THE STUDENTS JOURNAL greets its readers upon their return from what it trusts was a very happy vacation for everyone. Now that the fall term, with its distractions in the form of elections and vacations, is nearly over, the student can get down to work in earnest. From now on there will be comparatively little to take his attention away from study. In work done, the second term is always far more fruitful than the first The few remaining weeks of the present term may well be spent in preparing "to withstand the wily examinations of the faculty. For ye wrestle not against flesh and blood but against mummified languages, against unknown quantities, and against unsolvable problems Above all take upon yourselves the shield of Rhetoric wherewith ye may be able, through a display of eloquence, to mystify the Powers."
To the students, and to the citizens of Lawrence we wish to say; Please give neither credence nor circulation to the wild rumors of misbehavior of our Glee Club at some places on the route. It is very much to be regretted that these rumors have been
told and believed, and much more to be regretted that there was even the slightest foundation for them. The blame, however, should not be placed upon any members of the Club excepting the very few whose actions were objectionable.
BEFORE our next issue, the staff of this paper for the coming term will have been selected. The present staff has no "administration candidates" to urge upon the stockholders; it has no "axe to grind." It merely wishes the company to do as it has done in the past; select for each position the man best fitted to fill it in a way helpful to the best interests of the whole University. The personal efforts of the members of the staff will be exerted in that direction. The call for election will be found elsewhere in this issue.
The interesting information in our Harvard letter, concerning Harvard's library building, will perhaps be something of a surprise to the students. We are so used to looking up to Harvard as the pink of perfection among American schools, that we are astonished to learn that its library

THE STUDENTS JOURNAL.
building is in many ways inferior to our own excellent Spooner Library. Mr. Van Brunt, of the firm which planned our library, was also the architect of the most satisfactory part of Harvard's library, the addition containing the book stack. However, we are informed by Miss Watson, who spent considerable time working in Harvard's library building a few years ago, that even this addition is far less satisfactory than our own book-stack. As was to be expected, Mr. Van Brunt's experience enabled him to create for Kansas University a library approximately perfect. Nor should we forget to give to Professor Blake the credit due for the excellent system of electric lighting which he planned for Spooner Library.
In the matter of rules, too, we are fortunate. Although our rules are hardly as liberal in some respects as those of Harvard, the better facilities offered in the library here make it unnecessary that they should be so. But our rules are fully as liberal as it has been found practicable to make them, and the library is open ten hours a day instead of only a few hours, as is the custom in many schools. We may well be proud of our library.
Yes, the Courier-Review, as is stated in its issue of Dec. 21st., "has been bending every energy for the last month to obtain one University paper." Indeed we think that that paper may lay aside its very becoming modesty and say that "one University paper" is the goal toward which it has striven ever since the first issue of the STUDENTS JOURNAL. The trouble is that the "one University paper" is the Courier-Review, or a paper in which the faction running that paper would have undue influence.
The statement that the STUDENTS JOURNAL has rejected every proposition except one providing for the Courier-Review stockholders to take stock in the STUDENTS JOURNAL Company, is so evidently untrue that no one will be deceived by it. The position taken by the STUDENTS JOURNAL is clearly stated in the issues of Dec. 14th and 21st, in the first of which will be found a full report of the meeting at which each paper presented a plan, both of which were approved by the faculty, contrary to the statements made in the Courier-Review.
The plan proposed in the last Courier-Review as the basis for their new company is stated in such general language that it may mean much or little. "The paper shall not be run in the interests of any faction, "the Courier Review says; but it is very careful not to commit itself by stating definitely how this is to be guaranteed. The whole article is sufficiently vague to cover any trickery. One statement is made,how ever, that is sufficiently clear in meaning. It is that the Courier-Review has decided to suspend publication." The business men of Lawrence understand this perfectly. The Courier Review is no more. There is now but one University paper.
Regents' Report.
Since our last issue the ninth biennial report of the Board of Regents, and officers of the University, covering the years '92-'93 and '93-'94, has been published. After mentioning the flattering successes and prospects of the institution, the Board recommends that the income of the University be increased, preferably by an annual tax levy to keep pace with the increasing number of students; and also that appropriations be made for the erection of a new chemistry building and a museum building The Board also urges that the proposed geological and irrigation survey be placed under the direction of the University.
The Chancellor's report gives in detail the changes in the faculty and in the courses of instruction as well as important information concerning other matters connected with the University. This report shows in detail the pressing need for a larger income and special appropriations for the University. Fewer changes have taken place in the list of instructors during the past two years than during any other equal time since the establishment of the University. A tax of three tenths of a mill each year would furnish the necessary income of $100,000. Nebraska's university tax is three eights of a mill The financial statement of treasurer Moody completes the report.

