THE KANSAN.
VOLUME II.
GREAT FINISH
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, DECEMBER 6, 1905.
NUMBER 25
KANSAS HAS WON 11 OUT OF 15 ANNUAL CONTESTS.
Vaunted Defense Crumbled Before Donald and Brunner---- Pooler Runs Ends.
Captain Pooler's men closed the season with a magnificent finish at Kansas City, Thursday, by defeating the Missourians 24 to 0. When the lean, hungry looking boys from Columbia lined up for the kickoff against the heavy Jayhawkers, no one had any doubt about the ultimate outcome. This opinion was firmly established when Brockmeyer was dropped in his tracks by Waring on the first down on an attempted end run, and Kansas grew confident when Missouri was forced to punt after two trials at advancing the ball.
Only a few of the features of the game need be told as every loyal rooter can tell the approximate number of downs it took Kansas to advance the ball to the first touchdown, or how Donald, Brunner and Pooler torc through the Tigers' line. Only for a short time did the Columbia boys show good form. They started down the field about the middle of the first half with surprising vigor. Tillman, Frazier and Brockmeyer were clipping off five yards at a time through the right side of the Kansas line, but their pace was too strenuous and they lost the ball on downs on the Kansas 12-yard line.
The individual work of Brunner, Donald and Pooler was simply superb. Waring played a great game at right half. He was always in the game and helped the man with the ball in a fashion that was good to see. Reed was a real mountain when Brockmeyer or Frazier tried the left side. The Kansas City boy was placed against Captain Anderson, the star of the Missouri team, and so fierce was Reed's playing that the Tigers' captain had to leave the game, completely worn out.
The season just closed has been a successful one. Although in some respects the team had more green material to start with than last year, Kennedy certainly developed a great team.
The remainder of, the season was played without any scores being made on the team.
Manager Lansdon is to be congratulated on his successful management of the team and Coach Kennedy's untiring zeal deserves merited praise.
Washburn and Colorado were the only teams to score on our boys. Washburn had a great offense, but both her touchdowns were made on Kansas fumbles.
ALL MISSOURI VALLEY TEAM.
"The Kansan" Figures out the Personnel. Kansas Gets Three Players, Nebraska, Four.
A Kansan reporter "got busy" during vacation and made out an 'All Missouri Valley Eleven.' Nebraska, without doubt, is champion of this district, Colorado second and Kansas third. It is doubtful whether Colorado has a better aggregation than Kansas University, as the game between the two universities was played in Denver in a high altitude and after a long, wearing trip by the Jayhawkers.
The eleven:
R. E.-Johnson, Nebraska
L. E.-Benedict, Nebraska
R. T.-Brunner, Kansas
L. T.-Donald, Kansas
R. G.-Cotton, Nebraska
L. G.-Brown, Washburn
C.-Borg, Nebraska
Q.-Pooler, Kansas.
R. H.-Brockmeyer, Missouri
L. H.-Caley, Colorado
F. B.-Roberts, Colorado
For ends on such an aggregation, Johnson and Benedict of Nebraska are superior to any others in this territory.
Kansas deserves the two tackles. Donald and Brunner are names that are known all over the West. For short ground gainers, Nebraska or Colorado has no equals.
Cotton of Nebraska is by all means the best guard in the Missonri Valley and a team mate is hard to find. Brown, of Washburn, comes the nearest to filling the bill.
Borg, another Cornhusker is the leading center and has no competitor since Michaelson left Kansas.
Pooler is by far the quarterback of the Missouri Valley. He calls the signals with the best of them and in place kicking has no superior.
The half-backs are Caley, of Colorado, and Brockmeyer, of Missouri. Caley is a good ground gainer and a fine punter and while Brockmeyer is only playing his first year he is a wonder.
Benedict or Pooler would be a good captain for such a team for both have had four years of experience. Caley, Benedict or Pooler could do the punting with about the same skill.
Roberts, the big Colorado fullback, has everyone outclassed for this position.
The Allemania club gave its annual Thanksgiving banquet Tuesday night, November 28, at the house, 1308 Massachusetts street. The toast master of the occasion was John Bender, and the toasts responded to were: "Gott sei dank," Prof. W. H. Carruth; "Hobbies," Mabel Davis; "Allemania," Harry Rhodes; "Reveries," Eva Baker; "It Was the Dutch," Paul Cory; "Danksagungstag," Kate Lesley; "Dimples," Louis Bohn, and "Original Research," Florence Shields.

KANSAS AHEAD FINANCIALLY ON SEASON.
Manager Lansdon Has Given Satisfaction in His Conduct of Business Matters.
On Thanksgiving day the gross receipts amounted to $9,750. After deducting $2,230 for expenses, $7,520 remained. Kansas shared equally with Missouri,and had $3,760 as her share. While the figures have not been definitely ascertained, the athletic association has come out several hundred dollars ahead for the season.
MANAGER LANSDON
BENEAVY
The football season just closed under the management of W. R. Lansdon has been one of the most successful in many years.
Last spring when a new manager of athletics was to be chosen, the greatest qualification, as voiced by students and faculty, was tact. Manager Landsdon possessed this and still more, he has run football as a business proposition. He treated the boys as gentlemen and the result is that the best of feeling exists between the manager and the players. At McCook fewer men have been on the side lines this year than ever before. He has first of all had in mind the accommodation of the spectators. He has made the price of admission more reasonable than heretofore and has been rewarded with great crowds at all the games.
TRAINS MEN FOR .VARSITY.
The Freshmen Team Has Developed Some Speedy and Sure Football Men.
The creditable work done by the Freshman football squad gives the coach of the 'Varsity a line on new men to take the place of the veterans who graduate next spring. The enviable record made by the first year men testifies to the good training received from 'Shorty' Hamil. Next year they will not don suits as inexperienced men. Crowell made a remarkable showing at tackle and his speed has developed to such an extent that he promises to make this year's backs "hurry up" if
they want their old position
hey want their old position. Captain Veach while out of a number of games, is fast and has weight enough to hold a back field position before he closes up his four year course. Coulter has weight and speed and showed good head work at Quarter. 'Varsity men see in him the probable successor to Pooler. Matlock and Dahlene are promising men back of the line while Pleasant and Cohn will be "from Missouri" when the vacant places in the line are to be filled.
CLEAN HANDS.
Chancellor Satisfied with Athletic Conditions=-Thanks Football Men.
The football season just closed is in many respects the most noteworthy and successful in years. Kansas has won the respect of this section of the football world by the consistency and fairness of the football team, and the athletic management.
Chanceillor Strong in thank ing the members of the football team for their efforts strongly emphasized his satisfaction when he said in chapel Tuesday: "I am perfectly satisfied with the condition of our athletics. Our hands are clean. The boys have played a clean, hard, gentlemanly game this year, and I want to thank them personally, and on behalf of the University for their work. We have nothing to fear in the way of an attack on athletic conditions. We have a clean coach and a clean team, and I feel that I can go before any body of men and champion them."
ANOTHER DEBATE.
The Council Will Arrange Three This Year.
The University Debating Council has definitely decided to arrange for a University debate in addition to those already scheduled with Missouri and Iowa. If possible the third debate will be with a state university, and either Nebraska, Oklahoma or Texas would be acceptable to the council.
In case an inter-state debate cannot be arranged, a Baker debate is practically assured. Baker has been asked to submit a draft of the agreement she desires, and they will be discussed at the next meeting of the council.
The committee of the council has several questions from which to select the question for the debate with Missouri which will be held here this year. The committee is: Professor Boynton and Frazier and B.A. Earhart, Wilbern Parker and Alfred Tritt. Iowa has not yet chosen the question for the Iowa-Kansas debate which will be held at Ames, Iowa.

