If we win today we may consider ourselves still in the race for the pennant, if we lose, our only hope will be to escape the honor of occupying the less conspicuous end of the procession. Whichever happens we have nothing to be ashamed of so long as our team plays a good, hard, honest game. We're not a bit afraid but that on Thanksgiving day the "Varsity"
will have no trouble in playing a little better and harder game than the tigerettes from Tigerville.
Someone has been calling upon the authorities of Michigan university to open the library on Sundays. The idea is not a good one. In cities where there are great numbers of working people who have no opportunity to look at a book or paper except Sunday there may be sufficient reason for opening the libraries on that day. But the university student spending, as he does, the most of his time in reading and study should be induced to take a good rest during the Sabbath. The best kind of rest for him is going to walk, attending church, and spending an hour or so in a confidential talk with himself.
All that it requires to make a Missouri university man straighten up, and grit his teeth, and look fierce is to say "Thanksgiving" to him. One of their professors recently proclaimed in a foot-ball enthusiasm mass-meeting that he "would sell the shirt from off his back in order to have Missouri beat Kansas;" which noble (?) sentiment was greeted with "great applause."
But unfortunately for Missouri the question can not be settled by the sacrifice of the professor's shirt. It would be perfectly proper however for him to sell it anyhow if he feels like it, and devote the proceeds (?] to the hiring of another coach. Happily Kansas is not reduced to such straits; but what we do need is more enthusiasm for the team; more men out for practice; and a little more determination on the part of some of the players.

PROFESSORS, when practicable make your announcements through the columns of the WEEKLY.
We have lately noticed in our exchanges some excellent songs for use at football games. Many of them are parodies of well known pieces and could be committed to memory in a short time. "Rally Round the Tiger—Boys" is a new one lately written for Missouri. We must have something of this kind at once. Send in your productions and we will print them so that we may all learn the best ones before Thanksgiving.
At last commencement one of the prominent speakers said to the members of the senior class that if they had not learned to think, their school work had been practically fruitless. It seemed as though the time for impressing this truth upon the students had been poorly chosen. Probably there were none in that class who had not learned to think better than when they entered school, but yet there was a touch of sadness in the thought that there might be some who were leaving the University for the last time, who had never realized what was the great end of their work. And in the hours of sorrowful retrospection how such an one would wish that he had been made to know the true goal to be striven for when he first began his first year of study in the University. There is no greater need of the University than that every student should have a deep consciousness of the simple fact that if when he receives his diploma he has not learned to think for himself, and think hard, his own more or less earnest work, and the sacrifices of those who have given him the opportunity to work have been in vain. A clear understanding of this on the part of every student would raise the standard of school work a hundred per cent. It would create a half dozen good literary societies. It would take care of inter-state debates and oratorical contests, and keep the cup of enthusiasm for these matters running over. In fact it would do more than anything else to build up the ideal University.
PRESIDENT Canfield made a few remarks the other day to the editor of the Ohio university paper, and we reprint them as being universal in their application: When the president was told that clubs of from two to forty-two were all reading the same paper, he asked, whether each of these clubs was using one napkin. The president also suggested that the students send the college paper regularly to their parents. That would be cheaper, more regular and take less time than writing long letters. He suspected that it would be more interesting and gratifying to the parents.
Now if the students of Kansas University want to adopt this plan of sending a paper home instead of a letter we are willing. They will see to it then that the Weekly gets all the news. And if nothing but a letter will do, then write it to the Weekly and it will be published, and an extra copy sent to the writer's home.
The article in regard to spitting on the floor which was printed in the Weekly for Oct. 10, has been instrumental in calling forth several equally severe condemnations of this sin from other college papers. The Students' Herald of Manhattan reprinted the article entire, with strong endorsement. It does not seem possible that anyone whose attention has been called to the vileness and noxiousness of the habit of spitting on the floor will go on allowing himself to be a public nuisance. And yet there are a few "spitters" left in the University. Most of them are merely thoughtless, and need only to be aroused to a consciousness of the real evil of the habit. A few, however, belong to the class of "well dressed savages," as Howell calls them, who never lose an opportunity to show their indifference for the common laws of politeness and decency. They are characterized by an impressive swagger and a weary-of-life facial expression, and but for these acquirements would never be noticed. It seems hopeless to attempt to treat these would-be cases of total depravity; but their fewness makes them conspicuous, and a plain, unvarnished rebuke might have a wholesome effect upon them.

From "The Builders."
[An Ode for the 150th anniversary of Princeton College, by Rev. Henry van Dyke.]
O Thou whose boundless love bestows
The joy of life, the hope of Heaven;
Thou whose unchartered mercy flows
O'er all the blessings Thou hast given;
Thou by whose light alone we see;
Thou by whose truth our souls set free
Are made imperishably strong:
Hear thou the solemn music of our song.
Grant us the knowledge that we need
To solve the questions of the mind;
Light thou our candle while we read,
And keep our hearts from going blind;
Enlarge our vision to behold
The wonders Thou hast wrought of old;
Reveal thyself in every law,
And gild the towers of truth with holy awe.
Be thou our strength when war's wild gust
Rages around us, loud and fierce;
Confirm our souls and let our trust
Be like a wall that none can pierce;
Give us the courage that prevails,
The steady faith that never fails.
And help us stand in every fight
Firm as a fortress to defend the right.
O God, make of us what Thou wilt;
Guide Thou the labor of our hand;
Let all our work be surely built
As Thou, the architect, hast planned;
But whatsoe'er Thy power shall make
Of these frail lives, do not forsake
Thy dwelling. Let thy presence rest
Forever in the temple of our breast.
The Princeton Sesquicentennial.
On the twenty-second day of October in the year 1746 a charter was granted to the College of New Jersey. After the war of the Revolution, this charter was renewed by the Legislature of New Jersey. Though the college was styled a state college, and the governor of the state was ex-officio its head, all the power to legislate and hold property for the college was placed in the hands of a self-perpetuating board of trustees upon whom devolved the chief if not the entire responsibility for seeing that the institution was provided with funds. From its foundation the institution depended upon endowment and not upon state aid. It was founded as "a seminary of true religion and good literature," to train men for the ministry and for citizenship, but there was not in its charter a word about creed or denomination; nor is there today, though the institution still stands as a "seminary" of unsectarian religious thought.
The college was formally opened in May, 1747, at Elizabethtown, was transferred to Newark within a year, and soon after to Princeton. In Princeton it began to build a permanent home for itself in 1754; because it was at Princeton it witnessed some of the most stirring events of the Revolution, and because it was a historic town it has itself become historic as Princeton College rather than under its legal title, the College of New Jersey.
After a long struggle the college achieved some measure of financial independence, but notwithstanding its reputation it remained straitened and hampered for lack of money and buildings, and its students were few, estimated by present standards. But it had created for itself that which was mightier for its good than money or estate, a body of alumni, loyal and loving, and strong enough to defend it from any danger from without while providing it with an adequate equipment within. With the coming of President McCosh in 1868 began the work of upbuilding; and since that time scarcely a year has passed in which the college has not added a building or two, until there are now upon and about its campus almost fifty—so many that it has become necessary to begin the demolition of the old in order to make room for the new; while since the beginning of President Patton's administration in 1888, they have been springing up, not one at a time, but in groups. This the devotion of alumni has accomplished toward the material prosperity of the college.
But new buildings have meant new departments and new schools, until the sphere of instruction has long been far broader than that ordinarily included under the term collegiate. Yet the college has clung to its old name, partly from conservatism, and partly because a university title has in great part lost its significance through the too free use of it by institutions of inferior equipment and narrow scope. It preferred to honor the humbler title rather than to assume the new one before its application became a matter of course; and so Princeton is almost the last prominent American institution
174

of the character to call itself, as it has long been called, a university.
Finally however, its friends began to press for a change of name, and as the institution was approaching its one hundred and fiftieth birthday, it was determined to make that birthday significant of all that had been accomplished and all that it was hoped to accomplish in the future. To that end, the wealthy alumni who had already done so much were solicited to do yet more, that in addition to buildings a new endowment might be secured for the enlarging of the library, the establishing of needed professorships, and the founding of fellowships and scholarship for the further encouragement of graduate study. The less wealthy alumni were invited to contribute their presence at the ceremonies attending the formal dedication of Prince ton as a university; invitations were sent far and wide to the scholars of America and those distinguished in other lands; and an elaborate and stately ceremonial was arranged, in keeping with the traditions of an institution whose history has to do with the aristocracy of the Old World as well as the democracy of the New. So it came to pass that our own University sent to grace the celebration its representative scholar, while another of its members, a humble alumnus of Princeton, yielded to the pressure brought to bear upon all alumni, packed his valise, and followed hard after; but not hard enough to reach the scene before the beginning of the second of the three days of festivity: the first day having been given to a religious service with a sermon by President Patton, and the reception of delegates from other institutions with speeches by distinguished foreigners.
The second day was certainly the democratic day, if such a distinction is in order. The writer had established his quarters in a city ten miles from Princeton, and to secure a seat in any train bound Princeton way was well-nigh impossible. Everybody was going; but it was not such a company of the youthful and hilarious as I had been accustomed to see on trains at Commencement time, or at the great football games. The hilarity was there, but more subdued than formerly; and the heads were often tray and sometimes white as snow. These gold-badges meant, not McKinley, but often thatumni who graduated thirty, forty, fifty, and sixty years ago were renewing their youth the old college was doing. Some of these men had come from the opposite side of the brothers had lived perhaps a quarter of a almost in sight of Nassau Hall without and were now taking up the old accrually as ever. It was an army men in active life, suggest-that when our own Uni-ce as many white my, the days ve long
Every foot of the campus was in possession of the men of days gone by. The under-graduate was there, but for once his importance was diminished, and he willingly gave place and precedence to those who had helped to make his college so beautiful and so great. The ivy-covered buildings were glowing with color, the proportion of orange to black apparently somewhat increased as more befitting to the occasion. From every window waved class or college banners, and a glance at Nassau Hall, the patriarch among the buildings, showed that a touch from an electrician would set it ablaze as soon as night should fall. The wealth of decorations somewhat obscured the fact that even in the brief time since I had last visited the place great changes had been made; but I did not forget to mourn over the disappearance of the old chapel, nor to admire what I could see of the foundation of the magnificent new library building, which will even finer than our own, and will cost ten times as much. There was, however, little time to waste in developing emotions of any sort, and I made haste to the committee office, passing on the way one of the two triumphal arches that spanned Nassau street, built in pure white, draped with the college colors, and bearing inscriptions commemorating the departing college and the coming university.
Tickets secured, I repaired to Alexander Hall,

the new Commencement hall, a dream of architectural beauty, and a marvel of discomfort as to its gallery seats. Perhaps they are Presbyterian seats; at least they are exceeding upright, built of oak, and hard to manage unless you know them pretty well. Here I listened, as long as I could in comfort, to a poem, and a historical oration, each delivered by a distinguished alumnus, one the Rev. Dr. Henry Van Dyke, the other Dr. Woodrow Wilson, and each fully equal to the occasion; then I began to twist about and to study the audience, in the vain effort to divert my mind from my sufferings. Before me upon the platform were the trustees and the faculty of the college, gowned in sable with hoods of white or purple or orange, looking very solemn and very splendid, and among them five or six of my own classmates who were assuredly feeling far less unhappy at that particular time than was I. Facing them in the parquet sat the delegates from other American colleges and the eminent men from abroad; the latter in gowns and hoods of the most varied colors, some of them fairly startling in contrast with the subdued hues about them. Gorgeous coloring was not confined to the foreigners however; if I remember correctly, one of the most brilliant gowns of all was worn by Dr. S. Weir Mitchell of the University of Pennsylvania, and its hue would have delighted the heart of a Kansas football enthusiast.
At this juncture it occurred to me that as an unofficial representative of the University of Kansas it devolved upon me to look about among the delegates for our official representative, to make sure that he was on hand and attending to his duties. Not having as yet fully imbibed the spirit of the ceremonial, I was in doubt whether I should or should not find him in a gown, and wasted some time in searching among the ungowned contingent, and in discussing with a classmate who sat next me the probabilities of finding him at all. At last, when I had temporarily given up the search, I caught sight of the top of a familiar head in the very forefront of the body of delegates, and I perceived immediately that a black gown and an orange hood was as becoming to a Kansas University representative as to anyone else there present. The conclusion is that while the West does not care for academic state, if it has occasion to assume it, its native dignity and independence make the state more stately and impressive. This however is by the way.
The exercises of the morning concluded, dinner was the next thing in order; but the problem was to find any. Here the official representatives had a great advantage, they did not have to provide their own entertainment. The Princeton caterers were over-whelmed, notwithstanding their experience in providing for ordinary crowds at Commencement time. I might have sought a hotel; but it was past the regular dinner hour, and I learned in my undergraduate days that in a Princeton hotel the provisions may give out, but the charge for sitting at table is never affected thereby. While I hesitated as to what to do,a group of classmates happened along on their way to "a good place next door to Hankins's." I joined them of course,but at the good place they were out of everything but sandwiches and so called coffee,and it was precisely thirty-seven minutes before those made their appearance from the lower regions.
Next in the order of exercises for the day was an exhibition football game between Princeton and the University of Virginia. This was as spirited and enjoyable as need be, and here I met for the second time our official representative, looking even happier than he did in the morning, deeply interested in the Princeton team and the method of recording the progress of the game upon a huge blackboard at the end of the field, and filled with astonishment that some of the official representatives whom he had met positively refused to attend the game, being deeply opposed to football and having therefore never seen it played.
But the football game was not a part of the official program, and was put in merely to occupy the time between morning and evening. A large part of the rest of that time was very successfully occupied in waiting at another good place for another sandwich and another cup of
176

