UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MARCH 2, 1905.
ABOUT W. A. WHITE.
Old K. U. Man and One of Most Prominent Writers to Lecture in Journalism Course.
Among the most prominent University of Kansas men of today is Mr. William Allen White, and his many friends here will be glad to know that he will return to his home in Emporia in a few days much improved in health after a stay of three months at Manitou Colorado. Mr. White has a cottage there, built after his own ideas and when rest is needed he takes his family and goes to the Rockies.
Mr. White was in the University from 1887 until 1892 and was very active in local news

THE HISTORY OF LOUIS J. BELCHER
paper circles. He was editor of the old University Weekly and was also business manager. While here he did considerable writing for outside newspapers which helped pay his expenses. He was very original and those who were here when Mr. White was, and are still here, remember his distinct characteristics. It is said that he used to read all of the exchanges in the Journal office, when working on that paper, before he started to write any copy. This was when he was making trains and chasing locals. But when he got started he got in enough good copy to fill his space in the daily.
Here is a little history that interests most University people: William Allen White, who so sturdily defends Americans in his powerful stories of middle western life,"Stratagems and Spoils," is only thirty-six years old, yet has been for nine years the editor of one of the most prominent papers in Kansas, the Emporia Gazette. He was born in Emporia.
His father, Allen White, a country doctor, was of New England parentage and his mother of Irish descent. Mr. White's parents moved to El Dorado, Kansas, when he was a baby, and there he spent his boyhood and youth. He was graduated from the town high school and later, after a year at the Emporia College, entered a printer's off-
face as devil. He remained there long enough to learn the rudiments of the trade, when he entered the State University at Lawrence.
HIS NEWSPAPER CAREER.
He studied there for four years, working on the local papers as local reporter, printer and editorial writer He took a job as manager of the El Dorado Republican. In 1891 he went to the Kansas City Journal as editorial writer, and in 1892 he was political correspondent at Topeka. When the campaign of 1892 closed, White went to the Kansas City Star as editorial writer.
In 1893, he married Miss Sallie Lindsay of Kansas City, Kansas, and two years later bought the Emporia Gazette. He wrote the famous article, "What's the Matter with Kansas?" in August, 1896, and in the fall of that year brought out a book of stories under the title, "The Real Issue."
A POLITICIAN
White is a practical politician, having been chairman of his ward republican organization, a member of the County Central Committee and amember of the State Central Committee. He works in every department of the Gazette, writes locals, personals, runaway items, local advertisements, makes advertising contracts, attends to the office correspondence, writes the editorials and solicits job work and advertising.
In 1899, the stories which had been running in the various magazines were collected and published. Since then he has devoted himself to writing stories of political life and sketches of a political nature for Scribner's, McClure's, the Saturday Evening Post and other magazines For some of these stories he receives between $1000 and $2000. His very shortest stories bring him several hundred dollars.
Down at Emporia Mr. White has everything his own way from the millinery fashions to the latest styles in houses and the proper way for girls who want to become young women to wear their hair, and, as he puts it, "to hold hands." If a couple in town is guilty of the peculiar outward affection of holding hands the Gazette knows it and something regarding the new members of the "hand holders union" as the Gazette speaks of it, will appear on the third page of the Emporia paper, which by the way has justly won a reputation for being one of the "gossipiest" pages of any newspaper printed in the West. But the Gazette has made the owner hundreds of dollars where other papers in the town lost hundreds of dollars and the Gazette today largely sets the Emporia styles and does more good in its home town than any combination of preachers that occupy the differ-

NEWS OF OTHER COLLEGES.
President Faunce of Brown Declares Games Are Helpful to Colleges and Students.
President Faunce of Brown University, speaking on "Athleties in College Life" at an alumni dinner in Boston, said athletic games were almost a necessity in that such contests brought out the loyalty of the student body in a manner that nothing else could. The large amount of money expended for football and baseball teams, and the newspaper notoriety attendant upon athletics, were unpleasant features which, in his opinion, could not be avoided.
The trustees of the University of Pennsylvania at their meeting on Tuesday, February 7, voted to grant leave of absence for one year from September 1. 1905, to Professor William N. Bates, to enable him to accept the position of Professor of Greek Language and Literature at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens for the year 1905-'06.
Through the generosity of Payne Whitney, captain of the Yale 'Varsity crew of 1898, the boat house at Gale's Ferry will be rebuilt and enlarged, and will be fully equipped in time for the reception of the crew squad in early June. Some changes in the quarters had been planned, but Mr. Whitney's offer will mean more extensive changes than had been hoped for. The dormitory and bath room additions will be especially ample.
DOINGS OF THE CIVILS.
The first engineering society was formed in 1880 and later grew into what was called the Science Club. The first civil engineers had their first organization in 1894, which lasted until 1898. This society proved to be very valuable and was comparatively strong.
Professor Hoad addressed the civil engineering society last Friday afternoon on the "Organization of a Civil Engineering Society at Kansas University."
It is planned to divide the time at the meetings between a speaker who shall make a short address and magazine reviews by individual members of the society. At the next meeting Clyde Baldwin will talk on the "Method Employed by Coast and Geodetic Survey in the Hydrographic Surveying," and E.B.Black will review the "Engineering News." Glen Parker the "Engineering Record," and Oscar Zimmerman, the "Engineering."
The meeting of the Chemical Club tomorrow will be in the nature of a memorial service for Dr. A.B. Prescott, professor of chemistry and dean of medicine and pharmacy at the University of Michigan, who died last Saturday.
VALUABLE MAP BY U. MAN.
Represents Ten Years Work.
The Geology department has about completed a map of the Eastern counties of the state which shows the exact outcroppings of the lime stone formations in the first four tiers of counties from the East. The map is being prepared under the direct supervision of Professor Haworth and represents the result of the Summer field work of the University department for the last eight or ten years.
All the tracings on the map are made from minute data collected by Professor Haworth and his assistants. One man working continuously could not have collected the information which it embodies in less than five or six years constant work.
Professor Haworth is in correspondence with the officials of government survey in regard to the location of our line of the outcroppings in Neosho and Wilson counties. There is a gap in his map, of about five miles in length in Neosho county, which will be traced this week. Professor Haworth feels sure that the government officials are at least five or six miles two far west with their tracings, and the work this week will settle the matter definitely.
PRACTICE BEGUN ON McCOOK.
Plenty of Good Material Out.
Eighteen baseball men met on McCook field Tuesday evening for the first out door work this year.
The men wore the new crimson uniforms and made a fine appearance.
The way they handled the ball shows that K. U., will have a fast nine this year. Capt. J. C. Royer in speaking of the prospects said, "We will have the best outfield this year that K. U., has had in many years. The quick work between the bases and the ability of the short-stop and pitcher to telegraph hot liners to first was wonderful.
Royer, Hoffman, Relihan and Lang are the principal twirlerls while Royer is the best man behind the bat. Four men, Ben Young, Michaelson, Balinger and Ward, are trying for first, while Wilson and Hetherington hold second. Johnson, Brookins and Harlin are the third base players.
Bailey, Dean and Van Cleave are working for the position of short-stop. The fielders are, Sexton and Henderson, left field, Woodford, center field, and Gillette and Neff right field.
Mr. C. W. Bitting, of Wichita, spent Tuesday with his daughter Mary at the Kappa house.

When we consider the strifes of St. Petersburg students all will agree that America is the best of all and that Kansas is the best of America,
Every time the Kaw rises or the ice jams begin to move some of the engineers spend most of their time at the bridge figuring on "its" and "supposings."
If the University of Kansas turns out a few more men like "our" present legislators and a few more Charley Scotts, Billy Morgans, Bill Whites, Frank MacClennans and Ewing Herbets, there won't be a black one in the bunch and Kansas can live on her "rep."
--and boys as Mr. W. A. White. He has helped many boys through school in Emporia and elsewhere and is ever ready to do what he can for a fellow who aspires to be anything and has good habits. Many of the college and town boys in Emporia look upon Mr. White as a fatherly man to whom they take all of their troubles and get the best advice that Kansas can afford, without any charges. If all of the boys and young men that the Emporia editor has advanced to a higher life remain ungrateful to the man that fostered their ambitions and helped them in time of need Mr. W. A. White can never suffer reverses enough to feel the need of a happy house and good living.
A Pan-Hellenic whist league is being organized at the University of Iowa. Last year the league conducted a very successful tournament and a more successful one is anticipated for this year. There is some talk of a Pan-Hellenic whist league here. This would doubtless be the source of much pleasure and a little diversion from dancing would probably meet the approval of most society people in the University.
In balancing our books as officials of the KANSAN the editor-in-chief and members of the board feel under obligation to the printer and have received only the most courteous treatment at the hands of the present force in the KANSAN "shop." Many times the KANSAN has been issued after midnight and some Sunday mornings have found members of the KANSAN staff and the printers closing up shop to turn around and greet the morning sun. A semi-weekly, and one that has only missed one regular day of issue, has been made possible by unpaid for kindnesses of the printer and the printer's force as much as anything else.
Probably no man in Kansas has done so much to foster the ambitions of industrious young men
Of late their has been considerable comment on the sickness in the University. It has never been doubted that Lawrence has been, and is, one of the healthiest, if not the most healthy, of all school towns in Kansas. There is no student body in the state, or in the West probably, that has so little sickness a comparison to the number of students, as the University of Kansas. Fatalities are practically unknown here and because there has been some appendicitis and a few cases of la grippe a few student have seen "Father Time with his Reaper" standing at the foot of the hill every day. Appendicitis cannot be attributed to any unhealthiness of the town nor the water. Few cases of appendicitis were ever suffered here until recently and because four students were operated on within two months there is no need of alarm. We are to be considered fortunate, exceedingly so, because there is scarcely a college in Kansas with one-sixth the enrollment that the University has but what has had one or more deaths in the student body this year. One of the chief reasons of sickness in college is the fact that students are extremely careless regarding their health.

ABOUT W. A. WHITE.
(continued from page 1.)
ent pulpits.
In his home town the boyville author is Bill White, to the average person. In New York he is Mr. Allen White the author and editor. In Emporia he goes up and down the street with his hat, pulled down over his eyes and gives the poorest and richest alike a hearty hand shake. In New York he appears in full dress and dines with men that make literature and men that make millions as well as the chief executive of the United States and the most prominent men in Congress, enjoying the company of all and giving full value for what is received.
Iu his home and in his office Mr. White is always happy and congenial. He greets his office devil and his head man with "Well are you happy this morning?" and never fails to comfort them all alike in time of trouble or any other adversary. When church subscriptions and charitable donations are asked, the Gazette editor is the first man approached and his offerings are always among the biggest and he is ever ready to push along a good cause in his paper, which can kill a show, spoil a man's reputation in a few hours, raise money and can even make the town believe a womrn is pretty or extremely homely just as the Gazette believes and advocates His home is one of the finest, it not the finest, in Emporia. It is furnished more homelike and costly than any other home there. The house is very large and is made of red sand stone brought from Colorado. Mr. White attends to his flower beds and yard himself, seeming to receive much pleasure from the work.
Ever since the School of Journalism was started here an effort has been continuously made to secure Mr. White for a short address but so far the attempt has proven unsuccessful. Prof. Hopkins and Chancellor Strong hope to have Mr. White here before the term closes and next year.
EGGED BY STUDENTS.
Officials In a Ladies' Basket Ball Game Had a Tough Time at Ottawa.
The Ladies' basket ball team of Baker University defeated the ladies' team of Ottawa University at Baldwin Monday afternoon by the score of 19 to 17. The game was fiercely contested and even throughout. Considerable dissatisfaction arose over decisions and L. C Smith, an Ottawa man, who officiated was egged after the game by four Baker students. Two of the ladies of the Ottawa team Were struck by eggs. There is a very bitter feeling among students here tonight over the affair and there is talk of severing all athletics relations with Baker University.

FOUR THOUSAND RUSSIAN STUDENTS STRIKE.
When The University of St. Petersburg, in accordance with the unanimous decision of faculty students, and directors, joined in the great strike inaugurated by similar institutions in Russia, and closed its doors until fall, its action meant to outsiders merely an interesting episode in the struggle, to Russia nerself it meant that a very important part of the Russian people had taken they stand against the policy of the government.
St. Petersburg is the intellectual centre of Russia. Though the University of St. Petersburg has a slightly smaller enrollment than the University of Moscow, in point of energy and progress the University of St. Petersburg is the leading University in Russia. The University of Moscow was founded 1755, the University of St. Petersburg was not recognized as a University until 1819, yet the latter institution has grown so rapidly that its enrollment is only six hundred less than that of the older institution and its present rate of increase is twelve per cent, whereas that of the University of Moscow is not quite five per cent.
It is interesting to notice that of the four departments of the University, Histology and Philosophy, Physical Science and Mathematics, Law and Oriental Languages, the department of Law has by far the largest enrollment. In fact, more than half the students in the University are enrolled in this department. This would seem to show that the younger generation in Russia are preparing themselves to take an active part in the making and interpretation of the laws of the country.
The fact that the enrollment of the University is almost four thousand means that almost tour thousand nomes will be aroused by the return of earnest young people who have had the courage to declare themselves for freedom of speech, conscience, and the press and the convocation of a national assembly, and to the strains of the Russian Marsellaise march out of the imperial University.
The fact that the faculty of the University, almost three hundred of the most progressive men in Russia, has acted in co-operation with the student body means that the common people of Russia are to have the aid and direction of the most intelligent thinkers in the empire in their struggle for liberty.

If more students would mix a little time and prudence in their meals there would be less complaining of being about "all in." One of the worst habits, and one commonly indulged in by students, is to eat at night. Members of the medical faculty here have attributed more sickness this year to that one cause than and other two.

Spring fever is the result of nice weather, buggy rides are the result of Spring fever with a proper combination of something, we are not saying what, the consummation of dad's check's is the result of buggy rides, negligence in the pursuit of study results from the undue use of dad's checks and the ultimate result is that some one goes home on short notice and usually alone. Now the question was asked—Do buggy rides and Spring fevers pay?
"Spooning and higher education wont mix," so says President Jordan of Leland Stanford. Isn't it possible that he "reckoned with insufficient data," as John J. Ingalis would say?
President Jordan, of Leland Stanford University, California, issued a degree last week that no co-editor of that institution would be allowed on the campus in company with young men after dark. In the same proclamation he also made some stringent rules about how many times a week the co editor could entertain company.
Why don't some of the professors ventilate their rooms? It is hard enough to listen to some lecturers under comfortable surroundings, but when the temperature is 85!
In former years, almost every clear Saturday morning in the fall and spring saw the members of the country club going out into the country for a long walk, to Blue Mound, Lake View or some near point of interest; and not until evening would they return, with minds and bodies invigorated for the next week's work. The present generation of students know too little about the pleasure and benefit to be gained from a better acquaintance with the country. Whether it be considered as a field for botanical or zoological study, as the theatre of action of the most interesting events in the early history of Kansas, or simply as a succession of beautiful scenes, the country around Lawrence is unsurpassed in the state. We do not believe, with a certain professor on the hill, that the average student has no appreciation of the beauty of his natural surroundings; but that appreciation needs cultivation as much as the student's muscles need exercise. Participation in regular athletics is impossible for many. For their benefit physically, mentally and aesthetically, why not revive the Country Club?

