THE KANSAN. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JANUARY 9,1907. VOLUME III. NUMBER 28 FOUR DEBATES WILL MEET OKLAHOMA, IOWA BAKER, AND WASHBURN. Oklahoma Preliminary on January 21. Entries Must be in This Week. At a meeting of the Debating Council yesterday the proposition to debate Iowa on the old agreement was unanimously adopted. This action will give four collegiate debates this year. Washburn has not ratified the compact yet, but will probably do so this week. The council is ready to submit the question as soon as the compact is ratified. The first trial debate will be for the Oklahoma squad, Monday evening, January 21. All entries must be in this week. Article IV of the constitution of the council which follows gives the rules of the contests: ARTICLE IV. The representatives of the University of Kansas in intercollegiate debates shall be chosen in accordance with the following plan: Sec. 1. The representatives of the University in each intercollegiate debate shall be those receiving rank I in a preliminary debate held at the University for this purpose; of those receiving rank II the judges shall indicate their preference for one who shall be the alternate, and if he declines, the Debating Council shall appoint from those receiving rank II. SEC.2. Entries for any or all of the preliminary debates shall be made at least one week before the date of the first preliminary debates, the candidates to announce their preference to subject and place, if they wish. Later entrance may be permitted for cause by the Debating Council. Sec. 3. Each Liberary or Debating Club in the University shall be authorized to select from its membership six candidates for the preliminaries, in such manner as it may elect. SEC.4. Students, not members of such societies, may be admitted to candidacy for the debates on presenting to the Debating Council satisfactory evidence of their qualifications for debating. SEC. 5. Candidates who receive second rank in one preliminary debate may be admitted to one additional preliminary; but only one. SEC.6. One week before the first preliminary debate the Debating Council shall divide the candidates into as many equal squads as there are to be inter-collegiate debates for that year, and assign one squad to each preliminary debate, in accordance so far as possible with the preference of the candidates. SEC. 7. Forty-eight hours before each preliminary debate, the debaters for that debate shall determine their sides on the question by drawing lots. SEC.8. The judges for each preliminary debate, three in number, shall be selected by the Debating Council, so far as possible from persons not directly associated with the debaters of the University. Sec. 9. The judges shall rank the debaters as I. II. III., as many in each rank as there are to be contestants in the intercollegiate debate, rating on the all-round merits of the debater. Sec. 10. The preliminary debates shall be held before the debating and literary societies in turn, according as they may offer their hospitality for this purpose. Attention Seniors! In order to get the Jayhawker out on time this year all senior pictures must be handed to the management not later than the middle of February. All photographers in town will furnish a picture free for the Annual. The half-tones will cost each senior $1.50 and will be returned to the owner at the Jayhawker's issue. The business manager will be at the check-stand from 9 A.M. until chapel every morning and will gladly answer all questions relative to pictures. This important matter must not be put off. ROY MOORE, Business Manager. --- Two men began to lay a track in the basement of the new Robinson gymnasium this afternoon. The track will be 115 feet in length with a 20 foot turn. This will give the distance men a place to train during the cold season. However there will be no heat and the basement will be fairly cool most of the time. K. U-106-102 A SUCCESSFUL TRIP. Mandolin Club Gave Delightful Christmas Concerts. The University Mandolin Club of 13 pieces returned Sunday morning from a week's trip of highly successful concerts. Starting on Wednesday morning from Lawrence the first music festival was given at Olathe where an enthusiastic crowd welcomed them. Immediately following the concert the K.U. Club entertained the boys at a party. At Garnett remembrances of last year's club still being vivid the Christian church was taxed to its seating capacity. Reports were in the evening papers that two of the boys were met at the train by the sheriff and put in custody but fortunately the sheriff was a warm friend of the two. At Garnett a party was also given in honor of the club. By courtesy of Squires Studio At Iola the Bachelor Theatre was crowded to hear the concert. Here the Allen County Club served a 175 cover banquet. Chancellor Strong delivered a toast to the graduating class of the high school. At Yates Center the last concert was given Saturday evening. Frank Butler, a former K. U. student, had entire charge of the concert. After the concert Miss Lewis, a present student of the University, gave a reception and party for the club. Carl MacDrennan, manager of the club, is especially to be commended for the financial success of the trip—this being one of the first trips where a musical club of the University has arrived home without a depleted treasury. A peculiar fact noticeable when talking to any one of the club is that he alone met the prettiest girl and had the finest time. The boys have been assured that next fall's enrollment will not be short in the feminine part. WAS HEAD OF U. LATE DR. LIPPINCOTT FORMERLY CHANCELLOR. He Served from 1883 to 1889—His Was an Important Administration. Rev. Dr. Joshua Allen Lippincott, widely known in the East and Middle West, both as a divine and an educator, died in Los Angeles, California, December 30. Dr. Lippincott served the University of Kansas as Chancellor from September, 1883, till 1889. He came to the University from Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pa. Under his administration larger appropriations were demanded and received from the State, and several new enterprises were carried out successfully. The most important of these was the building of Snow Hall, at a cost of over $50,000, which sum was appropriated for the purpose by the legislature of 1885. A new engine house was also built at a cost of $16,000. The School of Pharmacy was established in 1885 and Lucius E. Sayre, the present dean, was placed in charge. The department of Music and Art was more completely organized, and material advancement was made in all lines of collegiate and departmental work. The number of recognized preparatory high schools was greatly increased and their relations to the University were more fully and satisfactorily determined. The Normal department and one year of preparatory work at the University were discontinued. The annual appropriations for current expenses during this period increased from something over $30,000 to $75,000. The faculty at the close of the administration numbered over thirty as against nineteen at the beginning. Chancellor Lippincott resigned in 1889.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 1907 Is it design or accident which defers the opening of the University for a week after the birth of the New Year's resolutions? It must be the hand of Providence that so fixes the calendar. What might not be the crop of nervous breakdowns and brain wrecks if it came a week earlier! The campaign by students of the University for the engineering building which was carried on so generally during vacation will be productive of much good to the institution aside from the influence it may have with the present legislature. It shows that University students have a deep and active interest in the welfare of the school. That interest is bound to spread and to communicate itself to others. The Lawrence ice cream joints got the following free boost in the last number of the Baker Orange: The secretary of the state board of health has made public the results of a test made of the ice-cream sold in eight cities of the state. Of these, only that sold in Lawrence met the requirements. When you go to Lawrence, then, you can be sure of eating pure ice-cream. One of those ever recurring mishaps that helps to give ye editor the hungry, haunted look by which the genus is known, played The Kansan a sad trick in the issue of the Football number. By a very regrettable oversight in making up, the paragraph which should have accompanied Sidney Milton's picture was omitted. Milton is one of the pluckiest centers that ever passed the ball on a Missouri Valley team, and too much could not have been said of the energy he puts into the game. Only his light weight kept him out of the race for a position on the Missouri Valley team. A Snap for Sure. You can derive the benefits from this snap if you want to. It's simple. Join the K. U.

Men's Store of Lawrence. Felix&Sons Important Lecture This Month. Dr. George Herbert Palmer of Harvard University will give a series of seven lectures to University students on "Theories of Conscience" during the last week in January. Dr. Palmer has been chairman of the Philosophy department at Harvard for twenty-five years, and is one of the best loved men in that school. Until quite recently he has never published any of his work but devoted his entire time to class duties. For this reason his courses became so popular that five hundred students were enrolled in a single course. He is a particular friend of Professor Boodin, and it is due to this friendship that he is coming to Kansas. Professor Boodin in speaking of him said: "We always thought of him as a father. If any student at Harvard needed advice and assistance Dr. Palmer was always ready to help him. He was very sympathetic and disliked to give us long and hard examinations. One day we were having a two hour quiz in ethics. At the end of the first hour Mrs. Palmer invited us in to a little tea she had prepared for us while we were laboring on the quiz. Professor Palmer was delighted and of course we were too. Acts of this kind endeared him and his wife to the students." This series of lectures will be the best of the kind given this year west of Harvard and Yale. Oscar Chambers, of the junior law class died at his home near Lowell, Cherokee county, Kansas, December 22. Mr. Chambers fell ill some time in October, and was for some time at one of the hospitals in this city. He was improving, and went home early in December. His condition however grew worse, soon after he reached home. Mr. Chambers was twenty-six years old and had been a barber by trade. He worked at Lee's barber shop early in the year in order to pay his school expenses. Death Claims University Student. Students, take notice.