doubtful coffee. These secured, I was ready for the climactic event of the first day, the torchlight parade of the alumni, reviewed by President and Mrs. Cleveland; Mrs. Cleveland to be emphasized because her name has had a magic influence upon every Princeton undergraduate ever since the day, soon after she became connected with the Administration, when she visited the college, met every student at a general reception, and won every student's heart. Loyalty to the President was a matter of course; but Presidents are no strangers in Princeton, while such another Mrs. President Princeton has seldom seen. But this is another digression; we were speaking of the parade. In preparation for it endless lines of colored lanterns had been hung along the streets of the town and at every available point upon the campus, the front and the tower of Nassau Hall had been studded with electric lamps until there was not room for another, the triumphal arches had been erected, the display of fireworks arranged, and a huge stand built in front of Nassau Hall. Admission to the campus itself was by ticket, and for once the very earth, or at least that portion of it within the campus fence, seemed too small to support all those who sought to stand upon it. While in the gathering darkness the multitude fought for space, in secret places and retired corners the preparations were making for the parade itself. The authorities had determined the time, the route, and the order of the march; but each individual class was left to exercise its own ingenuity as to what it should do, wear, pull, or carry to make its own part in the affair significant of its infinite superiority to all other classes. The results ranged all the way from the sublime to the ridiculous, the latter naturally predominating. The Washington Guards in full colonial uniform, a uniform so light that many of them must have thought of Valley Forge as they marched on that rather cool night, were beautiful; but the sublime was the division of white-headed veterans, whose class badges showed dates ranging from 1838 to 1859. They needed no uniform or transparency or float to make their part of the procession impressive; and the presence of even the
Chief Magistrate and of the hundreds of other distinguished men was a lesser honor to the occasion than was their presence, the lightness of their steps, and the enthusiasm with which they did their part.
Lanterns or torches, and badges, were carried and worn by each division, but in these there was great diversity, while apart from these there was originality run riot, originality mostly of the humorous order as was to be expected. There were many floats. One represented a tiger that would have terrified even a Kipling; another was labelled a Trojan horse, but more intimately resembled a nightmare. Transparencies were innumerable, and gave advice upon every conceivable subject, political, religious, educational or what not, besides setting forth the particular virtues of the classes that carried them. One informally besought President Cleveland, as "Grover," to send his boys to Princeton; another called for the free and unlimited coinage of a certain well known beverage without the aid or consent of anybody; another protested against the removal of old East College to make room for the new library, and nearly every other one gave expression to a sentiment that found full voice among the marching ranks below—
"We'll whoop her up for blankety-blank, we'll whoop her again,"
The blanks standing of course for the year of some class. Every college song that was ever heard in Princeton re-echoed through its streets againthat night; old college "gags" came to life again and were supplemented by innumerable new ones; the two miles or more of shouting, gesticulating, wardancing paraders might have seemed to a remoter or less accustomed observer like pandemoniac imps, had not a closer inspection showed that after all most of them were marching along quite sedately, sharing in the songs, but leaving the erratic parts of the performance to a few.
As the head of the procession finally reached the reviewing stand, after threading the borough streets for some miles, Nassau Hall burst into a blaze of light, at least so the newspapers said; your unofficial representative was just then not

able to see it, being a long distance away, struggling with the vilest torch that was ever made to hoax an innocent campaigner with, to prevent it from setting fire to himself or any of his neighbors, while he begged the same neighbors to march farther off, not to drop any tar upon him, and to cease smoking him with the smudge which emanated from all the torches. The latter protest was a vain one; in a very few minutes every member of that particular company was black enough in the face to have taken part in a minstrel performance. Those torches had but one virtue; they burnt entirely out before the line of march was traversed, and from that time we were at liberty to turn our attention to other matters, such as keeping in line and file, and observing what was going on elsewhere. However a man in the ranks could not observe very much except the back of the man in front, and an endless line of faces on each side of him; and occasionally it occurred to me to wish that I might change places with our official delegate for a few minutes, just long enough to see what the procession was really like. At last a quarter mile countermarch on Nassau Street gave the men in line a chance to see something of what others were doing. Then we turned into the campus, down McCosh walk, through the quadrangle, turned the left wing of Nassau Hall, and uncovered in front of the reviewing stand where sat a quiet, business-like looking gentleman, apparently the only man present who was not shouting or feeling inclined to do so. But he had no need to shout; if he had done so the sound would have been lost in the uproar of other shouting, the thunder of the captains, and the songs. Once a facetious remark was addressed to the Chief Magistrate himself, and those who were present at the time say that it moved him deeply. It was "Sixteen to one—nit." Your unofficial representative had not yet arrived upon the scene when this particular event took place, but at last he did arrive—the classes marched, after the undergraduates, in order of age, and there were many classes before the class of '88—and as he replaced his hat after passing the stand, there smote upon his ear in
the midst of all the uproar one single but exceedingly vigorous "Rock Chalk." Now a Princeton rocket cheer from some thousands of throats is a wonderful and sonorous thing; but the Kansas cheer has a quality that carries through the other much as a bullet pierces a board. I looked quickly to the right, and found, as I expected, a Kansas University man. This time he wore no gown, but he wore what became him equally well, an air as wildly enthusiastic as that of any Princetonian of them all. It was but a glance as I was swept on, to discover in a moment that the stations reserved in the front campus for the divisions to occupy after the march were largely already occupied, and that I was suddenly adrift in a sea of struggling humanity, each person striving to secure enough space for himself to stand on tiptoe to see the fireworks.
As soon as the parade was over, the multitude began to call for a speech from the President. He might have yielded after a time—college men have a way of getting what they wish everywhere but the management relieved the situation by ordering on the fireworks. During the brief but very brilliant display, the spectators practiced the rocket cheer to the time-keeping of the rockets themselves and endeavored to sing an ancient song in honor of Nassau Hall to the accompaniment of a full band; but no band could be expected to hold together the singing of such a chorus as that in the open air, with so much else going on at the same time.
With the burning of the "Goodnight" piece, the fireworks and the festivities of the second day were at an end. The most important and impressive of all was to come on the morrow. The unofficial representative repaired to the railway station, found standing room only upon the platform of the twelfth car of the first special train for Trenton; and here he rode, cold as to his outer man and hungry as to his inner one, but in deep serenity, knowing that at the end of the journey he would be warmed and possibly fed. And it was so.

Mr. Clark has just painted for Dr. Williston a picture of a sabre toothed tiger Hoplophoneus Occidentalis in his natural surroundings, as far as it was possible to ascertain. The picture is is an excellent one, displaying great artistic imagination, and reflects much credit on Mr. Clark. Several features of the picture are merely conjectural. There is no animal living to day that exactly resembles the one above. Mr. Clark has presumed the color of the animal to be like that of the tiger of to day, and determined the form and the proportions from the restoration which was made by Mr. Riggs; a copy of which was sent to the authorities of the American Museum. They are also going to make a painting in much the same way. The picture is to be used by Dr. Williston in illustrating an article which he is now writing for an eastern magazine.

Chemistry Notes.
Robert Combs, Pharmacy '92, who has spent several seasons as a sugar chemist in Louisiana will graduate this year at the Iowa Agricultural College.
Mr. Palmer reported on Henri Moissan's lecture in New York City and gave an interesting account of the experiments which he performed there.
At the Chemical seminary last Monday Mr. Cady reviewed the work of a number of physical chemists on the molecular complexity of liquids. Although they worked by different methods, they all agree that most substances have the same molecular weight in the liquid as they have in the gaseous state. The principle exceptions to this rule are water, the lower alcohols and fatty acids.
Prof. Franklin has made some vacuum jacketed test tubes for use in the investigation of liquid ammonia It is certainly very surprising what an efficient non conductor of heat a vacuum is, for in these tubes the liquified gas which boils thirty four degrees below zero will remain perfectly quiet for hours even with the mouth of the tube left open freely to the air. By means of these simple little pieces of apparatus this liquid can be experimented on as easily as so much water.
On the night of Hallowe'en the "pledglings" and "initiates" of the Kappa Kappa Gamma entertained the older members in a most novel and pleasing way. The old Hadley house on Tennessee street was furnished in a manner quite befitting the occasion. The walls and stairway of the reception rooms and hall were covered with white, which, together with the hostesses' ghostly apparel and their clanking chains would have won a smile of approval from the most gruesome of ghosts. Before supper the girls assembled in a darkened room and indulged in some choice and startling ghost stories. The most pleasant part of the evening was that spent in the dining room. The room was draped entirely in red and the weird light that the fire crackling in the grate threw upon
the prettily decorated table provided a contrast that was as stricking in appearance to the previous scenes as it was in effect. After supper fortunes were told and every old trick and game practiced that could be recalled for ages of Hollowe'ens. At half-past eleven the girls left, thanking their hostesses, who had again assumed human form, for a most pleasant evening, and probably the merriest and most happy girl of all was the one to whose lot the ring in the Kappa Kappa Gamma fortune cake fell.
Friday morning the Pi Phis, following the example of the Esoterics of Chicago University put their pledged girls through something of a test which to lookers on seemed to have been designed to remind the victims that their grammer school days were not over. After chapel time eight girls were seen attending classes in long pinafores and pigtails tied with the fraternity colors. Each one carried a large red apple, which presumably was to be eaten at recess, and a felt bound slate upon which were written the names;—Madgie Bullene, Gertie Hill, Winnie Hutchison, Maudie Maxwell, Amy Rudiger, Zillah Smith, Katie Taylor, Lucy Van Hoesen. This was preliminary to the initiation proper which took place Saturday evening at the home of Miss Daisy Cockins. After the ceremony a very amusing program was given by the old members who reversed the customary order of initiations by cutting a few capers themselves. To the cooky shine that followed, thirty-five enthusiastic Pi Phis sat down; among the number were Miss Mary Frost of Topeka a member from Knox College, and two of the patronesses—Mrs. Emery and Mrs. Arthur Weaver.

Abbotsford: The Personal Relics and Antiquarian Treasures of Sir Walter Scott, described by the Hon. Mary Monica Maxwell Scott of Abbotsford, and illustrated by William Gibb, is a handsome new quarto volume. There are over two dozen rather highly colored illustrations in the book, and much interesting information regarding Abbotsford and its illustrious former owner.
Walter Camp and Lorin F. Deland are the authors of a new book on "Football," which has just been received by the Weekly. These men are recognized as the best American authorities on this subject, and they have combined in this volume a careful historical account of the game, and a most elaborate and interesting description of the play as a whole, and of the "fine points" of each individual position on the team.
"Blocking," "Opening Holes in the Line," "Kicking" and "Team Play" are the titles of some of the chapters in this portion of the book. Over two hundred pages are devoted to general methods of coaching, "Field Tactics," "Signaling," use of "Fakes and Bluffs," etc. Other chapters of more general interest are on "How
to Watch a Game," "Effects of the Game on Players," "Twenty Years of Football" and similar topics. There are also fifty diagrams of plays with explanations. Everything is presented clearly and completely and in a way to interest almost anyone.
The book contains four hundred pages, is bound in red buckram and gold and is a very valuable work for the football coach, player or enthusiast. It is published by Houghton, Mifflin & Co. and sells for $2.00.