It is possible to find in every community men and women who imagine themselves privileged characters merely because they have money. These people are not in all cases offensive, but some of them are. The uncultured woman who snddenly becomes rich, is generally a distinctive type, no matter where she may live. It is a well established fact that this established class has an innate desire to break into the most sacred precints of fashionable society regardless of the lack of breeding and education. To mingle with the exclusive 400 seems to be the goal of their ambition, and truth to tell not a few gain the much sought for prize for no other reason than that they have an unlimited bank account. The illiterate rich are nearly always offensive, but now and then one is found who is not. In M1s. 'DeLaney, of Newport' the faecial musical comedy, which Nelville B. Raymond will place on view Thursday evening, March 2, in the Bowersock opera house is a character of a woman ignorant and uncouth, who has recently acquired a large fortune,

THE KANSAN.
OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS.
VOL. I. No. 41
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MARCH 4, 1905.
$ 560,750.
Legislature Outdoes Itself In Generosity.
Maintenance for two years $433,800
Auditorium and Gymnasium $100,000
Furnishing and equipping Law Building $ 15,000
Purchase of Land $ 11,950
Total $560,750
At 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon the House of Representatives passed the appropriation bill giving $560,700 for the support of the University for the next two years, divided as follows:
Maintenance $433,800. for a gymnasium $100,000. to finish the law building $15,000. and $11,950 to buy more land for the University grounds.
The Senate had passed the bill the day before so it goes at once to Govenor Hoch for signature, who will undoubtedly sign it. This is substantially the amount asked for by Chancellor Strong, except $125,000 for a new engineering building, which was cut out in the committee of ways and means. The most extraordinary thing about the passage of the bill was the fact that only two members of the house voted against it.
Chancellor Strong is well pleased with the result and wishes to extend his thanks to the men who have helped the University in their fight. The men who have been foremost in working for a liberal appropriation to the University this year are: Judge Benson, Representative Brady, Senator Dolly, Senator Griffin and Speaker W.R. Stubbs.
When asked about the action of the leg-slature in making appropriations for the University, the Chancellor said:
"I am very much gratified at the action of the legislature in dealing with the University on practically all matters that have come before it. The feeling on the part of the members toward the University was excellent and I was treated with great courtesy and consideration. The management of the University presented the claims of the institution to the committees and the legislature without fear or favor, in a fair manner and in a straight business like way without exaggerating in any respect the amounts necessary for the actual needs of the institution. The committees responded to that method of doing business and I hope it settles for all time the policy of the University in regard to the method of dealing with such matters. The result was that not a dollar was taken off of any of the items except in the case of buildings, where of course it was impossible to speak with the absolute definiteness that is
possible in the case of current expenses."
BILL UP FOR PASSAGE.
No special excitement was expected, and none occurred, when the bill came up for final passage in the house. All the lobbying for and against it had been done in the ways and means committee. Moreover, the day was almost the last of the session, and every effort was being made to finish the work of the session. The house was filled, however, most of the members being at their desks, and the extra space was filled with visitors. Owing to the moving about, the burrying to and fro of the pages, it was almost impossible for any one to hear.
5 Cents per copy.
Walter Roscoe Stubbs, speaker of the House of Representatives, was present, though not in the chair. His picturesque figure was the center of a group of busy statesmen. J. L. Brady and Judge Benson were in their seats Senator Griffin came in for a few moments. Clyde Alphin's mighty voice received the contents of the bill and called the roll for votes. Among the visitors seen were, Mr. J. W. Gleed and President Wilkinson of the State Normal. Chancellor Strong was not in the chamber.
When the roll was ended and the result announced it was found that 95 votes had been cast, 93 for, and 2 against the bill. The dissenting votes came from Representatives Tannehill of Phillipps county and Col."Bill' Hackney of Cowley county. Previous to the reading of this bill Col. Haekney had been enjoying his afternoon nap with his lower extremities stretched along the desk in front of him. When his name was called he arose to explain his vote by saying, that he "considered this to be the grentest case of grand larceny ever perpetrated on the state of Kansas." Having done his duty he sank back in his chair to revel again in dreamland.
Mr. Tannehill explained his vote in a voice that could not be heard across the room. With these exceptions the members of the legislature were friends of the University.
SIG ALPH PARTY.
The Sig Alphs gave a dance at the I.O. O.F. hall last Saturday evening in honor of Miss Marie Lawrence who has been visiting Alice Sinclair of the University for several days. Only the members of the fraternity and their lady friends were present.
SQUAD CHOSEN.
Debating Prospects Good.
The last of the series of preliminary debates was held Wednesday afternoon and the squad of twelve men was chosen by the faculty committee of the debating council. The members of the squad are: R.O. Douglas, J.W.Lapham,J.W.Bender,and Frank Tyler,of X.Y.Z.Society; C.A.Ramsey,Roy Stockwell,B.A.Earhart,R.L.Douglas,and T.D.Rineley,of Snow Society; R.H.Thompson,W.T.Clarkson and J.W.Parker of the law school clubs.
This squad has been divided and each division will hold practice debates twice a week for the next two weeks. About March 18th the final debate will be held in the chapel and the Iowa and Missouri teams will be selected The debate will be open to the public and a small admission will probably be charged to meet the expenses of the Iowa debate which will be held here.
The prospects are excellent for a good strong team this year. Bender, Tyler and Earlart are the only ones who have tried the debates before this year, but some of the new men have showed excellent ability in the preliminaries, and will compare favorably with the older men.
NATIONAL ORATORICAL CONTEST.
Effort to Bring Contest to Kansas University.
A number of prominent students are working on a proposition to bring the second annual contest of the National Oratorical Association to Lawrence. A guarantee of one hundred and fifty dollars besides the expenses of the contestants is required. This amounts to about four hundred dollars, and unless the University is willing to support the contest liberally it will not be possible to have it here.
J. W, Hoel and J. A. Johnson, who are among the leading oratorical candidates stated the case in chapel exercises Friday and appealed to the loyalty of the students to aid the project. They deplored the lack of interest in oratory and debate which is shown in the University and contrasted it with the support at other Universities and at colleges in our own state.
The National Oratorical Association was organized last year and the first contest was held at St. Louis in May. Six state Universities were represented and J.W. Hoel won second place for Kansas. It would mean much for this University if the contest could be held here next May, for our candidate would have a better chance to win honors, and besides the bringing of students from all over the United States to the University would be a good advertisement for the institution.
THE COMING PLAY.
The Dramatic club of the University will present "All the Comforts of Home" Tuesday, March 7th, at Bowersock's Opera house. "All the Comforts of Home" is a thoroughly American play in four acts by Wm. Gillette. It is a society play written in the early 90's.
The plays given by the Dramatic club have all been great successes. This play "All the Comforts of Home" promises to be more successful than any of the plays previously presented. One of the members of the club who took a leading character in the play last year, said last night, "I believe that "All the Comforts of Home" will be the most successful play ever given by the club, and I have seen them all."
The play will be presented by the following cast:

ARE RECOVERING.
Herbert Green, whose arm was broken in the coasting accident on Adams street, has resumed his work in the University. The others who were hurt at the same time are recovering as rapidly as possible.
Coston will be able to walk with the aid of crutches in a few days. His knee eap was badly shattered but it is knitting together nicely and he will probably suffer no permanent inconvenience from the injury.
Laura Marvin, whose arm was broken, has been at home in Fort Scott since a few days after the accident. Her arm is quite strong again, but the elbow joint is stiff and her physician fears that there has been a fracture of the elbow. Miss Marvin has decided not to return to the University until next year.
The athletic schedule with Haskell will be made today.

With this issue of the KANSAN a new management takes control. The change has been made and the men have been chosen in accordance with the merit system which was adopted by the stockholders of the old University Weekly not long ago. This means that the men whose names head the editorial page have done more or less work on the KANSAN this year and have a place on that board for only one purpose, and that is to do newspaper work.
The new management begins under auspicious circumstances, no bitter factional fight has occurred, it has no enemies to get even with or friends to look out for and if it does not succeed the greater should be its condemnation. As to changes and improvements in the paper there will be no startling innovations,
More attention will be paid to details of the paper's make up and each subscriber will receive his paper if the editor-in-chief and managing editor have to deliver it themselves.
Mr. Wirt G. McCarty retired this week as editor of the KANSAN. He was elected to that position last May by a good majority after one of the most remarkable political fights in the history of the University. He has been all his life a newspaper man, having received his early training in that profession with William Allen White at Emporia. Since his connection with the University he has represented the Kansas City Star in Lawrence.
He was among the first to conceive the idea of a daily in the University and was elected on the platform of a "daily and the installation of the merit system." At the first of the year it was found impracticable to issue a daily and he with the help of M. N. McNaughton started the present semi-weekly KANSAN. He leaves the paper with the merit system in a fair way to become permanently installed. Although "Mac," as he is popularly known, and the present editor-in-chief probably
never agreed in a single instance as to the best way to accomplish a result, yet we have always admired his industry and perseverance and would not in any way belittle his services to the KANSAN or underestimate his help to newspaper work in the University.
Mr. McCarty knows more about the running of a University paper than any other man in school at present and has been requested to retain his membership on the board and the new men hope to avail themselves of his experience.
The attempt which is being made to bring the next meeting of the National Oratorical Association to Lawrence should succeed. Twelve Universities from all parts of the United States are in that league and the advertisement Kansas would get from such a gathering would more than repay any monetary consideration. Besides such a meeting need not be a losing venture, financially, for the merchants of Lawrence have always donated liberally to such enterprises and a large audience would undoubtedly come to a contest of this magnitude.
---
Wallace F. Hovey is at present delivering the KANSAN. He is doing this along with his track work and intends to make the long distance men know he is in training before the year is out. Besides, he is delivering the KANSAN as it has never been done before and before many weeks we hope to be able to say absolutely, that the paper was left on the doorstep of every subscriber.
The editor of the KANSAN regards the Graduate Magazine as the best monthly of its kind west of Cornell and if the KANSAN and the Graduate Magazine can co-operate in any way the KANSAN has nothing to lost from the companionship.

Kansas City society has been very much agitated of late over the question, "whether it was better to wear heavy overshoes to a party or take a cab?" University men settle that question every week, some for weal, some for woe.
A certain professor, so we are told, was very much aroused in a faculty meeting, not long ago, over the proposition to award a student a credit for jigging.
The Nebraska legislature has introduced a law limiting the time a monkey can turu a hand-organ to eight hours a day.

There are many of the freshmen who are trying for the 'Varsity team and when that team is picked the remaining men will be organized. The freshman who is trying for pitcher on the 'Varsity nine is Charles Hoffman.
Balinger and U. G. Angney are catchers, Young and Ward are first basemen, B. Gates and H. H. Angney are trying for second base, and Kohman with E. Gates hold third. Van Cleave and Cook are trying for short stop.
There are a score of other men who should be on the field soon. It is probable that games will be played with the Central high school at Kansas City, two with Ft. Scott, and other high schools near at hand.
PHARMACY DANCE.
The Pharmacy students held their March dance in Everett hall last night. Forty couples enjoyed the evening by dancing to the music of Sommer's orchestra last evening in Everett hall. The music was especially suited to a spring party and the eighty students who were present. The next party will be held in the Fraternal Aid hall, April 14th,

TO BREAK RECORD.
The track men this year have a fine chance to win "K's." The three methods by which a man may win the mark in track events are; by breaking a record on McCook field, by winning an inter-collegiate event, or by making 350 points in the pentathalon.
This gives many chances to win distinction. The mile record here is only 4 min. 59 sec., and Driscol, Groene, Barnard, Lucky and Finch are getting in form to shorten the time. Every afternoon the denoters of this strenuous sport emerge from the gym, at five o'clock and run a mile cross country course.
As they have not yet tried for speed it cannot be predicted how they will succeed, but the very spirit in which they are working is a sure forecast of success. Ackerman will probably break the record for shot put in a very short time as he is able to put the shot nearly forty feet in practice.
When planning for a group Photo see Squires for samples and prices.
THE PICTURES OF THE CAST OF THE DRAMATIC CLUB'S PLAY ..."THE COMFORT'S OF HOME"... Will be on exhibition at Starkweather's Shoe Store and at Woodward's Drug Store until Tuesday. They, as usual WERE MADE BY SQUIRES.
DEATH OF DR. H. B. PRESCOTT.
Memorial exercises for the late Dr. H. B. Prescott of Ann Arbor, were held at the University last Friday afternoon.
Prof. Sayre spoke on the personality of Dr. Prescott, Prof. Barber on his scientific contributions and Mr. Havenhill and Mr. Emerson on Prof. Prescott as a teacher from an alumnae standpoint.
A. B. Clarke, 95, formerly manager of Dr. M. S. McCrught's drug store of Oskaloosa, Kansas is now interested in a local telephone exchange at Winchester.
Prof. Prescott, who was Dean of the Medical and Pharmacy Department at Ann Arbor for many, years was always very much interested in the work in that department done at Kansas University and in fact was the means by which the Kansas University got some of its best medical instructors.
Thus far remittances for dues have been coming in steadily. However, the tendancy to slow up has been very noticeable of late, and the corresponding secretary has concluded to send out another circular letter in the near future to those who are still in arrears.
C. E. Moller, '04, of Erie, Kansas, has finished his school teaching and will take a position with W. D. Webb, a prominent druggist of St. Joseph, Missouri.

THE JUNIOR—FRESHMAN PARTY.
The Junior—Freshman party will be given Friday, March 10th, in the Fraternal Aid hall. This party will be one of the most interesting parties this season for two reasons. First, it will be a joint affair by the Juniors and Freshmen, and will be the first of that kind ever given here. Second, it will be for Juniors and Freshmen exclusively. It is rumored that the Sophomores intend to prevent or at least hinder this party as much as possible. But no matter what Dame Rumor says nor what the Sophomores do, it is generally believed that the party will be given at the proper time and place.

