TWO GAMES NEXT WEEK.
MISSOURI ON FRIDAY AND OTTAWA
ON SATURDAY.
Missouri Has Already Taken Nebraska Into Camp—Team Goes to Biker Monday Morning
The 'Varsity will play two ball games on the McCook field next week, and one at Baldwin. On Monday the team goes to Baker for the third of the Kausas I. C. League games.
Then on Friday Missouri University will play here, followed by Ottawa on Saturday. Last year we had rather an easy time of it defeating the Missourians on their own grounds, and this spring it is announced that the Tigers are aching to give us a dose of our own medicine. Missouri has already taken the Nebraskans into camp defeating them on Thursday by the decisive and over-whelming score of 19 to 9. This victory and score indicate that the Missouri team is a hummer and that anyone who has expected a walk away with them way in the rear is badly mistaken.
However it is gradually dawning upon people that we have quite a ball team of our own one that with a little improvement in fielding can make it interesting for any team in the west. Missouri too may always be counted upon to send her best and do her utmost to defeat Kansas so the game will be for blood and if we win it will be because the "colts" play the best ball of which they are capable.
Then following Missouri comes the Ottawa game on Saturday. Ottawa has defeated both Baker and Washburn and will probably be our closest competitor for the league pennant. We have already taken Ottawa into camp once, to be sure, but they put up a game fight and if our pitchers should happen to have an off day would make it warm for us.
The "fans" are just beginning to realize what a great ball schedule has been arranged for them and if the weather will only give us half a chances a large crowd should be present at both games. Ellis and Swett will do the pitching.
TUE$DAY'S GREAT DRAW GAME.
Nine to Nine After Thirteen Innings Play
- Both Teams Play Remarkable
The game Tuesday with Nebraska resulted in a victory for the clerk of the bureau. For thirteen innings the game see-saved back and forth and then at the end of the thirteenth, Umpire Hogg upon the request of both captains called the game on account of darkness, with the score nine to nine. This ought to speak for itself.
Certainly never was such a game seen on McCook held before. It was replete with brilliant plays. The game was exciting throughout to say the least, and the finish what would be dubbed hair-splitting.
Both teams at times played remarkable ball. In the box and at the bat the 'Varsity' showed itself superior. In the other department of the game though, in the field, on bases, and in team work, however, it must be admitted that the boys were outplayed by the Nebraskans. Our own "colts" worked hard for every run they got. Poor base running robbed us of a chance for several more. On the other hand nine errors are charged up against the Varsity' and every one of them was costly.
The fielding of the whole Nebraska team was throughout the game positively brilliant. In the thirteen long innings only two errors are charged against them. The work of their outfield was the fastest ever seen here considering the heavy condition of the field. The fielders covered all kinds of ground and threw as hard and as true as if the balls had been shot out of one Commodore Dewey's rifle guns. Probably the star play of the whole game was Bliss' running catch of Ellis' long drive to left center in the tentinning. The hit looked good for three bases and with Sample on first would have won the game. The men in the infield too presented a stone wall front. Nothing got by Kindler at second who accepted eleven chances and what didn't come into his territory Wells and Caugail gobbled. Bliss led the visitors at the bat with two home runs and a single.
The work of the fielders can best he designated as erratic. Sharp fielding and costly errors alternated. At the bat we clearly outclassed the men from Lincoln. Every man on the team got a hit. Curry led with three singles and a triplet, Housh followed close with three hits, Sample and Ellis each got two and Edmondson held up his end by putting the ball over right center field for a home run.
In the box we clearly had the best of it Ellis pitched great ball. Only ten hits in thirteen innings and many of those made
The only two things that marred the game were the weather and the injury of Sample who turned his knee in an endeavor to get back to first in the tent after Bliss' sensational catch of Ellis' drive.
The game opened with Nebraska at the bat and they were retired without a hit or a run. We did better. Carrol, the first man up, drew a base on balls, promptly stole second, took third on Poorman's out, and came home on fielder's choice. Neither side scored in the second. In the third Bliss put the ball over the fence and scored the first tally for the visitors. In our half after Carroll had gone out Poorman landed on the leather for two bases, Housh followed with a single, Curry did the same, scoring Poorman, Swett put up a pop up for Wells and then just to show Bliss that he wasn't the only slugger on the field, Edmondson picked out one of Melford's best and put it out of the lot, making the longest hit ever seen on McCook field.
This made the score five to one and everyone was happy. But in the fourth Nebraska treated itself to fireworks. After there had been two outs, Curry gave Rhodes a life by playing foot-ball with his short grounder in front of the plate. A passed ball, a two base hit and a base on balls followed, and there Bliss got his second home run in the same place, clearing the bases and tieing the score.
Nebraska took the lead in the fifth. Kindler led off with a double, Seeder and Caugill went out in offfield hits, Kindler taking taken third on the latter's out, then Rhea hit to Ellis who tried to catch Kindler at home run with the result that both the latter and Rhea were safe. Rhoades got a hit putting Rhea on second and then Melford hit sharply to Edmondson who threw wide to first. Sweet instead of taking both hands to the ball, kept one foot on the bag and tried a left-handed catch with the result that the ball went to the fence and Rhea scored. Rhoades being caught at the plate. In the sixth. Moore got a life through fielder's choice and scored on Kindler's double, while for us Edmondson made the circuit on an error by Bliss, a passed ball and Ellis 'two bagger.
In the seventh K. U. tied the score. With one out Housh got to first by grace of Rhodes' error and scored one. Curry's timely three bagger, Curry being brought in by Swett's no less timely single. This ended the scoring until the eleventh inning, when Wells got a hit and came home on Edmondson's wild throw to first. This put Nebraska one run ahead, and the next few minutes would tell the tale. Carroll first made up in one half strout, Poorman fouled over to Moore and things "looked dark for the K. U. nine that day"." but Housh came to the rescue with a single and proceeded directly to purloin second. Then Curry got in another one of his timely drives and Housh by a great run and slide scored from the second.
The crowd went wild. The score was tied, the game was saved and Curry was on second. Curry got caught, however, by a quick throw at second and the run getting of the day was ended neither side scoring in the twelfth or thirteenth.
For the last six innings the excitement was intense and the playing as fast and furious as ever seen. Several times Nebraska had a chance to score only to be prevented by superb pitching and beauti-

Lawrence Volunteers Escorted to the Train by Gymnastics Citizens and Students
All Lawrence took a half holiday Tuesday to see the newly recruited company of volunteers leave for Topeka. On Monday noon a mass meeting was called and a holiday announced for the next day. At the same time the students were urged to attend the farewell service to the "boys" at Plymouth church, and it was arranged for the students to take part in the parade escorting Captain Clarke's command to the station.
One division of the procession was made up of students and faculty and it was a monster crowd of college boys and professors that formed the division
The church was packed the next morning long before the services began. The addresses by Mayor Gould, Dr.Cordley, Prof. Blackmar and Captain Clarke were short but soul stirring and to the point. At the close of the services the great parade formed and the march to the depot began.
At the lower end of Winthrop street an open line was formed by all the escorting companies, and the volunteers marched through beneath waving flags and with the cheers of their fellow citizens. The company marched to the east end of the depot platform where it was dismissed to await the arrival of the train.
At the depot there were scenes sad as well as inspiring. Tearful goodbyes were said as well as hearty cheers given so that it was with a mixture of enthusiasm and of sadness that mothers saw their sons, townpeople their neighbors and college boys their fellow students carried away to Topeka. University students enlisted in the company.
Address to the Young Women of the
*Varetty by Miss Ethel Allen.
The disagreeable weather of Thursday prevented a very large attendance at the talk given by Miss Ethel B. Allen of Kansas City to the young women of the Senior class. Those present were, however, more than compensated for the disagreeable trip up the hill.
Miss Allen is a woman of charming personality, and is very well known here. She graduated with honors in '82 and returned for her master's degree in '85. Since that time she has been very prominent in literary and club work and is now president of the Kansas City branch of the association of collegiate alumni, concerning which she spoke. The association, Miss Allen said, is composed of graduates from nineteen of the most prominent colleges in the country, among them being Cornell Stanford, Chicago, Vassar, Bryn Maur and Wellesley. It is conducted on sirtly business principles being supported by an annual tax of ount dollar on every member. The first work of the organization was in collecting statistics of the physical ability of women to pursue a collegiate course. These statistics have been of inestimable value.
The association is now interested in the matter of fellowships, three of which it supports. One of these, a European fellowship has twice been held by graduates of Kansas University, namely Miss Nannie Pugh and Miss Anna McKinnon, both of whom are now teaching at Wells学院.
At present this association is behind a movement to endow a table for the use of women at the laboratory of the aquarium of Naples. The table will be in recognition of the kindness of Prof. Doehrn to American pupils.

Organ Recital.
On Wednesday afternoon occurred the regular bi-weekly organ recital. Prof. Penny was assisted by Prof. Farrel who sang with much expression and accuracy. Everyone declares that his voice has been wonderfully transformed while he has been in Europe. Among Prof. Penny's best numbers was the first on the program, being an Overture to "Olympia." It was full of brilliant movements and ended with a strong climax. All of his numbers were good and much enjoyed by the small audience present. One of the most novel pieces was the Triumphal March from "Nooman" by Costa. He was assisted in this by Jno Merrill and Cecil Wickstrom. Mr. Merrill played cornet and Mr. Wickstrom played the small drum. The effect was very pleasing. Another much enjoyed piece was one entitled "Songs of the Night," by Spinney. It was played with much feeling by Prof. Penny. The recital was the best one so far given by Mr. Penny and deserved a much larger audience than was present, although considering the weather the size of the crowd was fair. Next Wednesday there will be a piano recital.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MAY 7.1898
The Nebraska ball game would seem to be a pretty good starter for the ball season.
We want not only to win the Meet next Monday but to win more points than alp the other colleges besides.
Twice have we humbled the pride of the strutting Missourians on the ball field. Remember these timesis the charm.
We venture the assertion that during at least the last inning of Tuesday's game, 300 American citizens forgot all about the war with Spain.
In refusing to publish the Chancellor's letter as well as in distorting his original reply, the Voice shows itself to be just what it is, a sensational journal of the yellowest kind.
In a letter to Manager Snuder before the game Manager Ryons of the Nebraska buil队 team expressed the hope that the game would be a hummer. We tr st that Mr. Ryons was satisfied.
To the few who were present at the Field Meet a week ago Friday it was evident that the University was possessed of exceptionally strong material for a track team. For the first time in years there has been a definite purpose in view towards which the track and field athletes might work. This purpose has been to win the State Meet and whether it can be accomplished or not is to be determined next Monday. A half holiday has been declared for that day and everyone should go out to the Fair grounds to see the Varsity won a contest which bids fair to res live itself into K. U. against the field.
The game with Nebraska has done much to revive interest in baseball. It has set everyone to talking about the game and the team. The last six innings of Tuesday's game were as pretty an exhibition of ball playing as one often sees. The whole thirteen innings were as exciting as a football game or a dead heat horse race. It is to be hoped that the interest aroused by this record breaking, thirteen innning draw will not be confined to telling how the game might have been won. If local interest in the great national game shall be confined to this sort of buncombe, we shall be much disappointed. It will not be treating either the team or manager right. We have this year the greatest base ball schedule ever offered to the students of the University of Kansas. We have in many respects the best ball team that ever wore the crimson uniform. The first is the result of the perseverance and energy of manager. The second comes from hard, faithful practice by the team. Both are worthy of your support. Next week the striped legged Tigers from Missouri will be here to cross bats with the 'Varsity and when the umpires play ball we hope to see not two or three hundred students on the field but at least double that number.
It has often been wondered why there is no military instruction at this institution. In a majority of the state Universities of the west such instruction is given by a United States army officer detailed for the purpose. There are
many advantages in making military tactics a feature of the collegiate training. Outside of any wartime reasons it offers an admirable course in physical training and that of a pleasant character. Its principal advantage, however, lies, in the military training as such. If followed in all our state Universities it would result in turning out into life every spring hundreds of men well drilled and disciplined and competent to fill out the ranks of the skeleton militia and regular army regiments in time of war. It is true that such drill and training lacks much of being real military experience, yet this playing soldier is better than no soldiers at all.
FICTING CAMPUS NOMENCLATURE
With the christening of the Physics building as Blake Hall and with the erection of the Fowler Machine shops, every building on the campus with the exception of the Chemistry building will have been named in honor of some one connected with the University either as a benefactor or professor. As far as the Chemistry building is concerned, it will probably retain its present name until torn down. Certainly no living man would feel highly honored by being made the foster-father of such a disreputable looking structure. He would feel it, rather as an insult than otherwise. As for naming it after any of our illustrious dead, such an act would be sufficient to cause any self respecting ghost "to walk the night" "Chemistry building," it will probably always remain until it falls to pieces of decay or until a not hither over generous state gives us another in its place.
As to the other buildings it is evidently fitting that they should bear the names of the University's friends. The characterization of an institution of learning's halls as Main building, Physics building, etc., savors too much of the big mercantile or manufacturing establishments, as for instance of a packing house where immense and costly structures are dignified by such names as Main office, Beef house, Butterine department.
Besides removing this commercial air from college surroundings, it is a graceful way of acknowledging a man's services For the philanthropist whose generosity has made possible such a building it means lasting evidence of his generosity and public spirit.
For the professor, whose humble unostentatious toil has made the instruction given within the building of value it means more
It means the love and reverence of classes yet unborn. Every college student learns to love his Alma Mater. When he leaves her, it is with a veneration for her walls and of the deepest reverence for the names which the buildings bear. He fancies to himself how these old timers must have looked and acted, and feels as he reads the name of some former instructor emblazoned on the structure, that his spirit still pervades the building.
It is not altogether certain that all this is of any comfort to a man when he is dead, but the knowledge of it is certainly a cause of gratification to his descendants, and the thought that he has left behind him as the seal of his life's work a visible monument to his virtue and his worth must be a source of infinite satisfaction to him in his declining years.
WE SAY SO TOO.
The Daily Cardinal of the University of Wisconsin under the head of "Thre Are Others," gives vent to the following: "Editing this paper is a nice business. If we publish jokes people say we are 'rattle-headed.' If we don't we are an old fossil. If we publish original matter they say we don't give them enough selections. If we do give them selections they say we are too lazy to write. If we remain in the office we ought to go out and hustle for 'locals'; if we go out then we are not attending to our business. If we don't go to church we are a heathen. If we do them we are a hypocrite. If we wear old clothes they laugh at us; if we wear good ones they say we have a "pull." Now, what are we to do? Just as likely as not some one will say we stole this item from exchanges. We did—"
The Rev. Henry Hopkins, D., D. of the First Congregational church of Kansas City, Mo., delivered the annual sermon before the Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Association last Sunday evening. Evening services at all the churches were forgone for that night and the University chapel was well filled. Dr. Hopkins spoke from the text, "And if any man will come after me, let him take up his cross and follow me."

