INTER-FRATERNITY baseball seems to have excited a deal of interest in baseball generally.
THE SENIORS have gotten to that stage in college work where little can be expected of them
in the way of down-right text-book work. They feel that, as far as studying goes, from now on they are entitled to special immunity.
THE EASTER number of The College Life is a fine literary and artistic product. It speaks well for the College of Emporia and for the town as well. Some day we shall be able to publish cuts and issue souvenir numbers of the Weekly,—but not until Lawrence merchants undergo personal regeneration.
THE STUDENTS of Iowa College, at a special mass meeting held early in April, voted to adopt the honor system of examinations. It promises to be quite practicable, inasmuch as it contains stringent primitive measures. In this system there will be a court of eleven members elected from different classes of the college. A person suspected of cheating is to be brought before this court. There must be two witnesses. He is then given a formal trial, and if found guilty he will probably be suspended. Each trial will be conducted secretly and only those immediately interested in the case shall be present. If a person is acquitted, of course absolute silence shall be maintained. The measure was passed by a good round majority. Let us consider the adoption of the "honor system,"—whether or not it is feasible and expedient.
It is an almost impossible feat to measure successfully the amount of influence which college papers may wield. There are so many interpretations of the question, that all answers must appear dogmatic in the extreme. But, in order that the papers may have any influence upon the college at large, there is one primary requisite—hearty co-operation and generous support. This seems too apparent to be denied. Granting, then, this support and co-operation,
230
Kansas University Weekly.
the influence of papers upon the college may be immeasureably great.
Unfortunately, here, this requisite is practically lacking. We do not pretend to discover the reason for such a state of affairs, which can be excused only upon one ground—the failure of the papers themselves in their purpose. But it is open to dispute whether either a half-hearted interest, or a cold disdain, is the proper method of cure. The papers may be of mediocre merit, but they can never be improved, and their influence can never be felt, until they become recognized by the college for what they are.
To the average man, then, the college paper seems of little worth. He is conscious of its existence, and sometimes, from a sense of duty, he is prevailed upon to subscribe; but here, for the most part, his interest ceases. His tongue is ever ready to find fault, to criticise, even to sneer; but rarely is he kind enough to praise.
Possibly this is merely an artificial position, and at heart there may be a sane realization of the truth of the matter. But this attitude, general as it is, be it real or assumed, certainly kills all influence which the college papers might possess outside a very small circle of active supporters.
To these, the editors and contributors, the papers are of inestimable value. It is an education, in a little way, to be connected with a college paper. Many journalists owe much of their success to the work that they did in college, and many authors have begun to master their art while they were yet undergraduates. But it is a serious misfortune that this influence, great as it is, should be confined within so small a space, with so little opportunity, as there is at present, for it to be spread abroad. The error exists, however, and the remedy most surely lies in the hands of those who now gain the least. - Ex.

Greater Love Hath No Man Than This.
I was always a strange child; perhaps it was because I was lame, perhaps it was because I was born with an old head upon young shoulders, perhaps it was because the men that came to Big Jim's saloon were so rough that they terrified me into stupidity. I do not know.
Big Jim was my father; my mother was a mere memory to me, almost a dream; but even yet my heart leaps with longing and love as I think of that dark winter's day when last she pressed me to her bosom, and begged father, with the saddest of eyes, to be good to me.
Then we came out here to Arizona; and father did try to be good, but it is so hard in such a wild place. I know he tried, for he used to take me upon his knees at night, and together we would sit before the fire and talk of our sweet memory. But a change took place, father got to staying out late at night,
and when he came home he looked so wild and strange that I was frightened. I could not understand. One night he did not come at all, and I lay in my little bed, sobbing and praying until day break, then I hobbled down the street with anxious, beating heart, fearing and yet hoping. There, in a ditch I found him with red, bloated face, and bleary bloodshot eyes. Then I knew. I think it was at that time, that I became so strange. I could not cry or sob, for a dull, stupefying numbness came over me, and my tongue cleaved to the roof of my mouth, and my heart seemed frozen with pain.
After that, father seemed better of his terrible disease, and he stayed at home with me, sometimes talking about my beautiful mother, and sometimes gazing at me in sad silence. Once I saw him bury his face in his hands, and great, despairing sobs shook his form. My little heart swelled with sympathy-for a man's sob is the saddest sound on earth-and I slipped my arm

231
around his neck, and kissed his damp, cold forehead. We were so happy that night; I think it was the happiest time of my whole life.
Before long, father went into business, a business that I knew nothing about. The miners and the cowboys came from miles around to father's store, and then there were sounds of revelry that often lasted all night long. In my little back room, I could hear the clink of glasses, and the loud rough oaths of the men. Sometimes two or three pistol shots would ring out sharp and clear, but as father never said anything about it to me, I supposed that the men were shooting at marks—that they were human marks I did not know until later.
When winter came on, I used to go into that big, strange room, to keep warm. The men payed some attention to me at first, but when they found that I would only answer them in monosyllables, that I would not swear or say the wicked things they commanded me to, that I would shrink from them when they came near me, then they flung lemon and orange peel at me and called me "Surly Brat!"
My father tried to get me to stay in my little north room, but it was so cold in there, and I could not lie in bed all the time and all those terrible noises going on about me. Besides the darkness was so terrifying, for I could always see against the impenetrable blackness my mother's blue eyes gazing so mournfully at the bloated form of my father as he lay in the ditch that morning. I could not stand it.
One cold night, I stayed in that big room, crouching behind the stove, until almost midnight. The sounds of revelry grew louder and louder, the fun faster and more furious, and the men seemed fairly wild with hilarity, suddenly, there was a lull, everyone seemed waiting for some new sport.
A cowboy, Merry Mike, arose and staggering across the room, filled a glass with foaming liquor.
Merry Mike's eyes flashed with scorn and anger. "Come here, you blathering idiot, and drink this!"
"Come here, you brat!" he shouted. Every eye was turned upon me. I cowered down in my corner.
I shrank back in mortal terror. "Please don't! Oh, please! Please don't!" I pleaded.
"Take that, then!" cried the infuriated man with an oath, and he flung the glass straight at my head. I felt a sharp pain in my temple, but I did not care for that; I only felt sorry for my father whose poor weak son I was. My head swam, and a great, engulfing darkness was settling round me. "My poor, poor father, how mortified he must be—how mortified—" but the darkness had enveloped me.
I awoke in my little couch, to find my father beside me. There was a great, red spot just above his heart, and his face was white and drawn. His eyes were fixed upon the faded picture of the woman who was his wife and my mother.
"Father," I heard him murmur, "I have sinned against Heaven, and in Thy sight, and am not worthy—" and then, the voice grew fainter and fainter "the Father loveth the Son—loveth the Son—loveth the Son—"

Saved from the Blizzard.
Pete Smith insisted that he was perfectly sober when he started from the Cross-roads Farm on the afternoon of the blizzard. The horse he had hoped to borrow was too lame to use, so if he kept his appointment to meet Bill Johnson at Hardin's grocery he must walk the six miles. The air was chill and cutting and the sky looked threatening when he left the farm. Pete foresaw the snow-storm but he was a good walker and thought he could reach his destination before the storm could seriously interfere with his progress. But he had not gone more than half a mile before big flakes began to dance through the air and by the time he had made half of his journey he was in the midst of the first and the worst blizzard that passed over the Middle States that year.

He struggled bravely on, keeping the road fairly well, though by instinct rather than by sight, for the snow was almost blinding. When he came to the last turn, the wind almost took him off his feet. His courage was shrinking, his whole body was numb with cold and his face felt raw with the cutting of the sharp wind. The nearest farm-house was now almost as far away as Hardin's—he must try to go on. If he went through the field he could shorten his way by more than a mile. There was, perhaps, less danger of straying in the wrong direction if he kept the road, but he did not think he could loose himself in any of these farms, so half climbing and half tumbling over the rail-fence, he took the path through the field.
The storm seemed to be gaining in fury. Pete stumbled on, struggling valiantly with the wind but conscious that his strength was leaving him. He thought he must have traversed half of the field and was beginning to congratulate himself that he was to be victor of the elements when he stumbled and almost fell over a snow-covered heap lying among the stubble. His foot caught in something that looked, when he drew it out of the snow in trying to release his foot, like a badly torn coat. He stooped down and, brushing away the snow as well as he could, discerned with his more than half blinded eyes, a coat sleeve, which even the touch of his numb and stiffened fingers told him was not empty. A man, or a boy, overcome by the storm and perishing there in the snow! Perhaps he was already dead! But there might be life in the helpless form aud if there was every moment was precious. Some such thoughts went through Pete's head as fast as the wind rushed around him. Could he leave the unfortunate traveler there in the snow? Such a burden would considerably lessen his own chances for safety, for though the remaining distance was, probably, not very great, a blizzard is a mighty enemy and his strength was almost gone. "No, I can't," he muttered, "It might 'a been me as well as 'tother chap. I'll make a stagger at doin' as I'd be done by." So he took the heap up in his arms and literally staggered on. His burden
seemed a little less heavy than he had expected but nevertheless it was a dangerous handicap. Twice he fell, but he struggled blindly on, only hoping that he would find his way out of the field. In one thing the wind proved his benefactor, he finally came to the corner of the field where a part of the rail-fence had been blown down. He stumbled across the road, holding bravely to the insensible figure he had rescued, until it slipped from his arms as he fell through the doorway of Hardin's store.
When Pete opened his eyes he found himself lying on one of the long benches in the back of the store, and Bill Johnson holding a glass of hot brandy to his lips. The men at the stove looked at him anxiously. "Is he alive?" was Pete's first question. A half suppressed titter went round the group. Bill pointed at a bench a few feet away. Pete followed the gesture with his eyes, then he sat up and stared in mute astonishment. Was that the thing with which he had toiled through wind and snow and for which he had actually risked his life? "Well, Pete," said Bill consolingly "we know ye meant to do a good act. You'd a known as soon as ye took it up, if that pesky wooden frame hadn't made the thing weigh a ton. Anyway," he grinned, "ole Farmer Brown'll thank ye. He's always a boasting that that 'ere's the finest scarecrow there's been in the township in more'n twenty years." M.B.F.

It was one warm spring Saturday morning and the Professor was spading up the garden which edged the porch. Upstairs Mrs. Professor, seized with the fever of spring cleaning was rummaging through the attic and there was noise and bustle and clatter through the house.
Outside with the Professor was the rustle and movement of nature's spring cleaning. Little spurts of fresh green grass were springing up through the dried clumps of last year's growth. From the brown trees in the valley came the soft call of the dove borne on a chorus of bird-twit terings. The Professor noticed how the bud

were swelling on a lilac bush near him, and, "It is a very early spring," he said.
It was the earliest spring they had known for a long time. He couldn't remember one since that of forty-five years back which had come so soon.
Forty-five years back. The Professor sat down on the steps and leaning his head on his slender hands looked out over the valley and the stretch of hills that bounded the horizon with a vague, unusual restlessness in his wise, kindly, tolerant eyes. He was not feeling well that morning. He decided that he had been up too late over the class papers last night, for somehow, he was very tired. He refused to admit to himself that the thought of that forty-five-years-ago spring had anything to do with the sudden weariness which overcame him. It must have been the papers. Most of them had been unusually stupid. He must try to incite the students to more individual research. Then, having proved his point to himself his thoughts drifted back to that spring so many years ago.
He was a college boy then, a shy, slender, little fellow with furtive blue eyes that were always hiding behind their thick yellow lashes, a sensitive mouth and fine graceful hands which were always white and well-tended. He had entered college very young and he graduated at an exceedingly early age without making any stir one way or another in the life of the institution, without even coming to the surface. Reserved and quiet as he was he made very few friends. He knew almost no girls and he was not at all acquainted with the one to whom he had silently given his homage.
A poor, meagre little story it was, but this morning with the thrill of spring in the air brought it all back. She left college in the spring of his sophomore year,—to be married, so they said,—and that was all. What had become of her, whether she had married or not, whether she lived or died, he never knew. Only—she was his first love, and all of that pure adoration and reverence which can be given but once, all of the chivalric devotion of a boy's heart he had lain at her feet, unknown, unre-
warded, he had offered up like incense before a saint to this proud little maiden with the erect carriage of the head and the tender pure line in the curve of her lips.
He had a Botticelli angel in his study now that he kept because it had that same curve of the mouth.
Forty years ago this spring! The day before she left she had come upon some errand into the room where he was talking with one of the tutors. With the gentle, formal courtesy that even then was characteristic of him he had stepped back to give his place to her, but, catching his foot, stumbled and knocked down several books from the desk. As he glanced at her quickly he had caught a faint smile on her face. He knew now that she probably had never given it a second thought, but he suffered weeks of shame from that display of awkwardness.
It was just this kind of a day when she left the town. He happened to be at the station when the train moved off amidst chorused good-byes from a little group of her friends on the platform. He had walked back up town slowly, trying to realize that she was gone and what it meant to him not to be able to watch her in the library or wait to see her pass in the halls. Then he had fallen into an absurd reverie in which he won impossible honors and laid them all at her feet. The next day he had heard that she was to be married.
The Professor was conscious of a curious sentiment of tenderness for himself as for some long lost friend. It was someone else who had struggled through that pitiful little tragedy, someone endued with immortal youth who had loved her and still loved her. As for him, he was the husband of a busy, helpful woman, whom he loved dearly, and he was very happy. That boy might remember yet the pure, strong curve of a girl's lips but he—he was an old man!
He rose slowly and unsteadily from his seat, "The young men see visions,'' he murmured, "But the old men-the old men dream dreams.'"
And as the Professor turned to go into the house he stumbled a little, for his eyes were moist, and he could not see very clearly.

