LAWRENCE, KAN., NOV. 18, 1899.
The Freshman and Sophomores seem to have signed an armistice. At any rate there has been no trouble for about two weeks.
The absorbing interest here for the next two weeks will be the Thanksgiving game. Everyone should go up to Kansas City and support the team. It will be a battle royal, but we are going in to win.
We wish to call attention to the directory of Literary and Scientific societies which we publish this week. The list is necessarily incomplete, and we would be glad to have all errors or additions reported at this office.
The construction of the new tennis courts directly in front of Blake hall is undoubtedly a good thing for the girls, but their location may be criticized. The space in front of Frazer hall and Blake hall has always been left a campus and would it not be better still to leave it so?
It is a matter of satisfaction that we are to meet Missouri on her own terms. We can afford to grant what they want. Their reorganization talk was a filmy pretext to avoid living up to their agreement, but we are willing to meet Mis, souri anywhere and are satisfied that our superiority will be demonstrated just the same.
The meeting Monday was one to inspire enthusiasm if that had not already existed, and to stir up feelings of patriotism in every breast. Prof. Burdick rightly said that loyalty is an essential idea in the American college of today, and in none more so than in Kansas university. We are loyal to our country and to our flag, as was show when forty-four men left school to take up arms, besides the others who had received patriotic inspirations here. Yet it is good to have a day like Monday to call this to our minds and to do honor to our heroes living and dead.
This is the way the agricultural College takes of the 'Varsity's part in the "doings" at Topeka: "The censure given the K U. students by Governor Stanley during the ceremonies Saturday was unquestionably called for. The display of college spirit shouln not interfere with any ceremonies. However, the spirit displayed by K U during the afternoon was of the highest order, and resulted not only in much amusement to themselves but greatly aided in whiling away the hours of waiting for several thousand people who were watching the fan. It is such occasions as this that make the college life of a person the days to which he always afterward looks back as the happiest time of his life.
Cornell Freshmen Called to Book for Posters.
The upper classmen at Cornell like those of Princeton have deemed it wise to puta bridle on any unseemly forwardness on the part of the Freshmen. The following from the Cornell Sun gives the regulations adopted:
At a meeting of the upper class-men held yesterday at one o'clock in the Library lecture room, the following resolutions were adopted and ordered to be printed in the college publications.
"Whereas, on Thursday last certain posters addressed to the class of 1903
were placed upon the walks of the campus, and
Whereas, the placing of such posters is not sanctioned by tradition at this University and furthermore
Whereas, the subject matter of the posters tended to engender hostilities between the underclasses and to injure the fair fame of Cornell
Therefore be it resolved:
That the upper classman, in mass meeting assembled, censure the individuals or society responsible for the poster and promise to use their best efforts to discourage and suppress any such demonstrations in the future."
"Some three years ago certain resolutions were adopted at a meeting of upperclassmen held for the guidance of freshmen. These rules were re sanctioned yesterday.
"I. Freshmen shall be prohibited from the smoking of pipes upon the streets of Ithaca, nor shall they smoke upon the campus."
"II. Freshmen shall not be allowed in the three restaurants known as Connelly's, Calkins' and Theo. Zink's after 7 p.m., unless accompanied by an upper-classman. This rule shall not apply to the dinners of the freshman banqueting clubs.
'III. Freshmen shall not carry canes unless successful in the under-class contests nor in any case shall they carry them on the campus. They shall not wear silk hats in Ithaca.
"A freshman shall be considered as one who is spending his first year in the University. Men who have entered from other colleges are excepted."
In Memory of William A. Saow.
Sunday the Plymouth Congregational church was packed with the friends of the deceased son of Chancellor Snow.
In the congregation were General and Mrs Funston, General Metcalf, more than sixty members of the University faculty, the local chapter of Phi Psi fraternity, of which Mr. Snow was a member; the local chapter of Pi Psi fraternity, of which the young man's sister is a member and hundreds of other sympathizing friends.
The altar was beautifully dedicated with cut roses, palms and chrysanthemums. The service was a simple, impressive one. The service was led by Dr. Cordy.
After an organ prelude and a selection by the choir, the Doctor read a part of the fiftieth chapter of first Corinthians and then spoke of Mr. Snow's early life in Lawrence, of the nobility of his character, of his life work and then of his journalistic career. The doctor spoke earnestly of the story of Snow's death, of his devotion to duty, his love for journalism and for of the journalistic profession.
Dr. Williston of the faculty spoke of Snow as a student and as a teacher. Dr. Williston as a teacher and later a fellow worker of Snow's bad occasion to know Snow well and spoke most highly of his manhood.
William Allan White of Emporia represented the newspaper fraternity. Mr. White and Snow were friends in college, Mr. White though deeply mourned spoke eloquently in memory of his friend. He said ceasingly:
"His biography is epitomized by its final chaper; courage, devotion to simple duty. His farewell to this world was as heroic as it would have been on the battle field. Peace hath her victories and her victories, for whoever follows duty, however humble be her walks, leads 'a consecrated life. And if duty walks thy death he has died in a holy cause. So our brother left us."
In an impressive service in its historic Plymouth church, the city of Lawrence yesterday paid its final tribute of respect to the memory of the lamented William A. Snow. There was in attendance a notable company, including General and Mrs. Funston, General Wilder Metcalf, William Allen White and hundreds of students from the University who loved and honored the brave reporter whose life went out in San Francisco bay. The venerable Rev. Dr. Cordlev, who knew young Suow from the day of his birth to th hour when he went down in the dark waters, conducted the exercises. The time, the season of the faded leaf and withered flowers, the place, the aging temple where the beginning and the ending of life is made the subject of impressive and affecting rites, the company's of faithful friends, so many in the prime and flush of manhood and womanhood, so full of the hopes and visions that inspired young Snow, all combined to form a scene to linger forever in the hearts of all who saw and heard.

A Freshman.
Over in Emporia, Kansas, the sophomore freshman scrap is very much alive. The preparations for the event are very elaborate. At night the freshmen plant a telephone pole and wrap around it a roll of sheet iron and a spool of barb wire. Then the whole thing is smeared with a mixture of axle grease and "white" tar. At the top of the pole the freshies' flag is made secure with barbed wire and staples. The next day occurs the scrap and after the freshmen are defeated the sophomores go up the pole after the flag. This year the freshmen pursued on horseback the sophomore who got the flag and attempt to lasso him. This is true western spirit. It is amusing to learn through the college paper that "the freshmen glorified in not being afraid to show their colors even if there were four sophomores to eight freshman boys."

A radiant smile rests on her face,

To feminine charms in night-like way.

Whose heart hath neer within her burn'd,
As she from a game hath homard turn'd
