Entered at Lawrence postoffice as second-class matter. It is a great pleasure, and at the same time a great relief, to give our waiting friends the first issue of the great Weekly. We assure you it has been no easy task to organize and issue a new paper at this time of the school year, when everyone from professor down to freshman is engaged in a mad race against time with commencement as the goal. For this reason we have not attempted to make our first number a souvenir edition, surpassing all previous attempts and beyond the hope of future imitation, but we have simply brought forth such a paper as we shall issue every week next year, except that several departments are not represented here which will be regular features of succeeding issues. One department which we desire especially to promote will be devoted to the Alumni, and whenever any of them think of anything which will amuse, interest or instruct their younger brothers and sisters, or whenever they do anything which the world ought to know or would like to know, we hope they will write to us or have some one write for them without waiting for a direct personal request. To our Alumni at other universities, we make a special appeal for letters about current events, about the institutions, about the writers themselves, about any matter of interest, or about no matter at all, if they are talented enough to write on such a subject in an interesting manner. To our local patrons we extend greetings and we hope you will find the Weekly worthy of your support. "If you like our goods tell your friends; if you don't like them, tell us." If you have any criticisms or suggestions to offer, come to us at once and don't be afraid of hurting our feelings, for we have none to be hurt. And if you ever experience the divine touch of inspiration, if you have written a poem, a sketch or a story, which your friends say shows unmistakable signs of genius, be kind enough to send it post-haste (and post-paid) to the literary editor. It may be the means of introducing you to immediate success and fame! To the advertisers we would say: you have now what you have long been asking—a single University paper, in which all interests are united and which has the support of the whole University, students and faculty alike. The desired end has been accomplished by the organization of a new company and a new paper, with a new name and new officers, governed by a new constitution under which everyone may obtain fair and equitable representation. By this arrangement no faction labors under the embarrassment of yielding to a rival, no one can complain of unfairness and no one in the University has any valid excuse for refusing his support. An advertisement placed in this paper will be read by everyone connected with the University. And if you have any doubt as to the truth or sincerity of our statements just read the circular letter signed by Chancellor Snow and Prof. Carruth, which we print in another column. Our managing editor, Mr. Patten, will be glad to show you the original. 请北京对外文化交流中心联系 2 Kansas University Weekly. LITERARY. A Tragedy of Long's Peak. "I tell you, Miss Raymond, you will endanger the guide's life as well as your own if you persist in making the assent so late in the season," remonstrated the proprietor of L. ranch, frowning impatiently at the young woman who confronted him, unyielding determination in every line of her face. "That is his affair and not mine," she answered coldly. "He has agreed to take me up and we shall start this afternoon. It is useless for you to try to dissuade me. Please have the luncheon put up at once, Mr. Sprague." Turning to the window, she looked long and wistfully at the range of snow-capped mountains, above which towered Long's Peak, the Mecca of her proposed pilgrimage, half hidden from view by shifting purple vapors. After a moment of silence she turned again to Mr. Sprague, saying half apologetically:— "You know papa pays me ten dollars for every mountain I climb. And besides, every one tells me that the view from the top is beautiful. So you see, 'laughingly,' it is from a desire to gratify my aesthetic nature, as well as from mercenary motives, that I am about to venture on what it pleases you to call a 'fool-hardy undertaking.'" Mr. Sprague shook his head dubiously, but refrained from further remonstrances. Despite her rather alarming disinclination to heed the advice frequently proffered her, Alice Raymond was a charming young woman, and, during her short stay at the ranch, she had contrived by many winning arts to endear herself to all with whom she came in contact. When, therefore, one day early in September, she declared her intention of climbing Long's Peak. Mr. Sprague was greatly troubled, realizing as he did the danger of being caught on the bleak mountain top in one of the snow storms so frequent at that season of the year. Finding all remonstrances quite useless, he was obliged to