LAWRENCE, KAN., FEB. 4, 1899.
The officers of the Kansas University WEEKLY beg leave to submit this issue of the paper as their first effort. They also wish to thank the stockholders for their support in the recent election. With the united support of the Kansas University professors and students, they will try to make the paper one of which those connected with the University may well be proud.
The object of this paper will be to uphold everything which will be of benefit to the University, while its motto will be "The champion of the interests of Kansas University."
In another column will be found the prospectus of a series of ten entertainments to be given by the University extending over a period of four months. This series of educational entertainments is entirely different from anything herefore given. The series consists of lectures and concerts, and each number is given by someone connected with the university. They are unique in that they are all historica and are illustrated by the use of lantern slides. The first number, is a song recital by Mr. Joseph Farrell, assisted by the music department of the fine arts school. Seven of the numbers are given by Prof. Penny, and are illustrative of the history of church architecture and church music, showing their process from the early temples and music of Abraham's day to the present cathedral and cathedral music. Professor Burdiet of the Law school, will deliver a lecture on ancient and modern Rome, and Professor Carruth, head of the German department, will lecture on "The Mestersingers." Professor Penny, in his series of lecture-concerts, will be assisted by some of the leading musicians of the state among them. Whiteside of Hutchinson, Mr. Farrell, Mr. Preyer and Mr.Van Dahlenh of Topea. This course of ten entertainments has been placed in the reach of all students by the nominal price of $1.00 for the entire series. The educational value alone of these concerts and lectures will be many times in excess of the price of the tickets, while the pleasure they will afford should counteract all cost. As there has been no lecture course here this winter, this should be taken advantage of by the students and should receive their most hearty support. Much smaller colleges are supporting, successfully, lecture courses, and why not Kansas University do the same?
The oratorical contest was held Wednesday evening in the University chapel, and there was one discouraging feature about it. There should have been more candidates for the honor of representing our great University in the state oratorical contest. The contestants had splendid orations and Mr. Elliott will go to Ottawa backed by a strong delegation of students that will cheer him on to victory. But more students should have availed themselves af the opportunity to train themselves in speaking, and in writing orations. It is of great importance to be able to speak and write well and this can only be attained by practice. Let us not become so engrossed in our studies that we will neglect this important part of our education.
We are glad to see basket ball come to the front in our University Athletics. It is a game which has great possibilities
for giving the student body exercise and takes a place which none of our other athletic sports can fill. Let the faculty students continue to give the game their strong support, and it will be a great benefit to the students and an honor to the University.
The Athletic Association on adopting the new constitution saw fit to re-open the sale of shares, and hopes the students will take advantage of the opportunity to buy season tickets, and at the same time swell the funds of the association.

Moot Court
Prof. Burdick of the Law school called the two classes together on Friday, January 13th, at 2 o'clock in the east law room, for the purpose of organizing a moot court.
Regular court officers were elected and Prof. Burdick was made judge in order to insure more interest in the work. At the next meeting a week later, in the same place, Prof. Burdick took the time to give the students a very interesting and beneficial lecture on procedure.
At the next meeting which was held yesterday, a case was tried which proved to be of great benefit to all present and which gave assurance of great things coming from the work.

Prof. Burdick is to be praised for the way he has entered into the moot court work and the help he is giving the students in a branch that has been sadly neglected in the University for some time.

Where a cannibal monarch held sway,
Once a Freshman was wrecked on as African coast
And they served up that Freshman is slices on toast.
On the eve of that very same day.
But the vengeance of heaven followed swift on the act
And before the next morning was seen,
By the cholera morbus that tribe was attacked,
For that Freshman was dreadfully green.
