The Halls The stock of the STUDENT'S JOURNAL company consists of non-trans- one dollar shares. Any student institution may hold one and only one share. Worland, Long R. W. CONE. THE STUDENTS JOURNAL, in this first number of its third volume, extends a hearty greeting to all its friends and especially to the students of K. U., both old and new. It wishes them a very profitable and pleasant year and will do everything in its power to help in realizing this wish. THE most satisfactory way of obtaining the STUDENTS JOURNAL is to become a stockholder in the company. A share of stock costs but one dollar and entitles the holder to the paper for two years and to a vote in meetings of the company. The STUDENTS JOURNAL Company is duly incorporated and is on a sound financial footing. If you are eligible to become a stockholder, buy a share; if not, subscribe for the paper. THERE is one piece of advice which is always appropriate at the beginning of the school year. It is this: Do not become a member of any organization whatever until you know the consequences of your action, harmful as well as advantageous. If you are a new student and do not know to what ends certain paths will lead, take counsel with some older students. And be certain that you have heard both sides of the question before you take an irrevocable step. With their characteristic energy the resident members of last term's staff, assisted by some members of previous staffs, issued a very creditable number of the STUDENT'S JOURNAL a short time before the opening of the University. This "Midsummer Number" was very neat in form and excellent in contents, and, as it was circulated quite widely, was of great value in bringing the University prominently to the notice of Kansans at a time when many were about to decide what college they should attend this year. By the death of ex-Governor Charles Robinson, on August 17th, the University of Kansas lost a firm friend and generous benefactor. THE STUDENTS JOURNAL hoped to give, in this issue, a fitting account of the life and work of this prominent Kansan, but the hurry of the beginning of the University year has made it impossible to prepare the matter in time for publication this week. Hence we have chosen to wait until next week, when we shall give our readers an account more in keeping with the importance of the subject, rather than to publish a hasty and incomplete article. EVERY student, as well as every one interested in the University, should read the STUDENTS JOURNAL. Its news columns will note all the important happenings at the University and among the students. Its editors will consider, in an unprejudiced manner, subjects of general interest to the students. Its exchange department will be carefully edited, and "Our Study Window" will contain each week an interesting article of appropriate character. Accounts of the training and progress of the athletic teams will be given from time to time and all games will be carefully reported. Furthermore, the STUDENTS JOURNAL is published regularly each week in the school year. It never suspends publication. It is run in the interest of no clique or ring, but for the whole student body. THE various expeditions sent out by the University during the vacation just past have been very successful in obtaining large numbers of rare and valuable specimens, which will go to improve its already fine collections. Many of the professors and employees, although not sent out by the University in any of the expeditions, have of their own accord done collecting of various kinds. Some of the former students also have been on the alert to obtain useful specimens for the various departments here; as is shown by the gift, noted in another column, of specimens of sugar of various grades and of Cuban insects by a student who was here a couple of years ago. The graduates of the University can in this way be of great help to their Alma Mater without great exertion or appreciable expense on their part. What each old student could collect and send here might, seem to him to be of very little importance but in the aggregate it might amount to a great deal. Let every student bear this in mind, especially if he should go to some distant region are region With this issue the new staff of the STUDENTS JOURNAL enters upon its management of the paper, and it takes advantage of this opportunity to state its intentions and principles. The present staff will upon every occasion do all in its power to advance what seem to be the best interests of Kansus University and of the students thereof. It believes that the true interests of the students and of the University can never conflict—that whatever makes the University really stronger and more prosperous must improve the condition of the students, and that whatever does the students injustice will in the end react injuriously upon the University. In order to accomplish its aims the staff urgently asks, of every loyal student and friend of the University, their most hearty cooperation in its efforts to make the STUDENTS JOURNAL a paper worthy of the institution whose cause it seeks to advocate and of the body of students whose representative it aspires to be. THE members of the STUDENTS JOURNAL staff want all students in the University to understand that this paper exists for the purpose of helping them, in every way possible, to make their work here pleasant and highly valuable. With this end in view the members of the staff wish to become acquainted with all the students. They wish the students to feel free to use the columns of the STUDENTS JOURNAL for the discussion of subjects of interest to them. They will be glad also to have the students tell them in what way this paper may be improved and made more useful to the students and to the University. For the purpose of making all of these things easier for the student body we publish this week the portraits of the members of the Executive Committee of the STUDENTS JOURNAL Company who are also the chief members of the staff. By this means we hope to make the faces of the managers of this paper known to everyone. And we hope that this will be considered a sufficient introduction on our part, and that no student will hesitate to introduce himself to us as soon as he sees us, especially if he has any suggestions to make in regard to the conduct—past present, or future—of the STUDENTS JOURNAL. Anyone is permitted to enter the reading room who desires and may make use of any books and periodicals upon the shelves of the reading room. No access will be permitted to the books in the vaults of the library, but any student may obtain one book at a time by requesting the librarian, and may keep it for a period of not to exceed three weeks. POINTERS FOR NEW STUDENTS Sonkink is not allowed in any of the University buildings—except by the regents of the institution. Every Freshman should make his choice immediately between vocal culture and elocution. One of these is required of every Freshman and Sophomore, and as the vocal culture class begins work immediately it will be impossible to wait until the opening of the second term to decide between the two studies. Vocal culture class meets at Music Hall at 9:30 every Saturday morning throughout the year. Elocution classes meet on Friday afternoons throughout the second term. Gentlemen's Physical Culture classes are met by Hector Cowan on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. This work is required of all Freshmen and Sophomores, and the classes meet at eight and twelve a, m, and 4 p.m, in order that a student may accommodate himself to the hour which conflicts beast with his other engagements. On Sundays the 4p'clock classes meet with the second division at 12 m. No suits are required, but the use of shoes with rubber soles is recommended. Two things every new student should do once: Pay two dollars to the treasurer of the Athletic association. This constitutes you a member of the association with power to vote at all elections and entitles you to admission to all games upon McCook field under control of the association; and second, buy a share of stock in the STUDENTS JOURNAL company; for one dollar you will receive the paper two years, and be entitled to a vote at all meetings of the company. Those who wish to secure the cheapest and most satisfactory baths, should become a member, active or associate, of the Y. M. C. A. For $4 any Christian young man may become an active member of the association, with a voice in the election of officers; and privileges of the city association, including baths and parliars, but not including the use of the gymnasium. For $3,50 any young man of good moral character may become an associate member, which will entitle him only to the privileges of the city association, including baths at any time and as frequently as desired. JOINT DEBATES. During the summer vacation Professor Hopkins has continued the correspondence, which was begun last spring with the professors of the department of English of the University of Nebraska in regard to holding joint debates between representatives of that institution and of our own University. Nebraska University took formal action on the question some time ago and acquainted Professor Hopkins with their plan. Their formal proposition is now in the hands of a committee of the Faculty, awaiting action. Their proposition is, in substance, as follows: One of the Universities is to choose a question for debate and the other will elect which side of the question it will support. The manner of choosing debaters is left to be decided by each institution for itself. As soon as our faculty accepts the proposition, as it probably will do, Nebraska University will proceed to choose its representatives by preliminary contests. We should not be slow about deciding in regard to this important matter, as success will depend largely upon having time for thorough preparation. We believe the students will see the importance of preparing thoroughly for the contests by which our representatives will be chosen. Let every student take an active interest in our existing literary and debating societies, in order that the very best debaters we have may be chosen to represent us. The present plan is to hold the first contest in Lincoln, Neb, sometime in March. The judges will be persons not connected with either institution. The expenses of our representatives will doubtless be paid by the University. Professor Hopkins favors the plan of having the debaters chosen by the students, with the approbation of the faculty. However, the faculty will doubtless devise a way of selecting the debaters as soon as it decides to accept Nebraska's challenge. Prof. Edward C. Franklin has returned from Johns Hopkins University, where he received the degree of Ph.D., and will resume his position as assistant in chemistry, which place E. B. Davis filled during his absence. Prof Samuel R. Boyce, who has been taking post graduate work at Ann Arbor University, will resume his work as assistant in pharmacy. Clarence E. McClung filled his position while he was away. Changes in Faculty: Virgil S. Leighton, who has been assistant professor of chemistry at Tufts College, Mass., will fill the place of E. C. Case. Prof. Shepard's position will be filled by A. Sinclair Dustan, a graduate of Johns Hopkins, who has been professor of physics at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. OUR STUDY WINDOW. The Editor sat before Our Study Window, his feet upon the windowsill, his head resting against the wall worn leather back of his easy chair. The window shone brightly in its newly-received coat of polish, and seemed to invite attention. Well might it do that, if it was a wonderful window? Through it many; and many a beautiful vislon had l'oon seen, and on its polished front l'oon been mirrored manya noble dream. The Editor gazed at it and sighed, as he thought of its wonderful power and of the long line of illustrious predecessors who had filled his present position, that of interpreting the window's story. The Editor was young and inexperienced in literary art. On the desk at his right were several books - The Editor's Journal, a handbook on Journalism, The Correct Use of English—each intended for a practical guide to young writers. The desk was further littered with note-books and journals of the editor's composition. * The Editor wheeled around in his chair to the desk and picked up one of the note-books. He opened it at a page entitled Mathematical Schemes of Composition. Under the heading were a few suggested outlines, such as the following: For One Paper— 1. Poem, say a somet on Tenypson. 2. Discussion of Tenypson. 2. As a Man. Take some particular phase of his character and show it in the poet, and in the man. It will give unity to the whole paper. or take up separate subdivisions, and treat a whole, making no connections, use asterisks. The Editor sighed as he read it. "Too coldly intellectual," he murmured. "there must be more inspiration." He sighed again, stretched himself, ran his fingers through his long hair, and then opened the note book at another place and read: The first issue must be of a rather more personal nature. Hints as to what the editor has been doing during the summer, suggestions of recent political and social events, etc., etc. "Oh, well; here goes, then," said the Editor, with a whimsical smile as he once more rumped his curly hair "The Editor sat in his easy chair, Guawing his nails, and tearing his hair." "That's personal, surely," he said, "and true to life, too, by Ginger," he added, suddenly realizing his sympathetic action by the sharp pain in his finger tips. "But it won't be." He pushed himself away from his desk, placed his feet upon the window-sill, and leaned back in his chair. "Look this way, inspiration never yet came to one from the dingy walls of a room." The words came from the window. The Editor looked and saw what seemed to be a dim shadow of himself. Why it was him himself he could not tell, there no features to be recognized, and, yet, that it was, he never doubted. For this spectral self, as he called it, had been with him before. It had stood at his elbow during all his workings hours, had ruthlessly criticized, and with pen and lash had gouged him on his literary career. He gazed at the shadowy form; it brought to his mind the trisque drudgery, the earnest work, and the striving ambition of his apprenticeship days. A sickening disgust of literature came over him. He had passed out of the workshop he mastered the various forms of English, could write without an effort, and now what? He had always had an idea that he was preparing himself to help humanity. "To help humanity" was the vague form his youthful ambition had taken. “To help humanity,” however, when it came to the point, was not as easy a thing to do as he had imagined. It seemed now to require something more than a mastery of the forms of English. What did the Editor know of the needs of humanity? He had served his apprenticeship to “Books.” But are not books embodied thoughts of the world’s great men, of men who surely know the wants of human kind? Proceed then. O Editor, on your course! Take one of your “mathematical schemes,” your “suggested outlines,” and chase dull care from the brow of man! The Editor groomed in the disgust he felt for his new position. How could he furnish strength or solace to others by means of that which was beginning to awaken in him an intense loathing. In deep perplexity sat staring at the floor, his head sunk upon his chest.

They came into his consciousness with all the quiet movement of a flowing tide. He did not even look up. "Well, mother, I should like to know why?" another voice answered. "Well, because, now the strike's on, father is likely to be out of work for some time." "He isn't out of work now?" "Yes he is too." The Editor looked up. He saw before him two women, apparently mother and daughter. He knew he had never seen or heard of them before, and yet, he read their history in one glance. The girl was Charlotte O'Connoly, the oldest child of Jim O'Connoly, a workman in the railroad shops. She had been fairly well educated, had graduated from the High School of the small town in which she lived. That was two years before; she had since then become engaged to a young mechanic, had taught two years in a district school, and had saved one hundred dollars with which to defray her wedding expenses. Her father, Jim O'Connolly, was an irishman by descent, not birth. He had been educated after the manner of Irish immigrants' children—had earned the merest rudiments of the three "R's," and then turned into the shop, to help support "Dad." He was an honest, hardworking man, a diligent reader of the newspapers, and an ardent politician. His wife belonged, like kinship, to the working class of people. She was a neat and economical banskeeper, a good mother to her four little boys and had an earnest desire to see them as well educated as Charlotte. She had to use a great deal of tact not to let this desire have too great a prominence, as her lord and master was not in sympathy with it. His boys didn't need so much education, ought to be learning a trade, ought to work at a trade by the time they were sixteen, that their father might get some good out of their money before they came of age. Charlotte had gone to school until she was eighteen, and had claimed as her own, the money she had earned since her graduation. Her father, in consequence, had never felt fully repaid for raising her. But Charlotte's mother felt that, in Charlotte, she was justly rewarded for the hard work she had undergone in order to educate her. She had practiced the most rigid economy, as she was still doing for the sake of the younger students, and kept up a cheerful manner through it all, that her husband might not suspect how much pinching it took to let him have his "pin money." as she and Charlotte laughingly called it. She had done all this with good result in Charlotte's case, and with good prospects for her boys, and now—the strike. The strike—the Editor tried to think what it was, it seemed so long ago. He knew, though, that not a month had past since the newspapers were full of it, and every one was excited about it. The great strike—first a strike for higher wages for a few workmen, and the sympathetic strike, general all over the country, the attempt of the unions to stop all the locomotive machinery of the government. It began to come back to the Editor now. He remembered that he was at that time very busily engaged in preparing a paper on Browning, and that the stoppage of the mails had greatly annoyed him by keeping away some books he had ordered. He remembered, too, the great discussions there had been at his boarding club; the enthusiastic young man who championed the striker's cause, declaring that unions, and strikes—yes, sympathetic strikes, too—were the laboring man's only means of defense, that it was necessary to stop the traffic of the country, and seriously discompose a great many innocent people. In order to get their wrongs corrected. The Editor had thoroughly disagreed with the young man, but had refrain Douglas King ADNA G. CLARKE. ed from argument with him, not liking his heat. And charlotte O'Connolly, and Mrs. O'Connoly, and the four little O'Connoly's—what of them. A few of the discomposed innocents? The boys will have to stop their schooling and go to work to support "Dad," as their father did before them. And Charlotte will have to postpone her happiness for a year or two. The one hundred dollars saved for her wedding expenses will come in very handy in supplying the necessities of life. Her father will not demand it of her, but she cannot keep it when the family is in want. If pressed to it of course, Mrs O'Connoly can take in washing, but 'Dad' will stand on the street corner with a crowd of his compatriots and talk in glowing terms of the stride betw en labor and capital, and the great mission of the working man to overcome the wicked capitalists. Increasing work and bitterness brought to six people, because of the rights of one! Psahw! a sentimental consideration, not of a father's weight of importance in the grand sweep of civilization. A sentimental consideration doubtless, but the real position is this; Jim O'Connolly, and he is but a representative of a large number of our working men, is an Irishman, and uneducated; and can, therefore, have no great conception of the principles of the American government. Shall he be allowed the privilege of violating the laws American born citizens have made? of thus encouraging lawlessness and riots in the restless, immigrant element of the country? of taking his children out of school and placing them at a tender age in surroundings wretchedly fitted to make of them good men and good citizens? "No!" thundered he Editor, and jumped up, startled at the sound of his own voice. He had thought there were voices in the room, but his own sound like a cannon blasts in comparison. He glanced at the window; Charlotte and her mother faded into clear blue sky and green stretches of land. The Editor drew his hand confusedly across his forehead, and turned around just in time to realize that Sam, the hall boy, was saying: "A lady to see you sir." The Bismarck Fair. Everything is booming this year. The University is starting out with a rush that contrasts most favorably with the spirit of the last few years. The same spirit is to be seen about Lawrence. Bismarck Fair which will be held at Bismarck Grove from the 24th to the 29th of this month is a fit representative of the returning good times. In fact we believe our students will think it fortunate that they came to Lawrence, if only to attend this Fair, Admission is twenty-five cents. Bismarck Grove is reached by the Lawrence Street Car Line, and is one of the most beautiful natural forests in Kansas. The enterprise of the management is shown by the many special features that will be added to the regular ones. Besides the farm, stock and machinery exhibits which are seen at all fair, there will be fine speed ring. On the political days, the students will have the opportunity of hearing the foremost representatives of the different political parties of Kansas. The men who will speak are orators of fine reputation such as the Hon. David Qymeyer, and the Hon. J. R. Burton. The military battalions of Haskell Institute will be in camp during the Fair, and show what good soldiers the red-skins are. The Lawrence Cycling Club, whose members belong to the National League of American Wheelmen, have arranged for a series of bicycle races, and fast men have already made known their intention of entering.

