Miss Nellie Franklin has returned to Lawrence and expects to teach music here this summer. Her many friends in the University are glad to see her back.
The Regents will be asked at their next meeting to make a small appropriation to assist in employing a general secretary for the University Y.M.C.A.
V. L. Kellogg was elected by the Regents last week assistant Professor of Entomology. He will begin his work next fall. Mr. Kellogg is a careful worker and will be a popular instructor.
The honorary scientific Society, Sigma Xi, which was organized in the University some time ago, elected the following members Monday: D. E. Esterley, C. S. McFarland and E. E. Slosson.
The meeting held in the chapel Tuesday morning to elect two students to act with the faculty as a chapel committee was quite largely attended. The persons chosen for next year were Miss Virginia Spencer and C. P. Chapman. It is believed that through the influence of this committee attendance at chapel may be increased.
Another party has been formed this year to spend the summer in Estes Park. Those so far reported as sure to go are Peairs, Hadley, Moore, Peabody and Robinson.
The report comes from Washington that Prof. Sayre who is attending the National Pharmaceutical convention at that place has been appointed by the convention to assist in revising the Pharmacopoeia. The convention has adopted the metric system of weights and measures, and that system will hereafter be used by the pharmacists of the country.
Prof. George B. Penny who at present has charge of the music department of the State Normal school has been chosen Dean of the music department of the University. Prof. Penny has studied in several of the best schools in both America and Europe and has met with great success as a teacher. The music department of the Normal school owes what it is to his efforts. He will spend this summer in study in Germany and will return to the University in time to arrange for next year's work. The University is fortunate in securing as the head of the music department so able a man and one with so enviable a reputation throughout the State. What has been accomplished here by Prof. McDonald will be maintained and the reputation of our music department will continue to extend.
KAPPA KAPPA GAMMA.
Last Saturday afternoon the young ladies of Kappa Kappa Gamma entertained a number of their friends at the pleasant home of Miss Allie Mason on Ohio street. The program of the afternoon consisted of Kappa songs, and a lecture by Prof. Blake. Prof. Blake spoke of the Passion Play which is performed once in ten years years by the peasants of Bavaria and which he saw in 1880. He gave an analysis of the play and a description of the persons who took the different parts. His talk like all his talks was instructive and interesting and was much enjoyed by the Kappas and their guests. After the lecture refreshments were served and a general good time indulged in. The entertainment was as pleasant as it was novel.

CHIEF JUSTICE HORTON'S ADDRESS.
Chief Justice Horton lectured before the Kent Club last Tuesday night. His subject was "The jury system—its origin, development and the needed reforms." He said that just where the jury system originated is not certain. The present system however was first adopted in England. The number of a common jury has so far as we know has always been twelve. How this number came to be fixed upon is not known. Perhaps on account of some ancient superstition. There were twelve prophets, twelve tribes of Israel, twelve judges, twelve apostles and numerous other powers composed of twelve members. In early times the jurors were with nesses in the case they tried. If they failed to agree the number was increased until twelve did agree to some verdict, and this verdict was taken. He advocated three reforms in the present jury system of this country. There should be no exemption from service except sickness or physical disability. The best men in the community should be compelled to serve. Impression received from newspaper accounts should not disqualify a man as a juror. This custom throws out the most intelligent men and fills our jury boxes with the ignorant and worthless. In the third place a unanimous verdict should not be required. It is expensive, unjust and contrary to American principles. In this country majorities should rule. This unanimity is required only in England and the United States. Three of the States have already decided that in civil cases a majority may render a verdict.

The K. S. U. ball nine has played its first games and has been badly beaten. We might publish the official score with its long list of errors but the whole result may be summed up when we say, 'lack of practice.' It is true that the result of the games might have been different if Emporia had not run in its pitcher and two other players from the city of Emporia, but the games would certainly have been no better, and even with the outside players Emporia could have been easily beaten had our nine played but a fair game. We believe that the nine can beat Emporia and that it will win at least one game when it plays Emporia May 30th and 31st. Pitcher Smith has now arranged his time so that he can practice with the nine two hours each afternoon and the boys have done some hard work in the last few days. The material is here from which a good nine can be secured and we feel certain that the farces of last Friday and Saturday will not be repeated. The follow ing is the score by innings:

RIGHT ON OVERSIDE
FACULTY VS. SENIORS.
The annual game between these two august bodies will be played on the ball grounds Friday after noon, May 23d. This will be without doubt the most exciting game of the season as the players are all but professionals. Comfortable seats will be erected on the grounds so that the ladies may attend. This is the big attraction of the season. Below are the names of the players and their positions:
FACULTY. SENIORS.
Canfield A. g. Pitcher. Watson

K. S. U. VS. WILLIAM JEWELL.
No. 33.
To-morrow afternoon the ball nine will play with William Jewell College at Chelsea Park, Kansas City. The nine has been strengthened this week besides having practiced every afternoon, and there is every reason to believe that the boys will put up a good game of ball. They are certainly working hard to strengthen the team and should receive the support and encouragement of the whole student body. Let a large number of students accompany the nine to
Kansas City and back it up by some genuine K. S. U. enthusiasm. We know that the game will be worth seeing. Below are the names of players and their positions:
K, S, U. WILLIAM JEWELL.
Smith ... Pitcher ... Marsh
Davis ... Catcher ... McComm
Flintsmon ... 1st Base ... Turtt
Adams ... 1st Base ... Black
Harvey ... 3rd Base ... Whitofte
Crawford ... S. Stop ... Lane

TENNIS AT EL DORADO.
DOUBLES.
The first set resulted in a score of 10-8 in favor of K. S. U. This set was won by K. S. U. after repeatedly having 'vantage out called on the 'vantage out game of the set. The second set stood 7 to 5 in favor of K. S. U., as did the third set. These sets were all stubbornly contested, but the winning games of the deuce sets seemed always to fall to K. S. U. The record of three straight in deuce games is remarkable.
SINGLES.
The singles were played by Bronson for El Dorado and Whitman for K. S. U. The first set was won by K. S. U., by the score of 6-4 after some sharp playing. The second set was won by Bronson 7-5. Bronson won the first four games of the set and Whitman was unable to overtake the lead although the score was raised to five all.
Third set was won by Whitman, 6-0. Fourth set by Whitman, 6-2.
The matches were all best three out of five and the complete score is:
Doubles—K. S. U. won; 10-8 7-5; 7-5.
Singles—K. S. U. won; 6-4; 5-7; 6-0; 6-2.
After the late base ball disasters it is particularly encouraging to see our tennis players keep up their former record.
