--; SEE :battle, when the wider vision comes, for the world's uplifting. Society may not hope for much from the man who has no aspirations for himself. But dominating all personal ambition, illuminating all personal ambition, glorifying all personal ambition, and finally transmitting all personal ambition to finer metal, hangs and burns the star of a loftier purpose—to throw one's weight at last, in some degree great or small but up to one's limit, into the succor and uplift of his fellowmen, and into the service of his own generation. And I beg you not to generalize me too much. I ask you to keep your personal pronoun well to the front as you listen to me. Do you remember the stirring words of Mordecai, the Jew, to Esther, the young queen, when he was urging her to go in to Ahasuerus and plead for the deliverance of her people? "Who knoweth but thou art come into the kingdom for such a time as this?" And you remember he added significantly, "Oh, yes, if thou altogether hold thy peace at this time, delivery will come from some other place."
OPENING ADDRESS.
DELIVERED BY PROF. A. C. SCOTT O.
THE OKLAHOMA AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
Success Dependent Less Upon Inspiration Than Upon Perspiration-The Address in Full.
Mr. Angelo C. Scott, who holds the chair of Literature in the Oklahoma Agricultural College, delivered the opening address in University chapel.
Mr. Scott is a pleasing speaker and his talk was interesting throughout. He is a brother of Regent C. F. Scott and graduated from Kansas University in '87. The address follows in full.
"I am well persuaded that the greatest thought in the world is the thought of service. I use the simple word. I might very properly in this presence exploit the classic phrase altruism. But I do not choose for this occasion to veil and burden so simple and vital a proposition in the repellant nomenclature of the metaphysician. I do not choose to take it out of every day's life and make a dead and distant thing and theory of t. It is just service, that is all—the greatest thought, I repeat, in the world, whose true practice and conception changes human living from a mean and sordid and unprofitable thing to a thing most high and godlike, service, the halo that encircles every greatest name; that crowns the heads of all true reformers and humanity lovers and world movers everywhere and in all times—all Luthers, Savonarolas, Bunyans, Florence Nightingales, Washington, Lincolnss; the choiceest road to happiness, and if I may revise the Calvinistic catechism a little, the chief end of man. And this is the message I have come far to leave with you;—and where indeed could it be more fity spoken, or more gloriously apprehended, than within these historic walls and at this inspiring hour, and, in presence of this good multitude of young men and women making ready for the world's activities. Oh, the immeasurable outlook of youth! All richness and redness of blood, all bounty of nature, all boundlessness of hope, all rivers, mountains, sylvan shades, and fruitful fields, beckoning and unexplored? Every season has its good and its charm—childhood, the awakening and twittering of dawn; manhood, the fruiting sun of noon; age, the chastened radiance of evening. But youth! Youth is sunrise, jeweled in dew riding in splendor, bringing in the day! Youth has love at its first birth, beauty, health, elasticity, hope, faith, courage—everything. And yet it is of the pathos of human life that youth does not fully comprehend this heavenly endowment. The man who has passed beyond his confines, upon whose brow the frost has begun to gather, it is he who awakes to the full splendor of those irrecoverable days; not that he would tread the way again, if he be, firm on his feet on the heights of manhood; but he is full of amazement that he should have walked so blindly through the rich gifts and prodigal bounty, and the immeasurable opportunities of youth.
Well, we shall not quarrel here, for I agree with you too largely. No philosophy of life is worth constructing that does not somewhere touch human nature and human conditions as they are. I am well content to believe that ambition of personal achievement—personal success, if you choose—being a principle as ingrained and ineradicable in us as the law of self defence, is not only altogether right, but that it furnishes forth the weapons with which men may
"I spoke of 'happiness. And you are saying, no doubt, as men have said from the beginning, 'Just give me success. Just let me win my way in the path I have chosen, and I will answer for happiness. I will have none of your Altrurias, with their colorless activities, their dessicating equalities. I will have acres that harbor speculations, cities that have corner lots, and wheat pits, and good human warfare in them. I will deal with human nature as it is, and not as some Utopian dreamer paints them. No cardinal or priest shall charge me to fling 'away ambition, for I will not do it. I must push and jostle and crowd my way with the rest, and no attenuated sentime nitality shall turn me aside."
Personal strength, then, and personal fitness come first—personal potentiality of achievement. Grow, develop, achieve, make yourself feelable somewhere in the world—for a block, for a mile, for a country, for a state. For so you will put yourself in the way of effective service; thus you will become a chosen vessel of effective service.
A chosen vessel; and it must be physically sound. The good Greek day at last shows signs of youth coming back, when physical excellence and sanity shall lie at the bottom of all virtues, and be a large part of all good religions. Hermes, bearing messages from the gods, must have no languid eye or laggard foot. Athene, planting sciences and arts, must be of swift and steady step. Apollo, sweeping the lyre of poetry and music, must give forth health and sweetness from every line. Any religion that crucifies the body is blasphemy. Any midnight oil propagandist is an enemy of the race. Any man that drives his jaded body forth in the grim hours that lurk before the dawn, sins against his own life. This body, this complicate and wonderful machinery, is a trust to be guarded and cherished more jealously than any holy grail by knight of old, or any grave and secret document by messenger of general or king. And it is irreligious and immoral to distemper it by vile eating, or to poison it by foul breathing, or to stifle and deform it by barbarian dressing, or to tear and rend it by dissipations, or to wear it out or break it down, or to shrivel, defile or pollute it in any way. Who can measure, for example, the impediment to civilization and progress in the death dealing boarding house, with its ghastly breads, its mortal pustries, its menu of abominations of indigestion!
Some choice and master spirits of this world, I know, have fought their way to power through a weak and puy frame. And how I do honor them. They fight against principalities and powers—languor, weakness, repugnance, deadly depression. They conquer the world, the flesh and the devil. That was a dramatic spectacle not often equaled in this world when, at the battle of Neerwinden in the Netherlands, of the one hundred and twenty thousand soldiers of Europe gathered there, the two most terrible in power were the miserable dwarf who directed the irresistible assault of France and the asthmatic wreck who marshalled the forces of England. My Lord Anson, having sent word to Chatham, confined to his bed by a most painful illness, it was impossible to fit out a certain naval expedition within the time limited. Chatham leaped from his bed regardless of the excruciating pain that brought great drops of agony to his brow, and thundered to the messenger: "Tell Lord Anson that he serves under a minister who treads upon impossibilities!" Oh, yes, the world, great sirleast, may well uncover to these pygmies, dwarfs, hunchbacks, epileptics, asthmatics, who have hobbled and wheezed and groaned their way to the topmost places among men—Pope, Nelson, Aristotle, Channing, Surowar, Carlyle.
"But none the less, the rule is otherwise. The rule is that the accomplishing, the effective men of the world, are the men of strong frame, and of sound digestion and steady nerve; whose pulse doth temporarily keep time, and who sleeps of nights. These are the ones to whom the Continued on Page 4.
ABOUT FOOTBALL.
THE MATERIAL AND OUTLOOK FOR
THIS YEAR'S TEAM.
Enthusiasm Runs High and Obstest for Places on the Team Is Close Coach Woodruff Has Returned.
The football training season has begun in earnest. Thirty students who are anxious to uphold the glory of Kansas University's flag in the coming battle on the grid-iron, are out every evening for practice.
A huskier lot of fellows contesting for places on the team, have never been seen on McCook field. The combined efforts of Captain Mosse and Manag r Leland have brought a lot of splendid material to the University this fall.
Captain Mossse and Bert Kennedy have been diligently training the men, Kennedy giving special attention to the candidates for quarter-back.
Mosse, Hess and Avery are the only men of last year's team who have been out for practice, while Buzzl and Simpson of last year's second team are making a good showing. Owen will probably get the position of quarter-back. Moulton, the University sprinter is trying for half-back and will doubtless get a place. There are three promising men who are working for center. Hamil will probably re-enter school and try for his old position.
Altogether the prospect for a good team is very flattering. The advantage of beginning the training with the opening of school if evident
The men have been kicking the ball and tackling so vigorously in the mud caused by the recent rains that to use the words of Sam Usher "They are regular mud-daubere."
The new training quarters although not as convenient to McCook field as was North college, are more roomy, and more desirable on account of proximity to the University.
Manager Leland has arranged the usual series of good games. They are as follows:
K. U. vs. Haskell Indians, at Kansas City, during carnival week.
K U. vs. Ames college, at Lawrence, October 15.
Vol. VII. No. 1.
K. U. vs. Ensworth Medical college, at St. Joe, October 29.
K. U. vs. University of Nebraska, at Lawrence, November 5.
K. U. vs. Missouri University, at Kansas City, November 24.
Mr. Leland is also in correspondence with managers of the teams of the State Universities of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Arkansas. It is quite probable that the team will take a trip through the south and possible also that they will go west, where they will play the teams of the Denver University and of the University of C. lorida.
A great effort is being made to rule out professionalism and Kansas university will have a strident amateur team.
Cuach Woodruff returned Thursday from Ft. Riley, and will now take charge of the team.
The training table will begin next week
week.
The modification of the rules adopted by eastern colleges will be followed by colleges of the west. By these rules the quarter back may pass the ball forward, where formerly he could only pass it back. There is also a change in scoring. A touchdown counts five points and a goal one.
Leland Chosen Manager.
At a meeting of the athletic board yesterday, the selection of Mr. E. J. Leland by Arthur Jackson, for assistant manager was unanimously ratified. Prof. M. W. Sterling was elected a member of the board to take the place of Prof. E. D. Adams, who resigned. H. H. Hess was also elected a member of the board to fill a vacancy.
The University was formally opened with appropriate services Friday. The opening address was delivered by Prof. A. C. Scott of the Agricultural College of Oklahoma. The address was listened to by a large audience of students and citizens of Lawrence. "The Value of Service" was the subject of the address and was highly meritorious, scholarly and appreciated by everyone.
Chas McGee returns to purua a post-graduate course.
Mr. E. E. Brown for Treasurer.
Mr. E. E. Brown for treasurer.
Mr. E. E. Brown, stenographer to the Chancellor, has applied for the position of secretary and treasurer of the University. Mr. Brown has been connected with the University for the past two years. He is thoroughly acquainted with the duties of the office for which he has applied, is trustworthy, and should obtain the position he will fill the office with credit to himself and advantage to the University.
Captain Mose to Freshmen
Captain Moses to Freshmen
There is going to be a football team in the University of Kansas this fall. This is a truism to the old students no doubt. But there are many freshmen in the 'Varsity this term and it is to them principally that I am going to make this appeal. Having thoroughly grasped the fact that it is usual to have a football team here the next thing to state is that it is considered necessary that the team shall be a good one, and shall in every way uphold and live up to the brilliant record of its predecessors.
To have a good team, it is first of all essential to have something of which to make it. What is wanted is new material and lots of it so that the coach and captain will have no difficulty in finding the men they want.
This year very few of the old players have returned, War, death and graduation have decimated the ranks of the team of '97, and further those who have come back have no cinch on their position, as many freshmen think. If better men show up, room must be made for the new blood, and everyone has an equal opportunity to show himself the best man and make the team.
So what I want is men to come out and try for the team. And further, if you do not make the team at the start, don't be discouraged, try again. There are three men who came out on the field every day last year, and whom I am glad to see back in their old positions again. They did not make it last year but are trying again. That is the kind of men I want. They deserve honorable mention. —Simpson, Buzzi, and Woodward.
The second team here is called the "scrubs," as nearly everyone knows, and that title is no synonym of reproach, though it may have been meant originally for such. The success of the 'Varsity team depends mainly on the "scrubs." It is in the practice that the second team gives them that the "Jawhawkers" who battle with Missouri on Thanksgiving day, gain their experience. To the "scrubs" belongs half the glory of victory, half the sorrow of defeat.
I want plenty of "scrubs" this season to help the Varsity win. It ought to be one if the highest, if not the very highest, amation of a young man to make the team during his college career. I wish every student in this University to help me in some way to make a team this year which will be remembered in the annals of the institution.
If you are not able to come out on the field, you can cheer the boys on to victory and encourage new men who may be a little awkward at the start, but who have the right spirit and do not deserve to be laughed at.
We have again obtained the services of Wylie G. Woodruff, one of the greatest coaches in the country, and if only the men come out we can have a foot ball team that is a team.

