FUEL, JR. Boot and Shoe Maker, First Door West National Bank. Makes a Special Reduction to tuden TODAY THE 'VARISITY AND HAS- KELL BEGIN THE BASS BALL SEASON ON M'COOK FIELD. THE BUSY VARSITY NINE Is Working Hard Now. Haskell Today Ottawa and Baker Monday The first game of base ball of the season is being played on McCook field today between the 'Varsity and Haskell nines. The teams are lined up as follows: 'Varsity; Moore, catcher; Hall, pitcher; Parent, first; House, second; Poorman, short stop; Owens, third; Tucker and Reid, left field; Barnett, center; Malbey, right field. The Indians will line up in the following manner: catcher, Archequette, Felix; pitcher, Augusta, Giuiel; first base, Fallis; second base, Payer; third base, Gravie; shortstop, Palmer; left field, Pageon; center field, Decora; right field, Jackson. The Indians have been working hard the past month and are in good form. They are working harder than usual as they expect to play exhibition games during July and August. The 'Varsity nine is quite busy now. Coach Yost was down twice the past week on Tuesday and on Thursday. He works the boys for three hours per day, and is well pleased with the result. The team promises to be particularly strong in stick work, as this is one of the things that Gear is working on in particular. The in-field will play a stronger game than the '99 team and the outfield will be as good if not bett er. The battery is an improvement over last year, and the nine as a whole will play a faster game than any that the 'varsity has had for several years. The games at Ottawa and Baker will be strong ones, as both teams have strengthened their nines materially since last year. The Otiawne nine will perhaps give the *varsity* a good rub, as the Baptists have been working faithfully, and have some splendid material. Y. W. C. A. NOTES. The Y. W, meeting was held last week on Tuesday evening instead of Wednesday as usual, on account of the dismissal of school on Wednesday, for the vacation. Rev Fenn led the meeting and he talked helfully about "Selfsacrifice." Miss Walton sang a very beautiful solo. Rev. Fenn, formerly of Leavenworth, who was here for several days just before the vacation began, gave the young women of the association some very helpful suggestions. He met several of the committees and talked over with them their work. Next Wednesday's meeting will be held at the usual hour, 5 to 6, in the chapel. Mrs. | Lane, a returned missionary in China, will talk of the mission field there. This week's meeting was led by Perry O. Hansen, the state secretary of the Y. M. C. A. His subject was"Serving God." The-Philanthropic committee met last Wednesday evening at Miss Lower's. They have planned a new line of work which will soon be taken up. This will be the establishment of a class or club among colored girls of the town for the object of self culture. The work of the industrial school is carried on steadily and with success. The girls will have their second annual "Easter Greeting" next Saturday afternoon. It will be given at Prof. Blackmar's for the members of the association and the ladies of the faculty. The Bible classes meet as usual this week, Miss Henderson on Thursday after afternoon in the Woman's League room, and Miss Barth on Sunday afternoon. The contest there was close, but Wagstaff ran remarkably well. He has done well at Coffeyville in his law office practice, and has a host of friends. Wagstaff is a graduate [of the K U Law school and is a leading member of the Sigma Chi fraternity, while in school. K. U. Boy Wins. At the city election at Coffeyville this week, Tom Waffstaff was elected city attorney. ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT NOTES.

Col. Little and all the members of Company H, zoth Kansas, are witnessed in the genuineness of his battle views. The following extract from the Iola Register, Regent Scott's paper, ought to be a sufficient guarantee of the merit of the lecture from an educational standpoint: Iola. Kan. Register, Dec. 2,1899. the Opera house was packed to the doors last night by people who were anxious to follow the pictured career of the Twentieth Kansas through the Manila campaign, and to say that none were disappointed is not stretching the truth a particle. Mr. Rockett was himself on the firing line with the boys having accompanied them from Frisco and he was wounded three times while in pursuit of the pictures which the audience enjoyed last night in peaceful safety. Mr. Rockett explained each picture and his comments were not the least interesting part of the entertainment. As an entertainmenti Mr. Rockett's pictured story of the Philippines is worth many times the price of admission, and the Register urges all who were unable to be present last night to attend tonight. The pictures are perfect, the instrument which projects them on the screen is the best made, and the insight which the talk and the pictures give one of our new possessions in the far east is esteemed an educational treat. Mr. Rockett deserves in every way the patronage of the public, and Iola considers herself exceedingly fortunate indeed to have had the privilege of hearing his talk. The purpose for which this lecture is given is to start a fund to erect a monument to the memory of the boys of Co. H., who did not return. As the University's loss was heavy, so let its appreciation of the service rendered be great.-Adna G. Clarke. Don Silvers, as he is popularly known, has been seriously ill at the Beta house since Saturday. Dr W M McClintock was called from Topeka Sunday to perform an operation for appendicitis. Lon has been getting along as well as could be expected. His parents have come from Miltonvale to be in attendance. Prof, F. O. Marvin was elected councilman from the 2nd ward in Tuesday's election. Wilder Metcalf and Prof. W. H-Carruth were elected members of the board of education. Maurice Clippinger went to Centralia. COMING EVENTS. April 7 K U-Haskell, McCook.

A write up of our association house will appear in the May number of the Inster Collegian. Next Sunday the life work series will be continued by the presentation of "Than Christian Man in Business," by Mr William K Folks and Mr A Skieninger of Ottawa. Prof. Olin has made a tour of the state visiting the high schools to investigate the work being done in preparing students for the University. He reported to the chancellor that the high schools almost without exception do not teach English proper even though they are on the list of accredited high schools. Many teach English Literature, History of English Literature, Grammar, Classics, or something suggestive of English, but very few have a course in genuine English. As a result of the report a statement has been sent out from the Chancellor's office to the superintendents of the high schools telling them to improve their course in English or they will be dropped from the accredited list.

Entered again the Lawrence Postoffice as second class mail matter. College spirit is conspicuous at Kansas University on account of its absence. There was a time perhaps in the forgotten past, when college spirit flourished at K. U., but today it is crowded aside by more "important affairs" and is almost entirely forgotten. The student of today is either a bookworm or a society man and either of these extremes does not promote college spirit. We imagined once we could install into these students of K. U., a slight tinge of patrolism through the columns of the WEEKLY but if any of them should so far forget themselves as to read these few remarks we humbly beg their paradox for ever entertaining such hopes. It is needless to remark that we changed our mind some time ago. There are of course, exceptions to the general rule and occasionally some spark of college pride is kindled in the hearts of some of the students. Some have gone so far as to support their college paper but very few have contributed any articles for publication. Of course the editors are always glad to work day in and day out to get out the paper and then get a flunk or two as a reward so don't ever take a few minutes of your valuable time kind reader to write something that would be interesting to the readers of the WEEKLY. In athletics K.U. excels other schools of this part of the country but the foot ball games last year were not as well attended as they should have been. Unusual interest has been shown in base ball this year, and many have been 'ooolish enough to purchase season tickets. Don't get excited gentle reader, there was a man died once from over excitement and don't you really think it would be better to spend your money some other way; spend it on ice cream sodas; buy your girl flowers, or yourself something you never can use, rather than help the base ball boys along this year. K.U. has a strong team this season and the extensive trip the team will take means a great deal expense but you don't care, do you? A good base ball team or a strong team of any kind is the best advertisement an institution can have, but don't so far forget yourself as to turn out to a few of the base ball games this year; you may regret your rash act. The Missouri-Kansas debate which comes off next Friday is another thing that K. U. students should be warned against. It promises to be the best contest ever held between the rival schools but don't attend; keep your old two-bits and buy candy or cigarettes. People would think you were patriotic if you should attend these contests and you certainly don't want anyone to think you take any interest in the K. U. The Tiger published by Colorado College at Colorado Springs announces that hereafter it will be published semi-monthly instead of weekly as heretofore. The Tiger is one of the neatest and newest college papers that comes to our exchange table and that the students of that institution do not support it as they should be certainly to be regretted.Such however is the story in brief of all college papers. There are very few students who can not afford to contribute a small sum toward giving their school a good representative paper. However many students who have plenty of money, spend it in any way rather than to keep their college paper. However, they generally borrow their neighbors' paper to read the news, and are continually finding fault with the way the paper is run. Never before in the history of Kansas University has enthusiasm run so high in debating circles as it has this year. The three teams chosen to represent Kansas in the interstate debates are the best that Kansas University can produce. The management is endeavoring to keep up with the procession, and has hired the Opera House for the Missouri contest, the only one to be held here. The three Kansas University representatives Botts, Tolan and Rice, are popular men, and now they are the climb up Mt. Oread has been dispensed with, a large audience is expected. It is Missouri's turn to win, but she misses her turn so often that she will have to show us before we will believe she can do it. Everyone should wear colors and let the Missourians hear the old familiar "Rock! Chalk!" for perhaps they have forgotten how our yell goes since they heard it last Thanksgiving day at the Missouri-Kansas football game. --approaches our line in point of variety. Miss Georgia Brown is directing the rehearsals of "Puddin' Head Wilson" which the Dramatic club will pat on in the Opera House on the 19th. This is the play which the late Edwin Mayo made famous. The original book by Mark Twain has been read by a good many Lawrence people, but its dramatization has never been seen here. Twenty University students will start for the Paris exposition with only 'enough money to pay their way over, and the walking is very bad from Liverpool to New York. - Hutchinson News.

ARNOLD, The sprize vacation was ushered in by the most delightful weather, and those who remained in town enjoyed the time fully notwithstanding the dullness of social life. For Lawrence could not fail to afford an enjoyable week to those who love to be out of doors, engaged in any of the afore mentioned occupations. Though we saw a few faithful students daily at the library, they were plainly in the minority. SOCIETY. The steady endeavor of real and earnest student life has dropped its quiet mantle over the University. After the rush of a gay season this fall in the social activities has come peacefully, and nothing is heard save the creeking of the school machinery as the wheels are going round. These are the days when we hear remarks of base ball, and the boys pass the long warm afternoons training in the field. These sundays are so inviting, that walking, riding, driving and boating are delightful now. Many spend their time on the golf links, too, and tennis has its share of attention as well. The kodak fiend is rampant now. Then we here of the heroic efforts of the dramatic club in their preparation of "Pudd'nhead Wilson" which will be given on the 20th. The juciors, too, are preparing a farce and we occasionally catch the words "Junior Prom" "Senior Play" "Senior Annual." The sociology classes talk of visits to the penitentiary, insane asylum, etc., etc., while everybody speaks of quizzes, themes and forensics. WILL SPALDING.

