Competent players have applied for all positions on the team with the exception of pitcher, and Mr. Kelsey is ready to receive applications for that position.
The classes in Astronomy this year show a marked increase in attendance over that of any preceding year. Doubtless the increase would be double if the department was well equipped with the necessary apparatus for the proper study of the subject. As it now is Prof. Miller is compelled to make a hard struggle against most discouraging circumstances.
A meeting of the Glee Club is called for practice and business to be held at Music Hall, at 11:30 a. m. Saturday The recent tour of the Glee Club was such a great success that the club is planning a spring tour. This will probably take place about the time of the spring vacation. The club contemplates taking quite an extensive trip visiting the towns of the southern part of the State.
The reception given by the members of Kappa Alpha Theta fraternity to their Kappa and Pi Phi sisters last Saturday afternoon was quite different from ordinary parties. Different boys' fraternities have treated themselves to "stag" parties, and all have joined in "stag" parties; but it is rather unusual for the young ladies to follow their example and have a sort of Pan Hellenic. The Thetas entertained their guests very pleasantly at the home of Miss Mary Stone from 3 o'clock to 6.
The illustrated lecture on Nibelungenlied, given by Prof. Carruth, Kansas State University, under the auspices of the Saturday Club, was an intellectual treat greatly enjoyed by members of the Art League, the ladies of the Saturday Club, who completely filled the Presbyterian church. Prof. Carruth, who kindly came from Lawrence at the request of the Saturday Club, is a very
pleasant speaker with a manner unsumming but entertaining. The lecture seemed all too brief to his audience.—Leavenworth Times.
The west room on the third floor of Snow Hall has just been finished off, and Prof. Dyche's animals will now occupy the west rooms on the second and third floors of the building. In the room on the second floor the mountain is being built which is to be occupied by the sheep and goats; while the larger hoofed animals will be on the third floor. Prof. Dyche's assistants are also busily engaged in preserving the large specimens that were received while the Professor was at the World's Fair. Many of these specimens will have to remain unmounted until there is more room.
The Freshmen, in deciding to hold a reception where different members of the class may become acquainted, show both enterprise and good sense. You may think that this is a self-evident proposition, but as long as so little class spirit is shown we may be pardoned for mentioning it. As a usual thing many members of classes do not have even a speaking acquaintance when they reach their Senior year, when this acquaintance is needed to make successful the numerous class celebrations and entertainments that are usually given.
Professors joke sometimes; at least they did before examinations. It was late in the afternoon, the recitation was done, and the class was ready to go. Peppers prepared by students were being read, taking the place of regular class room work; and the professor had just asked: "Let's see, Mr. C., you read tomorrow, don't you?" C. replied in the affirmative, and we were just on the point of rising when G., another student spoke up in a tone that gave promise of a long discussion, "I'd like to know what B's subject is.—I want to 'load up' for it." The professor smiled, "Let's see, G. what do you usually do when you 'load up'" You take an empty barrel and put something in it don't you?"
The fertility of resource displayed by some of the Glee Club boys during their trip, would do credit to the most experienced barn stormer in the country. After the Club had given its concert at Topeka, several of its members decided to come to Lawrence as the next day was Sunday. G. also wanted to come, but he found he had not enough money to pay his fare. This obstacle was not insurmountable, however. By borrowing what he could from his comrades, G. was able to buy a ticket to Lecompte where he knew the train does not stop; and when the conductor of the train informed him of this fact, G. after some emphatic remarks about the inconvenience it would be to him, kindly consented to come on to Lawrence.
The annual meeting of the Oratorical Association for election of officers will take place in the chapel Friday at 1 o'clock. All students who have signed their names in the book provided for that purpose will be allowed to vote for president, vice-president, secretary, and second delegate. The following amendment to the constitution of the Oratorical Association will be proposed for adoption at the meeting. To amend the fifth clause of amendment one, section one, so as to read: "The rules governing both contests shall be the same, excepting that the judges of thought and composition in the April contest shall not receive written or printed copies of the orations to grade, but shall attend the contest and grade the crations from hearing them alone."

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.
This paper is on file at the editorial rooms of the University, Review, 290 Fifth Avenue, New York, where all college men are given a hearty welcome.
EXAMINATIONS are over. The student takes his inventory a little late in January but we believe it is thorough. If there were any so unfortunate as to "fail," will they say it was due to prevailing "hard times?"
THE rank given one of the contestants in the contest Friday evening, shows how hard it is for one to judge impartially anything that is contrary to his own belief. In the words of another contestant, "the prophet of this later age" fares no better than than those who have gone before.
THE oratorical contest held Friday night was a decided improvement. Mr. Sears may well feel that he has won no small honor in gaining first place among such speakers, but we expect him to do better things yet. It will be the enthusiasm of men who expect to win that will accompany him to Tepeka.
THROUGH the kindness of Professor Blackmar, we are enabled to give a general description of what fellowships are and how they may obtained. This matter should be carefully considered while you are deciding on the studies you will take this term, if you intend to take work in other Universities. A number who formerly attended the University have obtained scholarships or fellowships Harvey White, G. O. Virtue and J. Haamaker, not to mention others.
As we noticed the report that Harvard was in financial difficulty we give the Harvard Advocate's explanation. The report arose from the fact that two professors and four instructors were to be dismissed. The reason for this action was that their work was not of a sufficiently high grade, a.a.d., as the Harvard Advocate says, the more plausible excuse "that, owing to increased expenses, it was impossible to retain these gentlemen." In a long editorial the Advocate scores the college authorities for ingratiude in thus turning out old servants, thinking it would have been better to pension them if they were incompetent, and comments rather sharply on the "increased expenses" which made the step necessary. One of the principal expenses was the exhibition at the World's Fair.
"Thus in either case our Alba Mater has been made to flounder herself, not as a woman who sees wisdom above wealth, and honor above all, but as one with an eye for expensive buildings, a talent for vulgar advertisement, and a disposition to turn over her good name to the highest bidder."
THE annual election of officers of the Oratorical Association will be held at 1 o'clock to day. Every one has the right to vote for the more important officers, if he has registered.
The amendment providing that the judges on thought and composition shall grade after hearing the creations delivered, and not from reading the manuscript, is an attempt to remedy a real
fault. An oration that would be graded well as an essay, may be so written that it can not be even followed by one listening to its delivery, and would impress the hearer in no way unless it be with weariness. Orations are written to influence those who hear them not those who read them, and should be judged from this standpoint.
There is some difference of opinion as to whether it would be better to have thought and composition count one-half as is the case now and be graded by the judges after the orations are delivered, or to have delivery, thought and composition count one third each, and composition alone be graded from the manuscript, delivery and thought from hearing the orations delivered. Either plan is better than the one now in vogue.
The Courier Refuses to Consider Consoli- sation
The Corrier Company at its meeting held last Saturday, elected officers to manage the paper this term; and we understand, intends to resume at once the publication, which has been suspended since the issue of the New Year's edition. As far as we can learn no action was taken for consolidation with the STUDENTS JOURNAL by the formation of a University Publishing Company. This would seem to indicate that there is no prospect of a consolidation of the papers at a very early date. A review of the history of this attempt at consolidation may be both interesting and profitable.
About a week before the University was closed for the Christmas holidays, Mr. C. R. Troxell, Business Manager of the Courier came to the Business Managers of the STUDENTS JOURNAL, to propose that an attempt be made to consolidate the papers. He stated that the Courier was not paying expenses and it was evidently on this account that he desired consolidation. The STUDENTS JOURNAL, though it had no such financial trouble to influence it, believed that it was advisable to combine the weekly papers if possible, and therefore, during the Christmas holidays, Mr. J. V. May and Mr. Troxell drew up a plan for consolidation, which Mr. Troxell thought would be acceptable to the Courier Company. At Mr. Troxell's request, a meeting of the STUDENTS JOURNAL Company was called to decide whether it would accept this plan which was to be presented by the Courier Company. The Courier Company is composed of the members of four of the fraternities, and as representatives of these four fraternities signed a paper declaring that the terms of the plan were acceptable, the plan was really presented by that company.
The members of the STUDENTS JOURNAL Company therefore met to consider the plan proposed by the Courier, but at the meeting were informed that the Courier now refused to submit its proposition. Having no proposition to consider, the STUDENTS JOURNAL Company drew up and adopted a plan for consolidation with the Courier, and appointed a committee to present it to the Courier Company. The Courier Company either took no action upon it, or refused to accept it.
These plans for consolidation having failed, it was proposed that a mass meeting of the students be called, and that a University Publishing Company be formed to publish a weekly and a monthly paper, thereby bringing about a consolidation of the two weekly papers. Mr. Troxell, Business Manager of the Courier was again the prime mover; and it was at his request that the Chancellor called the mass meeting. A committee of nine, two of whom were professors, was elected at this mass meeting to draft a constitution, and a constitution was drawn up by the committee as published in the issue of the STUDENTS JOURNAL of the 26th of January. As was noted in the same number of the STUDENTS JOURNAL our company at a meeting held Wednesday, January 24th, adopted a resolution expressing its satisfaction with the essential features of the plan proposed, and
its readiness to take part in any meeting to adopt the constitution. As the STUDENTS JOURNAL of January 26th says: '
"The position of the company was an announced by the unanimous adoption of the resolution 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."
We wish to emphasize these facts. The STUDENTS JOURNAL Company has shown its willingness to consider any proposition looking toward consolidation that may be made by the Counter; it has made the Counter a proposition for consolidation, and it has shown a willingness to combine with the Counter by adopting the essential features of the plan proposed by the committee unanimously elected by the students miss meeting.
The STUDENTS JOURNAL Company has shown its willingness to meet the Course half-way; and it has made this attempt at consolidation not because the paper was not paying expenses, but because it believed one weekly paper would represent the University more fairly and would be a much lighter burden to those who have to support it.
The Language Conferences
At the meeting of the Language Conference last Friday afternoon, Mr. B. W. Woodward reviewed the volume of poems entitled, "Rhymes by Two Friends." The verses were written by Albert Bigelow Paine and William Allen White, the introduction by Ewing Herbert.
Mr. Woodward did not wholly agree with Mr. Herbert's opinion that, "the best poetry made in Kansas is not that of the study." While the production of verse by intellect alone is not poetry, a little of the "midnight oil" spoken of in the introduction might have been burned to advantage while the authors gave a few additional touches to some of their verses, and yet they might not polish out of them their original feeling. The verses, at least many of them, might be compared to some of Whitecott Riley's, and not suffer by the comparison.
To illustrate his criticisms, Mr. Woodward read a number of selections from the productions of each author.
Prot. Carnruth spoke of the seeming parallelism between two of Mr. Faune's sketches, "Miss Smith" and "The Book keeper," and the value of midnight oil was again suggested.
The Science Club "It."
The annual Science Club Banquet or as it is enduringly called by its members, the "It," was held Thursday, January 25. In the business meeting the following officers were elected: President, Walter Crane; Vice President, E. S. Tucker; Secretary, H. G. Landis; Treasurer, Warren Edwards; Program Committee, Prof. Stevens, J. V. May, Fred Laudlow; Membership Committee, C. Faulkner, M. Galbreath, Prof. W. A. Snow.

