ATHLETICS.
The receipts from the indoor meet at Kansas City last Friday was $603. This will nearly pay all the expenses, leaving a very small deficit if any. Manager Plank managed the Kansas end of the contest in an able manner.
K's were awarded to Finch, Bailey, Butler and Morrow for the work on the indoor track team.
The athletic Board authorized an intercollegiate meet and Manager Plank is arranging for several different contests.
The University is arranging for a high school day here. Invitations will be sent out to all the largest high schools of the state and a regular high school track meet will be arranged. Several of the high schools have already expressed their willingness to participate. Gold and silver medals will be awarded for first and second prizes and ribbons for third prizes. This meet will be arranged by the University directly and not by the athletic board.
The base ball team applicants were able to get on the field Tuesday and Wednesday and had good practices. Two teams were picked and a good grade of base ball was played by both teams. Capt. Sexton has not picked his men yet and while some men have the positions pretty securely there are several others still on the anxious seat. The first game will be with Haskell on April 2nd at Haskell.
LECTURES IN MONEY AND BANKING
Verne Pierson has been awarded a "K" for excellence in tennis.
Prof. Cone is introducing a new departure in his Money and Banking course this term. A number of lectures will be delivered before the class by business men who are engaged in practical banking business. The first lecture will be given by Mr. Thornton Cooke on "The Function of the Bank in the Distribution of Products." Mr. Cooke graduated from K. U. in 1893 and now has a position with the Fidelity Trust Co. at Kansas City.
The University is making arrangements for a high school day about the last Friday in April or the first in May. Invitations will be issued to all students of accredited high schools to visit the University in a body or by representatives on this day.
HIGH SCHOOL DAY.
In the afternoon an interscholastic field meet will be held on McCook field in which the high school athletes will compete for prizes.
They will be entertained by the University, visiting the various departments and be given a good idea of the character of the work done by the State University.
SOME OF THE ARTS COURSES WILL BE AUTERED TO MEET DEMANDS FOR PREPARATION IN SPECIAL TIMES OF WORK
NEW COURSE ARRANGEMENTS.
The K. U. faculty has finally decided upon the status of the new Business and Domestic Science courses which are to be offered at the University next year. In the first place there will be no special courses, as such, in these studies. The idea of the faculty is to so arrange the present arts courses as to give more specific instruction for the benefit of men who are fitting themselves for various lines of business, as newspaper work, banking and insurance; and for the girls domestic science.
There will be some slight changes in established courses to meet these requirements and the required studies will be grouped to facilitate the special preparation for any one of these lines of study. In the studies which look toward fitting the student for special business departures, there will be introduced lectures by practical business men actually engaged in these lines of work.
The idea of introducing the commercial phase into the regular academic work of universities is one that is fast growing and in a number of eastern institutions it has passed the stage of experiment and is giving universal satisfaction.
GIRL'S SCHOLARSHIP
The scholarship is maintained by the mother of Miss Howland whose purpose it is to perpetuate the memory of her daughter by assisting worthy and aspiring young ladies to finish their University education who might otherwise not be enabled to do so. The scholarship is a gift and the only condition attached to it is that the one holding it shall be a young lady of good scholarship and shall be at least a junior in the School of Arts. Applications for the scholarship should be handed to Chancellor Strong before May the first.
The Marcella Howland scholarship, which yields sixty dollars a year was established about five years ago in memory of Marcella Howland, a graduate of the class of '90, a young woman of high scholarship and character, who had just entered upon her life's work when she died.
COLLEGE MAN'S CLUB.
A number of college men in Kansas City have formed an association called "The College Man's Club of Kansas City." The purpose is to draw all young men together for business and social cooperation. Young men of good standing from any college or university are considered elegible to membership. A number of schools, both eastern and western, are represented, and the membership is rapidly increasing. K.U.is well represented.
T. A. McNEAL LECTURES.
The Mail and Breeze Man Tells the Students of Journalism Something About the Practical and Theoretical Sides of Newspaper Work.
T. A. McNeal lectured to the Class in Journalism Friday morning upon "Experience vs. Theory in running a Newspaper." Mr. McNeal remarked that no hard and tast rule could be laid down in running a newspaper; that the methods of carrying on a successful newspaper enterprise varied with the locality, the character of the readers and the purpose of the publication. He related some of his personal experience in running a newspaper, "The primary object of a newspaper," said Mr McNeal, "should be to please its readers. To do this a paper must study the desires of its constituency."
"A good newspaper man must have courage, indefatigable industry, quick perception and understanding of human nature, and lastly it is absolutely necessary that he have good 'horse sense'—without the latter he will certainly fail. He must have an abiding love for his business; the newspaper must be his child, part of his being; it must fill his thoughts by day, his dreams by night; he must be wrapped up in it.
Mr. McNeal spoke of the two departments of the newspaper; the business and the news end; and said that it was very rarely that a man was found proficient in both departments. He spoke of a newspaper character for good or for bad and the danger attending the getting of a reputation for unreliability.
Mr. McNeal's lecture was interspersed with humorous personal experiences and anecdotes and was thoroughly enjoyed from beginning to end.
ROSEMARY."
K. U. Dramatic Club Presented Their Play With Great Credit.
Rosemary, by the University Dramatic Club, was given at Bowersock Opera House Thursday night and met with the unqualified success which the students' efforts have deserved.
It was one of the most difficult productions which the Club has attempted and the players are to be congratulated upon their good work All of the old 'stars' more than met the expectations of their friends and the new players in the cast went thro' their parts in a very creditable manner. Prot. Frazier deserves great credit for the success of the Dramatic Club's production.
Thirteen students were elected into Phi Beta Kappa at the university of Minnesota last week and twenty-six into Sigma Xi.

INTERCOLLEGIATE NEWS.
The sophomores at the university of Minnesota mining school have struck. They did not strike for higher wages or shorter hours, but simply because three of their number were suspended by the faculty. It has been a custom in this mining school to celebrate the birthdays, high quiz marks et cetera, of the members by a noisy and often rough demonstration. The latest feat was to subject a new man to a proper installation. The faculty rose to the occasion and suspended the ring leaders of the installation committee, whereupon the whole class has refused to go back to work. There is a rumor that the whole mining school will follow the second year men.
Eight students were elected into the Phi Beta Kappa at the university of Chicago last week.
John Hopkins has one professor for every four students, Yale and Wesleyan one for every nine and Columbia, Harvard and Pennsylvania one for every ten.
There is a rumor abroad that Theta Nu Epsilon is to be revived at Nebraska.
Prof. Swezey of the university of Nebraska has just published a new book entitled "Practical Exercises in Astronomy."
