MISSOURI-
KANSAS DEBATE.
COMMITTEE OF THE TWO UNIVERSITIES MELTs IN KANSAS CITY NOV.25.
Rules Are Adopted and Arrangements Completed—Kansas Submits Questions to Missouri—Context to Be Held Here.
Football will not be the only factor here after in deciding annual supremacy between Missouri and Kansas. The debate is now assured.
After the contest on the gridiron representatives of the rival universities met at the Midland hotel to make final arrangements for the Missouri-Kansas debate. The Missouri delegates were L. E. Durm, W. C. Hock, C. L. Watson and Isador Leob. Those representing Kansas were J. B. Cheadle, F. L. Jewett, A. M. French and E. K. Elise. The joint committee organized by electing Mr. Durm president and Mr. Cheadle secretary of the Missouri-Kansas association for debate.
Rules and regulations were then adopted which will probably be retained as the constitution of the association. The contest was given to Kansas this year and will be held in Fraser hall on the evening of the third Friday in March,1898. Missouri will work hard to win and so efface the memory of Kansas' victory in football.

The High school football team of Ft. Scott defeated the Warrensburg Normal by a score of 18 to 0. Kansas University made the score only five points better in our Warrensburg game, and in consequence Ft. Scott and especially the newspapers are feeling pretty good and are talking some.
A. O. Garrett is manager of the team, and the Daily Citizen has this to say of his work:
"Prof. A. O Garrett is to be commended for the excellent way in which he has managed the games." Under his management Fort Scott has been enabled to see a good clean article of football, devoid of any rowdyism or foul playing. He is well likled by all the players and he has been untiring in his efforts to secure good games for Fort Scott."
"Fort Scott has a great football team. They have been getting better each game. They have grown up to their opposition and move and play faster football than any team in Kansas, with the exception of the Kansas university, and weight alone is what gives even that team an advantage over ours. Our team is beyond question well trained each man playing his position with skill and ginger. If they had the weight it would be a pleasure to see them meet any football team in the world in the Fort Scott fair grounds. They are of the disposition to say 'all teams look alike to us,' and would play Yale or Pennsylvania any time.
The Citizen speaks of the team in this modest tone:
They are fearless aggressive players, who have trained faithfully and deserve the honor they have won of being called the best football team in Kansas outside of the University—they'll have to show us."
NOTES FROM THE ENGINEERS.
The Senior engineers are winding and setting up a small two-phase alternator designed for experimental purposes. It is of the revolving field pattern and known as a sine inductor.
At the Electrical seminary Friday Asa L. Canavan read a paper on "Edison's Nogetic Ore Extractor," and Mr. read a biographical sketch of Lord Kelvin.

The Physics building has been so cold for the last week or two that it has been unsafe to hold any classes although on some days when the thermometer was not lower than sixty degrees classes have been held. The heating system used is the building is certainly very inadequate or else is badly managed.]
The outside wing for the new pipe organ is finished at a cost of $150. The manufacturers sent us word that no space had been reserved for the motor Prof. Blake says he will have to place it on the stool at Prof. Penny's side. It will have to be a powerful organ to drown out the noise made by the motor. The last report from the manufacturers is that the organ is on the way. We may now expect, with a fair amount of consistency, that it will be here by commencement day next spring.
The local Alumni League of the University which includes graduates of all the schools of the University and their wives, the members of the faculty and their wives, will give a reception and banquet at Music Hall Friday evening, Dec. 10. A committee of five has the affair in charge. Prof. Templin is chairman of the committee ably assisted by Professors Williston and Hunter and Mesdames Perkins and Johnson. All alumni are cordially invited to attend.
Alumni Banquet.
At Prof. Franklin's class, Friday morning, a noise was heard outside which puzzled the members of the class till some one went to see what was the matter. It was explained when he found a man carrying a half gallon of something, who had been knocking for about 15 minutes on the outside door of the Chemistry Building shivering with cold. He wanted to see Prof. Bailey.
We have just received a shipment of four ply linen collars in all the late shape and are putting them on sale at 10c.

ATHLETIC RULES WILL BE ADOPTED.
KANSAS WILL AGREE TO THE REPORT OF THE MADISON CONFERENCE.
This Time Without Exception or Conditions—The Rules Are Just and Will Do Much to Puri- fv Athletics:
"The Council will probably adopt without exception or condition rules on athletics, substantially the same as those reported at the Madison conference of college presidents," said Chancellor Snow to a WEEKLY reporter.
These are the rules reported by the conference committee on Athletics of which the Chancellor was a member, and subsequently adopted by the Council of the University of Kansas conditionally upon their adoption by the other members of the league, Missouri, Iowa, and Nebraska. The opinion seems quite prevalent that the condition should now be removed. Whether Missouri or Nebraska or Iowa adopt the rules or not, they are in the true spirit of amateur sportsmanship and their adoption would do much to raise the standard in athletics among the universities of the west. Kansas should, as usual, take the lead.
THE RULES.
1. No one shall participate in any inter-collegiate game or athletic sport unless he be a bona fide student doing full work in a regular or special course, as defined in the curriculum of his college, and no person who has participated in any intercollegiate game as a member of any college team shall be permitted to participate in any game as a member of another college team until he has been a matriculant in such college under the above conditions for a period of one year or has obtained a college or academic degree.
2. No person shall be admitted to any intercollegiate contest who receives any gift, remuneration, or pay for his services on the college team.
3. No student shall play upon the teams of any college or colleges for more than four years in the aggregate unless he shall have secured a degree, in which he may play two additional years, provided he be a candidate for a second degree.
4. No student shall participate in any intercollegiate contest who has ever used or is using his knowledge of athletics or his athletic skill for gain. This rule shall be operative after October 1, 1896. No person who receives any compensation from the University for services rendered by the way of regular instruction shall be allowed to play on any team. This rule shall take effect December rst, 1896.
5. No student shall play in any game under an assumed name.
6. No student shall be permitted to participate in any intercollegiate contest who is found by the faculty to be delinquent.
7. All intercollegiate games shall be played on grounds either owned or under the immediate control of one or both of the colleges participating in the contest, and all intercollegiate games shall be played under college management, and not under the control of any corporation or association or private individual.
8. The election of managers and captain of teams in each college shall be subject to the approval of its committee on athletics.
9. College football teams shall play only with teams representing educational institutions.
10. Before every intercollegiate contest the respective chairman of the athletic committees of the institutions concerned shall submit to each other a certified list of players, eligible under the rules adopted, to participate in said contest. It shall be the duty of the captains of the respective teams to exclude all players from the contests save those so certified.
11. Athletic committees shall require each candidate for a team to represent the University in intercollegiate contests to subscribe to a statement that he is eligible under the letter and spirit of the rules adopted.
12. No person having been a member of any college athletic team during any year, and having been in attendance less than one college half-year, shall be permitted to play in an intercollegiate contest thereafter until he shall have been in attendance six consecutive calendar months.

SOCIETY OR CIVIL ENGINEERING.
An Interesting Report Made on the Santa Fe Railroad.
At the Civil Engineer's society this week Mr. Clark gave a very brief history of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad.
Its history began in the early part of the eighteenth century. At this early date, the Indians and the people of the Montezumas had established the route which afterwards became known as the Santa Fe trail. In the early settlement of these wild and woolly prairies, shrewd business men saw clearly that these vast prairies would, at some time in the near future be a source of great wealth. Acting upon this keen insight into the future, a corporation was organized which began to build a railway which followed the old Santa Fe trail. This trail was followed because it was very level, thus reducing the first cost of building to a minimum.
This railway system was very profitable until the railways began coming into its territory. To meet such competition the Santa Fe company had to build a great many miles of feeders in order to keep its trade. Then, in order to deliver its traffic to centers of trade, it built a through line to Chicago. This meant a great outlay of money, all of which was borrowed. But other roads came into its territory and with them came the keenest of competition. Then to top the climax, or rather the anti-climax from the standpoint of the railroad, came the hard times and the bursting of the great boom in the west. The result was that the road went into the hands of a receiver, but such a condition did not last long.
The company got on its feet again financially and has now one of the greatest railway systems of the world. It comprises at present more miles of railway than that of all England, and more than one-sixth of that of the United States.
Mr. Sanderson discussed the form of fracture of cast iron when broken transversely. Experiments seem to show that the form of the fracture follows a certain law, and it depends upon the position of the fracture.
The society was also slightly favored with a brief description of the duties of a clerk of a division engineer, which was given by a former member of the society -Mr. J. L. Lahmer, class of 95.
SNOW HALL
Some remains which seem to be those of a fossil from the Nebraska cretarians have been recently discovered by Mr. Stewart of the paleontological department. If these remains prove to be what they are supposed, it will place the catfish much farther back in geological history than bereotefo known.
Messrs McClung and Marcy are building two aquariums for the museum. When these are completed the larger one will be placed on the first floor of Snow hall and will contain fish, frogs and turtles, in fact most any old thing that may turn up and that can live in water.
Prof. Dyche left this afternoon for Plattsburg, Mo., where he is to deliver a lectre today.
Mr. Beeck has just discovered a new crinoid from the carbonic of Kansas.
The gentle music of the punching bag has not been heard in the gymnasium this week. It is a good thing that this has been stopped, as the vibrations caused by this bag hitting against the ceiling of the basement, have been injuring the fossils in the museum.
Prof. Popenoe, late head of the entomological department of the state agricultrale college, is still pursuing his course in systematic entomology and is kept busy these days in solving the intricacies of the Coleoptera.
TO TOUR THE WEST.
Pennsylvania and Garlie to Visit the Const.
In all probability the football teams of the University of Pennsylvania and Carlisle Indian school will make a tour of the western states during the holidays and play games with the University of California and Leland Stanford. Then they expect to tour through Mexico and Texas and play a series of games with each other. The trip as it is now planned can be made in three weeks and has received the hearty approval of the Pennsylvania faculty.
Students desiring to enter my Virgi class will meet in Latin room Monday, December 6, at 4 o'clock.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, DEC 4, 1897.
There is disturbance at Emporia. The blocking of the Coyote mars the serene amenquity of College Lite.
We notice that the Pacific Wave threw "Time changes and the fleeting present receives its inheritance from the unfolding past."
We wonder if the inspiring tones of the pipe organ will call up to students the debt of gratitude they owe to Professor Penny. He deserves the credit—almost he alone.
Iola Register: "Kansas wins' 16 to 0!" A dispatch like that, meaning that for the fifth time in seven annual games the Kansas University football team has everlastingly wiped the earth with the Missouri "Tigers," goes very far indeed toward convincing every loyal Kansas that football is a noble and manly pastime and should by all means be encouraged and appreciated.
Kansas City Star: On the side of football are most of the colleges and universities in the land, the more important public journals and the best specimens of young American manhood. Arrays against it are the Georgia legislature, the governor of Arkansas, a Spanish torader who prefers bull fighting, and a few newspapers without enough vitality to up work a decent circulation
The Kansas University WEEKLY give more for the money than any other paper published in America. A weekly newspaper and a monthly magazine, both for 50 cents a year—surely a reasonable offer. And surely the papers offered are worthy the support of every student. Senator Chas, F. Scott says in the iola Register: "The Kansas University Weekly is the best college paper I have ever seen."
Del Valentine has at last been heard of in a masterpiece which appeared in the last issue of the Clay Center Times acorching the University football team and telling his simple readers that Kansas had been fairly and openly beaten by both Nebraska and Missouri in open combat and it was now time for the University of Kansas to seek new fields in which to sustain her once enviable reputation on the gridiron. Del has probably now hibernated and will come out again in the spring with the flies, and then we may expect another sarcastic article from this powerful organ
A new football manager is so on to be elected. Probably the precedent of last year will be followed and he will be nominated by the board at once, so that he may begin the work of arranging games with good teams, aided by the retiring manager. The question of a manager for the team is all important. Nothing should be considered but his fitness for the position. He should be a good student and a good business man. While a member of the team cannot have the time to give to the duties of manager, a man should be chosen who has the confidence and good will of the team and captain and coach. He should be a careful financier. With good management next year we should be out of debt and have a surplus in the treasury.
Adopt the Rules.
The athletic rules adopted by the faculty last spring conditionally upon their adoption by the other members of the inter-state league are given in another column of the WEEKLY.
The rules are fair and just, and now that the efforts of Kansas to have the Universities of Missouri and Nebraska adopt them have not met with complete success Kansas should set the example and adopt the rules unconditionally. Strong in her reputation and standing among the universities of the west, Kansas can afford to "go it alone." If other universities follow her lead, so much the better for them. If they fail to come up to the standard set by Kansas—if they prefer professionalism—the evil of it be upon them.
Oh, the Pity of It.
The editor of the Southwestern Collegian took an hour off the other day for philosophy and meditation:
"The editor, having an hour's liberty, decided to look in upon the Teacher's Association. As we gazed upon that concentrated picture of pedagogical wisdom, a feeling of pity for the poor scholars walled up from our hearts. We saw the girl with her sugary smile; the cross, cold teacher whose glances seemed steeped in acid vinegar, the teacher who knows it all the worst of the three. And as we thought that these teachers will give the child his ideas, will build for him his ideas, we realize that not only the destiny of the child but of Anglo Saxon civilization is in their hand, Oh, that teachers would realize that every day they may make or murder the great news lying dormant at their feet."
One More Shot.
The Kansas City Journal sent a man up to Lincoln to write up the Kansas game from the Nebraska standpoint. Mr. Kline was disgusted with the babyishness of Nebraska and wrote the game as it deserved to be written up. In a recent issue of the Journal he comments further on the latest grand baby play of the Nebraska management:
"The peculiar and effulgent show of indication of the Nebraskans over the game between the Kansans and the Medies in this city would be laughable were it not so childishly silly. A more gentlemanly game was never played than the one between the K. U. and the U. M. C. elevens, but that is not the point with Nebraska. Captain Shedd is trying to divert attention from the fact that Nebraska was afraid to meet Kansas on a fair and sportsmanlike basis—it is a lame effort.
About those "shin guards," which by the way, are worn on the thigh — They were invented by the Rev. Hector Cowan, who made them from pieces of stove pipe and wore them during the last two years of his play on the Princeton team. They are absolutely harmless. Although used quite generally in the east no opposing player was ever injured by them. No secret was made by Kansas of their use by members of the team. They were used every day in practice against the scrubs and no one ever thought their use unsportsmanlike or criminal. They were shown to Dr. Jackson and to Heller, of the Medic team, when they visited the Kansas training quarters long before the Medic game, and their use was explained, to protect the tendon of the thigh and prevent abscess. Mose wore the guard under a half inch of padding, so that the spirit of rule 17 was observed. The babishy cries of Nebraska show in what urgent straits she found herself when about to be forced into a second Kansas game. She whined heroically in order to call public attention from her slump. But she failed. All the world knows now that Nebraska was afraid to back up her bluff.