One of the greatest demonstrations ever witnessed by Lawrence people was made at the depot Monday morning when the volunteer company left for Topeka.
THE TATTLER.
The Tattler's Senior Law friend ca. Hripping into the office last Thursday but his rain coat on the bust of Cicero on the top of the desk and gave utterance to a torrent of expletives. The Tattler looked up from the tale he was writing and after sympathetic inquiry heard the following sad story. Not a week before the Laws were directed to procure new legal works and thereupon the Senior Law hied him to Gibbs purchased him the coveted volume and returned to his club keeping it by dint of hardest effort out of the April flood. Not only did he procure the book, but he sat up that night and two succeeding nights and read it. The gentle wind stirred in the lofty trees and the raid dropped soothingly on the tin roof outside the window, but the Senior Law worked on, setting his alarm from hour to hour so that he might not sleep long over his book. In class next day he progressed favorably. This was because he was not called upon. But on the third day the Great Green laid before him a kottny question in the law for him to explain. Never had he heard its like before. Then inquiries were made only to furnish the sickening revelation that the Senior Law had procured 'the wrong book and had spent these sleepless nights upon it. Worst of all, the Senior Laws friends would not believe that he had read what he claimed. Then was the tattler moved and laid aside his quill to give his assent that such actions on the part of book sellers and such ruthless distrust on the part of friends are what make life unbearable. And the Tattler sympathetically told the Senior Law that in great trials such as this, all men must suffer alone.
SNOW HALL.
Another change has been made in the time and place of the Biological club's weekly meeting and judging from the number of students that were present Wednesdays evening it is a happy change. There were about sixty instructors and students out to listen to a very interesting talk by Prof. Barber on "The Malaria Germ," in which he reviewed Dr. Thurper's paper on the different forms of germs in the various kinds of fevers and the methods of their increasing and spreading, Prof. Hunter gave a talk upon the "San Jose Scale" giving its life, history and the best method of exterminating it. He gave it as his belief that so far Kansas is free from the pest.
It is the object of the lesson usus each week some important subject and thus enable all who so desire to obtain a knowledge that would be impossible in any other way. One or another of the instructors subscribe for all the important scientific papers and in these are accounts of all the recent and current advances and discoveries made in the world of science. All the important facts of these articles are brought up in the weekly meetings and afterward openly discussed by anyone wishing to participate.
Hereafter it is to be the privilege of a student to participate in these meetings. If he has found something of interest he is after speaking of discussing the subject with his instructors expected to tell of it before the club thus getting the advantage of his instructor's knowledge and speaking before an audience.
The club owing to the difficulty that students found in attending the 5 o'clock meetings has changed its hour to 4 o'clock and now meets in the lecture room of Snow Hall where anyone and everyone will be welcome.
Dr. Williston accompanied by Prof,
Sayre attended the graduating exercises of Woman's Medical school of Kansas City last week where the former delivered the graduation address.
Dr. Williston expects to be able to fit out with the proceeds of the recent sale of fossils to the National museum, an expedition which will start out ab out the mid dale of May. The party compries Messrs. Wagner, Prentice and Stewart.
Mr. Beede is to go to the southeastern part of the state to search for some Paleocore fossils which are not represented in our museum.
Prof. Dyche is so busy with his classes this year that he is unable to do any Taxidermy work. Mr. Bunker is however preparing and mounting a number of birds.
In one of the summer numbers of the Popular Science Monthly there will be an elaborate description with illustrations of our museums.
The work in Zoology I is much more complete than ever before, owing to Prof. Dyche's visit to the Soopkins seaside Laboratory last summer where he acquired a large quantity of material that he has been unable to give his classes heretofore. The class has thus far studied the cray fish, crab, clam, squid, grosshopper and starfish and are now studying the worm.

Professor Blackmar and the class relumoured on the 7 o'clock train, highly delighted at the hospitality received at the hands of Warden Landis and his assistants and highly gratified at the result of the day's investigation.
After the inspection Warden Landis addressed to the students an interesting and instructive talk on the theory and practice of prison manag ement and discipline. Mr. Landis has advanced ideas in regard to treatment of prisoners and is aeady to carry out his plans as soon as the state will permit.

Thirty-one of the students went down a mine and were conducted to the place where the workmen were mining coal. The class having been interested in such subjects by Professor Blackmar carefully inspected methods of labor, management of prisoners, punishment, sanitation, hospital, library, education, statistics of entrance records, genera prison management, classification of prisoners, and cell houses.

Kansas Lawyer Election
The class, when it reached the state penitentiary at Leavenworth was divided into squads under the charge of guides who were instructed to answer all questions.
On last Monday a very bitter contest was waged by the numbers of the Junior Law class, in electing officers for the "Kansas Lawyer" for the ensuing year.
Inspects the Pententiary.
Impress the Pentitianary.
It rained heavy Friday night and at 7 o'clock Saturday morning the storm had not abated. The railroad agent thought that the proposed excursion to Leavenworth of Professor Blackmar's class in Seciology would be postponed. The warden of the penitentiary thought that there would not be any visitors that day. Professor Blackmar went to the station expecting to find a few straggling students but when the train was to carry his class on its mission of knowledge seeking steamed up to the station, thirty-eight students, of which number twenty were girls, were ready for the expedition. Professor Blackmar said to a representative of the WEEKLY,
"It was an expedition of earnestness and pluck."
The paper should be congratulated on having had selected so many able men to determine its course. The paper this year has been a roaring success, and we see no reason why it shouldn't be a little better next year.

An Uneventful May Day.
Always Open
No excitement characterized the May day of '98. The Chancellor placed a number of guards at the University Sunday night and although a number of Freshmen made their appearance, they slunk away quickly in the darkness.
Nate tells a story on the Freshman who was most daring, as follows:
After repeated attempts to steal the overgreen decorations for the Junior promote, the Sophs contented themselves by trying to sprinkle the party with a hose. They succeeded in wetting a few feet of the floor only.
"He was creeping around the corner of the stone fence opposite the Library building when a guard appeared from behind and told him to halt. Contrary to orders this Freshman broke into a run The guard called for another watchman to head him off, and then was when the race began Across Woodward's stone fence, through the trees, and down the hill sprang the Freshman. He soon outran his followers but the next morning they followed his tracks and found where he rushed back and forth across the tennis court at the foot of the bill trying to escape. A committee is hunting for a Freshman who bears scars on his face made by the meshes of that wire fencing.
On the way to the party Jim Snyder lost his necktie to a pranky Soph and Steele had to wear a light linen coat because some one had relieved him of his dress coat. Several girls also appeared in borrowed finery because their party gowns were missing

CHANCELLOR SNOW AND THE VOICE
His Reply and the Voice's Distortion of it - The Temperance Organ Responses to Publish the Correspondence:
There has been some comment on the unwarranted placing of Chancellor Snow's name among the "only two college presidents who stand up to be counted as favoring a liquor resort." The WEEKLY publishes below in full the correspondence between the Chancellor and the Voice both before and after the issue of the Voice of April 14, in which the so-called "standing up" is chronicled.
Shortly after the crusade of the Voice against the Princeton Inn, the following letter was sent out to all American college presidents:
New York, December 8, 1897.
Dear Sir:
EDITORIAL ROOMS OF "THE VOICE."
The questions below fully explain them.
selves. Would you kindly indicate brief
replies to them and mail to us in the enclosed envelope? The favor, we assure
you, will be highly esteemed.
Respectfully.
EDITOR OF "THE VOICE."
1. Are you of the opinion that an elab orately furnished and attractive drinking-place for s u'lentures, under the patronage and direction of professors and trustees of a college, serves to lesson the evils of interpenance among students by keeping them away from less republiable saloons, or in any other way?
Meeting these questions fairly and squarely in the spirit in which they could only be construed from the wording, that of a disposition to have both inquiries answered from the standpoint of the best way to fight intemperance, under different surroundings, the Chancellor replied:
2. What steps, if any, has your institution taken, either directly or indirectly, toward preventing or discouraging drinking practices among your students?
LAWRENCE, II Dec., 1897,
Editor Voice, New York City.
Dear Sir. - In answer to your inquiries I will say:
1 I am of the opinion that the Princeton Inn, under the restriction which I know to exist in its management, is on the whole of service to lessen the evils of intemperance among students.
2. In Kansas all sale of liquor is prohibited by the constitution and by legislative action, consequently we are not troubled with the dangers of public drinking places. The faculty of this University use their influence to in every way discourage drinking among students. This they do by regulir instruction in the department of Hygiene on the evils and dangers of the use of alcohol drink and in making it a misdemeanor to use intoxicating liquors to excess. In the past ten years we have expelled and suspended about a dozen students for drinking.
Yours sincerely.
Chancellor
This reply limiting the answer to the first question to Princeton alone is twisted and contorted by the Voice into a general statement favoring what "The Voice" calls "respectable drink shops" and the Chancellor heralded to the world as their champion. Such an unwarranted construction of a letter bearing upon its face evidence of hostility to intemperance and a disposition to judge of the measures most expedient to lessen drinking in each individual college by its own peculiar condition, called forth the following from the Chancellor:
Editor Voice:
My attention has been called to your issue of April 14th, in which you place me before the public as one of two American college presidents who "stand up to be counted as favoring a liquor resort of a highly respectable character as promoting temperance among college students." This is a false and libellous statement, and I call upon you to retract it. I have always been and am now a prohibitionist and will not be counted as favoring "a liquor resort" of any kind. My reply to your inquiry sent out to the college presidents last December was very similar to that of President Eliot, as any one can see by reading my letter. My information concerning the character of the Princeton Inn was derived from "The Outlook" of

Nov, 20th, 1897, in which it is stated that "It is a well conducted inn of a high claes having an excellent reputation. It has no bar, unless a sort of counter over which a mug of beer or something to eat may be handed to the waiter who is serving a guest at the table, may be so entitled. The rules of the inn do not allow distilled liquors to be sold to the students; nor even beer to be sold except to upper-class men." It was and is my opinion that such a hotel in a town where the license policy prevails may serve to lessen the evils of intemperance among students by keeping them away from disreputable resorts, and I am of the opinion that the great majority of those presidents whom you have quoted as answering "No" to your inquiry will agree with me on this point
You will oblige me by printing this communication, and also my communication of Dec. 11th, in your next issue.
821 Mass. St.
F. ·H.SNOW,
F. •H. Snow,
Chancellor of the University of Kansas.
The Voice has declined to publish the Chancellor's letter and the only thing left to do seems to be to place the correspondence before the public. The letter refusing to publish says that the Voice can see little similarity between the Chancellor's and President Eliot's response.
Any member of these classes is eligible, but application must be made to the proper committee before the end of this month.
The reply of President Eliot, of Harvard university, to which the Chancellor refers as being practically his own in substance and spirit it as follows:
"It by drinking place you mean a novel I think it might in a city or town where a license-policy prevails. If you mean a bar—that is, a place for drinking alchoic drinks without eating—I think a bar always dangerous to the public health and morals. In a place where the no-license policy prevails—like Cambridge for example--your question would always be answered in the negative."
And yet President Eliot is placed among the negatives and Chancellor Snow among the affirmatives upon a proposition which neither directly answered in the form put, simply because the question admits of no general answer but must be determined by the environment.
Next years Juniors and Seniors in the schools of Arts and Engineering should keep in mind the D. H. Robinson memorial scholarship supported by the alumni association of these schools.
Who Will Get It?
This scholarship is worth $100 a year and is a general one. Last year it was held by R. R. Price of Hutchinson and this year by Alfred M. Myers of Peabody. The committee having the matter in charge is composed of Profs. Stevens, Carnruth, Martin, Franklin and Barber.
Senior Play Rehearsing,
Seniors have commenced to rehearse the play in earnest. From present indication this will be one of the most popular plays ever given by a senior class. It was written entirely by local talent and some of the "hits" are said to be rich.
Judge Dobson of Kansas City, who has been instructing the Senior laws on Corporations, has just finished his course and s succeeded by Dr. Summerfield who will teach Equity Practice.

Colleges Represented.
The state intercollegiate meet which will be held at the fair grounds next Monday afternoon, will be the greatest athletic event of the year. Track teams from Ottawa, Fairmount, College of Wichita, Midland, Washburn, College of Emporia, State Normal, State Agricultural College, Haskell Institute and Kansas University will compete.
A number of local records have been broken by the different colleges and every event will be very close.
The meet will begin promptly at two o'clock and as the number of eveals is very large, two will take place at the same time.
The Schmelzer Arms Co's.. trophy cup will be given to the college securing the greatest number of points, and medals will be given to competitors who obtain first and second places in each event.
First place in any event scores five, second place three, and third place one.
The track team has been in constant training since the college meet and every member is prepared to do his best.
We must uphold the honor of Kansas University and proper support of the team by the student body will do it.
A feature of the afternoon, s sport will be a relay ra , the first ever held in this part of the country. The race is said to be the most exciting of any sort of sport except football. Each college's relay team consists of four men, each man running a quarter of a mile and then being replaced by another. This makes it a sprint all the way around.
For the convenience of the crowd, arrangements have been made with the street car company by which cars will be run to the gate.
Prof. Bailey went to Newton last week in order to give expert testimony. He will decide as to the kind of drinks they have in that town, there being some doubs as to whether it is hop tea or beer.

Miss Jutta June Phillips of Kansas Cit is a pledged Theta.
Miss Mable Henry is expecting a visit from her mother.
The Betas had a small hop on Monday night.
The reception given by Mrs. Peter Emery at the Thacher house on south Tennessee street last Saturday afternoon was in honor of the young women of Pi Beta Phi fraternity, and was a most delightful affair. The house was elaborately decorated with cut flowers, particularly the dining room, where dainty refreshments were served throughout the afternoon. Mrs. Emery was assisted in receiving by miss Ethel Allen of Kansas City, Mrs. Douglas Hamilton, Miss Daisy Cockins. Mrs. Arthur Weaver and Miss Edith Snow.
On last Friday evening the Junior Laws celebrated their first annual prom enamel. Journal hall was decorated as it never was before. Long wreaths of evergreens adorned the walls, and plants could be seen everywhere about the room. Ice cream and punch were served throughout the evening, and music was furnished by Buch's orchestra. Guests of honor were Prof. and Mrs. J W Green and Prof. and Mrs. W. B. Brownell.
A young fraternity lady, coming out of the front basement entrance of Frazer hall on last Monday at noon, was heard to make the remark, "A law should be passed against Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma XI." The writer, who is a member of one of these organizations, can assure the young lady that if such a law were passed, it would never affect her in the least.
Miss Mary Hartman spent Sunday at home in Carbondale.
The members of the Pe Beta Phi celebrated the thirty-first anniversary of the founding-of their fraternity Saturday night with a characteristically jolly cookey-shine at the home of Miss Harriet Robinson in West Lawrence. The affair was planned and given to the older girls of the society by this year's initiatives and the pledgings. In addition to the usual spread Richard Harding Davis' farce, 'The Anonymous Letter' was very cleverly presented also an up to date version of the balcony scene from "Romeo and Juliet." The amateur actresses were Misses Leach, Baker, Smith, T Miller, Bangs and Bullen.
Miss Laura Pierce of Wichita put on the Pi Phi colors Thursday morning. Miss Pierce entered the music school the first of this half term.
Miss Florence Farrott will spend the summer studying in Berlin.
The Kappas held their postponed initiation last Saturday night in a vacant house on Rhode Island street. Misses Daisy Wickstrom, Bella Jones and Chatty Hobson were admitted.
The University Whist club met Friday night at Miss Ota Nicholson's on Ohio street.
Dr Ewing has been visiting his sister,

The Barbs gave an informal dancing party last Saturday night.
Smilax, evergreens and Phi Delt colors were the decorations used at the annual dancing party give by the Kansas Alpha of Phi Delta Theta to their friends on Friday, April 29, at Pythian hall. A very pretty effect, that of lattice work was wrought in smilax at the west end of the room in front of the musicians. Although the night was dreadful without, the Phi Delts gave a very beautiful party. The effect was even dramatic at times with heavy peaks of thunder, long streaks of vivid lightning and beating rain out of doors, while within there was music, light and gaiety. Music was furnished by Zim-

Patriotism and class spirit ran high on Thursday night when the class of '99 was host at the Annual Promenade giver to the Senior class. The decoration largely consisted of American flags in honor of the K. U. boys who had enlisted, and of the class colors of '98 and '99. All the way round the room heavy ropes of evergreen hung in festoons caught up by electric bulbs imbedded in paper flowers in '99's colors. Evergreen was used in the K. U. emblems on the east wall and letters of evergreen formed the words "Junior Promenade" on the south wall. The great flag that usually floats from the high top of Fraser hall was beautiful drapery for the north wall and formed the back ground for an electrical design consisting of the numerals '99 which later in the evening was changed to '98 in honor of the guests of the occasion. At the door, guests were received by Miss Elizabeth Stone, Mr. Arthur Ideand, Mr. Cecil Fiester and the entire class acted as entertainment committee. The first part of the evening was devoted to a reception for those who did not dance. At ten o'clock dancing began and the grand march was led by Miss Bertha Bowen, president of '99 and Mr. Frank Pratt. Refreshments consisting of ices, wafers and coffee were served throughout the evening.

