NO.20 THE Kansas College Press Association will hold its annual meeting and banquet in Topeka, February 22. '95. This is an association of college editors fashioned after the State Editorial Association and we feel that ere long it will be of great benefit to us in college work The STUDENTS JOURNAL representative discusses "the relation of the college paper to college politics." We are sorry that we were unable to be present at the last seminary meeting and therefore did not hear Prof. Blackmar's diagnosis of college politics and politicians, but from what we can hear his remarks were interesting and to the point. We think the University council should pass some definite rule prohibiting the participation in politics, athletic and Glee club trips by those who have not made a certain average in their studies. Let such a rule be passed and then rigidly enforced and K U. will be relieved of the blighting influence of the Professional in these lines. Something we are sadly in need of. NEARLY all of the college papers are now giving much space to anti-spring poetry. The STUDENTS JOURNAL hesitates about inflicting any thing of the sort on its readers, but if you have something "of beauty and a joy forever" along this line send it in and make your name immortal. We are sorry the students did not turn out more generally to hear Dr. Curry of Boston, Monday afternoon. His address on "Oratory and Public Speaking" was something every student should have heard. Dr. Curry showed that everyone be he Doctor, Merchant, Lawyer or Minister, has a supreme need for the Art of speaking. Coming to us as one who built up the oratorical and debating ability of old Harvard after it had fallen into seeming decay. He plead for public speaking clubs of whatever kind; for more discussion of the earnest, zealous and intelligent sort in the classroom. Had the entire student body heard him we feel sure that several new literary or debating societies would have graced K. U. 2 THE STUDENTS JOURNAL. We sincerely regret the attack made upon the Chancellor by several of the papers of the state and especially do we condemn and denounce the action of the student or students who posted one of these attacks on the bulletin board. The Sigma Nu Delta devotes considerable space to tributes, both from K. U. and Ohio State University, to the memory of the late Loren B. Sears, who was so beloved and honored by K.U.His charming personality will ever live in the minds of those who knew him. The senior class is down to work and promises to be one of the most enthusiastic classes that has ever graduated from K. U. They will ere long enter the social whirl with a class reception. The.class numbers 76 and it will furnish some original and pleasant entertainment to the students on class day. By the terms of the new University appropriation bill as it comes from the ways and means committee of the senate, the University is given $100,000 appropriation: a graduation fee of five dollars is imposed in all departments with extras for breakage, chemicals, etc. pecial fees are allowed in the school of fine Arts. This bill certainly ought to satisfy the students We hope more students have arranged their work this term so as to enter the Adelphic. It is not enough that you belong to your department Seminary. You should also do work of a general literary character We sincerely hope that at least one new literary society may be organized at once that we may have some healthy rivalry and consequently more interest. The orators and title of orations for state contest are as follows: E. T. Hackney, State University, "America's Sodoms and Gomorrahs." J L. Taylor, Baker, "The Hebrew in Civilization." Forrest Woodsides, State Normal J. A. Sankey, College Emporia. "Death of Holmes." C. E. Flannigan, Ottawa, "Relation of Invention to Progress." D. D Hoogland, Winfield, "The Citadel of Liberty." Roy Osborn, Salina. The college papers of the land are, this week filled to overflowing with tirades against the semi-annual examinations. Many of the editors were evidently in pretty close quarters. There seems however to be a strong and growing feeling among both students and professors everywhere that examinations should be abolished and credits made up from the daily averages. The January number of the K. U Quarterly, Prof. W. H Carruth managing editor, has come to hand. It contains several strong articles setting for h original investigations by the faculty. Mr. W N Logan '95 has a very strong paper explaining his investigation concerning "the temperature Sense" altogether this is a very creditable number of the magazine. THERE is no member of the legislature heard from yet who questions the needs of the University, but the remark has been made that the people of Kansas are poor and times are hard. This is true, but when this reply is made to the students, the legislator should remember he is speaking to the poor people themselves. These students have poor parents; they pay their own expenses: they work hard through the summers, many even remaining out one year to go the next. Thirty-seven percent work on farms, others come from stores and offices, and they all expect to repay the state for benefits derived from a free school system. It is not a school for rich people. Of the parents 89 percent work daily in fields and shops and stores. When their sons, who are struggling to get an education in face of hard times, ask for room in which to study mechanical arts, liberal arts, and the professions it should be a satisfactory answer to the question. Can we afford it? Economic Seminary. Through some mistake, the report of the meeting of the Seminary held last week was not published. At that meeting the following officers were elected: President, W.C.Dick; Vice-president, S.S.Brown: Secretary, M.S.Alden. On Monday night the Seminary listened to a short but interesting program, consisting of a report by Mr.E.T.Hackney. At the next meeting there will be reports by Messrs. Budd and Alden. THE STUDENTS JOURNAL. 3 COLLEGE WORLD. The numbers of volumnes in the leading college libraries of the United States are as follows; Harvard, 430,000; Chicago, 250,000; Yale,180,000; Columbia,155,000; Cornell,150,-000; Pennsylvania.100,000; Princeton,91,000: Lehigh,90,000; Dartsmouth,73,000; Amherst, 61,000; John Hopkins, 60,000. Some of the brightest sayings which come to this table are from our high school exchanges. The Rocky Mountain Collegian suggest that college papers in general, publish a little fuller information in regard to college proper, that it seems unnecessary to the students of the college, but it is the only means that other colleges have of finding out what is being done in different institutions. While Moses was no college man, And never played foot ball, In "rushes" he was said to be The first one of them all.—Ex. Secretary Moody of the State University spent some hours with Secretary Graham on Friday in comparing methods and "talking shop."—Industrialist. Samson the strong man whom we read of in the good book, was the first man to advertise. He took two solid columns to demonstrate his strength, when several thousand people tumbled to his scheme, and he brought down the whole house. - Ex. At his watch he looks intently And a smile lights up his face. And I know as well as can be. There's a woman in the case. The School Record The University of Michigan boasts of 2,700 students this year. The C. A. C. of Ft. Collins Colorado, held its thirteenth annual Reunion on Dec. 21st. Harvard defeated Yale in the recent debating contest. Harvard affirmed that "attempts of employers to deal with individual workmen are prejudicial to the best interests of both." The presidents of the Universities of Chicago, Northwestern, Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota and Michigan, in convention assembled, adopted a resolution that each college appoint a committee from its faculty on college athletics, which committee shall draw up and enforce rules relating to intercollegiate games. The Lawyer Died. It was the lawyer's turn to speak It was the lawyer's turn to spee He said as from the bench he sprang: "Your honor, this man stole a horse And therefore mustang. -University Courier. The Senior class of the University of Pennsylvania will wear caps and gowns after January 1st.