THERE should be a triangular league in all the sports.
PROF. HOPKINS and Prof. Sterling as managers of the foot ball and base ball clubs are in the right place. A year of unparalled success in athletics is predicted by those who know.
The students of the State University of Iowa, are becoming quite journalistic. They issue a triweekly, the Vidette Reporter, and a weekly pamphlet of 20 pages, the S.U.I. Quill.
BALDWIN, you're not in it this year, while we strictly are. Our foot-ball club is the best in the state. Whitman and Alden can play tennis just a little bit. Our base ball boys—Yes you met 'em, 15 to 4!
THE Baker Beacon was full of foot ball items last week. They expect to win. Boys we beseech and implore you to take the conceit out of Baldwin. Like the frog that essayed to equal the ox, Baldy is quite inflated.
Work while ye may. The day of reckoning will surely come; that day when there will be a separation of the sheep from the goats and all who possess more than one card having the color of the rose will be cast forth into the cold, cold world.
WHILE waiting for a train a Lawrence last week a Baker university student was kidnapped and robbed and a State university student arrested for the crime. War has been declared between the two universities,--Clay Center Dispatch.
Yes siree. The complaint he lodged was that he lost his bible. Isn't that enough for a feud?
The faculty are endeavoring by wise persuasion to put a stop to so many fraternity parties during the year. This is a straw and it is floating in the gentle breezes very perceptibly. There is to be more studying and the requirements are to be more rigorous in the college course. Another straw like the above and we will know for sure that we are entering upon a hard job. No loafers need apply.
UNIVERSITY extension is now occupying the attention of the attention of the educational world. Its purpose is to bring higher education into closer relations to the nnasses. The way in which this is to be done is by a course of lectures given at a nominal price. One criticism is that university extension is dangerous to the universities proper. If the mountain won't come to Mahomet, Mahomet must go to the mountain and the mountain found no doubt that Mahomet
was a very good sort of a fellow. So it is with the universities, the people will find that the university is a mighty nice thing and will desire a closer acquaintance. In the popular catch word of the movement—when the people cannot go to the university, the university will go to the people.
The discerning eye of our microscopically acute friend has discovered a new word which we have added to our English language. We did not know it. If the Journal correspondent wishes to learn the best English there is going we advise him to take the Courier and pay for it.
THAT environment influences men and scamps itself plamly upon them is nowhere better illustrated than in a body of students returned from their summer vacation. Look over the students as they pass back and forth through the halls and you can tell almost to a certainty what each one has been doing through the summer. One is sunburned and horny-handed, his face clear and open. We know at once that he is from the farm. Another wears a suave smile and his tongue glides with the smoothness of a toboggan. Is it necessary to state that he has been a book agent? Another has a thoughtful look and the lines on his face speak clearly of the student life carried on during the sweltering days and nights of summer. Instances without number might be added. They show how each one unconciously is changed and modified by the influences that bear on him during three short months.
In our last issue we had occasion to remark something concerning the talked of lecture course conducted by private parties in the name of the University. We opposed the plan then and will continue to do so, believing as we do, in common with the student body, that a lecture course having the name of the University attached to it should represent the University and not a very small number of individuals. To ward the gentlemen interested in this socalled University lecture course we have not the slightest personal feeling, but we believe that they have assumed a function to which they have no right. We however, do not believe in destroying any plan unless we have a better one to offer. We believe a University course should be managed either by the faculty or students, and if any benefits accrue let them be used for the good of the University and not to private ends. In pursuance of this idea we would suggest that a meeting of the students be called and a lecture course organization effected, the power of which shall be to provide a University lecture course and the profits if any, to go to some enterprise in which the students are as a body interested. We believe the above voices the sentiments of the majority of the students.
Our athletics sports are on the boom. Come on Baldwin.
Foot ball and Prof. Hopkins Base ball and Prof. Sterling.
THE professors are at the same old game, each one gives a lesson that would take the whole day to get well. This is rather disheartening to students who desire to do thorough work. ___
TEE Juniors hunted out a safe time to challenge the Seniors for a game of base ball. The grounds are occupied by the Blues both this week and next and as the Juniors's challenge is limited to two weeks, in all probability they will claim the championship in the University.
The Historical Seminary.
The first meeting will be held today at 4 o'clock in room 15. All members of the department of history and sociology are expected to be present.
PROGRAMME.
F. W. Blackmar—The past and Future Work of the Seminary.

Krehbiel's Appointment.
Mr. D. R. Krehbiel who would have graduated from the natural history course, has accepted a position as meat inspector of Kansas City at a salary of $1,400 a year. Senator Buchan asked Chancellor Snow to recommend some person for the position and the chancellor accordingly recommended Mr. Krehbiel for the position. He was a very hard student and is well fitted for the pace. This only adds to the large list of persons who have taken the course in natural history course in the University and now fill very important positions throughout the country. Besides Professor Dyche, Stevens, and Kellogg and Miss Crotty who occupy positions in the faculty, there are Harvey Brown, '88, employed in the National museum, now in Africa on an exploring expedition. Dyce McClaren, '86, director of the agricultural experimental station and professor of natural history in the University of Wyoming, Richard Foster, professor of natural history in Howard University, Washington, and many others who are now filling important positions in a very satisfactory manner.
Mrs. Barnes' prices for dress making are the same as formerly, $5.00 to $10.00. Very handsome and stylish street costumes made for $7.00. Call and see her at 826 Massachusetts street.
The frost bitten lecture course is still in the ring. Like a certain departed shade that Shakespeare tells about, it won't go down. It is not wanted. Why not let it disap pear?
Mr-Wilbur, the newly employed state college secretary, will have charge of the Y. M. C. A. meeting Friday night at 7:15. He is a bright fellow. Come.

The chancellor has been busy this week interviewing some of the students in regard to the amount of work they were doing. Some very strange cases came up for consideration. One student wants to take five full studies, another wants to take only two. This inequality occurs at the beginning of every term, however, and it is considered routine business.
Chancellor and Mrs. Snow ten dered the members of the faculty a reception Monday evening. The entire faculty almost without an exception took advantage of the lind invitation and paid their respects to our most popular chancellor and his estimable wife.
Witsell thought Hadley's oratory was a species of clap trap. Then Prof. Blackmar pulled the string and the trap fell.