On last Thursday Captain Bert Pooler played his last game of football for the University of Kansas. Pooler was probably dearer in the affections of the students than any athletic idol they have ever known. His was the kind of playing that made you hug the girl in front of you or beat 'stoves' into the stiff hat of her partner. It was not the steady unfailing march of Donald or Bruner, but a snap, a dash, a dodge, a hurdle, and then from a thousand throats would come the exultant cry that "Pooler was loose again."
Captain Bert never got hurt; he might be tackled at full speed, or himself make a flying tackle of a 200 pounder but the whistle never blew for time out on Pooler's account. His punts were the delight of the multitude. They went high, far and curved in such treacherous fashion. Three years ago at Kansas City, in gathering darkness, a tie game was turned into a glorious victory for Kansas by Pooler's long place kick from the forty yard line.
Off the football field Pooler was as modest of his accomplishments as a school girl. He never spoke of them and rather shunned than liked publicity. The little quarter-back cared little for society and seldom appeared at social functions, but there was never a jayhawker that was more of a "good fellow" than he.
Pooler has finished four years of faithful service on the gridiron for Old K. U. It will probably be many a day before Kansas will have an athletic hero of whom she will sing with as much enthusiasm as she has sung for four years "O Mr. Pooler, the greatest man the country ever knew."
It was a glorious victory, by a great team, on a great day.
Kansas City saw more enthusiasm on the part of the Kansans last Thursday night than for several years past. The hotels and theaters were apprised of the Jayhawkers' victory in no uncertain tones.
Carried away by the magnificent playing of our team on last Thursday, we should not however forget the man on the sideline who made it all possible. Coach Kennedy came out of the season more than a conqueror. He did not have the best of material to begin with and sometimes before a big game he lost his best men but out of it all only 26 points are marked down against the Jayhawkers. Great is the Kansas team but greater is Kennedy.
If at any time it has been thought that the only way to have a winning team in football was to disregard and evade the restrictions with which the University authorities seek to secure the amateur and class standing of her athletes, that idea has been pretty well exploded by the events of this year. Not only has a team been maintained which, while conforming to the strictest rules, has lost but one game, but the culminating victory of the season was won against a team whose school discredits the freshman rule as being too far in advance of present football conditions. K. U. stands today the foremost champion of the "square deal" in college athletics, and this season's football men have done much to earn the place for her.

Casuality List of Football Large. Only Three College Men Hurt.
During the past few weeks, the United States has been agitated about the increasing "brutal" character of football. Several noted men, among them President Roosevelt and General Miles, have come out against football as it is played now and the whole country seems to be interested as it never was before. Columbia University has placed a ban upon the game and New York University seems likely to do the same.
It will be interesting to note the cause of all this commotion. According to the Chicago Record-Herald 18 deaths have resulted from the game this season, with only three college men among the number. The remainder were high school boys. It is a noticeable fact that among the larger colleges only one or two serious accidents have occurred. Captain Hurley of Harvard and Vanderboom of Wisconsin received injuries which compelled them to give up the game for the season, but outside of those mentioned the larger institutions have had little cause for agitation against the game. Kansas has had no serious accidents for several years.
Those who do not wish to abolish the game entirely believe that there should be more open play—more end runs and no close formations, thus enabling the officials to see every foul perpetrated. This scheme would no doubt be effectual in stopping intentional rough work, but as everyone acquainted with the game knows, more accidents are caused by end runs than by mass plays. The man carrying the ball generally disables the tackler, and usually suffers some injury himself as he is thrown to the ground. On the other hand, mass plays can not be so dangerous, as the momentum of the runner is not so great.
Eighteen men killed seems a large casuality list for a sport's sake, but if the same number of boys had gone swimming, hunting or indulged in any other vigorous out-door sport, there would probably be little difference in the mortality. One thing this year's record proves, is that high school boys without training have little right to play the game. Fifteen of the eighteen killed came from among the high schools or academies or town teams that had no training.

Basket Ball Prospects.
The basket ball men will now step into the limelight. On account of not having enough men eligible, a game with Baker was turned down. There is plenty of new material at hand, but it cannot be made use of until after the first of February. Silver is still holding the fort at center, M. Miller and Winnagle are the only guards developed so far. Davis is having bad luck with his arm. He has suffered a dislocated shoulder three times in the last month and may not be able to play until after Christmas. Barlow and W. Miller are the other forwards. The freshman team has been able to hold its own with the 'Varsity. It is composed of Allen and McCune, forwards, Bergen, center, Johnson, Dahlene, DeWeese or Kirk, guards.
Engineers' Banquet.
The Engineers will hold their sixth annual banquet Friday evening, December the eighth, at the New Eldridge House.
Dean Marvin will act as toast master and among those on the toast list will be Daniel Boutecou, of Kansas City, one of the best known engineers in the middle west; W. J. Squire, the head of the Squire Electric Co. of Kansas City; Dana Templin of the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient R.R. and probably one or two other noted engineers from Topeka and other nearby towns.
Chancellor Strong and several of the professors and students will also give brief toasts. Altogether this should be one of the best banquets ever held and every engineer should be present.

A Good Time for Ten Cents.
The County Fair next Saturday, under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A., is your chance to have more fun than you've had any time this year, and it will cost you only ten cents. It is not merely a money-making graft of the association, but a genuine lark. It is the one chance of the year to meet and get acquainted with everybody in the University, for they will all be there. Every club, society, fraternity, and sorority will be there in force, and will be there to have a good time.
There will be several side-shows for which special admission will be charged, but although some are worth much more, the rule which held last year will continue this, that nothing shall be more than five cents. This is meant to put the pleasure of the evening within the reach of everyone. Moreover, ten cents, the price of admission alone, will bring to everyone the jolliest evening he has ever spent at Kansas University. All the booths and some of the performances are free, and just to see the people in costume is a dollar's worth of fun.
It is not necessary to dress in costume to have a good time, but it adds to it greatly.
Buster Brown, Samantha and Josiah Allen, the country bride and groom, the organ grinder, and a host more of interesting characters will visit the fair, and make it "successer" with reference to last year's success.
Freshman as Track Men.
The weight men and the pole vaulters are the only track men working out this week. Putnam, Eddy, Wallace and Dahlene have been throwing the hammer. Putnam is throwing the hammer 120 feet. Donald would make a champion weight man. Russell, of the freshman football team, is the star pole vaulter. The hurdlers should take advantage of every fine day to practice their stride. Indoor pole-vaulting will be practiced every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon from 5 to 6 o'clock.
He Walked 39 Miles.
With blistered feet and tired limbs, Sam McReynolds wobbled into the Coates House at Kansas City Thursday at 11 o'clock after a 39 mile walk. "Sam" had made an oyster stew wager with four girls at his club that he would accomplish the feat and with a determination seldom equalled he succeeded. He started as the clock announced the midnight hour Wednesday night. Mr. McReynolds figured that the journey would give him greater endurance and make possible the lowering of a record next spring on one of the long distance runs.
Donald or Brunner.
The captaincy of the '06 foot ball team lies between Donald and Brunner. The two men have each played three years and each has won practically the same honors. Donald has played his position at left tackle every year, while Brunner has been shifted from tackle to fullback. Donald weighing 210 pounds is the best short ground gainer that Kansas ever had, while Brunner's line plunges can not be stopped. It makes no difference which of the two men is chosen, Kansas will be assured of having a great leader next year.
Doctor Naismith will organize classes in boxing and wrestling for football men from 4:30 to 5:30 on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings. The track team will be given the floor from 5:00 to 6:00 on Tuesday Thursday evenings until Christmas.

Thanksgiving Program.
Snow literary society gave a special Thanksgiving program in the west German room last Saturday evening. Thanksgiving stories were read by Miss Baker and Mr.Douglas.The debate was, "Resolved, That roast turkey is more essential to Thanksgiving than pumpkin pie," and was decided in the affirmative. On account of the County Fair, the next meeting will be December 16, when Santa Klaus will be present.
The following new members were voted in at a meeting of the membership committee last night: The two Misses Anderson, Misses Daum and Morton, and Messrs. Hovey, Copper and Shippy.

