We learn from one of the Hartford foot ball players that the whirling wedge is an illegal play. Our team is still the invincible eleven.
HARVARD offers over two hundred courses from which students may select this year.
If you haven't handed in your name for a Christmas Courier, you had better do so at once as they will all be taken soon.
THE Christmas COURIER will be issued Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. All who desire a copy sent them must hand in their names and addresses with 15 cents. The CouriER supplement is a work of art and costs over $150. Over 300 copies are already engaged.
Why not have a little tug of war tourney of our own? A pull between the different class teams would be very interesting.
The support that the University has received from the newspapers throughout the state this year is gratifying. We are depending very largely on the state press for their influence with the next legislature.
We are still waiting for some one to write a suitable song that can be adopted by the University. We already have one of the best yells in the country, now let us turn our attention to the securing of an appropriate song, one that will "take" wherever it is heard
The gift of Mrs. Lucy Stone to the University of twenty-one volumes of the Woman's Journal shows the appreciation of the advanced step taken by the University in the line of the study of woman's relation to humanity. It has always been the pride of the University to give woman a place equal with man and the course afforded on the status of women is only an advance along this line. The course offered has been the subject of much comment all over the United States,
We have won the pennant and won it fairly and honorably. No stigma of dishonor can be attached to any game played by our team. Systematic training and hard work have been the means of bringing the penant to K. S. U. The faculty deserve much praise for the encouragement given to athletics and the boys who have striven so nobly must not be forgotten. Hurrah for the boys of muscle and speed who have thus brought honor to the University.
THERE should not be a cry against foot ball because poor Hall met his death from over exertion in the game. He was a young man of sedentary habits and not being accustomed to playing foot ball, or engaging in any exercise to speak of, he was unable to bear such violent exercise. The fact is brought out all the more forcibly that a person must be in perfect physical condition, which can only be obtained by a thorough course of training, before he enters into any of the different kinds of sport.
The Business College closes a very successful term tomorrow. The winter term will begin Monday, Jan. 4th.
Passed Away Suddenly Saturday Evening.
HARRY HALL DEAD.
Yes, Harry Hall has gone! The pride of the University, the friend of every student the brilliant scholar and noble christian is with us no more. Death has come into our midst and suddenly taken away one of the brightest and most promising young men that ever entered the University. His death, so sudden, when all things seemed so promising, when the goal for which he had striven so long was almost reached, when his strong young manhood was seemingly at its best, makes his death doubly sad.
Saturday morning rejoicing in full consciousness of manly vigor, full of hope and life; Saturday evening the bright lighti of his young life gone out and noble heart forever at rest.
The news of his death was a shock to every student and professor. All loved and respected Harry and all mourn his untimely death. Saturday forenoon he took part in the Senior—Junior foot ball game. He entered heartily into the spirit of the game as he did in everything he attempted. The game was hotly contested at every point but no one was injured and he did not appear to be much fatigued by the unusual exercise. After the game he went down town and spent an hour or so with his friends and then went home. Arriving there he went to his room saying he was tired and would lie down and rest till supper. When a member of the family went to call him at 6 o'clock he lay unconscious on his bed and beyond the aid of the best physicians who were immediately called. With an expression of peace on his face he calmly and peacefully had passed away, his face quiet and composed; to receive the rewards of a pure and virtuous life. Death had come painlessly like a sleep.
The violent exertion of the football game was the probable immediate cause of his death, but there was no doubt other causes. He had been studying very hard and the severe strain may have so weakened his system that the reaction from the overexertion of the foot ball game made the access of constitutional weakness more easy than it would have been.
Harry Beaumont Hall was born in Carroll county, Mo., Oct. 30, 1869. He came to Lawrence, when his father, General Hall, moved to this city, and in the autumn of 1888 he entered the University. From the first he showed his mettle and was always the perfect gentleman and the thorough scholar. Throughout his course he has carried more than the average amount of work yet in none falling below the first rank. He took a hearty interest in all the work of the institution and was a leader in the class organizations and in the Y. M. C.A. and
was at the time of his death associated with members of the faculty in the committee on chapel exercises. His frank ways and independent scholarship made him a favorits with students and instructors alike, while his headstrong confidence in the invincibility of his powers took the breath of remonstrance away and left only admiration.
In church Harry was as earnest and loyal as in his school work. He was active in the Epworth League, and in Sunday School, in which for a time he was a teacher. He had been a member of the Methodist church for several years. The news of his sudden death cast a gloom over not only this church, but many others in which he had friends.
The funeral services were conducted Tuesday at 2 p. m. at the Methodist church. The University in respect to him was closed, and all the faculty and students attended the services. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Millur who chose for his text John 13+21.
After the sermon Prof. Templin came forward and with broken voice and trembling lip told something of Harry's true and sterling character of his hopes and fears, his temptations and his doubts.
Nowhere was the sudden death of Harry Hall more keenly felt than at the Uiiversity among his fellow students. The expressions of sorrow and sympathy were heard on every hand and a shadow seemed to rest upon all the different classes.
The services were deeply impressive and sorrow was shown on every countenance. Eight or his immediate University classmates and friends acted as his pallbeares.

The Christmas displays by many of the merchants of the city are the most attractive ever seen here and the children gather around the windows in crowds.
Enthusiasm for the University foot ball team was shown by a large number of merchants today in the decorations in front of their stores.
The following clipping will be of interest to mrny old K.U. students: The Cambridge Art circle had the pleasure of hearing Mrs. Harriet Haskell MacDonard in her interesting lecture on James Russell Lowell, last Tuesday evening, at the residence of Mr. Fred H. Holton, 720 Main street. Mrs. MacDonald began by saying that Mr. Lowell presented strong characteristics of the New England typ, having descended from English ancestors, who early settled in Newbury, Mass.. and that in all Mr. Lowell's studies writings and achievements, even after he had received high honors, not only from our own land, but also from abroad, he never failed to show that he was a true New England man. The essayist spoke of Mr. Lowell while in college, stating that he was more distinguished for the extent and variety of his reading, and for a careful and just criticism of English authors than for strict classical attainments. After the close of the essay, Dr. A.P. Clarke, president of the circle,spoke on some points brought out by the reader, and expressed the great delight the circle had taken in the entertainment of the evening.

REFINEMENT in dress emphasizes the lady or gentleman, and as such little things as Neckwear, Collars and Cuffs, Shirts, etc., play an important part, careful discrimination should be made in the selection. We would therefore advise all in quest of such articles to call on Bromelsick, where you will always find the largest assortment and latest fads in furnishings.
OUR stock of Fine Chinas, Fine Lamps and fancy goods for the holiday trade is now ready. To say our stock is Large and complete does not express it, and for us to undertake to enumerate the different classes, styles, qualities and prices of our stock, would be simply to monopolize this whole paper, we therefore ask you to visit the Old Reliable China Store of J.
