CORNHUSKERS WERE DEFEATED
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FEBRUARY 2,1909
KANSAS TOOK GAME SATURDAY 18 to 13.
Missouri Comes for Two Games Tomorrow.—Missouri 26, Nebraska 24 Yesterday's Score.
The feature of the game was the guarding done by both teams. Johnson was put in at guard for Kansas and held Walsh down to three goals. For the first thirteen minutes of play neither team scored a point. It was eighteen minutes before Nebraska threw a field goal and Kansas did not get one until the second half. The score at the end of the first half was 8 to 2 in favor of Nebraska.
Last Saturday night in a sensational game, which was undecided until the referee blew his whistle at the end of the last half, the Jayhawker basket ball team won from the speedy Cornhuskers on their own court by the score of 18 to 13. On account of the snow storm the Kansas team was compelled to stay at Union, Nebraska, Friday and did not arrive in Lincoln in time to play the game scheduled for Friday evening.
At the beginning of the second half the Jayhawkers started in for blood and soon hit their old time pace overtaking the lead which the Cornhuskers had over them. Bell of Nebraska was disqualified in the second half and replaced by Jones.
Wednesday and Thursday nights of this week the Kansans play the Tigers in Robinson gymnasium. These will be the first intersection championship games for Kansas.
Miss Ruth Hunt spent Saturday and Sunday at her home in Kansas City, Mo.
"Phog" Allen was up to coach the Kansans last night. He says the men are all in good condition.
According to dope the Tigers should be defeated. At Lincoln last night the Tigers defeated the Cornhuskers by a score of 26 to 24. The Nebraska correspondent makes the defeat seem due to the fact that the Missourians would not play against Wood, the colored forward of the Nebraska team. Tonight the Tigers play at Manhattan.
NUMBER 47
CARRUTH STARTS
SCHOLARSHIP
Professor W. H. Carruth, head of the department of Germanic languages and literatures, has established a freshman scholarship of $100 for the graduates of the Lawrence high school who enter the university. It will be available to the graduates of 1909 and will be awarded to the candidate passing the best examination in entrance German. The examination will cover all of the two or three year course and will be conducted by members of the German department of the University. One-half of the amount of the scholarship will be payable November 1, and the other half May 1, 1910. It is the first scholarship provided for the benefit of Lawrence high school students. Professor Carruth has specified that the scholarship be known as the Frances Schlegel Carruth scholarship.
ART EXHIBIT OPENED TODAY
The art exhibit opened today, although not all the pictures are in place, the arrangements for lighting the exhibit have not been completed, and the catalogues have not yet arrived from the state printer. The work of hanging the pictures and placing the electric lights will be finished today, and the catalogues will be here in a few days. For the present, the exhibition will be open only three nights a week, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It will be open through the day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
LAST JOINT CASE ENDED.
The Last Echo of the Scoop Club Newspaper.
Probably the last incident in the events following the Scoop Club's edition of the Lawrence Journal last spring occurred in the Douglas county district court yesterday when "Bull" Drake pleaded guilty of violating the prohibitory law and was fined $100 and given thirty days in jail.
Drake's was the ninth conviction which resulted from the Scoop Club's paper.
Henry L. Simpson '07 of Denver, Colo. visited at the University, Monday.
LEGISLATORS WERE HERE
TWELVE OF WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEES ON HILL FRIDAY.
J. W. Gleed for One Board of Regents for Two Schools-C. S. Huffman for Oread Hospital.
Owing to the inclement weather only twelve members of the ways and means committees of the house and the senate were able to visit the University last Friday. The twelve gentlemen present attended chapel, inspected the different buildings and looked into the work being done by the students and by the school at large.
At the morning chapel exercises all the legislators spoke. Representative Davis of Bourbon county, a former student of the University, made a splendid, practical speech in which he urged the University to get closer to and do more for the people of the state. His speech was in line with the recent action taken by the Chancellor in investigating ways to carry on extension work to aid the whole people.
Every senator and representative present stated that the University should be pushed ahead by the state and that the progress of the school should not be allowed to even momentarily stop.
Senator Huffman of Cherokee county, an old and consistent friend of the University, in his speech said that he favored giving the University an appropriation in keeping with the increasing wealth and prestige of the state.
A MEMORIAL FROM J. W. GLEED. Yesterday J. W. Gleed of Topeka presented a memorial to the legislature setting forth the proposition, backed by suitable arguments, that the University and the Agricultural College be put under the control of a single board of regents and of a single chancellor or president. He believes that under such a system the administration of the schools would be better and more satisfactory to all concerned.
FOR A STATE HOSPITAL HERE. Today Senator C. S. Huffman of Cherokee county introduced into the senate a bill providing
(Continued on page 4)
GRENFELL IS TO BE HERE NEXT WEEK.
Next week Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell, the famous lecturer who is devoting his life to bettering the conditions of the fishermen along the Labrador coast, will be at the University. The committee has arranged for addresses on Wednesday and Thursday, and a public lecture to students at 4:30 Wednesday afternoon of next week.
Dr. Grenfell has been called the "Patron Saint of Labrador." After receiving a medical degree from the Labrador Hospital, he went as a mission doctor with the hospital ship "Albert," bound for the Labrador coast. In his own words he wished "to satisfy the aspirations of a young medical man and combine with them a desire for adventure and definite Christian work." This was the beginning of his work in establishing hospitals in Labrador. He is spoken of as surgeon, master-mariner, magistrate, financier, and reformer. He has written a large number of articles for magazines and papers. Dr. Boodin has one of his stories,'A Voyage on a Pan of Ice.' Dr. Grenfell is now making a lecture tour in the interests of his Labrador fishermen.
Don't Flunk the Freshmen.
Unless a first term student in the University has made a malicious failure in his studies it does not seem that there is any good reason to start him out on his college career with a list of "flunks." It seems to be a hobby with some instructors to flunk as many first term students as possible, especially is this true in the language and mathemstics departments. They do not make an allowance for the fact that freshmen, especially during the first term, are discouraged, that for the first time they are away from home, and that the work they do the first term may be no criterion to what they will do during the remainder of their University career. To fail these students serves only to make them more discouraged and drives many from school who otherwise would become good students. The second term is soon enough to begin the culling process on freshmen. -A Senior.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1909
The Ottawa Campus says the school at Ottawa has just got through wasting a week on foolish examinations that serve no purpose in the world except to kill time and test the power of endurance of the students. The paper asserts that all the instructors knew who should be given credit in the work under them long before "quizz" week. To be real frank it does seem like a farce to spend a whole week trying to determine whether a student shall be given credit for what he has done in a certain class. After spending four months with a student in a class it does seem that a week is a little too long to spend in finding out whether or not the student has really done his work. Is it good for the students? No we think not. If spasmodic spells of study are good and long periods of lax work are beneficial then quizzes are good things. Sitting up until two o'clock at night for a week is not, however, best for the health or scholastic standing of the student body.
Alas, poor Reginald, this is a life of bitter disappointment. When it began to look as though the county would distribute pocket money to certain young men on the hill in return for their evidence in the "Bull" Drake case, "Bull" staged a coup d'etat and frustrated the fondest ambitions and blasted the dearest hopes of the needy by ignominiously pleading guilty. And this is the season of the year, too, when spare change is several degrees below the high water mark.
Two Famous Opinions.
Professor Carruth, who is running for mayor, has founded a scholarship for Lawrence high school pupils. But the same amount of money properly distributed in the Lawrence bottoms would have gotten him more votes.-Dod Gaston, Topeka Capital.
W. H. Carruth continues his candidacy for mayor of Lawrence, notwithstanding the frantic and somewhat amusing appeals of the Gazette, which insists that he should come down from his perch, in the interests of harmony and such things. The Gazette's editorial attitude in this crisis is attracting much attention in Lawrence; some call it inspiration and others call it rot.-Walt Mason, Emporia Gazette.
HIGH HONOR TO DEAN GREEN.
Elected President of the State Bar Association.
Dean J. W. Green of the law school was elected president of the Kansas Bar Association at its twenty-fifth annual meeting held in Topeka last Thursday and Friday. Dean Green has taken an active interest in the lawyer's organization since its very inception. Many of the lawyers of the state have studied under "Uncle Jimmie" and they took their opportunity of showing their appreciation.
The Bar association is composed of all the prominent attorneys of the state. Its object is the promotion of legal interests and the discussion of the new laws passed from year to year.
At the same meeting Professor W. E. Higgins was appointed chairman of a committee to consider and report on the subject of crimes and criminal procedure at the next annual meeting.
The Exodus Starts.
J. Carroll Braden, a sophomore in the college, left this morning for his home in Rocky Ford, Colorado, where he may soon enter the University of Colorado.

Our Kansas Yell.
"Rock, Chalk, Jay Hawk, K. U.," the University yell, has this history, according to the Kansas City Journal: Kansas University has a Science club, which has an annual frolic, at which times the organization goes under the name of "It." At one of these festal gatherings, in 1883, and before that time the University was without a slogan, talk started on the subject. Professor E. H. S. Bailey, in charge of the department of chemistry, was at the meeting, and Bailey is named as the father of the yell. He suggested the words "Jay Hawk" as being distinctly appropriate to Kansas. That suited. Someone asked for a word that rhymed. Again something having pointed Kansas qualities was suggested in "Rock Chalk." Kansas has lots of limestone—lots of chalky rock, and the second line was quickly framed. Others were suggested but quickly abandoned. The "K. U." was then added. The "It" club devoted the rest of the evening to trying the yell. It sounded good. At first they simply barked it out in a plain, snappy way. Later years have brought the long sing-song vocalization, and the deflection of the "U," which really gives the yell its resonant, full-throated sound.
R. E. Scammon Gets Appointment.
R. E. Scammon, '04, has recently been appointed to an instructorship in comparative anatomy and embryology at Harvard University. During his course in Kansas Mr. Scammon specialized in embryology and since he received his master's degree here in 1906 he has held a fellowship in Harvard Medical School at Boston. He was instructor in zoology in the University of Kansas during the school year 1905-06.

Received Fraser's Picture.
The State Historical Society at Topeka has recently received from the family in Milwaukee, Wis. a fine oil painting of Gen. John Fraser, who was the chancellor of the University of Kansas from 1868 to 1874. He was State Superintendent of Public Instruction during 1875 and 1876 after which he returned to Pennsylvania where he died in the summer of 1878. It was during his official career at the University that Fraser Hall was erected and named in his honor.

No Electric Power Saturday- Rachael White Broke Ankle.
STORM DID DAMAGE.
Considerable damage was done at the University by the wind storm the last of last week. The whistle on Fowler shops was blown over Friday. A high steam pressure was on at the time and the whistle blew ten minutes before the valves could be shut off. The smokestack, 36 inches through and 75 feet high, was also blown down by the terrific gale.
The electric power was off Friday and Saturday and the library was closed Friday evening. Saturday there was no power to run the Kansan press. The smokestack was temporarily put up again Monday and will answer its purposes until the new plant is finished.
Rachael White, a senior, of Delphos Kansas, was blown from the front landing of Fraser Hall. She struck against one of the iron railings, breaking an ankle.

Several from University Attended Kansas Day Club.
O. C. Hull represented the University Republican Club on the program given at the close of the annual banquet of the Kansas Day Club at Topeka Friday evening, January 29. With the subject of "The College Man and Politics," Mr. Hull brought out the obligations which a young man has to society and the state for the advantages received from higher education. While the college man may not take any active part in politics while he remains in school, Mr. Hull believes he should cultivate a willingness to do so at any time in his life that the opportunity is offered.
Others from the University who attended the banquet were Prof. L. L. Dyche, E. E. Brookens, and H. F. Draper.

Last night Kansas won the first intersection championship game from Missouri in Robinson gymnasium by the score of 24 to 14. The game was the roughest and hardest fought witnessed here this year by the basketball fans.
Both teams started into the game with whirlwind speed but owing to the close guarding neither team was able to score a field goal for fifteen minutes. The close playing caused many fouls, with Missouri the worst offender by seven. The score at the end of the first half was 8 to 4 in favor of Kansas.
At the beginning of the second half the Jayhawker line-up was changed, Bergen replacing Heizer at center. The Tigers were anxious for revenge and started the half with a killing pace. Henley, at center, showed great ability in getting the ball and dribbling it across the court. He made two field goals and four free throws added to this gave Missouri a lead of one point over the Kansans. The Jayhawker team grew desperate. "Tommy" Johnson got hold of the ball, dribbled it across the court through the Tiger team and threw a field goal. This broke the spell and Kansas soon had a lead which the Tigers could not reach. The final score was 24 to 14.
Every man on the Kansas team played a good game. Johnson and Martindell did exceptionally brilliant work. Long who was in the game for a few minutes played a fast game.
Coach Allen was not well pleased with the result of the game. He said that the close score was due to the overconfidence of the Jayhawkers. He expects to win the game tonight by a larger margin.
On account of the kick put up by the Missouri team the glass back-stops will be replaced tonight by wooden ones. This

LEGISLATURE AND MANHATTAN INVITED TO VISIT UNIVERSITY
FACULTY AND STUDENTS OF K. S. A. C. ASKED TO JOIN K. U. IN LINCOLN EXERCISES FEBRUARY 12.
Willis Gleed, of Topeka, Will Speak on That Day—Students Here Are to Care for the Manhattan Students, Faculty to Entertain Manhattan Faculty, and Alumni Association Furnishes Special Train From Topeka.
On Friday, February 12, the one-hundredth anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth,the University will hold a Lincoln memorial service that will be the most representative meeting ever held in the state to do honor to the great president.
The members of the State Legislature and their wives, the state officials, the faculty and students of the State Agricultural School have been invited to be the guests of the University for the day.
The memorial service will be held at the chapel period, in Robinson gymnasium. Hon.J. W. Gleed of Topeka will deliver the address.
After the memorial address, the legislators and agricultural college faculty will be entertained at a banquet in the gymnasium. The students of the Agricultural school will be taken in charge by the University students as soon as the train from Manhattan arrives, and every effort will be exerted to make their visit one that will be long remembered with pleasure.
Some of the newspapers of the state have been giving space recently to discussions of the deadly war that is being waged between the two schools. The University has taken no part in this agitation and has nothing but feelings of the heartiest good will toward its sister institution at Manhattan. The meeting of the faculty and students of both institutions on common ground, and the spending of a day together in harmony and good fellowship will show to the state that its two greatest institutions of learning are not flying at one another's throats, as has been alleged, but are doing their work together for the best intesests of the state which both serve.
The presidents of the various classes met with Chancellor Strong at 12:15 today to make the preliminary arrangements for the entertainment of the
students from Manhattan. A faculty meeting was held at 4:30 this afternoon to place before them the details of the entertainment which will be given the visiting statesmen and the Agricultural College faculty.
The alumni association will have in charge the work of raising funds for the special train which will bring the legislators from Topeka. An effort has already been starred to get a rate of one fare for the round trip from Manhattan. It is believed that unless this rate can be obtained the invitation to visit the University will not look very attractive to many of the agricultural students, but that if the Union Pacific will grant a one-fare rate great numbers of them will be glad to avail themselves of a chance to see the University.
The Lawrence Commercial Club will have in charge the matter of conveying the guests from the station to the University, and will see to it that all the automobiles and other vehicles needed are on hand when the train comes in.
The students of the University are expected to be at the station to meet the incoming train from Mahhattan and each University student is expected to see that at least one student from the Agricultural college is entertained through the day.
Blind University Student.
Fred McCarty, a blind boy of Bloomington, Indiana, has entered the University of Indiana. He expects to graduate from the full four year course and will take his major work in literature. Young McCarty will receive many text books from Helen Keller and will have some one read aloud to him five hours daily.
Morris M. Roberts, a junior in the college, has returned to the University to start in the second term.

K. U. WANTS A CALL FROM
K. S. A. C.
The students of the University of Kansas extend to the students of the State Agricultural College a most sincere invitation to visit the University on the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. The University has always felt kindly towards the school at Manhattan. Both are engaged in the same work. Both draw their support from the same source—the generosity of the people of Kansas.
It was perhaps an unfortunate move that made two schools where there should have been but one. But the error once made can not be unmade and it behooves the two schools to be on terms as friendly as their separate existence will permit. Each should be acquainted with the other. Each should be willing to cooperate with the other in promoting the higher education of the state. The welfare of the state is the aim of both schools and the furtherance of the great work in which they are engaged is paramount to the growth of either institution.
Students of Manhattan, the students of Lawrence want you to come to the University on February 12. They want you to come in the interest of both schools, in the interest of higher education, in the interest of the state of which the students in both schools are the beneficiaries. We want an expression of the good will from the students in the Agricultural College similar to the feeling of good will which the University feels for the Agricultural College.
On February 12 the University of Kansas intends to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. On that day Willis Gleed will deliver an address on the life of that great American. Mr. Gleed is a great student of the life of Lincoln. It is said that he has read every word the civil war statesman ever uttered and nearly all the comment that was made on him by his host of brilliant contemporaries. What a fitting occasion it is for the state university to bring together the students and faculty of her two great educational institutions and the members of the state government to pay a respect to the memory of that president who more than any
other has his official life connected with the birth and early life of Kansas history. May not the institution at Lawrence and the institution at Manhattan receive renewed encouragement in their work from that meeting, and may not the legislature go back to its work feeling that the money spent on higher education in Kansas has been well spent. Why not have that day mark the turning point in higher education in Kansas. Already one who listens can see that state education is turning its attention to the masses of the people, not content with the education of the few. It is becoming democratic. In its influences possibilities for social and material welfare loom conspicuous in the future. "Sending a state to school" is no small thing, but it is the ideal that the state university and state agricultural college should set for themselves. The

The Baker Orange proudly boasts this week that it has acquired a new local editor who had six months training in the K. U. school of journalism, "where they teach the yellow kind." It is feared that the new scribe may be a poor advertisement for our school of yellow journalism. He is sure to wear his young life away in vain if he sets out to put any deeper tint on the Orange than it has at present.
What an embarrassing moment that was when the new editor of the Baker Orange let his pen slip and wrote that Senator "Beverage" worked his way through college.

