WHAT'S STATUS OF FOOTBALL?
ROOTERS THINK GAME IS STILL IN DANGER.
By Terms of Regents' Resolution the Game May Be Abolished Automatically.
Where does football stand? Just what are its status and its prospects at the University of Kansas? These are questions that claim the attention of the adherents of the game.
There was a feeling of relief among the rooters Saturday. The general impression was that football had been "saved" by a resolution adopted by the Board of Rentals, after Regent Gleed's motion to abolish the game had been lost in a tie vote. But, since that time, some of the football adherents have been pondering on the resolution presented by Regen Hopkins to take the place of Mr Gleed's motion to abolish the game. They think the resolution which was adopted is not much more friendly to football than the one which perished.
Regent Hopkins' resolution in full is as follows:
"The Board of Regents is opposed to the game of football as now conducted, believing that it does not tend to clean athletics for which the game is maintained in a university. To this end the Chancellor is directed to extend an invitation to the heads and governing boards of the other educational institutions in the Missouri Valley Conference to meet this board at Kansas City, or at some other convenient point at an early date, to confer upon and take permanent action in regard to the betterment of the present game. If that cannot be accomplished, to require the adoption of the rules governing the Rugby game in the Missouri Valley Conference, or in case that cannot be done to abolish football as an intercollegiate game in our university life."
If for any reason the conference is not held, or the members of it do not agree, the board will try to have the rules of the Rugby game adopted in the Missouri valley. If that falls through, then good-bye to football—that is, the resolution adopted by the Regents says it will be abolished. If nothing whatever is done, then by the terms of the resolutions football will automatically be abolished.
A careful reading shows that the whole fate of football rests on the matter of holding a conference of Missouri valley schools and bringing about a change in the rules that will be satisfactory to the governing bodies of all the schools.
The feeling is general among the student body that the game is not in danger; but this feeling is not shared in all quarters.
"If the students and football fans think of this matter in the
NUMBER 50
light of a joke, if they think there is really no opposition to the game, if they think the two Regents who voted to abolish football were just bluffing, then they mistake entirely the temper of the movement which is behind the action in the Regents' meeting Friday. "
This was the utterance of a member of the faculty, himself a zealous supporter of the gridiron game. He was genuinely concerned over the football outlook; and said on Sunday morning that he had not yet recovered from the scare which the news of the Regents' action had given him
There is some speculation as to what effect the action of the Regents will have on the Kansas City stadium plans. Will the stadium promoters invest $100,000 in a scheme which depends for its support on a game that is in as precarious shape as football is here now? It has been suggested that the stadium agitation hastened the action of the Regents; that they felt that the game could be better regulated at present or its merits, than it can aftec. $100,000 investment becomes a factor in its regulation.
WON FROM HASKELL.
Freshmen Took Game From Redskin Y. M. C. A., 34-25.
The freshmen defeated the Haskell Indian Y. M. C. A. team at Haskell Saturday night, 34 to 25. In the first half the tyros ran away from their opponents, the score at the end of that time being 24 to 7.
In the second period all the Indians first team but Means were in the game and the first year men had their troubles. The braves carried away the honors, 18 to 10.
Howard and Daussman were stars for the freshmen. Goodeagle and Ireland played the best game for the warriors.
WILL THEY HOLD THE PARTY NOW?
There are no classes at the gym this week and Dr. Naismith has requested that each one have his gym suit laundered. "The sanitary condition of the lockers is not as good as it should be," said Dr. Naismith, and each man should make it an individual matter to keep his locker clean."
Winfield Scott, who was president of last year's senior law class, and Miss Bessie Quick of Lawrence, were married last night, at the residence of Rev. W. W. Bolt, of the First Congregational church, who performed the ceremony.
Wash-Day at the Gym.
New shelves are being placed along the north wall of the zoological library in Snow hall and all the books are being rearranged to make room for the two hundred new volumes,which were received last week.

"IF THEY'RE WISE THEY WONT"—CHANCELLOR.
Old Men Oppose Party—Delta Sigma Lineal Descendant of T. N. E.
"I have not issued an order forbidding the holding of the party to be given February 11 at Ecke's hall. I do not intend to issue such an order; but if the young men who are contemplating giving the party are wise, they will not give it," said Chancellor Strong today, when asked regarding the rumor that he had issued an order forbidding the party.
It is not known definitely as yet whether the party will be given or not. But it is understood that the old members of Theta Nu Epsilon—the men who were members prior to April 19, 1907, when the Regents disbanded the organization—will do what they can to prevent the holding of the party. These men hesitate somewhat to take this step, since it may give the impression that they are still connected with the organization However, they declare that such is not the case.
"Delta Sigma," the mysterious organization which rented Ecke's hall for the party, was organized about a month ago. It is pretty definitely known that Delta Sigma has for its members men who abbandoned T. N. E. on the same day that Delta Sigma was formed.
Last night one Greek letter society of the University passed a ruling that its members could not become members of T. N. E. Most of the other fraternities have had such a ruling since April 10, 1907
For an organization that does not exist, T. N. E. seems to have many friends. Even in the faculty it has some. It was only yesterday that a member of the faculty came to the Kansan office to protest against the "untimely action which the Kansan has taken against Theta Eu Epsilon." He said the Kansan ought to print both sides,—that the side of T. N. E. had not been presented. The Kansan is willing to print T. N. E.'s side of the controversy if T. N. E. will give it.

A member of the Normal faculty bought a $40 lingerie suit of underthings yesterday at one of the white sales, which confirms the report that she is to be married in March to a man who used to attend the school.—Emporia Gazette.
THE WEATHER
Fair tonight and Wednesday; colder tonight.
POST-EXAM JUBILEE
A Mock Registration and Enrollment Will Be the Feature.
Unless all signs fail, the entertainment planned for the post-exam jubilee Saturday night in the gymnasium will go far to offset any anguish which the students have experienced during the week. They do say that the mock enrollment and registration performance to be pulled off at that time is calculated to drive dull care away for days to follow.
Freshmen Win Track Meet.
If you go you will be given a chance to re-experience all the delights of beginning a new term's work without having to pay matriculation or laboratory fees. To be sure the registrar or his facsimile will be there, but any freshman with his high school diploma will be perfectly safe. Yes, you will also have to interview the dean, but he, too, will have just passed through quiz week and so will be in good humor. And remember the faculty advisors, those patient, persevering au thorities on the proper course for you to take. Once again you have the opportunity to consult then in regard to your well-being for the future. Surely, surely, such an oegeasion cometh not again—no before next year, at least.
In the track meet Saturday afternoon the College freshmen came out ahead of the Lawrence high school, 72 to 41. Jones of the high school won 18 points for his team taking first in the high jump and in the low hurdles and broad jump and second in the pole vault. Sterling Hisle and Gribble were the star performers for the freshmen.
No Varsity Game This Week.
There will be no Varsity bas ket-ball game this week because of the quizzes. Instead the fresh men will meet the Newton high school five on Friday afternoon.
Number 2, volume 5 of the Science bulletin is being arranged now for publication. It will consist in the main of paper and plates from the zoology department. Mr. Roy Moodie will have a paper on the "Amphibia, as Shown in the Shales of Mayon Creek, Illinois." This comes as a result of the investigation of the specimens loaned him some time ago by Yale University.
Zella Mitchel, who left school in the middle of her senior year, in '08, will return next term and complete the College course.
C. C. Merillat, of Winfield, Ia. of the law class of '09, is visiting at the Phi Delta Phi house.
THE SENIORS ARE TOO SLOW
ARE NOT GETTING PICTURES IN FOR ANNUAL.
Organization Pictures Have Been Received—This Year's Book to Be a Hummer.
Despite the many warnings which have been given the seniors during the past several weeks, a found missing today when the last large majority of them were day of grace had passed and as a result only a few pictures of the fourth-year students are now in the hands of the editor of the Annual. Thus far the majority of the pictures of members of organization have reached the editor but seniors have been extremely dilatory in the matter.
"This hesitation on the part of the students is causing us an endless amount of trouble," said Editor Spotts this morning. "Unless more pictures come in soon the Annual will be delayed in publication and will not be ready for distribution at the time of the senior play."
When asked as to what he intended to do regarding the time limit after which pictures will not be received, Spotts said that the final date had not been agreed upon, although no further time of grace should be given. However, photographs are still being received and the editor will allow all the time possible in order to get the largest number of pictures of seniors into the book.
The Annual, with respect to all other departments, is perhaps farther advanced than ever before at this time of the year. The entire book is outlined and is practically ready for the make-up man. The art work this year will be a feature and those who know say that never before has that department been so rich.
The first copy for the book goes to press on Saturday. It will include the faculty and University buildings divisions. The annual this year is to be printed by the Union Bank Note and Lithograph company of Kansas City.
A FISH WITH LEGS.
Believed to Be a Missing Link in Animal Life.
Bloomington, Ind., Jan. 28.—Dr. John Haseman, on an exploring trip in South America for the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburg, has discovered the missing link in animal life between the salamander and the fish, according to a dispatch received by Dr. Karl Eigman, head of the Indiana University zoological department. At the junction of the Rio Negro and the Amazon rivers near Manaos, Brazil, the explorer says he recently found a fish with rudimentary legs.

TUESDAY, FEB. 1, 1910.
To hear the roar that is going up in certain quarters concerning the stories of the alleged existence of the T. N. E. fraternity at the University, one would be led to believe that there are some members of the frat in this school. No one has any reason to complain unless he is a member of T. N. E.—and then his reasons are rather meager. If T. N. E. does not exist then there is no one to defend the fraternity and hence no one to get angry at any stories that may be printed.
Of all the Kansas rooters William Allen White and J. Willis Gleed seem to have taken last Thanksgiving's defeat the hardest. They are so far the only ones who have suggested the abolition of the game as the only way to keep Missouri from Defeating Kansas, say once every seven years. If the two regenets will only have patience until next Turkey day Kansas will drub Misouri so thoroughly that they will want to keep the game forever.
The action of the regents in attempting to abolish football has, at least, opened up a political issue. If some candidate should announce himself for governor, and promise, if elected, to fill up vacancies on the Board of Regents with Coach Kennedy, "Shorty" Hammil, "Tub" Reed, Prentiss Donald, Bert Pooler, and Al Hicks, he would carry the "sporting" vote almost to a man. All prospective candidates please copy and ponder this.
Regent Gleed says that it is not in the province of the University to develop prize-fighters. We take it that he is not interested in bringing the heavyweight championship back to the white race.
Professor Harger Spoke.
Professor C. M. Harger of the department of journalism, made an address at the celebration of the Kansas Day club of Denver Col., Saturday evening. The banquet was held at the Aud' orium hotel. The reunion was one of the most enthusiastic and successful ever held by the Kansas colony in Denver.
Baseball training has begun at California University. Practice games are to be played three times a week.
KICK COLMUN.
To the Editor of the Kansan.
While at the senior class party last Friday evening I was strongly reminded of the "dear old farm" with its various ruminants. This reminence was revived by the sight of several of our young "ladies" vigorously kneading a wad of gum between their pearly teeth. After the dance many couples went to one of the near-by cafes. Several had been served and were eating when one young "gentleman" who had not been so fortunate proceeded to enjoy (?) himself by smoking a cigarette while seated at the table. Perhaps a course in social etiquette would be of greater benefit to some of our' 'students' than geology, botany or some similar subject. I ask your indulgence in the promiseenous use of the words ladies, gentlemen, and student in the above.

THE REGENTS AND I GAME
It came to pass, one wintry day,
There must in Lawrence town
The Board of Regents. Stern were they,
And gloomily did frown.
First up spake William Allen White.
He of Emporia town,
Said he "This football game is fierce.
He of Emporia town,
We ought to put it down.
We ought to put it. Why, I once knew a man who knew
A boy who had a friend.
Whose cousin broke his leg there-
by:
I're really ought to end.
Some time some one might get hurt here:
It really ought to end.
A boy who had a friend,
It might occur some day;
Come, brothers! let us put it down
'Well said! well said!" the re-
cords eried
Let's do it right away."
"Such games ought not to be."
Then there arose J.Willis Gleed—
"Bill Allen's right," cried he;
"I know of a sad incident.
That in my hearth doth rankle
My office boy's small brother once
In that way sprained his ankle," "Terrible! Terrible!" cried the Board,
And swayed in mute despair. While William Allen paced the room,
And tore his scanty hair.
"And shall we raise up pugilists? Nay, nay," quoth Willis Gleed.
More Enots of Harvard Is Kansas' crying need.
Let's down these brutal tendencies That threaten our fair school ;
Let's make them intellectual,
And let Minerva rule.
O brethren, it would be.
Could five-foot shelves be put out.
How beautiful, how beautiful,
how beautiful it would be.
"Beautiful idea, lovely thought," Cedid William Allen White.
Let's star this intellectual dope.
I feel thirsty we might.
Bill Allen voted with his friend. The others voted my.
By all the 'Varsity."
Let's thrust the fifth game away
'Tis time that football died.
I really think we might.
I make this resolution then.
And thus the brutal game sur vived.
Cited Written Work When
'Let's star this intellectual dope.
And liveeth to this day.
And yet, perhaps, the day will come
J. Willis loudly cried,
And liveth to this day.
When they'll put football on the buye
In some far distant year,
And raise young Eliots here.
The sophomores took charge of the assembly one morning at Oregon University and gave an ap propriate program.
SHELDON AT VESPERS.
Dr. Charles M. Sheldon made a helpful talk at the vesper services Sunday afternoon in regard to meeting the doubts with which some people are troubled. The large crowd present also enjoyed the anthem by the chorus, "Lovely Appears," from Gounod's Redemption.
Tells About Meeting Doubts Troubling Some People.
The vesper chorus meets for practice this week at 7 o'clock on Thursday evening and at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Students who wish to sing in "The Cruelifixion," to be given soon, should join the chorus at once.
ROOMS FITTED UP.
Research Workers Are in Their New Quarters.
The rooms in the basement of the Chemistry building, which were remodeled early in the year for the industrial fellows, have recently been fitted up and are now occupied by the fellows. All kinds of apparatus for research work has been installed. The men who will occupy the rooms are Mr. Mackey, who is working with cement; Mr. Friedot, who is working with borax; Mr. Fague, who is working with cosein, and Mr Tillotson, who is working with glass.
Will Give Concert.
The University orchestra is practicing in preparation for a concert which they intend to give next month. A novel feature of this program will be the rendition of "Miserve," by a quartet of voices with orchestra accompaniment.
Miss Edna Gafford was called to her home in Topeka Saturday by the severe illness of her mother. Later reports say that Mrs. Gaford died Sunday afternoon. Her death was caused by pneumonia.
Given More Honor.
Prof. Morse, head of the violin department in this University, is achieving marked success in his work in Kansas City. He has been asked by Carl Busch, the famous Kansas City composer and publisher, to furnish two numbers on a Norwegian program, which the latter is going to give soon. This is a singular honor for Mr. Morse to be asked to play at this time and shows that he is considered by good musicians to be among the best in Kansas City.
As "Dod Gaston" Sees It.
"The fate of football depends upon the rules committee," says the dispatches. Wrong. The fate of football hangs on the people who pay the money to see the games and there should be some care taken not to "sissyize" it. Topeka Capital.
To Become an Instructor.
J. Wilbur Jones, a senior in the college, withdrew from school today to assume the work of instructor in English in the Kansas City, Kan., high school for the remainder of the year. Mr. Jones has his course in the University in such condition that he expects to secure his degree yet this year at the close of the summer session.
Copy Has Been Sent.
Copy for both the summer session catalog and the regular 1909-1910 catalog was sent to the state printer at Topeka this morning. The former will be given the right of way and should be ready for distribution in about two weeks.

HELD MANY CELEBRATIONS
ALUMNI
STUDENTS AND ALUMNI TOOK PROMINENT PARTS.
Wherever Kansas Day Banquets Were Held the University Was Well Represented.
The forty-ninth anniversary of the admission of Kansas into the Union was celebrated with banquets and after-dinner speeches last Saturday evening in many cities in the country. Loyal Kansans gathered to tell their love for the state, whether they were still within its borders or whether they were of the large number of formerly of Kansas men, who are making good in other parts of the United States.
The gathering at Topeka was the only one where politics was distinctly planned as part of the program. It was under the auspices of the Kansas Day club which is an organization to promote Republicanism which thus met for its nineteenth annual banquet on Saturday evening. A.M. Ebright of the Law School represented the Republicans of the University on the program by a speech entitled "The Young Republics." He spoke of the interest with which the young men of the party had studied its past history and were especially interested in its status at the present time.
While recognizing the testing which that party was receiving from the controversy within its ranks, Mr. Ebright expressed the pride of young Republicans in their political parentage and their confidence in the ability of its leaders. Prof. W. L. Burdick, I. N. Williams, and Gordon Badger of the Law School and several other students from the University attended the banquet. Many alumni from over the state were present, among whom the candidates for congressional honors were especially prominent.
Chancellor Strong was among the prominent Kansans who spoke at the first annual banquet of the Kansas Society of Chicago By their united efforts they again definitely decided that there is nothing the matter with Kansas.
The University is also especially interested in the gathering of ex-Kansans held at Denver, because Charles M. Harger, director of the work in journalism, was a guest and made one of the principal addresses of the evening. He spoke in appreciation of the also referred to the share Kansans state's agricultural resources and have in keeping things interesting at the national capital.
T. B. Ford, '04, president of the Washington alumni chapter of the alumni chapter of the University, who is now with the United States Bureau of Standards, was one of the speakers at the celebration in Washington, D.C. A Kansas club with more than two hundred members was organized during the evening.
In New York city the chief speaker at the Kansas celebration was Justice David J. Brewer of the United States supreme court, history and were now especially but formerly an attorney practicing law in Kansas. Henry J. Allen, the versatile Wichita editor, spoke in praise of Roosevelt and in praise of the Kansas insurgents.
On the Pacific coast many formerly of Kansas people now live Many of them attended and took part in the enthusiastic celebra

MICHIGAN'S FOOD PROBLEM
At Ann Arbor, Hash Is Getting Frequent.
High prices still prevail in Ann Arbor and the boarding house owners are in despair. Shall they raise prices of board or lower the standard of living? This, to them is a much mooted question, as great, in fact, as to the students. Of course it naturally grieves the worthy proprietors to raise the prices, for they appear to care "in the students with a truly maternal affection. This is the chief reason why they cherish to tenderly the old adage, "Plain living and high thinking," says the Michigan Daily.
To an interested and impartial observer there is but one answer to the above questions. It is manifestly impossible to lower the standard of living much more without causing howls of ingress nation from the students who desire at least one square meal a day. It is not necessary to look into the market columns of a daily paper to discover price fluctuations in An Arbor. It is much easier to observe the fluctuation of hash, hot dogs and that wonderful concoction known as meat pie. These are even surer signs than the market reports.
Ever since Thanksgiving the old Ann Arbor standby, hash, has been working overtime. This was first noticed by the man who writes the daily menus on the oilcloth under the linen. His announcement was greeted by grunts, which signified that the fact had been duly observed and registered. Then came meat pie and hot dogs in such profusion that a freshman remarked that the proprietor must have become imbued with John D. Rockefeller tendencies.

Some are seriously debating whether they will stand for a rise in prices. Isn't it better to board in a more informal manner, eating "frapped hay" in the morning lunching off a soggy hamburger and then capping the day with some tenderloin of beef, a la Joe's? If there really is an increase in the price of board many will choose the latter alternative to the long suffering hash, which smiles sadly and displays all the wiles of an old friend when you meet it for the third consecutive time in two days.
James Bulline Hackman
This conclusion is totally erroneous, for the boarding house proprietor is not in the business for gain derived but merely for the purpose of properly equipping youthful intellects with the proper start in life. Thus must be so, for have they not repeatedly sworn the same to us since the memory of the first head of the establishment, who sucumbed to the hash.
Eggs have been selling at such prohibitive prices that even the cold storage variety of the 1906 vintage have soared away above the heads of ordinary mortals. Eggs are served only once or twice a week in most places and not at all in others. In fact eggs are getting so scarec and so much prized that they threaten to displace the currency as a medium of exchange. Hereafter, Bull Durham and beer will be sold not by the nickel's worth but by the egg's worth. One man in this town has a collection of six eggs, saved from rush-time, and he is fast becoming one of the campus idobecause of his enormous wealth.
The compressed pound steak is another sure sign of a raise in the price of food stuffs. To prepare round steak, a lo Ann Aabor, is one of the fine culinary arts, and cafes and hotels in other cities threaten to send their chefs to our boarding houses for instructions. A piece of steak about the size of a dollar, is expanded through pounding until it nearly covers a large diner plate. Of course the surface is perforated by large holes, but this gives it a very artistic appearance. The "studes" fail to appreciate it, but then, this it to be expected for several faculty members of late have forcibly told their classes that the American is unappreciative of art and perfect form whether in literature or any other walk of life It would take a Frenehman to appreciate this chef-d'oeuvre of the Ann Arbor kitchen.
Just what is causing the rise in the price of food stuffs is known only to a few. The favored one are the embryo political economists who are saving their knowledge for the impending examinations, fearful of not being able to finish their explanation before that time should they be so indiscreet as to inform anyone now.