Hector Cowan has a Terrific Encoura- tion at Midnight. Rev. Hector Cowan, the University athletic instructor, is spending the summer vacation at his old home near Hobort. N. Y. A few nights ago he was awakened by a noise which he thought came from burglars and he started to investigate it. His brother Henry arrose for the same mission. Henry was the first in the room whence the noise seemed to come, and on his hands and knees he was cautiously working his way up to the window when he was suddenly pounced upon by Hector, who had stolen noiselessly behind and mistook Henry for a burglar. Henry is several years younger than his brother, who from earliest boyhood until within the last fey years, has made an improvised foot ball of him whenever the big Princetonian felt the need of vigorous exercise. But Henry has added pounds of flesh and muscle since those old days, and Heeter Cowan found at once he had his hands full. The room was dark and a terrible struggle for mastery began. They roiled over and over on the floor, smashing furniture and upsetting stands. First one would be on top, only to be clked against the wall by the other. They choked and hammered each other until they clinched for a final fall near the window; and then both stopped in astonishment at recognizing each other. When a light was brought and the new thoroughly aroused household looked at the wrecked room and the battered athletes, there was a hearty laugh all around, and any amount of ridicule heaped upon the mistaken combatants by the inmates of the household. The brothers were laid up with their bites and stiffness the next day, but both were devoutly thankful that neither was armed, as they acknowledge the encounter would probably have had a fatal termination. -Lawrence Gazette. across.

News has been received that the Virunda, the ship upon which, Dr. F. A. Cook's Arctic excursion party took passage, has been wrecked on a sunken reef. August 9, off the west coast of Greenland. The party were all rescued by the schooner Rigel of Gloucester, ten days after the Miranda struck the reef. Perhaps the fluest collection ever secured in Greenland, of ethnological and botanical specimens with photographs taken by the party, were lost with the Miranda. The passengers lost everything except the clothing they wore. Many lost valuable scientific instrument and hunting equipments. Shortly after the Rigel rescued the party, the Miranda which had been kept afloat with great difficulty, sank. Nothing was saved from the Mirada except the sailors' clothing. Nothing was saved from the Miranda except the sailors' clothing. The young women who came back to the State University will be gladened by the sight of Prof. Franklin back from Johns Hopkins with a Ph.D. and a Van Dyke brace and bicycle legs like a katyldie. —Kansas City Star Last Wednesday morning, Mrs. Dykea received a despatch sent from North Sidney, Nova Scotia, stating that the Miranda had been wrecked and that a schooner had rescued the party. She expects to receive a letter from the professor in a few days, and thinks he will be home in a short time. LOOK. LOOK.

Mitchell, Williamson, Chamberlain, Wagner, Hogaboom, and Steinberger have registered up to date. Athletics. Prof. Murlin the new president of Baker College stopped off in Lawrence last Monday. He thinks foot ball is all right if not over done and will favor athletics. Mattheson will be unable to attend the University as he had expected to do. Kelsey's team of ball players at Winfield Kansas claim the championship of the state for this summer. They won two of a series of three games from Emporia last week and have lost but 10 games out of 48 played during the season. They were banqueted by the citizens of Winfield last Saturday. Kelsey has been playing in center field with Gear as pitcher. The first game of ball that was ever played by a University team was probably a game between K. U. and the Kaw Valley club of Lawrence on July 6, 1867. Lawrence won, score 26 to 15. The University team consisted of Barber, catcher; Chambers, right field; Hadley, center field; Bullem, second base; Drew, s; S, Lane, pitcher and center field; Rankin, third base; Snow, first base; and Coger, left field and pitcher. The same team played at Topeka on September 5, 1867 and was defeated by a score of 97 to 50. Of last year's Athletic Board, Moody, Williamson, Steinberger, Newson, Hogg and Miss Whitman will be in school. The annual election of officers will be held October 1st. Mr. Cowan returned from the east last week and is on the look out for foot ball material. He predicts a successful season and will soon have boys practicing hard. Every student in the University should become a member of the Athletic Association at once. Two dollars entitles a person to membership for one year and admits to all games on McCook field. Fifty cents entitles one to membership in the association but does not admit to any of the games. Deposit your money with R.K. Moody treasurer of the Association The Missouri people are kicking themselves yet over the K. U. Missouri base ball game. The M. S. U. Independent says that the Missouri people hired a pitcher and several other players and that K. U. hired better men than they did. This is a mistake K. U. hired no players at all. The Opening of the Session: Mr. Barnes, of New York, will be played for the first time in Lawrence, Wednesday, September 12th. The company is headed by Miss Emily Rigl, who will be seen in her famous character, Marina Paola—the hotheaded but loving Corsican girl. Miss Rigl is recognized throughout the whole country as one of the best artists on the stage, and in the above part, she has won praise from press and public. She will have the benefit of a strong supporting company, including such well known names as James K. Sackett, Horace Lewis, Charles Lamb, Redfield Clark, Edward Morrison, May Haines Moore, Helen Lee, Mrs. Roberts, Helen Robertson, Wayne Pouchee, Charles Haynes and L. L Dresser. New and special scenery has been prepared for the production. The famous railroad scene is given in four distinct changes. The sale of seats opens Saturday morning It is understood that certain students of the University are making arrangement for publishing the University Review. For the benefit of the advertisers of the city and the general public, I wish to state that the regular election last May under authority of which I am a member of these parties are claiming to act, was discovered immediately after the meeting to have been illegal. And at a meeting of the board of directors on Friday, June 1st, it was decided that the editor should call a meeting of the company for a new election as soon as the election of the fall term. Until such election of the officers of last year still hold, and those now so soliciting advertisements are acting without proper authority. Doing Business Without Authority. Respectfully, CHAS. S.

Last Friday Chancellor Snow and party consisting of his two sons, Will and Frank, Hago Harl. of the Sweedish Royal Museum, and H. W. Menke returned from the Magdelena mountains, New Mexico, where they have been hunting for specimens for the department of entomology and the State University museum. In about two months the party succeeded in collecting 12,000 bugs, among which were many rare and valuable specimens. The Chancellor while out in the mountains was fortunate in finding and capturing a rattle snake of the same variety as the one he captured in Water Canyon, in '1881, where he was spending a few days. These rattle snakes differ from the common rattle snakes in color, being of a bluish gray. These two are the only ones in a scientific collection. Mr. E. C. Case, who was with the party, did not return, but went to Utah, where he had learned from Mrs. Elidride, formerly of Lawrence, that there were Cliff Dwellers' abodes unexplored. Mr. Case will examine and photograph these abodes. He will return in four or five weeks. We are opening our new Fall Stock—new additions daily. BOYS! SPARR & ALEXANDER.

E. C. Case returned last Monday from his trip in quest of cliff dwellings. When he finally met, the man whom he expected to guide him to some newly discovered ruins, he found that his guide was almost as much at sea as himself. The statements that had been made to Mr. Case had been, he discovered, mere surmises instead of known facts. Furthermore when Mr. Case met his man he found that he had yet before him an eight days trip by burro train. Going and coming this would have consumed more time than he could spare. Another obstacle was the lack of water in the region to which they were going. The canon of the river is so deep that it is impossible to get down to the water, hence about the only time for a trip there is in December when snow can be depended upon. Consequently Mr. Case was compelled to return empty handed. THE STUDENTS JOURNAL PUBLISHED WEEKLY By the Students Journal Pub. Go. R W. Cone ... Editor-in-Chief R M. Kennedy ...

THE OPENING ADDRESS. On last Friday morning the Hon. Eugene F. Ware, of Topeka, lawyer, orator, and poet, delivered the annual address at the twenty-ninth opening of the University of Kansas, in University Hall. The attendance was unusually large for the name and fame of the speaker are well known. Upon this occasion the speaker surpassed even the high expectations of his audience. His subject, Success in Life, appeals to everyone, and his address was full of suggestive ideas. Through it all there were present a fund of humor, an originality of expression and a uniqueness of illustration which make any synopsis of his speech very unsatisfactory. In beginning, Mr. Ware said that although the larger portion of his business career had been devoted to giving good advice, for which he had received ample compensation, he did not intend to advise his hearers upon this occasion, but only to give them some of his opinions concerning success. However, he was not sure that he knew what success is, nor even that such a thing as success exists—not so sure as he was twenty years ago—but he took the existence of success as one of the premises of his discourse. Some think happiness is success, but if it is, then the ignorant and the debaised, who are very often happy, are successful. The speaker was not sure though, that he knew anything more about the nature and existence of happiness than of success. For instance, he thought he was happy, but was not sure—did not know what made him happy. Mr. Ware said he had held many varying opinions about success. The one he proposed to give to his audience was the one he had eluded to the longest, but he reserved the right to change it without notice. As an illustration he took an imaginary case. A Kansas man concludes to run for Congress, as Kansas men sometimes do. He mortgages his farm to furnish funds, he promises office to every petty politician. He is elected and reelected term after term; he receives five thousand dollars a year and fifteen cents mileage while traveling on a pass. Is this success? It looks like it. But while helping to steer the ship of state he falls overboard and is drowned past any reasonable hope of resuscitation. Was he successful? Is any man in high position successful? if he does nothing permanent? Some man invented the telephone, then Bell invented it and it stained. Perhaps the Norsemen discovered America, but Columbus discovered it and kept it discovered. A Kansas governor once ranked high in the esteem of the people; he was the idol of his party, but he did not stay. He was soon on the toboggan slide of popular disfavor, lubricated all the way to obscurity. Bell and Columbus were the successful men. In the case of the congressman, before he falls overboard, this poor fool world says he is a "howling success," but the university graduate asks "what has he done?" recognizing that success depends, first, upon what is done of lasting value to society. Office holding is not success, only opportunity; not much, but a little. Most men do not take advantage of the opportunity, but are greater when they go into office than when they come out. Is money a measure of success? Anna Dickinson, when at the height of her career as a lecturer, said it was. Since then she has been adjudged insane. Mr. Ware is inclined to believe she was insane then. A fortune is proof of nothing but continuous luck. Philosophers try to do away with "luck" and put "foresight" in its place. But those most able to foresee do not always win. Brains do not always tell. The fortunate are too promiscuously distributed among the brainy and the brailiness. However, good luck is not success. Success depends not upon the possession of money but upon the disposition made of it. Jay Gould was a failure, although the poor fool world called him a "howling success." What did he do? Did he found a college or university? No, he went off and surgenitiously died. Being thus cut off from his base of supplies, so to speak, he could take nothing with him, although the fall in Missouri Pacific stock seemed to indicate the contrary. Money is not success, only opportunity; not much, but a little. The rich man who is to be admired is the one who like Stanford, chokes out of the world university: or who butchers out an institute, as Armour has done. Then the successful man is the one who does some permanent good to humanity. In fact the most successful are generally neither office holders nor millionaires; but soldiers and students. These have given the world about all it has. Soldiers have always been highly honored; but the students have given the world more than have the soldiers; they have raised humanity. Chancellor Snow has done more good than all our Kansas congressmen. His name will be known and cherished when the names of congressmen, senators, and millionaires are as little cared for as a matured almanac. The name of D. W. Wilder, who wrote the Kansas Annals, will be known when the names of senators are remembered only as are the names of ancient Roman consuls—for chronological convenience. But brains do not win; they cannot win. The winning properties are soul and heart. Cold, unsympathetic brains do not bring success—true success—in any walk of life. Hearts win, and and this poor tool world recognizes the fact in its lucid intervals. A great man feels for others. Our principal military leaders have been men who sympathized with their soldiers. It is the subordinate officers that are tyrants—that "play horse" with you and give you a feeling of superfluous lassitude. If you wish to see the head of a department in Washington—the Secretary of the Navy, say—and in your card and you will be pleasantly received, but if it is the Chief Clerk of the Department of Gun Wads whom you wish to see, you will be made to feel that your presence is an unpardonable intrusion. This fact accounts for the clerk remaining a clerk all his life; has no heart. Mr. Ware was, he said, unable to account for Napoleon's greatness until he was shown the tenderness of the "little coralous" heart by a letter written by Napoleon to his brother, King of Milan. Three humble French private complained of their treatment in the Milanese hospital and Napoleon commanded his brother to reform the abuses there. Such love for his soldiers enabled him to lead them wherever he would. The same greatness of heart is shown in Jesus' saying that not even a sparrow falls without being noted by His loving eye. Qualities of heart may be cultivated, Often "big heartedness" is assumed, and the world is easily fooled for a time. But if hearts win, why study at university? Business is managed by men who never went to college. Society is led by people without higher education. Still, the brain may help the heart, many things may be obtained better in college than elsewhere. The trouble with graduates is, they want to be at the head of their business the next day after graduation, although the more conservative are willing to wait a week. Success is slow and requires work. Men are like cabbages—this is not a new saying but the speaker claimed the application as his own—and if the suffrage amendment carries, women too, will be like cabbages. If it does not, then woman will remain the same glittering success as ever. There are two sorts of cabbages, the Early York, which is at its best in midsummer, but is never very good; and the Big drumhead, which is best when frost comes. The latter sorts is in its prime when the former has decayed. As an example, the speaker mentioned the last banquet of the "young crowd" in Toppea as an Early York banquet. There are Early Yorks in the universities, too, but the plodder should not be envious—should not repine. Let him remember that when he is still sound and prime these Early Yorks will have decayed. Money is huku office opportunity. Heart will pull you through. The Drumhead has to fear only the genius, who is subject to no rules. The young man who hitches his wagon to a star should look out for the fellow who drives a good mule team. In concluding his address, Mr. Ware said that, as it is usual to end such a speech with a quotation, he had searched long and earnestly for one. Falling to find an appropriate one he had written one for himself. Thus was more easily done and gave him the advantage of knowing just what the writer meant by the lines. He then recited a short poem emphasizing the idea that hearts, not brains, wn. OUR BEGINNING. For the benefit of those who were not in the University two years ago it may be well to give a short account of the incidents which led to the founding of this paper. At that time and for several years previous there had existed a paper the Courier, purporting to be published by and for the students of Kansas State University. In reality, however, that paper was entirely controlled by a ring consisting of a few fraternities whose members composed but a very small minority of the students here. The paper endeavored, naturally, to advance the selfish interests of the clique controlling it, and in doing so often opposed what was best for the University and for the student body. That paper still exists and is published—though it suspended publication for several weeks last year—and is still managed by the same fraternities which controlled it then. Early in the fall of 1892 a number of the non-fraternity students, believing that the University and its students should be more fairly represented, began to advocate the establishing of a new university weekly upon broader and more democratic foundations; and after discussing the matter thoroughly they founded the STUDENTS JOURNAL From the first it was heartily supported by the students and it has prospered and grown stronger from year to year. At the first meeting for the organization of the proposed new company there was present a representative of the Courier company who proposed that instead of establishing a new paper the non-fraternity students should buy an interest in the Courier. However the most favorable arrangement suggested by him was that the members of the proposed new company, who represented a large majority of the school, should purchase half of the Courier stock. But, as the four fraternities—a very small minority of the students—would hold an equal amount of stock, it was thought best, after some delay to allow the Courier company to make further propositions, to go on with the movement, and the STUDENTS JOURNAL was founded. At first only non-fraternity students were permitted to become stockholders in the new enterprise, but later an amendment was passed allowing any student, instructor or employee in the University to own a share of stock. Before this the STUDENTS JOURNAL had been the representative of a large majority of the students but now it represents the whole school. Anyone in the University may have a voice in this paper's management. Last year an attempt was made to unite the two papers because the business men of Lawrence objected to advertising in two university papers. A students meeting presided over by Chancellor Snow was held to consider the proposed combination and a committee of professors and students representing both papers was chosen to draw up a constitution for the proposed new company. The committee reported a very good constitution and the STUDENTS JOURNAL COMPANY, willing to make some sacrifice for the benefit of advertisers and for the sake of peace and unity, agreed to cease publication and to go into the new company as soon as the Courier company signified its intention to do likewise. This the Courier company never did, hence it and it alone is to blame for the failure of the plan. This fact is recognized by everyone acquainted with the circumstances. The first work in foot-ball practice was done Monday afternoon. Some of last years players who will play this year were not out but the line was well filled with new men, who promise to make a strong team. The STUDENTS JOURNAL hopes by this account to make plain to all new students its position in university affairs. Athletics Two rooms in North College have been fitted up for the foot-ball boys, one of them contains a shower bath. Baker College will allow no foot-ball this year and her players are entering other schools. Pendleton, Allen, and Heller, from Baker, were on the hill Tuesday, and may enter K. U. One the promising candidates on entering the bath room exclaimed "it will go down in K. U. histор that W. T. Walker took the first bath." Mr. Usher is endeavoring to help Williamson to get out some good men who are not yet in the notion of playing It is hoped they will come out, for they are heavy men, and will give the team weight, of which there was so much need last year. OUR STUDY WINDOW. "I want you to sign my suffer- book," said his guest, answering his question by "flinging the proffered chair and placing on the table before her a large, brown covered book. The edit - wondered what would happen next. Was this, too, part of his profession? I dury? "Will you take a seat, Madam?" said the editor in his official tone, when the lady entered the room. II "We want the names of all those who are in favor of it, and we want the list headed by people who are well known. So I come to you first." "Of course, if you have any objections, I will not press the point, only I would like to know what they are." "Obliections?" The lady looked up with a reassuring smile that should have at once convinced the editor of his duty. But he remained silent in his confused uncertainty of mind. "Yes, objections to woman's suffrue." "Oh! objections to woman's suffrage. Why, do women want to vote?" asked the editor. He looked toward the magic window, but no gleam of light shone from its clear surface. It merely reflected the light, airy figure of the lady before him. She was dressed in white, was very pretty—and the editor was young. "I'm sure I don't know; it depends upon what you mean by "women." Is it all women, some woman, or one woman?" The lady laughed gayly at the editor's question. The editor had never heard a woman's suffrage speech in his life. He had known personally but one advocate of it. She was a woman of intensely radical ideas, to whom any change meant reform. Woman's suffrage, harsh voice, unagain personality, lack of good manners—this was the association in the editor's mind. But woman's suffrage, and woman, well-bred, well dressed, and, last but not least, young and pretty—try as he would, the editor could not get the two ideas related. There was such a woman, however, sitting before him, and asking him to vote- for woman's suffrage at the coming election. "Come now, what are your objec- tions? 'Sickly sentimental,' or 'sternely practical,' the angel theory,' or 'the kitchen theory?' " "Why, of course, I have no objection if a woman really wants to vote; it's a lady's privilege to have what she wishes," said the editor gallantly. "Only" he added, perplexed at the idea. "I don't see why she should want to." The young lady laughed again. In fact, she lauged at everything the editor said; she seemed greatly amused at the editor's perplexity. "Yes," she said: "they say it's great nonsense. A woman has enough to do without mixing in the political world. It is too ardous for her"—the editor looked sympathetic "it would pollute her nature"—the editor was horrified—and lastly, she don't know enough to vote." "On, no, not that, surely," said the editor quickly. "That's what they say," calmly answered the lady. "Well," said the editor, after a moment of embarrassing silence," a woman wouldn't make a very good policeman, now, would she?" "Of course she wouldn't, but I don't see what that has to do with it." "Why, if a woman votes, she will want to hold office, just as a man does." "I didn't know before that all male voters held office." "Of course not." The editor laughed lamely at his position, and repeated his affirmation that he had no objection to the question—if woman wanted the suffrage. "Why, then, you're ready to sign my book," said the lady, and pushed the open book before him. "Or, perhaps, you would rather subscribe to one or several of these objections," she added, seeing that the editor still hesitated. He unrolled the large manuscript she had been holding in her hand with mock solemnity, and read in a voice of exaggerated seriousness; We, the undersigned, after due deliberation, solemnly protest against the present woman suffrage movement that is agitating the minds of the people upon the following grounds: 1. The sentiment of the Bible seems to be against it. Did not Paul say, "Let your women stay at home and learn of their husbands?" 2. We can judge of the future only Pianos Organs Guitars, Mandolins.