Freshmen and Juniors rallied to the 'oo colors, which by overpowering numbers and a series of foot races were saved from the clutches of'99. Shortly after this Jimmy Green's boys, who were aching to join the fight were given a few minutes for play during which time they made a big noise and general scattering of the Arts students—their idea of fun. To their credit let it be said, when Prof. Green called them to class, they were all ready to go, and so the fun ended, with no harm done, and no one seriously hurt.

Considerable interest has been shown in scientific circles over the capture of a lepidosiren at the mouth of the Amazon river. Dr. Emil Geoldi, director of the museum at Para, has been successful in capturing one of these rare and interesting creatures. The lepidosiren is half fish and half reptile and has many peculiar habits. Naturalists have been puzzled as to its classification, some calling it a fish and others a reptile. It has both legs and lungs, and can live out of water. Its head is distinctly that of a fish. In the construction of its tail it closely resembles a newt. It lives in shallow waters, which are completely dried up by the sun during a long portion of the year. When the hot season has set in and the water greatly lessened the lepidosiren buries itself in the mud. After it has reached a considerable depth it curls itself up, and in that position awaits the rainy season. While in that position it secretes a large amount of slimy substance which makes its cells very smooth and aids in binding the mud together, forming a sort of a skin. When the rain falls moisture penetrates rapidly through the earth, dissolves the wall and restores the animal to life. The lepidosiren attains a considerable size, and is conspicuous for its powerful jaws and teeth.

The duty on sugar has always been an interesting feature of the tariff scheme of the government and Mr. Griffin's article sheds much new light on the subject.

Hawthorne Truly Says:
"These railroads are positively the greatest blessings that the ages have wrought out for us. They give us wings; they annihilate the toil and dust of pilgrimage; they spiritualize travel! Transition being so facile, what can be any man's inducement to tarry in one spot? Why should he make himself a prisoner for life in brick, and stone, and old, worm-eaten timber, when he may just as easily dwell wherever the beautiful shall offer him a home?"

WE UNDOUBTEDLY have a better base ball team this year than we have had for some seasons. Thus far we have been quite agreeably disappointed, too, in the quality of games scheduled.
WE HAVE concluded that a little less literary and editorial material in these spring issues might make the WEEKLY more readable.
A GENERAL election of officers of "THE WEEKLY" company will be held next Friday. It is the duty of every share-holder to take part in it.
THE LAST PROOF sheets of the catalog are in the hands of the publisher. By the latter part of next week the catalogs ought to be ready for distribution.
THIS TERM has been a hard one for our business manager. Our prosperity depends upon the students and the merchants. If students refuse to subscribe and merchants will not advertise, how can we publish sixteen pages of reading matter?
WE ARE in receipt of a copy of "Cap and Gown," a book of college verse compiled by F. L. Knowles. The publication is an artistic and finished product. "THE WEEKLY" by the way, contributes modestly to the volume. In his preferatory note Mr. Knowles makes some keen remarks about college verse. While it seldom pretends to the dignity of poetry, he thinks that college verse contains a great many genuine poetic touches. It is suited to the point of view of undergraduate days. In the work of collecting material for his book Mr. Knowles has made the following general observations: i. Among college people there is a lack of fondness for the sonnet and a lack of success in writing it. II. French forms of light verse are very popular,-the rondeau, the ballade and triolet. III. Purely sentimental verse is rarely written in women's colleges. College girls write in a reflective, moody strain, and are not so successful at humor as boys.

GREAT DISSATISFACTION has been expressed over the conduct of one of the judges in the Spring Oratorical Contest last Friday night. This man gave the winning orator, who in the minds of the audience as well as of the two other judges, was pre-eminently the best speaker of the evening, last place. That was, of course, his privilege, and no exceptions can be taken to it of itself. But observers state that this particular judge, when the successful orator, who came last on the program, began to speak, folded up his papers and paid no further attention. Inasmuch as he was supposed to judge on delivery this was in itself grossly unjust; but in addition to this his whole air was that of a man who had his mind entirely made up and did not intend to be turned from it. These
circumstances, coupled with the low grade he gave the successful contestant and the high grade he gave an inferior one, cast grave suspicion upon the righteousness of his motives. A discrepancy between judges is to be expected, but not one of this magnitude on the part of one man against two, especially when the proper decision was so evident. It is not known what influenced the judge to so act toward this particular contestant, but such conduct on the part of a judge has a tendency to keep good men from entering these contests, and this lowers the standard of excellence. In the future let us have judges, as the other two were on this occasion, who will not let their prejudices or personal spite influence their decision. P.
Lilqraqy.
The Joly Tyme of May.
"And as for me, thoog that I can but lyte,
On bokes for to rede I me delyte,
And to hem yeve I feyth and ful credence.
And in myn herte have hem in reverence
So hertely, that ther is game noon
That fro my bokes maketh me to goon,
But it be seldom, on the holy day;
Save, certeynly, whan that the month of May
Is comen, and that I hear the foules singe,
And that the floures ginnen for to springe,
Farwel my book and my devocioun!
"Now have I swich a condicioun,
That of all the floures in the mede,
Than love I most these floures whyte and rede,
Swiche as men callen daysies in our town.
So hem have I so greet affeceoun,
As I seyde lest, whan comen is the May,
That in my bed ther daweth me no day
That I nam up, and walking in the mede
To seen this floure agein the sonne sprede,
When hit upryseth erly by the morwe;
That blisful sighte softneth al my sorwe,
So glad am I whan that I have presence
Of hit, to doon al maner reverence,
As she, that is of alle floures flour,
Fulfilled of al vertu and honour,
And ever y-lyke fair, and fresh of hewe;
And I love hit, and ever y-lyke newe,
And ever shal, til that myn herte dye;
Al swere I not, of this I wal not lye,
Ther loved no wight hotter in his lyve."

Seraphima and the Cabbage.
Seraphima was wandering listlessly about the yard, waiting for Dickon to come home from schooi. She had run through her whole category of amusements, and had even gone so far as to build a forbidden fire in the back yard, with which to roast a wriggling, squirming worm that she had found at the root of her Aunt's favorite rose bush. But her Aunt had swooped down upon her in righteous indignation, and Seraphima was left alone with only her thoughts for company.
"I wisht Dickon'd come," she sighed. "I jes can't do nothin' th'out Dickon. Oh-h-h." She shook her tangled hair over her eyes, and clasped her hands upon her breast. Seraphima was in trouble—in fact she was never out of trouble excepting when she sat at her Aunt's knees on Sundays, and recited demurely the shorter catechism.

"Ijes' wisht I could do somethin' for myself" Seraphima said. "I'm jes in trubble all the time. Me an'Auntie can't get along together, an'I guess I'll split kindlin's."
With Seraphima, "splitting kindlings" was a sort of semi-religious ceremony that furnished an outlet for her angry passions without getting her into further trouble.
She pulled a block of wood into an upright position, and siezing the hatchet with both her little hands, began operations. Whack, whack! a little chip flew off into the air.
"Um," said Seraphima, smacking her lips, "that's Auntie."
Again the hatchet came down with considerable force, and a larger chip fell from the block. Seraphima looked at it intently for some moments.
"Well-I guess that's me," she said, dropping the hatchet, and skipping around the corner where she met Dickon coming up the path with a plump watermelon under his arm.
"Oh Dickon; where did you get it?" shouted Seraphima so loudly that her Aunt came to the door to see what was the matter.
"I—I hooked it," answered Dickon, winking as respectfully as possible at his Aunt.
"Hooked it!" Seraphima's voice contained a dozen or more exclamation points.
"Whuh, hooked it."
"How?"
"Silly! How'd you hook anything?" and Dickon turned on his heel and entered the kitchen thinking what a nuisance girls were anyway.
Seraphima was possessed of a sudden idea; she must needs try the experiment of "hooking" for herself. With a comical little frown between her eyes, she walked demurely out to the vegetable garden behind the house. Not a watermelon was in sight, but surely a cabbage would do just as well. Crouching upon her hands and knees, and looking very much like a huge toad, Seraphima lowered her head and began bumping a cabbage with all her little might. The vegetable remained firm. Again and
again Seraphima returned to the onslaught,and at last the cabbage wavered and toppled over.
"Seraphima Emily Beatrice Kerkins! What under the sun are you doing?" called her Aunt from the window.
Seraphima arose and held the cabbage out at arm's length.
"Auntie," she said proudly, "I hooked it." E.A.H.

From the Life of Sarah Jane.
Sarah Jane was thirteen. She sat on the back steps of the dreary, dingy frame house. She was looking earnestly at something. The something, I grieve to confess, was a piece of a broken mirror. But, alas, poor Sarah Jane! The picture the mirror showed her was sufficient punishment for her youthful folly and, was itself, if one could judge by her mournful expression, the surest cure for vanity that might linger in the child's mind. She saw a round, sunburned face, plentifully sprinkled with freckles, particularly abundant across the nose, a mouth, oh, so much larger than there was any need for, a mop of hair that never would stay where it was put, and was so faded by long exposure to summer sunshine that it was impossible to tell which of the several shades of brown belonged to it by nature. "It just gets worse and worse! If I only just had one pretty thing!" sighed poor Sarah Jane.
"Sarry Jane, Sarry Jane," called her mother from the kitchen, "come here and see what I've got for ye." The little girl hastily pushed her mirror under the edge of the steps and ran into the house. "See what ye're Uncle John's sent ye for ye're birthday," said the mother. With trembling fingers, the child unwrapped the long bundle and drew from the paper coverings a doll which must have come straight from Paris, she looked so gorgeous and so entirely out of place in the plain, bare kitchen. "Well now," exclaimed Sarah Jane's mother, "don't that make ye proud? And I'm right glad ye're uncle thought on't, ye've been a wantin' one so for two years and more. It's a heap better though, than as if ye'd had it before. The baby's big enough to give ye some peace a playin'
248
Kansas University Weekly.
with it now. Ye'd had hard work to a kept him from tearin' it up a year or so ago." And the the woman fingered the doll's dainty garments and smoothed the flaxen curls with her brown, work-hardened hand and her worn face lighted with pleasure at the beauty of the child's gift. It was well that her attention was so fully absorbed by Miss Dolly and that just then, she was called away and Sarah Jane was left alone with her birthday present. It was a wonderful doll, the most beautiful one she had seen but, yes, there was no doubt about the two bright drops that fell upon dolly's silken gown being tears and they came from Sarah Jane's eyes. She was crying over her doll. She was a good little girl and knew that she ought to be grateful for the gift. She wanted to be, but O dear! what her mother had said was true. She had longed for a doll once. With such a beauty as this she would have been the happiest child in the world two years ago. She could have loved it, when she was twelve. But now! The baby had grown, as her mother had said, but alas, so had Sarah Jane. She was thirteen and the finest gift she had ever had was only a disappointment, because it had come too late.