Miss Helen Phipps on Violin, Mrs. Frances Wade on Harp.
Next Thursday, February 11th, Miss Helen Phipps will give a violin recital in Fraser Hall, and will be assisted by Miss Bancroft, contralto. This is the third faculty recital of the year, and admission will be free.
February 18th a harp recital will be given at the University by Mrs. Frances Wade, assisted by Miss Phipps on the violin, and Professor Skilton on the organ. This will be the first harp recital ever given at the University. Among other numbers, Handel's "Laigo" will be given by violin, harp and organ. This is the third recital of the Winter Fine Arts course, and will be open to holders of athletic tickets.

CELEBRATED KANSAS DAY
University of Kansas Men at Yale Gave Toasts at Banquet.
Last Friday evening about twenty Kansans at Yale University took dinner together to celebrate Kansas Day. Of this number about ten were from the University of Kansas. Prof. W. C. Abbott, who left the University last year, was toastmaster. Prof. A. L. Corbin, K. U.'94, of the Yale Law School, made a talk on "Why Kansas Is Dry." He suggested that perhaps it was because it seldom rains here, or because most of the water is appropriated by the people of Colorado for irrigation purposes; but he thought the real reason was because the people of the state aren't thirsty. In keeping with Professors Corbin's talk, the dinner was "dry."
Professor D. F. McFarland responded to the toast, "The University of Kansas," and Julius Cohn of last year's law class toasted "Uncle Jimmy." Bernard Sheridan, who was a junior law here last year, made a talk.
A Y. M. C. A. County Fair.
The social committee of the Y. M. C. A. have arranged to hold a "County Fair" in Robinson Gymnasium on Saturday evening February 20, along lines similar to the function as carried out by the Y.W. C.A. in past years. The various fraternities and sororities will have special "stunts" and a vigorous time from start to finish is promised. The peanut vender, fakir and other characters prominent at the old fashioned county fair will be in evidence.
One Board for Iowa Schools.
A bill providing for the substitution of one board of nine regents to control the State University of Iowa, Iowa State College and the State Normal school at Cedar Rapids is soon to be introduced in the Iowa legislature. Hitherto the affairs of these institutions have been under the supervision of three separate boards of regents.
Almost a Fire.
A small fire occurred Tuesday afternoon on the third floor of the Chemistry building but the blaze was extinguished before there was any damage beyond a few holes in the hemp matting in which it started. It was caused by the dropping of a few pieces of phosphorus upon the hall matting.
At the regular meeting of the Kansan board this week Flavel Robertson, a Junior in the college and George Bowles, a college Freshman, were chosen as members of the staff of the Kansan. These men have been doing good service for some time past and were picked as the best of the contestants for the vacant places on the board.

An Understanding of Pictures a Part of a Liberal Education —Catalogues Tomorrow.
PEROXIDE CREAM. A mild skin bleach, absolutely harmless, an ideal preparation to soften and baautify the skin. Will not grow hair.
"The art exhibit is for the benefit of the student body and the opportunity of studying these pictures should not be neglected. A liberal education is not complete unless the student is acquainted with some of the greatest painters and their works." Prof. W. A. Griffith was speaking of the art exhibit which opened Tuesday.
In addition to 125 paintings, there are 125 prints, owned by Dean F. O. Marvin. This collection represents the development of engraving in all its phases. It includes four classes of work. First, the copperplate engraving is characterized by its cleanness and smoothness and regularity of lines. It is the conventional method of representation. Secondly, the mezzotints are noted for their richness and softness, with a certain vagueness and lack of precision in detail. These two types of work require long training and great skill.
The third class of prints is the dry-point engraving. Here is found freedom and delicacy of line and a velvety quality in the deep blacks. Lastly, the etchings show great freedom and directness of lines. They possess power and precision.
"All of these prints are the originals. There is not a single copy or reproduction in the whole exhibit. Every picture is direct from the hand of the painter," said Mr. Griffith. One group of etchings was made in 1640. Sir Albrecht Dürer and Rembrandt are represented by several of their best works. Some of Anthony Van Dyck's best prints are among Dean Marvin's collection. Whistler and Francis Seymour Haden are represented by several of their masterpieces.
In the catalogues a full historical sketch of the development of copper plate engraving and etching is given. The catalogues will be here tomorrow.

FIRST SESSIONS OF STATE Y. M. C. A. CONVENTION TONIGHT.
Celebrated Speakers during Week Many High School Students Will Attend.
The State Y. M. C. A. convention opens its sessions in Lawrence today. The first meeting will be held this evening at 7:30 at the Methodist Church. The University Y. M. C.A. will dispense with the regular Thursday night meeting and will attend the session of the convention.
The address tonight will be made by the able Colorado Springs pastor, Dr. Howard Agnew Johnston on the subject "The Call to Young Men to be Witnessing Christians." Dr. Johnson will also deliver addresses at both morning and afternoon sessions on Friday and Saturday. These meetings will begin at 9 A.M. and 2 P.M. respectively.
On Friday evening a banquet will be served in Robinson Gymnasium for the delegates from over the state and the Y. M. C.A. workers of the city. Hon. H. M. Beardsley of Kansas City will be toastmaster; Addresses will be made by Governor Stubbs, and two Y. M. C. A. workers of national fame, Fred B. Smith and F. H. Burt.
The address on Saturday evening at the Methodist Church will be on "World Wide Evangelism" by Fred B. Smith, of New York, the international religious work secretary of the association.
The largest meeting of the convention will be held in Robinson Gymnasium at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Fred B. Smith will deliver the address on "Sins That Kill." Mr. Smith is a powerful speaker and it is expected that enough University men will join with the delegates and city men to equal the audience which heard W.J.Bryan last February.
Many high school students will be in Lawrence the last of this week to attend the big meeting. It is expected that several hundred visiting delegates will come to Lawrence.

Jayhawkers Off For Four Big Games Next Tuesday—Washington Met for First Time.
Thursday night the Jayhawkers took the second basketball game from Missouri by the score of 31 to 23. The contest was hard fought and was full of fouls and roughness. From the start to the finish every man on both teams played his hardest and before time was called two Missourians and three Kansans were disqualified for excessive fouling.
Henley and Heizer, the opposing centers, were the first to be sent to the side lines. Each was so anxious to get a hand on the ball that they had soon disqualified themselves. Heizer was replaced by Bergen and Bernet took Henley's place.
The Tigers were the first to score but their early lead was short lived. Kansas led the race during most of the initial half and the intermission found the score Kansas 13, Missouri 12.
In the second session the superior team work of the Jayhawkers decided the issue of the game. The Jayhawkers soon ran up a lead of half a dozen points and increased their advantage toward the end. In the second half Captain Woodward was disqualified for the first time this year and "Tommy" Johnson was thrown out just as the half ended. Bernet for Missouri suffered the same fate.
For Kansas the work of Johnson and Martindell was the best but the whole squad was in the game all the time. Henley and Ristine were the Tiger stars.

"The aim of the lectures is to have men who are eminent in their line of work tell the people what they are doing and to have the results of their research put in clear and comprehensible terms." This was Prof. C. M. Young's comment on the lectures.
Dr. Webster is considered the best man in mathematical physics in America. If any cases in the United States Patient office involving machines or delicate instruments need a careful decision, the word of Prof. Webster is final authority. "In addition to his scientific knowledge Dr. Webster is a brilliant and polished talker, as well as a linguist," said Prof. J.N. Van der Vries.
Prof. Webster is a graduate of Harvard. He received his Ph.D. degree at Berlin University and his Doctor of Science degree at Tufts College. He also studied at Paris and at Stockholm. Dr. Webster is a member of the American and also the English Academies of Science.
Professor Webster is noted as an author in his subjects and is known as an inventor. He has made several inventions in applications of the gyroscope.
Nelson Heil, a sophomore in the college, has withdrawn from school to take an extended trip through Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois and Minnesota.
The lectures on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday will be in the chapel at 4:30. Dr. Webster will speak at the chapel exercises on Tuesday morning.
Miss Margaret Heizer, of Osage City, is visiting her brother Robert, a sophomore in the college.
Prof. E.M.Hopkins will address the Quill club at its regular meeting next Tuesday on the history of the organization. Ralph Hemenway is a new member of the club.
MANY WORKERS CHANCELLOR HEADS Y.M.C.A.
72 PER CENT OF STUDENT BODY PARTLY SELF-SUFFICING.
Majority of Self-Supporting Ones Are Farmers—50 percent Come
Seventy-two per cent. of the students enrolled in the University are either wholly or partially self-supporting. They earn money by working at more than fifty occupations, and the occupation which claims a larger number than any other is farming. This is the story told by the figures which have been compiled from blanks sent out by the Chancellor some time ago on which each student was asked to show whether he earned his way through the University, wholly or in part, how much he earned, and in what way he earned it.
Out of 466 blanks looked over, 338 are signed by students who are paying or helping to pay their way through school. Of these, 80 do farm work, 52 are clerks, 31 are mechanics, 33 engage in common labor, and 22 do office work to add to the sum which means an education to them. Almost every industry in the state is represented; the ranks of teachers, preachers, paper carriers, stone masons, section hands, engineers, janitors and dozens of others are all being invaded by the self-supporting students.
Fifty-six per cent.of the students come from the farms and small towns of the state. This effectually disproves the sneering charge that has been heard that the University is a school devoted to the "city swell."
FRESHMEN 32; CENTRAL 29.
First Year Men Won in Kansas City in Tight Game.
Yesterday evening in Kansas City the Freshmen basketball team defeated the Central high school five by the close score of 32 to 29.
At the end of the first half the standing was Central 19, Freshmen 9. In the last session the first year men played better team work and were more fortunate in locating the basket. When the whistle was blown ending the game the score was 32 to 29 with the Freshmen to the good.
In the play-off Stuckey threw a field goal. At the same time a Freshman player fouled and Watson threw the free throw, giving the Freshmen the game by three points.
Seniors Had Good Party.
The senior class gave its third and most successful party of the season in Fraternal Aid Hall last night. The balmy spring weather had a good effect on party goers and there were about eighty couples at the party.
ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE STATE ASSOCIATION FRIDAY.
Successful Banquet in Gymnasium Last Night.—Mammoth Men's Meeting Tomorrow.
0
Chancellor Strong was elected president of the Kansas Young Men's Christian Associations at the Friday morning session of the state convention now convened in Lawrence. Since Dr. Strong has been at the University he has attended and made addresses at many of the conventions. He has become a very popular speaker with Y. M.C.A.men and has been especially sought for on themes concerning the relation of the schools of higher education to the association work.
In presenting Hon. H. M. Beardsley of Kansas City, Mo., as the toastmaster for the banquet in Robinson gymnasium last evening Chancellor Strong said that the University was in hearty cooperation with Y. M. C. A. work not only in assisting in the physical and mental development of men but also in emphasizing the primary importance of good men.
Both Mr. Beardsley in his remarks and F. H. Burt, president of the Institute and Training School of Chicago, in his address on "The Young Men's Christian Association and the Educational Institution" referred to the desirability and ultimate necessity of a Y. M. C.A. building on the campus of the University of Kansas.
Gov. W. R. Stubbs gave a vigorous address on what the Y. M. C. A. had meant to the community and to him individually.
With the subject, "The Outreach of the Young Men's Christian Association," Fred B. Smith, international religious work secretary, told of the many ways in which the organization is promoting the higher wellbeing of mankind.
SUNDAYAFTERNOON MEETING.
Every University man is urged to avail himself of the opportunity to hear the address on "Sins that Kill" in Robinson gymnasium at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon by Fred B. Smith, of New York, who is heralded as "the greatest speaker to men in America today." Music will be furnished by the University band and the Baker quartet. Assisted by the regular Y. M. C. A. convention delegates it is expected that the congregational singing will surpass anything heard in Lawrence since the Bryan meeting last February.
A women's meeting will be held at the same hour in the Presbyterian church which will be addressed by Cecil B. Gates, of Kansas City.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1909
The papers of the state—that is, the little papers in the small towns where rumors are given more credence than facts have been making much ado over the alleged fact that the University is a rich man's school. A number of articles have appeared which pictures the University as a place where idle, gilded youths, profligates, a crowd of "spenders" waste their time. As most of the students here come from the small towns and rural communities of the state, these misleading articles seem a reflection upon the citizenship of Kansas. The fact that seventy two per cent. of the students are making their way through school by following fifty different avocations shows that the "spenders" here at least make the money that they spend Pretty thrifty bunch of students isn't it, that go to school, spend the fabulous sums of money they are reputed to spend, and then make their own money?
What is most needed at the present in the University is some enthusiasm among the student body. Just now, when the future of the University is in the hands of the legislature's whims, the students should throw off the lethargy which seems to cover them. Nearly all have some friends in the legislature. Write to them at least, and if it is possible go to Topeka and visit them. Before next Friday the students should wake up. The apathy that now prevails can be conducive to nothing but failure—and think what a failure this year means for the University and higher education in Kansas.
Early next week the basketball team invades, for the first time this season, the territory of their rivals in the southern section of the conference. The team leaves Lawrence with a wonderful record of clean victories behind it and the games, no matter who wins, are sure to be clean and hard fought. Washington University has a great basketball team. They have won two games from Missouri this year and will fight it out with Kansas for the championship of the southern division. Washington and Kansas have always been honorable rivals and may the best team win. ___
It is confidently expected
that the number of new students enrolling in the University this week and next will be more than enough to offset the annual hegira which will set in next week as a result of weak eyes and debilitated constitutions superinduced by too great devotion to the midnight oil.
The students of Manhattan gave a dollar each to take the legislature to Manhattan, but as most of the students here are supporting themselves while in school it was not thought just to burden them with such an expense. The wealthy students at Manhattan can well afford such things.

Y. W. C. A. Children's Party.
About one hundred girls enjoyed a "Children's Party" held Friday evening in Snow Hall under the direction of the Y. W. C.A. Each one was in the costume of a child and nearly half of the number represented boys. Miss Maude Carey as "Sis Hopkins" was one of the prominent characters. The girls indulged in such children's games as "Drop the handkerchief" and "London bridge is falling down." Ice cream was served during the evening.

President Wheeler says Kaneko Has Vivid Imagination.
President Benjamin Wheeler of California University has come with a denial of the report that Kaneko, a Japanese student at California, was attacked and beaten by the white students.
President Wheeler avers that the story was made up by Kaneko and has no foundation in fact. The Japanese boy is not sorry that he drew on his fertile imagination to such an extent as to declare that he was insulted, humiliated and beaten severely.
Kaneko was a student here at the University four years ago. While here he was respected as a young man of intelligence and gentlemanly qualities. He earned a part of his way conducting a paper route.

The magazine is a very famous one, being distinctive as one of the first successful magazines published in England. The first number was published in 1731 by F. Jeffries, and the publication was continued later by Edward Cave. The last number appeared in 1822. Many noted literary men were connected with the magazine at different times. Dr. Samuel Johnson did considerable work for it. Miss Watson will place the volumes where they can be used in the English and literature courses.

GRENFELL HERE WEDNESDAY
FAMOUS MARINER MISSIONARY TO LECTURE IN GYMNASIUM.
His Life Work Has Been Among Fishermen of Labrador and Newfoundland.
Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell, the famous mariner missionary, will give his celebrated illustrated lecture on Newfoundland and Labrador, at eight o'clock next Wednesday evening in Robinson gymnasium.
Dr. Grenfell has for several years been among the deep sea fishermen of the northeast coasts aiding in whatever way he could the humble fisherfolk. He has established five free hospitals, an orphanage, and a hospital ship to ply along the 2,000 miles of barren coast. The doctor runs his ship from settlement to settlement attending to the fishermen. When ice packs impede his ships he travels overland with dog-teams.
The Review of Reviews recently devoted some five pages to the work being done by the noted missionary and the Outlook has several times written up his life. Describing the man The Outlook said, "He is a surgeon, master mariner, magistrate, agent of Lloyds in running down the rascals who wreck their vessels for the insurance, manager of a string of cooperative stores and general opponent of fraud and oppression.
The lecture Wednesday night will be accompanied by stereoptican slides illustrating some phases of Dr. Grenfell's life work. The views show icebergs, ice packs, wrecks on the coast, reindeer, snow scenes and the mode of life of the fishermen.
While at the University Dr. Grenfell will speak in chapel.

GREAT MARINER HERETOMORROW
DR. GRENFELL WILL GIVE LECTURE IN GYMNASIUM.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS. FEBRUARY 9, 1969
The lecture of Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell in Robinson Gymnasium tomorrow evening at 8:00 will be one of the best and most unique events at the University this year. It is expected that the crowd will fill the gymnasium to the limit.
The Fame of the Labrador Missionary Spreading Rapidly—All Press Notices Are Flattering.
In his own section of the country, in England and in the east Dr. Grenfell is a famous and admired man. He is less known in the west but since he has been the subject of several books by Norman Duncan his fame has considerably spread. Both Norman Duncan and Robert Kennedy Duncan are close friends of the Labrador mariner and missionary.
Dr. Grenfell is making an extensive lecture tour through the United States and the press notices of him are always very flattering. At Chicago University last week a large crowd heard him speak and the Chicago Daily Maroon said: "Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell addressed a large audience last night in Mandell Hall on his work in Labrador. The speaker held the attention of the audience by numerous highly interesting incidents of his work. Dr. Grenfell said that he had adopted seven abandoned children and is now educating them. His oldest girl is a graduate from Wellesley, and is now studying domestic economy. His son is at Boston Tech. Both are preparing to return to Labrador to teach."
Dr. Grenfell's slides illustrate scenes from the wild coasts of Labrador and Newfoundland and from the dangerous life of the deep sea fishermen. Dr. Grenfell will speak in chapel Thursday morning.