On Tuesday night Music hall was the scene of more hilarity to the square inch than has been indulged in for some time by University students and towns people. The occasion was a "tacky party" given by the Euterpe club and was a howling, screeching success from every point of view. The costumes were something rare to behold there being all possible varities from "Uncle Sam" Cook to "Farmer" Farrell. The German band again favored the music loving public, except that it was part African and the other part American. The drum major was Prof. Clark, who deserves honorable mention for the manner in which he handled his aggregation of music makers. The band played "Marching Through Georgia" for the grand march and after making a tour of the room itself retired in favor of other musicians. Johnny Merrill the "Fool" and Mabel Fisher played a very catchy selection on the violin and guitar but up to the present writing nobody has advanced a theory as to the name of the piece. "Grandma" McShea sang with much feeling that beautiful song "Juanita" but the feeling was surely one of pain. "Country Jay" Preyer and "Farmer" Farrel were called in from the backwoods and played a boe down for the Virginia reel. Virgie McCrory and Louise Wiedemann played for the quadrille. The liquid refreshments were contained in a large barre in the middle of the room and all that can be said of it was that it was moderately wet. The other refreshments were peanuts and stick candy. At one end of the stage was the fortune teller's tent where the fortunes of the guests were revealed. Dancing was in dulden in for a great part of the evening "Samba" Lee and Carlos Cooper furnished the symphonic movements for this part of the entertainment.
merscheid the orchestra of Kansas City. The grand march was led by Mr. Alonzo Wilcox and Miss Zilla Smith, during which very tasteful and beautiful programs were given out by Mr. Frank Banks and Miss Laura Poehler. Punch was served down stairs, and in the balcony refreshments were served all evening. A large number of out of town guests were present on this occasion, including a number of society people from Topeka.
THE MODERN BUSINESS SCHOOL.
Around the room were many warning signs such as "keep off the grass," and "no land lalkind," and such placards as "prezerved beets," and "baul headed row." This high carnival lasted unabated until about 11 o'clock when the crowd reluct. antially dispersed.

EASY FOR K. U.
FIRST K. I.C.A. A.MEET RESULTS IN A VICTORY FOR THE CRIMSON AND THE BLUE.
111 Points Against 23 by All Others Combined—The Winners.
Kansas won the first field meet of the 1-C. A. A. last Monday hands down, making 111 points against 23 by the other teams combined. For some reason only Ottawa and Haskell sent representatives to the Meet besides K. U. Teams from both Baker and Washburn at least were expected in addition but failed to materialize
The day was an abominable one for any sort of an athletic event. A fine rain fell all afternoon. This not only resulted in a small attendance, but made the track heavy and the time slow.
Considering the shape of the track the time made on the runs was quite remarkable and gave added weight to the idea fast becoming prevalent that we have a first class track team. The work in the field events was equally good and the faithful "cranks" that went to the meet despite the rain and mud were rewarded by seeing first class sport.
The feature of the afternoon was the running of Molton,
In the 220 yard dash he covered the distance in 22 3-5 seconds, just one second above the world's record, perhaps more remarkable, still was his time for the quarter mile in the relay race 52 1-5 seconds, for it must be remembered that this race was the last event on the program and was not brought off before five o'clock or after three hour steady rain on the track.
The meet opened like all similar affairs with the hundred vards dash. As Mr. H. R. Pottery of Kansas City who had been chosen started pulled the trigger. Davidson and Speak got off well in front.. Molton took the lead about half way down the stretch and finished first with Speak second, Davidson third, and Haskell and Ottawa in the rear. Time to 4-5 seconds.
Putting the shot the next event, also scored nine points for us. Mosse winning with 37 feet, 6 inches with Hammil second and Ayery third.
Bent of Haskell took the lead from the start in the half mile run with Owens next. The Indian was setting a hot clip but couldn't last and Owens passed him a little beyond the quarter but Owens was winded too and Wilder took the lead at the three-eights mark and sustained it to the finish, winning in 2 minutes, 12 seconds; Hamilton, K. U., third.
The standing high jump resulted in an easy victory for us. Peticord won on 4 feet $6 \frac{1}{2}$ inches, Carroll second, Rench third.
First, second and third fell to our lot again in the hammer throw, which resulted in a victory for Mosse. Hammill second, Avery third, distance 101 feet, three inches.
So far the 'Varsity had been making nine points at a chip winning first, second and third in all the events, but Haskell broke the ice in the running high jump. Moonlight getting third while Carroll, K. U., and Alexander, K. U., second. Best jumping 5 feet 3 inches.
The 220 yards dash was won easily by Molton, Davidson second, Smith third, time 22.4 seconds.
Haskell scored again in the 100 yard hurdle, getting third while Alexander and Carroll respectively took first and second. Time 18:4-5 seconds.
The next event, the mile walk, was the only event in which we did not get fir t. Dubach of Ottawa won this event with Wregat of Ottawa second and Baker, Kansas university third. Time 8 minutes 30 seconds.
Speak, K. U., won the 440 yards dash with Kerfoot, K. U., second and Smith, K S, third. Time 55 3-5 seconds.
Sanderson won the pole vault for us in fine style with Carroll second and Bounin of Haskell, third. Vault 9 feet, 6 inches.
Honors in the mile run were divided up. Hamilton of K. U. go first, Lambertson of Ottawa second, and Tallchief # of Haskell third. The track was by this time well soaked and the time was slow 8 minutes, 30 2-5 seconds.
of Haskell third; distance 18 feet, 10 inches.
Alexander of K. U. and Morris were the only entries for the 220 yard hurdle and Alexander won handily in 27-2-5 seconds. Carroll cinched the making of the most points in the meet by adding the five points of another first to his other points by winning the running broad jump, Sanderson second, Dagnett
In the last event of the day the relay race our team was never headed. Davidson in the first quarter took the lead at the start and though pressed hard by one of the Indians for the first hundred yards was at the quarter pole in one minute flat yards and yards ahead of the Indian and with Ottawa way in the rear. Smith here took up the *race* and increased the lead still more, finishing his quarter in 1 minute also. Then came the great Molton, and the way he tore around that track, muddy as it was, alone worth the price of admission. He finished his quarter in 52 1-5 seconds and there Speak took it up finishing in 56 seconds making 3 minutes 48 1-5 seconds for the mile. Haskell finished scored and Ottawa third.
Ottawa scored first, three seconds and a third, in all 15 points and Haskell a second and five thirds or 8 points.
The 'Uarsity altogether second fourteen firsts, eleven seconds, and eight thirds, making in all 111 points.
Kansas university won most of the events and thus wins the trophy donated by the Schmelzer Arms company. Ed Carroll wins the fine umbrella offered by the chancellor to the student winning the largest number of points for Kansas university.
ADOPTS COURSE OF STUDY FOR HIGH SCHOOLS.
Meeting of Committee on High School Revision in Chancellor's Office
VOL. VI. No.13.
On Friday of last week the committee on the revision of the high school courses of study appointed by the city superintendents and city principals, sections of the State Teachers Association at its meeting last December, held its second session at the Chancellor's office.
State Superintendent Stryker was selected as chairman and Chancellor Snow, Professors Williston and Blackmar, Superintendents Smith of Lawrence, Davidson of Topeka, Barker of Great Bend, Madden of Neodesha and Principal Allin of the Paola High school were the others present.
Prof. Hopkins was invited before the committee for consultation as to the amount of English required for admission as Freshmen.
In accordance with the recently revised requirements for admission it was carried upon motion of Dr. Williston that two years of German, French or Greek might be substituted for two years of English. It was further provided that where a high school calls for a four year's course the English is to comprise a part of the fourth year's work.
The new grouping and other changes in high school work decided upon by the committee are in direct line with the recently adopted modifications in admission requirements for the University. At the first meeting of the committee held in the state superintendent's office, Chancellor Snow was requested to ask the Board of Regents to appoint some one to inspect the work of the high schools and at last week's session it was furthermore provided that Superintendent Styker should enter into correspondence with the various high schools with a view to the proper grouping of their studies, such grouping to be afterwards submitted to the University faculty for inspection
In addition to these measures looking to a closer union of the University and the high schools, a committee was appointed consisting of Superintendent Styker, Professor Blackmar, Superintendent Smith of Lawrence and Dr. Williston to prepare two suggested courses in manual training, one for boys and one for girls.
Chancellor's Reception to Seniors Friday Night
The chancellor's reception to the seniors in all departments will be held on Friday evening, May 20, at the chancellor's residence. This reception is an annual affair, and is one of the pleasantest, longest remembered social functions of the Senior year.
Professor Carruth delivered the commencement address before the high school at Osage City, last Friday evening.
HOW THE DE- BATE WAS WON.
THE BOYS BRING A LINCOLN PAPER
HOME WITH TREM
Treated Royally While At Nebraska—So Say the Boys
Decker, Layton, and Cheadle have returned from Lincoln. They speak in the highest terms of their treatment from the Nebraskans.
For first to last, upon their arrival, during and after the debate, the boys say they were treated royally. They all speak in the highest terms of the spirit shown towards them by the students and faculty of our northern rival. As to the debate itself, the boys are rather reticent prefering not to blow their own horns. One of the boys however brought back with him the following account of the debate clipped from the Nebraska State Journal.
"The decision of the judges was for Kansas; that is the record of the inter-collegiate debate between the University of Kansas and that of Nebraska at the Funke last night. The total aggregate by sides was 801 points for the affirmative and Kansas, and 686 points for the University of Nebaska. The debaters representing Kansas were: J. B. Cheadle, W. A. Layton, and Pearl Decker; those for the home college, E. F. Warner, C. E, Matson and E. B. Perry.
Jacob Sims, for the judges, who were all from Sincil Bluffs, Ia., made an announcement of the finding J. C. Hisey and Victor E. Bender were his colleagues Superintendent J. F. Saylor presided over the meeting. Immediately after the de-bate an informal reception was held for the debaters on the stage. A large crowd tiled through the narrow entrance to shake hands with the contestants and congratulate the winners.
The question, which was very ably debaled, was one of the relative merits of the American and English systems of government. The arguments of every one of the contestants showed that much study and careful thought had entered into the preparation. There was a poor attendance considering the importance of the occasion n university life.
Both audience and debaters were slow in gathering. It was nearly 9 o'clock before Superintendent Saylor announced the vocal solo by Carl Tucker, which was to open the program, but no Mr. Tucker appeared, hence there was no music. Mr. Saylor took occasion to make a few remarks touching upon the matter of debate in college life. "As long as the human mind has a message to convey," he said, "so long will there be a demand for the advocate the debater." He dwelt at greater length upon the essential functions of public life in their inseparable relation to the practice of discussion, and debate. Closing, with the consent of the debaters, he read the question, modified to appear, "Resolved, That the English Cabinet System of Government Would be Better for the United States Than the Congressional System."
J. B. Kheadle of the Kansas university was introduced to handle the affirmative.
Mr. Cheadle struck a responsive chord when he hoped the prejudices between the universities which might have been engendered on the fields might be forgotten on this. In opening he said:
"The highest type of government is the one which most happily and best serves the popular will." Continuing, he outlined the form and functions of the government of England. He maintained that there majorities rule, while in this country the government works on an elaborate system of checks and balances, built on a distrust of majorities and best adapted to allow minorities to defeat the will of greater bodies. He contended that ours was a constitution which defied all attempts toward progress, one built up of rigid, "thou shalt nots."
Mr. Cheadle is a smooth, though mild speaker, who does not work himself up to a pitch necessitating guesture. He is slender and slightly built, with a voice inclined to be in consonance with his physical mould.
The negative was opened by E. F. Warner. He contended that it was necessary for the opposition to show that the

foreign system of government which they advocate will work in this country better than the existing form of government. That it will work here in spite of the traditions and habits of thinking of a hundred years.
He contended that it was prespterouso to hold in the face of fact, that the English government is more representative of the popular will than that of the United States. He admitted that there was unity of action in the English government. There must always be, where monarchies are in power. Better than such unity of action, characteristic of the government of this country.
Mr. Warner speaks with earnestness yet sometimes hesitant, and gesticulates much with one hand. His argument was plain but well put together.
W. A. Layton, following for Kansas and the affirmative, outlined some of the failings of our government and suggested a remedy. He decried the practice of carrying on legislation behind closed doors through the instrumentality of the committee system. He thought the English cabinet system would alleviate these evils.
He contended that the government had sooner united on the course of the nation in regard to intervention in Cuba had ours been a government similar to that of England.
Mr. Layton is a more eloquent and magnetic speaker than his predecessors. He is small and dark with bright eyes, a clear penetrating voice and pleasing manners.
E. B. Perry followed on the negative.
He started in without prelude to tear down
the argument of his opponent. He asked
a series of questions, leaving a copy
on the desk for their convenience in
answering. Fluent oratory is not Mr. Perry's
stronghold. His forte is in meeting the
enemy upon his own ground and makin'
it exceedingly warm for him. Taking the
opposition at their own word, Mr. Perry
contended that the only check upon the
representatives of the English government is
revolution by the people, and such a
government he thought a very bad one.
Pearl Decker, the third speaker on the affirmative, was the little giant of the debate. His utterances, together with his unusual personality, put the audience irrespective of partisanship wholly in sympathy with him He started in at once) answer the questions left him by his predecessors. In doing so he likened the government at Washington to a house ruled by "Molle, the cook and Mrs. G," the cook and mistress never meeting each other and never making their respective wants known to each other save by means of written communications, sent at great intervals. Continuing he grew earnest and impassioned, and referring to terms of office he said "We measure the usefulness of our executive not by his efficiency but by calender months." Continuing he summed historically the course of the British government, characterizing it as a history of successes. In applying its working to this nation he showed how present abuses might be remedied.
C. E. Watson closed for the negative He pointed out that the question of slavery in this country has been de cided and the constitution still survives He significantly asked how it is that with the so-called perfect system of English government that country has been un-