ATHLETICS
The game will be called at 3 o'clock.
The greatest game of the season, today.
Every loyal K. U. student should wear the crimson and the blue.
"Kid" Allen, the old Baker "quarter" made a punt of 50 yards in the "Medic" game.
Our backs and end men have been on the field several mornings, for practice in catching and punting.
The results of recent games have been as follows: Kansas o, Kansas City "Medics" 8; Princeton 37, Cornell o; Yale 16, West Point 2; Michigan 40, Lehigh o.
The Harvard-Princeton contest will excite more interest than any of the others. The Princeton showing so far this year has been slightly the better of the two.
Today promises to be one of the best football days of the season. Several of the big teams get together, and hard games are expected. Games between Harvard and Princeton; Carlisle Indians and Pennsylvania; Chicago and Wisconsin; Northwestern and Illinois teams will make it an exciting day.
Whether the Carlisle Indians will play the game against Pennsylvania, they did against Yale is a question. If they do, Pennsylvania may lose a second game. The result of the eastern games will be watched no less closely than those of the western teams. The Iowa Missouri game will give us an idea of Missouri's strength, so that football euthusiasts may begin to have an opinion as to the outcome of the Thanksgiving contest at Kansas City.
K. U. Defeated by the "Medics."
half back seemed to find plenty of holes in the Kansas line.
The game with the professional "Medic" team of Kansas City proved disastrous to the Jayhawkers. Over confident of winning, several substitutes were played, and the regular men were sadly missed.
The line of the "Medics" proved to be an unextionally strong one Bucholz, Pendleton and Light doing splendid work, while Lewis the left
Baine played a great game until in making an end run, he was fiercely tackled by Wofford and quite seriously injured, requiring medical attendance. At the end of the first half his place was taken by Crooks. Foster was handicapped with a bad ankle and Simpson, by no means, played his game at "tackle."
Good, clean, systematic team work, was clearly lacking in the Kansas team. The interference was straggling and the idea of playing quick, "snappy" ball seemed to have beeu entirely forgotten.
Kansas won the the toss and took the north side of the field. Play started with a kick off by Pendleton which was caught but only returned a few yards by Baine. And right here is the only time at which the Jayhawkers played their game and it looked for a time, as if they would carry the "Medics" off their feet. Baine, Hess and Williamson were sent through the line and around the ends for good gains. Kansas was given 15 yards for an off-side by Piatt. Baine went around the end for 15 yards and was tackled by Wofford, after Baines' injury the team lost heart and the "Medics" tried a little line bucking themselves, Pendleton was able to make an opening almost at will, through which the "Medics"' backs plunged for repeated gains. When within one yard of the Kansas goal line the ball was given to O'Donnell, who carried it over for a touch down. Pendleton missed the goal. Score 4 to 0.
Th second half was almost a repetition of the first with perhaps a little more punting by the "Medics." The one touch down made in the second half was by terrific line bucking to within 3 yards of the Kansas goal when Greason was pushed over and the score stood 8 to o. At no time could it be said that the "Medics" goal was in danger. The game closed with the ball in possession of the "Medics" on their own 40 yd line. The officials: Referee, Dr. W. E. Jackson; Umpire, Lieutenant E. V. Smith; Linesman, Fred Gump.

Entered at the Lawrence postoffice as second class matter.
ONLY one class in the University has had a party or anything of the kind this year. It is perhaps because man is a political animal first and a social one afterwards. Anyhow there is no excuse now for neglect of these occasions which compose the greater number of the all too brief moments of self-consciousness in the life of a class.
WELL Nebraska, we did it. And now you can't possibly expect us to let you come down here and win that debate next Spring, because that would be admitting that we can't talk and think as well as we can push and kick. No. Whether your boy orators be from the Platte or from Salt Creek, they will find abundant food for thought in what we have to say on the other side of the question for debate.
THE WEEKLY wishes to heave a sigh of relief. The election is over and people have almost ceased disagreeing about it. There is no occasion now for students to talk each other red in the face on the money question. The hateful spirit of intolerance which has filled the minds, and poisoned the tongues of many, even in the University, will soon die out. Moreover it is to be hoped that matters at home will now receive some attention, and that a little enthusiasm will manifest itself for such matters as the coming debates and oratorical contests.
THE tide has turned! Fortune again smiles upon us! Victory perches serenely on our triumphant banner! We feel that the game played by the team which we are proud to call "ours" was worthy of the University. All lurking doubt and criticism vanish before such a display of cool, scientific, and "clean" playing as was made by the team last Saturday. Nor have we anything but good words for the boys from Nebraska. They played in good form almost without exception and showed the effect of hard work and careful coaching. But the tricks which gained them the victory over Missouri were not able to save them here, and the simple truth—now a week old but no less true—is that they were outplayed.

It is time that those who are going to enter the oratorical contest this year should be writing their orations. In the absence from school of Mr. B.B.McCall,who was elected president of the association last year,Mr.Frank House is chief executive,and will be glad to have the names of any possible contestants.
As a practical step in the direction of attaining purity in politics, about a hundred students from the university of California and an equal number from Stanford university were detailed as election clerks in San Francisco. It is the scholar to whom the world looks for advice and regeneration. The next few years will show whether he recognizes his responsibility and is true to his trust.
As we view it a college can no more develop the best that is possible for it without contact with other colleges than can a child without contact with other children. Baker Orange.
Kansas University used to come in contact with Baker in fact it seemed to be a question of who could come in contact the harder. But we are by no means sure that this contact brought out the best that was in us. Probably the Orange will agree with us on this point, or at least say that it meant some other kind of contact than that which takes place on the football field.
SEVERAL Bible classes composed of University students have been meeting at the homes of professors and others for Bible study, one evening a week since the beginning of school. This is an excellent plan, but yet does not meet the need for study in this line among the students as a whole. The plan heretofore adopted of having a course of lectures on the Bible should be carried out again this year. The course might be lengthened so as to extend through several months, and it would probably be possible to secure several speaker from other towns. The religious organizations of the University could not do better work than by using this means of interesting and helping students in the study of the Bible.
STUDENTS HAVE you secured tickets for the lecture course? The time remaining before the first entertainment is short, and it is to be hoped the members of the University will not be less enthusiastic in supporting the Bureau than outsiders are.
Missouri is not very much reassured by the result of last Saturday's game, but she is hoping that we will be seized with an attack of overconfidence. This must not be allowed to occur. Missouri was perhaps as much out-tricked as out-played by Nebraska, and did not show her full strength. At any rate the "tigers" have plenty of time in which to develop a strong team, and Kansas will need all the wind, and muscle, and training that she can get between now and Thanksgiving. There ought to be enough second-eleven men out every night to line up for practice.
IF THERE is anyone in the University who feels that he needs more exercise than he is getting (and there are probably few in the upper classes who do not feel so,) and who has no very good way of getting it, he should immediately go and find a few more like himself; take up a collection-a silver collection will do very well—; and procure a basket-ball set, and a vacant lot, the latter may be rented or borrowed according to the size of the collection.
The basket ball set consists of a hollow rubber ball, and two "baskets," which are merely large.right-angle dip nets having the nets made of barrel hoops and some gunny sacking, and fastened at right angles to a couple of twelve foot poles which are to be firmly planted in the ground about a hundred feet apart. The game then, in brief, is to choose sides and see which side can first put the ball into the other side's basket. There are a few rules prohibiting kicking or carrying the ball which add much to the skill required in playing well. We watched a game the other night, incidentally running the ball a few miles as a preparatory step to learning how to play, and we think it safe to say that if you wish to be happy and healthy and hungry, you should play basket ball.

The Princeton Sesquicentennial. (Concluded from last week.)
The college authorities had evidently ordered their sesquicentennial weather a long time in advance, and with excellent discrimination, reserving the finest till the third and last day. How our official delegate would have rejoiced if he could have accompanied me early that morning on the bicycle ride I took with my host over one of the perfect roads now so numerous in New Jersey. In electing to go to Princeton on the latest morning train I took chances of being unable to secure a seat at the principal event of all; but I was just on the spot as the doors of Alexander Hall were thrown open, and my seat though no more comfortable than that of the preceding day was a better one to see and hear from. Having secured it there was nothing to do for half an hour but to hold it while waiting for the academic procession to appear. People pressed in till every inch of standing room was taken, the vestibules and stairways where one could hear nothing and see less were also packed, two or three thousand people were within the building and two or three thousand more were unable to obtain admission. During this time a gowned organist was endeavoring to entertain the audience and display the fine new instrument just erected in the hall; but with the exception of an occasional chord fortissimo, or perhaps a phrase or two during a lull, he succeeded in displaying only his mastery of technique to those who were looking at him; the audience as a whole was evidently not interested in organ music. In the gallery opposite him was stationed a full brass band, the members of which seemed entirely content to sit still and allow the audience and the organist to discourse whatever they pleased.
Meanwhile, over at Marquand Chapel, in the midst of a throng of those who could not get into Alexander Hall, and were compelled to see out of doors what they were destined to see, was gathering perhaps the largest company of eminent men that ever met together in one place. Here were the President and faculty of Princeton College and the presidents and portions of the faculties of many other colleges as well; here was the President of the United States with a military escort, and here were sixty-five of the most distinguished living scholars who were this day to honor and to be honored by receiving the first degrees conferred by Princeton University. And yet there was nothing in the atmosphere, or in the air of these men as they struggled to put on their robes, to indicate to a casual observer the quantity of greatness there assembled; it was merely a jolly company preparing to be dignified by and by; and even at their best, there was not one of them who could compare in dignity with any member of that military escort, the City Troop of Philadelphia. To observe the impassiveness, the air of utter unconsciousness with which one of those youthful but imposing soldiers sat his horse and gazed into space while a college classmate stood before his horse's nose, looked him over critically, and made facetious comments upon him as a work of art, was intensely amusing, and might have been even more so if one could have seen what was passing in the mind of the mounted man.
Before the old college clock struck eleven the procession was ready to move, the dismounted guard leading, the grand marshal and his baton next in order, then the President of the college and the President of the country, and then the gowned academicians two and two, a long, black, slow-moving line, except for the flashes of color almost painfully suggestive of that saddest of occasions, a college funeral. This was indeed the funeral procession of Princeton College, and the last hour had already struck. It was this thought that gave to this day a solemnity so unlike the spirit of the preceding one.
At Alexander Hall the guard halted. The black-robed ones passed on into the stone corridors like monks entering their cloister, threaded their way to the rear, and there entered what I may term the amphitheatre. At that instant there was a crash; the building was intact, but the band had waked up, and the or-

gan was silenced in a breath. The audience rose and remained standing while the dignitaries filed slowly to their places; President Patton occupying the onyx throne in the center of the platform, President Cleveland at his right, Governor Griggs of New Jersey at his left; at the right again Bishop Satterlee of Washington, and at the left of the Governor Rev. Dr. Cuyler of Brooklyn; behind them the sixty-five about-to-be recipients of degrees; before them so much of the rest of the world as was there assembled.
The exercises were conducted with the utmost simplicity. Prayer was offered by Dr. Theodore L. Cuyler, for fifty-five years an alumnus of the college, and a leader among churchmen. Then in a few brief words President Patton announced the result of the labors of the committee on endowment, and read a statement showing that almost a million and a half of dollars was pledged, in addition to the present resources of the college, to the support of the new university. As these statements were read, evidence of a startling nature presented itself that the galleries of the building were packed with under-graduates and alumni who had sought an exalted station that they might make a noise therein. In the center of the rear gallery, exactly opposite President Patton, sat and stood by turns a young lawyer who was not mentioned in any part of the program, but who attracted as much attention as anybody there, who was in fact there for that purpose. He was the leader of the cheering, provided with cane and colors and infinite self confidence, determined hat the under-graduates should have a full share in the launching of the University; and at his beck the pent up emotions of that great audience were to surge forth in unison and cadence, or be restrained until another moment fitting for the expression of them should arrive. Near him sat one of our own alumni, now in Princeton parlance a Seminole, of course in the very center of disturbance, frequently offering to the man with the cane suggestions as to when the disturbance should be renewed.
After the galleries had fully expressed their
satisfaction with the amount set forth in President Patton's statement, he caused a shout of approval by stating that the labors of the committee on contributions were by no means ended. He then passed on to explain the reasons for the proposed change of name, and concluded with these words:—
"It is my great pleasure to say that from this moment, what heretofore for one hundred and fifty years has been known as the College of New Jersey shall in all future time be known as Princeton University."
Then a cheer went up in which for a moment the college cheer was lost, but from which it emerged unruffled and insistent as ever. The band gave forth a mighty chord, and so with shouting and the sound of trumpets, Princeton University was born. To some this was the crowning event of the day. That afternoon my "Seminole" friend said to me, "It was at this moment that I felt most deeply impressed. I looked at my watch and noted that it was exactly thirtynine minutes past eleven." I replied, "I was so deeply impressed that I forgot to look at my watch; yet for me something far more impressive was to come." It was the moment, at the close of President Cleveland's speech, that gave expression, not to the mere fact of the existence of the University, but to the grand purpose that is to dominate it in the years that shall be.
Next in order was the conferring of honorary degrees. This part of the ceremonial was effective, and yet had its amusing side; so that it is not difficult to understand why on such occasions in English universities the undergraduates in the gallery indulge in the wildest license as regards not simply cheering, but "guying,"catcalling, and every form of demonstration likely to discompose the dignified candidates or disturb their gravity. At first thought it may seem strange that with all our acknowledged disregard of pomp and circumstance our American under-graduates do not do the same thing; but perhaps the explanation is that we respect men in whatever estate, while the English

