Prof. Sayre is conducting chapel exercises this week. He is making an effort to have chapel attendance more universal.
Prof. Engel's Freshman German class has finished "Das Bild des Kaiser" and will now take up Schiller's "Maria Stuart."
Mr. Farley is the first University student to occupy a Lawrence pulpit this year. He preached last Sunday evening at the Christian church.
Professor and Mrs. Green entertained the members of the senior law class last evening in that delightfully informal manner that makes the evening seem all too short.
Mrs. Dunlap addressed the University Y. W. C. A. last week on "The Power of Music." The lecture was very interesting and instructive and was much enjoyed by all present.
The Y. M. C. A. have a new notice framed and posted in the halls, announcing their regular meeting Sunday afternoon and Bible-class Saturday night. It is quite an improvement over the old notice.
Prof. Blackmar has recently forwarded to Washington for publication "A History of Higher Education in Kansas." This will make a book of about 250 pages. It will be published by the government.
The Logic class had its final examination last Monday. It is safe to assert that we shall no longer hear the astonishing facts that "Man is mortal" and that "Iron is a metal."
The regents of the University will probably have a meeting within the next two weeks to decide upon the location of the new buildings and other matters concerning the appropriations recently made by the legislature.
Prof. Blake lectured in Kansas City last Friday night. Just as he was starting from the hotel to give his lecture he received a telegram from Chancellor Snow which read:" $50,000 and $10,000. Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, K. U." This news so much pleased the Professor that he read the telegram to his audience. He says he expects to have that telegram framed and kept for a souvenir.
The Independents gave their second dance last Friday night in Fraternal Aid Hall. Promptly at half past eight fifty-five couples joined in the Grand March, keeping time to the music of Prof. Saunders' orchestra. During the evening refreshments were served at Gildner's restaurant. The young people danced till a late hour and went to their homes declaring that it was the pleasantest evening they had ever spent. The Independents are acquiring an enviable reputation as entertainers.
The Kappa Alpha Thetas held an open meeting Saturday afternoon at the home of Miss Edith Clarke. Mrs. Dr. Walker read a paper on Queen Louise. Mrs. Carruth read a poem, translated by herself, on the same subject. The Thetas went from there to Miss Haskell's and initiated Miss Dewese, Miss Taylor and Miss Towne. After these ceremonies were over the company partook of refreshments and spent the remainder of the evening telling ghost stories.
The substitution of the Lotus Glee Club in place of Mr. Gunsaulus in the lecture course will prove more acceptable than any other that could probably have been made, and the concert Saturday night by the Club will undoubtedly prove as popular as the previous entertainments by this excellent musical organization.
