ROMAN WOMEN
Since the status of woman is now being so eagerly discussed, it will probably not be out of place to consider briefly the legal position of Roman women in the time of Justinian. —A little hindsight sometimes shampens one's foresight.
In the early days of Rome the wife was absolutely under the dominion of her husband. Her legal personality was merged in his. She had no power to acquire or hold property for herself. All her property, at marriage, passed to her husband. The power of the husband was arbitrary and despotic.
In course of time this exceeding strictness brought about a natural reaction. The pendulum swung to the extreme of liberality, such as it never reached before or since. The independence of husband and wife, as far as pertain to their legal rights, was almost absointe. On this point, I quote from W. C. Norey, a late writer on Roman law.
"As to the personal relation between husband and wife, the wife acquired the name, the rank, and the domicile of her husband. Otherwise they were entirely distinct as regards their domestic status. The husband had no power over the wife; and the wife had no claim to support from her husband, unless there been a special contract to that effect.
"With regard to the rights of the married woman to her own property, it may be said in general that they were unaffected by the marriage relation. She retained her previous property, and continued to hold it in her own name, and in full ownership. She had a right to whatever she acquired after marriage; and she had a right to dispose of her own property as she pleased, eather by gift, by sale, or by testament. Marriage in brief gave to the husband no claim to the property of the wife."
D. H. R.
Such was the position of Roman women in the later Roman law. The tendency of modern legislation is towards this Roman freedom, and may, in the distant future, possibly attain it. A careful study of the Roman law on this subject would probably be no detriment to the ordinary Kansas legislator.
Musin.
The Musin Concert Co. will be here May 6th, one week from Saturday night. This company scarcely needs comment, as it is well known to University students. Concerning Musin himself, it may be well to quote from the Chicago Tribune. "Musin has a brilliancy, an airiness, and a glitter, which are his own. He represented everything with his marvelous bowing and fingering as he cares sed the loving front of his living violin, and out from it a mass of music and sounds grew and rose, distinct and clear, now swelling and swaying, again falling like the cadence of summer breathings and dying away into melodious silence. At times you are overcome by his boldness, brilliancy and power, and then he embraces you with his sinking strains till you catch your breath and sigh."
Bowersock's Opera House presents for next Monday evening, "The Fire Patrol," a five act melodrama by James W. Harkins Jr., author of "The Midnight Alarm," which was seen here last season in "The Fire Patrol" are introduced a fire patrol wagon and what is said to be a correct representation of the interior of a gold stamp mill in Deadwood, with the ore crushers in full operation. The play has met with considerable success in New York City, where it was produced for three weeks early in the season. Reserved seats on sale Saturday morning at regular prices.
The plan now pursued in the Freshman botany class is somewhat different from that of preceding years. Instead of allowing each student to analyze flowers selected at random, the specimens are selected by the instructors; thus insuring the bringing out of certain morphological facts which otherwise might have been passed unnoticed.
Kansas University Quarterly.
The last number of Volume 1 of the Kansas University Quarterly will be issued next week. It will contain an article on Penology in Kansas by Professor Blackmar, and on Bibliography of Municipal Government by Professor Hodder. Volume 1, when bound will contain 196 pages of reading matter, 18 full page plates and various cuts in the text. The articles embrace original in investigations, by members of the University, in paleontology, mathematics, philology, sociology, history, chemistry, engineering, botany and entomology. The object of the Quarterly is to encourage original research in the University and to provide means for its publication.
The exchange list of the Quarterly is rapidly becoming a valuable one. Among the exchanges are: The American Geologist; Social Economist; Charities Review; Journal of Analytical and Applied Chemistry; California Illustrated Magazine; Mathematical Magazine of Washington; Journal of the Franklin Institute; American Microscopic Journal; Technology Quarterly; Botanical Gazette; Weekly Review, Pysche and other technical publications
In addition to these, there are received regularly the bulletins of numerous scientific societies, some of which are the Engineers' Club of Philadelphia; Mis ourl Botanical Gardens, St. Louis; Boston Society of Natural History; Cincinnati Society of Natural History; Wisconsin, Minnesota and Nebraska Academies of Sciences; American Museum of Natural History; Pittsburgh Academy of Science; Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology; Natural History Society of Glasgow, and several other foreign ones. These various publications and bulletins are placed in the University library.
It is expected that in a few years the value of the exchanges received will equal the cost of publishing the Quarterly and thus the University will have a self-sustaining, high grade periodical in which professors and students can make public the results of their investigations. As the Quarterly is placed in the libraries of the foremost educational institutions in America, and in many in Canada and Europe, the University is given a standing among other Universities, which could be obtained in no other way.

It was much harder on Matteson and Dumm to watch the game Saturday than it would have been to take part in it. Let every student attend the K, U.-Washburn game next Saturday.
The Yale nine defeated the Wesleyans last week 6 to 3.
The Missouri University second football eleven plays with the Fleet Military academy at Mexico, Saturday.
From a remark that was made by a Baker student on the ball grounds. Saturday, we would believe that the nine which pretended to play ball here was not the one with which we will have to play in the league game; that this team was sent up here to inspire our nine with the belief that they would have an easy time on May 22d. We have the material here for a winning nine (if it is only developed)
The Women's League.
The annual meeting of the Women's League of the University was held Saturday, April 15. The secretary's report showed progress in the work of the League during the year. During the first days of the fall term some of the members of the League were at the University ready to welcome and assist young women who came as strangers, introducing them to the officers of the University whom they needed to see, and showing a friendly interest in their welfare. Three receptions were given during the year, all of which were well attended. At these receptions short talks were given by Dr. Cunningham on Hygiene, by Miss Galloon on FrenchSchool Life, and by Mr. B. W. Woodward on cultivating a taste for art. For this last reception Mr. and Mrs. Woodward kindly opened their home and gallery, and the talk was given in the art gallery.
The officers chosen for the ensuing year were president, Mrs. Snow; vice president, Mrs. Wilcox; secretary, Mrs. Hopkins; treasurer, Mrs. Dyche; advisory committee, Miss Oliver, Miss Galloo, two representatives to be chosen from the senior class, two from the junior class, and two from the school of music, Mrs Sayre, Mrs. Hopkins, Mrs. Green and Mrs. Dunlap were asked to take special charge of the sick, and they request students to report cases of sickness
C. E. Hite, formerly with Professor Dyche, but now studying medicine in the University of Pennsylvania, is going across the continent this summer on a lecturing tour. He will lecture on Greenland, and will illustrate his lectures with stereoptic views. He obtained these views himself while on the Peary relief expedition.
