A NEW FRAT?
IT IS RUMORED THAT ONE WILL BE ORGANIZED.
Prominent Barb Girls Mentored as Members—The Entre Nous Whist Club May Ba Used as a Nucleus— The Report Denied.
It has been rumored during the past week that an effort is being made by some of the Barb girls to bring a new sorority to Kansas University. Some of those associated with the movement are said to be Misses Ida and Stella Case, Miss Radford, Miss Grover and Miss Cubine.
The report is denied, but it is known that some interested person has taken the pains to look up the pedigree of eligible girls and to make application for a charter for a chapter of Alpha Phi. In order to get a chapter here it is necessary to obtain recognition from the existing sororities, and this, together with the fact that the girls who would like to join have some natural timidity, has been a stumbling stone.
It is known that a certain young lady who was pledged to a fraternity at another school which she attended, has had an ambition to found a fraternity here. A short time before Christmas she was active in the formation of a Whist club known as the Entre Nous. The girls who thus associated themselves together have become very intimate, and are seen constantly together in little groups in the halls. They attended the Christmas concert in a body, and in the same way, the Merchant of Venice and the celebration of the Iowa game. In other ways they have shown a sisterly affection.
Among the members of the Entire Nous are Misses Hickey, Crawford, Cubine, Henrich, Case, Peck, Cochran, Grover and Piatt. Miss Ethel Hickey is president of the club.
"If there is such a move contemplated," said Miss Hickey, "I know nothing of it, and I should think the girls would have taken me into their confidence. I am a thorough Barb girl, have always been one, and would have nothing to do with the formation of a new fraternity."
Miss Hickey was asked this morning about the rumored change of the Entre Nous into a chapter of Alpha Phi. She was very emphatic in her denial of any such intentions.
"Would you join providing one were organized?"
"I certainly should not."
"Do you know of a new sorority being organized?"
"I have heard rumors, but do not believe them. I would leave the Entre Nous if I thought such a thing were contemplated."
"If they are thinking of such a thing, they are very foolish," said she. "I think all the talk has been created by the girls of our club being so thick together. All the girls I have talked to are very indignant about the rumor, and they all intend to go to the next barb party and dance with the barbiest boy they can find."
Miss Crawford, who is the Barb secretary of the Senior class, laughed at the idea of the girls attempting to get a charter from Alpha Phi.
"I know, however," she added, "that there are some Barb girls who would like to get into a fraternity and they may try to organize the Alpha Phi."
A largely attended meeting of the three young ladies' fraternities was held at Mrs. Bowersock's home last Saturday afternoon. The object of this meeting was to obtain an expression of opinion concerning the use of intoxicants at parties, and to discuss means of discouraging this use. The girls present expressed individually their disapproval of the practice, and their willingness to discourage it in every way possible. A resolution was passed pledging the girls to leave the next fraternity dance in a body at which the color of liquor should be detected on the breath of any young man present.

Fine tobacco and cigars at Smith's News Depot.
Now that the early evenings have set in one of the inconveniences of Snow Hall is being felt extremely. Snow'Hall is the only building on the hill that is not fitted with electric lights and very frequently we cannot obtain sufficient light to carry on the work, especially is this so in the Journal club meetings, when light sufficient to illustrate the subject under discussion is generally lacking.
An exceptionally enthusiastic meeting of the Sigma Xi was held last Wednesday night with Prof. Barber, Mr. Beede and Prof. Palmer were initiated, and Prof. Barber gave a very interesting talk on "Immunity in Infectious Diseases."
At the meeting of the Journal Club Wednesday evening Prof. Stevens continued his review on' A Strasberger's View of Nuclein Division and Cryptoplasm Structure."
The Zoological department has submitted several new courses in zoology which have been adopted by the faculty:
Zoology I is a course in general zoology for all students and is preliminary to the other course. It will consist of lectures and laboratory work under Prof. Dyche.
Zoology III, Morphological zoology will consist of lectures and laboratory work under Prof. Dyche in the way of a comparative study of Types.
Zoology II, systematic and descriptive zoology and is a study of the general anatomy of species. This also will consist of lectures and laboratory work under Prof. Dyche.
Zoology IV. Histology or microscopic anatomy will consist of lectures and laboratory work under Prof. McClung
Zoology V. Cytology or cellular biology This also will be mainly lectures and laboratory work under the supervision of Mr McClung.
Zoology VI. Embryology. Laboratory work and lectures by Mr. McClung.
Zoology VII. Will consist of original work in courses II, III, IV, V, and VI and will be in charge of Profs. Dyche and McClung
Courses I, II and III will be undergraduate work; IV, V and VI can be taken by under-graduates but VIII will be entirely graduate work.
Now that the large aquaria are completed a number of smaller ones are being made. A nurseryman of Marion county, has sent into the entomological department the first instance of a scale insect on willow trees. This insect is similar to one that infests pine trees, and its technical name is Chronaspis Sullic-Nisrae.
Mr. McClung is engaged in getting the refractive index of a large number of ores and also in testing the different media for mounting preparation in order to find out such media as will show the preparation best on examination. He has examined about thirty-five so far.
The Grasshopper Bulletin published by the entomological department has been well received. The Kansas Farmer print ed it in full and it will appear in the Farm and Field of Denver, Colorado, at an early date.
The following is told of a junior law. He stood at a Lawrence bargain counter, nervous and perplexed. The clerk had given him half an hour of her time. She had pointed out the beauty of both the pin cushion and the hand mirror and had finally left him knitting his brow, undergoing a severe mental strain. With an irritable movement he left the store and went to the nearest alley with feverish haste. He looked about as if contemplating some crime. Then he quickly took a silver dollar from his pocket and turned it over and over in his hands behind his back. Suddenly he tossed it into the air and eagerly watched it come to rest at his feet. He paused but a moment, then picked up the dollar and with a determined air went straight way to the bargain counter and astonished the clerk whom he had so recently left by speaking in firm tones. "I will take the pin cushion.
He Took the Pin Cushion.
Women's League Reception
The Women's League will hold a reception to which they invite the faculty and all students of the university, young men and young women, at the chancellor's house on Saturday afternoon, Jan. 29th, from 3 until 6 o'clock.
PIPE ORGAN CONCERT.
THE FIRST EVER GIVEN IN UNIVERSITY CHAPEL.
It Was a Fitting Dedication of the Grand Pipe Organ -The Concert a Success in Every Way.
The first organ concert, which took place Friday night, was an event in the history of Kansas State University. The large audience was appreciative almost to enthusiasm.
The great electric organ is an addition to the chapel; its handsome work and the array of gilded pipes make an imposing ornament. That the mechanism is as handsome in its way as its exterior, was demonstrated Friday night, for the variety of tone, the many combinations and the easy manner of operating them, showed a perfection seldom found in an organ of its size, and gives the organist an unusual advantage. The long delay of the organ in reaching Lawrence and the time it has taken to put it up served to heighten anticipation and the well filled chapel testified to the interest taken by students and Lawrence people. The University has long needed a pipe organ, and artists may now be secured for the lecture and music courses who were not hitherto available.
The program, designed with a view of making it a souvenir, was certainly not a pleasant remembrance of the occasion. The classical, well arranged musical program which was rendered, deserved a more appropriate setting than the poor paper and printing with which it was coupled. As a program, the attempt was a success, but as a souvenir, it was a failure.
The manner of illustrating the different uses of the organ, as in concert music; with other solo instruments; in church music; in choral music; and with congregational singing showed advantageously the many ways the organ may be used.
In the first number, a heavy Bach composition, Prof. Penny not only showed his own skill, but the ease of operating the different stops and the advantage of the electric mechanism as well. That Prof. Penny ranks highly as a concert organist, is now a well established fact. His selections showed excellent taste and were particularly appropriate for the opening concert. That Bach should occupy a prominent place on the program of a high grade organ recital, goes without saying. He wrote some of the best and greatest organ music ever written and in many respects, he has never been equalled. The majority of his compositions are for the organ. The Tocatta and Fugue in Dorinor is very difficult and illustrates the great art of Bach as a composer of fugues.
The second number, the well known "Fantasie Triomphale," was well rendered. It was composed for the inaguration of the Chicago Auditorium organ, and it makes a fine concert number. The composer is Dubois; organist of the "Madeline" in Paris.
In the third number, a Liszt concerto, Prof. Preyer was accompanied by Miss Wilson and Prof. Penny, Prof. Preyer's playing needs no extended mention here, as his selections are always artistically rendered and his playing Friday night was but another proof of its excellence. It is the first time a Lawrence audience has had an opportunity of hearing one of the great concertos with the accompaniment of a pipe organ. This concerto is written in a sonata form modified so that it is something of a symphonic poem, and is beautiful as regards melody, the first requisite of a musical composition.
Mr. Stevens sang in his usual manner and was well received. His selection was a classic solo which requires musical ability and a good voice for a successful rendition. Its composer, Goundn, is a writer whose productions are among the best, and he has the gift of presenting a theme in a pleasing manner to all, which makes his compositions classic and popular.
Illustrating the organ in church music, Mr. Hopkins played a prelude by Van Der Bergaunt, a paraphase of the "Lorele" by Silcher, and a posthue by Merkel, an organist of high rank and at one time court  organist at Dresden. These

GENERAL GORDON COMING.
Every student in the University should hear General Gordon's great lecture upon "The Last Days of the Confederacy." This will be the last chance to hear this lecture, as General Gordon positively declares that this is his last lecture trip. General Gordon is one of the most famous of American platform speakers. He is fluent, ready in delivery, and possesses fine descriptive power. He is a native of Georgia, which state he at one time represented in the United States senate.
An Opportunity to Hear a Very Eloquent Speaker.
He is thoroughly familiar with the history of the confederacy, as well as with general American politics, so that his lecture is a veritable mine of information.
He is a scholar and a thinker, as well as an eloquent and well informed man. It is to be hoped that every student will avail himself of the chance to bear this polished speaker. Such a chance does not often occur. The admission to the lecture is 50 cents or for 75 cents a course ticket, admitting to General Gordon's lecture, and the three remaining entertainments of the lecture course may be secured. Do not forget the date. January 25 in the University Chapel.
Miss Georgia Brown will teach a term of ten lessons in dancing at Pythian hall beginning January 10 at 8 p.m. It is requested that pupils will make application at residence, 1217 Rhode Island street for admission to school.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JAN. 15. 1898.
The new frat with true Barb spirit is not exclusive. It is asking "most anyone that looks willing."
There is consolation in the fact that there may be a few Barb girls left even after the organization of Alpha Phi.
The girls already regret the hasty action taken at their mass meeting. Their intentions were good, but they were ill-advised.
Turning a whist club into a fraternity is a novel idea, one well worthy of the brilliant minds which compose the Alpha Phi.
The Alpha Phi seems to be having a hard time to gain recognition from the other securities. The Barbs will be glad to recognize it at once.
The faculty are investigating oratory in the University. This may even induce a visible presence of the faculty at the contest on Friday night. The contest will be free.
The Topesa Capital advises a press censor for the Washburn Review. The cause was a grossly indelicate editorial which appeared in the latter paper anent the "college lead."
The dedication of the pipe organ last evening was filly imposing. Never before has a University audience been treated to so grand a concert. That it was by home talent speaks volumes for our growing music school.
The athlete election despite a spitted contest, ended in a writable love feast. It is useless to try to keep very far apart those truly interested in University athletics, especially when such wise selections are made for the three managers and the captain of track athletics.
The election yeaterday was an evident endorsement of the policy pursued by the WEEKLY board during the past term, and the new editor announces that he will continue the policy of giving the students a newspaper. Mr.Wood is well qualified for the position which he takes with the beginning of next term, having had experience in high school journalism and in literary work during his four years' course at Kansas University. The unanimous vote given Mr. Wood attests the confidence in him of the WEEKLY stockholders and the University public.
We notice with a thrill that that there is a pleasant row on between the Coyote of Emporia and the Baker Orange. The Orange struck first, the blow was carried and a vicious home thrust given by the Coyote in these words:
"In speaking of the Coyote the Baker Orange remarks: " Its mission seems to be to furnish 'soreheads' and chronic kickers a place to vent their feelings." From an artistic point of view it would be a real nice thing for a few 'soreheads' show you what it's like to be a Baker to the Orange several things about getting out a college paper. The Orange is the worst looking paper that is published in the state."
Mistaken Solicitude
No good can come of the action taken by the mass meeting of the women's fraternities. If the evil have existed which it was the purpose of the meeting to decry the wrong method was employed to remedy it.
Mass meetings and indignation assemblies are at best clummy weapons for reform. They are not the way to get at the sound and sober sentiment and judgment of the people. American humor has taught us to laugh at cranks, fanatics and martyrs. Men who die at the stake nine times every year with feline perversity soon lose public sympathy for their sacrifice. They may die sincerely eight times, calling forth, peraps, a tear or two, but the ninth time is pretty apt to be the anti-climax, provoking doubt of the efficacy of the sacrificial fire.
The mass meeting in question was proposed by outsiders who knew nothing of the existence of tha evil which they were so zealous to correct. They were badly misinformed if they really believed that drinking is common at fraternity parties. But even admitting that there are some who so far forget the respect due to ladies at a social gathering as to indulge in liquors and taint their breaths, the better way would have been to ostracize the offenders rather than to bring the frawnitions as a whole into public disrepute. It certainly would have been far more ladlike and far more courageous for the young women to refuse invitations to the boys who do not behave like gentlemen than to take refuge in the cowardly makeshift of a mass meeting. The three Thetas who alone voted against the resolutions of the mass meeting took this view of the matter. They do not wish to be understood as countenancing drinking at parties; neither do they wish to call public attention to their moral endeavors. Heroic measures to correct an exaggerated evil may make a good cause ridiculous and nillful good influence. It is to be hoped the action of the girls will not have an opposite effect to that intended
The Nebraskaan in writing an account of the league meeting says that the Kansas delegate sent a report to the daily press to the effect that the awarding of the pennant was indefinitely postponed. The Kansas delegate sent out a report that the league indefinitely postponed action in regard to the Kansas-Nebraska game, but said in his report that the pennant was awarded to Nebraska because she had scored more points aalmst Missouri than Kansas had. The Nebraskaan however, failed to state that Kansas had a letter from Walter Camp which said that such a game as the Kansas-Nebraska contest could only be called an unfinished game. But then of course Nebraska claims that Walter Camp has no standing in the west.

