aged captain took a walk to first base on balls. But there were others, who could not or would not impose on the worthy Seniors and who did with malice aforethought and with savage twinklings in their eyes, swing their bats to meet and crush the circling sphere. But Blackmar and Clark went out. Green became tangled in a knotty problem of law and paused in his mad career between second and third and was put out.
And so the game went on, each play causing roars from the assembled multitude. Cowan proved himself to be a sprinter of undeveloped merit in catching Alder in attempt to regain third base. Blake hid the ball up his sleeve and caught McMurray napping at first. Adams advertised for shin guards for next year's game. Marvin's mathematical judgment served him well in running bases. The final score was twenty to thirteen in favor of the Seniors.
K. U. VS MANHATTAN.
K. U. won the game with the Kansas Agricultural College by a score of nine to six. It was a game to suit the fans. Every body hit the ball and the 'Varsity won the game simply by its superior fielding. Green for the visitors and Stanley for the home team pitched a weak game. Grigg's work at bat and in the field was the feature of the game. A good erowd was in attendance.
Mathematical Models.
The University has just received from L. Brill, of Darmstadt, Germany, a shipment of mathematical models for the department of mathematics. These fine models with one or two exceptions are made of plaster of Paris and are very handsome. They will be used chiefly for the purpose of illustrating the work of solid analytical geometry, theory of curves and surfaces, and in the theory of functions.
There are seventeen pieces as follows: Elliptic cone, hyperboloid of two sheets, confocal surfaces of second order; each showing the lines of curvature. A triaxial ellipsoid and an ellipsoid of rotation, each showing the geodetic lines. Two surfaces of constant positive curvature showing lines of curvature; one surface
with constant negative curvature, on which two kinds of geodetic lines are marked in green and red; four minimal surfaces, or surfaces of constant mean curvature, each having marked the geodetic lines. Two string models of ruled surfaces of the third order, one of these is the Calley surface. Three models of types of Reimann's surfaces for use in the theory of functions.
This set of models is a valuable addition to the equipment of the department of mathematics and will be of great help to the advanced students of mathematics.
The Graduate Department.
The growing number of graduate students and the increasing importance of that part of the university work have led to the organization of a graduate school, the Faculty of which will in the future have charge of all work for the higher degrees. The result of the change is to separate the graduate work more definitely from the undergraduate, and give greater distinctness to the requirements for the higher degrees, including that af A.M., a real meaning and value. A statement of the conditions of admission to the Graduate School and of the courses of study offered in it is contained in the new catalog. It will be interesting reading for Seniors.
