Two Pictures Alone Are Valued at $20,000.—Exhibit to Open March 4.
The annual art exhibit at the University of Kansas will be opened March 4 in the Museum building. One hundred and eleven of the world's best paintings secured from New York and Chicago studios will compose the collection. In addition to these, several pictures of home artists will be shown.
The two most important pictures are, Algerian Women by F. A. Bridgeman, and Mass in Brittany by Lucas Simon, the famous French artist. They are loaned by the Chicago Art Institute, and are insured for $20,000.
Forty-four pictures in the collection were obtained from the Chicago Art Institute and are representatives of the best American art. These paintings were examined by a jury of critics appointed by the authorities of the Annual Exhibit of American Art and were classed as the leading studies in the art world.
The collection is being brought to the University in connection with the Fine Arts Department of the University of Nebraska and the Kansas City Art Institute the same as last year. The paintings are now on exhibition at Lincoln and from there will be brought to Kansas City and then to Lawrence last as the University had last year's collection first.
Professor Griffith, who has charge of bringing the collection here, says it will be the best that has ever been on exhibit in the West.

WON 2 OUT OF 3
BASKET BALL FIVE WON TWO GAMES AT NEWTON.
Lost by Close Score to Ottawa Two Games against Washington This Week.
The basket ball boys won two fast games from Newton and lost one to Ottawa during the Christmas recess. The first game at Newton was hotly contested by both sides, Kansas winning by the score 37 to 32. Woodward and Milton Miller played star ball in this contest, which was marred somewhat by wrangling over decisions.
The Newton team again met defeat at the hands of the Jayhawkers in the second game by a score of 39 to 32. Billy Miller was the star in individual playing in this contest. This was Miller's first game of the season.
The tide turned in the contest with Ottawa. On a very small and miserably lighted court Kansas met defeat to the tune of 39 to 33. Coach Brummage had coached his Baptist five well and they showed a distinct reversal in form from their game here. The contest was extremely rough throughout.
Basket Ball
The remainder of the schedule for the southern trip had to be cancelled as satisfactory guarantees could not be obtained from several of the teams.
The Jayhawkers are in fine trim for the contests with the far-famed five of Washington University, which will be held in Robinson Gymnasium at 4:30 Friday and at 8:00 p. m. Saturday of this week.
K. U. Scientists at Chicago.
Professors Bailey, Cady, McFarland, Marvin, Landrum, Wilcox, Boodin, Stimpson, Templin, Sudler, and Baumgartner were in attendance at the National meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science held in Chicago during the holidays.

GLEE CLUB SCORES HIT.
Sang Before Two Thousand People At Topeka.
The university Glee Club scored a distinct hit in its concert at Topeka during the holidays. The concert was given in the auditorium before an audience of at least two thousand persons, the largest a K. U. Glee Club has ever sung before.
The program which was much the same as was given by the club at its concert here was well received throughout and the work of the club received only the highest praise. The Rock Chalk Jay Hawk song written for the Club by Harry Kelly and dedicated to Chancellor Strong made a tremendous hit with the large audience as did the solos by Mr. Teal, Powers, Snattinger and the Jayhawker quartet.
The club is planning an extensive trip for February covering ten or twelve engagements.
PROF. ADAMS TO LECTURE
George Burton Adams, professor of History at Yale, will deliver a series of lectures at the University next week. Three of these lectures will be on "The Origin of the English Judicial System" and the last two on "The Origin of the House of Commons." The series will begin Monday afternoon at fourthirty o'clock and a lecture will be given every day of that week at that hour. During his stay here he will also speak in chapel.
Professor Adams is one of the foremost historians and scholars of America and is the author of many historical works. Perhaps his best known book is "Civilization of the Middle Ages." His most recent writings has been a contribution to the Political History of England Series covering the early half of the 13th century.
Prominent Historian of Yale to Give Series of Lectures Here Next Week.

THE PLACE OF THE UNIVERSITY
One of the features of the Teachers' Association Meeting at Topeka during the holidays was the miniature Kansas-Baker debate in which President Murlin of Baker attacked the position of the university and was ably answered by Chancellor Strong. President Murlin, who had the closing paper on the program expressed his ideas as to what the relation should be between the university and the denominational colleges. The university, he said, should supplement the work of the religious schools and should not duplicate it in the least. It should confine its efforts to the technical schools and the Graduate School and should abandon the work of the college altogether leaving that to be done by the denominational schools. "Millions of state money for graduate work, not one cent for undergraduate work," ended the Baker President's remarks.
Chancellor Strong who entered the room while President Murlin was speaking was called upon to answer the attack by the Baker president and well did he maintain the position of the university. "The university is and always must be the head of the educational system of the state," said the Chancellor, "and as the head of the educational system must cover every branch of work. We are not antagonistic to the denominational colleges. Rather we want to help and encourage them wherever possible. It would be foolish for us to abandon our collegiate department. Nearly half our enrollment is in the college and the university must have in its curriculum what the people want."
Judging from the discussion among the teachers after the little tilt, Chancellor Strong had scored a complete victory for the university.
The various county clubs of the university are much to be commended for the many successful banquets they gave over the state during the Christmas
holidays. Nothing has done more in the past to arouse interest in the university than these club banquets and this year was no exception to the rule. More than ever the true university spirit of loyalty and the real genuine Jayhawker enthusiasm was present. A twofold object was served in all the banquets. The alumni, especially those who had been out of school for several years, had their enthusiasm renewed by the invigorating atmosphere created by the active student. They were made to feel that the university was the same old place only better than when they went there. Then the high school seniors were afforded an opportunity of listening too and observing for themselves what the university offers for them and above all things were given a hearty invitation to attend the university next fall.
Both the Glee Club and the Mandolin Clubs report extremely successfull trips throughout the state during the Christmas holidays and both are to be congratulated on their showing. Nothing advertises the university more than these musical organizations in their tours of the state. As one of the country weeklies said in advertising the concert of one of the clubs "Come and See the Kind of Men you Pay to Help Educate." The clubs were held as a criterion as to what the university produces and from the splendid reports following their concerts, they did not fail to stand the test.
The series of lectures to be given by Professor Adams of Harvard at the university next week is one of the very best

things the university has to offer its student body this winter. Professor Adams has a world wide reputation as a historian and scholar and in his special field is an acknowledged authority. He has a pleasing personality and his lectures are said to be delightfully entertaining. His subject, Origin of the English Judicial System, is one of great interest to every student and should be of particular value to the law students as well as the specialists in history.
K. U. Professor Honored.
Prof. J. E. Boodin gave during the holidays an address at the State Teachers' Association at Topeka on "Social Psychology and its Relation to School Sentiment." He also read a paper before the Philosophical Association in Chicago on "Meaning and Validity." He was reelected secretary-treasurer of this organization.
Rex B. Singleton, treasurer of last year's Junior class, visited the Allemania club this week.

Do you notice any thinning of the freshman ranks? There are the usual desertions in favor of home and mother.
From the Capital: "The K. U. Glee Club failed to take back all the money which the K. U. football team lost in Topeka." Someone please say amen.