GLEE CLUB WILL SING IN KANSAS TOWNS.
Twelve Singers the Director and Accompanist Will Make the Trip - To Visit New Towns.
The University Glee club will leave Monday morning on its regular spring concert tour. As usual, the trip will consist of a week of single night concerts in Kansas towns.
Abilene, Salina, Ellsworth, Lindsborg, Emporia, and Alma are the towns to be visited. In speaking of the trip today, Forde the manager of the club, said "With the exception of Emporia none of the towns on the trip this spring have ever been visited by the Glee club before. The aim has been, as far as possible, to make the advertising that naturally accrues to the University, as great as possible."
The club has an array of talent this year that has hardly been equaled in any of the former years. The concerts will be along the line of the program given by the club in chapel before Christ mas.
The following men will go on the trip :
First tenors, Hesser, Campbell Buxton; second tenors, Dodge Conley, MacAdams; first basses Marshall, Brigham, Perkins; second basses, Power, Rhodes, and Forde. Professor Hubach, as director and William Kates as accompanist, will complete the number.
The students of the University of Michigan also want a new song to take the place of the old songs now in use. The student council has offered a prize of $50 to the student or alumnus writing the best song.

STURBS ENDOWS FELLOWSHIPS
KANSAS GOVERNOR TO AID MEDICAL SCIENCE.
E. Roy Weidlein Will Study Extractives From Lands of Deep Sea Mammals.
Prof. Robert Kennedy Duncan of the department of industrial chemistry announced today that a new industrial fellowship had been established at the University. It will be known as the Stubbs-Grenfell fellowship. It has been established for the purpose of promoting study of the ductless glands of deep-sea mammals. The fellowship will carry an annuity of $666 for a period of one and one-half years. E.Ro Weidlein, A. B. '09, has been nominated to hold the fellowship and has accepted the position. H will enter upon his duties at one
The fellowship was endowed by Governor W. R. Stubbs, for the benefit of Dr. Wilfred Grenfell, the missionary, physician,and lawgiver of Labrador, who lectured at the University two years ago about his work among the people of the northern coast.
The results of the fellowship will, it is expected, be of great value to medical science. At present, extremes from the supra cerea and thyroid glands of lower animals are largely used in medicine and thyamus, pineal and pituitary glands are being experimented upon. The work provided for by the new fellowship will be to study these glands in the whale, walrus and seal, and to determine whether these valuable extracts can be obtained from the glands of the deep-sea mammals. If the investigation prove successful, a new and extensive source of supply will be opened up, with profit to the fishing industries of Labrador. Any financial profit which accrues from the work of the fellowship will, by the terms of the endowment, go to Dr. Grenfell, to be used in his missionary work in Labrador.
E. Roy Weidlein will go work at once on the fellowship Prior to June 1, he will examine and study all the available literature concerning the technique of experimentation on these mammals. He will go to Labrador when navigation opens, about June 1, to spend the summer experimenting with material which Dr. Grenfell will have ready for him when he arrives. There he will study the physiology of the glands of the whale, walrus, and seal, and will be kept busy making all the investigations which can be made better at the seat of the fishing industry than elsewhere. He will return to the University about September 1, with a great mass of material which will be gathered during the summer The rest of the term provided for by the endowment will be spent in studying the extractive from the glands.
The importance of the investigations provided for is recognized by leading physicians of the medical schools of the East, and they
have given the plan of the fel

Some of the most subtle and effective medicines now in use are made from the glands of sheep. From the supra-renal glands made adrenalin which is invaluable for locally cheeking the flow of blood when operations are performed. The extract from the thyroid glands is thyroidin, which is used in remedying defective nutrition.
"The new fellowship is bound at least to yield results of high scientific interest," said Professor Duncan.
There Will Be no Delay in Start ing Classes.
FULL SPEED MONDAY.
"All the University machinery is to be in working order on Monday morning," said Dean Olin Templin today. "Some years ago it was necessary to spend a week's time getting ready for the second term, but with the early enrollment there is no reason why next Monday should be any different from all of the other Mondays of the year. Every professor will meet all of his classes and call the cell as usual. Lessons will be assigned and recitations made as they have during the past term."
The most of this term's reports will be sent to the registrar's office by Saturday. All will be in by Monday. The grades will be recorded and can be obtained by the middle of next week.
SMOKER SATURDAY NIGHT
Greek Letter Men of the University Will Get Together.
The annual Pan-Hellenic smoker will be held on the evening of February5, in the hall over Dick Brothers' drug store. The feature of the event will be the wrestling matches between prominent athletes on the hill. All the contestants in the events are fraternity men. Every man in the University who is a member of a general fraternity is invited to attend.
NOT ASKED TO HELP.
The Athletic Committee has not invited W. W.Roper, the 1909 football coach, to aid in coaching the Tigers during the last two weeks of the next football season, as was reported. Wm. Roper has written to Columbia that he would be glad to come if possible, but no action has been taken toward bringing him back.—University Missouri
No Action Taken Toward Bring ing Roper Back.
Professor F. Adams of the University of Chicago has arrived to take Professor Archibald Hogg's place as assistant professor in philosophy. Professor Hogg will not take up his work again this year nor next, as he has been granted leave of absence on account of ill health.

WHAT! "SANE JOURNALISM"?
RUMORWOULDGIVEUNI VERSITYNEWPAPER.
Publication Will Endeavor to Make a Conservative Review of University Happenings.
Who will constitute the executive and editorial boards of this new publication cannot be definitely said. It has been stated however, that the movement will be sanctioned and aided by members of the faculty and that the actual publication will be done by students.
It is said that the policy of the paper will be founded upon "sane journalism" and will attempt to review conservatively happenings at the University. The sheet will be published either monthly or bi monthly, but arrangement for its publication have not, so far as it yet known, been completed.
The University is to have a new paper, according to a well founded rumor which became current today. Although this rumor was denied, in a way by a number of those who are said to be interested, it is said by others who should know, that the paper is to be launched within a month or even less time.
Rumor has it that Dr. E. H. Schorer, of the department of bacteriology, has become deeply interested in the movement of starting the paper and will be one of the members of the faculty to aid the work of organization. In an interview today with a Kansan reporter, however, Dr. Schorer refused to verify the current rumor
"I know that such a movement has been suggested and planned to a certain extent by the fellows," he said, "but I don't think anything definite has yet been done."
When asked if he was sure that nothing had been done to carry out the plans which have been made, Dr. Schorer replied, "I feel sure that there has not, for if the fellows had done anything they would have consulted me before taking action."
This interview seems to show that the plan of starting the new paper is being strongly considered and that Dr. Sechorer will be one of the faculty members most deeply interested. It cannot be definitely stated who the other faculty members may be nor can names of the students who will be most active, be given at this time.
Track Try-Outs.
The preliminary try-outs for the Baker meet which will be held in Robinson gymnasium February 14 will be held this week. The event to which the most interest is attached, the two-mile, will be held tomorrow afternoon at 4:30. It is expected that twelve men will try out. On Saturday the try-outs for the high hurdles, low hurdles, thirty-yard dash, the half and the pole vault will take place. The first of these events will begin promptly at 3 o'clock.
THE WEATHER.
Fair tonight and Friday; colder tonight.
FROLIC SATURDAY NIGHT.
Success to Be Celebrated or Fail
ure Forgotten at Jubilee.
You will be allowed only a partial use of the elective system when you enroll under the authorities provided for you at the post exam jubilee Saturday night in the gym. Moreover thorough democracy and the large University spirit will be insisted upon by the advisors who determine the course which shall be selected at that time. Engineers and laws will be compelled to go peaceably together to the same class.The Fine Arts girl will associate with the one who is a gun in mathematics. Musical appreciation students will sit beside those who have during the week successfully passed in chemistry II. Those who have specialized in campusology will no descent to talk with the rare mathematicians who know just how to compute the length of the comet's tail.
Another way in which the Saturday night registration will surpass all your previous experiences of that nature is that when you have grown faith with standing in line you may find the refreshments room. You may not give your age or previous condition of servitude; simply appear in the gymnasium Saturday evening and you are dead sure to be enrolled for a good time.
Y. M. C. A. CONVENTION
University Delegates Will Go to
Topeka Next Week.
Among the speakers who are t attend are Dr. Frank Bailey o Denver, Tom Blodgett of Wichita, dr Sanders of Washburn, an Dr. F. L. Thompson of St. Louis.
The state Y. M. C. A. convention will be held in Topeka next week, February 10 to 13. About twenty-five representatives from the University organization will attend this gathering. All registrations must be in the secretary's office before February 7 if entertainment is to be secured.
COURSES NUMBERED ANEW
"I'm Taking Economics 129," Will Sound Great.
A new system of numbering has been adopted in the catalogue for this year. The courses for freshmen and sophomores will be numbered from one up. Those for juniors and seniors, from fifty up, and those for post graduates from a hundred up. This plan will save time as one can tell at a glance what courses belong to each class.
Game Wardens Meet
Prof. L. L. Dyche, state game warden, left yesterday for New Orleans, where he has gone to attend the national convention of game wardens.
On account of quizzes there was no regular meeting of the Y. W. C. A. Wednesday afternoon.
ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN
HAVE FRATERNITIES KEPT THEIR PROMISE?
Chancellor Strong Writes Letters Asking for Information About T N E
T. N. E.
Two hundred and fifty-seven fraternity men of the University received personal letters from Chancellor Strong today, asking that the following questions be answered in writing:
"First: Are you now or have you been since April 10,1907,either officially or unofficially, directly or indirectly, connected with the society or fraternity commonly known as T. N. E., or substantially the same society or group of men under any other name?
"Second: If you have been so connected, by what right or permission, direct or indirect, secret or otherwise, did you connect yourself with such society?"
The eight general fraternities, together with Phi Delta Phi and Acacia, since these two were connected with the agreement made April 10, 1907, were asked by the Chancellor, in letters addressed to the fraternity presidents, to answer the following questions:
"First: Has your chapter, as a chapter, given its consent either officially or unofficially, directly or indirectly, since April 10, 1907, to any member of the chapter joining the fraternity or society commonly known as T. N. E., or substantially the same society or group of men under any other name?
"Second: Has your chapter or any member in it known of members of your chair who have secretly and without the common knowledge of the chapter joined the fraternity or society known as T. N. E., or substantially the same society or group of men under any other name?
"Third: If your chapter, or any member of it, has known o' such secret connection, what have you done about it?"
Chancellor Strong sent out these letters at the request of the Board of Regents, so that they might learn whether the fraternity honor which was pledged April 10, 1907, had been kept.
The party which was to have been given in Ecke's hall February 11, has not been called off by official action of the persons who intended to give it, but it is understood that it will not be held.
At first the party was to have been a small one, and only eighteen or twenty couples were invited. But after the first story about it appeared in The Kansan, the party list was increased to include about thirty couples. Only University people were to attend Some members of the faculty were invited.
Late Train Prevented Lecture.
Prof. C. B. Gulick of Harvard University, who was to have lectured at the University Tuesday afternoon on the Olympic games, was detained at Kansas City by a late train, and did not reach the University in time to speak. He gave his lecture at Washburn last night.

THURSDAY, FEB. 3, 1910.
Laws of a school must be obeyed and reverenced just the same as laws of a state. The Thea Nu Epsilon fraternity in continuing its organization and planning a spring party is violating a rule passed by the Board of Regents almost three years ago. The Chancellor is obliged to see that T. N. E is disorganized and discontinued, and any action that he may take in consequence of any continued violation of the members of the fraternity would not only be justified but absolutely necessary. The members of T. N. E may be among the best students and the finest men in the University. That is no excuse, however, and only makes their actions more inexecutable and depreciatory. The regents have decreed that T. N. E may not exist at this University and nearly all, if not all of the fraternities have passed rulings prohibiting their members from joining T. N. E. In spite of this latter fact, several men have forgotten whatever fealty and obligation they owe to their fraternities and have violated their fraternity ruling and joined T. N. E.. Besides being a law-breaker such a man shows that he has no proper appreciation of his fraternity and the spirit it is supposed to represent. No good fraternity man would disobey the rule of his fraternity and join T. N. E.
The formation of the medical society among the students of the Medical School will add considerably to the strength of that department of University work. The Medical School is now being firmly established and put in a position to develop in the healthiest way. The requirement of two years of college work of medical students proved a slight setback to the medical enrollment. This was expected, but it will be only a few years until the school has regained its lost attendance, with a great addition in the quality of the students. The medical society will further prepare students for their profession by informing them on questions that are ordinarily not brought up in the classroom. A medical society is an important part of all good medical schools.
The Regents of the University will abolish football unless the
conference of the governing boards of Missouri Valley Conference schools modifies the game so that it will be less dangerous. If these are the only terms upon which the game can be kept itsuture looks bad. About the suriest way to do nothing at all but talk is to hold a conference.
KICK COLUMN.
Editor Kansan:
The diligent student in the library has many trials and tribulations. To begin with not enough attention is given by the attendants to the lighting and ventilation of the building. The library is supposed to close at 6 o'clock each evening; although there is much to be said for keeping it open during the supper hour. Despite the fact that the student should be allowed to study until he is disturbed about 5:30 by the noise of the janitor closing the windows. Then at 5:45 a whistle is blown and the student is expected to close his book and depart, thus losing a few minutes from his studies each day. If the attendants in the library could understand that a little inconvenience to them would result in greater convenience to the entire student body a few beneficial changes might be made.

A MURDER NUMBER.
Michigan's Monthly Magazine Reeks With Gore.
Michigan Daily: Murder will out. It always comes to light. Much murder will out tomorrow morning, when the January number of the Gargoyle goes on sale at the book stores and news stands. Kicks and knives and naughty words and prisons and blood figure strongly in the fiction of the present issue.
The editors laid no plans for a ghoulish number. First came one yarn which terminated in the violent death of a character. Then came a poem on the joy of shoving a knife between human ribs and prodding viciously. After that, the editors were presented with a bit of fiction dealing with a novel stabbing affair. Finally the humorist came near killing a character. On surveying their material, the management found that there was nothing to do but to let blood drip and shivers ran throughout the entire issue.
DEADLY GREEN INK.
Or Was It Notebooks That Made a Professor Ill.
"It may sound funny, but it's no joke," said he. "Anyway, as soon as I can get about again, I'm going to try some green ink on the cat." He expects to be on the hill again by Friday.
ALUMNUS MAKES PRESENT.
Prof. R. D. Landrum is spending quiz week in bed at his home, 940 Maine street. Late Saturday night he was grading chemistry II note books with his famous green ink when his fountain pen went on a strike. He sucked it to start it working again, and got some of the ink in his mouth.

Sidney Prentice Gave Valuable Cast to University.
The natural history museum has just received a plaster of paris model of the Tricerataps, a 3 horned herbivorous Dinosaur, an extinct reptile monster of Western America. Sydney Prentice [69], who is now doing all the drawing for the Carnegie Museum of Pittsburg, Pa., has remembered his Alna Mater by making and presenting this model to the University The model is 2 feet 2 inches long, eight inches of which is the skull, and 11 inches high, this being about one-tenth the size of the original. It is colored with an inconspicuous olive green tinge. The base on which the model sets is 3 feet long by 1 foot wide.
An original skull of the Dinosan is now in the museum. It is 6 feet, 6 inches long. The estimated length of it is about 25 feet. Remains have been found in thearamie-cretaceous district of Oklahoma and Wyoming. The following descriptive label accompanied the model: "A cast of the original model made and exhibited in the Carnegie Museum of Pittsburg, Pa., presented to the University of Kansas by Sidney Prentice, with permission of Dr. W. J. Holland, Director of the Carnegie Museum."

HERE IS AN ALL K. U. TEAM
KENNEDY PICKS OUT ALL STAR ELEVEN.
Kansas Has Had Some Classy Players in the Past—Team Would Rank High.
Michaelson—Center.
Hammil—Right guard.
Reed—Left guard.
Donald—Left tackle.
Foster—Right tackle.
Steinberger—Left end.
Algy—Right end.
Williamson—Quarter.
Outland—Left half.
Tucker—Right half.
Avery—Fullback.
Yost—Coach.
Sam Usher—Trainer.
The above football team is the choice of Coach Kennedy for an all-Kansas University aggregation. The team is picked from the men who have played with the Jayhawkers from the early '90s, when football was first introduced, down to the present time.
"Manley Michaelson, '05, is the best center by all odds that ever played at K. U.," said Coach Kennedy today. "W. J. Coleman, the early center, and last year's freshman coach; Stone, '95; Ed Harvey, '93; and Carlson are the great centers. Harvey was a colored man, the only one that ever earned a K in football. He had a powerful physique and was a good center.
"Shorty' Hammil, who played five years before '98, is the best player who ever toiled for the Red and Blue. He takes the place at right guard without competition. As his team mate I choose 'Tub' Reed of recent fame. These two men with their size and great ability would make a great pair. Other guards that deserve honorable mention are 'Cussing' Smith,'99; CCoach Mosse, captain in '98; and Harley Wood of the '08 team.
"My choice at the tackles are Donald, captain in '06, and "Nat" Foster, '96. In defensive and offense work, and in ability to advance the ball these two men outrank the other tackles. Close to them comes "Bill" Caldwell, of last year's team; Krebs the Yost ringer in '99; Crowell, '08; Matteson, '94, and Ackerman, '05.
"The ends are hard to pick, Kansas has never had many great ends. Most of our stars have been heavy line men. One end, "Jack Rabbit" Steinberger, stands head and shoulders above the others. Steinberger was fast and strong, tall and rangy, he had all that a good end ought to have.His last year was '94, and in '96 he died from blood poisoning.
"As a teammate for Steinberger Algy, of the '99 team, looks the best. Hicks, '04; Rouse, '07. Pleasant, '09;—all captains of K U. teams—Rice, '08; Nofsinger and Armour, are the other great ends.
"Kansas has always had sta quarterbacks. The first and greatest one of the stars at that position was "Swede" Williamson. He was equally good at all departments. He taught me the principals of generalship and I got my first lessons from him. Bennie Owen, '99; Pooler, '05; Angney, '07; and Johnson are the other star quarters.
"Dr. John Outland is the best halfback Kansas ever had. He played in '95, then went to Pennsylvania where he was a star. George Tucker, '00, is the best man for right half. Outland and Tucker were powerful players
and outranked Champin, '94 Wade Moore, '99; Myers, '08 and '1oo" Wallace, '06.
"Avery, the full back for Yost's team, is the greatest player at that position that every played here. Kansas has never had many good full backs. The best besides Avery are Brunner, '06; Charlie Johnson, '03; and Charles Ise '05."
Kennedy thinks the old K. U. team would rank high, and could give the all-Eastern team of Walter Camp a hard fight. Kansas has had some of the best players that ever came to the West.

Get in on a Good Thing
We clothing men don't like to "carry over" goods from one season to another. We buy as much as we think we want----it's better to buy too much than too little; but one can't possibly foresee just how many Suits or Overcoats we're going to sell, and we always have left some stock.
Now, as the winter season draws to a close, as we're beginning to look for Spring and Summer Stuff, here's this surplus of Winter Goods on hand. They will be just as good next Fall as they are now, for you. Here Suits and Overcoats are a good deal better for you now than they will be next Fall; you'll get two or three months' wear out of them before warm weather brings you here for thin Clothes, especially at the prices we are willing to take for the goods. Look at them:
$15 Suits, $10; $18 Suits, $12; $20 Suits, $15; $25 Suits, $19; $27.50 Suits, $20; $30 Suits, $20.

MAYNOT MAKE INVESTIGATION
MME. PALLADINO DISCREDATED BY SCIENTISTS.
Prof. R. K. Duncan Saw Nothing Supernormal About the Italian Medium.
"I met Palladino and the Carringtones several times, when I was in New York. I saw nothing about Palladino to convince me that she was supernormal. This does not mean that she may not be. As for Munsterberg, he undoubtedly caught her cheating, but we all know that Palladino will cheat whenever she gets a chance, or this, many phenomena occurred becomes exhausted, and as Munsterberg said, quite apart from that he could not explain at all. It leaves the situation practically as it before," was the statement made by Professor Duncan of the University today. Professor Duncan was a member of the committee appointed by Hereward Carrington to investigate Madame Palladino. The committee was to meet in January for the investigation. It was to meet at the call of Carrington.
Professor Duncan does not know whether or not the committee will ever meet. He will not take part in any investigation that may be made, as he will no have the time to make a trip to New York. The committee may never be called, as it is pretty well established that Madame Palla dino cheats at times, at least.