PROFESSOR WEBSTER GAVE FIRST LECTURE.
Professor A. G. Webster of Clark University, Worcester, Massachusetts, delivered the first of his lectures under the auspices of the Sigma Xi society in Fraser Hall at 4:30 yesterday afternoon in the chapel. With the subject "The Creed of a Scientist" he began his address by quoting the scripture text, "Canst thou by searching find out God." He sketched the various attempts which men have made since the beginning of history to search out knowledge. The modern experimental method of science was founded by Gallileo says Dr. Webster. For many generations ridiculous arguments and antagonism often from religious enthusiasts were brought against the efforts of science. This attribute has so largely changed that nowadays the interests of science are admitted to be international and are protected even in time of war. After mentioning some of the modern problems which science is working out, Professor Webster closed by stating his creed as a scientist. He believes that this world is subject to law and is making progress. Mar may improve himself without limit and life is very really worth living.
The Democratic club of the University will meet in Green hall, Friday at 12:15, to make arrangements for the banquet at Topeka, Feb. 22.

The players are all in excellent physical condition. Coach Allen thinks they are the best squad of college basket ball men ever assembled in the Missouri Valley. He is still hopeful of having an ever-victorious team. It is his opinion that Kansas can win the final games to be played here the last of the month, but he is a little afraid of one of the games in St. Louis.
This morning the Jayhawker basket-ball team left for its eastern trip, Seven players, Woodward (captain), Martindell, Johnson, McCune, Long, Heizer and Bergen, besides Manager Lansdon, Trainer Carl Rouse, and Coach "Phog" Allen are taking the trip.
Tomorrow night the series with Washington University will be begun. This is considered by basket-ball fans as the most important series in the southern division. Should the Kansans break even with the Washington team in St. Louis they will have to win both games here February 20 and 22. Manager Lansdon has promised Coach Allen that he will not consent to a St. Louis official for the present series.
Tonight the Warrensburg Normal team will be played at Warrenslburg. The Jayhawkers are expecting to take this game in a walk. The Normalites have not been playing fast ball this year.
Friday and Saturday night the Jayhawkers will meet the Tigers for the last time this season. They are confident of winning at least one of the two games and expect to win both of them.
Webster Talked in Chapel.
Prof. A. G. Webster, of Clark University, who is lecturing at the University under the auspices of Sigma Xi, made a short talk in chapel this morning. He said that on this, his first, visit to the middle West he was impressed by the number of people who are bound to get an education. This condition is not so largely found in the more expensive universities of the East.
TENNIS PLAYERS PRACTICE.
Every Saturday the Two Squads Work in Gymnasium.
The University tennis players have been divided into two squads and are having regular practice on the gymnasium courts every Saturday. One squad composed of Watson, Farnsworth, Bigelow and Purton play Saturday morning from ten until twelve. The other players, Seddon, Leland, Wood, Lee and Richardson, play from one until three in the afternoon.
The spring schedule will be made out soon, and another practice day decided upon. The squad also will meet soon for the election of a captain.
Y. M. CONVENTION WAS A SUCCESS
The state Y. M. C. A. convention closed Sunday evening after one of the most successful sessions in its history. The men's mass meeting Sunday afternoon filled Robinson gymnasium. The University band gave several selections of sacred music and Fred B. Smith of New York made a vigorous and effective address on "Sins that Kill." The evening services in the different churches were addressed by visiting Y. M. C. A. workers. Secretary Weatherford spoke especially to college students at the Presbyterian church. Many of the delegates from the high schools of the state were shown about the University Friday and Saturday and interested to come here for their future education.
Professor Bryant Returns.
Prof. F. E. Bryant has returned to the University and resumed his instruction in the English Department after a half year's graduate work in Harvard University. Prof. Bryant also spent some time last summer in investigation in the British Museum, London and Bodleain Library, Oxford.
There is More Than One Way. "A hundred ways to make your way through school"is the subject on which Adolph Ziefle will speak at Myers Hall at 6:45 Thursday night. It is said Mr. Ziefle made a hit at Michigan with this lecture.
Fraternity Pledges.
Forest Howard, of Arkansas City, has pledged to Sigma Alpha Epsilon. The Sigma Nus have pledged Charles Milton, of Dodge City, and Joseph Owen Moffett, of Peabody, Kansas.
Professor W. H.Carruth will give a talk of the philosophy of Friedeick Nietzsche at a meeting of a newly organized club of the Beta house tomorrow night.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1909
There is no denying that the folks up at the Agricultural College made a hit when they entertained the Kansas statesmen at Manhattan, but there is one way in which they wasted a lot of energy. Of course not many of the visitors were known personally to the students on the entertainment committee. They judged each one's influence in the legislature by his pompousness of bearing, with the result that janitors were confused with senators, and many a touching appeal for increased appropriations was poured into the shelllike ear of the first assistant chief superintendent of ventilation. A like misdirection of good chin-music might be avoided by appointing as megaphone man some Topeka newspaper man who has been "doing" the state house, when the faculty starts on its little seeing-thelegislature tour Friday morning.
"Why is it necessary for K. U. publications to insist that snobbishness is unknown there?" College Life, College of Emporia. Well we are not sure that we get the full import of the question, but we can answer it. It is necessary because of envy and jealousies that are indulged in in certain parts of the state by persons who should not have the audacity to tarnish the fair name of the citizenship of the state by calling themselves citizens. It is usually the man who knows that he should be snobbed that is always crying snob at some one else. That cry never comes from the great; it always emanates from the puny and is directed at the mighty. The man or woman who is snobbed at the state University may expect to be snobbed wherever he goes. If their inferiorities are so great, their frailties so many that the democratic atmosphere of this school will not cover them they are to be pitied but not condoled.
Down at Columbia a ladies' club has undertaken to investigate the grocers of the town with a view to insuring a better quality of food in the student boarding houses. What is needed here in Kansas is not so much proceedings against the grocers as measures for the financial relief of students who have to live at boarding houses.
The Baker Orange is busy these days rallying the Methodist hosts to stand up in favor of football at the Baldwin school. This football weather is expected to have a great influence in getting the sport reinstated.

Gymnasium Floors Closed.
The basbetball court and running track will be closed until Saturday. Chairs are arranged upon these floors and as the basketball team has left on its trip the athletic management does not feel it can afford to remove and replace them before Friday's exercises. The freshmen team will probably practice at the skating rink for it's game Saturday.

New Zoology Specimens.
Eighty-two specimens of frogs snakes and lizards found in Texas have been received by the Zoology department from Prof. J. K. Strecker of Baylor University at Waco, Texas. The spade foot toads and an eight foot coral snake are the most distinctive of the collection but the whole assortment makes a useful addition to the specimens of the department. They have been placed on exhibition in the main zoological laboratory.
Many Foreign Students.
Examination of the registration of foreign students in American colleges shows interesting results. The Science Magazine makes the following statement: Harvard leads in Canadian students, Pennsylvania in those from Central America, Cuba, Brazil, Colombia, Great Britain and Ireland, Holland, Australia and New Zealand; Missonri in those from Mexico; Cornell in those from Argentine Republic and China; Columbia in those from Germany, Russia and Japan; California in those from India.
Local Alpha Sigma Installed as Nu Sigma Nu.
NEW NATIONAL FRATERNITY
Saturday night at the Eldridge House, the Beta Theta chapter of the national, honorary medical fraternity, Nu SigmaNu, was installed, taking over the members of the local honorary fraternity, Alpha Sigma. The local society petitioned the Nu SigmaNu fraternity for admission at the national convention which met in Toronto, Canada last November. After an investigation of the standing of the University Medical School, the charter was granted. Dr. H. J. Prentis and Dr. A. A. Crowe, both of the Iowa Medical school, and Dr. M. T. Sudler of the medical school in the University had charge of the installation. After the ceremonies a banquet was given.
The Alpha Sigma fraternity was organized here three years ago as an honor fraternity, in the local medical school. E. T. Gibson was elected president of the new chapter Saturday night. The members are: E. T. Gibson, Kansas City, Kas; Robert VanAtta, Ernest Mitchener, Creit Smith, Beloit; Mark Bramley, Frankfort; H. G. Norton, R. D.

Harvard Clothes in 1786.
"Voted, That it is recommended, that the Freshmen, who shall be admitted into the University the present year, before the end of the Summer Vacation, be provided with coats of blue grey, being a mixture of deep blue and white wool, as nearly as may be, $ \frac{7}{8} $ of the blue, and $ \frac{1}{4} $ of the white, or if that cannot conveniently be obtained, of a dark blue colour, with waistcoats & breeches of the same colour, or of a straw colour. That, when they shall procure clothes, afterwards, and while undergraduates, their coats shall be of the colour first mentioned, & their waistcoats & breeches of the same colour, or of a straw colour.
"Whereas, the enjoining of an uniform colour, in the clothing of the Undergraduates, and prohibiting certain species of materials, in their apparel, will have a great tendency to lower the expense of dress, while, at the same time, the appearance will be more academical:
The Harvard corporation in 1786 prescribed the following rules for the wearing apparel of the students:
"That the Seniors and Juniors wear their black gowns on all public occasions, & whenever they shall publicly proclaim in the Chapel. That no Undergraduate, to whom these injunctions may extend, be permitted to appear within the limits of the College, or town of Cambridge, in any other dress than is before described, unless he has on a night gown, or an outside garment be necessary over his coat. That no part of the dress of the Undergraduates be made of silk:- and that it be recommended to them, to clothe themselves in home manufacture, as far as may be." [Independent Chronicle, 1786.]
Orchestra to Play Friday.
The University Orchestra will play in chapel Friday, when the legislators visit the University. The Orchestra is practicing steadily for the winter concert which will be given early in March.

A SUFFRAGE PETITION.
Chancellor Would Let Women Choose Presidential Electors.
Friday a petition was circulated among the faculty, asking Governor Stubbs to send a message to the legislature,asking favorable action on the bill giving women the right to vote for presidential electors. This bill comes up before the legislature the last of this week. This is the only action the state legislature can pass upon in giving the women of the state equal suffrage.
The right of women to vote in state elections could come only through an amendment to the state constitution. The petition was signed by 86 faculty members, including all the women, and by Chancellor Strong. Governor Stubbs will send the message.
MANHATTAN KEEPS SILENT.
No Word Comes from K. S. A. C. in Regard to Invitation.
No word has as yet been received from Manhattan as to whether or not the invitation which was sent to the student body and the faculty will or will not be accepted. The telegram inviting the members of the Agricultural college to visit the University was sent last Thursday and it was supposed the students of the school would make a decision at their assembly services Saturday morning.
Several members of the faculty who wrote personal letters of invitation to members of the faculty at Manhattan have received letters of regret.
2,167 is Enrollment.
The enrollment early this afternoon had reached 2,167. The mark for the year will not exceed this mark to a great extent.
The annual anniversary party of the Sig Alph fraternity will be held Friday night in F.A. A. hall.
NOT A SCHOOL OF SNOBBISHNESS
Under the head "Foolish Talk of Snobbishness" the Topeka Capital in its editorial column this morning says—
"The Agricultural college at Manhattan has an army of militant friends, and they have rallied about its standard during the discussion of the continuance of the engineering department. That is commendable, and the college is honored in the friends it has. But there are just a few overzealous champions of the college who add abuse of another great institution of Kansas—the University—to their support of the Agricultural college. That is not creditable to them. It is not necessary that the University should be dragged down in order that the college at Manhattan should be kept up. There is room for both, and Kansas needs both, each for its own work. Some of these overzealous partisans accuse the University of snobishness, of being the institution of "city-bred" youths, the "rich man's sons," and as representing a spirit of contempt for democracy.
And this in Kansas! "Tommy rot" seems the proper word for such misrepresentation of the big Kansas school at Lawrence, one-half of whose male students earn either their full way or a good part of it by their labor. Think of the democratic University of Francis H. Snow and of his successor, Frank Strong, and their associates, W. H. Carruth, "Uncle Jimmy" Green and the whole body, for that matter, of the Lawrence faculty, set down as an institution of snobs! The charge could come only from one ignorant of the University, or who regards education itself as tantamount to snobbishness.
"It is filling its place, nevertheless, and doing its work. Its graduates are found in every community and it has given Kansas a number of its present leaders in public and private life. They are not "snobs." The term is not to be applied to Attorney General Fred Jackson, to Governor Herbert Hadley, of Missouri, to United States Senator Borah of Idaho (whom the Springfield Republican's correspondent at Washington names as the coming leader of the increasing group of 'radicals' in the Senate), all of whom are graduates of the University of Kansas. The only Kansas Congressman who has ever held the chairmanship of a leading committee of the House is a graduate of the University. In public service as well as in commercial life and the professions, the University is a growing force in the State and beyond, through the successes of its sons."
FIRST TRYOUT MONDAY.
Debating Council Decides on New Debate Tryout.
At a meeting of the Debating Council held this afternoon, it was decided to hold both the preliminary tryouts for the Colorado and Missouri debates next Monday evening, February 15, at 7:15 in Room 15, Fraser Hall.
If there are more than twelve contestants, a squad of ten men will be chosen at that time, from which five men will be picked in a second tryout Thursday evening, February 18. If there are not more than twelve contestants, the five men will be chosen Monday night and the second tryout will be dispensed with. Of these five the men ranking highest will be given their choice in order of their rank of the team on which they will debate.
The question for debate is the same with both schools—Resolved, That the United States should encourage a merchant marine by bounties and subsidies. Kansas has the affirmative with Missouri and the negative with Colorado.
Michigan Back in the Fold.
Michigan University will resume athletic relations with Minnesota next fall and this event marks the end of the long struggle made by Michigan to gain a position in Eastern athletics and remain independent of the western conferences. Michigan will probably petition for her former place in the conference before long.

KANSAS LOST FIRST GAME IN ST.LOUIS LAST NIGHT.
Won from Warrensburg Tuesday by Score of 37 to 14-Washington again Tonight.
Last night the Kansas basket ball team lost its first game of the season in St. Louis to the strong Washington University five by a score of 28 to 26. The game was not a good exhibition of fast basket ball. The team work of the players was good in spots and ragged in others. The defeat of Kansas was due to the hard luck the Jayhawker forwards experienced in locating the basket.
In the second half the Washington five spurted up and overtook the Jayhawkers and in the last minute of play scored the goal which won them the game. The final score was 28 to 26.
In the first half the Jayhawkers played the Washington aggregation off their feet. They outplayed them in team work, in fact in every department of the game except in throwing baskets. With the great form which the Kansans showed in the initial half, they had a chance to secure a lead sufficient to win the game, but luck was against them and the half ended with the score 14 to 11 in favor of Kansas.
The game was not a rough one there being but two fouls made by each team. The Jayhawker free thrower was unable to locate the basket, while the Washington player made a perfect score.
In the first half McCune and Long played forwards, Heizer, center, and Martindell and Woodward guards. With the beginning of the second half Bergen was put in at center. Heizer was switched to Martindell's place and Johnson went in at forward for McCune.
Tonight the Jayhawkers will play Washington again. Manager Lansdon refused to play the game with a St. Louis official, so Ashley of the K. C. A. C. will officiate tonight.
Tuesday night the Jayhawkers defeated the Warrensburg Normal team 37 to 14. The game was fast and clean, the Kansans making but one foul and the Normalites fourteen.
The Kansas team played a great defensive game with no one starring. The team work of the Kansans showed much improvement over that exhibited against the Tigers last week.

Every student in the University should realize the importance tomorrow of coming out and showing just what the great institution here has. The University does not want to show more than it has, NOR DOES IT WANT TO SHOW LESS THAN IT HAS.
It has over two thousand students. IT HAS A RIGHT TO EXPECT THAT EVERY ONE OF THESE WILL BE OUT. The University of Kansas depends upon the Legislature for its support. It is only fair to the Legislature that they have an opportunity to see all the students on the campus tomorrow. Many of the students have friends in the Legislature. Many of the members of the Legislature have friends in the University. When the members of these two bodies meet there should be some regular "old home" reunions.
A detailed story of the order of tomorrow's exercises is published in today's Kansan. READ IT AND UNDERSTAND JUST WHAT PART YOU ARE TO PLAY.
TOMORROW THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS EXPECTS EVERY ONE TO DO HIS DUTY.