A Letter.
the following letter will explain itself:
DEAR WILL—What a long time it has been since I have heard from you, and in that time I have done the strangest things under the sun. Would you believe it if I were to tell you that I am a patent medicine doctor? I will tell you about it, but I am afraid that such student pranks will be uninteresting or something worse to such a staird old farmer as you have grown to be. What a mistake you made, anyhow! It makes me feel queer when I imagine myself having left school after the first year and settled back on the farm at home. I surely would have missed the best part of my life, or at least I would have missed some queer and wonderful experiences. You know that before I graduated we were talking at club about what we should do this summer. I wrote you some of the schemes that were suggested. Isn't it queer that we have started to carry out the most impracticable of them all? We were to get box car tickets for Colorado or somewhere in the west, lay in a good supply of some harmless patent medicine and good saleable books (or of course you remember that Bert Crane never could be comfortable maleness he had a book to sell) and then proceed to get experience by making our living. Well four of us have actually been carrying out this plan; Bert Crane, Charley Bennett, Fred Thomas and I. You knew the other boys when you were in school. We took box cars for the west just a week ago to-day, and though we had to change cars several times and often got on the wrong train, we finally reached our destination. Perhaps if our destination had been more specifically defined, we would not have succeeded as well. I really don't know the name of the town wears in. If you want to write to me you may address Denver for the next week, for we have actually made enough money to get there via box car. Bert and I got put off the train about fifteen miles cast off of here. I felt lost so to speak, but Bert was used to such things. He reassured me and we walked the rest of the way here. As luck would have it Charley and Fred had discovered our abilities, and had stopped to wait for us.
Well we gave an exhibition last night.
It was a grand success. We obtained a street corner and a large dry goods box for a platform and went to work. I am not sure how it was with the others, but I felt shaky and sheepish too. The others declared that they felt perfectly at home, but I was somewhat inclined to doubt the statement. Bert Crane was selected to lead the attack. He mouthed the dry goods box, and soon attracted a crowd by his stirring accounts of the merits of our new medicine. In a splendid dimax he impressed upon the assembled multitude the statement that the medicine was "a remedy for all the lilies of body—a balm for every wounded spirit". Some of the crowd were ill-mannered enough to laugh and some hoooted, but on the whole he made an elegant speech. Fred and I did the selling. Suffice it to say that getting fired from a box car doesn't compare with selling patent medicine on a street corner. I was in a rather unsettled state of mind, until Charley (who by agreement beforehand was a disinterested spectator on this occasion) walked up confidently
and purchased five bottles. After that it went better. But what do you think? An old fellow walked up, shouted into my ear and asked if the medicine would cure deafness. I was non-plussed. I hadn't been obliged to tell a direct lie to any one personally before. What was I to say? I helplessly turned to Freel and asked him if it would cure deafness. That ingrate pitilessly said he didn't know, and the bystanders laughed. Trade didn't seem to prosper very well after that, so we concluded to vary the program by giving experiments in hypnosis.
Or course none of us know very much about hypnotism, but Bert thought that he would perform the experiments. He called for subjects to volunteer from the crowd and several came forward. Bert looked them over one by one, felt their pulses and examined their tongues. He rejected several but at last found one that suited him. Of course that one was Charley. We didn't sell any medicine, but the crowd was pleased for Charley was a remarkably docile subject; too docile in fact, for Bert thoughtlessly began telling that he had never before seen such a fine line between it and expatriated upon his virtues to such an extent that Charley couldn't stand it. He broke completely down and laughed with all his might in the middle of an experiment. That gave the trick all away. Someone shouted that he had seen Charley with the rest of us the evening before and that we were all frauds. The crowd yelled and hooted until we thought that we had been there long enough. We skipped out without making any elaborate preparations. We leave town this evening and to-morrow Charley will deliver a temperance lecure at a little town about thirty miles from here. Fred is going to pose as a living example of the effect of drink. We are going to find him in a mandolin condition on the streets. Can you imagine Fred Thomas leering and staggering like a drunken man? I saw him do it once and I think he will be a success. The boys spoke of selling our medicine as a cure for drunkenness but I feel doubtful about our perpetrating that. I am preparing a lecture on socialism to be delivered soon. I think I'll get a hall and take up a collection.
Have you heard from any of the other boys? Jack Pfeffer and some others are down the Mississippi floating now I suppose. Jack promised to write to me if he had any experiences, and if he does I'll send you the letters. Don't worry about me; I'll try not to get caught if I do anything contrary to the letter of the law. Even if I am caught I can surely get off on the plan of temporary insanity. I'll send you a letter now and then to let you know of my further progress.

Just before the recent oratorical contest, one of the prospective orators was discovered, gathering inspiration, by orating before the Megatherium in Snow Hall.
Next Sunday Feb. 4, will be celebrated in the evening at the Presbyterian church by a special program. It is Christian Endeavor Day—the thirteenth anniversary of the Christian Endeavor movement. Several special papers are in progress of preparation for the occasion.
K. U. students always win. Mr. F. J. Lange, who graduated in '83, while teaching at St. Bonediet, Kansas, was set upon by two of his large boys, and very severely bruised; but the consequence was that the parents of the boys had to pay damages to quite a large sum, and had to use* the expenses of the suit besides.
A grand, international missionary convention will be held at Detroit, Michigan, basting from February 28 to March 4. Last Sunday afternoon the University Y M. C. A. chose Mr. A. E. Moody to represent them there, and to gather points for the forthance of the missionary spirit in our midst.

The Oratorical Contest.
The local oratorical contest which ocurred last Friday evening, Jan. 26, was a pleasant surprise to even the most sanguine supporters of oratory at K. U. It was plainly seen that the delivery of the orators was far superior to that of last year. The truth of this statement will be shown in the State contest at Topeka February 23d.
The vice-president of the Association, Mr. Archie Hogg, presided, as Mr. Chas. Griffin, the president, was one of the contestants. After the invocation by Dr. Cordley, the first speaker, Mr. Mayo Thomas, was introduced. Mr. Thomas is a new student at K. U., but he handled his subject, "John of Barneveldt and Liberty," with a skilled hand. He won third place in the final grading.
Mr. Lorin B. Sears, who will represent the University at Topeka, was introduced next, and spoke on "The Mission of the Drama." Ease and grace characterized Mr. Scars' delivery. His gestures were nearly perfect, which is doubtless the result of his training as an locutionist.
not doing himself justice. He lacked life and spoke too slowly, yet he surely deserved a higher place than he received
The next speaker, Mr. Chas S. Griffin, spoke on the subject, "A Day of Rest." It was evident from the beginning of his oration that Mr. Griffin was
After a violin solo by Prof. Farrell, Mr. Edward O'Bryan spoke on "The Prophet in this Later Age." His delivery was full of life, but showed a lack of reserve power.
"Our Industrial Salvation" was Mr. Eli Cann's subject, and he handled it in a very credible way.
Miss Mane Berry sang a soprano solo in her usual charming manner.
Mr. Jas. A. Orr occupied last place on the program with "The Citizen and His Trust." His many friends were expecting great things from Mr. Orr, and they were not disappointed. His oration was probably the most logical in arrangement of any. It was an oration too, and not simply a literary thesis. His delivery was excellent with the exception of monotony of voice. It was seen at once that the real closest lay between Mr. Sears and Mr. Orr; and so it proved, for the latter received second place.
While waiting for the decision of the judges, the Glee Club sang "Old King Cole."
The announcement that Mr. Sears had won first place was received with shouts of approval. Every loyal K. U. student will be present at the State Oratorical contest at Topeka, February 23, to cheer Mr. Sears on to victory. The markings were as follows:

Prof. Hector W, Cowan.
A telegram received from the Rev Hector W. Cowan yesterday announces that he has accepted the position of Professor of Physical Culture and Chapel Director in the University. His salary will be $1,000 a year, and the citizens committee of Lawrence has agreed to be responsible for its payment. Professor Cowan is now pastor of the Presbyterian church at St. Joe, Missouri, and will continue his religious work as chapel director.
As Professor of Physical Culture he will have charge of the physical training of the students, coaching all the athletic teams of the University. He will come as soon as possible, at least by March 1st, in ample time to train the base ball club this spring.
If you will look in Watter Camp's book entitled "American Football" you will see as the frontpiece the portrait of Hector W. Cowan, Princeton. While on the football team in this institution, Mr. Cowan was universally acknowledged to be the best player of his position, tackle, in the country. He was chosen a member of the All American Football Team, an organization which is to football players what the honorary Greek letter fraternities are to college students in general. Mr. Cowan was one of the coaches of the Princeton team which was victorious over Yale this year.
Prof. Cowan is quite well known in Lawrence. He is an intimate friend of Prof. Hopkins, who was his classmate in Princeton; and he was here a short time the year that our football team under the management of Prof. Hopkins won the title "never defeated." He is an earnest Christian as well as an athlete, and under his influence we may expect a great increase of interest in the religious exercises of the University.
Fellowships in Other Universities
Nearly every year professors of the University of Kansas receive notices respecting fellowships in such Universities as Harvard, Cornell, Wisconsin, Chicago, Columbia, and Pennsylvania. They ask students to compete for these fellowships. These fellowships are usually granted to students who are more or less prepared in special lines, and have evinced thorough scholarship and can give some evidence of the same. Very few students who graduate from the University of Kansas are well enough prepared in special lines to become successful candidates for such positions; but although it is difficult to carry' on special lines of work in the University owing to the fact that the student is not allowed to take more than four studies in one department, yet it is possible by concentrating the attention on one line of work for two years, and taking special work in that line, to prepare for such a position. Those students who have done this herefore, and have gone to other institutions, have received a high standing accompanied by a scholarship or fellowship. Students who desire to pursue their education farther after being graduated from the University would do well to consider this matter; and as they enter upon their Junior and Senior studies, to select some special line of work and pursue it with vigor and force looking forward to entrance into one of the largest Universities in the East. The fellowship carries with it not only honorable position, but usually pays about five hundred dollars a year with free tuition.

GROCERIES
Such an entertainment as the Old Oaken Bucket affords an opportunity for just the right sort of relief from the difficulty mentioned. Given under the direction of Prof. Moss with Miss Brown as stage manager, and a cast composed of some of the best talent in the city, it will in every way please and gratify those who attend. The opening night should be on the nature of an ovation. If you have not thought of going tonight—go any way and help give the young people a rousing reception.

The course in the English Literature of the eighteenth century will this year differ from the corresponding course in preceding years, in that the prose and poetry read will be confined to the periods under discussion. As each group of authors is completed in the "History of Eighteenth Century Literature," the writings of those authors will be critically studied. While this arrangement will include fewer acknowledged masterpieces in English poetry, it will make the course more nearly a unit than it has been before. About two thousand five hundred lines of poetry will be read, and a considerable amount of prose.

Heath & Co. of Chicago and will be edited by Prof. Carruth. This work, it is thought by those who have been fortunate enough to have already seen it, will occupy a high place among "Wallenstein" texts.

At the meeting of the shareholders of the Oratorical Association, Thursday afternoon, two amendments to the constitution were unanimously adopted. One provides that all students of whatever department, who have registered in the book provided for the purpose, may vote in the election, to be held February 13, 1894 for president, vice president, secretary and second delegate. The other provides that after February 13, 1894, all students of the University of whatever department may have the right to vote for the afore-named officers.

