NEW STUDENTS: Bring your ambition, your genius, your working clothes and a new necktie, but don't hide your enthusiasm in a band box.
UNIVERSITY CATALOGUES are gladly sent free on application to the Chancellor.
THE HALF-TONES and zinc etchings for the monthly illustrated edition of the WEEKLY will be made at the University by Mr. Frank Marcey.
LET YOUR individuality alone, and it will take care of itself—if you have any. If you haven't any get some. But do not join any University organization whose tendency is to check it or kill it. The world has enough kindling in it already to light the fires of hell.
THERE MAY be wasting genius in the lowland cornfields and upland prairies of Kansas. It ought to make one sad, that story of the unseen blushes of the flower. Desert air and wasted sweetness. If one kind watcher could only have seen the blushing sweetness blossom into loveliness!
WE MIGHT give some timely advice to the prospective new student, but there are so many of him and the assortment so varied, that to a man on a farm there is but one piece of advice strictly applicable to every case. We are glad to say that this will cover the worst felt need of the Freshman. Subscribe for the WEEKLY.
It is a paying investment to become a member of the Athletic Association. The dues are only two dollars, and this admits you to all athletic contests on McCook field. To one not holding a membership ticket the aggregate admissions to base ball, toot ball and field contests amount to between six and ten dollars for the year. A membership also gives you a voice in the management.

AFTER THE noise and worry and confused excitement of the recitation room and the crowded halls what a relief when a good or bad day's work is ended to pass an hour away in the peace of the quiet country, within the cooling walls of the Spooner library building. There you enjoy the silence, experience the delights of an explorer after the odd and rare volumes in the stack, feel the luxury of original study or research, or spend an idle hour not idly and in vain with some poet, novelist or essayist of the immortal great. This is incidental pleasure for general culture.
WITH THE opening of school in September there promises a year of enthusiasm. The wave started in the spring with a base ball revival. Then toward the close of school came news that Dr. Woodruff had consented to coach the foot ball team this fall and make eastern veterans out of Kansas raw material. And now the Athletic association promises a game with the champions of the northwest, or, failing in that, we are to meet old Pennsylvania herself. Surely athletics flourish and interest in athletics creates university spirit and enthusiasm. Enthusiasm means vitality and push.
It is to be regretted that Nebraska saw fit to evade, Missouri and Iowa to overlook entirely the questions propounded by the Madison conference of college presidents. Surely sincerity in the desire to promote purity in amateur athletics would have counselled an affirmative
answer to each of the questions and a prompt adoption of the Chicago modified rules. That, of the Universities represented at the conference, Kansas was the only one to do this speaks well for her purpose of maintaining the spirit of true amateur sport. We hope that the action of Nebraska and the failure to act of Missouri and Iowa does not mean that they countenance professionalism in their football elevens or even are impassive in the matter.
THE FACT that the originators of the Lotus will shape the policy of the Weekly next year is creating keen anticipation. The Lotus, while it was of the University of Kansas, a pleasure toy for young talent, before it became the idol of the literary tyro, stood for polite satire, the aesthetic, and dreams. It announced no purpose, proclaimed no mission, for it had none,—save to give a grateful typographical setting to idle essays and sketches by college men and women. But its evident lack of purpose was appreciated. It was received and accepted of the eastern cult and the West knew it no more. Perhaps this was well. Anyway its first editors do not promise that the monthly illustrated issue of the Weekly will be a second edition of the rare numbers of the Lotus. That would be bold indeed. But whatever their promises we may expect some pleasing innovations. The new editors have the confidence of the University public and the retiring board wish them success.

Some people are curious to know how Klondyke got its name. The World has had an expert to look it up and he says that the name has a double origin.

