WHY NOT?
AN INTER-COLLEGIATE TRACK AND FIELD MEET PROPOSED.
Professors and Students Allike Are Interested-Financial Uncertainty Is the Only Draw Back.
"Why shouldn't there be an intercollegiate track and field meet between the colleges of the present football association?" mused Captain Mosse, as he stood in the hall examining the rules and records of the athletic association. At last he admitted that such was the case, when a WEEKLY reporter walked up and asked him if he was trying to figure how far he would have to put the shot at the next field meet to break the University record.
The slight interest in track events is one of the most lamentable features of the athletic situation here," went on Captain Mosse, "and the records are such as would disgrace a second rate "prep." school. Two things are necessary to remedy this condition; one is to create an incentive for work and training in this department of athletics by the establishment of an intercollegiate meet, the other the improvement of the field and the construction of a good track. If the first can be secured, the second will follow; and there seems to me to be no reason why such an association might not be found."
Prof. Clark came up as Mosse was talking and expressed his sympathy with the views expressed. 'I am glad to hear this talk of track athletes and hope something besides talk will follow. Of course, we labor under a disadvantage in regard to training facilities, but I think these can be partly remedied at slight expense. In the first place the cinder track at the field ought to be put in shape. I would then suggest that one of the sheds be fitted up as a dressing room. Then put some one in charge; let him be on the field every day at a certain time and put the boys through a course of training.'
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all. Nebraska has already written to me to suggest a tennis tournament, and I am sure they would favor a track and field meet. Missouri is always ready and willing to meet us and a meet at Fairmount, or at the Country club at Kansas City, would, I am positive, draw a big crowd. Nothing of the kind has ever been held there. We might hold a sort of a general athletic carnival on the order of the Athenian games."
Asked as to what he thought of the possibility of forming the league proposed by Captain Moss, the professor said:
"What do you think of the possibility of a good team?" If the boys will get out and work we ought to have a good team. We certainly have the material."
"How would it do to have a team from each class and give a cup to the winners?" "First rate, first rate, that would interest the classes and bring out the best material." "That suggestion of a cup reminds me of anything said," Mousse. "Prizes in the shape of medals ought to be awarded for the breaking of a record, instead of getting gigas and gymnasium shoes from the merchants. Such prizes would be of a lasting character and would prove an incentive to do good work most."
Prof. Adams, when seen by a reporter and told of the agitation for a meet at Kansas City, said: "I frankly confess that I think the project too ambitious. I believe the way to develop athletics here is first by competition with neighboring colleges and then by a meet with Missouri. We must not try to do too much at first. The financial success of the more ambitious scheme is at this stage very doubtful." Upon Prof. Adam's suggestion that the financial end of the plan might be too heavy to carry, the business office was next invaded and Mr. Moody seen.
"I am confident," said Mr. Moody, "that arrangements could be made at Kansas City whereby expenses might be guaranteed. In '94 the management of Fairmount Park offered to pay all the expenses of the teams from Missouri, Nebraska, and Kansas at a field meet to be held at the Park and to give a trophy. Nebraska'was unable to send a team, and a ball game between Missouri and
Kansas was arranged on the same basis. Such an association ought to be formed and will ultimately. The main thing to do is to organize. If we can get expenses for the first year guaranteed, that is all we should ask. When the association is once well established, it will, undoubtedly take care of itself, but let us at least organize now, even if we get nothing but expense. I hope the matter will be pushed."
Mr. Moody's long experience as treasurer of the Athletic association puts him in a position to speak authoritatively as to the financial possibilities of the plan. It was largely due to his efforts that the present foot-ball association was formed, and Mr. Moody, who seems to be thoroughly interested, has offered to assist in every way the formation of the proposed league.
The WEEKLY also took advantage of Dr. Woodruff's presence in the city to get his views on the matter. The doctor seemed heartily in favor of the proposed league, though he expressed some doubts as to its financial success. "I would at least suggest an inter-collegiate and interacademic relay roll at our meet here. Let neighboring colleges, academies and high schools send relay teams to compete for a banner to be given to the winner. Put four teams in each division, and give a cup to the winner of each division. Let the winners of each division then run in the final. I know of no sport outside of football so exciting to watch as a relay race. The possibilities of a track team here ought to be good. The boys must work thought; and indeed, that is the secret of success in every branch of athletics, good faithful work."
Altogether there is an encouraging revival of interest in track athletics. The members of the football team especially seem anxious to show the public that theirs is not a one-sided physical development. Captain Speak and Manager McKay are both working hard and both favor the proposed league if expenses can be guaranteed. The prevailing sentiment among those interested seems to be that the association ought to be formed. When once organized there is no reason why world's records might not be broken at the annual meet in Kansas City and by Kansas University men.

Thompson Law Prize
Prof. Brownell called the attention of the Junior Laws to the Thompson prize contest on Tuesday morning. The Edward Thompson Publishing Co., has offered a set of its valuable encyclopedic compilations of law to the student in the Law school, who will submit the best thesis on the subject. "Do combinations between laborers, mechanics, and other workmen to control the price of their labor stand upon the same legal footing as combinations between dealers?" The thesis must be not less than three thousand, nor more than four thousand words. It is to be submitted to a committee of the alumni of the Law school, to be selected by the faculty of the department.
The winner may have his pick of three sets of books; the old or the new American Encyclopedia of Law in thirty-one volumes, or the American Encyclopedia of Pleadings and Practice, nine volumes of which have now been published. Any of the above works are worth something over $200 and this prize is the most valuable one given in any department of the University.
Secretary Cheadle of the joint commit.ee has received a letter from Missouri University in which it is stated that Nebraska has consented to the management proposed by Missouri that the home management pay the expenses of the visiting team in the inter-collegiate debates between Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas.This removes the last hitch in the debate arrangements.

There was a thrilling joy; there was a sudden cessation; there were others. Two had zitted; three had seen. Two gasped with surprise; three burst into laughter.
The air one entered the house; the one not so far hurried quickly along the street.
The three watched the one; the one watched the three. The one sought the side of a tree not lighted by the moon; the three chased him from his hiding place, and in spite of his rapid flight, made certain who he was. Who was the fair one? Who was the other? Ask the three.

The Senior Law Class Have an Exciting Time
The Senior Law class met last Monday to consider the proposition made to it by the Senior Art class to unite in the Senior Annual. After a stormy discussion a motion to accept was carried. On Tuesday at another meeting of the class a motion to reconsider the action of the day before was made and seconded. Then followed the greatest parliamentary w rangle and victory of the year. The opponents to the measure led by Mr. Allen and Mr. Jackson were on this day in the majority by fourteene votes, but the minority lead by Mr. Kretsinger and Mr. Games by well laid schemes prevented the motion to reconsider from coming to a vote, and defeated every step taken by the majority, thus leaving the proposition accepted as it was the day before when the friends of it were in the majority. $ ^{*} $

Anyone desiring to obtain text books on electricity, will get them as cheaply from him as by ordering them at the bookstore. He is also agent for the Electrical World the best electrical paper in the county.
The most exciting and interesting feature of the discussion on Tuesday was the sarcastic cross firing between Kretsinger, Jackson and Games. Mr. Jackson said that "if the friends of the proposition would find their minds more and their stomachs less they would be more able to talk on the subjects." Kretsinger replied that if he, Mr. Jackson, would put his friend in a pea nut shell, there would be more room left than if he were to throw a bean into the Atlantic ocean." At this remark Mr. Jackson and his friend hissed, when quick as a flash Mr. Kretsinger said, "In Divine economy, it has been decreed that all living things, only two should be endowed with the ability to hiss, the snake and the goose, the former because of its venom, and the latter because it is a fool. Now, Mr. Jackson, to which class you belong." While Mr. Games was talking, Mr. Jackson said that it was against public policy for a man to talk so long and say nothing.
Filibustering continued until noon, when the house was forced to adjourn.

Salutatory.
It is with some temerity that the new board presents this, its initial issue. We realize that we succeed the most capable, at least the most successful, board that has had charge of the Weekly since its inception. The skill and energy of Mr. Johnson, the retiring editor, has transformed the Weekly from a weekly bargain counter of literary odds and ends to a live newspaper. The transition has been so successful as to give to the University of Kansas what, thanks to the guidance of Mr. Johnson, may be confidently called one of the best college papers in press. The seeming facility, too, with which the paper has been filled from week to week with live college news and gossip has proven that there is, at this institution, a real genuine college life; else a paper devoted entirely to news and drawing its news from this source, alone could not have succeeded; and this fact has been a stumbling block in the way of croakers who assert that at Kansas, no college life exists, and at Kansas, college spirit is entirely dead.
This college life it will be the aim of the new editor, as of the old, to depict; and this college spirit it will be his purpose to foster in those spots where it is now, at the best, in but an embryonic state.
Why shouldn't Kansas have a good track team?
Some of the letters sent to the chancellor would indicate that all the fools are not yet dead.
We may soon expect to see the girls electionering for the lucrative position of lady manager for an indoor meet class team.
We are glad to see that a creditable literary publication is assured. Such a medium for the literary activity of the institution is needed.
Athletics at Michigan has been put under the charge of the literary committee. A Michigan athlete may no longer be called a "crackerjack."
Iowa seems to have a set of newspaper correspondents as anxious to send out exaggerated reports discreditable to the University as those of Lawrence.
President Jesse boasts that his disciplinary committee has not met this year. Does it take a run-away football team to call the Columbia censors together?
The election of Mr. Kretzinger as vice president of the Kansas Day club is a thing of which not only Mr. Kretzinger, but the law school and the University at large, ought to be proud.
At the World's Fair the Snow Hall collection was the most talked of educational exhibit in the White City. It advertised Kansas and its University as no other state was advertised. While it is thus within our power to make an exhibition unique and unrivalled, the parsimony of our legislative fathers has not only made such an exhibit impossible, but has rendered any representation at all at the Omaha exposition highly improbable.
Track Athletics
The superiority of the last in football is fast fading away, due to the systematic coaching and training now employed by Western colleges. The same systematic and faithful training at the colleges of the Northwest and of the Pacific coast has recently been productive of as spirited inter-collegiate track and field meets and as good records, as those found among the colleges east of the Alleghanies. The WEEKLY is at a loss to see why the brawn and muscle of the Middle West cannot achieve as good success. We are glad to see the agitation for a field meet between the colleges of the present football association. Inter-collegiate contests of any character are broadening; they serve to destroy the insular feeling prevalent at so many colleges. We hope this matter will be pushed and that the first meet of the proposed association will be held this spring
Not only should all branches of college effort be encouraged, if we are to have a well rounded college life, but there should be full and well rounded development of each individual branch. Athletics doesn't mean foot-ball alone. It also includes base ball and track athletics.
CHEMICAL SEMINARY
Few students outside of the department in the University know of the Chemical Seminary This seminary meets every Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock and is composed of professors and students who are interested in the science of Chemistry. Although most of the members are doing special work in Prof. Bailey's department, it is not supposed that any one who is interested will stay away on that account. It free to be all and is usually conducted in such a manner that any one can understand what is said.
Prof. Bartow had charge of the last meeting. He realk the report of the special committee appointed by Hon. R. E. Preston, on the Creative Process of E. C. Brice. For the benefit of those who do not read the wonderful stories in our Sunday newspapers it might be stated that the process of E.C. Brice is one for creating gold and silver out of Antimony. Mr. Brice was twice refused a patent on his process and when he applied the third time the matter was referred to the director of the mint who appointed a committee to investigate the wonderful discovery. After reading this report Dr. Bartow discussed the outline of Bouuer Redwood's book on Petroleum and its Products. Before the close a number of mineral specimens were passed around
Civil Engineering Society
The Civil Engineering society had a very interesting meeting last Wednesday. Mr. Macomb gave a talk on the graphical solution of a solar eclipse. He showed that by this method the lines of beginning of eclipse, of greatest darkness, and the degree of totality for any given point on the earth's surface could be found within very close limits. As an illustration of the use of this method he showed a large scale drawing of the recent eclipse of the sun as seen at Bombay, India. Mr. Myers developed an expression for the angle of shear in short blocks under compression and showed that the angle which the planes (in homogeneous blocks) of shear make with the horizontal must be 45 degrees plus one-half the angle of repose of the material of which the blocks are composed. He also showed that cases of failure of such blocks occurring in the laboratory conform very closely to their theoretical standard.
AMUSEMENTS
Referring to the engagement of Dvorak for three night next week, it will be noticed that the prices are made on popular basis. These low prices are made simply and only because Mr. Dvorak is not known to our theater going people, and in no sense does it represent the merit of the performances.
The new pipe organ has already done its work. It has not only increased the chapel attendance, but the soul-stirring service on Tuesday morning so aroused the "power" among the junior laws that when Prof. Brownell was called out of the room for a minute during the recitation period following chapel, the whole class burst out with the "Sweet bye and bye" and other sacred hymns.
Mr. Dvorak comes highly recommended as do also the various members of his company.
Mr. Dvorak will be at the Bowersock opera house Thursday, Feb. 10, in "Richieieu," and on Friday, Feb. 11, in "The Merchant of Venice," Saturday, Feb. 12, "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. First floor 50c, balcony 35c, gallery 25c.

BOOKS AND THINGS
Since Mr. Kipling's departure for Africa we have been looking again over his American story, "Captains Courageous," and we must confess that we are quite content that for the present he is not going to write any more American stories, but will penetrate into the unknown of Africa to find his new plat and setting. For, while "Captains Courageous" shows his characteristic strength of handling it entirely lacks the strangeness, the tropical coloring, the variety that hitherto have constituted Mr. Kipling's greatest charm. There is no doubt but that the fishermen of the Grand Banks are as picturesque a class of men as may be found in all America, but even they are lacking in the mystery and coloring with which Mr. Kiplings works to best advantage. "Captains Courageous," is the story of a smart boy of sixteen, whose father is one of the multi-millionaires of California, who having fallen of a North Atlantic steauer, is picked up by a cod-fisher belonging to the crew off the "We're Here." The captain of the schooner discredits Harvey's tales of his father's fabulous wealth and takes him on their fishing trip to the Grand Banks. From May until September the fishing season lasted and during that time Harvey says: "I worked like a horse, and I ate like a dog, and I slept like a dead man." The season over and the "We're here" put it at Gloucester; then there were telegrams, a flying trip across the continent in a special car, and the overjoyed parents their son, not the same lad, however, but more manly in ideas, deeper chested and broader shouldered. The whole channel of his life has been changed from that of a pampered youngster to that of a many young man. Mr. Kiplings leaves Harvey a Junior at Stanford University but gives us to understand that he is on the road to a worthy, useful life.
Captain's Courageous.
The bare outline of the story shows it' to be not characteristic of Kipling.
Fully two-thirds of the book are taken by the life abroad, the 'Wess Hass.'
Fully two-thirds of the book are taken up by the life abroad the "Were Here." The long description grows tedious except in a few, thrilling incidents such as the wreck of the "Carrie Fitman," the washing up of the dead Frenchman, or the gathering of the fleet at the Grand Banks. The book is full of fisherman's terms and most landsmend would be glad of a glossary for one meets such words as, "sweed," "scrowged," "ulliskin," "squid," "trawl" and literally scores of others not included in an ordinary inlander's vocabulary.
However, for a fresher smell of salt air, reeking with vitality, we know of no better place to go unless perhaps to one of Pierre Lotis, "The Iceland Fisherman" for instance. And there is a good deal in common in these two stories. The Frenchman excels in exquisite atmospheric effects which are not found in Kipling. Lotis fishermen are Bretons; Kipling's are from Massachusetts.
Mr. Kipling's familiarity with the Santa Fe and his mention of Topea and Dodge City give a slight local relation which is pleasant.
Altogather, we believe that America is not the proper setting for Mr. Kipling to work in and we will be glad to welcome some African tales.
The Louder in the New York Critic.
I should like to see a society organized for the suppression of science. What is to be the end of all this electrical Paul Prying. It was bad enough to have our words caught on the phonograph, our very vitals laid bare by X rays; but now, worse than all, comes the Junior Edison, who, as it were, shows his scientific heels to his father—beats him in the race, by inventing, so it is said, a machine to photograph our thoughts. Young Mr. Edison is said to be trying to demonstrate that "when a person with a normal mind thinks of a large object, there results a swelling of the head". It did not need science to tell us this. The "swelled head" has long been known in literature, nor do we need a camera to read aright the thoughts which produce the swelling.
Symphony Orchestra May Come.
There is an attempt being made to secure the Kansas City Symphony orchestra for a concert on the afternoon of the 17th or 18th, the proceeds to go to the pipe organ fund. Prof. Penny and Mr. Hilliard Johnson are the prime movers in this project and Mr. Johnson has been circulating a subscription paper among professors, students and down town people. The Kansas City Symphony orchestra is, outside of Theodore Thomas' Chicago orchestra, one of the best in the United States. There are fifty-four musicians in the organization which is under the direction of Behr. It is hoped that the concert can be arranged

Snow Literary.
The Snow Literary was called to order last night by the repeated war-whoop of that organization. It was the first meeting since the society came out of the oratorical contest, represented by the orators receiving first and second places. Every one seemed to have taken new life and joined heartily in the yell.
The One Price Clothiers.
The formal opening *jwas* a beautiful violin solo, followed by a declamation in which the speaker powerfully protrayed the death scene of Benedict Arnold. Mrs. G. W. Stevens read an interesting and well written paper upon "The Policy of Queen Elizabeth." Mr. A C. Wheeler has become very popular as a declaimer and his rendition of a declamation only strengthened that popularity.
After the usual intermission the debate took place upon the question: "Resolved, that the United States is in more danger from external invasion than internal dissension." The question was affirmed by Messrs. Morscher and Laughlin, and denied by Messrs. Moore and Scholer. The judges gave the decision to the negative. The speech by Mr. Moore was particularly telling in argument. The society then began its business session which was largely occupied by discussion as to the contests which are before this society in the not for distant-future.
The number of visitors last night showed in a measure the support which the society should have from the University and the public generally. Visitors are made welcome by the society and their presence is a source of gratification to the members of that organization.
The debate next Friday night will be particularly interesting, as it is upon the question of the benefits of monopolies.