Sarah Jane was forty,—an old woman, she thought as she looked into her mirror that bright September afternoon. But the face that looked out from the glass did not seem so very old after all. It was a face well worth a second glance, for it was calm, strong, sweet and sensible. There was not one freckle to be found now, there was hardly a wrinkle unless one looked very closely. There was just a little look of weariness in the eyes,—grey eyes now, but how can one be forty and not bear some sign of the years? Sarah Jane turned from the mirror with a sigh, surely not because the picture she saw displeased but because, modest woman that she was, she saw the comeliness that would have meant so much more once than it could ever mean now.
On her little parlor table she found a bunch of magnificent roses. Had some one remembered her birthday, now, when she was forty?
She took up the note which lay by the flowers, opened it and glanced at the signature. Frederick Mills—she knew him well. It was more than a year since he came back, a very successful man, people said. She had seen him often but he had never written before. She sat down and read the note. She read it again, and yet again. Then she sat very still, thinking, thinking of the cheerless girlhood of hard work that had given no time for youthful pleasures or girlish friendships, and of the girl who had been too plain and awkward to take any great part in the few frolics that fell to her lot and too shy to make friends among those who came her way. She remembered the few, the very few times that Fred Mills had sat in the cheerless "front room" with this same shy, homely girl who could do scarcely more than stammer and blush to entertain him. No wonder he had not come oftener. Then she thought of her young womanhood, of the time when changes had come, and she had first realized the possibility of planning and living her own life in her own way, of the opportunities long deferred, but finally accepted and improved, of the days and years spent in becoming what she was to-day, a busy, useful, contented woman.
And this was her first love letter, her very first, and she was forty.
Of course there was but one answer to send now, it might have been different even ten years ago. She was a foolish old woman, perhaps, but she would keep her—her love letter just because it was her first and only one.
Two bright drops fell upon the paper as she took from the table one of the largest and most perfect of the roses. Then she went to her desk, to a little drawer that was not often opened, and in it she placed the letter and the rose. Of course, it was quite by chance that the white paper with the crimson petals pressed against it, lay upon the flaxen hair of a doll, her birthday gift when she was thirteen.

Miss Mary F. Winston, of St. Joseph, Mo., spent Saturday and Sunday with Prof. and Mrs. Bailey. Miss Winston holds the degree of doctor of philosophy from the university of Goettingen. She passed the examinations in mathematics last summer magna cum laude. Many members of the faculty met Miss Winston and all were pleased with the "fraulein doctor."
An Enjoyable Outing.
The excursion of the Country club to Blue Mound last Saturday was by far the most successful one yet undertaken by that club. The attendance was large, some making the trip to the Mound by rail, some on bicycles, others in carriages, and a great many by walking. At
noon lunch was served at the summit, hot coffee being furnished all by Prof. Sayre. The afternoon was spent in games, base ball being the chief amusement. Late in the afternoon the return trip was made by the picnickers who were, perhaps, a trifle fatigued but thoroughly satisfied with the day's enjoyment. Much credit is due Prof. Templin for the success of the enterprise.
The Theta Party.
The members of the Kappa Alpha Theta fraternity entertained their friends last Friday night at Pythian hall. Although there was a large number present the floor was not too crowded and this together with the cool breezes and the inspiring strains of Zimmerschild's orchestra, of Kansas City, made the dancing doubly enjoyable. The decorations consisted entirely of flowers of which there was a profusion. The chandeliers were entwined with bunches of lilacs which suffused a delicately pleasing scent throughout the hall. Ices served from a booth in the gallery were the refreshments. There were many out-of-town guests among them being the Misses Knight, Dunlap, and Lee, the Messrs. Kingsly and Dunlap, and Mrs. Lynn, of Kansas City; Miss May Davis, Mr. Joe Morgan, and Mrs. Shellabarger of Topeka; and Mr. G. A. Hagar of St. Louis.
Barb Annual.
Last Saturday night one of the gayest balls of the year was given in Pythian Hall by the Barbs of the University. It was to be the final ball of the season and it seemed as if all the gaity of the months to intervene between this and the opening ball of next year had been collecting and had broken forth in one evening's entertainment. The chandeliers and gallery were handsomely draped with the old University colors, sky blue and corn yellow. The windows were filled with Marguerites and other potted plants and from behind banks of palms and flowers Buch's Orchestra furnished the music for the evening. There were more than forty couples present. Ices and punch were served in the gallery. The occasion was a gay one

and one which will long be remembered by those who were present.
Chapel Notes.
Mr. Gilbert sang a solo last Friday.
Prof. Sayre has led this week.
The subject Monday was the necessity of taking time for reflection occasionally; Tuesday, the impatience of reformers and the necessity of going slowly in good works; Wednesday, the silent influence of a man who quietly but firmly does the right; Thursday, the relation of sound thinking to right action.
Regent Sams attended chapel Thursday morning.
The Adelphic Society.
Last Saturday night, the Adelphic presented its usual excellent program. The debate, on the subject of the Law of Retainder, was of exceptional interest, and the gentlemen, Messrs. Gates, Hammers, Folks and Hayden, spoke logically and to the point. Miss Whitaker played a piano solo, kindly responding to an enthusiastic encore, with a brilliant selection, admirably executed. Mr. Hansman's "Adelphic Oracle" was greatly enjoyed, and contained several tid-bits of philosophy and wit. The president-elect, Mr. Hester, on taking the chair, made a few remarks on the use and abuse of parlimentary rules. From the dignity and decision shown by Mr. Hester during the evening, the Adelphic feels that it has chosen nicely in selecting him for President. The Society is doing good work, the members are enthusiastic, and the lethargy of Spring and approaching Commencement seems to make no inroads on its strength.
Oratorical Contest.
The annual Spring Oratorical Contest was held last Friday evening, April 30th. Very little interest was taken in the contest by outsiders and there was a very small attendance, about seventy-five all told. The effect of the small crowd was evident on the speakers, who were cold and constrained, and could not get warmed up to their subjects. The contestants with their
orations were: George O. Foster, "Since the Shackles were removed;" Geo.E. Potter, "Municipal Reform;" Miss Hessie M. Reid, "One Phase of Missionary Work;" Walter A. Layton, "The True Worth of Personality;" and P. S. Elliott, "Liberty and Law." The last speaker on the program, Mr. P. S. Elliott, was declared the winner by the decision of the judges. Such a decision was expected by the audience and was satisfactory to all.
Association of Collegiate Alumnae.
The annual spring meeting of the Kansas City Branch of the Association of Collegiate Alumnae was held in the parlors of the First Congregational Church of Kansas City on Saturday, May 1. Mrs. Ida B. Mosher, Oberlin,'80, who has been the very efficient president of this Branch since its organization, was compelled on account of ill health to resign the position, and Miss Ethel B. Allen, U. of K.,'82, was elected president. After the business meeting, Miss Maddocks, of Washburn College, Topeka, entertained those present by a pleasant talk on student life among the women of Chicago University. Luncheon was then served, through the hospitality of the Kansas City members, and the twenty women who sat down to it enjoyed a dainty repast and an hour of pleasant conversation.
Those who attended from Lawrence were Misses Carrie M. Watson, Agnes Emery, Edith Clarke, and Clara Gillham.
The next meeting of the Branch will be held in Lawrence in October, on the invitation of Miss Emery, who will entertain them,
Dr. Franklin in South America.
The characteristics which made Dr. Franklin so valuable to the University, and which made everyone his friend, seem to be in full play in his new field—a mining camp in far away Costa Rica. F.O.Popenoe, of Topeka, who is treasurer of the mining company and who is in Costa Rica, writes to a friend in Lawrence:
"It was a great piece of good fortune when we succeeded in securing Professor Franklin for our Chemist. He not only has the highest
252

class of ability, but is every inch a man. What more can I say? When he reached the mine our mill had not yet started, and every effort was being made to complete its erection and to start the wheels. He took in the situation at a glance, got on some rough clothes, and from that time on was everywhere and everything. From the assay forge he would make a quick change to the dynamo and where the electrician of the mine failed, he succeeded. Half an hour later he would be found perched on the shafting, lacing a belt or regulating a gearing; back to the assay house; planing a board; adjusting the "tables," helping at the steam pump, the pipe line, the ore crusher--everything. In the evening he would tune up on his cornet, and once in the morning, when the cook was sick, he made biscuits. And the biscuits, as everything else he undertook, were well made. With all his other work he has found time to get some good pictures with his camera and I have about forty good plates to bring home. He gives character to everything—he is a brick."
Pharmacy Building.
The senior class had their pictures taken one day this week.
Prof. Sayre has invited the Seniors to his home Saturday evening to meet some distinguished guests who are visiting him from Kansas City.
Prof. Sayre addressed the Chemical Seminary last Monday afternoon on the subject of "Pre-digested Foods." He is well acquainted with the preparations on the market sold as digested foods as well as with the men who make them, and gave a very interesting and instructive talk.
Prof. Bailey is spending a day or two visiting the Cement and Plaster Mills at Longford, Dillon and Hope. He is collecting samples for some work he is doing along that line.
The senior class in Pharmacy has permitted the Druggists Circular of New York to print all their Theses this term. In return the Circular has sent each one of the Senior a year's subscription to the paper.
The base ball team from the Pharmics and Preparatory Medical students played the High School team Thursday afternoon.
The Prize Essay.
Those who propose contesting for the prize offered by Miss Brown for the best essay on "The Moral of The Tempest" are requested to hand their essays to Mr. Alfred Whitman on or before Saturday the 15th inst. The name of writer must be put in a sealed envelope and left with the essay一it will not be opened until after the award is made. The names of the judges will be announced next week.
Athletic Notes.
Kansas won from Missouri by a score of 8 to o, in the game at Columbia last Thursday. The K. U. team played an errorless game.
The annual field meet was held at the south side track last Friday. The events were closely contested. The results will be given next week.
The great game of the season next Friday afternoon—Seniors vs Faculty. None but full and associate professors are to play. Funny remarks will be too numerous to mention.
Class games scheduled for last week will be played this week.
The regular team left for Columbia, Mo., last Wednesday. They played three games: M. S. vs K. U. May 6, at Columbia; Westminster College vs K. U. May 7, at Columbia; Wm. Jewell vs K. U. May 8, at Liberty. Upon their return from Missouri K. U. meets Washburn at Topeka on May 14, and returns home to play Manhattan on McCook field Saturday, May 15. The home games thus far have been good ones, and have been fairly well patronized. But there are many reasons why the Manhattan game should bring out the largest crowd of the season. Our team is playing gilt edged ball and deserves support. This is the next to the last game of the season. A special invitation is extended to every professor and student of K. U. to come out and spend two-bits.
K. U. won from the strong St. Mary's team in the game at St. Marys last Saturday. It

brought great sorrow to St. Marys, as it was the only game lost by that team on their home grounds in seven years. The score was 7 to 4. Stanley pitched the game.
OTTAWA VS K. U.
Can Ottawa play ball? Well, I guess "nit!" The 'Varsity won from the Ottawa aggregation hands down" in the game played on McCook field last Tuesday. It was an ideal base ball day and the grounds were in splendid shape. The game was marked by several brilliant plays. Housh's neat stop of Wilbur's sharp hit to the infield was the prettiest play of the season. K. U. had her batting clothes on and landed on the ball at the proper time. Barnett's error on Housh's hard drive to left field brought in four runs in the fifth inning, thus cinching the game for the 'Varsity. Peters pitched a very creditable game up to the seventh inning when Stanley went in. The infield play of the home team was sharp at all times. For the visitors, Wilbur, at short, did some very clever work, while Wilbur, Tracy and Mitchell made a very neat double play. The score:

School of Fine Arts.
Prof. Penny went to Ottawa last Wednesday.
Invitations are out for the first two recitals, Miss Skofstad's May 13th, and Miss Spaulding's May 15th. Each Senior is issuing four hundred invitations. Many are regretting that Music Hall is not larger.
The fifteenth recital was given last Wednesday. There will probably be one more of these afternoon recitals. It is an appaeciated fact that they have been better attended this year than ever before. The large audience is a stimulant to the student for harder work.
The Euterpe club held its final program meeting for the year Saturday afternoon at the home of Miss Starr. The attendance was good although there were a few absentees. However, they were punished in that they missed a delightful meeting for Miss Starr had surprises in store. After an enjoyable program refreshments were served and then a souvenir calendar presented to each member by the hostess which were much appreciated as a remembrance of many pleasant gatherings held by the club. Although the regular meetings have ceased the the club has by no means disbanded and further plans are being made for this year. A hearty vote of thanks was tendered Miss Starr for her entertainment.

