THE TOSSING of a coin by President Jeese, of the University of Missouri, has determined that the first joint debate between the universities of Kansas and Nebraska shall be held in Lawrence, on the first Friday in May next. The following five questions have been submitted to the University of Nebraska, from which one is to be chosen as the question for the debate: "The moral influence of the novel is stronger than that of the newspaper"; "The initiative and referendum should be introduced into the United States"; "Natural monopolies should be controlled by the general government"; "Less weight should be given to precedent in judicial decisions"; "The standing army of the United States should be increased." Names of candidates for the trial debates in this University are to be handed to the committee having the arrangements in charge not later than the second Friday in January. Nebraska
has already chosen her representatives. Very little interest has thus far been shown in the matter outside of two of the debating societies, and the time limit for the formation of new societies has already expired, though it may be extended by special vote of the committee. It is hoped that the matter may now be taken up with the determination to meet Nebraska half way and not allow her to add a victory in logic to that in foot-ball.
It is a good thing to manifest our gratitude; in fact, its very existence necessitates expression. Of all grateful individuals, the student should be the most thankful and content. And of all thankful students, the wearers of crimson have the best cause to rejoice. A day of thanksgiving helps us to realize and appreciate our good fortune, blessed, as we are, with the opportunity of a good education; it effects a temporary union of social interests and responsibilities; reminds us of our debt to Maker, parents and self. "Thanks are a tribute payable by the poorest," and even the poorest have something for which to thank and be thankful. In the college world things have been prosperous; "times have been good" and good times have been numerous. In the class-room, on the field, in our business transactions and our diversions we have certainly grown in efficiency; and a gratitude for progress is hope and desire of still further advancement.
WHAT is the matter with the joint debate movement? School has now well commenced and very little as yet has been done. Joint debate is being pushed in other universities and colleges.Would it not be well to work up a little healthy rivalry in the way of challenge debates between the literary societies.

LITERARY.
The Real Meaning of Art.
[A paper read by Prof. Clarke before the Art Club of Lawrence, Kansas.]
The word "art" has become prostituted and is applied to so many trivial things that by association it has acquired a quality which has brought it into contempt. But worse than this; the term has been narrowly restricted, even by intelligent persons to include painting, sculpture and fancy work from a to z, and the truth has been squeezed almost out of sight. This narrow conception is so general that it leaves only a little remnant of the people who are open to its influence. What ought the word mean to us? Why, what it has always meant ever since the beginning of time—expression; from the time when God formed Nature to surround Humanity down to the motion of an eyebrow or the presence of a hand. Our human relations require expression. Our minds and hearts must and will go out to our fellow creatures and receive recognition. It is the one thing that raises us above the brutes, and accounts for language, literature, music and the drama. We express ourselves in speech, in writing, in music, in acting in order to make an impression, and with true art the picture, whether of speech or tones or gesture, is given from mind to mind directly and with abiding force.
See now, in this light, how grand art is, and something to be studied by everyone that he or she may always make his or her best impression and also understand the language of others.
Education is striving everywhere to put the tools of art into the people's hands that they may make something out of their lives. Very poor, crooked, dull tools most of them are, which have to be afterwards straightened and sharpened by hard knocks and friction with the world.
Some day the teacher of art will be honored above all other teachers, but not yet.
Why is it that the multitude will own to being moved by a work of art and yet regard him who imparts the lesson of true expression as merely
another tradesman who sells at a profit whatever is wanted,. Who can forget the shiver which runs down the back at some marvelous burst of song from the great singer. Such a powerful effect has perfection.
Who that has listened to the voice of Millet's "Angelus" can forget the spell enjoined by that powerful picture? The strokes of the bell seem to vibrate through the quivering atmosphere from the little church spire in the gray distance, across the furrowed fields to the two beings in the foreground; who, hearing the sound, drop their implements of toil and stand in attitude of prayer—the woman, with clasped hands meeting the bowed head, giving up body and soul to devotion; the man standing sheepishly with hat in hand, devout, but not in the same way as his companion. It is the truth, the old truth, ever since the call to prayer was issued. This picture makes us think.
Now the great curse and sorrow of the artist is the wholesale acceptance of mock art which expresses nothing truly. Things are, however, all the time getting better. The cheap chromo is the entering wedge which prophecies the recognition of good paintings. Moody and Sankey hymns will some time give way to Handel's Messiah. The dime novel or the "goody" Sunday school book will be supplanted by the works of Scott. The marvelous impersonations of Booth or Jefferson may open the eyes of some frequenter of the vulgar show. The eloquence of a Beecher or a Brooks will move the soul which has been untouched by smaller men who had nothing to express.
I have avoided any allusion to the idea of artifice or deception, and yet that is the first idea which most people have on mention of art. And the idea that art means artificiality keeps many a man and woman from studying for the truth. The Anglo-Saxon mind is particularly prone to distrust polish and a wellrounded perfection as something tacked on for effect. This is simply because the art is untrue
/1504

