YEAR'S OF THE
THAILAND
WORK Y.M.C.A.
The Practical and Religious Work of the Association Which Gives It a Place in the University.
BY E. B.BLACK.
This week a new Cabinet takes charge of the affairs of the Y. M. C. A. for the coming year and it is only proper that a report of the work for the year just passed should be given at this time.
The work of the retiring cabinet necessarily includes the completion of some of the plans of the cabinet that retired in April 1903. This is true on account of the fact that the change of officers occurs when the school year is only three-fourths over, and plans made for the whole year must be carried out.
On September first the work opened up in earnest. Mr. C. W. Petit, '03, of the University of California, had been called to the general secretarialship of the Association, and he, together with a few of the Association men who had come back before the school year began, started the active work of the fall campaign. After a canvas of the student section of town, a card catalogue of rooming places was made and kept at the house for the use of students. The employment bureau work was also taken up early in the year and a thorough canvas was made of the city for places where men could work and carry their University course at the same time. Few persons, either students or those who secure student help, realize the importance of this phase of Association work: perhaps no one ever fully appreciates it except the man who comes to town with a few dollars and the determination to stay a year at the University.
The parlors at the house, with the games,reading material, etc., were put to good use by men who found the week between their arrival and the opening of the University a rather tiresome period.
to the general student body.
About eleven hundred copies of the Hand Book,published each year by the Association were distributed at the first of the year.
The Association parlors hvae been open to the men at all times during the year, and in addition to this several receptions have been given for the men alone. Aside from these, joint reception with the Y. W. C.A.have been given both at the house and in Snow Hall. Two of the receptions at Snow Hall are annual affairs, and all of them are a source of enjoyment
The regular Bible and Missionary courses have been running all year. We owe much to Mr. and Mrs. Payne for their interest in these classes and for the amount of time they have taken from their own work with the University Bible Chair to devote to ours. Mrs. Payne has had charge of the Mission class in Beach's "Dawn on the Hills of 'Tang;'" when this book was finished the class began the study of the lives of pioneer missionaries.
Two meetings per week have been held during the year, the Thurs lay evening meeting is the regular business meeting of the Association and is intended especially for Association men. Our Sunday meetings this year have been addressed by members of the faculty and prominent business men of the city as well as by the pastors of the various churches. We were very fortunate in having E. T. Colton of the International Committee with us in February for three meetings, open to all men of the University. Mr. Colton's visit did much to strengthen our work here and to mark out more definitely the general plans of the Association.
Through the efforts of Mr. J. H. Burress, Mr. F. V. Steele, director of the Schubert Club of Kansas City, Mo., was secured to present the program at the Annual Y. M. C. A. Concert in January. This was one of the most successful concerts we have ever given.
The work of the Association for the year compares favorably with regard to numbers and results with the work of the past few years. The work undertaken was perhaps greater than that of any previous year, our budget amounting to $1300.00. The success of the year's work is due to the generous and loyal support of the faculty, students, alumni and friends of the University.
Today the K. U. baseball team plays Haskell on McCook field. The K. U. team will be selected from the following men: Royer, C. Morgan, Allen, Henry, Wilson, Woodford, Dean, Diesem, D. Morgan, Sexton, Gillett and Brown.

ATHLETICS.
K. U. Starts Base Ball Season by Tak ing First Game From Haskell— Success of Inter-Colastic
Meet Assured.
The first scheduled game for the University base ball team was played Saturday, April 2, with the Haskell Indians and resulted in a victory for Kansas by a score of 7 to 3.
The game was not an errorless one by either team but for the first game of the season was as much as could be expected.
The game to be played with the Emporia Normal at Emporia Thursday, was called off on account of rain.
The Inter-Scholastic Track Meet to be held on McCook Field April 29th is progressing faster than was expected.
Seven high schools have already expressed their desire to enter this contest; the Central and Manual Schools of Kansas City, Mo., the Kansas City, Kansas, High School, and the high schools of Lawrence, Beloit, Carbondale, and Ft. Scott.
This is one of the modes chosen by Chancellor Strong for the advancement of athletics and also of bringing the high schools throughout the state into closer touch with the University, and should receive the support of every student and instructor on the hill, because this will certainly be of benefit to the University.
The State Inter-Collegiate Track Meet will be held here April 23d.
The track men are out every night possible and are getting into good shape, being very much encouraged over the outcome of the in-door meet with Missouri.
The date for the Missouri field meet has not been definitely set.
Colorado University has been trying to get a date with K. U. for a track meet out there but it has not yet been decided wheth they will be given one or not.
There is a movement on foot by the Universities of Kansas and Missouri, Kansas City Athletic Club and the Kansas City Y. M. C. A. to get an amateur athletic field in Kansas City.
The proposed site lies north of 47th street and between Harrison and Campbell. This is a very suitable tract of land for an athletic field, being nearly level and large enough for all purposes of an amateur athletic field, and most of all can be purchased for a very reasonable sum.
The different institutionsentering into this movement are on the most friendly terms and as they have several meets in Kansas City each year it will be a money-saving proposition for them, as the per cent charged for the use of the athletic parks there is excessively high.

THE PLACE OF THE Y. M.C.A.IN THE UNIVERSITY.
A University Affair and on a Par With Other Student Activities.
A state university, because of the method of its support, cannot include in its course of study normal religious instruction. Every state university, however, fully appreciates the importance of the religious instruction of boys and girls. State universities also believe very strongly that in them should be full opportunity for development of the religious side of students. This opportunity must come through the voluntary association of students for that purpose. Compulsion is fatal to true religious thought and life, and upon the basis of freedom and voluntary association state universities have developed a type of religious life which is strong and pure and wholesome. In fact it is a question whether there is not developed in them a stronger and more viril type of christian men and women than in other institutions.
The University of Kansas, both as regards its teaching force and its student body, believes in this voluntary development of the religious life. It is the attitude of the administration that it is not the function of the university as a state institution to seek in a formal manner to change the religious or political views of students who come to it; that they should be accepted as they are, and given every opportunity and encouragement to develop their religious life on the basis of their home teaching. It also believes that it can well be left to the voluntary student organizations to encourage such students as have not been interested, to take a decisive stand in religious life.
The most important student agency for the religious life of men is the Y. M. C. A., which stands for the evangelical type of religious work to which either actively or by association the great majority of the students of the University are most closely allied. The whole atmosphere of the University is friendly to a religious association of whatever type it may be. I would mention three functions of a university Y. M. C. A. The first is to deepen the religious life with which students may come to the University and to interest such others as have had no specific religious experience. On this I have already spoken with some detail. Second, the Y. M. C. A. may act as a sort of club house and center of social life for many students who for vaious reasons not at all prejudicial to them do not enter social organizations. Third, the Y. M. C. A. acts as an employment bureau and performs a function of great value to many Continued on page6.
The Association From the Alumni's View Point.
Time is a great revealer. The vantage ground of the alumnus is higher than that of the undergraduate, and as he looks on his course he is able to discriminate between that which has been helpful to him and that which has been of little use. Many a man has regretted that he spent so much of his time in athletics, class politics, or society, but the man is not to be found who regrets the time he gave to the Association work.
Is the Young Men's Christian Association as it exists today a valuable auxiliary of Kansas University? Cannot the time, labor and money that are put into the Association each year be invested to a better advantage? Is the Association worth its cost? It the Association did no other work than that which is connected with the opening of the school year, the welcoming of new students, helping them find homes and employment, and assisting them in registration, it would be worth all its costs.
The University attends to the mental and physical needs of her students in a way that cannot but be commended, but she has no opportunity to help these same students solve the greatest problem of life. That problem is more difficult than can be found in the books taught by Professors Miller and Newson; it is found in the "Book of books" and was propounded by the Saviour of men. "What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul; or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"
The chief aim of the Association, and that to which all other
work, Bible Study, Mission Study, Prayer Meeting, Employment Bureau, Social Work, is subordinated, is the making plain the wav of salvation, and helping men to solve life's greatest problem.
Will Kansas University continue to be considered a safe place for Kansas youths? Will she continue sending forth Christian men? She will if the Association continues to grow and advance with the other departments.
Fellow Alumni, what greater work for our Alma Mater can we do than to assist by our means and our prayers this most worthy of organizations—the Young Men's Christian Association.
FRANK H. SMITH,'02. Evanston, Ill.
Kansas University is seeding the slate with wheat and tares. When a student myself we Y. M. C. A. boys could estimate very closely what manner of students the various Kansas towns would send to the University by looking up the moral record of students we had sent out. It is emphatically true that "Whatsoever a University soweth that shall it also reap."
Yours truly,
WM. C. FOGLE.
I am in hearty sympathy with the work of the Young Men's Christian Association and believe that it works toward the moral upbuilding of young men. You have my best wishes for the success of the work.