—Ex. The students of O. W U. are publishing a college song book. Vol. 1., No. 1. of The Students Salute K. S. N.. is found among our exchanges this week. May success crown the efforts of K. S. N's first weekly paper. The Baker students claim to be: "First in war, first in peace. First in the hands of Baldwin police." Alexander. There was a chap who kept a store. And though there might be grand He sold his good nor ask no more. And his name was Alexander. He mixed his goods with cunning hand. He was a skillful brander: And since his sugar half was sand They called him Alex-Sander. He had his dear one, she came Then lovingly he scanned her: He asked her would she change her name? Then a ring did Alex-hand-her. "Oh, yes," she said with smiling lip. "If I can be commander!" And so they framed a partnership And called it Alex-and-her. -Siftings. The Cooper Courier is agitating the question of forming a Central Kansas Athletic Association. Oh for a tie that binds, E'en though it costs a dollar. If it but lacks ambition To ciimb above my collar.—Ex John Hopkins has no college papers. Items of news are circulated by means of distributing bulletins. President Elliot of Harvard has gone to Europe on an extended tour. 4 THE STUDENTS JOURNAL. Yale presents to its students 119 elective courses. Harvard offers 219 courses in liberal arts and sciences. The average student could complete the whole number of courses in 44 years. Fin de Seicle. As Providence willed By her bicycle killed; "Twas thus her epitaph ran. In bloomer and cap, Though sad the mishap. She went to her death like a man."—Ex. There seems to be a tendency on the part of those who have charge of the interests of the University now before the legislature to make compromises on the needs of the school, when as a matter of fact there is no margin on which to compromise. While they may be driven to do this as a matter of policy it indicates that the friends of the school are not doing their full duty in securing relief from the crowded condition which now exists. The feeling has prevailed among the students that the regents were altogether too modest in thier requests, and now it is exasperating to hear rumors from Topeka that some of these requests for things, which are essential to a student as light and air, are being withheld until they secure other things that absolutely cannot be refused by the legislature if the state is to keep up a University. When it comes to compromising on standing room for the students the state may as well stop the school, sell the buildings and go out of the business. If Kansas will not even furnish room for the students completing their education she should withdraw from the ranks of progressive American states which maintain public schools There is nothing on which concessions can be made. Students have taken up temporary quarters which barely afford standing room in some classes, with the expectations that they would have suitable facilities in the future and now come rumors of compromises made before the Ways and Means committee. It means the state will offer them room outside the building on the bare ground next year with the increased attendance. At the beginning of another term one thousand Kansans, a number equal to the entire population of many respectable sized Kansas towns, will be crowded into four buildings for recitations. A chemistry building, a ladies' dormitory, engineering shops and a museum building are imperative necessities not to speak of a fine arts building, a gymnasium or an observatory. The students should place their case before their legislators either by letter or in person. Dr. S. S. Curry of Boston, gave a very interesting and instructive lecture to the students on last Monday afternoon. His theme was "Oratory." He based his remarks on that sentence of Bacon's which as Dr. Curry says gives the three aims of education: "Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man." He said there was too much stress placed on the first aim, the acquisition of facts, and too little placed upon the last two, the giving out of ideas The striving for the first aim gives a man an education of knowledge, but the striving for the other aims gives him an education of power. At the Seminary held January 30th, at Music hall, Prof. Penny made the following announcements which show that the music school has a world of its own which is filled with good things: Remenyi to-night. Excursion to Topeka February 6, for Art students. Recital at Mrs Snow's February 2nd. Prof. Curry's lectures on Art, Monday and Wednesday evening. He then said "for the first time in five years I turn the Seminary over to some one else. Miss Bund will conduct it." The interesting events of the afternoon were two papers. 1. Listening to music by Miss Leverton. 2. Take heart and intelligence with you. Current events were then discussed. A question box was in charge of Prof. Penny. In response to roll call each one responded with a quotation from a musical composer among which are the following: "Art demands perfection. Perfect playing in practice makes the Artist."-Landon "Music is never stationary; successive forms and styles are only like so many resting places, like tents pitched and taken down again on the road to the ideal." "A musician's real work only begins when he has reached perfection." Mendelssohn. "Every day that passes without learning something is a day lost."—Beethoven. "Melody is the very life blood of music." Marz. --- THE STUDENTS JOURNAL. 5 THE LAWRENCE BUSINESS COLLEGE. LAWRENCE NATIONAL BANK BUILDING. LAWRENCE, KANSAS. Established in 1869. Oldest in the state.

St. Professor Clark's class in drawing meets every Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Professor Dyche is having a number of views made from his last summer's trip to Greenland. A number of the English students have entered Prof. Cowan's afternoon class for heavy athletics. There are a couple of young ladies living on Tennesse St., who are good at climbing in and out a window. The class in histology is so large as to require half the microscopes in Snow Hall to accommodate them. The Electrical Seminary met Thursday evening. essrs. Kelsey. Kitzmiller and Landis presented papers. The e'ephant jaws and leg bones received some time ago from Clark county have been mounted and placed in the museum. Al. Frost can make a variety of funny noises with his mouth and be in company with Ingalls, make a small orchestra. Dr. W. A. Hall of Chillicothe Ohio, made a short visit to his nephew Justice O. Hall, and to Prof. Dunlap during last week. The Science club has about seventy members now. It meet once a month, usually on the first or second Friday in Chemistry building. The Junior Electrical Engineers completed Dynamo Electrical Machinery, this week, and have taken up Thermo-Dynamics under Mr. Rice. Hale has caught it too. He is patiently nursing an eyebrow on his upper lip. He has a special preparation that he applies to the same. "Who is that gentleman," asked an innocent Freshman in the hall the other day, as he pointed to Prof. Blake's name on the bulletin board. A bill appropriating $100,000 for the current expenses of the University was reported favorably by the Ways and Means committee and passed the Senate. Lost Strayed or Stolen - A large number of horses from members of the M-class under P-M. A liberal reward will be paid if the same are returned before June 1. Mr. Barber's course in fungology is becoming quite popular. Students working in that line have opportunity to get employment in the chinch-bug field during the summer. Crew made a large number of blue prints for Prof. Marvin during the latter part of last term They consisted of plans for some new building to be erected for the Pierson Milling Company. We feel that the present agitation over oratoricals will bring about a permanent good to the association, as well as to every student in the University who desires to develope himself in oratory. 