WE HAVE little to say by way of a prolegomenon. Like every college editor that ever edited we have an unswerving determination to "truly represent our constituents." We do not wish to be like the weather clerk who controls the temperature, nor, on the other hand, like the thermometer which merely registers it; but would occupy an intermediate position, neither presuming to mould public opinion nor allowing ourselves to be wholly controlled by it, but striving to guide and suggest according to our light.
We claim the college editor's privilege to be more or less egotistical and admonitory, but are perfectly willing that others shall smile a little at our conceits, provided that they take us seriously when we are in earnest.
THE "WEEKLY" begins the new year full of hope, and not entirely lacking in confidence as to its ability to fulfil its high calling. It has come to feel quite at home where only a year ago it was an entire stranger and somewhat uncertain as to the reception in store for it. The "WEEKLY" was first a sort of compromise paper, burdened with the duty of representing impartially two antagonistic factions. But it has passed this stage, and no longer feels that it represents two halves but one whole. And by this assurance of the good will of all it is inspired to do its best to be worthy of universal support.
TO THE strangers among us we extend a hearty welcome, and wish you the fullest enjoyment of the many good things to be had in the University of Kansas. And among these good things we can not refrain from mentioning the "WEEKLY" and bespeaking for it your support. In becoming a subscriber to the "WEEKLY" or, better yet, a stockholder in it, you will be improving one of the best opportunities to get an insight into University affairs, and to become familiar with University life. Your connection with the University paper will help to make you at home and will contribute largely to your happiness—as well as to ours.

THE RETURNING students may be divided into two great classes, and all other divisions are insignificant when compared with this dichotomy These two classes are the tanned and the untanned. Now the tanned student is apt to be somewhat proud of his tan, especially if he obtained it by a systematic course of exposures to the sun's rays, with tan as the only end in view. If however tan was a secondary result his satisfaction is correspondingly decreased, and may even be less than nothing.
The untanned student is likewise proud of his tanlessness, and in proportion to the amount of lotion which he has used in untanning himself. And in the end he certainly has the best of it for strict attention to University duties gradually obliterates the line between the two classes and all are soon moving forward in untanned harmony.
IN DENYING the petition of the music school students relative to the redistribution of classes among the professors the regents have undoubtedly acted for the best interests of the school. Prof. Penny's services in building up and broadening the work of the School of Fine Arts have been invaluable. The classes in Harmony are such as naturally belong to him as Dean of the music school, and now that he is entirely relieved of his voice work, which has heretofore claimed most of his time, he will give to these classes his undivided attention. Each professor in the Art School now has his own department, and all are united in the effort to perfect the work.
THE MOST artistic "Summer Number" which we have received is that of the "Western Collegian." The cover design in two colors represents the student "at home" in the hayfield. The sheaves of grain, however, which lie beside him to indicate that he has been laboring were just left there by a self binding reaper which for lack of space does not appear in the cut. The paper used is of the best quality and the number is well illustrated with cuts and half tones.
BY THE removal from the state of Judge James Humphrey the Law school looses one of its strongest lecturers and most active friends. His place will be hard to fill.
WE ARE glad to note that the lecture bureau is already actively engaged in securing entertainments for this year's course. The work of the bureau last year was satisfactory in every respect, and the course this year will be more popular than ever.
To the Alumni of '96, greeting! This, the first number of vol. III.of the "Weekly" is sent to you as a proof that we are still your friends, though you may have concluded ere this that all the world is against you. We shall be pleased to receive your subscriptions and will try to give "value received."
THE STUDENT who comes early has one advantage over the one who comes late in that he has the pleasure of welcoming the others as they arrive. The practice of some students of coming in several days after school work has begun when there is no necessity for so doing, is an unfortunate one, because they not only fail of making the best beginning for themselves but they interrupt and retard the work of others.
WE ARE in the midst of a time of financial depression which might reasonably be expected to have its effect on the attendance at our various institutions of learning. And yet reports from different parts of the country seem to presage the usual increase in the number of those going to colleges and universities. It is especially gratifying to note that this is true of our own University. And it may be that the explanation of this is to be found in the fact that the people at large are feeling more deeply than for many years their responsibility as citizens of a democracy. They are striving to settle in the best way great questions of public policy, and every man feels the need of that insight, and mental reach and power which an education alone can give.

The Student's Capital, Purpose and Aim
Annual Opening Address delivered by Richard Corley D. D. in University Hall, Friday, Sept. 11.1896.
I esteem it a great privilege, and a great responsibility to be permitted to speak the word for which the Regents and Faculty of the University have provided at the opening of the college year. To many it is not only the opening of the college year, but the beginning of the college course. In a very real sense, these are the picked youth of the State of Kansas. This University stands at the head of the educational system of the state. That system is one of graduation from beginning to end, sifting out along the whole process. The grammar grades sift out from the primary, and the high school sifts out from the grammar grades. At the end of each grade only a portion pass on. Then the University sifts from high schools, and receives those who plan for a larger culture and a longer course. It is a sort of survival of the fittest from the first primary to the final graduation. I do not mean by this that all the best minds and best scholars of the high schools come to the University. But it may be safely said that those who have the desire and the courage to undertake a college course are as a whole, the selected product of our school system. They have been sifted out from the thousands who began with them in the lower grades, and have left their companions at different stages as the process went on. In a very real sense we have here the picked specimens of the products of our public schools. This company represents the whole people more truly than any body which assembles. You not only come from all over the state to receive the impress of this institution, but you will go back again to those from where you came, to use your enlarged lives in moving affairs and moulding sentiment. Here is a choice body of youth who have come for enlargement, for strengthening, for refining. It is selected
material from the highest processes of our educational methods.
Youth is itself the interesting season of life. It is the season of hopefulness and inspiration, it is the season of expanding life and of great expectations. It is the season of growth, and the consciousness of growth is the consciousness of strength. The sense of incremeant is a source of satisfaction. It is a sense of daily acquisition, every day a little more, every day a little higher. There is something sad, even though it were satisfactory, in the declaration of John Baptist when he referred to Jesus: "He must increase but I must decrease." His star is in the ascendant but my star is declining. His career is before him, my career is behind me. With the young, life is before them, expressed in possibilities and shrouded in mystery, yet glowing with promise and radiant with hope.
And this spirit of hopefulness and expectancy is not a delusion. It is justified by the situation. Any youth may hope to attain what will justify his dreams. The elements of life are in his hands as he stands at the parting of the ways. It is this which gives every crisis its meaning, and every influence its significance.
You,young men and young women,stand to day at the fountain and within your limit you may take as you will. If we should measure the elements which enter into your career,we could determine the outcome of that career. But there are unknown quantities in the problem and we must wait for the solution.
I want to speak this morning of the elements that measure a student's success and determine his value to himself and the world. I will cluster what I have to say under the points: The Student's Capital; the Student's Purpose and the Student's Aim. In other words we will ask, what has he received of capacity, what will he make of it by training, what will he do with it in life? I speak of the power received, the training given, and the end sought. What has been given him? What will he make of it? What will he do with it?
And first of all we will consider, "the stu-

