This paper is on file at the editorial rooms of the University Review, 230 Fifth avenue, New York, where all college men are given a hearty welcome.
This spring oculator contest will be held Friday, April 27th.
A NUMBER of the college papers of Kansas have at last made statements that the newspaper reports of what occurred at the State Oratorical contest do injustice to the State University.
It has been suggested that a joint debate be held during commencement week between representatives of Adelphie Literary Society and the Young Men's Debating Club. Very successful commencement programs of this nature have been given in the past by University organizations.
KANSAS college papers are circulating the report that K. U. intends to withdraw from the State Oratorical contests. It does not seem probable that such action will be taken very soon, but whether it is or not, one thing is certain—we have not withdrawn from the Interstate contest that is to be held this spring.
THE Press Club which was organized some time ago to furnish news to Kansas papers, has decided to enlarge its field of work. Cuts of the University buildings are being made, and will be used to illustrate special articles on subjects connected with the University which newspapers receiving University correspondence may wish to have treated. The club is doing an important work, and we take pleasure in noting this evidence of its success.
industrialist: The Seniors of the Kansas State University have decided to contribute from $8 to $10 each toward a fund to assist poor students. The money will come out of the commencement fund. This action is a most commendable one. It shows that the class of '94 have "their hearts like their heads at the proper place". In no other way could these students better show their affection for their alma mater. A such fund carefully husbanded and added to by successive graduating classes will grow in time into a great and substantial benefaction and a noble help to seekers after the advantages of the University.
Tim editor of College Life is trying to induce the young labors of Emporia College to enter a declaration contest. Don't you think from the following that his efforts should be crowned with success? "We have hitherto deluded ourselves with the idea that our college girls had considerable grit or feminine spunk. It seems to be a mistake at the present. Hypatia fails to send any representative to the declamation contest, and one of them recently delivered an oration on woman's rights too. We didn't believe girls could be outdone by boys, but it seems so at present. If you haven't any more nerve than that girls, how will you ever vote or whirl a rolling-pin so as to hit your old man on the softest part of his head without missing? Better consider."
Gross misrepresentation and downright lying are, as a rule, not found in college papers, but the majority of the statements with regard to the University of Kansas that are found in the Baker *Bacon* can be characterized in no other way. College papers, just as papers in other fields, are supposed to take the course of action that meets the heartiest approval of their supporters, but we can hardly believe that the disreputable course of the *Bacon* is approved by the institution which it represents. If however, the supporters of the paper do not approve of its action, they are to be censured if they do not vindicate themselves by calling the *Bacon* to account.
THE University is entertaining this week the members of the Northeast and Southeast Kansas Teachers Associations, and to night will give them a reception to which the students are invited. It is unnecessary to say that the teachers are welcome, especially so since the University is a part of the public school system of Kansas, and a close acquaintance between instructors in different parts of the system cannot but be profitable. We hope the visitors will seek to become as thoroughly acquainted as possible with the University, its faculty and students, in order that they may form for themselves a judgment of the character of the institution.
ONE of the departments of the University that has not yet adapted itself to the changes made by the new time schedule, is the library. Though we now have Saturday morning classes, the library is not opened until 9 o'clock on Saturday, thus giving students access to the library shelves for only a very short time, to prepare lessons. The University Review suggests that in order to accommodate students who have Saturday morning classes, the library should be opened on Friday evenings, and at an earlier hour Saturday mornings. The Library was formally opened on Friday evening, but not enough students used the library to make it profitable to continue the practice. A trial for a week or two would show whether there is need of again opening the library on Friday evening. But there can be no doubt of the necessity of opening it earlier on Saturday morning, and we do not see that it will be any great hardship to the librarians to do so. All that is asked is that the library be opened as early on Saturday morning, as it is now on other week days.
QUOTING the statement of the athletic editor of the STUDENTS JOURNAL that it is very doubtful whether the proposed Interstate Field Day contest will take place, the Cooper Courier again urges what it has for some time been advocating, that the students of the colleges of Kansas meet in a field day contest this spring. In conclusion the Courier says: "It is due to the other colleges in the State to have a Field Day this year, and it is the place of the State University to arrange for it, as they did last year." In the contest held last year on McCook field, Cooper Memorial College, Baker, and the University of Kansas took part; and the enterprise was very successful. Without doubt a larger number of colleges will send representatives this year, and the contest will be much more successful, if arrangements are made in time. This is a lure opportunity for the new athletic association to distinguish itself.
By the way would it not be well to make more complete the organization of the new athletic association before the end of the present term; at least to give students an opportunity to become members? The only members of the association now are the officers, about eighteen in number; and from present indications it seems likely that no other members will be admitted during the present term. If this is the case, the association will probably be so disorganized at the beginning of the fall term as to be totally unfit for effective work for sometime
after the school opens, for a number of the present officers will probably not attend the University next fall, and considerable time must elapse before the enrollment of members of the association will have been completed and new officers can be elected.
A list of colleges and Universities having an enrollment of one thousand students was 'tately published. The enrollment of our University, as shown by the new catalogue, entitles us to a place on the list. We have now over twelve hundred students. All of them are pursuing regular courses of study, and on passing satisfactory examinations, receive credit for the work done and all on the completion of the required amount of work, are entitled to receive the degrees conferred by the University. This is just as true of University Extension students as of those who attend classes at the University buildings. To at least one of the universities mentioned on the list, there is still a preparatory department, and short term farmer's courses are given which require the attendance of students for only a few weeks. Students in these departments are regularly enrolled, and are a part of the one thousand students of the institution. Besides these, there are what are called in absentia students, that is, teachers and other persons interested in higher education are allowed to enroll as students. They need never have been at the University, and are not required to pursue any course of study. They are given the privilege of asking advice about methods of instruction, or about the work they may be doing. This is the connection this part of the one thousand students has with the school. We think that with such competitors, we could make good a claim to a place on that list.
The Meeting of the Northeast and South East Kansas Teachers Association.
The meeting of the teachers which is now being held in Lawrence should be of special interest both to the city and University, as teachers come here from all parts of the State, and the sessions are being held at the University. Prof. Olm instructor in Pedagogy in the University, is president of the Northeast Teacher's Association. Several of the professors of the University occupy prominent places on the program.
Chancellor Snow speaks on "The Qualifications of the Teacher in Scholarship" this afternoon, Prof. Hopkins, Saturday morning, leads in a discussion on the subject, "University Extension for the teachers of the District Schools," and Prof. Blackmar presides Saturday afternoon at the Round Table on the subject of History. Besides these it may be of interest to know that President Quyleb of Baker will speak this afternoon, and Prof. A.W. Small of Chicago University will lecture on the "Social Problem" this evening at S o'clock. Immediately after this lecture, the faculty will give a reception to the teachers and students, and refreshments will be served.
Dr. Williston made some valuable dis coveries during the spring vacation. Eight complete skeletons of extinct Pecaries belonging to an entirely new genus and species were round in the Pilocene of Western Kansas in Sherman county. They were discovered in digging a well, and were ten feet below the surface of the ground. These Pecaries are about the size of a New Foundland dog. As soon as possible the best one of the fossil skeletons will be mounted and placed on exhibition by Mr. Overton. A full description of these new specimens will be given by Dr. Williston in the next number of the University Quarterly.
Dr. Williston's Discoveries.
The Law school will render the following class day program: Orators, Messrs. Challis, Bennett, Orr, and Higgins Theses, Mrs. Phillips, and Messrs. Melvin and Campbell; Debate by Messrs. Park and Sprout.

[Translated from Goethe.]
A little blue-shell.
Early in May.
Spring up from the ground.
In its dress so gay;
A little berry drink.
On the tiny chair.
Made for each other.
We know full well.
Charlotte.
Charlotte was our cook. She was about medium height, square-shouldered straight as an arrow, carrying her head proudly erect in the consciousness of superiority over her associates. Her hair was dark and wavy and her complexion—but you can tell that for yourself, when you have heard about her.
If at any time while she was the cook, you had gone into our kitchen, you would have said that order reigned supreme there. But we who knew Charlotte never said that, we used to say that Charlotte reigned supreme there. The kitchen was a large one—a boarding house kitchen—and contained several tables, but under no circumstances would she allow a kettle or greasy pan to be set down on one of these tables. She had a number of little boards which she kept on the tables to set the cooking vessel; and these boards were secured thoroughly with lye, every day and were always put away in exactly the same position. If any one of the girls happened to displace a board, Charlotte would say sharply: "Look-a-bear gal, you better straighten them holds." She even had a certain position for the shovel; and once, when my mother put it down with the wrong side to the wall, Charlotte remarked respectfully, but in a decided tone: "This chile never puts no shovel down that-a-way."
Charlotte was a lover of peace, a trait not common to her race. While she was working at our house, the church she attended got into a great quarrel over their minister, part of the members were determined to dismiss him, while the others were quite as determined to retain him. They used to have church meetings two or three times a week; and at these meetings they seemed a veritable church militant. Whenever I knew there was to be a church meeting I would say: "Well Charlotte are you going to the meeting to night?" just to hear her say, "Lawd no chile, I don't want to git out wid razah."
She was very obliquing and was often imposed on, especially by Maggie, the dining room girl, who whenever she wanted a favor from Charlotte, would be all smiles and graciousness itself, though at other times, she was often actually uncivil to Charlotte. But Charlotte, with all her kindness, was sharp enough to see through Miss Maggie's tricks, and when that young lady began to be very polite. Charlotte would say with a wag of her head "Look out chile, there's a rat in the wall!" and then go right on doing kindnesses, for which Maggie would give neither pay nor thanks, never doubting her ability to get more favors from Charlotte whenever she wanted them.
Charlotte had a great alliums—"miseries" she called them. But though
she would complain almost incessantly of a "misery" in her back and another in her "hold." yet nothing would induce her to forsake her post in the kitchen, and the care of her precious "bolds."
Though whenever you asked after her health her usual reply was: "I feel miserable baid; if I don't feel better next week, you won't see this chile in no cook kitchen."
These "miseries" troubled us somewhat at first, but when we once came to realize what a comfort they were to Charlotte, we ceased to worry and as time went on, we found that in spite of her "miseries," she could always be depend upon.

A Method of Reforming Cranks,
In the last decade the crank question has assumed an astonishing proportions; never in the history of the world have cranks welded so much power as at the present time. Before this small body of individuals our mightiest platoeas, our weightiest aldermen, in fact all the idols of our tribe, tremble for their very lives.
So great indeed have been the ravages of the cranks, that the people have risen in their might to crush them. Let a crank but show himself and he is sure to die in the United States he is hanged, while in France he is guillotined, but the effect is the same. All feel that this

is an inhuman way of decealing, but it is reported to because there seems to be no other way of escaping a soil greater evil. If a gentler method could be found, it would surely be substituted at once.
In order to find this method we would do well to examine the pages of history; there do we find the solution of many a social and economic problem. A thorough examination would reveal satisfactory methods for dealing with all cranks; in partial or so of this statement, allow me to give the way in which one kind of crank has been reformed. It is the case of Eleanor Davies, the anagram crank.
1
In order that all may understand the illustration, I shall explain the anagram. "An anagram is the transposition of the letters of a word, or short sentence, so as to form another word, or phrase, with a different meaning." Thus the letters which compose the word *punishment*, may be arranged so as to form the words *nune thumps*, and *gallantrums* become *all great sins*. An ancient rhetoric says of the Anagram: "As it is a mere literary amusement, the exercise is not considered worthy of much attention" Sir Isaac Newton turned it to good account, however, by depositing his mathematical principles in the form of anagrams, thus preventing them from being stolen. Pilate's question to Jesus "Qidi est varias!" (What is truth?) might have been answered very aptly with the anagram: "Est vir qui adest!" (It is the man who is before you.)
But Eleanor Davies did not use the anagram so profitably; she became a crank. Because she could form the anagram, *Reveal*, o'Daniel, from the letters of her name—though the anagram was faulty, containing an / too much and an s too little—she fancied herself a prophetess. Her wise friends found a very effective way of using her, however; she was completely put down by the anagram which they formed from the name *Damn Elianor Davis*, "never so mad a lady." From this experiment we arrive at the general principle that like curves like. Applied wisely, this principle leads to none but the best results; only an ignorant person could conclude from it that a murderer's crank must be murdered. It is doubtless evident to all that a most valuable discovery has been made, and the philosophy of history will hereafter be more highly honored.
The Course in Elocution.
The aim of the course of instruction in the recently reorganized department of elocution In the University will be to teach thoroughly the principle of vocal expression and the elements of elocution. After this year the Sophomores work will consist entirely of practical stage work in oratory and elocution. The Freshman work in elocution will be of the same character as that done by both the Sophomore and Freshman classes this year, so that our class in elocution will hardly have been fairly started until next year. Mrs. Clarke has been especially successful in training teachers in elocution and physical culture. She has placed two teachers in the Ohio Wesleyan University at Delaware, one at the Stateasylum for the Deaf and Dumb at Olathe; one at Midland College and one at Cherokee, Kas. She has also two graduates who are teaching in Kansas City and a number of others, all of whom have been successful. Mrs. Clarke says that she does not approve of a numb-pamby system of physical training, but of a scientific medical treatment with a view to health first and grace second. The total enrollment in the school of elocution at present is 190.
The Glee Club.
The Glee Club manager reports a very successful trip. The club was received with much enthusiasm and was treated very finely in every town which it visited. At Channte it was met by an overflowing house and most of the crowd wore the yellow ribbon of Baker University. Every selection was enriched a number of times, and everywhere the program of the club was greatly appreciated. In a financial way also the Club was very successful.