6 THE STUDENTS JOURNAL. Quizs have become the new terms work. Swolen ears and noses are quite the fashion at present. A few K. U students give a social hop this Friday evening. The Junior Pharmacy class had their pictures taken this week. H. G. Landis of the Engineering school was called home on the account of the death of his sister. The coasting party on Louisiana street last Saturday evening made music for the west Lawrence people. The library received this week a gift, consisting of many valuable books from Mr. Chas. S. Gleed of Topeka. The science club have the annual "It" this week. The members of the club are much envied on this yearly occasion The members of the new University Council are Professors Wilcox, Bailey, Canfield, Hopkins, Carruth, and the Deans of the Respective school. A photograph of the Freshman Chemistry class, while in the recitation room, was made this week. In this class there are one hundred and fifty students. The new students enrolled at music school this term are: Misses Kennerd, A. Wiltville, Lizzie Delo, S. Johnson, Stella Williams and Mr. Daniel Fair. Great Bend Tribune: The Topeka Capital is the best family paper on earth. At the close of Lewelling.s message it advertises a good remedy for "that tired feeling." Miss Schoeler an apt student in music school and one who has a large circle of friends in Lawrence has gone to her home in Wamego. She does not expect to return until next fall. The Remenyi company favored the students of the school of music on the morning after the evening concert with a few choice selections. This free concert was very much appreciated. A bill has been introduced into the legislature for the appropriation of $5,000 for the maintenance of the Experimental Station, which has done under the directions of F. H. Snow such efficient work in checking the ravages of the chinch bug. Prof. Penny has changed the plan of conducting the Seminary The plan now adopted is to allow the students to conduct it This has excited new interest in the work, by offering individual benefits. Miss Bundy had the Seminary in charge this week At the annual election of the Oratorical Association the following officers were chosen: President, L. N Flint; Secretary Miss Nellie Criss; Vice-President, E. Alder; Second delegate, Adna G. Clark; and the meeting also instructed their delegates to support Chas. H. Lease for State Vicepresident. "They broke up." She sighfully gathered a bushel of letters, dropped tears on some faded rose leaves, added a volume of Trilby, a copy of "O, Promise Me," another of "If You Love Me Darling," a pearl ring, and sent them back with the brief but expressive words: "Please do likewise." He sent her two letters, a cigar holder and a silver hat marker. At the next meeting of the faculty a resolution is to be considered, which provides that no grades shall be made known to the student during the time of his connection with the University. At graduation a student's standing in his class shall be determined by his grades for the past four years work. Dr. S. S. Curry's lectures were well worth the attention and patronage of every student in the University. On Monday night he talked on "Art in the Past," he gave the painters of the various schools up to the present year. On Tuesday evening was on the "Art of To-day." There is in Art something that attracts everybody, and Dr. Curry brought this "something" out in a very pleasing manner Should be Amended. "Remember, boys," said the teacher, that in the bright lexicon of youth there's no such work as fail." After a few moments a boy raised his hand "Well, what is it, acrated," asked the teacher. "I was merely going to suggest," replied the youngster, that if such is the case, it would be advisable to write to the publishers of that lexicon and call their attention to the omission "—Ex. THE STUDENTS JOURNAL. 7 The recital given at Chancellor Snow's last Saturday was very much appreciated and enjoyed by the large number of guests present. After the excellent program was rendered, refreshments served and conversation closed the enjoyable occasion. The following program gained much credit for Music school: Sherwood, "Minuet," Miss Parry; Henselt. "If I Were a Bird." Miss Wilson; Lennox. "Dream Memories," Miss Chandler; Scharwenka, "Tanz Impromptu." Miss Lingard; Singelie "Fantaisie on Opera, L'Enchantress," Miss Jean Bowersock: Baga.

The following resolutions were adopted by the Law school of the State University,by a vote of 26 to 4 at a meeting held Tuesday morning. WHEREAS, It has been reported through the columns of the Lopeka Capital and Lawrence Gazette, that the Law students of the University were circulating a petition denouncing Eli Cann because of his work in regard to the "University fee bill" before the committee of the Ways and Means of the state senate; WHEREAS, The Law school, not having any thing to do with the sending of Mr. Cann to Topeka, had no reasons to criticise his actions; WHEREAS, Such statements tend to reflect discredit upon one of our most highly esteemed fellow students, therefore be it RESOLVED. That we denounce such reports as unqualifiedly false and without foundation, and further. RESOLVED. That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to each of the above named papers for publication. J. R. Hitchcock Committee. T. J. MADDEN, Members of the legislature you cannot afford to allow this institution, which has won such hearty commendations from all over this land, to be crippled for want of proper support. Put up new buildings and advance Kansas to the front rank in educational advantages. Give her own sons and daughters the same chance enjoyed by those of other states. The Museum Building. A knowledge of the conditions that prevail in the departments of natural science in the University will leave no doubt in the mind of any friend of liberal education as to the pressing needs of these schools. In the chemistry and pharmacy schools it has become a matter of getting space for recitations and laboratories; the overcrowded condition now actually preventing the students from doing effective work. One hundred and forty students are crowded into rooms intended for sixty. The situation is scarcely worse than that in Snow Hall This building at present furnishes classroom, laboratories and museums for fine departments which could easily fill two separate buildings and then allow no room for future growth. Zoology, Paleontology, Botany, Entymology and Geology each have their laboratories and museums with collections, including hundreds of thousands of specimens, which in other universities would be given buildings for their proper display and ample room for conveniently studying them. The department of Zoology should have a fire-proof structure to preserve the two collections, the finest in the world, of insects diptera and of North America mammals The fossil collections are not equaled by any other outside of those in Boston, New York city and Philadelphia, and they surpass these in some respects. Geology and botany could be left in Snow Hall. A fact in regard to this building should be known and its importance felt. It is that this structure is nothing less than a fire-trap. It now contains collections that could not be replaced for many hundred thousand dollars. A disaster could be brought upon the state and the scientific world by an accident in the electric wires, by gas or by lightning that would leave the blame with no one unless it be the legislature. A building for Zooiology should not be put back for any other. Two gentlemen who boarded a car in front of the Beta Chapter house and attempted to stand off the conductor were met by the exclamation "What's the matter with you fellows up there you never have any money." 1. Introduction to Cryptocurrency: A Brief Overview Cryptocurrency is a digital form of money that uses cryptographic techniques to ensure secure transactions and facilitate peer-to-peer exchanges. It allows users to transact freely without the need for a central authority or intermediary. 2. Types of Cryptosystems: - **Blockchain**: A distributed ledger system where transactions are recorded in a collaged, immutable chain of blocks. - **Rewriteable Token (RTL)**: A token that can be changed by anyone with the right permissions. - **Decentralized Finance (DEX)**: A platform that enables users to exchange cryptocurrencies directly without the need for intermediaries. 3. Benefits of Cryptocurrency: - **Transparency**: All transactions are publicly accessible, allowing for monitoring and auditing. - **Security**: Use of advanced cryptographic techniques makes it difficult for fraudulent activities to occur. - **Innovation**: Cryptocurrencies offer new ways to exchange and store value. 4. Challenges: - **Scalability**: Managing large amounts of cryptocurrency can be complex due to the high number of transactions. - **Regulatory Issues**: New regulations are being introduced to regulate cryptocurrencies, such as the EU's Crypto Regulation Directive. 5. Future Trends: - **Ecosystem Growth**: As the cryptocurrency ecosystem expands, more users will adopt it. - **Technological Advancements**: Upgrading blockchain technology to improve security and efficiency. - **Government Regulations**: The regulatory framework surrounding cryptocurrencies will evolve to ensure compliance and regulation. 6. Conclusion: - Cryptocurrency offers a promising alternative to traditional fiat currency, providing increased security, transparency, and innovation. - However, it also faces challenges such as scalability, regulation, and technological advancements. Continued research and development are necessary to address these issues and make cryptocurrencies a viable option for the future. ADVERTISEMENTS. Griffin, the coal man! Go to—Howes for a shave.

