THE COURIER, upon its present awaking, greets its patrons with joy and profuse apologies for its long protracted slumbers, and res its readers it will not again close its eyes before commence- t. for many years there has been a great deal of strife between the fraternity and non-fraternity students over college politics, and college papers. But this year there has been a very marked tendency toward reconciliation. Fraternity and non-fraternity meet much more frequently in society, and little or nothing of a bitter, partizan nature has appeared in the college papers. From this a number of students who have the best interests of the University at heart argued that it would be possible for the two weekly papers to combine upon basis satisfactory to both companies; and thus a much better paper can either The Student Journal or the Courier could be published without additional expense. A committee, elected by the student body, framed a constitution for the new company which could not be accepted by the Courier Company for the following reasons. In the constitution, factions are ignored and all members of the new company are placed on the same basis. This would be well if factions did not exist, but as they do exist each would endeavor to take advantage of the other, the larger party would soon gain entire control of the paper, dissatisfaction and quarrels must ensue, and all condition must become worse than they are now. The strength of each party is well known and the constitution should have been so named that each party should receive its share of the offices and the name of the new paper should have been agreed upon. If all points over which contention might arise were settled in advance good results were to be expected from a combination; but with many of the most important questions being left unsettled only anarchy could be obtained. The diminutive Methodist heaven down at Baldwin is in a great repro because his Satanic Majesty has kindled a desire in the hearts of some of the Baker students to play football. According to the opinions held by a portion of the brethren it is a sin to be manly, to take an active interest in athletics. A student is expected to do nothing but absorb great quantities of facts, and go to Sunday school. It is no matter if he breaks his health in study. He must not take part in vigorous games. One portion of the brethren have opposite opinions and have advocated football with more ardor than truthfulness, and are now undergoing the pleasure of a church trial for their gains. The appointment of Lieut. E. V. Smith to the professorship of Military Science and Tactics at Baker University, at last gives us cause to congratulate our Baldwin friends. The work of similar departments in other institutions have, as a rule, proven very successful and we hope the department at Baker will be no exception in its attainments. Several petitions praying for the establishment of such a department at K. U. were circulated among the students last year but since the services of Dr. Cowan as Professor of Physical Culture have been secured, it is somewhat doubtful that a Military Department would receive the support of the student body, since a much better system of physical training is open to us without asking the assistance of Uncle Sam. The efforts, on the part of a number of the Professors of the University, to establish a series of popular lectures upon the subjects most prominent in their several departments, is certainly a most commendable one and one that is imbued with a true university spirit. Every student should be eager to take advantage of the opportunity thus afforded to gain a knowledge of subjects outside their line of study, and to which they have but little time to devote. The hearty support and due appreciation of those courses already established will certainly lead the remaining departments to offer similar courses. This system of popular lectures by the special departments prevails in all the higher institutions in the country and its introduction here is most gratifying as it shows the growth of the university idea amongst us. Let every member of the University, professors as well as students, do all in his power to promote and encourage its development. THE Review comes out this month with the new and startling information that the system of "trading votes" in student elections is deplorable. Well, Bro. Griffin, we are glad you appreciate the situation, but we look in vain, for even a hint, at a means to remedy this atrocious evil. There is undoubtedly something wrong but we fear the trouble is a little too deep seated to be reached through a reform of student elections. When humanity becomes so interested in their fellowbeings as to consider the promotion of the welfare of others more important than the attainment of our own ends, we may look for the abolition of scheming and trading in democratic institutions. The English Department has recently received an invitation from the English Department of the University of Nebraska to participate in joint debate. A number of such debates have been instituted in western universities and we apprehend much good would be obtained from such a meeting with Nebraska. We hope the department will take the proper steps toward accepting the challenge. The recent admission of a number of high schools and academies on the list, whose diplomas are received for admission to the University, increasing the total number to one hundred and twenty, shows an important development in education, throughout the State, and a growing tendency to recognize the University as the representative institution of higher learning within the State. The prejudice and jealousy against which the University has had to labor in the past is being gradually overcome, and the people are beginning to avail themselves of the advantages offered them. The representative high schools of the State now send their instructors to visit the University in order to gain ideas of its methods in practice here and render them more efficient in preparing students for college. This is a commendable plan, and we hope to see more of the preparatory schools adopt it. 2 The University Courier. LOGALS. The Chancellor lectures at Hartford Friday evening.

