THE GREATEST tribute to the University is that her graduates universally honor and work for her.
THE FIRST thing the new student should do after finding a boarding place and becoming enrolled is to subscribe for the WEEKLY in order to become conversant with University affairs.
GREETING.
TO THE former students of the University, to those who will be with us again next year and to the new students who will join us in the near future we, the editorial board of the WEEKLY, extend our most cordial greeting. We will be glad to see all of you at the opening of the fall semester of school and do all in our power to make the great University of Kansas nearer and dearer to you. To the prospective student, we say that we actually love our school on account of its thoroughness, equipment and power and are confident that he will re-echo this sentiment after he has been with us for a time.
In this, our mid-summer number of the WEEKLY, we shall endeavor to say a few things about our University, which are not usually found in catalogues or newspapers. Our classic halls are deserted now, our instructors are scattered over the United States and Europe and our students are everywhere—the time is ripe for retrospection. Yet next September renewed activity will be begun upon Mt. Oread, many familiar faces will be seen again sprinkled with a goodly number of new ones and the highest educational institution in Kansas will be busy for another nine months of school.
THE GROWTH of the University of Kansas in the past quarter of a century has been truly remarkable. From a school in one building with a faculty of four or five men, the University has grown to a school occupying nine buildings, the majority of them of great beauty, and having a Faculty of fifty-five members. The number of students has correspondingly increased. From a few students in the sixties the attendance last year was 914.

CHANCELLOR SNOW.
FRANCIS HUNTINGTON SNOW, the honored Chancellor of the University of Kansas was born in Fitchburg, Mass., June 29, 1840.
Chancellor Snow's college training was received at Williams College and at Andover Seminary. He became, in 1866, a member of the first Faculty of the University of Kansas. His most conspicuous work has been the collecting and arranging of a large natural history collection now housed in Snow Hall, and aggregating over 150,000 specimens. Prof. Snow succeeded to the Chancellorship in 1890. Under his administration the University has enjoyed a period of remarkable progress and his singular buoyancy of mind and body give promise of many years more of useful service.

THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS.
The Faculty.
It was recently said by Prof. James Willis Gleed that the greatest need of the University was to become better known to the people of Kansas. If the people really knew what is accomplished here the usefulness of the University would be greatly increased. The method suggested for supplying this need was for the members of the faculty to become better acquainted with the people of Kansas, and better known to them. That some members of the faculty are already doing this is undoubtedly true, but possibly it is not always done in just the right way. Prof. Gleed himself is a rare example of the thourogh scholar who is at the same time a man of business and a man of the world, one who has a very happy faculty of becoming known to the people of the state. It is to be lamented that our professors are not all blessed in a greater or less degree with this faculty.
Many of them indeed are becoming known to the public. Professor Blake is celebrated for electrical achievements, Professor Dyche for his explorations, Professor Carruth for his contributions to literature and for his active interest in political questions, Professor Newson for achievements in mathematics, indeed there is not one Professor that has not asserted a claim to public recognition. Some publish text books and scientific or literary articles, many are in demand as lecturers, and all take an interest in questions relating to the University itself and to the affairs of their own city.
All this is justly commendable, but it is none the less true that there are few who make themselves known to the state in general as active, public spirited men and women, in such a manner, for instance, as does our honored teacher of yore, James H. Canfield. Some of the publicity that we do obtain is of that kind known, as newspaper publicity, certainly a thing not entirely bad, but which to many
people suggests itself as unscholarly and possibly even as vulgar.
It is certainly not through the newspapers that the general public is to discover that in our faculty are many men and women, who, though modest in pretention, are of earnest, genial, attractive personality. Possibly a large part of the general public is not fitted to appreciate teacher's like these; but they are the teachers whom we love to remember in after years, and of whom we grow enthusiastic when we are recommending our alma mater to our friends. The University truly needs for the people to know and to be capable of appreciating these members of the faculty. And we may add that this is just as great a need of the people as of the University. Both would find this mutual acquaintance and appreciation equally advantageous. How this is to be done is not so simple an affair, but it is a simple affair for each professor, each student, each citizen to do his best in attaining the desired end. The faculty must thoroughly understand its obligations to the people in general and its dependence upon them and the people ought to know and feel proud of our faculty not on account of the glaring newspaper head lines recounting the deeds, real or imaginary, of some pyrotechnic professor, but on account of the true scholarship, the character-building influence, the true worth in genuine manhood and womanhood of most of our teachers, making up the general average of them all.
The Scientific Standing of State University.
Not long ago a small group of scientific men, lounging in the hotel lobby of an eastern city, fell to discussing the scientific work and the scientific spirit in the colleges and universities of the great middle west. In this group were men from Yale, Cornell and other eastern schools; also men from representative western institutions, and one of these was from Kansas. The eastern men, complaisantly ignorant of the
416
Kansas University Weekly.
conditions in the west, listened half incredulously to the statements of the western men. It was stated that in some points, though not in all, the scientific work of these western schools was on a par with those of the east. The discussion drifted around and around this point and then drifted away, as is the wont of such discussions.
The question raised is a fair one. To answer it we shall take an average western State University and examine into its scientific achievements and equipment. Kansas state university is a typical and fairly representative western institution. It is a well-rounded, symmetrically developed school, yet relatively strong on the scientific side. In the space at our disposal we shall not be able to touch upon every department and phase of scientific work, but must content ourselves with a cursory view of its most salient features. When we have measured the altitude of the highest peaks of a mountain range, we can readily estimate the height of the intervening peaks and thus get an adequate conception of the elevation of the range as a whole.
Two factors must always enter into any estimate of the scientific work of a university, the attainments and scientific spirit of its instructors and the material equipment in the way of laboratories, museums and apparatus with which they must do their work. These are varying factors, as we shall see later. In point of material equipment which money can buy Kansas University must yield the palm to the wealthier institutions of the east; but in point of attainment and enthusiasm of her faculty she suffers less in the comparison.
The Natural History building, Snow Hall is crowded from the basement floor to the rafters in the garret with materials for scientific research. The collection is especially strong in Vertebrate Paleontology. In this large collection are to be found some of the rarest fossils in the world, bird, beast and fish, all carefully mounted so that they can be inspected and minutely studied Almost every year expeditions composed of instructors and students bring back from the greatest collecting fields of the world new forms
and types of extinct animal life. Dr. Williston who is surrounded by an able corps of assistants is an acknowledged authority in this line of work, unflagging in his industry and untiring in his devotion to the interest of the students. In this particular department of scientific work Kansas State University is clearly superior to anything in the west and the acknowledged peer of any institution in the east.
Another strong feature of the museum in Snow Hall is the collection of North American mammals. This collection contains specimens of both the skin and the skeleton of almost every mammal known in North America. The skins are mounted with the greatest care and grouped so artistically that the beholder hardly believes that they are motionless. The mounted skeletons are exceedingly valuable for the study of comparative anatomy. Prof. Dyche has recently added valuable specimens from the Arctic regions and is now in Alaska collecting for the museum. The collection of birds is second only to that of the mammals. Every detail of the work of mounting these specimens is done in Snow Hall and the student has the opportunity to learn the whole process from the mysteries of the tan vat to the planning of a group of Polar bears. Prof. Dyche's exhibition at the world's Columbian Exposition was a revelation to naturalists and it was conceded that nowhere had the taxidermic art reached a higher development than in the University of Kansas.
The work in Geology centers about the State Geological Survey which the University is authorized to undertake. During the winter months extended courses of lectures are delivered touching every phase of Geology, physical historical, dynamical, and economic. In the laboratories are studied rocks, minerals, crystals, ores, fossils and soils. During the summer months the Director, Prof. Haworth, directs and personally conducts parties of students and others in the field work of the survey. In due time every township in the state of Kansas will have been examined and its natural resources

