NAMES OE STUDENTS WHO ARE ENTITLED TO WEAR "K'S."
"K's."
At a meeting of the Athletic Board on Thursday, "K's" for work in foot ball were awarded to the following members of the 1903 team: Alpha Brumage, Arthur Pooler, Carl Ackerman, Harry Allen, John Fleishman, W. H. Chappell, Albert Hicks, M. E. Michaelson, E. M. Bruner, P. C. Donald, Wm. Rice, Chester Cooke.
The following is a list of all men, members of the University at the present time, who are entitled to wear "K's" according to the records of the Athletic Board.

An effort has been made this year to cut down the number of "K's" given by the board. "K's" have been too easily won in the past, and should have more value and carry more honor with them. The foot ball team that started the Missouri game was the same that played throughout the Nebraska game and they received their initial letter. There were four other men who were eligible—Cooke, Ise, Griggs and Woodford. Cooke had played in the greater part of more games this year than the other three and in several games last year and was given the letter.
Manager Plank has started on the 1903 basket ball schedule and promises the students a good one.
BASKET BALL.
The team will be one of the strongest K. U. has ever had, if "dope" counts for anything. Among the men who are trying are Allen, Hicks, Pooler, Michaelson, Fleishman, McCauley and Rice.
DEBATE.
The University Debating council met last Thursday and the following committees were appointed. Prof. Lawrence, Mr. Leinback and Mr. Bartlett were chosen to select the question for the Kansas-Missouri debate, Prof. Frazier, Mr. Johnson and Mr. Keyser were chosen to revise the constitution, subject to the approval of the council.
The question of changing the plans of holding preliminary contests was discussed. There is a feeling that the chance or accident by which the debating teams are chosen should be eliminated and that some well defined method should obtain. There is also a belief that more systematic study on the question in debate is necessary, and which can easily be brought about by a form of debating school.
ORATORY.
The University of Kansas has entered the oratorical association of the state universities of the Mississippi Valley. There is a likelihood of Missouri, Nebraska, North and South Dakota, also entering the association. Colorado has already joined and Iowa will be invited. A contest will be held in St. Louis in June, in connection with the World's Fair. The contest will take place in the Hall of International Congresses.

THE UNIVERSITY LECTURE COURSE.
The Ovide Musin Concert Monday Night.
The Ovid Musin concert company will give the first entertainment of the University lecture course in University Hall next Monday evening. Tickets for the course are being sold at the University check stand, at Spalding's and by the student canvassers, at $1.50 for the six lectures and concerts. Tickets for admission to the Musin concert only will be sold at 50c, or 75c for reserved seats. Course tickets will entitle holders to reserved seats. The chart for reservation of seats is at Spalding's.
The lecture course consists of a concert by Ovid Musin, the great Belgian violinist, who was so well received here several years ago; a lecture by Dr. Edward A. Steiner on the results of extensive studies in Europe, especially in Russia, upon the problems of political and social reform; lecture recitals by the departments of public speaking and of music at the University; a concert by Mr. George Crampton, who is now singing in the Suzanne Adams concerts and who received very high commendation in Topeka last month; a lecture by Colonel Hewatterson, editor of the Lonisville Courier-Journal.
It has been unusually difficult this year to secure entertainments of the first class, at rates that would justify bringing them to Lawrence for this course. Those secured are all of the very best class. The expense of those brought from abroad will make it necessary to sell practically all of the tickets that can be accommodated in University Hall, the special recitals by the departments of the University are gratuitous additions to the course. The profits that may be made above expenses will be returned to the general University lecture fund.

The Carnegie picture exhibit is a success. So far there have been 3,000 visitors to see them and the amount of money taken in has been over $575. The expense of bringing the exhibition here has been about $800 and Prof. Griffith thinks that the "show" will more than pay for itself.
The annual banquet given by the engineering students will take place December 11 at the Eldridge House. There will probably be over 300 in attendance,
The University of Kansas orchestra, under the direction of Dean Skilton, will play in chapel next Friday morning. About the end of January the orchestra will give a concert in University hall.

THE UNIVERSITY of Kansas Glee Club, under the direction of Prof. Hubach, made its first public appearance in chapel Friday morning. The result was most successful. Their selections were well made and decidedly well sung; but they made their mistakes. Such a glee club has no right to even attempt to be modest. If they had remained on the rostrum, after the first number, instead of trying to retire, they might have had time to sing us something more about those interesting flies. The club need have no doubt about preparing three or four, or five, or six encores.
OUR FRESHMEN are becoming somewhat obstreperous. They are forming the bad habit of expressing their enthusiasm at the wrong time. This was very forcebly illustrated during the chapel exercises last Friday. After the glee club had rendered two most delightful numbers, Prof. Carruth attempted to say something to the students. With no other thought in mind than that the music of the glee club was entirely too good, and too much appreciated to stop so soon, the students, the freshmen particularly, insisted on trying to call them back. The students realized that Prof. Carruth was trying to speak but they wanted some more of that good music. When Prof. Carruth could make himself heard, he kindly announced, much to the surprise and the indignation of the students, that it was not he whom the students were insulting, but Dr. Banker whom he was trying to introduce. His words cast a most depressing influence over the whole audience, and were absolutely insulting to the students, most of whom did not even know that Dr. Banker was to speak to them. Surely it is no reproach on Dr. Banker that the students wanted another song. He probably would have enjoyed one himself. Prof. Carruth simply misunderstood the students. The freshmen are not the only ones who make mistakes.
The whole affair would never have happened had the person who arranged the morning's program had a little forethought. Dr. Banker should have appeared first and then the glee club.
THE PLEASING MUSIC of the glee club suggests that we might have some very fine
music in chapel Friday mornings. If he students attend chapel regularly four days in the week, they have the right to look forward to an interesting program every Friday. We have the boy's glee club, the girl's glee club, the orchestra, Prof. Skilton, Prof. Hubach, Miss Bowersock, Miss Maude Morrison, Roy Winton and many other fine musicians, whom the students would always enjoy.
The students all know that the sea of upturned faces which beats and breaks on the banks of the rostrum is a pleasing and most imposing sight: we realize as well as anyone that we are modern Appolos and Venues, we understand that the University of Kansas is the best university in the West and that we are the most fortunate people on earth; we know that Kansas is the only state on the map—we learn that in the ward school. We are educated. We know that man's being is a compound, complex affair composed of matter and spirit. We know that we should be well rounded out—that our souls should be trained as well as our bodies. We know that we like music too—anything from grand opera to rag time—anything that even sounds like music. And then what can possibly awaken a man's soul like a piece of good, or even a piece of bad music. Give us music!
WHILE THERE is no doubt in our minds that we were right in severing athletic relations with Nebraska, it is gratifying to know that our sister university, Missouri, appreciates the stand we have taken. We reprint with a great deal of pleasure the following article taken from the M. S. U. Independent:
"When Kansas decided to have no more athletic relations with the University of Nebraska we believe that the cause of pure athletics in this section of the country was greatly benefitted. Nebraska has a reputation all over the West for professionalism in athletics. The official student publication, the Daily Nebraskan, admitted that the foot ball team was permeated with professionalism. In the last controversy between Kansas and Nebraska, we have but little doubt that Kansas was in the right simply from our knowledge of conditions at the two schools. Kansas is striving toward athletic regulation, while Nebraska seems to be sticking to professionalism. Both Missouri and Kansas have ceased all athletic relations with Nebraska, so there must be something wrong for schools never take such a step without good cause."
The Yale French Club will this year present Moliere's "Le medicine molgre lin" on December 2. The costumes are reproduced from drawings made of those used in the last production of the piece at the comedie Francaise in Paris. The proceeds of the play are devoted to a public lectureship fund to secure noted Frenchmen to lecture on questions of literary and educational interest.
INTER COLLEGIATE NEWS.
An association composed of faculty members and students has completed plans to produce a monthly literary magazine at the University of Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Lit will appear early in December. The faculty members are stockholders in the publishing association. A student board of editors will have charge of the literary management of the publication. The magazine is to be a monthly, and justifies its existence as affording "an outlet for the expression of such literary ability as may exist among the students."
The football association at Yale has cleared $50,000 from this season's games.
A memorial will be erected at Purdue University to preserve the memory of the Purdue foot ball men killed in the Big Four railroad wreck at Indianapolis. Nearly all those killed in the wreck were athletes, and a gymnasium has been suggested by the citizens of Lafayette. Gov. Durbin has started a subscription, heading the list of donors. The citizens of Lafayette are willing contributors to the fund, and many have already signed their names. The governor has requested all who purchased tickets for the game; ask for no refund, and the amount the athletic association would realize in this way would be nearly $6,000.
The management of the University of Wisconsin foot bad team has given out the total receipts of the Minnesota-Michigan game at $30,993.50. This money will be evenly divided between the Athletic Associations of the two universities, after all the expenses of the game have been paid.
The gross receipts from the Wisconsin-Michigan game were $13,000.

X. Y. Z.
On the evening of November 28th the first meeting of the X. Y. Z. Debating Club in its new club room was held. The room that has been fitted up by the club is on the fifth floor of Fraser Hall, and was formerly used as an office and recitation room by the department of public speaking. Early in the term, Prof. E. G. Frazier offered to give up the room; to the X. Y. Z. Club and arrangements were made by which the room was turned over to them to be repaired and furnished as they saw fit.
The work of preparing the room is now almost completed. The plastering has been patched, the walls and ceiling painted, and moulding put in. Chairs have been furnished by the club, and other furniture and decorations will soon be added. Electric lights have been ordered, and will be installed as soon as possible. In addition, the club has made arrangements to have the stairway leading up to the room lighted by electricity.

