A NEW Inter-Collegiate Scientific Society has recently been established at the State University. Most of our students know of its establishment, and would like to hear some particulars in regard to it. In 1886, there was established by the Scientific Faculty of Cornell University the Sigma Xi Society, a body of scientific men "to reward work, to encourage work and to accomplish scientific work itself." Soon chapters were established in Stevens' Institute of Technology. Rutger's College, New Jersey; Troy Polytechnic; and Union College, Schenectady. Prominent scientists interested themselves and under-graduates were admitted to membership during Senior and Junior years of scientific work.
In extension of this society, the Scientificist men of the faculty of the State University have succeeded in obtaining permission from the faculty to establish a chapter of Sigma Xi here and a charter will soon be issued. The society is in no wise secret, but aims to do for scientific students what the venerable Phi Beta Kappa haa done and is doing for literary students. The constitution says "The objects of this association shall be to grant its privileges of membership to distinguished students in science and engineering, to undergraduates as a reward for eminent scientific attainments, and to those without college halls, as a confirmation of success already achieved in science. To meet for the discussion of scientific subjects. To supplement the regular course of instruction in science by original investigation. To conduct meetings or exercises open to the public, where shall be treated some of the great problems before science and the country. To undertake the publication of such scientific matter as deemed desirable and to influence a fraternal feeling between these brother workers in science."
The chacter members are the heads of the Scientific Departments: Chancellor Snow, Profs. Bailey, Marvin, Miller, Dyche and Blake. Graduate members must have presented at least one scientific article in a reputable scientific publication.
At a recent meeting the assistants in the Scientific Departments. Messrs. W. C. Stevens, W. S. Franklin, E. C. Murphy and E. C. Franklin were selected to membership. The honor was conferred upon three of the present graduating class, D. E. Esterly, C. S McFarland, and E. E. Slosson.
We are told that the base ball nine is to undergo some revision. We hope it will be revised, or have something done for it that will insure a game or two for the University. The main thing the nine lacks is regular practice. We have a good battery, and several good basemen. Where the nine seems to lack most in is the fielders and batters. It was noticed last Friday and Saturday that the Emporia men, while possessing no startling or phenomenon, players, was composed of first class all-aound players;—men who never let a fly go past them in the field, whose short stop always stopped the balls short, and whose batting was excellent. In fact they had several men whom they could put in the places of their regular battery without serious detriment. It was noticed that they all played together well and that the men always had themselves placed somehow or other, so that the balls batted by our boys, came right into their hands. Among our players last Saturday, perhaps Hi Adams, who pitched during the latter part of the game gained as much credit, and elicited as much surprise as any. His pitching was certainly the best that had been done by the K. S. U. nine during that day. Arrangements have now been made, we understand, by which Mr. Smith our pitcher, will be paid to practice regularly and thus be relieved from his work down town. This will strengthen the nine considerably. Now if our boys will practice frequently there is no reason why the somewhat heterogeneous elements of which the nine is composed, may not be formed into a first-class working nine.
We received a short time ago the April number of the eighth series of the John Hopkius University Studies. This number consists of a monograph by Professor Blackmar on "Spanish Colonization in the Southwest." The field which it takes up is entirely new to most of us, and the manner in which it is treated in the paper before us makes it very interesting and instructive reading. It begins by taking up the Spanish policy in colonization, and compares it with the Roman colonization system; the first Spanish commercial monopolies and the first attempts at settlement are there discussed. These settlements were
situated within the boundary of the present United States, in what is now California and New Mexico. The mission system of settlement is taken up and treated at some length, this being one of the most important phases of Spanish settlement. The missions; their rise and downfall, are treated, and the relations of the Spaniards with the Indians.