Again the WEEKLY appears before you guided by new hands. It has ever been, the aim of this publication to faithfully represent the interests of the faculty, of the student body and of the school. It is the expression of the University. The WEEKLY has always received the hearty co-operation of the students and consequently has been successful. It will discuss questions of vital interest to every student and should receive their united support.
Our football prospects were never brighter ___
The fact that almost half of the graduates of '98 have secured position as teachers, reflects much credit on the university but more on the class of '98.
Although the University students who enlisted did not have an opportunity to face the Spaniards, there never was a braver body of young men or one that responded more readily to the country's call.
Geo O Foster, who acted as registrar last year in the absence of Professor Engle, has made application for the office of secretary and treasurer of the University. No words that we might add in Mr. Foster's favor could raise the already high respect which he commands on account of his ability and worth.
The reception or new students at trains has always been a failure. This year two students regularly met trains to welcome new men. Of course students will eventually find the University and obtain rooms, but the pleasant greeting so common to other schools is lacking.
Mr. R. K. Moody has resigned the position of treasurer of the University and has become the general manager of the Stubbs contracting company. The University loses one of its most enthusiastic supporters in Mr. Moody. He has always given thorough satisfaction while in office and has ever been a friend of the students. He was foremost in athletics and his guiding hand will be greatly missed.
Manager Jackson made a good choice when he selected Mr. E. J. Leland as assistant manager of the football team. Mr. Leland has spent his whole time since August 1, resuming that correspondence which was broken off when Mr. Jackson enlisted in June. The schedule games are arranged. There will be a game with Ames college and the team will probably take a trip through the south.
Now that the rushing season is on, new students who are overwhelmed with fraternal favors should reflect where their footsteps are tending. Do you really know what a fraternity is and what its benefits are? Members of the faculty have often said that a student ought not to join a fraternity until he is thoroughly acquainted with it. Such a step should not be taken without due consideration.