The foot ball season for 1903 is now history and we look forward to the season of 1904 with more hope and better prospects than foot ball has ever had before here. The foot ball squad will be nearly the same as this season and with experience
and more knowledge of Coach Weeks' system, we should be able to beat anything in this part of the country. The team this season was made up largely of green men, that is, to university foot ball, and if their work this year is any indication of what it will be next year, the university will have no cause for complaint.
K. U. has had a trying time, purifying athletics and several times has lost good men on that account, but has been trying all along to live up to the spirit and letter of the rules under which they play. A permanent student body and genuine college spirit are necessary to make a team successful under the circumstances and results this season speak well for the system. To start the season, Weeks had
To start the season, Weeks had
five men who might be called veterans, Brumage, Allen, Pooler, Hicks, and Cook, and Ackerman and Bruner, who had played as substitutes last year. These men were a nucleus around which to build a team and were used to hold this team together. The team that played the first games of the season was weak in that one great element of foot ball—team work—and did not much resemble that smoothly working foot ball machine that crushed Oklahoma and tore up the Nebraskan's "stone wall" defense.
Coach Weeks deserves most of the credit for the good record the 'varsity has made this year. He took new material and whipped it into shape in a few weeks and was able to so instruct the team that
<
they gave the spectators of the Kansas-Nebraska game the best exhibition of foot ball ever seen on McCook field. The Athletic Board has shown their appreciation for Mr. Weeks efforts and their confidence in his coaching abilities by passing a resolution, thanking him and wishing him good luck for the season of 1904.
Probably one fault with the foot ball training at K. U. has been the change of systems. In '00 the coach tried to teach the Cornell system. In '01 Dr. Outland taught Pennsylvania tactics. In '02 Curtis, Wisconsin, and this year Yost's Michigan system was taught. To be a veteran meant very little, so far as knowing how to play the positions went and the old men started at the beginning again. Next year things
will be different. Mr. Weeks will know the men, just what they can do and where they belong, and then think of the foot ball material he will have to work with.
Of the team, we can only assure them again of the support of the student body and of the appreciation, by the student body, of their work the past season
To be a member of a college team is one of the highest honors in the college courses nowadays and each and every athletic representative of the University receives this honor in some degree. A college athlete gets little remuneration beyond this, but one, with the right athletic spirit and the right college spirit asks for no more
The University is proud of the team and promise their support under any conditions.

THE TEAM.
Here's to each lusty lad,
In his dun armor clad—
Canvas and guard and pad
Tough as a beam!
Up with the college hues!
Whether it win or lose,
Cheers, till the stones enthuse—
Cheers for the team.
What a crowd back of it,
Ev'ry man jack of it;
Sport, no lack of it,
East to the west!
Graybeard and callow youth,
Matron and Maid, forsooth,
Loyal through joy and truth,
Stanch in their zest.
Beaten, we'll cheer it still;
Biding our day until
Vict'ry our cup shall fill—
Vict'ry and glee.

List to our loud salute:

Alpha Brumage, Captain of the 1903 team, is a Beloit boy. "Brum" has played three years on the 'varsity at fullback, tackle and end and is a good, hard working player. His work has never been phenomenal but he is always just where he is needed the most and plays for the team all the time. He has been a good Captain, a good player and a good university man, and has the confidence and best wishes of every student in the university.
Albert Hicks, Captain-elect of 1904, is also from Beloit, where he played four years on the high school team. He has played here three years at end and his position has always been well taken care of. He is a hard, steady player and has the faculty of always watching the ball and being somewhere near it on all occasions, especially on fumbles. In his first game with the university team he made a run of 100 yards and a touchdown, having recovered the ball on a fumble. The team showed their confidence in him by making him captain for next year. His work the past year has made him deserving of this honor and he will make a good man to lead the 1904 team. Hicks was named by McLean as an end on the all-Missouri Valley eleven.
A. B. SMITH
ALBERT HICKS, Captain 1904.
Weeks says that Allen and his team mate Donald, are two of the best tackles in the West and that he would rather have them than any other two tackles in this part of the country. Allen is a middle law and has played two years on the varsity.
Harry Allen, tackle, is one of the big men of the squid. He comes from Independence, Missouri, where he had foot ball and basket ball training. Allen has been one of the strongest men in the K. U. line on both offensive and defensive.
JOHN B. WATSON
HAROLD WEEKS,
Football Coach, 1903-04.
Donald, the other tackle, weighs 210 pounds all of which he makes count against his opponents. Donald has been, probably the best ground gainer K, U, has had this year and has beeh used as many times to carry the ball as any man on the team. He has had little football experience, one year on the Moran, Kansas team being all that he has played. Donald was the man who wore that pink sweater Thankgiving day at Kansas City and every one knew when "Don" got the ball and how far he went with it.
Ackerman and Bruner are an ideal pair of guards. They are of nearly the same weight and played the same kind of a game. They were shifted several times but finally settled to their rightful positions at guard. Both were good ground gainers and good hole makers and could be depended upon to advance the ball or make room for some one to go through. Coach Weeks says of the center position: "At center there is not an equal of Michaelson in the West. He could make Michigan if he would go there and work for the position." Michaelson was the only man on the team to play his same position throughout every game of the season. He is a hard, heady player, breaks through the line well and is a good tackler. This was his first year at the game and by next year certainly ought to be the best center K. U. ever had. He is a law student in the middle year and comes from Moline, Kans. Fleischman who played left end the greater part of the season is from Topeka, where he played on the high school team for three years. He is 6 feet 2 inches in height and weighs 100 pounds. He is a good man at going down under punts and at getting runners from the interference. With more experience he will make one of the best ends in the country.
Arthur Pooler is second only to Bender, of Nebraska, of the Missouri valley states as quarterback. He has played the position two years for Kansas and always has been at the right plan at the right time. His work this year has been excellent and his great kick Thanksgiving day has caused his name to be written with the names of the old foot ball heroes. This Eckersall of Kansas is a small man in inches but Missouri claims that his right foot is immense—in fact about 5 points bigger than Missouri.
Chapell, regular half back and another of McLean's Missouri valley eleven, is from Chanute and had no foot ball experience before this season. His work in the Nebraska and Missouri games was of high order. Rice the other half-back is a little tighter man than
Chappell but makes up in experience what he lacks in weight. Rice is from Topeka, where he played 8 years on the Topeka high school team. Anamasa and Ardinger, the Missouri halves, had both had much more experience than had Chappell and Rice but it would be about an even break between them for an all star team.
Woodford first substitute halfback played a fast game but had little or no experience before this season. He is a hard worker, a good trainer, and speedy. With more experience and a better know ledge of the game he will make a strong man back of the line. He is from Burlington, Kansas, and is a middle law with one more year to play.
Is., substitute half, is light for the position but is speedy and has had much foot ball experience. He is from Doms, Kansas, a sophomore art. He has two years more to play.
Cooke, regular half back, until he was injured in the Washburn game, played on the last year and played against Missouri last year. He is one of the speediest men in school and would have probably held his place had not his injuries kept him out. For his good work last year and this season, the Athletic Board gave him a "K."
Griggs, substitute half back, helped as much as any one to win the Missouri game. He went in toward the close of the second half and by his runs advanced the ball in to kicking distance. He is a good kicker and a good man to advance the ball. He is from Topeka, where he played on the high school team for 3 years.
Johnson Strickter, substitute line man is from Topeka and had his preliminary training on the Wentworth Military Academy team. He is 6 feet in height and weighs 175 pounds. He is a good player and will make some one fight for guard next year.
John Greenlee, substitute guard, is a senior art and graduates this year. He played in only one game, the Oklahoma game, but with more experience would make a good player.
Nebraska has made a most noble effort in trying to straighten the tangled skein of Eastern and Western foot ball championship troubles by attempting to get a game with Princeton, the leaders of the East. What a glorious battle it would be! Nebraska makes no assertions about being a representative of the West, but she seems to think she could give Princeton a hard fight. Since our friend Nebraska has failed to land Big Nine honors, she is at a loss to know just in which direction to turn.
BASKET BALL.
Manager Plank is very busy making up his basket ball schedule. He has several trips in mind, one east and one west, one of which will probably be taken. The western trip extends through Kansas and Colorado and as far as Cheyenne, Wyoming, and games could be aranged with nearly every good team on the way. The eastern trip, which will probably be taken, will extend through Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and Iowa and as far as Fon Du Lac, playing nearly every good college and Y. M. C. A. team on the route.
Basket ball has taken a strong hold in the northeast as an indoor game and a trip in that direction will pay expenses.
For home games, the team will play Wm. Jewell, K. C. Athletics and Y. M. C. A., Lindsborg, Topeka, Baker, Ottawa and several others.
The team should be one of the best in the country. Captain Allen has had much experience in the game and is considered one of the best basket ball players in the West. Among the men trying for the team are Hicks, who played last
yea Captain Brumage, Michaelson, McCaulley, Ray Adams, Draper, Grigra and Fleishman.
Manager Plank is trying to make the winter and spring sports pay for themselves. That is to make the sports between the end of one foot ball season to the beginning of the next come out even anyway. There is no reason why they should not. Track athletics pay in a financial way the least of any of the sports, but enough should be cleared from base ball and basket ball to make up the deficit caused by them.
THE FOOTBALL RECEPTION
The reception given in Snow hall a week ago Wednesday evening to the foot ball men—bully brave men and true—of the University of Kansas, was of course, a success. Had it not been for the inclement weather and the postponement of these festivities to a week day night where it intereferred with the ordinary routine of the students, the affair would have been the more monstrous success for which the occasion called.
After the K, U. band had a little preliminary spin upon their instrument- the chancellor appeared in the lead of the company of modern Spartans. He headed the program of the evening with a brief talk, in which he expressed his entire approbation of the team, its captain, its doing, and its coach. The Chancellor made personal mention of Hicks and Pooler. He remarked upon his extreme satisfaction with
K
ALPHA BRUMAGE Captain 1903.
our coach Mr. Weeks, and expressed it as his earnest desire that Mr. Weeks would be with us again next year. The Chancellor mentioned a compliment upon us and our team which he received from the coach of the Missouri team. He also spoke of our "virtual victory" over Nebraska.
The Chancellor was followed by Judge Green. He voiced the sentiments of the Chancellor concerning our team and our coach, and extended his benediction to the "scrubs."
Professor Carruth was next upon the stand; he echoed the sentiments of the Chancellor and Judge Green. Professor Carruth was followed by Dr Naismith, who laid particular emphasis upon the gentlemanly, clean, sportsmanlike foot ball which the team played and was coached to play by Mr. Weeks. Dr Naismith spoke of the conscientious manner in which our men trained and the self-sacrifice incident to such training. He requested that the other students do not lay temptations in the way of these men in training, rather that they encourage them in it, and applaud them for it. He spoke of the reluctance with which a man of our team leaves a game even when he is cruelly disabled. He said the only way by which one of our men can be induced to leave a game is for him to be told he is no longer of use on the field.
Mr. Weeks received highest praise
from the Chancellor, Judge Green Professor Carruth and Dr. Nat smith.
Following Dr. Naismith's remarks Mr. Plank was called. Mr. Plank was immediately seen busy ing himself with twenty-two large pasteboard boxes. These boxes proved to contain sweaters, which were presented one each, and a cheer every time, to twenty-two of our football men. Twelve "K's" were awarded. This is the first time that sweaters and "K's" have been given at the football reception. It is the intention of the athletic board to make it an annual affair.
Captain Brumage in behalf of his men extended thanks for the appreciation and support of the faculty and students of the University, and for the sweaters. Captain Brumage expressed his confidence in our having a winning team next year.
Michaelson was then prevailed upon to talk, and Donald could not be. Ackerman thanked every for everything. Donald was a called and again took defen. hind his modesty. Chappell der. ered a talk which was distinguished by its extreme brevity. Brunner exhibited a bashfulness almost equal to that displayed by his colleague, Mr. Donald.
Professor Higgins did not talk
Professor Higgins did not talk. The ceremonies of the evening were concluded by much hand shaking.
FEITSHANS GETS A ... K.'
At the meeting of the Athletic Board on Monday, a "K" was voted to Rollin Feitshans in recognition of his services to the University on the tennis courts. At the present time Feitshans holds the singles tennis championship of four universities including Nebraska, Missouri and Oberlin Universities. Clifford and Feitshans hold the doubles championship of Missouri University, while Pierson and Feitshans hold that of Nebraska.
A MID-WINTER TRACK MEET
1
BASE BALL PROSPECTS FOR 1904.
There is a move on foot to arrange a mid-winter track meet between the University of Missouri and Kansas to be held probably in Kansas City.—M. S. U., Independent.
At the close of the foot ball season our attention is turned to the base ball prospects for the spring of 1904. Kansas beat us at foot ball and the students are looking forward to the base ball team to trim the Jayhawkers - M.S. U. Independem.
The Athletic Association of Cornell University has decided to build racing shells as a commercial enterprise, and will undertake to meet all demands for boats. A skilled boat builder has been engaged and a regular shop will be opened. There is at present a large demand for Cornell boats. Harvard has agreed to purchase a new eight oared shell for her Varsity race against Yale next spring, and the University of Washington agreed to purchase a new eight oared shell.

