.
38. Examinations unnecessary because of examining and cheating, and unnecessary for the professor to guage student by.
29. Examinations in mathematics and languages necessary. Subject of physics too broad for few questions and time wasted.
30. Examinations as a rule unecessary. Daily work the test.
31. Examinations useless for students who are forced to get an education. Students nimble for graduation or a degree need examination to establish a standard. For students who come for information or culture examinations should be frequent but optional with student and not largely effect standing.
Single Tax vs. Socialism.
At the court house Tuesday night Mr. Lawrence Grombund met Mr. W, H,T. Wakefield of this city in joint debate.
.
House was called to order at 8.05 p.m. and the question put—"Resolved. That the single or rental value tax on land exclusive of improvements together with public ownership of all public utilities is a better and more feasible solution of present economical problems than is State socialism."
Mr. Wakefield opened for the affirmative in a 40 minute speech. He defined himself as an individualist of the Henry George School. "Land is a fixed quantity; the higher the tax, the cheaper the land. The single tax moves on the lines of least resistance and on a purely scientific bases would take for the society what is created by society and now appropriated by the land-owning class on the foil annual land rental. Man can produce only improvement values; land values are the result of the growth of the community. It is not a tax on labor; it is not a tax at all. It confiscates only man's power to confiscate. Under the present system the assessor follows the progressive man. The opulent are the favored and the few. The growing wage-earner is hammered by a malicious tax from the cradle to the grave. The unimproved and unoccupied lot must pay the same taxes as the adjoined lot upon which stands a house with all its blessings. The speaker next argued at length in advocacy on the second phase of the affirmative, "the government ownership of all public utilities."
ar. groundh in opening for the negative declared that his opponent was a socialist in so far as he demanded the nationalization "of all public utilities." The former speaker declared it to be the duty of the government to own and operate all railroads, telegraphs, telephones, express companies and other "national monopolies" and of the municipalities to control all such "public utilities" as water works, gas plants, electric plants, and street railways. This says Mr. Groulmund, is not single tax but semi-democracy in industry. Socialism contemplates the government management of all capital, democracy in industry. Single tax would not only confiscate the property of but one class but proposes to remit to all other classes what taxes, they do now pay. It would shift speculation, which now affects land, to other industries thus stepping up a fearful competition that must inevitably result in greater evil.

The time is come when the question of equal suffrage for men and women is again brought before us, and arguments which we hoped had been lost in the multitude of better thoughts, are again forced upon us.
We hear on the one hand the old cries,
"Women do not want to vote,they do not know enough to vote, they will neglect home duties if they vote." And a nighted few exclaim, "Well, if women want to vote they will have to go to work and learn to plow and fight." On the other hand there is the call for women to rise against their oppressors, the would-be lords of creation, the vile men who have ever trodden upon these pure angelic creatures and robbed them of property, happiness and even life.
Amid this struggle of prejudice and ignorance, the flings of sarcasm and radicule from opponents and the unpleasing rant of friends of the measure, it is no wonder that intelligent and cultured men and women often cast the question wholly aside as one unworthy their consideration. They are weary of the never-ending discussion of the relative mental or physical strength of men and women, the continual settling over of the sexes against each other, and sometimes seem justified in saying, "This is a question of minor importance at best—we prefer to spend our energies for some more worry end."
But is there not some consideration that might call forth the interest of anyone, however cultured or however high his aim—a ground where all farmed men and women might unite?
Grant the claims of those who say women do not want to vote—grant the claims of those who assert that the individual has no rights. Is the question of sultrage for women to be settled by the desires or rights of any individual or number of individuals? It seems rather a question of duty—the duty of every individual, man or woman, to be deeply interested in the welfare of humanity, to be ready to make use of the means offered to place around the young an influence for purity. Many assert that it is woman's special province to be pure and make others pure and noble. And no doubt this is true. It is the special province of women, and of men, the most important thing for every human being to care for the purifying and enmobling of character. It is the duty of every American citizen to do what lies within his power to make his representatives, those to whom as the choice of the people, young people naturally look as examples of what their lives should be, to make these representatives men whose lives are worthy of imitation.
And on the other hand, have we the right to deny any human being the opportunity for full development? Is it not rather the duty of all to remove obstacles to the development of the latent powers, to help others become all they can be, to fill completely their places in the final perfect whole.
Those who recognize the holiness of humanity and who feel it their duty to lift and purify it and give it freedom to expand into what it was meant to be, will not avoid the vexations issues which are in reality the immediate means to purer, nobler life. X.
which could get the great football coach from Koenigsberg. All these may well have been true,—who knows? But we have to deal with something very different.
"Patriotism Rewarded."
The two towns, Warzenheim and Heidenheim, in Germany, were the most bitter rivals. Their strife had not come to actual warfare, as differences have done in some instances in Kansas, but it extended to almost every kind of occupation. We have heard it said, indeed, that some of the inhabitants of Heidenheim would actually refuse to speak to anyone hailing from the opposing town. Probably these were rivals in horse-racing, in pigeon shooting, or in the elections—surely in business. Perhaps they had opposing athletic teams, they might even have been in competition as to
We must now (explain one of the great national customs in Germany. If Germany may be said to have a national bird, it is the cuckoo. The bird is most highly prized there, both for its voice and its beautiful plumage. We know not whether it is considered to possess prophetic power, as its cousin, the rainbow, is here considered to possess it, but that is immaterial. There is a great diversity among cuckoos, however, some being very much finer than others. On this account the finest become so valuable that it is impossible for private parties to own the bird, hence they are purchased by the town corporations. Thus each town has its favorite cuckoo, which it backs against all comers, in singing matches. We have never heard of the birds' being used in another matter.
Heidenheim and Wurzenheim, of course, owned each a cuckoo, very fine birds, both of them, having large, glossy yellow beaks. Both birds were so tame that they were given complete freedom, and sometimes they would meet and have a contest by themselves.
It was on an occasion of this kind that Hans Schildberger, a respectable ocasant living in Wurzheim, riding along through the forest on his good gray nag, saw the birds high up in a tree, each singing with all his might, trying to draw the other out, and also to give the most notes to the minute.
Hans listened to the contest with deep interest, becoming greatly excited when he perceived that the Heildenheim cuckoo was getting the best of the Wurzenheim bird.
At last he could stand it no longer, so, dismounting, he climbed the tree and began shouting "Cuckoo! cuckoo!" as fast as he could. With this efficient aid Han's champion soon vanquished its opponent, which was obliged to fly off in humiliation.
But while Hans was thus busily employed a wolf appeared and completely devoured the good gray horse. Hans proudly walked home, however, and related the whole occurrence to his fellow townmen. They immediately held a town meeting and voted to replace the valuable horse to Hans for his distinguished services to the community.
Madame Schumann as a Teacher.
BY MATHILDE WURM.
It is not easy, as I say, to give a description of Mine. Schumann's method of instruction; she is not given to many words, and she makes her impressions upon the pupils more by what she does not say than through the medium of language. After one has studied under her, and, looking backward, tries to analyze her methods, there comes to the memory only the picture of a quiet, pleasant lady, firm but gentle, patient and encouraging, whose very presence is an inspiration. Let me try to describe the picture: Seated at the piano is a diffident pupil, a girl who is touched with awe that is inspired by the presence of a person of genius. Near the piano, in an arm chair, sits a lady with silver hair—Mine. Schumann. She wears a black silk dress, very plain and fuit-skirred, and on her head rests a black lace cap; upon her fingers are many rings which flash in the light with every movement of her soft, pink-white hands, which are large, though symmetrical and beautiful. She watches the pupil intently, and often with a naive apologetic remark, plays a passage here and when she is not fully satisfied.
and rubs them together. She is not content to teach her pupils how to interpret music on the piano alone; she also gives them lessons in harmony, counterpoint, choir singing, and, in short, gives them a thorough musical education. Nor does she rest here.