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MAY 14, 1898
This is a trying time for students with rumors of reported battles and expected engagements it is very difficult to buckle down to work.
Did some one express the fear early in the spring that we could not develop a successful track team? If he did let him no longer think himself a prophet.
The WEEKLY is to be congratulated upon the selection of Mr. Guy Seeds as editor-in-chief for the term Mr. Seeds is fully competent for the position both in the matter of ability and experience.
Can it be that Baker is afraid to meet us in athletics? The absence of her expected track team at th state meet and her refusal to play ball Monday would certainly indicate that our friends at Baldwin are not so sure of taking their boasted revenge.
The University is to be congratulated upon the prospect of a football game with the University of Minnesota at Kansas City in the fall. The "Gophers" occupy a prominent position in the football world of the northwest. A victory over them would go far to place Kansas in the front rank of western Universities as regards amateur sport.
It is safe to say that not an able bodied man in K.U. would refuse to go to defend his county if it was really necessary but college students represent the best element of society and are being educated to look after the welfare of their country in the future and when they must give their lives for "Old Glory" it should be among the last calls, when the price to save her honor will come the highest and so the recent criticisms passed upon our students for not enlist seem to be entirely uncalled for. It is not a haek of patriotism that keeps them home but an abundance of good sense and indeed what criticisms have been heard have come principally from those who wish the cooperation of some of their fellow students in securing the necessary votes to get them commissions. Criticisms from such exalted patrons really carry but little weight. When their country really needs them the students of Kansas will answer to the call and no one will have a chance to cast reflections upon their patriotism. Mean while we can stand the aspersions of those who display, their displeasure because we refuse to sacrifice ourselves not for our country but that they may be privileged to wear shoulder straps.
The small number of colleges represented at the recent State Field meet was very disappointing to those interested in track athletics as well as to those in charge. There is no reason why with proper and systematic training the smaller colleges of the state might not be perfectly able to hold their own with the University in this branch of amateur sport. For foot-ball as now played a good coach and a large number of men from which to pick is necessary but in track athletics neither is absolutely necessary. It is not team work that counts here but individual effort and systematic training. There ought to be a few men in every college in Kansas who with a little daily practice shouled excel in this branch of sport. The WEEKLY hopes that next
year the number of colleges competing will be at least doubled. It will certainly be a misfortune if the proposed annual field meets are allowed to die a lingering death because of the lack of interest in the other colleges in the state.
It will be a play it our trust admits, will not be given another opportunity to show what they can do. To anyone who has watched their work it is apparent that we have material of a high order in this branch of athletics. The WEERLY, judging from the form that her track men has so far shown, believe that the University of Kansas can send a team to the Trans-Omaha that could very nearly win the Trans-Mississippi meet. Nor can we think of anything more calculated to advertise the athletic interests of this University than the sending of a good team from here to that meet. On the other hand it will be a disgrace if this institution shall be represented at that carnival of sport. As we understand the travelling expenses of each team to the meet will be granted, and even if such should not be the case, it would be a penny wise policy that would leave us without representatives when our prospects for fruits in so many of the events are so bright.
WEATHER PREVENTS THE GAME.
May Play Missouri at Kansas City Decoration Day.
The clerk of the weather bureau indignant that Kansas and Nebraska should have dared to play ball contrary to his expectations, made such a good job of it yesterday that the Missouri game has been indefinitely postponed.
Just before going to bed Thursday night Manager Snyder went out on his front steps and took a careful survey of the sky. Not a cloud was to be seen. The manager smiled, smoked a fresh cigar on the strength of a good crowd the next day, then went to bed and dreamed of a crowd that stretched from the grand stand half way to Mississippi street. But while the manager slept and dreamed the weather clerk got in his dirty work. He heaped up big, dark, ugly-looking clouds from all parts of the sky and when the manager awoke it was to hear the peal of thunder. Jim thought at first that it was the Spanish bombarding the town but a glance at the sky told him the truth
Nearly all morning it rained and when it finally did clear off it was too late to play the game. Both teams were greatly disappointed and it is probable that a game will be arranged for Decoration Day at Kansas City.
The Missouri team has played four games on its trip so far and has won but one.
An Extra Guest at the Pl Phi Cookey Shine
The Pi Phi has one more guest at their cooky-shine last week. After the farce in which two of the girls who took the parts of Travers and Van Bibber, distinguished themselves more by the correctness of their apparel than by their skill as actors, an elaborate spread was indulged in. While this was in progress the sensation occurred. Van Bibber was gallantly passing a large tray of coffee, when Travers gave a shriek, "George Robinson, get out!" Van Bibber couldn't drop the tray,—the coffee was hot—Travers was on the floor and couldn't get up alone, and the girls were all too amazed to fly to the assistance of the embarrassed gentleman. The trying situation was relieved when George spied the spread, during h's excitement incident to that discovery. Sympathetic sisters restored Travers to a comfortable position and relieved the unhappy Van Bibber of his tray so that the two gentlemen could make a flying trip up stairs.
Dale Gear was on the hill Friday. He had come up from Kansas City the night before to attend the Phil Gam party and to take an examination in the Law school. While in Minneapolis with the Kansas City Blues Gear ran across Jack Cracraft and Jim Kelsey, two old University men who graduated two or three years ago. Both are now electrical engineers. Mr. Cracraft is now superintending the construction of a new telephone system in Minneapolis to cost $100,000. Mr Kelsey is assisting him in the work. Upon its completion Cracraft goes to New Orleans and Colorado Springs to put in similar plants. Dale says the chances are that Kelsey will not accompany him on these trips but will remain in Minneapolis as electrician of the Minneapolis system when constucted. Since joining the Blues Gear has been doing excellent work in the box and bids fair to be one of the best pitchers of the league.

The cast contains thirty-one people, nineteen men and twelve girls. Unlike former plays the cast has not been chosen entirely from the Senior Arts class but four Senior Arts are included in it.
The Senior play has at last found a name. It will be called "Bricks Without Straw." The date for its presentation has been set for Wednesday June first, following the usual custom of having the play on the Wednesday before commencement.

WEEKLY ELECTION.
Light Vote and Little Excitement—Ticket Goes Through:
M. C. Metcalf Top in Major.
Wilder S. Metcalf who graduated from the Law school last spring has been appointed junior major of the Twentieth Kansas regiment, the first regiment from this state to be called to the front. Major Metcalf was colonel of the First Regiment, K. N. G. and has been eleven years in the militia.
M- tcalf Applputed Major.
The election of next fall's WEEKLY board took place yesterday. There was a large stay-at-home vote due to the rain, the farmers being unable to get in from the country. There was little or no excitement connected with the election though it was several time found necessary to warn Hilliard Johnson and Prof. Adams in reward to the regulation forbidding the soliciting of votes within one hundred feet of the polls. There was an attempt to elect Alderman R. K. Moody and to run Judge Nathan Miller as a dark horse. Miller ran way ahead of his ticket getting a place among the first eight but upon information that the Honorable Note was not a stockholder of the company, the judges declared his election illegal. It is reported too that charges of bribery will be brought against several prominent University politicians supporting Moody and Miller, perhaps even against the candidates themselves.
Lieutenant Smith U. S. A. formerly military commandant at Baker university is reported as having said that outside of the regular army he had never met a man as well posted on military science as Major Metcalf and that many of the regulars would do well to brush up a bit if they wished to keep in his class.
The Sigma Xi met with Professor Dunston Wednesday evening. The following new members were taken in: H.A.Clark, Sayre and Stewart. Professor Haworth read a paper at the meeting.

THE KREISER CONCERT
To listen to a Musical Treat.
The organ recital given by Edward Kreiser Thursday was fully up to the expectations of the people. The young musician showed the people of Lawrence a few things about the organ that they did not know before. Mr. Kreiser has lately returned from Paris where he has been studying in this line of music and his superior instruction as well as his natural talent was shown in his playing Thursday night. He manipulated the stops and the three key boards with a wonderful degree of dexterity only possessed by a master of the complicated instrument. His technique was very fine and showed the works of long practice and study. In working the pedals he showed wonderful proficiency, the pedal variations in one of the pieces being remarkably smooth and even. He was assisted by Prof. Farrell, comment on whose musical powers need not be given as everyone in Lawrence knows what a wealth of richness and fullness is contained in his voice. The audience showed it appreciation of his number by the encourses given both his numbers, only one of which was responded to. His performance only emphasized the fact that his voice has been vastly improved while in Europe. The first number on the program was "Tocata and Fugue in D minor" by Bach, the fugue especially being brilliantly executed. The second number consisted of two parts: "The Question" and "The Answer" by Wolstenholme. The themes of both these compositions were delightfully simple and masterfully amplified. This was one of the most thoroughly enjoyed numbers on the program. At the conclusion of "The Answer" he was vigorously encored and responded by playing a short but beautiful selection. Mr. Farrel next sang a Recitative and Aria from "Julius Caesar" by Handel and responded to a vigorous encore.
The Military March by Gound was a grand piece and put the audience in a good humor before going home. It served to leave pleasant memories in the minds of the audience. The concert was the best thing the town has heard for some time and those who did not hear it missed a rare treat.
Mr. Kreiser's next number was in three parts. "Lullaby," "A Shepherd's Tale," and "Narcissus," by Nevin. These pieces were arranged for organ by Mr. Kreiser and showed great skill. In the third port on "Narcissius" was familiar to all and therefore much enjoyed. In one place, however, where canonic imitation was brought in the effect of imitation was partly on account of several false notes struck. The variations on "The Star Spangled Banner," was very finely played and the pedal effects executed perfect, but to a great many of the audience the theme was completely buried in the voluminous chord and endless runs. The Sonota by Guilmant was a little long for the audience which showed its feeling by restlessly moving about. The composition was a wonderful air consisting of the introduction Allegro, Pastorale and Finale. The climax was grand and brilliant. The "Shadow Air" was a pleasant relief from the heavy work of Guilmant, it being light and simple. The next number by Mr. Farrel who sang three short songs with great feeling and accuracy. To these he was encored, but did not respond. The last three numbers of Mr. Kreiser's were much enjoyed. The Andantino by Lomé being rendered with great expression.
OUR OLD RIVAL BAKER.
BALL GAME WITH HER BERE ON TUEYDAY.
A Crowd of Baker Rooters Will Accompany the Team.
TUESDAY
The last game of the quadrangular baseball league to be played here will be called at 3 p. m, sharp next Tuesday afternoon. At that time if the weather bureau will permit, the twice postponed game will take place.
Baker is said to have a strong team this year. They have taken Washburn into camp and while the game here Saturday would indicate that Washburn is quite easy on the other hand the score by which Nebraska beat them Tuesday, 14 to 12 might go to show that the Washburn men had an off day when they played here however that may be to anyone who has ever seen or heard anything of the traditional Baker-K U. rival the announcement of an athletic contest between the two colleges is sufficient prophecy of a rattling good game.
It is announced that the Baker team will be accompanied by a train load of rooters who hope to rattle the 'Varsity 'colts' by their noise.
Shot at His Ecme in Top ka Friday Morning.
The University world was shocked yesterday morning to learn of the murder of Mr. Collins, father of John Collins a prominent member of the local chapter of the Beta fraternity.
JOHN COLLINS' FATHER MURDERED.
Mr. and Mrs. John Collins, well known residents of this city, were shot at their home this morning by a burglar who had intered the house to loot it.
The following are the particulars as given by a Topeka dispatch to the Lawrence Journal:
The murderer stood near the foot of the bed. The first shot was fired as Collins raised up in bed. The second was fired evidently after he fell. When found he was laying across the bed, Mrs. Collins was in the same apartments. She was awakened by the roar of the gun. The two shots came in such quick succession; she could not distinguish between them. "Helen, Helen" cried Collins, "I am shot in the back. Get camphor Helen, quick and rub my back."
Mrs. Collins bended over the prostrate form of her husband and saw the blood gushing from a wound in his shoulder. A daughter and son soon aroused the neighbors who telephoned for the doctors. The children returned to the father's bedside in time to see him expire.
It was at first thought a burglar had committed the act. This is debuted, however.
Chemical Seminary.
At the Chemical Seminary on Thursday afternoon Prof Sayre referred to some of the recent investigation in the Pharmaceutical laboratory with reference to Echinacae root from Edinacae angustifolia a common plant of Kansas, the vulgar name of of which is nigger-head. It was stated that Mr. S. R Royce, several years ago extracted from the root a volatile oil, about and four tenths percent
Reference was made also to the new application of cresose in medicine, of the local anaesthetic Cocaine B. It is claimed for this' that it is less poisonous and less harmful than the popular cocaine.
Prof. Sayre commented upon these, and also upon the growing popularity of the root of this plant in medicine, at the present time there being collected and sold in this state several hundred pounds annually.
The formal presentation and acceptance will take place Friday May 20. Mrs. A. C. Brooks will present the picture and Professor Blackmar will receive in behalf of the board of education. Appropriate music has been arranged for the occasion.
Recently Mr S C Kirkland has succeeded in obtaining a crystalin+ principal which represents the activities of the drug.
Mrs. Robinson has presented to the Lawrence high school a picture of ex-Gov Robinson painted by Prof. Clark.

AFTER RECRUITS
Watson Junior Law Case to Lawrence to Secure Them.
The Kansas university company seems to be sailing on a troubled sea and are having more difficulty in organizing than they will have in routing the Dons; after they have gone to Cuba or the Philippines. Mr. Watson, a junior law went up to Topeka Tuesday to see the soldiers parade and feeling ashamed of the small number enlisted from Kansas University fett it his duty to also become a soldier to do honor to both Kansas university and his country.
Last Thursday morning he turned up in the junior law class, being sent, as he said by the adjutant general, to muster new recruits and during the course of his remarks which verged on a fourth of July oration, took occasion to cast some reflections on the patriotism of the Kansas university students by saying that "our demonstrations had been louder and our flag had floated higher than at any other school in the state and now we were unwilling to go when our country has called."
The oldest dry goods merchant in Kansas
Mr. Wheeler an ex-captain of the S.A.C. made a few remarks to the contrary who stated in substance; that patrioti sm did not consist in enlisting to help elect an officer and the class adjourned without any new recruits. The same evening Mr. Boyd came down from Topeka. His story is that Watson was not sent by the adjuant general but came on his own responsibility and that he (Watson) had been trying to get the Kansas university delegation to compromise on him as the officer from Kansas university for which place Kising and Boyd are candidates. In this case Mr. Watson's ardent patriotism can be accounted for.
A CARTER, TOM P. WY NEEDED
My goods are all in now. New fixtures have arrived and we are in shape to wait on trade better than we have been doing for want of fixtures. Remember, everything is strictly new, up to date, and cheap as Kansas City or Lawrence prices. I wish to extend my thanks to my old customers both in country and city, who are coming in squads, companies and some days by regiments. I don't feel that I can thank them enough for their very liberal patronage and to my brother merchants who have extended to me the right hand of friendship and welcomed me back to their ranks again (all but one of them.) I wish them success beyond their expections, the farmers abundant crops and high prices, the mechanic and laborer plenty of work at advanced wages, that the United States may keep all she gets and get all she can in this war with Spain.

