Mr. Spangler Interviewed.
Mr. W. C. Spangler of the board of Regents, who has just returned from an extended trip in the East, was seen by a representative of the Journal yesterday, and in answer to many inquiries said:
"While away I visited a number on Eastern colleges and universities—among them Johns Hopkins, Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Williams, Cornell, and the University of Michigan to gain such information as I could in regard to several matters at present under consideration by the board of Regents. Mr. Billings of the board was with me, and we shall make a detailed report of the results of our observations, etc., to the board at its next meeting, May 1st. We have nothing startling to relate, but believe it our duty to report such matters to the board before giving it to the public.
"We met the presidents of the institutions I have named, and all said the University of Kansas was highly esteemed in the East, and that it ranked second only to the Michigan University among the State Universities and Colleges of the country. They expressed much surprise at the high standard for admission to our freshman class, because it indicated that a higher grade of work was being done in the high schools of Kansas than they supposed possible in a new State. We met many friends of Prof. Dunlap at Johns Hopkins—the professors under whom he studied.
"We did not bring a chancellor back with us, nor have we selected one—in fact we did not go away with any such intention. We both came back thoroughly convinced, I think, of one fact—that the people of Kansas have not thoroughly appreciated the men already connected with the University, or the work done by them, and this applies to our chancellor as well as professors. By the way, I saw Wm, M. Thacher in New York. He has gained a good standing among New York lawyers whom he has met, and has a paying practice. We found Prof. Carcuth burried in a pile of books of Old Norse and Germanic philosophy in the Harvard library. He has been devoting himself to his specialty, and will come back to the University next September as fully equipped for his work as any professor in this country. He is widely known and highly esteemed in and about Harvard, and undoubtedly richly deserves it all.
"Miss Kate Stevens is pleasantly located in Cambridge, Mass., and is devoting herself to literary work. She takes a keen interest in the University and its management, and expressed an earnest desire to see woman more fully recognized by University authorities in the selection of the members of the faculty.
"I saw Prof. Spring at Williamstown, Mass. He is in good health, thoroughly enjoys his work, and is fully appreciated and greatly beloved by the students and good people of Williamstown. When in Boston I learned that his book, 'Kansas,' was in its fourth edition, there having been quite a demand for this book of late. By the way, the professor says that he is contemplating something
more for us on early Kansas history, soon.
"But as I said in the start, we went away to get information on some matters pending before the board. We got pretty well informed on some matters, but our observations may not be deemed valuable by the board, so I shall not ask the Journal to print them."
The Juniors will have a meeting in the near future to decide upon a person to respond to the Senior hat speech, and we understand that there have been two combinations formed among that little body to share a representative. Of course each faction is trying in every way that has been suggested to its limited knowledge and experience to elect its candidate. It has come to a pretty pass, when a small class cannot meet peaceably and decide upon a person for such a position as this. And what is more the class has, so far as the gentlemen are concerned, become divided on the old party lines, which are now becoming really tiresome to most people. As the Betas and Phi Delts stand a very good show for having a greater part of the places on the commencement program, and have had a great many honors during the year, we think it would be well for them to take a back seat and give other persons a chance. And if the Phi Psis have no man that they wish to put up, how much better it would be for them to keep still and not raise the shattered flag again in the midst of easily aroused factions.
Not that the candidate that they are supporting, is not fully competent and would not suit a majority of the class, but they should have learned before this time that their championship is more detrimental than helpful.
It is really disgusting to have to meet with stinking, sneaking underhand work in every University election.
THE Review for April comes out with its usual attractive table of contents. First on the list is a poem by William Herbert (Carruth). Next is one of the series of articles on school life in Russia by C. M. Enns. These are followed by "Religious Dogmatism" by Albert Fullerton, and "Glimpses of the City of Mexico" as seen by Ethel J. Scott's eyes. A poem by Prof. A. G Canfield, and the paper read before the Political Science Club some time since on "The Money Value of Education," somewhat condensed, complete the list.
In another column will be found the program for field day which ought to suit even the most fastidious. Friday, May 31, will probably be set aside this year for the exercises. Now that the ball has been started a rolling let each one see what he can do to promote the success of this year's field day. If you do not intend to compete, at least contribute what you can toward a prize.
Southwestern Tennis Association
In the May Scribner is a poem by Prof. W. H. Carruth, and also one by Miss Kate Stephens, professor of Greek in the University, 1878-9.
In a recent number of Shakesperiana appears an article on the music of Shakespeare over the name of William McDonald, our professor.
