THE UNIVERSITY UNIVERSITY PIN. UNIVERSITY YELL: ROCK CHALK ! J AYHAWK 1 K. U. ! UNIVERSITY COLORS CRIMSON AND BLUE. UNIVERSITY SEAL. Chancellor Frank Strong. TO DR. FRANK STRONG, Who entered upon his duties as Chancellor of the University at the beginning of our Junior Year, this book is respectfully dedi- cated b)f the class of Nineteen Hundred Four. HE Class of Nineteen-Four has completed its course. In a few days the places that knew it before shall know it again no more forever. Its members may occasionally return, but they will do so only to wander like forsaken spirits through memory-haunted halls. Its mantle is about to fall upon younger shoulders, and it remains for other hands to carry to completion the work it has begun. The class has witnessed the entrance of the University upon a period of remarkable progress, and has always tried to play well its part in Uni- versity affairs. In passing, the ' 04 JAYHAWKER is left behind to be added to the annuals of other years as a record of its attempt to do something worthy of remembrance. The Annual Board has done its best. The book is yours, gentle reader, with greeting and best wishes from the Class of Nineteen Hundred Four. BOARD OF REGEXTS. CHANCELLOR FRANK STRONG Lawrence Ex Ofilcio. Hox. THOMAS M.

[HE founders of the commonwealth of Kansas made provision in the Constitution for a State University which should be the crown of the free public school system and should open its doors to properly qualified students, without discrimination of race, politics, sex, or religion. The public school system of Kansas begins with the pri- mary grades of the towns and cities and the district schools of the rural sections and proceeds in orderly sequence through the grammar grades and the high school grades to the State University. The official beginning of the University of Kansas must be considered as having occurred on the ist day of March, 1864, when the legislative act of organ- ization, having been approved and signed by Governor Carney, was made a law by its official publication. THE FIRST BUILDING. The first university building, called the North College, was erected at a cost of about $20,000. It was brought to completion early in September, 1866, the carpenters putting the finishing touches to the stairway on the morning of the opening of the University, on September 12. At the dedication, Judge Solon O. Thacher delivered the principal address, and formally dedicated the building to the use of impartial, patriotic, and Christian education. THE FIRST FACULTY. On the i gth of July, 1866, the Regents elected the first Faculty. It is a significant fact that during the early years of the University ecclesiastical politics had much to do with the appointment of members of the Board of Instruction. Three professors were elected: Elial J. Rice, to the Chair of Belles -Lettres and Mental and Moral Science, as the representative of the Methodist Church ; David H. Robinson, to the Chair of Ancient Languages, as the representative of the Baptist Church; and Francis H. Snow, to the Chair of Mathematics and Natural Science, as the representative of the Congregational Church. The first Faculty was largely untrammeled by ancient tradition in deter- mining the course of study and the methods of administration of student affairs. Co-education and instruction in the modern sciences as an essential part of the regular curriculum were features unknown to other institutions of the same class at the time of our beginning. When Chancellor Oliver resigned in the fall of 1867 the regents combined the offices of Chancellor and President of the Faculty. r STUDENTS OF THE FIRST YEAR. At the opening of the University, September 12, 1866, forty students pre- sented themselves for admission. In the first annual catalogue an apology was made for the elementary character of the students in attendance, and the hope was expressed that the preparatory department might be abolished at the end of the second year. As a matter of fact twenty-five years elapsed before this event took place. The forty students enrolled during the first day of the first year were in- creased to fifty-five for the year. The unsettled condition of society necessitated the withdrawal of more than one -half of this number before the end of the year in order to assist their parents in agricultural and domestic duties. In fact, the iunior members of the Faculty became alarmed lest the entire enrollment should disappear before the final examinations, and made a house-to-house visitation, beseeching the parents of their pupils to assist them in avoiding the disgrace of a premature closing of the academic year. ENROLLMENT IN SUBSEQUENT YEARS. The increase in the number of students from year to year has been slow and steady. At the end of the first ten years (in 1876-77) the total enrollment was 359; at the end of the second decade (1886-87), 4 8 9J at the end of the third decade (1896-97), 1004; during the present academic year (1903-04), 1,325. No attempt has been made at any time to increase the attendance by lowering the standard of admission; on the other hand, the entrance requirements have been continually advanced and impartially enforced. GRADUATES OF THE UNIVERSITY. The course of study leading to the degree of A.B. originally occupied seven years, including three years of preparatory work, so that the first class to grad- uate from the University of Kansas was the class of 1873, which consisted of four members. The number of graduates of an institution furnishes a better basis for esti- mating its efficiency than the aggregate number of students without reference to the length of time covered by their enrollment. The University of Kansas has enrolled a total of 16,000 students; of this number 2,500 have completed their courses of study and received the degrees appropriate thereto. During the past six years the number of graduates has averaged more than 200 annually. ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS. The most distinguished service rendered by General Fraser was the suc- cessful execution of his own plan for the erection of the main building of the University, now denominated Fraser Hall. On the 3d of February, 1870, the citizens of Lawrence, by almost a unanimous vote, authorized bonds to the amount of $100,000 for the purpose of erecting this building. The Legislature of 1872 added $50,000 to the amount realized from the Lawrence bonds, and on Decembei 2 of the same year the north wing of the building was first occupied by university classes. Eleven years went by before another Jbuilding was erected. In 1883 the Leg- 10 islature added 84,000 to S8,ooo which had accumulated from the interest on the University endowment, and allowed the Regents to erect a chemical building, the Department of Chemistry at that time occupying a portion of Fraser Hall and greatly endangering from fire the safety of that structure. In 1886, the natural history collections having increased to such an extent as to encroach upon the space in Fraser Hall, already needed for instruction, the Snow Hall of Xi tural History was erected by in appropriation of 850,000, although the appropriation bill passed the Committee of the Whole by a majority of only one vote, and there was considerable opposition to the bill upon the {ground that 850,000 was too large a sum to be expended for a bug house. During the same year, by an appropriation of Si 6,000, a building for the power and heating plant was erected, Fraser Hall having on several occasions narrowly escaped destruction by fire from spontaneous combustion of the coal stored in the basement. In 1893-04 the Spooner Library and the Chancellor ' s residence were erected at a cost of $75,000 and 812,000, respectively, these two buildings and the land upon which they were erected having been bequeathed to the University of Kansas by William B. Spooner, of Boston, an uncle of Chancellor F. H. Snow. The eighth building was the Physics Building, or Blake Hall, erected in 1895 by an appropriation of $60,000. This is the only building upon the campus which was not constructed under the direction of the Regents of the University, it having been constructed by the State Board of Public Works. The ninth building was the Fowler Shops, erected in 1899 for the depart- ments of electrical and civil engineering. This building was the gift of Mr. Geo. H. Fowler, and was the direct outcome of the friendship of that gentleman for Professor Lucien I. Blake. The tenth building was the new Chemistry Building, erected in 1900 by an appropriation of $55,000 for the Department of Chemistry and the School of ii Main Building with Museum in the Back Ground. Pharmacy. The old chemistry buildin was repaired and refitted, and is now known as Medical Hall. The eleventh building was the Natural History Museum, erected in 1901-02 by an appropriation of $75,000, necessitated bv the constant danger to the col- lections from fire and by the urgent need of the entire space in Snow Hall for purposes of instruction. An appropriation of $50,000 for a Law Building was made by the Legislature of 1903, and the erection of this, the twelfth, building in 1904-05 will meet an urgent demand for an enlargement of instructional facilities. INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF INSTRUCTORS. Beginning with three members in 1866-67, the Faculty at the end of the first ten years (1876-77) contained 13 members; at the end of the second decade (1886-87), 27 members; at the end of the third decade (1896-97), 56 members; at the end of the present year (1903-04), 103 members. The classification of the present Faculty is as follows : The Chancellor, 25 full Professors, 14 Associate Professors, 29 Assistant Professors, 17 Instructors, 5 Lecturers, and 12 Teaching Fellows. ENLARGEMENT OF THE SCOPE OF THE UNIVERSITY. For the first nine years the work of the University was confined to the Col- legiate Department, or School of Arts. In 1875 a Normal School was added, only to be abolished in 1885 by act of the Legisalture. In 1878 the Law School was established, and has continued under the uninterrupted deanship of Prof. J. W. Green to the present time. In 1877 the Music School was inaugurated, and in 1891 was merged with the School of Art (established in 1885) into the present School of Fine Arts. In 1885 the School of Pharmacy was ooened and has continued under the uninterrupted deanship of Prof. L. E. Sayre to the present time. In 1891 also the Department of Engineering was separated from the School of Arts and made a distinct school under the deanship of Prof. F. O. Marvin, whose administration remains unbroken to the present time. In 1896 the Graduate School was organized with Prof. F. W. Blackmar as dean, and in 1899 the School of Medicine, with Dr. S. W. Williston as dean, thus making a 12 total of seven schools by which the educational work of the University is now conducted. LABORATORY EQUIPMENT OF THE UNIVERSITY. I. The Library. Beginning with a few volumes of Government Reports, which constituted the nucleus of a large library in an early announcement of the University authorities, the number of bound volumes under the administra- tion of Miss Carrie M. Watson, Librarian, has increased to nearly 43,000, acces- sible to all students from 8 A. M. to 10 P. M., in a building provided with the best modern facilities for reading and research. II. The Scientific Laboratories. Each department of scientific research is equipped with the most approved facilities for demonstration and investigation. The value of the apparatus and illustrative material in the departments of Botany, Zoology, Entomology, Chemistry, Physics, Engineering, Pharmacy, Medicine, and the Fine Arts is not less than a quarter of a million dollars. III. The Museums. The Natural History Museum is especially rich in the departments of mammals, birds, insects, and vertebrate fossils. The tax- idermic work of Professor L. L. Dyche is superior in artistic finish to anything of its kind in either the old or the new world; the collection of North American insects obtained through the long-continued efforts of Professor F. H. Snow is larger and better than the entomological collection of any other educational institution in the United States; and the collection of vertebrate fossils, made chiefly under the direction of Dr. S. W. Williston, contains much material of great rarity and value. The Classical Museum, in charge of Professor A. M. Wilcox, contains full- sized representations of some of the most famous statues of Greek and Roman times, with many photographs, plates, and stereopticon slides. IV. The Athletic Field and The Gymnasium. By the generosity of Col. John J. McCook, of New York, and Governor Charles Robinson, twelve acres con- veniently located have been equipped for out-door games of baseball, football, tennis, and golf, and for track exercises. The Gymnasium, under the direction of Dr. James Naismith, furnishes regular in-door physical training for all the students of the Freshman and Sophomore Classes. CHANCELLORS OF THE UNIVERSITY. Rev.

HIE SCHOOL OF ARTS was for many years the entire University, so that, dignified by a sense of its age, it justifiably feels itself a trifle the superior of the other schools, which, together with it, form the University of Kan- sas, but which are in reality only off-shoots of the Academic Department. When ' Kansas University was established in 1863 under that aspiring title, the fact which the expression stood for was nothing more than a preparatory school, offering about the same courses that a city high school gives at the present time. By 1867 two of the students had made sufficient progress to justify their entrance upon the collegiate work, and with these two enrolled the Collegiate Department came into existence. The early history of the School of Arts was one of slow, but steady growth. The number of students increased from term to term, and the need of professional courses, where young men could acquire professional education without leaving the State, soon came to be felt. As a result, the School of Law was established in 1878; but for a long time it was regarded more as a department of the Arts Course than as a separate school. The attendance continued to increase, and again the demand was made for more professional schools. The time was near at hand when the University of Kansas was to become in reality what it had long been in name. In 1891 the preparatory course was discontinued, and the Schools of Phar- macy, of Engineering, and of Fine Arts were created. The Graduate School was established in 1896 and the School of Medicine in 1899. In 1903 the Summer School was organized. The Arts School may rightly be considered the foster mother of all these schools. After the creation of these various divisions each was put under the super- vision of a dean, and Professor D. H. Robinson was the first to fill that position in the School of Arts. At his death, in 1895, he was succeeded by Professor E. Miller, who resigned in favor of Professor Templin, the present incumbent, in 1903. The first year after the separation of the schools the number of arts students was 264, of whom 70 were women; the next year the number increased to 283, but of these only 191 were men, while the women numbered 22 more than in the the previous year. At the present time the School of Arts numbers 610 students, of which number 338 are women and 272 men. This varying proportion is, of course, natural, for the School of Arts offers only a culture education, and as the equipment and importance of the professional schools have increased, a larger proportion of men have been led to choose an education which will fit them immediately for a definite occupation. The Faculty has been enlarged from time to time as the increased number of students has demanded, and instead of the three professors who had charge of the instruction when the school was first organized there are now sixty-three. The School of Arts offers the usual courses in the languages, history, science, sociology, mathematics, pedagogy, and English, and all these departments are under the charge of professors who have been carefully selected as of superior ability for the work which they have in hand. At a recent meeting of the Board of Regents the name College of Liber? 1 Arts and Sciences was adopted instead of School of Arts. Professor Templin. CHARLES HARKER RHODES, $ B K, Willing ton.

When my eyes beheld her smiling with the splendor of a dream, Like an angel, like a fairy, like a princess did she seem; And she threw a kiss to me, There where all the world could see, And amid the ringing music, like a cloud she floated free. And the awe fell on my spirit like the hush before a storm, Then my heart beat wild and frenzied and I saw her radiant form Dancing witchlike on the air, Splendid, fearless and so fair That I loved her in a moment as I sat in thralldom there. And that deep and awful yearning that a boy alone can feel Flooded through my heart ' s deep chambers and I felt my being reel, And I knew she was divine, O what rapture superfine! Could I ever dare to hope to call so fair a creature mine? Now the days are far behind us, when the other boys and I Carried water to the elephant and saw the show thereby; But I know that now, as men, We shall never love again With that June and ponderous passion, which we used to lavish then. C. L. Ed son 40 ENGINEERS s 41 THE ATGHISON TOPEKA SANTA FE RAILWAY COMPANY. Topeka, Kansas, March 15, 1904, Editor ' 04 Jayhawker, Lawrenc e , Kansas . Dear Sir: I have to advise you that there was some four or five years ago instructions issued by Mr. G. D. Purden, then Asst. Chief Engineer, to the effect that in employing engineers, university graduates should be given preference, other qualifications being equal; the idea, of course, being to acquire men with sufficient ability to advance. I do not have at hand a copy of the instructions but same were in substance as given above. Yours truly, C. A. MORSE. Act. Chief Engineer, The significance of the sentiment in this letter is apparent. In all lines of work, the world over, the college graduate is being accorded valuable preferences over his less fortunate co-worker, but it is in the field of engineering that the pre- ference takes the most concrete form. It is there that the scattered theories, opinions, and prophecies regarding the place of the college bred man have been assembled and given practical application in the formation of orders whose struc- tural clearness permits of no misreading. Such orders are slowly, like sluggish waters, widening the channel between the technical graduate and the practical engineer until the breach will become too wide for bridging and the preferences become imperative demands. To equip men so that they may successfully meet these demands is the function of the School of Engineering of the University of Kansas. That this department is popular is evident from the crowded condition of draughting rooms, laboratories and shops and the generous size of the freshman class ; that the courses offered are exceedingly thorough is evident from the respon- 42 sible positions held by graduates with only a few years ' experience, and from the very limited size of the senior class. However, the K. U Engineer is no slave. He finds time for frequent inter- class affairs : is always ready to initiate the unsuspecting freshman into the mys- teries of the fifth floor draughting room ; and never misses the annual banquet of the K. U. Engineering Association, where he listens to words of counsel from prominent engineers of the middle West till his constantly rising ambitions and aspirations find welcome relief in the famous Engineer ' s slogan.