When she is pleased she relaxes a little; she never praises extravagantly, but her smile of satisfaction and approval is long remembered by the tortuates upon whom it is bestowed. When she is displeased she agitates her hands nervously
Pupils' concerts are held in Frankfort each year, some five or six of them. Without exaggeration I may say that the Schumann pupils always acquire themselves more satisfactorily than any others. Mme. Schumann watches them very closely. Once one of them played rather badly. Mme. Schumann said nothing to her at the time, but at the next lesson she approached the girl, and instead of upbraiding and reprimanding she simply looked at her* and said plaintively: "What shall I do with von?" That pupil was more ashamed than she would have been had Mme. Schumann vented her anger upon her.
"One most caress the piano, not hit it," she will say, and she is very particular in enforcing this principle.
Mme. Schumann teaches most of Schumann, Beethoven, and Bach; she dislikes pyrotechnics in music; she likes the music of the heart, expressing the emotions of life; she is an ardent admirer of all that is great and beautiful in art; her heart is tender and great, her mind is vast, and she lives in an atmosphere far removed from all envy or petty jealousies. Before playing Schumann in public she always roads over again some of the old love letters which he wrote to her during the days of their courtship. They fill her with a better understanding of his music, and help her to interpret the spirit of his works aright.
On one occasion when playing the beautiful F minor Sonata which was written just before her marriage, some memories of that happy time must have arisen before her, for tears trickled down her cheeks. The audience understood and appreciated and the artist at the instrument gave them such an interpretation of Schumann as they are never likely to hear again - Etude.
AMUSEMENTS
NANON
The W. T. Cartton Opera company will appear at the opera house Tuesday evening January 16 in an elaborate production of Genee's charming opera, "Nanon." Mr. Cartton is singing in the same manner that has characterized his previous seasons and if anything his voice is rounder and more full while historically he may be said to be perfect. Mr. Carleton has determined to make no increase whatever on the usual schedule of prices now in force with the company, 20c 50c 75c and $1.00, thus giving the masses the opportunity of hearing his company. Seats will be on sale Saturday morning.
THE CHICAGO LADY QUARTETTE
The above organization is announced at the opera house for next Friday evening, Jan. 19th. We clip the following from the Minneapolis, Minn., Tribune:
THE CHICAGO LADY QUARTETTE
"It was a very pretty and commendable entertainment that the Chicago Lady Quartette gave at the Lyceum last evening—an entertainment which was thoroughly enjoyed by the audience. The spectacle of four young ladies of graceful presence, attired in simple, dove-colored gowns, singing music which everyone could understand was novel and refreshing in itself. There was something home-like and refining in it. Those present felt that they were not to be bored by vocal pyrotechnics. There was an informality and heartiness about everything they did which made the proverbial tedium of conerts fade out of recollection. The program was a very agreeable one, almost every number being enthusiastically enced. The ladies have excellent voices which show careful cultivation."

Held Up by a Dalton-Baker it. His Hands
In the local oratorical contest at Baker University last week, Mr. C B Dalton, of Junction City, easily placed himself at the head of those who were competing for the honor of standing in the State Contest to represent Methodist eloquence and culture. "Revolution or Evolution?" he asked in the title of his oration, and answered his own question. Mr. M. W. Games won the second place; his oration was rather a scholar's. The other contestants, in the order of their standing, are, G. A. Marvel, H. B. Wren, and H. E. Cullison. So many contesting, there was of course a probability that some of the orations could not be of the best rank; yet those delivered are notwithstanding of such excellence as to be creditable to craters and school.
Simpson Elected.
At a meeting of the Freshman Class yesterday afternoon, J. A. Simpson, the non-fraternity candidate, was elected President.
Remarkable Acting.
Remarkable acting was done one night this week in Topeka, when one actor so successfully impersonated a "star," their entire across two states, as to deceive an entire audience who were familiar with the star's acting. Mr. Shine, a member of the company traveling with the noted Mr. Robison, is the actor who did this, the acting he counterfeited being none other than Mr. Robison's. It is said that the deception was complete, Mr. Shine's fcial expression, carriage, and intonation following that of Mr. Robison in every respect! An amusing circumstance attending Mr. Robson's unavoidable failure to be in the city was, the publication by one of the papers of an alleged interview of goodly length, said to have been gotten that afternoon from Mr. Robson, at which time he was in Chicago. The paper is now trying strentulously to wriggle out of its humiliating position as a publisher of "fake" interviews, by censuring the actor because he was away and permitted Mr. Shine to deceive every one by his acting.
The Glee and Banjo Club.
The concert to morrow night promises to be the best musical attraction in Lawrence this year. The universal critic sum of persons competent to judge has been, that the concerts of this year's club are superior in every respect to those given by the club last year. The St. Joe Heard said after the Yale Club had been there that there was no comparison between the two clubs, the Kansas Club is so much the superior. The club is a University organization, the members of which have been chosen solely upon their respective merits as musicians. Every patriotic student and every student who loves good music will go to the concert and assist in giving the boys the largest and most enthusiastic audience e of the season. A price of fifty cents to all parts of the house has been made in order that everybody may go.

Sergeant N. P. Hanson, of Fort Riley, who has been taking a special course in English at the University for several months, has received orders from his captain to report at Fort Riley on the 15th of this month. Mr. Hanson thinks it very probable that his whole regiment, the 7th cavalry, will soon be ordered to Fort Bliss, on the Mexican border, for field duty, replacing the regiment now on duty there. His many friends at K. U. will regret Mr. Hanson's departure.
The society event of the season, in the nature of a University ball, occurred last Friday night at F. A. A. hall; being a reception to the Glee Club.
The Glee Club Reception.
The hall was gaily decorated with crimson, giving it a very like-like apearance. About sixty couples danced until a late hour to the music of Prof. Saunders orchestra.
A few of the fraternity people present seemed to object to the presence of "barbs and all sorts of people" but since the "Barbs" paid for the ball, their presence was reluctantly tolerated.
Oratorical Contest at Emporia College.
The local ecotourist contest was held Saturday night. The five contestants, Shier, Carle, Everett, Pratt, and Anderson, were ranked by the judges in the order above given. Of Mr. E. P. Shier, who will represent Emporia College at the State contest, *College Life* says: "He was self possessed and carried his audience with him in his thought. His gestures were graceful and his delivery had few faults. The subject of Mr. Shier's oration is: 'Is a Democratic Paternalism Possible'."

A MILITARY SCHOOL
The Government Department of Army Instruction to be Brought to the Kan-
A resolution was introduced at the last meeting of the State Military Board by Brigadier General Sears, which if acted upon favorably will result in an acquisition to the State University of the greatest importance.
General Sears has been in communication for several months past with Captain Edwin B. Bolton of the 23rd infantry, U. S.A., and professor of military science and tactics at the State Agricultural College, at Manhattan in regard to the military department of that college. Owing to the discouraging outlook for the continuance of the government military school at that institution, the military board has taken under advisement the proposition to transfer the school to the State University.
The president and board of regents of the Agricultural College are more than willing to have the military department removed and it only remains for the State University authorities to take the necessary steps to have the transfer made by an order from the department or by congressional action.
Mrs. Scammon's Lecture
The ladies' literary clubs of Lawrence extend a cordial invitation to the young women of the University to hear a lecture on "The Christ in Art" to be given by Mrs. Laura Scammon of Kansas City, in music hall Saturday at 2:30 p. m.
These clubs intend to make use of this occasion on which they will be met together to raise a contribution for the Woman's Club of Chicago, which is attempting to furnish work for the destitute unemployed women of whom there are so many thousands in that great city. For this purpose an admission fee of ten dollars is added to others than University girls. If they wish to hear Mrs. Scanmon's lecture and at the same time help in this charitable enterprise.

The stock of the STUDENTS JOURNAL company consists of non-transferable one dollar shares. Any student, instructor or employee in university may hold one and only one share.
