The Kansas State Agricultural College
was organized under the land grant act
of 1862. according to which 1.-The leading
object shall be, without excluding other
scientific and classical studies, and, in
Guiding military tactics, to teach such
branches of learning as are related to
agriculture and the mechanic arts, in
such manner as the Legislatures of the
States may respectively prescribe in or
der to promote the liberal pursuits and
professions in life"
There are five sources OF revenue by
which the college is maintained:
/. The endowment fund, derived from
the sale of land granted by Congress for
this purpose. This fund is invested

etc, successfully to conduct an agricul-
tural college of such scope as was in
tended by the organic act OF Congress.
The State further agreed to keep the en-
dowment fund undiminished forever.
The necessity Of State control of the
college and it's funds is apparent from
the above This control is vested in
board Of regents, seven in number. For
merly the president of the college was
eX-oficiO a regent.
There have been two reOrganlzatlons
in the history of the Kansas State Ag
ricultural College. In 1873 it became evil
dent to the board of regents that the
institution was not fulfilling the pur-
poses for which it was established, and
they decided to change its policy and
methods. Hon. John A. Anderson was
elected president in place Of Rev. DR..
Dennison. A great howl arose. Men
who did not know the difference between
a rUtabaga and a hexameter declared that
the college was ruined. The retired pres
ident and the dismissed professors were
certain that the college was being turned
to base uses, and that Kansas was hui
inflated. She has been humiliated sew
eral times since.
It was the purpose of the Anderson ad-
ministration to make better farmers,
mechanics, artisans, and to develop in
dependent, manly ideas. President An
derson, generous, broad, liberal, warm
hearted, and withal practical, had 20
face the Kisses Of the majority of the
students, who, caught, as young men
and women are apt to be, by the idea
of loyalty to their former instructors,
bitterly opposed him. Then, as now,
much of the opposition came from Man
haitian, and was by no means confined to
the student body. Fortunately no one
could make political capital out of the
change. The Republican party was the
sole party in the State, hence the oppo-
sition died as soon as the people saw
the wisdom Of the change. No one then
persistently, systematically and wilfully
misrepresented the motives of the board
Of regents, Of the new president and
professors.
President Anderson remained for six
years He was followed by President
Fairchild, who held the position for
eighteen years. Mr.. Fairchild has a
classical and theological education. HQ
taught literature and English in Mich
igan Agricultural College for fourteen
years, during one of which he was acting
president in the absence of the president
of said college. A man of middle age,
whose natural conservatism was empha-
sized by education, training and sur
roundings, he failed to maintain the
vigorous, progressive policy of his pre-
decessor; and the college slowly lost it's
relatively prominent position, until it
was more than OvershadOwed by other
educational institutions, and was out

Travelling Hospitals.

New York Tribune The introduce
ton OF a hospital car on the Belg; n
railroads is noted by Consul Morri, of
Client. The simple design of this. is,
as explained. that in the event of a
serious railroad accident the car may
be run TO the spot, where the wounded
may be picked up and carried to the
nearest city for treatment, instead of
being left 10 pass hours in some way
side station while awaiting surgical
attendance. The interior OF this car
is divided into a main compartment.
a corridor on one side, and two small
rooms at the end. The largest com
partment, the hospital proper, contains
tw~enty-four isolated beds on steel
tubes held upon powerful springs;
each bed is provided with a small
movable table, n cord serving 10 hold
all the various small objects which
may be needed, and each patient lies
in front Of two little windows. which
may be closed or opened at will. The
corridor on the outside of the hospi-
tai chamber leads to the linen closet
and the doctors apartment: in the
latter is a large cupboard, the upper
portion being used for drugs, while
the lower is divided into two sections,
one serving as n ease for surgical in
struments and the other as a recepta-
Gle for the doctors folding bed.

Philosophy from a Debtor.

A collector Of unpaid bills has a hard
time OF il, but q met q philosophical
debtor recently who convinced HIM of
some astounding facts, says the AmuSe-
u.oy.s vvsr.~I. frss ~ONosVor sam that
he had been chasing the said p~hilosoph-
kal debtor for about six months and
was getting tired. 1t was always
"Come around tomorrow" or Haven't
got it now
Say" he said, when he made his last
trip. ~are you ever going to pay this
bill?'
why, yes, some day" the philoso-
pher replied. But look here, young
man, ! want to show you a thing or
TWO. How many bills have you in that
pack?'
About forty" said the collector.
"How long does it take you to visit
all these people?" the philosopher iu-
quired.
About a day"
What if all paid up promptly
why, hat would be great"
Would ii? What would You do for
a living if all these debtors paid up in
one day?"
Ihe collector looked DIank Tor a mo-
meut.
Great Jerusalem. I'd be out OF a
job"
Well, then, don't be so anxious TO
collect every penny due TO your people.
One bill a day is enough. As for me,
come around some time next week and
| may do something for you" and the
philosopher faded away.

Rubinstein, the famous pianist, went
% confession one day in the Kasan
Cathedral. in ST. Petersburg. After the
confession he stepped to the "sacristy
book" TO inscribe his name. The o~ficiat-
ing priest asked him his name,r rank, and
profession.
.'Rubinstein, artist" came the an.
swer.
You are in service at some theater?'
No"
You g!yc instruction in some iusti-
tuteP"
No; I am a musician"
Then you are employed some
where?"
Il told you once no."
We'll. how then shall / inscribe you
here?"
The two men looked at each other
several moments. Then a wise
thought, in his own estimation, came
TO the priest.
What is your father?" he asked, bis
eyes Frightening.
Merchant Of the second class"
Then" cried the priest with JOY, lat
last we know who you are! We shall
write. therefore. Son Of a merchant of
the second class"
This scene gave Rubinstein much
food for thought. II led him to estab-
fish his conservatory and the musical
society in order to teach the Russian
people what the word musician might
mean.