Notes From Harvard.
In writing the long-promised letter for the STUDENTS JOURNAL I select first of all the Harvard Library because of the new library at K. U. and because it is the library presumably, that the student is most likely to feel an interest in. I can of course speak only of its most obvious and striking features. But I trust these will not be without interest.
The Harvard library building is a rather massive, gray stone, gothic structure, evidently intended to be regarded as a work of art, yet looking much more like a steepleless church than a library. The transept forms the reading room; the body of the church, the book stack. As regards the chief need of a library, next to books, that is, good light. I believe the one word most in use is "abominable". The windows are not plentiful nor well arranged and what there are, are of ground glass: the light from which is especially fitted for ruining the eyes. There are no facilities for lighting the building and it is regularly closed at sundown. Frequently it becomes too dark to read at 3 o'clock. The windows of the book stack, it should be remarked, are of clear glass, but only a few students can be admitted to the stack.
These disadvantages in regard to light are counterbalanced to some extent by very liberal privileges in regard to taking out books. Of books not reserved for class use, three may be taken at a time and kept for one month. Bound volumes of magazines may be taken out, but for one week only. Three reserved books may also be taken over night, as may also current numbers of magazines. Newspapers are not kept by the Library for general use, but are filed away for the use of future generations of students. This strikes one as strange, at first, but when the constant mutilation of newspapers at K.U.is remembered and at the same time the prime necessity that the newspapers of the day will be to the future historian, it seems not an unwise restriction The long life through which Harvard has already gone and the opportunities of this sort which she can now see she has missed in the past have given her a fore-sight. It is but too often we neglect the history that is "being made" around us.
Will not a day come when K. U. will sorely miss the newspapers and pamphlets, ephemeral to be sure, but all the more valuable to the historian for that very reason, which are the true sources of the history of what may perhaps be called "the late populist movement in Kansas"?
Besides the college library, there are several special libraries, in different buildings, in which are to be found the most generally used works in the several departments. Some of these smaller libraries are open until 10 o'clock at night; others allow books to be laken out over night. Nor does this complete the list of library facilities which are open to the Harvard student. A five minutes walk brings one to the Cambridge Public library from which books may be taken without any fee; and electric cars from the square take one directly to the Boston Public Library the superior in a great many respects of that of the college itself.
The College Library. the Cambridge Public Library and if I am not mistaken the Boston Public Library are open for readers only on Sunday afternoon.
Harvard has a large and flourishing Cooperative Society for the furnishing of books and other supplies to the students. Membership costs one dollar. Goods are sold at the regular retail prices of Boston, which are considerably below those of Cambridge, and each member is credited with the profit on every purchase, which is given back as a dividend at the beginning of the Next Year, expenses being first deducted. The chief trade is in books, which cost from ten to twenty-five percent less than in Lawrence.
Another Harvard institution which will doubtless be of interest to K. U. students is the Foxcraft Eating Club. It was formed only a few years ago and now has a membership of nearly four hundred. Meals are served on the European plan, each member filling out a card with the names and prices of the things he wants and signing his name. The waiters are all students who are thus enabled to earn their board. The convenience and saving of such a club as this can readily be imagined.
But perhaps what would be of more interest to readers of the JOURNAL is some of the first impressions of a Kansas man at Harvard, something of Harvard's methods

of work and the general character of her students. It is hazardous to speak of such things after so short a residence here as two months. However I will say a few words, reserving the right to take them all back in the future if I find it necessary.
In spite of the absence of the girls, whose presence is supposed to be so essential to the cultivation of good manners, the student here is more uniformly polite and much less of a rowdy. Perhaps it would be more correct to say there are fewer students who are rowdies or impolite. As regards more sterling qualities the advantage (I speak now of the undergraduate only) seems to be the other way. It is true you may see him here at all hours of the day busily reading in the library and taking voluminous notes; but he seems rather to be busy than to be working. He seems less enthusiastic over his work, less wrought up over the great truths of history or science which he learns. He is less eager to discuss them with his fellows. Perhaps it is because of this that he is less likely to be carried away by one idea.
I have wondered at times whether the much greater amount of system, or if you like, machinery, which one finds here, especially in the undergraduate courses, is really due, as at first it seems, so much to the large numbers of students in each class, as to a real relish of mechanical methods on the part of the students. There are some students, you know, who do not seem to think they are doing their work properly unless they are "grinding"-taking notes for instance. They enjoy their work because it is work and would never be guilty of mistaking it for play.
They rarely get so much interested in a book, unless it is exceptionally easy reading, as to forget to take notes on it. Such students, perhaps, are a little more numerous at Harvard than at K.U. But I must repeat, these are but first and hastily formed opinions.
The School of Fine Arts.
During the vacation the headquarters of the dean of the School of Fine Arts has been moved from Music Hall to the University. The old gymnasium has been fitted up for the purpose, and here will recite hereafter, the Freshman and Sophomore classes in Contrapnutal Harmony, the
Junior and Senior classes in Musical Composition. The Seminary for teachers and the large class in Musical History. The University vocal class will hold its session hereafter in the chapel on Thursday afternoon instead of on Friday at Music Hall. This chorus of 70 voices will soon be available for chapel exercises on Friday morning as they are nearly through sight reading, and have had an extensive drill on voice culture. The school by thus going on the hill will be brought more in touch with the University than ever before, and the result will be greatly to the advantage of both. The young ladies will see more of real college life and have the benefit of the library; and the chapel will have the benefit of available musical forces in the presence of Professor Penny and the choral class. Music Hall which has been so overcrowded will now be used by Professor Preyer director of the Piano department, Professor Farrell director of Voice culture and Violin departments, and Professor Clark director of the Painting department.
The grand piano now in Chapel is to remain there, having been secured for the use of chapel and concerts only. It is the one used by Professor Perry of Boston on his recent concert tour in the west.
And now for the pipe organ-A series of Faculty concerts are to be given in University Hall for the purpose of raising money, and other plans are being made. It is to be hoped that it can be secured for the Annual Spring oratorio which ought to be given In the chapel this year.
A decided effort is to be made to get the University Pipe Organ this spring so that it may be used for the graduating recitals in organ playing, oratorio work, and the Commencement exercises.
The Glee Club Quartette is to sing in Chapel once each week at the close of their concert season.
Next Monday evening the Oratorio Society will begin its regular season at Music Hall. The works to be taken up are "Gounod's Reception" which was so successfully rendered last season, and also Mendelssohn's "Hymn of Praise." There will be no expense to join the society this season, and all singers of the University are cordially invited to be present at the opening re-

State Historical Society
An abstract of the ninth biennial report of this society has just been issued. Perhaps no important association in the state is so little known to Kansans. The Society was formed in 1875 at a meeting of the State Editorial Association, and it is to the editors and publishers of Kansas that the Society is indebted for the larger part of the historical material now in its possession, the files of almost every paper in the state during the existence of the Society. Besides 15,409 bound volumes of periodicals and newspaper files, the Society has, in its rooms in the south wing of the State House, almost sixty five thousand volumes of books and pamphlets, and a large number of maps, manuscripts, pictures, and relics. This is a larger collection of local historical material than is contained in any other library in the world. The Society has also phonographic records of the voices of a number of Kansas governors.
An attempt will be made this winter to secure from the legislature more commodious quarters for the Society as well as more liberal appropriations to help on the important work being done by the association.

There is a rumor afloat to the effect that E. C. Hickey is soon to resign his position as principal of the Dickinson County high school, at Chapman, to accept a more lucrative position, and that Messenger has applied for the principalship.
From reports it would seem that Baker students, or some of them at least, are very forgetful. A senior, who attended the University for a while this fall, while spending his vacation in the northern part of Oswego County went hunting. While out, his supply of percussion caps was exhausted and he went to a farm-house where he procured more. He placed one on his gun, pulled the trigger, and let fire through the side of the house. He was very much surprised to find the gun loaded.