COMMUNICATIONS.
The King James translation of the Bible is recognized by all students and scholars of the English language to be the very finest specimen of English literature ever written. As poetical works, the book of Job and the Psalms of David have never been executed. As a historical work, the Bible has been proved to be correct in its statements, and is invariable to the student of history. The ethical and religious teachings of the Bible are acknowledged, wherever they have been introduced, to be vastly superior to any other system or creed.
All these just praises have been given to the Bible by the best scholars and the most highly educated men of the world. Yet the curriculum of our University contains no provision for the study of this most important subject. Last term, a petition was circulated, and a large number of signers obtained, asking that the study of the English Bible be added to our present course of study. This petition was presented to the faculty, but for some unexplained reason has never been acted on, or if acted on, no steps have as yet been taken to add such a course to the list of optional studies.
No good reason can now be assigned for neglecting this important branch of work. A large number of students have signified their wish to study the English Bible, and we now have a professor who is well qualified to teach such a class. Will not the faculty take some action in regard to this matter at once?
ATHLETICS
The gymnasium apparatus has been removed to the basement of Snow Hall.
Basket ball is a very popular game at the Y, M. C. A. building in Kansas City,
“Rigs” “Waltmen” and “Duffer” masquerade as oarsmen in the last issue of the Courier.
The constitution of the Athletic Association is closely modeled after that of the University of Pennsylvania.
What has become of the tug of war between the Rush Club and Troel's tigers? "We are waiting patiently.
The faculty has taken no action in regard to the base ball game with the Seniors but a date will probably be announced soon.
The Philadelphia league team shut out the University of Pennsylvania team last week in a well played game. The score was 13 to 0.
Gus Mackey, the Indian pitcher, will play ball in Pennsylvania this summer. He has been in training for some time, and is in better condition than ever.
The faculty of the University of Pennsylvania has decided to take a hand in making football rules and has made the following announcement: No student shall be allowed to play on the team for more than four years and no student will be allowed to play unless he is taking a regular course in the University. This is a good start and it is to be hoped that other institutions will take action in this same line.
Lark Smith will not return to complete his course this year and will remain in Oklahoma this summer. It is to be regretted that he will not be able to pitch or the base ball this spring.
Considerable interest is being shown in tract athletics and some good records have been made this spring. About fifteen men are practicing regularly. Several more candidates are wanted for the half and quarter mile races. Better records than ever will be made this year in pole vaulting, hitch and kick, and jumping as well as in throwing the hammer and putting the sixteen pound shot. It would be a good plan if Freshmen and Sophomores could substitute work of this kind for required physical culture exercise.
Manager Harding has made arrangements for several base ball games for this spring and our boys will have a chance to play against professional teams. They will meet the Kansas City Blues at McCook Field on the 18th of this month and will go to St. Joe to play on the 27th and 28th. A return game will be played here on the 2d of May. Arrangements have been completed for several games with the Emporia College team but the dates have not been announced. Efforts are being made to secure a game with the Kansas City Reds either at Kansas City or at McCook field sometime during this month. The boys expect to go to Kansas City, Kas., on the 21st and will get in shape as soon as possible.
the Kansas Academy of Language and Literature,
At the next meeting of the Kansas Academy of Language and Literature at Washburn College, Topeka, on the 12th, 13th and 14th of April, a very interesting program will be given. The discussions to be presented will be classified into language productions, original work, critical reviews and methods. Several K. S. U. people will occupy prominent places on the program. In the language section, Miss Carrie M. Watson will present a paper on "Bibliography of Kansas," and Prof. W. H. Carrath will continue his "Notes on Dialects." Prof. A. G. Canfield will give a sketch on "Kansas Literary Clubs" in the department devoted to literary work. And under the section of method of culture, Prof. F. W. Blackmar will present "University Extension—Its Plan and Accompishment."

HAVE YOU SEEN
She giggled when he talked to her,
She giggled when he stopped,
She giggled when he kissed her first,
She giggled when he "popped";
She giggled when the day was set,
She giggled when they wed;
And now he often wonders if
She'll not ginger when he's dead.
Is still run by horse power. —Ex A very original and interesting article, entitled "Boys who should not go to college," by G Stanley Hall, president of Hail University, appears in the Youth's Companion. What he says may be summed up in these four sentences, taken from the article "Long experience with several colleges has made it perfectly clear that many boys are injured far more than helped by a four years' college course." "Boys who are not physically strong and well should not go to college." "The second class of boys who ought not to go to college are those who have not strong intellectual interests and superior ability. Young men who have not decided moral convictions and more or less saddled moral character ought not to go to college."
His strange, to say the least,
In this advancing hour,
The grinding mill of college
The University of Missouri seems to be rushing into the newspaper business, Not long ago we mentioned the fact that a weekly called the Tiger had been started, and now the M. S. U. independent, a "Barb" paper has begun its career. They are both bright and newy, but we would advise them to combine, so as to give the University one stronger ramer.
Said a pupit, seeking after truth.
She'll not giggle when he dead.
It strangles to ear the heart.
The REGENT?
First Yale man—"Harvard is just as
cared for a pre-1000 years old."
A student in college included in the list of expenses which he sent home to his father, the item Charity $20." The father remarked in reply: "I fear that charity covers a multitude of sins."
Second Yale am — Which professor
ship has it been appointed to?"
"Dear Teacher, please define Co-education." Said the Prof.
Twate the day of examinations;
His face was serene enough.
As he took his place—
The S U I local oratorical contest was won by Mr. Geo, G. Fraker whose subject was "The Tribe of Ishmael." The subject of his creation was the danger to the United States from its paupers and criminals, and as a remedy he recommended especially, stricter marriage laws. The incurably diseased, the mentally defective, should not be allowed to marry. "When we lift our moral ideas so high that they can meet purity on its own level, and can regard the marriage of the corrupt in body, mind or morals, as the crime of murder, then we have a basis for the support of our statute, requiring a certificate of health before a license is issued."

American Sports Publishing Co., 241
Broadway, City:
The reason for this is well expressed in the letter which Mr. Mumm, president
of the football association, and Mr. Humphrey, president of the base ball association at Princeton, have sent to us, viz "That they place our entire orders with us for the year '94, because they believed that we could furnish the best uniforms and team supplies of any item in the United States."
Of course, it is well known to you that Yale appointed us their official outfitters over a year ago, and that we have supplied not only these colleges but all the leading colleges throughout the United States for some time past with their uniforms and team supplies.
We think however, that this action and this agreement signed by these three great Universities is, to say the least, significant.
In regard to the Yale Gymnastics, by the way, which we fitted up over a year ago, Dr. Anderson, the professor in charge, writes us that the apparatus, after one year of the hardest kind of usage, is in better condition than the day we put it in.
These are simple facts, and we think you as our sole advertising agents should be acquainted with same.

In the debate between the North western University of Chicago and Ann Arbor, three parties speaking for each institution, the two highest awards were given to formerly of Kansas boys. J. H. Mayo a former student of the Kansas State Normal had the most points and Herb Hadley late of the Kansas State university second. You can always count on Kansas boys coming to the front.

ATHLETICS.
There seems to be some misunderstanding in regard to membership in the new Athletic Association, At present, according to the by-laws, Art. 1X, Sec. 3, any graduate, or matriculate in a class which is graduated from any school of the University of Kansas, is eligible to graduate membership. Any under-graduate or matriculate in a class which has not graduated from the University of Kansas is eligible to under-graduate membership." Until the 1st of October, 1894, every student of the University will be a member of the Association. After October 1st, only those who pay the dues, as required by Art. X, Sec. I of the By-laws, will be entitled to the privileges of membership. The election of officers for next year will be held on October 2nd, and only those will be entitled to vote who have paid their dues on or before October 1st.
The advisory committee, consisting of Professors Blackmar, Sterling, Adams, Canfield and Green, as announced in last week's STUDENT'S JOURNAL, was chosen by the Faculty, and not by the Board of Directors of the Athletic Association.
The University of Pennsylvania succeeded in defeating the Philadelphia League team by a score of 12 to 8.

The University of Missouri has apparently lost all its interest in athletics and will not attempt to do much in the base ball line this season.
The visitors attending the meeting of the Kansas Teacher's Association last week were very much interested in the young ladies' physical culture drill in Snow Hall.
It is probable that some tennis courts will be fitted up west of Snow Hall. Prof. Newson is making efforts to have something done in this direction.
Mr. Kelsey is in receipt of a letter from Mr. Gear stating that he will positively be unable to return to the University this year.
Mr. Matteson suggests that a base ball game be played on McCook field between the Fraternity and non-Fraternity students. The suggestion is a good one and should be followed up by the Athletic Association. The game would be a drawing card and would net the Association quite a neat sum.
The following is proposed as the senior base ball team: Howell, catcher; Topping and Buchan, pitchers; Hill, first base; Harvey, second base; Rothrock, short-stop; Piatt, third base, and Corbin. Kutz and Douglas, fielders.
For the first time in the history of K. S. U, the Faculty has failed to accept the challenge of the Seniors for a game of base ball. Instead of hastening to take advantage of an opportunity to meet defeat at the hands of the valiant Seniors they have avoided the issue by a challenge to any clan in the University. An explanation is due. While we regret to mls's customary fun we wish to congratulate the Class of '94 as being the first class that the Faculty has failed to meet in the time honored Senior-Faculty base ball game.
The Interstate Field Day contest is still a thing of uncertainty. It is probable, however, that a contest will be held at Kansas City between the University of Kansas and the University of Nebraska. Mr. Moody was chosen as a delegate by the athletic board to make all arrangements as soon as possible.
The advisory committee of the Faculty has held one session already and with diastrophous results. It has been decided for some unknown reason that the dates arranged by the manager of the base ball team with visiting teams, must be canceled. This will prevent the game with the Kansas City team from being played and may affect others. Coming as it does at a very unfortunate time, this ecclusion will probably end the base ball season. With no games to play except with professional teams, unless Nebraska or Missouri should get teams in the field soon, there can be nothing at all to encourage base ball practice. If the new athletic association is to be successful in its efforts to promote athletic interests in the University it must have tee co-operation and not the hindrance of the Faculty. It is to be regretted that the University authorities show a tendency toward taking a step backward with such splendid prospects in view. Are we to meet the fate of Baker?
The program will be as follows, the wrestling and boxing contests to be held at the opera house:
Mr. Moody and Mr. Matteson conferred with the Kansas City Athletic Association last Saturday and made an agreement with them in reference to the proposed inter-collegiate field day on May 30th. Nebraska has not yet been heard from but will probably accept the conditions.

That the spring tour of the Glee Club has been a great success, is evidenced by the papers sention which it has received by the papers published in the town where the entertainments have been given.

