We are glad to receive and to publish the letter from Prof. Marsh which appears in this issue and hope that it will lead others to an expression of opinion on this important subject. Careful and thorough discussion cannot but be of benefit, and will certainly bring about a proper understanding between faculty and students.
Prof. Marsh has considered the question in a fair and candid way and has adopted a plan which certainly has its merits. It may be however, that others in the faculty will not agree with him, if so, we extend to them an invitation to enter the discussion.
Convention Proceedings.
The fourth annual convention of delegates to the Inter-Collegiate Association was held last Saturday at 9 o'clock in the parlors of the Hamlin House at Ottawa. Washburn was represented by Buckland and Adams; Baker, by Gault and Anderson; Ottawa, by Carson and Cowill; Emporia Normal, by Crooks and Myers, College of Emporia by Camp; the State University by Dick and Dunn.
Several important changes were made in the constitution, among which were making delivery count one-half in the markings of the judges instead of one-third as heretofore, requiring judges to keep duplicates of their markings, and incorporating in the constitution a clause which gives $30 for first prize and $20 for the second in the State contest.
This latter rule has been followed before only as a matter of precedent
Baker University at Baldwin City was selected as the place of the next State contest to be held on the second Friday in February, 1888. The following officers were elected for the coming year; President, F. A. Wright, of Ottawa; vice-president, W.E. Higgins, of the State University; secretary and treasurer, Platt, of Washburn. Otis Holmes and Fred A. Craise were elected second and third delegates to the InterState Convention at Bloomington, Illinois next May. After a vote of thanks to the Ottawa association for their attention and courtesy, the convention adjourned sine die.
A Challenge.
In the United States there is a game which, on account of its great popularity, is called the "national game"—base ball. The game is a very healthful as well as exciting one. Washburn has material for the finest base ball club in the State, which will be immediately put in good fighting trim for the season. The University having been "downed" at oratory, could do no better than to turn her attention to the game of ball, send in her little challenge and get "done up." —Washburn Items in State Journal.
Read this, then act. Here is the gauntlet not merely thrown down before us, but cast right into our faces. In view of such a challenge, such a boastful insinuation we ought to give Washburn a sound drubbing. Not merely with words but in actual
contest. At any rate our base ball players ought to organize as soon as possible. Heretofore Washburn has beaten us by the merest accident, or because some place in the nine was held by a weak man. This ought not to happen again. There are certainly enough good players here to form a most excellent nine—one which with training could easily beat any college club in the State. But it is not sufficient merely to organize and put a nine in the field. Practice, great practice is necessary.
"Downed" at oratory, this time perhaps, but yet we are not quite prepared to be insulted by a little whistet like Washburn.
We think that our nine will be ready for a little "blood" about the first of May.
The senate passed the University appropriation bill Wednesday night. The bill provides that the salary of the professor of Natural History shall be $2,500 instead of $2,000 as heretofore. The salaries of eight professors remain unchanged. The librarian will receive $600 per annum. The University will hereafter have a preceptress at a salary of $1,200, $2,000 for the library was asked, but only $1,000 received. $900 was appropriated for the clerk's salary. Money was also appropriated to remove the engine house, put in water pipes, and repair the foundations of the main building.