At present the problem is concerned with the properties of ether under various conditions. The structure of an atom and the possible universal importance of electrons in the construction of all matter will be a source of future scientific study.

contact with the men on their ships, by healing their bodies and otherwise ministering to their physical needs. To overthrow the influence of grog ships among fishing fleets, Dr. Greenfell sold tobacco at cost from his ship to the fishermen, who thus did not care to go to the ships where they were tempted with liquor. He is thoroughly happy in his consecrated life and notwithstanding the struggles guarantees the same to all who live the life of true service.
ARRANGEMENTS ARE PERFECTED
PROGRAM FOR MEMORIAL SERVICE IS MADE OUT.
The Legislature, local G. A.R., Manhattan Students, and the University to Take Part.
The final arrangements for the Lincoln centenary celebration to take place tomorrow on Mount Oread have been made and the program has been perfected. Both branches of the Legislature, the local G.A.R., a representative aggregation of Manhattan students, many of the citizens of Lawrence, visitors from over Kansas, and the faculty and students of the University will take part in the appropriate ceremonies.
The members of the legislature will arrive in Lawrence over the Union Pacific from Topeka at 9:15 a.m. They will immediately enter their carriages and be conveyed to the University. They will be greeted at Lee street just above Myers Hall by the students.
The entire student body will be lined up tomorrow at 9:30 on both sides of the street from Snow Hall to Myers Hall. The legislators will pass through the double line and proceed to Snow Hall where they will descend from the vehicles. In the mean time the students will proceed to Robinson Gymnasium led by the University band. The senior class will precede followed by the Juniors, Sophores, and Freshmen in order.
As soon as the students are seated in the gymnasium the band will return to Snow Hall and accompany the legislature to the scene of the memorial exercises. That done the band will return a second time and usher in the assembled veterans of the Civil War.
As soon as the regular chapel services are finished the Chancellor will turn the services over to the G.A.R. The oration of the day will be delivered by Willis Gleed, of Topeka, a member of the board of regents.
The exercises in the gymnasium will be ended at 11:15 and until 1:15 the legislature will visit the different buildings on the campus and inspect the needs of the University.
From 1:15 until 3:30 the members of the legislature and other visitors will be entertained at dinner in the main floor of the gymnasium. From 3:30 to 4:15 the legislature will inspect the practical work being done in the University in teaching students the useful things of life. An organ recital in Fraser Hall, and the the picture exhibit in the museum building will occupy the attention of the visitors un-

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1909
Tomorrow the legislature for the first time will be the guests of the State University. It is only fitting that they should visit here and at the sister school at Manhattan in order that they may provide for the advancement of the two schools with a greater knowledge of what each requires. It is also to the advantage of both institutions that the legislature visit the schools and carry to their homes in all sections of the state when they go the glories of the higher educational institutions of the state. The state legislature represents the people of Kansas and we venture there are not three more representative institutions than the legislature, the University and the Agricultural College. The University not only owes but will give to the legislature one of the greatest demonstrations of genuine Kansas hospitality they have ever enjoyed when they arrive tomorrow.
The visit of such men as Dr. Grenfell to the University and the stories he tells of his wonderful work in Labrador should have a great effect on vitalizing the work of education. It brings a realization that there is still a great work to be done in the uplifting of the human race and that it is to be done by the educated class. His experience teaches that, despite the fact that there are some questions of dead mythology to be settled and all are not agreed as to the tenets of a decadent, mediaeval theology, there are still grounds to hope for the material betterment of the welfare of the human race. It demonstrated that organization of society directed by the knowledge of science is the solution of many problems that impractical people usually try to solve by words of the mouth, rather than by deeds of the brain and hand.
A new paper is soon to be started at Manhattan by the students in the printing course. The publication will be known as "The Kansas Aggie." That good old name "Aggie" is all right after all and the Manhattan people are sticking pretty close to it. And yet less than a brief year ago the students and faculty were agitating to drop the name and to call themselves The Kansas State College.
FAVORS UNIFORM APPROPRIATIONS
If any change in existing laws is made affecting the University of Missouri, it ought to be in the direction of a permanent endowment, removing from the institution the constant fear of vicious "slaps." So long as the institution is at the mercy of legislators who consider it an appropriate subject for "slaps," so long will its usefulness be curtailed. The people of the State are not in favor of any such policy.
A distinguished Democratic governor, Hon. Thomas T. Crittenden, made this fine epigram in one of his messages: "Parsimony toward education is liberality toward crime," or words to that effect. This is pre-eminently true in the matter of higher education. The State University should be placed beyond the caprice of legislators with grudges up their sleeves and should be raised out of its condition of biennial mendicancy. Instead of cutting down its revenue its income should be increased and assured, as has been done in many other states. If retrenchment is necessary in the conduct of the State's finances, the last victim of the economy should be the higher institutions of learning. Kansas City Journal.

AMERICAN ART IS INITIATIVE
THE PAINTERS NO LONGER FOL LOW EUROPEAN MODELS.
Pictures Depicting Stricly American Art Shown in the Big Collection in the Museum.
"There is no better collection of paintings in the Chicago Art Institute thn we have right here in this exhibit," was Prof. W.A. Griffith's comment on the art exhibit yesterday. "Each picture that we have has been passed upon by a jury of ten or twelve old exhibitors and experienced painters."
Until recently, American painters have been content to imitate rather than create. They have been followers of the great painters of Europe. But in the United States there are new ideas and new conditions. To express these ideas and those things that are American, a new technique is required. This is the aim of the younger school of American painters.
Birge Harrison is one of these new painters. He is said to be the discoverer of the charm and picturesqueness of New York's streets. He has traveled in all parts of the world but it is in New York that he produces his best pictures. He is a creator rather than an imitator. One of his best New York scenes, 'Bryant Park at evening" is in the exhibit here.
John Sloan gives a typical scene in New York in "The Haymarket, Sixth Ave." The poor washerwoman, the ragged urchin and his hoop, the dance hall, the bald-headed, red faced doorkeeper and the gaily attired young ladies, all show that the scene is in the "Bowery" district. "Pennsylvania Excavations," by George Bellows shows the industrial side of New York. Joseph Pennell is represented by two of his best etchings of New York scenes, "Park Row" and "Forty-second Street."
"Two of the greatest pictures in this collection," said Prof. Griffith, "are the 'Mill Team' and 'Winter on the Deleware', both by E.W.Redfield who has taken almost every prize that can be taken in the United States." He is a painter who sees the truth and then paints it fearlessly and faithfully. His work is characterized by lack of detail and texture.
Visits Good for Appropriations.
Prof. R. E. Bassett of the Romance languages department was a member of the faculty of the University of Missouri at the time the legislature of that state made its first visit to Columbia. The era of liberal appropriations for the University, he says, dates from that time. The visit of the legislature to Columbia is now an annual event, and as the statesmen learn more about the institution their liberality toward it grows.

The University of Bologna in 1237 gave the following reasons for barring women from the University: "Whereas, woman is the foundation of sin—the weapon of the devil—the cause of man's banishment from Paradise—for these reasons all associations with her are to be diligently avoided.

GRENFELL LECTURED.
Many Heard About His Work Among Labrador Fishermen.
Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell, the famous mariner and surgeon, gave his lecture on Labrador last night before a large audience in the gymnasium. The lecture was illustrated by lantern slides, showing the life and conditions of the people in Labrador, with whom Dr. Grenfell has been working for seventeen years.
In introducing the lecture Dr. Grenfell explained how he came to be in Labrador. He was led to believe, after hearing Dwight L. Moody preach in London, that every individual should during his life contribute something to the welfare of the world. And when he was offered his choice between practicing surgery in London or living among the deep sea fishermen, he chose the latter course, believing as he says, "if you heal a man's soul you have done a more worthy deed than healing his body."
Labrador is a country about which comparatively little is known. The climate is extremely cold and the only industry in which the people engage is fishing. The interior of the country is practically uninhabited, while Esquimaux live along the northern coast. The people have almost always been poverty stricken and it has been part of Dr. Grenfell's work to raise the economic standard of the country. This he has accomplished in some degree by establishing cooperative stores, where the people become their own traders. The education of the people is along industrial lines only.
The greatest work Dr. Grenfell has done for the fishermen is the establishment of five hospitals along the coast. The conditions in the land have encouraged various forms of disease, especially tuberculosis. By scientific surgery Dr. Grenfell has accomplished a reformation in improving the health of the people. A great fight has been made against the
liquor traffic with the result that an international law has been passed prohibiting the sale of liquor on the high seas. At the close Dr. Grenfell gave a vivid relation of his experience in being floated out to sea on a cake of frozen snow.
ARRANGEMENTS ARE PERFECTED.

WHEN VOTES SOLD FOR 25 DOLLARS
J. W. Breidenthal, of Kansas City, Kansas, bank commissioner of Kansas during the administration of J. W. Leedy, addressed the Good Government club Tuesday evening at the Phi Delt house on the subject of a bank guaranty law. Mr. Breidenthal reviewed the history of the attempts that have been made to pass a law in this state and devoted some time to a discussion of the present law. He told how the law of 1898 was defeated by two votes and of an instance where bankers bought the votes of two members for twenty-five dollars apiece. He gave the names of the public servants who sold their votes and of the purchasers. One of the votes was bought for a $25 check and then after the goods were delivered, the banker wired to Wichita to stop payment on the check.
The club has elected to membership Harvey Starbuck, Plainville; Harold Armsby, Council Grove; Joseph Murray, Lawrence; Carl Eddy, Colby; Carrol Lord, Dodge City; Edwin Brookens, Smith Center; and Edgar Markham, Washington.

LINCOLN MEMORIAL SERVICES A GRAND SUCCESS.
Four Hundred Came Down From Topeka.—3,500 Heard Willis Gleed's Classic Oration.
The largest crowd ever assembled in Robinson gymnasium attended the Lincoln memorial services yesterday. That statement alone describes the success of the attempt to fittingly commemorate the 100 anniversary of the Civil war president's birth. It is safe to say that west of the Mississippi there were no such exercises, attended by such a representative and influential body of men and women as took place on Mt. Oread yesterday.
The members of one of the most progressive legislatures Kansas ever had, most of the state officers of the commonwealth, members of the faculty and student body of the great Agricultural school, the local veterans of the fierce intersectional conflict, friends of the University from all over the state and nearly every one of the 2,167 students of the University took part in the services.
The members of the legislature and their wives and daughters, the state officers and the clerks and stenographers in all branches of the state service in Topeka came to Lawrence yesterday morning on a special train over the Union Pacific. The special carried 394 Topeka visitors. Shortly after ten o'clock the long line of automobiles, cabs, carriages and private vehicles of all kinds arrived on Mt. Oread coming up Oread ave. from the north. At the head of Lee street the students of the University were lined up on either side of the street and through this double line the visitors passed. The guests alighted on the steps of Snow hall and refreshed themselves there. As soon as all the carriages had passed through the long lines the students, led by the band, marched into Robinson gymnasium. After the students were seated the legislators, greeted with lusty cheers, entered the hall and took their place on the platform. Assembled together at the front was a great democratic body of lawmakers, chosen by a great democratic people and facing a democratic student body from the democratic homes

The Kansas Alpha chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon gave its Anniversary Spring party at the Fraternal Aid hall last night. The room was decorated in the fraternity colors of purple and old gold, the lighting effect being in the same colors. The fraternity emblem with unique lighting effects was hung in the west end of the hall.
Col. and Mrs. William A. Harris, who were to have been the guests of honor and lead the grand march were unavoidably detained in Chicago and the honor fell upon Mr. and Mrs. Earl Gafford, of Oak Hill. Kans.
Promptly at 9 o'clock the receiving line formed. Marie Sinclair, Marianne Sapp, Grace Warner, Fred Haddock, Fred Apt and H.C.Waters constituted the receiving party.
Kelley's orchestra, of Kansas City furnished the music for twenty two dances and two extras and each set received from one to three encores. The programs were beautiful. They were in booklet form, with about eight leaves and bound in purple silk, with the fraternity seal in copper on the back.
At 10:30 o'clock, during the sixteenth and seventeenth dances, the guests repaired to the lunch room, where an extravagant three-course luncheon was served. The dining hall was also profusely decorated in the fraternity colors.
The out of town guests were: Mrs. Dr. GeorgeBellows, Mrs.J. B.Newbold, Miss Harriett Bales, Misses Marie and Margaret Haddock, Miss Cyrene McHatton, Miss Murphy, of Kansas City; Miss Sara Taft, Miss Nannie Madden, Miss Addeler, and Mrs.F.B.

JAYHAWKERS CAPTURED TWO
KANSAS 24, MISSOURI 19; KANSAS 23, WASHINGTON, 18.
Both Games Were Hard Fought. Kansas on High Road to Southern Championship.
Early in the second half "Tommy" Johnson put the Kansans three points in the van with a sensational field goal and a free throw. Till the end of the conflict Kansas maintained this lead adding two additional points at the very end of the game.
Yesterday evening in Columbia the Jayhawkers defeated Missouri for the third consecutive time this season by the score of 24 to 19. From the start neither contestant held a material advantage and the first half ended with ten points credited to each team.
Both teams played fierce basbetball but the Tigers, anxious to humble Kansas in Missouri territory, played the fiercest game and earned fourteen fouls before time was called. Kansas was caught fouling only four times.
Tonight Kansas and Missouri meet for the last time this year.
The Jayhawker basketball team avenged itself against the Washington University five in St. Louis Thursday night by winning the game 23 to 18.
The game from the start was a whirlwind affair,neither team being able to score for several minutes of play. The Jayhawkers got the best of the argument early in the game and kept the lead until the finish.
The sting of defeat still smarting from the first game with the Washington five, spurred the Kansans to such a pitch that they fought harder and faster than they ever did before. Every man on the Kansas team played a star game. The team work of the Kansans was almost perfect. The small court upon which the game was played somewhat handicapped the Jayhawkers in the first game, but it bothered them little in the second one.
Lowman of Missouri refereed the game.
The score for the Missouri game:

HOW WILL THE PROBLEM BE DEALT WITH.
Now that the legislature has come and gone, the University and the Agricultural College stand in the same relation to each other that existed before the statesmen's two junketing trips, and everything is as it was before, except that the people at the two institutions are some three or four thousand dollars lighter in pocket. Perhaps it was money well spent. Seeing the state's two biggest schools was surely of some educational value to the law makers, although all they had a chance to see was the material equipment which, though it is an impressive enough sight, gives little idea of what the schools really are and what they do. It is perhaps too much to expect that what the legislators have seen will enable them to deal with the problem of higher education in the state as it needs to be dealt with. It is too much to expect that the courage, foresight, and skill necessary to mold the entire educational scheme of the state into one vast university system can be found in any body of men who have not become expert through years of study of educational problems. Both the University and the Agricultural College confidently expect the present legislature to grant substantially all in the way of appropriations that has been asked. But the greater problem will remain untouched, and the two schools will continue in more or less wasteful competition with each other instead of engaging in close and harmonious cooperation for the best service of the commonwealth This state of affairs cannot but be regretted by every friend o education and of Kansas, when he reflects how easily our educational system could be made like that of Wisconsin, which through actual practice has been found to solve the problem on the maximum of service to the state for the minimum of cost.
The student body of the University lined up along the drive to receive the guests yesterday morning made an inspiring spectacle, and one which rather awed even some members of the faculty, who considered themselves familiar with the appearance of the student body and did not suppose they would make such a magnificent showing on parade. It is to be hoped that an equally favorable impression was made on the visitors, for it is the cheering thousands who greeted them yesterday that compose the University, and not the structures of brick and stone that crown Mount Oread. That they are dealing not with a vague abstraction but with the very flesh and blood of the state when they take up the problems of the University must have been impressed upon the minds of the legislators as they passed between the welcoming lines and later as they saw the gymnasium filled to overflowing with students at the Lincoln memorial services.

AIDS FARMERS.
Entomological Department Developes Alfalfa.
The entomological department especially attracted the attention of some of the legislators because of the educative work begun by it more than ten years since by which the alfalfa growers were taught how to largely increase the productivity of their fields. The problem was how to destroy the eggs of the grasshoppers which were almost destroying the alfalfa, and yet maintain the life of the plant. As it was known that the long tap-root of the alfalfa plant could be chopped and split at the top without killing the plant, the farmers were urged to disturb the soil of their alfalfa fields with the disc harrow. Many were influenced to do this with favorable results. Not only were the grasshopper eggs destroyed but the cultivation itself very materially increased the yield of the alfalfa.
In these experiments Professor Hunter and advanced students in his department operated in the field of the farmer and entered into active cooperation with him. This is only one example of the working of the plan inaugurated many years since by the University by which the entomological department has definitely contributed its information for the benefit of the farmer and worked with him on the problems which confronted them. This plan has come to be recognized as one of the most successful ways of introducing such work to the farmers.
Studying Road Conditions.
W. E. Emmett, a civil engineer student of Lawrence, is conducting a careful investigation of road conditions in Douglas county in preparation for a senior thesis. He travels over all the county to secure the knowledge necessary for making a complete topographical map. In each township Mr. Emmett ascertains not only the present appearance of the roads but the amount of money being used in maintenance. He compares the results in different parts of the county and thus learns how and to what extent one township is superior to another. He will secure information useful not only to Douglas county, but suggestive to other counties which may join in the state-wide zeal for improved roads.
Moral Victories.
The University Missouriian in a recent number takes the following gentle whack at Dr. Hetherington, the Tiger purist in matters athletic: "Not only has the doctor won fame as an athletic expert but he has advanced athletics at the University to such a height that a moral victory is now the crowning glory sought after by his superb athletes."

John Bradley, of Wellington has entered the Law school for the second term.
BASEBALL OUTLOOK IS ENCOURAGING
With the opening of the second term the baseball squad is getting down to hard work again. With quiz week gone by, those fortunate enough to pass the ordeal without losing their eligibility will work out daily from now until warm weather in Robinson gymnasium. With the first breaking of spring, Coach Ebright will lead his pupils out to the golf links to harden them up for the opening of the season.
"Dick" Kaufman, former pitcher and coach of the 'Varsity, will be back in a couple of weeks to help instruct the men. "Dick" is signed up for Louisville this year and he is anxious to get in condition for the league race early, so he will train on the Jayhawkers' ball lot and at the same time teach the swatters some of the inside tricks of big league baseball.
Coach Ebright, when asked what he thought of the chances of Kansas in the national game said: "It is my belief that the material on hand insures Kansas the best team that has represented her for some time. There is plenty of timber for nearly every place on the diamond and if the men remain eligible I can't see who will have it over us."
Captain Carlson said, "While of course an ever victorious team in baseball is practically impossible I feel sure that we will win a third championship for Kansas. Six old men will probably be eligible for their places and from thirty new candidates of experience we will be able to complete a great team."
"No Snobs Here," said Ziefle.
A "concentrated snob" according to Professor Adolph Ziefl in his Y. M. C. A. talk Thursday evening is one who looks down upon a student who is working his way through school. From his experience and observation Prof. Ziefl was sure that the task took grit and perseverance but the result was worth the effort. He paid tribute to the democratic spirit and absence of snobbishness in the University of Kansas. He closed by listing methods which he had seen used by boys working their way through college.
The freshmen basket ball team defeated the sophomores at the skating rink Thursday night by the score of 59 to 8. The sophomores who were not used to playing together, were completely outclassed. Van der Vries with nine and Larson with seven goals, starred for the freshmen. The line up was, freshmen: Van der Vries and Watson, forwards, Larson and Stuckey, guards, Mallice center. Sophomores: Young and McCune, forwards, Hinkson and Nesbit, guards, Johnson, center.

