SUCCESS ACHIEVED in any selfish, dishonest or vicious manner, though it may be advantageous for the moment, is always followed by reaction.
WE ARE in a position to know that the Courier actually more than paid its expenses during all the time of its publication last year, notwithstanding reports to the contrary.
THE "GRIND" is to be found within the walls of every educational institution. The University contains many good specimens of this class. He is easily discerned by his moping habit of thought. His mental faculties have been abused. He does not realize that the mind needs rest, for when it is tired or when the topic is uninteresting he plods and hops over a lesson
until the power of concentration of the faculties is weakened; and the mental energy, which should flow in a strong current is eked out in drops. The acquisition of knowledge is important, yet how often it is purchased at an altogether too high price. The real end of an eduction should be the healthful growth and development of the faculties.
A CASE of sour grapes. It is indeed very singular what arguments the defeated will in their extravagent logic set forth for the awkward position they occupy. The excuses manufactured are quite surprising. Above all things be a man. If you are compelled to eat crow show your sterling qualities by manfully devouring the repast, you would have prepared for your opponents.
LAST SATURDAY's game was another manifestation of the intense enmity cherished by our sister Christian college. Many a man has been convicted by circumstantial evidence. From the beginning to the end of the game there was repeatedly one of our players laid out for a few moments by the foul and brutal means of the opposing. It is, indeed, deplorable that two neighboring schools cannot meet upon the gridison in a friendly and genteel contest.
THE YOUNG man striving for pleasure by developing his moral and intellectual powers is not more honest though a great deal better in his intentions than the one who seeks pleasures in the paths of dissipation. Sometimes he may feel the pangs of dissapointment and his face may be scorched with tears of grief and the current of the river Life may seem to beat heavily against him. The laughter and merriment of the multitude gayly drifting past him, may al-

most impell him to set sail upon the trembled waters which have worn ripples on the surface, but dark death beneath their waves.
THE LAW students deserve commendation for their enterprise in instituting a weekly law quiz class. There can be no doubt as to the benefit of such an organization. They meet every Saturday morning and discuss questions pertaining to the past week's work. It is a worthy example and deserves imitation.
THE HONOR and respect one feels and shows towards his recognized superior is decidedly indicative of broad-mindedness; while, insubordination almost invariably reveals the painful lack of intellectuality and the preponderance of conceit. We believe it not impossible to cultivate respect for even enemies, and count every effort spent in so doing a noble consecration. Toleration, forgiveness, respect and finally love are each successive steps in this direction; and experience must have taught us that, to take these steps requires great moral fortitude and resolution. But, who has right to doubt the outcoming good thereof? Each victory over a domineering will marks the growth towards perfect manhood; each attendant sacrifice, another tie that serves to bind men into a closer fraternity. Too often we forget our station in life,
or rather, overestimate its importance. 'Tis then that we presume and are unmindful of the fact that, presumption has been the frequent cause of downfall. Sooner or later we have always felt remorseful and bigoted for any puerile prejudice or disrespectful thoughts we may have entertained, perhaps manifested towards our accepted teachers. When it comes to bandying words with our instructors, we should try to think ninety-nine times before we speak once, the chances are that those ninety-nine thoughts will necessitate ninety-nine apologies. Looking carefully at this question of due respect towards superiors, notably our teachers, we can partially define and estimate its wisdom from even the narrow basis of self-interest. Imagine the extreme case of incapability. You unfortunately may be "doomed for a certain term [perhaps a whole year] to trust to misjudged ability. We are of the opinion that this is a case where ignorance of ignorance is bliss, and 'tis folly not to think it wisdom. In other words, to obtain the greatest amount of good from anything, we must feel a certain degree of confidence in its source, even though that source be exhaustible. And this confidence manifested by a show of respect, will help wonderfully to render the acceptance of superficial instruction not altogether harmful.

Young football men.
We've some young sports in our town, Yes, some young sports in our town And they put the money down So we'd win us great renown With football men.

Our football men.
All the muscle and the brains Yes, the muscle and the brains Came from Baker,and the gains Went to solace all the pains Of football men.
With our combination team,
Yes, our combination team,
We did fume and we did steam—
"But an iridescent dream "

Oh, we sold our honor cheap. Yes, we sold our honor cheap. For our scheme's all in a heap. And I fear we cannot keep Our football men.
They 'll go back to Baker soon,
Yes, go back to Baker soon,
And we'll have to dance the tune
Of old Hamill and young Moon,
Those music men.
But they never will be missed, No,they never will be missed For there's not a good Baptist On this Baker College list
Of football men.
But we've got them on the list,
Yes, we've got them on the list
Of our students—they're our grist,
So you see they can't be missed,
These football men.
Oh,but still it sticks in me. Yes, but still it sticks in me And I think I'd rather be A good Baptist,and be free From Baker men.

OTTAWA vs. K. U.
Brawn and a Small Amount of Science vs. Science. Game Results in a Tie.
The game with the Baker University-Ottawa combination last Saturday resulted in a tie but notwithstanding this fact it is evident that the aggregation was out played for the reason that the ball was kept in Baker University- Ottawa territory the greater part of the time, one official stated that the ball was in Ottawa territory, fully 6-7 of the time.
On Saturday morning the business streets presented a rather gala appearance, many of the stores being decorated in crimson. One business house, however, evidently does not care for the support of the students—this house displayed its loyalty to the University by having large yellow streamers across the front. The team from Ottawa arrived at 2:15 on a special train of about eight coaches containing in the neighborhood of 400 people, mostly Ottawa and Baldwin people—a good combination surely. The team was driven to the Eldridge house where they were given rooms, the doors were closed and the men began to get ready for the game. The Courier-Review reporter was fortunate enough to get inside and through the kindness of one of the team, met the men from Ottawa and learned that the line up was a little changed from what we had supposed it to be, both music students, Hamill and Moon, were with them and were anxious to get upon the gridiron so as to show the people that they were football players as well as musicians. The "Varsity" was the first to arrive on the field, the team was met with a thunder of applause and yells. A few minutes afterwards the old time kickers put in their appearance and were greeted with the academic yell "Ottawa, Ottawa, Hoorah, Hoorah; Ottawa "Varsity;"
52
The Courier-Review.
Rah, Rah, Rah!! At 3:20 the ball was placed at the center of the field, the teams lined up and the much talked of game was about to start. Ottawa had the west goal and the ball, with the wind in their favor—as expected, Taylor is to do the kicking—in fact the strength of the team lies to a certain extent in Taylor. Taylor starts the game by kicking the ball 25 yds into K. U. territory, by good running the ball is carried back 17 yds. Ball in K. U. hands. Cowan makes a run around the left end for 7 yds, Armour and Shellanbarger add 11 yds. to Cowan's gain. Pope makes a small gain and the ball again goes to Cowan to advances the ball 15 yds for the Varsity. By small but regular games by Piatt, Shelly, Wilson and Cowan the ball is advanced to Ottawa's 15 yd. line thus far the "Varsity" has done the playing for the two teams. But more by a disastrous and almost unexplainable fumble or pass the ball goes free and members of both teams try to fall on it, all the time the ball being kicked and pushed in "Varsity" territory, an Ottawa man falls on the ball with a loss of 35 yds. to the "Varsity." Very likely had not this unfortunate thing happened the "Varsity" would here have scored a touch down and won the game—but accidents will happen, and it seemed that luck was very much against the "Varsity" throughout the game, Allen fumbles the ball with a loss of 2 yds. but Ottawa falls on the ball, Taylor follows with a fumble, this time a red stocking falls on the ball and K. U. again has the ball, but keeps it but a short time when the ball goes to Ottawa on a fumble, Potter loses a yard by an end run, but soon distinguishes himself by making a run of 40 yds. the longest run of the game, Steinbarger tackles Potter on the "Varsity" 20 yd. line. Toomy, Taylor and Potter by small gains through the line get the ball dangerously near our goal. Taylor is pushed over and scores the first touch down of the game. Taylor kicks the goal and the score stands 6-0 in Ottawa's favor, time 15 minutes.
Piatt kicks the balls 35 yds. in Ottawa territory, Taylor carries it back ten. Ottawa can make no gains and the ball remains in their territory—the ball goes to K. U. on a forward pass by Allen, a favorite trick of his and one which should have lost them the ball a number of times. The "Varsity" makes a few good gains and then seem to lose their grip for the time being and the ball goes to Ottawa on downs. By good playing of the Ottawa backs the ball is brought a few yards into K. U. territory, Taylor makes a fumble, Amour falls on the ball and again the "Varsity" is ready to play, Piatt punts well for 45 yds. both Armour and Steinbarger getting down the field and tackling the Ottawa man before he could carry the ball back at all. In the first play now Taylor gets his head quite severely cut, the blood flowing freely, he displays a great deal of nerve in continuing to play with his head in that condition. Ottawa makes no gains and the ball goes to K. U. an downs. Ottawa now resorts to a little dirty playing and the "Varsity" gets 10 yds for an offside play. By sharp playing by the backs and Pope and Cowan the ball is brought to Ottawa's 4 yd. line. Cowan takes the ball over, scoring the first touch down for the crimson, Piatt picks a nice goal and the score stands 6-6. Time 20 minutes. The play closed the half.
K. U. takes the ball, the west goal and the wind in her favor. Piatt kicks the ball 20 yds. and Farrah carries it back 10, Ottawa's ball. Potter fumbles the ball and Griffith is found on top. The ball is now K. U's. The "Varsity" continues to advance the ball, the ball being in Ottawa territory all the time. Taylor and Potter now make some nice tackles. Piatt punts and the ball goes to Ottawa. Ottawa however, keeps the ball but a short time as Allen is caught making one of his famous passes. The "Varsity" makes a number of good gains keeping the ball well into Ottawa territory. Hamill resorts to some dirty playing, for which he should have been ruled out of the game. The ball is finally lost to Ottawa, when it seemed that the "Varsity" would surely score the ball being within 12 yds. of the goal line. Ottawa sees that the ball is in dangerous grounds so resort to a punt, Toomy making a splendid punt of 55 yds. Willie falls on the ball. After a number of small gains for the "Varsity" Piatt

53
punts 35 yds. Ottawa making a free catch and by so doing get a free kick. Taylor kicks 55 yds. the ball going into the "Varsity" hands. At this time the Ottawa team had the ball in "Varsity" grounds, but this was about the only time in the second half. The "Varsity" soon carries the ball back into Ottawa territory and keep it there the remainder of the game-but could not score again. The game closes with the ball in Ottawa territory and the score 6-6.
It was a good game, but not a splendid game—the "Varsity" did not put up the game which they are capable of playing and the game which they have been playing, the interference not being particularly brilliant. Stone playing a great game at center and but few gains were made through here. Piatt and Shellenbarger both bucked the line well. Williamson did some splendid tackling and saved some good gains for the Ottawa team on a number of times. Griffith deserves a great deal of credit for getting himself in condition, having been playing but a short time. Wilson, Pope, Armour and Moody played their usual game. Steinbarger on account of his ankle tried his end run but once, not wishing to cripple himself for the league games which begin next Saturday.
The visitors deserve special mention for their systematic dirty playing—evidently the team has been well coached in this respect. At times even resorting to choking. Bedell, Taylor, Potter and Toomy played good ball; Taylor and Toomy making a greater part of the gains for the visitors.
It is hoped that a game may be arranged with Ottawa after the season, as the "Varsity" is not satisfied and feels that their superiority was evident, but they want a chance to prove it in a more convincing manner.
The teams lined up as follows:
Armour ... R. E... Bedell
Cowan ... R. T... Farrah
Griffith ... R. G... Hamill
Stone ... C... Austin
Moody ... T. G... Moon
Pope ... L. T... Davidson
Steinbarger ... L. E... Pierson

