Mr. Romig will be accompanied by Prof. Dawdy, one of the finest tenor singers in the United States. The meeting will be held in the rink beginning Sunday evening. The credit of
procuring the services of these well known men is largely due to the efforts of the Christian Endeavor Society of the Christian church. A oral invitation is extended to all University students to attend the meetings.
ATHLETICS
"In response to a call made by Professor S. A. Lough quite a number of base ball boys and others interested in base ball gathered in Professor Parmenter's laboratory Monday, afternoon and held quite an enthusiastic meeting. During the progress of the meeting about eighteen boys signed up and others signified their intention of doing so later on. This meeting is indeed a good beginning, and encourages everybody. In the afternoon they began their first organized practice in the gymnastium. Many teams are seeking games with the boys and it is our fondest hope to give them more base ball than they really want. Baker is going in for a winning season."—Baker Beacon.
The captain of the base ball club makes the following statement. Some of the ball players seem a little indifferent about playing this spring, because they say the games will be so few, that it isn't worth the time taken in practice. To these I can say, that games are practically assured with Iowa State University and Nebraska State University; and possibly with Missouri State University, whose interest in athletics has been awakened by her football victory. The chances are that the game with Missouri State University will be played at Kansas City. Baker, though the triangular league is defunct, is still alive; and will prove herself formidable, as she has always done. Even if these three or four games are all we play, if we win them, it is worth more to us than to win a dozen games from town clubs. To gain these victories is surely worth all the time taken for practice.
The annual meeting of the Intercollegiate Amateur Athletic Association of America, an organization of the colleges and Universities of Amherst, Brown, College City of New York, Columbia, Cornell, Fordham, Georgetown, Harvard, Lafayette, University of New York, Princeton, Rutgers, Stevens, Swarthmore, Union and Yale was held in New York Saturday. It was decided that all participants in the May day contest, must have attended the college they represent since the 15th of the preceding October.
Prot. Newson, the manager of our base ball team, has been corresponding with the universities of Nebraska, Iowa and Minnesota in regard to forming a quadrangular league with these schools. It is proposed that the teams of the four Universities hold a tournament at Omaha and play two games the first day, and the winning teams play for the championship the second day. Such a scheme would certainly be a far better plan than for K. U. to simply play the smaller college teams of the State.

This paper is on the file at the editorial rooms of the University Review, 286 Fifth avenue, New York, where all college men are given a hearty welcome.
In another column will be found the announcement of Nebraska University's proposition for a joint debate. The students will be called upon to consider this matter at the mass meeting at 12:30 to-day.
THE Washburn Mid-Continent containing orations of all the participants in the oratorial contest, was appreciated by everybody. From late experiences with plagiarism, it may seem worthy of serious consideration whether the Mid-Continent should not be issued at least two weeks before the contest, in order that, if possible, plagiarized orations may be weeded out.
THE members of the editorial board of the Yale News, Yale's daily newspaper are chosen annually by what may be termed a competitive examination. Candidates for positions on the board begin at the opening of school in the fall, to report what news comes to their notice; in a few days this volunteer body is organized for effective work; and its members continue reporting until February when the editorial board for the ensuing year is chosen from them. It is evident that the greatest efficiency in a staff can be secured in this way. The plan could be profitably adopted by the STUDENTS JOURNAL. But even if no change were made in the constitution the appetitive members of the staff who, with the exception of editor in-chief, local and literary editors are the whole of the staff who write for the paper could be chosen by this method. Many advantages could be gained, by having the competition carried on for even a shorter time. All candidates for positions on the staff could compete for about a month at the opening of school, and then those who had done the best work could be chosen for a permanent staff. This plan seems to be the most effective means of improving the quality of work done on the papers.
It is an old story to students to be reminded that opportunities are offered to them of doing work on the college papers. If one desires practical work in reporting he can report the news of some of the buildings or departments, and he will find it profitable if he performs his task well. There are communications on subjects of interest to the students that may be written, besides work of a more purely literary nature. This work for the newspaper can, by a little planning, be made to meet requirements of the English department at the same time, so that a two-fold purpose will have been accomplished, the newspaper benefited and work in English done. Students' papers are, more than other papers, what the students make them; their excellence varies with the amount of aid they receive. It should be remembered that in a certain sense the University is represented abroad by its newspapers, that especially will the character of its students be judged from the newspapers. The students should take care that as favorable an impression as possible, shall be created.
THE Cornell affair has been so fully discussed, that any comment by the STUDENTS JOURNAL would be superlious. It may be profitable, however, to see whether any local application can be made. The fact that the Cornell Freshmen went to their banquet room defended by a body guard of Juniors, who were compelled to use their fists very freely in self-protection; and that the stairs leading to the room were guarded by Juniors who were ready and anxious to use their clubs on any one who attempted to come in without leave, shows that a worse spirit existed than even that of "friendly class rivalry" under which designation much rowdyism on the part of students is excused. It is the same brute spirit, which manifests itself in the haxing of students. Hazing, thanks to the action of the University authorities, has never gained a foothold here, and we have never seen its spirit developed.
But there have been several occasions where reckless acts of the students, though done with no evil intentions, might have resulted just as fatally as did that at Cornell. When the Freshman reception was held a few weeks ago, it is quite possible that those who threw the ill-smelling compounds into the room would just as readily have used chlorine gas. They would probably have thought that the most disagreeable thing was the best for their purpose, and that the only difference in the result would be that the Freshmen would be compelled to leave the room a little sooner. There have been more marked instances than this, of recklessness and foolishness. The year that the custom of erecting a May pole was introduced, the flags were raised on the south dome of the main building after the May pole had been cut down; and in the struggle that followed for the possession of the flags, some of the students narrowly escaped falling from the roof. Last year the flags were raised on the flag staff of the main building, where any struggle could hardly have taken place without resulting in a fatal accident.
If an accident had occurred, the plea that no harm was intended would not be allowed. Men are supposed to have enough sense not to engage in things in which there is a great danger of killing each other, and college students are old enough to be responsible for their acts. If the students of this University have to take some foolish diversion once in a while, they should be careful to choose one in which there is no danger that their excitement may lead them into doing what may easily result in a terrible catastrophe like the one that occurred at Cornell.
KNOCK College celebrated, on the 15th of February, its fifty-seventh anniversary; and George R. Peck, who needs no introduction to Kansas people, was the orator of the day. We wish we could give the whole of Mr. Peck's oration, for it treats of a subject upon which too much can not be said, and this is said so well. It is an exhortation to the student to place the highest value on the intellectual, so that he will not forget it after his University days are over; to remember always that the work of the mind is what endures, and what elevates mankind. In the work of gaining a living, everything higher is in danger of being forgotten. "I pray you remember there is, if you will search for it, something ennobling in every vocation; in every enterprise which engages the efforts of man. Do you think Michael Angelo reared the dome, and painted those immortal frescos simply because he had a contract to do so? Was the soldier who died at Marathon or Gettysburg thinking of the wages the State had promised him? Be assured young ladies and gentlemen, that whatever fate is to befall you, nothing so bad can come as to sink into that wretched existence where everything is forgotten but the profit of the hour the food, the raiment, the handful of silver, the ribbon to wear on the coat." We can give no idea of the oration by any extracts, but the following one will be o interest.
How many men and women do you know, who, after they have, as the phrase goes, finished their education, ever give it another serious thought? They have no time; no time to live, but only time to exist. Do not misunderstand me; I do not expect, nor do I think it possible, that the great majority of people can make intellectual improvement their first and only aim. God's wisdom has made the law that we must dig and delve, must work with the hands and bend the back to the burden that is laid upon it. We must have bread; and how inexpressibly foolish it is to suppose that we can live by bread alone. Granting all that can be claimed for lack of time; for the food and clothing to be bought, and the debts to be paid, the truth remains—and I beg you to remember it—the person who allows his mental and spiritual nature to stagnate and decay, does so, not of time, but for want of inclination. The farm, the shop, and the office are no such hard masters as we imagine. We yield too easily to their sway, and so them up as rulers when they ought to b servants. There is no vocation, also lately none, that ents off entirely the opportunities for intellectual development For my part, I would rather have bee Charles Lamb than the duke of Wellington, and his influence in the world is incalculably the greater of the two. Am yet, he was but a clerk in the Indian House, poor in pocket, but rich beyond measure in his very poverty, whose jewels are not in the goldsmith's list. The problem of life is to rightly adjust the prose to the poetry; the sordid to the spiritual; the common and selfish to the high and benificent, forgetting not that these last are incomparably the mor- precious."
INTERCOLLEGIATE DEBATES.
The English department has received a letter from Mr. James Adams, professor of English in Nebraska University, proposing that a joint debate be arranged between the two Universities. So this movement, which has been rapidly spreading all over the west has at last reached us. Joint debates have been held between eastern colleges for a number of years, but not much has been done until this year, by western educational institutions, toward adopting the idea. Now that the movement has begun, however, the idea has been received with the greatest enthusiasm everywhere, and hardly a college paper can be found but that contains accounts of debates either arranged or being arranged.
Mr. Adams states that no better instruction in oratory is offered by his institution than our own; and that its rank in State oratorical contests has been lower. Literary societies are in a flourishing condition there, however, and this may be some disadvantage to us. We hope that Nebraska's invitation will be accepted, and that the students will go to work to obtain in some way, the training necessary in order that the University may be represented creditably. Literary societies seem to be in disfavor with us, and there can be little doubt that the florid, illogical speech that they sometimes develop is not a thing to be desired. But the value of the ability to "think on your feet" to state your thoughts on a subject when called upon to do so, in plain forcible speech is not disputed by anyone. The majority of our students are making no effort to acquire this ability, they take no interest in literary societies, and we can not see that the work of recitation rooms and the various seminaries and clubs offers much opportunity for its development. We believe they make a great mistake, in not securing this training by some means. It makes no difference whether it is a literary society or some other society, but some organizations should be maintained that will give this training. We hope that the invitation will be accepted, and that enthusiasm here for debating contests, will soon equal that of other Universities.
The opera of "Martha" is now in active rehearsal by the School of Music for commencement.
OUR STUDY WINDOW.
The Still Cave (Concluded.)
[At the earnest solicitation of the many readers of "The Still Cave," the author has been induced to complete his brilliant production. At first glance it will be evident that he has lost none of the beauty of his style through his sad misfortune. His own conclusion of the story will give great pleasure to his many admirers.—Ed.]
Every feature of the marshal's tall athletic figure trembled with suppressed emotion. Now he stood clutching convulsively at his broad heaving bosom as if he wished to still the beating of his furiously palpitating heart. Notwithstanding his frantic exertions, he was unable to suppress the expression of the intense favor of his emotions. A bright hoetic dush played nervously on either cheek. He took a long stride forward, peered scrutinizingly from under his right hand as if to assure himself of the reality of the apparition. Then he said in a voice tremulous with emotion: "Great Gosh! Marla!"
Further utterance was interrupted by the woman suddenly falling at his feet with a despairing wail. With her beautiful arms she clasped him tightly about his knees, and poured forth a flood of briny tears upon his dust-stained boots. Long they remained thus in silent embrace, neither speaking nor able to speak.
At first, I had remained spellbound with surprise and amazement. Now, however, after recovering from my astonishment, time was afforded me to observe what had, upon our entrance, produced the magical halo of rosy brightness around the fairy-like form of the woman. Right behind the spot where we had found her standing, there was burning an old dilapidated lantern of antique workmanship. Owing to some defect in its construction, it was ever giving forth clouds of dark aromatic smoke. The faint light of the lantern shining through the smoke-laden air of the cave had wrapped the woman in a halo of amber-colored light.
"Maria!" said the marshal in a low reproachful tone, in which however there was mingled a sorrowful note of regret and longing; "Maria, how could you thus throw my manly affection to the winds, and leave me a prey to desolation and despair?"
"Don't!" said the woman with an hysterical gasp, and her tears rained down in uninterrupted torrents. "Don't!" she continued, "by all that mankind holds most sacred, by the memory of those luscious pumkinpins ples I used to bake for you. I implore you not to drive me to darkest despair, not to reawaken in my heaving bosom the recollections of my ingratitude and the unendurable pangs of remorse and repentance."
A fresh outburst of grief rendered her last words almost inaudible. During this touching scene, I had remained rooted to the spot upon which I stood. Now however, I began faintly to realize that this was one of those moments in which men live a lifetime. A feeling of the sacredness of their grief caused me to withdraw in silence from the cave and leave them there alone.
After an hour or more had passed, the marshal and Maria appeared, hand in hand, at the mouth of the cave. An expression of perfect peace and trust beamed from their countenances. The full moon shone respendant from the summer sky and bathed the surrounding landscape in a flood of golden light. We betook ourselves down the precipitous delivcy to where our horses were restless, pawing the luxuriant buffalo grass, and were soon rapidly riding homeward over the impressively monotonous stretch of rolling prairie.
On the road home, the marshal related to me the sad history of the woman's eventful life. Many years ago she had been a servant in the marshal's family, honored and respected for her virtue and
integrity. It was however by her skill as a culinary artist that she had won the admiiration of the marshal. But it was her pumpkin pies that were the especial object of his regard. Soon he was unable to do without them. He had them for breakfast, dinner and supper, and as often between times as was convenient.
One day however the marshal discovered a small, a very small, piece of discloth in his pie, and with much indiscretion and lack of proper regard for the feelings of others, called the attention of the faithful Maria to the disappearance of her dishcloth. The poor sensitive creature was so overwhelmed with shame and confusion that, in the darkness of night, she disappeared from the place haunted by so many humiliating recollections. Since then she had lived a life of solitude in this secluded cavern, a prey to grief and humiliation. Her joy at again being reconciled to the marshal knew no bounds, and she was easily persuaded to resume her duties in his kitchen. H.

