APPEARED FRIDAY NIGHT BEFORE A LARGE AND APPRECIATIVE AUDIENCE.
THE GLEE CLUR
A HIGH CLASS ENTERTAINMENT.
Prof. Farrell and the Mandolin Club Were the Favorites—The Voices Were Good.
The Glee Club gave Lawrence a concert Friday night at the Bowersock opera house. This concert is always supposed to be the great effort of the club, and the numbers Fri day night showed they were in much better shape than they were during their holiday tour. Its singing was good, but the numbers were not of a popular character, and some of them hardly seemed suited for a Glee Club concert. The Mandolin Club came in for good applause and deserved it. Its work was uniformly good, and showed that the training under Newhouse had been of great value Both clubs seemed to be in need of some additional stage training. Their formation was not as good and as well practiced as that of the football team.
But from a musical standpoint the concert was highly successful. The work of both clubs showed the careful training they had received and the musical ability of the individual members. There are undoubtedly n great number of good voices in the Univ rsity and it would seem that the Glee Club had the pick of them. This Glee Club work has a great deal of labor with little pay, and much credit is due to the two clubs and especially to Manager Copley for the faithful conscientious work they have put in to make the club a success.
The program Friday night was as follows:
Greeting.
In Daherey, Cole. Mr. Hamilton and clubs.
Merry Medley, arranged by Newhouse. Mandolin club.
On the Road to Mandalay, Kipling.
Glee club.
Mandolin Quartette. Newhouse, Gar-
sher. Shaker and Harshberger.
Toreador's Love Song, Couchois. Prof.
Farrel.
Dream Song, Daniels. Mr. Hamilton and Glee club.
Belle of New York, from Belle of New York. Mandolin club.
All Barred cut. Taber. Glee club
Ciential Ballet, Perkins. Mandolin club.
The men composing the Glee Club are Messrs Burress, Hgee, Harsbberger, Thatchater, Anderson, Sallee, Hamilton, Kelly, McMath, Copley, Shaler and Smith. In the Mandolin Club are Messrs Newhouse, Garver, Shaler, Harsbberger, Elmer Kelly, Sallee, File Thatchater, Swayze, Summerfield and Walter Kelly,
Tuttu Frutti, Up-to-date, arranged by Newhouse. Glee and Mandolin clubs.
Mr. Carl Warkentine, the tenor soloist of the club; has left school and did not appear on the program last night. His place was filled by Prof. Farrell whose applause is always welcomed by Lawrence audiences. His voice seemed especially good last night and his numbers received great applause. His first songs showed the power and sweetness of his voice and were received well by the audience.
The annual catalogue of the Yale University, which was made last week, shows an attendance of 2,517, an increase of six over that of last year.

For Establishing a Protracschr of the
Secretion of Government
In regard to the disposal of $100,000 for the establishment of a professorship of the Science of Government at Harvard University, the will of Dorman B. Eaton, the prominent civil service reformer of New York says:
Powdered extracts at the Home Store
"I do not attempt to describe the specific instruction to be given through this professorship; but I may say that I have endowed it not only in the faith that it will always be filled by an able and patriotic citizen, zealously devoted to its purpose, but in the hope that through its teaching, the great principles upon which our national constitution is based and in conformity to which administration should be carried on, will be vindicated and strengthened; that the fit relations between parties and government will be made plain, and the obligations of the moral law and patriotic endeavor in party politics and all official life will be persuasively expounded; the just relations between public opinion, party opinion and individual independence will be set forth, that an effective influence will be exerted for making public administration and legislation in the United States worthy of the character and intelligence of their people; and that not only the statutory lesons of history will be presented, but the most appropriate and effective means of practical despoison in politics and government; and for inducing and enabling the most worthy citizens fairly to exercise a controlling power in the republic. It seems to me that these lessons—and especially such as may be drawn from the history of the ancient Italian and Dutch republics, and from that of England—have been by no means adequately expounded in the teachings of our political science."
We seem now to have arrived at the truth, as an authorized version of Mark Twain's career has been given to the public, through McClure's Magazine for October, by the pen of Samuel E Moffett. According to this "he was a delicate boy, not able to suffer much schooling"; he was mischievous and unmanageable. He was a boatman on the Mississippi, a confederate soldier, and a duelist, before he became a writer in the San Francisco papers in whose interest he visited Hawaii, and on his return lectured on that and other subjects.
His "Innocents Abroad," written after a trip to Europe, gave him an undisputed right to the title of "The American Humorist." He has been one of the few great authors who have accumulated a fortune; it was lost, however, in the Webster publishing house, cf which he was the financial backer. Although not legally bound to do so, he broken in health and spirits, determined to redeem the credit of the company by making a lecture tour around the world. He then wrote "Following the Equator," and succeeded in clearing off all the obligations against the house of Webster and Company. It is a rare case of business probity, and proves him the "noblest work of God, an honest man."