IS AWAITING THE ANSWERS
NUMBER 52 x
Only Two-Thirds of Men Have Replied to Letter.—Speculation as to the Party.
Official and final action against the members of Theta Nu Epsilon is now pending the receipt of all of the answers to the letters which were sent out by Chancellor or Strong last Wednesday. Until late this afternoon only about two-thirds of the fraternity men who received the communication had answered the questions which were put to them. All of the letters sent to the fraternity presidents asking them to answer questions regarding the conduct of their chapter with reference to T N. E. since the agreement made with the governing body of the University on April 10 1907, have been answered.
OFFICIAL AND FINAL ACT TION NEXT WEEK.
Chancellor Strong hopes to have all the answers from the men in individually by Monday. If they are not received by that time he will issue a second and final call before action is taken by the Board of Regents.
As soon as the information which has been requested, is received and has been included in the Cancellor's report, a meeting of the Regents will be called. It is expected that the call for this meeting will be issued for the latter part of next week. What action the Regents may take is yet a matter of speculation, but it is generally understood that T N. E. or any organization arisen therefrom, will be dissolved for ever.
If all the other events of commencement week fail miserably there will be one feature that will redeem the whole affair The senior farce this year promises to be the best that has ever been presented at the University. Miss Edna Hapkins is the chairman of the committee and she is working day and night to make the last stunt of the class of 1910 the best of the many it has so successfully undertaken.
Considerable speculation has resulted during the past week, because no official announcement calling off the party, to be given on February 11th, has been made. Since it is understood that a number of fraternity men who are not members of Theta Nu Epsilon, as well as several members of the faculty have been invited to attend the party as guests,the question has been raised as to what action may be taken against those men providing the party if given and they attend.
Senior Farce This Year to Be Something New.
Nothing definite has been given en out about the plot nor is it probably that anything will. It is said however, to be a departure from the beaten paths. Every thing will be entirely original. The costuming will be the most extravagant ever seen on a local stage.
WORK ALMOST DONE.
GIVE UP CHECK STAND.
Hook Rent Does not Pay Since Engineers Left.
The boys who have had charge of the cheek stand during the fall term have voluntarily given up their control of it and beginning next Monday the hat and coat hooks will be open to the general public. Very few students have paid for the use of the hooks this term, and as the financial possibilitiles outside of this are quite limited, it does not pay the boys to stay around the cheek stand.
The removal of the engineering students to their own building is given as an explanation of the few hooks rented this year. When they had their draughting work in Fraser hall they spent considerable time in the building and thus it was convenient for them to leave overcarts and hats where they were sure to find them when needed. Students in the College evidently think that people are becoming too honest to interfere with headgear.
EPIDEMIC ON WANE
CASES OF LA GRIP AND COLD DISAPPEARING.
The epidemic of colds and coughs which has been running rampant among the students of the University for the past two or three weeks, now seems to have about finished its course. No less than one half of all the students, according to Dr. H. L Chambers, University physician have had either a cold, tonsilitis or the la grip during the month of January. Tonsilitis, however does not seem to have been so popular as the other two. A great many of the students have caught colds and la grip have followed.
More Than Half of Students Have Been on the Sick List During Past Month.
Dr. Chambers also stated that during the past week there have been but very few cases, which have come under his care. He believes that the quizzes have served to drive all thoughts of bad colds from the minds of the students, unless the case was so severe that medical attention was necessary.
Mark Brawley of Frankfort, a former University student, is visiting at the Alpha Tau house.
"The epidemic is not nearly so prevalent now as it was a week ago," said Dr. Chambers this morning, and it begins to look as if it would practically disappear within a few more days. During the past month it has been one of the most popular things on the hill. More than 77 cases have been treated by the University department and many more students have sought a cure through other sources. Many have paid but little attention to their ailments and have allowed nature to act as a cure. However, in some instances the disease has been so severe that the students were compelled to miss a number of classes."
A FIRE DANGER IS DISCOVERED
MEN'S LUCH ROOM USED FOR SMOKER.
Inadequate Fire Escapes on Fraser Hall—Registrar's Office Is Endangered.
"This room was opened for your use as a lunch and study room. It is not a smoking room Please don't persist in using it a such and causing its closing. If you must smoke, try the campu
It has been discovered that there is imminent danger of a destructive fire in Fraser hall. The University authorities have been notified and action to prevent such a calamity has already been taken.
Last fall a room in the basement of Fraser hull directly under the registrar's office was opened to the students as a men's lunch and study room. It was not long until the place grew to be popular with the students and a short time ago one felt the call to cigarettes and proceeded to light one. The fascination of obeying a rule of the school war probably an impetus for the other students in the room to do like wise and within a few minutes so much smoke had accumulated that the white clouds were finding an outlet through the cracks in the floor of the Registrar's office. Of course discovery of the smoking was the result. An investigation was started at once and numerous heads of matches were found on the floor. This added to the danger of fire, since it is feared that the mice, which infest the room to eat the crumbs dropped on the floor by students eating lunch there, would carry the matches to their nests where if ignited by the pests would set fire to the building.
It seemed that some of the frequenters persisted in doing everything possible to disobey the spirit of the rules. The word "NO" on the latter signs was cut away and all of the words which aided in conveying the idea that the room was not a "smoker," in the other notices were scratched out and the sentences made to read that smoking was desired by all who entered the sanctum for study and lunching. Still an other wayward student proceeded to light a match and setting fire to one of the notices, burned away about half of it.
In addition a number of cards bearing the inscription, "NO SMOKING," were posted in the room.
-ventilation is good there."
Accordingly Secretary Edward E. Brown posted notices in the room which he hoped would have the desired effect. The notice read:
The disregard shown toward the rules against smoking is a much more serious proposition than is anticipated by many of the students. In the first place the room will be closed and its privileges denied the men unless the rule is obeyed. But much more serious is the danger of fire to the building. Fraser is inadequately

DEDICATION FEBRUARY 25
ENGINEERING PLANT TO BE OFFICIALLY OPENED.
Many Western Engineers, Educators, and Alumni to Be Present—Famous Speakers.
On February 25, the date set for the dedication of the new engineering buildings, the University will entertain many noted engineers from all over the West. Some weeks ago letters were sent to all of the important engineering schools and state universities in the United States, inviting them to send delegates to visit the University and enjoy the dedicatory services,whob the engineering faculty intends to make a very pleasurable affair.
The $250,000 engineering equipment which the University has lately added to its plant has attracted attention and comment all over the West, and the dedicatory services offer an excellent opportunity to men of the engineering profession, to examine the place where the state of Kansas makes engineers.
Three buildings are to be dedicated. They are the $50,000 G-ology and Mining Building, which is to be christened "Haworth hall," in honor of Prof. Erasmus Haworth, the big engineering building, which, with the mechanical laboratory cost $150,000, to be called "Marvin hall," after Dean Marvin of the School of Engineering, and the $50,000 "saw-tooth" power plant, which the Chancellor says is "ugly but very useful."
The services of the dedication will be held on the afternoon of February 25, in either the chapel or the gymnasium, it has not The engineering students will meet at 2:00 in the engineering building and attend the meting in a body. At 2:30 Dean F. O Marvin will open the program with a a few words of welcome to the visitors. The remainder of the afternon will be given over to the two main speakers of the day, Richard C. Maclaurin, president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and E.R. Buckley president of the American Mining Congress, two of the best known engineers of the United States, as their high positions among professional men indicates.
After the service the visitors will be shown through the new buildings; but, as the closing event of the day, the University guests will be banqueted in the gymnasium.
"Friday February 25, will be a great day for us who have struggled so long for these fine buildings," was Dean Marvin's comment on the coming event. "We expect quite a number of visitors, including University alumni, and we're going to make it pleasant for everybody."
As a side event, the newly organized Kansas Engineering society has chosen this date and place for a meeting of its members. This society will meet in the engineering building at 11 a. m.

SATURDAY, FEB. 5, 1919.
Final examinations are ended and the students have been awarded their marks each according to his worth or according to what the professor thinks he was worth. Final examinations are a nuisance to the teacher, and to the student. But they are necessary and will persist until same genius suggests a satisfactory substitute for them. Examinations are always more or less unsatisfactory. In every quiz there are always some hard working conscientious, students whose examination papers do not give the teacher knowledge of what the student really knows. And then there are other students who accidentally run into good fortune in the examinations and whose papers do not give the professor a proper idea of what the student really does not know. Thus is goes, and everyone generally condemns examinations. As long as students have to be forced to work examinations are an absolutely necessary evil. From that standpoint their final abolition looks a great way off. Maybe at some future time all the students at the University will so love to study that they will master their lessons and their problems for knowledge's own sake. Then it will not be necessary to have examinations or keep a record of grades. Degrees can be granted after four years study. Until that great day we will have examinations with us.
How nice it must be, after three and one-half years of strenuous existence on all the hard courses on the hill, to end a college career with a term of ten hours work and five of that economies 1. The students who rush into the "snap" courses in their first two years do not know that they are doing an act analogous to killing the goose that laid the golden egg. Hold off the easy courses until the last semester of your school life. Then as you smoothly and carelessly glide to the haven of Artium Baecalareaus you can look back on the troubled and stormy waters with a serene brow—and a knowing wink—by your left eye.
Maybe the purported plan to establish a newspaper at the University which will follow the ideals of "sane journalism" is a subtle
means of rebuking Arthur Brisane for his defense of the yellow journals at the journalism conference.
Post-examination thought by a "flunker"—Achievement is the only solace for the longing of an ambitious soul, and accomplishment is the only consolation for father's dwindling bank account.
BIG JUBILEE TONIGHT.
Novel System of Advertising War Used Yesterday.
Yesterday morning as the students came up the hill they had a small red card handed to them containing an inscription on each side: "Come to the Post-Exam Jubilee Tomorrow Night" and "Your Grades Will Be Handed Out." The latter further aroused the curiosity which the students have in regard to the entertainment and many are planning to go to the gymnasium tonight.The committee in charge have been giving much thought to the amusements for the evening, and every one who attends is promised a fitting celebration of the close of quiz week.

"Where Students Go"
GRADUATES EARN MONEY
AMOUNT DEPENDENT UPON THE PERSON.
"How much may a person earn after getting a college education?" The question is often asked, and best answered by saying: "Any Amount. It depends upon the person."
From 180 Requests Sent Out, 151
Graduates Were Gettings
$469,157 Yearly Salary.
There has been so much of speculation regarding the salaries of college graduates and especially regarding the income of engineers and men of technical training, that at a recent gathering of a class graduated ten years ago from one of the foremost technical colleges in the country it was decided to collect reliable information on this point. There were about 180 graduates in the class in question, and as they had become scattered in all parts of the country, and had taken up a great variety of business and of engineering lines of work, it was evident that the results would be of great value. Furthermore, they would provide information of a kind that people in general have much interest in, but can ascertain little about.
A college man's success, like that of any other man in the business world of today, must of necessity be judged largely by his salary, or by the amount of money that he is able to make. Here and there a man is to be found whose labors have been the work of love or one who keeps at his task largely for the glory or the honor that may be attached to the position that he holds, but such men are greatly in the minority.
Information blanks, asking for replies to certain questions covering location, business, etc., were sent out to all the graduates of the college class referred to above. It was requested that the salary for the preceding year be marked on a blank card and returned in a separate envelope, and in order to avoid any occasion for exaggerating the salary, all of the "income envelopes" were opened by a stranger.
Of the 180 requests sent out,151 replies were received. These came from thirty states in this country one reply each from Canada, British Columbia, and Mexico, and three replies from countries in Europe. Of the 151 men who answered, 70 per cent were married and the married ones had a total among them of ninety-nine children. The great majority of them were managers, engineers, or
executives for successful manufacturing and business corporations, dealing with the work in electrical, civil, mining and other engineering lines. A few in business for themselves as consulting engineers, one was a lecturer, one a California ranch owner, and ten were in the service of the United States government. These details are mentioned to show the wide reaching and representative character of those whose replies form a basis of the statistics of salaries given here.
The lowest salary received was $728. The largest salary was $20 000. The following table shows the salaries for the last year, separated into divisions of $500 each and the number of college men receiving salaries in each of these divisions:
Yearly
No. men each division.
Yearly salary No. men ex. division.
Below $1,000 2
$1,000—$1,499 14
1,500—1,999 30
2,000—2,499 27
2,500—2,999 27
3,000—3,499 18
3,500—3,999 11
4,000—4,499 7
4,500—4,999 0
5,000—9,999 15
10,000—20,000 7
The average received for the year was $3,107. The total amount of money received by the 151 graduates during the last year in their business work was $469,. 157, or nearly $500,000.
Another interesting item that developed from the replies received was that the seven states in which the largest incomes were earned, and these were also the seven states in which the largest number of men were employed, are as follows: Massachusetts, New York, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana Pennsylvania and Colorado.
TALKED IN TOPEKA
Prof. Boodin Told of Citizen's Duty to Municipality.
Prof. J. E. Boodin commended the commission form of government for cities in his talk at Topeka Thursday evening to the ladies of the City Federation of clubs and their husbands. The subject of his address was "The Citizens Duty to the Municipality" and as Topeka has recently adopted the commission form of government it was quite natura for Professor Boodin to discuss i in his speech.
While endorsing the method Professor Boodin recognizes that the right kind of people must be back of it. "Any government will be all right if we get the right people back of it," he said "There must be a public conscience. The government is merely a tool and it depends upon how you handle it as to the success you have.
Prof. Boodin also said that city ownership of some of the public utilities was calculated to increase their efficiency.
Will Be Married in May.
That all college engagements are not mere "engagements" is shown by the fact that Miss Lola Smart, '09, and Mr. William Clark, are to be married at Ottawa May 10th. Miss Smart graduated last spring and has since been teaching school at Ottawa. Mr. Clark left school in his sophomore year, going into the flour business at Pittsburg, Penn. Miss Smart is a member of Kappa Alpha Theta and Mr. Clark a member of Phi Gamma Delta.

RUGBY SUCCESS IN THE EAST
13
MANY STUDENTS PLAY THE SPORT YEAR ROUND.
Stanford and California Have Shown the English Game Is Popular-Objections at First.
Professor Frank Anzell of Lealand Stanford University gives a brief statement in The Independent of January 27 of the football situation in California before the reform and after. According to this account the American college game was developed at Stanford and California as it has been developed elsewhere. The game appeared to be a fixture in college life, "but as the game developed and became more and more scientific it began to become more and more objectionable. It was evident that the game had ceased to be a sport in any sense of the word. It was played only by a chosen few."
Regarding the introduction of the game Professor Anzell goes on to say: "From the first the Stanford students' objection to the new game was very small. There were several reasons for the smooth launching of Rugby but chief among them was the fact that the game was enjoyable—there was fun in the practice and there was fun in the matches. The old, hard, grinding, exhausting mass and momentum play had given way to swift and exhilarating passing and the wearied some drill on signals had yielded to rapid changes of play where quick thinking and ready agility had to play a part. But the main points in the game which make it real sport are that it is poor playing to be downed with the ball and that it is foul playing to interfere. The first leads to the spectacular passing rushes and the second rules out mass and momentum plays.
"That the new game has in creased the football skill of the men playing is evident from the fact that the new game require a skill which the old game was without, 'For every man who could punt 45 yards four years ago, we now have ten, the whole team have to do these things. This makes the game football.'"
That the Rugby game is thoroughly enjoyed by the players is witnessed in the comparison between conditions four years ago and now. "If there was any enjoyment in the old game it was thoroughly concealed," says Professor Anzell. After the big game in November the football field with its barren bleachers with the lonesomest part of the Stanford Campus. The university and second teams wouldn't play and the rest of the college couldn't play a game founded on an intricate signal drill. A game which depends on a monotonous and time-robbing drill in signals can never become a general college sport. This is far from being the case with Rugby from the day after the day after the big game up to examination week the football field is the scene of all manner of volunteer games, interclass, fraternity, department and club matches, so that the majority of the men on the campus have hard, exhilarating exercise without any harmful results. It was the hope of bringing about this condition that induced the faculty to recommend Rugby. In conclusion Professor Anzell says: "And so, after four years of Rugby the students like and enjoy the game; they find the old
football slow and stupid. And they would strongly object to any attempt to bring it back. The game is also played by constantly increasing numbers in the smaller colleges and in many high schools throughout the state."

BECAUSE--The selling system followed by "WEAR-EVER"salesmen a system developed through years of experience and study by hundreds of salesmen-places the work on a plane different from that of the ordinary canvasser.
"Wear-Ever" Cooking Utensil Salesmen Succeed
BECAUSE= "WEAR-EVER" Utensils have given satisfaction. Every utensil sold helps to sell more. What other reason can there be for the enormous yearly increase in sales, for the increase from $6.92, the average 7-hour profit made by about 1100 men in 1908 to $7.42, the average 7-hour profit made by over twice that number in 1909.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FEBRUARY 10, 1910
NEW HONORARY FRATERNITY
FINE ARTS SCHOOL TO GET ALPHA PSI.
Five Girls in the Department of Music Will Be Granted Charter, It Is Said.
Despite the fact that there are at present in the University eight national Greek letter fraternities, four national sororities, one honorary fraternity in the College, another in the School of Engineering, two in the School of Law, one in the School of Pharmacy and still others in the departments of chemistry and journalism, it became known today that a petition has been filed asking for a charter of one more honorary fraternity to be granted. This time the call is issued from the School of Fine Arts.
Five girls in the department of music organized a local society about two months ago and petitioned Alpha Psi, a national honorary musical fraternity. From all that can be learned at this time the success of these girls in securing the new fraternity is assured, and the installation is expected within a short time. The purpose of the new organization will be to promote the study of music. The names of the five girls who will compose the charter membership are not known.
Alpha Psi, although founded but eight years ago, has fifteen chapters in the leading musical schools in the United States. Membership is attained only through proficiency in the study of music.
NUMBER 54
AN ART EXHIBIT.
Dean S. C. Skilton, when interviewed today by a Kansan reporter, stated that he know nothing definite of the new fraternity. He added that he was heartily in favor of the organization, and hoped that it would not be long until the charter would be granted.
Japanese Prints Shown at Snow Hall Art Rooms.
Prof. W. A. Griffith is showing a collection of Japanese prints in the art rooms of Snow hall, this week. A complete Tokaido set by Hiroshige forms a graphie industrial history of Japan, and is interesting because of the influence he had on Whistler's style.
The present exhibit includes work by the art students of the University, and by European artists. The exhibit will remain up during the spring term.
Professor Griffith expects to receive soon a set of fifty or more Hokosai prints from New York, which will be put up later.
The Sig Alphs have pledged Frank J. Mitchell Jr, of Kansas City, Mo.
NO "SANE JOURNALISM."
Promoters Decide to Give Up New Paper Idea.
It seems that the University, after all, is not going to have that new paper, which was to be run along the lines of "sane journalism." The students who were behind this movement are all seniors, and they find that all their attention must be centered on graduating this spring. It is also said that the recent developments in the T. N. E. trouble helped to effect the decision that there would be no newspaper.
On being interviewed by a Kan-san reporter today, one of these students said:
"Although we realize that the University is badly in need of a real paper, we find that our work and other things claim too much of our attention to devote any time to journalism. If we did start this paper, we would not feature all the scandal we could uncover, but would run only sane news. Nor would we feel that the whole welfare of the school was upon our shoulders, but would only devote ourselves to the things that were within our scope."
Engagement Announced.
The announcement of the engagement of Dr. J. N. Van der Vries to Miss Bernice May Tayber, was made known yesterday. Dr. Van der Vries is a member of the faculty of the University in the department of mathematics, and is also a member of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. Miss Taber is a former student of the University, having spent two years here before going East to school, last fall. She is a member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority and well known in social circles. The marriage will take place in June at the home of the fiance, in Holton, Kan. The date will be announced later.
The announcement of the marriage of Doc Van, as Professor Van der Vries is familiarly known to the students, is an interesting one to the student body as a whole. For a number of years he has been recognized as one of the bachelor "fussers" of the faculty. He has always been prominent in all University affairs and takes a prominent part in athletics.
Action with regard to T. N. E. is practically at a standstill today. While practically all of the letters which were sent to the fraternity men a week ago have been answered, no action will be taken against the organization until the next meting of the Board of Regents, which will take place on the 25th of this month, the day of the dedication of the new engineering buildings.