content himself with giving minute directions to the guide, a sturdy young fellow of fine physique, generally considered the most trustworthy guide in Estes Park. Having received a little really good advice, which she forgot, and a great deal of advice, all of which she remembered, Miss Raymond set out on foot with her guide, early in the afternoon of the tenth of September, 18. By nightfall they reached timber line, where they passed the night, lulled to sleep by the murmurs of a foaming mountain torrent, and the mournful voice of the wind among the pines. Before sunrise the next morning they were on their way again, and an hour's climb brought them to Boulder Field, a vast inclined plane covered with huge rocks. Here began the real difficulties of the ascent. Miss Raymond sprang lightly from rock to rock, without deigning to accept any assistance from the guide. When Boulder Field had been left behind and they had passed through the keyhole, a jagged, irregular opening in a wall of rock, the guide scanned the horizon with troubled intentness. "I think we ought to go back," he said at last. "I don't like the looks of those clouds. A great many people think this view finer than the one from the top, so you won't miss so very much." With her eyes still fixed on a lovely green lake in the valley many thousand feet below them, Miss Raymond answered abstractedly:— "You may go back if you want to. I shall go on." She never for a moment entertained the idea of turning back. The guide started on without another word. The path which they now followed extended along a narrow ledge of rock, often obstructed by loose boulders. A single misstep meant instant death. Miss Raymond went steadily --- Kansas University Weekly. 3 on, but her face grew whiter and whiter and the guide felt her hand tremble in his own. At last she paused out of breath, at the foot of an almost perpendicular wall of rock, seamed with many crevices. "How much farther, is it"? she asked in a voice scarcely audible above the rising wind. "We have only to climb this wall and we are there" the most dangerous and difficult part of the ascent. In spite of her labored breath and the sharp pain over her heart recurring at frequent intervals, she managed to scale the wall and stood at last, her loosened hair streaming in the wind, on the summit of the highest mountain in Colorado. She drew a deep breath of unspeakable delight. "Isn't it beautiful"? she cried. The guide began indicating the various points of interest. "Over there is Sheep mountain—you remember passing it, don't you?and that is Flat Top and that—" He stopped suddenly. Miss Raymond had fainted. Meanwhile the sky had become overcast with leaden gray clouds, the wind was rising, and as the guide bent anxiously over the unconscious girl he felt a soft, cold touch on his cheek. It was a flake of snow. When at last Miss Raymond opened her languid blue eyes the guide, quite beside him himself, shook her roughly, exclaiming:— "Come! Come! We must start back at once. It is beginning to snow." "I cannot take another step" she said faintly. "My heart—the altitude—I—" "But you must"! cried the guide despairingly. Miss Raymond shook her head. There was a moment of silence. "Then I shall have to carry you" said the guide, almost as pale as she. He lifted her in his arms and began the descent. How he managed to get down no one knows. The icy wind blew in his face; the whirling snow blinded him and made the path slippery and hence doubly dangerous. Once a boulder rolled from under his feet and went crashing down into the bottomless chasm below. Blinded, panting and benumbed with cold he staggered on until he was utterly exhausted. He knew that if he tried to carry her farther both would perish. The only thing to do was to leave her and hurry on for help. He had reached Boulder Field and the distance yet to be traversed was not so very great. Placing his unconscious burden on the sheltered side of a rock, he wrapped her securely in his overcoat, and started on a run down the mountain side. Several times he seemed to hear a piteous voice call after him: “Come back! Come back”! "It is only the wind," he said to himself and hurried on. When Miss Raymond regained consciousness, a storm was raging over the desolate mountain. The north wind, blowing across the naked peaks, chilled her with its icy breath and stung her cheek with its flail of snow. Through the gathering darkness two gleaming eyes peered at her a moment, and then a gaunt form slunk across the mountain side. The fine snow, driven before a furious wind, hurled itself relentlessly against the bleak mountain, heaping itself in the wind swept gorges in ever deepening drifts. The brief, gray twilight gave way to sinister night. No longer able to see the whirling snow or feel its cold touch on her numbed face and fingers, she listened despairingly to the funeral chant of the wind., oppressed by the utter desolation which