or imperfect, and the ego or disagreeable personality is apparent. It is especially true in acting. Awkwardness of gesture, or a line forgotten, destroy the impression intended and make us angry at the artist for allowing his personal deficiencies to annoy us. How it grates upon one to hear a Beethoven sonata rattled through by some mechanical dolt who has no expression. We hear of some painting greatly praised, and on going to see it, instead of being seized by it, feel a pain of disappointment because the picture doesn't realize the subject—doesn't get there; some botchy execution or misconception which forces upon us the painter's inadequacy to his task.
What are the factors in spreading true art among us? There is the special school with its rules and receipts, there is the lecturer with catchy phrase, there is the shopkeeper with wares which all may see, there is the play-house and the church, and first of all there is the home. The home expresses the character of its makers. Bad taste, vulgarity, carelessness, slovenliness, show inevitably in the home, walk they as angels outside. And the children are forever impressed for good or bad by the home. Bad art in the home is a shame, and should not be tolerated, for its shabbiness will one day be seen!
ATHLETIGS.
Foot-Ball.
The game on Thanksgiving Day with Missouri, in which the "Crimson" of K. U. floated high over the "Orange and Black" of Missouri closed the football season of "94." Our boys fully redeemed themselves for the two previous defeats, and the students of the University, the members of the faculty, and the citizens of Lawrence join in rejoicing over the success of the eleven for the season of "94." There are some who think that we should have won the pennant, but taking into consideration the numerous changes in the teams, due to men being hurt, the 'Varsity has done remarkably well. All interested have every reason to be proud of the boys who have been working faithfully for three months in order that the team which should represent the University of Kansas might be an honor to the institution and to the state, a team which would cause the "Crimson" to wave above all other colors. Many things have been learned, although in learning them we were often not the ones who were benefitted; but having acquired this knowledge, let us be governed accordingly, and in the end profit by our experience.
The work of our boys during the past two weeks has been hard and thorough, as the playing in Thanksgiving's game indicated. In spite of the many discouragements and the apparent hard luck, the team displayed its perseverance, and as a result of this they won the best and most important game of the season, a game in which most every odd was against them. The work of the team in preparing for this contest is certainly commendable, and too much credit cannot be given the coach, the manager, and the players individually.
It seldom seems best to make excuses and "might-have-beens," but after looking carefully over the games, noticing the results, and above all remembering the condition of the team after the different games, it is evident at least that if we could not have won the pennant, we could have made a much better fight for it; we also could have had the satisfaction of knowing that our best players were playing instead of being unable to play on account of some injury received in a game which should never have been played. A contest where the bitter feeling over-balances the rivalry which should and does exist in all athletic contests,
98
The Courier-Review.
such a contest should not take place, and above all on the gridiron, where it is possible for almost every man to display his feeling in a way which is admired by no one.
Never before has our team received the training and the treatment that it received this year. No trouble or expense was spared to make the team all that it could possibly be made. The first step forward, the engagement of Mr.Cowan as coach; next in order,the fitting of North College for the training quarters, both of these being things which the team has been sadly in need of during past years.The management has been able and willing to step forward whenever the occasion demanded it, and has done the work well.
The boys may now rest on their laurels, but while resting put forth every effort to secure a strong team for the season of'95. Let the "Crimson" during the season of'95 be the one color in the West. This must apply to all: not only the Athletic Association must do all in its power in this direction, but also each and every student should feel that he has a personal interest in the team, doing all that he can towards making the team which shall represent the University next year a winning one.

It is to be hoped that a goodly number of students are at work on productions for the oratorical contest. The only way that will secure K. U. the place she ought to hold is to awaken enthusiasm in the local contest. A correct appreciation of the benefit derived from such an experience, as well as the honors to be gained, ought, we think, to insure many aspirants for the honor of representing K. U. in the state contest. It is never too late for those who have time and inclination to under take the work. Remember the main element of success is work.
The Women's League has invited Mrs. Ella Hill Kingsley, of Paola, Kans., to give a talk to the young women of the University on Saturday, December 15th, at 3 o'clock, at Library Hall. Mrs. Kingsley's subject will be "Woman's Influence in College Life." She is a brilliant and cultured woman and an attractive speaker. Previous to her residence in this state Mrs. Kingsley's home was in Ann Arbor, and she has watched with strong interest the progress of education for women in the universities of Michigan and Kansas.
MUSIC HALL ECHOES.

Two attractions, among the best of their class, are coming. The sprightly farce, "A Summar Blizzard" comes Saturday night, Dec. 8th, and the great drama "Jane," Monday night, Dec. 10th. Both these companies are said to be first class. "Jane" is under the management of Frohman. The citizens of Lawrence are aware, that any thing bearing the Frohman trade-mark is worth their patronage. The management believe, that nothing to excell these two companies in their line, will appear on the stage here this season. Seats on sale for "Summer Blizzard" Thursday, Dec. 6th, and for "Jane," on Friday morning, Dec. 7th.
Saturday Dec. 8th.
"A Summer Blizzard," a most amusing farce seems to derive its name from the fact that the various characters are drawn together, and the laughable circumstances brought about through the medium of a country newspaper called the 'Summer Blizzards,' by a Mr. Wrightt U. Scribble. Willie is a hustling advance agent who is head over heels in debt to his company and every one else and is looking for a "backer." His advertisement in Mr. Scribble's paper is answered by Herman Highball, who has "money to burn and no matches," and also by Herman's wife, who is anxious to be-

come a leading lady and has deceived her husband with the belief that she is on her way to Europe. Willie Settle induces Mr. Highball to become the "angel" for his venture and engages Mrs. Highball, who is now known as Madame Le Grand, as the star. In this way the madame fools her innocent better half and Willie Settle fools both of them. Mr. Scribble't newspaper office and his hotel, both inside and out, are the scenes of action. His daughter, Helen Blazes, and the printer's "devil" Phoney Dice, who imagines he looks like Corbett, are the chief disturbers.
Miss Nelly Rosebud, in the role of Helen, the soubrette, is good, her peculiar, but pleasing style and clever specialties contributing much toward the success of the piece. The cast includes some thirty people, all of whom are specially fitted to the parts assigned them.
I leaned across the orchardgate And held her struggling head, Why was I then so cruel, pray. And she so full of dread.
She struggled hard, she struggled long;
I can see her even now,
As I looked into the big brown eyes
Of our dear old brindled cow.
—Rose Technie.
The Queen of Comedies, "Jane."
Next Monday evening Dec. 10th will be seen at Bowersock's opera house by a company of selected players who made the comedy famous during its great run in New York city.
A wild young man who had property left him in case he marries, communicates in a fit of desperation, induced by debt, with his trustee, informing him that he is about to take unto himself a wife. His obligations are discharged and the payment of a regular income begins. Improvidence leads him into debt again and he appeals for more on the ground that his wife is extravagant. The trustee writes that he will visit London and remonstrate with the little woman. In his dilemma the young fellow induces Jane, his housemaid who has just been secretly married to William, the man servant,
to agree to pose as his wife during the old trustee's visit. The consequent deception of the old gentleman, the borrowing of a necessary baby and the agony of the bridegroom, William furnish the hilarious fun which follows.

people were not supposed to care for luxuries. Now the day laborer enjoys more luxury than the Plantagenets dreamed of having, and they were thought to have corralled every pleasure,
There is no reason why everyone should not take short or long trips over the ever-popular, ever-ready and ever-improving SANTA FE ROUTE. It costs no more to ride in luxury in one of our fine coaches day car, chair car, or Pullman-on quick time and safe track, than if you went by other blowing-whistling-backing-and-sudden-stopping trains.
You will realize this should you take the Santa Fe Route to California. When it is cool or cold in the East, is the right time to see the California summer land.

