WHERE HAS CULTURE GONE7
With Coming of Professional Schools Humanities go to Women's Colleges
From the Boston Transcript.
From the Boston Transit Authority has become of the cultural idea” in college education. That it had fed, we knew, but where it had gone we were ignorant. It now appears that it has taken refuge—its “last refuge”, we are told in the women’s colleges. As it was the president of the women’sCollege, Conn., who said this at New Haven recently, we suppose we are bound to take his word for it. The men’s universities have become great technological and vocational machines. As for the smaller colleges once devoted to the “humanities”, they have had vided by athletic upstart scientists by athletic upstart scientists. So what there was let for culture to do but to flee tearfully to the girls’ colleges, like Smith and Vassar, where, as everybody knows, there are no student societies or outside activities to distract the young ladies, or them from their time to do Kant, Lucretius and Pascal. It is really a bit absurd, this attempt to say just where the air of delightful studies is to be found. Culture, like genius, has a way of cropping out in the most unexpected places. Where you make an interesting supply of food, you are puzzled to see it steadily vanishing; while, suddenly, out of some school; given apparently to the “practical”, you find graduates coming who are passionately devoted to ideas. It’s a parlous business, this of trying to locate the student supplies of the free spirit of man, it blows where to listeth. It is always wise to distrust too confident answers to the appeal: “Tell me where is culture bred.”

SAYS READERS LIKE ROMANCE
Bret Harte Offers Alibi for Idealis
Who. Writes in Glowing Colors
New York Sun
Among the essays in Bret Harte's collection is one entitled "M'Y favor novelist, and His Best Book. With half a dozen favorite novelists and only one favorite novel, Bre Harte finds it somewhat difficult to adjust the substance of his article its title. No two the same; does he say, although mentions Dickens, Thackeray, Defo州 Stanley Weyman and Edward Everett Hale during the course of his article but his favorite novel is "Mont Cristo." To it he gives half a dozen pages of exposition and analysis "But 'Monte Cristo' is romance, and as I am writing it there is a story of mind, that runs his final paragraph [I am informed by writers (not readers) that this is all wrong; that the world wants to know itself in all its sordid, material aspects, relieved only by occasional excursions into the domains of pathology and the contemplation of diseased and morbid types that the book tells us of, of mind and not as much be; and that it is very reprehensible to deceive him with fairy tales, or to satisfy a longing that was in him when the first band sang to him—or in the gloom of his cave dwellings when the first story teller interesteth him in accounts of mind and not as much be; and that it is venture to believe that when Jones comes home from the city and takes up a book he does not great; care to read a faithful chronicle of his own doins, nor has Mrs. Jones fresh end herself for his coming by seeking a transcript of her uneventful dein in the pages of her own doins, who have been lifted temporarily out of their commonplace surface roundings and limited horizon by some specious tale of heroism, en deaw, wrongs redeemed, and faith rewarded, and are inclined to look little more hopefully to Jone chances of promotion to literary Jone's authority's freeway legacy - why blame them or their novelist."

From the Chicago Herald.
On May 21, 2013 he visited the South, and in his "Journal of a Voyage to South Carolina" occurs a description of the building used for operas and concerts in Charleston. He then boarded a check in his "Early Opera in America."
The concert house is a large in-elegant building, situated down a yard, at the entrance of which I was met, by a constable, and with a ticket, which was subscribed by the name of the person giving it, and directing admission of me by my name. The officer told me to proceed. I did, and was next met by a white waiter, who directed me to a room where I was instructed on music and were conducted in. The music was good—the two bass voils and French horns were grand. One Abercrombie played the first violin, and a solo incomparably better than any one I ever heard. He cannot speak a word. We were very excited about 100 guinness a year from the St. Cecilia Society. There were upwards of 250 ladies present, and it was called no great number. In loftiness of headress, these ladies stoop to the daughters of the north—in health and floridity of countenance, vail to them. In taciturnity during the performance, greatly before our ladies; in noise and flirting after the music is over, pretty much on a par. The gentlemen, many in dress and elegance, uncommon with us; many with swords on. We had two Macaronis present, just arrived from London."
RATTLESNAKE A GENTLEMAN
John Muir Thought Reptile Polite When Well Treated
From the Springfield Republic, "Many a novice has received initiation into Nature's sage." She writes Elio Roebach of John Muir in a Craftsman article, "Before even Sierra's forests, forest and flowers became mirrored forever upon my heart I had learned to call them all by name through my childhood. His descriptions so exact, poetical, inspiring, caught my fancy, and remained so indelibly in my mind that I recognized them all on sight. When at last, I actually trod the train he had taken me down through his flowers, trees, birds and animals he had spoken of they were all as familiar friends."
Rattlesnake and bear were accepted as comrades; the rattlesnake acted like the "gentleman" that Mr. Muir has given us assured that he will find him, and the bear, scraping the bark from a fallen tree trunk, sought his breakfast peaceably with all mankind. "The knowledge gained from John Muir robbed me of fear, told me that I should be afraid of the untamed wilds, opening up a marvelous, beautiful new world where I could wander steeped in wonder and delight."
"I never knock on the town. Why I've been here fifty years and I've boosted every day of that time."

RELAY LOST DUAL MEET FOR JAYHAWKER SQUAD
(Continued from page 1)
Kansas can never win the quarter, Rodkey, counted a sure first, lost the double furlong loop to Niedorp, who took the lead at the crack of the gun and fought for it whenever challenged. Niedorp had no difficulty getting to the shot line, but the shot check took second in the fifty and is naturally a better starter than most 440 men. Rodkey made the old mistake of attempting to pass his opponent on the curve rather than the straight away, with the third shot spring before the check station at the end of the line was reached.
The shot and half mile, following in even succession, chalked sixteen easy points for the Crimson and Blue Reber and Keeling did not have to extend themselves with the pellet, while Creighton and Rusty had Missouri half-milers. Missouri turned the table in the pole vault and high hurdles where Simpson and Floyd cleaned up, supplemented by Powell and Teas. Heath surprised the low flight and taking second to the lanky Missouri.
a scant yard separated Kline of Missouri from Grady and Poos of Kansas at the finish line of this race. Grady and Poes were nearly caught napping for they ran the first part of the race too slow and Kline proved to have a great finish, gaining awards during the last half lap. This event was gruelling and several runners' had to be helped from the floor.
Johnny Niles, the K. U. freshman, equalled the college time in the fifty yard special race which he won over Yekum and Crowley of K. U. and Hutsels of the K. C. A. C. The Kansas Alumni Baseball team was Missouri despite the fact that Shannon Douglas Jr., ran a pretty last lap for the Tiger quartet.