Resignation of Dr. Holmes.
Shortly after the close of the last school term Prof. D.H. Holmes resigned his position as professor of Latin in the University and accepted a similar position in a New York school. Although Prof. Holmes has been connected with the University but a short time he has improved the work of the Latin department very materially. Through his energy three scholarships have been secured, a paper devoted to the interests of the Latin department published and a Latin society formed. Dr. Holmes has the very best wishes of his many friends in Kansas University for success in his new field of labor.
The New Latin Teacher.
Prof. Walker has been chosen to fill the chair made vacant by Prof. Holmes's resignation. Mr. Walker is comparatively a young man, being but thirty years old. He has, however, had a good deal of experience in teaching, for after graduating from New York City University in 1887 he taught one year in New York and then again in a normal school in Pennsylvania. He was afterward elected to a fellowship at Vanderbilt University, and there taught the Freshman classes in Latin. He obtained his M. A. while here. In 1892 he was elected professor in Greek and Latin at Emory and Henry College, Virginia. In 1893 he went to Chicago University as a Fellow in Latin and was made assistant in 1894, an associate in 1895, and was this spring elected an instructor for three years. He has his dissertation well in hand and will soon take his Ph. D. In his recommendations which come from such men as Chas. F. Smith, professor of Greek in the University of Wisconsin; Chancellor Kirkland, of Vanderbilt; W. G. Hale, professor of Latin in the University of Chicago, he is described as an energetic, enthusiastic scholar and a successful teacher. As a man his acquaintances do not seem to be able to say enough for him as regards character and personal address. It would seem that Chancellor Snow ought to be congratulated upon his success in securing such a man for the head of our Latin Department.
Civil Engineers in Camp.
The civil engineers of the University have returned from their annual summer camp. This is a surveying expedition required of students of civil engineering. This year the party consisted of nine students and Profs. Marvin and Murphy. They went into camp on Thursday, June 10, and completed their work the 9th of July. The camp was pitched about two miles northeast of town, in a grove of trees about a quarter of a mile from the river. The boys were divided into three squads, two doing field work and the third doing the hydrographical work. The boys worked from eight to ten hours each day, and in the evenings—they did other things. When the work was finished a map was constructed, showing every road, farm house, fence, orchard, etc., as well as the elevation of every point of land in the two sections. The entire work was satisfactory to the instructors in charge and the '97 camp was a success.
Adrian F. Sherman, Law '97.
Adrian F. Sherman, son of Hon. A. C. Sherman of Rossville, who graduated in June from the Kansas University law school, has already scored a hit which indicates that the young man stuck the right gait when he took up the law. He entered the office of Rossington, Smith & Dallass, and in a day or two had a client who was redeeming a piece of real estate under the mortgage redemption law of 1893. The note under which the property was sold provided for 10 per cent. interest after maturity. Lawyer Sherman raised the point in the district court that the mortgagee was entitled to only the legal rate of 6 per cent after the sale of the property by the sheriff. This was a point that had never been raised in any court, and the mortgagee has been collecting 10 per cent. without a question by any one. Mr. Sherman went before Judge Hazen, who at once sustained him and held that only 6 per cent could be collected. In Mr. Sherman's case the difference was about $100. This decision is a very important one, as it affects many foreclosure cases all over the state. --Topeka Mail and Breeze.

The '97 Base Ball Team.
This has been a good year in the history of University base ball. The team has not won all the games it has played, but it has made a favorable showing. Manager Fletcher is especially to be commended in his effort to make the season a success financially. So often heretofore there has been a deficit that it began to be believed that base ball could not be made to pay at Lawrence. This year however is a happy exception and Mr. Fletcher is deserving of praise from those interested in athletics and from the whole University.
Individually the team was a good one. Sherman easily heads the list. He has played center field creditably, is one of the best if not the best of the batters on the team and is the best base runner on the team with Blackshere a close second.
Todd at short stop has played a good game.
He is a little inclined to fight the ball and is a better batter than fielder.
Snyder should rank third in the batting list. He catches well and plays a good field game. His ability as a player was handicapped last season by ill health, but he pluckily refused to cripple the team by retiring as his physician advised.
Carroll has played a good all round game of ball but has been bothered with a bad ankle. He bats fairly well. He will probably show up better next year.
Curry batted better at the end than at the beginning of the season. He has the making of a good catcher but needs to practice throwing to second. At the latter part of the season he was bothered by a sore thumb. He is only fair as a base runner.
Blackshire is one of the star base runners of the team. He bats fairly well. As a third

base man he makes the prettiest throw from 3rd to 1st ever seen on a diamond, the ball hardly rising above his breast when thrown.
Housh is a good utility man. He has played every position on the team except catcher, pitcher and first base man. He has fallen off in his batting though and did not have as good a batting record at the end as at the beginning of the season.
Swett is a phenomenal first base man but a weak batter. He can pitch a good game when necessary as the record with the Leavenworth team testifies.
Griggs played left field with scarcely an error. He throws well from the field. He is an irregular batter, sometimes being exceptionally poor and then again extra good. He is a poor base runner.
Stanley has made a good captain. He understands the game and has pitched good ball. He can kick when necessary. He raises his head in pitching and does not always try to fan men. He has a bad temper which bothers him sometimes and which he ought to learn to control. He is only fair as a batter.
Peters has speed as a pitcher. He can fan men but lacks control of the ball.In the Nebraska game he fanned twelve men but hit five and gave six bases on balls. He is a poor batter. When pitching he keeps his head well
but does not ginger up the team like Stanley. Generally speaking the ball team of'97 was the best all around team Kansas University has had for some time though not the best battery as Gear and Kelsey were better as a battery than either Stanley and Curry or Peters and Snyder.
Foot Ball Player Becomes Politician.
W. E. Mattison, who will be remembered by all old students as a foot ball player of repute at Kansas University some years ago, has entered the fruitful field of politics. For the past few years he has been deputy treasurer of Dickinson county. This year he has been nominated on the populist ticket for county treasurer, and if he runs with the same energy that he played foot ball he is sure of election.