Physical Culture in the State University.
A systematic, gymnastical training department is comparatively a new thing in the University of Kansas. Until the spring of '94 there was but little attention paid to the developing of a student's body as well as his mind. Until this time there was practically no gymnasium connected with the University, with the exception, in a small, poorly ventilated room on the fifth floor of the main building one might have found some dumb bells and Indian clubs—but this was such an out of the way place that but few students ever found their way there, many not knowing that such a place was in the building. the result was that a great many hard working students took no exercise save that taken in walking to and from the University. In consequence a great many of our best students were very poorly developed physically, and in some cases the grade 1 student was almost a physical wreck. Of what benefit will the good education be to this student who will have no health to enjoy or apply what he has learned in going through college? Is it not much easier to first develop the body and then the mind, or better still, in developing the mind at the same time spend a few minutes each day towards developing the body, and in the end it will be found that the one who goes through college in this way will make the better success in after life, enjoying it as he goes along. How often the case with a student in college, the "blues," nothing more or less than a feeling caused by exhaustion and lack of exercise; how easily this feeling can be driven away; take some exercise. For instance, take a brisk walk or run, then notice the effect. You will find that after this your mind is clear, and that the "tired-of-life" feeling has passed away, and now you are in a condition to work with a clear brain.
The girls in particular, do not see so much out-door life as the men under ordinary circumstances; and when in college they usually see less. The result is they take no exercise, and after having been in college for a year or two they break down. The fact that but few girls are found in the Senior class seems to be some

evidence of this. Weak eyes, headache, and many other ailments, in a great many cases result from the poor condition of the body physically Would not a few minutes' exercise each day be worth the while, if these things would be avoided, doctor bills saved, and other benefits too numerous to mention obtained.
With the arrival of Mr. Cowan, who was to be the physical Director, arrived also Mrs. Clark, who was to take charge of the ladies' department of physical culture. It was decided by the faculty that every Freshman and Sophomore should be required to take this as well as any other study. It was also decided that it should be optional with the Juniors and Seniors. In order to arrange hours for this, it was decided that the Wednesday afternoon classes should recite on Saturday morning and that Wednesday afternoon should be a holiday. Three hours a day three days out of the week were given to both ladies and gentlemen: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday were the ladies' and Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday were given the men.
THE LADIES' DEPARTMENT.
Under the systematic direction of Mrs. Clark this department has reached a high state of proficiency, taking into consideration the comparatively short time which she has had charge of the young ladies.
The young ladies are required to wear the regulation uniform, which is in the order of "bloomers," and these are made of dark blue cloth. The ladies are formed in a line, single file, according to height. They go through a number of short exercises: marching, running, and things of such character. A breathing exercise usually follows this, with the usual calisthenics. This is probably one of the pretties parts of their drill and also one of the most beneficial. After this comes the longest and most important part of the drill: the fencing lesson. Mrs. Clark is quite proficient in the use of the foil, and therefore is in a position to teach the young ladies many different points in fencing. The fencing lesson usually lasts from 15 to 25 minutes. The young ladies are divided into two lines. These lines are placed
at the regulation distance apart, the young ladies facing each other. The "advance," "guard," "thrust," and "parry" are the movements most practiced. This closes the hour. The young ladies then have a few minutes in which to get ready for their classes.
THE MALE DEPARTMENT.
As before stated this is under the able guidance of Mr. Cowan, and the good results testify as to his ability.
The men are arranged in line and the roll is called by numbers. After roll-call the men march around the room, and in passing the dumb-bell racks, each man takes a pair of dumb-bells. A good quarter of an hour is spent in exercising with the dumb-bells, running, and going through a few calisthenic exercises. Mr. Cowan, acting as leader, goes through a number of exercises on the different bars, horizontal ladders, vaulting horses, and vertical ladders. The class follows him through the above exercises, which takes up the time left for exercising.
Already not a small number of students have become good gymnasts, and feeling encouraged from their success thus far, they will continue in this direction and in the end become strong, active and muscular men.
Let the Physical Culture department of the Kansas University become a fixture and many and great will be the good results gained therefrom.

Economic Seminary.
The Economic Seminary met last Monday evening in the historical and sociological seminary room in the library building. In spite of the fact that the night was cold and damp there was a full attendance of members.
The program consisted of reviews of articles in some of the leading periodicals. Mr. J. W. Engle gave a synopsis of the article in the August number of the Fortnightly Review by John Law entitled "A Week in a Co-operative Colony." This was followed by a review of the September number of the Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science by Mr. S. S. Brown. Mr. R. W. Cone reviewed the article entitled "Value of Money" by F. A. Walker in the Quarterly Journal of Economics for October 1893. The program closed by a short review of the Obituary Record in the October number of the Review of the Reviews by Prof. F. W. Blackmar.
Society Notes.
Doubtless the swellest event of the season was the reception given Saturday evening by Beta Theta Pi in the new chapter house. There were about three hundred invitations issued and nearly that number of guests were present. The members of the Faculty and their wives, were entertained from seven to nine, the members of Kappa Alpha Theta, Pi Beta Phi, Phi Kappa Psi, Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Nu from eight until ten and the Kappa Kappa Gammas and Phi Gamma Deltas from nine until eleven. The house is very tastefully and completely furnished, and was very elaborately decorated for the occasion with palms and cut flowers. Handsome lamps with rose colored shades were placed here and there in the parlor and dancing room. The dining room presented quite an oriental appearance with its usual decorations of fans of various gay designs and a large japanese umbrella suspended from the ceiling over the table in the center. Pine apple ice and angelfood cake were served during the entire evening

In a daintily arranged corner of the dancing room Miss Bessie Stone gracefully presided at a punch bowl. A mandolin orchestra was stationed in the hallway and added greatly to the evening's enjoyment. The Betas forming the reception committee met the guests in the parlor on the right side of the hall and extended most cordial greetings. They must be congratulated on possessing that rare faculty of making each one feel that he is the guest of honor. Mesdames Perkins, Haworth, Stone, Hamilton and Alder assisted in making the reception a more pronounced success.
Language Conference.
At the meeting of the Lanuage Conference, October 12th, an interesting paper was read by Prof. Canfield on "A New French Book.
In France, last winter, a book appeared which was a conspicuous success. It was not a novel. It did not deal with the sciencer. It appeared at a time when the French people were directing their attention chiefly to Napoleon and his time. The book was a biography, not of a Frenchman but of an Italian, a man whose heart was overflowing with love for all God's creatures. Paul Sabatier's Life of Saint Frances of Assisi is not a popular biography. It is not fanciful but gives documentary evidence, each page being based on foot notes. Thus it is a work of erudition and science. To separate the novel from history of this sort is difficult. There is a tendency to make history a series of chronological events. Not all the original documents can be given, thus it is this process of sifting that tests the historian. History never embraces more than a small part of life. Some of the stories about St. Frances may not be true. Perhaps he did not meet the three virgins but the incident shows his love. Love is the real key to history, love is the key to St. Frances life. Sabanier mastered his subject and presented it in such a manner that the figure of Napolean was eclipsed for the moment by this mediaeral saint. This shows discontent with realism.
The remainder of the program was an informal discussion on Doctor Oliver Wendell
Holmes. A biographical sketch was read by Prof. Jones. A poem by Lowell to Holmes on his Seventy-fifth birthday read by Prof. Wilcox. Passages from the Autocraft of the Breakfast Table were read by Prof. Sterling.
Gentleman Jack.
James J. Corbett appears for the first time before a Lawrence audience. James J. Corbett the world's champion supported by a strong company, played the comedy drama, "Gentleman Jack" on Wednesday night, before a large and enthusiastic audience of citizens and students. By reason of his unbroken record and his coming match with Fitzsimmons, his coming to Lawrence has caused a great deal of discussion and has excited not a little interest in the man himself.
The play entitled "Gentleman Jack" is a five act comedy drama, which was written to be played by Corbett and his company only. It is a play which seems to adopt itself to all tastes, one which may be enjoyed by any one. His first appearance in the first act was the signal for loud and continued applause, which he received in a most pleasing manner. Mr. Corbett carried his part well, throughout the play, and time and time again he was called back to acknowledge applause. In the third act he appeared to great advantage in stating that he would defend the championship against the world. The fourth act shows his training quarters and in this act he demonstrates his ability in "punching the bag, as in boxing he excells any man in the world in the art of punching the bag." As advertised in the last act he spans three rounds with his trainer Steve O'Donnell; here he gives a scientific exhibition of the manly art of self defence, and the audience witnesses an imitation of a prize fight and knock out. Corbett's agility on his feet and his ability to dodge and get away from his man are features of his boxing. Besides the fact that Corbett was in the play, the play was well presented and was highly entertaining to the theater goers.
Soon after the play the representative of the COURIER-REVIEW secured a short interview with
The Courier-Review.
57
Mr. Corbett. Aside from his being the champion boxer of the world, Mr. Corbett is a gentleman and a scholar—he certainly merits the name "Gentleman Jack." He spoke mostly in regard to his training, which is kept up to a certain extent all the time. On account of his late hours, he sleeps some during the day. He is always careful in regard to his diet, eating but little which is rich. He usually spars with O'Donnell, wrestles with McVey, takes runs and walks and devotes a good part of his time to his favorite, the punching bag. By his general appearance and by the development of the muscles one may readily see that Corbett is in good condition and that he will be ready to defend the championship against "Fitz". Mr. Corbett has made a host of friends and it is hoped that the management of the opera house will secure him after he has conquered Fitz and is the retired champion of the world. As he says this will be his last fight.

Saturday the streets of Lawrence had a livelier appearance than they have had for a long time. It was a crisp sunny morning and everybody seemed to be on the street. The Indians as is their custom on Saturday morning, and a large crowd of people were down from Topeka, among them quite a number of pretty girls. But the thing that gave color to the crowd was the herds of buxom lassies and bashful swains from Baldwin and vicinity. Great crowds could be seen staring in show windows, particularly around a window of bright colored "galuses" were these honest, awkward guiltless sons of toil noticed pensively eating peanuts by their large handfuls. They undoubtedly enjoyed their visit in town to their utmost. Not an accident was reported during the day. A company of militia having defended them from any raids of the light fingered gentry. Our country cousins are always welcome.

There is no reason why everyone should not take short or long trips over the ever-popular, ever-ready and ever-improving SANTA FE ROUTE. It costs no more to ride in luxury in one of our fine coaches day car, chair car, or Pullman-on quick time and safe track, than if you went by other blowing-whistling-backing-and-sudden-stopping trains.

Why is it our University has no emblem? Many of the universities throughout the college world have uniform badges of some sort. We should adopt one at once. There are already several varieties in circulation.
ARTICLES, SOME even of considerable value, are mysteriously missing. The miserable miscreant, if more than one, they are yet personified as one, ought to be caught. If an example of such deeds could be detected and announced, the University would see to it that his kind would fear and tremble before its just indignation. This "one," however many he may be, does not hesitate to appropriate anything from a library book on the shelves of the seminary room to a hat or coat in the hall. Every means should be used to rid the University of such a common enemy and disgrace.
ONE HOUR'S bright, wide-awake study in the morning is worth a day's plodding. If there is a difficult lesson, the early hours should be devoted to it. For the mind having been revived by rest is more vigorous, clearer, and more able to accomplish a difficult task at this, than any other time.
NOTHING GIVES a man greater power than to know that he is master of the situation and to be conscious of a moral life. Let a man know a thing and be perfectly conscious of his knowledge and he has a power that any man with his profession half mastered cannot have. The thorough scholar is the only scholar who is able to accomplish much.
Do not study simply to learn the branch. Have a higher ideal than the acquiring of facts. You should have an end and object of study. To be sure, few have, and how often the absolute acquisition of knowledge regardless of means proves more harmful than beneficial. There he is probably a grade-one student, who has acquired many facts, and shoved them away in his head somewhere likes reference books we keep to consult, and the only talent he has to show for it is the faculty of acquiring more. True, the acquisition of knowledge is important. The real end should be the healthful growth and development of the faculties, and the acquisition of facts may or may not tend to this end. The habit of thinking and of mental action, which grows strong by use, is of more importance in every lesson than the knowledge acquired. The mental powers should be unfolded instead of branded with facts.

The Courier-Review.
THERE OFTEN comes to college, and generally everyone that comes is, a youngster, the family pride, a premature lad who far excelled his classmates at the district school, and who might have appeared to his flattering friends as the coming man for any position—even a director of the solar system. There is a slight change at college. Things are not the same as they were at home. In the classroom, on the field, and in society he finds a hundred matches and over-matches to contest with him. Defeat comes more often than victory; for he deals with fellows endowed with all the natural ability that he is, and in addition possessing the added strength of those who know aright themselves and are conscious of their defects as well as of their excellencies. The path of the conceited young man through college is indeed thorny. He wounds and bleeds at every turn
by the keen darts of a none too compassionate rivalry. His otherwise abominable conceit is all that prevents him from abandoning college and seeking the more soothing atmosphere of the homestead. But like the stoic Zeno, he remains at his post and grapples in the dark for an education for which he is but undergoing the severe trial of preparation. He must learn the lesson of humility. The dark cloud which hovers over him must be raised before he can make his way to Wisdom's temple. Then he can learn, excel, and perhaps reach his highest ambition. We must pass through this ordeal. The rough knocks of college knock out conceit and knock in sense. It may take the entire four years, yet if the idea that there are many able and competent men in college is deeply implanted, it has paid to enter college.
LITERARY.
Presentation Speech at the Dedication of the Spooner Library.
To establish a government in which every citizen should be the equal of all his fellows, not only in opportunity but also in wealth and station, has been the cherished dream of many of the honest and just and philanthropic men of every age since civilized governments were first instituted upon the earth. In our own country there are many such men, men who regard with grave alarm the vast aggregations of capital which recent years have witnessed, and who look upon the accumulation of large wealth in the hands of individuals or corporations as a serious menace to the liberties of the people.
We may not be the disciples of this school of political economy. Indeed so far from agreeing with this view, it may appear to us that the amassing of great fortunes and their combination for the prosecution of great enterprises, is not only one of the inevitable but one of the desirable results of modern economic conditions, and one of the factors which has contributed most potently to the establishment of our Republic, to the maintenance of its institutions, to the liberty and security of our citizens and to the advancement of our civilization. It is easy to recall the fact that when our heroic grandsires proclaimed that a new nation had been born, they pledged not only their lives and their sacred honors, but their private fortunes also, that the proclamation might be made good. It is easy to remember how, eighty years later, the gathered gold of private fortunes was again poured into the treasury in order that the Union might withstand the terrific shock of civil war. It is easy to remember that many of the most important contributions to our store of knowledge, many of our greatest institutions of learning, many of our noblest charities, would never have

