It is possible that there may be a club in the country that can down the K. S. U. nine, but up to the present writing no such aggregation has been encountered.-Lawrence Journal.
OWING to the necessary departure of Mr. Frank Lutz,Mr. Geo.I. Adams has been elected local editor for the remainder of the year.Any favors shown him will be appreciated by the Courier.
THE Baker Beacon is greatly perturbed because the school at Baldwin is not recognized as a university. Strange, isn't it that the general public are so ignorant of the colossal greatness of that institution?
THAT scheme, proposed some time ago, of forming a base ball league between the State Universities of Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa and Kansas should be immediately consummated and arrangements made at once for a series of games. Has the matter been dropped or is it yet in the slow process of construction?
THAT the University of Kansas offers not only "book learning" but a practical education to its students is most plainly demonstrated by the fine display of mechanical instruments in the windows of Woodward's drug store. All these tools and instruments were made in the University shops by engineering students. The display certainly reflects great credit upon that department.
THE students of the University of Kansas have taken great pleasure in meeting the ball players of the Nebraska State University, both on and off the diamond. The Nebraska boys are all gentlemen and the Courier only regrets that a more hearty welcome could not have been given them. However the informal reception of Monday evening was at least an indication of our good will, and at another time we hope to be able to right royally entertain them. Such visits as this from the students of our sister state institutions are always appreciated by us and it is sincerely hoped that this will not be the last one from our neighbors on the north.
THAT the University of Kansas has one of the best and most inspiring college yells in the country has often been demonstrated, but never better than at the last ball game. When defeat was staring us in the face the old yell came to our rsscue and inspired our players with courage. Although the University yell was used Monday to good effect, yet "guying," we are glad to note, was entirely absent. Never did our boys conduct themselves in a more gentlemanly and courteous manner.
For the benefit of the hypercritical and a few "dispensers of morals," we should like to make an obvious, but oft misunderstood distinction. Cheering is as different from "guying" as light is from
darkness. By the one, a college team is urged on to renewed exertions, while their opponents lose heart at the mere display of enthusiasm; in the other, taunts and derivative remarks are hurled at the opposing team until they become "rattled" and are thus not able to do themselves justice.
The college yell and cheers are perfectly legitimate and it is by them that vent is given to the effervescent college enthusiasm. At the games with all the older institutions such a continuous cheering is kept up that one can scarcely hear himself think, and the college which can put up the best support with its yell generally wins. Our University has a splendid yell and long may it continue to urge us on to victory.
OWING to the exceedingly wet weather of late, work on the athletic field has been impossible for the past two weeks and in consequence the field day exercises cannot be held there on the 28th. As only one week more remains until that date, steps should be immediately taken to secure the old base ball park, as that is the only available place. Notwithstanding the drawbacks which athletics have had this spring, we should have a good field day. There is some talk of playing a return game with Nebraska that day but it is hoped that it is only talk, and that the game will be arranged for another date. Field day has been postponed as it is, a week later than it should have been, and nothing should interfere to change the exercises of field day from the appointed date—a week from Saturday. Let everyone be ready to do his best that day, and let nothing but the inclement weather prevent the exercises from being held.
BASE BALL.
With the victory over Nebraska last Monday our ball club has won four games this spring, and not yet suffered defeat. Practically the triangular league pennant is already ours, although the formality of again*playing Baker will have to be gone through with, as Washburn will probably lose tomorrow's game. If we can defeat the Missourians Saturday,the University of Kansas will certainly have a ball club of which she may be justly proud.
Monday's game was a close and exciting one and clearly demonstrates the strength of our team. However the batting was exceedingly poor. This may be accounted for in part at least, by the fact that the Nebraska pitcher "twirls the sphere" in a very exasperating manner, but the main cause of the poor batting average can be attributed to another cause. Several prizes had been offered for home runs and two and three base hits. Almost every man that went to the bat on Monday endeavored to "kill" the ball, instead of simply trying to hit it safe. That these prizes were offered was certainly unfortunate, as they tended rather to defeat the very end for which they were given. In consequence of this strife for long hits, the "fans" were entirely too numerous and sacrifice hits were conspicuous by their absence.
A club composed of men who can hit the ball without attempting to "kill" it, will win more games than a nine of phenomenal sluggers. Team work in batting will certainly win and the sooner our ball players find this out the better. It is hoped the prizes, for long hits will be removed, as the constant endeavor to win them, threatens to ruin some of our batters.
COMMENCEMENT.
Extensive preparations are being made for commencement this June, and the exercises promise to be of unusual interest. The graduating class this spring is an exceedingly large one, numbering in all departments about eighty students. The senior collegiate class is comparatively small, but there is more than the usual increase in the other departments. The law class is especially large—there being thirty-three graduates. There are thirteen graduates in music and art, eleven in pharmacy and four in the department of engineering, making in all departments an increase over last year of about twenty-five graduates.
A new feature has been introduced into the commencement day program. This year all the departments are to be represented on that day; two speakers are to be selected from the school of arts and one from each of the other departments. This is certainly an improvement. Not only will all the graduates thus be represented, but an increased interest and variety will be added to the exercises of that day.
Rev. Franklin Johnson has been asked to deliver the annual baccalaureate sermon and he has kindly consented. Rev. Johnson is at present preaching in Ottawa, Kan., but because he hails from a second class town it must not be thought he is a second class man. He is one of the most justly famous preachers in all the West, and his address will undoubtedly be exceptionally fine.
It is greatly to be regretted that Horace E. Scudder, editor of the Atlantic Monthly, who was to have given the annual address, is unable to fulfill his appointment on account of sickness. As yet no substitution has been made in his place, but Regent Gleed is now in New York City and he will undoubtedly secure us a good man.
Phi Delta Theta.
A merry party gathered in the Phi Delt hall last Saturday evening. The rain did not dampen the arder of the pleasure seekers, and it was only when Sunday came that the company broke up. Fifteen couple were present.
Millinery.
Now is the time to get your fashionable millinery. Call at Mrs. Gardner's and get her prices on millinery. Everything is being sold at the lowest prices in the city.
SPECIAL NOTICE.
Saturday's Game Declared ong.
Word has just been received from Kansas City that the Missouri University ball club cannot possibly play K. S. U. tomorrow. No reason was given.
Science Club.
The annual meeting of the Science club for the reading of papers showing work in the line of original investigation, has been a feature of this club since its beginning, more than eight years ago.
The other annual meeting of this club, which is held in January,is of an entirely different character, and is known to the initiated as the "it." The papers read at the "It" are not usually of a grave character.
The University has at present as many men, both among the students and the faculty bodies, that are devoting all their spare time to investigation and it is fitting that there should be a summary of their work at the end of the year.
All, both ladies and gentlemen who are interested in the topics discussed, are invited to be present in Snow hall on Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
The program is as follows:
Notes on Magnetic Declination. F O Marvin.
