LAWRENCE, KAN., FEB. 25.1899.
Let all students keep in mind that the masque will present Othello Friday evening, March 3. None can afford to miss it.
The legislature will probably pass the bill providing for a fire equipment for the University. It is something that we have long been in need of.
The continued cold weather is interfering with base ball practice and the players will have to work all the harder when warm weather does come.
One of the greatest of educational advantages in reach of the students is the course of entertainments which is being given by members of the faculty and under the supervision of the officers of the University, yet very few are making use of this course. To all students, and especially those interested in music, we might say that this course is invaluable. Two numbers have been given and if the remaining numbers keep up the same grade, this series will offer one of the finest courses ever given at the University. The students seem to think that anything given at the University outside of their regular work is mainly to obtain their money, that they must practice economy in order to complete their education. This is generally true of entertainments, concerts, and lectures given by foreign companies and lecturers; but this is entirely different. Here is a course given by members of the faculty, assisted by some of the music students, at a very low price, merely enough to pay for lighting and heating, containing a vast store of information, that by paying out such a small sum for this course of ten lectures, a student would receive as much information and retain it longer, since the lectures are pictured out before his eyes, as he would acquire from a half a dozen books. The students do not know what they are missing. We believe that if the managers would give a free entertainment say, like the one given Tuesday evening the students would come out and see for themselves, and from henceforth they would be regular attendants.

ORGAN LECTURE-RECITAL
Professor Penny Biggs His Series o
Lectures on the Evolution of
Christian Architecture and
Sacred Music.
The first of the series of organ lecture-recitals, the second number of the course of educational entertainments, was given in the University chapel Tuesday evening to a very small audience. The lecture-recital was conducted by Mr. George B. Penny, dean of the Fine Arts department, assisted by the chapel choir, the Freshman vocal class, and the St. Cecilia society. The entertainment is one of the series of seven lectures given by Mr. Penny upon the evolution of Christian architecture and sacred music.
The first lecture dealt with the early temple architecture and music from Abraham to Christ. Every phase and change in the evolution of architecture and musical instruments was illustrated by a large number of screen pictures.
The entertainment opened with an organ and chorus selection from Handel's "Creation," together with illustrations on the screen of the creation of the world from "Chaos" to the "Fall of Man," and the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the garden of Eden.
Mr. Penny then lectured on the types of the primitive musical instruments and the early fomes of architecture. Concerning the early musical instruments, there were three types, percussion, as the timbul or drum, wind, as the pipe or flute, and the string or the harp. The first, the percussion, is the same today, namely, the drum and cymbal's; while the wind instruments have evolved until we have the modern pipe organ; and the stringed instrument, such as the lyre, has become the pianoforte.
The three forms of architecture, the intel, or square frame, the round arch, and the pointed arch were best illustrated by the "Parthenon," at Athens, "St. Marks" it Venice, and "Notre Dame" at Paris, respectively.
He showed that there were also three types or forms of musical composition, following and being closely related to the three architectural forms.
He then passed to the discussion of the architecture and music of the Chaleleans and Assyrians, and gave illustrations of the buried cities of those ancient countries, of Nippur (restor ed) the oldest temple in this world, and of the early musical instruments.
He called attention to the fact that in many of the ancient bas-reliefs the percussion sounds were represented by the clapping of hands.
Part two of his lecture dealt with Egyptian architecture and music, and then he passed to Palestine and Jerusalem, where were shown Solomon's temple and the later temples.
In parts two and three were introduced the organ and chorus in assisting him to represent the "March of the Sons of Ham from Chaldea to Egypt," by Rubenstein, the "March of the Sons of Shem from Chaldea to Palestine." by Rubenstein. "O Isis and Osiris," by Mozart, and several other of the screen pictures.
The recital concluded with the selection of "Nazareth" by Gounod, by the grand chorus.
The next lecture-recital will be given Tuesday evening, February 28, when Mr. Penny will discuss the architecture and music 'From Augustine to Charlemagne'.
It has been said that all things come to him who waits. Certainly about such experience comes to the attendant at University chapel. From the silent prayers of last week it was soul-refreshing to turn in with Rev. D. W. McQuiston in fervent prayer Christian love has been the theme' of the week except Friday morning when the topic was Elocution in the University of Kansas.
At Chapel.
Monday morning I John second chapter, was the basis of talk, on the importance of Christian love. This was followed by the consideration of the nature of Christian love Tuesday when John 15 was used for scripture lesson. That familiar corner stone of all church and lodge creed, Corinthians 13 led to the closing thoughts, the source of Christian love. A beautifully presented illustration of the fountain and its source served to impress the truth that the source of love is God and "He is the way, the truth, and the life."
At the regular meeting of "Der Deutsche Verom" Friday, the 17th, Mrs. W. H. Carruth delivered in German an exceedingly interesting and instructive lecture on "Freytag and His Works." The Verein was delighted with the talk and the pleasing manner of the speaker, and on motion tendered Mrs. Carnuth an unanimous vote of thanks. Her characterization of Freytag's works and her evident appreciation of them caused an involuntary desire on the part of many of the hearers to learn more of the many valuable books of this gifted author.
Der Deutsche Verein
The marriage of Mr. Hubert C. Avery to Miss Nellie V. Criss took place last Sunday evening at the home of the bride's parents on Tennessee street. The wedding ceremony was performed by Rev. W. E. Brehm of the English Lutheran church, after which a dainty wedding dinner was served. Both the young people were well known in University circles. Mr. Avery being captain-elect of the football team. The announcement of the wedding was a great surprise to their friends, but hearty congratulations are extended by all who know them.

KENT CLUB.
At the regular session on last Saturday, Mr. Barrow gave an excellent declamation, and Mr. Johnson conducted a parliamentary quiz, R. P. B. Wilson spoke from a non-partisan standpoint upon "The Political Outlook."
Attorneys Landers and Lyons, for the affirmative, and Attorneys McGill and Lane, for the negative, discussed the following question: 'Resolved. That the Caar's Policy of Disarmament of Europe Is Not Practical at the Present Time.' This was without doubt the most interesting debate of the Kent club during the term. Each debater well understood the question, and every point was gained only after a stubborn resistance of the opposing speaker. The decision was rendered for the affirmative. After the debate Mr. Hyatt delivered anamusing extempore speech. Mr. Hyatt reported that President McKinley's portrait would soon be received by the Kent club

FOWLER SHOP NOTES
The marble for the new switch board has arrived but must be drilled to receive the instruments before being put in place.
Mr. Ward has received a number of large twist drills for heavy work, also several boxes of tools for the forge room.
A bill that will surely be passed by the legislature, is one appropriating $5000 for a new fire pump for the shops. This will add materially to the equipment as well as afford a protection to the University buildings in general.
A granitoid side walk from the main building to the shops would be appreciated by all, especially in muddy weather.
The general interest taken in the shops is attested by the number of visitors that daily visit them and this is especially noticeable from the fact that the lady visitors are quite as numerous as the gentlemen. Some of them seem a little timid and do not venture far from the door, however let none feel that they are in the way or unwelcome. Those in charge are always glad to give any information concerning the work or machinery.
A new torsion testing machine from the Olsen Company, Philadelphia, is expected to arrive soon. With this machine, the machines in use and one the department expects to build, Prof. Palmer hopes to have a set of machines capable of making exhaustive tests of all materials commonly used in construction work.
The Samens & Halske Company, Chicago, builders of the electric motors used in the machine rooms, have had an expert here investigating the cause of the noise these motors make when in operation. Just what conclusions their man arrived at is not known; however, it is expected that the company will remedy the objectionable feature in some manner.
