A LACK of space in last week's issue compelled us, at the last moment to omit a few of our "Robinson Letters". They are printed in this issue. We hope others will forgive us, even as we spared the printer whose calculations failed.
IN THESE days of optional studies when each student pursues some special line of work, it is of great value to have as many lectures as possible of general interest, in order that the student may keep in touch with work in other fields
than his own, and not become narrow-minded in his views. So we are glad to see such men as Prof. Raymond and Prof. Gilbert brought here to address University audiences, and we hope that others may be secured during the year.
WE ARE glad to see the governor come down and investigate the University a little for himself. It shows that he is interested and anxious to do what is right. And being so minded, he cannot help but be the better friend for his visit of a day among us.
ONE ENTIRE page of last week's Mail and Breeze is devoted to an account of the University, illustrated with pictures of the buildings and leading members of the faculty. The article is written in the usual lively style of that paper and gives a very fair and comprehensive view of the institution.
It is hard for one who is just beginning to comprehend the full reality of life, to think of death; for one who has felt the joy and the inspiration that come from the companionship of a strong-bodied, clear-minded, open-hearted fellow student to see that young friend suddenly stricken down. To think of him as dead who but yesterday departed from these halls, smiling, hopeful, confident, eager to be busied in the service of his fellows,—it is indeed a heavy sorrow. But even as our sense of loss is the greater because of the worth of him we mourn, just so is there the greater solace in recalling the good use to which he put the few years that were given him.
Edward O'Bryon came to Kansas University because it could best fit him for the noble calling in life which he had chosen. He appre-

ciated the opportunity, and made the most of it. Hard, conscientious application to study soon won him a place in the front rank of his class, and he held that place. He mastered his work for its own sake, happy in the consciousness that it was well done. He sought no other reward. And so, when his instructors conferred upon him the highest honors in their gift, he was not in the least spoiled, but continued the same frank, open, unaffected fellow as before; no one envied him—many were more pleased than he at his success.
Now, after one short year of active service, he is gone. We shall sorely miss his cheerful, kindly, noble presence. He never sought to attract attention to himself, and yet, in his simple, straight forward, honest way, he has impressed himself clearly and indelibly upon the memory of all who knew him. Through his earnest devotion to his work, his sincerity of purpose, his purity of life, his respect and appreciation for those about him, he has built up an influence for good which lives and endures. Those who knew him, loved him, and cherish the remembrance of his bright example as an inspiration to lead better lives. In long years he could have earned no better praise.
To the members of the Lecture Bureau, who have worked so zealously to bring about the successful issue which seems now well assured, the students owe a great debt of thanks. And they have acknowledged it by their patronage of the course. There could be no hesitation about paying seventeen cents to hear Ovide Musin; the only problem was to raise the seventeen cents. Those who were unfortunate enough to miss the first entertainment can still do no better than to buy a course tickets. The remainder of the course will be worth several times one dollar.
More Letters from Pupils of Prof. Robinson
Thank you for letting me say one word about my dear old friend, Professor Robinson. He was my instructor in our University many years ago, and later my colleague, and in all that time his kindness, his scholarship, his simple steadfastness, his sincerity and his patience were to me great aids. The profit of what I had from him has served me since I went away. I may not speak now of personal matters, but I may say that here, far away, where, in the often met prejudices against the west, the University of Kansas is a mere name and sometimes a name to be sneered at, the testimony that such a man as he was serving at the task-mill daily, taking the small wages, holding the precarious position and doing it all with that sweet serenity that made his life a blessing, won unexpected hearings for our institution. His welcome when I went back was always one of the best parts of the going back. How he set out the books and pictures and casts that had come in since I was last there! How sympathetically he touched them! Then the Latin jokes between the more serious talks! It is owing to his tenacity to the idea of beauty for its own sake, and the barrenness of life without beauty, that the University has today the incipience of a museum. KATE STEVENS,'75.
While but few of the instructors who were in the University during the years I studied there are there now, it is a source of great comfort to recall my association with them. Death has taken Gen. Frazer, Prof. Bardwell, Prof. Smith and Prof. Robinson from among us, but their influence for good remains with those who knew them as faithful instructors.
While the death of Professor Robinson comes with a heavier stroke, perhaps, upon those students who are at present connected with the University, and who would be under his immediate care and instruction, yet there is a loss felt in his death by those who knew him first many years ago that carries with it a sense of grief those who have but recently known him cannot realize.

We have lost in him a friend of our youth one who remained a friend through all the years since then; a friend whose fidelity, whose sincerity and whose true worth grew with the years that were given him.
LIZZIE WILLIAMS SMITH, '76.
Recollections of our days at Kansas University would not be complete were we to forget the kindly greeting received in the Latin classroom from Professor Robinson. We shall never forget his earnestness and enthusiasm. Many times, what seemed to us a collection of senseless words would convey to him a thought so beautiful that we would leave the classroom determined to discover whatever grand there might be in the next lesson.
With closed eyes we turn in memory to the Sabbaths of our childhood—Professor Robinson appears, the leader of our Sunday school, and we fancy we hear him, in low, musical tones, invoking the blessing and care of the Master on us as we go forth to enter upon the duties of another week.

Unassuming and kindly, the accurate scholar and the true hearted gentleman, Professor David H. Robinson by the breath and depth of his learning, by the nobility of his character, by the every influence of his life, made all who came in contact with him the better for the experience.
In his study less than a month before his death, he was enthusiastic in telling of his plans and work for the future and spoke words of kindest encouragement to the writer, making him feel anew how much the friendship of such a man means. Not a student who had ever been in Professor Robinson's class-room, but received the news of his death with a sense of personal loss. The memory and example of his life will be an inspiration to the young men and young women to whom he gave all his years, to fill in what measure they may the gap his death has left in the ranks of the true and the good. What greater success could any man wish? W.D.Ross,'93.
ATHLETICS.
The first and only big game of foot-ball that will be seen in Kansas this season will take place at McCook field Saturday. The Kansas University boys are to meet the Iowa Uuniversity team, while Missouri and Nebraska will battle at St. Joe. These will be the first games of the Intercollegiate Circuit, which promises an exciting race for foot-ball honors.
There is no doubt that the Western schools are in a bigger class today than they have ever been. The Tigers of Missouri have shown their superior ability by defeating the strong Indian teams, Depauw and Perdue. The Jayhawkers are easily stronger today than last Thanksgiving day when we defeated Missouri. The old men who are retained have profitted by
their experience, the new ones to a man are better players. Iowa and Nebraska have been very quiet as to their strength. They have always been in the race in past years and it is safe to say they will be again this season.
The return of Griffiths, the veteran guard, and Stone, last year's brilliant center rush, to the Varsity gridiron, has been hailed with joy. It was hoped all along that Griffiths would make up his mind to play again, but it was not until the two strong Indiana teams fell easy victims to the Tigers, that he could be prevailed upon to put on a suit. "Grif." is in great form and is making a clean running mate for big "Shorty" Hamill.
It was not anticipated that Stone would be

in school this year and his return to resume his electrical engineering studies, of course, means a new candidate for the foot-ball team. Stone will not be tried for center, as Walker is giving satisfaction in that position, but will be given a chance at tackle. Another new man is Fred Gump, who last year was captain and half back on the Kansas City, Mo., High School team. It is unfortunate, at least as far as football goes, that Gump is so late in entering. He is a plucky determined player and a sure tackle.
The presence of three new men at this late day has considerably changed the prospects of some of the men for positions on the first team.
Griffiths resuming his old place at guard has put Foster at right tackle, while Piatt goes to left end, which position Phillips has been holding creditably. The men in this new order of things have shown up to good advantage, although Piatt is handicapped by a sore knee. Crooks is a formidable candidate for end play. He is a terrific tackler, a good runner and is just the build to get into the opposition interference. With a little coaching he should develope in a "sure enough crack-jack."
The contest for the left tackle is interesting. Pope and Fletcher have been worrying each other a good deal and now Stone comes forward a candidate for the same position.
A whole lot is expected of Gaines at right end and judging by his practice play no one will be deceived.
The backs, Williamson, Outland, Hester, Kennedy and Hill are being carefully coached by Mr. Martin. Their play is wonderfully improved. Hill's knee is still disabled and Kennedy is taking good care of quarter.
We have a winning team. Anyone who studies the individual men as named above
cannot but reach this conclusion. We will not only beat Iowa,but we will make the Tigers change their steps Thanksgiving day. Coach Cowan has done it twice before and we have faith that he can do it again.
A peculiar and most fortunate thing is the strength of the substitutes back of the first team. There is not a position but that has a second man, and in some cases it is difficult to name the best man fitted for the place. Prominent in the substitute list are Burney, Phillips, Hess, Agnew, Griffith, Van Pelt, Kaull, Gump, Crooks and Smith. The players of the "scrub" team are deserving of abundant praise. There are several of these boys who have day after day acted as nine pins, better maybe eleven, to be knocked down by the first team men. This surely has been no fun for them, but has been prompted by geniune college spirit, and the success of the team is due in large measure to these men.
Saturday's contest promises to be not only the biggest foot-ball game of the season, but the sweltest social event as well. Parties from Topeka, Leavenworth, Atchison, Ottowa, Baldwin and Kansas City will be here to wave the glorious crimson. A number of very swell local turnouts will also adorn the field. Anyone who misses this game will have to question his patriotism or admit his poor judgment.
The game will be called promptly at 3 o'clock. The following is the lineup of the team : Walker, center; Hamill and Griffiths, guard; Pope and Foster, tackles; Piatt and Gaines, ends; Kenneday, quarter; Outland and Williamson, halfs; Hester, full.

The Societies.
(What they are doing.)
On account of the Memorial services several of the Seminaries did not meet Friday.
The Adelphic officers changed last Friday night, Mr. Wells was superceded by Mr. Geyer a Junior Law.
The Historical Seminary held its opening meeting last Friday at 4 p.m. in the lecture room of the Physics building. After outlining the objects and methods of the seminary, Prof. Blackmar lectured on the "Promises of Democracy." He dwelt at length upon false ideas of and false promises of equality and gave one a good insight to the true status of the American citizen.
The Economic Seminary meets every Monday evening at 7:30. This society was organized by Professor Blackmar for the benefit of students taking advanced work in his department. At each meeting the articles in the different economic magazines are reviewed and discussed under the immediate supervision of Prof. Blackmar. The students are thus kept in touch with both the leading political questions and their expounders. Last Monday evening Mr. Myers reported on Adam Smith, Mr. Kenzieviewed "Money and Credit Paper in the Modern Market" in the Journal of Political
Economy and Mr. Patten the articles of the Social Economist. The members also devote a part of the evening to the reviewing of the leading political books not otherwise embraced in the works of their respective classes.
The Adelphic Literary Society joined the ranks of the reform movement. Last Friday evening the society appointed a committee of five to get up a new constitution, consisting of H.G.Pope, Chairman; U.S.Geyer, E.K. Robinett, M.A.Limbocker and J.A.Simpson. It is the intention of the society to make itself the strongest literary and debating association the University has ever known and if reports from the committee indicate anything such a state of affairs will be brought about by the new constitution and a hearty co-operation of the members.
The K. U. correspondent for the Topeka Journal, by his latest sensational write up, has certainly exposed himself to criticism. "She Kissed the Governor!" Well, what of that? Such acts should be encouraged by every ambitious student, because, who knows how distant is the day when even the Journal correspondent himself may be called upon to fill the Gubernatorial chair. Then when these fair ones come (and come they will if the present prevailing custom is not changed by sensational write-ups) to proffer their sweet offerings, with meaning he may say, "This is the day I long have sought."
The meeting of the Adelphic last Friday evening was one of considerable interest, as outside of the regular literary program a constitution and by-laws were adopted. The adoption of the constitution provoked a slight parliamentary skirmish but it was accepted with but slight alteration. The regular election of officers was also held and U.S.Geyer chosen President. This evening the question of the propriety and advisability of the United States recognizing the independence of Cuba is to be discussed. On the evening of Nov. 8, the question for debate is: Resolved, That the A.P.A., is in harmony with American institutions.

