WITHOUT AMPLE FIRE PROTECTION.
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF NATURAL HISTORY SPECIMENS IN SNOW HALL.
Many Could Not Be Replaced-Unmounted Specimens by the Box-full-
The Mounting Done
This Year.
The University needs a fire-proof museum. Thousands of dollars worth of natural history specimens part of them mounted, the greater part stored away in boxes unmounted because of lack of room and facilities for their exhibition are now without ample fire protection.
These specimens have all been mounted under the personal supervision of Prof. Dyche and as far as artistic and scientific mounting are concerned could not be replaced for double their commercial value. There are other specimens whose like cannot be found in any museum in the world. The whole collection estimated conservatively at its commercial value is considered to be worth $55,000 but considering the superior mounting the Regents would probably not take double or treble that sum for it and yet if a fire should ever break out in Snow Hall this valuable museum, the pride of the University, the wonder and admiration of all its visitors, would be reduced to ashes. The campus is so far removed from the town that there would be little hope of the prompt appearance of the fire department and d even if there were, the fire in the boiler house proves that the fire-pressure on the c ampus is inadequate.
Few students realize the magnitude of the Dyche collection. The mounted specimens on exhibition look like a large collection and so they are. But one can get no idea of its real size without visiting the workshop. It consists of three large rooms each occupying one wing of the building, in other words, of three-fourths of the top floor of Snow Hall, and look in whatever direction you may in any of the rooms and you are surrounded by boxes and barrels and cases chuck full of skins, while in the north room above your head and running across the room are shelves piled high with skins cured and ready to be mounted. There are enough unmounted specimens stowed away on this third floor, so says. Prof. Dyche, to make a collection twice as large again as that now on exhibition. In other words were all these mounted it would take a building as large as Snow Hall to hold them all, and yet a sudden blaze and all would be ashes.
Nor are boxes and barrels the only things to be seen in this wonderful work shop. Here may be found specimens in all stages of mounting. As one enters by the south entrance he is confronted by a group of newly mounted seal captured on the last expedition. Walking into the north room on his left are seven young owls. This is the fist work done in young birds here and the department is very proud of it. On the right is a group of polar bear in all sorts of positions, while straight ahead are five walrus. But the east room is the most interesting of all for here are to be found two polar bears and a seal in process of being mounted And now a word as to the mounting. Prof. Dyche on his trips takes many photographs of animals' positions and so when the mounting is to be done it is not the result of fancy, but follows closely the natural position of the animal as revealed by the photograph. A frame is made following the picture closely, and with particular attention to the lines and ridges This frame is covered with excelsior and over it is drawn the skin. If it is desired to save the skull for purposes of study a wooden model of the skull is attached to the frame which when finished would deceive the wisest.
Here on this third floor Prof. Dyche and his assistant, Mr. Cole, may be found any day, and it is to them that the state is in debted for its newest mounted specimens.
NOW HERE'S A TEAM-
The K. U. Ineligibles—Stronger Than Any Team Yet Met by "Varsity— Game Between the Two Be- ing Arranged.
It is rumored that a ball game will be arranged between the 'Varsity ball team and a ball team to be called the "Ineligible." So many ball players have been declared ineligible udder the new amateur rules by the advisory committee that it is with this addition of a few men who did not try for the "Varsity this spring a team stronger than any yet could be formed.
Dale Gear is expected to be here early in June to take some "exams" in the Law school and the game will in all *probability* he played while he is in the city.
The team will probably be made up as follows: Catcher, Frank Curry; ex-captain Varsity; pitcher, Will Stanley '96; captain Varsity or Dale Gear, ex-captain Varsity, now with Kansas City Blues; firstbase, Dana McVicar formerly of Washburn or 'Billie' Games formerly of Baker, second base Lawrence Chamberblain, K. U., TopekaWinfield; short-stop, Gear or Stanley, third base, Burdick, '96 Varsity right field, Jim Snyder, '96 and '97 Varsity, manager '98, center field, Thatcher, left field Art Williams.
All these men are experienced ball players and with Gear or Stanley in the box and Curry behind the bat, together with the batting strength of the team—for this would be a team of hitters they could make it lively for the 'Varsity.
THE 'VAISITY GETS IN THE GAME
AGAIN
Take's a Game From Baker-Up Against it
Last Week
The Varsity got back into the Quad-rangular league race this week and took a game from Baker by the score of 13 to 2. The feature of the grime was the pitching of Ellis who had the Bakerites completely on his staff. Edmunson caught and did fairly well, his throwing to second being excellent. Housh led the team at the bat with three hits while ever man on the team rapped out at least one
In last week's trip the team seems to have been rather up against it. "We were robbed of the game," says Manager Snyder, at Emporia Friday. In the ninth inning with the score five to four in Emporia's favor and with one out, Griggs started to steal third. He was safe by three feet but the umpire called him out. That was bad enough, but worse was to come. Ellis who was at the bat hit the next ball for twobags, stole third, played way off the latter base and as the catcher threw to the pitcher, started for home. As he slid into home coming within about two feet of the base the catcher muffed the ball but immediately grabbed hold of Ellis and kept him where he was until the pitcher could run around, pick up the ball and tag Ellis. This the umpire also called out, making the last out of the game, and giving the victory to Emporia. As for the team we played, it was supposed to be the State Normal. Everyone knows, however, that when you play ball at Emporia you play against the same team whether it be called the Normal team, the College team, or town team.
'Then at Washburn the management played a soldier, a professional ball player, under an assumed name. The man's real name was Lee Grainly and he lives in Emporia. We heard all about his prowess as a ball player down there and what was our surprise on arriving at Topeka to find him on the Washburn team under the name of Gallaway He is not a student at Washburn at all but a member of the volunteer army. I saw him going back out to camp after the game. This game we shall protest. Kansas is living up to the very letter of her amateur rules and enforcing a scholarship standard while with the teams we played last week the policy is any team to win.'
To the Editor of the Weekly:
I am told that the statement was published some time ago, that I would have charge of the literary department in the editing of the Senior Annual. Since then, many inquiries have been made of me about the literary work to be printed in that book. On this account, it seems proper that I disclaim both responsibility and right to credit for what will appear in the literary part of the Annual. I resigned from the editorial board before that board began its work, and assumed and have had no control or supervision in the preparation of the book.
Respectfully,