MEDLEY OF FUN
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, DECEMBER 9, 1905.
Y. W. C. A. GIVES SECOND AN- NUAL COUNTY FAIR.
Hoop La Chorus, Marble Lady the Plantation, Theta Tin Band, Some Features.
"Hot Weineys," "Here to get your popcorn," send a "Telegram for a penny," "This way to the Plantation," "See the great and only Hoop la Chorus," "She charms them, she charms them-alive" are some of the sounds that met you today at Snow Hall when the doors of the second annual County Fair swung open. It was a medley of fun with a place to spend every spare penny or nickel about you.
At the entrance the odor of sizzling weinerwursts from the Dutch club's booth whetted the appetite for the beer and pretzels to follow. The marble lady, Arlulia, statuesque and beautiful, sat on a high pedestal at the north end of the hall. At 10 o'clock she would unveil and to him who had guessed her identity would be given a handsome pennant. Across from her was Sihyl Betts, the snakecharmer, fearlessly she wound the silent denizens of the tropics about her neck and waist.
Down the aisle Helen Ballsey conducted the baby show. Blonde babies and brunette babies, pretty babies and babies that weren't so pretty coo-ed and chuckled in their immaculate dresses.
The Kappa girls in Japanese costume sold candy that made you wish for more. That din at the end of the hall is the Theta tin band. They studied in Europe under Sorrentino and if you don't appreciate it your musical education is at fault. Root, the strong man, juggled and balanced tables and chairs until you grew dizzy.
The Chi Omegas sold the "bestest" kind of popcorn in a booth all dazzling with the snowy grains. Ivy Brock conducted the Adt. booth. A message could be sent to any one on the grounds for a penny. In the amphitheater across the hall, saucy, petit, Kate Reynolds in her iminitable way conducted"The Plantation" and the pantomine "Sweet Alice Brown."
The best is last, down in the basement The Hoop La Chorus girls held forth. Primma Donna Beech, Calmina Miller and Calvina Schwinn sang and danced their way into the affections of their auditors.
The Y. W. girls made $105 on the fair last year. They hope to double that amount this year.
The money goes to defray the current expenses of the Y. W. C. A.
Orchestra Concert.
The annual Fall concert by the University Orchestra will take place in Fraser Hall Thursday evening, December 14th. The soloists will be Mrs. Lyons and Miss Phipps. This will be the only concert this year by the Orchestra as the remainder of the year will be devoted to the opera "Der Freischutz" and the Commencement music. The program is as follows:
Skilton.—Overture for the Dedication of the Law Building repeated by request.
Lassen.-All Souls Day.
Trombone solo by Mr. Farnsworth.
Strauss.—Egyptian March.
Saraste.—Gypsy Melodv.
Violin Solo by Miss Phipps. Gounod.- Selection from "Faust".
Hollsender.—Spinning Song for Stringed Orchestra.—Marcietta. Flute Sole, Mr. McGeorge. Clarinet Solo, Mr. Woodruff.
Sotoli.—Glory to God, Mrs.
Lyons.
Meyerbeer. - Coronation March.
To Have Series of Parties.
The sophomore class met Thursday noon and adopted the report of the party committee. Rex Singleton, as chairman, gave the following report: First party, December 16; second, January 20; third, February 16; fourth, March 16; fifth, April 20. All the parties will be given in the F. A. A. hall, and the music will be furnished by a six piece orchestra under "Shanty" Newhouse's direction. This series of dances will be open to the members of all the classes of the University.
At the annual engineer's election Friday, the straight Engineers' Barb ticket was elected. The men on this ticket are: President, J. Rex Thorpe; VicePresident, Roy E. Ridnour; Secretary and Treasurer, Oscar Dahlene. Heretofore this year the Representative Ticket has been elected at all the elections of classes, etc. But at the engineers' election, the majority of the fraternities backed the Barb ticket and by doing active work among the Freshman the Barb ticket was elected. Those on the Representative ticket were President G. P. MacKenzie, Vice-President Roy Ridnour; Secretary and Treasurer, Otto Apollo.
After his lecture yesterday F. L. Vandergrift offered a prize of $10.00 to the member of the newspaper classes writing the best article of a thousand words about "Toothpicks." The article must be typewritten and sent to him at Topeka. Congressman Victor Murdock will judge the manuscripts.

ENGINEERS FEAST
GIVEN IN NEW ELDRIDGE=-153 COVERS LAID.
Chancellor Strong Promises New Building for the Engineers.
It was a jolly crowd of engineers that gathered in the new Eldridge last night for the sixth annual banquet. One hundred and fifty-three covers were laid for the engineers and their guests. By nine o'clock the parlors were filled and "He Rambled," "A Jolly Engineer," and "Drink it down" passed the time away until Chancellor Strong and Dean F. O. Marvin entered, when cheer after cheer, interspersed with "Hyperbolic paraboloid," filled the corridors.
"New Engineering Building," Chancellor Frank Strong.
At 9:30 the "Miners,""Civils," "Electricals,""Mechanicals," and "Chemicals" moved down to the dining hall where a five-course dinner interested them until Toastmaster Marvin gave the signal for the speechmaking to begin.
"Specifications for an Engineer," Prof. H. A. Rice.
"From a Sophomore," Rex Singleton.
"The Back sight of a K. U. Graduate." Dana Templin.
"Engineers Not Alchemists," Professor E. H. S. Bailey.
"From the Point of View of Experience," Dan Bountecou.
"1904-5," G. Clyde Baldwin.
"Some Eastern Engineering Schools." Prof. P, F. Walker.
NUMBER 26
"Engineering and Business," W. J. Squire.
"Something," Charles Corp.
"Something," Charles Corp.
"My First Engineering Banquet,"
Carl Dassler.
"Theory vs Practice," Daniel McFarland.
"A Peep into the Future," J. Rex Thorpe.
Chancellor Strong's toast on a "New Engineering Building" was the most interesting of any speech during the evening. The Chancellor's attitude toward improvement in the engineering school was well known, and his assertion that the next legislature would be asked for a new building was greeted with wild enthusiasm. The Chancellor plans to enlarge the total number of engineering buildings to four and thus make the equipment of our technical school equal to the best institutions in the country.
Mr. Bounticou's toast as well as Mr. Squires' was especially interesting as both men represent the practical side of engineering. The Squires Electrical Co., of which Mr. Squires is a member, is one of the best in the country.
Clyde Baldwin, the retiring president of the engineers, told a great many anecdotes, and thanked the engineers for past favors. Rex Thorpe, the new president, promised greater things than ever for next year.
TO THE AVERAGE MAN.
President Pihlblad Says His Day is Coming.
"History of the future is going to be made by the average man, by the man of merely ordinary abilities",said President Pihlblad of Bethany college in his chapel address yesterday morning. President Pihlblad is of the opion that history has unduly emphasized the work of the few men of genius and undervalued the support of the multitudes that gave them support.
"The average man is coming to the front in the future. All political and social signs point that way. Our educational system recognizes it. The work of the University is to train the ordinary man to be useful and capable and is not to develop the occasional scholar or exceptional genius."
Vote on Baker Debate Monday.
The Debating Council will take a final vote on the proposition to debate with Baker University this year at an adjourned session next Monday. Baker's draft of the decision compact was discussed at the meeting of the council yesterday, and some changes were suggested.
The council is pretty evenly divided on the proposition, but if all the members of the council are present Monday, it will probably carry. In general,the law schools and Snow society are in favor of the debate,and the faculty members and X.Y.Z. representatives oppose it.
Laws Give Annual Scrimmage.
The Laws gave their third annual "Scrimmage" last night in Fraternal Aid hall. All the members of the football team were invited. Dean J. W. Green and Mrs. Green followed by Chancellor and Mrs. Strong led the grand march. About 75 couples danced till three o'clock. The music was furnished by Newhouse's sevenpiece orchestra. Refreshments were served at eleven o'clock during the intermission. Pennants of all the schools defeated by Kansas this year were hung across the stage with a large Kansas pennant in the center.
Miss Margaret Hammond favored the dancers with music during the intermission.
On the programs was a design of a football and a player kicking goal. Late in the evening the Engineers came down and serenaded the Laws.
The K. U. Mandolin Club will give a concert in the chapel the evening of December 18. They have a complete mandolin orchestra of ten pieces and are playing some very fine music this year. The K. U. Quartette will also sing.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1905
The question the faculty fear to hear these days is, "do you speak or sing?"
The Y. W. girls believe in advertising. There isn't a thing about the University, movable or immovable, that hasn't a notice of the County Fair pasted or pinned on it.
The Kansan is planning to get out the most elaborate special number ever gotten out by the University paper. It will be in magazine form with dark blue cover and design in red.
The friends of Malcolm McNaughton are glad to see him on the hill again. "Mac" has had a hard siege of it; for six weeks he has been bedfast with typhoid fever. It was exceptionally hard because "Mac" was making good at fullback on the 'Varsity when he was taken ill.
Although the Thanksgiving game is almost forgotten in Kansas circles, Missouri editors are still discussing the prospects of next year's team. Arthur Aull, of the Lamar Democrat, says, "If we were the head of the football department at M. S. U. we'd either get together eleven fellows who could walk down the field to the Jayhawkers' goal or we'd bankrupt the state treasury. The Tiger ought to either strew the gridiron with Jayhawker tailfeathers, or else return for good to the jungles."
We have more things than a successful football season to be thankful for as the season closes. We have the united support of the students for the athletic management and its policies, and we have the satisfaction of feeling that those policies are right, and these things will amount to more in the future than even the success of the team. Missouri students are divided into four or five factions over the questions which Kansas settled long ago: Student representation and strict adherence to conference rules. Those things
go a long way in making up the Kansas spirit that helps to win.
An Autumn Evening.
How beautiful an autumn eve,
How pure and still the air!
All nature seems at rest, and Peace
Seems reigning everywhere.
I hear the crickets chirping, still
Out 'neath the leaves so brown
All piled in heaps, a golden mass
The wind has shattered down.
And nearer comes the rumbling
wheels
Of wagons as at night,
The farmer slowly homeward comes
With face sunburned and bright.
No other sounds; and far above,
The clouds with fleecy crests
Grow darker until brightest tins.
Of crimson light the west.
Now timidly, a little star
Peeps out, to show its light;
Until abashed beside the moon's
Bright luster, takes its flight.
O beauteous autumn eve you have
Such thoughts and feelings brought
As lifes one to a higher sphere
To purer, nobler thoughts.
Has Had a Varied Life.
Wm. M. Reno of the class of '95, first Lieutenant of the Medical Corps of the U. S. Army, who is now stationed at Ft. Riley, talked to the newspaper students at 11:15 Wednesday on the Filippinos, their life and customs. Since graduating Mr. Reno has taught school, graduated from the Michigan college of Medicine and in 1900 became an army surgeon. He has travelled over a great part of the world and has vast experiences that are interestingly told. Mr. Reno was the editor of the K. U. Weekly in '95; before joining the army he conducted a newspaper in Mt. Pelier, Ohio, in conjunction with Frank Whitzel '94.
Alice Rose, 05, visited friends Friday and Saturday. She is teaching at Gas City.