HOW THE DEBATE WAS WON.
Continued from page 1.
able as yet to settle its home rule question He referred to the time when this country had once rebelled against the working of that same government because of its oppression.
He contended that a written constitution is necessary to the protection of the individual against the encroachments of government. Under an unwritten constitution the only protection of the individual is the conservatism of the people."
He then compared the two peoples to show that the conditions and traditions of each are necessary to the prosperity of both.
Mr. Watson is in earnest speaker and logical thinker. His stage presence is striking, and though prone to rapid utterance he never loses his head.
Messrs. Decker and Warner in rebuttal, closed for Kansas and Nebraska respectively. Each summoned up the argument of their respective sides in a few well chosen words.
When the decision of the judges was announced the audience cheered heartily for the winners and joined with them in their enthusiastic college yell."
A Visit to Camp Leedy
The fair ground is covered with a multi-itude of little tents, and continually during the day long rows of men can be seen drilling and marching.
In the top of the exposition building the Kansas University company is quartered. All the members seemed to be enjoying themselves. Tuesday evening when a WEEKLY reporter visited them, they were preparing supper. Cates and Petticord were the cooks. The meal consisted of beans, potatoes, hardtack and coffee.
So far, no attempt at organization has been made. Only two men have arrived from Manhattan. There are sixteen from Kansas University and about the same number from Salina
If more interest is not soon manifested it is probable that those who are especially anxious to go to war will join other companies which have not the full quota. The rest may return to school.
Moreover, the fact that it will take so long to organize the company makes it probable that that they will not get to go until the third regiment is orgained, which may not be for a month. The fight for the captaincy threatens to prolong organization further.
Those students who joined the Lawrence
volunteers are getting along nicely. In the competitive drill they took third place and will probably be among the first to go.
The Sigma Xi held a meeting Wednesday night at Prof. Dunstan's home and initiated Prof. Sayre, Mr Stewart, and Mr. Clark of the school of engineering. Prof. Haworth delivered the speech and spoke very interestingly on the Coal Measures of Kansas.
The April number of the Quarterly is out and contains a number of articles from Snow Hall, contributions from Professors Barber and Stevens and Mr. Beede.
"The Masqu+."
The Biological club last Wednesday night enjoyed a talk from Prof. Stevens on the history of cell investigations and showed how comparatively modern is any accurate knowledge of functions and life history of cell. Prof. Dyche gave a very interesting contemporaneous "paper" on some of the mammals of Kansas, confining his remarks to the white furred mice, gophers, ground squirrels, etc. The number present showed a gratifying increase.
SNOW HALL.
The first one, "Money" by Sir E. Bulwer Lytton, will be given at the opera house next Thursday evening with a strong cast. The second play, Shakespeare's "As You Like It," will be given about commencement time, outdoors in the woods, nature's complication, north of Snow hall.
The University Dramatic association which was organized last January has been hard at work the past three months upon two plays.
Seats can be secured for "Money" at the Santa Fe office on Tuesday morning.
Our Sprinter.
The two recent field meets have developed a sprinter, in whom all the students are deeply interested. F. R. Moulton of Marion, Kansas, has shown remarkable speed, and he has proper motion and stride. Sam Usher says: "He is the only spinner Kansas university ever had."
Moulton received his training at the Abington university in Illinois, and has never beaten in a 220 yard dash. At that school he also holds the record for standing and running broad jumps.
In the recent field meet he lowered the local 220 yard dash record two seconds. In the relay race at the inter-collegiate meet he made a quarter in 52 seconds which is several seconds below the record.
Students as well as others wanting coal, will find A.J. Griffin's the most convenient and best place to trade. His prices are the lowest, coal the best, and delivery is prompt and satisfactory.

Yesterday's game with Washburn was easy for the University. It was apparent at the outset that Washburn was outclassed and as the game advanced from inning to inning without a tally for Washburn, the interest centered in the question as to whether Washburn would score at all or not. By a lucky bunching of hits and good base running the boys from Topeka managed to get the much coveted score in sixth inning and saved themselves from a whitewash.
The game marked by a great improvement in the work of Kansas university. The feature of the game was the fast work of the University's infield. Housh, Poorman and Edmondson knocked down all kinds of base hits and Ellis' work on fist was of the highest order. The fast work of the infield is shown by two double plays. Swett pitched a splendid game and had Washburn completely at his mercy, but was a trifle wilder than usual. There was a marked improvement in the base running of the team as well, but the lack of systematic and steady coaching from the coaching lines which has been present all through the season was again made apparent yesterday when Poorman was thrown out at the plate by ten feet twice, trying to score once from second and once from first on short hits when a word from the coaches would have kept him on third and given Kansas University two more runs.
For Washburn Kennedy had lots of speed and good curves, but lacked control, giving seven free passes to first. In the first inning he was particularly wild, hitting the first four men up and forcing in a runner. C. Stahl backed Kennedy up in fine style but the work of the infield and outfield was very sloppy. Kansas university as usual had their batting clothes on, Edmondson leading with three hits.
The score in detain was:

A Large Crowd Gathered in University Hall in Their Honor.
THE CTUDENTS FAREWELL
Sunday night in honor of the twenty-nine Kansas University students who enlisted Saturday to form a part of the company of volunteers being raised at the state agricultural college, the state normal school and the University, a farewell meeting was held in University hall. Though the meeting was not arranged till late Saturday evening, many of the churches suspended the Sunday evening services to take part in those in honor of the students.
University hall was, as consequence, crowded to the doors, and there were many who could not gain admission. The platform was decorated with several large flags, and the pulpit was covered with red, white and blue, while small Cuban flags were also seen. Patriotic music was rendered by Prof. Penny and a male quartette and the audience joined in the national airs that were sung. During the opening selection on the pipe organ the volunteers entered the room, amid cheers and other applause from their comrades.
Chancellor Snow presided over the services, which were intended to partake largely of the nature of religious services, and which were interrupted at frequent intervals by loud hand-clapping and vigorous applause, even the open prayer being followed by that kind of an outburst.
The invocation was delivered by Rev. J. W. Somerville, and short addresses were made by Prof. F. H Hodder, Rev. W. G. Banker, Prof. W. H Carruth, Rev. G. D. Rogers and Chancellor F. H. Snow. All made references to the horrors of war, but declared themselves as first in the belief that there was such a thing as righteous war, and that the present war was of that kind. Prof. Carruth's address was particularly strong, and in the course of Mr. Rogers' address he declared that "A man who was not willing to fight for his country in time of war was not worthy of her protection in time of peace." The other speakers were equally emphatic in their declarations on the duty of the young men to go to the front in such a cause as now presented itself.
On Monday afternoon the boys went to Topeka on the plug. They were escorted to the train by their fellow students professors and the Indian band. First came the band, then the student volunteers, and behind them professors and students headed by Chanceller Snow. There was besides a big crowd at the depot to see them off and as the boys reached the station they were heartily cheered.
While waiting for the train the volunteers were surrounded by their fellow college boys and farewells said. As the train whistled into the station the band struck up the Star Spangled Banner and a few minutes later amid the playing of the band the giving of three hearty cheers by the crowd another detachment this time from the University left Lawrence for Camp Leedy.

ARRANGEMENTS FAST BEING COM-
PLANTED
Speakers Chosen—Masque May Present "As You Like It"—Class Day Exercises.
The committee on commencement exercises consisting of the Chancellor and the Deans of the various departments meeting very frequently these days.
Three of the commencement speakers have been selected. Dr. Barrows will deliver the commencement oration as told in the WEEKLY some weeks ago and Prof. Canfield will make the Phi Beta Kappa address. The third speaker so far selected is the Rev. W. M. Colledge of Aurora, Ill., who will preach the baccalureate sermon.
Prof. Penny is very anxious that an outdoor performance of "As You Like It" by the members of the Masque be made a feature of the afternoon exercises of the week.
The Senior Arts class held a meeting on Monday for the purpose of definitely arranging the program for class day. A committee was appointed to arrange for class day exercises. On Wednesday noon a special meeting of the class was called to hear the report of the committee. At this meetingthe class decided to hold class day exercises on either Monday or Tuesday of commencement week. The celebration will begin with a class breakfast on the campus about 8 o'clock in the morning. This will be followed by a few exercises when an adjournment will be taken till after dinner.
In the afternoon the class will gather together again to bid the buildings and campus a formal goodbye. Speeches and songs will make up the aftermon's program and another recess will be taken till after supper when more speeches will be made. John C. Sanderson has been selected as class marshall for the week.
R. D. Brown has been selected to deliver the alumni address. Mr. Brown is now a practicising attorney in Kansas City Missouri.
Students Attend a Cake Walk
On Wednesday evening the rains descended, the winds blew and the floods came, but they availed nothing; there was to be a cake-walk in town that night. Stay away from that? Not on your life! No matter how the night behave, no matter how the North wind rave!
For two long hours did this cultured audience wait for the colored gentlemen to put in their appearance and contest for the cake, and it was after o'clock when "the band began to play." But did any of these rehned young ladies and gentlemen get tired of waiting and go home? Indeed, no, not one. This was no Missouri debate or oratorical contest. This, gentlemen of the jury, was a cakewalk; not as edifying as a prize fight or a minstrel show, to be sure, but for all that a cake-walk.
And they were there—those University students and "profs," They were there in force; from the Law to the Latin department they turned out just to have a good time.
Gentle jests were bandied back and forth and laughter trickled upward just to show its opposition to gravity. "Jimmie" Green and the Phi Gamma Delta line party kept things Lively in the west end of the hall while "Prof" Walker and the Pi Phi young ladies held their own at the east end. The "josh" spirit was rampant. Every gentleman who came in late was subjected to a crossfire of wit and epithet and was obliged to make his obeisance to the assembled multitude. "Pop" Chamberlain and "Sal" Walker were especially felicitous in their responses.
The time between 8 and 10 was occupied in sitting on the bleachers which had no backs. Many ladies of color were there, Likewise some University maidens of fairer complexion jammed in with them side by side. These latter wore no veils.
Although the cake-walk itself was a grand fake, the evening was much enjoyed. Hornswoggle a college audience and they make the best of it by turning it into a joke.

NO OFFICERS FOR NEXT YEAR.
Association to Choose Them.
It has just come to light that no provision has been made for next year's Oratorical association organization at the last meeting of the association the election of officers for next year was postponed. At the same time a committee was appointed to revise the constitution of the association.
This committee was instructed to report later in the year. Several plans have been suggested, among them one to reorganize the association on somewhat the same basis as the athletic association. It is now growing near commencement day and next year's officers have not been selected. Neither has the committee on the revision of the constitution reported. No meeting has been called by President Sweet for that purpose.
There are yet two weeks in which this may be done, but several members of the association are beginning to feel a little impatient at the delay.
Mr. Swett was out of town Friday with the ball team and could not be seen either in regard to when the meeting would be held or as to what had been done by the revision committee.
ONE GREAT BIG ROASTS.
The Senior Play to be Given June First. The manager and cast of the Senior play, "Bricks Without Straw" are very careful these days not to let out anything that may spoil the effect of the play on the night of its performance. They are perfectly willing to tell the name, who and how many are in the caste, etc., but when asked to tell something about the play itself they shut up as light as clams. There is an evident desire on their part to let the various incidents of the play come as surprises. It has leaked out, however, that the play is entirely local in character and is as one member of the cast put it, "One great big roast." Who is roasted no one can find out but from such hints as have been let drop from time to time one is inclined to think that no one from professor to janitor need hope to escape. It is known that the play will be a burlesque on the events of the year. The cast is rehearsing daily. The play will be given as usual the Wednesday before commencement, this year June first
Kile Wins the Law Prize
Harry Kile, of LaCygne, Kansas, Law 99, won the Edward Thompson Law Book Co. prize.
The prize was a complete set of "American and English Encyclopedia of Law," valued at $250, and was offered to competitors in Kansas University law department for the best four thousand word thesis on the subject "Do labor combinations to control the price of their labor, stand upon the same legal footing as do combinations of dealers."
Mr. Kile is a graduate from William Jewell college and has always been among the foremost in his classes. At the recent Kansas University Lawyer election he was chosen editor in chief. Mr. Kile's success was a great victory for the junior law class.
Productions by two juniors and several senior law students were submitted.
The winning thesis bears many marks of especial merit, both in thought and language.
The recent investigation of the ages of the students in the University in order to determine the number liable for military duty showed that out of 653 male students only two were below 18 years of age and only one above 45.

BATTER UP!
OPENING OF THE MAJOR LEAGUE SEASON- SENIORS AND FACULTY PLAY TODAY.
Sta ting Investigation of Faculty Records—Many Diequalified for Professionalism and Disinquencies.
If Mr. P. O'Connor of Kansas City, weather observer and wizard will only give the elements, the high sign and keep the clouds in check for the spur of a single afternoon the Seniors and Faculty will play their annual game at 2:30 p.m. today on McCook field. The insination that the faculty team is an aggregation of has-beens is indignantly denied by Manager Adams who confidently asserts that he has at last after great expenditure of money succeeded in getting together a team of pennant winners. As evidence of this he calls attention to the fact that this year's team shows an infusion of young blood noticeably in the case of pitcher. Prof Canfield upon whose work in the box the faculty have formerly based their hopes and reliance has been unconditionally released. In his place a strapping youngster by the name of Williston has been signed in whom Manager Adams claims to have found a "phenom." "Willie" as the new pitcher has already been dubbed by the fans gained his experience by several season's ylay with the celebrated Faleontological "summer nine." This will be his first appearance in this company and there is always the danger that a young pitcher will not be able to hold up his end, but the manager places great reliance in his new pitcher and scouts the idea that he will not last the game out. Canfield's many friends are sorry to see him go, and many think his release a mistake, but there is little doubt but that "Artie" will catch on with some good union league team, probably the Lawrence High School. As another evidence of his energy and push in getting a pennant winner together Manager Adams points with pride to the fact that he has at great expense bought the release of the celebrated Arthur Walker from Chicago, and he will make his first appearance in a K. U. faculty uniform.
Vol. VI. No. 14.
Manager Adams has been somewhat hampered in the signing of his team by the action of the student advisory committee which following the foot-steps of the faculty advisory committee is doing its best to block athletics. Captain Manager Adams himself has been declared ineligible and delinquent by this committee for skipping of classes. Prof. Jones has also been declared ineligible for failing to take out a withdrawal card when dropping out of the matrimonial class upon advice of the instructor. The committee consisting of Gear, Stanley, Peters and Curry is also investigating the record of Mr. Sterling. It is charged that Sterling has been absent from chapel twice this year. The committee realizing the gravity of the charge is carrying on a searching investigation. As yet no proofs of the truth of the charge have been found. There was also a rumor early in the week that the year's residence rule would be enforced against Prof. Walker but they have been dropped owing to the close ties binding Prof. Walker to Lawrence. Prof. Hopkins has been barred for deficiency in penmanship. The most serious charges were those of professionalism tending to impurity in athletics brought against Wilcox and Cowan. The charges against the former were sustained but Cowan will be allowed though the proofs are against him, are stronger even than those against Wilcox. The senior team is now completed by
The senior team is now completed by the signing by Magnate Chamberlain of the powerful barb battery, McKinnie and Johnson, who will be in the points for them and have heretofore been invincible. If it rains today the game will be played next week.
Another University Company.
Professor Palmer is organizing and drilling a company of students on the campus. The number of students drilling is about 100, and every evening is increasing. The practice consists of battalion and squad drills. The result of this practice will probably be that Kansas University next year will have an army officer, and that drilling will be a part of the physical culture requirements.