BOTH TEAMS ARE CONFIDENT
BASKET-BALL CLASH MORROW NIGHT.
Kansans Are in Best of Shape and Expect to Win—Missouri Team IS New.
Tomorrow and Saturday nights Hamilton's five will meet the fee from Missouri. The Tigers are coming here with high hopes of victory, while on the other hand the K. U five will thins the going slow indeed if they ( ) not take both of the games.
All the locals are in the best of shape. Their physical condition is excellent after their long rest from active service. At the same time they have been working hard and have perfected their team work and passing.
Missouri has a new team, that is, they have not played together before. Several of the men, Hackney, Burress, Parker and Kelso, are old at the game, however. Coach Hamilton expects victory after a hard battle.
"Those Tigers will put up a great fight," he said, "and the boys will have to go their best to beat them. If we lose on our own court to them there is little chance of our taking any games on the trip."
MANUAL ARTS COURSE.
Thirty Girls Studying Wood. Carving and Brass Work.
Over thirty girls in the University are enrolled this term in the manual arts course. A separate room has been fitted up in Fowler shops for this work, and special care is being taken to make the course of great practical worth. The members of the School of Fine Arts are supposed to originate their own designs for the wood carving and brass work.The others are given models and patterns to copy.
Wants More Wrestlers.
Mr. B. C. Root, who is pushing the mat club, desires that all wrestlers who have not as yet enrolled in the club, would do so at once. The club is now composed of about 35 members. Mr. Root desires especially that men in the light-weight and middle-weight classes report, as there is a scarcity of material in these divisions. If the club is full men who report after Monday cannot enter.
No credit is given in the work at present, but in the catalogue for next year it will appear as a regular credit course.

BLAKESLEY SPOKE.
Feature Writer Talked to Journalistic Classes Yesterday.
The first lecture of the second term before the classes i n journalism at the University was made yesterday morning by Chas. Blakesley, Kansas Notes editor and writer of Starbeams for the Kansas City Star. Mr. Blakesley read a short address on the newspaper profession which he had written for the occasion, and also talked informally regarding his work for the Star. His manner of speaking is extremely personal and unaffected, which, coupled with his dry humor, serves to create a deep interest and a lasting impression of the personality of the man upon his hearers.
The trend of the talk of Mr. Blakesley was in the direction of the young reporter, or "cub," who enters the profession for the first time. He urged that no one take up reporting unless he intended becoming a journalist and by all means to not enter the profession unless he was sure that he could not be satisfied in any other work.
Mr. Blakesley also touched upon the fact that a newspaper man is born and not made and that practical work must be coupled with the theoretical in order that a reporter may become proficient.
"Journalism is like riding a bicycle," he said, "you can't learn by mail."
Mr. Blakesley has accepted an invitation to speak before the members of the Scoop club in the near future on his department work in the profession.
Spoke to Philosophy Class.
Dr. Zwemer addressed the members of the "Philosophy of Religion" class Thursday morning on the religion of the Mohammedans. He pointed out the six things that all true Moslems believe and gave a vivid description of the daily life of the people in Arabia.
Prof. John N. Van der Vries entertained about thirty of his friends from among the University faculty and Lawrence business men on Tuesday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hutchings, 832 Kentucky street. During the evening the formal announcement of the approaching wedding of Professor Van der Vries to Miss Bernice Taber of Holton, Kan., was made. At the same time Mr. and Mrs. Otis Taber were entertaining at their home in Holton a number of their daughter's friends, to whom they announced her engagement.
DR. LOWELL TO LECTURE
NOTED ASTRONOMER WILL BE HERE NEXT WEEK.
Mr. Lowell is one of the best known astronomers of the present time. He has devoted himself mainly to the study of Mars, and in order to have the best of facilities has built and equipped an observatory at Flagstaff, Ariz. There where the air is always clear he has been able to make some very interesting observations. He has reached the conclusion that Mars is inhabited by intelligent beings.
Percival Lowell, the noted astronomer, will be in Lawrence during the first part of next week and will deliver two lectures at the University. Both will be given in the chapel. The first will deal principally with the present knowledge of leading astronomers in connection with the planet Mars. It will be illustrated and will be given at 8:00 p.m., February 15. On Wednesday morning Mr. Lowell will speak at the regular chapel exercises.
Will Tell the Students How His Experiments Have Led Him to Believe Mars Inhabited.
The astronomer comes to the University under the auspices of the society of Sigma Xi. He will deliver the same lecture at a number of other Missouri valley schools during the week.
Suspended the Highs.
As a result of the breaking of the state law against high school fraternities, nineteen students of the Lawrence High school were suspended yesterday morning. The boys suspended comprise the active members of the two fraternities, Phi Sigma Chi and Delta Omicron Omicron, which have been in existence in the school for some time.
The marriage of Miss Gertrude Eson to Dr. Mead, a practicing physician of Great Bend, Kan., took place Tuesday evening at the bride's home in Kingman, Kan. Miss Eson graduated with the class of '09, and was a member of the Chi Omega sorority. Dr. and Mrs. Mead will leave soon for a trip abroad.

The only hope for the continuance of the game of football as an intercollegiate sport at the University lies in the action of the rules committee. Unless the rules committee makes satisfactory modification in the game a meeting of the football heads and governing boards of conference schools will be called. At this meeting Kansas will vote for radical revision of the rules or the introduction of Rugby. Missouri, through the influence of President Hill, will probably be for Rugby. Washington has never had much success with the gridiron sport and is in favor of dropping it altogether, and Nebraska, Ames, Iowa, and Drake will almost surely favor the retention of the game as it now is, or take whatever changes the rules committee may adopt. It will be impossible for the Missouri Valley schools to come to any concrete understanding and the conference in Kansas City will not change the rules. Unless the rules committee, itself, does some real revision, football, if the regents' resolution is allowed to work out, will be a thing of the past at the University.
While the football, as now played, may be dangerous in some respects, the University has never had many accidents. In 1896 there was a player killed in the last few minutes of a hard game. He was not in the best condition at the time. That is the only fatality that the football squad has ever suffered. There have been some bones broken in years past and some players have been severely injured for the time being. But none of these injuries has been permanent. In the past four years injuries have been so scarce that very few men have even had to be taken out of the game on their account.
The wide spread and constant objections to the game under the present rules show that there is something wrong and proves that the revision four years afo, when the open play was introduced, has not been at all satisfactory. The question then arises as to the method of future revision. Shall the game be made more open or shall the old style with modifications be introduced? This question has just about split the
followers of the game into two equal camps. This sharp division explains how difficult it is to revise the rules. The rules committee is doubtless willing and ready to revise the rules. But they do not know what to do and unless they do the right thing the game is probably lost for Kansas.
One thing is sure, and that is that on Friday and Saturday night either Missouri or Kansas will be foiled in the attempt to annex the championship of the valley in basket-ball. It's the Jayhawkers' turn to win beyond a doubt. But that is what we all thought last Thanksgiving day.

Graduate Club to Meet. The Graduate club will hold a meeting in the classical museum and the adjoining lecture room at 7:45 tomorrow evening. The Chancellor will address the club. All members of the Graduate School are expected to be present.
Told to
Members by Professor Hopkins.
Prof. E. M. Hopkins spoke to the members of the Quill club Tuesday on the early history of the organization with which he was familiar since the club was an outgrowth of his prose invention class. The members of this class had so much enjoyed their discussions that they asked to have the course extended. As Professor Hopkins could not make such arrangements the students continued to meet once a week to discuss their literary productions among themselves.
To perpetuate the organization the charter members, who were all seniors, invited several of the juniors to join them. The question of a name for the club was discussed at that time and the Quill, which was suggested by Dr. Hopkins, was adopted.
For a period the criticism at the club's meetings was so uniformly complimentary that the organization became almost a mutual admiration society. This seemed to be responsible for a loss of interest among the members. For the last few years, however, the criticism has been spirited and the club is enjoying a vigorous existence.
KICK COLUMN.
Editor Kansan:
Can you tell me what this University is coming to? Is everybody who cannot get into a fraternity going to start one of his own? Within the last month there have been three so-called national organizations established on the hill. Frats, frats; is everybody going to be a frat man? A BARR
Dr. Zwemer to Y. W. C. A.
"The bigger we are in our minds, the smaller the world is," said Dr. S. M. Zwemer, in his talk before the Y. W. C. A. Wednesday afternoon. With this sentence Dr. Zwemer urged the girls to consider seriously the great social problem of womanhood in the Moslem world. Dr. Zwemer has done missionary work for twenty years in Arabia and is able to speak from personal experience of the great opportunity for teaching nursing, and medical service in Turkey, Arabia and India. He spoke of the Mohammedan religion as it had left its imprint and impress on womanhood. There, woman has no legal rights. She counts one-fourth in questions of inheritance. In court the testimony of one man is equivalent to that of two women.
A VALUABLE COURSE.
Comprehensive Study of History of Journalism.
The course in journalism at the University is strengthened this term by the offering of two hours of work by Professor F. N. Raymond, in the history of periodical literature. The course is a comprehensive one, starting with the beginnings of journalism and tracing its growth in Europe and America down to the present day.
Professor Raymond has been for the past ten years gathering the material which he presents in this course working in this country and abroad. He obtained a large amount of the material by research work in the British mu seum.
It is believed that this course is the only one of the kind offered in an American university.

THE LOVING RAG AT THE SENIOR PARTY FRIDAY NIGHT.
To Use Cheaper Cuts of Meat.
Hazel Bixby and Ruth Elliott, senior domestic science students of the State Agricultural college, are carrying on experiments for their thesis work in the uses of the cheaper cuts of beef. They are restricted to the use of the shank, flank, brisket and neck, and are required to work out all the possible recipes and these are to be demonstrated in the cooking laboratories. These experiments coincide with the theories advanced by President Waters at the Kansas Day banquet that the American people are meat-eating people and to stop the use of meat as a food will only hurt the race.
No Demoratic Speaker.
The University will this year be dep vived of one source of recognition to which it has been accustomed in previous years. There will be no student speaker at the Kansas Democratic banquet, February 22, this year. Usually the Democratic club of the University has a speaker at the banquet, but this year the club has no organization.

BASEBALL MEN TO WORK OUT
COACH EBRIGHT HAS IS SUED A FINAL CALL.
Twirlers Begin Practicing in Gyn Monday—Team to Be Chosen From 1909 Freshmen.
Next week will see the real starting of the base ball season at the University. Coach A. M. Ebright has issued the call for all prospective pitchers and catchers to report at the gym sometime next week to commence to work the kinks out their arms and to get used to handling the ball.
As soon as the weather moderates the diamond on MeCook field will be put in shape and daily practice there and on the golf links will soon develop the men who are to compose the team this spring.
"At the present time," said Coach Ebright today, "I am unable to say anything definite as to the men who will even try out for the team. Next week I expect a number of pitchers and catchers to report at the gym and from their work then I will be able to get a line on the season's batteries.
"The pitching squad is recruited largely from the freshmen, Heizer and Farrell being the only prospective twirlers who have had experience on the 'Varsity squad. In addition to these two men mentioned, Doyle, Sevins, J. C. Johnson, McMullen and Rogers, all members of the freshmen squad last year, will report for work.
"In Rockefeller, Huff and Hostettler I think I have catchers who can handle all the pitchers who wish to try out," said Ebright. "These men will be on the receiving line next week in the gym, and will try to keep the other ends of the battery busy.
"As to the other positions nothing certain can be stated. Of course I expect all of the eligible members of last year's squad to report but whether or not they will do so is a question. Walker Haller and Palmer have all signified their desire to play the game again, but in the main the team will probably be recruited from the freshmen team of last spring."
Mr. Ebright is very desirous that any one who feels that he has a chance to make the team shall try out. There are many positions to be filled and all candidates will be given a thorough chance to develop their ability to play the game.
Arrangements are being completed by Manager Lansdon for a long trip into Texas and Louisiana during the season. Up to this time arrangements have not been completed for this long trip, but they will be soon.
ECKE'S HALL WAS DARK
Neither T. N. E., or Delta Sigma Emerged From Obscurity.
Ecke's hall was dark last night. No melody of stringed instruments nor cadence of dancing feet floated from the third story to the ears of chance pedestrians. Neither was there any carrying away of signs of other evidence of "student" hilarity in the early hours of this morning. For, as you may have gathered by this time, the T. N. E. party, which was scheduled for Ecke's hall for February 11, did not happen. "Delta Sigma" did not emerge from the obscurity with which it has of late hedged itself about; to gambol in the bright lights on the spring floor.
TO MEET BAKER MONDAY NIGHT
HAMILTON'S TRACK MEN WILL MAKE DEBUT.
Last Year Kansas Took the Honors Easily, but the Coming Meet May Be Close.
Coach Hamilton's track team will have its first opportunity to show itself Monday night. On that evening the track men will meet the Baker team in the first meet of the year in the Gymnasium
Last year the Jayhawkers scored a walkaway in this meet, winning by a score of 66 to 19. The only firsts that the Preachers gleaned were the pole vault and the high jump. Their other points came from the seconds in the half, the quarter and the low hurdles.
The Baker team this year is said to be much improved. The new men they have are said to be comers. Kansas is an unknown quantity, but it is expected that some good records will be made by the locals.
Coach Hamilton has refused to say who would start the races for Kansas. Concerning the outcome of the meet, he said, "We hope to win and the chances are that we will. I would not say so positively, however, as there is nothing so uncertain as a track meet."
The meet will, of course, be in the nature of a try-out and all the men who can be given a chance will be allowed to show their abilities. Four men will be started in the dashes and in the hurdles. In the other events there will be only three.
A. S. Van Eman, a sophomore in the College, is spending the week-end at his home in Leavenworth.
All the short races will be run in trial heats and finals.
Miss Esther Wilson, instructor in German, is able to return to her work after a week's illness.
STUDENT COUNCIL MAKES DEFINITE MOVE.
REFORM FOR CLASS POLITICS
Governing Body Has Divided School Into Four Classes—Middle Laws Considered Juniors.
At a meeting of the Men's Student Council this week, action was taken with regard to the present system of class elections and rules adopted for the governing of all future elections.
The "political machine" work was given a telling blow by the insertion of a rule requiring a candidate to secure the signatures of a certain number of names to a petition before he may run for office. The other changes favor a more exact system of registration and a change whereby the fight for office is made between man and man rather than between parties or tickets.
The rules have been submitted to the Girls' Council for consideration and it is very probable that some alterations will be made before that body will ratify. At present the rules are as follows:
ARTICLE I. CLASS ELECTIONS.
The elections of the class officers of all classes shall be held on the Friday of the second week of regular school work.
ARTICLE II. THE CLASSES.
There shall be four sets of class officers in the university; Freshmen, Sophmore, Junior, and Senior.
ARTICLE III. METHOD OF HOLDING
The elections shall be by the "Australian Ballot System." The names of all nominees for offices in each class shall be placed on the same voting slip, all those running for the same office being grouped together, making all slips for each class. Each class shall have a separate polling place.
IV. REGISTRATION OF VOTERS.
On the Friday before election there should be a general registration of all voters. These voters shall register in the class with which they vote. A registration committee appointed by the president of the student council will decide the class with which doubtful voters are to vote, and also regulate the time and place of registration.
ARTICLE V. CLASSIFICATION OF WOMEN
The classified list of voters shall be posted in a public place on the Monday morning before election. Only those registered will be entitled to a vote at the election.
Each person shall vote with the class with which he is enrolled. In three-year courses, first-year students shall vote with the freshmen, second-year students with the juniors, and third-year students with the seniors. In two-year courses, the first-year students shall vote with the freshmen, and the second-year students with the seniors.
NUMBER 55
All who are candidates for a degree or who are graduate students shall be classed as seniors.
ARTICLE V1. ELECTIVE OFFICES.
The officers to be elected in each class shall be a president a vicepresident, a secretary and a treasurer, except in the senior class, which shall also elect a manager of the senior play, a chairman of the

Girls Plan Entertainment.
The first of a series of afternoon entertainments which have been planned by the girls of the University will be given Saturday afternoon, February 19, at 1247 Ohio street. Every girl in the University is invited to attend. Ten cents admission will be charged, the proceeds to be used by the University Y. W. C. A. in carrying on its work.
H. A. Kohman, who has the master baker fellowship in industrial chemistry, has been invited by the University of Wisconsin to deliver an address at that institution on the 2nd of March, on the subject of his research.
TIGER'S TAIL WAS TWISTED
HAMILTON'S FIVE TIED 29 KNOTS IN IT.
The Game Last Night Was a Cross Between Football and Wrestling—To Clash Again Tonight.
It has been officially announced that spring football practice has started at Missouri University and verily we believe it. What is more, all the men who played in the "near" basket-ball game last night must be out for the team. Kansas got away with the game by a 29 to 15 tally, and was mighty lucky to have as wide a margin as that, for it is not conducive to fast basket-ball to spend half of the time getting off the floor and the other half escaping the embraces of your opponents.
The Kansas representatives were not especially lamb-like either. The first half started with a clash. Both teams were trying the strength of their opponents. Missouri drew first blood with a goal by Cohen. Then the real war started. The feature of this hall was the sensational tackle of Johnson by Hackney, as the Kansas captain was tearing down the north side line.
The second session was better from a basket-ball standpoint Kansas started fast but could not hold the pace, and though the game was at all times safe for the Jayhawkers, the visitors showed at times flashes of speed that exceeded any of the locals' performances. The particular bright stars of the Tiger quintette were Cohen at center and the fast little guard, Hackney. This gentleman has caused considerable woe here before and he had all the symptoms of wishing to do it again. If all his team had been as good as he the score might have been different.
Captain Johnson and his coworker, Long, did the best work for Kansas. Johnson made a great record in throwing free (Continued on page 4.)
WOMEN WISER THAN THE MEN?
MEN "FLUNKERS" IN GRE MAJORITY.
Outnumber Women Five to One Professors Wonder What Figures Mean.
The University "flunk list" is a thing of gradual growth. All week long the workers in the Registrar's office have been busy compiling the list and, the returns from all the schools of the University are not yet in. The total casualties in the Schools of Engineering and Law are among those not yet reported.
The list of failures in the College is now complete, and one fact which the figures show has turned the Dean and the heads of the departments into human question marks. That one fact is that among the members of the freshman class who technically severed their connection with the University by failing in more than one-third of their work, there are five times as many men as women, though the class is made up about equally of men and women, "What's the reason for this condition?" the professors are asking themselves and one another. "Are the women naturally brighter than the men? Are the courses made easier for women than for men? Are the men lazier than the women? Are outside attractions stronger for men than for women?" All these questions and many others are being propounded, but so far no one has come forward with an answer. Nearly all the freshmen who have failed in more than a third
Nearly all the freshmen who have failed in more than a third of their work have been permitted to stay in school. They have been allowed six weeks of grace in which to show their ability to master college work.
The University office has not yet given out the exact figures on the failures. Dean Templin said yesterday that the failures in the College numbered about the same proportionately as in previous years.
GLEE CLUB RETURNS.
This Week's Trip Was a Great Success.
Tomorrow the glee club will return from its spring concert tour of the state. Tonight the men sing at Alma and complete the week's trip. The club appeared in Abilene, Emporia, Salina, Fills worth and Lindsborg this week, and at every stand large crowds greeted them.
John Power, a bass singer with the club returned to Lawrence today for the Phi Delta Theta matinee mess. He said the singers were tired out, not so much from their concerts as from the social affairs prepared for them.
A. H. Jurley, '09, is spending the week end in Lawrence, at the Phi Gam house.

The refusal of President Hill of Missouri to become head of the University of Minnesota is notable. The opportunity of a larger work in a larger field would have been immediately given the Missouri educator at the northern school. The fame, size, and influence of Minnesota University exceeds Missouri University and for the present the influence for good that Doctor Hill has in the world would have been given a wider scope had he accepted the offer. No one realized that fact more than did President Hill. He is as anxious as possible to be useful in the world. But he looked beyond the present and in the future he saw the Mississippi Valley with increased richness and prosperity. He saw the valley filled with prosperous people to whom the fruits of toil and faith have granted leisure and culture. Among those people he also saw great universities spring up, the seats of intellectual advance and the pride of all the people. Doctor Hill saw this sight and realized that he would be more useful in the Middle West, than in one of the great universities of the North. It is harder to build than to direct; but he saw the opportunity to make Missouri one of the great universities in the West and he was willing to make a sacrifice and to lend his aid in the task of building. Doctor Hill's work in building up Missouri University will be much more difficult than the position at Minnesota would have been. But in the end, if he succeeds, he will have accomplished more.
It seems that the faculty at K S. A. C. are getting tired of going to chapel. The Students' Herald has been compiling some "grades" on chapel attendance, pased on the past three weeks. Only one professor on the list has a perfect record, while fifteen "flunked out" with a record of fifteen absences. About forty per cent was the average grade.
The students of the University of Missouri showed by their actions that they would have felt worse if President A. Ross Hill had left them than did when Coach Roper left. That is perhaps as great a tribute as President Hill could possibly receive.
Yesterday, at the first convocation of the new term at the University of Missouri, the members of the faculty wore caps and gowns. Now, do you wonder why Missouri has some trouble keeping its faculty?
There are a great many people who do everything from policy. From every little act of kindness they wish to reap a reward so large that they will have to use a McCormick binder and reaper to take in the crop. The "erop" never was very abundant for such persons, however.

Dr. S. M. Zwemer spoke in the chapel Thursday afternoon on "The Impending Struggle in Western Asia." In the country of Turkey greater changes have taken place in the last three years than in the three previous centuries. The battlefield on which the impending struggle is to occur contains 2,600,000 square miles in which live thirty-six million people of whom thirty million are Mohammedans.