Walker and Dr. James Naismith will represent Kansas University. Early in the year Professor Hubach will begin a series of recitals. Two of these will be given in January, one at Siloam Springs, Arkansas, for Mr. Samuel Moore, a former student of the University who is now superintendent of schools at that place, the other at the College of Music, Sedalia, Missouri. In March Professor Hubach will give a recital at Manhattan in connection with the State Agricultural College Choral Union. C. Abraham, a native of Africa, is attending Kansas University.

The annual Christmas game between Chanute and La Harpe in which K. U. stars mix with eastern foot ball men took place as usual at Chanute during the holidays. This year Donald's team won over Chanute 5 to 0, the score being made on an attempted field goal by La Harpe which fell short but which was recovered and carried over. Each team was composed largely of K. U. players. De Saulle and Rogers, eastern stars, coached Chanute. The most remarkable thing about the game was the fact that the easterners used an underhand swing in throwing the ball on a forward pass while the western men used the overhand swing which they learned at St. Louis. In this manner, the western men worked the forward pass successfully several times while the slower movement used by Yale and Harvard this year was always uncertain and usually fell to the ground and went to the opposing team.

The local paper hands it to him this way: "For the University Waring was the star. He hit the line hard, and his interference was good to look upon. He was a mighty tower of strength on defense."

STRONG SENTIMENT FOR NEW BUILDINGS. Much Good Work Done During Holidays by Friends and Students of University. With the convening of the legislature the prospects for an engineering building look bright. During the holidays the students in conjunction with the Chancellor and Dean Marvin did great work for the cause of more room, and the sentiment among the people and lawmakers seems to warrant the belief that the appropriation will be made. Dean Marvin said today: "Yes, the prospects are good for the new building. I have been shown a large number of letters from members of the legislature and a large majority of them are decidedly favorable. The most difficult thing we have now to meet is the belief expressed by many of the legislators that we want too much money for buildings, but it must be remembered that a large part of this goes to increase the capacity of the heating and lighting plants. Unless we increase their size or build new plants the engineering building would be valueless for the heating and lighting plants are already taxed to their full capacity, and we need their size increased even to heat and light the new gymnasium building." Governor Hoch has followed the example of the state auditor and in his message sent Tuesday to the legislature he recommends that the full amount asked for by the University be granted. He also asks the legislature to place all the state educational institutions under the charge of one Board of Regents. There will be no relaxation in the efforts to secure the building, and by the number of students that are showing an interest in it, as indicated by the number visiting Dean Marvin's office, it is certain that if enthusiasm counts, K. U. will get the needed building. Are you going to flunk in that quiz next week? You are going to flunk in your social quizzes unless you come get in line and do business with the K. U. Pantatorium.

On Friday afternoon, Professor F. B. Dains of Washburn College, Topeka, gave a very interesting talk on the Early History of Chemistry. He has made a special study of the early methods of expression among chemists, and illustrated his lecture with numerous pictures thken from the oldest writings. Next Friday afternoon Dr. Dains will continue this subject, and begin with the development of the work in qualitative analysis. --- --- Oklahoma Date is Set.

U. football team after winning the Christmas game from their vaunted high school opponents at Wellington, Kansas, by the score of 6 to 0, boldly assert their title to the Missouri Valley championship, and modestly suggest that no team in the United States has a better claim on the world's championship. A Remarkable Chain of Dope Makes This Claim Interesting. The claim of reasoning leading to this exalted claim by the closest inspection is without a single flaw. This is the claim: The Sumner county K.U. team defeated the high school which earlier defeated Fairmount. Fairmount by a score of 5 to 0 defeated Washburn, which school a week previously had defeated the Manhattan boys 5 to 4. Manhattan humiliated Kansas 6 to 4, and Kansas whipped the Cornhuskers 8 to 6. Thus far the Missouri Valley championship is established. Going farther, Nebraska played Minnesota a very close game and Minnesota defeated Chicago. Chicago is superior to Michigan as shown in last year's game. Michigan defeated Vanderbilt 8 to 4, which in turn defeated Carlisle. Carlisle defeated Pennsylvania 24 to 0 and was defeated by Harvard by a 5 to 4 score. Yale defeated Harvard. There are but three flaws to the claim of a world's championship team by the K. U. Club, the Nebraska defeat by Minnesota, Carlisle by Harvard and Harvard by Yale. Each of these scores was close, 13 to 0, 5 to 4 and 6 to 0. While victories gained the scores would exceed these three defeats and no doubt the championship should remain at K. U., both the Missouri Valley and the world's championship. The eleven that playad in this game were: Hackney and Schwinn, ends; Crowell and Morrow, tackles; Nevitt and Siceloff, guards; Spear, center; Captain Angney, quarter; Hunter and Primly, halves; and Young, full-back. Substitutes: Loofbourrow, Trekell, Trent and Worden. A Good Thing. We have some propositions for you that are stunners.

The debating council at its last meeting took a step that should have been taken long ago, when it voted to petition the faculty to allow a two hour college credit in public speaking for the work on an intercollegiate debate. The members of team do full as much work as a student of any two hour course; they get full as much practical benefit. The request seems to be a very reasonable one. Why would it not be well to recognize the worth of our debates to the University by giving the members of intercollegiate teams the privilege of wearing the University emblem? Why not grant K's of an easily distinguishable style, and place debates on an equal footing with other intercollegiate contests? It would not cheapen the emblem, nor would it detract from the distinction of the athletic K's. It would bring out half a dozen candidates for debates where there is now one. There are two things in Governor Hoch's message to the State Legislature that are of especial interest to the University—the one Board of Regents for State institutions, and the recommendation for a regular maintenance tax. The latter is the one of most interest just now, and, if adopted, would go a long way toward making the University independent of possible whims of legislators. It goes hard with education when it must be shelved whenever a periodic economy campaign might make it a political necessity. An adequate tax that would grow with the wealth of the state would insure a steadier expansion of the institution. The season of preparation for the intercollegiate debates is opening, and with the four debates the University will have this year, comes the necessity for more active encouragement of debates and debaters. It requires several men and much consistent work to make so many debates a success. As matters stand, a man who devotes half his days and nights for two or three months to working up a good debate, gets no Uniiversity recognition for it. Members of the glee club and of the orchestra get college credit in musical appreciation; athletes get credit for their work in physical training,-and get in addition the University emblem. The debater who works just as hard in another way, and who represents the institution as truly as any athlete gets nothing. Isn't it worth recognition? Subscriptions Are Due.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JANUARY 16, 1907. NUMBER 30 THE BIG FIVE TENTATIVE ORGANIZATION OF MISSOURI VALLEY SCHOOLS. Permanent Organizations Will be Attempted Next Month—Slight Disagreement on Rules. At a conference of five of the big schools of the Missouri Valley in Kansas City Saturday a temporary organization was effected. The schools represented were Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Washington and Kansas Universities. Professor A. T. Walker, Dr. James Naismith and Manager W. C. Landson represented Kansas. During the meeting the subjects of the one-year residence rule and post-graduates rule, the scheduling of Freshmen foot-ball games outside of the University and the training table were thoroughly discussed. The Kansas representatives stood tooth and toenail against the one year rule and the rule making post-graduates ineligible. Nebraska sympathized with Kansas while Washington, Iowa and Missouri favored the reaffirmation of the Chicago conference on these points. The majority of the conference also opposed the scheduling of Freshman games outside the University. The training table is to be permitted providing the men on it pay half the expense and the amount paid by the athletic board not exceed $400 each year. At another meeting about one month hence this organization will be permanently effected, providing the athletic boards of the several schools adopt the recommendations of their representatives from Saturday's meeting. Just when these rules would go into effect is another question at present. If they take effect at once a Missouri Valley track meet will be probably held in Kansas City this spring between the five schools and basket-ball and base-ball games will probably be scheduled. If the new rules do not take effect until next fall our track meets and ball games will be governed by the same rules that we followed last year. Among the students and faculty very few are opposed to the organization of the Conference but a large per cent among the students especially are opposed to the elimination of our freshmen athletes and degree men from this spring's athletic contests. In track and base-ball Kansas would lose some of the best material she has had for years. --- At the mid-week meeting of the Y. M. C. A. tomorrow evening Charles Siler will speak on "Belief." WASHBURN QUESTION. Council Has Submitted the Iowa Subject. The Debating Council at its meeting Monday afternoon, voted to submit the Iowa question for the Washburn debate. It is "Resolved: That the cities of the United States should seek the solution of their traction problems in private ownership." The Council has been slow in announcing the question on account of Washburn's delay in notifying them of the ratification of the compact. The first preliminary debate will be for the Oklahoma question next Monday evening. The list of men for this preliminary is announced in another column. Kansas City Automobile Show. --- Kansas City will this season hold its first annual Automobile Show in its big Convention Hall, the week of March 4th to 10th, inclusive. The show will be held under the management of the International Show Association. The show will be modeled after the big eastern shows and Manager Woodward promises something novel in the way of decorations and lighting. The Convention Hall is an ideal place for expositions of this kind; it has floor space, arena, of 110 x 185 feet, and a seating capacity of 15,000. The business office is in the Willis Wood theater building, and the board is composed of Louis W. Shouse, chairman; D.M.Shively,secretary; Frank L.Woodward,manager and treasurer. University Men in Legislature. The following is a list of graduates and former students of the University now in the Legislature, with the counties they represented: J. A. Edwards, Greenwood; F. B. Wheeler, Crawford; S. C. Westcott, Cherokee; W. R. Stubbs, Douglas; J. W. Harden, Montgomery; J. M. Davis, Bourbon; Sheffield Ingalls, Atchison; G. P. Hayden, Nemaha; C. F. Foley, Rice; W. Y. Morgan, Reno; C. L. Davidson, Sedgwick; A. C. Mitchell, Douglas; E. P. Rochester, Scott; C. T. Neihart, Osage; C. I. Martin, Bourbon. Two Interstate Meets. The K. U. track team is invited to take part in the K. C. A. C. invitation indoor meet at Kansas City, March 3, and the M. A. C. indoor meet at St. Louis, March 17. If Missouri is scheduled March 10 or 24 at Kansas City, Coach Hagerman will have a few busy days soon. Even now he is running a bunch of distance men in the basement of the new gymnasium every afternoon. COLLEGE WORLD NEWS OF OUR SISTER INSTITUTIONS. Michigan Sore at Chicago Conference. —Washburn To Get a Gymnasium. Sentiment at the University of Michigan seems to be running strongly in favor of rebellion against the action of the Chicago Conference last Saturday. The last issue of the Daily says: "If anything like the old Michigan spirit prevails among the students, a mass meeting will in all probability be called next week to petition the University senate to withdraw from the conference." The failure of the seven-game schedule and of the elimination of the retroactive feature of the three year rule is the cause of discontent. By the latter Michigan loses Captain Garrels, Ramey and Stewart from the track team; Captain Magoffin, Graham, Hammond and Patrick in football; Wendell and Carruthers in baseball. Gymnasium for Washburn. President Plass of Washburn announced last week a gift of $35,000 by a nameless friend of that college to be used in building a gymnasium. The gift is conditional on raising $80,000 for the permanent endowment fund of the college. Nebraska's New Coach. "King" Cole, as he is known at Michigan and in Virginia, has been chosen by the athletic board to coach Nebraska next fall. Coach Cole is perhaps one of the best all round football men in the west, having won an enviable record on the Michigan team, where he played for four years. At the University of Virginia last season he succeeded in turning out one of the fastest football teams in the history of that institution. Daily Nebraskan. New History Book. The class in American Government next term will study the one volume edition of Bryce's "American Commonwealth."