Meeting of the Oratorical Association.
The disorder and confusion that attended the dissolution of the old oratorical association were repeated at the election of officers of the present association held last Friday. The association, however, still survives.
After the meeting was called to order by the president, C. S. Griffin, J. L. Cramer, treasurer, of the association made the following report:
Received from 12 no. retiring treasury $123.60
Receipt for the year      111.25
Total...$244 85
Disbursements for year...147 80
Cash on hand...97 55
The treasurer's report having been made and accepted, the meeting was ready for other business. The President stated that the next business to be attended to was the election of officers for the ensuing year, that according to the constitution members of the departments of S-ience, Literature, and the Arts, who had registered in a book provided for the purpose, had the right to vote for president, vice-president, secretary and second delegate; but that the registration book had been stolen and there was, therefore, no way of telling who, among those assembled, had registered. On this account, he would rule that the right of voting for the officers should be restricted to shareholders.
The house was in an uproar at once. Many students present, it was said, non-shareholders, had registered as was required, and therefore had the right to vote for the four officers mentioned above. It would be unjust to deprive them of this right simply because a book had been lost through the negligence of officers of the Association. As there was no way of telling who had registered and who not, a motion was made that the doors be closed and all present be allowed to vote. The question then arose as to whether the whole assembly, or the stockholders alone, had the right to decide this question. The president claimed that the stockholders alone had the right to decide it, and refused to put the question except to the stockholders. On President Griffin refusing to put the question as they desired, the faction who believed all had the right to vote on the question, elected W. H. H. Pitt, chairman of the meeting, and proceeded to the election of officers. President Griffin declared the meeting adjourned and withdrew from the hall accompanied by the students who held his view of the case. The meeting presided over by Mr.
Platt chose the following as officers on the oratorial association: President Luther A. Thrasher, Vice-President A. S. Foukls, Secretary M. L. Alden, Second Delegate, Mayo Thomas.
A meeting of stockholders presided over by Mr. Platt was then held for the election of the other officers of the association. In this election twenty-five of the fifty stockholders took part. They elected Jay Withington Treasurer, and Ben Horton, Warren Edwards and E. E. Waltmire members of the executive committee.
On the same afternoon a meeting of representatives of both parties was held in Chancellor Snow's office, and it was decided to have another election on Tuesday the 13th of February. The book for the registration of students was open Feb. 5, 6, and 7, and the registration was under the supervision of Mr. McKinnon.
Regarding the Enrollment.
The enrollment is not less than it was last year, but the catalogue will show a few less names, owing to the fact that the Junior Preparatory students in the School of Music will not be given. Our enrollment last year was seven hundred and twenty-nine. This year it is nearly seven hundred without counting the sixty names of students in Preparing Music.
We are the only college in the State that has no preparatory department. If their preparatory schools were dropped, many colleges would have but little left. Four hundred students who are doing advanced work mean more than a far greater number of Normal, Agricultural, or preparatory students.
The grand total of the University attendance as it will appear in the new catalogue will be fully 1,200. This number of course includes University extension students.
Rev. Sheldon on Applied Sociology.
Rev. Chas. Sheldon gave an interesting talk before the class in Sociology, Wednesday morning, on the subject of Applied Sociology. Mr. Sheldon said that two general rules could be made in applied sociology. In the first place, it is necessary to know thoroughly the condition of humanity. A study must be made of each particular case with which we wish to deal, for no one remedy will apply in all cases. And then, knowing thoroughly the condition, apply the remedy that is best adapted to the condition. We cannot better society by machinery. Hence it is necessary to devote part of our time to the lower classes. Humanity will never be regenerated by the mouth; it is a hand process.
The Electrical Seminary.
At the meeting of the Electrical Seminary on Monday afternoon the following subjects were presented: Eiliu Thompson's Method of Electric Welding of Iron Nails in Place, by C. F.

The Board of Regents are in session this week. They are investigating the courses of study offered by the professors, and their methods of instruction.
WE SEEM to take much more interest in the oratorical elections than in the oratorical contests. A casual observer might think we were greater politicians than orators.
An entire edition of Prof. Dyneie's book "Campfires of a Naturalist" has been sold in England. The book also had a very large sale in Chicago during the World's Fair.
The proposed amendment to the constitution of the Oratorical Association, making a change in the method of grading orations was apparently forgotten in the excitement last Friday. It deserves a better fate.
IT APPEARS that the statement made in the STUDENTS' JOURNAL of January 19th to the effect that the State Agricultural College intends to discontinue its military department is erroneous. After this year, military drill will be required of students in the first and second years of the course.
The latest publication of the American Economic Association is devoted to a discussion of "The First Stages of the Tariff Policy of the United States," written by William Hill. Only those who are acknowledged authorities on the subjects of which they write, are numbered among the contributors to this magazine. Mr. Hill graduated from Kansas State University in 1890, studied for some time at Harvard, obtaining the Henry Lee Memorial fellowship, and is now tutor in Political Economy in the University of Chicago.
THE members of the class in paleontology have each chosen some branch of the fossils of Kansas, and will make special study of it. A part of their work will be to make a collection of all the fossils of their particular branches that are to be found in Douglas county. The results of this investigation if thorough will be published in the University Quarterly
A census is now being taken to find out how much business is done on a credit basis in the United States. A number of students who are interested in work of this nature will aid in gathering the information, which will probably be published by the government.
THE Baker Beacon, in its last issue, claims that the newspapers of Kansas, either from an earnest desire that such a thing should come to pass, or for argument's sake, have misconstrued and misrepresented the resolutions passed by the executive board of Baker University with regard to football. It claims that
the trustees have no desire to have the students stop playing the game. We had no intention to misrepresent. The resolution reads, "We believe * * * 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 'mass plays' or 'flying wedges.' Will the Beacon please explain what this portion of the resolution means?
THE Ariela, a college paper published at the University of Minnesota lead recently almost the entire space of one issue devoted to the discussion of the question whether the Seniors should substitute an address by some prominent man for the usual commencement day exercises. We read also that the faculty of Syracuse University has granted the students' petition to be allowed to make such a substitution. These are but two instances illustrative of a tendency which seems to be growing. There was some agitation in favor of such action in this University both last year and this year, but it has been without effect. We do not believe that Commencement day exercises conducted by the students should be given up.
Commencement day exercises in which the graduating class takes no part have no significance. On that day the class is supposed to show, to some extent at least, the result of their four years work; and it must be a very medicinal class whose only attainment is the ability to step up and receive a diploma at the close of exercises conducted by a hired lecturer.
The argument against Commencement exercises is that as at present conducted they are long and uninteresting. The first objection may be a reasonable one and some improvement in that line may be possible but there can be no excuse if there is ground for the second objection and in many instances it cannot be sustained. We attended the Commencement exercises of the class that graduated from the University last year and we found them very interesting, more interesting in fact than some lectures we have heard delivered by men who were representatives of the class of "prominent men" who are being chosen by the Senior classes of some Universities to do their work on Commencement day. Perhaps our personal interest in the participants had something to do with the greater interest we took in the exercises, and this is a stronger reason why the students should conduct the exercises. The audience who are present on Commencement day are the friends of the graduating class, and they come to see and hear the graduating class. When they want to hear this or that lecturer it is to be presumed that they will go and hear him, but they attend Commencement day exercises for a different purpose.
It is a strange commentary on a students' four years work in college if, at the end of it, he is unable to present anything of interest. But he can if he is willing to devote the time and labor necessary for preparation. It is right here that we believe is to be found the explanation, at least in part, of this tendency we have been discussing. We may honestly believe that the interest in the exercises will be increased by giving some prominent man the chief place on the program, but the way in which we leave a sigh of relief, and say "well, there's that work off our hands" shows that there is another consideration that has considerable weight. The laziness and unwillingness to assume responsibility which are to be found in most human beings, show their influence in this matter.
AN ORGANIZATION such as the University Senate which ended a two years existence about a year ago, could do very creditable work if enough interest could be sustained. The student body contains a large number of good extemporaneous speakers, as events such as the Oratorian election of last Friday show. Perhaps we might get a useful hint from the occurrences at this election, and vary the
regular program by introducing, occasionally, the discussion of some question of especial interest to University students. There is no doubt that great interest would be aroused by such discussions, and we can see no objection to the free and fair discussion of questions that are really of very considerable importance to the student during his stay at the University. Greater interest would thus be aroused in the organization.
THE student who devotes all the time he gives to study, to poring over text books is in danger of becoming a huge intellectual sponge, developing his "absorptive" faculties along attaching the same value to all knowledge from no matter what source, and accepting all opinions without question
A good corrective of this tendency is to be found in the discipline obtained in collecting material for a paper on some subject. All works in the library bearing on the subject should be examined, and although the knowledge obtained must necessarily be second hand yet in weighing the relative importance of various kinds of evidence, and forming a judgment as to the reliability of various authors the student may exercise the same qualities on mind as the scholar who is carrying on original research.
THE agreement to postpone the election of officers of the Oratorical Association until a new registration of students could be made, disposes of the difficulty in a very fair and sensible way. This solution of the matter would probably have been adopted at the meeting held last Friday if the different factions had not been so suspicious of each other. It was not right to deprive those who had registered, of the privilege of voting, as would have been done if only the stockholders had voted; on the other hand there was a considerable number at the meeting who had no right to vote, either because they were not students of the departments of Science, Literature and the Arts or because they had not registered. Therefore it would not have been just to allow all present to vote. The fair thing to do was to call a new election and have another registration.
A great deal of excitement has been aroused over a very small matter; but it will have been of considerable benefit if some of the questions raised are satisfierly settled. There is some doubt as to just what students are members of the departments of Science, Literature and the Arts. It would also be advisable, if possible, to make it unnecessary for law students to go through the force of registering as students in some study in the departments of Science, Literature and the Arts which they do not desire to take and which they do take only because they cannot, otherwise, enter the contest. These matters should be disposed of, as well as a number of amendments that have been proposed.
The Oratorical Association
An adjourned meeting of the Oratorical Association will be held in the University chapel, Tuesday, February 13. A book for registration was prepared and placed in the Chancellor's office which was open to all students of the department of Science, Literature and Arts for registration during February 5th, 6th and 7th. In the coming meeting besides the regular business of election of officers for the ensuing year, the following amendment to the constitution will be proposed: "Ad regularly enrolled undergraduate students of the department of Science, Literature, and the Arts of the State University of Kansas shall have the right to vote for president, secretary, and second delegate of the Oratorical Association." This will give the right to vote for the officers mentioned to all students who would be eligible to compete in the local contest, and will certainly be fairer for all than the former method of voting by registration.

OUR STUDY WINDOW.
The professor of political economy in the University of Zurich told Mr. Greenland when the latter was about to start for America to advance the cause of socialism, that he would not find a single noble-pitied or courageous young man there. What was meant by this statement was that it would be impossible to find in the United States a young man whose permanent motive was not money-getting; that everyone would sacrifice his convictions, if not his honor and his friends, for the sake of private wealth. This sweeping statement is a serious charge and should be investigated. We must not turn it aside as a question of no importance, nor as one in which there may not be much truth. We are apt to look upon criticisms of America by Europeans as inspired by envy or by jealousy of the marvelous success of our great and glorious commonwealth. A great many consider a foreigner as a person not to be trusted, and to them the very term foreigner, has become one of reproach. Who has looked over the library copy of Matthew Arnold's criticisms on America, without being impressed by the question marks and uncomplimentary expressions written upon the margin by the pencils of patriotic students? And such question marks and expressions were often written beside some very pertinent advice concerning questions which are now agitating the minds of our leading scholars and statesmen. We must be willing to discover and acknowledge our faults, even though they be shown to us by some odious Englishman or German. We must be educated so that our vision may extend even beyond the boundaries of the United States.
The professor at Zurich however has made a statement which ought surely to be a hard one to defend. We know that wealth is sought more eagerly in America than in any other country, that here death comes earlier, faces grow careworn sooner. It seems just to admit that wealth is the motive of the typical American. That it is the great motive of all Americans is another question. The professor of political economy was surely ill-advised in making his decision, as he has not been in America and probably knows few of our citizens aside from those who attend his University; but strange as it may appear, after a residence of twenty years, Mr. Groudlund seems inclined to accept his statement. It is no doubt true that many would sell all that is good within and without them for gold, and that the vast majority are willing to suppress their convictions for the same commodity. Indeed in many cases it is necessary under the existing conditions to conceal one's opinion in order to live. A man has many duties which oftimes are conflicting. It is right and necessary before taking any important step to count the cost both to one's self and to others. Thus a man may refrain from throwing himself into a work which he believes to be good, and at the same time be neither mean-spirited nor a coward.
But with all these considerations it is evidently wrong to believe that there cannot be found in America men and women who are willing to sacrifice wealth and position for a good cause. It is impossible that we should be so different from other people in this respect. In our short past, petitions, heroes, and martys have not been wanting. So then if a cause which we are advocating fails to find any supporters, we must not accuse people of being either fools or cowards. There are a few who are neither fools nor coward, and if they come not to be our champions, we should examine again the theories and our exposition of them. We most support our faith by logic if we wish to convince. Our faith alone will not help faith to others.
That the assassination of great individual fortunes is harmful is generally admitted, mostly however, by those who have
not amassed great individual fortunes. But though the many would not be averse to accepting a million dollars even without labor, there are a few who believe that they see something higher and nobler. It is our misfortune that we are obliged to admit that the Zurich professor had excellent reason for believing what he said, and that he was not very far from right. But even one noble soul weighs much in the balance, and we should ever be eager to search it out and claim it for our own.
A book of some interest has recently come to the library. It is entitled the "Gospel and Revelation of Peter." The book contains two lectures, one on the Gospel and the other on the Revelation, and the Greek texts of the fragments as found. Mention had been made of works of Peter in several early documents, but nothing except that they had once existed, was authentically known of them. There seems to have been considerable doubt in early times concerning its authorship, and dissensions arose in some of the early churches as to whether it should be read or not. The fragment was dog up in 1886 in an ancient cemetery in upper Egypt, and is now in a museum at Cairo. The French Archaeological Mission at Cairo have the honor of its discovery and identification. The Gospel fragment contains the Passion and Resurrection of the Lord and it would be interesting to compare it with the other accounts. Portions of it correspond with the views of the Docetae, who held that the sufferings of Christ were but seeming sufferers. Thus it says: "And they brought two malefactors, and they crucified the Lord between them. But He held His peace, as is in no wise having pain." Hippidytus, who wrote a Retention of All Heresies, makes a curious suggestion as to the origin of the word Docetae. He says that they were well named Docetae, because they had a doko or beam of timber in their eye. There is much evidence for believing that this Gospel is the Gospel of the Docetae.