"The most interesting feature of these objections," said the lady, interrupting herself in her reading, is the certainty on the part of the antisuffragists as to the plans of the Creator. How any one can be so sure of the divinely-appointed sphere of woman in a world so full of uncertainty as ours is more than I can see. However, there are more objections," said the lady, unrolling her manuscript its full extent and exposing a yard of written page. But perhaps I had better spare you: they can all be classed under two or three heads. When they don't betray the grossest ignorance and selfishness, they show that the objectors have given very little deliberate and unprejudiced consideration to the question. "And perhaps the most that can be said in favor of the question." continued the lady "may be summed up in the following: Women are individuals, the same as men; are subject to the same laws as men, and ought to have a voice in the making of those laws. We do not make you any promises for the future. We do not know the result any more than you. We have our opinions, of course; some of us think matters will be better, some worse. But we believe that woman's suffrage is inherently right, whatever the immediate result, and we are willing to trust the future to the Divine Ruler of the Universe. Shall I go on with the objections?" The lady dropped from her serious words into her former one of mock solemnity so suddenly that the editor laughed outright. "No." he said, at the same time inscribing his name in her book. He handed her the book, which she took, and rose immediately. "Good afternoon Madam," said the Editor, bowing very low. "I thank you very much," said the lady. DR. BELL'S GIFT. At last a School of Medicine as a department of the University of Kansas is assured. Dr. Simeon S. Bell, of Rosedale, Kans., has deeded to the University property valued at one hundred thousand dollars, with the condition that this property shall be used to build and equip a hospital where the clinical work of the school can be carried on. When Chancellor Snow returned from his vacation trip he found a proposition from Dr. Bell awaiting him. He went to Rosedale, examined the property and accepted the gift. The Regents meet today and tomorrow they will go down, and after looking the property over, formally accept the gift. Dr. Bell has intended for some time to devote his property to founding a medical college, but it was through the efforts of Dr. Tiffany, of Kansas City, and of Professor Sayre that the University was chosen as the recipient of Dr. Bell's munjienfe. John Sullivan, of Kansas City, acted for the University in arranging the details of the transfer. The property consists of one hundred and one lots in Rosedale and thirty-two acres of land, to be used as the site of the hospital. The land is all in Wyandotte county, only half a mile from the Union depot, and is on the Metropolitan street car line. The present plan is to establish a four year's course in medicine. The first two year's work will be done here and the last two years—which will consist largely of clinical work—will be done at Rosedale. The course will be so arranged that a student can, by selecting the proper work here, finish it in two years after receiving his bachelor's begree from the school of Arts. LAW NOTES. Examination of candidates for the junior law class was held Thursday afternoon. Many students were admitted from accredited schools. Examination of candidates for the senior law class was held Friday morning. The junior law class will at once begin the study of Lawson on Contracts under Prof. Green the hours of recitation being from 10 to 12. The senior class begins the study of Torts under Mr.Riggs, the recitation hour being 9 to 10. The additions to the faculty of the law school this year are Judge Humphrey of Junction City who teaches Constitutional Law and Judge Dobson of ___ who will take Corporations. Both of these gentlemen stand high in the legal profession being two of the brightest lawyers in Kansas. Prof. Green strongly discountenances all endeavors of the law students to take studies in the art school. He is not alone in his belief that the subject of law is broad enough to occupy the whole time of any student. Students of the senior class are advised to review the subjects of the junior class especially those of Contracts, Agency and Commercial Paper. Kent club will be called to order at 9 o'clock for the purpose of ecting officers for the ensuing term. All students of the School of Law may become members by signing the constitution. The reception given by the Baptists to the students of the university was a very pleasant affair and all present had a very enjoyable time. Dana Templin is back in school and will take post graduate work. THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. Professor Haworth's summer school in geology was very successful during the past vacation, and quite an addition was made to the already large collection of minerals. The class consisted of J. G. Hall, Gerge L. Adams, of the class '93, Rev. John Bennett, rector of the Episcopal church in Fort Scott, and J. Z. Gilbert, a graduate of McPherson College. Mr. Gilbert and Mr. Adams are now at the University taking post graduate work in geology and kindred sciences. Classes similar to this summer class have been carried on under the direction of Professor Haworth for several years. The work has been done principally in southeastern Kansas. The various systems of rocks, minerals, and shales have been traced and diagramed quite thoroughly. Records of deep wells have been kept, and says Professor Haworth, "we are now in possession of sufficient data to make a complete detailed geological map of southeastern Kansas." Professor Haworth also found time during the summer to spend a week visiting the lead and zinc mines of Joplin, Mo. He expresses himself as very well pleased with the summer's work. Among the three thousand pounds of specimens collected this summer is a fine large specimen of calcite, weighing over nine hundred pounds. The specimens are all fine ones, and they will soon be on display. The Bismarck Fair Everything is booming this year. The University is starting out with a rush that contrasts most favorably with the spirit of the last few years. The same spirit is to be seen about Lawrence. Bismark Fair which will be held at Bismark Grove from the 24th to the 29th of this month is a fit representative of the returning good times. The enterprise of the management is shown by the many special features that will be added to the regular ones. Besides the farm, stock and machinery exhibits, which are seen at all fairs, there will be a fine speed ring. On the political days the students will have the opportunity of hearing the foremost representatives of the different political parties of Kansas. The men who will speak are orators of fine reputation such as the Hon. David Overmeyer, and the Hon. J. R Burton. The military battalions of Haskell Institute will be in camp during the Fair, and show what good soldiers the red-skins are. The Lawrence Cycling Club, whose members belong to the National Lengue of American Wheelen, have arranged for a series of bicycle races, and fast men have already made known their intention of entering. In fact we believe our students will think it fortunate that they came to Lawrence, if only to attend this Fair. Admission is twenty-five cents. Bismark Grove is reached by the Lawrence Street Car Line, and is one of the most beautiful natural forests in Kansas. The steamer Portia, upon which Professor Dyche had taken passage for New York, ran into the schooner Dora M. French, in a dense fog. This accident cost four of the schooner's crew their lives. Through the press dispatches comes the news that Prof. Dyche has met with another accident. Since our last issue Mrs. Dyche has received a letter from the professor stating that he was in good health. He had collected about a thousand dollars worth of specimens, which were all lost. The students will remember that this is the third wreck with which the party in which Prof, Dyche went has been connected. Another Wreck.

We believe that a very large majority of the students will be glad to learn that the faculty of the school of Arts has petitioned the University Council to do away with the plan, which was adopted last year, of having a half holiday on Wednesday and a half day of school on Saturday. The old plan of having five whole days' of school and a whole day's holiday on Saturday is much more satisfactory to professors and to students. Often instructors have occasion to be absent upon University business and, as a half day is seldom long enough to allow for the trip, they are obliged to dismiss one or more classes. The students, too, have found that two half holidays a week are no holiday, as far as to what can be accomplished in them, and that they interrupt regular work very seriously. Especially have the students of the natural sciences been discomposed by the plan of having two half holidays. They often wish to go some distance from Lawrence to special localities for the purpose of collecting geological, botanical or entomological specimens, and such an excursion cannot generally be made in much less than a day. By all means let us return to the old plan of five days school and an all day holiday. WHAT will be done this year in regard to tennis? This excellent sport has been allowed to get on as best it could for the last two years without any care from the athletic association. A few years ago, when the University controlled the Warren street courts, very enjoyable tournaments were given from time to time. There are plenty of good players in the University this year, so why would it not be well for the athletic association to lay out tennis courts on MetCook field and have a tournament soon? Good games would secure a good attendance of students and the association could make a neat little sum in this way, at very little expense. In the tennis tournament at Kansas City last year Russ Whitman won the medal as champion in singles of the four states. Consequently he did not enter in the singles at the tournament held this week. He has only to defend the medal won last year against the winner in this year's tournament, he entered, however, in the doubles Bunker & Parrett A Student AGAIN we are obliged to crave the indulgence of our readers.

Professor Dyche's many friends in Kansas and Kansas City learn with regret of his misfortune in the frozen regions. Not only the failure of the expedition is deplored, but the loss of the specimens gathered by the Professor, which were doubtless prized highly by him. However, a much greater misfortune—the loss of Mr. Dyche himself—was happily averted, and regret is consequently mingled with rejoicing.—Kansas City Journal. THERE is one need which, we venture to say, is felt by every student in the University, and by many old students now out in the world, as well, it is the need for a Kansas University pin or button. Several unsuccessful attempts have been made in the past to satisfy this need, but in each case the students have failed to buy any considerable number of pins. Those who have tried to sell such articles here have found that very few students were satisfied with the designs of the emblems offered; the students always wanted something different from what was offered, without knowing just what they wanted. We are inclined to think that this fact—the desire of the students for something different accounts for the failure, or the incomplete success, of the various plans for a Kansas University emblem, in the past. In each instance the proposed emblem has been either a plain button or one modeled after the button of some other college, and therefore lacked distinctive character. Such an emblem will not satisfy the demand. What is wanted is a button as unlike every other college button as our yell is unlike other college yells. Furthermore, its very uniqueness should if possible be suggestive of the University of Kansas. We need a pin after an entirely original design, which will suggest this school by shape as well as by color and lettering. The task of obtaining such a pin seems a great one, but we believe that there is sufficient ingenuity and originality in the University to accomplish it. Can some one suggest a plan for developing this latent ability? Geo. Davies STUDENT'S TAILOR FAXON, THE SHOE MAN. Has new lines of shoes for young men, One, a narrow square toe with tip, the "Yale."