SOCIETY
One of the greatest social events of the season was the Barb dance held at Pythian hall last Friday night. About fifty couples were present. The music was furnished by Buch's orchestra with Curtis Osborne at the piano.
THE BARB DANCE.
These dances have been steadily gaining popularity, until there is now not a ball in town large enough to accommodate all who would like to go. The management of these parties is to be complimented for the entertainment which is always given.
PHI PSIS ENTERTAIN.
On Friday night, February 4, the young men of the Phi Kappa Spi fraternity entertained about one hundred guests with a dancing party. Pythian hall lacked nothing which furnishings and flowers could add, and the effect was heightened by the number of fresh, dainty new gowns which made their first appearance on this happy occasion. The intrance was hung with festoons of evergreens surmounted by a cluster of palms suspended from above and the windows were massed with foliage plants and palms' On the north side of the room a fine effect was gained by massing palms and lillies and similarly in the east end was placed a bank of gorgeous red geraniums The doors were all hung with portiers and in all the available nooks and corners were divans covered with Bagdads and piled with sofa pillows Music was furnished by Zimmerschied's orchestra of Kansas City, and dancing began at 9 o'clock. The programs were an innovation, being small and square, adorned with a Phi Psi pin in velief. Under arch of evergreen surrounded by palms a colored servitor dispensed ice water to the dancers.
The balcony was used as a dining room, and here throughout the evening dainty refreshments were served, consisting of ices, sandwiches and coffee.
Among the guests were many out of town people, some of them old students of the University; whose presence added greatly to the enjoyment of the occasion
Last Saturday evening some of the members of the Utopia club entertained at the home of Prof. Olin in honor of Miss Margaret Northrup who is visiting her brother Fred. Among the many pleasant features of the evening was the guessing of names to fit each of the following requirements.
The Junior promenade will be given April 22d.
Miss Martha White, of Junction City, came up for the Phi Psi party, and is the guest of Miss Nettie Manley. Miss White will be well remembered as a former student, and one of the most popular girls who ever attended the University. She is a member of Pi Beta Phi fraternity.
Miss Laura Poebler, who has been visiting in Iowa, is expected home next week. She will re-enter school immediately on her return.
Miss Helen Stutliff entertained a few friends very pleasantly last week with a chaining dish party. The guests were Prof, and Mrs. Franklin, Prof, and Mrs. Stevens, Prof, and Mrs. Bartow, Mr, and Mrs. Killworth, Miss Nell Blakey, the Misses Snow, Mr. William H. Brown and Mr. McPherson.
Misses Josephine Shellbarbarger, Gertrude Boughton, Tatie Saylor and O'Keefe issued very unique invitations for their card party given at Miss Boughton's February 4th. The invitation was enclosed in a black envelope, tied with purple ribbon.
On Saturday afternoon of last week the Women's league entertained at Mrs. Snow's with one of the receptions which have become a permanent feature of the social life of the University. A very pleasant innovation was the presence of many of the faculty and young men of the University at what has heretofore been strictly a feminine function.
The so called "Calcium" lately discovered at Waverly Kansas is being examined by the chemical department.
Compulsory Chapel Attendance.
Prof. Hopkins has adopted a novel scheme for compelling his English composition students to attend chapel. The hours of the recitation are from 8 to 10, and the professor maintains that in the intervening time the students are subject to his wishes. He orders the class, ninety-seven in all, to go chapel, and they go. This body of students, together with the few stragglers who regularly attend, makes a very presentable chapel attendance. This arbitrary ruling should lead to christening its instigator "Czar Hopkins."
Prof. Blake has been quite ill but has recovered sufficiently to be able to meet his classes

ENGINEERS PROTEST.
The K. U. Special.
The Senior Engineers consider it quite an imposition to be compelled to take Advanced English Composition with the art students. The reasons are two fold Firstly, it reminds them too strongly of the Freshman days when they mingled with the art students. For two hours three times a week there is nothing to distinguish them from the 'arts' which is lamentable indeed. Secondly, it seems unjust to have the same work expected from them who have had no work in the English department since the freshman year, as is expected from the art students who have had the opportunity for much preparation all through their course. It seems as though a class might be organized of engineers alone and thus put all on an equal footing.

Winger, '97 came up from Kansas City to the Phi Fsi party, and remained several days visiting at the chapter house. He has recently resigned his position in Kansas City, and will enter business in Paola.
At chapel one day last week the students were advised to seek soul culture, and at the end of the remarks were informed that they could get it for ten cents a culture by attending the Wednesday afternoon recitals.
The question that is agitating the learned minds of the Senior Engineers about this time is that of their professional theses. Most of the Seniors have chosen the subjects for their papers and will commence work at once. The theses are designed to form the connecting link between the student work and professional practice.
The day for electrical seminary has not yet been decided upon but will be announced next week. All students and professors interested in electrical matters lose a rare opportunity of learning much about practical electricity by staying away from the meetings. From one to three carefully prepared papers are read at every meeting on subjects chosen to instruct as well as please those present and are made as practical as possible.
During the last two weeks of the term just closed the senior class in thermo dynamics of the steam engine enjoyed a very interesting series of talks by Prof Ward on valve setting and how to set up engines and boilers. The talks were very instructive as well as very interesting and impressed the class with the idea that Prof Ward knows a "thing or two" about steam engines. He has seen and done much practical work in this line and was there fore pre-eminently prepared to instruct the students in something not learned from text books.

A Professor's Parents Injured.
Missouri University is making preparations for an exhibit at the Trans-Mississippi exposition at Omaha. Kansas has as yet done nothing. The cut in the legislative appropriation has left no money with which to make such an exhibit. Just what will be done cannot be said. Chancellor Snow is on a committee to consider an educational exhibit, and the University it is presumed will be represented but a distinct University of Kansas exhibit is altogether improbable.
The father and mother of Prof. Olin were quite badly hurt Saturday afternoon as they started to drive to their home in the country. The horse became frightened by a sled which was flying down Mount Oread and a runaway was the result. The occupants of the buggy were thrown out and rendered unconscious. For some time fears were entertained for their recovery but at present they are both better.

LITERARY MAGAZINE ASSURED.
To Be. Under the Control of the English and Art Departments.
K. U. is to have a regularly published literary magazine. This was definitely settled at a meeting of those interested last Monday. The meeting was the second one called for the purpose of considering the ways and means for such a publication.
Prof. Hopkins was elected chairman of the meeting which then proceeded to hear the report of the committee appointed one week beforehand to canvass the University for potential subscribers.
Mr. Rising reported that a partial canvass of the students had resulted already in eight pledged subscribers at 50 cents a year.
Mr. Jones of the English department then outlined the scope of the magazine. It is to be devoted entirely to literature and art. The longer articles are to include essays, stories and book reviews. Then distinct from the long book reviews there is to be a department of book chat under the supervision of Prof. Dunlap. The magazine will also contain an exchange column made up from clippings from the shorter articles of similar publications at other colleges. Perhaps the most unique feature suggested by Mr. Jones is a column to be known as "The Window Seat" consisting of the loosely joined together but pithy reflections of a literary man
The meeting then proceeded to consider the methods to be employed in the selection of a staff. There seemed to be an almost unanimous sentiment that some plan must be devised to preserve the literary character of the publication. It was finally determined after much discussion, in which everybody mis understood everybody else, to constitute the departments of English, and Art, and the heads of the departments of Latin, Greek, French, and German, a board of control for the magazine with general power to direct the policy of the paper. The selection of the staff and business manager is to be under their supervision.

A Small Audience Listens to a Thrilling Story of a Trip Over Miles of
Lieutenant Peary lectured before a disgracefully small audience at the University Tuesday night, for the benefit of the Organ Fund.
LIEUTENANT PEARY'S LECTURE
Frozen Waters
Prof. Dyche introduced the famous explorer in a graceful little speech in which he predicted that before the close of the century Lieutenant Peary would accomplish the end to which he has devoted his life, and become the first to find the pole.
Lieut. Peary began by stating that since the expeditions of Kane and Franklin, there had never been a time of such wide spread interest in Arctic and Antarctic explorations as the present. There are now four men either actively engaged in Arctic exploration, or making preparation, while another intrepid explorer is at this moment within the Antarctic circle.
Passing hurriedly over a description of the topography of Greenland, the speaker went on to describe, with the aid of vivid stereoclick views, his trip with two white companions, their sledges and dogs, over the ice-capped rampart of inland Greenland, where, said the explorer, but three things besides his own body, were to be seen—"the limitless expanse of snow and ice, the infinite beavers, and the ever present sun." It is safe to say that such a thrilling account of hardihood and daring was never given before in the University.
Lieut. Peary, on his last voyage, brought back with him the largest meteorite in the world, weighing 200,000 pounds, which is now in the possession of the Navy Department. This summer he expects to start out again with a stock of provisions calculated to last five years, and when he returns, hopes to have 'found the pole.'
INDOOR MEET.
Class Interest to Be Aroused.
Manager McKay is making preparations for the annual indoor meet. Two years ago great interest was manifested in his athletic event, and there was a large attendance. Each class elected a lady manager, whose duty it was to find entries and work up enthusiasm in her class. The boys athletically inclined could not, of course, resist the pleadings of their lady manager to enter, and larger entries than usual was the result; while the presence of their girl classmates to cheer and watch them, nerved the boys on to their best.
The same plan will be tried this year and a cup will be presented to the class team scoring the most points. This cup will of course be gracefully presented by the boys to their lady managers. Eleceoreing by the girls for this lucrative position may be expected.
AMUSEMENTS.
An attraction that will call for more than passing attention from theatre goers in Harry Martell's realistic southern production. The South before the War, which will appear at opera house on Monday, Feb. 7. The play introduces a number of scenes that are suggestive of the south in slavery times. The negro is represented by negroes in widely different environments. Jubilee songs and dances, buck and wing dancing, visions of an old time camp meeting, introducing all the characters usually seen there, a cake walk for gold and silver prizes, and a pickaninny band of seventeen little colored boys, are a few of the novelties introduced. The lovable and bright side of negro life, living in a village of plantation cabins, is shown, and the sum total of the entertainment is a scene of animated rural simplicity in Dixie as pictured by the pens of writers famous in history and romance. The company presenting this interesting play is a very large one, numbering some fifty people, and who travel in their own $12,000 palace car. Parade with band on Monday, and band concert in front of opera house in the evening.

THE QUESTION OF FEES.
No Reply from the Attorney General-
Facts and Law.
The pharmacy students are still paying fees. No action has yet been taken by the Attorney General and it is thought that the matter has gone as far as it ever will. The jaw upon the subject is very plain. After the library fee was declared illegal the legislature amended the act regulating University affairs so as to remove all ambiguity as to the power of the Regents to impose fees. The statute now reads:
Section 6380 of the general statutes of 1889 is hereby amended so as to read as follows; Section 6380. Tuition shall be free to all inhabitants of the state in the schools of arts, engineering, pharmacy, law and medicine. All non-resident students and all students in the schools of fine arts shall pay such tuition fees as the regents may establish; and every student of the University shall pay laboratory fees to cover the cost of material used and breakage of apparatus and a graduation fee of five dollars.
The right of the regents to impose fees on pharmacy students seems unquestionably to follow from the above section of the statutes. As to the amount of the fees, it is claimed that the charge is not exorbitant. The price is placed somewhat above the wholesale price at which the goods are purchased by the University, but no charge is made for the material used in general experiments by the class as a whole and the excess over the wholesale price is intended to no more than cover this material.
In the case of alcohol, for instance, large quantities are used in general experiments for which no direct charge is made. To make the rate for alcohol less than one cent an ounce in quantities of a few ounces at a time would, besides, be hardly practicable, while if purchased at the drug stores in such small quantities the price charged would be many times that set upon it by the Pharmacy department. Even for large quantities the department price is cheaper than that of the drug stores, as the University is subject to no tax.
Preliminary Examination for Master's Degree.
On Friday of last week the first student candidates for advanced degress who have been publicly examined here were examined on the work in one of their chosen courses. The candidates were Miss Spencer, Miss Dudley, Miss Metcalf and Mr. A. McKeever. each for the degree A. M. The examination was in English invection. Dean Blackmar of the graduate school presided and Professor Hopkins conducted the formal examination on the part of the department. The examination by the department was extended and severe. When it was ended the attendant professors and students were called on to question the candidates. A large number of the students and ex-students of the department were present, and the candidates were subjected to another long and vigorous, though an informal examination. At the close of this, Professor Hopkins congratulated the candidates upon the excellence of their standing in the test.
Benefactors.
When Elliott Brothers built their little house on the hill side, the book dealers little thought that it foreshadowed a possible ruin for themselves: The boys have considerably reduced the price of text books and are doing an extensive business. They are on the road to success, for students appreciate such favors and will not be slow to reward such efforts.

PRELIMINARY DEBATERS CHOSEN.
Representatives of the Adelphic Literary society, Snow Literary society, and Kent club have been determined upon and now all interest is centered on the final preliminary debate contest which will be held February 18. The three champions at this contest will represent K. U. in the Kansas-Missouri debate.
Adelephic, Kent, and Snow Hold Their Missouri Preliminaries-Final Conference
Last Saturday morning the Kent club held its preliminary in east Law room. This club has a reputation for doing excellent work in debate and this contest proves it to be well merited. The question debated was, in substance, the one which will be used in the final, namely. Resolved that an income tax would be a beneficial part of our system of taxation. Each speaker had twelve minutes for debate and three minutes for a closing speech. Wm. Kretsinger and T. M. Brady, receiving first and second places represent Kent club in the final preliminary. The judges were Prof. Blackmar, Prof. Templein and Judge Nevison.
The Adelphic Literary society held its preliminary last Saturday evening. The hall was well filled. The mysterious atmosphere which is always present at an especially important meeting gave dignity to the proceedings. Pres. Hamer called the meeting to order and with a neat speech handed the gavel to his successor, Mr. Peterson. The program was interspersed with music. The instrumental music by Miss Criss and the solo by Miss Brown were highly appreciated. The six contestants in the debate were Messrs. Ellis, Morgan, Niheart, Simpson and Burdick. The friends of Walter Layton were sorry to learn that sickness would prevent his presence. The subject for debate was the income tax question. It was decided by lot twenty-four hours before the debate, which side each speaker was to champion. The time limit for debate was twelve minutes, and no closing speeches were allowed.
The contest was strong and very close. The judges, Prof. Stanley, Rev. Brehm and Mr. Chrisman awarded first and second places to Mr. Simpson and Mr. Burdick. The Adelphic may well be proud of its representatives. They are both senior laws, strong students and experienced debaters.
Snow Literary society chose its representatives by vote of the society. B. B. McCall and Mr. Messerly received the unanimous vote. These debaters are well known senior Arts. B. B. McCall took first place in the Kansas-Nebraska debate in 1806.
The interest in the preliminaries and the quality of the debating material are gratifying, for they promise a strong final preliminary, and that means we will show Missouri that we can debate as well as play football.

First of the Afternoon Recitals
The first of the series of pipe organ and piano recitals was given Wednesday afternoon at 5 o'clock, before a very small but very appreciative audience. The program was very artistically rendered by the two participants, Prof. Penny and Miss Myrtle Lawton. Comment on Prof. Penny's numbers would be unnecessary, as everybody knows his artistic style of playing. Few people have had the pleasure of hearing Miss Lawton sing in public. Her voice, though not strong, possesses a sweetness and accuracy which is very pleasing. The first piece on the program was the most brilliant and probably the most enjoyed, by the audience, with the possible exception of the last one, the "Coronation March" from "Le Prophete." Miss Lawton's two songs were well selected and enjoyed by the audience, the second one receiving a hearty excore, to which, however, she did not respond.
On the whole the program was highly enjoyed and well worth the price of admission, 10c. In the reries there will be twenty recitals—ten piano and ten organ recitals. Tickets for the series are sold for $1, or 5c for each recital. The proceeds are given to the pipe organ fund. This is a rare opportunity for the students to help along the fund, and at the same time receive the worth of their money.

ENGAGEMENT OF THE KANSAS CITY
SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.
FIFTY FOUR ; EXCELLENT MUSICIANS.
The Grand Concert at Last Assured—It Will Be Given in Lawrence on Friday Afternoon, Feb. 18.
The special engagement of the Kansas City Symphony Orchestra for a Lawrence concert is now assured. An effort has been made several times in years past, to bring this superb orchestral association to Lawrence, but always without success. The risk of the guarantee has been too great. But now the managers of the Pipe Organ concert course have taken advantage of the liberal offer from the Symphony association, to give to the people of Lawrence and the students and faculty of the University a concert by the best orchestral association west of Chicago, a close second even to the famous Thomas orchestra.
The concert will be given on the afternoon of next Friday and the whole company of musicians, including fifty-four people, will at that time be in Lawrence. John Behr is conductor for the orchestra, and in the company are the following special artists:
VOL. VI. No. 2.
Second Violins—L. Rosentoff, principal; K. Metz, J. F. Zimmerschied, W. S. Rose, H. Peterson, P. M. Urga, J. W. Mendro, J. L. Kilne.
First Violins—Z. T. Hullett, concert master; H. Schmidt, J. Maurer, L. Buch,
H. W. Sinn, S. Ossier, H. Hoffman, G.
H. Linck.