Things have changed here since Will White went to school and tried in vain to break into West Lawrence society. Hand-me-down dress suits and rented rubbers have long ceased to be an item in a young man's wardrobe. But since Will has become a great man he can afford to be pleasantly reminiscent of his cheaper days before he discovered what the matter is with Kansas.
Taken at its worst the fraternity girls tainted merely the members of the young men's fraternities and these compose less than one-tenth of the membership of the University.
Whatever may be said of the girls' mass meeting, it may have been unwise, it was n't disgraceful. The use of intoxicants at parties is disgraceful, and if a youth has such a habit, he should be tabooed.
And so Mark Hanna was elected senator and one more blow given to the masquerade of treachery, hyporythmia and deceit in the name of reform!
If you are an orator attend the contest next Friday evening. If you are not an orator, attend it anyway.
Miss Laura Lockwood, who will receive her degree of Ph. D., in June, has prepared as a thesis for the doctorate "A Lexicon to the Poetical Works of Milton." Some two years ago she sent specimen sheets of her book to London for the approval of Macmillan & Co., who immediately accepted the work, agreeing to assume the expenses of its publication and to pay the author a royalty. The volume is now practically completed and will be published in a few months.—New York Sun.
The 'after-clap' of a great moral movement is pretty apt to indicate what kind of a movement it is.

Miss Lockwood is a Kansas University girl, a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma. She obtained her degree here in '91.
CORRESPONDENCE
The Annual Again.
Matters pertaining to the Senior Annual have taken the shape anticipated by the manager, and for which preparations had been quietly begun. This statement is not made in a boastful spirit, but to set at rest the mind of "a Junior."
To the Editor.
Although the manager advised the board to be "reticent" he may, without impropriety, say that a glance at the personnel of the board ought to assure the friends of the Annual that the subject matter of the forthcoming work will be of superior merit. The manager will spare no expense to make the form worthy of the subject matter.
But the manager has a confession to make—he admits that he is "densely ignorant" of any rule whereby a member of one class may publicly call to account the officers of another class higher or lower. In an old book which "a Junior has probably heard mentioned in lectures on literature there is the precept, 'Who art thou that judges another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or failth.' Very cordially.
THE MANAGER.
LAWRENCE. Jan. 11, 1898.
To the Editor of the WEEKLY.
"It was with apprehension that I read the recent article and press comments in the daily papers about the liquor crusade of the fraternity girls. Society must have sally degenerated since I left old K. U. These articles amount almost to scandal. At first I refused to believe that such a state of affairs existed, but when professors were called upon to express opinions, some of them praising the girls in their work, it seems there must have been some foundation, however small, for the report. When "soriorities" take up such a crusade, and publish their intentions openly there must be dire need of reform. This crusade is confined, apparently to fraternity circles; the boys cannot refuse the demands of Bacchus just before or even during some swell society ball. The idea of a tipsy student at a Pythian hall reception for out of town friends is indeed shocking! But could not these reforms have been carried on secret? Was there any necessity for publishing it to the world that such an extreme measure as boycott had to be employed by the girls to make their chosen brothers act like gentlemen even on special occasions? If the revolt was unprovoked and created merely to attract attention, it will certainly prove a sad experiment. The interest of the university should have been considered paramount to all others. Such a report, if unfounded is certainly not the result of mature thought. Our school is the pride of our state and it is disagreeable to think that she should be disgraced for the cleansing of a Lawrence fraternity society."
The primary principle of fraternities used to be and I suppose, still is. "To better man and woman."
The idea of publishing such vices and the avowed intention of curing them by the cold shoulder method is unique to say the least. The cooperation of newspapers, sectarian schools, and politicians who decry the school as a "hotbed of rottenness" can hardly be relied upon in the matter. Is it really true, as one of the professors says, that almost one-tenth of the students are addicted to drink? The fraternities do not comprise one-fifth of the students, and yet they must possess a considerable number of the above mentioned one-tenth to come so distinctly under the observation of the girls. The papers containing articles derogatory to the University have been circulated through hundreds and thousands of homes in the past week. The articles are topics of general discussion. People only half advised are apt to jump at conclusions. Many parents are anxious about the welfare of their children, whom they sent here to school with perfect assurance that they would be free from temptation. Fathers who contemplated sending their childern here to school will be slow to do so after having read such an exposition.
And now comes the report that several West Lawrence girls are indignant over having their names signed to the resolutions which were published in the Capital. This makes the matter seem more than ever a fake. If the girls really had the interests of the young men at heart, they would have no hesitancy in signing any article which might benefit the men. Now that I think, it occurs to me that it has been common with all fraternity girls to be inflamed with some desire to do something odd, to create talk. Perhaps this crusade was launched with that intent. The move was proposed and put through on the spur of the moment, for I believe that on calm reflection they would have cast the plan entirely aside. Altough I was always a Barb, I respected the aims of fraternities. I never knew

ATHLETIC ELECTION
Team Managers Chosen for the Coming Year.
The Athletic board met at noon Wednesday for the regular election of team managers. All the members were present, Dean Green presiding.
After the minutes of the last meeting were read and approved, Mr. Johnson moved that the board proceed to the nomination of candidates for managers of base ball, football and track athletics, after which an informal ballot be taken on the nominees. The motion prevailed and Mr. Snyder was placed in nomination by Mr. Souder for manager of base ball; Mr. Jackson, by Mr. McKinnie for manager of football, and Mr. McKay was nominated by Mr. Boone for manager of track athletics. Other nominations being called for, Mr. Walker in a neat speech stated the action taken by the football team and named Mr. Hess as the candidate of the team for football manager. Prof. Adams then arose to second the nomination of Mr. Jackson. He voiced the sentiments of the board when he explained why he preferred a man for manager who was not a player. He complimented Mr. Hess and the whole football team very highly, but for business reasons and for reasons affecting athletics as a whole thought a man should be elected who could give his whole time outside of that required by his studies to looking after the business interests of the team.
The informal ballot resulted: Jackson
1. Hass 7. Svender 1. McKav 1.
Mr. Walker then moved to make the election of Mr. Jackson, Mr. Snyder, and Mr. McKay unanimous, which was carried.
Mr. Speak was unanimously chose captain of track athletics.
On motion of Captain Mose and Prof. Adams, the chairman appointed a committee to formulate a plan for awarding the "K" honor. The committee is Mose, Adams, and Walker, and on call of the chairman the board will meet again to receive the report of the committee.

Now girls, if you must be individual, do something in which they shall be some real good. Start at home with your reform. Loud talking when congregated in the halls so as to attract every one's attention is not conduct befitting a young lady who has aspirations for honor. Good rank in classes is also a desirable thing. The latter does not go in hand with promenading (the street from noon till night. The idea of going around to your steady's home every night and whistling him out is also a bad plan.

Students Play Good Bail. in Del. Valentin's Town.
The score is no criterion; the students, although lighter, were much faster and better trained than their opponents and clearly outplayed them. They suffered severely through the officials' who were local men and who by their prejudices and ignorance of the game made the students suffer heavily through penalizing and barring plays that were new to them. The grounds were in horrible shape, being covered with mud three or four inches thick and in many places by pools of water and slush. The teams lined up at 3 o'clock as follows:
Clay Center
Student15. Clay Center.
Trowbridge... Right End... Thereck
Yale... Right Tackle... Boner-Bloss
Horkman... Right Guard... Goudy
Kluster... Center... Morgan
Schrader... Left Guard... Powers
Wickstrum... Left Tackle... Latta
Charles... Left End... O'Barrian
Reynolds... Quarter Back... Davis
Kreamer... Right Half... Diller
Parrott... Left Half... Lewis
Silver... Full Back... Douglas
Clay Center wins the toss and takes the ball. K. U. has the north goal. Latta kicks off and Parrott returns five yards. Silver punts for thirty yards and the ball is in the center of the field. Daller gains two yards by hitting the line and Lewis advances another yard but loses fifteen on an end run. K. U's ball and Charles is put around right end for twenty-five yards. Clay Center is given fifteen yards on a foul tackle. Horkman, Schrader Kreamer, Parrott and Silver advance the ball by continued gains to the thirty yard line and Silver tries a field goal, but the ball passes below the bar. Latta kicks off from the twenty-five yard line and Kreamer returns fifteen. K. U. tries the "turtle back" play for ten yards but is penalized for fifteen yards and the play is barred. Repeated line bucking carries the ball to Clay Center's thirty yard line again and K. U. loses fifteen yards on a fumble at kicking a field goal.
FIRST HALF.
Time is called with the ball in Clay Center's territory. Score—K. U., 0; Clay Center, 0.
8ECOND HALF.
Schrader kicks off. Diller and Lewis try the ends for losses, and Douglas bucks the line for no gain. K. U's ball. The students work the cross tandem plays repeatedly and carry the ball to the twenty-five yard line. Charles skirts right end for a touch down. The play is not allowed for some reason or other, and Clay center takes a brace and gets the ball on downs. Diller and Lewis fell to gain and Douglas punts for twenty-five yards. K. U. now begins to play hard and fast. Kreamer hits the line for four yards; schrader for three, Horkman for three and Parrott for three; Charles goes around the end for ten yards and Silver gains three yards and repeats it. Schrader and Horkman hit the ends for a net gain of fifteen yards, and Silver, by a pretty play against left end, goes over for a touch down. Silver kicks an easy goal. K.U. 6, Clay Center 0.
Latta kicks off and added by splendid interference Kreamer returns the ball almost to the center of the field. K U. keeps up the pressure and advances the ball to the thirty yard line. Boner is hurt and Bloss takes his place. In the next play Douglas is knocked senseless and tries to get into a fight with Silver. The ball is advanced to the fifteen yard line when a fumble gives the ball to Clay Center. Douglas and Diller make slight gains by bucking the line and their two ends are called back for some trick play when time is called. Final score. K U. 6. Clay Center 0.
NOTES.
The K. U. half backs made their best gains when the other fellows had the ball almost invariably downing Diller and Lewis for losses.
Thedreck, Trowbridge, Goudy and Diller, all expect to attend the University and to try for the "Varsly" team next fall. Thedreck and Trowbridge are good men.
The students were much lighter but Clav Center made very few gains of any kind.
This clipping from the Republic City News justly describes the game. "There was scarcely a screcmage but some

pieces are all enjoyable, and Mr. Hopkins played them well. He brings a great deal out of a composition, and his playing is always satisfactory.
Continued from page 1.
Mendelssohn's "If With All Your Hearts," is one of the most beautiful melodies ever written. It is taken from the English and its beauty consists of its simplicity as it needs no heavy or embellished accompaniment to make it impressive. Mr. Rodgers always interprets his selections with a great deal of feeling and he added much to the beautiful aria by his interpretation.
Mr. Marvin played an Idylle by Dudley Buck, a serenade by Widor and a march by Smart. His selections were well liked, although not as well known as they should be, and will gain interest by repetition. Mr. Marvin deserves much credit for his mastery rendition.
Mrs. Dunlap sang a well known sacred solo by Dudley Buck, "Fear not Ye Israel." She sang well and her number was well liked although it has often been heard before.
The last two numbers, by two of the greatest of organ composers, Guilmont and Rink, were played by Prof. Penny. It was a fitting close to the concert, that the organ was used in the congregational singing of "America." The program was long but no means tiresome, and every number was enjoyed. The Oratorio society will appear at the next concert in two Wagner choruses, which will be the only numbers lacking in this concert to make a complete and varied program. K U is to be congratulated on the number of good organists in her faculty, on the new organ and particularly on the possibility of future organ study in the Music school.