under-graduate defers only to royalty. Be that as it may, while some of the eminent gentlemen brought forward on this occasion were evidently slightly embarrassed, the hearty reception accorded by the students to each as his name was announced, went far to place him entirely at ease.
And indeed the ceremony was somewhat trying to a man of a retiring disposition. The recipients of degrees in divinity, philosophy and science, and letters, were introduced by the heads of those respective schools in the University. As his name was read, each candidate rose and walked to the front of the platform, escorted by the acting master of ceremonies, who then announced all his titles and honors and works of distinction, while the candidate did his best to assume a far-a-way and unconcerned expression. The introduction completed, the candidate bowed to the audience, then turned and bowed again to President Patton, and was then ushered to his place upon the platform where he stood facing the President, back to the audience, and toeing a mark carefully inlaid in the mosaic floor for convenience upon such occasions. Here he had to wait while enough other candidates were brought forward to occupy fully the front of the platform. Occasionally somebody forgot himself, and turned his back to the audience before being introduced, whereupon the master of ceremonies was compelled to turn him round again before proceeding; but in general all displayed self possession in a very difficult position.
As soon as a sufficient number of candidates were in line, the master of ceremonies bowed to President Patton, who thereupon placed upon his head his academic "mortar board," and without rising or making any effort to be heard beyond the circle immediately before him, pronounced this formula: "Auctoritate mihi commissa Universitatis Princetoniensis vos ad summum gradum admitto." These magic words spoken, everybody seemed much relieved; the president removed his cap, the newly fledged doctors filed past and shook hands with him, and presto, the platform was vacant
and ready for another group. In fact the celerity with which the investiture was concluded after the candidates were in line was rather disappointing.
Now and then a special burst of cheering greeted a name more widely known to the under-graduates than others, before the accompanying list of titles could be read. Such names as Karl Brugmann, Edward Dowden, Felix Klein, Andrew Seth, Goldwin Smith, and Joseph John Thompson might well arouse enthusiasm; while of our countrymen there were James B. Angell, Daniel C.Gilman, S. P. Langley, Joseph Le Conte, Seth Low, Simon Newcomb, Morgan Dix, Richard Watson Gilder, and Charles Dudley Warner.
Some time as may well be believed had elapsed before the last of the sixtyfive had passed from the stage. Then President Patton rose, and turning toward the gentleman in citizen's dress who sat at his right, said in substance that it had been proposed to confer yet another degree, but that it had been, by him it was proposed to honor, declined "in the interests of his own modesty;" yet he had consented to grace the festival by his presence, and to say a few words on the occasion which inaugurated Princeton University. Thus he presented the President of the United States.
As President Cleveland rose and came forward, the audience rose also, and its applause continued for several minutes while the band and the organ bombarded away without making much of an impression. Quiet restored, he stood at the side of a desk, and read his address in the most straight forward and matterof-fact way, but with great deliberation and earnestness. One had almost to rub his eyes and pinch himself to realize that this was really one of the men who have twice received the highest honor in the gift of the people, and that now at the close of his political career he stood before this academic audience as though he regarded it a higher honor to be there and to speak of the duty and responsibility of the University to the State. Not, he said, to rest in learned seclusion and to be content merely with scholar-
194

ship,but to labor for the whole community,to be "tribunes of the people" and to lead them in devotion to the country and in obedience to the laws of God, should be the scholar's ideal. Love of country and love of God,-what note could more fittingly have been struck at the dedication of an institution with such sublime possibilities before it and by such a man in such a place. It was not the man or his words, or any one thing, but all, that made the very air seem tense and still with the thought," Here perhaps we are making history; this very moment may become one of the imperishable."
After such tension a reaction must come. The speaker ceased, but before he moved from his place the entire audience, dignitaries and all, was on its feet, and the air burst into a flutter of handkerchiefs, while such a thunder of applause shook the walls as they shall not soon hear again. In a moment the organ added its thunder, there throbbed and beat the measures of the hymn that whether it be called "God save the Queen," or "America;" is mightier than any other to move an Anglo-Saxon heart; and poured forth such a song of joy, of patriotism, and of worship as may be heard but once in a lifetime by those who heard it then. This was for me the supreme moment, the moment that I shall never forget. A few words simply and fitly spoken, a solemn dedication of a new life upon the stepping-stone of its dead self to the noblest service within the scope of human achievement, accompanied by such an outpouring of enthusiasm as no thought could have anticipated—this I had heard and seen, and was content.
The rest of my tale I must tell briefly. There was in the afternoon a state luncheon of which the official delegates partook with each other and with the president, while our Seminole friend, Mr. D. E. Potter, carried me off to the Abbey of which he is father abbot, where he agreeably introduced me to the brethren in the refectory thereof. Then followed the reception to President Cleveland to which the public was invited, and where as I passed him swiftly by,
my pace accelerated by officials appointed for that purpose, I breathed into his ear a statement that seemed to fill him with pleasure as well as astonishment, that I brought him a greeting from Kansas. Then your unofficial representative ushered your official one into the secret precincts of the Hall of the Cliosophic Society, where with strange ceremonies and incantations that may not be written even in Greek letters, he with many others became an honorary member of that mystic and literary brotherhood. After another visit to the Abbey, the abbot and I repaired again to Alexander Hall to hear a glee club concert. Then we parted, and just before train time I slipped in at the rear of the huge dining room of the Casino, and took a last look at our official delegate as he partook of the feast of reason and eloquence that followed the farewell banquet tendered by the University to its departing guests. And as I returned to Trenton, this time having a whole car to myself, I reflected with pleasure that in the entire ceremonial there had not been struck one single inharmonious note; that there had been no slip, no mistake, no failure on the part of any one to rise to the spirit of the occasion, nothing unworthy of the occasion; that as a ceremonial with a definite purpose it had fallen little if at all short of perfection.
One or two questions are likely to suggest themselves touching this celebration. Of what use was all this "fuss and feathers?" Does it mean anything to us, to Kansas University in particular?
The answer to the first question is that such a ceremonial as this would not be in place except in the older universities where it belongs to tradition; but that where it is to be observed at all it should be made as beautiful and as significant as possible. Under it all there lies something that does have interest to us. The ceremonial is of the past; but the spirit of the new unit ed more than once instructors are men,

and that the university is to come into touch with practical affairs. But this has always been the aim of the typical Western university, and in that we have accomplished much in this direction, we may claim in this respect to be abreast if not in advance of some of those more favored in years, prestige and wealth. Again the ceremonial itself is typical of conservatism; and while conservatism is in general eminently wise, it does occasionally prevent an institution from filling full the measure of its possible usefulness. We may not in our 150th year overtake Princeton in actual, but we may surpass it in comparative achievements. What we most need now is such a body of alumni as Princeton has; and this we shall have very soon.
And finally, the founding of the University of Princeton means to Kansas University men something even more practical. It means I trust graduate fellowships and scholarships, the opening of new opportunities to us, the establishing in time I hope of a Kansas colony at Princeton as well as at Harvard, where we have won such a distinguished place. Not that the graduate work of our own institution is to be disregarded, but that even if our library were ample, it is still better, other things being equal for the graduate student to change his point of view, for the Princeton student to come to Kansas, and for the Kansas student to go to Princeton. Thus each will do its part in wiping out the new sectionalism, and in placing scholarship at the helm in all matters affecting the well-being and the happiness of a common country. E.M.HOPKINS.
L. A. Lowther, Superintendent.
J. H. Patten at Harvard.
The following extracts taken from a recent letter of J. H. Patten, may be of interest to his many friends in the University, as showing his opinion of the East in general and Harvard university in particular.
Mr. L. A. Lowther, '94 was elected superintendent of the Emporia City Schools, Tuesday, November, 3. Mr. Lowther graduated from the University with the class of '94 and since graduation has been engaged in successful school work at the head of the schools of Cottonwood Fall. There were many applicants for the place at Emporia, and Mr. Lowther is to be congratulated upon this deserved success in obtaining the position.
This is a great country! Queer topography and queer people and queer weather. But th're all right when you once learn how to take them. When you once understand that you're apt to stub your toe on a hill in any direction you go and that you're likely to get a stone bruise any time or anywhere; and when you comprehend empirically that heaven's eternal law of weather as prognosticated by the various phases of the moon is kept and violated arbitrarily, when you are converted to the faith that the prolonged droll of the letter r and the extreme flattening of the a are not to be considered as affectations and are not looked upon by the "Yankee" as signs of eastern culture; it is then that the feeling will creep on you that this country is all right in its way.
I can't tell you much about this historic spot as yet. I've had several exhilerating bicycle rides, a little of the pleasure of which I wish I could send out to you. It inspires one with a deal of patriotism to visit the numerous tablets and read of some of the bold patriotic strokes for liberty and for country. There is an impulse to take off the hat when the tombs of modern and colonial heroes are visited.
I'd be pleased to spend a decade or so here. I wouldn't want to live here, I've too much western spirit in me for that. It would get the best of me too often in order to be successful.
The "colony" fares well, except Breese who was called home a week ago because of the critical condition of his mother.
I wish I could prevail on you to come here for a year's work. You will observe that I've already become a Harvard enthusiast. It can't be helped the air is full of the odor.
I am kept somewhat close at work or I might have hastely scribbled you a few scratches long since. Everything new—even the departments I am in—so there is considerable wasted energy and more or less friction.

The accessions for the past week have been forty-two volumes.
Hereafter the Library will be closed Saturdays at four o'clock, on account of the lack of heat and light.
Among the new books we notice the following: Life, Letters, and Works of Louis Agassiz, by Jules Marcon, two volumes.
An Aide-de-Camp of Napoleon, memoirs of General Count de Segur of the French Academy, 1800-1812. Revised by his grandson, and translated by H.A.Patchett-Martin.
Economic History of Virginia in the Seventeenth Century, an inquiry into the material condition of the people, based upon original and contemporaneous records, by Philip Alexander Bruce, two volumes.
Briefs for Debate on Current Political, Economic and Social Topics, edited by W. Du Bois Brookings and Ralph Curtis Ringwalt, with an introduction by Albert Bushnell Hart.
Two books on the drama—A Record of the Boston Stage, by William W. Clapp, Jr., and The Technique of the Drama, a statement of the principles involved in the value of dramatic material, in the construction of plays, and in dramatic criticism, by W. T. Price.
Three books on the ConstitutionCommentaries on the Constitution of the United States, Historical and Judicial, by Roger Foster, vol.1; the second volume of the Constitution of the United States by George Ticknor Curtis; and Documentary History of the Constitution of the United States of America, derived from the records, manuscripts, and rolls deposited in the Bureau of Rolls and Library of the Department of State, vol. 1.
Four more volumes of Henry M. Baird's history of the Huguenots. The first two volumes of this series, The Rise of the Huguenots of France are already in the Library. These are entitled The Huguenots and Henry of Navarre, two volumes, and The Huguenots and the Edict of Nantes, two volumes. Dr. Baird, who is professor
of Greek in the university of the city of New York, was one of several upon whom the degree of Doctor of Letters was conferred by Princeton at the recent sesquicentennial celebration.
Korean Games, with notes on the corresponding games of China and Japan, by Stewart Culin, director of the museum of archaeology and paleontology, university of Pennsylvania. The work is issued by the university of Pennsylvania, a limited edition of five hundred and fifty copies. The illustrations, many of which are in colors, are quaint and pretty. They are almost entirely by Korean artists. The colored design on the cover makes one think for a moment that it is in honor of our foot-ball team; but, when we remember that the colors of the university of Pennsylvania are the same as those of our Athletic Association, it is explained differently.
You can study Shorthand, Book-keeping or Penmanship in day or night school at the Lawrence Business College without interfering with University work. Terms reasonable. For particulars call at the office in the National Bank Building.