ANGNEY LEAPS TO HIS DEATH
TOOK HIS OWN LIFE THURSDAY MORNING.
The funeral services of Urbane Angney, captain elect of the football team, who leaped to his death from a rear window of the fifth floor of Fraser Hall Thursday morning, were held this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the Methodist church.
Jumped from Fifth Floor Window of Fraser Hall-Funeral Services Were Held Today.
The senior class of which he was a member and the football squad attended the services in a body. Rev. M. E. Nethercutt of the Methodist church preached the funeral sermon while Prof. J. E. Boodin spoke on behalf of the University. The Jayhawker quartet furnished the music. The interment was made in Oak Hill cemetery.
The pall bearers were his companions on the football squad: Carl Rouse, Jesse White John Carlson, Will Caldwell Howard Reed and George Crowell.
Angney's death came as a great shock to everyone. Thursday morning while the nine o'clock classes were in session he mounted the north stairway of Fraser Hall until he came to the topmost landing, opened the window, went out on the ledge, and from some point, the exact spot will probably never be known, leaped to his death on the cement walk 85 feet below. He struck on his face and death was instantaneous.
Earl Stevenson, a freshman in the medical school, who was on his way from the Medic building to Fraser, saw the body in mid-air and with Nate Miller, the veteran colored janitor, was the first to reach the mangled body. Chancellor Strong was notified immediately and Coroner Carl Phillips was summoned.
On the ledge of the window from which he jumped, Angney left a note very enigmatical in character indicating temporary insanity. This note was written on the back of an envelop and was weighted down with coins. It read:
"Dear Jesus:—
My life is past,
Mv pleasures gone
No pleasure for me. You can know the reason. Do not hold me responsible. I have gone to pay the debt I owe. If I had only done it sooner. Goodby. May you all live happy."
There is no doubt but that Angney was temporarily insane. Dr. Emley, the University physician, Dr. Naismith, and the coroner, Dr. Phillips, all agreed that it was a plain case of suicide of a person mentally unbalanced.
The note was unsigned.
Professor Wilson Sterling met Angney near the stand tower shortly before nine o'clock. He spoke to him but Angney did not reply. Job White was with Angney at 9:12 o'clock only a short time before he took his life. He seemed perfectly sane then.
A few minutes later however, Allan Dodge, president of the senior class passed him on the stairs as he went up to his death. Dodge clapped him on the shoulder and "jollied" him but he did not reply.
BASSELL
CAPTAIN URBANE ANGNEY.
Haughey Angney, a brother of Urbane, was in Psychology class when the tragedy occurred. He had left Urbane shortly before eight agreeing to meet him at the library. Urbane did not keep the appointment and Haughey went to class without him at nine. "I knew something was the matter with Urb, the instant Professor Engel called me out of class," said Haughey the day of the tragedy. "I just felt something had happened to him."
The most important key as to the mental condition of Angney leading up to his suicide probably lies in the visit he made to Dr. Naismith some ten days ago. He complained to Dr. Naismith of feeling queer and of worrying about something. Dr. Naismith asked him if it was financial matters that were troubling him but Angney replied it was not but things of a private nature.
Several theories have been given as to what unbalanced his mind. Some have said that it was caused by a love affair. The family, however, says this is out of question. The fact that the night before he committed suicide, he was reading Plato's Phaedo, a discourse on death and the immortality of Continued on page 4.
BASKET BALL FIVE WALLOPED BY WILLIAM JEWELL.
DOWN TO DEFEAT
Baptists Won 27 to 16—Nebraska Here Friday and Saturday of Next Week.
The fast William Jewell five walloped the Jayhawkers in an exciting game of basket ball at Liberty last night to the tune of 27 to 16. Both teams played an aggressive game throughout but the Jayhawkers could not connect with the basket consecutively. Team work was out of question on account of the narrowness of the William Jewell court.
A change in the schedule of the Jayhawker basket ball team was occasioned by the cancelling by Washington University of the games that were to be played here yesterday afternoon and tonight. A disagreement in the athletic management of Washington University caused the games with Kansas to be postponed indefinitely. Immediately upon receipt of news from Washington, Manager Lunsdon communicated with William Jewell and as a result the team went to Liberty yesterday.
What promises to be the hardest games of the season will be played on next Friday and. Saturday when the strong five of Nebraska University will meet the Jayhawkers in Robinson Gymnasium.
This is the first time Nebraska has played in Lawrence for years and the games promise to be fast and exciting.
BIG FIVE IN CONFERENCE
Representatives of Missouri Valley Universities Meeting at Kansas City Today.
A meeting of the Missouri Valley Athletic Conference is being held in Kansas City today. Profs. C. E. McClung and A. T. Walker of the Kansas Athletic board are representing the University.
The conference is composed of five schools, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and Washington universities. Representatives from each of these universities will meet today and make some definite changes in the rules which have been governing athletics in the Missouri Valley during the past year.
The Kansas delegates are instructed to ask for a change in the rule prohibiting outside games for the freshman squads. This rule resulted very disastrously for the university during the past year as it was practically impossible to keep a freshmen squad together with no trips.
Each of the members of the
conference will probably have some changes to suggest and the meeting promises to be very important. The question of a conference track meet may be taken up.
PRELIMINARY DEBATE MONDAY
Washburn Tryout in Green Hall — Woman Suffrage the Question.
The tryout for the Washburn-K. U. debate will be held in Green Hall, Monday at 7:30. Two debaters will be chosen to represent the University of Kansas at Topeka. The question for debate is the woman suffrage question.
The judges chosen are: Rev. Nethercutt of the Lawrence M. E. church, Professors Thomas and Hodder. Arrangements for the assignment of places for the tryout will be made Monday.
K. U. BOARD PAYS TRIBUTE.
Resolutions of Athletic Board on Death of Angney.
The Athletic Board of the University of Kansas is called upon to mourn the untimely taking away of one of the best-loved members, who by his fine skill and athletic ability, had brought distinction to the University and who, by his unswerving devotion to his studies and his consistent demeanor as a gentleman, had won the esteem and the regard of all who were privileged to call themselves his friends. Urbane Angney was and will long be remembered in the University as the ideal of the true gentleman in athletics. A mysterious decree of Providence has deprived us of a friend. He exemplified by his life the traits of a true gentleman, a faithful student, and a tireless worker for the University, of which he was a conspicuous and honored member. He was simple and unassuming in his demeanor, and in the midst of his greatest triumphs he retained his fine sense of modesty. In no sense of the word was he self-seeking, and the honors that came to him came unsought. His memory will be treasured by all who knew him. To the bereaved father and mother, and to the surviving brothers, the athletic board extends sincerest condolences and heartfelt sympathy. It is ordered that these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of the Athletic Board, and that a copy of them be sent to the family, to the University paper, and to the press of the city.

URBANE ANGNEY.
Never has the Kansan been called upon to relate a sadder event than the tragedy that overtook the University Thursday morning. In the prime of life and at the very height of his successes, Urbane Angney, captain-elect of the football team, overtaken by one of those mysterious, inexplicable maladies of the mind, took his own life and in such a manner as to shock beyond expression the entire University body.
It is not for us to question the cause of the deed. It is one of those things that can never be understood; it is one of the mysteries of life. It is rather for us to join our sympathy and condolences with the bereaved family.
The entire University mourns its dead. A true gentleman in every respect, the idol of the students for his wonderful work on the gridiron and unswerving devotion to his University, Urbane Angney leaves a host of friends who grieve over his untimely death.
There are many who will remember him by his brilliant work on the gridiron, by his spectacular dodging, his "bulldog" pluck and grit. Always a true sportsman, always giving everything that was in him, a brilliant individual player, a field general of the highest order, even tempered and a natural leader, he won the admiration of friend and foe alike. It was these sterling qualities that gave him the earned captaincy for next fall.
There are others who will remember him as a student in the class room as well as an athlete. Seldom does it fall to the lot of an individual to be proficient in so many athletic sports as was Angney. Few indeed are the men who could have devoted as much time as he did to fighting his University's battles on the gridiron and on the diamond and yet keep square in his studies. To Angney it was a part of his duty to his school to keep his scholastic record clear in order that he could use his athletic talents.
He was conscientious and painstaking in his school work and had the wholesome respect of all his instructors.
Then there were still others, fewer indeed than the legion that knew him through his fame on the gridiron or the many who met him in the class room—those who knew Angney the man, his qualities as a true gentleman, as an athlete, and as a friend. On these few who were privileged to call him friend will fall heaviest the blow of his sudden, tragic death.
To these friends, to the bereaved family, the Kansan extends its most sincere and heartfelt sympathy.
It is now but three weeks until the final quizes of the term. Of all things that play havoc with the permanency of the Freshman class that first quiz week is the most devastating. Some of the freshmen perhaps are already planing for the home going. But to the despairing ones, let it be said, "Take Cheer." Wonders may be done in three weeks. What now seems sure failure may be turned into victory. And think what it means to fail in the first term. We will laugh when you are gone, and your friends at home will smile when you get home.
The best plan is to get busy, pass the quizes, and stay in school.

