ceit. His grade book may not average up one, but he gains by far a more valuable knowledge of human nature than Greek or Latin can bring him and leaves school liking and beliked universally. We leave it to our readers to judge, which type has received the most good from his college course.
The much talked of legislature, on the 4th of this month, passed the University Appropriation bill which gives the University of Kansas $75,000 for the expenses of the school year. This is as good as the more extravagant body of two years ago did. The farmers of Kansas, in this measure, have shown that while they believe in retrenchment and reform, do not believe in being niggardly in the matter of higher education. Although the amount is not as large as we need, and not one-fourth the amount we could use we are very thankful that we have it, and the tax payers of the state may rest assured that every cent will be placed where it will do the most good. The several men who have aided so much in this matter have the sincere thanks of the students of this institution, for their untiring efforts in their behalf. The legislature hereafter, in this school, will not be stigmatized as a body of hay-seeds, but as wise and far-seeing legislators.
In regard to the league between different Kansas colleges which has been spoken of before in these columns, Baker has done nothing. Representatives from Washburn and K. S. U. have written to persons empowered to act in the interest of Baker for their opinion on this subject. Common courtesy would naturally expect an answer to a personal letter but in this case we cannot expect anything. If correspondence is out of the question we would respectfully ask you Dear Beacon to define your school's position on the athletic question through your columns. If you don't want to play we will take our doll rags and go home.
An enterprising dental student of the University of Pennsylvania has succeeded in making teeth from potatoes. Wonder if you have to dust them with Paris green to keep the potato bugs off.
BAKER's victory has swelled its head not a little. It now challenges any school in the state to compete in any thing. If you want any thing in the athletic line come on, K. S. U, is here as you know to your sorrow.
THERE is some talk of having an Oratorical Contest this spring, as a sort of feeler as to what we may expect next year.

AMUSEMENTS.
Commencing Monday March 9th, one full week with Saturday matinee, the Stuart Theater company.
This company plays this week in Emporia and the Emporia Republi-can has this to say of the cast: "While Miss Stuart is the bright particular star of the organization the rest of the company lose none of their attractiveness as they are all particularly good in their several parts. There are eleven people in the company. Several of them are much above the average professionals in their line. Messrs. C. W. Travis, F. W. Barnard and W. R. Beecher are entitled to special mention, all of them being painstaking and meritorious actors. Mr. Barnard is an actor of the old school as can readily be discovered by his careful make-up, natural manners, correct and clear enunciation upon the stage." Popular prices.
A Suggestion.
The catalogue announces a spring recess of three days, Thursday, Friday and Monday, during April. It has been the custom to give this on Arbor day as this makes a good dividing point in the long session of school from Christmas until the close of school. But we see no special reason why this recess should especially be given on Arbor day. If there were no other better time to give it, it might be well to honor this day, but it seems to me that it would be much better to have this vacation at the close of the first half term. This would give us the same days and not far from the same date as Arbor day. There is a reason for this. Many classes have half term studies and the recess coming between the terms would not interfere at all with the work of such, and not more with the full term classes than if it were given at Arbor day. It is to be hoped the matter will be considered. W.C.
Modern Language Club.
The German division of the club will meet today at Prof. Carruth's at 4 o'clock. A varied program has been prepared and a pleasant time is assured.
The French division of the M. L.C. held their meeting at the residence of Prof. Carruth last Friday at 4 p.m. The program consisted of an essay by Mr. O'Leary, reading by Miss Hair, a scene from Moliere by Misses Virginia Spencer and O'Brien and Mr. O'Brien, and a discussion by Misses Belle Spencer and Pugh as to the relative merits of the French and English languages. The program was well carried out and enjoyed by all.
No literary announcement of the year is of greater interest to the general public than that of a comprehensive Life of General Sherman, which is about to be published and sold through agents by the noted house of Hubbard Brothers, of Philadelphia. Admirable biographies of Grant and Sheridan, complete to the time of their death,
Life of General Sherman.
are already familiar to the public, but a life of the third great commander, to finish the series, has been lacking. The various biographies of Sherman hitherto published have necessarily been incomplete; and even his own memoris, written 1875, said almost nothing of his intensely interesting early life, and not a word, of course, of the more than twenty years of social activity and fraternity with old comrades since the war.
The work which is now to be issued will splendidly supply the widely felt demand for a history of the great strategic cammander. It is to be writtan by General O. O. Howard, a man of fine literature attainments, who knew Sherman better than other of his comrades now living, and ranked next but one to him in the army, and by Willis Fletcher Johnson, whose ability as a historian is familiar to the reading public of America through his former unusually popular works, which have had millions of readers, and the sales of their vast editions enriched an army of book agents. That this history of Sherman, the last of the great Generals, will surpass all others in popularity is not to be doubted.
The story of this great General's career is of a marvellous march from the mountains of time to the sea of eternity. Of the three great war heroes, Sherman was by far the most interesting personality. He was the best known to the public and the best loved for his genial disposition and warm sympathy with the popular heart. He has joined his illustrious compere in the eternal bivouac of the dead. His is a life to study—to emulate—and is a profound inspiration. The forthcoming volume will tell the whole story of his marvellous career, and from the authorship engaged upon it, we are assured it will be told in a way that will enthral the attention and interest of every reader from first to last. It is a book every American will want and one every American youth should read. It will doubtless be the best life of the great chieftan published, and we predict for it wonderful popularity.
Last Thursday evening Rev. T. E. Vassar, the 7th lecturer of the Y. M. C. A. course, addressed a large audience at the Baptist church. His subject was the "Alps." Vivid description, stirring adventure and accounts of the danger of climbing the Alps entertained the audience. The Y. M. C. A. managers are to be congratulated on their continued success.
W. W. Overton withdrew from University work today, to accept a position with a prominent law firm at Kansas City. Mr. Overton has many friends among our professors and students who will regret to hear of his intended departure.
Through the kindness of John A. Mushrush we again have the Kansas City Journal in the reading room. We express the thanks of the school.