Curtis McCoy, the freshman engineer who was operated on fot appendicitis two weeks ago, has almost recovered and will be well enough to be moved in about a week. His father and mother, who have been with him since the operation, returned home to Hiawatha Saturday, but will come back and take their son home as soon as possible. McCoy will return to the University next year.
BAILEY IN OLD TIME FORM.
The track team has begun final practice on the track. The practice on the weights, the high jump and pole vault are practiced in the gym, but the sprinters, hurdlers and long distance men work out doors on the track. Commons, McCoy and Finch are doing the best work on the sprints, although there are a dozen men who may equal them in the next two weeks. Bailey took the long distance men out for training and taught them many valuable lessons in the art of long distance running. He took a dozen of the most promising men and started on a mile run. In starting all of them urged him to go faster. By the time a half mile had been run they were strung out like a band of Indians on the war path and when the three quarters had been reached nearly everyone had dropped out of the race. At the finish, Bailey and J.G. Barnard came in alone. The ten men who dropped out were standing at he start making excuses about their shortness of breath. Bailey was still fresh although he had made the mile in five minutes. It happened that none of the cross-country men were in the race. The next two weeks will tell whether Kansas will have other mile men than than those who run the cross-country runs last fall. Manager Plank intends to take twelve men to represent Kansas at the indoor meet and these twelve men will be picked only a day before the meet.
X. Y. Z. MEETING.
The X. Y. Z. debating society held the most interesting meeting of the year last night, in its club room in Fraser Hall. A lively parliamentary sparring match on the proposition of an oil refinery opened the program. Next came the debate on the question of the open shop. Frank Tyler, Samuel Bartlett, and John Bender spoke in favor of the maintenance of the open shop; O. L. Coleman, Roy Douglas and Wilbur Lapham upheld the trade unions in their demand for a closed shop.
X. Y. Z. had five men in the debating try-outs and landed four of them on the regular debating squad.
"ABSENT MEMBERS' " MEETING.
The members of the Quill club had an "absent member's" day at their meeting last Tuesday. The very excellent program was prepared entirely by Miss Lulu Gardner of the English department.
Among the members on the program were: a poem by Roy Winton, '04, a poem by Prof. H.F.Jones of Colorado University, who was three years ago an instructor in English at Kansas University; a letter from Murray Hill. '04, who is now attending Harvard University; Three Limerics, by Charles Edson, '04, and an original story by Miss Flora Hedger.
Miss Ruby Chrisham returned Wednesday from a week's visit with her parents in Atchison, and with friends in Kansas City.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS.
VOL.I. No.42.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MARCH 9, 1905.
PLANS FOR GYM.
To Equal Any in the West.
Dr. James Naismith, athletic director of the University, has complete plans drawn up for the new $100,000 gymnasium and auditorium and will present them to the Board of Regents at their first meeting. Dr. Naismith's plans were drawn on the basis of the $125,000 appropriation asked' and the size of the building will have to be reduced somewhat, but the general plans will probably stand, except for slight changes the architect may find necessary.
The first floor, which is the gymnasium proper, will be divided only by partitions of wire screen, and will be open to visitors at all times. It will include a girls' and a boys' gymnasium, wrestling, fencing, boxing and apparatus rooms, and can be thrown into one large room by the removal of the screen partitions.
The original plan is for a building one hundred feet by one hundred and fifty, with an elevation of fifty-six feet, including two stories and basement. The basement is devoted to lockers, baths, swimming pools, and a baseball cage.
The second floor is the auditorium which, with the gallery, will have a seating capacity of nearly three thousand people. Besides this, there will be a large faculty room and a handball court thirty feet by forty-five feet. The auditorium will be arranged to accommodate almost any kind of indoor athletic meet. There will be a running track around the gallery which will be one-sixteenth of a mile in length, and by the shifting of seats, any sort of athletic event can be held on the main floor.
GELEBRATE FRIDAY.
Work on the new building will probably be begun some time this summer, and it should be completed by the opening of the academic year of 1906-07. If these plans are adopted, the University will have a gymnasium second to none in the west. Dr. Naismith spent a part of last year visiting gymnasiums of eastern Universities and Colleges, and has embodied the best features of all in his plans. The aim has been to secure the most working space at least cost.
Rogents and Legislators to be Present.
Chancellor Strong announces that next Friday there will be special chapel exercises to celebrate the getting of the big appropriation. The Regents have been invited to be present and the members of the legislature who were especially friendly to University interests.
A number of musical selections will be given and the best chapel exercises of the year.
REGENTS APPOINTED.
W. A. White Succeeds Mr. Converse.
The Senate confirmed Governor Hoch's appointment of the following members to the Board of Regents of the University, Monday afternoon: Thos, H. Potter, of Peabody, Alexander C. Mitchell, of Lawrence, and William Allen White, of Emporia.
The appointments are for the next four years. Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Potter were reappointed, and Mr. White succeeds Chas. N. Converse of Burlington.
William Allen White was a student at the University from 1887-92, and was known as one of the brightest and most energetic men in the institution. He served as editor and as business manager of the old University Weekly. The University has no better friend in the state than Mr. White, and the governor could not have named a man who would serve it more conscientiously.
PATENTS A SYSTEM OF SHIP COMMUNICATION.
Prof. Lucian I Blake, has just returned from Boston, where he disposed of his patents on a system of ship communication to the Submarine Signal Company of that city.
Professor Blake began his experiments in 1890 on the Kansas river and these were afterward carried out by the United States Light House board with very successful results. The fact that this company is one of the largest of its kind in the United States speaks well for the system.
Prof. Blake has been made the consulting engineer of the company.
DEATH OF ROBERT LINDER.
Robert Linder, Junior Law, died Saturday afternoon while being taken to his home at Wathena. He had been ill for two weeks at his rooms on 1217 Rhode Island street, with inflammation of the bowels, but nothing serious was expected until last Thursday when complications set in and an operation was decided necessary to save his life. As the chance of recovery from the operation was so small his father decided to take him home, but he died on the train between Lawrence and Topeka.
The Junior Law class, of which he was a member, adopted resolutions of condolence and sent a copy of them with a beautiful floral offering to his parents.
Linder was 21 years of age and was a native of Missouri. He graduated from the Wathena High school in '04, and entered the Law school last Fall. His parents and friends have the sympathy of the whole University in their bereavement.
COMFORTS OF HOME.
Dramatic Club Gives Fourth Annual Play.
Dramatic Club gives Fourth Annual Play. The Dramatic Club of the University presented "All the Comforts of Home" at Bowersock opera house Tuesday night. This play is an English comedy written by William Gillette and presented first on the American stage in 1890.
"All the Comforts of Home" is a play tounded on the plot of an insanely jealous Englishman who suddenly takes his wife and daughter for a trip on the continent and leaves his mansion in care of a spendthrift nephew. This nephew takes a protege of his, a street urchin to keep him company. They decide to take in roomers "on halvers" to increase their funds. Among the people who come to share the uncle's roof are: a retired produce dealer, peculiarly fond of the fair sex, and his wife and daughter, a gay young actress, a broken down music teacher "the nervous galoot," and a man of leisure. The uncle suddenly returns from the continent and finds these people in possession of his home.
The play was a whirlwind of fun from the time the curtain went up until the last cue was given. Courtships, flirtations and complications followed each other in merry bewildering confusion.
5 Cents per copy.
Wallis D. Wilson, as a coy old flirt, Fred Wullekuhler as Tom the street urchin, Wilber Parker "the nervous galoot," Clara Carr in the role of a precise husband ruler, and J. H. Richardson in a part very difficult for an ameture were plainly the stars of the cast. Solon Smith and Louise Barker, were also exceptionally fine, but then they were all good and every person in the cast did himself proud.
The play Tuesday uight was undoubtedly the best liked play that has ever been given by the dramatic club. It did not give the chance for individual starring that Rosemary did or for the pretty scenes of Alabama but was simply two hours of well played rollicking fun. The dramatic club has been at work on this play ever since before Christmas under the careful training of Prof. E. G. Fraser.
In spite of the stormy night a well filled house greeted the ciub last night.
ART COLLECTION.
Five hundred dollars a year for two years has been granted by the legislature to the Federation of Women's Clubs for the purpose of purchasing photographs of famous works of art, for a traveling collection which is to be under the direction of the authorities of the University.
The collection is to be sent to
the different towns which have womens' clubs, and when not in circulation will be at the University in care of the department of drawing and painting. The Federation already has a collection of photographs worth $375, purchased with money collected by the women's clubs, and the pictures are now in circulation. The most prominent worker in this movement has been Mrs. Aplington of Council Grove.
MUSIC AT THE UNIVERSITY.
The interest in musical affairs, at present, seems to be especially active at the University. The chorus for the May festival is practicing regularly, the Glee Club is planning for Spring engagements and next year's work. The orchestra is preparing to take part in the Commencement exercises.
The policy of the music schools under Dean Skilton's direction is to bring the best musical artists, that our University community can afford, to give the music students an opportunity to perform in public, to render as high a grade and as great a variety of music as possible, and to develop musical life generally at the University.
Last year four piano recitals were given by famous artists. This plan was continued this year, three of the recitals have been given, the fourth will be given April 6, by Miss Mary Wood Chase.
In connection with the musical festival given in May last year, the students had an opportunity to hear famous singers and a great orchestra. The musical forces of our University took an important part in this festival, and are already at work to try to make this year's festival better than the one last year.
Dean Skilton proposes to have the students become acquainted with less accessible music. Last year the music department, assisted by Prof. E.G. Frasier as leader, presented "Mid-Summer's Night's Dream." This year they are talking of giving "Enoch Arden," arranged and set to music by Richard Strauss.
This has only piano accompaniment.
There are lectures given every Wednesday afternoon at 4:00 o'clock, on music history, with playing to illustrate different points. These lectures are open to all students of the University. The musical forces of the University are planning to give a famous opera next year. This is to be "Der Freischutz" by Weber.
Professor Wiley, instructor in violin, has instituted the Chamber concerts, concerts given by piano, organ, violin and cello. There will be five of these concerts given this year, two of which have already occured.

Surely the cup of the University runneth over; we have a handsome new Gym. in sight, the maintenance fund has been increased, the Geological survey received its appropriations, and to cap our joy, William Allen White was appointed regent.
There has been a lamentable increase in the tendency to cut classes this term, especially since the weather has become so warm. The greatest number of culprits are in the Engineering School. The college students cut because they haven't their lessons, while the Engineers claim that they must cut at least one class a day in order to get the other two. Perhaps the Engineers are not entirely to blame for slighting some classes
What is the matter with the Law school. Only two men from that department have places on the debating squad? Heretofore, fully half of the debaters of the University have been law students and it might be added that the strongest men who have ever represented Kansas have been from that school.
The Law schools of Nebraska, Michigan, Harvard and Missouri furnish a large part of the debaters of their respective Universities and it should be so here. Men who can make a good brief of a proposition for debate will find no trouble in writing a satisfying law brief and he who can speak logically, entertainly, and convincingly to an audience in an inter-University debating contest, will not be ill at ease before a jury. No oratory, no bluff goes in these interstate debates. The members of the law school should not neglect the opportunity, here offered, to get the training in the things they will most use in after life.
The precedent which the present Legislature has made will result in good to the University for years to come. There will in the future be no need of uneasiness by the University
management as to a stingy appropriation. It marks an era in University progress; a change from the "how little can they get along with" policy, to "the how much do they need" administration. This Legislature was the first of Kansas Legislatures to adopt the methods of the Representative body of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Illinois in dealing with their State Universities.
The law makers of Kansas will not find their confidence misplaced or receive ill returns from their money. The University of Kansas will in the future, even more than in the past, continue to give training to the men who stand highest in the esteem of the people of the state.
RESOLUTIONS OF SYMPATHY.
At a meeting of the Junior Law class Monday Frank J Merrill, R. C. McCormick and C. A. Spencer were appointed to draw up resolutions of sympathy on the death of Robert N Linder They are:—"WHEREAS, Death has suddenly entered our ranks and ruthlessly taken away our esteemed fellow student and be beloved classmate, Robert N. Linder, therefore,
"BE IT RESOLVED, In order to show our appreciation of his high moral character, his general good will towards his fellow students, and his serious pursuit of knowledge; that it is the sense of each member of the class of 1907, that his death is a personal loss and that each hereby extend his hearttelt sympathy to the sorrow stricken parents and loved ones.
"BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED. That an expression of the gratitude of this class be conveyed to Mr.E.O.Dietrick, R.A.Norris, and Wm.Crotinger, and to Mr. and Mrs.Gufler, who so far as human agency can assist, alleviated his suffering, administered to his wants from the day of his affliction to that of his dissolution.

GLEANED.
It may not be known how the Western compare with the Eastern colleges in football, but the success of Buckner of Nebraska, at Harvard this year shows the status of debating in the two sections.
Among the many things Kansas University had to be thankful for last week, not the least was the fact that she was not in that Oratorical mix-up at Wichita.
There is one man in the University, who agrees with Senator Noftzer, that a University audience is the hardest audience in the world to speak to.
A professor greeted a student the other day who had been coming late to class with "It would hardly be right to call you the deceased Mr. — although it would be entirely proper to call you the late Mr. —."
The New York World says the students of Chicago University have a new rendition of the Doxology:
Praise John from whom oil blessings flow:
ings now,
Praise him oil creatures here below;
Praise father, son and holy ghost—
Praise oil of them, but john the most.
A prominent society man of the University, in looking over his programmes the other day, found that so far this season he had danced 197 numbers with the same girl. Adding 50 more to this to complete the social season, he will have before the year is ended, danced 247 times with this same girl. Granting that the course of true love runs smoothly and he does not lose his pleasure in the light fantastic, at the end of four years her name will appear on his programmes; giving 6 minutes to a dance, for 5,928 minutes, or $98 \frac{1}{2}$ hours, or a little over four days his arm will have encircled her waist, not counting Sunday nights.

Undoubtedly the best high-class comedy presentation of the season, will be the night of Thursday March 9, when "The Rivals" will be presented, with Joseph Jefferson, Jr., and William W. Jefferson and their "all star" east at Bowersock opera house. Joseph Jeff rson took up Sheridan's "Rivals" in 1876 and altered and condensed it to meet the requirements of modern theatre-goers who, as he explains, had become adverse to abundant dialogue unless it reveals plot and who demand entertainment for the eye rather than for the ear. The production met with success and in '76 was invited to produce it with the other great plays at the big Dramatic Festival in Cincinnati. Mr. Jefferson has been playing Bob Acres over twenty-five years.

STATE GRATORICAL CONTEST.
W. J. Broadie Formerly of the University, Won First Place.
---
The State Oratorical Contest was held this year at Wichita, and M. E. Broadie, a former University student and debater, now of Southwest Kansas College, took first place, Ludwig Katterfield of Washburn, second, and E. E. R. Fey of Baker, third place. Fairmount and Southwestern Kansas students turned the fun before the oratory began. The "scrap" varied from that of former contests only in that it took place inside instead of outside the building. Fairmount started it by planting their pennants in the faces of the Winfield students from the platform of the Auditorium. The students from Winfield resented the insult and attempted to silence the Fairmount rooters, and it seems made quite a success of it, though they lost their own colors during the melee. After it was over, the inventory showed: forty-two footlights broken, several pieces of scenery marred, "The Shadow Song," that was to have been rendered by a Winfield lady, despoiled so that it hardly left a shadow, the large drop curtain badly damaged, and, incidentally, several eyes.
In the face of all these exciting times, Kansas can well afford to be a smiling and satisfied outsider.
FRESHMAN MEET.
An athletic contest will be held by the freshman class in the gymnasium on Friday, March 10, at 3:30 p.m. The events will be, high jump, fifteen yard dash, pole vault, high and low hurdles, rope climb, fence vault, and shot put. The purpose of this contest is to establish a freshman record. All the boys of the class are urged to be present and to take part in the contest in order to make it a success.