ANGNEY LEAPS TO HIS DEATH Contintued from page 1.
the soul, have caused some to attribute his mental condition to the reading of that. The truth can never be known. It was probably none of these suggested causes alone that effected his mentality but a combination of several causes together with a morbid condition of mind.
Urbane Angney, youngest of three sons of Mr. and Mrs. J. Angney of Belle Plaine, Kansas, was born in Sumner county, Kansas, eighteen miles northeast of Wellington on October 31, 1885. He attended the Belle Plaine schools and afterward graduated from the Sumner County High School. This was his fourth year in the University and he and his brother Haughey would have received their degrees in the college this coming spring.
Angney was one of the best known students in the University. He was a student member of the athletic board, quarterback on the football team, thirdbaseman and heaviest hitter of the baseball, nine, and a member of his class basketball and lacrosse teams. It was on the gridiron that he won his greatest reputation. As a broken field runner he was seldom equalled, and first as halfback and the last two years as quarterback he has stood out as one of the brightest of the Jayhawker stars. Cool, reliable and always a fighter he had all the qualities of a gridiron hero and these earned him the captaincy for next fall.

PHI BETA KAPPA ELECTION.
Ten Members of Senior Class Given Coveted Honor.
The local chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the honorary fraternity of the College, met Thursday night and held the annual election of new members from the senior class. Of the ten chosen only four were men Those upon whom the honor was conferred are: Otto August Barteldes, Lawrence; Hazel Elizabeth Branch, Wichita Cora Emmett Dolbee, Lawrence; John Ambrose Hess Halstead; Benjamin Samuel Hill, Walnut; Mattie Kent Lawrence; Evadne Marie Laptad, Lawrence; Madonna Alice Rankin, Albuquerque, New Mexico; Burton Peabody Sears Lawrence; Rosalie Rachel Stone, Walton. This is a smaller number than usual, owing to a rule adopted by the Phi Beta Kappa limiting the number of electives to one-sixth the senior class of the college of liberal arts, instead of one-fourth as formerly.

The next meeting of the Civil Engineering Society will be held on January 30, at which time Ira G. Hedrick, the builder of the great Inter-city Viaduct in Kansas City, will tell of the many engineering difficulties which had to be overcome in the construction.

CHOSE DEBATERS
COUNTRYMAN, BRAY, AND WRIGHT TO REPRESENT K. U.
The preliminary contest to decide who should represent the University in the annual debate with Washburn College was held in Green Hall Monday evening. The three places on the team were given to Thomas F.Countryman of Wakeeney, Edgar W.Bray of Syracuse and Cowles Wright of Arkansas City.
In Debate with Washburn in April—Will be last Topeka Debate.
Ten men entered the contest, all taking the affirmative of the question to be debated, "Resolved, that Kansas should extend the same suffrage rights to women as to men." Kansas is to have that side of the question in the contest with Washburn.
The debate will be held at Topeka probably late in April. According to the decision of the Debating Council this will be the last debate with Washburn as it has been decided to debate none but state institutions in the future. The old contract held good this year.
Professors Thomas and O'Leary and Rev. Nethercutt acted as judges in the tryout Monday evening. Preliminary contests will be held in the near future for the debates with Colorado and Missouri.
Missionary in Chapel.
Rev. J. F. Russell, a missionary on his way to the Philippines under the auspices of the American Baptist society, spoke briefly in chapel Tuesday morning. He referred to the work in which he is engaged and said that he hoped some time in the future to see many Christian teachers and lawyers from the University of Kansas locate in the Philippine Islands.

English Speaking Union
Urged.
"When the two great English speaking people unite, as they must eventually, in a common policy, they will control the destines of mankind," said Prof. George Burton Adams president of the American Historical Association, and head of the Yale department of history in his opening address Monday. That will be England's third great contribution to humanity. Her first two are, the idea of a free government, and the AngloSaxon Empire.
Professor Adams delivered the first of his series of lectures on English History, Monday afternoon. The subject of this lecture which served as an introduction to the course was: "The Results of the Norman Conquest." Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 4:30, Professor Adams lectured on the "Growth of the English Judiciary System," and Friday at the same hour he will discuss the "Development of the House of Commons."
All the lectures were well attended, the chapel being filled every day.
"The Underground Railroad."
At the meeting of the Old and New Club last Saturday evening at the home of Professor Sayre, Professor Todd of the department of Geology talked on the subject "The Underground Railroad." Professor Todd's father was a personal friend of Jim Lane and John Brown and was the founder of Taber, Iowa, one of the stations on the circuitous route by which slaves were taken to Canada.
The Pharmaceutical Society will meet this week on Friday at 11:15. Professor Billings will give an illustrated talk on the subject of the air-plants.

GREEN BUG CRUSADE.
---
Prof. S. J. Hunter Speaks to Agricultural Board.
Prof. S. J. Hunter of the department of entomology spoke at the meeting of the State Board of Agriculture in Topeka last Friday about the green bug which did so much damage to the grain crops of Kansas last year. He told of the marvelous rate of reproduction of the pests and that the difficulty of destroying them is increased by the fact that some of them have wings.
The encouraging part of Professor Hunter's talk was in regard to the parasites which attack the green bug and the practical success which has been reached in their introduction over the state.

SENIOR CLASS
MAKING PLANS
Faculty Asked to Wear Caps and Gowns at Commencement— Class Day Exercises.
At a meeting of the senior classes of all three schools yesterday, the college, engineers and laws, a resolution was adopted asking the faculty to wear caps and gowns at the commencement exercises. The class first voted that the seniors of all the schools should wear caps and gowns and then took up the question of the faculty wearing them also as is the custom in all the larger universities.
The class day exercises were discussed at some length by Prof. McFarland chairman of the faculty committee on class day and Alan Dodge, president of the senior class. Committees will be appointed soon to get the arrangements under way.
Harold Bozelle and Carl Young of the Jaykawker board told briefly of the plans for the Jayhawker and asked the support of the class. Two styles of Jayhawkers are to be issued this spring, a souvenir edition in full leather to cost $2, and a half leather binding for $1.50. Lists of questions were given to the seniors to answer to furnish material for the Jayhawker.
710 More German Students Than Last Year in High School.
The class then voted to give several exclusively senior parties this spring.
MUCH INTEREST IN GERMAN.
The German department has just finished the compilation of some interesting statistics showing that the study of German in Kansas high schools has undergone a heavy increase during the year past. At the present time there are 3811 students in the German classes of Kansas high schools against 3101 at this time last year, showing an increase of 710. The number of schools giving a three year German course has increased during the past year from 34 to 43; the second year courses from 58 to 69; the one year courses have decreased from 17 to 8. The number of K. U. graduates teaching in the high schools of the state has increased from 51 to 57. Professor Engel says that a greater interest is being displayed in the study of German over the state that ever before as is evidenced by the great demand on the department for literature. Two bulletius will be issued by the German department this year instead of one as formerly.