THE UNIVERSITY DRAMATIC CLUB.
Its Past and Its Future.
The University Dramatic Club, although it is only in its third year, has become a part of the regular University features and has been a help to the student body as a representative test of the dramatic talent of the students. It has been upheld only moderately well by patronage although the University
P. C. S.
EDGAR G. FRAZIER,
Director of Dramatics
in every case has been benefitted by the performances given by the club. The members chosen for a cast give all their spare time and work to the rehearsals and spare no pains or expense to make the plays a success. Their officers superintend the giving of the play in the most business like way possible and share nothing but the satisfaction of seeing the performance end successfully.
Not many people know or at least stop to think of the work or expense incurred in giving a performance of the character that have been given by the Dramatic Club.
Selecting the cast and assigning the characters alone for the last play took two weeks. The interpretation of the characters and the staging of the play has to be worked out during every night of the rehearsal and the director's time and experience is invaluable in these things. The expense of special scenery, hall rent, costumes, advertising and such matters of importance count up in plays of one or two nights performance.
The figures of the business managers of the three years will show what has been done by the club.
In 1906-1902 the club gave "Shore Acres"; the figures, for that are as follows:
Receipts - $319.00.
Expenses $1507 including the director's per cent but not including the personal expenses of the cast.
Paid to the Organ Fund $150, making a total expense of $300.75, leaving $18.75 for the expense fund for the following year.
In 1921/1923 "A Night Off" was given
two nights.
Total expense including director's salary and also the personal expenses of the cast, $383.50.
Receipts for first night, $271.50.
Receipts for second night, $102.00
Total, $373.50.
To the Oratorical Association for prize, $25.00, leaving $10.00 for the expense fund for the following year
This year "Mabana" was the play chosen and it took more work individually than either of the previous plays and the receipts were less; owing to the inconvenient time chosen for its performance. The cast got nothing whatever from the proceeds and their work has been done ungrudgingly though in crowded conditions.

There have been a few whispered accusations from some of the students and faculty indicating the dramatic Club as a graft. These
hints make the club feel like they had been stepped upon and then kicked for not squirming. They have worked hard and willingly hind have turned over a good balance to the University each year until this year when it has been decided to reorganize the club making a base of faculty supervision and student and faculty control. For this reason the balance has been kept for next year.
next year. The club as it will probably exist in the future will consist of about fifty members and be divided into about five sections, each section being responsible for a monthly program given for the club and invited guests for the selection of a cast for the regular public play or plays to be given by a picked company. It will also add to the social aspect of the club as there has thus far been little else than work before the members and few of them to do the work.
A committee of three members of the faculty will be chosen by the Chancellor to confer with the business manager and the president of
will likely be the studying and staging of plays of literary value. This will require a much more thorough and consciences study of the author, the characters of the drama, the interpretation of the lines,and the conditions which gave rise to the drama itself.
In the selection of plays of this character there are two broad fields from which the club may choose; plays may be chosen which have been recently produced and found to be successful. plays like "She Stoops to Conquer," "The Rivals," "School for Scandal," etc.; or plays may be chosen from the dead and almost forgotten dramas of the old masters, in this case the production would be in the nature of a dramatic revival, as was the recent performance of the old fourteenth century morality play, Everyman.
The production of plays from either of these two classes, however, is an undertaking more pretentions than anything yet attempted by the club. In some cases, indeed, it might even mean the building of a complete set of scenery, and the designing and making of a wardrobe for the cast. Then, too, the assistance of a large number of students might possibly be needed to represent adequately the various scenes
tions and not to caricature or abuse the individual. It is needless to say that the student or students chosen to construct the play should write always with the idea of embodying in the play literary excellencies. The plot, if not local, might be purely imaginary. The scene could be laid in some far, out of the way country, the theme fanciful or startling, the plot unusual and its development unique.
The officers and members of the club at present are: President, O. B. Syster; business manager, Herman Kube; property manager, Jess Worley; members, Walter Herrick J. A. Peters, Dudley Doolittle, Karl Kilby, Roy Himman, Ray Adams, Frank Burford, Ray Clifford, Mr. Hulbert, Misses Inez Plumb, Maude Morrison, Nell Wilhelmi, Marienne Brooks, Margaret Philbrook, Maude Olander, Bonnie Bell, Hazel Stevenson, Margaret Hammond, and Miss Sciven.
The Dramatic Club of the University of Minnesota has completed all arrangements for a trip during the Christmas holidays. The play to be presented is "One Night Only." The costuming and stage settings are said to have been lavishly supplied. The cost of staging is estimated at $500