encompassed her. It was her own requiem to which she was listening and the white snow, fine as frozen sea foam, was her winding sheet. Never a bride had a lovelier robe than this; never a queen had a drearier dirge chanted over her grave. These were thoughts which tortured her bewildered brain. Suddenly, a blind rage against fate took possession of her. She could not die; she was too young; only old people ought to die. She flung from her the overcoat in which the guide had wrapped her so carefully and ran sobbing down the mountain side. No, she would not die, she thought fiercely in her delirium. The next moment she stumbled and fell heavily, her head striking on 4 Kansas University Weekly. the jagged edge of a rock. The wind blew her fair hair over the cruel gash; the snow drank up the blood which flowed slowly, drop by drop. When the guide came back with two men from the ranch, he found her dead and half-covered by the drifted snow. They buried her there on the mountain, tenderly straightening the rigid limbs and closing the blue eyes still full of piteous appeal. On her grave was placed a wooden headboard, bearing her name and the date of her death. In summer time many tourists stare curiously at the rudely carved inscription, and listen in wondering silence to the story told by the guide. But when winter comes the mountain is free from all intruders. Then the great winds sing in unison a mournful miserere; the gray wolf slinks across the grayer rocks and on a lonely grave, marked by a simple headboard, lie the fairy flowers of the snow. G. H. B. ATHLETICS. K. U. vs. Haskell. The third game between the Haskell Institute boys and the K. U. team, on Saturday last, clearly demonstrated that the Indians are outclassed by the University team. They won the first game early in the season, and almost before the K. U. boys had become acquainted with one another. The second and third games have been easy victories for our team. This does not belittle the Haskell boys who are a splendid lot of ball players, and in the past have been able to hold their own against the University teams. It simply emphasizes the fact that this year's team is the superior of any aggregation K. U. has been able to get together. Saturday's game was a pretty exhibition despite the miserable fielding of the Indians. Our boys played a splendid game both in the field and at the bat. Gear added another laurel to his merited crown by holding the hard left-handed batters down to nine scattered hits. For the first five innings they made only three hits from his delivery. Kelsey caught his regular brilliant game. Mitchell had a quiet time at first, but got even at the bat with a two-bagger and a three base hit, the latter coming in the second inning with two men on bases. Alden kept up his good work at second and got in another three bagger. The double play of Williamson and Mitchell in the second inning was the feature of the game. For the Indians Augusta pitched excellent ball, as he is prone to do. In the third inning he struck out Agnew, Chamberlain and Wagner in order. He was well backed up by the old war horse, Buckhart. Marian, on first, played like a foreigner, and the whole out-field acted as if they were on sentinel duty. Ogee is a remarkable player who is continually making sensational plays, but is as uncertain as the Kansas rains. The following is the score:

It is with a feeling of deep regret to all the sport-loving students and people of Lawrence, that the time has come for the disbandment of the ball team, and that maybe not again will the boys who have worked so faithfully in the interests of K.U. on the ball field, be seen in their crimson suits and familiar places. The University has never had so strong a team as the present one. Of the thirteen games played, but four were lost, three of these to professional teams. It has been unfortunate that we have not been able to take on more college teams. The boys have been playing ball that could win from any of the state universities of the West, but for one reason and another Manager Means has been unable to schedule a game. It means just this much lost: we have won a state reputation by easily defeating the state schools in order; we would be known beyond the limits of Kansas had we met some of the state teams. Manager Means has held his position in a most creditable manner, and carries with him the kindliest feelings of all the boys. Rollo Mitchell deserves a good share of the praise the team has received. He has been most enthusiastic and energetic in the capacity of captain, and has braced up the waning interest on many occasions. We would like to make a press dispatch on the merits and good deeds of each of the boys, but space will not permit. Kelsey and Gear will always be remembered in Lawrence, and each member of the ball team '95 has endeared himself to the students of K.U. by his gentlemanly manner and bearing and good ball playing.