WEDNESDAY, JAN. 15, 1908
COMMENCEMENT WEEK
The seniors held an important meeting yesterday to get their plans underway for commencement week. With an early start and good leaders, it is hoped that '08 will work an innovation in the manner of graduation celebrations at the university. Here has been the most severe criticism of the university year, the failure to make out of commencement what should be made out of it. It should be not alone a week devoted to exercises, appropriate to the graduation of some three hundred young men and young women of Kansas who have completed their college course and are to go out into the world with the training and ideals gained by a university career. It should also be a week of renewing of college loyalty and college friendships by the hundreds of graduates who have gone out from the university in previous years.
It is true every commencement week does bring back scores of faithful alumni and each year this number is becoming larger and larger but it is no where near commensurate with the hundreds and hundreds of alumni scattered over the state who do not come back to visit their alma mater. Other large universities make a gala week out of commencement and the alumni would no more think of missing a graduation than a freshman would the opening address at the beginning of the school year.
Why do graduates of the University of Kansas not come back every year to visit their university during commencement in such large proportions as those of eastern schools? Because there is nothing to draw them back more than at any other time of the year. As soon as the university and the graduating classes provide a celebration worthy of the occasion, more of the alumni will come back. And each alumnus that comes back will bring another. For as the number grows larger and larger and the certainty of meeting friends and
classmates again become surer and surer, the class reunions will become tremendous affairs.
It is to be hoped that '08 will start this movement toward providing more fitting exercises for commencement week or improving those we already have.
Our old enemy the Cornhuskers, are to be here Friday and Saturday of this week to battle with the Jayhawker five for the basketball supremacy of the two universities. Nebraska has a splendid team and it is going to take the hardest kind of work on the part of Captain McCune's squad if Kansas is to carry off the victory. Enough has been said. Whenever the Jayhawker rooters won't turn out by the hundreds to help beat Nebraska at anything, the university will be a very different sort of school from what it is today and Kansas will produce a different brand of loyalty and enthusiasm than it prides itself on now.

In the Language of the Poet---- "We Need the Dough."
Rather slangy to be sure, but it fits the case perfectly.
It simply means that we have more Suits, Overcoats, Trousers, Hats and Haberdashery than we want at this season of the year, and that we need the "Money" worse than we do the goods.
It's against the rules of this up to the hour store to carry stock from one season to the next.
We've cut the prices on everything---and the Man who has his eye on his purse will proceed to invest.
Now to the point.
It's a bonanza for you ---a Jonah for us.
Come, see how badly we "Need the Dough."

SOCIETY AT IOWA.
Social Affairs in Control of Dean of Women.
At the University of Iowa all social affairs are under the direct control of the Dean of Women. Not only must she be given notice of each party or dance before it is held but a list of the chaperons must also be presented to her for approval. The university encourages students to hold their social functions in its armory and it makes a charge of ten dollars an evening for the use of the hall. But whether students hold their parties there or not they are controlled by the same regulations. All except four large class parties are required to close at twelve o'clock. The four exceptions have their time extended until two.

SWIMMING POOL CLOSED.
It Has Been Given Back to Contractor Nadelhoffer.
The swimming pool is again closed. It is being repaired by Contractor Nadelhoffer and until it is made absolutely water tight it will not be opened again. It was feared the leaking of the water through the stone work might cause a settling of the building. The pool has been a continual source of trouble since it was opened. Several times an effort has been made to repair it but without success. It was finally turned back to the contractor and will not be used again until it is completely repaired.

On Holiday. Tour of State—Filled Twelve Engagements—Given Enthusiastic Perceptions
Enthusiastic Receptions.
The Mandolin club returned Sunday after what was probably the most successful concert tour ever made by a K. U. organization. The club played in the following towns: Clay Center, Belleville, Phillipsburg, Norton, Goodland, Colby, Oakley, Hays, Wakeeny, Ellis, Ellsworth, and Wamego.
The club covered more than 1,000 miles, carried twelve men and made more than expenses. The press notices were all highly complimentary. "The club is a great credit to the state university," was the opinion of all who heard the concerts.
Charles Hoar and Don Yeoman in their "College Kids" act drew from seven to nine encores at every performance. Heim Goldman, William Griesa, and Merle Groene, mandolin, flute and banjo soloists, respectively, were given splendid receptions.
The club men were continuously entertained. Not a day of the trip passed without a dance or reception or dinner in their honor.
To Carl G. Eddy, manager of the club, is due the credit for the financial success of the trip. He has proven himself to be by far the best manager the Mandolin club ever had.
The men who made the trip were: Heim Goldman, leader; first mandolins, Charles Hoar, Ridley Pearson, Gunn Christenson; second mandolins; Winfield Scott, John Robertson; flute,

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME IV.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JANUARY 18, 1908.
NUMBER 28
MAY REFORM QUIZ WEEK
NEW PLAN IS BEFORE THE UNIVERSITY COUNCIL.
To Cut Down Number of Quizzes and Extend the Time Al-lotted to Each.
A movement is under way at the university to reform quiz week and some action will probably be taken upon the matter before the approaching siege of "exams" is here. The object of the proposed system is to do away with the present plan of having four and five quizzes on different subjects on one day and to substitute for the two or three short quizzes that are usually given during the last week, one single quiz of two or three hours in length.
According to the proposed plan all eight o'clock classes are to have their examinations on Monday morning, nine o'clock classes on Tuesday, ten o'clock on Wednesday, eleven o'clock on Thursday, one thirty classes on Monday afternoon, two thirty on Tuesday afternoon, three thirty on Wednesday afternoon and four thirty on Thursday afternoon. Friday will be left for special quizzes and to give the students a chance to rest up after the strenuous work of the week and to give the faculty a chance to grade the papers. In case a student has a three hour and a two hour course at the same period he will take a quiz in the three hour course from nine to eleven and the two hour class from eleven to twelve.
The instructors will not triple the amount of work to be done in the three hour quizzes giving but little more than under the former system but will leave time for the student to do more finished work.
Professor E. F. Engel of the German department outlined the new system and has proposed it to the university council for adoption.
"The present plan of conducting quizzes is a remnant of the old term of five hour courses in all studies that was discarded in 1905," said Professor Engel today.
Besides cutting down the number of quizzes, and the great mental strain on the student created by changing from one subject to another so often, the new system which is in vogue at Harvard and all up to date colleges will ease up on the work of the professor, enable each student to study for every quiz, settle coolly down to work during the quiz hour, and feel the relief of having it all over at the end of that time. The instructor will be able to finish examination week without becoming a nervous wreck.
TRYOUT ON JANUARY 27.
Kansas to Defend Income Tax in Colorodo Debate.
The final tryout for the Colorado-Kansas debate to be held in Boulder, Colorado, March 27, will be held on Monday, January 27. The question to be debated is, "Resolved, that congress should pass an income tax law" of which Kansas will defend the affirmative.
In the Kansas-Missouri debate the direct primary question will be discussed. Kansas has not yet taken a side on the question, but next week the Debating Council will make the final arrangements for the debate. This is the only chance for the University students to hear K.U.debaters this year in Lawrence.
MAY COACH AT HASKELL.
Parry Being Considered for Redskins Football Mentor.
Edward Parry, who was assistant coach at the University this past fall, has been called to Gibin, Iowa, by a message stating that his brother was dying.
Mr. Parry is being favorably considered by Supt. Peairs of Haskell Institute for physical director at that institution next year. The matter will be decided the latter part of this month.
Sigma Chis to Entertain.
An informal dance will be given for the old members of the Sigma Chi fraternity at the chapter house tonight. Many of the boys will remain over for the sixth province convention of the Sigma Chis, to be held in Kansas City next Friday and Saturday. The visitors are: Ray Clifford, Kansas City; Harold Sternberg, Wichita; Johnson Strickler, Corbett, Wyoming; Waldo Wellington, Ellsworth; Dick Best, Columbus; Ralph Morrison, Kansay City, Clyde Atkinson, Kansas City; Jack Harris, Kansas City; Frank Woodbury, Kansas City; Joe Burkholder, Newton; Walter Ward, Newton; and Miller Blanchard, Newton.
Orchestra Concert Wednesday.
The concert of the University orchestra, which was postponed until after the holidays, will be given next Wednesday evening in University Hall. The orchestra is in splendid condition, and with the extra practice it has had on the concert music Wednesday's concert will doubtless be one of the best ever given by the organization.
The January meeting of the Sigma Xi society will be held at the home of Professor D. F. McFarland next Tuesday evening.
NEBRASKA WON
CORNHUSKERS TAKE FIRST HALF-FINAL SCORE 20 TO 17.
Use of the Dribble Decided the First Contest—Final Game Tonight.
The Nebraska basket ball quintette defeated the Jayhawkers last night 20 to 17 in the most exciting game of the season.
The game was decided during the last three minutes by a goal and free throw by Walsh. Bell brothers, the Cornhusker guards, were strong and ran up the score in the first half by the superior use of the dribble. Both teams had difficulty in connecting with the basket on field throws. Walsh did the best goal work.
The same teams will meet again tonight and the Jayhawkers will meet the far-famed Nome, Alaska, team on Monday night. The "Arctic Brotherhood" quintette is captained by Don Alford '03 and has won almost all the games played.
As a curtain raiser the Sophomores defeated the Freshmen 16 to 12.