On the Late Death of D. H. R.
"I will have," said the King of Heaven,
"A Preceptor, worthy and wise,"
And leaving the duties about Him,
On Oread fastened His eyes.
He summoned together our masters,
Each worthy himself to be blest;
Nor staid He one moment for counsel,
But hastened away with—the best.
Prof. Raymond.
The University has been honored by a visit from Prof. Raymond of Princeton College. Prof. Raymond is undoubtedly one of the very best known among Living American teachers of Elocution and Aesthetics and is the author of a number of text books on Elocution that are standard authorities on the subject. He holds the chair of Aesthetics at Princeton and ranks very high as an art critic.
In September of 1858 while both Chancellor Snow and Prof. Raymond were on their way to enter the Freshman class of Williams College they made each others acquaintance while make a long stage ride together. Throughout their college course Chan. Snow and Prof. Raymond were intimate friends and since their graduation in the class of '62, they have continued their acquaintance.
Prof. Raymond was called to Chicago on business and was invited by the Chancellor to pay him a visit and subsequently Prof. Raymond very kindly offered to deliver a course of lectures to the students of the University. Prof. Raymond wishing both to renew his acquaintance with his old school mate and to visit the University of Kansas accepted the invitation. The general subject of Prof. Raymond's lectures was "Art and Elocution." The lectures were all well attended and were greatly enjoyed by all who heard them. In the introduction to his first lecture Prof. Raymond referred in very complimentary terms to Chan. Snow, Prof. Hopkins and Hector Cowan, the three graduates of Princeton College on the faculty of the University and in reference to our faculty as a whole, said that the faculty of the University of Kansas compared very favorable with that of
any eastern college or university. Prof. Raymond is said to be one of few artists who have no words to say against others in the same profession.
Edward I. O'Bryon.
Upon Sunday morning, October 27th, at his home on Tennessee street, died Edward O'Bryon. He had been ill for more than a month with typhoid fever, which had attacked him almost at the beginning of his work as principal of the Newton high school in this state. He made an attempt to continue his teaching, but was soon obliged to put himself under medical treatment in Newton Hospital. His friends at home, however, felt that he should have the advantage of more constant and careful attendance, and he came to his father's house in this city. His very serious danger was at first hardly realized; and when it was realized, the disease had taken so firm a hold upon his whole system that medical skill was powerless to save him. After one strong effort for life, he seemed to give up the struggle; and in a few days the end came.
The story of Mr. O'Bryon's life is brief. Born, November 3d, 1872, near Sibley, Kansas; prepared for the University at Vinland high school; graduated from the University with the class of 1894; made instructor in Horton high school for one year; elected to the principalship of Newton high school;—these are the simple facts of the story.
Mr. O'Bryon's course in the University was, like the rest of his work, characterized by unusual faithfulness in study and earnestness in thought. He was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, election to which is made on the basis of scholarship. He belonged also to the Phi Delta Theta fraternity; and his views on fraternity matters were delightfully free from all narrowness of spirit. Before his fellow students he lived a life above reproach; a life remarkable for its kindliness and its dignity.
But Edward O'Bryon was more than this. To those who knew him more intimately, he revealed a real spiritual earnestness, a sympathy with all that is noble and pure, that en-

deared him to them more closely than all his talents or all his prospects of success in his chosen field of work. His death is a deep sorrow to those whose dearest hopes were bound up in him; it is a sad loss to the university, for even among college men simple purity and worth are not too common; it is also, in a true sense, a loss to the world, for the world can ill afford to lose anything of the great sum of good that God has put into it.
Resolutions from Teachers of the Horton City Schools.
In view of the loss we have sustained by the decease of our friend and former associate, Edward O'Bryon, and of the still heavier loss sustained by those who were nearest and dearest to him, be it
Resolved, That it is only a just tribute to the memory of our deceased friend and fellowteacher to say that, in regretting his removal from our midst, we, the teachers of the Horton city schools, mourn for one who was in every way worthy of our respect and regard.
Resolved, That we sincerely condole with the family of the deceased on the dispensation with which it has pleased Divine Providence to afflict them, and commend them for consolation to Him who orders all things for the best, and looks down with pitying eye on all his sorrowing children.
Resolved, That this heartfelt testimony of our sympathy and sorrow be forwarded to the family of our departed friend, and that it be published in the papers of the cities of Horton and Lawrence.

The Joint Debate with Nebraska.
A private letter recently received from Prof. Adams, of the University of Nebraska states that the students of that institution, though accepting with a very good grace their defeat of last May, have determined that it shall not be repeated, and are already at work in preparation for the preliminary contests; and this without any other stimulus than the desire of victory. This should suggest to Kansas University students that as we have one victory to encourage us, and therefore a reputation to maintain, we also should be up and doing. Moreover there is a more material inducement to activity in the shape of the two cash prizes offered by our friends in New York City, as announced in the English Bulletin.
The committee to have the debate in charge this year is to be chosen on or before the first Friday in November, and is to consist of three members of the faculty, one representative from each class of the School of Arts, one each from the schools of Law, Engineering, Music and Pharmacy, and one from each debating society.
Any debating society organized in the University before December 1st may enter representatives in the preliminary contests. There is room for more societies besides those already in existence, and the contests should be spirited from the beginning. If the Kent Club wins again this year, it should be after the hottest possible fight.
The value of the work to every participant is much greater than that involved in the ordinary oratorical contest; and the debates themselves are of greater interest to those who listen, and may be made the occasion for the display of as much college spirit as is desired.
These statements are made in order to emphasize the fact that it is necessary to begin

preparations now, as Nebraska is doing, if we hope to hold what we have gained from her, and this other fact, that part of that preparation should be in the special training of expression; meaning not dramatic or what is ordinarily understood by oratorical training, but practical training, looking to ease and effectiveness and not to mere ornamentation. Hitherto there has been little or no opportunity offered students to secure this kind of training; and what has been offered has been elementary, and offered to classes rather than to individuals. This year all that is changed; and the work of the second term in oratory will be individual work, while optional advanced training is offered to all who desire it, and will excuse from a part of the forensic work as well.
This optional special training is offered as a second term course. In view of the preparation for the debate, it would perhaps have been better to have made it a first term course; but as the work consists almost entirely of individual training, it will be posssible for the department of English to arrange so that those who wish may take it earlier, and shape it directly toward the preparation for the debates. All students who may wish to make such an arrangement are asked to hand in their names before the first of November.
It may be added further that all Sophomores who for any reason wish to take their regular second term required work in oratory now, may do so. This course is also a course in individual training. All who prefer to do the work in the first term rather than the second are asked to hand in their names at once.

WE WERE a little too hilarious at the ball game—yelled "Rock Chalk" a little too much and consequently we haven't the voice to say much. The boys have started the ball right merrily; let them keep it as merrily going and "roll up a good round majority for K. U.," as the politicians say. If they will keep steadily at their practice, there is excellent prospect for a second "Never Defeated."
A PRACTICAL question for some student in sociology:—Why have so few tramps stopped
in Lawrence since the city began the work of paving Winthrop street? Are these two facts in any way related as cause and effect? The city marshal and engineer in charge of the work could probably give some information on this point which would be of value to one studying the problem of the unemployed.
THAT a man has no money to spare for such things, does not excuse him for stealing a pan of sweetmeats left conveniently unguarded at a confectioner's back door, and if he steals them when he is abundantly able to pay for them, we consider him all the more a sneak. In either case he will get into serious trouble if caught. But is he morally any less culpable when he sits on the hillside and steals a ball game? The one act makes him as much a thief as the other. If either is to gain by the comparison, it is the poor, shivering sneak who steals that with which to put another coat on his back, rather than the hundreds of well-to-do people who at every game rob the Athletic Association of its just dues.
The most energetic and enterprising body in the University this fall is the Lecture Bureau. It has as much "push" and activity as our winning eleven and will as surely win. In a remarkably short time it has organized and closed contracts for one of the best courses ever given here, and we have already enjoyed the first entertainment, by Musin. And having made sure of the regular course, the bureau is going ahead to show what it can do in the way of special attractions, starting out with Fred Funston's lecture on Alaska. Fred Funston dug out of the snow and ice of that frozen country some very interesting experiences which
172
Kansas University Weekly.
he relates in a very pleasant way, and his faithful Kodak stands witness to the truth of every story.
The bureau still hopes to bring Geo. R. Peck here sometime this winter. Henry Watterson
will deliver his lecture on Abraham Lincoln Dec. 11th, and he will be preceded on Dec. 6th by Geo. B. Williams, the Shakesperean reader. Meanwhile course tickets are still on sale, and the moral is to dig up a dollar.
ATHLETICS.
Victorious Jayhawkers.
"How game we are, how game we are, Nobody knows how game we are."
These were the words chanted by the stalwart and gentlemanly young men from Iowa University last Saturday, as they wended their way to the McCook field to do battle with the hardy Kansans. The song wasgiven with as much spirit and mirth as could be engendered into the doleful tune of "Oh, Happy Day."
As they left the field two hours later, during which interval the brawny K. U. men had walked all over them, and buried their faces in the rich strata of dust covering the field, besides submitting them to other indignities incidental to a foot ball game, the brave Iowa boys again took up their song—the sentiment somewhat changed :
"How sore we are, how sore we are, Nobody knows how sore we are."
The dirge was irresistably funny had it not been rendered pathetic by the genuine feeling with which it was sung.
The day was an ideal one, and people showed their appreciation by turning out in greater numbers than on any like occasion to cheer the boys to victory. There were two or three hundred out of town people on hand, while the students and town folks swelled the attendance to fifteen hundred. The game was the social event of the season. There were numerous swell turnouts, from the three-quarter buggy to the wagonettes and tally hos, while those on foot were not to be overlooked.
Twenty of the sweet town and 'Varsity girls, each wearing a crimson sailor and carrying a Karnival horn, came out in the old stage coach,
now called tally ho, which was tastefully decorated in crimson. This is the handsomest turnont that has ever graced McCook field,and it was a delicate compliment to the foot ball team.
There were crimson flags and banners galore, and the "Rock Chalk" slogan was never given with more enthusiasm.
The game was an easy victory, yet not so much so as the uneven score of 52 to 0 would suggest. The Iowa boys played as plucky an up-hill game as was ever seen on any gridiron, and accepted their defeat in such a manly, stubborn fashion as win them applause and sympathy.
The game was won by superior team work, and not by individual playing. While Hester, Outland, Burney and Hamill played brilliant ball during the whole game, so did Leighton, Maine, Gaines and Holbrook for Iowa. The Iowa boys were outplayed at every point if not outclassed as well. They could do nothing with the interference set up by Kansas, while their own, in turn, was torn to pieces by the Jayhawkers. Then the "quick, snappy play," which seems to be the winner this year, winded them completely, so in the second Iowa played for time, thus causing the game to drag.
In the line Kansas had an advantage of about ten pounds. This seemed to be more than the Hawkeyes could overcome, and, although the backs kept hammering away, apparently with as much spirit as if they were breaking through at every attempt, it was only at right tackle they could make much headway. Here Foster was playing his first match game, and his de-