This paper is on file at the editorial rooms of the University Review, 236 Fifth avenue, New York, where all college men are given a hearty welcome.
THE date of the oratorical contest has been changed to Jan. 26. The contest will be held in the University chapel. Every student who desires to encourage oratory in the University should attend the contest and cheer the orators to greater effort.
PROFESSOR NEWSON has favored us with a brief description of the editoria management of the college paper of Ohio Wesleyan. The plan is certainly a good one and would do much to raise the tone of journalism in our own Univers-ity.
WE ARE pleased to give Mr. Gronland a column in which to answer our criticism of his address in the Historical Seminary week before last. Whether we think with Mr. Gronland or not, nevertheless the question which he represents is worthy the consideration of every student.
AT BAKER University, students are required to attend five chases a day or twenty-five recitations a week. Some of them are objecting' because it gives them no time for reading newspapers and for general reading. With us it is very hard to get permission to take five studies. We think the Baker student' point is well taken.
The State University may now have military training for her students, for the asking. The students have long since declared themselves to be eager for such training. The fact that the students of the Agricultural College do not take an interest in the matter is no reason why students of K U., where no physical training is provided, would not support a military department.
No. I. Vol. II, of the North Western Law Review comes from Chicago. H. S. Hudley is editor-in-chief and R. D. Brown and G. F. Martin are associates. J. F. Nobile is one of the five assistant editors. Noble, Brown, and Hudley graduated from Kansas University in 1891. Several of the more valuable articles read before the "Lawyers Congress" held in in July will be published during the year.
WHILE students are deliberating upon the question, what studies next term? It is not out of place to express a caution against attempting too much. It is stale advice, to be sure, and some will be little inclined to follow it until after they have proved its soundness by wasting a term or two in trying to carry four or more studies, and used up much of their reserve of brain energy in too prodigal exertion. Nevertheless, the student who attempts no more than he can accomplish without stretching his mental and physical powers beyond their normal limit will in the end do more than the crammer.

THE STUDENTS JOURNAL MEETING.
THE STUDENTS JOURNAL MEETING.
The report of the committee to propose terms of combination with the Conrier Company was heard. The committee proposed to the committee from the Conrier Company to suspend the publication of both the Conrier and STUDENTS JOURNAL and to establish a new paper known as the STUDENTS JOURNAL and declared to be a combination of the Conrier and STUDENTS JOURNAL. Any member of the University could hold one non-transferable share and any share holder would be qualified to hold any office. The STUDENTS JOURNAL company refused to become liable for any debts whatsoever of the Conrier Company. more than the par value of all the shares taken by the Conrier the new company. The committee of the Conrier had not replied to the proposition.
The constitution of the STUDENTS JOURNAL company was amended to re prire a vote of the company before money can be drawn from the treasury if the company by the business managers.
The officers elected for the following team are: Frank Horace Moore, '94, editor-in-chief; Rollin Elliot Blackman, '94, local editor; Charles Henry Lease and Warren Edwards, '95, business managers; Prof. W. H. Carruth, treasurer; and Miss Ellie Loader, secretary.
The newly elected officers were all chosen by the company because they were thought to be the best in the company for their respective places. The election was entirely free from political intrigue. The new officers will take charge of the paper at the beginning of the next term.
THE ENROLLMENT.
The copy for the new catalogue shows the enrollment of students to be slightly below that of last year. It is however earlier in the year than it was when the last catalogue was published.
In the School of Arts there are 23 Graduate students, 41 Seniors, 50 Juniors, 25 Sophomores, 96 Freshmen. 3Preparatory medical, and 48 Specials, making a total of 313. 194 are men and 119 are women.
The School of Engineering has 3 Graduate students, 6 Seniors, 29 Juniors, 5 Sophomores, 44 Freshmen, and 15 Specials, total 97.
There are 23 Senior Pharmies, 22 Juniors and 3 Specials, 48 in all. Five of the Pharmacy students are women. Of the 72 students of Law, 30 are Juniors.
Music Graduate 4, 2d year 8, 1st year 16. Painting; 3d year 2. There are 90 preparatory music students, but as 8 names are repeated we shall call the number 82.
Extension students are numerous, too numerous to mention. It is estimated that in Kansas City, Kas , alone, there are three hundred. We shall give only those that have enrolled as regular students and hope to obtain credit for their work. Of such, there are in Kansas City. Mo., 20; Kansas City, Kas , 75; Leavenworth, 70; Iola 40, and Lawrence 49.
Chancellor Snow called a mass meeting of students Tuesday noon for the purpose of forming a University Publishing Company. A committee of nine members was elected to draw up articles of agreement for such a company. The projectors of the scheme propose to buy a complete printing outlet and hire printers, and publish, at the University, one mouthy magazine and one weekly newspaper, and do job printing for the University.
The total enrollment of the University is 890.
A MASS MEETING.
We are heartily in favor of any plan that will further the interests of journalism in the University and believe that possibly some arrangement can be made for combination.
By a general inventory made by the assistant librarian, the National Library of France situated at Paris has been found to contain 2,150,000 volumes.
OUR STUDY WINDOW.
His Dream.
Before his father died matters had stood quite differently. His life had flown on easily, so easily that he never thought there could be such a serious side to his existence—he had, in fact, hardly thought about it. He lived in his world of ideals. His castles rose up high; they were not to be mere air castles, but real buildings with stone foundations. He longed to be an architect. He had always since his earliest days, when he wore his stockings outkneeding on the nursery floor to build what childish fancy proposed,—since then he had always wanted to become a designer of houses. Then as he grew older he learnt more and more about the subject; he eagerly grasped at the books of that vocation. He read of the old Indian masters, of the building of St. Peter, of the grotesque palaces of the Byzantine period and the airy creations of the Moorish conquerors. Then it pained him more and more to see the wildly angled style of his own city—an American city.
He used to take long walks of a Sunday morning with his sister, and talk long about his hopes. He knew he might enter an office and learn the profession as most follows do. But he did not consider it a profession; to him it was an art. He had set himself a high standard,—too high,he knew,to reach without years of study. He wanted to study. He wanted to go to France, to the Beaux-Arts of Paris. His father had agreed to all his plans; he spoke to his son about many points, arguing against him, but secretly proud of the boy's firm resolution.
"It is not an easy thing, Jack," he said,
"and I don't want you to make a failure of it."
"I know," the young fellow answered,
"I'm sure I might succeed. I've got so many ideas in my head. And then if they should turn out well, wouldn't it be fine? They always make fun of this country abroad, especially of its art.
Now if the Americans turn out a—well, you know—if I should be successful, it would be fine, wouldn't it?"
He dreaded on in this way, his younger brother and his sisters teasing him often about his stare, that looked where they could never look, into a glorious future. The only one who understood him was his father. His mother did not; she was practical, with a dear, tender heart, but not at all compr heeding his feelings for the beautiful.
There came the morning when his father had to stay from business. He was not quite well. Five days later the boy took the place at the head of the table. It was so strange to see his mother opposite in black and the children all with quiet faces that seemed to feel, but not to know, that something unusual had happened.
He was then but seventeen. Yet some how he felt old, very much older than he felt the day before, when they had carried the collin out of the house. A weight fell upon his heart as he bravely tried to carve the meat for the younger ones. He could hardly look about, everything seemed to swim
When a week was over, he walked to school again, with his younger brother; but he was not nearly as companionable as before, and Harry told him so.
"Run down this street with me," called the latter. "Don't grump. I no didn't mean it," he went on, seeing the other one's face sad. "I thought you might like to."
A few evenings after that, his mother took him into her room.
"You know we can't go on living as we have lived. For sorry, my dear boy, but your drawing lessons will have to stop. We'll have to save a little here and there. I'd love to have you continue, Jack, but you see, since papa"—and she began to sob.
"Things have turned out differently from what we expected," she began.