Kansas students of the University of Michigan held an enthusiastic meeting last evening at the home of one of the members and organized a state club. The membership list at the start includes thirty men whose homes are in all parts of the Jayhawker state. A social committee was chosen to have charge of a banquet to be given shortly before the beginning of the second semester. Officers were elected for the new organization as follows: President, Isaac R. Rubin; vicepresident, Frank Bates; secretary, C. W. Colby; treasurer, T. M. Eaman; executive committee, Charles Dettweiler, Clyde L. King, R. F. Hunt; social committee, Philip R. Anderson, Charles W. Eaman, C. A. Steele. —Michigan Daily. Debating Notice. The following men will debate the Oklahoma question in the preliminary next Monday evening, January 21: Charles Ise, John Ise, E. Petry, J. T. Jennings, R. E. Butler, W. W. McCandless, Parker, S. Lomax, O. Souders. They will meet in Professor Higgins' office in Green Hall Friday, after chapel to draw lots for the side of the question they are to debate. --- Prof. Gray in Quill Club. Charles H. Gray, of the English department read a paper on "Historical and Literary Concord" at a meeting of the Quill Club last evening. He illustrated his lecture by photographs of places of interest. His paper was an account of a personal visit to Concord. --- Miss Adelaide Thurston, who will be at the Bowersock Opera House Thursday evening ranks as one of the best and most popular of the younger stars in the profession. Her new play, "The Girl from Out Yonder," is a delightful four act comedydrama dealing with life on the Maine coast in all its rugged simplicity. Robert Siddell, actor and stage manager with Miss Thurston is an ex-University of Wisconsin man, and is a member of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity. J. M. Davis, who was at the University from '88 to '91, visited here Monday. He is a representative in the legislature from the 22nd legislative district. His home is at Bronson, Bourbon county. A picture for the senior cut will be given free with every dozen pictures purchased at the Morris Studio. --- The usual good line of cigars and tobaccos at the Corner Grocery, 1303 Kentucky.

Money can be left at the check stand, or sent by mail to the Kansan. Now is the time of the year when the professors tell their classes how much more ground last year's class covered than this year's class. The faculty in the College has done its share in recognizing the work of debaters. The one substantial thing that ought to be given yet is the privilege of wearing a distinctive emblem of some sort. The organization of the Kansas Club at the University of Michigan is another demonstration of the Jayhawker spirit that never says die. Kansas has more praiseworthy spirit per square foot than any other spot on the globe. May it always be so. --apparent than since the adoption of the reform athletic rules last year. Nearly every institution in the valley has played under rules of its own, or at best under rules laid down by individual compact with another institution. The conference would have been a good thing last year. It is a good thing now. From it we expect a closer and a harmonious league of schools of this section, and in consequence a higher general athletic standing for all of them. The rivalry which will follow the organization will place the southwest on a higher plane than it has yet held in the athletic world. Only a little more than a week until the semi-annual day of reckoning, the ever recurring season of the epidemic of weak eyes. Ye conscientious student may now be seen chasing along at full speed to and from class; or bending over his table until unmentionable hours of the morning.

Don't fail to take advantage of this offer. If you have a friend who is a senior in a preparatory school, suppose you send him the Kansan for the balance of the year and get him interested in the University. This is a good chance to help along your school paper and do your alma mater a good turn. There are many advantages to be expected as the result of the organization of the Missouri Valley Universities. There has been a need for such organization for several years, and this need was never more The Kansan will be delivered to any address for the rest of the year for fifty cents.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS VOLUME III. LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JANUARY 19, 1907. TRACK PRACTICE HAGERMAN EXPECTS 100 MEN NEXT WEEK. Regular practice for the coming track season will begin in the Jayhawker camp Monday afternoon. During the past two weeks fifteen to twenty-five men have been at work limbering up in the gymnasium and jogging about on the campus, putting the shot, pole vaulting and high jumping. Gymnasium Will Accomodate Runners in a Week.—Coach Is Enthusiastic. On the basement floor of the new "gym" a thirty yard dirt track has been prepared for six men abreast and Coach J. P. Hagerman will put in next week developing the men on starting from a shot. Every candidate will be put through this drill from the crack sprinter down to the most clumsy shot putter. Quick response and steadiness are what the coach first desires. On the second floor of the gymnasium, around the auditorium, a 14-lap track will be marked out within another week, where the long distance men will run twice a week to accustom themselves to the more solid track. Then a week or two before the indoor meets the regular running track concaved at the corners will be ready for the indoor spikes. Whenever the weather will permit McCook field will be used. "Enthusiasm?" said Coach Hagerman this morning, "Why there will be a hundred men out in suits within the next two weeks and I wouldn't be surprised to see more. You just watch the development! There are old men as well as freshmen who will begin smashing records before the season is hardly started. The fraternities are interested, the classes are interested, and in fact interest is shown throughout the University. We will have a dozen candidates for many places and the old man had better think seriously before he boasts of a certain position as 'his.'" --- Quartette to Topeka. The Jayhawker Quartette of the University Glee Club has accepted an invitation to sing at the Kansas Day Banquet in Topeka, January 29. The Quartette has been doing some splendid work this year, and has never failed to make a hit. The members are, Messers Teel and Lapham, tenors; Powers and Hunt, basses. Small Pox at Michigan. Small pox has appeared at the University of Michigan and one student has been quarantined. All students have been ordered to be vaccinated at once. NUMBER 31 13 PERCENT GRADUATE. Dean Marvin Talks Interestingly on Technical Schools. Only about thirteen per cent. of the students enrolled in the technical schools of this country receive degrees," said Dean Marvin in his chapel talk Friday morning. Students start with engineering under a notion that it is a good thing, and find themselves unsuited. The growth of enrollments of engineering students during the last six years has been marvelous. At Michigan the increase is three hundred and thirty-nine per cent; at University of Illinois two hundred and fifty-seven per cent; at Purdue one hundred and thirty-six; at Kansas one hundred and fiftythree per cent. The trend of American youth toward applied science is a helpful movement. Colleges of applied sciences are but beginning their career of usefulness as places for higher education and scientific investigation. The western schools have felt the increase of scientific students without the aid of helpful legislation; and are now suffering from the lack of it. Kansas Reunion in New York. Notice has been received at the University of the annual meeting of the "New York Union of the University of Kansas" to be held in New York City on January 28. Col. J. J. McCook, by whom McCook athletic field was given to the University, will be the principal speaker. A memorial to the board of Regents of the University will be presented requesting them to select a woman as a member of the board. This is quite a social event among K. U. Alumni on the Atlantic coast. Alumni coming from, Philadelphia, Boston and other cities to attend the meeting. Cap and Gown Committee: Chairman, Mark Brawley, Neva Funk, Rillie Bernhard, Ed.