FINEARIS UNIVERSITY 47 USIC marks the beginning of the ' School of Fine Arts. In 1867-68 T. J. Cook was teacher of vocal and instrumental music. Work under him and his successors was not accredited by the University until 1875, when the Regents decided to employ a regular instructor in in- strumental music. Miss Alice G. Boughton was elected to this posi- tion. This movement marks the beginning of the School of Fine Arts. Besides instruction in Piano, Miss Boughton had several duties which belonged to the School of Arts. She, together with Professor F. O. Marvin, worked up a volunteer chorus among the students, and gave a concert, the proceeds of which bought the first piano owned by the school. Two instructors were employed in 1877, but no well-defined courses in Music were established until the year 1884, when Mr. William McDonald was made Dean of the Department of Music. Under his guidance the school grew greatly. Mr. McDonald was assisted by Mr. Hick. Later, Mr. P. D. Aldrich took Mr. Hick ' s place as vocal instructor, and in 1886 Mrs. Anna March Dunlap was ap- pointed assistant in Voice and Piano. In 1888 Mrs. Dunlap was appointed a full professor upon the resignation of Mr. Aldrich, and she remained with the school until 1893. Mr. McDonald resigned in 1889, and Professor George B. Penny was appointed Dean of the school, and served in that capacity until 1903. During this time the school developed rapidly, and was divided into several departments. Since 1892 Mr. Carl A. Preyer has had charge of piano- playing, with Miss Harriet Greissinger, assistant. The Department of Violin was established in 1882, with Mr. K. Geza Dome as instructor. On his resignation in 1898 Professor J. A. Farrell took charge of this department and that of Voice Culture. Upon his resignation in 1900 the work of Voice Culture was in charge of Professor Penny. Professor Charles Skilton is the present Dean of the school. During the present year Miss Jean Bowersock has been given charge of the Violin Department, and Professor Charles E. Hubach has been appointed head of the Vocal Department, with Mrs. Blanche Lyons as his assistant. 48 In 1885 the first course in Art was offered in the University, with Mary Louise Simpson as Instructor in Drawing and Art Decoration. A course in Free- hand Drawing was taught by her in connection with the regular class-work of the sub- Freshman year. The pupils paid for their instruction by the lesson until 1888-89, when the work was put on a graded basis, a year being devoted to each grade. In 1893 this school was consolidated with the School of Music, with Mr. George E. Hopkins at the head of the Art Department. Mr. Hopkins had charge of this department until 1895, when Mr. A. H. Clark, of Boston, was elected. Mr. Clark served until 1899, when Professor Griffith took his place. Professor Griffith is doing much to develop the department, and he has made his courses very popular. York in Elocution was begun in 1893 under the charge of Georgia Brown. The next year Mrs. Mary Pierce Clark was elected, and she served until 1899, when Mrs. Cora McCollum Smith took charge of the Department of Elocution and Physical Training for girls. The next year the work was divided, and the course in Elocution was given to Mr. Charles Vickery. Professor E. G. Frazier was elected to the head of this department in 1902, which position he still holds. Dean Skilton. 4-K 49 FRANK J. JEHLICK, Atchison. University of Ne- braska; Member of University Orchestra.

UNIVERSITY spirit, when once possessed, is the most powerful and moving impulse of a college man ' s life. Under the spell of its urging, men out-do and go beyond their wildest dreams. The ordinary team upon the gridiron, backed by the tremendous power of a united purpose and fee ling on the part of the school, will often wrest the palm of victory from the hands of a giant foe. The trembling, terrified speaker, facing a sea of upturned and eager, but confident faces, catching the inspiration of the moment, electrified by the cheers from the devotees of his alma mater, becomes master of the occasion, sweeping over the opposition with the eloquence and power of a Webster, carrying off the honors, and winning glory for himself, his fellow-students, and his alma mater. The yielding, plastic, purposeless Freshman is caught in the current of school spirit and enthusiasm, and in the stress of the conflicts on behalf of his beloved school, realizes for the first time the possibilities of his innate manhood and under its benign influence forms the forceful, purposeful character which is destined some day to reflect honor upon his institution. The leader of an institution which is thoroughly imbued with this spirit can, by its subtle power, build up a university so great and powerful that its influenc 6 will be felt in every department, organization, and fire-side of the commonwealth. The Law School is glad of the opportunity to help our esteemed Chancellor in his splendid and successful efforts in this line; for we realize that it is only in the success and reputation of the School as a unit that any separate school may hope to receive permanent and lasting good. And it is with pleasure that the Law School, and particularly the Class of ' 04, pledges its hearty cooperation and support to anything which will in any way advance the interests of the Univer- sity of Kansas. But aside from the loyalty and devotion which we cherish for the University as a whole there exists a feeling of pride and affection for our own Law School. We do not claim it is the largest or best school in the institution, but it is the school we love. It was in this school we formed those associations which bind us to the school at large and are so dear to us; it was in its class-rooms we learned to work the Prof, pony through the quiz, fix a pin for the fellow in front, and form political plots and plans, and all the other incidents and tricks which go to make the variety of college life. It was here we learned the sterner lessons of life which we are so anxious to try upon the world. And while as a separate school our achievements are not of great renown, still in all University affairs we feel that we have contributed our part. On the athletic field the Law man has been an important factor. On the debating and oratorical platform and on the dramatic stage the Law has gained many a favorable hearing. In all University affairs and enterprises we have heartily and willingly assumed the responsibilities that fell upon us. While our past history and conditions have not been of the brightest or the best, the future, after a quarter of a century of unremitting toil on the part of our noble Dean, offers the realization of a long-cherished dream a building for the Law Department. Dean Green, thus equipped, assisted by Professors Burdick, Higgins, and Wood, will be able to build up a school that will be a mon- ument to his name, a credit to the University, and the pride of the commonwealth of Kansas. The Class of ' 04, as it leaves these memory-haunted halls and goes out to grasp the opportunities of an untried future, feel that whatever success may at- tend their efforts whatever positions of honor or respect it may be their lot to hold the influence and prestige which they may wield will be due in a great measure to those profitable and never-to-be-forgotten years spent in the Univer sitvof Kansas.

WELLS, Lawrence. - ROLLING has been taught in the University of Kansas since 1885, when Professor L. E. Sayre left my Philadelphia drug store to become Dean of the School of Pharmacy. So unerring is the skill of the graduate of this school that he can roll a pill that will be pleasing to the sight (if not to the palate). It will have that characteristic glossy appearance and be so perfectly spherical that upon a smooth surface, with the same velocity, the pill will make the same number of revolutions in any direction. The length of time required for the accomplishment of this art is a matter of surmise and conjecture. The Pharmacy School occupies the east end of Bailey ' s Barn, a building having 7,200,000 square inches of floor space, and so constructed that every floor is a drum-head. The faintest noise in the most remote corner can be heard throughout the entire building. In the basement is the liquid air machine, and there is a hot air machine on every other floor. There is also a smelter in the basement, and a squelcher on every other floor. In this school there is a matriculation fee of thirty (count them) dollars ; everything else is free except text-books, note-books, quizz-books, paper, and pencils, chemicals, apparatus, air, water, and gas. You will notice by the cat- alogue that a graduation fee of five dollars is charged, but experience has shown that less than ten per cent of those matriculating are ever called upon to pay this fee. The students of this school are accorded all the privileges of students in other departments (only they ' re not). They recite with the collegiate classes in botany, chemistry, and such other studies as are common to the various depart- ments of the University (which are none). For illustrating lectures, laboratory demonstrations, etc., the Pharmacy Department is liberally supplied with excellent apparatus of modern type, the most important of which are a saccharimeter, refractometer, hydrometers, and nitrometers, thus enabling the Faculty to meet-her most anywhere. 60 The School of Pharmacy offers three courses, viz. course, medium course, and very course. A small but very complete store-room is conveniently located between the Junior and Senior laboratories. Have you seen George? Everything at cost. Epsom salts, 35C per pound. Give him all your money; he will give you a receipt. Off the Senior laboratory is the balance-room, equipped with excellent in- struments the weight-ing -room, where the student attempts to scale the ladder of fame, and ofttimes fortune beams favorably upon him for the balance of his career.

Lawrence High School 66 - - ' . -.--.: L . : At a recent meeting of the Board of Regents the following was adopted : The Regents of the University of Kansas hereby accept and assume the trusts set out in the two indentures of Dr. Simeon B. Bell, executed February i, 1904, and February 18, 1904, and the gift of $25,000, and it is hereby ordered by the Board that the proper officers of the Regents of the University of Kansas -execute a declaration of trust, one copy of which shall be delivered to Dr. Simeon B. Bell and one copy after approval of Dr. Simeon B. Bell in writing shall be filed an the office of the Regents of the University of Kansas at Lawrence, Kansas. This is the formal acceptance by the University of Dr. Bell ' s magnanimous offer to aid the School of Medicine. In 1894 Dr Bell, of Rosedale, Kansas, deeded in fee simple about seven acres of land in Rosedale to the Regents of the Uni- versity, for the site of a University hospital. This tract consists of about one hundred building lots, and it was a part of Dr. Bell ' s plan that a large number of these be sold as an aid in raising a fund to maintain the hospital. He has again shown his interest recently by deeding 440 acres of land in Cass and Jackson Counties, Missouri, in trust to Dr. Strong. This land is to be sold when the Regents direct, and the proceeds are to be invested in interest-bearing bonds. The income is to be used in providing free beds and medical attendance for those who are unable to pay for hospital service. This last gift is valued at $25,000. In the deed Dr. Bell states that i t is the purpose of the gift to establish a permanent memorial fund for Eleanor Taylor Bell, the wife of his youth, and in the spirit of philanthropy and good will. This gift will greatly strengthen the School of Medicine, and it is hoped that the length of the course may be increased. For several years the course con- sisted of only one year ' s work, which was considered equivalent to the work of that length of time in any good professional school. As time went on it was found expedient to increase the curriculum, and in the year 1900 courses in anatomy were added, increasing the length of work to two years. At this time the School of Medicine became definitely established. 63 Dr. S. V. Yilliston, who had been deeply interested in medical education and who had been very largely instrumental in inaugurating the work of anatomy and histology, was made Dean of the School. During his service in that capacity the school was strengthened, and the work done here was accredited in the best medical schools of the country. Upon the removal of Dr. Williston to the University of Chicago in 1902, Dr. C. E. McClung was made Acting Dean, and is still serving in that capacity. Under his guidance it is hoped before long to establish the remaining two years of the regular curriculum. This will afford the many young people who now secure their degrees in other States an opportunity to acquire the right to practice medicine under the instruction of their own University. The School has an excellent reputation, and yearly its well-prepared stu- dents who finish the course secure positions as scholars, instructors, and fellows in other institutions of the kind. The Kansas Medical School is a member of the American Association of Medical Colleges. This secures to the student full credit in any of the best medical schools in America for the work done here. Dr. C. E. McClung. SUMMER. SESSION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSA UMMER SESSIONS as far south as Kansas seemed a doubtful experiment to many members of the University Faculty. But the policy of the Uni- versity administration is to get the utmost possible service out of the University plant, and accordingly the experiment was tried in 1903 for the first time. The results realized on the whole the expectations of all reasonable friends of the undertaking. With a very limited budget it is not possible to retain the entire Faculty. In some institutions the summer session is left largely in the hands of younger instructors and of visitors. But here the word went out that heads of depart- ments were expected to serve so far as possible and after them other instructors in order of seniority. Eighteen of the twenty-two regular instructors were pro- fessors or associate professors. Everything about this first session was experimental and uncertain: the number of students, the courses actually to be given, and the instructors to be called into service. This uncertainty was greatly increased by the great flood in the valley of the Kansas River, which was at its height just at the time when the students should have been arriving in Lawrence for the summer session; whereas the town was in fact inaccessible at that time from many parts of the State and accessible with difficulty for many days after. In view of this condition, the minimum number of students necessary to . insure the giving of any course was reduced from six to three. Courses were given in the following subjects: Botany, Chemistry, Drawing, Entomology, English Language, English Literature, Education, French, Geology, German, Law, Constitutional Law, Latin, Mathematics, and Sociology. One hundred and thirty-four students enrolled for credit, 80 being former students and 54 new to the University; 65 were men and 69 women; 124 were 1 of college grade and only 10 in preparatory work; 86 under-graduates, 38 in graduate work. All in all, both Faculty and students were greatly encouraged by the success of the first session. The weather was favorable beyond expectation. The mean temperature of the thirty teaching days of the session was only 74, while the mercury rose above 90 on but three days ; the maximum was 94. The students were characterized by exceptional earnestness. The spirit of all concerned was admirable. There was no society problem, no athletics problem, no disciplinary problem; in fact, no problem at all, save that of getting the utmost possible good out of the session. Socially, there was the greatest freedom. At the opening of the session Chancellor and Mrs. Strong gave a re- ception, which was attended by over one hundred students. Basket ball and base ball were cultivated. On the last Friday evening of the session a lawn social was very largely attended. On the last Sunday evening a vesper service was held on the steps of Fraser Hall. One of the most valuable features of the session was a series of lectures by Professor Paul Hanus, of Harvard University. Lectures were given by many members of the Faculty and by President Andrews, of the University of Ne- braska, and President Scott, of the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College. William Herbert Carruth. SHE GRADUATE SCHOOL crowns the University as the University crowns the educational system of the State. In it the most advanced work is done. Systematic supervision of this work began in 1887 with the estab- lishment by the University Faculty of a Standing Committee on Graduate students. This system of control continued ten years. In 1896 the Re- gents created the Grf duate School in the belief that a separate organization would stimulate the growth and development of this highest phase of university work. Already the wisdom of this step has been more than vindicated. The Graduate School makes its first appeal to the students who find that they have not been able in their undergraduate course to do as much work as they want or to do certain work as thoroughly as they would like. To these students the Graduate School offers a year of additional study, the successful completion of which is signalized by the Master ' s degree. While Eastern col- lege presidents have been considering the shortening of the college course, Kansas students have been lengthening it for themselves. Every year a considerable and an increasing number of our own graduates are staying for a fifth year. More would doubtless do so could they afford the time and the money. Perhaps there is no better recommendation for our undergraduate course than this feeling that there is so much more to do and this desire to do more. There is no need here for the time-honored warning that education does not end with a college course and a bachelor ' s degree. The Graduate School makes its second appeal to students desiring to devote themselves to an extensive course of original research in some particular field, generally, though not necessarily, in preparation for teaching in that field. The recognition accorded successful work is the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Normally, the work requires three years for its completion, though the granting of the degree within that period or at all depends upon the ability and achieve- ment of the student. The University has zealously guarded the doctorate in the determination that it shall represent as much work and as good work as can be done anywhere. So far the degree has been offered in but few departments of study, chiefly in natural science, in which the wealth of original material here 74 offers exceptional opportunities for research. As rapidly as the resources of the University grow, the first care will be to enlarge the scope of the most advanced work. In the meantime, the University is honest with her students, and tells them frankly when they reach a point at which they can pursue their studies to better advantage in other institutions. The Graduate School, even moie than other parts of the University, appeals to the people of the whole State. The graduates of other colleges in the State are invited to come here to pursue studies which the smaller faculties and rroie limited resources of their own institutions would not allow them to undertake. All are admitted upon the same footing as our own graduates, the only quali- fication being that deficiencies in undergraduate work, where they occur, be made good before degrees are granted. The Graduate School is common ground, where the graduates of all educational institutions in Kansas may work together for the educational advancement of the State.