BE DECLARED
"If the discourtesy shown to Kansas by the football management of Nebraska is official, that is, if it was authorized by the faculty, I am in favor of severing our relations with Nebraska and declaring the debate off."
This is the statement made by Prof Hopkins of the committee on joint debate to a Weekly reporter, but he added. "I cannot, however, think the insult has faculty sanction. Kansas would not be guilty of such discourtesy to a sister university, and I am inclined to the same opinion of Nebraska."
There have been rumors for some time that the Kansas-Nebraska debate would be declared off. They have their foundation chiefly in letters received from members of the Nebraska faculty expressing the hope that Kansas would proceed with the debate and overlook football differences. In fact Kansas had no other intention, and not until after the receipt by Coach Woodruff of the insulting letter from Oury and the subsequent action of the athletic committee in backdown from their challenge and in trying to conceal their covardiness behind a trumped up charge of unsportsmanship against Kansas, and still later the denunciation of Captain Mosse, whom Kansas honors and respects, was the possibility even momentarily considered of telling Kansas to go her way in peace; but after these insults it became a question of whether or not they were official. The opinion seems to prevail that Kansas must not, nay, shall not be officially insulted.
In order to find out the belief of the committee on the disputed point a reporter for the WEEKLY visited each member. No one would commit himself to the opinion that the insult was actually official, though Mr. Brownell leaned that way. "My impression is," said he. "that Nebraska has not treated us right. We have thrashed them several times in debate and in football and they are probably just a little bit sore. I believe that there were members of the faculty who signed the withdrawal of their challenge, which was couched in disrespectful terms. I cannot say what the action of the committee will be."
Miss Alvord's renditions are characterized by thoroughly artistic intelligence, brilliancy, pathos, and intense dramatic power.
LECTURE COURSE OPENS.
Possessing a fascinating presence, with the ability to correctly impersonate every character and graphically describe the incidents that reveal the general plot, Miss Alvord at once captivates her auditors, whence she carries them from scene to scene with rapt and growing interest to the end of the play.
The opening entertainment of the Lecture course will take place Wednesday evening. Miss Katharine Alvord will give select readings from Shakspere. She comes highly recommended by New York papers and it is said that her masterly interpretations of the works of Shakspere, Swinburne and others are a new creation in the way of rostrum productions. Critics and enthusiastic audiences pronounce them the most enjoyable of anything pertaining to the classic drama that has yet been attempted by any artist.
Wednesday evening will thus be of great value to students of Shaksphere, but not to them alone. The interpretations should

Prof. Olin prepared this terse statement "I should be sorry to see the past relations between Kansas and Nebraska broken off; but Kansas ought not to submit to insult from Nebraska explicit or implied."
The views of Prof. Hodder, chairman of the committee, agreed substantially with those of Prof. Hopkins. He believed the committee would be conservative in their action, and was awaiting a letter from Chancellor McLean before anything could be done "I should be very sorry to see the debate declared off," said Mr. Hodder, "but I cannot understand the action of the University of Nebraska."
Dr. Dunlap pleaded ignorance of the whole subject. The idea had not occurred to him that football disagreement could disturb the friendly relations existing in other ways between the two universities, and he preferred not to commit himself until something further on the subject had been heard from the faculty of Nebraska "But if insult was intended by Nebraska, said the Doctor, 'you know I would be the last person in the world to take it.'

The forthcoming engagement of Digby Bell in "The Hoosier Doctor," the successful comedy drama by Augustus Thomas, author of "Alabama," "In Missouri," etc., will unquestionably prove to be one of the dramatic treats of the season. The success achieved by Mr. Bell and the notable excellence of the supporting organization with which Manager Duncan B. Harrison has surrounded him has preceded him and awakened a more than ordinary degree of interest on the part of our theatre going public. Laura Joyce Bell will be seen in her famous creation of the scolding mother-in-law. The supporting company is identically the same which achieved the phenomenal seven weeks' run at the Grand opera house, Chicago.

Thomas W. Keene, the eminent tragedian, is looked upon as the successor of the lamented Edwin Booth. Mr. Keene is a firm believer in the vitality and popularity of Shakespearean and other similar dramas, and he has found this season, as in the past, pleasure and profit in their presentation. He has read a great many modern and classic plays, but he does not find in them the elements which the works of the great master possess. No actor on the American stage has so persistently adhered to Shakespearean plays during the past twenty years or more, as Mr. Keene. He looks upon these dramas as public educators, and worthy of generous support when adequately presented. The repertoire of this tragedians is the most varied one of its kind ever offered to the American public and it shows his versatility and genius.
This season Mr. Keene has an associate who is not only playing leading parts, but attending to his management. He is Charles B Hanford, a young tragedian who was formerly with Booth and Barrett and other eminent stars. The affiliation ormed between these two tragedians has been mutually agreeable and profitable this season. It was an organization similar to the one in which the lamented Edwin Booth and Lawrence Barr ett were joint stars.
Mr. Keene will appear at the Bowersock opera house on Friday next as Shylock in Shakespeare's great work "The Merchant of Venice."

Students who have entered the University this year must have enrollment cards of whatever description in the hands of registrar before any certificate of attendance at the University will be given.

K. U. BOY IN AFRICA
A. S. O'Connor Writes an Interesting Letter to Lawrence Friends.
Here are some excerpts from a letter to A. S, O'Codnor wrote to a Lawrence acquaintance. It was written at Salisbury, South Africa, Oct. 16, and was about six weeks on the road. "If you are an artisan you are sure to do well in South Africa. Otherwise you take your chances. You may do well and you may not. I should say brick makers get as good pay as any. A good brick maker can easily command two 'quid'—$10, per day. It is about the best trade in Salisbury, as there are not enough good workmen to supply the demand. Buildings are invariably of brick or stone, there being no base buildings. Carpenters in Cape Town-goet 14 shillings per day while in Mashonaland their pay ranges from 30 to 40 shillings per day.
They don't ask you what school you graduated from down here. There is not a school of any sort in Salisbury or Neutali. If you are a salesman and can tear off giagham by the yard or otherwise you can get work. Americans, however, are usually handicapped in not having the English money system down fine. One needs a lot of recommendations too. They are always called for and are given more weight than in the U. S.
South America is a queer country and has been called the grave of lost reputations. Here you will find the nobleman from the continent chumming with any malenl. If death levels all ranks so does the veld. The best hotel accommodations in Salisbury come at 40 "quid" ($200) a month and would be considered third grade in any other country. The rough ways of living make men reckless. In the majority of cases they become rolling stones without much stability. If a young man has pluck and energy he will do about as well in the United States as anywhere else. He can make more money here but it will cost him so much to live that there is not much difference.
I just returned from a two month's trip with a transportation train. My wages were 30 "quid" per month. Two days before we reached Salisbury I had the good fortune to shoot a roebuck which I sold to one of the hotels for 10 "quid" ($50.)
When you're in need,
Just order feed,

Outland is Elected Captain of the Pennsylvania Team.
"Kansas—Outland and McCracken—saved the day."
This is the way the Philadelphia Press speaks of the work done by the Kansas boys in the Cornell Pennsylvania game. Outland made a run of twenty-eight yards, the longest run of the game, and McCracken made the touchdown which saved the day and left "mighty Pennsy" undefeated for the season.
After the game Outland was chosen captain.
Johnie Outland played half back on the Kansas team of 95. He was the star player of the season. Going to Pennsylvania the next year he played on the scrubs. This season he has been doing brilliant work as right guard on the 'Varsity. Coach Woodruff, of Pennsylvania, speaks of Outland as a cool "heady" player, well fitted for captain of the champions.

