He may enter a Lawyer ' s office, and thus obtain the practical experience so essential to success at the bar; or he may carry on some independent work, and thus be self-supporting while pursuing his legal studies. These ends are accomplished because this School is located in a metropolis, and Because the sessions are all held at night A three-years course leads to the degree of L.L.B., and Diploma admits to the bar.

II . ( ' . S mngler. Dr. Frank Strong. DR. FRANK STRONG was born at Venice, New York. He secured his academic education at Auburn High School, entered Yale Col- lege, and graduated from that institution in 1884 with a high rank in scholarship. While in college he took an active part in univer- sity affairs as a writer for the college periodicals, member of Glee Club, and mixed up in University evants in general. After graduation, he entered the Law School and completed the two-years course in one year. After graduation, he continued his law studies with Hon. S. E. Payne, now chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the House of Rep- resentatives, until admitted to the bar at Rochester in 1886. Then, mov- ing to Kansas City, he practiced law until 1886, when he became Princi- pal of the St. Joseph, Mo., High School. After filling this position four years, he was called to Lincoln, Nebraska, where he was Superintendent of the Lincoln schools until 1895. The years ' 95-97 he spent in gradu- ate study at Yale, where he received the degree Ph.D. In the fall of ' 99 DR. STRONG became President of the University of Oregon. In the spring of 1902, after careful consideration, DR. STRONG was called to fill a new position as Chancellor of our University. Since the advent of our new Chancellor there has been a great awak- ening in University circles. For over a year the University had been without a definite head. Acting Chancellor Spangler was severely handi- capped by poor health, as Chancellor Snow had been for the last year of his service. Kansas L ' niversity had not retrograded; she was merely slumbering and needed an awakening potion. Shortly after DR. STRONG ' S arrival, it was evident that this rejuvenator, or call it what you may, had been found. University enthusiasm was aroused, with all its beneficial results apparent on every hand. Among other marked improvements was a slumbering draught administered to the Disciplinary Committee and subsequent inactivity on the part of this lawless organization. As Sen- iors we feel proud of the brace our University has taken. And if it ever be our lot to lose our present Chancellor, here ' s hoping we may find one of equal merit to become his successor.

SCHOOLMATES, Alumni, and Friends of Kansas University: The Class of 1903 is gone; our connection with our Alma Mater will soon be severed, but in passing we hope to leave the ' 03 JAYHAWKEB as our portrait in the Kansas University Hall of Fame. We pass no judgment on the book, hence make no apologies for its existence. Yours is the task of judging and apologizing. Should anyone happen on a good apology, please communicate it to the editors at once, if you can find their address. We will perhaps not be in town for the next few days. We prefer the railroad to the rail-ride, and besides, under- stand that black is not to be the prevailing thing in summer costumes. Then, too, we withdraw out of consideration for our Alma Mater; for there are but few good marksmen among the students and Faculty, and the window-glass, Freshmen, and other bric-a-brac might be costly to replace. But we shall return, and will be glad to settle any little disputes by a game of ping-pong or tug-of-v ar contest. The chief complaint arises from those who have not had the distinc- tion of dishonorable mention in the JAYHAWKER. But, dear friends, list to the voice of reason. Your roast would have necessarily curtailed the ads the life blood, as it were, of this voluminous volume, and the non-voluminous manager. That is one of the drawbacks to an annual, the necessity of ads to keep itself and the manager on their feet. So we would advise future classes to profit by our experience and elect one of their multimillionaires as manager. Never elect a poor boy whose school- life you know has been one continuous struggle with poverty. There have been faint attempts at jokes made in the ' 03 JAYHAWKEB. We thought of giving fifty cash prizes to the first fifty who proved the presence of the same herein, but the management did not consider it a paying proposition, and wanted to substitute a coupon voting contest for the handsomest Senior. However, we thwarted that plan by threaten- ing to compromise the question with Seyster. So it was agreed to get out an appendix to the book within the next month, clearly explaining all attempts at the ludicrous. Watch for advertisement of same. And thus we greet you all, and pray your leniency; you who have been Seniors appreciate our position; you who shall be some time restrain your feelings for the present. We leave but two thoughts with you don ' t waste your time looking for us. and elect a rich manager of your JAYHAWKEK. Arts School. THE Arts School is the mater familias, as it were, of the University. It was the magic bean from which h as sprung the great vine which Jacks and Jills yearly climb to meet the giant World at the end. And the giant has magic harps and hens that lay golden eggs and heavy money-bags, which Jack or Jill must spend, perhaps, the rest of their life in trying to obtain. The students of the Arts School are a diversified lot. The youth of the world who has no taste for Law enters the Arts School, takes work in Sociology and Geology, flunks out, finds he has a taste for Law after all, and enters that school the next term. The athlete pursues the same course, except he usually has wise counsel offered him and becomes a disciple of Blackstone at the beginning of his career. In the Arts School are found many future pilots of future Americans; by taking two and one-half terms of Pedagogy, said pilots are furnished on graduation with one of Prof. Olin ' s patent galvanized rudders, which enables them to better withstand the sore-buffeting waves when onc e they start on their course with heavy- laden ship. Ambitious society sports flock to the standard of the Arts School and take work under Profs. Dunlap and Blackmar, in whose classes they can meet all the swell maidens and work a stand-in. Also in Prof. Miller ' s classes are found future poets and literary lights who seek to learn how to accurately measure the.r metrical feet and discourse wisely on the stars. Aspirants for a D.D. must needs read the New Testament in Greek under Prof. Wilcox, and to complete their training take courses in Finance and Money and Banking under Prof. Cone. 8 Practically all the sylph-like Oreads of Mt. Oread inhabit this school. They glide with airy tread through the south wing of Fraser Hall (lower floor) and congregate in deep and meditative mood on the stairways of the same. Sometimes a Freshman maiden is seen on the third floor of the north wing, but long ere her Senior year she wises up and confines her wanderings to the region of the bulletin-board, where she can hold sweet converse with the swell guy and get in the way of the Engineers and the Freshman who wants to read the Y. M. C. A. notices. Such is the School of Arts, kind reader. Our classification is not com- plete, but we must leave them here. Behold, we introduce them to you one by one.

OST happy indeed is that commonwealth which to its own unsur- | passed magnificence adds that of the greatest men of the world ' s 1 V 1 grandest era. Such is America. Prophets have promised; ora- tors have praised; poets have sung; historians have chronicled all have not told the half. With that greatness which goodness alone can give, with that strength which suicide alone can take away, America stands a product of the excellence of moral citizenship, and a tribute to the democ- racy of free institutions. To the greatness of America no other has contributed more than has the State of Kansas. And of those things which give greatness to Kansas, the present permits a mention of but one. Our University is the object of pride to every true Kansan. Here are trained those whose care is the preservation of all that gives wealth and eminence to our State. Those who are to make our laws, and care for our peace; measure our lands, and build our bridges; care for our health; educate our children. The University is the strongest safeguard of our civilization, and the surest guaranty of our peace and prosperity. Kansas has advanced, and with it, its needs. To supply one of the greatest needs the professional courses were place d in the University cur- riculum. The first of these, the Law Department, was organized in 1878, with James Woods Green as Dean. The course was optional, to be taken in connection with collegiate work. The plan was not as successful as that later formed by the Dean, making the Law Department not an elec- tive, optional idleness, but a separate, integral part of the University. At first the Dean and his assistants were compensated only by assess- ing a small tuition fee ($15.00) upon each student. Of necessity they could neither abandon the practice of their profession, nor give all their time and attention to the work of instructing. But with patriotic devofiou they persevered, and their perseverance was productive of good results. In 1880 a class of eight members was graduated. That year marked the going of the assistant, Mr. Patterson, and the coming of Marcus Summerfield. Because of the discouraging accommo- dations, the progress of the school was very slow There was no library, and no money appropriated for the purchase of one. There was no fit p!ac-e for recitations, and little likelihood of an early provision. But the generous interest of the Dean brought relief. His own private library, the treasure and best friend of a lawyer, was brought up and placed at the disposal of the students. Moved perhaps by this unselfish kindness, the Regents appropriated $500 to be expended for books This would buy about one hundred! The Dean had donated five hundred volumes himself. How magnificently kind in them thus to supplement the liberal bounty hitherto brought by their charging a library fee of $5 for the privilege of reading the Dean ' s books! Men have come and gone. Gone wiser and better if they followed the example and barkened to the teaching of that great and good man who has yielded up in sacred devotion to his country and profession all hope of that judicial eminence and political preferment to which his fitness en- titled him. But, like Horatius, he has stood unfalteringly at his duty, through better and worse (mostly wor e), and to-day, venerable with years, has the unbounded respect and affection of all the boys who have learned from him, not only the law of the land, but that of gentlemanly manhood and courteous good-fellowship. How incomparably more of true nobility there is in choosing to be good rather than to be great! He who does so is the greatest of the great. Such a man cannot go away from us forever. When he has been freed from the poor, crumbling clay of mor- tality, and is with us only in the treasured memory of grateful hearts, the good he has done will live in the lives made more serviceable, and the characters made more beautiful. At different times associated with the Dean, in the capacities of In- structors or Lecturers, have been men famed for their achievements, and for their learning in the I aw. Of these the Law School has furnished one of the best. William B. Brownell, a graduate of the Class of ' 86, served the school as a notably successful Instructor until January first, ' 99, resigning to take up his duties as County Attorney of Douglas County, to which position he had been called by the suffrages of the people. A great favorite with the students, his work was of that high order which only thoroughness and method can give. To the position made vacant by his resignation. William L. Burdick was called. Dr. Bur- dick is still a valued Professor in the Law School, where his influence, though strenuous, has been strikingly for the better. A profound scholar and rigid disciplinarian, he is eminently fitted for the training of those who will be called to preserve our social system and shape the policy of our commonwealth. The increased attendance at the opening of the school year of ' 99 made it necessary that another Instructor be added to the Faculty. For the second time the School could satisfy its own need. William E. Higgins. a graduate of the Class of ' 94, and since a practitioner, was called to the position. Professor Higgins, though especially strong in the Law of Insurance and of Wills, has a grasp and mastery of the principles of Law possessed by few living lawyers. But to name the Lecturers is to call to memory the trials of famous cases and the accomplishment of masterly achievements. A. W. Benson, than whom in the learning of a great lore none are more powerful, and in the practice of which none more forceful and eloquent; a man who. were he more a politician and less a jurist, would to-day be an honor and adornment to the highest judicial tribunal of our land. Judge S. A. Riggs, eminent as a jurist and famous as a practitioner, having in the highest degree that which is necessary to an attainment of both learning, honesty, and 29 aggressiveness. Judge McFarlane, learned, logical, forceful, executive. These are the men who make the Law School of Kansas University second to none in the land. The Law School has not been a favored institution; but, like all that is best, a survival of adverse circumstances. Huddled about in out-of-the- way places in Eraser Hall, cooped up in old North College with ghosts, rats, Fine Arts, and other things not calculated to promote the course of justice, removed to Fraser Hall to be sardined some more it has been indeed an existence fraught with the worst that is in uncertainty and disquietude. But a good cause waits not long for favor. The Law School has re- ceived that most pleasant of all gratification appreciation. The course has been extended, and fifty thousand dollars appropriated for a Law Building. Upon a past so dark a beauteous morn is rising. How satis- fying the hope that the evil days have gone to come not ever again, nor the years when we have said, There is no profit in them. All is promise. And that promise will Kansas University sacredly keep. For, with all that is vital to the best that is in our State, it would not be in keeping with the earnest honesty of the past to be lax in endeavor, or careless in responsibility. All is promise. And a promise that portends its own ful- filment. Though it has been Ad astra per aspera to the stars we are, and from that exalted position to which Destiny and Excellence have brought us, we see a prosperous commonwealth, rich in the treasures of the earth, and in all that bounty of culture which training can give to intellect, and virtue to moral excellence. The Graduating Class. In the pen picture of the individuals of the graduating class, it is the intention to speak of those characteristics which give individuality and which distinguish that person from others. It is one of the kindest provisions of a beneficent Providence that no two p eople are alike in every particular. This world would be most unbearably monotonous if they were so. Too many are too nearly alike, and this makes it at least bad enough. But the foibles of one are a not unpleasant diversion from the foibles of another. Human nature is so constituted that weakness ap- peals more, and may be remembered longer, than strength, unless that strength be gigantic. A man, at best, is but a bundle of good and bad; and too often an estimate of one is only a prejudiced opinion or an unholy wish. We like to remember our enemies by their faults, our friends by their virtues. And it is a proof of true friendship that one attempts to discourage the weakness, and encourage the strength, of another. It is a thing laden with beautifying nobility to remember in gratitude, and forget in charity. Because of friendly solicitude, strength, rather than weakness, is spoken of here. As you look at these mute counterfeits of faces once s o familiar, please remember your own weaknesses and forget theirs. J. Q. Louthan. BAI.KS.