The Sigma Nu box party, given at the contest in honor of Lorin Sears, made a good appearance. Prof. Blake delivered his regular lecture in the University lecture course at Music hall Tuesday evening. Quite a number of students left Wednesday for their homes and did not return until Monday because of the vacation. Prof. Penny assisted Prof. Blake in his last lecture at Kansas City. The subject was "Sound," and Prof. Penny made it. Mr. Moody left Friday evening for Detroit, Michigan, to attend a college volunteer conference. It will last about ten days. It has been decided that the physical culture be required of all freshmen and sophomores, and optional with juniors and seniors. Benjamin Ide Wheeler, of Cornell university, Ithaca, N. Y., has been selected to deliver the annual commencement address in June. One of the most prominent men of Kansas City was heard to remark that he would much prefer to listen to Prof. Blake lecture than hear Julia Marlow play. Mr. Short, who takes one of the leading parts in "Niobe," is an old schoolmate of Clarence Spellman and Charles Stone while in the Kansas City high school. J. H. Kennerly, a graduate of the Kansas University pharmacy department, who has been in Colorado for some time past, has secured a position in a Topeka drug store. The University council held a meeting Thursday. At this meeting the dates of the commencement exercises of the various schools were set, and committees on arrangement appointed. Fred Cornell, who is well known in Lawrence, especially in athletic circles, has been promoted from his position in the ticket office at Leavenworth to a better railroad place at Lincoln, Nebraska. We should keep in mind that every Monday afternoon Prof. Blackmar delivers a popular lecture on economics and social questions of the day, at five o'clock. Anyone who is interested is invited to attend. The University Courier. 3 A. E. C. Lorin B. Sears was born March 10th, 1872, in Douglas county Kansas. In 1882 he removed with his father, Captain Chas. B. Sears, to Chillecothe, Ohio, where he received his preparation for college, graduating from the High School in 1890 as president of his class. That fall he entered the Ohio State University, where he remained until his Senior year. While there he was active in all literary affairs, thus developing his oratorical powers. He was society orator, and contest declaimer, and represented his class as University Day orator in 1892. Last fall he returned to take the degree of B.A. from the University of his own state. Last January he won first place in the local oratorical contest with his unique oration on The Mission of the Drama, by virtue of which position he represented the University and won third place in the State Oratorical Contest held in Topeka last Friday evening. Mr. Sears is a leading spirit in the Sigma Nu fraternity, being a charter member of the Chapter formed at the University of Ohio. Hereafter no student will be allowed in any way to represent the University in an organization of any kind who is at the time conditioned in one or more studies, or who is marked as "failed" in one or more studies. Prof. W. H. Carruth, of Kansas University, is an ardent advocate of woman suffrage and is one of the hardest workers for the cause in the state. He says that the newspapers all over the state are coming out rapidly and strongly in favor of this issue. Lawrence Journal. Chancellor Snow gave his first lecture Tuesday afternoon upon the subject of "Evolution." It was well attended and very interesting. The Chancellor will deliver five more lectures on the same subject. The time set for these lectures is 5 P.M.every Tuesday,in the chapel. The lectures are free,and both students of the University and people of the city are invited to attend.At the close of the Chancellor's lectures,Dr.Williston will follow with another course on the same subject.Everyone knows that we have no one in the state who can handle this subject better. COTILLION CLUB. LAW NOTES. A club of University and Lawrence swell society people was organized last Thursday night under the name of Cotillion Club. They expect to give a series of Germans before the season is over. The first one was given Wednesday evening in F.A.A.Hall. A trial of Dr. Stevens will take place this week. He has been arrested on the charge of having attended "Black Crook" last Saturday evening. Jim Challiss left this week for the South. Jack Kerrign went home for a week. Will Wynn went to Topeka Wednesday. WINFIELD WINS. The largest delegations were from Lawrence, Baldwin and Emporia. They came as usual with flaring ribbons to designate their respective schools. The different yells were constantly sent up from the time the train entered the depot. The "Dalton gang," as the Baker delegation was called because of the ribbons they wore bearing the name of their orator, probably had the largest following of any single institution. The Kansas University was a close second, and the State Normal and Emporia College coming next. All