KANSAS UNIVERSITY WEEKLY.
5
Y. W. C. A. NOTES.
The meeting Wednesday afternoon was led by Miss Hall, her subject being "Sincerity." As the week has been so busy the attendance was not large, but those who were present felt the hour had been made a valuable one by her earnest, straight-forward talk.
The election of new officers will be held next Wednesday, Jan. 30, instead of the 23d, as had been announced. The installation of officers will take place the following Wednesday.
A jolly time is expected at the "postexam frolic" to be held in the chapel Saturday night. Those who attended the one held last year well remember what a jolly evening it was, and the one this year promises to equal it in jollity.
K. U. vs. Haskell.
The University team played Haskell last night at the city Y. M, C. A. rooms. K. U.'s team was made up of the following men: Sawtell and Smith, back; F. Owen and Gould forward; H.Owen, center. Alford took Gould's place in the second half. So far as K. U. was concerned the game was poorly played. The boys were decidedly off and not up to their usual work. Haskell's men played very good ball. Payer threw eleven field goals. He made one of them as he was falling. His work was by far the best of the evening. The score was 40 to 22 in favor of Haskell.
Basket Ball League.
Five of the leading basket ball teams in the state have formed a basket ball league. It includes Ottawa, Topeka Y. M.C.A., Haskell, Lawrence Y.M.C.A., and K.U. Each team plays the other twice, once on the home ground and once away. The first game in the series will be here next Saturday between K U. and
Elbert Hubbard's Lecture.
the city Y.M.C.A. The entire schedule has not yet been arranged, but it will be made out in full during next week.
The Pi Phis were fortunate in securing Mr. Hubbard, we believe every one will agree who heard him last night at the Congregational church. Mr. Hubbard has a sixteenth century air about him, his hair is long, and his faulty eloition would make an elocutionist faint, but when you step into his presence you bow your head before a superior and when you leave you have food for a year's hard thinking. His talk was mostly about the Roycrofters, that semi-socialistic community at East Aurora N.Y. where 250 boys and girls work at what they like best and are never discharged. Most of them make books and the finest in America are made there. Mr. Hubbard's ideals are those of Ruskins as carried out by William Morris. Mr. Hubbard's lecture was pithy and epigramatic. He believes that success is "Doing something for somebody."
During the year 1898 and 1899 there enrolled in the schools and colleges of the United States, public and private, 19,738, - 362 pupils.