the executive committee of the club. An organization of this character will give a form of entertainment and instruction to the members that would pay them in some measure for the time they put in preparing fares for monthly entertainment and heavier or more extensive plays for public performance.
The work of the club each year has been very satisfactory. There is of course a certain amount of inferior acting in every amateur play but we have been fortunate in having a good director and a willing cast and altogether the club has been above the standard of the average dramatic club of universities.
All of the plays given by the Dramatic Club up to this time have been by American dramatists only. It was felt wise to limit the club, at first, at least, to the portrayal of that kind of life with which the students were most familiar. Hence, it was that American dramatists who depict American life and habits, were chosen. This experience has given the club members a fairly good insight into the interpretation of dramatic themes. The next step in the development of the club
of the play. The expense of giving such plays would be great, greater perhaps than could be paid from the sale of tickets. Hence it would seem that if plays involving so large an expenditure of energy and money are to be given the club, itself should be reorganized in such a way that the possibility of individual financial loss is eliminated; tor, as long as the members of the cast are required to do the drudgery, inevitably connected with the stageing of a play, and to stand whatever financial loss there may be, there will doubledess be the tendency to choose those plays in which drudgery and loss are reduced to a minimum.
But should the Dramatic Club consider it unwise to undertake plays of the character just mention, ed, opportunity might be found for the construction of plays with an original plot. The plot could be local in the sense that its theme would be drawn from the social, political or intellectual conditions of our own state; nor would it be unfitting to introduce certain phases of university life in which the object would be to set forth under-graduate life and university trad-
Arranging tours for college dramatic clubs is new among western colleges. Four towns will be visited with a probability of a fifth, the city of Duluth being a final stand. The club last year made a similar trip so successful that the event was made an annual one. Pieces in the cast were keenly contested for.
The winner of the preliminary oratorical contest at Drake University to select a representative to the Iowa oratorical contest confessed that he was guilty of plagiarism. With the oration, he now admits is not his own work, he last year won first place in the Colorado high school oratorical contest. The discovery that the oration was not original was made by a woman student who recognized not only the idea but also whole passages as taken from a chapter in "Portraits and Principles" entitled "The Value of Decision."
The athletic benefit performance to be given at Cornell University advertises its main feature an original burglesque sketch entitled "Mrs. Re-Niggs of the Cabbage Patch;" another attraction is a vaudeville stunt entitled "Boozy Susie," in which seventy "rosebuds" appear.
THE X. Y. Z. DEBATING CLUB.
The X, Y, Z. debating club represents the highest stage in the evolution of college literary societies It is distinguished for the closeness of its organization and the practical character of its literary work. Originally formed for practice in debate and extemporaneous speaking, it has kept this object steadily in view, but has broadened its field until now there is scarcely a University interest in which its influence is not felt.
The quality of the work in debate is shown by the number of men furnished by the club for the University debating teams. Of the eight men who took part in the inter-state debates last year, four were members of the X.Y.Z club.
The serious work of the club is varied by occasional social affairs, of which the most elaborate is the annual banquet which is given sometime during the spring term.
Although the club has been organized only three years, it already has reason to be proud of its alumni members. Among the former X.Y.Z men are now to be found teachers, college instructors, news paper men and ministers, as well as graduate students in this and other institutions.
In order to keep in connection with the alumni members, an information bureau, based on a correspondence system, has been commenced this year. In this way, the club is enabled to get news of its graduate members, and absent members can keep informed in record to the doings of the club.
At the beginning of this term, arrangements were made by which the room formerly occupied by the department of public speaking was turned over to the X. Y. Z. club, to be used as a permanent club room. Authority to make any desired alterations in the room was granted by the chancellor, and extensive repairs and improvements have been made. New furniture has been put in by the club, and the room is now one of the most attractive in Frazer hall.
In order to transact the financial business incident to the fitting up of the club room, it was thought best to have the club incorporated. Application was made to the Secretary of state, and by a charter granted in October, 1003 the club is reorganized as a corporation under the laws of Kansas.
The first board of directors elected by the new corporation consists of G. L. Metcaff, Frank Grant, Samuel E. Bartlett, E. S. Cowdrick and Chester A. Leimbach.
The officers who served for the first three months this fall are: Chester A. Leinbach, president; Mr. Ashbaugh, vice president; J. W. Kayser, secretary; Samuel E. Bartlett, sergeant at arms.
At the meeting held December 5 new officers were elected as follows; president, Frank Grant; vice president, Mr. Elder; secretary, Chester A. Leinbach; sergeant at arms, Mr. Tritt.
REPORT OF THE QUILL CLUB
Mr. Chambers read "A Plot Study of Hamlet." His summary of Shakespeare's life and the probable motive of the play was logical and complete.
Miss Borland wrote of "The Women of the Canterbury Tales." One seldom finds a piece of criticism so readable as the one presented by Miss Borland whose paper was sympathetic without being narrow, historical and yet not pedantic.
Miss Pendleton's paper was on 'Shakespeare's Prose' and proved to be so enjoyable that it was subjected to no unfavorable comments. The style was so pleasing, it would not require a lower of Shakespeare to appreciate Miss Pendleton's treatment of his prose.

The WEEKLY wishes its readers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
TWICE A YEAR, at the close of the first and second semesters, an election is held by the share holders in the KANSAS UNIVERSITY WEEKLY who are active students at the university. At this election the editor-in-chief, the business manager, and eight members of the board are elected. There are sixteen members on the board. At each election the past editor-in-chief, business manager, and eight members of the board retire in favor of the new officers. From the sixteen members on the board, two associate editors, the sporting, local, society and literary editors are appointed. This constitutes the executive board.
The KANSAS UNIVERSITY WEEKLY is, in a way, a political paper. The elections are controlled by politics, and the supreme end in nominating the candidates for office is a political end. Certain factions nominate certain men who are chosen either because honor is due them or because some honor is due the factions which they represent. Little or no serious thought is given to whether or no the candidates are even anxious or capable of filling their positions should they be elected. Sometimes a faction will have a certain man whom they suspect of having some 'literary ability' and whom they think would make a good editor-in-chief. He is nominated and, possibly, elected. A business manager is not so hard to find. The financial end of the entire paper belongs to him. He stands the losses, should there be any; he takes the profits, if there are any. The editor-in-chief gets-anything. He has the honor of being editor-in-chief.
Under such conditions, the editor, should he accidentally have the interests of the paper at heart, is greatly handicapped. On account of self preservation, the business manager is obliged to make the paper pay. He sells advertising space in almost any part of the paper the advertiser demands. And advertisers are lacking in scruples. As a rule the business manager sells all the advertising space he can and then asks the editor to fill the remaining space as rapidly and as gracefully as he can. Most editors feel and rather enjoy a sense of responsibility, and give considerable time and thought to the editorial page. It is well to
state this, lest it might not be realized otherwise. After the editor has ground out two or three editorials, he locates the various sub-editors and members of the board and begs them to come to his rescue and to save the paper. Possibly the sympathy of one or two tender hearted members of the board is awakened, and they promise to help him out. Their help generally rests in their promises. But then they are not fully to blame; they get nothing out of it—their names will be printed among the executive board just the same. Saturday night finds the business manager and editor-in-chief and possibly a friend, filling up space in the paper. Sunday morning the illustrious KANSAS UNIVERSITY WEEKLY is in circulation, and the business manager, the editor-in-chief and the printer are at home in bed, thanking their stars that the paper has been printed and is no worse than it is—possibly it could not be. Such are the conditions under which the paper has been published for too long a time, and such were the conditions when the present editor-in-chief came into office.
There are a great many people who criticise the WEEKLY and who have expressed a desire to see a more respectable paper at the University. The present editor-in-chief is one of them. He blushes for the paper regularly once a week. His only consolation is in thinking that if those who criticise the paper had to run it under the adverse conditions they would join with the business manager and editor in thankning their stars that the paper is no worse. This article is written for those who criticise
When the present editor stepped into office, he had made up his mind to try to reorganize the paper—to put it on a basis that would make it a better paper and worthy the name it bears—a paper that would keep abreast with the 'new university spirit.' He made known his intentions but was given such a rebuff by those who insisted that the Kansas University Weekly could never be controlled by any thing but politics, that he peacefully retired thinking that it was hard enough as it was to get out the paper, let alone bringing about a reorganization. Two board meetings were called. At the first there were seven present; at the second there were four. Assignments were made for the different fields to be covered for the following week. At the end of the week one assignment was heard from, and that was in the form of notes to be 'written up' by the editor. There have been no board meetings since then. What is the use? The editor's time is limited—he has none to waste. And besides, their is a chair of journalism at the University of Kansas. Why not have the embryotic journalists exercise their ability on the paper? The editor is grateful for this opportunity to thank Professor Hopkins both for his valuable assistance and the interest he has taken in the paper. The editor also wishes to thank the class in journalism for the service they have rendered him;
and in particular he wishes to thank Ralph Ellis and Ray Clifford. And while boquets are being distributed, the editor wishes to thank Charlie Lovelace, Ray Barton, Will Shaw and Mary Lane Johnson for the work they have done on the paper.
During the present administration the WEEKLY has endeavored to make itself of interest to the students and to all concerned. It has undertaken to keep abreast and to voice the 'new university spirit.' It has striven to observe proportion and form in its columns. It has tried to keep advertisements off the first page. It has tried to be student-like and dignified. It has tried to be serious and light-hearted. It introduced a department labeled 'Smile!' The editor thought that if such a department was introduced it might inspire the minds of the University wits to produce and hand in original jokes. But alas, the editor has to resort to his scissors to bring forth jokes. He has been left to work out his problem-alone.
And so, gentle reader, be lenient-do not criticise too severely. And if you have any college spirit, blush with the present editor for being responsible for such a poor paper. Our University deserves a much better paper, and we are all to blame because it has not.
THE CHAIR of Journalism must also teach its students the science of making seven hours' sleep last for four days.
HERE ARE some very successful ways in which to kill a college paper:
$ \textcircled{1} $ Do not subscribe.
$ \textcircled{2} $ Look up the advertisements and trade with, the other fellow.
$ \textcircled{3} $ Never hand in a news item and criticise everything in the paper.
$ \textcircled{4} $ Tell your neighbor that you pay too much for your paper.
$ \textcircled{5} $ Don't be enterprising. You run the risk of making the paper a success.
THE KANSAS-MISSOURI game at Kansas City Thanksgiving day, ended one of the most peculiar foot ball seasons that K. U. has ever had. Never before has a K. U. team been the source of so many varied surprises to its supporters.
T
At the beginning of the foot ball practice, everything looked dark for K. U.'s success. Coach Weeks found only a limited number of green men ready for work. It seemed that Kansas had again arranged a schedule, the playing of which would result in a list of defeats. Only four of last year's team played in the first game with Emporia College, but the final score was more than gratifying to the Kansas foot ball enthusiasts. Students began to talk of further victories, of what had happened in '99, and to encourage them further. Upon the same day Hicks came back. The Manhattan game, though won by a large score, created no surprise. The K. U. supporters expected it. "Nothing can beat us," they said. "Our team is all right." And then the enthusiastic support from the student
body flagged in earnestness
The Emporia Normal game turned the feeling of confidence in the team to one of consternation. The game, tho' won, was won by such a narrow margin that the student body was dis heartened and began to predict future failures as generally as they had prophesied victory a few days before. The victory over Colorado again raised the hope of K. U., supporters to the highest pinnacle only to be dashed to the ground by the defeats from Haskell and Washburn. The Oklahoma and Nebraska games testified to the fact that our team could play championship foot ball. Then, finally came the Thanksgiving game, when Kansas expected to retrieve all former mustortunes by overwhelming Missouri. The outcome was anything but gratifying to K. U., for only the brilliant work of Pooler kept the score from being a tie.
The season as a whole has been more than successful, when the outlook at the beginning of the year is taken into consideration; but there has been something lacking throughout. Of course at the time of the initial game it was generally felt that we could not hope to win all the games, but the later development of the foot ball team seemed to offer greater hopes of success.
Perhaps the erratic work of the foot ball team was caused more by the fluctuating spirit of the student body than any other one in a game. As long as the team was victorious, the students were wild with enthusiasm, but when their opponents began to make gains over K. U., the cheering from the Kansas supporters greatly decreased or stopped entirely. In the last half of the Nebraska game, although the adherents of the red and blue outnumbered the Nebraskan delegation ten to one, the K. U. team received less support from the side lines than the Nebraska boys.
Again when the Kansans suffered defeat, it was easy for the students to blame individual players and criticise the coaching methods. That every man on the team could and did play ball has been plainly shown in many contests; and that the coaching was of the very first quality is evinced by its success over the long-victorious tactics of Conch Booth.
No foot ball team can achieve success without the earnest cooperation of the university students. As long as the team is a university team, there are almost no obstacles which cannot be surmounted; but where the foot ball team becomes a separate entity from the great body of students, when either loses confidence in the other or when that confidence is not continually strengthened and its necessity remembered, only failure can result.
It is not too early, now, to think of next season and its duties. The work in base ball and track athletics will soon begin. Let us get together; we all have the same end in view, all desire, only, that success may attend all athletic efforts at the university; that these in turn may contribute to the greater honor and glory of old K.U.

