The ovation given Chancellor Strong yesterday morning on his first appearance in chapel since his illness, demonstrated clearly the esteem in which every student in the University holds him, from the rawest freshman to those who have been in the University since he came here four years ago. The secret of it all is that he is, plainly and unquestionably, one of us. Every student realizes that the Chancellor is in sympathy with him in everything that makes for the right, and that he will always be unfaltering in this allegiance.
It is true that a change is coming over the general character of the University, as a body. That change is not particularly the work of the students, for their influence is too transient, and the course of four years or so brings an entirely nearly new body of men and women to the control of student behavior. If the attitude of these students is changing for the better, it is because of a permanent influence, and of that influence, Chancellor Strong is the preeminently effective representative.
In an address at the monthly vesper service of the University of Kansas, before the students of the University, March 25th Rev. James. D. Moffat, president of Washington and Jefferson College and moderator of the Presbyterian General Assembly, spoke in substance as follows:
Young people are often restrained from associating themselves with the organized institutions of Christianity from certain misapprehensions regarding the nature and demands of Christianity.
The first of these is, an impression that Christianity is largely a doctrine of repression and prohibition—a suppression of human nature. In fact, Christianity is a life of liberty, of the truest liberty. It teaches that all our powers are God-given and are to be developed and used, subject only to the will of
God and the law of service. It is a religion of joy and freedom, a freedom given by the truth of God. In the past, it is true, there has been too much emphasis laid upon the "Thou shalt not's," but Jesus constantly inculcated positive and aggressive and complete lives.
Another misapprehension is that Christianity and religion in general aim primarily to prepare us for another world than this, and quite overlooks the present life save as a preparation. In fact, Christianity is always insisting on the duty of the present moment. It measures the value of a man's religion by his daily conduct. And while, it is true, it treasures a blessed hope of a life to come, it believes that the best preparation for the life to come lies in conforming the life that now is to the standard of Jesus of Nazareth.
A third cause for hesitation on the part of young people in associating themselves in Christian organizations is the fact that they are still in doubt about many problems. This should be no ground for holding off. No man is ever free from doubts. Beliefs are not of primary importance, but are to be tested by the life. Jesus himself said: "If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it be of God." Christianity is not a system of dogmas, but a life. Christ himself summed it all up in "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy mind and with all thy might, and thy neighbor as thyself; on these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." To those who sincerely accept this summary of the essentials of Christianity, the Christian churches and institutions offer a hearty welcome and an enlarged opportunity of usefulness.

The course covering four years begins during the last week in September and continues until June. A preliminary training in natural science is of great advantage. All the classes are divided in small sections for recitations, laboratory and clinical bedside instruction. Students are admitted to advanced standing after passing the requisite examinations. The successful completion of the first year in any college or University recognized by the Regents of the State of New York as maintaining a satisfactory standard is sufficient to satisfy the requirements for admission which have lately been raised. The annual announcement giving full particulars will be mailed on application.

Napoleon Lajojie's Official Base Ball Guide for 1906 is the first Guide on the market this spring and a copy has just been received at this office. Fandom has been awaiting the publication of this Guide with considerable interest because it has been a matter of general curiosity as to just what kind of a publication the much talked of Lajojie Guide would be inasmuch as this is the first time that a player actively engaged in the game has ever essayed the publication of a Guide. If there have been any doubters about the merits of this Guide they are going to be very agreeably surprised as the Lajojie Guide is everything that has been promised for it and is sure to make a favorable impression with the great army of baseball fans. The Guide is less technical than other publications of this character which has appeared in the past but it contains everything of the technical nature that the average fan cares for and besides this it is teeming with interesting features which are noticeably absent in other baseball guides. The illustrations alone are well worth the price of the Lajojie Guide because in addition to the regular sterotyped pictures which are always tobe found in a baseball guide, this book is full of action pictures of the famous players of the present day and there is a special group of pictures of the World's Series between the New York Giants and the Athletics which were taken especially for the Lajojie Guide. Besides illustrated articles on batting, bunting, pitching and base running the Guide contains the revised rules for 1906. The Lajojie Guide is for sale at all news stands.