in that it is the earliest Christian Apocalypse save one that was ever written. It is a narrative of visions; one of the realms of the biest, and more particularly a vision of the torments of the wicked. Several books were influenced by this old Apocalypse; in particular, the Sibylline oracles, and the Apocalypse of Paul. Then since Dante was evidently influenced by the Panline vision, the Revelation of Peter had a share in moulding the Devina Commedia. This Revelation is mentioned in a list of 'disputed books of the New Testament' which has come down to us from Jerusalem. It probably found a partial reception at Rome and Egypt also, as the manuscript found there is of a date between the eighth and twelfth centuries. The following are quotations from the Revelation: "And I saw the murderers and them that had conspired with them cast into a certain narrow place full of evil reptiles and being smitten by those beasts and wallowing there thus in that torment; and there were set upon them worms as it were clouds of darkness And the souls of them that had been murdered were standing and looking upon the punishment of those murderers and saying 'O God, righteous is thy judgment.'"
"And there were other men and women being hurried down from a great cliff, and they reached the bottom and again were driven by those that were set upon them to climb up upon the cliff, and then they were hurled down again, and they had no rest from this torment."
It all reminds us of the old Greek and Roman accounts of Hades. According to them one ancient malefactor was obliged to forever roll a large stone upon a hill, while the stone kept forever rolling down again. Another was bound forever in a revolving wheel.

The Chancellor spoke of the importance of training the three-fold nature. He spoke of the pride taken by students at Williams college during his school days in being effeminate. But a revolution has since taken place in Eastern Universities, and athletic training now receives due attention.
In securing Mr. Cowan as Professor of Physical Culture, we occupy a somewhat unique position, in that Mr. Cowan will also be Chairman of the Chapel Service Committee.
It would be desirable if all the students of the University could be assembled once a week at the chapel service so that announcements could be read. By this means, the University spirit would be cultivated.
Physical culture for young men will henceforth be a part of our curriculum, and we hope to make provision for the young women. This training will not cost the student anything.
The Freshman Social.
The Freshman class held an informal reception in Music Hall last Saturday evening. The object was to bring in touch the Freshmen of the various schools of the University. Despite the attempts of some Sophomores and Senior "pharmines" to make our life miscruable, we had an enjoyable time. The Sophomore colors were found in the hall but were speedily transferred to each Freshman's shoe, and thus did we trample on the ensign of the lordly Sophomores. But after the colors had been disposed of the trouble seemed hardly to have begun. It was found that the floor of the hall had been liberally sprinkled with red pepper. This was gently but firmly removed from the building. Only a few minutes had passed when a window in the front of the building was suddenly opened and fully a pint of that delightful smelling compound, known to chemists as Bi-Sulphide of Hydrogen, was thrown on the floor. This might have put Sophomores and Seniors to flight, but it did not disturb the Freshmen in the least for not one left the hall. The only effect that it had was to place the company on their guard. Two other ineffectual it empties were made to incommode the assembled Freshmen, but they resulted so disastrously to the upper classmen that we hesitate to injure their feelings by relating the particulars.
The Freshmen then proceeded to enjoy themselves. Selections were given on the piano from time to time. Refreshments were served. The reception was a great success, and the Freshmen expect to have more and better gatherings as the days go by. By ONE OF THEM,
Introductory lecture, Prof. Dunlap; two lectures on Manuscripts, Texts and Translations, Prof. Wileoox; five lectures on the Book of Job, Prof. Dunlap; five lectures on Hebrew Theocracy, Prof. Blackmar; three lectures on Ethical Import of the Scriptures, Prof. Templin.
Several University professors have kindly consented to give a course of lectures on the English Bible during the present term. The program as arranged is as follows:
As this work is entirely gratitudous on the part of the instructor, we trust that everyone interested will show their appreciation by regular attendance.
Lectures on the English Bible.
This course, though something new,
will no doubt be very popular, and we
trust that in time it will be made a permanent course of instruction. The lectures will be given weekly in one of the recitation rooms, and are open to all.
Kansas State University. English Department special Notice to all students.
Beginning with the present term, the department of English will make the following requirements of all students, in regard to all themes, forensics and special papers submitted to the department for credit; in order to relieve the department of useless labor, and to ensure more careful preparation of papers on the part of students;
The opening address will be given nex
Wednesday, February 14, at 5 o'clock.
At the earliest possible date after themes and forensies are received, they will be criticised and made ready for return to the writers. The date when they are ready will be announced as heretofore upon the bulletin boards, or in the University papers; and each student will be expected to call for his paper at the earliest convenient opportunity thereafter.
No theme or forensic will be received if presented by a student whose last preceding paper is on file at the office of the department of English later than one week before the date when the next paper is due.
Papers will not be accepted, or if received at all, at a reduced grade only. If the work does not show that the criticisms and corrections made on preceding papers by the same writer have received careful attention.
The dates when regular themes and foretends are due, are given in the catalogue and in the English Bulletin. Special papers are due within two weeks after the regular dates. Any paper presented when over due will not be corrected, and no such paper will be received except a reduced grade.
Every theme or forensic handed in to the department must be accompanied by a logical plan or analysis of the production; the plan to give the topic of each paragraph, as well as a general outline of the whole. This plan is to be written upon a separate sheet, and will be kept on file at the office of the department. But criticisms will be made upon the plan, and the writer will be expected to retain a copy of it, that he may profit by the criticism. The plan should be prepared before the paper is written.
These requirements will be acted upon immediately, and will therefore apply to all second term Sophemore themes, and to all second term Junior and Senior forensics.
The accumulation of old papers in the office of the department, and the evident disregard of critical comments made on those returned, have sufficiently demonstrated the necessity of this action. No labor is more burdensome than that of the examination of written papers in English; and in future, since the amount of this labor is constantly increasing, the department will report as failed every student whose work shows that he has not profited by it.
A list of all all themes and forenses now on file at the office and remaining uncalled for will be posted immediately.

The faculty of Cornell University has decided upon a series of radical changes. After this term there will be no examinations held at the end of each term. The student's knowledge will be decided by the character of his daily recitations and by short examinations during the term.
Among our exchanges, we receive for the first time, the University Review, published at New York City. We are pleased to be among its list of exchanges, which aims to include every college paper of note throughout the United States. Thus it makes a special feature of its "College World." The January number which we received, represents forty-nine universities in this department.
The January Comp' D'Eat of Knox College, contains an interesting article in regard to a very valuable gift which it received from Col. Clark E. Carr, an alumnus of Knox. After an interesting address, he presented the library of the college with a facsimile copy of the famous Danish "Flatey Book." It is one of two copies which were received from the Danish government, after an unsuccessful attempt to secure the original for the World's Fair. The one now at Knox was on exhibition at the Fair and is of unusual value as a souvenir. The other is now in possession of Col. Carr. The following is the wording of the preface of the book given to Knox: "The Flatey Book, written between 1380 and 1400, for John Hakouson, was in the seventeenth century in the possession of John Finsson, of Flatey, in Breedafirn, (deeland) from whom, through Bishop Brymiel, it came in 1662 to the Royal Library in Copenhagen, where it has remained ever since. This book is the most perfect of all leecladine manuscripts, in 1905 columns it gives the history of the northern countries until the end of the fourteenth century; but in the present reproduction only those few pages are presented which concern the discovery of America by the Northmen in the first years of the eleventh century." We are pleased to congratulate Knox.

OFFICE.
A copy of the cassel of '92 "Quivira" will soon be sent to every High school library in the State.
The Chancellor gave a reception yesterday evening to the members of the faculty and their wives.
The new catalogue will show that there are 328 students in the school of arts 76 in the law school; 101 in engineering 52 in pharmacy; and 128 in the school of music.
Chancellor Snow has for several months been delivering lectures in various parts of the State, but last Friday night for the first time for a number of weeks, he had no engagement.
Since the report given in these columns several weeks ago, that the names of ninety-four Academies and High schools would appear in the next catalogue as tally or partly preparing for admission to the University, a substantial increase has been made, the number of preparatory schools now recognised being 108. This number, it is thought will not be materially increased before the publication of the catalogue.
The report that fifty students have been dismissed from the University on account of failure to pass examinations has been found, in equity, to be untrue. Only fifteen have had to be dismissed, this being the smallest number of dismissals to several years. Of these two are in the football team and three in the Glee Club. But this can in no way indicate the standing or scholarship as a whole of the remaining members of the clubs. The average studying of the members of the Glee Club is 80 per cent, which is in either case a higher average grade of scholarship than can be found in any other organization or class of equal numbers in the University.
The Freshman Social
[From the Sophomore point of view.]
In order to show its hearty approval to the efforts of the "Freshies" to promote the social welfare of their class, the Sophomores use for their encouragement tendered them the presence of a select representation of its best-looking members. The Freshmen, with characteristic in gratitude, refused to allow the well meaning Sophomores to enter the building, although the Sophs, had previously taken the trouble to decorate the hall with the glorious White and Red emblems of the Class of 96, and to add the spice of variety to the occasion, had covered the floor with a variety of spice known as cayenne pepper. The juvenile of the building seemed determined to mar the enjoyment of the Freshmen as much as possible, and he no sooner discovered the carpet upon the floor than he set to work to sweep it all out again! He did this with an idea that the freshness of the company could be better cured with salt than with pepper; but although his motives were good, the effect was disastrous. In sweeping the floor he impregnated the air of the room with hemoprotein to such a degree that the hemometer rose to 247 degrees in the shade; and when the President of the class and his lady arrived upon the scene, their faces bright with expectancy were suddenly corrigated with sneezes. All the early arrivals at the hall were obliged to "take a walk". In less than half an hour, however, the air had resumed its normal temperature, and the President decided that the program, as he had planned it without consulting the Sophomores, might safely be carried out.
But the upper class men had consisted with some of the most eminent pharmacists in the school, and it had been decided that the air of the room was not sufficiently pure for constitutions so delicate as those of the Freshmen. The only remedy they had set hand was a can of carbon disulfide, and they accordingly introduced this gas into the room through the windows, at the same time placing a pan of sulphur in the furnace. It cannot be denied that this was a rather heroic remedy, the effect upon the occupants of the room was such that the kind hearted Sophomores feared they had done the poor Freshmen more harm than good, after all. In fact the gas, which as every one knows, is very pungent in odor and not at all pleasant, caused so great a disturbance that the lady who was just about "to favor the audience with a soprano solo" received a severe shock in her nervous system and was unable to take any part in the program.
The poor Frisonen did not realize the heathful effect of breathing these gases, and opened the windows to let in some fresh air. This put the Sophomores to the trouble of introducing another can of the carbon disulfide, and when they they had done this the Freshmen imgrieciously left the hall and went home—with the design, of course, of circulating a report that the horrid Sophomores had broken up their ball. But such is ever human gratitude for favors received! The Sophomores have sternly resolved that never again will they attempt to help the Freshmen out of a difficulty.

