Altogether this series is the most important contribution to mathematical literature in the last decade. H.B.Newson. Sophus Lie, of whose latest book Prof. Newson writes a notice in this issue, is a professor in the University of Leipzig. Prof. Newson attended his lectures while in Leipzig. He is a Norwegian by birth and speaks German with difficulty. He is a large, heavy built man, with light hair and blue eyes, and is a great favorite with his students. He becomes easily confused. Prof. Newson relates that on one occasion during his stay in Leipzig the king of Saxony and suite attended one of Lie's lectures. Lie came in in full dress, mounted his platform and fired off his lecture at an opposite corner of the ceiling, without once looking at his auditors; and the royal audience left the room not a whistle for the learned discourse. The State Oratorical Contest A meeting of the executive committee of the Kansas Intercollegiate Oratorical association was held in Topeka last Saturday for the purpose of making final preparations for the contest to be held in that city February 17th. Acting on the request of the association the executive committee has decided to prohibit the use of horns, bells, etc., in the building. This is certainly a much needed step in the right direction. Tin horns may be allowable in the open air but in a hall they are simply unendurable. We are sure that this action of the executive committee will receive the hearty approval of every student of K. S. U. and no doubt will receive the same commendation from the other colleges of the state. Sigma Xi. At the annual meeting of the Sigma Xi's the following were elected to membership: Associate Professor, A. W. Shepard to graduate membership, and J. E. Curry, E. C. Case, H. C. Riggs, H. R Linyille, Frank Ringer and Josie Wilson to undergraduate membership. A committee on invitation was then appointed, - Mr. Henry Van Brunt of Kansas City visited Lawrence recently upon the invitation of the University regents to talk over the proposed library building to be erected with the Spooner fund, Mr. Van Brunt has designed several library buildings for eastern colleges, and left with the regents a collection of plans which may prove quite valuable to them if they are properly utilized. It is desirable of course that the contemplated edifice shall be convenient and well arranged, as well as tasteful and imposing. Something more is required than a structure that will keep in books and keep out rain —Kansas City Star. The [second number of the Kansas edition of the Music Review is out. The list of subscribers now covers about twenty musical centres, and all the teachers interest themselves in making known the value of the paper to their students.
