BACK FROM GERMANY.
Professor Ashton Returns With Degree of Ph. D.
Charles H. Ashton assistant professor of Mathematics in the school of Engineering, returned from Europe this fall, in time to begin his work in the University after an absence of a year and a half. He left Lawrence accompanied by his family in May of 1908, for the University of Munich in Germany, where he did work in the department of mathematics, and took his doctor's degree there last spring. Last summer after finishing his work in the University, he and his family made a short tour through a part of Europe, stopping at Bern, Paris, Berlin, and London.
"The entrance requirements are higher in the German Universities, than here, a first year man having about the same standing as a Junior in the University of Kansas."
In speaking of the differences between the Universities of Germany and those of the United States, Professor Ashton said, "There is such a great difference between the two that they cannot be compared. No individual attention is given to the students. No record is kept of class "cuts" or recitations and the only examinations held are those which applicants must pass before being granted their degrees. No rules of conduct are imposed by the University Authorities, the students being held responsible only to the laws of the city. Although the German student does an enormous amount of hard work he may without question do none at all.
Prof. P. F. Walker and Prof. Geo C. Schaad of the school of Engineering attended the annual meeting of the Kansas Water, Gas, Electric Light and Electric Railway association, which was held at Wichita Thursday and Friday of this week.
The German Corps which correspond to our own fraternities have an entirely different purpose from those of the United States. They are merely drinking and duelling clubs and the first year in the University the student who is a member of a corps does no work at all.

The club now numbers fifty but expects to enlarge with one hundred as the limit. Several young women belong and signify their intention of playing this year. Those desiring membership are requested to present their names to the committee composed of Professor Blackmar and Crawford. There will be a meeting of the club Tuesday, in room 110. All members are urged to be present.
BASKET BALL MATERIAL.
High School Stars Will Try Out For Team.
In this year's Freshman class of the University are many high school basketball stars. From Manual of Kansas City are Wheelock and Duesman, both experienced players. From Central come the Woodbury brothers, one of whom is a star center. From Cooper college of Sterling is Masemore a star forward.
These with the more or less experienced material should make a very strong team for the class of '13.