STREET CHAPEL EXERCISES The faculty committee having charge of the religious exercises has held a meeting and has planned its work for this fall. The members wish to have the full and hearty cooperation of all members of the faculty in their religious work. All professors are urged to attend chapel regularly, notonly on account of the benefit to be derived by themselves from regular attendance, but also because of the greater interest taken in the chapel exercises by the students when the faculty attend regularly. The speakers in chapel are to be members of the faculty and preachers, both from Lawrence and from other places. The length of the address will be limited to from seven to ten minutes. If selections of Scripture are read by the one conducting the exercises their application will be made clear. The committee wishes to keep the muscle up to a high standard and, with this purpose in view, they will endeavor to raise money enough by voluntary contribution to purchase five stringed instruments, to be the property of the University. The members of the faculty will be expected to contribute a dollar or more each, and students will be expected to contribute twenty-five cents apiece, if they feel interested in securing good music for chapel. For vocal music there will be two quartets, already partly organized, which will sing on alternate mornings. No paints will be spared to make the exercises so valuable and pleasant as to cause a largely increased attendance. Let the students take an active part in this matter and make our chapel service an honor to the University. MARCELLA HOWLAND Miss Marcela Howland died last Sunday morning at five o'clock. The announcement of her death was a great shock to all her friends, for although she had been very sick for a little more than a week, it did not seem possible that this promising young life was to pass on so soon to another plane of existence. Miss Howland was the elder daughter of Rev, C. G., Howland, pastor of Unity church. She graduated from Kansas University in 1890, and spent the years '91 and '92 in Bryn Mawr College. Since then she has been at home in Lawrence and has devoted much of her time and energy to assisting her father in church and parish work. The funeral was held at Unity church on Tuesday afternoon at four o'clock, Dr. Cordley, of Plymouth church conducted the services. The friends of Herbert H. Johnson, of "94," will be pleased to learn that he has been elected captain of a troop of cavalry. The cavalry troop mustered is Troop A. First Brigade Kansas National Guard. Mr. Johnson's first military experience was in the Kansas State Agricultural College battalion in 1888. The Governor's Troops. The next year he was a member of the Channey bittalion, Boston, Mass., where in April he was made junior 1st lieutenant and quartermaster. In October, in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology he received a 1st lieutenant's commission, in the corps of cadets of that institution. STUDENTS The Art Museum has ordered a series of four hundred plates of Greek and Roman master pieces which will be the best ever secured by the University. They were selected by the late Prof. Brunn, of Munich, the best authority upon ancient sculpture. For the Art Museum Wanted CONSULT 500 students to know that Nixon fixes up a first-class picture for 90 cents □ WE believe that the committee on chapel services has taken an important step toward making chapel more useful, in resolving to try to induce a larger attendance of members of the faculty. The committee is quite right in thinking that the chapel exercises would benefit and interest all of the professors. Then too, the influence upon the students of the attendance of the faculty will be great. The processor is to a remarkable degree the model of his pupil. SPECIALISTS.

THE enrollment of students at the University is a surprise, and a pleasant one to everybody. The natural expectations were that, after this season of drought, hard times, poor crops and low prices, the attendance would be small—that at most it would not exceed the attendance of last year. But the enrollment as is, stated in another column, already larger than it was at the corresponding time last year, and is growing daily. It begins to look as though there might be considerable truth in the statement made last Friday morning by Chancellor Snow just before introducing Mr. Ware, that the boys are all coming back this fall because there is no corn-husking to keep them at home. THE experience of this fall seems to indicate that the growth of Kansas University is now no longer directly dependent upon Kansas weather and Kansas crops. Notwithstanding the various calamities—which fail to the lot of Kansas from time to time, Kansans are gradually becoming more prosperous. They are collecting reserve funds with which to tide themselves over unfavorable years; therefore the sons and daughters can be better educated and kept in school through good and bad years and when education is within reach no one seizes it more eagerly than the Kansan. Furthermore, as Kansas University becomes better equipped and better known it attracts a class of students which formerly went to the eastern colleges, when these were so far ahead of the home institution in reputation and facilities. No college in all England publishes a college paper. LOOK. LOOK. To Students Only 10 Baths. 10 Shaves. $2.00 Powell's Borber Shop Journal Building 710 Massachusetts Street BOYS!

The STUDENTS JOURNAL is the students' paper. The Kansas State University begins its present scholastic year with 200 more students than ever before. This proves the popularity of the school and is evidence also of the nonexistence of the old sort of "hard times" which was always shown first by taking the boys and girls out of the "pay schools." There is plenty of money in the country for the purposes of education. All the universities, colleges and seminaries are full.-Kansas City star. Miss Nannie Pugh of Strong City, who graduated in the class of '97 from the State University, has returned from a year in Europe and will accept a chair at Wellesley college in Massachusetts. The Kansas girl is always up to the excellent mark set by the Kansas boy.-Kansas City Star. Two more boarders wanted at 1001 Pa., street. $2.50 per week.

Let everybody take an interest in our foot ball team, and do all he can, to make it the best in the west. Mr. E. S. Tucker who was married during the summer vacation, will resume his work at the University soon. R. W. Hogeboehm has withdrawn from the University. He will go with his brother to Rush Medical college, Chicago. Parliamentarians in the Freshman class, are too numerous to mention. This should not be taken as a hit on the upper classmens. The other day a travelling man said that Lawrence is the most thriving city in Kansas. It is the students that make it so. Miss Eva Scholer will not return to Kansas University this year. She is teaching music, painting and Delsarte at her home at Wamego. Last Saturday evening a crowd of students took possession of Massachusetts street. Judging from appearances new students are already "enthusused" with University spirit. The K. U. boys, who started Wednesday for Harvard will go by way of Niagara Falls and and the Hudson river. They will stop a day, or two at the Falls and will go by boat on the Hudson. Since Baker won't let her students play foot ball, there is a plan to organize a team and call it the Baldwin C team; of course the Baker students will be the ones who will play in the team, but in this way the students hope to thwart the ruling of the Baker trustees. The Freshmen class held their first meeting yesterday afternoon, and elected the following officers: President, Hilliard Johnson; Vice-President, A. G. Grant; Secretary, Nellie Criss; Treasurer, Alfred Parrott; Sergeant-at-arms, Charles Loomis; Representative of Lecture Bureau, Wilkie Clock; Manager of Base-Ball, D. J. Fair; Manager Foot-Ball, Charles Loomis. Among the many athletic sports which have attracted the American youth during the late athletic rage there is no game in which more pleasure can be obtained and less injuries to life and limb received than at the game of ten pins. Martin's bowling alley invites your presence any time during the day and until early bed time in the evening. Prices are offered for the best scores in the various games. Another Triumph for Kansas University. Mather Temple for Kansas University. It was reported at the beginning of the term that Mr. M. E. Rice, assistant in physics and mathematics, would resign his position in this University to accept a Fellowship in Physics at the university of Chicago. The STUDENTS JOURNAL, Journs, however that Mr. Rice has decided not to accept the proffered Fellowship at present. The offer came about in this way: Mr. Rice went to the university of Chicago last summer to do special work in physics under Professor Michelson, who is one of the world's best authorities in optics. Professor Michelson was so well pleased with Mr. Rice's mathematical and technical ability that, at the end of six weeks, he asked the unixerity to create in his department a special Fellowship to be given to Mr. Rice for two years. This is another triumph for Kansas University; for it is well known that the University of Chicago is deluged with applications from young men and women from all parts of the country. The offer will remain open indemnitely, and Mr. Rice thinks that he will accept in next year. Oraldo Lio HECTOR COWAN. Athleties. The boys are working hard but the team does not show the strength that it did the first week last year. Hassig shows marked ability for tackle and will be out again with the boys chasing the "pig skin." The reason for this lies in the fact that three of our heaviest men are waiting for their suits as we have none on hand that will fit them. Baker university will not have a foot ball team this year, but the foot ball men will organize what will be known as the Baldwin Athletic club. The faculty cannot prevent them from joining this athletic club and games will be arranged for all the legal holidays. The foot ball men have gone into actual training, and many a sigh is heard when the boys heard that "solid comfort" (smoking) is no more. Carl Kipton is out every evening throwing curves. He will be a candidate for senior pitcher in the seniororg game next spring. The training table started Monday evening at North College. The boys lined up at the table, headed by Mr. Cowan and our Captain Willie, as follows: Shellenbarger, Loomis, Pope, Foster, Hester, Stone, Steinberger, Armor, Morrison and Cowman. Crafts took a flying trip home, but is now back and ready to play foot ball again. He will make a strong and able guard. Engineering Notes. The juniors taking field engineering begin to lay out railroads last Satu- r. The civil engineering society held its first meeting last Wednesday. The object of the meeting was the organization of the society. The electrics began shop practice last Monday. The shop has been fixed up some since last year. The new boilers have been fitted up in running order and some new dynamos have been added. E. Bert Smith, formerly a student at Kansas University but now engraver for the Kansas City World, was visiting among friends on the hill last Friday. Owing to business in the draughting room, he was unable to lead Chapel. The class in mechanics was inconvenienced considerably on account of being unable to obtain books at the book stores. The draughting rooms are well filled this year. A small motor has been placed at the well, south of the power house to pump water for the engines. Lloyd Duffee, a last year's graduate is aspiring to be township clerk. Warren Edwards is back on a short visit. Professor Blake was called to the east last Tuesday to look after works on the sea telephony apparatus. Notice! Mrs. Dudley Haskell invites the Woman's Leage and young ladies connected with the University, for the afternoon Saturday, September 29th, at her residence, east of town. Joint Debate. The Faculty has accepted Nebraska's proposition, given in the STUDENTS JOURNAL two weeks ago, in regard to joint debates and has appointed a committee to make arrangements for selecting our debaters. Professors Hopkins, Carruth, and Wilcox are the Faculty members of the committee. The further members are to be a representative from each of the four classes and from each of the debating societies. The committee is to meet at 1201 Tennessee street at twelve o'clock tomorrow to formulate plans. Two students can obtain good board and furnished room in a respectable private family for $2.50 per week at 100 Pa, street. THE STUDENTS JOURNAL. PUBLISHED WEEKLY Bv the Students Journal Pub. Go. R.

WE give to our readers, in another column, the poem which Hon. Eugene F. Ware recited in concluding his address at the opening of the University. It is quite short but in it—so Mr. Ware thinks, and wengree with him—lies the key to success. ey to success. IT is the intention of the STUDENTS JOURNAL to avoid discussion of the library fee; first, because the subject has already been fully considered, pro and con, and hence further discussion can serve only to stir up hard feeling, and second, because further discussion of the question is likely to make the University unpopular among the people of Kansas by spreading abroad passionate and exaggerated statements made by partisans on both sides of the question. However, it would be unjustifiable silence to allow manifestly unfair and partisan statements to pass unreubaked. EVERY one connected with the University has heard, with pleasure, of the action of the University Council upon the petition, which we mentioned last week, presented to it by the faculty of the School of Arts. This petition prayed for the abolition of the Wednesday half holiday, and the request was granted by the Council. During the months when the Wednesday half holiday was on trial it proved itself a most thorough nuisance, both to professors and to students. The principal purpose for which it was established—to bring the boys out to the physical culture classes on Saturdays—never seemed to us to warrant the great inconvenience caused to so many persons. Experience has now shown us that the old plan of five whole days of school and a whole holiday each week is based upon something more than mere custom. We have yet to hear of the person who is not glad to have the the Wednesday half holiday done away with. We have the satisfactory of giving our readers, in this issue, the promised supplement in memory of the late Charles Robinson. It has seemed fitting that the STUDENTS JOURNAL, the paper that represents the school toward the advancement of which Governor Robinson exerted so much influence, should devote considerable space to a review of his work, now that his labor here is over. As we have before explained, unavoidable circumstances have made it impossible to obtain a sufficiently comprehensive review in time for publication in an earlier issue. We believe, however, that our readers will be glad that we have waited, for now we publish articles from the pens of two old and intimate friends of the late Governor Robinson, Chancellor F. H. Snow and Rev. Richard Cordley. We know of no one better fitted to write on their respective subjects than are these two men. Their articles do not seek to present Charles Robinson, the public man,—this has already been done by the newspapers of the of the country—but rather they seek to give such less known phases of his life and work as will be of especial interest to all persons interested in the University of Kansas. The portrait is an excellent likeness of our late friend and patron as he has appeared of late years. CANNOT some one suggest a plan for preventing the loss of time now caused by waiting for the arrival of text books? At the beginning of every term of the University there are classes which are obliged to wait for several days before they can begin their work because the necessary books must be ordered from some eastern dealer. It seems difficult to suggest a cure for this evil because it does not seem possible to fix the blame upon any one party. The local book dealers secure from the professors lists of the text books to be used in their departments and also 'the number of students likely to be enrolled in each class. Upon these estimates of the number of students the book men base their orders, but they are of course very careful not to get too many books. They prefer to be upon the safe side and order too few, for a few books left upon their hands would consume all their profit. They cannot be sure of a sale even by carrying the surplus books until the next year for, in order to always use the best and latest authority, the professors must often make changes in their lists of texts. It does not seem possible to put the blame for the present conditions upon either book dealers or professors; neither can it be placed upon the shoulders of the students, for they generally do not know just what courses they will take nor what books they will need until the first or second day of the term, at the earliest. What can be done? On last Friday the first issue, for this year, of the University Courier appeared, to gladden the hearts and inform the minds of the students. We note this fact carefully and call the attention of our readers to it, because we feel that we have a debt of gratitude to acknowledge. The indebtedness is so great, however, that we have no hopes of ever repaying it we can only acknowledge our obligation. For fear, however, that our readers may not at once discern the reason for our thankfulness to the Courier, we hasten to state that we are thankful because of the publication in its editorial columns of a remarkably clear, fair, logical, and broad-minded dissertation upon the library fee matter. This article sets beyond any possible doubt the question of the legality of the fee by declaring it legal. For the information of those who are unacquainted with the facts let us state that during his first year in the University the editor of the Courier was registered as taking a course preparatory to this. We, suppose, is what enables him to settle off hand a legal question concerning which several old and experienced lawyers are said to hold entirely different views. But the fee being legal, every one should pay it, for every one should obey the fee by declaring it legal. They might say every one should obey the law by not paying it. However, such illogical and evil argument is actually refuted by the Courier's cry of "traitor." It is further shown that the fee is right and should be paid by the students because the like amount of money cannot be obtained elsewhere. A truly unassailable argument! But the same argument will justify the highwayman. All patriotic students, who have the interest of the University at heart will gladly contribute the sum required. Those who will not are self-seeking scoundrels, seeking maliciously to injure the school. It matters not that the leaders of the movement oppose the fee because they claim that it is contrary to the spirit of the public school system, of which the University is the head, and that it is not for the ultimate good of the institution. No, no; such arguments will not avail. Those who advance them are "disgruntled politicians" trying to "help themselves into prominence;" they "love selfishness enough to care for themselves first and the University last;" they are dead to all feeling of patriotism; they are "traitors." Long life and much glory to the Courier for having boldly unmask these Benedict Arnolds. Each succeeding year more and more of the graduates of Kansas University go to eastern schools to carry or their special lines of work further that can be done here or to study branches not yet thoroughly taught in the West. This movement will continue to increase as long as the Kansas people continue to become more prosperous, financially, and better educated; nor will it cease when Kansas educational institutions attain to as high rank as is held by the eastern schools. The sole advantage which an eastern school has for westerners does not consist of its greater number of professors and courses, nor of its better material equipment. These do not even constitute its principal advantage. Its great value to the westerner lies in the very fact that it is located in the East. The Kansan attending Harvard is made a broader man by the local influence and by the influence of his fellow students, gathered from all parts of the country. He becomes more truly a citizen of the United States and le s of a provincial Kansan. In becoming a truer American he becomes also a better Kansan, and this is one of the most needed things in our country, that we should become broad patrolts instead of narrow partizans, working for the selfish advantage of a single state or district. It seems far better, however, for the western boy and girl to remain in the West and until they have studied for two or three years at least, in some institution of higher learning. If they go East sooner they will have very little idea of what their own state is, knowing but the one little locality around their homes. Then too, the change from the common school to the college is the most trying period in the life of the student and the change is made with less danger and discomfort under circumstances and among surroundings differing but little from those to which the student is accustomed than among strange surroundings. After a few years in college near home the student may safely be sent further away to obtain a broader acquaintance with the world. The time will come when the same arguments which we have mentioned in favor of the western going to an eastern college will be seen to be equally pertinent as reasons why the easterner should come to school. The East, proud of its older civilization and culture, will be slow to see the force of these arguments, but the time must come. Snow Hall. Prof. Williston has just completed the work on West Indian Diptera which has occupied much of his time for the past three years. He will send the last of the manuscript for the work to England in a few days. He expects to get out next year a Manual of Diptera, which will be a revision of a former work, or rather a rewritten work based upon a smaller book of the professor's, which is now in use in all of the principal entomological laboratories of this country. The work in which Professor Willisim is most interested at present is the restoration of the sabre-toot tiger upon which he has been working for some time. This tiger is an entirely new species and may perhaps be a new genus as well. It has never before been found in the geological formation in which which this particular specimen was discovered. E. S. Riggs is doing special work on this subject and the winter or spring number of the University Quarterly will contain a restoration of the tiger and an article concerning it. The systematic botany class have been giving their attention to bacteria the past week. Prof. Dyche 'will remain in New York a short time A freshman started down the tobogan slide of the lecture room the other day but landed safely against a pillar. Prof. Williston is giving the class in vertebrate anatomy a few lectures on human osteology. The students taking the preparatory medical course or preparing for it, received the news of the future establishment of a medical school as a department of the university with delight. No one was quite so happy yesterday morning as was Miss Watson our competent and obliging librarian, for her new kingdom was opened to the students then. Of course, having a beautiful new building all her own, she feels herself to be the most favored—and most important—member of the faculty. Spooner Library Building. All parts of the building are not yet ready for occupancy, but the principal rooms, the reading-room and stack-room, are completed. The seminary room of the department of history and sociology is the only one now ready for use, but four others will soon be fitted up for use by various other departments. There are in all seven rooms that may be used for seminary rooms but only five will be fitted up now, as the other two are not needed. These seminary rooms will be very convenient, as in each one of them will be kept the most necessary books used by the students in the department to which that particular seminary room belongs. We publish in another place the rules for their use, as well as for the stack-room and reading-room. The alcoves along the south side of the reading-room will also be found to be great conveniences. A large audience met in room 15 last. Friday at four o'clock to hear what Professor Blackmar had to say on the economic effects of the Pullman strike. After waiting for some time, during which Professor Blackmar did not appear, Professor Hodder dismissed the disappointed audience. Later inquiry showed that Professor Blackmar was taken suddenly sick a short time before four o'clock. He was able to meet classes on Monday, however, and today he will give the promised address upon the Pullman strike. Historical Seminary.

