Y. M. C. A. CONCERT.
The concert given last night under the auspices of the University Y. M. C. A. was attended by a large audience. Those present considered the program a rare treat.
Misses Bowersock, Boright and Greissinger opened the program with a very appropriate number: (a) andante, (b) allegro by Weber. They were well received as usual.
Mr. Steele sang the Toreador's song with the dramatic fire that this solo requires. He responded with an encore, "Love is a Bubble."
Mr. Steele is director of the Schubert Club of Kansas City. The singers are all pupils of Mr. Steele. They certainly showed the results of careful and proper methods of training.
Miss Downing displayed the flexibility of her voice in her rendition of the difficult selection from the Huguenots. As an encore she sang "Three Little Chestnuts," which was very pleasing.
The aria from the "Damnation of Faust" is very passionate and difficult to interpret. Miss Clark's rendition was splendid.
Mr. Burress who is a senior in the University, has been studying with Mr. Steele during the past year. This was his first appearance before a Lawrence audience since he began studying. The improvement of his singing was very marked.
Miss MacDonald's work in accompanying deserves special mention. She showed ability.
Mr. Van Bergen, the young baritone, has a voice of remarkable resonance and power. He responded to a double encore.
The quartette numbers were very heavy, especially the one from the opera Rigoletto which is full of dramatic feeling.

NEWS FROM SOUTH AMERICA
The University expedition to South America under direction of Mr. Handel T. Martin has been heard from again and is prospering. Letters written on Christmas day say that the expedition is still at Bahia Blanca, but expects to proceed by government steamer to Gallegos, Santa Cruz, in a few days. Much help and many courtesies have been received from Dr. Moreno, director of the La Plata Museum. The expedition also received unexpected and very acceptable assistance from one of the important journals of South America at Buenos Ayres. The proprietor has put at the service of the expedition tour horses and equipment which he ordered from his Estancia. Newspaper men are enterprising in South America as elsewhere.
The members of the expedition are well and Mr. Martin expects to send back valuable material for the University.
ALPHA TAU PARTY.
Alpha Tau Omega held its annual spring party February 5th and a large number of friends enjoyed the pleasures of the evening. A decorative scheme carried out in green and white made Everett hall look especially attractive. Ropes of evergreen were carried from the ceiling to the four corners of the room, while large white Doric pillars, arched with evergreen and profusely studded with electric lights, formed very pretty cozy corners.
Punch was served throughout the evening and during the intermission a course supper was served in the balcony.
The party was a most enjoyable affair and the evening will be long remembered.
HARPER'S IDEAL PROFESSOR?
The qualification as for the ideal college professor, as outlined by President Harper in a lecture at the University of Chicago last week, on "the faculty of a college; are:
3. He should mix with his class students outside the class room.
1. He should be married.
1. He should be a church member.
4. He should have a doctor's degree.
6. He should be in sympathy with the public and take an active interest in public affairs.
"The college professor who is married," said President Harper, "will do three times as much good in his position as one who is single. And if he has three or four children he will be better off for he will be a stronger man."
5. He should be willing to work hard eleven months in the year.

At the Baptist church Sunday Rev. J. P. Coffman, assistant pastor, will preach morning and evening. The morning worship will be especially evangelistic. The meetings of the past week were very well attended and considerable interest shown, and it is hoped that the membership and congregation will be still better represented.
Cornell has finally decided to give up the attempt of founding an honor system. The students were asked to sign two condition one of which was a promise neither to give nor receive help, and the other to report any other student found guilty of breaking these rules. Almost all the students signed the first, but very few the second. Students found guilty were to be reported first to a student committee and this committee to report to the faculty. The fact that so many students refused to sign the second agreement is the reason for abandoning the scheme. Hereafter there is to be a space between every two persons trying an examination, and an instructor will always be present. The experiment has been watched closely by different colleges throughout the country and by many its rejection will be received with regret.

MISS JUNO SHANE.
The building and grounds committee of the board of regents at the University of California has nearly consummated plans for an immense amphitheater somewhat on the plan of the new Harvard Stadium. Architect John Galen Howard, an alumnus of the institution, has been drawing up working plans for an athletic field that will be second to none in the country. The site is rather uneven necessitating excavating and refilling costing $40,000. Tha amphitheatre will include a base ball diamond and a cinder running track besides the foot ball field. Temporary wooden bleachers and later on, concrete seats, will be put in place. It is thought that some of the old buildings will be torn down to make room for the new field.

During the engagement of the "Uncle Josh Spruceby" company at Bowersock's Opera House for Monday night, Feb. 8, commencing at 8:15, a big street parade will be given at noon, and press agent Heckman promises this will be something new and unique. The company carries a big band, dressed in the "garb" of the rustic and the other in military costume. During the parade the band gives a splendid concert which attracts much attention and generally draws a crowd that reminds you of a Barnum & Bailey Circus day.
