J. E. McPherson met with a painful accident last Monday. On leaving the University at noon he slipped on the stone steps in front of the main building and fell, spraining his left ankle. The injury has kept him out of the University this week. Although the sprain is not a very serious one, it is enough to prevent his moving around, and will take some time to heal. He has the hearty sympathy of his many friends.
The Y. M. C. A. convention held at Topeka October 16-20 was the largest convention ever held in the State and probably the largest Y. M. C. A. convention ever held in the United States. Over nine hundred delegates were present from all parts of the State, including two hundred college men, of whom K. S. U. sent twenty-five. The convention was addressed by the evangelists D. L. Moody, E. W. Bliss, L. D. Needham and others. D. B. Towner, the great chorister was present and led the singing. On Saturday morning the financial meeting was held in which over $14,000 was raised for the State work. A great impetus was given to the work which is bound to be felt all over the State.
On Saturday evening a party of young people assembled at the home of Miss May Webster in West Lawrence for the purpose of bidding adieu to Miss Kate Wilder, who is soon to leave for Cincinnati. She will there take a two years course in the hospitals, to prepare herself to become a trained nurse. Miss Wilder has always been a favorite with Lawrence people, young and old, and her departure is a source of almost universal regret, but while they dislike to part with her, they join in wishing her God-speed. Those present at Miss Webster's on Saturday evening were: Misses, Dalley, Haddley, McMillan, Monroe and Mrs. Frank Webster; Messrs. McCague, Lewis, Vouon his, Morris, Meiluish, Rankin, Taylor and Curry.
The Phi Psi's gave a delightful party in their halls last Saturday evening, Cards, conversation and dancing made the time pass quickly, and the night was far spent when the guests departed, after having enjoyed themselves as the Phi Psi and their friends always do. The following were present: Misses Webber, Love, Hutchings, Russell, Swope, Towne, Price, Buckingham, Tisdale, Melvin, Lyons, Price of Paola, Southard, Bishop, Hawkins and McCague. Messrs O. B. Taylore, Overton, Weaver of Leavenworth, Crawford, Swope, Hutchings, Baker, Caldwell, Mushrush, McPherson, Edison, Robinson, Brown, Hadley, Hudson, Weaver, Brown and Brewster.
We clip the following very complimentary notice of Mr. Frank E. Ward, the new superintendant of the machine shop, from the Joliet Daily News of October 8th:
"Frank E. Ward, one of Joliet's best young men, has decided to locate in Lawrence, Kan., where he has secured a fine position. He left for that city today. All who know Frank will be sorry to see him go, but evidently he is making a progressive step, according to a notice in the Lawrence Daily Record, which says:
"Mr. Frank E. Ward, of Joliet. Ill. has been appointed foreman of the electrical engineering machine shops at the University. He is a thorough mechanic, and comes with high recommendations from his employers. A large amount of machinery will arrive soon for this department, and Mr. Ward will have charge of all the machine work connected with the department of electrical engineering."
Mr. Ward has attained his present enviable position solely by hard work and study. The Rep.-Sun of this morning gives the young man a very fine notice, which shows what perseverance and pluck will accomplish. Speaking of Mr. Ward's career, that paper says:
"His parents were in poor financial circumstances, and Frank saw that if he ever attained a learning and a competency it must be by individual effort. At nineteen years of age he left the city school to take a job as foreman of the night turn at the rolling mills. He so creditably performed his duties there that he left with money enough to take a course in a college in Valparaiso, Indiana. Here he assiduously applied himself to the text books that were to aid him in the line of business he had selected for his future occupation.
"After his schooling in Vulparaiso, he returned to Joliet, to be offered his former place in the rolling mills, which kind offer he refused, to enter the employ of Bates Bros., machinists. This great firm soon recognized his worth, and placed him as foreman over the entire establishment, which important office he has satisfactorily filled.
"And now we get down to this morning when we announce that Mr. Ward leaves Joilet to go to Lawrence to accept the superintendency of the electrical and mechanical departments of the State University of Kansas.
"Boys, here is an example of what you can do if you want to. There are thousands of places to be filled by just such men, and you can fill them."
KAPPA KAPPA GAMMA.
Friday evening the ladies of Omega chapter Kappa Kappa Gamma were at home to their friends at the residence of Chas. Grovenor, Mr. Grovenor's cheerful house was filled at an early hour—for the Kappas are instituting a reform—with the Greeks. Music and pleasant conversation occupied the early part of the evening, until a call to luncheon met a willing response. After the refreshments had been cared for, a progressive conversation was announced, and handsome cards in the fraternity colors and bearing the names of the topics to be discussed. The conversation lasted fifty minutes, at the end of which time a vote was taken by the ladies to decide who should be entitled to the prize for being the best conversationalist. Mr. Albert Fullleur was voted the prize, a set of neat books. The affair was an especially pleasant one, and the ladies are to be congratulated on their social success. The following were present: Mrs. Burns, Mrs. Grovenor; Misses Cora Kimball, Flo Williams, Eva Howe, Etta Hadley, Mamie Simpson, Don Bowersock, Inez Taggart, Nina Taggart, Nell Morris, Laura O'Brien,
No. 7.

Kelogg.
KAPPA ALPHA THETA.
Owing to sickness and death in their number, the members of Kappa Alpha Theta have been delayed in their social and literary work. They intend to resume the custom that they introduced here a few years ago, of holding open meetings and listening to lectures, recitals, etc. On next Saturday afternoon, at the home of Miss Webster, as the first of a series of musicals, Prof. MacDonald will give a lecture on English Song, and will be assisted by Miss Josephine E. Hutchings. The ladies of Kappa Alpha Theta like to claim the honor, if there be any attached, of being the first to institute a series of open meetings and date their claim back two years when they began enjoying these meetings.
Why can't the president of Atheneum, if he amounts to anything, and ought to do something toward putting some life into it and arouse it from the slumber into which it seems to have fallen.
