Temporary insanity lead to his tragic death Urban was one of the best all-around young men that have ever entered the University. He was a splendid student, a coni enial fellow, and a remarkable athlete. In base ball he was a star; in foot-ball he played the important position of quarter-back two years and was awarded the honor of captain for next year; in babkn-ball. lacrosse, and track he was a so above the ordinary. By his death the University lost one of its highest types of men. i lln nDemoriam. LEO HENRY STUDT, ' lo, GLASCO, KAS Born August 17, 1885. Died January 11, 1908. Leo left the University for the holiday vacation, and early in January was taken suddenly ill with appendicitis, which caused his death January 11.

Far be it from the purpose of this humble volume to delve deeply into the ancient history of the Kansas University. The Board is much too busily engaged with the present and far too deeply concerned in the future to allow itself time for exhaustive reminiscence and comparison . However, when a recent arrival opened the family wallet and bought Enrollment Receipt No. 2000, it was impossible to keep from turning around for a swift backward glance. We felt, immediately, that we were entitled to a good healthy life-sized boast, and almost involuntarily began to trace the infant K. U. from the trying times of her babyhood to her present sturdy growth. Only a little over fifty-four years ago there was no such place as the City of Lawrence, Kansas. As a matter of fact, Kansas herself was not considered as being much of an asset to the Government of the United States. Her population consisted of a few scattered Indian tribes and two or three handfuls of Eastern adventurers and missionaries huddled around a few trading-posts and impoverished missions. As yet the idea of educational development was yet unborn in the minds of these hardy frontiersmen, whose main efforts were directed along the line of self-protection and the acquisition of wealth. In a short time, however, began a considerable emigration from the New England States. Lawrence was incorporated by a number of determined, ambitious, and enlightened men, who be- gan to take steps for the advancement of learning in the new territory. Amos A. Lawrence, one of the founders of the New England Emigrant Aid Society, started a definite movement by the donation of $12,696 as an endowment fund for a Free State College, which he suggested. This project, which failed of completion, no doubt sowed the seed which produced the present mag- nificent institution. In 1 86 1, when Kansas was admitted as a State, a provision was thoughtfully inserted into her constitution setting aside seventy-two sections of land for the support of a State University. The first Board of Regents was appointed March 2, 1864. In 1865 the City of Lawrence granted the ground on Mt. Oread for the site of the University, and by 1867 North College was completed and the school started. The first Faculty consisted of three members and the enrollment num- bered fifty-three students, all of whom were unprepared for a collegiate course of instruction. Thus, in a little over forty years have the people of Kansas produced the great center of learning and culture which we have attempted to set before you on these pages. The story of this development is both interesting and unusual, but the lack of time forbids us to relate it. The best suggestion to be made by us is that you compare the progress and future prospects of the Kansas University with those of the other great schools in the country. History is not nseded to define our present status in the educational world. ■ ' -■ fe THE BOARD OF REGENTS. Hon. W. Y. Morgan, Hutchinscn. Hon. C. S. Gleed, Topeka. Hon. a. C.

After thinking of the many weaiy hems this book has caused us to spend, we cannot help wondeiing whether it was not rather the irony of fate than the delightful dream of the work that led us to attempt to prepare the Jayhawker of 1908. Still theie is joy in hoping that within these coveis there may be found something that will bring a smile or a fond recollection to some, or possibly a diffeient jihtse of the Unive: sity and its life to otheis. If by chance you find fnythinj tkver herein, think of the Class of ' 08; and ss to the other kind, we beg your tender mercies. Remember, it is of you and your deeds that we have wiitten. ■1 . .i; The College. xf The College was the fiist school established in the Univeisity of Kanscs, end for many yeais was the only school. In this school the student finds an oppor- tunity to obtain a genercl education clong a variety of lines — no speci:il course in it being preset ibed. It is the couise v.hich is intended to lay the foundation for all other schools at the Univeisity, cs it adds polish to the young man or woman whose ultimate plans are to gain a professional education. In the College are found a divetsified class of students: some enteiinj it for the lofty purpose of acquiring a finished education ; some because they have heard that courses in Economics, Sociology, and Geology are easy picking ; others because they have no purpose other than to attend the University, and they just fall into the College; and still others who have tiied the Engineering School or School of Medicine and, having failed, they ate hunting a school where they will not have to work so hard ; and, last of all, there are those who wish to become peda- gogues and they seek the College. At Commencement times there are as large a variety of students graduated as there were who entered. Some become mer- chants after having taken Professor Boynton ' s couise in Business Management ; some, having taken up the courses in Philosophy, become agnostics and. hesitating before each step in life, they ask themselves the question, Why? and mat v el at the aesthetic view-points of everything in nature; others acquire the sleeping habit in Sociology, end go thru life with it. We might go on character izing the various cksses, but it suffices to say th?t within the College the student can gain nearly if not quite every kind of knowledge. F aser Hall was the original home of the College, and £S soon as the other schools can occupy buildings of their own, it will again be for the College alone. 4 Olin Templin, B©n, I BK.