Hawthorne Truly Says:
"These railroads are positively the greatest blessings that the ages have wrought out for us. They give us wings; they annihilate the toil and dust of pilgrimage; they spiritualize travel! Transition being so facile, what can be any man's inducement to tarry in one spot? Why should he make himself a prisoner for life in brick, and stone, and old, worm-eaten timber, when he may just as easily dwell wherever the beautiful shall offer him a home?"

THIS HAS been a year of victories for Kansas University. An Inter-state contest seems to call out our best talent. The recent Nebraska —Kansas debate was a gratifying test of our ability.
LAWRENCE is certainly a typical college town. The loveliness of her Spring constrains this observation.
FOR a complete logical analysis of the Nebraska-Kansas debate apply to the Advanced English Composition class.
OUR PROFESSORS think that base ball is a great sport for amateurs; but, a moderate participation therein,—say once a year,—seems to satisfy them.
THE PRESENT work of our department of sociology is uniquely practical. The advanced class is truly "graduate" in its methods,—the chief of which is individual research.
THE FEATURE of the new catalog is the publication of our Graduate School curriculum. A Graduate school was authorized at the last meeting of the board of regents and already has been established. It ought to attract many students next year and soon become as important and popular at Kansas University as are graduate departments elsewhere. Many eastern colleges have made the graduate school idea all inclusive, and, probably, would sink into comparative insignificance were it not for the excellence of their post-graduate equipments. In the inauguration of our new school we are about to realize our fondest hopes. We trust that next year's attendance may warrant, nay, more—necessitate more perfect organization in our graduate department.
ONCE MORE we have downed Missouri in athletics. The Missouri-Kansas base ball match was a beautiful exhibition of team work. Our boys played an errorless game, and besides conducted themselves so well during the play as

well as at other times, that they ingratiated themselves with the Missouri University people leaving a creditable impression both for good ball playing and for general agreeableness. Throughout the game a spirit of good nature and kindly feeling was manifest; and although the Missourians were hard loosers their asperity was tempered with genuine respect for our athletic skill and our manly conduct. Mr. Fletcher is to be especially commended for his capable management of the team. He has worked under many difficulties, not the least of which were the discouraging comments of petty croakers. The result of the Columbia game bespeaks his competency and ought to insure him general approbation. Among the individual players perfect harmony now exists; all differences have been adjusted, and downright ball playing is made possible at last. One more inter-state victory, and the excellence of the '97ball team will become college tradition.

"Chapter XX."
But I've been so interested in describing the wedding that I almost forgot something that is of a good deal of importance—to me—and about which I must tell you. You won't believe I could forget it when you hear what it is, but really it seems of so little moment now—as if I had always known it—that I do forget it half the time.
In most of the novels and stories "for the edification of youth," when, along past the middle of the book, the plot gets inextricably tangled, there comes in a pathetic scene in which one of the characters dies. It generally comes about chapter twentieth, and is always very affecting, although you are frequently glad in a subdued sort of manner for it clears the way for the hero and heroine and after that they "all live happily ever after." Well, in the story of our lives which we have been working out, the Great Author pursues somewhat the same plan. We are entering now upon the twentieth chapter. And the character which has been selected to be the centerpiece in this moving tableaux is my honorable self.
Now Frank, please don't be surprised. You know you never really expected to see me live to be a sober, middle-aged woman. You didn't think of my dying, of course, but rather
I would disappear, and if I were sober and middle-aged you'd never know it. But, you see, the world is too small. I can't disappear with any certainty of remaining unseen. You'd be sure to run against me, nervous and dowdy and respectable, at a watering place or keeping a highly convenient, and untidy "Bicycler's Inn" where you needs must stop when you went out on a summer tour. So you will readily perceive that the other way is much the best.
No, I'm not joking this time, it's really decided. About a month ago I developed a nice little hacking cough and one fine day after an over-exertion—but the details are probably not interesting to you, and besides I believe I have forgotten them myself. Suffice it to say that the grave and reverend lights of the medical profession—(it never occurred to me before, but what a good epithet that is for a physician, "a grave light!") anyhow, all the doctors here have decided that I have consumption and can last at the farthest only until spring. Isn't it exquisitely ridiculous? That really is the only way it affects me. Now about a year ago I was wild to die and get out of it all, but just as I have reconciled myself to living and leading a placid and commonplace existence in the most contented manner I am presented with the gift I have given over desiring. It reminds me of nothing so much as the time Uncle Ross offered me a year in Italy after the sickness in which

lost my voice. It was only my long training in appreciating the joke on myself that saved me when the dear old gentleman said: "He never did think that Josephine meant much by her nonsense of wanting to be a singer and this proved it." Of course, we couldn't tell him that it was through his Minnie's disobedience I took the disease, and it grew to a screaming farce when he insisted that I sing to him with my scrap of a croak remaining. But the child had never been taught to obey so what could one expect; and also she suffered with us. Oh well!
Will you pardon me if I talk a good deal about myself and be patient if I write you an unconscionably long letter? The valedictory is usually of some length I believe, and so this only follows established usage.
It's a curious fact that into my life have come "windfalls" which if they had been only a few days sooner might have entirely altered it for the good, I think, but which coming tardy as they do have almost no influence. I read somewhere concerning genius, "What matter if Nature spoil a thousand making one of these." Which is comforting to the thousand. I think I must be about No. 963. Nature has yet to fit circumstances together well enough to let the creation develop. She arranged them with exasperating inaccuracy in my life. But perhaps it wasn't her fault. I really believe that was it, for you remember that my set in college was—well, "not slow""and I'm sure I skipped something girlish and innocent that ought to have been in my life.
But I suppose it doesn't matter much as it is. Although my last gift from the gods has not come just on time and when I was longing for it, I don't think I am particularly sorry to go. Death isn't such an especially awful thing to meet. I feel rather inclined to shake hands with all the skeletons I see and say "how are you, old chum. Just tell them I'm a-coming too." And think how I will appreciate all your jokes—with what a grin I can meet them!
I can't be doleful. Isn't it appropriate that I should die of it after I have been a "cheerful idiot" all my life. But I'm rambling on in a desultory way, not writing at all what I started to.
There, I'm getting flippant again. But consumption is such a cheerful disease, Frank, that
There are several things I want to say to you now that the "play is played out" with you at one end of the earth and—well, I'm not quite at the other—say half way. I've gotten the idea somewhere—probably I'm mistaken and you'll say to yourself "what a conceited little fool!" but it really doesn't matter you know—I've somehow decided that you have begun to idealize me with that fatal facility of yours, and consequently to imagine that you like me in a certain mistaken way. This has been brought on by my own attitude I know. Now confess, Frank, haven't you thought that I was in a fair way to fall in love with you, if not already in? And like a knight of ye olden tyme you chivalarously put yourself to return it. Really, Mr. Auld, I must say that for an educated youth you are what they call "easy." I might as well admit that I was doing that pose,—for a purpose? —no, simply for amusement. And you swallowed the bait with the avidity of an eighteen-year-old.
Now, Frank, because I have turned my actions inside out for your benefit I don't want you to jump to the conclusion, as you are prone to do, that what I am all girls must be. It is only girls who need excitement to exist, who crave it as a smoker his cigar, who would set out to do such a thing. Some few of us, there are unhappy products of this fin-de-siecle time, that will stoop to almost anythinfi for the satisfaction of their desire for change. There is much which is not honest in what I have done, which a sweet true girl such as are many—oh very many, Frank, of those in this round world would never have dreamed of doing. I hope you will love and marry one of the "good girls," my friend. A tender, pure, strong woman who will lift your aspirations by the force of her white soul to a plane I never could hope to reach. Her tenderness will cover and clothe with a sweet fragrance your strength and your weakness, your good and your sin, and laying
264
Kansas University Weekly.
your whole self at her feet you will be raised by the power of your love into knowledge and wisdom.
And this brings me to my last suggestion: I know something of the purity and dignity with which death invests his victims and the effect that old adage "Think no evil of the dead" has upon our minds. But when I am dead I wish you to remember me as I am, not as a superhuman creature. Remember that I was not honest or true except when it happened to suit my caprice to be so, remember that I had always an unhappy craving for continual excitement and a morbid desire to excite admiration. Remember that I was neither pure of thought nor earnest of purpose, that I had no self respect, no faith whatsoever, and the instincts of an actress.
But not forgetting any of these things, if you should find it within you sometime to think kindly of me and say to yourself "the child was not so much to blame after all and under different environment might have made a good woman," I believe that I shall know it and be glad. And I the breeze shall blow somewhat the softer for it, I the sun shall shine somewhat the brighter for it, I the river shall ripple somewhat the merrier for it, and I the grass shall grow somewhat the straighter for it. * * *
FRANCIS CHAPLINE.
Over the Sopena-chuck Falls.
On the afternoon of an early July day a canoe was sweeping down the Spirit river, propelled by three young fellows, Fred Arlington and Bert White, students in College, and "the Dutchman," a younger brother of Fred. For three days the little party had been steadily pursuing their way down the gently flowing stream with scarcely a sound to break the all pervading sultry stillness save the ceaseless swing of the paddles and at intervals the guttural caw of a solitary crow. Under the strokes of the three practical paddlers and aided by the current the long slender craft sped swiftly along, and in three days had traversed one hundred miles of the winding river.
Toward sunset the party began to watch the banks with special care to find, if possible, a good camping place.
"How does that strike you, fellows," demanded Fred, pointing with his paddle to a broad ledge of limestone which jutted out above the rock-strewn beach and from which the forest-clad banks gradually rose.
"Looks like a dry place," commented "the Dutchman." "I think I can see a corn field up there through the timber. Perhaps we can get some roasting-ears for supper.
The canoe was run in and tied to a projecting rock on shore. The various camping paraphernalia were quickly unshipped and an hour later the three supped in savage profusion.
"I tell you, boy's these rocks are going to be awful hard to sleep on, with nothing under one but a blanket," remarked Bert as he meditatively nibbled a roasting ear.
"They're better than the damp banks we've had to sleep on for the last two nights," returned Fred.
"Don't care a clam about that; don't want any rock in mine," persisted Bert, "I'm going to bunk in the canoe to night."
So as soon as the arrangements for the evening had been completed, Bert unpacked his blanket and after stuffing a small canvas sack with leaves for a pillow he clambered down to the lower beach. He was soon wrapped up in his blanket and snugly ensconced in the canoe, with the low gurgling of the water past the stern as a soothing lullaby. For a moment the young fellow lay awake, gazing obliquely up at the tree-shrouded ledge and at the clouds scudding across the sky. But a day's hard paddling is most exhausting work and soon, as he looked at the flickering camp-fire, the dim figures of the other boys and the dark overhanging trees seemed gradually to blend until at last they faded out altogether.
About one o'clock, as it afterward transpired, Bert roused up to find a gentle rain falling on his face and a heavy roar swelling through the damp air. For a moment he was so profoundly drowsy that all this made very little impression.

Then as the roar grew in volume, he realized that something was wrong, and springing up, he gave a hasty glance around. Deep darkness covered everything but by the dim outlines of the trees on shore he could see that the canoe was being swiftly borne forward. The thunder now seemed almost under the canoe and it suddenly dawned on his mind that he must be drifting toward the Sopena-chuck Falls. He made a brief, frantic search for a paddle. Confused as he was by the darkness, the hidden danger and the awful feeling of helplessness, it was a moment before he remembered that all the paddles had been taken out the evening before; and in that moment the boat was swept into the resistless rush above the falls. For one instant Bert clutched the gunwales in mortal fear—and then came the terrible leap. He was conscious only of the infinite might of the down-rushing water, of the boat's turning
over as they took the plunge, and then of being helplessly tossed in the wild seethe below the falls. A second later his shoulder struck with an agonizing crunch against a jagged mass of rock and he was then swept, choking and half stunned, into the quiet water below. One arm was useless, but more by instinct than conscious effort he managed to reach the bank.
Early next morning his anxious comrades met him toiling slowly back along the bank, half dazed by pain and with his arm covered with clotted blood. His collar-bone had been snapped and the big mass of muscle on the point of the shoulder was terribly bruised and lacerated. A month later, when Bert told me the story, he had almost entirely recovered from the effects of the accident, but on that shoulder he still bears a mass of ugly livid scars—mute reminders of his wild midnight plunge over the Sopena-chuck Falls.

