THE CHANCELLOR strongly advocated the forming of University County Clubs last year and while a few were formed, the number should have been much larger. The wonderful increase in attendance at the University of Illinois from 800 eight years ago to 4,000 at the present time demonstrates with what rapidity a University may grow. While the state of Illinois is far superior to Kansas in resources and population, yet Kansas is gaining rapidly. The rich fields of oil and gas in the southeastern part of the state are in themselves the means by which great quantities of money and large numbers of people are drawn into the state. Other new industries are in the embryo and only await development. The sunflower state is gaining more and more each year, the respect of the older states. The eastern people are slowly ceasing to think of Kansas as a "God-forsaken" country.
The prospects for the growth of the University of Kansas were never brighter. The State University is a part of the state and of necessity grows as the state grows. The College is richly endowed by nature. No institution in the United States commands a more inspiring view nor can boast of a finer situation; nor can one wish for a more energetic head than its present one. All else that is needed is the hearty co-operation of the students and the people of the state. One means, perhaps one of the best means, through which the desired results may be obtained is the county club. Every alumnus, without doubt, uses his influence for his alma mater, but there is strength in unity and if the alumni and the under graduates of each county all work together the result must be infinitely greater than when each works alone.
The county which has an organization of University students is likely to be proud of that very fact and consequently it is interested more vitally in its students and will support them in every undertaking. Through these clubs, the advantages of the University are brought to the notice of many who would otherwise not have thought of attending school here. In cases where the organization supports a scholarship, the influence is especially marked. From a social standpoint, the clubs are of
great value to the members themselves. The united and steady efforts of an enthusiastic body of students cannot but add to the strength of the University and will certainly increase its enrollment.
Shall we not have fifty of these County clubs before school closes this year?
OUR GREAT ART EXHIBITIONS.
The new Museum of Natural History is turned into a Fine Arts Gallery, where Prof. Griffith has hung twenty oil paintings and a hundred etchings. The paintings are some of the best owned by the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburg, Pa., whose trustees have lent them to the University for a month. They are valued at $75,000 and cost the University $600 for treight and insurance on them. They are by some of the best French, American, Scotch and Italian painters. We have never before had anything like them in Lawrence, and we must all, art students or just ordinary lovers of the beautiful, take advantage of our opportunity, and get as much pleasure and profit from them as we can.
Prof. Marvin's etchings also will be a great treat, the some of them have been seen before. There is no better way to study or enjoy etchings than in the works of the great masters, Whistler and Seymour Haden. Of the former the collection contains twenty-four, and of the latter twenty-two. It contains examples also of Rembrandt, Rajon, Meryon, Parrish and others
Mrs. Woodward's gallery of paintings will also be open every Wednesday and Friday, and everybody should see there the great Mesdag, and the fine examples of Inness, Wyant, Murphy and others.
Prof. Griffith will be in the galleries at appointed times to give peripatetic explanatory lectures on the pictures.
MRS. WEIL'S LECTURE.
Mrs. Helen K. Weil of Washington gave a Browning reading in the Unitarian church on Monday evening. The opportunity to hear Browning read well occurs rarely, and the entertainment was well attended. Mrs. Weil read from Pippa Passes, omitting the third scene and cutting some of the others. Her interpretation is intelligent and sympathetic. Unfortunately she was suffering from a cold, and was very hoarse. This interfered somewhat with her rendering of Pippa's monologues and the lyrics, but did not affect the excellence of her work in other portions. Her reading of the first scene and the last one was especially good.
At Brown University a new testing machine has been installed in the engineering laboratory. It registers a capacity of 400,000 pounds, and is designed to test specimens in tension and compression up to ten feet in length, and in cross bending (beams) up to twenty feet span.

The faculty of the University of Chicago are endeavoring to inaugurate a system under which there will be no paid admissions to contests in which the University athletes compete. As the co-operation of all the western colleges will be necessary to carry out this radical departure, steps have already been taken to arrange conferences with the Universities of Wisconsin and Michigan. The plan will require the establishment of an endowment fund for physical culture and athletics and the trustees of the Chicago institution have already taken preliminary steps looking to this end.