As it is the custom among great personalities, who have really accomplished something in the world, to leave autobiographies, in order that future generations may know the whys and wherefores of their greatness, so it behooves the great Class of 1908 of the University of Kansas, in these its last days, to recount a few cf its many achievements; to reminisce, so to speak The arrival of ' 08 on the campus was proclaimed, according to custom, by the appearance of huge flaming posters, scattered broadcast, describing its vile characteristics and hideous appaarance as viewed from the Sophomore ' s standpoint Others of a more friendly mind have stated that its unusually up-to-date appearance at the time of its entrance marked it at once for future greatness. Like all great bodies, the Class of ' 08 was just a little slow in getting started, as shewn by the result of the first Class scrap. Eut, like all great bodies, after it did start, nothing was able to stop it. The Sophs of that first eventful year, after viewing with growing alarm the wonderfu development of the infant prodigy, refused to meet it in conflict on May ist, and were forthwith given an ovation in the form of a funeral ceremony, and the class of ' 07 was buried with military honors on the crest of Mount Oread. This unique and original affair caused the Chancellor to sit up and take notice. Consequently, on the following fall, he took ' 08 into his confidence, and in compliance with his wishes and their own good judgment, the class abolished class scraps forever, giving one of the greatest boosts to the reputation of the University which it has ever been the privilege of any c ' ass to give. And, according to its decree, the noise of battle shall never mere sound across the campus. After taking the role of peace-maker, that Sophomore Class turned its inventive genius I into social lines, and instituted the first Sophomore, which threatened to eclipse the time- honored Junior Prom in elegance and popularity. As Juniors of course they played their part with all the dignity befitting their achievements, and dedicated the new Gymnasium by the finest Prom that has ever graced the social calendar of old K. U. In this, the Senior year, when the mind turns from the more frivolous afi ' airs of student life, we see members of this class standing out as prominent figures in all phases of student activity. ' 08, besides dominating the School politics for the last two years, has had three editors o : the Kansan, two foot-ball captains, two track captains, and has taken a prominent part in all forms of athletics, debating, etc. All this, however, has been with a single aim in view. And if we have helped to make f this School better in any way, we have not lived in vain. We sincerely hope that succeeding classes may outstrip us as we believe that we have outstripped our predecessors, and make K. U. the best School in the country. The Land That God Forgot. A Song of the West. Oh, the land that God forgot, Where the sand and cactus ruled, Paradise of rattlesnakes, Bald and arid, brackish-pooled ; First the Conquistadors came Lusting after precious stones, And the fiery desert waste Whitened everywhere with bones; Then the Forty-niners passed With their oxen gaunt and thin, And they only knew the land As a place to perish in; P ' t at last the soul of men Understood what God had willed And perceived the land was there To be set abloom and tilled, And long ditches ribbed the sand With their rippling fluid bars And revived an ancient world Like the waterways of Mars, And the tender grass grew up And the sleek kine laid them dowii, And the freights toiled in and out Fat with wares from many a town. There the sunflowers golden-rayed And the blue alfalfa flowers Lured the labor of the bee Through the languid torrid hours, There the wheat grew tall and t ' . ' ight, And the ancient ocean bed Shot up leagues of tasseled com High above the farmer ' s head; Schools were builded, churches rose; Children to the clime were bom, And they loved and praised the lan( Once a hissing and a scorn. ihe land that God forgot, Barren with oblivion ' s curse? — But it hid a wealth like gold In a miser ' s wretched purse. The land that God forgot, To Apaches, cruel, wild, Abandoned, where the stern F ' ace of Nature never smiled? — Nay, to deem that God forgets Were but blasphemy and shame; He withheld the magic touch Till His sons desired the same. Harry H Fbm! George Miles March, A.H., La vrence, Kansas. K ; Y. M. C. A. Witty, fun-lovin , jovial, care-free — a good fellow is Rareback. ' He never cared anything about girls, either, until Well, a fellow has to commence sometime, and as George says that his final ami i ion is to settle down with a Mrs. Rareback to enjoy life, we ' ll forgive George is a Lawrence product and says that he hates to leave the place so badly that he will stay another year and learn to be an engineer. Rebecca Elizabeth Moody, A.B., Lawrence, Kas. KA0; Quill Club; Y. W. C. A.; Class Secre tary ' 04-05; Freshman Social Committee; Sopho- more Social and ' Sophomore Committee; Junior Farce; Senior Play Committee; Senior Play; Jayhawker Board. Rebecca is one of the youngest of our fair sex, and has proven to be one of the most popular — as clearly shown by the Senior vote. Always a strong girl in the Class, from making sandwiches for scrappers to being a representative on the Junior Line, she has shown herself the right kind. She has a case, but even when he was in school it was an ideal one, and not of the popular strolling variety. Edwin Clyde Morgan, A.B., Clay Center, Kas. I B0n; A ; French Play, ' 05; Glee Club, 06-07; Junior Farce; Vice-President Hospit 1 Ass ' n. Ed came to us a pretty boy, with his automo- bile cap and fancy necktie, and has won a place in the hearts of all who know him. As a ladies ' politician, Ed holds the record from the fall of ' 05, and the affections formed then were so varied that it has always lieen hard to tell where the bulk of them lay. Ed is going to be a doctor; and we are sure that, with his ways and happy expression he will make a successful one. Genevieve Clark, A.B., Lawrence, Kas. I Y. W. C. A.; Secretary Sophomore Class; (k ' rman Club; Penior Pliy. Clarkie gained popularity with her Class in the very early days, partly on account of her good-natured giggle and j)artly because she was always willing to help us out, no matter whether it was to provide sandwiches for the boys after a Class scrap, or to lie a candidate on a pink ticket. In her Sophomore year she develojjcd a severe case with a Senior and tivday she is wearing a diamond. Carl H. Young, A.B., Portland, Kas. 2AE; Y. M. C. A.; Scoop Club ; Good Govern- me nt Club ; Class Foot-Ball ; ' Varsity Track Team ' 05-06-07-08; holder K. U. Record in high jump; member Athletic Board 06-07; Junior Prom Committee; Kansan Board ' 05-06, Managing Editor ' 06, Editor-in-Chief ' 07 ; Editor-in-Chief Jayhawker ' 08. Caesar, Cap Young came to us from Sumner County, so it is needless to say he has taken no part whatever in University politics. He was a prominent ringleader of the first political deal ever pulled off by ' 08, and was one of the bosses of the last division of spoils of the Class. Hattie E. Steel, A.B., Beloit, Kas. Y. W. C. A. Her name fits her well. She has been one of the main stays of the high scholarship of our Class. Her greatest pleasure lies in answering those questions which have baffled all the other shining lights in the Class. S. K. Cooke, A.B., National Military Home, Kes. I A0; 0NE; Class Base-Ball ' 05-06; Good Government Club. The University has agreed so well with Ted that he has barely escaped being called Tubby. However, he gets about so lively that no one has had the heart to rename him. As soon as the A.B.s are handed out, he intends to look around for new worlds to conquer, and will probably try an Eastern school. Edith Alice Turner, A.B., Colony, Kas. Y. W. C. A.; Quill Club; Secretary Snow Literary Society ' 06; Girls ' Glee Club; Secretary Vesper Chorus. Four years in College have not changed her determination toj be a teacher — and yet, she doesn ' t look it. William Neal McLenox, A.B., Effingham, Kas. V. M. C. A.; Class Foot-Ball; Class Base- Ball; ' Varsity Base-Ball ' 09. Mac ' s ambition is to become a practical bus- iness man. He comes from Effingham, is no grafter, but otherwise should make a solid business man. Civil Service Commission take notice. Emil RiESEN, A.B., HiUsbo.o, Kzs. Y. M. C. A. Herr Riesen ist ein Deutscher. Coming to our institution only three years ago, Emil found the course of study so easy that he thought it best to finish in three years. Next year he will enter the Graduate School, and after that expects to teach the American youth his mother tongue. Ellen Ice, A.B., Lawrence, Kas, Ellen came prominently before the Class in our first election, when her political leanin ' s were strongly brought before us. She has never lost her early interest and is always there when any thing ' s doin ' . Sidney Milton, A.B., Lawrence, Kas. ' Varsity Foot- Ball ' 04-05-06-07. Sid may be aptly dubbed the Lord High Also- ran. Altho ' he never succeeded in getting on the winning side in politics, he won enough glory during his four years on the gridiron to satisfy the ambition of any ordinary man. Red is one of the most likable men m our Class. Milton B. Miller, A.B., Osage City, Kas. B0n; Junior Farce; Basket-Bali Tearn, ' 04- 05, ' 05-06, ' o6- ' o7, ' 07-08; Captain ' 05-06, ' 06 - 07 ; Track Team ' 06-07-08 ; Mile and Half - Mile Records; Athletic Board. Long, slim, Schlange has so many athletic honors after his name that there is scarcely room for anything else; but they are all well-deserved, for never a truer heart beat for old K. U. His love for the University is shown also by the fact that he will return next year to study Medicine. We can insure a strong finish in whatever he takes up. Maud Olive Rhodes, A.B., Dodge City, Kas. There came from the land where the short grass grows, In those good old days that everyone knows, A maiden who wore most wonderful clothes, And her name was Maud. She is noted for cases, with never a pause; At first she was all for the dear Alpha Taus, Now her butterfly fancy Phi-Del-(t)ity draws, And her name is Maud. Burton Peabody Sears, A.B., Lawrence, Kas. 2N; $BK; President Good Government Club; Bryan Prize Essay ' 07; Jayhawker Board. The next best thing to being wise is making people think you are. Burton was one of the surprises of ' 08. Coming to the University with that enthusiastic delegation from Lawrence, he first essayed to be a Mathematics gun, but two years of military life tired him, and he turned his attention to Economics and other light subjects. No one was surprised when he received a. seat among the elect of Phi Beta Kappa and every one was pleased, for Burton has not been a grind, but a thorough student and a jolly good fellow as well. The University cannot spare him yet, so he will return next year to be- come one of Uncle Jimmy ' s boys. Frank E. Parker, Kansas City, Mo. 2X; Y. M. C. A.; Track Team ' 05-06-07-08; Captain Team ' 07; Cheer Leader ' 06 to ' 08; Chairman Decoration Committee Junior Prom; Chairman Finance Committee Y. M. C. A.; Advisory Board; President K. C. Club; Man- ager Senior Play. In the race for the handsomest boy of the Senior Class, Frank made the best race of his col- lege life. The first three years of school Frank spent in hunting an easy School, finally landing in Green Hall. A model young man. Raymond E. Teall, A.B., No: ten, Kas. A2; Glee Club ' 06-07; Msnager Glee Club ' 07-08; Preside nt Sophomore Medics ' 07-08. Ray gave up grand ojiera for the pill-bag. Well known in Ottawa and Lawrence for his abundant hair the remnant of his operatic career Pauline Madden, A.B., Mound City, Kas. Allemani Pauline started in with the Class of 1905, and has rejected each Class in turn until ' 08 came along; she decided that we would fill the bill. In the meantime she has learned all about the Library, daily acquiring characteristics which make her at the present time Aunt Carrie ' s youngest and most promising under-study. Lyman V. Rutledge, A.B., Alva, Okla. Y. M. C. A. ; I he Pirates of Penzance; ' Oaill Club. Last summer Rut conceived the idea that he would enjoy running the Kansas City Star. However, his views didn ' t coincide with those of Bill Nelson, s i the paper is now trying to struggle along without him. We are very sorry that his ill-timed sickness prevented him from serving with us to produce this book. Clarence P. Holmes, A.B., Emporia, Kas. I A0. Price comes from the town made famous by William Allen White and the State Normal. He is neither a literary genius nor the model of a teacher, tho ' a gcxxJ fellow and liked by many of both sexes. ! William Jesse Miller, A.B., Osage City, Kes. B©n; Freshman Foot- Ball ' 04; ' Vaisity Foot- Ball ' 05-06-07; ' Vaisity Basket-Bail ' 04-05, ' 05-06, ' c6-o7, ' {7-08; ' Vaisity Track Team ' 05; Class Base-Ball ' 07; Social Committee ' 04 to ' 08; Junior I Prom Committee; b nior Pl.y; Senior Farce. Billy is an all-round athlete and a good fel- low. He has proven himself a star both in foot- ball and in basket-ball. His work on this year ' s basket-ball team was nothing less than phenom- enal. He has found time, too, to keep up with his studies and to mix in the social whirl. Billy has toyed a little with University politics, with more — or less — success. Martha Jane Norman, A.B., Kansas City, Mo. Y. W. C. A.; Junior Farce; S.nior Play. Jane is a native of Missouri, but she did her best to overcome this misfortune by coming to K. U. for her college education. We liked her when she came to us a timid Freshman with three yellow curls hanging down her back; we have taken great pains with her, and we are well pleased with the result of our labors. Her plans after graduation are suspiciously indefinite. Julian C sar Petit, A.B., Lawrence, Kcs. A2; nCDC ; X Y Z Debating Society. Julius Caesar claims to be a descendant of the famous Roman. He is a student of the first- class and will no doubt make a physician of fame when he finishes his course. Fred J. Cambern, A.B., Erie, Kas. 2N; Oread Club. .Since Hi landed at K. U. with his five sui.s and a dress-suit, he has been cutting a large swath in the social field. Lately, however, he has tired of the strenuous whirl, and now shows every sign of ma rinonial ambitions. ALove all this frivolity, however, he has shown great aptitude for his studies, especially Eco- nomics, and has all the ear-marks of a successful banker. John Earl Stroud, A.B., Howard, Kas. Came to us from Howard, Kansas. He par- ticularly requested that he receive no other eulogy than that he is a graduate of the Kansas State Normal. Mattie Josephine Kent, A.B., Lawrence, Kas. BK; Y. W. C. A. A lady of quiet refinement. She has said little, but done much, as is shown by the easy, natural way in which she made Phi Beta Kappa. We are almost led to believe that the Kents are try- ing to make election into that society a family tradition William M. Crotinger A.B., Bison, Kas. Y. M. C. A. and P. S. B. Crotinger comes from Bison, which is famous on that account. He liked the University so well that he decided to put off graduating one year, in order to join the Class of ' 08. He is also noted for philanthropic motives in other lines. Anna Ingleman, A.B., Lawrence, Kas. Y. W. ' C. ' : A. ; ' Junior Prom Committee ' 07. Anna decided last year that she would rather graduate with ' 08 than ' 07. She is one of the literature-lovers of the Hill — especially delights in reading ix)etry— Ella Wheeler Wilcox in the evenings. Anna will probably teach a year or so after graduation. ■ ! I r ' i f: Cora E. Dolbee, A.B., Lawrence, Kas. I BK; Y. W. C. A. Modesty seldom resides in a breast that is not enriched with nobler virtues. Cora is another L. H. S. honor student who has worked and smiled and smiled and worked through four years with the rest of us — one of those shining examples for professors to point to and for little sisters to follow. She will probably teach next year, but we shall hear of her again. Madonna Rankin, A.B., Albuquerque, New Mexico. I BK; Y. W. C. A. Day Committee. Quill Club; Senior Class Her stature tall — I hate a dumpty woman. Donna graduated from Lawrence High School with her name on the honor roll, and has kept up her pace throughout her University course. She is one of those girls with a math- ematical brain, and has also a natural aptitude for the Spanish language. Next year she returns to the wild and woolly West, where we hope there will be room for the full sway of her abilities and talents. Otto A. Barteldes, A.B., Lawrence, Kas. $A©; $BK; Mandolin Club. ' Dyke ' attends to his own affairs, and always does what he has to do when he should, said one of his fellow-classmates the other day; and we might add that unless he has to do a thing, he isn ' t often inclined to feel that he ought to do it Probably this is the reason his face isn ' t so fa- miliar at class-meetings, et ccetera, as it might be His theory seems to be like that of the soldier who crawled in the hollow log, and who answered, when asked what would become of the army if all the soldiers did this: Oh! don ' t worry about that. There ain ' t half enough hollow logs to go ' round. Hazel Branch, A.B., Wichita, Kas. 4 BK. It is mighty seldom that a girl has any effect upon the crops, but when Hazel caught the green bug napping, it was a good time for the Kansas farmers to look at a girl. Some have said that she should have chosen a different course, but she has turned this one out so well that they say there is a fight to see what high school will get her now, so maybe she knew her own business. She always knows it well enough, anyway, to do well whatever she does. 3— xw Lanorah Sophia Lane, A.B,, Lawrence, Kas. Lawrence again. What would we do with- out the generous contribution from Lawrence? A hard worker and a thorough student, Nora has made a distinct success of her University course and is sure to make good in her life-work — whatever it may be. John Hill, A.B., Eudora, Kas. The many debate try-outs he has been in have given John a greater amount of experience on the platform than any man in school. Mr. Hill thinks if he had four more years, he might make an alternate ' s place. But the way John cleaned up as one of the heavys in The Pi- rates of Penzance gives promise that he will make an opera star. Lucia Burnham, A.B., Lawrence, Kas. Junior Farce Committee; Y. W. C. A. Here is one of the very few girls who simply adore Mathematics. From many standpoints Lucia would have made a good boy. She is self- reliant, well-poised, and full of common sense, which three qualities, combined with her geniality and wit, make hers one of the most pleasing jier- sonalities in the Senior Class. William Griesa, A.B., Lawrence, Kas. 4 K ; Mandolin Club; Orchestra. As a graduate of Lawrence High School, Nig had to do something remarkable on the Hill; it was a shock to all his friends, however, when he turned his attention to bugs, and s|)ent hours on the Campus looking for crawly laboratory spec- imens. Since these Freshman exj eriences he has achieved fame throughout the State and was Professor Hunter ' s mainstay in his campaign against the green bugs last spring. No gather- ing of Kansas entomologists seems to feel itself comjjlete now without him, and he has l)een called away to take part in many weighty con- ferences this year but we hoi)e to be alile to keep iiim with us on Commencement Day. I t i AuTE Richards, A.B., Lawrence, Kas. A close rival for Tub Reed for first honors as a heavy-weight, balancing the scales at 220. Oughte now holds a position in the Sumner County High School, but will take his degree with our Class — because he wanted to. Frances Brewster, A.B., Thayer, Kas. Y. W. C. A. ; Cabinet ' 03-04 ; Quill Club. There is a tradition that in her Sophomore days as a member of the Class of ' 06, this young lady climbed out of a third-story window of Snow Hall and descended to terra firma by way of the fire-escape. This was long ago, however, in the days of the barbaric annual Class scrap, and throughout her career as a member of our Class Frank has been the sedate young woman that the accompanying picture shows. Bailey Bohannon, A.B., Lav rence, Kas. Y, M. C. A. Pinky has a complexion that is original with himself. He took to his studies from the day he was enrolled, like a duck takes to water, and was only by a narrow margin nosed from the Phi Beta Kappa students, when the first honors were showered. IRosALiA Rachel Stone, A.B., Walton, Kas. «J BK. Nothing is denied to well-directed labour; nothing is to be obtained without ' t. William Guy Guthrie, A.B., Marysville, Ka AS; Track Team ' 08. Guthrie is a Marysville man. He tried fo three years to overcome the athletic tendency of Marysville people and stuck close to his science, but at last came out and made a new indoor mark in the mile. Guthrie is one of the coming physi clans of the State, and if he sticks to his profession as he stuck to Cooley in that mile run, he will finish in the lead. I Nellie Kathleen Shearer, A.B., Lawrence Kas. Y. W. C. A. ; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet; May Queen. She is at once serious and pleasant. A wealth of happiness peeps continually from those bright brown eyes. Unite these two qualities with the consideration that she has accomplished much at the Univerity. Now, can you doubt that she will be successful in her chosen work — that of a teacher? Henry Hyndman, A.B., Lawrence, Kas. AX Hiney came from Illinois Wesleyan to enjoy the Sunflower State. He seems to like it quite well, and will probably be a Kansas doctor. De- spite the fact that Hiney has other attractions — he is the paternal ancestor, next in ascending line, of the first Medic baby — h e has always I)roved one of the best of good fellows. Katherine Schloz, A.B., Argentine, Kas. As her name would indicate, Katherine is a native of Der Vaterland, once removed. For four years her voice has risen high above all the rest in the songs of the Verein, and we wonder how they can spare her next year. L - Winifred M. Wilcox, A.B., Concordia, Kas. Y. W. C. A. ; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet ' 06-07-08 ; Treasurer ' 07-08 Junior Prom Committee. Winifred ' s ambitions or aspirations after graduation rather put the rest of us to shame. She intends to become a foreign missionary! We are all impressed with her self-sacrificing heroism, but when we notice the ring on her third finger we feel that she is not the only per- son who is making a sacrifice — or else not the only person who is going on that missionary journey. Verna Daum, A.B., St. Marys, Kas. Y. W. C. A. Once upon a time, Verna started for Baker. To get to Baldwin she must change cars in Law- rence. She had a little time between trains, so she walked up to the Hill to see the sights. One look at the University convinced her there could be no other school so good, and at that moment Baker lost a mighty good girl. Not only the members of the Class are glad, but especially one Person who is not a member of ' 08. Robert Roy Cook, A.B., Clay Center, Kas. Business Manager of the Glee Club ' 06-07; Vice-President of the Senior Class; Senior Play. W hen Roy first came to us from Clay Center, he was tied hard and fast to his mother ' s apron- strings. He soon found, however, that apron- strings have no place at the University of Kan- sas, and one day was heard an awful ripping sound — Roy was free. Since then his develop- ment has been rapid and he has acquired, along with various worldly accomplishments, a breadth and a strength of character which have won him a deservedly high place in the estimation of his classmates. Helen Vaughan Eveland, A.B., Kansas City, Mo. Y. W. C. A.; Quill] Club; Junior I arce Com- mittee; Junior Farce; Senior Play. Committee. Helen came to us, one of the ' ' personally con- ducted, bearing her beribboned Central High School diploma in her hand After four years of successful grafting, she is to be congratu- lated upon her stand-in with the English De- partment. She has never been betrayed into losing the re-pose-iu calm w ' ith which she looks ' down upon the vain and fevered striving of her less fortunate fellow-creatures. r Robert Jackson Ray, A.B., Sterling, Kas. The very embodiment of dignity. If appear- ances count for anything, he will be a second Henry Clay or John C. Calhoun. We are making no predictions, but will simply say that his abili- ties as a student give great promise for the future. Edith A. Goodwin, ' A.B., Detroit, Kas. Edith is a faithful, conscientious student, one of those without whom the School would go to smash. Before coming here she attended the K. S. A. C, and when she leaves us, she will con- tinue her chosen profession of teaching. f I Oscar F. Eastman, A.B., Lawrence, Kas. One of those men who, like a magnet, on quiz days attract students from all sides. Will make an ideal History professor, but expects to study Medicine and make that his life-work Ruth Ethel Phenicie, A.B., Reno, Kas. Ruth had the good judgment to come to Law- rence for her high schfxil as well as her University education. Always plcasiint, the only trouble she gives her friends is when they try to pro- nounce her full name very rapidly. Charles Burton Root ' A. B., Lawrence, Kas. I Freshman ' I Foot- Ball -Team ' 04; ' Varsity Foot- Ball ' 05 ; Assistant Physical Director ' 06- 08 ; Class Lacrosse ' 05-07. Root is the University strong man. He is a living example of a healthy mind in a healthy body. Although Root came from Lincoln, he has learned all kinds of athletic tricks, even swimming, but has lately become engulfed in a strong Eddy and may not survive. As a phy- sical director Root is a success. High-school students get an inspiration the first day they come to Gym, and would rather miss their dinner than miss his class. Clara Weston Kas. Y. W. C. A. Carpenter, A.B., Lawrence, Clara is from the Lawrence High School, and, presumably from her experience there, w e find in her the unusually modest Freshman ambition to get through the first year without flunking. That she succeeded in this through all her college years her degree ably testifies, and we rejoice • with her in the satisfaction she must feel at hav- ing successfully lived up to one good resolution. William D. Petit, A.B., Lawrence, Kas. Glee Club ' 04. William D. is a brother of Julius Caesar. Generally recognized as the tallest man in the Class — not by any means living up to his name, Petit, as translated from the French. A good congenial fellow. John Lee Black, A.B., Lawrence, Kas. Quill Club. A Lawrence boy who scaled the McCook fence with his feet tied together during his Freshman year. He also has acquired fame in other fields, having become a Chemistry gun and a literary Maude Hall, A.B., Paofa, Kas. Junior Farce. Senior Play- As a long-distance, high-speed conversational- ist, Maude wins the championship in a walk. She acquired this common boarding-school ac- complishment in Rockford College, but decided before finishing there that such talents would be wasted on mere girls alone, so came to K. U. She has been the life of many a function here, and has made many friends among both boys and girls. Lola Markley, A.B., Lawrence, Kas. Y. W. C. A.; Lawrence High School. Another of the famous Lawrence contingent, which has done so much towards building up the fame of ' 08. Always to be seen at class-meet- ings, she has always been found willing to do and give her share. Samuel Ebb Crumb (not Ebb S.), A.B., Febru- ary, ' 08, Galena, Kas. 2H; German Play ' 07; with Kansas Ento- mological Expedition summers ' 05 and ' 06; in charge of Univeisity Field Station during spring of ' 07; at present Assistant Entomol- ogist of Texas. In spite of the ridicule of the funny papers, Samuel has undoubtedly adopted the profession of the bug-hunter, and already Fortune is smil- ing upon him. To those particularly interested we would suggest a ])ossible correlation between the name Sanuiel and the Phylum Insccla. Helen Beach Smith, A.B., Nickerson, Kas. Y. W. C. A. ; Girls ' Glee Club. Helen has been with us but three terms, but as slie came to K. U. from Xickcrson College with the avowed intention of graduating with the Class of ' 08, we gladly include her among our l e- loved classmates. She knows a good thing when she sees it, and will return to the University next year in i)ursuit of still further learning. Cecil Smith, A.B., Beloit, Kas. A2; Y. M. C. A. Cecil first graduated from the telegraphic de- partment of one of our great railways. Now he intends to graduate from the college department of one of the greatest American universities Where he will graduate next we cannot say, but there is no doubt that he will keep on graduating until he reaches a high summit of attainment. Mary Belle Maughlin, A.B., Lawrence, Kas. Y. W. C. A. When we were Sophomores, Miss Maughlin left Tarkio College, in Missouri, for a better land, and came to Kansas. Since then she has spent much time profitably and agreeably with the Depart- ment of English, and next fall she will begin teaching this her favorite subject. Henry Kohman, A.B., Dillon, Kas. 2H; Y. M. C. A.; German Play ' 07; Class Base-Ball ' 05-06-07 ; Captain Class Base-Ball ' 07. A man who says little, but is always busy. Margaret R. Osmond, A.B., Great Bend,f_Kas. Y. W. C. A.;l Y. W. C. A. Cabinet ' 06; Quill Club ' 05. After a varied experience in the Denver, Ta- coma, and Great Bend High Schools, Miss Mar- garet settled down for four years of college life, during which she has won fame because of her [ pleasant smile and happy disposition. Edith Susanna De Moss, A.B., Thayer, Kas. Y. W. C. A. There was a little girl, and she had a little soul; And she said, ' Little Soul, let us try, try, try! ' C. A. Smith, A.B., Lawrence, Kas. A firm believer in the idea that it is never too late to get an education, Smith left the principal- ship of a high school two years ago, and brought his family to the University. A splendid student — at times giving information that surprised even the p ' rofessors in his classes. Mary Virmond, A.B., Hays City, Kas. Y. W. C. A. To her intimate friends Mary is known as Ma, because she is always doing something nice for somebody. She has been very i oi)ular during her college career, but Hays City Dai- lies and a diamond ring on her third finger make it apparent that her choice has not fallen on a K. U. boy. In spite of the dreamy, far-away look in her eyes, she loves the University and her students dearly, and will think of us often in the years to come. Iv. L. Morrow, A.B., Arkansas City, Kas. Ernest has been one of the earnest students of the Class: would have been a great athlete had he started in that line. Started a good graft his first year by selling specimens to the Zoology De- partment. Now you may know what liecame of your cats and dogs a few years ago. Will be- come a doctor after two years more. Eleanor BLAKEY, TA.B., Pleasonton, ' Kas. p.KA0; Y. W. C. A. ; f Junior i Prom Committee ; Junior Farce; Jayhawker Board. . With her cousin Bee, Eleanor is one of the chil- dren. Developed from a pretty little girl into a prototype of Grecian beauty, she received a heavy vote for the most beautiful girl in the Sen- ior Class. Several of the other sex have taken into account this and her many other good qual- ities, and she has reaped the benefit. She has a case now, but it is best to leave out names, for it is still about six weeks till this book is to be read, and we want no mistakes. We will give her credit, however, for being able to carry a lot of Botany and Zoology, which she says she will teach some day. Ralph Brock Kas. Pemberton, A.B., Emporia, A0; Masque Club; Quill Club; Scoop Club; Glee Club ; Senior Play. The Prince of Buzzers. Brock ' s experience on the Emporia Gazette is probably responsible for facility at making acquaintances (among the co-eds). EvADNE Marie Laptad, A.B., Lawrence, Kas. 4 BK; Y. W. C. A.; Quill Club; Jayhawker Board ; Senior Play Committee ; German Play ' 06. Evadne was an honor student in Lawrence High School; made Phi Beta Kappa without trying (?), has taught German and French in the University, and, besides all this, has long eye- lashes, rosy cheeks, and a pug nose. She will take her master ' s degree next year, and intends then to write the greatest English novel. Virgil Warren McCarty, A.B., La Harpe, Kas. Oread Club; ' Varsity Foot-Ball Team ' 04; Class Base-Ball Team and Basket-Bail Team ' 05-06-07. Mac is an awfully good-hearted kid, with a true Irish twinkle in his eye and a smile that won ' t come off. He promised to become a star foot-ball player in his Freshman year, but heroic- ally put aside gridiron glories for the more serious things in life. They say he greatly prefers the fleur-de-lis to the shamrock. L. L. Andrews, A.B., Abilene, Kas. A philosopher and theologian of the highest type, and a literary genius — all this is he. Olive A. Lenig, A.B., Fort Wayne, Indiana. Y, W. C. A. The daughter of a Methodist minister, Olive has led a nomadic existence, wandering from Sedalia to Fort Scott, and then to Lawrence, where she stopped, recognizing that this was her natural habitat. She has not only specialized in the extinct languages, but declares a solemn in- tention of investigating prehistoric tongues as well. Gary Blake y Gillispie, A.B., Cherry vale, Kas. Y. M. C. A. ; Class Lacrosse ; Vesper Chorus. Gary came from Cherry vale; otherwise he had an even start. He has Ijeen a good student and has had a gocxi time and lots of cases,. ' but sol- emnly declares he will go to work the day he graduates. Benjamin Samuel Hill, Walnut, Kas., A.B. BK ; Treasurer V. M. C. A. ' 08. Ben came up from Walnut in tlie fall of ' 04 and began his search for the Phi Beta Kajjpa. He closed his career as a student with his cum laude, but he has accjuired the habit of studying and cannot stop. He never loses time — even studies his lessons on Sunday — Sunday-school lesstjns, of course. Some day he will be a walking ency- clopedia, a century Ixxik of facts, and an ex-offlcio professor. Henry Hume Smith, A.B., Stockton, Kas. 2N; 0NE; French Play ' 06; Senior Play. Hunk came to us five years ago from the short-grass country, and his ability as a piano- player has made him many friends. His rag- time accomplishments are known to us all. Hin first essayed Engineering, but finding that the course jarred on his sensitive musical nature, he abandoned it for college work, in which he has proven himself to be an excellent student. Esther Rauch, A.B., Topeka, Kas. KA0; Y. W. C. A.; The Sophomore Com- mittee; Junior Prom Committee; Senior Class Day Committee ; Senior Play. As a Freshman, Esther successfully ran three different cases in three different frater- nities! Later in life, however, she was brought struggling into the folds of the Y. W. C. A., and was there shown the vainness of such trifling and frivolity. From that time on she has been a con- scientious student, having particularly shone in Prof. Engle ' s Kindergarten German Class. She is blessed ( ?) with great conversational abil- ities and an acute sense of humor, which has been known to create situations. Adelbert D. McClEVERTy, A.B., Lawrence, Kas. $rA; Junior Prom Committee; Vice-Presi- dent Junior Senior Plav. Laws; Good Government Club. A man of genial nature. Mac is the envy of both sexes; the girls begrudge him his beauti- ful complexion, while the boys covet his happy smile. We must admit that there is cause for both. Next year he intends to enroll himself under the banner of Uncle Jimmy, and, if the Fates permit, will make himself felt in the legal world. Twinkle Gertrude Brock, A.B., Excelsior Springs, Mo. Twinkle, Twinkle Gertrude Brock, She gives one an awful shock! Tho ' she seems so very shy, She sets folks laughing fit to die. Claudia Pendleton, A.B., Lawrence, Kas. I IIB ; Senior Faice. An unrelenting student of history, Claudia may be seen most any time in the Library doing reference work, and is easily recognizable by her red cheeks and cheerful smile. We think she was very thoughtful in waiting a year to grad- uate in our Class. Harold C. Herman, A.B., Reseive, Kas. President of Y. M. C. A. ' 07-08. Harold came to us from the Kansas .Agricul- tural College, and for that, if nothing else, we credit him with a good head. Harold has been one of those young men that the best of us should be proud of, and the worst of us should look up to — a model example of Christian manhood. Alice Templin. A.B., Lawrence, Kas. I KA0; Y. W. C. A.; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet ' 06-07, ' 07-08; Junior Prom Committee ; Class Day Farce Committee. HandicapiJed from the start by being the Dean ' s daughter, and by not being a graduate of the Lawrence High School, Alice has neverthe- less come out on top, and with a goodly string of .s to her credit on George O. ' s books. She has lived up to the traditions of her family by early singling out a K. U. boy as the object of her affections, and remaining faithful unto the end. D. G. SiCELOFF, A.B., Belle Plaine, Kas. Assistant Plav. Manager of Athletics ' 07; Senior Skikky, alias Sizzleoff, alias Hayloft, ' has never told anybody whether his Christian name is Daniel or David. He came to the Uni- versity from Belle Plaine High School with the ambitvon to lie a civil engineer, but when he made a . in Plant Histology, he changed his plans, and now bids fair to become a second Amos Gray. We wish him much success and trust that the speed with which fame and fortune are sure to come to him will not cause him to forget his friends. i Ivy Hasket, A.B., Belleville, Kas. Ivy is exclusive, but, as this picture shows, she is charming in appearance, and those who are so fortunate as to be her intimate friends declare she is as interesting as she is pretty. Haughey Angney, A.B., Lawr ence, Kas. Captain of Freshman Base-Ball Tearn; Mem- ber Lacrosse Team ' 05-06-07; Class Basket-Ball ' 08 ; ' Varsity Base-Ball ' 08. Haughey has the peculiar combination of a student and athlete. He has been loyal to his Class in athletics three years, and this year will, in all probability, win a K in base-ball. In politics, he claims the distinction of never yet iieing able to be grafted. ThekIvA Adolphe Fisher, A.B., Lyons, Kas. Xfi; President Y. W. C. A.; Junior Prom Committee. It has been said of Ducky, and truthfully, that ' ■ she can carry a great [deal of responsibility more easily and gracefully than any of the other girls In addition, she is a thoroughly good fellow, and has a friend in every member of the Class. John A. Hess, A.B., Lawrence, Kas. 4 BK; President German Verein ' 07; ant German Department ' 08. Assist- A direct descendant of the martyr, he at once found favor in the eyes of William H. Phi Beta Kappa had to come, and when William H. went to Europe, Hess at once stepped into his shoes. His home town of Halstead is erecting a statue to its illustrious son. r Gertrude Marion High School. Walters, A.B., Horton Girls ' Glee Club! Quill Club; Senior Farce. Gertrude must be a genius, for she has certainly worked a difficult combination. She is a gun ; she has a very bad case ; and still she acts in a level-headed and eminently sensible fashion. Guy Robert Duer, A.B., Nickeison, Kas. Guy came to us from the famous wheat belt of Kansas, and, true to the proverbial idea of young men from the farm for morals, he has been a worthy example for anyone to follow — in fact, he has been a guide for all classes. Mary Wilhelmina Schmidt, A.B., Humboldt, Kas. Mary prepared for the University in Saint Angela ' s High School, London, England, but, being able to resist the charms of them English jukes, she returned to Kansas, to the best Uni- versity on earth. Thomas M. ' ! Van Cleave, A.B., Kansas City Kas. 4 A0; Class Base- Ball ' 05. Tom has taken an active part in University affairs ever since his Freshman year. He is a good fellow and a good student. He seems to have done all those things which he ought to have done and left undone all those things which he should not have done. ' ' Tis well. Bernard Long Sheridan, A.B., Paola, Kas. K ; Associate Editor Jayhawker ; Assistant Business Manager Kansan ' 07; Good Govern- ment Club; Junior Farce; Committee Junior Farce. In society Barney is recognized as one of the candy ladies ' men. Coming from a stock which has figured prominently in Kansas politics, Barney tried to hold up the family prestige, but, in his own words, he has always been on the losing side. Blanche E. Rinehart, A.B., Lawrence, Kas. Blanche is above the ordinary pleasures of the common herd. She lives in a world of antiquity, and is never so happy as when poring over the musty tomes of the classics. Roy a. Roberts, A.B., Lawrence, Kas. ATO Editor Editor Junior miittee Good Play. ; Kansan Board ' 04-05-06; Managing ' 07; Editor-in-Chief ' 07-08; Athletic Jayhawker; Chairman Junior Farce; Farce; Chairman Cap and Gown Com- ; Class Basket- Ball ' 05-06-07; Quill Club; Government Club; Scoop Club; Senior Bumps gained all these honors, and yet he disclaims the name of a grafter. He entered the Class of ' 08 yet a lad, but his growth, mentally and physically, has been almost abnormal. Fol- lowing journalism throughout his course, Roy has become such an adept with his pen that even his professors declare that his quiz books read like stories. Raymond Albert City, Kas. Y. M. C. A. Barrows, A.B., Junction Ray spent his first two years here in the seclu- sion of North College. By diligent observation on moonlight nights he found just how they do it, and has since become quite a ' ' stunt as a society man. 4— K Frank FRiCKLETON, A.B., Joplin, Mo. SX.j ' Glee Club; Junior Farce; Press Club; The Pirates of Penzance. ; Senior Play. Frick is a hail fellow from the wilds of Southwest Missouri. His clothes are immediate reflections of the most advanced Joplin styles, and are built on such lines as to give him an un- common distinction among his fellow-students. He has attained success in several lines, but the highest summit of his achievement is undoubtedly his leading and exalted position among the ' ' fus- sers and flitters. Florida Ducker, A.B., Joliet, 111. Floradora has been accused of being one of the members of the famous sextette. The strongest argument in favor of this supposition is the graceful ease and untiring energy with which she trips the light fantastic. Her ad- miration for athletic heroes in general centered early upon one in particular. P. L. Davis, A.B., Lawrence, Kas. Phil, too, has the good fortune of claiming Lawrence as his home. He came to the Univer- sity because of the environment. Wallace Franklin Hovey, A.B., Holton, Kas. Y. M. C. A.; Track Team ' 05; Class La- crosse; X Y Z Club; Snow Debating Council ' 07-08; President Quill Club; Press Club; Kan- san Board ' 05-06-07; Managing Editor ' 08; Jay- hawker Board. Motto. — Down with the Frats! By special recjuest we publish as his chief claim to distinc- tion his unicjue claim to l eing the only man in ' 08 without a romance. Wallace came to us from Brown County, but after his four years here in the Journalism School, promises to return home and paint the old county yellow. He has lieen active in every phase of college life and every- where made good. N. C. Case, A.B., Highland, Kas. Case, having exhausted the supply of learning that could be supplied him at Cooper College, came to us this spring to get a degree from the University of his State. Susie Shaffer, A.B., Hays City, Kas. President Y. W. C. A., ' 06-07; Secretary of Senior Class Susie is above all a womanly woman. Her quiet force and even temper have pushed her steadily toward success until she graduates to- day with high honors. If she is lucky enough to escape matrimony, she will make a valuable addition to the staff of Kansas teachers. Samuel A. McReynolds, A.B., Oklahoma City, Okla. Track Team ' 05; Manager Mandolin Club ' 05-06; Orchestra. A Sooner by environment, a Kansan by choice, this is the story of Sam. He stepped from the train at Lawrence believing himself to be des- tined to do miracles upon the Hill. A grafter of the craftiest kind, a soloist and athlete — an extraordinary combination. Mary Edith Pinney, A.B., Wilson, Kas. Y. W. C. A. ; Senior Farce. Mary migrated from Clinton, Iowa, to Webster City, Iowa, and then on to Wilson, Kansas, where she finished her high school career. She is first, last, and all the time a devotee to the biological sciences. Her chief place of residence is Snow Hall, where she may be found at any hour of the day, from eight in the morning to six at night — almost. Roy L. Douglas, Columbus, Kas. 2X; Junior Class President, Y. M. C. A.; Kan- san Board, Managing Editor and Editor-in-Chief; Glee Club, ' 07-08; Junior Farce; President of Masque Club; Senior Play Committee; Jay- hawker Board; Kansas-Missouri Debate ; Presi- dent Snow Literary Society; Debating Council. Roy is one of those men who does things, as the above story will tell. At first leaning to- ward journalism, Roy later decided to study Law. Douglass achieved his first success in the spring of 1905, when he performed the last sad rites of commending the spirit of ' 07 to the patron god- dess of departed souls. Ola Luckey Bingler, A.B., Lawrence, Kas. KA0; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet; Senior Play Committee ;Scnior Farce. Ola was here waiting for ' 08 when we arrived, and the cordial welcome she gave us has given her a warm comer in the hearts of her classmates. Long may she wave! t Chester A.

Her dignity and refinement account in a large measure or her popularity. She is a student of exceptiona ability, and if called upon, could fill with credit a position in the History department.

Happy is the nation whose history is uneventful. If this axiom is a sound one, when we, the Class of 1909, consider the glorious days of yore as they are de- scribed to us by those who have gone before, we are compelled to conclude tha t our Class must be a very happy one indeed. Where are those brave and valiant May-pole love-feasts; where those hospitable receptions tendered by the Soph- omores to the home-sick Freshmen ; where are the chains, the greased poles, and the Class scraps, those diverting events that made college-life worth while to our uncles and our daddies? Chivalry and tournaments have passed away, the Junior Prom goes off without a hitch, and the Law and the Engineer lie down together, and Chancellor Strong has led them. And yet, if the conquests of ' 09 have not been those of the prize-ring, they are no less sure or certain, because they are silent ones. One after another the breastworks of the enemy have fallen before our insidious attack — debating, foot- ball, basket-ball; and with September of this year the citadel itself will fall and we shall stand as Seniors in the heart of the city. For what earthly power can 1 ng withstand the attack of our manly boys or the almost superhuman beauty of our fair and gentle maidens? On every hand you can see instances of our conquests: Seniors possess. Sophomores aspire, and Freshmen succeed as well as you could expect; but every Class owns the unquestionable supremacy of the Junior girls. And, perhaps, even the coming generations, returning from their annual Class parties at eleven o ' clock in the evening, and living temperately on toasted cornflakes and concentrated malted milk, a la Chittenden, perhaps they, too, will sigh with regret when they think of the glorious days of 1909, when we had three successive Class parties on as many successive nights, and did not go home till day-break; and when three square meals a day and a snack at Wiede ' s scarcely kept the breath of life in our bodies. And we shall derive our compensation for our present deprivations from informing our young olive and lemon branches that they are missing all that made life worth while in 1908-09. W. A. W. Sophomore Class History.  President Carroll Teeter. [Vice-President Barl Woodward. Treasurer Flavel Robertson. Secretary Margaret Fort. It was in September, 1906, that the long-expected, patiently-awaited event happened at the University of Kansas; an event which thrilled the Faculty with pleasure, and gave great hope to all those who had a deep interest in K. U. Every- body had long desired to see an ideal Class enter the great State school. No such longing was unsatisfied after the Class of 19 10 began its four-years course. There was no school enterprise into which it did not enter with great determi- nation. When the Foot-ball Team needed stron g, hardy men, it found them among us. If the Basket-ball Team could not find a fifth man to make up her team, she came to us. When the Track Team had become downhearted, 1910 made it a winning team. When the Base-ball Team wanted pitchers, we had them. But it is not in Athletics alone that this much appreciated Class is considered great. In their application to study, in their participation in every school enter- prise, and in their broad University spirit, the Sophomores are known to excel. In two more years no doubt there will be a sadness the like of which was never before felt in school. It will probably be because the Class of 19 10 is say- ing good-bye. If then in after-years you hear of a K. U. graduate doing wonderful things, remember there is only one way to identify him : he was a member of the Class of 1 9 10. fsmmm Freshman Class History. 9 9 r Mi t 0 — iTT-atwunr mM w Prtsldent Milton C.