Gear will wield the destinies of K. U's next year's team in the capacity of Captain. The report that Baker's big ball player, Taylor, is very sick with consumption, is without foundation. Alden's great ball playing has secured him a summer diversion. He will play second base for the Winfield team. K. U. does not want to part with Billy Williamson, so he will probably be with us next year. Billy will play foot ball and read Blackstone. Kelsey and Gear will again do battery work for Winfield this summer. It is said Jim has been in correspondence with Frohman since his big hit in the Senior play. Motter and Newton go to Chicago in the interest of K. U. Their efforts will be eagerly 6 Kansas University Weekly. watched by the K. U. students, who wish them all good things. The action of Missouri in the interstate contest lost us a great chance, but we may be heard from yet. features were a running catch by Agnew and a three base hit by Mitchell. In the game against the Topeka team last week, Gear struck out twelve men. The other It will be seen in the batting average that no more credit is given for a two or three base hit than a single. This may not seem just, but it is the clean hits at the needed time that win the games. LOGALS. The Seniors must go. The Juniors must don the mask of dignity. The Sophomores may now speak aloud. Mame Berry visited on the hill a few days ago. Nott, Woods and Northcraft went home last week. Several of the sophs. are sporting T. N. E. pins. The Freshmen now step into the Sophomore's shoes. Alden will play 2nd base for Winfield this summer. R. E. Stuart's Rock of Ages club has disbanded. Miss Carrie Lyons visited her Kappa sisters last week. Fred Pinkston was visiting friends on the hill last Friday. James Kelsey will manage the "Winfield Colts" this summer. Several black eyes resulted from the T. N. E. initiation last week. Jacques Jocund Morgan will never again perpetrate a practical joke. It has been clearly demonstrated of late that whist is not a girl's game. Miss Edwards will conduct the Doniphan county institute this summer. Mr. Lyons seems to be greatly interested in a number of sensational write-ups. The students who attended the state association last week were agreeably entertained Wednesday evening by the Misses Fisher at their home in Leavenworth. The graduating class will banquet the Alumni of the city, commencement week. Prof. Sayre 'made a business trip to Topeka Monday returning Tuesday morning. Crosby will work for his father in Kansas City this summer at the carpenter trade. Baldridge left for Deer Creek, Texas, last Monday where he will take a position as surveyor. Bright left last Friday for Ft. Scott to take charge of the chinch bug station located at that place. There are now 22,559 volumes in the library. Of these 2,000 volumes have been added since last September. "Chicago Bob" Stuart accompanied Umpire Cracraft to Ft. Riley last Sunday week. They rode the blinds. Hale is going to Chicago immediately after commencement to obtain a position with an electrical company. Fred Askew from Kansas City, dined at the Viscount club Sunday. Mt. Oread is a half way point for Fred. Messrs. Enoch, Brooks, Lee and Crew are doing the lettering on the diplomas for the graduating students. It is very probable that this department will hereafter confer the degree of pharmacetical chemist upon its graduates in place of the present degree of graduate in pharmacy. No drug store experience will be required to secure Kansas University Weekly. 7 the degree of Ph. C. Consequently the graduates will be obliged to depend upon the state board examination for registration. MacGregor Douglas, '94, is here for commencement. Mac hails from Oklahoma, the land of divorcedom. "Two-step" Edwards upon being asked what business he would follow this summer, replied that he 'lowed he'd loaf. "Olive" Shiras is undecided whether to enter Baker (The Saints Rest) the coming fall, or to register at Cornell. The Junior Law class for the coming year promises to be one of the best that has yet enrolled in that department. Miss Pearl Stuekey went home to Emporia Tuesday with a sister who had been visiting her here for several days. Billy Perry returned from the Pharmacentical association meeting at Leavenworth with his lapel covered with badges. Prof. Parrington of the college of Emporia, and Messrs. Randolph, Burtow and Haves visited the library on the 18th. The state examinatian was held at the university last Monday and Tuesday. Several students tested their knowledge. Mr. Knight, of St. Joseph, Mo., with a friend were through the library Wednesday. They are both friends of Prof. Dunlap. The high school gave a party at Frazer's hall Monday night of last week. Quite a number of university boys attended. 