reported upon. The results of this survey are being published in a series of volumes which have already taken a high rank in the geological literature of the country.In the quality of the work done here and in the facilities offered to the student of Geology the Kansas State University ranks well with the best eastern Universities.
In regard to the work done in Chemistry we are limited by the necessities of space to the consideration of a single point. The most noteworthy achievement in chemistry in recent years has been the discovery by Lord Rayleigh and Prof. Ramsey of two new elements, argon and helium. The presence of argon in the atmosphere had not been discovered sooner because the methods and instruments of chemists were too crude to detect it. The isolation of argon is a remarkably delicate piece of work requiring the most skillful manipulation. Few and far between are the chemical laboratories in this country where Rayleigh's and Ramsey's discoveries have been successfully repeated and verified. Nowhere has this work been more skillfully done than by Prof. Franklin in the laboratories at Lawrence.
In the great science of pure Mathematics but little material equipment is necessary in order to prosecute vigorous research. It requires only a supply of reference books and a corps of instructors able and willing to guide the student through the well-ordered, cultivated fields of mathematical knowledge to the borders of the unknown and there point out to him green fields and still waters 'whose rim no foot has trod'. The mathematical instructors in Kansas University have especially cultivated the field of geometry. In this branch at least the work done by them and the courses offered are equal in comprehensiveness, in breadth and modernness of view to those of any other University east or west. The first degree of Doctor of Philosophy given by the University was bestowed upon Dr. Emch for a Dissertation prepared under the direction of Prof. Newson; this thesis has just been issued from the press and no verdict has yet been pronounced.
In this comparison of east and west the applied as well as the pure sciences must be included. The school of technology in the Kansas University is by no means complete; as yet only certain lines of work have been developed. We select two points for comparison; practical surveying and electrical engineering.
The facilities for acquiring a practical knowledge of all kinds of surveying are to be found at Lawrence. All the theories from that of simple land surveying to the higher problems of geodesy are taught by competent and experienced instructors. The student is taught the use of delicate instruments of the latest and most approved patterns. He goes into the field in the summer months and there acquires by actual work on real problems a practical mastery of land, railroad, topographical surveying, leveling, etc. The tree is best known by its fruits. Men who have studied their profession with Prof. Marvin in the Kansas State University are to be found in the railway-construction and government surveying camps all over the west.
The latest building erected on the grounds of the Kansas University is a large stone structure with a handsome interior finish; this building is for the use of the students and instructors in electrical engineering. It is well designed for its purpose and contains commodious offices, lecture rooms, laboratories, research rooms, etc. all well supplied with apparatus of the latest designs. These facilities are utilized for the study of the practical applications of electricity. In the adjacent workshops the student acquires the manual skill so essential to an electrician. He learns to handle electrical machinery and actually constructs for himself dynamos, motors, transformers. He becomes able to wire a building, to establish and run an electric light plant, to construct an electric railroad. These fine facilities furnished by the state of Kansas enable Prof. Blake and his very able assistants to give instruction in applied electricity not inferior to that given in more renowned schools in the east.

