THE FAIRCHILD LECTURES.
Phillipine Soldier Ridicules Talk of the "Yellow Peril.
From Clay Center Daily Dispatch.
A large audience of young people gathered in the Presbyterian church Sunday evening to listen to the lecture of Abijah Fairchild on the subject of "The Rescue of the Missionaries in China." There were quite a number of young people besides the members of the different young people's societies.
Mr. Fairchild was prevailed upon to speak again during the regular church service, and spoke some minutes upon the subject, 'The Yellow Peril."
COMMENCEMENT BANQUET.
The faculty committee in charge of the annual commencement dinner has completed the arrangements for this year's "spread," which will be given in the museum building, June 7. immediately after the commencement exercises. Professors Haworth, Havenhill and Kay have full charge of the affair, and will provide a seven course dinner for six hundred people.
All members of the faculty, and alumni of any of the schools of the University are admitted free and other invited students of the institution may secure tickets at a nominal sum. Prof. Hogg has charge of the tickets, and will supply all who are entitled to them. The management was seriously inconvenienced last year by the presence of nearly a hundred unexpected guests. This year every one who wishes to attend must secure a ticket in advance to obviate this difficulty. Faculty and alumni members will be furnished tickets on application.
GLEE CLUB CONCERT.
The annual Spring Concert of the University Glee Club, given in the chapel Friday evening was a most enjoyable culmination of its work during the year. The club was very ably assisted by Miss Bessie Wheaton, soprano, Mrs. Bella R. Dean, contralto, Mr. L. A. Hubach, baritone, and Mr. C. E. Hubach, director of the club, tenor. The accompaniments were played by Miss Harriet Greisinger.
The program was very well balanced, and was carried out with credit to the club and its assistants. Many of the members were heartily encored. The quartette, Messrs, Popham, Lapham, Asher and Scherer, was decidedly in favor and was called back repeatedly.
The Glee Club has been very successful on the whole in the past year, in spite of the difficulties with which it has had to contend, and has beyond question been a benefit to the University in the towns of the state in which it has appeared during the year.
NEW GONSTITUTION. EVEN BREAK AT COLORADO.
Representative Students Plan Entire Change in System of Athletic Control.
Wednesday evening, there was held at the Eldridge house, what promises to be one of the most important meetings in the history of Athletics at the University of Kansas.
Twenty men were present, representing the fraternities, the societies, and various clubs of the University, as representative a body as it would have been possible to gather together. Mr. Johnson Strickler was elected chairman and Malcolm McNaughton secretary. J. W. Blood then reported the constitution which a committee, appointed at a caucus the evening before, had drawn up. After careful consideration article by article, the constitution was adopted as reported by the committee except for a few minor amendments.
The new plan calls for two boards instead of one as at presene. The real power of the association under the new plan will be in the Board of Control which is to be composed of six undergraduate students at least three terms standing, five members of the alumni, who are to be appointed by the Chancellor, and the physical director of the University.
This board virtually takes the place of the present athletic board end has all of its powers except in the matter of the eligibility of the players. A second board is provided for which is to be composed of the Chancellor, the physical director and three members of the faculty who are to be appointed by the Chancellor. This board has the power to decide all eligibility cases and to outline the general policy of the association.
The second striking change from the old constitution is the proposed substitution of student managership for the general management as at present. The new plan calls for separate managers for each branch of University athletics—football, baseball, basketball, tracks and other minor sports. As a check on these managers and to prevent any opportunity for graft, the treasurer of the association, who is to be elected by the faculty board, is to have complete control of the gates at all athletic contests.
These amendments will be submitted to an open meeting of the Athletic Association in Chapel on June 1st, and if ratified by $ \frac{2}{3} $ of the Association will become the constitution of that body.
Miss Chloe Stout of Gallatin. Missouri is visiting J.J.Hughes of the law school. She will stay to attend the Missouri-Kansas track meet.
Kansas Wins First But Loses Second By Score of 1 to 0.
Kansas has been playing great ball on the Colorado trip. From reports received thus far, the boys have lost only one game. On last Wednesday K. U. easily defeated Colorado University at Boulder with Hoffman in the box. Hoffman's slants were of such a character that only seven hits were made by the mountaineers while fourteen safe ones were made by the Kansans. Sexton lead the team in batting by getting the two baggers. Woodford still kept up his batting streak by getting two hits and Hoffman got two hits one of which sailed over the fence. Score by Innings. R H E Colorado 1 5 2 3 0 0 0 0 0—11 14 2 Kansas 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0—2 7 6 Batteries-Hoffman, Royer and
Batteries-Hoffman, Royer and Caley.
On Thursday Colorado turned the tables by taking the second game 1 to 0 but only after one of the fiercest games ever seen in Boulder. Hoffman and Underwopd were the opposing pitchers and each pitched the game of his life. Two hits were made by Colorado and only one by Kansas; Colorado's run came in the fourth inning; Harper on third beat home a long fly and won the game Kansas played an errorless game. The work of Hoffman is becoming a remarkable feature. His ability to hold Colorado down to two hits after having pitched the game the day before speaks well for the little twirler.
