LECTURE BY PROFESSOR ROGENS.
His Lecture Entitled "A Bundle of Letters Thirty Centuries Old" Proved Very Interesting To All.
Letters Discovered Near Thebes, Egypt
A large crowd listened to the lecture of Professor Rogers, on "A Bundle of Letters Thirty Years Old," delivered in the chapel last Tuesday evening. He gave an account on their discovery near Thebes, Egypt, beneath some old ruins Also the difficulty in getting them to Europe. They were written about 1500 B.C. He gave some of his own translations of these letters, some of which were of historical value; most of them however were of importance to throw light upon the social conditions of the times. They were very curious and interesting.
Pros. Rogers comes to us from the Drew Theological Seminary of Madison, New Jersey. His particular work in Egyptology and Assyriologist. He has written considerable, his most important work being a two volume series on the history of Babylon and Assyria, which has been praised by scholars as the best account of excavations and discoveries and history of finds made there. He has visited and studied in every great museum in the world, has been abroad ten times and has seen everything in his line in all the museums. He presented his material in such manner that it was indeed interesting to all, both students and citizens.

INDOOR MEET.
The most successful Indoor Meet ever held by Kansas University both from a financial and athletic standpoint was held in the City Y. M. C. A. gymnasium Saturday evening. All events were well handled by Manager Mains of the track team and several records were made and others broken, to the delight of an enthusiastic audience. W. H. Toby, captain of the track team, gave the most notable performance of the evening, breaking local indoor record of 5 ft. 1 in. for the high jump, by 6 in. The fence vault record 6 ft. 4 in. was raised by O. K. Baker, Quigley gave a pretty exhibition of foot starting in the 10 yd dash. He bids fair to have the making of an all around track athlete. The snapunder was in jeopardy as Rufus Emery in spite of a sprained ankle, only missed breaking it by one inch. Emery's tumbling team gave splendid exhibition showing faithful training. H. H Tangeman holder for two years of the 'Varsity fencing championship was defeated by Leland Davies in one
of the prettiest events on the card. Tangman depending on his superior reach and powerful wrist forced matters from the outset and the first round was decidedly in his favor. In the second Davies took the initiative, touching Tangman at will and the bout closed with Davies winner.
The events and winners were: stand high jump, Orwig, 4 ft $3\frac{1}{2}$ in.; snap under, Emery, lit. of pole 4ft 7in, distance of bar from pole 5 ft $6\frac{1}{2}$ in.; running high jump, Toby, 5 ft. 7 in.; springboard jump, Quigley, 6 ft. $4\frac{1}{2}$ in.; ten yard sprint, Quigley; standing high kick, Powell 6 ft. 4 in.; fencing, Davies; fence vault, O.

The Engineer of Fowler Shops.
Very few people realize that all the light, power and water that is used at the University is supplied from the Fowler Shop and that only one man, the engineer, Charles Griffith is responsible for its regulation and supply.
Mr Griffith has worked as engineer in this position for eleven years and has become very skillful and successful. At one time in the old shop, it required two men to do this work, but Mr. Griffith has improved in skill much faster than the demand, thus with the convenience and capacity of the new plant he is able to generate steam with the boiler, run large engine and pumps, and regulate the voltage for lights in the Library, Chancellor's residence, Fraser Hall, Physics Building and Fowler Shop. Also to run the motors for the organ, storage batteries, motors for Martin's shop, Stimpson's shop, Templins shop, four motors in Fowler shops, fan motor in Chemistry building, and motor for mining engineering shop; besides the various small motors and are lights used for photographing and lanterns etc.
There are plans under way for lights for all of Snow Hall and the Chemistry building, and thus the work increases for an engineer.
BAND CONCERT.
On next Wednesday night the University Band will give the best concert ever given in the chapel. The band is in better condition than ever before and is going to make an effort to out do all former concerts. The boys are to play for the ball games this spring and they want to have new clothes and look like a real grown up band. In order to do this they must have money and that is the purpose of this concert.

Haskell Defeated.
Base Ball Game Monday Resulted in a Victory for the 'Varsity—Score 5 to 4.
First Game on McCook Field this Year
The base ball season was opened on McCook field last Monday by K. U. vs. Haskell, resulting in a score of 5 to 4 in favor of K. U. The game should have been played on April 6 but was postponed from time to time on account of wet weather. Not having had much out-door practice both teams played rather ragged ball at times. Haskell set a swift pace at the bat getting three runs in the first inning and one in the second, but from this point on, K. U. took a brace and the braves from Haskell failed to connect during the remainder of the game. The 'Varsity was rather week at the bat for although the red-skin twirls were landed upon frequently, the hits generally found a soft resting place in some Indian's mit. The game served to bring out the fact that both teams have excellent material for the outfield which on the whole had more chances to show its strength than the infield. The K. U. gardeners having demonstrated their ability to catch flies will have to limber up with the stick if they would hold their jobs, for ability to connect with the ball goes a long way in holding down a position. In order to allow the different candidates opportunity to show their ability the 'Varsity men were frequently changed especially in the outfield, where Tucker, Barnett, Quigley, Branfoot, Trussell and Leonard showed up in good form, and with the advent of sunny weather and out door practice the team will improve rapidly.
Blaine Moore will spend part of next week in K. C, at work on the annual.
Quill Club.
The subject of Prof. Jones lecture before the Quill Club last week was "Ironquill," the Kansas poet. Those who were present report a rare treat. Prof. Jones had skillfully outlined his subject and presented it in a most pleasing way
Y. W. C. A. NOTES
The regular meeting Wednesday was led by Miss Hanson and was a missionary meeting. The subject was "South America," which has ever been the country studied by the missionary classes this term. Music was furnished by a trio consisting of Misses Dudley, Walton and Stern.
A Cadet corps for Next Year.
A meeting was held Monday noon for the formation of a Cadet Corps to begin work next year. Dr. Naismith presided over the meeting. It was attended by a large number of students interested in that line. A committee was appointed to look after securing arms, uniforms, etc. An attempt will be made to have the state furnish arms. The uniforms will be owned by the cadets themselves. It is thought that sufficient companies can be organized for a battalion, by having only forty enlisted men to each company. The matter is to be brought up before the board of regents, and the movement will be governed largely by their action. This organization is to come under the state law and the officers will receive commissions from the Governor.