The concert will be at the same time classical and popular. Among the numbers rendered will be Mendelsohn's overture, "Ruy Blas" Beethoven's symphony, "Eroica" selections from Lund, Stange, Delibes, and the magnificent "Tannhauser," which so moved the audience at the Grand opera house in Kansas City.
"GRANDMA GRIFF" WRITES.
University People Cear Hullmant. G.B. Penny, C.A. Preyer and Miss Wilson went to Kansas City Tuesday to hear Felix Alexandre Guillant. A great number of music lovers of Lawrence should have taken advantage of the rare opportunity of hearing the finest organist in the world.
To those who have not heard the concert nothing can describe it. It is endorsed and recommended by every musician of ability in Lawrence. It is a concert which will appeal to every one of even the most moderate musical taste. It is absolutely guaranteed. The orchestra is Kansas City's pride. Audiences grow enthusiastic at every concert given at the Coates or at the Grand opera house. It will be the musical event of years for Lawrence. Fortunately a large audience is already assured, an indication that Lawrence people do appreciate high class attractions. To students tickets have been placed at the low price of 50c, within the reach of all. The chart will open Wednesday morning at 8 o'clock at the Santa Fe city ticket office.
Gullman has been the organist at "La Trinite" Paris, since 71. It will be remembered that Mr. Penny played Gullman's "Third Sonata in C Minor" at the first pipe organ concert.
University People Hear Guilmant.

The Following is an Extract from a Letter From Walter Griffin, Who Is Now Attending the Law School of Leand Stanford.
"I am getting along very nicely with my school work here, at least so far as I am able to judge; for we have no quizzes or examinations until the end of the year; then they give us two solid weeks in which to tell all that we have forgotten or neglected to know during the year. Am very well pleased with the school here, and with the instructors; but do not think that, on the whole, it has any advantages over Uncle Jimmy's department of K. U. The requirements for admission to the law department here are the same as to the arts; and the percentage of university graduates in the law department is much greater than in K. U.—about 80 per cent.—but I doubt if the general average of common sense and general information is any higher. The people here—not excepting the students and even university professors—have such very distorted and exaggerated ideas of their own significance; or, I might more properly add, insignificance, that they have not yet discovered that all the centers of civilization and the universe are not located in San Francisco. They imagine that the sun rises just over the Sierra and sets only a little way beyond the Cliff House. The natives here have been sadly misled by the adorations of admiring visitors, and have appropriated unto themselves all of the compliments intended for fair nature. They possess an inexcusable amount of self esteem, and are not in the least averse to expressing it on the least provocation.
"The people of the State of California have built a Chinese wall around their educational and commercial interests; and, as Mr. Gleed once said in an opening address at K. U., they have gazed for so long and so constantly upon the small point of their own achievements that they have become well nigh stone blind.
"But the groundless conceit of the natives is not the only drawback to San Francisco. The effects of this unprogressive nature is evidenced in her institutions, as for instance her parks and streets. If nature had not provided her with some natural advantages for parks and pleasure resorts it is difficult to imagine what might be her condition today.
"And her struts would be a disgrace to Central or Western Kansas for a country lane. Imagine the billiest part of Kansas City paved with old cobble stones that would puzzle a Rocky mountain goat to climb over and you have a tolerably fair description of the San Francisco. She is not although unlike Lawrence in this respect; except that the one in a case of misfortune and the other a case of conferance."

The Present Condition of the Kansas University Oratorical Association and Lack of Interest in Oratory Causes Much Discussion
Should Kansas University withdraw from the State Oratorical Association? This question has been agitated before but never until now it been so thoroughly discussed.
That there is a Kansas University Oratorical association is news to a large majority of Kansas University students. In fact, little more than its name exists. Tradition has it that members are those who hold dollar shares. There were contestants in the preliminary contest this year who never had the experience of joining any such organization. It is a shame but nevertheless true that the contestants who gave valuable time and hard labor in preparing good orations for the contest were obliged to pay all the expenses incurred. They had to have the contest free and to have bills struck advertising it or else they would have spoken to empty chairs as the contestors did last year.
Hilliard Johnson suggests that an oratorical association similar to the Athletic association be formed. By this plan dues, not to exceed 50 cents, payable at the beginning of each year are to provide funds sufficient to pay all of the expenses of the association. The contests are to be free. Only those who have paid dues are to have the right to vote in the association. Mr. Johnson said to a WEBKLY reporter, "We should start right away to form an organization and if we can not get enough funds to pay our debts and establish a good financial standing we should withdraw from the state association. At present students will not pay 5 cents to hear an oration contest. The only possible thing to do is to organize or withdraw. The present condition is positively not endurable."
Chancellor Snow when seen by a WEEKLY reporter said, "When we undertake to do anything we must do it well." Judging by the increasing interest in literary societies it seems quite possible to have enough enthusiasm as磨 to form a strong oatirical association and to secure the competition of the best men in the University."
Prof. Hopkins, when asked what he thought should be done with oratory at Kansas University said, "I would like to see an organization formed which would unite the forces of debate and oratory. We might put all our strength in debate for awhile until we get hungry for oratory, but I would like to see the contest in oratory continue."
Prof. Dunlap said that he would be greatly chagrined to see oratory dropped at Kansas University.
Prof. Blackmar, when seen by a reporter for the WEEKLY, said: "I would favor withdrawing from the State Oratorical as sociation. I think oratory could be developed in the ways that would be more advenant to the University."
B. B. McCall said to a WEEKLY reporter, 'The time has come when something must be done. The Kansas University Oratorical association has been running in debt for years. There are outstanding debts du delegate sent to Toweka two years ago. If the matter drags along this way, oratory is not going to be aided. Two reasons may be offered in favor of withdrawing from the State association. First, we are not able to make our local association a financial success; second, from the nature of our institution the spirit of oratory is such that on an average it seems impossible for the University to take a high standing in the state contest. Unless a chair of oratory be established and a different spirit aroused, we are not properly advertising the University by being in the association.
The student body seems to be more interested in the debate than in oratory. It appears at present that by another year there will be a debating association formed whereby we will be enabled to compete with schools of our own standing."
Frand Swett, president of the Kansas University Oratorical association said, "We have not contracted any debts during this regime for we knew that there would not be any way to pay them. We have been forced to disregard the constitution of the association and to have the delegates

"What is your opinion of oratory at the University?"
The registrar, Geo. O. Foster, was seen by a reporter.
"What would you suggest?"
"I consider oratory at Kansas university on the up grade. I have been more or less interested in the University oratorical work since 1891. I must confess that it has not always been of a high standard: in fact the University interests have never been very much advanced by it. I believe, however, from the comments that I have heard from our recent contest, that the friends of Kansas University oratory, have grounds for much encouragement. There seems to be a bright future for the work, providing certain steps are taken to advance its interests."
"In the first place, I would suggest a re-organization of the present oratorical association. It is not so conducted as to appeal to the student body. This may account in a measure for the lack of interest in its work. It should be organized upon a broader basis, something after the pattern of the Athletic association. The membership fee should not exceed 50 cents and every student in the University should be eligible."
"Do you think there are any strong arguments against the continuation of the association at Kansas University?"
Yes, there is of course some argument that might be considered weighty. But let us look at the argument. Because its history is not illustrious it does not strike me as being any good reason for no further effort in oratory. The failures of the pass do not mean that we shall necessarily fail in the future. It strikes me too that we should have an association even if we do not win. Our students need the training, not the prizes. The argument has been advanced that the University is too big, that too many of the students are doing scientific work to have an interest in oratory. I have carefully gone over the names of our 950 students and find that ninety-two are doing strictly scientific work, not counting those of our thirty-seven post graduates who are specializing. I cannot give the exact number, but many Kansas University students are studying for the ministry. Then we have 168 law students, whose life work requires oratorical training. There is weight in the argument that the faculty takes no interest in the work of the association. In order to have the greatest success there should be perfect cooperation of all students and faculty. Our department of Elocution and Oratory can, as it no doubt will, do much to create an interest in the work of the association.

There will be a joint meeting of the Young Women's and Young Men's Christian associations in University chapel Sunday afternoon, February 13th at 3 o'clock. The meeting will be led by Mr.A E Moody of Gardner. In as much as the city association is conducting evangelization meetings, Mr. Lewington, president of the city association, will keep seats in reserve for those wishing to attend both meetings. It will be gratifying to both associations to see a large number of students present.

--colleges of a whole state in oratory, if anything can be an incentive. It is all very proper for us to confine our debates to Universities of our own size, for in a debate but two sides can be represented. Where a dozen institutions can be represented as in oratory the present arrangement is more feasible and desirable from an oratorical and financial point than any other that could be devised. If we are to continue our efforts in oratory let us by all means continue in the association and instead of busying ourselves as to how account for our continued defeat by smaller and weaker colleges, get to work in dead earnest to go in and win.
Might still makes right in some quarters of the highly cultured east. The University of Pennsylvania Freshmen will test their right to adopt and smoke class pipes by a tug of war with the Soops.
The announcement that the Symphony orchestra of Kansas City will give a concert here next Friday afternoon is a piece of news which should make glad the heart of every music lover in the University. This concert will undoubtedly be the greatest musical treat of the year and it is to be hoped the hall will be filled to overflowing.
It is announced that Fred Funston will give his first lecture on Cuba here at the University. This is not only a piece of good fortune for the University but it insures Col Funston for his initial lecture an audience more friendly and appreciative, at least more demonstratively so, than could be found elsewhere. No audience so delights to honor a public speaker as a crowd of college boys gathered to cheer on alumnus of whom their university is proud.
That the University of Kansas is proud of Fred Funston goes without saying. He is just now our most talked of and at all times our most unique alumnus. Nor is this the first time Col Funston has been before the public. His trip through the Death Valley of California some years ago gave evidence of his endurance and pluck, while his explorations in Alaska made alone at great hazard of his life across an uninhabited and unexplored portion of our dominions have been of great educational value.
These adventures and his recent exploit in Cuba not only surround his life with a setting of enchanting romance but make him as a man to be depended upon. The WEEKLY prophecies for Col. Funston a successful lecture tour and promises him a hearty welcome when he makes his apin Lawrence.
Certain discussions are perennial. With the customary kick on term grades, and the usual twaddle on social dissipation just preceding the Lenten season, comes always the ever-returning question of withdraw from the Oratorical association. If it is wished to stifle what little interest in oratory has already manifested itself here then by all means withdraw.
If it is thought wise to still further foster orateur at K U. then let us stay in the Association. The oft-proposed plan of an Oratorical association between State Universities to take the place of the present arrangement is but idle talk.
The present includes the inter-state feature as well as the state contest. Because our representative never reaches the inter-state is not the fault of the system but ourselves. There ought to be enough incentive for work in the possibility of representing the
The 'Varsity "K."
The proposed amendment to the constitution of the Athletic Association providing for the awarding a "K" to members of Varsity teams, and restricting the right to wear University colors on the sweaters to members of teams and substitutes is a step which should have been taken long ago. Such graceful little marks of honor for our athletic representatives have been too long absent from our college life. The student body at large has been generous with cheers, prodigal with bonfires, but any official recognition in the way of individual trophies has been lacking. Of late years the Athletic Association has even failed to keep a list of records made at the annual field meet. It is extremely doubtful, too, if a complete file of the members of Varsity football and base ball teams of years past could be found.
All this should be remedied. While the spirit of vain-glory should not be catered to, the opposite evil of total absence of substantial appreciation of effort must be avoided. Nothing will prove a greater incentive to work for the athlete than the simple 'Varsity K' on his sweater.
This matter should not stop here, however. Debaters and orators should also be awarded trophi s of a substantial character, which may be preserved as a memory, not only of former forensic success, but of their college's gratitude. As it is now, a three-line paragraph in the daily press, a half a column in the WEEKLY, and the passing remembrance of friendly hand shakes are all the University's representatives in inter-legiate contests of brain and muscle have to show for weeks and months of faithful physical or mental train g.
AN EDUCATIONAL MEE ING.
Mr. Philip Knollton's Plan for Qn3
Mr. Philip Knollton who furnishes the patent outsides for educational papers of twelve counties in Kansas was at the University this week in the interest of a plan which, if successful, will give all the people of Kansas an educational monthly. The State University, State Agricultural College, and State Normal School are each asked to furnish two columns every month for the publication. The advertisements are to be such as to permit the paper to circulate free.
Chancellor Snow was seen by a WERKL reporter. He said, "If material is adapted to suit men of average education such a paper would be a good thing. It would bring the state institutions in contact with the people. We receive a great many inquiries about the courses of study at the University. Country people do not even know that tuition is free. We publish ten thousand catalogues yet they reach not more than six thousand families. With such an educational paper we could reach one hundred thousand families within six months."

Affirmative—Messrs. Towerer and Foulks.
Negative—Messrs. Kritzinger Reeder.
The attendance at the Adelphic is always small, and it is only the active members that keep it alive. It would seem that since the number of poor speakers in the University is so large, the attendance and interest in literary societies would be greater.
BOOKS AND THINGS
Carruth's William Tell.
Instead of making chapel attendance compulsory would it not be a good thing to oblige the students to attend some literary society in a certain period.
Plants, cut flowers and floral decorations. Luther Green Houses, south Mass, street.
The department of entomology has just issued a bulletin on scale insects injurious to orchards. Special mention is made of the San Jose scale. There are 10,000 copies.
A recent work of wide and accurate scholarship from the University of Kansas should be noted. This is Prof. Carruth's edition of Schiller's "William Tell" with introduction and notes. That this work was solicited from Prof. Carruth by Macmillan and Co., in face of the fact that there are already American college editions galore of this classic, speaks well for the edito s reutation among publishers. The preparation of a college edition of a German classic involves much more both of originality and labor than the casual reader of such a work might suppose. It means a thorough research into the sources of the work, literary and historical, into the history of its composition; reviews of criticisms contemporary with the work and later, investigation of texts, and finally, the exercise of critical judgment as to the passages demanding annotation and as to the interpretation of difficult lines. All these points and others have been adequately covered in Prof. Carruth's sixty pages of introduction, and fifty pages of notes. The new work will strengthen the editor's reputation in this field of scholarship already well established by his "Wallenstein" of 1894, (Holt and Co.)
The "Tell" is a neat piece of book-making, with good illustrations.
The University Quarterly
The rumor that the regents intend to cut down expenses at the University has caused considerable anxiety among the professors for fear that the first cut shall fall upon the Kansas University Quarterly and that publication be suppressed.
Professor Wagner was seen by a Weekly reporter, and when asked what he thought of the possible suppression of the Quarterly he said: "I hardly anticipate an action of this kind by the regents. The amount appropriated for the maintenance of this publication is but $600, and that amount of money is hardy ever entirely consumed." The only expense of the magazine is that of the mechanical work, all the contributions he furnished by professors and friends of the University. Exchanges are sent to all parts of the United States, and to institutions of learning throughout all Europe. In return for these we receive scientific journals and bound volumes. The subscription price of the journals received ranges from $1 to $30 per annum, and the value of the books we receive in return for our publication can hardly be estimated. The other day I counted up thirty volumes we had received of late, among which was one with a cost of $11. It is difficult to estimate the value of our exchanges. I am able only to state it approximately. It was estimated at $1,000 per annum about six months ago, and since then a large number of valuable additions have been made to our list. Present prospects are very flattering, and lead me to hope that by the end of the year we shall have added a hundred more. Each one of the new exchanges adds but little cost to the Quarterly, but makes the value of the investment so much greater. The exchanges received give the latest discoveries in science and are of vital importance to our professors and students. If they were not received in exchange, the state would be obliged to purchase them. Furthermore, this publication gives a national and international reputation to our school.
FOOT-BALL GOS3IP.
Gossip as to next year's football team is already in the air. The University council at its session last Thursday, confirmed the selection of Dr. Woodruff as coach for next season made some time ago by the athletic board.
Dr. Woodruff to Coach in'98.
Rumors of material are rife. Sam Usher, the most constant, faithful, all-the-year-round football "fan" in the United States, has a number of men in training now. Among them are Simpson who played substitute end this year, and put up a fine game in the second Medic game at Kansas City; Buzzi, who played substitute on the other end; Avery and Blockberger, tackles; McKay, substitute fullback; Wheeler, who the knowing ones say will make center next year, and Buttomer, who played wayback on this year's team, and is slated for the same position next year. Sam says as far as material is concerned, the outlook for next year is fine, and he thinks we will have a "crackerjack."
It is also rumored that Bain, our great Indian half-back of 96, who has been teaching school this winter, will be in law school again this fall, and that "Shorty" Hamill, the "hole maker," captain of the 96 team, whose attack of typhoid, left him too weak to get out on the field for this season, will be in the school another year.
The Young Woman's Christian Association and their friends were very pleasantly entertained at the home of Miss Lut her Saturday evening. A word contest, the guessing of drawings upon a blackboard, music and light refreshments all contributed to the success of the evening.

On Friday evening, February 11, the young women of the Kappa Alpha Theta fraternity entertained about 150 guests. The hostesses were assisted in receiving by Mrs. C. E. Learnard, Mrs. J. L.Shellabarger of Topeka, Mrs. Waterman Stone, and Mrs. Samuel Wallace Moore of Kansas City. Rarely has Pythian hall had such a festive look as upon this occasion. The hall was hung in colors of all the Greek societies represented in the University. Each corner of the room was decorated in some unique way, one with oriental hangings and rugs, one was screened off with palms and one contained the punch bowl. The north wall of the room was hung with a great American flag and the red, white and blue color effect was further carried out by the couches and pillows on that side.
The programs were original in design
being ornamented with a facsimile of the fraternity pin and tied with ribbons representing the colors of all the fraternities. Dancing was to the strains of Zeller's orchestra. Throughout the evening refreshments consisting of chicken, sandwiches and coffee were served in the balcony.

