MONEY TO LOAN On Personal Property, at Passon's Cheap Bazar, Mas. Street. J. JOHNSON SON, generals. As he was faithful in the little, he was successful in the the great.

And this is the American school of diplomacy, statesmanship, and of war." In years to come your "little folks" will be teasing you to tell them some of our college experiences. You are anxious to please them and ransack your cranial cavities only to find that what you were looking for has slipped away. Suddenly you think of the Annual on your shelves and all is well. GovEiiNon Russell, of Massachusetts, who is spoken of as a pplendul orator for the Senior class day program, is a young man of more than ordinary ability as is shown by his success in twice securing gubernatorial honors, although his opponent represented the political party which almost always carries the state. As an orator he is said to be polished, pleasing, and of the year 1893 is carved.

This simple representation is of untold value to science. It proves beyond he shadow of a doubt, that foot ball did not, as currently believed, origin ate in England, but was of the intellectual pastimes of pie-bistoiic men. (It also throws a ilood of light upon another obBCure but important point the intellectual development of the persons who made these carvings.) Again, with the assistance of a good imagination a conclusion of the utmost importance can bo drawn from this earning. The little foot ball, if observed in the proper light, clearly demonstrates the existence of colleges acd universities in prc-historic times. But why attempt to describe that which exceeds all description? The tables are accessible to all and are able to speak for themselves.

If they are once seea they will always be remembered. W. W. R. Prof.

Carruth has been giving a series of talks in chapel this week. On Tues day his talk was on fraternities and the large attendance showed the nterest which the students feel in tho subject. He 6aid that while fraternities certainly can and do do much good by bringing students together and giving them opportunities for the formation of lasting friendships, care should be taken by the fraternity members that they do not become too exclusive and acquire a feeling of superiority to other students1, or seek to gain honors for their fellow members simply because they are members. He said that a student's joining a fraternity before he has been in school for at least a year indicates cowardice both on the part of the student and of the fraternity. The fraternities have undoubtedly caused an undue increase in the cost of living in the University, and also in the number of parties with late hours; but while deprecating the non-fraternity students should be careful not to fall into the same errors as the fraternity students.

On Wednesday he spoke on Intra-mural Manners. The adyice which he gave was forcible and well put and should awaken the students to a sense of their short comings, especially "the sitters and spitters on the stairs." eat SViarket. Special Rates to Clubs. 837 Massachusetts Street. K.

The class in Charity and Corrections should prepare itself to deal with the spring poet." The signs of the times are propitious for his appearance. For tbe next three months much gray matter will be consumed in the btnins of grave seniors in deliberating on tbe momentous questions of their "last act The oratorical splurges made by all colleges in the last few weeks have brought out many protests against the lack of facilities for proper oratorical training. Cultivate decision, energy, dispatch, forethought and skill in employing resources, for they are tbe qualifications which achieve wonders in the world's progress. The celebration of the annual intercollegiate field day on McCook field will be a gala day looked forward to by all the schools as the crowning event of each college year Students of history have lost much in the death of Mrs. Martha J.

Lamb, editor of the Magazine of American llis-tory. Attending, under protests of friends, to her editorial duties up the last moment, she shows how thoroughly she devoted herself to the great task of accumulating facts of present history. Queen Margaret college, the only college in Scotland for the University education of women, will be incorporated with Glasgow University as its department for women. The endowments will used for the exclusive education of women but the school will have greater influence by being connected with Glasgow. The next step -will be co-education.

Do you yalue a library? Now is the best time for you to begin collecting one for yourself. Tbe books with which you become familiar at school will make a foundation for the most practical library a student can collect. A few books added each year will give you in a short lime such a working companion as you could never bny at one time. Libraries are not bought, but built. The Rev.

Edward Everett Ilale in hia oration on Washington said: "lie was born to small made them "great. lie was educated with comparatively small advantages; he made them the first of advantages. He was brought up among simple people. He learned among the simple people the way in hich to dictate to kings and to handle THE OLD WINDMILL.

22, "J3. Feb 20. 1803. To the literary editor of the Students Journal: Mr. W.

D. Uowelis, in his "April Hopes" makes the following assertion: "The mind of a man is tbe court of final appeal for the wisest woman. Till some man has pronounced upon their wisdom, they do not know whether it is wisdom or not I should like to ask what could have been Mr. Howell's intention in saying such a thing as that? Did he really mean what he said, or did he have some special purpose in making the asertion? M. E.

II. In the opinion of the literary editor Mr. Howells really meant what he said. The women he shows U9 do not generally possess independence, or even thoughtfulness, and when he does give a feminine character either of these dan gerous qualities he may be expected to plunge her so deeply into trouble and love that she will sincerely repent having tried to have any existence of ber own. and will ever after submit all points of doubt to the "court of final appeal." We in the west, and especially we of the co-educational schools do not know what to make of some authors' yiews of women.

