WERE THE PRODUCTS OF THE GLEE CLUB 8 SIXTH HOLIDAY TOUR.
MANY FAVORABLE COMMENTS.
Vol. VIII. No. 10.
The next night they played before a large and appreciative audience at Parsons. At Girard and Joplin the reception was not so good, owing to the inclementy of the weather.
The Boys Made a Successful Trip and Return Loaded with Laurels.
The eighteen boys that comprised the Glee Club arrived Tuesday morning over the Southern Kansas, having traveled most of the night in order to be on time for the opening of school. From the tired out appearance of the boys, one would have thought them better candidates for a two weeks vacation, than for a resumption of their study. All are loud in their praises for the reception which they were given in the different towns that they visited. In Newton they were guests at a large ball, given on Christmas night. In El Dorado Miss Cecil Leland held an informal but very delightful reception for her acquaintances in the club. In Wichita and Winfield they fared very well as the guests of some of the nicest families in each place. Cedarvale, although small, has a large number of college bred young people and the boys received a delightful surprise in the dance given in their honor after the concert. No town was warmer in its reception of the boys than Coffeyville. Mr. Tom Wagstag formerly a Lawrence boy, and a graduate of the law school, had charge of the local arrangements, and did everything in his power to make the club's two days' visit in Coffeyville a pleasant one. The boys appreciated most of all the kindness of the local boys in getting up a large dance for them, and then stepping back and letting the University boys have full sway. They only danced with the young ladies who were left after their guests had secured partners. No more gentlymanly or generous an act could be possible.
On Tuesday afternoon the boys went from Coffeville to Independence, where they were again royally entertained. Miss Rachel Pugh-bhad sent out invitations to the young people of Independence to meet the boys at her home at an afternoon reception. But it turned out to be a more elaborate affair, being cards during the afternoon and a very sumptuous 6 o'clock dinner. The boys all voted Miss Pugh a charming hostess.
The largest audience greeted the audience here, every seat in the house being taken.
They owe the pleasantness of their stay in Ft. Scott to Mr. Al Garrett, a 'Varsity man of '94. The last concert of the trip was given at Iola and the boys took the early morning train back to Lawrence. All are extremely well satisfied with the results of the trip and are proud of the way in which they have upheld the reputation of the University. Perfect, gentlemanly conduct prevailed throughout the trip and nothing can be pointed to as a stain upon the record of the returning club. This, with the fine musical reputation of the club means much for future Glee Clubs.
Financially, the club had no difficulty in paying travelling expenses, but it remains for the Lawrence concert to clear the club of the other debts incurred in securing advertising, paying director's bills, etc.
At Ft. Scott the boys were greeted by a fine audience and entertained after the concert at an informal but very pleasant dance gotten up in their honor.
The K. U. Glee and Banjo club gave a good entertainment at the Grand last night. They came with the same happy, rollicky, bubbling air of song that distinguishes each annual tour of these representatives of Kansas popular institution of learning. They take with them a ray of sunshine and make everybody happy by looking at their happiness.
Many compliments were paid the boys by people who are acquainted with the eastern clubs and they were often favorably compared with these clubs.
The following are some of the press notices given the club concerts:
professionals, this was not expected, but some of it would compare with the best.
The instrumental work by the club could not be excelled and most of the specialty work was good. The Kelley brothers as German comedians did good work and their happy hits afforded lots of amusement. Jas L. Newhouse is a master with the mandolin and everybody liked his work. Carl Warkentin, the soloist, was good. and Ed Copley, who is business manager of the club, was probably the favorite bass singer.
While their work would not rank with
These are all representative Kansas young men selected from among the best young men of the state and their general behavior both on and off the stage reflect great credit on the institution they represent.- Winfield Courier.
The Glee and Banjo club from the Kansas University, which appeared in concert at the Davidson last night, was greeted with a nine and high class audience, the attendance being considered remarkable for the condition of the weather. Much can be said by way of praise of the Glee club and unfavorable criticism would be quite out of place. There was not a feature in the entertainment that did not appeal to the auditors as being first class. The chorus was superb, the voices of the participants being musical and harmonious; and the mandolin renditions were features that demanded favor. The club consists of fine looking young men of the true Kansas type and the concert, was strictly one of merit. The audience was well pleased and considered the entertainment the musical event of the season. It was a rare treat and more should have availed themselves of the opportunity and attended.