A young American, Guy H Scull, is winning fame for himself as a war correspondent in south Africa. The following sketch from the Bookman for Morch has in it a deep lesson for all searchers after literary style. The boating season is now on. The Kaw is as smooth as a lake and many students are taking advantage,'of the fine moonlight nights for enjoyment·on the river. Club steward should get our prices, Prompt deliveries, Telephone I. "Guy H Scull is the son of a rich man the late Gideon Scol of Boston, with a taste for hard work and a fine preference for the rough side of life. Mr. Scull had done practically nothing till his war letters in a New York evening paper proved him to be a man with eyes, head and heart and a pen to say so. Before he was graduated from Harvard two and three years ago, he reported for a Boston paper "covering" wakes, inquests, band concerts and police incidents, and he gave the editor no end of pain by writing of those things simply, directly and vividly, but without excitement. He drew them in color, and that color was not yellow, and he put feeling into them, but the effect was mood, not sensation. Some were used, most of his little essays were killed. The Atlantic Monthly printed two of his stories. Hit or miss, however, Mr. Scull wrote as he liked to write; he despaired, but he did not change. He could not. When he came to New York to report, he showed plainly that there was the stuff in him that makes a writer, but he seemed to lack the ability to "get there." Once when he was assigned to report the work doing on the yacht Columbia, he was found writing verses behind a pile of lumber. To a remonstrance he replied that he wanted to go to the Philippines. He had been a Rough Rider, but, having been left behind at Tampa, he felt the need of getting under fire and seeing men when they were fighting. The war in South Africa determined him. He had to go. He preferred to be sent, but he was going, anyhow. He was sent, and his first triumph was in reaching the front, where so many old newspapers men, backed by old newspapers and all their influence failed. All this Mr Scull, the inadequate reporter of city trivialities, the man who couldn't "get there," arranged for himself. Once there, he turned in copy which had the distinguished merit of putting the war on the ground, in air you can breathe and smell and under circumstances which you can see and feel. And this he did by sticking to his own literary way of laying bare his senses, taking on an impression and reproducing it exactly—fact, tone, color and spirit—just as he received it, with great love for the word, phrase, sentence, and each article as a whole; as things akin to art. It is such men that force literature upon the newspapers and very often make them finer in parts than the magazines can afford to be on the whole." SNAP SHOTS. Father—That man should be an example to you, my son. He entered a store as office boy and worked himself up until in a few years he owned the business. Son—He could never do that in these days, pa, when they have cash registers. —Ex. The kissing bug upon a leaf Secure and snug sang for its grief. "The I canI kiss, how much a bug 'Of life must miss who cannot hug!" A shaggy bear sat by a tree: "What weight of care is mine," quoth he. "At hugging I am truly great, But vainly try to esculate." And so, all through this world we see Displayed anew Fate's irony. Just short of bliss they strive and tug With hugless kiss and kissless hug.

Persistent effort is bound to win, and while we deeply regret that he did not win first place, there is some comfort in the fact that his failure offers us an opportunity to render a service. Mr. Meyer, as will be remembered, represented Winfield in the state contest here last year, and failing to win out, refused his degree at that institution in order that he might go to K. U. and enter the lists from there. Now, we would suggest that Mr. Meyer refuse his degree at K. U. this spring, come to Ottawa next September and complete his education here. By hard work, he might win out in the local contest, and could then fight his third battle on home ground. Our suggestion is prompted by a desire to see perseverance and laudable ambition obtain its goal.—Ottawa Campus- The following is the list of events for the indoor meet which will be held on April 21 in the Y.

Fortunate are we, indeed, in having this delightful bit of merriment to while away an evening's length. The play is clean and rolling from beginning to end, one absurd situation leads to another from act to act till the climax of absurdity is reached, and the curtain falls on one of the cleverest comedies of the century. The play will be efficiently cast. Some of the people have been seen here before, notably Mr. Walter Walker and Miss Mildred St. Pierre, who added so much last season to the mirth of "A Bachelor's Honeymoon," and earlier in the present season delighted us with a first visit of "The Nominee." This lady and gentleman play the leading roles and play them well. The burden of the story devolves on them to tell and they are amply equal to the duty. The support is made up of an unusually capable company of associates. Mr. Walter Walker's rendition of Jack Medford in "The Nominee," in the play of that name, is of a high standard. His well trained stage appearance and wonderful facial expressions can scarcely be discounted by Mr. Goodwin, who a few seasons ago showed us the bright and witty book. The entire company supporting Mr. Walker is very strong. Miss Mildred St. Pierre, the loving wife of the "Nominee," is forcible in acting her part so perfectly natural and free of stage affectation. His mother-in-law, impersonated by Mrs. Anne Mortimer, cannot be improved upon. The other members of the company are well up and clever. When that clever author, Henry Guy Carleton, penned this bright play, he built a monument to mirth which has amused at least two continents. England's peerless comedian, Charles Wyndlands kept the British laughing at its fetching absurdities, for ever so long. He also gave Americans a hint of his great art in the comedy when he was last on this side some ten years ago. As herein before mentioned, our own Nat Goodwin charmed us in his own genteel way not long ago. The play is still in most worthy keeping It will never suffer in its present company At the meeting of the Kansas City Bank association tonight, Justine Bowersock, A B. '61, will read a paper on "The Lawyer in the University." Read Mark Twain's "Pudd'n Head Wilson" before April 19. At the meeting of the Kansas State Dental association, to be held in Topeka, May 3.

Lincoln's moral nature will be misunderstood and wrongly valued by all who are hypnotized by the letter and forget the spirit, strain at gnats and swallow camels, and are habitually busy with the beams in their neighbor's eyes. The typical Pharisee, unable to praise the real Lincoln, has treated him after the manner of a funeral eulogy. The true Lincoln was not a prophet crying in the wilderness of which he had no doubt and which he alone had heard. He was a pilgrim whose progress to glory was marked by every vicissitude. Much of life he stood and waited for light, doing in the meantime only the little things which his hand found to do. Even when he was chosen pilot, he did not pretend to know all the currents and rocks, or to foresee all the eddies of the storm. He waited for his inspiration from day to day, and believed that if he acted justly today tomorrow could be trusted to move toward righteousness. How bitterly he longed for light, how he even wept for it, when so many about him thought the great questions of right and wrong were easy! Political problems could not to his mind take the neat simplicity with which they were seen, for instance, from various points of view, by Wendell Phillips, by Stanton, by Cameron, by McChellan. His was the task of remembering that there was truth in every position, value in every method, even Cameron's, and of doing justice, as far as the ability was his, to all alike. In its best sense he constantly applied the rule, judge not. He was forced to give decisions, but he never did until they were inevitable, and he never judged in the sense of loftily passing moral sentences on people whose beliefs seemed to him mistaken. One of his dominating and shining qualities was the greatest of the virtues' Charity in every one of its beautiful meetings, pervaded him; not only in the moral sense of all-embracing love but the intellectual sense of comprehending sympathy was charity his guidin' light. The inner life of a man like this must grow. It is a mistake to think Lincoln was one man on the prairie and another in the White House, or that he became deeply good and serious at any one period; but the moral element in him did put forth new strength constantly and hold a more majestic place in his total character at sixty than it did at thirty. His development was natural and regular, and the last of life was the best because his nature was so truly sound. — The Chautauquan. THE STORY OF A PHI DELT PIN The following story comes from Washington, D. C.; When General Frederick Funston, of Kansas, now commanding a brigade in the Philippines, was in Kansas University he belonged to the Greek letter fraternity known as Phi Delta Theta, and always worse the badge upon his waistcoat until he lost it in Alaska four years ago. Early this winter, when workmen were engaged in tearing up the floor of an old skating rink in this city, now known as Convention hall, they found a badge of curious design among the dust on the ground under the cracks between the boards, and upon it was engraved the name of Fred Funston. Capt. Filer, a clerk in the pension office, a friend of Funston's, having learned of the discovery redeemed the badge from a bartender to whom the finder had traded it for drinks, and sent it to the Philippines to General Funston, who has acknowledged it with many thanks. Now the mystery is how did that badge find its way from Alaska to Washington and through the cracks of the floor of Convention Hall. Fred Funston's Pin That He Lost in Ala- ka?found in Washington.

Come and wear your colors. Kansas-Missouri Debate. The good book tells us that man was made first and woman after him. Today she is still after him. Think twice before you tell a girl you love her and then don't tell her. Nine times out of ten you don't love her. Love matters are said to be made it heaven, but a good many end in the other place. REVERIES OF A BACHELOR. Broken hearts are generally mended so that they last a long time. It is foolish to say that any girl's heart is yours alone. A girl's heart is generally controlled by a syndicate. We notice that the girls in the fashion plates are always tall and slender. What does the short fat girl do for fashions? The more we know of girls the more we are convinced that all they do besides sleeping and reading novels is to read novels and sleep. The amount of money a boy has to spend nowadays to get a girl, will buy a good farm, and even then he often don't get her. Why is it that the meaner and more worthless a boy is, the more popular he is with the girls. A merchant will often trust his daughter with a young man that he wouldn't trust for 25 cents in merchandise Walter and Elmer Kelley and Clark Swayee, who "worked" Portland together last summer, will work one of the New England towns next summer with stereoscopic views.