ABOUT QUIZ WEEK.
The Kansan wishes to heartily endorse the movement that is now on foot looking to a reformation of the manner of conducting quizzes. The new plan which will come up before the university council for decision has many admirable features that will meet with the approval of the student body. There is no doubt but that it will relieve greatly much of the strain of quiz week which has fallen so heavily in the past both on the faculty and on the students.
No one can do justice to himself or to his subject when he is compelled to rush from one class to another, concentrating his mind for a short time on one subject, rushing through that quiz, trying to put two hours work in one, then entering another class-room and going through the same performance again that hour. After passing through several such quizzes in one morning no student can possibly be at his best.
The new system will do away with all this hurry and tear. At the worst a student cannot have more than two quizzes in a day and then he will have ample time to do his best on each of these. It will also leave decidedly more time for study for these quizzes. There is no possible chance of a conflict in hours. There is nothing that stands in the way of its adoption here.
The Kansan understands that there is no serious objections to the use of this system by the faculty. In fact several of the more prominent members are agitating its adoption If the university council could be shown that the students really wanted to try the new system there is hardly any doubt but that it would be granted. It is up to the students. If they want the new system, then let them say so. Let them tell their instructors that they are in favor of it.
Systems similar to the one proposed here are in vogue in other institutions of the country and have proved satisfactory. It seems to the Kansan

Preparatory to attending the Celebration of St. Valentine's Day

that it would be worth at least a trial here.
The visit to the University of such men as Prof. George B. Adams goes a long way towards emphasizing the growing cosmopolitanism of the institution. Professor Adams, as head of the American Historical Association and one of Yale's foremost scholars is familiar with the latest thought on his subjects. The visit of such men does much to stimulate scholarship along certain lines, and the lectures are a treat to those students specializing in history. The large audiences that attended the lectures daily were an indication that Professor Adams was appreciated by the students. The Kansan would like to see many such men as Professor Adams at the University.
Reports from Missouri say that a hundred athletes are working every day preparing for the coming track season. With such splendid facilities as the new gymnasium affords here at the University, there is no reason why there should not be two hundred Jayhawkers getting in training to beat the Tigers. Numbers count. Coach Hagerman must have the aid of

SUMMER WORK INCREASED
The Summer School to Enlarge Courses—Extra Three Weeks in Certain Branches.
The catalogue of the sixth session of the summer school is out and shows important changes for next summer. The regular session as usual will last six weeks, from June 11 to July 22. This year biology mathematics, chemistry education English literature German, and European history will be continued to August 12.
Professor Walker, dean of the summer school, says that hereafter, educators selected from the faculties of other colleges of the state will teach in the summer school. Next summer Professors Solandt of Fairmount, Pearson of Bethany and Clement of McPherson will instruct. Under the new system a master's degree can be obtained by three summers' work instead of five. A number of very valuable courses in shop work, manual training and artisan work will be given for the first time.

Professor L. L. Dyche was in Topeka last Friday in attendance upon the meeting of the Kansas Poultry association of which he was again re-elected president.

VOLUME IV.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JANUARY 22, 1908.
CHANGE FAVORED
SENTIMENT UNANIMOUS FOR QUIZ WEEK REFORM.
---
Many Petitions Being Circulated Asking for Action—Pan-Hellenic Passes Resolution.
Student sentiment is rapidly crystalizing in favor of the proposed change in quiz week. Many petitions, asking the council to take action in the matter, have been circulated in the halls and class rooms and are being signed by practically everyone. Already several hundred names have been placed on the petitions and the number is increasing every day.
The Pan-Hellenic, representing more than twenty-five fraternity men of the University met yesterday and passed a resolution asking the Chancellor and University council to adopt the proposed scheme. The matter is being placed before the sororities today and similar action will probably be taken by their Pan-Hellenic council.
Petitions are being passed around at all the large eating clubs and rooming houses and new ones will be started tomorrow. An effort will be made to reach as large a number of students as possible before the meeting of the council.
No action will probably be taken on the matter until next week as the Chancellor is in Chicago. A council meeting will probably be called either Monday or Tuesday to decide the question.
Among the faculty the sentiment is somewhat divided as to the advisability of changing the present system, but it is understood that a good majority is in favor of adopting the new plan.
"I am heartily in favor of adopting the new system," said Prof. A. J. Boynton this morning. "The relief it will be on the students alone is enough to justify the proposed change. It is not fair to a student and he certainly can't do himself justice if he has to take three or four different quizzes in one morning. I will do all I can to get the new plan adopted."
Chas. D. Ise and Roy V. Bigelow went to Topeka Wednesday morning to take the civil service examination required for entrance into the Philippine service.
When Dean Templin was approached in regard to the system, he replied that he had been to busy with enrolling to give the plan much serious thought but that he believed he would favor it. Among the four or five other professors interviewed in regard to the change not one was found to be against it.
NO DANGER FROM DIPHTHERIA
All Who Were Exposed Given Antitoxin.
NUMBER 29
"There is no danger of the spread of diphtheria among the student body if due care is exercised," said the health authorities of the University yesterday.
Many students have been disquieted for several days owing to the fact that on last Saturday a student, C. A. English, a Junior Engineer, was pronounced to have a well developed case of diphtheria. Prompt action was taken by the Medical department. Mr. English was removed to a private hospital and everyone exposed given anti-toxin. There is absolutely no chance of an epidemic of diphtheria being started among the students.
UNIVERSITY POST OFFICE
K. U. Station Is Expected—Mail Carried by Mounted Postman Twice a Day.
The United States Postal Department has issued an order establishing a new system of mail delivery for the University. Instead of delivering the mail once a day to Fraser Hall, a mounted carrier now delivers it twice a day to all the principal buildings on the campus. The carrier leaves the mail at some central point on the first floor of each building, where it can be obtained by the instructors in that department. Professors may have their private mail included in this delivery if desired. Collection will also be made from the various buildings and from boxes to be placed at convenient places on the campus.
The Postal Department has also approved the establishment at the University of a numbered station which will issue money orders, register letters, and sell stamps and postal supplies. This station will not be connected with the delivery of mail.
It is the intention of the University authorities to induce the Government to establish some time in the future a branch office on the campus where students may receive their mail.
LOSE TWOGAMES
BASKET BALL SQUAD FALLS BEFORE NOME 34 TO 28.
Cornhuskers Also Take Second Game.—Newton on Friday and K.C.A.C.Saturday.
In a clean, fast game, which was extremely interesting considering the fact that it was played under the old A. A. U. rules, the Arctic Brotherhood five from Nome, Alaska defeated the Jayhawker squad in the gym Monday by a score of 34 to 28. It was a pretty exhibition of the old style basket ball, quick short passing, no roughing and many shots at the goal and was in direct contrast to the Nebraska games where "indoor football" was the rule.
Don Alford, captain of the '01 team and one of the brightest basket ball stars Kansas has turned out, was one of the chief causes of the Jayhawkers' defeat, tossing one goal after another with his old time accuracy and form. Cap. Swann made an able teammate at forward and the two kept Kansas busy.
The work of the Kansas five was on the whole disappointing. Peard and Billy Miller were the stars.
With the score tie and just five seconds yet to play, Parry of the Cornhusker team defeated Kansas Saturday evening by tossing a neat basket, giving Nebraska the contest by a score of 23 to 21. It was a fierce game throughout, rivaling a football contest, and set the crowd wild with enthusiasm. Milton and "Billy" Miller and Woodward did the best individual work for Kansas.
The Y. M. A. C. squad from Newton will be the Kansan's next opponents, the Jayhawkers meeting them in the gym Friday evening. As Kansas has defeated this team twice already this season the game should be an easy one.
Saturday evening comes the big game of the season, the contest with the K. C. A. C. squad from Kansas City. The Blue Diamonds have a splendid team and the game promises to be a battle royal. It will be the best game of the year on the home court.