WE STUDENTS are socially inactive; and in society, denial and excess are equally harmful. It is true that we come here but for an education, and cannot be too persistent in our purpose to acquire a thorough one; but if "brains tell" and "hearts win," develop both heart and brain. Versatility is an admirable quality; broad-mindedness is a virtue. The one generally inculcates the other. A certain amount of pleasure is natural, from which we venture the deduction that undue application is abnormal. Of course, in venturing this assertion, we assume that close study is not genuine pleasure, although its results are usually gratifying. Granting the importance of pleasure in acquiring a liberal education, do you not feel the justness of our cry for stronger social ties
and more events in University society? As fellow students, we are under certain obligations to eachother, to our class and school; and congeniality is the best and surest way of letting anyone know how friendly we feel toward him. As a certain degree of conventionality is more impressive and practical than a wholesale amount of informal greeting and well-wishing, so should we estimate the comparative importance of our social usages and our dances or receptions.
Yes, I am one of those people who line up every Sunday for their weekly sacrilegious rush at the poor mail carriers. Some are there for sweet and tender notes from white and pretty hands; some are there because they are looking for a gold watch, or a diamond pin, which was to be sent on the receipt of a correctly solved puzzle, accompanied by fifteen cents. These same people may be seeking word from father or mother (lonesome Freshmen mostly); still others are seeking letters containing checks (these individuals are Seniors). The study of facial expression is a splendid one here. The fellow who, instead of a draft, gets a friendly letter from mother assuring him that the folks are all well, and hoping he is no worse, is a good subject to contrast with the fellow who gets a letter from the girl at home, and who steals away with the missive in much the same manner as a selfish boy who feels that other boys are going to beg his stick of candy. The fellow who begins to suspect that he has been fooled, in plain American, on the watch and diamond ring deal, may ultimately be very fresh with certain portions of the sacred vocabulary, but it is ten to one that he administers reproof to himself privately and says nothing while in the post-office.

LITERARY.
Iphigenia in Greek and German.
BY MACGREGOR DOUGLAS.
At the time when German literature began to form itself and to make itself felt and appreciated by the world, it was without a firm foundation upon which to build. It had no definite forms nor models of its own which it could follow. The result was that the then German literature followed and served almost every literature that, at the time, had any prestige whatever in the literary world; and, as a natural consequence, bore the marks of foreign influence.
The men of genius who built German literature had each followed some school of letters or some one or more orders of thought. We can see the influence of the English novel and drama throughout all the novel and drama of the Germans. Next to, if not above the English in influence, comes the old classical Latin and Greek, and especially the latter. If Goethe follows the English of Shakespeare in a number of his works, the influence of the Greek is as plainly seen in his Tasso and Iphigenia.
The story of Iphigenia, of her sacrifice at Aulis, of her rescue by the goddess, and of her stay and life among the Taurians is well known to almost all common readers, probably more so from Goethe's imitation—for it is an imitation to a certain extent—than from the original of Euripides.
The main story and facts of the two versions are the same, although the German writer varied somewhat from the Greek, in order to work out his own thoughts.
It would be best to first look somewhat into the more apparent differences between the two plays. That is, differences in the context of the two.
In Goethe's the first noticeable point differing from the original is the fact that Thoas is in love with the priestess and seeks her for his wife. In the Greek, Thoas does not figure in
the role of lover at all, and indeed his relations with Iphigenia seem to be very distant and respectful, as one would expect of a warrior towards a priestess whom he meets and knows only in the sacred dignity of her office.
Instead of Iphigenia telling Thoas who she is after a prolonged silence, as she does in the German, Euripides makes it appear that her identity is generally known, for the king addresses her, when he first meets her before us, as the daughter of Agamemnon.
The last two points are of little real importance, but serve to show the character of the more slight differences.
Also in Goethe's version, the priestess is ignorant of the fate of Troy, while in the Greek, she has heard of its downfall at least and asks the captives concerning the details.
The next point of real importance is concerning the plot to escape. In the story of Euripides, Iphigenia invents the scheme and carries it out without any aid whatever. In Goethe's, the plan is thought out by the two captives, and Iphigenia is instructed as to her actions and as to what to tell the king in order to deceive him.
In the Greek, the fugitives get on board their ship, and, meeting with a storm, are driven back into the harbor and almost shipwrecked. They only escape by the intervention of Minerva, who induces Neptune to quiet the waves. Minerva also influences Thoas to relinquish his pursuit of the Greeks and to permit them to depart in safety. The whole conclusion of the Greek play is much different from the German. Goethe makes Iphigenia lose heart and disclose to Thoas the whole plan and beg his forgiveness and permission to depart in peace, which he gives.
These are the chief points of difference, so far as the mere formal is concerned.
It appears at first sight that Goethe has followed too closely his Greek model; but when we take a closer insight into the German play,
The Courier-Review.