The honorary system may be instituted in the Missouri State University. It is left to the student's honor that he will not attempt to cheat at examinations. Each student makes a pledge that he will uphold the system. The honorary system has been in force at Princeton for some time and has proved a success at that institution. If this system be placed in the Missouri University, the outcome will be looked forward to with interest. Should it prove to be a success, then, no doubt, some of the sister states will follow Missouris' example.
Waseda University, Japan, has challenged Stanford University to a game of baseball to be played probably in San Francisco. The Standford athletics have welcomed the challenge and are trying to arrange additional games for the visitors with California University.' It is modestly explained that Waseda University has won the intercollegiate championship on the Japanese diamond, and wishes to test its skill against American talent. The Stanford men are not over confident, for it is a fact that on last Fourth of July, the Yokohoma nine, composed of Americans, and most of them old collegians, met a team of Tokio students. The chunky little men from Tokio played ball so deftly and nimply and daintily that when the smoke cleared the husky and confident Americans found themselves beaten to the tune of twenty-six runs for Nippon and six for U.

JUNIOR-FRESHMAN PARTY.
Last night the first joint class party in the history of the University was given in Fraternal Aid hall. The freshman was there with an '08 girl, he was there with an '06 girl, and he was there by his "little lonesome;" the junior—well, there wasn't any of them that weren't there. Some came with a junior lady and some took a freshman girl under their protection.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MARCH 11, 1905.
The grand march was led by Miss Myrtie Fox and the junior president, a close second came Miss Miller and the freshman leader.
About seventy couples were present, not a bit too crowded, nor did the large hall seem at all unfilled. Newhouse's orchestra furnished the music. The programs were neat affairs with the numerals '06 and '08 upon the cover.
Punch and wafers were served throughout the evening. Everyone present last night agreed that it was the best class party of the year and that the juniors and freshmen had set a precedent for all parties in the future.

Celebrates the Appropriation.—Hon. Chas.F. Scott, A.C. Mitchell and Others Speak.
The University chapel was crowded to overflowing Friday morning with students and visitors filled with enthusiasm and jubilant over the generosity of the last legislature. So much University spirit has not been manifested for months, as that which permeated the student body on Friday. It would have been fitting, indeed, if the whole legislature could have seen the spirit with which their liberality was greeted by the University; if every member could have heard the old "Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, K. U!" ringing through Fraser Hall; if they could have appreciated the gratitude of the students and their determination to make the most of the increased accommodations
Chancellor Strong, the man who, by his fair and conscientious work among the legislators has done more than any other men in Kansas to place the needs of the University in their proper light, was greeted with round after round of applause as he mounted the platform. Not until the pealing tones of the organ filled the chapel, did the outburst subside.
After the sacred exercises, Chancellor Strong took occasion to mention son of the men who, in the legislature and out of it, have been instrumental in securing the last appropriation. They are not by any means, the only friends the University has, nor are they in any sense the only men who have worked for it, but they are among the number to whom the University should be especially appreciative.
Senator Miller, chairman of the Senate ways and means committee, to which the appropriation was referred, stood fairly and squarely for liberal appropriations for all the state institutions. The Chancellor expressed his obligation to Senator Miller for the part he took in the matter: Among others whom the Chance lor named in this connection are Senator Griffin of Jefferson county, who worked continually for the best interests of the University; Senator Noftzger of Harper county; Speaker Stubbs of the House, an old student of the University; Representative J. L. Brady of Lawrence, who worked night and day and did some things that no other man in the state could have done. Others are Representatives Morgan, Young, Plummer and Rochester, all former students of the University and Dr. Glasscock of Kansas City.
The Chancellor then introduced Mr. A.C. Mitchell of this city, recently reappointed regent. Mr. Mitchell was enthusiastic-
ly greeted by the students, and said in beginning, "I shall always feel rewarded for my efforts on behalf of the University by such recognition as you have given me," "I think," he continued "that Chancellor Strong has done more than all other men in Kansas to secure the last appropriation, for he simply made the legislators see that the University only asked what was absolutely needed. The legislature did the rest."
The Chancellor called Dr. Naismith, who explained briefly the purpose and extent of the plans for the new building in so far as they are complete. He raid further, "If our athletes were the only ones to profit by a new gymnasium, the legislature could hardly be justified in making such an appropriation at at this time, but when we consider that it is going to make all the students better and stronger men and women, the wisdom of the act is apparrent."
In introducing the next speaker the Chancellor said, "I am going to call upon the man who has done more for the University in the last legislature than any other in Kansas who is not a member of that body—Mr. Clyde Miller, a graduate of this institution."
"Mr. Miller said, 'I came not here to talk,' I came to 'jubulate.' I am not an orator, but as an all round 'jubulator' I am a work of art." Continuing he said, "I think the University has passed the crisis. I heard that ten years ago, and it was true then but I think in a much greater degree now. When you consider that the Senate was unanimous on the bill and that only two representatives voted against it, you can but realize that the time of whittling away educational appropriations has passed. From now on the state institutions will get the funds they need."
Chancellor Strong introduced Hon. Chas. F. Scott congressman at large, for ten years a member of the board of regents of the University, and one of its staunchest friends. Mr. Scott said:
"I was graduated from this institution twenty-four years ago last June. That hardly seems possible from my youthful appearance, but when I tell you Prof. Haworth on my left was in my class it seems easy of credence. On that occasion I wore my first frock coat, it cost $17.49 and was bought at Steinberg's Clothing house. There were twenty people in my class. ten boys and ten girls, and as we came stepping down the

It is gratifying, to say the least, the way the presest KANSAN board is helping on the paper. They seem to be on the staff for only one purpose and that is to work. This is the right spirit and if it continues, there is no reason why, by the end of the year, the KANSAN should not be a representative college paper. If there is any one thing the present editor wishes to impress upon the reporters of the KANSAN, it is, that they have a vital concern in the paper, and that its welfare rests with them. Nor will it be a laborious duty to be on the KANSAN; a half hour a day, rightly used, will be all that can be asked. It is planned, if the board desires and the faculty committee consents, to allow towards the end of the year, two members of the staff in turn to get out a paper. This is the system used in the Eastern college dailies and is the best producer of newspaper ability.
There are at present some four or five cases of typhoid fever among the students of the University. Although this is a serious situation and one that calls for care and attention, no undue alarm need be felt. Prof Bailey and Dr. Hoxie are at present engaged in making an analysis of the water and milk used by the affected people and will, in a short time be able to give more definitely the cause of the infection.
In the meantime, the only safe course is to notice carefully the water supply of the various households where you eat or room. Prof. Bailey says that the safest water to use, as far as is known at present, is that furnished by the city.
Friday's chapel exercises were undoubtedly the best of the year; everybody felt good, from Chancellor Strong to the veriest freshman. The speakers were witty and there were no lessons to worry or make afraid.
The enthusiasm, the inspiration that is in the very air when
such a body of students assemble with one impulse and one emotion, is what makes a University.

Phi Delta Theta won the cup in 1902, Phi Kappa Psi won it in 1903 and strengthened their right to keep it permanently by defeating Phi Delta Theta decisively in 1904.

FOR GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
The appropriation of three thousand dollars a year for the state geological survey insures the continuation of the summer field work of the University Geological department for the next two years. For a time it was rumored that the appropriation was in danger, and the friends of the measure were anxious about it, for its failure would mean the giving up of the more practical part of the University work in geology.
The bill provided for the publication of a lithographic map of the geological formations in the state. The state geologist, Prof. B. Haworth, is also instructed to prepare a special report on the gas and oil fields, and to order published 5,000 copies of the annual report for the years 1906-07.

Prof. W. C. Abbott gave an interesting lecture to the members of the Graduate Club Wednesday night, on the subject of English Universities, discussing them from mediaeval times to the present. He said in part, that there was a vast difference between the Universities of England and America. The English University is composed usually of many colleges, often widely scattered and each having a government of its own, though dependent, in a measure, on a body that was supposed to bind them together. The mediaeval students were early, seeming to delight in tearing things up. Often when the teacher became distasteful to them, they either threw him out or migrated, taking most of the college with them. The professors of that day led quite a gentlemanly life, spending most of their time hunting and gaming.

Many of the old rules are deemed necessary at the present time by the older professors, as for instance; the student must not wear a certain kind of sword; he must not ride horses around the building; must have no musicians or prize fights in his room nor ride in a chariot at a fast pace through the streets
Prof Abbott's college, Baliol, was the first organized in England, though then there were but few to attend, and not much attention was paid to education.
After the second period of the reformation, the courses of study were modified to include mathematics and many of the more modern studies that were supposed to be almost magical in the early times. Even now all teaching is done by lectures given at stated periods. The principal work of the student is to read books and write essays on them to be handed in once a week or so. The work during the school period is not hard, for the student must do most of it during vacation.

aisle in pairs the orchestra played a wedding march. When the lawyers came forward in cap and gow it plryed "Forty Thieves," that was where we got even. But no two of us ever contracted to walk through life together; not that we didn't love each other but because we did not wish to deprive twenty other people of the benefits of what we had learned here. The four years I spent here and which culminated in my graduation were superlatively the best of my life. "They shaped and molded my whole after career."
"After I left the University I was permitted to serve my Alma Mater for ten years in the capacity of regent. I am only a congressman now.
To say something about the appropriation, to celebrate which our jubilee is about this morning, I agree that the reason we have got what we asked for in this legislature is because of the personal work of Chancellor Strong.
Last July he had his campaign carefully planned and from then until January he pushed it with might and main.
It was hoped more friends o the University could be present at this the best chapel exercises of the year, and to this end an open invitation was extended to the regents and legislators, but only a few could be present.
The two most popular musical organizations of the University, the Orchestra and the Glee Club, rendered some very high class music and added greatly to the enjoyment of the program. These clubs never fail to call out the support of the students.

CHANGE IN ATHLETIC MANAGMENT.
There is a rumor afloat as to some important changes in athletic management in the near future. We hope we will be able in our next issue to give the facts of the case.

RULES FOR DEBATE.
Continued from page 1.
shall pay the necessary local expenses, including hotel bill of the visiting team, and all expenses of the judges, provided however, that if either side desire a judge who. resid outside a radius of one hundred miles from place where contest is held, the side naming him shall pay excess railway fare over one hundred miles. Sec.2 Each visiting team shall pay their own transportation expenses.
TRACK TEAM PICKED.
The final tryouts for the track team were held Thursday after noon and Saturday morning, and the K. U. team is now in final training for the meet next Friday. A large number of students were present at the tests and great enthusiasm prevails because of the fine showing of the men in every event.
There was great competition in the high jump but Frank Parker of Kansas City won first place without even touching the bar once during the contest. Carl Young was the only man who really made Parker exert himself as all other competitors dropped out at five feet.
In the shot-put, Ackerman, Davies, Morrow, McCoy and Foster entered the competition. Ackerman won the first place and Morrow second, with Davies a close third.
Butler won first place on the pole vault, while Justice and Foster tied for second place. The sprints and distance runs were to be on McCook field at 9 o'clock this morning, but the weather was too cold and some of the try-outs took place on an improvised track in the gym. Three men was the limit for the one run as the track was only two feet wide on the sides and it took thirty-two laps to make a mile. The number of turns was so great that no regular speed could be maintained. Young won the quarter with Finch second; Driscol won the half-mile and mile runs, with Adams second on the mile run.
Three men, Bailey, Barnard and McReynolds run the two-mile course which contained 256 square corners to be turned. Bailey won in 6 min.,11 sec., with Barnard only a rod behind.
In no event in the entire contest did the winner do anything near his best. When all competitors dropped out the event was declared won. The only events in which the gym was large enough to afford sufficient room were the high jump and shot-put, but when Parker had cleared the last bar by several inches and Young had failed, the contest was declared over. Ackerman merely played with the shot and surely has done better than 37ft. 2 in. in practice.
PHARMAGY ALUMNI NOTES.
It is now over two months since the circular concerning annul dues was sent out, and the KANSAN has been sent to all regardless of the fact that many were still in arrears. During the week, arrangements have been partially made whereby the KANSAN may be sent to paid up members semi-weekly. If the plan is carried out, it will probably go into effect after March 18th. After that date the KANSAN will be sent only to members who have paid dues for 1905. The Alumni will please give this proposition their earliest attention, that they may not miss any issues of the paper.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS.
VOL. I. No. 44
MANAGER PLANK RESIGNS.
Will Remain Until July.
U. S. G. Plank, for two years athletic manager of the University, tendered his resignation to the athletic board last Saturday, and will sever his connection with the athletics of the University next July. When Mr. Plank offered his resignation, he asked that it take effect at once but at the request of the board he will have charge of the athletic work for the remainder of the year.
There is absolutely no foundation to the report that the athletic board took exception to Mr. Plank's close management of the athletic fund. He could not agree with the board on the matter of policy and method of procedure, and offered his resignation in the interest of harmony in the board. The funds have in
THE DISTRICT SUPPORTER.
every case been conscientiously used according to the direction of that body.
Mr. Plank came to the University two years ago after a successful management of the athletics at Haskell Institute where he was disciplinarian. He has been at all times most conscientious in his conduct of University athletics, working for what he believed to be the best interests of the institution. This year, as the athletic board did not feel in a position to conduct a season of basket ball, Mr. Plank took charge of the team and managed the games on his own responsibility, and guaranteed to finance the team out of his own private account.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MARCH 16, 1905
No plans have been made as to the athletic management for next year,and probably nothing definite will be done for some time.
SOPHOMORE PARTY.
The Sophomores will give another party at Fraternal Aid hall, Friday night, March 17. The party promises to be a large and successful one in spite of the fact that many students will be at the track meet in Kansas city on that evening. The tickets will be seventy-five cents.
THE TYPHOID SITUATION
The prevalence of Typhoid symptoms among students has caused a great deal of concern in the past few days and the heads of the chemical and medical departments are making every effort to locate the source of the dangerous germs. There are now about a dozen cases of typhoid among students of the University, some of them quite serious. The first symptoms of the disease appeared in the 1300 block between Louisiana and Vermont streets but the cases are now scattered all over town. The attempts to trace the germs to the flood or milk supplies of the boarding clubs has not been successful. The City water supply is comparatively pure, and the phrscians do not think that can be the cause of the trouble.
Professors Barber and Bailey are making careful analysis of the water from the cistern just west of Fraser hall, which supplies all the drinking tanks in the University. Professor Barber said yesterday that while there is some organic matter in the examination of the water reports that he found no Typhoid bacillus but that there was an unusual number of bacteria present which is a dangerous symptom and that the only sate method is to boil the water for family use.
Chancellor Frank Strong: -
TYPHOID ANALYSIS.
At your request I have made some analysis of the City Supply water and of the Cistern water used at the University. The analysis of the City supply show that while it contains considerable organic matter, and on some days more than was present in an analysis made several years ago by Dr. Bartow, yet on the whole the increase is not marked enough to render the water suspicious. The percent of nitrogen as nitrates, which would indicate previous contamination with sewage, is not higher than usmai. From all the determinations made and considering the usual character of the water, it does not contain enough organic matter to render it unsate for domestic use. It would be safer however, in any city, to boil the water. If after boiling, the water is allowed to settle, and the clear liquid is drawn off, this process will also precipitate considerable of the iron, and thus make the water have a better appearance.
In regard to the cistern water used for drinking, the chemical analysis shows that it is very free from organic matter of recent origin, but the presence of some nitrates and phosphates, indicates possible contamination at an earlier date. If the roofs could be kept absolutely clean, this would afford an ideal source of supply for drinking purposes.