LET YOUR individuality alone, and it will take care of itself—if you have any. If you haven't any get some. But do not join any University organization whose tendency is to check it or kill it. The world has enough kindling in it already to light the fires of hell.
THERE MAY be wasting genius in the lowland cornfields and upland prairies of Kansas. It ought to make one sad, that story of the unseen blushes of the flower. Desert air and wasted sweetness. If one kind watcher could only have seen the blushing sweetness blossom into loveliness!
WE MIGHT give some timely advice to the prospective new student, but there are so many of him and the assortment so varied, that to a man on a farm there is but one piece of advice strictly applicable to every case. We are glad to say that this will cover the worst felt need of the Freshman. Subscribe for the WEEKLY.
It is a paying investment to become a member of the Athletic Association. The dues are only two dollars, and this admits you to all athletic contests on McCook field. To one not holding a membership ticket the aggregate admissions to base ball, foot ball and field contests amount to between six and ten dollars for the year. A membership also gives you a voice in the management.

AFTER THE noise and worry and confused excitement of the recitation room and the crowded halls what a relief when a good or bad day's work is ended to pass an hour away in the peace of the quiet country, within the cooling walls of the Spooner library building. There you enjoy the silence, experience the delights of an explorer after the odd and rare volumes in the stack, feel the luxury of original study or research, or spend an idle hour not idly and in vain with some poet, novelist or essayist of the immortal great. This is incidental pleasure for general culture.
WITH THE opening of school in September there promises a year of enthusiasm. The wave started in the spring with a base ball revival. Then toward the close of school came news that Dr. Woodruff had consented to coach the foot ball team this fall and make eastern veterans out of Kansas raw material. And now the Athletic association promises a game with the champions of the northwest, or, failing in that, we are to meet old Pennsylvania herself. Surely athletics flourish and interest in athletics creates university spirit and enthusiasm. Enthusiasm means vitality and push.
It is to be regretted that Nebraska saw fit to evade, Missouri and Iowa to overlook entirely the questions propounded by the Madison conference of college presidents. Surely sincerity in the desire to promote purity in amateur athletics would have counselled an affirmative
answer to each of the questions and a prompt adoption of the Chicago modified rules. That, of the Universities represented at the conference, Kansas was the only one to do this speaks well for her purpose of maintaining the spirit of true amateur sport. We hope that the action of Nebraska and the failure to act of Missouri and Iowa does not mean that they countenance professionalism in their football elevens or even are impassive in the matter.
THE FACT that the originators of the Lotus will shape the policy of the WEEKLY next year is creating keen anticipation. The Lotus, while it was of the University of Kansas, a pleasure toy for young talent, before it became the idol of the literary tyro, stood for polite satire, the aesthetic, and dreams. It announced no purpose, proclaimed no mission, for it had none,—save to give a grateful typographical setting to idle essays and sketches by college men and women. But its evident lack of purpose was appreciated. It was received and accepted of the eastern cult and the West knew it no more. Perhaps this was well. Anyway its first editors do not promise that the monthly illustrated issue of the WEEKLY will be a second edition of the rare numbers of the Lotus. That would be bold indeed. But whatever their promises we may expect some pleasing innovations. The new editors have the confidence of the University public and the retiring board wish them success.