I approach my desk and find thereon the evening mail. An envelope, addressed in the familiar hand of my eldest son, Harold, meets my eye. Eagerly I open it. What ' s this? an invitation to the Commencement exercises at Kansas University! Well, why not? Harold ' s a Senior. And yet it don ' t seem right. A Senior ! Ah, what a flood of college memories that word conjures up ! I turn to the waning fire in the grate and I place some wood on it ; then, reclining upon my Sargent, I give myself up to dreams. . Fla m e A ctivily. HE CLASS of ' 04 was a good class. I recall how in the early days of September, in the auspicious year of 1900, all roads led to Lawrence. As the over-laden trains swept in from the wind- washed plains of Kansas a medley array of students disembarked. Through the throng of human vultures that lined the platform and pounced upon us like rich morsels, we made our way. Room chosen, club selected, we slowly scaled the hill and sought the registrar. class picture and high school diploma in hand. That hill! Whew! Nature had made us the unconscious disciples of Excelsior, and we felt its inspiration from the first. Ah. the propensities of the Freshman and the activ- ities of those times ! Through the medium of retrospect they flash before me to-night from out those distant years like sparks of light that cable news from conti- nents. As Freshmen first, yes. Imbibed freely of university spirit, and early learned to saunter forth and stab the midnight silence with a raucous Rock Chalk! Convoked a class -meet ing, and called in the Disciplinary Committee to quell the ensuing riot. Later, when mid- night hid the moon behind the hills, and sleep-inducing silence swathed the town, crouched round the stand-pipe, whose repellant form pointed like a fin- ger of warning admonition. A hero mounts aloft to rig the tfckle, another is hoisted high into the darkness, and swaying in his pendulous position outlines with trembling brush the class initials. Assault the grand-stand, whose roof bristles with defiant Sophs. Smash jagged holes in the roof and swarm up through them. Disarm the proud posses- sors and stretch them over the ridge-pole. Rally around our May-pole and win as Freshman do. Return next year as Sophs ourselves, and swagger up the hill! Print a proc and get into trouble. Become involved in a fracas in Fraser. and get into still more serious trouble. Organize for the impending May-pole scrap. Rout the Freshies completely in the first combat, and possession of the hill. The cowering infants are rounded up by Juniors and led by them against our prison in Morrison ' s barn. We ' re outnumbered and defeated. A gallant charge in the park Defeat again, Chains and slavery. When the blush of aurora dispelled the morning rain-mist, the Freshman pennant floated in the breeze. Our lit ' intense ended with the Junior prom. Midnight marauders, who had attempted to despoil the hall of its decorations, were humbled into ignominious compromise. Next day they returned, however, to seize our President, and took him up the river. That ' s why Stainer didn ' t lead the Grand March. II. Embers Receptivity. HE FLAME in the grate has died away, and naught but glowing embers now remain. Aye, even so our class didn ' t live in physical conflict alone, but settled down. From the first it seemed to realize the serious import of college life. I remember how eagerly it entered into college politics and how soon it became the dominant factor in it ; how all phases of Uni- versity activity and enterprise were visited with its influence. The Weekly, our college publication, we controlled continuously from our Sophomore year to our Commencement day. The Athletic Board felt the weight of our representation, and in local athletic rivalry we held the pennant twice. In field or for- um we were always there. Naught Four had few geniuses, but many guns so many, in fact, that the class was canon- ized by the Faculty. Our Ordnance Department was well equipped, and when our heavy artillery caught the range and played upon the finals the discon- certed quizzer turned and fled. We danced and sang and worked and played together. The reunion of each recurring year brought us more closely together and knitted more firmly the filaments of friendship. Senior year ushered in much work and many responsibilities, and right man- fully we labored on Play and Annual. We were hard at work when the gong sounded for final dismission, and, though weary, were not glad to go. I stirred in my chair. The fire was out. I raked the ashes to no avail. . Ashes Refection. A four-years course in college it had its limitations. It gave us the combination to the vault of knowlede, but wouldn ' t let us into the inner safe. It let us into the park, but we couldn ' t pluck a flower. It tantalized our ears with vagrant strains of ravishing music as wafted over thickest walls. Something like a huge cyclonic force had gathered us up from the furthermost parts of the State, whisked us through the air to Lawrence, and there left us. When, after four years of co-mingling, the bonds of communion had been spun, and the power of appreciation devel- oped, the gigantic spirit returned once more to rend the meshes of fellowship, to snap the cords of attachment, and whirling us high in an ever-increasing circle to drop us in the uttermost parts of the world. A step in the hall disturbed my reverie. My wife and children had returned. C. H. Rhodes. JUNIOR OFFICERS v c E -PRE SIDE NT BERT BEAC n SECRET KRY r A v TRE (vsuRt TI . ROBT E.

Membership in most Universities is dependent upon grades alone, but here at the University of Kansas, on account of the inex- act method of giading, moral character and general worth enter into consider- ation. Kansas Alpha Chapter was installed 1889. The members elected from the Senior class this year are as follows : PHI BETA KAPPA. Lucy Abel, Louise Alder, Arthur Basye, Frank E.

The Sigma Xi Fraternity was founded at Williams College, in 1886, and Iota Chapter was installed at Kansas University in 1890. The purpose of this fraternity is rather the encouragement of scientific reseaich work than the honoring of students who have done good work, though the honor follows as a natural consequence of the purpose of its founding. The following members have been elected into Iota Chapter this year: John D. Worley, Grace Medes, Dr. G. H. Hoxie, Marie Greene, Pi of. B. H. Ashton, Phillip Jeans, Emerson Sanboin, T. B. Ford, Otto Lewis. 3 8-K In the fall of 1902 a number of the most prominent non-fraternity men on the Hill formed the Oread Dancing Club. Membership was limited, and was con- fined to Barbs. Since that time the Oreads have existed, not as a close-knit organization, but as a club of about twenty students loosely bound together entirely for social good times. Every three or four weeks dancing parties are given, to which are invited as purely representative a crowd of K. U. students as possible. THE MEMBERS ARE: Kail Kilby, President. Orville Farquharson, Vice-Preside.nl . Chester Smith, Treasurer. Ray Barton.

Athletics. J THLETICS at the University of Kansas is in a transitory state. The fl l change has kept abreast of the advancement of other departments of m I the University under the new regime. The progress has been rapid, and already there are scarcely any traces of the old conditions. The time is not distant, if the present rate of improvement is maintained, when the Athletics of the University will be as firmly established as in any Western institution. A board of twelve men from the Facul ty and students control athletics. The authority of this board is complete. Its decisions are final. Any athletic team not under its control is not recognized as a University team. It employs the various coaches and athletic manager, passes on the eligibility of candidates for teams, awards the honors, and performs the numerous other duties that arise in this department. Dr. James Naismith, Physical Director, is assisted by Mr. U. S. G. Plank, who is also Athletic Manager. They have visited Eastern Uni- versities during the winter and spring for the purpose of observing methods used in other schools and gathering ideas which may be used in bettering the tfretic conditions here. Mr. Harold Weeks, of Michigan University, a pupil of Yost, coached the foot ball team of 1903. Nothing shows the school ' s appreciation of this estimable gentleman ' s services more than the earnestness with which he was persuaded to coach the team again this fall. Never until this year has the base ball team had a regularly employed coach. Mr. James Durham, one of Dale Gear ' s star players (?), has trained the team. Mr. Fay Moulton, an ex-Kansas University student and a champion track man of Yale, has devoted considerable time to the track team this spring. He gives his time and services to this work, since he takes pride in keeping his amateur standing. The first annual in-door meet with the University of Missouri was held March 1 8th at Convention Hall in Kansas City. This meet was very successful, and went to Missouri by the narrow margin of five points. April 3oth the first annual inter-high school meet was held on McCook field. All the accredited high schools of the State are invited to send representatives to these spring games. The team winning the most points gets a silver loving cup. Gold and silver medals are awarded to individuals winning first and second places. It is hoped that these annual meetings will put new life and interest into the athletics of the various high schools, and at the same time benefit the athletics of the University in many ways. The University realizes the fact that a prominent student body is abso- lutely necessary to develop the highest type of college athletics. Four-year men are wanted. There is no place here for the rambling athlete who disappe irs as suddenly and as mysteriously as he appeared. Evidences of a permanent ath- 118 letic student body are already apparent. The average scholarship this year of those active in athletics is high. The captains of the last two foot ball teams have been honored with the highest recognition of scholarship that their re- spective schools can confer. By a conservative estimate only one in thirty of those classed as athletes failed last term. It is obvious that the men are here for business. The time is past at the University of Kansas when ? man can register, play with a team, drop out until another season, re-enter the school, and play with the team again. These better conditions and rising standard are not owing to increased and adequate facilities, although some minor improvements have been made in the cellar and gymnasium of Snow Hall, but have resulted, rather in spite of these inconveniences. Instead of ceaselessly pleading for a new gymnasium and promising great results then, the Athletic Department is going to show itself worthy of commodious quarters. That condition is rapidly coming about, and when the Legislature sees that the University merits a gymnasium it will grant an appropriation for one. m ATHLETIC BOARD.

Captain of the 1903 team is from Beloit. Bruin ' 1 has played three years on the ' Varsity at full back, tackle and end and is a good hard- working player. His work has never been phenominal, but he is alwavs just where he is needed the most and plays for the team all the time. He has been a good captain, a good player and a good University man L and has the best wishes of eveiv student in the University. ALBERT HICKS, Captain-elect of the 1904 team is also from Beloit. He has played three years at end and his position has always been well taken care of. He is a hard steady player and has the faculty of always being near the ball, especially on fumbles. The team showed their confidence in him by making him captain for next year. Hicks was named by McLean as an end on the all Missouri Valley ' Leven and will make a good man to lead the 1904 team. 121 GAMES PLAYED-8EASON 19O3. GAMES OX MCCOOK.J Sept .28. K.

U. during the past year has kept pace with the increased popularity of the game throughout the country, which was due in a large measuie to the splendid success of the National Tennis Tournaments held at Newport the last two seasons. The spring tournament to decide the University cham- pionship for 1903 brought out nearly twenty entries. The singles in this contest, together with the championship cup, were captured by F. R. Feitshans, while the doubles went to Clifford and Feitshans. In the Nebraska tournament, held the first week in June, Feitshans won the singles from Tyner of Nebraska, by the score of 6-3, 3-6, 6-4, 5-7, and 6-2. After the Nebraska tournament, games were played at Chicago and Oberlin independent of the athletic managment. Clifford and Feitshans, met Bingham and Nelson, the crack Chicago team, upon the University campus. The singles between Bingham and Feitshans were hotly contested, nearly all games going to dence before being won by either player. The final score in favor of Chicago was 6-4 and 6-4. The doubles resulted in a victory for Chicago the score being 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4. On June 8th Feitshans won the championship of Oberlin University by defeating Oberlin ' s singles player, Reed, by the score of 6-2, 6-2. In the fall of 1903 Clifford and Feitshans met the Missouri team at Columbia. The singles went to the Kansas man with com- parative ease, but the doubles were fiercely contested and not until the last set was the match decided, the final score being 6-4, 5-7, 7-5, 5-7, 8-6. 124 ' 25 Base Ball Team. 125 BASE BALL TEAM, 19O4.

HE DEBATING WORK of the UniversHy was this year reorganized and changed in several particulars. At the first of the year it was decided to do away with a preliminary contest before each debate, and instead of that organize what was known as a debating squad. In accordance with this plan each literary society was asked to send six men, making thirty-six in all, to form the squad. This number was then divided into eight divisions, each of which debated in turn before the three Faculty members of the Debating Council, Professors Burdick, Frazier, and Lawrence. The six- teen having the highest grades from these contests were then chosen to make up the Debating Squad proper. Six of these men were put to work on the Missouri question, six on the Nebraska question, and four on the Colorado. These men studied their respective questions for about two months, when a public contest was held, and the eight best from the sixteen chosen to represent the University in the inter-state contests. This system has pleased its most ardent supporters beyond expectation ; it has resulted in getting men on the teams who knew every phase of their respective questions thoroughly. The team chosen to represent Kansas against Missouri was composed of G. T. Guernsey, W. H. Elder, and G. A. Neely. This debate was held in Lawrence on April Qth on the question, Resolved, That the fifteenth amendment has not been justified, of which Kansas had the affirmative. Although Missouri won by a decision of two to one, yet our boys acquitted themselves admirably. The Nebraska and Colorado teams were composed of J. W. Kayser, J. A. Johnson, and S. E. Bartlett on the former, and F. A. Sims and J. G. Bender on the latter. Both of these debates occurred out of Lawrence. In the fall of 1900 some young men of the University organized a new lit- erary society. As it was the last one formed they selected the last three letters of the alphabet for its name. Its primary purpose is training in debate, but extempore speaking and drill in parliamentary law have always been practiced. If success is reckoned by results, X. Y. Z. has succeeded in developing debaters. Of the eight men who represented Kansas four were X. Y. Z ' s. This year ' s record is a repetition of this proportion. In October, 1903, the club was incorporated, and is now the only chartered club in the University. X. Y. Z. is further the only club having a permanent hall, which it fitted up last November. The annual banquet was held in the X.Y. Z. Hall, March 19, 1904. OFFICERS. President W. H. LIVERS. Vice-President W. H. ELDER. Secretary S. R. LOGAN. Sergeant-at-Arms J. C. PETIT. Reporter C. A.

