DEC. 7, 1901 Last week a letter was received by the editor from a former member of the WFEKLY staff in which was much sympathy and encouragement. It is needless to say that the letter was very much appreciated. The WEEKLY this week prints a clipping from the Anthony Republican. This does not indicate that the WEEKLY approves of everything the article contains, but the item is copied merely to show how the cold, cruel world will misunderstand the efforts of a University professor to purify athletics. The whole country has been reading the presidents message. The first message of Mr. Roosevelt.In it he pays tribute to President McKinley and discusses to some length anarchy. It is the duty of every student to read this, for if he wished to be well informed the most important things to be known, are the questions with which our nation is struggling. Knowledge of one's country is a fine thing to possess. The new museum is progressing finely. It is now high enough to shut off a portion of the north west wind that delights in freezing students going to and from the library. It is said those leaving school noseless and carless on account of aforesaid wind, numbered about ninety-three. It is predicted that this year the number will be greatly diminished. We wish to thank those who chose the site for the museum, on their thoughtfulness and regard for students' nose and ears. --known until the ship bearing her remains brings with it further information. The voyage will occupy about four weeks, so that it may be somewhat over a month before Mr.Agnew arrives in Minneapolis. A thousand hearts are sorrowing for the happy, sunny little girl, who left joy and gladness wherever she went. One of the Professors is thinking seriously of distributing cards throughout the halls, on which is to be printed "If you must stop to talk, keep off the carpet." He is a large man and has difficulty in passing through the crowds that linger between hours to exchange ideas on possible weather conditions. The students are careless and if they would hereafter be thoughtful enough to stand near the walls it will allow the professor to pass, also save the expense of the cards. Mr. George O. Foster is entitled to at least an expression of praise for his successful management of foot ball. Last year he was elected general manager of athletics, a new office in our University, and has proven that this office was a much needed one. Heretofore, foot ball, base ball and basket ball have been directly under student management, to the detriment of the association's finances. Almost every year we have run behind. The season would close with treasury empty and oftentimes with business men holding notes against us. We do not mean to intimate that the student managers were dishonest, but their inexperience made it possible for those ever ready to take advantage and help themselves to what rightfully belonged to the association. This year Mr. Foster has lifted the association out of debt and placed a creditable amount in the treasury. This was accomplished by his good business principles and his careful handling of the gate receipts Now that all old debts are paid off, it is to be hoped that the finances of the association can be kept in a prosperous condition. A SAD CABLEGRAM FROM MANILA. All Lawrence was shocked beyond expression when the sad news came a week ago, that May Sexton Agnew is dead. The message, very brief, came by cable from Manila, to Mrs. Agnew's parents at Minneapolis, Kansas, and contained but three words, "May died today." It was signed by Lieutenant Agnew, and was dated Saturday, November 23d. The news was received in Lawrence Monday evening and it came as a great sorrow to many friends of the dear little girl who was with us only last year. May Sexton was graduated from this University with the class of 1901. She was widely and affectionately known in all University circles, being a student here for four years, and a very great favorite with all who knew her. She was a member of the Kappa Alpha Theta, by every member of which she is deeply and sincerely mourned. On August 24th she was married to Lieut. E. H. Agnew of the 26th Infty. They started immediately for Manila. Lieutenant Agnew was formerly a University student and is a member of Phi Delta Theta, and a hero of two enlistments. He was recently commissioned an officer in the regular army and took his sweetheart and girl wife with him to far Manila, hoping to return in about a year and a half. Letters received from Mrs. Agnew, written as late as October 16th, have been received containing no hint of illness or approaching disaster. She spoke of the weather, the manners and customs of the people, the delicious fruit, plans for their future, her present happiness, their home, but not a word of illness. It is not known of what ailment Mrs. Agnew died, nor will it be definitely AN OLD YALE JUBILEE. The Yale of twenty years ago was very different from the immense cosmopolitan institution of today. At the time of this sketch there were no women in the school and the number of men was small enough so that all courses and classes were united in a common brotherhood Immediately after supper on the last Tuesday before Thanksgiving every man in school was expected to come to the assembly hall. There, in the long room, with its straight-backed chairs, facing the high platform in front, the entire school was assembled according to classes. The Sophs surrounded the platform while just back of them were the Freshies walled in the rear by the Junior and Seniors. The smoky oil lamps burn dimly above the heads of a noisy broiling throng, while from his little box over the door the one lone professor who is allowed to witness the ceremonies of the evening looks on in fear and expectation. The clock in the neighboring tower strikes the half hour. A senior steps to the platform and after delivery of a very short address, says: "Gentlemen, who will you have for chairman of this meeting?" Here and there over the room seniors jump up on their chairs, and as they are recognized by the chairman, they nominate some especially tall Freshman for the preferred position. No sooner is a man called for than he is picked up by a half dozen or more juniors forced forward to the Sophomores, who in turn pass him over their heads towards the platform. Now the nominations are closed and upon the stage a dozen or more Freshmen stand wondering what will come next. The smallest Junior in the school is now handed forward and he by the aid of a step ladder and yard stick measures each candidate and announces his height to be so many parasangs. The body of Juniors and Seniors yell out that he won't do, and before he is aware of his danger he finds himself hurled forward by a Junior, who rushes at him from the rear, into the arms of the expecting Sophmores, only to be fired back and again thrown forward from the platform. But the exercise afforded a hundred or so Sophmore in playing ball, as it were, with half a dozen Freshmen is too great to be continued for any great length of time and soon things became quiet again and they proceed to the second part of the evening's entertainment. But that is another stripe of the tale. ASTHMA CURE FREE! Asthmalene Brings Instant Relief and Permanent Core in All Cases. SENT ABSOLUTELY FREE ON RECEIPT OF POSTAL.
