more than willing to give their support to this paper. The college publication must depend largely upon the advertising in its columns, hence you can see how your favoring our advertisers will materially strengthen the WEEKLY.
NOTWITHSTANDING the importance of some personages that strut around the halls, even though it don't appear in their gigantic, elephantine brains that their presence is necessary to the continuance of the University and that the faculty be OUT, it is very probable that the faculty is needed on Mount Oread to run the University. And will continue there long after such characters have been buried in the depths of oblivion.
WE ARE pleased to clip such editorials as the following from the magazines to which our Professors contribute:
"Astronomy in High Schools, the article which is the leader for this month is full of excellent suggestions. It will be sent to thousands of teachers in the High Schools of the United States. Professor E. Miller, of University of Kansas, has done the cause great service." Popular Astronomy.
THERE is an adage among a certain class of professional men something like this "beware of the first callers." In college life there are a few who will rush in to make the acquaintance of every new comer, but who at the end of six months are only casual acquaintances. Then there are those who are slow to form your acquaintance-perhaps through timidity or a natural reticence—who will prove on closer acquaintance to be delightful associates and who may become life-long friends. Do not form too hasty friendships; choose your friends with the utmost care. Every life takes on

something of the nature of those with whom it comes in contact. Therefore choose carefully for friends, those whose aims are high, whose lives are clean, whose motives pure and you cannot have a more elevated nature. Be careful that you exert over your friends an influence that will not lead to infamy.
The press—University and general, the Faculty and students, the Alumni—in and outside of Lawrence have all remembered us with kind words of commendation and approval. This is very gratifying. Praise is a great stimulus, and the whole WEEKLY force, from the Editor-in-chief down to the printer's devil, is peculiarly sensitive to it. But, we can't live on praise. Your words of approbation, while they may fill our minds with vanity will never fill the columns of the WEEKLY with readable matter. Don't wait until some one of the department editors "drums" you up and "pumps" the news out of you, but gush forth (pardon the poetry of the thought) like perennial spring. Dont wait untill a "writ of mandamus" is served upon you, before you contribute,—but come right into our sanctum sanctorum with your literary article in one hand and a "writ of habeas corpus" in the other; you will immediately be convicted of having done a generous deed, and your article will be bound over to wait the next appearance of the WEEKLY.
THE FOOT-BALL season closes with a neat sum in the treasury. It is hoped that the lesson taught by the past years experience will not be forgotten. It is quite amusing how the illustrious politicians—peace to their ashes—were startled by the alarming facts that the Athletic Association occasionally entertained the opinions of the members of the faculty; that there had even been certain professors and certain employees of the Uuniversity, office holders, etc. A straight student ticket was elected. The treasurer's advice was not heeded. The suggestions of the members of the faculty were not taken into consideration—and, when the association meets the following fall the treasury
is empty and things are muddled generally. Subscription papers must be circulated among the business men of Lawrence, among the students, and, oh! yes, the faculty, good kind souls, was first asked to contribute. It was their duty to help out a University Organization. Oh! it was even thought well to elect a professor president. Yes, it would do in the face of bankruptcy to have a member of the faculty chairman of the auditing committee. And, why, yes, the University Treasurer will aid in the management even though it has proved a most thankless job in the past.
"The student stands at the place of power. His hand is on the long arm of the lever. A slight pressure here appears yonder as a resistless force. I repeat, if the college student whose heart is right keeps his fingers on the springs of power during the significant years of his academic life he may die on the day of his graduation and yet have accomplished vastly more than the unambitious companion of his youth who lives three-score years on a plane where high opportunity never comes." President John, of De Pauw.
Friday evening 23rd the Board of Regents met and chose Mr. D. H. Holmes to occupy the chair of Latin Language and Literature, with the title of Associate Professor. At Ohio Wesleyan he was four years a fellow student of Prof.C.G.Dunlap and Prof.H.B.Newson.

WRITTEN FOR THE WORLD.
Post-mortems on a foot ball game are not usually of much interest to the general public, which for the most part cares simply who won, and not how. Yesterday's game, however, may be said to have been one of the closest ever played on any "gridiron." Seldom are two teams pitted against each other so evenly matched in science, training, weight and determination. So close was the contest that today there are men, who personally have no sympathies either way, who say that were the two teams to play again, they would bet on Kansas.
Missouri's strength lay in her line, while that of Kansas lay in her backs, who, as a whole outclassed those of Missouri, especially before Hester and Outland were compelled to retire. In fact Kansas can attribute her defeat to the loss of these two men, as had they remained in, the "crimson" could hardly have failed of a touchdown in the last half, which

would probably have yielded a goal, as Hester was kicking in good form. Kansas could do but little with the Tiger's line, as the halves backed up the tackles, a new style of defense which Missouri has never attempted before. Williamson, however, got through for a pretty twenty yard run, which was one of the great plays of the day.
Indeed, the style of play of the two teams was almost opposite. The Tigers made their gains through Kansas line, while end runs were blocked by the Jayhawkers, proving of little success to the Missouri team. Owing to a change in the defensive play of the Tigers the Kansans found the Missouri line nearly invincible and were forced to rely on end gains. The condition of the grounds was opposed to fast running, so Kansas splendid interference had little opportunity to assert itself.
Bliss' change of defensive play was a master stroke, and it is safe to say saved the day to the Tigers. He knew Kansas style of bucking. It was to call on a man in the line to make a hole, and then send one of the backs without a man before him, to gain through the hole. Bliss took his half backs out of the line, the common line-up on defenfensive play, and placed them just behind tackle and guard, so that when a Kansas guard or tackle was called upon to make a hole, even if he got his man out of the play, the Missouri half-back filled the gap, and the Kansas player was blocked. This showed the Kansas line to poor advantage. There was little punting of the ball during the first half, but in the second part of the game exchange punts were frequent. There were few tricks introduced. Each team had one which was used often, and with good success. The Missouri boys found that the Jayhawkers did not stop the fake kick, and made several good gains on the play. On the other hand the Kansas boys made ground as often on a feint on the line and double pass. On this play they scored their only touchdown. Outland started for the center, and just as he reached the line passed the ball to Hill who sprinted around the left end for twelve yards and down. The old
criss cross trick was not attempted by either side.
The Jayhawkers' line of defense was to strengthen the ends. Williamson was placed beside Piatt, while Outland played just behind Right End Crooks. This arrangement made end gains for the Tigers almost impossible, but left the line weak. Quarter Back Hill went the full on defensive, and played the position spedidly, receiving all of Allee's punts without a fumble. Williamson put up the most skillful game of foot ball ever seen here. He was in every play made, and time and time again saved ground for his team by dodging the Missouri interference and downing the runner. Williamson's tackling was fierce, accurate and certain. Outland, the right half back, made the sensational play of the day by carrying the ball eighty-five yards on an end run, cleverly blocked by Hill, Hester and Williamson. He was overtaken by Brigham, who fell on him so hard he was forced to retire before the close of the game. Hamill played a fine game against Brigham. Walker put up a magnificent game at center. The Kansas tackles were outplayed. Stone should never have gone into the game. He was not in condition to play a practice game. Piatt fairly outdid himself in his last game of foot ball. The captain played a hard, plucky game all the time. Crooks played his position excellently, making good gains and clever tackles. Burney put up his usual hard aggressive game.
Individually, Brigham carried off honors for Missouri, but Young was not far behind. Price also put up an exceptionally fine game in the second half, but in the first let Kansas get around for good gains several times. Evans' work at quarter has greatly improved. Thompson at center played a great game. Conley and Pauley also did excellent work. It was, after all, however, in team play, and not individual play, that Missouri won and there the great fact of Bliss' coaching showed itself.