KANSAS GONFIDENT.
Track Team in Excellent Condition.
On Friday night in Convention hall, Kansas City, Kansas will meet Missouri in the fifth annual track meet. Our boys are in good form, everything is ready as far as arrangements are concerned and the only thing needed is a crowd of loyal K.U. supporters with spacious lungs and yards of colors.
The results of former contests
YEAR PLACE M.S.U. K.U.
1901 Columbia 61 27
1902 Lawrence 71 25
1903 Columbia 75 29
1904 Kansas City 45 40
Bailey and Barnard are ready to guide Jackson of M. S. U. on his exploring expedition around the two mile course. Butler and Morrow make a team that is sure to win the high and low hurdles from Six and Salisbury of the Tiger team. Butler also has great ability in pole vaulting and will win this event easily. Driscol, who will run the mile and half-mile makes a specialty of surprises, so Ellis the fast Missouri can depend on an interesting time in the half-mile run. Anderson, Parker's M.S.U. rival weighs 190 pounds and will be an easy mark for the Kansas City boy.
M. S, U. lost a fast man and a sure winner in Bushyhead, the fleet-footed redskin who ran away from K. U. last year. Instead of Bushyhead, Dance and Wilson will start on the sprints with the K. U. men. Finch is in fine condition for the fifty yard dash and McCoy delights in leaving a trail of dust on the 440 yard course. The management will not give out the exact man who will run each sprint and there may be surprising changes in the arrangement of runners. The mile relay race is a very uncertain affair but it will not be dreaded by K. U.
Ackerman is in good form. He has practiced with so many different sized weights in his preliminary training that vague rumors as to his ability to put the 16 lb. shot over forty feet have reached the daily papers and Anderson of M.S.U. is simply working overtime to meet the requirements. The fact is that no one except Dr. Naismith and Ackerman himself, knows how far he can put the leather covered lead.
5 Cents per copy.
Last year everyone who could raise the cash went down to Kansas City Thanksgiving, and a glorious victory was the result. The track team has trained in cramped quarters during the cold weather and has spent the afternoons during the warmer weather running over rough roads for the glory of old K. U. They are to compete with a team which has had the advantage of a season's indoor work and which will be backed by 800 students from Columbia who come to Kansas City fully expecting to glory in another defeat of their rival.
MUTINY.
Let this be looked at with awe by future generations.
On a bright March morning in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and five, a crowd of brave engineers did then and there cut the qualitative analysis class of one Hamilton Perkins Cady. They declare that forbearance was no longer a virtue and that they were driven to this last recourse in desperation. They appeal to future generations for vindication of a precedent which will rank beside the student uprising in darkest Russia.—By one who wasn't there.
LOCATION OF THE NEW GYM.
While the location of the new gymnasium has not yet been decided upon, Dr. Naismith has studied three or four sites which will be presented to the board of regents at their next meeting. The purchase of additional land, which the last legislature prescribed for, makes the site for the new building a rather more difficult one to settle than it would otherwise be. At present the best situation would be, says Dr. Naismith, just north of the museum. Other locations thought of are, McCook field and one or two sites near the Chemistry building.
The fact that the new building is to be of as much importance as an auditorium as a gymnasium makes it necessary that it be situated as near the center of the campus as possible. Just now that place would be near the museum, but the rapid growth that the University will doubtless make, in the next few years, must be taken into consideration as a good site now might be a poor before long.
IMAGE OF ELECTRIC CURRENT.
H. T. Pigg and Antonio Tommasini, senior engineers have invented and constructed a seyllo graph in the electrical engineering laboratory in connection with their thesis work. Their invention shows the irregularity of the electromotive force in an ordinary current. By a number of mirrors and reflectors, a perfect representation of the current and the electromotive force with its irregular waves is thrown on a screen in a darkened room.

The engineers are planning a party to be given at Fraternal Aid hall the 25th. This is the first party, other than the annual stag banquet, ever given by the engineering school.
Edmund and Wharton Bartholow who have been very sick with typhoid fever at the home of their aunt on Massachusetts street are rapidly recovering and will be back in school soon.

Every Kansas University student and professor, who can possibly do so, should be in Convention hall at Kansas City next Friday night. This will make the fifth time that we have run, jumped, and hurdled with the Missourians. In three of these contests we have been beaten so badly that we were simply outclassed, but last year we took a remarkable advance and were beaten by only five points. If we increase in like proportion this year, and those who are wise say we bid fair to, we will win our first Track meet with M. S. U. on next Friday night. "The idea is" to be on hand when the event takes place.
At the last board meeting of the KANSAN it was unanimously voted that any member of the staff who absented himself from two consecutive board meetings without good excuse that such absents would count the same as a week of non-work. That is if a man tailed to attend two consecutive meetings and did not hand in any stuff for a week his name would be dropped from the staff. This was done because a creditable paper cannot be issued unless the workers can be seen at least once a week. The time of meeting has been so arranged that no one can have a good excuse for non-attendance.
The resignition of U. S. G. Plank as manager of athletics is a blow to those interests in the University of Kansas. For two years he has held a most trying position. He has not pleased all but he has come as near to doing it as that power is given to the ordinary mortal. Any differences he may have had with the Athletic Board, have been differences only of opinion and judgment. No one but regards him as scrupulously honest and his bitterest enemy never dared assail his veracity and integrity.
Who his successor will be or where he will come from, no one seems to know. But whoever he may be, athletic work cannot
start off as nicely next year as i we had the old manager back. It will take a year, anyway, for the new man to become acquainted with the ins and outs and the tact and diplomacy necessary to fill a position which makes a man a buffet between a board on one hand and the general student body on the other.

Holds out a greedy hand.

How much money I will get

When I've settled every debt,
I fear 't will be but little,
Then let me write home fyr more,
It's no wonder, is it, paper.

It is with reluctance and regret that Thanksgiving as a day for home turning and family reunions is being destroyed, and especially the attitude taken toward the matter by the colleges in destroying these characteristics. It is recommended that the last football game be held on Saturday preceding Thanksgiving, as at eastern colleges."

ELEGTRIGAL ENGINEERS TO TAKE TRIP.
Do it NOW. Have Squires make your picture.
The Senior Electrical engineers, accompanied by Professor Freeman, will leave Saturday for Kansas City to visit the electrical apparatus and appliances of the Metropolitan street railway of that City. This trip is taken in connection with the thesis work required of the Senior Engineers, and is an annual affair.
They spend two days at Wolcott, a suburb of Kansas City where the power house and electrical plant of the Leavenworth and Kansas City Electric railroad is located. They make tests here for the Company in regard to amount of coal and water used and the maximum capacity of the plant. They will take reading every half minute of the electro-motive force required and will estimate the exact expenditure of the plant for an average day. Hitherto the Company has employed experts from the East to make their annual tests and the fact that they have recognized the importance of our engineering department is a credit to the work done here.
On Wednesday the boys will commence their inspection of the Metropolitan Company's shops and will spend the remainder of the time there.
The class is composed of Hull, Pigg, Tommasina, Quiring, Maxwell, Barton and Morrow.

Plans are now under consideration for a special anniversary program on Schiller day, May 9. Several ot the Poet's lyrics will be used in the musical part of the program. A few scenes from his dramatic works will probably be given.

A TENNIS TEAM.
The Spring weather has renewed interest in tennis. Some of the students, and Professor's Carruth, Abbott, Higgins and Ashton are planning to lay out new courts for the use of the University. When talking to a reporter on the subject Professor Higgins said: "Of late years tennis has received very little support here. And the only way that tennis can be successfully played as a University sport, is by the organization of a tennis club under the direction of the Athletic Board, with regular membership fees for its support. In this way tournaments could be arranged and the best men picked to represent K. U. in inter-collegiate contests
The athletic board makes a standing offer of the space south of McCook field, to any club of eight members who will lay out tennis courts on those grounds. K.U. once boasted of many skillful players; Prof. Higgins, Russell Whitman, Carrol and Sidney Griggs have brought honor to K.U. in tennis tournaments. The best players among the students are: Gentry, Draper, Caton. Purton, Smith and Dubb.
R. C. Ross of the class of '06, has been ill for a few days with typhoid symptoms. He was taken to the hospital Satusday but his physicirn thinks he will be out in a few days.

GLEE CLUB CONCERT.
The University Glee Club never sang better than it did at its concert last Friday evening in the High School auditorium. Every seat was taken and the enthusiastic audience called for two and three encores for each number on the program. Half the proceeds went to the Club and half to the High School Athletic Association under whose auspices the concert was given Judging from the unusual number of encores called for and the smiles of everybody at the close of the concert, our Glee Club has added another one to its long string of "hits."
The club will give six or seven concerts this Spring. The manager has received letters from several Kansas towns including Tonganoxie, Ottawa and Kansas City, Kans., arranging for the concerts—the first of which will be in about two weeks.
The club is resting from rehearsals this week, but will resume next Tuesday. The members are now in good training and will give one of the finest musical programs ever given by the University club at the annual Spring concert, May 4.
BASKET BALL CAPTAIN FOR NEXT YEAR
At a meeting of the basket ball team held Wednesday morning, Milton Miller was elected captain for the next season of 1905 and 1906. He was one of the strongest men of this season's team and will serve faithfully and well. Arrangements were also made relative to having the team's picture taken for the annual.
There will be no special excursion Friday, but both roads have made a rate of $1.60 for the round trip. Tickets may be had today and are good for the return on any trains until Sunday night. The roads already have an open rate of $1.60 on for the grand operas in Kansas City and could not cut below this rate. The Union Pacific has offered to run a special train from Kansas City to Lawrence Friday night if a sufficient number desire to return at that time.
Paul Gilmore, who made such a big hit in "The Mummy and the Humming Bird" last season, will be seen here in the near tuture in the same play. Solon Summerfield, formerly of the Company.
KANSAS METERORITES.
The Only Collection in the West.
The University museum contains the only collection of Kansas meteorites in the West, and includes specimens of five different meteoric falls, worth from $2,000 to $3,000. The largest specimen weighs 218 pounds and the smallest less than one pound.
The meteorites are the private property of Dr. F. H. Snow, who started his collection fifteen years ago when a large number of what are known as Pallasite iron meteorites was found in Kiowa county, Brenham township. No one knows when the meterorites fell, and they were only discovered when the sod was being broken. The farmer on whose land they were found hffd no idea that the curious stones had any market value and gave specimens to his friends as curiosities, but his wife conceived the idea of their origin and the news-spread over the state. Dr. Snow went at once to Kiowa county but Professor Craigin of Washburn college had been there and secured all as he thought, 2,000 pounds for $400, and shipped them to New York. After a little search Dr. Snow secured five specimens that had been overlooked, one of them weighing 218 pounds. He was offered $1,500 for this specimen by the Austrian museum at Vienna a few years ago, but refused, wishing to keep it in Kansas.
The next meteorites Dr. Snow secured was a stony Sidercolite which fell in Washington county about mid-day early in the summer of 1890. Although the sun was shining brightly when it tell, the brilliancy of its light was noticed for over a hundred miles around. Dr. Snow and Prof. Craigin secured the meteorite which weighed 144 pounds for $800. and divided it. Parts of it are now in Dr. Snow's possession.
Another specimen Dr. Snow secured, fell near Tongonoxie, about fifteen miles from Lawrence. A University student secured it from the farmer on whose farm it fell, for $2.50 and he sold it to Dr. Snow for $250—enough to pay the rest of his University course. Only a slice of this meteorite, which was solid iron is in the collection at present.
Dr Snow has steadily refused to dispose of the meteoric stones under any conditions which will take them away from the University as he feels that the place for them is in the museum of the Sunflower institution. No one has felt dispased to donate any such specimens to the University and it is owing to Dr. Snow's enterprise that the few remaining are not now resting in European museums. As Kansas grows in wealth the Board of Regents may feel in a position to secure the collection as the property of the museum.
"Shanty" will have Saturday evening dances during Lent at Pythian hall, beginning March 14. This is the season of the year when you want a change in the Menu. Wiedemann has a fine assortment of Sundaes, with fruits and nuts. Try them.

THE KANSAN.
OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS.
VOL. I. No. 45.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MARCH 18, 1905.
TO CHOOSE TEAM.
The final debate to select the debating team for the inter-state debates will be held in the chapel Monday evening. An admission of fifteen cents will be charged.
Debating Squad Final Monday.
The squad has been working in sections the past two weeks and as the men are familiar with the subject, the debates will be very interesting and well worth attending. The discussion will be on the Missouri question,
"Resolved; That the best interests of the country demand the maintenance of the open shop."
Professors Templin; Burdick and Abbott are the judges who have the selection of the six men.
Some special music will be given in connection with the contest,
NEW CREDIT UNIT IN THE COLLEGE.
Next year a system of hour credits in the college will supersede the present method or term credits. The present term units of five hours class work per week will be divided into two parts, one a three hour credit and the other a two hour credit. Thus the work of one course of ninety hours of class work will be extended over two terms instead of one as at present.
The effect of the new system is to give the student a greater variety of courses with less instructive work in any one. Under the new conditions a student who is carrying the normal amount of ninety hours of work a term will carry six courses at the same time, devoting three hours a week to each of three and two hours a week to each of the others.
It is expected that making the work in any single course cover more time, the student will assimilate his information to a better advantage than if he crowds all the work of a course into one term.
The regular mid-week meeting of the Y.W. C.A. Wednesday afternoon was rather unusual and interesting. The meeting was entirely in charge of freshmen girls. Miss Ola Bingler was leader, Miss Rebecca Moody, pianist, and the music was given by a quartette composed of Alberta Cresswell, Pansy Anderson, Helen Eveland, and Genevine Clark. The subject, "Christian Service," was divided into the heads, reasons, methods, time, results, each one of which was discussed by a freshmen girl.
The Registrar and his assistants are working hard on the catalogues for the year '04-'05. The proof on the law school catalogue has been corrected and much more material is ready for the press.