On Tuesday evening Professor Blackmar began a course of University extension lectures on political economy, in Leavenworth. Leavenworth appreciates the courses offered by the University. This is the second course that has been given there this year.
During the vacation the University has established a telephone exchange of its own. The stations are Snow Hall, Chemistry Building, Spooner Library, Boiler House and Treasurer's Office. The Office is the central station and there connection can be made with the city system.
The new Library and Agricultural Science Hall of the State Agricultural College was dedicated on the 28th ult. The dedicatory exercises were directed by the Kansas Academy of Science. At the banquet toasts were responded to by Chancellor Snow and Professors Sayre and Williston.
On the 28th ult. at the meeting of the State Teachers' Association in Topeka, Professor Templin read a paper on Unworthy Incentives to Scholarship and Right Conduct. Professor Hopkins presented a paper embodying the report of the committee on English. The University will issue this paper in pamphlet form.
Spalding's Athletic Library for December contains the Athletic Almanac, compiled by James E. Sullivan It contains over eighty closely printed pages giving all the English and American amateur records, with a list of American champions and portraits of many of them. This Almanac will be greatly appreciated by all interested in athletics as it gives accurate information upon matters which are often in dispute. American Sports Publishing Co., New York is the publisher.
The Atchison County High School, located at Effingham, has just commenced the publication of a very creditable quarterly. S.J. Hunter, K.U.'93 is principal of this school. The numerous graduates of the University who are teaching in the state are doing excellent work in improving the standard and spirit of education, and in unifying the whole school system of Kansas. Wherever they go they are keenly alive to the advantages of modern, improved, and original methods of education.
University Papers Again.
Notwithstanding the statements made in the Lawrence and Topeka papers lately there has as yet been no combination of the University papers. The STUDENTS JOURNAL is still published regularly, and is in excellent financial condition. The Courier-Review has suspended publication. The Courier-Review-Journal mentioned in the articles in the papers referred to, has no existence except in the minds of a few schemers. It is merely the Courier-Review under a name which they think will enable them to deceive the advertisers: but the business men have been so often deceived by these schemers that they will not easily be misled again.
The STUDENTS JOURNAL is now, as it has been all along, heartily in favor of any fair plan of combination, but it objects to having its name stolen. When the Courier-Review people found that this paper would not accept a proposition giving them an unfair advantage, they ceased to make any endeavor for a combination, and would consider no proposition made by those representing this paper. A prominent member the staff of the late Courier-Review was seen yesterday morning and very urgently requested that the STUDENTS JOURNAL make another proposition for a combination, thus showing that the talk of a Courier-Review Journal is a mere "bluff."
Students read the Capital.
The STUDENTS JOURNAL is now the only University paper. If the business men of Lawrence wish to have only one University paper they will refuse to give support to any new paper.

I hope you will get a good design for a K. U. pin. Don't copy any eastern pin. It was a great mistake to adopt Harvard's color. Harvard has crimson; Chicago, scarlet: Wisconsin, crimson; and several or hers crimsons or scarlets that I don't recall. Don't adopt a pennant, whatever you do. Every school in the East has it.

Notice to Stockholders.
In accordance with provisions of the constitution of the STUDENTS JOURNAL COMPANY, the election of officers of that company for the coming spring term will be held on next Tuesday, January 15th, at one o'clock in Room 14. The officers to be elected are: editor-in-chief, local editor, two business managers, secretary, and treasurer. By order of the Executive Committee.

Economic Seminary.
The Seminary will hold its first meeting since the holidays on Monday evening. January 4th, at half past seven o'clock, in the Seminary room of the Department of History and Sociology. J. H. Engle will read a paper on Topolobampo, a Communistic Experiment, and S. S. Brown will report on an important article in a recent economic periodical. All members should endeavor to be present promptly on time. The meeting will be a very interesting one.
Dean Penny has made some important changes in the work of his school, which are announced elsewhere in this issue. He is again using the room in the north tower lately used for the gymnasium. A number of years ago this room contained the whole of the Department of Music, which has now expanded into the School of Fine Arts under the able management of the Dean.
Fred Funston.
The lecture to be given this evening, on Alaska will be well worth the students' attendance. Mr. Funston's years of experience in the less known parts of Alaska give him information of great value and interest.
The fact that he has many friends in Lawrence, that he is an old University student, and that his lecture is given for the benefit of the Athletic Association, will add to the crowd which will go to hear him. His very interesting lecture on Alaskan Indians delivered under the auspices of Science Club a couple of years or so ago, gave him a reputation as a ready and interesting talker, which will bring out all who heard him upon that occasion.
Mr. Funston will soon start out upon a lecture tour through the state. We prophesy for him a very successful trip. Those who do not hear him will miss a treat.
The Cricket on the Hearth.
Read the Capital for legislative news.
The excellent dramatization of this charming story of Dickens' will be given again, by request, on the stage of Unity Church tomorrow evening. Those who saw the play when it was given before, say it was very well rendered. The actors have had considerable previous experience, and they are so well adapted to their roles that the performance was free from obtrusive amateurishness. Those who won especial mention in the daily press were M. A Barber as Caleb Plummer, Eva Brown, as Blind Bertha, Marthilde Henrichs, and Frank Menet, who makes his "Old Tackleton" "as disagreeable as Dickins intends it should be."
The proceeds of the entertainment will go toward paying for installing the pipe organ soon to be placed in Unity Church.

The Adelphic will meet as usual this evening. A very interesting program has been prepared and all interested are cordially invited to attend.

K. U. Pin.
The Pin Committee is working quietly but steadily toward getting the design, adopted by the students, executed in the best manner possible and at the most reasonable price. It is intended to have the pin made in two grades in order that all the students may be suited in price. It takes considerable time to get estimates from a large number of houses, but the matter is being hurried as much as possible.
As stated in our last issue, the vote was not as decisive as could have been wished; but the design chosen, though only a little ahead of the "field" was far ahead of any one other design. The choice seems to give general satisfaction. Among so many good designs, however, it was hard to choose.