dent's Capital." A man commencing business must consider the capital he has to work with. As usually considered it is the money in his pocket. A student's capital is the brains in his head. It is the faculties he has been endowed with, the capacity of his mind. Education does not create anything, it only enlarges and refines. It does not create capacity, it only fills out. You have all heard the old story of the rich man's son, who was sent to a noted teacher for training. After a season of trial the teacher sent the boy home with a note, saying, he could do nothing with the boy, for he had no capacity. The father who, like the father of Flora McFlimsey, "Little by little had grown to be rich, by saving of candle ends and sich," wrote back: "Buy him a capacity; we will not stand on a little expense." But capacities are not for sale in the market, and a man can only have what has been given him. Money will buy many things, but not this. A man may buy a poem. In slavery times he might buy a poet, but he can never buy the power to be a poet. An ignorant man was elected to a high office. He went to a judge to be sworn in. "I have been elected to such an office and I want you to qualify me." The judge replied: "I can swear you in but I can not qualify you. That was God's work, and he has not seen fit to do it." No wiser counsel can be given to any student than that which Paul gave to the Roman disciples, "Let no man think more highly of himself than he ought to think, but let him think soberly, according as the Lord hath dealt to every man the measure of faith," that is, the measure of capacity. A student needs to know himself. He needs to cultivate the power he has, and not waste his time in trying to develop powers he never had, and never can have. You can never put a fine polish on a piece of basswood. You can never make a keen blade from a bar of pewter. A tin sword may glisten, but it will never cut Men are not all made alike, and they are not all made of a size. They vary in kind, in quantity, and in quality. And there is a variety of service awaiting their varying capacities.
God meant something in every man's make up. He gave every man his pattern, and if a man insist on making something else of himself, he will spoil the pattern of God. "Poeta Nascitur, non fit"said the Latins. "A poet is born and not made." Not every one can be a poet; or a singer. All men have something of everything, but they are not all endowed alike. All men have something of invention but all men cannot be inventors. All men have something of poetry, but they cannot all be poets—as any editor will tell you in the springtime. All men have music in them, and they say everybody can learn to sing. But as Artemus Ward says: "Some people are saddest when they sing, so are those who hear them." We are often made sorry that our neighbors daughter was taught to play the piano. We are sure the sum of human happiness has not been increased thereby. Every man may do something in all these lines, but not enough to warrant the cost. Dr. Myron Reed says: "Anybody, by endless drudgery, can make himself into a poor painter. But that is not worth while; there is poor painting enough now. Anybody can be taught to play a violin badly. But there is pain enough in the world already." It is better to do a common thing well, than to do an uncommon thing poorly. Better be an expert in frying pancakes, than to be the butt of ridicule in painting pictures.
Nowhere on earth will a man find his true measure so quickly as in college. College life floats in a free fluid and everyone soon finds his true level. A man's real specific gravity is soon determined. College students have no respect of persons and no respect for pretensions. Nowhere on earth will merit find a quicker recognition and nowhere on earth will conceit come to a quicker collapse. The bird that sails in with fine feathers will soon be walking around with bedraggled wings. It often happens that the valedictorian of the high school fancies that God used a special mould when he was made. He has been at the head of his class from the primary room to the final graduation and he expects to be allowed the

same rank when enters he college. If any of you have come here with such an expectation, please don't mention it. You will find the college is bigger than the high school and its standard higher and its competition broader. Keep your thoughts to yourself and wait till you are weighed, then you will take your proper place, and if you must come down do it gracefully. It is not always pleasant to be brought to our level. But like grand mother's catnip tea, "it is good for you." When you have found your level you have a standard from which to reckon progress. You never can reckon progress correctly till you have found your level.
Passing from the student's capital, let us consider the student's purpose. A man's capital is the material with which he works. His purpose is the energy he applies to his work. The capital is important, but the purpose is more important. Many a man with no capital but his hands and his brain, has accumulated a fortune. Many a man who was the heir of "untold gold," has become a pauper and a vagabond on the earth. It is the same with the gifts that constitute the basis of manhood. They are the measure of a man's capacity. A man cannot be what God intended him not to be. But he can fail to be what God intended him for. He can fritter away what was intended for practical service, or he can pervert to evil what was intended for good. The student can increase his capital or he can waste it. He can neglect the gift that is in him or he can improve it. I do not underrate the endowments of God when I say that more depends on you than on your endowments. I do no dishonor God when I say that any man may frustrate the plan of God in his own life. We do not discredit divine grace when we say that any man may "frustrate the grace of God."
People have a great admiration for what they call self-made men. But there is a sense in which no man can be self made; and there is a sense in which every man must be self made. In the definition of some a self-made man is one who has come to eminence without the benefit of schools. They refer to Horace Greeley
acquiring culture as he worked on the printer's case; to Roger Sherman, who studied mathematics and read law as he sat on the shoe bench; to Elihu Burritt, who acquired the elements of a half dozen languages as he worked at the blacksmith's forge; or to Abraham Lincoln, who laid the foundation for his later success as he pushed the flat boat down the river. None of these ever saw the inside of a college until they were invited to come in and instruct college bred men. Others very properly enlarge the application of the term. They ask why was not Garfield a self-made man as really as Horace Greeley? It is true he had the advantage of the best schools and the best teachers he could obtain. But he put himself in these schools of his own choice and he worked his way through academy and college by his own energy. Why was it any less his own work because he sought the best tools he could find? It was his own indomitable purpose which undertook the work and held him to it. He was none the less self-made, because he had the wisdom to make himself that way. And even if a man be born to wealth, he must be self-made, if he be made at all. Wealth may send a boy to school, but wealth cannot make a scholar of him. Wealth can buy a boy books, but it cannot make a well informed man of him. The best schools cannot confer scholarship on indolence, nor can the best teachers give culture to indifference. The diploma of a University is not like a brand of flour, guaranteeing a certain degree of fineness. It simply testifies that the subject has been through the curriculum, as the wheat has been through the mill. But in this case something in the material determines the character of the product. Schools do not make scholars, as churches do not make saints. Schools help men to become scholars, as churches help men to become saints. But the best schools sometimes send out the biggest dunces. No patent of pedagogue or priest can give scholarship without labor, or holiness without sacrifice. On the other hand from the poorest schools good scholars have gone out and from under
10
Kansas University Weekly.
poorest teachers men have gone out well taught. This is no disparagement of teachers or school, but simply affirms that teachers and school can do nothing for a man who will do nothing for himself. Every man must be first of all God-made and it is no discount on this statement when we add, that every man must also be Self-made. It is working together with God; God giving the faculties, and man subjecting himself to conditions of culture. The gifts of manhood do not make a man, unless there be joined with them the manly purpose.
In coming to this University you have shown your appreciation of the larger life possible to you. You will here have the best faculties the state can furnish, and the best teachers the state can secure. You will have libraries and laboratories, apparatus and museums to aid you in your work. I know I am safe in saying, that you come here with a high purpose. You mean to make the most of the opportunities afforded you. Youth is the season of high purpose and noble resolve. The sordid days have not yet come. The groveling spirit has not yet been developed. Young men and young women want to be something and to do something. Not often do they come to a school like this with anything less than the highest aim. But a high aim is not enough. It is the steady aim which attains its end. The men who have failed had a high aim once. But they fell from it. They took hold of the larger life but they let go again. President Ingalls of Dury College, used to say: "It is easier to start than to stick." It is the men who "stick" that win, whether in business or culture. The men who reach the goal are the men who keep pressing towards it. It is the steady purpose which the foes of life assail. The adversary of men does not care how high your resolve if it be not steady. He only has to wait for you to come down. Satan would just as soon have a ninety days Saint as a life long sinner. It is the men who enlist for the war who conquer the foe. The high resolve which brought you here will not serve you, unless you maintain it. The
test will come in keeping it up to grade. A spurt of good resolution may bring you to college, but it will not make a scholar of you Every enemy of the students life will combine against the steadiness of the students resolution And you will be tempted to relax by things which in themselves are right. Your social nature is as much a part of your being as your intellectual nature. If you live a recluse in college you will graduate half a man. But social demands will be numberless and imperious and will tend to absorb your thought, break up your habits and sap the fidelity of your purpose. Unless you stand like a rock to the purpose of a scholar's life you will fail in the thing you came for. Your purpose here is to win the crown of scholarship. "Let no man take thy crown."
You will be tempted too on the side of your physical vigor and bodily health. A cultured mind in a sickly body is a poor and puny thing. "Mens sana in corpore sano" is as true now as in the days of the old Romans. You must maintain your bodily vigor by inceasing care, and abundant exereise. All the manly sports are in order, and you should avail yourself of them. But do not forget that the body is the servant of the mind not its master. You must maintain the body that you may do the better work. You train the body that you may the better train the mind. It must not be permitted to become a hindrance and a limitation. Paul, who has left his impress on nineteen centuries said." I keep my body under." We know he does not mean by this that he neglected his body, but he made it serve the high purpose of his life. The student should join in all the exercises and sports that may give him vigor for better work. But the lower must be kept subordinate to the higher. When he has come to the point when he can hear the shout of a foot-ball team farther than he can hear the sound of the college bell, he no longer "keeps his body under," but has let it master him. His hope of intellectual supremacy has been put in peril.