Ryan, J. W. Gowans, and other prominent members of the 1903 Class. Since its inception it has done good work along literary lines. Its members are particularly interested in all forms of university work, and are found actively supporting every worthy student enterprise. The fact that the society strives to develop its men and make them active participants in every enterprise con- nected with the University has a tendency to make them better fitted to cope with the problems of actual life. At present it numbers twenty-five active members. N. P. Sherwood is President; C. G. Landrum is Secretary. COOLEY CLUB. The Cooley Club was organized in the fall of 1899 by the Junior Law Class of that year, and bears the name of that eminent jurist, Judge Cooley, of Michigan. The purpose of its organization was to create a competitor for the Kent Club, which is also a law society. Its membership is limited exclusively to members of the School of Law. The meetings are given up to discussions relating to the professional work of the lawyer. This year Cooley is represented on the Kansas-Colorado and Kansas -Missouri Debating teams. It has a high reputation as a debating club and literary society. The officers are: President J. A. BRADY. Vice-President H. M. MCCARTNEY. Secretary E. E. DISNEY. Treasurer . . . . E. PETRY. THE QUILL CLUB. The Quill Club came into existence in the fall of 1899 as the result of an agree- ment by the University cl-iss in Prose Invention to continue their work together during the second term, independently of enrollments and grades. The experiment proved so pleasant and profitable that before the end of the year it was decided to adopt a name, choose officers, and elect to membership such members of the Junior Class as had shown special ability in original com- position, in order thus to provide for the permanence of the Club. The under- standing was that election of members should take place not later than the middle of the academic year. The Club has continued to exist as a small but active or- ganization, holding weekly meetings. The officers for 1903-04 are: President ROY WINTON, ' 04. Vice-President ELLEN PENDLETON, ' 99. Secretary MARIE A. GREENE, ' 04. 134 Snow Literary Society was organized October i, 1897. Its membership this year is forty-five, twenty-two young women and twenty-three young men. Snow is unique among the University societies in that it possesses a piano, is named after a Chancellor, and has the true spirit of co-education. Snow stands for good work. In the six years of its existence this society has furnished two State contest orators and seven inter-collegiate debaters. Original stories, essays, book reviews, parliamentary drill, debates, and music make its weekly meetings interesting and instructive. Snow stands for helpful social association. The slate system insures the members getting acquainted, and recess gives opportunity for friendly argument as to the merits of the program and for the little nonsense now and then that ' s relished by all Snows. The Hallowe ' en party, the Christmas meeting, the spring picnic, the girls ' and the boys ' special programs, are annual features of Snow, combining work and play, frolic and worth, the light and the serious. Snow, in brief, stands for Sense, Nonsense, Oratory, Wisdom. OFFICERS. President F. A. HARTMAX. Yice-President F. F. RUPERT. Secretary ELLEN BOYLE. Treasurer E. P. DAVIES.

KEXT CLUB. The Kent Club is a literary and debating society of the Law School. Its meetings every Friday night are attended by able and industrious students, who there practice the elements of public speaking. The topics for discussion cover a wide field, and members are thus kept in touch with a broad culture, at the same time learning to analyze questions in a clear, logical way. Kent ' s members have been prominent in the various inter-State debates, and have always re- flected credit upon the University. C. T. Kirk is President and E. Petry, Sec- retarv. Women are a new race, recreated since the world received Christianity. ' ' Beecher. Mental training alone does not make a woman. It is quite possible that knowing the history of Greece and the composition of proteids she may be but a learned monstrosity. Complete womanhood, gracious while strong, broad in sympathies, while earnest in principle, is the ideal of the Young Woman ' s Chris- tian Association. Its purpose is to bring all University girls together, uniting them to form an environment for the development of spirituality. The Association of Kansas University was organized under its present Con- stitution in 1892 with Miss Laura Radford as its first President. The active membership for this year is 165; honorary membership, 50. Among the alumni members are two missionaries, four Y. W. C. A. General Secretaries, and other Christian workers. To make an intelligent being yet more intelligent has been given as the motto to study. But there is a second view of culture, as Matthew Arnold writes, with its motto best expressed in the words of Bishop Wilson : To make reason and the will of God prevail. OFFICERS.

The students of the Department of European History, with the cooperation of members of other departments in the University, holds a conference every two weeks between the Christmas and Easter recess, at which papers ere read or addresses made on various topics relative to the work in history, but which are not of such a nature as to be taken up in the class-room work. During the present year the speakers and subjects were as follows: Prof. C. L,. Becker The Superlative in History. Prof. A. J. Boynton The Black Death. Prof. W. C. Abbott Oxford University. Prof. A. M. Wilcox Archaeology and History Mycen.T. GB E,E,K SYMPOSIUM. The Greek Department holds weekly meetings for the students of that depart- ment, which are also open to all students in the University. The programs con- sist of lectures on topics of particular interest to students of Greek. Illustrated lectures have been given this year on Grecian architecture. COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN.

The purpose of the Conference of Sociology and Economics is to keep in mind the close inter-relation which exists between the various lines of work in the same department and also the place which the sciences studied theoretically in the University occupy in the business world. The discussion of magazine articles on social and economic subjects in their bearing on the work of the class-room and lectures by members of the Faculty and men actively engaged in industrial and economic labors are features of the Conference. This year lectures were delivered by Superintendent W. H. McLain. of the St. Louis Provident Association, by State Labor Commissioner W. L. A. Johnson, and by Thornton Cooke. of the Fidelity Trust Company, of Kansas City. The students in American history have taken an active interest in the Con- ference this year, and three lectures have been delivered by Prof. F. H. Hcdder of that department. The officers of the Conference are a Standing Committee for tbe a:rargetrent of programs. The object of the Young Men ' s Christian Association is to promote active Christian work among the University men. The organization has been in exist- ence for twenty-two years. The history of these twenty-two years would be in- teresting to read, but we are more concerned with the present. The Association represents a group of men organized to do something for the good of the students and not primarily to get something for themselves. It is a credit to our student body that in such an organization are numbered over one-third of the men of the University. The interest of so many men in the Association is due to the character of its work. It enters every unoccupied field of student life which it can fill. The work that is done through the Employment Bureau and for new students is especially appreciated. The social side of college life is not disregarded, but is given a place in the receptions and the social evenings at the house. Due emphasis is placed on the religious life in the weekly meetings and in the Bible and Mission Study Classes. As we have watched the Association in its work for four years we can agree that it has proved itself an indispensible factor in our student life. We leave with it our best wishes and a God-speed for its future success. OFFICERS. J. F. BENDER President. C. B. HOSFORD Vice-President. E. H. DUNMIRE Secretary. E. P. DA VIES Treasurer. C. W.

The Dramatic Club is one of the most popular organizations in the University, and its plays have come to be a feature of the social life of the school. The plays given by the Club have been by American dramatists only. This year the Club put on two plays instead of one, as has been the custom. This plan serves to bring out more clearly the talent of the members by offering a larger number of characters to be played, but, for financial reasons, it is doubtful whether it will be continued in the future. Next year the Club will take up the study and stageing of plays of more literary value than those it has presented in the past such plays as She Stoops to Conquer, The Rivals, or School for Scandal. This will require a much more thorough and conscientious study of the author, the characters of the play and the interpretation of the lines than has been previously given to the productions by the Club. To be a Club member and take part in one of the productions means a great deal of hard work and considerable sacrifice of personal pleasure on the part of each individual member of the cast. The members chosen for a cast give all their spare time to the rehearsals and spare no pains or expense to make the play a success, having as their recompense the pleasure of seeing their efforts appreciated. Since its organization in 1901 the Club has presented the following plays: I90i- ' o2 Shore Acres. By James A. Herne. I902- ' o3 A Night Off. By Augustine Daly. I903 ' o4 Alabama. By Augustus Thomas. ' o4 Rosemary. By Louis N. Parker and Murray Carson. 142 - The Mining Department has a meeting once a week with the members oi ihe Mining Faculty and Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Students. Its object is to discuss current mining news, as gathered from different magazines and any and all other sources and Tor the general expression of v ' ews on subjects relating to the Department, which cannot well be made a part of the rcgulrr prescribed course. Here students and Faculty meet once a week on a common plane. The informal discussions and reports on mining matters in general are very beneficial, so much 30 that it is thought best to retain the Mining Journal Meeting as a per- manent feature of the Department. The Chemical Club. The Chemical Club is composed of the instructors and advanced students in the Departments of Chemistry and Pharmacy. It holds weekly meetings, at which are presented reports on research work by instructors and students; reports on scientific meetings and associations; reviews of new books and im- portant articles in chemical journals, and notices cf important inventions ?.nd new chemical processes. The Pharmaceutical Society. The Pharmaceutical Society was organized in 1886 by the students and in- structors of the Pharmacy Department for the purpose of assisting each other in the study of the sciences especially related to the art of pharmacy. Meetings are held every two weeks, at which ail members of the School of Pharmacy are welcome. - This year the Society has had the pleasure of hearing a series of lectures by Professor Higgins, of the University of Kansas, and two illustrated lectures by Mr. J. P. Raymond, of Kansas City. 144 ait 10- K 145 THE UNIVERSITY WEEKLY. The University Weekly is the official newspaper of the University. It is conducted entirely under the management of the student body. An editor-in- chief and board of assistants, from which the staff officers are chosen, are elected at the end of each semester to serve during the following semester. The Weekly is the instrument for the expression of student opinion. During the fall term Mr. Roscoe Chambers was editor. The present staff of the Weekly is as follows: Editor-in-Chief, RALPH ELLIS. Associates, A. H. BASYE, E. B. BLACK. Sporting Editor, FRED A. GILLETTE. Local Editor, J. W. KAYSER. Society Editor, MABEL BARBER. Literary Editor, CHAS. L. VAN FLEET. Business Manager, M. N. MC.NAUGHTON. THE KANSAS LAWYER. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS PRESS CLUB The members of the University interested in newspaper work have recently organized a Press Club, the purposes of which are to facilitate University news ' - gathering, to guard against the exaggeration of news to the detriment of the University; and to promote good-fellowship among University news -reporters. A suitable constitution and by-laws have been adopted and permanent or- ganization has been effected. A keen interest is being taken by the newspaper men in the University, and the plan is receiving encouragement from the Faculty as well as from Kansas editors. The Club will provide entertainment for visiting newspaper men, and will have informal meetings for its own members. Regular meetings are held bi- weekly. The officers elected for this year are: President Marvin H. Creager. Secretary . . Ralph W. Ellis. Treasurer Roscoe Chambers. 146 The Kansas Lawyer is a monthly publication issued under the management of the students of the School of Law. It is the official publication of that depart- ment and treats of problems connected with the work of the student of law. The staff of the Lawyer is elected during the latter half of the second semester, and serve ) through the following year. The present editors are: Editor-in-Chief T. J. Hanlon. I Wirt G. McCarty. Associate Editors Burdette Blue. f Alpha Brumage. Business Manager C. M. Mills. THE GRADUATE MAGAZINE. The Graduate Magazine is a monthly publication issued in the interests of the alumni of the University. It was started by the Alumni Association of the Schools of Arts and Engineering. It deals with problems in which the alumni of the University are interested, and is directly responsible to the Alumni Associ- ation, though issued under the formal control of the University. Its editors are members of the Faculty, who are also graduates of the University. The Grad- uate Magazine furnishes the alumni the means of keeping in touch with each other and also with the University. The present staff is as follows : Editor, PROF. R. D. O XEARY. University Editor, PROF. M. W. STERLING. Al umni Editor, Prof. E. F. EXCEL. College News-Editor, PROF. M. A. BARBER. Business Manager, PROF. OLIX TEMPLIX. SCIENCE BULLETIN. The Kansas University Science Bulletin, formerly The Kansas University (Quarterly, is maintained by the University as the medium for the publication of the results of original research by members of the University. Formerly the Quarterly was issued at regular intervals, as indicated by the title, but numbers of the present series appear without regard to specific dates. The chief value of the Science Bulletin arises from the large number of scientific journals which it secures as exchanges. These number nearly three hundred and come from universities and scientific societies the world over. The Science Bulletin is issued under the supervision of a committee selected from the science faculty. The present membership of this committee is as follows: Prof. V. C. Stevens Chairman. Prof. S. J. Hunter Secretary. Prof. H. B. Xewson Managing Editor. Prof. E. H. S. Bailey. Prof. Erasmus Haworth. THE PHARMACY ANNUAL. The Pharmacy Annual is a publication issued by the graduating class in the interests of the School of Pharmacy. In it is published each year a souvenir program of the State Pharmaceutical Association. The Pharmacy Annual is sent to every druggist in the State, and is instrumental in bringing many students to the School of Pharmacy. The staff of this publication is as follows : Y. S.

For some time the Club labored under great difficulties, and it was not until the firsc of the year that it was established on a firm basis with its present membership of ten. For a number of years past the Mandolin Club has been directed by a pro- fessional musician, and was not purely a student organization. But this year both director and players are regular students in the University. The Club has given three concerts, two of which have been in connection with the Glee Club. The first concert was given in the Chapel March 4th, the second in Kansas City at the Central High School, April 22d. Both these con- certs were highly successful. The third concert at the Kansas City, Kansas, High School was given by the Club alone. The Club has had many invitations to play at various lectures, entertain- ments, etc., and has always shown great willingness to perform when called upon. A longer concert trip is being planned for the coming year. The members of the Club are: Heim Goldman. T- O. Skofstad. W. D. Wilson. ( Frank G. Bedell 4 Clyde A. Funchess. ( Jerome Beattie.

Director. 158 First Mandolin Second Mandolin Guitar THE ORGANIZATION of a Glee Club this past winter has been due to the efforts of Professor C. Edward Hubach, Professor of Voice. Early in the first semester he began interesting the boys in the work, and within a few weeks had organized a club, which consisted of about twenty-eight voices. There were no professional singers in the club, and few of the members had had any previous training in such work. In this Professor Hubach has shown his ability as an organizer and leader, for these untrained voices have been developed until the boys do as well as many clubs of long standing. Two concerts h?ve been given in connection with the Mandolin Club, one March 4th in the Chapel and one April 22d at Centr al High School in Kansas City. The object has been to get the organization on a firm, permanent basis. It is supervised by a .Faculty Committee, to whom the manager is responsible. A creditable grade of class- work and excellent deportment are required of the mem- bers. The policy of the management is to make frequent short trips rather than one long concert trip. The members of the Club are : FIRST TENOR. Charles Stichter. A. G. Robinson. Harold E. Papham. Harry W. Gowans. Fred B. Benson. F. A. Hartman. D. H. Rose. SECOND TENOR. Alva D. Bernhard. E. L.

