If weather permits, a game of base ball will be played with the Haskell nine tomorrow afternoon at McCook field. A small admission fee will be charged.
Considerable interest has been aroused in base ball. Many of the candidates practice regularly, and McCook field prepares a lively appearance every afternoon.
The treasurer of the Athletic Board received a charter early this week from Secretary of State Osborn. The Board met Tuesday to consider the constitution and by-laws recommended by the old Board.
The Adelphian Quartette gave a very good concert Tuesday evening at the chapel for the Athletic Association. Only a small audience was present. Those who stayed away missed a fine entertainment. Such an affair should receive the patronage of the entire student body.
The charter of the Athletic Association was filed March 19th under the act entitled "An Act Concerning Private Corporations," the main provisions of which are:
The name of the corporation is "The Athletic Association of the University of Kansas."
The purposes for which this corporation is formed are to further and promote the physical education and hygienic training of matriculates and graduates of the University of Kansas, and to foster and supervise athletic sports and games, to-wit; base ball boating, football, tennis, track athletics and other innocent sports in connection with said institution. The business of the corporation shall
The corporation shall have perpetual succession by its corporate name.
The business of the corporation shall be transacted in the city of Lawrence.
There is no capital stock, nor are there any shares of stock.
The officers of the corporation shall be a President, a Vice president, a Secretary, a Treasurer, and a Board of Directors, not exceeding eighteen in number, and such other officers as the Association may, from time to time, prescribe. Names of directors chosen for the first year are: Garrett, May, Moody, Orr, Kutz, Mattheson, Williamson, Hogg, Edwards, Newson, Miss Whitman, Coleman
The time and manner of holding the elections, and the terms of office of the several officers may be prescribed by the Association.
The corporation shall have power to regulate the admission of members from matriculates or graduates of said University; their suspension or expulsion and the causes which justify such suspension or expulsion, and the manner of effecting the same; and the mode and maner in which the property of said corporation shall be divided, and appropriated in ease of dissolution of said corporation, or winding up of its affair; and any member expelled shall forfeit all right which he may have to any of its property, real or personal.
The old athletic board met Wednesday at 1 o'clock and transferred all of its property, money, apparatus, etc., to the new association as incorporated under the State laws.
Chancellor Snow's Visit in Colorado.
Chancellor Snow's Visit in Colorado. Chancellor Snow delivered a very interesting address last Wednesday at the dedication services of the Coburn Library building of Colorado College in Colorado Springs. Our Chancellor mentioned his first visit in that city, in June of 1876, on an expedition to collect natural history specimens. At that time, he stayed over night at a small hotel, and in the morning found some new specimens of horned lizard on the city streets. According to the Colorado Springs Gazette he continued to speak as follows:
"I represent the State University system of education; for, with all deference to President Harper, we have in Kansas

a system graded from the primary school to the University. Education is making great strides in Kansas. We are now erecting at our University a library building to cost $90,000. We have now 10? High schools and fifteen academies whose courses of study lead directly up to the University. We believe in co education in Kansas and some of our brightest students are women. On behalf of Kansas University and the State of Kansas I bring you greeting and congratulations."
The Chancellor also made an address on the occasion of the laying of the corner stone of the Deaf and Bind Institute at the same place where his words were listened to with great interest.

some Statistics Concerning Our Fresh-
Class
man Class.
Professor Bailey has taken some statistics regarding the birth and parentage of the Freshman class which may prove of interest to our readers. 58 per cent of the class of 97 were born in Kansas, and all but five members in the United States. The place of birth of the remaining 42 per cent is represented by 22 different States, territories, and countries.
Again, the ancestors of 43 per cent of the class have been Americans for three generations, and those of 72 per cent for two generations.
The composite character on the nationality of the Freshman students is further shown by analysis of those results. This analysis shows that of those having ancestors of foreign birth; 21 per cent are English; 15 per cent Irish; 17 per cent Scotch; 21 per cent German; and, if we include in the Germans other allied races such as the Scandinavians and Danes, the percentage is raised to 30; 6 per cent were French, and the remaining 11 per cent were scattering.
The lines of study in which the new degree of Ph. D. is offered at the University are as follows: Greek, Latin, French, German, English, Political Economy, Sociology, American and European History, Philosophy, Entomology, Paleontology, Mineralogy, Stratigraphical and Physical Geology, and Mathematics. This degree will not be given for scholarship alone, nor for the completion of a prescribed course, but the applicant must have done some independent work in his special course of study, and must also have written a thesis on some special subject which must

be a complete exposition of the subject. The addition of this course to our University curriculum will be the means of keeping our Kansas men from going further east to obtain such a course of study and will doubtless give some an opportunity for higher education and independent research who would otherwise never have a chance to obtain it.
A New Organization.
A Civil Engineering Society was organized last week by the students in the department of Civil Engineering. The following officers were chosen: President, H. II. Johnson; vice-president, J. A. Lahmer; secretary, H. II. Harris it is manifested in this new society that it promises to be a decided success. The meetings will be held each Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the engineering rooms.