Kansas University Weekly.
We must here close the account; we have not said all that might have been said on this subject, for some strong points have not been touched upon. But enough has been said to establish the thesis, that in some directions the scientific work at a typical western university is equal to that done in the east.
Language Work in the University.
The language departments of the University are rapidly approaching a completeness of equipment that they have hitherto lacked because of the small size of the Library. While to learn a language does not require many books, to use it in the study of literature according to modern methods and so as to secure the best results requires an ample equipment; there is practically no limit to the number of books that can be used to advantage in any department. And after the standard editions and the new books are provided, and all things are in order for the prosecution of regular class work, there is another need yet to be provided for in order to make possible that scientific and historical study of languages and literatures which is usually associated with post graduate work. Works of the sort here needed are often rare and out of print, to be had only as chance brings them up for sale, no matter how large may be the fund available for their purchase. The older colleges whose libraries have been accumulating for perhaps a century or more, have herein a distinct advantage over the younger institutions, that they have acquired by a natural process many works now almost or entirely impossible to obtain; and if they have at the same time accumulated an immense quantity of mere rubbish, as is usually the case, this in no sense destroys the usefulness or the value of the treasures.
The department libraries of the young University of Kansas contain no rubbish, except what may become such as publication advances, and within the last five years it has acquired many treasures, and has begun to accomplish something in the direction of special graduate
training. But the provision for the undergraduate, thanks to a library fund not large but admirably expended, is become comfortably adequate, and in this respect older institutions no longer have the great advantage over us that they formerly possessed.
Perhaps the special feature that distinguishes modern University training in language and literature from that of a former day and that which still obtains in some of our older institutions is its practicalness. It is not so many years since the prospective student was everywhere received much like a piece of metal at a manufactory, thrust into a machine, and received at the other end in such a form that he might be supposed interchangeable with any of his fellows. Today, with the exception of certain broad general requirements, such for example as that a student in the department of Arts shall not ignore Latin and that he shall devote a certain minimum of time to the general subject of language and literature, he is in the University of Kansas expected to shape his course in accordance with his own tastes in so far as those tastes have influenced him in shaping his choice of a life work; and the question is no longer how much he lacks of having gone through a certain prescribed course, but what will help him most in the business or profession he proposes to follow.
One result of this increased freedom of choice is the greater prominence given to the study of modern languages as compared with their status in some older institutions. There have been and perhaps there are still institutions where almost no practical training either required or optional was given in English expression, but only a short course of recitations upon a text-book,and where a minimum of the study of French and German was required, while there was required two full years of work in the the classics, in addition to the option of two additional years. That there is less need for practical training in the mother-speech in those parts of the country where the best known universities are located certainly does not follow
Kansas University Weekly.
419
from revelations recently made public; on the contrary it is certain that none too soon are some of them giving increased attention to the practical side of language training. Increased attention to modern languages does not necessarily mean that the classics should receive less attention; Latin and Greek have a practical as well as a literary value; but it does mean that a just balance should be preserved.
In accordance with what may be called the modern plan of instruction, the language departments in the University of Kansas emphasize first the practical side, in the required part of the work, while a wide range of specialization in language and literature, limited only by the size of the library, is offered through optional studies to those who can make use of them, or desire to pursue them.
In English the required work embraces a severe course in composition, which means actual writing and not reciting upon a text, and a general review of the outlines of English literary history. This basis is essential to further progress in any direction; and upon it the student may build at his pleasure, either the study of literature, or of philology, or of literary production, so that with the present facilities for graduate work he may spend from one year to five or six in the study of his own tongue. A wider range is offered in some of the older institutions with larger libraries and larger faculties in this department, but as to others the opportunities offered by our own university, notwithstanding its restrictions, are very superior.
Instruction in Greek and Latin is given by a professor and an assistant in each language. Since all students enter with three years of Latin, provision is made only for advanced work, which may be continued for one, two, three, or four years. Since so many enter without Greek, provision is made not only for advanced work, which may be continued one, two, three or four years, but also for beginning Greek in any year of the course and continuing it any number of years desired.
In all work done in both languages, an attempt is made to lead the student both to learn the language and to read the literature. There is sufficient grammatical drill to do the former, and to establish the necessary basis for doing the latter. The literature actually read in class is treated as a model for all later private reading, that is, with reference to its practical value and its bearing upon its literary discussions and problems of to-day.
All texts read are illustrated by maps, charts, plates, and photographs, a large number of which are on exhibition on the walls of the Classical Museum and the recitation rooms, while more still are at the service of the instructors. The Classical Museum contains also a series of casts illustrating the best periods of Greek and Roman sculpture, besides a number of busts of Roman emperors, and models of the Acropolis of Athens and a pediment of the temple of Zeus at Olympia. 900 stereopticon slides are at command, and are used in lectures on subjects of interest to students of Greek and Latin.
A Greek Symposium and Latin Seminary bring together at regular intervals all students of each department to hear lectures by instructors or reports on special work by students.
The Law School.
Since the graduation of the first class—that of '80, the progress and growth of the Law Department has been steady and rapid. In 1880 there were eight graduates. On last Commencement Day forty-two persons, two of whom were ladies, received diplomas while the enrollment for the whole school was 126.
From a feeble beginning the school of law is now one of the leading departments of the University and exercises a most potent influence in moulding the affairs of the institution. In everything which concerns the students of the University, whether it be debate, oratory, or athletics, the law school maintains a prominent position.
All this is mainly due to the earnestness and enthusiasm of the law student body. Loyalty
420
Kansas University Weekly.
to the interests of one another is a leading characteristic. Each student feels that he has the sympathy and kindly regard of his fellows and instructors as well—Friendly rivalry and criticism prevails on every hand. Accuracy is insisted upon and the student who is not carefnl in making his statements and drawing his con conclusions very soon realizes his mistake and finds that it is hard and faithful work only that wins.
The school is composed of young men from every part of the state, besides a number from neighboring states. Some enter after graduation from the regular collegiate course of the University; many also enter who are former school teachers and who make good students; others take special courses in the University before entering. The course in History by Prof. Hodder is especially adapted to students expecting to study law. Every law student who can, should avail himself of the opportunity offered by the course under Prof. Hodder. The study of law will be easier, and when he leaves school he will be better fitted to begin the practice of his professson.
The advantages of a law school are too manifest, almost, to be enumerated. The person studying in an office has not the opportunities for discussion that he possesses in a school. Besides, the practicing lawyer has no time to devote to the student and often has not sufficient knowledge of the subject under consideration by the student to act in the capacity of a teacher, and many of the points brought up have been forgotten by him. On the other hand, the instructor in the law school gives all his time and attention to these very subjects which the attorney, except as they come up in his practice, never investigates. But it is needless to continue further in a statement of the superior facilities which the school affords over the office. It is not a debatable question.
same question might be asked in regard to attending a school of any kind.
The query is often made by some that since it is then desirable to attend a law school, why not attend one in the East as for example Harvard, Cornell or Columbia; we answer that the
No one for a moment would question the wisdom of the action of a young man for completing a course at the University of Kansas. For the same reason that the young man completes this course, should he not complete a law course here if he wished to engage in the legal profession.
While the facilities in some respects may be better in a few of the larger schools in the East, we think our law school possesses advantages of its own that afford a compensation. The eastern schools may have larger libraries, a larger corps of instructors and larger classes; all this may be true, and yet these same advantages may prove to be real causes of weakness. A large class renders individual recitations impracticable if not impossible, and the instructor is obliged to resort to the lecture method of conducting the recitation. By this method competition in class-room work is stifled, interest flags and the relations between instructor and students are of the most formal kind. On the other hand, in schools such as ours where the classes are smaller, the individual does not loose his identity as the utmost freedom of discussion is allowed and the relations between instructor and student are most cordial and sympathetic.
The Law School of the University of Kansas promises a most brilliant and useful future career. With its able and efficient Dean and his earnest and enthusiastic assistants; with an alumni and student body who have learned to love and venerate it, it is only a question of time when it shall be the leading law school in the West.