THE WOMEN'S WORK.
The Organization Stands for the Best Things in College Life, and is Doing a Much Appreciated Work for the Women Students.
BY FLORENCE FOREST, '04.
The Young Women's Christian Association of Kansas University was organized under its present constitution, Oct.28,'92 Miss Laura Radford, now in India, was the first president. There were thirty members that year.
Such was the beginning. Today the Association has an active membership of 175 and an honorary membership of 30. There were four committees then, there are eight now. The budget for that year was not over $25. This year's budget is $725.
This growth and development is the result of prayer, a careful study of conditions, and a consecrated desire to help others. "Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts." In his strength the Association has grown to be a great and constant factor in the religious life of Kansas University.
As at its organization, the Association stands for the fullest development of Christian womanhood. It stands for a rich, full spiritual life among the
girls of Kansas University. It stands for applied Christianity; the word of encouragement to the girl who is "blue", a cheery visit to the sick, a cordial interest in the homesick girl. And it stands for united effort in doing the Master's work while it is day. During the past year, the work of the Association has been constant and varied. There are eight committees, each responsible for one line of effort.
The Devotional Committee have secured for the Wednesday meetings, such leaders as Engineer McClure, Mr. Titus, Mrs. Winfield Freeman, Mrs Marvin and Mrs. Strong. The average attendance at the midweek meetings is fifty.
the mountain whites of this country, Mrs. Payne talked, and the Mission Sunday classes conducted a meeting on the subject "Women of the Orient."
Once a month the Missionary Committee take charge of the Wednesday meeting. During the year Miss McGavran of India spoke on Zanana work, Mrs. Roberts told of the work among
The Bible Study Committee have arranged for 8 Bible classes and have enrolled 115 girls in these classes.
The Membership Committee is always at work, trying to present in an effective way, the helpfulness that membership in the Association means.
At Christmas, the Philanthropic Committee collected a box of toys to be sent to the children of flood sufferers. At present this Committee is sending helpers to the Industrial School carried on by the Associated Charities.
The Social Committee have given several bright and helpfull affairs. In connection with the V. M. C. A. Social Committee our girls arranged and carried out three very enjoyable parries given at Snow Hall. The Girl's Teas have been very jolly and well attended.
The Intercollegiate Committee are the newspaper reporters and also the exchange editors for items of interest about other Associations.
The Finance Committee are the business managers. They are trying to extend the feature of systematic giving until all our expenses will be met by the consecrated offerings of cheerful givers.
This in brief is the work being done by the Association girls. But there is other work being done and other workers to do it. The Advisory Board, composed of six Faculty ladies and three Lawrence women, help the cabinet in making and carrying out their plans. They take great interest in the work and the members of the Association, and are doing much to enlarge our field of action.
The General Secretary, Miss Weiss, is probably the busiest and hardest worker. Together with the Cabinet, she plans all the work and uses her time as the Cabinet directs. On Sundays she goes to Haskell Institute to serve the Association there.
Such is the aim and such the organization and methods of the Y.W.C.A. of Kansas University.
Through Miss Paxson's visit many girls are living a deeper and happier Christian life, and are making the Association the strong, helpful, spiritual agent it wants to be among the girls of this University.
On next Sunday afternoon the officers of the Association for the ensuing year will be installed. This is an important service and every man who can should be present.

Historical Sketch of Its Beginning and the Present Standing.
FOR ICE CREAM AND CANDY GO TO
For thirty years after Congress set aside the land for University support, the growth of the University was exceedingly slow.
The idea of a University for the State of Kansas dates back to the year the state was admitted to the Union. In that year Congress took the first substantial steps looking to the establishment of a University by setting aside seventy-two sections of land in Kansas, the same to be turned into an endowment fund. Recently the last of this land was sold and the University finds itself in possession of a permanent endowment of $151,000, which yields an annual income of about $7,500.
ture of the state, but through the generosity of friends coupled with state appropriation, the material equipment of the University has been increased until now it is valued at $1,000,000. From little old North College the University has grown, through much adversity until now it has eleven magnificent buildings, a faculty of one hundred and five members, a student body of over thirteen hundred, and ranks as one of the first ten universities in America, with an income equivalent to five per cent on an endowment of $4,000,000.
In the variety of technical and general courses in the various schools and departments of the

in fact, until 1894 the material equipment of the University consisted of but four buildings. Up to this time the state had looked upon the University as belonging to Lawrence, and for that reason it received indifferent support. In all these years, however, through the guidance of wise and able minds, the University was slowly but firmly establishing its place in the educational world. From 1894 dates a more rapid increase in material equipment, not all, to be sure, by appropriation from the state treasury by the legisla-

all characterized as real scholars are everywhere, by absence of pretense and a desire to be thoroughly useful to the students and the state; a large number of working labo atories supplied with all the approved and up to date equipments usually found in institutions of much greater age and endowment; a library of 42,000 volumes, the common laboratory of all the students and instructors, without a peer in the Middle West.

"It is democracy—where merit alone counts. Its standing and scholarship are 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 benefactors 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 not afraid 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."

Among the institutions where successful Bible classes have been organized in traternities are the following, Amherst, McGill, Cornell, Toronto, Stanford, DePuw, Denison, Boston university, Wesleyan university, Albion college and the university of Michigan.
Cornell will give a formal banquet to her debating teams this year, in order to create interest in literary work. Heretofore all attentions have been showered on athletic teams. The athlete it seems, has become too much "the man" in college circles, and the debater is now to be brought to the front.
Association work is getting a strong hold on the school life in

In a recent published article on college advantages, Dr. John Huston Finley, president of the college of the City of New York, said that "The college man has many more chances of succeeding in life than the man without a college training. Dr. Finley gathered his statistics from two leading biographical works. He found that one out of every forty college men succeeded in life, while only one non-college man out of ten thousand succeeded. Thus the college man's chances are 250 times greater than those of the non-college man. More than a third of the 15,000 names in one of the biographical works were college men, while 50 per cent of the 11,000 names in the other biography were college men.

OF ALL the organizations and societies in the University, the one which does the most good among the students, which exerts the widest influence outside the University; and which assists the student most after he has left school is the University V. M. C. A. Modest and unassuming in its work, this society of young University men assists more students in obtaining work than all other University agencies combined. No man this year has gone to them for assistance and been turned away disappointed.
And this assistance to poor students is only one phase of the activity of the society. It is Y. M.C.A. committees that meet all the trains just prior to the beginning of school; they provide the new student with information regarding eating clubs, rooming places and supply him with the Y.M.C.A. hand book which informs him of all the requisites for registering, describes all the places of interest about the city and furnishes him with a directory of all university officials.
It is the Y. M. C. A. boys who take the homesick freshman and amuse him while he is still a stranger and before he has found his niche in university life; they advise him regarding courses; look after his physical comforts; and see that he is placed amidst the proper moral surroundings. Nor does the interest which the association takes in the freshman close when he is well started in his university work. Receptions are given to the students; lectures are provided for them, and above all, classes are organized for Bible study.
These Bible classes have gradually grown in importance and usefulness until now they exert a great influence for a higher moral life and deeper living upon the students of K. U.
The Y. M. C. A. man is always a firm supporter of University affairs; whether it be athletics, debate, oratory or musical entertainments, he is always present with his assistance.
Such organizations are integral factors in every up-to-date educational institution. They are a part of the true university life and it is the earnest wish of the Weekly to see the Y. M. C. A. continue to grow in the future as it has in the past, and to hope that its great work will be even
more fully appreciated by the students in the times to come than it is today.
THE CONFERENCE of principals of accredited preparatory schools for the university and of city superintendents which will be held at Lawrence on April 15 and 16, is an innovation which should prove productive of a great deal of good both for the University and the high schools and academies of the state. At present there is too little connection between the university and the schools from which it draws its students This was recognized last year when they decide to have a regular high school visitor who should inspect the schools in the interest of the University and it is largely through the efforts of Prof. Johnson that the conference has been arranged. Invitations are being sent out to all teachers in the state who are interested in improving the preparatory schools.
These conferences are to be made annual affairs. At each one some prominent educator will deliver an address upon some special topic and will give valuable suggestions for the teaching of the branch in the high schools. The past few years have witnessed a great improvement in the high schools of the state but there is still plenty of room for more. The university, as it grows in size and importance, must advance the entrance requirements and the high schools must make a corresponding improvement in the courses offered. A few years ago the vast majority of high schools only offered a three years' course and some gave only two years but now almost all the high schools in the towns of any size give four year courses.
Every year there are many examples of students entering the university with insufficient high school training. Such students cannot keep up with the class work, and more than that they keep the classes into which they are enrolled back in the work. The result is that there is a very large per cent of "mortality" in the term quizzes in the freshman classes especially, and many students are discouraged and decide to leave the university simply because they have not been thoroughly prepared to take the higher work. It is as easy for a high school student to get a thorough preparatory course as it is to skim through in preparation and if it were thorough in every case there would be a better standard at the university and a correspondingly more thoroughly equipped class of graduates turned out upon the world.
Some may think that the high schools were not founded simply to furnish material for the university but to educate the youths of the county or city at the expense of the citizens. There are some also who think that the people who pay the taxes to run high schools should have the selection of the courses and the direction of the schools. This is true. But anything that makes a school more thorough and elevates the standard of its work
accomplishes a great deal of good for the school and should be thankfully received even if it does come from the university. The educational system of the state needs organization. All its departments should work in concert and we believe that the conference of principals and superintendents will be a great aid in this direction.
IT IS SCARCELY twelve years since the organization of the Young Woman's Christian Association at K. U. yet it has already become a necessary adjunct to the University. The work accomplished by this association of young women can scarcely be overestimated. It is not bounded by the University but extends beyond as well. Many a child of the "patch" in Kansas City has been made happier through the efforts of these girls.
As to the University work, it is a part of nearly all the girl students' University life. The ladies of the faculty and of the city also take a keen interest in the college Y.W.C.A. and greatly assist the girls in their efforts.
Perhaps no similar organization in any college is in closer touch with the great work in the outside world than the K. U. Y.W.C.A. From their ranks have gone out workers to almost every field of christian action and into all parts of the world.
The organization has now so permeated the life and affairs of the University that it has become more than a mere agency for good—it has become a necessity to Kansas University.
THE TIME has at last arrived when Spring athletics have begun in earnest and every day McCook field is the training ground for the base ball and track squads. Although the early outlook for spring athletics was disappointing to a great part of the student body, recent developments indicate that K.U. will be the usual hard proposition for her college opponents.
Coaches Durham and Moulton in their respective positions are fast rounding their men into better form and the Kansas teams with a little more work need fear no comers—nor do they. That's part of the K. U. student. He's not going to be alarmed at anything that he is scheduled to meet.
Especially this spring it is hoped and all indications point to the fulfillment of this hope, that our university athletics are going to be supported better than ever. This expectation of unswerving support and assistance on the part of the student body is the agency that is putting ginger into the boys and bringing out their best efforts.
The Weekly desires to see this University spirit increase until the institution is permeated with it and our University athletic teams will be so intent upon winning more honors for old K.U. that they will forget everything except that they must do the best that's in them.
DURING the Spring vacation K. U. students have been engaged in almost every conceivable pursuit except "book larnin." Some have been beautifying lawns, some have devoted their leisure hours hunting the teal and canvas-back; while others have spent the evening hours in snaring the wary snipe along the bottoms of the classic Kaw.
And this is as it should be. The student who has put his University work entirely out mind during the few days vacation is now prepared to enter into his work for the final half term with renewed energy and determination And in spite of spring fever, beautiful moonlight nights and spring athletics, this last half term should be the most valuable to the student of any during the year.
IS AT LAST certain that gentle spring has reached as. Not only has the robin laid aside his chest protector and felt boots, and the senior engineers begun to spin tops, but the athletic board has started to placing base ball players on the ineligible list.