All who did not care to be thus made subscribers were requested to so advise some member of the board. This notice is a gentle reminder that very few of these subscriptions have been paid.

There was a bold young engineer, Who'd just got out of school, He had a lot of great big books.
Engineer's Ramble Song.
He had a lot of great big books,
And knew he was no fool.
They set him marking station-pins,
But he didn't know the code.
So they ditched him twelve miles
out of camp,
And let him hunt the road.
Oh didn't he ramble--
He then went down into the depths Where Satan runs the plant.
He got a job as electric man,
And thought he'd make some tin,
They sent him up a big tall pole
To put a feeder in;
He lost his grip and tumbled back,
But grabbed the wires bright.
Then hung on for a moment till
The juice put out his light.
Oh, didn't he ramble
He wanted to see the chief engineer,
But Satan said, "You can't;"
"They're going."
Here are no engineers' down here,
For that could never be."
He then ascended up above,
Then he said, "I guess I'll ramble on;
This is no place for me."
This is no place for me." And on he rambled—
And knocked at the golden gate. The city—it was full of Laws—
He saw he was too late.
They wanted him to take his place
Upon the royal throne
But he said, "I guess I'll ramble on; I'd rather be alone."
I'd rather be alone," And still he rambled.
NEWSPAPER QUALIFICATIONS.
Mr. Vandergrift Tells What a Reporter Should be.
F. L. Vandergrift, for twelve years manager of the "Kansas News Bureau" of the Kansas City Star at Topeka, lectured to the newspaper classes yesterday at 11:15 o'clock on "The Newspaper Man and His Job." Mr. Vandergrift is a man of varied experience and his lecture was one of the most original that has been given to the newspaper classes. He advanced some new and valuable ideas on getting and writing news. He emphasized the importance of a reporter's writing from his own store of knowledge. He said that a receptive mind and a good pair of legs are the first requisites of a reporter, and that one should cultivate the funny side if he would be a good newspaperman. "After all," said he, "the best school of Journalism is the country newspaper.
Mr. Vandergrift graduated from the Cincinnati Law School and practiced law for awhile but could not make a living at that. He quit it and came west and was for several years editor of the "Atchison Patriot" until its publication was discontinued. He then began work for the Kansas City Star where he has had charge of all the political news of the state capitol and of the state for the last twelve years. Mr.Vandergrift said that the salary of the average newspaper reporter is larger than the income of the average doctor or lawyer.

Tissot's Paintings
THE GREATEST PICTURE, "THE DEATH OF MOSES."
Best Color Effects—"Elijah Sees Cloud" and "Flight of the Prisoners."
The exhibition of Tissot's famous paintings of Old Testament scenes will close Wednesday, December 13. The short time left in which these pictures may be seen, seems to have aroused a new interest. The attendance yesterday reached the number of 350.
Tissot's famous color effects are best shown in two paintings, "Elijah from Mt. Carmel sees a Cloud from afar off" and "Elijah runs before the Chariot of Ahab." In the former are the dark peaks in the distance against a blue sky and in the foreground, the figure of Elijah with bowed head and the sunlight falling on the rock on which he is sitting and on one side of his white robe, while on the other side is the reflection of the blue sky. In the latter, the rich color effect characteristic of the soil of that country is contrasted with the dark figure of Elijah. In "The Flight of the Prisoners" the representation of the smoke and the reflection of the fire from the burning buildings against the sky is especially noteworthy.
The portrayal of costumes, on which Tissot spent so much study, is shown in "The Chiefs of the Army" and "Mordecai's Triumph." Especially in the latter, the richness of the robes of Mordecai and the rich trappings of the horse are brought out by contrast with the dull stone arch and the sombre dress of the throng.
Skill in facial expression is shown in the picture of Hosea making his vow, of Habakkuk crying out in despair, of Joel communing with God, and of the daughter of Saul as she beholds the man who has slain her father.
In "Saul Prophesies before Samuel" Tissot has painted a row of men praying and a different character can be read in each face. In "David and Abishag" we find something different from the devotional expressions of the other faces. Here the old king is gazing at the beauty of the maiden at his feet with an expression half of innocence, half of beauty on her face.
"Daniel in the Lions' Den and "The Animals Entering the Ark",bring out the artist's skill in portraying animal life.

Artistic Photography
Principles are eternal. A fundamental business principle is, "Not what you spend, but what you get for what you spend," that counts.
An inspection of of the artistic photographes at the Shane Studio, 615 Massachusetts Street, will reveal reasons for their superiority. Oldest established studio in Lawrence.
Miss Juno B. Shane,
One great picture that combines emotional interest and skill in portrayal is "The Death of Moses." Against a background of hills stretching away as far as the eye can reach is the solitary prostrate figure of the patriarch, with his hand oatstretched and the struggle of his face, and a halo of sunlight around his head like a crown of glory.

Freshmen Beaten.
In the fiercest practice game of this year, the 'Varsity defeated the freshman basket ball team last night by the score of 34 to 12. Winnagle was at the law dance, and Davis is out of the game for the present, so the freshmen went in to win. Smith, who made his "K" in'01, was put in as guard in Winnagle's place, and Martin tried to fill a place at forward. The great work of Miller, the 'Varsity captain, was what made the score so one-sided. He seemed to be everywhere at once. The freshman team, composed of McCune and DeWeese, forwards; Allen, center; Bergen and Johnson, guards, elected Forrest Allen captain after the game. The strangest part of the proceedure was that Meyers, '08, was chairman of the freshman meeting.
Captain Forrest Allen of the Freshman Basketball team, went to Baldwin to visit Baker University this morning.