MORE COLLEGE SPIRIT
If the Fraternities Were All Wiped Out of Existence.
Professor Blackmar in his sociology class Friday took opportunity to give very clear expression to his opinion of the manner in which fraternities are managed in K. U.
"In the first place," he said, "the custom of rushing as practiced by the fraternities here is entirely unnatural. Instead of allowing the candidate for admission to select the fraternity which he wishes to join and then make application for admission, which of course the members of the fraternity are at liberty to refuse, the frats all join in a mad rush for 'materal' as soon as school opens each fall. People are taken in whom the members of the fraternity do not really want but whom they take to keep rival frats from getting. This has been done numberless times in the past by K, U. fraternities and in all probability will continue to be done in the future. It is this which has created inharmonious and clashing elements in every frat here. Largely on this account, too, fraternities here fail to carry out the true fraternal spirit and do not rise much higher than mere social clubs."
"In saying this, I do not wish to be understood to condemn fraternities in general. For I think they usually have an important place to fill in college society. It is a natural tendency for society to divide into various groups, each with its common bond of interest, and if there were no fraternities these cliques might be formed in a way that would be less beneficial, even than at present. But as fraternities are managed here I do not hesitate to say that there would be less snobbery, less injustice, and more true college spirit if they were all wiped out of existence!
"Another thing I would like to say," continued the professor, "is, that it was the best thing that ever happened for Kansas University when the 'Barb' or independent element, organized as they are at present for political and social purposes, and proved that after all, they held the ruling power in the University."
A 'Senior Play.
There was an enthusiastic meeting of the Senior class yesterday, the object being to discuss a senior play.
There were a number of speeches made, nearly all in favor of a play, and a motion for the president to appoint a committee of five to formulate plans for a play carried by a large vote. President McKinnie has not yet announced the committee.

A GOOD CONTEST.

AND THERE WILL BE NO ADMISSION!

There Are Six Contestants with Good Speeches for the Oratorical Contest on Next Friday Evening —Great Interest Shown.
There are ebbs and floods in the river of life which flows through a university just as sure as there are tides in the affairs of men. The testimony of life at K. U. this year is that we are in the flood. Our football team and glee club did signal work. Our new pipe organ is in keeping with an aesthetic and patriotic awakening. Unusual interest is manifested in literary societies and interstate debates. The coming oratorical contest promises to be one of the strongest in the history of the association.
The contest will take place on next Friday evening. There will be six contestants, the full number allowed by the constitution. The judges on thought and composition are Prof. Frank Nelson, Lindsburg; William A. White, Emporia, and Bailey Wagoner, Atchison. The following of Lawrence are judges on delivery. J. L. Brady, Superintendent J. E. Pears and Rev. McQuiston. The committee and creators are to be congratulated on their wise selection.
All the orators are known to be strong men and a very close contest is expected. The program for the evening will be interpersed with some select instrumental and vocal music. It has been customary to charge admission to the contest but this is a custom-breaking year and for the first time in the history of the Kansas University Oratorical association the contest will be free for all. The evening of January 21 is the time for every K. U. student to give outward signs of his loyalty. Wear the crimson and yell. Nothing can so inspire a contestant, nothing can so fill him with zeal as can a loyal, enthusiastic student body.
The successful orator at this preliminary contest will represent K. U. at the state contest which is to be held at Lawrence on February 22. Eight colleges will have representatives at Bowersock's Opera house that night. K. U. will be there. But her fate, whatever it is, will be sealed at that time. Now is the time to encourage our orator, now is the time to awaken interest in oratorical affairs and insure our success in February.
The orators are Geo. O. Foster, Geo.W. Stephenson, Franklin Baker, T.D. Smith, P. S. Elliot and Mr. Herndon.
THE SENIOR ANNUAL
Asked in Regard to the Senior Annual Miss Ethel Hickev Gave Out the Following Statement:
"In the first place, the Senior Annual is to be what its name implies—a Senior annual, and not a general treatise—or whatever you may wish to call it, such as the Quivira of '93—of the University.
"In the second place it will contain, besides the conventional matter which all the members of the class expect, a great deal of original material by different members of the class.
"One of the original features will be a great many full page pen and ink drawings illustrative of class incidents, Univerairy scenes, etc., many of which will be hits against popular University people.
"Robert Wilson Neal will have charge of the literary department."

A surgical operation, by which the entire stomach of a woman, aged 56, was removed successfully more than three months ago without any material injury to the health or activity of the patient is fully described in the Medical Record of New York.
LIVES WITHOUT A STOMACH.
German Woman Undergoes a Curious Operation Successfully.
The case is described by Dr. Carl Schlatter, of the University of Zurich, who performed the operation. Anna Landis, a silk weaver of Zurich, was compelled to go to the hospital last August, having a huge tumor in the stomach. The doctors concluded that the only hope of saving her life lay in removing the entire stomach. Accordingly the surgeon clipped off the osephagus close to where it entered the stomach, and then cut out the intestine two or three inches below the stomach. The walls of the stomach were also freed from such connections as existed with surrounding parts of the body, and then the entire organ was removed.
Having the stomach out of the way, it became necessary to unite the intestine with the end of the oesophagus. On attempting to unite the two ends it was found that they could with difficulty be made to touch. In fact the strain of bringing them to a juncture was so great that to unite them permanently was manifestly out of the question. In this predicament Surgeon Schlatter found that what he calls the knuckle of the intestine below the severed end could easily be brought to join the end of the oesophagus. Accordingly he closed up the end of the intestine absolutely, as one might close the end of a seared artery. Then he took the bend of the intestine in his hand, cut a slit in it that would just fit the severed end of the oesophagus, and sewed the end and slit together. This done there was then a direct channel from the patient's throat down through the intestines, while in place of a stomach was the end of the intestine—a length of about 15 inches that lay on one side. The entire operation required two and a half hours. The patient left the hospital October 11 with restored health and a good appetite.

THE FEE QUESTION.
THE SUBJECT BEING AGITATED BY THE PHARMACY STUDENTS.
A Pettition Signed by the Students and Sent to Attorney General Boyle Alleges that the Fees Are Unlawful and Exorbitant.
Dr. L. E. Sayre was treated to a surprise party when he reached his senior pharmic class Wednesday morning. He was given a copy of a petition which was sent Tuesday to Attorney General Boyle praying for an opinion on two questions: Can the pharmacy school legally collect fees from the students, and, if it can do so, can it lawfully charge more than wholesale price for the material furnished?
Every member of the senior class has signed the petition.
In support of the first question the students avert that no fees are charged at the Agricultural College; everything, even the material and apparatus being furnished free of charge.
The class rests its case principally, however, on the second part of the petition. By a comparison with the prices charged the students for acids and material with prices quoted in the druggists circular list there seems to be a profit of from 200 to 800 per cent.
When asked in regard to the charges of the Pharmacy students against the fees, Dr. Sayre said:
Alcohol, the *students aver*, is purchased by the school for 40 cents per gallon and sold to them for $1.28 per gallon They declare also that a similar profit is made on chloroform, ether, and acids.
ormerly we made a statement and tried to equalize charges as much as possible. We now proceed on a different plan. We issue coupon cards of the value of $500 each to each student. This card is divided into 500 penny divisions and when the student gets any material to use in the laboratory the cost is indicated on the card. This is done in order to give each student a chance to economize as much as possible. The fees are made large enough to cover the total expense of the Pharmacy school and no more. We do not try to make a profit. Last year, however, we were behind between $200 and $300 for freight and we had to ask the regents to appropriate other money to make this up. The students are not compelled to buy from the department, but it is cheaper for them to buy of us, because frequently, in fact nearly always, they want small amounts of material which would not be sold at the same price in other places as gallon quantities. Certain chemicals are not charged for and some expensive material is furnished free. One of these expensive pieces was broken last year and the piece which replaced it this year has been broken. Gas for use of the department and shipment of goods must be paid for by the school.
"If all the material could be sold before deteriorating it could be sold at cost. There is a loss of about 25 per cent of chloroform, ether and similar drugs. Alcohol costs us about 60 cents per gallon and if we sell it at $1.28 per gallon it is a saving to them as they could not get it at any other place for less than $3.00 or $4.00.
"I have always tried to deal consciently with the students.
"The state will soon be compelled to recognize one of two things: Either the students must pay fees or the legislature make larger appropriations. If this is not done the department must deteriorate. I want the students to have as many accommodations as possible, but the Pharmacy school requires more money to run it than another departments of the University."
The question is agitating those interested, and the decision of the attorney general is awaited with interest.

General John B. Gordon Will Lecture
Here Monday Night
A RARE TREAT
Considerable interest is being manifest in the lecture of General Gordon to be given at the University Monday night under the auspices of the lecture bureau.
General Gordon is one of the few survivors among the great confederate leaders during the war. It is not only as a soldier that General Gordon is known to the American public but his fame as an orator and lecturer is wide spread. Of his lecture on the "Last Days of the Confederacy," given in Philadelphia, and which will be repeated here Monday night, the Philadelphia Ledger says:
"General John B. Gordon's lecture on the 'Last Days of the Confederacy' which he delivered at the Academy of Music last evening to an audience largely composed of members of the Grand Army of the Republic, was a masterpiece of mingled humor, pathos, and patriotic eloquence. It presented a vivid picture of at least one side in both armies, and its characterization of the general who fought the great fight was discriminating and just. General Gordon was a prominent actor in many of the closing scenes of the war, and with becoming modesty described in detail, incidents of which history relates the bare outlines. His lecture was a great treat to his audience, whose delight was manifested by spontaneous outbursts of applause, expressing alike the patriotic feeling he aroused and the admiration of the soul stirring orator."
The Sylvester Memorial.
Prof. H. B. Newson, a member of the International Committee for the Sylvester Memorial, is in receipt of a circular setting forth the objects of the committee.
In determining the form which the Memorial should take, the promoters have been influenced by various considerations. The foundation of a mathematical studentship required the raising of an amount of capital which they did not see their way to obtain. It has been decided, therefore, that the foundation of a Sylvester Medal and prize would bring the scheme well within the region of practicability, and would at the same time enable the body entrusted with the fund to offer encouragement and reward to working mathematicians throughout the world for results acclimated in a branch of science that brings no direct material advantage to its cultivators. The medal will be awarded triennially by the Royal Society of London, which has accepted the trust.
Among the members of the committee are the Duke of Devonshire, Lord Armstrong, Lord Kelvin, Lord Rothschild, and numerous leading mathematicians of the new and the old worlds.
Who's This?
He has been here some time, and he be- bieves him to be a hot number. Because he is registered he thinks he is the whole university. He poses before a devot ed looking glass and feels really sad that all the girls should be sighing out their lives for his own sweet sake. He so manipulates his hair that he is crowned with a head of classical mould. It is interesting to see him enter the library. He is sure to act in a proper way. He gracefully lifted the adorn as he puts his left foot over the threshold. By a skillful movement his hair is fixed. As he walks up the aisle everybody notices the classic head and the heroic bearing of body. A few sights a gentle shuffle of the feet show the spirit of discontent, awakened in every breast. AN OBSERVER.
The rehearsing for the pipe organ concert has been done at considerable expense to the University, as it has been necessary to run the engine at night, but a storage battery for which the regents have made an appropriation will make this unnecessary in the future. It is probable that the battery will be in place in time for the second concert.