As long as the meadows may bloom, and as long as the brooks may run. The brain will forever be winning as brains... never won. Commanding the battle of life till the battle of life is done. Commanding the battle of life till the battle of life is done. No! No! The idea is error: The brain never wins the fight: Its contests are seldom decided, its reasoning rarely right; The multitude watches its failures and ridicules with delight. But long as the grass may be growing, and long as the waters run. The heart will forever be winning, as hearts forever have won. Commanding the battle of life till the battle of life is done. [Eugene F. Ware] Tonight Our Study Window is ablaze with light. We see a large gayly decorated room filled with people surging to and fro. The bright and various costumes and to the brilliancy of the gas jets and increase the attractiveness of the picture. Sweet strains of music and the babble of tongues, in faint echo, come to our ear. The throng presses near; there is a restless movement in the room; introductions here, introductions there; a few remarks of light nature and then a movement forward. The people, most of them, at least, are evidently strangers and unable to advance in a conversational way beyond the mere trivialities of an introduction. There seems to be no hostess or entertainment committee; the reception is given by the R. C. Society. Two figures stand out in prominence from the crowd; Those of a young lady and gentleman. They have run through the commonplaces concerning the weather, the night, the occasion, have shifted about for some common ground of interest, but have not found it. Still they stand glued to the floor and to each other, both wishing to be away, both unable to move. "Do you belong to the R. C. S."? The gentleman asked the question and asked it in the most uncompromising manner, ready to accept only one answer. Two other figures next appear in the foreground; again those of a boy and girl. A boy? A man in years perhaps, but a boy in social experience. He likes to meet people, but doesn't quite know what to say to them. He is conscious that he is not particularly well dressed, that his shoes squeak: but he doesn't care, perhaps there is even a little touch of pride in his independence. "No. I don't," answered the girl with a slight toss of the head that seemed to say, "I wouldn't belong to it." She tried to restrain the toss and the accompanying implication, but it was called forth by the unyielding behavior of her questioner. The young man stands rigidly silent. He has his opinion of the young woman who wouldn't belong to the R.C.S. The girl looks at her hands in a bored, rather than embarrassed manner. She has her opinion of the young man who disapproves her conduct in not joining the R.C.S. But the crowd soon separates them; they are lost to view. The girl, a bright little creature, is doing her best to perform the social task imposed upon her. There is a strong suggestion of "huffiness" about her; hair, dress and manner all help to form it. She talks in a gay, energetic manner, but her eyes are on the young man in the farther end of the room, attired in evening dress, already surrounded by a cluster of young ladies. Her companion answers her in monosyllables and keeps his eyes fixed upon her. He has a feeling that at any minute she may spread wings and fly away; "the little butterfly," he has mentally named her. He plainly doesn't know what to do with a girl of that kind, would like to dismiss her with "there, run away, little, girl and play with your dolls." And she would certainly appreciate a more talkative companion. At this point we begin to wonder what the object of this course? There is nodding, smiling, low murmuring of polite phrases, but no one seems to be really enjoying himself. A meets B, but casts furtive glance at C, he would like so much to meet C. And C meets D, but hates to talk to a person who has no social gloss; it makes her feel so conspicuous. Ah, we believe we have it now. The object of the R. C. Society i sto place people i in difficult and trying positions. This experience will sit them for the struggle of life; it will "harden them to the rough ways of the world," as English educators say when they defend the blanket-tossing and similar abuses to which public school boys are subject. But stay, who comes yonder? A girl, tall and slender; she is well dressed, but with no show of affection. She is not conscious of her hands, her face shows no trace of embarrassment or chagrin. With a quiet, gentle movement she passes from one to another, speaking to everyone alike. "I am very glad to see you," her eyes often say, but her lips use the phrase sparingly. Is she fitting herself for contact with the great and greedy world? We do not know. She does not know herself. It is well to know people, she feels that. She is going to meet and talk with as many as she can—not talk for effect, or only with those who can sustain their part of a brilliant conversation. But she really wants to know what other people think, to contrast their views with her own. She does not know that this will do any good, still she feels it may open some way to good. "It is opportunity, not much, a little." The brilliance of Our Study Window begins to fade. The crowd breaks into groups, and in the subdued light we seem to see the tall slender girl in the center of every group. She talks in gay conversation for a few minutes with the sprightly young man in the dress suit, she stays longer with the girl in the corner who doesn't seem to be having a very good time. The light grows dimmer. The groups assume pigmy shapes; the tall girl is taller, grander. "It is opportunity, not much, a little," the appealing look in her eyes seems to say. And the strains of muse in dying faintness seem to repeat, "it is opportunity, not much, a little." Editor Students Journal: In the University Courier of September 14th, 1894, is an editorial in which is used strong language and wild statements regarding an "organized effort" opposing the library fee manifested at the opening of the school year. And since that article can by no means allude to me, for the organized effort was made before I reached Lawrence, and since new students ought to hear both sides of this question I beg an opportunity to show the other side. The writer says: "A few disgruntled politicians wishing to help themselves into prominence made an organized effort against the library fee." It is remarkably strange that students cannot stand up for what they consider right without an editor of a college paper denouncing them "as disgruntled politicians helping themselves into prominence." Undoubtedly those students have as strong a sense of justice as any man on the Courier staff, and any criticism from the Courier ought at least, to be fair. In that article sweeping assertions are made, thus: "The law is on the side of the payment of the fee." Will the writer of that article please look at the General Statutes of Kansas, 1889, Section 6282? Any one able to read can there see. "Admission shall be free to all the inhabitants of the state." Now, Mr. Editor, what was the library fee last year but an "admission fee?" What can it ever be but a "contingent fee?" Would it do to pose it as a "tuition fee?" This statement of law being plain, is it for the best interests of the state that University students be taught by the example of those, supposed to teach only that which makes us better men and women, a total disregard for law? Even the Courier would not advocate that. Another general assertion too ridiculous for serious consideration is this: "Right is on the side of the fee." 'Tis strange that "right," is such an incomprehensive thing that only the editorial staff of the Courier can comprehend it; strange that a man of the editor's intellectual strength should allow such a statement to pose as his editorial when the University intended, by the will of the tax-payers expressed by law and generous appropriations, for all students rich or poor, capable of enjoying its advantages, and when it is their further will and pleasure that no further obstacles shall be thrown in the paths of self-supporting students than are absolutely necessary. But the illusive statement just quoted is supported by this: "The appropriation of 1893 was insufficient to even partially supply the University for more books." No one feels like criticising the English of the editorial, yet if the writer had taken the trouble to compare the appropriations for the library in former years with that of 1893, he would have learned that the appropriation $2,500, for that year, was double any preceding year. Is the Courier so discontented that it would advocate a further increase of $2,500 to $8,500 would be exacted in an illegal manner? "The wants of the library are self-evident." That is precisely what our legislators thought or they would never have doubled our library appropriation, thereby showing the willingness on the part of Kansas to support a University library for all, worthy of the State University. We are further told: "They appealed to the patriotism of the student." Surely it was a peculiar "appeal" when we are told to pay the fee, or not register, go whence we come. A man is not begged to leave when kicked out. Had the library fee been asked as an "appeal", to the students to tide the University over for a year or two even the poorest of our students would have contributed loyalty, to the best of their ability. But this is the worse: "The appeal was resented by those who consider selfishness first and the University last. Such traitors were left unheeded, etc." Disloyalty to our University is a harsh term to use toward a University student: traitor grates on his ears. Is any one who tries to bring hardworking students here by endeavoring to reduce expenses considered disloyal to the University's best interests? Is he a "traitor" to our institution when he tries to do what every faithful friend of the University ought to do, fill our newly erected buildings with energetic students to use our well equipped laboratories and the newly erected library? The editor-in-chief of the Courier admits that the article in question was a miscellaneous one," written by several persons, for which he must stand responsible; but when a man's character and reputation is assailed by such slanderous writing, it is high time that an editor-in-chief should observe the contents of his editorial column before such an article appears in print. ELI CANN. RULES FOR USE OF THE LIBRARY. All students have access to the reading-room and newspaper room. They may use freely the encyclopedias, dictionaries, card catalogues, periodicals and newspapers. Any of the books from the stack-room may be had upon application at the delivery desk and read in the reading-room. Taking Books Home. Books which are not reserved may be taken home for three weeks. If held out longer than that time a fine of five cents a day until returned will be imposed. Use of Alcoyes. The four alcoves on the south side of the reading-room are reserved, for the exclusive use of students engaged in a special investigation requiring a large number of reference books. The privilege to use one of these alcoves can be obtained from the librarian upon recommendation of the instructor, under whom the work is being done. In the Book-Stack The penalty for the violation of one or more of these rules is the forfeiture of the privilege of the use of the book-stack. When neither the catalogue nor the librarian can furnish necessary information in regard to desired subject matter, juniors and seniors may consult the books on the shelves. The stack-room is not built to accommodate readers, therefore, do not remain there any longer than is necessary to find the book needed, otherwise it will become crowded. If any book is taken from the stack- room even for a few moments, it must be charged at the delivery desk. On entering the stack-room all books must be left in the reading room, except, perhaps, a note book. If, after taking a book from the shelf, anyone is uncertain where to replace it put it on the delivery desk rather than misplace it. Not to consult the books on the books on the shelves too frequently; not to remain in the stack-room too long; to avoid misplacing books upon the shelves; to be sure to inform the librarian or assistant if a book is taken from the stack-room. Therefore for the general good of al using the library, the main points fo each one to remember are: It is difficult to use a large number of books in common with many people unless each person use very great care.

Having had, in years past, some experience as a student in the rural districts of Indiana, boarding with and without clubs—without a club, when keeping bachelor's hall,—and I found during the time of school days that the item of board was small compared with incidentals—a thousand and one little useless articles—besides, the dispating habits draw upon the purse, which in a short time becomes depleted, when the youthful mind is compelled to draw upon the grand old sire, whose curiosity is soon awakened by the exravagance of his offspring, who will ask, as a parent should, why this great outlay? The only excuse is, the board, room and necessaries have to be met. Awaken from this ancient behavior ye rural boys from mountains, swamps and plauses, and dig up ground honor by the lock, and, and long may the genial uction of intellectual culture brighten on the illusion fields of undying felicity, and may thy conception be so acute to discern the difference in buying your eatables that you can readily see the contrast between buying of the Indiana Cash Grocery or credit house.

On September 10th an application for a charter for a new Methodist university was filed with the Secretary of State in Missouri. The school will be located near Kansas City, probably in the neighborhood of Chelsea Park, if Kansas City people will give satisfactory financial support. The directors state that they expect to invest fifty thousand dollars in erecting buildings already planned. They will probably be given thirty acres of land for their camps, beside money contributions toward the buildings. Why do not men who have money to to spend in building colleges devote it to improving struggling schools—of their denomination, if they chose—instead of founding more separate institutions? There is a rule in Chicago University that requires any student absent from classes thirty times during the year to take an extra course for the next, year. This would hardly be effective at K, U, where the greatest happiness for some students lies in taking two or three terms more work in a year than is required. The fact that there are no college papers published in England is somewhat hard to account for but does not lessen in the least the value of the American college papers of which there are over 200 published in the United States. Messrs Allen and Sachtleben the two young men who crossed Asia on their bicycles, are publishing in the Century articles descriptive of their trip. They started from Washington University, St. Louis in 1800. The University of Chicago is to publish a magazine similar to the Century, to be called the Lake Side Magazine. It is to become a rival of the Century as a representative of the thoughts and tendencies of the age. —Ex. We are glad to learn from the Lawrence Journal that Dr. Murlin's hair has a tinge of red, as this will be the best possible recommendation for him to the old students of Laker. And we trust that the Doctor is richly endowed with all the qualities which so endeared his predecessor, President Quayle, to all who knew him. The oldest university in the world is said to be the University of Fez, the chief seat of Mahometan theology in the western world,—Ex. Chaucey M. Depew says that a college education adds three hundred per cent to a man's productive powers. This seems to be the belief of most men of wide experience. In a recent issue of the Prometheus of Berlin, reference is made to the Kansas University quarterly. Another illustration of how our fame extendeth even into-etc. In a recent number of the Leavenworth Post, a German daily, half a column is devoted to a very appreciative article on the University. Among the instructors who have studied in Germany, Professor Newson, who is a pupil of the great German mathematicians Sophus Lie of Conn and Felix Klein of Gottingen, is especially mentioned. The article says of the future—we translate freely: "If the people and the authorities continue to support their jewel, the State University, in their usual whole-hearted manner" the time is not far distant when it will stand upon the same high plane with the European universities of well known reputation." The Agricultural College at Manhattan, on account of its having the State Experiment Station receives $15,000 annually from the United States Departure of Agriculture. The station issued, in 1882, eight bulletins; on various subjects of special interest to farmers. President Eliot, of Harvard, in a recent address advised students to thus apportion their day: Study ten hours, sleep eight hours, exercise two hours, social duties one hour, and meals three hours.—Ex. The Yale Lit is the oldest monthly periodical in this country, and an editorship is of the highest literary honors to be gained at Yale. The M. S. U. Independent says: "Some magnificent foot-ball material is here this year." And in another column "Kansas has a theological coach for her foot-ball teams. They have been in the field for some weeks." Kansas hasn't been in the field for "some weeks" but she is in now, and has come to stay. We are glad to see that Missouri is interested. Geo.