Spooner Library.
Spooner Library has made a substantial growth during the past year, 2265 volumes have been added, which makes a total of 25,000 well selected books. We are proud to have reached the number of 25,000 in our accession book
Kansas University Weekly.
421

and feel that that fact makes this year a memorable one in the history of the Library.
In looking over the accessions for the year, we find that stress has been laid upon securing or completing sets of periodicals. Among the most noteworthy of these are: Liebig's Annalen der Chemie, The Philosophical Transactions the of Royal Society, The Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, Bulletin of the Nuttall Ornithological Club, Journal of the American Geographical Society. Mittheilungen des Kaiserlich Deutschen Archaeologischen Institutesin Athen, The Astronomical Register,and Education. The periodical subscription list has been extended so that we now receive about 359 magazines.
Some of the most valuable books that have been added are: Rashdall's Universities of Europe in the Middle Ages, Furtwängler's Masterpieces of Greek Sculpture, Memoirs of Barras, Traill's Social England, Luther's Work in the Weimar Edition, Marmontel's Oeuvres Complètes, Winsor's Memorial History of Boston, Merguet's Lexion zu den Schriften Cicero's and Viollet-le-Duc's Dictionnaire Raisonné de l'Architecture Française.
There has been a marked increase in the number of readers in the general reading-room.
And the plan of having the books upon special subjects in the Seminary rooms where the students in these Departments have free access to them, has proved satisfactory.
The card catalogue has reached such a state of completion as to be a very great assistance to the students.
The addition of two assistants to the library corps is another evidence of progress. Miss Edith Clarke, of '95 has just finished her first year in the Library. She has had charge of four Seminary rooms—English, American History, Latin and German, and Philosophy. Mr. John Collins, '99, has been appointed a student assistant at the delivery desk for next year.
These two assistsants with Miss Rogers in the Sociology room, Miss Gillham and Mr. Thomas at the Delivery-desk, Miss Sutliff in the Catalogue room,Mr. Engle at the accession book, two attendants in the Law Library, and Miss Watson, the Librarian, will constitute the library force for next year.
Physical Training and General Athletics.
It is unfortunate that the University does not possess a gymnasium, and an athletic field for girls. With the present equipment, there is a lack of opportunity for training boys in general athletics because of the limited indoor space

and the large size of the classes; while the girls lack the advantage that comes from special open air exercises. In the case of young men, there is a tendency, where there is not a gymnasium, to devote the chief attention to those forms of athletic sport which are engaged in by the few while the many simply look on; and to guard against carrying this tendency to an extreme, and to provide systematic training for every student, is the aim of the University management.
While competent training and instruction is provided for all who care to enter the competition for places upon University teams, and the exercise is in every way beneficial to those who avail themselves of it, it is not that best adapted for the general student body, even if the general student body cared to engage in it. To meet the needs of all, there is provided during the first two years of the University course, what may be called a regular course in general athletic exercises, involving the use of gymnasium apparatus during those portions of the year when indoor work is necessary, and ending with open-air training in the spring. The director in this department, Rev. H. W. Cowan, has a national reputation and has in two years brought this department to a high state of efficiency. Independent of the department of physical culture there is an athletic association composed of and officered by students and members of the Faculty, incorporated, and controlling all public contests in which members of the University take part. Under its management are the football, baseball, tennis, rowing and general field sports; and to its efforts are owing the fine athletic field and grand stand now the property of the University, and the general interest in attention to physical culture as a feature of college training which resulted in the creation of a department of physical culture.
While as stated, indoor and field training is required of all, the amount, particularly of the first, is necessarily limited, and must be limited still further as the membership of the University increases, until a capacious gymnasium is secured, as it is hoped that it may be at an early day.
For lack of a gymnasium, the one room now devoted to physical training can be used only on alternate days by boys classes and girls classes respectively, and is in use by other University classes at certain hours of those days. As the girls' classes are smaller, the disadvantage is not so great in their case, and the instructor, Mrs. M. P. Clark, accomplishes creditable results with the means at her disposal. What is needed is a broadening of the work along lines already laid down, and while the entering student may feel assured that his physical welfare will not be neglected, a gymnasium and a specially enclosed athletic field are urgently needed to secure the best results for the health and physical well being of a student body which is rapidly increasing beyond the capacity of every building except those most recently erected.
Our Graduates Abroad.
THE HARVARD COLONY.
One of the indexes of the quality of the work done at a young institution like ours is the standing accorded its graduates in older institutions. No institution in America has higher requirements than Harvard, and our graduates seem instinctively to have turned thither to test themselves by the oldest and highest standard accessible. Graduates of the University of Kansas, provided they are not deficient in German and French, are ranked as Seniors at Harvard. It is fair to say that this difference is recognized as due chiefly to our lower standard for entrance. The rating of a college by the Havard committee depends as much on the record made at Havard by the graduates of the college as on its curriculum. The first Kansas University graduate to enter at Harvard was W. H. Carruth, who took his A.M. there in 1889, and Ph.D. in 1893. Since then the following students have taken a Harvard A.B.: S.C.Brewster, Neil C. Brooks, Wm.Hill (also A.M.), Fred Liddeke,
Kansas University Weekly.
423
M. A. Barber (also A.M.), J. D. Bowersock, jr., (also LL.B.), F.C. Schrader (also A.M.), J.H.Sawtell, Geo.O.Virtue (also A.M.), J.I.Hamaker, F.J.Lange (also A.M.), H.R.Linville, (also A.M.), W.H.Riddle (also A.M.), R.D.O'Leary, Chas.S.Griffin, R.W.Cone, John G.Hall, August P.Zeller. Scarcely one of these has missed being distinguished by honorable mention, by employment in minor positions, by scholarships, or by appointment; Hill, Virtue and Linville were instructors, Barber, Schrader, Hamaker, Hall and Cone had or have assistant's places, Bowersock was one of the editors of the Law Review.
AT OTHER AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES.
Fewer Kansas graduates have attended other American Universities. But wherever they have gone they have made the same honorable record. W. H. Johnson, E. Haworth and E. C. Franklin attended Johns Hopkins, the latter two taking the doctor's degree. W. S. Franklin received the degree S. D. from Cornell, Anna L McKinnon the degree Ph.D., V. L. Kellogg his M. S. and Effie J. Scott, A. B.; E. C. Case was a member of the Cornell colony, but took his Ph. D. at Chicago. J. F. Carlson is the only one of our graduates in the School of Arts of Columbia, but Geo. B. Watson, P.L. Soper, Scott Hopkins, J. W. Gleed and several others graduated from the Columbia Law School, while E. G. Blair distinguished himself in the Medical School and was succeeded by Chas. H. Johnson and others. The Medical School of the University of Pennsylvania has attracted quite a group of K. U. graduates: D. E. Esterly, Ernest F. Robinson, James V. May, B. M. Dickinson, D. H. Spencer and some others. Esterly and Robinson have distinguished themselves by high examinations and received desirable hospital appointments. J. G. Smith, J. G. Wine and others have graduated at the Ann Arbor Law School. H. S. Hadley, R. D. Brown and H. F. Roberts graduated with honors at the Northwestern University Law School. At Princeton Geo. I.
Adams received his Ph. D. and Dwight E. Potter will graduate next year from the Divinity School. C.J.Simmons at Bellevue and W. H.Nevison at Cleveland, were among the first in their classes. Laura E.Lockwood has received the degree of A.M.at Yale,Catharine Merrill at Bryn Mawr,and Gertrude Crotty Davenport and Anne R.Pugh the equivalent of the same at Radcliffe.The first Kansas University graduate to study in Europe was John H. Long, who received his Ph.D. at Tubingen in 1880.Since then many have studied abroad but few have taken degrees.Anna L.McKinnon and Virginia Spencer are finishing long courses of work abroad.
IN ACADEMIC POSITIONS.
Aside from the twelve graduates on the University faculty, where it might be supposed they would be favored, it is a matter of pride to note what positions our graduates have won abroad. John H. Long is Professor of Chemistry in Northwestern University; J. A. Wickersham, Professor of Modern Languages in the Rose Polytechnic; J. D. McLaren, Professor of Biology in South Dakota; A. E. Curdy, Professor of Modern Languages in the Orchard Lake Academy, W. S. Franklin, Professor of Physics in the Iowa Agricultural College; V. L. Kellogg, Professor of Entomology in Leland Stanford; Catharine Merrill, assistant Professor of English in Illinois State University; E. E. Slosson, Professor of Chemistry, University of Wyoming; Anne R. Pugh, Professor of Romance Languages in Wellesley College; W. A. Snow, Instructor in Entomology, Illinois State University; G. O. Virtue, Lecturer in Economics, Chicago University; A. L. Candy, assistant Professor of Mathematics, University of Nebraska; W. H. Riddle, Instructor in Mathematics, University of Minnesota. The temporary appointments of our men at Harvard have already been mentioned.
Graduates and students of the University of Kansas cannot avoid some feeling of pride in examining this record. It ought also to inspire in them a determination to keep the record as good, or make it better.