BASEBALL.
GREAT INTEREST MANIFESTED BY
BOTH PROFESSORS AND STUDENTS
Manager Snyder Has Arranged a Series of Games With Bsker, Ottawa and Washburn
When the schoolboy got out his stock of marbles and began playing on the street corner the student smiled knowingly and said "an early spring," when the肘 and canvas-back appeared in flights last week from the south, his countenance beamed; when the "rainy day" costume of the comely university maiden became a permanent thing this week, he said, "Surely the goddess of spring has smiled upon us;" but now when the baseball enthusiast has awakened from his lethargy and shaken off the musty book lore of a winter's settling, doubt no longer remains to him—he is assured, the groundbog notwithstanding.
Baseball is a subject which seems to strike a responsive chord in the hearts of all Kansas University students. The "Profs" are talking about it, the girls are enthusiastic over it, the boys are shouting it, and Sam Usher's dog is barking it.
Everywhere on the campus the old players are buttonholed and asked as to the prospects of the team for the coming season, and here and there in the halls may be seen a genuine baseball "fan" relating interesting reminiscences to a crowd about him of plays and players that have figured on the K. U. diamond in years past.
A meeting of all men interested in base ball was called for Tuesday noon, Feb. 8, in room 11, Frazer hall. The meeting was the first held in the interests of baseball this spring, and was the preliminary opening of what promises to be a lively season in this branch of our college athletics.
The object was the registration of the various candidates for their respective positions. Although no field practice will be indulged in before the first or second week in March, candidates for the batteries will go into training at once under the direction of Dale Gear.
Speaking of the material for a team Capt. Curry said, "There are more than double the number of candidates this year than last, and some are experienced players from other colleges. Of course all the new men will not show up as 'phenoms' as their fellow freshmen from the same preparatory school would make us believe, yet with three-fourths of our crack team of last year still in school, I predict even greater victories this year than in '07.
Manager Snyder is working diligently in his efforts for the re-organization of the Triangular League. It is the intention, however, to include Ottawa in the league about to be formed and make the league quadrangular.
At a meeting held in the Eldridge house Saturday February 5, at which the four Universities, Kansas, Washburn, and Ottawa were represented, a constitution was drawn up which it is expected will be ratified by the association of each college during the present week. The following schedule of games was also agreed upon to be effective in case the constitution is adopted: Washburn vs. Ottawa, April 18; at Ottawa; Washburn vs. Baker, April 19; at Baldwin; Baker vs. Kansas university, April 22; at Lawrence; Ottawa vs. Kansas university, April 25; at Ottawa; Washburn vs. Kansas university, May 7; at Lawrence; Washburn vs. Ottawa, May 13; at Topela; Baker vs Kansas university, May 9; at Baldwin; Ottawa vs. Kansas university, May 14; at Lawrence; Washburn vs. Kansas university, May 21; at Topela.
When asked concerning the outlook
PAPER BY THE POUND
J. S BOUGHTON'S Under City Library.
Referring to dates for games with some of the neighboring state universities. Mr. Snyder said that he was in communication with the Universities of Nebraska and Missouri, and assured a reporter for the WEEKLY that he would have something of interest to announce to the baseball 'fans' in a few days.
Manager Snyder said: "I believe the league is now practically assured and it behoves our boys to get to work and get in the game early. Washburn had an excellent team last year and Ottawa has always ranked high in baseball. Baker is somewhat of an unknown quantity, but in past years I understand there never was a time when she didn't give K. U. a tussle.
"The students and faculty have been very generous in their contributions to the baseball fund and we have engaged the rink for the opening practice."
This issue of the WEEKLY was delayed on account of the illness of the editor-in-chief.
Dr. J, P. Lewis, of Topeka, visited his daughter Olive last week.
Miss Brantner, a music student, has also entered the painting class.
Arthur Jackson and Hilliard Johnson spent Sunday in Topeka.

"OTEER SIDE" OF CORFORATIONS
Hon. J W. Gleed Lectures Before the Historical Seminary.
Hon J. W. Gleed of Topeka, addressed the Economic Seminary Tuesday afternoon on "The Other Side of Corporations." His address was lively and interesting throughout, and was heard by an appreciative audience. It follows in substance:
It is not necessary to travel to foreign countries to hear corporations denounced. Many newspapers and politicians devote themselves almost exclusively to this practice. Corporations are called barrens, and their manipulators, fixers. A corporation has been defined as an artificial being opposed to the welfare of the people—a definition calculated to strike terror to the hearts of the bravest. They are called factitious, soulless, immortal, intangible. They are not soulless, not preurnatural, but entirely human. Men are not debodied or desuled by being associated with a corporation. Society felt the need of corporations; they were thought to be minutes of progress, and thus came into being.
The difference between a corporation and a partnership is that one is excluded from probate interference. Limiting of liability cannot be considered unwise. One man is not able to do a great deal, but the ability and responsibility of a hundred or more men associated as one is very great. This is what society needs. Those who do not complain against corporations are their creditors because they know they are secure. Corporations know that a broken promise is a loss to themselves and the public. They fear public sentiment. Owing to the size and necessary openness of their business they cannot conceal misdealings. They are required to make frequent reports and undergo examinations by government officials. A man is not apt to deceive, when working with an association of men, as he would be when working for himself.
The death of the head of some private concern often necessitates an entire change. The death of a partner in a corporation merely means that his share will descend to some other person, the change not in the least affecting the remainder of the associated man.
The cry about the immortality of corporations is mere delusion. There have been 20,000 of them formed in Kansas since it became a state, and there are not a thousand in existence at present.
Two men as partners do not yield anything to public or state, while two men united in a corporation must yield much. A partnership may do anything that the law does not prohibit. A corporation may do only what the law provides. A partnership may buy and sell as much as it wishes, and change the line of its business. A corporation cannot. It is not given powers without limitations or restrictions. By incorporating themselves, men submit to numerous restrictions which they would otherwise not have to endure.
The idea of giving land to railroads was decreed because the people claimed it deprived them of their birthright. The Santa Fe railroad rendered value to Kansas land. The people now have the land
The state has granted the right of eminent domain to some corporations. The courts did this as a sort of reward for the restrictions which they had placed. It was not done at the request of the corporations, but at the express wish of the people. The right of eminent domain gave nothing to the corporation nor took anything from the people.

and it is worth many times its former value.
The difference between corporations and trusts lies in the size of their business. They are fundamentally the same. A hand laborer uses tools; single capitalists employ a number of trainmen, each one of whom has his line of work. A corporation does the same, but on a larger scale. Trusts are merely associations of corporations.
The world demands articles cheap A large amount of capital can buy things cheaper and thus satisfy the demands of the people.
A corporation cannot be formed of people who have not confidence and skill.
The last fifty years have been most fruitful. Cooperation has made nature yield to the desires of men.
As an example of the formation of a corporation—Suppose that there were 100 men in a town who had $1,000 each that they would like to lend, but could not find perfectly secure borrowers. If they lost on the loan, they would lose all. Now suppose all these men united their money and formed a bank, by the law of average, on all their loans they would be comparatively secure, and each loss would be shared by all.
It is not the corporations that are hatred. but wealth. Some people think that corporations are capitalists cooperating to prevent competition.
Forty years ago, transportation between St. Louis and Denver was done exclusively by oxen. Then came corporations, which overwreth all competition at first. Then came another and another railroad, each one cutting prices, until there is as much competition as there was formerly between the freightmen. In the improvement in cotton manufacture one traces a like competition, with the result that higher wages are paid, more workmen employed and the product cheaper. In all good there must be some evil, as the case with the Standard Oil company, which on account of its enormous scope is able to destroy all competition. But in this case the product has declined 75 per cent in price in the last thirty years. In the same way we see the reduction of telegraph toll, etc. In conclusion Mr. Gleed said that, a corporation, which would successfully reclaim by some irrigation process the arid lands of Kansas could only be considered a benefactor of the state.

NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS
And Subscribers for the Weekly.
On taking charge of the WEEKLY, the new management finds that the paper being regularly sent to many people whose subscriptions have expired. We desire to call especial attention to the fact that subscriptions, as well as share of stock, are payable in advance. We do not doubt but that every Kansas University student and ex-student is loyal enough to his Alma Mater and to the WEEKLY to pay up his subscription when his attention is called to the fact that it has expired. Believing that the WEEKLY's subscribers will do this we shall next week mark the papers directed to those persons whose subscriptions have expired, in such a way that their attention will be called to the fact. Should anyone in Lawrence be disloyal enough to refuse or neglect to have his subscription paid in advance by the next Saturday his name will be taken from the mailing list. Should any out of the city subscribers so neglect or refuse to settle his subscription account within two weeks his name will likewise be taken from the mailing list. Subscriptions may be paid to J. O. Hall, managing editor or to Frank P. Pratt, assistant, or at the WEEKLY office. Subscribers living outside the city will please address J. O. Hall, Managing Editor, Lawrence, Kan.
TEN YEARS LATER.

Phil Knowiton, of the Newton Kansan Talks Entertainingly of Changes
On Mount Oread.
Phil Knowlton, who was in the University just ten years ago, was on the hill Monday morning. When seen by a WEEKLY reporter, and asked to give some impressions as to the changes ten years had affected at the University, Mr. Knowlton said:
"I notice a big improvement in many things. The first thing that struck me was the improvement in the looks of the grounds. Then that pipe organ is a great thing. It completely transforms the looks of the chapel, and marks a great advance in the aesthetic life of the University.
As for changes in the student life, it seems to me that the students are more in harmony among themselves. When I was here we were continually engaged in factional fights. So much so in fact that if a man took any part in college politics he hardly had time to do the work. There seems now to be more interest in college work itself and less attention given factional broils and squabbles.
"One thing must absolutely be admitted and that is that the prejudice against the University formally existing all over the state is very nearly gone. The notion once prevalent, that this is essentially a rich man's school is being overcome. Few people advocate this idea any more and that fact is helping the school."
Mr. Knowlton is now editor and proprietor of the Newton Evening Kansan and stopped here for a few days on his way to Port Arthur.

From these statistics it will be seen that of 15,085 men named, 5,279 are college men, slightly more than one third. The number of graduates of American colleges from the beginning until the present time does not exceed 200,000. Of these, 5,000 have done such work as to deserve lasting remembrance. One man, therefore, in every forty graduating from college, has been successful, while taking as a basis the enormous number of men who have lived in this country since the beginning, we derive the statement that only one in every 10,000, not college graduates, has attained a like measure of success. According to this, the proportion is in favor of the college man, 230 times.—Wisconsin Cardinal.
SNOW LITERARY.
A good audience attended the session of the Snow society Friday night.
The first number, a selection by a quartet under the leadership of C. E. Shutt, was well rendered and much appreciated. The singers were enclosed and resumed very fittingly.
Then Miss Reed, secretary of the society gave a declaration which pleased all.
13A. C. Wheeler next delivered an oration entitled "Training of the Emotions." Mr. Wheeler seems to have oratorical ability both as to delivery and as regards thought and composition. His oration was complemented by the critic.
W. M. Kyser read a paper upon "Why we should attend the Snow Literary." He developed the idea that environments have a vast influence upon one. By attending the Snow we are placing ourselves under a good influence. The associates too are such that in the future we may point to them with pride when we remember that we labored with them in the best literary society in Kansas University. Furthermore we ought to show our magnanimity by giving our presence to the society.
The debate was upon the question as to whether or not monopolies were a benefit to society as a whole. The question was argued on the affirmative by V. D. Craig and A. Rundle and on the negative by C. R. Lander and Geo. Beach. The negative won the decision of the judges.
Dr. Williston, critic of the evening was then called upon and gave his report. He referred with pride to the fact that nearly thirty years ago, along with six other young men, he founded the Webster society of the State Agricultural college. He emphasized very strongly the benefits of the work in a literary society, and attributed whatever success in public speaking he may have had, almost exclusively to the training the above mentioned organization gave him. Though at times the doctor's criticisms were plain, they were all the better for being so, and were well taken. He was given a vote of thanks by the society in appreciation of the criticisms.
The interest as to the debate in general is very active in the Snow. A large number expect to enter the preliminaries for the inter-state debates, and the prizeddebate, an exclusively Snow affair, will also give an impetus too forensic contests.
The Robinson Bust will be Dedicated February 22nd.
The commission, consisting of B. W. Woodward, Mr. Charles Chadwick and Mrs. Robinson, which was appointed by Governor Leedy to secure a bust of ex-Gov. error Robinson, met Tuesday and inspected the bust received from the sculptor, Mr. Taft, of Chisago. The bust was satisfactory in every way and will be formally installed in University hall on Washington's birthday at 10:30 in the morning. Mr. Woodward will speak for the commission, Gov. Leedy for the state, and Chancellor Snow for the University. At this occasion Kansas University's orator, P. S. Elliott, will deliver his winning oration.

HIS FIRST LECTURE HERE.
Col. Fred Funston to Begin His Lecture
Tour at Lawrence
Col. Funston, like a true son of his alma mater, will give his initial lecture at the University.
Col. Fred Funston, late of the Cuban army, now of Iola, Kans, U. S. A., was in the city the first of the week, the guest of his old college friend, Prof. E. C. Franklin. Col. Funston, as every reader of the daily press knows, is on his way home to recuperate and recover from a severe wound. It is his intention as soon as his health will permit to take the lecture platform on the subject of Cuba. Col. Funston may be said to have seen all sides of life and to have experienced all climates. He has successfully passed through the fatal Death Valley of California, alone carried on a government exploration in northernmost Alaska, and has now finished a long term of service in the insurgent army in Cuba.
"The Masque" met Wednesday evening at the club house. After an address by Prof. Dunlap three new members were added to the list and two plays were chosen to be given sometime in the spring; "Money," and "As You Like It." were selected, the casts to be taken from the members who now number twenty-six. Miss Georgia Brown will conduct the presentation of the plays. Two committees were then appointed on finance consisting of Prof. Blackmar, Messrs, Harris and Cooper, and one on weekly programs, with Hilliard Johnson as chairman and Prof. Dunlap, Mr. Decker, Miss Dodge and Miss Gardner as the other members. The committee decided to have an "As You Like It" evening next week with Prof. Dunlap in charge Each member being prepared to enter into an informal discussion of the play.
The club have decided to improve the club house. The rooms will be papered and decorated under the direction of Miss Eva Brown.
Second Meeting of the "Masque."
The Betas enjoyed a spread last Saturday and Sunday. Late Saturday morning one of Wiedeman's wagons drove up to the chapter house on Tennessee street and unloaded a two-gallon can of ice. The driver was assured by Mrs, Street, the matron, that no ice had been ordered. The deliveryman, however, was so positive that he had come to the right place that the ice was finally left.
All that day the Betas feasted. Some carried dishes of ice to their rooms and ate and meditated in solitude; others were more sociable and took their saucers into the parlor, while the majority, it is asserted, grabbed long-handled spoons and stood guard over the can in the kitchen, at the same time zealously transferring the ice to their own stomachs. All the time the wonder grew as to who was the kind benefactor to whom they were indebted for the unexpected Saturday feast, until finally it was suggested that the ice was probably that left over from the Phi Psi party, the night before.
Betas Feast
Upon this discovery some of the boys, feeling hurt that one fraternity should so far forget the courtesy due another as to neglect to enclose its card in any gift, however acceptable, and send as it were an anonymous present, refused to eat any more. Others feared that it might be part of a jealous fraternity's plot, and searched the medical books for antedotes to every known poison. The majority, however, continued to hover with their long-handled spoons about the ice-packed bucket, unhurt by the breach of etiquet which failed to wish "many happy returns of the day" and unheeful of the suspicion that the frozen dainty was indeed composed of seductive and deadly drugs—till, in time, the can was empty.
Meanwhile the Phi Psis, at their chapter house on the hill, were wondering what had become of their ice. The Betas say the joke is on the Phi Psis, while the Phi Psis insist that the joke is on Wiedemann, so thus you have, at all odds, no joke on the Knights of the Long-Handled Spoon.