Everything is booming this year The University is starting out with a rush that contrasts most favorably with the spirit of the last few years. The same spirit is to be seen about Lawrence. Bismarck Fair which will be held at Bismarck Grove from the 24th to the 29th of this month is a fit representative of the returning good times. The enterprise of the management is shown by the many special features that will be added to the regular ones. Besides the farm, stock and machinery exhibits, which are seen at all fairs, there will be a fine speed ring. On the political days, the students will have the opportunity of hearing the foremost representatives of the different political parties of Kansas. The men who will speak are orators of fine reputation such as the Hon. David Overmeyer, and the Hon. J. R Burton. The military battalions of Haskell Institute will be in camp during the Fair, and show what good soldiers the red-skins are. The Lawrence Cycling Club, whose members belong to the National League of American Wheelmen, have arranged for a series of bicycle races, and fast men have already made known their intention of entering. In fact we believe our students will think it fortunate that they came to Lawrence, if only to attend this Fair. Admission is twenty-five cents. Bismark Grove is reached by the Lawrence Street Car Line, and is one of the most beautiful natural forests in Kansas. THE PRIESTS OF PALLAS Invite You to their Grand Parade at Kansas City. Did you have the good fortune to see the Priests of Pallas Parade at Kansas City last year? A wonderful sight, wasn't it? Those gay floats, with their gorgeous trappings and wired effects; the pretty women and children, the fireworks, music and crowd—they are well worth the trip, even if you did come some distance. This year, Tuesday, October 2nd, the management promise brilliant, artistic effects, such as Kansas City never before witnessed. Colored fire works and calcium lights will turn night into day, and the best bands of Kansas and Missouri will furnish sweet music. You can get there most comfortably via the Santa Fe Route. Tickets will only cost one fare for round trip. Special train returning after the marue.

St. W THE STUDENTS JOURNAL Of Kansas State University. SUPPLEMENT. CHARLES ROBINSON- During the vacation which has just closed the State of Kansas and every citizen thereof has been called upon to mourn the death of a friend. Not a friend in the sense of a companion but **in** the better and truer sense of a counselor and a generous benefactor. No institution in the State of Kansas has more cause to feel a sense of loss than the University of Kansas. No individual has more reason for grief than the instructor, the student, or the employee who is in any way connected with the University. In the following paragraphs it is not intended that formal history shall be interwoven. The newspapers and magazines of the State and Nation have already chronicled the principal facts in the life of Gov. Robinson. I shall merely note personal incidents which go farther to show the real man than the public history. I shall give a few such facts as are often repeated by one man to another after the death of a mutual friend. We were all his friends. Some of his friends may have been more intimate with him than others and as one who knew him well I esteem it a privilege to be granted this opportunity of relating a few of the many occurrences which have come under my personal notice. Charles Robinson came to my native town of Fitchburg, Mass., when I was so young that I but dimly remember the occasion. He was fresh from college, having received his degree of M.D. He occupied as his office a room in my father's house and made his home there for several years. While in Fitchburg he gave evidence of his great-heartedness and generosity. He was universally respected for his manhood and nobility of character. I then learned to look upon him as the truest friend and ally, one to whom I could go for advice and help. He was actively associated with my father in the anti-slavery and total abstinence movements in the early days of those great reforms. In 1840, Dr. Robinson, as we called him, decided to go to California. In company with others he landed where Kansas City now stands. The party was obliged to travel overland in wagons and from Kansas City westward was in constant danger of attacks from Indians. Dr. Robinson was soon booked upon as the leader on account of his fearlessness, coolness, and unerring judgment. He carried a note-book in which he entered from time to time his impressions concerning the country through which he was passing and various note-worthy incidents. When the party approached the present site of Lawrence he climbed Mount Oread in advance of his companions. He was so pleased with the magnificent landscape which presented itself, even more beautiful than now, that he wrote in his book: "If I were not on a starvation trip to California I would stop here now." He determined to return and did return at the beginning of the great struggle to save Kansas and the Nation from slavery, pre-empting a quarter section of land a part of which forms the present University campus. the slavery element and the time for war and bloodshed had ended, Gov. Robinson turned his attention to the more peaceful upbuilding of Kansas. He recognized at once that the greatest need was for schools, not primary and common schools alone, but for institutions which would afford future generations opportunities for high and liberal education. During the entire war struggle it seems that he never lost sight of a purpose, formed upon his first arrival in Kansas, of doing all in his power to found a university. The last mention of his name in connection with the University of Kansas is when Amos A. Lawrence, of Boston, employed him to commence the erection of a school building on Mount Oread. This building was begun on the sight of North College. Then Gov. Robinson was made one of the two trustees who were given charge of ten thousand dollars by Mr. Lawrence to be held in trust for the "Lawrence University." Again he is mentioned as one of the directors of a college of high grade to be organized by the Presbyterian church. Next he is named as one of the trustees of the "Lawrence University" in a charter granted by the legislature in 1850. In 1863 the legislature voted to establish the State University at Lawrence provid- the accomplishment of his life's chief desire. This disposition of his property makes clear to the people of Kansas into what channel the Governor himself would have desired their memorial of his distinguished life and services to be directed. The story of his return and the part he cook in the Kansas conflict is an oft repeated tale to every man or woman who has had any insight whatever into early Kansas history. It is sufficient to say that never did he in all that struggle, for a moment so forget himself as to do anything that he afterwards had reason to regret. His nobleness and mainly straightforward bearing and conduct won for him the admiration of friend and ooie alike. Isaac T. Goodnow, who wrote the introduction to Gov. Robinson's book "The Kansas Conflict," relates an incident which illustrates this universal respect better than anything I might mention. Goodnow says: "For Dr. Robinson the border ruffians had great respect, and when at Lawrence they had seized the polls and driven all other Free-State men away, on his approach they cried out. Here comes the Doctor; let him vote," and the way was cleared. Even in that terrible massacre during the Lawrence raid, and when the Doctor slowly retired from his barn to the brow of Mount Oread where several of Quantell's men were on guard, they did not molest him. There was a certain something, a strange commanding influence, a presence that neutralized for the time being any power to harm." When the state had been freed from But it was not only for his gifts to the University but also for his generosity to individuals that he is especially remembered. When I came to Lawrence in 1860 to take the chair in the new university, which had been tendered me through the influence of him who had been my friend from boyhood, it was with the consciousness that I had in Kansas a friend who would aid me in peace and stand by me in trouble. That I was not mistaken Gov. Robinson fully proved. During those first years of uncertainty and struggle his cheerful encouragement and kindly advice were a constant source of inspiration. There were critical moments when if he had for an instant hesitated to work for the University, and had ceased to take an active interest in its growth, the institution might have been compelled to take its place among the numerous "Lawrence Universities" which have existed for a year but to fail. Gov. Robinson enjoyed giving more than any man I ever knew. He gave J. H. B. CHARLES ROBinson. Born, July 21, 1818; Died August 17, 1894. ing the city would in addition to other requirements furnish forty acres of land to be used for a university campus. This the city could not have done had not Gov. Robinson come forward with the proposition to furnish the required amount of land. This tract of land forms the present campus. It is well here to note that twenty-one acres of this land were secured by Mrs. Robinson, who always efficiently aided the Governor in every undertaking. The final application of his large experience will be written and University will decide not to bring about The University was thus given a start. After considerable delay in arranging financial affairs satisfactorily, a charter was granted by the legislature for the government of the University. Gov. Robinson was appointed a member of the first Board of Regents. As a Regent he always took an active interest in University affairs. This interest he maintained until his death. In addition to this gift of the original campus Gov. Robinson has, at various times, made other donations of almost equal value. The block of land lying along the west side of Oread avenue, between the campus and Hancock street, was given over with the plaza that the avenue be graded by the city. This the city failed to do, and fearing lest some unforeseen occurrence might deprive the University of the ownership of the property, he generously donated it without condition. Once more the growing institution was in need of land; this time for the purpose of laying out the physical exercises. Gov. Robinson appreciated the need, and as he always had done proved himself equal to the occasion. He presented the University with six of the twelve acres of land which now form the McCook Athletic field. It was always his openspace grounds; he would take a front rank among the schools of the United States and the highest place among the universities of the West. quietly, but like all quiet givers gave from the heart. Many a man who came to Kansas in the early days owes a debt of gratitude to him. He was generous not only with his money but also with influence. No deserving man ever asked for assistance in any form and was deplied it. This extreme generosity made for him some enemies—enemies because he engaged in causes not his own. But he did it impelled by his great sense of justice and his feeling that he ought always to maintain the cause of the weak and wronged. Once engaged in behalf of a friend he stood by him until victory or defeat resulted. His quiet giving, unknown to the public and often even to his wife, has been to me one of the most remarkable traits of his character. As soon as the news of Gov. Robinson's death became known his widow received letters of condolence from all parts of the state and from men in every station in life. As indicative of what Gov. Robinson did for many an early settler, I have obtained permis sion from Mrs. Robinson to publish extracts from some of these letters. One of them is from a citizen of west Kentucky is to have served himself in business and who is counted among the influential and prosperous men of his county. He writes: "I have heard of the death of Gov. Robinson, and his unexpected demise fill me with profound sorrow. While I even thought of him as a great and noble person, I still mind the fact that in 1854, when first landed in Lawrence, a total stranger without household goods with only forty cents in my pocket and a wife and four children to care for, he tendered me, as well as others the nice use of a tent and also advance to the frontier of a cooking stove. In later years he often assisted me. I shall ever hold him in grateful remembrance." from a letter written by a Congregational clergyman, who knew the Governor but slightly and formally, but who feels his death as that of an intimate friend. He writes: "While I was struggling to educate my family, I rode with the Governor from Leavenworth and as I left the cars at Tonganoworth he handed me a small roll and said: 'That may help you to educate your children.' I thanked him and when I unrolled the greenbacks to my surprise I found $50. This was a timely gift, and added to the little I could furnish, inspired them to prepare for their responsible duties as members of society." This is an example of his giving in later times when Gov. Robinson thought it his duty to share with his neighbor whatever he had and to share it without ostentation. These are but few instances which show what Gov. Robinson was constantly doing. Such is the voluntary expression of a man who was aided by Gow. Robinson. Another quotation will show the same phase of his character. This is A conversation was lately overheard between some workmen at the Spooner Library while taking their noon rest. in which it was said that Gov. Robinson was always a friend to the working man and that his employees were always generously treated; that he sometimes paid even higher wages than was asked of him. One of the workmen said "when a man went over to the Governor's place to work he was treated as a gentleman and given a nice room and good bed in the house and was not put off in a shed with an old hard bed to lie on, the way some folks treats their men." Other letters have been received from men who felt that they must in some way express the sorrow they felt on account of the death of Gov. Robinson. I cannot refrain from giving in full one of these letters. This letter was received from a prominent city official in Northwestern Kansas who knew Gov. Robinson in the "war times" and who felt called upon to express to Mrs. Robinson his appreciation of her loss. "In all the records of the early pioneers of Kansas I believe there is not one more purely noble and patriotic thinner than the late Charles Robinson. Of his early history it is not my purpose to speak, I simply desire to pay a fitting tribute over the grave which holds so much that was noble and lovable, to perform the last act of sacrifice, to perform every phase of performance for a friend. For many years an ardent advocate of the anti-slavery cause through the tragic history of Kansas, no man ever labored harder or more zealously. With his strong pure sense for humanity, he some with sympathetic social interest, he some with the love and confidence of all the Free-State men throughout the territory of Kansas, effectively removing the prejudice which was felt against some of the leaders of the Free-State party. In assuming the responsible role in the community, he and growing state no man ever entered its service with a liveliest sense of duty than he, and, throughout all his connection with it he acquitted himself most nobly of his sacred trust. Gov. Robinson was deeply beloved by those who had been his man throughout this commonwealth, Frank, pure, and unselfish in his social intercourse; generous and ardent in his attachments; endowed with no ordinary ability and thoroughly embudged with love of country and mankind. He never suffered any affection and respect. He was most unflinching in his adherence to right and no matter what was considered expedient by however high an authority he never failed to hurl a withering rebuke at whatever he considered wrong. Through every phase of his life, and he was always the unfinishing foe of error and omission." The life which has just ended has been one man may wisely study and imitate. True, our friend had his faults and made his mistakes. True, our friend had his qualities and traits of character rarely demanded now. But casting out all his faults and counting in the differences in surroundings and conditions there remains a manhood and character worthy of the attention and inclusion of true citizen. The University has been deprived of its oldest, firmest, and best friend. All Kansas mourns the death of a father. F. H. Snow. GOV. ROBINSON'S PLACE IN KANSAS HISTORY. In many respects Gov. Charles Robinson was the leading figure in the early history of Kansas. When the lovers of freedom in the east determined to save Kansas by settlement they chose Dr. Robinson to lead the movement. He was peculiarly fitted for such a service. As to personal qualifications he was clear, cool and courageous. Eli Thayer who organized the Emigrant Aid company, chose Dr. Robinson as its agent and leader on the field. He says of him: "A wiser and more sagacious man for this work could not have been found." He knew the country as very few at that time did know it. He had been a leader in the California trouble which involved some of the same complications which appeared in Kansas. The qualities for which he was chosen became conspicuous as the struggle proceeded. He was the trusted leader of the free state men from the first. There were other leaders who did good service but in every crisis they turned to Dr. Robinson for guidance. He was the author of the policy which the free state people followed for three years and which finally made Kansas a free state. It was a very difficult policy to carry out and involved a great many perilous situations. The pro-slavery party was guided by the shrewdest political leaders in the United States. It was no easy matter to outgeneral them in political management. But Governor Robinson outgeneraled them and defeated them. Robinson's constant effort was to avoid a conflict. Their great effort was to precipitate a conflict, because in case of a conflict the whole force of the National government was on their side. It was a continual struggle of diplomacy for three years. New complications were continually arising, and new perils were continually threatening. In every new crisis the free-state men looked to Dr. Robinson for his judgment. They never made an important move without consulting him, and his judgement never failed them. Without any office or any official position, he practically gave direction to Kansas affairs. He more nearly managed the public affairs of Kansas during those three years, than he did during the time when he was the official governor of the state. The first time I saw Gov. Robinson was December 2nd, 1857. It was my first day in Lawrence. ∆ Free State convention was in session at the old stone Congregational church. It was one of the largest and most important conventions the party had ever held. Gov. Robinson was president of the convention. In a paper I wrote many years ago, I mentioned that convention, and among other things spoke of Governor Robinson as follows: "The president of the convention was Gov. Charles Ro inson. He led a large company of emigrants from New York to the Free State movement ever since. He is of good height, broad-shouldered and broad-chested, with a well formed head, a clear face and a pleasant eye. He was always calm and self-posed in every emergency, and no sudden turn ever discerns him. He seems to be all the calmer when things about seem wildest. He would not be called eloquent, but he was quite calm and people in such a straightforward, common sense manner that not many speakers can hold an excited crowd, or carry cryation among them more readily than he. During all these times, he was the leader, and has borne his share of the burdens as well as of the horrors. In 1856 he was arrested by the Territorial authorities, and with other leaders, lay in prison at Lecompte and threatened with shooting, and hanged, but was finally liberated unharmed. There is no man who did more for Kansas in her early struggle than Governor Robinson. He will be remembered as one of the founders of the state and its heroes. In no line has he been more unwavering friendship for our University. It was through him that Amos A. Lawrence gave his first gift for the founding of a college at Lawrence. It was largely through his magnificent gift of land that the institution was located here. He has done more than any other one man in shaping his history. At his death he crowns the work of his life by making the University the heir to his large estate. I am glad to add this tribute to the memory of a great man, for I count Governor Robinson one of our great men. He will seem greater in the eyes of the next generation than he did in the eyes of his own time. I see an amount of responsibility and devotion to his memory. The people of Kansas will honor themselves in honoring one who had done much for our state. And what shall his memorial be? I have no plan to suggest, but I feel very intensely that a shaft of marble or of bronze would be most unfitting. My father was always kind and would least of all care to be commemorated by idle stone or useless metal. Give him some living moment that not simply perpetuate his name, but perpetuate his work. Let it be some enlargement of the "iniversity he loved so much which should not have been so," so that "though dead, he may yet speak." RICHARD CORDLEY.