At the earnest solicitation of the Chancellor and the Registrar, the Class of 1911 assumed its place in the University last fall, and at once took up its duties as counsellor and guide to the P ' aculty and the student body. Because of our wisdom and dignity, the Faculty eagerly listened to our advice. Because of our strength of numbers, the other classes paid the most strict obedience to our com- mands. Since the Class of 1 911 has made its advent in K. U. Hfe, the term Fresh- man has become obsolete, and the Board of Regents will hold a special meeting before long, to choose a more appropriate title for a Class which has done so much toward elevating the students of the school. We have endeavored to place K. U. life on a higher plane than that which has been maintained by the classes which have gone before us. We have frowned upon the frivolous gaiety of the social whirl, in which the other classes indulge at F. A. A. Hall, and have tried to place a higher value upon intellectual attainment than on the Barn Dance. Our classmates have made good in the debating teams and literary societies, and 7 he Kansan is even now under the management of two Freshmen (?). In Athletics we have shown conclusively that we are not only to be reckoned with, but that we are to be feared. We have men on every ' Varsity team, and with but little trouble were able to carry away the Class cham- pionships cup in Basket-ball, and will repeat the performance in Track work. In the short time that we have been in K. U. we have noted the failings of each of the other classes, and for the next three years we will conduct the affairs of the University cs they should be cQnducte:. ' • ' ' ' ' Keilman. A . siN Psor n LAW BUILDING -COMPLETED «906. History of the Law School. The history of the Law School dates back practically to the early history of the University. From 1866, when Kansas University was first opened, it was little more than a preparatory institution until the installation of professional courses in its curriculum. The earliest of these, the Law Department, was organ- ized in October of the year 1878. The original idea was to make the Law Course an optional to be carried in addition to some of the collegiate branches. Dean Green, then a practicing attorney in the city of Lawrence, was applied to, and, while doubting the practicability of the plan of making Law a minor to collegiate work, was willing to give it a trial. From that moment the life of this great- hearted man has been given to the building up of this school in the University. As Mr. Green suspected, the plan soon proved to be a failure, and the arrange- ment for a Law Cours2 proper was at once made the next year. This marks the practical beginning of the Law School. Separated now, with an independeirtt • existence, it at once began to thrive with the growth of the University, and although shifted about to suit the convenience of the Janitor and the other departments, the ever persistency of our dear Dean could not but develop a Law School, no longer an annex, but an integral part of the University itself. From the first class of 13, it has grown in its struggle for existence to an enrollment of over 200, and after a quarter of a century of unremitting toil, in adverse condition, the long- cherished dream of our noble Dean — a building for the Law Department— was realized And thus, to-day, Dean Green, assisted by Professors Burdick, Higgins, and Moore, has built up a school that is a monument to his name, a credit to the University, and the pride of the Commonwealth of Kansas. t Jamks Wools Green, AKE, A.B. 1866, A.M. 1886 (Williams).i Dean of the School of Law. and Professor of Law, 1878.