fensive play was weak. In offensive play,however,Foster showed up to good advantage,making nice gains when sent with the ball,and twice dropping onto a fumbled ball.At left tackle Pope played a capital defensive game, and with Griffiths made holes in the Iowa ranks large enough to drive the team through, but three or four times Pope lost ground when given the ball.Every other man on the team played magnificenly,and on the whole the team is deserving of nothing but praise.Neither Williamson nor Hill went into the game.
Hester, Outland and Burney each played a perfect game in his position. Hester hit the line with terrible force, and always for a gain. His tackling and punting were fine. Outland made himself a prime favorite by his brilliant, heady work. His repeated runs around the right end for big gains were features of the game. Burney is nervy, uses good headwork and plays with a determination that must win. He is an excellent half back. Gump took Outland's place in the middle of the second half. His work was remarkable. How a 150 pound man can plough through a heavy line the way Gump does, must be a source of wonder to any one who sees him play. Kennedy played a pretty game at quarter. He was at all times cool, gave the signals well, and passed the ball without a fumble. Games started in nobly, making two nice gains around the right end, when he was ruled out of the game for slugging. The offence was not an aggrevated one. Crooks went to right end and finished the game in splendid style. He tackled beautifully and surely. Capt. Piatt played his first game at end, and put a very creditable game. He stopped the Iowa interference around his end nicely, besides getting into his own inferference. He was not so successful in gaining ground. Hamill and Griffith stood like stone walls in the 'Varsity line. Griffith played in his old style, just as though he had been in training all year. Hamill was run with the ball frequently, and always to good gains. Walker fairly outdid himself at center against the old Iowa center, Iverson. He not only held his man well, but managed to get into the
outside plays, and once securing the ball on a fumble ran 20 yards for a down.
The best playing for Iowa was done by Capt. Leighton at full back, Maine at quarter, Gaines, right half, and Holbrook, left end. Hobbs played a good game at left half back, as did Stanton at right tackle. Maine, who acted full back on defensive play, and little Halbrook, the colored end, did the most effective tackling. Halbrook is a black diamond. He is in nearly every play that goes on, and although he was treated rather roughly sometimes, as a result, never flinched. The 'Varsity did not go around his end very frequently, possibly because the other end was easier. Gaines, Iowa's right half back is a brilliant player, and under favorable conditions would show up strong.
In the second half Hester tried a punting game, making some splendid gains. Iowa could not kick a little bit. Hester and Outland kicked the goals.
THE GAME DETAILED.
Hester opened the game with a 30 yard kick to Gains who returned it 10 yards. Gaines tried Foster, but there was nothing in his name, and the crowd yelled. Hobbs then took 5 yards through Pope and Leighton made 2 yards between right guard and center. Allison went for center and lost 2 yards. Halbrook then fumbled and K. U. took the ball. Burney and Hester went through left guard for 2 yards each, while Outland, Hamill made 5 yards each through the line. Burney was sent to right guard for a loss of 2 yards, and Outland squared matters by a 20 yard gain around right end and was downed by Capt. Leighton. Burney added 10 yards more around the same end. Hester bucked center for 2 yards, and Outland went through guard for a down. Time 7 minutes.
This was the beginning of the end. Iowa kicked the ball 30 yards into Kansas territory, and Walker got it back to the 20 yard line. Games went around right end for 30 yards. Hester got 1 yard at right tackle. Johnny Outland tried the left end, but Halbrook got into the interference and pulled him down on a 4 yard gain. Hamill broke through the
174
Kansas University Weekly.
tackle and ran 25 yards before the Iowa boys could stop him.
Gaines lost a yard and the ball went to Iowa on an off inside play. Gaines went through right tackle for 10 yards, and was beautifully tackled by Outland. Hamill jumped on Cutting and downed Hobbs for a loss. Leighton tried to punt, but the ball would not rise, so foster fell on it. Outland, Hester and Burney then took turns at the Iowa line, for good gains, Burney going through guard for a down. The features of the next down was the two big runs of Outland sround right end, one for a 35 yard gain, the second for 55 yards and down blocked by Games and Piatt. In this interval Halbrook made two fine tackles.
The first play of the third line up, was a 35 yard end run by Gaines. This was too much for the Iowa boys, so Powers was called into Allison's place at right end. Piatt and Foster took 4 yards and 8 yards through guard and tackle. Burney got around Holbrook for 20 yards. Games again went around the end for 10 yards, and was ruled off for slugging, Crooks taking his place.
Piatt fumbled and Gaines took the ball. Hobbs goes 10 yards and Halbrook 5 yards through right tackle. Leighton tried right end and was beautifully tackled by Crooks. Hamill downs Hobbs for a loss, and K.U.takes the ball on downs. Outland gained 30 yards on three attempts around left end. Hamill and Burney were pulled down neatly by Halbrook on short gains through the line. Burney then goes around right end for a down.
Another down was scored in the first half on good end gains by Crooks and Burney and hard line bucking by Hester.
In the second half five more downs were scored. The play was almost entirely in Iowa territory. Coach Cowan instructed a kicking game in this half, and most of the gains were made on Hester's punts. When near the goal the boys would settle down and by a series of quick line rushes, in which Gump took a conspicuous part, go over the line for a touch down.
Of the ten downs six goals were kicked.
Hester and Outland each missed two and kicked three.

Foot-ball Condition.
The Athletic Association is in need of money and has been compelled this year to ask for contributions in order to meet running expenses. The conditions are as follows: At the opening of the school year the association was about one hundred dollars in debt, due to unusual and unexpected expense last year. Some money was taken in from membership fees at the time of the Athletic election, more was needed and subscription papers were started among the merchants and at the University and a moderate amount was pledged. This has, for the most part been collected, but the ordinary items of expense for the foot-ball season have more than exhausted this amount and the association is still in debt. The general feeling this year has been that the team should play no big games except the regular league games, thus avoiding the danger of crippling players and endangering our success in those games for which we really care. This is no doubt a wise policy yet it deprives the association of a good source of revenue. The games thus far have not netted one hundred dollars above expenses all told. Everything is thus made to depend on the financial success of the Thanksgiving day game in Kansas City. Then too, in the last five years base-ball, tennis, and track hathletics have never paid expenses, and foot-ball has thus been compelled to support all other athletic interests.
Is it not time for the students of the University to give something by subscription to the association. Within the last five years three
Kansas University Weekly.
175
large subscriptions have been made by townpeople and by members of the faculty in the support of athletics, but students have given nothing in this way. The subscription of this year was smaller than before and time and again the reason for declining to give was that the students themselves did not give. If every student would give so small an amount as fifty cents the association would be placed in a position when, with the income from the Thanksgiving day game, it could in all probability do without subscriptions next year.
We believe that the students are ready to do their share in all such matters as this, if the proper means are used to place the question before them and we hope that when this student subscription is asked, as it probably will be, every one will come forward with the amount which he feels he ought to contribute.

who has ever taken work in the department of Mathematics under Prof. Miller and has come to know him will heartily endorse the action of the Regents.
The Topeka Mail and Kansas Breeze got its University illustrations mixed last week and labeled the Physics building "The Chancellor's Residence."

The report that one dollar admission will be charged for the Thanksgiving day game at Kansas City has caused a good deal of dissatisfaction among those students intending to attend the game.

A crowd that filled both floors of University Hall heard Frederick Funston's illustrated lecture on his Alaskan experiences last Friday evening. Mr. Funston is a very pleasant lecturer and held the undivided attention of his audience from the very beginning. The lecture was well illustrated by a number of lantern slides from pictures taken by Mr. Funston himself during his stay of two years in Alaska.
Prof. Dyche brought from the Arctic Regions one of those light leather canoes used by the Esquimaux in hunting seals or walruses. The frame work is wood and ivory, and is covered with skins. There is not a nail or a scrap of iron used in its make. The pegs with which the frame is held together are of wood or ivory. The oar-lock is the transverse section of a tusk. The spears which they use have ivory points. The canoe resembles, in general shape, the one-man racing boat.

Women's League Reception.
The Women's League will give a reception to the girls of the University on Saturday afternoon, November 9, at three o'clock, at the home of Professor Miller, 1244 Tennessee Street. All young ladies in every department of the University are most cordially invited to be present. It is the purpose of the Women's League to make these informal receptions pleasant occasions in the University girl's school life, occasions when she can meet and become acquainted with her classmates and the wives of her professors. Some entertaining feature is always provided and the League promises a pleasant afternoon to all who attend.
The Joint Debate Again.
As the article on the joint debate was delayed in appearing, and the date mentioned in it had already passed, the Department of English wishes to announce again that all students who may wish to take work in Oratory now, looking toward preparation for the debates, may do so if they hand in their names at once.
The committee to have the debate in charge this year will be announced as soon as organized. The Intercollegiate rules and those adopted last year to govern our own preliminary debates will be found posted on the large bulletin board in University Hall.
Nebraska already has thirty men in active training for preliminary debates.

Ovide Musin.
A splendid program admirably rendered greeted a very large and appreciative audience at University Hall on Saturday evening 26th The event was the opening of the Lecture Bureau course of six entertainments by the Musin Concert Company. It is unnecessary to say that the course is an assured success this year in every way, and that the attractions offered, and the changes made by the management have met with the decided approval of the students and townspeople. That University Hall is the proper place for all such events was proved conclusively by the attendance and the success of the concert Saturday evening. The artists were inspired by the audience, and also by the superior advantages possessed by the hall. It was the testimony of Musin and M. Scharff, the pianist, that they never played in a place where their music sounded better, or for an audience more appreciative. On reaching the hall, Musin decided to change his program for a solidly classical one instead of the conventional "popular" one one usually presented. This made the regular program useless, and as Mrs. Musin had been called east by the sudden death of her father, making further changes necessary, the numbers had to be announced to the audience.
Miss Grace Wittich was a very acceptable subsitute for Mrs. Musin. She has a fine voice and sang her numbers delightfully. Musin

WE WISH to call special attention to the very interesting letter from Mrs. Gertrude Boughton Blackwelder on the Dormitory System at Chicago University which we publish in this issue. The subject is one which should receive attention here at Kansas University.
ON NOVEMBER 22 will occur the formal dedication of the new Physics building. To how many students does the question occur: "Will there be no regular work that day?" When a fellow is being steadily snowed under by his
work and the drifts are daily becoming deeper and heavier, a holiday is a day of sunshine and warmth and gladness in his life.
WE MODESTLY give way to the State Normal. Will White in the Emporia Gazette says: "One of the sights of Hallowe'en was a quadrille by four couples of Normal students at a street crossing. President Taylor should call out the militia to prevent such orgies." The Normal should have a disciplinary committee to look after such matters.
NUMBER Two of the fourth volume of the Kansas University Quarterly has appeared within the week. The major portion of the number is devoted to mathematics, the following being the table of contents: "Continuous Groups of Projective Transformations Treated Synthetically," by H. B. Newson; "The Theoretical and Measured Pumping Power of Windmills," by E. C. Murphy; "Two Remarkable New Genera of Diptera," by S. W.

