SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 1906 UNIVERSITY CALENDAR. Wednesday, April 18, Y. W. C. A. Junior Meeting. Thursday, April 19, Junior Prom. Friday, April 20, Meeting of superintendents and principals. Professor Kelsey will talk in chapel. High school track meet. Base ball, Kansas University v. Oklahoma University. Saturday, April 21, Base ball, Kansas University v. Oklahoma University. Kansas-Baker debate. If well begun is half done,the base ball season just opening will be all that could be asked for Kansas. The boys have a way of their own of delivering the goods. The Washburn Review and the Baker Orange have both given the base ball championship of the state to their respective schools. The Orange and the Review will settle the matter through the medium of their editorial columns in a week or two. The first meeting of Kansas and Nebraska was all that could have been desired in the way of harmony and good spirit, with perhaps one exception. Their manager got sore at the jollying of the rooters, but the team took everything in a gentlemanly way that is to be praised. In the points in question yesterday, Kansas yielded everything rather than to leave any doubts as to the justice of the decisions. Nebraska really got the benefits of some very slight doubts, but we are satisfied, and from the spirit shown by the Cornhusker team, they should be more than pleased to admit the liberality of the decisions. One week from tonight is the Kansas-Baker debate, the first contest of the kind between the two institutions for several years. Both of the debating teams are the best their respective institutions could muster, and the debate will be a contest of brains from start to finish. Enthusiasm in debate is just as important as it is in a football game, and our team wants and should have the support of the whole University. That enthusiasm must and will be of a different sort from the free for all scraps that marked a Kansas-Baker meeting in the olden times. The times have passed, and with them the method of letting off steam, but that is no hindrance to the existence of an equally healthy loyalty to the University representatives. AN EPOCH IN DEBATING. A New Interest in the University Helping. "Never was such an interest shown in debating work at Kansas University, as is being manifested by the various classes and societies here this year," said Professor E. G. Frazier, of the department of public speaking, recently. "For the first time in the history of the University we have a debate between representatives of two classes,-the sophomore and freshmen. In the preparation; the selection of men on both sides, and the choice of a suitable question for debate, the classes are taking a lively interest." The work of debating at the University took a fresh start last year when Kansas won from both Missouri and Iowa, taking the negative side of the Trade Union question with one, and the affirmative with the other university. This year debates are being arranged for between the various classes, literary societies and fraternities. On April 14, representatives of five fraternities will contest, for the second time, for the silver cup given by Ewing Herbert to the fraternity winning first place for five times. The first contest which took place last spring was won by the representative of the Sigma Chis. In addition to these local debates the annual contests with Missouri and Iowa and the Baker debate will make this year in debating circles, "the greatest in the history of the institution."

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. THREE SIMPLE MOTIONS TO FILL The ORIGINAL and ONLY GENUINE CONKLIN'S SELF-FILLING PEN W. M. POLK, M. D., LL.