we see that he has deviated a great deal from the Greek, probably more than he realized he was doing.
If we are asked which is the greater and more complete of the two works, we must hesitate, for the standpoint from which they are to be viewed must be first chosen. As a drama to be played, the Iphigenia of Euripides is much the superior of that of Goethe, for several reasons, first among which is the faithfulness to life of the Greek. While the Greek story seems somewhat stilted in its style to us, the spirit of the drama, the real character of the personages is more in accordance with the common run of mortals, and is therefore the better to present before an audience. The Greek characters are real living beings, people such as we see around us every day, while the German characters are more ideal, better and truer men and women to be sure, but just that much farther from the reality. Goethe changes the rough and cruel Thoas of Euripides to the high minded, true hearted suitor of Iphigenia. He makes from the revengeful king a generous and noble barbarian, who is willing to give up Iphigenia and sacrifice his love, not because of his superstitious fear of the gods, but because his heart tells him to. Thoas gives the priestess permission to depart for her native land, when the departing deprives him of the woman he loves.
Goethe makes the counselor of Iphigenia, Arkas, with whom she can converse as with a friend and confidential adviser, out of one of the most uninteresting characters in the Greek play.
Then there is another point wherein Goethe sacrifices the real. The very love of Thoas for Iphigenia, which Goethe makes such an important and interesting element in his drama, is too romantic, when the time and situation are considered. It is scarcely probable that the king of the Taurians, a fierce and barbarous people, who have followed from time immemorial the custom of sacrificing on the altar of their goddess all strangers that came to their shores,—it is scarcely probable that this king should conceive for a strange Greek woman
such an unselfish love, especially when the tribal hatreds were as bitter as they were at that time. Neither does it seem entirely consistent that one weak woman, who is receiving the hospitality of a fierce race, should be able to influence the whole people to give up a time honored custom, one which their forefathers have followed for generations before them. And yet Goethe has his Iphigenia do this.
Then again the excuse which Goethe's Greeks give for carrying away the image of the goddess, that is, the mistaken interpretation of the command of Apollo, while very ingenious, is too fanciful, and not so well suited for an audience as is the idea of the fugitives carrying away both the image and the priestess.
Aside from what has been mentioned, the Greek is more of a real drama in its close, although not in accordance with modern realistic doctrines. The sudden appearance of the goddess Minerva to intervene and settle the dispute is more dramatic than the close of Goethe's play. It may be said that this feature alone is more improbable than any of Goethe's, but we must remember that it was perfectly familiar and plausable to the minds of the time, and in fact was the very strongest thing that Euripides could have brought in to close his play, for it gave the audience the satisfaction of seeing the cruel king rebuked and the favorites upheld.
A good tragedy must both elicit our sympathies and cause us to fear for one or more of the characters. Euripides' version does all this, but Goethe's only part. We sympathise it is true, but with all parties concerned, and the fear which we should feel for Iphigenia and the captives is greatly lessened by the noble character of Thoas, which almost assures us that he is too generous hearted to injure anyone very greatly.
But now that we have viewed the subject from one side, let us turn to the other. Let us take a look at the two works from a purely literary standpoint, and ascertain if possible the comparative worth of the two from the students side. It is here that Goethe has risen above the mark set by his model. It is here
104
The Courier Review.
that his wonderful genius has shown itself by setting so harmoniously within a classic frame a picture drawn from a modern ideal.
If the style of Euripides is superior to Goethe's (which seems doubtful at times), it is little more than we could expect. Euripides was writing within his own atmosphere. He was restrained by no foreign limits, by no models. He was following out his own ideas of form and style. On the contrary, Goethe was limited. It was more or less a hindrance upon his great genius to move within such narrow bounds,—yet it is here that his genius has the most clearly shown its capabilities. For if Goethe's style does not equal that of Euripides, it lacks but little, very little. Many think it much superior to the Greek's. The strong even movement of those mighty lines inspires us at times with something that seems more than a mere reflection of the genius of the great German.
A mere careless reading of the two dramas shows the reader one of the great differences between them; but it is only after some thought and consideration that the reason therefor becomes apparent. We refer to the difference in the center of interest. In the Greek, the greatest interest is aroused by the friendship of the two comrades, Orestes and Pylades, each of whom so generously contended for death, in order that the other may live and return safe to his country. They have been friends for years and have gone through great dangers together. Their attachment for each other is more like the love of brothers than the ties of common friendship.
In the German, our main interest turns from the friends and rests upon and around the priestess, whom Goethe has made the heroine of his story. The reason for this is evident, after it is once perceived. It is the wonderful character of Iphigenia herself. It is her peculiar faithfulness to what she deems the right. Just here is the the great dissimilarity between the two versions. Goethe has followed well and closely his classical model, but he has put into his production something that the Greek did not have to put into his. He has brought
into his story the spirit of Christianity, which he respected and revered in spite of his many so-called "heretical" utterances. He has given to his heroine an ideal character such as we seldom see among ordinary mortals. In the first part of the drama, we see Goethe's Iphigenia standing firmly for the right, in demanding the rescue of all strangers from the altar of the goddess.
She refused an offer of marriage from the king—an offer which would have made her the first woman in the land—for the reason that she feels her duty towards her parents and her country, and because she does not love him. How many women of the present day would refuse an offer comparatively as advantageous, with only such reasons? Few indeed.
Yet Iphigenia feels a respect for and gratitude to Thoas, as her benefactor and foster-father, which prevents her from leaving him in anger, or from even deceiving him concerning their escape. Do we notice any tender conscience in the Iphigenia of Euripides? By no means. The Greek priestess even invents lies which she tells so boldly to the king, and carries out the whole plot with no remorse whatever, while the German girl cannot even successfully tell the lie which is given her to tell.
The gentle character of Goethe's heroine appeals all the stronger to us, when we think of the terrible race from which she is descended. She shows none of the resentment and bitterness at her fate, which we would expect from a descendant of the house of Tantalus. In this respect again, does Euripides come nearer to the real and Goethe near to the ideal.
The German drama closes too much like a romance, too much like a fairy tale to come near to life. There must be no bloodshed to spoil the effect of the pure character of the priestess, and therefore a reconciliation takes place, and the characters shake hands and make up, just like the little boys and girls in the children's story book.. The close is beautiful to be sure and strictly in keeping with the spirit of the tale, and leaves us more than ever impressed with the sublime character of the pure girl and the devout priestess.