THE most strenuous fellow in Kansas University (with the excep- tion of Jack Cloves ) is the Engineer. From his entrance to his graduation the Engineer is engaged in one ceaseless struggle with Profs, lathes, scientific Dutch, and the Laws. What time he has left he spends in forging horseshoes or surveying the Campus from the fourth story of Fraser Hall. The Engineer is noted as being the real aristocrat of Kansas Univer- sity; he never appears in the same costume for more than a half day at a stretch, though other students have been slow in taking up with the style he has been trying for some time to introduce. Though voice training is not one of the defects in the Engineering Course (as it is in the Arts), yet the ambitious mechanics voluntarily submit themselves- and other poor unfortunates to a tortuous training in this branch of art. By arduous practice they have, during this year, learned the chorus to In the Good Old Summer-time and Oh! Didn ' t He Ramble? and many have been the wishes expressed that the aforesaid vocalists would ramble with their songs to a p ' ace where eternal summer- time superlatively reigns. The Engineers are royal entertainers. When a Law or Arts leisurely wanders up to the third floor of Fraser Hall to visit them, no matter how busy they may be, each one drops his work and appoints himself a reception committee of one. The visitor is usually so carefully treated 4 n that he can get down the hill without calling an ambulance; no bones have ever been broken , so far as we know. And no matter how the Law or Arts has felt before his reception, he always has a warm spot for the Engineers vhen he departs, though he is not apt to put them to the trou- ble of entertaining him again in the near future. All the Engineers, including even Ed. Shepherd, get cne square meal a year at their annual banquet. Hera the oil-can exponents meet and hobnob with President Stillwell and lou Flint, and lay p ans for ensnar- ing the Laws. There ' s only one cinch in the School of Engineering that is. a job as soon as you get out of it. Prof. F O. Marvin. C. C. TILLOTSON, E.E Olathe, Kan.

In the Legislature of that year was an unusual number of dyspeptics; something had to be done; drastic measures niu t be taken and behold the logical consequence, the establishment of the Pharmacy School at Kansas University. Lucius E. Sayre was chosen arbiter pilularum and operations began. The Pharmic spends the greater portion of his time and money in Qualitative Analysis and fees. The former lasts from one to three terms according to the quality of the student, and the latter from two to four years, according to ihe quantity of the course. The average Pharmic re- cieves his legal permit to fill doctors ' prescriptions and small boys with soda water at the end of two, three, or four years if he is a fair student and a good tactician. Good students without tactics require six years as a rule. There are three classes of students in this school viz., the boys, Searcy and girl. The presence of the latter class is in itself a sermon on the perverseness of mankind, and a very good example, in the words of the poet, of Buttinskies where angels wouldn ' t ramble. There was a time when the Pharmacy School contained practically all the equestrians in the University, and their well-organized cavalry could endure any hardships and come off from the most rigid inspections with not a single demerit. But their palmy superiority was short-lived, for a thorough re-organization under Captains Cady and Bartow converted practically all the members into infantrymen, the cavalry ' s colonel being about the only one who would not give up his faithful charger. Xo Pharmic who considers himself a gentleman will accept his degree until he can mix a first-class cocktail out of wood alcohol and corn syrup, he being his own judge as to excellence of same. We never knsw a degree to be refused. 1 . Detni. James L. Murray. James A. Searcy. Rolla R. Lindburg. JAMES L. MURRAY Kingman, Kan. For I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

THE DEPA OF FI ' School of Fine Arts. PEOPLE east of the Mississippi are apt to labor under the painful delusion that the extent of Fine Arts in Kansas is experting on a Moline plough or scientifically smashing joints; but, fellow-coun- trymen of the Orient, we beg to announce that here at the University of Kansas we have a School of Fine Arts; and we would further stun you by telling you that said school includes instruction in Vocal and Instru- mental Music, Drawing, Painting, and Elocution. The School of Fine Arts and Uncle Jimmie Merys occupy the Univer- sity barn dignified by the name North College. The Library catches the overflow of drawing and painting students, who congregate in its attic. The laboring music student lives in an atmosphere of Art and boiled cabbage; the former is inherently present in North College; the latter floats delicately up the stairway from the apartments of the janitor below. Contrary to tht usual custom practiced in Art studios, no cigarettes are smoked in the Library, owing to the ever-vigilant eye of Carrie Wat- son. This is one serious drawback to the Art student at Kansas Univer- sity, for how can we ever hope to produce a Gibson or a Christy with- out the inspiring cigarette? 54 One of the most potent factors in the upbuilding of the School of Fine Arts has been Prof. Penny ' s pony. Said animal has enabled the Pro- fessor to Fave much time, which he could devote to his work, and never fails to get him up the hill in time to play the overture for chapel exer- cises. For several years it was a debated question as to whether this animal of burden was a horse or jackass, but just before Dr. Williston left he made an examination and classification at least half way satis- factory. He pronounced it as belonging to a species now practically ex- tinct, of which the next best known specimen is Prof. Lincoln ' s charger. One of the most unique pi eductions of the Arts School was a calendar which appeared about a year and a half ago. We understand it was the work of a blind student and that the posing was done by inmates of the State School for Maimed and Crippled The Art student usually has dreamy eyes and an air of melancholia. They become wedded to their art at an early age, taking her for bet- ter or worse, as the world will judge. As a rule, the great majority could be better, some few worse. For just as in economics you find few wide- awake students, so among the great number of Fine Art students will you find few artists of the higheet grade. One of the adjuncts of this school is the Freshman class of Vocal Culture or Voice Training. The poor Freshman is coerced into either public speaking or this voice training, and between the two evils some choose one, some the other, as the lesser. Toward the end of th3 term the Freshman Choral Club appears as one of the head-liners in the Friday chapel program. It is considered a good joke by the gentle- men to shoulder all the blame for such performance on the poor ladies, by not putting in their appearance. Among its many redeeming features, the School of Fine Arts has one that stands out pre-eminent the tuition brings many shekels into the cof- fers of our Alma Mater. George B. Penny.

McClung, Dean School of Medicine, THE world has felt the need of doctors since the days of Esculapius; Kansas began to feel their need with the advent of Mary Ellen, but their necessity not until the reign of Carrie. The latter was the straw that broke the camel ' s back, and the wily law-makers, seeing that more doctors would be required to prescribe Kentucky ' s remedies, and believing firmly in home industries, founded the School of Medicine at Kansas University. The average Medic smokes cigarettes and smells of formaline. He is a close analyzer of human nature and can probe your inmost depths quicker than a Phi Belt can get up a case with a Pi Phi. Practically all the students in this school are young men. There was but one young lady entered this year; she was always more or less of a mystery to all who came in contact with her. She never revealed her full name, and was known simply as Mary. She never revealed her home town, presumably to avoid paying tuition, though probably to deceive her parents, for we understand they never knew of her sojourn in the Univer- sity. Though her heart was in the work, yet she did not have the proper spirit; she wasted away in attempting to maintain the awful pace set by Shaeffer and Baxter, and at the end of three months completely disap- peared in a cloud of mystery. The school suffered two other losses this year. Little Harry, so young and tender, had a hard time entering the school in the first place; his youthful appearance was against him; and though he exhibited a Spar- 58 tan spirit of gameness, he kept growing thinner and thinner, and finally had to withdraw. He felt very badly cut up over it, but would never accept any consolation from his fellow-students. Jacob had a bad case of appen- dicitis soon after his entrance, and, though Adams and Voeth did all they could for him, he succumbed. Despite these losses, the school is in a pros- perous condition. Who knows but when thy summons comes to join that innumerable caravan that moves to that mysterious realm where each shall take his chamber in the silent halls of death, thou shalt not go guided by one of these embryonic doctors sprouting at Kansas University? Xote. The Senior Medics handed in their pictures, but, after one glance, they were promptly returned with a rebate. We were afraid their future practice might be impaired should their photos all appear on the same page. Besides, being legitimate doctors, they should not advertise. 59 The Graduate School. THE student fresh from the high school is prone to lay plots as to how he will come up to Kansas University, remain four years, absorb knowledge, and carry off the world ' s learning with him in a vest-pocket edition on graduation During his Freshman year he has no time to think of his erstwhile plan; in his Sophomore year he begins to realize it is a stupendous task he has set himself; during his Junior sojourn he loses sleep working overtime to carry out his project, and then decides the next year that to fully accomplish his design he must come back for a year or so of extra work. To accommodate such students there is a Graduate School at Kansas University. To show that there are quite a few belonging to the class of students referred to above, we need only say that the average enrollment in this school is about seventy-five. These students, as a rule, are after one of four degrees viz., Master of Science, Master of Arts, Electrical En- gineer, or Civil Engineer. Each one of these degrees requires at least one year ' s residence work after graduation. There is also the degree Doctor of Philosophy offered, to obtain which at least three years of work after obtaining an A.B. is required. In the Graduate School we see the mercenary class of students. As a rule, they are those who want to better a position or make good some place where they are at present unable. So they labor for the prestige which an A.M., M.S., E.E., C.E., or Ph.D. tacked on to their names will give them. This school is the Carlsbad for defunct pedagogues who have been forced to give way to some higher-degreed rival; for, as Boards of Educa- tion usually go, they consider a fool with a Ph.D. as of twice more value than a wise man with an A.B. The Ego Sum, or, in other words, the Dean of this School, is Prof. Blackmar, widely known as an author, and authority on Sociology. He came into the position in 1896, his work having been previously performed by a committee. F . W . Blackmar Dean. 60 c M. A. STAIXER President MYUON HUMPHREY V r ice-President ROXAXA OLOROYD Secretary DEAX ROSK Treasurer Yell: Let her rip let her roar, Let her go once more, Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk! 1904! OXE score and seven months ago our Alma Mater brought forth upon Mount Oread a class conceived in new ideals and dedicated to the proposition that not all education is derived from books. Now we are engaged in the serious task of testing whether this class or any class so purposed and so conceived can long endure. We have come to ded- icate a page of this great Annual to the achievements it has wrought and to the life it has lived. If records of daring, of spirit, and of life avail aught in such an estimation, the validity of ' 04 ideals stands unquestioned and unassailed. For the tiny filaments of its influence have insinuated themselves into all the tissues of University life, and the Junior Class to- day is the great nervous system of our student body. The school will lit- tle note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what that class did here. The living spirit of loyalty which it has bequeathed to the school is beyond the Seniors ' power of dedication. It is for the Sen- iors, the departing, rather to be dedicated here to a like loyalty for their Alma Mater, and from this honored class take an increased devotion to tke school for which the Juniors gave their last full measure of devotion; and whereas, as classmen, Nature endowed them with no class spirit, to here highly resolve, as Alumni, to experience a new birth of broadness, and return to their fostering mother the buried talents of a recreant duty. C. H. R., ' 04. ' 6 1 The Junior Prom. ALTHOUGH there are many social functions during the school year in the Uni versity, none of them compare to the Junior Prom for the general mixing up of all University factions, cliques, students, and Professors. Early in his Junior Year the bashful youth who has hith- erto left unscathed the dance floor, hies himself sneakingly down to Eldridge Hall during the afternoons and learns a few stunts in the way of the light fantastic. Three months before the Prom he has his girl spiked, and for three weeks before the event he plans as to how he will evade the wily Sophomore and organizes his Freshman bodyguard. For the Sophomore, too, the Prom is quite a crowning event. It is his last chance to even up scores with his old rival, the Junior. He considers it great sport to meet the Junior as the latter is coming out with his ladye faire, and divest him of the ornaments of higher civilization. It is also considered a good stunt to give the Junior President a pressing invitation to a moonlight boat-ride on the Kaw during the hours of the Prom fes- tivities. The Sophomore also tries to make the Prom a larrupin ' , red-hot success in other ways. The Profs are usually very forbearing during the Prom season; they drag out their dress suits from their secluded hiding-place where they have remained since the installation of the last Chancellor carefully brush them and go unmolested on their way to the big doin ' s. They usually stand around and look bored through the Farce, and then depart at ten, having had a delightful time. There is one class that enjoys the Prom always. It ' s not the Fresh- menthey ' re too scared of the Sophs; it ' s not the Sophs they ' re too scared of the Freshmen ; it ' s not the Juniors they ' re thinking of the expense and the whereabouts of their President; but there is one class that heartily enjoys the Prom. 62 FRED W.

Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk! 1905! r | HE Class of 1905 is unique in this one respect: it claims no origi- nality, it has developed no characteristics, and aspires to none. 1 The Sophomores, as a class, have never been prominent in Athlet- ics. This is due. however, entirely to their loyalty to their Alma Mater, for as soon as a man develops particular skill in football or baseball, he is sacrificed to the first team, which of course deprives him of the privi- lege of representing his class. This is but one of the many instances where Sophomore talent and ability reflect not upon the class, but upon the University. The fighting strain runs strong in the members of 1905. This is true to such an extent that, during a class campaign for the election of officers, the chief question asked concerning a candidate is, Can he scrap? It is needless to say that an observation of these requirements has won for the class a firm position in prominent University affairs. The class stands together as one unit all classes do, of course. The Sophomores, however, carry this to the extreme of religiously passing every bill brought before the class. This may be the result of early training in their Freshman year, when a certain barn-repairing bill was always so unanimously laid upon the table. The fact that at some not far distant time the Class of 1905 will have to give a prom, present a play, and edit an annual, does not worry the members. For if the Class of 1904 can do these things, the 1905 people are confident of success. 63 May-pole Scrap. WE have spoken of the Junior Prom as being the best social func- tion for mixing up of the students. The May-pole Scrap is un- doubtedly the best barbaric function for bringing the students to- gether. In fact, we believe the students get in closer touch, one with an- other, at the May-pole Scrap than at the Prom. This custom had died out at the University until revived by the Class of 1902. The Class of 1903 took it up with renewed vim and gave the hot- test fight ever witnessed in the history of the University. Since then the contests have been rather tame, owing to the barring of all other classes except the Freshman and Sophomore. We trust you shall have witnessed something better this year than the last two have been. The Profs take no part in this contest, provided they have the gentle- manly good sense to tip their hats to the pole, or the cowardice to run. We never knew but one Prof to do the latter, and he would have known better had Nature endowed him with the gentlemanly instinct to any degree whatever. The May-pole itself usually consists of a piece of 4-inch gas-pipe about 20 feet long, which the University invariably donates to the Freshmen some dark night a week or so before the Scrap. Then some loyal girl, who has her eye on the office of class secretary for next year, makes an eight-ply canvas flag, on which she places the class numerals in class colors. This flag is then tied to the pole with an inch cable. The class offers a prize several weeks in advance for the most offensive decoction of tar, turpen- tine, axle grease, lamp-black, rosin, molasses, et cetera. After the pole is set up, it is daubed with this prize mixture, and the Freshman is ready for business. The Sophomore comes up to try and interest the Freshman and to get tied up about eight o ' clock on the morning of May 1st. After a brief strug- gle, in which Soph, May-pole, Freshman, tar, ropes, and shoes are mixed up indiscriminately, the contest ends. All that is left is for the classes to both declare themselves the winner, for the newspapers to get out double- liners about hoodlumism at Kansas University, and the janitors to spend their spare time fixing up the campus for another Scrap. 64 FRANK CAKRI-TII President FRED RAYMOND Vice-President MYRTLE Fox Secretary ROBERT HOLTZSC in y. Treasurer J. MA K T.OXK Sergeant-at-Arras Yell: The earth we ' 11 move! The stars we ' ll fix! Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk! 1906! MR. EDITOR, It is with much pleasure that I accept the invitation to fill the space in your book kindly given to the Freshmen. The.e are many of us from various parts of different States, and we have not been here long enough to know how to act, perhaps, but such as we are, I will gladly tell you. We went stumbling up the Hill, one at a time, and when we reached the top all out of breath, we looked in conster- nation at the many buildings and professors, heard with sinking hearts the older students talk of Pharensis, Logick, etc., and wondered w r hat in the world we should take. Some of us wandered from building to build- ing, until suddenly we saw Mr. Flint coming by with a stride so confi- dent that we forlorn creatures felt that he at least knew where he was going, and. with a sigh of relief, fell into step behind him, determined to be Engineers. Others drifted into other classe-. but for a!l alike the school work was a confusion of rules and instruments, measuring, and machinery, until the genius of Mr. Carruth was awakened, and he led us triumphantly out of our troubles, assured that he would make us the most promising class that ever entered school. We are proud of our President and of his 6.S versatility in organizing not only the class, but also the University Orches- tra. When he stands on the platform with his back to the audience, we are so pleased that we are thinking of buying him a tall bearskin hat and silver-headed baton worthy of the leader of such a band. For this we should be glad to receive your assistance in securing subscriptions. Yet, with all his ability, he is very modest. Indeed, at the Freshman party he declined to have the sign, Look for Our President in the Band, put up. The class generally is musical; so much so that some of the boys in the vocal class forget their bashfulness and their solemn promise to stay away when they get a chance to sing in chapel. We are fond of Chem- istry too, and spend hours watching the Pharmics, while some of us hope to emulate, the cleverness with which Mr. Cloyes mixes chemical compounds. The great rallying-place for the Freshmen this year has been in the gal- lery during chapel, where we can sit and look at the heroes of the other classes. In the front row, all unmindful of the paper wads flying around, sits Miss Platts, smiling contentedly, and yet a little wistfully, as she gazes at her ideal, Miss Mary Johnson. In the back sits a row of boys, and just in front of them a string of girls, and the whole two rows gig- gle delightedly when Will Shaw springs one of his puns. But the Juniors and Seniors, thickly scattered through the gallery, sniff superiorly at the idea of these boys and girls sitting apart. At the left sits Mr. Marsh, solemnly conversing with the lady by his side, and when a crowd of game boys try to separate them, he only smiles sarcastically at such baby tricks and goes on with his philosophy, his face two yards longer. Near him are Mr. Longernecker and Mr. Curl. The latter, though usually so boy- ishly talkative, now gazes curiously at the Professors on the platform, and Mr. Longernecker, with his broad, substantial smile, also merely watches while Professor Higgins beats time to Carmen, and the Fresh- men sing the second verse. We all think it is very funny when Professor Dunlap, in a bored way, studies the ivy outside the window, and we were highly amused at Professor Wilcox one morning. He came forward to scold the students for not keeping time in the singing, and there he stood, with his hand held poised in the air, the fingers spread out and plainly silhouetted against the background. At this moment the organ started, and the students sang: Such blessings from Thy gracious hand Our humble prayers implore. Among the gallery occupants are Katsuno the Jap, and Fujardo from Porto Rico, who rubs his hands rapturously as he tells Fritz of the fun he will have in the May Scrap. There are many names that you will hear of in future as belonging to the Class of ' 06. These are some that you will probably notice. Mr. Ellis has shown that he will soon come up to the standard of Kit Wilson. Mr. Stewart is becoming a second Mr. Alphin, and Tom Reed, like Mr. Filkins, is learning to conduct his own law-suits. Ned Bailey is loyal to his class, like Mr. Hulburt, although he 66 may not be willing to spill his heart ' s blood for it; and Avon Nottingham is attaining daily, in learning and politeness, a greater resemblance to Roy Winton. Miss Bennett is patterning after Rhea Wilson, and Miss Stevenson is as important in class meetings as Miss Riess in Y. W. C. A. Of course we have yet to learn many things. Mr. Brown, we trust, will learn that when his friends from Topeka are invited to spend a pleasant evening at a fraternity house, it would be better to wait for some other time and place to visit them. We have yet to show Mr. West that the river does not possess great monsters with green eyes and wiggling tails. Mr. Starkie, we hope, will learn to forgive the Professors for calling him by name without an introduction, and there is something still to be taught to the innocent Freshman who asked at the dry goods store for a hood, because Professor Bailey had told her to use a hood in a chemistry exper- iment. Yet I think the reverend Seniors, our Junior friends, and even the Sophomores, will help us by their advice and example to be more loyal to Kansas University, and more studious, and will excuse our mistakes when they think that, after all, we are still but Freshmen. KITTIE. Hygiene. THE organism of the Freshman, fresh from the green fields and run- ning brooks, is apt to receive a severe shock on coming in con- tact with the average boarding-house fare at Lawrence. Hitherto he has been used to three square meals a day and knows not how to har- bor his strength on two square ones per week Wednesday and Sunday dinners. But his Alma Mater here proves herself a Mater indeed to the Freshy, and offers him, under compulsion, a course of lectures on Hygiene. After attentively sleeping through these lectuies, the young hopeful can recognize on sight the germs of yellow fever, scarlet fever, small-pox, and the mumps, and thereby can avoid a close acquaintance with these gentlemen. He also learns how often to take a bath, and receives the advice net to smoke, chew, nor drink. He is told how much cubic air he consumes during his twelve hours of nightly sleep, and is advised to keep his windows open. One of the advantages of these lectures is to enable Doc. Naismith to reveal the fact that he has an M.D. on his name as well as large biceps on his arm. Any Freshman who follows out the instructions received at these lect- ures and avoids the Sophs, will live to a ripe old age and die happy. Middle Law Class. THE Middle Class retrospect reveals a clean record. Some of its members have played fast, clean football. The captain of the team for 1903 is A. Brummage, who made a splendid record this year. E. R. Moses was manager, and F. M. Gold captain, of the Middle baseball team. We were well represented in debate; A. P. Sims and W. C. Huston laid down the law for Nebraska. The organization of the class was effected by electing W. A. Anderson president, E. R. Adams vice- president, J. L. Kirkpatrick secretary, and T. J. Hanlon treasurer. Was there ever a class which had nothing to regret? Ours is not the excep- tion. Ah! yes, we must regret that we have not the name of a lady law- yer on our class-roll. We have lost many of our members in our two- years organization. Some did not return, some became Seniors, intend- ing, no doubt, to distance us in the race for clients. Those Seniors will reach the bar before we do, but who can say which will attain first to the honors of the Supreme Bench? We have fats and leans, and tails and broads, we have students and drones, and rank and file; but, first of all, our men are lawyers. We haven ' t decided how many shall be county attorneys, State representatives, governors of the State, members of Con- gress, or justices of the peace for the city of Cross-roads, but we intend to take all we can get. C. M. MILLS. 68 The Junior Class. THE fall of nineteen-two marked the beginning of a great era in the University of Kansas. Among other great events was the advent of the Law Class of ' 05. This class organized by electing R. E. Timbers president, J. R. Given vice-president, Richard Higgins treasurer, George Stuessi secretary, and G. E. Pees junior editor of the Lawyer. As soon as the Chancellor and the Dean had apprised the State Legislature that the Class of ' 05 was here, it voted a $50,000 Law Building as a worthy tribute to Uncle Jimmie and the Junior Laws. The class early demon- strated its ability in oratory and debate, two of the essentials of a suc- cessful barrister. Three of its members entered the local Oratorical Con- test, and Malcolm Garrard won and should have represented Kansas Uni- versity in the Inter-Collegiate Contest at Atchison. Abijah Fairchild was one of the team which met Missouri in debate; and J. B. Wood represented Kansas University in the Kansas-Colorado Contest. Several of the mem- bers were in the preliminary contests, and in the two years before them will win honors for themselves and their Alma Mater. The Junior Laws excel not only in contests requiring mental capability, but also are among the leaders in Athletics. Twelve of its members were in the football squad, and most of them were in first team games. Two of its members were in the first team basketball, and a third of the baseball squad came from its ranks. In this class are hurdlers, jumpers, hammer-throwers, runners, and athletes enough to furnish Kansas University with a full track team should occarion require. As the Law School starts on the sec- ond quarter of its centennial, it is an auspicious beginning; for the Class of ' 05 is indeed a worthy successor to the band of pioneers of ' 80 who helped our beloved Dean found this, the greatest professional school in the great West. J. Ross HUME. Senior Play. THE Class of 1903 has always been original. When its various mem- bers entered school, they brought with them various original styles of dress never seen before in the institution. They intro- duced an original method of dealing with Sophomores, which subsequent classes have hurried to copy all except the Class of ' 04, which always pikes. We might go on for pages, naming our original stunts, but mod- esty forbids. Suffice it to say we are topping off this grand and gorgeous galaxy of originalities by giving a real Shakespeare play as our Senior Play. The play is given in the real Shakespearian way, the only devia- tion being in the style of costumes; but here again our modesty forbids our speaking further. We only hope you have enjoyed the play i. e., we hope you have been able to appreciate the artistic talent of our actors. Cast of As You Like It. Duke RAY CLIFFORD Frederick C. A.

The Phi Beta Kappa Society is a national organization, with local Chapters in the leading colleges and universities. It was founded Decein- oer 5, 1776, in William and Mary College of Virginia, its object being the promotion of scholarship and friendship among students and graduates of American colleges. T e Kansas Alpha Chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa Society was organized in Kansas University April 2, 1890. The members of the Society are elected at the annual meeting in February, from the members of the Senior Class and graduate students, whose excellence in scholarship and general culture entitles them to such honor. The follow ing members were elected from the Senior Class this year: MARY A. BOYLE, LEE Bit ERTON, B. B. BROXSON, CHARLES E. CARPENTER, MARY CLARK, HELEX CLARK, ISABELLA HA KN. CLARA KLAVMAX, E. W. MURR.VY, IDA McKxiGHT, ELLEN A. NOLAX, NADIXE NOWLIN. Mini AM PALMER, GRACE QUARTEH M A . HELEX STAFFORD, HELEX WILLIAMS. Siyma XL Iota Chapter of Sigma Xi was founded at Kansas University in 1890, among the first Chapters of this Fraternity. The Kansas and Yale Chap- ters are those to which the National Fraternity points with most pride. With the advent of Dr. S. W. Williston as National President, the Society has entered upon a new era of growth, and during the past year Chapters have been established at Columbia, Chicago, Leland Stanford, and California. This Society chooses its members not so much on their general schol- arship as on their ability to do scientific research in one or several lines. The members elected this year are the following: O.

A football season ticket entitles the holder to a membership and vote. At a meeting in the fall officers for the Board are elected and also the Athletic Board and the various committeerren. These elections are some- times exciting affairs, especially when two rival factions or fraternities are striving to elect their man to a position on the Board. At the last meeting of the Association the following officers were elected : JAMES WOOD GREEN President J. N. VAX DER VRIES Vice-President A. T. WALKER Secretary GEO. O. FOSTER General Manager and Treasurer Athletic Board. M. W. STERLING, JAMES NAISMITH, W. C. - BBOTT, FR NK E. B. BTRFORD, JAMES WOOD GREEN, GEORGE L. METCALF, JOHN N. VAN DER VRIES, KARL CIIAIMN, ARTJIIR REECE. The Athletic Board exercises control over all branches of Athletics in which the University competes with other institutions. The Chancel- lor is, ex offlcio, its presiding officer. Its other members are the Professor of Physical Training and four other members of the Faculty elected by the University Council, and the President of the Athletic Association and four students, elected by the Association at its annual meeting.