the other colleges were well represented. It is said there were 500 visiting students there altogether. Shortly after eight o'clock President Forest Woodside called the meeting to order with some difficulty. The State Normal band, consisting of many pieces, opened the exercises by playing "American Cadet." It was well executed. Rev. Benj. L. Smith offered the invocation, after which the first orator of the evening, Mr. H. O. Banta, of the Ottawa University, was introduced to speak upon the subject "Our Attitude Towards China." Mr. Dudley Eaton, of Winfield, had an excellent tenor voice, and gave a solo with fine effect. Mr. John W. Wetzel was the orator of Southwest Kansas College, at Winfield. Mr. Wetzel represented the state of Kansas in the National College Prohibition Contest at Chicago last summer, taking fourth place in a list of thirteen contestants chosen from all the best colleges and universities in the United States. His subject last night was "The Province of Faith." Chas. B. Dalton, of Baker University, spoke on the subject of "Revolution or Evolution, Which?" He believed that the underlying idea of socialism is radically wrong. Chas. T. Courtney represented the State Normal School and spoke of "The Roman and the Teuton in our National Life." The bass solo by J. C. Everett, of the College of Emporia, revealed a voice of culture and possibilities, but it lacked force and enthusiasm for the occasion. . W. O. Allen, of Kansas Wesleyan University at Salina, spoke on the subject of "A Fundamental Issue." The Clarion Quartette from Baker gave some excellent music and were encored twice. Miss Gertrude Dewey, of Washburn, the only lady on the programme, took for her subject "Modern Iconoclasm." Miss Dewey had a well prepared oration and delivered it in a good voice. Our University was represented by Lawrence B. Sears. His subject was "The Mission of the Drama." Mr. Sears has the best pronunciation and the best enunciation of any one on the programme. At the close of Mr. Sears' speech the K. S. U. boys rushed upon the stage with a banner, which they had stolen from the Ottawa boys, and waved it mightily. The banner contained the words "Hurrah for the Winner!" The Washburn boys attempted to take it from the K. U. boys, but of course failed. A lively time followed, and was stopped by some policemen. There might have been no harm done, but it was well it was stopped where it was. The Emporia band gave a selection while the judges' decision was being made. The following grades were given by the different judges: JUDGES.

By the side of a table a Soph-o-more sat, Saying "Ante! oh ante! do ante!" And I stared and I whispered, "Sir, where are you at? With your 'Ante! oh ante! do ante!'" A smile of contentment played over his lips, While his eyes twinkled into a partial eclipse, "Cent ante! oh ante! do ante!" On the edge of a table this Soph-o-more leant, Denying that ante! cent ante! And the disciplinarians heard his lament O'er that ante! that ante! cent ante! But they grimly declined to believe what he said, And they writ him a writ of dismissal instead, And he groaned and he groaned as he shook his red head: "Sent home to my Auntie! sent t'Auntie!" A CHARACTER SKETCH. One afternoon, wearied of study, I threw books aside and resolved to take a walk up the Santa Fé railroad track. It was a typical autumn day. The young willows which skirt the Kaw were putting on a somber hue, and the corn fields along the track had already lost their livery of green. The short grass beside the track was dry and dead. Soon I passed the section hands engaged in burning this grass or cutting it out from between the ties with sharp shovels. After walking several miles farther I determined to rest, so I turned aside to a clump of trees a short distance from the track. As I advanced I noticed some person reclining under these trees. I soon saw that the individual was a tramp, a genuine specimen of the genus ambulator. He was evidently a man of about 40 years of age. His hair was long and black, his shoes heavy and coarse and much worn. His appearance showed the lack of soap. His clothing was the usual heterogeneous assortment which necessity or tramp fashion demands that the genuine tramp should wear. Surely not a very desirable companion, but I had read of strikes and lock-outs and of thousands of men starving for want of work over the country. Perchance a gold miner from Colorado, or a coal miner from Pittsburg! Curious to learn something of his antecedents I went over and sat down beside him. His face was unusually intelligent for a tramp. His voice was well modulated, his language excellent. At first he was not inclined to talk, but soon his reserve thawed somewhat. We talked of things of general interest, of the towns he had visited, of the dry fall weather, of strikes and lock-outs, and finally of tramps themselves. "Why." I asked, "do men become tramps? You see them every day. Has the life any particular charm, or are they driven to it?" "Well," he answered