K. U. Defeats Nebraska!
The third annual debate between the Universities of Kansas and Nebraska was won by the former at the University chapel last Friday night. The debaters from Nebraska were able men but no match for the Kansans. There was scarcely a person in the hall who did not concede the victory to Kansas. Although the audience was large there was not the attendance that the occasion merited. The last six rows of the lower floor were not filled and the gallery doors were not opened. The students in the audience amused themselves by giving their different class yells until Chancellor Snow appeared and announced the first speaker at about half past eight. Each Speaker was allowed fifteen minutes in the following order: G.W.Green, C.W.Sharpe, J.D.Dennison, F.H.Wood,R.S.Baker,W.C.Coleman. Messrs. Coleman and Baker were each allowed ten minute speeches in rebuttal. The speeches of all were logical and and in nearly every case well delivered. The judges were President L. W.McAfee, of Park College, Mo., President D.R.Boyd, of Oklahoma University and Hon.F.Dexter, of Kansas City. Their decision was in favor of Kansas,the vote standing 2 to 1. Great applause followed the decision and the friends of contestants hurried to the platform to congratulate them. This victory gives Kansas University two of the three annual debates held with Nebraska and compensates in part for the defeat suffered in the state oratorical contest.
Chancellor MacLean Speaks.
The Annual Sermon before the Y. W. and Y.M.C.A's.of the University was delivered in the chapel last Sunday evening by Chancellor George E. MacLean of the University of Nebraska. Many of the churches of the city had accepted an invitation to unite with the Associations in the service and an audience of 1300 students and towns-people greeted the speaker.
Chancellor Snow presided and in the preliminary service was assisted by ministers of
the city. The choir under the direction of Prof. Penny rendered a beautiful selection from Gaul's "Passion."
Chancellor MacLean appeared in the conventional doctor's gown and further added to the impressiveness of the service by his earnest forceful delivery, speaking without notes. Responding in a very happy little speech to Chancellor Snow's introduction Chancellor MacLean mentioned the cordial relations existing between the two Universities and attributed not a little of this to the visits of our Chancellor to the University of Nebraska.
The theme of the discourse was "Christianity; the Gospel of Manhood." None of the ancient religions produced our ideal of manhood, neither can their modernized forms; nor has the grand though not completed truths of science done so: we find our ideal in the teachings of the Man of Galilee.
Chancellor MacLean may ever expect a cordial welcome at the University of Kansas.
Chapel Notes.
Mr. W. J. Parker, of the University of Minnesota, officiated in chapel last Friday morning and spoke of the influence of the Y. M. C. A. in broadening our religious sympathies.
Miss Wilder, '82 and Miss Harriman, teachers in the Kansas City, Mo., High School, attended chapel last Friday.
Chancellor McLean, of the University of Nebraska led Monday morning and spoke of the need of culture in the highest and best sense of the word.
Prof. Cowan led Tuesday and spoke of the development of the character of the apostle Peter.
Prof. Wilcox led Wednesday morning, reading the book of Jonah and calling attention to its principal lessons, especially the breadth of sympathy of its author and his large Christian view of the Providence of God.
Prof. Bailey led Thursday morning.
The New Catalogue.
The new catalogues have been received from the state printer and being distributed among

the students. The catalogue resembles that of last year with some changes. There is another and better frontispiece and the course of study of the newly established graduate school. The entire enrollment for the year is shown to be 1004, an increase of 109 over last year. There are 629 males and 375 females. There are 43 post-graduates, 515 in the School of Arts, 150 in the Law School, 58 Pharmics, 172 in the School of Fine Arts and 87 in the Engineering School. Considering the adverse action of the last legislature this is a remarkable showing.
Chancellor's Reception.
The annual Reception to the Seniors in all Schools of the University will be held at the Chancellor's Residence next Friday evening May, 21st.
The Sophomore Spread.
There were twenty-five couple in attendance at the Sophomore spread last Saturday night. The early part of the evening was devoted to various games, especially progressive "UpJenkins," from which great amusement was derived. After delicious refreshments consisting of ice cream, cake, and other confections had been served, the floor was cleared and the remainder of the evening spent in dancing. All in all the spread was a great success and reflects much credit upon the Sophomore class and especially the committee in charge of it.
J. C. Kelsey Hurt.
J. C. Kelsey, '95, is in St. Joseph's Hospital, Lancaster, Pa. as the result of a serious accident while engaged in electrical work. Mr. Kelsey was knocked from a 40 forty foot pole onto hard ground and was picked up with his left arm broken twice, his hip contused and his back paralyzed. It will be sometime before he will be able to walk again.
Chemistry Notes.
Prof. Weida of Baldwin addressed the chemical seminary Monday on "The action of Alcoholic Ferments" and "The Kimberly Diamond Fields of South Africa." Prof. Bailey also reported on the "Gypsite deposits of Dickinson County."
The Chemistry Department received a picture recently of a meteorite which fell on the farm of J. F. Black, east of Ottawa, and which Prof. Bailey analyzed to determine its genuineness. It has been sold to Geo.F.Kuntz of New York. J.E.Baker of Kansas University '94, is taking special work in chemistry and mineralogy.
Mr. J. R. Bechtel of Lawrence explained and illustrated the practice of Osteopathy before the prepatory Medical students Tuesday afternoon. This is one of a successful and instructive course of lectures given before the Medical Society this year. The course will be concluded May 25 with a lecture on Insanity by Prof. Templin.
Grant Van Hoose who has been teaching the past year at Pratt is taking advanced work in chemistry.
Prof. Bailey's article on "Vessels used for the Preparation of Food and Medicine" recently printed in this country in the Bulletin of Pharmacy, has been copied by the Journal of Food and Sanitation, one of the leading chemical papers of England.
Fine Arts Notes.
One of the spring festivities for the School of Fine Arts was given last Saturday-the annual picnic in Prof. Penny's yard. Tennis and other outdoor amusements were provided. Nearly all the students were present and report a jolly time.
Miss Daisy Orton is here to attend the recitals. She and Miss Wilson heard Correno in Kansas City Friday evening.
Prof. Miller gave a lecture on astronomy to which several of the class taking the Art lectures attended. Jupiter and three moons, Saturn, its rings and two moons were very distinct. Several very beautiful constellations were pointed out although the brilliancy of the moonlight obscured many that should have been visible Prof. Miller deserves thanks for a very interesting lecture.
Invitations have been issued for the third and fourth graduating recitals; Miss Mattie Brown's,

It may not be generally known that Prof. Preyer is Vice President from Kansas of the National Teachers' Association. He would be pleased if those desiring to join the organization would confer with the Secretary at Music HallSpecial rates and fees to music students.
The Seniors were banqueted by the professors of this department Tuesday evening at Prof. Preyer's new home. It was certainly one of the most delightful receptions of the many given to this class, which numbers nine girls and one gentleman. All members of the faculty and class were present with the exception of Mrs. Clark, who was detained by a sprained foot. This was a disappointment to her and the class.
At a quarter of seven the guests were seated at the table under the Euterpe colors. Misses Sands, Havens and Proud assisted in the dining-room. The menu cards were artistically decorated by Prof. Clark. The comparisons between picture and owner were very entertaining. Prof. Penny, a musical genius, had by the means of his ingenuity arranged the seven courses under guise of a musical program, thus keepthe guests wondering what "Pressed finger-tips a la Leschetitzky," "Touche crispo," and "Waves of the ocean," etc. could be. The merriment kept up until the toasts began, and then continued. The toasts were exceedingly well prepared.
The Annual Field Meet
The annual field meet was held at the driving park sonth of town last Friday. The program was fairly good, but there was not sufficient competition in the events to make them as successful as should be.

Athletic Notes.
The Kansas University base ball team defeated the Missouri University team by a score of 8 to o, and for the second time this school-year the brawny Jayhawkers trampled the black and old-gold in the dust. An ideal day brought out a large crowd of excited college men, visiting Columbia to attend the Inter-State Oratorical contest. It was a gala day for Columbia and the field was crowded with fashionable turnouts M. S. U. was to have revenge for the humiliating she had received on Thanksgiving.

pitched a phenomenal game. Twice with the bases full he struck out the Missourians in one, two, three order, allowing only 7 men to get to 1st base. He struck out 12 men during the game. Brodick, the M. S. U.pitcher, was in good form and fielded his position splendidly. The Jayhawkers only made 9 hits off his delivery and he succeeded in striking out 8 men.
Dewey the M. S. U. captain and third baseman played a faultless game accepting 8 chances without an error. The Kansas team played an errorless game. Blackshere's work at third and his batting being on the phenom. order. The boys were entertained royally while in Columbia and are well pieased with their trip.
Kansas lost the game with the Westminster M. S. U. Fulton City Ingram professional combination by a score of 15 to 8. Up to the 5th inning the score was 8 to 4 in favor of Kansas and only a few costly errors lost the game. Peters was in the box for Kansas and Ingram the dummy professional pitcher for the "Combination."

Ruts in Business.
Ruts are bad. Webster says they are furrows made by wheels. It is an easy matter to get into ruts, and difficult to get out of them.
There are many kinds of ruts: one that is supposed to be common with young ladies is the sending off to some other town for many things, that they can get at home. The quickest and cheapest way to get out of such ruts is first, to acquaint yourself with what we keep. You will find no necessity for sending away. You can always suit yourself better at home, and save money, besides much vexation of spirit.

Hawthorne Truly Says:
"These railroads are positively the greatest blessings that the ages have wrought out for us. They give us wings; they annihilate the toil and dust of pilgrimage; they spiritualize travel! Transition being so facile, what can be any man's inducement to tarry in one spot? Why should he make himself a prisoner for life in brick, and stone, and old, worm-eaten timber, when he may just as easily dwell wherever the beautiful shall offer him a home?"
The magnificent trains of the Santa Fe Route offer a facile transition to many beautiful spots in Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona aud California. Free descriptive literature. W. J. Black, G. P. A., A. T. & S. F. Ry., Topeka, Kas.

THE NEW scheme of checking hats, wraps and umbrellas is a good one. Men's hats are so very much alike that they are likely to become mixed up. Thus unfair exchanges and total losses are frequent. The difficulty of confusion is to obviated by the institution of a check stand. The individual expense of maintaining such an adjunct is ten cents per month.
THIS SEASON, for almost the first time in the history of athletics at Kansas University, the association will have no base ball debt to meet.
THE POLL-LIST of the voters at last Friday's election shows a goodly increase in the number of shareholders in THE WEEKLY COMPANY. Next year the student body ought to be thoroughly recanvassed for subscriptions to the college paper. Out of one thousand students only about three hundred subscribe for The Weekly. Aside from its intrinsic worth the paper deserves unstinted support as the only officially recognized weekly publication at the University. This it has not had; in consequence whereof it has not been truly exponential of the magnitude of the institution which it represents. The editorial board-elect promises regeneration.
It is very earnestly desired that a greater number of students should stay at the University until after commencement. It has been the custom for most of the students, except of course the Seniors, to leave for home as soon as the final examinations are over, thus causing all the familiar places to have a deserted look at the time when the parents and friends of the graduates are here during commencement week. This practice has become so customary that lower classmen almost invariably leave as a matter of course without ever reflecting that they might gain some profit as well as amusement by staying for the closing exercises. The matter of expense can surely carry little weight, for that would be but little extra for five days.
278
Kansas University Weekly.
This year it is especially urged by both the Seniors and the Faculty that as many students as possible remain. To this end these last five days will be made as interesting to the general public as possible. There will be good addresses every night, class-day exercises, and possibly on one afternoon an inter-state ball game. There has always been a large attendance of the outside public at these exercises but a larger attendance of the great student
body is desirable. Old graduates say that the best times they ever had were during commencements, and that they wished they had attended more. It gives the opportunity for relaxation from the cares of study and the cultivation of the social side of one's nature while still surrounded by the familiar University scenes and faces. Let as many as can remain. P.