A series of critical discussions is being given on evolution. Chancellor Snow and Dr. Williston have already addressed the society and Prof. Stevens will speak at its next meeting.

A PIPE ORGAN
Satisfaction Guaranteed. 812 Mass. St.
IT WAS SHIPPED A WEEK AGO AND
IS EXPECTED ON ANY
AT LAST.
TRAIN.
A Representative of the Organ Firm is Here to Set the Instrument Up—
The doubles of the most ardent doubter must now be dispelled. The dismal croaks of the most industrious croaker will be heard no more. Instead of them will come the deep, grand triumphant tones of the pipe organ, for it has now been completed, after five months spent by the firm of Wm. King & Sons, of Elmira, New York, in perfecting the construction, and was shipped a week ago. It is expected any day now on any train.
Mr. Edward P. King arrived Friday to superintend the setting up of the instrument. A reporter for the WEEKLY found him in consultation with Prof. Blake regarding the electrical appliances, and some interesting facts were gleaned about the new organ.
The organ which will be in place by the 25th of this month, will not only be the largest in the state, but by far the most modern and complete in every way. It has an adjustable combination pedal action, and is the first organ to be constructed on this improved design. Instead of the old-styled locking pedal, a system of electric switch pins is used which locks the combination on each pedal, and, at the same time shows the organist just what com-combination he has prepared. The crescendo pedal action is also designed on an entirely new plan.
The electric action is so arranged that the keyboard, which is in a movable console or case, can be played fifty feet distance from the organ. The keyboards consists of three "manuals" or rows of keys, of sixty-one notes each. Each key is connected with the pipes and wind chest of the organ by means of a fine electric wire no larger than a number sixty thread. There will be thirty-two stops, twelve pedal movements, all double acting, and six couplers, all of which, like the keys of the three "manuals," having special wires running to the instrument, all the wires being bound together in a fifty-foot cable, one and one-half inches in diameter.
The regulator has a lever connected with the bellows which is raised and lowered according to the inflation and deflation. The controller is enclosed in slate, so that there is no danger from fires
The electric motor for running the organ, which is being put up by Prof. Blake, is a thing of beauty and effectiveness. It was made especially for the organ by the Elektron company of Springfield, Mass. It consists of a motor and automatic regulator designed to run noiselessly and vary its speed according to the power required of it. The regulator is adjusted by the quantity of air in the wind chest, the organist paying no attention to the motor, as the drawing of a single stop starts it, and then it regulates itself.
The case of the organ is of oak, and extends 8 feet above the stage, the entire height of the instrument being 25 feet, and the front display of pipes likewise 25 feet in width.
Everything is in preparation now for the reception of our long expected pipe organ. This morning 'Nate' rushed into the WEEKLY office in a state of great excitement. "I'm takin' up the old carpet on the stage," said he, "and the new one's bein' cut. That organ am a'-coming shore!"
Reports of the various high schools of the state are rapidly coming into the register's office, about one hundred having come in up to the present time. The desire among the high schools of the state to connect with the University seems to be more general than usual. This desire is not confined to the state for a request has come from one high school in far off Mississippi, asking for information about the University.
Even Far off Mississippi.
Prof. Adams' class in Institutions is just now enjoying the luxury of oral examinations, each member of the class taking his turn, as determined by lot, of occupying the chair for half an hour and being quizzed by the rest of the class, the Professor also occasionally taking a turn at asking questions.
A Quiz Experiment.
From all indications this form of quiz appears to be popular as each one hopes that he shall be the next to occupy the chair.

A West Virginia;Lad Looks Out for the Main Chance.
HERE'S A SPECIMEN.
W. D. Curtis, an ambitious West Virginia lad, has a queer idea of amateur athletics. He wants to "pitch ball" for an education. Apparently he has not heard of the stringent rules adopted by the university of Kansas to keep athletics pure.
Curtis had a laudable ambition to take "short-hand and typewriting." He preferred to take them at a university rather than at a business college. He wanted to play ball, too, that is, if the inducements were "anything like encouraging." He knew how to use his curves, so he sat down and wrote to Chancellor Snow, with an offer of his services.
ELKINS, W.Va., Nov. 27, 97.
President University, Lawrence, Kansas.
DRAR Sir: Please forgive the liberty I am taking by writing you a letter to do me a foresight for out of your line, of business.
I have several flattering offers for next season, but as I don't want to play professional ball I have declined all I played on a salary this past season and done great work for the team, which was an independent amateur team. I pitched twenty-four games, won twenty-two, tied one and lost one.
Please hand this to the person mentioned,
and if he cares to know of me, I will gladly send him newspaper clippings of my work for the past season.
Please give this a moments attention. I shall appreciate,it very much, and at any time, should I be able. I will gladly return all favors done
Yours very truly,
W. D. CURTIS,
West, Virginia.
Chancellor Snow has not yet answered the letter. He has not had time to give it "a moment's attention." In the meantime if any other university of typewriting and short hand desires a base ball "phenom," he may perhaps still be found at Elkins, West Virginia.
Portions of a Letter From Prof. Engel.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Oct. 24 and Nov. 10.
Owing to some conflicts and other cir-
cumstances over which I had no control,
my work is not exactly as we had planned
before I left. Prof. Francie is not giving
the seminary course in Faust, and instead
I have been taking the Romantic school
this term, and will take the German drama
next term. My other courses are general
history of German literature with Prof.
Francie, history of the German language
and middle high German with Prof. Von
lagermann and Germanic mythology with
Prof. Kitteridge five courses altogether,

close touch with our books. Prof Francke especially seems to have an exalted opinion of the ability of his students. Besides our regular daily reading we are to write in one course the first monthly thesis on "The Chivalrous Elements in Triston in Isole," and in the other a final thesis on "The Romantic Elements of Heine as compared with those of Novalis, Tieck or Schlegel." As a basis for the latter we are to read Heine's works complete and to this end each of us has ordered an Elster edition, seven volumes. In the language course we are given philosophical and etymological problems to solve three days a week. In mythology we are to read ad libitum in Grimm, Mogk and Meyer. This will give you an idea of the scope and direction of my work. As to the intellectual stock and accretion which I will get time will tell. I am, however, taking your advice by appropriating some of the benefits coming from residence in a large and especially a New England city. I have already heard Joe Jefferson, Rip Van Winkle, Fanny Davenport in her new play "A Soldier of France," and the renowned Sousa and his great band. I have visited many of the historic spots in Boston and Cambridge and very soon we, Messenger and I, are going to Lexington and Concord on our wheels. We have also invested in a kodak and are going to take snap-shots of the sights and views which we care to keep. I thus combine recreation and diversion with a very valuable education. When I stop to think of all there is here for me to get in the short space of one year I feel as though I should like to multiply my capacity. In fact it is hard for me to realize that I am actually here carrying out the plan that I have had for five years.
My reception here has been very pleasant and my acquaintances have been most agreeable. My instructors are all an inspiration to me and I have the profoundest respect and admiration for them. Francke is the most enthusiastic and to me the most cordial. I was at his house a few evenings ago and was made to feel very much at home. Kittredge is a scholar and the learning he shows in the treatment of the course is wonderful. Von Jagemann's accuracy and reliability are excellent qualities to come in contact with. On the whole the three supplement each other admirably and as a result place before me a most exalted ideal."

TRACK ATHLETICS.
A TEAM WILL BE CGRANIZED FOR SPRING WORK.
Dr. Woodruff Suggests a Plan for a Relay Race-A Kansas Base Ball League to Be Organized.
Now that the football season has closed so successfully there is beginning to be awakened an interest in track athletics, and a movement will be inaugurated to see what can be done with the material as yet undeveloped.
The University has never as yet made more than spasmodic efforts in this line, but there is beginning to be something more in an athletic way than play football. If Dr. Woodruff should be retained as now seems an assured fact, he will be able to give enough of his time from his practice to direct such a movement and with his record as a hammer thrower and shot putter it can easily be surmised what success he would have with such men as Mosse, Hamill and others in this line of sport.
There are also some runners in the University if properly coached, such as Simpson, Buzzi, Avery, Speak and others. Such training would help develop material for next year's football team.
The facilities for track work are not of the best, but it has been suggested that a dirt track be laid out on the ground south of the building. This ground belongs to the University, and as it is entirely level a running track could easily be made with very little expense. There is an old idea that runners must have a cinder track; but more recent authorities say that this is wholly unnecessary and that a soft earthen track is really the better. "I am heartily in sympathy with the movement to develop a track team 'said Dr. Woodruff recently.' 'It will take time of course to make a good one but I would like to make a suggestion to arouse an interest in this form of athletics. Let the University give prizes for a relay race to be held on McCook field or any other suitable place next year. Let all the colleges in the state be invited to compete for these prizes, they to bear their own expenses.
"This will bring the colleges of the state in closer touch with each other in a form of athletics in which there will be a more equal show of winning than in football." "Of course," Dr. Woodruff continued, "If I stay another year at Kansas University I shall take an interest in athletics in general as well as in football even though I am not bound to do so."
A BASE BALL LEAGUE
At a meeting of the athletic board held last Monday the advisability of making an effort to organize a base ball league between Kansas University, Baker, Washburn and Ottawa was discussed and Manager Snyder was instructed to arrange such a league if possible. When the old triangular league was in existence base ball always paid expenses out instead of being a drag upon the Athletic association as has been the case since the dissolution of the league.
Manager Snyder Instructed to Arrange One if Possible.
If the plan is carried out successfully there will be some "hot" games of ball on McCook field next spring and the old rivalry will be renewed between these colleges.
A biography of Capt. John Ericsson was given before the Civil Engineering society by Mr. Sears
Particular attention was paid to the practical engineering ability of Capt. Ericsson. Mr. Ericsson was not a college man but early in life came in direct contact with the practical work of engineering. As early as eleven years of age he acted as leveller during the construction of a great Swedish canal.