JACKSON COUNTY BOY RECEIVES
FOUR STRAIGHT FIR-TS.
One of the Hardest Fought Contests in History of the Institution Takes Place in University Hall Last Night.
Before the hour of the contest had arrived University hall was filled with an enthusiastic audience. The Laws and members of Snow Literary society came early in order that they might mass in sections and successfully render their yells. Voices gave vent to enthusiasm in every way conceivable and nervous people were glad when President Sweett called order.
After divine blessings were invoked by Rev. Summerville, the program opened with a piano solo by Miss Daisy Orton. The first orator of the evening was Geo O. Foster. His subject was "Since the shackles were removed." The negro problem was presented in a very entertaining way. "The question," said Mr. Foster, "is not what shall we do with the negro, but what shall we do for the negro." The audience felt sure of his receiving a high rank. G. W. Stephenson followed with a masterly production on "Internationalism." Thos, H Gilbert then entertained with a vocal solo, "The Omniscient Ostrich." This was so well rendered that Mr. Gilbert was forced to respond to an encore. The next oration was by Mr. Franklin Baker. His subject was, "The Few or the Many," Mr. Baker has a good voice. His delivery was dramatic and his oration somewhat radical.
Mr. T. Davenport Smith presented the Subject, "Ecclesiastical and Political Despotism." The orator was perfectly at ease before his audience and he gracefully and forcibly impressed every thought of his oration. His hearers became enthusiastic and anticipated the decision of the judges by giving him first rank in delivery.
Miss Cecil Stanford favored the audience with a vocal solo after which Mr. Philip S. Elliott presented his oration, "Liberty and Law." He impressed everyone with his earnestness. His delivery was good, and his thought and composition excellent. Mr. Elliott received rank one and K. U. has reasons to be proud of her orator.
While waiting on the decision of the judges, Miss Jean Bowersock gave a violin solo and responded to a most vigorous encore. Pearl Decker, who won the interstate contest last year, was called upon. He gave a recitation and fairly captivated his hearers.
The decision of the judges was read and yells again filled the building. The members of Snow Literary society gathered in their hall to celebrate. Thus passed the most successful oratorical contest K. U. has had for years. Let us keep up enthusiasm, accompany our orator to the state contest, February 25, and see K. U. represent the state.
The following is the,markings of the judges:

Mr. S. R. Boyce, formerly an assistant in the school of Pharmacy, has just written an interesting letter to Prof. Savre in which he shows his appreciation of the Weekly which he reads with regularity. Prof. Boyce will graduate as M. D. next year from the University of Michigan. He states that Mr. Frank Prentiss, a graduate of the school of pharmacy, who has been suffering for some time with paralysis, is now at the hospital at Ann Arbor in the appartment assigned to nervous diseases. He is reported as improving very gradually. Mr. Boyce congratulated the K. U. in its recent acquisition of a pipe organ. At Ann Arbor a student is fully aware of the splendid adjunct this is to a University community.

A LITERARY MAGAZINE
Meeting Called of These Interested to Discuss the Propct.
There will be a meeting Monday noon in Room 14 for the purpose of discussing plan for the continuance of the K. U, Idler or the launching of some other literary magazine for the University. Everybody interested is invited to attend.
It is considered by the managers of the WEEKLY a financial impossibility to longer run the Idler in connection with the WEEKLY. It has been suggested therefore, that a stock company be formed for the publication of the Idler. Such an enterprise might meet with success, and if sufficient interest is shown publication of the Idler will be resumed.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JAN. 22, 1868
If you believe in a University Literary magazine, attend the meeting Monday in Room 14.
Western Homes has suspended publication and thus passes another Kansas magazine. The lesson of it is that Kansas readers prefer to spend their money for literature, and not for the fostering of second rate local talent. The day of the community magazine has passed.
It is difficult for a Kansas man to understand the athletic situation in the state university of Iowa. The anomaly of no candidates for football manager—or of no candidates for anything and everything for that matter—does not come within our experience. And this is as it should be. The condition is healthful, giving boundless opportunity for the survival and selection of the fit.
The WEEKLY is in possession of enough facts to prove that an attempt was made on the part of a few, a very few, frat-struck girls to form a chapter of Alpha Phil, that the girls of the Entre Nous whist club were considered good working material, that few of the girls of Entre Nous had a hint o' the sense, that those who were approached refused to have anything to do with the new frat, that no member or members of the Entre Nous whist club were concerned directly or indirectly in the project. And so ciled the Alpha chapter of Alpha Phil. Peace to its ashes!
Mr. Bowersock is inclined to exaggerate the importance of fraternity people to the University. Whether or not it has been their "pace" that has killed them, they are fast dying off. And with their decline in numbers their manners have strangely changed. It is not unusual now for a fart man to speak to a barb on the street with almost human civility. The degeneration in blue blood has affected even the girls. The sorceries fell from a haughty height when they publicly acknowledged that a fart pin attached to the vest of a young man is not the ultimate badge of morality and virtue.
In another column of the WEEKLY will be found a communication from J. D. Bowersock in reference to the drinking question generally and the editor of the WEEKLY especially. The sophomoric utterances of the WEEKLY seem to have offended Mr. Bowersock. The WEEKLY criticised the method of stopping the drink habit and not the idea that something should be done against it. The editor of the WEEKLY has been in the University for so ne time, but has never heard of any complaint from the Barb girls about drinking at Barb parties, and there is some society outside of the fraternities, notwithstanding that Mr. Bowersock is of the contrary opinion. It would be lamentable indeed if the "reputation and character of the school" were "indissolubly bound up" with the sham aristocracy of the fraternities. But since Mr. Bowersock wants to make this a fraternity and not a University affair, it is out of our scope. We criticised the action taken only for fear it might reflect on the whole university.
Higher Education(?)
President James A. Hart, of the Chicago baseball club, is beginning to favor the idea of a baseball university to teach young aspirants for baseball fame the national game. He has doubts as to whether the scheme will ever be carried out, but will help it all he can when he is sure responsible men are behind it. He says the Spalding Land Association will furnish the university with all the ground it can use just outside the city limits.
"We find it very hard to get good players," said he, "and I think a baseball school will be just the thing for the National league. A great many young men who graduate from the large colleges are anxious for base ball fame. They do not care however, to begin in a minor league and work their way up, but want to jump right into the big league. If we had this college we could be sure when we signed a man that he had qualifications for the place.
"I think Anson, if he was dean of the university, could tell inside of a month whether a man was it to play in the big league. If a man could not qualify for the National League he might do for one of the minor leagues. I am in favor of the plan, although I do not know anything about it aside from what I saw in the papers. Many like schemes have been tried before and failed."—Inter Ocean.
Prentice Not Guilty.
The Biddy Book is a series of illustrated sketches after the Palmer Cox style, and relates how the Biddies went in search of their recruit spouses, the Brownies; and the author of the book is Sydney Prentice, of Lawrence. Prentice is a graduate of the state university and has done a good deal of work on the college patterns — Toneka Mail and Breeze.
Sydney Prentice is not the author of the Biddy Book. That crime in verse must be laid elsewhere. Prentice is the illustrator, and the Biddy Book would be far more clever and popular if the illustrations were all it contained.
The meeting called for Monday to discuss plans for the continuance of the Idler should be largely attended. You may not like the policy of the Idler, pursued in its first two issues. If not, come to the meeting with other plans formulated. There are varied possibilities for a University magazine. Perhaps it should be a sober review, perhaps it should contain stories merely, perhaps it should attempt a lighter vein. There are many who would like to see a magazine modeled after the popular Life. Others would like a magazine of original literary research, wherein might be published translation done by the Anglo Saxon class or the classes in German, French, Spanish, Latin and Greek, and which might contain critical notes on literature new and old. Still others pooh-pooh at idea of a college magazine at all, averring that there is no place for such a publication, that such a publication cannot have an original merit of its own. And this is quite a question. Critially the average college magazine taxes to the deep foundations the most liberal scholastic faith. But all these questions will come up for discussion at the meeting Monday, and if you attend you can add the mite of your testimony to their settlement. At any rate you may learn something by attending the meeting.
Kansas City Journal: Some Kansas newspapers, as well as some Kansas City newspapers, are making a display of ears in their comments on a recent attempt to check the serving of intoxicants at student parties in the University of Kansas. We know of no decent and same people who wish their children to contract drinking habits, and the parents of Kansas will certainly be thankful for any influences brought to bear to discountence such habits. One might conclude from some of the comments referred to that most of the young men of Kansas are drinkers; whereas, in fact, the mass of the rank and file in all classes are total abstainers to a degree never known in former generations. Young men who tipple are looked upon by employers in nearly all lines with suspicion, and they generally warrant this suspicion. Civilized people have professed to be proud of being guided by the refined instincts of women. Good for the girls of Kansas university.
Is a literary magazine a possibility in Kansas University? Attend the meeting Monday and try to settle the mooted question.

CORRESPONDENCE.
A Friend of th+ Frate To the Editor of the WEEKLY
I have read with much regret and a little surprise, the frivolous (funny?) (7) God save the mark) press notices referring to the meeting of ladies who desired to banish liquor from social events given by young people associated with the University. To be specific, the meeting had to do with fraternities only. To read the editorial entitled "Mistaken Solicitude" in the University WEEKLY of January 15th, gives one e not only feelings of regret, but something akin to contempt of one who calmly states that the "solicitude" of good women which leads them to try to prevent young men becoming drunkards is "mistaken," and that American humor has taught us to laugh at "martyrs." American humo has much to answer for, but it has not yet sunk as low as the seeming ignorance or malice contained in the sentences referred to would indicate. I know something of Sophomoric assurance and buncombe and make due allowance for it, but this is no excuse for positive mis-statements in an "official" literary paper representing to some extent, a great school. The meeting was not a secret one, nor was it for the public or the "press". It was directly brought about by an article in the UNIVERSITY WEEKLY (some weeks ago) calling attention to this same matter. There was implied if not direct obligation on the part of each one present that it should not be made a public or a newspaper matter. No courage was required by any "three" to vote against resolutions offered by the meeting for no "three" so voted. A standing vote was at one time taken and "three" ladies did not rise either for or against. If the "three" intended to stand up for their "convictions" then their courage was lacking.
Now what are some of the facts as understood? A great school belonging to a great state, the large majority of whose citizens are ardent temperance people, is located at Lawrence. The institution invites and the state approves the gathering in of the flower of the young men and women of Kansas. Greek letter societies, college fraternities, can only be organized, as it were, in the shadow of the college. The active members must be students, hence the "Frat" is of the college, a part of it, though it may be in no sense officially recognized. Annually the town and the school is stirred up by the force and intensity of "rushing"—the effort to secure the best and most desirable men for the "Frats." The reputation and character of the school and in a measure that of the people of the town, is indissolubly bound up to a large extent, with the fraternities. To a marked degree, the "frats" dominate in the society affairs of both town and school. In the language of the boys 'they set the pace,' and the true mothers of the state many of whom will go without comfortable wraps this winter in order that the boys may have the advantages of a University, have a "solicitude" that their sons learn not the pace that kills.
For years, to some extent, at some of the "hops" given under the auspices of and by the boys' fraternities, there has been drinking of liquor. The fact has been known and commented upon, and in certain quarters objected to for years. Quiet measures, remonstrance and entreaty have been time and again resorted to. The writer gave his boys notice that if he had knowledge that their "Frat" permitted any thing of the kind, he would publicly withdraw them; and he also warned and entreated members of other fraternities to have some regard for their "Alma Mater", if they had none for their mother at home.
There are always a lot of loafers about a fire who can tell the regular firemen how to best fight the flame, and after the burning accuse them of "mistaken solicitude" point to the bravery of the "three" who threw a looking-glass out of a fourth story window and then carried a sofa pillow safely down stairs. Finally, having tried the "grass and turf," the ladies decided to ascertain if there was any virtue in more solid missiles, and they assembled peaceably for what? To send flannel "westskets" to the Africans under the equator, to purge the slums of London, to reform the world? Oh no, that would not have been "mistaken solicitude." They assembled quietly, un-ostentatiously to place a ban on one social error right here in Lawrence. They made no reference to what private parties should do or should not do. No private or personal right was sought to be restricted. But they said and plainly, that no association that derived its life through the University should voluntarily and publicly place before its young men and women guests and members, strong drink. If there is a "Frait" that has never done anything of the kind, all honor and praise be unto it.
Let me state my firm conviction. The protest of the ladies, this "mistaken solicitude," will gain its end. Which "Frat"