Two concerts have been given, the first on February 19, with Mrs. Blanche Lyons as soloist, and the second on April 28, with Miss Maud Rush and Prof. C. Edward Hubach as soloists. The proceeds of the con- certs have been expended on instruments and music. The success of the orches- tra during the past year has been due largely to the interest and kindness of Dean Skilton. 153 co - ' i MS as a - 5 fi ft CQ g 4 a tac n .8 ea cd -g _ e8 53 !

The Verein is regularly organized, with President and Secretary, and meets every Monday after- noon in the lecture-room of the German Department. The meetings are conducted entirely in German; songs are sung, stories and poems re- cited, and sometimes a formal debate takes place. The program is Iways fol- lowed by the Critic ' s report. After the program the Verein is divided into small circles under the direction of instructors for the purpose of playing games. In the games every student participating has the opportunity to practice his German on his indulgent friends. The usual program is sometimes varied with a lecture by one of the cultured Germans of the town. Occasionally scenes from William Tell, Minna von Barnhelm, or Wallenstein are presented by the students in the department, or an entire short comedy is given now and then. Besides the Verein there are smaller circles that meet every w r eek either at the University or at the homes of instructors. The object of these circles is to acquire fluency in the use of colloquial language. The meetings are therefore conducted very informally; the happenings of the day are talked over, and stories and anecdotes related. In one of these circles poems of Uhland have been fre- quently discussed this year, and in another the description of pictures and simple art criticism has proved a fertile topic of conversation. lie Cerele The instructors and students of the French Department meet once a week to discuss French topics in the French language. The subjects of the discussions are varied, ranging from an amusing anecdote to a visit to the monuments of Paris ; from an account of debates of the Chambre, or the criticism of a play, or novel to a recent archaeological or philological discovery. The absence of formality, the frank comradeship existing between teacher and pupil make it ea.sy to carry out the purpose of the club, which is to create a love of the beautiful French language. Such discussions give ease in the han- dling of language and facility of expression necessary to one who desires to know a living language. The May Festival. The May Festival held this year was a new departure in the musical world of the University. The Festival consisted of three concerts given on the 2 7th and 28th of May The first of these concerts, held on the evening of the ?7th, was a piano and vocal recital by William Sherwood, Pianist, and Eleanor Kirk- ham, Contralto, both of Chicago assisted by the various musical organizations of the University and the Faculty of the School of Music. In the afternoon of the same day a second concert was given by the Chicago Sym phony Orchestra and soloists. In the evening a third concert was given by the Festival Chorus, assisted by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Glee Club Quartette, and Mrs. Lyons, Soloist. One of the numbers of this concert was a concerto by Professor Preyer and the orchestra. 155 Afi BATTLiE. A demon there is in the icy North, A madman who would be king, And in jealous rage he bellows forth His anger ' gainst queenly Spring. In blustering winds his challenge comes: War to the death, I declare! Spring answers not; then thunder his drums And his armies throng the air. His soldiers of snow, with fear all pale, Their master ' s command obey, And swift they advance, for what avail To shrink from the heartless fray? Do they lag but a step his angry breath In fury urges on, Till they drop from the ranks in welcome death, And winter knows not they are gone. Retreating Spring her realm of green Gives o ' er to the lord of the storm; Forsaken her banners once gay are seen; Lifeless each flaunting form Of violet captains, grass soldiery brave; Her winged musicians are dumb As they flee with their queen to the Southland cave Where Winter cannot come. Soon the Emperor Sun his cohorts will send To enter the field of strife; Ah, then the battle shall shortly end, Mad Winter shall yield his life; His soldier-train shall vanish in rain, But their passing shall new life bring, And the grass and the violets rise again To welcome returning Spring. Mary Florence Fores 150 157 The ship-wrecked sailor, stranded on a lonely shore, Who, rescued in his last sad years, Seeks but to see his native land once more, Finds there scant welcome and no friendly cheer; Himself forgot, the world more drear; Prays then the anchors of his life to slip And let his soul drift back again To lie in peace, sea-buried by the sunken ship. So man who once from out the tide of life is driven Returning finds his pleasures with his body to the grave were given. Thrice blessed is he who once laid down to rest Wakes not again till heaven dawns the west. R. W. M. 158 Each in His Ouun Tongue. A fire-mist and a planet, A crystal and a cell, A jelly-fish and a saurian, And caves where the cave-men dwell; Then a sense of law and beauty And a face turned from the clod, Some call it Evolution, And others call it God. A haze on the far horizon, The infinite, tender sky, The ripe, rich tint of the corn-fields, And the wild geese sailing high, And all over upland and lowland The charm of the golden-rod, Some of us call it Autumn, And others call it God. Like tides on a crescent sea-beach When the moon is new and thin, Into our hearts high yearnings Come welling and surging in, Come from the mystic ocean, Yhose rim no foot has trod, Some of us call it Longing, And others call it God. A picket frozen on duty, A mother starved for her brood, Socrates drinking the hemlock. And Jesus on the rood ; And millions who, humble and nameless, The straight, hard pathway plod, Some call it Consecration, And others call it God. 159 my Ideal Student. My ideal of a student has changed a number of times since my student days, and I fear that my ideal student has been growing more and more mature until now a freshman might perhaps, inverting the usual freshman blunder, mistake him for a member of the i ' culty. The chief thing that I wish in my ideal student that is, the thing that seems to me to include all others is that he shall carry with him always consciously or subconsciously, in a corner of his heart somewhere, the thought of that home group, in which he himself occupies a central space, and that he shall look into that little corner every little while end see what wireless message is there for him. I shall then have no fear that he will work too hard at society or athletics or books, that he will waste time or money or get into trouble; on the contrary I shall expect to find him sharing in all student activities, sometimes pushing, quite often holding back; and to hear him described by his fellows as level-headed and by his seniors as a man of character. E. M. Hopkins. fifty Ideal Professor. My ideal professor is broad a paradox for who can be broad in this age of specialization and yet be a specialist in one line? My professor is broad in his sympathies. He remembers that the work was hard for him the first time he went over if., and that his is not the only course on the Hill. He is courteous, yet impartial. He recognizes and gives credit for faithful work, even if it is not of the highest grade. He is a gentleman; sarcasm and roasting he does not indulge in. My ideal professor is not anxious to force his advanced ideas upon his students. His Influence is for conservative acting on questions of religion. My ideal professor may not be i re lity, but he can be so near a reality that he will have all these gentlemanly qualities. Of course he will be human, I expect that ; but he can be so human that he will fit and fill his niche completely. In so doing, he will approach the ideal, and make for himself a name that is loved and respected by all. W. T -I. Livers. 1 60 Chronicles of the Juniors. CHAPTER IIJ. Xow, in the days before the flood there was a certain tribe known as the Class of 1904. And on arriving at the Junior year they decided it fitting that they should hold a Junior prom. vSo they gathered themselves to- gether and made much labor in prep- aration thereof. And on the eve of the day before the prom the chief of the Juniors held converse with his sub-chief. And they agreed that it were not wise that the hall should be left un- guarded throughout the night. So the chief and his sub-chief took blankets and six-shooters and went up into the hall to pass the night. And it came to pass that certain of the Sophomores were in the street be- low when the chief and his sub-chief went up into the hall. And they spake unto one another, saying: Go to. Is it not a keen stunt to capture the chief and deprive him of the morrow ' s f estivi cies ? And thev said unto themselves, Ha! ha! And they hied them to others of their tribe that they might have a goodly number with which to sur- prise the chief and his sub-chief. For they were known throughout the country round about as men of great strength. Xow, in the second watch of the night the chief of the Juniors awoke. And he beheld throughout the hall certains ones of the tribe of the Soph- omores. And he was sore perplexed; And he smote the sub-chief in the ribs with an exceeding great smite, saying: Arise and get busy, for there is much to do. And they arose and took up their six-shooters and began to shoot large, irregular pieces out of the firmament. And when those of the tribe of the Sophomores heard the shooting their hair rose up on end and their knees smote. And they were sore afraid ; And they fell down and implored the mercy of the chief of the Juniors. And the chief, being a generous man, spake unto them, saying: Be- gone! And they be went. And it came to pass that on the next day certain women of the tribe of the Sophomores captured certain women of the tribe of the Juniors and confined them in the attic of a frat house. And when the chief of the Juniors heard these things he was troubled, And he said unto his lady guard, Go, rescue these maidens, lest there be none present at the prom to-night. And when the guard were gone, the men of the tribe of the Sophomoies, who were in hiding nearby, approached to give battle unto those of the men of the tribe of the Juniors, who weie present in the hall; And they that attacked were as the sands of the sea for multitude, and they were terrible as an army with banners; And they went up into the hall and threw themselves upon the chief of the Juniors ; And they anointed his her,d with the juice of the sorghum plant and filled his eyes and nose with the pul- verized fruit of the red pepper vine; And they carried him down to the river and placed him in a boat ; And they bore him out of the region of Lawrence even unto the land which lieth over against Lake View. And there was much weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth and rasping of rat-tail files in the hall of the Juniors. ll-K 161 Now, after much rowing and exer- tion, they of the tribe of the Sopho- mores began to hunger and thirst; And they would fain have filled themselves with the goo which they had strewn upon the floor of the hall of the Juniors ; So after much counsel they pulled ashore, and scoured the country round about for loaves and fishes and odor- iferous hen fruit. Now, when the Juniors heard that their chief was captured they set out in immediate pursuit accompanied by certain strong men of the tribe known as Freshmen; And it came to pass that they came upon the Sophomores as they were preparing their evening meal. And they fell on them and smote hip and thigh and overturned their boats. But three of the tribe of the Sopho- mores succeeded in escaping with one boat; And, behold! the boat with which they eocaped had the chief of the Juniors in the bottom of it, bound hand and foot. And when the chief of the Juniors saw these things he was very wroth, insomuch that he tore at his bonds and swore a large, deep-blue oath about the size of a man ' s head ; And when the Sophomores heard this they trembled, And they were sore afraid lest the Juniors and Freshmen should come upon them and fall on them and flat- ten them out and send them even unto their homes packed in ice, which is after the fashion of that people. And as darkness fell upon the land they spake unto the chief of the Juniors, saying : ' ' Go to ! You are a man of influence among your people. Guarantee that we may get home alive and we are agreed to get you back in time for the prom in safety. And the chief of the Juniors ans- wered as one having authority, say- ing: Even so. And the Sophomores turned the the boat about and rowed with exceeding great haste until they once more entered the land in the region of Lawrence. And the chief of the Juniors went up into the hall where the Juniors were assembled for the prom, And he went and stood in their midst and said: Peace be unto you. Now, when the Juniors saw their chief in their midst they were re- joiced exceeding much ; And they gathered round and lifted up their voices to an elevation of about fourteen thousand feet above the level of the sea and made a joyful noise. And it was so. 162 My Landscape I have seen the painted landscapes That master hands have made, The glorious autumn woodland, The summer ' s light and shade; To me they all are beautiful, But none delights my eyes As the morning view from Oread When the mists begin to rise. There toward the northern river Appears a wall of blue, So firm it stands, so strong it towers Could army e ' er break through? But see! each soldier of the sun His master ' s bidding tries; The battle ' s brief and vict ' ry ' s won, When the mists begin to rise. Eastward, the mist-filled valley, A broad, blue, tideless sea, Its islands scattered far and near, Xo calmer scene could be. I w?it and watch a moment; They grow before my eyes And quickly melt together, When the mists begin to rise. The sea rolls on to meet the sun, Swift breaks the solid wall, The hazy hills step boldly forth; There ' s glory over all. You may praise your canvas landscapes, Green fields and sunset skies, But let me stand on Oread, When the mists begin to rise. Mary Florence Forest FROM BLACKMAR ' S LIFE OF ROBINSON. CHARLES ROBINSON OF KANSAS. BY WILLIAM HERBERT CARRUTH. When the great ice-floes from the pole moved down To plow and harrow the mid-continent. Upon them rode the granite masses rent In passing from the mountains gray and brown Of the still, frozen North. Men see them crown The midland knolls, their errant forces spent, In splendid isolation eloquent, Seeming at times to smile, at times to frown. Of such stern substance was our Robinson. He rode the human drift, yet steered no less, That blest our West with men of Mayflow er stock ; Conscious of strength he loved to stand alone, Steadfast and cool amid the storm and stress, On Kansas plains a piece of Plymouth Rock. Mrs. Robinson. Lawrence. ' Mid strife tumult and danger And half a nation ' s scorn, Pride of our northland freemen , O Lawrence, thou wert born! We little realize as we look down from Mt. Oread upon the town of Lawrence now grown up with shade trees and surrounded by green, rolling fields, that this is the place where Kansas made her stand for freedom, and that this fair country was once the scene of conflict. The beauty of the site of Lawrence was recognized by Governor Robinson when he passed through in ' 49, and in ' 54, when the New England Emigrant Aid Society was sending forth a party of thirty settlers to Kansas he recommended it to them most strongly. In June of that year he and Chas. Brans- comb were sent in ad- vance to se - lect the town site,andjuly 29th the rest of the party came and pitched their tents upon the north slope of Mt. Oread, the hill on which the University now stands. Mt. Oread was so called after the Mt. Oread School in Massachusetts, owne d by Mr. Eli Thayer, one of the prime movers in the Aid Company. The present town-site was selected by the party, and other settlers joined them. The name of Lawrence was given to the town in honor of Amos A. Lawrence, a wealthy and influential member of the New England Company. The place was dubbed Y nkeetown by the Miesourians and was always hated by them. In the spring election, held March 30, 1855, for the Legislative Assembly, Missouri sent in an army of about 1,000 voters and overran the polls, electing their own men to represent Kansas in the Legislature and to form the code of laws. The people of Lawrence repudiated the bogus legisla- ture, and a conflict with the Missourians was at once begun. Preparations for defense were made, but a treaty of peace was arranged before there were any engagements. In 1856 the charge of treason was brought against many of the citizens, 166 among them Robinson, Lane. Wood, Deitzler, and Jenkins. Then the town was invaded by a mob under Sheriff Jones, and the Free-State Hotel and printing offices were burned. The other houses were robbed, and the loss to Lawrence was about 8200,000. The East was watching with intense interest the struggle in Kansas, and money and settlers poured in. Lawrence was recognized as the center of the free-state operations. The policy of the free-state men was to avoid if possible direct conflict, but to hold the ground until the preponderance of free-state immi- gration should settle the point at issue. By 1858 this object had been gained, and the free-state people had entire possession of Kansas. Kansas was ad- mitted into the Union January 29, 1 86 1, and Chas. Robinson, of Law- rence, was ejected first Governor. Lawrence sent her full share of soldiers to the war, and the town was left almost unguarded. In August, 1863, Quantrell assembled a band of about three hundred men in Colum- bus, Mo., and marched with them to Lawrence by way of Franklin, a rebel stronghold, four miles southeast of town. They took Lawrence completely by surprise. Xo time was given for escape. The arms were all collected at the arm- ory, which was in pos- session of the raiders. Qua ntrell had given his men ord- ers to kill every man and burn ev- e r y house. TheEldridge House was burned first and then the whole town was burned and the inhabitants shot down. One hundred and fifty men were left deed; only thirty wounded, for Ouantrell ' s men shot to kill. The raiders left town by way of Blanton ' s Bridge and escaped, although pursued by Lane. Most of the dead were buried in the old cemetery west of town. In 1895 a monument was erected by the citizens of Larwence in memory of the men who fell. Lawrence could never have recovered from her loss if ready aid had not come from the East. Two-thirds of all the people had been left homeless, and the property loss was Si. 500,000. Roused to the need of defense in the future, the citizens threw up earthworks and built a stockade on the point of the hill southeast of the L ' niversity and planted cannon there. Block-houses were built, and the town was guarded constantly. In October, 1864, came the report of Price ' s intended invasion, and all prep- arations were made for defense. Fortunately, Price was routed near Kansas City, and Lawrence was saved from an attack. This ended the active partici- pation in the war. The God-Slayer. The savage stopped on the desert sand, Where his blistered feet on the sage-brush trod, And he turned and lifted a threatening hand In the face of his awful God. His shadow waved in the furnace air; His eyes were cut by the blinding glare. The sun ' s hot rays like e, hammer beat, While the far hills danced in the shimmering heat That smote him like a rod, Till wild rebellion seized his soul, And he turned to strive with God. He fitted his arrow without a word, And long he aimed at the cruel sun, Then loosed the shaft and the bowstring whirred, And the awful deed was done. The arrow sped to its shining mark A flash, a roar, and all was dark; And the gloom that over the mountain stole Fell thick and black on his savage soul. His heart grew numb with a frantic dread, As he crept through the dark to his home again, That his brothers and friends might strike him dead Who had brought such a curse to his fellow men. When the waning day was nearly o ' er