The New Physics Building.
Many visitors passed through the new Physics Building last Friday, but few appreciated the many conveniences that the building presents. In the basement are found the standardizing room, where the United States standard weights and measures are kept; the temperature room, having double doors, ceilings and floors, where experiments requiring a constant temperature are performed; also the instrument maker's room where instruments are made for use in the various laboratories. The supply room and a few special research rooms are also located in the basement. In each of these rooms there are stone piers reaching down to solid rock and having no connection with the floors, so that absolute freedom from vibration is secured.
On the first floor of the building are the general laboratories, Prof. Dunstan's office, the library, a class room, a research room and a chemical kitchen where experiments involving chemistry are performed.
The average expenses to Yale students last year was $1.132.
252
Kansas University Weekly.
On the next floor is the general lecture room fitted up with chairs of a convenient form for taking notes. There are blinds at the windows, so that complete darkness can be obtained at any time, and electric lights which are within convenient control of the lecturer. At the experiment table as much as fifty horse power can be obtained at one time.
Prof. Blake's office across the hall from the lecture room is fitted up in an excellent manner. A telephone is at his desk, on the wall hangs an electric clock which regulates the hour bells throughout the University and just below it are placed the works which move the hands of the tower clock on the front of the building. In this room is a pretty electric fireplace.
The apparatus room contains some of the finest physical apparatus made. Prof. Michelson, who, by the way, is one of the most famous physicists in America, says that the physical apparatus here compares very favorably with, and in some lines surpasses the apparatus in the University of Chicago.

As the presence of any considerable quantity of iron would affect the delicate magnetic instruments, the building is heated by a forced draft from an adjoining building, the air throughout being changed every fifteen minutes and the temperature being automatically regulated by electricity. The building is well equipped in the latest and best manner and we may reasonably expect a rapid growth in the Department of Physics and Electrical Engineerring.

THE UNIVERSITY is the place in which you will form those habits which are pertinent to your success or failure in life. More depends possibly upon the strength of character and moral courage cultivated while in college than at any other time. The character of the youth foreshadows that of the man. If you are dishonest, dishonorable and will stoop to any means whatever while in college to obtain your end, your collegians justly brand you with the stamp of infamy and disgrace will follow you and rise up before you in whatever you undertake.
SINCERITY is the one note in a man's life needed to make his whole work a harmony. The man who reaches the people must do so by sincere efforts. The man who reaches any goal of attainment is the man who labors with sincerity of purpose.
ATTEND THE Seminaries, Conferences, Symposiums, etc. You will always feel repaid Were you at the Science Club or at the Historical Seminary Friday afternoon? At one you could have learned all about the Kansas Geological survey of '95, while at the other you could have heard a most able paper on "The English Parliament and the Recent English Elections." Keep in touch with the world's progress.
YES, YOU are doubtless familiar with him. He is the young society blood whose greatest and only pride is that he has been able to work all the different social organizations for a bid to their parties. How shrewd! Always has a nice plausible excuse for you if you don't receive an invitation to the gathering in which he is interested. He never suspects, poor fellow, that there are others who make it just as much a mercenary matter as he does and that seldom if ever he works an individual that the individual in turn does not work him.
How much better it would be if the different social gatherings would follow the example set by the Junior Promenade last year and close at the height of enjoyment, just when all would go home feeling that they never had such a good time. It is certainly harmful to prolong a par-

ty into the wee hours of the night, just as long as the gathering does not dwindle into a small minority. The present late hour system could stand a radical reform. It seems to be beyond all reason and common sense to go to a party and remain until physically exhausted. There is no advantage benefit or any thing whatever that could bear the stamp of good to be derived from such a social feat.
THE TIME is comparatively short until the oratorical contest and each contestant should put forth his best efforts to fit himself mentally and physically for his public appearance. In order to acquit himself well one should be in a good mental condition. His mind should be clear and filled with good material. While each contestant has his oration already written no doubt, yet there should be no relaxation of gathering material along the line of his subject. Get full of your theme then you will feel what you have to say. It is necessary that you be in good physical condition, as the outward man helps you to give expression to your thoughts. You cannot afford to neglect any advantage that will make your expression more clear and impressive to your hearers. There is too much at stake. You have your own reputation as a thinker and speaker at stake; your friends in college and elsewhere are expecting much from you; and most of all Kansas University is to be benefited or to suffer injury by you. It is not a single but a triple responsibility. Let us prove oratory is not a lost art or withdraw from the State Association.
As the Christmas time draws near the student will turn his thoughts longingly towards his home. The faces of father and mother and the loved ones will be frequently before him and the last days before vacation will seem long, all too long. The joys and pleasures of retiring to a home where we know we shall be welcomed with gladness, are certainly among the sweetest of life. Happy moments are those when we reach the home and hear again familiar voices and look into those pleasant faces. One could almost wish that such
joys might last forever; but the swift moving cycles of time soon change. The dear hearts who have watched us from childhood's earliest hours pass on, the veil parts, we see them no more. But the memory of them has a sacred place in our hearts and their voices, though stilled, yet speak. Fellow students as you return to enjoy the Christmas pleasures let us think of the gratitude we owe our parents. Think of all they have been to us and to the sacrifice they have undergone for our sakes and their anxious solicitude for our present welfare. How proud they are of our achievements. What sorrow they feel for our defeat and what symyathy for us when discouraged. But there is a way by which we can repay a part of the debt of gratitude, and that is, by faithfulness. Faithful in our work, faithful to our manhood, then we shall be faithful to them and when we enter again beneath the home roof there will be a sweeter joy, a divine sense of pleasure to both parent and child.
LAST YEAR nothing was heard after the Thanksgiving game, but "Hector Cowan is a great man, Great is Hector Cowan, selah." He had won the day and everyone—great, big, small and little—joined in one sweet accord of praise. All realized how hard our coach had worked. We were cognizant of his superior skill in the game that brought us so much glory. The Kansas City World came out with glaring headlines and highly complimented the University of Kansas on having such an excellent coach. Many wanted the Regents to make a contract with Mr. Cowan for life fearing that he might leave us for foot-ball work in some other university. Thus ran enthusiasm when started by a few words in print or by the opinions of a few men who had the courage to speak. It led the multitude. That wavering throng which is always perched high upon the fence tumbled over itself in the merited praise of our coach. But this year we carried off the pennant, won every game except the Thanksgiving one which was lost for no other reason, as is now the consensus of opinion, than that Cowan's advice was not taken with reference to the line up. There

