OUR Athletic Column is attracting considerable attention. It is proving a good feature under the management of Mr. Whitman.
In our last week's issue we inadvertently omitted to place the name of Prof. Carruth over the poem "Lieder Ohne Worte," which we copied from the Cosmopolitan.
SPEAKING of poetry, we wish to acknowledge the receipt of a poem called "The Hero of Lost River," by Dan B. Brummitt of Baker University, and editor of the Index. The poem is very well done and is published in a neat little pamphlet. Mr. Brummitt has already made several contributions of poetry to his college papers, and the students receive them well. We wish to extend our thanks for "The Hero of Lost River."
THE Regents have voted $300 towards fitting up the athletic grounds, and the money subscribed by the students will be collected immediately. The matter should be pushed as fast as possible, in order to get the improvement of the grounds well under way this spring. We are unfortunate just now in the athletic line, for having lost several of our best base ball players. The K. S. U. nine will feel lost without Hickey, Curry, or Voorhis. One thing is necessary now, practice.
This is one of the best features inter-collegiate associations of all kinds.
A NUMBER of the colleges of the State are uniting to form a new oratorical association. This is a good scheme, and we hope it will succeed. The present State Oratorical Association is nearly as large as can be made without becoming cumbrous. The formation of a new state association will foster the oratorical spirit and what is more, will make the students of the different colleges comprised in the association better acquainted with each other.

CHANCELLOR SNOW.
K. S. U. HAS A CHANCELLOR AT LAST.
It was announced last Friday afternoon that the Regents had at last elected a Chancellor, and that the choice had fallen unanimously upon our honored Professor Snow. The result had been expected for some time and was not a surprise, but it gave rise to a feeling of profound gratification. That the senior member of the faculty, the man who for twenty-five years had helped to guide the minds of the youth of K. S. U. and build up here in Kansas a university to which its alumni could look back with enthusiasm, and to which every Kansan could point with pride,—that Professor Snow should be chosen for the position seemed eminently fitting and proper. Professor Snow came here in 1866 when the university was founded and at that time wished to become professor of Latin and Greek. Taking the chair of Natural History however, he has built up a department which has become the pride of the university and the State. This year he was prevailed upon to assume the duties of President of the Faculty. Taking this position for the sake of the University, and sacrificing his own wishes in the matter, he has conducted the executive work of the University this year judiciously and efficiently. And now at last, recognizing the sentiment through the state that the chief office in the State University should be filled by one of own faculty, the Regents recognizing the seniority in office, and the tried ability and worth of Professor Snow, have bestowed upon him the responsible office of Chancellor. May the State University prosper and grow under his management. And now for the students' side. Prof. Snow has always been a favorite with the students. Young in heart himself, his sympathies with young men and women are very strong, and his cooperation in everything contributing to the welfare of the students has made him exceedingly popular, and has rendered his influence on the student body very great indeed. So that when the Regents decision was known, every student voted "aye." Last Friday evening the greater portion of the students was assembled at the University attending the various clubs and societies. Notice was soon circulated for the students to gather immediately after the closing of the University at 10 o'clock and march to the residence of the new Chancellor. When the time came, a great band of students formed in line, and with a tremendous yell, started on their way. College songs pierced the atmosphere, not euphoniously, but vigorously at least, and then the whole line forming in column of twos, with uniform step was mending its way down Tennessee street at double quick. Snow,——Snow F.——H.——Snow, was the shout thru
——F.—H.—Snow, was the shout they raised, and to whose regular
cadence their feet kept time Reaching the Chancellor's house the boys gave a yell that would wake the dead, and soon in response to repeated calls Professor Snow appeared, and then what a cheer they raised. After the tumult had subsided a little, a speech was called for, Prof. Snow responded with a good one. Giving three cheers for the Chancellor, and after giving the 'Varsity yell three times, they shouted good night and marched down to Massachusetts street. Forming an immense circle, the students joined hands and danced round under the glare of the electric light, speeches were made by Professors and students, and after a general good time had been participated, in line was formed again for the Santa Fe depot, where Prof Snow was to take the train for Topeka. The same scene of hurrahing and speech making was repeated, when the train came in the students lifted the Chancellor to their shoulders and carried him or board the train, and as the train moved off its roar was lost in the roar and shout of a great mob of enthusiastic students. Marching back to town the circle was formed again, and more speeches more songs and more yells woke the echoes, and finally all adjourned for home. Saturday night the celebration was continued on a still larger scale. Meeting at the Central school the students all marched as before to Prof. Snow's residence where the Old and New Club were meeting. Speeches were made by Prof. Snow and the other professors and the enthusiasm was immense. A big bonfire on Massachusetts street capped the climax. Thus the students welcome Prof. Snow to the Chancellorship. No more gratifying demonstration or more enthusiastic reception could be given any man. Congratulations, Chancellor Snow, and best wishes for the success of your administration is what the KANSAN desires to offer you.
SEVERAL new arrangements have been made in the University by the Regents at their last meeting. The work in the Natural History department is redivided, owing to Prof. Snow's election to the Chancellorship. His chair will be that of Botany and Entomology. Logic and Metaphysics, which have formerly been under the Chancellor's direction will be given to some one else. Mr. S.W. Willinton, formerly of the State Agricultural College, and now of Yale, will be Associate Professor of Geology and Paleontology. Miss Gertrude Crotty has been made assistant in Zoology and Physiology. Prof. Dunlap is raised from Associate Professor in English, to the full chair of English and Belles Lettres. A new course to be known as the Latin-English course is also spoken of.