He groped his way to the wigwam door, But men, thru awe, to him were kind Whom the God chastised by striking blind. C. L. Ed son. 108 A plunder ' s Iiament. ' T vas in September of the glorious year ' 03 When I came on the hill, a Freshman, Full of life ' s joy and with the firm resolve To make my mark here in this lofty vane And to bear back to my devoted friends Wisdom and grace embodied in myself. My start was good. I went upon the hill With full three studies, gym, and hygiene. And all the energy of healthy youth To urge me on my way. My chapel attendance Could not have been more regular. I sat And saw my profs gazing with kindly eye Upon my modest self, encumbered then with books And all the external signs of inward knowledge. But soon I found that by judicious choice of friends I, too, could shine forth with refulgent light, And set for other Freshmen c.n example Of pleasant living and the pursuit of happiness. My classes failed to have the all-absorbing interest That once had brought me to them prompt and bright. And a feeling of lassitude, with the conventional sore eyes, Xot infrequently caused the preceptor to make moan About my absence. When I did appear bright and smiling In my appointed classes, the teacher in a voice of thunder, Would take away my calmness by rr.sh questioning. On such occasions I meekly and ingloriously flunked. So time went on and I kept up my round of pleasure. Eventually quiz week came. I thought the Inquisition had been abandoned. But that was my mistake, as were perhaps some other Of the frantic efforts produced by the thought -masses of my brain. The week was one of horror. On every side new phantoms would spring up, And I, amid the throng of questions pressed upon me By blood-thirsty instructors, was reduced to a mere shade Of what was once a healthy boy with human tendencies. With aching brow and numbed perceptions then I waited Until the crash came. Then I knew no more; But. crushed and shattered, to my room I bore Three orange-reddish cards. Ghastly! And I so young! Amid the wrecks of vanished hopes alone I stand; Xone to support me and no hope for the future. If I but had a chance to stand again unchallenged Among the ranks of Freshmen, men, and maidens A more ascetic devotee before the shrine of knowledge Could not be found in all of Fraser Hall. E. .V 169 The Class. Pay attention to roll-call, gentlemen. (Hugo calls the roll.) Ealdry, Clark, Diesem, - , Seamans. Gentlemen, I was quite disappointed to note that you didn ' t do very well in the quiz yesterday, and since so few of you seem to understand the subject I think we had better have another test over the same ground to-day; but before we begin I want to spend a few moments in reading a letter which I have just received from the Westinghouse people. These people, as you know, employ hundreds of college men each year. You remember . What is it, Mr. Bardsley? Bardsley: Before you take up this matter I ' d like to ask you when you ' re going to explain that integration, like you said you would? Seems to me like we aren ' t getting anything at all out of this subject. For my part, I ' m getting tired of the whole business. Hugo: I see. What seems to be your trouble, Bardsley? Bardsley: I don ' t know enough about it to tell, hardly. Hugo: I see. Are there any other gentlemen in the class who feel that they would like to have me go over the matter again? (Everyone ' s hand goes up.) Mr. Tucker, you seem anxious to say something; what is it? Tucker: I simply wanted to say that I was never any other way except all ' balled ' up on the matter. Hugo: Well, gentlemen, I think perhaps we had better run through the thing once again, and if you will excuse me for a moment I will get some chalk. (Hugo steps out to get his note-books.) Gentlemen, there are a couple of mat- ters which I would like to discuss with you for a moment before we take up Mr. Bardsley ' s question. First, I want to ask as a favor that each one of you give me his reason for choosing the engineering profession. Please don ' t regard this lightly, for I am serious in the matter. Doubtless some of you would like more time to think it over, but do the best you can anyway. Mr. Bardsley, suppose you begin by telling us why you chose the mechanical course? Bardsley: D - if I know, Professor. Hugo: Mr. Williams, see if you can ' t do a little better for the electricals. Williams: Well, I always was interested in electrical work I got hold of ' The Life of Edison ' when a child and thought that I too well, I had always worked with tools and on the railroad and my high school teacher he knew I was a tinker, and he told me what a great and wonderful course in electricity 170 they had at K. U. under Prof. Blake, and well, that ' s all I know about it, I guess. Hugo: Very good, Mr. Williams. Now, Mr. Stroup, ho v about the civils? Stroup : ' ' Well, let ' s see. Oh, yes ! I decided to take civil because I thought that a man of superior ability would be recognized quicker in that field than in any other. Hugo: I have a little pamphlet here from the New York Central Railroad, which I would like to read, but before beginning I wish to speak of a cert- in moral question. For some time I have been considering the advisability of in- augurat ing the honor system in our tests. Now, when we have a test, how many of you would like to have me write the questions on the board and then withdraw from the room (Flint ' s hand goes up), leaving you gentlemen under solemn oath not to cheat (Flint ' s hand drops), nor help anyone else to cheat? What is the trouble, Mr. Flint? Flint: I ' d just as soon promise not to cheat myself, but I hate to agree not to help others. (Class groans.) Hugo: Well, gentlemen, since you are not of a unit on this question we had better abandon the idea. To-morrow bring your catechisms, and we will discuss the Ball engines; but before going I want to say that I received a letter from the Baldwin Locomotive Works saying that they could use another batch of our graduates next June in their smoke-dispensing department and ' (whistle blows for chapel) I don ' t see where the hour has gone, but that ' s all we can do to-dav. Extract from a Chapel Talk. It gives me great pleasure to look into your bright faces. I realize that I am standing before the cream and flower of Kansas. It reminds me of the time when I was young and went to this school. However, many things are different now. Then a boy was willing to come here and spend five long, weary years, studying early and late, burning midnight oil to get his A.M. The girls were content to study four years to get an A.B. Now all is changed. The boy comes here, studies early, calls late, and burns her landlady ' s gas for four years to get A.B. a bride. The girl spends four years of his money to satisfy her endeavor to get A.M. a man. Yes. truly this an age of specialization. When I was in school Latin, Greek, and mathematics were considered standard. Now you all take sociology, sociological astronomy, and some even get the very advanced degree of Do- mestic Relations. I am also told that a new, very popular, very crowded depart- ment caseology has been added to the course. Young ladies and gentlemen, I wish you all success in your school work. IF. H. Liters. i i Hly Pictures. Oh, I ' ll be a painter! my canvas sh Jl glow With the blue of the hills faraway, With the gentle green of the vale below, And the crimson of lingering day; And the landscape my brush shall vainly dare, In perfect beauty to keep, Is the view from the height in the springtime fair, Ere night lulls the world to sleep. When this swift-flying year brings June, ah, me! A Senior no longer, I ' ll roam In exile afar; I may ne ' er again see The pictures of my college home; And so I ' m painting each living line In colors fadeless and true; On memory ' s walls they shall ever shine, The days of my youth renew. On Oread ' s height let me silent wait For the sun as he comes o ' er the sea Of the restless mist; in regal state O ' er the billowy flood rides he; Then wings to my brush my rapture gives, Forgotten are sorrow and strife, And the picture that bright in my memory lives Tells the gladness and glory of life. The tranquil glen where the sunbeams rest In beauty every hour Let me paint with tints the loveliest E ' er known to artist ' s power. When the pines sing low to the listening clouds; When the slope is decked in green; When the violets cluster in timid crowds, Can there be a fairer scene? And let me seek when the day is done The north height ' s lonely stair, Watch the village lamps die one by one, And then in the moon-lit air Count the stars whose light doth never cease, Trace the river ' s silvery gleam Lo ! there is my vision of truth and peace, Eternal, unchanging, supreme. 172 But my dearest, my priceliest paintings live In the treasure room of my heart, And unto me faith and courage they give : Of my life they are ever a part ; With me they sing in my gladsome day; They comfort when care attends; My portraits of those I shall love alway My teachers, my comrades, my friends. Yes, these are my pictures, these are my own. Let the years bring joy or pain, I shall sit a queen on memory ' s throne And summon my picture-train; They shall bring me the hopes of my happy youth My sorrow and doubting shall cease; They shall sing of friendship, and love, and truth, And my heart shall know lasting peace. Mary Florence Forest. K. U. Freaks. The balance-wheel of K. U. society is formed of her Freaks. Such a one is the girl from Boston, who dwells among us like a timid lamb among wolves. Re- ceiving an earnest petition for her company from a bold youth, she replied that she must know the ancestry of her escort before accepting. The ardent suitor wrote horr.e to Garndpa Rawheighte for his pedigree. A postal came next week saying that the herd was mostly shorthorn. Sad to relate, the maid of the Orient was unfamiliar with that family name, but taking it on faith she danced until 3 with young Raxvheighte. The wise youth from Baker is another Freak. Hang it, says Longprayer. Ye boys tried a whole year for a charter into the most pious-sounding fraternity, the Pi Phis, and never eve.n got an answer to our application. The most spectacular of Freaks is the new Pi of. from Harvard or Yale, for h;s first season among the Co-eds. Unused to the midst of the whirl of feminine charms he keeps himself together with great difficulty. Each new prairie rose seems lovelier than than the last. It ' s a cab to this and a walk to that ; sun, moonlight and mud ; fat and slim, all caught in the twistei and nothing left but twisted canes, and flying glasess. patent leather and green bags. Hearts long locked in the icy throes of Eastern Philosophy and Mathematics break forth in this sudden melting breeze. Melancholia, rheumatism and ague soon bring these broken up geniuses under the Dr. ' s care. Little wonder that our old Profs, are such Rocks of Gibralter while so many must leave us when the June bugs come. DEAN was sitting in his office alone and was looking rather worried. I don ' t see what is keeping her, he grumbled, gently; she never was so late as this before. She knows the whole new Freshman Class will be irrupting in here to-morrow, and I must get this thing over to-night. Mephistala thinks that because she has officiated at the christening of thirty-odd classes she is as necessary to the institution as the Uni- versity yell. He looked at his watch again, and then turned to examine a new automatic drop-ten-dollars-in-the-slot registering machine that the Engineering school had just patented. If it were not for the four-study people and those that want to take seven courses under Dr. Dunlap it would do; but it will hitch at them every time. At this moment he looked up and saw Mephistala. He rose to receive her for all fairies require a great deal of deference, even from a Dean. From force of habit he began in the official speech of welcome, but he interrupted himself at once and stared not the official ' You-are-mistaking-your-relation-to-the-insti- tution ' stare, but a plain, every-day, ' What-on-earth-is-happening? ' stare. In- stead of merely the gauzy majesty of Mephistala, to which he was well accus- tomed, he saw dozens of fairies dozens ! He could not count them, of course, for no one can ever count fairies. When you look at one you can ' t be sure whether she is one or five. They were all kinds. They looked like brownies and bogies and elves and corbies and plain pixies. But any discerning person could tell at a glance that they were all real fairies and important ones. The Dean is a very subtle-minded man, and he thought to himself: If you were as large object- ively as you are subjectively, there wouldn ' t be room for you in the office. But they were waiting for him to do something, so he said to Mephistala: These are friends of yours? No, said Mephistala, importantly, this is a syndicate. Yes, said all the rest, importantly, we are a syndicate. Oh, said the Dean and if he hadn ' t been a Dean he would have looked bewildered I am very glad to meet you. I never saw a whole syndicate be- fore. If this were Friday I am sure the chapel committee would be very glad to have your president - . You don ' t understand, interrupted Mephistala. This is a christening- gift syndicate. We came to endow the incoming class. Can we do business with you? Oh, said the Dean, you have formed a syndicate? Yes; we have pooled our interests. Formerly each of us carried a varied line of gifts, but now we travel together, and each one carries his specialty. In this way we are able to offer you better goods and greater variety. Are you ready for us? Formerly Mephistala had been very sociable and affable, and used to sit 174 on the Dean ' s desk and chat with him and punch holes in his blotting-pad with her wand, but to-night she was showing off a little, and so was very business-like. Certainly, said the Dean, let us go to work at once. Won ' t you, ah have seats? He said that a little uncertainly, for he saw difficulties. But they said thank you very politely, and immediately swarmed up on the desk and sat in a row on the upper edge. Xow, said a rotund kobold, hitching himself along and then drawing up his feet so he could rest his chin on his knees, we ' re ready. Do you want to take us in order of importance, or how? Oh, any way, said the Dean, diplomatically. What do you carry? Piety, said the kobold, shaking his wallet. My stock is a little low, because we have been to all the other schools in the State first ; but still I have a fine section here more than the State institutions usually ask for. Oh, yes, said the Dean, dubiously. We want some piety but still we have had about as much trouble with the police as we can stand, for a year or two. Give us a smaller piece. I ' ll do no such thing! said the kobold. It is the function of a western school to be pious. Six eastern magazines are going to send a man out here next year to investigate your religious condition and write it up. And where will you be then? All right, said the Dean, resignedly. What have you? turning to the next. I have Sense of Humor, she s?id, producing a very large package. Oh, I don ' t know about that, said the Dean. Think of the Senior play, and the back row in the gallery. We could stand one class without much sense of humor. But think of the chapel-talks, retorted the fairy. I ' d like to know who is going to laugh. Oh, that ' s so, interrupted the Dean; and we are going to have visits from several college presidents next year. I ' ll take it. Have you any more? Xo more of the western variety. ' ' Well, who is next ? ' ' I am, said a wee corbie, with an immense pack on his beck. It is per- fectly absurd to ignore me so long. And in elbowing himself forward to the edge of the desk he slid off and lighted on a stack of enrollment cards below. He had a strenuous, over-worked look, and he stood up on the enrollment cards with an oratorical air. I wish to present the class with College Spirit, he said. Thank you very much. said the Dean. But the fairy seemed to wish to make a speech. You cannot have too much college spirit. he began. Oh. yes you can, interrupted the Dean. I beg your pardon. said the fairy, stiffly; you cannot. 7 know. Now, I have two kinds: The automatic and periodical, and the irregular and sponta- neous. The first will effervesce regularly every Friday morning and on such stated occasions as you may arrange at the first of the year. The other is always on tap. Which do you advise? asked the Dean. Half-and-half is a good mixture. ' Make it half-and-three-quarters, said a fairy, seated just above. I need that in my business. What are you ? ' ' ' I am accessory to the Athletic Board, he said, puffiing himself out con- sequentially. That is We are all athletic bored. grumbled the imp beside him. - that is. went on the other, with great dignity, I wish to present you with Athletics! What kind? asked the Dean. The cleanest kind, of course. Now, with this article, he went on, setting his pack down, I shall furnish for each student a mental imprint of the Chicago rules and an ungovernable impulse to attend all games. Can ' t you guarantee a full athletic squad, too? No, the Athletic Board alone can do that, said he, solemnly, with a little aid from Providence. But with enough College Spirit you are quite safe. It is very true, I suppose, said a sylph, floating gracefully forward. Al- low me to endow the class with the graces of Music, Art, and Poetry. Now, that is sweet of you, said the Dean. I am not so sure about the poetry the English department sees to that, you know. But let me assure you, said the sylph, earnestly, there are at least three original university songs in this package besides five hundred limericks and seven hundred and fifty nine parodies of Kipling. I ' ll throw in some histrionic talent, too. It is a great aid in recitation. A thousand thanks, said the Dean, bowing gracefully. My turn next, demanded a mere cadaver of a fairy. I have the Social Instincts. We can worry along without an overplus of that. Remember there is only one Friday night a week. But the all-round man . There, that will do. We are not editing a volume of college stories; we ' re talking business. Now, if you ' ll agree to distribute that equally I ' ll take all you have ; but if you make one-third of the class social pikers and freaks and another third socio-maniacs, I ' ll flunk you out of business. Very well, sir, said the fairy, humbly, and he went over and sank down meekly on a pile of red grade cards. Next, said the Dean. ' ' I represent High Ideals, said an obese little pixie, dropping down before him. Oh, you do, eh? What kind? I don ' t know exactly, he said, opening his bag and shaking it up to see what was at the bottom. We furnish a few ideals ourselves, you know there is the Faculty, past and present, you understand. Yes, said the pixie, gently, there is the Faculty. And there is the History of Kansas. Yes, said the pixie, politely, there is the history of Kansas. And there are the Institutions of Learning from Which We Came. We speak of them occasionally. Yes, said the pixie, sadly, closing his bag and preparing to roll way. But we shall be very glad to have few new ones, said the De n, courte- ously. ' ' We like to be progressive. I believe that is all, he went on. You will see that they have the cardinal virtues, of course. We have them equipped spiritually, socially, ??sthetically, - . Would you like any Brains? interrupted Mephistala, timidly. Oh, said the Dean, with a start, we have only a little left, unfortunately. It takes so much to go around. But we have a good deal of Diligence and Power of Application that is not so much in demand. And then we have some Ability to Bluff and some Tendency to Graft. If a student hasn ' t much Brains he has to have these. I suppose I ' ll have to take them, murmured the Dean. Oh, they produce a good substitute. You can hardly tell it from the student with Brains. Altogether, I assure you this is all around the best equipped class we have ever christened. And now, she said, as they all scuttled down from the desk, If you will excuse us we will just give the University yell, and say good-bye for another year. Good-bye, said the Dean. He felt quite buoyant as he closed his desk. Phnto ' .by Squires. rj-K I 77 The University of Kansas News-Bulletin Vol. V. No. 6. Lawrence, Kansas. June 1st. 1904.