OPENING ADDRE38
Continued from Page 4.
Bishop Brooke, of the diocese of Oklahoma and Indian territories, in an address recently delivered before one of the educational institutions of my own territory, put this thought most completely: "The Knowledge that teaches us how to live." he said: "must be gotten at the same time with that which teaches us how to get a living."
This much, then, I have said in behalf of the proposition that one's first duty is to make himself fit for effective service. And now I come face to face with that most specious fallacy, that when a man has done this, when he has made the most of his own life, he has then and thereby made his utmost contribution to the world's good; he has given to society one unit at its highest development. And so by easy logic it may be shown that selfishness lies, after all, at the bottom of the highest human action, and that egoism and altruism are one. Develop yourself to the utmost that is in you, that is the argument, and you have thus best served your fellowmen. Well, I go part of the way in this pleasant conceit, but I do not go to its fatal conclusion. I deny that egoism and altruism are one, but I assert that egoism and altruism are complementary. The man who most nearly attains his own completeness, not thereby does he become a blessing to the world, but thereby he fits himself to be a blessings to the world. Oh, yes, there are the men of transcendent gifts and power, whose contribution to civilization is so vast that it is impertinent to inquire into the motive and impulses of their work. In them egoism and altruism are completely merged. But we are not laying down rules for these.
down rules for And so we come back to law. I said the outset that service is the greatest thought in the world that it is the highest happiness, and that it is the chief end of man. Here you stand at the threshold, wilderness of questions arises before you What shall I doubt? Whither shall I turn What will come to me? What figure sha! I make? How shall I meet this difficulty and this, and this? But here is the ultimate interrogation: What shall I give to society? What shall I be worth to the world? Where will my handiwork appeal in the upbuilding of things? Here is world problem working around you through many veering and oscillation tending steadily, we believe toward progress, evolution, perfection. Loo closely, Is your personal fact or anywhere discoverable in that problem? Oh, the problem will be worked out, never fear. God's purposes will never be wrought out, never fear, not b divine fulmination, or divine intervention or divine manifestation, at all, but just b God's men and women. This will all come about with you or without you If thou altogether hold thy peace; de lervance will come from some other quarter. If fraud and injustice flourish under your face and you make no sign if political debauchery and corruptor stalk around you and you say not on word; if want and hunger appea to you and you turn away; if occasion great or small call loudly for that special gift of yours and you withhold your hand if some issue between right and wrong demand that you declare yourself, and you altogether hold your peace; be assured the attition of advancing civilization will not cease for want of you. The increasing purpose that runs through the ages will not cease for want of you. The increasing purpose that runs through the ages will be realized with your help or without it. But is your hand to be with held? Is your voice to be silent? Are you content to be a mere spectator of human progress and human uplifting? Are you not disposed to inquire if there is not a place in all this for you? Are you not disposed to consider carefully if perseverance you be not come into the kingdom for such a time as this? There is a very convenient and a very fatuous philosophy that declares that whatever is, is right I am not doing certain things, it says, therefore it was not intended I should do them. Somehow the way did not open to me to do this desirable thing, to fill this high station, therefore it was meant for another: Get rid of this parallyzing philosophy. It is just a convenient cloak with which to cover failure. God saw that you were not doing this thing that lay at your hand, and be touched another on the shoulder and said, "Do this
"For such a time as this." Ay, there's the rub! Was there ever a time less favorable to conspicuous and effective service than this? If I had been thrust into the world when Esther was, or David, or Paul, or Luther, or Lincoln! Ah, those were times, indeed to come into the kingdom, when nations trembled, when thrones toterted, when institutions perished, when systems rose—times of crises and storm. There might have been room and place for me in such times as those! Well let me admit that acute periods do
accentuate individual service—do permit men to say definitely and boldly. "This did I; here my hand is seen." Because the great rebellion came, many still alive can say, "I was one to save the Union!" Because the war with Spain came on, thousands of our countrymen have found the opportunity to render signal and goerous service to their own generation.
But now satipy at me, my mother fact that you and I and the multitude must not look to dramatic times of stress and trial and turbulence to call us forth to service. National collisions, stirring and dramatic occasions, convulsions and reverberations that shake the fittest men to the surface—these are the exceptional conditions in these modern days. And it is a satisfactory commentary on the progress of civilization that it is so. Things settle and grow steadier as the world goes on. And so we must expect to make our contribution to the sum of human advancement just in the ordinary vicissitudes of government, just in the ordinary movements of society. And the tremendous and fundamental secret of it all is time. "God works in minutes," says the French proverb. When wealth comes we say then my hand will be outstretched to help. When leisure comes, then will I do this and that for the public good. Thus do we construct a mirage that dissolves as we approach it. The everlasting now, that is the thought. What do you discern today on your right hand or on your left that you may reach forth and do? It is possible, that ten years hence you may write a word poem, or save a battle, or found an asylum; but it is certain that today you can set going some good word, or lend a hand somewhere toward the on-moving of things. Your great deed of the future is a bauble, not worth reckoning among the world's potentialities. The accomplished service of today, though a trifle, has passed into the economy of civilization.
But let us look again. Is this, indeed a dull, mean and sordid time to come into the kingdom—this closing time of the old century, this opening of the new? Believe me, you that are young, you whose lives will be projected far within the shadow of the twentieth century, you have come into the kingdom for the richest and fruitfullest and most glorious time that has yet dawned upon the world. No era of reformation, or clamor of revolution, or clash of civil conflict, ever held opportunities for individual service more rich and varied. What tools time has placed in the hands of the twentieth century—to unlock mysteries, to construct institutions, to upbuild civilization! How the incompatible and magnificent century now closing has cleared the way and cast up the debris. Splendid as its achievements have been in letters and ethics and religion, its imperial triumphs have been industrial and material. How can we doubt that the on-coming century, while not lacking in material splendor, will solve the uses of civilization, problems still more enduring, still more vital to the race—social questions that lie down at the bottom of things, the relations of man to his brother through all the scale of human living? Already these questionings, colosal and momentous, are casting their shadows before. Think not that opportunity has been exhausted. Think not that all great and worthy occasions have had their day. Think not that the last word has anywhere been said. "There is at this moment for you," says our profoundest thinker, "an utterance brave and grand as that of the colo-sal chisel of Phidias or trowel of the Egyptians or the pen of Moses or Dante, but different from all this." Some one wrote of the dawning of the nineteenth century lines which belong with even greater power to the rising of the twentieth:
"Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive,
But to be young was very heaven!"
When, in our own country, was the future so bright and wide with promise? Thank God for the era of national good feeling that seems to be again dawning upon us! Thank God for this day when we may all, regardless of partisan connections, commend the President of the United States; when we may all commend the distinguished citizen and patriot who contested with him for the presidency in the last national campaign; when we may all give great honor and glory and tears to our army and navy; when we may all pledge renewed allegiance and devotion to the flag of our greater America. How our horizon has grown within the year. What problems of civilization have been laid upon us that we cannot shink or put aside. Who shall say, that having once opened the door of civilization and progress in any quarter of the earth, we shall close and bar it again in the interest of mediaevalism, oppression and tyranny. I have no sympathy with the cry of "getting" and "keeping" merely as the means of commercial expansion and national aggrandissement, but I hope

you will all believe and assert that as the agent and missionary of liberty, progress and civilization, the United States should take no backward step, either in the Occident or Orient. In a large sense it may very well be said that the United States has come into the Kingdom for such as this.
But after all the living question is not one of times or seasons; rather the abiding thought that service hath all seasons for its own human want.
L. M, GIBB, Proprietor.
On the memorable field of Crecy, an old Bohemian king, blind, and scarred by many battles, rode into the conflict between two faithful friends. After the fight all three were found dead, their horses standing over them unhurt; and on the shield of the battle scarred king of Bohemia were found the words, "Ich dien," "I serve." And it is a regal motto. The world holds no sentiment more humble or more proud. I commend it to you. Write it on your shield. Carry it in your heart. Let it once possess your life in all your height and
and need and imperfection and aspiration are always in the world, and as long as they abide, service hath a field. And it is not a question of place. Wherever men are thrown together, there some section of the world's destiny is being worked out, and there service hath a mission. And it is not a question of station, of greatness or littleness. Service may be performed largely and in the light, and men may write it in their books, and build it into their monuments, and celebrate it in great pageants; but not less heroic is the service that quietly brings light where darknes was, and quietly gives help where there is need of it. I do not say specifically what one could do or might do in the service of his generation, but I try only to indicate the attitude he should hold to life. I am content if I have been able to raise before you this question, so clearly that you can never quite get away from it: 'What am I doing and what can I do for the world?'

It is easy to say things in print, to assert that the values offered are low so far as clothing is concerned, and that the person making the assertion is, of course, the solitary one. We expect keen and energetic competition, and we meet it in the right way—by selling reliable goods. We cordially invite the students to inspect our clothing, hats, and furnishing goods.

A close observation of the movements of various members of the Senior class indicates that politics in that class are about to burst forth in all fury.

Taylor, John Kane, John Lotty, and Fred Matthews, all popular men, while the friends of John Cloyes, the popular Phi Gam, announce that he will be a candidate for the position.

