Notes from the College World. Out at the University of Utah, the boys black their tan shoes.
The Missouri "Tigers" have abandoned St. Louis as a foot-ball town because of heavy financial losses.
Washburn has a college barber shop. College Life. And yet they claim to play foot ball up there. Well, yes, the shop may be just for shaving, though.
The Baker boys are abandoning their mustaches. You can't tell a Senior from a "prep" there anymore.
Washburn has played with almost every fourth class team in the state and now boasts of having only 59 points scored against her. Doane college is not as large as Washburn but is able to score against the best teams of the West.
The Wrinkle of Ann Arbor has come out in in favor of one Prentiss for Secretary of Agriculture. That don't belong to Michigan, it should go to Kansas. Washburn and Baker having such excellent material would naturally come first if they had not deserted the straightticket, and worked so heroically for the Rev. Kepford. But being as it is, Kansas University certainly has the first right. Now if the "barb" politician will only consult with the fraternity leaders and decide exactly who we want, the rest of us will hold a formal endorseand the office is ours. Just remember in what glowing terms Mr. McKinley spoke of Kansas University when he was here.
The committee appointed by the Junior class to organize an inter-class debating society is composed of the following members: L. B. Olson, Herbert Wing, Miss Ethel Hickey.
Prof. Dunlap addressed the 8 o'clock German class Friday morning on Wolfenbuettel in connection with the life of Lessing. Lessing was librarian there the last eleven years of his life. Prof. Dunlap spent the summer of '95 doing special work in the same library.
Mr. Louis James will be seen at the Bowersock Opera House on Monday, December 14, in a superb scenic production of Dr. Bird's great classic masterpiece "Spartacus." The version used by Mr. James is the same one in which Forrest and McCullough appeared in former times, and it will find in Mr. James an interpreter worthy to succeed the great exponents it has had in the past. Mr. James is less subject to limitations in his art than any great actor of the past score of years, and he excells in the portrayal of those roles that require heroic treatment. Massive and leonine in presence, graceful and scholarly, and with rare vocal gifts he cannot fail to realize the ideal of the old Thracian warrior. Messrs Wagenhals & Kemper will continue as in the past to manage Mr. James' tour, and have provided him with a wealth of scenery which will eclipse any former production of the play.
The scenes in and about Rome, the camps of two hostile armies, the Campania, with Mount Vesuvius rising on the distant horizon, and the Arena, are all wonderfull examples of the scene painters art. The support of Mr. James this season will be stronger than ever, Mr. Guy Lindsley the excellent leading man of last year, has been retained and Miss Alma Kruger and Florence Everett will also appear this season with Mr. James. Seats on sale Friday Dec. 11.