Emporia Daily Republican; The University Glee and Banja Club was greeted by a large and enthusiastic audience at the First Methodist church last night. The entertainment was a splendid talent in every way, talented students in the aggregation, Messrs. Sears and Higgins, and both were recalled until they were worn out. The performance jetted 850.
The Wichita Eagle:-Better, than last year is the opinion of those who heard the Kansas University boys last night at the young men's building. The majority of the numbers on the program were enced. Two choruses deserve especial mention, "Snow Exterminator" and "Ole King Cole." The club has a good bass.
The Arkansas City Traveler. The concert at the congregation church by the "Kansas State-University Glee and Banjo Club" was a brilliant affair. Everyone in the audience was delighted. The performances were enclosed in every number, and they were happy in their responses. And now it may be said that our State University has a strong hold upon our city, and perchance our city has a tender grip upon the University.
Emporia Daily Gazettee:-The large audience that greeted them was most encouraging to the club, and they rewarded the people of our city with a delightful concert, which greatly surpassed the performances of the club last year.
The Newton Republican:- The singing of the Glee club was especially entertaining, and the students were recalled after nearly every selection rendered. The comical selections were exceedingly well rendered, and never failed to bring down the house. Mr. Farrell, the famous violinist, won many admirers from the start, and was compelled to respond to every selection given. His playing upon the violin has only been equaled here by Remenyi, O. L. McCall's bass solo was well rendered and fully deserved the applause given it.

ENLARGEMENT
We have decided to enlarge the STUDENT'S JOURNAL, and it will hereafter be of the same size as the present issue. Owing to circumstances connected with this change of form, we are compelled to print the paper in large type this week, but hereafter the regular STUDENT's JOURNAL type will be used.
The "College Life" is "again" the State Normal and seems willing to do anything to throw it out of the state Association. As a consequence, Bro. Carle is fighting hard for K. U. to have the second place.—Baker Beacon.
The enjoyment of a very entertaining illustrated lecture given last Friday afternoon in Snow Hall, was seriously marred because the magic lantern gave a poor light. Recently we have noticed this trouble at University lectures several times.
It is becoming apparent that the Faculty advisory committee with which the Athletic Association committees are expected to "consult," is not as powerless as might be thought from the wording of the by-laws of the Association. The advisory committee makes recommendations to the University council, and that body issues positive commands and prohibitions.
It will soon be May Day, when it has of late years been the custom of the students to put up a flag pole, and then tear each other's clothes off in the struggles of the different classmen to keep the pole up or pull it down. The STUDENT'S JOURNAL would advise the Freshmen—who are probably unacquainted with this delightful custom—if they must celebrate May Day, to help Prof. Newson level off the tennis court he intends to make, or work out the Seniors' road tax, or if it must be something utterly useless, to go off where they won't be in anybody's way and nobody will see them, and dig a big hole in the ground. Almost any way of celebrating the day would be more sensible and require much less hard work than the one in vogue.
STATE AND CHURCH SCHOOLS.
We understand that recently at a Methodist Conference it was asserted that the State University has no place in the educational system of Kansas, and should be abolished. The speaker who made this assertion did not defend the Roman Catholics in their endeavors to have church schools take the place of the common schools, but claimed that institutions for higher education should be under the control of the different religious denomidations. We have been unable to learn what arguments he used in the attempt to defend his position. The claim most relied upon by opposers of the system of state universities in attempting to show the superiority of denominational schools, is that there are better moral influences at the latter institutions; but a plan has merely been proposed, and that too by Methodists, which will make it impossible to urge even this unproved claim as an excuse for the existence of church schools. The Methodists of Oklahoma Territory, instead of founding a denominational school' have decided to erect a Methodist dormitory at the University of Oklahoma, in order that their sons and daughters may get all the benefit of the superior religious influences which it is claimed are exerted at a denominational school, and
at the same time avail themselves of the superior equipment that institutions supported by the state must almost invariably have over those supported by the various churches. By thus uniting to support one institution of higher instruction, the people of Oklahoma will be able much more rapidly to build up a high-grade institution.
According to the theory of the speaker at the conference who favored the denominational schools, we suppose there should be in Kansas at least one school for each denomination, giving instruction to a handful of scholars. The instruction in these schools would necessarily be very inferior, since the amount of money that could be given for educational purposes by the people of the state would have to be divided into many small portions, and much of the money would be wasted in erecting a larger number of buildings and purchasing a larger amount of the same kinds of apparatus, than would be necessary were all the students at one school. By applying the same amount of money to one institution, through the economy that could be here practiced, a much higher grade of instruction could be given to the same number of students. Common sense would therefore favor a state university; as against a number of denominational schools; and now by the proposed system of church dormitories, what is claimed to be the vital difference between state and church schools—the difference in moral influences that furnishes the excuse for the existence of denominational schools—may be done away with. Far from expecting to see state universities abolished, we expect to see them adopting the dormitory plan and enjoying the advantages to be derived from it, hold more easily than ever, their places in the first rank of the educational institutions of the country.
OUR ORATORICAL ASSOCIATION
A Reply to the Baker Beacon.
As the "Baker Beacon" made some charges against our oratorical association injits last issue, we have obtained the following reply from Mr. J. L. Harrington. Mr. Harrington has had entire charge of matters connected with the state oratorical contest, and can, therefore, speak with authority on the subject:
"Just what advantage the "Baker Beacon" expects to gain for itself or the institution it represents by the course it is pursuing is not at all clear. In its issue of April 3rd, it again degrades itself to the level of a slanderous political sheet by making an unprovoked and libelous attack upon the University of Kansas. In the editorial in question, the statement is made that the Beacon does not attempt to spread unfounded reports; yet it is hard to believe that many of the statements made have even rumor to substantiate them. The University of Kansas has never directly or indirectly charged Mr. Wetzel with plagiarism. Our Local Oratorical Association has taken no action whatever regarding Mr. Wetzel's position, but sent its representative to attempt to obtain a request from Washburn, College of Emporia, and Ottawa University for a meeting of the State Oratorical Association for the purpose of deciding whether Mr. L. B. Sears or Mr. Courtney is entitled to second place. Not only was there no attempt to question Mr. Wetzel's position, but our representative specifically stated to the colleges mentioned that such action was not contemplated by the University of Kansas.
Again the statement that the papers published at the University of Kansas are preferring charges of plagiarism against Mr. Wetzel is false, as a glance at their file will show; the statement that the papers from the other colleges of the state have declared the charge ill-founded and have ceased to consider the matter will be proven false by a glance at the "College Life."
It is also absolutely false that letters have been written and copies of the "Capital" sent to colleges in other states for the purpose of prejudicing the Inter-State Association against Mr. Wetzel. The only letters written to other states asked for precedent regarding the methods of making up the ranks, and asked for nothing else. Again we hope that only ignorance causes the Beacon's statement that all precedent favors methods contrary to those claimed to be correct by the University of Kansas and the College of Emporia. The Iowa State Association constitution provides that "in case of a tie in grades the orations tied shall be given the same rank, and lower orations shall be given the same rank they should have received had there been no tie." Precedent in Indiana and Ohio is in accord with this method, which Kansis University believes to be correct.
But the indifference to justice and the self interest of the colleges in the State Association have made it impossible to obtain a called meeting of that body and the University has ceased to attempt to obtain what is her due. Thus the most of the statements made in the Beacon's attack lack even the semblance of truth, but the editor of the Beacon takes great credit to himself for refraining from publishing a great many more falsehoods, which he hints would be forthcoming if he chose. The most charitable view it is possible to take of the Beacon's attack is that it was caused by a desire for sensational news and a slight regard for truth on the part of the editor. It is sincerely hoped the Beacon will soon discover that its true function is not to make wanton attacks on a neighboring University.
A CONCERT TOUR.
Miss Edith E. Hayes and Miss E. Geneve Lichtenwalter started Tuesday on a short concert tour to points in northeastern Kansas. Both have been students of the School of Music. Miss Lichtenwalter is at present doing postgraduate work in piano and pipe organ, and is regarded as one of the most talented pianists in the School of Music. She has been a pupil of Herbert Oldham, F. S. Sc., London, and Ovide V. Barbour, Leipsic. Miss Hayes' musical education was commenced at a very early age, and at ten years old she was heard in concert. Later she was placed under the tutorship of various eastern instructors among whom were C. E. Davis, of Boston, Max Diesa, late of Vienna National Conservatory and W. H. Pontius, of Mansfield, Ohio. Prof. Pontius is a musical director of oratorios and festivals, having directed for such soloists as Mile. Clementina De Vere, Mille. Clara Poole and Mune. Genevara E.. Johnston-Bishop. Both ladies are prominent in musical circles in Lawrence. They will visit Chapman, Enterprise, Junction City and other points, and will probably appear in Lawrence on their return.
Prof. A. W. Small, professor of sociology in Chicago University, gave a very interesting talk last Saturday morning to the students in the department of History and Sociology. His subject was "Sociology." After the conclusion of his remarks on that subject, he gave a very interesting account of the establishment and work of the Civic Federation in Chicago. A noteworthy fact that he mentioned as one of the results already attained by this very important federation, was, that every candidate for the city council in the election held there last week, whose election was opposed by the Civic Federation, was defeated.

6 Recipe of Pie.
Matilda Maria was on her knees scrubbing the kitchen floor. Matilda Maria was not the hired girl. She was the daughter of a thrifty New England farmer. In New England farming districts hired girls are unheard-of luxuries. So Matilda worked on and thought it the most natural thing in the world that she should do so.
She was almost through when a shadow fell across the sunlit floor, and looking up she saw a tramp standing at the open door. Now the genus trump had recently been guilty of a good many deprepations in that neighborhood, and Matilda thought with quick terror of the family silver, arrayed upon the dining room table waiting for its turn to be rubbed when she should have finished the floor. The tramp, meanwhile, leaned up against the door casing and said: "Shure, an' its hard work yez is doin,' miss; it goes to me heart to see a party craythure like yeself down on the flurie a slavin' her life out."
Much business that is of yours, thought Matilda, but being a person of considerable nerve she went on with her work apparently unconcerned as to the further action of her unwelcome caller. He, on his part, shifted his gaze to an open pantry door. Within the pantry could be seen some cold meat and a lemon pie. Matilda observed his gaze.
"There!" she thought. "I have been wanting someone to try that pie on." Aloud she said; "Have you come very far this morning?" "Eight mile," answered the tramp." "You must be tired and hungry," said Matilda. "let me give you a piece of pie, and you can sit down and eat it. I carried all the chairs out of the room before I began scrubbing, but there is a bench on the porch that you can sit on." The tramp, acquiescing, seated himself, and she brought him the pie. Retreating into the house she shut and locked the door. Then she did the same to the other doors and the windows, and drew a long breath of relief.
The tramp ate the pie and then sat for a long time buried in thought. He dates his reformation from the cating of that pie. The thought that if he continued to be a trump he might be called upon to eat other pies like that one was too much for him.
For the benefit of such of my readers as may wish to reform tramps I give the recipe for Matilda Maria's lemon pie: "Lemon pie — Linue a pie plate with puff paste, (see page 5,275), put in your lemons, build a lattice work over the top, and bake three weeks."

INDEPE IDENT BANQUET.
Last Friday evening the second annual indecent reception and dance was given in the parlor of the Eldridge House and F. A. A. hall. At nine o'clock Mr. Martindale, of Emporia, and Miss Kelley, of Burlington, led the dancers through the delightful strains of the grand march. Dancing was the order of the hour till eleven o'clock, when the doors of the Eldridge House dining room were thrown open, and those assembled marched to the banquet awaiting them. After partaking of a delightful repast spread before them, several enjoyable after dinner speeches were made. Mr. Chas. Lease acting as toast-master, made a few remarks and called upon Mr. Will Raymond for a few words as one of "Our Alumni." Mr. Raymond responded in a neat speech in which he expressed his joy at the advancement of the "Barbs." Mr. Troxel, as one of the Fraternity guests, was called upon to toast the Barbs. Mr. Troxel in his customary pleasing style made a few impromptu remarks in which he showed himself to be a very broad-minded young man, and incidentally somewhat of a humorist. His speech was much enjoyed by all. He was responded to by Mr. Simpson, commonly known as "Our Jerry." And simply to say it was Jerry is sufficient guarantee that his remarks were interesting and eloquent. Mr. Hill then gave a very appropriate toast to "The Barb Girls" he was called upon to toast "Our Barb Girls" but in a very neat speech he explained that his position compelled him to adopt the former term. Miss Elie Loader responded to this toast. Her usual pleasing manner was at its best and in a witty and eloquent speech she defined the position and told of the sentiment of the "fair barbarians."
This concluded the toasts and the merry party made their way to the hall floor and danced the swiftly passing hours away till the last sweet strain of "Home, Sweet Home" told that the second annual independent ball was henceforth but a pleasant memory.

