A committee composed of members of the faculty and principals of high schools who met here last week recommended some important changes in the University curriculum. One of the most important is a provision that German be substituted in the classical course for the first two years of Greek. The proposition has been agreed to by the Greek department and will probably be adapted by the Regents.
Prof. Dyche has just finished mounting his Rocky Mountain goats. It is the most artistic job in the museum. The goats are mounted in various positions on a light frame covered with paper pulp perfectly imitating moss grown rocks, and the whole is on rollers so that it can be moved about any where in the museum with perfect ease. We have a natural history museum of which we may well be proud.
Those students having rackets which they wish restrung, can do so by sending them to E. E. Menges, 924 Main Street, Kansas City. A first-class stringing will be put in for a dollar and a half, and a great gain will be made in time, as heretofore all rackets have been sent either to Chicago or Boston.

R. R WHITMAN ... EDITOR.
For the benefit of the athletic interests of the University, the athletic board will present the farce comedy, "Sweetpea's Pleasure Trip," at Bowersock's Opera House, Friday evening April 25th. Remember the date and make no other engagement.
A great many questions have been asked the last week in regard to the proposed trip of the base ball and tennis teams to Lincoln at the time of the Inter-State Oratorioal contest May 1. The matter stands this way. The athletic board wrote to Lincoln offering to send the teams if the expenses could be guaranteed. A few days ago answer was received asking what the expenses would probably be and saying that unless excessive they would be guaranteed, providing the game was played. This was in reference to base ball, as it was not certain yet whether tennis games could be arranged for. The board has written to Wasburn to see what arrangements can be made for a special car to Lincoln, and something definite will be known in a few day. The opinion of the members of the board seems to be in favor of sending the ball team and running the risk of a game.
The ball team has lost three of its most energetic players, Voorhees, Hickey and Curry. These players may be with the nine if it makes the proposed Nebraska trip, but it is not certain that they will be able to do so. This weakens the team materially but there is plenty of good base ball material in the University if it can only be brought out. By this time the board will have chosen a new captain for the nine to fill Voorhis' place. The ball players have elected Campbell Watson to represent them on the board in Hickey's place. The base ball committee should put the men to work immediately, for it is only a little over two weeks until the Lincoln contest, and some hard work must be done if we send a winning team. The University of Nebraska belongs to the Nebraska Inter-Collegiate Ball League and is reported as having a good team
The Harvard-Yale dual league is probably assured. The Harvard committee appointed to draw up articles of agreement of athletic sports between the two Universities has completed its report. These articles will be submitted to the students at New Haven and if adopted will go into effect at once.
No. 28.
The participants are limited to bona-fide members of the Universities who have not engaged in athletics for money, prizes or compensation. The formation of this dual league is along the lines laid down by President Elliott in his last message to the Harvard students.
NOTES.
The grounds of the West Lawrence Tennis club are now open for play, and all students that are members of the club should begin practice at once. We have some
splendid material here this spring and will undoubtedly secure some good teams.
Schnelzer will give his second annual tennis tournament at Excelsior Springs, Mo., the 28, 29 and 30 of May. The tourney will probably be under the auspices of the Southwestern Association. It gives promise of being a most successful one. The Kansas City players have so far carried off most of the prizes given at these tournaments, but we feel sure that if the University will send its best team to Excelsior this spring that it will take a high place, if not the first place. We have been unfortunate in having but one of the team present at any tourney but the first, and this year we should make an effort to show what we can do.
The High School Mercury advocates the placing of a gymnasium in the basement of the new school building. The school board will make a serious mistake if it does not provide a place for physical culture. Work in the gymnasium should be required the same as in any, of the branches usually taught.
A big tennis tournament to be held some time in July at Excelsior Springs is being worked up by some Kansas City people. The project has the backing of several strong morting houses.