On erudition's ladder

Tall and fair and erudite,
With facts her mind was laden,
She was learned, O yes, quite.
Over trigonometry She enjoyed a perfect sway. Her mind never aimlessly "On a tangent" went astray.
She talked of metaphysics In a philosophic tone And wrote verse in iambics In a meter quite her own.

She studied carefully.
But when you come to ask her To give opinion free, About the latest author And his novel, scathingly,

When wayward youths at midnight Pass by this maiden's dwelling They see her by the gas light Reading—Ah! that's no fair telling!
Alas! it is not ethics
That so holds her attention

The Moral of The Tempest.
NOTE. A prize, Dr. Funesse's Variorum edition of "The Tempest" was offered for the best essay on "The Moral of The Tempest." Mr. Sharpe won the contest. Following is the prize essay.
It has been thought by some Shakesperian scholars that "The Tempest" is the last product of the great artist's genius, and that in the person of Prospero we have Shakespeare himself in the fullest expression of his subjective character. Whether this be true or not, certain it is that such a supposition would do no violence to any ideal held by the most ardent of Shakespeare's admirers, however much it might conflict with certain traditions concerning our poet's personal habits. At any rate it seems certain that we have in this play, the great dramatist's maturest thought upon some of the most fundamental problems claiming human attention.
We are required by the wording of our theme to seek for some particular lesson or doctrine amid the marvelous variety of this literary wonder-house. This would seem to be an undertaking calling for very large powers of ethical and philosophical discrimination and judgment for surely there are in "The Tempest" more morals than one. Yet, as in a musical composition there is one dominant chord which throws its influence over the whole, so in this drama there is the strong undercurrent of one dominating sentiment upon which other sentiments figure as their sustaining element. What this dominating sentiment is cannot be

determined by a random selection of quotations nor can it be discovered by a merely superficial perusal of the entire play. It must rather be deduced from the total effect of the play upon the spmpathetically intelligent reader. In what state of soul does it leave him. Is he perturbed or has some voice spoken—"Peace beginning to be, deep as the sleep of the sea!" Is he left in skepticism as to the existence of the eternal verities or have his highest aspirations and intuitions received reinforcement? These questions answered, we have the moral of the play and then by a careful re-reading, the whole plan of the work is clearly seen to work naturally and artistically toward a definite end.
Proceeding according to the method above described let us see how we shall fare, buffeting "The Tempest." From beginning to end our interest centers in Prospero the injured Duke of Milan. He claims our sympathy though we never, for a moment, deem him an object of pity. He is too regal, too great to serve as the object of such a sentiment. Grievously wronged as he has been, he is yet richer far than his enemies in the enjoyment of their ill-gotten wealth and honors. He has a goodly kingdom within himself—a mind bounteously furnished with the adornments of culture, and a spirit by its rectitude rendered not impervious but superior to the "thorns and natural shocks that flesh is heir to." He serenely bides his time, meanwhile cultivating his powers; educating his beauteous daughter; keeping the fountains of love and sympathy open. By a convenient fiction he is endowed with supernatural power thus surrounding him with an additional element of fascination while at the same time symbolizing the fundamental moral of the drama.
And now his opportunity arrives—"the wheel has come full circle" and his enemies are within his reach. He sends forth his supernatural agents who quickly lash the sea into fury and "incense all the creatures against the peace" of the offenders. His high charm works and Prospero's enemies are "all knit up in their distractions." But now the high nobility of the man shines forth as he contemplates the
pitiable state of his fallen foes. Indeed, there is nothing in the play to indicate that Prospero had ever entertained a project of mere revenge. Ariel's plea in behalf of the offenders was superfluous. There is naught to show but that from the very beginning "the sole drift of Prospero's purpose extended not a frown further than their penitence." He did not at the moment of Ariel's suggestion discover suddenly that "the rarer action is in virtue than in vengeance," for in Act III Ariel had announced to the "three men of sin" that heart's sorrow and a clear life ensuing—the best definition of Repentance to be found in all Christian literature—could guard them from the wrath of the powers, and these powers be it remembered were working in harmony with the purposes of Prospero. In truth, the utmost that Prospero does under the veil of his art is to deliver over these offenders to the natural consequences of their lives. Stephano, Caliban and Trinculo are afflicted with aches, pains and cramps but these are the natural concomitants of their bestial habits. The Tempest itself is but the analogue of the moral turmoil within the souls of those servants of sin. The supernaturalism of this play is indeed most natural. The thought is expressed in the familiar scripture "whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap." In the play we see the softer attribute of mercy stealing in through the avenue of penitence. Prospero, "touched with the feeling of their infirmities," forgives his enemies, breaks his magician's wand and "drowns his book deeper than did ever plummet sound."
The foregoing contains all that is essential to the moral of "The Tempest." What now, is the general effect upon our moral consciousness, of these considerations? Are our moral demands satisfied? Has the "Tempest" subsided and is our treasure safe? Uuquestionably these questions are to be answered in the affirmative. "The Tempest" was raised that it might be allayed. It was raised by Power against Sin upon the demand of Justice. It was calmed by the same Power in view of Penitence, upon the demand of Love. Says Victor Hugo,
280
Kansas University Weekly.
"The Tempest is the supreme denouement dreamed by Shakespeare for the bloody drama of Genesis. It is the expiation of the primordial crime. At the close of the piece when the poet touched by emotion, throws Antonio into the arms of Prospero, he has made Cain pardoned by Abel." Garnett expresses the matter thus,—"Above and behind the fascination of the plot and the poetry, we behold Power and Right evenly paired and working together; and the justification of Providence, producing that sentiment of repose and acquiescence which is the object and test of every true work of art." These two extracts though diverse in expression are one in thought, and although the attempt may seem rather rash for an amateur Shaksperian, we will endeavor to unite these in a form of expression which so far as we are aware, has not been suggested. We have in this play Shakespeare, the Theologian, a man intimately acquainted both with God's "Elder" and his "Younger Scriptures" and therefore able to harmonize Natural with Biblical Theology. In the Tempest we have Shakespeare's conception of the moral government of the world and the mode of human redemption. Nature itself lends its forces to the execution of moral law. Ariel speaking to the offenders says that—"Destiny uses this lower world and what it contains as instruments. * * I and my fellows are ministers of Fate. * * The Tempest was raised by the powers (delaying not forgetting) in requital for their treatment of Prospero." The moral law is thus seen not to be something let down from above in the form of a revelation but something inwoven with the very texture of the world. Therefore the test of any revelation claiming to be divine would be its agreement with the nature of things in the world to which the revelation comes. Revelation merely explicates the eternal laws which are unceasingly operative in the world. It is God's commentary upon the "Book of Nature." Judged by this standard Shakespeare's treatment of the subject is in wonderful agreement of the facts. Indeed it were difficult to say whether he drew more largely from the Bible or from his own knowledge of Nature and the human heart. He shows the entire organization of the world to be upon the side of the good and upright man. What is this but the theistic optimism which says,—"All things work together for good to those who love the Lord."

Nearly Drowned.
While bathing in the Wakarusa with a number of friends last Sunday afternoon, Herbert Wing became exhausted and sank four times before his friends realized the situation and could bear him aid. He did not rise the fifth time but was taken from the bottom and carried ashore where he was unconscious for several minutes. Careful and vigorous work on the part of his companions soon restored him and he is now receiving the congratulations of friends on his narrow escape.
Freshmen Dance.
The members of the Freshman class held their second party last Saturday night at Library hall. A goodly number of the class were in attendance and the evening was much enjoyed by all. While the chief amusement was dancing, cards, crokinole and other games were provided for those who did not care to dance. The music was furnished by Saunder's orchestra and punch was served to refresh the thirsty. The parties given by this class have both been very successful and are of no little value in creating and maintaining a strong class spirit.
Club Picnic.
The Tomlinson club drove out to Deichman's crossing on the Wakarusa, Saturday afternoon, in the tallyho, returning by moonlight at 11 p.m. The party was composed of the Misses Emma and Sue Gearing, Cavin, Case, Bowen, Gephart, Tomlinson, Pollman, and Soxman, and the Messrs. Snyder, Lang, Brown, Souder, Miller, Smith, Myers, Grimes and Upham. All report a very pleasant time.

Y. W. C. A. Picnic.
That college girls know how to have a good time was proven at the spread given last Saturday afternoon by the Y. W. C. A. in honor of the Seniors. The table, which was spread on the campus in front of Snow Hall, groaned in self-complacence, and the classic atmosphere sharpened the appetites of the feasters. Miss Stone made an admirable toastmaster. The first toast, Our Seniors, was given by Miss McGregor, and responded to by Miss Warren. Miss Hickey told of the possibilities of vacation, when a young woman's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love, and Miss Lewelling expatiated on the Joys and Sorrows of the Lunch Room. To Miss Starr was assigned the subject of Recollections of University Life—what they will be to the post-graduate. Miss Woodman spoke of the Spirit of Good Fellowship, which was so happily exemplified in the assembled company. Miss Snow, the president of the association, made a very pleasing extemporaneous speech.
The Pavilion Party.
The Kappa Kappa Gammas entertained their gentlemen friends at a very pleasant pavilion party last Monday night at the home of Mr. J. D. Bowersock. The lawn presented a most attractive appearance, rows of chinese lanterns and other lights being stretched from tree to tree and settees and hammocks distributed throughout the yard. The pavilion was very tastefully decorated with the fraternity colors and flowers. Rugs and carpets were spread upon the tennis court adjoining the pavilion from a grotto in the corner of which ices were served. Buch's orchestra furnished music for the dancing, which was kept up until a late
hour. The out-of-town guests were Misses Emma Shephard, of Burlingame, May Burwell, of Wichita, Conie Bear of Paola and Sampson of Salina.

Chapel Notes.
Dr. Cordley has been the leader this week. Monday's subject was the lightness of the burden that we take up from a sense of duty, and the comparative ease of a life full of work over that which feels no demands upon it.
Tuesday's subject was the true basis of honor seen in service, not in authority; Wednesday's, the breadth of our nature and the necessity of cultivating all sides of it.
Prof. Cowan took Dr. Cordley's place Thursday morning.

Weekly Board Meeting.
The editorial board for next year met in room eleven, Wednesday noon in pursuance to a call issued by the editor-in-chief. Miss Pauline Lewelling and Mr.Percy J. Parrott resigned from the board and Miss Josephine Shellabarger and Mr. Alfred Parrott were elected their successors.
The following positions were then filled, in some cases by election and in others by appointment: Associates to the Editor-in-Chief, Walter H. Sanford and W. W. Douglas; Literary Editor, Miss Ethel A. Hickey; Associates, Miss Josephine Shellabarger and Miss Eleanora Gephart; Local Editor, Carl L. Cooper; Associates, Archie Hogg, Alumni; Tom Charles, Law; John M. Lee, Engineering; R. G. McKinnie, Athletics; Alva Souder, Exchanges; Gertrude Chapman and Alfred Parrott, Arts; Managing Editor, C. E. Rose; Associate, P. S. Elliott; Art Editor, Prof. A. H. Clark. The new management intend to improve the paper in many ways and have several plans under consideration for that effect. It is hoped to make next year one of the most successful in the history of the paper.
Practical Sociology.
One of the busiest classes in the University at this time is the one studying Practical Sociology under Professor Blackmar. The class is occupied in preparing and reading reports upon the different subjects assigned to each member. The work comprehends every phase of social life and conditions.
The course in sociology extends through the entire year. The first term of the year is devoted to a study of the principles underlying the development and growth of societies. During this term Gidding's, Ward, Kidd and others of the most eminent writers on such subjects, are studied and discussed. The first part of the second term is given to a thorough study of Warner on American Charities. Mr. Warner is the most able and reliable authority in the United States on this subject. During the last part of the second term each student is expected to make a practical application of the principles learned during the preliminary work. To this end each one is given some phase of Social Pathology for original investigation. As illustrative of the breadth of the field covered, there have been among the reports already given: A Study of the Causes of Social Degeneration, by Messrs. Belcher and Ringle. In their preparation these gentlemen explored that notorious part of Kansas City known as "Hell's Half Acre." Mr. Rohrer has read a paper on Criminal Psychology, the result of original investigation among the prisoners confined at our state penitentiary. Mr. Harold Smith reported upon the social condition of Little Italy, the Italian portion of the population of Kansas City. His report was based upon facts learned from an investigating tour of that part of the city. The topic assigned Miss Shire, and reported upon, was Hospital and Scientific Nursing, while Miss Lewelling made a study of the management of Reform Schools, using the schools of Kansas and Iowa as models.
These are only a few examples of what is being done by the class. The papers and reports are all good and show much thought and original research. Each report is always followed by a thorough discussion, thus bringing out every phase of the question.
The work of the class this year has proved very satisfactory to Professor Blackmar. At the same time the students in that department find in this study a most interesting and valuable one. As a result the number of students taking up this line of work is constantly increasing. Indeed its practical value is being manifested every day as the social problems of our complex civilization continually increase.