LAKE GENEVA CONFERENCE.
Four Hundred and Twenty Students Gather From One Hundred and Fifty Institutions.
BY W. C. PAYNE.
The greatness, variety and character of the work of the Y. M.C.A. win increasing respect for the men who are back of it and the motives that actuate them. Their training schools for workers are an essential part of the movement. Among these schools by no means the least important are the student conferences, six of which were held last year. In these conferences four hundred and fifty-nine different institutions were represented, with an attendance of seventeen hundred and ten men.
The purpose of these training schools is to fit men for Christian leadership in the colleges and universities of North America, and to point the way to decision for Christian work in the great home and foreign fields.
The scope of the work includes preparation for advancing Bible Study which is the heart of the growing effectiveness of the Student Young Men's Christian Association; there is also compre-
nature has done her best to make herself fair for man and has succeeded. Besides, it is near enough to be easily accessible, yet sufficiently remote to escape the disturbing influences of ordinary business and social occupations. As the shadows lengthen across the water one takes boat across the quiet lake and in hall an hour lands to find himself greeted cordially and immediately made at home. He is here to spend ten days with nature in her simple varied moods and to seek from God a fuller fellowship in knowledge and in life. The air rests and inspires. The intellectual and spiritual atmosphere, like that of the woods and waters, calls forth the best that is in man. Here youth and years mingle. A common purpose blesses all and prepares for the largest fruitage in these days of tarrying and for the truest use fulness in the coming service to which each student is pledged.

The effort is made to put Christ's Spirit upon the men; to furnish them with a knowledge of His will and to speed them in special service. Of these half dozen conferences that known as the Geneva conference is one of the most notable and is particularly important to the student body of Kansas University because it is one of the institutions there yearly represented by one or more men.
Last June on the shores of Luke Geneva, Wisconsin, this College Summer School of the Great Middle West convened. One hundred and fifty colleges and universities furnished four hum-

dried and twenty-three students from twelve different states. These students were picked men chosen because of their qualifications and their interest in the promotion of Christian work and most of them were leaders in their various schools.
Recreation.
Lake Geneva is a spot where
convenience is provided for this rational enjoyment and growth.
There are regular hours of retiring and rising. The time and work are so arranged that there are no conflicts, no waste of energy, no aimlessness. Every thing is so planned as to converge upon fitness and usefulness Quietly in the early morning here and there among the white tents, or along the wood-paths winding by the lapping waters or in the deeper recesses of the forest is seen the silent student. God is about him. The Book is open before him. He hears God speak to him as he reads. He talks with God. It is the Morning Watch.
The bell calls to the breaking of fast and as they gather they "know not that their faces shine" At eight o'clock the various Missionary conferences and the normal Mission study class meet for an hour. At nine the study of the Bible and me theodis of personal work occupy the students Some are preparing to teach the Life of Christ; another group, the Acts and Epistles; a third the great character of the Old Testament; another the teaching Jesus. At ten the problems and methods of Association work are discussed and at eleven the vital themes of the Gospel are forcefully handled.
The afternoons are given up to recreation and athletics. Base ball, track, tennis and water
sports afford variety suited to all. Row boats free of charge are for those who wish to use them. The athletic contests between colleges and states, wherein picked men from home teams struggle for the mastery, leave nothing to be desired.
For an hour after supper the delegations and states rally their forces, consider their peculiar problems, discover the progress each man is making and

prepare to use more carefully the shortening time. In a way the great gathering of the day is the Life-Work meeting on the Lake front. As the sun goes down they assemble among the trees canopied by the thickening shadows and wait the message of the world's needs. Some man who has come close to the world and felt the bitterness of sin and I seen it in its terrible forms in others, paints the picture. Of him it might be said as of a greater one, "Every word that he speaks has been fiercely furnaced in the blast of a soul that has struggled in earnest." In these evening hours souls see God and the world in need and their own duty as never before, and are born anew.

young people's Christian organizations. Among several of these which have become world-wide, probably the one of the greatest strategic importance is the World's Christian Student Federation.
Founded in 1895, by representatives of the Christian student movements chiefly Young Men's Christian Associations of five countries, it has grown so rapidly that it now has affiliated with eleven national or international movements, representing twenty-four countries, and having a membership of over 75.000 students and professors. Its representative character may be inferred from the fact that an American, an Englishman, a Swede and a Japanese work together as its general officers. Two members from enab federated movement constitute its executive committee. Young men's and young women's associations have equal rights in the Federation, although the young

Such men become the association at home and the entire University is the richer. No man should plan his summer without taking into account the Geneva conference and its relation to himself and his University.
men's associations are in the majority, partly because several countries do not yet admit women into full standing in their colleges. Neither race nor denomination is considered in its membership, for its only require ment is that all members be in harmony with the purpose of the organization; - "To unite students' Christian movements throughout the world; to collect information regarding the religious condition of the students of all lands; and to promote the following
lines of activity—to lead students to become disciples of Jesus Christ as an only Savior and as God, to deepen the spiritual life of students, and to enlist students in the work of extending the kingdom of Christ throughout the whole world."
This last object is being attained chiefly by means of the Student Volunteer Movement, whose watchword is "The evangelization of the world in this generation," and whose basis of membership is the signing of the declaration:—"It is my purpose, if God permits, to become a foreign missionary." In mission lands it is enrolling students for work among their own people. In this country, through its seven traveling secretaries and its organic connection with the college associations, its influence is extending each year. Students who do not become volunteers are being brought to feel their equal responsibility as leaders in the work at home. By systematic campaign work, it is greatly promoting missionary intelligence and giving, among the young people's societies of the churches.
Beside enrolling volunteers, the movement aids in their training by information and by its large number of courses in mission study. The mission Boards testify that it has enabled them to raise their standards of qualification. Over two thousand of its members have already sailed under about fifty different Boards, yet the number of qualified candidates is still insufficient to meet the pressing needs of most boards. Taken as a whole the Volunteer movement is a very strong appeal, to the generosity of the churches and to the devotion of the Christian students.

THE PLACE OF THE Y. M. C.A. IN HE UNIVERSITY.
F. H. SNOW.
Con inued from page 1.
Finally, the V. M. C. A. in the University of Kansas is here because conditions have made it necessary, it has grown up with us and answers to needs that other agencies cannot fill. It is a university affair and one of very great importance, and as such should be supported by all, whatever their personal views may be.
The same element of individual freedom pervades the work of the Christian Associations. The great majority of the students of the University come from Christian homes and they find in the wisely directed activities of the Christian Associations the best possible influences for strengthening and perpetuating the highest types of Christian manhood and womanhood.
FROM THE FACULTY.
Organizations in which young men are associated for the development of the highest ideals in life, and which, in conformity with such, are consistently maintained and controlled, are the best products of any civilization, and the most fortunate possession of any institution of learning.
The object of our colleges is not to turn out a finished piece of work, but to so prepare,equip, and develop its students that all the noble and truly valuable possessions of life may be open unto them, from which opportunities they themselves are to obtain the completeness that God offers unto man.
The idea that Jesus of Nazareth gave unto the world was human helpfulness, universal brotherhood; that true religion consists not in what one can get out of life for himself but in what kindly service one can aid the life of others. When young men believe in this idea and are banded together for its promotion they are engaged in the most valuable work of the world. W.L.BURDICK.

The distinguishing characteristic of the religious life of the University of Kansas is its spontaneity. The daily chapel service owes a large share of its helpfulness to the fact that the full attendance of both students and faculty is entirely voluntary.
One who has been in the harness himself and has been interested in the practical working of the Y. M. C. A., need not be approached by argument to prove the value of organized work in the promotion of the social and material welfare of strangers and others who come within reach of the influence of the organization.
That is the feeling of the undersigned who has not only had practical work in the organization but has always felt a deep interest in its progress. The work of the organization as applied to the University of Kansas has been of great practical value in the directions above indicated. During the last year