Ericson's greatest achievements were in mechanical engineering He made many improvements to the steam engine; invented a caloric engine; invented the screw propeller for steamships and was the originator of various other innovations for which he did not receive his just dues until after his greatest invention —The Monitor.
THE FOOTBALL BANQUET.
The Boys Are Royally Entertained by the Merchants of Lawrence.
See the new line of neckwear at Robinson & Robiason's. Fine silks, only 25c. 744 Massachusetts street.
The banquet given Thursday night by the Merchants Athletic association of Lawrence to the football boys was an occasion long to be remembered. It was the first affair of the kind in the history of Kansas university athletics and shows a spirit on the part of the townspeople to support and and encourage the home team which is to be commended. An occurrence of the evening made this spirit especially marked. Captain Mosse in responding to his toast referred to unfriendly remarks that had been made by the home press. His gentle roast was warmly applauded and his sentiments were endorsed by the merchants after the banquet.
There were plates laid for one hundred guests in the Eldridge house banquet hall. The room was profusely decorated with the crimson and blue, athletic colors of the University. Football emblems and large chrysanthemums formed graceful portions of the decorations. The music was furnished by Saunder's orchestra.
VOL. V. NO.14.
Everyone did honor to the excellent repast, and late in the evening cigars were passed around and the toasts began. Mr. Bowersock was a happy choice for toast master. He presided in an informal way and his introductions of the speakers were peculiarly apt. He spoke of the pleasure it was to the Merchants Athletic association to honor the boys who had closed so successfully a brilliant season, referring to their gentlemanly qualities and their sturdy manhood. Chancellor Snow in his brief, terse way told why he approved of football. He likened life to a game of football rather than a game of mumble peg. Dr. Woodruff discussed "Football as She is Played," and then Captain Mosse made the hit of the evening with his sentiment: "Football Armor." Judge J. Q. A Norton told one of his characteristic stories, his subject being "How I Enjoyed the Game at Lincoln." The judge had not enjoyed it "worth a continental." To conclude the program Sam Bishop toasted "Our Fellow Athletes."
Dr. Williston went to Leavenworth Monday to deliver a lecture about extinct monsters.
The whole affair was a pronounced success. The idea of banqueting the boys originated with Mr. Barteldes, who is a host by himself, and it was ably carried out by the co-operation of all the members of the Merchants Athletic association. It was a great evening for football and enthusiasm.
The zoological department has received a "Necturus" from a small lake near Oconomowos, Wisconsin. It resembles a very small alligator in general appearance and will be kept in the large aquarium of the Zoological Museum. This is the first of a number of amphibians that Mr. McClung is trying to get for the purpose of illustrations in histological and cytological work. Prof. Stevens has been getting some high power American objectives for comparison with some from Germany. The result is highly creditable to the American ones.
SNOW HALL
The Journal club of natural history is planning to conduct a natural history survey of the country adjacent to the University. This is to be done in conjunction with the regular work of the Journal club and the results will be published in yearly volumes. The first work in the country within a radius of five miles and will be mainly systematic and botanical, It is expected that all the instructors and some of the advanced students of Snow hall and the instructors in other departments will participate in the work.
At the meeting of the Journal club last Wednesday Prof. Stevens started on an exposition of "A Strasburger's view about the division of Nucleui and the structure of the Cytoplasm" As the subject was so interesting he has been asked to continue it in the next meeting If any time remains, the club will take up the matter of the survey.
Mr. McClung and others are planning for a cemented pond out west of Snow hall and expect to keep animals and plants in it for illustration in natural history work.
CAPS AND GOWNS
Dr. Williston has been conducting a canvas of the graduates of the University and finds that of those holding fellowships or positions as teachers, by far the greater part graduated from Snow hall.
SHALL THE FACULTY WEAR THE HISTORIC GARB.
Miss Galloo Hopes They Will, but There Is Strong Opposition—The Argument Fairly Stated to a Weekly Reporter.
Miss Galloo was interviewed by a WEEKLY reporter as to her views on the wearing of the cap and gown by the faculty. "I am somewhat surprised," she said "to hear that the question has been brought up again. There was some informal discussion of it last year but some members of the faculty were so strongly opposed to it, that the matter was not carried further. Personally I am quite in favor of it. Any body of persons makes a much more dignified appearance with uniform than without it. There is no question at all in my mind but that our faculty on the few occasions when it does appear in a body would look much better in a uniform dress. To have the men, some dressed in gray, others in black, some in frock coats, some in long, and the women with dresses of all colors of the rainbow, quite takes away any appearance of solemnity or dignity which the platform might otherwise have.
Of course it is urged against the adoption of cap and gown by the faculty here that there are so few distinctly University occasions where they could be worn. This is true, but would it not be better for our University if we added to our customs more of that solemnity and ceremoniousness which other universities have? In the University of Chicago for instance members of the faculty attend, chapel in a body, dressed in the cap and gown. When the services are over the audience rises and remains standing until the faculty retires."
The idea of seeing our faculty all in chapel at the same time brought an involuntary smile to the reporter's face. "Of course," added Miss Galloo, "with the way the faculty straggles into chapel here or doesn't come at all, this would be hardly practicable, but still I am quite in favor of the adoption of the cap and gown as a decided improvement on the present order of things."
At their class meeting Wednesday noon, the Seniors decided to buy the cap and gown recommended by the committee, each member of the class to deposit $1 with the committee when his measurement is taken and pay the remainder when the cap and gown are received. The social committee reported that they were doing their utmost to make the party on December 16,

Polarism is the name some people give to genuine good nature.
Judge Norton and Captain Mosse carried off the honors at the football banquet.
The college man who always takes himself seriously plays a most stupendous practical joke on society.
The Lawrence World stands by Mosse. It says he "will never live long enough to regret the speech be made at the banquet." Right you are. Brady, and Mosse looks pretty robust, too.
The Southern Illinois Herald contains a full the Thanksgiving day sermon preached by Rev. Charles M, Sharpe, who graduated from Kansas last year. The sermon is very thoughtful and would be recognized at once by those who know him, as Mr. Sharpe's.
Chairman of the financial committee of the athletic association is not an enviable position, especially when there is a debt of eleven hundred dollars to be paid off. And now that the season has closed successfully the WEEKLY suggests as a slight mark of our esteem that Professor Adams be continued on the board for life.
In speaking of the toasts at the football banquet, the Lawrence Journal said fast night that Mosse made "the occasion an opportunity to speak in a derogatory manner of the newspapers." The mistake is a natural one on the part of the Journal. No one else would think of classifying the Lawrence papers as "the newspapers."
The Cloverleaf, a paper, published at Kentucky University, says "that the advocates of football can now hold up to the public in answer to the action of the Georgia's Legislature, that of the Kansas Legislature, which showed its appreciation of the game by appropriating $2,000 for the expense of their State University eleven." This is good argument, if it were only true.
With this issue the WEEKLY begins a new department, that of Correspondence. It is hoped that the department will prove interesting and profitable, and to that end communications are solicited on matters of common interests. Perhaps, in this way the WEEKLY may be a "convocation in itself," bringing students and faculty together in discussions which must result in good to the University.
Miss Josephine Shellabarger, manager of the woman's edition of the WEEKLY has paid over to Manager McKinnie of the football team $50 to be used in purchasing sweaters for the boys. The money is the proceeds of the woman's edition and is a fitting testimonial of the business ability and pluck of the girls and their interest in athletic affairs. And their efforts are appreciated. The football boys have appointed Mr. Walker a committee of one to thank the WEEKLY girls and commend their enterprise.
Miss Maud Miller arrived in Lawrence Tuesday. She will continue her study in the Music department.
Notes from the Fine Arts.
The Christmas concert this year is to be unusually interesting. Miss Bundy, who is teaching in Topeka, will play a Weber Concerto which she studied abroad. Mr. Appy, the cellist, from Kansas City will contribute several numbers to the programme. His reception at Miss Brown's recital last spring, was so enthusiastic that his playing will be anticipated with pleasure. A ladies chorus and the Glee club will be a feature of the concert. The members of the faculty will not take part as they play in the organ concerts which are soon to follow. The girls of the Senior class and Miss Thorpe from the Juniors will be heard in solos and two-piano pieces.
Now that the big ogan is so soon to be a reality, the chorus will begin work on several numbers for the concerts. Only holders of the organ tickets will sing in the chorus, and those who can sing and have tickets, will meet at music hall next Monday night and begin work on the Wagner choruses. As the concerts are for the benefit of the organ fund, it is right that the large chorus can not have complimentary tickets. The organ will not be heard until these concerts.
Charlie Pearce, after a short vacation,
has resumed his study with Prof. Clark.
Miss Josephine Shellabarger has entered the art class of Prof. Clark.
The portrait class at Music hall will have Prof. Clark for a modez, after they have completed the work for which Mrs. Means is posing.
Some of the charcoal drawings left in Snowhall by the art students who were working there, have been defaced by some one, evidently an impressionist. The perpetrator of the deed has not been discovered, but suspicion is not wanting.
An Accident to the Zoospores.
The balcony of the cryptogamaic laboratory where part of the herbarium is kept is the store room of the botanical department. In this elevated place can be found note books belonging to young naturalists who traced the changes of the primordial meesiery and left the evidence behind them, broken apparatus and devices which would puzzle their inventors, flower pots, sawdust and bottles galore.
Because of the nature of things it is unnecessary that there should be an occasional house cleaning. The work is now on and there has been only one accident.
At the desks below this world above some students were industriously working out the life history of the Saprolegnia when a great crash occurred. A large number of tin boxes had fallen from the balcony. When the solemn walls ceased to return the hilarious sound an anxious voice from above was heard to say, "Is anybody hurt?" Laughter gave answer no. The students resumed their watch through the compound microscopes and found the zoospher had all been shaken from their sporangia