One of the most successful farce-comedies of the season is "A Railroad Ticket," which comes to the Opera House Dec. 17. Undoubtedly the chief reason for its pronounced success is that it if filled with fun. From start to finish the food for laughter is dealt out with lavish hand. What is more, the unflagging humor is new and springs spontaneously from every-day hapenings and experiences. In constructing "A Railroad Ticket," the author left the beaten path of farce-comedy far to one side. He entirely eschews the ancient gags and devices. No siphon bottles nor crashing crockery enter into his theme of diversion. The superabundance of humor, crowding every scene, is good, original and irresistible. In the line of legitimate comedy, the laughable situations are worked up. Of the best and fetching kind is the music. A mechanical adjunct is an electric car, fully equipped, well filled with passengers and in rapid motion, and a rain-making machine in operation. The

Maurice Alden has exchanged overcoats with some one. About three weeks ago he wore his overcoat, which was a new blue one, up to the University. He hung his hat and coat in the hall, and at eleven o'clock took his hat to go over to Snow Hall. When he came back he placed his hat on the same hook with what he supposed was his overcoat. It, however, afterwards proved not to be such. At one o'clock, when he went to his dinner, he carried the overcoat on his arm, and as the warm weather continued, he did not wear the overcoat again for some time. As soon as he had occasion to wear it, he discovered his mistake, and since that time has been looking for his own coat. His search has proved in vain, and he desires to state that he wishes the man who has his coat would make himself known so he can trade coats back again.
A Most Deplorable Affair.
A very sad incident happened Sunday afternoon when Mr. Jay was married to a prominent young lady of the University. The wedding took place at the bride's home, the "Ladies' Club," Rev. Bowker officiating. The fact that they are really married is most deplorable, as the contracting parties were not especially adapted for each other. The groom has decided to face the music manfully though. The unfortunate affair happened in this way: After a most enjoyable dinner at the Ladies' Club it was proposed that one of the guests, Mr. Jay, and one of the fairest ladies of the Club go through the farce of a mock marriage. This was done in the most approved manner by Rev. Bowker, who was present, although he omitted kissing the bride. Now, by the laws of Kansas, according to Attorney Lamb, '96, this marriage is legal.
The bride is one of the prettiest young ladies of the school. The groom is one of the best
"catches" of the season; he is a young man of high moral standing, has a fine education, is very handsome, and counts his friends by the score. The couple, after their honeymoon, will be at home at 1531 Tenn. St.
Economic Seminary.
The most interesting meeting of the Economic Seminary that has yet been held was the one last Monday evening in the library building. A larger attendance than ever before was present.
Mr. R. W. Cone reviewed the book entitled "The Repudiation of State Debts," by William A. Scott, assistant professor of political economy in the University of Wisconsin. The review was extremely interesting, and held the attention of all throughout.
S. S. Brown reviewed two articles in the Annals of the American Academy.
C. R. Troxel reviewed an article in the North American Review, after which the Seminary engaged in a general discussion of the topics of the day.
MUSIC HALL ECHOES.
The first students' song recital was given Wednesday, and proved to be very enjoyable. The program was rendered entirely by the vocal students, and the finished and artistic rendering of the various solos gave evidence of very careful training.
We were warned that the next two weeks would be full of attractions, and that we must take the best and leave the rest, so that the classes should not suffer. However, there are three events next week that we cannot afford to miss. Monday evening Mrs. Clark's pupils will give an elocation entertainment in the chapel of the University. Tuesday the Christmas Concert will be given, to which all are invited. Wednesday take a rest. Thursday Mrs. Clark's Sophomore class on the hill will give a physical culture exhibition, including an exhibition of fencing; also Indian club swinging, in which the Music Hall class will assist. There will be a charge of twenty-five cents admission to this, the proceedings to be

used to buy the masks, etc., needed in fencing. The place for this exhibition is not yet decided so please watch the papers for announcements.
We hope none of our students will miss the art exhibit that is being held close to Music Hall, under the auspices of the Art Club. It is the finest exhibition of its kind ever held in this town. There are about two hundred pictures, each one a gem of value. The art students will go as a matter of course, but do not let us be narrow simply because we are studying music, remembering that the true artist is a lover of the "highest" in every branch of art. We understand that some well known faces will greet us from the walls, in the portraits of the Chancellor and Dr. Cordley, "as large as life and twice as natural." The exhibition begins Thursday and continues three days, ending Saturday evening.
Meeting of the "Non-Ringsters."
We would not take up your valuable space in making a reply to the childish attack of the editor of the "Rring" organ, suffice it to say that he must realize the truth of our position or else it would not take such pains to combat it. We only desire to get a pin satisfactory to all without regard to "King" politics. With such an aim we have examined fairly and squarely upon their merit all designe submitted, having in view these objects: artisticness, suitability to University of Kansas, and cost to the students. After careful consideration we have decided as the most feasible plan to submit the designs most approved by the committee. We have a few designe not placed upon the bulletin board, but in the main they are the same.
The design selected by the committee is a penant somewhat similar to Harvard, which can be obtained in two forms: one in silver with crimson enamel and the letters K. of U. across it in silver is very neat and artistic, as reasonable in price, being within the reach of all. Price 25 cents. The other in gold with the letters in gold or white enamel on the crimson, making a very pretty and rich effect. This
can also be obtained very cheaply. Price $1. It only remain with the students and faculty now to hand in their orders as soon as possible so we can obtain advantage of these low rates. Orders may be left at the treasurers office.
Signed,
THE COMMITTEE.
Society Notes.
The reception given by Chancellor and Mrs. Snow to all the University Professors and students last Friday evening in Library Hall was a most enjoyable society event. The brilliantly lighted rooms, adorned with palms, ferns and chrysanthemums and filled with gay groups of people, presented a very pleasing scene. Mandolin and guitar music and a little dancing late in the evening added to the enjoyment of the guests.
A wedding which has created a great deal of interest among University young people took place last Sunday at half past two o'clock at the Kalandaloph Club. It was rather a surprise to the bride and groom as well as to the friends of both parties, but notwithstanding its being an impromptue affair the usual accompaniments of rice and wedding marches was not omitted. The only regret on this gladsome occasion was that expressed by' the officiating minister when he was refused permission to kiss the bride. The COURIER-REVIEW extends congratulations to the groom and best wishes for much joy to the bride.
Football.
The notice has been published and the day set for the election of the Captain for the season of "95." As the time approaches many candidates appear in the field, most of them being good men for the place; heretofore the vote has been almost for one man, but this year the election promises to be a sharp one and the man elected will have but a small majority over his competitors. The candidates already in the field are: Piatt, Armour, Hill, Pope and Matteson. All of these would make good captains, but what is wanted is the man who will make the best captain; the man who will get the best possible work out of every man

