The Kansas University Quarterly.
Vol. 5, No.1 of this publication is out and proves to be a number of unusual merit. Its four principal articles reveal a degree of original research which would reflect credit upon older and wealthier institutions.
"Projective Groups of Perspective Collineations in the Plane, treated Synthetically" by Mr. Arnold Emch, is a dissertation presented to to the Faculty of the University of Kansas to attain the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. "Hoplophoneous Occidentalis", being the description of a restoration in paleontologic research, is Mr. E. S. Riggs' master's thesis. Dr. S. W. Williston contributes a treatise on "One of the Dermal Coverings of Hesperornis," a paper which is certain to attract the attention of leading scientists. Of a more popular character is the admirable address on "The Duty of the scholar in Politics" delivered before the Kansas chapter of Phi Beta Kappa by Prof. Frank Heywood Hodder. The Monroe doctrine which is the chief topic of this address is treated in an exhaustive and scholarly manner, meriting the careful study of persons interested in international law. This number may be obtained by addressing The University Quarterly, Lawrence, Kans., and enclosing the sum of 50 cents.
Y.W.C.A.
The Lake Geneva Conference has given to the Association a new interest in the work for next fall. The members are anxious to be as helpful as possible to new students. They are making final arrangements for the new Y.W. C.A.House which will provide an ideal college home for a dozen girls. For information in regard to this house write to Miss Martha Snow of Lawrence. For general information and assistance young women expecting to enter the University may write to Miss Agnes Radford also of Lawrence.
Campbell Normal University, following the example of Kansas University has concluded to substitute for the usual orations of graduates on commencement day, an address by some man of distinction from abroad. Their address for the approaching commencement which occurs August 13, will be delivered by Prof. W. H. Carruth.
Manager C. A. Burney of the Athletic Association speaks in glowing terms of the prospects for foot-ball at the University of Kansas this fall. He does not seem to doubt the certain defeat of Missouri in the Thanksgiving game.
The WEEKLY begs indulgence for the omission of any extended notice of the Fine Arts Department. An article promised by competent hands failed to appear. Persons contemplating study in this department will receive the most considerate attention, however, if they will address personally Prof. C. A. Preyer, Acting Dean of the Department.
Rambler Bicycle Agency Established.
H. L. Stevens has secured the agency for the Rambler bicycle, and has already received a shipment of ninety-six wheels. He had the agency for this weeel some time ago but gave it up for various reasons, and since then the manufacturers have had no agency here, and have endeavored to get Mr. Stevens to take it. They wanted to make him sell the Rambler at list price, $100, and he didn't care to take it with that condition. The company has finally consented to let Mr. Stevens sell the wheels at any price he desires so long as he pays them their regular agent's price. Mr. Stevens will sell the regular $100 bicycles for $75, the cheapest that a Rambler has ever been sold.
One of the wheels received by Mr. Stevens the other day was a handsome tandem. It is a combination for lady and gentleman, the drop frame being in front and is a beauty.
