"You will remember," said Henry Allen, last week to the assigned student body as he entrained them while all waited for the arrival of Walter Williams from Columbia, Mo., "that once in a while something arrives from Columbia, Mo., on time. On the twenty-fifth of last November something came from Columbia which arrived on time." With all deference to Mr. Allen, The Kansas believes he will not be agreed with in all quarters. Among the students and alumni of the University, for instance, there is a wide-spread feeling that the package which was delivered from Columbia on November 25, was several years overdue.
The Missouri basket-ball team will soon come to Lawrence for two games. The Tigers are playing a high class of the indoor game this year. With a bunch of new men the coaches have turned out a team that plays like veterans. The comparative scores of the Kansas-Washington and the Missouri Washington games would go to show that the Tigers and the Jayhawkers are about evenly matched. The Missouriians, being inexperienced, will come fast for the next two weeks; perhaps faster than Captain Johnson's men. Unless Coach Hamilton prepares for something big he may be slipped up on when the Tigers come.
What has happened to the oldtime student who carried his books to class in a cloth bag and in the deepest seriousness, looked through heavy eye glasses? Not many years ago this as the ideal type of student. He was a common sight on the hill, and was a real student. With his passing perhaps many genuine students also passed.
Bummy" Booth may be the Tiger coach next fall. That is very well. While Kennedy would like to be revenged on Roper there are a few scores to be settled with Booth. He is the same person who used to coach Nebraska when they had more success against Kansas than they have had lately.
Missouri was defeated twice at basket-ball by Grinnell last week. Grinnell also won the Missouri Valley track meet in Des Moines last spring. The Iowa school might cause some trouble if admitted to the conference. There
are not enough championships to go around now.
On the whole, a sanitary drinking fountain is a good thing. It is a rather unusual circumstance that makes it necessary to turn off the water in order to keep the fountain in that condition. to show httet
The time of the year has come when the student spends more time posing for photographs for the annual at the local art galleries than in preparing his lessons.

Much excitement was created in the gymnasium this morning because of the tryout in the pool of water games which members of Dr. Naismith's class in "The Principles of Sports" are inventing. One of the games that is being tried out is called "Duck on a Rock." A committee on general welfare for the class has decided on Adele Riche's summer hit, "Won't You Come and Splash Me," as the class song.
Now a Class Song.
Good Music at Vespers.
The fair-sized crowd which attended the vesper services Sunday afternoon was well repaid by the excellent music presented. The chorus did especially well in the anthem "The Heavens Are Telling," which was considered by some who heard it to be one of the best presented selections which has been given in the city. The violin solo by Miss Elizabeth Dunn of Ottawa was also very favorably received.
Studying Farm Pests.
The department of botany will pay special attention this spring to the chinch bugs which menace the wheat crop of Kansas. Dr. F. H. Billings of the department went to Wellington yesterday to gather material for laboratory work. He will make a special study of the chinch bug diseases.
Dr. Crumbine Lectured.
Dr. S. J. Crumbine, secretary of the State Board of Health, lectured before the class in Sanitary and applied chemistry today at 10:15. His subject was "Pure and Impure Air."
The Lawrence high school has challenged the College freshmen to a meet next Saturday. The challenge has been accepted and all men wishing to participate are requested to come out.
SHELDON TO Y. W. C. A.
Freshman-High School Meet.
The senior electrical engineers have presented Prof. Geo. C. Shaad with a picture of the group taken in their green flannel working shirts.
A Professor Made Happy.
Beulah Murphy, a sophomore in the College, is spending the week end at her home in Edwardsville.
B. F. Bowers, Law school, '09, now county clerk of Lyon county, spent the week-end at the Acacia house.
Hugh Adair, a freshman in the College last year, came to Lawrence from his home in Ellis, last night. He will enroll in the College next term.
Topeka Minister Urged a Greater Missionary Spirit.
Dr. Charles M. Sheldon of Topeka spoke on the "Missionary Spirit" at the regular meeting of the Y. W. C. A. Wednesday afternoon. He said that all religious life must be kept alive by the missionary spirit.
Dr. Sheldon told of his own experience with the American Indians. He says that the Indian is not dying out, but is increasing in numbers. There are 25,000 on the desert plains of Arizona, who earn their living by sheep-raising. The women are sole owners of the sheep, from which they obtain the wool to weave the Navajo blankets.
He told about the Navajo and Hopi Indians of Arizona, as illustrative of people among whom the missionary spirit might well be practiced. Having visited these Indians in their native haunts, Dr. Sheldon could tell with convincing reality of the strange superstitions of the Navajo and of the horrible snake dance of the Hopi Indians. In closing he emphasized again the ignorance and helplessness of these people and expressed the hope that helpers might go out from this University
EXCHANGE NEWS.
Dean Lily Kollock of Illinois recently acted as secretary at the fourth conference of the Deans and Advisors of Women in State Universities, which was held in Chicago. Fourteen deans, representing co-educational colleges, were present at this meeting.
The girls at Stephens College at Missouri University have had a few more holidays, because, on account of the intense cold, the building could not be heated.
At Cornell University the cold weather has afforded a new form of amusement in the establishment of a tobogan slide on Beebe lake under the managemenents of the Union Sports Association. Warming houses, as well as eating places, are being maintained by the organization, and a dollar ticket admits the holder to full privileges of the ice and slide.
Apropos of the American gridiron casualties, the Yale Alumni Weekly remarks: "One has heard much talk recently of the iniquity of American football and of the corresponding gentleness of the English Rugby. It is interesting, therefore, to read an account of the annual Oxford-Cambridge game, which was played a short time ago in London. The list of casualties would be considered a fairly good one for a Princeton or a Harvard game, but does not seem to have created the comment in England that the same number of accidents would have, if they had occurred here. One reads that Mr. Tair broke his collar bone, Mr. Turner had a bad concussion, Mr. Cunningham lost several of his teeth, and Mr. Gilroy was badly knocked about. In addition there were several minor mishaps. To the unprejudiced observer it would seem that the English game had 'nothing on us.'"—Corinell Daily Sun.
Mrs. Russell Sage's recent gift of $650,000 to Yale University is for the purchasing of a new campus. This piece of property was bought in 1905 by three New York graduates, who undertook to carry it, until a donor could be found who would transfer it without debt to the University.
