ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITIES.
An association of American Universitie has recently been formed for the purpose of giving a definite, fixed value to university degrees and of raising the scholarship of the college.
Today degrees mean very little. The standards vary with each university and one man may possess a certain degree procured with little labor, while another man may have slaved and toiled many a long year for the same title. If there were a certain uniformity in the requirements for a certain degree, an A.B or Ph. D would mean the same to all who possess them and would become definite and certain.
The plan of the association is to have only those college members whose work is up to the standard required. This of course will create opposition from some of the younger and smaller institutions. But the association is not hermetically sealed; it will be a competition in scholarship, and as only worthy candidates will be received, scholarship will ultimately be raised.
The association will request that no foreign university admit "any American student to the examinations for a degree in philosophy, unless he presents a bachelor degree from an American college or university"—and it will also consider the "advisability of limiting the institutions from which such bachelor's degrees may be accepted."
Such a plan would obviously result in a change in the present method of granting degrees. Every college will strive to raise its scholarship and in this way enter the association, and have its graduates at once recognized by the foreign universities.—Wisconsin Cardinal.
What Becomes of Y. W. U. A. Presidents?
Among the alumnae of this University, there are many of whom the Y. W. C. A can justly be proud. We have space to mention only a few of them, however.
Dr Ida C Barres, '35, took her medical degree at the Woman's Medical College, Philadelphia, and has practised since in Topeka. She has taken a great deal of interest in Association work, both city and state, and is at present the chairman of the State Board of the Y. W. C. A.
Miss Laura Radford, '94, was president of the University Association in '92-93. After graduation she was State secretary for two years. Resigning, she was elected to the chair of Latin in Kansas City University; here she stayed two years, when the Inter-national Committee appointed her secretary to India. She sailed November, '99, and after a short stay in Europe, she reached Madras, where she will stay for five years.
Miss Kate Niggs, 94, was president of the Association in '93-'94. She accepted a position as teacher of English at the Lawrence high school. In 1899 she was given leave of absence for one year to pursue her studies in Europe. She is now in Berlin.
Mrs. Martha Snow Brown '98 was president from '95 to '97. In the summer of '98 she was married to Mr. William Harvey Brown and they soon sailed for Salisbury, Rhodesia, South Africa where Mr. Brown is interested in a large ranch.
Miss Anna Banks, '95, was president in '94-'95, and has spent her time since graduation, teaching in Topeka.
Miss Agnes Radford '98 held several important positions in the Association, iAfter graduation she taught one year as principal of the High school at Chanute and was then appointed state secretary in which capacity she is still serving.

There seems to be considerable grafting going on in all branches of lessons.
It is said that a rooster at the State Agricultural College was recently arrested for using fowl language.
Tis with our judgments as our watches, none go alike, yet each believes his own.
It is sincerely to be hoped that the arrangements now pending may be satisfactorily completed, and Mr. J, S. Moore retained as general secretary of the University Y. M. C. A. for another year. The work he has done here in this capacity during the past year has been successful beyond question. Never has the Association had a larger membership or taken a more active part in University affairs and the various phases of the work, such as the Employment Bureau, care of the sick, and Bible study) which have been developed under his guidance, have made the Association a great power for good in the life of the University.-Nebraska Hesperian.

$20,000 ENDOWMENT
It is Now Before the Senate.—The Claim of the Old Free State Hotel About to be Realized Upon
KANSAS UNIVERSITY MAY SOON REALIZE THIS AMOUNT ON AN OLD CLAIM.
While it seems almost too good to be nevertheless it is entirely probable that Kansas university will receive the snug sum of $20,000 in the near future. It may not be this year but it will in all probabilities at least be next year. The story of this endowment goes back to the fifties when Lawrence was but a small village of a settlement of men who wanted to make Kansas a free state. It was then that the Free State hotel was burned and the owner afterwards put in a claim to congress for $20,000. He however turned the claim over to Kansas University for whatever could be gotten out of it. This claim is now in the senate and the prospects are that it will pass. It passed the house last year but of course would have to be sent back to the house again whenever it passes the senate.