OPENING ADDRESS.
Continued from Page 1. heavy burdens in this life must be passed, and where the heaviest burdens are, there are the great prizes also. No man of beeble frame and shaking nerve could be president of the United States thirty days and live. Henry Ward Beecher, with his fine genius of illustration, once said that a great intellect in a feeble frame is like a cannon mounted on a rickety carriage—which collapses every time it fires a shot. But again I say and with thankfulness that the exaltation of the flesh is coming back. Health and strength and bigness are prized and striven for. Athletic sports are regaining something of the honor and dignity which the games of the palaestra had among the philosophers, orators, poets, warriors and statesmen of Greece. The college graduate is no longer expected to be cadaverous, and infirm on his feet—"the native hue of resolution suckled o'er with the pale cast of thought"-but alert, strong, clear-eyed, full-tched. And the women likewise—walkers, riders of bicycles, members of amphibians and heavier, and abler than the young women of twenty years ago. Right living physically is tremendously close to right living morally, and blessed is the young man and the young woman who finds out early that disease is perilously near to sin, and that the first lesson of life is to honor and cherish the body.
And then to find the work that nature intended us to do, this is next—to understand our own strength. Emerson says, "The crowning fortune of a man is to be born with a bias to some pursuit, which finds him in employment and happiness." If only some necromancy would be invoked over the head of every young man as he steps forth to strip for the race of life, to say to him authoritatively, "Here is your path, run in it." It is so pitiful to see men struggling against their own character and constitution for years; and when it comes to a life long conflict, the man against himself and everything that beckons to him, going to his tasks like a gallery slave scourged to his dungeon, then it is tragedy. For I hold with Sir Henry Lytton Bulwer that no man struggles perpetually and victoriously against his own character. What a lot of melancholy misfits the world holds, Preachers so full of praise, so void of divine fire, so vapid and earthy, that the heavenly message turns to dust and rubbish on their lips. Lawyers as little kin to the controversies, the refinements, the technicalities, the sublime drudgery of the severe and magnificent profession, as Shakespeare to Graddrig. Doctors born to handle the chisel and the saw instead of the lancet and the scalpel. Farmers whose trenchant brain and facile tongue mark them for the thunders of the forum. Tradesmen whose fertility of resource and keenness of analysis point direct to the wig and gown of the advocate. Men everywhere pitifully uncovering their weakness to the world, because they have chosen, or have been driven, to live by their weakness instead of by their strength, pouring out mere feeble and shallow rills when in them lie unsounded wells of strength. Dean Swift, cynical, but wondrous keen, says: "It is an uncontroverted truth, that no man ever made an ill figure who understood his own talents, nor a good one who mistook them." The assertion carries its proof—for where one's treasure is there will his heart be also; where love leads on labor will follow—and love and labor will let no man fail. I have seen teamsters in the Rocky Mountains as complaisant and profanity—as the orator victorious in debate, or the poet suddenly awakened to fame. And that is it. Be a Napoleon of teamsters, a prince of shoesmakers. The choice of one's vocation is a right as in violable as the choosing of one's husband or one's wife, and a right to be exercised as carefully. And it must not be abridged by any artificial environment, or by any false conceit of station, or—I say it reluctantly—by any wish of parent. If only a figure from the crowd beckon you plainly and say 'come with me' then count yourself blessed among men and go where you are bidden. Ah, but there be many who hur question after question into the abyss and no voice comes back. Nature does not often take her children by the hand and lead them forth, as with her Handels, Bachs and Beethovens, her Pascals and Newtons and Michael Angelos, her Benjamin Wests, her Faradays and Edisones. To these she spoke authoratively, passionately, imperiously; and while yet children they flung open the temple of music, science, painting, poetry, and entered in. Nor does she often thrust men forth relentlessly—Bruno, Huss, Paul, Socrates, 'from the day of their birth,' says Emerson 'taking a bee-line for the rack of the inquisitor.' But I think she speaks to us all in esome fashion. Our wishes, the French proverb says, 'are the presentments of our capacities'; and it is deepest true, and it holds deep encouragement In every man not wholly sodden
there lies. I think, some natural bent and aptitude that should be sought for as the miner digs for the mother vein. Oh, yes, some trick, some trifle light as air, a fluttering scrap of paper, a broken chord of music, has revealed many a man to himself and set him on his right way. "The history of man is a calendar of straws." The youth, David Hume, is appointed to champion the cause of infidelity in a petty debate and becomes the renowned and life-long foe of Christianity. The boy Nelson sails a mimic ship upon a mimic sea, and so is born the hero of the Nile and Trafalgar.
But these revelations, omens, phantasms, are not for many. For the most of us it is just this simple and vital rule, dare to do that which you can do best. Stand on your own feet. Follow your own head. My observation is that the costliest mistakes a man makes are those wherein he is persuaded out of following his own judgment." We are not in peril of overconfidence. We are far too humble, most of us. We believe the thoughts of others are so much larger and wiser than our own. We bow to a voice. We knuckle down to an assertion. We are subservient to a mere look and hearing of authority. □ "And let me pursue this thought a little out of its channel. No man may dodge a necessary controversy and keep his strength. No issues that must be fought out for weal or woe, wherein the interests of society or community are involved. God owes something to the fighters, and neither access nor reward of merit shall come to him who will not struggle with the one side or the other. When Rome was in the throes of the great conspiracy against Julius Caesar and men were allying themselves either with the conspirators or with the fries ad of Caesar, Cicero courted both parties. And when Cassius inquired of Casca if Cicero said anything when pressed by the mob to declare himself, "Ay," said Casca, "the spoke Greek." Most eloquent of men, most skilled of all his fellows in the language of Rome, when the crucial hour of his whole life came, the time of all times when he should have spoken the speech of the people, in which he should have spoken Cicero, trembled and spoke Greek.
An having chosen our work, even though not quite wisely, having put the hand to the plow, shall we turn back? No, not lightly, not without most formidable and compelling reason. Ten years of faithful labor, in almost any field, will yield returns that will go far to compensate for the woes of uncongeniality. But shall we ever turn turn back? Ob Gcd, yes, if it be a tragedy! Shall a man's life be made a hideous and revolting task, when somewhere lies work that would command his love and enthusiasm? Shall he grin 1 to the end in the dark when there is a place for him in the light? The world is a richer and a greater and a better world for the men who have turned back—turned back from law, from divinity, from medicine, from journalism, from blacksmitting, from cobbling—a richer and greater and better world because men have not been disobedient to the heavenly vision, because they have taken another and a longer and surer look at the stars and have at last read their destiny aright.
And so let us say that the young man is sound in body, and that he is fitted to his place. And now let him learn the immense delight and the inexorable necessity of labor. What a miserable atom a man seems as he stands face to face with his life's problem in the aggregate. But put work into the atom and it will level the mountain—by pebbles, by spadefuls, by bod loads. I am amazed at the impossibilities that dissolve before the sovereign talent of labor. Young men, penniless from the shop or the farm, pushing their hard way through a college course to the bonors of their class; dull and stolid minds whetted and polished and quickened and strengthened to effective and commanding service; an uuleterted tinker working through pitiful and infinite toil to the creation of the world's great allegory; a blacksmith dictating to scholars and a stone mason revolutionizing the study of geology. But amusement deepens to reverence when I think of Copernicus and Kepler and Newton and Darwin and Tesla and Edison. For be not deceived. No tongue of fire hung over these men. No fire from heaven descended upon them. No revelation flashed across their vision. They dug their revelations out of the bowels of darkness. They were down on their knees, "burying their brows," says Browning, "burrowing and building broad on the roots of things." It was nineteen years of hard work from the fall of the apple to the announcement of the law of gravitation. Kepler's third law was the culmination of twenty-three years of unremitting toll, Edison drily says that success and achievement depend not half so much upon inspiration as upon perspiration.
Deputy Supreme Scribe, no Renowed High Prelate. No High and Mighty Past Keeper of the Seal, no Most Magnificent and Truly Consequential Grand Outside Watch, no goats, or buzzsaws, or merry-go-rounds, or 42nd degrees, or opening odes, or sick brothers or brothers in distress, or bob-tail flushes, or "full houses," or banquets, or swelled heads, or fantastic processes led by billy goats, and followed by—some of the most elegant gentlemen I have known. It is called the Ancient Order of Devoted Diggers. I do not know who bestowed this playful title upon it, but it will pay you to join. It is an "ancient order," indeed, this magnificent brotherhood of hard work. Sent into the world with the primal, eldest curse upon it, it has been the all-father of blessings. It has pierced mountains, subdued seas, uncovered knowledge, brought sciences and arts, planted civilizations. No wonder every language of progressive men has chrystalized into a prowler the illimitable power of labor. It is the key that locks all mysteries and demonstrates all possibilities. What is in your life? You do not know. Yonsea a little talent, a small facility, a certain acquirement; but your horizon shuts "own very closely." Call in work, the mit-de maker; set him to pushing, straining, digging, and then note how the flabby talent begins to gather strength, how the power of achievement greatens, how the walls of knowledge rise and grow and spread, how here, and here, and here, your small horizon lifts, and breaks and rolls back like a scroll. Let no man belittle the possibilities of his own life; for no man may measure the possibilities of labor. The rail splitter, with one year of schooling, rises to write classics for succeeding generations of his countrymen, and to live on always as the emancipator. What have the college man and woman more than their fellows who lack degrees? Vantage ground a little higher, that is all. Tools a little sharper, that is all. But the race is yet to be run; and it is not always to the swift. The temple is yet to be built; and it may be that the keen and polished tools will gather rust, and that the unfashionable kit of the plodder will raise the firm and loftier walls.
I have heard of a new organization under the sun. It has no Grand Mogul that I know of, no Serene Potentate, no Most Worshipful Right Reverend
And then work is the father of so many other conquering virtues. Your hard worker has courage. When he learns the lesson of labor, and where, there and then he learns also the lesson of courage. He goes with Browning's great thought:
"Then welcome each rebuff
That turns earth's smoothness rough.
Each sting that bids nor sits nor stand.
And he has cheerfulness and optimism. Keep tab on the things that worry you. Note what becomes of them, and observe what a startlingly large proportion of them dissolve into thin air. Modern philosophy will appreciate the keen point of the famous epigram of Epictetus, even if it can not wholly adopt its morality: "The door is open. If you wish to retire, go; if you stay, don't grumble!" And then he has learned patience, your worker. Lincoln is reported to have said to the war governor of Illinois, who was somewhat impatient of the slow progress of the war, "Be still, Dick, and see the salvation of the Lord!" Do thy work, brave heart, and then be still and see the salvation of the Lord. Honor the present hour, and some future hour will surely honor thee. "Nor sit, nor stand, but go," says Browning, seer of the century. Ah, blind! Infights. We do so use this hour, this day, just as a standing place, or a sitting place, from which to gaze and plan into the future. Yonder, and yonder, and yonder, we say, I shall do this and that. Fools and blind! "Write it on your heart," says Emerson, "that every day is the best day in the year. Every day is Doomsday." I have somewhere come across the pregnant thought that the days come to us like veiled figures, bearing rich gifts. But they say nothing, and if we fall to take the treasures, they silently carry them away. "Two men I honor," says Carlyle. "First the toil-worn craftsman that with earth made implement laboriously conquers the earth and makes her man's. Venerable to me is the hard hand,crooked, coarse, indefeadily royal. Venerable, too, the rugged face; for it is the face of a man living manlike. And second, him who is seen to tolling for the spiritually indispensable. We name him artist, inspired thinker, who with heaven made implements conquers Heaven for us!"
Well, this is the doctrine of work with a vengeance! Is there, then, to be no surcise from toil? Yes, long enough to conserve the health of the body. Long enough to fill up with the immeasurable bounty of nature—flower, bird, forest, stream, mountain, ocean. Ah, to keep close to these! To be intimate with them! To use them to the full as our own very property! For so they are, all hours; all mine, though I be a beegar. I am rich incompatably in aromatic and health giving mountain forests, in flower strewn prairies, in woodland and meadow with deep secrets of their multitudine life, in
vast oceans. 'Tis pitiful the things by which we are rich or poor,'—again says Emerson, our own philosopher, our matchless user of words—"Tis pitiful the things by which we are rich or poor,"—a matter of coins, coats and carpets, a little more or less stone, or wood or paint, the fashion of a cloak or hat; like the luck of naked Indians, of whom one is proud in the possession of a glass bead or a red feather, and the rest miserable in the want of it. But the treasures which nature spent itself to amass,—the secular, refined, composite anatomy of man, which all strata go to form, which the prior races, from infusory and saurian, existed to ripen, the surrounding plastic natures; the earth with its foods; the intellectual, temperamenting air; the sea with its initations; the heaven deep with worlds, and the answering brain and nervous structure replying to these; the eye that looketh into the deeps, which again look back to the eye, abyss to abyss;—these, not like a glass bead, or the coins or carpets, are given immeasurably to all This miracle is hurled into every beggar's hands."
And now specifically as to your way here. Wide and inviting as the field is, I am going to touch but one thing. It is common with college men, after a longer or shorter experience with the world activities, and greater or less embarrassment by reason of the lack of practical availability of their college training, to assert with emphasis that extreme specialization in education—that is the thing And it is a dangerous plea, dangerously effective and menancing. stand here to combat it with all my strength, and never more confident of my ground. I do not have to plead for the higher education in this presence. That is what you are here tor. But it is the higher education that picks out one particular star, and pushes after it unregardless of all the glorious constellations that beset the way. In my mind the higher education is also the broader education and I plead for that. The plea for over-specification is the plea of the almighty dollar. The plea for broad and comprehensive culture is the plea of the higher life. Everywhere young men are rushing straight from the cowl culture of the high school into the law school, or worse still, into the lawyer's office; straight to the counting house pell-mell into every avenue of gain, unwilling to money getting the rich four years of the college course And everywhere young men in our colleges, under generous elections, are taking the narrowest road and the shortest cut to some special degree that will yield quick pecuniary returns. It was a wise man who said that the educational man is he who knows something of everything and a great deal of one thing. And having said so much. I am now ready to say that specialization is a great thing, an indispensable thing, the money getter, a world mover. Only, let it be built upon a foundation of wide and generous and Catholic culture. What is our education for? The answer comes quick from many sides, "To enable us to get a living," Well, yes, that is first; but I beg you to make the important distinction that it is not all and it is not chief. I utterly misapprehend its ultimate purpose if it is not to equip us to lead more sane and full and rational lives, to desire more wholesome and reasonable things, to apprehend something more of God's universe and the possibilities of life than the mere scraping together of dollars and the mere ministering to the wants and weaknesses of the body—if it is not to make us more resourceful for happiness for ourselves and for others, and to strengthen us against the deadening and disheartening things of life.