has been considerable arbitrariness too this year with which Cowan is not to be blamed. Two minutes and the Thanksgiving day game would have been ours. Within only five yards of never defeated team! Our coach had many unusual things to contend with while Missouri had a seven thousand dollar appropriation and a shrewd inextravagant business manager. And yet notwithstanding all this there is feeling against Prof. Cowan because since Pop. Bliss from a prejudiced position has modestly intimated that the Puke foot-ball coach, i.e., himself, is better than the one just across the line in the Sunflower state. It is strange that an idle
letter in a cheap paper will influence some people to spread abroad such a lofty opinion in their learned manner. Have an opinion, but let it be the conviction of your conscience. Have the backbone to express that opinion. Don't find fault with Cowan just because the Missouri game cost you some money. It is probable that you can make good your loss next November. Just one statement more, in the Thanksgiving game it was Prof. Cowan's trick that won us our only touchdown. The double pass play was the sole invention of Cowan and not of Mastin to whom the credit has been given.
LITERARY.
[To the Women's League of Kansas University we are indebted for permission to publish the following extracts from letters received from members of the Correspondence League. This Correspondence League was established by the University of Michigan for the purpose of bringing into closer sympathy the young women of the leading coeducational institutions of the country. Vassar, Wellesley, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Kansas University, Boston University, Cornell, Northwestern and Michigan, also Wesleyan University of Wisconsin and Oberlin make up the circuit. Besides picturing the life of college women outside of study hours, each letter is supposed to answer questions of general interest suggested by the correspondence committee. The following are some of this year's questions:
What are your members?
How do you live, as to rooms, room mates, etc?
How, and by whom is the social life carried on?
What are the favorite means of recreation?
What is percentage of women who specialize?
The answers to these questions cannot fail to interest all those connected with educational work.]
I. CORNELL.
There are two hundred and one young women registered in the various courses in Cornell University this year, not quite so large a number as usual, but in proportion to the number of men nearly the same as a year ago. Eight of the thirty-six undergraduate scholarships are held by women, three of the twenty-two fellowships, and four out of sixteen graduate scholarships. These all being given in recognition of superior attainments in scholarship, show beyond question that the girls rank at least evenly with the men in actual work. It is a significant fact that the Phi Beta Kappa society elected to its membership six women and five men from the class of '94, and for several years a good proportion of the number chosen have been women. The Sigma Xi, also, the honorary society for Scientists, has already several women in its list of members.
The ice last winter was both thick and smooth so that much power of concentration was gained by efforts to shorten study hours in order that hours for skating might be correspondingly lengthened. Walking is by far the most popular pastime. The beautiful glens about Ithaca allure not only "fiends" in search of rocks, fungi, flowers and bugs, but non-scientific pleasure seekers as well.
262
Kansas University Weekly.
Two years ago the student self-government council was established to maintain good order in the University. It consists of eleven members; the president of the University, who is chairman, and ten students elected from the four classes. It tries cases of openly dishonest work, cheating at examinations and other misdemeanors.
By far the most difficult question to touch is that regarding the attitude of the young men towards co-education in general and towards us in particular. As to the first, it seems pretty certain that a fair majority of the men do not believe in or approve of co-education. There are a great many interesting statements in the newspapers regarding the ill treatment of Cornell girls by the men. They have just this foundation in fact. The young men who come here from families of the highest social standing, the sons of wealthy parents, certainly do not recognize the college women as their social equal. Nor should they. The girls do not expect it nor care for it. They have come to realize that the mere fact of their being students at the same college with these men, gives them no claim on attentions which they could not otherwise expect. Certainly these wealthier men, our four hundred are not enthusiastic about women or Cornell.
2. VASSAR.
There has been so much enthusiasm in regard to out-door sports this spring that an Athletic Association has been organized to superintend the various athletic interests.
Basket ball and battle ball, which during the winter months have been practiced in the gymnasium, are now being played out of doors.
Golf links have been laid out and some interest has been taken in the game.
We have several dirt courts for tennis, and a stimulus is always given to the practice of this old time favorite by the annual tournament that takes place in the fall.
Bicycling has come into special favor at Vassar, and at almost any hour of the day, even before breakfast, the girls may be seen about the grounds on their wheels.
It cannot be said that any of our women are
entirely self-supporting while in college, although a number of these help very materially to defray the expenses of their college life.
A few earn enough during the summer months or by leaving college a year to complete their course. There are scholarships and funds which are given to those who apply for them, as well as loans which may be repaid without interest after the student has left college.
It is possible for a student to pay all her expenses, except her tuition, by doing work in connection with the college; such as tutoring, delivering mail, taking care of chapel and reading room, library work, copying, etc.
There exists in college a Current Topics Club. This is limited as to its members, and holds meetings where different subjects of the day are discussed. But the uninitiated are also kept informed by the daily bulletins posted by members of this club. They each take turns in preparing a digest of the news of the day, which is then placed beside the official bulletin board.
3. BOSTON UNIVERSITY.
With the recent change in courses and the requirement of fewer prescribed studies, there is afforded great opportunity for individual choice. To regard the subject from the record and more important meaning of specializing, it might be said that the faculty and most students who intend to specialize recognize the advisability of deferring such work until the completion of the college course. The specialist, like the professional worker, requires certainly four years of general training; he needs to know something of many things before he can attempt to know everything of one thing.
Many interests absorb the hours of the city student. The numerous sociological conferences of the winter claim attendance from the social science student; new courses added to the prospectus offer fresh cause for perplexity. Shall she take the Portugal course because it completes the requirements for romance philology? Shall she take Sanscrit because it crowns all her language work, and—now especially—she questions, because it has a fasci-