Alumni as High School Instructors.
The conditions which have constituted the effectual demand for a state university have also called many of its graduates to be instructors in the high schools of the state. It is manifestly proper that the work of the University should be such as to prepare teachers for the more difficult places in the public schools, especially those preparing students for college; it is equally evident that the authorities having charge of such schools should look to the University for candidates to fill those places. So mutually advantageous has this relation between the University and the high schools proven that superintendents and boards of education in some of the best cities of the state apply immediately to the University for an applicant for any vacancy that may occur in their force of teachers. This fortunate situation is largely the result of the successful labors of graduate and other ex-students who have been filling these high school positions. Great credit is due many of them for their capacity and fidelity. More directly than any others, they have carried the university influence to the people and have been instrumental in enlarging that influence by encouraging many students to enter college who would not otherwise have considered the matter seriously.
A complete list of alumni engaged in high school work is impossible. The following are the names of those whom the writer happens to know, together with the places which are and have been occupied by them. Such a list may well be headed with the name of W.H.Johnson,'85, not merely because of long service but on account of unexcelled success as a high school principal. From 1885 to 1891 he had charge of the high school at Emporia. The next three years he was principal of the Lawrence high school during the period when it took the first rank among the preparatory schools of the University. This position he resigned to accept the chair of history and economics at the state normal school. Because of failing health he has recently accepted the principalship of the
high school at Helena, Montana. His place in Lawrence has been acceptably filled by F. H. Olney,'91, who had previously been in charge of the Newton high school. Since its foundation, S. M. Cook,'85, has been at the head of the Dickinson county high school at Chapman, and has at different times had associated with him Mrs. Hattie Williams Whitehill,'85, E. C. Hickey,'93, W. W. Reno,'93, and J. H. Mustard,'94. Mr. Hickey is now located at Florence and Mr. Mustard has served a year at Minneapolis. Before Mr. Olney, Dr. L. M. Powell,'85, conducted the high school at Newton, and since the former came to Lawrence, W. S. Allen,'88, has occupied that position. Newton has also employed Nina Bowman,'93, E. C. O'Bryon,'94, D. R. Krehbeil and E. P. Lupfer. The University has sent to Topeka L. M. Powell, W. E. Higgins,'88, Mrs. Mary Woodward Doran,'81, Mary E. Wilder,'82, Mrs. Hattie Williams Whitehill,'85, Ova P. Davis,'92, Mary W. Barkley,'94, Anna E. Murphy,'83, and M. L. Field, normal '85. At Leavenworth are Florence Reasoner,'90, and Rose R. Morgan,'94, in the high school and B. K. Bruce,'85, and Eva Halstead, normal '84, in the grades. Effie J. Scott,'91, who has been there for the past two years has been called to a place in the University faculty. S. J. Hunter,'93, who for three years has conducted the Atchison county high school has also been called to the University. H. F. M. Bear has for several years been superintendent of schools at Wellington where the high school has been in charge of J. E. Dyche,'92, and T. M. Butcher,'94, assisted, part of the time, by J. E. Baker,'94. The high school of Kansas City, Kans., is under the supervision of George E. Rose, normal '83, assisted by M. E. Pierson, normal '85, J. W. Hullinger,'96, and C. H. Nowlin; while in the list of instructors of the high school of Kansas City, Mo., are Eveline Gano, normal '83, Mary E. Wilder,'81, and E. E. Rush,'95. Of all the cities in the state none have kept more closely in touch with the University than has Abilene. Among the gradu-