brought their blessings to us but for the accumulations of great wealth in generous hands. It is easy to believe that the electric telegraph would have remained a curious toy, an idle and useless plaything, had not capital been massed to spread the web of wires over all the land. It is easy to believe that the invention of the locomotive, if made at all, would have been long ago forgotten had not uncounted millions been gathered and used to construct the great steel highways which alone have made it possible for this government to exercise authority and maintain dominion over an area more vast than ever before acknowledged allegiance to a single flag. All these reflections may be easily suggested, and may incline us to regard the unequal distribution of wealth as a blessing and not a bane.
It is especially easy to reach this conclusion when we stand, as we do today, on the threshold of a stately and beautiful edifice, erected and equipped by the benefaction of a lofty and loving soul, and dedicated forever to the entertainment, the instruction and the uplifting of the people.
I hold in my hand a copy of the last will and testament of William Brown Spooner, late of Boston, Massachusetts, and from it I read this clause:
"I direct the trustees acting under this will to transfer, convey and pay over the residue of my estate, in equal portions, to the Lawrence Seminary, in Lawrence, in the State of Kansas, meaning the institution with which my friend, Frank H. Snow, is now or has been connected, and to Oberlin College, in Oberlin, in the State of Ohio."
The noble wish, thus modestly and briefly expressed, has been carried out. The conditions attached to certain other bequests entailed a delay of several years in the final settlement, but during those years the estate was managed with such prudence, such sagacity and such absolute fidelity by Mr. Chas. F. Coffin, the sole surviving trustee, that when, in November, 1891, the last accounting came to be made it was found that the amount of the gift to the University of Kansas exceeded by nearly $20,- 000 the sum originally expected. The question
of the specific disposition of the gift was a serious one, and it was only after the most thoughtful consideration that the Board of Regents agreed to recommend to the Legislature that a sufficient portion of it be set aside for the erection of a Chancellor's residence, and the remainder be used in the construction of a library building. The Chancellor told us of this division in his remarks this morning, but he did not tell us that the Legislature not only approved the recommendation of the Regents, but went farther and specially provided that, in recognition of his great services to the State, and in token of the honor, the admiration and the affection in which he is held by every citizen of the commonwealth to which he has devoted his life, the Chancellor's residence should be the home, as long as he lived, of Francis Huntington Snow. The duty laid upon the Regents has been performed, and today witnesses the culmination and completion of a benefaction conceived nearly twenty years ago.
And now that the work is done, and I stand here commissioned to make personal presentation, on behalf of the donor, to the State, what shall I say?
The thorough scholar, the profound thinker, the polished orator who honored this occasion with his presence, told us a few moments ago, from the Chapel platform, that one of the first essentials in the moral uplifting of the race was kind hearts. A few weeks ago an honored citizen of our own State, a man who is "a close observer, who looks quite through the deeds of men," a lawyer who judges with keen and cold intelligence, a poet whose intuitions are quick and true, stood upon the same platform and proclaimed the doctrine, "Hearts win." He had had taken for his theme, "Success in Life." He discussed it from every standpoint, considered it in all its phases, viewed it in every light that history and experience and observation and logic could throw upon it. And the conclusion of the whole matter was summed up in those little words, "Hearts win." Not genius. Not learning. Not will. All these are good to have. Some of them must be had. But not any one of them nor all can avail to
62
The Courier-Review.
achieve the highest success. That can come only when the heart is put in command.
"For long as the grass may be growing and long as the waters run,
waters run,
The heart will forever be winning as hearts have forever won,
Commanding the battle of life till the battle of life is done."
It is my high honor and my great pleasure to stand before you to-day to speak for a man whose life deserved well to be cited as an example to enforce the truth of the doctrine our Poet Laureate proclaimed. I cannot speak, as I wish I might, from personal knowledge, for it was not my privilege to enjoy an acquaintance with Wm. B. Spooner. Neither can I speak from any written record, for the short and simple annals that have been available for me, condense the story of a long life into a dozen lines. They tell only of the humble birth in the obscure New England village away back near the beginning of the century; of the meagre schooling, only three years all told, and they from the age of seven to ten; of the boyhood of privation and the youth of toil; of the manhood of accomplishment; of the old age of contentment and peace, with "riches, honors, troops of friends." But even this record, brief as it is, could not close without two short sentences of characterization, and they are worth more to us now than all the rest. "He had a stainless reputation," is one of the sentences, "His charities to the poor were many," that is the other. Sentences that are almost harsh in their blunt brevity. And yet what orator eloquent enough to pronounce a prouder eulogy? He had a stainless reputation. "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches." His charities to the poor were many. "And now abideth faith, hope and charity, these three, and the greatest of these is charity." It is easy to see that during all the long life, while brains and industry and sagacity were gathering the great fortune, HEART was in command, directing how it should be gathered and dictating how it should be used. And then when the lengthening shadows warned him that his day was ending and it was time that the gathered fortune should be scattered, it is clear from the provisions of the last
will and testament that HEART was still in command. For we read here of bequests to the Massachusetts Total Abstinence Society, to the Baldwin Place Home for Little Wanderers, to the Children's Mission, to the town of his birth for the maintenance of a library, to the Unitarian Fraternity of Churches, to the Divinity School connected with Harvard University, to the Society for the Education of the Colored People of the South, to the National Temperance Society of New York, to the needy of Boston "who have seen better days," to the Massachusetts General Hospital, for free beds, to the Theological School at Meadeville, Pa. It is only a cold catalogue, put down in set legal phrase. But what elaborate statement could tell us more clearly how catholic were this man's views, how wide the range of his interest, how deep and strong the current of his sympathy. The cause of religion, the cause of education, the cause of temperance, the cause of the sick and unfortunate, the cause of the homeless, the cause of those who have been slaves, the cause of the little children. All these had found room and a welcome in the great and loving heart of Wm. B. Spooner. For such a man there can be no failure and no defeat. Accident or disaster might have scattered his fortune; and yet he would have died rich.
"For long as the grass may be growing and long as the waters run.
waters run,
The heart will forever be winning as hearts have forever won,
Commanding the battle of life till the battle of life is done."
It is in behalf of this man whose noble and useful life has so well deserved the tribute of our love, and in his revered and honored name, that I now present to the State of Kansas, through the Board of Regents of this University, this splendid and imposing structure. May the elements deal gently with it and the hand of Time touch it tenderly, that it may stand here through the long years that are to come, massive and beautiful, a monument to its illustrious founder prouder than stately shaft or gorgeous mausolem, an example to inspire others to whom great wealth has opened great opportunity, and better and higher than all, an

ATHLETICS.
K. U. vs. Iowa.
For the first time this year the crimson is defeated, and in a game where victory seemed certain up to the last five minutes of the game, when by mere luck and a fumble the opposing team secures the ball and makes a touch-down, winning the game just three minutes before time is called. The game with Iowa was thought to be off Thursday a.m., a telegram having been received from Iowa telling the Kansas boys not to leave Lawrence unless they heard further from them. Just in time to catch the afternoon train for Kansas City, the telegram arrived, but when the team arrived at Kansas City Thursday they went no further, as Iowa had sent no transportation; so the team had to remain in K.C. until Friday evening, when the tickets arrived. This delay caused the team to travel all night, and consequently they were not in the best of condition to play Saturday afternoon. Iowa as yet has given no satisfactory excuse for their delay in sending transportation, and it is the general belief that this was simply a scheme to weaken our team —at least the Iowa team ought to be made to give same satisfactory excuse. Steinberger and Williamson, the captain, were unable to play on account of not being in condition. The loss of these men weakened our team not a little.
The teams lined up at 3 p.m., the following men representing the two universities:
K. U. S. U. I.
Armor R. E Hayes

Griffith R. G Leighton

Iowa won the toss, taking the east goal and the ball. Keppler kicks the ball, which is carried back 10 yards by Shelly. Iowa gets the ball, makes a few small gains, and the ball goes to Kansas on a fumble. Hester, Wilson and Shelly advances the pig skin 17 yards. A few small gains and the ball goes to Iowa on downs. Iowa fails to make the necessary gain, and the ball goes back to Kansas. Small gains by Wilson and Hester; Shelly takes the ball around the right end, making a splendid run of 35 yards. The ball soon goes to Iowa on a forward pass, but is returned to Kansas, Iowa failing to advance the ball. Ball goes back to Iowa on a fumble. Herrig goes around right end for 30 yds. The ball is alternately in the possession of both teams, only small gains being made with the exception of a 25-yd. end run by Shellenbarger. A fumble follows this, and an Iowa man takes the ball, running 75 yards and securing the first touch-down of the game. Collins fails to kick goal. 4 to o in favor of Iowa; time, 23 minutes.
Piatt kicks the ball 40 yds.; Shelly prevents the man from carrying the ball back. Iowa can gain nothing, so resorts to a punt, gaining 25 yds. but losing the ball to Kansas. Small gains by Wilson, Shelly and Hester, when the ball is passed back to Piatt for a punt. Piatt does well and the ball goes back 40 yds. Iowa returns a punt. Piatt again punts the ball, which is touched by an Iowa man, but Armor secures the ball and carries it over the line. Piatt fails to kick goal. Score, 4 to 4: time of touch-down, 7 min.
64
The Courier-Review.
Both teams now resort to punting, the ball passing from one eleven to the other. Time is called for the first half with the ball in Iowa's territory.
Piatt makes a good kick of 40 yds., Iowa falling on the ball. Iowa makes a few short downs, when a Kansas man gets the ball on a fumble. Hester, Shellenbarger and Wilson make good gains, and Hester is pushed over the line for a touch-down. Piatt fails to kick goal. Time, 5 min.; score, 8 to 4 in favor of Kansas.
Iowa kicks 40 yds.; Kansas returns the ball but a short distance. After two downs Piatt makes a short punt, the ball going to Iowa. Iowa returns the ball to K.U. after trying four times to make a gain. Hill fumbles the ball, but falls on it. Piatt punts for 25 yds. and Iowa takes the ball. Iowa seems to be unable to make any gains: the ball again goes to Kansas on downs. The field is now in a muddy condition and sharp playing is impossible for either side. The ball is kept in Iowa's territory for some time, neither team however making large gains, until Collins breaks through the line and makes a run of 45 yds., scoring a touch-down. Collins fails to kick goal. Score, 8 to 8.
Piatt kicks 35 yds.; the ball is brought back 10 by Iowa. Iowa is still unable to make any gains, and in a short time, after good gains by Willson, Piatt, Hester and Shelly, Wilson goes over the line and Kansas is again in the lead. Hester fails to kick goal. Score, Iowa 8, Kansas 12.
Iowa kicks the ball 45 yds.; Hester, by a nice run, returns it 20. Both teams now get down to hard work, neither making large gains except by punting, the ball, however, is kept mostly in Iowa's territory. Hester is hurt and Fletcher takes right tackle; Piatt goes to full. Iowa now takes a brace and goes around the left end for 25 yds.; the runner makes a forward pass and Iowa scores a touch-down on the referee's decision. Iowa kicks goal. Score, 14 to 12, Iowa's favor.
But three minutes left to play. The ball staying in Iowa's territory. Time is called with the ball still in Iowa's territory.
Very likely there will be an official complaint made to the officers of the Association in regard to this game. Kansas claims that the second half lasted 10 minutes too long, and if such is the case, the game rightfully belongs to Kansas, for Iowa secured her last touchdown three minutes before time was called.
We may well be proud of the work done by our boys in Iowa, it being the opinion of the spectators that our men out-played the home team from the start to the finish. Good work being done by all the men; the tackling of Shellenbarger and Amour being a creature of the game. Simpson, at end, played a good game.
Lawrence to the Front.
The Lawrence High School team easily defeated the team from the Kansas City High School last Saturday on McCook field. It was evident from the start that the game would be a walk-away for the Lawrence boys, their team work and interference being much better than that of the opposing team. The Lawrence boys are to be commended for their sharp playing and their ability to move together when the ball is put in play. Another feature of the playing of the home boys was the manner in which they carried the ball back from a kick-off, keeping together well and preventing the opposition from downing the man with the ball.
The game was delayed for sometime by the Kansas City men refusing to play because a colored man was to play on the team. This was settled by the Lawrence manager taking the colored man from the team. As there was no provision made in regard to the color line, K. C. men are not to be commended for taking the stand which they did.
Lawrence piled up 18 points to the visitors' none in the first half, and 16 in the second half, the visitors again drawing a blank.
For the Lawrence team, Parnell, Nichols, Soxman, Wisman, Pardee and Darling did the star playing. The kicking of Peak, for the visitors, was a feature.