Arrangements have been definitely made for the concert to be given here on February 7 in F. A. A. Hall by the University of Missouri Glee Club. All who were here last year will remember the delightful concert given by their club in Lawrence last spring. Our own Masque Club has but recently filled an engagement at Missouri University and our Mandolin Club goes there in the spring, These gatherings are of utmost importance in the encouragement of a friendly rivalry and good feeling between schools. The Club is picked not only for musical ability but also with the idea of keeping the standard of the personnel as high as possible. The Club this year is composed of twenty men, several of whom were with the Club on its appearance here last year. Mr. Grover Orr and Mr.R.E.Ellis will perhaps be best remembered. Both had solos which were repeatedly encored. Both have solos on the program of this year. The Club has been practising daily for four months in the anticipation of the trip they are about to take and the excellency of their Club and impetus it will give the inter-University spirit to show them a good time demand that the University turn out in a body to welcome them here. Dr. Dains' Lectures. Yesterday afternoon Prof. F. B.Dains, of Washburn College delivered the second of his series of lectures before the Chemical Club. These lectures are arousing much interest and the attendance has been very large. In 1903-4 Professor Dains was assistant in chemistry in the University, while Professor Franklin was on leave of absence. Professor Dains has done some very important research work along the line of organic chemistry. At one time he held a scholarship in Chicago University, and while there became acquainted with Professor Bushong, who is this year Director of the Chemical Club. This acquaintance, together with the attention Professor Dains' work has attracted, led to his delivering this series of lectures before the Chemical Club of the University. --- The Entre Nous dancing club is giving a party for a few guests in I. O. O. F. Hall this evening. PHILOSOPHY LECTURES. Important Course for University Public Next Week. Dr. George Herbert Palmer of Harvard will begin his series of lectures on "Theories of Conscience" next Wednesday, January 23, at 4:30 P.M. The course continues Thursday and Friday, and Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of the following week. This same course was given one year ago at Yale. It was received so favorably that the authorities of that school prevailed on the professor to give one lecture a week there during this year. Monday evening, January 28, he will give his famous lecture on "The Odyssey," which he has translated into rhythmic prose. In addition to these lectures, he will speak in chapel next Friday and at Vespers the following Sunday. Dr. Palmer is beyond doubt one of the greatest teachers of philosophy in the United States. His coming to the University of Kansas will be an important event of the year in the educational circles of the West. As a representative of both Harvard and Yale, he will arouse much interest in places outside of K.U. Phi Psi Annual Party. The Phi Psis gave their annual spring party in F. A. A. Hall last night. "Shanty" furnished the music behind abeautiful bank of palms and ferns, potted in decorations of pink and lavender. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Ramsey led the grand march, which started at nine o'clock with about one hundred and thirty couples in line. The receiving line was: Louis H. Moore, Anna Lanter, Adolph Spangler, Claudia Pendleton, Samuel Ainsworth, Bertha Kilworth, Bernard Sheridan, Josephine Gay. Harry Singleton and Grace Irwin, Paul Atkinson and Josephine McCleverty gave out the programs, bearing the University seal on the cover. The guests from Kansas City were: Mrs. S. B. Davis, Ruth Davis, Myrtle Kresky, Margaret Elston, Lee Campbell, Josephine Gay, Harry C. Davison, Jay H. Ross, Leo Conwell, Ralph Mann, Wm. Norris, Geo. Rider, Fred Zurn, and Marvin Creager; Mr. and Mrs. John Sheridan, and Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Crowell Jr., Paola; B. A. Beach, Council Grove; Clare Kinne, Moran; Neva Lehman, Newton; Maude Grimes, Josephine Keiser and June Uhrick, Topeka. Sunday Y. M.Meeting. Dr. C.

Subscriptions Are Due All subscriptions to the Kansan are due, and should be paid before the first of March. Money can be left at the check stand, or sent by mail to the Kansan. The course of lectures which begins next week by Professor Palmer, will be more than worth the while of University students. There will be many of such a character this year, and students should pay more attention to them. If the University furnishes them free, it is certainly cheap enough, and the continuation of such liberality depends much on the interest. The finance committee of the University Y. M. C. A. is just opening the campaign for funds to pay the expenses of the year. The budget calls for $1200 this year, $1000 of which must be raised by subscription. The association is doing a worthy work and is doing it especially well this year. Not only is the religious work far more extensive than ever before, but the general work of the association, the employment bureau, and the social work, call for the hearty commendation of every man in the University. By the generosity of the association, the track team has a competent coach this year. Such effort for the advancement of the University in all these respects is worthy of admiration, and of what counts more, financial support. The association needs a home, but first of all it must pay current expenses. Support the Christian association liberally and do it cheerfully. Nebraska for Big Five. An alliance with the leading institutions of our section would benefit Nebraska in the assurance it would give us of a full and satisfactory schedule of contests in every branch of our athletic endeavor every year. It would benefit Nebraska by making her "a big toad in a small puddle" rather than a "tadpole on the outskirts of a lake." It would benefit Nebraska by establishing relations of other than a chance athletic nature with the most influential institutions of higher institutions in the middle west, and such relations as we have now only in some degree with Kansas. In our humble estimation Nebraska should join the "Big Five" at the earliest possible moment. Furthermore she should do everything in her power to sway Iowa from her doubtful attitude toward the new conference. The first steps of an excellent movement have been taken and they should be followed up at once.-Daily Nebraskan. The Kansan will be delivered to any address for the rest of the year for fifty cents.