Persia is and has been of great influence because from her people have come Mohammedan free thought. Her language and literature has been the polite literature of all central Asia. A future center of international politics will be the vicinity of the Persian Gulf. England has planted posts in that country and Russia, France and Germany are also in the struggle for territory. Constantinople is the center of political intrigue for western Asia The Turks are born rulers and are very energetic people. A Constantinople editor has recently issued a defiance to conservatism and a call to progress among his people.
Dr. Zwemer said that the political element in the coming struggle must be very important. Reformed Islam would be Islam no longer because its underlying basis makes it impossible to be reformed. The struggle is also between two civilizations which have been in opposition for several centuries. But back of other causes is the conflict between two religions which was emphasized by Dr Zwemer. He said that the people of western Asia are distinctly religious and realized that a severe medanism and Christianity. medan and Christianity.

HODDER TO CHICAGO.
During the period of years that Professor Hodder has been at the head of the department of American history in the University he has so developed the standard in this work that Kansas ranks among the best Universities of the country as regards the instruction in history. Professor Hodder has frequently been honored by the American Historical society and is recognized as an authority in American history. He delivered this series of lectures at Tulane University, New Orleans. at the spring semester, two years ago.
Prof. F. H. Holder has accepted the invitation of the University of Chicago to deliver a course of lectures there during the summer quarter. The time devoted to this work will be from about June 20 to September 1. Professor Holder will have the same labor there that he has in the University of Kansas.

"If Rugby must be introduced at the University of Kansas, let it be tried on the freshmen," said Coach Kennedy the other day. "The freshmen do not have any football schedule under the present ruling, and to experiment with the tyros in a few games would demonstrate whether the game would be worth taking up."
The district of the girls' student government association, of which Gale Gossett is chairman, entertained the patronesses yesterday at the home of Martha Stough, at 1224 Ohio street. The patronesses are Mrs. W. E. Higgins, Mrs. George O. Foster, and Mrs. R. D. O'Leary.

GRADUATE CLUB MET
Chancellor Strong Spoke to Members Last Night.
At the meeting of the Graduate club last night, Chanceell Strom addressed a good sized audience. In his talk he compared the Graduate School of this institution with those of schools like Harvard, Yale, and Illinois. Woodrow Wilson, he said, favors the plan of making the school separate and distinct from the other schools of the University and the University of Illinois desires a large legislative appropriation for the purpose of establishing a separate department.
The Chanellor, in speaking of our own Graduate School, divided its students into the two classes; those who are taking special training to become teachers, and those who are doing research work. He commended the normal and steady growth of the school.
NEW GRADING SYSTEM.
A Way to Avoid Finals at Manhattan.
President Waters of the Kansas State Agricultural College announced Thursday morning at chapel that the system of grading would be changed and a system of granting student honors had been adopted.
The letters E, G, P, C, and F will be used in grading,these denoting excellent,good passed, conditional and failed.
The students council some time ago petitioned the faculty that some exemptions be made from the final examinations. Accordingly it was agreed that a student who received a grade of E for the term and not credited with more than six absences, would be excused from the final examinations.
Shipped Liquid Air.
Last night three flasks of liquid air were shipped to W. B. Patty at Fort Worth Texas. Mr. Patty is one of the lecturers on liquid air and has, since the installation of the liquid air machine, been receiving his supply of liquid air from the University. L. J. Kaf department of chemistry has had fer, one of the students in the charge of the machine this year.
Broke His Nose.
Another gym accident occurred Thursday evening when William Fleeson, a sophomore in the College, fell from a horizontal bar and struck the floor breaking his nose and severely brushing his face. He was treated by Dr. Chambers and is rapidly recovering from the temporary disfigurement.

TO DEBATE INCOME TAX.
First Try-out for K. U.-M. U Clash Tuesday Night.
The first try-out for the Kansas-Missouri debate will be held next Tuesday evening in Fraser hall. At a meeting of the debating council Thursday the negative side of the question, "Resolved, That a tax upon incomes is a desirable means of raising revenue within the state," was chosen. A cash prize of $25 will be given to the person winning first place in the final try-out.
The Kansas-Missouri debate this year will be held about May 1, though no definite date has yet been set.
Action was taken on letters received from the Universities of Oklahoma and Colorado. The letters proposed amendments to certain sections of the constitution which govern debating contests between Kansas and these other schools.
At Thursday's meeting, Prof. Frank G. Bates tendered his resignation as corresponding secretary of the council. The election to fill this vacancy will be held at the next meeting.
DEBATING CRITICISED
It Is Intellectual Dishonesty, Says Professor.
"Modern college debating is the most dangerous tendency in the modern university," said Professor George Lefevre of the University of Missouri, Thursday morning.
"The practice of university debating teams advocating first one side and then the other of the questions is nothing but intellectual dishonesty. It causes students to devote their whole faculties and abilities to advocate subjects they do not believe in. It fosters a state of mind that anything can be proved whether right or wrong by the use of eloquence and rhetoric."
Professor Lefevre's remarks were made in the course of an address on "Academic Ideals."
At Vespers Tomorrow.
The program for the University vesper service to be held tomorrow afternoon at 4:30, is as follows:

REASON FOR HIGH PRICES
HIGHER STANDARD RAISES COST OF LIVING.
Man's Increasing Economic Wants Make Larger Demands to Be Filled, Thus Up Go Prices.
Prof. F. W. Blackmar makes an interesting addition to the discussion of "The Cost of Living" in an article which has been made public this week through the University extension department. He calls attention to the forces which have added greatly to the delight of living and says that education and intelligence have multiplied the desires of the people. The standard of life is perpetually rising and the higher it reaches the more it takes to sat isfy the normal demands of the individual.
The cost of living is not the result of high prices alone. Prof Blackmar contends, but more because we have more things to enjoy and must pay for them.
The telephone has become a necessity as its use saves time and energy. If the time and energy saved is turned into money the telephone is a good thing for the user, but he must have an increased income to pay the bill. Automobiles give little economic return, but they satisfy a new desire and are among the many things now enjoyed that we did not have formerly. To provide all these things there are increasing armies of men who must have wages.
Unless there is a proportionate increase in agricultural products the latter are high. There has not been, says Dr. Blackmar, and therefore prices of agricultural products are at present relatively higher than prices of other commodities.
The improved standard of living demands a continually in creasing income in the individual lives a normal life. It is impossible to satisfy all of the economic desires arising from this active expanding modern life. But certain of them must be satisfied in order that the individual shall have normal progressive life which is the chief aim of our civilization.

FRESHMEN DEFEATED RENO
Clay County Will Be the Attraction Tonight.
The freshmen defeated the Reno County High school basket-ball team last night by a score of 28 to 14. The high school boys put up a great game in the first half and it was all the tyros could do to scrape away with a one point lead The score at the end of the period was 19 to 9.
In the second half the freshmen ran away from their opponents and at the end of the game had almost doubled their score. The particular star of the game was Detter of Reno, who played all over the court and made the most of the high school points.
Tonight the freshmen play the Clay County high school five. This game will begin at 7:30. It have been intended that the freshmen play the Deaf Mute team from Olathe, but the "Silents" have been put in quarantine and consequently the game was canceled
Would Have Burdick
A movement which shows the esteem with which Professor W. L Burdick is held by the members of his classes, has been started by senior laws. Their plan is for each man to contribute $5 to a fund which will be used to pay Dr. Burdick to teach the partnership class during the last nine weeks of this term. The seniors completed all of their work under Professor Burdick last term but have asserted their desire of receiving the partnerships under him because of his wide knowledge on the subject.
Paul Surber, a freshman in the College, is visiting at Bonnet Springs.

NEXT WEEK.
Will Talk on Relation of Ancient Thought to Modern—At Vespers Tomorrow.
Dr. Paul Shorey of Chicago will open a week of lectures at the University by delivering the address at the vesper services in the chapel tomorrow afternoon. He will lecture in the chapel at 4:30 every afternoon next week, taking as his general subject, "The Relation of the Ancient Thought and Life to the Modern." The subjects for each day are as follows:
Monday— Realism and Idealism in Ancient Literature.
Tuesday—"The Genius of Greek and English Poetry."
Wednesday—"Jest and Earness in Plato."
Thursday—"Lucretius and the Poetry of Science."
Dr. Shorey is noted for his wide knowledge of literature, seeming as he does, to have the whole literature of the world at his fingers ends. He is also a pleasing speaker.
Friday—"The Civilization of the Roman Empire."
Bishop Griswold on Religion.
Bishop S. M. Griswold, of Salina, in his speech in chapel Friday morning, made a vigorous protest against the theory in a recent magazine article on "The Crusade Invisible," that the colleges which teach women as well as those teaching men are today arrayed against orthodox religion and teachings. Bishop Griswold believes that the author's premises and conclusions are wrong and that the doctrine advanced is false.
"The primary characteristic of students in this university is their tremendous earnestness," maintained Bishop Griswold. He believes that they are seeking the highest ideals along spiritual as well as material and intellectual lines. From his observation in the East he believes that there has never been a time when young people were as intensely religious as today.
To clearly explain his view Bishop Griswold defined religion as the sum of all the relations which exist between God and man Any attempt to narrow this conception is a very serious mistake. Therefore, though the laying aside of many things might still leave some religion, yet there must be mystery, miracle and the historic Christ in the religion which measures up to the definition.
Recognizing that some controversy is inevitable, Bishop Griswold urged the students to empha size the positive things in religion As the subject is of such supreme importance he said that students should be absolutely honest in their search for the truth as it is impossible to hold a true religion which leaves out sincerity.

A STUDENT WEDDING.
Mr. Beeghley and Miss Crandal Surprised Their Friends.
At the home of Mr. F. E. Stimpson, on Tennessee street, last night, at 7:30, occurred the wedding of Mrs. Stimpson's daughter, Miss Nellie R. Crandall, to Lloyd L. Beeghly. Dr. W. C. Payne of the University Bible chair performed the ceremony.
Both the young people are now juniors in the University. They intended to finish their course. Both were brought up in Sabetha where their association began five years ago when they were students in the high school. Mr. Beeghly entered the University last year as a sophomore from Beloit College, and Miss Crandall entered from Washburn. They had planned ever since their engagement, two years ago,to spend at least the senior year of their college life together, but their wedding last night was a complete surprise to all except the few intimate friends who were present.
the out-of-town guests present at the wedding were Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Beeghly of Sabetha, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. I. Smith of Oneida, and Mr. F. R. Robinson and Miss Nettie Robinson of Oswego.
Mr. and Mrs. Beeghly will occupy rooms at 1415 Massachusetts street where they will be at home to their friends after February 18.

ANOTHER KNOT FOR THE TIGER
KANSAS TOOK THE SECOND GAME 27 TO 14.
Both Teams Played Rough, Fast Basket Ball- Two Men Disqualified.
"Oh, gracious! They are murdering my game!" quoth Dr. Jas Naismith, in sorrowful tones, as Tiger and Jayhawk roughed it back and forth over the basket ball court Saturday night: and truly, the University authority on "The Principles of Sports and Games" had reason to be sad.The game, however, was a satisfactory affair. It was only another step in the terrible revenge that is due to fall on the head of old Missou. The score was 27 to 14 with Johnson's bunch on the long end.
In the first period the locals began with a rush. They pushed Tiger players this way and that in the meantime managed to collect 16 points. The men of Lowman did just as much pushing, but were able to negotiate but one basket and garner a free throw.
The second spasm was a little better than the first. The visitors scored as many points as the home boys and had lots of fun besides; for Coach Lowman says there is no fun in the game unless it is rough. Accepting his definition, it must be admitted that the home lads had a little quiet amusement themselves. In fact the affair was so enjoyable to all concerned that the Kansas captain and Parker of the Tigers were excused from the contest as each had used his allotted share of fouls and others wanted a chance.
Parker was the star of the performance, making thirteen of Missouri's points. He was generous, however, and allowed Cohen to gather in the fourteenth. For the locals Captain Johnson and Heizer were the stars of the first magnitude.

"The Religion of Socrates" was the title which Professor Paul Shorey of the University of Chicago applied to his talk at the vesper services Sunday afternoon in regard to the religious views of the ancient Greeks. He said that there was no longer the fierce conflict between radicals which raged a few centuries since in regard to the merit of Socrates' philosophy. Thinkers now recognize the value of his teachings, yet without over-praising them.
Professor Shorey briefly referred to the higher morality of the Hebrew heroes over that of the Greek deities and the protest against the evil in Greek religious life which came from men like Socrates and Plato. He also showed how the personality of Socrates as interpreted by Plato influenced the writings of Romans such as Marcus Aurelius. Professor Shorey stated that at best Greek moral philosophy was but limited compared with the universatility of Christ's truth. The special music was the pleasing anthem "Great and Marvelous are Thy Works," from "The Holy City" by the chorus. The prelude and postude were appreciated by the audience, as

KANSAS TOOK MEET EASILY
BAKER BOYS WEAKER THAN WAS EXPECTED.
Contest Became One Merely Between the 'Varsity Representatives.
The track meet last evening resulted in a complete victory for Kansas. The score was, Kansas, 775-6; Baker, 171-6.
Though no exeptionally fast time was made, the performances in the various events were satisfactory.
NUMBER 56
Baker proved to be a weaker foe than had been anticipated. The score tells the story. The Preachers were simply outclassed by Hamilton's speeders and many of the races became simply a fight between local rivals.
The quarter a speedy event,was captured by Captain Haddoek, after a hard fight with Ream of Baker, who is the state record holder.
The mile was at first a fight between Kansas and Baker, but after good generalship had put the Bakers out of the race Hamilton's men fought it out among themselves.
The greatest event of the evening was the two-mile. Andy Cummins, the holder of the University record, captured the race after a hard fight with Watson, Fisher and Gruber. The only first taken by Baker was in the relay. Hamilton sent in some of his tryouts and they were not fleet enough to turn the trick.
The score follows.
30 yard dash—Haddock first,
Reamer second, Rice third. Time
4. Roberts disqualified
30 yard low hurdles—Hamilton first, Winter second, Parker third. Time 4:1.
880 yard run—Badger first,
Kraus second, Nayler third. Time
2:12.
30 yard high hurdles—Winter first, French second, Johnson third. Time, 4:3.
440 yard dash—Haddock first Reamer second, Davis third. Time 56:3.
Shot put—Ammons first, Wythe second, Stevens third. Distance 35 ft 4½ inches.
Mile run—Clarke first, Wiylson second, Leslie third. Time 5:04. Two mile run—Cummins first, Watson second, Fisher third. Time, 10:48.
Relay—Won by Baker.
High jump—French and Smith tied for first place, 5.5. Wilson and Allerdice tied for third, 5.4. Pole vault—Wenger first, Johnson second, Tompson and Willeger's tied for third, 10 ft 6 inches.
Coach Hamilton wishes all men who are candidates for the freshmen relay team, which is to meet the Missouri freshmen in Convention hall on the night of the indoor meet, to report at the gymnasium at 3:30 Wednesday after noon.
A movement is on foot at Leeland Stanford to secure the erection of a building to be called the Stanford Union which shall serve as a general club house for alumni students and faculty.

READY FOR THE RUSH.
Many Applications for Teaching Jobs Expected.
The committee on recommendations for teachers, of which Prof. W. H. Johnson is secretary, is ready to receive applications from students who wish to teach next fall. This committee has application blanks at the office of Professor Johnson and desires that all applicants fill these out as soon as possible, since inquiries for teachers will soon begin to come in. These blanks are very comprehensive, enabling the applicants for teachers to get a good idea of the future teacher.
Last year there were about 300 applications for teaching positions and of these more than 250 were filled. Professor Johnson thinks that there will be more applications this year as well as more positions to fill.
GLEE CLUB TRIP SUCCESSFUL
SINGERS WERE GREETED WITH LARGE AUDIENCES.
Boys Were Guests at Several Social Events After Concerts.
The Glee club returned last Sunday from the most successful trip that any University musical organization has ever taken. Six cities were visited and a good impression was made by the boys in each place. Every night crowded houses with standing room only met them and the people who had heard former glee clubs pronounced it by far the best ever sent out under University direction.
Abilene was the first city visited by the boys and standing room only remained in the opera house at that place. After the concert a dance was given in honor of the tthe club by former University students now living in and around Abilene.
Salina turned out in great numbers to hear the much heralded K. U. singers, and judging by the press reports from that city, the toys certainly made a "hit."
A crowded house greeted the club at Ellsworth, the next stop and after the concert a dance was given in honor of the club. At Lindsborg, the home of good music in Kansas, the members, according to Prof. Hubach, sang their best concert of the trip. A very favorable impression was made and Lindsborg will always look forward to a return of the glee club.
Before the concert at Emporia a reception was held at the State Normal and immediately after the concert a dance was given by the younger set for the club.
At Alma the last stop on the trip, the high school auditorium was crowded to the limit and most successful concert was given

The club members and Prof. Hbach are loud in their praise of
RED POSTERS TO BLAME
CITY PROHIBITS TACKING POSTERS ON TREES.
Ordinance Will Be Enforced in Future—Sophomores Were Close to Trouble's Door.
In the future the classes of the University will not be permitted to tack advertising cards of any kind on the trees of the city.
This morning J. H. Mitchell, attorney for the city, called upon Mr Edward E. Brown, purchasing agent for the University, and asked for the names of the members of the sophomore class who are responsible for the red posters which appeared so promiscuously on the city trees this morning. Both the president of the class, Albert LeMoine and the chairman of the social committee, like Lambert, were called by Mr. Brown and an explanation for their conduct was demanded.
It developed that the posters were tacked to the trees without knowledge on the part of the sophomores that there is a city ordinance against such practice. On a promise that the sophomores would take down the objectionable "scarlet fever" signs, and that in the future they would post signs of no kind, no action was taken by the city.
The managers of the class were given a good scare, but they promis ise that they will give the best party in Fraternal Aid hall Friday night in spite of their present difficulty in advertising.
The trouble over sign-tacking will refresh the memories of those here last year about the trouble the Masque club and Thespians encountered with the city over plastering the whole down-town district with their advertisements. They, too, got out of their difficulty by taking down their signs and promising to be good in the future.
Held Educational Conference.
Professor W. H. Johnson, the high-school visitor, returned from Topeka this morning where he had been to attend a meeting of the visitors and lecturers of the state educational institutions. This meeting was called by Governor Stubbs for the purpose of making plans for future work. Another meeting will be held in a few weeks.
Debate Tryout Postponed.
The tryout for the Kansas-Missouri pri debate which was to be held tonight has been postponed on account of the lecture of Prof. Lowell, also two members of the committee were unable to be there. The tryout will be held Thursday night at 7:30. Nine contestants have so far entered for the tryout.
Notice.
There will be no meeting of the Good Government club tomorrow evening.

TUESDAY, FEB. 15, 1910.
Millionaire Crane of Chicago, than whom there is not a more persistent foe to education in the universe, has again tried to show the folly and impracticability of scientific training. The Chicoagoan has prepared what he considers a knock-out blow to all the arguments for education. The knockout is in the form of a question and is as follows, "If education is practical and useful, why is it that teachers will train men to be able to command salaries of $5,000 to $10,000 a year, while the teacher himself gets only about $2,500? How can a $2,500 man train a $10,000 man and why does not the $2,500 teacher go out into the world and get the $10,000 position that he prepare others to take?"
To a man like Mr. Crane this argument is unanswerable. Fortunately most of the people in the world have a different mental make-up and look upon the world from a different viewpoint. Mr. Crane can not conceive of any other goal for human aspiration except the accumulation of wealth. The positive benefitting of mankind does not seemingly enter his mind and he can not conceive of a man giving his life up largely to service. The university professor serves man more than does any other class of people. His emoluments are generally not large in comparison with his talents and his powers, but the fact that he is able to do good in the world is compensation in itself.
There are many teachers at the University who could go out into the world and make largely increased salaries. For instance there are several men in the engineering School who could earn $10,000 a year following their professions out in the world. There is one teacher in the University who can command a salary of $15,000 yearly. Mr. Crane is wrong when he thinks that University professors are impractical and unable to succeed in the workaday world. They know there is something else in life besides money-making. Mr. Crane has yet to learn that fact.