K. U. vs. Ann Arbor.
Probably the coming game with Ann Arbor has attracted more attention than any game ever played as yet in Kansas City. The Kansas City Journal gives as an estimate of the attendance 5000, but the number will very likely be larger than this.
The Ann Arbor team played Cornell and were defeated by the score of 22 to o, but, as every one knows, Cornell is one of the first college teams in the country; so if a team holds Cornell down to 22 points it must be a good one. Ann Arbor has seven of her last year's team, and with her new men and the able assistance of a coach from Princeton's last year's eleven, the team is in a splendid condition. Their defeat Saturday was their first this year.
The same with our team,the defeat last Saturday being the first. But little can be judged from this, as neither Williamson nor Steinberger were with the team in Iowa. The 'Varsity is now in good condition,and the team which will go on the field Saturday will be the best team we have had this year, or any other year.
The game will be played at Exposition Park. Excursion trains will be run from here. Let the delegation which will cheer the "crimson" be a large and enthusiastic one. Let the Rock Chalk yell be the one yell to be heard Saturday.
A. Battle of Giants.
The elevens representing the Phi Gamma Delta and the Beta Theta Phi fraternities played a close and exciting game of football last Saturday. Those who were so unfortunate as to go to either Iowa or Kansas City to see the league games missed probably the best game of the season-certainly the longest game ever played on the home grounds; time of second half, 50 minutes.
The Phi Gamms, under Jacque Morgan, were the first to appear on the field. They were cheered lustily by their many admirers and supporters. The Betas soon followed. They too were greeted with cheers from the throats of thousands (or more).
The teams lined up at 10:25 a. m., some being spent in waiting for the "King of Quarter-backs," Gohmer Thomas, known to us as "Tommy." Finally everything was ready and the game of games was about to be started.
The Betas, under "Kid" Alder, won the toss, taking the west goal, the "Morganites" the east goal and the ball. All hearts stopped beating and not a sound was to be heard as "Joner" Fletcher advanced with a firm step to kick the ball, which he did well, the ball flying into Beta Territory for 48 yards. The Betas tried hard to carry the ball back, but so solid was the line and so well trained were the "sports" that in but a few minutes the "Morganites" had secured the first touch-down and goal, "Stonewall" Ingalls kicking a hard goal. Score, 6 to o in favor of the "Morganites."
The Betas came up to the scratch with a look of "to do or to die" on their determined faces, and Alder, the giant, kicks well into Phi Gam territory; but the same old story, they could do nothing against the well trained "Morganites," and were totally unable to keep the opposition from making vast holes in their line and the backs from making long and repeated gains around their ends. At times the Betas were desperate and became wild in their efforts to gain an inch or two, but to no avail; Hoky, Smith, Baldy and the Prince being repeatedly downed behind the line. One by one the wearers of the Beta colors stole a silent march over the back fence of the Athletic grounds and were soon lost to sight in the wilderness west of McCook field.
At the beginning of the second half only Phi Gamma supporters were left to cheer the players. This was more than the Betas could stand: they lost heart and the game was called, the score being 76 to o in favor of the "Morganites." The alumni of the victors escorted the team in carriages, accompanied by a band, to their spacious hall where they were treated to a splendid banquet. Many and eloquent were the toasts. It is the universal opinion of all that the first inter-frat. game was a success. Let there be more of them.

A game of football was played Saturday morning by two rival teams of Betas. The winning of one team was due to ourselves at quarter, Shiras and Ray Fletcher as halfs, and Ingalls as left guard. And although we were out-numbered nine to seven, we found no difficulty in making a number of touch-downs on the opposing side and completely shutting them out. Spellman, Withington and Watson did good work, but their wind was short owing to the excessive use of "larup."
A game of football was played by the rival boarding clubs "Catagory Gulch" and the "German Club" Saturday morning. The German Club was defeated 14 to o. The Germans gave their signals in Dutch, while "The Cats" used the names of their table properties as slogans, the "corn, beef and cabbage" cris cross being very effective in going around the end, while "larup and cookies" was interpreted between center and guard. The signals were composed by Hassig and Morrison, and were very effective. The Gulch Club are ready to uphold the belt at any time.

The Misses Mary and Edith Snow entertained the Pi Phis at their home on Mount Oread on Hallowe'en. The evening was gayly spent in dancing, playing games appropriate to the evening, and telling ghost stories.
About forty young people were delightfully entertained Tuesday evening by the Misses Snow. Whist was the principal feature of the evening, but dancing and a general introduction to the "Hutchinson family" were also indulged in.
The concerts given at Music Hall on Thursday and Friday nights of last week, by the Detroit Philharmonic Club, were much appreciated by music-loving people. Herr Ludwig Blauer's rendering of Sarasate's Faust Fantasie was especially fine.
The Woman's League reception at Mrs. Williston's home last Saturday afternoon was a very enjoyable affair, both to the members and the guests. A large number of University girls were present, and all listened with interest to a paper on "The Life of a College Girl at Cornell," read by Mrs. F. H. Hodder. Chocolate and wafers were served by the Senior girls. The Woman's League is an organization which has a worthy end in view, and the girls should appreciate the interest taken in their welfare and happiness by the women of the Faculty and the professors' wives, and should do their best to show their appreciation by attending these occasional social gatherings.

IT MIGHT be well to speak individually to a few. This few is the inexperienced. You cannot work any great surprises among us. The millstone has ground too many bushels to be broken by a green kernel. Do not expect to be president of everything all at one time. There may be another man for that place. If you have ability, nurse it. Very little talent ever went unrecognized at K.U. When you are king you may expect to be crowned.
WE HAVE noticed a tendency to skip physical exercise. Physical exercise is a very important feature of university life, and one which in too many cases is overlooked. Frequently complaints of inability to apply the mind are heard, and protests are entered against the length of the lesson. Experience, if not observation, will convince anyone very readily that the
omission of physical exercise is the direct and almost invariable cause. It stands to reason that much more mental labor can be performed, as well as much more pleasure experienced, if regular and systematic exercise is taken. It is almost necessary that you become members of the classes at the gymnasium in order to pursue this essential part of the curriculum. It is the lack of physical exercise instead of overwork that causes the ailments of the modern college student.
THERE is no one thing so much lacking in the college student of to-day as an ability to concentrate his energies. No matter how bright he may be, his genius will, unless he learns his lesson, be dimmed when brought in contact with the world. His brightness will be as the flash of a meteor—a momentary glimmer, then all is dark. It is not enough for him to simply be in possession of a brilliant mind; for splendid abilities, unless backed up by a power of will, are a snare; he must learn the true guide to success—the power of self control.
ONE OF the handmaids of Conceit is Rashness; and rashness, to the intelligent, often presupposes an absence of intellectuality. The mind is subject to sudden spurts at the instigation of a wounded pride. It is more wise to let these remorseful thoughts die without utterance. Can you elevate yourself in the eyes of the sensible by making statements which clearly show the tender and revengeful spot the dagger of truth has reached in your soul? Does the argument that "were I a publican, I would be a sinner" affect the reality of the role the Creator has designed you to play? No excuses can transplant the fact that you are not a Greek or a Roman.

LITERARY.
The Higher Education of Women in Switzerland.
To judge from frequent erroneous statements and comparisons made by the educational press about co-education in European countries, there must be more misapprehension upon this point than almost any other. The opinion seems to prevail that women are debarred by law as well as by custom from all higher professional, technical, scientific, and philosophical education. A few facts culled from a pamphlet, Das Schweizerische Schulsystem (The Swiss School System), prepared by the Swiss Department of the Interior and distributed at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago, may be welcome to many, because they give the official statistics concerning the status of co-education.
In the common schools of Switzerland both sexes are educated together, and neither enjoys any special privileges except that the girls receive from three to six hours per week of additional compulsory instruction in woman's handiwork. Of the teachers of the common schools, only 32.3 per cent. are women. The reason for this must be sought in the fact that it does not pay the government to give young women the professional education which a Swiss educator must have. Experience has shown that the average time women teachers remain in the ranks of the profssion is less than four years.
With intermediate schools of Switzerland are classed the country and city high schools, gymnasia, normal schools, industrial and agricultural schools, and theological seminaries. In nearly all of these the young women are admitted on an equality with the young men, except, of course, the theological seminaries. Of country and city high schools (Secundarschulen), there are 477, with an attendance of 28,537 pupils, and a teaching force of 1370 teachers. Of the pupils, 16'346 are boys and 12,191 girls, and of the teachers 1178 are gentlemen and 192 ladies.
The normal schools are usually, though not
always, connected with the gymnasia, of which there are over forty in the republic. In these institutions co-education is not practiced. In many cantons there are two gymnasia of similar standing, one for the youngmen, and one for the young women, and in some cities the high schools are also organized on this plan. The gymnasia for the girls are called Hohre Töchterschulen, and there are about a dozen of these. Efforts are being made at present to secure admission for women to the gymnasia for male students, and if successful this step would undoubtedly be the greatest yet taken in the direction of co-education, for the gymnasia there are no parallel schools in the American system of education—are the institutions that have made possible the great universities and polytechnic schools. They give a six or seven years course in modern and ancient languages, higher mathematics, pure science, drawing, history, etc., that is fully equal to the usual classical course of the common grade of American universities, thus enabling the universities and polytechnic schools to devote themselves entirely to scientific or professional post-graduate work. No student can enter the latter without having passed the former. The gymnasia are usually divided into three or four schools: one of science and mathematics (Realabteilung), one of classics and humanistics, one of modern languages and technical science, and one of pedagogics. In Switzerland, last year, these gymnasia gave instruction to 17,299 students, of whom only about 4,500 were women. This number, one-fourth of the whole attendance, ought to be much larger, and the admission of the young women to all the gymnasia would undoubtedly increase it considerably, yet the fact remains that only few women attend the upper classes in the Töchterschulen, showing that the facilities for higher instruction are not generally appreciated by the sex.
It is difficult to give the reason for this condition of things, but a main point is undoubtedly in the fact that a thorough education does

not end with these six long years. In order to compete with the men in the learned professions, the young women must yet pass the university or polytechnic school, where an indefinite course of from two to four years awaits her. For obvious reasons, few women have the courage to devote from eight to ten years of their brightest youth in laboring for an intellectual prize, no matter how grand. The statistics for 1891 show an attendance of women at the four universities, five academies, and one polytechnic institute of Switzerland of only 220 regular students and a few auditors, whily the same statistice give the attendance of men at at 2847.
There is no difference in academic duties and privileges between the sexes at any of these institutions, though women were not admitted as regular students previous to 1865. Zürich was really the first university in Europe which
risked this last step in the co-education of the sexes, while Göettingen and Heidelberg did not grant admission to women until last year.
Only one of the several institutions of university rank has had the courage to engage women teachers, though every medical faculty possesses women assistants. The University of Zürich has had several women professors, and employs at present Dr. Emilie Kenysin to expound American and Roman civil law.
It will be seen that the emancipation of the weaker sex, as far as educational privileges are concerned, is nearly complete. Central Europe, as well as America, has conceded that there should be no difference of rights, but whether it is desirable that women should subject themselves in large numbers to the severe mental work required by extended higher training, is a question yet to be answered.

The "Crimson" of Kansas Plays a Great Game with the "Blue and Yellow"
of Michigan.
The annual game between Kansas and Michigan, which has been the chief subject for discussion in western foot-ball circles for the past few weeks, is now a thing of the past, but not one to be forgotten in a short time, for those who saw the game will doubtless be discussing the different features for some time to come.
It was a good and an exciting game. The boys from Michigan, although they expected a "snap," had no "walk-away," and had to play ball from the time the ball was put in play until time was called.
The Michigan team arrived in Kansas City Friday night and after practicing signals for an hour went to bed in order to get a good night's sleep and a rest after their trip.
The Kansas boys, accompanied by three hundred students, arrived in Kansas City about 10 a.m. The team went right to the Coates house, where the morning was spent in resting for the struggle which was to take place at 3 o'clock.
The Michigan team was to play without their regular captain, James Baird, his ankle being in a weak condition. However, before the game was over, Michigan found it necessary to put Mr. Baird in, however he was able to play but a few minutes.
Kansas was in a much worse condition, three of her 'Varsity men being replaced by substitutes. The team missed Williamson, captain; Steinberger, end; and Stone from center. With the team in this crippled condition it was indeed a surprise that they did so well. Very likely, had the 'Varsity had its regular line-up, the Michigan boys would have had to trail
72
The Courier-Review.
their blue and yellow back to Michigan as the colors of a defeated team. As it was, Michigan confidently expected to shut Kansas out—so from their standpoint the result was in the nature of a victory for the crimson.
There was quite a contrast in the appearance of the two teams, Michigan being much the heavier, their rush line average being 183 to 168 of Kansas.
It was a great game, however; the second half being much better than the first, the Kansas boys lacking confidence in the first, but in the second they took a decided brace, outplaying Michigan and keeping the ball in their territory the greater part of the time.
second half.
For the Kansas men the work of all was good, but in their tackling the men were not sure. Their tackling is too high; they must get down lower on their man. Hill, although this was but his second game at quarter, put up a good game, using much judgment in managing the team. He passed the ball well, and usually threw his man when he tackled. Much credit should be given Walker for his nervy game at center. Wilson, Shellenbarger and Hester bucked the line well and in the second half usually advanced the ball when it was passed back to them. Piatt took good care of his man, keeping him two or three feet back from the line. Pope and Moody both distinguished themselves by their work, our best gains being made through holes made by them. The longest run of the game was made by Armour, a run of 75 yards, which resulted in a touch-down. After the ball was down a Michigan man deliberately jumped on Armour, straining his ankle. This foul should have caused Dver to stop playing.
For Michigan, Dyer, Dygert, Ferbert, Senter and Baird did the playing. Senter's end runs were features of the game.