Professor H. P. Cady and Professor D. P. McFarland have continued their research work since their discovery of helium in natural gas and have recently discovered also the related elements neon and argon in the gas. The argon was found in the Dexter gas and the neon in the local pipeline gas. The element neon is a little more scarce in the aggregate than the element helium but is present in a little larger quantity in the air. Neon is present in the air to the extent of one part of neon to 80,000 to 90,000 parts of air. Helium is found to the extent of one part of helium to 250,000 parts of air. Argon is a little more plentiful being present to the extent of one part of argon in 100 parts of air. Professors Cady and McFarland are still continuing their analysis of the gas to determine whether or not other members of this group are present. This discovery of neon and argon in natural gas is of considerable interest since these elements are found in larger quantities than in the air, which has been heretofore the only source from when they could be obtained. Sufficient quantity of these elements for experimental purposes can thus be obtained much more readily than they could formerly when the air was the only source from which they could be obtained. For a Bowling Affley. A letter of inquiry came to the Eldridge House yesterday, asking about the terms that could be made for the use of Fraser Hall as subway alley. "I have several halts on annual" writes the inquirer, "but have been informed that Fraser Hall would be just the thing. Write as to terms, etc." Inquiry developed the fact that the man really wanted to know about Fraser Hall on Massachusetts street. Hospital Association Notice. There will be an meeting of the University Hospital Association on Friday evening of this week at the home of Professor Bailey, 1329 Ohio Street. Changes in the constitution and other matters leading to a permanent organization for next year will be discussed. All member are urged too attend possible. Owing to a delay in trains at Albany, N. W., Dr. Palmer failed to get to Lawrence today. The first of his series of lectures will begin in the University campus tomorrow evening, instead of this evening. Dr. Painter Lecture Tomorrow. BARDS AT THE U. PROFESSOR CARNUTH AND H; H; KEMP IN FEB. AMERICAN. Keung, His a Poet. Accepted by. Century—Supports Himself at. University by Writing. The University of Kansas is surely well represented in the February number of the American magazine, which is partly owned by William Allen White, a former student of the University and its present one of the regents. William Hi Corruth has an excellent poem in this issue entitled, "It Is Glory Enough," and Harry Hi Kemp, the trump poet of U, has a full page poem entitled, "The Song of the Wireless Telegram." Mr. Kemp has a poem accepted by the "Century" and one by "Everybody's" which will appear within the near future. A poem entitled "Oklahoma" is now in the hands of the New York Independent to be run when the new state adopts its constitution. Kemp is also writing for the Tupkea Capital and the Kansas City Star and by his pen is supporting himself at the University. He has just received commission from one of the Kansas City papers to come to that city and in the disgrace of a tramp to make a visit to all the charitable institutions in the city and among the slums to gather material for a series of feature stories. Neophones and Phone Systems The Sigma Xi society has arranged for a series of public scientific lectures during the winter and spring. The first or them will be a lecture on "Telephones and Telephone Systems," by Mr. C. S. Winston of Chicago on Monday evening, February 5 at 8 o'clock in University hall. The lecture will be popular in character and will be illustrated by landmine sides and other apparatus. Mr. Winston is one of the best known telephone engineers in the country and his lecture will be instructive and entertaining. The general public is invited. Kensan Elects. At the last regular meeting of the NCSAN board two freshmen, members were elected They are; Judith Connelly and Wesley Stout both freshmen in the College town Kansas City. They were elected solely on the merit of the work they have done this year in newspaper writing There will be another election about the end of the year. --- S. B.

The basketball team is rounding into season on the first trip which will begin February 8, with Ottawa University at Ottawa. Manager Lansion is in Topeka today arranging for a game with Wasabarn College. Manhattan Ft. Riley and Nebraska will be played on this trip. One thing is almost certain there will be no game in the KUygmosium as we visiting team will risk their lives among the palms and there is no room for spectators. The team this year is not so strong as it was. last year but Captain Miller is doing all he can to develop a strong team. The men work well but the forwards are not up to the standard in team work during a game. OKLAHOMA TEAM CHOSEN. Butler and Lomax Will Debate the Sioux. The cryout for the Oklahoma debate was held in the lecture room of the Law building Monday evening. The question debated was Resolved, "That the present policy of the United States in eximiting the Chinese should be maintained." The first two pincers were awarded to R. E. Butler and S. Lomax, with W. W. MacDaniels as first alderman. The other speakers in the contest were Charley Ise, John Ise, Gilhhs and Pezy. A friend of the University presented a Webster Office Dictionary to the one winning first place. In the layout for this debate Oklahoma has but two men entered. Change Assessment Percentages At the meeting of the Association of Student Enterprises Monday afternoon the managers of the musical clubs were asked to prepare financial statements or the receipts and expenditures of their organisations. If their portion of the student's assessment is found too small, steps will be taken to increase the amount for that purpose. It seems probable that the assessment may be raised for next year for various reasons. It is a little too low this year and another year the hospital association fee will probably be included. As soon as the various managers report the conditions in their clubs all these matters will be taken up in detail and the organisation perfected for another year. --- Professor Prasser will go to Manitoulin Saturday to see as a judge in the craterological contest to be head at the State Agricultural College.

There will be another election about the end of the year. --- BASKETBALL MEN WORKING Will Play Ottawa Feb. 8.—Trip to Nebraska Later. One thing is almost certain, there will be no game in the K. U.gymasium as no visiting team will risk their lives among the pillars and there is no room for spectators. The basketball team is rounding into form for the first trip which will begin Frebruary 8, with Ottawa University at Ottawa. Manager Lansdon is in Topeka today arranging for a game with Washburn College. Manhattan, Ft. Riley and Nebraska will be played on this trip. The team this year is not so strong as it was last year, but Captain Miller is doing all he can to develop a strong team. The men work well but the forwards are not up to the standard in team work during a game. OKLAHOMA TEAM CHOSEN. Butler and Lomax Will Debate the Sooners. The tryout for the Oklahoma debate was held in the lecture room of the Law building Monday evening. The question debated was: Resolved: "That the present policy of the United States in excluding the Chinese should be maintained." The first two places were awarded to R. E. Butler and S. Lomax, with W. W. McCandles as first alternate. The other speakers in the contest were Charley Ise, John Ise, Gibbs, and Petry. A friend of the University presented a Webster Office Dictionary to the one winning first place. In the tryout for this debate Oklahoma has but two men entered. Change Assessment Percentages. At the meeting of the Association of Student Enterprises Monday afternoon the managers of the musical clubs were asked to prepare financial statements of the receipts and expenditures of their organizations. If their portion of the student's assessment is found too small, steps will be taken to increase the amount for that purpose. It seems probable that the assessment may be raised for next year for various reasons. It is a little too low this year, and another year the hospital association fee will probably be included. As soon as the various managers report the conditions in their clubs, all these matters will be taken up in detail, and the organization perfected for another year. Professor Frazier will go to Manhattan Saturday to act as a judge in the oratorical contest to be held at the State Agricultural College. THE KANSAN The official paper of the University of Kansas.

Money can be left at the check stand, or sent by mail to the Kansan. A word of explanation is due the athletic management as to the basket ball situation before it is condemned for the lack of home games this year. With 1200 tickets outstanding, and with no hall either in the University or in town, that could accommodate a fourth of that number and leave room for a team, the problem is a hard one. Under such circumstances it is almost out of the question to schedule games for the home court until the new gym is available. The Kansas Lawyer in its last issue handed the glee club a lemon-like bouquet that naturally causes one to wonder if some one on the staff didn't fail of making the club. If the club is not all what it could be, such back-handed appreciation would do little to improve it. The fact is that the club has improved and is better than last year's organization. A little effort spent in boosting will do more good than much more breath devoted to knocking. Every man in the University who can run, jump, juggle weights or even do a decent job at holding the tape owes it to himself and to the school to get out for the track work at once. We have a good coach who is voluntarily working at a great sacrifice to himself and to the association which he is running. He needs men-needs you, the more the merrier. With three or four indoor meets in the next two months, the team must have men and plenty of them. Numbers make keen competition. If you are good, come out to hold your place—its not a cinch; if you don't know about your ability, come out anyhow, and make some of the old heads get on their toes to stay in the race. I am heartily in sympathy with the Kansan's agitation for some recognition of our debat- ers comparable with the recognition of athletic merit. What is needed is not 'knocking,' but a sufficient motive. Care should be taken, in the interest of both athletics and debating, to make the honor emblems distinct enough so as to avoid confusion of the two kinds of merit. The confusion would work injury to athletics without helping debating. While chairman of the faculty committee on debating at Iowa College, I succeeded in getting two things started which have greatly changed the dignity of literary work and the enthusiasm on it in that institution. One of the innovations was an honor emblem, a pin with the honor letter and the gavel, for those who had distinguished themselves in intercollegiate debating. The other was a faculty trophy to be competed for by the literary societies under certain conditions not necessary to state, as each institution has its own peculiar life. I would suggest the awarding of an honor K with the gavel as as the emblem of distinguished work in intercollegiate debating. University Day, which I understand is a permanent institution, would be a fitting occasion for the awarding of the emblems. But all these things should be subjected to thorough discussion first of all. JOHN E. BOODIN. "Del" Valentine Friday.