LAWRENCE WORLD, LAWRENCE, KANSAS.
VOL. III.
JANUARY 18, 1895.
NO.17.
DURING the holidays it was announced that the Commercial Club of Lawrence will entertain the editors of the newspapers of Kansas, after their meeting in Topeka next week: and that the committee selected to arrange the details of the matter consists of Mayor Simmons, Mr. J. D. Bowersock, and Chancellor Snow. The visitors are to be shown all of the many interesting features of the city and locality, not the least of which is the University.
Although very little has been said about this coming event, it is of the greatest importance to the school. It will thoroughly acquaint the most influential and broad-minded class of men in the state with the head of the common-school system of the state, the University. What Kansas University has suffered from, perhaps more than from any other one thing, is the lack of information concerning it, among the people of the state. A very large number know nothing at all of this school, and many have formed wholly untrue opinions concerning it, based often upon slanderous and untrue reports put in circulation by the ignorance or envy of persons representing rival schools.
After the approaching visit of the editors there will be, in almost every community in the state, an intelligent and influential person who knows the truth concerning the University, its work, its faculty and students, and its needs.
We are confident that only the truth need be known to make every editor who visits Lawrence a staunch friend of the University: to set him about the work of spreading in his community correct ideas concerning this school: and to show him the urgent necessity for increased appropriations.
The action of the legislature now in session will determine the future of the University, for the next two years at least. The growing appreciation, by the people of the state, of the advantages for higher education; the spread of information concerning this institution; and the large amount of practical work done by its various departments for the agricultural and educational advancement of Kansas; have doubtless had a great influence in making the present legislature very friendly to the University. But what is most difficult to prove to the

THE STUDENTS JOURNAL
legislators is the extent of our needs. Many have been acquainted with the University in years past and find it difficult to believe that the needs of the school are so great and urgent. True, the report of the Chancellor gives the figures showing the increase in the number of students and relates the facts concerning the crowded condition existing in many departments; but a report, though good as a source from which to obtain material for argument, does not inspire strongly to action. What is required is a personal appeal, to make the facts seem more tangible and of individual interest to each member of the legislature. The University has many warm and energetic friends in the legislative halls, but they cannot do everything. How then is the personal element to be brought to bear upon those whom they do not reach? By the students, directly. Every student is in touch, more or less closely with the representative or senator from his district. Let everyone write to his representative at Topeka, telling him briefly and clearly the needs of the school and urging him to do all in his power for the University. In this way every member of the legislature will be reached through his own constituency, the school will be enabled to keep abreast of the educational needs of the community, and every student will have the satisfaction of feeling that he has done something toward keeping the institution among the leading universities of America, and toward repaying the great debt of gratitude he owes to dear old K. S. U. Let every student act upon this suggestion at once.
THE election of the staff of this paper for the spring term has done more than any amount of argument could do to answer the objection advanced by some of the fraternity students, that they would not be treated fairly if they should accept the opportunity offered by the constitution of the STUDENTS JOURNAL to everyone connected with the University to become a stockholder in the company. Mr. Hackney, the editor-in-chief elect, is a member of a fraternity, but in choosing him to fill this important position that fact was, as far as possible, ignored and the place was given him because of his eminent fitness for discharging the duties of the office. This action of the company shows conclusively that, if a fraternity student becomes a stockholder of the STUDENTS JOURNAL in a fair spirit, intending to stand upon his merits, without reference to fraternity ties. he will receive preferment when it is his due. This fact invalidates the sole remaining reason for the refusal of fraternity men to support a paper founded upon the American principle of justice and equality before the law and shows them that the non-fraternity students have not been insincere in their professions of willingness to lay aside all of this unfortunate factional spirit and join hands for the advancement of our common interests, the welfare of all the students and of the University.
THE prospects for the organization of an excellent base ball team to represent Kansas University upon the diamond are unusually encouraging this year. Many old and tried players are now in school and among the new students there are said to be many experienced men. In a year when everything is so favorable to winning a leading place for the University in the great national game, every effort should be made to realize that end. If the number of candidates warrants it, the rink will probably be secured for practice; if not, the gymnasium will be used. If you are a player hand in your name as a candidate for a place on the team, and try to bring out all whom you consider promising material. Get to work at once and be in good shape when the season opens.
IN his message to the legislature the Governor says, speaking of the University: "It is bad policy and worse economy to withhold from it any needed aid." In the recent report of the Board of Regents and Officers of the University it is conclusively shown that this institution needs a great deal Therefore, if the legislature does not make generous appropriations it will be guilty of "bad policy and worse economy." But it will not be so unwise. There are too many broadminded and patriotic men in our legislative halls to permit the crippling of any such institution as the University.
ELSEWHERE in this issue we publish that part of Governor Morrill's message which applies especially to the University. It shows that, in the new executive head of the state, this institution has a warm and

cutspoken supporter, whose influence will be exerted toward placing it in the very first rank of American universities. Governor Morrill is proud of the past and confidently hopeful for the future of Kansas University. So are we all: so must be every loyal inhabitant of the Sunflewer State.
In another part of this issue will be found an important announcement concerning the joint debate. The arrangements for the preliminary debate are there published, with the names of the debaters. The men who are to take part should exert every effort to develop themselves in order to defend ably the honor of Kansas University and, by winning fame for the institution, to reflect credit upon themselves. All students should endeavor, in every way possible to assist and encourage the debaters.
GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE
Governor Morrill's position in regard to the University is clearly shown in the following extract from his message to the legislature. "The superior institutions of learning are receiving an attention that was never before bestowed upon them in the history of the country, and there is a spirit of emulation awakening in most of the states to place the state university upon a high plane. Our universities has always been the pride of Kansas, and it should be the purpose of our state to make it a great university in the widest sense of the term, equal to any in the United States. The University has already accomplished a wonderful work. It has an able and an enthusiastic faculty, and its business matters have been managed with signal ability. It is the pride of every Kansan who appreciates its great worth, and it is bad policy and worse economy to withhold from it any needed aid."
Glee and Banjo Club.
The club returned to Lawrence last Sunday after a trip of a little more than three weeks through Kansas and Oklahoma. Everywhere the boys have been well received, their entertainments have given satisfaction and the boys have been very hospitably cared for. Financially, as well as musically and socially, the trip has been a very successful one. Tonight the club gives a concert in the Opera House which should be well attended by the students and town-people. The club still has several dates for towns near Lawrence.