The past year having been the most most successful in the history of the University Y. M. C, A the officers of the Association decided that there could be no better way to celebrate that success than to give a banquet. This banquet, which was far more successful than had been anticipated, was bed last Saturday evening at the new Eldridge Hotel. As the expenses of the Association are met by subscriptions from the students and the professors of the University it was thought best that the expenses should be paid by those who should attend. A few minutes after 8 o'clock the members of the association began to assemble in the parlor of the hotel in order to spend a social hour with each other and to meet the speakers from out of town. The idea of an annual Y. M. C. A, barquet had met with such heavy approval on the part of its members that at 9 o'clock, the time for the barquet, it was with difficulty that one could make his way through the parlor. At 9:15 o'clock 130 professors, guests and members of the Associations took their places around four long tables arranged in the dining room. After the asking of grace by Dr Bains-Griffith of Kansas City, Kan. a five course dinner was served. After the last course had been served, Gov. Stanley to taastmaster of the occasion, with a few appropriate remarks, read several letters of regret from former Presidents of the Association and others who had been invited to attend. Following the reading of the letters Hon. E L. Ackley of Concordia, LL.B.'go, was introduced and spoke upon the subject, "College Memories." In a very interesting as well as entertaining manner Mr. Ackley told of some of his "College Memories" which had helped to make his college life so dear to him. In a few well chosen words which reflected credit on the members of the T wentieth Kansas Volunteers as well as on the University, Governor Stanley introduced Lieut. Guy Simpson who spoke concerning "Our Army Brothers." In a short well worded talk Mr. Simpson told concerning a a few of the temptations which surround the lives of our soldiers in the P. I. and what the Y M C A is doing to relieve them from these temptations. Just after Mr. Simpson's speech the quartet composed of Messrs Burress, Sams, Copley and McKenzie rendered a selection which added much to the evening's entertainment. The next speaker, Dr. Williston of the faculty, spoke upon the "Survival of the Fittest." In his speech he spoke very highly of the work and the influence of the Y. M. C. A. The next toast was what Governor Stanley called his part of the program. In the absence of Hon. Thomas M. Potter of Peabody, Governor Stanley called upon Prof. Sayre to speak upon the subject assigned Mr. Potter, "Balanced Rations." The speech which met with the greatest applause of the evening was the toast "Our Sisters," by the General Secretary, Perry O. Hanson. The one thing which was to be regretted was the absence of the President, H. H. Tangman; but in his absence W. Withington, the first vice-president, set forth the prospects for the coming year. A person listening to the prospects for the coming year could not help feel that great things were in store for the Association. Among the guests at the banquet were Gov. Stanley, Gen. Metcalf, State Secy. Baird, Dr.D. Baines-Griffith of Kansas City; E.L.Ackley, of Concordia, and several members of the faculty. Unfortunately Rev. Banker had to leave before the toasts were over, and could not respond to "Our Greatest Need." After singing "Bless be the Tie That Binds" each person present felt that the annual banquet of the K U Y M C A had been a success indeed and wished that it might be made a permanent event in future years. Regent Sams of Seneca, Kansas, attended the Y. M. C. A. banquet, and has spent the week on the hill. India's Need. The distressing reports which reach us from india have met a response in generous Kansas. Everyone is asked to make some contribution; the appeal will come definitely to each school in the state. Let us be sure that Kansas University will head the list both in promptness and generosity in a manner that shall show that we are not too pagan to be touched by such a need. A small amount from each student will in the aggregate be of great assistance in that land. OUR FORMER PRESIDENTS, Present Positions of a Few Typical Y. M. C. A. Alumni. They were all popular men, active in University life, athletic and literary as well as religious The Association was organized in 1883, so that all its alumni are young men, the oldest of whom are only fairly started in their life works. J. F. Tucker, $^{83}$ first president of the Association, is now pastor of a Congregationalist church in New London, Connecticut. He is a member of the Beta fraternity, and is remembered as a bright and winsome young man, active in all University lifer L. T. Smith is a successful physician in Newton, Kansas. During his presidency, the Association made notable progress. Dwight L. Potter is pastor of a large Presbyterian church in Oakland, California. Samuel J. Hunter, '93, is Associate Professor of Pintomology in Kansas University Arnold E. Moody, 94, is general secretary of the army Y. M. C, A. in Cuba. Rudolph Caughey graduates from Princeton Theological Seminary this spring. Wilmouth and Ackley are members of a prominent law firm in Concordia. W. E. Higgins, '94, assistant Professor of law in K. U. F. H. Olney, '91, superintendent of the Lawrence High School. W W. Douglas, '98, Professor of English in the Kansas City High School. Wilkie Clock, '98, Frank Jewett, '99, J. G. Hall, '95, are in Harvard. Indocr Meet. The indoor meet promises to be a good one this year. It will be held in the Y.M.C. A. gunnasium on April 21. A number of wrestlers as well as contestants for the other events are practicing nearly every evening under the supervision of Dr. Naismith. Guy Simpson and Wade Moore will probably enter the heavy weight wrestling which event was left vacant last year for lack of a heavy man. Every student should come out and encourage college athletics and college spirit in this University. The Sophomore base ball team played their first game on McCook field last Saturday forenoon. The score was 9 to 7 in favor of the High School. There is a movement on hand to organize a boxing club in the near future. Boxing not only trains the eye and body to move quickly but when properly conducted is a good clean sport and one which should receive its proper place among the athletic events of this university. The Kansas-Nebraska foot ball game for next season has been set for November 15. Kansas had a winning team last year and will be able to hold her own on November 15. A series of four evangelical meetin s, unique in the history of the University of California closed in March. These meetings, held in connection with the Y. M. C. A., have marked the beginning of the greatest spiritual awakening ever experienced by the Association. International Secretary C. C. Michener to California from Chicago for the sole purpose of conducting these meetings and his visit has not been in vain.—Intercollegian. The cold weather this week has prevented the track team from doing much work. In connection with the Bicentennial of Yale a memorial volume is to be issued by the Yale Association, tracing the history of student religious effort at Yale from the founding of the college to the present day. —Intercollegian, OF THE BASE BALL SEASON IS THE KANSAS-MISSUURI GAME ON SATURDAY, APRIL 21. ON MCOCK FIELD. THE VICTORIES NO FAR ARE Indians, Saturday, K. U., 9, Haskell 73 Baker and Ottawa, Monday, Baker 6, K. U. 14: Ottawa 8, K. U. 14. A Glorious Beginning! This is a great base ball year with the Varsity. Already the famous nine has brought home three palms. Its fame is extending. The Indians know of its strength, the Bakers have heard of it and the Ottawas have suffered defeat at its hands. Everybody is happy at these victories and proud of the success of the team. The games so far have been easy but on April 24 th 'Varsity nine goes against the famous Missouri nine. There's a good deal of friendly rivalry in the Kansas-Missouri ball games. Kansas always walks over the Tigers in football, and the Tigers always try to walk over the 'Varsity in base ball. They succeed some times. Last year there was much rejoicing in the 'Tiger den when the 'Varsity met defeat, but this year the 'Varsity will retrieve that defeat. Saturday last the 'Varsity began its victorious season. At 2:30 the first game of the season began between the 'Vasity and the Indians. The Indians played a mighty fast game. Augusta was in the box and his twirling was up to its usual standing, but the Varsity landed eight, clean, hits during the game. Captain Parent proved himself worthy of the name by clever work at first, and by bumping out a two and a three bagger or critical periods of the game. The Indians were very much afraid of Catcher Moore's strong right and always hugged their bases closely. Hall was in good form, and threw a good steady game. Owens showed up well at third and did good stick work. Housh was a favorite at second and made two of the hits of the game. Tucker, Barnett and Malibuy took good care of the ties and things in the outer garden and short stop Poorman was at home in the inner field. The game was characterized by six retirements in the one, two, three order; three by the Indians and three by the 'Varsity. The following concerning the Baker and the Ottawa games is clipped from the Star: "The base ball game at Baldwin, Kas., yesterday morning between the Kansas and Baker University teams was won by the Jayhawkers by a score of 14 to 6. The game was called at the end of the first half of the sixth inning to enable the Kansans to catch a train for Ottawa, where they played in the afternoon. For the Indians Augusta a pitching was perhaps the feature of the game, Archequettes work was good and he twice succeeded in making the circuit of the diamond. The whole team jumped into the game with energy and crossed the home plate four times in the first inning but took a little tumble in the second and played a steady game during the next seven innings. Kansas ... 0 4 1 6 1 3-12 12 Baker. ... 1 4 0 4 0 6 7 Ottawa's first ball'game of the season was played at Forest Park yesterday before a large crowd, the opposing teams being from Kansas and Ottawa Universities. The final score was t14 to 8 in favor of the state University team. The score by innings was as follows: Ottawa ... 0 0 0 1 1 2 3 1 ... 6 9 12 Kansas ... 1 0 6 0 0 4 3 1 -14 10 Go to Smith's News Depot for baseball goods.

Before the event last night the two Universities had each won one of these events, our victory being last year. Last Night at Bowercress's Opera House the third annual contest in debating between Kansas and Missouri occurred in the opera house Friday evening. Mercer Arnold, H S Conrad and C Williams of Missouri took the affirmative and J T Botts, H Tolaan and L F Rice the negative of the question, "Resolved: That the Philippine Islands should be retained as a permanent possession by the United States." J. W. Gleesd of Topeka, J S Greenwood and R S Yeager of Kansas City were the judges. Chancellor Snow presided at the debate. Excellent music was furnished by members of the Glee Club, and Mr McKenzie SNOW LITERARY SOCIETY. Our team last night had worked faithfully for the debate and had received valuable assistance from members of the faculty. The attendance promise 1 to be very large after the mass meeting Friday noon. As we go to press the decision is not known. At the last meeting of the society Miss Goss gave a criticism of Braun's Iconoclast which was quite interesting. She said that Braun was not, as many suppose, an atheist but was desirous of abolishing a all traces of idols and superstition. Her criticism showed much reading and study on the subject. M J Gernon reviewed a story in one of the recent magazines. Mr Gernon has an easy delivery. Miss Davis gave an account of current events mentioning the more important happenings of the week. Prof. Jones was present and gave one of his pleasant talks He is very much interested in good literature at Kansas University and contemplates giving a prize next year for the best original poem. The question for debate was: Resolved? That the United States should control the Nicaragua canal. Aff Cross and McMath. Neg. Lemon and Kennedy. The affirmative won. In two or three weeks Professor Jones will deliver a talk entitled "Two Thousand Five Hundred Miles on the Pacific." This will be delivered before Snow Society and will be one of the interesting features of the year, Watch for it. Two members of Snow Society have productions in the current Oread; Miss Lyos, an interesting little story entitled "Tomorrow," and Miss Goss, a poem entitled "Two Points of View." THE BURKE.

We have accepted the kind offer of the WEEKLY Board, and take charge of this issue of the paper, in order that its many readers may gain a true idea of the status of Christian work in the institution. There is a lamentatable ignorance of these matters over the state which is proving detrimental to the best interests of our University. We hope that our Kansas friends in other places will sometime cease to judge us until they understand the actual conditions. A thorough perusal of our columns may suggest that some good exists even at the State University. There have been two new features in this year's Y. M. C. A. work, without which its unprecedented success would have been impossible. The first of these is the Association House, which, while all too small to meet all Jemands, has been indispensable. The second, the General Secretary, who enabled the Association to more completely carry out old lines of work and to accomplish things which it has hitherto been impracticable to attempt. It will be impossible for the Association to realize the widest influence and wonderful possibilities which the field affords without a well equipped building and a well paid secretary who can devote his whole time to the work. This means more money, but the Association believes its friends are too true to let this be a long standing need. This is not a "Sheldon Edition;" we are not dabbling in journalism for the purpose of reforming the WEEKLY. In a few things we have departed from the usual plan of the regular Board, but the need of this is evident in consideration of the special material we publish. As an Association we stand for three fold development and in this paper we have devoted proportionate space to the physical, the mental and the spiritual interests of the students. In view of the large constituency of the distinctively Christian organizations, and in view of the importance of the spiritual part of every student's nature, we have added to the regular board a religious editor. This might well be made a permanent department of the WEEKLY and this editor a regular member of the staff. In his column would appear notes of the local Christian work and religious items of more general interest. Espesial attention is called to the reference in the reports of the two Associa tions as to the interest in Bible study. In many Associations similar results have been attained this year, and the whole revival of interest in the Bible is most gratifying' A student is not considered to have completed his education unless he is proficient in Bible study. The courses of study offered by the Association are most admirable, and thoroughly adapted to the needs of college students. Every man and woman, boy and girl on the hill should go to the ball game April 21, and cheer the 'Varsity nine. This date is the event of the Kansas-Missouri ball game. Last year the Tigers won two games, this year Kansas must win two games. The game costs $118, the most of any game of the season. It must be supported by every student if it pays out. There are far too many criticisms expressed in regard to the Weekly. The one practical method to follow when dissatisfied is to get on the inside and begin there any needed reform. When less than one third of our students value the paper and what it represents sufficiently to cause them to become subscribers, the management is not receiving due encouragement, and criticism is uncharitable. We urge especially that the members of our Association should show their gratitude to the Board for their generosity, both in regard to this edition and the ordinary large amount of space given to our work, by becoming subscribers and stockholders. A special canvass will be made during the following week and many new names should be secured. CLASS LIFE. The committee on Class Day of the Senior class met on Monday evening, and outlined the closing class-exercises. The aim of the committee is to make all the exercises distinctly class functions, and to make the closing days the most pleasant of their University career. The outline comprises a class picnic, a can and gown party and class day, proper. cap and gown party and class day, prop. The picnic will be at Lake View on Friday, May 11th. Class picnics have gone out of style in K U circles with the last five years, and the Seniors hope to reinstate a "good thing." The cap and gown party will be on the 18th and this will be followed by a midnight seance on the Hill. The regular Class Day exercises will be on Tuesday of Commencement week. The Senior class commenced rehearsals of their play on Monday night at North College. The play promises to be one of the best in the class history. The exact character of the play is not known but they promise a number of new "features." The inter-class base ball season will open on the 1st with a game between the Junior and Senior Arts. Both teams have been practicing on McCook field the past week, and a strong team will represent each class. Professors Hunter, Canfield end Lincoln have been discovered playing "one old-cat" by the light of the moon, preparatory to the Senior-Faculty game.