Copies will be only 10 cents and may be obtained of the business managers of the STUDENTS JOURNAL.
The Introductory Lecture on the Bible.
Prof. Dunlap's lecture last Wednesday afternoon was very interesting and instructive and was attended by fifty-seven students.
The professor first gave a brief history of the translations of the Bible from the version of 1525 to the Kings James' version of 1611. Two things are necessary for a good translation of the Bible, religion and scholarship, and these requisites were possessed by the translators of the King James version.
The year 1611 was very important in the history of literature in England as the works of Shakespeare, Byron, Webster, and Chapman appeared then; but the Bible was the most important publication of all, even from a purely literary standpoint. Its style is simple and direct, and in a general sense the Bible is easily comprehended. It is the only book enjoyed by all people. Where one person reads Shakespeare one thousand and read the Bible.
One reason why the Bible is enjoyed, is because of the subject matter; the deep spiritual meaning and the message of salvation.
Its distinctive literary character is that it conforms to human nature. Its charms are, clearness, simplicity, naturalness and elevation.
Some writers appeal to the intellectual side of our nature, while others, stir up the emotions. In the Bible we find a blending of these two characteristics No one can be a scholar without a careful study of the Bible, as our literature is so permeated with Biblical phrases.
The Annual Election of Officers for the Oratorical Association.
The Oratorical Association met at one o'clock last Thursday, for the election of officers. By special request from representatives of the two conflicting factions Chancellor Snow presided at the meeting.
The meeting at once proceeded to the election of those officers for whom all the students who had registered in "the little book" were allowed to vote. After the tious process of calling over 300 names had been gone through with, and the president had decided that stockholders of the association could not vote unless they too had registered in "the little book," the following officers were elected: President, Mr. Charles Henry Lease; vice-president, Mr. Maurice L. Alden; secretary, Mr. Charles Pettyjohn; for second delegate, Mr. Mayo Thomas. The meeting then adjourned and a meeting of the stockholders of the association was immediately called to elect the remaining officers.
The meeting of stockholders was called
to order by Chairman Snow, and W. W. Kutz acting as secretary, called the roll of members, Mr. J. H. Witlington was chosen secretary of the association for the ensuing year. Then the new executive committee was elected as follows: R. G. Hopkins, chairman; W. C. Atkinson and Warren Edwards, members.
A motion was made, and, in spite of much opposition on the part of the first delegate, carried instructing the first and second delegates to the State Oratorial Convention to vote for Mr. Edward J. O'Bryon for a delegate to the Interstate Convention at Chicago. The non-fraternity board of share adjusters chosen were J. A. Simpson, C. Logan, and E. E. Waltirem.

SOTES FROM THE CHANCELLOUR'S OFFICE.
Prof. Cowan will be here by the 5th or 6th of next month and will commence the duties of his new position at once. His headquarters will be in the basement of Snow Hall but, as yet, no other definite plans have been made.
The Chancellor left last Wednesday for Lincoln, Neb., where he will attend the quarter centennial of the Nebraska State University. A great many prominent educators and public men will be present, and the occasion will be quite an important one in the history of our sister University.
The last copy for the catalogue was sent to the publishers Wednesday, and it is thought that the catalogue will be out by March 15th. The courses of five High schools and one academy have been approved since last week as sufficient for the admission of graduates to the Freshman class of the University, so that the catalogue will contain the names of one hundred and fourteen preparatory schools.

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, 226. Fifth avenue, New York, where all college men are given a hearty welcome.
THE oratorical contest occurs February 23d at Topeka. We are all going.
In another column will be found the proposed changes in the Science Club The article is written by Prof. Bailey and the plan proposed is the one that seemed best to the professors most directly interested.
The Harvard "Modern Language Notes and Studies" contained recently, a paper by Prof. Marsh, formerly head of the department of English at the University, and also doctor's thesis by Prof. Carruth, on "The Development of German Natural Consciousness."
The discovery that some orator has been guilty of plagiarism is getting to be a regular feature of the state contest. We believe that public opinion is unanimous in condemning the practice, and that this condemnation should be more strongly expressed, if there is no other way of putting an end to it.
The different colleges that have representatives in the state oratorial contest, are already making arrangements to have delegations accompany their orators to Toppea on the 23d. The college of Emporia has even gone so far as to invent a college yell express for the occasion. There is no doubt that the enthusiastic support of the students, helps the orator who represents them. And we have an orator this year who is worthy of the best support we can give him. Will you be one to show patriotism for the University in a practical way?
With this week, was begun the first o'clock lectures which the professors are offering on various subjects. Their purpose is to give students a general knowledge of subjects in other branches than those of which the students are making a special study. To say that all students should take advantage of such opportunities is to state a very evident trumis; as such a chance will probably never present itself after one leaves college. A pretty good indication of the spirit and purpose of a student is given by the fact that he does, or does not embrace such opportunities.
Now that all students of the University have been given the right to vote for the principal officers of the Oratorical Association, we can see no reason for still requiring students to register in order to vote. In politics, registration is required in cities to prevent fraudulent voting, and to make it possible to discover fraudulent votes if they have been cast. We suppose those who inserted the provision requiring registration for the oratorial election, had a vague idea that in some way it would prevent students from voting who were not enrolled in the departments of Science Literature and the Arts, although we do not believe that the list was ever used to find out whether the students who had registered were members of those departments. Even
this excuse for making the requirement has now been taken away by the amendment giving all students the right to vote. The registration does no good and causes a loss of considerable time. It should be dispensed with.
A WEEKLY paper, the *Tiger*, has been started at Missouri State University where there has been only a m a n t h y l e , the Argus, for some time. According to the Argus, the Tiger will rep c ent both fraternity and non-fraternity) students. As the fraternities are to be responsible for its financial support, the editor-in-chief and business managers, who have charge of the financial affairs of the paper, are to be fraternity men. "Every other editor on the executive board must be nonfraternity men." The fraternity and nonfraternity men are on an equality, except that as only the fraternity men are willing to guarantee the expenses of the enterprise, they elect the officers who have charge of the business end of the paper. Under similar conditions, we may assume that they would adopt a plan of representation similar to that of the STUDENTS JOURNAL. The important point is, that they recognize the fact that the only true college paper is the one which offers representation to all classes of students. We wish the Tiger success
Ass some of our students have expressed themselves in favor of the establishment of a military department at the University, and have circulated a petition asking for it, we have been interested in noticing what the papers in other Colleges and Universities say of it. At Stanford University, according to the Daily Palo Alto, "More liberal concessions were made to this department in the way of encouragements offered for the work, than in any other department in the University." Nevertheless, the number of applicants for the course has decreased from one hundred to five. The University Chronicle of the University of Utah, in commenting on the decision of the faculty to continue the military department, states that if the matter had been left to the decision of the students, the department would have been discontinued. The Industrialist of the Kansas State Agricultural College, while denying the statement that the military department is to be discontinued, admits that there has been great lack of interest. The training offered by a military department can be obtained by students, at any time, by joining a local militia company, and the time that would thus be employed by the students can be given to opportunities that are offered only at the Universities. For the physical exercise obtained in military drill, may be substituted athletic training that will give symmetrical development to the body. Kansas State University this spring for the first time, offers free instruction to all students to mast them to exercise intelligently with a view to the proper development of the whole body. Prof. Cowan is now considering what plans will give the best results with the opportunities afforded.
Let each department, or group of deptments, organize its seminary or Club and hold meetings as often as seems desirable. These are to be under the control of the head of the department, and the attendance in them can be required, if it is thought advisable. The topics discussed in the Seminaries will necessarily be of a strictly technical character. We have already such organizations in the Department of Electrical Engineering and in the School of Pharmacy. In addition to these, similar organizations might be started in the department of Chemistry and Mineralogy, in Natural History, in Mathematics, in Civil Engineering, etc. These organizations can
A Proposed Change in the Science Club. At the last meeting of the Science Club a plan was proposed for uniting all the scientific Societies of the University by the common bond of the Science Club. The plan may be briefly outlined as follows:
elect their own officers, and can be practically independent as they are at present. Such members of these organizations as are recommended by the heads of departments, or by a committee appointed for the purpose, can be eligible for election to the Science Club. This Club can then elect its officers as it does at present, and hold its meetings at some stated period, say on the first Friday evening of each month. The program for these meetings can be arranged by a committee, to be made up of members elected from each Seminary, and can be less technical in character than that of the special societies. The Science Club might still, as it does at present, arrange for special lectures and exhibitions during the year, and at the close of the year an annual meeting would be held in which all the results of original investigations carried on in the different departments of the University, would be presented.
It is possible that with the organizations thus united, it would be advisable to elect officers in the Science Club, only once a year instead of twice as is now the custom. It would probably be advisable to still continue the plan of paying a small annual fee, as it is very convenient to have some funds to draw upon in case of expenses of lectures, and for printing. Any surplus, above that needed to run the Club for the year might be allowed to accumulate till it is sufficient to warrant the publication of an occasional bulletin containing the results of investigations made by students. A publication of this kind might be made a credit to the Club and a stimulant to good work.
When the Science Club was organized, ten years ago, it was found to amply satisfy the wants of the institution for a scientific association, but with the growing and broadening of the University the present plan of organization will probably prove more effective.
A meeting of the Science Club will be held next Thursday, Feb. 224, at 5 p.m. and in addition to the regular program, final arrangements will be made to put this plan into operation.
Kansas College Press Association.
There has long been a feeling among the workers on college papers in this State, that more satisfactory results could be obtained, and a feeling of common fellowship furthered by an association of the college publications. Fellow ship between the different schools would create a closer interest in the work of each, and thus would aid the general cause of education.
The college paper is the living exponent of its school and in order to do honor to its institution and to reflect faithfully its spirit, it must be the product of much thought and labor.
Last year at Topeka, eleven of the States college papers organized a Press Association for promoting the interests of the papers and schools in the association. The association holds its annual meetings on the afternoon of the day set apart for the State oratorial contest. The second meeting of this organization will be held in Topeka on Feb. 23, 1894, and the appended list of papers will show vital subjects for discussion. Representatives from the various publications will read papers as follows:
"The Press Association; Its Field," Baker. Beacon.