Michigan won the toss, taking the north goal, with the wind in their favor, giving Kansas the south goal with the ball. Hester kicks the ball 30 yards and M.U. returns it 10. M.U. starts in to play a fast game. By bucking the line and end runs the ball is advanced 30 yards. M.U. now passes the ball back to Dyer for a punt, as K.U. supposed, but such is not the intention of Dyer. Instead of punting he carries the ball around the left end for 15 yards. M.U. works the criss-cross for 15 yards. Dygert passes the ball to Bloomington who goes around the left end. By bucking the line and end plays M.U. gets the ball within a few yards of K.U.'s goal. Dygert goes between right tackle and end, scoring the first touchdown of the game. Bloomington kicked an easy goal. Score: M.U., 6; K.U., 0.
Hester punts well. Ferbert catches the ball and carries it back 20 yards. M.U.resorts to the same tactics again, most of their gains being made around our left end. M.U.again tries the "bluff punt." This time, however, Kansas is not asleep. Shellenbarger gets through the line and Dyer is downed with a loss of 8 yards to M.U. This loss forced Dyer to punt. Wilson caught the ball but was tackled right away. Hester tries to punct but M.U.gets through the line and the ball goes against the men and bounds off.
Smith finally falls on the ball. Senter now makes two end runs, which result in a touchdown for Michigan. Bloomington again kicked goal. Michigan, 12; Kansas, o.
Hester again puts the ball in play. Dygert this time carries the ball back. Bloomington gains 10 yards by an end play. Kansas gets the ball on account of interference, but can gain nothing and the ball goes to Michigan on downs. Bloomington, Senter, Villa and Dygert carry the ball around and through the Kansas rush line until the ball is

on the Kansas 10 yard line. Price makes a good run around the left end, scoring the third touch:down for Michigan. Bloomington failed to kick a difficult goal. Score, Michigan 16, Kansas 0.
Kansas kicks off, the ball bounding 30 yards in Michigan's territory. Ferbert again catches the ball, but returns it but a short distance. Dyer makes a good punt of 50 yards. The ball goes out of bounds and Hester gets it. The ball is passed back to Hester for a punt. The punt is a failure, but Kansas gets the ball. The ball again goes back to Hester for a punt. This time he is more successful, the ball going high into the air. Dyer attempts to fall on the ball, but fumbles. Armour has followed the ball well and as Dyer fumbles Armour secures the ball 75 yards from Michigan's goal. Armour led Dyer a good race, but Dyer could not overtake him, and Kansas scores their first touch-down amid the cheers from the Rock Chalk supporters. Dyer jumps on Armour after he is downed. This act was anything but a just one, and Dyer is to be censured for doing this. Armour has to retire, Foster taking his place. Shellenbarger kicked goal. Michigan 16, Kansas 6.
Michigan puts the ball in play by a kick sending the ball well into Kansas territory. Kansas returns with a punt. Ferbert caught the ball. Michigan hurries the ball now and time is called with the ball in Kansas territory.
There was a decided change of affairs in the second half, Kansas taking a marked brace and playing great ball. Kansas takes the north goal with the wind in her favor. Dygert kicked off for Michigan and Kansas returns with a punt. Bloomington and Dygert both make good gains around Kansas ends. The ball is passed back to Dyer who punts, but a very poor punt. Ferbert fell on the ball for Michigan. Michigan tried hard to gain with no success, the ball going to Kansas on downs.
Now something seems to inspire Kansas and the boys from the sunflower state take a brace and show the Ann Arbor team what can be done when tried. Moody and Walker make a hole large enough for "Baby" Smith to go
through. Hester takes the ball, goes through the opening, and makes a splendid gain of 20 yards. Michigan got down low and tried to hold the line. In a scrimmage which followed Dyer was hurt and had to retire. Ferbert went to full and Baird went into the game at quarter. Hester and Wilson again hit the line for small gains. The ball is now on Michigan's 12 yard line. Kansas now gets ready to make her second touch-down. The ball is passed back to Wilson who goes through a hole made by Moody and Pope, for 12 yards, scoring a touchdown. This was a signal for great applause from the Kansas quarter. Shellenbarger again kicks a nice goal. Score, Michigan 16, Kansas 12.
Kansas now is playing great ball, with a tie and perhaps a victory in sight—a touch-down to tie and a goal to win—if they could do this and keep Ann Arbor from scoring.
Michigan kicks for the third time, the ball going 30 yards into Kansas territory. Kansas returns with a punt, Michigan falling on the ball. Michigan can no longer make gains through or around our rush line, so resort to a punt. Kansas takes the ball and makes many short gains. The ball is passed back to Hester who punts well. Michigan again has the ball and by steady work they score another touchdown. Bloomington kicks goal. Time, 14 min. M.U.22, K.U.12.
Hester makes the kick-off and the ball goes well into Michigan's territory. Michigan can make no gain, so the ball is punted by them. Both teams do much punting now and the teams move to and fro with the ball. Baird's ankle is hurt again and he has to retire from the game. Ferbert goes back to quarter. Dygert goes to full and Richardson enters the game, playing left half. Kansas now gains steadily on Michigan, finally getting the ball on Michigan's 20 yard line. The ball is passed back to Piatt who tries for a drop kick goal. The ball bounds over the line, a Michigan man falling on it. This counts for nothing. Michigan gets the ball at the 25 yard line and a free kick. Michigan kicks, but Kansas soon has the ball back in Michigan's territory. The backs now go through the line regularly, the ball all the time getting nearer to Michigan's goal line. But Kansas has not the time to score again. Time is called with the ball 13 yards from Michigan's goal line, and the game is ended—a victory in a certain sense for both teams.

We hear from all sides that more space should be given in the COURIER-REVIEW for local news. With all due respect to the other departments of our paper, it must be admitted that the majority of our students are as much interested in the gossip and small talk afloat as they are in the more serious questions that confront us. So give us more room.
The University has just received from Germany a collection of 385 phototypes of Greek and Roman sculpture. Prof. Wilcox is now engaged in sorting and arranging them, putting them in condition for use in illustrating the Greek and Latin studies. These plates show reproductions of both originals and copies of all periods of Greek and Roman art, from the lowest beginning to the finest works. The subjects were selected by Prof. Brunn of Munich, the highest authority on ancient art, and were photographed and reproduced under his immediate direction. As soon as practicable these plates will be put on exhibition in the Classical Museum, where all can see them. In the meantime Prof. Wilcox is arranging to have a number of them reproduced on slides, with which he will illustrate the course of lectures he is now giving the Greek Symposium.
Music Hall Notes.
Music hall has a big attraction for next week. On Monday night, November 19, Edward Baxter Perry, the celebrated Boston pianist, will be here. He is an old favorite here, so those that heard him before know what to expect. The program is a musical menu that will make your mouths water when you hear it. Chopin, Liszt, etc., and some of Mr. Perry's own compositions are among the numbers. Tickets will cost 50 cents. We hope for a crowded hall. Our own students appreciate good music too well not to go, and we hope others will be on hand.
By the way, those pianoforte recitals that are given at the hall every second Wednesday are well worth hearing. A good program, a comfortable seat and a warm welcome are extended to all. The last one was a little gem, reflecting credit on all who participated. There will be another next Wednesday afternoon.
We can hardly realize that the first half term has passed already. From all that has been heard the students of the School of Fine Arts have been putting "the best foot forward" and are getting there in all the departments in fine style. Hurrah for the School of Fine Arts! Hurrah!

SOCIETY NOTES.
Pronouncing Contest.
On Monday evening, November 5th,the young ladies of Kappa Alpha Theta initiated Misses Katherine Dunn, Eva Way and Florence Clarke. After the ceremony was "performed refreshments were served. All had a delightful time, as is always the case at the charming home of Mrs.Haskell.
The reception given last Thursday evening at the home of Prof. Penny by the Daughters of the King was a very pleasant affair. A musical program, which furnished entertainment the greater part of the evening, included piano solos by Prof. Penny and Miss Anna Perry, a violin solo and a whistling solo by Prof. Farrell, vocal solos by Prof. Farrell and Mr. Eaton, and a reading by Miss Elsie Scharf.
Invitations are out to the Sigma Nu annual party, to be given a week from next Friday.
A committee of the Language Conference is making arrangements for an unusually interesting contest this winter. About February it is proposed to hold a pronouncing match between about a dozen representatives from each of the four classes of the School of Arts. Through the generosity of Messrs. Schaum & Henshaw, the University Book Store and Mr. Tracy Learnard, the committee is able to offer to the winners a number of valuable prizes, the best of which will be a new International Dictionary. The classes have all had meetings to choose captains, whose business it will be to hold preliminary contests within the classes to determine thereby the representatives to take part in the final contest. The preliminary contests will be held within a week or so, and to the winner in each preliminary contest the committee will present as a prize Phyfe's "Seven Thousand Words Often Mispronounced," a book which will serve as the source from which all the words will be taken for both preliminary and final contests. All students in the School of Arts will have an opportunity to take part in the competition and it is expected that great interest will be aroused in the pronunciation of of the vernacular.
In the last number of the Romaine, published at Paris, is an article by Miss Annie R. Pugh, '91. It is quite an honor for an American to contribute to this magazine and Miss Pugh's friends will be glad to hear of her success.

There is no reason why everyone should not take short or long trips over the ever-popular, ever-ready and ever-improving SANTA FE ROUTE. It costs no more to ride in luxury in one of our fine coaches day car, chair car, or Pullman-on quick time and safe track, than if you went by other blowing-whistling-backing-and-sudden-stopping trains.

BE COURTEOUS to your instructors. They deserve the utmost respect. Do not let your thoughtlessness carry you even to the verge of discourtesy. Every professor in K. U. uses due courtesy, and no true gentleman would be so discourteous as to deviate from this rule.
WE HAVE a large spacious library and a FEW books. The University student and professor are not hampered for the want of room, nor are they suffering from the effects of an overcrowded school room. Far from it; for according to the temperature of some of the class rooms two weeks ago we have more space now than we are able to fill with molecular motion. But the student and professor are hampered in their field of research by the few volumes in our library. What does the student
and man of ability care for the air-castles which we have and may erect on Mount Oread! They are of little value unless embelished with the treasures of knowledge and learning. K. U. at present is sorely in need of two special appropriations; an appropriation sufficient to buy fifty thousand volumes for the vacant shelves in our book stack, and an appropriation of one hundred thousand dollars to erect and equip an observatory. The University of Kansas has a seventy thousand dollar library, and how MANY VOLUMES IN IT? She considers herself one of the leading institutions of learning in the West and HAS WHAT FOR AN OBSERVATORY?
EXPERIENCE is a dear teacher. Year after year we have met our smaller sister colleges and academies upon the gridiron. By so doing what has there been for us to gain? It is an honor, to be sure, for a side-street academy to meet us upon the foot-ball field, and, financially, it has filled their empty treasury. The contests have invariably resulted in eleven prize flights in which our men were made unable to carry the crimson to victory in the quadrangular league. Let us profit by our past mistakes.
LAWRENCE OFFERS an extraordinary good site for an observatory. In the plans of the Board from legislature to legislature the astronomy department has been sadly neglected. All universities and colleges throughout the world have cared for this department and recognized its importance. It is with disappointment we learn the Board, in laying their plans for the next legislature, have ignored the wants and needs of this science. Since the establishment of K. U. this department has not received a single special appropriation of which we are able to find trace.