Magazine Writer Tells Merits of the New York School.
ADVANTAGES OF COLUMBIA.
The last of the series of articles on great American Universities in the Independent magazine, which have been written by Edwin E. Slosson, is about Columbia, appearing in the issue of February 3. Fourteen great universities have been described, impartially, critically and fairly. The author visited each university and obtained the facts about which he has written, at first hand. Now that the series is completed it would be hard to say which one impressed Mr. Slosson the least, or the most, favorably, or whether he thought any one better or worse than the rest.
From Mr. Slosson's account, Columbia impresses the reader as being almost ideally developed. He says "So the visitor, forming his opinion after the manner of his kind, from casual first impressions, comes to the conclusion that at Columbia University all the three elements of man's nature are recognized as essential but intellectual culture is in the foreground, religious culture at the side, and physical culture in the background. In this he would not be so far out of the way as those who judge by superficialities are apt to be."
Mr. Slosson considers that a university situated in a large city possesses advantages which can not be attained or equaled by one situated in a town or small city. To prove his point he cites German and French universities and says that London University, as young as it is, seems likely to surpass Oxford in a short time. He thinks that the city university is better supplied with tributary see ondary and preparatory schools and that it has a better chance at catching "the crumbs which fall from the rich man's table," than has the university in a small town The more highly specialized the work of the university and the more closely it is associated with the work of the world, the more necessary are the urban facilities, and these Columbia possesses to a high degree. Columbia has made itself a part of New York City, as Wisconsin has merged itself in the state, while Chicago has sequestered itself, a cloister, as distinct from the city, and seemingly as afraid of it as it can well be.
The graduate school at Columbia is by far the largest in the country. It has approximately twice as many graduate students, and half as many undergraduates Harvard. Johns Hopkins is the only university besides Columbia where the graduates outnumber the undergraduates, and

Johns Hopkins has hardly more than a tenth as many students as has Columbia.
Undergraduate instruction for women is provided in Barnard College, which is a quasi-independent organization, ostensibly on an equality with Columbia College, the same standards of admission and graduation being required and many of the professors dividing their time between the two universities.
In conclusion, Mr. Slosson says that Columbia is destined to take the place among universities that New York has among cities, that is if it continues to progress as it has in recent years.
HE IS HERE AGAIN.
Smooth Tongued Brush Agent Grafting Among Students.
A. K. Harper, the traveling representative of the Harper Brush Works of Fairfield, Ia., is at the University again this spring to induce students to take up with his "get rich quick" scheme. Last year he was here and succeeded in "roping in" about forty young men from the University who for the most part spent the summer disadvantageously.
Every spring the University is "flooded" with this kind of sales men who work most effectively among the students who want to earn their way through college. The University authorities have recognized the way in which the presence of such men reflect on the institution, but they are helpless when it comes to taking action against them.
Y. M. C. A. Mission Study.
The Y. M. C. A. has arranged for three mission study courses to run during the spring term. Dr. W. C. Payne will conduct a course in "Comparative Religions," at 5 p.m. on Wednesdays. Dr.F.A.Wilber will have a course in home missions entitled "Civie Problems in City Life." The class will meet at Westminster house at 7 o'clock on Wednesday evenings. Secretary H. C.Herman will have a class at 9 a.m. Sunday on "Christian and the Social Crises." These classes will begin at once.

WILL READ "DR. LUKE."
Iiss Katherine Oliver in Chapel Thursday Evening.
Miss Katherine Oliver, who is called "The Dean of Scotch Leaders," will give a recital in Braser hall Thursday evening, February 17. Miss Oliver ranks among the foremost interpreters of literature, and reads only at the largest universities.
She has an extensive repertoire of well known novels and classics. From these "Dr. Luk' of the Labrador" was chosen, as her interpretation of this has the author's personal recommendation and appreciation. Norman Dunean, the author, makes his home in Lawrence part of the time with his brother, Professor Robert Kennedy Dunean.
In writing to Miss Oliver after hearing the rendition of his book, he said: "I am glad that the publishers of 'Dr. Luke' have given you the rights to the public reading of the book, for this assures an intelligent and sympathetic interpretation. Last night I heard you with very great interest and pleasure; you seemed to have discovered the spirit of Labrador life and to have found a way to communicate it to your audience. How you manage so cleverly to adapt the book to the very difficult purpose you had in view will always remain to me an amazing mystery."
Tickets may be obtained at the University book store, at North College or at Miss Mossler's down town studio.
New Phi Beta Kappa May Be Chosen Next Week.
ELECTION IS LATE.
The election of new members of the Phi Beta Kappa honorary society will be delayed this year until after the regular time of holding the initiation exercises. Owing to the late close of the first term and the great increase of work in the Registrar's office, due to the growth of the University, the grades of the College seniors are not yet in shape for the society's committee of selection to inspect them.
The election will probably be held next week. Washington's birthday is the regular date for holding initiation for new members, though the exercises are usually postponed to a later date to give the members a longer time in which to prepare the toasts they are expected to make.
Our School of Poetry.
Harry Kemp is the author of an excellent "ode to a fossil bird," which appeared recently in the Independent. It was written after an experience with a spring chicken at his boarding house in Lawrence.—Emporia Gazette.
The subjects of Prof. Shorey's lectures the remainder of the week are: Wednesday, "Jest and Earnest in Plato;" Thursday, "Lucietius and the Poetry of Science;" Friday, "Some Modernisms of the Ancients.' The lectures are given at 4:30 each afternoon in the chapel.
In another year a change will go into effect in the requirements for entrance to the Sheffield Scientific School and for the first time it will be possible to enter a department of Yale without preparation in Latin. The Sheffield School is one of the last engineering departments in the country to drop Latin as an entrance requirement.

STADIUM PROPOSITION
He expects that the authorities here and at Columbia will come to a decision before long and laying all plans in that direction. It is now proposed to give up for the time the idea of concrete stands and to use wooden ones. This will reduce the money needed at once from $150,000 to $50,000. Mr. Holmes has now three sites in view where his stadium may be erected.

GRIDIRON MEN NOT FLUNKERS
FOOTBALL PLAYERS MAKE
SATISFACTORY GRADES
Registrar's Records Furnish no Excuse for Abolishing the College Sport.
One of the reasons the enemies of football gave for its abolition from the University was that it developed prize fighters rather than intellectual high-brows. The record of the football players as given out by Registrar Foster today shows that of the fifteen men who earned their letter at the gridiron sport only one "flunked." That one was Lovett the big guard. He failed in only three hours in English literature and he could easily make up that deficiency. The only other men who do not have absolutely clear records are Pleasant and Randall. Pleasant was given a two hour condition, and Randall a five-hour condition. Both men can remove the conditions with a little extra work for a few weeks.
Only the one flunk among the fifteen men shows that the football players are good students and make grades that are up and above the average of the whole student body. The fifteen "K" men carried work in medicine, engineering, law, and the College for a total of about 250 hours. Or that number only three hours were failures. The record of the whole student body in comparison will probably be found below that of the football team.
Fine Arts Recital.
The students from the departments of expression and music, of the School of Fine Arts, will give their bi-monthly recital on Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock in Dick's hall. All students and the public are invited to attend this recital.
Debate Try-Out Postponed.
Bananas and oranges at Vic's.
The debating tryout for the Missouri team which was to have been held this evening has been postponed until Thursday evening at 7:30 o'clock. The state income question will be debated The tryout will be held in Fraser hall.
Sigma Xi to Meet.
The regular monthly meeting of the Sigma Xi will be held Thursday evening at the home of Professor B. J. Dalton, at 1017 Indiana street. Most of the evening will be given up to the discussion of "The Teaching and Correlation of the Sciences in the University of Kansas." The main line of the discussion was set forth by Professor McClung in a letter which he sent to each member. The questions to be solved are the falling off of attendance in classes of science on the ground that too much time is taken up with Laboratory periods, and the value of credits in science work, in comparison with other subjects that do not take so much time.
L. R. Tillotsen will read a short scientific paper. The regular midyear election of new members will also take place at this time It is reported from reliable sources that there is a large number of nominees.
TIGERS HAVE NEW GAME.
Will Develop Football Men With New Invention.
Dr. E. C. Hetherington, the athletic director of the University of Missouri invented a game last year to be used in developing football men. The game was given a trial and proved such a success that it will be used as a regular part of the football training this year. The game is a combination of English rugby and basketball.
Coach-Elect Dillon, of the Tigers, has written his assistant, Dr. J. A. Gibson, that spring practice should be begun this month. This practice will consist of the new game which teaches the new principles of punting and passing and a few drills on the finer points of the game. There are a number of this year's freshment as well as those who held down 'varsity positions, who will be out for the practice.
Talk to Civils.

Medical Frat Seems Assured.
The medical students who organized sometime ago to petition Phi Beta Pi for a charter, have been assured that they will receive the same within a few weeks. The petition was passed on favorably by the national officers of Phi Beta Pi, and has been sent out to the different chapters for their action. Every chapter that has been heard from so far has voted favorably and there are but four more to report.
Phi Beta Pi is one of the few strong medical fraternities. Membership in this fraternity is not gained solely through attainment in scholarship, but is more like ordinary national fraternity. The chapter here intends to have a house in which they can give parties, and hold other social functions.
Dr. E. Shorer of the medical faculty, and Ed White, a senior in the College, are members of Phi Beta Pi.

Wins Honor in Oratory.
Miss Grayeau Waugh, a student in the department of Fine Arts, was announced winner of the temperance oratorical contest, held at Eskridge, Kan. Lest Friday night under the auspices of the W.C.T.U., of Kansas, and was awarded what is known as the Grand Gold medal by that society. For some time Miss Waugh has been entering the contests held by the Temperance union, and the medal won Friday is the third which she has been granted in successive contests.
There is but one more such medal for Miss Waugh to win before she will be granted a year's free instruction in the Columbia School of expression at Chicago, Ill. This final medal is known as the Diamond medal. The Columbian school is the one from which Miss Gertrude Mossler, head of the department of elocation of the University, was graduated. At present Miss Mossler is preparing Miss Waugh for the final contest, which will take place in two months, and is making every possible effort to aid her pupil in searing the honor.

The Stubbs-Grenfell fellowship is the latest to be announced at the University of Kansas. The fellowship pays its holder $1,000 for a period of one and one-half years. Roy Wiedlein, a graduate of the University last year, has been appointed to be the fellow. Governor W. R. Stubbs gave the money for the work of this fellowship for investigating the possibility of extracting from the duetless glands of deep sea mammals certain substances which are of exceeding great value in medicine. The noted Dr. Grenfell, the Labrador missionary, is the one who suggested this line of research. Mr. Weidlein will spend several months in studying the scientific side of his subject and will then go to Labrador where he will spend the summer investigating the material which Dr. Grenfell will assist him in collecting. He will return to the University next winter for laboratory study of the products of his summer's work. Physicians especially are greatly interested in this investigation.

"He Loved the State."
When a man has once been active in Kansas affairs it seems that his affections always remain with this state, regardless of how far outside its borders his subsequent pursuits may take him. Professor James H. Canfield, formerly known to everyone in Kansas as the active and interesting teacher of economies at the State University, was such a man. At his funeral, President Butler of Columbia said that he believed the word "Kansas" was engraved on Dr. Canfield's heart. Professor Canfield was much given to expressing his view on economic subjects and while in Kansas was the center of considerable controversy. He commanded the entire respect of even his adversaries, however, and his career of usefulness after leaving the state, closing with several years as librarian of Columbia University, was watched by his former associates in Kansas with interest and pleasure. Much has been published about him since his death last spring, and in a recent magazine article a lettr written by him a year ago is printed in which he said that after his death he did not wish anything in the way of public ceremony or memorial. But one thing he would like to have done, he admitted, and that was to have his former students at the University place in the old class-room a small tablet on which should be engraved these words, "He loved the state and was loved by its children."
Big and Ugly in Those Days.
Kansans who may be curious to know just what a dinosaur looked like will have the opportunity of finding out the next time they visit the State University. A graduate of the University, Sydney Prentice, who is now connected with the Carnegie Museum at Pittsburg, has recently sent to his Alma Mater, a plaster of paris model of one of these great three-horned monsters of other days. An original skull of the dinosaur has been in the museum for many years. It is six feet, six inches long. The model sent by Mr. Prentice is comparatively small, but represents the supposed appearance of the animal as it walked the primeval plains. To one who studies the proportions of this beast the thought is like y to suggest itself that Form r President Roosevelt is, after a l hunting only "small" game.

PRESIDENT HILL AT DEDICATION
WILI, SPEAK TO THE GUESTS AT EVENING BANQUET.
Dean F. O. Marvin has received positive promise that President Albert Ross Hill, of the University of Missouri will be here to speak at the banquet to be held in connection with the dedication of the new Engineering buildings or Friday, February 25. Fifteen hundred invitations were mailed today and can be made that every event of the day shall be a distinct success.
Many Invitations Sent to Alum ni and Former Students.
Dean C. H. Benjamin of Purdue one of the famous engineering educators of the country, will also be one of the speakers at the dedication banquet.
The program for the afternoon and evening as printed on the invitations is as follows:
Addresses: Frank O. Marvin Dean School of Engineering.
Afternoon Session, 2:30, Chan cellor Frank Strong presiding.
Richard C. Maclaurin, President Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Ernest R. Buckley, President American Mining Congress.
The buildings will be open for inspection during the day and after the banquet in the evening.
The Kansas Engineering Society has arranged for a meeting in the lecture room of the Engineering building at 11 a. m.
The invitations have been sent to the heads of engineering schools in all parts of the country, to other professors who are interested in technical education to local engineers and men who are in the lighting and telephone business.
Especial care was taken to invite all alumni and former students of the Engineering School A circular was enclosed in all invitations sent to these men. This circular is designed as a notice to the alumni that their Alma Mater remembers them and wishes then to be informed of recent event at the University so that their interest in the Engineering school may be stimulated. These circles are devoted to information concerning the equipment of the new building, the work being done in it and how the University is aiding the state.
NUMBER 57
After considerable discussion as to whether ladies would be invited to the dedication banquet, it has been decided that the students may determine the matter individually. It is certain that the wives of the professors and other guests will be present and the number of University girls will depend upon the individual engineers.
Paul Surber, a freshman in the College, will visit in Bonner Springs Friday and Saturday.
GIRLS TO GIVE FARCES.
Proceeds of Plays to Go to the Y. W. C. A.
The first of a series of matinees to be given during the rest of the school year, will take place Saturday afternoon when the members of the Theta sorority will stage a farce at their chapter house for the University girls. An admission of ten cents will be charged, the proceeds of the afternoon's entertainment to be used in connection with the Y. W. C. A. work of the University.
It is the present plan to give these matinee parties at each of the four sorority houses at the German club and at the Association house. At each some sort of force will be provided by the members of the respective organizations and the proceeds turned over to the Y.W.C.A.The monetary side is not the only factor in these entertainments,but by then it is hoped that a close relation ship will be formed among all of the University girls.
CALDWELL TO HASKELL.
Will Coach the Indians in Foot ball Next Fall.
"Fighting Bill" Caldwell, who has been one of the 'Varsity grid iron stars, will coach the Haskell football team next fall. He had several conferences recently with Superintendent Fiske and while no contract has been signed it is practically certain that the Indians will be under the direction of Caldwell for the 1910 football season. He is one of the best examples of what Kansas turn out in the way of football players and should be able to do duel for the Haskell boys next fall.
Caldwell has also been in consultation with the athletic manager in regard to a schedule o games. The possibility of a Kanas-Haskell game next fall be comes an interesting consideration.
INTELLIGENCE ON MARS.
Dr. Lowell Believes Designing Beings Are at Work.
That the geometrical marking of Mars are evidence and proof of the work of intelligent beings on that planet was the thesis which Dr. Percival Lowell defended in his lecture in University hall Tuesday night.
The lecture was illustrated with lantern views of drawings and photographic plates of Mars. Professor Lowell said he had observed a canal on recent plates which had never appeared before. This he said, was additional proof that the work of intelligent beings was being carried forward on the planet.
"It is unlikely that there are men like ourselves on Mars. The different conditions there would give rise to beings of an entirely different kind. But I believe there is unmistakable evidence that mind is at work on that planet," said Professor Lowell.
Lewis Breyfogle has appointed P. C. Carson chairman of the invitation committee of the junior prom. This appointment was necessitated by the withdrawal from school of Ralph Cole.
BASKET BALL TEAM LEFT ON TRIP THIS AFTERNOON.
TO INVADE
THE ENEMY
The Boys Will Have a Week of Hard Games Ahead of Them.
Captain Johnson's basket ball five have played their last game of the season on the local court. They have won every game and have only two games to win to assure themselves of the championship of the Missouri valley.
At 3:03 this afternoon eight players, under the direction of Coach Hamilton, began the long journey which will determine the premiership of the conference Captain Johnson, Long, Heizer Woodard, Martindell, Van der Vries, Larson and Smith are the men who are to take the big trip. The first game will be played tonight in Kansas City. The Kansas City Athletic club will be the Jayhawkers' opponents and the warmest game of the trip is expected.
Friday and Saturday the seem of the struggles will be St. Louis where Washington University will be played return games. On Monday night and Tuesday afterno Johnson's bunch will again rough house with Burress' five at Columbia. Of the Washington games the Jayhawkers can drop one without being in any danger
On Wednesday night comes one of the big series. Ames has been very successful so far, and has only recently defeated Missouri. Thursday the game will be played with Drake at Des Moines. The Drake team is another strong one and a hard battle is looked for here.
The trip ends with games Friday and Saturday of next week with Nebraska University at Lincoln.
It is the last four games of the trip that promise to be the hard ones, and they are also the ones that are most necessary in order that Kansas be again Missoura Valley Conference champions.
The Entomology department has recently secured an unusually large hornets' nest which was found on the Ben E. Wilson farm in Jefferson county. It was exhibited for a time in the window of a down-town store, but has been donated to the University by Mr. Wilson and just at present is hanging in Professor Hunter's office in Snow hall. The nest is about two feet by fifteen inches and of a size and type rarely found except in heavily wooded parts of the country. The covering is a paper-like material which the hornet secures from the decayed surface of rails or any wood which has become affected by the weather. The colloquial name for the hornet is the yellow jacket which is slightly smaller than the ordinary wasp but a frightful stinger.

BRUSH GAME COST DEAR.
One Student Sacrificed $40 on the Altar of Graft.
To The Kansan:
This being the season of the year when all the canvassing agents and grafters swoop down upon the University I thought that I would like to give vent to my feelings, and relate a few of my experiences of last summer, when I was so unfortunate as to be influenced by the silver tongued oratory of one of these menaces to theUniversity student and mankind in general.
This individual "proved" to me that he had the best brush outfit that was ever invented for the benefit of the weaker sex. He sent me into a territory which had "never been worked before." Result: When I arrived in the "promised land of milk and honey," I found it to be flooded with the self-same "one of the five great inventions for the lessening of the daily duties of the housewife," under a different name. The trip cost me $40, four weeks' time, and a summer's job at $15 a week.
I send this communication to warn any innocent, scrupulous consecientious, hard-working, in dustrious student who may be desirious of earning a year's schooling in two months' time by the graft method, against taking up with any such scheme.
ONE WHO WAS STUNG.
IT WAS A FINE SLEEP.
But a Law Student's Slumber Hard Harsh Awakening.
The "champion play-boy class of the University," as it was charactorized today by one of its members, namely the senior laws, got in action again yesterday when one of their number, F. Gazlay Apt, fell asleep about noon. The class silently stole out of the room with their honored dean and left the slumbering hero to his peace His beauty sleep was soon disturbed by the sweet strains of "Please Go Away and Let Me Sleep," as rendered by the Senior Law Choral society, which were awaiting outside the room to give him an ovation when he emerged "Uncle Jimmie" has now placed at the disposal of the class a large sofa now in his office but which he offers to move to the reception room. It is presumed that the "Colonel" will take advantage of the dean's kind offer.
Russ-Eddy.
Miss Gertrude Russ, a graduate of the Fine Arts School last spring, was married at the home of her mother, 1231 Kentucky street, to Mr. Richard Eddy, last night.
Miss Russ is well known to University students and during the time she spent in the school was one of the most popular vocalists. She took an active part in all musical affairs.
Mr. Eddy is brother of Joseph
Eddy, county clerk.
ADVISORYBOARD TO ENTERTAIN
Y. M. C. A. SUPPORTERS TO BE GUESTS OF FACULTY.
Boys Will Take a Trip to the Philippines Saturday Evening.
The Advisory Board of the University Young Men's Christian Association has issued invitations to the members and supporters of the organization to be the guests of the board Saturday evening in Snow hall. The boys are invited at that time to take a trip to the Philippine islands with the professors who will be their hosts for the occasion. In explanation of the entertainment thus outlined it is said by those who have learned something of the plans for the evening that an illustrated lecture on the Philippines will be given by Prof. F. E. Jones,who has been in the islands.
The Advisory Board, of which Chancellor Strong is chairman, includes ten members of the University faculty who have a general control of the Y. M. C. A. These professors meet with a committee from the association at intervals during the school year to consult and advise the boys in the work they are conducting in the University along religious and social lines.
The opportunity for the boys thus to meet the members of the faculty at an informal social gathering will be a new experience except so far as the Chancellor's annual fall reception presents such an occasion. The action of the Board is a recognition of their appreciation of the efforts being made by the students to support the association financially. Ladies will not be among the guests Saturday evening except the girls from the Y. W. C. A., who will serve the refreshments.
TRIP TO TONGANOXIE.
Glee Club Will Sing and Have Banquet Tomorrow.
The University Glee club will go to Tonganoxic tomorrow night to give a concert in the city opera house. After the concert a banquet will be held in the hotel. The members of the club will take their lady friends with them and the party will return by special train after the entertainment provided for them.
Prof. Shorey's Final Lecture.
Prof. Paul Shorey's final lecture will be given in University hall tomorrow afternoon at 4.30 The subject will be "Some Modernisms of the Ancients." This is one of Dr. Shorey's popular lectures.