So young ladies and gentlemen, the outcome of your college life will not turn on your endowments but on your application; not on your opportunities but on your improvement of them. It will not depend on your teachers so much as yourselves, not on how they teach so much as how you learn. It will not depend on the books you read so much as the way you read them; not on the things you see so much as on the way you look at them. Your knowledge of books will not turn on the size or character of your library, but on the spirit and method of your reading. Your scholarship will not turn on your schools or your teachers but on your own fidelity.
Let us look a moment at the Student's Aim. We have considered the gifts and the training, and we now come to the motive of it all. What endowment has he? What is he making of it? and what will he do with it? If you would know how much a man is worth to the world, you must consider all these. You must consider his original capacity, the training he has had, and the motive that controls him. Here is an instrument of steel. You can see that the steel is of the best. The temper and form are of the finest. But you cannot judge of it till you know what it is for. Is it a surgical instrument to relieve pain and save life, or is it a murderous instrument to cause pain and destroy life! You may see a man has talent; you may see he has culture, but you must know what he is aiming at. You are a banker, and a young man applies for the position of cashier. You can see he is gifted; you can see he is a trained expert; but you cannot tell what he would be worth to you till you you know whether he is honest. You must know his character as well as his ability and training. A thousand diplomas would not be worth considering if he were not honest. A life without an aim is without power. A life with a vicious aim is a menace and a curse. A life that pours into itself will stagnate. If one lives merely to make a living it is not worth while living. A life that would be of any value to itself or the world must apply its powers and its training to
a worthy end. It is a great thing to be nobly endowed. It is a great thing to be finely cultured. But it is a greater thing to be well ballasted and rightly poised. Gifts and training are wasted if not used. Gifts and training are worse than wasted if perverted to evil. You cannot tell a man's value by measuring his capacity, or testing his culture. You still ask, "what will he do with them?" It is not a question of power but the application of power. It is not a question of gifts but of the use of gifts. It is not a matter of capacity but of character. Paul and Ceasar were both gifted, and they each conquered the world. One conquered it for himself with the sword. The other conquered it for Jesus with the truth. The world measures them each by his purpose.
And the world has always honored men for their purpose rather than their power. Great power has impressed men but high motive has won men. Men love to remember those who have blessed mankind. The best things and the highest honor come in the line of the best service. The world honors the men who have done something for men.
Five years ago when in London I strolled one day through Westminister Abbey. I was interested to notice what monuments attracted most attention. There were monuments of great kings who had tried hard to be remembered; and there were monuments of great warriors who had fought great battles by sea or land. Some of these monuments were very costly and some of them were very magnificent. Money and genius had combined to make them impressive and imposing so that they should catch the attention of the passers by. At many of these monuments visitors would stop to admire the beauty and grandeur of the work. But as a rule people passed rapidly, only stopping a moment now and then for a second glance at some work of special significance. But if you want to find where the crowd is you will go to the poets' corner. Here men come and keepcoming and come again. Here they linger and wait and look back as they leave as if reluctant to go. Here are the

names of the men and women who have wrought themselves into men's lives. Here are the names of those who have sung the world's songs, who have written the world's poems, who have painted the world's pictures. Here are the names of those who have touched the world's heart, and who have enlarged and deepened and enriched the world's life. Here the crowds come. They come singly and in clusters, they came once and they come again. The very marble of the pavement is worn with the constant coming of eager feet. They pass by kings and conquerors with indifference, but they stand with bowed heads before the memorials of the men and women who have enriched man-kind. Whether they were rich or not they never asked. Whether they were paid poorly or paid well they never considered. It was enough that they did something for mankind. Everything is made noble which noble lives have touched.
The province of religion is to give aim to the powers of our life. It would not detract from the value of any gift, but would rather enhance the value of all gifts by putting on them the divine stamp. It would not lessen any man's zeal for learning It would rather quicken his zeal by giving culture a nobler aim. No where in the world is culture so thorough or so highly prized as where the Christian faith has inspired
it. It is not the purpose of religion to conform all minds to one model, or all culture to one form. It would rather inspire every form of endowment, and every degree and kind of culture with a noble motive. You cannot possess or train a power which God cannot use. There is no employment, trade or profession in which God's service cannot be found. You may serve God in the class room, laboratory or work shop, and he will be equally pleased if your work be equally well done. There is no better service possible than honest work well done. You may go among men to heal their diseases, to unravel their perplexities, or to comfort their sorrows, and God shall own as done for himself what you have sincerely done for your fellows. You may sing the world a song; you may paint the world a picture; you may write the world a book, and God shall be honored as men are blessed. Let your aim be as high as it will, it will be all the higher for a divine consecration. Let your enthusiasm be as warm as it may, it will be all the warmer for a divine inspiration. Set your standard of scholarship as high as you desire, it will be all the higher for the thought that all lines of truth center in God. Your life can lose nothing of its zest by being lifted to a higher plane, and inspired by a higher motive.

Pharmacy School.
Professor Hodder spent the greater portion of his vacation at home. He has been engaged in the revision of his text book on State and Municipal Government.
During the summer Prof. Sayre visited a number of college and university schools of Pharmacy in the east. These were visited on his way to Montreal, Canada, where was held the annual meeting of the American Pharmaceutical association. Prof. Sayre says that the schools connected with universities are doing unquestionably better and more thorough work in chemistry, materia medica and the applied sciences than the colleges situated in the large cities. At the meeting of the pharmacists Prof. Sayre read a paper on Taraxcin. This is the bitter principle of dandelion root. The professor has made this common weed of the field his especial study during the past three or four years. Out of this study have developed some facts not heretofore known to plant chemists.
Mr. Wagner spent a large part of his summer in special research at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Since he brings with him to Lawrence a wife, it may be conceded that he allowed himself a few weeks to attend to the festivities of a wedding in which he was personally interested.
The school this year will undoubtedly have a large attendance. At least half a dozen students were on the ground a week in advance of the opening of the University.

Prof. Preyer has spent most of his summer in Lawrence conducting a summer school. Although this was an experiment, there was a good attendance and much work was accomplished. Miss Lichtenwalter was associated with Prof. Preyer in the school.
Miss Lichtenwalter has given a highly successful piano recital in Pawnee City the past week. It was very favorably spoken of by the Pawnee City papers.
Prof. Farrell will return from his summer's study in Florence, Italy, early next week. He has met with great success, and has had a splendid offer in Italy to sing in opera for the season. Cortezi the celebrated master has offered Mr. Farrell every inducement to remain. Wherever Mr. Farrell has sung he has received highly favorable notices. He has spent some time in London also, and will bring back to his students the best traditions of the old Italian school, with testimonials from at least two famous teachers, and several prominent singers.
Prof. Penny returned last week from his trip abroad. Most of his time was spent in Italy and Greece, although his journeys extended as far as Smyrna and Ephesus in Asia Minor, and Constantinople. He has seen all the remains of Grecian civilization in Italy and Sicily and visited the excavation now under way by the various governments in Greece and Asia Minor. He has studied the many museums and art galleries of Europe with but three exceptions, and visited places of historical interest in connection with the history of music and the Fine Arts, in Italy, Germany, France, England and the Netherlands.