Pennsylvania Letter.
Vacation has come and gone and the unfortunates who live in Australia, Central America. and—Kansas have had the pleasure of spending the holidays in Philadelphia or New York. We have, of course, been doing the town. Philadelphia, as everyone knows, is a town rich in historical associations. One interested may visit the old church on second street. Christ church, and be shown the pew occupied by George Washington and Lafayette, while Memorial Hall and the other Centennial buildings at Fairmount Park are a never failing source of interest.
Carpenters Hall, too, is a place worth seeing. It was in this building that the series of deliberations began which resulted on the 4th of July.1776.in declaring the American Colonies "free and independent." The chairs occupied by the officers of the first congress of the colonies still stand upon the platform and those in which Washington and his compeers sat are around the speaker's desk. Carpenters Hall is still the meeting place of the celebrated "Carpenters Company" which has enjoyed an uninterrupted existence since 1724. 'The membership fee is $150.00.' It is hardly necessary to say that none of us Kansans belong.
But old "Independence Hall" is perhaps of more interest. A tablet on the outside informs one that in this building on April 6, 1789. General Washington was chosen the first president of the United States. It was here that Washington, Adams and Thomas Jefferson were inaugurated and took up their official duties. Independence Chamber was the scene of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the desk upon which it was signed as well as the secretary's chair and the chairs of most of the signers may still be seen. Many interesting relics of Colonial and Revolutionary days are to be found in the museum. Among other things are letters by Napoleon Bonaparte, Benjamin Franklin and other important personages, a proclamation to the people of Virginia signed by Patrick Henry, the ink stand used in signing the Declaration of Independence, a cast of Washington's face taken after death, the epaulettes worn by Lafayette. Wm Penn's sword and chair—but such things as these must be seen to be appreciated.

THE STUDENTS JOURNAL.
New Years day has been celebrated from time immemorial with great festivities in Philadelphia. The "mummer's" parade is the principle attraction. The various New Year's clubs of the city parade the streets until seven in the evening. The best costumed organizations are presented with prizes and some of the clubs spend small fortunes in trying to get one. By half past eleven on New Year's eve the streets around Independence Hall were crowded for blocks with people blowing tin horns and "Making Rome howl" generally. They were waiting to hear the old Liberty Bell strike out at twelve o'clock the number of years of independence of the United States of America. We saw the celebration with a New Years party according to Philadelphian style.
If New Yorkers are to be believed Philadelphia is a dreadfully slow place and there is some truth in their statements too. The devastating "trolley" car has proved an endless cause of trouble to city management and the whole system was roundly denounced some time ago from the pulpit of one of the fashionable uptown churches as too dangerous for practical use. It is a little too fast for the staid old Quaker City.
The City Hall like the Kansas State House, at Topeka is "not quite completed," but Wm Penn-thirty feet tall in bronze and weighing sixty tons-keeps watch over the city from the main tower at the dizzy height of five-hundred and forty-seven feet. It is rumored that he actually turned around on the day of the Harvard game and looked towards west Philadelphia with a marked smile of approval. I. V. M.

Logan, the only other man nominated for a business manager made a good race, falling only four votes behind Mr. Maxwell. J. P. Cracraft and C. C.

The names of W. C. Dick and E. T. Hackney were placed in nomination for the office of editor-in-chief. The vote gave the position to Mr. Hackney, by a decided majority, though Mr. Dick received a very creditable number of votes. For the office of local editor R. L. Stewart was chosen without

Fred. Funston's lecture on Alaska, given for the benefit of the Athletic Association, fulfilled the expectations of his friends. It was excellent. ) However, the weather was very unfavorable and the attendance of students was remarkably small.
Unity Club's presentation of the "Cricket on the Hearth" last Saturday evening was very good, and notwithstanding the coldness of the evening, the attendance was large and netted a neot sum to go toward defraying the expense of putting in the pipe organ.
Albers and Page, who took the civil service examination for fourth assistant examiner in the Patent Office, in October, passed with creditable grades. This places them in the line of promotion for that office. This examination is generally regarded as a very difficult one, and the success of these two students of the School of Engineering is an honor to the boys and to the school.

THE STUDENTS JOURNAL.
Athletic Election.
The University Athletic Board met Friday for the annual election of officers. H. I. Maxwell was chosen president: J. B. Cheadle, vice president: R. R. Mitchell, secretary: Hugh Means, manager of base ball; James Owen, manager of track athletics. The board adjourned without having elected the foot ball manager. For this office the votes were divided between Fred. Bowersock, Prof. Hopkins and Jack Morgan.
K. U. Pin.
Owing to the rush of work in the establishments of the manufacturing jewelers at the time the pin design was adopted, and to various other circumstances; the jewelers have been very slow in submitting their prices. Letters are now coming from them, but not all have been heard from yet. A considerable number of the leading firms of the country were written to, and every effort is being made to secure the most reasonable prices.
Mrs. Jenness Miller.
All the physical culture girls are rejoicing over Mrs. Jenness Miller's coming next week Friday She is to lecture specially to University students, although anyone may go to the lectures. In the talk upon dress, she appears upon the platform in different costumes. Some of the costumes shown are most costly and elegant for occasions of leisure, such as carriage dress, reception and full evening dress; others are more simple, but, still beautiful, such as home dresses for dinner, afternoon receipts, etc., while for more practical uses she shows a tailor made walking-dress, rainy day dress, school girls' dress, and correct housewife's dress. Mrs. Miller does not offer women a uniform: she seeks to teach every woman the physiological needs of her body and how to adapt dress to those requirements.
Gentlemen may attend the evening lecture but Mrs. Miller prefers to talk to women and girls only upon artistic care of the body which lecture is given at 4 in the afternoon.
Students tickets (to all students) are fifty cents, admitting to both lectures.
Economic Seminary
The attendance at the meeting of the Seminary last Monday evening was unusually small. Those who were not present, however, missed a very enjoyable program.
The paper on Topolobampo, by J. H. Engle was very thorough and thoughtful in its treatment of this important community. The reports given were also very satisfactory. At the next meeting, next Monday at half past seven, Professor Blackmar will give an account of his trip east, taken during the holidays. During his trip he attended meetings of the American Economic Association and of the American Historical Association and also visited some important co-operative establishments. B. B. McCall will review "The Human Drift," a book containing a very elaborately constructive theory of socialism. If time permits other reports will be given.
Foot Ball Schedule.
The Western Inter-Collegiate Foot Ball Association met at Omaha Saturday afternoon, and adopted some amendments and a schedule for 1895. The most important amendment was that no student taking less than ten hours a week be allowed to play in a championship game. The following is the schedule:
November 2. — Missouri - Nebraska, at Omaha and Iowa-Kansas at Lawrence Kansas.
November 16. Kansas-Nebraska at Lincoln and Missouri-Iowa at Iowa City.
November 28. Thanksgiving Day Iowa-Nebraska at Omaha and Missouri-Kansas at Kansas City.
Officers elected are: W. Larrabee, president: R. K. Moody, secretary: J. D. Lawson vice president: O.E.Teft, treasurer.