IT WAS A GALA DAY
Continued from page 1)
The wives, daughters and mayhap the sweethearts of the legislators had seats in the front balcony. The G. A. R. was given places in the front of the hall and as the veterans, grey headed and bent, entered the hall, the vast assemblage arose and a silence, more impressive than acclamation, prevailed.
Col. J. K. Rankin, local commander of the grand army, took charge of the services. Chancellor Strong was the first speaker of the day and in a short, forceful address he explained the growth of nationality in the world and showed how Abraham Lincoln, more than any other man stood for a national unity. The chancellor closed by reading the Gettysburg address.
The main speech of the day was delivered by Regent Willis Gleed, '79, of Topeka. Mr. Gleed gave his classic oration on Abraham Lincoln. In preparation for this work the speaker read all that Lincoln ever wrote and studied a great part of the contemporary criticisms of Lincoln's life. Mr. Gleed has a wonderful grasp of the character of the martyred president and understands completely the salient features of his wonderful career.
The memorial exercises finished, the visitors were conducted to the dining hall below. There sixteen large tables seated the 400 diners. One hundred University girls served at the tables. Toasts were given during the banquet and Speaker Dolley and Lieutenant-Governor Fitzgerald were among the speakers. These gentlemen, presiding officers of the house and senate respectively, promised to do what they could toward getting a large appropriation.
During the afternoon the visitors were conducted over the campus and into the various buildings by members of the faculty and the student body. The engineers worked in the shops all afternoon and the art exhibit was thrown open to the guests. Green Hall was turned into a rest room for gentlemen and the women refreshed themselves in Spooner library, where tea was served all afternoon.
The carriages took the Topeka crowd to the depot before six o'clock and the special pulled them back to Topeka.
Rare Specimen to Museum.
A very rare specimen has been received at the museum. It is an armadillo, caught by a farmer near Osage City. The animal is a hybrid, a cross between a mud turtle and a possum. The animal has no teeth. Its body is covered by a hard carapace. When in danger, the armadillo rolls up in a ball, and thus protects himself. The animal is being mounted in the museum.

TIGERS TOOK LAST CONTEST
REVENGED THEMSELVES BY 37 TO 21 SCORE.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FEBRUARY 16, 1909
Every Kansan Made a Single Field Goal,—Ristine and Henley Tiger Stars.
Worn out and crippled from the three previous games with Washington and Missouri, the Jayhawkers lost Saturday night in Columbia by the score of 37 to 21. Scarcely a man on the squad was in condition to enter the contest but before the game was over every player had been in the contest. None of them was able to last the game through.
The Tigers anxious to avenge three defeats at the hands of Kansas played their best game of the year and Ristine and Henley could not be stopped. These men did the larger part of the scoring for Missouri. For Kansas every man made a single field goal.
Missouri played a hard, fierce game and made altogether sixteen fouls. Kansas was credited with only seven.

Give "Flunkers" a Chance.
The University of Cornell has started a plan to put "flunks" on probation during the second term. About thirty who otherwise would have been requested to leave school, have been given new lease on life. The number of "busts" this year was the greatest it has been in years, over 150 being dropped from the university rolls at Cornell.

WHO WILL BE CHAMPIONS?
THE RACE IS STILL OPEN IN BOTH DIVISIONS.
Washington to Play the Deciding Games at Columbia and Lawrence this Week.
SOUTHERN DIVISION.
Won Lost Pct.
Washington 3 1 750
Kansas 4 2 666
Missouri 1 5 166
NORTHERN DIVISION.
Won Lost
Won Lost Pet.
Nebraska 5 3 575
Drake 3 3 500
Ames 2 4 333
With six more games to be played in the southern division and four in the northern division of the Missouri Valley conference, the championship is still in doubt. Washington with three games won and one game lost is leading in the South. To win the laurels Washington must take two games from Missouri this week and one from Kansas. If Washington breaks even at both Missouri and Kansas the championship will be a tie between the St. Louis players and Captain Woodward's athletes.
For Kansas to win the title she must take the two games with Washington on Saturday and Monday, unless Missouri takes two from the present leaders on Wednesday and Thursday. In such a case Kansas will need to take only one of the games here.
Washington, for the first time this year, will play off her own court this week. This should be a deciding factor in the final games.
In the North, Nebraska has played her full quota of eight games. Five of these have been victories. Drake, second in the race, has lost three and won three. This week Ames and Drake play the final two games and if the DesMoines school is victorious in both, the Cornhuskers will be tied for the honors.
So far Nebraska has won three out of four from Ames and two out of four from Drake while Drake and Ames have split even in the two games they have played
L. A. Ames who has completed his course in the Engineering school, left Friday for his home at Downs, Kas. From there he will go to Richfield, Idaho where he will be associated with Owen Smith,'08.
DR. PAYNE SPOKE IN CHAPEL.
Said We Should Plan Our Lives Ahead.
Dr. Wallace C. Payne of the Bible Chair gave a short address in chapel this morning. His theme was: "There is no road too long for the man who advances with becoming haste: no honors too distant for the man who prepares himself with thoroughness." In his talk Dr. Payne spoke of the late President Harper, of Chicago, who had planned his life twenty years in advance. Dr. Payne impressed the thought that everyone should first have a vision to work towards, and then should perfect a plan for reaching this ideal. Deliberation and determination are essential to any success.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1909
Some members of the faculty are inclined to believe The Kansan too aggressive in asserting that the costs of living are higher at the University of Kansas than they are at other schools and much higher than they should be. These professors, however, are invariably comparing the University of Kansas with eastern colleges where the cost of living is of course higher than it is in the west and most of them are basing their judgment upon the cost of a college education a number of years ago when it was only the very well-to-do who could attend college. We know the cost of living is thirty or forty per cent. higher here than at Missouri and at the smaller colleges in this state. The University Missourian proved by the quotation of prices in Columbia and other Missouri towns that the prices of food commodities were from five to fifty per cent. higher in Columbia than in other towns. Yet board is cheaper there than here. If the matter were sifted to the bottom it would probably be found that no fault would attach to the boarding house keepers of the town. The first cause for the high prices would be found in the unreasonable price of groceries and produce as compared with prices in other portions of the state. Secondly, there are too many clubs in Lawrence. For every club, whether it has one or twenty members, a house must be rented and the regular number of persons employed to do the work. As for the question of rent there is no doubt as to it being in many cases unreasonable. The idea of the upstairs of a private residence renting for a hundred dollars or more a month, almost enough to replace the house each year, is nothing but extortion.
Baker, in her eternal search for an excuse for defeat, says that it is owing to the courts on which her basketball team played that the team has suffered so many defeats. From the University of Washington on the far off northern storm swept coasts of the Pacific to the University of Virginia where gentle southern zephyrs are playing amongst new blown sweet scented flowers that same doleful and despairing wail is going up. No, Baker, you are not alone in being of the opinion
that this is a land of bad basketball courts—a land where the courts are so bad that none can win but the home team and it only after it has become inured to the hardships of its own court by hard, long practice.
With three games won and two lost the basketball team has returned from its invasion into the land of the enemy. An even break with such teams as represent Missouri and Washington, playing on their own courts, and backed by supporting rooters, is as good a record as could be expected from even so great a team as Captain Woodward heads. Upon their own stamping grounds the Jayhawkers have been invincible, on foreign courts they have more than held their own. The Washington games this week will decide the issue of the championship of the southern division. Washington has a chance to take the banner but the chances and the records seem to favor Kansas.
At the University of Nebraska they are having about as much trouble as we here in Kansas are having. Yesterday the state legislature visited the university, and an anti-fraternity bill is up before the legislature. At Nebraska all the employees at the state house did not accompany the legislature on the sight seeing trip as the university and capital are in the same town and the ride was too short to appeal to the psuedo-statesmen. ___
The bringing to the university of collections of art such as that now on display at the University should be a means of encouraging an appreciation of the beautiful in the University. Kansas has made a reputation for a good many things but has never yet been accused of being artistic. A great University like that of Kansas should pay at least some attention to the cultivation of the aesthetic.
The Topeka Capital says a University girl screamed when given a tip by a member of the legislature at the dinner in the gymnasium. But pray who wouldn't scream at such an unusual sight as a legislator parting with money when on a junketing trip.
The annual County Fair, which was to have been given this year by the Y. M. C. A., has been postponed indefinitely. Instead, the members of the association will hold a series of Olympic games in the gymnasium on March 6. Some of the best athletes in the university will perform. Everyone should keep the date open.

IS IT BROWNTAIL MOTH?
Professor Hunter Preparing To Ward Off Dangerous Pest.
Prof. S. J. Hunter has recently learned of danger threatened to the orchards of the state from the introduction of the browntail moth upon nursery stock imported from foreign countries. This moth is akin to the trissock moth which attacks the maples in this section of the country but hitherto has not had any foothold in Kansas. It is also of the same family as the gypsy moth which since 1890 has caused such great devastation among the trees of eastern Massachusetts. During the decade beginning in 1890, the legislature of Massachusetts expended more than a million dollars to destroy the gypsy and browntail moths.
As state entomologist, Professor Hunter will take prompt action to ward off the introduction of the pest and thus protect the state against its deprudations and the necessity of the expense of appropriations for its eradication should it once become firmly established.
Recently the larvae of this browntail moth have been found on shipments of nursery stock received from France by two different nurseries in this state. Specimens of the larvae are now in the possession of the Entomology department.
Freshmen 45, Manual 18.
Carl Eddy a Prom Manager.
The basket ball team of the Manual Training High school of Kansas City was outclassed in the game with the Kansas freshmen here Saturday night, the game ending with the score 45 to 18 in favor of the freshmen. The large court told upon the play of the visitors who were forced to act upon the defensive the entire time. Van der Vries of the Kansas team starred with ten field goals. Bracken and Mongomery of Manual each threw two, the only ones made by their team. The Lawrence high school students were invited to attend the game free. The line-up: Manual—Bracken and Moffett, forwards; Koenigsdorf, center; Powell and Montgomery, guards. Freshmen-Watson and Van der Vries, forwards; Mallice, center; Larson and Stuckey, guards.
Yesterday Carl Eddy, a junior in the College, was appointed a manager of the Junior prom. to take the place made vacant by Dick Kaufman. The two managers originally appointed were Earl Woodward and Dick Kaufman. Mr.Eddy was manager of the mandolin club last year and took the men on the longest trip that a musical organization ever undertook.

Most of the faces of the inquirers betrayed a conscious fear of something horrible coming. The student with the most worried expression, as a general thing had the pleaasure of hearing the registrar read a list of half a dozen 1's and then went on his way rejoicing, while the care-free one left in disgust after receiving his miserable record, accusing some professor of mistreating him.

He Tipped a Co-Ed Who Was Not Used to Tips.
CAREY STARTED SOMETHING.
The following is the Topeka Capital's version of an incident that occurred at the dinner given to the legislators last Friday:
Senator Emerson Carey of Reno county got back from Lawrence all right, but from stories told yesterday in the senate, he had a mighty close call. He narrowly escaped being mobbed, because he "tipped" one of the waiters at the University Friday.
At the dinner in the University gym. the waiters were picked from the prertiest co-eds in school. A particularly "fair damsel" waited on Senator Carey. Evidently the senator from Reno thought that the girls were imported from the French cafes of Kansas City or had been picked from the "plate-rollers" of the local restaurants. After pie and coffee had been served he called this particularly pretty young lady to him and slipped a dollar into her hand.
This was the first tip the young lady had ever received. She was so surprised that, for a moment, she was unable to speak,. Then she let out a chirp that was half scream and half gurgle. She jumped up and down a while snd then started up the aisle.
The other young women, also waiters, were attracted by the outburst. They rushed pell-mell upon the "horrid man," not knowing what he had done, or said.
It took several minutes for Senator Carey to explain. "I gave it to her to buy a box of candy," contritely explained the confused legislator. Then some more explaining followed. The misunderstanding was patched up, but Senator Carey says it will be the last tip he gives a waiter until he first finds out whether she is a professional or "new on the job."
The recipient of Senator Carey's tip was Miss Gertrude Copley, secretary of the senior class.

To the Editor of The Kansan:
A Communication.
Your constant iteration of the theme, Cheap board elsewhere and dear board in Lawrence, is growing weariness. It does cost enough to live in any place—more is the pity, out judging from my own experience, Lawrence is not much worse in that respect than other University towns. Some time ago you mentioned that Harvard furnishes board at cost. It does, and it has been my lot to eat of that board all the fall. The average price at Memorial Hall was $5.04 per week, not including any meats. For the latter, one had to pay extra. Fish and packed eggs were served, also a monotonous round of about a half a dozen kinds of vegetables, and a staple lot of deserts. Equally appetizing food could be obtained here for not much over half the price. At Randall Hall, another of their eating places 'run at cost,' prices were somewhat cheaper but not to be compared with anything here. Are you not a little over-credulous about the wonders of the Orient? To me your late news-item as to the marvellous price of board at Missouri reads like a tale from the pen of Maundeville. Where did you get that bill of fare, was it taken from a prospectus?—Frank E. Bryant, Asst. Professor of English.

KANSAS AGAIN IN THE LEAD
NUMBER 54
MISSOURI WALLOPED WASHINGTON LAST NIGHT.
Jayhawkers Put in Their Last Practice for Washington Games Saturday and Monday Nights
SOUTHERN DIVISION.
Won Lost Pet.
Kansas 4 2 666
Washington 3 2 600
Missouri 2 5 285
In Columbia last night the Tigers walloped the Washington University team 32 to 16. The Tigers had every thing their own way from the start. The result of this game goes to show that the St. Louis team cannot play its ordinary great game off its own court.
If Washington wins tonight from Missouri Kansas will have to win both the Washington games here to win the championship. A tie will result in case the two teams break even.

Y. W. REVISES CONSTITUTION
Mrs. W. H. Johnson and Mrs. R. K. Duncan on Advising Board
---
The Y. W. C. A. occupied their regular meeting hour last Wednesday afternoon with their annual business session. The committee on revision of the constitution suggested a number of changes which were adopted. The election of officers will hereafter occur later in the spring and instead of taking charge of the work at once, the new officers will not assume their duties until the next fall. In accordance with this plan, Miss Nadia Thomas will continue as president during the remainder of this school year.
Mrs. W. H. Johnson and Mrs. R.K. Duncan were selected to fill the vacancies in the advisory board.
COMMITTEE KILLED ANTI-FRAT BILL
The anti-fraternity bill introduced by Representative Lot Ravenscraft, of Ashland, at the state legislature did not receive the approval of the committee on educational institutions to which it was submitted for examination. It has been reported to the house of representatives as "dead."
The need of the bill has been discussed widely over the state and from all the information that can be gathered most of the sentiment in favor of it came from a district where the inhabitants are slightly acquainted with the conditions as they exist here.
The purpose of the bill was to prohibit students in state schools from joining fraternities. It provided for the fining of the Board of Regents of the University in case it was found that students were being permitted to join these secret societies. The bill was found impracticable. Many of the legislators, at the time of the visit of the legislature here, inquired into the conditions of fraternities and found the members as a rule attaining a high standard of scholarship and furthermore that they are not a lot of rich men's sons here just to spend money, wear odd togery and smoke cigarettes.

ARRANGES BASE BALL SCHEDULE
MANAGER LANSDON WILL SUBMIT PLANS TO BOARD.
Nineteen Games With Missouri Valley Teams—Kansas Will Play all but Iowa.
Manager Lansdon has arranged for a base ball schedule which he will submit to the schedule committee of the athletic board for ratification next week. The schedule contains one more game than the new rules of the Missouri Valley Conference permit but the contracts were closed before the rule was passed.
The schedule as is now arranged has all the home games, except two at the end of the season, in the last two weeks of April and the first weeks of May. Beginning with the 14th of May the team will take a trip and play Nebraska, Drake, Ames, Missouri, and Washington. Iowa University is the only conference team not played.
Until the recent rule passed by the Missouri Valley conference limiting the number of games to eighteen, Manager Lansdon had been planning to take the team on a week's trip to Texas during Easter vacation. This proposition has been given up and the early April trip will be the only one besides the big trip in May.

Miss Rosencrans has had experience in this work as president of a student Good Government Association at the University of Wisconsin.
MANDOLIN CLUB AGAIN.
Reorganizes, and Will Give Concert in Fraternal Aid Hall.
Monday afternoon the old members of last year's Mandolin club met and reorganized. Heim Goldman, who directed the club last year, will have charge of it again this year. The management of the club will be under the control of C.G.Eddy, who took the club on the two week's trip last year.
A list of the names of all of last year's members who are in school this year has been handed to the eligibility committee and as soon as this committee acts the club will begin practicing. Tryouts may be held next week for candidates who can play the mandolin.
Either the last week in March or the first one in April the club will give a concert in Fraternal Aid hall. Every man who plays in this concert will be awarded a pin. This will be granted by the faculty committee but purchased by the club members.
The club will not take a trip this year. It has been reorganized to hold its place in the list of student organizations so that it will receive its share of the fund derived from the sale of student enterprise tickets and so that the club will be on good footing for next year.
NEBRASKA GETS NORTHERN TITLE
Ames, by defeating Drake last Saturday, gave the championship of the northern division of the conference to Nebraska University. Had Drake won the two games scheduled with Ames the race would have been a tie.
The standing now is:
The following table shows the number of wins and losses for the four players. The numbers in brackets represent the Pet.