History of the 1908 Law Class.    The poet has sung of the time When all the world was young, lad, And all the trees were green. It was on a day such as this that we gathered on the University Campus, in the fall of 1905, to study the greatest of sciences, the Law. Ever since we had attended the trials in the old court-house back home, and witnessed the lively encounters between the distinguished members of the Bar, our hearts had been fired with an ambition for forensic and legal renown. And so at last we had taken up the pilgrimage to this Mecca of the Jurisprudent. Vis- ions of Daniel Webster and Henry Clay and all the other mighty ones of old rose before us. We thought of the great contests before the bar, and in the forum, when the lives of men or the fate of nations were at stake; we remembered the commanding influence of the judiciary; and as we handed our trunk checks to the baggageman at the depot, we felt like saying, though we only thought, Fellow, have a care; thou earnest Caesar and his fortunes. The Law loomed big before our eyes. A country of boundless possibilities, whose boundaries we had indeed never beheld, but within which each was resolved to carve out for himself fame and fortune. The Faculty, filled with the spirit of martyrs of old, took us in hand, and have been busy ever since. Our thirst for knowledge was something prodigious. We did not have time to recite, we had so many questions to ask. We wanted immediate and accurate information on all the phases of the Law that we had ever heard of. We argued and questioned until that method of research fell into undeserved disrepute. We soon realized, however, in order to protect and further the affairs of the Class as a whole, the need of organization. A date for our first Class election was at once set, and the war began. Our trouble was, we were what might be called a regiment of brigadier-generals. There were no privates in our ranks. We all were or wanted to be leaders. Finally, after many midnight caucuses, trades, combinations, promises, charges, counter-charges, much wire-pulling, and a flood of oratory, which would have reflected credit upon the Roman Forum in the days of Cicero and Hortensius, we elected State Senator C. L Martin as President. The excitement thus engendered carried us up to the first quarterly examinations, which we went into very much like a regiment that has never been under fire. We stood our ground, however, and after the examination was over, we lingered in the halls and argued the questions over for two hours more, until, after the uproar had closed, each went home doubting if he had answered any of the questions correctly. When the grades were handed out, the carnage was indeed awful. Many a prominent one felt the need of a more extended research in the principles of American Jurisprudence. Those of us who escaped the fatal results when the examinations were ended, as a means of rejoicing, took part in our first Class smoker. Under the general direction of the Committee, aided by the mirth-provoking anecdotes related by the members of the Class, our chastened spirits were revived, and we went back to our books with the energy and determination that alone develops into legal ability. In the fall of our Middle year we returned, but with rather depleted ranks. As Uncle Jimmy said, Some did not return, others couldn ' t. Roy Cox had impressed us with his varied talents, so we entrusted him with the reins of gov- ernment. Like taskmasters, the Faculty now drove us to our appointed labors- No longer did we greet them with a volley of questions at each recitation. Well satisfied were we if we could make a stab at answering some of theirs. How- ever, we tore ourselves away from our books long enough to celebrate Uncle Jimmy Day with a banquet at the Eldridge, where our comrade Cox paid a glowing tribute to the 1908 Class, which for impassioned eloquence, it is admitted, has never been equalled in K. U. We opened our Senior year with a first-class game of politics, which almost equalled the Titanic struggle of our Junior year. A stranger to our methods might have thought we were a band of pirates sefecting a new chief. But after the din had ceased, Harry O. Gaskill emerged from the smoke of battle, grasping the President ' s gavel, and philosophically the rest of us went back to labor on our Practice Court Cases. Although the record of our Class may not stand out the most conspicuous in the annals of the Law School, it has, however, heartily and willingly assumed the responsibilities that have fallen upon it, and on various occasions has helped to carry Law and the blessings of civilization even to the remotest corners of the Campus. We have a number of men who indeed have won for us renown. Julius Cohn, Brunner, Meyers, Dennis, and Ise, all have been members of the ' Varsity Foot-Ball Team at various times, and have made very brilliant showings. Dennis is this year a member of our One-Mile Relay Team, which broke the Missouri Valley record at Kansas City. Paul Wall and Thomas Countryman are members of the winning Debate Team this year, and Vigg, Blackmar, and Adams were mem- bers of debating teams last year. On the field of School affairs, J. P. Jones has the honor c f being Editor of The Kansas Lawyer, with F. O. Martin as Business Man- ager. Chas. Blackmar was Toastmaster at the Annual Law Banquet this year. and B. T. Worrall at the same time represented the Class in response to the toast ' ' Opportunities. Eugene Grant distinguished himself by reading a paper before the State Bar Association at Topeka this year, and the Coughlin brothers carried off the laurels in playing the leading roles of The Little Minister. E. M. Brunner is the Law Editor of the 1908 Annual. For our Class memoria l, and as a slight expression of our admiration and re- gard, we expect to place the portrait of the 1908 Law Class in the Law Library. And so we go forth, to the North, the East, the South, and the West. That we have made many mistakes is certain, but, looking at the past, mellowed with kindly memories, and gazing forth into the future with resolves, ambitions, and aspiring, there is not one of us but would say that, were he to live the year anew, he would again gladly and loyally link his fate with that of the University of Kan- sas and the 1908 Law Class. Edward H. Coughlin, LL.B., Edgerton, Kas. This gentleman is one of the good fellows of the Class. He came to us from the State INor- mal, and has entered heart and soul into the study of his profession. E. H. is deserving of all the success that may come to him. EmilE M. Brunner, A.B., LL.B., Cnega, Kts Emile ' s ambition could not be satisfied with a collegiate education, and the vision of a great man having dawned upon him two years ago, he decided to become an ex-pounder of the Law. Mighty of limb as well as of mind, he served his Alma Mater for four successive years upon the gridiron, having been discovered by Boss Weeks years ago. The treatment of cases has become Emile ' s favorite subject of late, and in the Court of future years we predict his success Sadie Walmer, LL.B., Merriam, Kas. The only woman in the Law School. Let others of her sex look at the above and be warned in time She expects to give herself a five-year try-out on the stage, and unquestionably an unrivaled actress will be disclosed to the aston- ished public. Is not engaged to F. O. Harry Randall, LL.B., Salina, Kas. Before the honorable Faculty in regular session, sitting in and for the Law School. In re Randall. Your humble orator, Randall, comes before said honorable Faculty pleading for a grade, and says: That he is of sound mind, of lawful age, a bachelor by circumstance rather than choice; That he is a bona- fide student in good standing; That he has ever deported himself seemingly, and is not as vain as Stryker, as handsome as Cohn, or as studious as Parsons. Wherefore said board passes him with grade . 5— K r Robert E. Coughun, LL.B., Edgerton, Kas. A howling Democrat he! Robert ' s chief claim to distinction is that he was a charter member in the Mutual Admiration Society and Seif- Boosting Club of the Law School. As a politician he has used tricks that would make old Cy Leland himself turn g een with envy, but we forgive all that for his splendid work in The Little Minister. Harry Andrew Gaskill, LL.B., Ottawa, Kas. In the bright lexicon of youth there is no such word as fail. Harry is president of the Class, and is one of the best all-around fellows in the University. He possesses the ability for good head-work ad we predict for him a bright future. John Paul Jones, LL.B., Kansas City, Kas. J. P., the Beau Brummel, and by all odds the wearer of the most passionate ' sox. When he gets his gala rags all on, he looks like the hind end of bad luck. While there is no particu- lar halo around his head, we hope that Jones will do well, for he is a thorough student and a good lawyer, with symptoms of a malignant love. Newton C. Campbell, LL.B., Coffeyville, Kas. Cam mav be descril)ed in a brief way as be- in a man of intensity. He certainly believes in usmg his energies, whatever he may do, and gen- erally uses them to advantage. His strong sympathy and good-fellowship have won him many friends. 6%— K Louis H. Moore, LL.B., Fort Scott, Kas. June Bug made a very brilliant start in the College, but after his first year there surmised that he had a Legal Mind ; consequently, his deep bass voice has been waking the echoes of Green Hall ever since. His favorite amusement is the manufcture of bum athletic dope. Jesse V. PiERSON, A.B., LL.B., Frankfort, Kas. And her name was Maud. Pierson brought the pompadour back to K. U. They had it here when he managed Yost ' s team in ' 99. Jesse was an actor then, but a man amoug men. He still holds a winning hand. Arnott R, Lamb, LL.B., Yates Center, Kas. Yon Cassius hath a lean and hungry look. He studieth much. (?) He looks up to the girl; in other words, his ideal of womanhood is a high one. Vigilantibus non dormientibus quitas subvenit. Hyden J. Eaton, LL.B., Kansas City, Mo. Hyden is a man who does as he pleases. He attends strictly to business and enjoys the proud distinction of being able to say that he is no grafter. ' His natural ability is apparent to all who know him, and he is assured of success in every way in Clyde C. Adams, LL.B., Topeka, Kas. The disappointed office-seeker from Topeka Revels in the distinction of having four genera- tions of urban ancestry Within the last year Clyde C. has deviated somewhat from his prim- itive ambitions of being a lawyer and is aspiring towards the artistic and poetical. His latest and most famous production is April Showers. Paul Jean Wall, LL.B., Wichita, Kas. The most sublime sound that can be heard on this earth is the lisping of a human soul from the lips of childhood. Ray H. Tinder, LL.B., Parsons, Kas. Rabo possesses the classic features of Cicero, the ambition of Napoleon, and the self-confidence of Hannibal. The fact that he differs with Black- stone on most legal principles does not lessen his opinion of his own legal ability. Clarence J. Dennis, LL.B., Seneca, Kas. Dennis is one of the athletes of the Law School, He was a member of the famous Shorty Ham- mil tyros in the fall of ' 05, but found it neces- sary to discontinue his athletic ambitions for a year to carry on an exhaustive study of Bills and Notes. He is now a member of the Track Team. In K. U. vs. M. U. he also ran. OTTO R. SouDERS, LL-B., Cheney. ' Kas. He is a pseudo-papa of the Class. ' He was edu- cated in Wichita High and came to the Univer- sity intending to speciahze in all the branches of Law. He occasionally gets rough and says Pshaw! but Souders is a good student and a man of excellent habits. Jacob L. Stryker, LL.B., Fredoriii, Kas. J. L. is what might be called neutral, or slightly alkaline in reaction. His home is at-Fredonia, Kansas, and the fact that he is now assistant to W. U. Moore is evidence of his ability. Frank Langley, LL.B., Olpe, Kas. Prior to his entrance into the Law Department of the University, Langley had been teaching for two years in the Philippine Islands. He is a graduate of the State Normal, and the es- sentials that go to make a good lawyer are not lacking. Albert A. Mann, LL.B., Lawrence, Kas. Mann has two distinguishing features — he has no nickname and he is a married man. He hails from the short-grass country, but is, at pres- ent, a resident of Lawrence. In corpus juris civ- ills, a prima proximus doctus. He concurs with Roosevelt on the problem of race suicide. Leo T. Gibbens, LL.B., Kingman, Kas. Began as a Senior and worked backwards; when he had completed the Junior work, he was issued his sheepskin and left us. The first one of the Class to buck and pass the State Bar. He has returned to the Philippines to resume the work that he left to join us. Alfred Mobsman Landon, ence, Kas. LL.B., Independ- Fox is a lad of parts. As a student, politi- cian, and a thorough good fellow, he ranks as one of the best of ' 08. He has been a leader in all University matters, and has been ever ready to promote student rights and student sentiment. Is not married. Julius Cohn, LL.B., Fort Scott, Kas. Jules reluctantly admits that he is the prettiest boy in the Class. He used to play foot-ball, but found it necessary to discontinue that part of his course in order to give all his time and energy to his practice in the Supreme Court. Of late he has lived the simple life, and his course has run smooth and unperturbed. His religious affilia- tions will prevent him from being President. Roy| A. ' Cox,[LL.B., ' Augusta, Kas. Loquacity is ever-running and well-nigh in- curable. His strong and diversified qualities in politicsTmake him a natural leader of men. (Joke.) ♦ In fact, everything said of him should be in the ' superlative. Chas. MaxwEIvIv ' Blackmar, LL.B., Kansas City, Mo. Charley is one of the promising Solons which the Law School will turn loose upon the public this spring. He has made a brilliant record here, and in debate and as toastmaster of the Law ban- quet last fall he has accomplished no mean dis- tinction. Charley is a thorough good fellow, and is popular in the Law School, and in the Univer- sity as well. James T. Jennings, LL-B., Nickerson, Kas. J. Thomas is one of the hard-working law stu- dents who will make a success of his profession. He always sees the brightest side of things. ' and even found the study of Roman Law a pleasure. He is at present editor of The Legal News, of Douglass County. John Martin Childress, Tenn. LL. B . , Manchester , To Tennessee is due the credit of producing J. M. To look at him and watch his actions, you would never know that he came out of the South, for he shows up with the best of us. He was a stranger and we took him in, and we have nev- er been sorry for it. Though he is not affiliated with any religious sect, he has recently shown a great tendency toward Neil-ing. Thomas F. Kas. Countryman, LL.B., Wakeeney, True to his name ; a leader in fashions and ex- tremely good-looking. Argues with exceptional ability on all matters of issue. Will make a model justice of the peace. i. Albert M. Sul livan, LL.B., Louisville, Kas. Cum laudum. Sully comes to us from Louisville (Kansas, not Kentucky). He likes a joke immensely, provided it is not on himself. Is a Democrat by birth and a student by ne- cessity. Special distinction, midnight eluci- tions. 1 1 4mi John A. Flemming, LL.B., Lawrence, Kas. Flemming came to us from the State Normal, where he took a course preparatory to the study of Law. He has been with us but two years, and if we had had him one year earlier, he could not have left us with much greater honor. He is a quiet, unassuming fellow, but one of the best stu- dents in the Senior Class. Here ' s to his success. Fr. nk Drake, LL.B., Emporia, Kas. Jurisprudence gun, athlete, society broker, laundry magnate, and newsboy, he recognizes no superior. SandOr James Vigg, LL.B., Alva, Okla. Here is a notable example of the man with a purpose. Take a gix)d Uxik at him, for he is one of a rare species. His j)lans for the future specify that he will build up a practice and then ?;et married. However, although he has thus ar carried out his ideas, we are afraid that in this case the order may be slightly reversed. ( Calvin G. Cook, LL.B., Lorraine, Kas. Born, raised, and lived at Lorraine, Kas., until his advent to K. U. He is one of the- most mod- est men in the Class, and is an earnest student. He does not go in heavily for society or politics, but has always fought heart and hand for the glory of ' 08. William Edward Eddy, LL.B., Abilene, Kas. A Milo in physique, a Plato in intellect, like Antony of old, when about to reach the goal of success, he ruthlessly flings aside his friends and worldly ambitions for his Cleopatra, the Queen. Lester B. ManlEy, LL.B., Junction City, Kas. Although he comes from Junction City, he is quite bright and intelligent. By a little work and much working of the instructors, he has suc- ceeded in accumulating an enviable collection of .s. Given a free rein, would become famous as a poet, author, preacher, or lawyer. Harry W. Hart, LL.B., Newton, Kas. Having read Law in an office, Harry came to us last fall to receive the finishing touches with the ' o8s. If industry, study, and meditation will make a lawyer, we may expect to see his name in the future ranked high in his cho en profession. Raymond F. Rice, LL.B., Lawrence, Kas. Though he has b een with us only this last year, Rice has proven himself to be of a well-primed species of gun. He came to us charged with a store of excellent knowledge, and if use breeds habit in a man, he is on the way to success, for he is sincere, industrious, and a gentleman. Eugene W. Grant, LL.B., Emporia, Kas. E. W. is a general favorite in the Law School. Besides receiving honorable mention from the State Bar Association and in his practice before the Supreme Court of Kansas, he has become the idol of Dr. Moore. He expects to continue fur- ther the study of the Law of Nations. His present jjosition of trust is that of foster-father. Bertram T. Worrall, LL.B., Idana, Kas. The picture opposite is not a reproduction of Apollo. It is, however, a true reproduction of our patrician, Spevins. He is not a Demo- crat, but nevertheless, possesses the distinction of being the politest man in the Class. Chester- field, of Idana. « i Fred O. Martin, LL.B., Altamont (somewhere in Kansas). F. O. is the orator and singer of the Class. He has been ever ready in all our rampages to fur- nish us entertainment in the way of stump- speeches and songs. His voice is like the roll of many waters, and as an orator he is seldom excelled. He is a politician by instinct and a strong advocate of prohibition. In, fact the only thing thas can be said derogatory to his char- acter is that he has periodic attacks of love. Prospective political manager of Grant Homaday. Charles D. Ise, A.B., A.M., LL.B., Downs, Kas. Charley is another one of those who has recog- nized the impracticabiUty of a literary education in a substantial world. After receiving his A.B. degree in ' 05, he taught school for a year, but, finding that he needed more of the world ' s wis- dom, he returned, and now feels competent to work out his own existence. WendelIv W. McCanlES, A.B., LL.B., Lincoln, Kas. Mac does the graduating stunt every year; last year was his first in the University. He came out with an A.B. This year he began his Law course with a few advanced credits, and, although he taught Public Speaking, and was quarantined for diphtheria, he hopes to finish in time to run for county attorney at home. He is a living example of a hot air artist and grafter combined. AsaW. Lucas, LL.B,, Admire, Kas. Then it came to pass that one Asa, sumamed Lucas, formerly a student at the State Normal, joined us in the fall of ' 06. Lucas is a thorough student and has many friends in the Law School, and in the University as well. Edwin T. Coulter, Pittsburg, Kas. Red, as he is familiarly known, has made many friends among both sexes, but lately has found out where he is at, and gee, what a case ! First gained renown upon the foot-ball field, and later became noted as a Law student. i fe Stanley I. Myers, LLB., Fort Scott, Kas. Stan is not lazy, but he is just simply suffering from congenital fatigue. His grin and foot-ball record have made him a marked man in the University (see Eligibility Committee). Not even his sad experiences with K. U. politics have been able to rob him of his famous Quaker Oats expression. Here ' s luck to the man with a smile. C iAPEL EXERCISE AT GREEN HALL. ' H, H Middle Laws. Betwixt and between ; just half-way to the goal. When once a Middler, there is no turning back — we know too much to quit, and not enough to get the coveted LL-B. We are pushed by the Juniors and pulled by the Seniors; Httle effort on our part being required. Time alone will tell the destiny of the Middle Laws, but should Fortune follow us as auspiciously in the year to come as she has during our first two years, then indeed shall we do naught to dishonor our Alma Mater. Although nothing especially wonderful signalized our debut as Juniors, we could, if so disposed, rest on the laurels we won during the year. So often have we been told by the Faculty of our excellent showing as a Class, that it causes no distention of the cranium on our part to hear it again. In Athletics and other school organizations we are the most hearty supporters. We contribute to the Foot-ball, Track, and Base-ball Teams several stars, among whom are Captain Pat Crowell, Swede Carlson, Tub Reed, Sprouty Porter, Billy Rice, Harley Woods, and Gibbs. We are about sixty in number, and range in our ages from i8 to the ad infin- itum. For wit, learning, and eloquence, the Middles cannot be surpassed, and we are confident that in some future day, perhaps in the next hundred years, there will be some of us who will attain positions that unquestionably will guarantee the fame and fortune of our Alma Mater. As it were. Junior Laws.    President E. E. Haney. Secretary C. C. Merillat. Treasurer J. L. Emerick. Vice-President A. D. McCleverty. The records of the different classes in the Annuals consist largely of adjectives, mostly superlatives. The style is decidedly heroic. This is unfortuante, because when a really remarkable class enters the University, its record expressed in fair and ordinary terms will resemble that of all those that have gone before. While any class can be eulogized, however, few can claim the distinction of doing things like the Junior Laws have done. They exhibit a rare combination of hard work and good times. They are the kind that make their presence felt; they are the only Class on the Hill that had enough spirit this year to pull off a really scrappy election and the subsequent jollifications that should follow such an event. In every phase of University activities, the Junior Laws have more than their share of representation. Half of the Freshman Foot-ball Team were Law s. In other Freshman Athletics they were equally conspicuous. In the Inter-State Debates, in the Dramatic Clubs, in the Musical organiza- tions, and in everything open to them, the Junior Laws were represented by men who prove that this Class does things. CO Oh o X CO o i • i The New Engineering Building. The Senior Engineers are glad to record that the group of new Engineering Buildings has been commenced within their time. They wish to congratulate he members of the other classes upon their immediate prospects in the years to come, while they regret their inability to share in the increased advantages coming to student life through their construction. The Main Engineering Building is now under construction and is under roof. This is a large four-story building, 64x186 feet, with a wing 29x56 feet. It con- tains fifty-s X rooms, and is designed largely for recitation, drawing-room, and office purposes. It will be better provided with offices for instructors than any other building on the Campus. There will be six drawing-rooms with two hundred and fifty drawing-tables, most of which are of new design, with cabinets and draw- ers for the students ' tools and drawing-boards. The building c nt:ins a library re cm, into which it is expected to move the engineering books from the general library, and which will easily accommodate fifty or sixty readers. There will be two blue print rooms for sun printing, and one dark room for electric printing. One large room, seating about four hundred people, will be used for large classes and lectures. This will be seated with portable chairs, so that the floor space can be used for such social functions as belong to the School of Engineering. One large room will be devoted to lockers for the safe-keeping of engineers ' instruments. It is not designed to maintain Engineering Laboratories in this building, al- though for the present it will hold four of them, the Testing, Cement, Road, and a small Sanitary Laboratory. There will be a toilet-room on each floor, and an electric elevator for the conveyance of heavy articles, extending through the four floors. The top floor will be used largely for drawing purposes and all the rooms will be lighted by large skylights. The building will be heated both by direct radiation and by forced draught, which will furnish a complete system of ventila- tion. The cost of the building will be about $90,000. The second new building, to be built next year, is a combination of a Power House with a Mechanical Engineering Laboratory. This will be a one-story build ing, with a roof of the saw-tooth type, and lighted through skylights from the north. This is a new style of construction for Engineering Laboratories, and it has proven very satisfactory wherever used. This will be about 100 feet square, and is to be so located on the ground that additional laboratory units, of about 50x100 feet, can easily be added. This building will cost approximately $25,000. Into these two buildings will go an equipment costing about $85,000. This includes a new Power Plant and a large amount of new and expensive machinery for the mechanical, testing, and other laboratories, the book-stacks, tables for the reading-rooms, tables for the drawing-rooms, apparatus for the blue print rooms, lantern for the lecture-room, and the general lighting and furnishing of the building as a whole. The third building, to cost with its equipment about $50,000, the de tailed plans for which are not yet ready, will be built next year for the Department of Mining and Economic Geology. This will probably be situated just west of the Robinson Gymnasium. The Engineering students, who make the second largest School of the Univer- sity, have waited for these new developments for several years. When expecta- tions are turned into realities, there can be but one result, viz: a pleasanter and more efficient student life for Engineers than has ever been possible heretofor on the crowded third floor or the unfinished attic of Eraser Hall, or in the holes in the ground under the Chemistry Building or the Shops. 6— K Frank Olin Marvin, 4 K I ' , 2H, 4 BK A.B. 1871, A.M. 1874 (Allegheny), Dean of the School of Engineering, and Professor of Civil Engineering, 1882; 1875. 6%— K The Engineers.  The Engineers of the University are organized as a School, and at present have the following officers: Carl Ball President. Albert P. Learned Vice-President. Ben Hennessey Secretary and Treasurer. THE ANNUAL BANQUET AND THE SMOKER. December loth, for the eighth time, the Engineers laid aside their blue flannel shirts and high-topped boots, that they might more easily forget the grind of their daily life. Robinson Gymnasium for the first time echoed with Hyperbolic paraboloid, etc. The stern, grim look that so often besets the features of the care-burdened Engineers was replaced this night by the look of a lighter spirit, which was in evidence everywhere as the two hundred and fifty men filed slowly into the dining-hall. Some men meet on occasions of this kind to stuff and gorge themselves, and leave the really enjoyable part of life to those more broadly balanced by cultiva- tion and education. The Kansas Engineers w ' ho met on this memorable night by their ready wit and wineless gaiety showed themselves to be of the latter class. Promptly at 9 o ' clock, according to the program, the eight-course dinner started, and a jolly feast was on till eleven. Professor Cady, as Toastmaster, then took charge of affairs, and with a fine list of speakers — both Professors and practical men — he was able to keep the crowd interested and amused till about three a. m. Toasts were serious and funny, and all were enjoyed. As a result of the Banquet, the Engineers found themselves ahead about $75, and decided in meeting that they would have a smoker. The idea was carried out, and as a consequence was seen the first Engineers ' Smoker. On March 5th, in the Y. M. C. A. halls, the Engineers held their first Smoker. The evening was filled with fun from the time when Bozell with the piano and Forter with the voice started the series of songs that caused so much excitement on Massachusetts Street. At 9 :30 the singers adjourned to the upstairs hall, and partook of the sandwiches and coffee that were there in unlimited quantities. Smoking then v, ' as in order. As everyone livened up, a hot-hand game was started and barn-dancing later, and then the Virginia reel. At 10:30 Sam Forter, as Toastmaster, took charge, and the talks of all varie- ties from Alpha (Hennessey, Young, Marvin) to Omega (Bozell, Rice, Newton, Walker, Corpe, Ball, Caldwell, Kackley, Gowans, and Anderson), amused and en- tertained the crowd till long after midnight. Sam a. Forter, B.S., Marysville, Kas. BQII; Class President ' 05-06; Junior Farce ' 06; The Pirates of Penzance ; Patience ; Foot-Ball ' 06-07. Sam is another one of those who grew tired of ' 07 and decided to finish with ' 08. On the grid- iron he kicked himself to fame; however, he is not considered a kicker in other Hnes. Sam is a good leader, and should make a success in the future with the assistance he now has. Fred Coston, ' B.S., Nome, Alaska. German Club. The only reason Fred was ever late to an 8 o ' clock class was that as steward he was detained to order the German Club groceries. He is not the laziest man in his Class; Stan Meyers beat him by one vote. Fred has always maintained that not everyone who comes from Alaska is an Escjuimau, but of course his appearance cripples his argument. Fred is chiefly famous for his regular attendance at Mining Journal, and his wide-awake, studious disposition. Harry B. Smith, B.S., Lawrence, Kas. Harry is a living tribute to the truth of that old adage, It ' s never too late to mend. When Mrs. Smith t(X)k charge of him, Harry was actual- ly studying Electrical Engineering. She put him over into the School of Mines, and — well, just lcx)k at him to-day: the only real authority — except Harvey Elledge — on the Cobalt District. His rule in this life is Never rub the Professor the wrong way. Frank M. Cortelyou, B.S., Muscotah, Kas. 2N; SE. Frank is one of the big guns in the Class, and will leave with as high honors as anv man has ever left this University. He is admired by the Faculty for his exceptional ability, and is liked by his classmates because of his willingness to help along in everything, from stiff problems to Class scraps. Frank is a good all-around man and one from whom we expect great things. Jonathan B. Rieman, B.S., Kansas City, Kas. German Club ; President Civil Engineering So- ciety ' 06 ; Junior Farce ; Junior Prom Commit- tee ' 06; S2nior Play. It is of little consequence when Dutch start- ed in at this school, and from whence he came; the chief point is that he leaves us this year to go out and conquer the engineering world. He has mixed in with his work enough experience to make him an old head among us. This, how- ever, has not prevented him from having the best of fun at all times, in spite of hard study and con- scientious work. E. J. ThiELE, Washington, Kas. President E. E. Society ' 08. Ernest will be back next year to clean up some odds and ends in his school work, but he is grad- uating with the Class of which he is proud, and whose distinction is due in part to Ernest ' s loyal work. Thiele is probably the most honest and conscientious worker in the ' 08 Class, and may success crown his commendable efforts. Ed White, B.S., Lawrence, Kas. Ed is the workin ' kid. He is simply a glut- ton for work. This, coupled with the fact that he is by nature a sensible fellow, makes Ed one of the sure enough guns of the school. Ed really belonged to the ' 07 Class, but he was out of school a year. We are truly glad to have him with us, even if he did get somewhat obstreper- ous one memorable May Day and cause us to wind the toils about him. Wm. G. Lank, B.S., La Crosse, Kas. 2H ; K. U. Band ' 03-04, M. E. Society ' 05-06. ' 04-05; Vice-President Bill was one of the great warriors of the Classof ' 07, but, upon careful consideration, he, too, dropped out a year in order to graduate with this great Class. Bill is one of the old heads among us, having had several years ' engineering experience, the last year ' s being with the Santa Fe. Bill is a hard student, and has always shown everyone that he came here for business. Thos. [Hambleton, [ B.S., Herington, Kas. Tommy is a student and a ground-gainer. He is grading Physics papers on the side now, and he will probably teach a class in Physical Chemistry next year. With the wisdom of a Steinmetz, with the eloquence of a Law, and the dignity of an Engineer, he will return to the haunts of his youth, Herington, and run the electric light plant. Walter T. Stuart, B.S., Lawrence, Kas. Y. M. C. A. Up to the present time the Senior Electrical Engineers have been unable to establish any relationship between Ross R. and W. T. The resemblance between these two men, who bear the same name, though they spell it differ- ently, is marked, although they both deny it ve- hemently. Walt belonged to the ' 07 Class, but he was out of school a part of a year and will graduate under ' 08 colors. He showed good judgment in selecting his graduating Class . and the Class is glad to claim him. Ross R. Stewart, B.S., Kansas City, Mo. vSub. Glee Club ' 06. B. I. has always been very busy, for, in ad- dition to his regular course, he has been obliged to carry on most of the original research work for the University. He will be greatly missed (?) by this institution. Luther Barnes, B.S., Lawrence, Kas. Luther is one of the chosen few who upon re- entering the University for the fifth year ' s work receive the coveted degree of P.S.B. He has always been a good class man in our Class as well as his own, and has always lieen ready to help in any University affair, from a Class scrap to a hos- pital association. Richard N. Priest, Chanute, Kas. Invitation Committee for Junior Prom; Track JTeam ' 06-07; Captain ' 08; Athletic Board ' 08; Senior Play. Dick came to us from Chanute, and during his stay here has helped trim Missouri regularly in the half-mile. He has been a good fellow among the boys, always ready for anything bear- ing on fun, and has been a most loyal supporter of Athletics. Asa student he is among the best and will make an engineer of great ability. The Class of ' 09 will be fortunate enough to have Dick with them next year, so he says. Walter Sippy, B.S., Belle Plaine, Kas. The oldest son of Mrs. Sippy; came to us in ' 04, and has been quiet and busy ever since. He is, in spite of his quiet, bashful nature, one of the good fellows of the Class, and has earned a high place in the hearts of both professors and students alike by his absolute earnestness in all he under- takes. Lloyd E. Russell, B.S., Lawrence, Kas. HDDti ; Y. M. C. A.; C. E. Society; Class Basket-Bail Team ' 07-08; Sub. ' Varsity Basket- Bail ' 07; Junior Prom Committee ' 06. Lloyd is another of the also ran of the Class of 1907. To the average person he is a quiet, un- assuming, good-natured, hard-working student, who is somewhat oblivious to the outside world, but to us who know him, and have been associat- ed with him for the past four or five years, he pre- sents a character of the highest mark, and one that is bound to help fellow-men wherever they are brought in contact with it. Ed Gelwix, B.S., Thayer, Kas. $K ; 2H. Sec ' y.-Treas. Engineers 1905-6; V-Pres. C. E. Soc. 1907; Eng. Banq. Com. Ed came to K. U. in 1903, when a mere youth, and has spent most of his time since here in studying Engineering. As a result, he is among the highest in the Class as a student, and one of the good fellow kind of guns. Ed has always been in for anything where there was a joke or a little fun connected, and is one of the best-liked men in the Class. Ed gives excellent promise of a brilliant future, and we will undoubt- edly hear great things of him in a few years. Jr Harold V. Bozell, B.S., Kansas City, Mo. B0n ; 2H ; The Athenian Senate ; Masque Club ; French Play ' 05-06; Debating Council ' 06; Glee Club Pianist ' 06-07, ' 07-08; Sophomore Com- mittee; Junior Sociil Committee; Chmn. Eng. Banq.Com. ; Junior F-irce; S.nior Farce; Busi- ness Miniger ' 08 Jayhawker. The busiest man on the Hill. The only Uni- versity organization that Boze did not make was the Girls ' Glee Club. As a man, student, or good fellow, Boze ranks among the highest, and is so regarded by the Faculty and students alike. He is a good all-round man, and one to whom the University as well as the Class of ' 08 will be glad to point out and say, He is one of Ub. Everett Copley, B.S., Kansas City, Mo. 2H; Glee Club ' 05-06; The Pirates of Pen- zance ; Junior Farce; Patience ; Oread Club; Junior Prom Committee; Senior Play Committee; S- nior Farce. No, miss, little Everett is not married, even though he wears a wedding-ring. Cop, who is one of the brightest men in the Class, is an Electrical Engineer. He early showed tendencies toward the electrical and has been a faithful follower of the profesh ever since. He was formerly Little Everett, who lived with his par- ents in Kansas City. He is now E. Copley, Electrical Engineer, Boston. J. L. Harvey, B.S., Salina, Kas. Pesky has always worked well, but since The Try-Out, he has done even better. Jim T,ess possesses great skill in handling electrical instruments and applying Harvey ' s correction constants. He has not neglected the social life at K. U. He has fought a noble battle, and welcomes the loss of blood. i Rali ' H L. I ' eaglES, B.S., Buffalo, Kas. Levi is one of the mo st thoroughly edu- cated men in the Class. He has one distinction which is uncommon to most people — that of having everyone his friend. As a social star he was a complete success. It will be a long time before any of us forget his jovial good nature and good fellowship. Ridnour says, Add, ' Nobody loves a tub. ' Robert C. Kent, B.S., Lawrence, Kas. Bob is a very quiet, unassuming fellow, but nevertheless he is a good student and a good fellow. If Bob ' s opinion does not agree with yours, you had better think it over carefully be- fore you denounce him as wrong. His opinions and results are generally correct. About the only reproach that can be brought against Bob is the fact that he haunts the Chemistry build- ing incessantly. Charles Hoffman, B.S., Elmo, Kas. Vice-President Class ' 05-06-07; Y.M. C . A. ' 04; Base-Ball Pitcher Huffey, as he is familiarly known, first gained renown upon McCook Field as a slab artist and a sticker of the highest rank in the spring of ' 05. Since then he has proven himself not only a sticker in the base-ball phraseology, but a sticker in his studies too. In politics Charley had friends upon both sides, and, unable to decide which crowd to join, his career was meteoric. Archie J. Weith, B.S., Ida, Kas. 2H. Another from the oil and gas country, but he doesn ' t look much like a greaser. Arch has a great liking for CH3 CH2 CH2 CH2 COOCH3 and C2 H5 COOC2 H5 and others of this class, and has become quite a friend of His Presence, the papa of Chemistry II; is even recognized by the above as a gun. As a chemical engineer, we are sure of a successful future for Archie, J. H. Davidson, B.S., Lawrence, Kas. Band ' 04-05-06. Davy has spent a great part of his time in blowing Boola Boola from the bleachers on McCook Field. This last year, however, he has been so busy that we have very rarely seen him. However, we know he has been working to some end, and some day we expect to hear great things of him in engineering spheres. Frank H. Blackmar, B.S., Kansas City, Mo. K ; Kansan Board ' 04-05; Assistant Busi- ness Manager Kansan ' 05-06; Business Mana- ger Kansan ' 06-07; Junior Prom Committee ' 07; Captain 1908 Class Foot-Ball Team. It has been said that Frank Blackmar once had a good job at Kansas City, but quit it, and came up to K. U. to raise the standard of the School of Mines. By a politic appreciation of his instructor ' s funny stories, Frank has man- aged to run the business end of the Kansan for one term, and still get the requisite number of grades. He abandoned his life-long ambition to become an expert ore-dresser only when confront- ed with indisputable evidence that the job called for more than a cheerful disposition and lots of nerve. The only man in his Class who has been able to conduct a really strenuous case with- out letting his friends know it. Herbert W. Rankin, B.S., Albuquerque, N. M. The only man who ever became so studious as an Engineer that his case attracted the atten- tion of Dean Templin as well as Dean Marvin. It is said that Herb knew Alice of Old Vincen- nes, and later he was with Alice in Wonder- land. Certain it is that to-day he is the only man who can authoritatively ask, Alice, where art thou going? As to the future, we have great hopes for Herb — and Alice. Wallace E. Pratt, B.S., Phillipsburg, Kas. r Z ' - Eng. Banq Com. Wallace has had two ambitions — to get through and to fool the world out of a living afterwards. Allan Wayne Dodge, Lawrence, Kas. President Senior Class; Assistant Business Manager Kansan ' 06; Business Manager ' 07; Circulation ' 07-08; ' Varsity Foot- Ball ' 07; Class Base- Ball ' 05-06-07-08; Class Basket- Ball ' 06- 07; Junior Prom Committee. When Allan arrived at the University, he first enrolled in Politics and has followed the course four years. At brief i)eriods during this time he has studied Engineering and has recently answered the call of the Chancellor to the Permanent Stu- dent Body. W.e would warn the Class of ' 09 to watch him during the political season 1 Sam Ainsworth, B.S., Lyons, Kas. Famous for attending strictly to his own bus- iness. Despite the fact that Sam hails from the salt district, he was wonderfully fresh during the early part of his college career. He has one more year at K. U., and we sincerely recommend him to the Class of ' og. R. Benedict Lee, B.S., Hutchinson, Kas. That Benedict in Lee ' s name doesn ' t mean anything — yet. We first knew this Hutchinson Engineer as a Sophomore who yelled, Fresh- men, stick to your pole ! We liked that yell and stuck to Lee. That is the reason he consented to be a P.S.B. and graduate with the Class of ' 08. Next June, as a civil engineer, he will be repeat- ing his part of the stick, stuck advice in real life. Frank A. Russell, B.S., Peabody, Kas. Civil Engineer Society. Russell is one of the silent men of the Class who does a great deal of thinking and an equal amount of good hard studying. Contrary to the general impression, he is not married, and asserts em- phatically that his henpecked look is not due to any matrimonial affairs, past or future. He has been a good student and a brilliant future as an engineer is surely in store for him. Harvey G. Elledge, B.S., McCune, Kas. K. U. Orchestra; K. U. Band; Senior Earce. Elledge hails from McCune. He has been the nucleus around which Professor Skilton has built the Orchestra four successive years. He is one of the Engineers who loves Chemistry II. and incidentally H. P. Cady. He has brilliant pros- pects, both in Engineering and matrimony. Cecil A. Forter, Marysville, Kas. Manager Junior Prom; Chairman Senior Play Committe e; Class Base- Ball ' 06-07 ; Class Bas- ket-Ball ' 05; Class Foot-Ball ' 07; P.S.B.; Senior Play. Zeke, with his nineteen years, is the young- est man in the Senior Engineering Class. Besides passing Chemistry II. at the first jjerformance, he has found time to do his share in Class athlet- ics and politics. During his Junior year Zeke developed quite a case, which bids fair to be worse than that of his illustrious brother. C. L. Burt, B.S., Greensburg, Kas. Chairman Senior Invitation Committee. Red came to us as rather a matured man, and consequently his advice and counsel were highly valuable during our Freshman and Soph- omore years. He is probably now the political boss of the University, and has always been a true and loyal supporter of the University and Class affairs in Athletics, social life, and politics. In spite of all these, he is one of the best students in the Class, and if Red does not make good wherever he is placed, we will miss our guess. JoHX Curtis McCoy, Hiawatha, Kas. 4 A0; Track Team ' 06-07-08; Y. M. C. A. ' Tis better late than never. Mack was not one of the original ' o8ers, but, early recogniz- ing the brilliancy of this Class, decided to cast his fortunes with us. Mac has been more famed for si)rinting on the running track than to classes, but nevertheless managed to graduate with great credit to himself. Considering the fact that he comes from Brown County, Mac has made a great success of his University career, and we are j)roud to claim him as one of us. Jesse J. McShane, B.S., Gardner, Kas. Y. M. C. A.; President Johnson County Club ' 07-08 ; President C. E. Society ' 08. By dropping out one year, Mac managed to work it so he could graduate with this Class. As a (juiet and unassuming man he ranks first in the Class. He was always a reat man for Class af- fairs, either warlike or social, and as a supporter of University affairs had few equals. Mac has demonstrated the fact, by actual experience, that he will make good. Earl J. Wellington, B.S., Salina, Kas. Duke has no time for trifling when he is on the Hill for the purpose of working. However, he has whiled away a few hours in the social whirl of University life. He has been a hard worker and a good student and will make an elegant alumnus for the University of Kansas. Chandler C. Dudley, B.S., Independence, Kas. Dud is another one who has come to us from the Class of 1907, and, judging from his size and the shape of his lower jaw, he must have had a little to do with some of the Class scraps in olden days. Dud is a hard and conscientious worker, and one of the best fellows in the Class, and an engineer in every sense of the word. Wm, Pirschell, B.S., Holliday, Kss. Bill started in to graduate in the fall of 1902, but he waited until now to find a class to graduate with that suited him exactly. Bill can get in- to more devilment in the five minutes between classes than any other man in the University. As expert marksman with chalk, he ranks second only to Tad Ellis. In spite of his broad vein of wit and humor, Bill is one of the best stu- dents in the Class, and, for all any Professor knows, he never committed a misdeed since he has been at K. U. IvOREN Ames, B.S. Base-Ball ' 03. Ames was pitching and winning games for Kansas University when most of us were still in High School, but he, too, chooses this Class with which to leave his Alma Mater. His experience as an engineer, his studious inclinations, his gen- ial manner, and his excellent character, all assure him of a high place in the engineering profession. Charles O. Boynton, B.S., Kansas City, Kas. C. E. Scxriety, One of the youngest men in the Class, Charlie ranks among the oldest and wisest in the use of the slide-rule. He claims to be able to tell his future wife ' s name by means of the logarith- mithic table on the back of his slide, and, judg- ing by his p)ast records, we shall expect great things from him and his slide-rule. Charlie has always been a hard and close student, a loyal Class man, a good fellow, and he is bound to make a record after he leaves school. Carl Trowbridge, B.S., Argentine, Kas. Carl is a man who entered the University as a Freshman and who by his own effortsjrose in the world till to-day he bears lightly the dignity of a Senior. He is the junior member of the firm, Rankin Trowbridge, Consulting Mining En- gineers, and deser ' es his share of the success that has come to that firm. The advent of Carl Trowbridge at K. U. settled, once for all, that old question, Can any good thing come out of Argentine? WiLTox A. Vaughn, B.S., Marion, Kas. C. E. Society, Vaughn came to us from the home of our own Governor Hoch, and reads the Marion Record with clock-like regularity. He has always been a hard student, and has always worked for results. Although of a quiet nature, he is as ready for a good joke as any man in the Class. Contrary to the general belief, he is not married. Charles V. Chapin, B.S., Council Grove, Kas. 2E; C. E. Society. Chape is without doubt the most modest and unassuming man in our Class. He stands among the best in the Class as a student, and his ability is recognized by Faculty and students alike. He is one of that kind of guns who is always as ready to help a classmate along or to enjoy a joke as to dig into a deep problem in Mechanics or Calculus. He has always been a loyal supporter of University enterprises, and has lots of Class spirit, and no one in our Class gives more promise for a brilliant future than Chape. Herbert Luther, Lawrence, Kas. ATO ; ' ©NE ; Sophomore Social and ' ' Sophomore ' Committee. For the first three years of our college-Hfe Herb was into Class affairs up to his ears, and in University Hfe above his head, but for some unknown reason he left us for one term. Rumor has it that the reason he quit school and went to work was because — well, no matter, he is with us again, and assures us he will return next year to help keep the University going. Harry M. Johntz, Abilene, Kas. Y. M. C. A. ; Engineering Society. Harry came to the University from the town made famous by Dick Waring and Charles M. Harger. With the handicap of all that, Harry has been able to stay in school, and while he would like to bid farewell this year, he has for other reasons finally decided to stay another year. We recommend him very highly to the next Class. Clifford Corp, B.S., Hutchinson, Kas. Class Treasurer Society ' 07. ' 07-08; Vice-President M. E. A man with a smile. With his ever-ready wit and genial good nature Corp is a promising candidate for the Sunshine Club. Hutchinson claims him proudly as one of her native sons and is expecting great engineering achievements of him now that he has completed his course at the University. Corp has been one of the loyal work- ers of thejClass, and was entrusted with her fin- ances the last year. He is famed for his skill in- waxing Gym floors. Kersey G. Williams, B.S., Kansas City, Kas. 2H; President C. E. Society ' 07. Kirk has been one of the guns of the Class — and is without doubt the hardest and one of the most conscientious workers in the school. In spite of his hard work at his books, he has al- ways been ready to enjoy a good joke or prank, and was as ready to cut classes with the bunch as any of us. He is one of our alumni of whom we have a right to expect great things, because he enjoys the great distinction of being the only man to graduate from the Engineering School of K. U with out taking Qual. Anal. Ben p. Young, B.S., Kansas City, Kas. A©; Base-Ball ' 04-05, ' 05-06, ' 06-07, ' 07-08; Captain ' 08. Ben does everything on scientific principles. His accurate knowledge of Geometry is always well displayed, even in his work on the diamond, whee he also uses his Physics to advantage. If science is successful in love-affairs, we predict a speedy termination of Ben ' s bachelor career. Walter Wolcott, B.S., Lawrence, Kas. In the class of Senior Electrical Engineers there are nineteen men, and each man has two feet. Walt belongs to this band of illustrious per- sonages, and enjoys the distinction of owning the two longest of those thirty-eight feet. Walt also has gcvxl horse-sense. He is one of the best men in the Class. There is probably no connec- tion between the length of his pedal extremities and his enviable good sense. Wylie Heter, B.S., Sterling, Kas. Wylie has been here four years. No one seems to know him very well, but it must be admitted that he has picked up a generous amount of infor- mation since he pitched his camp in K. U. town. It is difficult to get any condemning evidence against him. Perhaps the fact that he has board- ed four years at the Apple Butter Club will convict him. IvDWARD Hatch Freiburghouse, B.S., Hiawa- tha, Kas. Edward Ijelongs to the Hiawatha quota. He managed to finish the Mechanical and Electrical luigineering courses and still make a si ecialty of girlology. At least a dozen co-eds signify their v illingness to take up the whole name with or uithoui a hyphen. Roy E. Ridnour, B.S., Osawatomie, Kas. Junior Farce; Patience. As this article goes to press, Roy is showing himself that he can make one more . Roy is a hard worker, but no one appreciates a story better than he. Buster admits that he is not the brightest in the Class, but insists that as long as he is in good health no one can call him a fool even tho ' he hails from that district. Fred R. Johnson, B.S., Salina, Kas. Y. M. C. A. Swede ' s ability to stick to one thing consist- ently is shown by his devotion to Roy. Question, question, question, he never tires of asking ques- tions — ' Fessor, will the motor stop when it quits running? Tha ' ' s w ' at I wan ' t ' know. S. La Vern Palmer, B.S., Burdett, Kas. Orchestra ' 05-06-07-08. Pamer is no relation to Elledge, although l.c and Elledge both blow instruments in the Orchet,- tra that look like condensing coils. Ashton one time said that Pamer and Gowans would land in the Penitentiary, but the authenticity of the remark is now generally doubted. He is an Elec- trical Engineer, though he is familiar with such Civil Engineering terms as transits, rods, Jacob ' s staffs, cross-hairs, etc. Harry P. Broderson, B.S., Lyndon, Kas. Harry Peter belongs to that limited class of fellows for whom one ' s friendship is like wine — it increases rapidly with the vintage. Broad has one of the best balanced heads of the Class. He is not remarkably brilliant, but the knottiest problems usually succumb to him when he, with his pipe fogging beautifully, makes an attack on them. The 1908 Class is proud of Broad. 7— K Elmer Sigler, B.S., Kansas City, Kas. BQII; Manager Junior Prom ' 06; Junior Farce ' 06; Secretary and Treasurer Engineers ' 04-05; Class Base-Ball ' 04-05-06; Class Foot-Ball ' 04; Senior Play ' 07. Sig came to us as an inheritance from the Class of ' 07. In those days he was a political boss, but during the past year he has valued a degree more highly than politics. Elmer claims that he has thought little as to who is the most popular girl in our Class — but old-timers can tell you why. Elmer Noel, B.S., Pittsburg, Kas. C. E. Society. Elmer is chief paddle-wielder on the fifth floor, and all Freshman visitors can testify as to his ability along this line. He is equally skillful with Engineering problems, and as a conscientious student has few equals. He is Kirk Williams ' side-kicker, and we expect in the future to hear great things of the consulting engineering firm Noel Williams. Neil Coventry, B.S., Fort Scott, Kas. Track Team ' 08. Neil came from Fort Scott, but he simply kept quiet about it, and made the best of things, so that to-day he has nearly lived it down. Besides completeing his course in the School of Mines this year, Neil has been of great service to Chan- cellor Strong and George O. Foster in conducting the affairs of the University. Consult last year ' s Javhawker for the way the girl spells his name. Carl Rouse, B.S., Beloit, Kas. Class Foot- Ball ' 04-05; Captain ' 05; ' Varsity Foot- Ball ' 04-05-06-07; Captain ' 07. A doughty leader he. Carl has been one of the most prominent as well as most popular mem- bers of ' oH ever since he deserted Manhattan for the University. His prowess on the gridiron has entitled him to a niche in the Hall of Fame of K. U. fcK)t-ball stars. His (juiet, unassuming, yet forceful personality, together whh his skill in handling fcxit-ball teams, is only equalled by his ability in handling cases, or, rather, case. fr CIVIL ENGINEERING SOCIETY i and re- The Civil Engineering Society of the University of Kansas was founded in organized in 1907. The object of the Society, as reorganized, is to bring the students in touch with practical engineering works and with good engineering practice in general. To this end, a series of lectures are arranged for each year, to be delivered by prominent engineers. These lectures are frequently illustrated. The Society issues to each student joining a certificate of mem- bership, has a printed program of the year ' s work, and has a total membership of nearly one hundred. The following have spoken during the year: R W. Cirter, O. C. Le Seur, C. M Buch, J. L Harrington, I G. Hedrick, C S Burns, J. H. Fletcher, L. B Ash, E. E. Howard, Dr. W. L. Burdick, and J. A.