ANNUAL ORCHESTRA CONCERT
Good Program to Be Given in Fraser Hall Tonight.
This evening at 8:15 o'clock the University Orchestra will give its sixth annual fall concert in Fraser Hall. The program tonight will be the most pretentious ever attempted by a K. U. orchestra and such difficult music as Schubert's "Unfinished Symphony" and "The Song Without Words" will be rendered.
This year the orchestra contains thirty-five regular players. The program will be made up of eight orchestra numbers and solos by Miss Kate Reynolds and Miss Helen Phipps.
PUTNAM MAY BE A RHODES SCHOLAR
Took Examinations at Yale Yesterday—Only Candidate From K. U.
The Rhodes Scholarship examinations were held all over the United States yesterday and today. There were no candidates here at the University this year, but Kansas will be represented as George Putnam who graduated from the college last year and has been attending Yale this winter took the examinations there as a representative of Kansas and will no doubt be appointed. There is hardly any doubt but that he will pass the examinations as he is a grade one student.
The Rhodes Scholarship comes to the University every other year alternating with the other smaller colleges of the state.
The examinations are in Mathematics, Greek and Latin. The candidates must not only pass in these branches but must also be recommended by the Chancellor, not only as a good student but also an athlete and a leader. Putnam without doubt fills all of these requirements. While in school here he was one of the surest point winners on the track team, in the hammer and shot and discus. On the football team he made good as guard his first year out. His position was always impregnable to all opponents. He was also prominent in University politics being a member of the athletic board.

SENTIMENT IS UNANI- MOUS
The Kansan again wants to urge upon the students the importance of their expressing their opinions upon the matter of quiz week reform. If you are in favor of it, say so, tell your instructors about it; ask them to work for it, sign one of the many petitions that are being circulated in the halls asking for a change in the present system of giving examinations.
We believe that is up to the students themselves whether or not the new system will be adopted. We believe the faculty is fair and wants to do the right thing in the matter and that if they can be shown that the student body as a whole are united against the obsolete method of giving quizzes now in vogue many of those who are now against making the change will favor it.
The action of the Pan-Hellenic, an organization representing more than 250 students, yesterday when it voted unanimously in favor of the new system is only representative of what the general sentiment of the school is in regard to the proposed reform. Among the eating clubs and the larger body of non-fraternity students the sentiment is equally strong and as well crystalized against allowing the present system of quiz week to continue.
The only opposition the plan has met with so far is among a few students of the engineering school and that number is extremely small when compared to the legion in favor of the
change. In face of the sentiment of no small part of the faculty and the practically unanimous sentiment among the students themselves demanding a change in quiz week, we believe the university council ought to and will do the only fair thing, give the proposed system a fair trial.
A small handful of spectators at the basket ball game Monday evening showed an entire lacking in the essentials of true sportsmanship and true gentlemanliness when they hissed the decisions of the referee. Whether the decision was right or wrong, and in this case there was no doubt but that it was right, there can be no provocation which will justify such a display of false college spirit. Such conduct does not reflect credit to the university and certainly not to the persons concerned. It has no place at the University of Kansas.
Dean Briggs' excellent chapel talk on Monday was one of the cleverest, as well as one of the most helpful addresses, that have been given at the University in years. His discussion of the "Ethical Side of College Loyalty" struck home to every person, student or professor, who heard him. It was a clean, wholesome, much needed sermon and can not fail to leave its impress.

Afterthoughts

NOW IN TRAINING
MANY TRACK MEN GETTING IN SHAPE FOR MEET.
Indoor Meet to Open Season Good Material in Sight.
The Kansas-Missouri indoor track meet in Convention Hall on March 14 will open the track season of 1908. Coach Hagerman has been working some of his men all winter and right now there are good men trying out for every event. The reentrance of Pringle, the sturdy hammer thrower, into school decidedly increases the Jayhawkers' prospects in the outdoor events.
"If every athlete in school would come out and train for the track team, we would win every meet this spring," said Coach Hagerman yesterday. "There are plenty of men in this school who can put the shot and do the hurdles but they wont come out. We have the material if it will work."
This year it is very likely that the Freshmen track men will have meets with the Freshmen of two other schools, possibly Nebraska and Missouri. The first year men have better track material than the Varsity itself and will make the veterans hustle.
Captain Priest's squad will enter meets with Missouri in Convention Hall and in Columbia, with Nebraska at Lincoln and with Washington at Lawrence. The Jayhawkers will also have a team in the K.C. A.C. Invitation meet in Convention Hall on March 21.
Among the men from last year's team who will tryout for Hagerman's squad again this year are: Priest, Miller, Cooley, Cummins, Newbold, Haddock Young, Parker, Coventry, Pringle, and Drake.
Chancellor in Chicago.
Chancellor Strong left for Chicago last night to attend an informal meeting of the Association of State Universities which will be held there Wednesday and Thursday. The special meeting was called to discuss matters not finished at the last regular meeting held in November at Washington, D. C. The Chancellor will return to Lawrence Saturday.

ARRANGING THE TROPHIES.
Room to Be Devoted Soley to Athletic Prizes.
The trophies of the K. U. Athletic Association are being arranged in the trophy-room in the northwest corner of the first floor of Robinson Gymasium. The upper half of the walls are finished in blue, but the lower half, in oak panels. The former space is reserved for inter-collegiate trophies, and photographs of the teams and of individual players; the latter, for inter-class prizes and pictures.
In the arrangement each sport is to be kept separate and a place is to be reserved in which the winning team classes are to be recorded for a decade,when a new space or panel for a similar period will be taken. Two cases with sloping shelves will display the base-ball, basket and football trophies.

SOCIETY AT NORTHWESTERN.
A Faculty Committee Exercises Much Control.
The social life of students at Northwestern is much more strictly supervised than at the University of Kansas. A great deal of power is given there to the standing committee on social affairs. The various fraternities, sororities, class organizations, etc. have to apply early to this committee for dates for their parties. Then at least a week before the date granted, another formal application must be made, in writing, stating place, time, and names of chaperons. Parties are permitted only on Friday and Saturday evenings, and it is very seldom that a fraternity or sorority gives more than one formal and one informal party during the year. Also the required time for closing is put rather early. All participants are required to be on their way home by 11:30 p. m. Only in the case of a combined party made up of three or more organizations, such as the "Pan-Hellenic ball," is the time extended until 1 a. m. There must always be a gentleman and his wife for chaperons and often there are two or three mature couples serving in this capacity. Furthermore the representative of the organization must report to the chairman of the social affairs committee within forty-eight hours after the party, stating the exact hour at which the function closed.
"THE COACH RESPONSIBLE."
Said Dean Briggs of Harvard in Chapel Monday.
"The coach is the element in football which needs the closest scrutiny," said LeBaron R. Briggs, dean of Harvard University, in his address in chapel Monday morning on the subject "Athletics and College Loyalty." "Football as played in America today is not a mere game but, in the minds of the players, a test of university loyalty." Dean Briggs said because of this fact came the temptation to the players to do those things to win the contest which went beyond strategy and became dishonesty. Here is where the great influence of the coach exerts itself for it is he who largely determines the policy of the players. Professor Briggs maintained that the relations between ethics and the rules of the game hold in other sports than football, and that in all questions of athletic honor, manners are akin to morals.

