If Mr. Elliott wants anything just tell him to speak, we are sure he will get it.
The pre-Lentem social season passed off without any obnoxious bibulous features much to the chagrin, no doubt, of certain Lawrence correspondents.
"You are all right young man. Keep on making short sentences, digesting your meals, trusting in God, and betting on man, and you will be happy. That is the sum of all philosophy." Such was William Allen White's comment on Mr. Elliott's oration, as a judge on thought for our contest. Mr. White appears to know a good oration when he sees it, even if he can't tell patent leathers from glazed rubbers.
No, the date of publication has no been changed from Saturday to Tuesday. The Weekly has the promise of the Journal Company that last week's delay will not be repeated. From the experience of last week, it might seem that but little trust could be placed in the promises of of that company. However we have reason to believe that there will be a disaposition on their part to live up to their contract in the future and that we may be safe in assuring subscribers prompt and regular issues from now on.
Bottl, Your W.ah.
It is unfortunate that so much bitter feeling has been aroused in one of the literary societies over the selection of the Kansas-Nebraska debaters. Of the merits of the controversy in the Adelphic the WEEKLY knows nothing. For the sake of the showing we hope to make in the debate, however, any dissension in our own camp is to be extremely regretted. The reference of the matter to the council will undoubtedly prove the way out of the difficulty. Either party at present seems disposed to recede one jot from its position. To tell the truth both sides have completely lost their temper. The WEELKLY has every confidence in the ability of the Council to fairly and equitably straighten out the controversy. It should be borne in mind by all parties, that the council has no per oral feeling in the matter, and it is to be hoped that whatever their decision the opposing factions will realize that the council has only the success of the University at heart, and that whatever the outcome, both parties will bottle their wrath, and save their invective and fire for Nebraska.
Inter-Collegiate Track Meet.
A Kansas Inter-Collegiate Track meet to be held in Lawrence in the spring was arranged yesterday at a meeting of representatives of Kansas colleges. Full particulars will be given next week.
Mr. Greider Goes to El Dorado.
W H. Greider left school, Monday morning to accept the principalship of the High school at El Dorado. There are eighteen teachers in the schools, three of which are in the High school. The position was obtained entirely upon Chancellor Snow's recommendation and all agree that his selection was a wise one.
Mr. Greifer came to Kansas University less than a year ago. He then had thirteen term's work to do in order to graduateate him but he began to plan his work with that end in view. He met discouragement on every hand, for no one believed he could do it. Nevertheless he persisted in being given a fair opportunity. Finally Prof. Carruth gave him permission to enter the last half of the second term's German, though he had never done my work in German at any school. At the end of this term he took the final examination, making a grade of one. Then he took on the first term's work with like result. In like manner he has disposed of so much work that he can now be absent three months and still graduate with the class in June.
Mr. Greifer has proved himself one of the strongest students Kauasas University has ever had and we are sure he will honor the school wherever he goes.

AYONG THE COLLEGES
It is feared the Yale ball team will be weak in battery work, but four candidates for pitcher and four for catcher having shown up Among the candidates for pitcher, is Cadwalader, the big Yale guard.
The University of California won the annual debate with Stanford.
Michigan social circles have their troubles also. The co-eds have retaliated upon the boys for inviting out-of-town girls to the Junior "Prom" by petitioning the faculty to prohibit the use of tobacco by the students.
There is a possibility that a University of Wisconsin crew may row in an eastern college regatta this spring.
At a recent meeting of the Faculty of Amherst it was decided that all cases of dishonesty in examinations, when discovered, should be at once reported to the Faculty, and in no case suppressed, and that the minimum punishment for each offence should be suspension for one college term.
The Faculty of the Medical department of the University of Michigan has advanced the requirements for admission, the change to take place in 1901. Students entering then will have to present the equivalent of from one to two years' work in the literary department. The combined literary and medical courses, which now take six years for completion, will then be extended to seven years
The University of Nebraska regents have appropriated $25 for the Senior Annual.