Kansas Wins from Nebraska.
Last Saturday was a gala day for Lawrence foot-ball enthusiasts. McCook field was crowded with handsomely decorated turnouts especially noticeable being the tally-hos of the Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta fraternities which were gaily decorated with crimson and blue mingled with the colors of the respective societies.
The game was in the nature of a most agreeable surprise to the Jayhawkers. The contest, which was much closer than the score indicates, was a well earned victory for Kansas. It would be impossible to give the names of the men who "played to win" without giving the entire line-up of the Kansas team. The game in detail was as follows: Kansas won the toss. Captain Hamill chose the ball, Nebrafka taking the west goal. Baine kicked off for 40 yards.
Thorpe carried the ball back only 4 yards before he was downed by the Kansas ends. Shed went through the Kansas tackle for 3 yards. Nebraska fumbled on the next play and Kennedy got the ball. Terrific line bucking by Hester, Baine and Hamill, carried the ball well down into the Nebraska territory. An off side play takes the ball to the Nebraska 10 yard line, and the Jayhawkers along the side lines nearly went wild. But "silence reigned supreme" when by an unfortunate fumble Kansas lost the ball and Thorpe punted the pigskin down the field for 40 yards. Kennedy got the ball. Sanderson and Mosse were sent against the line for small gains. Kansas tried a quarter back punt but owing to the wind lost 10 yds and the ball. Dungen, Shedd and Packard buck the line for small gains, Burke was given the ball for an end run but Sanderson was too fast and tackled him for a loss of 10 yards. Nebraska attempted a punt, which was blocked by Voights and Kennedy, Voights falling on the ball with a ten yard loss to Nebraska. Hester sprained his ankle, and Hess went to half and Baine took Hester's place at full.
Kennedy failed to gain and Nebraska got the ball on her 10 yard line Turner, Nebraska's big guard, made two yards, Thorpe lost 5 yards. Nebraska fumbled on a pass for a punt and Kansas took the ball just 1 yard from Nebraska's goal and Baine was pushed over for a touch-down just 15 minutes from time play was called. Walker kicked the goal.
In the second half Shedd kicked off for 45 yards, Baine regained 10 yards, Baine punted for 50 yards, Whitney was down the field and downed the man in his tracks. Sanderson stopped an end run and Kansas got the ball. Then it was that the ball was passed to Baine for an end run with Voights and Sanderson in the interference, he circled the end and went down the field 60 yards for a touchdown. Walker kicked goal.
In the face of defeat the Nebraska men played harder than before, but it was useless. It was Kansas day and she was out to win.
202
Kansas University Weekly.
One more touchdown was added making the score 18 to 4.
The honors were evenly divided as to individual play. Fitzpatrick the Kansas left guard played the game of his life. Baine, Voights and Kennedy also did splendid work, Baine's run being the prettiest one of the season. Whitney and Sanderson outplayed the Nebraska ends both in blocking, punts and getting down the field.
Thorpe and Shedd played the game behind the line while Whipple and Wiggins were particularly strong in breaking through the line.
The officials were: Lieutenant Smith, U. S. A. umpire; Fred Cornell of Lincoln, referee; Mr. Fisher of Doane College, linesman.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE ability of President Canfield has been found great enough to warrant the erection of an administration building on the campus of Ohio university.
VERY FEW of the young women in the University are subscribers to the Weekly, a fact that we are loath to admit and unable to account for. The literary department is surely
not too profound nor the local page too frivilous for this class of readers, and the only explanation left is that there is something lacking rather than something wrong. Is it a "side talks with girls" column that is needed to make the Weekly worthy of your patronage, young women? If so we will request the associate editor to assume a pseudonym and open such a department at once. Let your wants be known, for the Weekly's motto is "we serve."
"FOR HUMANITY and our students" is the motto of those engaged in what is known as the College Settlement work among the poor and ignorant classes in cities, a work which commands the sympathy of anyone who becomes acquainted with it. The plan is to establish and keep open, settlement houses in the tenement or slum districts of cities and to fit up these houses with reading rooms and gymnasiums. The men in charge endeavor to interest the people, especially children, who visit the houses, and by means of talks and games to develop their weakened bodies and neglected minds. The work can hardly be engaged in by under-graduates except where a college is situated in a large city. In Chicago Rev. Graham Taylor is at the head of the movement, which, however, is not carried on entirely by students. Nebraska university seems to be favorably situated for the work and has organized a College Settlement committee which is making active preparations to enter the field. A few former students of Kansas university are conducting houses in different places, and it has been proposed to carry on the work in Kansas City with the University as headquarters, but as yet no satisfactory plan for doing this has been formed.

WITH THE passing of the election was the passing of the political cartoonist. He was a queer piece of mentality, with his fantastic, hysterical imagination, and yet he was no small factor in the contest.
WE ARE glad to see the chess club organize again. Inter-collegiate chess tournaments are common in the east, and the game is worthy of much more attention than it has received here of late.
DR. WATSON (Ian McLaren) has been delivering a course of lectures at Yale, and made some remarks, very flattering to Yale, in comparing that University with Oxford and Cambridge. He commended especially the fewness of the restrictions imposed upon American students, and said that England is fast adopting the elective system so popular here.
THE PRELIMINARY debates at Nebraska have begun. The set of questions was:
First: Resolved that a court should be established for the compulsory arbitration of all difficulties between capital and labor. Second: Resolved, that universal manhood suffrage is true in theory and best in practice for republican government. Third: Resolved, that the United States should own and control the railroads. Fourth: Resolved, that the policy of the United States should be to extend her dominions.
ALTHOUGH we do not like to break in on the festivities now being held at Baker over the acquisition of a new telescope with a five inch aperture, yet in the interests of truth it must be said that this is not the "largest telescope in Kansas." The University telescope is an inch larger in aperture, and when "trained" by the keen eye of Prof. Miller has a range of almost any number of millions of miles. But since the atmosphere at Baker is no longer laden with the smoke of foot-ball contests it may be that they will overcome this disadvantage of size, and be able to count about as many mountains on the moon as Prof. Miller can.
No words of ours are necessary to express the deep regret which is felt by every member of the University for the fatal accident at last Saturday's game. More expressive than words could be were the anxious faces of those who filled the Eldridge House corridors during the evening of that sad day. The few who knew that services would be held were present at them on Sunday afternoon to express as best they could the feeling of sorrow that filled their hearts. Since that time everyone has repeated many times to himself or another the sad and sadly futile words "too bad." It will be doubly sad if the lesson which this young man's death has set before us is allowed to go unlearned. It is useless to say that football was not at least indirectly the cause of this death. Possibly the ideal football would never result in accident of any kind, but the fact remains that football as it is now played was the cause and the only cause of the loss of a life. Football as it is now played may, in many colleges, be engaged in by a player at his own option, whether he be in condition or not, and this license is what led to a death. Rather than allow this danger to exist it would be better to abolish the game entirely. Kansas University has taken a step toward avoiding the danger by having medical examination of the team, but so long as we consent to play with teams which have not done even this much, are we not responsible for whatever happens? This much reform then is necessary. We must not only inforce it ourselves but we must demand the same of others. There are probably other points of the game that might be modified in the interests of safety. But supposing that we attain the point of perfection, the ideal game, we are still not safe; there will remain our opponents who have not reached it.
If, however, all the teams in the league would adopt the needed reforms, the situation would be considerably improved. Some such united action in this direction is the least that can be done, and it must be done if football is to maintain its popularity or even its existence as a legitimate sport.

Gently drop the whispering leaflets Through the sunshine's yellow gold, Hastening to protect Earth Mother From harsh Winter's piercing cold. Tenderly they cling about her Whisp'ring words of love and cheer, Promises of coming Spring-time Day of Resurrection near, When glad Earth shall rise in beauty, Re-created, from her trance; And once more the merry leaflets On the green trees leap and dance.

"The Education of Our Youth at College."
"You're going to take him to your party?" I asked, looking down at Polly as she tripped along by my side.
Polly shook her parasol—a ridiculous little flounced affair in white—decided to open it and framed her face in its fluffiness. Then she looked up at me. "Yes," she said with a comical little sigh that was straightway swallowed up in the ripple of laughter which overtook it, "That's one of the penalties of raising a boy."
I looked down at Polly, then at the erect stalwart figure of the Junior who had elicited this comment, and then at Polly again. "I may be extraordinarily obtuse," I said, "but I confess I don't see."
Polly looked at me again and laughed, for some unaccountable reason.
"He's very nice looking now, isn't he?" she said. "But you can't imagine what he was a couple of years ago." She clasped her hands in a gesture of burlesque despair. "He was raw, you know, perfectly raw. He wore his hair parted on the side, and oh such neck-ties! They used to give me the night-mare regularly. Then he laughed at everything I said and tried to be witty and to amuse me."
I shuddered, and Polly bestowed an approving look on me before she went on. "Then he never smoked, and looked on cards as—oh, I don't know--infernal machines, I suppose. And he said 'Yes ma'm,' and 'No ma'am.' Just fancy !" "and went to the Y. M. C. A. meetings, I suppose, and wore a C. E. pin?" I said.
"I see you have the idea," answered Polly, dimpling at me.
"But he seems to be very different—and indifferent,—now," I ventured.
"Yes, isn't he," said Polly, with enthusiasm.
"He smokes a pipe," I continued "and the most sure-footed fly would slide off his hair, and he walks with his left hand in his trousers pocket—"
"Yes; I really believe," said Polly swinging the sunshade, "I really believe I have made a success."
"You !!" I said, looking at Polly in perplexity, "You?"
Polly dimpled again, and flashed a mischievous glance into my eyes.
"He was very young, you know," she said, "just eighteen, and I suggested things and laughed at him and—oh everything."
"Yes," I said, "but I don't understand. Why did he do it for you and—"
"Stupid!" said Polly, "He was—oh well, he rather—"
"Start again." I suggested encouragingly.
"Well, then, he liked me, you know," said Polly.
"Oh!" I said comprehendingly, "and you—" "Yes," said Polly.
Then she cocked her parasol so as to frame her face again, and laying her hand lightly on my arm looked up into my face with a glance that sent my old heart, tough as it is, into a flutter.
"Do you see?" asked Polly stooping to pick a four-leaf clover.
"I see." I said. Then I put out my hand to help her up, and as our eyes met we both laughed.
"Not at all!" she said promptly. "He's perfectly happy."
"Poor fellow!" I sighed with a glance at Polly.
"And next year?" I suggested. "I don't

know," answered Polly doubtfully. "But its good for him," she said, recovering.
"Is it?" I said.
"Isn't it?" said Polly.
"It interferes afterwards," said I.
"If one can't hit the one that struck, one passes the blow along," said Polly, looking away from me, and I thought I heard a sigh. I'll not pretend to say what Polly was thinking of, but I was remembering an episode in my own youth, and when I echoed the sigh it was for myself and Polly's friend and all the generations of us before and after.
Polly turned her eyes from the hills and looked straight at me-a thing she rarely did.
"I'm not certain that it's all my fault," she said.
I couldn't exactly see that; but no doubt we looked at it from different standpoints, Polly and I.

The Fisherboy.
The summer sun had set behind the hills that skirt the little lake, and peeping o'er their summits were giant clouds of glowing violet, formed like fabled gods and dragons who had gathered for a moment's sport in the airy, amber wilderness. Above their heroic heads and in the remotest west was a long, lace-like cloud of glowing gold that seemed floating in the sky of another world than this, and which shed a glory on the waters of the tiny lake.
Not a breath of air stirred the topmost leaves of the giant cotton-wood whose pronged roots jutting from the sandy bank seemed reaching for the weather-stained fisherman's cabin on the shore, as a child might reach for some curious plaything.
In the door-way of the cabin sat the large eyed fisherboy idly strumming a guitar and watching the tumbling violet heroes of the sky. Now a giant of Egyptian profile towered above the turbulent throng and extended his arms in attitudes of royal authority. Then as if by magic he melted and in his place a great bear and a winged sphynx engaged in a combat while all the host looked on. Again and again the enchanted monsters changed their form, and at last along the lower clouds crept a crimson red as of dragon's blood spilled upon the battle-field of the gods.
By this time the old fisherman, who had come up from the lake with the dripping nets upon his shoulder, stood looking at the boy whose wild fancies he never understood. It seemed strange too, that the boy should so often leave his city home and spend weeks in this humble cabin, but had the boy been his own son, the old fisherman could not have loved him more.
"Guy," said the man, "I've been looking everywhere for you to day. Your father has been here again, and has left word for you to be sure and see him before night. There is no chance to ride now but it is only three miles across the fields and you have plenty of time to walk. I am sure he wants you for something important."
"I suppose I must help in the store again," said the boy.
"Are you going?"
"On such a night as this? No. I have been rowing on the river all day and I'm tired. I can rest here much better than I can rest at home."
Guy's desires were more important to him than those of his father, so he dismissed the whole affair from his mind and as the darkness gathered upon the wooded hills, he fell to watching the black bats swing around the smoky red fire that the fisherman kindled on the shore.
The next morning he arose early, and taking his fishing outfit set out for the willow fringed river that was not far from the lake. In the afternoon his father, a dignified man of few words and of unapproachable manners, arrived at the hut inquiring for Guy, and at the request of the old gentleman, the fisherman went to the river in search of the thoughtless boy.
In the meantime the newcomer surveyed the interior of the simple hut with contempt and disgust.
"Worthless boy," he ejaculated. "Though I have offered him a position in my store time and again, he still prefers this miserable, idle

life. Well, I'll give him just one more opportunity and then I am through."
The fisherman found Guy seated in a large marsh willow that leaned far out over the purling river, and succeeded in bringing him to the cabin.
Guy's father in his cold, abrupt way rebuked his son for his indifference to his own welfare and then said:
"I have sold out the business. I am now going to Chicago where I shall start again and where you can have a desirable position. You are now of age and it is time for you to choose some occupation for life. Another important matter is the two thousand dollars that were to be yours when you became of age. Have you forgotten that? Are you ready to go with me?"
Guy was silent for a while. A sadness settled upon his heart. He could see the great dusty city where he must spend most of his working hours in a noisy store where nobody seemed to care for anybody else. Then he remembered the quiet sunset of the previous evening. Perhaps tonight the purple beings would again revel in the west and the swimming musk-rat break the surface of the lake into diverging lines of liquid violet. Must he give up all the quiet beauty of this place for the hideous din of the city? must he leave the fisherman who loved him? must he give up his guitar and and his sweet moments of leisure forever? must he forsake the life that he was satisfied to lead and take up one so irksome that he would rejoice when sleep brought forgetfulness? His father was waiting for a reply; he must decide at once.
So with resolute heart he said, "Father, I have chosen the occupation of fisherman. If the money you mention is mine I will be glad to receive it and then spend the rest of my time here among the willows."
So the old gentleman calmly wrote out a check and then bidding the boy and the fisherman good-by he departed for the city.