NO.21 By a remarkable coincident the college orators this year are nearly all editors-in-chief of college papers. The papers to be represented at Topeka by collge editors are College Life, Emporia; Beacon, Baldwin: Mid-Continent, Washburn College; Students Journal, K U. THE Science Club annual "It." held last Friday night, was a success in every particular. This is one of the most novel, as well as the most enjoyable of University gatherings. Nothing is more necessary to student life than to have occasional times when the students can get together forget all their cares and have a real jolly time. This is the purpose of the "It," and it certainly accomplishes its purpose admirably, as every student and professor who has ever attended one will undoubtedly declare. There are, of course, some students who have too many jolly times and not enough cares, but we do not refer to them, and they are not the kind that belong to the Science Club. Another good feature about the "It" is that it allows professors and students to get together and "all be boys;" this, we fee assured in saying the Science professors enjoy as much as the students. How much better it would be for the University if there were more such gatherings as this and less of the very select parties. It has been reported that there is, in the University an organization whose members are bound by oath not to support any one who is not a member of the "gang," for a position in any of the University organizations. It is further reported that the members of this gang have already taken an active part in college politics. If such an organization does exist we may expect to find its members among that class of individuals known as college politicians "hose fellows," as Mr. Greer expressed it in the recent oratorical election, "who hang around the halls like vultures around the carrion." The proper thing for the students to do, then, is to put an end to the political aspirations of these well-known politicians by giving L 2 THE STUDENTS JOURNAL. them free passport up salt river every time they come up for office. PROFESSOR PENNY has made arrangements to give a college song rehersal on Thursday of each week, at five o'clock, in University chapel. All students are invited to attend. We hope the students will take advantage of this opportunity to become familiar with the latest college songs of the day. We are sure that there is no better way to extend college spirit than by learning college songs in this way. Let us have a full attendance of students on next Thursday. It seems to us that it would be well if the management of the University could arrange a catalogue of the colleges and academies from which grades would be accepted. There seems to be no regularity about it at present. While we believe that the majority of the members of the faculty are very fair in their treatment of students having grades from other institutions, yet there are some who are in our opinion entirely too arbitrary in the matter of accepting grades. A cataloguing of the institutions from which grades are to be accepted would save much trouble and no little dissatisfaction. SINCE one of the students who holds an office in two o' the student associations has flunked out would it not be well for the faculty to take such measures as will prevent a like occurrence in the future? We understand that there is an unwritten law in the University to the effect that none but students whose grades show a fair average shall be chosen as a representative of the students. If such a law exists we oelieve it would meet the approval of the majority of the students to have it enforced. The time is drawing near that every loyal student, who feels that he can afford to spend the time and money, should throw aside his books and go to Topeka and help cheer our representative in the State Oratorical Contest. We should bear in mind that nothing is more helpful to a contestant than to have plenty of enthusiasm shown in his favor. We will stand a much better chance of winning the contest if we have a large and enthusiastic body of students present The Oratorical election held January 25, brought up the much talked of question of the lack of any societies in the University which tend to develop students in public speaking. Several societies have been organized with this intention, but most of them have proven failures. The whole reason that they have proven failures is probably somewhat difficult to explain, but some things are quite evident. One reason it seems to us is the nature of the programs which are given. In such societies the programs should be made as interesting as possible in order to draw attendance; they should also be of a nature which will if possible tend to provoke general discussion. Another fault of some of the societies, and perhaps, the principal cause of their failure has been to exclude all but certain students; there will not be too many students attend and take part, if every one is admitted Rivalry is one of the best incentives toward holding a body together. If two rival societies could be organized it would undoubtedly be a help towards holding the societies together and making them success. This would of course not permit all students to join one. Two societies might be organized, in which literary, political and scientific questions be discussed, which would not only accustom students to appear before the public but be very instructive as well. We trust that our legislators have fully convinced themselves of the needs of the University by making a thorough examination in all departments. We trust also that we will receive liberal appropriations not only for current expenses, but also for new buildings and apparatus for the over crowded departments. Every member of the legislature should consider it his duty to make the University, as the recognized head of the public school system of Kansas, a credit to the state. By all means let us have an appropriation for a medical school. Enough money is paid by the medical students of Kansas to colleges outside of the state to run a good medical school. Then if for no other reason than to keep this money in the state, let us have a medical school established in connection with the University. THE STUDENTS JOURNAL. 3 @COLLEGE WORLD. A Query. "What is college spirit?"— She blushing, drew near,- "I know that students like it. Now is it wine or beer?" Illinois has followed Missouri's plan and introduced a bill to prohibit the wearing of high hats at the theatre. One of its citizens "regards with disgust the spectacle of their state solons going into frenzied flights of eloquence and prolonged disputatation over a bill regarding the dimensions of 'female headgear.'" About the college may now be seen many with their eyes earthward as if in deep thought; and from the society halls comes tones of thunder. It is the budding and blossoming of our prize orators.—Knox Student The average weights of the members of the principal college foot ball teams are as follows: Yale, 172 pounds; Harvard, $ 1 7 3 \frac{1}{2} $ Princeton, 172; Pennsylvania, 179.—Pennsylvanian.