NATIONAL CRATORICAL ASSOCIATION
Kansas Makes Recommendations Which Are Embodied in the Resolutions Passed at the St. Louis Convention.
There was held in St. Louis, November 9, a conference of the representatives of the State Universities for the purpose of organizing an oratorical association, national in character, which should include only State Universities. And while there were but four Universities represented in this conference, telegrams and letters were received from several other State Institutions showing what seemed to be cordial support of the movement, Kansas was among the states not represented at this conference, but since the conference it has been decided that the University of Kansas should enter the association.
The delegates present at this convention unanimously adopted the following resolutions:
First. That we aim at the promotion of a General Oratorical League, to include as large a num ber as possible of the American State Universities, and to be composed of district leagues; the State Universities within each geography
J. A. B.
GEO. L. DAVIS.
President of Oratorical Association
ical district to hold an annual competition, and the victors in these district contests to meet in a national competition. Although important adjustments would be required and many hindrances might be encountered in an attempt to realize this project, we believe that the very magnitude of the ideal which involves the difficulties, involves corresponding advantages, and that by realizing this ideal not only oratory contests, but also the cultivation of oratory in American Universities, might gain a new prominence, importance, and worth.
THE NATURE OF THE ORATIONS.
(The second resolution sets forth the character of the oration, and it is seen that the old style memorized oration, with its studied gestures, is eliminated.)
Second. That, while we make these expressions, we are conceiving of the cultivation of oratory not as acquisition of arts of rhetoric and elocation alone, but rather as including also development of all the intellectual and personal powers required for the work of the public speaker in dealing with living problems; and that we propose a radical departure from the present method in oratorical contests and approve the plan suggested, in anticipation of this meeting, by Professor Edgar George Frazier, Head of the Department of Public Speaking, at the University of Kansas, in accordance with which, memorized declarations shall be replaced by the discussion of some question of great import, upon which the contestants shall have made thorough preparation; while the particular phase of the subject to which any one speaker in a contest must confine himself shall be unknown to him until the day of competition. We suggest that a list of subdivisions of the general question, shall be made known as soon as possible after the general question is proposed, and that each oration shall have for its subject
one of these subdivisions; and that lots for the assignment of particular subdivisions, of the general subject to particular men shall be drawn four honors before the beginning of the contest. By this plan each contestant would know the list of subdivisions during his period of preparation, but would not know which subdivision he would be called upon to discuss until the day of the contest.
ELIGIBILITY OF THE CONTESTANTS.
Third. Each University shall determine its own method of selecting its representative. Each contestant must be a bona fide, undergraduate, resident student at the institution he represents and must be pursuing studies that amount to at least ten hours a week in a course leading toward a Bachelor's degree and must have sustained that relation for at least three months immediately preceding the contest. A student who has won a place in a final contest shall never again compete in either district or final contest. The eligibility of each contestant must be certified to by the President of the institution which he represents.
THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL
Fourth. The time and place of each contest, the method of appointing judges, the distribution of expenses, the length of orations, the selection and subdivision of subjects, the provision of medals or the absence of them shall be decided and arranged by a Committee composed of one member elected by the faculty and one member elected by the student body of each competing Institution. This whole Committee shall act together in making the enumerated arrangements for the National Contest and it shall divide into a number of sub-committees corresponding to the number of sections in the league. These subcommittees shall make the enumerated arrangements for the district contests.
METHOD OF CHOOSING SUBJECTS,
RANKING.
Fifth. It is the judgment of those here assembled that the subject and subdivisions should be the same in the district contests as in the final competition; that each institution in the League should be invited to propose a subject; that all the subjects so proposed be submitted to each institution for an expression of preference and that the subject preferred by the largest number should be the one discussed; but that the list of subdivisions should be made out by a person or persons not connected with any of the institutions of the League; moreover, that the method of ranking should be by the numerals, one,two, three, etc. Only in case this method results in a tie,should the method of percentages be resorted to.
Sixth. We appoint as a committee, to correspond with other state universities in promotion of the plans herein formulated, Edward Cary Hayes, Ph.D., Professor of Economics and Sociology in Miami University, Edgar George Frazier, Ph.B., Professor of Public Speaking, University of Kansas, and Alexander St. Clair McKenzie, Professor of English in Kentucky State College.
COMMITTEE ON ORGANIZATION.
Seventh. That we approve of the suggestion of Professor Hayes to the effect that we seek the co-operation of the authorities of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company in promoting a contest between state universities to be as nearly national in character as possible, the finals to be held in St. Louis in connection with the World's Fair, and that we appoint Professor Hayes as our representative to negotiate with the World's Fair authorities.
fiction, visits were made to Hon. Walter B. Stevens, secretary of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company, and to several of the heads of executive departments, all of whom responded cordially to the proposition. Mr. Rogers, Commissioner of Education and Congresses, of whose department the proposed exercises would be a feature, gave permission to express the support of the World's Fair authority in as strong terms as might be chosen. In view of all consideration the 22nd of June was thought to be the most desirable date. The authorities of the World's Exposition also agreed to provide for the victor a trophy of such elegance as to comport with the dignified character of the competition.
In pursuance of the seventh reso-
The committee on organization is now corresponding with a view to choosing the general subject and making up the list of sub-topics; and it is believed that the committee will be ready to make its report on this matter either before the Christmas holiday or immediately after it.
THE DEBATING COUNCIL.
The Debating Council of the University of Kansas is an organization composed of two representatives from each of the six literary societies and three members of the faculty. It is the function of this Council to arrange all preliminary debates in the University and to attend to all matters connected with inter-state contests. At present debates are held with the Universities of Nebraska, Missouri and Colorado. The debates of last year were marked by Kansas gaining considerable of her lost prestige in the forum. The teams, considering the present system of supervision, were unusually good, winning six out of nine judges.
However, the feeling that the present method is decisively defective is growing. And it is highly probable that Kansas will see a revolution in the system the coming season. To remedy these defects the Debating Council is considering a new plan, the details of which will be known in a short time. The faculty members of the council are Professors Burdick, Frazier and Lawrence.
SIR WILLIAM H. DAVIS
S. E. BARTLETT, President of the Debating Council-
The council this year is gratified with its efforts. The progress in debate is not unlike a revolution. Two years ago here was no course offered in public speaking at the University. Last year two courses were offered. Today there are three. In previous years the successful contestants in cratery received cash prizes. Those who represented the University in debate received nothing. This year arrangements will be made to give the successful debaters some mark of honor,—an equivalent to the "Ks" given in athletics.