The Football season of 1902 was marked by Kansas regaining some? of her lo=t prestige on the gridiron. Though not equalling the records of ?ome of the champion team of former years, the ' 02 team, considering everything, was an unusually good one. To begin with, there were only a few seasoned players to balance a team of untried, untaught youngsters. Coach Curtis, by inaugurating a new system of play, made these few vet- erans virtual strangers to the game; but, with untiring efforts and at times over-inspiring language, Curtis whipped a team into shape that proved formidable to the best. Strokes of hard luck coming at critical times greatly handicapped the team in some of the most important games. It seemed that no sooner had a man won an important place on the team than he was forced to quit the game on. account of sickness, injury, or a call from home. The team, too, was lacking greatly in weight. An average of 168 pounds to the man made it necessary to depend upon nwift, accurate team-work and a well-arranged double-line of defense to cope with the heavier teams of rival institutions. Notwithstanding all the drawbacks, the team did some fine work. One of the most remarkable games played was that with Fairmont College at the opening of the season. The Kansas Uni versity team was on that day christened The Mud Hens, and no one who stood in the rain and scanned McCook ' s Bog could have invented a more fitting name. Swamped was the term, used by the players to indicate their downs at the end of each plunge into the enemies ' line of mud defense. It was awful, and some think even worse. The Agricultural College came next, and were easily taken down the cow-path by a fair score. One week later the Washburn-Medic merged (t) combination were utterly sub- irerged by a score of 34 to 0, and then the heavy Kansas City Medics were given a little dose which had been prepared for the Drake University team. A wooling by the Wisconsin Badgers left the feathers of the old Jay Hawk badly roughed and and soiled, but this was expected. The game at Knox College, where the score stood 5 to against Kansas, was perhaps the saddest event of the season. Kansas out-played Knox and should have won handily. Nebraska and Haskell each won, but neither had any great advantage, as the score shows, though both games were closer even than is indicated by this way of judging. The Emporia Teachers were effectively lashed, and then came the joy- ous and soul-stirring finish at Kansas City on Thanksgiving. The old Tiger looked very formidable. He had learned some Kangaroo stunts, and had become fierce and confident. After one of the fiercest, cleanest game? in the history of Kansas City gridiron annals, Kansas won by the unex pected score of 17 to 5. All past short-comings were forgotten. The ' 02 team had redeemed itself and revenged the defeat in ' 01, and so closed the season in a whirl of glory. 1 06 Manager. GEOKGE M. VINTOX. Committee. GEORGE O. FOSTER. DR. JAMES NAISMITH. Encouraging results have been manifest since the recent change in Tennis affairs. Not until this year has the Athletic Association assumed full control and provided for Tennis the same as other sports at Kansas University. It has been thought better by the Association to look after Tennis, than to have annual tournaments run by an individual few. With this change an increased interest has been the result and Tennis spirit was never higher. The fall tournament brought out a nice entry list, while only a few had access to courts for preliminary practice. Pierson and Feitshans were rivals for finals and the exhibition was a pretty one. Pierson ' s endurance, together with steady playing, almost won for him the cham- pionship; but when, to his advantage, game was called on account of darkness, the match was won by Feitshans the following day. On October 15th, 16th, and 17th a tri-State tournament between Kan- sas, Nebraska, and Missouri Universities took place in Lawrence. Cullom Wright, of Nebraska, proved a worthy successor to Famsworth, winning the singles; while Pierson with Feitshans carried off the doubles. The best of Tennis weather prevailed and a number witnessed the tourney. Manager George M. Vinton has done his best to arrange an attract- ive schedule for this spring, and has recently received an invitation for Kansas University to join the big League, consisting of the Universities of Iowa, Illinois. Michigan, Wisconsin, Chicago, and others. This is a high compliment to our University. As we go to press, six men are showing good form for championship. Bliss will probably lead, and. with such men as Clifford, Gentry. Vinton, Edwards, and Feitshans as a mate, will make a fast team to represent us. Since the completion of new courts on the golf links east of McCook this spring, better facilities for Tennis practice will be had, and all to- gether the prospects for Tennis in the future at Kansas University are the brightest that could be desired. G. N. B. io8 Baseball When the season opened the prospects were very bright for an ex- cellent team. More men than ever before signed up for the various positions. Every man was given a fair chance and chosen strictly on his merits. This year the team is handicapped greatly by the loss of Trussell and Malt by, slab artists; however, Alphin, Ames, and Trivitt are doing excel- lent work in the box. We are justly proud of our handsome (?) captain. We feel confidence in him and know he can be depended on at all times. Ach Louie holds down second in great shape, while third is played by one of the team ' s stars, Al Curry. Our new short-stop has an admirable way of Chase-ing balls, while Heap Big John can stop any ball that any pitcher throws and can run like a Kansas whirlwind. The left garden is carefully tended to by the Sexton, while Jimmy Wood ford keeps the insects out of the center field; in the right, Broadbent is bent on unbending all the long benders; but enough. Following is the personnel of the team in plainer language: BOYLE (Captain) First Base. FLINT (Manager I Second Base. CURRY Third Base. CIUSK Shortstop. RAMSEY Catcher. SEXTON Left Field. WOODFORD Center Field. BROADBENT Right Field. TRIVITT Pitcher AMES Pitcher. ALPIIIN Pitcher. MORGAN Substitute. CARTER Substitute. WOLF . . . . Substitute. 109 113 Girls ' Basketball, The following is a summary of the girls ' Basketball season. At the opening of the season only one girl who had played on the team last year came out for practice. But there were many new girls to choose the team from. Miss Bennett and Dr. Naismith coached the team. Miss Rose was elected captain and Miss Mentzer manager. The girls were handicapped from the first in having no suitable place in which to play. But by using the Haskell field the players soon got into good form. The team was reorganized shortly after the holidays and played its first game against the Indian girls at Haskell. The game resulted in defeat for Kansas University. After this game the girls put in some more hard work, and on the second of February met the Ottawa girls here at Lawrence, and, on ac- count of the many fouls called on Kansas University by the Ottawa um- pire, were defeated by a very narrow margin. More hard practice followed and the remaining six games were won by large scores. Only one game was played against a team from a State University. This was the game with Missouri. A game with Nebraska was negotiated, but the plans miscarried and the date had to be can- celled. The fault lay entirely with Nebraska. Following is the list of games and scores: r ii versify.

Although seriously handicapped by the lack of a good court on which to practice, our Basketball team ha nevertheless made an unusually good record. During the course of the season it has taken two trips, each one of which was longer than any trip ever before taken by any Basketball team west of the Mississippi. On the first of these trips our team played three of the best teams in the United States. On this trip we got some very valuable information respecting the way Basketball should be played. The second long trip was begun Friday, January 30. On this trip our team made a very creditable record, winning five out of the seven games played. Two of the teams we beat had just succeeded in defeating the Haskell Indians. Three other trips were taken during this season; the first at Liberty, Missouri; a second at Newton, Kansas; and still a third to Lee ' s Summit, Missouri. The games and scores are as follows: University. Opponents. 12 Haskell 23 10 William Jewell College 12 38 Newton Athletic Club 7 22 Chicago Y. M. C.

Much more interest is shown in the track team this year than for- merely, corresponding to the boom in all University affairs. Three meets were held; the first was the inter-collegiate meet held at Lawrence. May 2d. In this meet Sherret broke the half-mile record, running it in 2.10 2-5. The second meet will be held May 9, at Columbia, Missouri. The third, at Lawrence, with Nebraska. The team this year is composed of the following men: BUTLER. HULL. BAILET, COOKE. HINE. SHAEFFER, WHIPPI.E. RAT. SCAMMON. PORTER. HULBURT. STILTER. SILL-. SHEPHERD. LOUGHBOROUGK. STEWART. The work of the team has been very satisfactory and promises fine material for next year. A. A. Whipple, ' 04, is captain this year, and H. S. Bedell, ' 04, manager. McCoY, FINCH. GIBSON. ACKERMAN. JONES. RYAN. SHERRET. Y. M. C A. In this last and lasting effort of the Class of ' 03 due credit must be given to the Y. M. C. A. To this collegiate organization the men of the class owe a debt. In the rooms of the Y. M. C. A. they were cradled the first few nights of their virgin year at the University; the needy found work through the Employment Bureau, which is conducted by the Asso- ciation; many are the happy nights they spent in the parlors of the House, where royal entertainment never failed to greet them; all, not mentioning the pure religious atmosphere and Christian character devel- opment, are whys and wherefores for a never-dying gratitude.

The Young Women ' s Christian Association, with its one hundred and seventy-five members, is an important factor in college life. Its purpose is to keep before the young women the demands of the spiritual life. It stands for practical Christianity. This is shown in the opening of the year by the help it renders the new girls in securing rooms and board and by the social life it gives them. Every Wednesday evening the Association holds its meeting in the Chapel. It also offers courses in systematic Bible study and mission study. Over one hundred enrolled in t ese the past year. It gives annually $100 to the support of Miss Radford, a missionary and graduate of the Uni- versity, besides helping the Y. W. C. A. settlement in Kansas City. The work is now so extensive that a general secretary is employed, and stu- dents and Faculty regard the Association as a potent factor for good. Officers.

THE students of Kansas University early recognized the need of clubs and societies where training might be had in public speak- ing and debate, and where opportunities might be offered for prac- tice in all forms of literary work. A s early as 1866 the literary society had made its appearance in the University and has existed with varying degrees of success ever since. The Debating Council is an organization made up of representatives from each literary society. It is the function of this Council to arrange for preliminary debates in the University and to attend to all matters connected with interstate contests. Two representatives from each one of the literary societies take part in the preliminary debates. The Adelphic Society is the oldest organization of its kind now in the University. It grew out of the older Orophilian and Oread Societies. The purpose of this Society is social as well as literary. The member- ship is now confined almost entirely to the Law School. The Kent Club is an outgrowth of the old Blackstone Club, organized by Law students in 1878. It offers opportunities for improvement in pub- lic speaking, parliamentary drill, and debate. Kent has had its share of honors and representatives in interstate debates, and is at present in a prosperous condition. Cooley Club was started by the Junior Laws in the fall of 1900. The I aw School has ever been first in realizing the benefits to be derived from good literary and debating societies. At the meetings of this Club there are free discussions of current events, national movements at home ana abroad, political problems and many legal questions of general inter- est to Law =tud?nt?. Burke Literary Society originated in the fall of 1899. The charter members were all Freshmen of the Class of 1903. The purpose of the Society wa? to arouse interest in debate and literary work, and to instill a new and progressive spirit into the effete literary societies then exist- ing. The organization cf the Society is modeled after that of the English Government, and is divided into two parties, the Government and the Opposition. This gives an opportunity for political training and debate. Although the Society is largely made up of under-classmen, it has won honors in debate, and its future is promising. Snow Literary Society was founded in October, 1897, and is one of the most prosperous organizations of its kind in the University. It was named for Chancellor Snow, under whose patronage it was founded, and whose hearty approval and sympathy it has ever received. The member- ship includes both men and women, and the social life of the Society is made one of its prominent features. Meetings are held weekly. The work consists of music, impromptu talks, poems, short stories, discussion of current events, debate, and parliamentary drill. The past year has been a most encouraging one for the Society. The attendance has been good, and the members have shown a renewed interest in the work. Snow Lit- erary Society is represented in the Debating Council. The X. Y. Z. Club, which was organized November 16, 1900, is the youngest literary society in the University. It makes debating the most important work of the Club, although time is given to parliamentary law and extempore speaking. A system of fines for failure to appear on the programme has resulted in tecuring a good attendance at the meetings and well-prepared programmes. The Club gives an annual banquet, which is one of the enjoyable social features of the Club. The record of its members in the University debates shows the suc- cessful work the Club is doing. In 1901 E. H. McMath represented Kan- sas University in the annual debate with Missouri University; in 1902 E. H. McMath and C. W. Kline represented the University in the debates with Baker, Colorado, and Nebraska Universities; and in 1903 S. E. Bart- lett, J. W. Kayser, Fred H. Ayers, and B. A Earhart represented the Uni- versity in debates with Missouri, Nebraska, and Colorado Universities. 118 D Q K. U Band. Director FRANK DAVIS Solo Clarinet FRVNK JKLLICH Solo Clarinet B. J.