Students the Life of the Early Union Organization—Difficulties in Starting the Student Association.
The first organization in Lawrence that bore the name of a Young Men's Christian Association was started in 1865, a year before the University was organized. It was the result of work by Mr. Dwight L. Moody, the great evangelist, who made a visit here at that time. The officers were Mr. W. H. Fisher, president, and Mr. H. W. Chester, secretary. They occupied rooms in the building that stands at 800 Massachusetts street, and kept up the work for about two years when it died out for lack of support.
The first record on the books of the next organization bears the date, December, 1882. About twelve men from Lawrence had gone up to Topeka to the first Y. M. C. A. state convention and came back enthusiastic for an Association here. Six of these were students and six were town boys. They decided to start a union organization. Several mass meetings were held in the different churches and the plan was "talked up." When enough talking had been done and the people were sufficiently well informed as to what they were going to do they started to raise the money. Their enthusiasm carried them to the point where three of the men cut classes for two days. In that time they raised $600 and the work was started. The floor above Poeh-
ler's grocery store was rented and parlors, reading room and baths were fitted up. The first officers were F. H. Clark, president, and J. D. McLaren, secretary. During the eight or ten years that the two Associations were together the students took the active part of the work and were the real life of the organization. The separation was at the suggestion of some of the traveling secretaries of the International Committee, who urged that a more definite work be undertaken for students. This change left the original organization to the City Association and a new one was formed by the students, which is the Association we now have. For a while both suffered very much by the change. One was left with equipment for work but with very little life, and the other had merely an organization and no equipment at all. The membership decreased until there were only thirty-five or forty in the Association. There was no headquarters and the principal work was a weekly meeting and a Bible Class part of the time. Never-the-less there is evidence of sturdy work on the part of a few men.
The first house in any true sense of the word was started in the spring of '99 when the parlors at 1229 Ohio Street were rented They were only used
about three months but the advantages of such headquarters became evident and in the fall rooms and parlors were rented of Mrs. Kanaga at 1029 Kentucky Street. The Association had its first General Secretary the same year, Mr. Perry Hanson, now in China, filled this position and gave half his time to the work. With the advent of a Secretary the character of the work changed. The Employment bureau and work for new students became important features. The social work was increased and more emphasis was placed on Bible study and Missionary work. The membership grew rapidly until it reached what it has to-day.
During the two and a half years that the Association occupied the Davies houses on Ohio Street this development continued and the Y. M. C. A. in the University will show that it did not happen by chance. Through all of its existence there have been a few men who gave to it the best of their college life. It is to these men that the credit is due for our having the Y. M. C. A. work which we have to-day.
The Association has not yet come to the place where it can do all the work that rightfully belongs to it but its history is characterised by a constant growth in that direction. It is reaching more men each year and is having more influence in determining their character and work in life.
The next epoch in our Association history will begin with the erection of a Y. M. C.A. building for students, which we hope is not far distant.
WATTERSON'S LECTURE.
He Spoke on Money and Morals.
The last number of the University lecture course was the address by Col. Henry Watterson, editor of the Louisville CourierJournal. Mr.Watterson is the leading editor of the old school in the newspaper business today and one of the greatest lecturers.
his subject "Money and Morals" is indicative of the character and contents of his address. He spoke of the great importance which money had reached in the minds of men. "All men desire it" aid he, no man however poor but has pictured to himself the possibility of being rich; he has gone further and planned what his course of action would be if he did become rich; what he would do for his friends; how he would help the poor; what he would do for himself. He talked of money's evil influences, the harm coming from its possession in great quantities as well as the evils arising from great desire for it. He mentioned the menace to good government under our republican system of government occasioned by the use of money in our state and national politics.
The defaulting bank cashier and Trust Co. officers came in for their share of attention and and he deprecated the unsatisfactory system of extradition of criminals that obtains in our treaties with our neighbors, Canada and Mexico."Still" said Col. Watterson, "I think that the defaulter is blamed
more than he should be in many cases." He spoke of the many temptations in many instances, which surround the man who has the keeping of other people's money and thought because a man was a defaulter that it did not necessarily follow that he was all bad.
The department of society which the colonel designated as the "swagger" or "smart" set also received attention. He deplored the existence of such an adjunct to the country's democratic society but felt that they were the outgrowth of our great commercial activity which creates an atmosphere favorable to the formation of the parvenu. "There is little danger,"he added, from these people, and their actions need occasion no anxiety until "monkey dinners" shall become as popular in Kansas as they seem to be at Newport."
He spoke of the various problems which confront the Nation in its wide social life and said that he felt little fear for the outcome of the race question, labor and capital controversies and kindred sociological and economic problems. The greatest problem demanding solution at our hands is the money problem, Col. Watterson thinks. The entrance of the money element into our political life is the crying crime of our nation today.

This is to certify that Mrs. M. Burgess is to conduct a Kansas University Home at the World's Fair in St. Louis. Mrs. Burgess has been in consultation with us for some time in regard to the matter and we heartily approve of her undertaking. We believe her to be a woman of dignity and one in whose care the students of the University, whether young men or young women, will be entirely safe. We think she is entirely competent for the task she has assumed—of providing an inexpensive and pleasant home for our young people who may visit the Fair, and we feel that her plan is worthy of consideration.

OM THE FACULTY.
Continued from page 6. there have come to the Y. M. C A. of the University of Kansas as there have in previous years, no less than seventy-five students who have applied for help in obtaining positions that would be more or less remunerative to assist them in their college course. Through the work of the organization the cases have been met. It is evident that it is a most valuable thing to have a machinery which attends to that class of conditions for which the state does not provide.
As to the social side, which is more or less materially beneficial to the student, the organization has always stood pre-eminent as one designed to promote wholesome and healthful social conditions among the University community at large.
L. E. SAYRE
The University Christian Associations of the young men and young women have been of great service to new students. Through these organizations the student who comes to the University for the first time where all is strange to him, receives the kindly greeting and the assistance so needful during the opening days. If a slender purse necessitates the putting forth of extra effort outside of school and study hours, these associations guide the student to places of congenial employment. The University appreciates very much this service of the Christian Associations. Many students through employment secured in this way are enabled to graduate, who otherwise would be compelled to re-return to their homes.

The guests were received by Misses McKnight Lehman, Burwell, Searles and Stanton. Miss Josephine Searles and Mr. Wm. Edwards of Wichita led the grand march, while the programs, dainty oblong booklets embossed with the fraternity monogram, were given out by Misses Eleanor Wilson and Olga Newlon, Zeiler's Orchestra, of Kansas City, screened behind palms, furnished music for twenty-four dances. During the evening a delicious two course luncheon was served in the balcony. The presence of a number of out of town guests added to the pleasure of the occasion which was especially enjoyed as the first of the post-lenten festivities.

The Leading Social Event of the College Year, a Complete Success.
April 15th was the great day in the year's happenings-the day of the Junior Promenade, the occasion when the junior class of the University of Kansas receives and entertains the faculty and the senior class, if the sophomore class does not succeed in detaining the hosts or otherwise "breaking up" the party.
SOPHOMORE PLANS FRUSFRATED.
Meanwhile Bert Beach and Ernest Gentry, respectively vicepresident and treasurer of the junior class, had come out of hiding and Ray Barton, the president, was the only class officer missing. There was a general impression that he had been caught by the sophomores but it turned out that he had been successful in avoiding them and was only keeping out of trouble by absnting himself.
The plans of the class of '06 were thought to be so well laid this year and their threats against the junior class officers were so violent that those gentlemen in order to avoid being abducted by the sophomores went into hiding several days ago but they continued to hold communication with the various committees who were in charge of the preparations for the Prom. Thursday night, the freshmen class, the sworn friends of the juniors, guarded Pythian hall which was to be the scene of Friday's festivities and early Friday morning work began.
By noon Pythian hall had taken on a festive appearance and the juniors, well satisfied with their work, were feeling tolerably secure from sophomore invasion when the husky men of '06 crept down upon them. The door at the front of the stairs was battered in and a large delegation of sophomores rushed through. This assault was checked by the juniors and freshmen at the head of the stairs who not only stopped the advance but took a number of prisoners, bound them and held them in the hall the rest of the day. Other juniors and freshmen, from upstairs windows, turned the hose on the railers below, and by the time a complaint, from a bystander, had brought the police, only seven persistent sophomores could be found. They were locked up in jail until four o'clock, when they were fined and discharged.
concerting for a time but when they were returned later the happiness of the juniors was quite complete.
The sophomores who were held in the hall made several small disturbances but for the most part there were few disappointments for the juniors. The loss of programs which were stolen from the hall by some sophomore girls, was a trifle dis-
Pythian hall was never prettier than Friday night. The decorations were in evergreen and yellow shaded lights. The walls were well covered in evergreen and ropes of it from the corners of the room were caught in the center where there was hung a huge canopy made of evergreen and studded with yellow lights.
Opposite the entrance to the dancing hall the numerals of the entertaining class and the senior class were done in evergreen and lights. Cozy corners were arranged in the hall and couches, draperies and cushions lent a touch of grace and comfort.
The guests, more than one hundred were received by Messrs Ray Barton, Bert Beach, George Hansen and Ernest Gentry and Misses Grace Moses, Caroline Doubleday, Edith Levan and Eva Olin. The early part of the evening was taken up by a clever little farce under the direction of Prof. Frazier. The cast consisted of five members of the junior class, Bonnie Bell and Mabel Barber and Carl Riley, Charley Hine and Ray Taylor.
At ten o'clock the grand march of over 100 couples was led by Mr. Ray Barton and Miss Grace Moses. Programs, white booklets embossed with gold numerals '05 were given out by Mr. Kepner and Miss Gabrielson and music was furnished for a program of twenty-four dances by Zeiler's orchestra of Kansas City.
An elegant course luncheon was served in the balcony which was artistically decorated in yellow hangings and ropes of evergreen.
This year's Junior Promenade will long be remembered as one of the most delightful of University social affairs and the hosts are to be congratulated on the achievement of their plans and the success of their party. There was not less strife between the junior and sophomore classes than in former years, nor were the "Sophs" less pugilistic than formerly. There was quite as much sport about the game as usual, perhaps more, but this year it was the "Sophs" plans which miscarried and Juniors who did the crowing.
HISTORY CONFERENCE.
Prof, Wilcox spoke Thursday evening before the history conference upon "Archaeology and its Relation to History." He illustrated his lecture with lantern slides. He spoke chiefly upon the way in which Archaeology has assisted in the study and enlightening of ancient history. As concrete examples of the historical benefit obtained from Archaeological research he described the investigations that have been made among the ruins of ancient Greek cities, Troy, Mycenae and Crete.
ATHLETICS.
Washburn Takes a Game—More Accommodations for Visiting Teams.
Washburn defeated K. U. Wednesday by a score of 9 to 6.
NO.27.
The game was a poor exhibition of baseball, both teams making errors and playing loose fielding games: For Kansas Allen pitched a very nice game fanning seven men and allowing seven hits, and had he had good support should have won the game.
Johnson and Henry, catcher and first base for K. U., held down their respective positions in good style, though the rest of the infield seemed to go up in the air at the most critical stages of the game.
In the hitting department K. U. showed up as well as Washburn and the K. U. boys will give a good account of themselves in that department before the end of the year.
The features of the game were the pitching of Allen for K. U. and Hanska of Topeka and Griggs hitting.
Arthur Griggs who played football with K. U. this fall is playing second and pitching for Washburn at present. His home run, which was one of the longest hits ever made on McCook Field, in the first inning and his two bagger in the 3rd were large factors in Washburn's victory.
Mgr. Plank has had a new diamond located bringing the 3rd base near the bleachers making them a fine place from which to view the games. The crowd will be made to stay withid certain bounds keeping the base lines clear and helping the players to a great extent. Benches will be provided for both the home and every accommodation made.
The K. U. Base Ball team is playing the State Normal school at Emporia today. The practice of the K. U. team for the last few days has been better and it is expected that the boys will show up better today than they did in the Wash hburn game.

It appers that the Olympic games have been revived with some degree of permanence. At the games held at Athens in 1896 the King of Greece was personally interested. The games held at Paris in 1900 were given under the patronage of the highest officials of the French government. President Roosevelt will be the honorary president of the games held in St. Louis in 1904. Continued on page 2.