MRS. WARD'S NEW NOVEL
"It is necessary to judge a writer by her "best." *Marcella* is probably as fine a novel, within its limitations, as Mrs. Ward could make it. Its aim is high and it accomplishes its aim. In following the character who dominates the story, Mr. Ward uses a kind of device and episodes which show abundantly the author's insight and her dramatic power. There is humor in the story, and there, at very rare intervals, and there is a peculiarly austere and affective touch in those chapters dealing with the murder that occurs at a critical juncture. The effects of meto-drama are refreshingly absent here. Mrs. Ward is wholly self possessed, wholly sincere, ane the realism of her book is poignant to a degree."

SOME OF THE DISADVANTAGES OF BEING SMALL.
BY A SHORTFELLOW
I have just finished reading an article in the "Review" entitled; "Some of the Disadvantages of Being Tall," in which a young lady tries to prove that tall people are the most ill-starred of all the race. The purpose of my article is to console the author and prove to her that she is not the only person whose life is being made a burden on account of stature. Being only five feet tall and of the male sex, I am prepared to say authoritatively that short young men experience as many disadvantages as* tall young ladies.
My life has been one continual struggle against an itching desire to whip the fellows who call one "Shorty." No one will ever know the mental agony I have undergone battling against this hankering to be revenged upon these persecutors. It may be said, and to my everlasting honor, that I have always conquered this desire.
Many of my friends—at least they are my friends in other matters—address me by this or some like nickname. This might be endured, but the street urchins become familiar, and notwithstanding my dignity, shout, "Look at that little man!" You have this consolation, then: you are never given nick-names.
When returning home after several months absence, my old acquaintances invariably greet me with: `Hello! M—`, why I don't believe you have grown a bit; I really believe you are growing smaller." This breaks me all up. It is not so much that I am offended by the reference to my size as it is that these greetings get to be so stale. It is like being asked a hundred times a day in July: `Is it hot enough for you?" My friends know that I have not grown any for the last three or four years and yet they seem surprised at my size every time they meet me.
The ladies cause me an incalculable amount of discomfiture. When I am introduced to a company of young ladies some of them are sure to whisper, "Isn't he cute?" Now I never can see wherein lies the cuteness. The tall girls among my old acquaintances take advantage of my size and occasionally chuckle me under the chin. This is on account of my cuteness, of course. I might bear this more resignedly if I could reach high enough to return the compliment.
In regard to school, the young lady does not know what humiliation is. How embarrassing it is for me when I go to the blackboard! I can not reach more than half way up the board, and everybody laughs at me. They would not have laughed at you, but would have wished they could *reach high up*" like you could.
I suppose the question of dress, like a democratic administration, does cause financial embarrassment, in these days when it takes so much of a bolt of cloth for the sleeves of a dress that you have to buy another bolt for the rest of it. Still it costs the small man as much for his clothes as it does the tall lady, for if he wants a fit, he must have everything made to order, but I can't say much on this subject for I know so little about ladies' dresses.
Your lady friends never tumble you around for their amusement. Of course, mine don't tumble me around either, but my gentlemen friends do. Every great big fellow considers himself at liberty to play all sorts of games on me. They do so because I can't defend myself. That this is so is shown by the fact that they never try to tumble
around those who are able to put them to sleep a la Corbett. For this there is no remedy. It is the nature of man; but when man has evolved a little more it is to be hoped that this vestige of the animal will disappear.
A tail person is hardly ever the subject of jest on account of his size; a small person often is. But we get used to it. Those who laugh forget their own faults.
"Why, what means this? Why do you look on me? I see no more in you than in the ordinary of Nature's sale-work."
It is best to take a philosophica view of this matter. We are placed here on earth to do good. One of the best ways of doing good is to make people happy, afford them amusement. If they can find amusement in my size they are welcome to it, and I am fullfilno my mission.
Notwithstanding all these disadvantages there is so much pleasure in life that we small people at least, cannot afford time to brood over the discrepency in our statures. Bemoaning our lot will not better it. If we who are small in stature can find a rose now and then in our path, you tall people should tread a walk through boundless fields of flowers. I pray you, therefore, cease to prate of suicide, and let the earth ring with your shouts of joy and laughter.
JOINT DEBATE.
It would be well for students interested in debate to take more than a passing glance at the editorial in last week's JOURNAL concerning a debate between the Adelphic Literary Society and the University Debating Club. Now is the time for the members of these societies to act on the suggestion
It is generally supposed that because of the lateness in the year it would be almost impossible to arrange an inter-collegiate debate for this term; yet the marked "success" of the Debating Club ought not to languish on this account. Nor should the statement that there is no real live literary society in the University, made by one never visiting the society, hence incompetent to judge of the work done there, deter anyone from the undertaking.
If each society were to choose one orator and two debaters to represent it in a contest to be held during Commencement week, and if each speaker were limited to fifteen minutes, with a closing speech for the affirmative debater of from three to five minutes, we should have a comparatively short program, and perhaps a little enthusiasm. At any rate, such a program would keep alive the interest shown in debates for the last few weeks, and when the test comes next year, our University might possibly be benefited thereby.
The members of the Debating Club will have the first chance to act upon the editorial suggestion. Lot us hear from the Club. If they have anything better to offer, let them bring it to light.
Is not quite sky high, but is just far enough up from the sea to have a bracing climate. New Mexico is meant. And it offers something for the wealth seeker as well as for the health-seeker. Beautiful apples, grapes and other fruits are grown in the lower Rio Grande valley, and in the Maxwell grant there are varied attractions for the general farmer. If you ask Nicholson, of the Santa Fe Route, Topeka, he will mail you a New Mexico folder, which tells most of the story.

DR. BUMSTEAD'S LECTURE
Dr. Bumstead, President of Atlanta University, delivered a lecture on "The Educational Progress of the Negro" last Monday afternoon in University Hall. The lecture was illustrated by very interesting stereoicon views showing the principal streets and business blocks of Atlanta, Georgia; the buildings of Atlanta University, and some of the principal schools of the south in which graduates of the Atlanta University are employed as teachers. President Bumstead said that we should estimate the progress of the negro not from the height to which he has arisen, but from the depth out of which he has come.
Atlanta University takes students from the primary work through the entire college course. It has a normal course in which students are fitted to become the best of teachers, and has sent out a number of teachers who are occupying important positions in the colored schools of the south. An Industrial Department is also attached to the University, in which the colored youth are taught carpentry, printing, etc. This school is surely doing a great work among the colored people of the South, and deserves the hearty sympathy and support of all who desire to see the solving of the negro problem.

The five yard gain has given place to ten yards, and this will practically do away with mass plays. Touch downs and goals will count three points each. The recommendation of the committee will probably be adopted by the colleges of the soil.
The following is a list of the men and the positions they will play in Saturday's game of ball: Kelsey, C; Smith, P; Mitchell, 1 b; Alden, 2 b; H. B. Hogeboom, 3 b; Mattison, S; S; Steinberger, L; Chamberlain, C; Hogeboom, R. As this is the first' game of the season let everyone attend. If we are to have a winning team we must encourage than by attending the games and giving them our hearty support.
SNOW HALL.
The specimens of moths and butterflies in Snow Hall are being re-arranged according to the latest lists. The collection is to be put in new cases.
Our entomological department is having printed a new list of the beetles which it has on hand for exchange. There are over a thousand species on this list.
The department of entomology has acquired an exceedingly important collection of diptera (flies). This collection contains over six thousand specimens, representing about a thousand species, all of which belong to one family, the specimens of which are very difficult to obtain. In this collection are the type forms of one hundred and fifty new genera. This collection was made by C. H. Tylor Townsend, curator of the museum of the Institute of Jamaica, and contains only North American specimens.
At the last meeting of the regents an appropriation was made to send a geological expedition to the bad lands of Nebraska and South Dakota the coming summer. The party will consist of a half dozen men mostly undergraduate students, and will be under the care of Dr. Williston.
Hill and Riggs spent Friday and Saturday at Turner, Kas., collecting geological specimens.
Overton is busy mounting a skleton of the fossil pecycar found in Sherman Co. a few weeks ago. The specimens are important ones and are of great value to science. They show that what had before been regarded as three distinct species are in fact included in one. They are interesting also from the fact that they are more highly specialized than the pecycaries living to-day.
The botany department is performing an interesting experiment. A large pan filled with earth is kept rapidly rotating both night and day by means of a water motor. In this pan seeds are planted. The experiment is to show the effect of the centrifugal force in the direction of the plant's growth. By analogy the effect of gravitation in the direction of the growth of plants may be inferred. A series of such experiments will be performed. At present, corn, beans, etc., are being tested; later, twinning plants and others will be grown in the rotating pans.
The botany department has just completed an experiment to determine the effect of light upon the growth of plants. A lily was grown near a window until the stem was quite bent. Then it was placed on a slowly rotating stand so that it would receive equal amounts of light on all sides. Under these conditions the stem grew directly upward.
Dr. Bunn of this city spent some time last week making scientific investigations in the botanical laboratory.
The Chancellor is having some more lantern slides made with which to illustrate his evolution lectures.
Prof. Lawrence Bruner, the entomologist of the University of Nebraska, has arranged to present to the department of entomology of this University a considerable collection of orthoptera: that is, grasshoppers, crickets, locusts, etc. Mr. Bruner is one of the best authorities on this group of insects, and the specimens classified and named by him are especially valuable.
Since the first of January Prof. Dyche and his assistants have been paying special attention to the collecting of small Kansas mammals. They have been hunting mice instead of moose. Such small mammals have however, just as much scientific interest and value (at least for study) as the larger animals. About 500 skins of small mammals have been "made" the technical term for preparing them) since January first. As many as twenty specimens of one species have already been collected, showing the variations in hair covering due to various causes. About 100 skins of small Texas and California mammals have been acquired by purchase. In addition to preserving the skins, the stomachs of the collected animals are examined to determine the food habits; to discover whether a given species is injurious or beneficial to man. This is a matter of much economic interest.