Resignation of Dr. Holmes.
Shortly after the close of the last school term Prof. D. H. Holmes resigned his position as professor of Latin in the University and accepted a similar position in a New York school. Although Prof. Holmes has been connected with the University but a short time he has improved the work of the Latin department very materially. Through his energy three scholarships have been secured, a paper devoted to the interests of the Latin department published and a Latin society formed. Dr. Holmes has the very best wishes of his many friends in Kansas University for success in his new field of labor.
The New Latin Teacher.
Prof. Walker has been chosen to fill the chair made vacant by Prof. Holmes's resignation. Mr. Walker is comparatively a young man, being but thirty years old. He has, however, had a good deal of experience in teaching, for after graduating from New York City University in 1887 he taught one year in New York and then again in a normal school in Pennsylvania. He was afterward elected to a fellowship at Vanderbilt University, and there taught the Freshman classes in Latin. He obtained his M. A. while here. In 1892 he was elected professor in Greek and Latin at Emory and Henry College, Virginia. In 1893 he went to Chicago University as a Fellow in Latin and was made assistant in 1894, an associate in 1895, and was this spring elected an instructor for three years. He has his dissertation well in hand and will soon take his Ph. D. In his recommendations which come from such men as Chas. F. Smith, professor of Greek in the University of Wisconsin; Chancellor Kirkland, of Vanderbilt; W. G. Hale, professor of Latin in the University of Chicago, he is described as an energetic, enthusiastic scholar and a successful teacher. As a man his acquaintances do not seem to be able to say enough for him as regards character and personal address. It would seem that Chancellor Snow ought to be congratulated upon his success in securing such a man for the head of our Latin Department.
Civil Engineers in Camp.
The civil engineers of the University have returned from their annual summer camp. This is a surveying expedition required of students of civil engineering. This year the party consisted of nine students and Profs. Marvin and Murphy. They went into camp on Thursday, June 10, and completed their work the 9th of July. The camp was pitched about two miles northeast of town, in a grove of trees about a quarter of a mile from the river. The boys were divided into three squads, two doing field work and the third doing the hydrographical work. The boys worked from eight to ten hours each day, and in the evenings—they did other things. When the work was finished a map was constructed, showing every road, farm house, fence, orchard, etc., as well as the elevation of every point of land in the two sections. The entire work was satisfactory to the instructors in charge and the '97 camp was a success.
Adrian F. Sherman, Law '97.
Adrian F. Sherman, son of Hon. A. C. Sherman of Rossville, who graduated in June from the Kansas University law school, has already scored a hit which indicates that the young man stuck the right gait when he took up the law. He entered the office of Rossington, Smith & Dallass, and in a day or two had a client who was redeeming a piece of real estate under the mortgage redemption law of 1893. The note under which the property was sold provided for 10 per cent. interest after maturity. Lawyer Sherman raised the point in the district court that the mortgagee was entitled to only the legal rate of 6 per cent after the sale of the property by the sheriff. This was a point that had never been raised in any court, and the mortgagee has been collecting 10 per cent. without a question by any one. Mr. Sherman went before Judge Hazen, who at once sustained him and held that only 6 per cent could be collected. In Mr. Sherman's case the difference was about $100. This decision is a very important one, as it affects many foreclosure cases all over the state. Topeka Mail and Breeze.

MILFORD
The '97 Base Ball Team.
This has been a good year in the history of University base ball. The team has not won all the games it has played, but it has made a favorable showing. Manager Fletcher is especially to be commended in his effort to make the season a success financially. So often heretofore there has been a deficit that it began to be believed that base ball could not be made to pay at Lawrence. This year however is a happy exception and Mr. Fletcher is deserving of praise from those interested in athletics and from the whole University.
Individually the team was a good one. Sherman easily heads the list. He has played center field creditably, is one of the best if not the best of the batters on the team and is the best base runner on the team with Blackshere a close second.
Todd at short stop has played a good game.
He is a little inclined to fight the ball and is a better batter than fielder.
Snyder should rank third in the batting list. He catches well and plays a good field game. His ability as a player was handicapped last season by ill health, but he pluckily refused to cripple the team by retiring as his physician advised.
Carroll has played a good all round game if ball but has been bothered with a bad ankle. Its fairly well. He will probably show it year.
Curry batted better at the end than at the beginning of the season. He has the making of a good catcher but needs to practice throwing to second. At the latter part of the season he was bothered by a sore thumb. He is only fair as a base runner.
Blackshire is one of the star base runners of the team. He bats fairly well. As a third
342
Kansas University Weekly.
base man he makes the prettiest throw from 3rd to 1st ever seen on a diamond, the ball hardly rising above his breast when thrown.
Housh is a good utility man. He has played every position on the team except catcher, pitcher and first base man. He has fallen off in his batting though and did not have as good a batting record at the end as at the beginning of the season.
Swett is a phenomenal first base man but a weak batter. He can pitch a good game when necessary as the record with the Leavenworth team testifies.
Griggs played left field with scarcely an error. He throws well from the field. He is an irregular batter, sometimes being exceptionally poor and then again extra good. He is a poor base runner.
Stanley has made a good captain. He understands the game and has pitched good ball. He can kick when necessary. He raises his head in pitching and does not always try to fan men. He has a bad temper which bothers him sometimes and which he ought to learn to control. He is only fair as a batter.
Peters has speed as a pitcher. He can fan men but lacks control of the ball. In the Nebraska game he fanned twelve men but hit five and gave six bases on balls. He is a poor batter. When pitching he keeps his head well
but does not ginger up the team like Stanley. Generally speaking the ball team of '97 was the best all around team Kansas University has had for some time though not the best battery as Gear and Kelsey were better as a battery than either Stanley and Curry or Peters and Snyder.
Foot Ball Player Becomes Politician.
W. E. Mattison, who will be remembered by all old students as a foot ball player of repute at Kansas University some years ago, has entered the fruitful field of politics. For the past few years he has been deputy treasurer of Dickinson county. This year he has been nominated on the populist ticket for county treasurer, and if he runs with the same energy that he played foot ball he is sure of election.

