Two of the most distinguished scientists, in their particular fields, in the United States, have been at work here in the west this summer on the United States Geological Survey, and by great good fortune the University has secured promises from each of them to deliver a lecture here before returning to the east. The men are Prof. G.K.Gilbert, chief geologist of the United States survey, and Prof.F.H.Newell, chief of the bureau of hydrographic investigation. Prof. Gilbert's subject will be "Coon Butte, an Arizona Crater," under which he will tell of the volcanic mountains of the country,
and Prof. Newell will speak of "Water Supply," both lectures being illustrated with the lantern. The gentlemen have great reputations in the east as lecturers, and they should be greeted by large audiences when they come, the latter part of this month. They will probably appear under the auspices of the Science Club or the Sigma Xi Society.
The young women of the University should all attend the Woman's League reception Saturday in order to make the visit of the Kansas City Collegiate Alumnae as pleasant as possible, and also to hear Mrs. Martha Foote Crow read her paper "Woman and Higher Education," which is certain to be very interesting.
Was it a case of telepathy? We suggested harrowing McCook field, and the work was done before we could print the suggestion, but too late for its recall. By way of reparation, we hope a similar result may come about when we urge more men to appear for practice. If the Varsity eleven has an easy time playing Kansas men, it will quite likely have a hard time with Missouri or Nebraska. The men must have something to push against to develop their pushing powers. The eleven best men—the men who do the best in practice games—will be chosen for the team, but they will remain merely our eleven best individual players, unless eleven or twenty-two others turn out every evening to give them practice and experience, give them training in team work and make them truly a team. And after all, the winning of three or four match games, while it is certainly the incentive, should by no means become our sole aim and end in playing football. The idea in this, as in any other game fostered by the University, is to furnish exercise to the students
