The chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa society, for which a charter was granted our University at the National Council of the society last fall, has been organized, Professors Snow, J. H. Canfield, Robinson, Wilcox, Blake, A. G. Canfield and Winkler being the charter members. Last Wednesday the election of undergraduate members from the Senior class was held, and Esterly, Liddeke, Hill, Slosson and Miss Goodell were the recipients of the honor. Though the Phi Beta Kappa is a very old society and very widely known, some wrong notions seem to be current in regard to it. It is essentially an open society, no pledge of secrecy being usually put upon its members, and its aim is defined by its constitution to be "the promotion of scholarship and friendship among the graduates of American colleges." Election to membership is the basis of scholarship, though not necessarily determined by the grades of the student. Not more than one-fourth of any class may be chosen. The election of the undergraduate members is to be held regularly in the future, we believe, immediately after the semi-annual examinations at the end of the first term.
Athletic Column.
R. R. WHITMAN ... EDITOR
Let each student show his loyalty for University projects by attending the performance at the Opera House this evening, given for the Athletic Fund. Each student ought to feel a personal interest in having a suitable athletic field, for it is a matter which concerns each one. In the first instance it will be a place for all students to engage in athletic work under the most favorable conditions. This will tend toward creating a higher standard in athletics and consequently in the formation of much stronger athletic teams. With the increase of excellence in athletics, the development of the finer points of such work, and the ability to cope successfully with teams of recognized standing, will come an increase of interest and enthusiasm in the teams and athletics in general and with every victory over outside clubs an enthusiasm and love for our own University which will bind all students closer together, and will determine the influence of the University in the future.
With a suitable athletic field secured will come the need of a gymnasium which will then be much more readily obtained for the need of one will be much more apparent. Above all, if the students of the University work energetically and with enthusiasm for these things which are deemed necessary, help will come from other sources which would not come at all if the students simply waited for an appropriation or something to turn up. We have made a beginning in the right direction, the faculty are working with us, the athletic board is hard at work, but whether the work is accomplished rests on the interest shown and the work done by each student personally, and so let each student make himself a committee of one to work actively for the athletic field and the athletics of the University.
Samples of tennis and baseball caps in the University colors have been received from Wright and Ditson, Boston, and may be seen at Field & Hargis' Book Store. The colors corn yellow and blue work up very nicely and these caps are as handsome as any we have ever seen. We do not believe that the beauty of our colors has been duly appreciated. Field & Hargis will order a large number of the caps which with the belts of the combination colors, which they will sell almost at cost, making the cap and belt the cheapest sold considering the quality of the goods. The athletic Board will undoubtedly furnish the college teams with these caps and belts as soon as it is possible to secure a supply of them. It is also to be hoped that each student engaged in athletic work will procure one of these caps and belts, for no other colors should be worn. We ought to make our colors as well known in the west as those of Harvard and Yale are in the east, and the only way to do this is to display the colors on every occasion.
NOTES.

The ball teams got in some good prac last Friday and Srturday.