With this issue the present staff of the STUDENTS JOURNAL completes the task which, in compliance with the wish of the stockholders of the company, it undertook at the beginning of the University year. in September. In performing this task of managing the STUDENTS JOURNAL the staff has not expected to suit all persons interested in the paper; it would be impossible to do that. It has, however, endeavored to take, in every case, that course which at the time seemed conducive to the good of Kansas University and the students. In obtaining reports of occurrences at the University the staff has made an especial effort to get the exact facts and publish them free from any partizan bias. If a show of factional feeling has at any time been made, the provocation of unfair treatment should be considered before judgment is rendered. In this connection the words of an alumnus may be quoted: "The STUDENTS JOURNAL is fast acquiring the name—if it had it not long ago—of the only reliable K. U. paper." In short, the staff has sought to advocate the right, oppose the wrong, and make the
STUDENTS JOURNAL as reliable, and interesting a paper as the time and money at its disposal permitted. In the new staff which begins its work with the next issue, the STUDENTS JOURNAL has a management of ability, and integrity. The retiring staff bespeaks for the incoming one as hearty and faithful support from the stockholders as it has received.
In some of the neighboring states arrangements have been made to have the legislatures visit the state universities. This is an excellent plan and might well be pursued in Kansas. It would give the legislature direct personal knowledge of the condition, work, and needs of this school. Of course it would not take the place of official reports of the condition of the University, but it would supplement such reports. Nothing is so convincing as personal and—if possible-optical proofs of the needs of an institution. These are furnished in abundance to any visitor who makes a careful inspection of the University with that end in view.

THE STUDENTS JOURNAL.
A LETTER was sent out some time since by the president of the State Oratorical Association, asking that the local associations take action in regard to some plan whereby several of the smaller colleges in the state may be admitted to the benefits of the State Association, without increasing the number of contestants in the state contest. If some satisfactory plan for doing this can be settled upon, it should be done. The only good reason for denying the benefits of participation in the state contest to some of the applicants for admission is, that the length of the program of the state contest should not be increased. Several plans have been proposed. One is; that the colleges in the Association be divided into pairs, the two colleges of each pair hold a contest, and the winner go to the state contest. A better one is; that the state be divided into four districts in such a way as to place an equal number or the contesting colleges in each district, and the winner of each district contest be sent to the state meeting. We have still a different plan to suggest. Let the colleges of the state be divided into two or three classes, according to the grade of work done. Then let the oratorical representatives of the few colleges in the highest class meet the district representatives of the lower class or classes chosen by some such plan as the second one proposed above—in the state contest. It is to be hoped that some plan will be adopted which will treat all colleges in a just and equitable manner and yet reduce the length of the program of the state contest. Every local association should send its delegates to the state meeting with instructions favoring such a change.
THE election of J. A. Simpson as manager of the foot ball team next fall is a guarantee that the affairs of the team will be ably and carefully managed. The election was a surprise, as Mr. Simpson was not a candidate for the position, but was elected as a compromise candidate when four ballots had shown that no one of the candidates could be elected. However the Athletic Board could not have done better.
On next Saturday evening K. U. will select her orator for the state contest. This will be one of the hardest fought contests in years and the winner will be sure to take a very high rank at the state contest. The orators of most of the colleges have already been chosen and we feel that K. U. notwithstanding her unfavorable position on the program will do herself proud.
THE UNIVERSITY'S NEED.
Again the University comes before the Legislature with an appeal for increased financial support: and seldom, if ever, during the existence of the school, has the need been more urgent than it now is. During the past few years Kansas University has attained that high rank among American educational institutions toward which it has always been striving. The appreciation of this fact is shown by the rapidly increasing number of students: an increase as shown by the Chancellor's report, of seventy-five per cent in four years. The young men and women of Kansas are rapidly learning that they need not go to the Atlantic seaboard to attend an institution of higher learning, but that they can stay within the state and thus save expense and time.
In order to maintain its high rank among educational institutions, Kansas University must be progressive, for its sister universities are progressive. Many of the universities of neighboring states already have a larger fixed income, a larger faculty, more buildings or better facilities for research. But so far our faculty has succeeded in keeping this school in the first rank by unusually hard work. This extra work has been prompted by great loyalty to the state and enthusiasm for the school, but it cannot continue indefinitely. If the Legislature does not show its appreciation of the effort that has been made, by providing for a division and lightening of the work in some departments and a better recompense in others, the University will retrograde to a position not at all in keeping with the position and character of the state of Kansas.
The rank won by the State University should be, and is, a matter of pride to every intelligent Kansan, and the fact that Nebraska, Missonri, Minnesota and others have surpassed Kansas in some ways in the support given their universities is not a very pleasant fact for a patriotic Kansan to contemplate. If these states continue, as there is every reason to suppose they will, to give such ample encouragement to their systems of higher education, then Kansas must either do likewise or submit to the humiliation of seeing its sons and daughters spend their time and money in other states. In this way many Kansas youths would be permanently withdrawn from the state and