training. Let all political schemes be thrown aside and all those eligible to vote, cast their vote for the man who in their estimation will make the best captain for the team. This man is not nesessarily the best player, for not always would the best player make a good captain, but after taking all things into consideration, vote for the man who will make the team, which will represent the University and the State during the season of "95," one that we can all be proud of.
K. U. Gets Her Share.
In this week's number of Harper's Weekly is found quite an interesting article on Western Football, something which particularly interests the football enthusiasts of our University. The writer of the above has picked, from the different teams in the west, a team which in his opinion would be the strongest that might be picked from the men who played in this year's games. Kansas University has more men on this team than any other University, the men from here being: Williamson, Stone, Steinberger, and Shellenbarger. Baker comes next with Taylor, Toomey, and Hamill. Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, and Doane, each have one: Latimer from Missouri, Connelly from Iowa, Flippin from Nebraska, and Lee from Doane. The line up is as follows:
R. E., Taylor, Baker.

ROUTE
WHEN KINGS
& BARONS RULED the common people were not supposed to care for luxuries. Now the day laborer enjoys more luxury than the Plantagenets dreamed of having, and they were thought to have corralled every pleasure,
There is no reason why everyone should not take short or long trips over the ever-popular, ever-ready and ever-improving SANTA FE ROUTE. It costs no more to ride in luxury in one of our fine coaches day car, chair car, or Pullman-on quick time and safe track, than if you went by other blowing-whistling-backing-and-sudden-stopping trains.
You will realize this should you take the Santa Fe Route to California. When it is cool or cold in the East, is the right time to see the California summer land.

THE COURIER-REVIEW through its representations has been bending every energy for the last month to obtain one University paper. Realizing that if all the strength now put into the separate papers could be united that it would not only be more to the credit of the University but also to the individuals in charge. We have felt also that the merchants have been unnecessarily pestered and harassed in times past to support the different papers. Having these points in view we have proposed several plans to the representatives of the Students Journal which although the Faculty committee considered them
fair and guaranteeing the rights of all, the Students Journal has rejected, and insists that the only combination that it will agree to is for the other papers to buy stock in the Students Journal. Now as this eminently unfair to us we can not accede to it. However not wishing that the desire of the Faculty and merchants for one University paper should come to nothing on account of the unreasonableness of part of the Students Journal Co., we have decided to suspend the publication of the Courier-Review and take stock in a combined paper. This combined paper as outlined by the newspaper company agrees to give to a holder of a share in any of the old papers a share in the combined; stock is also open to any member of the University. All officers shall be elected by a majority vote of the stockholders, care being taken to secure those best fitted for the position. The rights of all shall be protected and the paper shall not be run in the interest of any faction. Any officer unfit for his position may be removed on the request of the Faculty company. The stock-holders of the Review Co., have also voted to suspend publication and take shares in the combined paper, some of the Students Journal Co., as well have taken stock. So now if the merchants are really in earnest in their desire for one University paper they will give all their patronage to the combined paper and refuse to support any faction that tries to run its own organ in spite of the combination. There are always some disgruntled spirits, who if they can't run a thing will pitch in and fight it, so the combined paper will of course meet with opposition. But if all those who claim to want one University paper are sincere there can be no donbt of its success. Let us all put our shoulder to the wheel and make a go of it this time.

The Courier Review.
GOOD BOOKS includes more than the sombre colored text books. We do not minimize the importance of the latter however. Study thoroughly even absorb the instructions of the school book, for it contains the principles and elementary truths of a certain branch of knowledge, but do not become a text book fossil and think all knowledge secured between their backs. Study some living issues as well. An article on Coxeyism will mix well with the lesson in political economy, or a story of the day will be refreshing after an excavation in Greek. A college course should teach you to read, reason and reflect, it should develop your observation, judgment and self-dependence.
THE PERFORMANCE of certain moral obligations may become just as much a matter of habit as going to meals and being a part of the general scheme, not appear to encroach on time that belongs to something else. It is impossible of course, for one to engage in every form of activity that he sees about him. The line must be drawn somewhere and the whole matter becomes a matter of relative importance. Answer the question as to the relative importance of all these lines of activity and then work consistently along the course established. Thus there will be, in the later backward glance, no aching void but rather a sense of satisfaction that comes from a right use of time.
PREPARATION FOR any calling must keep pace with the times. An officer who seeks promotion in the army simply because he is proficient in military tactics as employed forty years ago would fail, and with good reasons. Likewise a science teacher though well versed in his department twenty years ago, would find himself seriously embarrassed in an attempt to teach natural philosophy as laid down by recent text books. The same is true to a greater or less extent in those lines of work, and we as students should be watchful, lest living too much in the past we imbibe to much of its spirit and find ourselves outstripped in the race of life when we leave the University halls, for the simple reason that we are not familiar with present conditions and requirements.
SOMETIMES we are inclined to place patience at the top of the list of virtues. Especially is its importance made manifest in the relations that exist between instructor and students. The successful instructor is, first, one who is able to inspire in his students admiration for his superior attainments, and not less important who has the grace to kindly lead his pupils and never to fretfully drive them. K. U. is very fortunate in having on her faculty a number who are thus gifted with that rare patience which tends to bring out whatever in the student, is worthy of being developed. On the other hand, the progressive student is he who possesses in a considerable degree the faculty of patience. In its very derivation the word scholar means one who is willing to devote time to the mastery of that which he has in hand, and this implies patience.
THE COLLEGE student, while in contact with people and things, is oftentimes made the mark for every aim at information. He has been away at college for four years, and now the neighbors, good, kind souls, who have never been privileged as he, expect to see him return a prodigy, a being transformed in the mysterious college mint. A question is put to him and he is expected to reply without a moment's pause, even if it be to account for some inexplicable phenomenon. His admiring friends consider him as having been a sort of sponge while at college, continually receiving facts and information, and supposing him to have been "full" at graduation, expect him to emit knowlege as freely as the above mentioned article does water. If the student hesitates a moment, or is utterly unable to answer, the older people are puzzled, while the younger ones, enviously hoping within themselves "to go to college," but disdaining to betray such feelings, turn exultingly away.
I do not care to vote, she said,
I hate this suffrage rant,
But I don't want some horrid man
To tell me that I can't.
I'll just provide the text as it is.