Secretary William F. Thiele. Vice-Pesidcnt Fred H. Winter. The Electrical Engineering Society of Kansas University was organized a year ago for the purpose of bringing the students of Electrical Engineering into closer touch with the progress made in electrical scienc?. So great was the interest shown by the members of the Society, that an appli- cation was made during the present school year for the establishment of a branch society of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. In its March session the American Institute authorized the establishment of this branch. This branch organization succeeds the Electrical Engineering Society. The first meeting was held on the evening of Thursday, March 26, 1908. Regular meetings are held every alternate Thursday. The m.ain feature of these meetings is the discussion of the proceedings of the Institute. THB SENIOR BLBCTRICAlvS. This year ' s graduating Class in Electrical Engineering is twice as large as any previous Class of its kind. They have hung together as friends and workers as none of the previous ones — so Prof, says — and since some of the graduates are not of Jayhawker, 1908 blood, they had their picture inserted in this book. m - A President Harry A. Gowans. Until the fall of 1907, membership to the Mechanical Engineering Society was limited to the members of the Junior and Senior Classes. At this time, how- ever, the Constitution was revised, and those enrolled in the lower classes were admitted as associate members. Three meetings each month are given over to magazine reviews. I ach mem- ber is assigned some popular Engineering magazine, and is expected to report on the leading articles in his magazine. One meeting each month is reserved for special talks; usually some prom- inent practical engineer is secured to address these meetings. The object of the Society is to bring the students into closer touch with the practical side of Engineering. During the past year some of the most prominent engineers in the West have addressed the Society. z Q H f i 1 History of the School of Pharmacy. In the early history of Kansas, the druggists and those interested in the drug business felt the need of some higher and better organized system of study. In 1867 the druggists of Kansas met and organized what is called the Kansas Phar- maceutical Association, for this purpose. They advocated persistently for a number of years, the installing of a chair of Pharmacy at the University of Kansas. In 1885 their efforts yielded fruit. The Legislature of that year provided that the Regents should at once establish a department of Pharmacy. The question that next confronted the Board of Regents was, ' ' Whom will we get to head this new institution? They discussed several different men, and finally decided that Dr. L. E. Sayre, of Philadelphia, was that man. The active school work began in September, 1886, in the south part of the basement of Fraser Hall. It was held here until the enrollment became so large that there was not room enough to accommodate the students, when it was moved to the Medical Building, where it remained until the Pharmacy and Chemistry Building was completed in 1899. Since then it has occupied the east wing of this building, which is well-equipped with large, airy laboratories and all the modern apparatus and chemicals. In the twenty-two years of its life, the School has grown from an enrollment of five to one of eighty-five. The increase of numbers between then and now is not out of proportion to the grade of work done. The School has grown until to- day it is one of the five best in the country. Since the enactment of the Pure Food and Drug Law of 1906, there has been equipped a laboratory especially for the analysis of foods and drugs sent to the School for analysis. This analytical work has been made a part of the course in Pharmacy. This will materially assist, not only the students, but the druggists and people in general over Kansas. Lucius EivMer Sayre, 2H.

Pharmaceutical Society. WELLS, NAMES, M ' KINLEY MARTIN. The Pharmaceutical Society of the University of Kansas was organized in 1886 for the purpose of promoting Pharmaceutical Science, the cultivation of good- fellowship among the students of the different classes, and to further their interest in current Pharmaceutical literature. In 1890 an adjunct to the Society, an employment bureau, was established. The object of this annex is to obtain desirable positions for responsible graduates and to supply reliable clerks to pharmacists. The active members of the Society consist of the students and instructors of the Pharmacy Department. Regular meetings are held bi-monthly, at which the business of the Society is transacted, and business and scientific topics of the profession are discussed. Officers are elected bi-annually, the President from the Senior Class and the Vice-President from the Junior Class. Attention is also paid to the social side of life. Several pleasant evenings were spent during the year; at one of these Mr. J. P. Raymond, of Kansas City, gave a very interesting lecture, illustrated with stereoptican views. OFFICERS. First Term.

History of Fine Arts School. « The School of Fine Arts is composed of the Eepartments of Music, Art, and Hlocution. In the beginning the instruction was by private lessons, and was not in connection with the University. The first work in the School was in the Department of Music, in 1 867-1868, under T. J. Clark. In 1875 the work was accredited in the University, and Miss Alice G. Boughton was elected a regular instructor in Instrumental Music. Under the efforts of Miss Boughton and Professor Marvin, a chorus was organized, a concert given, and the first piano owned by the school was bought. In 1884 Mr. Wm. McDonald was appointed Dean of the School, with Pro- fessor Hicks as assistant, and the first well-defined course in Music was established. Mr. McDonald continued as Dean until 1889, when he resigned and was succeded by Professor G. B. Penny, who served as Dean until 1903, when the present Dean, Charles S. Skilton, took charge of the work. During these years departments were organized. Professor C. A. Preyer now has charge of the Piano work, Dean Skilton of the Pipe Organ, Professor C. Edward Hubach of the Vocal, Miss Helen Phipps of the Violin, Professor Griffith of the Art, and Professor Frazier of the Elocution. With several assistants in each de- partment, the work in the School has increased rapidly, as has also the enrollment. The authorities of the University have noticed the growth and have added a third plank to the walk which leads to North College, but they have not been able to place enough chairs in North College, and not infrequently are the students com- pelled either to stand, sit in the windows, or on the floor. The School is deserving of a better building. With a new building, and the present Faculty, it should only be a question of a few years until we would have one of the best Fine Arts Schools in the West. Charles Sanford Skilton. A.B. 1899 (Yale).

We remember her first as a politician and a true worker for the Class of 1908. Few enter- prises in our Class have ever b een launched of which Kate was not one of the prime movers. She is one of the most if not the most popular girls on the Hill, and her voice, whether talking for a vote or leading a chorus, has won her many friends John W. Ise, A.B., Mus.B., Downs, Kas.

More details of the busy and successful career of our honored classmate are surely unnecessary. We fear that K. U. influence has been bad for him, since, while his ambition on entering was to become a minister, he now looks no higher than the Law for_j his] profession. Bessie Bowden, A.B. Lawrence, Kas. ' 05, Mus.B., P.S.B., Bessie certainly deserves three golden stars for persevering attendance. The eight distinct, separate, and successive years in our midst have undoubtedly ably fitted her for her life ' s work, and we can only wish her all success in pastures new. Viah May Cross, Mus.B., Hutchinson, Kas. Where there ' s a will there ' s a way. Viah has had a great many things to keep her back in her work; she has had several sick spells, and has had to drop out, but she possesses stick-to- it-iveness, and always wins. We are glad to call her a member of the Class of ' 08. Frances Houlton, Mus.B., Lawrence, Kas. Junior Farce; The Pirates of Penzance ; Patience. I just can ' t make my eyes behave. Frances would have made a successful flirt if a little spare energy had been used with that end in view. However, she has stuck to her music and has been content with only the average number of cases — a wonderful fact when one considers all the possibilities. Elda Clevenger, Mus.B., Lawrence, Kas. Y. W. C. A. ; Senior Farce. Elda is scarcely ever seen on the street alone. Once in a great while she walks a block alone, but is invariably met at the comer by a hand- some young man. She is a good student in spite of the fact that she has a dreadful case, and in the Class she never hesitates to ask for an explan- ation, if she does not see clearly the point in question. LiLA Arbuthnot, Mus.B., Belleville, Kas. Lula has been working too hard (?) and as a consequence had to drop her work this term ; but she (still) belongs to us just the same, and all our interests are still hers. She is very cjuiet, but she has always taken part in all elections and has shown a great interest in class and University affairs. Louise Fitch, Mus.B., Lawrence, Kas. Louise is the baby of our Class, not in actions, but in years. She is a precocious child, and her dignified way of copying the manners of her eld- ers successfully deceives the unsusi)ecting public. n f J V 1 U 1 F % • ,.,.-- s- H JPl ' j 3 Ik ' i m HiPI 1 1 ELEANOR TAYLOR BELL MEMORIAL HOSPITAL AND LABORATORY.

The institution has been improving, and we, the products of that improveme nt, hope to represent its higher standard. As Freshmen, we did not owe allegiance to any one school, nor did one epoch mark our origin. Each contributing institution claimed brilliant students, who easily filled all requirements and to whom real work was a pastime. As Sophomores, the various schools lost their identity; the pure cultures became contaminated, the colonies coalesced. The department of Physiology supplied a complex medium on which any species of plant of animal life might grow Upon this medium grew a dangerous and rapidly developing fungus — the Knocker. As Juniors, the Class first assumed its present form — a somewhat nondescript mixture, but not altogether incompatible. At this time we first became acquainted with practical medicine. As Seniors, the Class has stood well together. When occasion demanded, the proper medium was supplied to stimulate sophomoric spores to rapid growth and the mycelium of that fungus has invaded all departments; its virulency seems not attenuated by lapse of time. We have exerted much of our energy in the right direction ; we have acquired a rather extensive knowledge of Medicine, a limited knowledge of Surgery, and a smattering of hygiene. We make no fatuous claims to superiority; wise men know their limitations. Future improvements of our Alma Plater offer no excuse for retrogression. We represent the acme to-day; may future classes do better. The Senior Class offers no apologies, denies no tendency to effervesce when vio- lently shaken, and makes no claims except those substantiated by fact. John K. Harvey.

All he lacks in require- ments for a K. U. instructor is nose-glasses, six inches in stature, and six drach-ns of dignity; the gray matter is there. A. M. Garton, M.D., Sedalia, Mo. Carton was handed down to us as a precious relic from the Class of ' 07. He is said to be famous for his ability for bulling in, putting peo- ple to sleep, and entertaining the ladies. H. O. Leonard, M.D., Kansas City, Mo. President Junior Class ' 07. Slow to learn, and yet competent withal. A gcxxi student who will some day make a good physician. G. Leonard Harrington, M.D., Independence, Mo. His industry needs no comment ; his economy but a word: he Fletcherizes. His exemplary moral conduct and his restricted diet have placed him in a group by himself. We fear we may soon hear him singing, I want to be an angel. Chas. W. Haverkampf, M.D., Lawrence, Kas. Charley has roved the high seas so long that he takes naturally to the water. This quality has admirably fitted him for porter in the Rose- dale bath-house, where there are no bars but soap. 9— K = Sophomore Medics. « « « CLASS OFFICERS. R. E. Teall President. C. C. Ward Vice-President. P. S. TowNSEND Treasurer. MiNUETTE MuNDEUL Secretary. The Sophomore Medic Class in its brief career has distinguished itself in many ways, but our greatest claim to eminence is the success with which it has trans- formed itself from a state of weird heterogeneity into a harmonious whole. In the beginning our ranks were a sadly affected aggregation. One member had hypertrophy of the ego, another a bad case of opinionitis, several were suffering from pedagogical degeneration, hyperverbosity was rampant in another case, and most of the remainder were in an advanced state of chronic cerebral lassitude. But a wonderful change was soon evident and in a short time all were convalescent. Now a remarkable spirit of fraternity and good-fellowship prevails throughout. We have been a busy Class, but have not entirely neglected sports. Our favorite recreations have been racing for Emerson ' s equestrian trophy, and watch ing Joe and Zeke in their continuous one-act stunt, A Joke on Cupid. Our most eminent members are: our happy mascot, Little Arthur, Kin- ky, the Lofty Vocal Contortionist, and Tommy, the facetious one. We can mention but few of our many accomplishments. We are proud of our success in capturing and taming the Western Terror, until now even a child can approach him with impunity. We recently defeated our tardy emulators, the Freshmen Medics, at base-ball. And last, but not least, we have lately with un- daunted front boldly entered the mystic maze presided over by Dr. Hyde. We succeeded in threading safely our dangerous path between Kymographions and Inductoria with no fataUties. Phethysmographs could not defeat us, nor lurking reptile or frog cause us to flee. Although the end is not yet, we think that, judging by the progress already made, we are justified in our modest expectation of finishing our course two years hence as decidedly the best Class that has yet been seen on Mount Oread.

It was not until many wearisome days had been spent in the laboratories of the Medical School that the Freshman bunch began to realize that the physician ' s fees, which to them had always before appeared enormous, were nothing more than what he deserved. Most of the fellows had sized the medical course up as being a continuous round of pleasure interspersed with an occasional lecture. Finally, he was to go out from school and rake in the shekels from the suffering public. They soon learned, however, that before they could oppress others they must undergo a period of oppression themselves, and they began to lean on their work harder and to tear coupons from their laboratory books with much more complacency. One of the greatest obstacles in the way of the unsuspecting Freshman Medic is a lot of prevaricating Sophs who put him wise to all the ways of the dissecting- room and other equally mysterious places. It was not until the first term had been almost spent that he began to realize that he had been deluded. In the mean- while, he had been anticipating some direful sort of thing to occur which did not. It was hard for him to decide whether the Soph had been mistaken or had forgot- ten the particulars of those things which he told, but at last the truth dawned upon him, and he immediately lost faith in the crowd who could claim the supe- riority of being one step higher than he on the ladder which leads to fame. It was not long until he received his first reward. When spending the Christ- mas holidays at home, after three months of ceaseless toil, he told his folks much of what he had learned. His fame rapidly spread through the village as being a learned man, and all of the neighbor women in the community came over to visit his mother, and incidentally get some free medical advice. He was generous though, and willingly told them how to guard against cancer, pneumonia, typhoid fever, and consumption. It was worth his while, for while he talked it was pos- sible to see an expression of satisfaction steal over the face of the dear old lady, as she thought how she was getting something for nothing from a doctor.. ' And now it appears as though his second reward will be when he gets a chance next fall to dupe the innocent bearers of high school diplomas who come in to begin on the hard and stony way which the present Freshman has already trod.

' 08 in Athletics. i? i n No Class has taken a more prominent part and has had more athletes than the Class of 1908. Its men have been prominent in every phase of University sport. ' oSers have been captain of the Foot-ball, Basket-ball, Bis. -Ball and Track Teams. It has on the University honor roll, the wearers of the K. more men than all the other classes of the University combined. While the entire Foot-ball Team deserved great credit for its work throughout the season, special mention should be made of the men of ' 08 who by their individual prowess and skill and by their years of gridiron experience proved to be the main- stays of the Team. No one did more for the success of the Team than Carl Rouse, of Beliot, the Jayhawkers ' Captain. A splendid defensive player, with no end of grit and fight, and a natural leader, the doughty Captain of ' 07 will stand high upon the list of Jayhawker leaders. The lamented Angney had few equals as a quarter- back. His sensational dodging, his bull-dog fighting spirit, made him the idol of the entire student body. Job White, the irrepressible Job, who for three years has held the right end of the line secure, was one of Kennedy ' s most trusty pupils. Billy Miller, the midget half-b. ck, a phenomenal player for his weight, could always be counted upon for a gain when it was most needed. Red Milton, the little center, bears the distinction of being the lightest man that has ever played that position. Tub Reed, with his massive weight and strength, has won a reputation as the strongest guard, both offensively and defensively, in the Missouri Valley. Sam Forter won undying fame by the work of his trusty right leg, and will go down in history as the hero of the ' 07 Kansas-Missouri contest. All these men belonged to the 08 contingent on the Foot-ball squad last fall. Jay Bond, who has played off and on for several years, and promises to be a star next year, entered with ' 08. A ' lan Dodge and Dick Priest both did good work as sub- stitutes this fall. Stan Myers, Dick Waring, Charley Ise, Virgil McCarty, Red ' ' Burt and Emile Brunner are all old gridiron stars have won their Ks at Foot-ball. In Basket-ball ' 08 is represented by the Miller brothers, Milton and Billy, one of the fastest pair of Basket-ball stars the University has ever known. Both have played four years on the team and have become recognized throughout the Missouri Valley as players of the highest caliber. In Track 08 is represented by Captain Dick Priest, the crack half-miler, and Young and Parker, both high jumpers — the best in the West. Besides these men on the Team this spring, the Class claims Milton Miller, holder of the Univers ty record in the mile and half-mile, and Wallace Hovey, a miler, both of whom ran last year. Captain Ben Young and Charley Hoffman represent the Class in Base-ball, bjth having played four years on the Team; Young at first base and Hoffman in the box and as a fielder and utility man. Both are tried hands at Base-ball and are the strongest members of the Team this spring. Haughey Angney, who is playing third this year, is also an 08. This is his first year on the squad.

The year ' 07-08 will long be remembered in the Athletic annals of the University as the most successful in every respect the University of Kansas has ever experienced. While the Athletic teams turned out during the year in the various departments of University sport were not always the proud winners of the Missouri Valley champion- ship honors, -they, without a single exception, reflected great credit upon the Uni- versity, not only for their prowess and skill, but also for being strong in the qualities of good sportsmanship and gentlemanness. The Jayhawker Athletic teams of the present year in Foot-ball, Basket-ball, Track, Base-ball, all have been good winners and, what is even- better, good losers. Financially, the year ' 07-08 has never been equaled. The Foot-ball season closed with a balance of more than $2,400 in the treasury. Even after the back debts and the extensive improvements had been paid for there was a tidy balance left in the treasury. Basket-ball, with the splendid new Gym, paid for the first time and firmly established itself as one of the leading University sports. The Con- vention Hall Track Meet was the usual paying proposition and insures the financial success of the entire Track season. With the attendance the early games have received. Base-ball is sure to pay for it?elf and the Athletic yeai promises to be a financial success in every department. To W. C. Landson, the Athletic manager, and the Athletic Board belongs much of the credit for the splendid financial showin g for the year. ; As far as standing and prestige among our sister Universities is concerned, the year of 1908 has seen the University of Kansas take a marked step forward. It has seen the establishment of the Missouri Valley Conference upon a firm, round basis which cannot help but do wonders for Athletics in this part of the country. In this Conference, Kansas has taken her due position as leader. If for n: thing else, the year 1907- 1908 will be remembered as marking the first successful workings of the Missouri ' alley Conference, which, while it may temporarily blunder in its efforts to purify Athletics in this section, will ultimately be one of the most potent forces in the Athletic world of the West. i Br-UNN tR. il ATHLETIC BOARD. .LI The University Coaches. ♦ Uncle Jimmy Green, the Coach of coaches, has been the patron saint o all and every branch of Athletics at the University as far back as the memory of man goeth. Again and again he has led the Kansas cohorts on to victory, and again and again it has been his sad duty to encourage them in the hour of defeat. Uncle Jimmy can always be found near when a loud Rock Chalk! Jayhawkl is given. His very presence seems to instill a fighting spirit in an Athletic team. Many years may he live to lead Kansas on to victory over her foes. Considering all circumstances, such as eligibility rules, schedules and materials, Bert Kennedy, the present head Coach of the Kansas Foot-ball squad, has been the most successful and most thoroughly satisfactory Foot- ball mentor K. U. has ever had. Fielding H. Yost ' s ever victorious eleven of ' 99, was the best team that ever battled for the Jay hawker colors, but coaches in those palmy days of Foot-ball were never bothered with eligibility rules. Kennedy is a K. U. product. He broke into the spot-light here in 1896, and captained the eleven in 1897. The following three years he played at the University of Pennsylvania, the last two years as regular quarter-back of their first team. After several years of successful coaching at Philidelphia, he came to Washburn in 1904, and defeated Kansas 5 to 9. The following year he was secured to coach the Kansas squad, and ever since he has been busy turning out victorious elevens here. Kennedy is a true sportsman and always has the good of the University at heart. He teaches his men to play fair and square and to take defeat like men. He has signed a contract to coach another twj yea ' S. Edward Eugene Parry, the assistant coach, came to Kansas from Chicago University, where he gained much renown both as a Foot-ball performer and as a stellar track man. Parry served as a scout and helped materially by teaching the enemy ' s style of play. Just out of College, he was full of the Foot-ball spirit, and worked with the men as one of them. C. P. Donald and Emile Brunner, the two veterans of last year ' s eleven, had charge of the Freshmen and helped Kennedy with the ' V arsity. Both are thorough ex- perienced students of the gridiron game, and were a great help throughout the season. To Phog Allen, of Kansas City, belongs no small share of the credit for pro- ducing the first championship Basket-ball squad the University of Kansas has ever turned out in years. Taking the men with the schedule already upon them, Allen, with his splendid system of coaching instilled new life into the Team, and as soon as they struck their stride they walked off with the Missouri Valley championship with ease. Phog is an old K. U. boy, winning his K here in Basket-ball on the ' 06 team. He is perhaps best known as star goal-thrower on the World Cham- pions K. C. A. C. five. Last year Allen coached at Baker, and this year, in addition to his work at the University, has tutored the fast Indian team at Haskell. J. P. Hagerman, the track coach, is one of the best all-around athletes in the United States. He is a record-breaker in the broad jump and hurdles. His coach- ing is characterized by the greatest enthusiasm and thoroughness. Considering the material he has at hand, he has done extremely well with the Kansas squad. With the new Gym as training quarters, he will turn out some record-breaking runners for Kansas. Dick Kaufmann, the Base-ball coach, came to the University last year from Springfield, where he pitched for the Drury College nine. Phenomenal work in the box early in the season for the Jayhawkers won him a berth as a professional and he played all the summer with the Springfield Team of the Western Association. This spring he has proven to be an excellent coach, handling the men like a veteran man- ager of years ' standing and putt ' ng a machine-like smoothness in their work. COACHES. i Ik The Athletic Management.   ' The past three years, under the efficient manage- ment of W. C. Lansdon, have seen Athletics at the University of Kansas established upon a firm and sound financial basis. Every branch of athletic sport has been made self-supporting, so that the large surpluses from the Foot-ball season can be applied to improvements on McCook Field and in the athletic equipment of the University. The present year has been the most suc- cessful financially the University has ever experienced. The Foot-ball season ended with a full treasury and the Basket-ball season still further increased this. To-day, for the first time in years and years, the University of Kansas Athletic Association is absolutely out of debt. To Manager Lansdon and the splendid work of the Athletic Board belongs much credit for the present financial status of K. U Athletics. MANAGER W. C. LANSDON. THE MISSOURI VAI LBY CONFERENCE- The present year has seen the definite formation of a Missouri ' alley Conference, which promises to do much for Athletics in this section of the country. Starting with Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, and Washington Universities, the Conference has been joined by Nebraska, Iowa State College, and Drake Universities, and now includes every school of the first rank in the Missouri ' alley. The Big Seven is modeled upon much the same plan as the Big Nine, and intends to establish a common set of rules and regulations and to put all Athletic teams in this part of the country upon on equal basis as far as possible. While the Conference is still somewhat of an experiment, it promises to do much in the way of binding the Missouri ' alley Schools closer together and in putting all branches of sport upon a hi ;h sound basis. One of the direct results of the establishment of the Conference, as far as th? University of Kansas is concerned, is the scheduling of a Foot-ball game for next fall with the University of Iowa, and the promise of games in future years with both Iowa State College at Ames and Drake University. Another feature of the Con- ference will be tlie holding of a big Missouri Valley Track Meet for the champion- ship honors. This will bring together the Ijest track men of the West and prmises to become the big annual event in the track world. F oa ' F CAPTAIN CARL ROUSE. RECORD OF THE SEASON.