The concert was given under the auspices of the High School Athletic association and Manager Garrett is to be commended for his success in obtaining such a company of talented musicians as took part in the concert. While the patronage could have been larger he expresses himself as satisfied. -Ft. Scott Monitor.
The concert given in the Ragdale last night by the K. U Glee and Banjo Club was one of the treats of the season. Those who have heard the club in previous years say that this year it is the best of its history. One thing is certain, the work is of a high order. Every number on the program was enclosed except one, and it was the most classical one.
Prof. Newhouse, the mandolinist, is a perfect wizard on the little "pick fiddle." Whether playing solos or leading the club, or doing his trick work, he is an artist at all times. The selections by the mandolin club were all excellently rendered and received well deserved recalls. The Glee Club appeared to advantage in every number. Carl Warkentin survived the ordeal of singing in his own town, the hardest thing on the whole trip. He has a voice of remarkable purity for a young man, and he has bright prospects in the musical world. The Kelley brothers, who did a German comical turn, were enclosed twice. Their local hits pleased the audience greatly. F.H. Smith of the mandolin club, deserves special mention for his work on the guitar.
The young men's quartette sang one number instead of the "Rock Chalk" quartette of the Glee Club. The boys did well and were recalled—Newton, Kansas Republic.
The Kansas University Glee Club gave an exceptionally fine entertainment at the high school last night. The club is well balanced and the programme was one that gave entire satisfaction. Notwithstanding several other attractions last night a good audience greeted the club—Farsons Sun.
The attendance was not so large as usual for this club, the date coming between Christmas and the big holiday ball this evening dwarfing it.—El Dorado Times.
The jolly, rollicking Kansas University Glee and Banjo Club tickled El Dorado people at Eillet's opera house last evening with college songs, college funny business, college take offs, and college yellows. Chief features were the solos by Carl Warkenkin, the Glee club singing, and Oriental Ballet by the mandolin club. The boys are out on a lark and are skipping no opportunities for fun. There were eighteen of them.
The date for the home concert will be announced as soon as possible.
A room for the class in assaying, will be fitted up in the basement of the new chemistry building by the middle of next month.

GLASCO 12.
SHORT GRASS O.
THE 'VARSITY MEN FAILED TO GET
TOGETHER AND PLAYED A
LOSING GAME
ACCIDENTS WERE NUMEROUS.
Gavin and Wilcox Both Hurt-The Farmer Boys Were Too Much for TheMand Scored Twice.
The Short Grass team was defeated by the strong local eleven of Glasco, Kansas, on New Years day. The air was filled with flying snow and the "hay field" grounds were hard and icy.
The Short Grass men that were de pended upon did not show up at the time and their places were filled by loca men. Capt Gavin of the Short Gras won the toss and chose the west goal Glasco kicked off and Kansas carried the ball back five yards Jenkinson and Wilcox made good gains and the ball was rapidly being carried down the field when ball was lost on a fumble but recovered by Gavin, only to be fumbled and lost on the next down, Glasco made good gains but lost the ball on downs on the Short Grass 15 yard line. S.G. tried twice and failing to gain, tried a punt which was blocked by the Glasco left guard, Nicol for Glasco falling on the ball; Glasco tried three times for a gain but were carried back, losing the ball on downs; Wilcox bucked on tackle for 9 yards;S.G. fumbled and Glasco's right guard picked the ball up and reached the goal line just as he was tackled by Kreamer. T. Davidson kicked an easy goal. Gavin kicked off forty yards to W. Davidson who carried the ball back about 8 yards; Glasco made several vicious line bucks and was in the center of the field but lost the ball on downs- Another fumble gave them the ball again and Peterson bucked the line for lights bring- the ball to the thirty yard line when time was called. The second half was marked by accidents. At the end of the first five minutes of play Wilcox the 1900 captain of the K. U' team was forced to retire from the game because of an injured shoulder. Walter Heinicke took his place; Glasco brought the ball down the field by line bucks to the middle of the field; here Peterson, the left半 for the Glasco, bucked the line; Gavin for S. G. was backing the line, and in stopping the full fellows rush was pinned beneath a mass of players and had his knee dislocated. His place was taken by McClaine of Jewell City. The time left to play was fifteen minutes but Glasco magnanimously split the difference and played 7 minutes. They made 20 yards on a quarter back run and then the Short Grass began to hold them; Time was called with the ball in Short Grass' possession in the middle of the field; Newl made the second touch down on a fumble.