LITERARY.
Motives for Reading.
Self-respect is the secret of well living. A righteous motive is the binding hostage which self-respect exacts. Reason grants this pledge, pride awakens, and for the time the host of passions is under bane. Jealousy, selfishness, with comrades and leaders, cast aside their various weapons and like so many vanquished brave, treacherous to the last, wane and die out under the softening influence of advancement. As long as the true worth of this hostage be mutually appreciated, peace is sure, progress infallible. Reason defends manhood from the influence of evil passions rather by policy than by untimely violence—would pacify rather than aggravate. Peace, evenness and strength of character, self-respect are assured by the manifested existence of a righteous motive.
"What to ourselves in passion we propose The passion ending doth the purpose lose."
An inate sense of the right and wrong, resolution, perseverance, and an abiding consciousness of purpose are essential characteristics of a thorough reader. Here, I venture to generalize, and summing up these traits, consider the four as parts, motive as the whole. Granting at least the partial validity of this conclusion and bold deduction, I ask your indulgence for the following pursuant remarks. Sophomorical as they must seem, they are purely characteristic of that critical stage in a college career; when impulses often prove untimely and assertions illogical.
A classic is the outgrowth of some pure motive. Both style and matter must be permeated with the spirit of instruction or reform, and the reader, who has become familiar with the author's end is so much more capable of appreciating his means. Hence the importance with your author's biography and the necessity of studying his preface. There are few prefaces which one can, with justice to himself, overlook; there are few prefaces which were not written for careful perusal; there are few prefaces which we may not consider as criteri-
ons of the literary merit of the books they introduce. Men have written introductions which are masterpieces in themselves; have been as solicitous for the proper reception of their explanations and apologies as they have been for the welfare of the whole work. Pursuing this line of thought, it seems entirely logical that by reading the statement of a man's purpose, we necessarily strengthen our own. Sympathy between reader and writer is augmented by a peculiarity on the part of the former with the character of the later.
That a motive is all essential for profitable reading is undeniable; to say what that motive shall be is as unreasonable to attempt as it is impossible to determine. We are justified in supposing that the lawyer reads his Hamlet with a particular view of mastering its precepts; the persuasive style of its dialogue; its marvelous union of great and small, good and bad, wise and foolish. The critic reads line by line, and sometimes the pedant presumes to condemn. The actor notes carefully the intensity of its dramatic situations; the preacher, its purity and moral tenor; the statesman its sublimity and force; the poet its inspiration, and the men of letters are completely awed. All admire and ponder, but their several motives are rarely coincident.
Our common motive in reading, deservedly our primary, should be to absorb; and there are but few instances when reading for pleasure and pleasure alone, is not censurable. It is true that, to a certain extent, we assimulate involuntarily; but the bits of wisdom thus acquired seldom prove serviceable. Why? Because the inveterate novel reader, a shallow pleasure seeker, carefully avoids practicalities; and ideas unbacked by purpose are as valueless as the philosophy of fanatics. It is generally agreed that extremes are obnoxious, and consequently to be avoided; but it strikes me that the man whose purpose has been accepted as worthy can never be two steadfast or aggressive in furthering it. Society sometimes condemns
The Courier-Review.

and terms him a "crank," but sooner or later it must recognize his genius. It finds that prattling fool a wise man; and that narrow, selfish hermit, a human henefactor, who has lived and toiled and suffered for the promotion of his countryman's welfare. And this "crank" is the man who read with a thoroughness and intensity of purpose scarcely less than his insatiable avidity.
While a good motive in reading an unworthy piece of literature cannot always justify the act, it affords a plausible explanation, and usually excuses. Evils can be remedied only when the reformer is conscious of their origin and history; and he is taught this in the school of experience and research. A clergyman who has never visited their haunts cannot effectively urge a crusade against liquor dealers. No more can an Emerson lament the scarcity of
our modern classics without having seen and read our modern trash.
Unconscious growth is always gratifying, but such gratitude is invariably finite. We thank ourselves. Our success has been proportionate to our effort. Subservient all to a diviner will, we throw down the gauntlet and the long, long strife has begun. It stands to reason that in this mortal struggle for supremacy, the lazy, self-satisfied fellow will be no match for a man,—one who has the will to say and do.
A motive for living is gratitude for creation. "Consistency thou art a jewell" and motive claims thee.
"But what we do determine oft we break,
Purpose is but the slave to memory
Of violent birth, but poor va idity.
Which now, like fruit unripe, sticks on the tree
But falls unshaken, when they mellow be."

ATHLETICS.
Kansas vs. Nebraska.
The boys from Nebraska treat the 'Varsity to a genuine surprise; the "snap" proves to be no snap at all, and the Nebraska team walks from McCook field the victors in a good game. By this defeat Kansas lost the last chance to win the pennant of the Western Football League. All interest will now be turned toward defeating Missouri, not for the sake of winning a pennant but on account of the rivalry existing between the teams representing the two states.
The Nebraska boys arrived Friday night, and retired as soon as they could get to the hotel. With them was the colored man Flippin, who has been winning the games for the Nebraska boys—almost a giant in build. The visitors spent Saturday a.m. in walking and lounging around the hotel. As usual, our boys spent the morning in the training quarters being put in condition for the game by the trainer.
The game was to be called at 3 o'clock, but on account of a wrangle over the officials, it
was almost 4 o'clock when the ball was placed at the center of the field and the teams lined up for the game. Nebraska won the toss, taking the east goal, leaving Kansas the ball. For the first time in weeks Steinberger was found at his old place at left end. Harris played his first game of football, playing as right tackle. Armour's ankle would not allow him to play, and Foster went to right end. Stone at center and the line-up of remainder of the team being the same as usual.
The game was thought to be in the nature of a snap for Kansas, a great many believing that the visitors would be shut out-even the Nebraska boys expected no more than to be able to score-but who can tell what the result of a football game is going to be until the game is played.
It took Kansas but three minutes to score a touchdown; Nebraska at this time seemed to be unable to do anything with Kansas, the Rock Chalk boys making gains at their will.

The Courier-Review.
But oh! what a difference after the Nebraska boys got warmed up; and how that Negro Flppin did play ball, almost always making a good gain when the ball was passed to him. Hill played a snappy game at quarter, passing the ball well and doing some nice clean tackling. Foster, at right end, played a strong game, often getting into the Nebraska interference and preventing good gains. Stone, at center, held his man well; Stone's game is always first class. Griffiths, Moody, and the backs put up their usual game; in fact the team as a whole played good ball. The only reason for the defeat is that Nebraska simply outplayed Kansas. It was a mistake to put Harris in the game, for he has not been playing long enough to thoroughly understand the game. A great many gains were made through the line at this point.
The teams lined up as follows:
NEBRASKA. KANSAS.

Kansas has the west goal and the ball. Hester kicks for 35 yds.; Fair returns 10. Nebraska fumbles and the ball goes to K. U. The backs, in five plays, advance the ball until it is almost clear the line, but on a question as to its being over, Robinson decides that it is not, and the ball goes to Nebraska on Downs. Flippin bucks the line for 5 yds. Thorpe fumbles the ball; Shellenbarger breaks through, gets the ball, and scores the first touchdown of the game. Time 3 minutes. Shellenbarger kicks the goal. Kansas 6, Nebraska 0.
Thayer kicks 35 yds.; Harris carries the ball back 5. Shelly goes around the right end for 12 yds.; a fumble loses this gain and the ball. Nebraska now takes a brace and plays ball. By regular gains by the backs and right tackle, Nebraska gets the ball dangerously near our
goal. The full-bach is sent through the center, scoring the first touch-down for Nebraska Time 7 min. Fair fails to kick goal, leaving Kansas in the lead. Kansas 6, Nebraska 4.
Hester kicks 40 yds.; Flippin fumbles but gets the ball. Yont loses 2 yds. for Nebraska, Foster tackling him behind the line. Nebraska makes but a small gain and the ball is passed back to Fair for a punt. Fair punts 15 yds.; Hill catches the ball. Kansas now has the ball. Shellenbarger makes a nice gain of 15 yds. around the right end, but loses the ball to Nebraska. Flippin gets through the line and makes a run of 30 yds.; Foster tackels well and thus prevents further gain on this run. Fair again punts, after Nebraska has failed to gain; Hester catches the ball. Kansas makes no gains; Hester punts 50 yds.; Foster tackles the Nebraska man so that he cannot return the ball. Nebraska makes short gains through and around the line; the ball is again passed back to Fair for a punt. Hester catches the ball and runs back 6 yds. Hester punts 40 yds. Flippin makes a small gain and Yont goes around the end for 40 yds., the longest run of the game. Nebraska bucks our line well, and Rern gets around the left end and scores a touch-down. Time 13 min. Fair fails to kick goal. Kansas 6, Nebraska 8.
Hester kicks 40 yds.; Nebraska's full-back returns the ball 15. Both teams resort to punting, and the ball passes back and forth. Time is called for the first half with the ball at the center of the field.
SECOND HALF.
Nebraska has the west goal and the ball. Fair kicks 30 yds.; Pope returns 17. Kansas has the ball, but makes short gains. The ball is passed to Hester, who punts 30 yds.; Nebraska's ball. Nebraska makes two plays with no gain; Fair punts 30 yds.; the ball is carried back 15 by Hester. Steinberg makes a nice run around the right end for 25 yds. Small gains by Harris and Wilson. Shellenbarger goes around right end for 17 yds. Kansas can make no further gains and the ball goes to Nebraska on downs. Nebraska gets the ball in Kansas territory by playing the backs. Kan-

sas takes a brace and holds Nebraska. Fair punts 30 yds. Foster goes around left end for 8 yds. Steinberger, Shellenbarger, and Wilson make short gains. In a scrimmage Stone is hurt and Walker goes in at center. Hester punts 35 yds.; Flippin carries the ball back 6. Nebraska now has the ball, and seem to have made up their minds to score another touch-down. The backs carry the ball well into Kansas territory. Assisted by 10 yds. from an off-side play, the ball again approaches Kansas' goal. Flippin is pushed over the line, scoring the touch-down which makes the result a sure thing for Nebraska. Time 14 min. Fair again fails to kick an easy goal. Kansas 6, Nebraska 12.
With only a few minutes to play the crimson boys go in to tie the score if possible. Hester kicks well, the ball going 40 yds. into Nebraska's territory. Much time is wasted and it is rapidly getting dark. Kansas has but a ghost of a show to score; they play hard, but cannot score. Time is called with the ball 25 yds. in Nebraska's territory.
This ends the game. The Nebraska boys go wild over the result, and Flippin leaves the field the hero of the day.
It might be well to mention the fact that Mr. Robinson, the referee, Missouri's man, figured quite prominently in the game, his work being a little partial.
The Betas Triumphant.
Society circles of the University enjoyed a rare treat at the McCook field last Saturday when the Phi Psi-Beta football game was played. Verbal invitations had been given by the Phi Psis to all the youth, beauty and fashion of the city, and they were very generally accepted. All society was on the qui vive.
Both teams had trained faithfully for two weeks. The Betas, under the able coaching of C. Waterman Stone, abstained from the excessive use of larup and unsalutary aliment. The use of Bass ale being prohibited by Chaplain Bowker, Hire's Root Beer was most successfully substituted.
The special feature of their coaching was the nocturnal practice on the lawn, where clad in ary robes de nuit they passed the pillow from hand to hand in execution of the tandum, the criss-cross and the fool-'em. The Phi Psis pinned their faith on the ability and skill of one J. Oliver Shiras, of Ottawa. So implicit was their obedience to his commands that for a fortnight the non-use of cigarettes, Yucatan and popcorn was strictly adhered to. The training diet recommended by him, Mellen's Infant Food, was devoured with cheerfulness and alacrity.
Practice with the High School team was indulged in to a limited extent, but owing to the rude play of that team, it was discontinued.
The gala day arrived. Promptly at 9 a.m. the Phi Psis, dignified and stately, stepped upon the field. Closely following came the Betas. The appearance of the teams was the signal for vociferous and prolonged cheering from the vast assembly. From Victorias, drago and tally-hos, buck-boards, drays and push carts, the waving of flags and streamers, the fluttering of many colored ribbons gave life and brightness to the scene.
The rival teams lined up as follows:

Thomas...Q. B...Shiras
Alder...L. H. B...Alden
Hale...R. H. B...Hessin
Withington...F. B...Buchan
Bowker...Sub...Christopher
The game was opened by the Phi Psis, the kick-off by F. Butterworth Buchan for 50 yds. being a beauty. The pig skin was caught by Gopher Thomas and carried forward into Phi Psi territory and lo, a touch-down by Alder, Hale and Jay Withington, who walked calmly down the field seemingly oblivious to the fact that the entire Phi Psi frat. was clinging wildly to his back and vainly imploring him to stop.
But why proceed with the sad tale? Why prolong the history of this more than Waterloo defeat? In vain did Buchan kick his shin guards loose. In vain did Alden turn his nose

guard into a subsoil plow. Vain were the prayers of their female admirerers and the frantic rooting of Christopher. The glory of the Phi Psis had departed, and when the shrill shriek of the referee's whistle closed the combat the burly gladiators from Larup Lodge were the victors to the tune of 16 to 0.
Ollie Shiras wore a very becoming sweater.
Hokey's lip was very much in evidence after the game.
Freddy Buchan was very neat in a pair of shin-guards.
Jay Withington's hair was arranged in a Psyche knot.
Johnnie Watson's Kansas City interference was very fine.
Jack Hessin wore a fascinating smile and a Brownie pin.
Miller acted as manager and Adams as swipe for the Beta team.

Andy Ewart displayed a magnificant torso under his canvas jacket.
Dickie Bates wore a determined expression and his coat collar turned up.

The introduction by Smith of gaiters as a part of the costume of the gridiron was quite a brilliant innovation.
Mortie Snow was sweetly pretty in a noseguard. His courteous and lady-like demeanor was generally admired.
C. Irving Spellman's open-work Jersey was very becoming.His graceful attitudes made him the cynosure of all eyes.
Jean Alder, leader for the Betas, introduced several new figures which will no doubt be very popular at the germans this winter.
The grandama's head-dress worn by Maurice Alden caused many to think that he had mistaken the occasion for an old folks' concert.

