The University Glee Club made its first appearance, this school year, last Tuesday evening and was highly appreciated. The Glee Club should perfect its organization and a permanent feature of the University. There is an abundance of good material here and if it receives proper encouragement the University will not be without a Glee Club in the future.
Within a few days now the Senior Annual will be offered for sale. Every student should buy one. Some students think that the Annual is of interest only to seniors, but this is a mistake. There is such a large amount of matter of general interest in it that no student can afford to go home without a copy of it. In the first place it is a University Annual issued by the Senior classes of all the schools. It contains matter of interest to every student. Are you interested in athletics? The Annual gives a list of University Athletic records besides very fine half tones of all the athletic teams, an interesting account of each snort as it is found in the University, and the scores of games in which our teams participated. Do you care anything about society? In the annual you will find pictures and membership rolls of the different fraternities and social clubs. All University organizations are touched upon, in fact, there is no phrase of our college life which is not presented in the Annual. Prose and poetry give the book a literary tone. But after all one of the greatest reasons why every student should take home a copy of the Annual is that it presents life at the University in such a way that it will be of interest to parents and friends. Belojoy, buy an Annual and you will never regret it.
Does Kansas University realize what a wonderful, astonishing thing Fay Moulton did in the field meet Thursday afternoon? Does it realize what great honor it has in being able to number among its students the man who holds the world's amateur record for the 100 yard dash? Such is a fact beyond a doubt. Three men, who knew their business, one of them a man who has timed runners for years, held watches and the three watches agreed exactly in recording Moulton's time $9\frac{3}{4}$ seconds for the 100 yard dash. Not only is this true but what is more astonishing, he ran the distance twice in this record breaking time. Some of the officials could not believe it possible at first that Moulton ran 100 yards in that time and they had the ground measured and for a second time Moulton ran the distance in $9\frac{3}{4}$ seconds. There is just one thing that the faculty and students can do to discharge the debt of gratitude that they owe Mr. Moulton. It is to send him to Chicago to take part in the Field meet in which all the colleges and universities of the northwest participate the fear is so remarkable that of course there will doublesb be men who cannot believe it to be true. The only way to prove to the world that Kansas University has the fastest amateur runner for the distance of 100 yards, that the world has ever produced is for Mr. Moulton to demonstrate it at the inter collegiate Field Meet at Chicago. Such appreciation is due Mr. Moulton.
by the faculty and students and besides they can do nothing that will bring the University so prominently before the public and especially before the constituents of colleges and universities as sending moulton to Calicago and having him prove officially and beyond the doubt of any one that he holds the world's amateur record for the 100 yard dash.
The coming tennis tournament should be well attended, for it is practically the first attempt the University has made to have anything in this line. While this tournament may not be quite up to the standard yet it is no more than right that it should be well attended. All the classes in the Arts school will be represented and as the representative men have been practicing for a long time the contest will be spirited. In the past tennis has been neglected but let the University now take hold of it and make it a yearly event. It is manly sport. It teaches one quickness and agility and is one of the best exercises known.
Let every student be on the Faculty Tennis Courts Monday morning and help chear his class on the victory.

The career of Gao. T. Nicholson, passenger traffic manager of the Atchison, Topeka, & Santa Fe railroad, is such as to inspire railroad men when they see how great railway corporations reward genuine merit when they find it. Mr Nicholson's railroad career has been a series of rapid promotions as a result of the discovery that he ways always found to be the rightman in the right place. The Atchison, Topska & Santa Fe railway is a great corporation, one of the largest in the country, and the man who occupies the position of its passenger traffic manager is naturally a person in whom railroad men take considerable interest. Mr Nicholson is still a young man, being scarcely forty three years old, and counts of Quaker parentage. He was educated at the University of Lawrence, Kas, leaving the university at the end of the junior year to enter the office of his father, who about that time was made superintendent of Indian agencies for a large section of the west by the general government. Mr. Nicholson finally became chief clerk in the office and afterward went to Dakota, where he remained two years as chief clerk of the Yankton agency. Ke left the government service in 1881. In 1832 Mr. Nicholson entered the passenger department of the Atchison, Topska & Santa Fe railway as a rate clerk. He was rapidly promoted to the positions of chief rate clerk and chief clerk respectively. In March 1887, the position of assistant general passenger and ticket agent was created and given to Mr. Nicholson. In 1888 he was made general passenger and ticket agent, succeeding Mr. W. F. White, who then became traffic manager. In 1897 Mr. Nicholson accepted the position of general passenger agent of the 'Frasco line with headquarters at St. Louis Shortly after Mr. White's death Mr. Nicholson was called back to the Santa Fe and in May, 1898, entered upon his present duties as passenger traffic manager. His family consists of a wife and daughter. Mr. Nicholson's record in the Indian service was so high that flattering offers were made by the department at Washington to bring him to that city. His rapid rise in railroad circles is due to the same qualities that made him so successful while in the employee of the government, viz absolute integrity, a wide grasp of details, a wonderful memory and unerring judgment. It used to be said of him that he was a walking encyclopedia of all the rates ever made by the passenger department in the Santa Fe since his time. In dealing with the public and with the other railroads his chief characteristic is that of fairness. While Mr. Nicholson is a quite man he has never encountered opinions on all vital topics and does not hesitate to express them when it will do any good
--is the man who caters to the wants of the cheap man, the careless man, the ignorant man. We are not fishing for that class of trade. We like to print for particular people people who know what good printing is.

Music was furnished by Sommer's orchestra.

In the presentation Tuesday evening, of the little German comedy, Versalzen, by Benedix, the German department of the University scored a complete success. In the first place the selection of so simple a play was a wise one, the situation being indicated by the title "Versalzen," which may be fully readered into English by "The Oversalted Dinner."

The use of the pretty stage belonging to Unity club was secured through the kindness of Professor Carruth. Some of the accessories used were "made in Germany", and were loaned by German friends The excellent make ups were due to the skill of Mr. Abel Levy
charming young housewife, proud and happy over her first attempt at a dinner, changing swiftly to the petulant lady, over-sensitive to just criticism. Mr. F. W. Glick well sustained the trying part of the politely angry, but suffering spouse. Mr. Otis as the jocose bachelor friend of the latter was inimitable. Mr. W. B. Sutton represented perfectly the pomposi but good natured judge with his Latin quotations and high-sounding legal phrases. Miss Stella Case was excellent as the judge's emphatic, disputatious wife. While Miss Winslow Hutchinson was a dainty little housemaid, in her foreign lookout costume.
The audience, which was invited, included students of the German department and their German speaking friends in town. The latter were very appreciative of the evening's entertainment and many expressed their willingness to contribute toward a series of such plays by the German department. It is but just to say that the expense of this one is borne by Professor Carruth.
The advantage to the students of taking part in these plays is almost equal to a month's residence in Germany. It is to
be hoped that it may be possible to continue this valuable practice.
Ten years ago Professor Carruth bsgan to train his students in German dramas, one of which was presented to the public. But the rapid growth of his classes, with which the supply of instructors has never kept pace, prevented his carrying this work further. Professor Engel deserves great credit for undertaking to revive the German play. But this presentation would have been impracticable without the drill in "action" given by Mrs. Carruth, and the hours of labor in setting up and decorating the stage, freely given by a number of University students.

The evening closed with the singing of "Die Wacht am Rhein," in which the audience joined with a hearty good will.
Most acceptable music was furnished for the occasion by the three Misses Riggs, whose opening trio was very much enjoyed and by Miss Stemm who sang "Margarita."