WE'LL PLAY LIKE PENNSYLVANIA.
With Doctor Woodruff for Coach and Good Kansas Raw Material, Football Prospects Could Not Be Brighter—The Outlook-Biography of Woodruff-Dr. Woodruff on Football.
THE OUTLOOK.
There has never been a brighter prospect for a foot ball team at Kansas University than there is for this fall. Kansas University has always had good material for a team and this year it will have better material than ever. In addition to having good material there will be the advantage of having Dr. Woodruff as coach fresh from Pennsylvania where he has played guard so brilliantly for the past four years, and from whom much may be expected in the organization and training of the team. He will be far more than merely coach for one season as he is a thorough Kansan and will have the success of the University at heart, not only for this season but also for the future. Then too Prof. Cowan as director of physical culture will be in a position to get out material which might otherwise be lost sight of besides giving his usual assistance to the team. The team will be a strictly non-professional one and will be composed of men who earn the right to their positions by ability and training.
Nearly all of the old players will be back and many new ones who are anxious to get into the game will be here. Voights, Sanderson, Hamill, Moss, Fitzpatrick, Kennedy, Hess and Williams are certain to be at the University and there is a possibility that Walker, Hester, and Nate Foster may conclude not to quit McCook field for another season. Walker who left the University last winter in order to accept a position in Kansas City is ambitious to return to complete his work with the class of 98 and after catching the enthusiasm during his visit last commencement remarked that he should certainly cherish his auburn locks during the summer in order to be in shape should he decide to come back. Hester has always been
desirous of going east to study and in the spring announced in his determined way that that should be his last year at K. U. However, even he is beginning to weaken and his friends may not be surprised to see him in his old position. Many men like Buzzi who are athletically built but have never donned foot ball clothes will be out and ought to make a good showing. Speaks and Jewett with one year's training ought to do well this year. And then there is no better foot ball material than that which is graduated from a Kansas hay field.
In addition to the old players there are many new men who have assured Dr. Woodruff that they would like to play this fall. Among these there is some excellent material. Both Abbott and Davidson who played with Mattison's Abilene team last fall want Pennsylvania coaching and as they are ambitious to secure a University education they will be at K.U. this year. Both will be remembered by all foot ball players as fine men mentally as well as physically and are fully equal to any players who have ever played on McCook field. Day who has also played some foot ball will try for the team and probably Games will come back. Manager Reed and Captain Kennedy are both working hard to make the team a success and both are feeling jubilant.
Dr. Woodruff is especially well pleased with the outlook.. In conversation with a WEEKLY reporter he said:
"I think with hard work and systematic training we will be able to show our superiority over any team in the world not by a slight margin but by a good big score which will gain us recognition both North and West. When we have done this we will try to arrange a game