This paper is on file at the editorial rooms of the University Review, 238 Fifth avenue, New York, where all men are given a hearty welcome.
One of our prominent non-frauntery students has received a letter from representatives of a frauntery that desire to establish a chapter here. Judging from their actions in such cases in the past, we should say that the reception the fraternities already here would give to a new secret society would be very cool, and that of the "Barbs" would of course be even more frigid. The prospects of success of a new frauntery in the University are not very flattering.
One has a better appreciation of the ability of those who, by writing or speaking can arouse their fellow beings to action even in a righteous cause, after he has tried to bring about some reform even in colleges. Despite the agitation of the college papers, the practice of keeping the library closed until a late hour on Saturday morning is still persisted in, but we can assure the librarians that the effort to have the change to an earlier hour made will be persisted in. We call our readers' attention to the communication on this subject which appears in this issue of the paper.
Again, now that the paper is larger, we invite the students and faculty to contribute to it articles on all subjects of interest to readers of a college newspaper. Our columns are open for the expression of opinion on any subject of interest to students provided the article is fair and honest. Or, if you have not an irrepressible desire to write something for the paper, and most of you have not, you may aid the newspaper staff by calling their attention to any news of interest to readers of a college paper that you think may not have come to their notice, or by making criticisms on the paper and suggestions of ways in which it may be improved. This invitation extends to all our readers; and they may be sure that any manifestations of interest will be appreciated.
One of the local papers in an article on the management of the University, makes an indefinite charge of misconduct on the part of students. Such a course is unworthy of any paper, especially a local paper. If the editor of that paper knows of students whose conduct is censurable, and is making his charges for the good of the school, the only consistent thing for him to do is to furnish such definite information to the University disciplinary committee as will enable them to take proper action. By doing this the editor will prove that he is acting in good faith in making these charges, and is not, as one might conclude from reading the article, making general statements which have no foundation, simply to gain the cheap notoriety that comes from the publication of sensational articles.
At the risk of incurring the displeasure of the editor of the Courier who lately scored the Review for quoting from College Life, we make the following quotation from College Life: A writer in that paper has, since the oratorical contest, been endeavoring to decide the question, "What is' Plagiarism?" and has finally come to the conclusion that plagiarism "consists. 1st, in [one's] taking the ideas of another without giving them the stamp of his own individuality; or 2nd, in following the general structure of another composition; or 3rd, in taking the phraseology of another without giving credit therefor."
At the meeting of the Board of Regents it was decided that the law school should be moved to the main building next year. There are a number of other changes in the law school that might be profitably made at the same time. Students who attend the main building have attempted to take studies in the law department in connection with their work in other departments, but have found it almost impossible to do so because of the frequent changes in the recitation hours at North College. Probably now that the law school is to be located in the main building the time schedules of the law school and the main building can be made to conform. The standard of admission to the law school is also thought to be too low. This would be a good opportunity to raise the law school to the standard of other departments of the University. We expect to present an article on this subject in our next issue.
One very desirable thing that will result from the change will be the better acquaintance that the law students will have with the students of other departments, since all will meet in the main building.
According to the statement of the athletic editor of this paper, the students and faculty are until next October members of the athletic association; and we are further informed that before the end or this term, as the present incumbent will probably not attend the University next fall, a president will be elected to serve until the regular October election. If the disposition of these matters is satisfactory, there is probably no need of selling memberships and thus bringing the new constitution wholly into effect this Spring; but it seems to us that in one particular at least the beginning of the new association should have been made with more regularity. It is customary when a new organization takes the place of an old one to close out the business of the old organization and open a new account. It would seem advisable to do this in the present case, especially since the old association has been in existence a number of years and during that whole time, so far as we know, a full, itemized account of receipts and expenditures has never been made. There are two good reasons for desiring such a report at the present time. If the association receives the treasurer's report and adopts it, the accounts of the old association can be closed, and the accounts of the new association kept entirely separate. This is the only business-like way to conduct the affairs of the two organizations. Moreover, there is a very good opportunity at the beginning of the new association to introduce any changes in methods of conducting its business, that, from an examination of the report, may seem advisable. As the report will cover a period of several years it will show pretty conclusively whether any improvement in business methods can be made. It is not too late to call for a treasurer's report; and we suggest that it be printed in the college papers some days before the time set for the meeting which is to adopt it, in order that the association may act upon it intelligently.
African Animals.
Last week a letter was received by Chancellor Snow from W. Harvey Brown, a graduate of the University, and at present an explorer and hunter in Southern Africa in which he offered to donate a complete set of the animals of that country to the University. Mr. Brown is a great hunter and his instinct for natural history has led him to make fine collections of animals. The collection that he will send our University will be the only complete set of African animals in the U. S., with the possible exception of the Smithsonian Institut) collection at Washington, D.C.
OUR STUDY WINDOW.
To ---
Charms more by its unconscious grace.
In a greater sense by his touch.
Only a child, but the sunny face. A sweet, bright flower in this desert bare.
Only a child, but the sunny face.
Than a dear friend's kindly words of cheer
Or the heart's own wish at last ful-
fled.
Its power is that of the songs that are trilled
By the birds in springtime far and near.
Like the song 'tis close to Nature's heart;
An emblem of innocence, faith and trust.
When it smiles for us, life's darker part
drows not, but only the fair and just.
At Death of Day
**sullen red along earth's western edge.**
**chilly greatness' boiling over all.**
Gray branches dim against a grayer sky.
Gray shapes above them, faint in hurtling flight.
sud winds amount, as if a spirit wept.
Fierce sense of longing, and a restless pain.
Sad winds amoan, as if a spirit wept.
Soul blindly groping for an unknown rest;
Heart beating numb, yet with an aching throb.
Body low-bowed, and shaken with its grief—
Silence and rest—earth's mourning
moans allushed.
Day dies in night
Calm branches silvered in the full. pure light
Bright stars atwinkle in untroubled sky.
Nature's tired face pale—beautiful in sleep;
Eyes sadly thankful in a longing trust. Far seeing through blue infinite toward God.
Soul leaning fearless, held by perfect love.
Body low-bowed in wrap, submissive praver—
The day has died in night.
A CONVICIT'S STORY
"Yes sir, I'm here for life. How'd I get here? Well, taint a jong story, and I reckon I'll have time to tell you about it.
Twas out in California, in the days of stage conches and no rail roads. The mines had been runnin' for a good long time, and was gittin' out considerable dust, and most allus sent it by the express companies to the east, where they could get shut of it quicker.
My pal, Bill, and me was in the express business, you might say, that is, we was runmin' again the companies. It was pretty dangerous business holding up coaches in them times, for if they ever got the drop on you, you was a goner sure. We had been stopping considerable many coaches, and bein' pretty lucky, the company was gettin' down on us the worst way. We had to vanoose from several good camps, for we was afraid that they'd locate us, and then it would be all up with us.
My pal was an awful odd feller—one of those cold blooded critters that never gits rattled; it was him that allus pulled us through every tight place we got into. He was a considerable older man than me, and had a wife and three kids in the settlement. He set a heap of store by them kids and the woman.
We stopped a stage one day out in Stump Pass, and made a big haul. We come pretty near getting our hides perforated, but managed to get out of it with all the dust, and safe to camp. This was too much for the express company, and they lowed as how they'd get even, and they did too.
We had been working together for a good many years, and I had got to liking him as if he'd been my own brother.
About a week after this we was lying in camp, makin' plans for our next lay-out. I'll never forget that day. It was terrible hot—so hot that a sort of blue haze spread over the hills, and you could see the air quiverin' with the heat'. We had been lyn' there for a long time,
axim our plans, and scheming some way to beat the company, when we see a couple of goats over on the next hill. I took my gun and started after them, for we was about out of meat. I followed them goats for a terrible long ways, and had chased them around among the hills for over two hours when they got away acr i gorge, and I had to give 'em up. I hated to go back without gitt' any meat, for I know'd that I would guy me for not bein' able ( ) shoot a goat.
I started back at last, but before I got there it was gittin' dusk, and I expected to find Bill have a fire lighted to cook the meat that I was goin' to bring in; but, when I got in sight of our place, I couldn't see no fire. I hollered to Bill as I was comin' through the bushes, but nary a sound. That sort of scared me, for it warnn't like Bill to keep still unless he had to. Then I seed tracks, and I knowd that somebody had been 'round. I crawled up slow to the edge of the camp, and looked over the big log that we build our fires again. The first thing I see was Bill stretched out in the middle of the camp, with his rifle lyn' under him. I knowed he was hurt or dead; and, after the first jolt, so to speak. I run up to him as quick as I could get there. He was still breathin' a little, and groaned when I turned him over. I went to fixin' a bad hole in his neck when he came to, and said in a husky voice:
"It's not use, Jim. I'm done for.
You'd better skip."
His whisper got so low that I had to put my ear to his lips to hear him.
"Take—the swag; and—give— half-to Nance—and the kids— poor little devils."
Then he sunk back, and the tears come to my eyes and I cried like a girl. He lay there breathin' heavy like for a long time, and I made him as easy as I could. After a while he opened his eyes again, and glared around with an awful wild look. He tried to get up several times, but fell back every time. Pretty soon he calmed down, and seein' that he was gittin' to know what was goin' on, I asked him: ·How many was there, Bill?" He tried to speak, but findin' that he couldn't hold up three fingers. Then he made an awful hard try to speak, gave a quick gasp) and died.
Well fir, it seemed as if my heart was broke; fur I'd been with Bill in so many close places, that I felt as though I'd lost the only friend I ever had, and I was right too. I guess. You fellers as has lots of friends everywhere don't know what it is to lose the only fellow that cares a cuss for you. You may feel as I felt some time, but I hope you won't.
I loaded up my old shot gun with the heaviest loads she had ever carried, and set out on the tracks of those men. I follored their trail over the rocks, through the bushes, and up the sides of the hill. Sometimes I would lose it for a time, but alus managed to run across it again. I kept at for over twenty miles, but if it hadn't a been for the bright moon-light, I could never 'ave done it. At last I come to their camp on a ledge of rock 'way up the side of a big hill. I reckon they got up there thinkin' that nobody'd bother 'em before morning, but they was way off in their calculations. I crawled up to the edge of the ledge and looked over. There lay the three men, the sheriff and two others, dead asleep.
I had never killed a man before in all my tough life, but I never pulled back then. I felt more like a devil than a man, for there right in front of me lay the three fellows that had killed Bill, and I had loved Bill as if he had been my own kin.
I set there on a rock lookin' at them men for I reckon half an hour. I seemed to take a devilish pleasure in fixin' up how I'd kill the poor
devils. I know it seems awful to think about it now, but I was crazy. I guess.
I took careful aim at the sheeriff
(I knew the man well), and he hardly
quivered when I shot. Then I
killed the next before he was well
awake. I tried to draw a pistol for
the third one, but he got the drop
on me, and the first thing I realized
when I come to was that the darbies
was on my hands.
The rest of it is hardly worth tellin.' I laid in jail for months, and at last they tried me. The trial warnn't very long, and when the jury come out o' their room there was a look on their faces that I could never misjudge. I was glad when it was all over, and they gave me a life sentence. M. D.
Prof. Carruth's New Book
Henry Holt & Co., of New York, have just published a text-book which deserves special notice by reason of its significance and interest especially to the University. We have reference to Schiller's Wallenstein, complete, edited by Prof. Carruth. In neatness of appearance and in quality of material and mechanical work the book marks a great advance in the make up of modern language text-books, and, it is safe to say, indicates the recognition, by the publishers, of the superior character of its editorial work.
The introduction to the text covering seventy-five pages gives a brief, yet clear, account of the thirty-years war which forms the historical back-ground of the play and of the part that Wallenstein played in the great religious struggle. There is also a critical discussion of the plot and characters of the play, and an accurate account of the history of the play itself. It was the aim of Professor Carruth to include in the introduction all that a student needs to understand the text and no more, and he has succeeded admirably. The notes, comprising about thirty pages, which follow the text are out right to the point; they are neither so short as to disappoint nor so long and technical as to be wearisome. Other features to be noted are a convenient and accurate map of the geography of the drama, five portraits of the leading characters, and a fac-simile of the famous and pretentious Revers. The volume is bound in beautiful flexible cover, and merits all the admiration which it is sure to win. It may justly be called a handsome edition, and is bound to supersede all former editions of the same text.
It was hoped that the edition would be out in time to be used this term, but the class was disappointed. Mr. Engel is now using in his class two different texts, an old one by Kraus and a later English one by Buckheim, but both of them have many and often serious faults. Next year the new edition will be used.

