LAWRENCE, KAN . OCT 7, 1899
The Freshmen are beginning to have their first delightful experience with quizzes, and are anxiously awaiting the results.
The mass meeting Monday noon brought out an unusually large crowd and showed that the students this year are going to be in hearty sympathy with all University interest.
The city papers have been paying well deserved compliments to the band, for its work last Saturday. It certainly maintained its former reputation or established a new one
The Senior Annual ought to be a success this year, with Miss Hill and Mr. Bruzzi at the head. Last year's Annual was a good one, but the class of 1900 has lots of talent and push and is determined to make a better one this year.
Such entertainments as the one last Tuesday night ought to receive better patronage than they do. The nature of the entertainment and the purpose for which it is given should both induce everyone to attend. We all realize that the pipe organ is a good thing and we ought to be willing to help it along.
Already basket-ball practices has begun. It is a good thing to begin early. The Varsity had a fast team last year, and the prospect is even better this year. Class teams will be the rage for a time, until the material is developed for a Varsity team. The basket-ball men contemplate a trip into Nebraska for the holidays.
There was a noticeable lack of enthusiasm at the game last Saturday. As usual when our boys were in the lead the crowd would yell, but when they had the worst of it there was absolute silence. That is the time when they need encouragement worst. Commence yelling when the ball is put in play and keep it up until time is called.
The council did a good thing in allowing the Glee Club trip for this year. The Glee Club's trips in the past have always been very successful and under the present management, and with the men who now compose the club, there is no danger but that the club will be an honor to the University. A Glee Club should be as much to a university as its athletic or debating teams and we are going to have one this year of which we may well be proud.
The Lawrence Journal makes charges of professionalism against our football team, and refers to the unbecoming conduct of one of the players during the game last Saturday, but does not make any specific charge. The Journal ought to speak plainly, and say who it is that it accuses of professionalism, so that the matter may be investigated, instead of making instuinations. The Weekly does not believe that there is any foundation for such a statement, but if there is it should be examined.
The meeting of the Athletic association this week shows that its machinery under the new constitution is rather cumbersome. There were no reports ready except that of the treasurer as none of the officers who were to have made them seemed to feel the responsibility of their positions very heavily. In fact the six
standing committee of the assocation had been totally non-existent since the last meeting. No one was the wiser or the worse by reason of this fact, and probably would not have been if their election had been postponed again.
It used to be the custom years ago for a student who wanted to be particularly cultured to spend two or three years at Kansas University for some school of similar rank, and then go east to "finish his education." But you don't hear of that any more. Our graduates still go to the eastern schools where there are more opportunities for advanced research, but people have come to realize that in undergadge work Kansas University is the peer of most eastern schools.
Kansas and the East.
If you want opportunity for liberal culture, you can find them here. If you want instruction from the most scholarly and able men in language or science, you can find it here. The reputation of Snow, Dyche Williston, Blake, Blackmar is far from local. They are recognized as authorities in their lines, and through them the University of Kansas is recognized as an educational institution of which our state may well be proud.
Our museums are not inferior to any and contains many collections which the greatest universities in the land would be proud to have.
We have grown and we are growing and we keep abreast of the times. Our library of 30,000 books is not so large, but with the annual appropriation of $5,000 it is increasing.
Mrs Marvin's Death
The University and friends of Dean Marvin were surprised and pained last Sunday morning to hear of the death of Mrs. Marvin. She had been in poor health for years, but only a week before had her illness taken a serious turn. She had lived among us for twenty years, and though the state of her health had prevented her having a large circle of friends, the few who knew her intimately were bound to her by tender ties and will miss her greatly.
The state of Kansas has always been in the lead, and there's where Kansas University is right with her.
Her funeral services were attended by a large number of friends, last Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The interment took place at 4 o'clock, in the presence of the family and her nearest friends. The grave was beautiful trimmed in green and white, and the casket was covered with roses, several designs being sent by the University faculty and the school of engineering.

