Mrs. Bellville-Brown, Pres. of Federation of Clubs speaks in chapel.
Kansas-Washburn base ball game on McCook field.
French Play in Fraternal Aid Hall.
The Methodists were delightfully generous in their way of dealing out the score to the base ball team-another case of a Baker's dozen.
Thirteen to four is the way Baker's epitaph looks to us, and after three weeks of boasting about what their team would do when Kansas came down there. They certainly did it. Our team earned about half of what they got in the way of score, and the rest was "what Baker did to them."
With a part of what Manager Lansdon said in chapel yesterday morning, if literally taken, we cannot agree. But when he condemned "rattling" a visiting team as unsportsmanlike, if he intended to score a lot of inane roasting of the individual players that is usually evident, we are with him heartily. Cheering is all right in any quantity and all the time, so long as it is good-natured and directed to the encouragement of the team. Without it there would be no interest in a contest, and the spirit which is half the value of school athletics would be lost.
Why do we go to college? Did you ever closely question yourself? Have you ever tried to figure out just why a higher education attracts you? Do you come to college to play or to grind, or to mix just enough play and enough grind to make life worth living? Some of us come to work, but change to play. A few, very few, come to play and change to work. Around us we see both the player and the grind. If we are freshmen we have the chance to choose the footsteps of either. If we are upper classmen, we discover that our pathway is already well defined. To a
greater part of the outside world the college career consists of four years of devilment, pipes and cigarettes, liquor and bulldogs, or things which produce thin, sickly looking individuals who know nothing outside their books. The outside public should recognize that a college-bred man is not the rough-housing, harum scarum sart of being, nor the tall, weakeyed cadaverous individual, who furnishes material for the comic supplements.
The Chancellor has spoken of making the Junior Prom the "main social event of the year," and that everyone should strive to make it such—that the WHOLE SCHOOL should be interested in it. It seems to us that such sentiment is inconsistent with the fact that Senior and Middle Laws were not invited to the Prom. Possibly it is a little crude to knock because we are not participants, but it is our idea that if the Prom is for the Arts and Engineers—(well and good, we have our Fall Law Party)—then it should be known as such and not as a whole university function, for when anything of the latter sort happens we of the Law School wish a chance to help to make it a whole school affair.—Lawyer.
The above extract from the last number of the Lawyer states an objection on the part of the professional men of the University that is not altogether without some reason. As a mere matter of consistency, it seems that it would be right that for this occasion all men who will receive degrees should at least rank as seniors. The editorial is reprinted by request of some of the professional men who now have no part in the annual university event.

Bicycle Playing Card's at Vic's.
It isn't strange, however, that "particular" people, who have looked at Clothing in the other stores cease to look further, once they have seen Ours!
It's very annoying to have to look about for Clothes.
"I've been buying Clothes at So-and-So's, but I like your clothes so much better is an expression frequently heard here.
It's annoying.
If every man in search of Clothes would make it a point to see ours, we imagine there would be little business for other stores.

Leland Stanford Student Tells of the Disaster.
SAW THE EARTHQUAKE.
W. Carl Miller, who was a student at Leland-Stanford University until the recent earthquake disaster there, is here visiting Philip Nelson and other friends at the University. Mr. Miller was an eyewitness of the disaster, and gives an interesting account of it. The splendid new library building yet unoccupied and the new $350,000 gymnasium were completely wrecked. The memorial arch and the dormitories were badly damaged, and many of the class buildings were seriously wrecked. The University will, however, open for its summer session and for the regular fall term in September.
Light on Iowa Debate.
A general attack by the Daily Iowan on the debating management at that institution throws some light on the Kansas-Iowa debate deal which was dropped on the responsibility of the Iowans. Kansas was to have met the law school team, but the original date conflicted with a debate that another team had the same night. The following seems to indicate that there was another reason back of it: "The laws got ready to meet Kansas, and a merciful Providence prevents a meeting which would have furnished an opportunity for another defeat. The University gets no glory out of this sort of thing, nor do the men get much benefit."
The Iowan wants to take the debates from the control of the schools and literary societies and throw them open to all the University.
