The Northwestern [Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association, comprising the Universities of Michigan, Northwestern, Wisconsin and Minnesota has disbanded, because the games could not be made financially successful.
A petition has been introduced in the Massachusetts legislature, asking for legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of football, and such "as will permit the slugging or roughness of such games when played between teams representing colleges or other educational institutions."
On Saturday, the annual convention of the American College Base Ball Association, a league composed of the base ball clubs of Amherst, Williams, and Dartmouth colleges, was held at Boston. Amherst was formerly awarded the pennant won last year. Each college will play six games and the season will begin May 8th.
College base ball teams are initiating professional clubs in making southern tours. The Yale base ball nine will play Johns Hopkins University at Baltimore, the universities of North Carolina and Virginia, and the United States Military Academy in a trip lasting from March 22d to 27th.
Hereafter at Harvard no one will be allowed to represent the University who has engaged for money in any athletic contest, or who has taught or engaged in any athletic sport as a means of livelihood. No one will be allowed to represent the University in any public contest unless he is, and intends to be throughout a college year, a bona fide member of the University, taking a full year's work. Only one regular player and five substitutes of Harvard's last year's baseball team, are eligible to play under the new rules. With the same purpose, a rule has lately been passed at Johns Hopkins University, requiring the captains of the various athletic teams to hand in a list of candidates. Unless each one is a bona fide student in good standing he will not be permitted to play.
The athletic committee of the University Athletic club, who were requested by various colleges to appoint a committee of practical football men to consider the reconstruction of the present football rules, have completed their duties. The advisory committee of the University of Pennsylvania yesterday notified George Adee, president of the University Athletic Club, that John C. Bell would be a satisfactory delegate to them and he has been appointed. This completes the committee of five as follows: Walter Camp, Yale; Alexander Moffatt, Princeton; Dr.W. A. Brooks, Harvard; Paul Dashiel, Lehigh and J. C. Bell, University of Pennsylvania.
Football has made its way even to the young ladies colleges. It was played at Wellesley this fall, but under rules so modified as to do away with all violence, the players even "begging pardon" when they jostled each other in attempts to get the ball. Other kinds of exercise are also very popular according to the Wellesley Magazine;
"The out-door athletics are now in full swing. Each Freshman is required to choose and engage in some particular sport. Tennis, basket ball, base ball, golf, and scientific pedestrianism, have all enthusiastic adherents. Basket ball seems to be the favorite, and every afternoon the campus is taken possession of by eighty shouting and excited players. Not only the Freshman, but all of the upper classes have gotten up basket ball teams. We now rival our brothers in the way of black eyes and injured limbs." "Plans are out for the new athletic field. It is to be one hundred yards long and to afford accommodations for running, jumping, base ball, cricket, golf and football. The site chosen is between Stone Hall and the lake, and work is to be begun on it this fall. The class of 97, with the energy of youth, have undertaken to raise 81,250 for this purpose before Christmas."

A Merited Compliment.
The kind of metal in Prof. Snow of Lawrence, was shown in his breasting the storm last night forty miles on a freight train in order to deliver his lecture on Evolution in this city. It was that kind of mottle pounding constantly agonist circumstances for twenty-seven years that built the State University of Kansas; it was that kind of mottle that made an exterminator of chinch bugs, and it is that kind of mottle that is constantly at work keeping the Professor ahead of his times. It was a very pleasant compliment to him that an audience of 850 people, including many of the best people of Kansas City, should wait in a hall an hour and a half while the lecturer was struggling through the snow drifts. The first of the series of lectures was a success, and this argues well for the entire course.—Kansas City Star.
It was not warm enough for the electrical seminary Monday, so no meeting was held.
Prof. Shepard was unable to meet his classes Tuesday morning.
ENGINEERING NOTES.

O. K. Williamson went home for a short visit Saturday. He was unable to return until Tuesday on account of the blockade.
Prof. Williston's Chapel Talk
He said that although Abraham Lincoln was very illiterate, still he was well educated. These two terms, illiterate and educated, although apparently different in meaning, may mean the same thing; because a man may be able to develop all of his faculties to the best advantage, without possessing much so-called "book learning."
Dr. Williston addressed the students assembled in chapel last Friday morning on the subject of "Book Learning."
It is evident that "book learning" is a mere filling up. The actual knowledge gained from books is not of so much importance as the training of our powers. While in the University, if we succeed in training our facilities so that we can use them, we accomplish our purpose.
There is considerable difference between the Eastern and the Western student. In the East the student goes to school because he is sent. In the West the majority of students come of their own accord, and for personal benefit. Students in the West are more attentive than those in the East. Occasionally we find an Eastern student who is more intelligent than the Western, but the uniform excellence of the student body is greater in the West. Good, thorough common sense is the object of a University education.
There is also great need of physical training. In this respect Kansas University has not been doing what she is capable of doing; but now steps have been taken by which every student can take regular physical training.
Washburg's Orator Flaggerized his Ora-
tion
Mr. Lord who won first place in the local contest at Washburn College, Topeka, will not represent that college in the State contest, February 23d. It seems that the Gamma Sigma Literary Society had discovered early last week that Mr. Lord had plagiarized his oration, but the matter was not at once made public.
In the interstate contest of 1886, Mr. Richards of Beloit, Wisconsin, took first place on an oration entitled, "Conservatism, a Progressive Principle." This oration opposed radicalism. Now, it seems, Mr. Lord read this oration in the files of the *Washburn Argo*, and no doubt, thinking it a very fair oration, committed the unpardonable offense of planning his own oration from this. Therefore he reversed the conclusion of this oration and slightly changing the construction called it, "Radicalism, a Progressive Principle." The faculty have decided that Mr. Lord is not guilty of intentional plagiarism, but that his oration was open to just criticism because of similarity of plan and of wording, and that therefore it is not advisable that Mr. Lord should represent the college in the State contest, but they refuse to expel him from school.
Miss Gertrude Dewey, the winner of the second place will therefore be Washburn's orator at Topeka, February 23d. Mr. Ferry Platt who took third place goes as first delegate and Mr. Charles Welch as second delegate. All these persons are members of the Washburn College Literary Society.