The last few months have experienced a sudden rush of graduates and former students of the University to positions of high honor and prominence in the political world. Only last Thursday was William E. Borah elected to represent Idaho in the United States Senate. It is said of Senator Borah that as a young man he was very brilliant, a fine scholar, and popular with his associates, but he was of a moody, gloomy disposition and seemed to think the whole world was against him. If it was, he seems to have beaten the world out. He was a fine athlete, and was always a star on both the football and baseball teams. Senator Borah is a member of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity. Not only Idaho but Oklahoma as well has honored the University of Kansas, when it appointed Hon. James Edward Dyche, now of Lawton, to the position of territorial auditor and superintendent of schools of Oklahoma. Dyche received his degree of Bachelor of Arts from the University in 1892. Three years after graduation he was elected president of the State Teachers' Association. The last state election in Kansas sent fifteen K. U. men to the legislature. Their names with the counties they represent are as follows: J. A. Edwards, Greenwood; F. B. Wheeler, Crawford; S. C. Westcott, Cherokee; William Rosco Stubbs and A. C. Mitchell, Douglas; J. W. Holdren, Montgomery; J. M. Davis, Bourbon; Sheffield Ingalls, Atchison; Geo. P. Hayden, Nemaha; C. F. Foley, Rice; W. Y. Morgan, Reno; C. L. Davidson, Sedgwick; E. P. Rochester, Scott; C. T. Neihart, Osage; and C. I. Martin, Bourbon. All of these men have been very active in introducing bills, many of which have caused considerable comment. J.M.Davis is the man who made the grand stand play last week of returning a pass to the Railroad. He was always known while in the University to stand out against graft. Hayden of Nemaha, a former K. U. man and a brother to Geo. P. Hayden, a member of the State Legislature, is a prominent candidate for a seat in Congress made open by the recent election of Curtis to the United States Senate. C. I. Martin, the state senator from Bourbon county, member of the ways and means committee, is now a student in the Law School of the University. Loomas Studio—Photographs. TROD FRADE SPALDING MARK A.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JANUARY 26, 1907. BIG FIVE NO MORE NEBRASKA AND IOWA BOTH PASSED IT UP. At a meeting of the Nebraska athletic board a few days ago a motion to adopt the rules drawn up by the "Big Five" representatives at Kansas City a few weeks past, was tabled. Nebraska's action following that of Iowa virtually means the end of the Missouri Valley Conference. Will Kansas or Missouri Give In?—Possibly Cornhuskers in Convention Hall. Kansas has not yet taken any official action but will very likely follow the action of Iowa and Nebraska and lay the motion on the table. The next question is: What will Kansas and Missouri do about their annual athletic contests? Within six weeks the annual indoor track meet should be held at Kansas City. At present no contract exists between these two schools the five year agreement having expired the first of this year. Missouri is fighting for the one year rule while Kansas has never yet regarded this feature of the Big Nine rules. In case an agreement cannot be reached the indoor meet will be between Kansas and Nebraska. Hobbies of Professors. One generally thinks of instructors in connection with school work of some sort, but the most of them have some interesting diversion entirely removed from the classic atmosphere of the lecture room. Professor S. J. Hunter, of the Entomology department, has a liking for bee culture. When he wants to rest his mind from the cares of the day, he puts on his "bee" hat and goes out to his apiary where he works contentedly for hours. Once he became so interested in his pets that he forgot all about his supper. His wife, becoming worried over his prolonged absence, finally found him contentedly munching away on a cake of honey, as he watched through the glass-covered hive a swarm of bees exploring their new home. Last spring part of his colony immigrated from their home to the sub-cellar of the library, where they went to work storing honey in the cracks of the wall, and at present the bees are securely housed for the winter in the northeast corner of the library basement, where they are calmly eating the honey stored up during the summer. Dean Templin delights in farming. As a relaxation from the problems of philosophy, he goes out in his back yard and counts his chickens. He is considered an authority on cattle raising. Speaking on this subject he said: "I know a cow that sold for $3500. Now I don't consider any cow worth that much, especially a black one without any horns. But she was worth that to the man who bought her, for he sold her calf for $5000." "However," he continued sadly, "prices are very fluctuating. I paid $35 for one of my cows and had to give her calf away." Professor Templin is a great walker, and when in training held the championship of Douglass county. In connection with certain members of the County Club he made the map of Lawrence and vicinity which is now hanging near the entrance of Fraser Hall. CITY TO CO-OPERATE. NUMBER 33 Joint Committee of University and Lawrence Men for Y. M. C. A. The University Y. M. C. A. has taken a step that is sure to be productive of much good to the Association by providing for a joint committee from the Advisory board of the Association and from the business men of Lawrence. The committee is to have supervision over the financial policy of the Association and will direct its labors to the end of securing a permanent home for it. This is the work which Secretary Hagerman has most at heart, and to which he is devoting much of his time and effort. The members of the new committee from the regular advisory board are: Prof. E. M. Hopkins, chairman; Prof. L. E. Sayre, and George Ahlborn, president of the Association. Only two of the three members representing the business men of the city have been chosen as yet. They are: Mr. March, and Mr. Innes, both well known to all University people, and staunch supporters of everything that concerns the good of the University. The third member will be selected within a few days. The Theta Party. An especially pleasant party was given by the Kappa Alpha Theta at Fraternal Aid Hall last night. The grand march started promptly at nine o'clock and was led by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Ramsey. Those who stood in the reception line were Alice Rankin, Flo Shanklin, and Alverta Bingler, who are the seniors in the sorority, and Mrs. Gray. The programmes, in plain white with embossed monogram of the sorority, were given out by Lola Smart and Georgia Smart accompanied by Wm. Clark and Herbert Sloan. A delightful two course luncheon was served in the dinner rooms at midnight. The music was furnished by Harry Kelley's orchestra of Kansas City. The guests from out of town were: Margaret Philbrook, Gene Mead, Ruby Barnett, Marion Brook, Lou Potterf, Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Ward, Mr. Clements, Ray Clifford, and Fred Cowles, of Kansas City; Dorothy Gleed, Anna Harrison, Winifred Everingham, and Harry Woolf of Topeka; Bess Hafer, Fort Scott; Vera Hull, Wichita; Louise Barker, Girard; Helen Havens, and Euphenia Smart, Ottawa; Billie Clark, St. Joe; Walter Ward, Bovina, Texas. A banquet commemorating the twenty-sixth anniversary of the installation of the Kappa chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta, at the University of Kansas, will be held at the home of Professor and Mrs. Frank H. Holder this evening. About sixty-five Thetas, including the active chapter and the town and visiting alumni will be entertained. The chapter here was installed on January 27, 1881. It was the fourth fraternity at the University, being preceded only by Beta Theta Pi in 1873, Pi Beta Phi in 1873, Phi Kappa Psi in 1876. TWELVE GAMES BASKET BALL SCHEDULE IS ABOUT COMPLETED. Team Will Make Two Trips This Year.—No Baker Game as Yet. Manager W. C. Lansdon has now almost completed the Basket ball schedule and has arranged twelve games for two trips: One to Lincoln and one to St. Louis. If K.C.A.C. defeats Baker, K.U. will have a try for the world's championship on March 6 when K.C.A.C. will be played at Kansas City. Baker University has not been scheduled as yet even though the Methodists have been willing to play. It is impossible to give a return game to any team and for this reason the Methodists may not be scheduled. It is hoped that the matter will be compromised by a game in Kansas City. The schedule as it now stands is: Feb. 8. Ottawa University. Feb. 8. Ottawa University. Feb. 9. Nebraska University Feb. 11. K. C. A. C. Feb. 12. Ft. Riley. Feb. 20. Missouri. Feb. 21. Missouri.