Hale spent Sunday at his home in Topeka. We wonder why Senior Engineering are objectionable to some of the Senior Art students. One of the Seniors proposed in class meeting the other day that members of the class give a circus as their class day exercise. Quite true the requisite number of clowns would not be lacking. Jim Kelsey has volunteered his services as ring master. Messrs Squire, Plumb, Wagner, Galbreath and Taylor attended the party, given by the Delmorico boarding club, at Merchants hall on Friday evening. A very enjoyable time was had by those present. There has been a large attendance of Engineers at chapel during the week. Prof. Marvin has been conducting the services. That's right. Try and make a good impression on our Dean by coming to chapel if you can't do it in class. Mr. Emch has been teaching one of the Trigonometry classes this week. Albers and Morgan are constructing Revolution counters at the shop. Prof. Dunn blew out a Motor fuse on Monday. Some of the Seniors have not stopped running yet and only one or two have resume their daily work on the hill. An interesting letter from Prof. Blake was read at the Science club It, Friday evening. He reports excellent success with his Foghornophone and expects to achieve great results next year or the year after. He also stated that he would be back bye and bye. Miss Jennie Hosier entertained the following at cards, Friday evening. Misses May and Carina Cooke, Anna Edwards, and Messrs. Agnew, Hudson eckler and O'Bryon. Gowell's talk on Prof. Dyche's bird from the Arctic regions was the best thing on the program at the Science club banquet, Friday evening. He had a model of the Aquatacus the principal parts of which consisted of a nail keg, gunny sack, some feathers and a bamboo fan. The mouth and eyes were especially prominent features of the bird. Sam Usher visited the Gymnasium class Saturday and watched some of our athletes perform (?). Cheadle is a good artist. Morgan and Lahmer attended chapel this week. Page is taking scientific german with the Freshman. Land reports and explosions from, the vicinity of the Chemistry building are frequently heard. The Freshmen are experimenting with hydrogen. No deaths have been reported as yet. Hale has about completed his motor. He really expects it to be run when it is finished. Rock Chalk! Jay Hawk! K. U.! Word has been received that at the late oratorical contest at the stat university, the honors and chapionship were awarded to Ed Hackney, son of O. J. Hackney of this city. Mr. Hackney, Jr., has not yet completed his first year of school at Lawrence but he has always been recognized as a very intelligent and eloquent speaker. Since his advent to the state university, his ability as a writer has been fully proven by his election to the editorship of the college paper. He was persuaded to engage in the oratorical contest with the above result. Mr. Hackney is a young man, only twenty-three years of age, highly respected by his friends and associates here, and honored by his fellow-students of the university. We are glad to learn of his success not only because he is from Wellington but because of his known deserving character. Mr. Hackney will represent the state university in the coming state inter-collegiate oratorical contest at Topeka.—Daily Mail Economic Seminary. The program of the Seminary, on last Monday night, was highly interesting and instructive There were reports on magazines by M. S Alden, S. S. Brown, R. W. Cone and Professor Blackmar. The attendance was unusually large and it is hoped that the interest which has been manifested will continue. At the last meeting seven new members were received into the Seminary. On next Monday night there will be reports by C. R. Troxel, and others. THE STUDENTS JOURNAL. 5 THE LAWRENCE BUSINESS COLLEGE. LAWRENCE NATIONAL BANK BUILDING N V W LAWRENCE, KANSAS.

Maxwell is enjoying a short visit from his mother. Be sure and make arrangements to attend the state contest. Mr. Agnew took tea at the Ladies' Club Friday evening last. Prof. Greene has been in Topeka the greater part of the week. The staff is indebted to W. H. Clark for services rendered this week. The invigorating air of the gymnasium made the exercise doubly beneficial. Several students will attend the masquerade ball on next Wednesday evening. "Political History in Modern Europe" has been made a full term study this year. Messrs. Baroker, Warner and Haggard dined with the Y. M. C. A. boys Sunday. The Greek Symposium had for its subject this week the "Sculpture of the Parthenon." Alvin Long, class of '97, is interested in a private irrigation plant in western Kansas. Cold weather made it necessary to dismiss several classes on Wednesday and Thursday. Dr. Henson, one of the lecturers of the University course, will lecture on the 20th of this month. James V. May was called home from the University of Pennsylvania by the sudden death of his father. J. A Simpson has registered in the Law school. By a little extra work Jerry will recieve L. L. D. in 199. On the first Tuesday in March. Miss Georgia Brown will open a class in dancing at Fraternal Aid hall. Geo. King has secured some beautiful K. U. paper weights, which can be found in the basement of main building. Mr. Newman, clerk of the Ways and Means committee of the senate was a caller at the University last week. The young women of Y. W. C. A. will give a reception in honor of Miss Effle K. Price of Chicago, Saturday afternoon. President Elliott, of Harvard, said in his annual address that foot ball had degenerated so as to be a game unfit for colleges. Either Eli Cann has been coasting or he has been airing his theories to freely. This we judged from the appearance of his face. Wednesday afternoon Prof. Blackmar's class in money and banking organized an Economic Debating club. This is one step in the right direction. Last Thursday the Phi Psis entertained very pleasantly in Fraternal Aid Hall. The occasion was the anniversary of the Lawrence chapter of this fraternity. Next Saturday evening the Phi Delts will give their first party of the season, which promises to be as successful as their entertainments of former years. We fear that the locals of this publication will fail to interest the students if the assistant editors do not see that their departments are well represented in these columns. Prof. Penny will give an hour each Thursday af ernoon for drilling the students on college songs. Every student is invited to avail himself of this opportunity to become acquainted with the college songs which have so filled the student of the eastern universities with college spirit. 6 THE STUDENTS JOURNAL. Miss Eiffie K. Price International Secretary of the Young Women's Christian Association will spend Sunday with the young women of the University Association. Interest in the pronouncing contest is on the wain. Regular work so completely fills a student's time that he is unable to become enthusiastic over the much needed work. E. T. Hackney is in Wichita where he will remain several days. Mr. Hackney is preparing to carry off the honors at Topeka on the 22nd. Messrs. Allen and Logan will have charge of the editorial department until his return. The third lecture in the "Popular Bible Lecture" was given Wednesday, Feb. 18. The subject of this lecture was "Manuscripts, Tests, and Translation." Prof. Wilcox has made the three lectures on this subject very interesting and instructive. The Adelphic is becoming more popular each meeting. Last Friday evening there was an excellent program rendered. The following question was debated, "Whether the Principles and Politics of the A P. A. are Unamerican and Inexpedient." This society is developing orators for the coming debate with Nebraska University. The Freshman chemistry class devoted one of their recitation hours this week to the discussion of the sufferings of Western Kansas After the discussion, a purse was made up and sent to those in the west who are