with the champion team of the Northwest to be played in the Chicago pavillion during the Christmas holidays. We will thus be able to make a showing which will give us standing in the East, especially if we are able to win it, which I think we will be, though of course, there must not be over confidence. And what is the matter" he continued with a knowing look after a thoughtful silence of a few moments, "with our playing a game with Pennsylvania on Pennsy's home grounds next year. I think I can get them to give us a game. It would bring K. U. into prominence in the East. But then next year is a long distance away. We have this season to take care of first. I shall expect hard systematic training. All bad habits must be eschewed until the season is over, as the use of tobacco for instance. No man," he said in a decisive tone, "can hope for a position on the team who does not observe strict training rules. No matter what his ability may otherwise be. There is as good material at K. U. as at Pennsylvania but we must train." Dr. Woodruff does not believe in foot ball for foot ball's sake alone. He believes that there should be a constant effort to raise the tone of athletics and that athletics should be for manly development
and not to show mere brute strength.
"No player" he said, "has time to slug nor do I believe in that kind of work. And remember, whatever you say in the WEEKLY, that I want foot ball players to be good students. Athletics should raise and not lower the standard of scholarship. Any man who plays foot ball can be as good and in fact a better student than the majority of those who do not play if he has the desire to be a student." Dr. Woodruff himself graduated above the center of his class.
With harmonious and united action on the part of the student body and those who are interested in athletics there will be nothing to mar the success of the season. The schedule of league games is as follows: October 30 Kansas vs.Iowa, at Lawrence; October 30 Missouri vs.Nebraska at Lincoln; November 13-Kansas vs.Nebraska at Lincoln; Thanksgiving day—Kansas vs.Missouri at Kansas City.
In addition to the above games Manager Reed expects to arrange games with Ann Arbor, Chicago University, Northwestern University, St. Mary's etc., etc., besides a trip for the team during the Christmas holidays.

DR. WYLIE WOODRUFF.
Dr. Wylie Woodruff who will coach the foot ball team of Kansas University this fall was born in the West thirty-one years ago. He was reared in the east until fourteen years of age when he came to Kansas, spending two
years in the Saline valley where the vigor of the Kansas climate changed him from a boy five feet tall weighing one hundred pounds to a man five feet ten inches in height with a weight of one hundred and sixty-five pounds.
Dr. Woodruff was in Kansas when the state became prohibition and has always been a strong supporter of that principle.In 1882 he entered and spent two years at Mansfield State Normal at Mansfield, Pa., and Wyoming Seminary, Kingston, Pa., preparatory to entering college. While a boy his energy was made manifest in all forms of athletic sports. Compelled to give up his ambition of entering college at once, he came west once more entering active business life to make the wherewith to
first met K. U. helping defeat them in his first game of foot ball by the score of 18 to 10, he playing with the Y. M. C. A. team. Traveling through the state from Kansas City and St. Joe he became a thorough Kansan and decided that this western state should be his home.

DR. WYLIE WOODRUFF.
In September '93 he entered the University of Pennsylvania where he was first thrown into college athletics. As a Freshman he made left guard on 'varsity football team displacing Oliver who held the place but the team was badly captained and did little to recommend itself that year. In January '94 he began rowing and pulled No. 5 for two years and was considered the best oarsman in college when he stopped in '96. Success in foot ball is history and needs no extended comment here. For three years the team knew no defeat except Lafayette last year which amounted to nothing, in fact, except to show how careless a team may become.
In May '96, he began field work and though never having
thrown hammer before came up to one hundred and thirty-three feet and put the shot forty-two feet six inches. Owing to an accident to his wrist he lost the championship that year but won it this year in the meet be-

tween Harvard, Yale and Pennsylvania. He had sole training of McCracken another Kansas man who won first against Harvard in the shot put at forty feet and six inches, and second in hammer throw at 127 feet. Under Dr. Woodruff's training he was able to throw the hammer 134 feet four inches, and put shot forty feet eight inches.
But while Dr. Woodruff has made this enviable record in athletics he has not done it at the expense of his studies. This spring he graduated from the Medical department of Pennsylvania University above the middle of his class. During his course he has never been known to fail in any work he undertook. He has now come back to the state with which he was for a long time identified in order to practice the profession for which he has fitted himself. He will open an office in Lawrence this fall expecting to reside there permanently, and owing to his interest in scientific work will undoubtedly be as great a success as a physician as he has been as an athletic.
DR. WOODRUFF ON FOOT BALL.
Foot ball is the one most manly sport of modern times; a sport that brings out all that is most noble and intellectual in a young man's nature. It takes a keen intellect to grasp all the many changes in resourceful maneuvers of a company of bright, determined men, headed by an older and more experienced coach, whose every effort is bent upon outwitting them at any moment by some sudden change of tactics after a prolonged and crushing onslaught at
some one place. I would not have you think I would expect a team to win by trick play, but when a game is close and by an opportune deception you are able to turn the tide and win, it is well to possess the ability.
This sport also brings out all the noble nature of a man. It causes him to give up all those habitual luxuries (which makes the young American so strange a subject to most foreigners) of which I will speak more in full later. It causes him to endure fatigue and sometimes pain with a smile. It makes him control all that resentful fire which makes a man strike another when he has first been struck; but he must put from him the thought, for while he is giving his full attention to an adversary to fight him in a pugilistic manner some one may be making a touch-down where it is his duty to be, and a man who will be drawn from his duty at any time by any act of an opponent is an inferior man and outplayed by that opponent if twice his size, and if he has given him a black eye; and in the meantime the failure to perform duty has beaten his side. Which is the more profitable, black eye or victory?
He is compelled to think quickly and act promptly, if not he will always be just a little too late. If at any time his judgment is wrong that gives experience, and by long and careful practice such a fault will be overcome; but it is far better to be over active occasionally than to be so careful as to become a drone on the field. To attain the maximum of usefulness a man must educate himself to have perfect confidence in his judgment and the ability to act