Of these Mr. Jenks served as principal of the Ottawa high school for some time and then took up the profession of law,Mr. Graham was superintendent of the Horton schools for several years and is now practicing law in Holton,Mr. Brown is also engaged in the same profession in Burlington,and Mr. Barnes goes to Beloit as principal of the high school.In Colorado are F.H. Clark,normal'83,superintendent at Aspen,Ezra W.Palmer,'94, principal at Colorado City,and Inez L.Taggart,'90,in the Denver high school.E.L.Cowdrick,normal'84,has been superintendent at Wamego for a number of years; Mrs. Emma Dunn Wilmoth,'90,is in the high school at Concordia;Henry C.Fellows was for some time principal of the Washington academy;Dwight E.Potter,'92,after acting as principal for Peabody studied theology at Princeton and is now located at Great Bend.J.H. Sawtell,'92,is at Salina;Kate Blair,'93,is in the Atchison county high school; Henry Fiegenbaum,'93,is assistant to Mr.Dyche at Horton;M.E.Hickey'95,is principal of the high school at Winfield.Maggie S.Rush,'83,who has been in the high school at Minneapolis takes a transfer to Argentine;Henry C.Riggs,'93,moves from Beloit to Osborne: Josie Wilson,'93,is still at Cawker City;S.C.Bloss,'94, resigns his place as superintendent at Pleasanton to go to Harvard;Fred N. Howell '94,continues at Fredonia;Henry O.Kruse,'94,stays at Halstead,as does L.A.Lowther '94,at Cottonwood Falls;A.O.Garrett,'95, continues to teach the sciences at Fort Scott; J.F.Messenger,'95 is at Hutchinson; Walter R.Cranc,'95,goes to Beloit;Florence E. Parrott,'95,leaves Pittsburg for a place in the Lawrence high school;Theo.H.Sheffer,'95,remains at Delphos;and S.A.M.Young,'95,takes the principalship at Independance. Several of the class of '96,have secured places
but mention of them appears in an other colum of the WEEKLY. Among the alumni in Lawrence not already mentioned are Belle Spencer, '92, A. N. Topping, '94, Arthur Corbin, '94, who takes the place of his sister, Alberta L. Corbin, '93,and Mrs. Cora Kimball Melvin, '87,in the high school; and Mary G. Gilmore, '84, Julia G. Flinn, '86, Laura E. Lyons, '86, Cora E. Becker, '93, Nellie V. Morris, '93, and Edna Jones, '93, in the grades.
The foregoing are some of the alumni who are contributing, through the medium of the public schools, to the ,, higher life" of the state. May that number increase until the University shall be represented in every high school in the state, and may their work be appreciated as it deserves.
Student Life in the University.
The aim of every student at a college or university should be primarily to study, and in this pursuit most of the life at college should be spent. There are some, however, who give but little time and thought to this prime object and waste opportunity in either serious or, more frequently, frivolous occupations outside. All who fail to appreciate the object of their stay at the University fail to realize the best result of scholarship, but for all students there is a side to life which is important and about which prospective students and their friends desire to know before deciding upon an institution to attend. Beside the scholastic advantages of this school or that, what are the opportunities for the development of the religious and social life?
On the religious side the University of Kansas offers, first of all, a city of churches, the pastors and congregations of which are generally ready to extend a cordial welcome to all University students. Several of the churches are in the habit of holding students' socials to cultivate the acquaintance of students and interest them in religious and social life. The city Y.M.C.A.is an attractive organization and at its rooms the young men of the Univer-
426
Kansas University Weekly.
sity are always welcome. Besides, the University has its own Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C. A. organizations which aim to take hold upon every student who is willing to take advantages they offer. The chapel exercises held every morning in University Hall are a source of daily help to a large number. At the exercises the professors and pastors who are willing take part. Their influence is all the more beneficial as attendance is entirely optional to all.
On the social side the University and the city can cater to the most varied tastes. If you belong to the upper ten of society at home and desire to enter exclusive society here, you can find as uppish people here as you can wish. Whether you can manage to enter their circles will depend upon you and the recommendations you can bring, and whether it will be a good thing for you to seek such society must depend upon you and what you are here for. If you are of a gay and sportive temper you can find a fraternity to suit your case exactly, and if you want genuine brothers or sisters to fraternize with, they can be found. But all such organizations have their own ways of introducing themselves, and holding themselves aloof; so that they should be given some reflection before a decision is made for or against them.
Boarding clubs, dancing clubs, musical societies and others are on the ground and are ready to offer their own peculiar advantages to those who belong to them, but the numbers that can be reached by them are necessarily limited.
The most important of all the social opportunities offered in our institution is no doubt the open door of many of the best homes of the city. Many of our best citizens make it a point to cultivate the acquaintance of students and gladly receive and entertain them at their homes. As is natural, this is more particularly true of the professors than of others. Several of the professors keep open house to students every Friday evening of the year.
As suggested at the beginning, the time of the student for these matters is not great after the principal object of attendance has received its share, but both religious and social opportunities are considerable—sufficient and wholesome for all students of right motives and habits.
Scholarships.
For the first time in its history the University is able to present to the public a statement of a respectable beginning in the direction of scholarships and other financial help for students in this institution. At the annual meeting of the Alumni Association in June it was decided to offer a general undergraduate scholarship of one hundred dollars to students of the schools of Arts and Engineering, to be known as the "D. H. Robinson Scholarship," in honor of our late lamented Professor Robinson. The rules to regulate the awarding of this scholarship are to be left to the faculties of the schools concerned. The matter will no doubt receive the attention of the faculties early in September. This scholarship will be available next year, as the Alumni Association is able to meet its part of the engagement at once. Through the generosity of citizens of Lawrence, Dr. Holmes offers a post-graduate scholarship of one hundred dollars per year for the encouragement of advanced study in the Latin department. This plan can do donbt be realized as soon as a suitable candidate can be found to receive the help. In the Pharmacy school Professor Sayre has at his disposal the sum of fifty dollars which he employs in the assistance of the students of that department. Besides these provisions the "Students' Loan Fund"—the special care of graduating classes—now amounts to several hundreds and is wisely administered by a competent committee. What has been done in this direction is all of recent date and it is hoped that it is only a beginning that may be speedily followed by many other enterprises of a similar character.