McLEAN MAY REMAIN PERMANENTLY
MEAN MAY REMAIN PERMANENTLY.
There is some probability that Coach McLean may be a permanent member of Missouri's faculty. He is considering a proposition to remain at Missouri University throughout the year, as coach in the fall and as trainer throughout the year. This probability will not happen this year, but there is a probability of his returning after that and becoming a permanent member of the athletic faculty. This is a piece of good fortune that Missouri scarcely dares to hope for, but it would be an event that the friends of Missouri would hail with pleasure. McLean has proven himself an excellent coach and trainer and a man that will advance clean athletics at Missouri—M. S. U. Independent.

IN SOCIETY.
--sites, keep the social ball whirling at a lively rate. The finesse required to properly distribute these favors is an excellent source of training for future politicians and social leaders. While there seems an apparent scattering of forces in the existence of so many well supported organizations, the result is to bring every man or girl, who does not absolutely refuse to be a "mixer," into touch with every phase of university life.
SOCIETY LIFE AT THE UNI VERSITY.
Practical fathers and mothers who have sent their children to the university to pursue undisturbed the course of higher knowledge are often son what perplexed at the devious ways through which his knowledge it attainedand when John makes his father a Christmas present of an unusually large livery bill, and Mary's letters home are filled with accounts of awfully good times at the So-AndSo's party or the What's-Their-Name's reception, the startled parents may wonder what livery bills have to do with calculus, or receptions and parties with the conjugation of French verbs, and perhaps they are to be pardoned if they finally come to the conclusion that at the university, society is a close rival to the pursuit of knowledge. A rival indeed, for the society life of the university is a unique and particularly interesting one. The social affairs are dexterously handled by the fraterrors, the Oread club, the county organizations, the eating clubs, the different classes, and the various schools. These numerous units, by exchange of courte-
You have found—so have we all—that brains have their place, but the fellow who is most sought after is he who is always in a good humor, who is sufficiently interested in himself to make sure he is at least acceptable to his fellow students, and who is not averse to fun. Mere intellectuality is a very frosty thing, and has a tenancy to cool the average good fellow into a social ice-berg. Of all the fascinations of our college life, the most exhilarating is the absolute freedom that we are, most of us, for the first time enjoying. We carry this freedom into our social affairs with a startling disregard for the conventions. The chaperone, that great pacification of the proprieties, is here almost unknown. To be sure,
on special occasions, the large spring parties or other formal functions, she is an essential and ostentatious, factor. At other times she is a myth.
The critical matron of the case would raise her hands in horror at the long moonlight drives in the spring-time, secret to two, at the twilight strolls across the golf links or out by the old windmill, at the picnics and trips up the river, where no critical "grown-up" intrudes. She would shudder at the thought of dances and dinners given at the fraternity houses, with no older person to grace the occasion, and at the sound of jolly girlish laughter from groups of girls hurrying along the streets after dark. Yet all these things we do and leave school all the better for the comfortable fellowships we have enjoyed, the men no whit the less manly, the girls no less modest and womanly for the experience of Western freedom. We do not question the value of this fun and easy social life of ours, for it is not the hours of close application to our books that we most often look back upon, but the many happy times we have had as students together. These are a storehouse of pleasant memories for many years to come.

The Thetas have their annual Christmas tree Wednesday evening. This is a time honored custom and one that is celebrated every year with a great deal of enjoyment to all of the guests who take part.

THE OREAD CLUB.
The organization gives dancing parties in Everett Hall once every month. These dances are informal and the guest list is made as representative as possible of University social circles. The members of the club hold a business meeting before each party and hand in the names of the guests whom they wish invited. If there is sufficient objection to any name it is dropped temporarily but may be handed in for a subsequent party. The invitation committee of the club then meets and completes the list of guests. The invitations are issued usually a week before the dance in order to give the committee ample time to fill the places of those guests who are obliged to send regrets.
The membership of the club con' sists of non fraternity young men, chosen from the various schools of the University. Their names are as follows: Karl E. Kilby, Orville Farquharson, Chet Smith, Earl Nelson, Chas, Van Fleet, Floyd Shank, Herman Cuby, John Smith, Vern Curl, Lawrence Brett, Frank Smith, Ray Barton, D. Stanley Adams, L.

In writing a review of the fall work at this time, it is necessary to make the review general. The work for the year began before the close of the term last spring. A twelve hundred edition hand-book was gotten out for free distribution to students. A card catalogue of rooms was arranged a week before the fall term opened, and was used to advantage by a number of students. The Employment Bureau grows in importance each year. The work this year is considerably larger than last, a larger number of permanent positions being secured for students. Many men were aided who could not otherwise stay in school.
Several Bible Study classes and one Mission Study class have been running this fall. Two religious meetings per week are held, one Thursday evening and one Sunday afternoon. The Thursday evening meeting is the devotional and regular business meeting of the association, and is held at the association house. Two receptions have been given jointly with the Y.W.C.A. at Snow Hall, and one reception was given to the new men at the house early in the year. The parrons of the house have been open at all times to students. The membership shows a substantial increase ever last year, and will be much larger before the year closes. A General Secretary, Mr. Petit of the University of California, is employed to devote his whole time to the work of the association.
The association as an organization stands not only for the mutual benefit of its members but also for helpfulness o every man in the University.

The Young Women's Christian Association is an organization with 160 members whose object is mutual helpfulness in attaining the highest ideal of Christian womanhood among the girls of the university. It stands for the broadest development possible, mental, social, spiritual and altruistic.