EDITOR WEEKLY—The sentiments expressed in your last number concerning the approaching Kansas-Nebraska debate were the occasion of not a little surprise. It appears that the football authorities at Lincoln, considering themselves aggrieved by something the Kansas football representatives did or did not do, have taken advantage of a technicality and declare that they will have nothing to do with Kansas in the future. Any one is free to judge of the motive and propriety of Nebraska's action, but it is hard to see why Kansas Kansas should retaliate in the manner suggested.
We may assume that there is good ground for holding the debate, that having been decided by those most interested and, it would seem, best qualified to judge. It may also be granted that the action of Nebraska university was intended as a snub. Nevertheless, it is not at all probable that the university, or even a considerable portion of the faculty or student body were represented in that action. While the athletic interests very properly occupy a large place in the modern college, no one will contend that they are paramount to all else, or that athletic officers can represent their institutions in any other respect. Nebraska football snubbing Kansas football is quite different from Nebraska university snubbing Kansas university. I have no doubt that the great body of the members of the university of Nebraska felt chagrin at the action of the athletic committee. But, it is contended the manifesto was signed by a couple of members of the faculty. In reply, let it be asked, upon what ground two members of any faculty, without explicit directions, may speak for the faculty and the college? Certainly no one here would think of such a thing. More than that, it would be possible in some colleges to find instructors less qualified to act safely and sensibly than many students. No action sanctioned by two or even many more members of the faculty can be construed as thereby becoming "official."
CORRESPONDENCE
The University of Nebraska, like other such institutions, is made up mostly of reasonable, fair-minded gentlemen and gentlewomen. They are just now suffering from the influence of a few hot-headed leaders in athletics, and it would be nothing more than common courtesy for us to take no notice of their misfortune. No possible good can come from our permitting ourselves to be "insulted." Nebraska will soon be herself again and all parties will be trying to forget this episode. A standing feud between sister universities would be an unpardonable disgrace and no one with good motives and a clear head can contribute to its growth. Far above any fanciful individual rights and interests stands the fact that they are both great institutions devoted to the same sacred cause of the elevation of society and, as such, are incapable of any conflict of real interests.
N- braaska's Insult.
ON GETTING BETTER Acquainted. TO THE EDITOR OF THE WEEKLY. In the ordinary college with a hundred or two students and a half dozen or so instructors it is possible and easy for every student to know every other student, and for every teacher to know them all. But Kansas University has long since ceased to be a "freshwater college," and, like other universities, the great diversity of interests on the part of the students and teachers and the greater specialization of work, have caused the acquaintanceships and interrelations of the members of the institution to grow not only relatively but absolutely less. In the largest eastern universities one may be a member of the faculty for years and not know by sight norly all of the other members, to say nothing of the students. In my travels through the state I am frequently met with the question 'How is Mr. Smith or Mr. Jones from our town knowing along at the University?' Nine times out of ten I am compelled to answer that I am not intimately acquainted with the young man, and I fear that strict truth would often require me to say that I had never-neard of him before Such answers often cause surprise, and, I must bear the suspicion that I am something of a dullard myself. My chagrin in having to confess that I am not always intimately acquainted with the name, age and pedigree of every one of the 900 odd students was somewhat relieved the past commencement when one of the fair and reverend seniors accosted me by the name of a worthier other member of the faculty whose corporeal outline bears a not greatly exaggerated resemblance to my own. I believe, however, that this general in*

coherency a long both teachers and students is greater here than it need be. One cannot expect that any great community of interests can ever again be a reality in our University, but I certainly do expect that every member of the graduating classes shall know by sight at least all of the faculty in his own department. It is true that never in his whole course does he have the opportunity of seeing them all together. In the annual show, in which they are arranged on the platform, at least a dozen are conspicuous for their absence, or would be if the students had learned to know them by sight; and the most of the students are not present.
I would not make attendance compulsory. I would not wish to return to kindergarten methods, or even to high school ones. The students here are supposed to be gentlemen and ladies, and, as a general rule, they are, though they are sometimes apt, in abandoning childish pecadilloes to age adult vices too much.
I would like to see the experiment tried of a monthly convocation in which announcements and matters of general interest may be made known. The success and permanence of such would of course depend wholly upon the character of the exercises, but there would be no harm in trying the experiment.
Chapel exercises bring but a small proportion of the students together and a much smaller proportion of the teachers I will humbly confess that I am one of the most reprehensible in this respect. But why is there not sufficient of general interest in the University to bring out at definite intervals practically the whole University? I b-lieve that there is. The students would like to get better acquainted with their teachers. The teachers would like to see occasionally what sort of young men and young women we have in attendance here. There should be there must be much going on in the University that is of common interest to all, and there is scarcely any other way of meeting the whole student and faculty body than by a general assembly. Thanks to the greatly improved students' WEEKLY, of late this need is perhaps not as great as it has been. Still there is need. There is need of better opportunity for the students to communicate with each other; there is equa. need for better opportunity of the teachers to communicate with the student body.
Why not also try the experiment of caps and gowns among the faculty? It has grown to be a general custom in the eastern universities and the custom gives satisfaction. S. W. WILLISTON.
SOCIETY
The daily newspapers with their long lists of divorces can not dispell the charming air castles or the tempting love visions of the girl of sixteen.
Mr. Robert Wells will leave next Monday for his home in Washington, D.C., to complete his law studies. Mr. Wells has been well known in Lawrence for four years, and graduated last June from the law school. He is well known in all political and local circles, and was an enthusiastic Theta Nu Epsilon. In his departure the University loses one of its most prominent and active students.
One of the prettiest parties of the season was given December 3rd by Mr. W. Welsh Cockins, for his cousin, Miss Alice Cockins of Pennsylvania. The Phi Psi chapter house was profusely decorated with chrys-anthemums for the occasion. Miss Cockins wore a Paris green, and Miss Alice Cockins was attired is a striking scarlet
creation. About thirty couples danced and refreshed themselves with coffee and sandwiches, ices and cake, which were served during the evening.
Speaking of puzzles, just glance at the Kansas City World. Last Sunday's issue with its startling front page labeled "Types of Fair Women," caused more than one brow to knit and grow stern. Had not the descriptions been good one never could guessed which of the six possessed the fascinating characteristics of "light hair and brown eyes," or "dark hair and grey eyes," which was "winsome as a Quakerress," or the "representative of a queenly type." On indeed might have erred in confusing "the society editor" with one of the "five beauties."
Dale Hudley Gear will return after the holidays to complete his senior year of law.
The young men of the Alpha Nu chapter of the Beta Theta Pi gave their annual "Turkey Pulling" at the Chapter house Friday evening. At 6:30 a six course dinner was served in the dance hall. The prominent feature of the dinner was the turkey which had been procured by methods known only to the initiated. Those present took away with them as reminders of the occasion souvenir menu cards decorated with the Beta pink and blue and a sketch of the Turkey "before taken." The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing.

A striking blonde, the honored guest at a dinner party the other night, was the object of the following toast:
"Tielg her bonnet under her chin,
May she sometimes maybe do it again."
Speaking of neckties, recalls another occurrence. An out-of-town Theta mailed a tie to a certain young man with the followidg sad verse:
"When this you see
Remember me,
And put it where

This couple, needless to say, have not spoken since. What's a poor girl to do?

Before the next cold spell, it is to be urged that all young men fond of sleighing in double cutters, learn the position of the north star or else carry compasses. Why? Because last Saturday night two Sigma Chis lost not only themselves, but two young friends on a stone quay several miles west of the city. So bad was their bewilderment, and so puzzling were the numerous cross-roads, that it was long after 12 when the stand tower appeared in the distance, a dusky sentinel announcing that they were southwest not northwest of town.
The senior class, eighty or ninety strong will give their senior party next Thursday night at Library hall. An enjoyable time is anticipated by the class of '98 who will meet for this reunion before separating for the holidays.
Mr Mathew Smith has already received several invitations to sing at musicals to be given during the holidays.
A slender young woman of west Lawrence, not long ago presented her most devoted admirer with a beautiful neck tie, one that she had bought, cut and made all herself. It was not intended as a test of friendship, but also had the fatal effect, (as usual) of severing their happy relations. The home made necktie was too much—he found it necessary to recruit—and left for Sedgwick county several days before the regular Thanksgiving holidays began.

A number of students attended a literary at the Model school west of the city Wednesday night. Several of them took part in a debate and have now settled the question satisfactorily as to whether a bachelor leads a happier life than an old maid.
Several days ago a student casually remarked to a member of the faculty when they were alone in the class room dursing morning exercises, "It seems we are the only ones who do not attend chapel." The professor became confused and stammered some excuse. The result was that there is now not a more studious chapel attendant in the University than this professor.
The Nebraskan, a model university publication at Lincoln, is authority for the statement that Walter Camp has lost his prestige as authority on matters pertaining to football. The reason for this is that Mr. Camp copied parts of the write up of the Nebraska-Kansas game as it appeared in the Kansas City Times and also the statement of one of the officials in regard to the game.
It is remarkable how absent minded students are when reading library books. These books should be objects of general pride. Instead they are finger- and pencil-marked, and the corners of the leaves turned down. The average student when reading a book delights in finding some particularly fine passage and is able to appreciate it, without its being underscored and the words defined in scrawling pencil marks. Many fine volumes have been rendered absolutely hideous by these malpractices. Besides its passages marked are often an index to the character of the one who made them, and many times do not exhibit a particularly desirable one.
Prof. Sayre gave a very interesting and instructive lecture on colors. It was demonstrated that color has no objective existence as is commonly believed. Color of pigments depend upon the property of the material to absorb certain colors of the solar spectrum and of emitting others. In color of objects depends wholly upon this peculiar action upon sunlight or conversely upon the action of sunlight upon the substance. All of the colors of nature therefore are dependent upon the character of the sunlight. Prof. Sayre performed many experiments upon the stage to demonstrate the formation of color by chemical action. Colors were shown the audience by the aid of the electric lantern. A number of drawings were exhibited which demonstrated the effect of color upon plant tissue.

The society editor of the Lawrence Daily World, the popular down town paper, called the attention of its readers to the picture of the Lawrence society girls in Sunday's issue of the Kansas City World. Of course we purchased a copy for this express purpose and found the pictures of six popular society belles but none had such a brilliant write-up as the popular society editor of the World.
The half hour oral quizzes appear to be very popular in Prof. Adams's class in institutions. When on Tuesday the professor proposed reviewing his lectures after having had a quiz every day for a week, a little more than half of the class having occupied the chair during that time, two members of the class insisted on taking a quiz, and so were given the privilege of occupying the chairs a half hour each, while the other members of the class and the professor took turns in asking them questions.
The report is now going the rounds that animate of the Missouri penitentiary declares he has discovered a mathematical process which will entirely do away with algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, and perform their functions with one-half the labor now required. While discussing this report Prof. Miller smiled blandly, and remarked that across the whole report may be written the statement that when the alleged discoverer gets out of the penitentiary his ears will be longer than they ever were before.

The Coming Senior Reception.
The senior class social committee is making strenuous efforts to make the class reception to be given in Library hall December 16th, one of the most enjoyable events of the season. It is to be hoped that every member of the class will be present, a thing which will be necessary to make the affair a complete success. Under no circumstances should any lack of cooperation allow the affair to fall below the standard set by the Junior ghost party last spring.

The Victim Victimized
Speaking of Thanksgiving jokes reminds me.
At a boarding club just before a recent Thanksgiving, it was agreed that the steward, an arts student, and some junior laws, should procure a turkey for the great dinner. The laws were loudest in the demand that the steward should go.
The evening before the day the party started for a farmhouse near Lawrence, incidentally near a graveyard. Shortly after their arrival at the house they espied their bird. The steward was delegated to get it. He crept slyly upon his prey, and just as he was reaching for it the report of a gun deafened him. He had noticed that the fowl was tied to the bush and now saw the joke. The entire crowd took to their heels, he being behind. They had run but a short distance when one of the laws threw up his arms and cried, "My God I'm shot!" and then fell. Eell his acting was poor or his voice did not have the proper ring, for the intended victim whipped out a revolver and commanded him to run. His speed was remarkable, too, for a wounded man. The anticipated joke proved a reality. The steward seeing the success of his plan turned the revolver on the rest of the party. They soon outdistanced him and sought refuge in a ditch. The time they remained there is not known, but they did not arrive in Lawrence until a long time after their companion had reached his room. Before going out on their expedition the law students advised that no one should take a gun. The steward then anticipating something, loaded his revolver with blanks.
It leaked out afterward that another one of the law students really believed he was shot, and had to be looked over with a match before he could assure himself to the contrary.