WONCLOSEGAME
JAYHAWKERS DEFEATED NEWTON 26 to 25.
"Subs" Were in Game First Half—K. C. A. C. to Play Here Tonight.
With the "subs" in the game in the first half, Captain McCune's basket ball squad barely beat the Newton Y. M. A.C. five last night by the close score of 26-25. In the first half the game was rather slow, and the fast Newton boys had the long end of a 14-12 score when the referee's whistle closed the first round of the struggle.
In the second half the regular Jayhawker quintet was sent into the game and the contest became fast and fierce. The Kansas squad was just barely able to take the Newton lads into camp by a single point. The work of Bergen and Peard was the feature of the game. Bergen made half of the field goals in the second half and Peard threw five out of the twelve goals that the University was credited with. Unrich was the shining star for Newton.
Tonight the Jayhawkers meet the Kansas City Athletic Club in Robinson Gymnasium. This will be one of the fastest games of the season. As a curtain raiser the freshmen will play the Lawrence Y. M. C. A. five.

TWENTY-SIX TO TRY OUT.
Largest Number Ever Entered in Debating Contest.
Great enthusiasm is being manifested in the Colorado debate tryout on the Income Tax Law question. The largest number of contestants ever entered for a tryout will compete for places on the team Monday night. Twenty-six men have entered so far and according to arrangements made by the debating council last night, will be divided into two squads at this preliminary contest to be judged by two different sets of judges. The four best men in each squad will hold a final tryout a few days later.
The list of debaters to try out is as follows: Foster Cline, Ralph H. Spotts, J. P. Jones, E. W. Grant, A. V. Roberts, R. K.
Detrick, A. H. Seddon, M. O. Lock, O. R. Baum, O. C. Smith, O. C. Hull, C. L. Carroll, R. L. Rinker, T. R. Gowenlock, R. J. Reed, John Ise, J. H. Simminger, J. M. Childress, Paul Wall, Ralph Johnson, C. J. Dennis, E. L. Overman, R. H. Baer, Woodie Jacobs, E. D. Keilman, and R. L. Maurice.
CONCERT WAS BIG SUCCESS
Orchestra Made Hit in Its Sixth Annual Concert Wednesday Evening.
The sixth annual concert of the University Orchestra was given under the direction of Professor C. S. Skilton in Fraser Hall last Wednesday evening. From the overture "Mason and Locksmith" by Auber to the Hungarian March from "Faust" by Berlioz at the close, each number of the excellent program thoroughly pleased the large audience of students and Lawrence residents. Introductory to Schubert's "Unfinished Symphony" Dean Skilton briefly sketched the character of the selection in its relation to the life of the great composer. The violoncello solo by Mr. Dalton received especially vigorous applause.
The "Song to the Evening Star" from Wagner's "Tannhauser" allowed pleasing solo parts by Mr. Baird on the trombone and Mr. Hillabrant with the cornet. As violin soloist Miss Phipps was equal to the high expectations of her friends.
The vocal solo from Mendelssohn's "St. Paul" by Miss Kate Reynolds again proved her to be a favorite with a University audience.
HIGH WATER ENROLLMENT.
Is Sure to Pass 2000 Mark Soon.
The enrollment at the University is for the first time soon to exceed the two thousand mark. Last year it reached 1786 but today it is 1995. This includes the summer session but does not include the duplicate enrollments. The beginning of the spring term next week is sure to bring in a great many new students which will put the enrollment over the much coveted 2000 mark.
Governor John Johnson of Minnesota has been asked by the University to deliver the Commencement address here June 1. It is not definitely known as yet whether he will accept the invitation.
Governor Johnson May Speak.
University Vesper Service.
The next University Vesper Service will be held Sunday afternoon at 4:30 in the chapel. The Rev. T. S. Young, pastor of the First Baptist church of Topeka, will give the address.
MAY PLAY IOWA
LANSDON PRACTICALLY SURE OF SCHEDULING HAWKEYES
Ottawa, Emporia Normal, Okla-
homa, Manhattan, Iowa, Nebra-
aska, Washburn, M. U.
The University of Iowa, Ottawa, and the Emporia Normal will be the three new games on the Jayhawker football schedule for next fall according to the present plans of the athletic board. The only game over which there is any doubt whatever is Iowa and Manager Lansdon is practically sure of scheduling that. The athletic management at Iowa has promised Kansas a game if the Big Nine Conference allowed a seven game schedule and as this has been done the game is practically assured. A definite agreement will probably be made at the next meeting of the Big Five Conference at Kansas City, of which Iowa is a member.
Ottawa and Emporia Normal are to be substituted for William Jewell and St. Mary's as curtain raisers for the real football season. The Manhattan game will probably come next on the schedule, followed by Oklahoma here and then the Iowa game either here or at Des Moines. In case the Hawkeyes cannot be scheduled either Ames or Colorado will be substituted. If Kansas goes to Iowa, Nebraska will play here again, otherwise the game next fall will be played at Lincoln. The Washburn game will be held in Lawrence next fall and will be the last game before the Thanksgiving contest with Missouri. Nothing has been done as yet toward determining upon the location of the next Turkey Day game.
So far no contracts have been signed for the games but Manager Lansdon will send them out in a few days and arrange the definite dates for each game.
PLAN IS FINDING FAVOR.
University Council Will Take Some Action Next Week.
Sentiment in favor of the proposed change in the system of giving quizes has been growing rapidly in the past few days, and the general opinion seems to exist among the faculty members that the new plan will be adopted.
Professor Engle of the German department said: "I believe the plan will be adopted without much opposition. I have heard of only one or two members of the faculty who are opposed to it. The reason they give for opposing the plan is that the time for finishing courses would be cut short. But it seems to me the loss of recitation periods would be more than made up by the increased opportunity of the students to review the term's work."
Dr. Naismith is strongly in favor of the change. "I believe it will be adopted. I think there is urgent need for some change. The quizes that pile up on the last days of quiz week are too great a strain on the students and instructors alike."
It is expected that a meeting of the University council will be called for the early part of next week to consider the proposition. Chancellor Strong, it is understood, is not opposed to the scheme.
NO DANGER OF AN EPIDEMIC
University Medical Authorities Say There Is Nothing Alarming in Diphtheria Situation.
Two new cases of diphtheria have developed at the University. Dr. Charles Emley, University physician, after treating some thirty or forty students with anti-toxin, himself took down with the disease yesterday. He had taken 21,000 units of anti-toxin to ward off the contagion but was exposed too many times.
Val Adams, a member of the German Club at 1200 Tennessee street, took sick with a slight attack of diphtheria Thursday and was sent to the country. Every member of the club has been given an injection of antitoxin serum. In all since the first case broke out at the University, more than sixty students have been given antitoxin and the University medical authorities believe they will stop the disease from spreading. Every effort is being taken to prevent an epidemic being started among the students and the doctors say there is absolutely no grounds for uneasiness on the part of the student body.
TAFT CANNOT SPEAK HERE.
Was Unable to Fill Date for February 9, at Lawrence.
The Lawrence Y. M. C. A. has received a letter from Secretary Taft stating that he would not be able to accept the invitation to speak in Robinson Gymnasium February 9. Taft is making a tour of the West and the City Y. M. C. A. in connection with the University Y. M. C. A. have tried several times to book him for a date at Lawrence. W. R. Stubbs made a determined effort to get Mr. Taft here for February 9, but was unsuccessful because all his dates for the western trip were full. The Y. M. C. A. stated this morning they still had hopes of getting him to speak at the University later in the spring.