A Class Incident.
There was silence for a moment, then from the back of the room came an emphatic, "We know!"
The Professor looked at the rebel for a moment, "Then you think we have higher ideals than a musquito?"
"Yes," answered the boy half defiantly.
"Well," continued the Professor, "Now what is a musquito's ideal?"
Quick as a flash came the answer, "To pursue man!"
A quizzical little twinkle came into the Professor's eyes. "You have evidently been camping lately," said he.

Y.W.C.A.
There are many friends of the Young Women's Christian Association, and some even among those who are contributing to its support who know little of the nature of its work.
The total present membership is 119. At the close of last year, the society lost forty-five members who did not return, but more than fifty new names have been added to the list since the beginning of the term. Forty-six young women are at work on standing committees, the nature of which will be best shown by a list of their names. They are as follows: Religious meetings, Music, Bible study, Missionary, Finance, Look-out, Membership, Social and Inter-Collegiate Relations.
The regular religious meeting is held each Wednesday at five o'clock. The program is varied, sometimes being chiefly musical with special numbers furnished by members of the music school. At other times, the forty-five minutes is devoted to a prayer-meeting or to an address from some outside speaker. The interest taken in these meetings since the opening of the year has been especially marked.
Two Bible classes conducted by Mrs. Roxana Beecher Preuszner and Miss Josephine March are interesting a large number of girls. They are held on Friday at five o'clock. One, which meets in the main building, is taking up a study of the Gospel of John; the other, at the Y.W.C.A.House is making good progress in the book of Acts.
A strong interest and enthusiasm with earnest study are characteristic of both classes. Any young woman whether a member of the Association or not, is made welcome in them. Another smaller class meets at the homes of its members on Sunday afternoon.
The Y. W. C. A. House with Mrs. Hamilton as matron provides a delightful home for several young women. The association, by renting the parlors, brings the unusual advantages offered here, within the means of most University students, and it receives in return the use of these rooms for meetings and receptions. Beside the large reception to all young women
of the University, given at the opening of the term, an informal monthly party is given to the members of the association and their friends. It is the aim of the society to bring about a more unselfish social life in the University, and it will consider this social life a success only when every girl feels that she has a part in it.
During the summer, and at the beginning of the year a thorough and organized work for new students was accomplished.
Assistance was given in securing boarding places, in finding employment, in arranging college work and in finding class-rooms, so that the first week was a little less hard for the girl away from home.
Something was done in interesting the girls, in their various churches, and lists of girls names have been handed to the pastors showing membership or preference and Lawrence addresses. The aims of the association are those of the church, and its members desire to work for the interests of the church.
Kansas University was recently represented at the Y. W. C.A.State Convention at Manhattan by an enthusiastic delegation of eleven girls, the largest number sent from any college in the state.
Though much is already being accomplished a far greater work can be done, and to this end we ask for the hearty interest and sympathy of all students and professors of the University. A Member.

The Funeral Services of Bert Serf.
One of the saddest sights to witness is a college funeral, and Sunday afternoon's services seemed doubly impressive, because of the manner in which death came.
The services were held in the parlors of the Eldridge house in the presence of the foot ball players of both schools and the faculty of the University. Rev.Banker opened with a reading from Ecclesiastes. The chapel choir then sang "Remember Now Thy Creator," after which the Rev.Banker spoke as follows:
"In the midst of life we are in death." This truth receives today a striking illustration. Yesterday our young brother was full of vigorous vitality; now he is cold and still before us. Such is death, and how sad it is. Many deaths are less sad. To those who have borne the burden and heat of life's day until tired and worn out, the gathering shadows of life's evening speak of rest. To these, death is not a catastrophe, but a "falling on sleep" for a night of rest. Not so when youth dies. Then there is almost no consideration to mitigate our sorrow. The world has all too few young men clean of limb and sound of spirit, to infuse into life the energy of righteousness; and we scarcely see how we can spare any. When they go only sorrow is left. In this case there is the added element of horror coming out of the fact that he died by an accident, and that right before our eyes. It has profoundly shocked all of us. Strangers, as we are, to you young brethren of Doane college, our hearts go out to you in sympathy. You are here among strangers with your dead, and under circumstances which are almost heart-breaking. But deeper and more profound than those we can think, must be the suffering of that unknown circle of those who loved him, at the head of which stand his father and mother. May the "God of all comfort, who comforteth us in all our tribulation," sustain them in their awful sorrow.
"Your suffering, my young brothers (members of the foot ball teams) is increased by the fact that the accident which cost a life, was one
growing out of your sport-yours and ours—for we on the side lines are partakers with you. Had it occurred in the course of daily duty, about some ordinary work, we would feel differently about it. But it occurred in a game of foot ball, and though, as all know, wholly accidental, we shudder at it. Yet to my mind it is a fair question if these sports be not part of the real college life. At least they have for a long time been so regarded by most people. The purpose of education is manhood and muscular strength; nervous energy and physical courage are essential parts of complete manhood; and as yet we have found no way of creating and developing them, save by sports in which there is an element of danger. Such has, thus far, been, I take it, the accepted doctrine, and you have only gone in the lines drawn by wise men. You have no cause to blame yourselves. In God's providence the young brother went in this pitiful way and we are profoundly shocked by it. Let us remember that God orders life, work, and play, and rest, and that having used our best wisdom and made our best effort to do the right thing, we are to trust the results to Him.
"And now I commend you to God and the word of His grace. We must all confront Him soon. Perhaps we shall not go so suddenly, but we shall go. He only can prepare us to go—through His dear Son. God grant that your lives now and forever may be entrusted to His keeping, and that He may deal very gently with the broken hearted parents, who, instead of their son, will see only clay. Amen."
When the services were concluded the body was taken from the parlors to the hearse in waiting, Hamill, Foster, Sanderson, Mosse, Fitzpatrick and Whitney, acting as pall bearers. The hearse was followed to the station by 300 students, anxious to show their sympathy and sorrow. The body was accompanied to Hastings, Neb., by Prof. Green, president of the Athletic Association, A. A. Ewart, and Will Reed.

Library Notes.
The Library has received a box of very interesting books bought by Prof. Dunlap while in London.
Among these is a volume without which the Shakespeariana has been incomplete. It is a fac-simile copy of the famous first folio (1623) edition of Shakespeare's dramatic works. We have the Booth reprint, but this is an exact reproduction of the first collected edition of Shakespeare's plays. The plays had previously appeared in separate quarto volumes. A set of these first quartos, in fac-simile, was placed in the Library last year. The Droeshout engraving on the title-page of the 1623 edition is thought to be one of the most authentic likenesses of the poet. It is eulogized by Ben Johnson, in the stanza on the opposite page, as being very true to life. This is a very fine copy, being handsomely bound in full calf.
Another book of like nature is Paradise Lost, as originally published; being a fac-simile reproduction of the first edition, with an introduction by David Masson, the biographer of Milton.
Our Shelley bibliography is now practically complete. This last lot of books adds three new lives of that poet: Shelley's Early Life, from original sources, with curious incidents, letters, and writings now published or collected, by Denis Florence MacCarthy; Shelley and his Writings, by Charles S. Middleton, two volumes; The Life of Percy Bysshe Shelley, by Thomas Jefferson Hogg. The last named work is particularly interesting because the author was a school-mate and friend of Shelley.
School of Fine Arts.
One of the rarest works in this purchase is The Complete Works in Verse and Prose of Edmund Spenser, edited, with a new life, based on original researches, and a glossary embracing notes and illustrations, by the Rev. Alexander B. Grosart, in association with many eminent Spenserian scholars, ten volumes. This is a large paper copy, finely printed on Dutch handmade paper. It is for private circulation, only one hundred copies being printed; hence we are very fortunate to get it. The tenth volume is not yet completed.
Miss Wiedemann has been invited to play for the Adelphic.
Miss Alice Spaulding, who is ill with the scarlet fever, is much better.
Miss Ehrsam has returned from her visit home, saddened by the death of her brother. We extend our sympathy to her.
The first entertainment on the lecture course was given Wednesday evening. There was a very good attendance and the audience was an appreciative one. The singing of Miss Abbie Rose Wood was especially to be commended.

Science Notes.
Prof. L. L. Dyche returned to Lawrence last Thursday after a successful trip into the wilds of Alaska. His account of the journey is interesting and thrilling. During his former trips to the North he learned from hunters of the presence of white mountain sheep in Alaska. Since then he has been desirous of securing some of them, as the animals are rare, no specimens of which are seen in any museum in the world. It was not till last Spring that Prof. Dyche was able to leave. He left Lawrence on June the 2nd for Puget Sound, where he spent two weeks in collecting invertebrates for the use of his classes in Zoology. From there he went by sea to Juneau where he had a splendid opportunity to visit Treadwell's mine, the largest gold mine in the world, and to study the Muir glacier, the most remarkable glacial formation of this age. At Sitka he was delayed because of the late arrival of his ship. He spent his time there in the study of the Indians, in visiting the remains of the Russian fortifications and in taking views of various objects of interest. From there he sailed for Cook's Inlet on board the steamer "Dora." Fortunately the sky was clear, enabling him to get a splendid view of Mt. St. Elias and the adjacent mountains. When he arrived at Tyoonic he spent several days in making preparations and in enquiring of the whereabouts of the sheep. Having made satisfactory arrangements he commenced in company with three Indians to ascend the Knick river. The trip was difficult and perilous, and progress was slow. The water was so swift that often the oars had to be abandoned and the Indians compelled to drag the boat, making their way through icy water and treacherous sands. On August the 2nd he reached the source of the river, a place which had never before been reached by a white man. The country, here, was covered with almost impenetrable thickets and dense underbrush, which were infested with with swarms of mosquitoes that made life unbearable. Notwithstanding these obstacles he pushed forward, drawn on by the desire of securing the coveted prizes. Several flocks appeared in the distance but it was
impossible to get any of them. On Aug. 26th, he fixed his camp just above the timber line of the highest mountain. At this point sheep were frequently seen but they were on such precipitous and unattainable heights that it was folly to try to get any of them. One day while sweeping the country with his field glass he spied a group on a ledge of rock, not very far distant. By stealthful movements he was able to get in shooting distance and succeeded in getting a large number of magnificent specimens. The Professor was satisfied and hastily preparing the skins he hurried homeward.
During his trip Prof. Dyche secured seventeen skins of white mountain sheep, seven otters, two hundred and fifty birds,a large number of small mammals, several seals, two grizzly bears,a large number of Indian relics and over two hundred and fifty photos. The professor is to be congratulated on his latest success.
Wonders of the Yosemite.
Chancellor Snow's lecture for the benefit of the Y. W. C. A. will be given on Saturday night, December 5, in Music hall. His subject will be "Wonders of the Yosemite." This lecture is the outcome of last summer's vacation, spent in company with Prof. Franklin and Prof. V. L. Kellogg and with a large party of other Leland Stanford professors, among the grandest mountain scenes of California.
The lecture will be illustrated by views, which, on account of the clearness and beauty of the photographs and the grandeur of the scenery portrayed, have never been surpassed in Lawrence.
An admission fee of 25 cents will be charged.