THE University Dramatic Club came into being on November ninth, nineteen hundred and one, when a number of students made trial for membership by reading dramatic selections before Mr. Fra- zier and two other members of the Faculty. Those who seemed to these judges to possess the most dramatic ta ' ent were selected; and very soon, under Mr. Frazier ' s direction, began practical work in the study and re- hearsal of James A. Hearne ' s famous play. Shore Acres. The public presentation of this play was made March 7. 1902, Mr. Frazier himself playing the delightful role of Uncle Nat : while Mr. Seyster, Mr. San- ford. Mr. Brooks, Miss Morrison, and Miss Dunham gained much popu- larity and applause by their artistic impersonation of the rd ' .es assigned them. The lasting nature of the impression they made was shown by the hearty applause which greeted those who appeared for a second time in the play of this year. A Night Off. The membership of the Club is limited to twenty-five. New members are chosen from those who make trial in dramatic reading before the Club. The members of the Club are among the most prominent students of the University, and it is considered a real honor to be included in this circle. When a vacancy occurs, there are always many students eager to make trial for the distinction of membership. The play given this year. A Night Off, was in direct contrast to the play of last year. Shore Acres is a rural drama full of pathos and intense emotional situations, while A Night Off is a comedy in the light- er vein. It is well that the Club should seek variety in order to obtain a broader training. The announcement of the play to be given another year will be awaited with eagerness. 121 E. G. Frazier. Oratorical Association THE University of Kansas Oratorical Association was formed in the fall of 1901, with J. B. Wilson as President. Previous organiza- tions had proved inefficient, and a new association was thougrt desirable. In the first year of its existence the Oratorical Associatio i proved that its formation had been no mistake. Oratory was put on a solid basis, and foundations laid for future progress. In the annual con test held in January, 1902, Josiah Kramer won first place, and represented the University in the State oratorical contest at Winfield. At the first meeting held this year, the following officers were elected: President, E. S. Cowdrick; Vice-President, Oscar Kuchs; Secretary, Charles L. Robbins; Treasurer, C. K. Rodkey. The local contest took place January 19, 1903. Seven men participated, and the contest was one of the best ever held at the University. The first honors were taken by Malcolm Gar- rard (whose portrait appears among the Senior Arts), whose excellent work in the contest, as well as his previous reputation as an orator, seemed, to assure to Kansas University a high place in the State contest at Atchison. Before the time of the State contest, however, the other schools inter- ested decided that the Kansas University man should be barred from the contest. It was known that he was a graduate of Washburn College, a sectarian school at Topeka. The matter was brought up in the meeting of delegates at Atchison on the day of the contest. The constitution pro- vides that only students who are under-graduates in the school that they represent are eligible to the contests. After profound deliberation, it was decided that Garrard was undoubtedly a graduate of Washburn ; that, although an under-graduate at Kansas University, he would not have been such if he had been graduated from Kansas University instead of from Washburn College; that no evidence had been produced to show why he had attended Washburn College instead of the University; that such an action would not have been done without a good and sufficient reason, and, as no such reason had been shown, it evidently had not been done; hence, that he was ineligible. It was further decided that if the Kansas University man were allowed to enter the contest, he would undoubtedly receive a high place; hence, that he was ineligible. The University dele- gates introduced a statement from the Chancellor, certifying that Gar- rard was an under-graduate in the School of Arts, and would receive his A. B. in June, 1903. This was considered to be conclusive evidence that Garrard was a student of the University of Kansas, and, as such, should be excluded on general principles; hence, that he was ineligible. In short, the Kansas University representative was excluded from the contest by an arbitrary ruling of the delegates from the other schools. As a result of this, the University at once withdrew from the State Oratorical Association. For some time it had been thought that we should enter contests with State Universities only. Last year an attempt was made by the University to form a league for this purpose, but no satis- factory arrangements could be made. This spring negotiations have been commenced again. The affair has been put into the hands of a competent committee, who are pushing matters vigorously, and will continue to do so. Thus far, the results have been highly satisfactory. The Universities of Missouri and Iowa are eager to help form an oratorical league, and it is probable that the idea will soon be taken up by several other States. K .S.

VARIOUS attempts have been made to conduct a magazine in the in- terests of the Alumni of the University, but the Graduate Maga- zine of the University of Kansas is the first attempt in this direc- tion that has been made by the Alumni themselves. This attempt is the result of action taken at the last annual meeting of the Alumni Associa- tion of the Schools of Arts and Engineering. By vote of the Association at that meeting, the Executive Committee was instructed to issue an Alumni magazine, all details to be left to the discretion of the committee. Acting in accordance with this authority, the committee appointed four members of the Faculty who are also Alumni of the University, to cooper- ate with the chairman of the committee in the preparation and publica- tion of an Alumni magazine. The first number was published in Octo- ber, 1902, and there have been monthly numbers since that time. Pecu- liarities in the postal laws have made it necessary that the University assume formal control of the publication; but the Magazine remains essen- tially what it was in the beginning designated to be a periodical published primarily in the interests of the Aiarnni, immediately responsible to them, and dependent upon their interest and support for its continued and pros- perous existence. 126 12; The Tragical and True History of the State Oratorical Contest at Atchison.

EPWORTH: Xo: but you must see to it That He doth annually pa y tuition fees From this time forth. Mi RLIN ncitlt a smile thai is -hildUJ;e and Wand): But don ' t you catch, my brother? By letting God into our class-rooms free. We hope to purchase pardon from our sins. And in the bliss that true believers have I and the two professors at our University Do trust to get in on the general felicity. EPWORTH: ' Tis a fond hope, vainly invented, and having no war- rant in the Scriptures. See 1 John 4:9, Luke 3:16, Acts 7:8, Ecclesiastes 9:11. Genesis 14:12. Besides, we put up the dough for the maintenance of Baker. Do you think that you can lay hold on salvation at our expense? 129 MURI.TX (laying aside his smile for the first time in his life) You put up the coin, my brother? Do I not go among the people Of all the rural districts in the State, And bunco them out of their hard-earned plunks? (Gradually resumes his smile.) Do I not pass my lid among the children, And gather in their pennies, which else They would expend for chewing-gum And divers inventions of the evil one? Ei ' woimi: Yes, but why are the rustics congregated? Is it not for worship in our churches? How, also, could you get a chance At children ' s savings-banks, did they Not assemble weekly in the Sunday-school That noble institution from which springs All that is of any value in Our modern civilization? The Church Puts up the money, brother; you Are but her humble instrument. MURLIX (smiling to beat the band): Brother Epworth, you are a dirty liar. If you do not repent, and that right soon, Your soul is damned eternally. Do not put it off. Now is the accepted time. Let us pray. SCENE 2. MURLIX, ErwouTii. BAKER FACULTY, and DIPP. DIPP: Why the rough house? MURLIN: Are you a Christian? DIPP: I am; and president of a University Wherein is taught Mi ULIX: Have you ever heard of our great University, called Baker? We give you there, at the remarkably low rate of thirty dollars a year, thoroughly Christian but wholly non-sectarian instruction, leading to the degree of bachelor of the arts. All the branches are taught there Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Mathematics, Oratory, and Christianity. We lay special emphasis upon the Oratory and Christianity. Oratory is useful in per- suading men to flee from the wrath to come; and as for Christianity, we do not, as some institutions do, let the student ' s immortal soul take care of itself. We guarantee that he shall be soundly converted before he leaves us. A good education, a!l the social advantages of Baldwin and salvation all for thirty dollars a year! The rich and poor are on an equal basis at Baker. There are no social castes, as there are at some Universities I could find without wandering far from twelve miles north of Baldwin. To illustrate our method, let me tell you a little story: (Soft music in the distance.) Last year there came to us A rude, uncultured farmer boy, Wearing a pair of overalls, a gingham shirt, And his large, manly feet encased within A pair of plough-shoes, without socks. There also came from out a wealthy home A young man who in luxury was reared The son, indeed, of the godly keeper 130 Of a boarding-house in Lawrence, in this State; No overalls and gingham shirts for him, But costly linen, purple robes of silk, Such as men of his class usually wear. These two came to us. Ralph was the farmer- boy, John was the wealthy guy from Lawrence town. When the class elections were held this year, John was elected president of the Freshman class, And who do you suppose elected was President of the Middle Preparatory class? Ralph, the buinly clad jay from off the farm! Not because one wore jubilant rags; Not because the other had on overalls; But because they were manly fellows both. EPWORTH (aside to Dipp) He ' s been telling that story for the past fifteen years. Ain ' t he get it do vn pat? MIRLIX: Nor is this all. To show how we look after the spiritual welfare of the students, let me continue my story: (Soft music resumes.) Ralph, when he came to us, was right with God; But not so John; the tainted atmosphere, Which hovers round Mount Oread for a radius Of several miles had poisoned him; He oft would play with wicked cards; Sometimes he did dance, or attend the theatre; And more than once had he been known To cut divine service completely out, And fishing go upon the Sabbath day. I called him up to me one bright morning And said to him id music, lasting for two hours and a half. During this time Mrs- LIN goes over his exhortation to John, but his icords cannot be heard for the music. Music ceases. ) MritLix: and that night John murmured faintly, I give up, And before the meeting was dismissed He was gloriously converted. How much better that, than to do as some Universities- - DIPP: Do you refer to the Liquid University, my brother? MIRLIN: I never heard of it before. EPWOBTH: Nor did I. DIPP: Many have not. The privilege is granted but to a very few. But know, that we, too, offer a Christian education. Our course is not so extended as yours, nor is our Faculty so large. We have a small enroll- ment. But I have read your annual catalogue, wherein you praise small Universities. They give a better opportunity for personal contact between instructor and pupil, says your catalogue, than do the larger schools. They give the student better social advantages. The soul can be saved, whereas in a large institution it must inevitably go to hell. If Baker is a good University, think how much better ours must be our great Christian University, where the young people of this country are offered a complete education in Christian but non-sectarian Bookkeeping, Christian but non- sectarian Penmanship, Christian but non-sectarian Oratory, Christian but non-sectarian Piety. We are as liberal as a Christian University can be. We require the student to attend the church of his oicn choice each Sab- bath day; our only condition is that it shall be a Protesant evangelical Church, and one which practices the Scriptural mode of baptism. Ours is a grand, inexpensive, uncrowded, co-educational University, of which I am President, and in which I am likewise professor of Bookkeeping, Ora- tory, Penmanship, and Piety, and also ex-offlcio Dean of the Graduate School. MURLIN: What is your enrollment? DIPP: Two; in the Preparatory Department one my daughter; in the Collegiate Department one my son. He is in Atchison to-day to take part in the forthcoming Oratorical Contest. If he win the prize, ' twill keep the hungry coyote from our threshold another year. SCENE 3.

MTTRUN, DIPP, EPWORTH (aside): Ruffians! Rowdies! CHORUS: Who are we? K. U. Who ' s K. U.? Everybody. Who ' ll take first prize? Garrard. EPWORTH: A Kansas University man take first prize? Methinks they talk through their hats. Oratory is dead at Kansas University, as the Baker Orange hath proclaimed in every issue since the first. The youth there give themselves up to the study of Mathematics, Literature, Science, History, and such like atheistical matters. They do not study Oratory, for they have no concern in winning souls. MTJRLIN: Thou sayest true. They give too much time to the pursuit of scholarship to become proficient in Oratory. Scholarship is all very well in its way, but it is not the entire Limbur ger. The literary societies in that nest of infidelity, Kansas University, meet but once a week, instead of being in continual session, as are ours. But about this Garrard. I have heard that he hath a natural gift of eloquence; that he can charm the birds in the treetops. revive the drooping lily, and call back the dragon- fly to dream upon the river. Our man a professional spiel-maker em- ployed for this occasion can put up a pretty good con, but he won ' t be in the same class with Gerrard. EPWORTH: But art not the judges on our side? MURLIN: Not this year. They are, for aught I know, ungodly men, with that detestable vice so much esteemed among the unsaved honesty. Call to me Reid, my slave. ACT II. SCENE 1.

Can he not be barred from the contest? REID: Upon what grounds? Mi IM.IN: Why, here in Atchison? REID laughs heartily, in order to get a half-term ' s credit in E riflenres of Christianity ): I mean, what right have we to bar Garrard? MIRI.IN: Convened only six months ago, and backsliding already? Beware. Brother Reid, of the voice of Satan. Do not let ham seduce thee with the wiles wherewithal he vas wont to lead thee astray in past years. Speak you of right? What rights can such a school as K. U. have? A school which shuts God out of the class-room, a school where revival meetings are never held? Have they any rights in dealing with the chosen of the Lord? REID: I confess my sin, and do repent of it. K. U. ' s orator shall be barred, if the Association can compass it. MTULIN: If they can? I have collected money, And know how sweet it is to hold A c-heck from some conscience-smitten usurer, For five hundred dollars in bright yellow gold. Ha! I could tear the precious paper into bits. And strew the fragments to the boisterous wind. Rather than that a K. U. man should win, Garrard shall be, must be, declared ineligible. ' Tis not alone that we have paid our orator three dollars and a half to take part in this contest, but. if K. U. can win from us. Baker ' s occu- pation ' s gone. Let us seek out the Presidents of the Christian Univer- sities of Kansas and have K. U. ' s representative canned. And here they come, the very men. SCENE 2. MERLIN. EI-WORTK. DIPP. REID.

None of these blokes want to go to a univer- sity, and not one of them has a cent. Stow your hot air about Baker, and get down to biz. Mt KLIN: Dear brothers, we have learned, to our pained surprise, that the representative of Kansas University is a man of eloquence, and we do fear that he will win the prize. Know you aught of this?

CHORUS: O fair and radiant beams, that from the lantern stray And overspread yen painted sign across the way Thrice glorious are thou as Helios ' rays so bright, For by thine aid, one year ago to-night, The Class of 1904 did make discovery Of a sign just like the one I see. And on that sign, in letters bold, did loom The same three words, Ladies ' Dressing Room. Inspired by the sight which met their gaze, The doughty Sophomores the shack did raze; First did they tear completely down the outer wall; Then, repulsed, upon the Freshmen call. Soon all the men in Baker University Had joined the fight one hundred twenty-three. But twoscore girls were in the dressing-room: One seized a stick, another got a broom. No longer than I am in the story telling Were they the valiant Baker men repelling. Baker, Baker, zip, zip, zim! Go we forth to war with sin! Baker, Baker, whoop, hooray! Baker, Baker, let us pray!