"It is for the plain people of America that we are striving to make newspapers," said Hon. D. A. Valentine in an address to the classes of Journalism at the University this morning. His speech was on "Careful English in Newspaper Writing," and he told the Journalists many things they had not heard before. "Simplicity," he said, "is the essence of careful English in nine cases out of ten. Writing is stronger when simpler. Originality in the manner of telling everyday incidents of interest is almost as great a talent as thinking an original idea." Mr. Valentine was a member of the board of regents when the library was dedicated and made the speech receiving it for the University. Kansas Has Plenty of Track Work. SIX TRACK MEETS. Manager W. C. Lansdon said this morning: "Kansas will have three indoor meets in March and three outdoor meets in May." Kansas will enter the Kansas State Meet and boost it with the real Kansas spirit. The indoor meets will probably be: March 2, invitation K. C. A. C. at Kansas City; March 9, dual meet in Convention Hall; and March 16, M. A. C. invitation at St. Louis. Nebraska will Kansas, May 25 on McCook Field. Missouri will probably come May 18. Second term text-books at the University Book Store. COLLEGE TEMPTATIONS. There Are Good Ones As Well As Bad Ones, Says Professor Palmer. "Temptations of College Students," was the subject of the address delivered Friday in chapel by Dr. Geo. Palmer, professor of ethics at Harvard, and for twenty-five years chairman of the Philosophical Union at Cambridge. Prof. Palmer said that the moral habits of college students were so lax that one, unacquainted with conditions, would think that the worst element of the community had been turned loose at school. "I am able to detect three great divisions of temptations that beset university students," he said, "first we are subject to the temptations of youth; second to the temptations of our conditions, and third, to the temptations that all scholars are subject to." The worst temptations of youth, he said, were those to drink, to gamble, and sexual excesses. He treated them in an ethical way, considered the motives that produced them and counseled students to abstain from them. The temptations of our conditions were the consequences of our absence from any home ties and restraints that are created by association with close friends. At school, he said, we must confess that we are an unsettled part of society, the floating population. The student absent from home and from those concerned with his actions considers himself free from responsibility and consequently indulges in many practices that otherwise he would not. The temptation common to all scholars is, he said, to forget his fellow man. Absorbed in theories, he forgets the practical good things of life. "But bad temptations form a very small part of the temptations of life," he concluded. "There is more tempting us to good than bad and the college student has more uplifting temptations than has any other class in society." IS SOLIDLY ORGANIZED. Hospital Association Has 150 Members. The University Hospital Association met last night at the home of Professor Bailey and adopted a new constitution for the organization. The association is now upon a firm basis and there is every indication that it will succeed and be a most valuable addition to University organizations. The association contains at present one hundred and fifty members and has already taken care of a number of students who have taken ill at school. Next year the fifty cents fee required for membership will probably be collected by the registrar at the opening of the year as is the two dollar voluntary fee at present. There is even some sentiment in favor of asking the state legislature to pass a law making it compulsory. This plan is in vogue at Missouri and has proved very satisfactory. The active chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma and their friends will be entertained tonight by Prof. and Mrs. W. E. Higgins at their new home. DON'T FORGET MARCH 1st.

The kind of school spirit that one can admire is not the effusive brand that consumes itself in an outburst of rowdyism the first time a half-dozen units of the college get out alone. The spirit that counts spreads itself all through the college year, and expends itself on all University or class affairs. It is the spirit that boosts instead of balking; that supports instead of knocking. It's the spirit to cultivate, and the spirit that accomplishes things. The force of habit in every day life was never better shown than by the persistence with which the College is still dubbed the "Arts School"—notably by members of the faculty. It is now several years since that department has been known officially as the College. Every time an instructor picks up an enrollment card "College" stares him in the face. But in spite of this, and in spite of the added dignity of the term, we go on saying "Arts School." Truly, this is conservatism. The formal declaration of Nebraska's athletic board that membership in the "Big Five" would be no advantage to her, served the "death sentence" to Dr. Hetherington's dream of a Missouri Valley Conference. For Kansas to have entered such a conference barring her freshmen athletes, who entered the University last fall expecting to make Ks this spring it would have been unfair to say the least. Nebraska's action met with approval by the students and a large number of the faculty. That a Missouri Valley Conference would be an advanced step no one will deny but not where the rules are dictated by one of the most radical of reformers. Everybody knows in a way that there is a North College, and that there the fine arts are housed. Most people probably have a mental picture of cosy "studios" with artistic tapestries and a curio junk shop in every corner. The cold facts are that it is the bleakest, the most cheerless spot on the hill, both as to exterior and interior, the south basement of Fraser Hall and the fifth floor draughting room not excepted. It is the only building on the hill cut off from the lighting and heating plant; there is no janitor from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., and the girls have to keep the antiquated iron stoves going when they are not out of commission entirely. One day this week they were without fire all day—and to make matters worse there is not a hydrant in the building. The plaster is falling—the doors hang awry. Truly, it's an ideal environment for a study of the beautiful in art and music. Our next move should be for the fine arts. About Debating. The approaching Inter-Collegiate debates again present two questions of primate importance,—Shall the teams strive to win the debate or to win the decision? Which shall be paramount? Shall the teams put forth all their efforts to get themselves in the best of shape, putting up the best defense possible, arrange their debate in such an unanswerable manner that there seems no possible means of defeat, and risk the decision being given against them because of some manipulation or scheming of the opposite team and thus have the disgrace of defeat rest upon their school; or shall the team place the victory of their college above individual victory and let the success of trickery, scheming and manipulation for the college over-balance the victory of honest effort?

I take it that a spirit of fairness ought and does pervade, more or less, any and all contests between educational institutions. Once undertaking to defend the honor of the school, the rights and the interests of that school demand a careful consideration of the above questions and all others having a legitimate, honest hearing upon the final decision. After all has benn said in eulogy of honest individual effort in a contest, the bald fact remains that a man representing the interests of a school is no longer representing individualities but combined interests; and once undertaking to handle and defend these, personal ideas and plans must be subverted and made to fit themselves to work for the welfare of those interests; and acts, not permissible in an individual, as such, may be demanded of him as a representative. In short the demands of the school require a different application of the principles of action for the individual working for the school interest than in working for his own. The school does not require a man to perjure himself or his conscience, but it does require him to apply these individualities in accordance with the needs and benefits of the whole; and he does not do his whole duty if he does not put forth every effort, use every devise and scheme not inconsistent with his individual standard, when compared and applied to the requirements of the school, to win the decision. And he cannot do this without the same individual effort and intention to win the debate. WILBERN W. PARKER,LL.B., K.I.L.. 706. A Good Thing. We have some propositions for you that are stunners.

Some of the heavy men were not present, and two of the substitutes were not eligible, according to rules, as they are under 200 pounds in weight. Dodge, substitute for the heavyweights, did much of their scoring, and the light men claim they could win against a full line up of 200 pound men. The line-up for the heavy team was: Verni Smith, center; Root and Dodge, forwards; Reed and Flowers, guards. The light men were: Reg Bailey, center; Thompson and Weidlein, forwards; Lorig and Duncan, guards. The second game of the series will be played next Friday afternoon at 4:30 in the gymnasium. --a product. Phone 176. 1337-1339 Mass. St. For the Ladies, Too.

Professor Palmer's presence has led to a series of brilliant social events which is making the life of the distinguished guest both pleasant and strenuous. The opening function was a reception at Prof. Hodder's home for about one hundred and twenty-five University people. The occasion was a happy social event and made all the more so by an inimitable informal talk by Professor Palmer on Harvard. Friday evening a dinner was given in honor of Professor Palmer at the home of Dean Templin, including the philosophical faculty and several of the older members of the faculty. This morning, Miss Hyde gave a luncheon in Professor Palmer's honor, including several of her lady friends in the faculty. This evening, Professor Palmer is the guest of the Fortnightly Club at the home of Chancellor Strong and would also be at the Old and New Club if he could be in two places at once. The infinite good nature of Professor Palmer in responding to the University in all of these ways, and his genial personal qualities are endearing him to all University people. THE KANSAN. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS VOLUME III LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JANUARY 30,1907. LAST LECTURE DR. PALMER ENDS THE SERIES TOMORROW AFTERNOON. The Lectures Have Drawn Large Audiences-Reception for Dr. Palmer Today. Dr. Geo. Palmer, of Harvard, will conclude his series of lectures on "Theories of Conscience" at the University tomorrow afternoon. During his stay here Dr. Palmer has been greeted each day by a large crowd that almost filled the chapel. His lectures have been both interesting and instructive and Professor Boodin, who was instrumental in bringing him here, feels highly elated over the interest that has been shown in the lectures. After the lecture this evening a reception was given to students of the philosophy department in the Greek room, and a large number of students had the pleasure of personally meeting one of Harvard's foremost scholars. Dr. Palmer's lecture yesterday dealt with the effect that heredity and environment have to do with shaping conscience. He showed plainly that neither of these forces have all to do with shaping the conscience of man. His lecture this afternoon dealt with the evolutionary aspect of conscience through natural selection. Dr. Palmer will visit with his wife's relatives in the northern states before returning to his duties at Harvard. Professor Palmer besides being a scholar is an orator and holds the closest attention throughout. He makes his subject very clear and clothes his thoughts in beautiful language. It is said he is one of the most popular professors at Harvard, having in some classes 500 students, many students of English attending for the purpose of studying Professor Palmer's English. Mr. Palmer's wife, now deceased, was for some years president of Wellesley college and one of the best known women educators in America. Debating Notice. The following men who will enter the preliminary for the Baker debate are requested to meet in Professor Higgins' office, on the second floor of Green Hall at 10 o'clock Friday morning: Commons, Hill, Childress, Vigg, Johnson, Waters, Alexander, (X. Y. Z.), Alexander, (Cooley), Dietrich and Wall. The contestants will draw lots for sides of the question for the preliminary debates which will be held Monday evening Feb. 4. NUMBER 34 THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE Musical Event in Latter Part of February. Beginning with this week regular staging rehearsals will be held for the "Pirates of Penzance," which the Fine Arts department will present in Bowersock Opera House some time next month. The choruses and the soloists have been working with Mrs. Lyons since early in November, and the music is now perfectly familiar. Professor E. G. Frazier, who will have charge of the staging and dramatic effects, met with the cast in the opera house for the first time last night and will work with them regularly from now until the time set for the production. Dean Skilton will begin working the full orchestra with the chorus next week, and rehearsals will be pushed as rapidly as possible. All the work will be by home talent, and all the direction will be done by members of the University faculty. The date has not been definitely set, but it will be about Feb. 22 or possibly a few days later. NOT DEAD FOR SURE. Big Five Has Good Chances Another Year. The latest move within the Big Nine looking toward the organization of an inner league of four or five universities is regarded here as likely to keep the cause of the Big Five which has been tabled for the present. Such a move would leave Iowa out, and would definitely put an end to the hopes Nebraska has had of getting into the Big Nine. Chancellor Strong said this morning that he did not regard the cause of the Big Five as lost by any means, Nebraska merely deferred action until June. By that time it is hoped that Iowa will see the advantages, and that the league can be put through in another year as it was planned. The Mining Engineers defeated the senior Civils in a hard fought basketball game in the gymnasium Saturday afternoon. The score was a tie when time was called, but finally a victory resulted for the Miners with the score 38 to 36. Miners vs Senlor Civils. Dr. J. N.

