ary department Of the agr.eals
college. Mu. Kedsie. who has charge q
this department Of scientific resesscn,
had prepared . collation. which she with
her assistants served in very accsptaole
manner. More than fifty memben Of
the academy were seated ct tho ample
board, end the occasion developed mos
only science in the kitchen and gasero-
nomically, but it broughtup wide range
of expression in other lines Of scientific
interest, and "reminiscences Of other
days.
President Nichols presided. and well
filed the place assigned, him, and when
something like Justice had been admins
tered to the substantial things Of tho
banquet, he called on President Fair
child, of the agricultural college. Hesaid
he felt that Manhattan had been favored
in having the academy meet with Us. IT
was one of the many elements in theed-
ucational line teaching us all how to live,
which, indeed, was the main object Of
all men. All desired to live we'll.
Prot. Snow, of the state university was
called. He alluded to the former meet
ing of the academy in Manhattan thir-
teen years ago. Prof. Nudge, an active
member then, had gone from Us. New
members had come in. We could then
hardly fill half days session; now three
days was too brief q time for the many
subjects to receive attention. The state
had grown. Where three persons con-
sttuted the faculty of the university,
and taught everything under the
sun, now twenty-five were engaged to
do the same work. Abiding to . recent

would ,ea,> . the calculation of further
houehss.on the subject, to the scientific
seA led at this table.
President M 'hols said there were
hree centers ofgA srning and science in
he state. We had heard from two of
hem; it was proper the third should be
leard. He called on Prof. Dinsmore, Of
Gmporia.
Prot. D. said he would have bright
to carry away foan this, his
irst visit to Manhattan. He had proved
he science of cookery; and YVES glad this
gricultural college was prepal ing its
tudents specially with reference IA the
omfort of the ZONES of the land.
he institution at Lawrence was pre-
airing them for all scientific lines of
7ork, and the normal school at EN-
oria, WAS preparing teachers for the
chools of the state.
There were manv other speakers
allied, who demonstrated that there
'ere more than three centers of power

wanted it understood that
here was a great institution of the state
ear that city, in which many Kansans
7ere interested, or at least their friends
7ere. There was some scientific work
eing done inside that institution.
Among the other speakers was Joseph
avage, of Lawrence, who detailed some
+ the perils undergone by the early
tudents in natural science in Kansas.
le had been beset by wolves on the
lains, and in almost as great danger as
hen he passed through the Quantrell
aid at Lawrence. But he had heard
ROT. Nudge say, no harm would come to
scientist.
The evening closed with general good
selling and satisfaction. Ire.