The Student.
Aristotle defined man as a political animal. By this he meant an animal which has a tendency to unite with its kind for mutual advantage; but he probably had also in mind the meaning which the words 'political animal' have come to possess at the present time: namely, one that delights in conspiring with some of its kind in order to gain a real or fancied advantage over others. This is now a quite general conception of a politician, but for the word "student" to acquire any such meaning shocks our sense to the eternal fitness of things. Nevertheless we bid fair to bequeath such an alteration of language to our descendants. The hall, which now and then boils up to running over and again settles down to comparative quiet, has again given evidence of its miskakiable nature. Like the geyser, it makes a mighty uphalew if there be dropped into it only a few harmless pebbles. The student body geis as excited over that which means nothing as does the most honored legislative assembly. The student, the animal supposed to be learning the art of abstract reasoning, devotes his time to pursuing a concrete office whose only attribute is its concreteness. The University has become a training ground for the political trickster and demagogue. Many a student, now become a politician, spends his time in scheming either for an office or how to retain his connection with the institution. And he defends himself by saying that he is getting the best of training for life in the great world without. May a merciful Heaven preserve us from pessimism! To take part in the great world incompatible with honesty and self respect? If so let us retire from the great world. May "student" never become synonymous with 'demagogue.'
Who then is the student? What has he been in the past? Putting aside for the time the fact that the student is a human being and is bound like all other human beings to develop the best in him, there are certain things that we like to think of his possessing. There is something nice in hearing him singing along the streets late at night or giving the college yell coming down the hill. We took real delight in his actions and appearance the time he went down two hundred strong to work the streets; think of it—took delight in watching him ridicule the law of the land. But it is pleasant to think of being independent of conditions, and we do not begrudge the student his freedom. He may during the brief space of his college life make sport of existing regulations, perform pranks unheard of in ordinary society, in short, be to some extent an independent individual. Soon enough will he be obliged to curry the favor of an uneasonal world.
Although the student is free, he too has his traditions; and here as everywhere they lend their charm. The Harvard Seniors, though they are allowed first choice of rooms, always select those

When the German students are about to drink their beer at the meal, they rise, grind the glasses around the table, and then drain the contents. Perhaps this custom has descended from an ancient religious ceremony where the peasants would elect in the middle of the night upon some romantic spot for religious worship, and at one time assembled around a large flat stone for a table, they would raise their glasses all at the same time toward the cast, then grind them upon the stone and drink the contents.
We do not like the student that disregards his old traditions. He may let his hair grow long or wear old clothes if he please but there are some things to which he must adhere. We would be displeased with the Harvard Senior that chose a room not in Stougleton Hall unless he did so for some good reason. For of course utility is held by us in greater respect than tradition. There is a certain spirit which we think of as characteristic of the student and we approve only those actions which are pervaded by this spirit. It is not enjoyable to think of him getting frantic over a ball game or dancing until so c'clock in the morning.
Nowhere however can we find that it is allowable for a student to be a politician. Not considering it in an entirely practical light, it is pleasing to us to allow the student to do many things to drive away dulness. But allow him to be a politician?—no, that is out of harmony with something in our nature.
The Oratorical Contest.
It was an enthusiastic crowd which composed the audience at the "Grund" last Friday night. Some of the delegations came confident of victory, others hoping for a good place, but all came determined to make a noise. How well they carried out their plans is known to you all.
At about 8:30 President Woodside of the Normal called the assemblage to order. The Normal band then rendered a selection, after which the Rev. Mr. Smith gave the invocation. The first speaker on the program was Mr. H. Q. Banta of Ottawa University. He spoke on "Our Attitude toward China." His oration was one of a distinctively argumentative character. He attempted other oratorical writes a plain, practical, clear-essay. His delivery was rather still and his foot motion uneasy. During the first part of his oration, his voice could not be distinctly heard all over the house.
Mr. Shier of the College of Emporia was the next speaker. Mr. Shier has a sort of free and easy style of oratory which is quite refreshing. He argued that a Democratic paternalism was impossible.
M. Juddley Eaton of Winfield sang a solo which was loudly encored, but unfortunately he was unable to respond on account of a sudden attack of the nosebleed.
Then all eyes were strained to see Mr. Wetzel of Winfield, the dramatic locking young man, whom so many feared. He undoubtedly possessed the finest voice of any of the orators, and his gestures were magnificent, though somewhat too frequent. His oration was on the "Province of Faith." He eloquently plead for the intuitive in place of reason. Mr. Wetzel was awarded first place, but will probably have to answer to the charge of plagiarism, as several of his sentences are very similar to sentences found in the book of Winning Orations.
Mr. Dalton of Baker came next. His subject was "Revolution or Evolution, Which?" Mr. Dalton had a well written eration but his delivery was hardy up to the standard. His voice is prone to fall into the sing-song, especially when he is not yet warmed up to his subject.
Mr. Elevett of the college of Emporia followed Mr. Dalton with a vocal solo,

"The Wind will." Mr. Everett boss a face boss voice and his effort was highly up preciated.
Mr. Chas, Courtney of the Normal spoke on the "Roman and the Teuton in Our National Life." Mr. Courtney had been sick and consequently lacked vigor in delivery. His voice was rather weak and his foot motion was stiff. His articulation was clear and he handled his subject well. He traced step by step, the influence and the commending, of the Roman and Teuton characters and institutions.
Mr. Wilber O. Allen of the Kansas Wesleyan University, Salina, spoke next on "A Fundamental Issue." Mr. Allen was the oldest contestant in the race. He presented a scholarly appearance. His gestures were usually a little too late.
The judges decision was then announced giving Mr. Wetzel first place.
Miss Gerritrade Dewey next appeared in her mortar board and gown to tell the audience all about "Modern Izoonosis." Her oration was well written. She seemed quite at home on the stage and very vividly had the audience with her.
The Clarion Quartette of Baker sang "Life's Vision" and were twice obliged to respond to encores.
With the appearance of the next speaker came forth the cry of "Rock Chalk," for it was Lorin B. Sears of the State University. Though the audience were wearied and restless, he soon obtained their attention and held it to the close, frequency interrupted by outbursts of applause. His subject: needs no comment as it is known to all of you. S. office it is to say that he plead eloquency in behalf of the drama, and foretold a drama of the future where the cold ideal of the Greeks would be done away with, and in its place would be a drama of the human heart and human character.
As there seems to be no authentic record of the markings obtainable yet we have decided to wait until we can get a correct list. As announced at the close of the contest Mr. Courney of State Normal school took second place, and our orator third place; but from the markings given by College Life Mr. Sears took second place.
Then followed demonstrations by each college in favor of its orator; and a friendly scrimmage between Washburn and K. U.
The Spring Tour of the Glee Club.
At the meeting of the Glee Club Wednesday evening the subject of the spring tour was brought up and discussed. Several of the old members will not be able to make this spring trip on account of the interference with their school work, but substitutes will be obtained to fill such vacancies, and practice will be begun at once. Mr. Piatt has been in Southern Kansas making engagements for the club and has already arranged dates with Emporia, Newton, Wichita, Arkansas City, Winfield, Independence, Chanute, Garnett, Ottawa and Guthrie, Oklahoma. The following notice is taken from the Newton Republican:
The Associated Charities has decided to make the price of tickets for Judith 50 cents to all parts of the house except the gallery which will be 10 cents.

Markham of the 'Baker Beacon,' 'Editorial Management'" by W. C. Fogle of the STUDENTS JOUNIAL State University; "Subordinate Departments," Athletics, Exchanges, Locals, and Alumni" by J. F.

Last Saturday afternoon the Woman's League of the University gave a very enjoyable reception to all the lady students at the residence of Chancelor Snow. A large number of girls were present, and after an excellent musical program, dalyty refreshments were served. These receptions by the Woman's League are becoming very popular, and fill a long-felt want in the social life of the girls of the University. The musical program given Saturday afternoon was as fol-

THE COLLEGE WORLD.
Now that the contest is over, we remember how slowly Baker proclaimed the fact that she was to be first. Confidence is a fine thing but we think quiet confidence the best kind.

"Judith."
The Associated Charities will make its second, and what they believe may be their last call for funds for their writer's work, by the presentation of Mr. Moss' Dramatic Oratorio of "Judith." An unusually strong chorus of sixty of our best local singers and a strong solo cast have been in rehearsal for the past month under the direction of the composer, who speaks in most complimentary terms of their progress, and excellent work.
The dates set for the presentation are Friday and Saturday, March 9 and 10. An orchestra of ten pieces will accompany the opera.
We shall take pleasure in publishing shortly a complete cast of characters.
Miss Georgia Brown will sing the title role of "Judith," Miss Stella Robbins is the principal contralto, Mr. Hopkins the tenor, Mr Will Higgins sings "Holofernes," the principal basso.
A large and appreciative audience witnessed the performance of "Little Trixie" at the Grand Opera House, Saturday night, and were rewarded by a fine performance and plenty of fun. May Smith Robbins, who takes the leading character, that of "Trixie," became an imitation and rendition of the Irish dialect took immensely. The company is a capable one, and is sure to draw well during its stay here. Atlantic City (N. J.) Review.
AMUSEMENTS.
Few musical comedies have appeared in Pittsburg which were better than "Little Trixie," with May Smith Robbins, a pleasing soubrette, in the title role. Other clever people were in the cast, which included Fred Robbins, a comedian of no mean ability. —Pittsburgh (Pa.) Daily Times.
"Little Trixie," the bright musical comedy now running at the Grand Opera House, is making a great hit and will draw well the remainder of its stay. Atlantic City (N.J.) Review.
May Smith Robbins, who is starring in the musical comedy, "Little Trixie" is fast gaining recognition as one of
the most versatile soubrettes now before the public. She is said to be one of the greatest dancers in America, and her comedy work is far above the average in its quaint humor and charming artlessness. Her company is a very strong one and includes the celebrated "Imperial Quartet" and the "Trixie Mandolin Trio." The play is bright, breezy and funny, and at the same time refined, interesting and pleasing.