A Tribute to the Foot=Ball Team.   ' The Foot-ball season of 1907 was not one of unbroken successes for the Jay- hawker warriors. Washburn, Nebraska, and St. Louis in turn triumphed over the Red and Blue on successive Saturdays, yet the splendid fighting spirit of the Team throughout, the never-say-die spirit which was so much in evidence in each of those hard -fought games did much to take away the sting of the defeat and will rank the ' 07 squad as o ne of the best that has ever represented the University of Kansas on the gridiron. And the Missouri game. No tail-twisting performance ever seemed quite so sweet as that staged at St. Joseph when the Missouri squad, the best since ' 95, confident of victory, fell before the prowess of Kennedy ' s battle-tried and desperate veterans. That splendid goal of Porter ' s, booted by his trusty right leg from the forty-five-yard line, will long be remembered in the annals of the gridiron game. The season of ' 07 did not open very auspiciously. There were several big gaps left in the line by the loss of the mighty Donald and Brunner, while the back-field material was of somewhat an unknown quantity. But the determined efforts of Coach Kennedy and his assistant, the ex-Maroon, Parry, soon whipped a gridiron machine into shape that was sure to be a factor in the championship. William Jewell, St. Mary ' s, Oklahoma, Manhattan, all fell before the science and brawn of the Kansas squad. Angney, the plucky quarter-back, was perhaps the most stellar performer in these early games, his work always bordering on sensationalism ; but for the most part it was the combined efforts of eleven big men, working as one machine and con- fident of their own strength, that brought victory to the Kansas banners. The first blot on the season ' s record was made at Topeka. Here a combination of bad luck and form, turned loose upon the strongest team Washburn has ever had in its gridiron history, proved too much for Kennedy ' s pupils, and after sixty minutes of hard battling they went down to a deserved defeat 12 to 5. The mighty Com- huskers from the north, thirsting for revenge for their defeats at the hands of Kansas last year, defeated Kennedy ' s squad the next Saturday, winning the game in the first half, but being played completely off their feet during the second session of the contest. The courageous stand against Coachem ' s victorious Catholic eleven at St. Louis, was one of the splendid things of the season. Every Kansan was proud of the showing of the Jayhawker Team in this contest when, overwhelmed by su- perior weight and speed, the University lads fought desperately to the bitter end, holding the score down to less than half that rolled up against Nebraska two weeks later. The Thanksgiving game was taken to St. Joseph on account of a disagreement over the terms for the use of Association Park at Kansas City. This proved to be a hard-fought game from the first kickoff, but was won on the superior strength of the Kansas team and Porter ' s ' splendid kicking. This spring Kennedy has had his Poot-ball squad hard at work getting in the preliminary training for next fall, and expects to turn out the best team during his stay as coach here. All but four of his year ' s eleven will be back, with many new new additions to the squad from the Preshmen Team and others who did not try-out last fal . The schedule is marked by the dropping of the St. Louis game and the addition of the University of Iowa. I I f? e A o r r o K N t fs k a s k ' 121 2— K CAI TA1N ' liEN YOUNG.

In the field, at the bat, in the twirler ' s department, the nine has no weak spots, and, under the coaching of Kaufmann, has developed a clock-like teamwork that has already lodged a goodly number of contests in the safely won column. Much of the strength of the Team this spring lies in its splendid pitching staff. HofTman, for two years a mainstay on the twirler ' s mound for the Jayhawkers, has never worked in better form than he has this spring. Harlan, with his tremendous speed and choice assortment of curves, has always kept the opposing batsmen guessing and making large dents in the air. Stephenson has made an excellent third pitcher on whom the Team can always rely to do his share any time he is called upon. At the bat the Team has not been knocking many boards off the McCook Field fence, but the bingles have come often and been timely. The Team this spring is un- doubtedly as strong with the big stick as any other college aggregation in the West. From catcher to the out-field every berth on the nine this spring has been filled very satisfactorily. Rockefeller, although new behind the bat on the University squad, has looked after the receiving end of the battery so well that the berth is safely his for several seasons. Hofi man and Harlan are both good fielders in addi- tion to their twirling ability. On the initial sack has been Ben Young, the captain and veteran leader of the Jayhawkers. A consistent, almost spectacular fielder and a heavy batter. Young has never played tetter first base than he has this spring in his last year on the fquad. Gibts, an immigrant ficm cur fiicnd the ertmy, Eaker, has played second in a manner he was never able to equal at the Methcdist school and has held the second sack safe. Jennings at short has been one of the most valuable members of the 1908 squad. For headiness and knowledge of tl:e great American game he has no equal on the team, while his playing has heen marked with snap and ginger that has meant much to the team. He is also long with the big stick. Haughey Angney at third has handled well the many hot liners that have sped down the third-base line and has made himself secure in that berth. Carlson, Harvey, and Doubleday have made up a splendid out-field; good fielders all of them, and fairly strong at the bat. McClenon has made a valuable utility man. r CAPTAIN GEORGE m ' CUNE RECORD FOR SEASON. Kansas 66 Ottawa 22 Kansas 33 Ottawa 39 Kansas 37 Newton 32 Kansas 39 Newton 32 Kansas 16...

For the first time in the annals of Basket-ball at the University of Kansas did the Jayhawker quintet carry off the undisputed championship honors of the Missouri Valley; for such was the brilliant record made by Captain George McCune ' s Basket- ball squad this winter, under the eflficient coaching of Phog Allen. The season was in every respect the most satisfactory ever experienced here. The splendid new Gymnasium gave the boys a satisfactory court to practice on. while as a place for holding match games it has no equal in the West. For the first time the entire student body of the University really got behind the Team and pulled with it for victory. The crowds ranged everywhere from two hundred up to a thousand, while for enthusiasm even the most exciting Foot-ball contests could hardly have equalled the rooting and yelling at the spectacular Basket-ball contests this winter. The Team started out losing the first few games, but the steady coaching of Allen and the hard work of the men soon told on their play. The mighty K. C. A. C. five, in past years holders of the World championship, fell before the superior prowess of the Kansans. Washburn, Manhattan, Missouri, the far-famed Tiger five, K. C. A. C. again, all fell victims to the splendid team working and accurate shooting of the Jayhawker lads. Then, with a string of victories behind it, the Team left on its trip, winning seven out of eight games, the one defeat being administered by the Des Moines Y. M. C. A. five. Missouri and Nebraska were both met on their own courts and conquered, and this in face of the two victories the Cornhuskers had won at Lawrence early in the season. They returned home undisputed Missouri Valley champions. Much credit for the success of the season belongs to Phog Allen, the Coach, whose splendid work got the Team on its feet and started it off on its victorious career. Captain George McCune, of Leavenworth, played a steady, consistent game at for- ward all season, netting many and many a point for his squad by his accurate goal shooting. He was always cool, and led the team in defeat and victory with the same unswerving confidence. For his brilliant work as guard . Earl Woodward, of Glasco, was given the captaincy for next year. Woodie made more goals than any other one man on the Team. His eye was always true and his form steady and consistent. Besides the many goals he scored on free throws, Woodward from his guard position shot many a basket from the field. A terror on carrying the ball down the field, Billy Miller was the star of the season, his spectacular field work never being equaled here. Milton Miller at guard played a strong, heady game all season, always holding his man covered, and yet being one of the strongest memlx?rs of the squad on team work. Bergen played a strong game at center, scoring many of the Jay- hawkers ' points, and always being in the game for everything that was in him. Peard and Wohler substituted very satisfactorily in several of the hardest games. I T? P TRACK 12— K CAPTAIN DICK PRIEST, UNIVERSITY ' AND WORI D ' S TRACK AND PIEI.D .- . RECORDS. EVENT.

With less than half the veterans of last year ' s victorious Team back in s chool, the outlook seemed gloomy indeed at the open- ing of the Track season ; but hard and consistent training, superior work by the veterans, and several phenoms among the new men made a successful spring in the Track world here, even surpassing the work of last year. The indoor meet with Missouri in Convention Hall, as was expected, went to Missouri, but by a close margin. Coach Hagerman did not have sufficient time to develop any ' new men to compete with Missouri ' s veteran, and Kansas was out of the running from the start, although the Team made a gallant fight against the veterans from the Tiger camp. The score of this indoor meet was 47 to 37. Outdoors found the Jayhawkers much stronger than the squad lined up for the indoor contests. All of the new men had been under training longer and clearly showed the effects of this, while in the events that cannot be held indoors several sure point- winners were added to the Jay hawker aggregation. Before the spring is out, the 1908 Team promises to make a record that will justly entitle it to be called the best Track squad Kansas has had since the days of Moulton. Captain Dick Priest has been one of the stars of the Team this spring, and has led the squad admirably. His victory in the half-mile at Kansas City was one of the features of the meet. From his consistent work this spring. Priest stands out as the best half-miler in the Missouri Valley. In Frank Parker and Carl Young, the Jayhawkers have had sure point-winners in the high jump for the past four years. Both have been working in splendid form this spring and have easily defeated their opponents in this event. Cooley and Cummins have been the mainstays of the Team in the m ile and two mile with Guthrie, and Bergen close seconds in these events. In the sprints Kansas has been well represented by Dennis, who runs both the 1 00- yard and 220, but with the quarter-mile as his favorite event. His beautiful race in the relay was one of the features of the indoor meet. This event was pulled off in the record-breaking time of 3.36 4-5 minutes, with Bergen, Young, Dennis, and Priest, running in four laps. McCoy and Martindale have done the hurdles for Coach Hagerman ' s squad this spring, with Martindale also starring the broad jump. Wen- ger in the pole vault has been an able successor to Russell, the Missouri Valley record- holder, with Coventry taking a close second. In the weights, Pringle with the hammer and shot and Drake with discus, the Jayhawkers have two sure point- win.ners, with Cohn doing excellent work in the shot put. The Track sched ule this spr ' ng has been the heaviest the University squad has ever attempted. Besides the indoor meet with Missouri in Convention Hall last March, the 1908 squad has outdoor meets with Missouri, Nebraska, and Washington Universities, the State meet and the Missouri V alley Conference meet at Kansas City. 11%— K I— I [X] H The New Gymnasium. The completion of the new Robinson Gymnasium will cause the year 1907-08 long to be remembered in Athletic circles. The finest structure of its kind in the West, it has made a splendid home for all University Athletic Teams, besides furnish- ing gymnasium facilities for classes of several hundred young men and young women. Erected at a cost of $100,000, with every detail planned out with great care by Physical Director Dr. James Naismith, the new Gymnasium is a model in every re- spect. In the basement are lockers for more than a thousand young men and more than half that number of young women, with adequate shower-baths in each depart- ment. On this floor there is also the big swimming-pool, the store-room and special ! raining quarters for the Foot-ball squad. On the first floor are the two gymnasiums I •roper, the west end of the building devoted to boys and the east end to girls. Each | 6fthese two gymnasium rooms are fitted up with special apparatus of every kind and I together make up the best equipped gymnasium in the West. Classes of several hundred can be accommodated in each of these rooms at the same time. On the third floor is the big auditorium and basket-ball court, the largest basket-ball floor in the West. Overlooking this floor is a large gallery and running track, where the Track men put in their hard licks of training for the indoor meet with Missouri. ' Offices for the athletic manager, the various instructors, and special rooms for Boxing, Fencing, Wrestling, and Hand-ball, make the Gymnasium the home of every branch of sport, indoors and outdoors. In future yeafS the new Gymnasium will be one of the strongest factors in building up Jay hawker Athletic teams. It has made Basket-ball a true University sport, in which the entire student body is interested. It will be a great aid in build- ing up Track teams in future years. The Base-ball teams will be stronger for their months of work in the base-ball cagejwhen the snow lies deep outside. Foot-ball teams will hold practice rain or shine irt the future, using the Gymn when McCook Field is too muddy for a work-out. The opening of the new Gymnasium truly will ■ mark a new era in University sports. Hi H w 00 O a: u . to H O O O w -J O C) %; I f 1 The University Orchestra. Since the early days of the University there have been occasional attempts to form an Orchestra, beginning with a group of players who organized under Mr. Xew- hall, a local bandmaster, and played consecutively for several years between 1868 and 1874. During the next twenty-five years orchestras were occasionally organized for special purposes, such as furnishing Commencement music ; but the first organized eflFort began under Professor Farrell, director of the Violin Department in 1889-1900. The next two years the Orchestra met at the house of Professor W. H. Carruth, and consisted at that time of three violins, a flute, and piano. The following year a violoncello- player came to the University, enough players were added to make it independent of the piano, and rehearsals were begun at Fraser Hall under the direc- tion of Mr. Frank Carruth, a nephew of Professor Carruth. That year, the spring of 1903, the Orchestra made its appearance in chapel, playing the Zampa overture, by Herold. In the fall of 1903, Dean Skilton became leader and the Orchestra was still further enlarged. The practice of giving two public concerts each year w: s begun and has been ever since continued, as well as that of furnishing music for Commence- ment, and occasionally for the May Festival. In 1905 it accompanied the opera Der Freischiitz at the Festival. In 1906 the student performance of opera began. The Orchestra has furnished the accompaniment each year and been an important factor in the success of the productions. It has always devoted itself to the best music and has made many classical selections familiar to the student body. The College Faculty graut one hour ' s credit for work in the Orchestra and members are allowed to wear the pin after one year ' s service. OFFICERS. Professor W. H. Carruth President.

McCanles, is by far the largest and hest in the history of the College, and the best College Band in the State. Heretofore the Band has been a helpless handful, contenting themselves with quicksteps and marches; but n ow it is a Band of 40 members, fully uniformed, competent to handle the best of classical music, and has soloists on all instruments. The Band accompanied the Foot-ball Team to the principal games, was never found wanting in stirring up enthusiasm, and always came away carrying laurels for the University by besting the opposing band. The loyalty of the Band is unsurpassed. Although they receive no credits in any department for their band-work, they have put on three first-class concerts during the year and have been the principal adjunct in the rooting section — always true to the crimson and blue. For the Band the future looks very bright, and every encouragement by the University should be extended to them. What they need is University credits and the installment of a cadet military drill of the students. This would allow them to institute a military band organization supported by the Govern ment and give them daily practice. Give them this, and the Director, with the competent material of which the Band is composed, will be able to make the K. U. Band the best concert band in the State.

U. ever had, is the way one of the Lawrence papers described this year ' s MandoUn Club. If it is not the best musical organiza- tion in the history of the school, it is certainly the best Mandolin Club that has ever represented the University. Under the direction of Heim Goldman — his fifth year in charge of the Club — and managed by Carl G. Eddy, the Club had a most successful season. During the Christmas vacation the men made a trip across the State and back, playing Clay Center, Belleville, Phillipsburg, Norton, Goodland, Colby, Oakley, Wakeeney, Hays City, Ellis, Ellsworth, and Wamego. A great credit to the University, was the general opinion of the people who heard them this year. The Club is the only strictly student musical organization in the University. MEMBERS. Director.

The Club sang better music than was ever attempted by any previous club, and it made better music. The first part of the program consisted of classical selections, the most pretentious number being Dudley Buck ' s cantata, Paul Revere ' s Ride. In this half the boys wore the customary evening dress. In the second part they- appeared in white duck trousers and black sack coats. They sang selections from the Princeton Triangle Club ' s opera, Tabasco Land, and introduced two new Kan- sas songs. The musical numbers were accompanied by clever vaudeville, and the half was a big hit. C. Edward Hubach, head of the Vocal Department of the Fine Arts School, directed the Club. The Club was not only an artistic success, but also financially. This success was due in a large measure to R. E. Teall, who managed it. Frank Frickleton assisted Mr. Teall in the management. Edgar M. Forde has been elected Manager for next year. Fifteen concerts were given in the following places: University of Kansas, Kan- sas City, Kas., Bonner Springs, Topeka, St. Marys, Manhattan, Osage City, Peabody, Marion, Emporia, Kansas City, Mo., Ottawa, Olathc, Lawrence. A return concert was given in Topeka in conjunction with the Washburn Glee Club. Director. C. Edw. Hubach. Pianist. H. V. BOZELL. Second Towrs. F. Frickleton. L. D. Thomas. I. Snattinger.

The Kansas Lawyer is published monthly by students of the Law School, in the interest of the Law School and the State Bar. The editors of Vol. XIV. have added two new departments to the Lawyer, Abstracts of Recent Kansas Decisions and Notes on Recent Kansas Decisions. The abstracts of decisions are published each month within ten days after they are handed down by the Supreme Court. Notes on Recent Decisions are critical notes on such of the current deci- sions of the Supreme Court of Kansas, and of others as warrant special notice. It has been the endeavor of the editors to make the Lawyer a medium of transmission for the results of the careful legal work which is being done by the Bar of Kansas. Toward the accomplishment of this end there has been published in each issue an article by some leading member of the Kansas Bar. The members of the Lawyer staff are: Editor-in-Chief. Paul Jones.

The Cooley Club. nf The only one is a much-used expression in the Annual, and yet there is no other expression that exactly describes the Cooley Club. The Cooley Club is a debating and oratorical society whose membership is limited to students of the Law School. It meets every Friday afternoon throughout the year. The regular program consists of debates and addresses on questions of interest. During several months of this year, the regular program was varied by converting the society into a House of Representatives. The House was regularly organ - ized,[_bills were introduced, discussed, and passed, and much valuable drill in the organization and conduct of legislative bodies was secured by the members. The Cooley Club is the only debating club in the University that held regular meetings throughout the whole year. It is organized, not for the purpose of getting men on the Debating Council, but for giving its members drill in public speaking and debate. Its members are interested in the work and the results of its training are evident. The Cooley Club team, Merillat, Lock, and Cline, defeated the representatives of the X Y Z Club, the only other club that dared to meet them. On every debat- ing club team that went away from the University this year, the Cooley Club was represented. Merillat and Childress went to Oklahoma, Lock to Colorado, and Countryman to Washburn. The officers for the term are : M. O. Lock, President. F. Rice, Vice-President. C. Starbuck, Secretary. J. M. Childress, Treasurer. RoME O ' S rARE WCLL tji DRAMATICS The Masque Club. « « « ' f rior to 1 901 the Amateur Theatricals at the University were unorganized, t ' lough groups of students often produced plays that found ample patronage. At that thne an organization was effected, and each year since that time the University Dramatic Club has staged one or more successful productions. In 1905 a new name was adopted — The Masque. Membership is limited to twenty-five, and new members are elected after they have proven themselves worthy by taking a speaking part in one or more of the Club ' s productions. This year two comedies have been put on: Green Eves, and My Friend From India. R. L. Douglas is President and Manager of the Club, and Edna Hopkins is Secr etary. The members are: R. L. Douglas.

This last fall the pleasure or pain, whichever it may or might have been, was increased by the addition of a new organization, whose name heads this article. To those familiar with the history of the Greek Drama, the name of Thespius will be remembered, and from this, the name of one of the earliest dabblers in the amateur theatrical, the organization concocted a name. It is our hope that this Club shall never disgrace the name of the venerable and ancient exponent of the drama, so that it shall be excluded from future works on the Greek Drama. The first play put on by this Club was J. M. Barrie ' s drama of Scotch life, The Little Minister, February 14th of this year, and the Thespians made a hit. A great share of the credit for the manner in which this play was staged is due to Mrs. Georgia H. Brown, of Kansas City, Mo., who directed the rehearsals. The members of the Club are chosen by public try-out and the members of the cast from a similar try-out, confined to the members of the Club.

Last year, when The Pirates of Penzance was played, a general interest was aroused in the School for that class of dramatics; and when Patience was played this fall, a still greater interest was shown. In the opera there was brought together the best musical talent of the Uni- versity, both students and Faculty. Among those who took part were Sam Forter, Roy Ridnour, Carroll Fisk, Emile Grignard, Everett Copley, Hazel Leslie, Bess Tustin, Kate Reynolds, Frances Hou!t( n, Jess ' .e Baldridge, and Archie Naramore. 14%— K The German Play.    Samstag Abend, den 23ten November, 1907, Fraternal Aid Hall was filled to hear the voices of Emperor William and Professor William Carruth, who was then in Germany, through the medium of a phonograph, and see the annual Ger- man play. Die Sonntags Jager a play in one act, was staged by the students of the German Department. It had dramatic merit besides entertaining the great audi- ence, only part of which could understand German.

I   The Debating Council is an organization of the University, having under its control and management all debates between the University of Kansas and other Universities and Colleges. It is composed of students elected from each of the liter- ary organizations of the University, and three Faculty members appointed by I he Chancellor. The Council of 1907-08 is composed of the following members: Cooley Club A. W. Lucas and J. M. Childress; X. Y. Z. Society, S. F. Bartlett and Ralph Johnson Athenian Senate, C. M. Blackmar and Clyde Adams; Burke Society, Wallace F. Hovey and Geo. G. Barrett; Kent Club, J. L. Stryker and E. W. Grant; Adelphic, S. J. Vigg and Harry Randall; Faculty, W. E. Higgins, W. H. Carruth, and D. L. Thomas. The members elected to the Council met for organization on October 8, 1907, in Green Hall, and elected officers as follows: S. F. Bartlett, President; Harry Ran- dall, Vice-President; J. M. Childress, Recording Secretary; W. E. Higgins, Corre- sponding Secretary; and C. M. Blackmar, Business Manager. One important question before the Council at its first meeting was whether or not it would be advisable to arrange debates in the future with any schools other than State institutions. The question was unanimously decided in the negative, but as the contract then in force between K. U. and Washburn College would not expire of its own limitation for another year, that institution was retained on the list. The following schedule was arranged for the year 1908: K. U. vs. University of Colorado, at Boulder, Colo., March 11. K. U. z -v. University of Oklahoma, at Norman, Okla., April 10. K. U. vs. University of Missouri, at Lawrence, Kas., April 23. K. U. vs. Washburn College, at Topeka, Ks s., April 24. The students who represent the University in these contests are chosen from the University at large in competitive try-outs under the management of the Debating Council. I u Z O U O z OQ U Q J2 Z y THE COI ORADO DEBATE. Ralph Spotts. Paul Wall. M. O. Lock. These men won the Colorado Debate at Boulder. The Colorado Debating Team was one of the best-balanced Teams sent out by the University in years. At Boulder, the seat of Colorado University, it won on ' the ' affirmative side of the Income Tax question. THE OKLAHOMA DEBATE. C. C. Merillat. J. M. Childress. The Oklahon-a Team, C. C: Merillat and J. M. Childress, was one of the strongest Teams put on the rostrum this year. They lost to Oklahoma at Norman on the negative of the Income Tax question. 11 THB WASHBURN TEAM. C. Wright, E. W. Bray. T. Countryman. CowLES Wright, Thomas Countryman, and E. W. Bray, met JWashburn at Topeka, April 24th, on the affirmative of the Woman ' s Suffrage question. It was the last debate with Washburn, and the men went to Topeka determined to win, and threw their set speeches away in order to engage in a hand-to-hand encounter. On this account their delivery was not as flowery as it would other- wise have been, and the fortunes of war were against them. THE MISSOURI DEBATE. F. Tyler, F. W. Brinkerhoff. Frank Tyler and F. W. Brinkerhoff represented Kansas in the Missouri Debate in Fraser Hall, April 28th. Tyler had been on the winning Team in the Kansas-Missouri Debate in 1905, the last debate with the Tigers. Brinkerhoff was a political speaker, and thus well qualified to represent the Jayhawkers. They upheld the affirmative of the direct primary system of nomination in an able way, but the Tigers carried off the decision by a two-to-one vote. The Republican Club. DRAPER, MARTIN. GRANT, STRYKER. The Republican Club was established several years ago, and has always enjoyed a very large active membership. Every department of the University is well-repre- sented in the Club and every live question of State or national political importance is discussed and the Club ' s position defined with reference thereto. The attitude ' of the party and people throughout the State on the various questions and men is definitely ascertained through the representatives from the various districts. Many of the alumni members are now holding prominent places in this and oth er States. The officers elected at the beginning of the present school year were: J. L. Stryker, President; E. W. Grant, Vice-President; Otto Apollo, Secretary; Leo T. Gibbens, Treasurer. Mr. Gibbens and Mr. Apollo having left school, their places were filled by Messsrs. Martin and Draper, respectively. The Democratic Club. MANN, BROWN, DISNEY, COX. Albert A. Mann President. Roy a. Cox Vice-President. Lester Disney Secretary. Walter E. Brown Treasurer. The Democratic Club was organized in 1904, in the L,aw School. Since that time it has had rather a sporadic existence; quiet in times of political peace, but a very active organization in political campaigns. But during the present year it has been permanently and definitely organized with a constitution, and is now com- posed of enthusiastic young Democrats of all the schools of the University. In past years the Club has sent a speaker to the Democratic Washington ' s Day Banquet at Topeka, but this winter no one was elected for the place. The object of the Democratic Club is to preserve and promote the principles of democracy among the students of the University and to keep the members better in touch with the party outside. An attempt is made to have regular meetings and discussions of the issues of the day. Good Qovernment Club.   The Good Government Club of the University of Kansas is a member of the Inter-Collegiate Civic League, a national organization founded at Yale in 0901, which within the last two years has established nearly 30 clubs in the principal colleges and universities of the country. The platform of the League is: First, non-par- tisanship in politics; Second, to encourage the members of the clubs and under- graduate student body to intelligently inform themselves concerning all national, State, and municipal issues relating to principles and candidates; Third, to stimu- late honest citizenship and the assumption of its pressing responsibilities. The Kansas Club was organized in the spring of 1907, and it has devoted itself to the study of how modem politics are conducted and how they should be conducted, from the petty schemes of the local boss to the elaborate plans of State and Nation. Practical politicians and business men have talked to the Club from time to time, when informal discussions were indulged in. Membership in the Club is limited to upper-classmen and only to those who are particularly interested in questions of g3od government. It is the intention of the Club to enlarge its membership and to a sume its proper commanding position in University affairs. Ammg those who have talked to the Club are: Hon. J. D. Bowersock, J. L. Brady, C. S. Finch, B. J. Sheridan, Col. Fleming, and Hon. Wm. J. Bryan. The Hon. Chas. M. Jesup, founder of the League, visited the Club this spring and made a msot interesting public address on The Responsibilities of Citizenship. The League has clubs at the following institutions, and other clubs are being ripidly established: Yale, Princeton, Harvard, Columbia, Brown, Cornell, WiUiams, Amherst, Dartmouth, Haverford, Beloit, Union, Massachusetts Institute of Technol- c gy, and the Universities of Chicago, Pennsylvania, New York, Michigan, Ten- nessee, Vermont, Colorado, Georgia, Louisiana, Kansas, North Dakota, and Iowa. The members of the local Club are: Walter E. Brown. Clyde R. Commons, Vice-President. Sidney K. Cooke. Richard L. Douglas. Hyden J. Eaton. Alfred M. Landon. Adelbert D. McCleverty, Secretary.. The honorary members of the Club are: Prof. W. C. Abbott. Prof. F. W. Blackmar. Prof. Wallace Notestein. Prof. F. G. Bates. Prof. F. H. Hodder. Ralph J. Pryor. Chester A. Ramsey. Roy a. Roberts.

