CHALLENGES MEN TO COMBAT EVIL
SILVER BELIEVES MEN
SHOULD SACRIFICE MORE
History Should be Studied Philosophically-Greatest Men Were Not Selfish.
"A Challenge to Men" was the subject of ex-chapplain H. Perey Silver in his talk before the Y. M. C. A. at the regular Thursday evening meeting. "The challenge to Men," according to the speaker, is a call to combat the evil of the world.
"One must have a life purpose," said Mr. Silver, "to accomplish anything of note in any branch of work, but men should not concentrate all their time to business but should give some time to working for God. This he can do only by linking his practical knowledge with the divine aid of God. In India only six women out of every thousand can read, and yet many people refuse to give to foreign missions. You need not give your entire life but the best you can give.
"If people would give even a fraction of the time they give to their business, the work of charity would be greatly increased. No man can do his best if he is not willing. This is why some business men sacrifice their physical strength and others become nervous wrecks. In this day of the world we measure a man's success by the money he makes. However, we should measure it by the golden rule. It should not be what one takes out of the world but what he puts into it. Moreover, the mad rush for gold has a tendency to make the world backward.
backward.
"History should not be studied as most people study it. If one studies it philosophically, he would get a different view. A knowledge of what forces tend to make heroes would show that those who sacrificed everything for personal ambition, never improved the country's conditions. On the other hand those who did not try to take everything they could out of the country generally were triumphs, according to the golden rule.
"We have received wonderful blessings and as a result wonderful responsibilities. Surely since we have been made stronger, we ought to be willing to make others stronger and more able to resist the many temptations of life. So if we keep the sunshine of God by sharing our blessings, and use our lives for the uplift of men, we will have successfully answered the challenge of God."
Will Compile Data.
Before Mr. Silver's talk there was special music by John Power.

VOLLEY BALL IS LATEST
Followers of New Sport Will Play Lawrence Y. M.
The game of volley ball is the latest sport which has been taken up at the University. C.B. Root is at present teaching the game to his gymnasium classes. The game is a cross between tennis and handball in that the hands are used to bat the ball over a net strung across the middle of the court. The regulation court is 50x25 and the top of the net is seven and one-half feet from the floor. The number of men on a side is six. Larger courts are sometimes used, and ten or twelve men represent each team.
men represent
A challenge has been received from the volley ball team of the Lawrence Y. M. C. A. Mr. Root said this morning: "The Y. M. C. A. believe they are invincible at the game but the enthusiasm which the men are showing for the game convinces me that we can make a good showing in the contest, which will be held in a couple of weeks."
The gymnasium instructor will reduce the number of men to six, who will play for Kansas at that time.

Thirty members of the classes in Remedial and Corrective Agencies and Sociology went to Leavenworth Thursday where they visited the State, Federal, and Military prisons.

It has been decided to have buttons made to be worn by members of the freshman class at Harvard. This custom has been followed for some years by the senior class with success, and it is thought that it will be even more advantageous to commence the wearing of buttons during the freshman year.
The University of California is to receive $750,000, by the terms of the will of the late E. V. Cowell, a graduate of that institution in the class of 1880. The sum is to be used for the erection of a students' gymnasium, a hospital, and an athletic stadium; each structure is to have $250,000 devoted to it.
