Some of the sorority girls have become so circumspect that they cannot accompany a young man on the piano without a chaperon.
The only thing to be feared or deplored about the chaperon movement is the formality which it would introduce into University society. The west has always boasted a good healthy freedom of action which is not compati with the idea of a chaperon on every corner. Such things obtain only where it is a cardinal sin for a man to appear without a dress suit after six o'clock.

The large attendance at chapel never fails to attract the attention of former students. "Do you have any compulsory chapel attendance?" is the question invariably asked when an old K. U. man visits the University for the first time in four or five years. A daily attendance from six hundred to a thousand students looks surprising to those who were accustomed to only three hundred, and present conditions augur well for the future of the University.
THE DAUNTLESS HIGKS.
Another old hero is passing away
What shall we say tellows, what shall we say?
Can word of ours tell him the things that we feel?
Do you think we can soften his old heart o' steel?
Can we make him believe that these tear drops are real?
Him, born to the carnage and bred to the fray?
Why there's nouse to tell him the least little word
A touch of the hand—and he's heard
He has glanced in our hearts, he has read the whole story
Don't you know when all trampled and wounded and gory.
He yearned to our hearts and was dumb to his glory
And only through ours was his own bosom stirred.
Now a clasp of his hand and for ever he's gone
The glory of day means the death of the dawn
Our day and his powers are fled to the past
And the red sky of youth, it is palling at last
So farewell and Godspeed! Let our hearts hold him fast,
Til the journey is run and the long night comes on.

"THE WIZARD OF OZ"
Play goers, young and old, are keenly awaiting the visit of "The Wizard of Oz," which is one of the most successful extravaganzas ever produced. Gay with its brilliant trappings, bright with its bevy of pretty girls, bewitching in harmony, beautiful in its color' effects, and buoyant in its fun, "The Wizard of Oz" is the kind of entertainment that appeals to ninety-nine people out of a hundred. "The Wizard of Oz" is a production that stands preeminently in a class of its own. From a scenic standpoint it is gorgeous throughout, and if one is fond of fun, the sight of pretty girls arrayey in brilliant costumes, music of the light and catchy order and stage pictures that are gems of scenic art, then "The Wizard of Oz" cannot be equaled.
The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman are, of course, the principal comedy features in the production, but there are a dozen other fun creators, almost equally clever, each of whom prohis share of the fun. One must not overlook, however, the comical Lion and frolicsome Cow who provoke screams of laughter. Dainty little Dorothy is an ideal heroine for a fairy play. The chorus is one of the largest and most clever ever enlisted in the production of an extravaganza. The Wizard of Oz" will appear
at the Bowersock Opera house Tuesday 20. Owing to the length of the performance the curtain will rise promptly at eight o'clock.
Roy Sanford, of the senior pharmacy class will relieve Julian Jenkinson '04 during the holidays. Mr. Jenkinson is head clerk at Hinoe's Pharmacy, Kans. City, Mo.
F. M. M. Moore '04 has been working of late for the drug firm of McLean Bros, of Lamar, Colo. Mr. Moore writes that Lamar is a live town and the druggists are progressive, having stores well up to date.
PHARMACY ALUMNI NOTES.
The proceedings of the Kansas Pharmaceutical association for 1904 are out. The publication is quite late in making its appearance, as the Secretary A.E. Topping '88 of Overbrook, was much handicapped in his work owing to a fire, during the summer, which caused him considerable loss. Mr.Topping has done well under the circumstances and deserves credit for work he has accomplished,