EDITOR JOURNAL:
While the JOURNAL is striking its sledge hammer blows for the inalienable right of Senior classmen to "scrap" about Commencement exercises, and against the malicious and dangerous proposition for the introduction of foreign speakers to compete with our honest and hard-working eloquence upon the graduation rostrum; while the Chancellor is proving man's immediate descent from a primordial germ, and the Registrar is sleeping lose in order to run down the records and fix upon some unfortunate student an incomplete half-term's work necessary for the issuing of a diploma; while Freshmen are laying deep, dark plans for the discomfiture of Sophs and Seniors on May Day and the Junior Laws are recovering from the effects of Arbor Day eider; while these things are going on why may we not take the opportunity of thinking a moment about the appearance of our campus?
Why is so little care given it? Why are there no beds of flowers, no dainty or pleasing bushes and shrubs? Why is the grass not kept down except in one place; namely, alongside the narrow, unsightly walks, where it is worn off into the ground by hurrying students? Why are not the unsightly bald patches sodded over, and the drives laid out and kept neatly?
And why, most of all, why is it permitted the throwing upon the campus of every old box and barrel and bundle of packing that comes to the university? Isn't it enough that no care is taken to improve the appearance of the grounds, to plant them and lay them out with some regard to the necessity of beautiful surroundings for the symmetrical development of the mind? Must we endure this, and also have piled up before us for our aesthetic natures to regale themselves upon every day, great stacks of unplanned boards, old lime barrels, carboys full of straw and "excelsior" packing—all the refuse and dumpings of the University? Nay, worse than this, must we have no change of boards, barrels and carboys, but go on from day to day and week to look looking at the same rubbish? Are we to be denied even a rearrangement of the trash? If we are then is it time—but no, not yet! First let us use peaceful methods, appeal to the Superintendent, to the Cancellor to the Board of Public Works. Then, if the evil be not remedied; then it our appeals be slighted, we will be justified in action for ourselves. And if, in our desperation, we gather to gether all the "brick-a-brace" that now lies scattered here and there, and pile it in one big pile before the main building, let the Superintendent blame himself for the terrible necessity he will be under of "getting a move or himself" and hauling away the rubbish; perhaps, had he occasionally turned a box other side up, or rolled; barrel over, we would not have been goaded to this awful extreme. But if we must have board-piles and box collections about the campus, we must also have some consideration showcasing the cravings of our souls for variety for artistic arrangement to bring out the beautiful, and if consideration is not shown, those who so ignore u may expect that sooner or later the worms will turn and the boxes will be piled. Verbi sat. sap. OXNIOX.
EDITOR JOURNAL:
Your suggestion of last week that the library be opened at eight o'clock Saturday morning is a good one and one that should commend itself to the library authorities. However, as a week has elapsed, and still no action has been taken by them, I shall, at the risk of being thought trite or tiresome, attempt to make a few remarks on this subject. It is an aphorism that great bodies move slowly; and therefore, perhaps, any unseeably haste in responding to the all but universal demand of the students that the library be opened at eight o'clock Saturday mornings should not be expected of the library authorities. Certainly we have as yet seen no manifestation of such indecent haste, and yet, in view of the fact that on Saturday morning many students have classes for which a large amount of library reading is required, cannot the library authorities, even though it require an Herculean effort, throw aside their mastery inactivity, overcome their inertia, and see to it that one of our half-dozen librarians may find time to open the library at eight o'clock? There undoubtedly is some good reason why this has not yet been done; but a plain statement of the cause of such non-action would be welcomed by the students. Will those in authority give the necessary explanation? X.
Prof. Cowan's Reception.
The reception given in honor of Prof. Hector Cowan last Friday (13th inst.) evening in Music Hall by the Young Men's Christian Association of the University proved to be a great success. Many of both professors and students were present, and made the acquaintance of both Professor and Mrs Cowan.
The first hour was spent in social conversation. A musical and literary program was then rendered. The University orchestra gave a selection followed by a piano solo by Miss Daisy Orton, Mr. Lorin Scars gave two euclidean recitations which were received with applause, and he was compelled to respond to an encore. A vocal solo was rendered by Miss Mame Berry in a very charming manner, and then the Glee Club gave a number of selections, responding to numerous encores.
After this program light refreshments were served; the rest of the evening was spent in social conversation. This reception is an event in the Y. M. C. A. history of our University to be remembered, and it is hoped that many more social occasions of the same nature may be arranged.
Glee Club.
At the last meeting of the Glee and Banjo Clubs it was decided to make the organization permanent, and a committee was appointed to draft a suitable constitution. The next meeting will act upon the report of this committee, and probably elect officers, and a business manager for the coming year. A small sum will be left in the treasury for the purchase of music and defraying of such other expenses as will be incurred in the beginning of next year's practice.
This movement on the part of the clubs is very commendable, and will undoubtedly insure greater success in seasons to come. The business manager, in particular, will have the advantage of four or five months more time in which to work up a tour. Until now, the end of each trip has been the disbanding of the clubs; but by this new arrangement the interest which has always died with the club will now be kept alive.
David's Progress.
For the benefit of those who wish to speculate concerning the future of the "Smoky Pilgrim," it would be well to bring his history up to date.
A short time ago a very small and very dirty boy appeared at a farm house a few miles north of Lawrence and asked if he might come in.
The farmer and his wife looked the boy over. He was ragged and dirty, but that might be remedied, and he was such a modest and demure looking little fellow. He spoke with a lisp, and his name was David. The farmer's wife at last concluded that it would do no harm to keep him for a while, for she had no children of her own, and if he turned out well she would be glad to adopt him.
David took his good luck very unconcernedly as though it were a matter of course; more unconcernedly, in fact, than he did the thorough scrubbing which he was given immediately. He looked somewhat surprised when he was put into decent clothes, but he said nothing. For several days he seemed quite contented, and the farmer and his wife were well satisfied with him, for he had as yet given no evidence of his moral deprivacy
Or the fourth day David was left alone on the farm for a short time, and the young reprobate knew that his chance had come. He went to the pasture, turned out the two cows, and tried to drive them toward town; but this was a new business for him and the cows were unruly. They persisted in going the wrong direction and David gave up the task and went back to the house. There the only thing that struck his eye was a new bridle hanging on the porch. He took this to the house of the nearest neighbor and tried to sell it. The neighbor however was suspicious and kept both boy and bridle until the farmer came home. The cows were found wandering down the road, and David was asked why he turned them out.
"I wish goin' to thel 'em," he very modestly answered.
The next day David was taken back to town, and upon inquiry it was found that he had "folks" by the score and a reputation which made him very undesirable for an adopted son.
. Remember the spring contest.
Apr. 27th.
The meeting of the Board of Regents last week resulted in a number of very important changes in the different departments of the University.
The Meeting of the Board of Regents
E. D. Adams was made Associate Professor of History, and his salary was raised to $1200 per year. Prof. Blackmar will now teach only Political Economy and Sociology, while Prof. Adams will instruct in all European and Ancient History, History of Civilization Institutions, and Reformation and Resistance, which were formerly taught by Prof. Blackmar.
Prof. Engel was made Registrar next year instead of Prof. Templin. The position of Assistant in Law, now held by Prof. Brownell, was abolished, and Brownell's salary will be used to hire lecturers. The Law School will be moved to the main building and will occupy the rooms now used by the Library.
Miss Gallio was made instructor in Spanish for next year, in addition to being assistant in French, and her salary was raised to $1000 per year.
A. 8. Olin was appointed Assistant Professor in Pedagogy.
The School of Music and Painting was changed to the School of Fine Arts. The Music Department was given the right to have an assistant to Prof. Preyer in the piano. Prof. Farrell was made assistant to Prof. Penny in voice culture. Two terms work in the School of Music will be allowed to junior and seniors of the school of arts. The degree of Bachelor of Painting will be conferred upon graduates of the School of Painting. The law school building will probably be used by the School of Fine Arts.
The position of Auditor, formerly held by Regent Mitchell, was abolished and an auditing committee formed, composed of Regents Mitchell, Robinson and Sams.
M. L. McCreight, E. I. Waitick and A. E. Gould, who have finished their necessary practice in the drug store, were granted the degree of Ph. G.
George Lowman Dick.
George L. Dick, who graduated at the University in 1889, died last Monday morning at his parents' home in this city.
George Dick while in our University was known as a thorough, hard-working student. He made many warm friends during the time he was here, and gained an enviable reputation. He was of a cheerful disposition, and always carried sunshine with him wherever he went.
When George was a mere boy while yet in the common country school, it was his earnest purpose and the one great ambition of his life to become a minister of Christ's Gospel. Therefore, shortly after finishing his University course, he entered the United Presbyterian Seminary located at Allegheny City, Pa. Here, Mr. Dick spent three years in hard study, encountering many difficulties, but overcoming them all; he had just received his degree, and had returned home to visit his friends and parents, when he was thus called away in the beginning of a life which gave promise of great Christian usefulness.
Several times during his summer vacations, Mr. Dick has occupied pulps here in the city, and all his hearers were impressed with his eloquence, his great earnestness and his burning zeal.
Mr. Dick had received a call from the United Presbyterian church of Colorado City, and believing that the climate there would be beneficial to his health, had accepted it, and intended to start Monday for Colorado
All the students of the University who were acquainted with George Dick unite in sympathizing with his sorrowing family in the loss of so noble and promising a son and brother.

Arbor Day was celebrated by the Rush Club with appropriate and impressive ceremonies. After much mental effort, and in order that the remembrance of its action might go down to future ages, the club decided to observe the day by planting a mountain ash. With our solemnity, the tree was planted in front of the club house by the Board of Pie Adjusters. This ceremony performed, Mr. Surtermelster, in a thoughtful and scholarly speech, commended the tree to the protection of the elements. Messrs. Colemur and Hogin bade the club an affectionate adieu. After referring to the departure of the above mentioned members, Mr. Mustard, in a short address, spoke of this as a new proof of the correctness of Chancellor Snow's theory of evolution. Then the members of the club silently filed up to the newly planted tree and watered it with their tears.

No. 4, Vol. 2 of the "Kansas University Quarterly," just issued, contains over 100 pages, and has the following contents: The Control of the Purse in the U.S. Government, by E. D. Adams, a careful study of the source of the restriction to the House of Representatives of the right to originate appropriation bills, and of the way in which our present system fails to secure effective responsibility in the representatives. The Character and Opinions of Wm. Langland, by E. M. Hopkins, an attempt to construct a biography of this old English author from an examination of his famous work, "Piers Plowman;" and a brief article by S.W. Williston on a "formerly of Kansas" pachyderm, an extinct rhinoceros which has been re-constructed in the museum of the University, the article accompanied by a photograph of the skeleton.
This number completes the second volume of the Quarterly, and fully equals if not surpasses the excellence of preceding numbers.

The sales have been very large but the completeness of the stock has not been marred.

About a year ago a correspondent in the STUDENT'S JOURNAL called attention to the rattling of the windows in the chapel. He stated that it was a great annoyance, and inasmuch as it would be remedied for a trifling outlay, there was no reason why the nuisance should not be abated.
Rattling Windows.
His statements are as true now as then, and the more frequent use to which the chapel is now put makes the change more imperative. The Monday and Tuesday evening lectures are attended by hundreds of people—students and citizens—and the time for the spring oratory contest is close at hand. The Superintendent of Buildings or the Ortonical Association, by stopping the rattling of the windows, would earn the gratitude of the entire student body and of many of our friends, the citizens.

THE FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON.
The McCooks Win in the Ninth Inning-
Details of the Game.
A small crowd saw the McCooks of Fort Leavenworth defeated by K. U. in a closely fought game last Saturday. The game was called promptly at 3 o'clock at McCook field with Mr. Maxwell, of Illinois University, as umpire.
The teams were both in pretty good shape and played as follows:
McCloosh R. C.
Fieldcamp C Kelsey
Hunter 2nd B Alden
Sickles C Field Chamberlain
Booth P Wagner
Crow 3rd Base Hogeboom
Lacy SS Matteson
Brown 1st Base Mitchell
Dyer L Field Hogeboom
Conley R Field Steinberger
The scoring commenced early in the game, and when the first innning was over K. U. had four rumb to her credit and the McCooks two
In the second inning K. U. got a man on second base but failed to score, and the McCooks started in to play ball. Brown led with a two-base hit and Dyer reached first through a glaring error of Mitchell's. A wild throw to second let's Brown in and Fieldcamp takes a base on four balls and things begin to look lively, but Hunter knocks a foul and is run out. Sieckles knocks a high fly to center field and the side is retired.
The third inning was short. Mitchell made first on an error by Brown, Hogeboom advances him to second by a sacrifice hit, but Wagner and Alden fail to reach first base and no score is made.
The game throughout was close and interesting, the score being 5 to 6 in favor of the McCooks.

The result of the force of gravity upon the direction of the growth of plants is being tested in the Botanical Laboratory by a direct experiment. A lily is placed top downwards under the influence of a side-light only. It is slowly rotated so as to receive an equal amount of light on all sides.

Miss Wellman is making some charts showing the anatomy and illustrating the life history of insects.
Tucker is busy duplicating lautern slides for the German department of the University of Nebraska.
The experiment performed last week by the botany department shewing the effect of a centifugal force upon the direction of the growth of plants was a decided success. The stems, instead of growing upward, leaned greatly toward the center of the rotating pan while the roots grew outward instead of downward.
The entomology department has received from New York in exchange a collection of some forty specimens of posse of moths. In this collection are several hybrid specimens—crosses between two different species. They are already beginning to hatch and the moths are being comfortably nurtured. Most of them are of very large varieties measuring as much as five inches between the tips of the wings.
An experiment is now being performed by the Botany department to measure the force with which the roots of plants drive the sap upward through the stem. A U tube containing mercury has one end attached to the growing stem which is cut off above the ground. The height to which the mercury is forced in the other arm of the tube indicates the amount of force with which the sap is driven upwards into the tube. The test will be made upon plants of different habits—tall growing trees and low bushes; quick growers and slow growets.

Monday Holidays.
The recent change from all day Saturday holidays to two half holidays a week (Wednesday and Saturday afternoons) while on the whole a change for the better, is not entirely satisfactory. Probably no plan could be devised that would suit everybody, but it is the opinion of many that Monday holidays would be the best.
Only a few students are affected by the Wednesday half-holidays; a large majority still have the Saturday holiday as formerly. Under this system the majority of students do not study much between Friday and Monday. Tired of books, they seek rest and recreation, while study is post-poned, first to Saturday morning, then to the afternoon, and again to evening. Saturday evening, however, is not a good time for study, and many again postpone the day of labor until to-morrow. On Sunday the same process of post-ponement is gone through with, and finally the last hope is put in early rising on Monday morning.
Probably four-fifths of all the students study more or less on Sundays, yet the instructors agree that Monday's lessons are the poorest of the whole week. The truth is, students do not study much on holidays; or if they do, they do not learn much. To make matters worse, the students do not enjoy themselves; the consciousness of work undone spoils all their pleasure.
If the Monday holiday were established, students would rest on Saturday evening and on Sunday, and by Monday morning they will again be ready for work. Tuesday's recitations would be as good as those of any other day, and Sunday would not be spoiled by the contemplated performance of work that is felt should have been done the day before.