nating kinship with the dialect of those thirty yellow volumes of Buddhistic lore recently presented to the University by the Siamese king himself?
She must get in at least one Lowell lecture course in the season; if an enthusiastic in French she must plan to get a petit coin when the French tragedians come to town; and she often debates long between a college play and a Friday afternoon in the topmost gallery of Music Hall listening to the sweetness of the symphony. She and her friends may be seen at the tables of the new Public Library, in the Athenaeum, in all sorts of clubs, in all sorts of good works. But she is a college girl—is not that enough?
4. WELLESLEY.
Under our new curriculum, which went into effect last year, it becomes necessary for all students to specialize to a certain degree, while it also requires a certain amount of miscellaneous work. In accordance with its requirements fifty-nine hours must be completed for graduation; of these twenty-six are required, the rest elective. The required subjects are as follows: Mathematics, four hours for one year; Philosophy, three hours; Physiology and Hygiene, one hour; Bible, four hours; English, three hours; Natural Science, six hours; Language, three hours.
In our college there is comparatively little that a student can do to support herself, much less than at other colleges. Our system of domestic work, which requires that every student, no matter who she is, shall perform daily some part of the light domestic or office work, interferes with this in a great measure, for students who might, as they do in other colleges, do some of this work for their tuition and board, are debarred from it. We have two college houses, the Eliot and the Fiske, at which a student may live for one hundred dollars less than at the other houses, by doing more of the domestic work, including everything necessary to carry on the household.
There is one new institution which I consider prophetic of great results in the future, and that is the new class in Journalism which has
lately been formed. The members of this class make it a point to read all the best dailes and to be informed on current topics.
The very term by which Wellesley's out-ofdoor recreations are known indicates their character. "Sports and Pastimes" they are called and their chief scene of action is the play ground which has been put in order and equipped by the class of '97. The sports and pastimes which begin in the spring, as soon as the ground is "settled," are merely continuations and practical applications of the winter course in gymnastics.
Rowing was the first of the sports to be scientifically treated and now, at the advent of the fourth spring since its establishment as the regular exercise, Wellesley students are being coached in the genuine 'Varsity strokes. Each class has its crew and its own racing shell.
The several sports, although called at different seasons of the year, are nevertheless continued at the discretion of the captain at other seasons. Rowing is a regular spring sport having its climax in the famous float. Basket ball is a fall game; golf is played in both seasons; tennis in both and lacrosse especially in the fall.
5. UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN.
There are at present enrolled in the University of Michigan about six hundred women. Only eleven of these are graduate students who are pursuing special work. Some of the undergraduates are specializing in a certain sense, that is they are devoting about one third of their time to some one course of study. About forty-five are doing this with English and the same number with Latin, while similar work is done also with mathematics.
The sense of honor in college work and examinations is very high, and personally I may say that I know of, but one case where false work has been done. That there should be such a high standard of honor is one of the distinct purposes which the Woman's League has before itself this year, and a committee is now at work trying to devise means for furthering this purpose.
The majority of the young men, I think, favor co-education and just so far as the young women are studious, lady-like, and sensible in every way, just so far, it seems to me, will co-education be successful.

ATHLETICS.
The Champions.
The University and townspeople of Lawrence never stood by a football team as they have by the team of this year, and their support did not fail with defeat.
In the team of this year they recognize the strongest aggregation that has ever represented the University, and in that the State of Kansas. The state is justly proud of the valiant boys who so gallantly battled to win distinction for her, and in their success in landing the coveted pennant, we all glory.
We regret the boys could not have won for themselves the supreme honor of a "never defeated team."
The disposition is today, and we hope it will never falter, to nurse the memory of the great Thanksgiving struggle and the several victories of the team of '95.
We wish we might make a "Kansas City papers please copy" dispatch to each of the players, but space will not permit.
However to Coach Cowan, Captain Piatt and Mr. Tom Mastin we would extend the sincere appreciation of the University for their excellent services.
Coach Cowan worked hard and faithfully to make a winning team, and deserves the hearty congratulations of all. Mr. Mastin's services were gratuitous, and certainly were appreciated.
To Captain Piatt belongs all praise. Handicapped by a six week's start, we started and with indomitable will and energy got the individual players.
Armor Chosen Captain.
At a meeting of the football team Wednesday, Chas. W. Armor was selected captain for the team of 1896. Armor was the regularly elected captain of this year's team. He was forced to retire early in the season with a broken ankle, and Piatt was named for the captaincy.
There was some doubt as to whom the privilege of casting ballots should extend. The
constitution says any player who has taken part in any of the scheduled games, which the Athletic board interpreted to mean all of the match games played this year including Midland and Emporia.
Fullback Hester was the only opposing candidate. Hester refused to make an active canvass, simply allowing his name to be presented.
Armor had little opportunity last year of showing his capabilities as a leader, but the confidence the boys have shown in his ability by twice electing him to this important position, must be a matter of great satisfaction to him.
A vote of thanks was extended to Captain Piatt and Coach Cowan for their efficient services, after which the meeting adjourned.
The All-Western Team.
The All-Western foot-ball team has been chosen. The team is an honorary one composed of the players of the League Circuit including the State Universities of Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas. The selection of the team was the individual one of Coach Bliss, of Missouri, who has seen the four teams in at least one game. Missouri nor Kansas is given any advantage, but ten of the eleven players are taken from these two teams. Nebraska is honored with only one position, left end, while poor old Iowa again fails to score. However Captain Leighton is mentioned as one of the most promising guards in the country with proper coaching.
Curiously enough all of the Kansas backs are retained, which is certainly a worthy compliment to our prided quartette. "Shorty" Hamill is the only man who is considered capable of making holes large enough to accommodate our "Big Four." Thompson is given center over Walker.
The positions and players are as follows: Left end, Shue; left tackle, Pauley; left guard, Hamill; center, Thompson; right guard, Brigham; right tackle, Conley; right end, Price; quarter, Hill; left half back, Williamson; right half back, Outland; full back, Hester.