WILL PLAY MEDICS.
FERMISSION GRANTED BY THE AD-
VICE,VISIOR COMMITTEE.
A Game Will be Played Between K. U.
and the Medics at Kansas City
October 5th.
一。
At a meeting of the advisory board Friday morning permission was granted the management of the football team to play the team of the Medical college at Kansas City, October 5th.
There was much difficulty in obtaining this permission. The advisory board is strongly opposed to anything that savors of professionalism, and by permitting the game it feared to promote that which it was trying to guard against. Consequently when a petition with almost 400 names attached, asking for the game, was presented to them Wednesday, they refused the permission.
Thursday the matter was appealed to the council, which referred it back to the committee, with the instruction that the game should be allowed if certain objections were overcome.
Friday morning the advisory committee met again, and at that meeting granted the desired permission.
Mr Gant of Kansas City has been at the University for two days and has worked ardently in favor of the management.
The concession has highly elated the team and management. They hope by it to lower the athletic debt, early in the season.
Among the faculty Professors Clark and Wilcox have worked hard for the game.
The Kansas team was given permission to play the game with the Medics, and the following resolution and agreement, gives the details of the conclusions arrived at:
The game will be played at Kansas City, October 5th, carnival week, and a splended attendance is assured.
Resolved. That this committee, having found the breaking of the contract in regard to the last football game with the University Medical college of Kansas was agreed to by the Kansas university that game hereby sanctions a football game with the Medics of Kansas City on October 5, 1898, under the agreement hereto appended.
AGREEMENT
Submitted by Dr. Gant, dean of the University Medical college of Kansas City. That a committee of three be selected, one each from the Kansas City alumni of Kansas university, Missouri university, and the University Medical college, said committee to decide upon that upon the grounds; (b) that any player is not a bonafide member of the school doing full and regular work or (z) that he is receiving renumeration for his services as a football player; that the managers of the two teams will abide and respect as final the decision of this committee in case of such protest; that ten days before game day, when the two schools, the managers shall send to each other a list of all players and substitutes to be used in such games, no one to be permitted to play who has not been named in the list, and approved by the above committee; that the University medical college shall adopt for next year, to govern its athletic affairs, the rules known as 'The President's Agreement' subject to some minor conditions playing in other institutions, length of time any one man may play, which rules as w戴ed cannot be justly applied, to a medical school receiving graduates from other schools.
Heedless of the warning conveyed in the story of the "spider and the fly" our reporter ventured in Marcy's den. A visit to Marcy's work room is always interesting and of course our representative has lots of things to tell.
Marcy's Plaster Casts
He has purchased a new 14x14 camera, which is placed on a table fourteen feet in length. With it he can enlarge pictures a great deal more than can be done with ordinary cameras. Another peculiar quality of the camera is that it uses wet plates instead of the dry ones which are common now.
Mr. Marcy was interested in half-tone work and photography. He spent five weeks in Chicago last summer with the Bitter Engraving Company. For the past year he has been doing splendid work in half-tones, all of which he learned without any instruction except that which can be obtained from books, and the practice he received this summer will make his work especially desirable.
Another departure of Marcy's is that he
is now making plaster casts from living models. The way in which these casts are obtained is interesting. First the individual is laid down upon a long table, and tubes are inserted into the nostrils. The face is covered with a viscous substance and the head is placed in a sort of box after which plaster parts is poured in over the face until the box is filed. This forms the mould, into which the plaster which forms the cast is poured.
"There are an number of sensations which one experiences," says Mr. Marcy, "when these casts are taken. The person feels as if he was buried a thousand feet deep."
The practice of taking plaster casts from living beings has almost died out. It used to be very common in the time of Madison.
The contest for places on the 'Varsity team is still very close. The training table was started. Monday evening, and fourteen men have been selected, who now reside at headquarters. They are Mosse, Avery, Etchelle, Speak, Owen, Buzzi, Simpson, Tipton, Tucker, Hess, Silvers, Harrison, Woodward and Wilcox.
Mr. Marcy makes all the half-tones for university publications and is interested just now in making book plates. He has also constructed a new kind of camera, but what its advantages are, he has refused to divulge.
A part of the line up has been selected. Wilcox of Clay Center, who is very active and weighs 180 pounds will play center.
Hamil and Mosse, who have played on the team before, will retain their old positions as guards.
Tipton, of Topeka, who is also fast and heavy, will 'play one tackle, and Etchelle, a new man from Arizona, will play the other.
The Line up.
For quarter, there is Owen, who has had some experience; Algee, who has played a little and Hess, who played successfully the position of half back on last year's team.
For ends there are four candidates,
Avery, who played on last year's team,
Simpson and Buzzi, who played on the second team and Blockberger, who held the position of end last year.
For half-back there are four candidates:
Hess, Speak, who played full back last year. Moulton a ten second man who has had experience on local teams and Tucker, who weighs 171 and is very fast.
There are three candidates for fullback;Silvers who played on the Lawrence high school team two years ago, Harrison who was compelled to give up the game lost year on account of his eyes, and Charlie Johnson, who several years ago gained much reputation by the way he played full back on the University team.
The team will be much heavier than the one last year. The line will average 1013-7 pounds and the halves 1014.
The most of the candidates are new men of practically no experience and it will be some time before they will work together. However, we have all confidence in Coach Woodruff. He made a very successful team last year and promises that this one will be better.
The teams line up every evening, and the practices are becoming very interesting.
Woodward has been appointed captain of the second team. He has had considerable experience, as he played on last year's second team.
There seems to be more general interest manifested in football than ever. There is no lack of material.
The first team will receive good practice at the hands of the second team, which is exceptionally strong.
Library Hall is being fitted up for the school of Painting and Drawing. This change will be appreciated by the Fine Arts students, but the readers in the Library are doubtful whether they will enjoy the school being situated over their heads.
We will probably have a game with Minnesota University.
The big boilers for the Fowler shop building were transferred to the University grounds Thursday.
Is K. U. to have a Glee club this year? Last year's club was quite a success and this year there should be a Glee club that will beat all previous ones. It is high time that some steps should be taken towards organizing if there is to be one.
TWO CRACK TEAMS.
KANSAS CITY AND INDIANAPOLIS
PLAY BASE BALL ON MC-
COOK FIELD.
Dale Gear, an old K. U. Student Who Won for K.C. the Decisive Game in the Western League Race, Pitches.
They have come and gone. McCook field still bears the footprints of the two crack ball teams of the Western league. Indianapolis and Kansas City played an exhibition game in Lawrence Thursday afternoon. The attendance numbered 500, which is an exceptionally good crowd for any Lawrence athletic feature. It was through the efforts of Dale
Although the game was not so snappy as those when the fight for the pennant was on, still it showed the people base ball as it should be played.
It was through the efforts of Dale Gear that the game was brought here.
Dale Gear pitched the first four innings for Kansas City. Gear has pitched four games in eight days and the strain which he has been under showed plainly. Carney followed him in the box and
Hawley pitched for Ind'anapolis and did good work throughout the game, although his support was weak at critical moments.
Williams, for Kansas City, made a splendid catch and prevented a run for Indianapolis.
Slagle, for Kansas City, played his usual good game.