DR. EDWARD MEYER, a professor in the law department of the University of Berlin, who is visiting this country in order that American students and faculties may see and hear some of the apostles of higher education in Germany, sprung a surprise on the gooo people of Chicago by making an eloquent plea in behalf of the foaming stein and recking ducliling sword.—according to Dr. Meyer, the American students do not have as good times as they ought to have. They are deprived of some of the essentials of college life and are not brought up in a sufficiently strenuous style. In the course of his tribute to the amber fluid and its wholesome influence upon the minds and stomachs of students Dr. Meyer said that he should like nothing better than to drink the health of the University of Chicago in a "life size" stein of good lager but President Harper had failed to provide the rostrum with a keg and the Teenton had to drink to Chicago after leaving the hall.
Such sentiments as those expressed by Dr. Meyer are at least refreshing deviations from the usual advice passed out by men who make it their business to look into the bright faces of the young men and women who are availing themselves of the blessed opportunity of preparing for life in one of the best educational institutions in the country." Perhaps the German went a trifle too far and he would undoubtedly be misunderstood by most student bodies. He was advocating good fellowship among students and from his viewpoint good fellowship has to be copiously lubricated with lager beer and Rhine wine before it is in good running order. Dr. Meyer had the right idea. Our colleges and especially our Western institutions need more good fellowship. The students ought to get out more, have a better time and enjoy life while they may. The man who puts off pleasure will keep putting it off until he gets too old to have a good time and then he will be a burden to himself and to everyone else. He will be sour and lack affability which, after all, atones for a great many sins.
Such advice as this is not needed by all students for many are already entirely too much engrossed in having a good time; it applies to those who live only
in books and grades. Such students are improving their time in a way but they ought to get out more. To be plain they ought to "jar loose". This does not mean that they should at once cultivate a taste for beer and pretzels and open communication with the Kansas City liquor houses. It means that the "digs" should mingle with other students and if they cannot mingle in a manner which they enjoy they should practice it for a man is not a whole man until he can make himself agreeable to other people and at the same time enjoy association with them.
THE EFFORTS of some of the band men to get the K. U. band into good condition for the spring athletic contests are to be commended. In the past K. U. bands have had a tendency to burst forth into full bloom during the foot-ball season and to gradually wither away during the rest of the year Spring time has produced only a "Band of Hope". This is a good sort of a band in its place, but not on the athletic field. Even the soul inspiring strains of "Hiawatha" will not win many base-ball games when the air is carried only by the bass and snare drums, accompanied by three horns and one boy to hold the music. K. U. needs a good band. She has the material for one and the "WEEKLY" believes that she also has the men to get it together. Every base-ball game should see thirty band men, with instruments on Me.Cook field, prepared to use all the wind that their lungs will supply to assist the team in winning. Good rooting in an athletic contest is always present if there's a good band, and good rooting has won more games on Me.Cook field than a mathematical can calculate. Our baseball team has started in to clean up the schedule this year and under favorable conditions they'll do it. Let's make the conditions auspicious, by providing the most necessary one, a good band.
AGAIN MISSOURI has beaten us in debate and the record stands four victories for Missouri and three for Kansas. Our boys gave the visitors the best fight that they were capable of but to no avail. Kansas University has one consolation in this defeat; there's no other institution that we would sooner have win over us than Missouri University, and a Kansas debating team was never bested by any team more worthy the title of gentleman than the one composed of the M. S. U. boys who represented their school here last Saturday evening.
But Missouri! watch out for next year, for as certain as Kansas apples surpasses the old Ozark product, we're going to win the debate of 1905.
THE RHODES Scholarship examination for this state, which was given on the hill Wednesday and Thursday showed one thing certain and that is that Oxford demands her students to know several things before they enter there. The seven contestants all agree that the required scholarship especially in Greek and Latin is plenty high enough.
+
The WEEKLY doesn't want to make the other contestants feel bad, but it earnsly hopes that one of the three K. U. boys will win out. If the honor does fall to one of them it is a surety that Kansas need not feel ashamed of her representative in the great English University, for he will compare favorably in every respect to the best that England can produce. It is to be hoped that after this year numerous K. U. students will arrange their university work so that they will be the best fitted to make application for this scholarship. The WEEKLY expects in the future to see a K. U. man at Oxford all the time.

THE DAILY Nebraskan contained an editorial the other day regarding the wholesale furnishing of orations by regular publishing companies. It seems strange that there should be companies in existence who are able to sell ready made orations. Some men must patronize them. They must find purchasers or else they would not exist. The WEEKLY has its opinion of the man who will enter an oratorical contest with one of these "custom made" speeches, and if the evidence was not so strong, it would be hard to believe that a college trained man would be guilty of such action. It takes some nerve to steal but it takes the double-distilled article to deliver another man's oration for one's own.

W. H. Livers went to Kansas City Thursday to complete arrangements for the Glee and Mandolin Clubs' concert which will be given at the Central High School Friday evening, April 22. The two clubs will give a combined concert there on that date. It is probable that a number of K.U. students will accompany the clubs.
GERMAN PLAY.
Thursday evening, April 21, the annual German play will be presented by students of the German department. The play selected for this year is "Eigensinn" by Benedix. The cast of characters is as follows: Alfred a young married
anured, a young married man- Mr. Harry Gowans.
Emma, his wife-Miss Louise Bristol.
Austarf, Emma's father—Mr.
Ben Stelter.
Katharina, Emmara's mother—Miss Alas Cambell.
Heinrich, a servant-Mr. Joe Kellogg.
Lisbeth, a servant—Miss Eva
Olin.
The scene is laid at the home of Alfred and Emma. Heinrich and Emma quarrel because Emma refuses to say at Heinrich's bidding, "God be praised the table is spread!" Alfred overhears the quarrel and reports it to his wife, suggesting that she would not be so stubborn, but she, too, refuses to say the words and again a quarrel arises, with hard words and tears. Ju't here Ausdarf and Katharina come to visit their daughter and they too become involved in the quarrel. Finally, by means o gifts, the husbands assuage the anger of their wives. Then by chance Katharine gives two
the words, "God be praised, the table is spread!" This gives occasion for a hearty laugh, in which all join. Emma and finally Lisbeth, too, yield gradually to the request made by Alfred and Heinrich, and all ends happily.
The Mandolin Club met Wednesday night to make final arrangements for their Kansas City trip. They also voted to have a cut made for the Weekly and for the Senior Annual.

MEDITATION
Spring time, gentle Anne, has arrived or nearly so. Spring is the time of year when, according to the authorities, the world is young and happy and doesn't give a doggone for anything; when the young blades shoot and the brooklets babble; when the little birds (also the old Plymouth Rock hen) carol forth their lay; when the gentle zephyrs frisk about you and the incense of the flowers is waited to you; in short when all nature is one grand harmony.
There are other things that occur in this glorious season. This is the time when that spring suit has to be ordered and the unreasoning tailor convinced that he does not need the money for the rags he made last fall. Then there are such things as athletics and other forms of amusement to be taken care of. Spring is also the time of spring poets, so here goes: The track athlete in scanty clothes will hike around the cinder path; the time has come for Bobo shows to cut a mighty swath. The base ball fiend with iron clad lungs will vocalize of ball and bat; the ice man with his little tongs is king of men for a that. The fat man with a ruddy face will chase the lawn mower thro' the yard; the tennis girl with wondrous grace will swing the racket, oh, so hard. The golfer with a dozen clubs will lam the ball like one possessed, the white a half dozen dubs will try to look impress- etc, etc, etc, ad infinitum.
"Hamlet overheard Julius Caesar tell King Lear on the Twelfth Night after the Tempest that Anthony and Cleopatrabad told Carionlaus that Two Gentlemen of Verona were the authors of Shakespeare's plays.

"Lear said: 'You may take it As You Like It, but I don't believe it, for I heard Romeo and Juliet say Love's Labor was Lost when Troilus and Cressida stole the Comedy of Errors and sold it to the Merchant of Venice for a cup of sack and a dish of caraways. Timon of Athens and Cymbaline were parties to the theft, and after drinking Measure for Measure with the Merry Wives of Windsor told King John all about it. Richard III., as competent critic, said Bacon could not write even a Winter's Tale, and Henry VIII. said "That settles it," so why make So Much Ado About Nothing? Othello was busy discussing a point of honor with Henry IV., V., VI., and as Richard II. was about Taming the Shrew, I could get no further evidence as to who wrote Shakespeare, but All's Well That Ends Well."—Ex.

HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS HERE.
MEN FROM ALL OVER THE STATE
ATTEND THE CONFERENCE.
The First Annual Conference of Kansas School Superintendents and Principals is being held at K. U. yesterday and today. In addition to regular business sessions the visitors are seeing the working methods and equipments of K. U.
The number in attendance far exceeds that expected for the first session.
Leading high school teachers from this and other states are reading papers before this meeting, and the benefit is considered great enough to institute the conference as a regular annual affair.
RESULTS OF THE PROM.
The usual rough and tumble preliminaries were indulged in during the morning between the the freshman and juniors on the one hand and the sophomores on the other. About noon the sophomores endeavored to gain entrance to the hall with the intention of destroying the decorations, but the usual citizen who hat his peace of mind easily disturbed was on hand and turned in a police call. An officer arrested seven of the attacking sophomores and took them down to the city hall for a rest after their laborious efforts.
Hizzoner, the police judge, realizing the financial needs of Rip Van Winkle Lawrence, gave the boys $10.50 per, altho' the accused like the gentlemen they are had plead guilty and the city attorney had agreed with Dean Green, the boys' attorney, that $1 and cost was a sufficient fine.
The students feel that the city authorities gave them the short end of the deal, inasmuch as the usual rounder after a night of hilarity and disturbance to everybody's peace, is usually assessed a fine of only one dollar. As a matter of fact no one appeared against the boys at the trial and the only people disturbed were the boys themselves.