OUR BEST FRIEND.
FC SAYS CHANCELLOR SNOW OF GOVERNOR ROBINSON
WH SE BUST WILL BE UNVEIL FEB. 22
Governor Robinson's Service to the University —Program for the Dedication.
—Tributes by Chancellor Snow and Dr. Cordley.—Something About the Bus.
Next Tuesday morning will be devoted to the memory of one of Kansas' great men and the University's most liberal benefactor. On that day the bust of ex-Governor Charles Robinson will be unvailed and presented to the University. Mr. B. W. Woodward, chairman of the commission appointed by Governor Leedy to select the bust, will present the bust to the state. Governor Leedy on behalf of the state will respond to Mr. Woodward's presentation, and will in turn, present 'he bust to the University. Some member of the board of regents will accept on behalf of the University, and the finely chiseled bust of Charles Robinson will have been formerly unveiled and dedicated.
The students have not been neglected however, by those arranging the program. Mr. P. S. Elliott, who is going to win first place for Kansas at the Oratorial contest three days later, will deliver his oration on "Liberty and Law." And by the way, no better tribute to the life and memory of Dr. Robinson could be made than the theme of this oration. Throughout his life, Governor Robinson stood pre-eminently for "Liberty and Law." All through the bitter Kansas strife, in which Governor Robinson took such a leading part he was the champion of firm but conservative action. When other leaders, actuated by a spirit of bigoted partisanship and mutual hatred, would have determined every controversy by indiscriminate fire and blood-shed, Governor Robinson, while standing none the less strongly for liberty, stood as well for humanity. It was ever his attempt to replace anarchy by law and order, and to combat frenzied radicalism with what may be called an advanced conservatism. His services to the state secured his election as its first governor.
His services to the University were no less conspicuous. What and how valuable these services were, cannot be better described than in the words of Chancellor Snow. Just after Governor Robinson's death, the Chancellor, writing for the Student's Journal, took occasion to say in part:
"When the state had been freed from the slavery element and the time for war and bloodshed had ended, Gov. Robinson turned his attention to the more peaceful upbuilding of Kansas. He recognized at once that the greatest need was for schools, not primary and common schools alone, but for institutions which would afford future generations opportunities for high and liberal education. During the entire war struggle it seems that he never lost sight of a purpose, formed upon his first arrival in Kansas, of doing all in his power to found a university. The first mention of his name in connection with the University of Kansas is when Amos A. Lawrence, of Boston, employed him to commence the erection of a school building on Mount Oread. This building was begun on the sight of North College. Then Gov. Robinson was made one of the two trustees who were given charge of $10,000 by Mr. Lawrence to be held in trust for the "Lawrence University." Again he mentioned as one of the directors of a college of high grade, to be organized by the Presbyterian church. Next he is named as one of the trustees of the "Lawrence University" in a charter granted by the legislature in 1859. In 1863 the legislature voted to establish the State University at Lawrence providing the city would in addition to other requirements furnish forty acres of land to be used for a University campus. This the city could not have done had not Gov. Robinson come forward with the proposition to furnish the required amount of land. This tract of land forms the present campus. It is well here to note that twenty one acres of this land were secured by Mrs. Robinson, who always efficiently aided the Governor he
every undertaking.
The University was thus given a start. After considerable delay in arranging financial affairs satisfactorily, a charter was granted by the legislature for the government of the University. Gov. Robinson was appointed a member of the first Board of Regents. As a Regent he always took an active interest in University affairs. This interest he maintained until his death. In addition to this gift of the original campus Gov. Robinson has at various times, made other donations of almost equal value. The block of land lying along the westside of Oread avenue, between the campus and Hancock street, was given by him with the provision that Oread avenue be graded by the city. This the city failed to do and fearing lost some unforeseen occurrence might deprive the University of the ownership of the property, he gen erously donated it without condition Once more the growing institution was in need of land; this time for the purpose of laying out a field for the encouragement of physical exercises. Gov. Robinson appreciated the need, and as he always had done proved himself equal to the occasion. He presented the University with six of the twelve acres of land which now form the McCook athletic field. It was always his outspoken desire to see the University of Kansas take a front rank among the schools of the United States and the highest place among the universities of the west
The final application of his large estate to the maintenance of the University will do much to bring about the accomplishment of his life's chief desire. This disposition of his property makes clear to the people of Kansas into what channel the Governor himself would have desired their memorial of his distinguished life and services to be directed."
Dr. Cordley writing at the same time and for the same publication ends.
VOL VI. No.3.
"In no line has he served the state better than in his unwavering friendship for our University. It was through him that Amos A. Lawrence gave his first gift for the founding of a college at Lawrence. It was largely through his magnificent gift of land that the institution was located here. He has done more than any other one man in shaping its history and stimulating its progress, and at his death he crowns the work of his life by making the University the heir of his large estate.
I am glad to add this tribute to the memory of a great man, for I count Governor Robinson one of our great men. He will seem greater in the eyes of the next generation than he did in the eyes of his own time. I see an effort is being made to build a monument to his memory. The people of Kansas will honor themselves in honoring one who has done much for our state."
To a reporter for the WEEKLY Chancellor Snow re-iterated the statement made by him in the above quoted article. "Governor Robinson," said the Chancellor, "was the strongest friend the University of Kansas ever had. There is no doubt about that. Amos A. Lawrence and Charles Robinson were the principal benefactors of the University in the early days."
"The bust is the work of Mr. Lorado Taft of Chicago. The state appropriated $1000 for the bust and Mr. Taft agreed to accept this sum as his compensation. This is a very small sum for an artist of Mr. Taft's skill and reputation to accept for such a piece of work. Eastern sculptors would ask $4000 or $5000 for no better bust. The bust itself is one of dignity and strength and is quite a faithful representation of Governor Robinson. It represents him in modern dress, and in his everyday look and appearance. In this the sculptor has followed the modern dress, which does not drape a man in a toga, but represents him as he looked and was."
Mr. B. W. Woodward chairman of the commission, said of the bust when seen by a WEEKLY reporter:
Mrs. Robinson and Mr. Charles Chadwick were Mr. Woodward's associations on the commission. The exercises will be held in University chapel, Tuesday morning, February 23, at 10:30.

WHO STOLE THE QUESTIONS?
SENIOR LAW QUESTIONS TAMPERED WITH.
The Senior Law class did not take the examination in Torts Thursday afternoon. The questions were prepared by Judge Riggs, the boys had sat up for two nights with wet towels around their heads "craming" and were primed for the "quit," but when the class met Thursday morning, Judge Green announced that the examination would not be held in the afternoon.
Class and Professora Indignant—Who Is the Curitip?
The questions for examination in the Law department are printed on the printing press in the north wing of the Fraser hall basement. The questions in Torts were handed to the printer Wednesday night and the type set up Wednesday morning. Some time between 11 and 12 a.m. m.some one broke into the printing office through an unlocked window, took the ink roller, inked the type and took an impression. The thief then got rattled, hung up the roller in the wrong place and forgot to wash off the type. This negligence on his part let the cat out of the bag. The printer came back, saw that press had been tampered with and an impression taken. Profs. Green and Brownell were notified and the examination postponed until Judge Riggs could make out a new set of questions.
Prof. Brownell when seen by a WEEKLY reporter said:
"No, the examination did not take place." Then the professor added with a merry twinkle in his eye, "Some Art student must have stolen the question. The theft was a coarse job. If a Law student had done it, he would have done it cleanly and in a finished manner. No trail would have been left behind. He would have put the roller back in its proper place. He would have washed off t the type, too. It was clearly the work of some Art students who wished to put up a job on us."
The people who are sorest over the whole affair are the Senior Laws They finished Tortis over two months ago. Since that time they have been daily wishing the "exam" would be set for an early date. This delay put the examination off still further and besides will doublest result in a harder list of questions.
JIM KELSEY HERE
K. U's Popular Best Ball Player in Town
—He Saw the Kansas-Nebraska
Football Game.
James Cezanne Kelsey 95, K. U's greatest base ball captain, is here visiting his Phi Psi brethern. Mr. Kelsey who graduated from the Electrical Engineering school has had a very successful career. Upon graduation he secured the position of city electrician of Hiawatha, Mr. Kelsey's home town. In the fall of 96 the Fort Wayne Electrical company announced a competitive examination for the position of electrical expert. Mr. Kelsey took the examination and secured the position.
Mr. Kelsey, who superintending the construction of an electrical plant at Lancaster, Fenn, fell from the top of a forty foot pole. His thigh and arm were broken in two places. For seven weeks he was in the hospital.
Mr. Kelsey has been spending the last few months at his home in Hiwatatha, and incidentally constructing a number of rural telephone lines. He was at the Kansas-Nebraska football game last fall and was thoroughly disgusted with the outcome of the game. "If the second half had been played, Kansas would have won out without cuidt," said Kelsey, but those fellows up there didn't care to play a second half. I got separated from the Kansas contingent during the game and made myself highly unpopular with the crowd of Nebraska girls. I found myself among, by stoutly shouting for K. U. every time a play was made and by expressing my opinion of the unsportsmanlike tactics used by Nebraska to delay the game."
Mr. Kelsey was one of the most popular men of the University. He was particularly prominent in athletics, having been captain of the baseball team and president of the Athletic association. Jim Kelsey and Dale Gear formed a battery whose work will long remain a famous tradition in University athletic circles, and without cast

The Phi Gams Entertain.
About 200 invitations were sent out for the annual party of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity on Friday night at Pythian ball. There were a great many out of town guests, and the visiting Phi Gams helped to make this the largest reunion that Phi Gamma Delta has seen for years.
Pythian hall was very prettily decorated for the occasion, the principal decorations being evergreens and palms, which made an effective setting for the dainty party gowns of the girls. Evergreen ropes were hung from the center of the room to the four corners. In the east corner of the room were masses of daisies, charming against their green background. Lace hangings at the windows, couches and pillows helped to give the room a finished appearance. Under a canopy of evergreens surmounted by Phi Gam colors was the punch bowl which was gracefully presided over by Misses Annie Rohe and Marie Sinclair.
The programs had the shape of Phi Gamma Delta pins. They were small and tied with the fraternity colors, made very pretty souvenirs.
Music was furnished by Zeiler's orchestra of Kansas City.
Refreshments consisting of coffee and wafers were served throughout the evening in the balcony, which looked quite tropical dressed as it was in palms and greens.
Editors-Notice!
The editor-in-chief respectfully calls the attention of the staff to the fact that there is a WEEKLY bulletin board in Fraser ball.
Assignments and instructions as to the time of handing in copy were posted over two weeks ago. No notice whatever has been taken of these instructions. Notice of a meeting of the staff for Tuesday noon was also posted. Five members out of sixteen reported at the hour named.
This bulletin board must be watched by the staff and its instructions obeyed.
Debate Postponed.
The joint debate committee met February 11. It was decided to put off the final preliminary for the Missouri debate until two weeks before the inter-state. The debate was originally set for last night. This postponement will throw the preliminary into the middle of March.

Don't forget the oratorical contest
Friday night.
Give Mr. Elliott your support to the tallest of your lung power.
Students do your duty and be present Feb. 22, to honor the memory of Charles Robinson!
There are to be eight colleges represented at the oratorical contest Friday night. What place ought Konsas take?
Candidates for the base-ball team are working out at the Rink. Every confidence is reposed in Dale Gear who is coaching the men and a first class ball team is confidently expected. Meanwhile what are the track-men doing?
The University of Kansas is in all probability more indebted to ex-Governor Charles Robinson than any other public man. In appreciation of his services, to the state and the University, the legislature has gone to considerable expense to provide for a bust of the ex-governor to be placed in Fraser hall. The bust has been finished and accepted by the committee. The dedication has been fittingly set for February 22. It be hooves every member of the University to be present at these services.
Phi Beta Kappa Election
The WEEKLY extends its congratulations to the newly elected members of the Phi Beta Kappa. It is true, as it is often stated, that the value of an education is not to be determined solely by the grades received. It is time, also, that the college student must cultivate his body, and "keep his heart right," as well as dig for the hidden treasure of knowledge. It he would get the most out of his college associations and advantages. Yet while we are at college we are here primarily to study. The body and the soul can be as easily cultivated elsewhere. Human nature can be as well or better studied in commercial life, but book lore can be easiest and best attained at institutions of learning. These institutions are founded to afford facilities for study and research, and we are sent here to avail ourselves of the opportunities and privileges provided.
Since this is the case, there is a certain satisfaction in knowing that the work one has been sent here to do, has been done well. And this is all that an election to Phi Beta Kappa means. In itself it signifies nothing more and nothing less, yet the same faithful perseverance in the work that marks a man as one of the honor men in his class, argues well for his future career.
A Wise Postponement
The action of the joint debate committee in postponing the debate at which our representatives for the Missouri debate will be chosen, until two weeks before the final debate is to be commended. The same subject is debated at both the preliminary and the final, so it is unnecessary for the team to make themselves familiar with an entirely new subject between the two debates. On the other hand, under the rules followed, by which each speaker in the preliminary is kept in ignorance of his side till
the drawing by lot twenty-four hours before the contest, it is indispensable that each speaker should up to the last minute study the question as a whole and attempt to grasp the strength and weakness of both sides. The longer this two-sided study of the question is pursued, the more thoroughly does the contest become master of the subject.
In addition we want no mistake made in the choices of the debaters. The best men should win and such arrangements must be had as to insure that the best men will win
On the night of the preliminary every speaker must be at his best. The longer the time given for preparation, the better becomes the chance of the more thoughtful speaker and deeper student. It is by such men that the debate to be is woken rather than by the more eloquent but more superficial contestant; and every plan calculated to give us the strongest team and the best equipped men must be followed. Two weeks is ample time for the team to formulate their plan of attack and defense, while a longer period is often of positive detriment to both team and individual work.

Civil Engineering Society.
At the last meeting of the Civil Engineering society Dr. Willison delivered a lecture on the Pollution of River Water. This subject which has to do with the disposal of the sewage of cities and the refuse of large manufacturing establishments is one of considerable importance to engineers and consequently the lecture was fully appreciated by those present.
Dr. Williston confined his remarks to the condition of river water in the New England states since it is in these thickly populated districts that the sanitary and economic effects of Rivers pollution are becoming of vital importance to the inhabitants The engineers hope to hear from Dr. Williston again in the near future.
The fourth attraction on the lecture course was well attended Tuesday evening.
The singers appeared in the first part dressed in their native costume, and in the second part in stage costume.
The Welsh Prize Singers.
Among the individual singers, four were especially fine. Madam Miles-Beynon captivated her audience by her sweetness and fullness of tone.
Miss Beatrice Evans' voice was clear and sweet and her compass was very great.
The singing of the company in unison was good, each voice clear and distinct.
This attraction, as have all the others, highly pleased the audience.
Madam Annie Lewis was suffering from a severe cold, but the way which she rendered "Jeannett and Jeannott" and the encore was very satisfactory.
The accompanist executed her parts splendidly.
Sam Usher has a class of boys doing work in preparation for the indoor meet, at his infant gynasium on south Tennessee street. They all seem to like the work and Sam says he has some winners among them.
BOOKS AND THINGS
This week there came into our hands a little volume of short stories new from Appleton's press, called "The Mystery of Choice," done in a charming cover, showing a little stretch of the dunes and a glimpse of blue sea beyond, to indicate that the tales are of the coast. The name of the book, however, indicates nothing of the contents, and the contents furnish no clue to the title. "The Mystery of Choose" is not a psychological study, nor a problem book, but a collecti n of uncanny, morbid superstitions and ghost stories, mostly of Breton, not in the least worth reading, except perhaps the last story in the book, which tells how a queer old professor set his daughter and a young man on the beach to watch for a sea serpent which was reported to be coming that way. The monster was captured after a terrible struggle by the young man, who also laid siege to the girl's heart and captured it easily.
It is a matter of wonder to us that so many excuses for books are introduced to us in such beautifully artistic bindings. So that they will sell is the reason, of course. But often the binding is so much more worthy of praise than the book's contents, that bye and bye we will become as suspicious of what a pretty book contains as we often are of the seriousness behind a pretty face.
And still the book making goes on! The Publishers Weekly reports that during 1897 there has been an output of 3,170 volumes, of which 713 are fiction. And how few of this number the ordinary reader will ever see or hear of!
Changes in Athletic Association Con-
sultation - Meininger Harmonious.
AMENDMENTS CARRY.
At a meeting of the Athletic Association held in University hall Wednesday noon the "K" amendments were adopted with some slight alteration. The constitution as amended reads thus:
"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 baseball 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 inter-collegiate contest or who has broken a college record.
It shall be the duty of the coach and captain of said teams to hand in to the board of directors the names of the men entitled to the 'K.'
Each team to have a representative "K" to be adopted by the board, said "K" to remain the same from year to year.
The "Ks" should be awarded at the termination of each season, apart and distinct from any sweaters or uniforms 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 now or has been a member of the University.
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.
Provided that no "K" shall be awarded until a motion therefore shall have been made at a regular meeting and allowed to lie over for at least one week before action is taken.
An amendment was also voted to article VII as follows:
That in case of a vacancy on the board of directors occurring through resignation or otherwise that the board may elect to fill the vacancy,
An amendment was also voted to article VII as follows:
That the association appoint a compiler, whose duty it shall be to arrange a list of all authentic track athletic records of the University of Kansas.
Said compiler to hand in the list when completed to the secretary of the association who shall spread it on the minute book.
The following motion introduced by Captain Mosse was adopted:
A petition was approved to the effect that the gymnastium be available for athletic training for at least three days in the week and the secretary was instructed to circulate such a petition.
Captain Mosse was appointed compiler of the records.
The three "K's" were also adopted. They are about six inches square and the strips are an inch and one half wide. The football K is extremely plain, the base ball K having bars at the end of the strips, while the track team K is very fancy.
There has been some question as to what would constitute a championship game of base ball. Captain Curry when asked by a WEEKLY reporter concerning this question said he thought the board of directors of the Athletic association certainly had the power to designate the championship games as they had the right to award the "K's". He considered the games of the triangular league as about the only championship games which would be played this year.
SOCIETY
The party given Tuesday evening by the Barb young ladies to their friends was in every respect a very pretty, enjoyable affair. After the event of that evening it can not be said that the most important factor in University social circles is not the Barb young ladies. For the past four years, these annual parties have been growing in popularity, until this year, not only have all preceding parties of the kind been surpassed, but no former social event can claim superiority.
Barb Girls Entertain.
By the united efforts and artistic skill or the girls the hall was arranged and decorated in a most happy manner. Opposite the entrance was a large, carefully arranged bank of flowers. Chandeliers were hung with evergreen and smilax. The platforms were covered by sofas, divans and easy chairs, while numerous rugs lent acosy, homelike air. The corners at the east end of the room were arranged as "tete-a-tetes", the most inviting one being the one draped with the University colors. At the west end of the hall punch was served during the evening by Misses Lawton and Woodward. The national colors draped the front of the balcony where were placed sofas, chairs, and tables at which ices were served. This retreat for the dancers and reception room to visitors was made the more pleasing by piano lamps, palms and potted flowers. The dainty party gowns worn by the young ladies and the many flowers worn and carried by all gave to the party an elegance scarcely describable.
The music for the occasion was furnished by Bell's orchestra, and when at 9 o'clock the strains of the Grand March sounded about fifty couple stepped forth to its music. The march was led by Miss Eugenia Piatt and Mr Sweezy; programs were given out by Misses Pampel and Trout. The programs, pretty things, were tied with the University red and blue. On the front of the program was a K. S. U monogram in the same colors and inside was printed "The Barbs, February 15, 1898."
So quickly did the evening pass and so happy did it leave everyone, that one is almost tempted to declare that music, dancing and merriment, are so indisolubly bound together, that one of them can not be, and be enjoyed unless accompanied by the others.
The different fraternities of the university were honored by invited representatives. Among the out of town guests were Miss Chamberlain of Olathe, Miss Gary of Winfield, and Measrs. Kelsey of Kansas City, Stickel of Topela, Pampel of Centrala, and Smith of Hutchinson.
It is announced that several of the fraternities are arranging to give box parties at the Glee club concert.
A Student Dies in His Chair.
Just as it is time for the WEEKLY to go to press it is learned that Mr. A. C. Mead was this morning found dead in his chair. Mr. Mead has been afflicted with heart trouble for several years. This was his second year in the University.
AMONG THE COLLEGES.
Representatives of the large universities are meeting at the University athletic club in New York today for the purpose of revising football rules. Harvard, Puncheon, Yale, Cornell and Pennsylvania are represented.