The framing of some sensible laws for holiday class elections and the division and classification of the entire student body into four classes is the best thing that the student council has ever done. As soon as the new rules are approved by the girls council they will be presented to the student body for ratification There should be no difficulty in having them adopted as the necessity of such regulations has been long realized by the students Next fall the new "square deal" should be an established fact, and through the union of the classes the different school of the University should come closer together and have a spirit in common.
The students at Missouri are persevering, to say the least. The Independent still prints the following as its motto, "We must have the Missouri Valley Championship in basket-ball." Persuervence can, however, be extended so far that it ceases to be a virtue.
From the grades it seems likely that future Eliots can be as easily found on the football team as any place about the University. So if you are looking for a youthful Eliot be sure to inspect the gridiron stars.

J. M. RAYMOND DEAD.
Was Father of Prof. F. N. Ray
mond of English Faculty.
Joseph M. Raymond, father of Prof. Fred N. Raymond of the department of English, died yesterday afternoon at his home at 811 Mississippi street. Mr. Raymond had been an invalid for about four years, and for the last week had been growing steadily weaker.
Funeral services will be from the home tomorrow afternoon at 1 o'clock. Rev.W.W.Bolt of the First Congregational church will officiate.
Mr. Raymond came to Kansas in 1867 and settled on a farm near Lawrence, where he lived until eight years ago, when he moved into town.
LOWELL ADVOCATES WORK
Famous Astronomer Explains Character of a Genius.
To dispel the false notion that a gulf divided geniuses from other people, was the avowed purpose of Dr. Percival Lowell, the great astronomer, in his talk in chapel Wednesday morning on "The Humanity of a Genius." He pointed out that great ideas given to the world were the results of long effort on the part of geniuses even though the new proposition seemed merely a sudden inspiration. To illustrate the importance or hard work, Dr. Lowell cited Balzac, the brilliant French author, who would work for sixteen hours at a stretch and who remained unsatisfied with his efforts even when his writing was a distinct success.
Geniuses and mediocre persons may be named as the two classes in the world. The former are those who are able to present great truths so that all may see their greatness in the simplicity. However, Dr. Lowell maintained that worth while suggestions will come to all who keep their minds open. He said that every genius is more human than he seems and, in fact, differs from a mediocre in being more human in having broad life.
Rock Crashes Through Roof.
An exceptionally strong blast of powder at the excavation of the new administration building Monday morning, sent a big rek crashing through the roof of Haw orth hall, which did not stol till it had smashed a hole in the top story floor. The carpenters have been kept busy the last few weeks patching the tin on the roof but this is the first time a rock has gone into the building itself.

The South Inquires Into Possible New Industries.
INTERESTED IN CAMPHOR.
Some time ago The Kansan printed an interview with Prof. Robert Kennedy Duncan concerning the work of the department of chemistry in investigating the possibility of growing camphor, in the South. The article was sent broadcast by the Associated Press.
People in the Southb took interest in the possibilities of growing camphor, and since the article appeared, Professor Duncan has been receiving inquiries from all over that part of the country.
One of the letters was from a graduate of the University, offering a part of his farm in Texas for any research work the University might like to do. Other letters have come from Florida Louisiana, and Mississippi, written by people who are interested in the possibilities of the new industry in the South.

GFEEK LITERATURE.
Dr. Shorey Lectures on Its Various Phases
Dr. Paul Shorey of Chicago, spoke in chapel Monday afternoon "Realism and Idealism in Ancient Literature." Grecian literature differs from the modern in that it maintains a middle course between extreme realism on the one hand and cold idealism on the other, while the modern rushes from one extreme to the other," said Dr. Shorey. The life of one Greeks at the time of Plato is better known than that of any people since the modern times through the literature of that age. Dr. Shorey believes that the explanation of this lies in the fact that the Greek writers of that period put an ideal conception before them and elaborated this with realistic details. Even Homer at his early period treated idealistic subjects in a realistic manner. Of the great Greek writers of the Periclean age, Aeschules, narrated things as they were, Euripides as they are, and Socrates as they ought to be
By a glimpse of the sculpturing of old Greece we get an idea of the compelling power of a humorous idea executed without error. The builders of the Parthenon strove after no display in architectural design, but put into the temple only those stones which were without flaw.
If people today could tear them selves away from the best sellers long enough to read the great tragedians of Greece they would get the perfect harmony and idealism of that beautiful literature. But the people at the present day like an exhilaration of emotions and strong coloring, even if it is harmonious and true to nature.
In Rome the literature was coarses-grained to suit the people whose only pride was in the conquests of the state and the upbuilding of Rome. If death was depicted in a Roman tragedy the life of some criminal must be sacrificed on the stage to satisfy the cravings of the populace for realty. Tacitus, however, was an idealist except for a few touches of coarse realism. Horace is modern in that he is a realist. Ovid is a type of the smart set of Rome His style is the herald of modern style in that it is full of epigrams shams, idealism and pseudo realism.
Dr. Shorey lectured on "The Genius of Greek and English Poetry," on Tuesday afternoon. In his address on "Jest and Earnest in Plato" on Wednesday afternoon, he told how Plato had been misunderstood even more than most great men. The great philosopher appeals to students in different ways and the critic who is disgusted with some of Plato's writings may have a one-sided view simply because he is not interested in the portion he has read.
Dr. Shorey cited several amusing misconceptions o<sup>f</sup>. Plato which have been held by modern authors. He explained that much in the Platonic dialogues was a dramatization of the talk of Athen's young men and as such pertinently illustrated both ancient and modern fallacies. Irony was the most notable trait which Plato gave to Soerates as his spokesman, though the Platonic doctrine was not always present ed by the latter. Dr. Shorey instanced several examples of how Soerates baffled his would-be teachers with his questions.

O RELIGIOUS CONFERENCE
Dr. Payne and Dr. Wilber to Speak to University Pastors.
Dr. W.C. Payne and Dr. F.A. Wilber left Monday for Madison, Vis., to attend the third annual meeting of the Conference of Church Workers in state universities, which holds its sessions February 15 to 17. Reports of all religious work being done in their respective institutions are expected from the representatives of twenty-one universities.
Comparatively few states have the religious work in connection with their universities as well developed as it is here at Kansas. At the session of the conference for the presentation of the institutional lectures of the university pastorate as now in operation in the various universities. Dr. Kayne who is the treasurer of the conference this year, will discuss the opportunity of the university pastors in a semi-official Bible chair. At the Wednesday morn-session Dr. Wilber then lead a discussion of two phases of the work: "What has the religious spirit to offer in bridging the gap between fraternity and non-fra-termite men and women?" and "The development of more helpful personal relations between students and Christian men and women on the faculty."
Several men of distinct prominence in religious and educational activities will address the conference. John R. Mott, general secretary of the world's Christian Student Federation, will present two papers on the religious needs of state universities and a policy of cooperation in meeting them. Prof Shailer Mathews of the University of Chicago Divinity School will deliver an address on "The National Significance of the Religious Life of State Universities.
CLASSICAL ASSOCIATION.
Prof. Wilcox Spoke at Annual Meeting at Topeka.
The Classical Association of Kansas and Western Missouri held its fifth annual meeting Friday and Saturday of last week in Topeka. The meeting was opened Friday evening by Dr. Paul Shorey with an address on "Some Modernisms of the Ancients," Dr. Shorey will repeat this address tomorrow at the University. Dr. Frank Sanders of Washburn College continued the program with various suggestions to the assembled teachers which he had gained from his practical experience in teaching.
Among other speakers at the meeting, Professor A. M. Wilcox, of the classical department of the University, gave an address on "Some Cretan Discoveries and Their Significance." One of the most interesting parts of the program was a joint debate, in which Dr. Shorey, Principal H. S. Miller, of the Kansas City, Kan., High school, and Professor Wilm, of Washburn, discussed the disciplinary value of different studies.
The classification association was organized five years ago at a conference of college and high school instructors of classical branches of education, held at the University. Most of the instructors in the classical department of the University attended the meeting of the association.

Reported Discovery Probably of Little Value.
LITTLE OIL IN SHALE
A dispatch from Jetmore, Kan., in the Topeka Capital last week, told of a discovery by which the shale beds of Western Kansas might be made to yield great wealth. A discovery had been made by a Pennsylvania man, the dispatch said, by which gas could be manufactured profitably from the bituminous shales of the Dakota and Benton formations.
Regarding the dispatch Professor Erasmus Haworth of the department of geology, says that University experiments upon the shale had not been encouraging "We made an analysis of the shale gas and it was our opiom that the gas was not found in paying quantities. Some of the shale was also sent to Washington, with the result that they found even less gas than we did," said the professor.

Hope for Flunkers.
It was probably quite a shock to many of those who took economics I under Prof. Cone last semester when they found out their grades at the registrar's office.

Lowell on Solar Theory
Wednesday afternoon Professor Percival Lowell lectured in Snow hall lecture room on the subject of planetical theory of Chamberlain. The speaker said that while we had many theories to account for the origin of our solar system it is probable that no one og them is entirely free from error. He pointed out a few errors in the theory of Kant and of Laplace but directed his attention principally to the mathematical and astronomical phases of the planetal theory, claiming that Professor Moulton made a fundamental error which made practically all of his conclusions wrong. In other words he held that regardless of whether or not the planetal theory is correct, no one has proved it to be correct and Professor Lowell doubts anyone ever being able to.

"Burn the grass now," is the advice given to the farmers of the state by Professor S. J. Hunter, entomologist in the University of Kansas, if they are to wage successful war against the chinch bug. This pest has been unusually abundant this winter about the roots of bunch grass. Cold, freezing weather has had little effect upon its health and vigor. Professor Hunter believes that if all the bunch grass near wheat fields is burned, the chinch bug pest will be almost exterminated. But if the pest must be fought later in the season, Professor Hunter is prepared to send to the farmers of the state, packages of chinch bugs infected with the well known fungus disease. The farmers will also be instructed how to pen up the bugs in a small area so that an entire field will not be destroyed.

17on From Drake Last Night Took Two From Missouri and Last One at Washington.
According to a report received by the Lawrence Journal, the Jayhawker basket-ball team added another scalp to their list last night by defeating the Drake team by a score of 60 to 30. The particulars of the game could not be learned.
"Tommy" Johnson and his teammates in slight way, got sweet revenge for the Thanksgiving football game by taking four straight from the Tigers in basket-ball. The score of the first Columbia game was 25 to 21 in favor of Hamilton's pets and the second was a run-a-way for the Jayhawkers, the final count being Kansas 58 and Missouri 22.
Tonight the Jayhawkers play the Iowa State Agricultural College at Ames, Iowa. Tomorrow and Saturday night they play at Lincoln against the Cornhuskers. Ames is an unknown quantity, but the Nebraskers were easy when they were here early in the season.
The last of the series at Washington University resulted in a victory for the Kansans, the score being 19 to 16.
The team will return to Law rence Sunday.

CAR LINE APRIL FIRST.
Good Weather and the Loop Will Be Done Then.
Providing weather conditions permit, the loop of the street railway which is to encircle the campus of the University, will be in operation by the first of April. Work on the construction of the line will begin March 1, and a large force of workmen will be kept busy until the line is completed.
At present the tracks end just north of the Law building. The line will be continued from that point west, behind the Chemistry building, then turning south, will pass between the gymnasium and Fowler shops. At this point the track will drop just below the hill between the power plant and the shops, and then east to Ontario street, south of the Physic building.
FOR A NATIONAL GUARDCOMPANY
MOVEMENT TO ORGANIZE
ONE AMONG STUDENTS.
C. R. Shifler, a Middle Law, is the Recruiting Officer—Petition to Be Signed.
A company of the Kansas National Guard will be organized among the students of the University if a petition which C. R. Shiffler, a middle law, is circulating, receives a sufficient number of signatures.
Mr. Shiffler has been instructed by C. L. Martin, '07, Adjutant General of Kansas, to prepare a military petition and to turn it over to Wilder S. Metcalf, '97, who is the colonel of the First Kansas regiment. Colonel Metcalf will lay the petition before the state military board.
The company, if one is organized will be a part of the First Kansas regiment, which is now short one company.
Dr. James Naismith is in favor of the organization of a company at the University. He has agreed to allow the gymnasium to be used for drill and armory purposes.
"Valuable training and experience may be derived from membership in the Guards," said Mr, Shifler today." Every man is completely outfitted without expense to himself. Each member will receive about $30 a year for attending drills and for firing 250 rounds of ammunition on the target range at three cents a shot.
Mr. Shiffler believes that a company of maximum strength can be recruited from the University student body. He passed the petition around at his boarding club yesterday morning and secured seven signatures, in a few moments. He has had considerable experience in recruiting militia companies, having served as the captain of one.
"Some of the features of chief value to the members are the participation in the army maneuvers at Fort Riley next summer and contesting for medals awarded by the state for marksmanship."

GALLERY GODS WERE EJECTED
TWO STUDENTS AND LITTLE KID TAKEN OUT.
A Peanut War Carried on by "Rough Necks" Had Disastrous Ending Last Night.
As a result of the rowdy, rough conduct of the gallery gods at the Bowersick opera house last night two prominent students of the University and a little down-town kid were given their money back by the manager and gently escorted out of the theater by the same gentleman. One of the students is a middle law and the other is a senior pharmacie.
Nearly a hundred students were in the "Roost" last night for the presentation of "Polly of the Circus," and, as characterized by one who was a victim of their sport, they acted like a chowd of first class "rough-necks." Contrary to the usual custom the noise and boisterousness which generally precedes a performance of that kind, lasted until the two students and the little kid were taken out between the second and third acts.
The offence which got the two students and the little kid into trouble was the waging of a "peanut war." The fun of the gallery opened for the evening with the customary announcements in loud tones when University couples took their seats in the parquet. Then the student "roughnecks" opened fire with peanut shells upon the theater patrons who were seated in the front of the parquet, and kept up the fusillade through the entire show.
In addition to making the evening uncomfortable for their targets, the peanut shooters disturbed the performance at critical points. At certain times when the rest of the house was quiet and when complete silence was necessary for the effectiveness of the performance, the rattle of cracking and falling peanut hulls broke in disagreably upon the attention of people who had gone to the opera house with other intentions than that of having fun at the expense of the audience.
Finally, the disturbance became more than the opera house manager could stand—and long experience with student audiences have made those managers more than usually patient. The two husky students and the little kid were led to the door and bidden a glad farewell.

THURSDAY, FEB. 24, 1910
The students of the University should attend the dedication in large numbers tomorrow. The event does not alone interest the engineers, it interests all students and all well-wishers of the University. The completion of the engineering plant marks an epoch in the history of this school. One hundred out-of-town guests, all of whom are engineering teachers or followers of the engineering profession, will be at the University tomorrow. The students should make it plain to the visitors that they appreciate the new buildings.
"Tommy" Johnson and his basket-ball tossers took four falls out of the Tigers, and the last victory on the Tiger stamping ground, was the most decisive of them all. It seems as though "Tommy" was trying to rub it in. It was sweet, sweet revenge.
GIRLS GAVE A DANCE
It May Lead to Revival of Barb Girls' Party.
A unique valentine dance was given by a number of the University girls Saturday night at Ecke's hall. About fifty couples were present. The out-of-town guests were: Misses Virginia Bradley, Nina Cushing, Louise Leonard, Frances Sheldon, Mary Sheldon, Hazel Harbour, Florence Cook, Frida Deitrich, and Mr. Earnest Skofstad, of Kansas City, Mo.; Misses Alicia and Lucy McNaughton, of Tonganoxie, Miss Blanche Millis and Willard Wattles of Leavenworth; Cadet Colvin and Miss Marion Manley of Junction City, and Miss Beth Harrison of Jewell City.
This is the first time for several years that an entertainment on such a large scale has been attempted by an unorganized group of University girls. The success of this dance may lead to the revival of the former annual Barb girls' party.

KIMBALL TO JOURNALISTS.
Ober's MARATHON OUTITTER
Told of Getting and Keeping a Newspaper Job.
Mr. C. W. Kimball of Kansas City spoke to the class in journalism this morning on the subject of "Getting a job."
Mr. Kimball started by saying that when, after a hard struggle, the newspaper aspirant succeeded in landing a job on some paper, his home journal proudly referred to him as "accepting a position." "Most people who apply for a job have no idea of what is wanted," said Mr. Kimball. "I have sat near the desk of the city editor of the Kansas City Star and seen applicants for a job on the paper file pass the desk in a seemingly endless string and not one of them seemed to know what was required to gain the editor's interest. Perhaps the first will be a boy who comes in with his father. While the parent tells the editor how he has read the Star "nigh on to twenty years," and how he swears by their editorial policy the boy stands sheepishly by, eyeing the editor out of the corner of his eye. The next man will be one with a hard-luck story. He must have a job. He's down and out and he'll starve if the editor doesn't come through. But the editor cannot pay attention to him. The liar is also a frequent visitor at the office. He is the man who tries to fool the editor into believing that he is an old newspaper man, but the latter can see at a glance that he has "I'm a born liar," written all over him.
"Nor is a pleasant personality to be undesirable. The editor cannot help wishing to do something for the man who is always striving to please and make himself agreeable, while the 'grouch' who stalks up to the desk and thumps his copy down as if he wished it would choke the editor; will remain a reporter."
GARVIN ON ETERNAL LIFE.
Powers of Present Existence Are to Continue Indefinitely.
The address was by Rev. Samuel Garvin of Kansas City, Kan., on "The Eternal Life." He presented no arguments to prove it because he considered it a well-nigh universally accepted fact, but he gave some helpful thought concerning his conception of it. Dr. Garvin said the eternal life is the one we are now living and that the part before death is $\pi$ prelude to that beyond. He considered that the present life is but a thumbnail edition of the larger life to follow in which we will have many of our present characteristics. For this reason Dr. Garvin urged his hearers to recognize the gall of God to amount to something in this world that they do so in large measure in the next.
Despite the stormy weather a small audience attended the ves per services Sunday afternoon and were well rewarded by the music and the address. The an them by the chorus was "O Sweetyt Breathe the LvresAbove."

3,009 NEW BOOKS.
Many Volumes Added to Library Since September 1.
Since the beginning of this school year, 3,009 volumes have been added to the University library. This makes a total of 67,952 books that are open to the students for reference. These new books cover all departments of learning taught by the University, and range from an Encyclopedia of Accounting" to a 240 volume set of "Hausard's Parliamentary Debates."
The books are not all new ones for along with a copy of "Landscape Painting" by Birge Harrison, edited in 1909, came a little worn, thick-paged, yellow book, called a "History of the University," published in 1766. With such a variety to choose from, even the most fastidious student ought to be able to find at least one book that he can use.

McCORMICK IS TO SPEAK HERE
13 PUBLISHER OF THE CHI CAGO TRIBUNE.
Will Address Members of the Journalism Classes March 10 or 11.
In Medill McCormick the students of the department of journalism and of the University will have an opportunity to hear another of the great newspaper men of the country this spring. Prof. C. M. Harger, head of the department of journalism, last week received a letter from the editor and publisher of the Chicago Tribune, in which Mr. McCormick said he would stop off at Lawrence and address the journalism classes of the University March 10 or 11.
Mr. McCormick will come to Kansas to address the members of the Kansas Editorial association at a banquet which the association will hold in Wichita March 8. He will stop at the University on his way back to Chicago.
Born of a newspaper ancestor Mr. McCormick has been training ever since he left college to hold the position whiche now occupies at the head of the Chicago Tribune. He began as a reporter, became a copy reader, and from that position went to an editorial desk on the Tribune. Later he was sent as a special representative of the Tribune to the Philippines, and on his return became a Washington correspondent.
Having learned to do the work of all the editorial departments of the newspaper, Mr. Medill then started in to study the business organization of a newspaper plant He started to work in the press room and worked his way up, taking up detail by detail the work of the various departments, outside of the editorial, engaged in the manufacture of a newspaper.
Under the direction of Mr. McCormick, the Tribune has developed a policy which is characterized as "conservative radicalism." A special effort is made by the Tribune through its correspondents to keep closely informed or public opinion and to crystalize it on vital issues.
VASSAR GIRLS IN CONCERT
IHave Great Variety of Instruments to Play Saturday Night.
A sextette of saxophones is one of the unusual features of the company of eight Vassar girls which presents its concert next Saturday evening. The organization is the result of an ideal of a gentleman of some means who, about ten years ago, conceived the idea of educating a double quartette of girls for high class concert work. He selected girls of superior musical ability and furnished the funds to complete their literary and musical education
The result of the special training of picked musicians has been a company of solo artists who also do exceptionally good concert work. As the girls are cultured and refined young women they have succeeded in making a distinct success with their concert in the large cities where they have appeared. In addition to the saxophones the Vassar girls play many of the more common brass and wood instruments in various combinations. One of the number is a vocal soloist.
The concert will be given at 8 o'clock Saturday evening at Fraternal Aid hall, under the auspices of the University Y. M. C. A.