Congress Must Make the Appropriation.—Regents Would Have Controlof Proceeds. When the news, received from Washington yesterday, materializes, K. U. will have to her credit $20,000, in addition to the "large things" Chancellor Strong is asking of the legislature, and the Fine Arts school the new engineering building and the Miller Observatory will begin to have hopes. The United States court of claims has rendered judgment against the government in favor of Kansas University for $20,000. The claim is for the distraction of the old Free State Hotel which stood in the early days on the site now occupied by the Eldredge House. The hotel, which was owned by the Kansas Emigrant Aid Society, was destroyed May 1, 1856, by a party of state sovereignty men under S. W. Johnson, sheriff of Douglas county. After the war the Emigrant Aid Society filed its claim for damages. Later this claim was transferred to the University, the society evidently having an eye to the future rather than to present needs, for to all appearances the claim was likely to remain a claim for some time. As, in fact, it did. During McKinley's administration it was actually passed by both houses, but was killed by a "pocket veto." Ordinarily the money could not be used by the University, except by a vote of the Legislature. When the Fowler shops burned, however, this same claim was pending and the state legislature, with that in view, voted the University $20,000 to be applied as the regents saw fit. As that vote is still on the statute books, the University may use the money as soon as it can get it. The University's representatives in Washington have again succeeded in gaining judgment and will take care that the bill is not pigeon-holed this time. Sunday Classes at University. Ann Arbor, Mich.—Sunday morning classes, a feature permitted in probably no other university in the United States are to be held for the junior medical students at the state state institutions here, beginning next week. These classes will devote their attention principally to clinics, and, although attendance is not required, a thorough understanding of the subject is so necessary to the practice of medicine that they will probably be well attended. Examination and diagnosis of cases will begin at 10 o'clock and last until noon.—Chicago Record-Herald. "ELOPEMENT IN HIGH LIFE." Annual Post-Exam. Jubilee Saturday Evening.

This is the most pretentious and extensive trip which the club has ever undertaken, including as it does twenty-one of the leading cities in Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas and Iowa. The club comes here from Joplin, Mo., and will appear in chapel Thursday morning. The following extract from the Missouri Independent appeared January 16: "As we issue the sale of seats to the Annual Glee Club concert is in progress. If past years are an indication, the seats will go like the proverbial "hot cakes," and the Glee Club is certainly worthy of such a hearty indorsement. A representative of the Independent dropped into the Auditorium a few days ago while the Glee Club was rehearsing and found that the club was ready for the concert already with the date of their appearance still two weeks away. The Club sings a remarkably fine program with a finish and swing that is truly commendable. The fine harmonies of some of the heavier selections are handled with almost professional skill and the Club should make a reputation for itself on its tour. The Varsity will have good reason to be proud of this organization for it is giving a fine class of music in very creditable style." Reception to Dr. Palmer. "Point o'Pines," the home of Dean Templin, will be thrown open this evening to all those who wish to meet Dr. Palmer. Everyone is cordially invited as it is desired that none of the many friends Dr. Palmer has won during his stay in Lawrence may miss the pleasure of meeting him informally. Freshmen Elect Captain. Last Friday the freshmen elected Mr. Earl C. Woodward as captain of their basket ball team. Mr. Woodward played last year on Glasgow's "ever-victorious" team and is well fitted for his new position.

The Umpire predicts a general freeze out. Dr. Palmer's lectures are proving to be by far the most interesting and popular course that the University has provided in years. At the same time they are eminently scientific and valuable. We may expect more of the same kind. The usual number of budding politicians went to Topeka last night to partake of the Kansas Day club's annual banquet. The club has come to be largely an organization of young men and it is very proper that the men of the University should take their places among them. The glee club has been finding it a very easy matter to get concert dates this year, and has received requests for dates that it cannot possibly fill. If the local interest in the club continues, and its improvement continues as it has in the past year, the club can be made the best advertisement the University can get. The phenomenal attendance upon Professor Palmer's lectures is a tribute to the University of Kansas as well as to Professor Palmer. It shows that the students of the University are interested in the best things, even scholarly and academic things, when presented by a master. Professor Palmer paid us a great tribute when he decided to give the lectures here precisely as he gave them at Harvard and Yale, but the results have shown that he made no mistake. It is to be hoped that the crowded week to come will still find the students where they belong and want to be at 4:30. It is worth even a lower mark, for it will be significant for a lifetime. Sentiment at Topeka so far as can be learned is all for the engineering buildings. There is absolutely no organized opposition; and it is impossible to find any dissatisfaction over the amount, except with men who are fathering some charitable institution and fear it may suffer. All signs point to an appropriation in the amount asked by Chancellor Strong. Apropos of the Thaw Case We knew it would come. A young man wrote to the law department of the State University to know if they taught unwritten law here. He said he wanted to become a lawyer and devote himself to that specialty. —Lawrence Journal. Miss Miriam Palmer, '03, is visiting friends in Lawrence.

It is said that Dr. Hetherington of Missouri University is about to write a book on "The Culture and Handling of Lemons." The doctor has has considerable dealing with the citrus since he attempted to organize the "Big Five," which has since the last alum bath developed into a lovely pair. There was at one time ill feeling caused because Manager Lansdon of Kansas was given credit for conception of the idea of starting the organization. This ill feeling came from Missouri.

It is a significant fact that Professor Palmer has been selected to write the article on the teacher in the Atlantic Monthly. This, the greatest literary magazine in the country, is now publishing a series of articles on the professions by the most eminent leaders in the various professions. It is plain enough why they selected Professor Palmer to represent his profession. Professor Palmer's ambition has been to rise to the summit of his profession as a teacher. He has regarded publishing as secondary. Still he has found time to publish numerous articles and books. Among the latter are translations into rhythmic English prose of the Odyssey and Antigone from the Greek; the Field of Ethics; the Nature of Goodness; an edition with notes in two volumes of George Herbert; a book on English Style, etc. "The Prince of India" at the Willis Wood Theatre. Klaw & Erlanger's colossal production of Gen. Lew Wallace's "The Prince of India," will be the great attraction at the Willis Wood Theatre, Kansas City, the entire week of February 4, with Wednesday and Saturday matinees. "The Prince of India," written by Gen. Lew Wallace, author of "Ben Hur," and presented by Messrs. Klaw & Erlanger (the producers of that world-famous spectacle) excels its predecessors from almost every point of view. While adhering to the reverent atmosphere which dominated "Ben Hur," it is a more interesting story, largely because of the greater dramatic possibilities. There are twelve magnificent scenic views in "The Prince of India," the most marked being the Princess Irene's Palace at Therapia; the Audience Chamber of the Emperor Constantine, the remarkable moving panorama of the storm-ridden Bosphorus and the massive goldendomed interior of the Church of Sancta Sophia.
