DR. FIFIELD ADDRESSES STUDENTS
The Rev. Dr. Fifield of the First Congregational church of Kansas City made a short talk to the University students at chapel exercises Friday morning. His topic was the Ideal Life and he pictured graphically the beauty and advantages of living as close to the ideal as possible. He resolved the ideal life into three simple elements, first the toiler, second friendship or love, third, faith. "These three," said he, "represent the three dimensions of a regular symmetrical life, even as the three dimensions, height, breadth and thickness regulate the shape of a solid cube."
PHI BETA KAPPA ELECTION
The annual Phi Beta Kappa election was held last Monday, the following members of the senior class being elected: Lucy Abel, Louise Alder, Arthur H. Basye, Jessie Bennett, Frank E. Burford, Kate Clark, E. S. Cowdrick, Caryl Dodds, Walter Easton, Florence Forrest, Mary L. Johnson, Geo. W. M. Nutting, Roxana Oldroyd, Eleanor Pattison, Chas. Harker Rhodes, Hazel Smith, Geo. Willis, J. B. Wilson, Bessie Wood.
The Phi Beta Kappa Society was organized at the College of William and Mary in 1776. It was a secret organization until the anti-Masonic movement in 1831, when the feeling against all secret societies was so strong that the Harvard Society abandoned the oath of secrecy; this example was soon followed by the other chapters. John Quincy Adams and Judge Story, both members of the society, were instrumental in having the secret organization abandoned. The society, however, continued,having for its object the promotion of scholarship and friendship among students and graduates of American colleges. Among the early chapters established were Yale 1780, Harvard 1781, Dartmouth 1787. The present chapter roll numbers fifty three.
Alpha Chapter of Kansas was organized April 1890,the charter being granted on petition of the members resident as members of the faculty. The charter members still resident are Dr. Snow, Prof. Blake and Dr. Wilcox.
The election to the Phi Beta Kappa Society is purely honorary in its character, and the number elected is restricted to one-fourth of the graduating class. Election to Phi Beta Kappa is the greatest honor that is here conferred, and those elected are to be congratulated upon this recognition of their ability.
E. T. COLTON'S ADDRESS.
Mr. E. T. Colton addressed a large audience of university men last night at the M. E. church upon "The University Man's First Law." Mr. Colton is a fine speaker and every one felt highly pleased at having the opportunity to listen to him.
No one who heard him went away without carrying some good thought with him.
Mr. Colton will speak again Sunday to university men at the Congregational church at 3 p. m. on the subject: "The Unalterable Rule of Healthy Life."
SOCIETY.
The local chapter of Phi Kappa Psi celebrated the fifty-second anniversary of the founding of the fraternity with a dinner at the chapter house Friday night. Dean F. A. Marvin, a charter member of this chapter, acted as toastmaster and all the Phi Psis of the faculty were present. Among the Phi Psis from out of town who were in the city for the banquet were Frank J. Merrill, Paola; J. A. Peters, Joe Dyer and Herbert Findlay of Kansas City.
The last of the large spring parties to be given before Lent occurred last Monday evening when the young men of Sigma Alpha Epsilon gave their first Anniversary Ball. The decorations were unique and beautiful—electric lights and southern smilax being used in abundance. Ices and punch were served throughout the evening and during the intermission a delicious supper was served in the balcony. Many out of town guests among whom were several alumni members added to the pleasure of the evening.
The Betas gave another of their very pleasant and informal parties at their chapter house last Saturday evening.
Last night the girls of the junior class followed the example of the other classes and gave a leap year dance in I. O. O. F. hall. About forty couple were present.
Kappa Alpha Theta entertained Friday evening at the home of the Misses Doubleday. Guests for ten tables spent the evening in playing whist.
The Phi Gams entertained at their home Tuesday evening. Dancing and cards were the evening's diversions.

PHARMACY ALUMNI NOTES
Miss Ina Stilson, '03, is manager of a suburban drug store for the St. Joseph Drug Co. Although it is the smallest one of the company's stores, it has paid the largest profit during the past year, in proportion to the money invested.
Verne Mitchell, '03, traveling salesman for C. D. Smith Drug Co., with headquarters at Salina, is well pleased with his position. Verne says he is getting his share of the drug business in his territory.
J. A. Searcy, '03, has again skipped without giving us thirty days' notice. Two months ago we heard that he was with W.E. Meyer of Atchison, now he is at Independence, Kansas, with whom we do not know.
About thirty per cent of the members have replied to the circular letter sent out January 1 Now we are well aware of just how busy pharmacists are, and doubtless many have forgotten this matter. To those we will say to look out for another circular shortly.
ATHLETICS
Continued from page 1.
At a meeting of the athletic board of the University held Monday it was voted that the board assume control of all athletic teams engaging with teams outside of Lawrence.
This action is simply a preventative on teams going out from the school and being mistaken for 'Varsity teams, and again preventing men from going out on trips, that are behind in their work.
A team composed of members of the law school had arranged a series of games and hence the action of the board requiring all class schedules to be passed on by the board.