Roberts Secretary. Carl H. Young Treasurer. The Scoop Club is an organization of professional newspaper men, who are students of the University of Kansas. Meetings are held twice a month, at which trade problems are discussed and papers read on news subjects. Membership is limited to professional news writers. The Club was organized in February and meetings were held at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Alpha Tau Omega, Phi Delta Theta, and Sigma Chi chapter-houses. Prof. W. C. Abbott, H. Ray Palmer, of the Kansas City Star, William Allen White, W. Y. Morgan, and Charles J. Dillon, of the Kansas City Star, and other newspaper men addressed the Club. The Scoop Club, as editors, and the journalism classes, as reporters, got out an edition of the Lawrence Journal, which was unusually well-edited, and a thousand extra copies were sold. The Club members in reporting stirred up real news and acted as detectives the night before the paper went to press. MEMBERS. Claud Clay. John P. Jones. Arthur Riddle. Joseph Murray. Brock Pemherton.

A record of the work of the University Young Men ' s Christion Association ought to convince even the most skeptical of the unquestioned efficiency of the organization as it is now qpnducted. It stands for Christian service and aims to be a directive and regenerative force in sympathy and co-operation with all other means of elevating student life and thought. It stands for clean souls in sound bodies, against influences and temptations which all college men must face and of which few have had earher experience to enable them to meet the dangers fairly and overcome them. It asserts the right of Christ to control the whole of men ' s Hves; to be the Master of every de- partment of human life. Appealing as it does to University men to be Christian students, Christian athletes. Christian citizens, Christian men, may we not hope that the organization will become increasingly a power for good until its influence extends through every county of our State out into the larger service of our great country ? J. P. H. Under the leadership of Secretary J. P. Hagerman, the University of Kansas Y. M. C. A. has begun a movement for a permanent home. In two years the Associa- tion hopes to have a house on Mount Oread large enough to accommodate the men of the University. The officers for 1907-08 were: H. C. Herman, President; C. P. Donald, Vice- President; D. C. Worden, Secretary; Ben. S. Hill, Treasurer. 1 U 3 i « o o 15— K Y. W. C. A.    The Young Women ' s Christian Association was organized in the University of Kansas in 1892. From that time on to the present work has been advancing along various departmental lines, with a larger realization, it is hoped, of its ideal purpose. Its ultimate purpose may be expressed in an earnest desire: To win young women to Christ; to develop young women into the highest types of womanhood; to maintain a high standard of scholarship social life, and morality; to bring together all young women on a common basis of Christian fellowship and service ; to send out young women trained in methods of Christian work and fitted to use the opportunity and to accept the responsibilities before them. And this purpose is being reached through avenues accessible to all. A religious atmosphere pervades the work and gives a special significance to the weekly meetings. Yet as girls in college are con- fronted by varied needs, the effort is made to reach those needs. Girls discuss girls ' problems, though largely outside speakers are secured, who touch the numerous student problems. The Association, though distinctive in itself, has the assistance of an Advisory Board, composed of busy Christian women of Lawrence. This committee and the General Secretary, who devotes her entire time, together with the Cabinet, form the groundwork from which all developments spring. Nor is this Association a peculiar institution, as it is only one of the many college and city organizations, not of America merely, but of the wor d. It is affiliated with the State Committee of Young Women ' s Christian Associations, the Amer- ican Committee, the World ' s Young Women ' s Christian Association, the World ' s Students Christian Federation, and the Student Volunteer Movement. As a small part of the greater organizations, its life is centered within the University and as such works mainly in this field. CABINETS. General Secretary. AucE L. NOURSE. 1 907-08. Susie Shaffer.

Pan=Helienic.  i  Owing to adverse criticism brought upon college sororities because of undig- nified methods of rushing, an inter-sorority conference was called in Chicago in May, 1902, with the object in view of preparing a way for similar legislation through- out women ' s Greek letter fraternities relative to rushing, pledging, and initiation. At the second Inter-Sorority Conference, held in September, 1903, a rule was passed that Pan-Hellenic Associations should be formed in all institutions where two or more national sororities exist. The Pan-Hellenic association at Kansas University was organized in the spring of 1905. No rules were made in regard to rushing or pledging, but a move- ment was started to attempt to better the social conditions in school-life. After the third National Conference, in 1904, a motion was carried that a Pledge Day be adopted by sororities in colleges where they exist. For two years Pledge Day at Kansas University was set for the first Monday after matriculation, and in 1907 it was extended two weeks longer. The Pan-Hellenic Association affords opportunity for increasing the influence of sororities in college life and tends to advance the fellow-feeling which should exist among such organizations. The members of the Pan-Hellenic Association are: Agnes Evans. Lucy Wright, Rebecca Moody. Thekla Fisher. In November, 1907, the eight general fraternities of the University got to- gether and organized The Pan-Hellenic Association of the University of Kansas for the purpose of more closely uniting their aims and to regulate those Univer- sity and inter-fraternity affairs which would be impossible to regulate otherwise. The Association is governed by a Council composed of two representatives elected by each fraternity. The movement has been a great success from the very start and already a new, broader, and better spirit of fraternalism is spreading among the members.

The Farce was begun about 9:30, and for an hour the audience was entertained with some of the most clever local hits ever pulled off by the Junior Class. Fully 250 couple enjoyed Kelley ' s music, and lingered late into the next morning, ere the big social event of the year was over. The success of the Prom was due in a large measure to the hard work of Mr. Naramore and his associates, Tom Veatch and Ernest Skotstad. The Sophomore.    The third annual Sophomore was given by the ' 10 Class, in the F. A. A. Hall, April 22. The Sophomore, while not rivaUing the Junior Prom, is becom- ing more and more one of the most anticipated social functions of the School- year. This year, for the first time since the custom was inagurated, the Class was able to pay out. Mr. Dietrich deserves much credit for its success. vfi:;:ir, ' r « HeirtbersSeeXne tt There once was a strange lad named Kemp, Who drank both Budweiser and Lemp.

Concerning Roses. ♦ Some tear the perfumed rose asunder, And catalogue its every wonder, Saying: ' Tis false as poets fame it; ach attribute ; we note and name it — : ' -(jO, publish it to every layman: ' The rose is pistil, sepal, stamen. ' The poet ' s eye, then, deeper-seeing, Finds in the rose another being Than the spare analysts afford her Of petal, sepal, color, odor; He kens that sweet peculiar spirit Which each of Nature ' s things inherit — But, so the senses five belie us, We see according to our bias, And each man differs from his brother. Seeing the same thing, yet another! Hence all our strife and woe and trouble; The World, like one in cups, sees double. Hence cross and crescent. Temple, steeple, And creeds as many as are people; Some side with Korah, some with Moses — But let ' s return once more to roses. When the fond youth his sweetheart misses, The withered rose she wore he kisses, And thus that rose performs the duty Of symbolizing one girl ' s beauty; Roses fill up the vase at dinner; 1 ., Men send them to a maid to win her; And red June roses damsels carry When in the hushed church lovers marry; And at a funeral service often Pale roses droop along the coffin. We use the rose for every office That the imagination proffers, Around it still the glamor weaving Of human love and joy and grieving. The while ' tis naught, perhaps, but striving Atoms, hither and thither driving — But is there one of us supposes That he can tell just what a rose is? Harry H. Kemp. ii t k The Fable of the Measly Lover; or, Love at Long Range. Once upon a Time there was a Perfect Peach, whose name was Alice, who used to hold Hands, occasionally, with a Youth called Herbert. She had Wavy Hair and belonged to a Frat and Besides was Intimately Connected with the Faculty, so she suited him from the Ground Up, and he proposed to make it a Case of Marry. Her Parents had guarded her through the Grammar and High Schools, and sent her to a Co-ed Institution called K. U., and every Morning she would Wave the House-work aside and Set Forth to complete her Education. To and from, and on Balmy afternoons Herbert helped Alice Wear out the Sidewalks and then an Awful Thing came off. Herbert succumbed to an Attack of the Measles! Now, of course, this was a Bitter Proposition to the Strollers. Alice had to Tread the Paths to Fame alone — in other Words, by Herself, while He lay in a Dark Room with Wet Cloths over his Eyes and let Nature take her Course. When the Day came that the Doctor said he might sit up, a terribly Bold Idea came to Our Hero. He wanted the Girl so hard, he could risk Anything. He had the Love Microbe so mixed all through his System that the Fires of Yearn- ing had got beyond Control. So when the Eagle Eye of the Nurse was off Watch he dressed and hastily escaped through the Window. About the Safest Thing he could do was to lay back his Ears and gnaw the Palings of Her Front Gate till the Queen of the Human Race should Happen to look Out. He stood Ace High with Papa, so he didn ' t want to make any Breaks, and kept Perfectly Still. The Purple Evening had begun to Arrive when the Parent looked out and Noticed. About the same Time the Real Thing came out of the Front Door and advanced with Open Arms to receive the Particular One. Papa thought it was Time to Interfere — and Did. He told the Sickly Suitor that Alice was the only Eldest Child of a Dean and that they should not Run any Risks, and added that the Young Man had better keep his Distance. The Shock was so great to Herbert that Everything swam before his Gaze, the same as in a Natatorium, and there is no Telling what would have Happened if the Human Pet had not been seized with an Inspiration. He Ventured the Suggestion that they each Use a Different Side of the Street. No sooner said than Done, so with Papa ' s Blessing they Renewed the Strolling Habit and had a Heavenly Time. Mora : Love will Find a Way. Willie and the Fair Co-Ed.   Once upon a time there was a Fair Co-Ed who went to College. The College was called a Co- Educational School because the Co- Eds were the Real Stuff and the Other People who Attended were just Men. Angelina was a Great Student. She took Greek Art and Musical Apprecia- tion and Other Things and Spent Four Hours every Week in Recitations. When she was not busy with her Lessons, she liked to Stroll across the Campus toward Billy ' s. There was always a Man with her, but never the same Man Twice. You see, there were a great Many Men in the School, and Angelina wanted to give them all a Chance to Feed Her. And all the Men wanted to Take the Chance, because Angelina had a Perfect Figure and wore Her Hair in Puffs. But the the Other Girls said she left her Complexion and Hair on the Dresser at Night, and that she was Just Horrid Any Way. They stood on the Steps of the Library and Talked about her as she Strolled Past. But the Boys called Angelina Peach- es, so she didn ' t care a Bit. Now after Many Weeks of this Rushing, Angelina began to Look about her for some Tall Manly Youth whose Broad Shoulder might be a Resting Place for Her Puffs. Willie was one of the I Tappa Keg Bunch and he was a Swell Dancer. Be- sides, he had Pink Cheeks and wore His Hat turned up in Front and was just Too Sweet for Anything. When Willie and Angelina Met, it was all Off with the Other Fellows. And now you may see this Happy Pair any day looking for Four- leaved Clovers on the Campus or studying the Architecture of the Museum. Moral : The Course of True Love never Runs so Smooth Anywhere as it does at College. Chancy ' s Baby Boy.  When we all sat on the bleachers, Base-ball game to see, Came a wildly blowing whistle. Just at half-past three. • Chorus: As we ran to quench the fire. Came the shout of joy: No — go back! The whistle blew foi Chancy ' s baby boy. Greet we then our noble Chancellor. May he live alway — And in honor of his baby Give a holiday. Chorus: Lift the chorus; join rejoicing In the shout of joy. ■ Keep the happy holiday for Chancy ' s baby boy. A. F. R. (Boarding) Life at K. S. U. (With apologies to W. H. Carruth.) t Neither prince nor peasant leads a life unpleasant As the boarder ' s life at K. S. U. Up the hillside holy he ascendeth slowly, And descends again when meals are due. In his hand some papers, stomach cutting capers, For perhaps a hungry month or two; Who can see and wonder, that he ' s soon to sunder His associations with K. U. Or, since tastes will vary, and the cooks be chary, Some with hashes have to be content; Not on cakes and puddings — all their coin and doublins Now on beans and doughy bread are spent. And, mirabile diciu, there are some who stick to College — when there ' s nothing else but stew. Who can see and wonder that they ought to sunder Their associations with K. U. Earth ' s no outlook rougher, not a beefsteak tougher. Than each day before our eyes contracts; Lawrence board is bummer, Lawrence boarders glummer, Than the board and grub of other tracts.

No badges or other insignia shall be shown during rushing season. 2. During the opening week of school no girl shall solicit prospective material beyond the cabmen ' s dead-line at the station, nor shall any Greek let- ters be mentioned while grabbing suitcases. 3. During season, each Sorority may have but one date a day with each member. All night dates at the rushees ' houses count, as do dates made by known st eadies of the Sorority. 4. No candidate shall know by any manner of written or spoken word by what Sorority she is being entertained. She shall choose her bunch on her general impressions, regardless of how euphonious the name sounds. 5. At the end of the first month of school, on the night of the first Monday of the new month, the porch of each Sorority shall be illuminated by one (i) incandescent light. On the door shall be posted a paper, written in red ink, bearing the name of the Sorority at the top and the names of the rushees desired. At nine o ' clock the rushees, starting from their places of lodging, with packages under their arms, shall go unaccom- panied to the various Sorority houses, approaching the one whose girls please them the most. At the foot of the stairs they shall stop sixty seconds, repeating in a low voice , Is my name written there? Then they shall ascend and see. The girls, peering from behind closed blinds, shall be ready to welcome them or to let them depart, as the case may be. On finding her name on the paper, the happy one shall rap and, handing her package to the girl answering the door, shall say, I have come to stay all night. 6. Girls not living up to these rules are not nice and the rest of us girls will not have anything to do with them. I Quatrains.    The Finance question ' s an awful thing! We ponder it o ' er and o ' er, At dramatic rehearsal who paid for the eats? And will he do so any more? Another phase this question has, It treats of love so free: We wonder why Dick ' s cafe bill Is paid by Lulu G. And poor forgotten Zeke! His check, Delayed from week to week, Makes him act so, the laundry man Dubs him a sprinting freak. But Homer is not bothered so. No, not a bit of it. If Lillian likes long distance best. That ' s how he ' 11 make his hit. And Eddy James, the Plutocrat, Cares not a whit for money. For, since he can ' t stand boarding fare. He Hves on milk and honey. Let ' s now turn back to poverty: The Phi Gams, loving Art, But lacking funds, were forced to swipe, And break poor Squires ' heart. i The Ancient Registrar. It was the K. U. Registrar, And he stoppeth one of three. By thy inky hands and ghttering eye, Now wherefore stoppest thou me? My pocketbook is open wide, All entrance fees I ' ll pay. You ' re half a credit back, said he; You ' 11 not get in to-day. In after years, before the desk, A sober Senior stood. I ' ve come to look my record o ' er, If you will be so good ; I ' m sure my credits are all straight. And yet I ' d like to see — You ' re back two hours in sciences — That fixes you, ' ' said he. Oh, let us hope that some day soon. Before the gate on high, George O. will come to entrance ask To mansions in the sky ; And when St. Peter scans the files, George Foster ' s name to find, There ' s nothing doing, he will say; You ' re ten hours ' work behind.

Me and Ma jest got back frum a visit to Kansas Universitee, an ' I ' lowed I ' d better drap ' round an ' tell you ' bout hit. After thus announcing his intention, Farmer Nub- bins, of Podunk, filled his cob pipe with a fresh bit of K ( V I Corn Cake, placed his feet alongsidejthose of Jeff r vj Stevens, the village editor, and proceeded: You see, we ' ve got a son an ' darter goin ' to scule up thare an ' we ' lowed we ' d go an ' see ' em. So, without sayin ' nothin ' , we packed our grips an ' started. Wall, in course the children didn ' t know we wus comin ' , an ' they wus no one at the deepo to meet us. Well, sir, they was the allfiredest lot of lights around that place. I never seen the beat. An ' the noise wus somethin ' turrible. I thought somebody wus hurt. Rushin ' down towards the train wus nigh nine hundred or a thousand boys, all yellin ' like a haystack afire. I sidled up to a feller, an ' says, ' Who ' s hurt? ' | He laughs an ' says, ' Nobody ' s hurt; the Team is goin ' off. ' I looked all around, but didn ' t see a sign uv a team. Finally we got outside the gang, an ' all along the walk wus a string uv ker- riges with glass doors in em. A feller wus standin ' by each one yellin ' like Pete Waters at a sale, ' Take a kerrige! Take a kerrige! Any part uv the city! I seen the town wus so blame big that we couldn ' t find the children that evenin ' , so I says to Ma, says I, ' Ma, if them fellers is so doggoned anxious to take us ridin ' , blame me if I don ' t give one of ' em a chanst. ' So with them words leavin ' my mouth, we stepped into a kerrige. The feller says to me, ' Where to? ' I seen he wus tryin ' to be perlite, so I says, ' Oh, any place; don ' t put your- self out the way none. ' Well, sir, if that feller didn ' t drive us all over that blamed town, it seemed to me. After a long spell, we stopped in front of a big store. He hops down an ' says, ' Want to stay at a hotel to-night? ' ' Why, yes, ' says I, ' blame me if we don ' t. You ' re the allfiredest good- natured feller I ' ve saw since I left home. ' Ther we wus, right in front uv a first- class hotel, an ' I hed been expectin ' I ' d hev to hunt one up as soon as the feller got tired drivin ' . I jest sold a load of wheat afore I left home, so I didn ' t give a durn how much money I spent, an ' I up an ' pulled out a dollar an ' guv it to him. Wall, then we went inside that there hotel. ' Jericho Ann! ' says Ma, ' this place looks like a palast. ' I ain ' t got time to tell how nice it wus, but it certainly wus. We stepped up to a place that looked kinder like a counter with a big book on it. They wus a fresh-lookin ' chap behind the concern, an ' when I ast him how the chances fer a bed wus, he says, ' Do you want a room and bath? ' That sorty riled me up an ' I says, says I, ' Looky here, sonny, you may bumfoozle some people what ain ' t on to your perk ways, but you ' d better not monkey with your uncle, fer he ' s on to your racket. You know dern well that we want a room an ' nothin ' more. Do I look like I needed a bath, say? Folks is civilized where we come frum. Understand, young man, that we both took a bath afore we left hum. ' Them words cooled him down a bit, an ' he wur as gen- tle as a sick lam ' afterwards. Wall, I ain ' t got time to tell you everthing ' bout that hotel. We finally got through the night, but Ma wus dredfuUy scairt we would be robbed. I wus kinder worried myself, but nothin ' uv a harmful natur attacked us as we slept. The next mornin ' early, bein ' anxious to find the children, we started in the direction of the scule-house. After we ' d went on fer an hour or so, we arriv at the bottom uv the durndest biggest hill I ever seen. It wus big enough to be a mounting. Me an ' Ma finally clum it, an ' drat me if they wusn ' t buildin ' s scattered all over that ther hill. I wus lookin ' fur only one house, but they must a ' been a dozen or more. We wus plum tuckered out an ' sot down on a big rock to rest. We ' d been settin ' there jest a few minits, when Ma breaks out sudden like, ' Jericho Ann! Look a comin ' . ' I looked up, an ' ther wus a girl no bigger ' n our Mary Ann, comin ' down the sidewalk, an ' , doggone me, if the sleeves in her dress wusn ' t cut off at the elbows. ' Pore gal, ' says Ma, ' she must be workin ' her way through scule, an ' has outgrowed her clothes. ' I felt plum sorry fer her, an ' as she come longside of us, I pulled out a two- dollar bill, an ' says: ' Excuse me, ma ' am, but I like yer grit. Take this an ' get some sleeves fer yer dress. ' ' Sur-r-r! ' says she, backin ' off frum the money like a scairt colt; ' Sur-r-r! n ■ how dare you? ' With them words she went down the walk like a telegraft- pole in i the Artie Oshun. ;- ' Gosh! ' says I, lookin ' at her retreatin ' figger, ' you needn ' t to a bin so gol- durn proud. ' I meant to speak them words soft- like, so Ma wouldn ' t hear me, but she did, an ' says she, ' Ezekiel Nubbins, I am a shamed of you fer usin ' sech talk. You didn ' t expect the pore gal to take money frum a stranger, did you? ' I didn ' t have nothin ' more to say, an ' so we went on lookin ' at the Univer- sitee as we went. Jest as we cum up alongside a big buildin ' , the blamedest crowd of folks I ever seen cum rushin ' out the door. At first I thought the house must be afire, but I soon seen that it wus only scule lettin ' out. We wus gettin ' mighty anxious to find the chi dren, an ' so I stopped a feller an ' ast him if he knew Mary Ann. He said he knew her, but she didn ' t know him. He wus a right likely sort of a chap, an ' took us to the feller who keeps the names of the pupils. I b ' le ' ve his name wus Reggy Strar or suthin hke that. Any how, that is what the young feller called him. He wus a funny-lookin ' cu termer. He had a wild look in his eye, an ' tried to look cross at me through a pair of them new-fangled specs. I didn ' t pay no attention to that, howsumever, an ' says to him as perlite as I could, ' Mister, can you tell me where I d be likeliest to find my son? William Nubbins is his name. ' ' Nubbins, ' says he to himself several times, an ' then actin ' as if he ' d jest thought of somethin ' , bursts out, ' Oh, sure! Nubs, Bill Nubs, our famous half-back an ' track man. Sure I know him. Are you his father? Glad to know you, sure. ' He didn ' t seem to be in much of a hurry to tell where Willie wus, an ' so I says, a bit riled like, ' Wall, if you be so doggoned well acquainted with him, p ' r ' aps you can let me know his hidin ' -place. ' ' Oh! excuse me, ' says he, ' surtinly; your son is off with the team just at present, an ' probably won ' t be back fer a bit. ' ' Off with a team! ' says I, ' well, I be bumfoozled ! So you learnt him to work with a team. Well, doggone me, this here scule has did somethin ' I never could do. If he ' s off with a team, dern me if he can ' t stay as long as you ' 11 let him. 1 ' d give a dollar to see him workin ' . ' ' Well, Pa, ' says Ma, breakin ' in on my meditations, ' s ' pose we go look fer Mary Ann. ' So we told the feller with the gold specs good-bye, an ' started out to find Mary Ann. Jest as we wus goin ' out the door, I ketched sight of her standin ' in the corner of the hall, talkin ' to a chap with a pipe in his mouth the size of a club. She saw us about the same time, an ' made a dash towards us. The chap with the pipe made a dash the other way, an ' I can ' t say I wus much grieved over it. ' Dear old Daddy! ' says Mary Ann, in a voice that wobbled like a patent pianner. She has been takin ' voice-improvement. I guess that ' s the trouble. ' An ' Mumsy, too. Whyee! I ' m glad to see you. Why didn ' t you write me you wus comin ' ? ' Wall, she wus right glad to see us, an ' I wus mighty glad to see she hadn ' t, got stuck up. It wus jest dinner-time when we found her, an ' she had a meetin ' of some kind to attend, an ' so Ma an ' mc went over to a little eatin ' -house to git a bite to eat. Mary Ann sed she ' d be over as soon as the meetin ' ended. Well, sir, they wus the allfiredest crowd uv girls in that eatin ' -house I ever seen. They wus scramblin ' ' round Hke rats, tryin ' to get a place to set down, an ' wus makin ' more noise than a flock uv geese. One uv ' em says to a waiter, ' Gimme a beef sandwich with lots uv gravy on it, an ' a glass uv water, an ' a knife an ' fork. ' She kep ' that waiter flyin ' round ther like a jumpin ' -jack fer five minits or more, an ' then paid five cents fer the whole business, an ' got mad ' cause he wouldn ' t sell her three doughnuts an ' a half fer a nickel. Wall, purty soon Mary Ann cum over, an ' we hired a feller with one of them awtimobeles to take us over the place. We had a fine time, considerin ' everything. The next time we go up we ' 11 see Willie. I wus powerful glad to hear he had learnt to work a team. He can help in the corn next summer. Just at this pause the town whistle blew for twelve o ' clock. Farmer Nubbins rose stiffly and prepared to leave. Wall, Jeff, he said, knocking the ashes out of his pipe, I hed no idee it wus so late. I must be ambUn ' . Next time we go up, I ' 11 drap in an ' let you know. Claud Alfred Clay. Faculty Frolics. Behold, in the year of nineteen and eight, there was great feasting and revel- ing among those appointed to impart knowledge to the young, yea, even r.m ig our honored Faculty. And the place where these revels were held was at the house of that one called Prof. Nuisance. And the revelers proclaimed: Lo, we shall choose a word, and the letters of that word we shall show to you. And everyone shall clap their hands at the sights which shall be shown them. And the first letter of the w ord was N. Then spoke those who were named the Ringmasters of the Revels, saying: Sir Boynton shall mount upon a ladder I with steps, and a pickle bottle shall he adjust to his eye tiictt iie aa.y the better view the landscape o ' er, and his garb shall be fearful and wonderful, and his name shall be ' Napoleon-crossing-the-Alps. ' And it was so. And everyone clapped their hands at the sights which were shown them. And the second letter of the word was E. Then spake the Ringmasters of the Revels, saying: Lady Snow shall wear a shawl, and shall carry a hat-box, a bird- cage, and a bundle, and in her arms shall she carry a pillow, and she shall hop, skip, and jump from page to page of the newspapers that shall be spread upon the floor, and her name shall be ' EUza-crossing-the-Ice. ' And it was so. And Sir Baumgartner and Sir Boynton ambled about in the background, baying dismally. And their names were called The Bloodhounds. And all the people clapped their hands at the sights which were shown them. And the third letter of the word was W. And maidens gathered round about in raiment sad and flowing. And their name was called Witches-from-Macbeth. And all the people clapped their hands at the sights which were shown them. And the fourth letter of the word was T. And the Ringmasters of the Revels spake, saying: The name of Doc Van shall be ' II Trovatore ' and a screen set upon the table shall be his prison, and Lady Ashton shall be his lady-love. And Doc Van spake, saying: I will costume myself. And he put on the garb of a farmer, and all wondered, not knowing that Trovatore had been an agriculturist. But, il remembering Doc Van ' s knowledge of stage life, they were silent. And the scene wherein Trovatore posed as a farmer was finished. And jail the people clapped their hands at the sights which were shown them. And the fifth letter of the word was O. And the stunt performed this time was called Olympus. And Lady Wilcox was Minerva. And again the people clapped their hands. And the sixth and verily the last letter of the word was N. And Sir Sunny Jim did show up well as Nero. And he sat upon the table and waved his hands and the people scampered to do his bidding. And when he did signify that Rome was to be burned, lo, some standing behind the screen did wave red rags for flames, and Sunny, in a burst of inspired genius, played upon his fiddle. And the melody he played was There ' 11 Be a Hot Time ! And all the people clapped their hands at the sights which were shown them. The guests then would arise, being weary with much sight-seeing! but Doc Van detained them yet awhile, saying: I have planned yet another scene wherein I shall be the chief actor. And the people remained, and Doc did do a keen stunt as Newton seeing an apple fall. And the guests, who had known before that the word was Newton, did gladly sit on Van ' s proposal to act some more for them. And all the people clapped their hands at the sights which had been shown them. The Song of Hope.    Let cynics of the lesser vein Protest that all is wrong, But as for me, my life is full Of sunshine and of song. I know there ' s much of grief and woe; That many things are done Regardless of the rights of man Beneath the daily sun. But still, dear heart, be brave, nor fear, For love will right all wrong; And let ' s be glad that Ufe is full Of sunshine and of song. — Harrv H. Kemp. The Choice. To Youth upon the threshold of the Man, While yet the Deed beside the Impulse ran, The Angel of the Vision, whom God sends To sway the growing soul to nobler ends, With a celestial sheaf of flowers came. And named them over to him name by name : Each flower was an attribute of soul; One of them, courage, checked by self-control; Purity, shining like a holy star Which beckons on the stumbUng feet from far; Hope, gleaming Uke an emerald in the moon; Faith, love, and charity, and wisdom boon. Of all these flowers, Youth, take thou thy choice, Like distant music bade the heavenly voice, For of all these thou canst pluck forth but one To lend thy deeds perfume till life be done. Love will I take as mine, whate ' er befall. Well hast thou chosen. Youth, for love is r. ' l. — Harrv H. K Aip The Fable of the Fraternity Brothers. Once there was a Bunch of Charming Young Men known as the Sigma Chis. They occupied a Swell Dump on one of the Main Drags of the Village, and were occasionally induced to Remark that they were about the Warmest Birds in the Chafing Dish. Nothing was too good for a Sig. When it came to doing Real Stunts, the rest of the Population were Mere Spectators ; in fact, there was a Gen- eral Agreement among Themselves that they were in the Center of the Stage with the Calcium working Full Force. Among the many Prime Objects of this Fraternity was the cultivation of Brotherly Love. Each member was commonly supposed to have a Heart about the size of a Medicine Ball, and they all Practiced a Hand Shake that Threatened to put W. J. Bryan clear out of Business. At night they used to Sit around on each Other, whispering the Divine Confidences of All-absorbing Passion. It was a Real Treat for the Neighbors to watch the Goo-goo Proceedings at Vacation Time. When a Rude Cabby drove his Window Wagon up to the Front Gate and seized one of the Brothers from the midst of the Happy Family, the Scene was Awfully Pathetic. The Parting One was strained to the Breasts of those who couldn ' t see the Price of a Railroad Ticket, and a Fervent Prayer for his Safe Return was carefully confided to the Almighty. To the Outside World this was vaguely explained as the Sig Spirit. No one could get Next to its Real Mean- ing, but it must have been something Fine and Fancy. At least it provided every Sig with a Full Mess of Trust and Charity for Anything with a Maltese Cross on its Clothes. Now one day there Chanced to arrive in the Peaceful Hamlet a nifty-looking Young Party named Harold. Nobody seemed to know his Pedigree, but when one of the Watchful Ones espied the Emblem of the Fraternity nestling in the Prescribed Place on his Vest, the Sigs knew he was All Right. The Reception Committee hastened at once to the Food Shop where Harold was Mooching his Stationery and gave him the Glad Hand. He handed them his Baggage very Reluctantly and under Severe Protest allowed them to conduct him to their Humble Home. The Brothers immediately grew Awfully Fond of Harold. He was so Enter- taining. When it came to spinning Yarns of Travel and Adventure, he made Bay- ard Taylor look like a Kansas Food Inspector. Also he had a Great Memory and knew so many pleasing Anecdotes about the Fraternity. Finally, when the Fire burned Low and the Clock announced a Late Hour, Harold was permitted to go to Bed. When the Door closed on the last of his Admirers, a wonderful Change came over his Frank and Open Countenance. A Pawnbroker ' s Expression flitted into his Hazel Eyes and he Murmured to Himself: Aha! Methinks I get the Odor of Ready loney. And in the Meantime the Brothers rolled Over and Over and on their Shucks, impatiently waiting for the Break of Dawn and further Acquaint- ance with Harold. At Breakfast next Morning the Steward very Magnanimously ordered the Cook to decorate Harold ' s Plate with Two extra Fried Eggs of the Choicest Quality, and Recklessly presented the Honored Guest with a Brimming Glass of Pure Milk which had been set aside for the Day ' s Supply of Bread Pudding. He knew that he would have to Duck the Bill Collectors for a few Days, but Figured that the Extra Charm of Harold ' s Manner would Amply repay him for a few Hasty Sidesteps. Harold was Flattered. Such Evidences of Loving Care, he said. Always sprang a Leak in his Reservoir, so he took a few Minutes Off to work in the Tear Department. The Sig Spirit sifted Gently and Calmy through the Anatomy of Everyone Present and they all felt very Closely United. After this memorable Meal he presented the Chapter with a Beautiful Stein, all covered with lovely GermanMottoes, as a Minute Expression of his Gratitude. Then he informed them that he Must Go. Two of the Brothers assembled his Pajamas, Tooth Brush and Dirty Collar, and arranged him for Traveling Purposes. When Everything was ready, and Harold ' s Jehu was disturbing the Neigh- borhood with an Abundance of Purple Rhetoric, he stood in the Vestibule with an Abraham Lincoln Attitude and indulged in a few Farewell Remarks. He tossed them the old Smear about having the best Time in his Life, and how College Days occupied the Largest Place on the Calendar, etc., until Everyone had a Lump in his Throat. Then he permitted the Brothers to break three Knuckles on his Right Hand as a Parting Courtesy, and steered towards his Dee p Sea-going Vessel- About half way down the Flag Stones he Stopped and Thought. He had Evi. dently forgotten Something, and also he seemed Embarrassed. Harold turned Timidly around and Beckoned to a Prominent Sig, who prompt- ly fell off the Front Porch and hastened to his Side. Then there was a Short Explanation, and Harold extracted from his Pocket a Large, Prosperous-looking Wallet. There was a Trifling Matter, he said, about a Check. It seemed that the Crusty Gentleman who handled the Sponge at the City National Bank had re- fused to trade Him a Bare loo Bones for the Beautiful Pink Strip of Paper which he now Displayed. If one of the Boys, he said, would only Identify him, he would certainly receive the Blessing of a Grateful Brother. Then there was a Scramble and Three of the Athletic Members obtained the Coveted Seats in the Body of Harold ' s Vehicle. A Fourth One rode with the Driver. Harold was Triumphantly driven to the Coin Parlor and Proudly introduced to the Man behind the Bars. After that it was Easy. Harold stored the Paltry bunch of green Lithographs into his Pouch almost without Counting them. He seemed to be So used to Handling Money. Then he Stammered his Heart-fel Appreciation and took a Hike to keep his Appointment with the coming Pullman. After this the time Rolled pleasantly along with the Sigs, and the Memory of Harold ' s visit was Slowly fading into the Background, when One Day a Strange Man rang the Door Bell. The Brothers Piped him Off as a Livery Collector, and Many of the Most Cunning made their Get-away, but Someone finally answered the Call. When he opened the Door, Harold ' s Check, shorn of its Former Dignity by the Earthly Marks of the Canceling Machine, stared him in the Face. And th en there was a Special Assessment to preserve the Credit of the Fraternity. The Papas bought many Law Books and Drawing Instruments. Now, when a Polite Stranger from the Effete East, wearing the Maltese Cross on his Left Breast, makes them a Cordial Visit, they Carefully examine his Grip, and there is Nothing Doing in the Autograph Business. Also, the Beautiful Stein occupies a Central Place on the Hall Mantel as a Guard to the Unsophisticated. Moral: The Gold Brick Man disturbs even the Best Regulated Families. spring Spasms.

