AT EVENING.
On Mount Oread it is evening Soft the cooling breezes blow 'Mong the elm trees, on the campus With a murmur sweet and low.
Evening shadows gather 'round us, Fainter, dimmer grows the light. Flitting faint fantastic figures Pass before us, then'tis night.
And we sit here in the darkness On the steps of Fraser Hall, And our voices loud re-echo From Her ivy-covered wall;
Singing songs of Alma Mater And her sons and daughters true, Who with mighty deeds and actions Wreath with honor old K. U.
-W. B. P.
General Funston never came any ways near the Phi Beta Kappa when he was in the University but he made good when he got out in the world, which is after all the main thing.
Chancellor Strong had more fun with John McDonald, Friday morning than he has had with any speaker for many a day. It came so unexpected that it took the Scotchman entirely by surprise, as it did all of us for that matter. But let the Chancellor beware, the canny Scott will get even if he has to make a special trip to the University for that purpose.
The students of the Agricultural College are up in arms against President Nichols because of his suspension of three juniors for unfurling a class flag over the rostrum during chapel exercises. A mammoth petition for his removal will be sent to the board of regents by the students, not only because of his action in this affair but because of his apathy toward student enterprises in general.
The fraternities of the University are to be congratulated in that they have finally taken the matter of the inter-fraternity debate in hand and will soon compete for the Ewing Herbert cup. Debating in Chicago, Michigan and Nebraska interests fraternity men as much as football and
base ball, and it should not be ignored by that class of men in our University. If inter-fraternity debates will stimulate interest in this subject throughout the school and bring stronger men into competition for the places on the University team, they should be facilitated in every way.
Any student in the University who failed to hear Prof. S. H. Clark of the University of Chicago, Thursday night in his reading of Ulysses, and Friday morning in his lecture on "The Spirit of Literature," missed two of the rarest treats that have come to University audiences for some time. Prof. Clark is "on fire" with his subject and before he leaves his hearers they have caught something of his fervor and spirit.
SUPERB GROUP OF ANIMALS.
When completed the group of animals now being arranged in the main room of the Museum building will be one of the most striking as well as one of the most valuable possessions of the University.
Since early fall workmen have been busy building the scaffolding on which to set the specimens. This framework is now being plastered with artificial mud, leaves and moss, making a very natural appearing mountain side. The group contains some fifty specimens, every one the acme of the taxadermist's art, and is composed of antelope, buffalo, elk, Rocky mountain sheep, mule deer, white goat and moose. All are arranged on a cragy and rock strewn hill-side, in positions and attitudes such as they assume while alive and in their natural haunts. Trees and small pools of water will add to the picturesqueness of the scene.
The value of the completed grouping will be hard to estimate exactly,but will be easily up in five figures. Probably the

most valuable pair of animals is two fighting, horn-locked moose. These are both supurb specimens, and were on exhibition at the World's Fair at Chicago. Prof. Dyche was offered $5,000 for the pair by a German nobleman who was touring the country collecting such specimens. The five American buffaloes in the group are valued at $1,000 each. Prof. Dyche has been twenty-five years mounting these specimens, and it is owing to his efforts, assisted by Mr. "Lev" Adams, that the grouping has gone along so rapidly this year. The arrangement is expected to be fully completed when school opens next fall.

FINANCIAL SUCCESS.
The following is a comparative statement of the financial success of the Kansas—Missouri indoor track meets held in Kansas City for the past two years
Receipts for 1904 for 1905
$603 $840.75
Expenditures 1904 for 1905

Loss. Gain.
Deducting the managers expenses, and dividing the proceeds, Kansas received $71.87 as her share of the gain this year. It is a fact worthy of note, that the attendance was larger than last year and that greater interest was taken, thus insuring the continuance of the Convention Hall meets.
