TUESDAY, MARCH 1, 1910.
The University has had a tragic object-lesson in the danger that attends the "beating" on one's way on trains. Boyish zest for running risks and doing some dangerous "stunt" cost a life or promise and brought grief into a home when young Gregory fel from a moving train at Bonne Springs last Saturday. What has happened can not be undone, but others can at least profit by the tragedy. For, among the students of the University, the practice of "riding the blind" is by no means an uncommon one. Besides the trips to Kansas City and other towns nearby, which are taken as a matter of course it has been customary for some students to beat their way to places where University team meet those of other schools in athletic contests. The practice is even commoner at other schools than it is at the University of Kansas. At the University of Missouri there is a "hobe club" among the students. To qualify for membership in it, a man must "bum" his way for a thousand miles. Students of the University of Illinois, it is said swarm to the trains for days in advance of an important game at Chicago. With the occurrence of last week in the memory of the students here, it is to be hoped that "riding the blind" will never again be a popular method of travel at the University.
Today The Kansan is issued under the management of the new board of officers recently elected. The new board hopes to maintain The Kansan as the representative publication of the student body. It hopes to make improvements in the paper during its incumbency in office, in keeping with the improvements which previous boards have made. The men who have just completed a year of service as officers of The Kansan have pursued a policy of printing the news of the University openly and fearlessly. That policy has met with praise—a little faint, perhaps—in some quarters, and censure—unmistakably voiced—in others. It is the intention of the new board to continue that policy, in the belief that it reflects the best sentiment of the University public,of which the paper is the representative.
Last week was a compa rtively easy one at the University
with a holiday and two half-hol idays in which to rest up from the two and one-half days of study. Next week the students will have an opportunity to energize. With a Bible institute, a convention of representatives of accredited schools, a basketball tournament and a track meet, in addition to an unbroken study program, it will be a full week.
From reports that have reached Lawrence of the way in which the rules were interpreted in the recent basket-ball games between Kansas and Missouri, it is a fair inference that basket-ball is running pugilism a close race as the great fistic game of the country.

THE CREEDS OF YALE.
Episcopalians Now Outnumber the Congregationalists There.
New Haven, Conn., Feb. 25.—The class vote announced today by Yale academic seniors shows that for the first time there are more Episcopalians than Congregationalists in a graduating ela- There are sixty Episcopalians to fifty-two Congregationalists and forty-seven Presbyterians, with the other denominations scattering.
Daily compulsory chapel was lustily voted by the class, 206 to 23, who voted for optional morning prayer. On the other hand 133 believed Sunday chapel should be made optional, while ninety voted for compulsory Sunday attendance.
Stevenson was voted the favorite author, and "Crossing the Bar" the favorite poem. Water easily led beer as the favorite beverage.
According to the present census, 1299 students are enrolled in English at the University. Of this number, 700 are taking freshman rhetoric, in which study there are twenty-three divisions. On account of the large number of divisions, the department is having trouble in finding rooms in which to hold the morning classes. One division recently had to be placed in the journalism class room, which has been kept open for laboratory purposes until that time.
Many Freshman English Classes.

CHAMPIONS FOR THIRD SEASON
HAMILTON'S MEN MADE A GREAT RECORD.
For the Third Successive Season Kansas Has Romped Away With the Honors.
The basket-ball season is over and the Jayhawkers are again the champions of the Missouri valley. This honor was won by taking 17 out of the 18 games played. Only one defeat stood between Captain Johnson's men and an ever-victorious season.
The best teams of the Missouri valley conference were met and decisively defeated. Any claim that the Kansas City Athletic club might have to the premier honors of this section was put out of action by defeating that team on its own court, and most of all, the Kansas state championship was successfully defended against the strong teams of Baker and the State Agricultural college.
The men who composed the team are men of whom the University may well be proud. They are athletes of the very best type and at the same time students of more than usual ability. Three of the men, Captain Johnson Woodard, and Martindell played their last game for the University Saturday night at Lincoln. In their plaees for next year are at least two men who have had much experience. Van der Vries and Larson played in nearly all the games on the trip and their work was of championship quality.
One need only to look over the scores made by the team during the season to see the work that the men and the coach have done to attain the position they now hold. It is apparent to every one that Kansas has made a long stride on the bright path of yearly victories. Following is the record of the team this season:

Seismograph Installed.
The seismograph, which has caused a considerable amount of comment at the University of late, has finally been installed. Just a bit too late to record the slight shock at St. Louis yesterday Professor Cady hastened to place the instrument in readiness. It was set up this morning in the north end of the basement of Fraser hall and is now ready to record any future quivering of the earth's surface. However the "time circuit" which records the time of the shock is yet to be added before the installation is complete.
Will Speak at Y. W. C. A.