The Pi Club and the Work in Astronomy.
There is in the Department of Mathematics a seminary, known as the "Pi Club," devoted to the consideration of questions in pure and applied mathematics, and to the presentation and discussion of papers showing what is being done by instructors and students along original lines.
The Department of Astronomy is in charge of Prof E. Miller. No credit is allowed for work done elsewhere in general or descriptive astronomy, when that work embraces no more of the subject than is to be found in the usual high school astronomies.
The classes in general or descriptive astronomy are optional classes and are with few exceptions made up of students who are Juniors or Seniors. The text book used is Young's General Astronomy, supplemented with night work given to the study of the heavens. A thousand-dollar telescope renders valuable assistance in this kind of astronomy.
Mathematical and practical astronomy can be pursued with advantage by those only who have the necessary mathematical training and knowledge. All civil engineering students are required to take this subject, and those who are prepared in mathematics who choose to do so are permitted to avail themselves of the advantages of a course in practical astronomy.
One of the things in which Treasurer Moody takes a pardonable pride is the elegant display of pennants which decorates his office and constantly recalls the victories which the University athletic teams have achieved in recent years.
New Books.
A MOUNTAIN WOMAN, and other Stories, by Elia W. Peattie, Chicago, Way & Williams.
These stories, some of which had appeared in standard journals, are not commonplace. The most striking feature of the collection is its variety. There is not one certain pitch and key, as in Barrie or Kipling, maintained throughout. The mountain woman is a sort of Rocky Montain Undine—grace, dreaminess and primitive strength combined; Jim Lancy's Waterloo is a picture of Hamlin Garland's Nebraskans, but done with more refined art than that gentleman permits himself to use; The Three Johns are more like Bret Harte's people, and so on. Not that these sketches would be regarded as imitated from those authors, but this is the simplest way to characterize them. A Lady of Yesterday is over fanciful and symbolic; A Resuscitation depicts a very improbable situation: a young man of blameless reputation gets drunk as a result of a disappointment, kills a man in a brawl and is sent up for twenty years; the lady he supposed he had lost is waiting for him when he leaves the penitenitary his sentence not reduced by the best behavior. Up the Gulch is the only one of the stories that presents false characters—a German, mature when he comes to America, who swears, and talks in American slang and shows no sign of his native language, and a refined, delicate, loving mother of two children, who goes from her husband and children to a health resort and permits the said German to suppose her unmarried and waste his poor

sentiment on her. But these are the chief weaknesses. Two Pioneers is a very good sketch, in the spirit of Victor Hugo. A priest is the hero, a courtesan the heroine. There are many good descriptions and touches that tempt to quotation. "To be master of the soil, that is one thing; to be the slave of it is another." "These men seem to have got their souls all covered with muck." "The big base-burner erected in all its hideousness in the middle of the front room, like a sort of household hoodoo, to be constantly propitiated like the Gods of Greece." "It takes some money for a man to be economical with." "A strong, splendid laugh, which had never had the joy taken out of it by drawing-room restrictions." Don't you want to read it, after that?
THE LAMP OF GOLD, by Florence L. Snow, Chicago, Way & Williams.
The sonnet is the perfection of poetic form. One must have a great clear thought to put into it. A thought that would do very well for an ordinary set of four-line stanzas may seem unsatisfactory in this noble body. By choosing a sonnet sequence Miss Snow challenges the most conscientious criticism. The title, the grouping into seven groups of seven, and the sub-titles rouse expectations of a deep significance in the whole—a significance which shifts from one form to another, and finally quite eludes me. Why not let me think that this is simply a panorama of your spiritual and poetical development? But, as it is, now I think your poet is your own soul, now Lee-Hamilton, now some great favorite, as Tennyson; now I think your lover is a real lover, now an ideal lover, now your woman friend, now the Christ. What is your lamp of Gold? Love? Poetic inspiration? Christianity? I have discussed the question with seven critical friends, seven times with each, and we cannot agree. Why have any lamp of gold? Let me look at these sonnets singly, and I shall find some fine ones, some good ones and some I do not like so well. Shall I tellyou which? Nearly all of the sonnets in the sections DAYBREAK and MIDMORNING, because they are
clear and objective. I know what they say, and it is good and well said. Especially good are those beginning, "O blessed wonderings of the blessed time," "No wonder when the day-spring from on high," "The after years hold nothing half so sweet," and, best of all, this:
How good it was beneath the mounting moon
To loiter past the hazel thicket where
The baby nuts in such green growth were born
And hid away with such especial care!
And then to lean against the ancient elm
That always watched my journeyings to and fro.
And, looking upward, find the fairy realm
That only birds and children ever know!
Or stretched full length upon the mossy ground,
Where fringing fern so tenderly uncurled,
How dear it was to catch the elfin sound
That sometimes echoes from the under-world,
And learn the secrets of the quiet nook
So fondly cherished by the faithful brook."
The chief fault of those poems I do not like so well is an uncertain vagueness--the author did not wrestle long enough with the form, and it mastered her. Thus "Every spoken word that men might share," where "men might share" adds nothing, but is misleading; the line merely means "Every spoken word of men." Thus also:
"The gladdest singer voices many a strain,
"The gladdest singer voices many a strain. Beneath the anguish sobbing through the world That feels the impress of the sacred gain Within the heart of grief so purely pearled."
I have spent several hours trying to get the connection of those phrases. Perhaps a better punctuation would help them. All the sonnets are in the Shakespearean form, and smoothly done save a few inadvertent hexamters. And should you get the book? Certainly; because it is the most ambitious work thus far put forth by a Kansas author, and because it contains poetry, and is altogether clean and fine in its tone and purpose. W.H.C.