A DRAMATIC CLUB
It Will Study and Practic Plays of High Rank.
Now that the pipe organ is secured, Prof. Penny's uninerting energy is directed in another channel, and the University as usual is to be benefitted.
Wednesday evening he called a few young people together at the Club House and revealed his plan for a dramatic association. His idea is to get up a club, limited to twenty members, who will organize immediately, for the purpose of studying and practicing plays of high rank. After the club is gotten into running order, entertainments will be given for an invited public. Miss Brown has consented to train and assist the dramatic club, and, with Prof. Penny, Miss Brown, the Club House, and a warranted amount of enthusiasm, there is no reason why the enterprise should not prove all that is worthy of the name.
A name for the organization has not yet been agreed upon, but "The Mask" has very appropriately been suggested. Define it arrangements will be made at a future meeting, when the organization will be perfected and the future plans laid.
AMUSEMENTS.
The world renowned contralto Sopna Scalchi and her great company of operatic artists will appear here on Wednesday next, 20th inst., at the Bowersock Opera house. The name of Scalchi is known the world over and it is conceded on all sides that she is without a rival in the operatic field to-day. Scalchi will appear in a regular concert programme and will give a complete performance of the fourth act (tower and prison scenes) of Verdi's grand opera, II "Trovatore," in costumes, with scenery, paraphernalia, etc. It will be an event to hear Scalchi in the role of the old Gypsy Azucena, for this is one of her most famous characters. Associated with Scalchi is Mlle. Toulinguet said to be one of the greatest dramatic sopranos in the world. Mlle. Toulinguet was the principal soprano of the Imperial Opera Co. and made a tremendous hit in Europe and in New York last season. The other members of the company are Mlle Marie Du Bedat, mezzo soprano, late of the Royal Carl RosaCo : Mr. Tom McQueen, tenor; Sig. Alberti, baritone and Sig. Gallia, pianist and accompanist.
To Protect the Song·Bird.
A branch of the Audubon society was established among the students of the university last week. This society was organized a few years ago in New York State for the prevention of the wholesale and wanton slaughter of our song-birds for decoration purposes. It has now spread into most of the important states of the Union. In the eastern states it numbers among its members and officers the most prominent people in all walks of life and has been such a potent influence as to obtain the passage of a statute in Massachusetts against the wearing of bird feathers. In the west it has also accomplished much. Its aims are being taken up by many of the prominent society women with such good effect that, according to the Times-Herald, the sale of a song-bird feathers has practically ceased in Chicago among the fashionable milliners, and such establishments as Marshall Field's have declared themselves entirely opposed to the traffic. The society has strong and vigorous branches in many of our colleges and there is no reason why our own students should be behind in this good cause—Daily Cardinal, U. of W.

CORRESPONDENCE.
or which of the "Frats" will take the stigma, the initiative, of continuing this practice? What "Frat" man worthy the name will be first to advise his brothers to violate this unwritten law?
Continued from page 2.
Which of the "Frats" desires to be advertised to the state as having had the courage of the "three" and "standing up for their convictions," turn on the wine at their gatherings? I agree with the WEEKLY that the "after clap" of a great moral movement is pretty apt to indicate what kind of a movement it is. "and I predict that the 'after clap' of this movement will be heard all over Kansas if the request of the ladies are not complied with, and in this case, the stroke of the 'after clap' will crush any and every fraternity that openly permits liquor at any of its so called public functions.

A Furious Battle Wag-d on the University Campus.
GREEK MEETS GREEK.
One of the greatest struggles for class supremacy ever witnessed on Mount Oread occurred Tuesday afternoon. There has always existed a sort of rivalry between the Engineering and Pharmacy schools and on Tuesday affairs reached a climax when the latter challenged the former to a snow ball combat
The troops collected and took their places with lightning rapidity. The struggle was fast and fierce from start to finish. The air was thick with flying snow balls and the bellows of the wounded reminded one of the commanding of Fort Sumpter.
At first the pharmics, on account of superior numbers gradually forced the knights of the T square backwards and had it not been for the timely arrival of reinforcements they would have been completely routed.
With the opposing sides about equal the fight became fiercer than ever. Back and forth they struggled as if swayed by a mighty wind. There was always a confused mixture of arms and flying hats to be seen. Occasionally some student would appear upon the outskirts of the fray, wandering about in a dazed condition, but he went back immediately.
It is doubtful how long the struggle would have continued thus, but a detachment of engineers who had been collected at the shop, attacked the pharmacies from the rear and soon put them to route
When the engineers were exulting over their victory, and thought the world was theirs, in came Superintendent White with a bill of $1.05 for broken window glass.
FINE ARTS NOTES.
Prof. Clark has secured Fraulein Antonie Stolle of Boston for a stereoptical art lecture at Music hall, Jan. 27th. The lecture will be one of the best of its kind to be heard in this country as Fraulein Stolle has been several years abroad preparing her set of reproductions of the most famous pictures in foreign art galleries. The original colors are faithfully copied and her collection is considered one of the most perfect ever made. This attraction will be on the Fine Arts course.
Prof. Clark is very much encouraged in the excellent work of the seniors.
Mr. Clendenning has been heard from at Sabine Pass, Texas. The art class is looking forward to sketches of the country which will doubtless interest Mr. Clendenning.
Hans Loeffler, formerly of Munich, Bavaria, has joined the painting glass.
What about that Euterpe entertainment?
One of the great advantages of studying in the studio at Music Hall, is the entertainment furnished by Prof. Preyer's pupils in the room below. It is never difficult to distinguish Prof. Preyer's touch, but question often arises as to whether the pupil is a Senior or a Freshman. The members of the art class are becoming expert music critics.
The combined choruses have begun to practice in University Chapel. The second organ concert promises to be more generally pleasing than the first one. The program is made up entirely of popular classics, which, perhaps, will not interest music students as much but will be liked better by the general public. The large chorus will be especially attractive in the Wagner numbers, which have been chosen with a view to their popularity and are the most beautiful selections of Wagnerian music; such as the song of the Evening Star, Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin, Pilgrim's Chorus and Grand March from Tannhäuser. Prof. Farrell's solos will also be a great attraction as he will be here in time for the concert.

PRIZES FOR LITERATURE.
The Century Magazine's Offer to Graduate Students.
The WEEKLY is in receipt of the following circular letter, which will be of interest, perhaps of value, to students of English composition:
To the Editor.
DEAR SIR: We call your attention to the enclosed circular, which we venture to think will prove of interest to you and to your readers. Brief announcement of the offer has been made in the columns of the daily press, but from the inquiries we have received we learn that there is a general desire among college men to know the full particulars of the contest. For this reason, we append the following note. If you can make any use of it in your columns, we shall be obliged.
Very truly yours.
THE CENTURY CO.
THE CENTURY PRIZES FOR COLLEGE GRAD-
LATES
With the aim of encouraging literary activity among college graduates. The Century Magazine offers to give, annually, during four successive years, three prizes of $250 each, open to the competition of persons who receive the degree of Bachelor of Arts in any college or university in the United States during the commencement seasons of 1897, 1898, 1899 and 1900.
1st. $250 for the best metrical writing of not fewer than fifty lines.
2d. $250 for the best essay in the field of biography, history, or literary criticism, of not fewer than four thousand or more than eight thousand words.
3d. $250 for the best story of not fewer than four thousand or more than eight thousand words.
On or before June 1, of the year succeeding graduation, competitors must submit type-written manuscript to the Editor of the Century Magazine, marked, outside and inside. "For the College Competition," signed by a pen-name, and accompanied by the name and address of the author in a separate sealed envelope which will not be opened until the decision has been made. The manuscript submitted must be the production of literary work come after graduation, and must not have been published. A circular giving full details concerning the competition will be sent to any address by the Century Co., Union Square, New York.
Since the first announcement of the prizes in the public press on July 24, 1897, letters have been received asking that the privileges of the competition be extended to persons receiving the degree of Ph. B., on the ground that in certain cases it is equivalent to the degree of B. A. A similar request has also been made in behalf of graduates of the United States naval and military colleges. But, on careful consideration, it has been decided not to make any change in the present series of prizes, which will be awarded, as originally stated, to graduates receiving the degree of B. A.
The terms of this prize competition were formulated after consulting with some of the leading educators of the United States. In some respects the proposition differs from the usual prize offer. It is meant to cover a wide range of belles-lettres, and to stimulate interest in purely literary production on the part of college graduates. It may be said that "short story" writing needs no extraordinary stimulus in this country. The "output" is already large, and much of it is of excellent quality. Perhaps in this case the demand has had the usual effect upon the supply. There has always existed, we believe, a tendency to decry "magazine poetry," even when a large part of it was written by those who were regarded as our "great poets." But then and now much of the poetry of the American magazines has probably been of finer quality than indiscriminate criticism would concede. The department of literature perhaps most in need of stimulus is that of the essay. There would seem to be fewer well-equipped and accomplished critics and essayists than our literature needs.
The Century's offer naturally brings up consideration of the often-noticed fact that so few of our literary men, since the earlier days, have been college graduates. The editor some years ago made up a list of about forty of the then-living prominent American authors. A very small portion of these were found to be college graduates. The proportion of that class of writers appears to be gradually increasing; but if a list were made of a

dozen or fifteen of the men and women now at the head of American literature, the public would be surprised to find that there were more A. M's. L. H. D's. and LL. D's. more than B. A' s. among them.
The direct efficacy of academies in the creation of artists in general will always be a matter of di pute, as well as the question of the benefit of the academy to the individual genius.
Debatable also is the question of the value of prizes in stimulating literary activity of a high order. One of our advisers remarked that such prizes have not worked well among undergraduates in a certain university, as the young men have preferred to put their work on the regular subjects of instruction. But such a result of prize methods among undergraduates does not imply a similar result among graduates, as the conditions are, of course, entirely different. Others of our educational advisers are very hopeful concerning the experiment. At any rate, the experiment appears to be well worth trying, and we trust that substantial good will come of it.

THERE IS A HITCH IN THE DBATE
ARRANGEMENTS.
Who Small Pay the Expenses of Contee Missouri or Kansas?—Each Committee Insists on Its Own interpretation of the Rules.
The joint committee met Tuesday noon. Several matters of importance were considered. At the conference between representatives from Missouri and Kansas at Kansas City Thanksgiving day, the rules of the Kansas-Nebraska debate as far as applicable were accepted as controlling the Kansas-Missouri debate. This action was taken subject of course to ratification by the debate committee of each university.
Among these rules was included the provision that the university where the debate is held shall bear all necessary expenses of the debate. This provision has never been construed by Kansas and Nebraska to include the traveling expenses of the visiting team, but has been interpreted as meaning only the local expenses of the debate and the traveling expenses of the judges. When the acceptance of the Nebraska rules was reported to the committee for ratification, it was suggested that as the wording of the rule was somewhat ambiguous it might be well in sending notice of ratification to Missouri to state that we should hold to the interpretation given by Kansas and Nebraska. The result was a letter from Missouri, insisting that the opposite construction had been placed upon it by mutual consent at the Kansas City conference. Our committee then voted to hold to our construction and to notify Missouri of our action, at the same time informing them that as we were compelled to the expenses of our debaters to Nebraska, it would work a hardship to us to way the expenses of the Missouri team here.
The above was the situation at the time of the committee meeting Tuesday. At that meeting the secretary read a letter from Missouri, regretting the mutual misunderstanding, but stating that as Missouri was to have a debate with Nebraska this year, and by their agreement with the Nebraskans were to pay the traveling expenses of the Nebraska team to Columbia it would be as much of a hardship for them to pay two sets of expenses as for us and suggesting as a way out of the difficulty that we ask Nebraska to alter their arrangements with us and pay the fare of our men to Lincoln. Each University would thus bear the full expenses of the debate held under its own auspices.
Prof. Hodder suggested that since our arrangement with Nebraska was of some years' standing, while the Missouri — Nebraska debate was being established for the first time, it might be easier for them to change their rules to conform to ours than to induce the Nebraskans who had already paid the expenses of two teams here while we had sent but one to Nebraska to accept the Missouri proposition. The secretary was then instructed to make this as a suggestion to Missouri.
A letter was also read from Nebraska accepting the more definite statement of the question selected for debate suggested by our committee. A motion was carried to allow the Snow, Adelphic, and Kent clubs each two representatives in the final preliminary for the preliminary for the Missouri debate and to limit the representation in that debate to those three societies. The meeting ten adjourned.