All students of the University and members of the faculty are cordially invited to be present.
The COURIER-REVIEW desires to call the attention of all students in the School of Arts to the importance of the pronouncing contest for which the Language Conference is making arrangements. No subject is of more general importance to us than the art of correctly pronouncing the English language, yet it is grieviously neglected by many of our students. The
Language Conference has devised a plan for creating an interest in this subject and is providing means for giving this interest a practical and profitable direction and application. It is to be hoped that no student will be found too busy or too indifferent to become interested in this matter, at least to the extent of entering the contests. No one can possibly fail to get a full return for every minute devoted to this work. As an extra incentive to undertake the work the committee having arrangements in hand offer a series of prizes of considerable value to any student. The books which will be used to select all words from for use in the contests can now be had at all the city book stores, Phyf's "Seven Thousand Words often mispronounced." Provide yourself with a copy and go to work.

Language Conference.
At the last meeting of the Language Conference a paper on the "Philoctetes" of Sophocles was presented by Mr. A. B. Bates. The play is founded on the incident of the bow and arrows of Heracles. They were given to Philoctetes to guard. While they remained in his possession Troy could not fall. The incident has been used by Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides. Sophocles diverges from the story. The play opens with the landing of Oddyseus and Neoptolemus upon the lonely coast of Lemnos. In Neoptolemus there are two opposing impulses; his conscience and pity for the wretched man Philoctetes driving him one way, and his supposed duty to the Greeks another. Even after the bow and arrows have been entrusted to the care of Neoptolemus by the unspecting Philoctetes in a paroxysm of pain, Neoptolemus wavers and is about to return them, but the crafty Oddyseus restrains him. The deus ex machina is skillfully introduced when Heracles appears and decides the affairs.
Prof. Wilcox spoke of the craft and cunning of Ulysses here portrayed, the type having been degraded from Homer to the Attic Greek.
Prof. Carruth gave "Some English Parallels

to German Construction." English students of German notice the arbitrary and artificial constructions, but these are present in English and familiar from youth. In English there is precisely the same existence of separable prefixes, the inversion of verb and subject. In German the most common separable prefixes are unter and über. These correspond to the English under and over. In German, when separable, the accent falls on the prefix and gives a literal meaning; when inseparable, the meaning is generally figurative. In the matter of position, the German prefix belongs at the end of the clause; the English separable prefix must follow the pronoun object. Many perfect tenses in English may have the participle after the object, as "I have my exercise written;" and quite a number of adverbial elements may come before the past participle. In the case of inversion, the verb precedes the subject in all negative and privitative expressions; any adjective and predicate put first require an inverted construction.
UNIVERSITY LECTURE AND MUSICAL COURSE.
Change of Date for First Attraction.
A few days ago the attention of the management of the University Lecture and Musical Course was called to the fact that the date for the first entertainment of the course, the Moody Male Quartette, which had been booked for Saturday, Dec. 1st, fell during the Thanksgiving vacation, and would in consequence prevent a large number of students, who would be out of the city at that time, from attending. We are glad to be able to announce now, however, that the date has been changed to Wednesday, Dec. 5th, which is better for everybody concerned. This organization comes very highly recommended, and is a fitting opening attraction for the course. Those who have not yet purchased course tickets should do so at once.
Many times during the season will outside entertainments of a similar character to those included in the course be presented to the Lawrence public, and in a majority of these instances arrangements will be made so that holders of the University Lecture Course tickets will be entitled to an especial low price of admission.
The last 100 tickets are now selling.
MUSIC HALL ECHOES.

The Faculty Concert is the next event of the season. It will be held next Monday evening.
Miss Bernice Costello will appear at Music Hall in a varied and interesting elocutionary program next Saturday eve. Tickets on sale at the Santa Fe office. Price, 35 cents.
We are looking forward to the Physical Culture Exhibition, to be given by Mrs. Clark's pupils sometime after Thanksgiving. The class at Music Hall will assist in the exercise of Indian club swinging. But more of this later.
Our fourth students' recital was given Wednesday, and was made particularly interesting by the kind assistance of Mrs. Crane, who sang Rpbyn's dainty little song "Answer" in a most charming manner. Prof. Farrel played the violin obligato, and later a solo. Each of these programs seem to vie with the last in choiceness of selection, and did space permit I would like to comment on the rendering of each number, as our students never fail to uphold the credit of the school. We wish there might be a larger audience.
SOCIETY NOTES.
There were several students at the masquerade ball Monday night striving for a B. S. (not the degree).

people were not supposed to care for luxuries. Now the day laborer enjoys more luxury than the Plantagenets dreamed of having, and they were thought to have corralled every pleasure.
There is no reason why everyone should not take short or long trips over the ever-popular, ever-ready and ever-improving SANTA FE ROUTE. It costs no more to ride in luxury in one of our fine coaches day car, chair car, or Pullman-on quick time and safe track, than if you went by other blowing-whistling-backing-and-sudden-stopping trains.

EVERY STUDENT should become the member of some literary society or similar organization in which he may acquire the art of speaking and familiarize himself with parliamentary practice.
It is not how much we do, but how well we perform the duties assigned us, that exhibits the amount of earnestness we throw into life. The world is wise enough to recognize the faithful men; and its better judgment compels it to ignore the fickle one. Shakespeare well says: "Experience is by industry achieved, and perfected by the swift course of Time."
ALTHOUGH NO longer in the days of our early childhood, some of us still "tell teacher" We are directly and strongly opposed to any unworthy conduct ourselves; but we trust that we are not so lost to all sense of honor as to tattle to the powers that be, hoping
thereby to secure a "stand-in" that cannot be obtained in any other way. If any of our students have been guilty of disgraceful or shameful conduct, we deplore the fact; but much more do we regret that there are among us creatures so contemptible as to play the part of spys upon their fellows. One that willfully betrays another should be marked with a scarlet letter as a warning to all honest and decent people, that they might shun him for all time. No disgrace could be too great for such cowards.
To be able to express one's thoughts upon any subject at all times naturally and intelligently is a gift much to be coveted, but is singularly rare among college students simply be cause they do not cultivate it as they ought. In some who seem to have brilliant talents for learning, the gift lies dormant through a seeming lack of personal interest in one's highest attainments. Others are hindred in its development through timidity and self consciousness. But in what line of progress are there not obstacles to be mounted or barriers to be burned away? Public speaking is an art and can be made easy and natural by much practice. To this end are there societies organized. Yet there are many, especially among the ladies, who do not avail themselves of the drill and practice that these offer. Some will soon leave the University halls as graduates and will be expected to be leaders in conventions or in literary entertainments in the communities in which they live. They will then feel the need of fluent speech, and naturally enough will blame the University for what is their own egregious fault. No amount of work upon the University course can be a substitute for the work of the literary organization.

THE M. S. U. TIGERS TAMED.
The 'Varsity Wins the Great Thanksgiving Game by Superior Play.
Truly a great game! As was expected both teams were in first-class condition, and the struggle for supremacy between Kansas and Missouri on the gridiron was one which will not soon be forgotten by those who were fortunate enough to see the game. Probably nearly six thousand braved the cold, and watched intensely the fight between the two rival universities, representing two rival states, thus spreading the feeling among the citizens of the two states, not closely connected with either institution. All Kansas City seemed to be wearing either the "crimson" of Kansas or the "black and gold" of old Missouri—man, woman and child alike. For almost an hour and a half twenty-two sturdy, strong and, above all, determined men fought the battle on the gridiron as though the result of this game would influence much the better part of their lives. The old man was there, showing a feeling which had become almost a stranger to him, so long had it been since he was a boy, but in cheering "old Missouri" or "rooting" for the crimson of the Jay Hawk state he was a boy again. The small boy with his tin horn; the pretty girl surrounded by the crowd whose colors she was wearing-every class and condition ready to do all in their power to make "their boys" win this annual contest which has now become the event of the season in foot-ball circles.
The Missouri team accompanied by about one hundred wearers of the "old gold and black," representing the advance guard of some four hundred or more, arrived in Kansas City. With the air ringing with "Tiger! Tiger! M. S.U.!" the crowd proceeded to the Midland. Long before the team reached the hotel, the lobby was all astir and all eyes turned towards door. The team soon retired so as to rest for the struggle to take place on the morrow.
in the city by special train on Thursday morning. The people were again treated to a demonstration of college spirit which was kept up the remainder of the day. The morning was spent in discussing the game. At 3 o'clock the teams lined up as follows:

The boys from Missouri were the first to appear on the field, and a good appearance did they make. They were greeted with cheers from the throats of some thousand or more. The Jay Hawk boys soon followed. The "crimson" was well upheld and the "Rock Chalk" of old K.U. was given with a will.
Missouri won the toss, taking the north goal and giving Kansas the ball. Hester, as usual, does the kicking for Kansas. He steps forward and the ball goes into Missouri's territory 35 yards. Evans catches the ball and carries it back 15 yards. Missouri has the ball, makes three short gains, and the ball goes to K. U. on a fumble. Kansas makes 20 yards on gains by Shellenbarger and Wilson, when the ball goes to Missouri on a fumble. Latimer, Connover and Allee make short gains through the line, when Allee takes the ball behind the interference and gains 15 yards by the play. Missouri backs now play fast ball, and on five plays the ball goes into Kansas territory. Missouri is now playing the game of her life and seems to find a short gain on every play. Short gains are made by Connelly and Young, when Connover goes around the left end for 20

Hester kicks 40 yards; Evans carries the ball back 15 yards. Kansas gets the ball on a fumble by Evans. Shellenbarger goes around the right end for 2 yards. Hester follows with a short gain. Now comes the most important and best run of the game, the run which brought forth the Kansas yell from the throats of thousands. Steinberger takes the ball around the right end, makes a beautiful run of 35 yards, scoring the first touch down for Kansas. Shellenbarger fails to kick a difficult goal. M. U. 8, K. U. 4. Time of touchdown 2 minutes.

Hill goes back to full, Shellenbarger to quarter; on a bluff punt Hill goes around left end for a gain of 12 yards; Steinberger goes around right end for 17 yards. Wilson, Shellenbarger and Hester by a number of plays advance the ball 25 yards. Steinberger goes around the right end for 20 yards; Wilson bucks the line for 14 yards. Hester, Wilson and Shellenbarger advance the ball
until it is within 8 yards of the Missouri line. Wilson breaks through the line, scoring the touch down which ties the score. Shellenbarger fails to kick goal. M. U. 8, K. U. 8.
SECOND HALF.
Kansas has the north goal, Missouri the ball. Evans kicks 25 yards; Hill carries the ball back 20 yards. Kansas has the ball at center of field and now makes short gains, when the ball goes to Missouri on a fumble. Missouri plays her backs for small gains, aided by 5 yards for off-side play. The ball goes into Kansas territory. Evans fumbles, but Hill falls on the ball. Young goes around the right end for 30 yards, scoring a touch down. Hill fails to kick goal. M. U. 12, K. U. 8.
Hester kicks 50 yards; Evans carries the ball back 10 yards. Allee bucks the line for 8 Missouri soon loses the ball to Kansas on downs. Kansas now makes steady gains, the ball constantly getting nearer Missouri's line. Shellenbarger goes through the line for 8 yards, scoring a touch down and tieing the score. Shellenbarger fails to kick goal. M. U. 12, K. U. 12.
Evans kicks 20 yards; Griffiths carries the ball back 5 yards. Steinberger again makes a long run around the right end, this time advancing the ball 20 yards. Shellenbarger attempts a criss-cross, but fails. Steinberger gets around the right end for 15 yards. Wilson, Shellenbarger and Hester all make gains and the ball is at Missouri 35 yard line. Piatt makes a hole through Missouri's center and Wilson gets through for a 35 yard gain and scores a touch down. Shellenbarger at last kicks goal. K.U.18,M.U.12.
After a short squabble play is resumed. Evans kicks 40 yards, but Hester carries it back 20 yards. The 'Varsity slowly forces the ball into Missouri territory. Piatt makes two pretty runs for 8 and 10 yards each. Shellenbarger and Wilson make repeated gains. But it is getting so dark that playing is well nigh impossible. The ball is passed to Steinberger who makes another of his star plays, passing the ball, as he is tackled, back to Hester who