Hegler, Carpenter, Metcalf and Rose has been fur- nishing excellent music. The rendition of I need thee every hour, stay thou near by, is especially fine, and their interpretation of Abide with me, is very effective. It is to be regretted that the organization has no dates open for the general pub- lic. A New Book. The Oread Publishing Co. have an- nounced the completion of A Manual on Class Spirit, by Mr. Ora Clark. Mr. Clark who is ably assisted in his task by Messrs. Earl Nelson and W. J. Leighty, is President of the Pikers Club and is a recognized au- thority on the subject of Class Spirit. A New Coach. At their last meeting, the Board of Regents authorized the employment of a new Coach to train the Chancellor and Pro- fessor Higgins to keep together in leading the chapel singing. This is a rational pro- cedure and one that will be greatly appre- ciated by the student body. We need more team work and less of Punch and Judy pantomime. We think we will soon have our music on the proper basis. Pi Phi ' s in a New Role. It has been announced that the firm Rus- sell-Sparks Co. has leased its Lawrence business to the local Chapter of Pi Beta Phi, who will continue the work under the name of the old firm. Ten Nights in a Bar Room. It has been definitely announced that the next play to be given under the auspices of the Dramatic Club will be Ten Nights in a Bar Room as presented by the local Chap- ter of Theta Nu Epsilon. This organiza- tion is neither without experience nor ability and the public has been delighted more than once by its impromptu exhibi- tions. We are very glad it has decided to affiliate with the Dramatic Club and pre- dict a decided hit for its latest venture. Senior Piker Club. A bulletin requesting seniors to try for parts in the Senior Play last month brought about a meeting of the Senior Pikers to ef- fect a permanent organization. The first meeting was called in Room 14, but finding this room inadequate for the assemblage the crowd adjourned to Chapel where more spacious quarters were secured. The fol- lowing officers were then elected: President, Ora Clark. Vice-President, Arthur Basye. Secretary and Treasurer, Inez Plumb. Sergeant-at-Arms, Dean Rose. The new society is closely affiliated with the Knocker ' s Club, and both promise soon to be the most flourishing organizations in the University. The following have signified their inten- tion of entering courses in Domestic Science: Ethel Muiphy, Ella Nye, Edith Knight, Vera Hull, Edna Holsinger, Frances Brewster, Grace Smith, Alma Leidigh. The following men will study Life In- surance next year: Roy Filkin, Will West, Harry Bedell, Dan Anderson, J. E. Craw- ford, S. E. Bartlett, Harry Goodrich, How- ard Sawyer. I 7 8 There ' s a girl called Florence Hedger, Who keeps a funny date-ledger. She mixed entries once, And felt like a dunce. But her callers did leniently jedge her. A sweet Senior lassie. Miss Wood, Did blush just as pink as she could. When in class one day Livers showed her the way To breathe through her nose as she should. There is a law professor called Wood, Who looks very youthful and good. Asked a maiden sincere: ' You ' re a Freshman here? Let me teach you to act as you should.

There ' s a man with a high tenor voice, Who admires a maiden named Loice. Tho ' her tresses are red, I have heard it said She ' s the girl of Burress ' s choice. There was a young man named Flinch, Who thought engineering a cinch; He flunked out at K. U., But went on to Purdue, Where of brains a man needs but a pinch. There is a man named Marvin C., A mighty newspaper man is he ; And a ' pretty Pi Phi He is ever Xye ; Just watch and you surely will see. A fair Senior maid, Stella Olcott, Her classes would not at all cut; Her lessons she knew Like a book through and through, For a real-for-sure gun was Olcott. Once a prof blew out west in a gale, With a head twice the size of a pail; He thought he was wise. But they opened his eyes. And now he ' s gone back to dear Yale. 179 COURT REPORTER. DOCKET.

Thursday, September 6, 1900. Here I am with blis- tered feet and my pockets full of laundry cards. I haven ' t been up to the University yet. I ' ve put in all my time looking for a room. Rooms are terribly high here; most of them want $10 per month and furnish your own soap. I may look easy, but I ' m not. September 7. Well, I ' m a real student of the Kansas State University now. I took my high school diploma up yesterday and showed it to the Registrar. He seemed to be impressed, for after seeing it he only conditioned me in chemistry, botany, zoology, Latin, English, and mathematics. From reading the catalogue, I was afraid he ' d hold me for free-hand drawing. I guess I ' m not so green, if I do come from Cold water. September 10. I went up to have Miss Oliver sign my card for Latin to-day, but I couldn ' t find her. A fellow named Walker wanted to sign it, but I wouldn ' t let him. I ' m up to these college pranks, and he couldn ' t work himself off for the Latin prof, on me, if he did have a little white mustache. September 18. It ' s been raining now for three days, and I ' m lonesome Yesterday I went up to algebra, and left my umbrella and rubbers in the hall; some one took them by mistake, I guess. They ' ll probably return them to- morrow. September 19. I guess some one actually stole my umbrella and rubbers; they were not returned, so I reported the loss at once to the Chancellor. It ' s awful to think of a fellow-being having such a seared and deadened conscience as to take a man ' s rubbers or umbrella. September 29. This has been a terribly exciting day. We held our first class-meeting this morning, and the Sophs tried to break it up. If Prof. Haworth hadn ' t stopped the fight there wouldn ' t have been enough Sophs left to deliver a monologue. We elected class officers, but I ' ve forgotten their names. We also adopted a class yell, which is grand. November 13. Its only 38 days now till I go home for vacation. Just think five weeks from next Thursday afternoon at 3 127 I leave this town, and I won ' t come back for 16 days. November 20. I ' m going to a Y. M.-Y. W. reception next week. I haven ' t been out any before, but I ' m going to take in a few things of this sort from now on. A man shouldn ' t neglect the social side of his life, you know. February 5, 1901. I ' m taking some good, strong courses in psychology, economics, and geology this term. Yesterday in economics Prof. Cone told us to read up on pr imitive uses of money in exchange. I found a book in the card- catalogue called The Origin of Species, which I thought would be fine, but it ' s a bum book. That fellow Darwin doesn ' t seem to have even a speaking ac- 182 quaintance with his subject, for he rambled around everywhere and didn ' t mention money once. The title fits that book about as well as jome of Christie ' s pictures do the books they illustrate. May i. Victory! Victory! The invincible, unconquered, and unconquer- able Class of ' 04 has again borne her unsullied banner on to victory. It was a ter- rible fight, and I have no hesitation in saying that I think our success is in large measure due to my own personal exertions. I guess those snobbish Sophs know how to eat humble pie now. I bet I never forget this memorable day. May 15. I think Godding has the best buggies in town. Agnes certainly is a peach. M ' -iy ,v . How time does fly! Here school is at an end; I must go back to the farm. Farewell, fair Agnes, farewell! Well, I ' ve got this to console me: plowing corn may not be a snap, but those new-fangled clothes of mine will cer- tainly create a sensation in Coldwater. .4 . Russell Killnore. 183 Engineer ' s gamble Song, [Sung at the banquets of the Kansas University Engineerirg Society. Air: Oh, didn ' t he ramble. There was a bold young engineer Who ' d just got out of school; He had a lot of great big books, And knew he was no fool. They set him marking station-pins, But he didn ' t know the code, So they ditched him twelve miles out of camp. And let him hunt the road. Oh, didn ' t he ramble He got a job as electric man, And thought he ' d make some tin. They sent him up a big tall pole To put a feeder in; He lost his grip and tumbled back, But grabbed the wires bright, Then hung on for a moment till The juice put out his light. Oh, didn ' t he ramble He then went down into the depths Where Satan runs the plant. He wanted to see the chief engineer, But Satan said, You can ' t; There are no engineers down here, For that could never be. Then he said, I guess I ' ll ramble on; This is no place for me. And on he rambled He then ascended up above, And knocked at the golden gate. The city it was full of Laws He saw he was too late. They wanted him to take his place Upon the royal throne, But he said, I guess I ' ll ramble on; I ' d rather be alone. And still he rambled. A ' . 1 1 . .1. Slang. I), ar Brother: Slang is cormption base of thought and word, That to be hated needs but to be heard, But heard too oft, familiar with its tone, We first endure, then praise, then use alone. Now, please don ' t dub my verses a sample of hot air, For it ' s straight goods I ' m giving you, old chap; I ' m on the square. This is no stunt to make you think that I know how to spiel . You ' re certain death on prigs, so I say only what I feel. f rst I hit the dusty pike, a few short months age , I was a crank ?nd hated slang, j very well you know; But when I s..ruck this blooming place, this college called K. U., I saw that I mu. : 1 oon bug up, and learn a thing or two. Now don ' s I beg, get on your dig and call me phased or daffy; I ' ve only loosened up and learned to deal out slang and taffy; I ' m a gun in English com p up here; but honest, on the side, You have to cut out all but slang, or the loonies let you slide. You never walk or run up here, instead you sprint or amble ; You study none, but always dig; you go out for a ramble With a girl you ' ve met, and soon folks say you ' re getting up a case, A id you have to hustle or some chump butts in with hotter pace. Every boy is a knocker or piker, you call him kid or old man ; Your profs you must work for a stand-in to a fare-you-w T ell, if you cr.n; Every girl is a peach or a hummer, with twinklers of brown or blire, And you must get on to the system and spoon as all others do. Yell, so long, Hal, I must move on and cram some for a quiz ; My pony ' s needing exercise; if you don ' t think it is You ' ve surely got another think a-coming up your way. Tell dad to cough up ten for me; I went clean strapped to day. Model Freshman Fellow. There is a young lady named Florence, Yhose verses come spouting in torrence.