reflectively, "some tramps I have met are devil-may-care sort of fellows and enjoy the life. The great majority of them have been disappointed in life, and take to tramping to bury the past. I have met some who seemed to have the curse of the Wandering Jew upon them. Their only desire seems to be to get to the next town, and when that was reached, the next. The trump instinct was born in them. Others become tramps gradually. They lose self-respect at home. The ties of affection are broken, and they are adrift in the world without any definite purpose." "You will pardon me," I said, "if I ask you how you became a tramp. You have certainly seen better circumstances than those at present. You have excited my curiosity." "I do not usually tell my past to everyone who asks me for it," he answered. "The past unless successful is not a pleasant thing to talk about. And mine, as you can see, has not been particularly successful. But since you appear to be more than usually interested I will tell it to you. "Probably few young men twenty years ago had more brilliant prospects than I had. My father was a wealthy merchant in a town of central Pennsylvania. I was the only child; the pride of my father and the idol of my mother's heart. I went the usual round of study and was sent to college, where I was a universal favorite. Everything was in my favor; wealth, social position, education and fine address But the last, which I thought to be my best accomplishment, proved my curse and my ruin. I had moderate abilities. Thousands of men with less have won for themselves honorable places. Naturally I felt that with my education and social position I could make a success in life. My personality was greatly in my favor. The first impressions new acquaintances got of me were always most flattering to me.In college I always had great influence, especially with new students and lower class men. My address was winning, my manner magnetic. "After graduation I decided to study medicine. I went to Philadelphia and spent three years in a medical college. After finishing there I decided to locate in my native city, where my wide acquaintance would greatly aid me to build up a practice. "My success at first was phenomenal. In a month my practice was greater than that of the oldest physician in the city. All the old chronic cases in the city came to me, and the young, the most impressionable, literally flocked to me. I was happy. I thought my success was assured. But at the end of three months I noticed a change. My patients began to drop off, and at the end of six months my practice was practically gone. I was astonished and dumb-founded. What was the matter? My work as a physician had been fair. I had made no brilliant cures, but I had done good work and had lost few cases. "I became discouraged and resolved to try something else. Medicine was not my calling, I was convinced. I determined to study law. My father consented. My failure puzzled and pained him as much as it did me. I studied law and in three years was admitted to the bar. My spirits had risen meantime and I was determined now to succeed. I located in a town in Ohio. My experience was the same as before. I had plenty of cases at first, but I couldn't hold my clients. At the end of a year my practice was gone, although I had worked hard and faithfully. While in Ohio my father had failed and his wealth was swept away. The loss of our fortune and mother's anxiety for me destroyed her health and she soon died. In a year my father followed her." Here his voice trembled, but controlling himself he continued; "I left my law office and took to journalism. At first I was successful, but soon lost my position. And now a harder blow than ever befell me. The girl I loved, and the only one I ever loved, rejected me. 'You do not fulfill the high expectations I had formed of you,' she wrote." "Then for the first time I saw definitely what had caused my failure. My appearance and address prepossessed people too much in my favor. I could not realize their anticipations, and therefore I failed. "But why continue? Things went on from bad to worse. My personality haunted me like a curse. Whenever success appeared it turned out to be but ashes. I got lower and lower; I finally lost hope and self respect, until at last I became a tramp, the only thing I ever did succeed at for any length of time. But I am due in Lecompton to-night and I must move on." He got up and shuffled off up the railroad. "Don't let people think you are smarter than you are, young fellow, and then you won't take a tumble," he shouted back to me as I started for home. P. AMOR COLLEGENIS. O illam vade amabam, Et dedi dona multa, Et meam nunc putabam, Quod cepit mea pulchea,— "Anaticulam te!" Sed illa nunc est dura Ut fons est in Novembro, Et flamma, tunc sic pura, Extincta est in Decembro,— O ridiculum me! D. H. R. The University Courier. 