Philip Gilbert Hammerton's statement that women never follow the intellectual iife unless led to it and through it by men, takes our breath away, and we ponder over Mr. Howells assertions and can't account for them. By the way, if the literary editor may be allowed a question in turn, what does Mr. Howells mean by giving U3 such a young woman Peace Hughes? She seems independent and thoughtful and decidedly inclined to rely on ber own judgment. In spite of all this she is not represented as belongiug to the genus crank.

Isn't she rather off-color? VALUABLE RELICS. The great University of Kansas has not passed through its twenty-five years of existence without valuable results. One has only to go on an exploring expedition about the University to find many interesting things. In Professor Black mar's room, for instanca two relics of great value are kept. These are two tables which, it has been recently dis-coyered, were found in the mounds of the ancient Mound-buildere, and which are believed to have been carved and decorated by prehistoric Indians.

The markings, indeed, which may be seen upon them could hardly have been carved by any others than the Mound-builders. Hereon one of them are curious hieroglyphics, Phi Kappa Psies and Beta Theta Pies, characters so old that they are all covered with moss. There 'Shylock and Justice" appears. a thema which must have been developed almost at the be ginning of time. (The "Struggle for Liberity" does not seem to have been begun in ancient times, as it is not here represented.) At another place, a large and imposing "barb" appears; which shows conclusively that "barbarians" existed in prehistoric times.

Our imagination immediately carries us back to the time when a wide mediterranean sea of buN falo grass occupied the whole of sunny Kansas; when little "barbs," the remote ancestors of the present "Independents," roamed the plains unscared. Yonder an Indian kicking a foot ball On Monday the House of Represents tives Jn committee of the whole passed the bill giving the University $70,000 for building and $25,000 for sundry expenses. The bill was easily passed, and the feeling is that the senate will act favorably on it sometime today. The enormous growth of the University has made this increase neceetwry and the Jouknal is pleased to see that our legislators take such an interest in state educational matters. The large attendance at chapel exercises on Tuesday morning shows that when something of interest to students is to be said and is properly announced, they will be there.

This should be of interest to the faculty as indicating th.t if chapel attendance is desired tbe exercises must be so conducted that students cannot remain away. Many of the students have expressed their desire to spend a half-hourin restful change from exacting work, but complained that the chapel exercises do not rent them. More attention-should be giyen to the manner of conducting these exercises, that the chapel at our alma mater may keep abreast of the progress in other departments. Tntc telephone experiments by Prof. Blake at Kansas City as announced by the Journal last week have proved to be very successful.

The professor had a large audience which, after the lecture, was treated to a musical feat with the musicians nearly one hundred miles away. All numbers on the program rendered in St. Joseph. were distinctly heard by the Kansas City audience and the St. Joseph musicians also (lis tinctly heard the applause of their audience through the telephone.

The loud speaking telephone attachment, upon which Prof. Blake has been experimenting for some time, was thu3 proved en tirely practicable. Everybody was pleas ed with the novelty of the entertainment, and scientists speak well of the new attachment. This was the first attempt in the west to use a long distance telephone and Prof. Blake deserves great credit for his enterprise.

As announced in another column of the Journal, a beginning has been made in our school of awarding scolarships. Mr. Jacobs was an enthusiastic student of Prof. Sayre, when the professor was a tutor in Philadelphia, and is anxious to further the cause of systematic instruction in pharmacy. The intention is to create a permanent fund which will furnish scholarship under the direction of Prof.

Sayre. The scholarship is to be given with the promise that the student will repay the amount to the fund as soon as he is able to enrn it. Although Mr. Jacobs is a comparatively young man, he feels that the time to give aid to education is while he can yet watch its effects' The University may congratulate itself on the fact that the ice has been broken and may feel sure that, now that the example has been set, new scholarships will follow for other departments. No doubt many are ready to give such aid who have neyer before thought of St.

Another of our Btudents has been attacked with tbe Columbian Guard feyer. Wilbur Kinzie left yesterday for Chicago to make application tor entrance into the Columbian Guards. This ends his connection with the University Next year he will probably study law at Cornell. Tuckef went to Lansing today, to take photographs of the state penitentiary. He intends to take views of the exterior and interior, about a dozen in all.

Some of the latter will contain the portraits of notorious convicts. The photographs are for the use of Professor Blackmar. A great many students have read B. O. Flower's article in the February Forum on Low Ethical Ideals in our Higher Educational Centres.

Most of them think that in deportment Pt least theUniversN ty compares favorably with Princeton and Yale. Mr. F. Mailatt of the department of entimology at the State Agricultural College called at the University Monday to visit his former student Dr. Williston.

The College Republican Club yesterday elected W. L. Gardner Treasurer, and Rash, Steele and E. E. Hopkins delegates to the State Republican League Convention which meets at Topeka Friday and Saturday.

Invitations are out for an Independent dance Friday night. Students, If you need anything in the drug line call at Straffon Zimmerman's. Shorthand Lawrence, Institute Kansas..