Poor Jack did not know what to say
He tried to comfort her as best he could "I don't mind it a bit," he tried to answer in a laughing way. "You know it was just something to pass the time. I liked it a little."
But when he was alone in his room, the tears came. He tried to keep them down. He sat in his chair and looked as his view of the restored Parthenon, that hung over the desk. How often he had looked at it, and in his young, rapid fever, had imagined that some day he might create something nearly as good—nearly, perhaps. after years of hard work.
"Will I still succeed?" he murmured, and ran to the wash stand to cool his hot eyes.
In two months the school month was over. He was glad that it was. He did not feel at ease with his former comrades. He had outgrown them. He was so much older his mind was occupied with other thoughts than of tricks and of pranks. The widow had confided in him, had taken of affairs pass and to come, to ease her aching heart. The times were bad, and his father had been a man who had lived closely up to the margin of his income. He had loved his wife and believed death far away. The surplus he had had a wde every year had been very small he hoped that the years would heap up his fortune.
But now the house had to be given up as the private lessons were. The family was large and the children had good appetites.
"Jack," said his mother as he was hanging his Parthenon picture over his bed in the new room that he was to share with his brother, "your school year is ended now; I am afraid your school life is, Jack" She talked rapidly, she thought it might hurt him less. "You will have to go into business. I've spoken to your uncle and the lawyers, too. It will be necessary. Harry has still to study four years, before he'll be as far as you are now, and the girls are small and have a long time before them. We all have to give up something, you see." She kissed him gently.
"Into what business?"
"I know you should have liked to become an architect," she went on. "But its very hard to get a suitable position, uncle says. He has found another occupation, however. And he has been very kind about it. You must thank him, Jack, when he comes to-night. You and cousin Fred are to enter together into an importing house."
"Importing," he repeated mechanically. "It was very kind of him, mamma."
She left the room with some linen she had been sorting. He followed her and then turned back, unconsciously looking at his view of the Panthenon.
"My castles crumble—are all crumbling away," he signed. "I'll work so that Harry and the girls will have a chance to do something. They may want to, though I don't it. Good-bye to my dreams." E. G. K
诗 篇
Did you ever try to study back in the alcoves? Or rather, did you ever succeed in studying back in the alcoves? It is like traveling in a railroad coach over a road with which you are perfectly familiar. Moreover, the train you have chosen to take is an accommodation train, which stops at every station and goes so slow between stations, that the passengers can get on and off at any time and any place. The view outside of the ear window is so well known that you prefer to read or watch your fellow passengers. You happen to be a person not particularly interested in the study of human nature, hence you carry a copy of Emerson, and having reversed your seat in order not to ride back warrants, you make yourself comfortable for an hour's enjoyment.
Already the passengers are getting on and off. Here comes a neat looking fellow carrying his baggage to such a manner that one might suppose he had stolen it. The seat opposite you is vacant. He stops for a moment and surveys it, not daring to sit down in it until
he has been assured by you that the seats is not engaged. After his ingage has been carefully arranged, and his breathing becomes natural—he has been on the cars but a few times before—he grows slightly bold and asks in a more confident manner if you are reading Emerson, evidently not thoroughly convinced that the big gilt letters on the back of your book are telling the truth. Your neighbor must be told in some way that you do not want to be disturbed, so turning over the book, you spell out for him the title of the volume. Sociability ceases here.
But all is quiet now. The passenger across the aisle has at last grown weary of dreaming on the steam pipes with his lead pench, and is gazing steadily丛过 of the window, wishing the train would run faster, or that he had some way to amuse himself.
How loud Emerson becomes! All of a sudden you seem to comprehend what you are reading. The noise in the other end of the car does not annoy you. People are coming and going by you all the time, but you do not notice them.
What means this unusual commotion?
Only two pretty girls, as fresh as pinks,
tripping down the aisle. You don't
look up, oh, no! But you do catch the
monotonous "I said" and "he said" as
they trip past you.
How pleasant! They have an acquaintance on the train, and the two stop at her seat.
After the usual gushing remarks and the -for one moment- threatened panic of conversation, one of the girls says to her acquaintance.
"I've heard the greatest thing."
"I've heard the greatest thing."
"What is it?" said the other two.
"Oh, I can't tell you."
"Oh, yes, can!"
"No, I won't."
"I think you're real mean."
"Shi-u-h u-h, don't you see that fellow frowning over there?"
"Yes, but I think you might tell us"
"No—yes, come down to the other end of the car and I will."
The three arise, pass down the aisle, covering their beaming faces with their bandkerchiefs, and smothering giggles in anticipation of the revelation that is to come.
"I'm glad they're gone," you think, "I can endure most anything except giggling girls."
A slap on your shoulder aroses you from this soiloppy and looking up you see a class mute. He does not want anything in particular. He just thought he would stop and see what you are doing. Once again all is quiet. This time, though external conditions are favorable, your mind begins to wander and you wonder if you shall have as much fun at the next skating party as you did at the last.
Ah! Here are our friends again. Flushed faces and animated eyes signify the revelation of the awful secret.
"Really we must behave," says one.
"Yes, indeed," says another, "now don't you look at me for I shall surely laugh."
You and the girls have just got resettled, when the meek fellow opposite

you discovers that the rounds of your chair make an excellent foot rest and a musical one, too, if a certain amount of pressure be applied at regular intervals. One of the three girls has finally become interested in a book, it led to all outward appearances, for she leaves it through twice before the long searched-for class color falls out upon her lap.
"How fine looking," says one, "and
don't he dress stylishly?"
What is it that is attracting the attention of the girl? A man, to be sure.
You, too, must see this rare specimen. You would like to get a look at his face, but his back being turned, the extremely fashionable collar obstrues the view. At last you are thoroughly disgusted. Disgusted with others, all of us with yourselves are unable to concentrate our mind. The question arises, many people have passed you in the last halfour. You are going to count the next hour and see. When the bell rings, your tally sheet shows a record of one hundred and five people.
Lawrence Gronland on Collectivism.
Allow me to say, in reference to your kind criticisms of my address before the University, that it should be looked upon as the second of a series, the first of which (containing the very explanations you fail to find) had been delivered at Unity church. But I must contess, that indeed, I assumed more sympathy with socialism (or collectivism) in this intellectual center of Kansas than elsewhere. I did think that the having breathed for a couple of years this atmosphere of revolt against the old parties would in a few educated minds have removed the prejudice against Democracy in Industry, have conquered the bias in favor of capitalistic management, and, at least, would have induced a member to become a little acquainted with socialism. A friend of professors, Prof. Platter, of Zurich, Switzerland, who claims to know the American character from the fact, that a number of American students have been his pupils in political economy, warned me on starting out from Washington, that I might not find one generous, cultushastic American youth. "I never protested against this pessimism. Note, however, that by "generous and enthusiastic" he means one who despises money making, who is ready to defy capitalists, if they can be shown now to be inimical to the social welfare. There were such Americans in the Brook Farm; if there now are such among our educated youths, surely, they should be found in Lawrence. Such are absolutely needed. If America is to be regenerated, If not found among the educated, they must be sought among the uneducated. But this is highly to be regretted, for only under the leadership of intelligence will socialism be an unmixed blessing; it may require a century and much blood shed, unless it be introduced under the auspices of the higher intelligence.
But the sure of one thing, socialism is coming, nothing can prevent that. Moreover, since evolution in its last stages is always swift, socialism most likely will be a burning issue in our country by the close of this century. Indeed, our trusts may be said to show, that socialism is here now, for they may be defined as Socialism in action for the private benefit of capitalists. They conclusively show, that private capital, or private management of capital, is becoming a stumbling block to our progress, for the origin of our Trusts is precisely due to this; hence the trust is a natural evolution; hence all legislation against trusts is just as futile as would laws against gravitation. They will develop till by the first decade of next century, when we shall have a hundred millions of people, all industries will be under the control of trusts, extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific; then—if not before—collectivism will impose itself as a necessity. Which means that we shall have public management of all industries by the nation in its sphere, by the states in their sphere and by the municipalities in their sphere; or, what is the same thing, every citizen will be a public functionary, all will take part in the administration, each in his place.