instantly upon it. The eye must be bright and keen, the head clear, the body free from deformity, the legs and arms strong and well padded with muscles, and above all a mental courage which knows not defeat—which laughs at pain. Such an one is not so liable to suffer pain, because he is not so often hurt, for the reason that he always moves to meet the play with his body parallel with the coming force; and if he can't stop it he will split it, and therefore not receive a side wrench. For example, take a piece of glass and with a hammer you can drive it into a board if you strike it on the end, while any one of the blows on the side would break it into a thousand pieces. This is all brought about by training, and when we read of some deplorable accident on the gridiron ninety-nine of each hundred cases will show it to have been someone who was physically or mentally unequal to the game. Would you want to set sail from New York to London in a row boat?
This brings us to the subject of training, and it is the key to all the foregoing. What makes the clear head, keen eye, mental courage, strong limb, prompt action, quick thought, and gives the endurance? It all depends upon training;
training not only on the field, but every hour of the day; it means close attention to every thing, careful study of your college work so that you may not only be an honor to the football field but an honor to yourself, to your parents at home, to your college, to your companions, and to the state which by its annual appropriations pays for the maintainence of such a noble institution. My experience is that it is always the young athlete who stands best in his studies that stands highest in usefulness on the field of sport. He must think over the practice of each day and ask himself where he did poorly and vow he will rectify his error; ask where he did well and say to himself "I am going to do that still better to-morrow," and think "That fellow playing opposite me thought he would tantalize me into scrapping with him, but I tell you I have no time to fight anyone unless he has the ball and is headed for my goal, then I will fight not only one man, but eleven, to stop him." Such soliloquies will help a man to improve his play each day. This with the signal quiz and an occasional lecture is about all a team needs in mental training except what they get on the field. Then comes the trainiug to a great many the most trying, (I might almost say cruel) and that which shows the man from the fellow; the breaking off from established habits such as smoking, drinking, chewing and staying out late at night to see friends or sweetheart. On these points I am absolute. I will not coach any man and expect to win universally, and allow him to break any one of the above rules, and a man who is heart and soul into football will

willingly forego these pleasures for a few months to become a champion. Drinking unfits any man to be as good an athlete as he could be; tobacco poisons him about as badly, and loss of sleep is very weakening. I know how hard it is for men to forego these things; not from personal experience, but from four years of almost constant training with other men who had to do it. The effect is electrical; the eyes which have been dull soon light, and a heart which but shortly before could not endure violent action knows not fatigue. The fatty become hard, the thin become heavier and larger of limb and chest, and at last when the season is over, as I have heard so many say: "I would not take a good deal for the good I have received by this training. I am going to keep it up." They seldom do it but are ready at any time to condemn themselves for their delinquency.
Then comes the pleasure of it all; the meeting on the gridiron, the hope and dispair of obtaining a place on the team-for no man in my way of thinking has a "dead sure thing" on his place-for any man who shows himself more useful may displace him, and the only way is always to be the best man. We play our practice each day, and the action so free from fatigue, the ever present desire for victory, all urge each man to his best until at last when our opening game comes the men who have shown best so far for each place make up the team They should go into the game with such a dash and force as to paralize the opponent if possible, and never for one moment let up, and if they train properly they will be able to do it. I have been on such a team, whose first and every game was one wild stampeed, when in a schedule of twelve games we made a total of 480 points and most of the games were only twenty-minute halves and had only twenty-two points against us, an average of 40 points each game. And our men were hnman! Why not make up your minds, you sons of Old Kansas, to come to me this fall with the one thought "I will do all in my power to make this season one of glorious memory." I will be with you on and off the field and will always be ready to help you.
This article is for all the readers of the KANSAS UNIVERSITY WEEKLY, but directly to all students who will be eligible to play football next fall. To those parents who will be at home in fear and trembling, I want to say football and other college sports are not to make cripples and to slay the young men of the land, but if you have carefully followed me, to make them stronger, more manly, nobler, more self-reliant, braver and men of brains, who may know how to properly honor their fathers and mothers and respect and defend the state at whose institution they are imbibing that knowledge for which mankind has so long been in search.