OUR STUDY WINDOW
The Still Cave.
The life of a United States deputy marshal is such, that he is seldom surprised by a call to service, even in the most quiet times. He knows that it is the unexpected which usually happens, and has learned to expect it. Yet we could not but wonder a little what important work could have caused the anxiety and haste that were manifest in the bearing of the marshal in charge of our posse, when he hurried into the room where we were taking a late dinner, to direct us to be ready for moving within a half hour. It was not the time for questioning, however. We bolted our meal, saddled our horses, and at the appointed time were ready for further orders.
Directly south of Baxter (where we were) barely within Kansas,—indeed, with its southern base set well over on the two mile neutral strip lying between that State and the Indian Territory.—a long, steep hill takes its rise. From its summit, one gets the first view of the Indian country; a disappointing view in early spring and after July, but in May and June, one of great beauty. At that time, the burned prairies are covered with luxuriant grass, and the great lake of green, banked in by the blue, indistinct mounds that stretch around it like a massive pile, heaves and billows under the strong winds that continually blow upon it. Over the top of the hill, a road runs down into the strip, turns to the southwest for a few hundred yards, divides into four parts, and leads across country in as many directions.
The sun had dropped wet to the right of the meridian before our horses swung down the mound and into the left hand of these four ways. The change in surroundings was immediately impressive. Before, we had been riding between cultivated fields, and by neat farm houses. Now, when we had but crossed a narrow wagon path, there were no appearance of human life. Bad it not been for the beaten track and the wire fences that mark off one allotment from another, we should not have known that men had ever been there. In place of the tall, waving timothy and red-top, acres of short prairie grass whipped about. Here and there a red flower, never seen north of the line, sprang from the sandy group<sup>1</sup>. Sometimes a muddy slough crossed the road. A line of distant tiny ber stretched along either side, and another, in front, marked the beginning of a still more lonely region.
Our course gradually changed until it lay half toward the west. The landscape changed, too. Rocks and boulders lay strewn about. The muduations of the plain gave way to broken depression; and knots, thickly grown with blackjack and pignut, put up their serabby tops at shorter and shorter distance. All the heeds had been passed, and we came to the unfenced lands. The Mission buildings were rapidly taking position behind us, while the timber thickened in front. We now unstilting our rifles and quickened our gate, which had slowed down to a rapid walk.
Half an hour passed. At the end of that time, we reined up at Lykind's Ford, on the Deadhorse, a little stream rising west of the Mission and flowing southeast into Spring river. Hers the main road divides. One of its divisions goes straight on, over a stretch of levee, open ground. The other turns abruptly down the ri ht bank of the stream, over a rocky hill, and seems almost untraveled; yet beyond the rise it is smooth and plain. But the first branch, presently making a long curve and separating into many byroads, at length nearly loses itself among stumps and gullies, and cropping ledges of stone. Both lead to the cave where we expected to find the still; but the right hand way takes nearly as long again to reach it. To make time, however, was not our old et, and we stopped here to give Daniels, with four depenses, time to ride around by the long road, in order
that we might surround the distillers, hiding place.
The sun was only an hour high when we unstaked our horses and started up the rocky incline, our shadows falling in lengthy hyperhole upon the billside. Suddenly, Maybury's horse stumbled and threw him, breaking his arm. Maybury demanded that we go on, saying he would wait until we returned. We obeyed him, leaving Harley, who was a good surgeon, to care for him. By this time the sun had gone down behind the crested ridge, and the forest was fast settling into heavy shade. The moon did not rise until ten, and we were forced by the gathering darkness to dismount and lead our horses, that we might make less noise. Although the way was straight, it was nearly nine when we answered the signals Daniels had been making for two hours, and took our places around the cave.
[To be Continued.]
The Nation of January 18th, in an article concerning the Senate's rejection of Mr. Hornblower's nomination, contained the following: "In the first place there are the three half-crazy populists," (mimeing them together with a number of other senators who voted against confirmation) and then continues: "In fact it may be said that there are not among the whole thirty more than two names of men whom anyone that cared for the character and dignity of the Senate would put there." In this there is evinced a spirit which, though common enough, ought not to be expected from the Nation. It is the spirit which is well on the way to drive the descent citizen from politics. The fact that anyone holds views on political questions different from ours is certainly not an excellent reason for our calling him names. The Nation claims to be an independent paper, but it should not restrict itself to independence merely; it should be fair-minded. There is always the possibility of truth in opinions diametrically opposed to our own. It is very evident also that the editor of the Nation is greatly mistaken when he states that twenty eight Senators have been elected by people who do not care for the character and dignity of the Senate. What reason is there for believing that the people of one State have much less regard for character and dignity than those of another?
The following also, from the Nation of the same date as the above, does not exhibit a very commendable spirit. "The encubrations of the young professors of political economy about socialism are as valuable as Bellamy's book, and yet the professors are all possessed with the idea that they are pushing forward the boundaries of a new science with wonderful rapidity." Whatever be the merits of socialism, it deserves investigation. Great minds in the past have not considered it beneath their notice. Perhaps the editor would be wiser if he would follow the example of the "young professors" and investigate before he pronounces his decision. Although the professors are out of their sphere, there seem to be no objections to the "encubrations" of the editor of the Nation. Perhaps they too are "as valuable as Bellamy's book."

The Northwestern [Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association, comprising the Universities of Michigan, Northwestern, Wisconsin and Minnesota has disbanded, because the games could not be made financially successful.
A petition has been introduced in the Massachusetts legislature, asking for legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of football, and such "as will permit the slugging or roughness of such games when played between teams representing colleges or other educational institutions."
On Saturday, the annual convention of the American College Base Ball Association, a league composed of the base ball clubs of Amherst, Williams, and Dartmouth colleges, was held at Boston. Amherst was formerly awarded the pennant won last year. Each college will play six games and the season will begin May 8th.
College base ball teams are initiating professional clubs in making southern tours. The Yale base ball nine will play Johns Hopkins University at Baltimore, the universities of North Carolina and Virginia, and the United States Military Academy in a trip lasting from March 22d to 27th.
Hereafter at Harvard no one will be allowed to represent the University who has engaged for money in any athletic contest, or who has taught or engaged in any athletic sport as a means of livelihood. No one will be allowed to represent the University in any public contest unless he is, and intends to be throughout a college year, a bona fide member of the University, taking a full year's work. Only one regular player and five substitutes of Harvard's last year's baseball team, are eligible to play under the new rules. With the same purpose, a rule has lately been passed at Johns Hopkins University, requiring the captains of the various athletic teams to hand in a list of candidates. Unless each one is a bona fide student in good standing he will not be permitted to play.
The athletic committee of the University Athletic club, who were requested by various colleges to appoint a committee of practical football men to consider the reconstruction of the present football rules, have completed their duties. The advisory committee of the University of Pennsylvania yesterday notified George Adee, president of the University Athletic Club, that John C. Bell would be a satisfactory delegate to them and he has been appointed. This completes the committee of five as follows: Walter Camp, Yale; Alexander Moffatt, Princeton; Dr.W. A. Brooks, Harvard; Paul Dashiel, Lehigh and J. C. Bell, University of Pennsylvania.
Football has made its way even to the young ladies colleges. It was played at Wellesley this fall, but under rules so modified as to do away with all violence, the players even "begging pardon" when they jostled each other in attempts to get the ball. Other kinds of exercise are also very popular according to the Wellesley Magazine;
"The out-door athletics are now in full swing. Each Freshman is required to choose and engage in some particular sport. Tennis, basket ball, base ball, golf, and scientific pedestrianism, have all enthusiastic adherents. Basket ball seems to be the favorite, and every afternoon the campus is taken possession of by eighty shouting and excited players. Not only the Freshman, but all of the upper classes have gotten up basket ball teams. We now rival our brothers in the way of black eyes and injured limbs." "Plans are out for the new athletic field. It is to be one hundred yards long and to afford accommodations for running, jumping, base ball, cricket, golf and football. The site chosen is between Stone Hall and the lake, and work is to be begun on it this fall. The class of 97, with the energy of youth, have undertaken to raise 81,250 for this purpose before Christmas."

A Merited Compliment.
The kind of metal in Prof. Snow of Lawrence, was shown in his breasting the storm last night forty miles on a freight train in order to deliver his lecture on Evolution in this city. It was that kind of mottle pounding constantly agonist circumstances for twenty-seven years that built the State University of Kansas; it was that kind of mottle that made an exterminator of chinch bugs, and it is that kind of mottle that is constantly at work keeping the Professor ahead of his times. It was a very pleasant compliment to him that an audience of 850 people, including many of the best people of Kansas City, should wait in a hall an hour and a half while the lecturer was struggling through the snow drifts. The first of the series of lectures was a success, and this argues well for the entire course.—Kansas City Star.

Prof. Williston's Chapel Talk
He said that although Abraham Lincoln was very illiterate, still he was well educated. These two terms, illiterate and educated, although apparently different in meaning, may mean the same thing; because a man may be able to develop all of his faculties to the best advantage, without possessing much so-called "book learning."
Dr. Williston addressed the students assembled in chapel last Friday morning on the subject of "Book Learning."
It is evident that "book learning" is a mere filling up. The actual knowledge gained from books is not of so much importance as the training of our powers. While in the University, if we succeed in training our facilities so that we can use them, we accomplish our purpose.
There is considerable difference between the Eastern and the Western student. In the East the student goes to school because he is sent. In the West the majority of students come of their own accord, and for personal benefit. Students in the West are more attentive than those in the East. Occasionally we find an Eastern student who is more intelligent than the Western, but the uniform excellence of the student body is greater in the West. Good, thorough common sense is the object of a University education.
There is also great need of physical training. In this respect Kansas University has not been doing what she is capable of doing; but now steps have been taken by which every student can take regular physical training.
Washburg's Orator Flaggerized his Ora-
tion
Mr. Lord who won first place in the local contest at Washburn College, Topeka, will not represent that college in the State contest, February 23d. It seems that the Gamma Sigma Literary Society had discovered early last week that Mr. Lord had plagiarized his oration, but the matter was not at once made public.
In the interstate contest of 1886, Mr. Richards of Beloit, Wisconsin, took first place on an oration entitled, "Conservatism, a Progressive Principle." This oration opposed radicalism. Now, it seems, Mr. Lord read this oration in the files of the *Washburn Argo*, and no doubt, thinking it a very fair oration, committed the unpardonable offense of planning his own oration from this. Therefore he reversed the conclusion of this oration and slightly changing the construction called it, "Radicalism, a Progressive Principle." The faculty have decided that Mr. Lord is not guilty of intentional plagiarism, but that his oration was open to just criticism because of similarity of plan and of wording, and that therefore it is not advisable that Mr. Lord should represent the college in the State contest, but they refuse to expel him from school.
Miss Gertrude Dewey, the winner of the second place will therefore be Washburn's orator at Topeka, February 23d. Mr. Ferry Platt who took third place goes as first delegate and Mr. Charles Welch as second delegate. All these persons are members of the Washburn College Literary Society.

For several weeks our exchanges have been announcing that Cornell's students are going to give a Latin play soon, and now they are saying that Toronto University is to have one in Greek. Will they do it for amusement or do they actually anticipate large and appreciative audiences? We wonder.
It is said that a man seventy five years old has entered the Freshman class of Princeton. According to Kansas papers, we can best that by fifteen years. They say that a man named Van Buren, who is ninety years old, has entered the K. U. Law School. We have not investigated the matter and therefore are not ready to take oath.
The Kappa Kappa Gamma Reception.
The reception given by the Kappa Kappa Gammas at the residence of Mr. J. D. Bowersock, Saturday afternoon and evening, was a fitting climax to the many brilliant society events of the last few weeks. Nothing equal to it, it is said, has been attempted in Lawrence for a number of years. Over four hundred guests, the mothers of the young ladies, the faculty, members of the other lady fraternities, and the young gentlemen so fortunate as to be friends of the Kappas, were entertained. The house was beautifully decorated with flowers, and draperies.
The guests from out of town were, Misses Edith Is毕el of Topeka, Fullerton, of Beloit, Myrtle Moore of White Cloud, and Nellie Franklin, Kappas who formerly attended the University, and Misses Grace Duff of Horton, Daisy Starr Marcie and Brooks of Topeka and Ida Jones of Lebo, Kansas.
AMUSEMENTS
THE CIRCUS—SPECIAL CHILDREN'S
There will be a matinee performance of The Circus Friday at 4 p.m., in order that the school children and others who have not the opportunity of visiting the night performance may not be deprived of the opportunity of witnessing the remarkable performances given by Prof. E. M. Burks' Educated Horses, Ponies, Mules and Dogs.
MATINEE.
A performance is given which appeals with peculiar force to young minds and the tricks accomplished by the spirited horses, pretty ponies, comical mules, and active dogs linger in the mind and form a pleasant memory of the afternoon spent with The Circus.
"Our Country Cousin."Frank Jones' new play, is of a more pretentious nature than his well-known skit, "Si Perkins," and gives promise of being a great artistic as well as financial success. These natural and homely plays of rural life seem to please audiences much better than the plays for they appear directly to the heart. The action of the play takes place in West Virginia, and the story is said to be of intense human interest, with a strong, well-defined plot, and opportunities for elegant scenic and realistic effects.
At this matrine the price of admission to children is 10 cents to all parts of the house.