A Chapter on Foot-Ball.
During the foot-ball season just ended, and notably since its close, several newspaper articles have appeared reflecting unfavorably upon our Physical Director, and through him upon his friends and indirectly upon the student body of the University, from whom at first sight the articles in question might seem to proceed. The writer is especially interested and concerned because it was a personal letter from him to Rev. H. W. Cowan that led the latter to accept the invitation to become a member of our Faculty, on the plea that he could here exert a more extended influence than in any ordinary pulpit, and that he might still continue his ministerial work while supervising our athletic interests and eliminating therefrom as it was hoped a certain objectionable element. It was of course to be expected that some might object to the introduction of a moral standard in athletics, because of possible injury to athletics; others because of the danger of damage to the moral standard itself, or to the man supporting it. Criticism of methods and a certain amount of newspaper notoriety were also to be expected. But the hearty support and co-operation of all fully understanding the nature of Mr. Cowan's proposed work and his motive for undertaking it was also expected and fully assured; while to prove that his motive was not a financial one, he refused a better offer than ours, and agreed to serve for a year for less than it was proposed to pay a coach for three months.
In this assurance of the support of the University and its real friends, Professor Cowan has endured without a word much more than was to be expected; among other things attacks upon his personal Christian character, as well as upon the efficiency of his work as instructor. It is only when these lead to question of the attitude of the University itself toward him that they assume any importance to him, or to those concerned for him.
This is the question that I have endeavored to find an answer for. It has two aspects. First, from what source have the most recent attacks upon Professor Cowan proceeded?
Second, upon what basis do they rest? As to the first, it is at once evident that, unless indirectly, the source is not in the University; and the best proof is perhaps the editorials and resolutions that appear in this number of the Weekly. But indirectly, criticisms of his work may have been uttered in unfriendly ears, and exaggerated into what we have seen—charges of laziness, inefficiency, and general ignorance of foot-ball as it should be played. In search of such criticisms, I have gathered up the following, in every case spoken with kindly intent: Professor Cowan was slow in getting men at work in the beginning of the season; was not severe enough in requiring attendance and discipline on the part of his men; he has not secured as much help from others as he might have done, either before the season or during its continuance; and he has not handled certain men in certain positions in the best way. To emphasize certain of these points, I myself saw a newspaper posted in the hall of the Main Building containing an article on foot-ball with certain passages underlined intimating that not only a mighty hustling but also a certain amount of profanity should characterize first-class coaching.
But in the main, such criticism if true and spoken in a friendly spirit is legitimate, and Professor Cowan would be the last man to object to it. It however implies a lack of confidence in his methods that is in place after his methods have been fully tried, certainly not till then. On another side it wears a ludicrous aspect. He is certainly not the ideal coach according to the model just described. It is also amusing that a man whose word is law still on Princeton's field as it has been for eleven years, should, before he has had opportunity to perfect his system, be adjudged even partly inadequate to the requirements of the University of Kansas.
So far as Professor Cowan himself is concerned, it is sufficient to say that what he does will be done quietly, without attempt at display and without profanity. He may be lazy, but before deciding positively as to this, it is well to measure the results of his work. Not how but what is the test of fitness, and quietness is
266
Kansas University Weekly.
not laziness notwithstanding a certain outward similarity. But the force of the criticisms stated depends entirely upon this; Has he had opportunity to apply his methods?
To my snrprise, the answer seems to be No. His quietly spoken advice has been quietly disregarded, while those who have disregarded it have yet been willing to have him held responsible for results. In this way our team was crippled last season; and in this way it was crippled again this season. The game with Doane is alone sufficient to account for the loss of the game with Missouri.
This is not all. Early in the present season, either because his methods were not understood, or because they seemed too slow—and in either case, respect for his reputation apart, it was assuredly human nature for those most deeply interested to grow impatient,—something of a counter authority was, with the best of intentions, set up. After some friction, the work was divided, and thus in effect, though not intentionally, he was hindered from carrying out his original plans.
Lastly under this head he has been refused credit for what he has actually accomplished. With the team crippled at the pleasure of others, he yet won the important game last of season. Working to suit others rather than himself, and with a team again weakened by the mistakes of others, the important game of this season still was lost only because both sides could not win it. The sole touchdown of that game was made by a plan of Professor Cowan's; the staying power developed by his policy of training brought Kansas, her ranks full of substitutes, irresistibly to Missouri's goal line at the end of the game—and in the reports of the game another name was usually substituted for his whenever coaching was mentioned.
Another criticism of his work I have reserved till the last, because it seems to me the most important, and the most just. This is, that he should have asserted his real authority throughout; and have insisted that his plan should be carried out in every detail, since it was evident that he must shoulder the responsibility in any case.
Some of these things in exaggerated form may have suggested the recent attacks upon him. But, to return to the original question, the immediate source of those attacks is apparently not in the University. Nor is it likely in the most recent instance to have proceeded from any one in the city of Lawrence. One does not need to be a friend of the University to see that Professor Cowan's place cannot be filled by another. Coaches may be had, the more the better, perhaps, but the Board of Regents will not pay their salaries, and the writer is not prepared to say who will. All except honorary signers have grown tired of subscription papers. It is perhaps only proper to say at least once that Professor Cowan is not a professional foot-ball coach but a minister of the gospel, a member of the Faculty of the University, who fortunately happens to know enough about foot-ball to do a coach's work, and, if not interfered with, to win games.
If the attack proceeded from some one in Kansas City, it is as stated at first, of little importance to him, but of somewhat more to the University. For the reason implied in the last paragraph, no friend of the University could have written it, and if it proceeded even indirectly from a certain person who has been associated with our athletic work this year, no further proof is needed, that even if his personal character were irreproachable, his connection of that person with this institution has been discreditable.
My conclusions are—naturally somewhat colored by my close personal acquaintance with Professor Cowan, for which I wish readers of this article to make due allowance. That if he had been permitted to carry out his own policy through the season, we should have lost no game. That criticism of his work is always in order, and should be frank and direct, in which case it is sure to be helpful and well received. That the severest criticism upon his work this season is that he failed to insist upon his own authority, methods, and policy, until he had secured a fair trial. That if his plans fail after a fair trial, he will know it as soon as anyone

267
else, and will require no hint to give up his work.
Even now, it will be impossible for him to continue his work, and carry out the high purpose with which he came, unless fully assured of the sympathy and support of the undergraduate body. That body should ascertain all the facts, whatever they are, and should then see that justice is done; and no student body ever yet failed to see justice done when aroused to action. In a case like this there is no fairer tribunal, and if it finds Professor Cowan wanting, it will indeed be well for him to think of folding his tent.
Before reaching a decision, it may be well to consider one final question. What is foot-ball
to mean in the University of Kansas? Is it to stand for Christian manliness, courage, endurance, self-control, strength moral as well as physical? Then these are the things for which the name of Rev. Hector W. Cowan stands throughout on the country, except possibly in our own little corner of it. Does it on the contrary stand for brutality. for trickery; for paid players, for profanity, for betting before games and for drinking after them? There is no lack of evidence available that to some it means all and precisely this. If this is to be its meaning, then by all means Professor Cowan must go ; but let us devoutly pray that foot-ball may soon follow him.