DEBATE.
MISSOURI DEFEATED KANSAS I
THE ANNUAL DRAFT
THE ANNUAL DEBATE
April ninth, the seventh annual debate between Missouri and Kansas occurred in Lawrence on the question, Resolved, that the 15th amendment to the constitution has not been justified. Kansas represented by Geo. T. Guernsey, G. A. Neely and W. H. Elder defended the negative. T. J. Otis, W. H. Walker and J. A. Potter represented the Tigers.
The debate as a whole was lively and characterized by much spirit and enthusiasm. The Missouri men showed good team work and probably won on that account. Our men showed a broader knowledge of the question and this would undoubtedly have won the debate if it had not been for some blunders in rebuttal. The decision of the judges was two to one in favor of Missouri.

SPECIMENS FOR CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT.
Through the courtesy of the National Lead Co., of St. Louis, samples illustrating the manufacture of "white lead" have been secured for the chemistry museum. These samples form a complete set and include specimens of the earthen pots in which the corrosion is carried on: lead "buckles" cast ready for corrosion; the corroding "buckles" completely converted into white lead; the same material crushed; lead carbonate after being ground and washed; dry white lead finished from the pans; mixed tan bark which is used in the process; white lead ground in oil; and Babbitt metal and solder.
A novel sort of sport was indulged in by Missouri University students recently. They held a sort of Hobo convention several hundred dressed in the conventional full dress costume of the "Weary Willie," held up an accommodation train at a small town near Columbia and in true Coxey army style rode into the college town. After this they held a convention and heard speeches delivered in the customary freight car parlance. It is reported that "Tramp, Trump, Tramp, the Boys are Marching" was adopted as the official hymn of the organization.

The sophomores last year when freshmen, won the class base ball championship and from present indications it seems quite possible that they are going to repeat the story this spring.
WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY.
Some Facts Regarding St. Louis' Leading Educational Institution.
One of the new institutions which K. U. enters into athletic relations with this year for the first time is Washington University. There has been a considerable desire among many students to know something of our new comrade in sports.
Washington University was started Feb. 22, 1853, under the name of Eliot Seminary. In deference to the wishes of Rev. Wm. G. Eliot of St. Louis for whom it was named, the institution's name was changed to the one it now bears.
The university courses embrace Law, Engineering, Fine Arts, Dental, Medical, Botany and Liberal Arts. In '94 the university purchased a tract of 113 acres of land. By the help of the citizens of St. Louis, ten buildings have been already built upon the new campus, but they have not yet been occupied by the school as the St. Louis Purchase Exposition Company has rented the site for the Fair buildings.
After the exposition is over the permanent buildings will be given to the university. The university owns the St. Louis freight terminal which pays them a handsome income annually. With the good endowment possessed by this institution and the keen interest taken in its welfare by the citizens of St. Louis, it seems probable that Washington University will be found before long in the front ranks of our Western educational institutions.

THE SENIOR PLAY.
The members of the Senior play committee after due deliberation last fall, declared themselves dissatisfied with the species of plays presented by previous senior classes and decided to write a play of their own upon original lines. After much patient work they are ready at last to announce the results of their efforts
The play to be given this year is called "Wip Van Rinkle" being an adaptation of Irving's famous "Rip." The play is of four acts. It is entirely local in color and setting and deals with University life. It is replete with jokes and humorous situations and throughout the play there runs a definite plot, gradually rising in interest as the climax is reached.
KANSAS CITY CONCERT.
The Glee and Mandolin Clubs Present a Successful Program.
A concert was given in Kansas City at the Central High School auditorium last night by the K. U. Glee and Mandolin Clubs.
A large audience greeted the K. U. boys and their expectations of a good program were not disappointed Among the numbers most favorably received were Mr. Heim Goldman's mandolin solo, accompanied by Miss Eva Woodward; Prof Hubach's and L. W. Sherer's solos. The solos were especially well received.

Rain Interferes With Schedule—Preparation for Interscholastic Meet. Manhattan Game Today.
In the base ball game at Emporia last Saturday K. U. lost to the Normals by a score of 7 to 15. The game in the first five innings was a good exhibition of ball, but in the sixth inning K. U. went to pieces and allowed the Normals to pile up six runs. From that time on the game was loosely played. Our boys were strong with the stick but weak in the field. Morgan for Kansas pitched a good game and with better support the outcome would have been different.

to W. R. Nelson of the Kansas City Star as the most successful newspaper man in the west
After twenty-seven years' experience upon one paper, Mr. Howe said that even yet he didn't know when he was writing the right thing. "One mistake that most editors make," said Mr. Howe, "is to remain in their office all the time. They should get out and see people." He said further that newspaper editors quarrel too much—that they only belittle themselves when they parade their differences through their papers. Mr. Howe thinks that the man of today is too much underestimated because people are always looking forward for that ideal fellow who is going to be with us in the fu-
The work of the committee this year is a decided departure from the productions of previous classes in that the play is original, with the "roast" element entirely eliminated. The language, names, and bearings of the professors and students introduced into the cast are carefully disguised to conceal identity.
The opening scene is laid in the early days of the University when "Wip Van Rinkle" was a student and "Jane Thatcher," the first girl to enter the institution, had been enrolled but a short time. As a result of her presence, Wip becomes involved in a romance which culminates in a sleep of many years' duration. The last acts open with

THE ACTION of the Lawrence police court in the case of the seven sophomores arrested Friday noon, came as a surprise not only to the students directly but to the entire student body. Class fights have become a recognized part of university life and it is unusual to have the municipal police force hold quite so full a hand in the game. For years it has been the custom for the sophomores to attempt to break up the junior promenade and, as Judge Green stated at the trial, a class which fails to make an attempt.at least,would lose caste among their fellow students and would be denounced as "pikers."
The principal charge made against the offenders was the destruction of property, yet this charge was withdrawn upon the announcement that the sophomores would plead guilty to disturbance of the peace. At the trial no one appeared against the students except the officers who made the arrests. The owner of the property involved and the good citizens whose peace had been disturbed, were not in evidence. The students were all on hand early for the trial and consented at once to plead guilty. When the judge announced that the fine would be five dollars and costs there was considerable surprise manifested for it is almost a rule in the local police court that offenders shall be fined one dollar and costs, the total being the familiar $6.50 which is left set up at all the newspaper officers.
In the usual lecture before pronouncing sentence the court announced that it was the desire of the city to put an end to class fights upon the main streets and it was hoped that the arrests and fines would have this effect. It is not likely that such a condition will follow as a result of the lesson for fights can not at all times be confined to any particular area. It would undoubtedly be wise for students to abstain from attack upon property in all cases but as this was not involved in the trial it need not be discussed in this connection
There are bound to be disturbances of greater or less extent upon the streets of Lawrence so long as the university remains in its present location and the citizens have never shown a very strong desire to have it move
away. There are very few people in a college town who do not expect to tolerate some good-natured disturbances on the part of students for such disturbances have never been known to become vicious or in the nature of riots. Whenever damage to property has resulted the students responsible have been ready and willing to pay the cost of repairs. The merchants and business men of Lawrence find in the students their best customers and it is very probable that the student trade is even more dear to them than is the sanctity of historic old Massachusetts street.
In the present case the students should not blame the police officers who made the arrests. They merely did their duty in answering a call turned in by an excited citizen who feared that the Quantrell raid was about to be reacted.
DR. HETHERINGTON in a chapel talk at K. U. last year remarked that Missouri University had the "one man" system in athletics. The results over there have had a tendency to make spectators believe that the "one man idea" might be improved upon.
The Weekly desires to say a word or two about the "one man" system. It has not as yet tried it in an athletic way but it claims to know as much about this method in publishing a college paper as any one can. The present Weekly purports to be the chief student publication of Kansas University, and the best it can say for itself is that it is a disgrace to the school. The idea that a State University of the standing of this can't publish a better paper is ridiculous or shameful. A dozen little colleges about us get out better publications.
This paper doesn't blame the students for not supporting it better, in fact they do more than might be expected. But what's the use of having such a state of affairs existing? Let us change the system. The "one man" system which is the present method will never furnish a university a good paper. It is absolutely impossible for an editor to get work out of a staff of reporters who have no other reason for working than a desire to see a good college paper.
The Weekly has a staff at present that probably works as well as any previous one, but it doesn't do enough. Two or three perform conscientious work, the rest feel that they have attained high enough honors when they see their names printed on the editorial page as members of the 'Board' and consider it useless to win further laurels by rustling copy.
Again, it may be said that they are not to blame; they have no incentive to work; they receive nothing except approval from conscience when they do work; and conscience is extremely weak in the whip hand.
The Weekly thinks that there should be an entire change of method. Men who have some fitness for the work should be on the college paper staff. Artangments should be made so that
they could as in other schools, get some sort of credit for their literary and journalistic endeavors. The entire order of things should be revolutionized and an effort made, and made now, to work out some plan by which a college paper, which shall be in keeping with the dignity and position of the university, can be published. The Weekly isn't exactly on the hospital list as yet but it feels that its title is no misnomer and feels that it is gradually deteriorating and that unless succor comes soon it will wake up some morning and find a crown and harp by its bedside.
NEXT FRIDAY the first annual inter-scholastic meet of the high schools of Kansas will be held under the auspices of the university. Ten high schools have already accepted the invitation definitely and it is probable that more will send their acceptance soon. The students should remember that the visiting teams are the guests of the university upon this occasion and that it is the duty of K. U. to see that the high school people have a good time. We wish them to come here to continue their studies and the meet will offer a fine chance to give them a good opinion of the university. It depends largely upon the students as to whether this meet will be successful or otherwise and we feel positive the students of K. U. will do all in their power to make the affair so great a success that it will be repeated and more largely attended each year. The idea is a new one at this university but it is not a new thing altogether, for it has been acted upon frequently at other universities with most gratifying results for all concerned.
When these high school lads come to Lawrence they should be given the best that the town has and should be made to feel that we are really glad to see them. The meet will be interesting and should be well attended
NEXT FRIDAY the Kansas debaters meet Nebraska's University team in Lincoln. K.U. will send the strongest debating team that she has had in years against our Nebraska friends and it is believed by all Kansas debate enthusiasts that our boys will not return empty handed. If hard conscientious work and extensive research count for anything Nebraska will have to work to win. Kansas is proud of this debating team and whether they win or loose, she knows that they have wasted no effort and left no stone unturned to bring victory to K.U. this year.
THE K.U.BASE BALL team is having a series of hard luck performances. About all that the boys can do is to grin and bear it, and they're doing it. The boys are learning though, and K.U. students still have faith in their team. What are a few defeats any way? We suspect that the Normal school felt kindlier toward the university after defeating our boys last Saturday than they have at any time since the Normal-K. U. foot ball game last fall.
As the old Sunday School saying goes, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." The only danger is that every little base ball team in the country is likely to get the idea that they can beat K. U., but they can't, and and the wearers of the crimson and blue are getting ready now to tighten up their belts and win a few games just to show the knockers that they can play ball
THE JUNIOR PROM rough and tumble preliminaries last Friday as usual furnished a nucleus for some lurid newspaper articles upon the fierce physical contests to which K. U. students are addicted whenever opportunity presents itself. In justice to the local papers we are bound to say that with a single exception they gave a plain straightforward statement of facts in describing the class fight, but some of the outside papers printed accounts of the difficulty that would give a reader the idea that the encounter rivaled the engagements in which the "fighting 20th" were accustomed to participate
One Kansas City paper, under sensational headlines, printed a report of the affair which for style and method would make a war correspondent turn a good Irish color with envy. The reporter wasn't satisfied with improving upon actual occurrences, but felt that it was necessary to introduce a few new between act features of his own.
This specialty act procedure upon the part of the reporter is very conducive toward adding interest to the story but it has its harmful results.
Nearly every year some difficulty happens at the university, which after being improved upon by newspaper genius eventually finds its way into the small country papers throughout the state and creates consternation. The country readers believe the story as it finally reaches them and are quite willing to believe that the State University must be a very barbarous institution.
The bald facts are enough to report when these affairs occur and student reporters, while they may in justice to themselves and their papers report everything, yet should have the interest of K. U. enough at heart to stop when the end is reached and not embellish the real happenings by writing fanciful additions just because it makes the story more sensational.