A GREAT MOVEMENT. ASSOCIATION SOME Don't Forget the Date "The religious movement of the nineteenth century," as the Young Mens Christian Association has been characterized, originated in a prayer meeting led by Mr. George Williams in his own room in London, England. LEADERS The movement became organized definitely June 6, 1844, and has advanced steadily every year since that time. It was in December 1851, when an association was organized in Boston as the first upon this continent. The abnormally large proportion of young men in cities, the fact that they are largely homeless and outside of the church, these conditions furnish the field for such an association to exist to protect young men from the powers of evil which especially assail them. At the present time more than seven hundred of our cities support prosperous Associations, while the work has also extended to railroad points, among the colored men, and even forty organizations among the Indians. This movement demands careful supervision, and this purpose is accomplished through the agency of the International Committee, which is located in New York City; forty-two representative men from various sections of the country are the members of the committee. A corps of twenty-five secretaries, who are trained specialists in the work, is employed to direct and generally assist the many Associations. In Kahsa as in the other states the organization and supervision is similar to the national work. Our state committee is composed of seventeen of the most prominent men in the state including the Governor add Supt Frank Nelson. A state Secretary and an office secretary are employed for their whole time while an assis ant gives one half of his time. These men are engaged in directing the work in three railroad, ten city, and twenty-four college associations while a constant effort is made to extend the work into new fields Men are being trained to do definite Christian work while many more are being led into the Christian life. The first college association was organized in 1858 at the University of Michigan and since that time the growth in this department has been most phenomenal. Wonderful achievements, have been wrought and successful associations are now wielding a great influence among college men in almost every institution in our county. Association Leaders H. W. Rose is well known by many of our students. His extended visit among us a year ago gave a great impetus to our Association and we owe him much of the prestige which we now enjoy. He is one of the International secretaries, having served one year as general secretary at Iowa State "U" and three years in the same capacity at Michigan after graduation at Beloit college. He was a member of Beta Theta Pi, was catcher in the regu lar nine and played half back on the eleven. He has had extraordinary success in the work as General Secretary. His field at present comprises all college associations from Chicago to California and he has charge of the summer Conferences at Lake Geneva and Pacific Grove, California C. C. Michener another of the International secretaries well known at K. U. occupied the present-position of Mr Rose for several years, and now has oversight of the city and railroad work west of Chicago He is a graduate of Penn College, Oakalao, Iowa and after two years as assistant State Secretary of Iowa he was called to a position as International Secretary which he has most creditably filled for ten years. He is a man of unusual ability on the platform and is thoroughly competent to advise in all matters pertaining to A.siaa in work THE REVENUE JOHN K. MOTT, M. A. JOHN R. MOTT, M. A. The name of John R. Mott is revered by Association men of many countries. In 1894 he made his famous trip around the world which resulted in a union of the Christian work for students in sixteen "Economy Is of itself A Great Revenue" Aside of selling the very best and most fashionable clothing, hats and furnishing goods at lowest prices.— University students who wish to economize when purchasing their wearing apparel will be given a chance at Browning, King & Co.

In recognition of his able achievements Yale University recently conferred upon him the Master's degree. Some of the very best collegiate chairs in the country have been offered him, but he has chosen to devote his energies to the work of the Y. M. C. A. He has been one of the International Secretaries since 1888, and has perhaps exerted a greater influence over college students than any other man in the work.

Prof. Higgins presided and read a number of letters from prominent men who were formerly active members of the association here. Prof. Hunter and Rev. H Jay Witthington each spoke of the value they had gained from their work in the Y M C A during their college courses. Rev. D. Baines-Griffith was also present and added to the service by a strong talk on the value of "Incalculable men." State Secretary Baird was at the service so altogether it was an especially important meeting. The attendance was not up to the usual standard but each one who took part added an inspiration to the service. The employment bureau has been used during the week. If anyone has work to be done it should be reported to the General Secretary and a worthy student will be secured to do the service. Work will soon commence on the new Hand-book. It is expected that a much more valuable volume will be published this year than we have had before. The banquet was a thorough success and well repaid the committee for all the labor it incurred. All efforts are now to be directed toward securing a large delegation for the summer conference at Lake Geneva. The service tomorrow at 2:30. North College, will be the fourth number in the life-work series. J. M. Hanson, secretary of the Associated Charities of Kansas City, Mo., will speak on "The Call from the Slums." Mr. Hanson has had wide experience along the line of charity work, having founded and conducted the "St Paul Commons," St. Paul, Minn., a settlement house similar to Hull House and Chicago Commons. This is a fascinating subject, and one of great importance at the present time. Among the letters received by the officers of the Association during the week were those from Prof. James H Canfield of Columbia, and Congressman Bowersock The Association has never made a more successful record than it has the past year. It has increased its members, it has extended its influence and broadened its field. In order that this growth may continue and that the Association may be a power in the University, a general secretary must be secured—a young woman who is acquainted with University life and knows the Association work and can devote her time and thought to it. The young women of the University cannot take the time from their studies to carry on the work of so large an organization, but they need the training and the benefits to be derived from it. The Young Women's Christian Association does not own a room, nor has it the use of one which it can claim for its own and fit up for the young women. Consequently it has no place to hold its regular devotional meetings, nor has it parlers for its socials. A general secretary would have no headquarters. A home where there will be parlers, an assembly room for the large meetings, offices, and rest rooms, possibly with a dormitory attached, is much needed here.

The branch association at the Indian school was formed three years ago at the suggestion of Miss Laura Radford, then State Secretary. During that year and the next the University girls walked out each week to keep the Association alive. Last year things moved more smoothly. Besides the regular association meetings ten Bible classes were organized and carried on through the year, taught by University girls. This year the association has about eighty members divided into two classes, junior and senior, and has shown itself capable of taking care of itself with but little help from the University girls. ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT NOTES The engine which has been doing all of the work since the fire has been over-loaded. It has been shut down for repairs and will probably be used through the summer, Seniors Dewey, Priestley and Reece are taking an efficiency test of the power plant of the Fowler shops. A very nice new clock has been put in the machine shops and another will soon be put in the engine room. The curfew and seven o'clock whistle will then always blow promptly on time. The new motor which is to run the ventilator in the new chemistry building is set up and runs very smoothly and nicely. At present it is being used to run a sand paper machine. This sand paper machine was made in Fowler shops. It not only is a great saving to the contractor, but gives the wood work a much nicer finish than could be done by hand.

Last Saturday evening Miss Grace Poft entertained the Thetas. This was the time for the regular Katsup and this evening it took the form of a whist party It was certainly a very lovely one. The colors of the fraternity were represented in the yellow score cards which bore the record of the hands won, recorded with tiny kite-shaped black stickers Ices and cake were served. Miss Inez Cross carried off the honor prize, a silver hat pin. Mrs Adams entertained a number of her friends, ladies of the faculty and others, Monday aftercon at a thimble party. Last evening another of the pleasant dances of the Eldridge House series was added to the number that were given earlier in the winter. This was the "spring party" and was one of the nicest they have given. Since the fraternity spring parties began, those dances have been discontinued, but with the coming of the Lenten season most of the other dances ceased, so that this was a delightful post script to their others. Zuyler's orchestra was as fine as ever, and the colored lights strung about the hall gave it a very fesitive appearance. Refreshments were served in the balcony.

WAS A GOOD CONTEST The Speakers Were Enthusiastic, the Audence Was Awake and the Debate Was the Best the 'Varity Ever Had. Friday evening at the opera house, Kansas won the third annual debate with Missouri. Kansas now has two victories out of three contests with the Missouri University. The debate was a good one. It is perhaps the first time in the history of University debates, that a collection was not necessary to defray a good sized deficiency. But this year the debate committee has paid all expenses and now has money to burn. The contest was not only a good one in a financial way but it was a gr and victory for both teams in an intellectual way. The question that the contending trio tore into small shreds was: Resolved, that the Philippine Islands should be retained as a permanent colonial possession by the United States. It is a good question and was ably handled by both teams. Of course Kansas showed the other three that the United States does not want the Philippines as a permanent colonial possession. Of course there were solos and things as usual, but people went to the show to hear debate, nor were they satisfied until Mr Mercer Arnold of the Tiger trio was introduced to Chancellor Snow, and presented the opening speech for the affirmative. Mr. Arnold said that he and his colleagues would show that the United States should hold the Philippines because such action would be advantageous from a commercial, a political and an ethical point of view. Mr. Arnold discussed the commercial point in a very concise and logical manner. He is a clever speaker and was perhaps the favorite of the Missouri trio. Mr. Arnold had an arm load or two of books and papers and things, and hurled quotation, statistics, figures and things so rapidly at his auditors that they called him a winner when he closed his speech and cheered him loudly. hearts of his listeners. Tolan was bubbling over with his subject. It was his rebuttal that had a whole lot to do with the turning of the beam in Kansas favor. Henry S. Conrad was the next man to uphold the Missouri cause. He was the most efficient speaker of the visiting three. He was not so much alive as his predecessor, but his speech was very telling. If he had employed more ginger, or something along that line, he would have been the favorite. He knew his speech and was not so full of figures and things. Mr. Conrad was followed by Clyde Williams, the third man of the Missouri team. Mr. Williams discussed the ethical part of the question and reiterated the leading arguments of the commercial and political phases. He was a pleasing speaker. Each leader had ten minutes to speak on. Mr. Arnold employed his time well but was troubled with papers, charts and books. Perhaps the funniest thing, however, that ever occurred at the opera house was Mr. Botts' summation. The s peaker returned to his native manner of s peaking and litterly ate fat Tiger arguments by the arm load. Leroy F. Rice was the second Kansas man who spoke. He affirmed that the adoption of the Missouri policy is contrary to the constitution and to all treaties that the United States has made. Rice was the graceful man of the evening and his argument was telling. Rice was followed by John H. Tolan who affirmed that the retention of the islands was contrary to the Declaration of Independence and the Monroe Decline. Tolan had the unanswer able part of the Kansas argument and he presented it in a way that caught it the Mr. J. Jay Botts, the fat good natured leader of the Kansasans sat very quietly and listened to the first Missouri man, not saying a word to anybody. He was thinking. When it came time for him to speak his piece, Mr. Botts hopped out from his place and after cutting the plan of the Kansas debate, began to show the Missouri men and everybody else that there is only one side to the question and that is the negative. Mr. Botts confined himself to the rebuttal of the commercial idea advanced by the first Missouri man. Botts put up a mighty good talk, But Missouri did not do all the talking. Jay Botts, Leroy F. Rice and John H. Tolan, the invincible trio of Kansas were there. The Tigers put up a nice clean argument but they nor no one else could persuade the wily Jayhawkers that the United States cared to fuss with the Philippines as a permanent colonial possession. The struggle ceased and everybody wondered how the judges would decide the thing. Missouri had failed to analyze the question to the bottom and show what they meant by a permanent colonial possession. They merely discussed the Philippine question. The Jayhawkers hammered mercilessly at this vulnerable point showing that the United States can not, consistently have a colony, that such is contrary to our institutions and our precedents. Kansas did not lag, either, in her rebuttal. A Notable Event for Kansas Well of course everybody knew a week ago that Kansas won. They also clapped the old hard bands for joy and cried out "lets have good debates from now on." The National Conference of Charities will meet at Topeka May 18 to 24 and many of the prominent workers in charitable and penal institutions of America will be present. Prof. Blackmar will address the conference on 'Social Degeneration in Rural Districts.' He will also write a report for the committee on Politics in Charitable and Penal Institutions. As corresponding secretary of the state Prof. Blackmar will give a description of the progress of all penal and charitable institutions. C. E. Faulkner of Minneapolis, is president of the organization; H. H. Hart of Chicago. is general secretary; J. A. Troutman of Topeka is one of the vice presidents. The conference will visit Lawrence including the University and Haskell. That Kansas City Game. The classes of sociology will be dismissed for the week. K. U.