Chester Dumm, who played on the team of 92, is back and will play foot-ball.
We are glad to announce that Griffith will be back, and will play his old position on the team.
Several practice games have been arranged. We play Ottawa Sept. 26, Midland Oct. 3 and Emporia Oct. 10.
John Outland the brilliant "half-back" of last year's team will play on the University of Pennsylvania team this season.
"Willie" Williamson will not be back to assist Coach Cowan as was expected. Satisfactory terms could not be agreed upon.
Coach Cowan has returned from a trip in the East. He visited Princeton and incidentally picked up a few pointers for our foot-ball team.
D. D. Gear, who made such a brilliant record in the Texas League this season has been signed by the Cleveland National League team.
Baine of Haskell Institute, Moss and Fitzpatrick of St. Mary's are promising candidates for the team. Baine is fast and is a good kicker, while Moss and Fitzpatrick are larger men and will try for positions in the line.
"Shorty" Hamill has been chosen captain of the foot-ball team. In making this appointment the foot-ball committee and Coach Cowan have selected a man who is well fitted for the position. Hamill has played on the team four years, and during that time has made an enviable reputation as one of the best guards in the West. While it must be conceded that the duties of the captain often interfere seriously with his individual work, yet we feel safe in predicting that with Griffith playing the other guard our team will have as strong a "centre" as any team we may meet.
The record of the Kansas University team for the season of '95 as given in Spalding's Foot-ball Guide is indeed a very creditable one. It is as follows:
Sept. 21. Kansas 28. Midland o.
Oct. 5. “ 56. Midland o.
Oct. 12. “ 10. Emporia o.
Nov. 2. “ 52. Iowa o.
Nov. 9. “ 32. Doane 6.
Nov. 16. “ 8. Nebraska 4.
Nov. 28. “ 6. Missouri 10.
We scored 192 points against a total of 20 points by our opponents.
Games have been arranged with the Denver Athletic Club team and with the University of Minnesota team.

The Class of "Naughty Naught." From the New York Journal.
Here's an interesting problem in phonetics, college slang and propriety all combined. What shall we call the incoming class of freshmen in the American colleges? They will be graduated in 1900, and according to custom they should be designated as the "class of'oo."
But " 'oo" is not likely to be adopted either in writing or in speech, for it lacks the requirements of a class numeral, whose sound, when sung or shouted, should have a sonorous, farreaching quality, which shall enable the classmen to make their presence or their achievements known in an emphatic manner, and there's nothing emphatic, phonetically or verbally, about " 'oo."
A happy thought came to a Johns Hopkins'98 man, who now suggests that the next freshman class shall be known as the "class of naughty-naught!" This is a typically collegiate way out of it, and never would have occurred but to an undergraduate. It ought to be a "go."
If any other college undergraduate has a better suggestion, let him send it in. The noble class of 1900 cannot be allowed to come into existence without a fitting appellation for strictly colloquial use.

BEGINNING WITH this issue the WEEKLY will be published and mailed to subscribers on Saturday instead of Friday. This will make possible a more complete report of the happenings of the week and will cause less interference with the school duties of the managing editors.
THE WEEKLY is not an exception to the rule that newspapers owe their existence to their advertisers. Students, remember this when you do your trading. You will lose nothing by patronizing our advertisers, but will encourage them to be more liberal with us, and will thereby enable us to give you a better paper.
THE EDITORIAL columns of the "WEEKLY" are always open to those who have anything of interest to say to the University public. And the only conditions are that the writer be fair and earnest in what he says and that his name be signed to his communication. The public expression of an honest opinion benefits him who speaks as well as him who hears.

OUR LOCAL editor did not interview Li Hung Chang during his recent visit to this country. His failure to do so however was not because of any reluctance to tell his age or income or anything else that the inquisitive old Chinaman might wish to know; but was due to other obvious difficulties. The Earl professed to admire many of our institutions. May he have a goodly number of years in which to work for their adoption in his own country.
FOOT-BALL practice reveals the fact that there is only a small number of the old players back this year. But there is no need for discouragement on this account. It does not mean that we are any less likely to make a glorious record in the games this fall. It means simply that we are somewhat handicapped, that new material is to be worked down, soft flesh to be changed into iron muscle, that minds are to be trained to act quickly and in unison. It means harder work for the coaches and harder work for the new men but in the end a crown of victory.
CHANCELLOR SNOW in his remarks Friday morning spoke of the gradual raising of the requirements for admission to the University. There is along with this a constant enlargement of the freedom of students in choosing their courses, which is no less a sign of development in an institution of learning. It is necessary that the standard for admission be high before many of the studies can safely be made elective, for a student must be somewhat matured before he is competent to select what he shall study. There is a temptation to take those studies which will be enjoyable whether or not they are likely to prove most beneficial, and in fact it is often difficult to decide what will yield the best returns. It is a pretty safe rule, however, and yet a rather indefinite one, to choose as broadly as possible; to be sure that there is no important line of work wholly ignored. If this is done there is little danger that later specialization will result in narrowness.
IN ANSWER to many inquiries we print the following extracts from the Constitution of the WEEKLY Publishing Company. The Constitution will be printed in pamphlet form and issued to stockholders in the near future, and will also appear in our next number.
Art. III. Sec. 2. The life of a share shall two years.
Sec. 5. The shares shall be issued by the secretary of the company.
Sec. 6. Each stock holder is entitled to receive the paper free of charge during the life of his share.
CHAPEL SERVICE is one of the advantages of the University; as much so as any course in the curriculum. The student owes it to himself to attend chapel as well as to attend classes. The chapel services can do as much to develop a well rounded character as any study in the University. And yet these meetings are wholly neglected by some, and attended in a sort of hap-hazard way by many others. The student should form a habit of going to chapel regularly; whether it be every day, or every other day, or once a week. But anyone who contents himself with attending once or twice a week should recognize that he is making less than the most of his opportunities.
DURING THE Summer political events of great moment have taken place in the United States. No one could fail to be interested in the remarkably sudden and radical changes in the aspect of political affairs. The young men in the University who expect to vote for the first time this Fall have been especially interested, and with the great majority of people everywhere have felt the necessity of forming intelligent opinions on the questions at issue between the different parties. Such persons should not allow their studies to absorb their attention wholly, but by careful reading and unprejudiced discussion should seek to form clear ideas upon the present political situation.

LITERARY.
A Registered Letter.
About three years ago an old gentleman in Ohio sent a registered letter to his son in Oklahoma. It contained about seventy-five dollars in money, which was intended as a present, to surprise the son. The money was sent in a registered letter because the Oklahoma postoffice near which the son lived was not authorized to pay money orders and there was no bank within fifty miles. The letter did not reach the addressee within a reasonable length of time, but as he was not expecting a remittance of this kind, the loss of the letter was not discovered until the father failed to receive his return receipt and acknowledgement from the son.
An inquiry was made and it was soon learned that the letter had never reached the office of destination although the sending postmaster had dispatched it and received his receipts. As usual in such cases the postoffice department at once, through its inspection division, began an investigation. A "tracer" was sent out and from this it was soon learned that the letter had safely gone to the railroad that runs through southern Kansas and Oklahoma. The railway postal clerk on this line who had handled the letter was unable to show a receipt for it. He had dispatched it to the post-office at G——, the railway station nearest where the son lived. Although he had endeavored to get duplicate receipt, thinking the original had been lost, he was unsuccessful. This placed the responsibility between him and the post-office at G——, and the postoffice department determined to locate it more exactly if possible.
An inspector was sent out from St. Louis to investigate matters. He went directly to G and made a thorough inquiry of the postmaster and his assistant. It was learned that the assistant had opened the mail that was supposed to contain the missing lettter; but that official was positive he had never seen it, although no witnesses were present when the mail was opened, as the regulations required. The inspector
was thoroughly satisfied as to his honesty and after instructing him to be more careful in complying with regulations, left the town hoping to learn something more about the mystery elsewhere.
He next turned his attention to the railway clerk who had receipted for the letter. He found that person at work in his car at the initial point of his run, and made a trip with him. To his questions concerning the letter the postal clerk gave straight forward and consistent answers. He had placed the letter in the pouch for G——and had, so far as he knew, complied with all regulations. As he was on duty alone he was unable to have witnesses to his work.
The postoffice inspector was convinced in his own mind that the postal clerk was innocent of any dishonesty in the matter, but according to the regulations he must be held responsible for the letter and for that reason he told the postal clerk that the latter must be suspended from duty pending a further investigation. This was a severe blow to the postal clerk. He felt that it would be a reflection upon his personal integrity and was fearful that the investigation would not help him out of the difficulty. He thought of offering to pay for the lost letter, but fearful that this might in some way injure his case, he gave up the idea.
The postoffice inspector returned to St. Louis and made out his report of the case with the recommendation that the postal clerk be suspended from duty until a further investigation could be made, although he was satisfied that nobody connected with the matter was dishonest.
The postal clerk, whose name was Watson, went to his home to await the investigation which he hoped would fully exonerate him. He spent some time trying to solve the mystery in his own mind but confessed his inability to reach any satisfactory conclusion. He was sure he had properly dispatched the register