5 --- ATHLETICS. Hector Cowan will be with us by the first of March. Now, for goodness sake, "get from under" and lets us have work. Lets us work together for ourselves and our University. If some of the people in this institution would get it into their heads that Mr. Cowan could possibly get along without them, they might be of some use to our athletics. Our "going to do something" government, by a great deal of pushing and work from the outside, has at last secured a man. Now this man has demonstrated, to some of us at least, by his work at Princeton, that he is capable of running his department. Now show him that we are willing and capable of working. He will show us how. A few words to the base-ball candidates who seem indifferent whether they play or not because they think so few games will be played this spring that it is not worth the time needed in practice: Games are practically assured with S. U. I. and N. S. U., as their teams will make trips through this country. Missouri, encouraged by the victory last fall, has awakened, and the chances are that Kansas and Missouri will cross bats at Kansas City. Should we have but three games and defeat three state universities, is it not worth all of the time and practice we put in? Baker, though the triangle is defunct, is still alive, and to defeat her will take all our energies. These clubs depend altogether on their battery work, and to defeat them will necessitate steady and hard practice in both team work and batting. We can be assured that our practice will be brought to good account. No year has the make up of the all-American foot-ball eleven been so easy a task. Usually there has been a man here and there on the smaller college teams that has played sufficiently well to have his name at least considered in the make-up of the national eleven, but this year none such appears, and the eleven men and eight substitutes come undoubtedly from the four large universities—Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and the University of Pennsylvania. Furthermore, the all American team of 1893, in my judgment, is the strongest combination that has ever been able to get together. Individually some of the eleven in the last few years, particularly '91, show up quite as strong; but for an evenly balanced team, including substitutes, I think the '93 eleven is the strongest that has ever been put forth. All-American team for 1893: Butterworth, Yale, full-back; Brewer, Harvard, and Morse, Princeton, half-backs; King, Princeton, quarter; Lewis, Harvard, center; Wheeler, Princeton, and Hickok, Yale, guards; Lea, Princeton, and Newell, Harvard, tackles; Hinckney, Yale, and Trenchard, Princeton, ends. Substitutes: Ward (Princeton), Thorne (Yale), and Brooke and Knepe (U. of Penn.), back of the line; Holly, Taylor, and Balliet (Princeton), and Greenway (Yale), in the line.-Casper Whitney in Harper's Weekly. At a meeting of the Western Interstate University Foot-ball Association, held in Kansas City, December 30th, 1893, the following important changes were made in the constitution: Article X, upon which hangs the whole fabric, has been unmercifully slaughtered. No action was taken upon our protest, but it is the opinion of our representative that we will suffer little from that source in the future. ARTICLE X. No professional athlete shall take part in any contest of the Association, nor shall any player of any University be paid or receive directly or indirectly, any money or financial concession or emolument as present or past compensation for, or as prior consideration or inducement to playing or coaching, whether the same be received from or paid by or at the instance of the Foot-ball Association, athletic committee or faculty of such University, or any individual whatsoever. The managers of contesting teams shall place in the hands of the General Manager, fifteen days prior to each game, the names of all players to be engaged in aforesaid games, which shall be forwarded to the managers of opposing teams within twenty-four hours after receipt. If any player be specially challenged under this section by any member of the association, the General Manager shall on the same day he receives the challenge inform the challenged party by wire, that such challenge has been filed. Said challenged party shall within three days after the filing of such challenge with the General Manager, file with the General Manager an affidavit duly verified under oath, showing that he in no way violates the foregoing provisions of this section, and upon his failure to make and file such affidavit he shall be barred from participating in any contest of this association. And in case the sufficiency of such affidavit be questioned by the challenging party, and the General Manager be notified thereof, the player shall submit to oral examination on two days' notice by said challenging party before the executive committee, who shall then and thereafter decide concerning eligibility of said challenged player to take part in contests of this association. The date of such examination shall not be set later than 10 A.M. of the day the game is to be