Blackmar, has just been issued in pamphlet form from the Government Printing Office, at Washington. This article was read by Professor Blackmar before the American Historical Association and was published in the annual report of that association, for 1893. A practical way of putting into use the valuable lessons taught in Hygiene is to take a good bath early and often. Ed Powell the popular students barber is prepared to give you 10 baths and 10 shaves for $2.00. This surely gives every student an opportunity to keep clean if he is desirious of so doing. This local is written for new students only. It would be of no use to tell old students that Ed Powell is the K.U. students barber they know that already, but to the new students we would say if you want a comfortable shirt or a stylish hair-cut or an even more invigorating bath you should give Ed Powell a call. His shop is at 710 Mass. street. Among the many athletic sports which have attracted the American youth during the late athletic rage there is no game in which more pleasure can be obtained and less injuries to life and limb received than at the game of ten pins. Martin's bowling alley invites your presence any time during the day and until early bed time in the evening. Prices are offered for the best scores in the various games. Two students can obtain good board and furnished room in a respectable private family for $2.50 per week at 1001 Pa, street. L. M. Spray, of the class of 1882, now principal of the schools at Lin- wood, is a candidate for the nomination on the Republican ticket for the office of County Superintendent of Leavenworth county. His chances for success are said to be very good. Last Sunday's Kansas City Times published a short article entitled "Jay Hawk Prospects Bright" based upon an interview with "Mr. C. R. Troxel," 94." Judging from the statements made, one can not doubt that it was Troxel himself who was interviewed. The address delivered at the opening of the University year by Hon. Eugene F. Ware, has been published by the University in a neat pamphlet form. The printing was done by the state printer. The pamphlet can be obtained at the office of the Treasurer of the University. It is reported that Southwick, the great constitutionalist, is employing all the time he can spare from his studies in drawing up a constitutional form of asking grace, in order that he may perform the act properly when it comes his turn at the club. Lease's turn will come next. Ernest Robinson, Dan Spencer and Jim May will study medicine in the University of Pennsylvania; E. C. Case will study at Cornell, N. Y.; J. F. Carlson, at Columbia College, N. Y.; Misses Wellman and Harrington will enter an Art School in New York city. Miss Spencer will take work in Drexel Institute at Philadelphia. Martin has just got his new bowling alley in good running shape. There is no pool or billiards connected with this alley and for this reason it is a more desirable place for students to practice the art. Bowling is one of the acknowledged athletic sports and all athletes should avail themselves of this opportunity to become skilled in the sport. The old electric clock has been on its good behavior since it was moved into the new reading room, until the first of the week. But on Monday afternoon it was up to its old tricks again, and went about two and a half hours in fifteen minutes. Students who were in the reading room at the time began to realize the meaning of the statement so often made concerning the rate at which Americans live. Tuesday a party of K. U. students left here for the East, where they will attend school. The members of the party were Ernest Robinson, Dan, Spencer, E. C. Case, J. F. Carlson, Misses Spencer, Lola Brown, May Wellman and Harrington. The party will be joined at Centralia, Mo., by Jim May, who preceded the party, that he might stop to visit with friends there. The party expects to visit Niagara and several other places of interest on their way. Members of the party will enter five different schools. A number of students indulged in a little sport yesterday noon. They posted a fictional call for a meeting of the Glee Club, and all who happened to be in the halt at the time crowded into room 11 to enjoy a little burlesque on college politics. A few solos and speeches were indulged in by the hilarious and highly musical crowd, during which the door was locked from the outside, and then things went right merrily. A speech on faculty domination by Freak Kelley brought an audience to the windows. All in the room and those crowding about the windows took part in a free for all, as-many-as-you-please ballot on manager in which 36 of the 24 present voted. The tellers counted the Phi Gamis Phi Psi ballots to the number of seventen and declared the orator, Micawber Kelley, gloriously elected Exeunt via window. Students Remember. Dress Reform. That no shares in the Athletic Association can be bought after Oct. 1, and students desiring to see all the games on McCook field for only $2 should buy shares at once. We are sale agents in Lawrence for Ypsiilanti underwear and equipise waists. No physical culture student can afford to be without them. A. D. WEAVER. THE PRIESTS OF PALLAS Invite You to their Grand Parade at Kansas City. Did you have the good fortune to see the Priests of Pallas Parade at Kansas City last year? A wonderful sight, wasn't it? Those gay floats, with their gorgeous trappings and wiered effects; the pretty women and children, the fireworks, musl3 and crowd—they are well-worth the trip, even if you did come some distance. This year, Tuesday, October 2nd, the management promise brilliant, artistic effects, such as Kansas City never before witnessed. Colored fire works and calcium lights will turn night into day, and the best bands of Kansas and Missouri will furnish sweet music. You can get there most comfortably viasthe Santa Fe Route. Tickets will only cost one fare for round trip Special train returning after the parade. Talk it over with A. T. & S. F. agent at Leis' drug store. Review Election. Yesterday at one o'clock, the stockholders of the University Review Publishing company met for the purpose of electing officers, the election of last year having been declared void on account of illegal voting. O. S. Allen was chosen to preside over the meeting. The first act of the assembly was to refuse to honor the transfer of a share of stock from Mr. Adney to Mr. Bishoff on the plea that the list of stockholders showed the share in question to have been transferred from Mr. Adney; notwithstanding the statement made in the transfer to Mr. Bishoff, that all other pretended transfers from Mr. Adney were void. J. L. Harrington presented a couple of amendments providing for a new offices, that of managing editor and stating the duties of that office. These amendments were adopted. Then the assembly proceeded to the election of officers. James Patton was chosen editor-in-chief; Mr. Lyon, managing editor; C, H. Lease and R, J. Hopkins, business managers. A motion was made and carried. allowing the editor-in-chief to appoint his six associates. The meeting of the Senior class last Friday was a repetition of the story of division among those voting for barb candidates and consequent election of fraternity candidates. Senior Election. Nominations, made by secret ballot, brought forth the names of F. C. Bowker, J. P. Cracraft, B. M. Dickinson and Stanton Ollinger for the office of president of the class for this year. The assembly then proceeded to vote. Upon the first ballot the votes stood: 26 for Bowker, 22 for Cracraft, 5 for Dickinson, 3 for Ollinger. As no one had a majority of the votes a second ballot was then taken which resulted thus; Bowker 27, Cracraft 22, Dickinson 3. The other officers, elected by acclamation, are as follows: Vice-President, J. A. Lahmer; Secretary, Miss Heirnicks; Treasurer, J. F. Messenger; Base-Ball Manager, J. C. Kelsey; Foot-Ball Manager, O. K. Williams; Tennis and Boating Manager, M. L. Alden. With the approval of the President-elect, the retiring President appointed S. S. Brown to represent the Senior class upon the committee which is to make arrangements in regard to the joint debate with the University of Nebraska. Communication. TO THE EDITOR.—Arrangements for joint debates between this University and the University of Nebraska are being completed and the question of how our representatives shall be chosen is one of importance. The purpose of these debates is to encourage literary work in the university and the selection of debaters should be left to the societies directly interested in such work. Two societies are now holding regular meetings and their doors are open to all students of the university. Representatives selected by these societies will be persons really interested in such work and above all this plan would encourage the growth and insure the success of these much needed organizations in our University.

YESTERDAY'S University Courier quotes some disconnected parts of one of our editorials of last week, with thanks from the editor for what we said. We are overjoyed to find that the Courier's editor has such a keen appreciation of what we say concerning his work. In a previous issue we suggested that tennis courts be laid out upon McCook Athletic Field and tournaments given this fall. The expense would be very small and the probable financial benefit to the association would doubtless be quite considerable. Several students have expressed their hearty approval of our plan and the execution of it would certainly add to the popularity of the association. As matters now stand, many students think that the athletic association offers an inadequate return for the fifty cents required for mere membership; they do not think a vote in the annual election is worth fifty cents. While we by no means agree with them in this opinion—fifty cents is little enough for any student to contribute toward the advancement of athletics in the University—we do believe that tennis courts on the field for the use of members of the association would be sufficient inducement to bring in many students who will otherwise stay outside from motives of economy or on account of lack of interest. Those of our readers who are interested in the arrangements for the debate with the University of Nebraska—and what student is not interested in this matter?—will find in this issue the rules proposed by our committee and a statement of its further plans. We also publish several communications on the subject from students whose work along literary and forensic lines qualifies them to express their views in regard to this matter. Furthermore, we print in another column, an interview in regard to the way of choosing debaters in use in the University of Michigan. One more numbest of the STUDENTS JOURNAL will be issued before the sub-committee on plans is to report and if the discussion we present this week is in any way incomplete, or if any one has a novel plan to suggest, we should be pleased to grant him the use of our columns in order to set forth his views. --great, students should take great care to avoid abusing the privilege, or it may be necessary to deprive them of it. Careful and exact obedience should be paid to the rules concerning the use of the book stack. A cux of "only athletes for officers of the Athletic Association," is being raised in certain quarters. It sounds very well indeed, but it is based upon false arguments. The qualities needed in an officer of our Athletic Association are the same qualities desirable in the officers of any business organization, viz: executive and administrative ability, industry and good business sense. If a man has these qualifications he will make a thoroughly competent officer; if not, he will be a failure no matter how well developed his muscles may be, or how much interest he may take in athletics. As a matter of experience, some of the most successful years of the association have been years in which the officers have not been athletes. Some of the officers who have been the most neglectful of their official duties were men who took a very lively interest in sports. Unless the association exists only for the purpose of supplying posts of prominence and honor for athletes, do not make physical development the sole—no, nor the principal—qualification for office-holding in it. However the athlete is, of course, not necessarily devoid of the elements for office-holding. Furthermore, other things being equal, the athlete will be more interested in the business of the association and better supplied with technical information concerning it. Only remember, do not make physical measure the measure of fitness. WE have upon several occasions noticed indications of what seems to us an unfair spirit toward the Independents. They have been severely criticised for doing what others have done for years without being publicly censured. Of course if there seems to be danger of excess, the Independents should be kindly warned and so, also, should others be warned. We hope that the matter of obtaining a Kansas University pin will be attended to this year. The need is clearly apparent to every one connected with the University. What is required to kindle enthusiasm and make the pin a complete success is, as we have said before, an original and appropriate design. We have heard two very unique plus suggested, and there are doubtless many, more such designs in the minds of the students. Something is needed to bring them out, What shall that something be? --great, students should take great care to avoid abusing the privilege, or it may be necessary to deprive them of it. Careful and exact obedience should be paid to the rules concerning the use of the book stack. The organization of the University Glee Club for this year should be effected as early as possible. The manager must have ample time to make dates and get advertising matter. The musicians should have all the time during the next two months for practicing. Prof. Penny says the method of organization will be the same as that of last year. Candidates who pass the examination will be allowed to vote in the organization. From the prospective candidates thus chosen by the musical directors the club shall be selected after practice has developed the best talent. This plan, which is essentially the same as that used in developing athletic teams, is the only safe method for securing a harmonious and representative glee and banjo club.

THE benefits of athletic teams and of a strong athletic association to the University are too plainly evident to need mention. Neither should it be necessary to remind the students that our athletic association is in need of money; it needs all it can get. All money received by it is carefully expended for the good of athletes in this institution, and the ultimate aim is to provide a building and apparatus for a first-class gymnasium. Therefore every student in Kansas University should purchase a membership in the athletic association. By paying two dollars he becomes a member of the association for one year, and has, of course, in selecting its officers and in determining the policy of the association. Furthermore, he is entitled to enter McCook Field at all times except when the grounds are closed for secret practice of the team. The amount necessary to secure admission to the field to see the foot-ball games this fall and the base-ball games next spring will be more than two dollars, so the student will save money by the investment. However, if he prefers to pay for the games when he sees them, the student may become a member of the association by paying fifty cents to the treasurer, R. K. Moody. The payment of this amount entitles him to a vote in all meetings of the association. Every student can afford to pay this small amount to help on so good a cause. To entitle the student to vote at the annual election of the officers of the association on October first, he must pay his fee by Monday. Let every one take an active interest in this matter and do everything in his power to put new vigor into our athletics. CONTRARY to the expectations of the students at least, the rules of the new library building permit the senior, junior, and special students to enter the book stack, subject to a few necessary rules. This relieves the librarian and her assistants of a great deal of labor, for these classes of students have cause to use the library far more than any other classes. However, it is not on this account that we rejoice—although we are glad to spare unnecessary labor—but on account of the advantages of this arrangement to the students. Direct access to the book-shelves gives the student an opportunity to form a close acquaintance with authors and works, which he could hardly get by consulting catalogs, indices, and librarians, and then obtaining the books treating on his subject. In looking through books for desired information the student finds information upon other points, which may be of value to him later. At least, even if he does not remember all he sees, he will probably remember where he saw certain statements, when the time comes for using them. This constitutes knowledge of books. "Next to knowing a thing is knowing where to find it." Persons have started upon successful careers by suggestions unexpectedly found in books. Since the value of the permission to enter the alcoves is so The Joint Debate. One of the most important fortures of school life is a thorough training in practical speaking. Perhaps there is no standard by which the scholar is so universally ganged as by his capacity in this respect. In practical life the ability to discuss local, state and national issues in an intelligent and comprehensive manner cannot be over-estimated. To the business man it is an admirable accomplishment; to the preacher or lawyer it is the direct avenue to success; to the scholar in general, it is a medium through which he can communicate a portion of his knowledge to the masses for the betterment of their condition. At present the university affords admirable opportunities for the cultivation of this accomplishment. There are two debating societies in the literary department which are now organized and are open to all students. To the writer it seems unadvisable to divide our strength by the organization of a new society until the present ones are assured of the highest possible success. The proposed joint debate with the University of Nebraska has greatly increased the interest taken in debate and under its influence this line of work promises to develop into such a state of excellence as is compatible with the general standing of this institution. In regard to the method by which the representatives of Kansas University are to be chosen, it is generally agreed that we wish to select our ablest debaters in the fairest and most equitable manner. It is quite evident that the only way to decide upon the merits of the different debaters is by actual trial. As it is highly improbable that all the members of the respective societies will wish to contest for this honor, the writer suggests the following plan to the committee for their consideration: Let each of the societies choose eight of their ablest members to contest in pairs upon four well-balanced questions, chosen by the executive committee of the societies. Then let the eight debaters determine by lot as to how they shall be paired and what subjects they shall discuss. After this the pairs—one on a side—contest before three competent judges, selected by the committee on arrangements. After this first contest, let the four winners engage in a second contest, upon the same plan—the two winners to engage in a third contest to decide the question of supremacy in each of the societies. Finally, let the winners in the societies enter into a fifth contests which shall decide as to who will represent Kansas University. To the writer it seems practicable to hold an entire contest in one evening, as 20 or 25 minutes is sufficient time for a debater to demonstrate his skill. The committee may consider that it would be rather an imposition to ask the same judges to oblige in all the contests—if so it might be advisable to select a new set of judges for each contest. The English department has made quite an effort to bring about this debate, and let us show our appreciation of their services by joining with them in making an earnest effort to earn the laurels for Kansas. Surely the theme is worthy of the effort! In preparation it exacts logical and consecutive thought; in practice it arouses an ambition to succeed, develops one's practical capabilities and renders us more proficient in the use of language. ADELPHIAN. Died, on September 26th, at his home, in Chillicothe, Ohio, Lorin B. Sears. Lorin B. Sears was born on March 10th, 1872, in Douglas county, Kansas, where he lived until he was ten years old, when he removed with his father to Chillicothe. There he graduated from the High School in 1890, the president of his class. In the fall he entered the State University of Ohio, at Athens, where he completed his Junior year in 1863. In the fall of '93 he entered Kansas University, from which he graduated last spring. Lorin Beecher Sears. During his year here Mr. Sears won the dightest esteem of all with whom he became acquainted, by his uniformly gentlemanly bearing and his sterling qualities of scholarship. Last winter he won first place in the local oratorical content here and took third rank in the state contest. Mr. Sears was slick for only about fifteen days before his untimely death and though he was known to be very slick, a great shock was experienced by each one of his friends when the sad news came on Wednesday afternoon that he had passed away between ten and eleven o'clock. OUR STUDY WINDOW. There is a building whose exterior has brought peeliness to many a critical mind, whose form and color have sorterly perturbed many an aesthetic soul. It has been variously described as a lively stable, street car stable; it resembles a crouching cat; its rear end looks like the little shanty kitchens, 'evil among us; the front is low, 'flat, for the most part porch the back is mostly windows What 'amner of building is this? Evidently it is designed for human use, for there is a great flux of people within, without. But, once within this building the critical mind and the aesthetic soul are less disturbed. The long shelves of books, the alveos filled with periodicals, the tables covered with reference works, at once designate its purpose. And the long stretch of polished yellow floor, the gilded pillars, the carved wood-work bring pleasure to the beauty seeking eye. "Books! Books!" says the bibliomaniac, and gazes with hungry eyes at the squares of glass in the swing doors that afford a glimpse at stack upon stack of books. "What an excellent opportunity to get at rare old manuscripts! How is this collection of books, the embodiment of human energy, the concerted expression of human thought?" The bibliomaniaca stands and gazes. The people look at the bibliomaniac but not long, for there are many things to be seen in this large place They look at the room; its freshness clearness, and newness, are very atractive. All faces express a pride in the skill of man that has erected this building for human use, rather than an awe of the superior advantage offered for literary research. They look at each other; they are many in number some look happy and joyous, some serious, some calm and contented All seem capable of being fired to noble deeds by the sparks of humanity within them. When any new periodical, be it magazine, newspaper or what not, is first issued, or when any old periodical is issued under a new regime, there is always a great deal of discussion as to its object. Some magazines are strictly technical, others are wholly political, and many, in a more or less disguised form, contain criticisms of life. The latter are, of course, the most literary, since literature is allowed to make use of the vast expanse of human activity. The literary journal has the right to discuss matters of social and educational importance, both indirectly and directly so far as the rules of literary art permit. There has been of late years a great deal of matter published on the value of higher education, and much has been said to confirm one in the opinion that intellectual training is not always the best preparation for life. The scholar, the man of pure motives and a clear mind is often defined with regard to his political usefulness—as "a perfect stick." He will not recognize facts that must, in the eyes of the practical man, be recognized in order to be overcome. And again, the man of trained intellect is slow to move. He is not sure of the right, and stands still at the moment when speedy action is necessary. Verily, too much learning is a dangerous thing! It is perhaps true that the man of intellect is slow to act. Perhaps, even, if pitted against the man of spirituality, that is, the man of warm impulses and a pure heart, in a contest of good that can be measured by concrete standard, he will fall behind. But we cannot thus place the one quality in contradiction to the other; they belong to each other, and just so far as they are found together, harmoniously united, is nature's object—a man—accomplished. The term education is commonly taken, or rather mistaken, to mean mental training. If there was more care displayed in the definition of the term, there would be much less discussion of the vexed question of higher education. In its broadest and most correct sense, education is a drawing out—an harmonious development of all the elements of the human soul, and any individual or any periodical, or any department of any periodical that proposes to discuss human actions with a view to bettering them must accept this meaning of the word. A knowledge of books can no more make a man than a man can be made without it. On Tuesday D. H. Spencer and sister and Miss Lola Brown left Lawrence.