The report of the marriage of L. E. Bronson, who is now a lawyer of Enid, Ok., is a mistake. Mr. Bronson has not yet joined the ranks of those who enjoy married life, and the Oklahoma papers are the cause of the circulation of this report. The STUDENTS JOURNAL hustens to withdraw its congratulations.
The west room in the basement of Snow Hall, is being arranged for gymnasium purposes. The apparatus from the main building will be moved to this room, and two hundred and fifty dumb bells and lockers have been ordered. When this gymnasium is not in use for other purposes, the base ball boys will practice until the weather will permit out-door practice.
The change in the time-schedule giving the students two half holidays instead of a whole one will surely be the means of creating a greater interest in athletics Under this new arrangement two games of base ball or football may be played each week. On the other hand the recitation work of many students may suffer. Monday has always been a day for poor receptions because many students have neglected their studies in order to enjoy the Saturday holiday. By the present system Thursday will also become a day for poor receptions if the student takes advantage of the half holiday on Wednesday day to obtain exercise.
The New Constitution of the Athletic Association.
A mass meeting of the students met to consider the adoption of the new constitution last Friday and was called to order by Chancellor Snow. A motion to adopt the proposed constitution as a whole, failed to carry, and it was agreed to adopt it by sections and articles. An amendment providing that the president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer be chosen directly by the stockholders of the Association, was voted down. There was an amendment proposed to the effect that the treasurer be a member of the faculty, or the treasurer of the University, which was also lost.
The constitution was then read by the secretary, and considered adopted until objection was raised to some article. Only one more amendment was proposed that of changing the fee giving the privilege of entering the grounds from $3 to $2, and for membership to the Association from $1.50 to 50e. 'This amendment finally carried. Now our association starts out under very favorable circumstances for another year's work. A great many defects in the old constitution have been remedied and under the efficient management of Prof. Cowan, we may expect great success in the future.
ATHLETICS
Prof. Newson, manager of the base ball team, states that no arrangements have been made as yet for this spring's games. The schedule was published in full by the Courier last week.
K. S. U. is the only institution that has accepted the terms offered by the Kansas City parties for the proposed Interstate Field Day Meet, Nebraska and Iowa refuse to participate unless a guarantee of expenses is furnished. Missouri is as yet undecided. It is to be hoped that arrangements will be completed.
The Athletic Association of the University of Kansas was incorporated Tuesday at Topeka by the committee appointed by the Board of Directors. This will place the association on a firm foundation and it will be in a situation to do business. The treasurer's report as given in this column shows that the association is in good shape for the coming season.
Indications point towards having a fine University ball team this year. The first practice game of the season came off last Saturday at McCook field. About thirty candidates are in training for the different positions. The team will undoubtedly equal if not surpass last year's team. Wagner, Steinberger, Parker, Clarke, Strothers, and Smith are practicing for the box at present, and Gear is expected back soon. Lewers will probably be the first baseman and will put up a good game. Alden will be at second, Williamson at third, Matteson, short stop and Chamberlain center field. This is the personnel of the team at present. The other two headers are to be chosen later. If the present weather continues the team will soon be in fine shape and may be expected to put up a winning game.
The Financial Condition of Our Athletic Association.
At the beginning of Prof. Cowan's services among us as instructor in physical culture, it might be well to view the present financial condition of the Athletic Association. The net receipts from the football games of '93 amounted to $1037.41. The amount on hand and received from other sources than from football games was $1677.87.
Total amount from all sources $2715.28.
Total amount expended for the season $2044.58 which leaves a balance in the treasury of $550.70. Of this amount $150.25 is reserved for a building fund and $40 for a trophy fund, leaving a balance on hand for the general use of the Association of $460.45.
ENGINEERING NOTES.
The physics building is to be heated by a new method. No steam pipes will be used in order that the building may contain as little fire as possible.
The plans for lighting the Library building have been made. S. W. Everett, a former student of the University will be foreman. The work will be done by the Electrical Department.
A large amount of apparatus has lately been added to the Civil Engineering Department. The principal articles are a Thacher calculating instrument, a chronometer, a barometer, an eight inch protector, a leveling rod, and two tape chains.
Papers on the following subjects were read and discussed at the meeting of the Electrical Seminary Monday afternoon: Grounding of Currents, Prof. Blake; Tesla's Experiments, Geo. Rush; Alternating Current Curves, A. N. Topping; The Niagara Power Plant. A. W. Cunningham.

This paper is on file at the editorial rooms of the University, Review, 236. Fifth avenue, New York, where all college men are given a hearty welcome.
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN once wrote a story about a whistle. It would be profitable perhaps, for many of us to read it, and apply it, when we consider the different things to which we devote our time.
SOMETHING ought to be accomplished when, as at the meeting which adopted the new constitution of the athletic association, speakers vie with each other in advocating the "purification" of University politics. It was a significant fact, however, that the two classes of speakers would effect this "purification" by methods diametrically opposed.
Some kind hearted individual, by issuing a challenge open to Freshmen, Sophomore or Juniors, to play a ball game with the Seniors, has given the Seniors an opportunity to show a little class spirit. Let the good work goon. Some one now, should tell the Seniors what exercises to have on class day, in order that they may begin the preparation of a program. It takes time to prepare a creditable class day program, and the time until the end of the term will not be more than sufficient.
The college debate is one of the chief themes of discussion of most of our exchanges. The subject of the debate between Wisconsin and Minnesota is announced in the last number of the *Arch* of Minnesota University: "Would the complete exclusion of foreign immigrants for a period of ten years, be preferable to a continuance of the present freedom of immigration for the same period?" What will be the subject of the debate between Nebraska and Kansas?
It does not seem probable that, as a source of revenue to the Athletic Association, the membership fee of 50 cents will yield a smaller return than the fee of $1.50, which was originally proposed; for a much larger number of students will become members of the Association, if the fee is 50 cents. In either case, the total revenue would probably be of the same amount. The majority of the students here, are in circumstances that require strict economy; they have only a small fixed sum to pay for pleasures, or for the support of University organizations. With many of them, the question would be, whether they should pay $1.50 for the privilege of voting for the officers of the Athletic Association, or should pay the same amount to gain admittance to baseball and football games; at any rate if they paid the membership fee, they would probably be compelled to forego the pleasure of seeing some of the games. It is evident that, under these circumstances, most of the students would not become members of the Association. With the fee at 50 cents, the student will not be compelled to deprive himself of the privilege of voting, or of the pleasure of seeing the games. The revenue of the Athletic Association will be just as great, and by a large membership, the students' enthusiastic support of the organization will be assured.
It is desirable that the Academic Association be removed from the influence of University politics; and, for this reason we voted against the amendment that proposed to retain for the student body, the power of choosing president, vice president, etc. But we believe that a membership fee of $1.50 would have effects fully as harmful as that amendment; it would disfranchise the majority of the students, because they would not feel able to pay it; and it would thus give the control of the Association to a small ring or clique. Such a state of affairs would be disastrous to the organization, for experience has shown that the students will not support financially or otherwise. University enterprises which are under the control of rings or factions.
WE CALL the attention of the student to the reasons given by the Courier on recuming publication, for its rejection of the plans for union of the papers. The objection that factions were not recognized by the constitution of the proposed paper; and that for this reason, the paper could not succeed, does not seem very weighty. Fairness to both "factions" was secured by the provision, that nothing which was objected to by the representative of either "faction."—and it was provided that both "factions" should be all ways represented, should be published; and we do not know of any organization at the University of so much importance that it need should a special organ to voice its opinions. Newspapers conducted according to the plan proposed have been very successful in other colleges, and there is no reason why one should not succeed here. We are unpractical enough to believe that if one strong paper, of a high standard enough to be a lit representative of the University, were once established according to this plan, the students would become enthusiastic in its support', and, in order to put men in charge who could maintain its high standard, would be willing to forego the fractional strife that either kills or cripples every enterprise that is started here. But the students understand the situation, they can judge for themselves of the strength or weakness of the Courier's position.
K. U. Took Second Place.
Another proof, if the number of them was not already more than sufficient, has been given of the need of changes in the rules determining the ranks of contestants in the oratorical contests. Mistakes arising out of the present method of computing ranks seem innumerable. It is now discovered that our representative, instead of Mr. Courney of the State Normal School, is entitled to second place in the State contest. The marks and ranks as announced after the contest are:
COLLEGE.
Thought and Composition
Draft F. M. Spencer
Proof Taylor ... ... ...
According to this table the State Normal has rank 2 and the State University rank 3. In determining ranks of the contestants, the grades of each judge are ranked 1 2 3 4 ete ; the sum of the ranks of each contestant, is then taken and the contestant, the sum of whose ranks is smallest is given rank one. But it will be seen by the table, that one of the judges, Judge Earle, gave six contestants a grade of 100, and gave the Stats Normal representative a grade of 98. The constitution does not provide for cases where a judge gives more than one contestant the same grade, and there is
doubt as to what rank should be given to the grade immediately below the tie grades. Shall Mr. Courtney's grade 98 be ranked 2, since it is next below the grades 100, or shall it be ranked 7 as there are six grades higher than the grade 98? Fortunately the question can be answered aptly, though the constitution made no provision; for it was decided in the case of Cook vs. Campbell, who represented respectively the College of Emporia and the State Normal School in the State contest two years ago. The decision on this question, which gave Miss Campbell, of State Normal School, the higher rank, will if followed in this case make the rank given by judge Earle to Mr. Courtney, also of the State Normal school, 7.
This seems to be the fair way of ranking such grades; in this case Judge Earle gave 6 grades higher than Mr. Courtney's and his grade therefore is ranked as seventh. With the rank 7 given him by Judge Earie, the sum of Mr. Courtney's ranks is greater than that of Mr. Sears; and I Kansas State University therefore, holds second place.
The State Normal School can not consistently do otherwise than support Mr. Sears' claim to second place, as it clearly defined its position on the question two years ago.
A meeting of the local oratorical association has been held, and Mr. J. L. Harrington instructed to communicate with the other members of the State Oratorical Association, in order to arrange for the meeting of delegates to change the ranking of the State Normal and the State University. College Life proposes that a convention of delegates, one from each school, be called to change the constitution, making it more explicit with regard to the method of computing ranks. These two matters may be attended to at the same meeting, and as they are of considerable importance, and other questions of importance may come up for consideration, we believe that there should be a convention of delegates one from each school, elected especially for this meeting, empowered to change the constitution, and to settle other matters that may come before them.
The general opinion of the people at the contest, was that Mr. Sears deserved a rank at least as high as second, and had they not been prevented by the peculiar system of grading, it appears that this would have been the decision of the judges.
The New Time-Schedule
In order to make room for the classes in physical culture, for both girls and boys, a new timeschedule was put into operation last Wednesday. Hereafter all Freshmen and Sophomore classes, which have before this recited at 9 o'clock, will begin recitation at 8 o'clock and continue until 8:50. Then chapel exercises will be held for twenty minutes, and the other classes will recite in their usual order.
Also to make room for both girls and boys training in physical culture, six day sessions will be begun. All Wednesday afternoon classes will recite Saturday morning and a class in physical culture will also recite at that time. In this way the girls will be able to obtain their physical training under Mrs. Clark. Mendays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and the boys classes will recipe Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays under Pint Crow. By this change, all students will be given two half holidays Wednesday and Saturday afternoons, and after they become accustomed to this plan, they will undoubtedly prefer it to the old one.
Two noteworthy additions to the University library have been recently made. One of them is a presentation copy of the "Life of Prince Albert Edward." It was presented to Mrs.W. E. Channing by Queen Victoria, and contains her signature on the title page. The other is a translation of "Brouhid" by George T. Dippold. The book was given to Professor Dipold of Harvard University by the author, and has been presented by Professor Childs to the University
OUR STUDY WINDOW
Guilty or Not Guilty.
In this world below, justice is ever in a quandary. Acting upon the supposition that man should be paid according to his deserts, she must accurately determine what those deserts are. When her calculations are incorrect, a wrong is the result. That she often does fail to determine the deserts of an individual is obviously true, and therefore we say that the world is full of injustice and wrong.
But with the exception of a small class, people have an unexplainable faith in the absolute ultimate goodness of the universe, and many explanations of this seeming paradox have been offered. Some believe that the most satisfactory one is that there is no such thing as desert, and therefore of course no such thing as injustice; but that this is sufficiently opposed to the common belief has been well demonstrated recently in the newspapers. It is the unanimous verdict of the newspaper fraternity that Thomas Hill received his just deserts in this life, and is undoubtedly now receiving them in the next also. How he could receive two rewards, both being just, they do not explain; but whether or not he had any deserts at all, and even on account of his faults, Thomas Hill was an interesting character.
To any account of his boyhood I have not had access, nor indeed to an account of any part of his life. Such facts as I here chronicle, must be directly from my personal recollections of him, and those are necessarily confined to the last thirty years of his life. That his youthful training had a great influence upon him is very probable, as he always evinced the same tendencies throughout his career. Thomas was the oldest of five brothers, all of whom came to Kansas late in the fifties. Settling in a county next to the Missouri line, they at once showed their business ability, holding close together and thus being of great mutual assistance. That the instinct for money-making dominated them was shown by their staying at home from the war and indulging extensively in the practice known as joy hawking. To be sure this was not considered reprehensible by the people of that time, nor of this either perhaps, but men who had the deepest regard for the moral law were not jaw hawkers. In this and various other ways the brothers collected quite a respectable capital to start with. Thomas, on account of his being the oldest and also on account of his being the best business manager, was always the head of the firm of Hill & Bros. They started stores of general merchandise in several little towns, and soon became the leading merchants of the county.
But Thomas was especially successful. Almost sole owner of several flourishing business establishments, the president of three banks, he practically held the interests of a whole county in his hand. Everyone could see that his wealth was rapidly increasing; thousands of acres of land came into his possession through mortgages; no public sale was complete unless he was present to discount the notes. And still he was perhaps the most popular man in the county; everyone united in praising the honesty and capacity of "Tom" Hill. There were a few however, scattered here and there, who persisted in declaring that the public was greatly deluded, and that Hill was a rascal of the first class. But these were only persons whom chance had put in his road, as, arm in arm with the law, or at least with its officers, he pursued his rapid course. They were no more numerous than the enemies of almost any successful and popular business man.
Thus he held his course for over twenty-five years, a uniformly rapid and brilliant business course, with no deviations of any importance. At the age of sixty, care was beginning to have its effect upon his hair and features, but he was still bandome and was a very pleasant man to meet. He had very affable manners
and a business like air which said; state your business briefly and to the point.
But what was the character of his thoughts and feelings at the end of twenty-five years of this training? His methods of business had not differed from those of many men who have retired with great honor, and after death have been extolled as model citizens. How was it that there was such a different fate in store for Thomas Hill? Certainly he was very much alive to his own interests, but he always kept within the lawor if not always, he evaded it only when it was the custom to do so. Did these methods have such an unusual effect upon Hill? Had he during these twenty-five years, gradually become so wrapped up in his own int rests that at last he forgot that others had any rights, almost even that they existed? Is it possible that he could have so utterly lost sight of all beauty, truth, and goodness, as to rob partners in business of their capital, farmers or their homes, widows and aged parents of their only support? Yet it is of this that he was accused. Even though this be true, he could not have forseen the widespread terrible results of his action and still persisted. Are men so different by nature that with precisely the same training, one may turn out a saint, another the most detestable villain under the sun? This is what the various newspaper reports would indicate.
Thomas Hill was still in the height of his glory when the great panic came. There were hundreds of failures all over the country, and under ordinary circumstances the fact that he failed also would not be surprising. But in this case the circumstances seemed peculiar. Of course Hill put forth every effort seemingly to avoid the impending ruin. He mortgaged all his land for as much cash as possible; he borrowed all his townmen had to lend; he sold some of his stores; he solicited deposits for his banks. The amount of money that he collected in these various ways was immense, for he had the confidence of everybody. "Tom Hill fail? Pooh! heools all the panics of twenty-five years. He helped me when I was in trouble and now it's my turn." Thus each one helped and the money poured in but it was of no avail. Every establishment belonging to Thomas Hill was closed. The depression caused by this event cannot be described. Business practically ceased. Banks and stores were shut down everywhere. Still all might be well, for everyone believed that Hill could pay out and re-open business. It was only when it was announced that he could not pay out or re-open business and that there were practically no assets, that suspicion entered, changed to indignation, to hate and desire for revenge.
When those who had given their all into his keeping realized their position, the results were as terrible as they were various. A wealthy farmer, who with his family had toiled long years only to lose at one stroke the entire product, was stricken with apoplexy within a week. A young man, the only support of his aged parents, having lost his home and fortune, died or brain fever after badly cursing Hill in all the streets of the town. A leading merchant became a raving maniac, and attempted to kill his wife; his son, sick in bed, leaped out to prevent the deed, and as a result became so much worse that he died in a few days.
What must have been the thoughts of Thomas Hill if he were the dishonest villain that he seemed? What were they if he were an honest man? The people asked, and with justice, where were the thousands of dollars so recently obtained? The mansion in which he lived was in his wife's name; all his property was either sold or mortgaged so as to be worthless to creditors. What could Hill have said, had he been guilty or not guilty? He was accused of having the money in his possession; of having failed when it was unnecessary and merely for the sake of increasing his wealth.
Thomas Hill, who a few weeks before had been a very wealthy and powerful man, was now in danger for his life. The