Drake 3 4 429

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1909
In the last week's issue of Harper's Weekly is an article by President Charles F. Thwing, of Western Reserve University entitled "The College President and the Undergraduate." He tells of the great friendship that existed between President Eliot and the student body. By numerous examples he shows that many of the great educators of this country and England have been men of extremely democratic habits who have been on familiar terms, not only with their own students but often with the entire student body. There is probably a greater segregation of student body and faculty body at University of Kansas than is the case at any of the large universities in the country. There must be a cause for it here. What is it?
Professor Bryant says he had a monotonous round of five or six kinds of vegetables while at Harvard and a staple lot of deserts. Well that is a great deal better than having a monotonous round of one or no vegetables as is often the case here. And as for the desert—well, prunes are very good but as one student says, when the hash and prunes are mixed on Sunday and put out as mince meat, the subject of deserts becomes unpleasant to discuss.
There was an election at Columbia, Mo. not long ago in which the "drys" were victorious. Then the "wets" asked for a recount asserting that students that were ineligible had voted in the election. The "drys" agreed to throw out the student votes and after the recount it was found that the number of "wet" votes had fallen off in about the same proportion as student votes had been thrown out.
Rev. Frank Crane, who bears the title of Preacher of the University of Chicago, says that not one professor in twenty knows how to teach and not one student in a hundred does what is required of him. But pray how would a student find time to make Phi Beta Kappa if he did all that was required of him.
Following is a news item taken from College Life the student paper at the College of Emporia:
"K. S. A. C. entertained the Kansas legislature last week.
Professor Bryant says he paid $5.04 for board while at Harvard. Now candidly would you suspicion, judging by outward appearances, that he had ever fared so sumptuously?
The visit was to determine the advisability of removing the engineering department to K. U. It will not be done."
The Pacific Daily Wave, of the University of Washington, insists on calling the graduate club the "has been" club.

Medical Students at Penn Face New Rules.
Following the agitation for more thorough preparation of medical students for college degrees, carried on by leading physicians some months ago, the University of Pennsylvania, in its catalog for the present year announces that new requirements have been made for students entering the medical college. The catalog has been issued within the last few days.
It is announced that hereafter applicants for admission to the medical department in addition to the requirements demanded last fall must furnish evidence of having completed the freshman year at a college of recognized scholastic standing, or will have to undergo an examination covering subjects usually contained in first year work. In the fall of 1910 it is proposed to insist upon two years college work or its equivalent prior to taking up the study of medicine.
Their certificates must also cover two languages other than English, one of which must be either French or German. The second may be Latin, Greek or a modern tongue. In the summer school of the college, courses will be offered to those preparing to meet the new requirements. Several courses have been added in the law department, and also to the department of psychology.

HOVEY TO RUN NEWSPAPER.
Former Student Will Run Weekly Paper,
Wallace Hovey, a last year's graduate of the University is preparing to start a weekly paper in Hiawatha, Kansas. Mr. Hovey was a member of the Journalism class here. Since graduating he has been in newspaper work at Hiawatha with Ewing Herbert and later in St. Joseph where he has been for the past few months.
Hiawatha has been selected by Mr. Hovey, as he is well known in Brown county through his work in that locality. Two papers already exist in Hiawatha the stronger of which is the Brown County World owned by Mr. Herbert, who, when last here, complimented highly the work of his young newspaper friend and employee.
Mr. Hovey will call his paper, "The Hiawatha News." He will have a new feature, by making his sheet a five column paper with twelve pages. Many of his former friends believe that the venture will prove a success as the securing of interesting news has always proved his smallest trouble.
FROM OTHER COLLEGES.
Indiana's request for $443,616 was cut by the legislative committee to $153,400, while Purdue's appropriation was doubled by the legislature without consulting the college authorities.
150 tickets for the junior prom at Wisconsin were sold on the first day of sale.
The university buildings at Sydney, Australia and the Polytechnic school at San Paulo, Brazil are unsurpassed by any university buildings in the world in beauty. The Brazilian buildings would do justice to ancient Athenian architecture and the Australian buildings are on the style of the great early cathedrals.

Plans for the Publication of "The Quill" Being Made.
TOLD HISTORY OF QUILL CLUB.
Prof. E. M. Hopkins spoke on the history of the Quill Club at the regular meeting of the organization Tuesday afternoon. He told of the two preceding philological clubs which had been short lived. The Quill Club, however, was not an outgrowth of these organizations but of the association during the spring semester of students who had been in his class in Prose Invention and wished to continue the presentation and criticism of their own original productions. When a permanent organization was effected the members adopted the suggestion of Professor Hopkins of "Quill" as the name of the club.
During the business session the character of the Quill and the basis for the selection of the material to be published in it about the first of May was discussed. John Shea as acting president appointed a committee to secure articles from former members of the club.
The Truth.
"Now Honest, George," said Lincoln's ghost,
"It's just 'twixt you and me But is it true that you did hew That soiling cherry tree?"
"And by the way, George Washington.
I can't quite see how it can be. You never told a lie!"
Then George he smiled a spectral smile.
"Old Abe, did you perchance,
'Steen thousand rails—so go the tales—

AN EVER VICTORIOUS TEAM.
The University of Washington is to actually profit something like $600,000 and possibly more as a result of the holding of the Alaska-Pacific exposition on its campus at Seattle. There will be several large and important buildings constructed with money appropriated by the Washington legislature for exposition purposes. The huge fair over, the University will obtain these buildings costing over half a million.
Freshmen Have Clean Record and Only Four More Games.
The freshmen basket ball team has an excellent chance of finishing the season with a "clean slate." The team has not suffered a single defeat and has only four scheduled games to play, although one may be arranged with the Kansas City, Kas, High School. The four games are with the Emporia Normals, Wentworth and with the Central and Westport high schools of Kansas City, Missouri. As Central was beaten on its own courts and Westport was defeated here by a large score, the freshmen believe that they will easily be returned the victors in all of the contests.
The freshmen team has gradually improved from the beginning of the season and is now playing so well that "Phog" Allen believes that he has excellent material for the 'varsity next year. As there will be places for three new men he is not worrying over the prospects for a championship team with such promising freshmen to draw from.

BRYANT AN OPTIMIST.
Harvard Prices Are at Cost and Relatively Lower than Here.
"When Professor Bryant said that the price of board and room in Lawrence was no worse than in other University towns he showed, at least, that he was a great optimist," said Professor Boodin this morning. "When I was a student in Harvard board was given at absolute cost, and the system is the same today," continued Professor Boodin. "One of my friends boarded at Randall Hall for two dollars a week and prices vary from that to as much as a person can afford to pay."
"At Memorial Hall a person obtains the same service as is given at the Eldridge house for an average of $4.10 per week. That was the average when I was at Harvard and it was the average two years ago. The price may have increased or decreased somewhat since then, but the difference either way cannot be much.
"Many students at Harvard use a la carte service and obtain excellent three-course meals for fifteen and twenty cents. Service and all considered, prices are lower in Harvard than in Lawrence."

Several new men are making good, and are expected to push the veterans in many of the events.
With the class games drawing near, interest is being centered in the different class teams. The freshmen are showing up particularly strong this year, mostly in the sprints and distance events, and expect to place well in the games.

In a fast game Thursday night the Tiger basket ball team defeated the Washington team in Columbia by a score of 28 to 21. The game was spectacular from the first and at the end of the first half the score was 19 to 15 in favor of Missouri. The Washington players were unable to locate the basket but played an aggressive game.
Ristine, Henley, Bernet and Gardner of the Missouri team finished their college basketball career in this game.
Tonight in Robinson gymnastium the Jayhawker basketball team will tangle with the team from Washington University. If this game is won by the Kansans the championship of the southern division is also won.
"Tommy" Johnson the speedy Jayhawker forward will not play in tonight's game unless he is compelled to do so. Coach Allen wishes to save him for the conference champion-ship series which will be played with Nebraska soon.
Manager Lansdon intends to make the following proposition to Nebraska concerning the place where the final games will be played in case Kansas wins the southern section: That one game be played in Lincoln and one in Lawrence and in case each team win one game, that the final be played in Kansas City.
Prof. H. P. Cady went to Kansas City this morning to attend a meeting of the Kansas City section of the American Chemical Society.
Prof. E.M. Hopkins delivered a lecture on "Literary Criticism" at the annual open meeting of the Ladies' Literary League of Abilene, Kansas, last Friday evening.
PAINTINGS TELL THEIR STORIES
"The more an observer puts into a picture, the more he will get out of it," says Prof. W. A. Griffith to the picture lover. "Just as the more a person learns about Shakespeare, the more he appreciates what that poet has written, so if the general character of the painter's life is known, it adds much to the meaning of that man's productions."
Pictures are representations of instances of time. They cannot show movement, they can only suggest it. There are pictures which tell a story other than the mere scene which they represent.
One of the best story telling pictures in the art exhibit is "The Broken Contract," by Walter MacEwen. The setting of the picture is in the middle ages when marriage contracts were made. Who broke the contract and why, are questions suggested to the observer. The emotions of the characters stand out clearly. One class of people will see in this picture a deep tragedy depicted. Others will see in it a masterpiece from the technical point of view.
"The Intermezzo" by Henry S. Hubbell is another picture with a story. A violinist is playing a concerto. During one of the intermissions, he drops upon a divan in perfect relaxation, while the woman accompanist plays the interlude.
"The Gold Fish," by Albert Herter, is a masterful thing almost oriental. "The Bowery Scene" by Sloan is one of the best story pictures in the exhibit, depicting a scene of life in the lower strata of New York society.
A recent addition to the art collection is a clever optical illusion by Nyman Green, the silhouette artist.
The exhibit will be open on Washington's birthday.
Kemp Next Tuesday
Harry Kemp will give a new lecture next Tuesday evening in Fraternal Aid hall for the benefit of the City Y. M. C. A. The proceeds of the lecture will go to pay a deficit of $125 that the association incurred during the convention here.
JAYHAWKERS TO PLAY NINE GAMES NEXT FALL.
FOOTBALL SCHEDULE
GAMES NEXT
Same Teams That Met Ever Victorious Squad Are Booked for Games in 1909.
Manager Lansdon has arranged the football schedule for next fall and made it public. Nine games are contracted for despite the fact that the conference ruling permits only eight. The contracts were already signed before the rule was adopted and Kansas will not come under the new order next fall.
The Nebraska game which was due in Lawrence will be played in Lincoln next November. The reason for this change is that all the big games were coming on McCook one year and the next year only minor contests were played in Lawrence. This last season Nebraska and Iowa, the big teams on the schedule, were met on their own gridirons and to vary this arrangement and to give the students one big game each year, the Nebraska game was put in Lincoln two years in succession. The Iowa game will be played on McCook Field on Nov.20.
The same teams that played the evervictorious team last fall will be pitted against the Jayhawkers next year. The order of their coming is varied somewhat. Oklahoma is the third team on the schedule instead of the fourth and Manhattan comes fourth instead of third.
The schedule follows:
Sept. 29 Normal McCook Field
Oct. 2 St. Mary's McCook Field
Oct. 9 OklahomaMcCook Field
Oct. 15 K S A C Manhattan
Oct. 23 WashingtonMcCook Field
Oct. 30 Washburn Topeka
Nov. 6 Nebraska Lincoln
Nov. 20 Iowa McCook Field
Nov. 25 Missouri Kansas City

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 20,1909
Professor Bryant in a second letter to The Kansan deprecates the fact that The Kansan does not view favorably the prices of living that now prevail in Lawrence. He says it shows an absence of patriotism on the part of the University paper. That the lack of patriotism—it is which he says troubles him. Well as for our ailment we may say it is more acute. It is a question of whether or not we shall pay extortionate prices for board and room. If it shows a lack of patriotism to try to correct those faults which one sees in an institution of which one is a part then we are willing to be unpatriotic. Patriotism does not consist, as we understand it, in submitting to what you believe to be injustices, it does not consist in kow-towing to what is, just for the reason that it is, it does not consist in being afraid to speak for what one believes to be right for the fear that some material loss may come. Why, that argument is the same old "let alone" talk that came from the defenders of the East Side last year when the unpatriotic action of the law enforcement element was playing havoc with their business. We must remember that it is not always patriotism to the University to be patriotic to high board and extortionate room rent, no more than it is patriotic to Lawrence to defend the liquor traffic.
Of the nineteen baseball games to be played by Kansas next spring only five are with schools in this state. Of the eight schools on the schedule six are outside the bounds of Kansas, and Bethany and Manhattan are the only state schools with which contests are booked. This is another move in the direction of confining the competitive activities of the University to schools worthy of Kansas. At the present time debates are held only with schools of the size or standing of the University and the steady growth of the school insures, as sure as fate, the time when in contests in every line of endeavor Kansas will compete only with the large schools of the west. This will force the elimination of every state school from the different schedules of the University with the possible exception of Manhattan. There is a possibility of losing everything and no chance of gaining anything for a large school to hold contests with schools far below it in size.
Masque Club Elected Members.
The Masque Club held a meeting Thursday night at the Theta house. Miss Gertrude Mossler has been secured again for the spring play, the regular tryout for which will be announced the first of next week. This tryout will be open to all students in the University. The following people from the cast of "The Royal Knave" were elected to membership in the Masque: Ward H. Cook, Harold Armsby, Merle C. Prunty, Louis Breyfogle, Clifford Cole, Harry Slaymaker, Francis Hipple, Earl Fisher, Haunah Mitchell, Mary Cours, Isabel Thomes, and Grace Waugh.

SHERIDAN SPOKE IN CHAPEL.
He Favors Large Appropriations for State Institutions.
"I believe in liberal education based upon liberal appropriations by the state legislature for state institutions," said Barney Sheridan, in chapel yesterday. "I agree with Horace Mann in that we must educate or perish. Only three or four from every thousand of the Kansas young people have the opportunity of attending the University. Those who have that opportunity are clothed with the greatest responsibility."
Mr. Sheridan believes that large educational institutions are absolutely necessary. He sees in the future the time when every acre of Kansas soil will be occupied by more than one Kansan. To keep pace with such a growth the University must have appropriations.
As advice to the students he said in conclusion: "Don't try to cover to much territory. Be thorough in everything as far as you go."
For more than thirty years, Mr. Sheridan has been chief owner of The Western Spirit, which is published in Paola. He was editor of the Kansas City Post in its first year of existence. His nephew, Barney Sheridan, last year graduated from the College. He is now a student at Yale.
A Story in Kansas Magazine.
Miss Muriel Culp, of Lawrence, a student in the college for the past two years, will have a short story in the next issue of the Kansas magazine. The sketch will bear the title, "Jane Orchard," and its setting is in the time of the Quantrell raid in Kansas.

STRONG BEFORE COMMITTEE.
Optimistic Concerning the Outcome of Budget Bill.
Chancellor Strong and Secretary E. E. Brown went to Topeka yesterday to confer with the legislature regarding the University budget for the next biennium. Last night they held a session with the joint sub-committees of the senate and house which had been appointed for the purpose of considering the University's needs. The entire budget was gone over and considered, one item at a time.
It is impossible, of course, to tell what the fate of the budget will be, but the Chancellor and Mr. Brown are optimistic as to the outcome. The legislature is favorably disposed toward the University, and the members are opposed to any policy that will interfere with its growth.
Thespians Preparing For New Play

Spoke to Journalism Classes.
"If you do not expect to control a newspaper, I advise you to get out of the business." This was Barney Sheridan's advice to the newspaper classes yesterday morning. "Every conscientious journalist," he continued, "expects someday to run a newspaper."
His subject dealt mostly with the building up and running of a country paper, and he told many of his own experiences in that work.
"The first duty of the editor of any paper is to make it pay," said Mr. Sheridan. "If a paper is not self-supporting—nay, more—if it's not making money, there is very little good it can do a community.
"Have your office on the ground floor, well lighted and the door open, so the school children may run in and get acquainted. Instill in their hearts a good will toward your paper and it is wonderful how quickly a neighborhood of friends will be dwelling about your field of activity."
Mr. Sheridan has not been active editor of the The Western Spirit for three years.His son, a graduate of the University,has charge of the paper.

A Communication.
To the Editor of the Kansas:
to the Editor of the Kansan:
Although consciousness that I received undue prominence in the last number of your paper, I am ready to appear again. Unfortunately Professor Boodin allowed himself to be interviewed, and he made the sad mistake that you cautioned us against in the previous issue of the Kansan. He has set up former conditions at Harvard as if they held good now. But permit me to state that I have just returned from Harvard, where I boarded at Memorial hall except for parts of two weeks at Christmas when I was compelled to go to Randall. At Memorial I used most of the time the 'regular' system; but after Christmas, the a la carte. For 'regulars' the average cost for the past fall has been $5.04 per week as a minimum, not including meats. The actual average for most students was nearer six dollars. The system was so bad this year that the Hall nearly broke up. So many had left by Christmas time that the system was changed, and when I came away the university was still subsidizing board to get the new plan started.
Now for the a la carte at Memorial—I used that for several weeks, you remember. Breakfast was for me the cheapest meal. Let me show what could be obtained for fifteen or twenty cents: an orange, five cents; cereal, five cents; coffee, five cents; one good packed-egg, six cents; butter, one cent per piece. Idealistically this may be considered as a five or six course breakfast; but really, though defined as an optimist, I never looked at it that way. For lunch, soup was eight cents; meats, from twelve cups up; vegetables, five cents a piece; other things in proportion. These are the actual prices I paid a month ago.
Next let me say a word about Randall. I believe I obtained a meal there cheaper than twelve cents; and I had but two at that price. I believe I may say without the least hesitation, that the man who can now live at Randall hall on two dollars a week must eat crackers and cheese in his own room part of the time.
Now please compare with these statements that absurd bill of fare from the University of Missouri. For breakfast, a choice of four kinds of fruit; cereals; four kinds of meat, besides eggs in various styles; etc. For dinner, two or three kinds of meat; five kinds of vegetables; two or rthree kinds of desserts; besides cranberries, celery and other things. And so on, and all for $1.50 a week. Really did not that list appeal to your sense of humor? Just think, too, that only 430 students board at this club in spite of the marvelous price and fare.
But now suppose board were extortionate here, as you claim, what good are you going to accomplish by forever harping on that string? Can you do anything besides arouse discontent? May you not harm the University, and if you give credence to such stories, are you not likely to do so? It is that, that troubles me - this lack of patriotism. In the very last issue of the Kansan you stated in another connection that our faculty and students here are more "segregated," more apart, than is the case at any of the large universities of the country. That is not true. I have been a student at Michigan, Yale and Harvard, and I know of no university president in such close contact with his students as is Chancellor Strong, and I do not know of any real university where students and faculty are so intimate.

