The annual track meet of high schools passed off in a very satisfactory manner for all concerned. The weather was fine and the events were pulled off without a hitch under the management of Manager Lansdon.
The Juniors set a pace in entertainment this year that will not be easily equaled by the classes in the future. Everything was provided of the best, and the class came out with a small balance after all expenses were paid. The elimination of the "scrap" feature added greatly to the dignity of the occasion, and enabled the class to concentrate their efforts on the entertainment of their guests.
The destructive earthquake which played havoc with San Francisco, very seriously damaged the great Leland Stanford University at Palo Alto, and will doubtless seriously affect the progress of that institution, which has been such a figure among educational institutions of the country. Chancellor Strong sent a telegram at once to the president of the University, extending the sympathy of the University of Kansas for her sister school in the calamity.
Professor Kelsey scored a deplorable tendency among a certain class of American college students in his remarks in chapel yesterday morning, by ridiculing the attempt to make up for a "fifty per cent standing in class by the purchase of a fifty dollar bull dog." There is not much of that sort of thing in the University of Kansas, nor any of the strictly western colleges, but the tendency to something approaching it does crop out at times. The spirit does
not necessarily show itself in the bull dog failing either.
German Version of Carmen.
Professor E. F. Engel of the German department translated the "Crimson and the Blue" into German for the German program last night. His version is as follows:
Ragend über ferne Täler
Herrlich ist zu sehn,
Unsre edle Alma Mater
In den blauen Hohn
Chor:
Hoch der Chor und immer vorwärts Rot und Blau dazu
Heil dir, unsre Alma Mater,
Heil dir, K. S. U.!
Weit vom Lärm der Stadt entfernet,
Man die Lag' ihr gab,
Aus der frischen Luft da droben
Sieht sie stolz herab.
Chor:
Also sei gegrüsset Mutter
Edle Freunden du,
Singen wir je dir zum Lobe,
Liebe K. S. U.
Chor:
Uebersetzt von E. F. ENGEL.
Modern Education.
Professor Kelsey of the University of Michigan delivered an excellent talk of the scope and tendencies of modern educational systems in chapel Friday morning. He traced the growth of the public school idea, the change in the status of religion in the schools and the elective movement in high schools and colleges. In the latter connection he declared that the opposite tendency is already at work, and it is only a question of a short time until a more rigid curriculum will be prescribed.

An "Outlaw" League.
The Laws, Medics and Pharmies threaten to organize an "outlaw" baseball league because they were not scheduled in the inter-class baseball tournament which will take place during the next month. The other schools held class elections and each class elected a captain and manager,and these three schools organized separately. However,the silver cup is billed to the class winning the class tournament and the Laws, Medics, and Pharmics will probably be forced to try for the other teams which are now made up on paper by the respective captains. This the three schools refuse to do and unless they are admitted to the tournament they will form an "outlaw" league.
Cornell University Medical College. New York City.
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.