people, in their unbalanced state of mind,
had decided that he had the money, and
of course the only way to get it from him
was by force. At last they collected,
led by no one, and summoned by no one,
the very air around them announcing
that they were at the proper pitch, and
suddenly surrounded Hill's house. Perhaps
he was taken by surprise, at any
rate he made no effort to escape. He
was roughly seized, and amid cries of
"thief," "murderer," "villain," was told
that he would be bung unless he gave up
the money on the spot. He answered
only: "I have none to give." Though
perhaps a little paler than usual, he did
not seem to be afraid. He did not say
a word as the rope was put around his
neck, and with yells and blows he was
loved out to a tree.
A man in his last moment of agony usually gives some indication of his true character, but here was a man whose countenance it was impossible to read. Had he not returned the same answer, "I have none to give" to the demand made again as he stood under the tree with the rope about his neck, one would have believed him to be unconscious of his situation. Upon receiving his answer the second time, the mob shouted: "Hang him," "String him up." "He'll give in as soon as he's felt a good hard pull." And many willing hands pulling on the rope raised him from the ground. After a few seconds he was let down, but he did not answer; perhaps he could not. Up he was pulled again, and again let down; the mob expecting that he would surely speak this time; but he was quite dead. Seemingly forgetting that they had come for money, the mob swung the body up again, and went away rejoicing that the destroyer of the community had been hanged.
Those who attended the funeral were a strange mixture, his few friends and worst enemies. The old man whose son had died of brain fever was there, and with a muttered curse, shook his list at the body which lay there so calmly, with nothing save a mark around the neck to bear witness to a violent death. The farmer's orphans rejoiced, but it brought not back to them their father or their wealth. The maniac laughed horribly when he heard the church bell toll, and yelled: "It's for Tom Hill. I killed him."

Debates and Literary Societies.
In the last issue of the JOURNAL, was announced Nebraska University's preposition for a joint debate; and reference was made to our lack of means for preparing men upon whom we could rely with confidence, to represent us in such a contest. This lack must be painfully apparent to everyone who thinks seriously for a moment of entering into such an arrangement.
And it might be well for us before making any contract, to deliver goods, to take an inventory of what we have on hand, and make an estimate of our facilities for production. In making the inventory, some one would probably suggest a person, who has made himself prominent by his skill in marshalling his forces and carrying out parliamentary tricks in some political "scrap." Another would name a class mate, or club companion, who has shown himself to be a clear thinker and a formidable antagonist in an informal discussion. And still another would propose a student who read an able paper before some "conference," or "seminary." And it is probable that no one outside of these three classes, would occur to the majority of us. Yet we should all have to admit that no one belonging to any one of the classes mentioned, basgiven evidence of ability to acquit himself so creditably in a debate as to warrant his being chosen as our representative in such a contest as that proposed by the University of Nebraska.
We need not be at all surprised to find such a condition of affairs, when we consider our facilities, or more properly, lack of facilities, for the development of able debaters. For all must acknowledge that the kind of work done in our "conferences" and "seminaries," however ably and thoroughly it may be done, is inadequate for training masters of debate. An illustration of the tendency of our seminary work; and of its failure to make debaters, was furnished at a meeting of the Historical Seminary last term.
The presiding officer announced as a variation of the regular kind of works, an "old fashioned debate." But in the program that followed, there was perhaps nothing more striking than the absence of all resemblance to "an old fashioned debate." Force is added to the illustration, by the fact that one of the so-called debaters, in his Freshman and Sophomore years, had given better evidence of debating powers, in one of the literary societies that used to flourish on Mount Oread, than he did in the paper which he read on that occasion.
What organization then, have we that is capable of supplying our needs, if we are to accept Nebraska's proposition? Probably the majority of the students in the University would answer. None. For when, as recently occurred, one of the members of the faculty of the English department says that there is no literary society in the University, it should not be surprising if a large number of the students were also ignorant of the existence of such an organization.
Nevertheless, thanks to the determined efforts of a hopeful few, and in spite of the disfavor or cold indifference of some members of the faculty, the Adelphic Literary Society has met regularly on Friday evenings, in its hall on the third floor, in the north wing of the main building. It is true, that the grade of work done, has not been as high, nor the attendance as large as might have been the case under more favorable circumstances. But the members have done as well as could be expected under the discouraging conditions. And we desire to venture the prophecy that if Nebraska's
Moreover, confidence in our prophecy is not weakened by consideration of the fact, that in our recent oratorial contest four of the six contestants were, or had been active members of Adelhite.
proposition is accepted, the credit of the University of Kansas will be unrestained by some whose names appear on Adelphia's roll of membership.
Now we hope the face is established that we have the needful organization. All that is necessary to have literary debaters as successful as any in literary societies of the University of Nebraska, is for the students to go to work with the proper spirit and organize other societies if desired. And we hazard the assertion that if the students do this, and if the members of the faculty take as lively an interest in literary societies as they do in football, there will not long be an excuse for anyone in the University to be in doubt as to their existence.
Of late years it has become fashionable among college men, to underrate the student who gives most of his time to his text books. In almost any college paper there may be found some article beseaching the student to give less time to his books, to get acquainted with his classmates, to learn men and the world. It seems that among students, the word text book is coming to signify a book which is prosy, pedantic and narrow, and which should, therefore e.g., as much as possible, be let alone. This way of thinking is surely wrong. The prime object of a student in college should be not to learn the ways of the world, there is plenty of time for that in later life. He should rather concentrate his efforts upon securing mental training, and upon acquiring useful knowledge. Books are chosen as text books only because they are considered the best authority obtainable on the subjects of which they treat. This being true, they are certainly worthy of careful study; and the student who puts all of his time upon them is likely to receive greater benefit, than the student who passes over them hastily, and spends a large part of his time in reading other books and getting acquainted with his fellow students. No virtue will help the student so much as close application to his books; and by his books is meant his text-books. GRUND.
JUDITH.
Last night was the dress rehearsal of this powerful opera with scenery and orchestra. The scenery will prove a great surprise to the audience on the opening night. Prof. Moss has invested a large sum of money in the scenery and curtains, and to see a whole play with none of the familiar Opera House scenery, will be a treat.
The opening scene—a roof garden in the Assyrian Capital, is a marvelously beautiful scene and makes a grand setting for the chorus, which fill the stage to overflowing. The Judith of Miss Georgia Brown is also going to be a surprise to her many friends, who do not know her as a singer in grand opera. She will make an ideal Judith.
The departments of Geology and Entomology are organizing an expedition to go overland to the Bad Lands of Dakota during the summer vacation.
Too much cannot be said to urge all lovers of good music to attend Judith; it is not like anything ever given in the past. There is a priority to hear it should not be lost.