THE NEWSPAPERS are just now induging in a great deal of talk about sending Prof. Dyche in search of the North Pole next season. We have not heard the Professor express his own thoughts in the matter, but we can imagine what he might say. Prof. Dyche has devoted himself to the study of Natural History and the gathering of specimens which will some day form the greatest collection of its kind in the world, and we have no fear of his leaving his work half completed to pursue a frozen bubble of fame which must quickly melt in the

hand of the winner. When the Professor goes hunting, he goes after something more substantial than this, something which he can stuff and put in the museum, and he is proudest when he can come home with "eighty or ninety boxes and barrels of specimens," as he has this time. And when these are taken care of we want to see him take down his gun and go south for a time, and in the course of a few years we hope to read such headlines as a "Rival of Stanley and Livingstone," or "Dyche's Siberian Expedition." Prof. Dyche has a world to conquer, but he will not seek to do it by pulling out the props which support it.
UNDER THE management of Mr. Fred B. McKinnon, the Agora is brought out as a monthly and the November number presents a very inviting table of contents. The most notable articles are: S. O. Thacher by Dr. Cordley, "Desert Island," a poem by Florence
L. Snow, and "The Start of Coronado," a translation by E. F. Ware from an old Spanish manuscript. Particularly interesting are the departments which are conducted by the following editors: Art and Letters, B. W. Woodward; Popular Science, T. H. Dinsmore of the State Normal; Notes About Women, Mrs. Mary A. Humphrey; Language and Literature: W. H. Carruth; Historical Notes, F. G. Adams, of the State Historical Society; Educational Notes, John MacDonald of the Western School Journal. There is also a valuable legal digest prepared from syllabi of the supreme court and courts of appeals, which will be appreciated by all lawyers. Hereafter Mr. Dewey will be assisted in his editorial duties by Mr. R. D. O'Leary of the University. The Agora is the literary magazine of Kansas and we are proud of it, and of the part which University people have in its making.
LITERARY.
The Women's Halls of Chicago University.
The West has long ago settled the question of co-education. It is not likely that a college or university will be founded there, or in any other section of our country, which will not give instruction to both sexes. But the problem of caring for the students outside the class-room has not yet been solved. The authorities of one college leave the students to choose temporary homes wherever they can find them, in private houses or in the professional boarding places of the town. The policy of other institutions is to provide a home for those who are separated from their families. Each plan has its advantages. The student who lives with a quiet refined family still keeps up his home habits, the indefinable courtesies which might be lost in institutional life; and is less likely to suffer from interruptions and distractions incident to a large concourse of his fellows. But you of Kansas University well know that there
are not enough quiet, refined homes, where boarders may be received, to supply the demand of a growing college. Then the boarding house, naturally a profit-seeking institution comes in to fill the want. It goes without saying that quiet and privacy are seldom found in these, while the young man or woman has a degree of liberty that is not always best.
The other plan makes the university itself responsible for the social life of the students. And who will deny that social life is an important part of the college course? You are living while in college not preparing to live, (as some define the process of education) and no tendency of the being so helpful to development as intercourse with one's fellows, should be overlooked There are practical reasons for a greater attention to the conventionalities of life than has been given by most schools. Last winter Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer showed me letters from college authorities who were seeking teachers.
Kansas University Weekly.

Many of these specified other qualifications besides mere scholarship in certain lines. "She must be a model for our girls" says one;—"We want a lady, one who dresses neatly and is attractive in appearance" says another. One to Prof. Palmer of Harvard asks for "a first-class Greek teacher, a man with correct table manners."
The time is past when an educated woman (or man) will be forgiven for carelessness in dress and manners because she knows Sanscrit, or is acquainted with the calculus. It is necessary therefore that an atmosphere of refinement should surround our young people during their college days, an impressionable period of life I am particularly impressed with these things when I visit the Women's Halls of the University of Chicago. There are three now occupied while a third is soon to be built by the women's clubs of this city. Every Monday afternoon a reception is held at one of these halls. Cards are sent out for them at the beginning of the season to prominent society people and friends of the university. A reception committee exists in each house, which has charge of the entertainment, the passing of tea and wafers in winter, of cakes and ices in the warmer months, while the guests are received by the Dean assisted by young ladies selected each week by her. There are always a few flowers, each house having a chosen blossom with which to decorate. Beecher Hall has the violet, Kelly Hall the white rose, and Nancy Foster Hall the pink carnation. The quiet elegance of the rooms, the bright flowers and the tasteful, but inexpensive gowns of the girls make these occasions very attractive.
There one meets some of the professors for a few minutes. Many of them are too busy but I have had a glimpse in this way of Dr. VonHolst, a hasty chat with Prof. Laughlin of financial fame, and others. The wives are usually out in force and many of the older students. Chicago ladies of wealth and social position drive out to these informal receptions, showing their interest in our great educational institution The line of private carriages outside bespeaks the refinement of wealth, which the most democratic must confess to be an important factor in civilization.
There is no lack of societies and clubs, secret or otherwise, and these are more or less given to hospitality; so the "season" (which dates from October to May) is as gay as the routine of college work will admit.
It is a fact that many of the young girls come from homes where the aesthetic in life is not a matter of consideration. These will enter a room very awkwardly at first; their self-consciousness will be painful to behold; but a few weeks in the atmosphere of Beecher or Kelly or Foster Hall will usually metamorphose them into well-bred young ladies, interesting in conversation and charming in manner.
The everyday life in these halls is of course not so familiar to me. But it is safe to say that the pleasant intercourse of the girls themselves goes on as far as studies will permit. Most of the rooms have but one occupant, and the girls, like those at Vassar and Wellesley, vie with each other in ingenuity in furnishing their "dens." The single bed becomes an oriental couch when its nocturnal duties are over, and exchanges its fair burden for a bewildering mass of sofa cushions. Screens disguise the toilet arrangements and one of these rooms bears very little resemblance to the average bed-room and study of an ordinary students' boarding house.
To come down from the aesthetic to the grossly material we must not leave out the culinary department. One thing our civilization has not taught us yet—what food will best strengthen and sustain us for our daily tasks. But practical science is finding out these things and the time is coming when a knowledge of them will be as common as an acquaintance with decimals or with the contour of the South Sea Islands. Our daughters will be taught how to conserve the health and strength of their families. A department of domestic science, which will teach the scientific choosing and prepairing of foods, is under the management of Miss Marion Talbot, dean of women in the university. But as Rudyard Kipling would say, that is another story.
The authorities of the university wished to

give their students wholesome, well prepared food, and at the same time make the expense of boarding so small that no one should be barred out for pecuniary reasons. They called to their aid Mrs. Ellen A. Richards of the Mass. Institute of Technology, a woman who has probably done more practical work in the investigation of the values of foods than any one in this country, men not excepted. She spent several weeks superintending the furnishing of the kitchens and the training of help. I had the pleasure of examining these arrangements just before Mrs. Richards departure. I recall especially the cleanliness, the absence of odors, and the prevalence of Aladdin ovens over the old fashioned range, and of steam cookers over pots and skillets and drippingpans. One cuisine serves the three halls, although each of these has its own dining-room, a pleasant, light apartment on the first floor.
These "homes" (as Mrs. Palmer was fond of calling them) are presided over by women instructors, who look out for the welfare of the girls physically and morally. The presence of these gracious, noble-minded women as heads of the women's halls is a sufficient guarantee of dignified conduct on the part of the inmates. The espionage, if any exists, is so inoffensive that I doubt if there is any disposition to cheap under it. Personal liberty is recognized as essential to happy, profitable student life. But a young lady cannot be imprudent in behavior or neglect the laws of health withoutbeing delicately reminded and intelligently advised.
The beautiful, well-ordered life here is appreciated more and more every year. One young lady who entered last season planning to live on a certain sum, entirely too small for wholesome, not to say comfortable living, took a little room outside the campus, did her own cooking (if any) and managed to keep her expenses below that of the dormitories. In a short time she came to Mrs. Palmer, then dean of the women, and asked for a sum of money from the Students' Loan Fund. Upon inquiry she confided to Mrs. Palmer that she could not afford to live outside the halls. Her aesthetic nature was starving. She was becoming a mere book-worm and was not acquiring any of the graces of manner which do belong to evenly developed woman-hood. She received the loan and at once established herself in one of the halls.
It is a significant fact that Dr. Harper refused to accept the presidency of this university unless the dormitory system, both for men and women, should be adopted. It is not fair to ask an institution to assume the guardianship of a large number of young people without some chance of watching over them. The best educational thought is turning toward the up-building of character as an essential part of the teacher's work. To accomplish this the closest relationship should exist between instructors and pupils. The college campus is the natural centre for all college life, social as well as intellectual.

ATHLETICS.
Cris-Crosses and Fake Kicks.
Mr. Tom Mastin, who has been doing excellent work in coaching the backs, witnessed the Missouri-Nebraska game in the interest of Kansas. He believes Missouri to be stronger than Nebraska, although he would not be drawn out on the respective merits of Missouri and Kansas. He had this to say, "If Kansas loses it will not be the fault of the individual men."
A Missouri correspondent has sent out the report that it has come to be understood at Columbia that the Kansas team has had a "spotter" at all the games Missouri has played this year. No this is not true. We expect to win by playing the game and not by watching Missouri. Besides our "gold reserve" will not permit of our sending delegates around the country on missions of this nature.
The severe illness of Hester has been received with general regret. Not only is sympathy expressed for Hester, but much uneasiness is felt for the team. Hester is the greatest full back the Varsity has ever had and his retirement at this critical stage is distressing. We can only hope he will be in shape for the Thanksgiving game.
In the illness of Hester the management of the team has exposed itself to criticism. The boys were driven to the Exposition Park in an open bus and upon their arrival at Lawrence Saturday night were compelled to walk home, after taking part in one of the hardest games ever played in the West. The foot-ball players life is not all glory, in which case these things might be overlooked. It is false economy, it will be seen in the end, and is certainly an injustice to the players.
The local papers are raising a fuss over the dollar admission to the Thanksgiving game. They affirm any such action will reduce the college sport to a mere money making venture and will injure the Lawrence attendance. This position is certainly not well taken. It takes money to keep up a foot-ball team, and how
would you get the money? It's all right to let the generous merchants support the club, we suppose, so long as they are pleased to do so, and we have no legislation assistance, but what's the matter with raising the proceeds from those who are directly benefited? There are lots of people who will sit on the hillside and yell themselves hoarse for the home team, who wouldn't contribute twenty-five cents at the gate. The boys are giving up valuable time, many of them, from no other impulse than college pride pure and simple, and besides they have to pay for training table. We hope no Kansan will be deprived the privilege of seeing the game because of the excessive rate of admission. However, the great bulk of the gate receipts will come from Kansas City people who can well afford that amount and will be the more appreciative thereby.
The Athletic Association has decided to ask the assistance of the student body to meet the current expenses of the foot-ball team. An article in explanation appeared in our last week's issue and we feel assured that more than a mere suggestion as to the condition of affairs is unnecessary. Suffice is it to say we are in need of money. The team is badly in want of articles for its comfort and welfare and it should be the proud privilege of every student to contribute something to help out. There is not a man in the University who may not be heard to say he will give anything if we beat Missouri. That's the talk and now is the chance. We won't need your help after we beat Missouri. Chip in now and the boys will do the rest. President Greene of the Athletic Association and Prof. Adams of the Athletic Board will receive your offerings. You can make your payment individually, or through your class, club or fraternity. Next week we will give a list of the students contributing.
The Kansas City World, "a newly developed sporting sheet" had in last Sunday's issue, the only picture of the Jayhawkers that has appeared this season. The picture in itself is a good
192