We shall have the perfect state, where the interests of all citizens coincide with the interests of the whole. Collectivism will come, because it is democracy in industry, and as such supplementary to democracy in politics. Our country took the first step a century ago, when it changed personal authority politically into impersonal authority, the authority of the laws; we still submit to somebody's personal will in industry—aye, we are more abjectly dependent on the capitalists than any other country; but we shall logically have to take the second step and change dependence on the individual into inter-dependence, or into dependence on the impersonal collectivity. Lastly, collectivism is coming, because Americans are evidently more and more coming to lean towards municipal ownership and nationalization of great public utilities. Even the anti-socialistic single taxers are paying this much tribute to the socialistic spirit. He who will advocate such socialization is at present a good enough socialist for me. When once we get these public enterprises socialized and in good working order with a real civil service—and this is a sine qua non—all our citizens will become so impatient, so voraciously hungry for the extension of collectivism to all other industries, that we shall adopt it with the same swiftness with which Christianity conquered the Roman empire, as soon as Constantine was converted.
The University Glee and Banjo club gave its annual concert in Bowersock's opera house last Friday night. The house was well filled, and the audience listened attentively to the well rendered program. The members were enthusiastically received and many encores were given. Prof. Farrel's whistling made quite a hit, being especially fine in the obligato in "The Nightingale" song. Franklin in his comic parts also won hearty applause.
The Concert.
Mr. Sear's readings were finally executed and took well with his audience.
The violin numbers by Prof. Farell, the "Intermezzo" by the Bjan Club, and the work of the Glee Club throughout, were of high order. K. U. has reason to be proud of her Glee Club, as it is the best she has ever put out.
A Bit of Experience.
At the suggestion of some of the staff of the STUDENTS JOURNAL, I present to its readers a bit of experience in college journalism, which deals directly upon some of the points now under discussion among our students. In my day at Ohio Wesleyan University, there was but one paper published by the students, and that was in the hands of the Senior class. The Juniors sometime during the year elected by ballot their board of editors to serve for one year. This board had exclusive control of the paper and was responsible to the powers that be for its contents.
All factions of the college were represented on this board, and it was usually composed of the best material in the class. (The proposition that this "best material" is usually to be found scattered through all factions is too nearly self-evident to require demonstration.) The paper was not run in the interest of any faction and so was heartily supported by all. All party feeling, however, was not suppressed, for opposite tendencies were often manifest in different departments of the paper. Thus during my Senior year the editorial writer practically immersed the fraternity spirit in boiling oil from, kindly motives, he maintained, because he believed that said spirit before its advent to this cold world had long been accustomed to a warmer clime. The local editor, when occasion demanded would puff his Phi Gamma brethren in the most approved style. The exchange editor had a weakness for Phi Delt news from other colleges, etc. But there were few excesses and all were happy because all were represented.
pay the commencement expenses of the class. Lower classmates gave their willing support because they realized that in time they would be the beneficiaries of the plan.
The profits of enterprise amounted to several hundred dollars and were used to
The Senior class also managed a very popular and successful lecture course; the profits from this course also went into the class treasury. My class found itself at commencement time with more than a thousand dollars in the treasury, and after paying all legitimate class expenses was still able to make a handsome donation to the alumni alieve of the college library.
The moral of this tale is not hard to find.
H. B. NEWSON,
Charles Dickson.
It is very rare that the announcement of any coming attraction causes the wide-spread interest which has been accorded to that of the appearance of Mr. Charles Dickson and his company of players who will again appear at the opera house next Friday evening.
On the occasion of his former visit to this city Mr. Dickson presented Mrs. Pacheco's exercising funny comedyaire "Incog," upon which occasion it scored an unstainable triumph. Next Friday night, Mr. Dickson will produce for the first time his new American Dramatic comedy, "Admitted to the Bar," a play which has been said by those who have seen it to be far superior to "Incog" and well worthy to follow as its successor.
Publishing Company Committee
The committee chosen at the mass meeting of students for the formation of a university Publishing company are: Prof. W. H. Carruth, chairman; Prof. Hopkins from faculty; C. S. Griffin from Review Geo. A. Schumacher, C. H. Lease, James V. May from the STUDENTS JOURNAL; C. R. Troxell, B. J. Horton and W. A. Matteus from the Courier.
AMUSEMENTS.
THE CHICAGO LADY QUARTETTE.
THE CHICAGO LADY QUARTETTE.
The above organization is announced at the opera house for next Friday evening, Jan. 19th. We elip the following from the Minneapolis, Minn., Tribune:
"It was a very pretty and commendable entertainment that the Chicago Lady Quartette gave at the Lyceum last evening—an entertainment which was thoroughly enjoyed by the audience. The spectacle of four young ladies of graceful presence, attired in simple, dove-colored gowns, singing music which everyone could understand was novel and refreshing in itself. There was something home-like and refining in it. Those present felt that they were not to be bored by vocal pyrotechnics. There was an informality and heartiness about everything they did which made the proverbial tediousness of concerts fade out of recollection. The program was a very agreeable one, almost every number being enthusiastically encorDED. The ladies have excellent voices which show careful cultivation."
"Side Tracked" is a roaring comedy, differing from the usual run of comedies in as much as it stands head and shoulders above them and has a plot. The specialties are said to be excellent, especially the dancing of Miss Llewellen
“SIDE TRACKED."
Seats will be placed on sale Saturday morning. Prices as usual.

THE COLLEGE WORLD.
The cry of the infinite Ocean, the voice of the infinite Sea;
The song of the nightly Spirit, in a cadenza soft and free,
Steadfast, forever unchanging, the tireless tides come and go;
No sound of joy or of sorrow, in that measureless, lithotrophic flow,
The cry of the infinite Ocean, the voice of the infinite Sea;
The night and breathe, gently, and presses a kiss of the lips of the deep.
A child is swaddled.
And the stars sink, drawn toward
when the earth calls them to sleep.
McCready Sykes in Nannery Lit., Magazine.
We feel like giving the following bit of advice to our would-be orators; "The subjects treated in the last state context were disgusting. "Personal inertia," "Magnetism of Mystery," "The World Citizen," "Materialism," "Aroused elbow," and a lot of similar themes were presented. What a lot of sky-scoaring essays! The judges, accustomed to earthly life, could not eye the top of the themes and gave the honors to the most earthly and sensible oration, "Webster and the constitution." Beware of cloudy topics. The everyday world is full of strong, beautiful themes, and you had better choose from them." —Delphic.
The six days' tournament between Columbia, Harvard, Yale and Princeton, for the inter-collegiate class championship, resulted in Columbia's retaining the cup, Harvard winning second place. The final score of games won is as follows: Columbia, 8; Harvard, 7; Yale, 5; Princeton, 3].
One of the very best of our exchange $ \overline{2} $ is the *Nassan Literary Magazine* published by the students of the Senior class of Princeton College. The appropriateness of its name impresses itself on even the casual observer and reader. No voice speaks so loudly in praise of both editors and contributors as the character of the articles themselves.
At the commencement of Roanoke College, the valedictorian was a full-blooded Indian of the Choctaw Nation, S. J. Huezer.
The American Peace Society at Boston has offered three prizes of $100, $50, and $25 for the best three essays by undergraduates on "Economic Waste in War." The essay is to consist of from 2,000 to 3,500 words. The faculty of each college is to decide on the best essay submitted at that college, and that essay alone is to be sent to the society. All papers must be in before July 15.
The Critic states that Mr. Backmore, he author of "Lorna Doone," on being asked recently to write a New Year's message for an American periodical, bluntly refused, saying that as the magazines had refused his story "Perly-gross," he "did not feel inclined to duck its head to the Americans."
Y, M, C, A, NOTES.