Outfitters to the Leading Colleges.

Broadway, City:
GENTLEMAN- We take pleasure in notifying you that we have been appointed the sole outfitters for Princeton College and the University of Pennsylvania.
The reason for this is well expressed in the letter which Mr. Mann, president of the football association, and Mr. Humphrey, president of the base ball association at Princeton, have sent to us, viz: "That they place their entire orders with us for the year '94, because they believed that we could furnish the best uniforms and team supplies of any firm in the United States."
Of course, it is well known to you that Yale appointed us their official outfitters over a year ago, and that we have supplied not only these colleges but all the leading colleges throughout the United States for some time past with their uniforms and team supplies.
In regard to the Yale Gymnasium, by the way, which we fitted up over a year ago, Dr. Anderson, the professor in charge, writes us that the apparatus, after one year of the hardest kind of usage, is in better condition than the day we put it in.
We think however, that this action and this agreement signed by these three great Universities is, to say the least, significant.
These are simple facts, and we think you as our sole advertising agents should be acquainted with same.

Why is it that Weaver has such great success with every special sale that he holds? That question has been answered time and again by customers who have made it a point to visit Weaver's store whenever he advertises a sale. No counter attractions have ever succeeded in diverting one single customer. Take for instance the Easter sale of Wool Dress Goods that is now on. Look at the styles, the qualities, the varieties, not great quantities of one or two materials, but a pattern, sometimes two, never more, of the same goods.
Weaver's dress goods never get common while the prices are always reasonable.
Today the store was filled with people who came to look—to admire, and some to buy the beautiful goods. You're not urged to buy at Weaver's. You are welcome always.

A former student of the University, Mr. Webster Davis, is the Republican candidate for mayor of Kansas City, Mo. He is a self made man. He worked his way through the University and then took the law course at Ann Arbor and began the practice of law at Kansas City after his graduation at Ann Arbor.
After delivering his extension course lecture at Kansas City Monday, Chancellor Snow started immediately for Colorado Springs, to be present at the dedication of the Coburn Library of Colorado College. The dedication exercises were held Wednesday evening and the Chancellor was one of the speakers.
Prof. Farrell will go with the Glce Club on its spring tour in place of Prof. Penny. Mr. F.E. House has resigned as president and Mr. Tom Franklin as secretary of the club, as their studies will not allow them to leave the University. No officers have been chosen to fill these vacancies as yet. The club will have only three more rehearsals before leaving on the 27th.
About twenty candidates for the Freshman base ball team were out for practice at McCook field Saturday. The Freshman class will be well represented in the "Varsity" nine, and as the Freshman nine will include these and a number of other good men, the prospects are that the Freshman class will have a very creditable class nine.
Tuesday afternoon Prof. Blackmar was compelled to go to Kansas City to deliver his lecture on the extension course, and left his Political Economy class in charge of G. A. Schumacher. About ten minutes after the professor had gone Mr. Cone had the misfortune to be affiliated with the nose bleed and left the room. Immediately the rest of the class were troubled in the same way, and with one accord adjourned.
The president of the local oratorical association is in receipt of a letter from State Secretary Richi, requesting that a meeting be called and our opinion be expressed upon the advisibility of dividing the State Association into several groups. These groups would have their local contests and the winners would go to Topeka. This would have the advantage of shortening the program at the State contest. But on the other hand, it would necessarily exclude some of the colleges from the State contest, and would put a stop to some of the excursions and the healthy demonstrations of college spirit, which, after all the flings that inferior or jealous souls can throw, are one of the chief charms of college life.
The Board of Directors of the Athletic Association has succeeded in making arrangements for a concert to be given next Tuesday March 29th by the well known Adelphian Quartette. In the lack of a lecture bureau, the Athletic Association has endeavoured to furnish a suitable entertainment, and should receive the encouragement and support of the University. The Adelphian Quartette, formerly from Depee College, may be expected to give a fine concert, and all who attend will not only enjoy hearing some fine music but will aid the Athletic Association in a way that will be appreciated. The concert will be given at University chapel, price 35 cents. Edwards, May and Williamson have charge of all arrangements and will have tickets on sale soon. Get your seats early.
Some of the Fossils of Snow Hall,
Mr. Overton is now busily working on a skeleton of the plesiosaurus, discovered by Judge West in the chalk beds of Western Kansas in the year 1890. This is considered by Prof. Williston to be one of the most valuable specimens in the museum. The head of the animal and the vertebra of the neck which are complete, are all that could be found of the valuable skeleton. A great deal of care is required in preparing this skeleton as it is very fragile. When mounted it will be placed in the museum in a new case which is being prepared for the purpose. Some time ago Mr. Overton in searching for fossils on his father's farm in Phillips county, Kansas, discovered parts of the shells and skeletons of thirteen turtles imbbed in the tertiary sandstone. These fossil remains of the turtles come from the same bed of sandstone in which the rhinoceros skeletons were found, but they are situated about six or seven feet nearer the surface than the rhinoceros remains. Mr. Overton will prepare these skeletons of the turtle, as soon as convenient, and they will form a valuable addition to the museum.
The skeleton of the rhinoceros will soon be placed in the case. Prof. Williston says that it is the first fossil animal ever mounted in skeleton form. This skeleton was also found on Mr. Overton's farm in Phillips county, which, by the way, is considered to be the richest deposit of fossil skeletons ever discovered. This rhinoceros is not an individual skeleton, but is made up of a collection of bones. It was built, beginning with the pelvic arch, and took six month's work to complete it. This skeleton is four feet high, nine feet long, and measures ten feet around the body. The next University Quarterly will contain a full description of the skeleton, written by Prof. Williston, and illustrated with blue prints.

The stock of the STUDENTS JOURNAL company consists of non-transferable one dollar shares. Any student, instructor or employee in university may hold one and only one share.
It is a pleasure to announce that a debating club is to be organized this afternoon. We had feared that the debating boom started by the proposal of Nebraska University for a joint debate, would succumb to the enervating influence of warm weather, but are happy to find our fears unfounded. Remember that the support afforded by attendance at one meeting, is of more value than any number of professions of interest.
This paper is on file at the editorial rooms of the University Review, 230 Fifth avenue, New York, where all college men are given a hearty welcome.
ALL students are members of the Athletic Association, and it is for its benefit that the entertainment is to be given next week by the Adelphian Quartette of Doane College. This entertainment gives the student an opportunity to hear good music, to judge how our Glee Club compares with the Glee Club of another college, and, most important of all, to provide funds for an organization of which he is a member. Considering these inducements, if he is wise the student will make it a point to attend the concert.
ONE of the most interesting things to be found in the new catalogue, is the table showing the growth of the University from the time of its foundation to the present. The growth, as shown by the increase of attendance, has been rapid during the whole time, but the comparison of last year's record with that of this year is especially gratifying, as it shows that even hard times cannot check the progress of the institution. The faculty now numbers fifty, an increase of five over last year; the number of students not counting University Extension students, is 691, against 629 last year; and the total enrollment which was 1038 last year, this year is 1332. Such an advance in so unfavorable a school year, is the best proof that the rapid growth of the University has been substantial. It gives the brightest promise for the future.
AS THE carpenter's room is needed for other purposes, the students who have been eating lunch there all winter have been shut out, and are again compelled to content themselves with some dark and dusty corner of the basement hall without even a chair to sit on, or to go into the drying room where a dirt floor, the steam from drying rags, and a temperature that seldom falls below 100°Fahrenheit, form a combination far more effective than the treacle that Mrs. Squeers fed to Nicholas Nickelby, in reducing the apetite to proper proportions. Seating accommodations, however, are offered by a few boards and boxes, and broken down chairs, and the drying room is therefore preferred to the basement hall. The young ladies, long age, rebellled against similar accommodations, and transferred to others the inconveniences arising from the want of a lunch room. They now eat in the historical seminary room and students of the afternoon classes that recite in that room are the ones who suffer the inconvenience, for they have to dust the crumbs of bread
and sugar off the tables and to be careful that they do not stick their elbows in little daubs of butter and molasses. We do not expect to have lunch rooms for some time; several years of promises and disappointments have taught us not to indulge in rash hopes; but if the University authorities ever have occasion to desire especially the good will of the students who eat lunch on the hill, we can suggest to them a sure way of obtaining it. It is by fitting up lunch rooms.
WE are gratified to find that the communications which have appeared in the STUDENTS JOURNAL, are so widely read; even though our proof of this, is sometimes the information that our contributor made a misstatement. The contributor who stated in the article on debates, that Prof. Hopkins said there were no literary societies in the University, was misinformed.
This week, we publish a communication regarding commencement exercises. We have already stated our position on the subject. It seems to us that the whole significance of commencement would be lost if a hired lecturer conducted the exercises. Why should not the class abolish commencement exercises entirely, receive their diplomas at the registrar's office just as they do grade cards; and, if they wished to donate the services of some public speaker, have him speak in the evening, since it will be more convenient for the general public to attend? And for class day exercises, why not hire some opera troupe or the art company, to give an entertainment as a substitute for class day exercises?
But if the only argument that can be brought forward in defence of the present commencement day exercises is one of sentimental distinctions and theories, the proposed change had better be made. There is however, a stronger argument in its defence. Is not the largest audience that is present at any of the exercises of commencement week, the one that attends the commencement day exercises? A number of eminent speakers always give addresses during commencement week, but they are listened to by smaller audiences than the one that is present on commencement day; and yet no one has so low an estimate of the intelligence of the commencement day audience, as to claim that they attend simply for the purpose of seeing a bundle of diplomas handed around; and endure the exercises that precede this very interesting ceremony, simply because they are compelled to do so. They apparently find the exercises interesting; and are not the commencement day exercises refreshing as a slight change from the addresses of the eminent speakers? The audience, by its attendance, votes for the present form of commencement day exercises.
THE University Informer of Holton, Kansas says in Its account of the State oratorical contest:
"The Rock! Chalk! boys, who had been imbibing most too freely in 'good old Kentueky' * * * rushed upon the stage crowding of the people who paid to sit there, knocking over a table of flowers, and winding up by a fight which was afterwards settled by the police." We quote this as an example of the exaggerated and untruthful accounts that are being circulated over the State. We have taken no notice of them before, but as these sensational reports are being widely copied, it would be an injustice to the University to remain silent. The "crime" of the University students lay in the fact that they followed the example of the students of the other schools in the display of "college spirit." We do not defend the custom, but the blame for it should not rest entirely upon the students of one school. The University students yelled when the other students yelled, and in exactly the same spirit, during the time that the decision of the judges was being waited for; they carried a banner on the stage. They were then pouced upon by other students who attempted to carry off the banner, and two policemen standing in the wings immediately walked on the stage and stopped the "rout." This is all the foundation there is for the highly sensational account which begins this article. As for the charge that some of the students who carried the banner were drunk, it is a sufficient refutation to say that the chairman of the University disciplinary committee made an investigation immediately after the contest, and reported that none of the University students who were on the stage, had been drinking.
The students of the University, however, had made themselves conspicuous by the display of the banner on the stage, and the opportunity was therefore seized, of writing grossly exaggerated and sensational accounts of the part taken by the University students, and more, of charging them with responsibility for all the disorder at the context, and all the disorderly acts done in Tepeca that night. It was, we admit, a gorious opportunity for the sensational newspaper to write up a "spicy" account, and for anyone hostile to the University to attempt to bring it into disrepute.
It is our opinion that the University authorities should not, in future, trust to the newspapers of the State to do them justice.
In affairs of this kind, an investigation should immediately be made, and all attempts at misrepresentation should be met by a prompt and emphatic denial. It should be made plain that while the University is ready to stand all just criticism, it will not allow misrepresentations to go unchallenged, and cannot be made the scepuqel for the sins of all the students in the State of Kansas.
The System of insured Physical Culture at Amherst College.
Amherst College has held a high place among New England institutions in the matter of physical culture; and I have thought a brief account of the method and success of the system there in operation might be of interest at this time.
The Freshman entering Amherst finds himself obliged to look out for physical as well as mental growth. He is called to meet the instructor in physical culture in the gymnasium within a few days after his arrival in the college world. His "measurements" are taken, his whole physical condition is determined, and a course of individual exercises is prescribed for him. But this is not all. At chapel the first morning, the Freshman class is notified to meet in the gymnasium on a certain morning for class gymnastics. And this system of class gymnastics is the subject of this paper.
On meeting the instructor at the appointed time, the class are provided with dumb bells, each pair weighing about two pounds. The class take their stand on the floor of the main hall of the "gym," and begin to learn their exercise. This consists of a great many separate movements, and requires, when learned, about a quarter of an hour to go through it. The exercise is done to piano accompaniment; and the time required to learn it is about four weeks.
Soon after the class have begun to learn the exercise, they are required to get their "gym suits," which are of dark blue cloth, and have the class number worked in the class color on the breast of the coat. The suits cost, usually about $10, and do not have to be renewed through the college course.
After the exercise is mastered, competition is opened for the position of "gymcaptain," the most popular position in college. Competitors come before the class to lead the drill, while the class enrolder by every means to "rattle" the candidate for military glory. Soon, however, a good man is found, and the class settles down to work for the prize.
This prize is $100, offered to the class that makes the best record in marching and dumb-bell drill at the exhibition in Light Gymnastics in May.
The exhibition draws a large crowd from the town and from surrounding
towns; and the seats in the "Gym" are well filled. The Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors drill, the Seniors not being expected to compete. The classes go through their exercises in turn; entering first, for the marching movements, then filing out to get their dumbbells for the more interesting work. Class enthusiasm is at its height, and college and class yell, or indiscriminating applause, breaks forth from the audience from time to time. When the result of the contest is announced, a scene of the wildest revelry ensues, and many of the spectators remain to see the poor Freshmen tsewed in the blanket, or the Juniors inciting the lower classes to a came rush. The class that wins the prize saves it to help pay commencement expenses.
The regulations of the Department of Physical Culture are simple. Every student, of whatever class, is required to be present at, and take part in, every class exercise, except that he may be absent one-tenth the exercises of each term, or may substitute for any exercise one hour of out door exercise, at the discretion of the instructor, who grants him an "equivalent ear" for the exercise. Another exception to the rule is, that any student who is in regular training for any of the intercollegiate sports is for the time excused from the class exercise. The account of his training is given in by the Athletic Captain every week.
The general results of the system I have described have been wonderfully encouraging. The student at college used to fall in health from Freshman to Senior year; but where such a system is faithfully carried out the reverse is invariably true. It is one of the greatest booms that any college enjoys, to have its students obliged to take that regular exercise which is so essential to health. And the Seniors and Juniors should certainly be required to enjoy the same privilege that is afforded the lower classmen. H. F. J.
The Second Place Belongs to K. V. and She Will, Haye It.
Mr. J. L. Harrington was appointed by our local oratorical association to open negotiations with the various other local associations, with a view of calling a meeting of delegates to inquire into the manner of ranking, by which the State Normal was placed above six other institutions who really had a more just claim to the position. Mr. Harrington visited Washburn college of Topeka, but found there two factions in the association which could agree on no question. From there our representative went to Emporia, and the local association at Emporia College was very favorable to the yposition. The Kansas Wesleyan University at Salina has signified their assent to such a meeting of delegates, and Baker University also agrees although Ottawa for fear of losing her position disagrees to the proposition. From the present outlook, therefore, it is very probable that such a meeting will be called at an early day; and if so, our orator will be given the second place which he so richly deserves. Even if this meeting of delegates should possibly not be called and no action be taken in the State association, by bringing the matter before the Interstate Association; a step which will surely be taken, we can obtain justice. The precedent has already been established in the case of Indiana and several other eastern States.
Prof. Bailey has written a circular to the teachers of Chemistry of the High schools of the State, outlining a list of experiments to show the scope of the work required to get a practical knowledge of the foundations of chemistry. This list will show not only what experiments should be performed, and can be performed, with limited facilities, but also refers to those topics to which special attention is given in the State University. The professor also gives a list of apparatus and chemicals necessary to perform these experiments.