KANSAS TOOK THEM BOTH
WON THE SOUTHERN DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP SATURDAY.
Washington Now Tied With Missouri for Last Place—Final Games Soon.
The Jayhawker basket ball team finished the local season yesterday afternoon in Robinson Gymnasium by defeating the Washington team 27 to 25. Unless one of the conference championship games is played here yesterday's game is the last until next year.
The game was the fastest and hardest fought one played here this year. Both teams were anxious to win the game; Kansas wanted to maintain a clean record for the local games and Washington wanted to land second place in the division race.
Johnson played at forward and did some sensational work dribbling the ball but he was unable to locate the basket. McCune at the other forward made seven field goals. Two of the Washington players, Henger and Maddox were put out of the game on account of fouls.
The Washington team left last night for St. Louis.

CINCHED CHAMPIONSHIP
Saturday night the Jayhawkers cinched the southern division championship by defeating the Washington University five 33 to 28. The game was spectacular from start to finish. The outcome was uncertain until the last few minutes when the Kansans got a lead of five points which they were able to hold.
The work of the Kansas team was not up to the form displayed by the men early in the season. Martindell showed

NEWINDUSTRIAL FELLOWSHIP
One Established that Pays $1500 To Last Two Years.
A new fellowship that is to run for two years and is to pay $1500 a year has been secured by Professor R. K. Duncan in the Industrial Chemistry department of the University. The fellowship is founded by the Ash Grove Lime and Cement Company of Kansas City, Mo., and is to be known as the Ash Grove fellowship. The fellowship is for the purpose of encouraging research work in lime and cement and must be held by someone connected with the University who has made a reputation for research work.
NEW LEGAL FRATERNITY
A new honorary fraternity has been organized in the law school. The society was formed about three months ago but no acknowledgement of its existence was made until today. It was the spring campaign of Phi Delta Phi, the national honorary fraternity of the law school, which caused the disclosure to be made.
The name of the fraternity is Lambda Epsilon. The existence of the society has been kept a secret until today on account of a pending petition for a charter from Phi Alpha Delta, one of the three honorary law fraternities of American colleges. The petition received the recommendation of every member of the law faculty. Chapters of Phi Alpha Delta have been installed at Missouri and Nebraska this year.
Lambda Epsilon has a membership of sixteen. Twelve of these men are from the middle law class and four from the senior law class. Prospective members to the fraternity must receive a recommendation from every member of the law faculty before they can be taken. Members of the junior law class will not be eligible as it is considered impossible to judge the scholarship of a student by one year's work.
Lambda Epsilon unites the requirements of Greek Letter and honorary fraternities, demanding that prospective members be good students as well as popular fellows.
It was through these strictly scholarship principles upon which the fraternity is founded that it received the endorsement of the faculty. The older members of the law faculty say there is plenty of room in the law school for a fraternity of high standard.
MAY DRAW PENSIONS
K. U. FACULTY TOPARTICIPATE IN CARNEGIE FUND.
Eight Faculty Members Have Served the University for Twenty-five Years.
The professors of the University of Kansas are now eligible to become beneficiaries of the Carnegie pension fund. The resolutions giving the authority of the legislature was signed by Governor Stubbs today. Under the rules of the Carnegie pension board this approval of the legislature and governor is necessary before the faculties of state schools may draw pensions from the fund.
By the rules under which the fund is administered, a professor may be retired after twenty-five years' service. There are a number of members in the faculty here who are entitled to be retired at once.
The present members of the University faculty who have served the school twenty-five years are W. H. Carruth, Ephriam Miller, J. W. Green, F. O. Marvin, E. H. S. Bailey, L. L. Dyche, Olin Templin and M. W. Sterling. A.M. Wilcox and L.E. Sayre have been at the University twenty-four years.
Kansas Team Selected.
Colorado University has selected the debating team that will oppose Kansas this spring. The men are Thos. H. Morrow, Phillip Van Cise and Herman Weinberger. Mr. Weinberger is ex-editor and present business manager of "Silver and Gold," the Colorado paper. Mr. Morrow is the Law reporter on the same sheet.

Arranging for Final Series.
Today Manager Lansdon is in Kansas City in conference with Manager Eager of Nebraska. The dates and places for the Missouri Valley championship games will be decided upon. Manager Lansdon has been authorized to submit two propositions to Nebraska: first, that one game be played at Lawrence, one at Lincoln and the final, if necessary, in Kansas City; or, that all the games be played on a neutral court, probably in Kansas City.
Cyrus Leland, Jr., has returned to the Beta house after three weeks absence from the University on account of trouble with his eyes.
TWO MILE TRYOUT SATURDAY.
Track Men Were Awarded "K" Sweaters.
Coach Hagerman of the track team held a preliminary tryout for the two-mile Saturday afternoon. Twenty or more contestants entered the race. Gordon Badger took first with the time of 11:25 and Fred Thompson entered second. The time was not fast, but it was good in consideration of the lack of previous competition. Clement Fairchild, who entered third, showed a strong sprint on the last five laps.
The athletic association has awarded sweaters to the "K" men of last year's track squad. These are the first sweaters the track athletes have ever received from the association.
The men who received the sweaters are Donald Martindell, Cecil Newbold, Frank Parker and Joseph Wenger. The remaining "K"men of last year are not now in school.
Rev. Bennett Spoke in Chapel.
At noon today Chancellor Strong and Professor Carruth went to Topeka to look after the interests of the University and to be on hand when the bill comes up for consideration. The Chancellor this morning said that while he had no line as to what the legislature might do, he was very hopeful.
The committees on ways and means will report the University appropriation bill to the legislature this week. The exact date of the presentation of the bill is unknown but it may be tomorrow.
APPROPRIATION BILL UP SOON
Rev. F. M. Bennett of the Lawrence Unitarian church spoke in chapel Tuesday morning on the value of doing the thing next at hand to be successful. "If the present duty is fulfilled the next will be easier," said Rev. Bennett. Living the intensive life will bring also the extensive life. Things in the future will be mastered if present difficulties are overcome."
The report that the committees will make is only a surmise at most and the final action is uncertain. The friends of the University in the legislature and the Chancellor are very optimistic about the final outcome and have high hopes that the recommendation of the regents will go through entire.
Dr. Payne and Dr. Wilber will speak at the Y.W.C.A. meeting Wednesday afternoon.
SENIORS
The Manager of the Annual will be at the checkstand every morning this week at chapel time to receive pictures and give out "Information Cards." "Scrap-books" and any other contributions for the Annual should be placed in the BOX by the checkstand. "IF IT'S FUNNY, WHY PUT IT IN THE ANNUAL."

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1909
All the state universities are busy at this season entertaining and coaxing the state legislatures to give them enough money to continue their work for the next year or two. In Indiana the legislature has probably greatly impeded the progress of the state university by cutting the appropriation by more than half, at Colorado the appropriation committee, after long and weighty consideration, has recommended that the appropriation for the university and other higher educational institutions except the state Normal school be cut. The same report advises that the state institutions for the insane, the criminal and the delinquent be granted in full and in some cases increased. It appears that about the only states which have received a liberal appropriation are those schools that are supported by a mill tax. In those states the legislature does not have the decision to make whether or not the University shall or shall not be supported. The amount of money received by the school increases as the valuation of the state increases. Until such an arrangement is made to provide for the support of the University of Kansas it will be necessary for the state institutions to be supplicants at the feet of the legislature. It will be necessary for the head institution of the educational system of the state to play the sycophant politician.
In Colorado there is a resolution before the state legislature which is being strongly opposed by a number of friends of the state university. It provides that the university professors shall be eligible to participate in the Carnegie pension fund. In Nebraska the legislature has passed such a resolution, and as a result W.J.Bryan severely censured the legislature for taking advantage of what he terms private charity. Now Kansas has given its independence a black eye by consenting to allow Carnegie to pension its educators who have worn themselves out in the service of the state. At Colorado the objection to the proposed action of the legislature is based on the prudish ground of "tainted" money. Of course such an argument sounds senseless when it is considered that the same tainted money has established
a library in almost every large sized community in the United States.
But there does appear to be a good reason why a great commonwealth should not accept of the generosity of Carnegie or any other private citizen. Is not the state of Kansas able to care for its superannuated servants? Why ask, or even allow, a private individual to perform a function which is so manifestly a duty of the state to perform?
PHI PSI BANQUET.
Celebrated Thirty-Third Anniversary of Chapter Here.
The Phi Kappa Psi fraternity celebrated the fifty-seventh anniversary of the fraternity and the thirty-third of the local chapter here, at the Eldridge house Saturday evening.

FRESHMEN WON A COUPLE.
Defeated Emporia College 67 to 18 and Central 34 to 22.
As a curtain raiser to the Kansas-Washington game on Monday, the freshmen easily defeated the College of Emporia team by the score of 67 to 18. The game, as far as the scoring was concerned, was a farce, as the freshmen toyed with their opponents. The visiting team, however, played hard and would have been able to put up an interesting game if their forwards had been more skilled in goal shooting.
FRESHMEN VS. CENTRAL.
For the freshmen, Van der Vries threw eleven field goals. His fast work in carrying the ball to the basket, together with his spectacular goal shooting made him the star of the game.
On Saturday night the Central High School team of Kansas City was defeated by the freshmen 34 to 22. The large court told upon the work of the visitors, the Kansas team setting a pace which proved too much for their opponents. The freshmen, earlier in the season, defeated Central on its own court by the score of 32 to 29.

FINAL GAMES NEXT WEEK
KANSAS TO MEET NEBRASKA IN KANSAS CITY.
Jayhawkers Are in Good Shape for the Championship Series.
The final series of games for the Missouri Valley championship in basketball will be played in the Rainbow skating rink in Kansas City, Kansas, next week. The days set are Thursday, Friday and Saturday. If either team should win the first two games the last one will not be played.
Manager Eager of Nebraska did not approve of the proposition to play one game at Lincoln, one at Lawrence and the deciding game, if necessary, in Kansas City. The expense of moving the teams would have been considerable, and Nebraska wished to play all three contests on a neutral court.
"Phog" Allen was up from Kansas City last night coaching the Jayhawker squad. He is well pleased with the way the men are working and thinks they will be able to beat Nebraska.
The freshmen team is used in every practice. The tyros are a fast bunch and can hold the 'Varsity down to low scores. The team needs practice with a fast team for the Nebraska five is composed of some of the speediest players in the Missouri Valley.
All the members of the Jayhawker squad are in excellent condition for the games. They were expecting to play the finals this week and are disappointed at the postponement, but with careful training will be able to put up a good fight at the end of next week.
What Are We Coming To?
The snap course, that haven of refuge to those who prefer the primrose paths to a sheepskin, is in danger. A Chicago professor has evolved a system whereby the student will receive credits according to the number of hours he studies, instead of according to the number of hours he recites.

MANY FLUNKED
CHEMISTRY II GOT ITS REGULAR QUOTS.
Chemistry, Mathematics, and Modern Languages Hardest for Students.
The report of the "flunks" in the college and in the engineering school shows that those who fell by the wayside were most numerous in chemistry, mathematics and foreign languages. Of the three chemistry was the most dangerous from a students standpoint.
One hundred and eighty-three engineers were enrolled in chemistry, and of these sixty-four failed or were conditioned. Chemistry II finished a big majority of this number. Almost one-third of the students enrolled in the Technical Report and chemical club classes "flunked" or were conditioned.
In the College one hundred and forty students were enrolled in Chemistry, the majority in Chemistry I. Of these thirty-four failed or received conditions.
The larger per cent of engineers failed in Chemistry owing to the fact that they alone take the harder courses. Chemistry II under Professor Cady regularly "flunks"the engineers in large droves.
Failures were also numerous in the Mathematics department. Two hundred and thirty-one engineers, all told, were enrolled in this department. One hundred and thirteen took analytics, and fifteen failed. In calculus twenty failed from one hundred and twenty-six enrolled. Twenty-two in Trigonometry and nineteen in algebra "flunked" out of an enrollment of one hundred and one and ninety-five respectively. But two failed to pass in geometry. This makes a total of seventy-eight failures from an enrollment of two hundred and thirty-one.
Sixty-eight were enrolled in trigonometry in the College, of whom twenty did not pass. The same number failed in algebra from an enrollment of ninety-six. One in analytics and one in calculus from an enrollment of thirty-nine and twenty-eight respectively is the "flunk" record. This makes forty-two failures from two hundred and thirty-one enrolled.
Seventy-four engineers were enrolled in German, of these only fifty-five passed. Three hundred and ninety-three were enrolled from the College. Thirty-eight of these failed.

COMMITTEES ARE FAVORABLE
AN APPROPRIATION OF $982,259 RECOMMENDED.
Dormitory, $40,000 for Electrical Equipment and $11,000 for Dispensary Cut Off.
The ways and means committee of the house of representatives made its report this afternoon on the appropriations for state educational institutions. The report was the same as that made by the senate committee yesterday, giving the University of Kansas almost a million dollars.
For some time it was thought that the house committee would lop off $40,000 in addition to that taken off by the senate, but fortunately for the University it did not do so. Tomorrow afternoon the bill will be up before the legislature for final passage. Those vitally interested in the outcome here are optimistic concerning its passage as they think the bill will go through as recommended.
For maintenance, the Chancellor asked for about forty percent more than was asked for two years ago. This is the rate at which the appropriations have been increased now for several bienniums.
As reported by both committees the University will be without a dormitory for girls for two years longer at least. The Chancellor asked for $75,000 with which to build one, but both committees considered the expenditure an unprofitable one. The $40,000 for equipping an electrical engineering building was also refused. The medical department at Kansas City also wanted a dispensary to cost $11,000 but this was refused. The report gives the University everything else which was asked for.
If the legislature passes the bill as the committees recommended the University is considered to have won a great victory.
The appropriation as recommended is:— General maintenance
General maintenance,
1909-10, - - $347,993
General maintenance,
1910-11, - - 368,978
For repairs and permanent improvements, - - 80,288

THE CLUB LOSES
MANDOLIN CLUB DEPRIVED OF SHARE OF STUDENT FUND.
Carl Eddy and Heim Goldman Lost $130 by Lingering too Long on Organization.
The mandolin club has been disinherited. The final blow was given at the meeting of the Associated Student Enterprises yesterday. It was decided that the club could receive none of the funds of the voluntary fee fund. The body decided that as the organization had not been representing the University this year, it would not be fair to give them a part of the funds.
The mandolin club was organized last week through the efforts of Heim Goldman and Carl Eddy, to whom the success of the club last year was mainly due. It was the intention of the promoters to give a spring concert. Arrangements had been made for the annual picture and writeup. The members of the new club had been passed upon by the eligibility committee of the University.
Manager Carl Eddy said: "The action taken by the heads of the student enterprises came as a sudden and painful surprise to me. I regard the action as unjust and arbitrary. The Mandolin Club was practically reorganized and was preparing to give an entertainment this spring. All the club members are grieved that their good intentions were thwarted by the high hand expropriation of our funds."
Lecture Hour Changed.
Mr. Goldman said: "It is a shame a burning shame. The money was our money, only we didn't have our hands on it. No we will not bring any suit or try to get the money by force. It is gone. We lost."
This evening Mr. Norman Hackett telegraphed to Professor Gray that he would arrive in Lawrence at 11 a.m. tomorrow and would be forced to return to Kansas City at 3 p. m. This will make it impossible for the lecture to be given at 2 o'clock and instead the noted actor will lecture at 11:30 in room 106 Green Hall.
Stanley Myers is visiting at the Phi Psi house.
Indiana will participate in six track meets this year.
Michigan has offered a new position to President Angell who has resigned. The regents will accept his resignation only on condition that he accept the new position of Chancellor of the University.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25,1909
A professor in the east says that yellow journalism will soon die out and that newspapers will some day tell the truth. No, that will never be, so long as the truth is as unpleasant as it is at present, not so long as the truth is so much more cynical and bitter than a lie. Just so long as society makes it profitable to hide what happens every minute and substitute instead a gilded string of falsehoods will yellow journalism continue. Now what would happen if any paper printed the truth about the debauchees of any "high" society, or even told the simple, unvarnished, but sarcastic truth about a days happenings in a small town. No it is better to write a few columns about the Vision of Salome, or Lady Constance's sensational dance and then don't be too frank with the truth and mention that her feet in place of being shapely were ungainly and flat.
Walter Wellman, the famous newspaper man, and Jacob Riis, noted as a social worker and writer on the conditions of the poor of New York have been at the University of Missouri this week. They have mingled with the students and faculty and have thus brought the university in closer touch with the world of practical things. Money spent by universities in securing the visits of such men is certainly well spent. In this time when the University of Kansas is trying to follow in the path of modern ideas of education it would be well for the University to emulate the example of other large schools of the country and get more closely in touch with what is going on in the world through the medium of men who are noted for doing things rather than philosophising on things.
The "group system" is about to be adopted at Washburn according to the Washburn Review which says: "Merrill Templeton, the new president of the Juniors, in his inaugural address, says: 'The class must have more social functions.' He proposes the 'group system,' each boy taking a number of girls, when socials are planned."
Did you ever notice that those university organizations that place the financial responsibility
on one man usually come out at the end of the year with money in the treasury while the ones where every one in the organization stands the responsibility there is a deficit at the end of the year. If you have not noticed it look at the two dramatic clubs in the University.
Professor Bryant says he does dot agree with The Kansan in regard to the highness of living expenses here, which proves conclusively that The Kansan does not agree with Professor Bryant.
Did it ever occur to you that when a popular girl goes to all the fraternity parties she considers it a compliment when she receives an invitation to none of the sorority parties.
One of the professors in the University says the books in the library are catalogued according to their binding.