THE KANSAN.
VOLUME II.
"THE KANSAN"
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, DECEMBER 13, 1905.
WILL ISSUE CHRISTMAS MAGAZINE NUMBER.
Every Organization in the University Will Be Written up.
There will be no issue of The Kansan on this coming Saturday as the reporters and printers will be busy on the Christmas number which will be issued next Wednesday. This issue will be the most elaborate number ever attempted by a University paper. It will be in magazine form with blue cover and design in red. There will be individual pictures of all the members of the 'Varsity and of the captains of the athletic teams. The issue will be given to all subscribers, but instead of having it done by carrier, will be given out in Fraser hall, probably at the check stand. Extra copies can be gotten for ten cents each.
The following persons will take part in the Orchestra Concert to be given in Fraser Hall Thursday evening:
First Violins, Miss Phipps Prof. Hubbard, Mr. Fowler.
Orchestra Concert
Second Violins, MissCarruth, Miss Eugenie Sterling, Miss Lindsay, Mr. Nelson.
Violos, Miss Genevieve Sterling, Mr. Ise.

Mrs. Lyons will sing a Christmas song with piano and organ accompanyment and Miss Phipps will play a "Gypsy Dance" accompanied by the orchestra.
Director, Prof. Skilton.
The schedule for the second term will be posted to-day or to-morrow. This year more than ever before the rule which states that each student in the college must have his work planned two weeks before the term begins will be adhered to.
TO AWARD SIXTEEN "K'S."
Five Substitutes Recommended for Plain Sweaters.
The athletic board met Monday noon and accepted the report of the foootball "K" committee. Prof. J. N. Van der Vries as chairman of the committee recommended that the following men be awarded the honored letter: Donald, Brunner, Reed, Rouse, White, Heinzman, Strickler, Hart, Angney, Miller, Waring, Pooler, McNaughton, Meyers, Burt, and Milton. The names of Pingrey, Wilson, Root, Ahlborn, Brawley, were recommended to receive sweaters for their good work as reserves. Owing to the fact that all suits and training table board bills are not yet paid, the athletic board did not take final action on the matter.
A matter in regard to granting the freshman men numerals and jerseys was brought up but not acted upon. The eligibility committee was empowered to take final action upon the eligibility of the basket ball men before their initial game this week.
On The Democrats.
The Democrats of the University have planned an elaborate program to be given on December 16. The University wit saw the program pinned on the law school bulletin board and proceeded to have some fun. When he had finished, it read as follows: Outlook for Democratic success in Kansas. (Poor) Chances for Democratic victory in 1908. (Mighty Blue). Prominent Democrats of to-day. (Minus Quantity). Influence of Roosevelt's great victory of 1904 upon the Democrat party. (Killed it). What the Democrats of K.U.may do for the party. (Nothing).
Mandolin Club Program.
The following program will be given by the mandolin club next Monday evening:
Grand Medley Overture, Club.
Grand Medley Overture, Club. Wilhelm Tell, Club. Jayhawker quartette. Solo, Goldman. San Souci Overture, Club. Gaytella Waltezes, Club. Jayhawker quartette. Mandolin quartette. Toyland selection, Club. The Jayhawker quartette is composed of the following members: Messrs. Foster, Copley, indey and Sellars.
Frank Rupert, of the Senior class, was called to his home in Arkansas City, Saturday night, by a telegram announcing the death of his step-mother.
CAPTAIN DONALD
The Y. W. C. A. County Fair at Nebraska last week cleared $280.
THE LA HARPE BOY SELECTED ON THE FIRST BALLOT.
It Was in Doubt Until the Last Minute. Neither Brunner nor Donald Present.
C. Prentis Donald, the star tackle of the Kansas eleven, was elected captain for the 1906 season yesterday. When the members of the squad met in the manager's office, everyone knew that the two candidates would make a close race, but Donald was conceded to have the better of the race. On an informal ballot taken before the election, the vote stood 11 for Donald and 9 for Brunner. On the first ballot, Donald was elected by a vote of 13 to 7. The election leaves the two men as good friends as before, and the best of feeling prevails.
NUMBER 27
The new captain is one of the best players in the country. If he had a chance he could hold his own with any of the star players in the East. Weighing over 210 with every ounce brawn and muscle, it takes half of an opposing team to stop him when he gets started. At Kansas City on Thanksgiving, he made his distance with or without interference, although the Tigers would be hanging on three and four at a time.
Donald made his reputation against Nebraska two years ago in the game that Nebraska almost lost. He made almost all of the gains and by his work Kansas was able to advance the ball more than twice the distance of the Cornhuskers.

TO DEBATE BAKER.
The solid vote of the law school clubs and Snow Literary decided the question of a Baker debate in the affirmative this afternoon. The faculty members of the council were not present. The debate will probably be held here some time in April.
Professor J. E. Boodin resumed his lectures before the Psychology classes today after a week's illness.
WILL PUBLISH GERMAN BUL- LETIN.
University Department will Send It to High School Students. Will Entertain Students Next Spring.
Professor E. F. Engel of the German department is preparing to issue a German bulletin soon after the holidays, a copy of which will be sent free to every high school student of German in the state. In the first number will be printed a tabulated list of all the high schools offering work in German, together with the amount of work done, and the number of students in each. The bulletin will be a four page folder, and, if the University will support it, will be issued quarterly by the department. This is only a part of the plans of the department to get in touch with the German work in the high schools, in order that work of a uniform quality will be offered for entrance.
Next spring at the time of the conference of high school principals here in April, the department will give a special entertainment to which all second and third year German students in the state will be invited. The program will consist of the play by Beurdix, "Die Lurgnerin" besides songs by the German chorus. The cast of the play is about filled, and rehearsals will begin soon after vacation.
Betas Make Hit.
The Beta "Hoop a La" chorus proved to be the great "hit" at the County Fair. 600 persons enjoyed the chorus. Not many of the spectators knew that the handsome girls were really boys until they began to sing, and then the "cat was out of the bag." Prima Donna Anderson was plainly the star of the cast.
The Daily Nebraskan coincides with the Kansan's "All Missouri valley team" with the exception of fullback, which it gives to Mason, the Nebraskan, instead of Roberts of Colorado. "As to the rest of the makeup of this 'All Missouri Valley eleven' we could suggest no changes that would better the lineup," says the Nebraskan.
Sophomore Party.
The sophomores will give the first of their series of parties in Fraternal Aid hall on next Saturday night. Everyone in the University is cordially invited. Tickets may be procured of Rex Singleton for 75 cents.
Prof. C. E. Hubach has arranged for some of the most popular Christmas music for the Vesper service, Sunday. Mr. Hutchinson, pastor of the Baptist church will deliver a short address.

The County Fair was a success both from the point of view of the spectators and the lady at the box office.
Exit Captain Pooler, enter Captain Donald, a worthy successor in the line of Vincent, Brummage, Hicks and Pooler.
It is to be understood that when Mr. Harger advocated doing what one likes, he did not consider those whose only delight is in doing nothing.
The Minnesota Daily, referring to the charges made against Minnesota's method of getting athletes, comes out with this sweeping statement: "Even granting the veracity of all of Mr. Jordan's statements, it is plain that athletics at Minnesota are purer and cleaner than at any of her rival colleges." This may be true, but we see no reason for Minnesota assuma "Holier than Thou" attitude.
Why is it that so many B. U. students who attended the game at Kansas City Thanksgiving rooted for Kansas? Although Baker and K. U. are on the best of terms and aid each other in a contest of this kind, yet there is a healthful rivaly between the two schools that is most intense whenever they oppose each other in contests. Kansas had no better friend in this great game than Baker, yet when it comes our chance to clash with them in debate, oratory or athletics,Baker will oppose them with the same zeal that was expressed in the great Thanksgiving event. Baker Orange.
A fine feature of the contest for football captain was the good feeling prevailing between the candidates. Each had worked for the honor and each deserved it. As a prominent member of the 'Varsity said "it is too bad we can't give it to both of them". Brunner would probably have taken a more active command of the team on the field than the present captain but "Don" as he is familiarly known has done so much for the University that it would have seemed like ingratitude not to give him the place.

On Roman Character.
Professor Walter Dennison, of Michigan University, lectured in Blake Hall last night on Roman Life, under the auspices of the Kansas Archological department. Professor Dennison dwelt at length upon the great Roman historical character, Scipio. His portraits of the various characters showing the custom of those times were of special interest to the students of Roman History.