FISCHER & SON.
A New Bible Class.
It gears almost without saying that a knowledge of mythology is necessary to an appreciation of classic literature, and to an understanding of ancient laws and social customs, but it has to be repeatedly urged upon the busy student that modern literature and social conditions can be advantageously viewed through the same medicine—the religion of the people.
While it is a delicate matter for a state institution to make a text book of a work so vital to the people as is the Bible, yet some such course as 'the English Bible, its content and influence" would give additional culture and power to many a student who now lacks and knows not what he lacks. Meanwhile this work is carried on in a measure by the several Bible classes of the Christian association in the University.
A new class is being organized at present by the Y. M. C. A. It will be composed of busy students and its aim will be to get a systematized knowledge of the Bible. The book will be read on the cooperative plan and each member will bring to class a brief of the portion assigned him for reading. These condensed reports will be read and by taking notes each member of the class may have an outline of the Bible for further reference.
The class will meet every Saturday night from 7 to 8 o'clock with Mr. Douglass, 1301 Tennessee street. Any University man interested will be made welcome and put to work.

GOOD FOR DOANE.
CRTEE, Neb. Dec. 4, 1897.
Mr. Kennedy, Captain K  U. Football
No Stock in Nebraska's Accusations.
The letter which follows is self-explanatory:
The Athletic Editor of the "Owl" Takes
No Stock in Nebraska's Accusations.
DEAR SIR;—I have been asked to write a sort of review on the football season of 1807 for our college paper, the Doane Owl.
Now as there is a great deal of talk concerning one of your men wearing car coupling pins, steel rails, corn knives," etc., during the game with the Krusnas City Medicies. I would very much like to hear the truth, and, therefore, I write to you. From the gentlemanly treatment which the Doane team received last year while at Lawrence, from the football team, faculty, and students of the Kansas University, I am loth to believe the current newspaper reports concerning the actions of your team this last season.
Any explanation of the sort of protection, the reason for wearing it, etc., will be gladly received with anything else you may see fit to add.
I have been a member of the Doane team for several years and know some of the necessities for wearing protection of one sort or another, and have no doubt that the wearing of such by your player can be justified. Yours sincerely,
ANDREW HOUSTON.
Athletic Ed. of Doane "Owl," Crete,
Nebraska.
She Speaks Right Out About the Duty of the Boys
A FORLORN GIRL.
The Freshmen are experiencing their first palpitation of university social life. They are to have a party. But many of the boys—modest fellows—are going to "stag it." The girls—poor things—are fearful of the result.
Mr. Kinzie has received a naive communication on the subject from one who does not sign her name.
Henry, President of Hancock
Honored President of Presidential Class I, a forlorn girl, knowing that many of the boys are not doing their duty toward the lady members in offering themselves as escorts to the class party and fearing that many will have to remain away or go unattended, beg to suggest a plan.
Honored President of Freshman Class
Call the boys together and have them write on slips of paper the names of the girls to whom they have offered themselves as escorts, collect these and from the class roll write the names of the remaining girls and pass these to the boys who have failed to do their duty. The boys may exchange names in case they prefer.
Now please consider this. Boys cannot know the feelings of the poor girl whose company no one seems to care for.

The following is a clipping from the Concordia Empire, Cloud county:
"Perl Decker of Lawrence township, recently candidate for register of deeds, on the democratic ticket, failing to secure the office, has entered the law school of the state university. With his fine oratorical ability he ought to make a brilliant lawyer."
And the joke of it is that Mr. Decker was on the straight democratic ticket and received some less than seventy-five votes.
A meeting of the local oratorical association was held Friday noon. It was decided that the local contest should be free to the public, all necessary expenses to be borne by the contestants. A committee of three consisting of Messrs P. S. Elliot, M. A Smith and J O Hall was appointed by the president to arrange the program and make all other necessary arrangements for holding the contest. It was agreed to hold the contest in University hall Friday, January 21.

AMUSEMENTS.
The gifted, jolly and magnetic comedienne Flo Irwin will make her first appearance in this city as a star next Tuesday (14th) evening at the opera house when she will assume the title role of John J. McMally's prize winning musical farce "The Widow Jones." Miss Irwin needs no introduction to our theatre goers as she has been long and favorably known here as a comedy artiste of rare merit and discretion. Her methods are never coarse or boisterous but always laugh compelling, while her inimitable singing of darky songs is always a delight to the ear and her costumes a feast for the eye. Old friends and new are sure to be on hand in force to see her take her place in the small galory of common stars now before the public, and it is a safe wager that she won't be the least brilliant of the lot. Rich & Harris, proprietors of this amusement enterprise, have surrounded her with an exceptionally strong company and have s tayed and costumed the piece with strict regard to the requirements of a high class production. With such a star and company in a McMally comedy, we feel that we can reasonably anticipate an entertainment of merit

ENGINEERING NOTES.
At the Electrical seminary held Friday morning the following program was given: "A Method of Measuring Phase Differences in Alternating Currents," by Prof. Rice, "The Addition to the Electrical Transmission Line from Niagara Falls to Buffalo" by Will Walker and "To What Extent Will Electricity Replace Steam as a Motive Power for Railrords?" by James Drysale.
There is some discussion among the senior engineers as to whether or not they will fall in line with the Senior arts and wear caps and gowns. It is pretty certain that if one wears them all will. Some one suggested wearing overalls and blouses at commencement.
The freshmen engineers are beginning lettering as part of their work in draughting.
Prof. Ward recently received a letter from Roscoe O'Neil '97. Mr. O'Neil is working in St Louis and has charge of a power plant. He says he was visited by Chas. Fletcher who was on his way east to accept a position in New York.
Prof Dunstan's class in thermo-dynamics are working up the details of a steam engine test made on a Westinghouse compound engine to see whether the manufacturers made any mistakes. They have found several errors, which were of course made by the manufacturer and not by the students
Prof. Franklin performed a very pretty instructive experiment before his class in theoretical chemistry Wednesday morning A glass tube was filled with carbon dioxide and its vapor and sealed up. It was then placed in a bath of parafine and heated up till the "critical temperature" was reached when the line of demarkation between the liquid and its vapor disappeared and they were both of the same density. As the vapor was exerting a high pressure on the tube there was danger of the tube's breaking, which Prof. Franklin guarded against by placing large plates of glass around the apparatus for the students to look thou and see the experiment One of the students, Robert Clark, by name

AN IDEA SUGGESTED BY A VISIT TO MARCY'S DEN.
Something About the Photographic Plant Situated Up in the Dome-There Half-Tones Are Made of Surprising Quality.
In a cosy corner, way up in the dome is Marcy's photographing establishment. It is a snug little place and is probably known to very few; but there Frank Marcy aided by his are light and machinery fashioned by himself, finishes up the views he has taken of University scenes, makes the slides which are used in the scientific department, and turns out zinc etchings and half-tones of surprising quality.
About three years ago Mr. Marcy began his experiments in amara our photography, He met with good success and was encouraged to try for some original and substantial results. His work in half tone was of extra quality. He took the first really good view of the University campus (taken from the top of the stand tower). An excellent half tone was made of this view with the result that it is the only group picture of the buildings and grounds of the University of Kansas for sale on the market. Mr. Marcy has discovered some new processes and is now anxious to try them in zine line work. He has, however, recently purchased Mr. Tucker's stock of negatives, two thousand in number, together with the entire University business of Mr. Tucker, whose "good will" he has for fifteen years, and just at present he and his assistant, Daniel Lackren, are kept very busy with view and slide work. Mr. Marcy will soon put in a second arc light, which will enable him to accelerate his work.
A reporter for the WEEKLY was very much interested in looking through Mr. Marcey's plant and examining his electrical appliances. Everything is in shipshape order and the apparatus used would show a thorough knowledge of the photographic and reproductive art—as well as the art of convenience, expedition and economy of labor.
VOL. V. NO.15.
"Where did you learn the business?" the reporter asked curiously, while handling with affectionate touch an exquisite book of views photographed direct upon handsome paper and looking almost like etchings.
"What I didnt get here, I got from books," replied the artist, for Mr. Marcey is truly of that temperament. "The only half-tones I ever saw made I made myself in my own shop. In fact I never was in an engraver's room in my life. But I love the work and study to do my best. I have much to learn yet and it makes me ambitious. At present I intend to make my half-tones so that they will print,—the art, the hand touches come later."
"I have thought of that, but I will own to have been rather more modest even in confession to myself. But I have my estimates all figured out, and, some day, if the spirit is still willing, my friends are still encouraging, and prosperity continues, I may to try do something in the Art Preservative. In the meantime, though, I'll make views and slides and an occasional half-tone and—think what may be."
The reporter grew enthusiastic. He saw in Marcy a worker with taste, an artist in love with his art who would be ungrudging in his labor, who would be capable of infinite paints, a Sanderson, perhaps,—possibly a William Morris.
"Why don't you get some one in sympathy with your work to go in with you and run a print shop in connection with your engraving plant?" Who knows but what we might have a "Kelmsett Press" of our own, or, say, an "Oread Bindery"?
the modern grand opera and will probably be the hit of the season. The parts in this musical farce will be taken by R. H. Rogers, Ed House and Edward Copley.
In speaking to a WEEKLY reporter last night Manager Harris said that he considered the club unusually strong this year. "The boys have had good preparation," said he, "and I think they will give the public a good concert."
The Glee club will be under the direction of Prof. Geo. B. Penny. The first tenors are C. L. Overlander, R H. Rogers, J. M. Piercatt; second tenors, T. H. Gibilcare, Carey J. Wilson and W. A. Cook; first bass, Ed House, Curtis Osborne and S. C. Emley; second bass, L. C. Cooper, Edward Copley, H. C. Avery and Frank House.
THE GLB E CLUB TOUR.
The selections by the Rock Chalk qua- are always among the best numbers of the program. The members of the quartette are Pleratt, Wilson, Frank and Ed. house.
The Glee and Banjo club of the University of Kansas, will leave Lawrence today for their fifth holiday tour of the state. These tours have become regular events, for college life, college boys, college songs and ditties are subjects of never failing interest in Kansas as well as in the efeast cast.
The Banjo and Mandolin club will be directed by Frank H. Robertson. The guitars are Carl L. Cooper, Arthur Williams, Leverett Adams, John B. Nicholson; mandolins, Frank Robertson, John M. Lee, George D. Rogers and C. L. Overlander; mandola, Ed. House. Curtis Osborne is accompanist.
It Will Be a Great Holiday Trip of Music, Mirth and Song.
This year the club has something entirely new in store for the fortune audience. It is an uproarous burlesque on
On their first trip the boys will make the following towns;

FINE ARTS NOTES.
Miss Anna Bundy has been the guess of Prof. and Mrs. Preyer this week.
The Euterpe club was entertained Wednesday evening by Mrs. Penny. A pleasant episode during the evening was a short serenade by the Glee club after which refreshments were served. Miss Bundy related many amusing incidents of her study and travel in Europe.
Mrs. C. A. Freyer received Wednesday afternoon in honor of Miss Bundy. She was assisted by Misses Spaulding, Miller and Wiedemann.
The school of music is to add another teacher to its list, beginning January 5th Mr. Appy, the cellist from Kansas City, will receive pupils at music hall. With Prof. Farrell back, the faculty of the school of fine arts will be complete.
On Tuesday Mr. B. B. McCall received a letter from Mr. J. S. McIntyre, chairman of the Missouri committee on the Missouri-Kansas debate, stating that out of the five questions submitted by the Kansas committee, Missouri had selected the question, "Resolved that a National Income Tax would be a desirable part of System of Taxation."