Uncle Henry vs. Uncle Sam.
In a backwoods district in Eastern Kansas there dwelt Mrs. Dobbins, an old widow lady whose husband had been killed in battle during the civil war. The old lady drew a pension of about twenty dollars per month, and lived, as times went, in comparative case and comfort. She had many queer and eccentric ways, but also possessed a good share of what is called in that neighborhood "horse sense."
On a farm acquiring one of Mrs. Dobbs, my grandfather lived. He had been a lawyer, but weared by the ways of the world and perhaps also by the ways of ten distracting children, had retired to this included, out of the way place to spend the rest of his days. His ustle neighbors had great respect for his wisdom, and knew him familiarly as Judge D—. They regularly consulted him about their personal affairs, but none other was so confidential as Mrs. Dobbins. The Judge was very much amused by her and good-natured filled out her pension papers, advised her concerning the training of her children and the management of her farm, and helped her in so many ways, that she came to look upon him as the arbiter of all her affairs, and finally even of her affections.
Unele Henry Warfield, a well-to-do old widower of the neighborhood, conceived himself to be enamored of Mrs. Dobbins' charms, and sued for her hand with an ardor not to be expected from one of his years. He was a well manured old gentleman and his appeal struck a responsive chord somewhere in the old lady's heart. Nevertheless she very wisely asked for time to consider before giving her answer. But the more she considered, the more uncertain she became. That responsive chord in her heart comforted acceptance and besides wasn't Uncle Henry very pleasant and well provided with the goods of this world? On the other hand, if she accepted his proposal, her pension of twenty dollars a month would be gone forever. Then too Uncle Henry had several children; suppose that he were to die, would they not inherit all the property and insist her out into the cold world? It was a predicament indeed, and she could decide upon no way out.
At last she concluded that two heads are wiser than one, and went over to bear the opinion of her friend and counselor, the Judge. The affair was rather a delicate one to handle, but finally Mrs. Dobbins finished the statement of the case, and waited while the Judge pondered. Perhaps the old lady had been too bashful to mention the responsive chord, or perhaps the Judge underestimated its real importance to her, for when he gave his decision, it was in favor of the pension. But Mrs. Dobbins had no thought of acting contrary to his advise, and as she rose to leave expressed to the Judge her satisfaction with his decision: "Ucle Henry's a putty good supporter, but I guess I'll stick to Ucle Sam." She did stick to Ucle Sam, and Ucle Henry was obliged to content himself with single bloodiness the rest of his days.

ATHLETICS.
The Seniors have the strongest team in the University this year and propose to make things lively for the Juniors and the Faculty.
The baseball management is negotiating with the Denver Athletic Club for a game of ball.
Prof. Newson being unable to devote the necessary time to the management of the bace ball team has resigned, and at the last meeting of the Athletic Board, Mr Harding was elected to succeed him
The K. S. U. base ball team will play a game with the team of Haskell institute a week from to morrow on McCook field. This is the first game of this season and will show the mettle of our boys.
The high wind interfered with base ball practice last Saturday, but a game was played. Smith is a good pitcher, but is rather wild at times. He seems to be the best pitcher available, and will improve with a little practice.
President Garrett of the Athletic Association, received a letter Wednesday from the manager of the ball team of the University of Iowa asking for a game of baseball with our team this spring.
The Kansas Methodist conference has given football a black eye, but it cannot deprive the young men of Baker University of the joy of having met and wiped off the face of the earth everything in their territory worth defeating. It is yet six months until football will be played again to any great extent, and the conference will have ample time to modify its sirtleness on the college game, as the rules themselves are modified. But since football is such a brutal sport, it may be naturally asked how the ministers became so familiar with it as to distinguish and mark for special disfavor the "stlying and mass plays" mentioned in the resolutions.—Kansas City Times.
Everyone will be sorry to learn that "Jim" Kelcey will be unable, at least for a white, to play his customary place on the ball team. He has received positive orders from his physician to give up all violent exercise on account of injuries received last summer. He has resigned his place as captain of the team; but may be able to be in his usual place before the end of the season. At the last meeting of the Athletic Board Mr. Matteson was elected temporary captain to take his place.
There is a prospect that there will be some good boat races this spring, as may be judged from the men who are to form the crews. The crews that have already engaged the boats in the morning are 5-6. Hill and Rickseecker; 6-7. Newton and Stuart, and Raymond and Topping; 7-8. Parker and Jantzen, and Ochler and Clark; and in the afternoon 2-3 Duffee and Edwards; 4-5 Crosby and Schroder and Taylor and Checlede; 5-6 Allen, Waltmire and Galbreath; 6-7 Orr and Cox; 7-8 Squires and Wyriek, and Biggs and Brown. If enough interest is shown in boating to warrant it, the Association will buy the boats at the end of the year, and will probably purchase some better boats soon. The river here furnishes a course that can hardly be improved upon and those interested in boating will have the hearty support of the Athletic Association in their efforts to give boating the high place that it deserves here, among athletic sports.
Jay Luther Taylor of Baker has broken out again. Nothing very serious however. Prof. Newson wrote to the manager of the Baker aggregation to arrange a game for the spring season of base ball. But the Bakerites are not the people to run the risk of being defeated. Last year after having, by a succession of lucky accidents won one game of football, they very generously offered to play another game if K. U. would give them a guarantee if $500, enough to run their team for about two years. This year, it would seem, they have decided not to risk their reputation by playing even one game. Prof Newson received the following answer:

Prof. Cowan and Physical Culture.
Work called for on Monday afternoon and delivered on Friday afternoon. All work guaranteed to be first class
Mr. Cowan also has charge of the religious culture of the University and it is be hoped that a new life may be given to this all important branch of training in our University without which no man is well fitted for a truly successful life. We now have an instructor in our midst who is capable of teaching the English Bible, and we should like to see the question of having such a study in the curriculum of the University revived.
Prof. Cowan and Physical Culture.
Prof. Hector Cowan arrived at the University last Wednesday. Thursday morning he led the regular chapel exercises at which a large number of students were present. From 9:10 to 10 o'clock he met the first division of his physical culture classes, and after calling the roll, briefly outlined the work. The three divisions in physical culture under his direction will meet from 9:10 to 10, 12 to 1, and 4 to 5. Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. At first the exercise will be entirely with dumb bells, and later with other apparatus which will be provided. Mr.Cowan does not vane very highly the Indian club as a means of exercise, as he claims that it is merely for show, and that the dumb bell is a far more valuable instrument or real physical development. The Juniors and Seniors will not be registered in any of these classes but may attend when they desire.

The Second International Convention of the Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions, convened in Dearborn, Feb. 18 to March 5th inclusive. As the name implies, it is a movement to lay before the English speaking student world the claims and needs of Foreign Missions. The movement had its genesis eight years ago in a new England college and has spread until now it embraces not only the whole United States but also Canada and the British Isles. In America there is an enrollment of about 4,000, while in the British Isles there are 700 more and 684 volunteers are already on the field. For the first time the students of the Anglo-Saxon world are united in a mighty enterprise. In numbers the convention was larger, two to one, than any meeting of students ever held. There were in attendance 1187 students from 294 institutions, representing 38 denominations. Including all who took part in the convention as student delegates or speakers we have a total of 1357. The convention was one marked throughout by prayers and thought rather than by surface enthusiasm. Among those in attendance were: John R. Mott, Rev A. J. Gordon, Rev A. T. Pierson, R. E. Speer, Rev J. Hudson Taylor and Miss Geraldine Guinness of London, England, Geo C. Stebbins, Rev H. C. Mable. Besides these there were present the representatives of the leading mission boards and societies of America.