A Christmas Sermon.
BY ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON.
The idealism of serious people in this age of ours is of a noble character. It never seems to them that they have served enough; they have a fine impatience of their virtues. It were perhaps more modest to be singly thankful that we are no worse. It is not only our enemies those desperate characters; it is we ourselves who know not what we do: thence springs the glimmering hope that perhaps we do better than we think; that to scramble through this random business with hands reasonably clean, to have played the part of a man or woman with some reasonable fitness, to have often resisted the diabolic, and at the end to be still resisting it, is for the poor human soldier to have done right well. To ask to see some fruit of our endeavour is but a transcendental way of serving for reward; and what we take to be contempt of self is only greed of hire.
BY THE TIME this paper ap pears, I shall have been talking for twelve months; and it is thought I should take my leave in a formal and seasonable manner. Valedictory eloquence is rare, and death-bed sayings have not often hit the mark of the occasion. Charles Second, wit and sceptic, a man whose life had been one long lesson in human incredulity, an easy-going comrade, a manoeuvring king—remembered and embodied all his wit and scepticism along with more than his usual good humour in the famous "I am afraid, gentlemen, I am an unconscionable time a-dying."
An unconscionable time a dying — there is the picture "I am afraid, gentlemen," of your life and of mine. The sands run out, and the hours are "numbered and imputed," and the days go by; and when the last of these finds us, we have been a long time dying, and what else? The very length is something, if we reach that hour of separation undisonourned; and to have lived at all is doubtless (in the soldierly expression) to have served. There is a tale in Tacitus of how the veterans mutinied in the German wilderness; of how they mobbed Germaniens, clamouring to go home; and of how, seizing their general's hand, these old, war-worn exiles passed his finger along their toothless gums. *Sunt lacrymoe terum*: this was the most eloquent of the songs of Simeon. And when a man has lived to a fair age, he bears his marks of service. He may have never been remarked upon the breach at the head of the army; at least he shall have lost his teeth on the camp bread.
And again if we require so much of ourselves, shall we not require much of others? If we do not genially judge our own deficiencies, is it not to be feared we shall be even stern to the trespasses of others? And he who (looking back upon his own life) can see no more than that he has been unconscionably long a dying, will he not be tempted to think his neighbour unconscionably long of getting hanged? It is probable that nearly all who think of conduct at all, think of it too much; it is certain we all think too much of sln. We are not damned for doing wrong, but for not doing right; Christ would never hear of negative morality; thou shalt was ever his word, with which he superseded thou shalt not. To make our idea of morality centre on forbid, den acts is to defile the imagination and to introduce into our judgments of our fellow-men a secret element of gusto. If a thing is wrong for us, we should not dwell upon the thought of it; or we shall soon dwell upon it with inverted pleasure. If we cannot drive it from our minds—one thing of two; either our creed is in the
wrong and we must more indulgently remodel it; or else, if our morality be in the right, we are criminal latties and should place our persons in restraint. A mark of such unwholesomely divided minds is the passion for interference with others; the Fox without the Tail was of this breed, but had (if his biographer is to be trusted) a certain antique civility now out of date. A man may have a flaw, a weakness, that unfits him for the duties of life, that spoils his temper, that threatens his integrity; or that betrays him into cruelty. It has to be conquered; but it must never be suffered to engross his thoughts. The true duties lie all upon the farther side, and must be attended to with a whole mind so soon as this preliminary clearing of the decks has been effected. In order that he may be kind and honest, it may be needful he should become a total abstainer; let him become so then, and the next day let him forget the circumstance. Trying to be kind and honest will require all his thoughts; a mortified appetite is never a wise companion; in so far as he has had to mortify an appetite, he will still be the worse man; and of such an one a great deal of cheerfulness will be required in judging life, and a great deal of humility in judging others.
It may be argued again that dissatisfaction with our life's endeavour springs in some degree from dulness. We require higher tasks; because we do not recognise the height of those we have. Trying to be kind an honest seems an affair too simple and too inconsequential for gentlemen of our heroic mould; we had rather set ourselves to something bold, arduous and conclusive; we had rather found a schism or suppress a heresy, cut off a hand or mortify an appetite. But the task before us, which is to co-endure with our existence, is rather one of microscopie fineness, and the heroism required is that of patience. There is no cutting of the Gordian knots of life; each must be smilingly unravelled.
To be honest to be kind—to earn a little and to spend a little less, to make upon the whole a family happier for his presence, to renounce when that shall be necessary and not be embittered, to keep a few friends but these without capitation—above all, on the same grim condition, to keep friends with himself—here is a task for all that a man has of fortitude and delicacy. He has an ambitions soul who would ask more; he has a hopeful spirit who should look in such an enterprise to be successful. There is indeed one element in human destiny that not blindness itself can controvert: whatever else we are intended to do, we are not intended to succeed; failure is the fate allotted. It is so in every art and study; it is so above all in the continent art of living well. Here is a pleasant thought for the year's end or for the end of life; Only self-deception will be satisfied, and there need be no despair for the despairer.
But Christmas is not only the mile mark of another year, moving us to thoughts of self examination; it is a season, from all its associations, whether domestic or religious, suggesting thoughts of joy. A man dissatisfied with his endeavours is a man tempted to sadness. And in the midst of the winter, when his life runs lowest and he is reminded of the empty chairs of his beloved, it is well he should be condemned to this fashion of the smiling face. Noble disappointment, noble self denial are not to be admired, not even to be pardoned, if they bring bitterness. It is one thing to enter the kingdom of heaven main; another to maintain yourself and stay without. And the kingdom of heaven is of the childlike, of those who are easy to please' who love and who give pleasure. Mighty men of their hands, the smiters and the builders and the judges, have lived long and done sternly and yet preserved this lovely character; and among our carpet interests and twopenny concerns, the shame were indelible if we should lose it. Gentleness and cheerfulness, these come before all morality; they are the perfect duties. And it is the trouble with moral men that they have neither one nor other. It was the moral man, the Pharisee, whom Christ could not away with. If your morals make you dneary, depend upon it they are wrong. I do not say"give them up," for they may be all you have; but conceal them like a vice, lest they should spoil the lives of better and simpler people.
A strange temptation attends upon man: to keep his eye on pleasures, even when he will not share in them; to aim all his morals against them. This very year a lady (singular iconoclast!) proclaimed a crusade against dolls, and the racy sermon against lust is a feature of the age. I venture to call such moralists insincere. At any excess of perversion of a natural appetite, their lyre sounds of itself with relishing denunciation; but for all displays of the truly diabolic—envy, malice, the mean lie, the mean silence, the calumnious truth, the backbiter, the petty tyrant, the peeish poisoner of family life—their standard is quite different. These are wrong, they will admit, yet so show not so wrong; there is no zeal in their assault on them, no secret element of gusto warms up the sermon; it is for things not wrong in themselves that they reserve the choicest of their indignation. A man may naturally disclaim all moral kinship with the Reverend M. Zola or the hobgoblin old lady of the dolls; for these are gross and naked instances. And yet in each of us some similar element resides. The sight of a pleasure in which we cannot or else will not share moves us to a particular impatience. It may be because we are envious, or because we are sad, or because we dislike noise and romping—being so refined, or because—being so philosophic we have an overweighing sense of life's gravity: at least, as we go on in years, we are all tempted to frown upon our neighbour's pleasures. People are nowadays so fond of resting temptations; here is one to be resisted. They are fond of self-denial; here is a propensity that cannot be too peremptorily denied. There is an idea abroad among moral people that they should make their neighbours good. One person I have to make good myself. But my duty to my neighbour is much more nearly expressed by saying that I have to make him happy-if I may.
Happiness and goodness, according to canting moralists, stand in the relation of effect and cause. There was never anything less proved or less probable: our happiness is never in our own hands; we inherit our constitution; we stand buffet among friends and enemies; we may be so built as to feel a sneer or an aspersion with unusual keenness, and so circumstanced as to be unusually exposed to them; we may have nerves very sensitive to pain, and be afflicted with a disease very painful. Virtue will not help us, and it is not meant to help us. It is not even its own reward, except for the self-centered and I had almost said—the unamitable. No man can pacify his conscience; if quiet be what we want, he shall do better to let that organ perish from disuse. And to avoid the penalties of the law, and the minor capitis diminutio of social ostracism, is an affair of wisdom—of cunning if you will—and not sf virtue.
In his own life, then, a man is not to expect happiness, only to profit by it gladly when it shall arise; he is on duty here; he knows not how or why, and does not need to know; he knows not for what hire, and
must not ask. Somehow or other, though he does not know what goodness is, he must try to be good somehow or other though he cannot tell what will do it, he must try to give happiness to others. And no doubt there comes in here a frequent clash of duties. How far is he to make his neighbour happy? How far must he respect that smiling face, so easy to cloud, so hard to brighten again? And how far, on the other side, is he bound to be his brother's keeper and the prophet of his own morality? How far must he resent evil?
The difficulty is that we have little guidance; Christ's sayings on the point being hard to reconcile with each other, and (the most of them) hard to accept. But the truth of his teaching would seem to be this; in our own person and fortune, we should be ready to accept and to pardon all; it is our cheek we are to turn, our cout that we are to give away to the man who has taken our cloak. But when another's face is buffeted, perhaps a little of the lion will become us best. That we are to suffer others to be injured, and stand by, is not conceivable and surely not desirable. Revenge, says Bacon, is a kind of wild justice; its judgments at least are delivered by an insane judge; and in our own quarrel we can see nothing truly and do nothing wisely. But in the quarrel of our neighbour, let us be more bold. One person's happiness is as sacred as another's; when we cannot defend both, let us defend one with a stout heart. It is only in so far as we are doing this, that we have any right to interfere; the defence of B is our only ground of action against A. A has as good a right to go to the devil, as we to go to glory; and neither knows what he does.
The truth is that all these interventions and militant mongerings of moral half-truths, though they be sometimes needful, though they are often enjoyable, do yet belong to an inferior grade of duties. Ill-temper and envy and revenge find here arsenal of pious disguises; this is the playground of inverted lusts. With a little more patience and a little less temper, a gentler and wiser method might be found in almost every case; and the knot that we cut by some fine heady quarrel-scene in private life, or, in public affairs, by some denunciatory act against what we are pleased to call our neighbour's vices, might yet have been unwoven by the hand of sympathy.
To look back upon the past year and see how little we have striven

and to what small purpose; and how often we have been cowardly and hung back, or temerarious and rushed unwisely in; and how every day and all day long we have transgressed the law of kindness;—it may seem a paradox, but in the bitterness of these discoveries, a certain consolation resides. Life is not designed to minister to a man's vanity. He goes upon his long business most of the time with a hanging head, and all the time like a blind child. Full of rewards and pleasures as it is—so that to see the day break or the moon rise, or to meet a friend, or to hear the dinner-call when he is hungry, fills him with surprising joys—this world is yet for him no abiding city. Friendships fall through, health fails, weariness assails him; year after year, he must thumb the highly varying record of his own weakness and folly. It is a friendly process of detachment. When the time comes that he should go, there need be few illusions left about himself. Here lies one who meant well, tried a little, failed much;—surely that may be his epitaph, of which he need not be ashamed. Nor will he complain at the summons which calls a defeated soldier from the field: defeated, ay, if he were Paul or Marcus Aurelius! but if there is still one inch of fight in his old spirit, undishonoured. The faith which sustained him in his life-long blindness and life-long disappointment will scarcce even be required in this last formality of laying down his arms. Give him a march with his old bones; there, out of the glorious sun-coloured earth, out of the day and the dust and the ecstacy—there goes another Faithful Failure!
From a recent book of verse, where there is more than one such beautiful and manly poem, I take this memorial piece; it says better than I can, what I love to think; let it be our parting word.
"A late dark tweitters from the quiet skies;
And from the west.
Where the sun, his day's work ended,
Lingers us in content.
There falls on the old, gray city
An influence humming and serene,
quiet."
"The smoke ascends
In a rose and golden haze. The spires
Shine, and are changed. In the valley
Shadows rise. The lark sings on the Sun,
Closing his beediction,
Stinks and darkens, dazzling air
Thrills with a sense of triumph night—
Night, with her train of stars
And her great gift of sleep.
"So be my passing!
My task, accomplished and the long day
done.
My wages taken, and in my heart
Some late lark singing,
Let me be gathered to the quiet west,
The sundown splendid and serene,
Death."