Ruffians! How is it that the police of Atchison allow them to run at large, endangering the peace of mind of pious Baker men! Let us withdraw ere they discover and persecute us. (Exit CHORUS.) (K. U.

The members of the Associa- tion will vote to bar him. The Presidents of the various Christian but non-sectarian. Universities have spoken to their slaves, the delegates to the convention. REID: But we must have an excuse of some kind for the public eye to scan. 134 Mi RUN: Pooh! Sirrah, you talk like a green boy. The newspapers will give us the best of it. The Topeka Capital, within a week after the contest takes place, will have a two-column report of the affair, headed: Disgraceful Conduct of Kansas University Students. Their Contestant Promptly Barred by the State Oratorical Association. Students Leave Atchison in a Body and Return to Lawrence. Moreover, the daily papers will dig up an editorial of last year, declaring that Baker is a much bet- ter University than K. U. REID: Thou say ' st true; but methinks we must have some way of bringing it before the Association. MUKLIN: Well, let me see. The constitution says that a contestant must be an undergraduate student, a candidate for the degree A.B., in the institution which he professes to represent. Instruct thy fellow-slave to make the claim that Garrard is not an undergraduate in K. U. REID: But the delegates from K. U. have a statement from the Chan- cellor that Garrard is a candidate for a degree. Mi KLIN: Rule that statement out; do not permit it to come before the Association.

Mi KLIN: The convention has decided. From its decision there is no appeal. K. U. DELEGATE: But I have a proposition to make. Let Mr. Gar- rard give his oration to-night; ;.hen, before the prizes are awarded, let a committee, consisting of you, our Chancellor, and a third whom you may agree upon, look into the matter of his eligibility. Mi KLIN: The President of Baker University, that great co-educa- tional (Loud music for three-quarters of an hour, while MURLIX explains the advantages of Baker, and urges the men to attend.

FRIEND: Now, fellows, don ' t do aught to mar the tranquillity of this gathering. Your reputation is very bad, and if you do anything or don ' t do anything, you ' 11 make it worse. Behave like gentlemen, and I am sure the State Legislature will double the fees when they meet again. (Exeunt K. U. STUDENTS, looking tired and bored.) (The Contest is resumed.) MURLIN: The ruffians, rowdies, infidels, hoodlums from K. U. have gone. They were afraid to meet us in an oratorical contest. REID: Ay, oratory is doad at K. IT. 136 137 Limericks.

We know of no sure cure for the corns. DWIGIIT, F. No; the pump-handle style of dancing is behind the times. Neither is the race dance as popular as it used to be. You should remember we have no ambulance service in Lawrence. WALTER H. No, it is not considered improper to stay calling till 10:30, provided you be engaged to the young lady. M. A. S. No, we do not think it exactly proper for a class president to go gallivanting off on a beat-ride on the Kaw while his class is giving a. promenade. You should endeavor more to overcome your bashfulness. HAZEL F. Try not to be downcast, Hazel, since Helen has gone; you can still look up to Isabelle and Mary. EVA H. We know, Eva, that Al has gone; but ' tis to prepare a home for you. Don ' t be disconsolate. It will last but a short time. HELEN W. It was bad company, we know, that led Elmer astray; but he is not yet beyond redemption. Perhaps a few kind words will bring him back. PROF. L. No, Professor, it is not absolutely necessary for you to take to a party the young lady whose card you draw in your invitation. You are not general utility man in this University. Fa from it. NEVA L. Do not grieve over Stew ' s departure. Two are better than one any day. Besides, competition is better than a monopoly for the consumer. JESSIE H. You must have misunderstood the contract, Jessie; news- papers always charge the same for pictures as they do for other advertis- ing matter. JAMES A. S. No, Searcy, do not be angry at the damsel ' s remarks about your peachy cheeks and creamy hair. They are inspired by envy; but be careful, for a too close proximity may rub away the bloom. DAY P. Yes, Day, you deserve great credit for the successful man- ner in which you have conducted your school for fraternities, the Oread Dancing Club, the past few years. You have performed an invaluable ser- vice for the frat world. CARLOS F. It is not the custom, Carlos, in this section of the country, to take a young lady riding in a cab. One of Donnely ' s pelters and a light wagon would be better. Neither do we blame you for not kissing the girl before the whole crowd. 142 GRACE K. You have been accused of being an hot-air artist and con- ner, Gracie. Undoubtedly some malicious boy has started this rumor. From the tone of your letter, in which you tell us what a great publica- tion this is going to be, we know you are not. We have no doubt but that with a slight case of tetanus you could live down this reputation. MARVIX C. If you have not a coin to flip, Marvin, be resourceful. Spit on a board, take wf.t or dry, and flip it up. J. X. P. Ta ' cum powder, if applied freely, will remove all results of your past life.

Why net adopt the tactics of your namesake and snatch the vile cigarettes out of the boys ' mouths if they persist in smoking them around the Library? HARRY S. K. It may be very gentlemanly, but at least it is not good politics, to take a girl who is engaged to the Senior Play, and buy an An- nual for her. There are others where there are chances for better results. MARY J. Yes. little one, they did treat you shamefully during the Junior Prom season; but if you had not got out when you did, Phil was going for Sam Jeans and a writ of habeas corpus, which would ha ve extri- cated you from your position. .! ' - IE P. Yes, Jessie, your position as a professor ' s wife will be an enviable one in society in Lawrence. Said wives are called to preside over many pink teas and are usually referred to as patronesses. GIILA C. M. Yes. Guila, it was a shame that they destroyed your pole so prettily decorated for the Chancellor ' s installation. The decora- tion that the wanton ones so ruefully marred showed you to be a true artist. We think you made a mistake in not entering the Fine Arts School. OSCAR S. ' Tis true. Oscar, that the boys should not have attempted to butt in while you were calling on Gflrtie; but we don ' t quite see how you can excuse yourself for the sudden ' dousing of the glim. ' To avoid suspicion, we would advise you to receive the buttinskies next time. BERT V. It is never advisable to try to stop a cable car by standing in front of it.

Oh, push this d d good thing along, You poet there, indite one. Proclaim it in the morning chap- El exercises; spring it In the Weekly columns, and, mayhap, Some poetic chap ' 11 sing it. We hope, ere long, a fifty-dollar Prize will be of-fered For a song to knock completely hollow The songs at present heard. We understand a movement is On foot (where has it walked to?) To get the Regents down to biz; And after they ' ve been talked to, There cannot be the slightest doubt But they will put up dough, To enrich some mild-eyed bard about The year ' 09 or so. And now, meantime, let ' s whoop-er-up That song, it must be writ; A song ' a song! Come, fill the cup, And stimulate your wit. Bodies like Regents slowly move; Wait ages for your pay, But love for old K. U. to prove, Just write a song to-day. Tin Song. Far above what lies below Stands our Alma Mater, no- Ble and true.

Where ' s Sunday ' s paper? there ' s always poems in that. (Looks around the room and finds the paper.) Here ' s one, and it ' s on love. (Folds paper and reads aloud:) Thou hast taught me, my beloved, thou hast taught me Taught me passion to control Oh, that ' s fine! Hits the nail right on the head. Where ' s the scissors? fFinds 1he scissors and cuts out the poem.) Wonder what time it is? Three o ' clock. In time for the postman. I ' 11 pin it on a piece of my note-paper, and mail it to him.

Now why did I spill that? (Picks it up and reads the label.) Mt. Ver- non. That ' s a pretty good name Mt. Vernon. (Finds glass and takes a drink.) Can ' t blame a man for drinking that. Well, one good turn de- serves another. (Takes another !rink. Knock at the door.) Come in. (Bell-boy enters with a note.) Have a drink. Boots? No? You ' re a good boy, aren ' t you? All right, I ' 11 take your word for it. (Boy retires, and JACK looks at his letter.) Seems to me I ' ve seen that handwriting before. Wonder what Alice wants bless her heart! (Opens the letter, takes out slip.) What ' s this? (Puts slip close to his eyes and reads aloud:) Master thinks I ' m a dandy at mixing cocktails. Drink only Club Cocktails. You can do it just as well. Well, what in the devil! (Looks at the monogram on the note-paper, then at the writing on the envelope. Looks at slip again.) Club Cocktails pour over lumps of 148 ic-e. strain and serve. Seven kinds. Beware of imitations. (Goes to mirror and looks at himself. Tries to feel his pulse. Kicks himself.

ALICE retreating): Why, Jack, what ' s the matter? What makes you act so? ( Aside:) Bless his dear old heart! I knew it would affect him. JACK HARRIS: Alice, I ' m the happiest man in all the world. (Starts toward her again.) The happiest man in all the world. You ' re the ALICE: Oh, Jack, don ' t! JACK HARRIS: Who told you my brand? ALICE: Don ' t make fun of me, Jack. JACK HARRIS: I ' m not making fun of you, dear. I ' ll forgive you. You meant well, I know, but then I knew all the time you ' d come my way. You see, girls can ' t understand that is, most girls can ' t. But you ' re different from most girls, dear. ALICE: Well, you don ' t need to put it that way. Jack. You ' ve noth- ing to forgive me for. I ought to do the forgiving, Jack, and I will. {Rushes up 1o him.) Oh, Jack! will you really stop for good, in real earnest, forever? Oh, I ' m so JACK retreating): Well, what in the devil! Alice Jones, what are you up to? ' Takes envelope out of his pocket and finds the slip.) Didn ' t you send me this?

JACK HARRIS (rubbing his hands together, through his hair, and rush- ing around the room.) Good Lord! little one, dry up! I appreciated it all right. Why, I should say I did! I I didn ' t you get my note, and the flowers, and ALICE: Oh, Jack! (Sobs emotionally.) JACK HARRIS: Yes, dear! ALICE: I I don ' t know what to make of you, Jack. (Looks up .t him.)- JACK HARRIS (aside): Oh, Lord! ALICE: Did you read it every word? JACK HARRIS: Yes, every word fifty times each. I know it by heart. ALICE: Oh, Jack! JACK HARRIS: Yes, by heart. Take the thing yourself and see. (ALICE takes the slip, and JACK starts to repeat:) Drink Club Cock- tails. You can do it just as well. ALICE (jumping to her feet and exclaiming): Jack Harris! JACK HARRIS: Well, isn ' t it on there? (Snatches the slip from ner, and, holding it up to her eyes, points with his finger, and reads:) Drink Club Cocktails. ALICE (sinking into her chair, and beginning to cry violently): Oh, Jack, you ' re you ' re awful! To think I ' d send you that after after all these these years. Oh! oh! JACK HARRIS (standing near, holding the slip, and looking non- plussed): Why in the devil didn ' t you tell a fellow you didn ' t send it? Take me for a mind-reader? What do you think I am? (Rushes up and down the room.) ALICE: Oh oh, Jack! I sent it. JACK HARRIS: You sent it! You sent it! What in the ALICE: You you read the wrong side. Oh oh, Jack! I ' m so unhappy!

Now the Springtime, reviving old Desires, The Freshman ' s Soul with glorious Deeds inspires, To place a Pole and on it put his Flag And fighting round its Base, how he Perspires!

Let ' s go along the Strip of Blue-grass sown Just where the Up of Oread leaves the ' ' Down, And probe for festive Freshman ' s May-pole Hole. And finding, make the festive Freshman moan. Ah! fellow Senior, fill the Cup that clears To-day of its past Flunks and future Fears Of Profs. Why, To-morrow we may be Real and substantial Full-fledged Engineers. For some we loved, the jolliest and the best That ever to their Lips the Cup have prest; They drank their Cup a round or two too much, And ere two Weeks left Oread by Request.

Indeed the Idol I have loved so long Is acting in a way that does me wrong; The Evenings that she used to give to me She now devotes to that New Game Ping-Pong. 152 Would that each Prof grow kindly ere too late, Present his beaming, smiling, educated Pate, And make th3 stern George Foster otherwise Record our Grades, or quite obliterate.