Hodder Edits New Book.
Frank Heywood Hodder, Professor of American History in the University of Kansas. has edited a new edition of "The Present State of the European Settlements on the Mississippi." The exceedingly rare work was issued in London, in 1770. and has been so much in demand by historical students and collectors of Americana, that even imperfect copies of the original are now almost impossible to obtain at any price. The value of the reprint is enhanced by the annotations by Professor Hodder, embodying the results of the latest researches in American historical geography.

THE DRAMATIC CLUB IN "AN AMERICAN CITIZEN"
A Splendid Cast Under the Direction of Prof. Frazier.
The University Dramatic Club gives its sixth annual play Wednesday, December 20. The play is "An American Citizen," a comedy in four acts. The Cast is made up of old members of the club three or four new members only having been elected this year. It is the unanimous opinion of the cast that the play itself is one of the best ever chosen by the club. The business manager is enthusiastic and is preparing adequate stage scenery, costumes, and lighting facilities for the production, and the cast under the direction of Professor Frazier has been doing hard and faithful work.
The play to be given was chosen by the club after reading a large number of other plays and the cast giving the play represents the best dramatic ability in the University. Professor Frazier has personally conducted each rehearsal and has insisted upon serious and finished work from each member of the cast.
A Christmas Present
The author's royalty on the play—$50 for each performance and other expenses incident to a repetition of the play make it impossible to give the play more than one night. Manager Guernsey therefore authorized the statement that under no circumstances will the play be repeated.
The chart will open next Monday morning and, as in the past, the first man in line will be entitled to the first choice of seats. Prices $1.00; 75 and 50 cents.
Miss Ella Weeks of the class of 1901 now assistant in Biology at the State Agricultural College has been appointed to the Kansas University table supported by Mrs. Sarah T. D. Robinson at the Marine Biological Laboratory, at Woods Hole, Massachusetts. The table is for the use of women students who have shown high scholarship in scientific work.
Frank Bales who attended the engineering school last year and who is now in the department store business in Jewell county, was visiting on the bill Monday, with two of his sisters.

C. M. Harger Says Young Man Should Choose Early.
LIFE WORK.
"The best things of life come to the man who is making a living by doing the things he likes to do", said Mr. C. M. Harger, of the University chair of Journalism in chapel yesterday morning. "My advice to a young man is to find out what he wants to do, and to train for it. The young man who goes through college without an idea of what he hopes to do afterward is simply drifting aimlessly through, and is losing infinitely by it. He should find what he likes to do and prepare for it, instead of trusting to chance openings after school days are over."
"People whose life work is an accident, and who are doing things they do not like, lose much of the pleasure of living. He who weds a trained hand and a trained brain to the desires of his soul in his work is truly happy.

The students of the department of music gave their annual Christmas concert in the chapel of Fraser hall Tuesday evening. The piano students showed remarkable memory and technique, while the vocal students showed careful study of tone, placing, breathing, and pronunciation. The violin solo by Miss Helen Phipps was very much appreciated by the audience.

BASKET BALL TRIP.
The line-up for the trip is: Milton Miller (captain) and Smith, guards; Siler, center: Barlow and Winnegale, forwards; Davis and William Miller, substitutes. The team is in excellent condition, and captain Miller says they have been playing better in practice than at any time last year. They defeated the Freshman team in the final practice game Monday evening by a score of 30 to 26. A matched game has been arranged between the 'Varsity and the freshman for the evening of the 21st. Forrest Allen, who will be on the 'Varsity after mid-term is the tower of strength of the Freshman, and the strength of the '09 team is due in a great measure to his work.
The meeting of the Deutsche Verein yesterday afternoon was one of the best in its history, both as to attendance and program. The west german room was crowded with students of the German department. The following program was given:
The 'Varsity basket ball team opens the season tonight with a game with the State Normal team at Emporia. From there they go to Newton to play the Newton Athletic Club team Thursday night, and they will play the Indian team of Chilloco, Oklahoma, Friday night.

THE KANSAN.
Volume 2
Lawrence, Kansas, December 20, 1905
THE GRIDIRON HEROES.
Short History of the Men Who Made Up the 'Varsity.
The Kansan with this number pays its final tribute to the men and coach who battled for the red and blue on the football field during the fall of '05. It was a successful season, only one defeat, that at Colorado, and only twice scored upon, by Colorado and Washburn.
K
CAPTAIN POOLER, '05.
Captain Bert Pooler lives at Beloit and hails from the land of Brummage, head of the '03 eleven and Captain Hicks of last year's team. He weighs a little over 148 pounds and is 5 feet 6 inches in height. The 1903 Thanksgiving game was won through Pooler's field-goal and the Washburn contest of last year was added to the Kansas victories by a couple of his long end runs: Pooler is a senior law and is 23 years of age. He will probably go into the football coaching business next year.
C. Prentiss Donald lives at La Harpe and is 24 years of age. The big left tackle is one of the best ground gainers Kansas ever had and this quality
won for him the captaincy of the 1906 team. "Don" weighs 210 and cannot be stopped on a line buck. He first came into prominence in the Nebraska game of '03. The '06 captain is a Junior engineer and has played three years. In the thirty games that Donald has taken part in, not a second of time has been taken out for him. He is a universal favorite and has all the qualities that make not only a first class foot ball player but a gentleman as well.
K
CAPTAIN DONALD,'06.
Brunner, who was the other candidate for Captain has played three years and together with Pooler and Donald make "The Invincible Trio". He weighs 180 pounds and has played several positions on the team- He played guard last year and was shifted to tackle and fullback for the season just closed. His line plays always gain. He is 22 years old and lives at Onaga.
Reed, the Kansas City boy has played his first year at right guard position in fine style. He is the heaviest man on the team weighing 220 pounds. Reed is a Sophomore engineer and is 21 years of age.
Number 28
Milton, the aggressive little center, comes from Ft. Scott, where he played on the High school team. He only weighs 155 pounds but has not met his equal this year. He is a Sophomore and is 20 years old.
Heinzman, right guard, lives in Topeka and is a senior in the college. He is president of the Y.M.C.A. This is his first year on the team.
Rouse, another Beloit boy holds down the left end. He received his rudimentary training with the "Aggies" at Manhattan and played a good game the last two years. He is 21 years old and weighs 175 pounds.
FIELD HOCKEY
BRUNNER
White, who played right end comes from Mankato. This is his first year on the team but in that time has developed into a good man. He was shifted to fullback occasionally and always made good in that position. He weighs 165 and is 22 years old.
Strickler,right tackle,is a Lawrence man. For a good part of the year he had to contend with parental objections but he was too valuable a man to loose and played regularly in

the later games. He weighs 185 pounds and is 22 years of age. He graduates in the Engineering school this year.
Waring, right halfback comes from Abilene, where he received his football education at the high school of that place. Waring weighs 160 pounds and always helps the man with the ball. He promises to be a good man next year. He is a Sophomore engineer and is 20 years old.
Miller, the other halfback is an all around athlete. He plays on the basketball team and is a sprinter of rare ability. If "Billy" gets loose with the ball it takes a 100 yard man to down him. He is rather small and weighs ouly 145. His home is at Osage City and is 19 years of age.
Angney, a Sophomore, lives in Sumner county, and played on the County High school team before coming here. He is a valuable man on catching and running back punts. He weighs 144 and is 19 years old.
McNaughton started the season at fullback and played a very creditable game until he was taken ill with typhoid fever. He is a good line plunger and weighs 175 pounds. His home is at Tonganoxie. "Mac" is a Middle law.
Burt is another man from
Western Kansas and played end in a few games in good shape. He weighs 165 and with a little more experience will be a valuable man in the future. He is a Sophomore engineer.
Stanley Meyers, right half, lives at Fort Scott and has had more experience than most of the team, having played under Stagg at Chicago. He injured his knee about the middle of the season and was out of the

game for the rest of the year. This was his second year on the team. He weighs 165 and is a middle law.
Harry Hart, another Beloit man, played quarter until the last two games. He uses his head in calling the signals and is a sure tackler. Hart has played two years and is a senior in the College. He weighs 150.
THE FRESHMEN.
Summary of the Season's Work Have Gotten Fine Training.
When Kansas University adopted the Chicago conference football rules last spring, many predicted an unsuccessful team for the fall just passed.
However it has been proven that in the adoption of the Conference Rules we did not make a failure in the 'Varsity team and we did give the Freshmen advantages which they had never yet had. They had a schedule of 8 games. They had a coach of their own and made the remarkable record of scoring 221 points while their opponents never even crossed their goal line. Among their hardest games were Warrensburg State Normal, Missouri, Wentworth Military Academy, Holton, Iola and Ft. Scott high schools. Among the men who especially distinguished them-

