Agassiz as a Teacher. One of the most interesting lectures of the season was delivered in the University chapel on the evening of Nov. 17th, by President David S. Jordan of the Leland Stanford Jr. University, on "Agassiz as a Teacher."
But a very brief sketch of Agassiz's life was given, most of the lecture being devoted to his work, its nature, and value. He was educated for a physician but early turned his attention to natural history. After graduating from Munich, he was elected to a professorship in a Swiss university, and while holding this chair he slept seventy nights on a glacier in order to study its movements. Here also he formulated the glacial theory in search of proof of which he traveled over Europe, and in 1846 came to America. He found the boulders of Nova Scotia and North America generally to be round as though worn by water, whereas those of Europe were angular; and thought his theory was overthrown until he reasoned that the difference in elevation of the countries accounted for the difference in the shape of the boulders.
Agassiz was attracted by the progressive spirit of American people, and with their freedom of thought, so he accepted a chair in Harvard, where he immediately revolutionized the study of natural history. Emerson complained that the symetry of Harvard was being destroyed by the rapid development of the natural history development under Agassiz's influence. Agassiz replied that the natural history department was not developed too rapidly, but that the other departments were growing too slowly, and that inspiration is more essential to a University than symmetry. He deplored the lack of specialization and post graduate work in American Universities, but his influence was such that in a very short time after he took his chair there were more post graduate students at work under him than in all other American universities.
Agassiz was an eloquent man and inspired his students with a true love for the study of nature. He died in 1873, but his influence is still being spread by his pupils, among whom are Dr. Brooks, of Johns Hopkins, Dr. Crosby, of Boston, Dr. Whitman, of Chicago, Prof. Scudder, President Jordan, and Chancellor Snow, of our own University.
One instance will illustrate his method of teaching. Prof. S. H., Scudder, the eminent American naturalist, came to Agassiz, and told him that he wanted to become an authority on butterflies, and was willing to spend his life studying them. Agassiz gave him a fish and told him to examine it and report what he saw. For one year Prof. Scudder studied that one variety of fishes, with nothing but fishes for a text book. Then he was permitted to begin the study of butterflies

Sigma Nu Reception.
Frazer's Hall never looked prettier than it did last night, the occasion being the reception and dance given by the young gentlemen of Sigma Nu fraternity. For the last two or three weeks university society people have been in a state of excitement contemplating the pleasure to be derived from the affair, and it is needless to say that that the party was fully up to expectations. The hall was beautifully decorated with the colors of the fraternity artistically draped by Mr. Innes and his assistants. The stage was almost completely hidden by foliage and flowers, and some sixty couples enjoyed dancing to the sweet music of Buch's orchestra of twelve pieces. Dainty refreshments were served on the stage by Wiedemann, and it was at an early hour when the merry party departed. Neat souvenirs were given to all.
Foot Ball Excursion.
The Santa Fe route has been chosen for the Thanksgiving foot ball excursion to Kansas City and it is confidently expected that a good big train load of enthusiastic wearers of the crimson will eat their turkey in Kansas City and witness the great Kansas—Missouri game in the afternoon.
Tickets are now on sale at the University and Santa Fe city office. Leis drug store. One fare for the round trip. Se cure tickets at once, as only sufficient cars will be engaged to accommodate tickets sold.
The entertainment given by Unity club Saturday night was witnessed by a large audience, and everybody voted it a success. The musical part of the program consisted of a song by the male quartette, and two instrumental pieces by Mrs. Strauff. Miss Titworth was ill and not sing. Dr. Barker's Great Invention, a very clever little farce, was capitally done, the actors all taking their parts in an exceedingly natural manner. Charles Griffin took the part of the eccentric old Doctor; Clarence Sears, Fred Wilder, Kate Menet and Miss Corbin filled the other parts. The change from old age to youth was well done and the audience showed by frequent applause that it was well pleased. A neat sum was added to Unity club treasury and the popularity of the entertainments of which this was the first is established.
Several delegations of Baker people visited Lawrence yesterday to let the people know how glad they were that the foot bull game went as it did Saturday.

The Beta Theta Pi fraternity gave their annual "Turkey Pullin'" last Friday night at the Odd Fellows hall. The Turkey Pullin' is always looked forward to as one of the pleasantest social events of the school year and this one proved to be exceptionally enjoyable. The hall was furnished with easy chairs and tastily decorated with potted plants and fraternity colors.
There were thirty couples present. The costumes were elaborate, the music excellent, lent a special charm to the dancing, and all combined to make the party a brilliant one. An elegant collation was served during the evening by Weidemann. Each guest received a dainty souvenir of the occasion.