The University circles were much surprised at the announcement of the engagement of Miss Elizabeth Stone and Mr. Arthur T. Walker. Miss Stone is a popular University girl, active in all branches of college interest, and while Professor Walker has not been in Lawrence a great while he has a large circle of acquaintances who heartily congratulate him.
Since the first of the week there has been another engagement much talked of. This one is only rumored, although it is authentically watched for by several very intimate friends. The younglady lives in south Lawrence, and is rightly termed one of the University's "swellest girls." She is an art student, decidedly blond, and noted for her charming manners. The other pa.ty comes from Shawnee county, is well built, dark, and popular. Each is a member of a prominent fraternity.
Another match of comparatively recent date has interested those fond of Cupid's pranks. The two in this case are easily described. Both are tall and slender, both are rather light, and both frequently wander down the hill the same way.
Much talked about; are two graduates of June 97. The young lady lived on the east side of one of the prettiest residence streets. She is vivacious and fond of entertaining. The young man while here was active in church work and generally acknowledged as a good conversationalist. He is now busy in one of Kansas City's new enterprises.
Not lacking in interest is the engagement, announced some time ago, of Miss Martha Snowd and Mr.Wm Harvey Brown. This promises to one of the first weddings.
If observations are reliable, one might associate the name of a certain Phi Psi and a pretty west Lawrence society girl now attending finishing school in New York City.
Early in the fall a small class that met at 10 o'clock, watched with interest two tall English students. She particularly was noted for her excellent themes, and will graduate this year, probably a Phi Beta Kappa. He well—he in this case—well dressed, and lives in the neighborhood of the "Spooner" club.
At a subscription party last week, another interesting announcement was anticipated. This takes in a young woman still in her teens, she is indeed one of the University's youngest FI Phis. She is at present, however, enjoying vacation from her studies. The young man fortunately—unlike every other young man yet mentioned—is a brunette and a new son of K. U.
In December the engagement of Prof. H. Foster Jones and Miss Moore of the city schools was announced.

Base Ball Tournament.
Already steps have been taken toward the resurrection of the triangular league between Baker University, Washburn College and the University of Kansas. Base ball was never so popular in the different colleges of the state as during the rivalry which existed in the old Triangular League and since its abandonment, instead of a balance there has always been a deficit in the treasury at the end of the season.
Manager Snyder is trying to arrange a base ball tournament between the universities of Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska to be held in Kansas City on Decoration day. It is proposed to play one game in the morning and two in the afternoon, and in this way decide the western collegiate championship with but little expense to each team.

Vol. V. No. 18.
The Hero of Eight Expeditions to Northernmost Greenland.
One—Hundred—Ton Meteorite.
The Famous Explorer Will Tell the Trill
Story of His 1,300 Miles $$of(Travei
on an Icv Plateau in Search of
the Great Metorcite.
Lieutenant R. E. Peary will lecture Tuesday evening in University hall. Now that Nansen has cancelled his engagements, Peary remains the only Arctic lecturer of worldwide repute on the American platform. The opportunity to hear a lecturer of Peary's fame seldom comes to a Kansas University audience. His lecture has been listened to with enthusiasm by London audiences as well as by those of the leading cities of America.
The history of the Peary meteorites, the last and largest of which a pure solid ingot of nickel steel, weighing about one hundred tons, which was landed last week in York, is exceptionally interesting and unique.
Lieutenant Peary will tell the story of the Esquimaux and how they live on Greenland's icy shores, of his 1,300 miles of travel on foot on an ice plateau, 5,000 to 8,000 feet above the sea level, of the expedition buried for days under snows drifted by great wind storms, of the narrow escape of dogs and sledges while crossing yawning crevasses, and how when the heroes were about to perish from cold and hunger, the finding and killing of the musk ox saved their lives.
In 1818 the ships of Sir John Ross, caught in the ice near Cape York, were visited by some individuals of a previously entirely unknown tribe of Arctic aborigines, in whose possession were found rude knives with cutting edges of iron, which they said they had obtained from an "iron mountain" in the depths of Melville bay. Analysis of the iron showed it to contain nickel, indicating unquestionably meteoric origin and exciting the greatest interest.
Somewhere in the '40s the king of Denmark made an attempt to discover and secure this "iron mountain," and authorized an expedition for that purpose, but nothing came of the effort.
The officers of the North Star, one of the Franklin search ships, which passed the winter of 1849-50 in Wolstenholme Sound, north of Cape York, were unsuccessful in finding the iron, and the same may be said of the various expeditions, English and American, and the whalers which visited these regions during the fifty years or more following the Ross voyage.
Baron Nordenskjold's ship went to Cape York for the express purpose of discovering and if possible securing, these valuable objects, but returned unsuccessful. The British museum has been from the first deeply interested in the matter, and one of the special objects of the English Arctic expeditions of 1875-76 was to discover and secure these unique specimens. This expedition, like the others, failed to locate the mysterious island.
In May, 1894, Peary, who, during his sojourn in these regions, had learned all about these meteorites from the Fsqui-maux, and had been told that there were three of them, namely, the "woman," the "cog," and the "tent"—made a 200 mile sledge journey from his headquarters, accompanied by Lee and a native guide, and discovered and examined the great masses, the first white man to ever look upon them. Late in August of the same year he attempted to get them on board his ship, the Falcon, and send them home, but could not get the ship within thirty miles of them on account of the ice.
metocrites, excavated it from its frozen bed, and moved it to the shore, a distance of about a quarter of a mile, when the inrush of the Melville Bay ice pack compelled him to get out with all possible speed to save his ship from being crushed by the ice. This year, with the same ship, the meteorite has been brought to New York.
In 1896, in the Hope, a much larger ship than the Kite, he succeeded in getting near the third and largest of the
In 1855, in the Kite, he succeeded in getting near them, and with the assistance of Debeitch, the commander of the expedition, which had been sent north by Mrs. Peary to bring him back, got the two smaller meteorites, the "woman" and the "dog" on board and brought them back to New York, where they have been stored since.
Lieutenant Peary's lecture will be illustrate by 100 magnificent lantern views and bids fair to be the most fascinating story of daring attempt, thrilling adventure and superb accomplishment ever told from the platform.
The inauguration concerts of the new pipe organ are now a thing of the past. The concerts have been successful artistically and financially. The amount of money raised however was only half of what was hoped for—some $500 being the total amount, leaving a balance still due on the organ of about $1,500. There has been a very small attendance from the student body. That this is not due to a lack of interest in the noble instrument is evident, for the $1 admission charged was entirely beyond the pocket books of the majority of our students. The organ is now to make its appeal to the student body. Ten organ recitals are to be given on alternate Wednesday afternoons at 5 o'clock, lasting for one hour. These recitals will have the cooperation of the best vocal and piano soloists in town and University. The admission to each concert will be but 10 cents, including program. Tickets are transferable, and the coupons can be used one at each concert, or several at any one concert. There will furthermore be ten pianoforte and vocal recitals on the alternating Wednesday afternoonconcs, given by the school of Fine Arts. This will make a piano and vocal recital, or an organ recital every Wednesday afternoon from 5 to 6 o'clock throughout the second term—twenty concerts in all feri $1. That this will appeal to the students is certain, and all ought to combine and wipe out at least $500 of the organ indebtedness by attending these concerts. Certainly nothing more liberal has ever been offered the students of the University of Kansas.
Change in Constitution.
Twenty Concerts for $1.
The following petition has been placed on the athleticletin board and has been signed by Captain Mosse, W. T. Walker, A. S. Buzzi, R. G. McKinnie, F.E. Banks and others.
We, the undersigned members of the Athletic association of the University of Kansas do petition the president to call a special meeting to consider the following amendment:
Amendment to the by laws of the K. U.
Athletic association constitution;
29,1898.
It shall be the duty of the board of directors of the Athletic association to award a "K" to each member of the football and base ball teams, of the University of Kansas, who has taken part in a championship game and to each member of the track team who has won first place in any intercollegiate contest or who has broken a college record.
It shall be the duty of the coach and captains of said teams to hand in to the board of directors the names of the men entitled to the K's.
Each team to have a representative K to be adopted by the board, said K to remain the same from year to year.
The K's shall be awarded at the termination of each season, apart and distinct from any sweaters or other uniform, which the various teams may receive.
It shall be the privilege of the board of directors to award a K to any athlete who is or has been a member of the University.
The Kansas University Oratorical association met yesterday, and again voted not to withdraw from the state association. Mr. Hilliard Johnson was elected second delegate to the business meeting of the association. Mr. George O. Foster being first delegate from the rank he won in the contest.
No one shall be entitled to wear a K of any design or description unless it has been awarded to him by the board of directors.

Prof. L. L. Dyche will introduce Lt.
Peary when he comes to Lawrence on next
tuesday to lecture in University hall; the
two men were once companions on an
Arctic trip and are well acquainted.
LEAGUE FOR DEBATE
A PLAN OUTLET FOR ITS FORMATION BY B, M. C'AL.
The League Would Be Similar to the Inter-State Football Association—A Team of Debaters for Each University.
This year there is an unusual amount of interest manifested in debate. This fact is gratifying for it leads to the development of strong debaters. A reputation for strong debaters is perhaps more complimentary to a university than a good record in oration or foot bail.
At present, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska universities debate with one another, but no well defined rules have been adopted to provide for a uniform procedure. Since there is an increased interest in the debates between these institutions and since this interest should be fostered, the time has come for some sort of an organization.
A plan suggested by B. B. McCall is as follows: Let Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and Iowa form an association and rules be adopted to control debates much the same as the association and rules controlling inter-state football. Suppose the first year Kansas debates with Nebraska and Missouri with Iowa. These debates would be held in the fore part of February Let the two winning teams come together and contest for final championship of that year in the latter part of May. The next year the states pair off again by some method of rotation which could be easily arranged.
Such a plan could not be put in operation this year but arrangements could be made whereby it would be effective next year. In the spring representatives from each university could meet at some central point as St Joe. The organization could then be formed and rules established.
This plan will probably be acceptable to each University as three of them are now practically in a league and only a year or so ago Iowa suggested debating with Nebraska provided that state failed to establish a debate with Missouri.
Each state would provide its own method of selecting its debaters. The preliminaries would be held before holidays. It is the plan that each University will have but one team of three men for the year. Thus making it a greater incentive to the debaters.
The plan is unquestionably a good one. It will unite the four great western universities for a most worthy cause. As far as Kansas is concerned the plan will be pushed.
What Is It?
It struts about as if always on dress parade. The nocks and corners of the main building are adorned with it. In the balls about the check stand and on the stairway it congregates in large numbers, so that the greatest degree of bravery is required to penetrate it. It comes to class late, recites languidly, but always with an entreatening look as if the professors were in duty bound to respect its social and political standings. Its pretensions are the greatest and its work least. When a football victory celebration is held it's always there. While the enthusiast carries boxes and lumber for fourteen blocks to build a bonfire, it looks on with a disdainful smile, and when all true students have boasted and yelled themselves hoarse, a shrill piping 'Rickety' with other attachments is bearded; that's from it. Most freshmen abhor it, Sophomores shun it. Juniors scorn it and Seniors avoid it entirely. A thorough cleansing of the University of all that is evil would ostracise it. It leaves as memorials to itself numerous cigarette stubbs on the stairs, a filthy odor wherever it is, and an universal dislike whenever seen, and yet it belongs to the chosen few. AN OBSERVER.