GREEK LETTER SOCIETIES.
Do it now! Have Squires the Students' Photographer make your picture.
Four Sororities=-Eight Fraternities=-One-seventh of Students belong.
Greek letter societies are in vogue at Kansas University as they are at most State universities. They are organized primarily for social purposes and their members are chosen with that in mind. There are twelve of these organizations, not counting honorary fraternities, in the University. Their total membership is nearly two hundred and forty, or about one-seventh of the entire student body. The fraternities and sororities with their initiates for this year are as follows:
ALPHA TAU OMEGA.
Alpha Tau Omega was founded at Virginia Military Institute, Lexington, Virginia, September 11, 1865. While the fraternity is essentially southern, in the past few years it has spread to all parts of the United States. The local chapter, Kansas Gamma Mu, is comparatively young, being installed November 21, 1901. In the active chapter at present there are twenty-four members, among whom are Professors Van der Vries, Emerson, Hood, and McFarland of the faculty. Their chapter house is at the Peairs estate, 1633 Vermont street. This year the following men were pledged and initiated: Frank Turner, Glen S. Morris, Alfred Richter, Howard R. Farnsworth, and pledged Frank Kuns, James DeBarry, and Harry Dodderige.
PHI DELTA THETA.
The home of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity is at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, where it was founded in 1848. The local chapter here is the Kansas Alpha, and was installed in 1882.

GREEN HALL
THE LAW SCHOOL.
Housed in Handsomest Building on the Campus. 118 Students Enrolled.
The Law School has assumed a new importance in the University, and haughtily looks down upon the other schools of the University, not so fortunate as to have a building of their own.
The new building at the north side of the campus is the pride of the University, and in it the "Laws" are supreme. One hundred and eighteen are now enrolled in the Law School, of whom 32 are seniors, 26 middles, 51 juniors, and 9 specials.
Judge J. W. Green has been the head of the Law School ever since it was established in 1879, and under his careful and patient oversight the school has advanced to its present position. The instructors of the Law School are J. W. Green, W. L. Burdiick, and W. E. Higgins.
DEDICATION OF LAW BUI DING.
One of the most important events this year in the University was the dedication of the
new law building on November 3. That day marked an important era in the progress of the University, and especially of the law school.
The impressive ceremony on the steps of the new building between the massive columns, when Hon. Thomas M. Potter, on behalf of the Board of Regents, delivered the keys and named the building "Green Hall," was one to be long remembered by the spectators. The building is a model of architecture in grav pressed brick with four large fluted columns at the entrance.

ANNUAL SCRIMAGE.
One of the most important social events of the Law School is their annual "Scrimmage." This year it was given in Fraternal Aid hall, and was up to the standard. About 75 couples were present.
The engineering school gives gives a banquet for themselves, but the law school is the only school in the University that gives a social function in honor of our gridiron heroes. All who played on the 'Varsity in any game were the honored guests of the "Laws" on December 8.
The trustees of the will of the late Cecil Rhodes have notified the University of Kansas that the next qualifying examination for scholars in the United States under the Rhodes Bequest, will be held about the middle of January, 1907. Scholarships will also be open in 1908; in 1910 and 1911; in 1913 and 1914; and so on, omitting every third year. The scholarships are of the value of $1500 a year, and are tenable for three years.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 20,1905
The Christmas time is a peuliarly attractive season of the year. It is the time when the more sordid things of life are put aside and men give themselves to the contemplation of that which is noble and generous and worthy. It is almost uniformly a time when families get together and the absent ones return to the hearthstone and meet upon the old familiar ground. It is the time when the failures of the unfortunate are forgotten and the triumphs of the successful are not allowed to protrude themselves into the common Chirstmas spirit. For a very large number of us, the season is a distinctly hallowed one and the observance of Christmas Day with all its attendant joys and memories has had much to do with the persistence of the Christian belief in the world. If Rome had had some such festival in which all sordid ambitions and despotic
desires were drowned in the overwhelming sentiment of peace and love and goodwill to men, that empire might still be existence. The moral effect of such a festival is beyond calculation and it would be a sorry day indeed that should see its decay.
It is an especially happy time for the students of the University of Kansas. Almost without exception they withdraw to their homes and pass the Holidays with their families or with the families of friends and collegemates. Then University organizations of one kind or another have their meetings to arouse enthusiasm for University life. Some of the pleasantest gatherings the Chancellor comes in contact with during the year are the county club meetings in which the students and graduates of the University get together and revive University loyalty and enthusiasm. The Christmas season, therefore, is worthy of our grateful recognition and we should approach it with thankful hearts and reverent minds. We should make it indeed a festival of joy, peace and good will; a true anniversary of the coming of our Lord which has meant so much to us as individuals and as a race.
CHANCELLOR STRONG.
The Kansan board takes pleasure in presenting this week the annual Christmas number to its readers. In a few days the students will scatter all over Kansas to spend the Holidays with father and mother. Take one of these special numbers with you and the folks at home will know more about the University than you could tell them in a week.
Wishing its readers the Merriest, Merriest Christmas and a Happy New Year the Kansan with this number ends the first year of its existence and enters upon its second with faith in the present and hope in the future.
A Suggestion.
The ability to write as fast as a man can talk is an accomplishment any person can master if an honest effort is made Few people realize the value of this accomplishment, and i planning their course of study ignore the consideration of course in shorthand.
An active member of the N E. A., a college president, owe much of his importance to his ability as a stenographer. All conventions and committee meetings his services are demand as secretary, and in his reports can be found not on the routine of the meeting, by the reports in detail.
Did it ever occur to you whan an advantage you would have in your school work if you were able to take in full the cla lectures? In all research work how much time do you lose writing out your notes? The time might be saved by writi ng the notes in shorthand. The knowledge of shorthand is a inestimable value to the lawy in taking notes from his opp nent's speech, or in outline some important plea of his ow and to the reporter in taki interviews, convention report including the speech of the da and notes in general.
The difference between business college and any other school, is in the course of study presented, and the method presentation of this course. accomplish anything in a business college, you must we just the same as at any schoand to accomplish much, y musl work hard.
On considering the question do you not think that you o it to yourself to master a course in shorthand before you c your education completed?
The Lawrence Business College offers you as thorough course in shorthand as can be found in any school. The system taught is not some new perimental kind, but is the used by many of the country greatest stenographers. The holder of the world's record speed writes this system.

STUDENTS DO IT.
How "The Kansan" is Edited and Printed. Students Set the Type.
The Kansan prides itself upon being the first University newspaper published entirely by student enterprise. Since the beginning of the current year none but student work has entered into its publication, from the collector of news and advertising material to the final press work. The news field of the University is divided among the members of the Kansan board and they cover their territory at least once each week for all news of importance.

The Oread Club.
In the fall of 1902, there was organized on Mount Oread for social purposes what is known as the Oread club. The organization gives dancing parties once a month. The parties are
informal and the guest list is made as representative as possible of University social circles. The membership of the club consists of non-fraternity young men, chosen from the various schools of the University. Their names are as follows: Chester A. Smith, R.E. Gentry, R.C.Barton, M.N. McNaughton, C.L.Van Fleet, O.N.Wampler, Lawrence Brett, J.H.Parker, Virgil McCarty, C.L.Sellers, J.E.Lindsay, Harry Rhodes, Emil Brunner, S.A.Forter, Everett Copley, E.E.Varney, and Fred Cambern.
Quite a bit of merriment was caused in one of the Public Speaking classes by a very wise and pompous first year man who in his little speech said "confisticate" for confiscate.
Misses Minnie Owens, Elsie Watson and Gertrude Russ gave an entertainment in North Lawrence, Friday night for the benefit of the Pilgrim Congregational church.

