The foot ball game last Saturday cleared for the Athletic Association $557,80, which is over three times more than has ever been cleared before at any athletic contest here in Lawrence. This fact alone proves the wisdom of charging fifty cents to all our 'Varsity foot ball games. If the few people, who are grumbling over this raise in the price of admission, will remember that while it may mean twenty-five cents more out of their pocket to attend one of these games, it means two or three hnndred dollars in the pocket of the Athletic Associatian, and the Athletic Association needs money for a gymnasium, improvements on McCook field, the hiring of a coach, etc.

The subjects discussed are not time-worn but subjects of interest, and worthy the consideration of the student body as well as men and women who specialize is these departments.

Newson, one of the leading mathematicians of the West, writes on the "Linear Geometry of the Cubic and Quartic, I," an article which must prove of immense interest to advanced mathematicians.
