HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS HERE.
MEN FROM ALL OVER THE STATE
ATTEND THE CONFERENCE.
The First Annual Conference of Kansas School Superintendents and Principals is being held at K. U. yesterday and today. In addition to regular business sessions the visitors are seeing the working methods and equipments of K. U.
The number in attendance far exceeds that expected for the first session.
Leading high school teachers from this and other states are reading papers before this meeting, and the benefit is considered great enough to institute the conference as a regular annual affair.
RESULTS OF THE PROM.
The usual rough and tumble preliminaries were indulged in during the morning between the the freshman and juniors on the one hand and the sophomores on the other. About noon the sophomores endeavored to gain entrance to the hall with the intention of destroying the decorations, but the usual citizen who hat his peace of mind easily disturbed was on hand and turned in a police call. An officer arrested seven of the attacking sophomores and took them down to the city hall for a rest after their laborious efforts.
Hizzoner, the police judge, realizing the financial needs of Rip Van Winkle Lawrence, gave the boys $10.50 per, altho' the accused like the gentlemen they are had plead guilty and the city attorney had agreed with Dean Green, the boys' attorney, that $1 and cost was a sufficient fine.
The students feel that the city authorities gave them the short end of the deal, inasmuch as the usual rounder after a night of hilarity and disturbance to everybody's peace, is usually assessed a fine of only one dollar. As a matter of fact no one appeared against the boys at the trial and the only people disturbed were the boys themselves.

DEBATE.
MISSOURI DEFEATED KANSAS I
THE ANNUAL DRAFT
THE ANNUAL DEBATE
April ninth, the seventh annual debate between Missouri and Kansas occurred in Lawrence on the question, Resolved, that the 15th amendment to the constitution has not been justified. Kansas represented by Geo. T. Guernsey, G. A. Neely and W. H. Elder defended the negative. T. J. Otis, W. H. Walker and J. A. Potter represented the Tigers.
The debate as a whole was lively and characterized by much spirit and enthusiasm. The Missouri men showed good team work and probably won on that account. Our men showed a broader knowledge of the question and this would undoubtedly have won the debate if it had not been for some blunders in rebuttal. The decision of the judges was two to one in favor of Missouri.

SPECIMENS FOR CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT.
Through the courtesy of the National Lead Co., of St. Louis, samples illustrating the manufacture of "white lead" have been secured for the chemistry museum. These samples form a complete set and include specimens of the earthen pots in which the corrosion is carried on: lead "buckles" cast ready for corrosion; the corroding "buckles" completely converted into white lead; the same material crushed; lead carbonate after being ground and washed; dry white lead finished from the pans; mixed tan bark which is used in the process; white lead ground in oil; and Babbitt metal and solder.
A novel sort of sport was indulged in by Missouri University students recently. They held a sort of Hobo convention several hundred dressed in the conventional full dress costume of the "Weary Willie," held up an accommodation train at a small town near Columbia and in true Coxey army style rode into the college town. After this they held a convention and heard speeches delivered in the customary freight car parlance. It is reported that "Tramp, Trump, Tramp, the Boys are Marching" was adopted as the official hymn of the organization.

CLASS BASE BALL.
The Sophomore - Freshman game played on McCook field today resulted in a victory for the sophomores by a score of 11 to 9
sophomores by a score of 11 to 9 The game was up to the usual class game standard and was characterise 1 by numerous errors The sophomore team started the game by running in seven scores the first inning, and the lead proved too great for the young- stars to overcome.
The sophomores last year when freshmen, won the class base ball championship and from present indications it seems quite possible that they are going to repeat the story this spring.
WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY.
Some Facts Regarding St. Louis' Leading Educational Institution.
One of the new institutions which K. U. enters into athletic relations with this year for the first time is Washington University. There has been a considerable desire among many students to know something of our new comrade in sports.
Washington University was started Feb. 22, 1853, under the name of Eliot Seminary. In deference to the wishes of Rev. Wm. G. Eliot of St. Louis for whom it was named, the institution's name was changed to the one it now bears.
The university courses embrace Law, Engineering, Fine Arts, Dental, Medical, Botany and Liberal Arts. In '94 the university purchased a tract of 113 acres of land. By the help of the citizens of St. Louis, ten buildings have been already built upon the new campus, but they have not yet been occupied by the school as the St. Louis Purchase Exposition Company has rented the site for the Fair buildings.
After the exposition is over the permanent buildings will be given to the university. The university owns the St. Louis freight terminal which pays them a handsome income annually. With the good endowment possessed by this institution and the keen interest taken in its welfare by the citizens of St. Louis, it seems probable that Washington University will be found before long in the front ranks of our Western educational institutions.