SOCIETY.
Prof. and Mrs. Frazier entertained Messrs. Sims, Bender, Kayser Bartell and Johnson with a five course dinner at their home on Rhode Island street last night. The evening was spent in social recreation. Evenings spent with Prof. and Mrs. Frazier as hosts are always remembered by the debating boys as the most pleasant evenings of their college course.
Miss Hettie Mossler entertained at cards for Miss Anna Rankin on Saturday afternoon. Out of town guests were Miss Wellis of Topeka and Miss Bitting and Miss Lelia Pardue of Wichita.
Pi Beta Phi held her annual spring dance Friday April 22. The American Flag was the scheme of decoration. Across the center of the ceiling was stretched an immense flag surrounded by a network of smaller flags. Flags were draped over windows, doors and along the walls. The music from Zeiler's orchestra floated from beneath a canopy of flags. The balcony in which delightful refreshments were served was dressed in pure white. It was lighted with white electric lights, a pleasing contrast to the rest of the hall which was lighted with red lights. The grand march was led by Miss Galloo and Prof. Van der Vries and the programs were given to the dancers by Miss Uhrich and Miss Hawk. On the cover of these programs were engraved the fraternity letters in gold on a wine back ground.
Miss Genevieve Sterling and Miss Elanor Noyce very pleasantly entertained on Saturday evening at the home of Miss Sterling.
The Betas gave an informal party at their chapter house last Saturday night in honor of Mr. Frank Burford, who, having completed his work in the arts school, has returned to his home.
GERMAN PLAY.

The German department gave their fifth annual play Thursday night in the Unitarian church under the direction of Prof.Erich Muenter. The play chosen was Benedix's comedy, "Eigensinn." The cast was composed of Misses Louise Bristol, Alys Campbell and Eva Olin, Messrs. Harry Gowans, Ben Stelter and Joe Kellogg.
The players deserve great credit for the successful manner in which they interpreted the various characters.
German songs by a phonograph was a feature of the entertainment. In addition Mr.Sherer, accompanied by Miss Greissinger, sang the "Two Grenadiers."
No play ever given by the department has met with greater success, and the German department, both faculty and students, is to be congratulated upon their successful efforts.

WAGNER RECITAL.
The second lecture recital on Wagner's operas will be given by the School of Music at University Hall Tuesday evening, April 26th. The subject will be "Lohengrin," which is perhaps the best of all Wagner's operas for presentation in this way on account of the character of the music and because the general public is familiar with detached passages of it. Professor Skilton will give the lecture, describing the opera and explaining its meaning and construction; illustrations of important passages of music will be given by Professor Preyer at the piano, and by Mrs. Lyons and Professor Hubach, soloists.

ture. He believes that there are just as many bright men among the common every day citizens as among the great. He gave a graphic description of his daily visits among the Atchison people. He misses no place where clever men are to be found, the restaurant, harness shop, livery stable; and he interviews the farmers and visits in their homes.
Regarding newspaper work Mr. Howe said: "The great school for Journalism is the country newspaper." "Good reporters," he said farther, "can write anything," and he referred his hearers to such men as Richard Harding Davis and Lincoln Steffens.
One of the great elements of success in newspaper work is harmony among the office force.
Mr. Howe thinks that newspapers should endeavor to improve existing conditions, but feels that there can be too much reform attempted, and I gave as an example of the latter idea the policy of the New York Journal.
The Sunday newspaper was severely criticised by Mr. Howe. He called it a nuisance and said that all it contained was fake stuff and invented news stories, "Only worthy papers succeed," said Mr. Howe, "A poor paper is the poorest property on earth and the best thing that the owner of such a publication can do is to let go and run."

Kansas Lost the Debate at Lincoln Last Night.
NEBRASKA WINS.
The Nebraska debating team won: over the Kansas men last night, getting two of the judges to one favoring Kansas. The question debated was: Resolved, That the interests of the United States no longer require an appeal to the Monroe Doctrine as a principle of national policy.
It was the hardest fought contest ever held between the two universities and the judge last night reached their decisions only after forty-five minutes consultation.
J. W. Kavser of K, U. was the orator of the occasion but Nebraska's tower of strength was E. R. Buckner, whose keen logic formed the winning element for the corn huskers

HIGH SCHOOL DAY.
Michigan men are taking steps to inaugurate a "student's union" to be of a character similar to the "unions" of Oxford, Harvard and Pennsylvania.
Several Hundred High School Students Visit K. U.
S. E. Bartlett, J. A. Johnson and J. W. Kayser, who represented K. U. in the debate against Nebraska last night.
The debate was well attended and the audience was enthusiastic. The Kansas boys expressed themselves as more than satisfied with the treatment received from their opponents.
The freshman debating club at Chicago university has decided that Party machinery is necessary to politics.
The first annual High School Day at Kansas University was held Friday. A large number of the high schools of Kansas and Missouri sent delegations. A special musical program was given in the chapel in honor of the visitors. The high school people were well pleased with the entertainment given them by the University.
During the morning they visited the University and in the afternoon an interscholastic field meet was held on McCook field. High School Day will be an annual event hereafter and it is hoped that this event may draw the University and the high schools into closer contact.
The Girl's Glee Club of the University of Minnesota will be a part of the invisible chorus of Parsifal which is to be given in Minneapolis.
The Northwestern co-eds who live at Willard hall take one newspaper.
A national convention of college editors will be held in St. Louis the latter part of June. This meeting will certainly be unique and the assemblage of such talent will be an occasion of peculiar interest. College journalism is climbing into an important position, and it is sending its graduates yearly to great newspapers. But with its growth the duties and responsibilities of the college editor are constantly increasing. It is with this fact in view that an attempt is being made to interest all the college editors in the convention to be held in St. Louis. It will doubtless be a successful affair, and will bring a large number of students together, representing varied interests and all of the phases of college journalism.

ATHLETICS.
KANSAS TAKES FIRST GAME FROM THE HEAWKEYES.
The Interscholastic Field Meet One of the Best Meets Ever Held on McCook.
About a thousand people witnessed the first game of the Iowa series, which resulted in a victory for K. U. by a score of 9 to 6. The game was an interesting one from start to finish. Both teams were strong at the bat and weak in the field, Johnson for Kansas and Brekke for Iowa earned away the batting honors. Our team snowed a remarkable improvement over the last game.
The sensational fielding of Woodford and fine work of Henry upon first base were the features of the game. The lineup:

The first annual interscholastic track meet was held on McCook field Friday afternoon. The day was ideal and a large and enthusiastic crowd greeted the high school boys. Eight schools were represented in the meet: Kansas City, Kansas, Anthony, Carbondale, Beloit, Atchison, Lawrence and Osage City. Lawrence won first prize with a total of forty-one points. Carbondale, with only two men entered, carried away second honors with twenty-nine points. Beloit got third place with twenty-one points. The feature of the meet was the work of McGrath, who won first place in three events. Commons of Lawrence and Miller of Osage City