Alumni Notes.
G. R. Albers, engineer, '96, who has been teaching in the Yale-Princeton school at Chicago, drifted back to Lawrence last week.
From Harvard. James H. Patten, '96, expects to go abroad after the session closes at Harvard in June. Thornton Cooke,'93, also intends to spend the summer in Europe, and in the fall will take up his work again in the bank of Herington. Upon his return, Mr. Patten will probably resume his studies at Harvard for another year. Chas. S. Griffin,'94, will spend the summer at Cambridge. R.W.Cone,'95 will return to his home at Seneca, Kas., for the summer.
As time passes Columbia College becomes more and more popular with our graduates, due no doubt, to the incomparable equipment of that institution in certain lines. Last fall C.I. McClung,'96, took advanced work there in Cytology, Comparative Neurology and Physiology. Chas.H.Johnson,'92,is a nurse in Marien Symmes hospital, conducted in connection with Columbia. Albert Fullerton,'93, is in the law school, and Fred.M.Raymond,'96 is doing post-graduate work in the academic departments.
M. E. Hickey, '93, is in Lawrence for the summer. The Winfield high school, of which he has been principal for the past two years, closed last week.
By the time this goes to press V. L. Kellogg, '89, associate professor of entomology, and W. A. Snow, '91, of Leland Stanford Jr. University, will have arrived in Kansas from California. Mr. Kellogg expected to stop off at Emporia with his parents for a visit before coming to Lawrence. He leaves this country for a year's study abroad in June. Mr. Snow will remain in Lawrence for a few weeks' vacation, and will then return to Leland Stanford to resume work.
H. F. M. Bear, '90, has been re-elected superintendent at Wellington, and T. W. Butcher, 94, principal of high school.
D. H. Wilson, Law '93, has been appointed assistant U. S. district attorney in northern district of Indian Territory. Pliny L. Soper, Arts 81, is the U. S. district attorney.
C. C. Brown, '96, came over from Olathe on his wheel Thursday. Will stay around until after commencement, then return to Olathe.
Adelia A. Humphrey, '95, of Sedalia, Mo., is in town for a short time.
G. I. Adams, '93, reached Lawrence Friday morning. Mr. Adams has been doing work in paleontology and geology abroad. He spent the winter at Munich, and did a month's work each in the museums at Paris and London.
Athletic Notes.
The Seniors won the Junior-Senior game. Score 11 to 8.
The Betas defeated the Phi Psis in first final game of the inter-fraternity games.
The regular team goes to Lincoln, Neb., on the 28th, to play the Nebraska University.
Every one should see the Baker vs K. U. game tomorrow. Butchart the phenomenal college pitcher, who has proven so effective against other teams, will be in the box for the visitors.
SENIORS VS FACULTY.
The annual game between the Seniors and Faculty of the University proved the greatest drawing card of the season. Bulletins containing information as to the condition of players and as to probable results were posted every fifteen minutes during the forenoon session. The encitement reached its height when the Seniors with their purple and white aprons galloped into the field and Umpire Moody called "play ball" in a "do or die" tone of voice. The largest crowd of the season filled the grand stand, and coaching parties including the gorgeously decorated tally-ho containing the "better-halves" of the faculty team covered the field. Prof. Gimmy Green the faculty captain was accorded a tumultuous ovation as he with dignified men plucked a willow wand from the earth and perambulated up to the plate to smite the leathern sphere which two grave and reverend seniors were hurling between them with terrific speed. But it was not to be, and the

aged captain took a walk to first base on balls. But there were others, who could not or would not impose on the worthy Seniors and who did with malice aforethought and with savage twinklings in their eyes, swing their bats to meet and crush the circling sphere. But Blackmar and Clark went out. Green became tangled in a knotty problem of law and paused in his mad career between second and third and was put out.
And so the game went on, each play causing roars from the assembled multitude. Cowan proved himself to be a sprinter of undeveloped merit in catching Alder in attempt to regain third base. Blake hid the ball up his sleeve and caught McMurray napping at first. Adams advertised for shin guards for next year's game. Marvin's mathematical judgment served him well in running bases. The final score was twenty to thirteen in favor of the Seniors.
K. U. VS MANHATTAN.
K. U. won the game with the Kansas Agricultural College by a score of nine to six. It was a game to suit the fans. Every body hit the ball and the 'Varsity won the game simply by its superior fielding. Green for the visitors and Stanley for the home team pitched a weak game. Grigg's work at bat and in the field was the feature of the game. A good erowd was in attendance.
Mathematical Models.
The University has just received from L. Brill, of Darmstadt, Germany, a shipment of mathematical models for the department of mathematics. These fine models with one or two exceptions are made of plaster of Paris and are very handsome. They will be used chiefly for the purpose of illustrating the work of solid analytical geometry, theory of curves and surfaces, and in the theory of functions.
There are seventeen pieces as follows: Elliptic cone, hyperboloid of two sheets, confocal surfaces of second order; each showing the lines of curvature. A triaxial ellipsoid and an ellipsoid of rotation, each showing the geodetic lines. Two surfaces of constant positive curvature showing lines of curvature; one surface
with constant negative curvature, on which two kinds of geodetic lines are marked in green and red; four minimal surfaces, or surfaces of constant mean curvature, each having marked the geodetic lines. Two string models of ruled surfaces of the third order, one of these is the Calley surface. Three models of types of Reimann's surfaces for use in the theory of functions.
This set of models is a valuable addition to the equipment of the department of mathematics and will be of great help to the advanced students of mathematics.
The Graduate Department.
The growing number of graduate students and the increasing importance of that part of the university work have led to the organization of a graduate school, the Faculty of which will in the future have charge of all work for the higher degrees. The result of the change is to separate the graduate work more definitely from the undergraduate, and give greater distinctness to the requirements for the higher degrees, including that af A.M., a real meaning and value. A statement of the conditions of admission to the Graduate School and of the courses of study offered in it is contained in the new catalog. It will be interesting reading for Seniors.

How to Make Money.
Students and others who wish to improve their time profitably while in school or during the summer months, should take an agency for Everybody's Dictionary, vest pocket size. This little dictionary contains over 33,000 words and
is the most useful book published. One man has sold more than 1,500 copies. It makes a splendid "side line" in connection with other business. Write for catalogue and terms, to The Practical Text Book Co., Cleveland, Ohio.
Exchange Notes.
The honors in the recent Interstate oratorical contest held at Columbia, Mo., were awarded as follows: Missouri first, Colorado second, and Minnesota third.
The college year at the University of Chicago is divided up into quarters. Three of these constitute a year's work and in this manner the students can choose their own vacation time. When the professors teach steadily for three full years they are allowed a year's absence on full pay.—Ex.

A vast improvement over last year in the work of the Oratorio Society was noticeable last Wednesday night.
THE EXPERIMENT of holding public commencement recitals of the School of Music at
University Hall has proven eminently successful.
KANSAS HAS always been prominent in athletics, but it has neglected one branch thereof for which it has excellent facilities. Boating, as a college sport, has never been popular here. Occasional vain attempts have been made to arrange regattas. We ought to have a crew. Other inland colleges have them, and give them royal support. Our boating course is par excellence; our athletic rank among the colleges would insure us recognition as oarsmen. Rowing ought to be very popular with some of our foot ball men. After their season they are apt to become inactive in athletics. Boating might induce them to work themselves out a little in the spring. We trust that next year the Athletic Association may see fit to take up the "crew" idea.
A NOTEWORTHY publication of recent date is a map of the vicinity of Lawrence, issued by the Kansas University Country Club. The purpose of this club is by this time well known. The publication of a county map attests in part the fact that the organization has realized its end. The map is a "descriptive guide, pointing out many of the chief places of natural or historical interest." It is published in small folder form and is very neat and simple. In a note appended it is requested that all who are in any way interested in the Country Club and its work shall send in such information as will lend to the improvement of the map. Corrections are also solicited. The first edition of five hundred copies is about exhausted and the second edition will be on sale before the close of the term. The original map will soon be

hung in the hallway of the Main Building. The Country Club has become a university fixture.
THE FOLLOWING from the editorial columns of the Kansas City Star is a gratifying testimonial and a frank expression of a prevalent sentiment regarding Kansas University in its relation to Kansas City, Mo.: Kansas City has always taken a deep interest in the University of Kansas at Lawrence, and has always been represented in the body of students there. In Kansas City a large number of Kansas University men find their homes and vocations. Among the universities sought by graduates of the Kansas City High School the Kansas institution ranks with Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Michigan. General gratification will, therefore, be felt at the announcement that the third graduate scholarship in Latin, established by Prof. Holmes of the Kansas University, has
just been endowed by Kansas City business men. The two other scholarships are the David H. Robinson scholarship, named in honor of the first Latin professor of the university, and the Lawrence citizens' scholarship, each paying $100 a year for five years. The Kansas City scholarship pays $200 a year for the period of five years, when it expires by limitation. The scholarships are open to those students who have taken their baccalaureate degree from the University of Kansas or any other institution of recognized standing, or to those students whose previous Latin training shall justify their appointment and who are looking forward to one of the higher degrees. Appointments are made by the Chancellor and Board of Regents of the University of Kansas, and needed preliminary information can be obtained on application to the University."