they will receive. Although they cannot eradicate every wrong, they can arouse the slumbering conscience of humanity.
ELLIOTT WINS.
(Continued from page 1.)
In their hands rests not only their own destiny, but the future of humanity. Then will be realized not "the dream of the scholar, poet and philosopher." then will be developed not an Utopian civilization, but a vigorous, aggressive, self-governing people, ready to grapple with any question, able to overcome any opposition and determined that liberty and equality shall prevail.
Mr. House of Kansas University sang it his usual good style "The Great American Sphinx" was the subject of the next speaker, Mr. E. D. Manly of Ottawa University. Mr. Manly traced the career of General Grant, dogged in determination, silent, but victorious The nation finally rang with his praises but through all he maintained that self-possessed spirit of modesty which has made him beloved by his enemies, and endeared him to his friends.
The next orator was Mr. R. E. Cullison of the College of Emporia who spoke on the Problem of equality Absolute equality is demanded as the fifth act of the drama of human development. The real champion of equality is the element of pity in the nature of man. The presumption that happiness follows riches and misery poverty is fallacious. Not equality of position but of privilege is the true solution of the problem.
Another vocal solo, the tune by Mr. Van Landingham of Emporia and then came Mr. J. S. Fisher of South Western college, Winfield, with an oration on "The Mission of Service." The true test of worth is service. To this supreme test must come whatsoever solicits the favor of men. Difficulty, religious, social and economic problems confront the nations today. The sublime truth that duties are commensurate with rights is advancing as the supreme law for individuals and nations. Lives are made more beautiful by service Sublimer than any struggle of marshalled hosts are victories won every day by toilers in the stubble-fields of duty.
F W. Games of Baker, was the last speaker. Faith and Skepticism in Progress was his subject. Skepticism is the gospel of death, faith the gospel of life. This world is the cradle of eternity. Immortality is not a dream. Men in every age have looked beyond the stars. Since history dawned, the religious hero bartered life for faith. Earth was not made for a burial ground. "The generations gather to their fathers, and over their ashes rest the remains of many a dead century; but they peril not. Though their faltering steps lead but to the portal of a tomb, upon that portal falls the shadow of a Cross and within that shadow lies a meaning for the closing of all human story. Humanity sleeps in the repose of death's sad night to awake for a sublimer on the morning of the resurrection."

ELECTR CAL ENGINEERING NOTES.
Prof. Blake recently procured quite a number of hand books containing wiring tables and distributed them among the Senior engineers. These little books contain tables which are indispensable to the electrician and were very much appreciated by the class.
Prof. Blake recently received a letter from Chas. Fletcher who is holding a very good position in a New York electrical manufacturing company. He is in a position to learn all the ins and outs of trade. He works in all the different rooms successively till he has become familiar with all the different branches of the business. He says that such a position as he holds would be useless to try unless you had a decided "pull" with the superintendent or some high official.
A. V. Schrodter, '96, is city electrician at Holden, Mo.
Frank Marcey has just completed with the assistance of Edwin H. Norton, an electric furnisher which he uses in his photograph room in the north tower. It is thought to be the only one in the state.
GIFTS FOR LIBRA?Y.
American History Department Secures Two Valuable Works.
The department of American History has recently secured two important gifts for the University Library. One is a set of reprints of the Colonial Laws of Massachusetts, the gift of the editor Mr. W. H. Whitmore, of Boston. This reprint was issued in a limited edition of 300 copies by the City of Boston. Sets are already becoming very scarce and are quoted by booksellers at $10 a volume. An interesting feature of the reprint is a facsimile of the original manuscript of the Body of Liberties. The other addition to the library is a set of the Colonial Laws of New York, just issued in five volumes by the New York Commission for Statuary Revision. The set is the gift of the Secretary of the Commission, Hon. R. C. Tumming, of Albany.

THE WORLD AGAINST HER
AMUSEMENTS
THE WORLD AGAINST HER.
This excellent play is one of the old fashioned melodramas dealing with the story of happiness destroyed by the machinations of the villain, the subsequent sufferings of the innocent and the final overthrow and punishment of the guilty, with the thread of happiness as a reward to the innocent.
"The World Against Her," as given by Agnes Wallace Villas, and her supporting players, is a distinct success. The sensational element of the play is good and keeps the interest of the audience throughout. The company is most competent, and the members are thoroughly up in their parts. Miss Villa, in the principal role, that of Madge Carlton, who has the bulk of the work to do, was largely responsible for the success of the performance. The minor parts, without exception, are extremely well played. There are many beautiful specialties in this box office winner which are extremely well done, and the comedy parts are in the hands of artists. Bowersock Opera house Tuesday, March 1.