TRANSLATED FROM A RECENTLY DISCOVERED MANUSCRIPT I. Come, Olus, bring hither my fiddle; The people are calling for me; They ' re crowding around in my garden, They ' re climbing the sycamore tree. II. Dear subjects, just look at them, Olus, How loyal they are to their king! I wonder if they ' d be so loyal If they knew that their lord couldn ' t sing. III. How dare I to tell them! I cannot; And yet, as you know, I ' d be bold To attempt to appease them this evening, Handicapped as I am by this cold. IV. This evening up here would be chilly Were it not for the fire so near. Say, Olus, please bring me a limburg And a quart of that Budweiser beer. V. Thank ' you. What? The crowd is still calling? Oh, well, if I must I can play; But just what I ' m puzzled deciding; Supposing that you name the lay? VI. Gee whiz ! What was that ? What an odor ! A hen ' s lay? No joking, my lad. It ' s such little shows of displeasure That make your poor Nero feel bad. VII. Well, what shall the lay be, you rascal? Olus, you ' re always so bright! Could anything be more appropriate A Hot Time in the Old Town To-night ' ? VIII. Rome ' s burning! Whoever would think it! The view is exceedingly fine. It ' s funny no one ever proposed it The scheme, as you know, is all mine. IX. And wasn ' t I smooth when I did it? I started it last Thursday noon. There ' s only one place where I bobbled - It were better without the full moon. 190 X. Now, it ' s Sunday ye shades of Augustus! The day that those Christians hold dear! They ought to have something to please them, To gladden their hearts and to cheer. XI. And so you may tell them, my Olus, That instead of sixteen, as before, To-night as gas-lights for my palace I ' ll consent to the burning but four XII. See her burn! What a glorious fire! It must rain or the wind quickly fall, Else we ' ll have to get aid her from Athens, Chicago, Hongkong, or St. Paul. XIII. As soon as the fire stops raging I ' ll have to begin to suppress Those unions of labor, obnoxious, That have caused us so much sore distress. XIV. The boldness, the daring presumption! To think when the fire was worst Those firemen struck! O the rascals! To think they would dare but they durst! XV. Feathered night settles down on the city I think it is feathered poor thing! She ' d best not get too near the fire She may scorch a tail or a wing. VXI. Odz bodkins! How sleepy I ' m getting! The town clock is just striking ten. Another day gone whither goes it? O whence did it come? how? and when? XVII. These are questions that you cannot answer With your cocoanut of a head, So don ' t bother yourself with their import, But hurry and make up my bed. XVIII. Be sure and have flapjacks for breakfast, And remember to turn out the cat. And shut off that Dago who ' s playing His organ by Hennessy ' s flat. P. O. P. [ OTE. The translator begs to announce that he is not accountable for any discrepancies, historical and otherwise, found in the manuscript ] There is a young man named Garrard; With girls his luck always is hard. Though he ogles them well, With a smile meant to tell, He always gets awfully jarred. There was a young man named Myron, With a head most as handsome as Byron; But oh, when he blushed His face was so flushed You ' d have thought he ' d been spreading fire on There is a man named Wilson, Who always talks his fill, son. He argues, debates, Speechifies, and orates, And has no peer on the hill, son. There once was a chap called Cowley, Who often was grouchy and growly. The girls he adored, But with boys he was bored, And always was sour and scowly. There ' s a Senior boy called Nutting; For a month every class he ' s been cutting. Should you wonder wherefore, Read this Annual some more, And you ' ll see where his time he was putting. There was a young fellow named Dusty, Whose words were bombastic and musty. His jaws were of steel, And by use of his spiel They soon grew to be very lusty. There is a chap called Winton, And him you ' ll find no lint on. With fair Miss Jean He ' s often seen. And his face has a rosy tint on. There was a young fellow named Pooler, Whom Weeks once considered a fooler, But his kick at K. C. Was pretty to see, And indeed no one could have been cooler. There is a good fellow Ashbaugh, Who has trouble in starting his jaw, But his classmates all say He can talk all the day When once he gets started, haw! haw! 192 Wouldn ' t You Like A picture of Dunlap in chapel? A job as official squelcher of the Freshies in the gallery? A paper on Pure Politics, or Practical Pulling of the Wires, by J. B. Wilson, Myron Humphrey, Dusty and the other boodlers? Unity, just one time among members of the big three the Chancellor, Higgins, and Skilton? AND WOULDN ' T IT BE NICE To see the T. N. E. ' s attend a missionary meeting in body? To have a deaf and dumb landlady? To hear just one entertaining, animated and interesting talk in chapel to relieve the monotony of perpetual sermons? To find a lot of money in your old clothes? AND IT WOULDN ' T BE A BAD IDEA To have Prof. Higgins ' Rock Chalk solos replaced by a real University yell. To get the Medics to kill those magnificent dogs that haunt the library. To hire Hercules or Mr. Jas. J. Jeffries for High Lord Official Opener of the Door to Fraser Hall. To teach Prof. Olin the proper way to button his collar. BUT WHAT EVERY K. U. STUDENT REALLY NEEDS IS A power of dissolving into thin air to escaped bill-collectors; A set of steel teeth to masticate club food ; A lot of very rich and exceedingly easy relatives ; And a great number of other needs could be named, but every human need dwindles into nothingness when compared to your need for a 1904 JAYHAWKER. There is a little buggy, And there is a, little man Who beams upon frat maidens As sweetly as he can. He has a little note-book Where he keeps a little list Of the parties he ' s attended, But not the ones he ' s missed ; For everything is little About this little frat This little Georgie Guernsey And you can bank on that.

Manitou, June 10, ' 03. DEAR JACK: Am here for the summer, pleasantly situated and hope to recruit my strength. Apparent- ly a nice place plenty of walks, drives, and in- vigorating air. Girls, too!--Miss Carson is simply charming, but very popular. Say, can ' t you arrange to give me a few weeks of your time later on? Big game in prospect. Your pal, HAROLD. Manitou; June 17. DEAR JACK: This is certainly a rich strike. I like this place better every day. People are ex- ceedingly affable and socialnot a snobbish boor in camp. As for Miss Carson--wel 1 , she ' s the most charming creature I ever met, and I ' m not given to extravagant use of the feminine superlative either. Only one drawback she ' s so deucedly popular I only get an occasional date. Really, Jack, you must leave off grinding and make me a visit. Come and meet my diva. Your old side kicker, -HAROLD. Manitou, June 24. DEAR JACK: I ' ve got a handicap on Miss C ' s ad- mirers. Marie and I walk and talk and sing together often. She ' s a great girl, Jack, and I want you to see her. Come up, if only for a day, and meet Marie--perhaps I may have a right to call her that in public soon. Yours for big game, HAROLD. Form Ko. 1555. THE WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH COMPANY.

JACKSON, Lawrence, Ks.: You need not come. Slight change in program. Leave this afternoon to enlist for the Philippines HAROLD. A Bad Day. The sun came up in the west that morning, and altho ' snow stood on the ground two feet deep and a blizzard swept over the hill, yet people wore Panama hats and tan Oxfords. It was aw- fully funny; I could hardly believe my eyes. Dusty Rhodes stood on the front steps of the main building smoking cigarettes and idling away his time. I paused to give him a match and then started on, but before I reached the door something hit me ; my feet flew up and my head went down, and I came to just in time to see Prof. Blackmar running at full spee d to get to class on time. I followed at a distance, and many were the remarkable things I was yet to see on this strange day. A bunch of pretty Thetas of the Novel class came walking down the hall smiling sweetly at Prof. Dunlap, but he cut them dead ; he seemed to be interested in boys only. As Prof. Templin came forth frcm his sanctum sanctorum some Freshman boys, who had flunked took ff their hats, and some of the more enthusiastic ones shouted, L n g nve P ro1 - Templin, the man who cheers up the unfortunate flunk! It was pathetic to see the look of love and gratitude that beamed forth from the great man ' s soulful eyes. Over in the corner lies. Cowdrick and Geo. Willis were entertaining a bevy of admiring gir ' s, but Geo. T. Guernsey, Jr., stood alone in de- fection. As chapel time approached, the Chancellor did not ap- pear to herd in the strays from the halls ; everybody went without an invitation. I followed the throng, hoping to find things as usual there anyway, but I was doomed to disappointment. Ida was in a Kappa line party, but Bennie seemed no longer to belong to that organization, and altho ' Ethel was there I did not see Roy. Dean Skilton played Bedelia with much feeling on the pipe-organ, and when Dr. Strong came in no one. applauded. It was hard to ull whether Prof. Blake had been eating Quaker Oats or not, but the smile that won ' t come off was quite becoming to his face. Prof. Higgins was gone, and Uncle Jimmy Green led singing without assistance from the Chancellor. When the person imported for the occa: ion began to speak along theological lines. Profs. Dunlap, Blake, and Green leaned forward in their chairs and at times they would applaud the preacher with much enthusiasm. After the speaker sat down Dr. Strong arose and announced another debate. Oratory is not dead, he said, and he was cheered to the echo. There could be no doubt that oratory and debate stood first on the students ' minds at Kansas. I stood it as long as I could and then took flight. To think that I was the only sane-minded person left was unbearable. I would jump into the river. My head ached terribly the next morning, but my room-mate was awfully good, and the nice cool cloths he applied made my head feel better. I ' ll never touch another drop, 195 A Timely Discovery. A surging multitude stood before the building. A word and the door would be torn from its hinges. Then Dr. Wilcox came, and, calmly lifting his majestic hand, he counseled patience. He had been to Greek symposium before, he said, and people had always got seats ; so, ladies and gentlemen, raise not such a tumult. Those within the hearing of his voice became calm, but far back in the crowd beyond the spell of his magic words a cry arose, To symposium! To sympo- sium! For a moment the crowd stood wavering; then, with an angry roar it swept en masse toward the door. After it was all over, among the heaps of torn and rended garments they found a Senior trampled nigh unto death. A leg was crushed. In haste he was hurried to the University Hospital. Dr. Hoxie felt his pulse; a look of doubt flitted across his face. No, learned doc- tors, he said, it cannot be. In his weakened condition anaesthetics will be his death, and without them the limb cannot be amputated. Despair settled on them all. Should a precious Senior be allowed to die ? Ten thousand times no! Eureka! Eureka ! cried his room-mate. I ' m wise! Cone! Cone! Ralph Waldo Cone! He alone can solve the problem and save a life. And Prof. Cone came and began a lecture on economics, and when our wounded Senior, who had had Economics I, Money and Banking, and Public Finance, heard that soothing voice he lapsed into a state of anaesthesia. ; ' Tis well, quoth the man with the saw. The most excruciating pain could not awaken him from his sweet slum- ber, and so saying he cut off his leg. 196 A Slight Mistake. The class was Advanced English Comp, The subject profound was slang; A Senior lassie had the floor, And her tones convincing rang: Why that word ' grafting ' is old and good; Its use can never harm me. American histories always speak Of grafting men into the army. O student of English, old and new, Your ignorance I regret ! You may be a Phi Beta Kappa, but You don ' t know everything yet. There is a good student named Livers, Whose ancestors must have been divers, For his thoughts are as deep As the sea, and as cheap They ' re to be had for the asking of Livers There is a bright lawyer called Sim, Whose figure is long, lank, and slin. He can talk and debate, So people all state Till there ' s nothing to do but hear him. There was a professor named BurdicJ (Now, this is not meant for a verdict i, In the town on the Kawr He knew all the Lawr, But bent pins he could not interdict. There ' s a Freshman up here, Ralphy O., Who thinks he does everything know, But he ' ll find, alas! Ere many months pass That he really is not the whole show. There is a young prof, Dr. Van, Who does all the stunts that he can After chapel each day Changes black coat for gray Imitating a sporty young man.

Oom Paul Creager, since he was elacted President of the University Press Club, has been seen with the ladies much more fre- quently than of yore. Athlete Hulbert still insists that anybody who has seen him scrap will not accuse him of being a coward and there are other things, too, that they wouldn ' t accuse him of when in action. Prof. Dunlap: Well, what other novel of Scott ' s ranks among the first five? Brock Goddard: Isn ' t Middlemarch con- sidered one of his best? Prof. Ashton, of Harvard, says he ' s going to have the Engineering course changed so that the boys will be given less chemistry and more mathematics. We ' d love to be on hand to see what our old K. U. product, Hamilton Perkins Cady, will do to Fai-ah Hahvahed when that move is commenced by the figure-slinger. Baldry is said to like sweet Pickles. Yes, we believe it. Dr. Tuthill also seems to have a fondness for the same variety. Joe Schlitz, Val Blatz, and Bud Weiser were among the out-of-town guests for the last T. N. E. party. It is reported that Myron Humphrey is seriously contemplating endowing the Uni- versity with a new gym from the profits of the ' 04 JAYHAWKER.

We had a little pony, Its name was Tacitus, And w r ords cannot tell fully The work it did for us.

For Arthur Tappan, Junior, For want of better steed, Had ridden poor old Tacitus Into a shade indeed. K. U. Primer No. 2. 1. HIS is the chapel exercise. Do you see the three men? One is playing the organ and two are waving their hands. Are they trying to frighten the Freshmen? No, they are tiying to sing. The organist is playing two-fourths time, the lean man is shouting three- fourths time, and the tall man is pounding four-fourths time. You must not inter- rupt them by singing, for they are having the times of their lives. Don ' t be scared. Put two fingers in your ears and hold your mouth wide open then it will not sound nearly so bad. II. Do you see the man with the jovial face ? He is not a preacher ; he is a teacher. His name is Templin. Can you tell why he is so happy? It is because he has just flunked a batch of students out of the Arts School. He will advise them to take Law next term. Freshmen, you must tip your hats to the good professor every time you meet him on the street, or you will be flunked, too. III. See the nine Sophomores. What are the y doing? They are wating trial in the police court. The judge with the beet-red face says they have been making violent and unseemly noises and disturbing the peace and quiet of the gentle town of Law-rence. The three hungry policemen standing by will swear to it. Will the judge turn them loose? Xo, he will fine them each five dollars and costs, for the policemen have not had a square meal in two months. If they were com- mon drunks without any money the judge would dismiss the case. Vale! The ' 04 JAYHAWKER marks a departure in many respects from the example set by annuals of previous years. It has been the purpose of the editors to make it more thoroughly representative of the University in its many phases than has ever been done before. If you approve of the change let your approval be known ; if you do not approve let your criticism be tempered with charity. The Annual Board takes advantage of this opportunity to thank the many willing workers who have helped make the ' 04 JAYHAWKER what it is. In par- ticular we wish to thank Prof. Griffith and the School of Fine Arts and Mr. F. W. Epps and the Engineers for their assistance in the matter of illustrations. The list of those who have assisted in this way is too long to give in full, but each and everyone who has contributed has earned the gratitude of the Class of ' 04. 4 And now, gentle reader, farewell.

BECAUSE: The Union Central is the great Life Insurance Company of the Middle West, which is growing with such wonderful rapidly. The Company waxes with its section. The Weekly Underwriter. BECAUSE: It is the most liberal to its Policy-holders, as it is NOW paying and WILL pay larger dividends than any other Company, thus making the cost of Insurance less, or add- ing more to the value of the Policy each year. BECAUSE: Its POLICY CONTRACTS are very liberal in CASH- LOAN, PAID-UP and EXTENDED INSURANCE values in case the Insured for any reason is unable to continue the Policy.
