WALLOP AGGIES
K. S. A. C. BEATEN BY SCORE OF 50 TO 12.
The Jayhawker basket ball squad walloped the K. S. A. C. quintet last night to the tune of 50 to 12. The contest was rather tame throughout, the Farmers being no match for the splendid team-work of the Kansans. Inaccurate goal throwing on the part of the visitors was the cause of their defeat last night. Captain McCune of the varsity squad and Woodward did excellent work connecting with the basket. Ferris played a consistent for the Farmers.

DR. CARRUTH BACK AT K. U.
After a Long Trip Abroad—Spent Six Months Studying in Berlin, Germany.
The Carruths went to Germany last July with Mrs. E. V. McCullom, their daughter and her husband. For a short time they traveled over the Rhine country and through southern Germany, but for the past five months Dr. Carruth has been residing in Berlin where he could easily reach the great German libraries.
W. H. Carruth, vice-Chancellor of the University returned to Lawrence after a half year's trip to Germany. Dr. Carruth went to Europe to gather material for his text book on the German Historical Novel which he has been working on for several years. He has now collected his materials and notes and the book will soon be completed.
While abroad Dr. Carruth m many famous scholras and lit  ary men. He is trying to a range for Professor Engel, or of his German friends, to con to this country and deliver series of lectures at some the larger American Univers ities.
The Universities of Washington, Idaho and Oregon are attempting to form an athletic conference that will debar all freshmen from athletics.
On their return from Germany the Carruths were entertained in Madison, Wisconsin by their daughter and in Chicago by Bruce M. Hill, formerly a member of the faculty here. Next Thursday evening Professor Engel and wife will give a reception for Dr. and Mrs. Carruth to members members of the faculty. Vice-Chancellor Carruth will take up his duties as head of the German department at the beginning of the new term.
HOSPITALNEEDED
FOR STUDENTS SUFFERING FROM CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.
No Hospital Facilities at Present for Such Diseases—No Danger in Diphtheria Situation.
A striking need for a private hospital at the University for students suffering from contagious diseases has been emphasized during the past few days by the diphtheria epidemic at the University. To escape being placed in the Lawrence pest house, which is being located on the city dump lot, the three students who were quarantined for diphtheria were placed in houses having no modern conveniences. The warm weather together with efficient medical aid made quick recovery possible in these instances, but unfavorable circumstances might have resulted seriously.
Doctors Emley and Sudler of the University and Dr. John Rudolph, the county health officer, are in favor of having a cottage or private hospital rented or owned by the University and kept in readiness for the reception of students sick with contagious diseases.
The hospital fee is too small and is not paid by enough students to cover such an emergency as this.
Dr. Charles Emley, University physician, and Arthur English have completely recovered from diphtheria and the quarantine has been raised. James V. Adams is recovering rapidly and will be out in a few days. Wendell McCanles, assistant instructor in public speaking, developed a case of diphtheria from acute tonsilitis and has been quarantined.
There are no other new cases and the epidemic is completely under the control of the medical authorities.
PROF. ABBOTT ENTERTAINED.
Members of Good Government Club Wednesday Evening.
One of the most interesting meetings of the year of the Good Government Club was held at the home of Prof. W. C. Abbott on Louisiana street Wednesday evening. Professor Abbott made the speech of the evening on the "Relation of Education to the Political System." After the paper, the club indulged in a general discussion of the present system of secondary education. The failure of the high school to meet the demands made upon it for more practical work through the weakness of its courses in history, political science, and economics were discussed in an interesting manner by the members of the club.
