LAWRENCE, KAN., MARCH. 11, 1899
The baseball manager and captain are working hard to secure games and are anxious to see every man that ever played ball, come out and try for the team as soon as the season is over.
The preliminary contest for the Kansas-Missouri debate was a success. But the number of Arts students in the contest was a disappointment. There is no other work in the University that is of more practical good. Arts students as well as Laws should avail themselves of these opportunities.
The new educational law is a great thing for the University and colleges and public school education in Kansas. Under it there will be various institutions throughout the state that will be able to prepare teachers for their work. This will afford many who would otherwise find it impossible, an opportunity to take the course and thereby help the colleges and be a benefit to the public schools.
In another column is an account of what some of our alumni are doing. Kansas University is always glad to hear from those who have been numbered among her students, and learn of their success and achievements. Well may she be proud of them for they are a credit and an honour to her. Wherever they go, whether to Boston or Harvard or into active life, they immediately forge to the front and command respect and recognition.
The course of lanten slide lectures being given by the University is very instructive and beneficial for those who admire architecture and music, but it has one drawback, namely to long. When the number of illustrations are extended over ninety or 100, the lecture becomes tiresome, and the audience loses interest and grows impatient. To retain the entertaining features of these lectures the time should be limited to two hours at most, and the number of views cut down accordingly.
Let us rejoice over our good fortune at the hands of the legislature. We could have used a larger appropriation to good advantage for we are in sore need of many things, not least of which is a gymnasium. But it is impossible for the state to satisfy all our wants at once. The legislature has proven its good will toward us by giving us the largest appropriation in our history, and by so doing shows that the people of Kansas are interested in our welfare and are desirous of placing us in the foremos rank of western universities.
The question of graduate coaching in football for the western colleges is one which comes up now and again and just now with particular vigor. Casper Whitney in the last Harper's Weekly lamentes the fact that the Missouri Valley universities have not begun to utilize the material they have at hand, and build up a strong system. He rejoices over the action that has been taken by Kansas so far, and says that Kansas is indefatigible, and what she sets out to do is usually accomplished, sooner or later. Since that time we have taken a decided step, as the board this week decided upon
having a graduate or student coach. This is in the right direction and will show good effects in the future if not at once.

The University Quarterly
The Sigma Xi society recently appointed a committee to examine the affairs of the University Quarterly, especially the matter of exchanges, with the view of ascertaining whether or not the publication is a profitable one for the University, and whether or not the maintenance of the periodical is a wise expenditure of public funds. Some facts presented in this report are of general interest.
The Quarterly now receives regularly exchanges from 203 societies and forty-one individuals. Of these 93 have been added during the year, ending October 1st, 1898. Many of these exchanges are of such a character that it is difficult to represent their value in dollars and cents. Indeed, some of them could not be bought in the open market, and yet are indispensable in many lines of investigation carried on by both faculty and students.
G. F. GODDING.
The assets of the publication have been estimated as follows;
Bound volumes, exchanges,$1000
Suburbs volumes, exchanging:
Unbound volumes, exchanges, (936 vols)
$ \textcircled{14} $ 14
Complete volumes on hand, 200, $500.
Exchange volumes, 124, $250.
Sets of Quarterly on hand, $1500
Total assets, $5500.
The amount appropriated by the regents for the establishment and maintenance of the Quarterly for the last seven years has been a total of $3,490, so that the income exceeds the expense by $2,190. Inasmuch as the exchange list has so largely increased only in the last year, the net gain in the future will be at a more rapid rate than shown above.
This favorable showing is very largely due to to the efforts of Professor Wagner, who, without any special encouragement, has extended the circulation of the Quarterly and made it so widely known that there is an increasing demand for it on the one hand and greater ease in securing exchanges desired on the other. The increased circulation is also a tribute to the character of the contents of the Quarterly which ought to stimulate those who have contributed to its pages and induce a larger number of our advanced students to do work worthy of record there. What is there printed goes to the great thought centers of the world and falls under the eyes of some of the great thinkers. It is therefore an honor to be represented in its pages.

In the hall a daunty, cosy corner was fitted up, where light refreshments were served. The nature of entertainment was a "Riley Evening." Mrs Cora McCullom Smith gave several interesting readings from James Whitcomb Riley, and quotations were handed around and each person was to guess from which of Riley's poems the quotation was taken. The guests were received by Misses Barth, Slocum, Dixon and Scammon, Messrs. Withington, Tilford, Reenn and McFarland.

The Sophomores have always been especially nited sor their pleasant way of entertaining and Saturday evening will not make an exception.

I enclose the headline of the Denver Times, containing an account of the Bench and Bar of Colorado. Among the lawyers mentioned I know three K. U. Students, viz: Walter W. Davis, a phi Kappa Psi. Jo A. Fowler, a charter member of the Kansas Alpha of Phi Delta Theta, and Chancelor T. Morgan, law, '93, all three of whom are a credit to Kansas University.
Thinking that the WEEKLY might be glad to get the items, I enclose them. You're True!
CHANCELLOR T. MORGAN,
Jo. A Fowler was born in Illinois, in 1857, and received his education at Normal, Ill., and the State University of Kansas. He taught school for a time in Illinois and in 1883 came to Colorado. Here he continued teaching until he entered the office of J. Warner Mills, where he stuled law, being admitted to practice in 1890. For the five years succeeding his admission he continued in the office of Judge Mills, and then engaged in business by himself, making a speciality of county government, which was made sossible by his position as special counsel for Yuma county, which he has held for the last five years. During g that time he haf had considerable important county litigation, and at the present time has a large bond suit pending in the United States district court. Mr. Fowler has rapidly forged to the front in his branch of the law and has the confidence of his clients as well as the bench with which he has been associated.

Judge Chancellor T. Morgan of La Plata County, is a native of the Blue Grass state. He was born at Hazard, May 10, 1871, and received his education at the University of Kansas, being admitted to practice in 1893. Believing in the possibilities of Colorado he came to Durango and commenced practice at once. In 1895 he was chosen for the county bench and will go out in January, not having bribera candidate for re-election. Mr. Morgan is but 24 years of age, which makes him the youngest judge in the state. His specialty is probate business, and he has not only gotten far past the "starvation period" in law, but built up a large practice

WALTER W. DAVIS.
Among the large class of attorneys who choose ratner to settle their cases out of court where such a course is possible, and who succeeded in building up a large office practice which seldom comes to the ken of others than their clients, is Walter Wesley Davis of Leadville, Mr. Davis was born in Decatur, Ill., in 1863, and obtained his education at the Kansas University at Lawrence. He first took law lectures at the California Law school, San Francisco, afterwards graduating from the Columbia Law school at Washington, in 1892, and being immediately admitted to the bar. Coincident with his legal work during 1892-93 he took occasion to complete a post graduate course at his alma mater, and earned the degree of LL. M. The following year he removed to Kansas City and entered into a partnership with L. A. Laughlin under the firm name of Laughlin & Davis. Becoming connected with mining litigation at Leadville, he moved there in order to attend to it. Here he has made a specialty of mining real estate, and corporation law.
