It has often been remarked that new professors in the University assign much longer and more difficult lessons than professors who have long been identified with the school. The new professors are doubtless very enthusiastic in their work, but are often unfair to the students and to the remainder of the faculty.
The student body should be well represented at the Sanitary Convention which will be held in Snow Hall next Thursday and Friday. Dr. Johnson of St. Louis will be the principal speaker, and popers will be read by several members of the faculty All of the papers will be of general interest.
Mr. H. C. Avery will captain the football team of '99. He was chosen by the unanimous vote of the team. Mr. Avery is an enthusiastic player and has helped to fight many a hard battle on the gridiron for the glory of Kansas University. He will doubtless make a splendid captain and we may rest assured will always have the interests of the team at heart.
Nowhere is the growth of the University so apparent as in the chemistry department. The chemistry building is not large enough to accommodate all the students, and some of the classes meet in the basement of the main building. It has been proposed that Snow Hall be used by the pharmacy school and that the next new building be occupied by the biological department. This would prove very unsatisfactory, however, for Snow Hall is unadopted, by the arrangement of the rooms, to the most advantageous study of chemistry. What is needed is a new chemistry building and a museum.
The ill feeling which has gradually been springing up between those members of the faculty who hold forth in the main building and those of Snow Hall, has culminated in a challenge to a match game of basket ball to be played next Saturday west of Snow Hall. The different members of the faculty who will participate in the game will go into it with the avowed intention of slugging.
scratching and cloking. It will be a war to the death. There will perhaps be a lack of scientific playing but such a contest of bone and snow should not be missed by true lovers of athletic sport.

Have you been over to see Fowler Hall lately? If you have not, go over and see how the work has progressed in the last few weeks. The exterior of the building is almost complete and we can now see what a fine structure adorns the western part of the campus. Those who at first saw but a portion of the wall in process of construction and thought the rough finish appeared unattractive, will now need but to take a general view of the building, to see how much the broken surface adds to the general effect.
A temporary switch board has been set up, wires adjusted and electricity furnished for the other buildings. The currents light the other buildings and furnish power for the organ. Loads of machinery are arriving daily.
The massive furnaces are now in running order, and furnishing the power to run the extensive machinery with which the building is equipped. One engine of forty-ons horse power is at work and another of far greater power will be in operation in a few days.
AMUSEMENTS.
There are no dull periods. The action is terse, sharp and brisk. The entertainment embraces everything that is new and popular in the line of music, and it is the kind of high class merriment which never fails to cure the 'blues' and brain fag. 'The Real Widow Brown' is a big success.
"All the world loves a lover," and you will find the most ridiculous but perfessly natural complications, involving the mistaken identities of two lovers, merrily portrayed in "The Real Widow Brown," which will be seen at the Bowersock Opera House, Monday, Dec. 5.