THE IDLER AGAIN.
Arrangements Undertaken fo Continue Its Publication
Pursuant to the call published in the WEEKLY those interested in a literary magazine for Kansas university met in Room 14 at noon Monday. Professor Carruth presided.
The object of the meeting was stated by Professor Clark to be to devise some means either by a stock company or by private enterprise to continue publication of the "K. U. Idler." It seemed to be the sense of the meeting that the "Idler"'s hould not be allowed to die, and a committee was appointed by the chairman to solicit subscriptions from those who are willing to support a literary magazine. The committee consists of Messrs Rising, Jones, McKeever and Misses Metcalf and Fuller. The committee has secured something over sixty names. Those interested are asked to meet again in Room 14, at noon Monday.
"Revenge is sweet," and the young men who gave the "first large fraternity party" are secretly reveling in their triumphant retaliation. Not only they ruthlessly scratched off the names of many Kansas university girls with reformative ideas in their heads, but they have made arrangements to import young ladies from adjoining towns for their "company" at the approaching festivities. — Lawrence Journal.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JAN 29, 1898.
The Profs. that were wise enough to give oral quizzes are feeling pretty well satisfied with life just now.
It isn't every one that can get grade I's neither is it every one that can successfully keep from getting them.
The Southwestern Collegeien keeps up its record as a humorous pamphlet. It is about to get out a poet's number.
A man that goes to school for any other purpose than to study, is a fool. And this is just a little bit of examination week philosophy.
There is one thing can be said to the credit of our Dyche. He does not advertise himself as the greatest Arctic explorer in the world, though he knows perfectly well that he is.
One of the members of the faculty seems to be disturbed by the presence of the new pipe organ in the chapel. But the cause of this is generally understood to be that the pipe organ is run by electricity and not by this member of the faculty.
The Vidette-Reporter makes a great to-do and calls attention to the exemplary foot-ball rules of Iowa. As a matter of fact the Iowa rules exclude college professionals athlete only. There is not a clause in the rules that would prevent old Uclep Anson himself from registering in Iowa university and captaining the base-ball team.
The new pipe organ dedicated and in use lends grace to a discussion of compulsory chapel attendance. Perhaps the organ will settle the vexed question, being itself a summons to large attendance. But unless the pipe organ works out a salvation for our college spirit, the agitation of compulsory chapel is timely. A gathering of one thousand students every morning for devotional exercises would create a marvelous change in our respect and admiration for Kansas University.
Mr. M; P. Cannon of Ottawa, takes a sane view of college politics, and his article published in another column is well worthy of attention. While mixing up in politics forms a very small part of a young man's college duties, still it is quite endurable to find a man now and then who looks upon college politics as not altogether a sin, and who might even admit that the college politician is not from the nature of things, on the brink of moral and material ruin.
The fact that the oratorical contest was free probably had its effect with the students. It had no effect, however, upon the faculty. The two members who are present at every University event, be it a football game, a lecture, a concert a debate or what-not, were there, that was practically all. The fifty or sixty faculty members who were absent probably wished to show that it is not the price that influences. But their absence was a happy occurrence after all. Every seat in the chapel was taken, and if the faculty had been present, they would perforce have had to sit on the floor.
Occasionally, when one happens to read the exchange column of a college paper a "filler" will strike the eye to the effect that some university in Europe or Hindostan or somewhere, has no college paper. And occasionally when one happens to be in the mood, an idea strikes the mind that such a college is in a state of fortunate anathy.
Valedictory.
the college paper, the average college paper, is peculiar. Newspaper men, it is said, when applied to for a job, pass by the college editor, if the applicant be so unwise as to mention this qualification. The editors of our every-day, practical newspapers well know that the college editor is a man of superior mold, that he has been accustomed since the time the vokes of his fellows first discovered his genius to preach morals and philosophy to students, college press and the newspapers at large, that he nas told over and over, finally and conclusively in pompous phrase, how to reform and purify the press, the body politic, the government at Washington and the slums. And so these ordinary, practical newspaper men look upon these college upstart journalists and tremble and shun them. Perhaps they are right. Perhaps the average college paper is too peculiar in policy and content. Too perhaps the editor soars too high, as college genius is apt to do, and grasping questions beyond our understanding makes folk smile. Perhaps there is a place in college journalism for modesty and a little more humanity. Shakperes was content to reflect the life of his age. He did this sympathetically but with no attempt at moral philosophy. Perhaps his purpose was too humble, yet men read him still. There may be a lesson in this for the college editors, if the comparison be not too odious. A modest attempt to reflect the life of the school, if not too far below the standard of ambition of the editor, would make college journalism saner and healthier and more readable. It should not be the purpose of the editor to represent college life ideally, neither should he wear green spectacles when he books on roses. The truth never hurts. If a true reflection of the college life looks bad in print it is not the press that needs reforming, it is the life itself. And so would the college paper do its work, not by tiresome diatribs, but by a broad policy in news gathering and publishing.
It has been the endeavor of the retiring WEEKLY staff to follow these lines. Perhaps their efforts were mistaken. Not every one has been satisfied. But after all is said and done there is satisfaction in the knowledge that the WEEKLY has been read. And the WEEKLY thanks its readers.
The Consolation of Philosophy.
Examination week has passed and the "fittest" have survived. To those who haven't survived the WEEKLY extends a heart-felt sympathy. Not every one can be at the head of his class, but there is always a jolly, congenial crowd at the foot.
There are two examples that may be cited as a conlation for those who have not survived. When General Grant graduated from West Point he ranked so low that it took two figures to tell where he stood. After a time Grant became a general and then president and people who wanted post-offices and bills signed didn't care whether he had ranked first or twenty-first when he graduated.
Now the moral of this little piece is that the fittest in college are not always the fittest out of college. And it is better to get low grades and become president of the United States than to be a Phi Beta Kappa and steal $3,000,000.
The project for a debating league is thoroughly commendable. Something of the kind is now in vogue in the universities farther east and serves its purpose well. The team idea is excellent, and there is no reason to suppose that a superior team of debaters would not command as enthusiastic support as a superior base ball or football team.
The other example is that of Captain Carter of Savannah, Georgia, who graduated at West Point in 1903 with the best record ever made there. Had there been a chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa society at West Point he would have been the greatest catch it ever made. Captain Carter went back home and engaged his talents in putting in a deep harbor at Savannah. Some one, however, who probably never went to college in his life, has come forward and charges Captain Carter with stealing $3,000,000 and the dear captain who belonged to the "heavy artillery," figuratively speaking, in West Point is now going through the ordeal of a court martial.
Several members of the senior class already feel the royal blood of Phi Beta Kappa coursing and throbbing through their arteries.
The WEEKLY congratulates every one that got through.
CORRESPONDENCE.
College Spirit.
To the Editor of MARYTOWN.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE WEEKLY.
Dear Sir—I would like to say a few words through the medium of the best college paper in America, on a subject which cannot fail to strike the unprejudiced observer who has seen other universities and other countries; and that subject is the lack of college spirit and patriotism in the University of Kansas in particular, in western universities in general, in contrast to the patriotism which is shown in Europe and in the eastern colleges. It seems to me that the students of a western university are not bound together in any way, by those ties which should unite them and make a college truly great. After they leave their class rooms, they scatter to their various rooms and until they mount the hill again, they are strangers. There are very few occasions on which any uniformity of thought, any patriotism is shown. Perhaps the most stirring of these is a football game with a rival college; there at least the whole student body seems to be of the same mind, and a good amount of enthusiasm is displayed. A great many students of this university have seen their college papa, and over half do not know that in Snow hall the University has a natural history collection of which any college can be accounted for; perhaps the first of these is the fact that the students are scattered all over town among private families instead of having rooms in college as they do in England. Then another thing in which this University and the universities of England Clipper, is compulsory chapel attendance. Here about half a dozen students attend chapel, but there the whole student body is bound to attend, just as they must attend a lecture, and this bringing them all in contact once a day if only for a few minutes tends to unite them. I must not forget the college fraternity as a factor of dismemberment; the fosterer of patty jealousies, promoter of cliques and factions, the disturbing element of college society. Who is it that belongs to these fraternities; is it the good students, the best athletes, the most popular boys among their fellows? No! It it the so-called society men who care only for their fraternity and work for it instead of working for the University, the "Jeunesse doree" forsooth. I do not say that all fraternity men are thus, but the majority certainly are the exception only goes to prove the rule.
But there is something of course to be said for the fraternities. Perhaps the clanishness of the frat men and women is the effect rather than the cause of the absence of University spirit. Finding nothing better here to satisfy the social instinct, the man who demands something besides routine school work falls the willing victim to the invitation of a frat. Is there not a way to create a diversion for such people, and in creating this help the whole student body? It seems to me that class spirit is what we want here. Why can't we have cane rushes and hat rushes and inter-class debates? Why can't we create a class rivalry instead of a fraternity rivaly? The class base ball games of last spring were a beginning in the right direction. Let us have more of them this year and organized class enthusiasm to cheer the boys along. And then there is the indoor meet and the outdoor meet and the proposed jockey club tournament. There is great opportunity for class enthusiasm and when we get this, college spirit will take care of itself.
Fraulein Stolle's Lecture.
ARTHUR ST. L. MOSSE.
Lawrence has had a perfect flood of attractions in the present week and people have had a hard time to choose among the many offered, but Fraulein Stolle has an international reputation and lovers of art turned out in good numbers last evening at music hall. The fraulein is a very attractive woman and has a pretty accent.
The first pictures thrown on the screen were landscapes taken by the lady herself in Maine and the coloring was beautiful. Then introducing the subject of Dore's galleries, the lecturer commenced with a description of the life at Versailles in the time of Marie Antoinette, then passed on to an exhibition of the best work of old and new masters in the Louvre collection. All the views were beautiful, but at certain ones the audience would audibly manifest their interest by a murmur of oh's and ah's, which led the fraulieu to hold them longer. Her observations on the tendencies of different schools, and especial qualities of certain masters; illustrated as they were by the pictures, was of great value to those who study, and many must have take away from the lecture a new idea of the beauty and power of great art. After the Louvre, the Luxembourg, and the modern paintings, many of them familiar in black and white reproductions, now seen in their true coloring.
This lecture must have been of great value to the student. There never were such lantern pictures shown in Lawrence before and probably will not be unless Fraulein Stolle visits here again.

A WILD GOOSE TEAM.
A Sumner Lad Has a Daring Scheme for Aerial Navigation.
The duties of Chancellor Snow are varied. Besides acting as chancellor, teaching his class and lecturing over the state he is frequently called upon for advice. Recently he received a letter from a young genius whose home is in Sumner in which he unfolds a daring scheme for aerial navigation. The genius thinks it is a good thing and wants the Chancellor to tell him how to get the government to help him, or else to recommend him to some man of means who is willing to back him $1000 worth.
The young inventor reasons that one wild goose can carry two or three pounds and therefore 200 will carry 400 pounds. Now a man will weigh 150 pounds and a wagon and harness, fifty pounds, all of which the 200 geese could easily carry and have two hundred pounds to spare. The genius thinks he knows how to catch the geese and says that he has ideas for harness and wagon but needs one thousand dollars and wants the chancellor to tell him how to get his scheme before the government without acquiring notoriety. In concluding he says: "Do you think the scheme practical enough to result in success and if so how could I get the government to act on it without my scheme becoming public comment? Or do you know of any man 'of means whom you think I could interest?"
"I am 21 years of age and have not had time to accumulate the amount of capital acquired."
The chancellor can do a good many daring things, but he thinks he must draw the line at becoming a partner in a wild goose aerial navigation company especially if he should ever be expected to do the driving.

Several western universities refuse to take cognizance of the foot-ball rules planned by Professors Stagg and Everett, only so far as they may agree with the rules endorsed by the eastern conference, which will be held in New York some time in February. There is no serious objection to Prof. Stagg's rules, but it is not thought best by some of the larger western universities to play by the eastern college rules and not have sectional, but national collegiate rules of play.

