class of ability, but is every inch a man. What more can I say? When he reached the mine our mill had not yet started, and every effort was being made to complete its erection and to start the wheels. He took in the situation at a glance, got on some rough clothes, and from that time on was everywhere and everything. From the assay forge he would make a quick change to the dynamo and where the electrician of the mine failed, he succeeded. Half an hour later he would be found perched on the shafting, lacing a belt or regulating a gearing; back to the assay house; planing a board; adjusting the "tables," helping at the steam pump, the pipe line, the ore crusher--everything. In the evening he would tune up on his cornet, and once in the morning, when the cook was sick, he made biscuits. And the biscuits, as everything else he undertook, were well made. With all his other work he has found time to get some good pictures with his camera and I have about forty good plates to bring home. He gives character to everything—he is a brick."
Pharmacy Building.
The senior class had their pictures taken one day this week.
Prof. Sayre has invited the Seniors to his home Saturday evening to meet some distinguished guests who are visiting him from Kansas City.
Prof. Sayre addressed the Chemical Seminary last Monday afternoon on the subject of "Pre-digested Foods." He is well acquainted with the preparations on the market sold as digested foods as well as with the men who make them, and gave a very interesting and instructive talk.
Prof. Bailey is spending a day or two visiting the Cement and Plaster Mills at Longford, Dillon and Hope. He is collecting samples for some work he is doing along that line.
The senior class in Pharmacy has permitted the Druggists Circular of New York to print all their Theses this term. In return the Circular has sent each one of the Senior a year's subscription to the paper.
The base ball team from the Pharmics and Preparatory Medical students played the High School team Thursday afternoon.

Athletic Notes.
Kansas won from Missouri by a score of 8 to o, in the game at Columbia last Thursday. The K. U. team played an errorless game.
The annual field meet was held at the south side track last Friday. The events were closely contested. The results will be given next week.
The great game of the season next Friday afternoon—Seniors vs Faculty. None but full and associate professors are to play. Funny remarks will be too numerous to mention.
Class games scheduled for last week will be played this week.
The regular team left for Columbia, Mo., last Wednesday. They played three games: M. S. vs K. U. May 6, at Columbia; Westminster College vs K. U. May 7, at Columbia; Wm. Jewell vs K. U. May 8, at Liberty. Upon their return from Missouri K. U. meets Washburn at Topeka on May 14, and returns home to play Manhattan on McCook field Saturday, May 15. The home games thus far have been good ones, and have been fairly well patronized. But there are many reasons why the Manhattan game should bring out the largest crowd of the season. Our team is playing gilt edged ball and deserves support. This is the next to the last game of the season. A special invitation is extended to every professor and student of K. U. to come out and spend two-bits.
K. U. won from the strong St. Mary's team in the game at St. Marys last Saturday. It
