Missouri lost out in the rush.
Convocation, like all other university ventures, received only a partial support of the faculty.
The effort to rule out professionalism in athletics in the University has been highly successful.
The location of the University loses much of its attractiveness on such wintry days as we have experienced this week.
From a financial standpoint this year's season in football was a success. Enough money has been raised to nav off the debt of the Athletic Association.
The first "Convocation" proved an unqualified success. If the approval and desire of the student body is to be considered we will have more of them.
The Phi Psi played some very dirty football with the High school last Saturday. They resorted to all the low practices that are known to football men, but even then were unable to win.
The business men of Lawrence have ever proved friends of the University. It was through their generous contributions that the band was enabled to go to Kansas City with the team.
Professor Vickery has been making a great effort to arouse enthusiasm in oratory and debate in the University, and his efforts have been attended with a considerable degree of success. The free entertainments are meeting with increasing favor.
We look upon the Thanksgiving game with gratification. Not only because we gained the victory, but also because there was a total absence of slugging. Such games add much to the attractiveness of football, and unite the members of the opposing teams in close friendship.
It is much to be regretted that Mr. Leland was unable to arrange a better series of games for the team. All but two of the games were purely local. We would have wished that our team might have been pitted against those of some more eastern schools. The value of the games as an advertisement would be inestimable.
The football season is over and we have demonstrated that we have the best team in the west. Only one defeat mars the otherwise glorious record of the Varsity. Nebraska came upon us when we were in the midst of hard luck, but we still insist that we have the superior team, despite the fact that she defeated us by a score of 18 to 6.
The Latest Sensational French Play.
Cyrano De Bergerac, by Edmond Ros tand, which is being played in this country by Richard Mansfield and in England by Henry Irving, is just brought out in a dainty, handy, cloth bound volume at the price of 35 cents, and a cheaper paper edition at 15 cents, by Hurst & Co., New York. the well known cheap book publishers. They will send it post paid, or it may be had at all dealers. It is generally pronounced the play of the year, and some critics rank it close after Shakespeare's masterpieces.

THE HISTORY OF A CALL.
"Oh, elections don't interest me," she answered, setting back in her chair like a school girl waiting for the next question.
After a short silence he ventured, "Don't you approve of woman's suffrage?"
"No, not at all," and she looked out at the window vacantly.
He sighed inwardly and looked out too. He tried to think of another subject but his mind was as barren as an Arabian desert.
A clock somewhere behind him became very anxious to help the conversation along, and ticked louder and louder, till the noise was intense. He was surprised. He had not noticed the clock before. He looked at her. She was still looking out at the window, intensely interested in nothing. He peeped over his shoulder at the clock. It was not larger than a twenty-five cent piece.
"Why, what a curious little time-piece!
he exclaimed.
His surprise was honest for he had expected to see a clock with a face as big as a wagon wheel.
"Isn't it sweet?" she replied looking deliciously pretty. "My uncle gave me that when I was only 5 years old."
"It is so old as that?" He was so happy at having roused her interest that he said the very thing he didn't mean to.
"So old as that!" and she looked hurt.
'On, but it's so little—I mean it looks young—I mean—I don't mean—I mean—' he stopped unable to explain what he did mean.
She looked out of the window again and said nothing. He also looked out of the window and also said nothing—that is, nothing that she could hear. To himself he preached a sermon. He scolded himself and searched his brain till his head ached, but thoughts—even flighty ones—refused to come, and his tongue clove to the roof of his mouth. He tried to say something about literature, but he couldn't recall the name or plot of a single book that he had read. Of art, he couldn't remember a painting or a painter; of history, he was perfectly innocent. He got a queer sensation in his side and his arm went to sleep. He twisted round a little to get a more comfortable position and struck a book on the edge of the table. The book fell with a loud crash. She screamed and put her hands to her ears. "Oh, did I frighten you?" he asked, apologetically.
"Yes, awfully."
Now was his opportunity to introduce a splendid subject. "Maybe you have heart trouble," he suggested.
Yes, awfully.
"Are you worried?"
G. F. GODDING.
"Are you very nervous?"
"Not that I know of."
"Mamma says I am."
"But everyone has heart trouble at sometime in life, you know."
"Oh, is that so?" I didn't know that;but then I don't know anything at all about medicine." She settled back and looked out of the windows as though she never expected to speak again.
He felt despondent and did the only thing he could think of—looked out the window. He began to wish he were somewhere else, but how to get there he had no idea. He wished something would happen—a runaway or dogfight or anything—and he waited and waited

The smoke from a neighboring flue cast a faint, fitting shadows in at the window.
He thought it was a cloud. An idea popped into his mind. May be it was going to storm
"Do you think it well rain soon?" he asked, trying to look anxious.
"Not today."
"You must be mistaken," she answered.
"Why, there isn't a cloud to be seen."
And she spoke truly, "But probably,
she continued, not giving him time to entangle himself further, 'probably you are thinking of the storm of meteors that is to occur at a 'clock'."
"That's it, that's it, thats it," he interrupted, rising very hurriedly. "I promised to be at the observatory. I had entirely forgotten it. Thank you for reminding me."
"But didn't someone predict a change of weather?"
"To watch for the meteors," she asked, looking puzzled.
"I'm sure somebody predicted a storm for this afternoon," he insisted looking still more anxious.
"I hadn't heard of it."
"Well," answered Jack, "all I know is that the morning paper said there would probably be a shower of meteors about 4 o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Jack," said he to his room- mate ten minutes later, "tel me something of these meteors that people are talking about."
"It is ten minutes of 4 now and I have a mile to walk. Really, I must go. Good day." As he hurried out he thought he heard a faint "Call again," but of that he was never quite certain.
"Yes, really I have an appointment "
"But the meteors are not expected till
4 o'clock—"
'Good heavens!'

A GREAT SUCCESS.
The Salisbury Grand Concert was given in the Opera House last Friday evening, Nov. 18, to a crowded house. While the audience was distinctly a down-town audience, yet there was a fair sprinkling of students. Never was sweeter music listed to in Lawrence and the audience was at all times appreciative and at times enthusiastic. Miss Abbey Rose Wood, the soprano, and Miss Monroe, the Contralto, aquitted themselves to the satisfaction of all. Under the masterly leadership of Mr. Salisbury, the orchestra rendered the different numbers in a most acceptable manner. The descriptive numbers, "The Clock Store," and "The Fall of Santiago" were applauded to the echo. The next number of the Star Course will be Hon. John Temple Graves, January 12. This will be followed by Col. Ham, the humorist, in February.

"I commend it to all as the one great standard authority."