The trouble was not that Judge Gear had rather a poor lot of players, but rather that those bale ball players were entirely cut of their place—Kansas City Times. Prof, Naismith's classes in physical culture are training every evening on McCook field on hurdle racing. pole vaulting, long distance running and jumping. It was evident, however, judging by the fast plays at times, that the collegians are capable of doing much better, but it was still more evident that they were troubled with a bad case of rattles.—Kansas City Star, The hitting of the college players was much better than their fielding, and bad they been able to bunch their hits, more runs would have resulted - Kansas City Journal. Prof. C G Dunlap, of the University of Kansas, visited the high school on March 9, and made the students a very interesting address on "Books,"which all enjoyed. He said the reading habit means the power to concentrate the mind upon the matter to be read to the exclusion of everything else- Anyone who can form this habit can educate himself. He said we have the noblest literature of any language, and it is ours if we only reach out for it. He urged students to begin at once to try to form this reading habit.-Monthly Optic of Osage City high school. Prof. Dunlap's Address. The May issue of the Delineator has quite a collegiate flavor. Three stories in the one number are localized at Smith College. Every girl with college ambition will find these clever sketches interesting particularly of the student who "cut her French exam."

Under 'College News,' the same magazine tells of the quaint and pretty costumes that now cluster around Commement at the leading colleges for women. 1 THERE IS PLENTY OF MATERIAL Local Meet the Middle of May-A Meet May Also Be Arranged With Haskell. The candidates for positions on the track team are practicing hard and the prospects are very encouraging; as the practice progresses the interest increases. There are more men trying for the team this year than ever before, and there is no lack of good material from which to choose a good strong team. The K. U. outdoor meet will be held about the middle of May and the team will be picked from the winners of the events of this meet. Dr. Nai-smith is in favor or having a meet with Haskell before the team goes against the South Dakota team, and it is hoped that such a meet can be arranged. While the in dians have not been training for such an event, there is time enough yet, and they would be allowed as many men as they wanted to compete with the ten men from K. U, at the local meet and in the K U-Haskell event, it is proposed to introduce a cross country run. This is an innovation in K U athletics but it would certainly prove popular. From any of the buildings on the hill the runners could be watched the entire ten miles of the course. While it is too early to pick the team definitely there are seven men whowill probably be on the team. They are Captain Cates, hurdle and broad jump; Moulton 75, 100, and 220 yard sprints Sawtell 440 yard dash; Wilder 880 yard and one mile race; Simpson, discuss and hammer throw and shot put; De Lans, pole vault, and Toby, high jump and bicycle race. The others who are showing up well are Algie, shot put and pole vault, Merwin high jump, Seyster hurdle, C A Smith high jump and hurdle, Colvin hurdle and short distance run, Bronton high jump and pole vault, Gould, Towers, Gray and Harsbberger, long distance runs, and Colliday, hammer throw. The meet at Sioux City will be held May 21. While the Jayhawkers have never met the South Dakota team in any kind of contest, it is known that they are good athletes and will give our team a hard contest. A Letter. Mr. Harry G. Kyle, of the law class of '99, now practicing law in Kansas City, a member of the firm of Kyle & Hamilton, writes to the manager of the WEEKLY: Dear Sir: I though it might be of interest to you, as news for the WERKLY, to learn of the success of one of the "99 Law students, who is located here in Kansas City at present. Mr. John C. Buttomer, who is with the firm of Brumback & Brumback, has been appointed a "representative of his district" by the national democratic committee, a position that carries with it quite an honor for one so young as he. I know that his friends in Lawrence will be glad to hear of Mr. Buttomer's success, and for that reason I let you know. Yale hall, where Christian work it carried on by students of Yale University for working men of New Haven, has recently added to its activities a Mens Neighborhood club, where public questions of interest are discussed weekly, and a lecture course on Saturday evenings in which members of the faculty lecture on subject such as "Hygiene," "The Single Tax," "Ireland," etc. As a result of these attempts to make the building meet the social as well as the religious needs of the ward, the audiences at the gospel services on Sunday have trebled in size.-Intercollegan.

Lawrence has without doubt the best boating course in Kansas. There are very few days during the season that the river above the dam is not as smooth as a millpond. Why K. U has never engaged to any extent in beating when she has such admirable advantages is inexplainable, unless it is because she might have no rivals in this line in the state. If however we might not contest against other schools we certainly have enough in the University to make a boating contest interesting. So far it seems that the reason so few have taken an interest in this line is that there has appeared no one to lead out. Dozens have expressed a desire to engage in boating but complain that there is such poor organization and so little University interest in it. There is supposed to be a K. U. bcat club but it has either done nothing or keeps its acts secret. Why can we not have a boat club we may be as proud of as our ball clubs, one which is representative of K U? There are great possibilities for pleasure parties on the river. Almost every evening there are severa' boat loads of K U and town people taking a ride on the water. As the season advances the sport will no doubt become more popular. There have been so far a few fraternity parties and a large number of private excursions. In May there are usually boarding club parties, either for the day, or evening. This line of pleasure certainly might well be encouraged by the University and aquatic sports receive some official recognition from the Athletic association. Miss Hyde gave a very interesting lecture on the result of some recent experiments she has been making in trying to substantiate a theory of her relating to collateral circulation. Her theory is that the azygus veins are capable of performing the functions of the vaena caeva. In some of the experiments in trying the vaena coea of kittens, the animals have died. The experiment now in progress seems to be a success, as the animal is living, and seems to have its normal health. But before a conclusion can be arrived at, another operation must be performed.

U. may soon come into possession of a $20,000 endowment, the question arises, where can the money be expended to the best advantage? What is the most urgent need of our school? We think there can be but one answer to that question, and that is that above all things give us a new gymnasium. It is only natural that each department should want all it can get, and we doubt not that there will be several clamoring for this sum, but it seems to us that an impartial person who is familiar with the facts will certainly say that a new "gym" is the frying need at K. U. The demands of other departments have been satisfied but the athletic boys have been allowed their hole in the wall in which, as one of the boys expressed it, "to start the paraphernalia." When the present "gym" facilities are considered the records that K U has made in athletics is mitraculo us. Other schools have large commodious "gyms" but we have shorn them of their laurels. What couldn't we do with a fine gymnasium. It is difficult to get an appropriation from the legislature for a gymnasium, because persons do not realize its importance, and for this reason the endowment that your school is to receive should certainly be for that purpose. Dr. Nalsmith has carefully prepared a plan for a gymnasium that could be built for that amount. It will be 150x76 feet, three stories, and is divided into two parts; one for the girls and the other for the boys. In the basement is the football headquarters, a base ball cage, two swimming pools and bathes, etc. On the next floor are the two gymnasium rooms 75x75 feet fitted with all the appliances for physical development. In the boys' department is a boxing cage with a wrestling cage, both padded, so that no injury can result from the sport. The top floor is one large room which is to be used for basketball, hand ball, indoor base ball or any other game that requires considerable space. It is certainly so be hoped that K. U. can soon offer such a building to her students. Sour grapes again! Just about the time everybody is through commenting on the recent State Oratorical contest, the Ottawa Campus yawns as though in a nightmare and delivers itself of something like the following which the readers of the Weekly will doublebless remember: "The perseverance of the K. U. orator is highly commendable. Falling to win in the contest last year as the representative of the Winfield College he refused his degree at that institution last spring in order that he might go to K. U. and enter the lists from there." The statement that Mr. Meyer "refused his degree at Winfield" is false. Mr. Meyer was compelled to leave Winfield before completing his work there because of failing health and came to K. U. last fall not for the purpose of entering the contest again but because this university offered advantages in his lines of work superior to those afforded by any other institution in the state. Indeed it was only after the most persistent solicitation of his friends here, that he consented to enter the local contest. He made no preparation whatever for the contest until a few days before the local. Now it seems to us that had Mr. Meyer been so eager to enter the contest as the editor of the Campus would have us believe, he would certainly have made more preparation. The Campus further suggests that our orator go to Ottawa in September and enter the contest from that school! Judging from the poor record of Ottawa's orators, that institution certainly needs the services of someone who knows something about oratory. If our representative's fine efforts at Emporia which won the second prize and elicited such glowing comments from the judges, hearers and press; if that "effort" was a "failure," as the Campus puts it, then that of Ottawa's orator was surely a disgrace. SOCIETY. The Sigma Nu party at Pythian Hals last night was one of the very prettiest of the season, and being the first one to take place since the Lenten season has passed, it was so much the more enjoyable. The hall was very beautifully decorated with flowers and the light of many electric lights was reflected, from mirrors, that, placed along the sides of the wall, made a beautiful scene. In each corner of the hall there was a bank of flowers and behind these, in the southeast corner. Zeller's orchestra discoursed in their imitative style, spiritized music. Over the windows were draped the black, gold and white of the fraternity and several electric fans in different parts of the hall tempered the warmth of the evening. The programs were white folders with the fraternity pin in gold on the front. Around this pin a wreath in black completed the color scheme in these cards. There were some sixty couples present. The out of town guests were The Phi Delta expressed their loyal support of the University.