PHARMACY ALUMNI NOTES
we are nearing the end of the year, and this issue of the WEEKLY will be the last one of '03. We have decided to devote our
portion of space to matters or interest principally to Association members. The officers,who have carried on the work of the society, have been considerably handicapped on account of funds. Hence, an amendment was proposed, and carried-by a good majority-at the annual meeting of last spring, in consequence of which, we trust will add materially to our resources in the future.
We refer to the Constitution, Art. VIII.—Dues. "Dues shall consist (1) of a membership fee of $2.00 upon joining; and (2) of an annual fee of $1.00 payable January 1 to The Treasurer." The members will please take notice that the dues for 1904 will be $1.00 instead of 50e as heretofore. A statement of dues will be mailed to all paid up members and those who are in arrears for two years, on or before Jan. 1, 1904. Other K. U. Pharmacy graduates may become members at any time upon payment of $2.00.
We have enjoyed a prosperous year thus far and we wish to impress upon each member, that a kindly letter to the Corresponding Secretary, informing us of your welfare, changes, etc., is duly appreciated. A great deal depends upon the members of the Association as to whether our membership list for 1904 shall show as great an increase as for '03. Let us hear from you more frequently.

The UNIVERSITY of KANSAS
Head of the Educational System of the State.
The University of Kansas may properly be regarded as the upper grade of the splendid system of free education offered by the State of Kansas to all its children. Without examinations, other than those with which they finish their tour years' preparatory work, graduates of 150 Kansas high schools and academies step into the Freshman class. The relation between the University and the high schools has come to be regarded as organic, and while it necessitates mutual toleration and concessions, nevertheless, the University is enabled to maintain reasonably high standards and finds the friends of the Kansas high schools proud to assist in keeping the standard of the entire system well up toward the summit of possibility.
THE UNIVERSITY'S HIGH RANK
Quietly and unostentationously has the University grown, until forty years after its founding its greatness and far-reaching power are realized. Often hampered by inadequate legislative appropriations, yet fortunate in the men chosen to guide its destiny, the University of Kansas has made constant and consistent progress and now ranks among the best educational institutions of the United States. William Henry Jones, M. P., a member of the Mosely Commission of English educators who have been touring America for the purpose of investigating her educational institutions, places the University of Kansas in the list of the first ten universities of importance in this country. The list in order is as follows: Harvard, Cornell, Michigan, Wisconsin, California, Illinois, Nebraska, Minnesota, Kansas and Tennessee. When it is remembered that this noted educator places Kansas above such proud institutions as Yale, Princeton and Columbia, ranking it ninth of all Universities in America, the citizens of Kansas can well be proud of the institution they have built. To quote from Mr. Jones' report relative to western universities in general: "It is democracy—where merit alone counts. Its standing and scholarship is of the highest. Its spirit and purpose are as broad and inclusive as the universe. Unlike the older colleges of the East, it is not circumscribed and hampered by a conservative, classical curriculum, nor is it intimidated by its beneficiors as are some of the colleges founded by the predatory rich. It is the wholesome product of a commonwealth of three million people, sane, democratic, industrial and progressive, with ideals and unafraid of ideas. It responds to every need of humanity. It knits together the professions and labor. It makes the fine arts and the anvil one." Other visitors to the University, from Kansas as well as from the states both East and West, are usually surprised at the extent of the educational plant, no less than at the beauty and suitability of its surroundings. Undoubt,ully the location upon Mount
Oread cannot be surpassed among the college campuses of the world for its scenic beauty and for its moral and physical wholesomeness. The gentle slope of the hill insures a moderate amount of exercise for every student, while the free air and magnificent view of thirty miles in nearly all directions are a daily inspiration in themselves.
THE UNIVERSITY PLANT
Here by the munificence of the state and the benefactions of friends of education are located eleven buildings devoted to the purposes of the institution. Another building will be erected for the School of Law during the next fiscal year, $50,000 having been appropriated for the purpose. The present grounds, buildings and equipment of the University are valved at $1,300,- 000, making it the largest and best equipped institution of its grade in the entire Southwest. Its income is equivalent to five per cent on an endowment of $4,000,000.
THE STUDENT BODY
Its students are all of collegiate (not preparatory) grade. Its enrolment will reach 1400 during the present year. Fifty per cent of the students pay their own way. Seventy-five per cent pay either the whole or a substantial part of their expenses. It is safe to say that a similar number of young people could not be found associated anywhere else in the state, or out, of higher average character and better spirit. Visitors from other colleges, and our own students who attend other colleges, remark constantly on the wholesome tone of student life at the University of Kansas. Lawrence is a town without an open saloon or even a tolerated joint. It is conceded to be morally the cleanest town of its size in the state. Democracy and good fellowship is the rule among the students, and the relations between instructors and students are unusually free and wholesome.
THE FACULTY
All material equipment, however, is secondary to the character of the instructional body. The teaching force of the University of Kansas numbers 104. It includes a considerable number of scholars who are known as equals of the best in the United States, and several whose reputations are national. As compared with the faculty of an older eastern institution, a notable point is the low average age of the body. There are no pensioners and men who have outlived their usefulness. Members of the faculty have been selected primarily as teachers, but at the same time, with an eye to their promise as scholars and investigators. They are characterized, as real scholars are everywhere, by absence of pretence and a desire to be thoroughly useful to the students and the state. They teach more hours a week and receive less pay for the work than the instructors of any institution of similar grade in the country.
SCHOOLS AND DEPARTMENTS OF
INSTRUCTION
In the variety of technical and general courses in the various schools and departments of the university, the people of Kansas have at their disposal for the benefit of their children all that can be found in any of the other schools of the country beyond the Mississippi taken together. So far as the instruction of the University of Kansas pretends to reach it is not inferior to the best in the United States.
Graduates of other Western schools will find at the University of Kansas a school for graduates offering work in over 200 different post graduate courses, in twenty-six departments, under a faculty of thirty-three scholars and investigators.
The School of Arts (The College) has a teaching force of sixty-five-a greater number than the entire faculty of any other college in Kansas. It offers over three hundred courses including many courses in business in its higher relations in Journalism, Banking, Insurance, Mining, Manufacturing and Commerce. There are thirty-three departments.
der a faculty of twenty-nine members, offers one hundred courses in civil, electrical, mechanical, mining and chemical engineering. The Fowler shops contain $40,000 worth of apparatus and machinery. The Physics building contains $30,000 worth of apparatus for work in electrical engineering and Physics. The demand for graduates of this school is larger than the supply.
The School of Engineering un-
In the School of Law twenty-four different subjects are covered in a three years' course under ten instructors. It is the consensus of experience that modern law training to be effective must be given by teachers who devote their entire time to the subject.
In the School of Fine Arts under a teaching force of eighteen members, are offered fifty-six courses in Piano, Organ, Violin, Voice, Drawing, Painting and Elocution. This school has the largest and best facilities in the Southwest, including a $5,000 pipe organ.
Courses of two, three and four years are offered in the school of Pharmacy under a faculty of twenty-one members. The laboratories in Pharmacy and Chemistry are the largest and most complete in the Southwest.
A medical building newly fitted and laboratories enlarged is the home of the School of Medicine with a faculty of fourteen members. This school offers instruction in the first two years of a regular medical course.
The University now maintains a regular summer session. Sixty-five courses were offered by thirty-five instructors last summer. The success of the first session was so marked that the second session will be conducted on a much larger and more elaborate scale. The University expects to offer work during the spring term beginning about April 1, especially for teachers. This will give many persons who cannot spend the winter in college work the opportunity of beginning or completing work for a degree by taking the spring and summer work. The spring work will be so connected with the work of the summer session, as to give continuity to it all, and will greatly increase the number of credits teachers may receive without sacrificing their school work.
THE LIBRARY
The University Library, the common laboratory of the students and instructors of all departments contains 42,000 volumes and receives 580 periodicals and proceedings of learned societies annually. Seven thousand dollars are spent annually for new books. This furnishes a working college library without a peer in the state. The library is open the year around.
THE LABORATORIES
The laboratories of the various departments of physical and biological science are supplied with extensive equipment of modern apparatus, the total value approaching $125,000. It is not the custom of the University to announce the work of a department until it is decently prepared to accommodate students and it may go without further saying that every department has its well-provided laboratory. Notably complete is the equipment in electrical and mechanical engineering, and in chemistry. THE FUTURE OF THE UNIVERSITY
At present the buildings most needed are a gymnasium, which could also be used as an auditorium at commencement and other times, and a building for the School of Engineering, Kansas whose granaries can feed the world, whose banks are filled with the wealth of the people, can and will pursue a more liberal policy in dealing with her State University. In less than ten years two thousand students will crowd the halls of this University, and the faculty and equipment must be prepared for this increase. With over 2,000 graduates and 16,000 former students scattered throughout the state and elsewhere, the future of the University is safe. They are co-operating with the Regents and the Chancellor in plans for developing the University in lines hitherto closed, in strengthening the departments already established, in securing such an equipment that all the talent of the faculty can be used to its best advantage, and in a determination to serve the state by making her University the equal if not the peer of the greatest state Universities. The people of Kansas are coming to the belief that the University is their own institution, wortily crowning their educational system, and every loyal Kansan should bend his strongest energies until no township in this great commonwealth shall be so remote as to tail to receive some degree of inspiration to right thinking and right living from the far-reaching and ever-elevating influence of the University of Kansas.
The building has a tall tower with a clock face, and it is surrounded by trees. There is also a windmill in the foreground.