All the county papers that come to the library contain numerous items similar to the following: 'Harry—— is going to attend K. U. this fall. Harry is one of the city's most promising young men, having graduated from the high school last spring with honors. He delivered one of the best orations we have ever had the pleasure of hearing, and his professors all speak very highly of his ability and character. We recommend him to K. U. students. etc. A young man who had all these nice things said about him came up on the hill last week to register and produced a recommendation that his professor had written for him, addressed to Chancellor Snow and assistants. This untutored Freshman will be roughly awakened by some final examination and find that recommends do not count so much after all.
Miss Anda Miller 97 has been elected principal of the high school at Walton, Kansas.
--when buying school books and supplies. We are keeping up with the times in new books and fine stationery. All we ask is a trial.
SNOW HALL NOTEe.
The material collected by the department of paleontology in western Kansas last summer arrived Tuesday morning.
Dr. Williston went to Topeka Wednesday.
There will be three paleontological papers in the next Kansas University Quarterly.
E. E Volgts was on the hill Wednesday, greeting old friends. He was on his way to Monterey where he has accepted a position as chemist for a large smelter at a salary of $1500 a year. Volgts did special work in mineralogy and assaying under Prof. Haworth, last year and obtained a position as chemist in a smelter in Pueblo. By his energy and his interest in his work and his employer's welfare, he at once became a most competent and valuable man and was offered this position in Monterey with bright prospects for the future.
The gymnasium room has been divided and one-half is now used by classes in zoology. This has necessitated three divisions of the freshman physical culture class.
Professor Smith is putting in baths and making other changes, which will greatly increase the efficiency of his department.
Professor M. A. Barber, assistant in Botany, has received three offers of positions this summer; the Agricultural college of Wymong, Barnard college of New York and a fellowship at Chicago university.
The Barb Party.
The museum received a large fossil fish from Mr. Morse of Iola, Friday, the specimen was cleaned and almost perfect in every respect.
The Barbs began the social life of the year last night at Pythian Hall, in the first Barb dance of the year. There were about fifty couples present, among whom were many practically strangers at the beginning of the evening's enjoyment, but who, failing in with the easy sociability manifested by the Barbs, soon felt quite initiated into Barb society. The dancers seemed to enjoy themselves nearly as well as if it were the dead of winter, the perfect dancing season. The party was a very enjoyable affair with much credit due its promoters.
Senior Law Election.
The Senior Laws yesterday after a good deal of wrogging elected Blockberger president of their class. As a usual occurrence in all Senior Law classes in K.U. the cry of fraud comes from the defeated and another election is demanded by them, but the supporters of Mr. Blockberger claim his election to be a fair one in every way and refuse to go into another election. Mr. Blockenger is fully capable to act in the capacity to which he has been chosen, and for the sake of harmony further contest in the class may be avoided. The defeated candidates were Butler and Davis.
When a "fixer" approached one of the prominent young ladies in the Senior class in regard to class election, the other day, she startled the said "fixer" by announcing that she would do as she blank pleased.
For the benefit of those who do not know, and who are interested, we will say that "Lord Pochher's" saddle was under the seat of his trap at the game Thursday.
Frank Shellabarger, sporting editor of the Kansas City Journal, was in Lawrence Thursday to write up the Kansas City-Indianapolis game.
Shorty Hamil was on the hill yesterday to register.