2:15 Newton and Umpire Cracaft, two disappearing Seniors, will this coming fall, form a company and engage in the manufacture of all sorts of hooks. Last Thursday the civil engineering society elected the following officers for the fall term: Pres. P. Burkholder, sec. J. N. Macomb, treas. H. F. Taylor. The "Baccalaureate Sermon" will be delivered by Willard Scott, D. D., of Chicago. Mr. Scott is the pastor of the south Chicago Congregational church, and was one of the judges on thought and composition at the Interstate Oratorical contest held at Galesburg this spring. The instrument cases in the physical lecture room and laboratory are being cleaned and painted for use in the physics building. Our old friend Will C. Laughlin secured the highest grade in an examination before the state board of Nebraska at a recent meeting. You can't keep a K. U. man down. Ira Matter and Ned Newton left for Chicago yesterday as the representatives of K. U. at the Chicago meet. The boys are in fine trim and stand a good chance to win some first places. Third baseman Hogeboone witnessed K. U's defeat Monday. Just before the game opened he had a couple of teeth broken in a collision with Mitchell. The latters head was cut very badly. Wagner and Chamberlain enjoyed themselves hugely at the Junior picnic. They arrived at the grounds just in time for a late supper and received a piece of cake and a sandwich. This was an ample reward for their two hours work at the oars. The following named pharmacy students successfully passed the state board examination at Leavenworth last Thursday: Pinkston, Hoffman, Woodward, Igle, Hassig, Graham and Northcraft. Igle and Graham received the highest grades given. A set of books of thirty-nine volumes was recently presented to the library by the king of Siam. The entire set is nicely bound in yellow leather. The books are written in the Siamese language; if any one is able to read this language let him present himself. Where the seniors may be found this summer: A. B. Clarke has accepted a position in Oskaloosa, Miss Carlyle will be at home in Leon and Miss Gehring at home in Lawrence; Hoffman will remain in Lawrence and work for McBride; Pinkston is employed in a Ft. Scott pharmacy; Kelling will be in Garnett and Bailey in Independence; Cowman expects to secure employment near Beloit; Schopflin has 8 Kansas University Weekly. a position in St. Joseph, Mo.; Perry expects to work for a wholesale drug house in Kansas City; Stuart expects to go to Chicago and Ogg to Kansas City; Jacquemin, Newton, and Bowen have not decided where they will go; Lang will begin work in St. Louis next September and Sprague will sojourn among the rustics of Morrill and relate tales of university life. Prof. Sayre and a large delegation of students attended the annual meeting of the Kansas Pharmacentical association at Leavenworth last week and captured several of the field contest prizes. Miss Northrup, Miss Fisher, and Mrs. Carter won the prizes offered for the egg and potato races. Myron Mason and Clarence Carter won the running races. In the 100 yard dash Mason won a fine silver flask. Of the two or three hundred journals in the reading room of the library eighty-one are foreign publications. Of these, twenty-seven come from London, Eng., twelve from Berlin, twelve from Paris, and nine from Leipzig, while Halle furnishes four, Vienna three, Stuttgart, Stettin and Cassel two each, and Stockholm, Santiago, London, Ont., Dresden, Cambridge, Eng., Strasbourg, Zurich and Athens one each. All of the leading dailies of the state are kept on file here. The students of the University of Kansas should consider themselves especially favored in that they are to have an opportunity to hear President Wm. R. Harper, of the University of Chicago. President Harper is recognized as being one of the leading educators in the world. He is at the head of the great University which is no doubt destined to become the intellectual center of educational circles in the Mississippi valley. Just at this time when President Harper is proposing to inaugurate a