Mgr., Lawrence, KAn THE UNIVERSITY of Kansas Glee Club, under the direction of Prof. Hubach, made its first public appearance in chapel Friday morning. The result was most successful. Their selections were well made and decidedly well sung; but they made their mistakes. Such a glee club has no right to even attempt to be modest. If they had remained on the rostrum, after the first number, instead of trying to retire, they might have had time to sing us something more about those interesting flies. The club need have no doubt about preparing three or four, or five, or six encores. OUR FRESHMEN are becoming somewhat obstreperous. They are forming the bad habit of expressing their enthusiasm at the wrong time. This was very forcebly illustrated during the chapel exercises last Friday. After the glee club had rendered two most delightful numbers, Prof. Carruth attempted to say something to the students. With no other thought in mind than that the music of the glee club was entirely too good, and too much appreciated to stop so soon, the students, the freshmen particularly, insisted on trying to call them back. The students realized that Prof. Carruth was trying to speak but they wanted some more of that good music. When Prof. Carruth could make himself heard, he kindly announced, much to the surprise and the indignation of the students, that it was not he whom the students were insulting, but Dr. Banker whom he was trying to introduce. His words cast a most depressing influence over the whole audience, and were absolutely insulting to the students, most of whom did not even know that Dr. Banker was to speak to them. Surely it is no reproach on Dr. Banker that the students wanted another song. He probably would have enjoyed one himself. Prof. Carruth simply misunderstood the students. The freshmen are not the only ones who make mistakes. The whole affair would never have happened had the person who arranged the morning's program had a little forethought. Dr. Banker should have appeared first and then the glee club. THE PLEASING MUSIC of the glee club suggests that we might have some very fine music in chapel Friday mornings. If he students attend chapel regularly four days in the week, they have the right to look forward to an interesting program every Friday. We have the boy's glee club, the girl's glee club, the orchestra, Prof. Skilton, Prof. Hubach, Miss Bowersock, Miss Maude Morrison, Roy Winton and many other fine musicians, whom the students would always enjoy. The students all know that the sea of upturned faces which beats and breaks on the banks of the rostrum is a pleasing and most imposing sight: we realize as well as anyone that we are modern Appolos and Venues, we understand that the University of Kansas is the best university in the West and that we are the most fortunate people on earth; we know that Kansas is the only state on the map—we learn that in the ward school. We are educated. We know that man's being is a compound, complex affair composed of matter and spirit. We know that we should be well rounded out—that our souls should be trained as well as our bodies. We know that we like music too—anything from grand opera to rag time—anything that even sounds like music. And then what can possibly awaken a man's soul like a piece of good, or even a piece of bad music. Give us music! WHILE THERE is no doubt in our minds that we were right in severing athletic relations with Nebraska, it is gratifying to know that our sister university, Missouri, appreciates the stand we have taken. We reprint with a great deal of pleasure the following article taken from the M. S. U. Independent: "When Kansas decided to have no more athletic relations with the University of Nebraska we believe that the cause of pure athletics in this section of the country was greatly benefitted. Nebraska has a reputation all over the West for professionalism in athletics. The official student publication, the Daily Nebraskan, admitted that the foot ball team was permeated with professionalism. In the last controversy between Kansas and Nebraska, we have but little doubt that Kansas was in the right simply from our knowledge of conditions at the two schools. Kansas is striving toward athletic regulation, while Nebraska seems to be sticking to professionalism. Both Missouri and Kansas have ceased all athletic relations with Nebraska, so there must be something wrong for schools never take such a step without good cause." The Yale French Club will this year present Moliere's "Le medicine molgre lin" on December 2. The costumes are reproduced from drawings made of those used in the last production of the piece at the comedie Francaise in Paris. The proceeds of the play are devoted to a public lectureship fund to secure noted Frenchmen to lecture on questions of literary and educational interest. INTER COLLEGIATE NEWS. An association composed of faculty members and students has completed plans to produce a monthly literary magazine at the University of Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Lit will appear early in December. The faculty members are stockholders in the publishing association. A student board of editors will have charge of the literary management of the publication. The magazine is to be a monthly, and justifies its existence as affording "an outlet for the expression of such literary ability as may exist among the students." The football association at Yale has cleared $50,000 from this season's games. A memorial will be erected at Purdue University to preserve the memory of the Purdue foot ball men killed in the Big Four railroad wreck at Indianapolis. Nearly all those killed in the wreck were athletes, and a gymnasium has been suggested by the citizens of Lafayette. Gov. Durbin has started a subscription, heading the list of donors. The citizens of Lafayette are willing contributors to the fund, and many have already signed their names. The governor has requested all who purchased tickets for the game; ask for no refund, and the amount the athletic association would realize in this way would be nearly $6,000. The management of the University of Wisconsin foot bad team has given out the total receipts of the Minnesota-Michigan game at $30,993.50. This money will be evenly divided between the Athletic Associations of the two universities, after all the expenses of the game have been paid. The gross receipts from the Wisconsin-Michigan game were $13,000. The Ohio State University has registered 1,688 students. An epidemic of typhoid fever has broken out at two eastern colleges, Brown and Williams. Ninetetn students are affected. Prizes amounting to $2,555 have been offered by the College Essay Publishing Company of Boston, Mass., to be competed for by students of any college in the United States. The student will be allowed to write on any of the following subjects; (1) Literature—including essays and history—papers on psychology, on sociology and on scientific subjects; (2) Poetry, (3) College incidents and anecdotes; (4) drawings; (5) papers that have won college prizes or have been printed in college periodicals. There will be five departments in the competition; Senior, Junior, Sophomore, Freshmen, and Post Graduate. In each of these five departments three prizes of $150 each will be awarded to the best papers in groupe one; five purses of $30 each to the best poems; and other prizes of lesser amount. A member of a freshman class will compete with freshmen ona Oberlin has been fortunate to receive as a gift one of the finest pipe organs in the world.