likeness of the team, but we think the World artist must have been dizzy. It is impossible to distinguish Kennedy from "Shorty" Hamill. Nevertheless we appreciate the spirit of the paper.
A pleasant feature of the Kansas-Doane game was the graceful tribute of the Kansas team to Earl Steinberger, who witnessed the game. Before beginning the game the boys gathered near where Steinberger was seated, and after the yell, three cheers were given. Steinberger arose on his crutches and lifted his hat. The spectators appreciated the situation and applauded loudly.
A strong second eleven has been organized with Kaull as Captain and Creba as Manager. On Saturday next while the first team is battling with Nebraska, the second eleven will be winning laurels at Topeka when they play the Cooper Medical College. The lineup will be as follows: Ends, Agnew, Phillips; tackles, Fletcher, Steele; guards, Dean Foster, Kaull; center, Griffiths; quarter, Creba; half backs, Hess, Wagner; full back, Squires; Williams, Smith, Van Pelt and Chadwick, substitutes. This makes a team that will be hard to beat. The game should be well attended and no doubt many students will go to cheer the boys who have helped build up the first team.
Doane Defeated.
The victory of the Jayhawkers over Doane College last Saturday was one of which Kansas may well be proud. The game was played at Kansas City before fifteen hundred spectators. About sixty students and town folk accompanied the team and made up in enthusiasm what was lacking in numbers.
As was anticipated, the game proved to be a most interesting one. It is one of the fastest games on record and some idea of its fierceness may be estimated from the number of plays, a few less than two hundred being made. This shows the endurance of the home team. It was their superior training as well as coaching that won the day. The Doane boys became completely exhausted in the second half.
They played for time on every down or two and were powerless before the fast play of the Kansans.
There was some difference of opinion as to the expediency of the Jayhawkers meeting with the Doane boys. It was known that Coach Cowan was opposed to the match, but it can scarcely be questioned that the game will prove of great value to the team. We learned several things. One of these things that it is not always the best to discard the old for the new and that by all means the old should not be overlooked. The cris-cross and fake kick were used with avidity by the Doane boys, but hereafter we will have our eyes open.
During the first fifteen minutes of the game the boys acted as if they were matched against the second eleven. The playing was very ragged and while Games got the blunt end of the deal for letting Ho Kenagy twice go around his end on the cris-cross—the first time for a touch down—the work of the other men was of the same order, Piatt missed two tackles, Hill fumbled the ball twice, while the men in the line were unable to open any paths for the backs. In fact matters looked very blue to the Kansas contingent, while the Missouri following on the bleechers, cheered loudly for Doane.
Then the Varsity waked up and set a pace that startled the Doane men. The fierce rushes and aggressive playing of the Jayhawkers must have caused the Doane boys to dream that night of Kansas tornadoes. Hester at full back played the greatest game of foot-ball ever seen in Kansas City. His line rushes were simply terrific, and three different times with three yards to gain on the last down, he was given the ball and saved it for the 'Varsity. He tackled splendidly and kicked the goals well. Gump made a brilliant showing before his home audience. His dives over the line were as pretty as was ever seen on any gridiron.
Burney, at the other half, played a capital game. With the exception of one fumble, his work was as excellent. No one in the team played a better game in his position than guard Griffith. He outplayed Capt. Lee completely.
Kansas University Weekly.
193
It was between Griffith and Foster and Oater Stone, who took Foster's place, that Hill sent the backs most frequently, and there was no obstruction when they reached this point in the line.
Hamill played in splendid form. He was run sixteen times with the ball, and never failed a gain. Pope and Foster had the hardest men of the Doane team opposite them, and each man played a very creditable game. Stone showed up well in the second half, but had a big advantage in being fresh. The ends, Piatt and Games, were off color at the beginning of the game, but evened up matters in the second half. Games made several long end gains,
assisted by excellent interference. Hill played a magnificent game at quarter. His work was like lightning. He tackled finely, and was in every interference. Crooks went into the game at the last minute.
This table we will insert in place of detailing the game.

Gift of the Class of '90.
The class of 1890 of which Miss Sutliff is a member, at the time of their graduation, agreed among themselves that each member of the class should pay a dollar into the class treasury until a sufficient fund should be raised to present some worthy gift to the University. The result of this action has just been partly realized. The class has presented the Library with a fine set of ten portfolios of engravings;
masterpieces of French art, Imperial Edition, India paper proofs before letters limited to one thousand copies. The set contains the finest gems of art up to and including the salon of 1882. The work is published at Philadelphia by Gebbie & Co., of France, one of the most famous firms of engravers in the world. Each portfolio contains perhaps a dozen excellent photogravures after rare paintings and sculptures, and a number of wood cuts of masterpieces. Each selection is accompanied by a brief description and, explanation of it and each portfolio contains also a short sketch of the life and work of the different masters whose productions are represented in the portfolio.
Taken together the gift to the Library is a rare one and one of which the members of the class which presented it, and also all lovers of art in the University, have every reason to feel proud.
Prof. Dyche's Arctic Photographs.
E. S. Tucker, the University photographer has been working all week on Prof. Dyche's pictures of Arctic scenes, and has found them to be a fine collection. The professor took with him to Greenland nearly forty dozen dry plates, and out of this number Mr. Tucker believes he will be able to successfully develop over three hundred excellent pictures. This is remarkable, when the nearly insurmountable obstacles to successful photography in the Arctic regions are taken into consideration. Among the plates already developed is a large collection of walrus, which is said to be the only complete collection of pictures of the walrus in his native haunts, ever taken. These Prof. Dyche will use to illustrate a series of magazine articles which he is now writing. About two hundred of his views he expects to use in his lectures this winter. These lantern slides will include snap-shots of the walrus and seal in their native haunts, photographs of Arctic birds and also of the Esquimaux from both the highlands and the lowlands of Greenland. The Prof's. collection is a very valuable one, not only from a scientific but also a financial standpoint.

G. K. Gilbert.
Prof. G. K. Gilbert, chief geologist of the United States Geological Survey, lectured to a large audience in University hall Wednesday evening, on the subject, "Coon Butte, a Geological Puzzle," the lecture being illustrated by lantern views. Coon Butte is a large crater about two miles in circumference lying in a plain of sandstone and limestone formation in northern Arizona. The rim of the crater rises 200 feet above the plain and the interior drops 400 feet below that level. About the sides of the crater, the layers of limestone have been forced upward. As there is no trace of volcanic rock within several miles, it is certainly not the result of volcanic eruption. From the presence of a great amount of meteoric iron in the vicinity, it was thought that the crater might have been formed by a small star, but the quantity of iron was far too small to establish this theory. The most plausible explanation seems to be that the crater was formed by a tremendous explosion of steam, especially as similar craters have been formed by such explosions in recent years at other places. Still this does not account for the meteoric iron. Altogether, the matter forms a very interesting scientific puzzle.
Prof. Gilbert lectured under the auspices of the Sigma Xi society. He speaks in a very pleasant informal manner and kept his audience fully interested to the end.

Prof. Franklin has been spending his spare moments since the opening of school this fall in isolating the new elements Helium and Argon both of which were discovered last year.
He expects soon to deliver an address before the Science club with these elements as his subject.
During the absence of Prof. Bailey in Europe the department is in charge of Prof. Franklin. Prof. Franklin has the classes in Quantitative Analysis and General Chemistry and is assisted in the work of these classes by Mr. H. P. Cady. Mr. W. R. Crane has Prof. Bailey's class in Quantitative Analysis. Mr. W. M. Whitten a graduate of Ann Arbor in the class of '95, takes Mr. Leightons work Quantitative Analysis.
The department has recently received a $1,000 consignment of chemical apparatus directly from Berlin. This is the first time that the department has ordered its apparatus directly from Berlin, but everything was received in good order and this method of ordering has proven very satisfactory. The department is now occupying five rooms in the main building. One of these rooms is used by the class in Quantitative; another has been fitted up as a laboratory for the classes in organic chemistry a branch which has previously been without a laboratory, another room is used as a combustion room in organic analysis. Prof. Franklin uses one of the rooms as a private laboratory and the fifth is used as an assistants laboratory and balance room. On the whole the department is much better equipped than ever before in the history of the University.
Yale—Cambrldge.
The following account of the YaleCambridge meet at Manhattan field was clipped from a personal letter from Frank A Lutz to a member of the staff:
"The English were fine looking fellows while the Yale men were of medium height and not so broad across the shoulders nor as well muscled, but were well trained and made of the proper

kind of material to win medals. Out of eleven events the English won only three and one of those by a scratch. In the 100 yard race Yale won easily, and also in the 300 yard race, but in the $ \frac{1}{2} $ mile and mile race John Bull carried off the honors. In the quarter of a mile dash the English won by a line, but I think the race would have been Yale's if the contestants had run twenty feet more.
In the hurdle races the English also lost. It seems that the English are accustomed to running their hurdle races on turf while Yale as well as other American sprinters are accustomed to running on the cinder track in consequence of which there were two kinds of hurdle races. On the turf to suit the English, and one on the pavement to suit the Americans. It was expected that each would win at their own game, but Yale won both races.
In the broad jump Yale won with ease, also in putting the hammer and shot. One noticeable feature in the putting of the hammer was that Cambridge used a thirty-foot ring while Yale used only a ten foot ring.
Ten and one-fifth seconds was the time made in the one hundred yard race, and had it been necessary the Yale man could have made it in ten seconds. The whole thing was a one sided affair. Cambridge was out-classed from the start. Next year Yale will send representatives to England."
From Miss MacKinnon.
The following extract is taken from a private letter from Miss Annie L. MacKinnon, written from Weggis, near Luzern, Switzerland, Sept. 7th,'95.
"There has been here quite a party of K. S.U. people once K.S.U.always K.S.U., is it not so?—Prof. and Mrs.Bailey and son, and Prof.Nichols and family and myself make up the party. It has been a real pleasure to me to see some one direct from Lawrence and to talk over the University and its people.
"I am here with a student friend—also a mathematical young woman—for the sake of a change of life and scenery. We spend the forenoons in study and the afternoons in play.
We have rented rooms, and often congratulate ourselves that we can live here among these much visited lakes and mountains as inexpensively as in quiet, monotonous little Göttingen. Our windows and a little balcony (which is our special joy) overlook the lake and these beautiful mountains. I have been living my William Tell days over again—have seen the Tell chapel near Flüelin and also the one by the Hohle Gasse, and the new monument at Altdorf we visited on the day of its unveiling. Before settling down in Weggis we made a week's walking tour through the Berneroberland and Unterwalden, and since then we have had a number of shorter excursions."
On this last point, she says at another place: "There is one German custom which I particularly admire-it is the fashion of taking long walks, of going off into the country on foot, of climbing hills for the pleasure and healthfulness of it-and of doing this often and in all sorts of weather. I have some German friends and American friends with whom I indulge in this most delightful exercise. The poor K. S. U. hill which has been so often berated should have been in Germany to be appreciated."