U. of K. at Lake Geneva.
The University Young Men's Christian Association was represented at the Students' Conference at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, in June, by Willis Henderson who was regularly chosen as a delegate, and by J. H. Engle, who went as a substitute for Walter Douglas.
Lake Geneva, a beautiful body of water about four by ten miles in extent, whose native and artificial surroundings simply beggar description, is situated about two hours' ride northwest of Chicago. Y.M.C.A.Camp lies in the very shadow of the new Yerkes Observatory, whose rising towers speak with hopeful significance of the days that are to be. Thoughtful students found little room for rude aspersions against accumulated wealth in the presence of such munificence so near their plain yet charming camp.
Our delegates speak with enthusiasm of the rare advantages for religious, social and physical recreation there afforded. Religious instruction and meditation, conferences upon methods in association work, lectures on the merits of the various professions and callings as life work for young men, rambles singly or in groups over the delightful hills which skirt the clear and placid lake, contests in light athletics, rowing and bathing daily except Sundays, were the agreeable and wisely varied means of turning the outing to good account.
The most altruistic will concede that it is a rare experience to spend ten days among three hundred strong young men without hearing an oath, or even hearing a story of unquestionable propriety, without observing the scent of liquor or tobacco, and also without observing any of the cant which has served to make the religious life so distasteful to many otherwise excellent young men, yet this is no exaggeration of the situation at Lake Geneva.
It is but just to expect that the delegates who enjoyed these rare advantages will succeed in reflecting a due degree of helpful sympathy into the lives of their fellow students.
Miss Martha Snow, who has recently returned home, and Miss Emma Barber, who lingers during these hot weeks with friends at Milwaukee, were the Y. W. C.A.delegates to a similar conference of young women at the same place in the early days of this month. They seem equally delighted with the work of their conference and the association will doubtless find cause to regard their expenditure a wise one. J. H. E.
From An Alumnus.
Judge C. W. Smith,'75, of the 34th Judicial District, writes as follows in a letter regretting his inability to be present at the Alumi Reunion:
"It has been a disappointment to me not to be able to visit Alma Mater at the period of her flowers and ceremonies. Though it has been twenty years since I bid her halls 'good bye,' I have as warm a feeling for her as at the time of leaving. I am glad to know that she is becoming strongly intrenched in the good will and esteem of the people of the State. I have six children whom I hope to see receive certificate of work well done at the hands of her faculty some time in the not distant future."
Judge Smith has occupied the honorable position which he holds for several terms and is one of the most respected judges in the state of Kansas.
The members of the Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Associations have in press an admirable little hand-book containing valuable information concerning the University. It is vest pocket size and is carried by many students as a ready reference book throughout the year. A copy will be mailed any one upon application to the president of either association at Lawrence, Kansas.
Within the period of a single school generation, four years, there has been at the University an interestig coincidence in names; W. W. Brown, S. S. Brown, C.C. Brown and E.E. Brown all being familiar figures on Mt. Oread.

The Kansas University Quarterly.
Vol. 5, No.1 of this publication is out and proves to be a number of unusual merit. Its four principal articles reveal a degree of original research which would reflect credit upon older and wealthier institutions.
"Projective Groups of Perspective Collineations in the Plane, treated Synthetically" by Mr. Arnold Emch, is a dissertation presented to to the Faculty of the University of Kansas to attain the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. "Hoplophoneous Occidentalis", being the description of a restoration in paleontologic research, is Mr. E. S. Riggs' master's thesis. Dr. S. W. Williston contributes a treatise on "One of the Dermal Coverings of Hesperornis," a paper which is certain to attract the attention of leading scientists. Of a more popular character is the admirable address on "The Duty of the scholar in Politics" delivered before the Kansas chapter of Phi Beta Kappa by Prof. Frank Heywood Hodder. The Monroe doctrine which is the chief topic of this address is treated in an exhaustive and scholarly manner, meriting the careful study of persons interested in international law. This number may be obtained by addressing The University Quarterly, Lawrence, Kans., and enclosing the sum of 50 cents.
Y.W.C.A.
The Lake Geneva Conference has given to the Association a new interest in the work for next fall. The members are anxious to be as helpful as possible to new students. They are making final arrangements for the new Y.W. C.A.House which will provide an ideal college home for a dozen girls. For information in regard to this house write to Miss Martha Snow of Lawrence. For general information and assistance young women expecting to enter the University may write to Miss Agnes Radford also of Lawrence.
Campbell Normal University, following the example of Kansas University has concluded to substitute for the usual orations of graduates on commencement day, an address by some man of distinction from abroad. Their address for the approaching commencement which occurs August 13, will be delivered by Prof. W. H. Carruth.
Manager C. A. Burney of the Athletic Association speaks in glowing terms of the prospects for foot-ball at the University of Kansas this fall. He does not seem to doubt the certain defeat of Missouri in the Thanksgiving game.
The WEEKLY begs indulgence for the omission of any extended notice of the Fine Arts Department. An article promised by competent hands failed to appear. Persons contemplating study in this department will receive the most considerate attention, however, if they will address personally Prof. C. A. Preyer, Acting Dean of the Department.
Rambler Bicycle Agency Established.
H. L. Stevens has secured the agency for the Rambler bicycle, and has already received a shipment of ninety-six wheels. He had the agency for this weeel some time ago but gave it up for various reasons, and since then the manufacturers have had no agency here, and have endeavored to get Mr. Stevens to take it. They wanted to make him sell the Rambler at list price, $100, and he didn't care to take it with that condition. The company has finally consented to let Mr. Stevens sell the wheels at any price he desires so long as he pays them their regular agent's price. Mr. Stevens will sell the regular $100 bicycles for $75, the cheapest that a Rambler has ever been sold.
One of the wheels received by Mr. Stevens the other day was a handsome tandem. It is a combination for lady and gentleman, the drop frame being in front and is a beauty.

LA MODE.
It would be expected that in a University town where a cultured and aesthetic class of young ladies assemble, there would be at least one place, in which the most fastidious may be gratified. La Mode at 821 Mass. St. has had gratifying success in supplying this class of trade and invites the attention of prospective University students to the quality of the goods and work there offered.
Few women are given to practical joking they have too much sense and real goodness of heart to see any fun in that which wounds. Ex.

It's all right about school days being the happiest time in our lives, but you can't make a student believe it around examination time. Ex.
Elsewhere in this issue attention is called to the athletic facilities possessed by the University. In addition, the rowing privileges are worthy of special mention. Mr. Edward Keeny, the proprietor of the Lawrence boat house occupies a commanding position above the dam at the foot of Mass. St., placing at the disposal of rewers the wide and placid Kaw for miles to the westward. Mr. Keeny keeps a good line of light and beautiful boats which may be rented at reasonable rates by the hour or day.
Weaver's Store.
Smith's News Stand is a favorite student resort. When you come to Lawrence call in.
There are stores and stores in Lawrence, but the store that is known as the wide-a-wake up to date dry goods store is Weaver's. No wanted kind of silks or dress goods but what is there and at a lower price than you expect to pay. The fall season will soon open and Mr. Weaver promises his trade the choicest and prettiest lot of silk and wool dress fabrics for fall and winter wear they have ever seen. He will visit the New York market in August and place his orders for winter wraps and you can rest assured that every one will be right. By the way,Mr. Weaver has not a carried-over garment in the house. K.S.U. Students have come to regard the store as their down town headquarters and right glad is Mr. Weaver to have them use the store and its conveniences as they choose. New students are invited to visit the store and see it as it is.