ATHLETICS
Recent foot ball scores: Missouri 42, Wentworth o; Michigan 10, Oberlin o; Northwestern 6, University of Chicago 18; Yale 16, New Jersey A. A. o; Harvard 6, Boston A.A. 8; St. Joseph 4, Haskell o; Kansas 16, Doane 4.
The game with Wentworth is the last game the Missouri Tigers play before they meet Kansas on Thanksgiving day. The score of 42 to shows that they will present a strong front. Every player should be out for regular practice each night until that time.
'Varsity vs. Doane.
November 14 will always be remembered as a "black Saturday" in Kansas foot ball history, on account of the sad accident which happened in the last half minute of the game with Doane College.
It was an ideal foot ball day, and a good sized crowd was out to witness what proved to be the most evenly matched contest played on McCook field during the present season.
Kansas played six substitutes: Williams, Sherman and Jones, in the line, and Burney, Crooks and Hess, back of the line. Doane won the toss. Mosse kicked off 45 yards for Kansas, and the game was on. Bowlby regained 10 yards. Hooper, Bowlby and Swain made small gains, and the ball went to Kansas on the fourth down. By steady line bucking the ball was carried to Doane's 10 yard line, where it was lost on a fumble.
Doane punted for 35 yards, again Kansas brought the ball to Doane's 10 yard line, but was stopped for four downs. Houston went around the left end for 20 yards before he was downed by Crooks. Walker got the ball on a fumble in the next play. Kansas carried the
pigskin to the 3 yard line. Again Doane took the ball on the fourth down, within three feet of her goal line. Abbot took the ball, but was forced back over the line counting a safety for Doane, scoring two points for Kansas but giving the ball to Doane on her 25 yard line. Kansas soon secured the ball and Kennedy, by a fake quarter back play, carried it over for the first touchdown. Walker failed on the goal and the score was 6 to o.
Doane kicked off for 35 yards, and got the ball on an unlucky punt on the Kansas 5 yard line. Lee was sent through the line for a touchdown, but failed to kick goal and the score stood 6 to4, until time was called for the first half.
In the second half Baine and Speaks went in as backs.
After the kick off the ball was worked back and forth in Doane's territory until Baine carried it over for a touchdown. Walker failed to kick goal.
With one minute to play Speaks was given the ball; clearing the left end he went down the field for 38 yards before he was tackled, within one foot of the goal line, by Serf.
It was this play that proved fatal to Serf. It was apparently an ordinary tackle and fall, and not as was incorrectly stated by certain newspapers, a scrimmage under which Serf was lying. Serf was rendered unconcious, but as he had been injured in a previous play it was thought to be not so serious as it proved to be later. Two physicians were in attendance, and it was found that he had received concussion of the brain. He was taken at once to the Eldridge house, where everything was done for him that was possible, but medical assistance proved to be of no avail and he died at 11:20.
Although the seriousness of the injury was not generally known by the crowd, yet it was apparent that his removal from the field was sufficient cause to dampen the feeling of victory, and as they filed silently away with apprehensive faces not a single "Rock Chalk" could be heard.
The final score, almost forgotten in the sad

ending, stood 16 to 4 in favor of Kansas.
For the visitors Captain Lee may be said to have been the star player, while Swain, Hooper, Bowlby and Houston played splendid ball.
The playing of the substitutes on the Kansas team was a surprise. Especial credit should be given to Jones, Baine, Kennedy and Speaks.
The playing of the team was good natured throughout and not the slightest ill feeling was manifested. The officials were: Umpire., Mr. Groves of Crete, Neb.; referee, Archie Hogg; linesmen, Nat Taylor and Barr.

WELL, MISSOURI, the Thanksgiving game is over and, perhaps, remarks are now in order; but we will refrain. We feel that nothing can be added to what has already been said and done, so we will be content with wishing you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
THE PROMOTERS of the pipe organ fair deserve the sympathy and assistance of every
member of the University. The need of a pipe organ in chapel has been keenly felt for many years, and everyone will rejoice now that the organ is about to develop from a possibility, a dream, into a grand reality. Let us all aid in making the fair a success.
As a good American citizen and a loyal resident of Kansas, the WEEKLY has not forgotten to woo a thankful spirit at this prescribed season of thanksgiving. It has not forgotten to be thankful that its lot has been cast among friends who are full of kindness and longsuffering; that it has not been visited by a prosperity greater than it could bear, and that the powers of darkness are still rampant and provoke the faithful to yet fiercer combats; these in addition to many other more ordinary things.
The following definition of a liberal education by Thomas Huxley, is worth reading.
That man has a liberal education who has been so trained in youth that his body is the ready servant of his will, and does with ease and pleasure all the work, that as a mechanism, it is capable of; whose intellect is a clear, cold logic engine, with all its parts of equal strength and in smooth working order, and ready, like a steam engine, to be turned to any kind of work and spin the gossamers as well as forge the anchors of the mind; whose mind is stored with a knowledge of the great and fundamental truths of Nature and of the laws of her operations; one who, no stunted ascetic, is full of life and fire, but whose passions are trained to come to halt by a vigorous will; the servant of a tender conscience, who has learned to love all beauty, whether of Nature or of Art, to hate all vileness and respect all others as himself. Such a one and no other has had a liberal education.

Kansas University Weekly.
SEVERAL MEMBERS of the University are talking of organizing a country club, the purpose of which is to encourage students, and members of the faculty as well, to get out into the country once in a while and forget about the routine of their more or less monotonous lives. It is, perhaps, not the best season of the year for undertaking anything of this kind, and yet there are many fine days in winter, and there is plenty of cold, bracing air to stimulate one, and to make walking, or riding a pleasure. There are probably many students who will be interested in the club, there is certainly a large number who ought to become interested in some form of exercise and follow it regularly for health's sake.
A GREAT improvement is being made in the appearance of that portion of the campus lying in the ravine north of Snow Hall. Heretofore the weeds and underbrush have held undisputed control of the place, and no one but an enthusiastic botanist or entomologist or some youthful would-be Stanley has ever dared to penetrate this miniature wilderness. Now, however, the brush and weeds are rapidly disappearing; the lower branches of the trees are being trimmed off; a little later in the winter blue-grass seed will be sown, and it requires only a moderate exercise of the imagination to picture here as pretty a little park as could be desired. This is exactly what University students have all been wishing for these many years; somewhere to go for a short walk between classes; a place in which to eat open-air dinners in fine weather, and some grove in the vicinity of town in which to have picnic parties, etc. The park, of course, will not be complete without a band-stand, and the band-stand in turn will call for a University band, so that on the balmy spring and autumn evenings of the future we may expect to hear sweet music and the sound of happy voices proceeding from the place where before could be heard only the croaking of tree toads and the singing of the locusts.
VERILY IT may be said of us also, that we have ears but hear not. The first number on the Lecture Bureau course, while greeted by a large audience, was not attended by a just proportion of University students. That a course of entertainments of this sort, arranged for, and controlled entirely by members of the University and offered at a remarkably low price, should not be taken advantage of by the ones for whose especial benefit it is intended, shows a lack of appreciation which cannot but excite wonder.
The remainder of the course is well worth the price of a season ticket, and will, it is to be hoped, receive better support from the students than was indicated by the attendance at the Salisbury concert.
ONE OF the most deplorable features of foot ball games—and some other games as well—is the intensely partisan spirit and unreasoned excitement which is aroused in the minds of the spectators. It is getting to be a common occurrence for a crowd to invade the field at critical points in the game and take an active part in any dispute which may have arisen between players. The spirit which prevails among the supporters of foot ball seems to have become almost entirely what has been defined as a professional one, a blind, unrestrained passion for victory at whatever cost. This fact is illustrated by the almost total lack of enthusiasm for a losing team, no matter how well it plays. The game is only partly to blame for this. The trouble lies in the false idea which college students and others seem to have of college sports; the idea that the end of an athletic team's existence is to make every other similar team bow the knee in defeat. If this is all or even the most to be gained; if the physical condition of the student body as a whole is not to be improved; if amusement or advertisement is the chief thing sought, then it may rightly be questioned whether there is longer any place for an athletic team in an institution of learning.

Review of "Callista."
John Henry Newman, the author of "Callista," was born in London 1861. His name is permanently associated with the "Oxford movement" in which he was perhaps the most powerful champion of Protestantism. But the investigation and research involved in this long controversy with Catholicsm resulted in his conversion to that faith, and in 1845 he abandoned his former position and identified himself with the Catholic church.
Ten years later 1855 "Callista" was published. It is an historical, purpose novel; being as the author himself says in the preface, "an attempt to imagine and express, from a Catholic point of view, the feelings and mutual relations of Christians and heathens at the period to which it belongs"—the third century. He also adds "it has been undertaken as the nearest approach which the author could make to a more important work suggested to him from a high ecclesiastical quarter." What that "more important" work was I have been unable to learn. But I have reason to believe that a purpose for which the novel was written, other than that expressed in the preface, was to offset the prejudice against monks and monasteries, and the consequent injury to Catholicism, created by "Hypatia," which was at that time, new, and widely read, and much discussed. However, I know of no writer or reviewer holding this opinion. It is simply an impression received while reading "Callista," and strengthened by a re-reading of "Hypatia." The facts seeming to confirm this opinion are these: both men were authors of prominence: both were earnest champions of their respective religions, the one a Protestant minister, the other a Catholic priest, and were forever at war with each other, as Newman admits in the preface to his "Apologia."
"Hypatia" appeared in 1853; and while favoring Christianity, it was a most bitter arraignment of monkish practices. Perhaps no one believed in the absolute perfection of all that was Catholic stronger than did Newman,
and this was a direct attack upon that which he held dearest. Two years after the publication of "Hypatia,""Callista," similar in the points of time, place, material, and general treatment made its appearance. And in it the author sheds a heavenly light upon the every action of a monk.
In view of all this; the wide circle of readers which Newman's name would insure, the certainty and readiness with which a book from his pen would be received, and knowing also, how dear to his heart were the tenets of Catholicism, we do not think that Newman could publish a book so like "Hypatia" and immediately following it, without meaning through it to correct the damaging charges made against Catholic institutions by his enemy.
Because of the ever present purpose in his writings and a lack of imaginative power, we may say that Newman's novels do not show him at his best. He has given us but little in fiction and in that little, his art as a writer is hampered by the too evident purpose with which he pursued it. A purpose whose fittest expression can never be found in fiction. An illustration is "Callista's" fate. The love affair between her and Agellius is not disposed of naturally. Her life is one of trouble. And it is painful to the reader to have one so beautiful, pure and intelligent: one who would voluntarily face death rather than utter a falsehood and obtain freedom; one who would say—New edition page 224—; "my own Gods are earthly sensual; I have no respect for them;" I repeat, it is painful to the reader to have such an one suffer the indignities, torture and death upon the rack, which the author gives to "Callista" as her portion. Yet she must be martyred that the cause may prosper; that the author's purpose may be attained. "Callista" was written not for Art's sake, but for Religion's.
In this story, it is only when the author touches his natural element,—some phase of his deep consciousness of his Creator,—that we get a glimpse of the true man. Then we read eagerly, willingly, wonderingly, what he has to say. This
230
Kansas University Weekly.
is well shown in "Callista's" reply to Polemo, pages 314,-15;—to my mind one of the finest portions of the book.
"Callista" is lacking in imagination.
It is also deficient in coherence. One fails to see the connection between the story, and how St. Fabian came to be selected as pope and was finally martyred—pages 70, and 71, or why a short account of the imprisonment of St. Paul, St. Silas and St. Fortuna page 363 et seq.—is necessary to the symmetry of the story.
And at page 73,—after speaking of the time that must elapse before the news of government proceedings at Rome could be communicated to her rural provinces,—the author suddenly reminds us that we are not reading a "Tale of the Third Century," by saying: "The case, indeed is different now. In these times, newspapers, railroads, and magnetic telegraphs make us independent of government messengers. The proceedings at Rome would have been generally and accurately known in a few seconds."
The descriptions of the devastations of the locust is rich and elaborate. So also is Cornelius' description of the Secular Games at Rome, page 42, et seq. And in this connection, the sarcastic interruptions of Aristo, the Greek, possesses a veiled keeness that is very relishing.
Arnobiu's satire of Polemo, the "bottomless man,"--Pg. 85 and 6-is very amusing.
The same delicate touch of a master's hand is shown wherever humor appears. It is not strong and sharp, but comes in a quiet way, as a delicate, pulsating under-current to the main thought.
The most prominent characteristic of his tyle is its extreme simplicity. The words used are few, direct, delicately chosen and exquisitely fitted to the thought. They seem to be a strong, clear lens to reveal the author's mind.
The tendency of the novel seems to be idealistic; especially in its portrayal of Christian characters.
Its influence is good.
It ranks well in the rare class to which it belongs. But the palpable moral lesson in a novel is apt to result much as did Darwin's attempt to teach botany by means of poetry. And "Callista" would have been a greater work could Newman have listened to his Art without his purpose for an interpreter.