THERE HAS been considerable complaint about the dollar admission fee at the Thanksgiving game. The management argue that the proceeds from this game should support the team for a year, and if they think that more than half the people who would pay fifty cents will pay one dollar, it is good business policy and we cannot object. It requires considerable money to support a foot-ball team, and if the people who attend the games can be made to furnish this money and thus obviate the necessity of contributions, let it be done. Those who cannot afford to go can stay at
home. None one should go to the Thanksgiving game unless he has plenty of spending money. Other games are supposed to be held on the home grounds of one team or the other and it need cost one nothing but the admission fee. But on Thanksgiving we go to the city to have a big time, see the sights, blow in our money and come home bankrupt. And if our surplus is so low that we must think a second time before expending an extra fifty cents at the gate we had better remain at home.
PROF. HODDER'S paper on "The Making of Kansas," read before the Historical Seminary, attracted considerable attention. It is a topic in which nearly everyone should feel an interest; especially as a large part of the "making" took place upon ground within sight from the summit of Mt. Oread. It would be quite a pleasant undertaking for some one to search out and describe the historic landmarks about Lawrence and the results could be made quite entertaining and profitable for others. The columns of the WEEKLY are open to such contributions.
WE HAVE defeated Nebraska, we are glad of it and take pleasure in saying so. Our eleven may march up the street in the middle of the night, singing "Nobody knows how bad we are," but this is only a fiction. There are several people known to be in the secret. But the question now arises,—how "bad" are our orators in debate? Our rivals our training hard for the contest next spring and they would be exceeding glad to set a victory of brains against our victory of brawn. We defeated them last spring however, and we can do it again if we work hard enough. Those who intend to try for the "Varsity" must attend practice regularly in

some of the societies. A new society may be organized before December 1st if desired. All who are interested should come out to form second elevens and help train the leaders. Now is the best season for the work and everyone should help, that we may score another "8 to 4" next May.
WE HAVE heard of but one Senior class meeting this term. The class of '96 are missing a large part of the pleasure of being Seniors. If they will begin now by meeting once or twice a week they will be in good form by next spring to hold daily sessions with committees between times. If each class is to be greater than all before, the standard must naturally continue to rise. And some of the old classes no not propose to rest on their under-graduate record. The class of '90 has just added to the small
store of art works in the University a collection which will be one of our chief treasures and we hope the gift will spur the other classes to a generous rivalry. '96 should be laying plans. Whatever they do should be with the purpose of leaving to the University something of permanent value. First of all, they must have money, and while they are considering ways and means, let us offer a word of warning, gathered from the costly experience of our own immortal class and of others. Beware the annual! It doth much cost and little returneth it unto the class treasury. The purchaser taketh it that he may be freed from the seller and tomorrow he maketh a fire of it. The printer and the class jester—they alone advocate the annual. Beware their counsel! Let '96 follow the money getting schemes, for with money they can do great things.

College Fraternities.
[Portions of a paper read before the Old and New Club of Lawrence.]
The avowed object of all college fraternities is essentially the same—mutual improvement. There is probably very little variation also in the statement of the direction in which this mutual improvement is to be pursued. It is to be moral, mental and social; mutual helpfulness in building up character and achieving excellence in scholarship are invariably put before mere amusement and social gratification. In the case of some of these societies the purpose is furthermore distinctly announced of working for the credit and advancement of the institution in which the fraternity exists.
For the purpose of advancing these aims the young people in a fraternity band themselves together by solemn pledges and more or less childish mummery, which latter is in theory to heighten the solemnity of the pledges, into an organization whose meetings are strictly private and whose membership is recognized by means of secret grip and pass words.
Whether plainly expressed or not, the object of most organizations among students is probably the same as that of these fraternities, and it is therefore of importance to note carefully the points in which the fraternity differs from an open society or any spontaneous grouping of students called together by harmony of tastes. In the first place, though not necessarily of the greatest importance, there are the elements of secrecy, the interpretation of the name and motto of the society, the grip and the pass-word; secondly, the fraternity differs from the open society in the more limited nature of its membership, the greater deliberation with which new members are selected, the permanence which it is attempted to give to this membership, and lastly the connection of the local chapter with the chapters of the same fraternity in other universities.
It will be generally conceded that the purposes of the fraternities, as of the open literary society and of the unorganized group of students, are good. It is likewise generally con-

ceded that there are certain serious evils connected with the fraternity system, whether unavoidable or not is a subjet for discussion. But in view of these good purposes it is a serious matter for those in charge of educational institutions, or having the welfare of these institutions at heart, to ascertain if possible whether the secret elements of the fraternity are responsible for the evils, and to consider whether the evils can be mitigated or abolished either with or without the abolition of the secret element; or, finally, if it be admitted that the evils are inevitable, whether they are so serious as to make the abolition of the fraternities desirable, and still further, whether if desirable this abolition is feasible.
It is a noteworthy fact in connection with the history of several of the fraternities existing at this University that they have been founded by young people of excellent character, high scholarship and laudable purposes but that in the course of a few years the character of their membership has changed for the worse and the high purposes have degenerated into boyish sportiveness or something more harmful. An examination into the causes of this degeneracy may throw some light upon the evils attaching to the whole system. In the case of two of these fraternities I have talked over the matter with some of the charter members and these points seem to be admitted: that the young men who founded the fraternity derived mutual benefit from their close association, and if the group could have remained of the same character as in the first place there seems to be no reason why the tone of the fraternity should not have remained what it was in the beginning and its results beneficial for its members and the University. I have asked these charter members, where, then, was the flaw in their methods. Their answers have given two or three important points. "We were too hasty in the selection of new members; we allowed the spirit of competition to drive us rather than guiding ourselves by our own judgment; and in determining upon candidates for admission to the fraternity we allowed ourselves to be influenced by unsafe considerations, among them: the urgency of certain of our members who made the appeal for the candidate on personal grounds; taking into consideration the candidate's relationship to an existing member or the social or financial standing of his parents; waiving objections to the fitness of the candidate on the theory that the existing membership was sufficiently strong in character or steady in habits to over-weigh and correct what was recognized as a weakness or a fault in the candidate." When asked what suggestion could be made for the cure of these mistakes, one remedy had unanimous approval, to wit: the postponement of the time of determining upon the candidates, either to the end of the first term or until the close of the first year. I have asked representatives of several fraternities what they thought would be the effect on any single fraternity of adopting and carrying out a rule against the selection and admission of new members until they had been in the University at least one year. The reply given me has generally been at first a dubious shake of the head with a remark that the fraternity could hardly stand it, but after a little reflection it has been added that the result would in the end be beneficial to the fraternity. If the members of a fraternity adopting such a rule, presuming that they were men of fair ability to start with, should devote themselves strictly to making the best use of their time in the University thus securing for their fraternity a record for scholarship and good behavior, as well as to the more immediate purposes of the fraternity, companionship and mutual helpfulness, while at the same time it was known that new members were not admitted to this fraternity until after a year's experience in the University, I have no doubt that this fraternity could stand it; not only could stand it but would in a short time have a reputation such that any earnest serious student who was disposed at all to join a fraternity would willingly resist all blandishments of other societies to secure him at an earlier time.
Presuming that decent time and due deliberation precede the selection of a member, it remains to consider the influences that work to
210

secure, nevertheless, the introduction of undesirable men. The objections of an old member are often waived on the ground of relationship, old friendship, social standing and the appeal to the possibility of overcoming the objectionable quality. Sober judgment is almost unanimous in maintaining that none of these appeals should be listened to, providing the objection is really a serious one and one that would be valid under other circumstances. I know no way of obviating the difficulties arising under these heads except by impressing upon members of fraternities and urging within the fraternity the general recognition of the principle that the considerations above mentioned should not be allowed to secure the admission of a member as against an objection based on a serious defect in character or lack of qualities in harmony with the majority of the fraternity. Only the last consideration, the appeal to the hope of benefitting the candidate and overcoming the defect in question seems to claim more serious consideration. Everyone will recognize in the discussion of this question that there is a difference between persons of mature and settled character and those whose character is in a formative stage. Children are scarcely to be trusted as missionaries, on the ground of benefitting others' character, in associating with those who may have serious yet seductive defects in character. Young men and women in the years given to college and university life have uot always settled characters and may justly be treated, at least in a measure, as children, and may also justly and properly treat themselves as children in making rules for the guidance of their conduct. Again it is not by any means clear that the rules that apply to the relations of two individuals must be applicable to individuals when grouped together in societies.
I am inclined to say that it is not safe for a fraternity or any organization of the same character to admit to its membership one who is not known to have good sound principles. He may have disagreeable qualities to a limited degree; he may have some serious weakness approximating a vice, and yet if he be known
to recognize this defect and to deprecate it,it may be wise for the members of a society to admit him to membership with the hope of helping him overcome it. But if he is known to approve of or practice habitually and deliberately anything which the best conscience of the day regards as morally wrong,he is not a safe person to be admitted to the membership of a society whose avowed purpose is mutual helpfulness; and even though such exclusion is selfish, I believe it is essential to the existence of such societies and the fulfillment of their purposes.
The evils attaching to the fraternity in connection with a University are chiefly a tendency to mischief and questionable pranks somewhat stronger or at least somewhat more aggressive among fraternity members than that among the body of non-fraternity students; an unwarranted participation in college politics leading to waste of time and sometimes to the thwarting of the selection of the best student officers; and lastly an over indulgence in social dissipation. Of these evils our experience of the last few years shows that the last two, the overindulgence in politics and social dissipation, are not restricted to the fraternity organizations and therefore cannot be said to be the product of the fraternities, at least not altogether. There is no doubt that the fraternities have been leaders in both these unhappy indulgences and that the loss to scholarship and high standing in the University resulting is in a measure to be laid at their door. It is certainly true that some of the dissipation that has come to the notice of the University officials has been indulged in by other than fraternity students, and the most audacious gambler known here among the students was a 'barb.' Nevertheless it is fair to recognize what I have said above: that the secrecy of the fraternity affords an easy cover to these dangerous practices whenever they happen to take root among the members, and those who have this matter to consider must weigh the question whether, and to what degree, an antidote may be found.
A great responsibility for the character and

