Science Notes.
J. F. Hall of Kansas City spent a day here in examining our collection of Lepidoptera.
The Natural History Journal Club met Wednesday evening. Dr. Willsston reviewed E.D. Cope's paper on the Primary Factors in Organic Evolution.
Chancellor Snow received from Dr. Fletcher of the Ottawa experimental station several specimens of Diptera to be identified. They were collected by the Provincial geological survey in the Hudson Bay Territory. The specimens were in such a mutilated condition that identification was almost impossible and it was only with considerable difficulty Mr. Kahl succeeded in determining them.
School of Fine Arts.
Prof. Preyer will play with the Symphony orchestra in Kansas City March 19th. Prof. Penny's class in "instrumentation" will go down on the morning train and attend the afternoon entertainment in a body.
The Oratorio Society has taken a vacation of two weeks. The next rehearsal is March 8th.
Deficiency cards for the seniors are now ready at the Registrar's office.
Mrs. Havens of Leavenworth attended the recital Wednesday.
Misses Zena and Lillian Freeman of Topeka spent Sunday with Miss Starr.
Prof. Penny will give his illustrated lecture on Greece Wednesday evening at Music Hall unless otherwise bulletined.
The recital last Wednesday was a short one, there being but five on the program. Three Bercuseuses were played,—Schytte's, by Miss Haven's; Grieg's, by Master Henry; and Chopin's, by Miss Whitaker. The other two numbers were by Mr. Gilbert and Miss McCheyne. Miss Havens is the first Freshman to take part in this winter's recitals and deserves credit for her successful attempt. According to a rule recently adopted, all participating at these recitals must play without notes. The students seem united that this is a profitable rule.
The Euterpe club reports the meeting with Misses Carrie Pampel and Clara Trout a very delightful occasion. The club will meet with Miss Lapham March 12th, at 4:30. An interesting program is being planned. Miss Weber was taken in as an active member. It was voted to have all graduates of this department, formerly members of the club, as honorary members.
Alumni Notes.
J. W. Bryham, '79, is still preaching in Dorchester, Mass.
It is reported that Miss Laura E. Lockwood, '91, is now quite recovered from her recent dangerous illness, and that she expects to take up soon her studies at New Haven.
J. G. Wine, '93, is in the law office of Lathrop, Morrowe, Fox & Moore, Kansas City, Mo. Mr. Wine has been with this firm since his graduation from the School of Law, Michigan University, in 1895.
In the election of W. H. Sears, Law '90, to be his private secretary Senator W.A. Harris has shown excellent judgment. Probably no man in Kansas has a more extensive political acquaintance than Mr. Sears. Identified as he is with the interests of the party in power, it is difficult to see how a better choice could have been made.
Prof. Henry C. Fellow, '91, who has been an efficient assistant to Supt. E. Stanley in the office of Superintendent of Public Instruction for the past two years will not sever his connection with school work. Prof. Fellow is now the Western Manager of the Winship Teachers Agency at 718 Morris Ave. Topeka, and will look out for the affairs of that concern in the West. A teacher of long experience and a man who has devoted the most of his life to school work, Prof. Fellow is well qualified to have charge of a teacher's agency.
The members of the first class graduated from the University, that of 1873, are holding their own with the rest of the younger alumni. L. D.L.Tosh is actively engaged in pursuing the legal profession in Argentine, Kansas. He was admitted to the bar three years after graduation