JOHNMY OUTLAND STOPS HERE ON
HIS WAY HOME.
John H. Outland, captain of the Pennsylvania team for '88, surprised his old friends by appearing at the University last Wednesday.
He is on his way to Beloit where he goes to spend the holidays with relatives. Johnny was the recipient of many congratulations and hearty hand-shakes from old friends, and the Kansas team were especially glad to meet Kansas' former brilliant half back and proud to know he had won such signal honor at Pennsylvania.
In addition to being elected captain of the Pennsylvania team Walter Camp has named him as a tackle on the "All American an" team. "Yes this seems like getting home again," he said in his usual smiling way to a WEEKLY reporter, "Those were great days, the season of '95. Well you beat Missouri this year if we didn't in '95. We had a great team and ought to have won that game but we had a very successful season anyway. Oh, of course, I am pleased with Pennsylvania's work this year. Cornell was undoubtedly our hardest game. George Woodruff said that our heads were swelled so badly that we couldn't get through the holes. "There is a great difference," he continued, "in the officials of the East and the West. In the East there is scarcely any wrangling over an official's decision. Such a time as you had at Nebraska would be an impossibility in the East. And Nebraska is inclined to kick on Mosse's so-called arm plate?" he asked with a laugh. "Well, that is funny. We wore that same kind of protection all through the practice and regular games, and it was never objected to but once, and that was at Lafayette. Paul Dashiel was umpire, and after examining them he permitted us to continue wearing them, and when Dashiel says anything is all right it is pretty apt to be right. He is one of the squarrest officials I have ever seen."
Mr. Outland complimented the team on the season's work and congratulated them on having Dr. Woodruff with them again next year. He attended the dinner given by Mrs. Hamilton in honor of the team

The WEEKLY wishes all its readers a merry Christmas and many of them.
Kansas is the first university in the league to adopt the rules of the Madison conference.
From all our sister universities now, we hear of enthusiasm in debate. Will Kansas walk in the procession?
Johnnie Outland's visit reminds us—many western universities besides Kansas have had men on the football teams of the "big four."
The Occident has dedicated the blank pages in its last issue to its contributors. The idea is a good one, but it is doubtful if the hint will be taken.
Now that Dashiel has put himself on record in defense of the woof protection, 44 is in order for the Nebraskan to proclaim his ruin the west.
Silver & Gold, the students' paper of the University of Colorado, wonders why an effort was not made to arrange a debate with Kansas or Nebraska.
A compulsory chapel attendance or a "free for all" convocation—which? The WEEKLY would like to hear further from students and faculty in regard to the matter.
The WEEKLY hopes you will make use of the correspondent's department. We can't get too many communications on live topics. If need be a supplement will be printed.
The social set of Wisconsin university are greatly agitated over the question of the Junior "Prom." The students have protested against its management being almost exclusively fraternity, although but one-fifth of the members belong to fraternities. The four-fifths will probably rule the class as they should.
The action of the Senior Annual committee, an account of which is published in another column, is perhaps a sufficient answer to the inquiry of "A Junior." The inquiry would have been very pertinent, however, a week ago. And even now it might be well for the Seniors to have a care lest the Juniors crowd their donors.
The suggestion of a correspondent in regard to a further continuation of the "K U. Ider" deserves consideration. While the stock company plan may not meet the approval of all, there should, nevertheless, be some plan suggested whereby the University may be represented by a creditable literary magazine. A general meeting of those interested in the enterprise will be called after the holiday recess.
About the "Biddie Book."
A handsome little book has reached this office from the publishing company of MacKinnon & Thomas, Chicago and Kansas City. Aside from the fact that Gomer Thomas, formerly of this city, is identified in its publication, this booklet possesses considerable interest for our people. It is entirely a Kansas product. Both Mr. MacKinnon, the other member of the publishing firm, and Mr. Sidney
Prentice, the illustrator, are Kansas men, having like Mr. Thomas been students at Kansas university. The dainty publication is called the Biddie book and introduces to the reading public the Biddies, wives to the Brownies of Palmer Cox fame. It sets forth the story of woman's rights in new and humorous form, and is comically illustrated. The booklet has already reached the news-stands and is meeting an immediate and deserved success.—Emporia Republican.

ANNUAL CHRISTMAS CONCERT.
It Was Given by the School of Music Tuesday Evening.
The annual Christmas concert by the school of music Tuesday night was a pronounced success. Although the program was long it was interesting and held attention from beginning to end.
The Glee club made an excellent appearance and will be a great credit to K. U. if they do as well on their tour. The club showed evidence of good training but their selection was not one to please a popular audience which expects from a University glee club only nonsensical selections.
The St. Cecelia society made its first appearance very creditably, although, on account of the absence of several sopranos, the voices were not as well balanced as they should have been.
Music students were in great anticipation of Miss Bundy's solo, and were not disappointed. That she has greatly improved since her graduation here in '95 goes without saying, and to musicians her solo was a rare treat. Her reception by the general audience, however, was very disappointing, and certainly discouraging to those Fine Arts students who expect to study abroad. Out of simple courtesy to a former graduate who has spent time, money and a great deal of hard work, which music study in Germany necessitates, K. U. students should have been more enthusiastic, aside from a question of merit, which considered, makes a decided reflection on K. U. audiences.
Miss Mabel Fisher of the senior class and Miss Laura Thorp of the junior, deserve special mention for their artistic solos.
Miss Gertrude Spaulding sang with unusual expression and her charming appearance added much to her number.
Mr. T. H. Gilbert sang a selection from Handel's 'Messiah.' Although Mr, Gilbert appears more at ease in ballads, his singing was a credit to him.
Mr. Frank House was missed from the Glee club and disappointed the audience in not being able to give his solo.
Mr. Appy is always well received and the enthusiastic encore which greeted him testified to his ability, as well, to please a large and varied audience.
Miss Kate Boyles played a Schumann novelte and Misses Pampel and McShea gave a two piano piece.
The concert was another success for the school of music and will be a pleasant memory to all who heard it.

About the "K, U, Idler."
CORRESPONDENCE
EDITOR WEEKLY.—In last week's issue of the "WEEKLY' appeared a communication from Dr. Williston which should receive the thoughtful consideration of every student and faculty member of the University. He has stated the situation clearly and forcibly in regard to our lack of acquaintance with each other—a situation which indeed is to be regretted. His suggestion for a remedy is fairly good, but it seems to me that it could be improved upon. If we have a monthly convocation why not have it at the chapel hour and make it compulsory upon students and professors to attend the one service, or, better yet, have such a meeting once each week, calling it a special chapel service, or convocation, or any other appropriate name. Give thirty minutes to this service instead of twenty minutes as is given daily to chapel exercises. Be sure that the Chancellor always presides and have special music for the occasion, either by the University Glee club or some other organization which would lend interest to the occasion. This would overcome the distaste which some may have for religious exercises and there could be no valid excuse for anyone staying away. At the close of the service we might give vent to a few hearty Rock Chalks in order to arouse our patriotism. Suck a gathering together once a week would bring us in touch with one another and arouse a loyal and united feeling for our "Alma Mater." x
Convocation Again
MANAGER.
Mr. EDITOR: I noticed a par `ap` in a down town paper recently stating the rumor that the “K. U. Idler” may change hands. And it occurred to me that there might be something in the rumor, for I do not see how the **WEEKLY** can afford to give for the price of one two such credible papers as the WEEKLY and the “Idler.” This may seem fulsome praise to you, but I do not mean it so. I write this because I have a plan for the continuance of the “Idler,” and I wish to give it to the readers of the WEEKLY if you can spare me space.
I think our two college papers should be run each independent of the other. This could be done by forming a stock company similar to the old "Review" company, though in the constitution I would ignore faction, not mentioning either "barb" or "frat." The shares might be one dollar each and unlimited in number. From candidates selected by the English department and the company might elect an editor, an art editor and a business manager. No need of a ponderous staff. In this way we might have a creditable literary magazine on a sound business basis. "AN IDLER."

Inquiry from a Junior.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE WEEKLY:
What has become of the senior class?
TO THE EDITOR OF THE WEEKLY.
What has become of the senior class?
Senior classes usually are on a plain so much higher than other classes that they are unapproachable, but there is one thing that I hope they may let us know about. If they are too high up to talk let them write. And the question is do they really intend to get out an Annual this year? So far we have heard nothing more than that the manager has been elected and an editorial board appointed but no plans have as yet been broached and the manager himself is either very reticent or else densely ignorant of what is going to be done.
Now if the Senior class expects to let this matter drag along until the end of the year and come out with a publication like that of last year, I for one, and I think there are others in the Junior class o the same opinion, protest. Rather than have such an unfortunate publication as the Annual of last year come out why not let the Junior class take the Annual as they do in other Universities. We have the talent, the ability, the money to push it and make a success of it. For the credit of the University I say to the Seniors either do something or give the opportunity to others.
Many members of the faculty will be in attendance at the meeting of the State Teachers' association which will meet in Topeka December 27, 28 and 29.
Some time ago a Senior law made an acquaintance on the street and passed himself by the name of a freshman arts. The freshman was not slow. He soon found occasion to make people believe that he was the Senior law. It is sad that the two are now receiving perplexing letters and the conditions are favorable for a romance