The Y, W, C, A. hold a daily prayer meeting in Professor Robinson's Latin room at 1 o'clock. This meeting will certainly be of great profit to those who attend.
At the college conference held Saturday, between thirty and forty delegates were present from various colleges and academies of the State. Chairman Geo. A. Eddy of Leavenworth, D. F. Shirk of Abilene, D. E. Pofer of Peabody, all of whom are members of the State executive committee of the Y. M. C. A. were present. State Secretary F. E. A. Smith was also there. Mr. John R. Mott of the international committee had charge of the conference. A few thoughts left
Ten or twelve of the conference delegates attended the Y. M. C. A prayer meeting Monday morning, and after chapel visited the University buildings. They declared themselves to be well pleased with the University equipment. Mr. Mctt spoke to a crowded house at the Baptist church Sunday night, and presented the work of the student volunteer movement for foreign missions. Sufficient money was raised to enable K. U. to send a delegate to the session International convention to be held in Detroit Feb. 28 to March 4.
by Mr. Matt are well worth repeating.
Regarding Bible study, Mr. Matt said that we must spend a regular time each day in studying the Bible—not about the Bible—for the purpose of our own spiritual growth. If God has a plan for your life you cannot afford to resist it.
The Glee Club at Kansas City.
Tuesday evening the University Glee and Banjol Club gave a concert in the Coutes opera house at Kansas City under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A as an attraction of their picture course. The audience was large and appreciative. Contrary to expectation, the Banjol club was preferred to the Glee club. The Kansas City journal says that the instrumental music was superior to the vocal. Mr. Farral is very highly complimented.

NOTES FROM THE CHANCELLOWS OFFICE.
The Clausellor received nearly a thousand chinch bug reports last week. Between two and three thousand reports had been received before and about three thousand experimenters have not yet reported.
Chancellor Snow has been busy this week preparing matter for the new catalogue. He is arranging a list of all this year's high school graduates and teachers. The reports from the High schools of the State have been very encouraging. The names of eighty-one High schools and thirteen academies will appear in the new catalogue as preparing students for admission to the University. Of this number, sixty-five schools fully prepare and only twenty-eight fall short to the amount of three terms work. These figures of course cannot but be gratifying to the Chancellor, as they show that a very substantial increase has been made since last year, when the number of preparatory High schools and Academies was only forty-five. The increase in the number of schools fully preparing for admission since 88, when Chancellor Snow was elected to his present position, shows a still more gratifying result. At that time the only High school whose courses were sufficient to admit their graduates without condition, were Emporia, Fort Scott, Topeka, and Leaven worth.

THE Review for January appears this week. It contains contributions by Messrs. Frank Menet, J. H. Mustard, A. L. Corbin and others.
THE English Department have appointed as literary editor of the Students Journal for the coming term Mr. Arthur Corbin, and Mr. John II. Henderson, associate.
If K. U. proposes to play football next season it would be a paying investment to employ the very best coach available. For if the team be properly trained the extra cott of a superior coach can be earned in a few games.
The high standing of our University among scientists and educators has been well shown by two events of the past week. On Tuesday Professor Frank Springer, an authority on crinoids, was here, having come to make examination of some specimens of crinoids which are found only in the University museum.
The course of Bible lectures to be offered next term will be of great value. Any student will find it profitable to attend them. May the day speedily come when public prejudice and fear will be so far removed that the Bible can be offered as a regular study in our carriage. A scientific study of the Bible can do no harm.
PROFESSOR MIRNSTERBERG who holds the chair of Physiological Psychology in Harvard University arrived in Lawrence yesterday. Professor Miensterberg is collecting material for a work "Education and Educational Institutions" and he has selected the Universities of Michigan and Kansas as the two representative institutions on which to base a study of of State Universities.
The annual meeting of the State college press association will be held in Topeka Feb. 23, the afternoon of the oratorical contest. There are about thirteen college papers of Kansas represented in the association, each of which will have two delegates at this meeting. The purpose of the association is to bring more closely together the college papers and to inspire in them the idea of raising the standard of college journalism in Kansas.
A FEW WORDS
After this issue the present management of the STUDENTS JOURNAL will have to bear neither the burden of the work nor the responsibility for the make-up of the paper, and we may say what follows without being liable to the charge of seeking to avoid the proper labors of our position.
We are free to say, therefore, that we hope the support given the paper during the service of the new editors will be what it ought to be. We do not refer to financial support, for the JOURNAL has not only paid the cost of its publication and the remuneration of its business managers, but out of its paid-in-stock funds has a goodly balance left, upon which there seems no probability that it will be necessary to draw. What we mean is, moral support and particularly literary support.
We have no desire to accuse members of the company generally with manifesting no interest in the paper except when they wish to use it for the furtherance of some pet scheme of their own. Doubilities there are individual instances of this; stockholders who have never offered for publication a single news item or literary sketch, or asked to have published anything of their preparation concerning University affairs, have blazed about the Journal's failing to fulfill its purpose. But there is a far larger class of students who have merely ignored the existence of our University papers, except that they have probably read the locals, perhaps the "study Window," and picked out, wherever it was possible, blemishes or mistakes.
If any one doubts that practically no support is given our University papers by students, beyond mere subscriptions, he has only to assist in the preparation of matter for a single issue. In eastern schools, there is usually a great quantity of matter which is left over—students interest themselves in their college weeklies,—take the little trouble necessary to "give pointers,"—contribute items, criticisms, and literary productions. Papers so supported find it necessary to destroy rejected articles not called for, to keep them from accumulating in large numbers. Moreover, they are not compelled even to consider poor copy; they have enough that is good to select from.
It is anything but so here. There has been but a single literary article voluntarily offered to the JOURNAL this term: whatever has appeared, except the local and editorial matter, has been asked for and generally secured with difficulty. The literary editor has had to fill her columns without assistance week after week; and it has often been necessary for the other editors to "write against space" to make up the amount of original matter required.
To say that such conditions are lamentable is putting it too mildly. They reflect discredit on the students, and meanly impose on the editors. These will have all they should be called on to do in preparing their regular copy and in editing what passes through their hands, without being forced to skip classes and devote half their time to work that ought to be done by the students, who claim to be the supporters and benefactors of the college weeklies. The editors should not be expected to supply all the matter, much less also to help in the mechanical part of publishing. Their work is largely critical and selective, unless made something else by just such unnecessary conditions as have been governing here, and their being turned from it simply means a poorer paper. If the students expect their papers to be fresh, crispy, fat with proper news, they must do more to make them so. And if they care to have such publications be of such literary tone as will give them a respectable standing among their contemporaries, they must enter far deeper into the literary spirit, and furnish literary matter to be selected from; not expecting, either, that they are going to "get in print," for if they do what they should, their well
never be nearly enough room for all the copy. As it is now, there is little honor in getting into the columns of our papers. But it would be an honor if half a dozen first class articles had been rejected to make room for what is given space.
We have been talking plainly, but we expect to say something a little plainer yet. We do not profess that the papers of K U are super-excellent. We are painfully aware that they fall short in much; nor do we even proclaim that the JOURNAL is all it should be. But we do assert this; That if such assistance as every member of the editorial force has a right to expect had been given them, the papers would have occupied a more enviable place among college publications. The present editorial management make no complaints concerning their experience. They have met the conditions faithfully, at least, and transformed them as far as possible into favorable conditions, though they have not wholly succeeded. But surely, their intimate acquaintance with the work and conditions justifies them in pointing out a possible great improvement, and the means of working it, and they express themselves thus openly, in the hope that the succeeding editors may be given the assistance to which they are entitled. Our personal knowledge of the service the coming editor in chief has rendered in times past assures us that, whether he is supported or not, he will do more than can be demanded of any editor. But his service is a service without pay, and if the students do not help him to make a creditable, refined college weekly, they have no right to sponge on his time and energy, and upon the time and energy of his assistants, for mental entertainment and for University news. In short, if they do not make the papers of K U their personal interest and give then proper moral and literary support, they may expect to have them stand still or retrograde. It takes spirit and some work to do what is necessary—but they want something in their papers, the must either pay their editors, reporters, an contributors, or do their part in furnishing first class matter.