There was a young fellow named Coble, Whose air was exceedingly noble, But to work for his bread Or make use of his head, Was far too plebeian for Coble. 9 I once kaew a doctor, named Sloan, Who late o ' er his lessons would bone, But he got in a pickle.

As he grasps him by the arm, ' Tis only the Chapel whistle, sir. And not the fire-alarm. He hurries the panting guest upstairs — They climb two flights or more ; And just as they reach the topmost step They hear a sudden roar. Oh! what is that? quoth the frightened guest, Sure ' tis a fearsome fray. Oh no, indeed, the guide replied; They want a holiday. Pushing and shoving, they make their way Into the Chapel hall; And there by luck find room to stand With their backs against the wall. The breathless guest doth glance around With large and wondering eyes; In every way at once to look With all his might he tries. Who is this tall and mighty man Who Cometh in the door? That, said the guide, with a smile of pride, Is our good kind Chancellor. Old Hundred mightily then doth ring. Followed by psalm and prayer; The Chancellor looketh up and around, Doth meet an expectant stare, Doth sadly and solemnly shake his head, And sayeth in tones severe, Alas! You ' ve gone completely daft On holidays, I fear. Continueth he, The only thing That really troubleth me Is that the reason for a holiday I cannot clearly see. And as to this rumor that ' s floating about Concerning a Gym dedication. There ' 11 be none at all ' till the Seniors grave Have finished their education.

How do you wind the big fellow around your finger so? the Queen was asked. Oh! get him infatuated and it ' s easy, cooed Omphy. Have you ever noticed how Lillian Dreibelbis makes Homer Berger jump over the stick? And she had the giant show the visitor how he carried a music roll, a new hat, a roll of lace, and a sack of chocolates. The royal barber was reciting how he had made a wig for King Midas to cover the asses ' ears. That doesn ' t qualify you for a job in this shop, said Lee Bryant. How on earth would you treat such asses ' heads as Ben Jones ' , Cecil Fay ' s, Stub Land ' s, and Ward Coble ' s? The late artist of the Midas court then humbled himself and asked for Shike ' s job of shining shoes. Vulcan had received his commission as blacksmith for the gods. Mind you, now, Jupe, he admonished his thunder-ruing dad, although I ' m wiUing to be the patron god of the forge, I won ' t stand for any of the brass work the co-eds turn out in Fowler Shops. Lifting his half-ton sledge, he turned to the anvil. The unsuccessful suitors for Helen ' s hand were binding themselves to help Menelaus to protect his home. It ' s bound to work, boys, they agreed. See how the Sig Alphs help Cupid Haddock and Len White rush their fairs. And they took two dances apiece on Helen ' s program. The followers of Bacchus had torn Orpheus to pieces because he played sad tunes for them]when he lost Eurydice. That ' s just the way we T. N. Es felt when Chancy gave us the slow and sorrowful, growled the grape-laden god. And he advised the later-day revelers to on with the. dance, nevertheless. Mercury had spun his last tale, put the myriad-eyed Argus to sleep, and made away with lo. Whew! he ejaculated, mopping his brow. That ' s nearly as bad as try- ing to get a doctored Chemistry Lab. note- book past Cady. Speeding aloft, he thanked Juno for not putting that task in his way. After brief periods of faithfulness to Vulcan, Mars, Adonis, and Anchises, Venus transferred her affections to iEneas, the son of her last flame. Cheer up, she gaily replied to Ank ' s protests. Get a Freshman yourself and you ' 11 soon forget me. You see, I have to play this college widow role to a finish. Following in her worthy footsteps, Ann Hawk looked over the roll of students.

But Merle has found that even this is not very safe for love-affairs. The gods had swiped Berenice ' s beautiful locks from Venus ' shrine and placed them as a comet in the heavens. But oh, they wailed, if we only had got Marie Sinclair ' s puffs! And Venus refused to be comforted. Fable of the Society Misfit Who Honked His Way to Prominence. i Once there was an Ambitious Young Sod-breaker, named Bales. He was Bursting with Ner ous Energy. As he pulled the Burrs from the Old Man ' s Corn Patch or Coaxed a Scythe over the Jimson Weeds, his Pipe Dreams were simply Exhilarating. Legislative Halls, Supreme Courts, and Oratorical Figures chased themselves across his Elastic Mental Vision like a Charge of the Light Brigade. Francis (for such was his Front Handle) didn ' t See how he could resist the Temp- tation to wring a few million Buckerinos out of the Country ' s Resources, and he was Eager for the Start. His Folks managed to keep him behind the Plow till he Assumed the Dignity of Long Trousers, but after that there was Nothing Stirring for Francis at the old Homestead. He was Keen for an Education. His first Move was toward the High School in the County Seat. There he certainly made a Big Cleanup. In his Senior Year he was Touted as a Rising Young Statesman, and Everyone in the County expected Great Things of him. And then Francis started for K. U. He secured a Nice Room in the Student District and prepared to do the Wet Towel stunt to a Frost. But there was a Sophomore next door, who gave Francis some ' aluable Suggestions. Among other Things, he advised Our Boy to purchase a Pew in the Chapel and Get Wise on Religious Topics. So therefore the youthful Senior began to keep a Seat Warm each Morning in the Auditorium of the Uni- versity. And, Alas! Herein lies the Beginning. One morning as Our Hero reclined in the Accustomed Seat, listening the Bum Advice of a Foreign Missionary, he suddenly Waked Up to Himself. For some Time he had felt a Strange Craving which he could not explain. He had examined his Train of Thought to locate the Difficulty, but still it was a Chinese Puzzle to him. But now a Great Light burst upon his Bulging Brain. When a delicate Piece of Organdie flitted up the Aisle with the Latest approved Kangaroo Walk, Bales felt his Heart-strings Snap, and from That on he was a Changed Boy. He then realized that a Large Taste of Co-ed Society was the only Balm for his Throbbing Heart. But, sad to relate, it was not Easy Francis did not seem to be able to Make Good at the Side Door of Society. He thought the Co-eds must be afraid of Him, so he cultivated a Mild Manner. That gave them all Courage and they Soused him Good and Hard. Then he began to Cultivate the Art of Dressing, but the pretty little Dew Drops called him a Clothes Rack and told him to have a Talk with Himself. All this only Aroused Francis to further Energies and he put on Sketch after Sketch, but the Lid was On for True. The only Thing he Acquired was a Fine Lot of Bitter Experience. School turned out at this Time and Busines Picked Up for Bales. The Old Gentleman had Nabbed a few Sections of Land before the Boom, and now, in view of his Son ' s Educational Triumphs, presented him with a Collection of Prairie Dog Holes and Speargrass, known as a Ranch. Our Hero did not stop and talk about it with the Mail Man, but immediately caught some Bloated Mark from the East and traded him his share of the Great American Desert for a Second-hand Honk Wagon. And now when Francis returned to School in his Devil Cart, Everything was Different, As he scorched down the Main Avenue all the Shirt Waists gave him the Chautauqua Salute and walked as Close to the Curb as Possible. He soon had more Lady Friends than he could handle, and began to look for another Mark on whom to sluff oflF the Surplus. The Boys called him Fordie, and put their Arms around him in the Law Class. Now our Friend Francis, although he still Soaks his Crackers in the Coffee occasionally, is strictly in the Swim. When it comes to Buzzing with the Butterflies, he is All the Candy. Moral: Never Judge a Race by the Start. TIRST AID TO LEMONS Turnverein or Ice Factory— Which? Once, long ago, there was a Twinkler among the Gridiron Constellation at K. U. It went by the Name of Charley, and it seemed to assume the Shape of a Horse when it came to Bucking the Line. Charley was a Bachelor and didn ' t care a Whoop for the Girl in the Grandstand who waved her Pennant at him when he lowered his Face and Plowed through the Enemy ' s Line with his Roman Nose. He was a Charley Horse when it came to Bucking the Line and Girls were far from Him. But then Charles, the Bachelor, was destined to Humiliation. The Wash- burn Game displeased him greatly. He sat on the Sidelines and Twinkled; but although he sat on the Sideline and Rumbled until the Air was Blue, the Sideline didn ' t give a Red. Charley the Horse quit bucking the Line and began to Chaw Bee at the Hash House. He donned the Compass and Square to show the Coach that he was There in Cutting Ice, though it was easy to see that he had Cold Feet. At the Hash House, Charles ate three Square Meals a Day, but it finally af- fected his Heart, and the Corners hurt his Stomach. However, he didn ' t have a Cold Heart. At least one Twenty-ninth of February, in the LL.B.th Degree of Charley the Horse, his Heart Turned Warm. He got the Habit of Turning at.; the Hash House and found it Useful in German Exams and History Quizzes, and it is said he Turned Notebook Leaves with his Feet. On the Odd Day he also joined the Turner Verein. But the Worst is yet to come. It is said that the Turner, on that Odd Day, or the Night of that Day, made a Vow that caused her Doom and will Turn ' er to Ise. Moral: Gridiron Heroes may have Cold Feet, and yet possess a Warm Heart. Verdant Green. jp. Once there was a lean, lank, and hungry-looking guy arrived in school, by the name of Verdant Green — Gee, but he was verdant, too ! When he fell off the train, some frat fellows, thinking they saw a diamond in the rough, grabbed his suit-case and took him to their home for dinner. Well, Verdant talked during the meal of how he used to husk pumpkins and herd cattle, and when all arose from the table, he called to the most elderly one and said: Say, come here! and after getting him off to one side, he pulled from deep in his trousers a quarter and said: Is this enough for my meal? The boys laughed at the poor chap, and shook their heads, and wondered whether, if planted, he would not grow. Well, this same Verdant Green got into a political caucus or two and, after being run over a few times, his enthusiasm, as if in a dream, was aroused and he began to think he was about the toad in the frog-pond when it came to Class spirit. To show this, he went out one night and crawled up on a ladder about two or three rounds and painted his Class numerals on the Stand-pipe. Could you but see and know that fellow to-day! Time has worn the deep glossy green color from his appearance, and to-day he stands as one of the fore- most athletes in school, and a man who believes the only way to win in the end is to get Wright.

PI PHI HOUSE. Meeting called to order with all present but Sister Weaver. (Following conversation heard at ' phone: Hello! . Stan? . No, meeting not over yet. ) Minutes read and approved. Sister Evans reported that Pan- Hellenic had decided to cut out the making cut of programs in advance. Big discussion as follows: Sister Critchfield: Well, I ' m not in favor of that, so there! Sister Stevens: I just hope they don ' t stop it. Sister Mitchell: Ditto. Sister Luckan: Ditto. The rest of the sisters: Ditto. Sister Abrahams: But if we don ' t ratify it, it will look bad, and those old Thetas will say that we are afraid we won ' t get our programs full. Upon taking the vote, the action was ratified, but with protest. As Sister Weaver had not appeared, a committee was appointed to send Tom home. (Noise of man falling off porch and running down street.) Committee reported the finding of Messrs. Breidenthal, Rowlands, Perry, Leonard, Robertson, Singleton, Banks, and Sheridan waiting without. Motion passed to ask Central not to connect with No. 285 again, and to inform Mr. Myers that he was a regular pest. KAPPA AI,PHA THETA HOUSE. After locking all the doors, barring the windows, and severing the telephone connections, the meeting was solemnly called to order. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. Sister Moody reported from the Pan- Hellenic that the questions of rushing rules and party programs had come up, and asked for instructions. After a long discussion — all on one side — as to rushing rules, it was finally decided that, if they could get the other sororities to agree not to pledge for six weeks, it would give the Thetas ample time to have spoken to the rushees, and that they would not suffer the consequences of a very short talking season, such as came this last year. Moved and carried that Sister Moody be instructed to gain a six- weeks rule. Sister Hopkins then spoke on party programs, and said it was such an easy way to get rid of those you didn ' t want to dance with to make out programs by ' phone, and that she wanted all good dancers, and could more easily take her choice this way. Sister Bingler, on the other hand, said she thought they should not be filled out ahead, as it gave the fellows a show to see who was at the party to wait, and that it gave all the girls a chance to meet new men. Sister Lola Smart said she wanted to keep ahead, for by this method she could save plenty of dances for Billy and Millard, or Otto and Millard, or Otto and Billy, depending on which she went with. Sister Alwine Wilhelmi, however, said that she considered it best Theta policy to cut it out, as it was theoretically truly democratic. Sister Rauch giggled that she thought so, too. The motion was thus passed. Grievance Committee reported that only twenty-two of the twenty-six girls at last Beta party were Thetas, and asked Beta girls to bug up. Meeting adjourned, and Forde, Woodward, Armsby, Power, Grignard, Ran- kin, Clark, Beard, and Loucks let in. KAPPA KAPPA GAMMA HOUSE. After waiting for the major part of Phi Delta Theta to leave, the meeting was called to order with only Sisters Merstetter and Dreibelbis still on the porch. Minutes of last meeting read and approved. Grievance Committee grieved that electric light company was not holding to agreement to turn out corner arc early. Also, that Lee Bryant ' s light burned too brightly. Also against repetition of Beta- Phi Delt midnight track meets, as the girls stayed up and lost too much sleep in their keen interest. Sisters Dreibelbis and Merstetter entered, having finally dismissed Harry and Homer. Picture Commitee reported that Con Squires had finished all except Sister Dreibelbis, and she was reprimanded; and Sister Merstetter said that it was all a pose, and that she wanted to be coaxed. Ph Delts wanted to go strolling, so meeting adjourned. Found Art Gray on steps waiting for . CHI OMEGA HOUSE. Meeting opened with everyone present, as the party-list was up. Minutes of last meeting read, and motion passed to strike out the account of the fist-fight which occurred during discussion of party. Doorkeeper answered ' phone, and stated that some Beta had ' phoned that a brother had been bitten by a rattlesnake, and asked if anyone had any whisky. (Chorus of Yes, I have a big bottle upstairs. ) Moved and carried that ten dozen more towels be made in next two weeks. [At this point the party-list was then taken up, and, as the Secretary took a prominent part in the altercation, the rest of the meeting is unchronicled. Perhap it is just as well.] The noise of the howling mob on the front porch became so great that further talk was made impossible, so a truce was declared, and the meeting adjourned.

It was finally decided to allow him to affiliate. Meeting adjourned to allow time for putting up the stock before it grew dark. PHI GAMMA DEI TA HOUSE. Meeting called to order in due form.

The Lament of the Senior.   9 When you sit and think about yourself the night before you leave, And remember that on quiz day what you knew was in your sleeve, And all the dates in history were snaps if on your cuff, And what a gun you seemed to be when you had learned to bluff, And how in chemistry you ' d work and scab and grind and sweat. And a grade of 23 or so was all that you could get, And parties came most every night and you just had to go, For your dad was sending on the tin he wanted you to blow. You think of old Class politics, of tickets pink and white, Of Class scraps on the Golf Links ti 1 you couldn ' t sleep at night. Of wading in the fountain when they took away your shoes. And fighting like a wild man against those egg shampoos. You sit and think of all your 3s and wish that they were is. And can ' t quite see how all your pals had been such awful guns, There ' s one thing that you ' d like to do and want to mighty bad. And that s to pack your trunk and go back home to work for Dad .

Ere we close this, our last effort on behalf of the Class of 1908, let us offer a brief guide, lest you be led astray. A chronology of plain facts becomes tiresome reading, even to the most tech- nical of students, and es pcially would this be found so in the Annual Jayhawker. With this idea in mind, and following the line of least resistance, we have written this volume. Herein we have recorded phases of students ' lives that have hereto- fore only been whispered or possibly only thought of. It is that which one student dislikes that five hundred other students enjoy. If you have been made the blunt of a joke, look upon the next page and see what the other fellow got. It is from you and your Alma Mater that the material has been gathered to fill this book. We have tried to make the 1908 Jayhawker truly a book of the Class, and have given every Senior an opportunity to help write it. We wish to credit the staff members for their conscientious efforts in making the book, and also the many contributions in manuscript and art from students, not only inside, but outside of the Class. We shall now rest our case and await your verdict. Editor -in-Chie I. Associate Editor. Ihisi)U ' ss Manager. EVERY MAN AND WOMAN IN KANSAS SHOULD READ THIS. A. A.

We sell Bell Brothers Pianos at prices consistent with the quality and en easy payments if desired. Lawrence, Kansas. Bell Brothers Piano Co. Gentlemen: — I write to express my appreciation of the good work you are doing in manufacturing upright pianos in this city. I have used one of your pianos for several months and am delighted with the even scale, perfect action and brilliant tone of the instrument. The treble — usually weak in an upright— is almost equal to that of a grand. Your pianos are made of the best materials and may be expected to wear for a long time. I consider that they need only to be known to be ranked with the best instruments of the country by the most noted builders. They are far superior to the average upright and equal to any. Very truly yours, Charles S. Skilton, Dean of the School of Fine Arts, University of Kansas. BELL BROTHERS PIANO GO. Lawrence. Kans. W. J.