This week's Courier speaks of the new Fraternity, Kappa Alpha Theta. It mentions the name of Prof. Dains and Fred King as among the old members of the Frat now in school. It further states that it is a Sophomore frat and that members of the other gentlemen frat are eligible to membership. The local editor of the Courier evidently has Kappa Alpha Theta on the brain. Perhaps, his best girl—but we are surmising.

THE decided increase of interest shown in the Spring Oratorical Contest this year by the entrance of six contestants—all that are allowed to enter—insures a successful contest; in fact, but one thing more is necessary to make a complete success—a good audience. The contest is held this evening.
THE annual average cost for each student in the larger universities of America, without taking into account at all the equipment of the school, or any money expended by student in tuition, living, or other expenses, is three hundred sixty-seven dollars. Does the average student ever stop to consider whether he is so directing his efforts as to get an education worth that amount to him?

THE S. U. I. Quill publishes the following newspaper clipping which is, as it says, "quite suggestive."
CHARLOTTESVILLE Vn., March 31.—A member of the medical class of the University of Virginia was, it is alleged detected in cheating on the practice of medicine examination. The class paused in its labors on examination papers, held a meeting, heard statements against the accused and offered him an opportunity to defend himself, which he did not accept. Resolutions were then passed requesting him to leave the University, and giving him 24 hours in which to do so. The class then resumed its work on the examination which had been interrupted.
The accused man withdrew from the University, first having returned all diplomas that had been awarded him in the past. He however persistently refused to leave the city, denying the right of any one to interfere with him. The students have used every argument to induce him to go away and avoid trouble, as they do not want him to incur any risk. They escorted him to a west-bound train and he boarded it.
In objecting to our advice that the May day exercises as now conducted, be discontinued, the Courier proceeds to discuss university enthusiasm implying that we are not in favor of it. We believe in university enthusiasm just as much as the editor of the Courier, but we do not consider that university enthusiasm should be held responsible for senseless exhibitions like the present May Day performance, which has lost even the merit of novelty—the only merit if ever had. Is not this lack of university enthusiasm shown most clearly by the way in which the same foolish custom is adhered to year after year, no attempt being made to improve upon it? The Senior class of '93 introduced a very entertaining ceremony in the erection of the totem pole last years. Why cannot the classes that would
The faculty advisory committee by the hasty withdrawal of the recommendation that all games with professional clubs be forbidden, and the substitution therefor of the recommendation that games with professional teams should be played only on the home grounds showed, we think it may be fairly claimed, that they had not fully considered the matter in all its aspects. It seems to us that if there is to be a Faculty advisory committee whose recommendations to the University council are accepted by that body and given by it the form of positive rules, there should also be a students' advisory committee to present to the University council the students' side of the questions upon which the Faculty advisory committee presents its views. There has been considerable dissatisfaction shown by the students on one or two occasions during the past year because there is no way by which the students may express directly to the Faculty their opinions on subjects which concern them, and obtain from the Faculty a reply. Petitions by the dozen are usually sent in during the year by students and even the receipt of most of them is unacknowledged. Speaking on the subject of the "Right of Petition" in chapel some time ago, a member of the Faculty proposed as an improvement on the practice of presenting petitions, the following method of communicating with the Faculty: A certain number of students should be chosen—perhaps one from each class or from a number of groups into which the students should be divided for this purpose—to represent the students whenever they wished as a body to communicate with the faculty. Then whenever an occasion arises that makes it desirable that the student body should express its opinion on any subject, the students may meet in these groups, take action on the subject and instruct the student who is to represent them before the faculty. In this way the students are sure of having their claims more fully and accurately presented than is possible by a petition and they are much more sure of obtaining an answer. We think the plan is worthy of being adopted in its entirety; but at any rate on athletic matters we think there should be a students' committee selected to represent either to the Faculty advisory committee or to the University council, or to both the opinions of the students on subjects concerning which the Faculty advisory committee intends to make recommendations. Naturally the Faculty will not always look upon matters in the same way that the students do; and it seems only just that if the recommendations of the Faculty advisory committee are to be given the force of absolute law, the students before the recommendations are acted upon, should be given an opportunity to present their side of the question, for as the late events show the advisory committee may make mistakes.
ENGLISH AND THE LAW.
To the student of English there is a certain pleasure in the quaintnesses and foibles of expression found in old books, merely as quaintnesses and foibles, and a still greater pleasure in comparing with them the no less picturesque but far more accurate and striking expressions used by the best writers of present day English. For such comparisons are full of kernel to whomever is interested in marking the increase of ease and of exactness in English prose. There can scarcely be a denial of the assertion that the English used by prose writers of to-day is superior to that used by English prose writers of three, two, one hundred years ago. When we open a book of prose of one of these earlier dates, we do so expecting to find ambiguous and obscure expressions, lesions of grammar, abundant bathos, and no end of little personalities of style tending to mar rather than to finish the work. But there is perceptible and continual improvement as to these faults in the productions of each succeeding period, and in prose of to-day page after page may be turned without uncovering such offenses.
The Need of Striuter Requirements as to Preparation in English for Admission to Schools of Law.
found in scientific and technical prose as well as in what may be called literary prose, it will not, unfortunately, be found in so great a degree. There are old scientific treatises, full of obscurities and of other faults of style and arrangement, yet less obscure, less fatiguing to the reader than some similar works of the present—in other words, are written in better English. Indeed, it may be said of not a few technical works, that the professional standing of their author is the only thing that saves them from utter condemnation as puzzles in language too difficult to waste time upon. An alleged excuse is sometimes offered for this absence of good English; namely, that the specialist cannot be expected to be particular about anything except his specialty, and therefore must not be held to account for miserable English; which is no excuse at all, but the avowal of a feeling that promises little for the purity of the mother tongue.
But while this improvement may t
Nowhere are faults such as those spoken of better exemplified than in law books and among lawyers. Those who have attempted to read old English cases, or even works much later than those of Blackstone, will surely recall the great difficulty they had, aside from the heavy matter and legal tone of the writings, in finding sense in or authority for many of the con, constructions used. Yet, if they have also undertaken to read law books written, say within the past thirty years, or decisions reported within the same time, they will be ready to acknowledge that the lawyer's language is to-day often almost as obscure as it was before the art of expression began to be attended to particularly.
Men of the highest learning in the profession of law attempt to write books which shall set forth the results of the investigations their writers have made—books that should be of the utmost value because of the qualifications of the author to speak upon the subjects involved; but the works are mere jumbles of words, often put together so carelessly as to be rendered into meanings entirely different from those intended to be conveyed, or to be capable of no sensible rendering, either with or without the context. And it almost seems that some law writers who have reputation as authorities take advantage of their standing to pitch together a hodge podge of ambiguities every few months, for the sake of getting upon the market as many works as possible, regardless of the lessened value of the books by reason of poor composition.
Moreover, I believe it may truly be said that to the profession is to be charged no small share of the corruption, not only of written but also of spoken English, that is continually going on. The crudities of style, the violence done to grammar, the utter recklessness displayed as to the selection of exact synonyms—the degrading influences which are perhaps little if any weaker than the corrupting influences which a careless press is having. The lawyer is prominent in the community, a mingler with men. He often stands before large audiences and addresses them or in their presence speaks to a jury; or he appears in local print; and his style, made attractive by personal qualities, is taken as a model of speech by the uneducated, and even influences educated people. In this way the evil habits of language that he has acquired from his books and encouraged in himself are spread far and wide through the community, to the continual corruption of good English.
To change these conditions in so far as the influence of law English is responsible for them, and also to cultivate in the lawyer a more efficient because a truer and more exact style of expression, no means should be overlooked by law scholars interested alike in the English tongue and the welfare of their profession. It may be objected to any proposition for reform of these conditions, that law language is a language by itself, in that it has peculiar terns and manner of expression; that the style of spoken discourse naturally is taken by the lawyer as his standard in writing, and he is not to be subjected to criticism for adhering to his standard; and that the freedom of expression necessary to the lawyer's exposition and argument cannot in justice be lessened by the imposition of arbitrary rules. The first objection may be put aside once; it has already been said, that what is subject to criticism is something not due to the weighty substance or tone of the discourse.
The second objection—that spoken discourse is the lawyer's standard of style—raises the question: By what right does the lawyer take oral discourse as his standard for written style? It cannot be denied that he does so. The weak arrangement of
minor points, the lack of unity of composition and the illogical succession of sentences: the misrelated particles, the ambiguities of expression and obscurities in pronominal reference, the ill-considered or unconsidered choice of synonyms, the whole body of rhetorical rules violated by him, now at one point, now at another, now at many or all points, proves that the lawyer carries to his table with him the liberty of the rostrum, and writes as he has spoken. But by what right does he so? Before the court, before the jury, his sentences have been illuminated by gesture of feature and of body, by rise and fall of voice, by emphasis. There has not been time, in the sweep of his words, to mark their inaccuracies, and personal delivery has often prevented his sentences from having the doubleness of meaning, the seeming absence of meaning, that is their most noticeable attribute on the printed page. But he has no reason to believe that his spoken discourses—broken, disconnected, hasty in thought and structure—will be intelligible in type. He has no right to demand of his part of the reading public, the recognition of which is all that enables him to sell a single book—he has no right to demand that they shall struggle with language which, perhaps plain enough when spoken, altogether lacks the necessary means of interpretation when it appears in dead black and white. It would possibly be otherwise if his spoken style were good, but it is not. Same lack of training makes his oral style worse even than his written, and the lawyer that forces it, even though in somewhat improved form, upon his readers, is guilty, not merely of a violation of the principles of composition, but of a robery of the reader's time, a mayhem upon his interest, often a fraud upon his understanding.
The third objection needs little refutation. Rules, it is true, underlie all artful composition; but their whole object and justification is in the ease, the freedom of expression which they secure to the writer. The rules of composition never have deprived and never will deprive an author of the right to be original, unique, picturesque; and he has never had a right to be confused, ambiguous, or senseless, to become a thief of time and a murderer of good English; and there are a good many law writers who deserve speedy literary electrocution for these very offenses.
But the electrocution of the law writers would not do away with the evil. New offenders would be mangling the language before the current had ceased to flow, and there would remain besides these the large majority of careless lawyers, not writers of text books, but none the less influential otherwise upon the speech and literature of the country. It is manifest that something more practical must be resorted to, and that the reform must be expected from the new spirit brought to bear upon prospectwe lawyers rather than upon lawyers already practicing.
"An old dog does not learn new tricks," neither will a man break away from long-fixed habits. So the lawyer of the present who weakens his case by poorly constructed pleadings, and his argument to crudities and absurdities of style, will probably never change, will perhaps ridicule the thought that a change may be needed either to strengthen his presentation of cases or to make his language conform to reputable usage.
The necessary change in methods and education must be made, therefore, in those who will be the lawyers of the future.
But the difficulty still remains, of making the change. How is it to be done? By what means are lawyers to be made careful, discriminating, conscientious, in their use of language? It is a mighty work, the cultivation in an entire profession of such mental habits us as are required for this end. True; but the work is going on, and there is no reason to doubt that, as the importance of pure language comes to be recognized more and more, this cultivation will be extended among lawyers until the charge of using the poorest of English can no longer be nearly sustained against their class.
It may be said that law has done nothing more than follow the spirit of the times, in the development which has as a characteristic this better English. But there has been and still has to be something in each profession through which, as a means, improvement must be brought about. In the profession of law, the schools of law have been largely this means, and to them is accordingly due no small part of the general culture of lawyers, and the improvement in their language, spoken and written. But it is not the work of law schools to give literary training. Literary culture is encouraged by them because it is recognized that literary culture is becoming a necessity to those who would excel in their profession or hold position among educated men. But it is the work of the law schools not TO GIVE PREPARATORY TRAINING, BUT TO OFFER ADVANTAGES FOR STUDY IN THIS PARTICULAR PROFESSION TO SUCH AS ARE ALREADY PREPARED FOR THAT STUDY. It therefore becomes their duty to set a standard to be reached by students before they may enter the schools; and to refuse all applicants whose qualifications are not up to the standard. This they profess to do; to see how important language is held by law educators, one need but look in the catalogs of law schools, where, among the requirements for admission he will almost invariably find, "A knowledge of English." etc.
But unfortunately, this requirement is enforced by only a few schools. And generally the lower the rank of the school, the less the requirement is enforced. In most shorthand schools of the present, although the stenographer's work requires extensive training and especially a good English education, the only requirement for admission is enough money to pay for tuition. So in many schools of law the "student" would almost be registered if only he were able to spell through a paragraph from some law book. Lawyers beginning their profession so poorly qualified may become reliable authorities upon points of law and practice, but the chances are ninety-nine in one hundred that they will not be liberal, cultured men. Still more are the chances against the probability of their becoming users of the perfect language of culture.
The injurious reaction of these literary incompetences upon the profession requires, therefore, that they be allowed no longer to secure the right of practice by attending law schools. Undoubtedly they will continue for a while to gain admission to practice; but that is no excuse for making entrance into the profession easier for them, but the contrary. They will be weights, not wings, in the pursuit of its ideal; and the primary duty of our law schools is, to fit for the bar only men who have both the ability and the education to assist in making the profession what its work and the conditions of society require it shall be—as cultured, as refined, as liberal, as true is any profession in the land.
To admit others than these is wrong. It degrades the profession. It cheats society by helping into places of responsibility—the lawyer's place is always one of responsibility—men but partly qualified to discharge the duties that will devolve upon them. And when the incompetence is in a degree due to insufficient education in the use and science of language, keeping the incompetent also helps in the corruption of pure English. It falls largely upon the law schools to keep the lawyer a leader in the community, a power for the most progressive culture and learning. And they can in part fulfill the obligation by strictly enforcing the new nominal requirement, that every student shall have a knowledge of the principles of English, by raising the standard and increasing the amount of English necessary for entrance, and by establishing such strict requirements if they do not already exist. Such action on the part of law schools would work no real hardship, for if an applicant qualified to study law presented himself, he would have no difficulty in getting admitted—only unqualified applicants would be affected in any way, and for them, for the profession, for literature and the language, and for the community, it is better that such men be refused any encouragement to inflict themselves upon the world as lawyers. To refuse such applicants will not bring about ideal literary conditions among lawyers, or ideal law literatures nor is it supposed that by rejecting them will be brought to pass the numerous law reforms that might be urged; the perfection of the process; or even absolute purity of language among its members.
But it is maintained that there would be, from the rejection of unqualified men, a resultant raising of the standard of culture and education required for the practice of law. The wide influence of the lawyer upon language will be made powerful for its purity, not for its corruption, and since every step that promises improvement should be unb恳stituted taken, the adoption by law schools of stricter requirements as to English preparation for entrance should be demanded by friends of pure speech and by members of the profession of law wherever they may be.