MISSOURI VICTORIOUS.
Superior Training Advantages Win—Bailey, Butler, McGoy and Parker Take Firsts.
Missouri added the fifth victory at the annual indoor meet at Convention hall last night, by a score of $ 57 \frac{1}{2} $ to $ 27 \frac{1}{2} $ . McCoy won first in the 50 yard dash, Parker the high jump, Bailey the two mile run and Butler the pole-vault. All other events went to the Tigers,
The first surprise came when Salisbury and Six won the high hurdles. Butler and Morrow did not have a chance to train for this event on account of the size of our gym, and although Butler made the prettiest showing by leaving all of his fences untouched, yet the speed of Salisbury won for M. S. U. in 73.5 sec. Morrow tripped on the last hurdle and bruised himself severely. He was in a position to win a place when the accident occurred.
5 Cents per copy
Anderson, of the tigers. put the shot 42 ft, $ \frac{1}{2} $ inch, and Ackerman made 38 ft., $ 6 \frac{1}{2} $ in. McCoy won the 50 yard dash in the most sensational sprint of the evening; time 5 3-5 sec. Wilson of M. U. won second place. In the half mile, Driscoll was the only entry for K. U., and the tigers pocketed him at the start. As the track was narrow, Driscoll wore himself out trying to get the lead, so Ellis and Wayman won easily by taking turns at the pole. 2 min., 8 2-5 sec was the time for this event. As Morrow was in poor condition on account of his fall from the high hurdles, Six and Salisbury won the low hurdles in 6:45.
The high jump contest was one of the most surprising events in the meet. The bar was at five feet and no one had failed. When 5 ft. 3 in. was reached, Bigger of M. U. lost in three trials and went to the bench. At 5 ft. 5 in., Anderson and Young cleared the bar on second trial. At 5 ft. 7 in. Anderson of Missouri lost his confidence, failed thrice, and Young of K. U. lost on his third trial. Parker passed over the bar easily and gracefully and won first place,
Missouri won the 440 yd. sprint by the foulest, dirtiest trickery ever witnessed on an amateur track. Miller of K. U. drew first place and in sprinting for the lead, ran neck and neck with Wilson. Wilson managed to get his elbow in front of Miller and proceeded to slug the little sprinter unmercifully, Miller was forced off the track, but soon regained it and started to run away from the other three men. As he passed by Wilson, Wilson reached out and took him by the shoulder and threw him from the track. Wilson was then declared out of the race but he had done his work and Miller was so winded that he could
not finish. Ellis of Missouri won first place in 59 seconds and Finch second for Kansas.
On the two mile course, Bailey and Barnard of Kansas obtained the lead in the start and Jackson of M. U. ran more than a mile in a pocket. Barnard was running outside of Bailey and at the end of a mile and a quarter, dropped behind Bailey and soon fell exhausted. Jackson sprinted to the lead and the Kansas rooters were speechless. Was Bailey to lose as all other K. U. distance men had? Bailey kept close behind Jackson, but it looked bad for the little Kansan. Two more laps and Jackson in the lead. Dr. Naismith and Coach McLean held up two fingers to warn the men that they were on the last quarter. At that signal Bailey turned past Jackson and left that speedy gentleman about two hundred feet in the rear making the two miles in 11 minutes
Nancrede and Dewey of M. U. won the mile from Driscoll and McReynolds in 5:01-4-5 and finished a rod ahead of the Kansans. This was surprise number three and M. U. had won the meet,
Butler won the pole vault from Missouri with the bar at the 9 ft, and 11 in. mark. The middle distance was 9 ft, 9 in.
Justice of K. U. wrenched the muscles of his leg by falling upon the edge of a mat and was carried into the dressing room.
As M. U. had the fastest middle distance men the relay race added five more to their score. Kansas won every event that could be practiced with the present gym, accommodations excepting the shot-put. The Tigers won because they had the advantage of indoor training in the hurdles and sprints.
In scoring, first place counts five and second counts three points.
The Y. M. C. A. won their part of the meet from the K, C. A. C. and Central high school won from Manual. About three thousand people braved the storm to see the meet.
Whipple and Moulton, former K. U. track stars were officials in the arena. They were very well leased with the work of the men who represented Kansas in the pole-vault and 100 yd. sprint respectively, where they nold the K. U. record.
DIDN'T TAKE TRIP.
The senior electricals did not take their proposed trip today as was stated in the last issue of the Kansan. The Leavenworth and Kansas Electric Railway Co. is not ready for the tests and the trip will have to be taken some time later.
INNES SPEAKS IN CHAPEL.
Mr. George Innes of Lawrence, adres sed the students Friday morning on the important stand Kansas has taken in relation to the Standard Oil Trust, and other similar matters. "We have made history pretty fast in Kansas the past few months," said Mr. Innes, "but Kansas always is at the head of any such movement." Mr. Innes is a loyal friend of the University and never fails to respond when asked to speak to the students and neither do they lack in their appreciation of his friendship.
ALUMNUS WRITES BOOK.
In a communication to the Kansas City Star recently, Arthur B. Barteaux reviews a volume of essays entitled "American Thumb Prints." Miss Kate Stevens, the author, was formerly professor of Greek language and literature in the University. One of the essays in the collection, "The University of Hesperus," is of interest to the students and especially to the alumni of the University. In this essay are found many pleasing reminiscences of the author's connection with the institution. The book is dedicated to the author's father, Nelson Timothy Stevens, who was the suggestive founder of the law school of the University. Judge Green is the son-in-law of Judge Stephens.
THE FARMER'S FRIEND.
For several years Dr. Snow and his assistant Mr.E.F. Tucker have made a special study of the habits of the injurious insects of Kansas with a view of aiding the farmers in destroying them.
In 1902 Mr. Tucker seeing that the farmers and fruit growers of this state needed advice as to the best manner in which to destroy the insects that blighted their fruit trees and growing crops, undertook to write articles for one of the leading agricultural papers of the west, the "Kansas Farmer." These articles have been continued from that date up to now, with an ever growing assistance and interest of those troubled by these pests. Nearly every day a letter or two comes to Mr. Tucker or Dr. Snow asking for advice as to the best way to rid a farm or orchard of some kind of injurious insect.
The following extract from a letter received by Mr. Tucker written by the editor of the Kansas Farmer speaks for itself. "Your articles will do the readers of the Kansas Farmer good and the fact that it comes from the University will add to the knowledge which the people of the State have of the institution.
Mr. Tucker is still writing these articles and says he shall continue to do so as long as inquiries come that he is able to answer.

The death of George Eyre on Friday night was of unusual sadness. His parents were in California when he took ill and because of delays by snowstorms in the mountains, were not permitted to see their son alive. Eyre was a quiet fellow and not very well known outside of his own classes, but all who knew him speak in high praise of his character.
On Monday night the debating contest which decides who will represent Kansas in the inter-state debates this year, will be held in the chapel. The boys who appear that night have made a careful study of the question on which they will speak, and besides the enthusiasm of the contest, the information to be gained on an economic subject is of no small consequence.
There is a great temptation to the politically inclined University student to mix in the city ejections, regardless of the fact of their non-residence. The Chancellor placed the matter in its proper light when he pointed out the inconsistency of such actions in young men who are being trained for leaders of the state. Certainly, students who are of age and have been in residence at the University during the year have a technical right to register and vote at the elections of the city. But the fact remains that when a student yields to the solicitations of a local politician, he becomes a party to the system of graft and corruption which he is taught to abhor.
--center of University life. The only recommendation of it on McCook field would be its nearness to the athletic grounds, and the objections are numerous, it would be so tar that trips to it could not be made between classes also the athletic field probably will not always be where it is now. The ideal location as a member of the faculty stated it the other day is west of the shops. There will be the University buildings fifty years hence; along there will run the inter-urban street car line; to the southwest a short distance is an ideal location for a football and baseball field; the land is a natural amphitheatre from which you can step upon the level, and finally it it near the furnaces so that the water for the baths would not be cooled in a long journey.
The location of the new gym is a matter of great importance to the future student body. The three locations most spoken of at present are, north of the museum, on or near McCook field, and west of the shops. The first site is most convenient at present, but the University will build wholly to the west in the future and then the gym would be on the outskirts instead of in the

THIRD CHAMBER CONCERT.
The third of the course of five Chamber Music Concerts to be given by the school of Fine Arts occurred last Thursday evening at the Frasbyterian church. In spite of the rainy weather there was a fair audience in attendance and at the close of the entertainment each one congratulated himself on having braved the weather.
Mr. Elmer Harley a pianist of Kansas City and Mrs. Helen Hutchings DeMers a contralto singer from Chicago contributed very largely to the evening's enjoyment, while Prof. Wylie of the University added to his musical reputation by his several classic and difficult selections.
The most pleasing numbers were:Beethoven, Second Sonata for Violin and Piano, Prof, Wylie and Mr. Harley; Moszkowski, Moment Musicale in C sharp minor, Mr. Harley; Green, Sing Mu to Sleep, Mrs. DeMers.
The fourth concert of this course will occur April 6, and Mrs. Mary Wood Chase the celebrated pianist of Chicago, will probably be one of the performers.

DEATH OF GEORGE EYER.
George L. Eyer of Abilene, died Friday morning at Simmon's hospital, where he had been taken two weeks ago sick with typhoid fever. He had been ill for some time, but not seriously and consequently the fever had gained headway before a physician was consulted.
Despite the services of the best doctors in the city and the best of care at the hospital, he finally succumbed. His parents were visiting in California when the news of their son's serious illness reached them, and on account of delayed trains on the Santa Fe were unable to reach his bedside to see him alive. His brother was the only member of the family present.
Eyer was twenty-one years old and was born in Pennsylvania. He came to Abilene with his parents when quite young and was educated in the city schools of that place. He entered the University last fall enrolling in the engineering school. He was a good student, conscientious in all his work, and was a man of lofty ideals.
His death is a sad blow to his parents and many friends, and has cast a gloom over the University. His remains were taken home Friday evening. The freshman engineering class of which he was a member sent a beautiful floral offering to his home.

LAW SCHOOL RAISES REQUIREMENTS.
At a recent meeting of the faculty of the law school, it was decided to raise the entrance requirements from thirteen to fifteen credits, the same number that is required by the school of arts. Many of the large Eastern Universities including Harvard and Columbia have long required an A. B. degree before entrance to the law school and the faculty here is simply falling into line by raising the requirements.
The difference from the old will be that more work in history, three credits in languages and plane geometry are required, while solid geometry has been made optional and may be substituted for something else. It is thought that this will insure a better grade of work from entering students. The new requirements will be in force next year.

FRATERNITY BIBLE STUDY.
Last week representatives from ten fraternities at the University of Nebraska met and made arrangements for launching this movement next year.
During the present year groups of men for a systematic study of the Bible have been organized in eighty-nine different chapters in twenty-three colleges and Universities, including all the large schools east of the Mississippi river Many of the most prominent athletes of the country are leading in this enterprise. Captain Redder was chairman of an inter-fraternity Bible study association at Michigan last year.
At the Kansas University, the systematic Bible study is carried on almost entirely by the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. About one hundred men are enrolled in the Y. M. C. A. Bible classes. A movement is now on foot to start an inter-fraternity Bible study class next year, which promises to have the support of all the Greek letter societies.

Their plays, scenery and electrical effects are up to the standard and beyond. They carry a line of high class vaudeville acts (especially engaged) and the latest moving pictures and illustrated songs.
The curtain is never down from the rise to the fall, and patrons of the Bowersock Opera House can look forward to a dramatic and vaudeville treat at people's popular prices, 10, 20 and 30 cents, with ladies free on opening night. provided they are accompanied with party holding one 30 cent ticket, which must be reserved before 6 p.m. on opening day.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS.
Vol.I. No.46.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MARCH 23, 1905.
Prize.
INTER-FRAT DEBATE.
First Annual Contest for Ewing Herbert
The Inter-Fraternity Debating League met March 15th and formally adopted the following rules:
2. Each National Fraternity in the University of Kansas shall be entitled to membership and after signifying its intention of becoming a member shall have one vote at every meeting
1. This association shall be known as the Inter-Fraternity Debating League of the University of Kansas.
5. One contest shall be held each year until one fraternity has won three times under the following by-laws:
1. The subject shall be selected by the league from the questions to be debated that year by the debaters representing the University.
3. The head of the department of public speaking shall be entitled to one vote at every meeting.
4. The officers shall be President, vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer.
2. Each fraternity may have one representative in the contest.
3. The places and the sides of the speakers are to be chosen by lot five weeks before the time set for the contest
6. The judges shall consult and elect as winner the man who in their opinion did the best debating, everything considered.
5. There shall be three judges chosen by the league.
4. Each contestant shall make two speeches, one of ten minutes length and a rebuttal speech of five minutes duration.
8. No contestant shall have previously won first place in any of the contests of the league.
7. Every contestant shall be a bona fide student of the University of Kansas and an active member of his fraternity.
6. The meetings shall be called by the head of the department of public speaking as he thinks best, and a majority of those present shall be sufficient to transact all the business of the league.
Any of the rules or by-laws may be amended by a two-thirds vote of the members of the eague present at any meeting where the members have had one week's notice that the amendment will be voted upon.
The League also adopted the following motion:
The contest for the year 1904-05 shall take place April 26, 1905. Each fraternity in order to take part in this contest this year must file before noon Wednesday, March 22, an application in writing with Prof. Frazier and not later than April 19 must file the name of its contestant.
In case any one fraternity shall file its application by the
date mentioned the cup shall go by default to that fraternity.
The question to be debated is: "Resolved that the best interests of the public demand the open shop." The maintenance of considerable interest has been shown in the coming debate. Professor Frazier has been the leading spirit in agitating this new project and to him and a few others belongs the credit of organizing the league.
The prize at stake is the Ewing Herbert loving cup, which is to be the trophy of the winning fraternity. Mr. Herbert, who is an alumnus of the University is now editor of the Hiawatha World, and takes an active interest in all things pertaining to the University.
The fraternities who have already applied for membership in the league are the Alpha Taus, Phi Gammas, Betas, Sig Alphs and Sigma Chis. Another fraternity will probably enter but the matter will not be decided until its next meeting. These names of the contestants who will represent the different fraternities will be decided on by April 19.
At the meeting of students Sunday evening, the following delegates were selected to represent the University in the first annual conference of the student volunteers at Topeka March 25 and 26: Kate Hansen, Lydia Lindsay, H. L. Heinzman, Earnest Gregg, Charles Siler and Roy Stockwell.
The student volunteer movement for foreign mission work has attracted considerable attention in the past few years and this annual conference is intended to give definite shape and direction to the work. All the leading educational institutions of the state will have representatives in Topeka at this meeting.
STUDENT VOLUNTEERS.
The first K. U. outdoor track meet between schools, will be held April 15. Every one who can do one or more events is requested to go into training at once. The School of Arts, The School of Engineering, The School of Law, The Medical and Pharmacy Schools, will each enter a team. The scoring will be done in a manner similar to intercollegiate meets. The result will be kept yearly and the school which wins this year will head the record.
FIRST OUT-DOOR TRACK MEET.
---
The winners in each event will be placed in training for the track and will have a chance to win a place on the team which will go to Boulder, Colorado, May 6th. The three remaining meets for K.U.track men this year are, University of Colorado, Boulder, May 6; University of Missouri, McCook field, May 20; Missouri School of Mines, Rolla, May 27.
DEBATERS SELECTED.
University Has Strong Team—Iowa Deb.te April 17.
The final contest of the debating squad was held in the University chapel Monday evening and the six men who will represent Kansas in debate were chosen. They are: R. O. Douglas, Frank Tyler, Wilbern Parker, C. A. Ramsey, R. L. Douglas and B. A. Earhart.
The subject discussed was the Missouri question: "Resolved; That the best Interests of the Country Demand the Maintenance of the Open Shop." The general sympathy is of course with the affirmative, but if a decision had been rendered on the debate Monday evening, the negative would have won. Four of the winning men, Ramsey, R. L. Douglas, Earhart and Parker were negative speakers.
The judges were professors Becker, Templin and Burdick, all of the University faculty. They were well pleased with the showing made by the debaters, all of whom displayed careful preparation and an intelligent grasp of the subject in the contest. Although only two of the men on the teams have had any experience on the state teams, the ability of the other members is such that the University will have an excellent chance to carry off the honors this year.
The Debating Council ratified the Iowa regulations Tuesday, and the Kansas-Iowa debate will be held here April 17. The date of the Missouri debate has not been fixed but it will probably not be later than April 25.
At a meeting of the debaters Wednesday noon the teams were divided as follows:
Iowa Debaters—B. A. Earhart,
C. A. Ramsey, Wilbern Parker,
Missouri Debaters—Frank Tyler,
R. O. Douglas, R. L. Douglas

ABOUT LACROSSE.
Lacrosse practice will soon begin on the field west of the Chemistry building, with prospects of two good teams this season. As no other school in this vicinity has given lacrosse any attention, no outside games can be played. The teams of the freshmen and senior classes, however, will play a series of matches on McCook field soon.
Last fall lacrosse was started at the University, and though somewhat new to Kansas students, it attracted a good deal of attention. Physical Director Naismith said: "I hope to see the day when lacrosse will be played by 'varsity teams in this section of the country. Lacrosse affords fine exercise and training for track men."
Each side or team consists of twelve players scattered ten yards apart about the field. At each end of the ground a goal is placed and it is the object of the game to carry or throw the ball with the cross or racket between the opponent's goal posts. The picturesque dress of the players, the quick changing of the play from one part of the field to another, its simple rules, and the graceful action of the runners, all combine to make it interesting to the spectators.
The game is of Indian origin and is developed from a game which they called "bagataway." It was played and used by the Indians to train warriors in agility and endurance. The story is often told of how chief Tecumseh and his Indian warriors were asked to give an exhibition of bagataway before the garrison of Fort Detroit in the early day. The white men were all deeply interested in the game when suddenly the ball was thrown towards them. Many thought it an accident, but as the redskins dashed in among the onlookers at the gate of the fort, each warrior drew his tomahawk and set upon the unsuspecting whites,
Lacross was first played by white people in 1840, but now the game has become very popular in Canada and in the large universities of the United States. A national league has been formed which includes teams from the Atlantic Clubs of Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal and Cornwall, and an inter-collegiate league between Harvard, Cornell, Princeton, Pennsylvania and Lehigh College.
From an athletic viewpoint, Lacrosse is the greatest of games for the players are continually in motion and great endurance is required to last through a fast game. Expert lacrosse players are athletes in every sense of the word, for the game requires a quick eye, great agility and nerve.