and he was also sure that the assistant at G—— was honest.
The inspector determined to make another trip to G—— and learn the methods employed in that office of handling incoming mail, especially registered matter. On his arrival at the post-office he carefully watched the manner of receipting for and recording registered letters, but found nothing to which he could make any objection. Then he turned his attention to the manner of opening the newly arrived mail pouches. He noticed one morning that the assistant postmaster did not carefully look into each pouch after the mail had been thrown out to see if anything had been left inside. This was a violation of one of the most important of the postal regulations and at once gave the inspector a clue to work upon. He supposed the pouch containing the letter had been examined in this careless manner and that it had gone out of the office with the letter remaining in it. He believed the register had been received by some person, who, seeing an error had been made, took the opportunity to steal the letter and its contents. But where could he find the thief? Any one of about sixteen "star route" postoffices could have received it as well as any one of a dozen or more railway postal clerks. To make a personal visit to each of the possible guilty persons could not be done and to send out decoy letters would be unsatisfactory. It seemed that he must give up the case, with the responsibility for the loss still resting upon Mr. Watson; for, although the carelessness of the assistant at G—— must have caused it, there was no proof to that effect. He pointed out to the assistant how he might be at fault and after instructing him further at so his duties went to St. Louis where he made a full report of the case. It was then dismissed and Mr. Watson was permitted to resume his duties after paying the amount claimed by the addressee of the letter.
This was a very unsatisfactory termination of the case, both to the inspector and to Mr. Watson who had by this time become intimate friends. Each promised the other he would be
on the alert for anything that might furnish a solution of the mystery. They both felt sure that it could not remain unsolved.
In the southwest part of the county in which the postoffice of G is located is the country postoffice of L. The postmaster at this place, Mr. Scott, was a man who had gone to Oklahoma when the country was opened for settlement. He had not left a very good reputation for honesty in the little Missouri town that he came from, but no one in this new country knew his past history. When a postoffice was established on his claim he had no difficulty in being appointed postmaster.
One morning when Mr. Scott opened his mail from G he noticed a registered letter that was not meant for his office, unaccompanied by a receipt card. He quickly saw that it had been left in the pouch by mistake and that here was a chance to steal a registered letter without being detected. He had been strictly honest since he took charge of the office, but now temptation was too strong for him. He debated the matter for some time but finally yielded. He tore off the package envelope containing the letter and threw it into the stove intending thus to destroy all evidences of his guilt. The money was taken out and the letter itself destroyed. Mr. Scott thought this would be the last of the matter and that he would never be called to account for it.
The inspector who investigated the missing register never fully gave up the case. He requested his chief to send him whenever anyone was needed to go in the vicinity of G—— on any official errand. After this he was often in that part of the country and in course of time had visited nearly all the "star route" offices that receive mail from G——.
One day about a year after his attention was first called to the missing register he stopped at L—— while on his way to another country postoffice. He had no special object in visiting the place, but ran in to get acquainted with the postmaster as was his custom wherever possible. His great knowledge of human nature enabled him to decide in a very few
Kansas University Weekly.
31
minutes that the postmaster was not honest and he determined to remain a day or two with him. On various pretexts he asked to examine all the opened registered package envelopes on file, the waste paper and the records of the office. Everything showed careful observance of regulations and to all appearances, the strictest honesty. But he was not satisfied. He had a feeling that here was his guilty man and he determined to prove that his opinion was correct. He noticed just outside the back door of the office a large ash pile at the bottom of which was some twine and waste paper. He planned a secret investigation and for this purpose pretended to the postmaster that he must return to his home that evening. Then he went to a farm house where he staid until night.
That night he went to the rear of the office and carefully looked through the ashes hoping to find something that would clear up the mystery. After a long search and much turning over of ashes he saw a bit of the familiar red and white striped paper that is used in mailing registered letters. He eagerly pulled it out and saw that although it had been almost entirely burned away there was on one corner a number that corresponded with that of the missing letter; but nothing further could be found to identify it. He placed it in his pocket and returned to the farm.
Mr. Scott had not enjoyed the inspector's visit. He felt that it would terminate in something to his detriment and was glad when the inspector left him. But his uneasiness was greatly increased when the inspector called again the next morning. He very coldly returned the inspector's greeting and it was with difficulty that he could be drawn into conversation. The inspecror asked if he had ever received a registered letter not meant for his office. The postmaster, somewhat startled at the question, replied that he had not. Then the inspector asked if he saved all registered package envelopes that came to the office. Mr. Scott assured him that he did. At this point the inspector brought out from his pocket the piece of envelope he had found in the ash pile, showed it to the postmaster and asked for an explanation. Mr. Scott realized that he was caught but tried to explain by saying it was an envelope he had spoiled in addressing. This the inspector showed was impossible as the number was higher than had ever been sent from L. Then the postmaster broke down, confessed his guilt and gave himself up to the inspector who placed him under arrest.
The prisoner was turned over to the proper authorities and the office was placed in charge of one of the bondsmen. Mr. Scott was given a light jail sentence, after which he returned to his claim, a free man but disqualified for holding any federal position.
The solution of the mystery made three very happy men. The inspector, who, aside from having a professional pride in the case, felt personally interested in proving Watson's innocence. The assistant postmaster at Gwas pleased that it terminated in the way it did although it proved that his carelessness had caused the trouble. But the happiest of all was Watson who was now relieved of all responsibility in the matter. As a partial atonement for the inconvenience that he had been made to bear, the postoffice department promoted him to a much better position and returned to him the amount of money that the registered letter contained, having collected it from the bondsmen of Scott. Mr. Watson says he doubts whether there is now a happier or more contented man than he in the employ of the postoffice department.

If the above puerile effort is a true indicator of the maturity of the Star paragraphers, it is indeed quite fortunate that their publication is made up early, so that the dear fellows may get home before twilight settles down upon the wicked town.
Last Saturday's Atchison Globe contained the following concerning Topeka society and, in fact, society in general:
"If Topeka is like Atchison and other surrounding towns, while society was petting Charley Huff, an ex-penitentiary convict, other young men in town who are faithful and steady workmen with no time for frivolity, were being snubbed by the girls, and generally ostracised. Charley Huff had nothing but a pair of patent leather shoes, fine clothes, and a glib tongue to recommend him, still he entered the best society in Topeka and monopolized the attention of one of the prettiest girls. Other young men who have lived in Topeka all their lives, and whose devotion to work and a desire to amount to something are evident, are not in great demand, and if they broke into society, would be treated coldly. Girls, in their friendships with men, are terribly blind to their future interests.'
Perhaps the above is overdrawn but every young man who works, has doubtless been made to feel its truth more than once.

Notwithstanding the inclement weather over three hundred persons were present at the reception in Library Hall last night, tendered by the two Christian Associations of the University to students and members of the Faculty. The Saunders mandolin club provided appropriate music throughout the evening. The decorations and all the appointments of the evening were in excellent taste, and the purpose of the occasion which was primarily to cultivate mutual acquaintance, was admirably subserved. What a few years ago was a mere experiment has grown to be an important and permanent feature of University social life.