pronounced reform in the educational system of the Baptist church it is fitting that he should choose for the subject of his address "Ideals in Education." No one can be better fitted than he for outlining such systems as would raise educational standards and be of incalculable benefit to students the world over. President Harper is to speak Monday night at 8 o'clock. Every student of the University should hear him. Let us give this University man a University welcome. A party of a dozen university boys start for Buffalo, N. Y. next Monday, where they will canvass for Jas. M. Davis' stereoscopic views during vacation. Arrangements have been made to have a competent canvasser meet the boys at Buffalo, secure board and lodgings for them and give them a thorough drill in the science of canvassing. The boys expect to make enough money to carry them through another year and incidentally they will see Niagara and other sights. As at present constituted the members of the party are: O. T. Hester, Jno. B. Thierstein, J. W. Lanning, C. R. Troxel, J. M. Drysdale, S. C. Sweezy, L. A. Simons, F. H. Johnson, C. J. Moore, H. J. Myers, Geo. Kingsley and Leroy Beebe while Prof. Haworth and V. L. Leighton, who expect to spend the summer in New York and C. B. Humphrey, who is going to West Point, will go with the party and swell its numbers. E. Miller, Ph. D. The many friends of Prof. Miller will be pleased to learn that another merited honor has been conferred upon him. It is a source of great satisfaction to see such a deserving man, one who has confined himself so close to the field of pedagogy, the recipient of a Ph.D. degree which is truly the culmination of a long series of intellectual achievements. He has most successfully devoted many years to mathematics and astronomy without the least relaxation of purpose. He is a graduate of Alleghany College where he took the degrees of A.B. and A.M. It was in the capacity of principal and superintendent of the Lawrence High School that he proved his ability to be the head of the department of mathematics and astronomy at K.U., which position he has held since 74. The professor is a member of the New York Mathematical society, Astronomical society of the Pacific and of the honorary fraternity Sigma Xi. He is the author of --- Kansas University Weekly. 9 various articles on Defferentials and Determinants and of an excellent text on Plane and Spherical Trigonometry. His alma mater confers very few Ph.D.degrees and the recipients have reason to be duly proud as being the "chosen people." Senior Almanac. Annus Merabilis is the non de plume of the intellectual efforts of the class '95. It is a bright and witty production. The editorial board have spared no expense in their endeavor to get out a creditable publication. The cuts are unique and the jokes new. Throughout there is a bubbling forth of good, tickling humor. They may be had by sending 35cts to S.S.Brown or J.A.Lahmer, Lawrence, Kans. Commencement Program. Sunday, June 2.—Baccalaureate Sermon, by Willard Scott, D.D., of Chicago, at 8. P.M.

'92 and '94 amused the people by their antics upon the stage, '93 by an out-door circus, but the latest and the greatest success was the presentation of a real drama, "The Society in which one is bored," by the class of '95. The play was translated from the French and adapted to University life by members of the class. The rehersals have been under the direction of Miss Georgia Brown, and to her is due much of the credit for the success of the play. And it was certainly a success. Every seat in the house was taken, and a more enthusiastic audience was never seen in Lawrence. Each in turn received an ovation; when popular Jim Kelsey entered, such a storm of applause arose that the hero of a hundred ball-fields blushed in confusion. Every local hit was cheered till it seemed the dead in far off Oak Hill must rise from their graves to listen. The roar of yells, whistles, cat-calls, and applause even brought rain from skys which had long defied the prayers of a suffering people. The acting of Miss Schaum and Mr. Alden as Suzanne and Paul was the best of the evening, but all the leading parts were well taken, especially Mr. Ingalls as Roger, Miss Humphrey as the Duchess and Miss Smith as Jean. The musical representation of the senior reception by the band under the leadership of John Edwards, the comical butler, was one of the greatest hits of the evening.