After this the Civic Colonies are taken up and the methods of founding the Spanish secular colonies is set forth, together with the administration, character and final failure of the civil colonies. The Presidial Pueblos, or military settlements is the last topic discussed in the monograph. We may remark here that this paper forms an abridgment of a thesis on the same subject which Professor Blackmar prepared for the degree of Ph D. at Johns Hopkins. It is quite an honor now to be a writer of monographs for the Johns Hopkins series, and the publication of any papers in that series is sufficient warrant of their worth and value, and establishes the reputation of a contributor as a worker in special lines. Prof. Blackmar is a hard worker. He came here this year to a new position with five new courses of lectures to prepare, and has consequently been kept extremely busy all winter, and in addition he has contributed several papers to the seminary, and has had other outside work to do. A short time ago we noticed the valuable work from his hands on Federal and States Aid to Education in the United States. His last production, on the Spanish Colonies in the Southwest takes up a subject which has been treated but little, and therefore offers a fresh and interesting fund of information. The style in which the monogram is written is attractive and it will repay every student of American history to read it.
We have received a copy of "The First Alumni Catalogue of the Academic Departments of the University of Kansas." The work has been completed by Prof. M. W Sterling, 83; President of the Alumni Association. It contains a preface, giving an account of the growth of the Alumni Association, and the Constitution and By-Laws of the Association, with its officers since its organization in 1883. Then comes the roll of the alumni. The address, present occupation, and in many instances brief sketches of the life and work of each. This information is most valuable and will be of great interest to the alumni. This is the first time any attempt has been made to present a catalogue of the alumni in which a sketch of the life and work of each has been given.
We hope the work which Prof. Sterling has so faithfully performed for the Academic Departments may be done also for the Pharmacy and Law schools, so as to make a complete record of all the alumni of
the University. This work should be kept up from year to year with such revisions and changes as may be required. In this way the alumni will be connected with their Alma Mater, and with each other. The summary at the close of the catalogue contains some interesting data. We find that the whole number of graduates is 233, of whom 146 are men, and 87 are women. The percentage of men being $ 62\frac{1}{2} $ and of women $ 37\frac{1}{2} $ Of these 64 of the men and 42 of the women are married, the percentage of married alumni being 43 6-7 for the men, and $ 48\frac{1}{4} $ for the women. Of degrees we have, Bachelors of Arts, 129; Bachelors of Science, 59; Masters of Arts, 24; Masters of Science, 13; Bachelors of Didactics, 19; Bachelors of Civil Engineering, 8; Doctors of Science, 1; Doctors of Philosophy, 1; of these the number counted twice is 21. Their residences are distributed as follows: Kansas, 142; Missouri, 15; Colorado, 8; Washington, 6; District of Columbia, 9; Texas, 5; Illinois, 5; Pennsylvania, 4; Indian Territory, 4; Iowa, 4; California, Indiana, New York, Montana, and Nebraska, 3 each; New Mexico, Utah, Massachusetts, and Ohio, 2 each; and Arizona, Michigan, Maryland, Mexico and China, one each. Six, only, are in the roll of the dead. As to occupations, our alumni are distributed as follows: Teachers, 55; engaged in domestic duties, 45; Lawyers, 32; Civil Engineers, 17; Journalists, 10; Ministers, 10; Students, 16; Physicians, 8; Merchants, 6; Farmers, 6; Druggists, 5; Bankers, 3; Miscellaneous, 26. Of these 12 are counted twice.
COMMENCEMENT
This certainly is an interesting roll. A large proportion of the graduates are in the higher professions, and the great preponderance of them reside still in the state of Kansas. Altogether, Prof. Sterling's catalogue is a fund of valuable and interesting information, and we hope it will be continued by the University from year to year, and be made to include all the alumni of the other departments.
We would like to improve the appearance of all our Kansas young ladies. Were such a thing possible by selling them their Graduating and Commencement Gowns. We have a lovely stock from which to supply your wants, and will do it at reasonable rates.

Rowing.
One of the old philosophers once said of all exercises for the development of the constitution and for the promotion of health of body give me rowing. A modern philosopher said the same thing the other day adding that Dolly Graebler furnished fine boats for rowing.