Notes.
Science bemoans the loss of one of her noblest sons in the death, September 6, of Prof. G. Brown Goode, Assistant Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, and Director of the U. S. National Museum. Prof. Goode has been connected with the Smithsonian Institution since 1873, and has gained an enviable fame, both as an ichthyologist and as the Director of the National Museum. On fishes as well as on the best methods of museum administration he was eminently an authority.
September 7 was to be observed in Washington as the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Smithsonian Institution. But the death of Dr. Goode and the absence of Prof. S. P. Langley, the secretary, frustrated all the plans. For the same reasons the regents of the Institution failed, for the first time in 50 years, to have their regular annual meeting.
Harvard also is in mourning over the death of Prof. Francis J. Child, age 71, the oldest professor on her faculty and commonly known as Harvard's most learned man. His wisdom was only equaled by his modesty. Those who ever had the pleasure of listening to his lectures, will always keep him in loving remembrance. Prof. Child was the donor of a number of valuable works now on the shelves of our library

Athletic Notes.
A great deal of feeling was aroused among eastern colleges during the season of '95, by the adoption of different codes of rules by different schools. After the close of the season the more prominent colleges chose representatives, who should arrange a code of rules to govern the play of this season. The committee chosen for this purpose, and composed of the most prominent foot-ball enthusiasts of the country, arranged a code, and submitted a report which was immediately adopted. The principal changes are in the rules governing fair-catch and scrimmage. The former has been changed to its old ruling, which requires the heeling of a catch, while the player is protected from interference or being thrown by the very severe penalty of fifteen yards. In the scrimmage the feeling against mass plays has resulted in the ruling that no player shall take more than a single step before the ball is placed in play, except one man, who may be in motion toward his own goal. This rule will bar almost every form of momentum play, which has proved so dangerous to players. The other ruling, forbidding five men to bunch between the "tackles," will aid in eliminating mass plays. A change has been made in regard to the fair-catch, requiring the opponents to stand (?) ten yards from the catcher, thus giving more credit for a fair-catch. The rule regarding interference with the man snapping the ball has been made more stringent. These
new rulings all tend toward a more open style of play and it is to be hoped that our team will adopt the more open game.

Every player should take advantage of the training table.
Speaks ought to be a strong man on the track team next spring.
The outlook for a winning team was never better than it is this year.
A strong second eleven is necessary to develop a strong first eleven.
The "old men" should come out or they may find their positions filled.
All students should encourage the players by turning out and watching the practice.
About twenty-four men were on the field for preliminary practice the first of the week.
The training table at North College was spread Wednesday, and will continue throughout the foot-ball season.
The new men who are showing up well are Sanderson, Fitzpatrick, Moss, Baine, Whitney, Julian, O'Niel, Howard, Steele, Speaks, Philips, Cates, Jewett, Bates, Peterson, Hayes, Layton, Lacock, Sherman, Jones, Pittman, Davis, Voigts, Stanfield, Irwin, Kromers, Peters and Hess.

---
As Osteopathy is attracting the thought of many of the best minds of the age by its wonderful success, and as many are desirous of more information on the subject.
WE GIVE THE FOLLOWING FEW HINTS :
Unlike the doctor who has some remedy that will stir one's very bones and nerve the patients to do things they have not done for years, only to leave them to drop into a worse state after the man has disappeared, the Osteopath remains at his post for months and years working upon the human frame in a way that brings about results that astonish all but those who are well acquainted with the science.
We believe and know by actual experience that parts of the body, such as bones, muscles, nerves and blood vessels become displaced or disarranged to such an extent that the result will be headache, granulated eyelids, blindness, paralysis of arm, finger or entire body, deafness, catarrh, asthma, consumption that even change of climate will not restore, heart trouble, constipation, indigestion, as well as fevers, nervousness and most any ailment that may befall man even to some cases of insanity.
An Ostespath is able to adjust the parts affected so that the trouble disappears, and does not need the aid of medicines, magnetism, Christian science, electricity, massage or faith, which modes are all ably represented in your city, unless it be the latter, which is in Chicago.
We are OSTEOPATHS and invite you to call upon us as such. Consultation free.

AT LAST the WEEKLY has an office! not very large, not very sumptuously furnished; but yet an office, a place to go to and feel at home, and more than that a place to which others are invited to come and feel at home—if they can, on hard bottomed chairs and a bare floor.
But chiefly this room is to be a rendezvous for those who discover any items of news suitable for our local pages. We shall also be glad to meet here all downtrodden ones who have grievances to be righted, and any "cranks" who have hobbies which they wish displayed before the public, though we can not promise to become always the espousers of such causes. The room is located in the basement of the main building at the foot of the south stairway.
To our contemporaries in the field of college journalism we extend a cordial invitation to "exchange" with us. And in particular we wish to warn our Eastern friends, who have so far made no response to our advances in this direction, that they should not be too ready to entertain the opinion somewhat prevalent in their part of the country that no good thing can come out of Kansas. The report is utterly without foundation in fact as the WEEKLY itself intends to demonstrate.
WE APPRECIATE keenly the difficulty of a newly registered student of the class of 'oo who asked, the other day, how it came about that the McKinley club and Bryan club each had three hundred members, according to its own report, while the total number of young men enrolled in the University lacked considerable of being six hundred. The one to whom the question was put did not answer it. Doubtless he thought—and quite properly—that these things would make themselves plain to the young man soon enough; yes, all too soon.

Now that we are assured that Prof. Dyche has not gone in search of the North pole, and are therefore not bound, by feelings of loyalty to him and the University and the state, to cry out in support of the undertaking, let us consider calmly whether the risk of life taken by those who have gone in search of the pole was justified by the end in view. The case is entirely different from that in which exploration is made of countries situated in habitable regions. In polar exploration no commercial advantage is sought, no spread of civilization is expected; the settlement of a few open questions is the only reward in view. There is one phrase, held by many to be the inspired shibboleth of all science, which is constantly being brought forward in defense of any scheme no matter how hazardous or impractical, that is: "the advancement of knowledge." Now an advancement of knowledge which is not also an advancement in culture, which does not open to mankind a broader and higher life, is no advancement at all; erudition which is never to be translated into wisdom and life is worthless. The exploration of the arctic regions will yield nothing to the world but a mere "advance in knowledge," and as long as it is fraught with such dangers as at present it might better be abandoned. Inventive 'genius will soon render easy and safe what is now so hazardous. The flying machine or some other machine will before many years make travel in the polar regions relatively easy. Until then why not confine our attention to something nearer home.
WE HAVE no hopes for the fellow who, when asked by a new student if "that tall red building with a window in the top" (the stand tower) was the observatory, replied with a pitying smile that that was only one end of the telescope.
"LIVES THERE the student with soul so dead" who is not gladdened by the sight of "old glory" floating over the main building? Why not have the flag up every pleasant day instead of once in a very long while?
AMONG OTHER signs of advancement in our University is the gradual disuse of text-books, and the substitution of reading and investigation in the Library. In those courses where text-books are not absolutely necessary reference to the Library is becoming more and more general. There is however a danger in this method of reading too many authorities. It grows out of the fact that no student is able, in the time given him, to form intelligent opinions on the relative worth of several different authors and their different theories. So that while avoiding the evil of being narrowed down to one text, he encounters the other evil of being tossed about by the waves of conflicting opinion and is lost in a fog of uncertainty. Reading should never be so wide as to necessitate its being desultory or superficial. It is better to know one book well than to know a dozen poorly.
THE UNIVERSITY of Iowa seems to have a bright outlook in football matters this fall. A large majority of their old team is back again, and they have in Bull, who played "center" for Pennsylvania last year, a man well qualified to coach the team.
THAT THE last number of the WEEKLY did not appear on time was due to the failure, excusable or inexcusable, of the postoffice authorities to distribute the paper in time for Saturday afternoon delivery. We hope that our subscribers will not again be disappointed in this way.
FOR THOSE who attend all the games on the home field season tickets are undoubtedly economical. And besides, a ticket carries with it the divine right of franchise, the exercise of which on every occasion is the chief end of life, according to our friends the politicians.
THE STUDENT who regards politics as an end in itself and the one who regards it as a means to an honorable end are two radically different men. We have both classes in the University.

