Washburn College lecture course is the name of a series of lectures and musical entertainments which are to be delivered before the students during the school year. This is something new at Washburn, and.

should be hailed with delight by every student of the insutition. These lectures will be given by men of recognized ability and some of national reputation. The first lecture will be delivered in the college chapel about the last of October-by Hon. Noble Prentis. The next will be a lecture recital given by-Mr.

Edward B. Perry, the well known blind: pianoist of Boston, who has gained a wide reputation in this country for his remarkable, instructive pianoforte lecture recitals. Mr. Ly. M.

Elson, of Boston, will give a musical entertainment. Judge Solan O. Thatcher, of Lawrence, is to deliver a lecture. Misses Ingalls, Charles and Mr. Cleaves will give a musical dramatic entertainment in March, and the last lecture will be delivered by John J.

Ingalls, who is known through the length and breadth of this country. These lectures will undoubtedly be of great interest to the students, and no one can afford to miss them. One dollar and fifty cents will be charged for a ticket giving admission to the six lectures. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1891. Thk typographical errors which appeared in the last issue were not the oversight of the proof reader, but carelessness of the printer, who failed to correct the errors pointed out by the proof reader.

The Argo is now printed at another place, where we expect first class work will be done. Thk prospect of Washburn coming to the. front in foot-ball this fall is bright, although we do not ignore the strength of either K. S. U.

or Baker. They have undoubtedly strong elevens that will make victory to be obtained only by hard playing, but nevertheless we will face them on the field with a determination to win. The strength of the Colleges in the Triangular league will be fairly tested this year, and it may be of considerable importance in future years which College take the lead this year. Judging from the interest manifested last Friday night, when $150 were raised in a few minutes for athletic our students seem to realize the importance of assisting our men. This is something in the right direction, and we trust that every student who has not yet contributed anything for this object will do so.

Our men can do better work when they know that they have: the support of the whole school. Thk staff of the Argo elected last spring has been somewhat changed. Mr. Mills, who was elected Kditor-in-Chief, and Mr. Storrs, associate editor, have resigned for lack of time, Mr.

Mills being president of the Y. M. C. and Mr. Storrs captian of the foot ball team, in whom the Argo loses two very strong men.

Hiram Vrooman is not back to school this year, and James Poston wished to give up the business management, in whose place W. M. Mason is elected. To fill the other vacancies F. Stong, F.

Whitney, W. Dunham have been elected. With this force we shall undertake the task before us, and if we can make any improvement on the past it shall be our aim..
