These stu dies were formerly taught by Dr. Lip pincott.

A lunch counter is runuiug now in the basement of tha University. This is vnry acceptable to the students who have, recitations both in the forenoon and afternoon. Santa Claus must have taken Davis moustache and given it to some more de serving little boy. Davis looks like a shorn lamb now, and tho girls won't speak to him. All registered students of the depart ment of Science Literature and the Arts will be permitted to vote for the President, Vice-President and Secretary of the local oratorical association.

Prof. Canfleld's Junior class in American History has finished taking lectures in Finance of tho Revolution and Con federation and now are studying tne Diplomacy of the same period. We had quite a pleasant chat with Prof. Dyche that other day on the sub ject of this recent trip. The Professor has many interesting things to tell and can tell them in an interesting way.

University circles are stirred up over a point of etiquette. At a faculty party, if the unmarried lady prcfessors are to be ranked at the supper table according to age, is the mnrjutcr ipilarnm to decide as to the ages? Journal Prof. Dyche has made a very profitable trip. He has brought with him dry skins and bones weighing 1800 lb. These are mostly large animals, and range in size all the way from a fox to an elk.

Twelve FkOcky Mountain goats are among the prizes. Prof. Snow is making up an extra largo exchange lot of Lepidoptera (but terflies and moths) to send to a New Jersey naturalist, who recently sent the University a botanical collection containing 800 specimens new to the Herbarium. Journal. The most of the orations for the Oratorical contest were written during the holidays.

This is unfortunate because, more time for preparation should be taken. But how can it lie ntherwi'sn when we are crowded with regular work theses and forensics piled on top. During the vacation the Electrical En gineering workshop received a $12.00 Brainard milling machine from Boston which is now set up. These are machines found only in the best machine shops. Ihere are probably not niore than two or three in the State of Kansas.

There are plenty of colleges and State Universities through the country which have more students than K. S. but we notice that few of the western col leges have courses equal in rank to our own, or which do as high a grade of work. Old room No. 11, rests in peace this year.

Old students remember with a smile the stormy scenes that took place that historic room last year, and won der how they could have cared to quarrel over such trifles and yet we bet our last dollar that they would do it riht over again if the chance turned up. The University library has received a arge consignment of books sent to the state printer for binding. are got ten up in fine shape. It is considered in act the best bound set of books the Uni- vjrsity has yet received from the state printer, lor its size our library is won derfully efficient, being entirely a work ing library, and containing no useless or trivial matter. i Association is compiling nu alumni catalogue.

This will be of great Interest to the alumni and friends of the University. Prof. Ulackmar on "Cooperation." The following are extracts from a lecture on "Co-operation," delivered by Prof. Blackmar of the Statu at Riverside. Friday cv.

ning, Jan. 3rd' "It is with pleasure that I speak to you this evening on the subject of the Farmers Alliance. I recollect, having spent years of my childhood on a Pennsylvania farm. I never regret having spent those days there; they were days of sunshine, of peace, and of plenty; I desire to recall that life for I consider it one of the first occupations among all of the professions mat wo have in the industrial societv the age. I am also glad to say that I am a member of the State University of one of one of the greatest farminir Btatea at this union.

It is a great pleasure to meet with the entire industrial society as a great co-operative body in the truo sense of the word. Human industry is bound together by the stronir ties of n. operation. Co-operation in thn mn sense of the word means a bod of nnnnin' bound together to work for each other's interest and for the same end: a nnt labor. This is the philosophy of all co operations.

Labor is paid by its own comfort. capital furnishes comforts in irreat varie ties. Labor is essential to improvement Labor with capital is beneficial to ttm whole country. Because of vhe improper adjustment of affairs and disagreement in the distribution of wealth causes hani times among the laboring class, especially the farmers; when that riisatrreemrat is regulated we will have wealth and con tentment among the laboring class. No more strikes; no more rebelling.

One class of co-operation is called 'coercive or forced co operation. For instance, every man who is born in tbia United States takes a position in the industrial army subject to that coercive-cooperation. Another class of co-operation is called 'distributive'. For example a body of farmers are wanting or other farming impeiments, they send! directly to the manufacturer who ships the machine and notifies each man that his machine will arrive on a certain day, and each man is present and unloads his; machine from the car to his wagon, thus avoiding the handling of each manliW. by the so-called, middle-men, who iri turn have to have their commission.

Farmers, you are work ins against a great wrong. Why not light it? Why not rush upon it in a body and to come out victorious, as the farmers of Iowa and Indiana did against tho wire-trust? Fightamonoply with amnnnnTv They say that down hen- in Johnson county they have a co oper King store, it has been in existancc since many of you know more about it than I do; it is a very successful operation, it is almost a monoply and other stores, I understand are coming down. I hiuk in 1888 their sales were about $210,000.00, they only had a capital of $10,000. 00, and their net profits $141,000.00. The fourteenth annual meeting of 'the Kansas Historical Society Avill 1 held in the hall of the house of representatives at Topeka, on Tucsd aV ii)nnon.

21. Election of member to the board of directors will take place and other im portant nusiness will come up. before the. meeting. One of the Droniinnnt rontn.

of the meeting will be an address delivered by Hon. Edward Russell of this city on "The Administration of Governor nomas uarney. Special rates to students Andy Reed's. Twenty baths' for $2,00. It seem though about half the students in the University were suffering from colds.

Notice was posted on the 1 bulletin board Wednesday for all students in the Department of Science Literature and the Arts, to register their names in order to vote for a delegate to the Oratorica Association. A class in short-hand will be started in the city soon. It will be to the ad vantage of University students to.

pat ronize the course. Short hand is a valua ble accomplishment. A new water cooler is to be "seen in the halls." But if you go out doors, the average Kansas January day will coo water with about as much celerity as any thing we have struck yet. The orations for the local contest are to be handed to the executive committee before January 10. Eleven contestants are reported to have entered and there will probably be more who have not yet spoken.

It strikes us that the faculty would do a wise thing if they excused those taking part in tho Oratorical coutest from writ ing at least, one of the themes orforensies of the term in which the contest takes place. So far as we can learn the following have decided to enter the Oratorical contest: Bear, Mushrush, Bowersock. Hadley, Baker, Ford, Iiuss and another whose name we have not learned The contest will doubtless be an interest ing one. The announcement was made that Junior and Senior substituted those were due Monday. And so they were, but we know a number of the said Juniors and Seniors who will have to slave all the rest of the term making up these abominable nuisances.

The swinging doors of the library have been covered with green baize and have glass peep holes in them. The latter have excited much comment. Imagine somebody bending over to look through those holes and have somebody come up on the other side and give, the door a jam. advance work and are now reviewing, The Journal says, "A sunset view from the University is a whole poem."