Ex-President McCosh of Princeton, in speaking of this movement recently, declared that it was the greatest offering of young men and women to foreign missions since the day of Pentecost.
COMMUNICATIONS
It is indeed surprising, that a body of men with as much wisdom as the faculty of our University, should in some few instances, go so far from what the students wish, when there is so little cause for such action. Early in the autumn, the Senior class took action upon the matter of having no members of the class deliver addresses on Commencement day, but in their stead have some noted man—some man to whose discourse all could listen without experiencing weakness. This sentiment was voiced by the entire class, and a committee was appointed to confer with the faculty in regard to this matter. The reason for this action on the part of the class, was that their idea was progressive. It is the modern idea of class Commencement days, having entirely supereded in eastern colleges the old way of having inexperienced boys and girls expound their wisdom to a long-suffering and possibly, over indulgent audience.
As a usual thing, the faculty of Kansas State University has very few of these petitions from an entire class, and since they are so seldom petitioned it seems pure obstinacy on their part to stick to an obsolete custom so persistently, especially when against the protests of the very ones chosen to represent the class at this time, unless they can give a good—a very good reason for it. In other colleges, this matter is left to the class itself to decide.
The plan suggested by the class has been tried before at K. U. with perfect success. Last year the class took the same action in regard to the matter, with like results. Cannot some member of the faculty write an explanation of this matter, for the next number of the Students Journal and greatly oblige.

A HUSBAND'S FOLLY.
Benjamin —, the gentleman in question, is a staid, quaint, unassuming business man, who heretofore has always been looked upon as a model husband, surrounded by a happy family. While at the depot just after seeing his wife safely off for the Adirondacks, this exemplary husband and church member, commenced a flirtation with a charming young widow that nearly wrecked the happiness of several lives. The story can be seen better than told, at the Opera House, March 17th.

Mrs. Clark's Physical Culture Classes
The course in physical culture for the young ladies of the University, which commenced this week under the direction of Mrs. Clark, will consist almost entirely of free gymnasties. Exercise in the Swedish system of gymnasties and German free callisthenies will occupy a large part of the time of the class and if time permits, practice in Indian club swinging will be given during the last few weeks of the term. The principal object of the course will be to secure freedom of movement, and obtain and maintain good carriage. The work this year will necessarily be but an introduction to more thorough work next year, when physical measurements will be taken and more systematic training begun. The contract for the gymnasium suits has been let to Bullne, Moore, Emery & Co., of Kansas City. They will be made all in one piece, and will consist of an improved blouse waist, designed by Mrs. Clark, the regulation divided skirts and gymnasium shoes. Measurements for costumes for sixty-five have already been made. The cost of the suits, as announced in chapel by Chancellor Snow, will be $350 each. Mrs. Clark considers correct dressing at least half in the requirements for a successful course in physical culture and the low price at which the suits have been secured, places them within the reach of all.

The Joint Debate
Negotiations are still going on with a view to completing arrangements for a joint debate between Nebraska State University and our University. A debating club has already been organized, as given in another column, which will help to prepare our students for these contests. Prof Hopkins received the following letter last week from Prof. Adams of the English Department of Nebraska University with regard to the proposed joint debate:
LINCOLN, March 13, 1894.
PROF. E. M. HOPKINS.
Lawrence, Kansas.
MY DEAR SIR—I was pleased to receive your second letter in regard to the debate. I have done all I could since that time to learn the opinion of students here in regard to the matter and find it strongly favorable. I asked the faculty in its meeting Monday evening for an expression of opinion, and a resolution was passed favoring the debate.
I have written to Harvard, Northwestern and Pennsylvania Universities asking for rules governing similar discussions, but thus far have received none. They will be here in a few days 1 think.
If you decide finally that the holding of a debate be wise, do you think we can arrange one for this year, or would we better wait till next year for the first one? The time before the close of the year is short, probably too short to accomplish anything. If a debate is to be held preparations must be made very soon.
I shall be glad to hear from you further. Very sincerely.

This paper is on file at the editorial rooms of the University Review, 230 Fifth avenue, New York, where all college men are given hearty welcome.
The debating society just formed is having such good success that it is possible another will be organized to accem, modate all who desire practice in debating. Why not have two rival debating societies with joint debates at intervals?
As THE electric clock in the library reading room makes no pretense of keeping time, and must be tinkered with two or three times a week in order even to make it "go," it should be moved. The physical laboratory is a more suitable place in which to conduct experiments in electricity.
Now a member of the Faculty, and very few students attended the concert given for the benefit of the athletic association Tuesday evening. It is becoming very apparent that our University "partiotism" is not fervent enough to make us give our most popular organizations even moderately enthusiastic support. We say nothing about our less popular organizations.
The young ladies of the University who gave a hop last week, set an example, in one matter, that could profitably be followed in all University social events. The invitations announced that the guests were expected to arrive at 8 o'clock. Keeping early hours is always in order, but it is especially advisable when, as at the present time, warm weather makes one very liable to exhaustion.
EVER football reformers cannot accomplish their purpose at once it seems, for Mr. Hinkey, the captain of the Yale foot ball team, is going to make the evil still worse, by requiring candidates for positions on next fall's team to practice from Easter to the end of the spring term. Perhaps the best way to bring about a reform, however, is to allow a practice to be carried to the height of absurdity, and the Yale football captain is surely doing this.
WHAT was feared for the University last year,—that the legislature would not make adequate provision for the institution by appropriations—has befallen the University of Utah. The University Chronicle contains, in its editorial columns some very emphatic comments on the action of the legislature in appropriating only $45,000 for the support of the Uni. versity for the next two years, a sum much too small for even the most necessary running expenses. State Universities will welcome the day when they begin to receive endowments which shall be sufficient at least to free them from the danger of having at any time to suspend, because of unfavorable action of State legislatures on appropriation bills.
THE professor of the English Department of Nebraska University, in his letter which we publish in this issue, desires to know whether a debate shall be held this year. By all means it should be heid. We have debaters who can represent the University creditably, and although the debate might not be as good as desired, because of the lack of time for complete preparation, yet this would be more than compensated for by the greatly increased interest that the preparation for a joint debate would arouse in debating societies. A contest with a rival University will be one of the most effective means of so arousing interest in debates that debating societies shall become permanent and well supported organizations of the University, and debating societies should be put on this basis here as soon as possible.
It is to be hoped that interest in rowing will be renewed this spring, and that this athletic sport will be as popular as it was a few years ago. As an exercise, rowing is unsurpassed among athletic sports, since it brings into use muscles in all parts of the body. It also has, to recommend it, the fact that while in a game of football, the team captain has control, and determines how much time the players shall devote in training and playing, to athletes; in rowing each man determines for himself how much time he will give to physical exercise, and he need not fear that his participation in such an exercise as rowing will require so much time as to cause him to neglect his studies. For the success of the attempts to make rowing popular, all the circumstances are favorable. The river at Lawrence offers a boating course that could hardly be improved upon, and the Athletic Association is very willing to give all the aid it can. Boating should hold a very prominent place among University athletic sports, and with all the circumstances in their favor, those who are interested in rowing will have themselves to blame if they do not bring about this result.
THE following comments were made by one of the judges of the Indiana State oratorical contest when he returned the orations sent him to be graded. They are worthy of the widest circulation, since the view which many people take of plagiarism does not seem to be a very serious one. "The last named oration needs further mention. It is placed last. Firstly, because it is an essay rather than an oration, secondly, because its title is clearly a misnomer; and thirdly, because I discover on page nine of this so-called oration, and extending nearly through page ten, a direct quotation from Oliver Schreiner, for which no credit is given. It is a flagrant case of plagiarism, and the oration is unworthy of a place on your competition, as its author is unworthy of his place as an American college man. Plagiarism is the gravest offense known to the teacher of English, and if you are to maintain the dignity of your association, you must now and forever frown upon and punish any attempt to use the words of another in a contest of original orations.
"It is not my procregative to do more than grade the orations. This I have done. But I trust you will see to it, that so far as possible, dishonest methods are discountened by you and the other officials of your association." These remarks would apply with equal force to the State Oratorical Association of Kansas.
The employees of the museum have received instructions from the Chancellor to work only eight hours a day.
THE HALLS.
Photographs have been taken at different stages of their construction, of the imitation mountains and crags which are now being built in Snow Hall.
In accordance with the plan that was outlined at the last meeting of the Science Club, namely that each department might organize a seminary which should be auxiliary to the club, the Chemical and the Mineralogical Departments will combine to establish such an association. It is proposed to hold the meetings every two weeks, and though some papers will be read, a very important feature of the meetings will be the reports that are to be made on the current chemical and mineralogical literature.
OUR STUDY WINDOW.
David.
David belongs to the class of children who are generally in the streets and are commonly called street Arabs. He is a sturdy little fellow with gray eyes and tow head and is some seven years of age. He has a rather bright countenance which might not seem a little hardened if we did not know it belonged to a street Arab. He wears a blue calico shirt fastened in front with two large white but tons and wrinkled up around his waist, and a pair of trousers of uncertain color, held up by a single strap. He wears shoes sometimes, that have been worn out by some one else before they came to him, and stockings that reach anywhere from the shoe top to the knee. He wearsf an old cap on his head and in cold weather he "wraps up" in a coat which is old, ragged and dirty. I remember seeing him once when his shirt was clean.
He used to come to my house to bek, said he was hungry because his mother was sick and could not cook him anything to eat. He kept coming at intervals of a week or so until finally I took him into the house and learned something about him.
It was one summer evening after dark. There was a knock at the front door. I opened and a voice said in a half commanding tone "Please, lady, gimme sompun t'eat." Seeing it was the archin who had come several times before, I took him into the sitting room, much against his will, and questioned him.
He stood there in the light with his bare chubby feet, which were neither so clean or so dirty as they might have been, his cap under his arm, lifting up his broad tanned face to me as he answered my questions. He showed little embarrassment but an evident desire to get back to the open air.
His name was "David." He had not come alone, "Bill" and "Tham" were waitin' for him outside. He guessed he'd better go.
"Was he hungry?"
"Yep um."
"Had he had any supper?"
"No'm," lowering his head a little; his face was greasy and his breath smelled of bread and butter.
"Not a bit of supper?"
"No'm." In an accent of surprise, lifting his head again and looking me steadily in the eye.
We descended to the kitchen. He preferred to take the food and go. "They" were waiting for him. But I insisted upon his eating at the table and he did so, answering my questions in monosyllables whenever possible.
I found he lived by the depot down near the river a mile away and he said again as if repeating a piece he had learned by heart that his mother was sick and his father was dead. There were several other children at his house about whose relationship to himself he was uncertain. They were brothers or cousins. He said he went to school sometimes.
He seemed half frightened when I suggested accompanying him home, and as suremed me he was not going home that night but would stay just over the hill with "Bill" and "Tham." "Tham" was another boy.
He munched away at what I gave him to eat, but when that was finished refused to be helped a second time and hurried from the table.
He would say no more about the "other boy" and seemed to be growing suspicious; so, with an invitation to come again when he was hungry, I let him go. He said "Yepum" and hurried out to the boys waiting for him and was greeted with "what dyer git?" There was no audible response, only a sound of retreating steps.
Nearly a year has passed and "David" has not come to beg again. I often see him in the streets with "Tham" (who by the way, is really his cousin and is a mulatto boy with kinky hair) tumbling about in the dirt, performing wonderful
gymnastic feats, starting at the bill boards or sharing cigarettes with others of his class. Once or twice he has been trudging a curly headbaby in a box wagon.
A day or two ago when I was waiting at the delivery window in the post office for some one to hand me the mail, David came flying through the door, reached up on tip toe, clung with one grimy hand to the shelf in front of the window and shouted through the window in a shrill voice "Hey that mister! Lady wants her see yet!" turned away without paying any attention to my thanks and with the air of not having noticed me.
There is evidently considerable reason for believing the above statement. After at least several thousand years of development, men are still scheming and combining for self advancement; and what is the worst of all, men studying in the Universities, those whose principal business is to learn to avoid and prevent just such practices, are no better in this respect than many who can be more easily excused. The outlook is discouraging but there is a ray of light.
It has been asserted, perhaps by implication only however, that man is such by nature that he is deined always to spend a large part of his time in making combinations and schemes in order merely to overcome his fellow man. Such a pessimistic statement, even though it probably comes from a very unpessimistic writer, calls for an investigation.
Perhaps it is impossible that the advancement of self should ever wholly cease to be a motive of human conduct, and it is no doubt fortunate that such is the case; but as man grows wiser he will more truly know the meaning of self-advancement. He will find that in this universe of harmony the individual is a part of the whole, and that the advantage of the whole is the advantage of the individual. He will find that the way to lose his own good is to seek it at the expense of others.
Therefore to induce man to work for the good of others, and take no thought of himself is not necessarily the problem that confronts us. It is reduced merely to teaching him to know what his own good is. That this is no insignificant task is shown by the fact that man is still ignorant after several thousand years of instruction; but it does not seem so difficult as the other problem, and we may hope that sometime in the future it will be solved.
What the student can do to bring this about, is a very different question. When he has seen and admitted the deprivation of certain customs, he is something worse than useless to society unless he abandons them himself. Whatever he can do toward inducing others to follow his example is just so much gained. What can we think of a man who admits the wrong of an action and still continues to perform it only because he thinks it a hopeless task to induce others to stop also? The example of one man who independently adheres to the right principle is of more influence than is sometimes apparent. The way to suppress schemes and combines is to publicly express an opinion of their real character.
last Sunday's Meeting
The Union meeting of the Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Associations, which was held in Music Hall last Sunday was very interesting and was well attended. Mr. A. E. Moody in a report of the Detroit convention gave a very inspiring and instructive talk. Misses Kate Riggs and Florence Hoge sang a duet which was very much appreciated and enjoyed by those present. The city Y. M. C. A. also joined with the college Associations in the meeting. There is no reason why we should not have more of these union meetings and thus engender more of the truly sociable Christian spirit.