Every student should buy an athletic ticket. ___
In an unsuspecting moment we appointed a man, whom we deemed worthy, to the position as assistant editor-in-chief. Now that same young man has taken unto himself the colors of a fraternity.
The selection of Miss Agnes Lee for editor of the senior class annual was a good one. Miss Lee has been associated with the WEEKLY for the past two years and in all her work has shown more than ordinary ability. The success of the annual is assured.
There is a report that a University band is to be organized in the University this fall. We should have one. Nothing would so urge our boys on to victory on McBook field as a band playing in the grand stand. And there are a number of other University events where a band would be welcome addition.
At Baker they are talking of base ball for next spring. The Orange says: "Now that there is no football here nor any dream of it any longer, the entire attention of athletic men should be turned upon athletic games that can be played." What will Baker do without the exciting games of "thumbs up" with which she whiled away the winter months of last year?
Those "rickety-rous" which are heard every evening and last until the wee small hours of the night are the juvenile expressions of joy which our fraternities give in the event of "roping in" a new man. The evident appreciation of the member may fell him with pride and high importance for a time, but later he will realize his true position and find that he is classed only with the common run of fraternity men.
The sale of athletic tickets for the coming year is on. Every student should purchase one of these tickets. He owes it to himself and to the school. The price of the ticket is much below the sum of admission to all the games. An unusually good series of games will be played this year, Nebraska, Ames and perhaps one or two others, and then there is a number of ball games in the spring. The Athletic association is still in debt. A heroic effort was made last year to pay this but owing to bad weather, the series of ball games received poor crowds. There is no better opportunity to show your loyalty to the University than to buy one of these tickets and go out and yell for the boys.
Application and enthusiasm should be the attributes of every college student. Application to studies makes the path of college life an easy one. Enthusiasm makes the school progress. An interest in college enterprise, the support of college representatives in' the various contests of the college year, and an individual desire to do something for the school yourself, create college spirit. If you cannot play football or take part in debate and oratory, you can at least aid those who do. This year's football team needs your support. There is nothing which so stimulates a man to effort as the presence of a number of his associates. Practice on
the field will be much more earnest if watched by a number of students. The team is new this year. Defeat at the opening of the season would have its evil effect, perhaps upon a whole series of games. So give the team your hefty support. Make it win.
The Senior class election is over, and much ill feeling is present. Not merely over the defeat of certain candidates, but on account of the way in which it was done, although it is generally acknowledged that the successful candidate is as good, or perhaps better than either of the others. The split in the class at this time of the year, is unfortunate. It is detrimental to its best interests. There should be unity at any cost. All's fair in war" should be a comfort to the disappointed ones, and a feeling of fellowship should pervade the whole class.
William Allen White of the Emporia Gazette never misses an opportunity to criticise the University. He has been at it again this summer. To most men the memory of college day is the most pleasant of all. They honor the institutions and look with pride on the progress of their alma mater. Not so with Mr. White. He never misses an opportunity to cast some slur at the University. A man with such talents as _he possesses should not occupy his time in groundless criticism when he might be writing words that would build up a monument to his memory.
The existence and success of the WEEKLY is made possible only by the liberal patronage of its advertisers. These men are the ones who compose the prominent and energetic business class, and they treat their customers right. If, then, our advertisers give us the WEEKLY, we should at least give them the consideration of reading their ads and giving them the first chance for our trade. It will save us money and discharge and obligation which we owe them to reciprocate their support. When an advertiser asks if you read his announcement in the WEEKLY, do not, be forced to say that you have not, but show him that you appreciate his good will toward the student's paper.
University Geological Expedition.
The party consisted of Prof. S. W. Williston, A. Stewart, A. W. Beede and Sydney Prentiss. During the one month the party was out it made explorations chiefly in the Smoky Hill river and west to the state line. Special attention was given to the exploration of uppermost cretaceous which had never before been examined. Prof. Williston shipped back something like a ton of boxed specimens, the most important of which were from the Pierre Cretaceous including a number of fishes turtles and saurians, new to the University and to science. The most interesting specimen found was a nearly complete skeleton of a Mososaur with bones nearly in position, skin preserved for the most part with contents of stomach. This is in large slabs and will be mounted this winter and placed in the museum. The only other one known is one found by Chancellor Snow. This one promises to be superior to the other in all respects. Fully half of the material found will be placed in the museum and will furnish material for papers for professors, assistants and students.
Class Election.
They're standing round, those Seniors are
The under grades are frowned upon.
Should they not hasten past.
They're on the steps in anxious groups,
Rach with a scowling brow;
And talking very fast
The snap of talks that float the halls,'
Are full of politics;
The "Junior Barbs" in "No. 12."
Oh, those are trials
For who is false, and who is true?
It's class election now.
The Masque.
No, oh, those I have. And "No, I have not pledged my votes—"
But bless me, what a row?
Why all this clamor, all this noise?
Why all this clamor, all this noise?
I please stop now.
It's class election now. —C.G.L.
The dramatic society of the University met at North college Wednesday evening. Prof. Vickery gave a short talk, which was very much appreciated. Three dramas are in progress and will be presented soon. This is composed of the University people.
The Same Old Story.
"Found at last!" said the Freshman, as he pounced into Prof. Adam's room where the professor was hearing a class recite, "Why I have hunted for you everywhere." That particular Freshman hadn't been in Lawrence but a week until he had located all his professors.

SOCIETY.
The season just passed has been like every other one—different people doing the same old things. There has been the same round of teas, receptions and hops, the same triumphs and the same regrets.
The rushing season with its triumphs and heartburnings is virtually over and the over-worked fraternity man can now begin to think of his studies. To the Barb, who is a Barb from principal and not necessity, the rushing season is very amusing, but to the fra man it is a very serious time on the success or non-sucess of which depends the standing of his fraternity through the year.
Among the women's fraternities the Kappa Alpha Theta has led in the number of new girls pledged. The new wearers of the black and gold are Miss Rachel Pugh of Independence, and Misses Marie Nelson, Pearl Constable and Nina Drake all of Kansas City, Missouri.
The Pi Beta Phis are very proud of three new girls who wear the wine and blue. They are Miss Mame Spencer, of Lawrence, Miss Loren Leslie, of Hutchinson and Miss Florence Hawk, of Abilene.
The Kappas also are wearing the two blues for three new members. Miss Esther Wilson, of this city, Miss Edith Parker, of Minneapolis, and Miss Jane Harmon, of Ohio.
Among the men's fraternities, the season has been more productive. The men of Phi Kappa Psi are very proud of three acquisitions: M, Hutchings, of Kansas City, and Messrs. Hale, Hamilton and Rob Garver, of Topeka.
The Phi Delta Theta has the largest number of new men, and are wearing colors for Messrs. Jewett, Murphy of Colorado; Mize of Aitchison; Bowen of Independence and McMath of Fort Scott.
Not less to be congratulated is Phi Gamma Delta, who claim Messrs.Cochran, of Plainville, Sinclair, of Independence, and Reitz, of Topeka.
The Beta Theta Pis have pledged three men, Messrs. Bradford of Eldorado, Bliss of Hiawatha and Nicolls of Olathe.
Dr. O'Bryon entertained the Phi Delts with a spread this week in honor of his approaching marriage.
The Sigma Chis have four new members, Messrs. Kellogg. Jones. Tilford and Anderson.
Miss Hair'et Ayres was on the hill several days this week.
The Kappas gave a very delightful pavilion party Friday night at the Bower-sock home.

His Conscience.
Mr. Charles Gleed recently went through several of the army hospitals near New York. He found one in charge of a young Kansas man, Dr. Ernest Robinson, son of the late Professor D. H. Robinson, of the state university. Dr. Robinson left a Boston hospital to take up this work and is giving it his enthusiastic and undivided attention. Mr. Gleed says he skurinized the camps as closely as he knew how for the purpose of finding something wrong. In every instance he found the best of sanitary arrangements. The water supply is the same as that used in the city. The cooking was first-class and the tents had double tops and elevated wooden floors. The camp where Dr. Robinson is located (Hamilton) has the personal care and attention of Miss Helen Gould, who supplies everything needed, which is not supplied in the regular way. -Lawrence journal.
A member of the Senior class, at a former election openly refused to support any member of the class for the class presidency, whom he knew cheated in examinations. And now it is reported that this same fellow did borrow a theme and appropriate the entire contents of the same unto himself. That he copied said theme and handed it into the English department t and received thereon a passing grade, His crime has found him out!

A Poor Job.
The chapel has been repaired and repainted but as to the improvement there is some question. Formerly there was a monotonous sameness about the dingy colored walls; but now the bright tints through which lurk unlightly spots of black are almost as unpleasing to the eye.

Ph Fi Phis (in chorus): Is--There? Honest? Sigma Chi--Yes! She came in this morning and she's down at the Eldridge now with her papa. Say she's swell! You want her, too. I made an acquaintance with her at the junction in K. C. O-o, o-o! And the coin that she got.
Pt Phi:—Say girls let's take her to the ball game this afternoon. We'll get her all right. Wonder what her pa looks like! Sigma Chi:—I'll speak a good word for you.
Pi Phis—(trripping away) Well, we're off. You sure she has the money?
Sigma Chi:—Yes, she dresses out of sight.
Pi Phi—and at the Eldridge house too! Hurry girls.

STUDENTS ATTENTION.
Talk is cheap but facts are stubborn things. It is easy to say things in print, to assert that the values offered are low so far as clothing is concerned, and that the person making the assertion is, of course, the solitary one. We expect keen and energetic competition, and we meet it in the right way—by selling reliable goods. We cordially invite the students to inspect our clothing, hats, and furnishing goods.

Had the bids for the construction of the tunnel which is to connect the power house and the shops have been accepted, the work would have cost about $1,400.

Frank Foster was a member of the Junior law class last year, and made many warm friends among his associates while here, who will be sorry to hear of his death. He trained with the football team last spring and would have doubtless made the team this year he had lived. His University friends wish to express their sympathy in behalf of his afflicted parents.