THIS SETTLES IT.
GAME BETWEEN BAKER AND THE
'VARSITY ON THE MCOOK
FIELD WILL DECIDE
LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP.
Each Tram Has Won One Game from the Other- Nebraska Has Cancelled Her Game for That Day.
Of all the ball games of the season the most depends upon the third game between the Varsity and Baker next Monday, decoration day. The team was to have played in Lincoln on that day but the Nebraska management has cancelled the date and so the tie between Baker and K.U. may be played off on that day. The game is important for two reasons: First of all it settles the que tion of base ball supremacy between the two colleges. Last week with his faithful fans Baker came up here and surprised her as well as the "colts" and their admirers by administering a crushing defeat to the Varsity. Wednesday the Chancellor's pets turned the tables on the Methodists at their own strong hold at Baldwin. Now comes the final game and it will be blood.
In the second place the two teams are practically a tie for the quadrangular lege championship. If K. U. wins the game she wins the pennant.
These two facts ins re that each team will play its hardest. Both feel confident of victory but neither is overconfident, as each has tasted the sting of defeat at the hands of the other. As a result of the two things depending upon the game the force, not to say bitter rivalry between the two universities which has smouldered for the last few years with only an annual outbreak at the oratorical contest has broken out in full fury. Next week is commencement week at Baker. There will be no classes, and it is announced that the whole town and college will be here Decoration day to root their team on to victory. The following are the players and positions:
K. U. Position Baker
Ellis . pitcher Nuzman
Edmondson . catcher Wright
Swett first base Gassaway
Housh second base Cochran
McKay third base Games
Poorman short stop Rarey
Griggs left field Sissler

CHANCELLOR'S RETURN
The Chancellor is in receipt of a letter from Mr. George Fowler. Mr. Fowler proposes, since it has been decided to place the Fowler shops upon a conspicuous spot on the campus to take steps to insure the architectural "tractiveness of the structure, even if it does cost more. In place of the proposed slate roof Mr. Fowler now suggests a red tile roof. He is very anxious that the building should in every way be an ornament to the campus.
From a Week's Trip-Guest of Honor at
a Banquet of Science Men in St. Louis.
Banquet of Scientific Men in St. Louis.
The Chancellor returned Friday of last week from a week's trip, in time for the chancellor's reception that evening and for the Senior-Faculty game of the next day. Upon leaving here the Chancellor went directly to St. Louis, where he was the guest of the trustees of the Missouri Botanical Garden commonly known as Shaw's Gardens, at their annual banquet.
The Chancellor, as told in a previous issue of the WEEKLY, was the principal speaker at the banquet. He left St. Louis the early part of last week for Chicago, where he was three days engaged in business for the University.
On Saturday the Chancellor went to Quenemo where he delivered an address to the graduates of the high school. In that little town there were thirteen high school graduates, eight sof whom, strange to say were boys as against only five girls.

There are few prettier sights than an out door performance of one of Shakespeare's scenic comedies. These outdoor performances are a regular thing in many Eastern cities. Two of them, one of "As You Like It" and the other of "Mid-summer Night's Dream" have been given at Fairmount park in Kansas City with great success.
The wooded hollow north of the campus offers an ideal out-door ampitheatre and much interest is felt in the performance of "As You Like It" to be given there by the "Masque" commencement week.
