The base ball game which was to have taken place in April between the University of Michigan and the University of Kansas has been declared off. No suitable date could be arranged.
Two University would-be Nimrods trudged through the woods and over the prairies of the country about Lawrence all last Saturday. It is needless to say that their story is the old story of a long hunt and no game.
A postal card was received by Secretary Moody the other day addressed to Professor State University, Lawrence. It says: "Respected friend, please send me your catalogue concerning the law—and cost. Yours resp'y."
A student quoted a few lines on sleep from Shakespeare's Macbeth to another student (number two) the other day with the remark that he had written them for publication. Student number two said: "That is very poor stuff to put in a paper."
Mr. E. E. Rush, 95, who has been teaching in the Lawrence High School, has resigned to accept a position as instructor in algebra in the High School at Kansas City, Mo., at double the salary he received here. Mr. Rush is the sixth University graduate on the present corps of the Kansas City High School.
Prof. L. I. Blake performed, before his class in Physics, some interesting experiments with the electrical arc Tuesday. The powerful current from the University dynamo was sent successively through carbon, copper, zinc and iron. The different colored lights produced were very beautiful.
Mr. E. F. Engel's class in Freshman German the largest in the University this term contains more than one hundred members. Prof. Olin Templin's class in Sophomore Logic is also a large one, there being about eighty students enrolled. The class in advanced English Composition numbers seventy-three.
D. Thomas Long, M. D., surgeon and oculist, who has charge of the Kansas Baptist Hospital at Topeka, has had successful experience in his profession and is worthy the confidence of any member of the University. Any one desiring to see him professionally may do so by calling at his office, at 616 Kansas Avenue, Topeka, Kansas.
A queer tribe of erratic students has been discovered within the precincts of the University, who call themselves Bohemians. They meet in a place called Buzzard's Roost, the whereabouts of which is yet unknown. There are about fifteen or twenty of these "Weary Wraggles," and none but literary freaks can join the tribe. It is vaguely understood that they are preparing poetry, and the philosophical belief of each Bohemian for publication.
The WEEKLY acknowledges an invitation to be present, today, at the inauguration of Dr. George MacLean as Chancellor of the University of Nebraska. The University of Kansas having furnished her sister University a most illustrous and successful Chancellor, feels especially interested in his successor. We can but express the hope that the University of Nebraska may long retain as its head one so scholarly and widely known as Chancellor McLean.