their educated abilities finally used to build up other commonwealths.
There used to be a question in the public mind as to whether a school, of the rank of the University, paid. The liberal support now given such institutions by nearly every state where they exist proves that the question is settled, with a decided affirmative. In our own state the practical worth of the University has been prominently shown in agriculture and in the general educational system. University graduates are now teaching a large number of the most satisfactory schools in the state. But these are only a part of the benefits of this school. Every person who faithfully devotes any considerable time to study here, goes out a wiser, stronger, abler, more moral and trustworthy man, and a more unselfish and truly patriotic citizen.
Economic Seminary.
The meeting of the Seminary last Monday was an unusually interesting one. Professor Blackmar gave an interesting talk on the annual meeting of the American Historical Society at Washington, and of the American Economic Association at New York, held during the holidays. During his trip the professor visited Johns Hopkins University, where he found many changes had taken place since he studied there. He also paid some attention to the social conditions in the crowded portions of New York; to the administration of charity in Cincinnati; and to the co-operative industry at Ivory dale, concerning which he will address the Historical Seminary at some future time. Professor Blackmar was also present at the organization of the Political Science Association of the Central States, in Chicago and was chosen treasurer of that society. Altogether it was a very busy trip. Next B.B. McCall reviewed "The Human Drift" by King C. Gillette, explaining the elaborate plans of the author for establishing a socialistic form of society. The Seminary was much impressed by Mr. Gillette's ingenuity, but found many objectionable features in his chimerical scheme. At the next meeting of the Seminary, next Monday at 7:30 p.m., the election of officers for the coming term will be held, and an instructive program given.
STUDY WINDOW
JOE'S S VEETHEART.
Joe, you going to take me to the picnic?
"No. I ain't. Liza."
"Why Joe!"
"What?"
"Well, don't call me "Liza" like that to begin with. What difference does it make Joe, if you don't like cousin Nelly. She don't mean half the sarcastic things she says to you anyway, and she said, when she told me about her picnic, she really hoped you'd come."
"I aint going though. I can't bear her." and Joe closed his mouth and stiffened himself with the air of one who knows his own mind.
Liza sighed. She knew that when Joe shut his mouth in that way no powers of persuasion could move him. Joe had so many prejudices, and it was so hard to reason him out of them! Indeed Liza never tried to reason with him, she coaxed him. But, notwithstanding the fact that Joe's mother said she would wind him around her little finger, Liza knew she could never make him do anything he had really set himself against.
Joe's nnyielding nature was a cause of open amusement to his father, and one of secret pride to his mother. He inherited it from her and had been strengthened in it by the lack of harmony which his father's easygoing ways had brought to their home. Joe's mother, hoping to encourage what she considered his strength of character, had been very chary of all outward demonstrations of her affection. Joe's father had never been able to win the boy's heart because of certain, goodnatured inclination to laugh at him for being so "sot." And Joe had fallen in love with Liza.
"Joe's sweetheart"—that was Liza. She had dubbed herself that, for Joe was not one to use endearing names. But Liza's nature was as free as a bird's.
"Joe," she would say,putting both her hands in his,and looking at him with a half mischievous, half coaxing expression.
"Joe, call me sweetheart."
"Humph."
"Joe, don't you love me?"
"Humph"

THE STUDENTS JOURNAL.
Joe grunted. It was his usual way of answering this question. But it seemed to satisfy Liza.
Still, there were times when Joe's taciturnity disturbed her, especially when it indicated that he was going to go against her wishes. This happened occasionally for Liza had all the whims of an impulsive, untrained nature; and Joe had no taste for "making a fool of himself."
To go to the picnic was one of the things in which Joe felt he would be compromising himself. He thoroughly disliked Liza's cousin Nelly; had always maintained toward her an attitude of hostility. It would be inconsistent now to accept her invitation.
"Well, I can go with Charlie Crandall then." Liza said. "We're going down the canal and Charlie has been wanting to take me out in his new boat for sometime."
Liza threw out this suggestion mischievously but when Joe said decidedly.
"You won't go, Liza." Liza suddenly felt that she would.
"And, then, you know," she added, "We shall have to go through the lock, because it will scratch the boat so to pull it around on the gravel. And the boat is so light that when the water rushes into the lock it tosses it every way. Charlie isn't very careful, anyway."
Joe was sternly silent He knew by the look in Liza's eyes that she would go. He knew too that it was very dangerous to go through the lock in a small boat. He knew that Charlie Crandall was a rather reckless fellow, and that Liza was impulsive enough to run any risk. He could prevent all trouble by going to the picnic himself.
But on the other hand, there was that disagreeable, sarcastic Nelly. If he went, she would say inimical things, and make him very uncomfortable. He had been consistent in his indifference to all her advances toward friendship, as toward all people whom he did not like. Must he grow weak now?
Liza went to the picnic. She said, "Goodbye Joe," in a gay voice, and with tears under her eyelids which nobody saw. She didn't want to go. It would be no fun for her without Joe. What made Joe think he could control her actions? It was that that sent her off.
When they came to the lock, Charlie Crandall offered to let Liza out while he
went through the lock alone. But he made the suggestion in such a way that Liza scorned to get out.
"All right then, go ahead," he cried out to the man who was tending to the gates.
They were soon shut in the lock, and the water was rushing in rapidly. It was exhilarating! The boat was tossed about by the waves. They had to scream to make themselves heard above the roar of the water.
The boat was light and plunged from one wall of the lock to the other. But striking the corner, where two of the walls met, it stuck fast.
"It will shake loose in a minute."
But it didn't, and the water continued to pour into the lock. The roar of the waves seemed to grow louder and louder. They called, but no one answered. Four bare walls around there, and water beneath! Water, which was now pouring into the boat, and would perhaps soon be over their heads.
"Help! Help! Oh, he must have gone into the house. You must push it loose!"
With a mighty effort the boat was freed, but with such an impetus that it was overturned and its occupants dashed headlong into the water.
Late that night a light was burning in the little lock house on the canal bank. Within, the young girl was just returning to consciousness, after a severe struggle with death. At her bedside knelt Joe.
The heavy eyelids opened slowly. The voice said feebly.
"Joe."
And, then all the closely pent affections of an undemonstrative nature was set free in one word.
K U. Emblem.
"Sweetheart."
During the past week the committee has received prices on executing the design from several more manufacturing jewelers. According to figures now received it will probably be possible to furnish the solid gold, fourteen karat pin for $1.25 or perhaps a little less and another good grade pin at about 75 cents. The carefully executed and colored drawings of the design that have been received with the bids show that the pin will be a very pretty one. A little more time will be given, to the jewelers who have signified their intention to submit prices.