Roy Rodgers, a graduate of the engineering school of Kansas university, who has been located at Schenectady, New York, for some time, was brought home sick last night, and his condition is quite serious.
The widow of Col. John B. Anderson has received from Andrew Carnegie the assurance that he will build and endow a library for the Emporia college, Col. Anderson, who was the uncle of the late John A. Anderson, for many years a congressman from Kansas, once lived in Pennsylvania, and at that time Carnegie was a young man and was much at his house. Anderson had a fine library, and Carnegie used it to advantage. The library that Col Anderson had was given at his death to the college at Emporia, and now Carnegie is going to show his appreciation for the kindness of big friend by erecting a building for it, and endowing the library. It is a very handsome thing to do, and Kansas people will have a better opinion of Carnegie hereafter.

A O E Learnard, J L Brady, Ed Martindale, E F Caldwell, J S Churchill; Ge C *Bailey*, Judge Riggs, Charles Tucker, Rev Cordley, Geo Innes, Frank March, H B Pears, Chancellor Snow, O E Learned, Jr, Rev Gibson, N G Lennington, R C Manley, T J Swesney, J T Shanklin.
Captain Goss, of Linn county, a blind veteran, was making a talk at a reunion the other day when he remarked that Funston and the Twentieth boys were not by any means the first to swim rivers. He said: "We were in the mountains down in Arkansas. It was in the spring of 64 and the streams were swollen above their banks. We were obliged to cross a river and I led my company of seventy men into the stream. The current was swift and treacherous and it carried some of our boys down a mile or more, but we got across without the loss of a man. The Bag Bag incident, for which Funston's men are getting么 much praise, wasn't a circumstance to what we did. I beg your pardon," said Captain Goss, again rising to his feet and waving his hand, "I forgot to say that while Funston's men were going after the enemy, we were going the other way."
Mrs. Robert Putney, of Albuquerque, N. M., will be the guest of Miss Julia Shaw for a few days.

A student was carefully packing his trunk,
One beautiful September day,
A student was carefully passing the items
One beautiful September day,
And he frowned as he looked at his outfit
for school
Piled up in confusing array,
A new suit for football, another for golf,
For tennis and bicycle too.
With his hats and his canes were all
packed, but there still
Was some article lacking he knew;
With his forehead contracted and wrinkled
with care,
He hunted in crannies and nooks,
But he suddenly stopped and said, "Well
I declare
If I haven't forgotten my books."
If I haven't forgotten my books.

OPERA HOUSE, OCT. 12.
AMUSEMENTS
The great Herrmann is coming, is the welcome announcement it of the management of the Bowersock Opera House. Herrmann, with his marvelous sleight of hand, his sensational and awe-inspiring illustrations and his fun loving proclivities that have delighted and entertained the inhabitants of all the civilized communities on the globe. The world still has a child's heart in its love of mystery. It never wearies of what piques its curiosity or sense of wonder, and the magnificent entertainment which the Great Herrmann presents not only fills his audience with amazement, but leaves them in a state bordering on mental collapse. Leon-Herrmann is the greatest illusionist and master of magic of the present decade. For more than sixty years the name of Herrmann has stood for what is the best in the domain of magic, and the entertainment to be seen is in every way superior to the best ever given by the Herrmann companies. It would seem to be almost a work of supererogation to comment upon the entertainment to be given by the Great Herrmann. The great dailies of the country are united in praise of the performance. He will appear at the the Bowersock Opera House, October 12.
1
Several features of the Great Herrmann's performance at the Bowersock opera house next Thursday, October 12 are sure to prove highly entertaining. Herrmann not only will present an entirely new programme of slight of hand, but will also present for the first time in this city several startling illusions, among them "The Golden Butterfly" and "The Maid of the Moon" either of which is worth the price of admission alone. There is also with the company the four Luciens styled "The Monarchs of the Musical World" who give a thirty minutes' entertainment of high class music and singing, playing on numerous musical instruments. They were for many years at the head of their own company and their name is well known. "Luciens' Minstrels," and "Luciere' Concert Company" had an excellent reputation as artistic organizations. All this is in keeping with the Herrmann Companies as providing especially clean and wholesome entertainments.
The football season having been opened, we shall now very sooa be able to decide whether or not the American colleges are up to their usual high standard of culture. Lawrence Journal.