PROPOSED RULES 1 For the kansas-Nebraska Joint Debate. 1. Each university shall determine the time and manner in which its snakers are to be chosen. 2. No one but a regular and regularly matriculated student in some school or department of the university may be chosen to speak. 3. Each university shall be represented by three speakers. 4. Each speaker shall be allowed fifteen minutes, and in addition each side shall have ten minutes for rebuttal; the closing speakers to be chosen by the sides they represent. 5. The place for the first debate chosen by lot; after the first, the debates shall alternate. 6. The first debate shall be held on the evening of the first Friday in May, 1895. 7. The university where the debate is to be held shall propose not later than December 5th, at least three questions, from which, not later than December 15th, the other university shall select one if satisfactory, and the sides shall be chosen by lot on the first Friday in April preceding the debate. 8. Lots for the first debate shall be drawn by the president of the University of Missouri. 9. Three judges shall be selected by the chancellors of the two universities. No one shall be chosen judge who is a resident of either state represented, or who has an interest in either university. 10. All necessary expenses connected with the debate shall be met by the university where the debate is held. The above are the rules drawn up last Saturday by the committee, consisting of Professors Hopkins, Wilcox, and Carnuth and S. S. Brown, of the Senior class, S. C. Prentice, of the Junior class, W. C. McCroskey, of the Sophomore class, J. L. Harrington, of the School of Engineering, M. S. Gorrill, of the School of Law, A. B. Clarke, of the School of Pharmacy, W. L. Gardner, of the University Debating club, and W. N. Logan, of the Adelphic Literary Society. These rules have been submitted to Nebraska University but are by no means final; they are still subject to amendment by either university. This committee was given full power by the University Council to take final action in the matter. At its meeting the committee appointed a sub-committee, consisting of Professor Hopkins, and Messrs. Gardner and Harrinton, to suggest plans for selecting our representatives. The committee will meet again a week from tomorrow to hear the report of the subcommittee. In the meantime the committee would like to have every one who has a plan for selecting our representatives make it known to them. We should be pleased to have the students take advantage of our columns to discuss this important subject. Historical Seminary. On last Friday at four o'clock Professor Blackmar favored a large assembly of students with an excellent talk on the Pullman strike. The professor enjoyed exceptional advantages for studying the strike and the strikers as he was in Chicago during a considerable part of the summer, attending lectures in the University of Chicago in the morning and spending the afternoons in investigating social conditions in Chicago and the outlying towns, including Pullman. He first spoke of the attractive features of Pullman, illustrating the talk with views of the principal points of interest. Next the excellent systems of sewerage, of lighting and of water supply, the well paved streets, the church, the theatre, and the library were mentioned. Here the laborers had all the modern conveniences and advantages, and it seemed that here, if anywhere, the laborers should be happy and contented. The strike was all the more surprising to the general public because so much had been writ- We are agents for Best Tailoring House in America All wool trousers $4.00 . and up. All wool suits .. $16.00 . and up. FIT GUARANTEED. Over 200 samples to select from Let us take your measure. W. Bromelsick ten about this model town. Mr. Pullman had been lauded to the skies as a great philanthropist, when, in fact his motives in building Pullman were of an economic rather than of a philanthropic nature. He endeavored to raise the standard of living among his operatives by paying them high wages and furnishing uncommon good surroundings because he believed that he would be repaid by the increased efficiency of the workmen. This motive is, however, not in the least discreditable. All successful plans for elevating the laboring classes have been founded upon economic rather than upon sentimental principles. The immediate cause of the strike was, all know, a reduction of wages to an amount twenty-five per cent, below the wages of the first half of 1893. In the same time however general wages had fallen fully thirty per cent, and general prices about twenty-five per cent. But, as usual, the laborers would not take these facts into consideration; they could see only the fall in the nominal amount of their wages. There were other causes for striking given, but inquiry among the strikers themselves proved that these causes were very trivial. Of course the inflammatory speeches and general agitation attendant to the organization of a society of the A. R. U. among the Pullman employees contributed to the feeling for a strike, and the A. R. U. officers were unable to restrain the storm of passion they had stirred up. In regard to the matter of rents, of which much has been said, the professor says that, although they were not high—being but about three-fifths of the rents asked for similar dwellings in the neighborhood—they were too high for men who were receiving no larger incomes than were the Pullman laborers. What seems to be the weakest point in the Pullman plan of industrial life is the extreme paternalism of the management. The citizen of Pullman had nothing to do but to work and pay his rent. He had no voice in the management of public affairs. Everything of that sort was done for him. Professor Blackmar thinks Mr. Pullman was justifiable in his refusal to arbitrate the matter. He believes, however, that state boards of conciliation and arbitration would do much to lessen such troubles. Such a board could probably have prevented the Pullman strike. Indeed Mr. Pullman, had he realized the situation fully, could doubtless have prevented the strike with but slight sacrifice. Wages were reduced more than necessary. The plea of Mr. Pullman that the car manufacturing company is separate from the other branches of the business was but a subterfuge as the various branches of the business are really separated for convenience in book-keeping only. Professor Blackmar talked rapidly for an hour and the students left the seminary room feeling that they had received a gooat deal of valuable information. Adelphic Meeting- The speeches of the principal debaters were followed by an enthusiastic general discussion; and Professor Carruth, an earnest supporter of the proposed amendment, ended the discussion with a few clear and pointed remarks. The Adelphic Literary Society held its first meeting of this season in Adelphic Hall last Friday evening. A large number of students, both new and old, were in attendance. The program for the evening consisted of a debate as to whether or not the pending suffrage amendment should be adopted. This question was discussed in a way that did credit to the speakers and to the society. The arguments, which were clear and logical, showed research and thought, and the delivery of the speakers evinced the truth of the proverb: "Practice makes perfect." It is earnestly hoped that all who wish to acquire proficiency in the work of the literary society—and no one can a*ord to leave school without being well qualified in such work—will come out regularly and help swell the attendance. The society is not intended for any one class of students. All are welcome, ladies as well as gentlemen, professors as well as students After the election of officers plans were discussed for furthering the interests of the organization. Also to see if a debate between the University Republican-club and the Populist club could not be arranged.1. President, F. B. Wheeler, Vice President, F. E. Brady; Secretary and Treasurer, W. G.

To the Editor Students Journal: The question of how prize orations and competitive debates shall be graded is very important. Not that it matters particularly who is awarded first place as far as simple justice is concerned, but because grading done from a wrong standpoint will inevitably convey bad ideas of methods of argument, of literary construction, and of delivery; and those bad ideas operate as teachers in this particular work, and "poor teachers, poor insa'tion" is the rule. So it is very important that correct methods of grading be employed. It makes no matter how erite i production is, it makes no matter how logical it is, it makes no matter how agreeable the delivery is, theoretically, if the audience to whom the production is delivered falls to be moved and won by it, as an oration or debate, it is still born a failure. I recognize, however, that if an audience is allowed to judge the worth of a production and its delivery, the people in the audience may be influenced somewhat by their previous knowledge of the speaker; but so are the judges when two or three individuals act in a judicial capacity and are at the same time acquainted with those whose productions they are marking, as they are some times acquainted, even if precaution is taken to prevent such knowledge. But even if the audience were influenced by its knowledge of the speakers and the two or three judges were not, the audience would be in the same relation to the speaker that society will in later years be; so, perhaps, instead of the audience's acquaintance with the speaker being an objection, it is in part a desideratum. Yet the local organization probably could not afford to send its representatives to the large organization, chosen by the vote of the audience, unless the larger organization also judged its speakers and their productions by the same method; for different ways of judging would more than likely bring about different conclusions. I am convinced there are evils in the present arrangement, and if I have furnished any food for thought, or am successful in getting others to think about and discuss the matter. I shall have accomplished my aim. ONE INTERESTED. Pursuant to a call signed by the executive committee, a number of the students met in room 14 last Friday to organize a debating club. As the constitution used last year could not be found; W. C. Crokesley, who had been made temporary chairman, appointed a committee consisting of Messrs. Oleson, Cone, McCall, F. H. Johnson and Logan to draft a new one. A committee to arrange a program for a meeting was appointed, consisting of $^2$ Messrs. Cone, C. C. Brown and House.

This sentence, uttered by one of our now prominent lawyers, but at that time a student of the University, fell on our ears early in September, 1890. But in that expression he meant foot bull in the true sense of the word that is, to distinguish it from class games which were played as early as 1883. Athletics Our means for commending we were necessarily limited but we managed somewhat, by private subscription probably, to buy a foot ball and finally the boys were furnished with some unpadded suits. In reference to the latter it is needless to say that the boys were prouder of them than we are now of molestius or would be of even the Harvard leathers, if we had them. Notwithstanding the limited means the boys met every evening for practice, assisted by some of the professors of the University as conches. This being the introduction of the game here, not much enthusiasm was aroused and very little was expected of the team. Examination of the records made shows that people were not much disappointed. But the following season opened with brighter prospects. A manager was elected, padded suits provided for the boys, and advantage taken of every opportunity that offered itself which would benefit the team. Then the students and citizens became interested and gave the management their support. As to the success of the team it is sufficient to say that the "Never Deceived badges appeared at the close of the season. In the fall of 1892 the team was coached by Professor Hopkins, and through his splendid management won fame and was victorious in every game except the last, which was played with Baker. This game was played by a miscellaneous team picked from both eleven as some of the regular players could not go. Last year seemed to be an "off" year for the boys for victory rested in most of the cases, with the opposing team although our team was strong in many respects and had good coaching. The prospects for 1843 are good, to say the least; and if our captain can keep the right men on the field, which he is making every effort to do, we will have a team that will push the ball through the line on southern soil as well as on any other and will again win for Kansas University such fame as he the "Never Defeated" boys did. There is some doubt of the game scheduled with Doane college being played at the appointed time, owing to Baker's foot ball troubles. Doane intended to play a game with each team while here. However the game will doubtless be arranged for another date. What is the matter with a game of foot ball at Chicago. We have played Denver, Col., Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan, Missouri and Illinois at Kansas City, but a trip to Chicago would cause many good men to work for a place on the team, who otherwise dislike to give the time for it. Better than this yet would be a trip to the south. Nothing would give the boys more sport than to get hold of the gamy southerners. Let us cover the four points of the compa- and have a trip to some southern university. President, Hugh Means; vice president, M. A. Gorvill; secretary, Geo. Martindale; treasurer, C. T.

Mr. J. G. Wine, of the class of '93, who stopped here for a few days on his way back to Ann Arbor, where he will again attend law school this winter, was interviewed in regard to the manner of selecting debaters to represent the University of Michigan in the debate with Northwestern University. The question debated at the general local contest happened to be the same question that was afterward chosen for the debate with Northwestern University; and this, the debaters found was a great advantage, although the Northwestern men won by a very narrow margin. Mr. Wine says that in the regular collegiate department of Michigan University there are two strong literary societies, and in the law school, the same number. Each of these societies held a debating contest, thus selecting its two best debaters to represent it in the general local contest, between eight men representing the four societies. At this general local contest three men were chosen to represent the University of Michigan. At all contests great care was taken in selecting thoroughly competent judges. Debaters were graded both on thought and composition, and on delivery. Mr. Wine remarked incidentally, that Michigan presented much the stronger argument but the Northwestern son by oratorial display. The other rules governing the debate were much the same as those drawn up by our committee and submitted to Nebraska. Almost-But Not. What came near being one of the decisive battles of history was not fought last Tuesday. It seems that the Freshies had, early in the morning, called a meeting for 1 o'clock, in room number 14. Later in the day the Sophs advertised a meeting for the same hour, to be held in the same room. At the appointed time, the guillefless Freshes found the room full-filled with wily Sophs. Happily, a great Sophonome chieftain, perceiving from the threatenment countenances of the lower-classman that they were prepared to make good their priority of claim, politely suggested that, as a graceful retreat is always preferable to an ignominious roast, his fellow warriors withdraw to a less exposed fortress. They withdraw. Thus was a bloodless war averted. Geo. Davies THE STUDENTS CONSULT STUDENT'S TAILOR Hollingbery and Son, In Everything a Gentleman Wears. SPECIALTISTS. Office 741 MASS. ST. U. S.