SOCIETY
Mrs. Hamilton and the young lady boarders entertained the foot ball men, Dr. and Mrs. Woodruff, Prof. and Mrs. Cowan and John Outland '95, captain of next year's Pennsylvania foot ball team, at their home on Tennessee street.
A delicious supper was served at 7:30 and extemporaneous toasts were given by Mr. Cowan, Dr. Woodruff, Mr. Kennedy, and Mr. Outland, "Sal" Walker acting as toast master.
Tableaux of popular advertisements were acted out by the girls. The guessing caused a good deal of excitement among the football heads—that instead of being bald—were only minus several inches of their this year's crop.
The Entre Nons whist club was delightfully entertained by Miss Madge Cochran last Saturday afternoon.
Dr. and Mrs. Woodruff, Prof. and Mrs.
Clark were at Keene together.
The Saint Cecelia club met Tuesday morning at Music hall. The musical program was followed by a business meeting.
One of the most athletic a. well as popular girls at the University is the heroine of the following incident which got out through the comments of her Theta sisters: In Latin class forgetfell of the slippery floor she leaned over to talk to the girl in front, titling her chair forward. The chair slipped letting her down in a heap on the floor—chair on top. Unfortunately Mr. Walker had not yet entered the room so the blushing maiden was assisted by others.
The home of Frank Banks on Tennessee street was the scene of a most agreeable party last Saturday night, when the Phi Delt fraternity entertained their lady friends. The house was profusely decorated with palms and flowers. Progressive whist was the game of the evening, and the prize was won by Miss Hansen. Miss Watson and Miss Gillham assisted in entertaining. Those invited were Misses Maxwell, Moore, Brown, McCrory, Havens, Wagstaff, Morris, Taylor, Howland, Fraser and Gaddis.
He was a base ball player, and he asked a short girl to go to a party.
Yes? And what did the girl say?
Well, she agreed, indeed, she was sure she would be delighted, provided—she expressed this very slowly—proyided he would not try the "Yale lead."
"I won't promise" he began, "I tell you—
But he was interrupted by an emphatic "Well then, that settles it. I shan't go."
Well then, that settles it. I don't go.
They were quiet a minute, then with a straight-forward business like air, he said slowly
"I'll tell you what I do, I'll compromise."
"All right."
"You come and go," he continued, "and I' do your way."
"Foor man," thought a stander by,
"hen pecked already."
Why will a man smoke and swear and let the buttons stay off his coat, then fuss because a girl's hair comes out of curl?
The Salamagundi party held by the Juniors in Odd Fellows' hall Saturday night was a most enjoyable affair. The early part of the evening was devoted to progressive games. About 10:30 o'clock light refreshments were served. After a couple humorous resitations by Mr.Wheeler, the music began and the remainder of the time was spent in dancing
During the evening a motion was made that a vote of thanks be given the enter
tainment committee for their work in the interest of the party. But the motion should have been more explicit and mentioned particularly the names of Miss Bowen, Miss Stone and Miss Hyde. These young ladies especially merited the thanks of the class of '99.
At midnight the crowd dispersed and there was not one of the sixty Juniors present but felt that the party has been a great success, and that he had derived through it a deeper interest in the "Crimson and Cream."
The Sophomores gave their class party at Frazer hall Thursday night. At the same time the Freshmen were enjoying themselves in Library hall. The Senior annual also for Thursday evening was postponed.
Mr. John Collins gave a chafing dish party at the Beta chapter house last Thursday evening. The party was in honor of Miss Katherine Broadhead of Washington, D.C.
The following are the dates set for the annual parties:
Phi Gam, February 18
Theta, February 11.
Kappa, April 22.
Pi Phi, February 21.
Pbi Gam, February 18
Bi Pbi, February 17
Mr. Robert Wells entertained the Theta Nu Epsilons at a banquet last Monday night before his departure for Washington, D.C.
The Sigma Chis will give a "house warming" in their new chapter rooms early next year. They have rented Journal hall and the adjoining parlor and will be at home to their friends every few weeks.
Billy Cockins will spend the holidays in Nebraska.
Miss Nelle Dodge left for her home in Beloit last Thursday. Miss Dodge was a great favorite among those who knew her, and her friends regret exceedingly that she will not return to the University.
On Tuesday evening the Pi Phis gave a cooky-shine at the home of Harriet Ayres. The cooky-shine is strictly a Pi Phi institution and the one given last night in honor of the return of Miss Edith Snow, was even jollier than usual; the feature of the evening was the impromptu presentation of Uncle Tom's Cabin. Satie Taylor as little Eva showed much talent; Bessie Ayres made a delightful Uncle Tom, while Gertrude Hill made a fierce and effective pack of Cuban blood hounds.

Princeton will graduate only three regular players, says the Alumni Princetonian Captain Cochran, right end, Bannard and Kelly, halves. Cochran has played four years, and is consequently ineligible to play again. It is probable, however, that Kelly may return and take a post graduate course. Reiter will attend the seminary next year and will again be eligible. Among other promising candidates for back of the line positions will be Ayres, G. Lathrophe, Crane and Suter. Wheeler and Baird will both return. The captain has not even been elected.
In the line Holt, Crowdis, Booth, Edwards and Hillebrand, will all return to college. This will leave the end position to be filled.
Harvard loses both ends, Captain Cabot and Moulton; Wheeler, left tackle, Bouve and Haskell, guards; and Garrison quarterback; and of the substitutes, Shaw, Graydon, Brown, Cozzens and Sullivan. The only places that will be difficult to fill are the ends and guards, in which positions there is a dearth of material at Harvard.
At Pennsylvania, Captain Minds, Jackson, Weeks and Boyle will not return, but as all the substitutes are coming back, the prospects are good for a strong team next year.

The Snow Literary society gave an enjoyable program last Friday night.
A fair sized audience was in attendance and the preparation of those who appeared upon the program was excellent.
An extempore speech of G. W. Stevens upon the subject "Shall the Regents of the University Give the Literary Societies Financial Support?" was very earnest in the affirmative and gave the members of the Snow an impulse toward obtaining a society hall for the exclusive use of that organization.
a study in his oration upon 'Cromwe. The debate was lively upon the question Resolved, That the proposition now before the faculty, providing for partial substitution of biological and physical sciences for entrance language, should be adopted. Messrs Welsh and Ubl supported the affirmative, while Messrs Stevens and Phillips spoke upon the negative. The contest was animated, the affirmative taking the ground that the present language requirements for admission to the University were detrimental to the average student, requiring his time and energy upon uncongenial subjects. The negative made their stand upon the statement that the high schools of the state could not furnish the proper instruction in these sciences. After the regular debate the questions was warmly discussed both pro and con in the miscellaneous debate, the speeches being short but spirited and to the point.
In the absence of the president, Mr.
Crisman, Vice President Messery officiated.
C. G. Messley showed much thought and study in his oration upon "Cromwell."
Col. O. E. Learnard acted as critic, and gave a very happy and encouraging report. He expressed his sympathy for such training as a literary society gives, and attributed much of the success of New England in national affairs to the "town-meeting."
The business session was given up chiefly to the election of officers for the ensuing term. The election resulted as follows: President, Geo. R. Crisman; vice-president, G. W. Stevens; secretary, Miss H. M Reed; treasurer, W. H. Greider; sergeant-at-arms, C. G. Messery; reporter, I. S. Laughlin.

SENATOR HARRIS' BILL.
It Provides for the Payment of Claims Transferred to the University by
Transferred to the University Emigrant Aid Society.
Senator W. A. Harris has introduced into the United States senate a bill providing for the payment of the claim held by the University against the government, which claim was received from the New England Emigrant Aid society at the time of its dissolution several months ago. The bill has been read twice and referred to the committee on claims. It is as follows:
A bill for the relief of the University of Kansas.
Whereas on or about the twentieth day of May, eighteen hundred and fifty-six, Deputy United States Marshal and Sheriff Jones, with a pose, acting directly on the findings of the United States grand jury, called by Judge Lecompte of the United States court, sitting at Lecompton, entered the town of Lawrence and destroyed the Free State hotel, owned by the New England Emigrant Aid company; and
Whereas some time after said company presented a claim for damages in the amount of twenty thousand dollars to the United States government; and
ite it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in congress assembled, that the secretary of the treasury be, and he is hereby, authorized and directed to pay to said University of Kansas, out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated. the sum of twenty thousand dollars, in full settlement of said.
Whereas the said company, before its dissolution, transferred said claim to the University of Kansas. Therefore,

PROPOSED CHANGE IN COURRE.
If Dr. Williston's Motion Carries There Will Be More Science Required.
A reporter for the WEEKLY asked Chancellor Snow about the proposed change in the requirements for admission into the School of Arts. He said: "Nothing has been done. The subject is"in the hands of a committee. The committee has a laborious task and they will need time for much study."
Dr Williston who brought the subject before the council was next seen. His point of view is not that of a narrow scientist for, when a youth, he studied Latin and Greek for the prescribed time of six years each, and now is master of three or four modern languages. But he thinks that nowhere will a person learn better to think exactly than in the natural sciences 'Nowhere will he be more impressed with the importance of truth for truth's sake.
Mr. Williston says that among the graduates of the University of Kansas with whom he is best acquainted there are not more than one half who have had any training in the natural sciences, with the exception of a few weeks in physics and chemistry, and perhaps a smattering of physiology. The simplest facts in natural history are as utterly unknown to them as is the prosody of the Hebrew language. They do not know the simplest functions of their own bodies. Many graduates in arts of our universities could not tell whether or not they have either pancreas or diaphragm. If such blunders as speaking of a porpoise or a lobster as a fish were considered as evidence of ignorance and ill breeding as mistakes in grammar are, how many of our college graduates would be educated?
"The effect of the present requirements for admission to the colleges and university of Kansas has been," said Mr. Williston, "in a high degrees disastrous to science instruction in the secondary schools."
"Were I then to say what the universities and colleges ought to do it would be this:
Make all the ancient language requirements for admission optional, and demand as much preparation in the physical and biological sciences as in the foreign languages. The preparation in English should be made far more rigorous and thorough. In the college course, if anything besides English is required, and I think there should be, I would have the natural science as necessary a part of the education as language and mathematics. I would not have it possible for a student to graduate from the college without having studied, and thoroughly studied, mathematics as far as triometry, at least one foreign language, and at least one physical and one biological science. And I do not mean a few weeks of study in any of these branches, but exhaustive, careful, critical study.
"The methods of study in all these branches are diverse and are absolutely essential for symmetrical mind-building.
"Furthermore, an indefinite, haphazad selection of studies in the college course should be impossible. The course should be, so far as possible, adapted to the capacities, tastes and abilities of the individual, and this does not mean an indiscriminate selection on the part of the student. A person with feebly developed muscles might naturally prefer those physical exercises in which such muscles would
It is through the great universities, and especially the state universities, that the solution of the problems of professional education must come, and in fact has come for some of the professions. With such cultural training as is best adapted to the lawyers' need, the college course should include all the strictly non-professional branches, leaving the student, after he has completed his course as Bachelor of Arts in law, to take up the work of the professional school and complete it in two years with the degree of Doctor of Laws. In the medical course there are even greater opportunities than in law. The medical colleges should resign to the undergraduate arts course all the non-professional branches. And the work rightfully belongs there. The best chemical laboratories in the United States are not in the medical colleges, but in the universities. Nowhere are physiology, histology and anatomy better taught than outside of medical colleges. As in engineering, there should be harmonious course leading through the high school to the Bachelor of Arts in medicine, preparatory to two years of strictly professional work with the degree of Doctor of Medicine.
"When such training as this is demanded of all aspirants to professional practice we shall have uniformly well educated men in the professions, and not until then.