The first annual meeting of this association occured in the rooms of the University Club, in Kansas City, Mo., Saturday, April 27th. Mr. J. H. Farrish, of St. Joseph was elected President and Russell Whitman was elected Secretary and Treasurer. It was decided to hold the spring tournament at Excelsior Springs Mo., on May 30th, 31st and June 1st. Four fine courts have been put in condition and the hotel folks will make reduced rates.
Besides the regular Association games, an "Open Tournament" for players in the southwest not regular Club delegates will be held. An entrance fee of two dollars for doubles and one for singles will be charged to these players. Wright and Ditson's tennis ball was adopted as the official ball of the association. A committee was appointed to secure an Association Cup and other prizes.
The Southwestern Association was worked up and organized last summer by Russell Whitman and Prof. A. G. Canfield of the University and F. A. Marsh of Kansas City, and has started very successfully. It is composed at present of the following clubs to which a number of others, including an Omaha Club, will be added soon: State University Club, Lawrence; Topeka Association Club, Teopека; Dykinton Park Club, Kansas City; Kansas City Club, Kansas City; Benton Tennis Club, St. Joseph. The first tournament was held last fall in Kansas City. The doubles were won by the Benton Club and the singles by Rockwell of the Kansas City Club. Some exceedingly fine playing for the West was seen at that time, and it is expected that the play will be much better this year. A grand hop at the "Elms" the big hotel at the Excelsior, will be one of the features of the coming tournament.
THE first annual banquet of the Southwestern Cornell Association will be held at the Midland hotel, Kansas City, next Wednesday evening. In view of the fact that fully 200 Cornell men reside in Kansas and adjacent states, it is expected that this occasion will be largely attended. Governor Joseph B. Foraker, of Ohio, who is a graduate and an alumnus trustee of Cornell university, will be present if his official duties at that time will permit, and respond to the toast, "Our Alma Mater." Prof. Murphy and George Beeber will be present from Lawrence.
Without intending any disrespect for the individual members of the fraternities, we cannot but have a slight feeling of disgust at the rushing which was done last week by the young ladies' societies. It is well to be temperate in all things, and when rushing—a very good name for it in the instance referred to—is carried to such an extent as to weary the object of their unbounded affections, and all the relations and friends, it ought to meet with decided disapprobation.
A copy of Sexton's Qualitative Analysis has been received from England by the Chemistry department. This is the book which will be used by the Senior Pharmacists next year.
The Regents.
The Board of Regents met at four o'clock Wednesday and did little but organize. All the members were present except Regent Simpson of McPherson. They were also in session yesterday, doing little business except hearing the reports of the committees. The committee on the library facilities made a report on the expenditure of $4,000 of the appropriation, and recommended purchases to be made immediately in order that the books may be placed on the shelves of the library ready for use at the opening of the fall term. The remainder of the appropriation will be expended as needed. The Board will not attempt to elect a chancellor this session, it being thought best to wait until all the members can be present. A special meeting will be held soon, however, to elect one. A special committee is making arrangements for securing an orchestra to furnish music for the commencement exercises.
THE Board of Regents adjourned this morning to meet again June 4th, 1889. They had an unusually large amount of business to transact, among which was the election of an assistant in French and German, and a secretary and treasurer combined. For the first place Mr. Max Winkler, a last year's graduate of Harvard University, was chosen, at a salary of $500. This is a much needed step. Robert G. Moody, son of Senator Moody, was elected as secretary and treasurer. This office, at a salary of $1200 per year, was created at the last session of the legislature. There are fifty applicants for the chair of English Literature. The chair now occupied by Prof. J. H. Canfield was divided into two, one to be known as the chair of History and Civics, and the other as the chair of History and Sociology. Prof. Canfield will fill the former, and a man will probably be elected at the next meeting to fill the latter chair, as well as one to succeed Prof. Marsh.

The various religious denominations are seeking to supplement the educational work of the University of Michigan by furnishing courses of lectures on the Christian Religion and Church History, by eminent men. The University has at present 1,882 students, and the churches recognize it as a center of influence. The Episcopalians and Presbyterians have each an annual course of lectures for the students. The Methodists have, under the auspices of their Wesleyan Guild of the University, a similar course, which is now attracting much attention. The first address in this course was delivered by Bishop John P. Newman, on "the Christian and the Agnostic," and was an eloquent and impressive presentation of the subject. The second, and a no less impressive address, was delivered on March 24th by Samuel G. Smith, D.D. of St. Paul, Minn., on "The Basis of Reward and Punishment. These will be followed by lectures by H.A. Cleveland, D.D., of Indianapolis, and Bishops Warren, Foss and Vincent.-Independent.
PRESIDENT Laws, of the Missouri University, has resigned the position after 13 years of efficient service.