goes on with the ball for a good gain. Piatt goes through the center for two gains of 5 yards each. The game is now called by mutual agreement, with the ball on Missouri's 5 yard line; there is still two minutes of play left. Thus ended the greatest game of the season with the final score of K.U.18,M.U.12.
Notes of the Game.
Steinberger again reigns King.
Even Sam Usher had no kick coming.
Everybody was intoxicated with joy only.
Now for Leland Stanford and the trip to the coast.
"If we didt't win the penant, we at least beat Mo."
Freddie Mac was all smiles, as Judas like he carried the bag.
Oh, how sorry are those that stayed at home just for turkeys sake.
Sal shook his tawny lionine mane in the tigers face and it was vanquished.
Stone and Armor were the only two disconsolates, and even they got over it.
Chancellor Snow executed a pas de seul in the center of the field after the game.
All evil-minded and mischief makers were blindfolded coming home on the train.
Piatt took inspiration, or something else, and played in his old form, tearing large chunks out of the Mo. line.
Williamson felt like he had lost his halo,but comforted himself with the thought of his coaching so well displayed.
The longest run of the game was made by Treasurer Moody, just at the end, from Missouri's 5 yard line clear to the ticket office.
Coach Cowan after the game slapped his 42 inch tarso and said, thus is the game I have been waiting for all the time, thus am I vindicated.
The cheering at the Coates House made even Father Time wave his hand and smile, one exhilerated enthusiast said when he looked at the clock in the lobby.
"Jimmy" Green couldn't quite manage to shake hands with all the boys at once, so shook hands with himself and kicked up his heels.
Manager Baird of the Coates House didn't object to "Rock chalk" as the last course at dinner, especially as the other guests seemed to relish it as prepared by our team.
Missouri was so thankful for darkness, and "as kindly night dropped her curtains down" over their sore defeated tcem they sighed long and piteously and slunk from the feld. Their tiger skins so shining and glossy in the early afternoon were now dirty and torn,their heads held so high in proud confidence were sunk low. Alas, how the mighty in their own conceit are fallen.
Mysterious Disappearance of a Number of University Students.
The citizens of Lawrence and the students of the University of Kansas were very much shocked and surprised at the report that the eleven young men, who had so nobly defended the colors of Beta Theta Pi fraternity on the gridiron last Saturday, had very suddenly and mysteriously disappeared. At first this report received but little attention, and from the start was thought to be a huge joke, but on the failure to locate these same students after a close and systematic search, the people became worried, parties were organixed to hunt for the missing, all trains were watched, but to no avail, not even a line was left behind, by Spellman, to inform the public as to the future whereabouts of the Beta football team. Probably the most perplexed person in the University is Chaplain Bowker; the idea that his brothers should leave without his blessing, his word of condolence, and his fatherly and ministerial advice, was more than he could stand. As a result of this lack of feeling, Bowker is sick and is unable to attend to his social duties. More might be said in regard to these young men; as to their character, their good reputation, their ability as students, and above all their love for their home; but who can tell, perhaps ere long the "varsity" will receive a challenge from some "unknowns," the game

be played, resulting in a defeat for the "var sity," and who can tell but that these same Betas shall constitute this team—they must have something to heal the wounds in their hurt pride.
As to the "Sports" the men who are the cause of all this trouble and consternation in the ranks of the Betas, they are still among the living, with possibly the exception of their trainer, coach and swipe, Jack Morgan by name, as a trainer a fiend. It is believed that this individual has been transferred to other regions by the Betas, for to him do they place their defeat—his splendid coaching and training without doubt having much to do with the victory for the "purple and gold," even during the game his word was law, in vain did Penfield and Chamberlain call for more, but a few drops was all they could have—even Frost wanted a taste, for what reason no one knows for his playing was done during the preceding week. It is the sincere and earnest wish of all that the "Sports" now rest on their laurels, call themselves champions, and forever hold their peace.
After the brief discussion of the results, it is found to be a necessity to take up the cause.
For the past ten days the bulletin boards have been ornamented with articles, pictures, agreements, referring to the game of football between the Phi Gams and the Betas. The local newspapers had also been informed of the approaching event and through their columns the citizens of Lawrence and surrounding hamlets were notified. Long before the hour for the game, long lines of people might have been seen going towards the battle field, the streets leading up to the grounds presented rather a gala day appearane; the colors, the swell turnouts, the many fair admirers of both teams, all blending together made a beautiful picture. The Yale-Harvard game of the west in our midst. The Betas, lead by the "Count" and Poe Thomas, were the first to appear before the vast crowd—their confident manner assuring the wearers of the "pink and blue" that their team would be the victors. A few minutes later the Phi Gam yell was heard and with a firm step and determined faces the
heroes of unfought battles marched on the field, closely followed by the "swipe," Prof. Morgan. The ball is placed at the center of the field by Chaplain Bowker, the referee blows his whistle, and the ball flys well into Phi Gam territory. Like hungry wolves following marked victims, the Betas hurl themselves down the field, paying no attention to the pleadings of Alder and Smith, begging them not to run so fast for they were losing their breath. How they did caress the coveted pigskin, never once wanting to to let it leave their hands; but the Phi Gams persuaded the little sphere to desert its old friends and try some new ones, however it complained of its treatment by the Phi Gams so soon returned to its first love. Hale seems to appreciate the action of the little thing and is going to do something to repay it for its kindness. With the entire opposing team on his back he fairly carried them over the goal line, scoring a touchdown for the Betas. Beta "larup" was then in demand, Stone was surrounded by a vast crowd begging him to divulge the secret of his training and the composition of the famous larup. The ball is again placed at the center of the field, this time Chamberlain kicks and the ball goes well into Beta territory. Something has happened, the Phi Gams have taken some action for no longer do the Betas go through line and no more to the Betas break up the interference of the "Sports" the tables are turned and the Phi Gams score a touchdown. The ball is held for a kick for goal, it is turned around, held sideways, and placed in numerous position, finally Fletcher gives the word, steps forward, but lo, his kick is a fault, the Betas cheer and the score stands 6 to 4 in favor of the boys who had been living on "larup" and good advice. The second half was but a repetition of the latter part of the first. The Phi Gams having the Betas bluffed, and on a piece of strategy from which they expected to derive much benefit, the Phi Gams secured a touchdown and win the game.
Truly a hard thing for the Betas, in the latter part of the second half the different Betas not closely connected with the game, left one by one to fill some important engagement.

At the instigation of the most pious member of the Phi Gams, at their meeting Sunday afternoon, the fraternity essayed to sing some sacred songs, after a brief consultation it was decided that all knew the Doxology. When they had sung three lines the whole Frat got off on "Way down yonder in the cornfield."
Among the most enjoyable events of the week was a "tube party" given "down on Kentucky street." The principal feature was a long tube kindly loaned by the pharmacy department, this was inserted in "a hole," and the guests imbibed the nectar of the absent host. It was a most unique and pleasing afiair.
Jim harding and Garrett went hunting Monday. A few features of the day's sport were: a mile sneak on hands and knees to get a shot at some decoys, Garrett getting lost, chiggers, and an attempt by electrician Harding to install an equipment of lightning rods for a farmer while Garrett made a coup d' etate on the "hennery."
The "anti thin" association will be incorporated soon. The idea is to have something to eat every two weeks. As genuine porter house steaks are as scarce as diamonds in Lawrence, there will be a committee appointed to procure them after having been duly satisfied by the butchers under affidavit and tested by some reputable jeweler or other person. "Sure'nough coffee" will also be a feature. This will be served regularly once every two weeks at some down-town restaurant. For membership see A. E. Moody or this office.
Meeting of the "Non-Ringsters."
The committee to obtain designs and select a suitable emblem and pin for the students of the University have held several meetings and partially decided on one of the numerous designs submitted. But will not give it final decision until next week in order that everybody may have a chance to express themselves on this important subject. New designs may be left with Mr. Moody at the office or given to any member of the committee, Prof. Cowan, Spellman, Mitchell, Owen, Winn, and
Armour. For the benefit of some who have been misinformed we would say, that we are not working in opposition to the committee elected by the ring element in University politics, but are simply working to get a pin satisfactory to all elements regardless of "Frats" or "Barbs" politics or no politics. And we can not but feel flattered by the response with which our call for designs has been met. Indeed we have not found it necessary to offer a five dollar prize for what any student should consider it both a pleasure and an honor to design. Next week we will give the design selected and a list of those submitted.
A New Society.
The A. P. A's. (Anti-Prune Ass'n) have secured a charter from the Alpha chapter and have been formally organized. The officers are Troxel, Prentice, Clark, and Chamberlain. The badge of the order is a galvanized iron prune attached to the lapel of the coat and the hail is a pat on the stomach with the left hand accompanied by a negative shake of the head. The object of the association is to discourage the use of prunes in Lawrence boarding houses and clubs. At a late hour last night they were debating on the advisability of adding dried apples and liver to the black list.
The Moody Quartette is All Right.
The Moody Male Quartette, the opening attraction of the University Lecture and Musical course, sang in Emporia Monday evening. For the benefit of those who may feel that this is the least important entertainment of the course, we quote the following from Tuesday's Emporia Republican:
"One of the best things in a musical way that Emporia has enjoyed for some time was the concert at the Whitley last night by the Moody quartette, of Chicago. There was a large audience and some idea of its appreciation of the performance may be had from the fact that the printed program was more than doubled by encores. The quartette is made up as follows: R. J. McDowell, first tenor; C. J. Davis, second tenor; R. S. Goldsbury, first base and impersonator; P. W. Goldsbury, second base. They have voices of remarkable

clearness and beauty. Their power is as nearly equalized as it is possible for four voices to be, and blend almost perfectly. The college songs and medley were received with a storm of applause and the quartette was called back again and again. The tenor solos by Messrs. McDowell and Davis were popular features, as was the base solo by Mr. P. W. Goldsbury. 'The Holy City,' by Mr. McDowell was especially fine. Mr. R. S. Goldsbury's impersonations were well rendered and favorably received. The closing number, 'Remember Now Thy Creator,' by the quartette was one of the best of the evening."
The Moody Quartette will sing in Lawrence next Wednesday evening, December 5th, at the opera house. Seats may be obtained by holders of course tickets Monday, and will be on sale to the general public Tuesday. Price 50 cents each. A few course tickets still remain at $2 each.
Theta Open Meeting.
Saturday afternoon the young ladies of Kappa Alpha Theta with a number of guests met at the home of Miss Edith Clarke. Mrs.W.H. Carruth read a paper recently given in Kansas City before the Association of Collegiate Alumnae, "An hour with Hans Sachs." Before beginning her paper, Mrs. Carruth spoke very tenderly of one whom she missed from the circle—Marcella Howland. Mrs. Carruth took her hears back four centuries to the old town of Nuremburg, the home of Hans Sachs. Some extracts from the drama "The Unlike Children of Eve," and other writings were given to illustrate the style of the cobbler-poet.
Refreshments were served and all went away deeply indebted to Mrs. Carruth for an afternoon delightfully spent.
Language Conference.
Last Friday afternoon Prof. D. H. Robinson gave a paper on "Woman's Rights in Ancient Rome." By woman's rights suffrage is not meant, probably the Roman matron did not seek the right to vote. By the term rights is meant the claims a woman might have before the state. In early times Italy was a place of pure homes where woman reigned supreme. Her children and husband addressed her as
domina or lady; she was not restricted to one part of the house as Greek women were. She might entertain her husband's guests, attend games and theatrical representations. She might appear in court but not as a lawyer to plead a case. If she were of noble birth, she might have funeral rights and an oration the same as a consul. Good government today is due to the clear-headed men from these pure homes presided over by these women.
If, in the Roman ceremony of marriage, the wife were not under the authority of her husband, she was still a member of her father's family and might inherit from her father, otherwise she was not regarded as a relative and might not inherit. In early times the ceremony of marriage was a purchase and the wife was practically a slave. Later a form of solemn religious ceremony was adopted something like a high church wedding and a barbacue. But the Roman woman found she was in about the same condition as under the form of purchase. Then the ceremony became a simple agreement to live together as long as both lived. The wife remained in her father's power, although the husband might gain possession of her by an injunction. However this seldom happened. In a free marriage the wife's property remained her own. Husband and wife could not make gifts to each other, nor could they steal from each other. Divorce was granted on the application of either party or both. Divorce became fashionable under the Christian Emperor. Justinian made the dower inalienable, the wife's claim being a first lien on everything.
An unmarried woman must have had a good time. If she were not under a man's control she could do as she pleased. If she made a bad bargain she might plead ignorance of the law and regain her property. Under the Emperor Hadrian only married women had the right to make wills. The laws seemed to favor second marriages of divorced persons, but to discountenance that of widows and widowers. If a widow married within a year she lost the property of the first marriage and became legally an infant. On the whole the Roman

women arrived at a degree of liberty that compares favorably with that of the women of America today.
Prof. Wilcox then said that at one time the women of Sparta were in possession of all the property.
Mr. John H. Henderson read: "Is there Humor in Puritan Literature?" However broad a definition may be used, the element of humor is debarred from the writings of the Puritans. Emphatically there is no humor in Puritan literature. Passages to support the views advanced were given.
In the discussion following, some objections were made to the conclusion reached.

SANTA FE
ROUTE
WHEN KINGS
& BARONS RULED
people were not supposed to care for luxuries. Now the day laborer enjoys more luxury than the Plantagenets dreamed of having, and they were thought to have corralled every pleasure,
There is no reason why everyone should not take short or long trips over the ever-popular, ever-ready and ever-improving SANTA FE ROUTE. It costs no more to ride in luxury in one of our fine coaches day car, chair car, or Pullman-on quick time and safe track, than if you went by other blowing-whistling-backing-and-sudden-stopping trains.
You will realize this should you take the Santa Fe Route to California. When it is cool or cold in the East, is the right time to see the California summer land.
Our handsomely illustrated book, "To California and Back," tells the story.