in the greatest need. This action on the part of the class of 198 is highly commendable, and should be followed by other organizations of the institution. The money spent by the students of the institutions in extravagance, would warm many huts in western Kansas. That tribe animosities will not bar the Indian from the foot ball field, is assured by the success, during the past season, of the foot ball team of the Indian Industrial school at Carlyle, Pa. In the supliment to the current number of the Red Man is an excellent photograph of a group of sixteen Indian youths, who make up the team of that school. Notwithstanding the fact that in this number, ten tribes are represented, there has not been a single instance of dissention among themselves. Miss Ettie K. Price will give an address in the M. E. church Sunday evening, Feb. 17, to which all are invited. Miss Price is a young woman of rare attainments and can not fail to interest her audience. Prof. Penny went to Kansas City last Friday evening to meet S Curry Ph.D. of Boston who lectured at Music school Monday and Wednesday evenings on art. "His lectures, as far as possible, bring the audience face to face with modern art. The aim is to stimulate the imagination and artistic nature, to study the spirit of art as well as the facts, to give a proper point of view for the right understanding, and appreciation of the complex art of our time. The lectures were well liked. The entertainments at Music school are always first class The Language Conference gave an unusually interesting program Friday afternoon. After short notices of lives and works of a number of distinguished literary men and women, who have died within the last year, the following program was carried out: "P. G. Hamilton," W. H. Carruth; "Durry and Taine," Miss Callov; "Walter Pater," C. G. Dunlap; "Christina Rosseti," Miss Oliver; "Robertson Smith," A. M Wilcox; "Darmsteter and Leconte de isle," A G. Canfield; "J. A. Fronde," Wilber Gardner; "Sir Chas. Newton," D. H. Robinson; "R. L. Stevenson," H. F. Jones. The class in Domestic Relations were recently required by Prof. Brownell to hand in the necessary papers in a proceeding for divorce, and later the papers were received in class and errors pointed out. This is excellent practice and should be made a part of the work, as far as possible, in all subjects. Lack of practical work is one of the principal defects of law schools; the graduate feels it when he attempts to draw up the papers in a case, still more so if his case is dismissed from court because of papers faultily drawn up. an examination of the current law reports will show that fully half of the decisions are on questions of form and procedure. This means that our lawyers are not well enough drilled on these points. Our schools must lay more stress on this subject for any carelessness in the instruction of our future lawyers will be dearly paid for by the people who employ them. THE STUDENTS JOURNAL. 7 Chemistry Building. It becomes more and more evident as the year progresses that one of the greatest needs of the University is a new Chemistry Building. There are more students in organic chemistry than usual and also in organic preparations. Those who work in the laboratory are obliged to work in the professor's office, or at tables where there are no conveniences for doing the work. It is true that they get along in some way, but they cannot do satisfactory work, because of lack of room. The class in Sanitary and Applied chemistry, on optional study for Juniors and Seniors is twice as large as last year. As for the Freshmen chemistry several new students have entered this class, so that there are now 150 crowded into a room seated for seventy-five. It is with difficulty that they can be accommodated in the laboratory, even by having three divisions of the class. The demand of our time is for skilled chemists, as well as for engineers, lawyers, and teachers. A number of the best Universities of the country have established courses in chemical engineering, which are parallel with the courses in civil and electrical engineering and such courses are received with favor by the leading educators in engineering schools. We need more room and then without doubt such a course could be established here Our department of Pharmacy also is sending out men every year who take the lead in the drug stores of the state, as men of more thorough education. The state board of Pharmacy and the State Pharmaceutical Association, both unite in asking the state to furnish better accommodations to its students. It is hoped that we shall soon see a new building on the hill for the use of these departments. Snow Hall Items Dr. Williston was in Topeka Friday in the interest of his department. Miss Manley, who has been teaching in the high-school at Beloit, is seriously ill and Miss Morgan has gone to take her place until her recovery. The Entomological department recently investigated the work of a colony of white ants which had taken possession of a house in Lawrence to the great alarm of the occupants. The entomological department has received from the Colorado Agricultural college a valuable collection diptera to be named This collection consists of between five hundred and six hundred species, many of which are entirely new. These will be described in the University Quarterly from time to time. The irrigation survey bill which passed the senate on Saturday provides for the appropriation of $10,000 to carry on the survey under the direction of a committee. Consisting of the Governor, the Chancellor president of the agricultural college, secretary of agriculture, and a fifth member who shall be a man well versed in practical irrigation All the geological and surveying work is to be done by the university under the supervision of the Chancellor. All the analysis of water is to be done by the agricultural college. This appropriation provides only for the first years work subject to the approval of the legislature and further action will depend upon its success. The Pharmaceutical society held its regular semi-monthly meeting last Friday afternoon. Owing to the absence of the President, Miss Fisher, Vice-president presided. The following officers for the ensuing term were elected: President, Miss Dora Fisher; Vice-president, E. F. Schofflin: Secretary, Clarence Carter; Treasurer, Herbert Fuller: Executive Committee, F. M. Sprague and Mr. Horton. Prof. Sayre then spoke upon some subjects which were of interest to chemists and apothicaries, one thing especially was mentioned regarding free alcohol for manufacturing purposes. A bill relative to which had passed congress. He spoke of the difficulties attending the execution of the provisions of the law The secretary of the treasurer had expressed his inability to meet the difficulties of putting the law into effect, namely to give the benefit to the manufacturer, for which the law provides, and at the same time to prevent the frauds and forgeries which are sure to arise in great numbers as soon as the doors are open to the possible chance of obtaining "free alcohol." 88 THE STUDENTS JOURNAL. Aunual "It." The Science Club's annual "It" was given Friday evening at the University, and it was pronounced the most successful banquet ever held by the club. There were seventy members present. The committee on arrangements were Messrs. Franklin, Eames, Boyce, Templin and Crew. The officers of the club are, president, A. V. Schroeder; vice-president, B. M Dickinson; treasurer, W. R. Crane. The banquet and toasts were followed by a shadow pantomime, a take-off on the members of the faculty. Prof. Haworth, toast master, introduced each speaker with a story and the responses were as follows: Prof. Murphy's Irrigation Scheme, Geo. D. Hale. A New Invention for the Production of Metric Music, Prof. Barber and F.E.Marcey. Origin of the Anthracite Coal of the Appalachian System, M. I. Kirk. Artificial Digestion, Prof. L. E. Sayre.