Dr. C. E., Muma of Topeka, surgeon of the United States gave a lecture in the lecture room on Tuesday at 4 o'clock. His subject was "Sanitiatio and was very ably and interestingly treated. The Pharmacy and Medical schools attended in bodies.
Dr. Williston has donated to the entomological museum some Diptera from South America.
SNOW HALL NOTES
The Botany department has recently received several new books; also some apparatus to be used in Bacteriology.
L. A.L.
The Zoology class had a very unusual quiz. Each member of the class was given a squid, a specimen not studied during the term and told "to work it out."
The Law school came to our lecture room one day this week to take a quiz; but they seem to have forgotten "law and order" as they made such a noise in the hall that it seriously disturbed the professor who was lecturing to the class. We would invite them to come again after having taken a course in "Order and Quotely."
HASKELL FIRST.
THE BASKET BALL SEASON OPENED
AT THE Y.M.C.A. GYMNASIUM.
PROSPECTS
ARE VFRY GOOD
Lots of Men Cut and a Good Schedule
Coffered - The Inter Class Series.
The Kansas University basket ball team played its first game Saturday night at the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium with the Haskell Indians. The Indians were on the whole, new to the game, but have been working hard and have two men who learned the game at Carlsle and can play good ball.
The Varsity team was in good shape and, put up as stiff a game as it did last year. There are a number of old men back and the new ones are showing up well. The men who have been working for places are Avery, Fred and Herbert Owen, Yahn Vandruff, Hoefer, Fulleton and Williams. HRss was elected captain but has quit the game and another captain will have to be elected.
will have to
A good schedule has been arranged for the 'Varsity team. Besides a number of games with Haskell and other city leams, two games have been arranged with Topeka the first one here on February 9th and a return game on the 23rd games will be played with Kansas City and Wm. Jewel, but dates have not yet been arranged.
All the classes are showing great interest. The inter-class series last year did much to popularize the game and there is promise of a hot contest this year.
Yahn is managing the Senior team,
Owen the Juniors, McMath the Sophomores,
and Seyster the Freshmen.
Next Friday night the first two games of the series will be played: Freshmen vs Sophomores and Juniors vs. Seniors.
The Freshmen alone have eight or nine teams contending for the honors of representing their class.
These games will all be good ones and worthy of attendance and we hope the teams will receive the support they deserve.
The Rates of Colleges.
From the New York Herald:
Which is the best educated state in the union?
Illinois leads the United States in learning. There are 13,787 students enrolled in the various colleges and universities of the Sucker state. And, remember, Illinois is the first state in point of population in the union. New York has more people within its boundaries. So has Pennsylvania.
New York comes second. Our record is not far behind that of Illinois. The figures are 1,300. And after us comes another eastern state—Pennsylvania. The Keystone institutions hold 11,396 persons who are being familiarized with the higher forms. Ohio is close up. Her record for stu dents of this class is 11,239. And then comes a point for our southern friends. Tennessee stands fifth. They run to learning down in Dixie. Tennessee has 7,139 stud ents to her credit. Missouri is sixth, with a showing of 6,531.
So much for the higher education Now try the same question as applied to the common schools. Where does the greatest percentage of enrolled scholars obtain? You might as well save yourself the trouble of guessing. You would hardly pick it out in a dozen trials Kansas Bleeding Kansas. The home of the populist, the cyclone and the corn crop! Considered with regard to its total population, the enrollment in Kansas is really remarkable. The number of scholars of the public institutions are 370,240.
Following Kansas comes West Virginia, where the number of enrolled scholars is 236,188, which is 27.27 per cent of the population. And then meets Utah, where there are 70,878 scholars, a percentage of 26.75. And then comes Iowa, with a percentage of 26.13, and again Tennessee, where 25.66 per cent of the population are enrolled scholars. Mississippi is sixth, with a percentage of 25.28 to her credit. Massachusetts has a percentage of only 15.93, and New York isn't much ahead of the Bay state, for its figures are 17.56. Verily, there is more common school education in the west and the south than was dreamed of in the eastern philosophy.
The Freshmen at a class meeting on Thursday in Snow Hall elected George Barkman president.
SNOW LITERARY SOCIETY.
The program last Saturday was up to the usual standard maintained by the snow.
Mr. Kinneor gave the current events.
Mr. C. B. Myers read an "Autobiography" that was full of humor.
Mr. Gernon gave a guitar solo: Miss Mabel Davis read an interesting and instructive essay entitled "The Boer at Home." Mr. Haury gave a talk on "The History of the Filipino." His talk was concise and to the point and he covered the ground thoroughly and with a degree of accuracy that made it worth remembering.
Mr. Kneiner gave the current events.
The question for debate was: Resolved that the students of Kansas University have too many privileges.
Messrs. Baker and Lemon were voted in and the name of Miss Audrey Goss proposed for membership.
Both speakers of the affirmative being absent Mr. McMath and Miss Ellsworth took the affirmative against Messrs. Emery and Worley. The affirmative won the decision.

At Chemical Seminary Thursday, Mr. Stafford gave a talk on "Inorganic Evolution," which was principles on work that had been done on the constitution of the element; work that had been done by the aid of the spectrocope.

The Junior Prom.
The Junior Prom is well under way and promises to be the society event of the year. April 27 has been chosen as the date. The event will occur in Eldridge Hall. The farce committee is composed of Misses Manley, Bunker and Hall, and Messrs. Wise and Baker. The committee refuses to divulge its plans but promises a good faree. The financial committee is raking the funds together to buy only town music, refreshments and decorations. The affair will be a gigantic one as there are 135 Juniors and as many or more Seniors.
It is the custom of each Junior class to try to put all former efforts and the class of 'or is not going to spare any efforts to put all other proms in the background.