The campus of the University of Kansas now comprises nearly 160 acres. You should go in the Chancellor's office and see how the landscape artist has planned that the University will look fifty years from now. We are more optimistic in that regard now than Chancellor Marvin was twenty years ago when he told Dr. Snow, who had said "Chancellor we must be making arrangements for new building;" "Doctor, you nor I will never see any more buildings on this campus."
C. L. Edson, a former editor of the University paper, and the greatest poetic genius that ever came from Oread's halls had the following poem in the Sunday edition of the Star.
THE CRISIS IN RUSSIA.
In the furrows the Ages have turned
Have the seeds of the harvest been sown,
From the heart of the world where they burned,
Their fruitage is springing full blown.
Let the sickles of sorrow outweep
Till in windrows lies fallen each head.
Quick, Sower! Your grain you must reap,
Ere it reaps you, instead!
From the fields there is echoed a cry,
And trembles the world with a moan.
See, Reaper; the whirlwind is nigh!
Humanity cries for its own.
The Hills of the Past, do they shake?
Hear the hoarse-throated thunders outchime!
Lo! the glow of the lava awake
In the crater of time!
Its light, how it reddens the sky!
O, Tyranny, tremble and quake!
The night of your dreams has gone by.
Wake, Russia, awake!
For, lapped in the white-tongued flame.
Where the thunders unceasing out-roll,
The angels of Hate and of Shame Are forging a nation its soul.
From the stench of the blood and the ooze
Up-springing the lilies appear,
And wet with men's tears as with dews
In her majesty Freedom draws near!
C. L. EDSON
General Funston is in town today and a Funston anecdote is in order. It is told that when Fred and his older brother were on the farm down in Allen County that one day the father went to town and left the boys a certain amount of corn to plow. Each was to plow a part, but when the older brother got his share done Fred was not willing to come out of the shade to take his turn. A clod throwing and wrestling match was the result, during which the horse with the plow attached wandered off across the field. In the meantime Farmer Funston was bringing home an uncle who had just come in from the east. As they climbed the hill overlooking the field where the boys were plowing the fond father was dilating on what good boys he had and how much work they could do, but he had hardly uttered it when he looked down the hill and saw the old gray horse aimlessly eating corn and down below his two model sons engaged in a heavy clod throwing battle.
GLIFANED.
The student's Herald, of Manhattan, and the Baker Orange both state that there was not quite so much occasion for a splurge over the statement made by the Governor that a diploma from Washburn was better than a deed to a Shawnee county farm. The Governor has made the same statement at both of these instiiutions. It might be curious to find out at what other colleges he has made the same remark.—K. U. says ditto.

We are willing to accept his theory if he will tell us whether or not crowds will inhabit the black belt, Birds of Paradise will live in New York and Jay Haws will populate Kansas.
The Engineers issued the M. S. U. Independent last week, printed it in green ink and gave the following notice a conspicuous place. "Whereas, St. Patrick is known to have been an engineer, and whereas the 17th of March has by long custom been set apart as a day in his honor, therefore, be it resolved that we, the students of the Engineering department of the University of Missouri, refrain from our usual labors on that day. That we celebrate in the name of St. Patrick and wear his favorite color. That this order go into effect from this day forth through all time. That any engineer violating this order be 'chi-chied.'"
The reports from Kansas City indicate that Kansas mostly "also started" last Friday night.

Prof. L.I. Blake, while in Kansas City last week made arrangements with a representative of the DeForrest Wireless Telegraphy Co., to deliver a lecture on the subject in the near future. A temporary station will be in one of the University buildings and the lecturer will illustrate his talk with the actual exchange of messages with the DeForest Co.'s stations.
The Company is the largest of its kind in the world, and has stations in the largest cities of the United States. The exact date of the lecture has not been determined, but will be announced later.
MESSAGE FROM INDIA.
Miss Elieabeth Maxey, of Calcutta, India, spoke before the young women of the University at their meeting yesterday. She brought to the girls greeting from Miss Laura Radford.
Miss Radford is a Lawrence girl, a graduate of the University, who has been sent as a missionary to India, by the young women of Kansas University.
Miss Maxey said that through Miss Radford, the young womanhood of America was reaching out to help the young womanhood of India sending brightness strength and sympathy to the weaker sister living in darkest India. She said that God had found in Miss Radford a woman whom He could trust and by whose lips He could send His message into India. Miss Radford is working among the English speaking girls of Calcutta, both in the Y. W. C. A. institute and among the young women who are working in the stores. Miss Radford has been instrumental in securing a home among the hills where each working girl may rest for ten days during the summer, thus bringing a little joy and brightness into their lives.

PROF. CLARK OF CHICAGO TO READ "ULYSSES."
Professor S. H. Clark of the department of Public speaking of the University of Chicago will give a reading of Stephen Phillipps' poetic play "Ulyses" in the University chapel tomorrow evening. This play is especially adapted to the reader's art and under Prof. Clark's sympathetic appreciative interpretation, becomes an unusually attractive entertainment. The University is fortunate in having an opportunity of hearing this noted reader and lecturer and the Northeastern Teachers Association is to be congratulated upon securing him for this occasion. Prof. Clark will also give two lectures on the teaching of reading before the teachers during his stay in Lawrence
FUNSTON IN TOWN.
Brigadier General Funston of the regular army arrived in Lawrence from Iola. Kansas to be the guest of General Wilder S. Metcalf at a banquet last night.
Will Probably Speak in Chapel Thursday.
A very strong effort will be made to detain him until noon today in order that he may be present at chapel exercises. Fred Funston, as he is known to most Kansas men, was a student in the University of Kansas during the years 1886-187. Later he went to Cuba and became a Colonel of the Twentieth Kansas and achieved fame by his capture of Aguinaldo in the Philippines.
General Funston has been transferred from the department of Chicago to the department of the Pacific and is on his way to that post at present.

"RUSSIA IS ASLEEP."
Dr. A. E. Steiner Tells of Russia.
When Chancellor Strong introduced Dr. Steiner of Grinnell College, Friday night, he said there is no man in America more competent to tell of Russia and its problems.
Dr. Steiner said in part: "The Russian of today is impassive, unemotional and seemingly oblivious to his surroundings or his future. They have an entirely different nature from the Anglo Saxon. I have seen 2,000 of them drunk on a single boulevard at one time and not a single fight occurred.
The peasant of Russia is beaten and robbed by the autocracy, yet he does not resent it very violently or even give much thought to it. The average amount of land owned by the ordinary peasant is two and a half acres. The average yearly earning of a laboring man in that country is $126.00, forty-six dollars of which must go to the government for taxes.
Tea is worth sixty-eight cents a pound, 50 cents of which goes to the government in revenue The peasants are densely ignorant; in thousands of villages through which I passed there was not a printed page. Hundreds of the lower classes never saw the alphabet.
The Russian peasant has many strange customs; when a child is born into the home, if it is a girl the husband hides himself for two weeks, that he may not be jeered at by his fellows, but if it is a boy, he goes through the streets proclaiming that fact. Courtting is done in a matter of fact way. In northern Russia they have marriage fairs or markets where all the eligible women are placed on exhibition and the future husband comes along and takes his pick. Every marriage has at least forty guests present who stay a week with the bride and groom. The Russian cannot work very hard, for there are only 124 labor days in the year, the remainder are feast days and holidays. The Russian is very devout in a way, yet his leaders in religion are most often corrupt and ignorant. Over 20 per cent of the clergy cannot read or write. The principal duty of the priest is to drive out the devils from the homes once a year. For this he charges all the way from 50 copecks to 2 roubles.
Every student in Russia is a revolutionist. The men who have gone to Siberia within the last decades have been the educated men. They were spirited away at night. Every book and every newspaper of Russia goes through the censor's hand before it is given to the public. Whatever does not suit him is stamped out. Sometimes the newspapers appear with only

GENERAL FUNSTON'S VISIT.
The Brilliant Career of the Colonel of the "Fighting Twentieth"—Anecdotes of University Life.
Brigadier General Frederick Funston and Col. Wilder S. Metcalf were the guests of honor at the University Thursday Morning. General Funston, who won fame and promotion as colonel of the "fighting 20th" Kansas Volunteers, has not visited the University since his student days ended about sixteen years ago.
The chapel was packed with students who greeted the general with the old "Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, K.U." General Funston is a man of action rather than of words and his response to the greeting of the students of the University was in his characteristic brief, pithy manner.
"I had conflicting emotions, this morning, "said he," as for the first time in years, I visited the campus and traversed the
When war was declared with Spain in 1898. Funston was a private in the insurgent army of Cuba. He was soon called to the staff of the United States commander, as an advisor, for which position his knowledge of the country and conditions especially fitted him. Since that time his promotion has been remarkable. He was made colonel of the 20th Kansas volunteers, and it was while serving in that capacity that he captured Aguinaldo, the wily Philippino leader. This feat, coupled with the ability and gallant service of the plucky little Kansas colonel that won his promotion to the Major generalship.
General Funston has been stationed at Chicago with the United States regulars for the past year. He has recently been
care would be "Timmy."
It also isn't probably known to many people that when Funston was in Lawrence he incurred the mortal enmity of the negro bully of the town and on that account applied to the city council for permission to carry firearms. One day Dr. Snow after class asked Funston if it was true that he was a walking arsenal. Funston promptly reached under his coat tails and hauled forth two murderous looking forty-tours to show the Doctor he spoke rightly.
"LITERATURE AND THE COMMUNITY."
Professor Clark in his lecture on "Literature and the Community" said, "No element in the community is more vital than literature. The important thing in life is what we do with our leisure and it is with our literature that our leisure is chiefly concerned. What we shall read is not a pedagogical question. It is a question of vital sociological importance.

halls of this old building, which when I was here before, was the only one on this part of the hill. I am gratified however to see some half dozen faculty members who were here when I entered the University in 1886. And they seem almost unchanged, save for the few gray hairs time has added since then. I have only to say to you that I am very grateful for the reception you have given me."
General Funston was entertained Thursday afternoon by the Phi Delta Theta, of which he was a member while in the University, and was the guest of honor at a banquet given by Colonel Metcalf Thursday evening.
Few men in the country have advanced more rapidly in their professions than has General Funston in the past few years.
transferred to the department of the Coast, with headquarters at San Francisco, and will assume command at once.
Protesssor W. H. Higgins was a fraternity brother of Funston when he was in the University and tells some good anecdotes of the student days of "Timmy" as Funston was called by his fellows.
He says there was no fellow in the University more absolutely awkward on the dancing floor than Funston. Try as hard as he might he could not master the terpsichorean art, but he had a queer idea that the best way for him to learn the "light fantastic" was to have a large girl for a teacher. So if anyone went to a dance and wanted to see Funston they would at once find the largest woman in the room and under her protecting
"The universal tendency today is toward the so-called practical. The question that is asked is 'What are we going to get out of it?' It is not 'Is it best, is it right, is it worth while?' 'No, the question asked all over the world today is 'What will you get out of it?' There is a universal tendency toward the so-called practical. The true scientist gives his life to giving men more light, to giving them more leisure. But do we take more leisure? We have less leisure today than we had before steam and the telephone were known. So far they have only made the world move quickly. They have simply made life hard to life. The chief fault of our University training is this practical' idea. The whole course is spent in preparing for life.

Evening shadows gather 'round us, Fainter, dimmer grows the light. Flitting faint fantastic figures Pass before us, then'tis night.

Singing songs of Alma Mater And her sons and daughters true, Who with mighty deeds and actions Wreath with honor old K. U.
-W. B. P.
General Funston never came any ways near the Phi Beta Kappa when he was in the University but he made good when he got out in the world, which is after all the main thing.
Chancellor Strong had more fun with John McDonald, Friday morning than he has had with any speaker for many a day. It came so unexpected that it took the Scotchman entirely by surprise, as it did all of us for that matter. But let the Chancellor beware, the canny Scott will get even if he has to make a special trip to the University for that purpose.
The students of the Agricultural College are up in arms against President Nichols because of his suspension of three juniors for unfurling a class flag over the rostrum during chapel exercises. A mammoth petition for his removal will be sent to the board of regents by the students, not only because of his action in this affair but because of his apathy toward student enterprises in general.
The fraternities of the University are to be congratulated in that they have finally taken the matter of the inter-fraternity debate in hand and will soon compete for the Ewing Herbert cup. Debating in Chicago, Michigan and Nebraska interests fraternity men as much as football and
base ball, and it should not be ignored by that class of men in our University. If inter-fraternity debates will stimulate interest in this subject throughout the school and bring stronger men into competition for the places on the University team, they should be facilitated in every way.
Any student in the University who failed to hear Prof. S. H. Clark of the University of Chicago, Thursday night in his reading of Ulysses, and Friday morning in his lecture on "The Spirit of Literature," missed two of the rarest treats that have come to University audiences for some time. Prof. Clark is "on fire" with his subject and before he leaves his hearers they have caught something of his fervor and spirit.
SUPERB GROUP OF ANIMALS.
When completed the group of animals now being arranged in the main room of the Museum building will be one of the most striking as well as one of the most valuable possessions of the University.
Since early fall workmen have been busy building the scaffolding on which to set the specimens. This framework is now being plastered with artificial mud, leaves and moss, making a very natural appearing mountain side. The group contains some fifty specimens, every one the acme of the taxadermist's art, and is composed of antelope, buffalo, elk, Rocky mountain sheep, mule deer, white goat and moose. All are arranged on a cragy and rock strewn hill-side, in positions and attitudes such as they assume while alive and in their natural haunts. Trees and small pools of water will add to the picturesqueness of the scene.
The value of the completed grouping will be hard to estimate exactly,but will be easily up in five figures. Probably the

Prof. Dyche was offered $5,000 for the pair by a German nobleman who was touring the country collecting such specimens. The five American buffaloes in the group are valued at $1,000 each. Prof. Dyche has been twenty-five years mounting these specimens, and it is owing to his efforts, assisted by Mr. "Lev" Adams, that the grouping has gone along so rapidly this year. The arrangement is expected to be fully completed when school opens next fall.