COME OUT THIS AFTERNOON AT 3 O'CLOCK AND WATCH KANSAS SHOW MISSOURHOW TO PLAY THE NATIONAL GAME A WEEK OF BASE BALL GAMES. Within the Past Week the 'Varity Nine e Has Matt the Blues Twice, the Indians Onca, and Todav the Tigers. This afternoon at 3 o'clock the great base ball game of the season occurs on McCook field. It is the struggle between the 'Varsity and her old rival, the Tigers. Last year the Tigers showed the 'Varsity twice but today the Varsity will show the Tigers. In fact the 'Varsity nine expects to beat the old spots off the Tigers and roll them around until even their own den will not know them. It was only a week ago that the 'Varsity trio defeated the trio from the Missouri college in debate, it has been only half-a-year ago that the 'Varsity defeated the fastest football team that Missouri has ever had, today the 'Varsity nine expects to defeat the best base ball team that Missouri has ever had. Their is also another feature of the game today. It is a very expensive game and must have good support. There ought to be 1,152 students on the ground today and they ought to bring their loud, lusty voices and a big sack full of ginger. The contest will be a great one. It'll make the 'Varsity aggregation sweat all the stripes off their pretty stockings, and make them get their nice new trousers all dusty and dirty but they are not caring for expenses. They are going to win the game if it takes the last rag. The 'Varsity nine has been very busy this week. On Friday occurred the second game with the Indians. It was a good, fast game and the boys did very creditable work. Maltby made' his first appearance as pitcher, before the home grand stand and he won a place in the fan's warm hearts. Maltby has a head that is worth a whole lot in a base ball games and he has a little old slow ball that worried the Indians, and then he has another variety that travels faster. The game was quite close and belonged to anybody until the 'Varsity clinched it in the eighth and ninth innings. Curry stood on the third base at the Indian game and received a good deal of applause from the bleachers. He moves around a good deal like a man that can play ball. The old timers, Housh, Poorman, Parent, Moore, Tucker, Barnett and Hall showed up well. The 'Varsity played a game with the Blues in Kansas City Saturday but as the sporting editor of this sheet did not see the game it can not be given only on bear say. The College menran around the diamond four times and the professionals trotted around about twenty-five times, then got tired and did not trot around any more, much to the edification of the college men. Of course the 'Varsity nine played fast ball but being only nine in number and being in the presence of these stalwart professionals and a vast concourse of unfriendly spectators, they did not show up as well as they might have done the conditions been more favorable. It makes a man a little shaky to play before a big grand stand and the college men had not had so much experience as their opponents. Some one said that the 'Varsity nine made a balloon ascension as a whole lot came down in small parachutes at various stages of of the game, and in various places. They are all at home now. The papers spoke highly of our boys' playing, especially of the work of Poorman, Moore and Tucker. The other Blue game was just a little different. The game was on the home ground and the 'Varsity nine felt happier The Blues ran in ten long marks the first three innings, and then they did not run in any more. After that they ran up against our Mr. Morgan, who has beer working out for the box a good deal this spring, but who has not yet been entrusted to the responsible position of pitcher Mr. Morgan was quite a surprise to the Blues and the whole bunch of base ball fans. Of course the professionals perhaps, could have hit him harder than they did, but he showed phenomena form. After Dannie Dant went out of the box the Blues used Sparger and the spectators said that Morgan was just about as good as the other man. Morgan has speed, variety and control, all charateristic of a pitcher. Well, the Blues were working hard to shut the 'Varsity out but in the fourth, when the bases were full the new man got hit and let a man in. A safe and an error gave the 'Varsity two more runs, and then neither side ran any more. Of course the 'Varsity did not expect to "Economy Is of Itself A Great Revenue" Aside of selling the very best and most fashionable clothing, hats and furnishing goods at lowest prices.— University students who wish to economize when purchasing their wearing apparel will be given a chance at Browning, King & Co.

Astronomical Data. Astronomical data for April, 1930, furnished by the Washburn observatory; Mercury is now a moving star and may best be seen about April 21 on which date the planet reaches its greatest elongation west from the sun. It appears as a first magnitude star and will rise very near the east point of the horizon. Venus on the other hand reaches greatest elongation east on April 28, when it will be over 45 degrees distant from the sun and appear in the telescope exactly as a half moon. The brilliancy of the planet is still on the increase and it is by far the most conspicuous object in the evening sky when the moon is absent. Mars begins to appear as a morning star, but is too near the sun for favorable observation. Jupiter and Saturn are the brilliant planets of the morning sky, the former the most conspicuous star then to be seen and followed by the latter in the southeast. The times of sunrise and sunset for the month are as follows: Sunrise—April 1, 5 h 40 m; April 11, 5 h 23 m; April 21, 5 h 7 m; April 30, 4 h h 34 m. Sunset—April 1, 6 h 24 m; April 11, 6 h 35 m; April 21, 6 h 47 m; April 30, 6 h 55 m. The times of the moon's phases are: First quarter, April 6, 2 h 55 m, p m. Full moon, April 14, 7 h 2 m, p m.

An association of American Universitie has recently been formed for the purpose of giving a definite, fixed value to university degrees and of raising the scholarship of the college. Today degrees mean very little. The standards vary with each university and one man may possess a certain degree procured with little labor, while another man may have slaved and toiled many a long year for the same title. If there were a certain uniformity in the requirements for a certain degree, an A.B or Ph. D would mean the same to all who possess them and would become definite and certain. The plan of the association is to have only those college members whose work is up to the standard required. This of course will create opposition from some of the younger and smaller institutions. But the association is not hermetically sealed; it will be a competition in scholarship, and as only worthy candidates will be received, scholarship will ultimately be raised. The association will request that no foreign university admit "any American student to the examinations for a degree in philosophy, unless he presents a bachelor degree from an American college or university"—and it will also consider the "advisability of limiting the institutions from which such bachelor's degrees may be accepted." Such a plan would obviously result in a change in the present method of granting degrees. Every college will strive to raise its scholarship and in this way enter the association, and have its graduates at once recognized by the foreign universities.—Wisconsin Cardinal. What Becomes of Y. W. U. A. Presidents? Among the alumnae of this University, there are many of whom the Y. W. C. A can justly be proud. We have space to mention only a few of them, however. Dr Ida C Barres, '35, took her medical degree at the Woman's Medical College, Philadelphia, and has practised since in Topeka. She has taken a great deal of interest in Association work, both city and state, and is at present the chairman of the State Board of the Y. W. C. A. Miss Laura Radford, '94, was president of the University Association in '92-93. After graduation she was State secretary for two years. Resigning, she was elected to the chair of Latin in Kansas City University; here she stayed two years, when the Inter-national Committee appointed her secretary to India. She sailed November, '99, and after a short stay in Europe, she reached Madras, where she will stay for five years. Miss Kate Niggs, 94, was president of the Association in '93-'94. She accepted a position as teacher of English at the Lawrence high school. In 1899 she was given leave of absence for one year to pursue her studies in Europe. She is now in Berlin. Mrs. Martha Snow Brown '98 was president from '95 to '97. In the summer of '98 she was married to Mr. William Harvey Brown and they soon sailed for Salisbury, Rhodesia, South Africa where Mr. Brown is interested in a large ranch. Miss Anna Banks, '95, was president in '94-'95, and has spent her time since graduation, teaching in Topeka. Miss Agnes Radford '98 held several important positions in the Association, iAfter graduation she taught one year as principal of the High school at Chanute and was then appointed state secretary in which capacity she is still serving.

Moore retained as general secretary of the University Y. M. C. A. for another year. The work he has done here in this capacity during the past year has been successful beyond question. Never has the Association had a larger membership or taken a more active part in University affairs and the various phases of the work, such as the Employment Bureau, care of the sick, and Bible study) which have been developed under his guidance, have made the Association a great power for good in the life of the University.-Nebraska Hesperian.

MORRIS, Cincinnati, Ohio $20,000 ENDOWMENT It is Now Before the Senate.—The Claim of the Old Free State Hotel About to be Realized Upon KANSAS UNIVERSITY MAY SOON REALIZE THIS AMOUNT ON AN OLD CLAIM. While it seems almost too good to be nevertheless it is entirely probable that Kansas university will receive the snug sum of $20,000 in the near future. It may not be this year but it will in all probabilities at least be next year. The story of this endowment goes back to the fifties when Lawrence was but a small village of a settlement of men who wanted to make Kansas a free state. It was then that the Free State hotel was burned and the owner afterwards put in a claim to congress for $20,000. He however turned the claim over to Kansas University for whatever could be gotten out of it. This claim is now in the senate and the prospects are that it will pass. It passed the house last year but of course would have to be sent back to the house again whenever it passes the senate. Y. M. C. A. A very neat card has been issued anouncing the subjects for the remainder if the year. A strong program is ar- anced. Tomorrow, Sunday, at 2:30 the service will be a double header. Our Mr. Folks will talk on "Possibilities of Christian Service in Business," and Dr. Hetrick of Oitawa, will discuss "Medicine as a Christian Life Work." The general secretary, P. O. Hanson, has been asked to prepara a paper for the conference of general secretaries at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. June 26. Dr. Cordley addressed the Thursday evening meeting this week. Several of our members have been in attendance at a conference at Baldwin. The meetings continue over Sunday. Prof. Higgins is to give an address Sunday evening.

SATURDAY EVENING AT THE INDOOR MEET CATES RAISED THE FENCE VAULT AND THE STANDING BROAD JUMP AND SAW-TELL RAISED THE SNAP-UNDER RECORD. A SUCCESSFUL MEET. A Good Crowd Attended-There Was Enthusiasm and Interest, and the Men Showed Training On last Saturday evening quite a large crowd assembled at the Y M C A gymnasium to witness what proved to be one of the most successful indoor meets we have ever had. Records were broken any number of times. Towards the end of the program many remarks were heard concerning the length of it and the large number of events which were not pulled off showed plainly that the management had undertaken too much. It seems that the management should have found some larger place in which to have held the meet. They could also have had more than one event going on at a time. All things considered, the boys did very well and proved that we have some very fast indoor men. In the first event, the suap-under, Sawteille proved himself the best man with Emery a close second. Sawteille cleared the bar at 10 inches above the horizontal bar which was placed at 5 feet 11 incher. He broke all previous records by over 2 inches. Event No. 2, was the pole vault. Cates and Beaman tied for the first place, with the pole $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches above last year's record which was 6 feet $3\frac{1}{2}$ inches. Cates won event 3, the broad jump, in nice shape, breaking last year's record of 10 feet 4 inches by an inch. Thus gave him the record. In the high kick, the 4th event, Cramer proved himself a wonder. He placed the leather two inches higher than it has ever been before, by kicking it at 7 feet 5 inches Herman was second. Brunton won the hitch kick at 7 feet 11 inches. Gray was second. The record is 8 feet inches. Owens won the running high jump at 5 feet; Cates was second at 4 feet 10 inches. The next event was the tumbling, and it proved to be the most interesting event of the evening. The men who comprised the team did remarkably well, they were swift on their feet and went through their program with lots of snap and ginger. Emery, their captain, handled himself extremely well for an amateur. Beaman was at first inclined to have a case of genuine stage fright, but soon recovered himself. In the pole vault De Lano won wonlly over all the other contestants; Sawtelle sprained his ankle in this event. De Lano's high mark was 8 feet, 6 inches. In the feather weight wrestling match Gray won. Cates won in the light weight class. Gray then consented to a try a bout with Cates, but he proved too light for him. Simpson easily won his match in the heavy weight class. Avery and Burues fenced a couple of fast rounds and both declared their honor satisfied. The tug of war between the laws and engineers was not pulled off. A number of other interesting events were cancelled on account of the lateness of the hour. Pudd'n Head Wilson as presented twice last week by the K. U. Dramatic club under the direction of Miss Georgia Brown was a decided success. Full houses greeted the performers and the audiences were well pleased with the play throughout. Several of these home talent plays have been presented under the direction of Miss Brown and they have become very popular but Pudd'n Head Wilson eclipsed them all. The whole cast was exceptionally strong for a home talent play but Will Walker as Pudd'n Head, Miss Eva Brown as Roxy and Miss Mabel Rice as Rowy deserve especial mention.