ACTION TAKEN
By the Students Journal Company for Consolidation
Pursuant to a call-send at the request of members of the STUDENTS JOURNAL Company, the Company met on Wednesday evening to instruct its representatives on the committee concerning a University Press, as to the position of the Company. Some members were under the impression that the meeting concerned the proposition hereof made by the Company for a consolidation of the college weeklies, and did not attend, since the retusal to accept or reject that proposition left nothing to be done as yet by this company in that matter. Notwithstanding this, however, a very satisfactory and representative number were present. The only business before the meeting was the consideration of the proposed constitution prepared by the committee above referred to.
The position of the company was announced by the unanimous adoption of the resolution following, which indicates that, just as soon as the other interests concerned will act, the STUDENTS JOURNAL is ready to give way for the proposed one weekly paper thereafter to be published at the University. The resolution is as follows:
Resolved, by the STUDENTS JOURNAL Company:
That this company hereby signifies its general approval of the terms of the proposed constitution submitted to it this 21st day of January, 1894, from the general committee to draw plans for the consolidation of the weekly papers of K. S. U. and the establishment of a University Press, and its readiness to agree to said general terms when it shall appear that said plan is supported sufficiently to ensure the probability of its success.
METHODISTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF
OHIO HOMA
At the University of Oklahoma the Methodistists propose to build an "Epworth Hall" to be used as a dermitory and sort of headquarters for Methodist students who may desire to enjoy the privileges of that University. The move is a good one, as it will relieve the church from the too great burden of supporting a college. Other churches should follow the example of the Methodists; and thus save the extra expense of maintaining or attempting to maintain, in the territory, an academy for every religious denominations.
Football at Baker
The executive committee of the board of trustees of Baker University have lately passed resolutions defining their position with respect to football. After stating that the games "have not only been productive of good health and habits, but in the main also of the morals and scholarship of the participants," they conclude
"Upon the question of risk of the participants in the game of football as now played, we believe the danger is greater than it should be, and that the game should not be permitted hereafter in Baker, unless the rules of the game be so changed and modified as to prevent what is usually called "msss plays," or "dying wedges," wherein most of the serious accidents to members of other clubs have occurred. We also think and so recommend to the trustees, that contest games, if any, next season be limited in number and to colleges."
It would seem from these resolutions that the chances are against Baker playing football next year, but as rules against "mass plays" are expected, the objections of the trustees may be withdrawn.
The suggestion that contest games be limited to colleges is a very time one. The games played with the professional or semi-professional athletic clubs this last season have almost without exception, been disgraced by "shugging" and have sometimes ended in a tree-for-all fight, as in the game between Nebraska University and the Denver Athletic Club.
We believe that, for the good of the game, University and College teams should refuse to play with a athletic club teams or with colleges whose teams play professionals. Football is in many respects the best game there is for young men, but the prize fighting spirit shown too often this last season must be done away with if it is to continue in favor as a college game. College can keep football free from objectifiable features, at least among themselves, and they should do so.
The Festival of Tortures.
To day ends the Week of Tortures. For five days the Court of the Holy Inquisition has been racking and tearing, spreading dismay and terror everywhere. But with to day's warning, its divinely obtained and supported care and correction of the students' welfare will be withdrawn until the periodical recurrence of the administration of the general punishment which is required by the maintenance of the traditions of antidivallian college life to be taken upon all, regardless of ability or merit. It is in order, therefore, for the student to begin again the grind of "leading" against the inevitable test, at the expense of real and careful study. The loader may lay again and skip classes, until the time when he expects to cram enough in two or three days to take him through the next examination. The nervous girl who has been overworked and overworked during the time of this trial now have a week out of class to be sick and the members of the Court can mark down their minds the delinquencies of the poor students in class, with the intention of "catching" them on the quiz—only to be surprised as usual, by the passing of the intended objects of their retention and the sacrifice of innocent victims.
Hasten the time when the Holy Impulsion shall sit again. What if it does mean injury to health and injustice to students? It is customary, it is tradition at, and it must last. Vive l'Impulsion!
OUR STUDY WINDOW
Jessie Brown
The outside door down stairs went stent with a bang. For a moment the whole house trembled. Five quick steps on the stairs were followed by a vigorous knocking on the door.
"Come in, Lewes!" shouted a voice from within. "We know who it is by the way you skip those steps."
"Cards again!" exclaimed the stranger, pulling off his overcoat and piling it in the corner.
"Too late, too late!" said Kelley, as the four rose from the table. "Jones and I've redeemed ourselves. Never had such luck in my life. Why didn't you come around earlier?"
"Couldn't.—Had a thesis to finish off.
But how can you see to play in all this smoke?"
"Sir!" exclaimed Kelley. "Why man we could beat these fellows in the dark! Been over to Simpson cottage, have you?"
"Speet you could with that halo of yours about your head," retorted Lewes, wholly ignoring the question which had been asked him. "Red hair is an advantage after all. Ugh! This smoke is choking me."
"That's the disadvantage of having a light head," said Kelley, with special emphasis on the *dis* and *light*. "It's bound to rise to the top of the room and get filled with impure gases."
"Come, come; we've had enough of this" said Judd, who had been busying himself picking up the scattered cards and putting them away. "Kelley, if you want something to do, put a little coal on the grate. Lewes, here's a cigar. Find your a chair."
"Now for that poem," said Kelley, pokin' at the fire
"What poem?" asked Lewes.
"What poem?" asked Lewes. "O, Judd wrote a poem the other day. A real live poem with feet and toes" prattled Kelley.
"Yes, by all means let's have the poem," said Lewes. "But really, Judd, I never would have suspected of you." Jones pretended to protest, but Kelley put him in the corner, and holding him ordered Judd to get the poem.
While Kelley is occupied in keeping Jones in the corner, and Judd is searching for the poem in the drawer under the table, it may be well to give the reader, if there be one, a short sketch of the people who have been talking. At the time when the incidents of this story—and it is a true story,—took place, we were students at Harvard. Jones and Lewes were graduate students and the rest of us were Senior. Jones and Lewes had been classmates in some college in Iowa, and after graduation had taught. Jones in some normal school in New Jersey and Lewes in his "Alma Mater," as he always put it. While at school they had been rivals for the hand of a young lady, whom Lewes had won, and married, and who at the present, was living with her mother.
Lowes had not been at Harvard very long before he noticed that Jones made frequent visits to a female college not many miles from Boston. Inquiring of

Kelley what these visits meant, Kelley, on the spur of the moment, told him that there was a Miss Jessie Brown attending the college, but for any thing further it must apply to Jones himself, who in an probability, would be delighted to give him the desired information.
Lewes thought he had made an important discovery, and proceeded to utilize it to cancel some imaginary scores with Jones. Accordingly, when the Harvard-Yale debate come on, he asked Keeley to introduce him to Miss Brown, that he might engage her company for the debate before Jones had a chance. Keeley replied that he was not acquainted with the lady.
When Jones appeared at the debate with a young lady, Lewes supposed, of course, that it was Miss Brown, and even went so far as to send a note during the debate, asking Jones if in any way he could manage it, to introduce him to Miss Brown. The introduction, of course, was not brought about.
But Lewes persevered. He hegged Kelley for a letter of introduction, and Kelley having refused, Judd, anxious to carry the thing farther, wrote the letter addressing it to him, "Don't make a fool of yourself. Remember that you are a married man."
Well, what did that fellow do but go home and write Miss Brown that very night, stating that he had long wished to visit far-famed Wellesley and ending by asking the privilege of calling. He sent the letter in one of his envelopes bearing a return card, to the Monroe Scientific Association, Belle Island, Iowa.