NO.22 ONE by one the larger institutions of learning are abolishing term examinations. Cornell is the last of our eastern colleges to do away with this primitive method of determining a student's standing In this issue we give the first enstallment of poetry. We are especially thankful to N.N.T. for this endeavor to revive poetic efforts in old K.U We certainly expect to receive much of interest along this line. Send in your poems THE Senior class has taken the initiative, and given the first class party of the collegiate year. It now devolves upon the other classes to do their duty and class spirit and social life in K.U.will be revived.In this connection it might be well to ask what has become of the class of '97? Last year this class gave the first social of the season. We hope that it is not courting the social oblivion which has been the fate of other classes. THE recent election in the Phi Beta Kappa calls to mind the fact that three out of four former editors-in-chief of this paper have been honored by election to this fraternity. This certainly proves that this company has sought to honor men who were good students as well as good editors. We are pleased to note the increased interest taken by the students in the Thursday afternoon music class organized for the purpose of singing college songs. We hope the attendance at these meetings will increase rapidly. Professor Penny is an excellent instructor and the value of the instruction which the student will receive at these meetings can not be estimated. THE Phi Beta Kappa fraternity is to be congratulated upon the result of its recent election in which seven members of the class of '95 were elected to membership in that society. All of the students chosen will be a credit to this collegiate organization. The seven students chosen are: Miss 2 THE STUDENTS JOURNAL. Kate Anderson, of Independence; Miss Edith Clark, of Lawrence; Miss Margaret Menet, of Lawrence; Miss Matilde Hendricks, of Humbolt; Miss Florence Parrot, of Lawrence; Mr. B M. Dickinson, of Everet; Mr. Ralph W. Cone, of Seneca. A REPRESENTATIVE of the JOURNAL was taken around at the Chemistry building yesterday and furnished with some additional information regarding the pressing needs of that important department of University work. The overcrowded condition of the laboratories and the limited lecture room facilities of this building, which houses the two departments of Chemistry and pharmacy have already been set forth in the columns of the JOURNAL. One lecture room, besides being wholly inadequate for the accommodation of the yearly Freshman class must also serve during the year for nine other classes in Chemistry. The pharmacy department has no lecture room facilities whatever; the instructors in this school being forced to carry on their lectures and recitation work in the laboratories. But this is not the worst. Although necessitating much extra work on the part of instructors in fitting up and dismounting apparatuses, and Seniors inconvenience in the arrangement of hours—still good work might be done even under such conditions. A much more serious state of affairs confronts the students in the laboratory. Elementary classes must be cut off with from one half to one quarter the time which should be spent at laboratory work, because of lack of desk room and necessary apparatus. In some important branches of Chemistry —to mention especially one, a class of forty in organic chemistry—no laboratory work whatever can be done under existing circumstances. The JOURNAL scarcely needs to remind its readers that results even partially satisfactory cannot be obtained unless the student is given opportunity to manipulate and observe for himself. It is a question among educators whether scientific courses without accompanying laboratory work are not worse than useless If the work in the important science of chemistry which together with its sister science physics forms the basis for the intelligent prosecution of all other natural sciences to hold its place with the other departments of the University it is imperative with the present legislature to provide means for the erection of a suitable building for carrying on instruction according to modern methods. Even at the risk of becoming tedious the JOURNAL submits the following figures to show some of the difficulties under which work is now carried on in this department. During the past year three hundred and fifty students in sixteen classes were enrolled in the department; from present indications the number for the present school year will considerably exceed four hundred. These students must do all the laboratory work required of them in two laboratories, capable of accommodating at one time fifty seven workers. During the first half year beginning chemistry, students in Quantitative analysis must be crowded together in one laboratory. As a consequence the work in all suffers and especially that of the beginner whose work is curtailed in favor of the more advanced workers. These beginners are cut off with three hours per week for ten weeks when they should have at least ten hours per week for twenty weeks. Fully as unsatisfactory state of affairs exists in the other laboratories in the building. The University of Chicago has a Chemical laboratory erected at a cost of $250,000, Pennsylvania has one which cost $125 000 The state Universities of Michigan, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska are all supplied with commodious laboratories built at costs from $40 000 to 100.000 dollars. Kansas should and can teach Chemistry as well as can any of her sister states. If the department is allowed to limit the number of students to fifty, a half dozen of whom are allowed to take advanced work good results can be attained with present facilities. If 400 students are to work with accommodations provided for fffty, the results of such instruction must be obvious F. B. Dains, instructor in Chemistry in '93-'94, writes from the Chicago University of his special work in Chemistry at that Institution. He and J. R. Rothrock of'94 have recently published in the "American Chemical Journal," two valuable articles which contribute largely to our knowledge of Organic Chemistry. THE STUDENTS JOURNAL. 3 @COLLEGE WORLD. A QUERY Ye listening rocks, ye sounding sea. Ye bellowing winds from o'er the lea! Oh! tell me, if ye can tell aught.

The attempt to break up the Senior social last Saturday night is another evidence of a much needed college reform. There is, of course, no doubt that the disturbers were prompted by a spirit of thoughtless practical joking rather than by any ill feeling toward the Seniors; but that does not make the matter right. It is equally as wrong for one class to disturb a gathering of another class as it would be for the members of one church to break up a social held by the members of another church. The practice is a relic of the middle ages, when it was found necessary to prohibit students from spending more time in carousing than they spent in studying, and as long as it is continued a proper social spirit can not be cultivated in colleges, however desirable this may be. Would it not be well for the students of K. U. to set the example of behaving as well toward each other in college as they do outside? The example might do much good. Our Student. Climbing the hill in the morning bright. Leaving the hill in the fading light. Going and coming in winter's cold. And yet when the buds of spring unfold. Such is student's life.

From early morning he had been harassed by quizzes, actual or prospective. But at five o'clock he had ended the last one and started for his room. As he slipped and staggered along in the deep snow, trying to see his way through the thick veil of falling flakes, he was thinking of his day's work. It has been very bad. He saw that he had not understood the questions aright, and felt sure that his answers would meet a like fate. Everything had gone wrong. Tired, dissatisfied, sick, he stumbled up the stairs to his cozy little room: but even the warm bright fire, the tastily arranged pictures and sketches on the wall and his easy chair standing invitingly before the hearth, failed to dispel his gloomy mood. He tried to read then, to smoke, but—oh, he could not. He could only think, think, brood, brood How he had hoped, and intended, and resolved to do good work! How he had let worthless things hinder! How he had put off, until a tomorrow that never came! Alas! At last he took up, from its place in the corner, his beloved banjo. It had never yet failed to give him solace in times of trouble: it would not fail him now. He lightly fingered the strings, awakening them to tuneful melody, but—Ah!—could they be the same? No longer did they bring rest and peace. Tonight their old familiar "plunkety, plunk" seemed the voices of plaguing demons hovering about him in the dusk, and tauntingly crying in his ears "flunkety! flunk! flunk! flunkety! flunk!! Jack enters the hardware store of Dutch John and the following conversation takes place. "Hullo, John! I want a pocket knife Have you any good ones?" "Yess, I got von whole stock of 'em efery von goot. I keeps nodings els but de besht." “Nun, dare ish goot von, und dare ish goot von, und dare—” "What is this one?" (pointing to one in the case) “Dat ish bery goot von; dat knife cosht me vie eferydings. He ish all gootstoff, und vell made.” (Tries to open it) “Py confounder! dat spring ish leetle steef. It ish goot von—Vade und Putcher; he made de besht. I sell more von dat knife den any oder knit." "Oh, that isn't worth much." ' ,Yess, et ish de bestes. It cosht vie eferydings, und I sell him cheap. I sell dat knife for sexty cent." "Sixty cents?" "Dats cheap, et cosht more. I sell him pelow cosht alretty." "I'll give you fifty." "Donnervetter! can't do dot. I sell him pelow cosht alretty, und ven I pay de freight, und make a lifing der ish not mooch left" The State Historical Society. It is to be hoped that the Legislature will provide ample room in the State House for the State Historical Society. This is a matter in which every part of the state should be interested, for the historical matter of the whole state is being saved by the society. The library of the society is the most remarkable one in the country, in that it preserves the regular issues of all the newspapers published in Kansas, and has done so for nearly a score of years. At present the library contains 10,689 volumes of Kansas newspapers, full of priceless local history. The present quarters of the Society are incommodious and inadequate. The Legislature should provide rooms for its immediate use, and direct that in the completed Capitol building there shall be prepared ample and suitable room for its future growth. Economic Seminary. At the meeting of the Seminary Monday night, Mr. Cone reviewed the article in Journal of Economics on "Glascow and its Municipal Industries" In this article it was shown that the city of Glascow, England was operating its city railways and water works much better than they had been operated under private enterprise. Mr. W. S. Pope discussed "State Accidental Insurance," as it exists in Germany Here every workman must be insured under the supervision of the State The idea which has been carried out successfully, was original with Bismark Next Monday night there will be reports by Messrs Breese, Bishop, and Wright Read the Capital for the Oratorical contest.