COLLEGE POLITICS.
I cannot say all that I want to this morning. Nor am I sure that the title on the bulletin board is a correct one for what I want to say. But it makes no difference. I am going to say what I want to say, as far as I have time and ability.
Euripides makes Medea say to Jason after he had married her in her distant home and brought her to Greece and there some years after abandoned her: Do you think that the gods of that time no longer rule, or that the old laws have given place to new? It is surely a rhetorical question. Medea, barbarian as she, knows better. She knows that the fundamental principles of morality are ever and everywhere the same, and that God reigns in his heaven and alt's right with the world. But Jason acts as if God had been dethroned, and wrong had by process of time or change of place become right.
But Jason lived in that distant time when they didn't know better. Oh, did he? Let us see. Don't some people now a days think that a change of place brings them under the operation of a new code of morals? It looks very much like it. A great many of us never thought it was right to neglect church services and religious exertions completely, until we came to college. A great many thought it the duty of a college student to study to the extent of his time and ability, till we came to college. We thought that the hard earned money of our mothers and fathers ought to be applied by us when they so kindly lavished it upon us, where it won't do the most good, in a way that would prove us worthy or all their efforts in our behalf, till we came to college. We thought the selection of our intimates was a very important and serious thing, and felt that we ourselves had a responsibility and duty in the matter, till we came to college. We judged boys and girls and men and women by their intellectual and moral force, till we came to college. We thought we ought to form our own opinions and be true to them, till we came to college. We thought that the best men ought to be advanced and the worst put down, till we came to college. We thought it wrong to do anything to help advance a self-seeker or a man whose standard of morality is not high, till we came to college. We had heard combinations of one sort or another to get some body else than the best man for the place into position of honor or responsibility, but we thought that was wrong and despised the people who did such things, till we came to college.
But, how is it now? Don't a large number of us neglect largely or completely all church services and religious exercises? And worse than that, don't we think that it is the thing to neglect them? Havern't a good many of us changed our opinion about the duty of the student with his time and ability. Isn't our aim here something else than study and self-improvement? Don't we think that the money that our fathers earn for us and our mothers save for us is put to the best use, considerable of it at least, when it is spent on suppers and dresses and carriages? Are not a good many of us satisfied to let a fraternity select our intimates for us, instead of selecting them for ourselves? Don't we judge boys and girls and men and women by the fraternity to which they belong, or by their inability or unwilling guess to
get into any fraternity? Don't a good many of us take our opinions from our fraternity or non-fraternity or anti-fraternity eliques? And don't we exert ourselves to put those opinions in force, and turn traitors to our own better judgment? Don't we occasionally discover that we are trying to advance some interior man at the expense of a superior one? And don't we have a rather good opinion, of man who can make and run combinations? So good an opinion that we fall a victim to him? Or even go around and entice him to gobble us up? After the success of a grand combination at a recent student election, I heard a young man of whom I expected better things, expressing his admiration for the principal schemer. I am told that that admiration is not universal. But I am also told that some of those who do not admire the schemer admire the scheme, and in order to get one were willing to accept the other.
What does this all mean? Have the old gods of our youth fallen victims to new gods? Do we live here in college under a different moral code from what we did before we came to college? Be sure you do not. The same God rules the world now that did then, and the principles of morality are eternal. Don't think for a moment that you can ever escape them. And they are inexorable. They will grind you to powder in the end, be assured, if you do not learn them and obey them. No fraternity or clique or public opinion or scheme or combination can change them. And when you are acting contrary to them, it isn't they that have changed, but you.
Go back to the goals and the laws of your youth. Make your life here in college the best possible preparation for a life of usefulness and honor after you leave these walls and opportunities behind you. Which reminds me that a student once told me here that college politics served as a preparation for after life, and justified our college combinations to elect officers of the various associations by saying that that is what we have to do in after life. What a fallacy! Because some men do do that, do you jump to the conclusion that you must prepare to do it, without inquiring whether it is right or wrong? Any combination that results in or aims at putting in any position anybody else than the best man that can be found for that position is wrong, and the last thing a student wants to know in college is to prepare himself to join or assist any such combination. The thing to do in college is to prepare to resist such a combination.outside. A college life and course is not a preparation for the worst that is done outside. It is a preparation for the best. Its aim is not even to make a man or woman as good as the ordinary run of men and women. It aims to make them better. Where are we to expect our better and best men and women to come from it not from our colleges? If you leave college no better than the ordinary run of people, the money of the State has been wasted on you. If you do no leave college better, you wrong yourself and the community. The very men whom in politics some of you want to take as your models, will never tell you to adopt their principles of action. They may use you and in that way instruct you in their ways, but depend upon it, they either lament their actions on the score of some grevious necessity, or are more ally rotten, or at least would never honesty aivise you to follow in their foot steps. And don't do it, I beg you. I hasn't been so long since I was a student that I forget that you have many temps
tions, and that it is hard to run contrary to public opinion in college or anywhere else. Its hard for a man to do a good many things that he ought to do, and duty is no less duty because it is hard. And besides, isn't there something exhibrating in the very fact that a thing is hard? What difference does that make to young and vigorous people? If you can't do anything hard, you aren't fit to be in college. There'll be plenty of hard things for you to do when you get out of college, and you had better begin to get some preparation for them while here.
I am so tired of hearing that we can't do anything by ourselves, I can't do this or that unless others do so too. It seems to me glorious to be a leader. What a grand thing it is to exert force! To go into the midst of the conflict! To conquer enemies! But you know you can't conquer enemies if you haven't any. It is necessary to have enemies sometimes. We don't amount to much if we haven't some. I rather like to have a few. They are a luxury, I think. There is a German proverb which says then when the dogs bark we know we are on horseback. And when you remember that other one that it is tonesome on the heights. Who would not rather b: tonesome on the heights than down on the plain?
Pardon me if I have spoken too strongly in anything I have said. Be assured I have spoken it all because of my interest in our University and in each student in it. I know few students to whom what I say applies. So there can be nothing personal in what I say. I am merely absolutely sure that these things are wrong, and just esse sure that wrong must be and will be crushed everywhere, and I want you to get out of the way before the crushing time comes. I want you to have us all take an interest in the moral welfare of the University, for that is its highest welfare, without which nothing will make us great or indeed of any value Our numbers, our appliances, will not save us, if we perish morally. We must get rid of some of our moral incumbrances. I have referred to several of them. But none of them is more serious just now than this resorting to combinations to secure the advancement to public positions of inferior men at the expense of superior men. Will you not think seriously of this matter, and so act upon a stop to 19? I am sure you can do it, and I am sure you will, though I know that no deep seated disease can be cured at once. Perhaps this kind will come out only by fasting and prayer. But no matter what is necessary, let us get it out.

The Yale Athletic Association has been invited to send a team of fencers to compete at Boston for the championship of New England on February 24 and will probably accept.
A number of Baker students have begun to practice for field day contests, most of them practiceng sprINTing. The Beacon is also urging that the base ball club be organized and put in training at once.
Candidates for positions on the base ball team of the University of Minnesota will immediately begin training in the gymnasium. It is reported that there are enough applicants for all positions, to insure brisk competition and hard work.
A game of football will be played at St. Louis between the Paulian Athletic Club of Christian Brothers College, and the Pastime Athletic Club on February 22d. Heffelfinger, the Yale guard, will probably play.

The stock of the STUDENTS JOURNAL company consists of non-transferable one dollar shares. Any student, however, may own one university may hold one and only one share.
This paper is on file at the editorial rooms of the University, Review, 256 Fifth avenue, New York where all college men are given a hearty welcome.
The large attendance at Chancellor Snow's first lecture on Evolution was very encouraging, but another week will show whether the students came from curiosity or from interest in the subject.
AT THE University of Minnesota, the marking system has been abolished. Hereafter reports will simply show that the student has finished his work in a manner satisfies to the professor; or if not, whether he will be required to do more work and if so, how much.
NEBRASA University which celebrated the 25th anniversary of its founding last week, has increased its attendance from 500 to 1,300 since 1800. It will be noticed that this period of rapid increase is comprised almost wholly in the time that James H. Canfield has had charge of the school.'
THE two young ladies who were elected members of the Plii Beta Kappa, have made a record of scholarship not at all easy to make. The attainment of such a record has required systematic and regular work for four years, without any lapses and gaps. It has mount the direction of just as much effort and perhaps more, to the least interesting task as to the most interesting one. In the practical world to-day it is everywhere recognized that the woman or man, who accomplishes most, is the one who has the power of laboring incessantly, provided intelligence is shown in the direction of efforts. To discipline oneself in this way is a hard task, and one who succeeds is worthy of highest honors. We voice the sentiment of the whole Universipt when we say we are very proud of these young ladies.
WE give up a large part of our space this week, in order to present to our readers a copy of the by-laws under which it is proposed to organize a new athletic association. The provisions of this instrument should receive the immediate and careful attention of every student, as a mass meeting of students will be called, probably within a week, to consider whether a new association shall be formed according to its terms.
The present constitution of the Athletic Association has been felt to be inadequate for a long time. In the first place the A-association is not incorporated, and because of this, it cannot make any binding contract and cannot compel the fulfillment of any contract. This inability to do business has given rise to much inconvenience; the new Association will at once be chartered and can do business on a business basis. The present constitution is drawn up in very vague and general terms; the powers of the different officers of the Association are not fixed definitely, and on this account the efficiency of the athletic teams has sometimes been seriously impaired by disputes arising out of conflict of authority.
The provision for the payment of a membership fee is the provision usually found in the constitutions of college ath-
etic associations. It is the natural way to provide funds for the association, and the present organization has been seriously embarrassed at times because there was no regular way provided for raising funds. The requirement that a membership fee be paid, will have a good effect also in excluding those students who take no interest in the athletic association, and attend the election of its officers simply for the purpose of getting up a big political fight, in which the interests of the Association are in danger of being lost sight of in the undr seracle for offices.
The reaction against giving undue attention to athletics in colleges, seems to have fairly began. We gave last week, the rules adopted by Harvard, and John Hopkins University, requiring that members of the college teams be bona fide students with good class staining. Now President Elliot has come forward in his annual report with the following proposals:
1-That no Freshman shall be allowed to participate in any inter-collegiate event.
2-That nobody be allowed to compete more than one year in any line of intercollegiate athletics.
3- That intercollegiate contests take place but ones in two years.
It does not seem probable that such radical changes will be made, and President Elliot probably made these very strong proposals in order that the subject might attract the attention it deserved, not expecting his recommendations to be adopted entirely. But it is very evident that it is time to take some such action. Items like the following which is taken from a St. Louis paper, are seen much too frequently:
"Tom Dowd is putting in his time training the Brown University team of Providence, K. I., and stands well with his alma mater. Dowd will play either right or left field the coming season with the St. Louis Club."
Universities are becoming the training schools for too many professional athletes. In papers describing the training of members of football teams last fall, the reader was informed that all time and thought were given to the game, restraint was relaxed and with other games it is the same way, the Yale base ball club takes its southern tour in the spring just as any professional club does, and boating crews are all ready at work and will be devoting their time, and their best energy to the work until July. Probably it was necessary to train players in order to impress upon sons the importance of physical training. This object accomplished, it is just as necessary now to confine athletic training to its proper place in Uri ersities.
Our Orator
Lorin Beecher Sears, who will represent the State University in the oratory contest at Topeka, is a Kansas boy, having been born near Blue Moond, Douglas county, March 10, 1872. If in early childhood he showed any signs of impending greatness, they are not recorded and the area that he lived played munches per week and swimming in the Kaw much the same as any other youngster.
At the age of ten he moved to Chillicothe, Ohio; and here went through that tedious process known as a common school and high school education, graduating from the latter department in 1890 as president of his class. In the fall of '90 he entered the Ohio State University, and there completed his Junior year. He has always taken an interest at different times represented his literary society as Literary Anniversary Day orator and contest declaimer. In his Junior year he represented his class as University Day orator, but in spite of honors and friendships and the ties of school associations, with that constancy typical of a Kansan born.
And so he came to Kansas, to complete his Senior year in that University, almost within the shadow of whose walls he had played in childhood.