NOTHER of the sons of Kansas University has ended his work untimely and left us forever. The death of Guy Harshberger of the class of '02, will cause regret in the heart of every K. U. student who knew him. One of our University's brightest men, a young man of more than ordinary ability, faithful to his ideals, a never-failing support to his friends, of the highest character, his presence will be sadly missed. Guy Harshberger was a young man who never had an enemy in school and yet he always spoke his convictions. He never did an underhand action. He was clean—he was a man. His monument will be the loving remembrance of each and all of his student and other friends.
THE May Pole scrap question is again up to us. Many students are dissatisfied with the manner in which it has been carried on the past two or three years. Under classmen have stayed out of school several days before the fight for fear of being tied up and hence be kept out of the fight. This interference with school work has led some upper classmen to advise the discontinuing of the May Pole scrap altogether, and the substitution of a contest of Dare Base or Bull-in-the-Pen for the belligerent under classmen.
Why should the annual May Pole Scrap be discontinued? It has come to be traditional for the Freshmen to take their first formal stand under their colors on the 1st of May, and the Weekly would hate to see the old custom replaced by any other form of contest.
The tying up of combatants should be prohibited as it used to be, then the annual May Pole Scrap would be what it was several years ago—a howling, yelling success.
HERE is a movement among the upper classmen to control the May Pole Scrap. Some would even go so far as to eliminate the May pole altogether and just have the Freshmen and Sophomores mix up in a little friendly rough and tumble. The Weekly can't imagine
how the Juniors and Seniors are going to do the marshaling act during the fight without helping one side or the other, in fact, in fights that are past, it has been an uncommon occurrence to see an upper classman who did not manage to get into the game at some stage or other and 1 heretofore all upper classmen have been supposed to be non-combatants.
And think of a May pole scrap without a May pole surmounted by the Freshmen colors! What reason would there be for fighting? What would the Freshmen defend?
This paper admits that it fails to see the reason for any Buttinski work upon the part of the upper classmen. Nor would it change the good old scrap in any way from its former style of procedure. It ought to be rough. There ought to be skinned noses and bruised limbs—that's what makes it exciting to the combatants. The students want the strenuous elements; they love to breathe that old dust that fills the air when the rushing men close together about the pole. They delight in heaving each other about, in picking out a man and besting him in a personal encounter. They enjoy the element of danger, it nerves the muscles, brightens the eye and fills the heart with a courage all unusual. Ask the upper classmen if any one of them would have been one whit less sore in body the next day after a May Day scrap, or have had one black eye, or lascerated wrist the less?
Such contests may have a brutal element in them, for all that they are wanted and are necessary.
And the student who looks upon such a contest and doesn't wish he could stretch his muscles in the thickest of it is only part man and that has the tint of the heathen Chinese.
Let us have the good old-fashioned scrap; let the under classmen make their own arrangements; with the assistance of the upper classmen if they ask it; but let the Juniors and Seniors keep out of the affair unless they go in to fight.
SOME sororities at various colleges have begun to publish themselves as "fraternies," which is somewhat ridiculous, unless perhaps they wish to be considered tomboys. There is no such thing as a Greek letter female fraternity. To be sure the name "girls' fraternity" is easily understood. Why not have a "boys sorority?" Perhaps these are fraternities who would like to be considered sissy-boys Co-education can do many things but it can not make a brotherhood out of a sisterhood.

THE University of Kansas Press Club has at last materialized and it starts out full of good resolutions upon the part of its members to make itself a permanent and beneficial factor in Kansas University affairs. Such clubs among the newspaper reporters have been highly successful in other institutions and there is no reason why this association of K.U. newspaper reporters should not be of value
to the members and in addition prove a source of assistance to the administration of K. U. on organization having such an object is worthy of a trial at least and deserves success. It is to be hoped that this small beginning may ripen into a press organization of great dignity and influence.
IT IS the time of the year when the college cadet corps begin to polish the brass buttons and do extra drill work preparatory to marching with the old veterans on Memorial Day and incidentally to prove to the general public that they wouldn't have made such a bad appearance themselves at Gettysburg or San Juan Hill.
COMMENCEMENT SPEAKERS.
The speakers who will make the principal commencement addresses have been procured. The Baccalaurate sermon will be delivered by Prof. T. W. Spring of Williams College, formerly teacher of English Literature at K. U. The alumni address will be given by Geo. O. Virtue, instructor of Political Economy at the Minnesota Normal School and a graduate of K. U. in the class of '92.
J. H. Long, Professor of Chemistry at Northwestern, K. U.'77 will give the Sigma Xi address. The commencement address will be delivered by Hugo Munsterberg, Professor of Philosophy at Harvard.
A KICK.
It has been said that the old bachelors' and the old maids' children were always the best. The same is true of running schools like this one. The students always know better than the Chancellor or faculty committees how things should be run. Yet to one who has been observing things here for a number of years there are several things that need improving very much.
One is the matter of dismissing and taking up classes. The regulations very plainly say that the classes are to be dismissed five minutes before the hour and take up on the hour. Yet it is a fact that many instructors hold their recitations from three to fifteen minutes overtime, thus making the students late to the next recitation. The teacher to whom the student comes late often marks him tardy or gives him extra work as a penalty.
When the explanation is given that they were detained in the previous class, the instructor will reply, "get up and leave when it is time to go," or, "tell the professor that he is keeping you over time," or, "petition the Chancellor to make Professor So-and-So dismiss his classes on time."
These are none of them the students' duty. He runs the risk of incurring his instructor's displeasure if he says anything. The instructors should observe the regulations and not put the students to the annoyance and inconvenience that some of them are put to almost daily. If this will not do, some central power should take control and see that the classes are dismissed on time L.W.H.

SOPHOMORE CLASS MEETING.
The sophomores met Tuesday to discuss the burden placed upon them by a zealous police judge and a hall owner whose sense of humor is lacking. The gist of the remarks made was that the class has been set back about $107.18, an itemized account of which would range from $35 for the judge's arduous labors down to 25 cents for brooms, and including $5.00 for damaged harness. Awful visions
of devastated pocket books came before the boys of the class, and a motion to do away with class hats and put the money in on new doors was promptly made and passed.
The girls however were not to be outdone in a show of self sacrifice, and after a hurried conference among the young ladies, they decided to quit chewing gum and, together with the recent belligerents, to help pay for the broken windows and doors.

J. N. Patmore of Pittsburg visited here this week.
It's here at last, the time has come
The wintry blast which now is dumb
Was after all a piny game?
Beside the squash, which now assaults
the tennis court?
Cold snacks he cats, nor dares look ribed.
Out in the streets the stuff is piled.
The cookatove's on the pansy bed,
The sidboard's gone to the wood
the sideboard's gone to the wood shed,
The grub is nil.
His bed he sees out on the green. And on the breeze smells kerosine.
And all that's left is to retreat Before the storm
THE HORSE.
The horse is a domestic animal. He is a quadruped and generally travels on foot. Pegasus was a kind of horse that had wings and traveled through the air. This kind of a horse was the forerunner of the modern air ship. The breed is totally extinct now and no one has been seen to ride one for about three thousand forty-three years. There are several kinds of horse now in general use among which are race horses. The most common of these is the hobby horse and they come so cheap that the poorest citizen if he is honest can own one. They can go faster and for a greater length of time within a given boundary than any other breed. Charley horses, as their name indicates, are great pets. Ponies are small horses and are ridden by cow punchers and students. It is a wise student that knows his own pony.
THE SENIOR.
Consider ye the senior.
Consider ye the earth.
He cometh forth in the spring-
time adorned with a cap and gown
and a preoccupied atmosphere.
He spinseth the wooden tops on the college walks with a gravity and decorum born of wisdom. He weatheth a long face and speaks with reverend tones of his Alma Mater. He courtieth the society and companionship of his instructors and is above the 'small deeds of the world about him.
About next June he will receive a degree and be ushered into the great battle ground of the world with extreme unction, and in about seven years he will be head clerk in a dry goods store or the head teamster of a wholesale grocery house.

FRENCH PLAY.
French Students Will Give Their Annual Play next Wednesday Night.
The play annually given by students in the department of French will be presented this year on the evening of May 4th, at 8 p. m., in the hall of the Eldridge House. The piece chosen is the well-known "Voyage de M. Perrichon," Comedie en quatre Actes, par MM. Labiche et Martin. Although the story of M. Perrichon is well known, being so frequently read in the class room yet for the benefit of those unfamiliar with French a brief summary may be useful.
M. Perrichon, retired carriage maker of Paris, is about to start on a journey into Switzerland accompanied by his wife and daughter Henriette. At the station they meet, one after the other, two young men Armand Desroches and Daniel Savary, both suitors for the hand of Henriette. The lovers, chancing upon each other a few minutes after in the station, decide to take tickets and follow the Perrichon family, and to settle their mutual rivalry as soon as possible.
In the second act the whole party is resting at an inn close by Mont Blane. Wild cries are heard and Perrichon appears carried in the arms of his family and of Armand who has just rescued him from a crevasse. Daniel not discouraged by Armand's unexpected advantage, decides upon another line of action and, inviting Perrichon upon another excursion he falls into a hole himself and permits Perrichon to rescue him thus tickling the latter's vanity. Both suitors now press their claims for the hand of Henriette but the family is divided, the mother and daughter preterring Armand, while Perrichon holds out for Daniel, the only man, whom as he says, he has ever saved.
Upon their return to Paris the creatty Daniel writes up Perrichon exploits in a newspaper and urges the old gentleman to permit him to have a picture painted depicting the thrilling rescue upon the Alps. The simple Armand, on the other hand, hurts his own chances by interfering in an affair of honor in which Perrichon is involved because of a careless criticism which he has made upon the Commandant while they are all together in the Alps. Daniel is thus about to win his suit because of Perrichon's egoism and weakness for him when the father overhears a conversation between the two suitors in when Daniel ridiculizes the carriage maker's vanity. Calling the two together the old gentleman says:
The following is the east of characters:
Perrichon...M. Faragher
Majorin...M. Cooper
Le Commandant...M. Stelter
Armand Desroches...M. Orr
Daniel Savary...M. Lapham
Joseph, domestique du
As heretofore, the performance will be quite gratuitous, and while everybody interested is invited to attend, it is especially hoped that the active students in French will take this opportunity of expressing by their presence, an appreciation of the efforts of their classmates in so considerable an undertaking.
"I want to give you, my dear Daniel, a bit of advice; don't talk so freely when uncertain of your surroundings." To Armand he says, "My dear boy here is my dahgter, take her and be happy.

The National Committee upon Football Rules has finished its session at Philadelphia. A number of changes have been made to take effect next season.
CHANGES IN FOOT BALL RULES.
First a goal from field will hereafter count only four points, instead of five.
Six men must be in the line at all times.
If seven men are in the line, the first man who receives the ball from the snapper back may run with it providing he goes outside his own tackle's position.
The losing team may have the choice of kickoff or the wind, but not a choice of both.
A team losing twenty yards by penalty shall not be given first down.
These changes will do away with the checker board field between the two twenty-five yard lines as the officials will not be required to decide whether the quarterback goes five yards outside center in running with the ball.
These changes are a sort of a compromise between the adherents to the mass play style and those favoring an open running game. It is said the changes made are essentially the ones proposed by Coach Yost.
MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM.
The School of Fine Arts, assisted by the young ladies' glee club, will give a recital of "Midsummer Night's Dream" at University Hall next Thursday evening. Professor Frazier will give an interpretation of the play, and Mendelssohn's accompanying music will be rendered by the music faculty and the young ladies' club. This is another in the series of interpretative recital of classical works which have been instituted by Dean Skilton this year. It is the last number of the University lecture course.
The Phi Pis will give a party to night in L, O, I. F, hall.