AMUSEMENTS.
LEWIS MORRISON.
Mr. Lewis Morrison will appear at the Bowersock opera house Thursday, February 24, and the announcement will be sufficient to create more than a passing ripple among theatre goers of this city. Lewis Morrison's name has been a household word for many years, due to the fact, no doubt, that he has been associated with only that which is the best in theatricals, and his high standing as an artist. Mr. Morrison has always been a staunch favorite in this city, and his productions of the past are a guarantee of excellence of that which is to follow. As an artist Mr. Morrison ranks among the few great actors of this country. When it is announced that in this engagement he will present a new play for popular approval we may take it then for granted that it will be well worthy of patronage. "The Master of Ceremonies" is the play with which he will make his re-appearance.
The play tells a strong and pathetic story of paternal love and a daughter's devotion. The role of Stuart Denville, "The Master of Ceremonies," with his pitiful family pride and consequent punishment gives to Mr. Lewis Morrison the opportunity to show what a remarkable versatile and scholarly actor he is. His support is admirable, and is headed of course by that very handsome and talented young lady, Miss Florence Roberts. The scenery and costumes have been furnished with a lavish hand, and it is with no fear of contradiction that the management announces that for magnificence it will be excelled by no other production seen upon the boards of the local theatre this season.
Pipe Organ Recital.
Seats on sale Wednesday morning
The second of the pipe organ recitals took place in the University chapel Wednesday afternoon at 5 o'clock. In many respects it was better than the first one which was held two weeks ago. Prof. Penny was assisted by Mr. Thomas H. Gilbert who has been studying voice for three years under Prof. Penny and Prof Farrel. His number entitled "Cujus Animom" was a difficult selection to render artistically and considering this Mr. Gilbert did very well. The first organ selection was one calculated to please any audience and it certainly pleased the small audience present. Although not light in the sense of "popular" it possessed that degree of briskness and delicacy that is very pleasing to a popular audience. The second selection, a prayer by Alexander Guilmont, was very artistically played and with much expression. The other numbers in the first part were of the same general style. The final numbers were of a more brilliant order. The stoccatto effects which were brought were very pleasing and added life to the selections. The program was headed "Echoes from the church of Paris." The next one which will occur two weeks from Wednesday will also come under the same head

THREE DELEGATFS FROM KANSAS
To Student Volunteer Convention at Cleveland
At the meeting of the cabinets of the two Christian associations Wednesday at 12 o'clock, Mr. C. E. Teas and Misses Radford and Leas were elected as delegates to represent the associations of the University and Christian Endeavor societies of the city at the Cleveland conference of Student Volunteers, Feb. 24-27 inclusive.
Present indications are that this will be not only the largest missionary gathering ever held in the American world, but also that it will be the largest university gathering ever brought together. It will be attended not only by leading students of the universities and colleges of the United States and Canada, but by most prominent religious leaders of all the denominations, both in this and other countries. A little history of the organization might be interesting:
The movement is an inter-denominational missionary agency of twelve years standing, having more than 700 institutions of higher learning both in the United States and Canada, as its field. It works in cooperation with the regular mission boards. Through its efforts hundreds of missionaries have been furnished the boards, and are now laboring upon mission fields.
Among its objects are:
1. To enlist the students in the college and theological seminaries in prayer and labor for the proclamation of the gospel throughout the world.
2. To enroll students in the institutions who may go in time to take up this definite work.
3. To inform through the educational classes along this line, students at large of this important work.
The coming convention will be intercollegiate and inter-denominational. Representatives of all great evangelical denomination, students, missionaries, editors and religious journals, clergymen, professors, mission board secretaries, national and state leaders of young people's societies will be present. Fifteen hundred delegates will be entertained. Among the hundred speakers the following are prominent: Hon. James A. Beaver, Judge of the Superior Court cf Pennsylvania; Francis E Clarke, D. D., President of the United Society C. E; President Charles Cuthbert Hall, New York; S. M Sayford, Boston, and Robert E. Speer.
Among some of the features of the convention may be mentioned: 1. Missionary addresses by some of the strongest missionary speakers of North America and other lands. These addresses will set forth the conditions and needs of the world today. 2. Discussions—A portion of each day will be devoted to a thorough consideration of questions concerning the volunteer, the promotion and fostering of missionary interest among students, and the financial problem of the missionary enterprise. 3. Section conferences—One afternoon will be devoted to simultaneous conferences on phases of missionary work, for example, evangelistic, educational, medical; another afternoon to mission fields. Each of these conferences will have its own chairman and officers, and will have a special program. 4. Addresses and exercises for the deepening of the spiritual life will be given a prominent place of the program of this convention. 5. Interviews—There will be given abundant opportunity for students to meet personally missionaries, board secretaries, and other leading workers 6. Educational Exhibit—There will be the most fully selected educational exhibit on missions ever made.
Manager Harris of the Glee club announces that the local concert will be given March 18 at the Opera house. The house has already been engaged for that night. Manager Harris is also arranging Friday and Saturday night bookings for Topeka, Valley Falls and Burlingame.

CHANCE FOR A K. U. REPRESENTA
TIVS ON ALL WESTERN TEAM.
If you think you can make a first class man for a track team, go into training and get to work. You may have a chance not only to get a, Varsity "K," or a record trophy, but to represent the West against in the East in the field must be held in Chicago in June. Captain Speak of the track team received the following letter from the manager of the Chicago Athletic association this week:
CHICAGO, Feb 12th, 1898.
CAPTAIN OF TRACK TEAM
Dear Sir: If you discover any first class material in your team while training for the inter-collegiate at distance running, hurdles, pole vault, quarter mile, I would be very much obliged if you would ask the gentlemen to correspond with me in regard to becoming athletic members of this club, and to represent us in our dual meet with the New York Athletic club and the National Championships, which take place the second and third Saturdays in June in Chicago.
It will cause very little more labor, and I am sure the glory will more than compensate for the time spent. It will be the West against the East, as all Eastern colleges are helping the N. Y. A. C.
Hoping for your hearty co-operation, am Yours Sincerely,
F. W. STONE.
Athletic Manager.
Captain Speak said: "This prospect of a trip to Chicago ought to act as an incentive. I wish Managar McKay would call a meeting of candidates for the track team. The other universities are beginning work and we ought to do so. The mud is drying on McCook-field and the track ought to be put in shape right a way."

HALF-TONES AND HALF-TONES
Mr. Marcy Explains the Difference Between a Fine and Course Cut-Hopss in Time to Work in Phot-Gelatine.
What Is Going On In His Den.
Some samples of gel-polate art illustrations came into the hands of the WEEKLY this week, through the courtesy of Treasurer Moody. The illustrations, though put on rather interior paper, seemed in several ways to be superior in tone and finish to the best half-tone cuts. Taking the illustrations with him, a WEEKLY reporter visited Mr. Marcy's engraving den in the tower to get an explanation of the process, and incidentally to find out how the University engraver's business was progressing.
Mr. Marcy was found busy working on the illustrations for the report of the Geological survey. Shown the sample illustrations, he said:
"Yes, this work is much superior to half-tones."
"Not now. I hope in time to be able to use this photo-gelatine, or swelled gelatine process, as it used to be called. To do this work requires more expensive implements than I have at hand. The work is certainly beautiful work. It is particularly adapted for scientific work, especially for illustrations where minute microscopic work is to be re-produced. You will notice that this process avoids the screery effect of half-tone work, even the best half-tones exhibit this screeny effect. This is because a fine screen is used in making the half-tone engravin
"Are you so simulated as to do work of this character?" was asked.
"The finer the screen the less noticeable the effect of it on the illustration. I have here an illustration I made with the use of a screen with 150 lines to the square inch. You will notice that the effect of the screen is here just barely visible. I have another 100 line screen which produces what is known as a course half tone. These course half tones though the screen is more easily visible, are better adapted to newspapers than the finer half tones. I have also on the way a 133-line screen—the screen generally used in half-tone works. This gelatine process, while producing a better effect than the half-tone requires not only more expensive materials but very superior press-work. Indeed with poor press work the half-tones give better results."
In answer to a question as to whether he would be prepared to finish half-tone cuts for Senior Annuals and other illustrated publications at the University, Mr Marcey said:
"I am now, as you probably noticed when you came in, working on the report of the Geological survey. For that work I am furnishing thirty-five full page cuts, I will soon be through with that and could, if desired, furnish cuts for annual's or almost any other publication, provided I am given time enough. I presume, however, that the seniors will want their work done in Kansas City.

The class in Zoology I has started its work and is making a careful study of cray fish. The class this year is very large and is under the care of Prof Dyche and Mr. McClung. Many more students wanted to take advantage of this course but were deterred from it on account of the expense, which is greater this year, better books and instruments being required for the closer work that is to be done this term.
A considerable change had to be made in the hours for Physical Culture on account of the gymnasium being used from 10-12 o'clock by Botany I and from 1 to 8 by the class of Zoology I.
The representative of the firm from which the University buys most of its microscopes, etc., was here Wednesday making a sort of a census of the instruments in use in the various departments. All told there are about sixty microscopes —an entirely inadequate number for the work—and none of these are of sufficient power to permit of work being carried on in Cryptology, a course in which a number of students wanted to take up the work. The class in Botany I has about seven-
The class in Botany I has about seventy-five members.
Twenty acromatic triplet microscopes have been ordered by the zoological department for the use of the class in course I.
The plates for Dr. Williston's Paleontological Report went to the engraver Wednesday. There will be about 100 of these engravings.
Prof's Stevens and McClung have been fixing up a micro-photographic room on the second floor. They have electric lights and water put in already, and when they have everything arranged they will be prepared to do some first-class micro-photographic work.
The Snow Hall Journal club meets every Wednesday, in the northeast room of the second floor, and all those interested in biological work are cordially invited. The meetings are always interesting. Last Wednesday's program was a talk by Mr. Beede on "Problema of British Faun," and one by Dr. Williston about the "Galapagos Island." There was a large attendance and everybody was interested.
Prof. Dyche left Tuesday for a lecture in the Oklahoma University.
Dr. Williston spent several days in Manhattan last week.
President Kingsbury of the Utah University was inspecting the museum Thursday morning. He is on his way east to investigate the different universities.

Chancellor
Mr. Fngel. So States in a Letter to the Chancellor
Mr. Engel, who is absent on leave at Harvard, writes the chancellor under the date of Jan. 16:
"Kansas University has a good name here. In the graduate school I meet fellows from almost every state, and when I mention our university it is in most cases no new topic. I hope K. U. will build up its graduate school, for it is the best backing we can get, and with your energy behind the movement, I am confident it will succeed. I am getting views of university work here which will be of great value to me, and I hope to the university. The midyear examinations begin here next week and continue to the middle of February. To my mind our system of examinations is far preferable to the one in vogue here. Too much valuable time is lost."

AMUSEMENTS.
The rural comedy which is to appease at the Bowersock on Saturday, Feb. 19 entitled "Si Plunkard" is a graphic and amusing picture of rural life and characterization. Mr. Lewis, in the title role of the Yankee peddler, and drum major in the Fairview band, brings plenty of humor to this part and creates a great deal of amusement. The inventor, the bogus stock speculator, the old farmer, and gi's pretty sweetheart are all well sustained characters.
There is a deal that is novel in the play. The farm scene with its threshing machine at work captivates the audience. Clever specialties are introduced by a big company of comedians which goes to make an evening's entertainment of fun from start to finish. The comedy having been entirely re-written this season presents new dialogues, new situations, new scenic and mechanical effects, making it one of the strongest farce comedies now before the public, and the superb orchestra carried by this company will entertain the patrons during the acts with their latest musical selections. Prices 25c, 35c, 50c.

ELECTRICAL SEMINARY
At the meeting of the Electrical Seminary Tuesday morning Mr. John M. Lee read a paper on "The Enclosed Arc Light" in which he explained the advantage of the enclosed arc over the common arc. The advantages were those of expense, and trouble of retimming and long life, besides the fact that they give a better colored light.
Prof. Dunston gave a talk on "A Mechanical Device for Splitting the Phose of Alternating Currents." Herbert Clark read a paper on "A Method of Changing Alternating Currents with Direct Currents." His method was an electro-lytic arc. The papers were all good and deserved a much larger audience than was present.

ORATORICAL CONTEST.
BARBER BROS., Drvggists.
Robinson & Robinson handle the sweltest line of neckwear in the City.
Will be Held Friday Night—Eight Colleges Represented—Local
The State Oratorical Association will hold its annual contest in Bowersock's Opera House next Friday night. The following eight institutions of higher learning will be represented: Kansas University, Baker, Midland, Washburn, Collage of Emporia, Salina Wesleyan, Winfield, and Ottawa.
The champion orator from each college will be accompanied by a patrician body of fellow students who will be wildly enthusiastic in shouting praise of their orator. At Bowersock's Opera House will be gathered the ardent college men and women of the State of Kansas. The crimson wave will trom the lower left hand box and from the west side of the parquet. Washburn, Baker and Midland will be to our right. Account of the large attendance insured from the other colleges, Kansas University has but a limited number of seats. If you want to help wave the crimson and vell "Rock Chalk" you had better see J. O Hall at once and secure a seat.
Our orator, P. S. Elliott, has the fourth place on the program. This is a desirable place and with Mr. Elliott's strong oration and good delivery Kansas University is sure of a high rank and has an excellent chance of representing Kansas at the interstate contest in Wisconsin.
There will be a mass meeting in University hall some day next week. Every Kansas University student should attend. The purpose of the meeting will be to arouse enthusiasm, cheer our orator, and make all necessary arrangements for Friday night.
Following is the program of the contest:
Vocal solo—Selected, Miss Ellison,
Midland college.

In a recent review of American Chemical Research which appears in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, a very favorable notice is given of a recent article by Mr. H. P. Cady on The Electrolysis and Electrical Conductivity of Certain Substances Dissolved in Ammonia This article is based upon work done in our Chemical Laboratory last year. After a brief review the writer says, "The most remarkable results were obtained with a solution of metallic sodium. Although an excellent conductor there was no indication of electrolysis when a current was passed through; no deposit formed on the electrodes; no gas was set free, and no polarization current could be detected. The article seems to the reviewer to open up a most interesting and important field of investigation; and it is hoped that the author will continue the work under improved conditions as soon as possible."

SUPERIORITY OF NEW ENROLMENT
SYSTEM TO OLD.
The Passing of the Four Study Commit tse.—What the Deans Say of the Change.
In a growing institution of learning it is found necessary from time to time to change old customs, to alter the study courses, to make new requirements for entrance, and, in fact, to change the whole policy of the schol to suit the increased demands made of it.
These changes are quite noticeable in our University and among the more recent ones is that of the system of enrollment. When the number of students attending the University was limited to two or three hundred, it was not so difficult to enroll and keep a record of them; but as the number increased, the confusion at the registration office seemed to grow in a greater proportion. Various schemes for keeping the student record have been adopted at different times, but none of them proved to be much of a success until the present system was introduced last fall. The new system is fully explained in the "Rules Governing in the Manner of Enrollment," the second article of which reads of follows.
"Upon registration each student will receive from the Registrar a certificate of his standing, which he will present to the Dean, together with a duplicate list of the courses which he desires to pursue. This statement of standing and one copy of the application for enrollment will be filed in the Dean's office; the other copy of the application, after receiving the approval of the Dean, will be submitted to the instructors of the courses concerned, and after being signed by them must be returned to the Registrar."
.
The above gives a key to the whole scheme.
The chief objection to be found with the old system was the obtaining of credits outside of the regular work. A student having back work to make up would enroll in his three regular classes; but, by the end of the term it would be found that he had obtained credit for a fourth or fifth study, while his grades were generally poor. The schemes for getting around the Registrar and the four study committee were various.
The above loop-hole is blocked up now by the following rule:
"The registrar shall not file for record a grade for any course which has not been authorized to be taken by the dean, the committee on advanced standing, or the faculty of the proper school."
Another feature of the new ruling was the doing away with the four study committee, and the laying down of certain requirements for the student desired to take more than three studies. The principal requirement for the above is—
"No student will be allowed to take more than three courses who has not received grade I on at least two-thirds of his work in the preceding year."
Whether the abolishment of the four study committee was the correct thing to do is not to be stated here; but it is an undisputed fact that there are at present a greater proportion of four study men than there were last year.
Prof. Sayre stated that he was surprised with the amount of good derived by the change. The Registrar says that there may be better systems, but that such a one has never been proposed. It seems fair to state that the opinion of the student body is favorable.
Prof. Marvin is very much pleased with the new order of affairs. He says "that the very fact of there being deposited with him a duplicate grade card has a moral influence upon the boys" also "that the dean may be more than an executive officer, he can act as an advisor." There being such a large percentage of the students in their collegiate course, the work of Prof. Miller is made doubly hard, but, yet, he says the change is a good one.