The address on "Socialism" by Prof. Blackmar, of the State University, was scholarly and viewed the subject from every point of view. He gave the principles of the great political reformers from the time of Moses to the present time, and reviewed the history of socialism from its beginning, as an institution about the time of the French Revolution to the present time, in France, Germany, England and the United States. It seeks to undermine the home. What is needed is a new man—a new co-operative man in social life. He left this question: Is not the great struggle of life for inequality.

entitled, "Environment in Education." He proved that nations are influenced by environments, and said in part, that man is being more and more regarded as the result of influence of heredity and environment. Environment, to a certain extent, makes a man. Man is not born free. It will be impossible for him to have any ideas or concepts without being colored in some way by the material world around him. The teacher must use some idea the child already has, to impart to him the new. The teacher would do well to follow the example of the lowly Nazarine.
J. W. HULLINGER, '96.
"Seven Incentives to Work" was the subject of Pres. Hullinger's address. These are some of the thoughts presented : "There is inspiration in frollicking, happy, free-hearted childhood." "We are dealing in living truth. We have a right to draw encouragement from a consciousness of something done." "We are not toilers for a time only." "There are no downward tendencies in our work."

The Economic Seminary met as usual last Monday. Prof. Blackmar gave a most interesting review of the "Review of Reviews". He devoted the rest of the hour to introducing the new economic books which he has just had purchased for his department. They have been assigned to the members for reviewing during the year.
Prof. Clark gave an informal talk on the masters in painting, in the rooms of the Art League at Leavenworth last Saturday, and on Monday in the rooms of the Art Department of the Athenaeum, at Kansas City. He illustrated his remarks with a hundred large photographs of the works of the masters. This lecture was given to University students in the lecture room of the Physics Building, Thursday afternoon. The same photographs were shown.
One of the pressing needs of the University is a green-house for the Botany Department. A great majority of the students take work, sometime during their college course, in this very important and popular branch of study, and yet less has been done for it than for any other of the Departments of Science in the University. Work in Botany, although most complete in every other way, is seriously hampered by the lack of a green-house that could be used as a laboratory in Physicological Botany.
Prof. Miller contributes an interesting article in the current number of "Popular Astronomy" under the title "Astronomy in the High Schools." The Professor deplores the fact that Astronomy is ignored or at least glanced at in a very desultory way by students in American High Schools. He speaks of the important relation of Astronomy to the other sciences and says that because of this important relation, Astronomy assumes at once a position second to no other science. In order that Astronomy may become a popular study, every High School, he says, should be equipped with apparatus not expensive but scientific and exact. In conclusion, he adds, that even a primary course in Astronomy would certainly do as much in strengthening the intellectual faculties in broadening character, in elevating and strengthening thought, desire, and purpose, in creating a strong and pure imagination, as any subject, whether scientific or literary, embraced within any course of study for High Schools.

Meeting of the Kansas Academy of Science.
The Kansas Academy of Science will hold its annual meeting in Lawrence, January 2, 3 and 4. The program is not, as yet, made out in full, but Secretary E. B. Knerr, one of the Professors in Midland College, is busy completing the same. The University will be well represented at the meeting. Prof. Franklin has been manufacturing argon and will have some of this new element ready for exhibition. Prof. Sayre will give an illustrated paper on Serum Therapy, having special reference to the treatment of diptheria. Prof. Haworth's department will read a number of interesting papers. Dr. Sharpe will contribute a paper on "The Dakota Group as a Salt Bearing Formation." W. R. Crane '95, will read a paper entitled "Horse-backs in Kansas Coal Measures." Prof. Hayworth will contribute a paper on "Kansas Tertiary as a Water Bearing Formation." Among the other papers already reported are the following: "A Geological Section from Atchison to Barnes" by Prof. Knerr, "A Geological Section of the Smoky Hill River" by W. N. Logan '96, "Salt Deposits of Kansas" by M. Z. Kirk, "Volcanic Theories of the Moon" by Prof. Miller, "Theory of the Absorption Spectra" by Prof. Dunstan, "Metanitro-para-chlor-benzaldehyde and some of its Derivatives" by Prof. Franklin. Prof's Blake and Rice and others in the department of Physics will contribute valuable papers, all these will go to make the meeting successful and interesting.
Henry Watterson's Lecture.
A large audience assembled in University Hall Wednesday evening to hear Col. Henry Watterson of the Louisville Courier-Journal, deliver his lecture, "Abraham Lincoln."
Shortly after 8 o'clock Col. H. L. Moore, of this city stepped upon the platform, and in a
few words introduced the celebrated journalist. Col. Watterson began his lecture by showing how Lincoln differed in dress, manners and personal appearance from the men who figured prominently in the first half century of our national history. Lincoln, he said, was tall, angular and awkward, while the heroes and statesmen of the Revolutionary and later periods were cultured gentlemen. He described Lincoln's first appearance in public life and followed him through the famous Douglas-Lincoln debates. In this connection he paid a glowing tribute to Douglas. He told of Lincoln's experiences in Washington, and interspersed his lecture with a number of humorous and pathetic anecdotes, illustrating the nature and temperament of the great war president. He also told of his personal acquaintance with Lincoln and of his friendship for the man, whose native state was the same as his own.
He read the famous Gettysburg speech and some of the official correspondence between Lincoln and his cabinet. He closed his lecture with a touching description of the assassination scene and an eloquent tribute to his subject, who, he said, was inspired by God to take the part he did in the critical period of our history.

Bit by those teeth that must decay I'm bound to see your speedy doom. They die-for all dogs have their day. The dogs that watch in stable room, Unpitying club and Weary's power Shall change the expression of thy glower.

FORTUNATELY FOR the editor, his term has nearly expired. If it were otherwise, he fears that the company would demand that he resign in favor of the managing editor since the work of the latter has appeared in the last two issues.
THE ANGEL of peace has been hovering about Baldwin, Kansas, of late and his good influence is manifested by the combination of the Baker Beacon and Index. The change is a very commendable one and we wish the combined paper all success and prosperity.
LAWRENCE PEOPLE are enjoying a new kind of social entertainment. It is known as the "phonographic party." The originators are two enterprising University students who have purchased a phonograph and furnish the entertainment.
THE POOR medical student at Topeka has a hard time of it. Society threatens him with severe penalties if in after years any of his patients shall suffer his ignorance or lack of skill in the treatment of their bodily ills, and yet when he asks for a human body to dissect and study, he is told that public opinion will not permit such an unholy desecration and when he resorts to the only means left and patronizes the grave robbers, the mob wants to hang him and burn his college. If a man will be a doctor he must take the consequences.
Notice of Election.
ON FRIDAY, January 17, 1896, there will be an election of the following officers of the Kansas University Weekly Publishing Company: An editor-in-chief, a secretary and a treasurer, each to hold office for the spring term 1895-6; and eight members of the editorial board, to hold office till the opening of the spring term 1896-7. The latter, however, are subject to the following provision of the constitution,—
Art. VI, Sec. 8.-The candidates for the office of editor-in-chief who receive the second and third highest number of votes for that position, provided that each of them receive at least one fifth of the total vote cast, shall be declared elected to positions on the editorial board. The remaining positions on the editorial board to be filled at that election shall be filled by the candidates receiving the highest humber of votes for those positions.
---