REPORT OF THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
Under the direction of Prof. Haworth, four parties of three persons each, were engaged in geological field work in the western part of the state during the past summer. The members of these parties were nearly all University students, among them being Geo.I. Adams, W. N. Logan, W. R. Crane, A. Stewart, F. P. Daniels, J. N. Macomb, and B. L. Miller; others were Prof. Chas. S. Prosser of Union College, Schenectady, N. Y., J. W. Beede of Washburn College, C. N. Gould of Winfield, and Mr. Jennison of Shields. Full reports of the work will be published in Vol. II, of the University Geological Survey soon to be issued.
The work was largely confined to a study of the hydrographic conditions of the territory studied; the prime object being to determine, as far as possible, the possibility and practicability of irrigation by means of underground water, there being but little surface water in that portion of the state.
Kansas University Weekly.
235
As the different formations vary in the manner of the occurrence of the water, and also in the amount and kind of water contained, it became necessary to study the water conditions of each of the geological formations encountered. The water most frequently is found in sand or gravel, though often in porous stone, either limestone or sandstone, and occasionally in soil or clay. The quality and quantity of the water of the different formations varies greatly; in some the supply is abundant and the quality excellent, while in others the reverse occurs. One formation which underlies a considerable area is especially remarkable, as it seems to be very nearly devoid of water and even the little it does contain is of a very poor quality. Fortunately the former set of conditions predominate; the greater portion of the regions studied being underlaid by heavy water-bearing strata. By data carefully collected those areas have been definitely located in which the two sets of conditions prevail.
Again data concerning the depth at which this underground water may be reached were collected. A map of the state, in colors, will soon be prepared in which all this will be nicely shown.
As nearly all this information had to be obtained from well records, in certain thinly inhabited localities, the work was consequently somewhat unsatisfactory.
In general the results of the work clearly demonstrate the possibility of irrigation by underground water over the larger part of the area examined. The surface of the land and also the very fertile soil are very well adapted to irrigation. Nevertheless it is as yet an open question as to whether the profits are sufficient to justify the labor and money expended.
While hydrography was the most important part of the work it was not the only work.Much other geological work was done including a careful study of the limits of each geological formation, the physical properties of the different strata and such other problems as continually present themselves in field work in physical geology. Among these latter may be mentioned ar-
tesian wells, vaults, arrested drainage and sinks.
Altogether the work proved very profitable for all concerned, especially so to the members of the parties who were enabled to study geology to the best advantage and also to pass their summer's vacation in a delightful manner.

Prof. Franklin's review of the life and work of Hofmann, the famous chemist, was the most interesting thing which has been given before the Chemical Seminary this year. Hofmann was a student of Liebig, and undertook, as his first investigation, the study of coal-tar and especially aniline. It is interesting to note how this first investigation affected his whole life work, for he devoted almost all of his time and energies to the study of aniline and its products and the other substituted ammonias. We are indebted to his labors and those of his students for some of our most beautiful dyes.

Library Notes.
The books mentioned last week were only a part of Prof. Dunlap's London purchase. There are a number more, almost equally interesting which he "picked up" in that city.
Those interested in the development of the drama will be glad to know of a ten volume work, Some Account of the English Stage, from the Restoration in 1660 to 1830.
Students of English literature will find very useful Mr. Henry B. Wheatley's London Past and Present, its History, Associations, and Traditions; three volumes. These are filled with allusions to the great men and women who have been associated with that great city.
Two old looking volumes contain the Observations on the Fairy Queen of Spenser, by Thomas Warton, once poet laureate of England, and one of the earliest historians of English poetry. This was a "new edition" in 1807.
Lyrical Ballads, reprinted from the first edition of 1798, contains a number of the poems of Coleridge and Wordsworth as they first appeared, and much interesting matter in the preface concerning their origin.
A valuable work to the antiquarian scholar is a print of Bishop Percy's Folio MS. Ballads and Romances. It is a three volume limited edition, edited by John W. Hales and Frederick J. Furnivall, dedicated to the late Prof. Child of Harvard, who is credited with having instigated its publication and assisted in its production. The manuscript is that upon which Bishop Percy based his famous work, the Reliques of Ancient English Poetry.
The old dramatists are represented. There are The Dramatic Works and Poems of James Shirley, in six volumes; The Works of Sir George Etheredge, Plays and Poems, edited, with critical notes and introduction, by A. Wilson Verity; and The Comedies of William Congreve, two volumes.
There are two volumes from a very handsome edition of Old English Romances. One contains The Old English Baron, a Gothic story, by Clara Reeve, and The Castle of Otronto, a Gothic story, by Horace Walpole. The other, The History of the Caliph Vathek, by William Beckford, and Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia, by Samuel Johnson. These books are beautifully got up, printed on laid paper, with proof etchings on Whatman paper, edition limited to 150 copies.
The Bloomer Lark
"Here we are the Women new We are just the jolliest crew."
The Bloomer Lark is incomparable with any other entertainment ever given on Mt. Oread. It was strictly "out of sight."
At about seven o'clock last Saturday evening one hundred and fifty of Mrs. Clark's bloomer girls (Prof. James Merys says the most orderly crowd that has yet assembled) gathered in Library Hall for a jollification. A powerful looking policeman stood at the door and admitted only those whom he deemed worthy.
Library Hall never looked better than on this eventful evening. Little tables covered with the dainty though unelaborate refreshments occupied one corner of the room while another was reserved for the prizes to be awarded later in the evening. The walls were hung with artistic pen sketches and mottos that thrilled the hearts of all who gazed thereon.
Suddenly the orchestra struck up and the grand march began. Then was the time to behold the marvelous beauty and artistic originality of the costumes.
Among the most striking were those of Robin Hood, Buffalo Bill, Little Lord Fauntleroy, Peter Flibertygibit, Sir William Wallace, Miss Sallie Stickinthemud, the bicycle boy and the typical man of the century.
After the grand march some friends from the country rendered most gracefully the waltz quadrille. Suddenly steps were heard from without A hush fell upon the crowd and lo! the far famed'Varsity foot ball team—or rather girls who had assumed the sweaters of the team—appeared led by the majestic Coach Cowan (?). The Rock! Chalk! that welcomed them burst from the windows and fairly shook the roof. In the scrimmage that followed Sanderson (?) was the star player and called forth volleys of applause.

During the last part of the evening Mr. Hester's (?) acrobatic feats were of particular interest. The last two-step was danced by the light which radiated from the person of Mr. Walker (?).
Just before the guests departed all joined in singing a song the words of which were composed by Prof. Penny for the occasion.
$20.45 was raised by this Lark "for the Pipe Organ Fund" and the question that now presents itself is "what will the boys do to increase the fund?"
E. E. Waltmire a former student of the University was on the hill Wednesday. He had been at home ill for several months but managed to get well in time for the Thanksgiving game.
The sad news of the death of Mrs. Dockum, mother of Harry Dockum a member of the Junior Pharmacy class, was received last week. At a meeting of the Pharmaceutical society last week it was voted that a letter of condolence be sent him and a committee was appointed for that purpose.
M. R. Smith, Pharmacy,'98, met with a painful accident in Kansas City Thursday night. He was standing on a crowded Ninth street car when a car coming from an opposite direction struck him, knocking him from the car and severely crushing his right arm. He was taken to the city hospital where he received the best medical treatment possible. It is thought that amputation will be necessary.
Thursday evening the Chancellor gave an informal reception to a number of those students who were fortunate enough to have remained in Lawrence for the Thanksgiving recess. The parlors were comfortably filled and a delightful time is reported. Dr. Wilcox also entertained a number of students who remained in Lawrence at his home Friday evening. A vote of thanks should certainly be given the Chancellor and Dr. Wilcox for their kind remembrance of the students who were compelled to spend Thanksgiving away from home and in a "far country."

ATHLETICS
Mr. Mudd the umpire seemed in evidence everywhere.
Who was it said Kansas would never beat Missouri again?
The work of the Kansas team would seem to indicate that it pays to keep still and just saw wood.
Missouri started out to win the pennant and in three league games managed to pile up four points.
Perhaps Hester is receiving more than his share of praise. It may be Tucker would have kicked goal also if the opportunity had been presented.
The 'Varsity Defeat the Tigers.
The great Thanksgiving game of '96 is over. We have met the enemy and they are ours. Once again the colors of M. S. U. have been trailed in the dust or rather in the mud by our victorious eleven in the presence of thousands of enthusiastic Kansas and Missouri supporters.
The much-looked-forward-to Thanksgiving morning opened most inauspiciously. The rain which had been falling all the night previous still came in torrents. Later in the morning a few rays of sun-light penetrated the shifting clouds only to be interrupted again by succeeding showers. The rain ceased to fall about noon however and the wind shifting to the north precluded the possibility of any more rain.
At half past two Exposition park never presented a more animated or brilliant appearance. Society was out in all its various forms; the drags and carriages adding much to the brilliancy of the occasion. While the ground was still soaked by the rain, the field was not very muddy owing to the fact that it was almost entirely sodded.
Shortly after the time set, the teams made their appearance, each one being greeted enthusiastically. After a short preliminary practice the teams lined up.
Captain Shawhan of Missouri won the toss and took the north goal, with wind slighly against Kansas. A detailed account of the game as played will not be given here owing to lack of space but the various plays in general will be briefly mentioned. In just eight minutes from the beginning of the play Kansas scored her first touch down. This was made by Hester after repeated gains around Missouri's ends and tackles. Hester kicked goal. The second touch-down must also be credited to Hester as, assisted by Hamill, he went through left tackle for a 45 yard run to a touchdown. Hester again kicked goal and the Kansas contingent went wild. Shortly after this Whitney was compelled to retire and Crooks was substituted. At this point in the game the Missourians seemed to gather strength and rally and it seemed as though they were going to score. Kansas finally secured the ball on downs and Missouri's only chance of scoring was lost. The first half ended with the score 12 to 0 in favor of Kansas.
In the second half Missouri kicked off twice out of bounds and the ball went to Kansas. Kansas kicked off fifty yards and Jones who was substituted in Swearingen's place brought it back twenty yards. Missouri punted the ball twentyfive yards and then the ball went to Kansas. Repeated advances were made by Voights, Hes Sanderson and Baine. Conley of Missouri was retired and Corrigan took his place; then Hester, Voigts and Baine in turn went through the line for a touch down. Hester again kicked goal. Two more touch downs for Kansas made by bucking the line and the final score stood 30 to o in favor of Kansas. The game ended as darkness began to settle on the land.
Especial credit should be given Hamill on the Kansas side. He was present in all the plays and nothing escaped him; Baine, Hester, Voights played their usual good game. For Missouri, Blanton did especially fine work as right end.

His tackles were always sure and gains were seldom made thro' right end.
The game was a clean one throughout although the players did not present a very clean appearance. Kansas University is to be congratulated on its team and although the pennant may not come to us this year we have the consciousness of the fact that our 'Varsity has outplayed and out skilled every league team she has met.
About 300 University students attended the game. ___
The result of Thursday's games are as follows:

F. H. Funston in Cuba.
The following extracts from a letter of Fred Funston to a University friend may be of general interest. He writes from Cuba:
I have had some very hot experiences in the ten days just past which I shall tell you about; first I got my command as captain of artillery in the army of Maximo Gomez and we did a lot of aimless marching about the country finally bringing up on the 21st of September before the town of Coscono, defended by three Spanish forts. The infantry and cavalry of the force surrounded the town and cut off all communication with the outside. During the night we built a sort of fortification of mahogany rails about 600 yards from the White Fort and installed therein a twelve pound Hotchkiss breech-loading rifle. I had with me only a part of my battery and a detachment of ten men, half of whom were Americans. The Spaniards did not know of our presence until, just at daybreak, our Old
Ephraim gave a roar and sent a shell crashing ing into the fort. Pretty soon every Spaniard opened on our position and the air was alive with bullets that buzzed like bumble bees gone mad. They rattled on the outside of the barricade and many came through. Most of them shot high however and the trees over our heads were shot up badly. But we gave them as good as they sent and shell after shell tore through the walls of the fort bringing down tons of rock and cement. I did the gunning of our cannon and every time I stepped before the gap it seemed that every one in the fort shot at me. One bullet split open the sole of my left shoe, and half an hour later one of my men who had been opening a box of shells handed me the screw driver and as he did so, fell dead, shot through the heart.
From this position we took up another one exactly opposite but perhaps 1500 yards from the town. This position we held four days. On the fifth day the infantry having advanced close to the fort, we ran Old Ephraim within 300 yards of it but as the artillery ammunition was exhausted we were compelled to retire and were sent to a plantation to remain until more could be brought from the depot in another part of the island. It is from this plantation that I write.