ANOTHER PHASE OF COL LEGE LOYALTY
It is a lamentable fact, but nevertheless true, that the strongest men at the University are prone to shirk the work in which they are most proficient. Particularly is this the case in debating and track work. The football team seems to be the only organization in the university that holds its men with any certainty for more than one year. Men who last year made a record on the track team are this year taking apparently no interest in track work; men who in years past have been the star debaters of the university are taking absolutely no interest in the tryouts this year. What is the reason for this condition of affairs? The track men make a K and receive the same official honors that football men do. The debaters are awarded a gavel with a K on it. Neither can say they do not receive worthy rewards for their efforts.
University men who excel in any particular line of work should feel it a duty incumbent upon them from mere loyalty to their school to get out and exert their best efforts to make the university victorious in every activity of college life. If Kansas is going to do anything at all in track and debating this spring, some of the many men of special calibre must come out and do their share.
There is no occasion for alarm in the diphtheria situation.
Save your money and Make Your Dates...
Preparatory to attending the Celebration of St. Valentine's Day
February 14th and 15th
The cases of those actually suffering from the disease are extremely few and every effort has been taken by the university medical authorities to keep the contagion from spreading. In such a time as this wide spread alarm can only hurt the university and can do nobody any good. If everybody exercises due care and precaution there is absolutely no chance of an epidemic becoming started among the students.
It is still not to late to speak in favor of the quiz week reform. The university council meeting to discuss the matter will not be held until next week and every display of the real sentiment of the student body in regard to the movement will help in getting the proposed system or at least part of it adopted. The advantages and disadvantages of the plan have have been discussed so much that there is no need to enter into them. It is enough to say that every student should be interested in the proposed changes and show this interest by expressing his sentiment.

University Making Elaborate Plans to Entertain Teachers.
PREPARING FOR CONFERENCE
The annual conference for high school teachers and superintendents will be held at the University of Kansas March 20 and 21, and will be under control of the departments of American and European History. An extensive program is being prepared and many attractions will be provided to entertain the visitors.
The University has secured Dr. Lyman Abbott, editor of the Outlook, to give a course of lectures during that week. The lectures begin March 15 and continue for one week, giving the teachers an opportunity to hear one of the foremost editors of the day.
The Fine Arts School will give a concert before the final lecture. In addition to these attractions, the Annual Art Exhibit of noted paintings will be in progress.
MEETING WITH SUCCESS.
University Making Affiliations With Smaller Colleges.
A Committee on Visitation composed of Deans Marvin and Blackmar and Professors McClung and Walker was appointed last fall. The purpose of the committee is to get the University better acquainted with the neighboring institutions and to consider possible affiliations of those schools with our professional departments so that students may take the freshman and sophomore years of the engineering and medical courses there and then come to K.U. to finish. The colleges are taking well to the suggestions of the committee and several will be able to offer work in the Medical course next year.
The following schools have been visited: Washburn, Campbell, Friends, Fairmount, Southwestern, Kansas Wesleyan, McPherson, Cooper, Ottawa.
Mandolin and Guitar Playing.
Mr. Fritschy the Swiss artist, who is the official mandolin and guitar instructor of K. U., assisted Mr. Samuel Siegle, the world's greatest mandolinist, both in teaching and concert playing for six years in New York and Chicago. All students wishing to play these instruments artistically are requested to enroll at once. See Dean Skilton for further information.

STRICT RULES FOR GIRLS.
They Lead an Exemplary Life at Northwestern.
The following regulations governing women students are in force at Northwestern University. The Dean of Women has complete supervision in all matters affecting the social life and residence. Women students not living with their parents or guardians, legally appointed, are required to reside in some one of the college halls. But wherever the student resides she is subject to the same regulations.
The doors of Willard Hall are closed at eight o'clock in the evening. at which time all residents are supposed to be in the house. If a girl wishes to be out after eight o'clock, returning before ten, she must first fill out a blank with her name, stating where she may be found. Absence from the house after ten o'clock is allowable only upon special permission of the Dean of Women.
In case a student wishes to go out of town, she must first confer with the Dean of Women and register for her absence. Residents of other halls and of private houses are required to observe the same regulations, substituting for the name of the Dean of Women that of the head of the house in which they reside.
A section in English History covering the period from 55 B. C.-1485 A. D. will be organized at the opening of the second term for beginning students. The section will meet on Tuesday and Thursday at 10:15 in Green Hall.

"After your graduation from this institution," said Justice Porter, "you may never run across a sentence in Greek, you may never have occasion to work a problem in calculus, you may never wish to make to use of the binomial theorem, but your mastery of those things in college will not have been in vain. Your wits will have been sharpened and your powers increased for the contests of life. You will have been enabled to rise above the mediocrity and assume a position of importance in the world."

COUNCIL DID NOT ADOPT PLAN
Granted a Holiday on Friday of Quiz and Appointed Committee to Discuss Reform.
At a meeting of the University council Monday afternoon, it was decided that it was too late to adopt the suggested change in quiz week for the winter examinations, but a committee was appointed to see what improvements could be made in the present system before the examinations for the spring term were here. The council was not overly enthusiastic over the new plan but was unanimous that some of the evils of the present system should be abolished.
To allow the faculty time to grade quiz papers and to give the students a rest before the new term, a holiday was granted on Friday of quiz week.

THE SPIRIT OF FAIR PLAY
An incident happened at the K.C. A.C. basket ball game the other evening that every true friend of the university sincerely hopes will never occur again—the stopping of the contest to call down the crowd for unfair and unsportsmanlike rooting. Basket ball, dependent as it is so much on the officials, is the one sport most likely to arouse the ire of the crowd and, for that reason alone, the spectators should be all the more careful to see that their conduct is not unworthy and unbecoming of the university.
The referee at the best has a difficult and trying position. He cannot help but make mistakes but he is honest in them. The athletic management of the university would never allow a man to officiate here that it did not know was sure of giving fair play to everybody. So if those mistakes occur, and most often the "unsportsmanlike rooting" is done when the referee is in the right and the crowd in the wrong, they should not be questioned by the crowd. Remember the referee is doing his best.
Then comes the question of cheering the home players. When a good play is made there is never any hesitation over the hearty applauds with which it is received but when the boys are off color and are not putting up as good a game as they were expected too, a certain few spectators, not loyal rooters, have greeted them with hoots. Remember, that they also, are doing their best and that when they are at their worst is when they most need the support of the rooters,not their discouragement.
Any such unfair rooting either

You've had "patience;" this will require no more.

at the referee or at the players, reflects not only upon the few actually concerned in it but upon the entire university. Kansas should ever cherish its reputation for fair play.
While of course, it is considerable of a disappointment that the university council did not see fit to give the proposed changes in quiz week a trial, still a move was taken in the right direction when a committee was appointed to see what could be done to eradicate as many of the evils of the present system as possible. Many of the instructors now scatter their quizzes out during the term so that when the final week comes only one quiz has to be given and that only over part of the terms work. If the agitation for a reform did nothing else than to influence other instructors to lighten somewhat the strain of the present system of quiz week it was not entirely in vain. The holiday on Friday of "exam" week will be relief to everyone, faculty and students alike, and certainly is not one of the least results of the reform agitation.
Twenty-six men tried out for the Kansas-Colorado debate Monday—a sure sign of the increasing interest being taken in

that much neglected branch of university activity. Of course the opportunity of a trip to Boulder appealed to many of the contestants, but leaving that out of consideration entirely there was still more interest displayed in the tryout than ever before over debating at the university. A few more such contests and tryouts as that Monday will see the University as enthusiastic over and as victorious in debating as any branch of athletic sport.

Professor Duncan on Life.
Professor R. K. Duncan spoke to the Chemical Club Thursday afternoon on "The Relation of Chemistry to the Origin and Nature of Life." Mechanists have assumed that because no supernatural entity has been found in so-called living things that, therefore, none exists. Professor Duncan suggests that it is more reasonable to believe that this ruling entity has not been discovered because it guides the activities of the organism in accordance with the laws of chemistry instead of interfering with them. He believes that as the brain is composed of substances very susceptible to impressions that it is well adapted to transmit the expression of the soul and that this is a better explanation of the relation of the psychical and physical than the theories of the mechanists.
The officers of the University Democratic Club met last Saturday and arranged a program for the first regular meeting of the year, to be held in Green Hall next Saturday morning. A constitution for the club has also been arranged.