Dale Weston's Clue.
A clatter in the hallway was followed by a heavy blow on the door, and Dale Weston burst into his friend's office exclaiming, "Confound it, Doc, why don't you make 'em keep that hall lighted at night? Folks 'll think you want people to break their bones so that you can get more practice. Between the dark passages and the bad sidewalks in this town, a fellow takes his life in his hands when he goes to see a friend."
"Hello, Dale, it's you, is it? I thought it was a cyclone. Take a chair and state your symptoms. Let me see your tongue; I'm afraid it is being over-worked these days. How's your heart? Been to see a 'friend,' I believe you said. You must take more sleep; these cases are apt to become chronic, and —"
"O, 'ring off,' old Saw-bones; I was thinking I had a friend here when I concluded to stop, but I find only a candidate for the lunatic asylum —"
"First rate symptom. Feel natural when you found yourself?"
"As if anybody but a 'jay' could feel natural in such a blamed town as this;" said Dale giving up the fight. "What are you doing in your office at this time of night? I saw your light and like to broke my neck coming to look after your welfare."
"I see. Head in the clouds all evening; a little dazed yet; wait until I finish this batch of medical reports of the new lodge, and I'll take you home. By the way, when can you come around for your examination?"
"To-morrow. I'm going up North the first of the week."
“Be gone long?”
Dale folded his arms, leaned back in his chair and gazed critically at the ceiling before replying. Presently he said, "Well no, not more than sixty or seventy years at the farthest. This will be a good place in which to be buried, I imagine."
"Dale Weston, I believe, by Hippocrates you are crazy. What do you mean?"
Kansas University Weekly.
295
"I mean," was the deliberate answer, "that my well-beloved uncle, the lumber-king, has offered me the position of Lord High Boss in one of his lumber-camps and I am going to take it."
"But I thought you always expected to be promoted to the position of manager of the lumber-yard here at home."
"He offered me my choice. There's better pay up North, and, as I do not care a rap for this town or its people, I'm going to rough it awhile."
"Now I know that you are crazy—a fool— to sacrifice the start you have made here in your native town. Everybody knows you and respects you for what you made of your opportunities. There is not a business man in town but what acknowledges your clear judgment and good sense in business matters; and the dear mammas were always praising your kindness and thoughtfulness till the rest of us fellows used to feel like mobbing you; and the young ladies—now there's Miss Stelland: if Madame Rumor—"
Dale's chair came down with a bang. "Hang Madam Rumor!" he almost shouted. Straightening up he continued, "a fellow can't go with a girl twice in succession in this town but he's in love with her, and three times is as good as an engagement because all the rest of the young folks withdraw and leave a clear field. I never saw another such a set of weak-minded people paired off, even down to the school-children. Marrying and giving in marriage seem to be 'the chief end of man' in this town. Now Miss Stelland is a nice girl and has good sense, and she appreciates my efforts when I try to make her vacation here as pleasant as possible—a fellow'd be a brute not to take pity on a girl thrown among such 'spoony' people—but that's no reason why they should set our wedding day next June, just after she graduates, is it?"
"N-no, I guess not," replied his friend meekly "but then I have not made such a careful study of our society as you seem to have done. I had no idea that you were making such a martyr of yourself to uphold your native town during the visit of Miss Stelland. But I must finish these reports to-night without fail. There's the last
magazine, I'll be ready to go home in a half an hour or so."
Dale got up and went over to the window to look out; nothing but blackness. He turned and crossed the room to examine his friend's diploma; but he had seen it so often that he knew the Latin words by heart, and so, in a moment he was on the go again. Nothing in the room could hold his attention and after awhile he was merely pacing up and down the room, head bowed and arms folded.
"What's the matter with you to-night, Dale?"
what's the matter with you to-night, Dale?" "Nothing," said Dale with a start; "I'm just in a hurry to get home; that's all." And throwing himself into an easy chair, he picked up the magazine and began listlessly to turn the leaves. Soon some fragmentary conversation caught his eye and his face lighted up. He read to the bottom of the page but instead of turning to the next he went back to the beginning of the story. Settling himself comfortably in the chair he was soon lost to his surroundings.
"Ready to go, Dale?"
"Um hum" came from the depths of the chair but was followed by no movement on the part of the occupant. Seeing his friend so absorbed in the magazine, the doctor leaned back in his office chair, placed his feet carefully on the desk before him and proceeded to make himself comfortable while waiting for the story to come to an end. He was just beginning to doze when he was aroused by the sound of something falling to the floor. Dale with hands clasped behind his head was lying back in his chair gazing thoughtfully at the ceiling. On the floor at his side lay the magazine where it had fallen when it slipped from his lap.
"Did they get married?"
Dale started violently. "Oh! the story? No; he went off to Africa and died, and she devoted the rest of her life to charity. Have you read it?" I've been busy since it came."
"No; I've been busy since it came."
"I wish that you had. I'd like to have your opinion of the—the characters. You have studied literature."
"And you have studied human nature in general and the society of our town in particular.
296
Kansas University Weekly.
An author could do no more. So what is your own opinion of the characters ?"
"I thought the fellow seemed about right but I am not so sure of the girl."
"Why not?"
"Well you see," began Dale slowly, "the fellow regarded her as almost an angel and wondered if it would be possible for her to love such a fellow as he was. So while he hesitated to press his suit for fear of precipitating a refusal, he could not altogether give up hope. All he wanted was a clue of some kind, and at last he hit upon the plan of telling her that he was going to Johannesburg to seek his fortune, and watching her closely to note the effect of the news. If she should seem troubled by the information, he stood ready to give up the trip for her sake, otherwise he had just as lief go as stay. She listened very calmly to his story and wished him success in his venture. The poor fellow was so badly used up that he really made up his mind to go to Africa and was soon on the way. She received a good many offers of marriage after
that but refused them all and when there came tidings of this fellow's death from fever, she withdrew from society and devoted her life to the relief of the poor. Now what is your opinion?"
"Just the opposite of yours," replied the doctor. "I think that her character is consistent; but if his is, he was a fool; that's all. But it's midnight; let's get out of here."
On the way home the doctor did most of the talking, trying to persuade Dale to give up the idea of going North. Dale had very little to say until they reached the doctor's gate, when he proposed a bargain. Dale was to accept the home lumber-yard and the doctor was to promise never to tell anyone of the intention Dale had had of accepting the position up North. The doctor thought the arrangement a little strange, but he was so well pleased with the success of his arguments in favor of the home town that he readily agreed, and the bargain was closed. W.W.D.

The Senior play will be given next Wednesday night and will doubtless be greeted by the crowded house that it merits. The play itself is very amusing being replete with hits at the faculty, students and the last legislature. The fact that Miss Brown is in charge of its presentation is a guarantee that it will be properly acted.
A. Correction.
In writing out the cast of the Senior play from memory a most unfortunate mistake was made in omitting the name of Miss Edith M. Davis who plays the most touching "Ophelia" imaginable. Miss Smith has not the part of Ophelia, as given, but is an original and enterprising barber named "Delilah."
O. T. HESTER, Mgr.
Junior Ghost Party.
Of all the parties given by University students this year the most novel was that given on Saturday evening the 22nd inst. in Library Hall. It was a reception given to the Seniors by the members of the Junior class. The unique invitations consisting of a hand painting of a skull gave the idea that something out of the usual order was expected. The result proved that none were disappointed. The hall was handsomely decorated, the colors of the Senior class being conspicuous. On a throne at the end of the hall sat Pluto and Proserpina,
and it was only on the command of Pluto that "the spirits" were admitted. The one requirement made of the spirits for admission was that they be masked and attired in white. When admitted they were required to kneel before the throne and then were free to stroll about. At 9:30 all the spirits joined in a grand march. After its close all were seated in a semi-circle before the throne of Pluto and Proserpina. The lights were then turned off and it was at that time that Library Hall witnessed the most ghastly scene of its existence. Seated in the centre of the group of "spirits" Professor Dunlap told an original ghost story which "brought down the house." At 10:15 masks were removed, after which refreshments were served and games and dancing occupied the remainder of the evening. Music was furnished throughout the evening by Saunder's orchestra.
The Pi Phi Reception.
Thirty years ago this spring, seven young women at Monmouth College, Monmouth, Ill., founded the organization now known as the Pi Beta Phi fraternity. Though it suffered the disadvantage of being the pioneer Greek Letter Society among women, it flourished and grew rapidly, until it now numbers twenty-seven chapters scattered from the Atlantic to the Pacific, including some five hundred and fifty active members. The Chapter in Kansas State University, Kansas Alpha, was established in 1873, Miss Hannah Oliver, Mrs. Gertrude Boughton Blackwelder, and Mrs. L. H. Perkins being among the charter members.
The thirtieth anniversary of "Founder's Day" was fitly celebrated last Saturday by a reception tendered to the active Chapter by the Alumnae and other resident members of the fraternity, at the home of Mrs. Schmidtmeyer. After a dainty lunch, toasts were proposed and responded to by Mrs. Wilcox, Mrs. Allen of Kansas City, Miss Warren, Miss Hutchinson and Mrs. Spangler. Miss Josephine March read letters sent for the occasion, by Mrs. Nellie Bay Raymond of Troy, N. Y., and Mrs. Flora

Hadley Little of Whittier, California, both members of Kansas Alpha. An interesting part of the entertainment was the inspection of an album, containing pictures of the graduate members of the Chapter, collected recently, to be placed among the memorabilia of the fraternity. Those attending the reception from out of town were Miss Ethel Beecher Allen of Kansas City, Mrs. Belle Roberts Armstrong of Topeka, and Miss Mary Frost of Topeka, Kansas.

Y., and at Hutchison, and a Study of Bad Boys by Mr. Schutt; The Status of Prohibition in Kansas, Mr. Osborn; The Education of the Blind in Kansas, Miss Gardner; Homes for Working Girls in Large
Cities, Miss Gephart; A Practical Study of Prison Management, Mr. Thomas; and Heredity and Social Degeneration,Mr.Edwards.
The House Boat on the Styx.
There is a very unusual amount of interest in the Senior Play this year. This has been heretofore one of the most successful events of the school year, but the play this year promises to surpass by far any former attempt in that line. In the first place, John Kendrick Bangs' conception was one of the most original and novel and laughably incongruous things that has appeared in recent years. Then the class was very fortunate in the able committee selected to heighten the effect and add point and application by dramatizing it so as to advance the date and take in characters now interesting. Prof. Kilrox and Scipio Africanus discuss the prize fight between Sampson and Goliath in a taking off of Ingalls, his critics, and the local character that is a piece of artistic work entirely above amateur standards. This was written by Richard Price and Robert Everett. Baron Dychehausen, Senator Jumper and Pauline Lewellings' "Zantippi" are equally able.
Manager Hester has been besieged for advance tickets for three weeks and it has been generally rumored that a fancy price would be charged, but the play is so entirely popular, the actors have so many friends and are so well known, and there is no money making object so the price has been left at fifty cents. The class is lucky in the number of members who have been prominent in such work, notably Harold Smith, Arthur Falloon and Harry Kohn, the two last being among the most important characters in the "Tempest." The night of the play how ever, will reveal the fact that there are a number of bright graduates whose talent has not been known. Miss Brown is very enthusiastic and the class is working hard to have everything in shape for the grand presentation next Wednesday night, June 2.

The University is well represented in the State Pharmaceutical Association meeting at Junction City this week. Profs. Sayre and Bailey left Tuesday taking with them a number of papers on medical and chemical subjects by students and members of the Faculty. The end of this college year shows more original investigation than ever before. This department of work is beginning to make itself felt.

The Senior Play.
On Wednesnay, June 2nd will be presented the long looked for Senior Play—"The House Boat on the Styx." This is a dramatization of the story of that title by John Kendrick Bangs. The play however is considerably more than a mere adaptation. Merely the plot and setting of the original story have been used, and additions and variations have been freely introduced. The scene will be laid in the year 1950, and the shades of some well-known personages of to-day
300
Kansas University Weekly.
will make their appearance together with the famous historical characters of the past. Some of the University professors will be introduced, the Populist legislators Senator Jumper in particular will receive their share of attention, and an attempt will be made to make it interesting for everybody with local allusions and adaptations. The Seniors have been working hard on this play, and will put it on the stage with all the necessary accessories of scenery and costuming. The mere fact that it is given under the direction of Miss Georgia Brown is a sufficient guarantee that the performance will be excellent. Miss Brown herself says it is the best Senior Play that was ever put on the stage in Lawrence. The Seniors will undoubtedly have a crowded house.
Athletic Notes.
There is a probability of another game with the Indians before the close of school.
Several games are being arranged for Commencement week, on the home grounds.
K. U. will meet Ft. Leavenworth in two games, one at Leavenworth and the other here.
The Phi Gam-Beta game which was to have taken place last Thursday afternoon has been postponed to next week on account of rain.
Manager Fletcher is endeavoring to arrange a game with either Missouri or Nebraska to be played on McCook Field. He promises at least two games during Commencement week.
The base ball team left for Lincoln, Nebraska, last Friday. They are to play five games away from home. At Ft. Leavenworth, Lincoln, Manhattan and Topeka, returning to Lawrence on Tuesday.
The members of the base ball team left Friday morning at 7:30 o'clock on their northern trip. They played a game in Atchison yesterday and are playing a game with Nebraska today. On the return trip they meet the State Agricultural College nine at Manhattan Monday afternoon. The team is in excellent condition and is expected to vanquish all its opponents.
K. U. VS. WASHBURN.
The Kansas University ball team played a tie game with the Washburn club at Athletic Park in Topeka. The game was called in the fifth inning on account of rain. Stricklett pitched a good game striking out seven men in five inning. Stanley pitched an unusually good game. Keeler the Haskell catcher was behind the bat, on account of Curry's injured thumb. A return game is being arranged for.
BAKER VS. K. U.
The 'Varsity defeated their old rivals from Baker by the one sided score of 16 to 7 in the game played last Monday on McCook Field. The visitors went to pieces in the first inning, allowing K. U. to score 6 runs. Butchart was in the box for the visitors. The home secured 14 hits off his delivery. His support was decidedly ragged however. The Methodists were not able to bunch their hits on Stanley and secured but 7 during the game. The 'Varsity team played together at all times and several sensational plays were made. Todd's brilliant stop of Butchart's sharp drive to the infield and Swett's single handed catch of a foul in the seventh inning were the features. Carroll with four hits, two runs, four assists, and one put out was first with Sherman a close second as to general average. Blackshere's work at bat together with a record of five stolen based made him a ready favorite. Peters took Stanley's place in the box in the seventh inning. Housh retired from the game. Archie Hogg and Lieut. Smith of Baker umpired the game.

The leader will receive $60 a semester, every other upper classman member $15 a semester, and each member $6 a semester, for the rental of his instrument, if he has one.
