EDDY CONCERT.
Mr. Clarence Eddy, America's Most Distinguished Organist Plays for Lawrence People
Concert for Benefit of Pipe Organ Fund.
Professor Penny was once a student of Mr. Eddy and for that reason he was induced to stop over on his way from Popeka to Kansas City.
As there are many University people who are now familiar with Mr. Eddy's work, the WEEKLY will give a little of his history, taken from "Who is Who in America." He is a concert organist born in Greenfield, Mass., in 1851, and began to study music at 11 years of age, studying under Dudley Buch, at Hartford, Conn., in 1867; was organist at Bethany Church, Montepelier, Vt., in 1860-71. Studied piano under Loesckhorn and organ under Haupt at Berlin, returned to the United States and became organist for First Congregational Church, Chicago, and later was organist and choirmaster of First Presbyteran Church, at Chicago. Mr. Eddy played to the Centennial Exposition in 1876, Vienna Exposition in 1883, Paris Exposition in 1889, and Columbian Exposition in 1893. He has given recitals in the principal cities of Eurone and America.
Wednesday afternoon the chapel was well filled with people anxious to get a glimpse of and listen to the skillful organist. Perhaps no Lawrence audience ever had the pleasure of listening to a better or more carefully rendered program. Mr. Eddy is a man who by his very movements holds the attention of his auditors. The program was a classical one, but everybody enjoyed it. The best evidence of this was the expressions of admiration from the music loving people and the generous applause by all who were present.
Mr. Eddy was able assisted by Miss Celesta Nellis, who gave two splendid numbers.
NOTES FROM EXCHANGES.
The Disciplinary Committee of Iowa University has frequent need for the advice of attorneys lately.

Notre Dame has fifty-two Spanish- American students, and Pennsylvania has so many that an edition of the University catalog has been issued in Spanish.
K. U. students should not complain of the space given to advertisers in THE WEEKLY if they could see "The Delpnic" of Drake University. It looks like a bound volume of hand-bills.

Dr. Charles M. Sheldon Will Respond to a Toast
The annual banquet of the Y. M. C. A. promises to be a notable event this year. The Eldridge House has been secured for the occasion April 20, and among the guests will be Congressman Bowersock, who will be master of ceremonies, and Dr Sheldon, of Topeka, who will respond to a toast. It is expected that several of the regents will be present also, while other prominent men have been invited.
ORATORY AT K. U.
The WEEKLY editorial of two weeks ago concerning oratory and Kansas University's place in the state association seems to have met with general approval among both faculty and students.
Prof. Vickrey says our poor success was due to lack of preparation. Whereas other schools selected their representatives early in the fall and gave the advantage of drill and preparation at the University the reverse is true. A number promised to write but were slow in handing in their orations. As a result the preliminary was postponed time after time until it could be postponed no longer and our man scarcely had time to send his oration to the judges. A good plan would be to have each literary select in the spring two men who shall represent it in the final preliminary. This would give them all summer for preparation and the final could be held about Thanksgiving thus giving our representatives three months for drill.
Prof Burdick believes our misfortunes are due to the general lack of interest. This is due in part to the fact that our literary societies meet on the hill and necessitate an unpleasant climb at night. The time and manner of selecting representatives are matters of detail. Kansas University is capable of sending out men who are winners and would do it if only the student body were interested.
Prof. Hopkins says that perhaps the WEEKLY editorial was a little radical but merited. Poor oratorical contests are caused by poor orators. K. U. suffers in this respect as well as other colleges of the state. Oratory is as difficult of attainment as poetry writing. We have oratorical contests, why not have poetical contests. In oratorical contests we have attempts and people do not have time to listen to attempts.
The oratorical association should be organized on much the same plan as the debating council, fixing responsibility upon somebody. Let the membership consist of societies, not individuals. Whatever is done should be done with energy and by co-operation of the student body and faculty.
ANOTHER K. U. MAN HONORED.
Sherman G. Elliot Appointed Connty Poor Commissioner. It is an enviable position.
position.
Monday the County Commissioners appointed Sherman G. Elliot, the present city secretary of the Associated Charities, county poor commissioner. It is an enviable position which Mr. Elliot justly deserves, as he is a man well fitted for the position. Elliot is a University man of whom the institution is justly proud. He is chuck full of business and a genuine hustler. He will always be remembered by the University students in connection with his brother, as the men who conducted the ever victorious
Senior Play.
The senior play committee expects to assign the parts of the dramatis personae of their play next week. After the spring vacation rehearsing will begin and be prosecuted with assiduity. A review of the personnel of the class of 1901 reveals the fact that it has several members of considerable dramatic ability. This coupled with Mrs. Georgia Brown's excellent work in coaching promises to make the play one of the best ever given in Lawrence by a senior class,

ATHLETIC NEWS.
The Outlook for the Tumbling Team is Bright--Other Notes On Athletics.
TUMBLING.
Although there has not been much interest manifested in tumbling at K. U. in the past, this particular branch of athletics has been receiving more attention this year and at present quite a number of men are working in the gymnasium each day.
Three years ago, by the efforts of Beaman, Emery, Gray and a few others, a tumbling team was organized which was revived to some extent last year. This year, however, the team will take part in the annual indoor meet which takes place on April 5. The following men are reported by Captain Emery as showing up favorably: Voeth, Heinecke, Anderson, Kilgore, Bailey, Algie, Murray, Greenleaf and Gray.
If Haskell enters the meet this spring is as anticipated it will be of more than usual interest. Show that you are interested in athletics and a new gymnasium by deed as well as word and turn out on April 5.
Two class basket ball games were pulled off last Saturday night; Freshmen vs. Sophomores and Juniors vs. Seniors. The Sophomores and Seniors were victorious. The next game will be Sophs vs. Seniors, after which the Faculty will play the winners.
The triangular indoor track meet between Chicago, Ill., and Notre Dame last Saturday was won by Notre Dame. Several records were broken including the broad jump and 440 yd run. The quarter mile record is now held by M. W. Long, of Columbia, who covered the distance in 47 4-5 seconds, lowering the previous record by one second.
The Independence basket ball team, having defeated the Fon Du Lac team, in the series played at Independence last week now hold championship.
Classes, elect your base ball managers if you expect to hold the class championship this spring.

The Law school has grown enthusiastic over chess. They think there is no such game for mental gymnastics and they are just enough conceited to believe they can beat any one in K. U. If you wish to show your skill, and in the meanwhile get your brain really straightened out see Benest and arrange for a match game.