LITERARY.
The Influence of the College Woman. [Summary of Mrs. Kingsley's address]
The subject was introduced by considering the main purpose of an education; not the possibilities of gaining through it material success, but the development that ought to come through it, of culture and character.
The man or woman whose associates are the best models of all literatures naturally has higher ideals than one whose life is spent in contact only with the national interest of daily work.
For this reason there ought to be found in the ranks of co-educational institutions women who have the leisure to devote themselves to work beyond the limits of the curriculum Women feel now that a life without active interests is no life at all, and in the future college women will surely do new and strong work in all fields of advancement. In fact, college women today are really re-creating the system of philanthropy and are doing the best work, through the college settlements in this country. A description of the work in the Hull House of Chicago, illustrated this statement.
The power of the Higher Education is no greater in the world outside the home, than within the homes. Whole communities of mothers with "the knowing and thinking mind" as President Dwight calls the college bud mind, would do more to insure the permanence of our nation than any other condition, because this bears in it elements for transmission. Young women still within the college may and ought to do a very high work in raising the standard of social life in this Alma Mater. For the good of society we need an elevated standard of inter-course between young men and women and it ought to be from co-educational institutions that the world be taught the true meaning of that relationship called friendship.
Among college youth, should be a clear understanding of the vast difference between sentiment and sentimentality. It should be therefore the aim of college young women to elevate
this standard of comradeship. This they may do by their refined and dignified deportment during college life. Education must be united with social culture and refinement to be a force in the world, Emmerson's essay on Behavior presents this with great power. This culture the college woman must acquire through her own observation, self-reliance and self-government. If she bend her energies and perceptions to acquiring this culture, she will not only receive a symetrical culture, but the world will be richer for an added moral force.
Each young woman's loyalty to her Alma Mater, and her interest in its future influence should incite her to the upbuilding and ennobling of the social side of college life, and at its close she will have a higher education that will be a culture united to an education that elevates and relieves the taste, arouses the sympathies and intensifies the sentiments.
Through the dissemination of such culture throughout our land by our college women, society will be founded upon a social purity that will make men noble and women the polished stones of the corner.

The heavy rain on Saturday afternoon made it necessary to postpone Mrs. Kingsley's talk to the girls of the University until Monday afternoon, when she was greeted by a large and interested audience. The talk was upon the Influence of College Women and was both instructive and entertaining. Before the lecture it was voted that a formal vote of thanks be given Mrs. Brooks and Mrs. Weaver, to whose generous efforts the study and resting room, which has been provided for the girls, in the library building, is due. Several special gifts toward furnishing the room were acknowledged, among them a sofa pillow from Kappa Alpha Theta and a large rug from Pi Beta Phi.
The Captain for " '95".
As announced from the bulletin boards, the election of Captain for the seaaon of "95", was held on Friday. After a short discussion as to the best method for balloting, the vote was taken and the result announced by manager McKinnon. Armour was elected with Piatt and Matterson following. In electing Armour, the team has done its work well and will never have cause to regret what it has done. Amour is not only a good foot-ball player, but also a good all around athletie familiar with the methods and ways of training, and a man who has had not a little experience in that line.
The COURIER-REVIEW wishes to extend its congratulations both to the team and to Mr. Armour.

We don't object to having the city papers copy our locals if they give us credit, but we do object when a paper copies our local column and sends it out over the state as their own. It seems to us that they are entirely lacking in even common newspaper courtesy.
The Oberlin Glee Club will be here on Dec. 26th, and from all reports we are lead to believe that it is one of the best on the road. They are all trained musicians and will introduce some features differing from the common. It is unfortunate for our students that they are to appear here during vacation, but we would urge upon all who are in town to be sure and attend. The club would be pleased to meet as many as possible of our students after the concert.
Football in the East.
As the western people obtained their knowledge of the game of football from the east, they are more or less interested in the teams of that section of the country. For the past six years some authority in the east has picked what he considered a team which would be composed of the eleven best players, which was to be called the "All American" team. A careful study of the playing of the men during the season is taken and a short time after the last game has been played the above mentioned team is chosen, simply as an honor.
Mr. Caspar Whitney of the Harpers Weekly has chosen the following men as members of the All American team for 1894.
Butterworth, full, and Capt. Yale.
Knipe, half back, U. of Penn.
Brooke, half back, U. of Penn.
Adee, quarter back, Yale.
Stillman, centre, Yale.
Wheeler, guard, Princeton.
Hickok, guard, Yale.
Waters, tackle, Harvard.
Lea, Tackle, Princeton.