An Innovation in the Y.M.C. A. Sunday Meetings
Aside from personal qualifications men, with creeds or without, church members or not, are recognizing the best service to their fellow men as a prime factor in selecting their life work. The idea is distinctively Christian for all service to fellow men whether labeled or not, is Christian service
Beginning with [January 28, successful men will address the Y. M. C. A. meetings on the possibilities of Christian service in their callings.
The addresses will not be light, off hand talks, but aggressive and original presentations of the qualifications and possibilities of their callings. The fields of science, law, ministry, teaching, business and the like will be presented by our leading men.
This is certainly a wonderful chance for our University students to obtain a broad view of the respective merits and opportunities of the principal vocations.
HILLIARD JOHN 30N DEAD.
well Known Kansas University Graduate
well known Kansas University Graduate Founded in San Francisco.
The dispatches last week announced the death of Hillard Johnson, '98, who was well known to all old students. He was prominent in all University affairs during his course. He was edior-in-chief of the WEEKLY for the fall term of 1898, and was the one who started it out as a newspaper. His journalistic ability was evident at that time and he was preparing himself for the newspaper work which he took up after leaving school.
He always showed himself to be a man of talent while in the University, and was highly respected by students and professors. He was a leader in almost every phase of college life, and was one of the most popular men in the school. He went to San Francisco last summer and secured a position on the Chronicle through the influence of W.A. Snow, whom he succeeded as water front reporter after Snow's sad death.
Hillard Johnson was a graduate of the University of the class of '98. He was also a graduate of the Lawrence High School, where he did his preparatory work for the University. His parents formerly lived at Quenemo, in Osage County, but several years ago they went to California. They wanted him to go there to attend Leland Stanford University, but he declined to so, saying that he wated to complete his schooling in his native state.
His inclination for newspaper work developed when a boy. All the time he was in school, he was connected with some school publication and selected the studies which he thought would be useful to him in the field he was ambitious to enter.
After leaving the university he secured a position on the Leavenworth Times and was made city editor, but later went to Kansas City, where he was employed on the Kansas City Journal. His talent soon developed and that paper sent him to Jefferson City, where he reported the last session of the Legislature. After returning he was employed on the Kansas City Times, leaving there to go to San Francisco. He was always greatly liked by Chancellor Snow, whose son, Will Snow, secured him a place on the Chronicle staff. He rapidly advanced, as the above dispatch indicates, holding at the time of his death one of the most important places on the reportal staff.
Prof. Ellis Add. esses the Y. M C. A.
It was not generally known among any but his most intimate friends that he was a sufferer from heart trouble, though he was subject to occasional attacks of heart failure while at the University and, he himself believed that sooner or later it would be the cause of his death.
Sunday, January 14., the one hundred and fifty members of the University V.M. C. A. Bible classes will be addressed by Prof. Ellis of Topeka. He is a graduate of Chicago Theological Seminary and is a brilliant student and speaker. The subject of his address will be "The Practical Value of the Bible Today,' and will undoubtedly be well worth hearing. All University men are invited to be present.
KANSAS ACADEMY OF SCIENCE
Kansas University was well represented at the meeting of the Kansas Academy of Science at McPherson during the holidays. Three important papers were presented by members of the faculty of this school, and two of the offices were given to Kansas University men, Prof. E Miller being made vice president, J. W. Beede, treasurer and Prof. Edward Bartow, one of the curators.
Prof. E. Miller lectured on "The Corona or the Sue," illustrating his lecture with stereoptic slides. Prof. E. H. S. Bailey spoke on "The Relative Heating Value of Coal and Natural Gas" and Prof. F. O. Marvin on "Testing Paving Bricks." Among the new members elected were O. T. Stafford and C. F. Gustafson.