There being no Miss Brown attending Wellesley, the letter was forwarded to the address given, and opened by Lewes' wife. Her surprise can easily be imagined, as well as the gentle blowing up she gave Lewes in her next letters, two of which came in one day.
Still believing in the existence of Jessie Brown, Lewis accused Jones of having instructed that young lady to forward his letter to his wife. He was so completely complained, that he could not otherwise see how the letter could have turned up in his wife's hands.
"It is the first thing," he said "which I have kept from her since I have known her, and now she's gone and found that out! I only did it because I didn't want to give Jones away in Bette Island, where his 'sure-enough' lives."
Kelley and Jones began to think the affair had gone far enough. They feared they might occasion a divorce case Lewes, they knew was, writing his wife letters of explanation in twenty page installments, hence they decided that Lewes should know the whole story the first time he came to their room.
We left Judd fumbling away among a lot of papers for a poem and Jones in the corner. We take them up again just as Judd begins to clear his throat for a very impressive reading of some multilateral verses, clipped from a newspaper.
Said Judd*, "Lewes, I want to read you some verses about a Jessie Brown." Jones again pretended to protest. Judd began.
"O, Jessie Brown is wondrous fair,
No earthy beauty can compare
With her effulgent beauty rare,
Fair Jessie Brown.
O, Jessie Brown is wondrous whee,
All knowledge found beneath the skies,
liter store of wisdom doth comprise.
Wise Jessie Brown.
Great Diana's Oracle.
And Jessie Brown's divinely good,
she liveth as an angel should.
Aye, better than an angel could.
Good Jessie Brown.
"One flaw, however, doth appear. That save upon this paper here There's no such girl like this sphere As Jesse Brown."
Lewes' jaw felt. He saw the whole thing in a flash. There never was a man more mortified.
"Now" said Judd to Lewes, who thought this a wonderful good joke on Jones. "I want to call your particular attention to this last."
To find the trailing and embroideries, newspaper report, one need not go outside of Leiden. Once in a while one of the larger dailies of the State will when they can do no better, retain a men on their force who runs three ruffles and a lace border around the skirts of his articles. But not often. The writers who use red cloth to cut their reports out and at frequent intervals send out one more georgeously triggered up than usual, with whole widths of brilliantly painted surplus age and yards upon yards of useless finery making up its exaggerated costume, are usually to be found only in the country town. But sometimes they get into larger places, and occasionally are even permitted to fill whole pages of the quarterly or semi-yearly publications of schools offering work which ranges from the kindergartens up to courses almost preparatory for entrance into the Freshman classes of good colleges. One of such articles, published in the Quarterly of a school as is spoken of, lies on our table. It occupies almost a whole page of the paper, and is supposed to be descriptive of the local oratorical contest at that school. As eminently fitting an event so vastly important, and especially, so strikingly resembling a battle with deadly weapons, the first paragraph is made to read:
All of us felt a little sorry for him, but he had got himself into the whole scrape.
"The contest is over, the battle is fought, the victory is won—by some one. What so long has been the eager anticipation of many, the cause of sanguine hopes and anxious fears to others, the object of spirited discussions and warm disputes, all lie behind us like a dream. The muffled waves of excitement are calmed once more, and quietly and unnestationally do we move again in the prescopic routine of everyday life. Not every hope could be realized, not every effort crowded; a good many vietnames fell by the wayside, wounded and exhausted; and recovering from their shock, ponder curiously what may have been the cause of their defeat."
The officers of K. U's. Oratistical Association, and the orators express themselves as much surprised at the disastrous effects caused by the practice of oratory in the juvenile institution. Here, the contests are attended by no such lamentable consequences. University Hall, on morning after the competition, is not gray with the confined smoke of a recent battle, stale with the odors of burned powder, or red with the blood of wounded. The football, team declare unanimously, that if orators belonging to that school are so dangerous to opponents from their own institution, it would be an act of desperation that even K. U. football courage would not dare, to meet a team of players from among them.
"A large crowd of anxious, attentive friends cheered the young essayists and orators with their inspiring presence, on the evening of Wednesday. Dec. 20, they took their places on the platform, that well-worn forensic arena, beautifully decorated for the occasion."
It is not difficult to trace the relation of the words in the above sentence, and the flery description this passage contains, we doubt not, roused all the arder of the young natures it was written for. At first we thought the crowd took their places on the platform, but afterward we came to doubt that, and thought it might mean, that the essayists and orators took their places on "that well worn forensic arena." We cannot decide, either, whether the crowd, the contestants, or the platform, boasted the beautiful decorations. And still further, we cannot guess what were the decorations used. If the orators are meant, we suppose, in view of the awful results of the contest, that they came "beautifully decorated" with war paint. If the crowd or the platform is meant, we can only guess.
The report gurgles away. The first number of the program was "charming." The next was "beautiful." The first essay was "thoughtful, well written." The next was a graphic "production," proving that in Whittier's poetry
"purs and ever fresh bubbles" bubble.
Then, the following doubtful compliments are paid a young woman, one of the cool stars.
"The discussion showed unusual strength of thought and close reasoning. The judges unanimously gave her first place, a rare occurrence in Normal contexts." Whether it is unusual for the judges to give anyone first place at this school, or for them to give it to this contestant, remains in doubt.
The next oration was full of "wol
chosen climaxes and beautiful word
painting." Two songs were among the
"most appreciated" numbers. The delivery
of one speaker was "the delight of
the elocutionist." And before the result
was announced, there was "a short delay,
which however to the eager crowd
seemed endless," and—fit ending to so
s wonderful an event—the jollification
and iam continued to a late hour."
It is scarcely to be wondered *ar*, that a writer who permits himself the use of such schoolboy gush and overstatement should have also permitted his enthusi- a-m and prejudice to run away so far with his good judgment, that he can "unostentatiously" make the self satis-filyingly impudent assertion, "Never a 'performance' of equal uniform excellence can be witnessed in K. S. U."
NOTES FROM SNOW HALL.
Electric and water motors have been put up for use in Physiological Botany.
Mr. E. S. Tucker is making enlargements of bromide prints of some of the world's great chemists, for the chemistry lecture room. Prints are also being made for the botanical department. These prints are much more permanent than the ordinary silver prints, but are not very often made on account of the expense necessary in their preparation. The making of linnen slides is also an important part in the photographic work at Snow Hall. Duplicates, of course, can be made at much less cost than the originals, and it is thought that the department will be made partially self-sustaining by the sale to neighboring Universities of duplicates of slides now in use at the University. The University of Nebraska has already ordered through Prof. Carruth, slides illustrating the "Niebelungen Lied." Professors Williston, Holder, and Wilcox are now having slides made for use in their departments.

Gus Williams.
Gus Williams, the jolly man with the German accent, will be at the opera house on next Monday night Mr Williams presents this season his latest success, entitled "April Fool," which they say is a farce comedy, pure and simple. It is full of music and dances and capers and things and there are some very capable people to do the capering. The company includes the Midgeeys, Sager and Fanny, Miss Lillian Elma, Miss Flora Redding, The Burroughs, Charles and Mynnes, Miss Myra C Brooks, Miss Julia Barter, James H. Eden and others of artistic ability.
Gus Williams has a German part, of course. He has made a fortune interpreting the German American. A big enough fortune to enable him to buy a 100 acre farm in New York State, where he spends the summer chasing the festive potato bug, etc. Ever since he was the child wonder, the round face chubby boy, singing temperance ballads at Brooklyn meetings, with a pathos that melted hard hearts. Gus Williams has been true to himself as an artist. He has not tried to play "Hamlet." Having a delicious German dialect, he has never outraged the probabilities of nature and has never ridiculed the German people in his acting. He has held the mirror up to nature in his simple way and has told his stories, recited his poems and sung his humorous or tender songs in a way that has touched the peoples' hearts.
"Arill Fool" is said to be exceedingly novel in its construction and a fun creator of the first water.