conduct of the student lies upon the management of an educational institution, and will always lie, no matter to what extent the students grow out of the old clanishness of the middle ages and the tutelage of the academy, and approximate the method of life of ordinary civilized humanity. If unfortunate tendencies are evident, it is plainly the duty of the University authorities to do anything in their power to correct these tendencies. If the tone of student life is not clean and high, the management must feel that it has in some way failed to accomplish one of its chief purposes. If it is within the power of the management of an institution to do anything to counteract the dangers connected with the fraternity system, there can be no hesitation in declaring that this power should be exercised.
Either fraternities should be recognized as of themselves and on the whole, vicious, and accordingly condemned, and all reasonable measures taken for their suppression, or they should be recognized as permanent constituents of University life, their position and standing defined and the principles laid down which should govern the relation of the management to them. So long as it does not seem probable that the first position is to be taken, and I am frank to say that I am not ready to take it myself, the second should be adopted. Every fraternity in the University as well as every other society should be required to keep on file and up to date a list of its members and its officers. New students should be advised against joining any fraternity during their first year of residence at least, and parents and students should be advised to consult with the management of the University regarding the standing of any organization which the student contemplates joining. In the case the standing of a fraternity, or of the members of a fraternity, becomes notoriously low, the national officers of the fraternity should be notified of this fact and requested to recall the charter of the chapter; the local members should be notified of the way in which they are regarded, and forbidden to enroll new members and public warning be given against it to new students.
The officers and older members of each fraternity should be impressed with their responsibility for the behavior and standing of their members, should be admonished whenever their members fall into discredit in conduct or scholarship and warned of the possible consequences to the fraternity. On the other hand, they should be made to feel that the good name and growth of the University depends in a measure on their conduct, and led to direct their energies on occasion to helpful work for the institution. Admonition should not be withheld when needed regarding the over-indulgence in society, and by advice, if not by command, the rule against the admission of Freshmen, and against participation in college elections by the fraternity as such might be secured.
We have had in the University from time to time groups of students who have associated themselves spontaneously for, I venture to say, the same aims as those professed by a fraternity, though the aims have perhaps not always been stated expressly. These groups have had definite and limited membership, meeting privately at the rooms of the members, have taken in new members, and existed past the life of at least one student generation. They have not admitted outsiders to their meetings, and in a few instances at least they have taken part as a group in college political contests. I have asked myself, how, if at all, such a group differs from a fraternity. I can conceive that the members of such a group recognizing the benefit and pleasure that they have derived from it could well wish that it should continue, and as in one case the group did last over into a second generation I do not see any reason, if due care were exercised in the admission of new members, why the group should not have continued its existence. On the other hand, I can conceive that a fraternity, formed at the beginning of members whose tastes and character were thoroughly compatible, should keep free from the feeling that numbers had any significance for their purposes, should continue to select only such members as seem to them thoroughly compatible, continue to act on the

fine and high principles and motives that had originally brought them together, and thus be a blessing and a joy forever to the members as well as to the University. Relative differences among the fraternities in the University show that this ideal of a fraternity may be approximated. With care and advice and supervision as I have indicated on the part of the management of the institution, neither treating the fraternities as Ishmaelites unless they have deserved it by their conduct, nor giving them too great prominence in college life, the existing fraternities might be made to approach much nearer than they do to this ideal.

ATHLETICS.
Nebraska is Ours Too.
It was the general opinion of veteran football authorities that a more exciting, or more stubbornly contested foot-ball game was never seen in the west than the Kansas-Nebraska game at Lincoln Saturday.
It was a magnificent victory for the Jayhawkers, and even the Nebraska rooters applauded the work of the Kansas boys, after the game however.
There was doubt and fear in the minds of everybody when it was announced that Hester, Games and Crooks were left at home. The boys fully realized that the team was greatly weakened, but the Nebraska players would never have surmised the condition of affairs from the conduct of the Jayhawkers. They went at the conquerors of the Missouri Tigers in a fierce determined way, they could not resist. The Nebraska team played gallantly but they could not hold out. They were out-trained and out-played.
Owing to the changed positions of the backs, Kansas game was necessarily individual, and every man played his position nobly and Outland's work was the feature of the game. He was run time after time with the ball but never faltered. Stone played his first game at end in brilliant style. He made several good gains around right end, and broke up Nebraska's interference well. Burney put up his usual hard, plucky, game. He played end, half, and full, and went through the entire game with a boil
on his knee. Kennedy played a pretty game at quarter. His passing the ball was quick and accurate, and he tackled well. The lines were all matched, and the boys made a gallant fight.

THE GAME IN DETAIL.
Captain Wilson won the toss, and took the west goal, Kansas taking the ball with a strong wind blowing against her. Williamson baffled the wind for a forty-yard kick, and the ball was returned ten yards by Hayward. Nebraska tried right and left tackle for two and threeyard gains, then lost on a fumble. Williamson went through center for two yards. Outland added three over right tackle and three more over right guard. Williamson and Hamill then went against the line, but failed to make the required five yards, and Nebraska took the ball. Shedd wiggled five yards through right tackle and Jones made ten yards between guard and center. King tried Hamill and lost two yards, and Fair failed again by Griffiths. Spooner who played full back on the defensive, was forced to punt. The ball went low, and Outland got it. Kansas then started in earnest

for the Nebraska goal. Outland, Gump, Burney and Williamson by short dashes carried the ball to the ten-yard line. It looked like a sure down for Kansas, when the ball went to Nebraska on an off-side play. Nebraska now began a terrible assault on the Kansas line, and in five plays gained thirty yards, right through the line, Shedd making fifteen of the distance. Spooner punted thirty yards, and Thorp tackled Hill, who was waiting for the kick, which allowed Jones to take the ball.
After short gains, Whipple went over center for ten yards, but fumbled to Burney. The ball was now on Kansas ten-yard line. Kansas shoved the ball fifteen yards further from her goal, when the ball changed hands on downs. Whipple pushed the pigskin ten yards into Kansas territory. Fair fumbled and Hamill got the ball. Hamill pushed the left tackle for one yard, Williamson punted thirty yards and then retired, Burney going to half and Stone to end. In eight plays Nebraska bruised the Kansas line for thirty-five yards. With the ball again on her ten-yard line, Kansas took a brace, and held the Nebraska boys for three downs. Stone went around right end cleverly for fifteen yards. To gain on the third down Stone took five yards on the same end. Hamill and Griffith gained only two yards, then Burney fumbled for a loss of ten yards. Wiggins went by Piatt for ten yards, and was pulled down by Pope. Nebraska then tried the criss-cross on which she lost ten yards. With fifteen yards to gain, Shedd made a splendid run around right end for eighteen yards aided by good interference. For the third time Nebraska had forced the ball to Kansas' ten-yard line. On the first buck at the line, Kansas took the ball on a fumble, and Nebraska lost her chance to score. Griffith made two yards at right guard. Outland took the ball fifteen yards around right end and time was called.
Gump retired after the first half. He was not in condition and was not playing the game he did against Doane.
Hill went to full, and Kennedy took his place at quarter.
At the beginning of the second half it was
anybody's game, but with the team all changed, and twisted, the Jay-hawkers went at it as if they had the first team back of them. Fair kicked forty yards. Outland returned ten yards. The ball went to Nebraska on downs. Shedd made fifteen yards around right end and was downed by Pope. On a missing of signal quarter, Spooner started with the ball and Kansas took the ball on the play. With the ball on fifteen yard line, Stone went twelve yards through tackle. Outland made eight and Burney six yards, through the same place, between Pope and Hamill. The Jayhawkers then started a rapid pace the Nebraska boys could not resist. By short gains through the line by Outland, Burney, Stone and Hill assisted by a twelve yard gain by Stone through Pope, and fifteen yards by Outland around right end, the ball was carried across the field to Nebraska's ten yard line. Outland then went around right end for eight yards, and followed it up by two yards around the same for a down. On the kick out Kansas missed the ball, so there was no chance to kick a goal. Nebraska kicked forty yards. Outland returned fifteen yards. The ball went to Nebraska on downs. The ball was on Kansas' thirty yard line. In ten plays the Nebraskans carried the ball to the seven yard line. Six of the plays were directed against Foster. The gains were small. On an off side play Nebraska was given one-half the distance.
The ball was within two and one-half yards of the Kansas line. Here the Kansas men made a stand that is seldom equalled on any gridiron. Three times Nebraska went against Foster, and made in the three plays only one and one-half yards. The ball was Kansas on downs, and within a yard of her goal line. Outland made one-half yard over center. Burney made two yards over Foster. Kansas then made a mistake in punting the ball, which was blocked and pounced upon by a Nebraska player. Had Hill touched the ball behind the line, the play would have been a safety and only two points scored. Two thousand people watched breathlessly at the kick for the goal. Shedd missed and the score was 4 to 4. Out-

land kicked thirty-five yards, Fair returned ten yards, but on the tackle Fair fumbled the ball. There were six minutes to play. The Kansans played like a whirlwind. Outland made ten over left guard. Burney tried center for one yard. Stone gained one-half yard over right guard, then Outland went around right end for ten yards. Hill followed by a pretty run for fifteen yards around left end. With the ball on the five-yard line, Stone lost two yards. Out-
land made no gain against right tackle. Outland was given the ball again and carried it around right end for a down and the game was won. Time, 51/2 minutes. Outland missed goal. Score-Kansas, 8; Nebraska,4. Outland kicked off thirty-five yards. Piatt returned the ball twenty-five yards. Outland gained two yards at right end, and Burney paid his respects to center for twelve yards, when time was called.

"A thief! A thief!" is uttered daily in the University halls. Some person or persons are helping themselves to various things belonging to other people.

The Local Editor's Vision.
While one night at 10 or later,
We were busy on our "Paper"
Writing notes of every nature,
Local notes of Oread, —
As we sat in deep reflection,
Thinking where to make correction,
Suddenly appeared a section
Of the issue, marked in red,—
"Well, how's this!" said we, half frightened,
"Are you here to help enlighten
Us in composition, poor?"
Perhaps it murmured, 'nevermore.'
Then we scanned the section closer,
(We thought ourselves a fair composer)
And found that we had struck a roaster,--
Every line was red as gore—
"Who, this critic, sage and solemn,
That dares assail our local column,
As if he were a William Cullen,
William Cullen as of yore?
'Tis some English class," we muttered
"Fresh-Fresh-Freshman class we stuttered
"Only Freshmen,-nothing more."