OUR STUDY WINDOW.
A Noble Sacrifice
At last the one great desire of Robert Brown's whole life was to be gratified—he was to enter college.
On a dark, stormy day in September, 18., Robert arrived in the city of Lawrence, where Kansas State University is located. How dreary everything looked! All around everything seemed to be sad; the trees hung down their branches and let fall drbs of rain like great tears.
And yet, though all else was gloomy, Robert Brown was not. He thought neither of the rain nor of the mud. No. His heart was filled with joy; for was he not here at the very goal of his ambition? His imagination passed over the four intervening years, and carried him to the time when he should graduate. He saw himself on commencement day the leader of his class, and the pride and joy of his loved parents and sisters. He saw himself standing before an appreciative and applauding audience, whom he made laugh or weep at pleasure. He glanced even further into the future, and beheld himself an eloquent lawyer having an extensive practice—the support and comfort of his aged parents.
Early in the morning of the opening day of school, Robert walked "up the hill" and climbed the stone steps which led to the classic halls of the college. He was full of life and hope—full of his one great ambition. His heart grew more enthusiastic, his mind more determined, as the thought came to him that he was breathing the same air, that he was treading the same walks, and that he was surrounded by the same objects as those who had made themselves famous. He lifted his heart in thankfulness to God.
In the University building, no one paid him the least attention. Perhaps some daintily dressed coxcomb would give him a curious stare, and then pass on; but no one showed him any courtesy. Even when he stopped some student with a question, he simply received a very short "yes" or "no" for answer. Robert had been accustomed to behaving courteously and being treated so. His heart fell at such studied rudeness.
When he returned to his room that evening, Robert's first act was to step to the glass and survey himself. What could be the matter? Was he so very different from the other students?
He saw an open, frank countenance, with a pair of dark grey eyes, and light brown hair which obstinately refused to stay in place. He looked closer and noticed that the face and neck were not of marble whiteness, but were tanned very dark by constant exposure to the sun; and, yes, his hair was not cut according to the latest style, but was just as a fond mother's hand had left it.
He glanced at his clothes. They were worn and threadbare in places, yet at the same time neat and clean; and he was not ashamed of them even though his strong arms were too long for the sleeves of his coat, and though his shoes and trousers did barely meet. He looked at his hands—large, strong hands; hard and callused by years of toil, and reddened by the hot rays of the sun.
Then his thoughts turned to the elegantly dressed "fellows" he had seen at school, their hair trimmed in the latest "cut," and their small white hands which had never seen labor. He understood, at once, the GREAT DIFFERENCE between himself and those with whom he would be compelled to associate. His teeth came together hard, and a look of quiet determination came into the gray eyes—a look that told more
plainly than words how hard and perseveringly he intended to work and study.
From this time forth Robert left the other students entirely to themselves. He studied cons: [y, and thoroughly mastered everything he undertook. Soon the country boy, who was so awkward, and whose clothes fit him so badly, stood at the head of his classes. He won the respect of his teachers because of his promptness in answering questions. He was gaining courage and growing mentally stronger every day. Bright prospects seemed opening before him and far away in the distance he imagined that he saw the haven of his life's voyage.
It was only the fourth month of school when, on reaching his room one afternoon, Robert found a letter from home awaiting him. Quickly opening it, he read:
MY DEAR SON:
It gives me great pain to tell you that in spite of my best endeavor, I have been unable to meet the regular payments on the mortgage when they have fallen due, and that now I am threatened with foreclosure unless I pay the whole amount immediately. I have not the required sum, nor have I any means of procuring it; so I suppose the old farm and house will have to go. I would not feel so badly were it not for your mother and sisters. Heaven only knows what will become of them. Your father.
W. M. BROWN.
Robert stood bewildered; his head grew dizzy, and he threw himself on a chair. It was terrible to be thus rudely awakened from his dream of happiness. He must think about this matter; his mother and sisters were very dear to him, and they must not be allowed to suffer. Here in his own aoom, alone with God, he fought his hardest battle.
The events of his whole life came up before him: he saw himself once more a small boy of six years, just beginning his studies at the country school; he remembered how year by year, as he became older, the desire to learn, which had been instilled into him while yet a mere baby, had grown firmer and stronger until finally it became a part of his very being. How hard it was, even at that time, for the father to supply the necessities of actual life. Night after night he would return home entirely exhausted by his day's labor; and yet how unfortunate everything seemed to be that his father undertook. He thought of his father's speculations in hogs, cattle and horses, and how, just when these seemed most prosperous, some contagious disease had come among them which destroyed all. And then the money, which they had saved by years of the strictest economy, had all been swept away by the breaking of the bank in which they had deposited it.
Then his thoughts turned to how he, himself, after finishing the country school had resolved to obtain a higher education; and how he had perseveringly combatted every obstacle, working for his board, studying early and late, in order to attend the academy at B——ville. When he had graduated there with honor, the long-cherished desire to attend college had taken absolute control of him. But his family could scarcely support themselves, and how was he to accomplish the desired object? Winter after winter, he had untimely taught a country school, while his summers were spent in unceasing toil on the monotonous farm. At last he had enough money to pay for four years at college—that is, enough if he used it very sparingly.
He thought of the day when he reached Lawrence—rain and mud everywhere. He even recalled the first few days of torment in school —torment because no one understood him or cared for him. And now he had won the hearts of his instructors and the good will of his classmates.
answering the letter?" he asked himself. "What should he do? Was he really selfish in thus trying to gratify his ambition?" He went over to his old-fashioned leather trunk, and drew out a small, faded purse containing all his treasure—the scanty earnings of six years hard work. Slowly he counted the gold pieces—scarcely enough after his car-far is paid. Yes, he will do it; he will give up his very life, and more than life, to keep his dear ones from becoming homeless. It is settled forever. Again, he must go back to that geaseless toil and drudgery, and with no hope, no ambition, no enthusiasm to smooth the rugged paths. A sickly, yet kindly, smile passes over the pale face, and the grey eyes become misty—but only for one moment; he knows he has decided rightly.
Quietly, yet quickly, he packs his soiled leather trunk and torn, shabby valise. As he takes his algebra, geometry, Homer and Livy from the table and places them in his trunk, a sigh—almost a groan—escapes his tightly closed lips. And so he takes the first train westward, and sees, with glistening eyes, the dearly loved buildings of Kansas University fade from sight. A life's ambition is sacrificed.

The Land of the Sky.
Is not quite sky high, but is just far enough up from the sea to have a brazing climate. New Mexico is meant. And it offers something for the wealth-seeker as well as for the health-seeker, Beautiful apples, grapes and other fruits are grown in the lower Rio Grande valley, and in the Maxwell grant there are varied attractions for the general farmer. If you ask Nicholson, of the Santa Fe Route, Topeka, he will mail you a New Mexico folder which tells most of the story.

THE COLLEGE WORLD.
To ye Exchange Editor upon whom ye STUDENT'S JOURNAL calls for the first time;
It is our hope to make our College World a department of particular interest to our readers by giving them the benefit of bits of news, wit and verse which appear in other college publications. We wish to let them know through our columns what is taking place at other universities, especially state universities; and we know that this depends very much upon the number of our exchanges. If you receive our sheet this week we hope you will not fail to put us on your exchange list. We will endeavor to do our part toward bettering the lot of the much abused exchange editor.
- Oxford consists of 22 colleges and has 12,000 students, including graduates and under-graduates.
A student once rapped at the pearly gates.
But he rushed away with a fear-o! When he saw as soon as St. Peter came out
That a halo looks just like a 0.

The Baker team met the Ottawa College nine last week and succeeded in winning a closely fought game by a score of 13 to 5.
The Chicago Athletic Association has completed arrangements for a grand track and field meeting to be held in Chicago on the 2nd of June. The contest will be open to the colleges of the west. The events will include 100, 220, 440, 880 yards and one mile runs: 120 high and 220 yard low hurdle races, one mile walk, running high and broad jumps, pole vault for height, throwing sixteen-pound hammer and putting sixteen-pound shot and one mile bicycle races. These events are the same as those at the Mott Haven games, and it will be possible to compare the records of the two meetings. Many of the principal Western colleges have announced their intention to take part in the meet.
The Kansas City Athletic Club of Kansas City, Mo., was organized last Saturday evening at the Coates House. The constitution and by-laws, which were adopted after a long discussion, limits the membership to 1,000, and fixes the annual dues at $5. Any youth who is 16 years old is eligible to membership.
Rev. F. S. Patton, D. D., L. L. D., president of Princeton College, is visiting in the west end has been interviewed by a St. Louis newspaper man. He thinks a revolution will soon take place in athletic affairs of the eastern Universities, and made the following statement:
"The athletic craze has gone far enough. While the fact that athletes tend to improve the morals of a college when properly conducted is recognized by the faculties of the East Carolina University in the inter-collegiate contests there is required a degree of proficiency that can not be attained without constant
Although we whipped Kansas on last Thanksgiving by dint of hard practice, their Athletic Association is in much better condition than ours. Their association is incorporated and owns a park and amphitheatre valued at $2,000—besides having over $500 in the treasury. How do we fare? We have a meadow, no amphitheatre, and no money. Why can't local enterprise incorporate our Athletic Association and give it an assurance of permanency? Make the shares nominal, thereby giving professors, students and citizens an honorable chance to aid athletics. A team that out-played Kansas deserves accommodations equal or superior to the "red-legs."—M. S. U. Independent.
"It is a difficult problem for educators to solve. A thousand men cannot be controlled like school boys, but have limited the number of excuses, which we accept, for obevance. Yet we believe that inter-collegiate contests are profitable. It is impossible to secure the spirit of the college necessary to the achievement of all athletic unrestricted by the rule of inter-collegiate conducted, but they should be conducted so that they would not require so much time as they do now."