After college, what? is the thought which is very often uppermost in the mind of the young man or the young woman still within college walls. The majority of college students to some extent live in the future tense. Many young men and women enter college with a definite purpose and that purpose is to fit themselves far a life work. They look upon the years of college life as a preparation, a period of training, a time set apart for such self development and intellectual attainment as will prepare them to enter life equipped as men and women to take their places in the ranks of humanity and face the demands and duties of life. It is true that college life is a vestibule. As we step into it, we leave behind us our childhood; we pause for only a few short years and then step out into a larger life, into manhood and womanhood. The time spent within college walls is the transition period of life. It is the seed time in thought and activity, and yet should it be only that? Would it not be well for us as college students to occupy ourselves with the present tense somewhat well not alone upon the "after-whiles" but to ask of ourselves this question, "In college, what?" Oh, that our college students might grasp the significance of the present moment of college life. The word opportunity is written in large and golden letters over the entrance of every moment into which you pass so rapidly. A moment is short in duration but gigantic in influence, Emerson says, "One of the illusions is that the present hour is not the critical decisive hour. Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. Write it on your heart that the present moment is the moment of opportunity which alone is yours," Make use of time if thou lowest eternity. Know that yesterday cannot be recalled, tomorrow cannot be assured, today is only thine, which if thou procrastinate, thou losest; which lost, is lost forever. This present moment you are making character; the thought of your heart, whether good or evil, is leaving its impress upon your life; the act you are performing this moment is making you either better or worse. But not only should we make use of the passing moments for ourselves, but each brings with it the opportunity for helping others. Oh, that we might "redeem the time;" that we might "buy up these opportunities!" As I look into the faces of Christian students, the one thought uppermost in my mind is that of the God given opportunity which is theirs for helping God to shape and mound lives. The Christian student can in very deed and very truth "be a laborer together with God." He cannot help God to put upon the landscape of nature a cloud or a sunset, but he can be the brush which the Master Artist uses in putting immortal tints of beauty upon a human soul. God's masterpiece is the soul and He can use the Christian student to mould and shape the souls of who come within the touch of the Christ that life. Oh, Christian students, while looking beyond to the after college life, do not underestimate the value of the present moment. Consider each moment spent within college walls as an opportunity come from God to touch some life and mould it more and more into the perfect image of the perfect pattern.—Pennsylvania Chronicle.

THE FEATURES OF THE Game Were the Rank Plays by Both Teams, the Spasmidic Hitting and the Occasional Grand- stand Plays. Last Saturday's game was a fair exhibition of base ball, on the whole. Kansas showed Missouri just as was expected by the Kansas fans but did not show her enough. Kansas' supporters expected to see the home team show the Tigers up hands down, just as Kansas always does in footfall and debate and things, but the Kansas fans were just a little disappointed. They were not disappointed because Kansas does not have the men to play the game, but because the men do not play the game as fast as they can. Tucker, Moore and Poorman are all playing good fast ball, but the others can improve without doing themselves or the town any particular injury. The outfield needed fly paper or something else in their hands; the infield needed practice in picking up grounders and getting them over to first. It was nothing out of the ordinary to see a big nice fly drop singly into a fielders mit then tumble hardly out and roll down the field; More than one Tiger bit a ground ball to third base and ran it out to first; Kansas had an cfl day and so did the nine from Miss souri; Their work was perhaps a little worse than that of the home nine. The home nine played well the first of the season but has had several off days since. The game was somewhat spasmodic, Kansas scored four in the first innning, while the Tigers had been retired with an onion; Kansas scored another quarter in the fifth, while the figs big scoring was in the fourth; It was at 3:10 that the nine surley Tigers took the bench, and Jefries, Gavin and Hawkins went out in one, two, three order. In the second inning the visitors succeeded in sending Rohn around the circuit for their first score. In the third Garvin and Cooper scored, and in the fourth the fireworks started. Three well bunched hits, a walk and trio of errors netted the Tigers four runs and put them one score in the lead. It was at this stage of the game that the grand stand bowled and the bleachers roared, trying to induce the Varstity to take a base. In the fifth the visitors failed to reach the home plate and in the sixth and seventh the Tigers made three more runs, making them a total of ten. The home team started out at a very rapid pace. Housh, Poorman, Parent and Moore hit and with the aid of Morgan and Curry the first four batters crossed the home plate before the side was retired. The home team scored one in the third and one in the fourth. In the fifth the Tigers had a little spell of the rattles and the 'Varsity added four marks to its list, thus relieving the spectators a great deal. Two more scores followed. The following was the line-up in batting order: Kansas. Housas, h. 2, Poorman, s. s. Parent, i. r. Moore, c. Morgan, c. Carry, b. Barnett, c. f. Fall, h. r. Fall, r. f. Mibb, p. Time, two hours.

White: If Kansas loses the services of Arthur Graves Canfield, at the State University, a rite scholar—and scholars are rare, and a gentleman,—and gentlemen are much rarer, will leave the state. Kansas cannot afford to be parsimonious with the state educational institutions. Men like Canfield command high salaries because they are worth the money they receive. Michigan should not be permitted to take anyone from Kansas. Regent Scott: "Three years ago the popist legislature reduced the salary as they had been fixed by the regents twenty per cent. Last year the appropriation was made in a lump sum and the regents restored the salaries as nearly as that sum allowed to the old figure. The regents believe the University of Kansas is entitled to just as good men as the University of Michigan or any other American University, and they would pay the salaries necessary to secure and hold these men if they had the money. But the truth is that the regents of the University are expected to do with $120,000 what the trustee of other institutions are given twice that sum to do. That being true it is no wonder that our own University is to a large degree a training school for the eastern colleges, a place where young men of talent and ambition come to get experience to fit them to do the work that commands good salaries." SNOW LITERARY SOCIETY. The last meeting of the Snow Society was perhaps the most interesting we have yet had. There was an intensely interesting program rendered by the Society, but the most entertaining part was the talk given by Prof Jones. His subject, "2,600 miles on the Pacific" gave promise of an interesting talk and those present were not disappointed. Prof. Jones had his audience entirely within his control and kept them in close attention during the whole of his talk. Last summer Prof. Jones went from San Francisco to Hawaii on a sailing vessel, experiencing sea-sickness and the other ills that amateur sailors are heir to and it was a description of this voyage which he so entertainingly gave the society. Mahoula Johnson, m. j. Mr Houny gave an impromptu entitled "Why I am Studying Organic Chemistry." Mandolin solo, M J Gernon. Mr E J Hinton gave an instructive talk upon the method of liquifying air and the probable use of this substance. Miss Leslie read an original story which is quite interesting. It concerns the new woman, Miss Goss read a college story. Last Saturday night the program dealt almost_entirely with psycological questions. Mr. Ward reviewed current events. Miss Davis reviewed the April number of the Atlantic Monthly.. Miss Goss read a college story. The meeting on May 5 will be the last of the year and a special program will be rendered. Everyone is cordially invited to be present at this, our last meeting. Come and spend an interesting literary meeting with us. Mr. Groves gave a lecture entitled "Use and Abuse of Hypnotism," giving a history of the subject and completely explaining this interesting question. BURK LITERARY SOCIETY. Mr. Gardner spoke upon the "Localization of Functions within the Brain." Mr. Gardner believes that the functions are localized. He gave an interesting and instructive talk. Mr. Smith spoke upon the "Change of Personality," discussing probable causes and mentioning instances in proof of his theory. Mr Hickinson gave a brief history of the development of the American navy, Mr Adams discussed Dewey's career as a sailor and his opportunities for a career in politics. It is essential that all members desiring English credits should be present from now on regularly as we will have but a few more meetings this year. Burke meet at 7; 30 in the east law room on Saturday night. All the material for the new catalogues in the hands of the printer now. The catalogue will be ready for distribution about May 25.

We notice by our exchanges that Arbor day was observed in most of the Kansas colleges, while at K. U., it passed unnoticed. The K. U. base ball team is on its long tip this week, and the hearts of all the royal "fans" are with them. The WEEKLY hope to be able to chronicle a long series of victories. The College Life published at Emporia college is making preparations to get out a commencement edition and the Baker Orange is also to get out a special edition soon. We wish you success, brethren, but we can't say we envy you at all. A picture of Reson Jones, editor-in-chief, and Joe Sellards, business manager, of the Drake College Delphic for '00-'01, was received by the WEEKLY a few days ago. They are both fine looking young men and we are confident that they will conduct the Delphic perfectly satisfactorily. We should, however, like to see a picture of these two men after they have passed through the siege of getting out a college paper. It would be interesting to note the change in their expressions, the added lines of care and responsibility upon their faes, and the entire absence of that pleasant smile which characterizes them now. The nomination of W. S. Hyatt for county attorney by the fusionists of Labette county certainly speaks well for his ability. There were three candidates against him for the nomination, Frank Lamb who graduated from K. U. in '95 and Senator George Campbell, but Hyatt was nominated on the second ballot. Mr. Hyatt graduated from the law school last year and at present is taking an arts course. He has won considerable distinction in debating circles here, having been one of the team that defeated the Missourians last year. He is an active worker and if elected, will serve the people of Labette county faithfully. It is not generally known that there are several good schools and colleges in the Indian Territory, but such is the case. The general impression of the country is entirely erroneous. It is not a wild, desolate country. The hills and valleys are dotted with churches, schools and colleges. There are just as good people there as there are anywhere. It is the same as all new territories and that country certainly has a bright future before it. Among the leading schools of the Indian Territory is the Henry Kendall College at Muscogee in the Creek nation. The Kendall Collegian which comes to our exchange table is one of the best exchanges. ENGINEERING DEPARTM^TNT NOTES. The supply pipe that was laid on Oread avenue, has been connected to the pipe supplying the University buildings. It is possible to secure a pressure of 300 pounds and four streams can be thrown over the dome of the main building from nozzles held at the ground. Mr Fred Nichols has broken the Sophomore record for fast work. He turned out seventeen screws in a regular half day of four hours and forty-five minutes. The good records made previous to this time were those of Mr Battey, thirteen screws, and Mr Flickinger, fourteen screws. The [Junior class in steam engineering went to Topeka last Tuesday where they visited the Santa Fe shops, besides several power plants and foundaries. Profs. Palmer and McMeans went with the class. The Sophomore class in machine designing will go on a similar visit three weeks from last Tuesday. A show case has been arranged in the shops, in which students work will be displayed. The exhibits will include forge work, filing, lath work and parts of machines constructed by [Juniors and Seniors, The Cleveland Ball and Screw Company of Cleveland, Ohio, have supplied the department with an assortment of steel balls to be used in experimental work in connection with Mr. Yale's thesis experiment. Mr. Yale is working out a formula for ball earings in heavy machinery. The Lincoln Oil Co of Cleveland, Ohio, has sent the department a case containing samples of all kinds of lubricating oils. These are valuable as object lessons when the classes study lubricators. THE FACULTY SENIOR GAME Will Occur on Saturday, May 5-The Front of Maka Kona Base Ball As usual the faculty have consented to play a game of base ball with the seniors. This year the much anticipated game will occur on Saturday, May 5. o1 McCook field. Of course the Seniors cannot play ball, and it is questionable if the faculty can play much better, but it is rumored that both teams can beat the 'Varsity nine; so that those who attend will see a fast game? But even if they can't play ball it will be worth eight or nine times the price of admission to see the wind blow H. Foster Jones around the circuit, and it would be an extraordinary sight to see E. D. Adams move faster than a walk, and it would be sort of funny to see Mr Lincoln get his eye on the ball. All the engineers would laugh at Lucien Ira Blake, if he should get hit on the finger, and Lewis Lindsay Dyche would be in ecstatic bliss looking for flies in the outer garden. All the gir's will be out when they learn that Archibald Hogg is going to play close to the grand stand. Martin Rice will also perhaps play on the bench which will be in the shadow of the grand stand. Chancellor Snow assisted by the other base ball fands, including the ladies of the faculty will do intense rooting for the faculty nine. Other men who are interested but who are not signed are Frank Wilson Blackmar, Charles Graham Dunlap, James Woods Green. George Barlow Penny, Erasmus Haworth and Arthur Tappan Walker, who may try to get his son a place on the nine.