Miss Florence Bond returned to her home in Salina last Saturday. Will Handcock was out of school last week on account of sickness. Miss Edith Davis, of Topeka spent Sunday in the city. The barbs gave a pleasant party in Journal hall Friday evening. We regret to say that Charles Lease is quite ill at his home in Wichita. H. H. Sickler and A. V. Schroder, have become pledged Phi Delta this week. Clark Kelly attended the Senior reception last Saturday evening and reports a lively time. The Phi Gam party was a great success. A number of guests from other cities were present. Miss Helen Bond of Salina has been spending a few days in the city as the guest of Miss Simpkins Is there a University student so devoid of patriotism that he does not rejoice at the approach of the natal day of the father of his country? Professors Baily, Sayre, Williston, and Chancellor Snow were in Topeka Monday evening looking after the interests of the Chemistry department. About 150 students in Chemistry experimented with hydregen last week and there was only one slight explosion. This is the best record that any class has yet made. One of the pleasantest informal parties of the year was given by the Phi Delta Saturday evening in Journal hall. Many of the Phi Delts of former years were present, Mr. Fred MacKennon and Prof. E. C. Franklin are gathering material for an Alumni Catalogue. As the Alumni numbers about seven hundred, the undertaking is a large one. Where was Bowker on Saturday evening. Is the class of '95 setting a good example when their president does not arrive on the scene of action until eleven o'clock? The bill that was introduced into the Senate to separate the Kansas Academy of Science from the State Board of Agriculture, has not been favorably received by the committee to whom it was referred. On Wednesday at 4 p. m. Mr. E. C. Franklin will talk before the Chemical and Mineralogical Seminary on "Argon," (the lazy gas) that Lord Rayleigh and Prof. Ramsey have recently discovered in the atmosphere. Last Saturday afternoon at the home of Mrs Wilcox, the Y. W. C. A. girls gave a large reception in honor of Miss Effie Price the International Secretary of the association. Sunday evening at the first Methodist church Miss Price delivered an earnest and interesting address on "The Work of the Y. W.C.A." By her good work and charing personality, she succeeded in winning the hearts of all who heard her. If the K.U. association succeeds in sending to the ever open field, one girl so lovely as Miss Price it may feel amply rewarded for years of effort. 6 THE STUDENTS JOURNAL. Engineering Notes. H. C. Zuttermeister one of our last year students, was in the city over Sunday renewing old acquaintances. He is at present engaged in business in Kansas City Mo Kelly is sighing for spring Poor boy, no wonder the winter wind makes him suffer. Perhaps Divine Providence will come to the rescue and temper the wind etc How about that Senior circus? Gardner would make a good tumbler for the same. Ask Alden and Bowker where they spent Saturday night. Walker sold thirty-two foot ball pictures. It seems strange that some students are always late in coming to class. This is a source of much annoyance to both instructor and students, as the recitation is invariably interrupted. Just try to get even with the world, and not always be ten minutes behind in every thing. The shop whistle is again in use. During the cold weather it was frozen up. Crane has invested in an instrument by which the length of curves can be determined. Landis will make an efficiency test of the motor built by Penfield last term. Notice.

STANTON OLINGER H.I.MAXWELL. Last week an association for the purpose of economic debate was organized Constitution and by laws were adopted and the following officers elected: President, Pope: Vice-president, Mr. Ewart; Secretary, Miss Effie Loader. These officers with the Prof. of political economy constitute the committee on program. The first meeting will be held on Friday March 8, at 5 o'clock in Prof. Blackmar's room. The question to be discussed is, "Resolved that free coinage of silver should be adopted in U. S. ratio 16 to 1." The association is open to all members of the political economy classes and promises to be of great benefit in this line of work. All persons truly interested are welcome at the meetings. Saturday morning's Capital will contain a full account of the Oratorical contest --- THE STUDENTS JOURNAL. 7 Prof. Farril is wearing the Phi Psi colors Bob Stewart is reported to be the best jockey on the hill. Prof. Bailey has a class in domestic Chemistry which meets three times a week. Prof. Haworth attended an irrigation convention at Stockton last Friday. Prof. Sayre made a trip to Topeka Wednesday afternoon returning Thursday morning. Lewis C. Elson, the famous lecturer of New England conservatory will lecture here in March Prof. Dyche has just received an unusually large specimen of wild cat from Reading, Kansas, Miss Bertha Phoelar, who is studying voice with Prof. Penny, will spend next week in Kansas City. Prof. Franklin gave a very interesting talk on the supposed new element "Orgon" Wednesday evening. Misses Frout, Kennard, Madden and Whitaker of music school will spend Friday and Saturday of this week in Topeka. The Assay class, this term, consists of five members, whose ages aggregate above 40 years. Prof. Franklin is instructor. Mr. Cady is doing some original research work in chemistry this term. New discoveries are likely to be made at any time. The Seniors at Music school are preparing their graduating recitals. It is expected that there will be six graduates in piano course There will be a recital at Music hall Wednesday, Feb. 27, at 4 o'clock. These recitals occur every two weeks and are very instructive. W. A. Snow has been appointed consulting dipterologist of the Illinois state laboratory of natural history, and of the state entomologist's office. At the last rehearsal of the Oratorio society the following rules were adopted. 2 Any one absent three consecutive rehearsals shall be dropped. 1. The doors will be locked at five minutes past eight 3. The one hundred best voices of this chorus will go to enter the chorus contest. The meeting of the Pharmaceutical Society was postponed this week on account of Friday being a legal holiday. A very interesting program is prepared for next week. Mr. Sheffer has a paper containing the results of some original investigation on the habitat of the hickory-twig girdler, in the next issue of Insect Life, the government entomological organ. About seventy five students showed their appreciation of Prof. Penny's effort to practice college songs by attending the first rehearsal It is hoped and expected that this number will increase rapidly. The reports of Prof. Haworth's work on the stratographical survey, and Dr. Williston's report on the building stone of the state, which have been delayed on account of lack of funds, will now go to press at once. Mr. Templin has been analysing some drinking water collected from some of the wells. In one instance 30 parts, solid matter, in 100,000 parts of water, was found present which is almost twice the normal amount. Silica and Chlorim were both present. The banquet of the Alpha Omega society at Baker university the other night was so swell that a man who would cut the baked white fish and potatoes with a steel knife would have been forcibly ejected from the room. Baker can put on as much "lug" as Lawrence when she tries, if her young men do pin back their Prince Alberts for "swallow tails" now and then—K C. Star.
