LAWRENCE, KAN., APRIL 22, 1899
Entered at the Lawrence Postoffice as second class mail matter.
The whole University was deeply shocked Monday by the news of the death of Mrs. Buchan. Mrs. Buchan was one of the most brilliant young women that ever graduated from this college, and the remarks of Prof. Du nlan, elsewhere in this issue, but reflect the feeling toward her of everyone who knew her.
The Jockey club is going to have a meet this year that will surpass anything of the kind in the past. The valuable prizes that are offered will bring out the best material in the University and the races will be highly entertaining. The proceeds go to the student loan fund and the Jockey club should have the hearty support of every one.
The University should be proud of her achievements in basket ball this last season. Basket ball had no recognition or athermes here at the beginning of this school year. But a number of teams were developed and many laurels won for the University before the closed season. This is a striking example of what determined effort and perseverance can do.
The ruling of the Board of Directors of the Athletic association will be satisfied by all who have the interest of the association at heart. The action by the Board was caused by the transferring, selling or loaning of membership tickets by the rightful holders, and by this means violating the conditions upon which the ticket was sold. The ticket, a certificate of membership, allows the owner the right of vote in the meetings of the association and also gives him, during the school year, the right of entrance to the athletic grounds. The single admission fees to the different events during the year usually amount to two or three times the cost of the membership ticket, and thus placing the ticket as low and allowing greater privilege to the holder, is to raise money in order to equip the foot ball team and pay other necessary expenses at the opening of the season. For these greater privili-
The organization of a boating club in Kansas University should be hailed with joy. Boating is a part of athletics that has always been ignored here' and for no reason. We have a very fine course on the Kaw river, and the facilities that the boat house can afford give ample opportunity for the development of boating in the University. In eastern colleges boating arouses more interest and enthusiasm than base ball, and vies with foot ball for supremacy. There one can win no greater honor in athletics than to belong to the victorious "eight" of his college. We have made a right move in the right direction. It is to be hoped that this is but the beginning of a great advancement in boating interests here. The present club has its membership limited to a small number. There are one thousand students in the University, and a number of such clubs should be organized, and contests held every year. There should be class and fraternity boat races the same as there are class and fraternity base ball games, and if boating receives the proper encouragement from faculty and students, this will be realised.
eges the owner is prohibited from transferring or loaning her rights. The taking up of these transferred or loaned tickets and the retaining of those already taken will cause the holders to be more careful in the future to heed the regulations governing the tickets.
The Death of Mrs. Lucinda Smith Buchan
Death has again come into our midst and removed from us one widely known and well beloved by both friends and acquaintances.
A few days ago a telegraphic message brought the word that Mrs. Buchan was dead in far-off Manila whither she had accompanied her husband in the prosecution of his duty. Mrs. Buchan had been in excellent health, as her home letters amply testified. Her cheerful nature was well reflected in what she wrote, and the tone was of courage and hope. There was nothing to indicate gloom or depression of spirits, but on the contrary, there was a brave trust, the memory of which is today very precious to her friends. As it was not known that she had been ill the shock came with the greater force. Probably the insidious effects of a tropical climate, and the nervous tension resulting from the excitement of life where war is being carried on, wrought the dread result.
The news came with a suddenness and an unexpectedness which leaves the shock upon us still, and the question is ever upon our lips, "Can this be true?"
Mrs. Buchan was well known in the University and in the community at large. Her home was in Lawrence for many years where she has a wide circle of friends. She was a graduate of the University, of the class of 1895, and was a member of the Pi Beta Phi fraternity. She won a fine reputation as a student and was faithful and earnest in all she undertook to do. She had a scholar's tastes and inclinations, and with her fine sense of duty, she easily attained distinction in her studies. She served acceptably in the department of English and did her assigned work with care, precision and satisfaction. Possessing unusual abilities, studious habits and excellent taste, she readily acquired a considerable degree of culture which added greatly to her native charm of disposition. But her intellectual culture was not all. At the foundation was her character, her fine sense for conduct, for duty, for obligation, for responsibility in her relationships to other people. Added to this, she was unworldly and unselfish, with thoughts and plans for others rather than for herself. In all this, she was noble and womanly, with a kind of stalwartness by means of which she easily imparted strength to other people. She was always a helper in some way or other. Her bright sunny disposition dispelled gloom and always brought cheer. Up to the day of her death, she had lead a life of simplicity, following always where duty seemed to call her. Conviction and duty were her monitors. She never tried toade a duty or to shik a responsibility.
gret and years.

Unequalled lot below."
As far as her life had gone, it was perfect, harmonious, and well rounded. After all, what can we say of those who reach old age? Experience, character, conduct, all indeed that enters into that complex fabric which we call life is not measured by years, but by an intensity, a fervor, a zeal, which may be crowded into a few earthly years. So this life, with its aspirations was not in vain, as it was harmonious. Her friends mourn the interruption of this beautiful life, yet they rejoice at the fulness and the perfection of the years granted to her who is now no more. Our mute question remains unanswered and we can only wait until God in his good season, solves the great enigma. Influence does not die, and Mrs. Buchan's memory is firmly enshrined in the hearts of her friends and of those who came under her sway.

Friday evening one of the prettiest parties of the year, took place when the members of the Junior class gave their annual promenade to the Seniors and members of the faculty. Pythian hall was very elaborately and tastefully decorated, the class colors, green and white, being used most effectively. Around the four walls the colors were draped and on the north side an arbor of green and white bunting, draped with lights, was arranged. At the east were the figures '99 outlined in the electric lights. Large American flags were draped at the west end and along the south side. The chandeliers were wound with the class colors and hung with electric lights. The guests were received by Misses Bess Maynard, Cora Peck, Virginia McCryory and Gertrude Hill. Messrs. Clarence Klise and Anthony Buzzi. Steinberg's orchestra of Topeka, furnished the music for the dancing, which began at 10 o'clock. The grand march led by Mr. Clarence Klise and Miss Bess Maynard began at 9 o'clock and very dainty souvenir programs were given out by Miss Hill and Mr. Buzzi. For the early part of the evening a very entertaining program was arranged. Mr. Perl Decker gave a very interesting reading. Miss Virginia McCryory played a violin solo. Prof. Adams gave an address Mrs. Cora McCullum Smith one of her delightful readings. Throughout the evening wafers and ice were served. As the Junior Promenade has always been one of the most successful society events, the one this year was no exception and will long be remembered.

A. SHORE SCN
A large and very appreciative audience greeted Miss Lichtenwalter in University Hall Thursday evening in the recital given by her as a special number of the Pipe Organ series. She has been heard in Kansas City and other towns but this was her first appearance in a recital before a Lawrence audience since her return from study in Germany. The marked improvement in her playing was commented upon by everyone. The beauty of her tone color was truly artistic and her strength as shown in the Bach-Tansig Toccata and Fugue was surprising. The originality of Miss Lichtenwalter's interpretation was especially marked in the dainty and almost transparent effect of the Mosckowski Bereau and also in the bold and coquetial spirit of Prof. Preyer's Impr omptu. Rubenstein's E flat Etude with its splendid beavura style was beautifully rendered.