Prominent Educators Speak.
The teachers of the Northeastern Kansas Teachers' Association visited chapel in a body Friday morning. Some of the leading educators of the state were on the platform and addressed the combined audience of students and teachers.
TEACHERS VISIT CHAPEL
Prof. Whittemore, principal of the Topeka High School, said: "You teachers are the connecting link between the University and the public schools. You are here that you may better guide the young of the state to this institution where they may receive better advantages for their future life."
Prof. John N. Glotfelter of the State Normal, was first introduced. He referred to the work of the institutions represented, as that of preparing the young people of Kansas for citizenship. In concluding he said: "I want to assure the University of the cordial feeling of the State Normal. Personally, I always feel good when I hear the old 'Rock Chalk' of K. U."
President Troxall of Midland College, spoke for several minutes on the development and importance of educational work in Kansas. He said: "Do you you know that only fifty years ago the first school house in Kansas was built three miles northwest of here? Think what a wonderful development has come since then. Here in this assembly are the representatives of the forces that will make or unmake America.
"Now in closing, I want to leave a text with you students, It is this: 'Fidelity to daily duty will win success,'"
John McDonald of the Western School Journal, made a characteristic talk. Probably no educational man in Kansas is better known than he, both as to his work and his personality, "I want to impress on you people that you can't, like Ulysses, do everything," said Mr. McDonald, "but you can do all that is in you if you will. The sooner you realize that the bet-it will be for you."
The glee club made a hit with the visitors and was liberally encoed. Nearly a thousand teachers were present to hear the chapel exercises.

BIG SNOW MEETING
5 Cents per copy.
Chancellor Strong Addressed the Society
Snow literary had a special meeting in the west German room last Saturday night. The following program was presented:
Piano solo, Miss Baker; Snow's Aspirations, Mr. Douglas; Recitation, Miss Owens; Address, Chancellor Strong; Original story Miss Beckwith; Vocal solo. Mrs. Lyons "Criticism", Mr. Davies; Reminiscences, Mr. McMath; Music, Quartette.
Chancellor Strong in his talk, reviewed the "status quo" of literary societies in the University, and said he hoped the time would come when it would be possible to allow permanent rooms to literary societies, though there is now no immediate prospect of it. He then reviewed in outline the development of the leading feature of American life,—constitutional government of everything. The special music by Mrs. Lyons and the glee quartette was very fine. Mr. E. H. McMath, a prominent Snow member of a few years ago, talked to the society of old times in Snow.
On account of the vacation the next regular meeting will be held April 8, when officers will be elected.
Professor Skilton gave a lecture yesterday afternoon before an audience composed of the Ladies' Music Club and those university people who are interested in the grand opera to be given in Kansas City, Friday and Saturday.
LECTURE ON PARSIFAL.
The lecture consisted of sketches of the plots from which Wagner's "Parsifal", Meyerbeer's "Huguenots", Mascagni's "Cavallario Rusticia", and Leonevallo's "I'Pagliacci" are drawn, As Professor Skilton analyzed each of these he played the notifs on the piano or the pipe organ so that those in the audience who intended to attend the performance in Kansas City would be familiar with them. Parsifal is to be given Friday afternoon and evening, the shorter operas Saturday night. Professor Skilton expressed a wish that as many as possible might attend the grand opera for the sake of the music, though much of the story is objectionable.
J. A. Hoel, president of the junior law class, left school Tuesday for an indefinite period. He has returned to his home in Burden, Kansas, to take charge of his father's implement business. His father was compelled to retire on account of ill health. Mr. Hoel has been in school two years. Last year he represented K. U. in the Inter-State Oratorical Contest held at the World's Fair, and won second place for the University.
T. N. E. PARTY.
The gentlemen of the Theta Nu Epsilon fraternity gave their annual party Friday evening in Fraternal Aid Hall,
The party was one of the most delightful given this spring. Only members and their lady friends were present, thus doing away with the usual crowded condition of the floor. The programs were green, with Theta Nu Epsilon printed across the front in black letters, carrying out the fraternity colors.
It was half past nine before the dancing began to the tune of "Loveland," played by Zeiler's orchestra. The most popular dance music of the day was rendered and many encores were called for. Champagne punch was served throughout the evening and a delicious luncheon awaited the dancers during the intermission. Fruit salad, chicken patties sandwiches, ice cream, and coffee were served in three courses.
The young ladies who were present were all enthusiastic in proclaiming their enjoyment of the affair and will vouch for the T. N. E.'s, as accomplished hosts.
The Alumni who returned for the occasion were: Marvin Creager, Fred Sedden, Ralph Nelson and Joe Dyer from Kansas City; Bert Voth, Pittsburgh, Kansas, and Benjamin Hoefer of Harrisonville, Mo. The town people present were; Mr. and Mrs. Ober and Dr. and Mrs. Esterley. Miss Grace King and Miss Ruth Hayden, of Holton; and Miss Gay Shepard of Kansas City, Kansas
The Second Annual Spring Meet of the Quivera Club Boys was held at the Club House 1345 Vermont. The occasion was to reciprocate to the girls for the Hallowe'en Social given last Fall. The entertainment consisted of a Minstrel Show followed by a Banquet.
Ten black faces and an Interlocutor were on the program besides a four piece black face orchestra. Tom Hambleton, as Mr. Beeswax Honey, and Ray Tr pp, as Mr. Heck Blossom, we e bones and tambo respectively and each made a hit with the crowd.
The Coasemaster was Arthur Hixon, and Ernest B. Black, John Woodin and C. W. Petit responded to toasts.
The table of the six course banquet was decorated with cut carnations and smilax was sprinkled about.
ENGINEER'S PARTY.
The Engineers gave their first party Saturday evening, March 25th, in Fraternal Aid Hall. About eighty couples danced to the music of a seven piece orchestra. The party was such a success in every way that it will, no doubt, be repeated in the future.

CORNELL IS TO HAVE A HALL OF FAME.
A set of rules has been drawn up by a committee of Cornell professors and students to regulate the hanging of portraits in the University gymnasium. The rules are as follows: "The matter of hanging portraits in the gymnasium shall be under the control of a committee consisting of the president of the Athletic Council, the professor of Physical Culture, the president of the senior class and the editor-in-chief of the Cornell Daily Sun, No portrait shall be hung in the gymnasium except the following: a. Portraits of the 'Varsity eight in their shell, and of the captains of the 'Varsity football, baseball and track teams. b. If any other man shall have achieved unusual and notable distinction in any branch of sport, his portrait may be hung.

We were all very much shocked to learn that the Washburnites of the '80's danced real dances, played with real cards with spots on them and drank genuine beer. In these latter days we never get nearer than to imagine vain things.-Washburn Review.
The girls' track meet will be held on the afternoon of April 15. The program is as follows: high-jump, broad jump, pole vault, hurdling, basket-throwing, one-halt mile run, class relay race, and a game of ricochet.
The affair will be an invitation affair and only girls will be admitted.-Minnesota Daily.
Hereafter the women of Chicago University who take first place in any athletic meet or make a place on any first team will be rewarded with pins having the letter "C."
The library of the University of Michigan has arranged a semicircular shelf around the reading room and placed five thousand of the most used books there—an arrangement ment adding much to the convenience of the students and preventing much waiting and delay in changing books at the desk. The position of the new shelf is such that the former plan of "segregation" became inconvenient and was discontinued, and the sexes no longer occupy separate sides of the room. However, seven tables are still reserved for women.
A list of the Missouri students who passed the Missouri Rhodes scholarship examinations held
Michigan's "anti-graft" committee began its work a year ago. This week it reorganized the Michiganensium, a student year book, from which profits of $1,000 to $4,000 annually were made by a coterie of less than half a dozen seniors. It has purchased the Michigan Daily, a student paper, has incorporated the Inlander, the college magazine, in order better to supervise its finances, and has discovered that a gold mine of graft has existed in the Students' Lecture association. Up to this year, Professor Patterson says, it was usually run by irresponsible students, who kept their accounts on manila paper, which was tossed into the waste basket. In past years, the lectnre association has ended the year as much as $600 in debt, and the money has not always been paid. This year, under faculty supervision, the boys have paid $1,000 more than usual for their talent, and at the end of the year, had $2,500 profits. The faculty's investigations into former transactions has resulted in expulsions.
FRATERNITY BASEBALL.
At a meeting of the InterFraternity Baseball League, Sunday afternoon, it was decided to strike out the amendment to the Constitution which required the last year's champions, the Phi Psis will have to play three games this year instead of one. The teams were paired off by lot. The first game will be between Alpha Tau Omega and Sigma Alpha Epsilon, the second between Beta Theta Pi, and Phi Gamma Delta, the third between Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Nu and Phi Kappa Psi. The winners of the first game will play the winners of the fourth game and the winners of the second will play the winners of the third. The winners of these two games will play for the championship pennant and silver trophy cup offered by the Schmelzer Arms Co., of Kansas City. A committee will meet the first Tuesday after the Spring vacation to decide upon the dates for all the games.
Manager Plank and Dr. Naismith went to Kansas City this afternoon to attend the second contest of the championship series of basketball games between the K. C. A. C. and the Buffalo Y. M. C. A.

While we are worried over the typhoid situation it might be well to give thanks that we have not the troubles they have at William Jewel College. There are forty cases of small-pox among the students of that institution and the gymnasium has been turned into a temporary hospital for the accommodation of the patients.
The bringing of the teachers to our midst last week was right in line with the policy of advertisement pursued by the present officials of the University. We will get an inestimable amount of good from the visit of those eight hundred teachers. In four
If the rumors are correct, which we hear, next year will see a number of our present teaching force in other Universities Most of them are lured away by larger salaries elsewhere. Someday we will have a large enough maintenance fund that when we secure a man of genius we can keep him.

FASTING GOOD FOR AN ATHLETE.
This examination showed that while his endurance powers were a little less, yet his nerves were quicker in action. This would tend to show that for the men behind the line in a football game, a certain amount of fasting is a good thing, while for those who are needed for the weight that they put into the game, should not indulge in it much. Of course, this test was
Dr. Naismith has made an interesting test of the results of fasting upon the physical condition of an athlete. W.B. Phil lips consented to be experimented upon. He was weighed, measured and given the regular University tests as to strength, alertness and so forth. He fasted for three days, a record being kept of his exercises and school duties. He lived an ordinary life except that he did not eat. His studies were kept up regularly, and at the end of that time he was again examined.

This has been done in the past to some extent and it is from this past experience that physical directors require the men under them to eat very lightly or not at all just before entering a contest.

PROF. BAILEY ON THE SALT INDUSTRY OF U.S.
Professor Bailey has just received a pamphlet containing his article on "Recent Progress in the Salt Industry in the United States of America" reprinted from the Report of the Fifth International Congress of Applied Chemistry at Berlin.
In the article Professor Bailey says, the salt industry in this country has made material advancement.
The salt districts of Michigan, New York, Kansas and Ohio furnish about ninety per cent of the total output. Smaller quantities are furnished by California, Utah, West Virginia, Louisiana, Oklahoma Territory, Texas Pennsylvania and a few other States.
The production of salt in Michigan has been nearly double in the last five years. This state ranks first as a salt producer, while New York follows closely. Kansas, which state ranks third now, has been known as a salt producing state only since 1888 and in 1902 there were sixteen companies operating in the state The lake ponds on the shore of the great Salt Lake are capable of producing 1,500,000 tons of salt per year, but the expense of shipping is so great that it is not a very profitable industry. The main supply of salt in California is from ocean water which is evaporated by solar heat.

How many students of the University would want to isolate themselves from the outer world for seven weeks and spend from eight to twelve hours each day studying? There are certainly not very many but that is just what one ex-student has done.
BECAME A HERMIT.
John Poos enrolled as Freshman in the College last Fall and attended the University one term. Sometime during that term he read the notice of the civil service examination for teachers in the Philippines and decided to take the examination. As he could not take the preparatory studies in the University that he wanted, he decided to go some place at the end of the first term, where he would not be interrupted in his studies. Just before he left at the end of the term Poos said "I want to go to some small post-office where I can get my mail and provisions. I am not certain yet, exactly where I will go." Nothing more was learned of what he had done until a short time ago when one of his friends learned that he was located near Lake View. This friend visited him last Sunday afternoon and said on his return, "Poos is living in a tent about six miles up the river and about three hundred yards from the river bank. He is comfortably fixed in his tent and has spent from eight to twelve hours each day studying in preparation for the examination which he took last week at Topeka.
He says that he has enjoyed the seven weeks he spent studying even if it was rather lonesome.

PRACTICAL LAW WORK.
Prof. W. E. Higgins, of the law school has sent to graduates of that school who are now practicing law, the following open letter:
"At such times as may suit your convenience or necessity, please send the undersigned a statement of the facts of a case which has arisen in the course of your practice and upon which you desire a brief. State the case upon paper of legal cap size using the following form:
1. Name and class.
2. Office address.
3. Date of sending.
5. Statement of facts.
4. Last date of desired answer.
6. Statement of precise questions you wish answered.
The statement of facts will be given to four of the students who will furnish a trial brief which will be forwarded to you. W.E.Higgins
Prof. Higgins hopes to get a number of practical cases and make the brief making work as interesting as possible. Also he helper to give the students a thorough drill in the same work as brief making is one of the most strenuous duties of a lawyer.
Fourty men are in condition for the Inter-collegiate Track Meet which is to be held on April 15. Every school in the University has a team, or part of a team in training except the Medical and Pharmacy schools which was to have furnished a combination team.
IT'S UP TO THE MEDICS AND PHARMICS
The Engineers have several men who took firsts and seconds at Kansas City, but have no middle distance men in training. The lawyers have Ackerman, McCoy and Driscoll with several middle distance men. They are lacking in the hurdles and pole vault. The only hope of the School of Arts is in taking seconds and thirds in the dozen events. Bailey of course is sure of his two miles but no other man among the college men made a first at Kansas City.
Each school will hold a mass meeting immediately after the Spring vacation to elect a captain for the meet.
If the engineers and the lawyers fill up their vacancies the meet will be the closest and most exciting event ever held on McCook field.
Dick Bro's, are headquarter's for Pompeian Cream.