TH INDOOR MEET.
Many Men Preparing for the Annual Event
The management is working hard and a number of novelties will be introduced.
The indoor meet has become one of the most popular of college athletic contests, and the K. U. meet this year promises to eclipse all of its predecessors.
A large number of men are in training for the different events and great enthusiasm is being aroused among the students. A gentlemanly rivalry exists among the candidates, and a good contest in all of the events is assured.
While not definitely decided upon it is expected to hold the meet sometime early in Mrach. The athletic committee has decided against boxing as one of the events.
At the top—is the K. U. Special.
NERBASKA FAVORS IT

The prospect of a two or three day general inter-collegiate athletic carnival at Kansas City is very bright.
Spring Athletic Meet at Kansas City Desired by the Nebraska-ans.
Since the subject was first agitated by the WEEKLY, two weeks ago, interest in it has been steadily advancing. Prof. Clark, who has been one of its strongest advocates from the start, wrote to Nebraska to sound them on the matter. A letter was received from Lincoln yesterday, the tone of which is very favorable.
Prof. Clark when seen by a WEEKLY reporter said:
"Yes I have received a very favorable letter from Nebraska. Nebraska has a baseball game arranged with Missouri at Kansas City for Thursday, May 5th. Nebraska has long been anxious to meet us in a tennis tournament; and the letter which I have received, favors taking advantage of the Missouri game to hold an inter-collegiate meet at Kansas City between representatives of the three colleges in baseball, tennis, and track athletics. Nebraska reports a good track team and wants nothing better than a chance to meet us. If a guaranty can be secured the meet is assured."
It is understood that a number of Kansas Citians interested in athletics have organized an athletic club. Their purpose is to encourage inter-collegiate meets and if proper energy is used a guaranty ought to be forthcoming.
Buy a K.U. Special; it's the latest spring shape.
Base Ball.
count on the ball team.
The prospect for a team, at first very encouraging, has been dampened somewhat by the strict rule of the faculty in regard to professionalism. Gear and Stanley have been ruled out, leaving Swett and Peters as the only candidates for the box. This ruling will necessitate many of the players shifting from the positions they held so creditably last year.
Many students consider the ruling of the faculty a little partial. While there are many good candidates for other positions, the fact that the very best players have been ruled out merely because they played a few games as a pastime, is discouraging to the remainder of the candidates.
A WEEKLY reporter visited the rink this week. Through the efforts of Manager Snyder, that building has been very conveniently arranged for indoor base ball practice. A cage has been erected for batting, and by other arrangements players can get almost as much benefit from the practice in the one large room, as they could on the ball field.
CHEMICAL SEMINARY
The Chemical seminary had its usual good meeting last Thursday. The senior Pharmics class attended in a body making the number present unusually large. The members of the seminary were pleased to have with them President Kingsburry of the Utah State University who gave a short address on the history of the institution of which he is a representative. After the address Prof. Sayre lectured on Digestive Ferments.

A TWENTIETH CENTURY CURRICULUM.
SO SAYS CHANELLOLOR SNOW OF THE
CHANGES MADE
THE COURSE OF STUDY.
A Year's' Work in Biological Science Made [Compulsory—Its Educational Value.]
Beginning next fall, every candidate for the degree of A. B. from the University, must have spent at least one year in the study of biological sciences; and one half year in the study of chemistry. Such was the gist of action taken by the faculty of the school of Arts last Monday night. This action needs only to be approved by the board of regents to become binding upon all future candidates for the A. B. degree. There is little doubt but that this action will meet the approval of the regents. Indeed a suggestion of some suchaction was made by the regents some time ago.
The faculty meeting Monday night was very spirited but the following recommendation to the regents were finally made. Suggested course of study for the Freshman and Sophomore years:
FRESHMAN YEAR—FIRST TERM.
Group A, French, 1, 3, 5; German, 1,
3, 5; Greek, 1, 3, 5; Latin, 1, 3.
Group B, Mathematics; 1; English, 1
Group C, Elocution or Voice Training,
once a week; Hygiene, once a week
Physical Training, once a week.
Every Faeshman is required to carry one course in A and all of B and C, provided that students who offer three years of English for entrance will take English history or a second course in A instead of English 1 in B.
FRESHMAN YEAR - SECOND TERM.
Group A: French 2, 4, 6; German 2,
4, 6; Greek 2, 4, 6; Latm 2, 4.
Group B: English 2. Notany 1, Chemistry 1. Mathematics 2.
Group C: Elocution or Voice Training, once a week. Physical training three times a week.
Every Freshman is required to carry one course in A and all of C. An option of any two courses in B is permitted to all students; provided, first, that English 2 may be elected by those students only who offer one year of English for the entrance, and second, that students offering Botany and Chemistry for entrance will take a second course from Freshman A or Sonphomore B.
SOPHOMORE YEAR—FIRST TERM
SOPHOMORE YEAR 1, 3, 4 TERM
Group A: French 1, 3, 5; German 1,
3, 5; Greek 1, 3; Latin 1, 3.
Group B: Mathematics 3. (Analytics).
English History. Zoology 2. Chemistry
2. Botany 2.
Group C: Physical training, three times a week. Three themes of 1,000 words each;
SOPHOMORE YEAR—SECOND TERM.
Group A: English (a) 2; French 2, 4;
6; German 2, 4, 6; Greek 3, 4, 6; Latin
2, 4.
Group B: Mathematics 4, (Calculus);
Logic and Psychology; Surveying;
Botany 1, when not taken in Freshman year;
Chemistry 1, when not taken in Freshman year; Mathematics 2, when not taken in Freshman year.
Every sophomore will take all of C and will elect any six courses from A and B; provided, that not more than four courses shall be from either group.
Group C: Physical Training, three times a week; Three themes of 1,000 words each.
By the end, of the Sophomore year every student must have done in the high school or in the University at least one year's work in biological science and one half year's work in chemistry."
At the end of the Sophomore year every student must have done some work in the school in at least two languages other than English.
"The board of regents requested the faculty to prepare a course of study for the Freshman and Sophomore years which should include one year's
It was this last clause of the proposed change that brought forth the spirited discussion which is said to have taken place at the meeting. It was finally carried by a vote of fifteen to seven.
Chancellor Snow said of the proposed changes to a WEEKLY reporter:
work in biological science. This request was made because the regents believed that no student ought to be allowed to graduate without some knowledge of modern biological science. The amount of work in language required for graduation is not diminished, but it is made impossible to carry two foreign languages at the same time through the two years. There are still nine full terms work in language required before the end of the Sophmore year. This scheme merely adds three full terms or half year's science to the two half year's already required, making a total of five half years' work in physical and biological science; three terms physical and two terms biological.
"At the present time," continued the Chancellor, "a considerable proportion, perhaps one half, of our students have taken no biological study whatever. Such students go out from here unfamiliar with the fundamental facts at the basis of modern philosophy and are not qualified to understand the discussion of evolution in language, sociology and reli- ion as well as in science.
"This is an attempt to bring the University into touch with the educational necessities of the first years of the twentieth century."
Asked as to whether the decision of the faculty was final or not the chancellor answered:
These of course are merely in the way of recommendations to the regents. But such recommendations are practically final. The regents have delegated to the faculties of the various schools power to fix requirements for admission and to adopt a course of study—subject to rejection by the regents. This reserved power of the regents is seldom exercised. The result in regard to the changes made is one of the few instances of its use. The change is not exactly that recommended but accomplishes the same result, attention on the part of the student to biological science. The regents asked that one year's biological science be made compulsory in University work while the faculty have made it possible to take this required science in the high school.
"Indeed this will in the end make very little modification in University work over the present scheme. Within three years probably three-fourths of the students will have had their year of Biology before entering the University.
"This requirement of a year of Biology puts the University back to the position occupied at the end of the academic year, '84-95. At that time a half year's work in Botany and Chemistry was required, while a half year's Zoology was made optional with Analytics. It is needless to say that most of the students chose Zoology. At that time we were in advance of all other institutions in making Biological Science a factor in the education of students. The proposed change merely means the adoption anew of advanced educational methods."

After the Ottawa Mandolin club had
game intensified. Each delegation vied with the other to see which would make the most noise and at the Opera House before and after the program and even at times during the contest the noise was defeating. Rock Chalk, Baker taker, and other yells were mingled in hopeless confusion.
Aside from the noise the contest itself was remarkably peaceful. Whatever cane rushes may have taken place on the streets during the day, the contest itself was marked by an unusual absence of tearing down of banners or breaking of canes. The noise was great while the judges were out, but when the decision came, former Lawrence demonstrations were nowhere compared with the wild enthusiasm of the Kansas supporters. Wearers of the crimson and blue made a grand rush for the stage and within a shorter time than it takes to tell, nothing on the stage was visible bui a howling, shouting, enthusiastic mob of Jayhawkers. The contest program opened with the invocation, followed by a vocal solo by Miss Ellison of Midland.
The first orator of the evening was Mr William L. Washer of Midland college, whose subject was "Human Progress Inevitable." The spirit of progress is inherent in man and is essential to his existence. By it his ambition is aroused. In every sphere of his activity it makes itself felt. Investigations in science, religion and government are all attributable to this spirit of progress. Thus in the sphere of research and industry the irresistible force of human progress adds emphasis to the proof of its existence. Advancing literary ideal adds its manifestation to the existence of progress. That which has been true of all past and present should also be true of the future. The spirit of progress has been, is and will remain the fundamental force in human activity

favored the audience with a selection

Mr. William L. Cunningham of Washburn, followed with the third oration of the program. Mr. Cunningham spoke on the "Reign of Law." Government is formed and is necessary to preserve civil liberty. In all ages, the tendency of mankind has been towards a truer liberty. First there came the wild reign of individualism, but true liberty was not there. This condition of society produced the rule of a single monarch, but true liberty was not there. At last there came the rule of the people, they will pr nounced and ascertained according to a prescribe law, and true liberty was there. Our government in form is the ideal representative of this last system. If it is possible to reconcile liberty and order, to maintain popular self-government, it must be determined by this people. We must then sweer devotion to the organic law of the land; we must support with fidelity the officers in its enforcement to end that this may ever remain "a government of laws and not of men."
Then came our own orator, P. S. Elliott.
Mr Elliott's subject was "Liberty and Law."
Law is the promoter and protector of all that is grand and noble. Representative legislation is liberty's greatest safeguard. But the voice of the people is the voice of God only when directed by wisdom, tempered by virtue, restrained by law. Our idea is not liberty without law but liberty restrained by law.
"With legislation in the hands of the people, with all the safeguards of liberty, wrongs still exist. Laws are perverted, broken and unenforced. But the fault is with individual character. Would you have your laws respected? Then look to their enforcement. Would you have purer and more just laws? Then give us pure and honest men to enact them. To say that such men do not exist, is to admit our own guilt. They do exist, and when demanded will appear. Then let the honest, intelligent, God fearing people arise in their might and demand justice, and justice

If Mr. Elliott wants anything just tell him to speak, we are sure he will get it.
The pre-Lentem social season passed off without any obnoxious bibulous features much to the chagrin, no doubt, of certain Lawrence correspondents.
"You are all right young man. Keep on making short sentences, digesting your meals, trusting in God, and betting on man, and you will be happy. That is the sum of all philosophy." Such was William Allen White's comment on Mr. Elliott's oration, as a judge on thought for our contest. Mr. White appears to know a good oration when he sees it, even if he can't tell patent leathers from glazed rubbers.
No, the date of publication has no been changed from Saturday to Tuesday. The Weekly has the promise of the Journal Company that last week's delay will not be repeated. From the experience of last week, it might seem that but little trust could be placed in the promises of of that company. However we have reason to believe that there will be a disaposition on their part to live up to their contract in the future and that we may be safe in assuring subscribers prompt and regular issues from now on.

It is unfortunate that so much bitter feeling has been aroused in one of the literary societies over the selection of the Kansas-Nebraska debaters. Of the merits of the controversy in the Adelphic the WEEKLY knows nothing. For the sake of the showing we hope to make in the debate, however, any dissension in our own camp is to be extremely regretted. The reference of the matter to the council will undoubtedly prove the way out of the difficulty. Either party at present seems disposed to recede one jot from its position. To tell the truth both sides have completely lost their temper. The WEELKLY has every confidence in the ability of the Council to fairly and equitably straighten out the controversy. It should be borne in mind by all parties, that the council has no per oral feeling in the matter, and it is to be hoped that whatever their decision the opposing factions will realize that the council has only the success of the University at heart, and that whatever the outcome, both parties will bottle their wrath, and save their invective and fire for Nebraska.

Mr. Greider Goes to El Dorado.
W H. Greider left school, Monday morning to accept the principalship of the High school at El Dorado. There are eighteen teachers in the schools, three of which are in the High school. The position was obtained entirely upon Chancellor Snow's recommendation and all agree that his selection was a wise one.
Mr. Greifer came to Kansas University less than a year ago. He then had thirteen term's work to do in order to graduateate him but he began to plan his work with that end in view. He met discouragement on every hand, for no one believed he could do it. Nevertheless he persisted in being given a fair opportunity. Finally Prof. Carruth gave him permission to enter the last half of the second term's German, though he had never done my work in German at any school. At the end of this term he took the final examination, making a grade of one. Then he took on the first term's work with like result. In like manner he has disposed of so much work that he can now be absent three months and still graduate with the class in June.
Mr. Greifer has proved himself one of the strongest students Kauasas University has ever had and we are sure he will honor the school wherever he goes.

(Continued from page 1.)
In their hands rests not only their own destiny, but the future of humanity. Then will be realized not "the dream of the scholar, poet and philosopher." then will be developed not an Utopian civilization, but a vigorous, aggressive, self-governing people, ready to grapple with any question, able to overcome any opposition and determined that liberty and equality shall prevail.
Mr. House of Kansas University sang it his usual good style "The Great American Sphinx" was the subject of the next speaker, Mr. E. D. Manly of Ottawa University. Mr. Manly traced the career of General Grant, dogged in determination, silent, but victorious The nation finally rang with his praises but through all he maintained that self-possessed spirit of modesty which has made him beloved by his enemies, and endeared him to his friends.
The next orator was Mr. R. E. Cullison of the College of Emporia who spoke on the Problem of equality Absolute equality is demanded as the fifth act of the drama of human development. The real champion of equality is the element of pity in the nature of man. The presumption that happiness follows riches and misery poverty is fallacious. Not equality of position but of privilege is the true solution of the problem.
Another vocal solo, the tune by Mr. Van Landingham of Emporia and then came Mr. J. S. Fisher of South Western college, Winfield, with an oration on "The Mission of Service." The true test of worth is service. To this supreme test must come whatsoever solicits the favor of men. Difficulty, religious, social and economic problems confront the nations today. The sublime truth that duties are commensurate with rights is advancing as the supreme law for individuals and nations. Lives are made more beautiful by service Sublimer than any struggle of marshalled hosts are victories won every day by toilers in the stubble-fields of duty.
F W. Games of Baker, was the last speaker. Faith and Skepticism in Progress was his subject. Skepticism is the gospel of death, faith the gospel of life. This world is the cradle of eternity. Immortality is not a dream. Men in every age have looked beyond the stars. Since history dawned, the religious hero bartered life for faith. Earth was not made for a burial ground. "The generations gather to their fathers, and over their ashes rest the remains of many a dead century; but they peril not. Though their faltering steps lead but to the portal of a tomb, upon that portal falls the shadow of a Cross and within that shadow lies a meaning for the closing of all human story. Humanity sleeps in the repose of death's sad night to awake for a sublimer on the morning of the resurrection."

ELECTR CAL ENGINEERING NOTES.
Prof. Blake recently procured quite a number of hand books containing wiring tables and distributed them among the Senior engineers. These little books contain tables which are indispensable to the electrician and were very much appreciated by the class.
Prof. Blake recently received a letter from Chas. Fletcher who is holding a very good position in a New York electrical manufacturing company. He is in a position to learn all the ins and outs of trade. He works in all the different rooms successively till he has become familiar with all the different branches of the business. He says that such a position as he holds would be useless to try unless you had a decided "pull" with the superintendent or some high official.

GIFTS FOR LIBRA?Y.
American History Department Secures Two Valuable Works.
The department of American History has recently secured two important gifts for the University Library. One is a set of reprints of the Colonial Laws of Massachusetts, the gift of the editor Mr. W. H. Whitmore, of Boston. This reprint was issued in a limited edition of 300 copies by the City of Boston. Sets are already becoming very scarce and are quoted by booksellers at $10 a volume. An interesting feature of the reprint is a facsimile of the original manuscript of the Body of Liberties. The other addition to the library is a set of the Colonial Laws of New York, just issued in five volumes by the New York Commission for Statuary Revision. The set is the gift of the Secretary of the Commission, Hon. R. C. Tumming, of Albany.

THE WORLD AGAINST HER
AMUSEMENTS
THE WORLD AGAINST HER.
This excellent play is one of the old fashioned melodramas dealing with the story of happiness destroyed by the machinations of the villain, the subsequent sufferings of the innocent and the final overthrow and punishment of the guilty, with the thread of happiness as a reward to the innocent.
"The World Against Her," as given by Agnes Wallace Villas, and her supporting players, is a distinct success. The sensational element of the play is good and keeps the interest of the audience throughout. The company is most competent, and the members are thoroughly up in their parts. Miss Villa, in the principal role, that of Madge Carlton, who has the bulk of the work to do, was largely responsible for the success of the performance. The minor parts, without exception, are extremely well played. There are many beautiful specialties in this box office winner which are extremely well done, and the comedy parts are in the hands of artists. Bowersock Opera house Tuesday, March 1.

SOCIETY
PI PHIS ENTERTAIN.
The pre-Lenten-gaities closed last Monday night with one of the most successful parties ever given by the Pi Beta Phi fraternity. Pythian hall was most elaborately decorated for the occasion. Heavy evergreen ropes were festooned from the center chandelier to the four corners and across the balcony, which was very effectively decorated with palms and shaded lamps, mirrors and numberless divans and cushions made the hall probably the prettiest it has been this year, and formed an effective setting for the merry, dainty gowns of the girls.
The receiving committee consisted of Misses Edith Snow and Harriet Ayres and the partronesses of the fraternity, with their husbands. They were Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Weaver, Mr. and Mrs. Paul R. Brooks, Prof. and Mrs. James Green, and Mr. and Mrs. Peter Emery. The programs were given out by Mrs. Green and Mrs. Brooks.
Ice water was served downstairs from a pretty booth of evergreens and the wine and blue of the fraternity, while upstairs coffee and sandwiches were brought throughout the evening. An unusually large numbers of out of town guests were present, including prominent society people from Kansas City, Topeka, Leavenworth, Atchison, Ottawa and other neighboring towns.
The Phi Beta Kappa reception and initiation took place Tuesday night at the home of Prof. Wilcox.

