HAVE RELICS OF THE EARLY DAYS
CHANCELLOR FRASER'S NOTE BOOKS RECEIVED.
They Show That University's Sec ond Head Taught Ten Subjects in 6 Years.
The class-room and special lecture notes of Chancellor John Fraser were received at Spooner library the first of the week. They were sent as a gift to 'the University from Mrs.Fraser, who is living in Madison, Wis.
By the class-room notes, which are found in four volumes, it is shown that during the six years he was the head of the University. General Fraser taught political economy, international law, sociology, psychology, logic biology, literature, algebra, and poetry.
General Fraser was the second chancellor of the University. He succeeded the Rev. R. W. Oliver in 1868 and held the office until 1874, when James Marvin became chancellor. The building of the structure which now bears his name was the great work which Chancellor Fraser did for the University. He obtained the funds for the purpose from the state legislature and from the sale of city bonds.
Among the notes is a letter addressed to the treasury department at Washington asking for the discarded instruments of the coast survey for the use of the classes in "Praetical Astronomy." The letter is dated July 25,1868.
When General Fraser became chancellor in 1868, the enrolment of the University was 122 and the faculty had five members When he retired in 1874, the at tendance was 272 and there were ten members of the faculty
General Fraser's Civil war uniform and weapons, which are preserved in the case on the stairs leading to the history reading room in the library, were also presented to the University by Mrs. Fraser.
A SOPHOMORE FARCE
An Innovation for This Year's Prom.
An entirely new feature is to be incorporated in the Sophomore prom this spring, when a musical comedy is to be introduced as a part of the entertainment. The comedy is called "Miss Independence" and has been written by Geo. W. Bowles sophomore in the College.
The plot of the play is woven about college life at the University. It deals with the objections of parents to their sons participating in college athletics and also includes a college romance Eight musical numbers, besides the opening chorus, have been written by Mr. Bowles, and will be sung by the company. Dancing will also be introduced.
The comedy is being printed in booklet form by a Kansas City music house and will be placed on sale on the night of the prom. The try-out for places in the east will be held this evening; at 7:00 o'clock in Fraser hall Twenty-five sophomores will be chosen for the different parts

University Orchestra Pleaseed Large Audience.
GAVE GOOD CONCERT.
Before a large audience, the University orchestra gave its seventh annual spring concert in Fraser hall Thursday eveningThe orchestra has been increasing in merit each year and the character of the music and the excellence of its execution this year was all that could be asked.
Each number was favorably received. Perhaps the selection from Beethoven and the minute of Dean Skilton's own composition were the most pleasing to the audience. The solo by Professor Hubach was given the usual cordial reception which his singing receives.
The students and members of the faculty who constitute the orchestra this year are:
Director—Dean C. S. Skilton Members—Concert-master, Professor Wort Morse; Beatrice Dalton, Helen Hill, Louis LaCoss Benjamin Leventhal. Second violins William Hoyt, Frances Smith Reginald DePoe, Scott Johnson Violas—Mrs. B. J. Dalton, Professor Wermicke.

PRESIDENT WATERS SPOKE
"Combine Genius With Judg ment,' He Said.
"Genius standing alone uncombined with judgment is the poorest equipment a man can have," said President Henry J. Waters of the Kansas State Agricultural College, in his address in chapel yesterday morning. Mr. Waters emphasized the value of common sense and a development of judgment in contrast with a dependence on mere genius.
The fear of making mistakes was the first of the common college mistakes discussed by President Waters. Such an attitude makes men cowardly, he said. The man who does things makes mistakes, but not the fundamental one of doing nothing. In speaking of the students' mistakes in an improper division of time President Waters contrasted the "good fellow" and the "grind," and suggested the need of individual inventories to determine the proper station between the two extremes.
"The greatest good any study can give you is to make you do cheerfully what you do not want to do," said President Waters in presenting the mistake which students make when they seek to dodge difficulties. The college diploma should not be undervalued because it means that the student has made good in his first test. The world at large deires at least this much evidence that the man who asks for its rewards is not a quitter.
Vance Day went to Kansas City yesterday to spend Saturday and Sunday with his parents.