The manuscript of the above verses was discovered by work- men while excavating for the new Museum building. They are thought to be several decades old. and are interesting insomuch as they show that life at K. U. has always l een substantially the same. K. U. Hall of Fame. In the first place, I must tell you I had not been back to my Alma Mater for many years. I had graduated in the Class of ' 03, and during the fifty-three years since my graduation had returned but twice. How- ever, I had made it a point to return at times when I could see the old school at its best. So in the fall of ' 23 I visited it a short time when the students were celebrating their first victory over Nebraska in football, iu twenty-three years. Again I returned in ' 40, when the University had just received a gift of $5,000 ' for a new Gymnasium from the Legislature, and consequently was feeling jubilant. Heretofore on my visits I had been so preoccupied with the festivi- ties of the occasion that I had never been able to visit several of the new buildings. Now, however, I came with the avowed purpose of spending a quiet week amidst the scenes of my school-days, and seeing all that was to be seen. I had repeatedly heard of the new K. U. Hall of Fame, but had never gone through it. So one afternoon I got an early start and stood before its portals ready to enter promptly at 1:30. In exterior appearance the building resembles a Grecian temple. Ionic pillars rose in massive grandeur all around it. Around the top ran a frieze which represented the May-pole Scrap, which I remembered we used to look forward to for months. I afterward found out that this old custom had been exterminated and in its place was substituted the annual Tug of War between the ten weak men of the Freshman and Soph- omore classes. The last Tug of War had not taken place, because the year before one of the contestants had sustained an injured wrist, and the papers had used it as material Lo end out bad reports about the Uni- versity. On this account it was believed that in the near future this cus- tom too would have to be given up and something milder substituted. As I was delaying about the entrance, the door opened, and the next moment I was aware that I was being heartily shaken by the hand. An old man stood before me, smiling and still wringing my hand. Hello, old man! Been a long time since I saw you! he said. It must have been the deuce of a while, I replied. I can ' t place you. Can ' t say that you even look familiar, though you are. Why, you ' re E , are you not? Yes. Well, I ' m your old schoolmate and friend, Walter Filkin. Oh! I replied. I rtmember now. You used to lead the Chapel cheering, did you not? Say, I never did find out the truth about Higgins beating you out of that job. How was it? Well, to tell the truth, he answered, that is a sad, sad story. I won ' t repeat it. But come inside; I want to show you the new K. U. Hall of Fame of which I am Head Guide. I passed within. The first object that greeted my eyes was a statue sitting directly in front of the door. It was that of a woman of elderly appearance, and on its base was carved: CAURIE. Not Nation, but Watson. ' ' Immediately the memories of past years came back to me. Has the lady departed from this world? I asked my guide. 154 Oh, yes; she died some seventy years ago in a fit of rage at a Phar- mic for smoking a cigarette out in the road in front of the Library. Poor woman; she got worse than ever, didn ' t she? As I finished saying this, my eye was attracted by a dim inscription on the base. As I was kneeling down to decipher it, my guide explained that they were her last words. I read: We Don ' t Smoke Here We passed on. To our right stood a bust of a man of rather robust appearance. It was of white marble, except the collar, which was black around the edges. I supposed it had been marred by some accident, and asked my former schoolmate concerning it. Oh, no, he replied. You must understand these statues are all life-like and Just then my eye caught the name below the bust. It was FRED OWL - Fred Owens, I repeated. Why, when I was in school he was half professor and the rest tutor. How did he merit a place here among the rest? Why, you see, explained Walter, he had the smallest laundry bill on record in the history of the University; seventy cents for three months. Truly, some men have greatness thrust upon them, thought I to my- self, and we passed on. The next bust had on it a golf cap and spectacles. I stood wondering for some time as to who he was when I had known him, but finally had to resort to the name. It read: GEo. L. LINCOLN. ' -and as an explanation, bore the words belcw, ' General Utility Han. As I recalled the incident I had to smile. But he is still living, is he not? I anxiously asked. Yes. he still lives, aud is still the bachelor professor on the Hill. He may be seen dashing along nearly every day on his pony; be has out- lived four of the latter. At this point I turned round and noticed in the middle of the build- ing the marble statue of a bulldog with a stubby tail. I was wondering what it was doing there, when I read on its pedestal, PHIKE. and below. He yercr Was Whipped. His Was a Deadly Tail My guide could not explain his presence there, but merely hinted that he thought a fellow named Cal Xewman had something to do with his having a place in the Hall. At the farther end of the Hall was a full-size statue of a handsome man. with head erect. In vain I looked for a name. All the clue I could find was a large capital I on the base. Here my guide proved rather provoking, and would not give me any information except that the gen- tleman in question had one time aimed at the Chancellorship, and, fail- ing in that, got married. It is a mystery to me still; no one would tell me anything else about it. The next statue I recognized at a glance as the former Dean of our Law School. Poor old Tnc!e Jimmy ' ! I mused. How long ago did he depart his existence. Well, he was a pretty good stayer; he lasted till about fifteen years .ago. Did he die rich? 155 No; poor as a church-mouse. He always had to keep up Athletics and the Law School, and never got a cent ahead. In fact, he would have been in pretty hard lines for a statue in the Hall here, but they managed to raise the money by selling his Drummond tobacco tags. You see, the statues cost only about $500, and the tags were worth a half-cent apiece. ' ' I see; that was probably his method of taking out an endowment policy. The next statue was also easily recognized as that of Professor Abbott, our old History teacher. How came he here? I inquired. Well, you see he gained quite a reputation in this way: he imagined he was here to teach and the students were here to study. He also had another claim to fame. His name was once mentioned in ' Who ' s Who in America, ' though folks said they never could see how a professor could afford to spend so much money on such luxuries. I did not care to engage in a discussion, so dropped the matter. The next statue, my guide explained, was the last one. The number was as yet limited, for only the mlost deserving were placed there i. e., men particxilarly strong in some particular line. This statue had under its arm a green book-sack. On its base I read: C. C. CONE. Was he a professor? I asked. Of course; you surely knew him, I received in reply. I knew a Cone, but his name was Ralph Waldo. The same one. You see, he was dubbed this name later on. C. C. is for Candy Cathartic; perhaps, if you read further, you ' ll understand. I looked and read. It said: He Worked While Others Slept. I understood. I fully intend to visit the Hall again before I die, and you ought to do the same. You will be well repaid for your trouble. An Interrupted Conversation Angie was a maiden, Pretty and demure; Dudley was an Engineer, Confident and sure. That Angie loved him, And one autumn eve Stood gazing just for pleasure Ere taking a last leave; Dudley on the ground below, Angie up above, Looking out the window, Was talking to her love; I ' ve a secret, Dudley. Tell me, Angie dear! Oh, I ' d have to talk too loud- The very walls might hear. Dudley straight a tree espied Growing near the wall; Up he climbed in eager hopes Soon to know it all. Xow this tree commanded An especially fine view Of the room just next to Angie ' s, Where dwelt some maidens few. Up at last! cried Dudley Ah me! unlucky herald! Female voices ' scaped the room- And females light appareled! Down to earth fell Dudley. Recovery was slow. Did he hear the secret? Ask him: how can ve know? 157 An Unrecorded Instance. When. Oscar Seyster was at Stratford-on-Avon, he called on Wni. Shakespeare for a few moments one day. ( ood morning, Willie, greeted the genial Ossy. William sat gazing into the far beyond with not a look of recogni- tion on his countenance. Thereupon Seyster pulled his card and presented. Well! well! said Bill as he stretched forth his hand, so you have acted some too, have you? Yes, some. And it ' s right along this line that I came to see you. You see, I think that, after an experience of some months, I have discovered several places in one of your plays that could be materially strengthened and To what play do you refer? ' As You Like It. ' You see, we recently put the play on in Kansas University and found several difficulties in its presentation. Now if you could only arrange it so that Rosalind could wear full evening dress, I am sure that the play would be much more in demand among amateur actors. William had started to think. And then there ' s another thing I would like to speak about, con- tinued Seyster. Don ' t you suppose you could change Ophelia some way? How? Oh, only make her different. You see, our professor at K. U. detests her as she is and fills all his students with a like feeling toward her What the Kansas populace crave is blood and thunder. Understand? The bard of Avon had started to think and during his reverie Seyster withdrew. After he was gone, the poet sat down and started to write. And the new play was King Lear. Damocles couldn ' t eat, How his spirit did droop! For fear that the hair Would fall in his soup. 158 The Ramblings of a K. U. Engineer. Now listen to my story Of a K. U. Engineer. As a rambling wreck of poverty, He stood without a peer. He rambled from the North to South, From East unto the West, But a ramble with a K. U. maid Was the ramble he loved best. He rambled, he rambled. He used to ride iii state. But he couldn ' t liquidate; So he rambled, he rambled, His thirst for rambling seemed insatiate. He rambled on the Campus To meet the festive Law. A scrap so tame in all my life I think I never saw. He called the Lawyer windy, But we were up a stump, As to whether Law or Engineer Had aired up at the pump. They scrambled, they scrambled, They scrambled all around All over Oread ' s crown. They scrambled, they scrambled, They scrambled till the Chancellor ' gan to frown. He rambled to Monaco, And watched the gamblers gay. Said he: Here ' s where I make a stake, And then my get away. He staked his pile upon the green He should have played the blue. He left old Monte Carlo Without a single sou. He gambled, he gambled, He gambled on the green, Such gambling ne ' er was seen. He gambled, he gambled, This gambling wreck of poverty extreme. He rambled to the Pearly Gate. Said the saint: Whom have we here? I ' m a rambling, scrambling, gambling rake, A K. U. Engineer. Well, I might have stood for rambling, Scrambling, gambling, and K. U.. But Well, it ' s a sad, sad story. What could the poor boy do? Only shamble, only shamble, He shambled down below, Where they have no ice nor snow. HP shambled, he shambled. Did they turn him out? An Engineer? Oh, no! ! ! 161 Calendar. Sept. 10. Freshmen arrive with diplomas in hand, and buy weekly shares. Sept. 11.

' 63 Costly Courting. Jun Murray and his lady love, One brilliant moonlight night, Were strolling on the golf links, As, of course, they had a right. Jimmie ' s face is growing longer, Growing sad and sadder still. Of his love he has forgotten He wants his ten-dollar bill. In one lingering, blissful moment, From his pocket it did fall. Can you blame the poor bill any? Even paper can ' t stand all. A Pass. He took her to a ball-game: He took her on a pass. A gallant Phi Psi fellow Took a little Pi Phi lass. And when the game was over, A quarrel did they make, About their journey homeward Which pathway should they take? The maiden thought a moment, Then giggled merrily. Let ' s have no words about it; Let ' s simply ' flip ' and see. The Phi Psi blushed to purple. In grim embarrassment. I hope you won ' t insist, he said; I haven ' t got a cent. 164 ' Try This on Your Piano.

Now you may think that this isn ' t true. But I think I surely can prove it to you; ' Twas Edward Moses who tried for the team, And I guess you know why the legs weren ' t seen. He ' s a sonny, he ' s a sonny fine; He was trying to beat somebody ' s time. Did he make a record? Oh! no! no! The watch they held was running too slow.