Stagg's Rules Not Approved by Northwestern or Wisconsin.
The revision of football rules as made by Professors Stagg and Everett does not seem to meet with approval at Northwestern University. Athletes there say that the changes made will not benefit the game, except in minor details. The only rule which meets the approval of all is the one regarding scoring. Coach Van Doozer says that he hopes that the proposed rules will not be adopted.
WESTERN OR EASTERN REVISION.
At the University of Chicago, the opinion seems to be that the changes are for the better.
When Professor Stagg was asked to explain how the new rules in regard to calling the men back differed from the old one, he said: 'In the old rule there was described an imaginary quadrangle, which for one dimension had five men on the line, and for the other a line five yards long, drawn back from the ends of the line as it stood. By the old rule, inside this quadrangle there could be the quarter back and four other players, arranged in any formation whatsoever, while another player could be played anywhere outside the quadrangle. This made it practically possible to mass six men on any point in the line, and in several formations this was done with injury to the players. In the new rules no more than three men and the quarter back are allowed to be directly behind the line. Five men must be on the line, and the other two men can be played anywhere, so long as they are clearly outside of the men on the end of the line. This does not, nor was it intended, to do away with the guards' back or the Pennsylvania plays, but it does weaken them and make them less dangerous.
Continuing, Stagg says: 'In regard to the points, I am convinced, as I was convinced early in last season, that any team with a line that could hold at all could use the place kick to advantage. It does not take a good kicker to use the play. Gardner or any other of several of our players could have made the oyl in the Michigan game nearly as well as Herschberger. Herschberger himself admits this, and he approves with me of making the place kick less valuable than the drop kick.
"I have not yet heard from other schools in regard to the rules, but am sending out copies to experts in the east as well as in the west. What we want in the matter is to get the best opinion. If we have done nothing else in the rules, we have at least made them so they can be read intelligibly. Before they were a patchwork, wherein there were contradictions and obsolete parts."
The Wisconsin Cardinal says editorially, in regard to the new foot-ball rules: "It is not likely that Wisconsin will take cognition of the foot-ball rules as laid out by Stagg and Everett, except in so far as they agree with the results of the eastern conferences which will be held in New York on February 12. As we predicted, the attempt on the part of Chicago to establish in the west, rules different from those in the east, has failed. While there are some good points to the new rules, the revision as a whole is incompetent and will not prove acceptable to most western colleges. Northwestern has already expressed her disapproval of the revision, while the antagonism of Wisconsin and Michigan to any strictly western rules, is well known. Without the support of these three important institutions the rules will never go into effect. Wisconsin maintains that there is no need of separate rules for the west, and will wait for and abide by the eastern rules."
Track Captain Everett J. Brown, of the University of California, returned last week from a trip through the east in the interests of the Athletic association of his college. During the trip he did a little investigating into eastern amateurism and in this connection has the following to say:
EASTERN PROFESSIONALISM
Amateurism a Mere Pretense in Some of the Big Universities.
"We are told to look to the east as the acme of dignified amateur athletics, but I tell you that we are far better right here in the west. Amateurism is a mere pretense in some of the big universities. When I told them our methods they laughed and said they savored of the 'prep' school. I met men from Yale who boasted that they had not seen the college campus during the football season, and Princeton was not far behind. Harvard is more like California, and that's why she does not win. The Cambridge men are expected to study, and at Pennsylvania you will find the football team recruited all the way from country blacksmith shops to the New York police force."
A number of essays and addresses, by President Elliot, of Harvard, have been published under the title of "American Contributions to Civilization."
Mr. Ralph Valentine a K. U. student has re-entered the University to take a course in assaying preparatory to go to Coxtica.

COLLEGE POLITICS
BAS COME TO BE A LARGE PART OF COLLEGE LIFE
It Is Not Atitogether Impure. Though It May Seem so to Those on the Outside — An Entertaining Discussion By M. P. Cannon of Ottawa.
The last issue of the Ottawa Campus contains an interesting discussion of College Politics by Mr. M. P. Cannon. Mr. Cannon is prominent in Ottawa University and is competent to tell something about student politics. His views will be found of general interest, and are here re-published in full:
In the issue of the Kansas University WEEKLY of September, a large space was devoted to what the editor was pleased to call politics, and indeed the title was no misnomer. Presidents of the different classes were to be elected, and similar officers for other numerous societies and fraternities were to be chosen. This condition has come to be a part of college life throughout the country. At some time during the year officers to administer the affairs of the different student organizations are to be elected. Candidates for these positions are not wanting. The good and bad qualities of these coming statesmen are freely discussed at clubs, in private rooms, on the streets, in the halls, in the laboratories and every place where it is possible for two students to meet and exchange half a dozen words.
In some cases the highest excitement prevails. Faction arrays itself against faction in an attack of the bitterest animosity. Leaders lay awake nights and make plans to defeat their opponents. They run across bystreets and up back stairs to hold midnight consultations with some other good fellows of their own faction to devise methods for winning the doubtful votes. The political pulse of every voter is felt the next day. The various ways of doing this are often ingenious enough to excite the envy of the great Platt himself, because the poor student, deprived of money, attains his political ends by pure scheming, while the great municipal politicians are sometimes compelled to employ the agency of the unrighteous mammon in the exercise of their patriotism.
Those who are familiar with college life have witnessed such scenes as these in greater or less degree. Yet, lest some one who has never been in college or some over-conscientious student who has renounced the flesh and withdrawn himself from the contaminating influence of his college society into the cloister of his Greek and Latin text books, should chance to see this, a short explanation of conditions might be profitable.
In all the best institutions of the country the idea of self-culture in a limited degree prevails. While the curriculum is under the immediate control of the teachers and professors, there are many organizations maintained by the students for the purpose of self-training, and the work in these is self-imposed, or at least independent of the faculty. Under these conditions a sort of perpetual community forms in the student body. And especially is this true of the colleges where a student stays for four years, or even longer, where an academic and college department are combined in one institution. The longer they stay the more they become interested, and if they have the least degree of public spirit it will not fail to manifest itself by the time their course is half over. For the time being the college and its society is their little world. The affairs of their circle magnify themselves in importance as they are excluded from others outside. It is more than an ordinary community, too; because more ambition is represented proportionally than society generally contains
Every influence that tends to awaken the impulse to public action is brought to bear upon the student. This is proven by the fact that the student very soon yields to this impulse by the development of what is called "college patriotism."
One great incentive to political activity in college life is the distinction it brings outside. We are all anxious to make a good impression upon our friends at home. The press mention which attends the appointment of a delegate to attend a state meeting of the oratorical society, or to attend some athletic meeting in which matters of interest are to be discussed, or to become a manager of the base ball or football team, or to become president of a

society or class, is gratifying for our friends to read. It makes them think we are one of the leaders. They think it is a hopeful sign for the future.
College politics takes its place along with many other things of a common character. It is but one of the many present phenomena of democratic tendency. It is a natural growth and a necessary condition. The political life of the student is but a miniature of the great political world outside. In it is found a type of every class of politicians. There is the good, whole souled congenial fellow, who has all friends and no enemies, is a good speaker and always captivates the crowd. He always holds a good office and holds at his command the patronage of all. Such is the material out of which future officers of the government will be made, whichwill depend upon the direct vote of the people.
There is also the stiff, unbending advocate of certain measures which he believes to be the right policy. He has opinions of his own and very little charity for those who differ from him. He never hesitates to express his convictions. Such a man seldom has wide political influence, and is a type of the man in the political world who once in a while comes to the surface on his merit in the time of great crises.
Again, there is the man who is thoroughly hated by a good majority of the students because they think he is a scil ...er. He is not only hated but feared. He is the diplomat of the college. If any negotiating with another college is to be done, in which there is the least apprehension of shady dealing on the part of that college, this same gentleman is sent as a plenipotentiary on that important mission. One young man in a western college is said to have repeated the political experience of his famous father in connection with an oratorical association.
These are all intermediate types that go to make up the lesser lights and the common people. It has been remarked that every college has its Tammany, an inner circle of ambitious, designating fellows who try to shape all the policies and fill all the offices. While this is perhaps true to a large extent, it is no less deplorable than is the real Tammany. But what makes this possible? The same thing that makes it possible for a great municipality to be robbed and duped by a ring of corrupt politicians. Ambition will always assert itself. It is a natural constituent of human nature. And the only guard against the political mischief brought about by over-ambitious men is the vigilance of the people. The political corruption that we hear so much about is as much due to the inertia and complacency of the honest as to the ambitions of the designing and unscrupulous. In college politics the students unconci

usily receive a training in alertness. The incentives to activity are correspondingly greater than in the actual world, and so we have an example of democracy which approaches more nearly the ideal, where a greater per cent of the people are interested in public affairs and where the leaders are found to be more fair and open. But the training a student receives in the management of affairs is today a great part of his education.
The questions of policy which come up to be settled in the various organizations give an opportunity for brilliant diplomacy and skillful management. If training of this kind will not have its effect on the life of a student after he leaves college, far less will the mere scholarship which he possibly attains influence his own life and that of others. The student who goes through a college course surrounded by all the influences that tend to cultivate a desire to mingle in affairs and yet withdraws himself from the common affairs of the student body, will belong to that class of citizens which makes it possible for corrupt political rings to rule the affairs of the country.

RELIGIOUS CENSUS.
THE REPORT OF PROFESSOR KELSYE
OF MICHIGAN SOON TO APPEAR.
It Will Show That in the State Universities Les Less Than Twelve Per Cent of the Students Are Found Without Church Connections or Preferences.
The religious census of the state universities and 1 of the Presbyterian colleges, edited by Professor Kelsey of the University of Michigan, is about to appear in pamphlet form. Advance sheets of the work indicate much new matter, statistical and otherwise, besides that already published in the Atlantic Monthly for December, 1897, under the title, "State Universities and Church Colleges." Statistics appear in tables convenient for reference, collected officially from the sixteen state universities and thirty-six of the thirty-seven Presbyterian colleges, in which taken together more than 18,000 students were enrolled last year. In the state universities less than 12 per cent of the dents were found without church connections or preferences.
"In these sixteen state universities at least one student in every six belongs by membership or affiliation to the Methodist Episcopal church. If the Methodist students were separated out and placed by themselves, they might be divided into nine colleges, the enrollment of each which would be nearly as large, for instance, as the total enrollment of the Wesleyan university at Middletown, Connecticut."
"The statistics show, first, that a majority of all the students in the State universities are members of churches, about one-half being members of the so called evangelical churches; of those who are not members a considerable portion attend a particular church, and may be classed as adherents. In five state universities selected as representative in regard to size and geographical distribution the total enrollment, at the time the census was taken, was 5.173. Only 211 students were not reached by the census; the ecclesiastical status of 4,962 was ascertained. In the five Universities 2,851 students placed themselves on record as church members, 1,556 as church adherents, and 556 as not members or adherents."
"In the state universities of Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Washington and West Virginia, having a total enrollment of 5,173 students, the Methodist Episcopal church was credited with 1,098 members and adherents; the Presbyterian, with 854; the Congregational with 612; the Episcopal, with 484; the Baptist, with 352; the Church of Christ (or Disciples, or Christian), with 227; the Unitarian church, with 166; and the Roman Catholic with 165. In the sixteen universities, with a total attendance last year of 13,697, the Methodist Episcopal church could claim 659 members and adherents; the Presbyterian church, 2,284; the Congregational church, 1,740; the Episcopal church, 1,215; the Baptist church, 1,063; the Church of Christ, 607; the Roman Catholic church, 528; and the Unitarian church, 411."
At the University of Michigan out of a total of 2,261 men who were reached by the census, 1,185 were church members, 718 were church adherents, 298 were not adherents. Out of a total of 660 women, 461 were church members, 168 were church adherents, 31 were not adherents. That is, there were in the University at the time the census was taken, at least 2,532 students who were either church members or church adherents.
The church colleges contain relatively a greater number of men who are preparing to enter the ministry while the state universities contribute more in proportion to other professions. It is not, however, unlikely that in twenty-five years the majority of educated laymen in every religious denomination, except the Roman Catholic, will be men who have never entered the doors of denominational colleges.
The Methodists lead among the denominations represented at the University of Michigan, the Presbyterians are second, the Congregationalists are third, the Episcopalians are fourth.
Copies of the pamphlet may be obtained from Secretary Wade of the University of Michigan.