RETURN GAME AT BAKER WED-
NESDAY.
Varsity Hopes to Get Revenue-Only One More Game at Home-Curry Resigns Captaincy, Succeeded by Ellis.
The second and last game with Baker will be played at Baldwin on Wednesday. The "Varsity is smarting under the defeat of Tuesday, and believes it can take Baker into camp in the next game. The team will of course be a disadvantage playing at Baker instead of on its home grounds. For that reason it is hoped that a large number of "fans" from Lawrence will accompany the team to Baldwin and see that we get our share of the "rooting." If a sufficient number of tickets can be sold a one fare rate may be secured and a special train as well. The "Varsity must win this game to win the quadrangular league pennant. The team plays at Washburn today.
Just where it will play on Decoration day is not as yet settled. The game with Nebraska at Lincoln is scheduled for that day but it can be played two or three days later just as well and if Missouri will consent a game will be played with her ball tossers on that day at Kansas City.
This game is at present hanging fire and depends entirely upon the action of the men across the line. Manager Suyder is highly favorable to the game and believes that there would be money in it for both teams. On June 4 the season will wind up with the postponed game with Ottawa which should have been played here a week ago today. Frank Curry has resigned the captaincy of the base team and Ellis our star pitcher has been selected his successor. The following is the standing of the clubs of the quadrangle league to date:
TRAM PLATED WON LOST PER CENT
K. U... 3 2 1 .066
Baker... 3 2 1 .066
Ottawa... 3 2 1 .066

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MAY 21, 1898.
Michigan has a base ball team known as the "Innelegibles" in addition to her regular team. A few more blows of the advisory committee's axe and we might easily boost of a similar aggregation
There is a fast growing suspicion among the members of the ball team and their friends that the recent weather has been controlled either by the Spaniards or by a certain member of the faculty.
The base ball team's defeat by Baker on Tuesday may be attributed largely to two things—the removal of Captain Curry by the advisory committee and over-confidence on the part of the team. For the first the team is in no way responsible. For the second they are by no means so blameless.
If Missouri is really anxious to meet us in base ball they ought to consent to Manager Snyder's proposition for a game in Kansas City Decoration Day. There is little doubt but that such a game would be a financial success. It is well known that Kansas City is one of the best ball towns in the West. The city's own team is now away on a trip to be gone till some tune in June. This fact united with the presence in Kansas City of a large number of young college men including a sizeable colony from each of the contending Universities should be sufficient guardy of a good crowd. If Missouri is game, her ball team will cross bats with our own at Kansas City on May 30.
The attempted arrest of John Collins at his father's grave by Chief Steele of Topeka was a piece of gross brutality as such it has called forth the rentament of friends of decency everywhere, by none more so than by the many friends and acquaintances of that young man here at the University, satisfied as they are of his innocence and sympathizing with his bereavement. On the other hand Chief Steele all through the tragical events of the past week has seemingly acted with but one purpose in view and that purpose an attempt to hasten guilt upon the murdered man's son. In this attempt he has been ably seconded by the Topeka State Journal which has worked its hardest to create public opinion against Chief Steele's would-be victim. What may have been the officer's motive the WEEKLY does not pretend to say. Whether actuated solely by the hope of reward, as some suggest, it does not feel competent to judge. As to the motive of the newspaper there can be no question. It has pronounced snap judgement in a case surrounded by the greatest of mystery and to increase its circulation has attempted to make this snap judgement, the sentiment of the community. In this endeavor it has stepped far beyond the bounds of decency and has strengthened its acknowledged position as the yellowest sheet in the state.
It is announced that the Trans-Mississippi has been declared off. The management of the exposition was not willing to give a sufficient guaranty of expenses. It is unfortunate that the meet cannot be held. It would have served as agood advertisement for the athletics of the middle west. It might, perhaps have resulted in a closer
union of spirit among the colleges of this part of the country. It would have added a pleasant feature to the exposition and would have afforded to its patrons an opportunity to see some high class sport.
We, of the University of Kansas are particularly sorry that it should have fallen through, for we felt as though we had developed a team here that would give an exceedingly good account of itself on the day of the contest.
--worth their time. Members of athletic teams receive the highly prized "K." Let the members of the debating teams get some sort of a trophy as well.
A felicitious feature of our recent contests with the University of Nebraska in base ball and debating is the apparent renewal of good feeling between the universities.
OUR DEBATERS.
It is to be hoped that another year will see a reform in our system for inter-collegiate debates. Our record this year in debating is not one of which we need in any way be ashamed. Of the two debates held the University won one and in the other her representatives put up a game fight. Yet it must be admitted that our whole system of preliminaries and of preparation is anything but scientific.
The methods now in vogue are not calculated either to bring forth the best of forensic or financial results. The need of a change somewhere has long been apparent. Just what the change ought to be is by no means so plain.
It would seem that one essential thing to do is find some way to create more interest in debating among the student body. If this can be done financial success is assumed. Not only this, but better material will be developed. To accomplish this desired co-operation of the student body in general seems to have been impossible under the present plan. The fault lies not in the men who have had things in charge but in the system. In the first place the committee is too large to be wieldy.
In the second place the committee is too far removed from the great mass of students. The WEEKLY believes that better results could be obtained if the debates were put under the charge of an organization somewhat on the order of the Athletic Association and to be called say, the Debating Union. Let this organization appoint a small executive committee, to have things in charge the committee to be directly responsible to the Union.
In regard to the preliminary debates the WEEKLY would also suggest a change. Under the present plan it is practically impossible to limit the number of contestants without injustice. Where the representation is by societies, each society should have an equal chance. On the other hand where there are a large number of candidates for the debating team, the time allowed each must necessarily be so short that not one of the candidates can do himself justice. Limit the number and many entitled to recognition are shut out; limit the time and a fair test of debating powers is impossible.
The most practicable way to avoid both of these difficulties would be to limit the number in the final preliminar, to six or eight, these six or eight have been chosen by previous sub preliminaries. This plan is obviously out of the question so long as the contestants in the final come there as representatives of debating societies.
In place then of a debate between representatives of societies the WEEKLY suggests a debate between representatives of the School of Law and the School of Arts. There is reason to believe that such a debate would bring out the best debating material in the University and would create greater interest in the outcome than has before been manifested. It cannot be denied that there is a bitter rivalry between these two departments. Each is anxious to show its superiority over the other.
This plan would not mean the destruction of the present debating societies. On the contrary it needs their co-operation. They would become the feeders, the training school for the final debate. Debates between their representatives would be held to determine the representatives of each school in the final preliminary.
This debate gives them the desired opportunity.
This plan it is believed will prove more advantageous than any yet tried. By making use of rivalry between the departments it will bring forth more candidates and develop more debating strength. It offers a way by which the number in the final preliminary may be cut down without injustice so that each contestant can show fully of what he is made. By making use again of the rivalry between the Laws and the "Lits," it insures greater interest in debating and more sheckels for the management.
There is another reform that should go with it. Offer prizes for the successful debaters. Give them some substantial mark of appreciation. Make debating
On Monday night the Tattler dropped into his easy arm chair, lit his meesschaum and fell to wondering as to the meaning of all these reports and rumors about the lack of college spirit in the University, for in the afternoon the Tattler had turned up his trousers, put on his mackintosh and with firmness and resolution started for the fair grounds believing in his heart that he would be the only person at the Field Meet. He got off the "Cannon-ball" walkthrough the long grass and mud and reached the grand stand to find a hundred or two people sitting in the grand stand contracting colds and pneumonia and cheering on the chilly looking athletes. The Tattler was surprised, too, that they all stayed until the finish and had enthusiasm for every event. And the Tattler puffed away at his Yale mixture growing surer all the while that such an example of heroic discomfort as those people furnished was proof that college spirit is a thing not entirely unknown in the University.
THE TATTLER.
The Tattler was out collecting last week dues for the Junior Prom, and he noticed that in every fellow's study an open umbrella occupied a prominent position. The first place that he observed the evil omen he exclaimed, "Horrors! put down that umbrella, or you'll have bad luck." "Can't put it down," said the student, "I am writing an exposition on the umbrella for English VI and I have to keep my sample before me." "Well, you will wish you hadn't," and with that the Tattler went on his merry rounds. He saw the open umbrella everywhere he went, and at last he said to his collectee "For Heaven's sake, how many of you are writing expositions on the umbrella? One hundred, said the collectee, and the Tattler went home and buried his head in his papers, hardly daring to think of the ill luck that would be caused by raising one hundred umbrellas in the house. The ill luck has not come yet, but the Tattler wants the English department to take notice that he goes on record as prophecying some awful misfortune. It is very possible that all who wrote umbrella expositions will flunk quite probable, in fact, but if it is not flunk notes that are coming, it is something worse.
ThTattler could but admire the pictureless English of a young professor who was describing to his class the other day way a country boy gazes on on his first visit to the city. The expression used is a familiar one, not in the class room however, and implies that the boys neck was made of rubber. The Tattler respectfully calls the attention of the young professor to the crusade against slain and slovenly English now being carried on in The Critic. Tha Bookman and other current magazines.

The Kappas are very reticent in regard to their proposed chapter house. Miss Eva Brown and Miss Agnes Hansen when seen by a WEEKLY representative positively refused to say anything further than that one would be built. As to its location, size or management they refused to be interviewed. They denied that it would be built opposite B. W. Woodward's but nothing else could be learned. It is said, however, on good authority that the chapter house will be built just east of Elliott Bros store on Adams street.

The 'Varsity Can't Win It- Loses to Baker 9 to 3.
The Varsity lost last Tuesday's game to Baker. Like so many other games this season the Chancellor's "colts" made errors at critical times, but unlike those other games, the errors were not checkmated by stick work. Indeed the despised Bakerities played all around our boys from first to last. At the bat, in the field and on the base they played with a ginger and snap that was lacking in the Varsity. An additional display of stupid base running was another factor in the defeat. Outside of the Varsity's sloppy fielding the principal obstacle to its success was a young man named Nuzman whose pitching was decidedly the feature of the game. Only five hits were made off him by our hardhitting team. The team was greatly hampered in its batting by the absence of Curry and his long and timely drives which have been such great factors in previous victorious games were sadly missed. Neither did the team present as strong a front in the field. Edmondson's work behind the ba was not nearly so good as Curry's nor could McKay's work on third be compared to that of Edmondson.
The game opened with Baker at the bat and the first three men up went out in order. The Varsity did better in their half. Carrol hit sharply over second, took second when Nuzman hit Poorman, went to third when the same thing happened to Edmondson and scored on a passed ball.
In the second Baker scored and Kansas drew a blank. In the third came the balloon and our whole team went up in the air. The team vied with one another to see who could make the most errors and five errors, a free pass to first, a passed ball, and three hits, netted Baker eight runs. From that time on Baker was never headed.

BEVERAL CHANGE$ PROMINENT
Altered Admission Requirements and Course of Study-Changes in Law School Requirements—Enrollment of the Year.
The catalogue for the year '97-08 is out. Several changes are noticeable and worthy of attention. Most important of all are the changes in requirements for admission and in the course of study. As told in the WEEKLY at the time of the change, by the end of the Sophomore year every student must have done some work in the school in at least two languages other than English, and must have done either in the preparatory schools or in the University at least one year's work in the biological sciences and one-half year's work in chemistry.
As also told in a previous issue, beginning with the fall of 1900 the right to offer three years of Latin and three years of English as the language requirements for admission will be withdrawn and in addition to the three years of Latin, either one year of English and two years of an additional foreign language will be required or else two years of English and a year of natural science in addition to physics.
CHANGE IN REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION TO LAW SCHOOL
Perhaps the most radical change in admission requirements is the alteration in the requirements for admission to the Law, school to take effect in 1899. Beginning with the fall of that year in place of the present common school branches now constituting the roll requirements for admission the following studies will be required:
1. Physical Geography.
2. History of United States, History of Greece and Rome, English History.
3. Algebra, through quadratic equations.
4. Geometry, Flage and Solid.
5. Physics. Carhart and Chute's Elements of Physics, or equivalent.
6. English: Grammar, Composition, and English Literature (according to two years' English High school course).
This change marks an advance in the standard of the Law school.
It might be interesting to note in connection with the requirements for admission that there has been a great increase in the number of accredited High schools
which fully prepare students for the Freshman class in the School of Arts. This year's catalogue contains a list of one hundred and nineteen such schools.
On page 111 is to be found a statement of the conditions of the Bryan prize fund, It is also to be noted that the offer of the Bartaeux English Literature has been withdrawn. At least no notice of the prize is to be found in this year's catalogue.
THE ENROLLMENT
The most interesting feature in regard to the enrollment is the greater proportional increase in the number of women as compared with the increase in the number of men There are now 409 women in the University and 653 men. In other words two-fifths of the students in the 'Varsity' are women whereas five or six years ago not a third of the students were women.
The list of students in the back shows in enrollment of 1,062 as against 1,004 ast year.
FOWLER MACAINE SHOPS.
The catalogue contains the following special announcement in regard to the new Fowler shops.
Of these 1,062, two are from Japan. Seventeen states and territories supply he remainder. Of course the greater number are from Kansas, 977 altogether from eighty-five counties.
The new Electrical Engineering shops, which will bear the name of the donor, will be modern in every respect; will contain boiler and engine rooms, arranged and adapted for complete boiler and engine tests, forge and foundry rooms, metal and wood working departments, dynamo-testing rooms, all fitted with latest types of appropriate machines, so distributed as to give the most comprehensive and exact technical instruction.
This shop building will contain, also, ample rooms for the testing of materials, and the cement and hydraulic laboratories of the department of Civil Engineering.

It is believed that this building and its equipment will be unsurpassed, in the carrying out of their purposes, by those of any technical school in the west. The building will be of stone, two stories in height, covering over 11,000 square feet of ground surface.
It is proposed to have the building ready for occupancy at the beginning of the academic year 1898-99.

"I have been highly gratified by the form the team has shown. Considering that we have had no trainer but have been entirely dependent upon ourselves I think that the record the boys have made is on the whole quite wonderful. At first I had considerable trouble in getting the men to come out and train
Many that I spoke to objected on the ground that they would not be able to get a place and that the time spent in training would be as good as wasted. Some of those very men won firsts. The faithfulness of the boys as well as the success of the team has I assure you been very gratifying to me."
There is no doubt that this year's track team has been the best the 'Varsity has ever had, the only one in fact for some years. The whole school is loud in its praises of Captain Speak through whose energy and push so much has been accomplished.

SNOW HALL.
Mr. McClung has arranged for some interesting special events for the Biological club.
Dr. Williston is to give an address some evening during the final week of school. He has not yet definitely chosen his subject but will quite likely speak on "The Purpose of Study of Natural History." A week from next Wednesday at the regular and the last meeting of the club this year, Prof. Dyche will give his much talked of lecture on "Wild Animals and Their Haunts." This lecture is to be illustrated and will be given at the usual club hour in the lecture room of Snow hall and of course everybody is invited.
The money derived from the recent sale of fossils to the National Museum of Washington has been received and the department has been busy purchasing provisions and making the necessary arrangements for fossil hunting expeditions and everything is now waiting for favorable weather to come.
The Biological club is enjoying an increasing attendance, there being about seventy-five present at last Wednesday's meeting, which was specially interesting in that for the first time a student participated in the program.—Mr. Cloyes giving a very interesting paper on the "Box Elder Bug" Leptocaris trivittattus. Dr. Williston was down for a talk on the principle of classification but was unable to be present. However upon Mr. McClung's request and without any special preparation, Mr. Dyche outlined the fundamental principal upon which classification depends and showed the difficulties in making a satisfactory classification.
Numerous requests are being received for chinch bug infection. Mr. Cole has charge of their distribution.

Senior Class Proceedings.
A meeting of the Senior class was held Monday to determine whether or not the class should hold class day exercises. The class was addressed by Professors Miller, Carruth and Adams, all of them favoring class day exercises. The class unanimously decided to hold the exercises. A committee of five consisting of Mr. J. O. Hall, chairman, Mr. P. S. Ellott and Misses Anna Abel, Ethel Hickey and Rachel Watson was appointed to consult with representatives of the faculty and prepare a program. This committee reported to the class at a meeting Wednesday noon the general outline of the program. The report was unanimously adopted. A complete program has been made out and the parts are now being assigned. The class unanimously passed a resolution requesting the faculty to appear in caps and gowns at all of the commencement exercises.

THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF NATURAL HISTORY SPECIMENS IN SNOW HALL.
Many Could Not Be Replaced-Unmounted Specimens by the Box-full-
The Mounting Done
This Year.
The University needs a fire-proof museum. Thousands of dollars worth of natural history specimens part of them mounted, the greater part stored away in boxes unmounted because of lack of room and facilities for their exhibition are now without ample fire protection.
These specimens have all been mounted under the personal supervision of Prof. Dyche and as far as artistic and scientific mounting are concerned could not be replaced for double their commercial value. There are other specimens whose like cannot be found in any museum in the world. The whole collection estimated conservatively at its commercial value is considered to be worth $55,000 but considering the superior mounting the Regents would probably not take double or treble that sum for it and yet if a fire should ever break out in Snow Hall this valuable museum, the pride of the University, the wonder and admiration of all its visitors, would be reduced to ashes. The campus is so far removed from the town that there would be little hope of the prompt appearance of the fire department and d even if there were, the fire in the boiler house proves that the fire-pressure on the c ampus is inadequate.
Few students realize the magnitude of the Dyche collection. The mounted specimens on exhibition look like a large collection and so they are. But one can get no idea of its real size without visiting the workshop. It consists of three large rooms each occupying one wing of the building, in other words, of three-fourths of the top floor of Snow Hall, and look in whatever direction you may in any of the rooms and you are surrounded by boxes and barrels and cases chuck full of skins, while in the north room above your head and running across the room are shelves piled high with skins cured and ready to be mounted. There are enough unmounted specimens stowed away on this third floor, so says. Prof. Dyche, to make a collection twice as large again as that now on exhibition. In other words were all these mounted it would take a building as large as Snow Hall to hold them all, and yet a sudden blaze and all would be ashes.
Nor are boxes and barrels the only things to be seen in this wonderful work shop. Here may be found specimens in all stages of mounting. As one enters by the south entrance he is confronted by a group of newly mounted seal captured on the last expedition. Walking into the north room on his left are seven young owls. This is the fist work done in young birds here and the department is very proud of it. On the right is a group of polar bear in all sorts of positions, while straight ahead are five walrus. But the east room is the most interesting of all for here are to be found two polar bears and a seal in process of being mounted And now a word as to the mounting. Prof. Dyche on his trips takes many photographs of animals' positions and so when the mounting is to be done it is not the result of fancy, but follows closely the natural position of the animal as revealed by the photograph. A frame is made following the picture closely, and with particular attention to the lines and ridges This frame is covered with excelsior and over it is drawn the skin. If it is desired to save the skull for purposes of study a wooden model of the skull is attached to the frame which when finished would deceive the wisest.
Here on this third floor Prof. Dyche and his assistant, Mr. Cole, may be found any day, and it is to them that the state is in debted for its newest mounted specimens.
NOW HERE'S A TEAM-
The K. U. Ineligibles—Stronger Than Any Team Yet Met by "Varsity— Game Between the Two Be- ing Arranged.
It is rumored that a ball game will be arranged between the 'Varsity ball team and a ball team to be called the "Ineligible." So many ball players have been declared ineligible udder the new amateur rules by the advisory committee that it is with this addition of a few men who did not try for the "Varsity this spring a team stronger than any yet could be formed.
Dale Gear is expected to be here early in June to take some "exams" in the Law school and the game will in all *probability* he played while he is in the city.
The team will probably be made up as follows: Catcher, Frank Curry; ex-captain Varsity; pitcher, Will Stanley '96; captain Varsity or Dale Gear, ex-captain Varsity, now with Kansas City Blues; firstbase, Dana McVicar formerly of Washburn or 'Billie' Games formerly of Baker, second base Lawrence Chamberblain, K. U., TopekaWinfield; short-stop, Gear or Stanley, third base, Burdick, '96 Varsity right field, Jim Snyder, '96 and '97 Varsity, manager '98, center field, Thatcher, left field Art Williams.
All these men are experienced ball players and with Gear or Stanley in the box and Curry behind the bat, together with the batting strength of the team—for this would be a team of hitters they could make it lively for the 'Varsity.
THE 'VAISITY GETS IN THE GAME
AGAIN
Take's a Game From Baker-Up Against it
Last Week
The Varsity got back into the Quad-rangular league race this week and took a game from Baker by the score of 13 to 2. The feature of the grime was the pitching of Ellis who had the Bakerites completely on his staff. Edmunson caught and did fairly well, his throwing to second being excellent. Housh led the team at the bat with three hits while ever man on the team rapped out at least one
In last week's trip the team seems to have been rather up against it. "We were robbed of the game," says Manager Snyder, at Emporia Friday. In the ninth inning with the score five to four in Emporia's favor and with one out, Griggs started to steal third. He was safe by three feet but the umpire called him out. That was bad enough, but worse was to come. Ellis who was at the bat hit the next ball for twobags, stole third, played way off the latter base and as the catcher threw to the pitcher, started for home. As he slid into home coming within about two feet of the base the catcher muffed the ball but immediately grabbed hold of Ellis and kept him where he was until the pitcher could run around, pick up the ball and tag Ellis. This the umpire also called out, making the last out of the game, and giving the victory to Emporia. As for the team we played, it was supposed to be the State Normal. Everyone knows, however, that when you play ball at Emporia you play against the same team whether it be called the Normal team, the College team, or town team.
'Then at Washburn the management played a soldier, a professional ball player, under an assumed name. The man's real name was Lee Grainly and he lives in Emporia. We heard all about his prowess as a ball player down there and what was our surprise on arriving at Topeka to find him on the Washburn team under the name of Gallaway He is not a student at Washburn at all but a member of the volunteer army. I saw him going back out to camp after the game. This game we shall protest. Kansas is living up to the very letter of her amateur rules and enforcing a scholarship standard while with the teams we played last week the policy is any team to win.'
To the Editor of the Weekly:
I am told that the statement was published some time ago, that I would have charge of the literary department in the editing of the Senior Annual. Since then, many inquiries have been made of me about the literary work to be printed in that book. On this account, it seems proper that I disclaim both responsibility and right to credit for what will appear in the literary part of the Annual. I resigned from the editorial board before that board began its work, and assumed and have had no control or supervision in the preparation of the book.
Respectfully,

GAME BETWEEN BAKER AND THE
'VARSITY ON THE MCOOK
FIELD WILL DECIDE
LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP.
Each Tram Has Won One Game from the Other- Nebraska Has Cancelled Her Game for That Day.
Of all the ball games of the season the most depends upon the third game between the Varsity and Baker next Monday, decoration day. The team was to have played in Lincoln on that day but the Nebraska management has cancelled the date and so the tie between Baker and K.U. may be played off on that day. The game is important for two reasons: First of all it settles the que tion of base ball supremacy between the two colleges. Last week with his faithful fans Baker came up here and surprised her as well as the "colts" and their admirers by administering a crushing defeat to the Varsity. Wednesday the Chancellor's pets turned the tables on the Methodists at their own strong hold at Baldwin. Now comes the final game and it will be blood.
In the second place the two teams are practically a tie for the quadrangular lege championship. If K. U. wins the game she wins the pennant.
These two facts ins re that each team will play its hardest. Both feel confident of victory but neither is overconfident, as each has tasted the sting of defeat at the hands of the other. As a result of the two things depending upon the game the force, not to say bitter rivalry between the two universities which has smouldered for the last few years with only an annual outbreak at the oratorical contest has broken out in full fury. Next week is commencement week at Baker. There will be no classes, and it is announced that the whole town and college will be here Decoration day to root their team on to victory. The following are the players and positions:
K. U. Position Baker
Ellis . pitcher Nuzman
Edmondson . catcher Wright
Swett first base Gassaway
Housh second base Cochran
McKay third base Games
Poorman short stop Rarey
Griggs left field Sissler
Carrol center field Hoover

CHANCELLOR'S RETURN
The Chancellor is in receipt of a letter from Mr. George Fowler. Mr. Fowler proposes, since it has been decided to place the Fowler shops upon a conspicuous spot on the campus to take steps to insure the architectural "tractiveness of the structure, even if it does cost more. In place of the proposed slate roof Mr. Fowler now suggests a red tile roof. He is very anxious that the building should in every way be an ornament to the campus.

Banquet of Scientific Men in St. Louis.
The Chancellor returned Friday of last week from a week's trip, in time for the chancellor's reception that evening and for the Senior-Faculty game of the next day. Upon leaving here the Chancellor went directly to St. Louis, where he was the guest of the trustees of the Missouri Botanical Garden commonly known as Shaw's Gardens, at their annual banquet.
The Chancellor, as told in a previous issue of the WEEKLY, was the principal speaker at the banquet. He left St. Louis the early part of last week for Chicago, where he was three days engaged in business for the University.
On Saturday the Chancellor went to Quenemo where he delivered an address to the graduates of the high school. In that little town there were thirteen high school graduates, eight sof whom, strange to say were boys as against only five girls.

Iowa's refusal to play football with us next fall at Iowa City is at last us sportsmanlike while her counter proposition to play at Kansas City Thanksgiving knowing as she does our standing agreement to meet Missouri at that time and place bears the ear-marks of insincerity.
It is to be hoped that the custom inaugurated last year of opening the store and work rooms of Prof. Dyche for inspection during commencement week will continue. Few students realize the size of our collection of natural botany specimens. A visit to these rooms will be an eye-opener for both students and visitors.
The last issue of the Normal School Owen loudly calls attention to the superiority of the normal in many lines. It might rightly add that the Normal stands in undisputable pre-eminence as the unvullied exponent of impure amateur sport and that it can boast of the most consumate robber ampule in the state. The Weekly has yet to hear of a team playing at Emporia that was not robbed blind.
It is to be hoped that the year will not close without some steps being taken towards the reform of our Oratorical association and our debating management. The WEEKLY is strongly in favor of reorganizing both upon the basis of the present Athletic association. The one is now in the control of a close corporation, the other of a committee with almost plenary power. Both are too far removed from the student body as a whole to be calculated to cause enthusiasm in either subject among the great mass of students. There is only one short week now in which these much desired reforms may be accomplished.
In our appreciation of the generosity of Mr. Fowler, the visible mark of whose public spirit may soon be seen on the campus, we should not forget the gift made to the University some three years ago by Dr. Bell of Kansas City. Because of the niggardly policy of the legislature, it has not yet been possible to make use of Dr. Bell's grant of land. But it must not be forgotten that thanks to Dr. Bell's desire to advance the cause of science, the University is in possession of property in Kansas City Kansas worth well on towards fifty thousand dollars and which when our legislative fathers see fit to take the proper steps will insure the establishment of a high grade medical department. The legislative sight seems to be particularly short sighted in this state in regard to educational matters, and it may be some time before it can be brought to take notice of the importance of Dr. Bell's beneficence, and take steps toward reaping its full benefits. This is the misfortune but not the fault of the generous doctor.
KANSAS IN THE LEAD.
It is not so many years ago that the scholar of standing must show evidence of Eastern training. The man whose
training had been given west of the Mississippi, was at a distinct disadvantage compared with his Eastern educated rival and doubtless would have been anubbed for his presumption in trying to compete with the latter.
The westerner was looked upon as a good fellow, but unoutstanding and uncultured while as for a Western scientist that would have considered an absurdity. But things have changed. Western colleges are coming to the front in science and learning as well as in other matters. Last week's WEEKLY briefly noticed the surprisingly rapid success of three of Dr. Williston's latest pupils in paleontology. Careful examination brings to light the fact that of the younger men now conducting investigations in this branch of science nearly all are of Western breeding and education. It is practically true that of late years the field of research in this department has been closed to the Easterner and has been carried on by the Westerner. Better still it has been carried on to a large extent by young men from our own institution who fresh from the instruction of Dr. Williston find themselves in the very front rank of the generation of scientists.

Wilson Mann A. B. '97 was a visitor at the university on Monday. Mr. Mann is in the mercantile business at Horton and a business life appears to agree with him as much as student life, if one is to judge from an increase in weight even over his last year's form. Mr. Mann will be well remembered for his brilliant work in last year's Senior-Faculty game and for his impersonation of Judge Green in the Senior play.
AMONG THE ALUMNI.
John Galentine Hall, A. B., 195—A. M. (Harvard) during one of his botanical excursions near Boston not long ago, made an interesting discovery. He found a fungus Teichospora traicola, which is very rare and had never been found in America before. Mr. Hall is at Harvard this year studying for his Ph. D.
Mr. Grant, A. M. class of '97 writes from Deadwood S. D. reporting a pleasant and successful year. During the summer of '97 he taught in the Bryant and Stratton Business College of Chicago. In September he went to Deadwood to undertake his duties as principal of the high school there. May 19 he was re-elected for the ensuing year at an advance of $20, making $100 per month.
H. P. Butcher was re-elected principal of the Olathe high school.

WHO IS ROASTED
This Is What Fearful Youths and Maid e of the 'Varsity Are asking of the Santors.
As the time for giving the Senior play draws nearer the members of that august class grow more and more reticent in regard to their dramatic effort. The cast is rehearsing every day at the opera house, but fortune, indeed, would be the visitor who could hide himself away from the watchful eye of Manager Walker and listen to the rehearsal.
Never before has the Senior play been wrapped in so much mystery. Never before has the Senior class been so afraid that something might get out about the play or so particular that nothing should get out.
They have, to be sure, given out the name of the play,
"Bricks without Straw;" but what does that tell? Almost anything from a problem story to a Vaudeville show might be named "Bricks Without Straw." They have also said that the play will be a burlesque on the events of the academic year, and will be chuck full of roasts, but that doesn't tell much either. What the fearful youth who has laid himself open to joshing during the winter is now asking himself, and incidentally every senior of his acquaintance is "Am I roasted?"
Tantalizing to the last the seniors refuse to give out the cast of characters. The following will take part, but what parts, Heaven and the seniors only know, and they won't tell. Chas. Loomis, Victor Boone, Jack Harris, Alfred Noyes, Harvey Clark, De Vere Rafter, Hilliard Johnson, Arthur Jackson, Wilkie Clock, Cecil Haggart, Asa Canavan, Chas. McGee, B. D. Hammell, H. H. Hess, W. J. Walker, Lawrence Chamberlain, John Sanderson Malcolm Watson, Willis Myers, Mabel McGregor, Alberta Cavin, Leora Crawford, Sara Thrasher, Alice Spencer, Jennie Mershon Nellie Dryden, Carrie Pampel, Mabel Fisher, Rhoda Field, Eleanor Gehart. Advance sale of seats begins Monday morning at Dick Bros. Prices 75, so 25 cents.
A VISIT FROM DR. BELL.
In 1805 Dr. Bell made a grant of land in Resedlea estimated to be worth $500,000 as an endowment for a medical school for the University.
Dr. Bell of Kansas City was in the city recently to see Chancellor Snow.
The Donor of Our Medical School Endowment. Her t is See the Chancellor.
The grant was made upon the condition that a hospital be built in connection on part of the land in connection with the Medical school.
Rosedale is a suburb of Kansas City and the property is situated just across the Kansas line on the Southwestern Boulevard an ideal location for a hospital. The legislature has failed so far to take any steps toward the establishment of either medicine college or hospital.
The greater part of the gift is free from any condition whatever. There is too, a recent decision of the Colorado supreme court, which if followed by our courts would prohibit the University authorities from carrying on their work outside of Lawrence. In such a case it is thought

SENIORS APPROPRIATE ATHLETIC
AS3CUSIATION "MONEY."
To a much smaller audience than the merit of the performance deserved, "The Masque" presented Bulwer Lytton's "Money." The play was exceedingly well staged and excellently costumed. The acting was uniformly good, above the average of amateur productions and showed intelligent appreciation of the lines and the best of coaching. Miss Charlotte Hobson played the difficult part of Clara with feeling and expression. Claude Stanley looked and acted the part of the highly educated and intensely sensitive hero with appreciative intelligence. Perhaps the best piece of acting done by any of the cast was the character acting of "Sal" Walker whose imprisonation of the Melancholy Graves in mourning for his "Sainted Maria" more than once brought down the house. On the whole from a dramatic standpoint the first performance of "The Masque" was a success and reflects the greatest credit upon its members. The following was the cast.
Want To Turn Proceeds of faculty Game
Over to Student's Loan Fund.
The Senior class had a stormy meeting Wednesday to consider the disposal of the funds accrued from the Senior faculty game. At a previous meeting of the class Lawrence Chamberlain was elected manager of the team and given authority to arrange a game with the faculty. The Seniors played the game on McCook field and resulted in favor of faculty. The Athletic association at their regular meeting decided to let the grounds for the game for $55.90. The members of the class with a philosophical turn of mind moved to appropriate their share of receipts for the benefit of students loan fund. An amendment to appropriate the receipts for the benefit of the Salvation Army was lost. The previous question was moved by Wardner and the receipts are to be turned over to the loan fund. A committee of the class is to be appointed next week to raise the deficit to pay for the
Always Open
use of the grounds. The appointment of Clark, Smith and Wing has been suggest-ed.
THE TATTLER.
The Tattler keeps wondering when the students will get over their ward school and high school ways, sufficiently so that they will stop calling the University a school. We all do it. Some of us talk of going "up the hill," but we commonly say "go to school." This very morning the Tattler heard at least a dozen times that there would be no "school" Monday. Even in the columns of this paper our dignified Alma Mater is from time to time mentioned as "school." A young professor who came here the first of the year was disgusted to hear these grown up students talking about "school" as if it were the ward article, but he has pitied, then embraced, for the Tattler heard him saying "school" the other day. At other great colleges like our own one except a brand new freshman says "school," and he would not say it many times. The Tattler wishes that we might scoorn such childlike speech as "fresh."
The Tattler can picture to himself the eagerness which the eighty members of the Junior Class will display when their president distributes the sixty tickets so generously sent by the senior class for the Annual Senior play. Each of the eighty Juniors will want to be one of the sixty to occupy the seats. No one will want to be one of the twenty without seats. Various plans have been suggested among the Juniors but at the end of the discussion there always remain eighty Juniors and sixty seats. And, twenty of the Juniors are dissatisfied. No one has presumed to criticize '98. The Juniors all feel that what '98 has in its benefience decided, is right. They are merely enleaving by the mathematics that they have had to make sixty increase to eighty, or eighty decrease to sixty. With what success, we shall see Tuesday night. The Tattler hopes he may be there to see.