The Still Cave.
When everything was ready, there yet remained more than two hours until the time set for this attack, it having been decided better to wait until the moon should be high enough to dispel somewhat the gloomy blackness of the forest. This chance to rest was welcome, after the hard riding of the afternoon and the harder walking of the night, and I nearly every man lay down at his place to await the agreed signal.
I was probably as tired as any of the others; but I had remained with the marshal at his request, and now accompanied him as he went stealthily around, making as thorough an inspection of the surroundings, as could be made in the darkness. To him, the ground was already well known, but to me it was entirely strange. I noted with surprise how excellently the place was suited for the carrying on of an illegal enterprise. The cave was at the top of a bluff, immediately above the river. But the bluff was broken away into a steep decline some hundred yards to the stream, and by this decline one could precariously make his way almost to the edge of the water—almost, but not quite; for still further up, a rather broad ledge of rock gradually rose from under the stream, ran along the base of the bluff, sometimes narrowing, sometimes broadening considerably, as the varying hardness of the rock had made erosion slower or raplier, and led at last by and beneath the cave. From this ascending ledge, an abrupt path went up into the cave it elf, wide enough for but one to pass at a time, and so stony that whoever climbed it was forced continually to cling to the bushes and s plings that obstructed it. Nor was there any open space or platform before the cave's mouth, but the path entered at once the narrow, low passageway.Manifestly, the only way of getting into the cave was, to creep in without disturbing the "stillers" at their work; for otherwise, they could easily shoot down one man after another as fast as the path could be climbed. However, we could hear nothing, and there was no visible sign of a watch's being kept. Having completed our inspection, we returned to our place near the foot of the steep path, and prepared to take what rest we could until the time for action.
But neither of us was able to compose himself. The marsbal seemed no less nervous and anxious than he had been when first he gave us our orders, and, knowing him through long association, I felt sure that we were upon a more hard-ardous and important task than that of breaking up on ilicit still and, perhaps, taking prisoner two or three halfbreeds or full blood Indian bucks who might be too lazy or too ignorant to make their escape. I was confirmed in this opinion by the fact, that stills are not common in the Territory, the strict surveillance of the officers and the difficulty of getting enough grain to run them making the chances, too great for the profits. And as for a still in this vicinity, at most only the marshal had, before that day, heard anything of it, although for two weeks we had been working in the approximate neighborhood. Taking all these things into consideration, I reached the conclusion, that the night's work would be full dangerous. But the more I tried to get an admission of such thing from the marshal, the more non-comMITTAL he became, and I finally desisted and gave myself over to my own thoughts.
But left to himself, the marshal grew still more restless, nor did my unceasiness increase a bit slower than his. Everything united to exaggerate the lonesomeness of the hour and the anxiety that had joined itself to our feeling of utter solitude. The woods were full of mountain, walling owls. Every gust of wind in the leaves seemed the shuddering of the forest, and when the dead arms of the blasted oak above us were clashed together, it was the cry of a cowing thing in pain.
Under the ledge, the constant waves were breaking in half-suppressed but passionate sobs upon the harsh sharp pebbles. Even the unchanging noise of the rushing water greeted with harrowing persistence on the ear. The excitement became well nigh not to be borne. I sprang up and paced the ledge, noiselessly but fiercely. Could that awful unrest not be shaken off? Would the moon never rise?
Suddenly, several quick shots came startlingly from the direction in which Maybury and Harley were. Then all grew quiet there again,—and then came other shots, followed by continued silence.
"What do you suppose that means? What can that have meant?" the marshal kept saying to himself and to me. We could only guess, and grow more anxious with every conjecture. The night was crawling by, however, and at last, looking at my watch for the fifteenth time, by the pale light of a phosphorus lantern, and then toward the distant southeast, I almost believed I could see the first faint traces of the longed-for light. I strained my eyes toward the point. It was no mistake—a dim light was breaking the horizon of darkness—but not the moon's light, for it grew brighter rapidly, and stood out high in the gloom, a great blazing heap on some bluff, not a mute down the river. We were too familiar with signal-fires to think for a moment that this had any other significance then that of a warning to the men of the cave and a call to their friends for all. Nothing was left to do but give the signal and take the cave at once—unless, indeed, its narrow mouth was already guarded, and murderous riles pointing out down the treacherous path. With a curse the marshal leaped to his feet and gave the peculiar owl-call that was to bring the men up close around the cave, ready for the final movement.
His first call had scarcely died away when a terrific galloping sounded along the road over which we had gone. Then followed the violent crashing of underbrush, the sound of a heavy tall among the rocks, a shrill neigh of surprise and fear, and a riderless horse, tumbling down the high bank, rolled out upon the ledge and over into the swift, deep river. The girth was broken in the fall, and I found the saddle on the ledge when I ran to see where the poor beast went down. It was Harley's—what then, had happened to him and Mayburg? Had the tiring we had heard been at or by them? And if so, what had called for it? My heart came into my mouth, for Harley was not only one of the bravest of officers, but my most dear friend.
There was little time for wondering, however. The last signal was given, and I sprang to take my place behind the marshal, in the line that was already beginning the hard ascent. It was a tired some climb, and long before we reached the top we were panting and gasping painfully. Every moment, too, we expected to see the flash of guns and be struck down by the unpitying fire of the outlaws. I had expected our nervousness to be dissipated by action—but not so. The marshal's voice was fairly troubling when he turned to me and said: "This is the hardest thing I ever did—I cannot as much as hold my rule steady or keep my knees from shaking." Plainly, too, his feeling was fast exending to every man that followed us. Yet strong as our fears were, we pressed on quickly, determined that, if our attack should be resisted, we would force our way against the guard before a second round could be discharged. Up we went, then not with out some noise;—but no shot was fired against us, and presently our whole party crouched in the low hallway that led into the main part, every heart beating fearfully and loudly and struggling wildly against the strange terror that was overwracking us. Yet the men who were to guard the entrance took their places without delay, and we were about to go on again when, out of the depth of the cavern strange sounds and voices rose. In
voluntarily we halted, each grasping resolvedly his rifle, but trembling with fiercer excitement at the wierd, awful tones. The voices rose in pitch, and the words came faster. But the language was altogether strange, and Daniels, who was a scholar of no low standing, whispered that it was a dialect and tongue unknown to students.
Again we moved ahead; but as we did so the voices of the invisible speakers burst into a strange, wild chant, and a nirytis, scarlet light, emanating, it seemed, from nothing material, bagan to spread through the cave. Over the farthest wall its hazy glory slowly rolled—along the other walls—up against the roof—out into all the chamber. With wondering eyes I glanced from one to another of my companions. The light was in their eyes, and on their faces, and their quick breathing, stirring the crimson clouds in front of them, made it appear as if they drew in and breathed out glowing, tenuous fire. But, excepting myself and the marshal, all were unconscious. As for me, I could not move a step from where I stood; but I forgot the momentary fear that thrilled me when I found myself fixed to the ground, in my astonishment at the more wonderful things that went on before me.
I could not leave the spot. I stood on;
but I saw the marshal,—gazing straight into the great cloud of beautiful light that now had gathered in the middle of the cave and stepping forward haltingly,—slowly raise his arms and stretch them out before him, while a look of mighty longing transformed his mobile face into a tendernessalmost divine. Step coming after step with hesitation, he moved toward the scarlet mist, the expression of his features growing all the time more sure and happy; and as he moved, I saw the cloud outfold in indiscribable splendor, and out of it a woman of utmost beauty came, and smiled and beckoned him * * * * * *
[The JOURNAL regrets that the talented author of this thrilling tale was carried off by a severe case of "red card" or, to be technical—flunking, before he had met his destiny. He will be mourned by many who have learned to admire his accurate, truthful style.
The Editor ventures to suggest, however, that, this story will be found readable, nevertheless;--for each one can end it to suit himself, the author having carried the narration to the point where the reading public always feels like taking hold to end the suspense and have something or other happen to the characters, and to keep any more from being introduced.—Lat.

Among the suggestions of plans for raising revenue, received by the ways and means committee at Washington, was one that each base ball and football club in the country be taxed $10 and that in addition a tax of $100 should be laid for every game of football played.
Literary societies flourish at the University of Minnesota. At a recent meeting of one of the societies a "Ladies Program" was given, and it ended with a discussion by four young ladies on the question, "Should Women Propose?" There was a lively debate, and at its close the large audience, in which were many young men, decided that the question was won by the speakers I for the affirmative. Perhaps with live questions of this sort discussed, we should see the glories of Oread and Orophillan revived at the University.

"NIOBE."
The theater going public of Lawrence will have a chance to again witness the most legitimate and still the funniest of all comedies on Monday, Feb. 26th, at the Opera House. Niobe is strictly an American comedy and deals with the complications of Niobe, the Goddess of Tears, and Peter Amos Dunn, president of an insurance company having been turned into stone for her continual weeping. She is bought by an artist and is insured in an insurance company of which Peter Amos Dunn is the president. Peter Amos takes the statue home to his own mansion for safe keeping; he has a wife who is very suspicious of his actions and also has his wife's sister living with him. This sister has charge of the Dunn house hold and also lives in the room Mr. Dunn has just had electric lights put in his house and in making the connections the workmen run the lines over the feet of Niobe, the statue. The Dunn family has gone to the theater and left Mr. Dunn at home alone. When the electric lights are turned on the electricity brings Niobe to life. As Niobe has been dead for 3,000 years one can easily imagine the complications that arise from her death. Mr Dunn as the new governess who has been engaged to take charge of his two daughters. At the end of the second act the real governess appears and then Niobe is introduced as his only sister Mable. The fun and laughter that the situations and climaxes bring forth from the audience cannot be described. Niobe cannot be played by an inferior cast as the piece depends largely on the acting style of the actor. This season the cast is the best the piece has ever had and includes some of the best people in the theatrical profession.
AMUSEMENTS.
The Opera House management offer Nioba as the best comedy attraction of the season. Seats on sale Friday.
A BIG SHOW COMING.
As will be seen by our advertising columns, the great Yankee drama of "St. Pinkard" is to be presented at the Bowersock Opera House, Wednesday, Feb. 28. This is one of the most laughable plays ever put upon the stage, but at the same time it has an interesting plot. It is presented by the comedy team Yankee comedian, J. C. Lewis, in the title role. The orchestra is a large and very fine one, and if everything connected with the show is first class. The prices of admission are low, so that there should be a packed house on the occasion. The press of this and other states speak in the highest terms of the show.
