No tree was ever planted on the campus before that blossomed out quite so soon after being set out as did the Senior's tree. To plant a tree one day and to see it the next day full of blossoms and foliage is unusual. The Seniors may be proud if every enterprise they undertake thrives so well.
In his speech to the students who "called upon him" last Friday night Prof. Snow said among other things the following:

This play is not a "laughing influenza of la gripe," nor "150 laughfs in 150 minutes," nor "the funniest show on earth" but a bright sparkling unabridged commentary of the times. The company has not just come from a 600 night engagement in New York; will not parade the street in costume with a brass band and the actors are prohibited from displaying one hundred thousand dollars worth of diamonds in the last act. The cosmes are sufficient but home made. This will be the event of the University season. Don't miss it.
Seats will be on sale at Crew's book store, Tuesday morning April 22. Remember the State Oratorical contest and take warning. Scale of prices 75c 50c and 25.
In order that a successful Field Day may be held this spring, the board should begin making the necessary arrangements immediately. Let a list of events be made out and posted so that all those who intend to compete may have sufficient training to make creditable showing. It would be a good plan to arrange for base ball and tennis games in the morning, with the representatives of some of the other colleges. We hope that in the future the records made in the various events will be kept, in order
to make a comparison each year with previous contests and to afford a stimulous for practice. Last years field day was not as successful as it might have been owing to the insufficient number of competitors and the lack of arrangements for both the contestants—and the spectators. This year we have a fence around the ball grounds and with suitable arrangements the field day for 1890 may be made one of the most pleasant events of the school year.
Arrangements are being completed for four ball games between our nine and the Emporia College nine. Two of the games will be played here and too at Emporia according to the present plan. The Athletics of the Emporia College seem to be carried on in a more business like manner than in any of the other state colleges. All letters addressed to the college were answered in a prompt and business like manner, and the officers of their athletic association were ready to formulate definite propositions.
This is the kind of spirit we like to see, and we trust that the games played will be pleasant events for both the college of Emporia and K. S. U. Their ball nine will be ready for work in about two weeks.
NOTES.
Baker will not play ball this spring.
The young lady tennis players will make use of the Park court this spring.
The Bicyclists are intending to organize, and if possible get a representative on the Athletic Board at the next annual meeting.
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 Graeber furnished fine bons for rowing.