PICTURES ARE APPRECIATED
ART LOVERSHAVE FAVORITES IN THE EXHIBIT.
Lawrence Artists are Represented by Several High Class Paintings.
"I think its the cutest thing I ever saw." "Oh, isn't it just too cunning!" "Oh the dear little thing!" These are a few of the remarks occasioned by the painting in the art exhibit, entitled "Unrepentant." On the floor with a doll in her hand, sits a little child in a pouting spell. No sign of repentance is to be seen in her determined face. In M. H. Bancroft's "Nancy," a young girl has thrown a book to the floor, and with folded hands, she stands as if to defy the world. In her face one can see a look of mingled anger, indignation and determination.
Professor W. A. Griffith has six productions in the exhibit. They are "The Silver Birch," "The Farmer's Dock," "Northport Point," "Rocky Point," "The Swede's Dock"and "Moonlight."

OPEN DAY AND NIGHT
F. M. Benedict of Lawrence has four paintings in the collection, two of which are Kaw scenes, "Sunset on the Kaw at Floodtime" receives much praise. Katherin Crew and Florence Herrington, both of Lawrence, are also represented in the exhibit.
One of the pictures that is proving to be the most popular is "The Ancient Mariner," a sea scene by Wm. E. Norton. The painting is based on the poem of the same name. An albatros is to be seen in dim outlines and on the ship a mariner is drawing his cross-bow. This painting is one of the most valuable in the collection, its price being $3,000. "Bryant Park at Evening" is another picture which is being well received. "The Gold Fish," "The Log in the River," and "The Broken Contract" are others which are very popular with the visitors. Great admiration is also expressed for the "Unrepentant."
The attendance at the exhibit was large yesterday. However most of the visitors were down-town people. Unless further arrangements are made the exhibit will close on Saturday.
Coach Halliday of Cornell Would Be Easier on Forward Pass.
Coach Morris Halliday of Cornell in a recent plea to the Cornell football rules committee gave it as his opinion that the 15 yard penalty for unsuccessful forward passing is too much. The forward pass, declares the eastern coach, is a valuable innovation in football science but that its use is limited and the best teams are successful in its use but a small part of the time.
WITHSTOOD TEST
Are Examining Pickles.
PENALTY TOO SEVERE.
PROF. BLAKE'S SUBMARINE SIGNALS SATISFACTORY.
Pilots can Tell Where They Are by Means of the Electrical Device.
A blindfolded pilot was placed on the ocean going tug, Eugene F. Moran. When four miles out, the bell on the Ambrose Channel lightship was picked up. Until the tug was stopped a few inches from the lightship, the vessel was in perfect control of the blindfolded pilot.
A crucial test has been made of the submarine signal system invented by Prof. L. I. Blake, until recently a member of the faculty of the University of Kansas.
Mr. Wahlin, of the chemistry department, is carrying on a special research upon the composition of pickles with reference to the use of alum and other substances used in curing. A large number of samples of pickles, prepared in different ways, have been obtained and frequent analyses of the ashes are being made.
Ordinary telephone receivers were held to the pilot's ears. The receivers were connected by electric wires with drums attached to the port and starbord sides of the tug on the inside and ten feet below water. The signals were carried through miles of water as well as the sides of the vessel.
The greatest power of the forward pass is not its ground gaining but its effect upon the defense. It compels the opposing team to spread out its secondary defense and thus weakens the line in its power to withstand the tactics of old fashioned football.
Dr. Riley Here Tomorrow.
Dr. Thomas J. Riley, of the Sociology department of the University of Missouri, will be at the University tomorrow and will speak to Professor Blackmar's classes at 1:30 in room 15. Mr. Riley is the director of a school of philanthropy in St. Louis which is conducted by the state university. Mr. Riley may speak in chapel Friday.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FEBRUARY 27.1909
VOLUME V
SENATE PASSED APPROPRIATION
ADOPTED REPORT OF WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE.
House Will Soon Consider Measure and Chances Are Good for Its Passage.
Yesterday the state Senate adopted the recommendation of the senate ways and means committee and granted to the University an appropriation of approximately one million dollars.
The ways and means committee of the House made exactly the same report as did the Senate committee. The House was to act upon the measure this morning but the press of business delayed consideration for some time. The bill may possibly be taken up late this afternoon.
Friends of the University are generally very well satisfied with the bill as recommended by the ways and means committees and as already passed by the Senate. While about $125,000 was cut off of the amount asked for by the University the work of the school will not be seriously hampered. The first wing of the Liberal Arts building, the electrical engineering laboratory and the hospital at Rosedale were the things most needed by the University and they will probably all be granted.
CRITICISE PHI BETA KAPPA.
Michigan and Harvard Would Change Election Methods.
Harvard and Michigan are having trouble about the methods of election to Phi Beta Kappa. At Harvard the method of election has undergone a radical change. No more Harvard men will be chosen simply because they have made high marks. The aim will be to choose the college man of distinction in all lines of University endeavor rather than the grind.
At Michigan the Education Club has criticized Phi Beta Kappa. The contention is that some students get in on "pulls" and that others are barred because they fall down on account of illness. The club recommends that more recognition be given to clear and direct thinking rather than the mere memorizing of facts. Only five percent of the Michigan teachers are in Phi Beta Kappa.
PRIMARIES SOON KANSAN ELECTS NEW BOARD
NEXT TUESDAY THE DATE FOR PARTY NOMINATION.
Professor Carruth Has Walk-Away for Republican Mayoralty Nomination.
The city primary will be held on next Tuesday, March 2. There are several citizens more or less closely associated with the University after nominations for the different city and ward offices.
Vice-Chancellor W. H. Carruth is the only candidate for mayor before the Republicans and will get the nomination without a fight. His real contest will come on April 6, when the city election will be held. The opponent of Professor Carruth at that time will be Sam Bishop, a local attorney and the Independent-Democratic candidate.
The primary registration has been remarkably heavy and the vote will be large. The registration books will be open again after the primaries for the citizens who wish to vote in the city election.
The primary vote from the student body will be very light as few of them are so far registered. The politicians are figuring on a heavy University vote in the final contest.
HACKETT ON SHAKSPERE.
Large Audience for Celebrated Actor Yesterday.
Norman Hackett, the well known actor, spoke yesterday morning upon "Shakspere—His Plays and his Haunts." Mr. Hackett began his lecture by describing vividly and minutely the home of the famous writer in Stratford-on-Avon. He pictured the attractive and interesting features of the surroundings which Shakspere pictured in his works.
In speaking of the drama in universities, Mr. Hackett said, "Greater attention should be paid to the drama. Those of Shakspere should be produced in every school. An original opera should be given, as well as plays in every language."
Mr. Hackett urged the students not to allow the English language to gradually sink into degeneracy, as he believes it is doing. He says it takes no more time to pronounce a word correctly than incorrectly and it sounds much better.
Mr. Hackett is considered one of the greatest of the young actors of today. He was a classmate of Prof.C.H.Gray at the University of Michigan.

A U. of K. MAN
RICHARD A. BALLANGER TO BE SECRETARY OF INTERIOR.
Attended the University '77-'78 Commissioner of General Land Office for Last Two Years.
Richard A. Ballanger, a former student of the University and now a prominent lawyer of Seattle, Washington, is to be appointed Secretary of the Interior by President-elect Taft. For the past two years he has been commissioner of the General Land Office under Secretary of the Interior Garfield.
Mr. Ballanger came to the University from Larned in the fall of '77. He remained in school here one year then he went to Washburn where he stayed another year. He was prominent in athletics at both of these schools being a baseball player of ability. From Washburn he went to Williams where he was graduated in '84. After he finished college Mr. Ballanger went to Seattle, Washington, where he began practicing law. He was successful and is well known on the Pacific coast as a lawyer.
Secretary Garfield, Judge Pierce of Salt Lake City, and Richard Ballanger were graduated from Williams the same year. They were all fast friepds and incidentally men of character. When Garfield was appointed Secretary of the Interior he recommended these two men to fill the most important places under his supervision. It was due to his efficient work as Commissioner of the General Land Office that Mr. Ballanger is to receive his appointment. In speaking of Mr. Ballanger Professor Miller said that he was a splendid student and a fine young man. Further, that his success has been due to his thorough prosecution of everything he undertakes. Judge Pierce was also in a way connected with Kansas. His wife was a student here in the early days.
Concerning his career before entering the University the Lawrence Journal says that he was for two years a deputy clerk and then a deputy treasurer in his home county. While acting as deputy treasurer he exposed an official for appropriating county funds to his own use.
Bess David, a sophomore in the college, is sick with the pleurisy at her home at Bonner Springs.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 27,1909
THE KANSAN IN NEW HANDS TUESDAY.
Today the outgoing editors of The Kansan take their adien with few regrets, but a trail of pleasant memories, as well as other kinds of memories. The retiring board knows The Kansan is left in confident hands, and that its growth during the coming year will be commensurate with the growth of the institution of which it is a part. The Kansan during the past year has probably been a little assertive in its attitude regarding what it believed was right. As a result its editors have made many enemies and some friends. The new board, which takes charge of Tuesday's issue, promises to take the same interest in affairs of the University regardless of the number of animosities that are sure to arise.
Professor R. K. Duncan in his report on the work of the University of Wisconsin says there is a spirit of emulation among faculty members. A faculty member's standing depends upon the amount of creative work he performs. His colleagues and the university encourage him to devote his efforts to the upbuilding of the university and are pleased to give him credit for all he does. From this statement of the spirit that prevails at Wisconsin the University of Kansas might learn a much needed lesson. Whether it is owing to the excessive spirit of democracy that prevails in Kansas or to some less creditable motive, it is sure that the standing of one connected with the University of Kansas depends upon the obscurity he enjoys. A member of the faculty who decided to leave here not so long ago stated that one of his reasons was that there was too much depreciation of the services of those who were anxious to do something for the University. There are three or four members in the faculty now whose popularity has about reached a minimum with the other faculty members, and the only apparent reason is that they have received too much notoriety because of valuable work they have done for the University.
This spirit of course is not confined to the faculty, but is
seen among the student body. To be countenanced in the University of Kansas one must be obscure. The approval of others is bought at the price of inaction, fossilization and petrification. As a result of this attitude of the University, faculty members and students are afraid to be assertive, afraid to go ahead and say, and do, and think as they please. Especially on the part of the faculty would it be suicide for one of their number to put himself forward even if he deserved to be put forward. Counterfeit modesty, affectation are as a result noticeable on every hand. While all these actions have their humorous side, they also have a serious side. It is amusing to see a faculty committee quarreling because one of its number has become too positive in his action and has got out of step, it is amusing to watch a class "sit down" on a candidate for president of the class just because he had conducted the business of the class too well the previous year, but the deleterious effect of such a spirit on the University is only too apparent. Democracy gone mad is nothing but stagnation.

Talked Art of Living in Chapel.
The Rev. Samuel Garvin, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Kansas City, Kansas who spoke after Mr. Ward and before Mr. Hackett yesterday in chapel characterized himself as one "crucified between two actors." His subject was the "Evolution of a Saint" and he spoke in a very forceful, dramatic manner. He showed that religion had been a matter of development, and that between the crude worship of the ancient savage, and the modern devotion a wide gulf exists. The mind can only grasp a certain amount at a time, and God's revelation is going on from day to day. Referring to the speech of Mr. Ward, he said, "If in Shakespeare you find the secret of oratory, in the masters of revelation as set down in the great Book you learn the sublime art of living. His plea was to have an ideal, and through effort to "put the iron and oak into the soul" and thus attain one's end.

SPOKE TO JOURNALISTS.
Miss Florence Welch Told of Society Reporting.
Miss Florence Welch, society editor of the Topeka Daily Capital, spoke to the Journalism classes, Friday morning. Her subject dealt with the duties of a society reporter, together with the obstacles necessary to be overcome in making the work a success.
"If you don't intend to follow newspaper work permanently," said Miss Welch, "don't enter it. When once you get the newspaper germ, its hard to be rid of it. The work is fascinating and it is almost impossible to leave it.
Miss Welch told of many of her experiences in the newspaper business. She believes that every one receives setbacks when first entering the business but that integrity will win. As advice to new reporters, she said: "Do not allow yourself to think of your personal feelings, for you will have them hurt if you do. Try to think yourself a part of the newspaper and learn to take people as they are."
FREDERICK WARD IN CHAPEL.
Noted Shakespearean Actor Spoke to Students.
Frederick Ward, for thirty-eight years a Shaksperean actor, and the greatest exponent of Shakespeare at the present time, spoke in chapel Friday morning. He has been lecturing for the last four years, and was secured for the city lecture course for Thursday evening.
Mr. Ward's remarks yesterday morning were confined to the debt students owe for their education, and how they can best pay this debt. They can do this best, he says, by taking an active part in the political life of the country. The student's great aim should be, then, to prepare himself to express what he desires to say forcibly and with emphasis.
Mr. Ward took paraphrases from Shakespeare to show the shallowness of affectation in speech. For a model of oratory he again went to Shakespeare, rendering Brutus's address to the Roman Populace, and Portia's appeal before the Duke of Venice. He said the secret of oratory is simplicity of words and the use of brief, convincing sentences.
Prof. W. C. Hoad and Prof. F. H. Billings were in Atchison last Thursday to make bacteriological tests of the water preparatory to the installation of a new water system in that city. The water in use at present has been unsatisfactory and the Atchison council is seeking to force the water company to put in new equipment and improve the water supply.

PICTURE EXHIBITION A WEEK LONGER.
The manager of the picture exhibit has decided to retain the paintings for Lawrence one week longer than the original date for their departure. Instead of closing today, the exhibit will be open until March 6.
So far the exhibition has not paid expenses. Early in the month, bad weather kept the art lovers at home, and only in the past week have the crowds been what they should be. Professor Griffith decided to hold the collection one week longer because many people had been unable to visit the exhibit as many times as they wished. Next week the collection will be open to the public every day and every evening until 10 o'clock.
The students have not been attending the picture show as they should. The majority of the attendants come from the down town people.
PENSION BILL IN NEBRASKA.
Not Likely that Measure Will Be Sanctioned.
The Nebraska legislature is now discussing the advisability of allowing professors in the state institutions to enjoy the benefits of the Carnegie pension. The committee in the house which considered the measure was adverse to extending the privileges to state teachers lest they should lose their independence. Mr. Bryan was largely responsible for this attitude of the committee.
The bill was not killed in committee, however, and was given to the house for discussion. It is generally believed that the legislature will kill the measure.
Verein Meeting Monday.
A very important business meeting of the German Verein will be held Monday, March 1. Every member should be present.

Mark Catlin, football coach of the University of Iowa, has resigned and will take up the practice of law.
One of the greatest menaces to scholastic standards at Cambridge, according to the view of the Harvard authorities, has been the number of intercollegiate contests. In the plan of reform it was first proposed to wipe out all sports from the close of the football season to the spring recess. This was not carried out but a material reduction in the schedules of the various teams was made. The basketball schedule has been cut in half.
The feature of the Chicago A. A. track meet in Bartlett gymnasium, Chicago University, was the breaking of the world's indoor pole vault record by Claire S. Jacobs with a vault of 12 feet 3 inches.
The Minne-Ha-Ha, published at Minnesota University, is planning for sweet revenge on some of the professors who have hae a black list for the students. This paper will soon publish a black list of all those professors so the students may shun them in future.
California and Stanford Universities have decided not to grant the varsity letter to basket ball players on the ground that it would cheapen the insignia.
"Dick" Kaufman Here.
"Dick" Kaufman, who coached our baseball team last season, arrived here Friday morning from his home at Marshfield, Missouri. Mr.Kaufman is on the pitching staff of the Louisville team in the American Association and he intends to stay here a few days for a workout in the "gym." While here he will be a guest at the German Club and will give the baseball squad some pointers.
Developing the "Champeens."
Unusual interest is being shown this year in wrestling, and daily the local mat artists are trying their skill in the padded room in the "gym." Within a few weeks a wrestling bout will be staged between the freshmen and the sophomores. This contest is sure to bring out many who are adept at the "Nelson bar lock" and are doped to be the successors to Champion Gotch and "Farmer' Burns.

The Kansan Incorrect, Says Chemistry Department.
To the Editor of The Kansan:
The Chemistry Department begs leave to correct some errors that have crept into your article on "Flunks" in the last issue. Your figures give too small a number for the enrollment of College and Engineering students in the Department. From your data, there were 183 engineers and 140 college students—a total of 323, whereas there were 444 enrollments in these two schools. By combining together the failures and conditions, you give a very erroneous impression, because with us, the larger part of the conditions are due to unpaid bills. For the protection of the University, the grades are withheld and conditions reported.
The percentage of failures and of conditions, involving additional work on the part of the student, is really small, not only for the Department as a whole, but also for the most difficult of our courses. You mentioned specifically Chemistry I and II, and in both cases are in error. In Chemistry I, there were among the College students 12 failures and no conditions, as against your statement of 34 conditions and failures. You say that only engineers take Chemistry II, which is incorrect, as there were 51 College students in the class. Out of a total enrollment of 179 in the course, there were 18 failures—10 per cent. of the whole—and 11 conditions, which involved as much work as taking another quiz. Of these 11 conditions, 3 were given at the requests of the students, because of their inability to complete their work on time, owing to sickness, etc.
The grade in Chemical Club is based entirely upon attendance, which is compulsory for chemical engineers. It is a well recognized fact that students put off as long as possible the writing of technical reports. Those neglecting to hand them in at the proper time would have to be classed among the failures. E.H.S.BAILLEY.
The above statement of the number of failures in the Chemistry department corrects some of the details of a story that appeared in The Kansan. On behalf of The Kansan, it may be stated that this explanation denies none of the essential features of The Kansan story. Professor Bailey states that there were only 12 failures of college students in Chemistry I, as against The Kansan's statement of 34. But the other 22 were pharmacy students. So it is in many cases—just a question of classifying the flunks.
Professor Bailey states that the larger majority of conditions are for unpaid bills. It would be interesting to have the exact number of students who were conditioned for this unusual reason. The Kansan will later make a more detailed investigation of the question of "flunks."-Editor.