If weather permits, a game of base ball will be played with the Haskell nine tomorrow afternoon at McCook field. A small admission fee will be charged.
Considerable interest has been aroused in base ball. Many of the candidates practice regularly, and McCook field prepares a lively appearance every afternoon.
The treasurer of the Athletic Board received a charter early this week from Secretary of State Osborn. The Board met Tuesday to consider the constitution and by-laws recommended by the old Board.
The Adelphian Quartette gave a very good concert Tuesday evening at the chapel for the Athletic Association. Only a small audience was present. Those who stayed away missed a fine entertainment. Such an affair should receive the patronage of the entire student body.
The charter of the Athletic Association was filed March 19th under the act entitled "An Act Concerning Private Corporations," the main provisions of which are:
The name of the corporation is "The Athletic Association of the University of Kansas."
The purposes for which this corporation is formed are to further and promote the physical education and hygienic training of matriculates and graduates of the University of Kansas, and to foster and supervise athletic sports and games, to-wit; base ball boating, football, tennis, track athletics and other innocent sports in connection with said institution. The business of the corporation shall
The corporation shall have perpetual succession by its corporate name.
The business of the corporation shall be transacted in the city of Lawrence.
There is no capital stock, nor are there any shares of stock.
The officers of the corporation shall be a President, a Vice president, a Secretary, a Treasurer, and a Board of Directors, not exceeding eighteen in number, and such other officers as the Association may, from time to time, prescribe. Names of directors chosen for the first year are: Garrett, May, Moody, Orr, Kutz, Mattheson, Williamson, Hogg, Edwards, Newson, Miss Whitman, Coleman
---
The time and manner of holding the elections, and the terms of office of the several officers may be prescribed by the Association.
The corporation shall have power to regulate the admission of members from matriculates or graduates of said University; their suspension or expulsion and the causes which justify such suspension or expulsion, and the manner of effecting the same; and the mode and maner in which the property of said corporation shall be divided, and appropriated in ease of dissolution of said corporation, or winding up of its affair; and any member expelled shall forfeit all right which he may have to any of its property, real or personal.
The old athletic board met Wednesday at 1 o'clock and transferred all of its property, money, apparatus, etc., to the new association as incorporated under the State laws.
Chancellor Snow's Visit in Colorado.
Chancellor Snow's Visit in Colorado. Chancellor Snow delivered a very interesting address last Wednesday at the dedication services of the Coburn Library building of Colorado College in Colorado Springs. Our Chancellor mentioned his first visit in that city, in June of 1876, on an expedition to collect natural history specimens. At that time, he stayed over night at a small hotel, and in the morning found some new specimens of horned lizard on the city streets. According to the Colorado Springs Gazette he continued to speak as follows:
"I represent the State University system of education; for, with all deference to President Harper, we have in Kansas

a system graded from the primary school to the University. Education is making great strides in Kansas. We are now erecting at our University a library building to cost $90,000. We have now 10? High schools and fifteen academies whose courses of study lead directly up to the University. We believe in co education in Kansas and some of our brightest students are women. On behalf of Kansas University and the State of Kansas I bring you greeting and congratulations."
The Chancellor also made an address on the occasion of the laying of the corner stone of the Deaf and Bind Institute at the same place where his words were listened to with great interest.

some Statistics Concerning Our Fresh-
Class
man Class.
Professor Bailey has taken some statistics regarding the birth and parentage of the Freshman class which may prove of interest to our readers. 58 per cent of the class of 97 were born in Kansas, and all but five members in the United States. The place of birth of the remaining 42 per cent is represented by 22 different States, territories, and countries.
Again, the ancestors of 43 per cent of the class have been Americans for three generations, and those of 72 per cent for two generations.
The composite character on the nationality of the Freshman students is further shown by analysis of those results. This analysis shows that of those having ancestors of foreign birth; 21 per cent are English; 15 per cent Irish; 17 per cent Scotch; 21 per cent German; and, if we include in the Germans other allied races such as the Scandinavians and Danes, the percentage is raised to 30; 6 per cent were French, and the remaining 11 per cent were scattering.
The lines of study in which the new degree of Ph. D. is offered at the University are as follows: Greek, Latin, French, German, English, Political Economy, Sociology, American and European History, Philosophy, Entomology, Paleontology, Mineralogy, Stratigraphical and Physical Geology, and Mathematics. This degree will not be given for scholarship alone, nor for the completion of a prescribed course, but the applicant must have done some independent work in his special course of study, and must also have written a thesis on some special subject which must
The New Degree of Ph. D.
be a complete exposition of the subject. The addition of this course to our University curriculum will be the means of keeping our Kansas men from going further east to obtain such a course of study and will doubtless give some an opportunity for higher education and independent research who would otherwise never have a chance to obtain it.
A New Organization.
A Civil Engineering Society was organized last week by the students in the department of Civil Engineering. The following officers were chosen: President, H. II. Johnson; vice-president, J. A. Lahmer; secretary, H. II. Harris it is manifested in this new society that it promises to be a decided success. The meetings will be held each Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the engineering rooms.

THE COLLEGE WORLD.
The intercollegiate debate craze has reached the Dakotas. The Universities of three States will soon let the subject of government ownership of railroads decide which State can produce the best debaters.
A new science hall is being built at the State Agricultural College.
The Vox Studentum from Winfield College, which we received this week, is edited by Mr. Wetzel. Among the editorials appears the following: "Owing to other work, our editor-in-chief has had no hand or voice in this issue. The local editor and business, manager had control." Almost the whole paper is given up to an account of the oratory contest, and a defense of Mr. Wetzel from the charge of plagiarism.
In the Iowa State craterological contest, the first place was won by Frank C. McLean of Lenox College. His subject is "Typical American Citizenship."
The Senior and Middle Academic classes came together in Main street Friday evening and had a very exciting class fight. The class spirit been manifested now bodies evil for Arbor day. Baker Beacon. We are surprised. We did not suppose such things as this ever happened at Baker.
The following appears in the Kansas City Star: "JOHN A. Rush, the grower, who used to be a big man in State University politics, seems to have put down the war in Denver by sheer force of keeping out of it."
Baker and Ottawa Universities are squabbling over their ranks in the contest. Each seems to think its representative got fourth place.
In regard to the charge of plagiarism against the winner in the State Oratorical contest, the Ottawa Campus takes its stand with Wetzel, saying that he has acquitted himself of the charge. The Campus does not favor a called meeting of the association.
A called meeting of the local association was held last Friday to consider the request of K. U., to call a meeting of the State association to revise the markings of the judges in the State contest. Mr. Harrington presented the claims of the State University, but the association declined to accede to called meeting—Otawa Campus.
On inquiring who turned up the foot lights on Banta was speaking, we were told it was done by a Baker man. We would like an explanation if one can be given.—Ottawa Campus.
The Baker Beacon bewails the fact that the only political organization existing at that University is a Prohibition Club. The Beacon has gone into politics, and is supporting a certain Republican candidate for Congress.
The Senior class held a meeting last Friday in which considerable class spirit and enthusiasm was manifested, which is quite surprising in the class of '94. They have always been known as a class who were opposed to distinguishing themselves in anyway except by hard work and high grades. But now they have really concluded to do something in other lines.
The Senior Class Meeting.
A committee on base ball was appointed of which Archie Hogg is chairman, and it has already proceeded to challenge the faculty to a game of base ball. The
Other plans for commencement exercises will also be proposed.
STUDENTS, Call on us and see our new line of . . .
About forty students interested in the formation of a University debating society met in the Historical Seminary room after the adjournment of the seminary Friday afternoon. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Chas, Griflin and Mr. A. S. Foulks was elected temporary chairman and W. L. Gardner temporary secretary. Mr. Griflin stated that the primary object of the meeting was the organization of a club to train its members in improprums speaking and debating.
The University Debating Club.
The speakers on the affirmative were Messrs. Logan and Raymond, on the negative Messrs. Gardner and McCroskey. The club adjourned to meet this afternoon at 5 o'clock. The interest manifested in this debating society is great and such organizations should meet the hearty approval and support of all loyal students of our school.
A constitution providing that the name of the club should be the University Debating Club, and that the officers should consist of a president and secretary who should constitute the executive committee, was adopted. Officers were then elected as follows: President, W. L. Baxter; vice-president, W. C. McCrosky; secretary, C. S. Griffin, and E. W. Palmer sergeant-at-arms. After Mr. Baxter had taken the chair practical work was at once begun in the way of a debate on the question, Resolved that arrangements should be made for a joint debate with the Nebraska State University.
class of '94 ever since its Freshman year has been known as the most skilful class in all kinds of aleties in the University, although it has since then become so sleepy and careless as to almost lose this reputation. Now if the faculty accept this challenge the fame of the class as regards athletics will again be established; provided of course the class wins the game.
Committees were also appointed to see about photographs of the class, about obtaining some sort of a class pin or button and about making some arrangements for commencement. The latter committee will present to the class at its meeting to day, the plan of organizing a loan fund. This will consist of a sum subscribed by each member of the class, and deposited with the Chancellor. Any worthy student who may need financial aid may apply for and borrow certain amounts payable with interest at some convenient time. This plan may be the means of adding very materially some students who might otherwise find it impossible to secure a University education.
The reception room was decorated in a most charming and artistic manner. Draped across the corners of the room were portors disclosing behind their graceful folds, the most inviting resting places.
The Young Ladies Entertain.
The independent young ladies of the University entertained their gentleman friends, last Friday evening in a most pleasing and elegant manner in the beautifully decorated rooms of Commercial Hall. Dancing was the program of the evening, and judging from the way it was carried out, nothing more enjoyable could have been desired.

Flowers were arranged in great profusion, while here and there a parlor lamp with its soft glow lent to the scene, an air of ease and grace. In the refreshment room the guests were served with pine apple punch from a rustic well and served with something more substantial by little maids in costume.