Ad Urbem Montis Oreadis.
Here they were within sight of the city . Now you must note that the city stood upon a mighty hill; but the pilgrims went up that hill with ease. —Pilgrim's Progress.
The children of the city wandered far,
And scanned old faces and beheld old scenes,
Searched long, athirst. Republic's sandy bed,
Saw sunset gold 'thwart' Sedgwick's reed-green lakes.
And scaled bold bluffs above Spring River's rush
To reap with eye the yellow miles beyond,
Yet ever backward turned unrestful eyes
From gazing on mirage, and field, and wood,
Into the North; and lo! the city shone
With wondrous brightness; and they turned and
came.
Was it not written in the olden time,
Was it not written in the olden time,
A city on a hill can not be hid?

An Incident of the Hay Field.
It was Saturday and Jameson, the boss of the hay-making gang was desirous of getting all the alfalfa in stack by evening so that there would be none left to lie in the field during Sunday and run the risk of being injured by rain. For that reason Jameson was more particular than usual in keeping his men busy at work.
Most of the "hands" were good workers and did not cause the boss much trouble, but John Day tried Jameson's patience to the utmost. John was a fat, clumsy, overgrown boy and thus far had proved to be no exception to the rule that "large bodies move slowly." He disliked work in general and hay making beneath the hot sweltering sun in particular, and permitted this repugnance to manifest itself in many ways, even though he had one of the easiest positions on the field; for Jameson, bearing in mind that a go-devil with which the hay was conveyed to the stacker, ran easier over the rough field if occupied by a heavy person, had given one of these machines in his charge. Jameson himself drove the other go-devil and invariably took two loads, and sometimes three to the stacker while Day was taking but one.
Several times during the forenoon Jameson's wrath broke out and he gave Day a number of severe scoldings. This however had little effect
on him. At noon, when Jameson saw that it would require rapid work to complete the stacking that evening he informed Day in very plain terms that if he did not do better he should quit the work and the gang. Day was temporarily aroused to greater activity but he soon relapsed into his former indolence.
A neighbor's son rode up to engage Jameson for some future haying. Ascertaining that the young man was in no hurry to return he secured him to help in the field the remainder of the afternoon and discharged the unfortunate Day.
Day did not take his dismissal much to heart but lay down in the shade of the stack to wait to ride home with the men in the evening.
The work progressed more rapidly and in time the last go-devil load of hay was run on the stacker and dumped in place. Everybody began unhitching their teams from the haying machinery.
A scream of pain and fright startled them; the horses hitched to the stacker were plunging forward dragging at their heels entangled in the double-trees Jameson's own son, who had started to unhook the traces.
Then a remarkable thing occured. John Day, the slowest and most awkward-appearing man of the the gang, shot out from the shadow of the stack and seized the horses before the other members of the gang had realized what was happening. Had the horses gone ten feet farther the stacker rope would have been drawn taut and the boy's limbs would have been crushed if indeed, he had escaped being killed outright.
Day did not appear to think he had done anything extraordinary and was surprised and embarrassed by the expressions of praise and admiration for his action; Jameson alone said nothing until all had started homeward.
As Day was riding away in one of the wagons Jameson shouted, "I'll expect you back with the gang Monday. H.W.M.

The Chapel Service.
Never perhaps in the history of the University has the chapel service been better attended at the opening of a term than at present; and in consequence there is to be found in it interest and inspiration that come from the respectful presence of so many together, entirely apart from the devotional character of the service itself, or the personality of the leaders. So pleasant is this assembling together of the University body, though for a few minutes only, and so profitable in every way, not only in leading all to think for a time along lines of common interest, but in affording all an opportunity, practically the only one that exists in our University life, to see and to feel what our University really is in numbers and potentiality, and what it really means,--that it seems worthy of a special effort on the part of all to preserve the full and representative character of these gatherings. It is said that opportunities for the development of class spirit are none too numerous among us; but certainly it is true that there are such opportunities; while if we except the chapel gathering, there are practically no other opportunities whatever to develop at its best that broader University spirit, that devotion to the University based upon a right conception of what it is, which means so much to the institution dependent entirely upon intelligent approval for its very existence.
Such considerations as these are certainly not too abstract to weigh with a body of men whose fitness for the work of learning or teaching has brought them here together. But however abstract they may be, the question resulting is a perfectly definite one, though perhaps not easy to answer: How may the chapel meetings be made to retain permanently that representative character which they now possess?
The answer usually given is: Make the chapel service interesting, or entertaining. Let us have fine music, bright speeches on up-to-date topics, as much variety as possible in the order,-and we will all be there.
Yes, but how often? Experience shows that an interesting service, while it does increase the
attendance, does so only in slight degree; those who at first yield to the attraction if it may be so called, for the most part soon tire because the attraction is not greater.
Another answer is: Men, students especially, will go where they get something for their trouble. Make the chapel service valuable, provide speakers who will tell us something that we need to know and do not know already—and we will all be there.
Unfortunately this proposition though plausible is simply not true. It is very doubtful if there is a man or a group of men now living, who if he or they could be secured as leaders in chapel for the rest of the year, would insure a full attendance all that time, simply because of the importance of what was to be said. Such men would undoubtedly increase the attendance; but there are some who would tire after a while, and there there are others who would be careless from the beginning. The distinguished man and his valuable address would soon become an old story, and the chapel attendance would again decrease.
Another answer used to be: Make chapel attendance compulsory. This has also been given up, because while it secures the attendance, it simply incites the spirit of revolt and sacrifices the real object of such attendance, which is dependent upon voluntary assembling.
The fact seems to remain that no device applied from without is likely to secure the desired end, any more than a man's character may be changed by the use of sugar, beefsteak, or a club. The man himself must see the advantage and take voluntary steps to obtain it. Carrying out the analogy, the man is the University body, and the great advantage to be secured is the meeting together of the entire University once each day, that we may know one another, our fellow students and instructors, may feel how great is that whole of which we are a part, and what our individual membership in that whole means, and for a few minutes may think together on subjects of common interest and importance. Unless we are all there, we lose much of this advantage; and

the only way in which we may all be there is for each individual to be there as a unit, with reference not more to what he is to get by his attendance than to what he is to contribute by it.
A general resolution of this sort, partly selfish and partly unselfish, will instantly bring about a revolution in what has hitherto been the condition of affairs, and simple attendance at chapel service if it be full and representative, will insure a pleasure and profit such as it has rarely possessed, and will so inspire those who have charge as well as those who attend as to bring about the desired interestingness and value as a result, instead of requiring it as a cause.
Further, it will cause all the questions that at present so vex those who have charge of chapel arrangements to become insignificant and disappear. It will not matter that the individual must sometimes be absent, if only his general rule is to be there. It will not matter if certain students and instructors have no classes until ten o'clock or later, and must therefore be much inconvenienced by attending chapel; if that is the case this term, it may not be the case next term. It will not matter whether one prefers to sit next the platform or back under the gallery, for the room will be filled in any case, and it will no longer be necessary to reiterate requests or stretch ropes to keep the audience within reach of the speaker's voice. It will not matter if those who are in other buildings at the chapel hour sometimes find it impossible to get across to the main building in time; at other times it will be easy for them to do so.
The question then resolves itself in its simplest aspect into this: Why should not every student and every instructor who is in the main building at 8:50 A.M., and the greater number of those who have their first recitation at 9:10, with a large proportion of those who are in adjoining buildings at those hours, be present at chapel service? Is there any answer which any one would not be ashamed to make?
If there is not, then why not attend chapel, to meet one another, to become acquainted with those instructors whose work lies apart from ours, to show respect to the University by attending the one class that is established for the entire University, to develop in ourselves the truest and best University spirit.
Don't say you are not a church member or you are not religious; the chapel service is as broad in its scope as the University itself, and you did not hesitate to enter the University. Don't say the service is not attractive, or that you do not get anything from it; the responsibility for that belongs to you as much as to anyone. Don't say that the service is too long; there is trouble of that sort now and then, but it will be remedied. Don't say that your class was not dismissed on time; it will not often occur. Don't say that you object to being asked to take a front seat; if we are all there most of us will have to take back seats whether or no. Don't be afraid to come in because you may be a a little late, especially if the responsive exercises are not ended. Don't sit in the class room to look over the lesson of the next hour; you already have it or it is probably too late. And above all, in the name of common sense, common respect for devotional exercises, and common good taste, do not gather in the halls in groups large or small, or sit on the stairs, or perch in the windows, and discuss matters political or social or personal till doors must be closed to shut out the sound of your voices. It is not too much to say that this one test of showing respect to the chapel service, whether within the doors or without, will serve to distinguish infallibly the true gentleman or lady from the imitation article.
How many students and instructors in the University of Kansas will for a year, a term, or even a month, endeavor to aid in carrying out these suggestions that the effect may be noted, and the results estimated?