A number of students went to Kansas City Tuesday to see the ball game between the Blues and Indianapolis, which was to decide the race for the pennant. Dale Gear who graduated from the Law department last year, twirled the ball for the Blues, and won the game. Gear pitched Friday against Milwaukee, Sunday and Tuesday against Indianapolis. Whenever he comes to the bat he receives the applause of the fans, and is the general favorite of the Kansas City team. He, together with three others of the Blues have been purchased from Caplain Manning by the management of the Philadelphia team for the coming season.
Dale Gear Wins.
Nowwithstanding the fact that the "laws" received a reputation last year for smashing furniture. they are to have a new set of chairs in their department, Prof. Green having implicit confidence in the boys if they only had a chance, obtained an appropriation sufficient to buy new chairs for both rooms of his department and they will be placed in right away. This is a circumstance of great satisfaction for the "laws," and no doubt they will treat their new, high-backed and swell furniture with a great deal of regard, the old chairs, rickety and glueless, will all be hustled off to Nate's hospital.
The Pride of the Laws.
Fowler Hall.
When the power house burned last March the outlook for replacing the building was very gloomy as the board of regents had no funds at their disposal for such a purpose. Through the efforts of Prof. Lucien Blake, Mr. Geo. A. Fowler of Kansas City donated $21,000 for a new building, and the structure will be called Fowler Hall in his honor. The citizens offered a loan of $25,000 to the Univer sity authorities for the purpose of replacing the machinery, which was accepted. The dimensions of Fowler Hall are 224 feet in length by 50 feet in width. It is two stories in height, also a high attic. The material used in the structure is lime stone with Jefferson county red-stone trimmings. It is to be roofed with German tiling.
The building will be occupied at the earliest possible time. Prof. Blake hopes to place the lighting apparatus in position by the middle of October. The machinery and apparatus is arriving but is being stored, owing to the uncompleted condition of Fowler Hall.
The room in the extreme west end of the shops will be used for a boiler room. The foundations for the dynamos and engines have been laid on solid rock. The big engine which was saved from the fire will be moved up and put in position next week.
In one room of the basement the steam coils will be placed, and in another the wreckage from the old shops will be stored.
Men are at work grading around the new building. The walls are neatly finished and work has been begun on the floor.
The outward appearance of the building will be different from that of modern stone buildings, since the cement will not be exposed. The stones will appear to have been piled up giving a rustic appearance. ___

AMUSEMENTS.
At the Bowersock opera house Tuesday, September 27, we are promised something new and original in the minstrelsy, something different from all others which is creating the most intense enthusiasm. This consists of a grand patriotic naval representation on board the Flagship Brooklyn before Sanitation Bay to the sailors and Jackies being personified by Hi. Henry's minstrels. The big turret is there and the frowning guns, search light and the moving prides of the navy the battle scarred ships Oregon, Indiana Texas and others. This is pronounce the most stirring scene ever presented upon the magic stage. Hi. Henry carries two superb cars this season, and one is especially for the scenery and the effects of this great presentation. This attraction has new faces, new ideas, grand choruses, stage realisms and fifty star performers. Among their eight comedians embrace Dan Allman and Billy Clark, and each of these is among the best in his line. Their nine singers are Gates, Michaels, Decker, Melvin, Reeves, De Coverly, Stuart, Elliott and the noted star tenor, Mr. J. H. Davis. Their double list of thirteen specialties embrace the best entertainers in their lines, among whom are the dextrous wonders Morton and Elliot; the great fun makers; Teal and Baker, the wonderful Couture brothers direct from Europe; all these are wonders in their lines. Mr. Hi Henry will appear at each performance supported by his full military band. Hi Henry's grand solo orchestra will for the present season eclipse anything offered, and will compose nineteen skilled soloists, the best that can be procured.

When a play possesses dramatic interest and not only serves to please the eye by means of its attractive dress, but has musical features as well, there can be little question of its popularity. Such a piece is "Lost in London" as it is performed at the Grand opera house. The meidramra is based upon a story which has been utilized time out of mind, but will always enlist the sympathies of and hold the attention of theatre goers. The theme is effectively handled and the elitmaxes are dramatic. In short, from a purely dramatic standpoint, Newton Beers' "Lost in London" can stand upon its merits, but insimuch as the resources of the scenic artist and stage machinist have been drawn upon, and the musical element has been introduced, the production at once becomes especially attractive. Job Armroyd last night became a strong favorite with the patrons of the Grand. The characterization is consistently conceived and well executed throughout, and has received unmistakable evidence that the actor's efforts were appreciated.

Outland Visits Lawrence.
John Outland, the famous halfback of the K. U., football team of '95, was in Lawrence last week on his way from his home in Mitchell county to Pennsylvania where he will attend school this year.
Recognizing the ability of "Johnnie" on the gridiron the University of Pennsylvania has elected him captain of the team for this year.
No visit could have been more welcome among K. U. men interested in the football team of '98, and Outland's presence in Lawrence was not known long until it was announced that he would talk to football enthusiasts at the Eldridge house parlors Thursday evening of that week. The parlorrs were filled to the doors with K. U. men who gave Outland a hearty welcome. Among the many things said by him in the course of his talk, he called the attention of his listeners to the importance of all men physically able, of attending football practice and in that way helping and encouraging the team, and especially of attending practice every evening, not occasionally.
He said that there were many men at Pennsylvania University who have been coming out to football practice regularly during their entire four years' work in school, with not the slightest hope of making a position on the team. Their only object was to make Pennsylvania football win. In his own words: "It should be the highest ambition of every man physically able to make a place on the college team."
also spoke of the great interest
Pennsylvania takes in Kansas. Last fall the Pennsylvania team were at supper when they heard first the report of the overwhelming defeat which Iowa received from Kansas on McCook field, and with one accord they arose and made their dining hall ring with cheers for Kansas.
In reference to a student playing in opposition to his parents' wishes, Outland said: "I do not advise students to play football when their parents object, but I do advise them to set about it at once to win them over to their way of thinking, and to try and make them see the good to be derived by playing football."
Outland's talk was a great treat for football men and at its close three cheers were given for the plucky football captain.
While riding out to the ball game Thursday afternoon Alf Parrott was thrown from his wheel receiving a very painful cut in the palm of his hand.
IN MEMORY.
In the sad death of Albert Hoge we feel impelled to comment upon his life as a student in Kansas University. Many are the laudatory testimonials as to his noble character and generous nature, and his co-workers regret that he was not spared to accomplish his life work.
Those who knew him intimately and in his calm hours of reflection, used to speak of him as a young man of unusual mental strength. Albert possessed a very gentle nature and at the meetings of the Macedonian club of which he was a charter member, as it met at the quiet homes of the boys belonging to the organization, he always brought restfulness. He was companionable and seemed to bring an atmosphere of peace, meeting his friends with some refreshing pleasantry or convincing argument appropriate to the order of the circle. He had the poetic temperment strongly developed and among the friends of his school days are now cherished some rare productions of his poetic mind. His instructors at K. U. reluctantly relinquished him from school, but commercial life attracted him and he gave up his work at the University. He was an energetic worker and a successful business career seemed assured, yet during his long convalescence from fever he often spoke of taking up his University work again
Albert wanted to live, for he had many future plans. But as the fatal malady progressed and recovery seemed impossible, he shrank not, but faced the inevitable with heroic fortitude and patience which characterized his long period of illness. He too early in life took upon himself heavy responsibilities which weakened a constitution with hereditary tendencies and made him an easy victim to the insidious disease to which he finally succumbed.
From infancy Albert Hoge and his sister Myrtle who was a student at the University, and whose sudden death will be remembered by many, lived with his aunt Miss Sue Dolbee who gave him while young the tender care of a mother and to whom he paid the respect of a dutiful and loving son—and for her good counsel and guardianship his career attest. Another aunt and his father have been patient watchers at his side for many months, and very touching was the solicitude he manifested toward the last for his father and aunts, for whom he so much desired to live.

If certain "fixers" are not politically dead since their rotten deal in the class election, they had ought to be. That a class that has spent three years in politics in the University, will bow down to such humiliation as was put on them by one or two members of the class in making an underhanded play, does not indicate a growing spirit of independence in politics. This耽奖 is known not only to the Senior class, but was exposed to everybody on the hill, and if the Seniors want to be known as being independent and progressive, and as still having some dignity, they will suppress those detestable "fixers" while it is not yet too late. The best way to show that they are not under the thumb of anybody is to elect a manager of the Senior Annual, who represents the class and not the "fixers."