Chemical Seminary.
The Chemical society had its regular meeting last Thursday. Prof Bailey had charge of the program. He discussed in a very interesting manner some papers pers that have been published in the Journal of the American Chemical society and in the American Chemical Journal. The following are the subjects that were discussed:
1. The Relation of the Taste of Acids to Their Degree of Dissociation, by F. W. Richard.
The joint debate committee met Friday noon. A petition from members of the Adelphic Literary Society was presented requesting that society be compelled to hold a preliminary. After a spirited discussion the chairman announced that the petition must be finally referred to the council. The feeling between the factions of the adelphic is very bitter. Because of conflict with the Indoor Meet and the Glee Club concert, it was moved and carried to request of the Missouri that the debate be postponed from the 18th to the 25th.
2. The Dignity of Analytical Work by C.B. Dudley.
Prof. Holder announced that his resignation was in the hands of the council. Prof. Brownell was elected chairman.

cussed the reasons leading to "The Choice of an Engineering Education." Dr. Bartow spoke of the investigations that he is carrying on in reference to the rivers of Kansas. Mr. Wm, Harvey Brown, who was elected a member of the society while in Africa in 1890, gave a very interesting description of "The Manners and Customs of the People of South Africa." He dwelt particularly on the characteristics of the races, their marriage, and burial customs and forms of greeting. Several important traits of the negroes in this country were shown to be hereditary and characteristic of the tribes in Africa. The superstitions of the natives and their precautions to avoid the evil that they fear from unfriendly spirits were discussed at some length. At the close of these exercises bountiful refreshments were served. It is proposed to hold two or three more meetings before the close of the year.
It is a sad thing to have a dear friend suddenly called from earth into the other world, but it has recently fallen to the lot of a number of our students to look for the last time upon the face of a loved one. Last Friday afternoon Mr. A. C. Mead listened with an appreciative ear to the Symphony concert and only a few hours after that; while he and three of his chums were pleasantly chatting in an upper room, another friend came in with the announcement that Mrs. Mead was on her way to Lawrence to make her son a visit. The next day she was met at the depot in Lawrence by sympathizing friends who made known to her the terrible news. Why such sad experiences should come into our lives, it is not for us to know; but it is our duty to learn from them the great truths of life.
Mr. Mead was born twenty-one years ago last April in Fort Scott, Kansas. All but two years and a half of his life was spent in that city. He lived one year in California and one and a half in Lawrence. The life of Mr. Mead was pure and sweet. He was born of Christian parents, and he led from his early years a Christian life. He leaves to mourn his loss a loving mother, a fond father and a broken-hearted brother. It is fitting to mention the courage and ambition of this young man, who, although he knew that he was afflicted with an incurable disease, had planned a life's work and was struggling hard to attain the end he sought. And we know how well he was succeeding. It is to his praise that he attained a height of culture and refinement not often found among college students or anywhere in one so young. Last Monday morning he was laid away in a vault in the Evergreen cemetery, three miles from his home.
Piano Recital.
On Wednesday at 5 o'clock occurred the fourth of the series of twenty recitals. The audience was somewhat larger than at any of the preceding recitals which goes to show that they are growing in popularity. The program was very well rendered and merited a larger audience than was present. Four of the numbers on the program were plano solos and two vocal solos. The first number "Farontella," by Mosznawski was rendered by Miss Ireland who played it very well but if she had put a little more spirit into her execution it would have been
J. H.F
better. It was very well received by the audience as was also the second number an Italian sarenade, by Jungmann, played by Miss Mills. It was not a brilliant piece and was therefore more difficult to render pleasing. The next number was a vocal selection by Miss MoCormick who appeared for the first time before a Lawrence audience and was, barring a slight unsteadiness well rendered. Miss Fisher's number was played with the delicacy and precision that one would naturally expect from her. Her number was a double one, the first part being "Guitarre" by Moszaowski, and the second, a minuet from Suite in E minor by Raff:
The second vocal selection was by Miss Spaulding. Her number was entitled "Calm as the Night," and was sung very sweetly. The last number was by Miss Daisy Orton who is well known to Lawrence audiences by her brilliant and artistic playing. Her number was Wieniawski's "Valse de Concert" and was played with her brilliancy and firmness.
SNOW HALL.
Prof Dyche gave a lecture last night at Neodesha. Last Friday he was at the Oklahoma University but a severe storm came up and the lecture had to be postponed until Saturday night when a large and interested audience greeted him.
Wednesday the Snow Hall Journal Club held its sixteenth weekly meeting. Prof. Barber gave a very interesting "Review of Roland Thaxter's Monograph on Laboubieniacea. This club meets every Wednesday afternoon at 5 o'clock instead of 2 o'clock as the directory says and every body interested in Natural History is invited to attend.
The departments concerned in it have just purchased twenty achromatic, triplet lenses for the use of the classes in Botany 1 and Zoology 1. Another great convenience provided for these classes is the system of lockers. These lockers are large enough for the students to keep all books and instruments, needed in the work, in and are also provided free of cost to the student.
The Gymnasium room is now the most used, yet the poorest finished room in the whole University. There is a class in there now every hour in the day.
The scheme for the Natural History Survey, a brief mention of which was given a short time ago, was launched at the last meeting of the journal club.
The idea is to make a biological survey of the neighborhood of Lawrence probably within a radius of five miles and then to take in a larger district. These trips are to be made every Saturday when the weather permits and the first will be to the Wakarusa. All the instructors in Snow Hall will actively assist in this survey and they would like all students, interested in this line of work to join them. Each student participating will be given some special subject to attend to and will be under the supervision of the instructors in this department of Natural History. The results of this survey will be published in yearly volumes and any student developing anything of value will be given credit for his work in these records. The first volume will most likely be botanical in its nature as this line of work is easier of comprehension and more productive of results than is zoology.

BUST UNVEILED
A Large Crowd List is To Address In HOUER Of The Occas on.
There was a very large audience at the chapel Tuesday morning to witness the presentation of the bust of Governor Robinson to the University by the state A number of the regents were present.
Messrs Frank and Ed House, Pieratt and Gilbert sang the "The Star Spangled Banner."
Prof. Penny acquitted himself spendidl by a number of selections on the pipe or can
Mr Woodward was introduced and made the following address presenting the bust to the state.
Governor Leedy, it is already well known to you that at its last session, the legislature of Kansas made this enactment;
"The sum of $1000 or as much thereof as may be necessary is hereby appropriated for the purpose of securing a marble bust of the late ex-Governor Chas. Robinson to be placed in the chapel of the university of Kansas as a memorial to one whose noble character and eminent services entitle him to the grateful remembrance of every citizen of this commonwealth."
This was a gracious enactment and it reflects credit upon the legislature that made it in behalf of the people of Kansas who owe more than they can ever well repay to all those who bore an important part in the early struggle which secured this great state for freedom.
It was especially appropriate too, that it should have been designated that this bust of Governor Robinson should be placed in this University that he helped to found, and in which he always maintained the warmest interest—foreseeing as I think he did from the beginning, that the highest development and truest success of his state should come in all future time through the cultivated intelligence and virtue of its people. It was such sentiment and feeling as this, no doubt, that prompted Thomas Jefferson when suggesting his own future epitaph, afterward engraved on his tomb, to pass over many memorable acts of his historic career even—that grand acquisition of empire for his country—and to associate instead with his authorship of the immortal declaration and his statute for religious liberty, the coveted title of "Father of the University of Virginia."
So to this university of Kansas, both in its earlier and its more recent period Governor Robinson gave freely his best thought and energies. Always, indeed, he bore it in mind, in every crisis of its history—and his last act of signal beneficence toward it but set the seal and crown to his devotion.
How appropriate then that the chiselled marble which is to perpetuate his features should rest here in full view of the thousands and tens of thousands, now and to come of the rising youth of this fair state; associated as it shall be also with that kindredmoral me to his friend, Amos Lawrence, who through him became an early friend and bene; factor to the University.
In pursuance of the further provision of the legislature that a committee of three should be appointed who should attend to the duty of securing in this memorial a work of fidelity, of truth to nature and to art, you Governor Leedy, were pleased to assign this task to Mrs. Gov. Robinson, Charles Chadwick and myself.
The committee cast about for an artist whose work should be worthy of the subject—and the choice fell upon Mr. Lorado Taft of Chicago—one already eminent in his profession, having served representatively upon the national story of sculpture at the World's

Fair of 1803, and who was known as the designer of several notable works, especially the bronze equestrian statue of Grant at Fort Leavenworth.
The model submitted by Mr. Taft(executed chiefly from photographs of Governor Robinson) was found the most satisfactory of all, and now the completed work abundantly justifies we think, his selection as artist, embodying an almost ideal representative of its original, a face and figure full of strength, dignity and repose.
- * * In his matchless elegy—for its content perhaps the purest piece of pathos in the language,—the poet Gray comes to ask this question which is answered in the asking; an storied哭 or animated bust Back to its mansion call the feeting breath Can Horn's voice provoke the silent dust Or flattery sooth the dull cold ear of death!
No! Charles Robinson has already passed far beyond the reach and range of our praise! His familiar face and form will no more be seen among men, as when for so many years he walked our streets or visited these halls. But thanks to the faithful talent of the artist, as exhibited in this animated marble, much of his well known lineaments and expression is here preserved, and will remain a vivid presentation of those lines of character and thought which marked the face and feature of one who will ever be memorable in Kansas history, and always gratefully remembered as the friend of Kansas university, Governor Leedy, on behalf of the commission appointed by you, I now have the honor and the pleasure of reporting back into your hands our completed trust—this memorial bust of Governor Charles Robinson.
Governor Leedy's response on behalf of the state was very brief. "Fellow Countrymen of Kansas," he began, "we are here not only to commemorate the birthday of the father of our country, but also in memory of the father of the state. I will leave the character, life and public services of Charles Robinson for others to speak of, but it is my duty as a representative of the state to recognize the work done by the commission and to receive the bust which will be given to the University as a monument worthy of the man we revere and honor." Governor Leedy then warmly thanked the commission for its efforts to secure so faithful a likeness of the Governor Robinson, and for their work that had been done without remuneration that "Kansas and Kansas university might have a fitting remembrance of a name that was a synonym for patriotism and probity throughout the state."
In accepting the bust on behalf of the University Charles F. Scott, a member of the board of regents said:
It was my great pleasure, Gov. Leedy, at the request of Chancellor Snow, to make the original draft of the bill by authority of which, as afterwards passed without a dissenting voice by the legislature and signed by yourself, this beautiful memorial came into being, and it is with peculiar pleasure therefore, that I find myself honored with the duty of taking formal possession of it in the name of the board of regents, who are henceforth to be its custodians. How richly this monument was deserved by the pre-eminent services of the great man whose memory it perpetuates has been already told. how peculiarly appropriate and fitting it is that it should be erected and kept forever in this stately hall is a story also that has been told and that is written indelibly on the hearts of those to whom this noble institution is most dear. It needs no pledges therefore, no spoken or written guarantees, to give assurance that the board of regents and the faculty and the student body as well, into whose joint care and keeping this monument is now cofided, will receive it as a high and sacred trust and will watch over it with a jealous guardianship.
The story of the life of Charles Robinson is so familiar here where the greater part of that life has lived that it needs not be rehearsed. It is a heroic, almost a romantic story. It is the story of a man, a man who took early a man's place in the world and held it stuunchly and sturdily to the end. I trust I shall not be misunderstood when I say it is the story of a fighter, a man so constituted that he must take one side or the
other of every question upon which men divided; and who, having chosen his ground, must maintain it earnestly and aggressively against every challenger. It is the story of a wise counsellor, of one whose brain was always cool and clear no matter what fires might be flashing, from the blue eyes.
As nearly as any man I ever knew Charles Robinson deserved the tribute which the Laureate paid to the Iron Duke when he said of him that he "stood four square to all the winds that blew." He came as near standing by himself, balanced by his own judgement, requiring no strengthening support from other men either as individuals or as aggregated into parties or churches or societies of any kind. At various times in his life he worked with various political parties, but when the particular object of the work was accomplished he put the party aside apparently with as little concern as he would lay down a tool that he was done with. In fact no fear of any kind, either moral or physical, ever troubled him. He said what he thought ought to be said with as small regard to consequence as he did what he thought ought to be done. And if the words of to-day contradicted those of yesterday, that did not concern him, for the words of both yesterday today were honest words. He did not know what policy meant so far as the word might be applied to our fortunes. He knew, doubtless, as well as everybody else knew, that he sacrificed all the political honors which a grateful and admiring people would have been proud to bestow when he severed his connection with the dominant party. But the thought, if it occurred to him, never bade him a moment's pause.
Men of the ancestry and mould and temper of Charles Robinson do not have to hold public office to be a part of the public life of their community or commonwealth. More than thirty years before his death Gov. Robinson laid down the only elective office he ever held and retired to his farm, but as a private citizen he was hardly less a factor in the affairs of the state than he had been as its chief executive. As a contributor to the newspapers and a frequent speaker at the hustings and on the platform, he contributed his share to the discussion of the questions that during all those thirty years made Kansas the most interesting spot on earth, writing and talking, not to gain some personal end, but because the convictions within him must have utterance. As late as June before his death in August I saw him for the last time in life, and although the pallor of the fatal illness was on his face, the old time light was in his eyes, and he talked with the old time interest and positiveness about the things that were happening in the state and the world.
For more than a year it was my great good fortune to be associated with Governor Robinson on the board of regents of this University engaged in work that was very dear to the heart of both of us, and so I learned to know him intimately. And I learned to know him to be a just man, a generous man, an inflexibly honest man, and with all his apparent austerity, a charmingly genial and hospitable man, whom one could love as well as admire.
His death came in the fullness of time, when his soul "was fit and seasoned for its passage," and the end was painless and peaceful. The stalwart, manly figure of him has passed over from the gaze of men, the eyes are shut and the voice is still forever. But so long as there remains on the map of the earth a spot called Kansas, and so long as there remains even the dimmest tradition that there was a long, heroic and finally successful struggle there for freedom, and so long as there remains one stone upon another of the stately walls of this university, which was as the apple of his eye, so long will live the name and the fragrant memory of Charles Robinson.

BASE BALL NOTES.
The new battery cage and back stop at the rink are now complete. The cage is different from anything used here in past years and is similar to that in use in the Pennsylvania gymnasium. It is wire netting and is entirely open at the front. Quite a few candidates have registered for regular practice but the materials for the batteries are slow in getting out. Captain Curry attributes this to backwardness on the part of the new men. Speaking to a reporter for the WEEKLY he said:
"There are undoubtedly a number of valuable players among the men enrolled this year, but lack of self confidence is an inherent quality of the average freshman. He regards with awe the reputation of the old players, and will not venture to compete until he comes to realize that after all they are not infallible. I wish especially to emphasize that the object of the early training is not only to make the strong player stronger but also to develop the beginner. There is plenty of room at the rink for all candidates and as soon as McCook Field is in good condition I hope to see enough material for the formation of first, second and perhaps a third team. From the showing made by the practice of these teams the Varsity nine will be chosen.
O. M. Irelan, the stalwart first baseman of Washburn, of the past two seasons was in town yesterday attending the State Oratorial contest. He talked very enthusiably to a representative of the WEEKLY concerning Washburn's prospects in baseball this year. "We were only too happy" he said, to enter into the Quadrangular league and we are coming down here on the 7th of May to knock the spots out of K. U. To be sure Stricklett has left us this year for the Southern League but our new men are right up to snuff, and we have a twirler who will be a revelation to the league.
Besides the league dates, we have a couple of games arranged with the Nebraska State University at Lincoln for the middle of May, and will give them a return game in Topeka the latter part of the same month.
Mr. Irishan's reference to Stricklett recalls a rather exciting game of last year The Varsity team was playing Washburn out at Athletic Park, Topeka. The grand sand and bleachers were full and the sidewalks crowded. Enthusiasm for Wasnburn was unbounded. Stricklett in the box was doing phenomenal work, and at every "strike" called by the umpire the local fans gave forth a lusty cheer. At the end of the first inning the score stood 2 to 2, and at the end of the fourth was tied at 4 to 4.
As the fifth inning came on cool gusts of air blew clouds of dust from the diamond and a thunder shower was seen to be approaching. Play was fast and the 'Varsity boys succeeded in getting in one run in the first half of the inning, making the score 5 to 4. Stahl stepped up to the plate for Washburn with a determined look. Meantime, the fans were trying to rattle Pitcher Stanley by every kind of heathenish noise conceivable. When Stahl "laced out" a two bagger and Irean immediately followed with a two base drive bring him in, Athletic park was not big enough to hold the crowd. When the yelling had ceased Irean was perched on third base with the score 5 to 5 and no outs. Five full innings is counted a game and all that was necessary for Washburn was the scoring of the man on third.
At this juncture, however, it began to rain, and Stanley demanded the umpire call the game. This he refused to do and play was resumed. But Catcher Curry's diplomacy was equal to the occasion. He stepped several feet to one side of the plate out of reach of the latter and leisurely caught the ball as Stanley threw it. "One Ball! Two Balls! Three Balls!" By this time the diamond was deluged and the umpire himself was forced to run for shelter. The decision was of course "no game."
The Beta boys played a practice game with the Indians on Washington's birthday. The gentlemen of this fraternity will organize shortly for a game with the Topeka society boys.