Science Notes.
During the past summer Prof. Haworth made a large series of photographs of Kansas geological formations, and irrigational subjects They will be used for illustrating the next report of the University Geological Survey.
Examinations of the area beneath Elm trees reveal a number of small branches lying on the ground. This is the work of the Elm-twig girdler (Oncideres singulata), a beetle belonging to the Cerambycidae family. This beetle deposits a number of eggs upon a branch, and then girdles the branch in such a manner as to cause it to fall to the ground. The eggs are deposited in minute incisions in the wood immediately below a small twig and also, although not so frequently, just above the base of a branch. It is probable that the limb is girdled in order that by falling to the ground it may become moist and decay readily, thus making the wood soft and more easily worked. This species attacks several other forest trees as well as the Elm. Mr. Percy Parrott is making a special study of this Twiggirdler in the Entomological Department.
An interesting sight was a mass of butterflies on the large cottonwood tree between Snow Hall and the Main Building last Saturday. There were several thousand of the insects gathered on the upper branches; and when disturbed by a boy who ascended the tree, they scattered in the air like autumn leaves. A large number were collected for class use in the entomological laboratory. This species, commonly called Milk-weed Butterfly (Anosia plexippus, Linn.) is the most common of our butterflies, and the habit of migrating in immense swarms is not unusual. Several years ago the writer observed a large drove flying over Garden City, Kansas. The drove was being carried in a southeasterly direction by a strong wind. It was from ten to twenty feet in diameter and not less than a quarter of a mile in length. There must have been several millions of insects in the swarm. Similar occurrences have been reported from various parts of Kansas, Nebraska, and Texas.
Prof. Haworth has moved a part of his department into the basement room on the west side of the Main Building. He will have his private office and a drafting room there and the old department in Snow Hall will be used wholly as a laboratory.
An instrument for cutting mats for lantern slides has been invented by Mr. E. S. Tucker. The mats may be cut any desired shape and size by this means; and the invention is a valuable one in that slides may be made much more quickly and neatly than by any of the old methods. The idea is original with Mr. Tucker and was put in form by Mr. M. B. Watson.
A nest of a Hawk showing a departure from the usual Hawk architecture was found by an egg collector several years ago. Nearly all species of the falconidal when building a nest first construct a platform of large sticks and weeds as a foundation for the lighter material of the nest proper. This is the rule whether the nest is placed in a tree or upon a cliff. The nest mentioned, one of a Swainson's Hawk. (Buteo Swainson's) was not built in this manner and is the only exception observed in a considerable number examined. It was placed upon a knoll some what higher than the surrounding bluffs. Rocks from six to eight inches in diameter were arranged in a circle. The enclosed space was filled with rocks gradually decreasing in size to the center of the structure, forming a basin-shaped platform. The basin was lined with small weeds and grasses, altogether composing a very unique piece of bird workmanship.

Athletic Notes.
Hester is kicking better than ever.
Baine is a good man behind the line.
Sanderson and Whitney show up well on the ends.
Our three "centre" men will weigh over six hundred pounds.
Never before has there been so much rivalry for positions on the team.
McCook Field needs more working before it will be in proper condition.
Twelve men are taking their meals at the training table in North College.
A new broiler has been added to the culinary department of the training table.
Walker has re-entered the University and will try for his old position at "centre."
There is another rumor afloat that "Willie" Williamson may be back to coach the team.
The general impression among the old players seems to be that the prospect for a brilliant team never has been so favorable.
Will Matteson, who played tackle on the '92 and '93 Varsity teams, will coach a team at Abilene, Kan.
It has been reported that Captain Murphy of Yale has been sent west to secure a Kansas University foot-ball player for his team.
The following is the line up for today's game: Sanderson left end, Hamil left tackle, Fitzpatrick left guard, Walker center, Mosse right guard, Howard right tackle, Simson right end, Kennedy quarter, Baine right half. Voights left half, Hester full back. Sudstitutes: Speaks, Hess, Julian, Dum, Whitney.
The following is the latest schedule of the Missouri University team for the coming season: October 12, Tarkio at Columbia; October 17, University of Illinois at St. Louis; October 24, University of Nebraska at Columbia; October 31, Vanderbilt University at St. Louis; November 9, University of Iowa at Columbia; November 14, Depauw University at St. Louis; November 26, Kansas University at Kansas City.
One of the best known authorities on football says: "None of the 'varsity teams will be first-class this year. Yale is weak; so is Harvard, while Princeton and Cornell have nothing to boast of in their foot-ball players. Pennsylvania has a number of fairly good men, and the Quakers may make some of them play; but it is not a foot-ball year. The Yale-Harvard fight—a miserable quarrel—injured the great autumn game.
The game with Ottawa, which was to have been played here today has been postponed. Instead, a game will be played with the Kansas City Medical team. The "Medics" are very strong, Pendleton and Potter, old Baker University players, and Piatt, Pope and Gump, old Kansas University men, being on the team. They are under the management of James Manning of the Kansas City base-ball team. The admission to the game will be only twenty-five cents. All should come out and encourage the team.
It should be said that the account of the achievements of our graduates given in the midsummer issue of the WEEKLY made no pretension to completeness. Miss Josie Wilson, '93, was inadvertntly omitted from the "Harvard Colony" of Kansas University graduates. Miss Wilson distinguished herself in Botany, graduating from the annex in '94. She has since been teaching in the high schools of Clyde and Cawker City. Among the names omitted was also that of Dr. L. M. Powell, '85,now one of the most successful physicians in Topeka. He took his course in medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, and was the first graduate of Kansas University to attend that institution.

The Greek Department has just received a new lot of casts, which are being arranged in the Classical Museum. The most important piece is a Hermes of Praxiteles, as restored by Schaper. This is the only statue that has come down to us that we know positively was made by one of the greatest Greek sculptors. It represents Hermes in the full vigor of young manhood holding up with his right hand a bunch of grapes which the baby Bacchus sitting on his left arm is longingly reaching after. Besides this, there is a head of the Apollo of the Zeus temple at Olympia; the Lenormant statuette of Athene, a copy of the great statue by Phidias in the Parthenon; a model of the Victory of Paionios, the finest example known of a figure flying through the air down to the earth; the ancient inscription belonging to this Victory; a relief representing a part of the chariot race in which an armed man jumped from the chariot and back into it while it was running on; and another relief with the best representation we yet have of a Greek galley with three banks of oars.

SURGERY IN OSTEOPATHY.
---
Some people say it is easy to accept osteopathy for "bone diseases" but are very much perplexed as to how we can perform surgery.
It would certainly be very appalling if there were not some remedy for the present inclination in this line, which seems to be to see how much of the body can be cut off and how often a piece may be taken without causing death to the whole. The business of the osteopath is to restore and not to tear down, believing if it were better for one to be of part wood or cork it would have been an easy matter to have been so created in the first place. Also that if any portion of the being is removed some other part will suffer for want of it. Accordingly we remove the causes of goiter, cancer, tumors. ulcers, etc., knowing that if the cause is gone the disease will disappear not to return, but if the result is simply removed or clipped off the trouble too often returns only to be operated upon time after time until the patient is too weak to undergo more.
If a man's watch falls and the wheels become bent does he have the jeweler trim off the bent portion or straighten it, or if some portion becomes clogged does he pour acid and oil into the bowels of the same or adjust the part at fault?
This science has provided a way to adjust swollen and partially stiffened joints, straighten crooked limbs, curved spines, without the aid of appliances. If you think we understand our business call and see us. Consultation free.