Revised Version of Twenty-third Psalm.
The pony is my helper,I shall not flunk. He maketh me to have good translations and leadeth me to much glory.
He raiseth my standing and leadeth me in the paths of knowledge for credit's sake.
Yea, though I plod through my books of German, I have no fear.
For thou art with me, thy art and thy words comfort me.
Thou preparest my lessons for me in spite of my teachers.
Thou crowneth my head with fame, my morals run high.
Surely applause and recognition shall follow me all the days of my life.
And the pony shall dwell in my house forever.—Ex.

THE Y. W. C. A.
Established in 1892. Membership of 205 Largest in History.
The Young Women's Christian Association of the University of Kansas, was established in 1892. The membership is now 205. The largest in the history of the organization. The officers of the Association are: Patience Bevier, President; Ola Bingler, Vice President; Susan Schafer, Secretary; Ellen Boyle, Treasurer; Anna VanZandt, General Secretary. The Y. W. C. A. girls this fall have given out handbooks to new students, met trains during registration week, entertained at the Association house any girls arriving late at night, have helped forty girls to find rooms, twenty-six room-mates, twelve boarding places and six employment. They gave an opening reception for new girls, a joint reception with the Y.M. C.A. for all students, informal attic parties for Freshman girls, a Thanksgiving party with the Y. M. C. A., and the County Fair. They have furnished a rest-room for girls in Fraser Hall, something that has been long desired and needed by the girl students. Their Bible study classes, fifteen in number, have an enrollment of one hundred and forty.
The Y. W. C. A. holds a meeting every Wednesday at five o'clock in the chapel, Beside this are the prayer-meetings held every noon. The Y. W.

COUNTY FAIR.
The proceeds from the Y. W. County Fair have not been accurately determined, but are not less than $175.00. As expected the Beta "Hoop La" was the great money maker, taking in over $3).00. "The Plantation" was a close second while the "Edison's Dolls" cleared $8.00. It is not the financial part of the Fair that is the most gratifying but rather the jolly good time had by everyone that attended.

CHAPEL SERVICES.
A Distinctive Feature of Our Institution--Some Services of the Year.
The daily chapel services of the University constitute one of the worthiest customs which our institution recognizes, and they attract more attention from visitors than any other feature of our outward life. Few institutions of the size and character of the University of Kansas maintain a daily devotional service that can compare in impressiveness and attendance with ours.
Some additional features of the chapel exercises which make them valuable to the students are the Friday morning special addresses, and only since the beginning of this year, the Tuesday talks by members of the faculty. Among the men who have addressed the students this year are: W. R. Stubbs, Gen. Wilder S. Metcalf, Victor Murdock of the 7th district, P. P. Campbell of the 3d district, Speaker Clark of the Nebraska House of Representatives, Attorney-General C. C. Coleman, President Pihlblad of Bethany, President Schwegler of Ottawa University, Professor Reighard of Michiran University, Professor Grumman of Nebraska University, and professor McKeever of the State Agricultural College.
Shelley is getting some swell folders imported from Germany that will be ready for his customers in January.
Which Is It?
A visitor to the University said, "I am sure of one of two things. Either the K. U. girls are phenomenally homely, or the boys are phenomenally slow. Its the first place I've ever seen a girl with the challenge of mistletoe in her hair passed by with only an amused glance."

AWAKENED PUBLIC CONSCIENCE.
Attorney-General Coleman Lauds Roosevelt and Folk.
Attorney General C. C. Coleman vigorously arraigned betrayers of public trust in his address in chapel last Friday. "Officials owe it that they should be loyal to the government and to public interest," said Mr. Coleman, "but it has become the common thing for senators and representatives to earn large incomes by department practice which is calculated to obstruct the wheels of justice. Bribery and perjury have, of late, been called mere 'contentional' or 'technical' crimes. But stirred by the influence of our president, the greatest character of contemporary history, and that of Folk, La Follette, Ida Tarbell, Lawson and others, the public conscience is awakening. Here in Kansas where the prohibition law has been so disregarded that it has been a laughing stock for twenty years, the awakening has come. The work of our governor in securing its enforcement will live long after he is gone."

Graduate Magazine.
For the first time in the history of the University, the Alumni Association has permanent headquarters on the hill. The Regents have set aside Room 3 in Fraser Hall as alumni headquarters and a large room in the basement for the printing plant, where the Magazine and the Kansan are printed. A general secretary is employed by the association to edit the Graduate Magazine, manage the alumni printing plant, keep the records of the alumni association, and gather as much information as possible about alumni.
The Magazine contains advertising this year for the first time in its history. It contains more University news than formerly and the department of Alumni notes contains news from graduates of all schools of the University.
The secretary elected by the Board of Directors for the current year is L. N. Flint, '97. Mr. Flint taught in the Lawrence high school after graduation, and afterward held the position of principal of the Olathe high school. Later he bought a half interest in the Manhattan Nationalist which he sold to accept the position of secretary of the Alumni Association.

March. Missouri has always won this meet and if Kansas can, by a great effort, defeat the crack Missouri team in this meet it will mean as much to K.U. as the Thanksgiving game.
Kansas has little trouble in beating the Tigers by a large score in the annual football game and the Missourians beat Kansas with as much ease in the annual track meet. Why this is, is a problem, the psychology of which is hard to explain. It may be because our athletic board does not get behind track work as they should. If there is anything in this supposition the present athletic board should change front. If football should ever be put under a ban, track athletics is the only college sport that could come near to taking its place.

ART EXHIBIT.
Assured Feature of the Fine Art School. Three Great Collec=
tions Have Been Shown.
The fact that the receipts from the Art Exhibit this year were sufficient to pay the expense of bringing the collection here makes an annual exhibition of this character and assured thing for Kansas University. The first of these exhibitions of paintings was given two years ago when the Carnegie collection of paintings from the Carnegie Institute at Pittsburg was brought here under the auspices of the School of Fine Arts. The receipt at this time fully paid expenses and left a slight margin. This encouraged the department to continue the movement and last year sixty paintings, many of them the property of Samuel T. Shaw of New York, were secured for the art exhibit. The attendance in this case was smaller and the University lost something over eighty dollars in the undertaking. This year the famous collection of Old Testament paintings by Tissot belonging to Count Maurice de Brunoff was brought here under the efforts of Professor Griffith and the number of art lovers who availed themselves of this rare opportunity to see a collection of paintings which otherwise they would have been obliged to go abroad to see made the receipts such that expenses were paid. Next year the exhibit will offer some very famous paintings from private collections. Many of these have already been secured and among the number are some of great value.
This annual art exhibit has been recognized by the people of the State as one of the most important sources of culture which the University has ever succeeded in bringing within the reach of its young people. The large number of people from Topeka and Kansas City that attend is an evidence of

University Mandolin Club.
The University of Kansas Mandolin Club is the most ambitious musical organization in the University this year. They will give between twenty and twenty-five concerts in the next five months. The club this year is placed so that it is able to give a more varied program of a higher class and a more entertaining concert than has ever been given before by a K.U. musical club. The old style "Mandolin, guitar and banjo" organization has been done away with and now the music will be rendered by an up-to-date mandolin orchestra of ten pieces.

University Orchestra.
The Orchestra is perhaps the best musical organization we have and it has been made so py Dean C. S. Skilton. Whenever a University Orchestra Concert is given every seat is taken and the people go away with no regrets as to the price of admission paid. Usually the orchestra gives a fall and a spring concert, however the sping concert this year will give place to the opera "Die Freichutz" which the school of Fine Arts gives soon after Christmas. The class of music played by the orchestra is above tha; attempted by most State University organizations. Such selections as :Faust"by Gounod are rendered and many overtures of equal classicness.

THE ENGINEERS
353 Enrolled in School. Most Thorough Department of University.
The Engineering School has the largest enrollment of any school in the University with the exception of the College. The enrollment in the Engineering School last year was 342, with one lone young lady among the number. The enrollment so far this year is about 355.
Altho' the Engineering school is composed entirely of young men, they manage to have a good social time once in a while without the aid of the fair sex.