Gilbert, end, U. of Penn.
SUBSTITUTES.
Beard, Yale; Wharton, U. of Penn; A. Brewer Harvard; Holly, Princeton, for the line. Ohl, Cornell; C. Brewer, Harvard; Thorne, Yale; Ward, Princeton; behind the line.
The Non-Ringster Pin.
The Non-Ringster Committee can not but be flattered by the reception with which their report has been met. All seem to appreciate their efforts in securing such a suitable design, at such a small cost to the students. Of course there are a few who are dissatisfied because their own design was not adopted, but as a whole the students are well pleased. We are glad that at last the University has an emblem which can be worn by its students at any time and place. There is no necessity for any student to be without a pin at this reasonable charge and we hope all will provide themselves with one as speedily as possible.
Bible Lectures.
Under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A., a course of lectures on the Bible has been arranged. These lectures will be given by different Professors of the University, and are to begin in January just after the close of the Christmas vacation. The course will include:
I. Lectures on manuscripts, texts, and translations of the Bible, by Prof. Wilcox.
II. Lectures on Bible Ethics, by Prof. Templin.
III. Lecture on Hebrew Institutions by Prof. Blackmar.
IV. Lectures on Job, by Prof. Dunlap.
V. Lecture on the Life of the Apostle Paul by Prof. Hopkins.
There will be one lecture each week, on Wednesday at 5 o'clock, at the University. Students, city people and all interested are invited to attend.
W. C. DICK,
J. HAMAKER } COMMITTEE
Language Conference.
At the meeting of the Conference, Dec. 14, Mr. Dickinson read a paper on the "Philotas" of Lessing. Philotas written after Greek models is a one act tragedy on a patriotic subject. The young prince Philotas captured by the enemy decides he may best serve his country by taking his own life. Pity instead of admiration is aroused for the young man. He dies commending himself to the goddess of Peace as her
114
The Courier-Review.
especial sacrifice. To the Greeks, Philotas was not an improbable person. He had been from childhood imbued with the idea that death was preferable to disgrace. Philotas was the first attempt of the reform for which Diderot and Lessing had been working.
A handful of translations from Logan by Mrs. W. H. Carruth was the principal paper of the afternoon. Friederick von Logan belongs to the seventeenth century. Writers generally speak of Logan's century in German as a dreary waste, a desert exhausted by the thirty years war. Logan furnishes an oasis in this desert. He was a writer Sinuegedichte on epigranes.
Longfellow translated twelve gems of Logan in exquisite English setting. For a time Logan was forgotten. To Lessing belongs the credit of rediscovering the forgotten poet.
Logan belongs to a noble but impoverished family. He claimed his rhymes were for his friends. He bewailed the introduction of foreign customs resulting from the employment of foreign troops. He criticised the vice of the time, drunkenness. Unlike other seventeenth century writers he spoke well of women. For his verse, he touched on death, law, court life, his ancestral home. He was independent in religion and yet was fairly optimistic.
Music Hall Echoes.
The holidays are pretty close now, and the most one hears on all sides is "where are you going?" "What are you going to do?" It seems from what one can gather down here that most of the Music Hall students are going to study in view of the awful examinations that hang like a cloud over the latter end of January! Well, the study won't do any harm provided it is done without worrying so, let ( + study — worry) be our formula.
Professors and students are breathing more freely now for the Christmas Elocution entertainment and the Christmas concerts are over.
In the former Mrs. Clarks' pupils did themselves proud as usual. The comment of one among the audience that Mrs. Clark had the faculty of imparting knowledge to her students
and at the same time leaving the individuality of each one to show itself just about hit the mark.
We lift our hearts in thankfulness that our elocution teacher will have nothing but what is true to nature and says away with all attempts to imitate the comic opera dancer or to work upon the feelings of the audience by affectation and mandolin effects.
It is generally conceded that the Christmas concert was one of the best ever given. "Variety is charming" and therein lay part of its charm, the remainder lying in the class of music played, which while it was classical in character had sufficient sparkle to tickle the ears of the audience. Each performed his or her part excellently well, and as each number was rendered and the program completed, one could not help wondering if the audience then or ever realizes what an enormous amount of work and anxiety the getting up of such an entertainment is. You would have known something of it had you been anywhere near music hall of late, and perhaps could grasp a little idea from the very serious faces of some of our professors last night, one in particular seemed to forget that he knew how to smile! Some one said after it was over, "we are going to have something of a glee club this year," and judging from that quartette it is doubtless so.
We wish all a Merry Christmas and a prosperous and studious New Year.

University Medical College,
KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI.
The Fourteenth Annual Session will begin September 14, 1894, and continues six months. The next session offers greatly improved facilities for study. The curriculum is embraced in three regular graded courses of lectures, with special clinics at several hospitals and practical instruction in the special laboratory departments of Histology and Bacteriology, Chemistry and Operative Surgery Clinical and practical teaching is a feature of the schools, especial attention given to having each student familiarize himself with the diseases met with in the west. Abundance of opportunity is thus afforded, and class is never too large to give every student personal instruction.
There are twenty-nine professors and instructors in this school, most of whom are officially connected with almost every prominent hospital in and about Kansas City, and matriculants have ready access to the clinical service of these institutions. A hospital controlled by the Faculty adjoins the college.
The college building is one of the most complete and convenient in the west, additions having been made which more than double its capacity. With liberal appointments in every way, the college is well equipped for affording a thorough course of instruction in all the departments of medicine and surgery.

SANTA FE
ROUTE
WHEN KINGS
& BARONS RULED
people were not supposed to care for luxuries. Now the day laborer enjoys more luxury than the Plantagenets dreamed of having, and they were thought to have corralled every pleasure,
There is no reason why everyone should not take short or long trips over the ever-popular, ever-ready and ever-improving SANTA FE ROUTE. It costs no more to ride in luxury in one of our fine coaches day car, chair car, or Pullman-on quick time and safe track, than if you went by other blowing-whistling-backing-and-sudden-stopping trains.
You will realize this should you take the Santa Fe Route to California. When it is cool or cold in the East, is the right time to see the California summer land.
Our handsomely illustrated book, "To California and Back," tells the story.