SNOW HALL
The Entomological department is planning for an expedition this summer, particularly against bugs that are injurious to alfalfa.
At the regular weekly meeting of the Biological club Wednesday Mr. Stevens very interestingly talked upon the "Development of the Conception of Sexuality in Plants." Mr. Barber then devoted the rest of the hour to the subject of "The Entomology of Yellow Fever." Next Wednesday's meeting will be the last for this school year and Mr. Dyche has consented to give his illustrated lecture on "Wild Animals and their haunts." Everybody is cordially invited.
The current volume of the Geological Report will be out by the middle of June. It is to contain articles on the Upper Cretaceas of Kansas, Birds, Dinosaurus, Crocodiles, Mosaasurs, Turtles and Invertebrates and the is to be information on some of the subjects that is expected to settle much of dispute that many Natural History students are having upon some of these questions. Anybody wishing one of these volumes can do so by leaving his address with Dr. Williston and making arrangements for postage which will be about 350 pages of printed matter and about 128 plates, most of which will be new.
Next Thursday evening at 8 o'clock Dr. Williston will deliver the annual address of Biological club His subject is to be 'The Discipline or Purpose of the study of Natural History. This lecture will be in the Snow Hall lecture room and free to the public which is cordially invited.
The Illinois State Board of Health visited the University Thursday. They were here inspecting the course offered here and when leaving they said the course was fully up to the standard and would be accepted in any of the Illinois Medical schools. This is a great thing for our school for an admission to the Ill-admits to all of the schools of the country. By the way the department has raised the requirements and are endeavoring to put in a two year's course.

SIGMA CHIS HAVE A BALL ON AS SENSION.
?hi Games Defeat Them in the Third
Inter-Frall Game.
The Sigma Chi balloon assension took place on Thursday at McUcock field. For some time it looked as if the event would not take place. Aeronaut Stanley positively refused to make the assension for an hour and a half but at precisely 4:39 o'clock the Ph Gams for whose benefit the assension was made, loosened the ropes and the daring aeronaut began to go up in the air. Faster and faster he rose toward the heavens.
The Sigma Chis were on the grounds imploring Stanley to let loose the parachute and come back to earth. But also! In the burry of the moment no parachute had been provided. Finally the balloon burst as suddenly as it had risen and its occupant came tumbling heavily to the earth bruised in fifteen places.
In other words with the score five to five, "Cap." Stanley pitching for the Sigma Chis went to pieces in the sixth inning and when he came down out of the clouds fifteen Phi Gams had crossed the plate. For five innings the game was interesting to watch, and when the rain began to fall at the opening of the sixth the score was a tie. For some reason or other, however, the rain had a bad effect on the Sigma Chis, while it seemed to exhilarate the Phi Gams. Perhaps it was because the former were unused to water; who can tell?
Like all previous games of the fraternity series, the game was by no means featureless. The feature of the game, was the playing of Claude Stanley. Claude, eved prettier than usual in a dainty green sweater, gray "knickers", and golf stockings was the Mark for many admiring eyes. His throwing to the diamond from center garden was remarkably acorral, the ball striking the diamond some where between first and third every time. But it was at the bat that he shone with the greater iustre. Seldom has one been seen to strike out so gracefully and daintily as did this accomplished gentleman.
Ranking a close second to Claude came 'Judy' Allen. Judy was attired in one of Prof. Sterling's crash suits. His catch of a high fly in center was the star play of the day, only he unfortunately dropped the ball after catching it.
One of the prettiest plays was the Del-sartian grace with which Ed Sample let a slow grounder go through his legs while the most exciting was McKnights daring slide feet first into second, knocking the wind completely out of Matt Smith who was covering the bag.
The way in which Williams ran the Sigma Chis team from behind the bat was a marvel of base-ball generalship while at the same time many of his suggestions and commands were couched in such happy terms as to overwhelm the side lines with admiration and convulse them with laughter.

'Varsty Defeats Ottawa in a Good Game.
The 'Varsity took the last game of the series with Ottawa yesterday by the score of nine to two.
The game was a pitcher's battle. The same number of hits were made off each pitcher but Ellis kept the hits more scattered and received the better support. He was also sieander not giving a single free pass to first. In the field our whole team played better ball than Ottawa while the work of the 'Varsity on bases did the heart of the faithful fan good. Ellis alone had four stolen bases and aided
materially in winning his own game. Indeed though luck was also with team the 'Varsity won because they played the better ball.
The game was won in the fourth inning by a bunching of hits, daring base running and errors by Ottawa. Edmondson put up a good game behind the bat. Only one error is charged to the 'Varsity The game was a pretty one to watch and for the first four innings intensely exciting.

Grand Open Air Comedy.
Next Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the woods in front of Snow Hall the K. U. Dramatic club will present Shakespeare's beautiful comedy, "As You Like It." A force of men have been engaged to prepare the grounds and enclose them. They are also putting in some excellent seats. A more beautiful spot for the performance could not possibly be found. The pretty green hill situated some distance from behind the stage location affords splendid opportunities for fine effects. In the second act Orlando approaches from there carrying old Adam. In the fourth act a band of horses and horsemen make their entrance from this hill. Mr. Walker as William will have an opportunity to display his skill as a runner when Touchstone threatens him with death in a hundred and fifty ways, for daring to love Audry, and then drives him up the hill. The wrestling in the first act between Orlando (Dr. Woodruff) and Charles, the Duke's wrestler (Mr. Avery) will be genuine. The music will be the best. The costumes are being made and will be beautiful. Never, in the history of Lawrence has an out of doors performance been presented. No palms will be spared to make "As you Like It" a grand artistic

THE GRADU-
ATE SCHOOL
THE FIRST YEAR OF ITS ESTABLISHMENT MARKED BY GREAT SUCCESS
Courses Offered and Degrees Given-
Committee and Officers.
This is the first year in the history of the University of Kansas that the demand for instruction in advanced University studies has been met. The Graduate school is now a separate department and does much to give the University a high rank among the universities of the United States.
The large collections in the several museums of natural history, the facilities afforded by the various laboratories, the equipment of the engineering schools and the resources of the library enable the University to offer opportunities for advanced study and original research in many directions
The University offers at present six advanced degrees, viz. Doctor of philosophy, master of arts, master of science, civil engineer, electrical engineer, and analytical chemist. About one hundred and twenty-five courses are offered in the following branches: botany and entomology, zoology and anatomy, historical geology and vertebrate anatomy, physical geology, mineralogy, petrography, chemistry, civil and mechanical engineering, physics and electrical engineering mathematics, philosophy, economics and sociology, European history, American history and administration history, Greek, Latin, German, French, English pharmacy pedagogy and music.
The faculty of the graduate school consists of professors and associate professors. Chancellor F. H. Snow is president, F. W. Blackmar is dean and F. H. Hodder is secretary. The members of the administrative committee are: F. W. Blackmar, F. H. Hodder, C. G. Dunlap, E. Haworth and F. O. Marvin
The number of students in the school this year if forty-four. Thirty-nine are candidates for degrees. All but two are resident students. Under the charge of Professor Blackmar the graduate school has thus become a prominent department of which the University may be justly proud.

WILL THERE BE ANOTHER GAME.
Mr P O'Connor of Kansas City weather observer and wizard after a consultation with F. Hanna Johnson, in the course of which the latter threatened to have the former removed, in order to keep his job gave the clouds the command to retreat and allowed the Seniors and Faculty to play last Saturday. For two hours the contest waged fiercer by far than any battle yet fought between Sampson and Cervera. For two hours the spectators in the grandstand roared with delight and the rooters on the side lines shrieked and yelled. For two hours the Umpire Hogged, for the faculty, and yet when the two hours were up it left the result of the game in doubt. Like the Kansas-Nebraska football game, both sides claimed the victory, the seniors by the score of 21 to 15, the faculty by the score of 15 to 11. A time limit was put upon the game at the outset and it was agreed to stop at 5 o'clock. The arrival of that hour found the first half of the fifth inning in progress with the score 21 to 15 in favor of the seniors.
Manager "Duke" Chamberlain claimed this as a victory for the Seniors, while Manager Adams of the faculty quoted some rule requiring the score to go back to even innings' which would give the Faculty the game by the score of 15 to 11. Both managers cited the best of authority, but it is thought that Chamberlain has a little the best of it, being supported by Hilliard Johnson while Manager Adams is backed up only by the Chancellor the disciplinary committee and the council. Umpire Hogg and Scorer Buttermer'e however, decided in accordance with the faculty's views, both it is charged beawing by fear of losing their positions as private secretaries to the Chancellor and to Prof. Green respectively.
The Eighth Annual Session of the
Result of Senior-Vacuity Game in Doubt
Both Claim Victory-Chancellor's
Winning Position
"Willie" Williston the new pitcher of the faculty aggregation did not go into the box for them as he had injured his pitching hand by handling a fossil—not a member of the faculty—in practice the afternoon before. Instead of the youngster, the veteran Clark went into the box. For the first four innings he pitched "artistic" ball and had the seniors right on his easel but in the fifth the seniors got tired posing as models for his convenience and began knocking his paints and brushes all about the lot.
The seniors tried three pitchers. Patrick Henry Elliott first essayed to do the pitching for the seniors. His thought and composition were good and the faculty took very kindly to his delivery, so much so in fact that he retired in the second innings in favor of McKinnie. With McKinnie in the box and Johnson behind the bat the Seniors now felt confident. It was well known that they had some of the members of the faculty hypnotised and it was thought they could fool the others.

McKinnie soon after retired from the box in favor of Smith who finished the game out while Jackson went behind the bat.
but Johnson soon made a deal with the faculty and quit the game.
There were many features to the game, one was the fast playing of the Chancellor who out of four times at the bat got one base on balls and knocked out three safe hits and who on second base easily and quickly classified and took care of all the diptera coming in his direction. Another was when twenty-five law students accompanied "Jimmie" Green down to second base when he stole that bag. Still another was when "Walker not Sal" ran one of the seniors down between first and second his scantion of the distance between the two bases being perfect. But the greatest of all was when the Chancellor to avoid being caught out at the plate turned and started to make a home run right out through the gate.
The game ended abruptly in the first half of the fifth with the seniors at the bat and nobody out. Some faculty sympathizers seized Smith as he was running home and attempted to hold him till Prof. Penny could pull the right stop and send the ball home. A number of Seniors thinking two could play at that game made a rush for Pitcher Sterling to put him away from the plate. Sterling protested in fierce Greek against such treatment, but he was dragged away after a struggle. Umpire Hogg came rushing up, promptly ruled Sterling out for slugging, looked at his watch and declared the game was at an end. If the ten runs made by the Seniors in the fith are to be counted then they won. If the score goes back to the close of the fourth the faculty one. Manager Adams, so many in the grandstand say, announced that the team ahead at five o'clock would win. On the other hand the manager himself claims the benefit of the rule to the effect that the score must go back to even innings if called for any reason at the close of a half inning. The best way to settle it would certainly be to play another game.

Miller Revistes His Alma Mater. Clyde Miller the celebrated political leader of the Betas was here for two or three days this week. Mr. Miller denied that his visit was in any way connected with University politics, or that he came in answer to a wire from his Beta brethren asking for his assistance in securing the base ball captaincy for them. "Tubby" was looking well and said he had very nearly regained his strength after his long siege of typhoid this spring. Mr. Miller accompanied the ball team to Baker Wednesday and returned the latter part of the week to his home in Osage City

NO GAME WITH IOWA
The Hawkeye is Refuses to Play Football with Us Nex, Fall—A Good Schedule Arranged Without Them Howard.
Manager Jackson has to date arranged the following foot ball games for next fall:
However.
October 15 Ames college at Lawrence.
November 5 Nebraska University at Lawrence.
November 19 University of Minnesota at Kansas City.
November 24 Missouri University at Kansas City.
In addition the management is trying to arrange a week's Colorado trip before the Nebraska game to play a couple of games with the University of Colorado at Denver and with Colorado College at Colorado Springs.
WEEKLY representative said: We feel that Iowa is not treating us right in refusing to use a game at Iowa City next fall. With Nebraska and Iowa it has heretofore been the custom to have the games alternate, playing at Lincoln and Iowa City one year and at Lawrence the next Iowa now on a flimsy pretex refuses to carry out this custom. In return her management proposes to play us at Kansas City Thanksgiving day. As it is well known that Kansas and Missouri are by tradition scheduled to play there on that day for an indefinite number of years to come and it is equally well known by the Iowa management that the same teams are scheduled by agreement to play there this year on that date, the Hawkeye manager's proposition looks very much like a case of cold bluff. Even if this proposition was made in good faith I can see no reason why we should break over our custom and take on a game with Iowa instead of with our natural rival Missouri. Neither from a standpoint of sport or of finance can we see any reason for making this change. We feel that Iowa owes us this game. We paid all her expenses here last fall, treated her royally, defeated them by as small a score as 56 to o as was consistent with straight forward foot ball playing and sportsmanship and now they refuse to give us a return game.
I am also trying to araange a game with the Medics for Carnival week at Kansas City. The Medics are anxious to play then but the faculty has passed a rule for bidding us to play with professional teams and are trying to draw the line at the Medics. I am in hopes however that the game will be played.
Said a prominent crank when approached by a WEEKLY reporter:
"Yes, I saw the schedule in the Kansas City papers and think it is undoubtedly the best arranged for many years. The team will play more first class teams and best of all two of the very best games that with Nebraska and that with Ames will be played here in Lawrence. Iowa is certainly acting very quietly in refusing to meet us but we have a game with Ames, which is the strongest team in Iowa, and with Minnesota, who by the way, will be coached by Jack Minds of Pennsylvania, I guess we can stand it."