BETA CHAPTER OF SIGMA DELTA CHI AT K. U.
The Fraternity Is for Upper Class Journalists—It Is Strictly Honorary.
Tonight the Beta chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, the national honorary journalism fraternity, is to be installed at the University Chi Sigma, a local journalism fraternity, petitioned Sigma Delta Chi some weeks ago. The charter was granted last week.
Sigma Delta Chi was founded last April at De Pauw, and at present there are only two chapters in existence. The fraternity was organized because of the rapid growth of schools of journalism over the country. The fraternity hopes to become the standard fraternity of journalism. It is honorary in the strictest sense, and only upper classmen who are newspaper men are eligible to membership.
Sigma Delta Chi is expected to spread rapidly among the universities that have journalism courses. Several organizations in different schools are interested in Sigma Delta Chi and several additional chapters will soon be established.
The charter members of the Beta chapter are Homer Berger Earl Fischer, Paul Harvey, Ralph Heminway, Edgar Markham, Edward Schauffler, and Joseph Murray.
Detwiler-Heinicke Engagement.
Miss Eva Detwiler of Smith Center and Edwin Heinieke of Jewell City, both former students of the University, have announced their marriage for April 8. Mr Heinieke was a member of the class of '05, and has since been engaged in the lumber business in Smith Center, Logan and Athol. Miss Detwiler was a sophomore last year, but did not return to school this year. Both made many friends while in school and were popular alike with both students and faculty. After their marriage which will take place in Smith Center, they will go to their home in Twin Falls, Idaho, where Mr Heinieke has charge of a lumber ward.
Miss Detwiler was a member of Chi Omega sorority while in school. Mr. Heinicke was a Phi Delt.

ENGINEERS WILL COUNT TIME FROM YESTERDAY.
The dedication of the new engineering buildings yesterday marks the beginning of time with the School of Engineering at the University of Kansas. Every loyal, enthusiastic engineer attend all the dedicatory services and celebrations.
Marvin Hall, and Haworth Hal Are the Names Given the Engineer Homes.
The first act in the dedication ceremony was the delivery of the keys to the University by W.Y. Morgan, secretary of the Board of Regents. After the response and transfer of the keys to Dean Marvin for the School of Engineering by Chancellor Strong, it announced the special action of the Board of Regents by which the central building of the new group is named Marvin hall. The honor thus conferred upon Dean Marvin received the hearty aplause of the audience, as did the announcement that the main building was named Haworth hall in honor of Professor Haworth.
The afternoon program closed with a song by the Engineers Glee club, which also sang twice earlier in the afternoon.
Dean Marvin's Address.
The first address on the afternoon program was "In Retrospect," a summary of the past, by Dean Frank O. Marvin. In intro

ducing him Chancellor Strong attributed to him more than all other men put together the credit for making the School of Engineering what it now is. Professor Marvin stated in the beginning of his speech that only a few of the varied events which had influenced the shaping of the policies and the working out of results could be touched upon.
The first catalog of the University issued in 1866, showed a faculty three professors and a student body of 26 women and 29 men without any other classification. In the next catalog the University offered two full curricula of college work, one along classical lines and the other of scientific character. Courses is drawing, mathematics and office and field practice in surveying
were introduced into the scientific curriculum in 1870. Frederick W. Bardwell, one of the faculty of eight people that year, had the title of professor of mathematical and engineering.
The next year provision was made for a professor of general and industrial drawing, and a curriculum in civil and topographical engineering was established. With the addition to the faculty of a professor of engineering and general industrial drawing, engineering was given the recognition o requiring a chair of its own. One of the four members of the first class graduated in 1873 was an en
M. H. D.
PROF. ERASMUS HAWORTH
The national panic which followed "Black Friday" on Wall street in 1872 and the horde of locusts which devastated the state forced the University temporarily to abandon the idea of building up a distinctive engineering department, as the legislature of 1874 did not appropriate enough money for the Regents to fulfill some of the obligations they had already made.
The death of Professor Bardwrel in the summer of 1878 was a serious blow to the scientific strength of the University. Prof. Miller was asked to take charge of engineering as a temporary matter and Mr. Frank O. Marvin was appointed assistant professor of mathematics, physics and engineering. In the fall of 1882 a chair of civil engineering was established and Assistant Professor Marvin placed in charge, the work being separated from that of physics and astronomy. A separate organization for a School of Engineering was established in 1891 and schemes provided for the study of civil and electrical engineering. In 1899 full curricula were added in mechanical and mining engineering and the latter was placed undirection of the Professor E Haworth.

(Continued on page four.)
In speaking of the work in electrical engineering, Professor Marvin paid tribute to the work of Professor L. L. Blake, who occupied the chair of physics and electrical engineering from 1891 to 1906. In referring to the general progress of the School, he gratefully acknowledged the loyalty, zeal, enthusiasm, and hearty co-operation of the present faculty. He also spoke with appreciation of the spirit manifested by students and alumni.
STUDENT MEETS TRAGIC DEATH
EARL GREGORY KILLED NEAR BONNER LAST NIGHT
With Companions Was Beating His Way to Kansas City—Body Found This Morning.
The body of Earl Gregory, a junior in the Law School, from Guthrie, Ok., was found at 7:30 this morning under the bridge at Bonner Springs, by a Union Pacific section man. The body was on the ice, partly submerged in the water. The lower jaw was broken and there was a bruise over the left eye.
Last night Earl Gregory, hi-
room-mate, E. Ira Irwin, a fresh
man in the College, also of Guthrie,
and William Hammer, a juni-
ior in the Law School, set out to
"beak" their way to Kansas City.
They got on the eastbound Union
Pacific at 8:40, Hamner and Irwin
on the blind baggage of the
first car, and Gregory on the
second. The first two did not miss
Gregory until they arrived in
Kansas City. They then thought
that he had been put off at one
of the stations along the line, and
did not learn that he had been
killed until their return this
morning.
It is almost certain that Gregory met his death by being hit by the bridge as the train passed over it. The doctor in Bonner Springs who examined the body this morning, said that it probably had been on the ice all night, and as the train passed there at 10 p. m., it would appear that he met his death in this way.
The body was identified this morning by Paul Surber a freshman, who was visiting at Bonner Springs. He identified it by the fraternity pin on his breast and letters found in his pocket. William Gregory, father of the dead boy, city engineer at Kuthrie, Ok. has been notified and will be here immediately to take care of the body.
Gregory was a member of the Sig Alph fraternity. He lived at 1224 Ohio street.
About one hundred people, the members of the music club and their friends, enjoyed a Schubert song recital by Mrs. Blanch Lyons on Wednesday afternoon at Dick's studio, by Mrs. Olin Bell, Mrs. C. G. Dunlap made a few explanatory remarks before each selection. Each member of the club was allowed to bring five guests.
Mrs. Lyons Gave Recital.
Members of the faculty at Minnesota have pledged $100,000 with which to build an apartment house for the use of the University professors.
George Banta, president of Zeta province of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity, is visiting at the local chapter house today.
THE WEATHER.
Generally fair tonight and Friday; slowly rising temperature.
THE WIND WAS TEMPERED
Zero Weather Brought One Engineer Back to Lawrence.
"He froze up the ditches so the boss could let me off, and its about the first time I was ever thankful for either zero weather or frozen ground when I was trying to put in a sewer."
"The Lord is mighty good to me," said an engineer yesterday morning, who had returned to his Alma Mater for the dedication of the Engineering buildings.
THE TRIP IS NEARLY OVER
TWO MORE VICTORIES ADDED TO THE LIST.
Jayhawkers Defeat Nebraska 40 to 20 and Ames Is Baten 31 to 18—Team Home Tomorrow.
Last night the Jayhawkers won the third game this year from the Cornhuskers on the court of their rivals. The score was 40 to 20. This is the final step to the championship of the Missouri Valley. Van der Vries played a star game for the Kausans and did the bulk of the scoring. Wood, the colored guard was the star for Nebraska and as was the case when the two teams played here, the struggle between he and the Kansas captain, was a great exhibition. Tommy managed to hold a shade the better of the argument and shot three goals.
Tonight the wanderers play the last game of their trip at Lincoln, and tomorrow will see them back at the old stand, after the most successful trip that any college basket ball-team anw themthebasket-ball team in this section of the country has ever taken.
The Kansas Travelers had very little trouble in attaching the fixtures to the Iowa Aggies Thursday. The score was Kansas 31. Aggies 18. Hamilton's gang took the lead in the first two minutes of play and at the same time were game went on. They played much faster ball then did their opponents and a the same time were far their superiors in goal shooting: At the end of the first half the Jayhawkers led by a tally of 18 to 7. In the second period Ames played a better game and their star, Herbert, made a lot of trouble for the travellers. The starring for Kansas was done by Woodward, who caged six bass kets.
Homer Berger, business manager-elect of The Kansan, and Clyde Dodge, a freshman in the College, went to Kansas City yesterday to visit over Sunday with home folks.
QUORUM WAS NOT PRESENT
REGENTS DID NOT ACT ON T.
N. E. AFFAIR.
Chancellor Has Not Completed Reading the Letters Sent Out Some Time Aga.
On account of the failure of a quorum to be present at the meeting of the Board of Regents, held yesterday, the action, which was to have been taken with regard to the T. N. E. investigation, was postponed indefinitely. Regents Cambern and Morgan were present. Regent White has not yet returned from New York, Regent Hopkins was called to Chicago, and Regents Foley and Gleed were detained by local duties.
Chancellor Strong has not yet had time to read all the replies to the letters he sent to the fraternities and the fraternity men asking for information concerning Theta Nu Epsilon as it has existed in the University since the compact made three years ago by the members of T. N. E. and the fraternities with the Board of Regents. As soon as the Chancellor can finish the preparatory work, the Board will meet and take final action against the society.
Owing to the fact that the stories printed by The Kansan several weeks ago caused considerable comment among the students of the University an investigation was made by The Kansan to find what fraternities had members who had joined with T. N. E. or the same society under a different name since April 10, 1907. It was found that members from four of the eight fraternities of the Universities were wearing the T. N. E. pin. These men were not members of T. N. E. Prior to April 10, 1907. The four fraternities are Phi Gamma Delta, Sigma Chi, Sigma Nu, and Alpha Tau Omega.
Outside of an occasional meeting of the old members of T. N. E., the organization has been inactive for the past two years until late this fall. Urged on by a new member of the faculty, who is himself a member of T. N. E., the latent society decided to give a little party. It is understood that the members of T. N. E. had no idea of the perilous position they were placing themselves in when they allowed themselves to be influenced by this new member of the faculty.

SATURDAY, FEB. 26, 1910.
The present Kansan board, which has directed the policy of the paper for the past year, has completed its duties and finished its tasks. The next issue of the paper will be the work of the new board and the new officers. The new officers are all experienced men and one of the solaces of the present board in turning over the paper to new hands lies in the fact that these new hands are so capable and so well able to develop and increase the possibilities of The Kansan.
The Kansan is a young paper. It is now in the sixth year of its existence. Starting out as a small, four column, four page paper, nearly every year has added some increase; however slight, to its size. This work should not and will not be dropped, until a five-column daily is established on a firm footing.
The Kansan has not alone increased in size with the years. It has become a little better from the newspaper standpoint with every successive board. The betterment has been natural and was to be and is to be expected. The new board will improve on the paper as it now is, and unless improvement is shown it will have tailed to do its duty.
One of the reasons for a man taking an interest in journalism is that connection with a newspaper increases his acquaintance and enlarges the list of his friends. Newspaper work also makes a man some enemies, but they are scarse and unimportant as compared with his friends. The board has made a great many friends at the University in the past year, and a few of the faculty and some of the students have enrolled themselves on the list of the enemies of The Kan san. To the latter the board bears no malice, to the former it reciprocates a hearty friendship. Most of the enemies of the paper have been made because the board was intent on printing a newspaper on giving the news three times every week without fear or favor.
In finality, the members of the present board have, with few exceptions worked hard and conscientiously to print a good newspaper for the subscribers of The Kansan. Whatever success in that regard that the board has
had can be judged by the subscribers. Whatever the judgment may be, the board turns the paper over to its successors with the feeling that it has tried to do its whole duty all the time.
TRUE AND RIGID THOUGHT.
Attorney Goddard Recommends Good Habits of Thinking.
The value of mental training was discussed in chapel yesterday morning by Hon. A. A. Goddard of Topeka, formerly attorney general of Kansas, in an ad dress on "Good and Bad Habits of Thinking." He spoke of the difficulty of directing the mind to one subject unless there was a positive interest which fixed the attention. Therefore each person should find the interesting thing for himself in each task which came to him.
Mr. Goddard gave an illustration of how much work could be accomplished when a person went at one thing at a time and the hardest thing first. He recommended also that each man should judge himself as rigidly as he judges others. This would cause a sincerity in thinking which is essential to continued success.
The thinking too much about the self was one common fault mentioned by Mr. Goddard. Not only is this bad habit a lack of courtesy, but it causes a danger that when talking, expediency and not truth will direct the words of the speaker.
LANDRUM GIVEN HONOR.
Elected Associate Member of American Ceramic Society.
R. O. Landrum, assistant professor in chemistry, was elected in associate member of the American Ceramic society at their annual meeting in Pittsburg last week.
There are fifty regular members, but Prof. Landrum is the only member from here. His election is the result of research work done here in the past three years in the department of chemistry The requirements are that members must have had actual engagement in ceramic engineering work. Prof. Landrum has been with the Columbus enameling and stamping company at Terre Haute, Ind.
The society will publish an article by Landrum in the transactions of this year on "Methods for the Analysis of Enamels and Enameling Materials."
CONCERT AT HASKELL.
The University glee club will sing at the Haskell Institute tonight. The program will be practically the same one as was used on the annual trip at the first of this semester. Many University students are planning to hear the concert. Since only one concert was given before the University by the club last fall, another will be given next week.

University of Kansas Has Only One in the Middle West.
SEISMOGRAPHS ARE FEW.
"The adjustment of the seismograph in the basement of Fraser hall will be completed the first of next week," said Professor H. P. Cady today. "Upon its completion Kansas University will possess the only one in this section of the country, as the two nearest are in St. Louis, Mo., and Ann Arbor, Mich.
Baker University has been incorrectly reported as having a seismograph, but in Baldwin they have a magnetograph, which is simply for the purpose of noting magnetic disturbances and not for the close observation of all minute movements of the earth's crust. Thus Kansas University possesses the only seismograph in the Missouri Valley and the Middle West."

Orient Awakened by Missions.
"Ten years ago I tried in vain to get a Boston paper to print information about the far East. On this trip I am solocited by reporters everywhere for news of doings in the Orient," said Dr. J R. Dearing of Japan, at the Y.M.C. A. meeting Thursday evening. This thought was the key note of his remarks in regard to the changes taking place in China Japan and the Philippines. As those peoples are increasing their interest in western affairs, so also are Americans desiring to learn of our trans-Pacific neighbors Dr. Dearing has been in the educational missionary work in Japan for twenty years and has traveled extensively in the neighboring countries. He gives to Christian missionaries the credit for most of the awakening which has come to the Orient.

Afraid of the Phi Psis.
Prof. A. S. Olin got two cords of wood early yesterday' afternoon and busied himself until dark putting it into his wood house, a stick-at-a-time, and through a window. The cause for the undue haste was the fact that the Phi Psis live near and have x wood grate.
Held a Reception.
The Alpha Chi Sigma chemical fraternity held a reception at the Pi U. house Thursday evening for the chemical engineers and other students who are especially interested in chemistry. About 26 were present. Refreshments were served.

$26,850 FOR FELLOWSHIPS
THIS AMOUNT USED IN LAST TWO YEARS.
University Profits Much by Prof Duncan's Industrial Investigation—Free Instruction.
That the industrial fellowship idea is bringing money to the University from the East in large quantities to be spent on scientific research is shown in a report made public by Prof. Robert Kennedy Duncan this week. According to the report no less than $26,850 has been placed in the hands of Professor Duncan in the last two years for expenditure in the work of the fellowships. The amounts were given as follows:
For the eleven industrial fel lowships, $20,350.
Optical company's prize, $100.
Ozone plant, $500.
W. R. Nelson prize, $200.
National Laundry Machine Co. plant for commercial electrolysis $200.
Establishment of bureau of research for an eastern corporation $2,500.
Investigation of camphor growing in Jamaica, $2,000.
Gifts of apparatus, traveling expenses of fellows, etc., more than $1,000.
This work is a source of actual profit to the University, says Professor Duncan't report. The University has spent some money for material and for necessary permanent apparatus. But this expense has been more than offset by the interest on the fellowship money in the hands of the University treasurer, and by free gifts from the donors of the fellowships and others, outside of the fellowship money.
Besides the money balance in the University treasurer, resulting from the fellowship, the department of chemistry profits by thirty hours of free instruction each week, kiven by the industrial fellows, all of whom are trained men.
"From the knowledge of the matter which I now possess, I can say that there is no apparent reason why the amount coming to the University in this way should not readily be trebled," says Professor Duncan. "I have found in the Universities both here and abroad an intense interest in the department and an eagerness or the part of the best research workers to obtain the fellowships at my disposal."

THE Y. W. C. A. CLASSES
New Plans Formulated for This Term.
The Young Women's Christian Association has planned a particularly interesting schedule of class-work for this term. Several new classes are being organized to meet some of the special needs of University people. Noteworthy among these is a course of six lectures offered by Prof. Blackmar on "Social Service in Town and Rural Communities," as practical course, designed to bring home to the student some of the principles of sociology in their relation to actual conditions in his own community. The class will meet in Prof. Blackmar's lecture room in Fraser hall Thursday at 30, beginning March 3.
A general course in mission work, following Robert A. Hume's "Mission from the Modern View," will be given Monday afternoons at 4:30 by Mrs. A. M Wilcox. This class will meet at Mrs. Wilcox' home, 1605 Vermont street.
The class which was organized last fall under Miss Nourse to study Henry Churchill King's "Rational Living," will be reorganized with any new members, who wish to join, under Professor Wileox. Professor Wileox will meet the class Monday, March 7 at 4:30 in the classical museum. But the newest departure in association classwork is a course planned especially for the girls who are preparing to teach English in the high school. Selections from the Old Testament are now included in the list of classies for the high school English course, and as at present there is no University course which gives adequate training for that work. Professor Schwegler consented to give a course of seven lectures on the literature, interpretation and methods of teaching of these parts of the Old Testament. Professor Schwegler's class is scheduled for Wednesday at 3:30, but on account of conflicts a change will be made in the time which will be announced later.
Anyone desiring to enroll in these classes is urged to see Miss Ruth Jackson, chairman of the Bible study committee (1235 Tennessee street, Bell 1759), or Miss Marguerite Bliss, chairman of the mission suity committee, 1145 Louisiana street, Bell 1160.
Indiana is considering plans for changing or doing away with the spring vacation. The school year is coming to be so crowded that some changes are becoming imperative.

(Continued from page 1.)
In closing, his address Dean Martin spoke of the changed conditions in Kansas within fifteen years and of the increased responsibilities of the University to the state. "The problems of yester day were solved. So the problems of tomorrow are to have their solution and be rightly settled, provided the old spirit of genuine service is carried into the days to come."
--ducts of the mines.
In the introduction of his address on "Academic Efficiency," Richard C. Machaurin, president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said that he was more impressed by the points of similarity between the Universities of the West and the technical school of the East than by their differences. In speaking of the comparisons in investigations of technical institutes he said that the cost of the training of the student was not sufficient to determine its value.
President Maclaurin emphasized the "do it yourself" method of instruction used in his school as producing the best results. To secure efficiency, President Maclaurin emphasized,it was essential that the character of teachers should be such that they could successfully convey their broad views and outlook to their students.
In his discussion of "The Relation of Geology and Mining to Industrial Arts," Ernest R. Buckley president of the American Mining congress, presented an interesting array of facts concerning past and present and gave an optimistic view of the future. He said seventy-five per cent of the value of manufactured products come from the value of the raw pro
In speaking of the conservation of natural resources, President Buckley favored any movement against much prevailing extravagance, but he emphasized especially the fact that the attempt to diminish the waste in mining might cause an increase in the price of the raw product beyond its profitable use in manufacturing. He advocated that special attention be given to the developing of new materials and the utilization of new forces to secure power and heat. Research is the all prevailing need of the hour maintained President Buckley