A New Chemistry Building.
One of the most pressing needs of the University at the present time is a new building for the use of the Chemical Department, and some relief for the Pharmacy Department. The building now in use was built in 1883. A small appropriation was made by the state at that time, and to this was added some funds in the hands of the Regents. About $12,000 was thus spent, and other small sums have since been appropriated by the Regents for furnishing. For several years the work in Pharmacy and Preparatory Medicine was carried on under the supervision of the Department of Chemistry, but about 1885, a School of Pharmacy was established, and the work of the two departments has been carried on in the present quarters for ten years. For a year or two there was room enough for both, but as the University grew provision had to be made for the increase. One, and finally two, rooms of the basement, intended at first only as a cellar, were excavated and finished off into laboratories. A gallery, to be used as a weighing room, was added on the main floor, and recently rooms in the main building have been used for storage of apparatus and chemicals.
This, in brief, is the history of the present Chemistry building. In the Chemical Department last year 360 students received instruction, and in the Pharmacy School there were largely increased numbers. At present the largest laboratory in the building will accommodate only 48 students, working at the same time The only lecture room and recitation room is arranged to seat 76, but last year there were crowded into it 125. The Sophomores will remember how they were obliged to occupy chairs both before and behind the lecturer's desk.
In some important branches of the Science of Chemistry, it has been found necessary to abandon all Laboratory Practice on account of lack of room and facilities for doing the work. Again the fact that there is only one recitation room for the numerous classes in Pharmacy and Chemistry, has proved a source of great annoyance. To manage the matter in any way some classes have been obliged to recite in a basement room, which is used as a laboratory, and others were obliged to recite in other buildings, at a distance from the apparatus and specimens, so important for illustration.
Two years ago an appropriation was asked for, to enlarge the present Chemistry Building, so that it would be large enough for both departments, and plans were made for this purpose: but it is interesting to notice that if that addition had been erected, it would not be large enough to-day. Now it is deemed advisable to ask for an appropriation for an entirely new Chemical Laboratory, and to remode the present Chemistry Building in such a way that it will accommodate the Pharmacy Department. The latter plan provides for an addition upon the west end of the present building and a number of modifications of the interior, so as to give greater Laboratory room, and better lecture and store rooms
It has been suggested that the New Chemical Laboratory be located southwest of Snow Mall, at a point where it will be readily accessible to students from the various buildings. This becomes necessary as the Chemical Department is expected to give instruction to students in the Arts Department, as well as to those in Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Pharmacy.
Most of the large Universities of the country are provided with Chemicalai Laboratories of approved construction For instance, the one recently erected at Cornell cost $80.000; at Wisconsin, $60.00; at Nebraska, $30.000; at Iowa, $42.000; at Minnesota, $60.000; at Illinois, $50.000. These are all State institutions. The endowed Universities are not behind in their facilities, for the University of Pennsylvania has just built a Chemical Laboratory that cost $110.000; the Lehigh University has built at a cost of $116.000; and Yale, at $75.0 0
From these figures it will be seen that Kansas has been too modest in allowing her students to ge along in some way in a small and inconvenient building that was built for $12.000, while other universities with which she competes offer so much better facilities in this line of work. In planning for the future it should be borne in mind that any building erected which will just accommodate a department to-day, is likely to be too small in a few years. It is wise economy then to look ahead and provide for the growth.

Music Hall Echoes.
In connection with the Art Department it is interesting to learn that Prof. Clark is having great success in introducing his system of drawing. The public schools of the city have been placed at his disposal for the introduction of his system. The teachers have had thorough instruction in the method and it is found that it makes the study of drawing much more interesting to the pupils. One of the chief points in the favor of Prof. Clark's system is that it is more methodical and systematic than anything yet used This puts Prof. Clark's work on a broader basis than might have first been supposed, as this system is the result of individual research and personal experience
Y. M. C. A Notes.
Rev. Mr. Rogers' Bible class will meet on Saturday evenings instead of Thursdays as heretofore.

Language Conference.
At the meeting of the Conference last Friday Miss Helen Sutliff gave an interesting account of the nature and contents of some of the books recently added to the University library; among them, the number recently acquired by the gift of Charles Francis Adams. Of this number are several bearing on their fly leaf the book plate of John Quincy Adams. E.E.Rush followed with a thoughtful paper on the excusability of Othello which aroused some little discussion. Professor Wilcox read an amusing little poem taken from the Nation and
Professor Carruth read a selection from the first reader now in use in the Chicago schools, with the remarks of an irate parent concerning it. It begins; "How dot a the little crocodile improve his shining tail" Professor Carruth spoke of the selection as a parody upon "Mary's Lamb." The reporter mentioned this amusing mistake to a member of the audience, who laughed and answered; "I thought it sounded more like little drops of water, little grains of sand."
At its next meeting the Conference expects to present accounts of the life and works of the prominent writers that died in '94.
The Editors' Visit.
On Wednesday morning about one hundred and twenty-five of the members of the Kansas Editorial Association came to Lawrence from their meeting at Topeka. While here the editors were entertained by the Commercial Club and by the University
A large part of the time of most of the visitors was spent in making themselves acquainted with the buildings on Mount Oread and with th work done there. Every possible courtesy was shown the visitors, and all parts of the University were opened for their inspection. If every one of the visitors has not now a fair knowledge of the University, it is probably his own fault Entertainments were provided by the musical department and by Mrs. Clark's Sophomore physical culture class
At four o'clock the visitors, with the members of the faculty and a number of Lawrence people, sat down to a simple banquet in Spooner Library Hall. Only a short time was spent around the tables, but during that time excellent short speeches were delivered by Hon. J. K. Hudson of the Capital, Rev. J. D. Botkin of the Industrial Advocate, Eldorado. W. G. Brown of the Kingman Journal, Professor Cowgan of Topeka, and S. G. Mead of the McPherson Republican. John MacDonald, of the Western School Journal, was called upon, but time prevented him from speaking.
The visitors seemed well pleased with the University. and proud of it, as all Kansans should be. As this paper prophesied last week, the visit of the editors was an excellent thing for the University.

Consequently when the professor found that the lamp smoked and tried to turn it down, he could not do so. With the assistance of Professor Preyer, whom he called in, he tried to blow it out, but couldn't. It is said, though, that it was very funny to see them try. The lamp was finally smothered out.