Kansas University Weekly.
Prof. Adams having resigned from the editorial board December 19th, the vacancy thus created will be filled at the regular election, the person elected to hold office for the spring term 1895-6.
All stockholders will be be entitled to vote but no shares will be issued within five days of the election. Nominations for all the offices are governed by the following provision,—
Art. VI, Sec. 6.—Nominations for these offices shall be made in writing at least seven days in advance of the election, signed by at least ten stockholders in each case, and submitted to the advisory committee for approval.
The constitution provides that the election shall be held on the "secod Friday" in January, but as that date, taken literally, would throw the time for the closing of nominations and the closing of the poll books back into the holidays and thus be open to very serious objection, we have interpreted the phrase to mean the "second school Friday" in January, in this case the 17th, and we offer this explanation in due season, in order that there may be no question as to the apparent discrepancy.
As no names have yet been mentioned in connection with these offices, we feel at liberty to say a few words in the matter of this election. Membership on the staff of this paper is not like most of the offices which a student may hold—a ball from a five-cent roman candle; if there is any glory connected with the position it comes at the end of the term, not at the election, and the more successful the paper, the less glory any one member may claim as his individual portion. The paper needs workers —workers for the paper, not for self, people who are willing to give their best efforts whether the public hears of their services or not. Those should be elected who really desire a little newspaper experience and are willing to work lower down if they cannot gain the highest offices. It is to be hoped that none will be chosen who, if disappointed in the allotment of positions, will suddenly find themselves overcrowded with school work and unable to do anything for the paper. And although it may seem ridiculous, we are inclined to suggest from
our experience, that candidates should be put under bonds not to murder the English language and that they should be required to pass examinations in spelling punctuation and penmanship. Although other considerations will enter into the choice, although each faction of students will seek representation on the board, it must be remembered that a purely "representative" staff will produce a paper representative of very little, and that the first and by far the most essential qualifications must be fitness and ability. If these are kept in mind in the election of the staff, we may be sure that we shall be proud of the paper.
CHRISTMAS COMES but once a year, and likewise with the Christmas holidays. This issue will find most of our readers at home, and only the student who has been at school away from home for four long months knows what joy the very thought of going home can inspire in his lonely breast. We express the old but never hackneyed wish of a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for each one and we hope that every day of the vacation may be full of joy and pleasure and rest from study. Banish the thought of books and lessons, seek recreation and enjoyment, take a real vacation, for there are five months of hard study ahead and we should enter the new year full of fresh vigor and enthusiasm if we carry our work through to a successful completion.
Question for Joint Debate.
From five questions proposed for the joint debate by the University of Nebraska, the committee has selected the following:
Resolved, That the Initiative and Referendum as provided by the law of Switzerland should be introduced into our system of government.
The Nebraska representatives have been chosen, and are A. J. Weaver, who was one of the competitors last year, H. E. Newbranch, and H. W. Quaintance.

LITERARY.
Thursday, November the tenth, the "Friends in Council" considered the subject of "Openings for College Graduates." The writer of the paper on "Openings for Women College Graduates" regarded it a mistake for so great a proportion to become teachers. Teaching has seemed almost to be the main purpose of acquiring the higher education, while it should be to make life fuller and broader in all callings. It should seek to break down grades in labor elevating the standard of work, and so reach and uplift the working class.
In woman's work the question of sex has always been too prominent, often restricting, as well as imposing too arduous labors upon her, because belonging to the home. One author was quoted as saying that during the age of chivalry "sex gradually came to take precedence of humanity—the most disastrous thing that can happen to any creature—male or female."
Inasmuch as the college settlement work is impracticable in small towns, a suggestion was made for the women graduates of our own University to combine in establishing here an Industrial school with the hope of thus reaching and casting an influence over, many untrained young people, who are now leading worse than useless lives. If undertaken with sufficient earnestness it might be hoped many of our fellow townsmen would give pecuniary aid to the enterprise and it would certainly have the sympathy and encouragement of all.
"Education must bring labor up and elevate its standard. It must necessarily of itself produce new callings in life. Its diffusion produces new industries. But only as these industries do in the long run effect all labor are the lower walks of life materially benefitted; nor can they be greatly helped by our better educational advantages as long as the educated continue to follow only what are considered "the higher callings." So long as the woman college-graduate seeks only such callings in life as can in no way be performed without a college education, she not only becomes separated farther and farther from the woman-laborer, who has not had her advantages, but she limits more and more her own field of usefulness, while the ordinary working people desire no direct advantage through the constantly increasing numbers of college-graduates.
As long as we are content that the individual be not above her work, that the dressmaker, however proficient in fitting and style, has no thought above the fashion plates she studies, there can be no rapid, progressive, universal advance. Since it is the environment that educates there can be no great progress among the ignorant working classes if always kept within their own atmosphere—receiving only occasionally kindnesses from those of a missionary spirit."
Just as a young man would be advised to follow any calling for which he showed a natural aptitude; so might any individual, man or woman, be expected to follow the work most congenial. To every woman of course first comes the family and the home. But if a young woman showed a natural gift in any especial line, there is no reason why it need be suppressed, because contemplating marriage. If many women had some calling in life it would overcome much of the spirit of unrest so prevalent. It is not only single women who really stand in need of helpful work.
Of most women, family cares engross all the attention; but to many the years of caring for children are more or less limited; and often there is quite a term of life after that period, when she either assumes unnecessary labors, or is despondent because her field of usefulness has passed from her. Indeed she often clings to it with more persistance as she realizes the work that has so entirely engrossed all her attention, and into which she has thrown her whole heart, is no longer needed: taking upon herself needless anxieties and rendering the young people of her household more and more dependent and really dwarfing their develop-

ment, and so thwarting the cause she is trying to advance."
"Women cannot take upon themselves additional labors; but they may be relieved of much they have borne heretofore and substitute in place something better suited to their needs. It need not necessarily be new, but often an adaptation of former callings to the new contingencies."
- * * * "Women no longer travel from daylight to dark between the spindle and the wheel, drawing into thread the carded roll that is to be woven into fabric for the family wear; nor throw the shuttle back and forth all day for the weaving; or make all the garments that are worn by the different members of the family, or prepare every article that supplies the daily table. Indeed when we consider the change that has come in woman's work during the last two or three decades, we may have every reason to believe that out of this unsettled condition of woman's work more changes are in store for us than have already occurred.
It behooves us, however, to watch well these changes that they be an improvement and not a retrogression."
"There are then two especial openings for women college graduate—to join hands with the uneducated in the humble walks of life, and through culture bring up all grades of work to a higher standard and thereby remove the
stigma resting on so-called menial employments, inducing, through example all women to become better educated and prepared for the work of life, and also to serve as a vanguard in all new openings for women. To be ready at all times to grasp the new situation, arising through this better preparation; but at the same time to watch well all innovations in woman's work and through acquired sagacity and clearer in sight, decide what is in the line of evolution and helpful—and what is not progressive, but in the line of degeneration.
This is the work which seem naturally to fall to these young women who are having every possible opportunity through which they may be taught a higher life.
They are expected to be guards all along the line, never losing sympathy, but through their cultivated sensibilities responding always to the necessity of labor among the weak and needy; and through the strength given them by their better preparation, to serve as pioneers in news fields of labor.
Young women graduates, when they pass out from our Universities, bear with them the possibility of creating a new era in woman's work—illustrating the practicability of the higher education for woman—as well as helping forward the sisterhood of all women workers."