ONE OF the best things spoken last Friday afternoon was this sentence by Regent Scott: "It is a magnificent thing to see a great institution of learning founded by the generosity of one rich man, but it is a more magnificent thing to see a great institution built up by the self-imposed taxation of a whole people."
It was quite appropriate that the dedication of our new Physics Building should occur so near Thanksgiving. The Univerity now has one of the best buildings in the country for that department of work, planned and constructed after the most approved modern ideas and equipped with every convenience. Not only may instruction now be given most advantageously, but there are rooms to be fitted up as laboratories in which to conduct original research. With its excellent material equipment and under the directorship of Prof. Blake, the Electrical Engineering Department of Kansas University will easily be the leading school of its kind in the West.
ON NEXT Friday and Saturday, December 6th and 7th,the Kansas Reform Editorial Association will hold its annual meeting in Lawrence. We hope that students personally acquainted with any of the visitors will join with the authorities in seeing that they are well entertained while here, and that the time they may be able to spend on the hill shall be made as pleasant and profitable for them as possible.
WILL WHITE seems unable to rid himself of the soreness resulting from that Emporia football game. Last week he sought relief by saying all the mean things he had heard or could invent about the Kansas Uuniversity team in general and Captain Piatt in particular, printing an alleged picture of the latter as a crowning insult. Poor man! He believes it necessary to disown the friends of his earlier days in order to make a few dollars from the patronage of the college students at Emporia.
THE DEDICATION of the new Physics Building gives opportunity for a word about the progress of the University, which opened not so many years ago in North College with only three instructors. Now there are eight buildings in use and the faculty numbers over fifty. The attendance is increasing so rapidly that within

a year we expect to see it reach the one thousand mark. A great many students come here this year from other institutions of higher learning in Kansas and the neighboring states, recognizing the greater advantages offered in the way of equipment and instruction. The Extension Lectures have given many people of the state a direct acquaintance with the University. The graduates of Kansas University are its advertisement in every part of the state; they are appearing in business and professional life, in public office, in the legislature—two of them are on the Board of Regents; they control some of the leading newspapers of the State; sixty of them are principals and teachers in our High Schools. Outside the State in nearly all the great Universities of the East our alumni are winning honors for Kansas; some few are professors in other colleges; nearly every year finds one or two pursuing their studies in Europe. The scientific expeditions of the
University attract attention from all over the country; by their success our men are gaining for themselves and for the institution a national reputation. And of this we are most pleasantly reminded by the many congratulatory letters received by Chancellor Snow on the present occasion from the most prominent educators in all parts of the country.
THE NEW engineering building at the State University will be dedicated this week. Kansas University is the only institution in the west where electrical engineering, the greatest of all sciences, can be thoroughly studied.-Hutchinson News.
SUCH PARAGRAPHS as this appear in the News quite frequently since the change of proprietors. W. Y. Morgan,'85, is the new editor and we hope to see Reno County send a much larger representation to the University next year as a result of his work.

The Evolution of Miss Smith, Freshman.
Miss Smith was very young. To be sure that is not a particularly distinguishing quality. Most of the men she knew were painfully young, although it was impossible to make them feel it; they were irrepressible, after the manner of very youthful fellows. They were, to tell the truth, college men, (which explains everything) and she was a college girl. By the way, it was the same college, for her father believed in co-education.
Miss Smith did not have the least idea that she was young, she thought seventeen quite an advanced age. She had been doing up her hair and wearing long dresses for almost a year now, and she had been going out in Smithville society fully that long. To be sure society in Smithville was rather primitive. She had felt this vaguely, always, but she was positively certain of it after she had entered college.
The annual visits of the Glee Club to her native town had partly prepared Miss Smith for the very "swell" society of the University. The year before she entered college, it had been her privilege to attend the reception which was always given the club, and which was by far, the most important social function of the season in Smithville. She had had a new gown for the occasion, and had been much impressed by a sense of her own importance until she met some of those much talked of college men, when she quite forgot herself in her awe of them.
From that time it was the dream of Miss Smith's life not only "to go off to school" but to that school in particular. She had the most extravagant ideas of University society. She was certain that it must be very "swagger" indeed. All the Glee Club boys wore dress-suits and parted their hair in the middle, and the

sight of so much grandeur put wildly ambitious thoughts into Miss Smith's pretty little head. She thought it would be rather indelicate to say anything about the dress suits, (only one boy in Smithville possessed one,) but she did try to persuade Charlie Cairudish, who was "going with her" at the time, to part his hair in the middle. Charlie was a dry goods clerk. He had attended a Business Academy for one term, where he had learned to write a "beautiful hand" with heavy shading and elaborate flourishes, but he had never gone to college, and he could not sufficiently express his scorn and contempt for the Glee Club boys. Part his hair in the middle? Not if he knew himself! He didn't have to balance his brains that way! This last was a favorite joke with the Smithville boys. It went the rounds regularly every year after the Glee Club concert. It did not, however, appeal to the girls' sense of humor. They most unreasonably accused the boys of jealousy.
For a long time after the Glee Club had visited town, Miss Smith was not quite the same to Charlie Caerudish. Visions of the handsome first tenor, and memories of the compliments he had paid her on her appearance and dancing floated through her mind for months. She was inclined to think that he was a little wild. She had heard that all college men are apt to be rather wicked, and this idea was further strengthened by the fact that all the Glee Club smoked cigarettes. Well, to be sure, Charlie smoked cigarettes sometimes, too, but she often thought that he did it more for the effect of his depravity on her than for any other reason, Charlie did love to have her lecture him.
It was the next year that Miss Smith entered the University, and had the full benefit of that society of which she had heard and dreamed so much. It fulfilled her highest expectations. Circumstances united with her natural attractiveness to make her very popular. She was invited everywhere, and had hosts of callers. She was thoroughly delighted, and was young enough and new enough to show her delight. Decidedly, Miss Smith was a Freshman.
Then too, the boys did not disappoint her
with regard to their wickedness. She heard terrible stories about their pranks and escapades and before the close of the first term one of the men that she knew best of all, was expelled from the University. Miss Smith wasted a good deal of sympathy on him. Of course it was very wrong of him to do so—just think! He had gone home in an irresponsible condition on two different occasions!—Still—Why is it that women, if they do not admire, at least excuse such total depravity in men?
Toward the close of her Freshman year Miss Smith had a very thrilling experience. She fell in love with Jack Burroughs, who was a Senior Law, lion of polite circles and leader of the German. He also sang with the Glee Club, had a magnificent tenor voice—and had something to do with athletics. Let me see, was it foot-ball, O! no, fifth stroke of the 'Varsity Eight; and he was simply entrancing in boating flannels! And when you add to all these charms the fact that he had the most blasé air imaginable, was supposed to be thoroughly experienced, and that all the other girls were madly in love with him, it is no wonder that poor little Miss Smith, Freshman, fell an easy victim to his charms.
Of course all the other girls knew all the time that Burroughs was only flirting with her. They had predicted all along that he'd encourage her to fall desperately in love with him and then coolly "drop" her. Well, if she was such an idiot as to believe everything that a man, and especially a University man, said to her, why, she could, that was all! They guessed she was old enough to take care of herself. It was none of their business! But they had forgotten that Miss Smith was a Freshman!
When her first serious love affair came to the sad and untimely end which her dear girl friends had predicted, Miss Smith was completely crushed. She was too inexperienced to know that she would survive her disappointment, and that it make her a little harder and a little more worldly-wise for the future. It was some time before she could bring herself to a realization of the truth—that Burroughs had never cared for her in spite of all that he had said and done,
230
Kansas University Weekly.
that he had only flirted with her, and he was engaged to be married to That Other Girl. But when it finally came to her with its inevitable shame and humiliation, poor little Miss Smith was sure that her heart was broken. It made her really quite ill, and as it all happened during the very last weeks of school term, she went home early and buried herself and her grief in the unbroken quite of Smithville. She was popularly supposed to have worked too hard and won a great deal of sympathy on account of this general impression. But she languished all summer long, taking small comfort from Charlie's devotion, and even failing to evince any especial delight when he so far forgot his pride and the independent ideals of the "counter-jumper" as to part his hair in the middle.
There are three stages in recovery from the effects of a love affair which ends as did Miss Smith's—real grief, which does not last long, intense humiliation, which is hardest of all, and the desire for revenge. When the vacation was over and it was time to return to college, Miss Smith had passed bravely through the first two of these stages and was in the third. She came back to the University a sadder and a wiser girl. Miss Smith was a Sophomore.
It is not my intention to follow her through the four years of her college career, but to relieve your suspense I will assure you that Miss Smith's heart was not broken by Burrough's faithlessness. The fact is, I heard the other day, that while she has lost much of that innocent naivete which charmed the older fellows when she was a Freshmen, she has gained in its place that cool indifference and calm composure which are the natural characteristics of Seniors, and which are so dangerously fascinating to susceptible and ingenuous under-graduates. It was one of the latter class, Phil Marston, with whom she had such a serious case during the latter part of her Junior year, and who was so terribly cut up when she threw him over for Brooks, the irresistible full back of the Varsity eleven, with the beautiful chrysanthemum hair.
Miss Smith was a credulous Freshmen no longer. She had added besides four years to her age about twice that number to her worldly wisdom and experience. She is even tempted in her most wildly daring moments to suspect that the college men are not really the most wicked in the world after all, and she has long since passed that stage when her heart could be made to flutter at the sight of a blasé Sophomore of nineteen years. All of which goes to prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that Miss Smith is a Senior.

Dutch Lullaby.
Wynken, Blyken and Nod one night Sailed off in a wooden shoe— Sailed on a river of chrystal light Into a sea of dew. "Where are you going and what do you wish?" The old man asked the three. "We have come to fish for the herring fish That live in the beautiful sea; Nets of silver and gold have we, Said Wynken, Blynken and Nod.
The old moon laughed and sang a song,
As they rocked in the wooden shoe.
And the wind that sped them all night long
Ruffled the waves of dew.
The little stars were the herring fish
That lived in that beautiful sea.
Now cast your net wherever you wish—
Never afear are we,
So cried the stars to the fisherman three

And some folks thought 'twas a dream they'd Of sailing that beautiful sea; [dreamed But I shall name you the fisherman three, Wynken, Blynken and Nod.
Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes And Nod is a little head, And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies Is a wee one's trundle bed;

Dedication Exercises.
The dedication of the new Physics Building took place in University Hall last Friday afternoon. After the Chancellor's introductory statement, Prof. A. A. Michelson, of the University of Chicago, gave a very interesting and original address on "Object and Methods of Physical Science." Hon. S. A. Riggs made a few remarks from the citizen standpoint, in the course of which he showed how Kansas leads the list in having a constitutional provision for a State University. Jno. Seaton, President of the Board of Public Works, presented the keys with an appropriate talk, which in acceptance was responded to by Chas. F. Scott, Secretary of the Board of Regents. The University Orchestra made its first public appearance and rendered a very fine overture. The Chorus of 32 voices under Prof. Penny's direction merited applause and helped to make the time pass away very pleasantly.
Language Conference.
At the last meeting of the Language Conference, November 15, the subjects on the program were Keats and Eugen Field,—the centenary anniversary of the formers birth having occured October 29.
Miss Lucinda Smith read a paper on Keats' Life and Work. Spencer exerted a greater influence over him than any other writer. Keats' first volume was published in 1817; he was severely criticised on the publication of Endymion, but this only spurred him to greater efforts. His best work was done between 1818 and 1820. Keat's love for beauty was intellectual rather than sensual; he had an unerring
instinct for the poetic uses of things. In his ideas he shows great sense of form and proportion.
Miss Shire then read a paper on Keats and his Reviews. Blackwood's Magazine made a virulent and personal criticism on Endymion, calling it "incongruous ideas in uncouth language." The Quarterly also attacked him. Some of the attacks on his prosody were not unjustified. Keats' friends rallied to his aid and defended him in some of the principal magazines. The story that he was driven to death by the virulence of the reviews was totally unjustified.
Prof. Wilcox next read the Ode on a Grecian Urn, followed by Mr. Jones with the Ode to a Nightingale. This was followed by a short discussion of the poet. Owing to a lack of time the discussion of Eugene Field was postponed.