K. U. Headquarters at Ottawa.
A new departure was made this year by the University when it established headquarters at the Ottawa Chautaqua Assembly. In years past Ottawa and Baker Universities respectively have established headquarters but this year the initiatory effort was made by Kansas University and the result was that it had the most attractive and best ordered headquarters on the ground. The headquarters were in charge of Mr.W.C.Clock who was ably assisted in its establishment by Mr.F.E.Marcy.The headquarters were decorated with University views, athletic banners and trophies, charts showing growth of the University in various lines, pictures of the University and vicinity made by Mr.Marcy. While not the least prominent feature was the tastely arranged University colors. There was a goodly supply of University literature on hand consisting of some twelve or thirteen different catalogues, a book for registration of old students and is
as proof that the headquarters were much frequented, and over six hundred names are on the registration book. The headquarters was not only a place where visitors came but where old students met and renewed acquaintance. One of the most pleasing social events of the assembly was the reception held Wednesday when Chancellor and Mrs. Snow assisted by Mr. Clock and a bevy of University girls received old K.U.students and friends.
Not a little jealousy was shown, especially by our old friends at Baker, and we fear that this invasion on grounds heretofore possessed by them alone was not as much appreciated on their part as we could have desired.
However, the establishment of K. U. headquarters at Ottawa was a decided success,and in future years it will be a permanent feature of Chautaqua assembly.

The Pipe Organ.
Prof. Penny has been hard at work on the Pipe Organ fund this summer and has met with decided success. A stock company was organized and $2,000 in cash raised. This, with the $1,000 cash already on hand made the necessary $3,000 with which it was possible to secure much larger specifications than those already submitted. The result is that in the competition, one well known Eastern firm of builders offered its $5,000 specifications for the $3,000. The organ was thereupon ordered on July 15th and is now in course of construction. The contract calls for the completion of the organ by the middle of September. It will contain all the latest electric appliances, being both played and run by electricity. It will have three keyboards, attached to the organ by means of a fifty foot cable, so that it can be played from the stage, below the stage, in the centre of the chapel, or even out in the hall. It will contain 31 stops and 7 pedal combination effects. There will be 20 sets of pipes of 61 pipes each, and two sets of 30 pipes each. The organ will undoubtedly be the largest in the state, and in every way the most complete. Two opening concerts have already been planned for the first week in October, and $250 worth of tickets have already been sold by Prof. Penny. A course of organ recitals will also be a feature of the coming session.

The Graduate School.
The Board of Regents of the University of Kansas has recently established a Graduate School for the purpose of providing instruction in advanced University studies. The increasing demand for such instruction has rendered necessary the establishment and organization of this separate School. All graduate courses will be given under the control of the Faculty of The Graduate School and of its Administrative Committee, of which the Dean of the Faculty is Chairman. The large collections in thd several museums of natural history, the facilities afforded by the various laboratories, the equipment of the engineering schools and the resources of the library enable the University to offer opportunities for advanced study and original research in many directions.
COURSES.
Courses suitable for graduate study are offered for the coming year by the various departments, as follows:
1. Botany and Entomology, three courses.
2. Historical Geology and Vertebrate Anatomy, four courses.
3. Physical Geology, Mineralogy, and Petrography, four courses.
4. Chemistry, six courses.
5. Civil and Mechanical Engineering, sixteen courses.
6. Physics and Electrical Engineering, four courses.
7. Mathematics, fifteen courses.
8. Philosophy, eight courses.
9. Economics and Sociology, six courses.
10. European History, four courses.
11. American History, three courses.
12. Greek, two courses.
13. Latin, four courses.
14. German, six courses.
15. French, three courses.
16. English, five courses.
17. Pharmacy, one course.
18. Pedagogy, three courses.
19. Music, three courses.
A detailed announcement of these courses may be found in the University catalogue.
DEGREES.
The University offers at present six advanced degrees, viz.: Master of arts, master of science, doctor of philosophy, civil engineer, electrical engineer, and analytical chemist. The requirement of time for each degree is the minimum for baccalaureate graduates of this University and of other colleges and universities whose degrees are accepted by this University as equivalent to its own. All admitted with a standing inferior to this must spend such additional period of time to make good the deficiency as may be fixed by the administrative committee.
The rules governing the granting of advanced degrees are given in full in the University catalogue.
For further information, address either the President, Dean or Secretary of the Graduate Faculty.