And seemed to devise all possible means Of passing the time away They lounged about on the Campus And engaged in Library naps: Why should they longer study? They already were Phi Beta Kaps. 169 Mythology as an Advertising Medium When summer dons her fairy sheen And Jove begins to mope, Kind Juno gives to all the boon Of boundless Pear ' s one shilling soap. Diana ' s feet are never sore, Though always on the shoot; The reason ' s very plain to all She wears the Regal boot. Mercury choked upon a lie and died; He never had been stout; You ' 11 find his sons, however, On the Western Union Route. Fair Ceres on her bitter tears Has never called a halt; The product of these juicy drops Is Hutchinson Rock Salt. Apollo ' s playing on the lute Made a tear fall from a star: There ' d been a deluge, had he used A Washburn-made guitar. Minerva wears a happy look That issues from the soul; She does not use the Hartshorn, But the Perry Curtain Pole. You would never sing the praises Of our University; For Hecate, sorceress, tried it Who, verily, possessed tongues three. Here we see good, bluff old Neptune, Salmon trident in his hand; He ' s the sole exclusive agent Of our Three-leafed Clover Brand. The strength of Hercules, they say, Was equal to a horse; He gained it in a simple way, By eating merely Force. 170 Jolly Bacchus never got fleshy, Though he emptied fu ll oft the vat; The secret of his leanness All lay in Anti-Fat. There never lived such singers As the Muses nine, I ween; They ne ' er were troubled with bad colds, Thanks to Vapo-Cresolene. All of Jove ' s communications Hermes carried through the air; He ' d have simplified the matter Had he used a Smith Premier. At the gods ' home on Olympus Everything was always clean; Yet the housemaids never tired, For they always used Pearline. 171 Back, Back, Back to the Woods. Once upon a Time a verdant and chalky-faced Youth, who hailed from a Whistling-post in the Short-grass Region where the woodpeckers had long ago consumed the Depot, enlisted in the Ranks of those thirst- ing (for Knowledge) at K. U. He was met at the train by a Y. M. C. A. delegation and a troop of Club-stewards, who assured him ,of their last- ing Friendship and handed him cards with Tennessee Street addre es scrawled thereon. He was steered by one of the aforesaid Bunco-men to one of the Four- dollar Catalogue rooms, where towels and soap are administered in home- opathic doses at least once in a fortnight. He started in to board at one of the home-like Boarding Clubs where he had Quaker Oats for break- fast, fricasseed Sea Serpent for dinner, and a conglomerated Salad of the two for supper. Each meal was a Prize Package. He never could tell what Prize the Cook would put in the Hash. Hiram and Papa Cobb, after a careful study of the Catalogue, had come to the conclusion that a Young Man, by exercising a little Economy, could go through K. U. on twenty -five dollars per month, and buy himself a Kaw Valley Farm as a Graduation Present. Soon after his debut at the Brain Factory, Hiram discovered that they no longer wore Panties of the vintage of ' 84; neither wera the civil en gineer variety of Coats popular; and the price of Books immediately slipped up several Cogs. By repeatedly bulling the Book-market he was enabled to ally himself with a bunch of Hot Ones who smoked cigarettes, wore creased trousers, talked like Men of the World and wore jeweled emblems on their wes ' cuts. Thereupon he went up in a Balloon, and re- fused to recognize his old pal from his town who was working his way through by running a Laundry Route. His young lady neighbor in the Trig. Class, to whom heretofore he had been paying considerable attention, he immediately blue-penciled because she never attended any Cookey-shines or Catsups or Kettle-drums. At this stage of the game Father Cobb sold the west eighty, and Hiram proceeded to cut a wide swath in the Social Swirl. The Pi Phis grafted him, the Kappas conned him, the Chi Omegas sought to ensnare him with their smiles, and the Thetas showed up well behind Moak ' s trotters. For a Time his head was swelled up like a Soaked Sponge; but one day he tried the Strong-arm Act on one of Mamma ' s Girls, received a swift Uppercut, and came to Earth with a dull Thud. He then took a new hitch on Life and pleaded the Friendship Gag. With this new Graft he gradually worked up quite a case with a Maiden who played golf and didn ' t pronounce her rs. He was now on the high road to prosperity, and when a Silk Skirt swished by he never batted an Eye. Judged by his Hack and Carriage Bills, his popularity was immense. He had at last be- come acclimated and Things were coming his way. Unfortunately, at this time the School Year came to a close, and Hiram had to hie himself back to the Whistling-post. In about a month the common Tradespeople, who could not keep Books correctly, began to send Bills to Papa. Hiram hid in the Hay-mow. During the balmy days of the next September, Hiram dug his Toes in the soft Soil and wished himself back among the Happy Hordes of the Hill. But another Guy was engaged to his Girl and Pa was using his Golf-sticks for Croquet Mallets. MORAL. The Man who hikes the Ante seldom rakes in the Jackpot. 172 The Young Man Who Butted In. Once upon a Time a young Guy from a Goat-farm contracted among the Pierian Spring inebriates of K. U. for a barrel or two of the double- distilled Sort. He was insatiate in his thirst, and to fill his Order quickly was in the habit of inoculating all the Barkeeps and Dispensers of said Institution with his gentle Zephyrs. Sometimes he would keep the Bel- lows going for ten minutes after the Common Herd had been down and out: he never was known to become deflated in less than five minutes by Ben Ward ' s watch. One day, after a stretch of some two hours of Ingratiating Warble, our JEolus was sitting in Wm. Wiedeman ' s Slush Shop absorbing ice cream and Miss Humphrey ' s latest masterpiece, when in jogged four Fairy Nymphs, sat down apart from our hero and ordered up the Palatial Rejuvenators. The Cyclone King, having reached the point of saturation, executed a quickstep to the front, and was soon followed by the Oreads. They were making up a purse to liquidate their liquidations, when they were politely informed by the Tray Artist that their bill had been settled. In wonder they turned and beheld the Hot-air Gusher with a grin as ex- pansive as Jack Cloyes ' trousers. And in return for their winning smiles he did purchase a two-pound Box of Lowuc-y ' s and accompanied them on their journey even so far as the candy went. And never after did a Maiden leave Wiedeman ' s until the Buttinsky was out of sight, and many have been their Rewards for waiting. MttUAi.. You can ' t down a Good Thing, because it doesn ' t know when it ' s down. SHODDY TIES. They tell us K. U. maids have beaux: We don ' t quite understand: We think we know of several Who have a Four-in-hand. Then there ' s another maiden Contented with her lot: When mentioning her beau ideal. They speak of him Ascot. And we know still yet another Whose life with woe is fraught. Her beau has quite deserted her Hers is a Lover ' s knot. A Book Review. THE JEFFERSONIAN GAZETTE. June 10, 1910. It is a matter of the greatest pride that a former student at the Uni- versity should become the greatest authoritative writer on the Law of the land. It seems to be true. The ad. devil to-day received a paper-bound copy of Paustbach von Wakemillerfelt ' s latest. The title is, Crimes and Punishments; or, Deeds and Defences of Devils. The cover is indeed a work of art. It is in three colors red, white, and blue. The red part is calculated to suggest the condition of a man ' s conscience when that man has a criminal intent; the white, the color of his liver while doing the deed; and the blue, the way he feels when caught with the goods. In the introduction the author gives a reason for writing the work. (This is the only part of the book that contains reason. The author does not deal in it any more; and only suggests reason by the lack of it.) The reason, however, is that he has nothing else to do, so he proceeds to do the public, and live on the proceeds. By his own tri-colored yardstick, his liver is white. We can only send his book to the hot heat, where he himself may have to read it as punishment later on. The following are a few excerpts: A man should so act as not to incur the punishment of the law; he should evade it by putting the shells at some other man ' s door. If your client has one dollar, let that be your retainer, and the jailer his. If he has a thousand dollars, see that he doesn ' t go to jail with that much. A man marries a grass-widow with her mother annexed; has two pairs of twins, and thirteen dogs. How may the State, through a proper exercise of its police power, regulate matters for the public good? Solu- tion: Armed by authority from a justice ' s court, the proper officer may give or cause to be given to the mother annexed, one razor; same to be swallowed open; to the grass-widow, one tight-fitting muzzle; to the dogs, plenty of cans each: first the dogs to carry the cans to satiety, then the cans to carry the dogs to a boarding-house table; to the man, one one-way ticket to Sulu, via Utah. If you have a chose in action valued at one hundred dollars, and a chose in possession valued at ten dollars, don ' t jeopardize the one in an attempt to reduce the other. If you lie and are caught at it, lie still. These excerpts are a sufficient demonstration, and we submit the mat- ter without further comment. J. Q. L. 174 The Province of Law. The Maker, in His wisdom, has ordained All things about us: all the hosts on high: The myriad stars; the comet ' s fitful path; The spheres that answer back to fiery source; The twinkling suns, far in the boundless deep, That send their primal light to worlds unknown; The swirl of systems; and the work of things. He sees a nation ' s rise; a sparrow ' s fall; A tear, dead ere it lived; a world winked out In time too brief for measure; or a mote That wanders on through endless time and space: He marks them all. Within His strength is Life; Within His power alone the sway of Death. The U niverse within His hollowed hand He holds it all the Universe is His. The Cosmic Lair, by boundless strength and scope, Decrees each movement of created thing: The fall of star; the sweep of comet swift: The twinkle of a beam from farthest sun; The motion that gives darkness to the night, And light to day, and season to the year; A method to che circling system ' s play; A purl to brook,- a surge to angry sea; A rule to forces great, lest they should plunge In crashing chaos all the Universe. This is the province of the Human Laic: To cause the doing of what should be done; Full justice and fair play ' twixt man and man; The bad restrain; the good encourage on, To that fair state when men shall do no wrong. Does one propose, and one dispose? Not so. For wheresoe ' er the Maker works His will, The Laic, with all its strong magnificence, Works to the self-same high and perfect end. Naught else could be. With sum and subject one, One common aim, one single purpose true, One way to one grand, glorious end. The perfect Laic and God can be but One. J. Q. L. 175 ' Them Good Old Days As we grow old we are prone to cling to the idea that the things of our youth were better than the things of our age; that men were better, that events were more heroic, that women were fairer, and men were braver. Possibly that accounts for the idea that is not confined wholly to my own brain that in years past the Kansas State University was better than it is now. Possibly it would be difficult to bring facts and figures to substan- tiate such a claim, but sufficient unto those of us who make it is the abso- lute knowledge of the truth of it. And yet, such a contention would not be wholly without foundation, for from neither the Class of ' 02, nor of ' 01, nor yet the Class of ' 00 has there come a Congressman, or a great warrior, or author, or statesman. And the classes of twenty years before can boast of all of these. It ill becomes the youngster to say, Give us time, and we will show you. Deeds, not boasts, the world wants, and the classes of twenty years ago have written history; they have done more, for they have made it. Let the juveniles boast when they can point to names that they have carved above others who went before. But the students of twenty years ago do not need defense. They have been fighting their battles, and whether in the ranks or at the head of the brigade, it is seldom that they have allowed the honor or the dignity or the usefulness of K. U. to be questioned. Others may have passed them by in life ' s race, but the score they have made has been such as to bring credit to the institution that gave them their start. And while doing the same good work, while making better and more useful men and women of the boys and girls who sit at her feet, there is such a difference in our Alma Mater now and twenty years ago, that only by close association can one realize that she is the same. Like the parent who indulges the younger children and gives them privileges the older ones never dreamed of when they were young, so our University does more petting, more coddling, and grants more favors to her children than in past years they asked for or thought of receiving. On almost any Friday or Saturday night now there is more noise, more hilarity, more racket, than was allowed on any night save Hallowe ' en twenty years ago. It may be urged that the students make more noise now because there are more of them, but the fact is that there was not one-tenth the noise made then, per capita, that there is now. This proposition I am prepared to prove by the people who were on earth then and who are here yet. As to the work done, it still depends, as it did then, more upon the student than upon the institution or the instructors. But it is a sure 176 thing that those who went before did not have the routs and parties and balls and Frat rushes and line parties and football games, not to say golf and tennis and baseball, to distract their minds, that the modern students have. Had they, I misdoubt me if they could have done even as well as you are doing now. Then the acme of dissipation was a literary society of the Orophelian or Oread variety, an I. C. hen party, or a stroll up to the old windmill in the daytime. The students were docile and obedient, although truth compels the admission -that on one momentous occasion a bunch of Filipinos were rounded up by the good Dr. Marvin, the cr ' tical Dr. Canfield, and the sedate Professor Wickersham for incit- ing to revolution by refusing to attend chapel exercises every mornins; and listen to delectable remarks on infant baptism, the Holy Grail, and the possibilities of prohibition. Expulsion was only averted by the pres- entation of certificates of previous good character and a bunch of red aud blue Sunday-school cards. The offenders were, however, barred from the best society for several weeks. I am informed that at the present I- me a young man or a young woman may absent himself or herself from chapel and still retain very good standing in University circles. Tins change will be looked upon by many as a mark of extreme degeneracy. One advantage possessed by the student of the present day should not be forgotten. If he has an enemy, he can assassinate him in a football game without incurring the enmity of the law or laying himself liable to suspicion. In the halcyon days of the past, many a man was left un- killed because of the fear ol consequences. The modern college has wise- ly made provision for sl ' ielding a man who contemplates manslaughter by permitting him to become a member of the select eleven. The Fraternity spirit was not then rampant as it is now. The Beta? had the pull, and when they had only the Phi Kaps, as they were called then, to contend with, their supremacy was always assured. Conquest was asy. their triumphs many. But at that time the barbarian hordes were in the ascendancy, and it was only by an offensive and defensive alliance with them, and by giving them all that was in sight, that victory could be achieved when the lines were drawn. I am informed that the barbarians now meet and send an engrossed vote of thanks each year to the Frats for permitting them to exist. It is not necessary to mention the vast increase in advantages you have over those enjoyed by your predecessors. The mighty natural his- tory collection has grown from a stuffed dog, a skunk, an owl, and a live snake, of which Dr. Snow was the proud possessor. The great structures have grown from the pile of stone that went to make up North College, and from a country high school it has become a University in fact as well as in name. It is a great institution, and designed to become greater still as the years go by. But there is one thing about it that I fear will get worse for the old uns as the years roll on. I dislike to speak of this matter, fearing that it will be taken as an indication of the advance of years, but others who were with me in school have noticed the same thing, and they, too, have been reluctant to speak of it. It is that Mount Oread is many degrees steeper now than it was tw enty years ago, and about twice as high when I try to climb it. C. S. FINCH. ' 77 A Word of Explanation. As you read the ' 03 JAYH.VWKEB you may perhaps notice a departure in its literary contents, to some extent, from that found in previous An- nuals of Kansas University. Such departure is due to the fact that we believe a publication of this time should not deal with the commonplace. It should contain what roasting is to be done in school publications. It should reveal the weaknesses as others see them and prepare for a strengthening. We believe the contents are in line with those found in the Annuals of other large institutions in fact, we know they are. If you have been roasted, don ' t grieve over it; rather should you grieve if you have been passed by unnoticed. We will not vouch for a single word of truth in the ' 03 JAYHAWKER. Our aim has been to be entertaining, and I think you will agree that nothing is more entertaining than a cheerful, harmless liar. Accident- ally there may be some true statements herein, but you will find it the better plan to question everything. We wish to thank everyone who has helped to make the ' 03 JAY- HAWKEB what it is. We will not enumerate them all, but only mention C. 1 . Edson, who by his ungrudging services has aided us more than we can ever repay. His is the kind of spirit we need in greater measure at K. U. Again thanking you all for your interest, and hoping you may at least find the illustrations pleasing, we remain Your friends (for a ' that), THE EDITORS. 173 A Farewell. Farewell, dear Alma Mater, .. A fond farewell to thee! The day has come we ' ve oft desired, The day that we ' d be free. To know no more thy pleasures, To look no more on thee, Xor share thy richest treasures Is this, then, to be free? Ah. how we were mistaken! And how our spirit craves To remain with thee forever; For our freedom makes us slaves. Slaves to a world of struggles, Slaves to a struggling life, Slaves forever to ambitions. And to ambitious strife. Farewell, dear Alma Mater, A fond farewell to thee! The day has come v.-hen years ago We thought that we ' d be free. 179 Kansas City Medical College. ESTABLISHED 1868.