The Junior promenade at Eldridge hall last night was a very enjoyable event for Juniors and Seniors. There were some ninety couples present and a pretier promenade has never been given. The hall was decorated with the Junior colors, burst orange and yellow with palms and plants, and numbers of colored lights, while electric fans did duty in available places. At 9 o'clock a farce was presented by five of the Juniors. It was Howell,s "Dress Suit" with cast as follows: SOCIETY. Mrs. Roberts, Miss May Sexton. Mrs. Campbell, Miss Eva Douthart. Bella, Miss Nettie Manley. Mr. Roberts, Ois Perkins. Mr. Campbell, Melvin Taylor. Immediately after this dancing began. Very pretty programs were gdistributed. white folders with a monogram in gold, 1901, on the front. A program of sixteen dances was given. All things combined to make the Phi Psi party Thursday night, a brilliant success. The weather was deliciously inviting, and Eldridge hall wore its most gay and festive appearance, as adorated with flowers, ferns, colored lights and bunting, it resounded to the spirited music of Zayler's orchestra. From the four large chandeliers bunting in the fraternity lavender and pink was arranged in a square, while colored lights hung from the corners to the center of the room. The balcony was draped with the colors, and palms here and there heightened the beauty of the room. A group of palms hid the musicians. The guests were received by Misses Charlotte Parkhurst, Helen Oisis, Dell Frazer, Mrs C. E. Esterley and Mrs. Horwig, and MeissR. R. D. Garver, John Hayden, Joe Wilson, Dr. C. E. Esterley. The programs, folders of heavy green card-board, had the Phi Psi pin in go'd embossed on a white background, in the center of the card. The leaves inside, bore the names of the music, and the chapter roll of the fraternity. Professor and Mrs. Holder led the grand march. Out of town guests were Misses Kroh, Fife, Louise Moore; Messrs Percy Barshfield, Cliff Kroh, Maurice Alden, Jerry McPherson, Lloyd Atchison, Clyde Gilbert, Fred Wood, from Kansas City; Dr. Esterley and wife, George Esterley and wife, Miss Charlotte Parkhurst, Helen Oisis, Edna McClintock, Messrs John Harrison, George Overmyer, Adrian Sherman, from Topeka; Will Maxwell, Paola; Will Ransom, Ottawa; Miss Ruth Hayden, Holton. --- The thirty-third anniversary of the Pi Betta Phi traternity was celebrated Tuesday night by the members of the active and alumnae chapters in Lawrence. At the New Eldridge hall was held a reception and banquet at which were present forty-five Pi Phis. The dining room was profusely decorated with flowers and the fraternity colors. Palms and red tulips were effectively arranged around the room. The table was in the shape of a large V and was a beautiful sight with its feathery ferns and numbers of red carnations scattered here and there. There were many candelabra bearing little red candles arranged on mirror trays. Red carnations were also placed at each plate as souvenirs Mrs F H Smithmyer, toastmistress for the evening sat at the point of the V and introduced the toasts.

The pessimist would answer that he wept for sorrow at being created; the optimist would say that he laughed at the absurdity of it all. However so far as the nations have expressed themselves in art, laughter and tears seem to be about equally ancient. The Egyptians, Greeks and Romans may not have had a Punch, Life, Fuck, Fliegende Blatter, Journal pour Rire, but their frescoes and statues show that they had a keen sense of the ridiculous, at times healthy at others degenerate It has been the same through all ages. With modern nations as with the ancients comic art has in certain epochs become ribald. There is another curious similarity between the comic art of all ages in the subjects made jest of. The mother-in-law figures in the most ancient frescos and in the latest number of Puck which I have before me. Then as now it was the province of the comic artist to ridicule public men, politics, the foibles of women. Egyptian comic art especially directed its shaft at the last. Ganarii the discoverer of "Les sourbouries de femme!" Evolution in comic art? Has there really been an evolution? Yes, but in manner and workmanship rather than in matter. The ancient draughtsman was more direct, broader, and coarser than the comic artist of today. But by today I do not mean the modern era or even this century as a whole, but a more limited period. For in its highest expression comic art now is refined and beautiful—it being the scene, the situation, or the subject which amuses; not the grotesqueness of the figures or the coarseness of the suggestion. Antiquity may have had Hogarths, or even Nasts and Kepplers; but it required the nineteenth century to produce a Du Maurier or a Gibson. * * * The early examples of comic art in this country are rare. One does not usually associate Benjamin Franklin's name with art, yet he was the first American caricaturist or comic artist. In 1754 he devised the picture of a snake severed into eight pieces, representing as many colonies. Out of the serpent's mouth issued a scroll calling upon the colonies to unite, tight and conquer. The title of the drawing was "join or Die." Class rivalry is still intense, though the old manifestation of it in hazing is dying out somewhat. Still the annual cane rush or spree is general, and many customs, more or less local, keep up the spirit. An amusing example is shown by the use of the word fruit at Yale. The fruit of a freshman is the tag of the shirt where the laundry mark is usually placed; the Sophomores endeavor to remove the vii et armis, and preserve them for trophies as Indians did scalp. * * * * * * Finally, the custom of co-education gives a large and sometimes amusing vo cabalury. From the institutions for females alone only a few terms came which were not in vogue elsewhere. These are all words pertaining to eating, with one exception, swain, from a girl's boarding house meaning a male acquaintance. But the institutions for both sexes give many words, most of them, of course, referring to the tendency of young people to fall in love and get married, which manifest itself wherever they may be, perhaps no more in college than elsewhere. The female student is known as co-ed. This word serves as noun and adjective; the verb to co-educate means to converse with a person of the opposite sex. Hen is a common term for the females student. It is used in various compounds, such as hen-medic for a female medical student, hen-roost for a dormitory for women (quail and quail roost are common variations); at Cornell, Sage College is the name of the women's dormitory, and an inmate is a sage-hen, while a male student who calls there frequently is a sage rooster. Calico or calicu is a sort of generic term for the female sex and is used in various connections; e. g., to *fake calc* is to escort a lady to a place of entertainment or social function; a calico course is a course which is much attended by "heens," or in their presence makes the social element prominent; this term is also used figuratively for a firtiation or love affair more or less serious. A co educational walk is one made of two planks with rough stones between them, far enough apart to prevent too close proximity of two persons using them. A cushioned window seat (or sometimes a hammock) is known as a spoon-holder. A cottage course is the term when a young couple leave college, before graduation, to get married. -The Chautauquan. The two little books recently prepared by Prof. Carruth, called "Kansas in Literature," are the fifth and sixth numbers of a series of Kansas books now being published by Crane & Co. of Topeka. Kansas in Literature. It has long been the wish of Kansas publishers to put into more attainable form the literature of Kansas, or at least to publish a more adequate list of it. There have been many partial attempts at such an undertaking, and during the past year or so these attempts have assumed more and more a definite form, as interest in them has been manifested in many ways. This interest is due in a measure perhaps to the work of so many of our newspaper men, some of whom are literary men of high standing. E W Howe of the Atchison Globe and of late years William Allen White of the Emporia Gazette have done much to advance the name and fame of Kansas newspaper writers. Then many of the newspapers of the state have taken up the idea and have developed it in one shape or another. The Mail and Breeze has always a page of Kansas anecdotes, rhymes, and short selections called from exchanges. Last summer several newspapers had a corner for "Kansas Rhymes and Rhymers." At last Crane & Co embodied the idea in this collection, which is called a series of "Twentieth Century Classics," and is designed to present not only the best in Kansas literature, but also several volumes on the history of the state, and articles on her mineralogy, her geography, her natural history, and many other subjects of interest to her people. There is also a list, as complete as possible, of the best of Kansas publications. The managing editor of the series is Professor W M. Davidson, superintendent of the public schools of Topeka. It is published in the form of a magazine, which appears monthly, and the work is done by different men of the state. It has been put on sale at all book stores. The work for this year as regularly planned at first was divided into three heads, and under these, the different topics to be treated are: 1 John Brown of Kansas. 2 Jim Lane of Kansas. 3 Eli Thayer and the Emigrant Aid So society. 4 Territorial Governors of Kansas. Literature: 7 Kansas in Poetry and Song. 2 Selections from Ironquil. 4 Kansas in History: Nature Study Group: 2 Selections from iron $ _{2} $ 2 Kansas in Literature 3. Kansas in Literature 4.

The 2 Jim Lane (sketches) 4 Minerals of Kansas. These comprise what is called Volume I The next volume will be the final volume. 4 Kansas Birds. The next ones are to be historical numbers. Each number contains an introduction which prefaces excellently the work undertaken in the book. That of the volumes on Kansas Literature by Prof. Carruth, is a review of Kansas Literature from its first days, and much is told here that is not only interesting, but to many entirely new. The selections in these two little books are the finest to be found in our Kansas productions. 6 Kassas in Literature II. Prose. DONNELLY BROS.