played. No challenge or protest shall in any way affect a game which has been played previous to the filing of such challenge or protest. The expense incurred in holding such examinations shall be borne by the team losing contest. Furthermore, no one shall be eligible to take part as a player in any championship game of this association who is not a bona fide student of the University on whose team he plays, matriculated for the then current college year, and regularly pursuing a course which requires his attendance upon at least five lectures or recitations per week; and the player shall further furnish to the General Manager an affidavit stating that he is a bona fide student of the University on whose team he plays, matriculated for the college year, and regularly pursuing a course which requires his attendance upon at least five lectures or recitations a week. No professor, tutor, instructor or post-graduate student, except an aluminus of the University on whose team he plays shall be allowed to take part in any contest of this association. AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE VI. The fine of $50 imposed by the executive committee shall go to the team to which the game was forfeited. Section 3 of article II now reads: An assessment of $50 to purchase a cup for the winning team shall be levied. On winning the cup three times, it becomes the team's permanent property. At last K. U. has on foot a scheme that will, if developed, make base-ball circles spin once again. The Athletic Association has received communications concerning the formation of an interstate league, consisting of the Universities of Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas. The idea seems to be that a tournament will be held in Omaha sometime during May. The teams of these different Universities to meet there and play for the championship. This is surely a feasible scheme and it will be one of the best advertisements the University has ever had. The tournament if fully aired in all of the western dailies should prove a financial success for any one undertaking it. The only thing that K. U. will get out of it, besides the pennant, will be the expenses of the team. This of course is not much, after the heart of our "all for money government," but it is success to our athletics. It is an incentive for our ball men to get out and work for the team. Training for the ball team leads others to train for other sports, and then we will have a good athletic team. The indoor meet is probably given up because the rink could not be had only until the first of March. This unfortunate circumstance makes it impossible for the ball team to have any indoor practice this year. Nevertheless if this weather keeps up and we have our men out by the first of April enough good hard work will land the championship in Kansas. We have with us this year five old men—Kelsey, Chamberlain, Matteson, Williams, Alden, all of whom will try for their old positions except Matteson who will try for second. But this fact should not keep any man in school from trying for any position on the team. The fact that we have these men back does not amount to anything.

The Student's Quiz Books are designed for the use of students of law, whether in an Office or a Law School. They attain a manifold purpose, viz.: They place in the hands of students the work required in the chief branches of the law required at the leading law schools. They arrange in a systematic order the questions, with their answers, required for admission to the bar of any state, and by any law school in the United States. They give the student, in small space, the fundamental parts of the classics and chief text books of the law indicated below, in the shape most useful to him. The principies of the law, treated in the works mentioned below, are shown clearly, concisely and fully. The citation of leading cases, illustrating the principles stated, is a feature in which the work excels all other works of its class. By permission of the authors, editor and publishers of the works named, copious extracts from their texts and annotations are given. No other book in existence covers the same ground in the same manner. Students will find that, in a comparatively brief time, they can master that which they must master. Lawyers will find a compact and concise, and at the same time full and adequate, review of the subjects here included with ample citation of authorities. Wherever the works of Blackstone, Cooley, Anson, Chitty, Stephen, Meechem, Schouler, Story, Hutchinson, Parsons, Lindley, Brown, etc., are used and consulted, The Student's Quiz Books are of the greatest value, and persons desiring an elementary knowledge of the law contained in small compass, in clear and simple language, will find it perfectly adapted to their use and convenience. Walsh's Quiz Books form one of the most useful of compends andarious. Walsh's Quiz Books form one of the most useful of compends and reviews of the law in its chief branches. VOLUME I.