Prof. Hayworth spent part of his time last summer in taking a number of photographs of hills in different parts of the state, where outcroppings of the original lime stone deposits occur. University Photographer Tucker has recently made some very satisfactory prints from these photographs.
The teachers of the first four grades in the Leavenworth school were recently instructed to give various subjects to the children to be illustrated by them according to their own fancy. As no instructions were given as to how the work should be done it much resembled the work of primitive races, but the graphic and illustrative force brought out was surprising; indeed the work of many of our noted artists falls short of the illustrative power shown here. The work is considered of value in freeing the minds of the children from the bondage of text books.
At the twenty-third annual meeting of the Kansas State Teachers' Association to be held at Topeka December 25th to 27th Prof. F.W. Blackmar is chairman of the Round Table of History and Sociology.

C. I. Spellman, C. A. Burney, H. G. Pope, R. W. Wells, A. A. Ewart, Miss Peterson and Mr. Rush. All credit belongs to Miss Peterson, through whose efforts the course was finally inaugurated.
Last Friday was "Field Day" for the Language Conference, the life and works of the late Eugene Field being the subject of the meeting. Prof. Carruth opened the meeting with an excellent critical analysis of Fields works. He said that Eugene Field's claim to fame must of course be based entirely on his child poems and that in his opinion no more musical child poems had ever been written. He classed Field with such poets as Thomas Bailey Aldrich and Bret Harte, and paid him a high tribute as a man and as a writer. A number of Fields most noted poems, including "Wynken Blynken and Nod," "Little Boy Blue" and "Conversation" were read.
Elocutionary Recital.
The members of Mrs. Clark's class in Elocution gave a public recital in University Hall Monday night to a small but delighted audience. The ten selections given showed a wide range of elocutionary talent coupled with faithful work on the part of instructor and pupils. Miss Jaedicke recited Longfellow's "Sandalphon," and followed it with Eugene Field's poem, "Booh." Miss Boughton gave "The Drummer Boy of Mission Ridge" and a country courtship dialogue. "He called Her in from Me" was recited by Miss Fowler. "Rocket's Christmas," and "On the Pier" were given by Misses Starr and Scharff, respectively. Miss Jaedicke closed the program with an impersonation of a woman at the Telephone and a recital of Macaulay's "Virginia."

As the result of an exchange with Princeton College the department of Geology has just received a fine collection of Myocene fossils. They consist of forms not obtained by Dr. Williston on his expedition in '94, and with them a complete series of the Myocene fossils. In the collection are skulls of rhinoceros, camel, rodent, insectivore, cat, hyena, ancodus, ehotherium and titanotherium. This collection is now undoubtedly one of the most valuable in the University.

The Music Hall Reception.
The faculty of the school of fine art gave the most successful reception in its history at music hall Wednesday evening. The hall was beautifully decorated with Christmas trees and bunting. One of the chief reasons for its success was the presence of several artists from abroad who delighted the students and guests with a varied and unique entertainment.
Chief of these was Miss May, of Detroit Michigan, whose reading of Mrs. Elizabeth Stuart Phelps' "Madonna of the Tubs" was the finest thing of the kind ever heard in Lawrence. Miss May also gave several humorous selections delightfully. Another genuine artist was Miss Phelps, of Chicago, who rendered several delightful selections on the harp. Another entertainer was Miss Bowen, of New York, who gave several whistling solos most artistically. Dancing of the true genuine kind lancers quadrilles and Virginia reels—kept the party merry until midnight.
This with good music, refreshments in abundance, and a large attendance of young people made the evening a most enjoyable one.

Lorelei.
I know not what is the reason,
That I should feel so dull;
But a fable that's all out of season
I can't get out of my skull.
The air is cold, so the Erlking's daughter
Draws the wanderer's nightshirt on;
Then goes to the hill-top as he had taught he
And sings from eve till morn.
With one leg in the air this Lorelei stands,
To watch the sailor's decease;
The jewels sparkle on her hands,
As she combs her golden fleece.
She combs it with a fine-tooth comb,
Made out of dragon's teeth;
And she sings a song to the sparkling foam
Of the Rheinstrom underneath.
Der Zinnsoldat iu his paper boat
Is charmed and looks on high:—
(Her singing must have been better
Than the Schreckliche parodei.)
Erect he stands with his gun on his arm,
And though griped by colic within,
You'd not suspect from the outward calm,
That his eyes were full of tin.
The boat strikes on the Felsenriff!
But cares he not a darn;
And this is what with it's singing
Hat Brandt's Lesebuch reethan

About her beauty fair;

An airy little sprite
In a billowy flood of lace,
Which flutters in its flight
In the galop's tripping grace.
And O the broken hearts
Which follow the rapturous whirl
O the Redfern gown and the arts
Of the annual summer girl.

"The college in its four years of discipline, training, teaching, makes the boy the man."
"His Latin, Greek, Rhetoric, Science, Logic, etc. have little or nothing to do with law, medicine or theology, and still less with manufacturing or mining, or storekeeping or stocks or grain or provisions. But they have given to the youth when he has been graduated, the command of that superb intelligence with which God has endowed. "The college bred man has an equal opportunity for bread and butter, but beyond that he becomes a citizen of commanding influence, a leader in every community, where he settles.
It has been my lot in the peculiar position which I have occupied for over a quarter of a century of counsel and advisor for a great corporation and its creators, and of the many successful men in business who have surrounded them, to know how men who have been denied in their youth the opportunity for education feel when they are possessed with fortunes, and the world seems at their feet. Then they painfully recognize their limitations, when they know their weakness, then they understand there are things which money cannot buy. The one lament of all these men has been, "Oh if I had been educated! I would sacrifice all I have to attain the opportunities of the college, to be able to sustain conversation and discussion with the educated men with whom I come in contact."
