Hawthorne Recitation Mr. Gibson The Final of a Berios of Gamoa Won by Omaha. A SucooaBful Moot. Varsity Team BhowR Strength. The last game of the series with the Omaha league was played on tho ball grounds Wednesday afternoon before n fair-sized crowd of enthusiastic sup porters of the 'varsity nine. Nine In nings of hard playing resulted In a score of 0 to 2 in favor of the Omaha men. Captain Bell's men put up a hard fight and played good ball, and although they were defeated, it was only because they were pitted against professional players. Errors wero rare and the Improvement made In the play ing of the team since the first game may be taken as a fair indication of what may be expected in tho future. Supporters of the scarlet and cream should not make the mistake of think ing that three successive defeats at the hands of the league team means that the university does not have a good ball team. On the contrary. Captain Bell has a team that any university aggregation In the west will have difficulty in de feating. The Omaha team was not brought here for the purpose of de termining which team waB the su perior, but the contests were looked upon merely as practice games, both by Omaha and the 'varsity, and as such they have been a great success. Our most competent men have been tried in their various positions and there haa been an excellent opportunity to determine who arc the best men, nnd tho line-up from now on will be bnsed principally upon the showing 1 made In these games.

HUGH WILSON TO ENGINEERING STUDENTS, The Engineering society held its regular meeting Wednesday evening. Hugh Wilson was the speaker of the evening and spoke on "Railroading as a Profession for College Mon." Mr. WilBon began his remarks by giving brlofly tho organization of a railroad and a general idea of tho work of tho different officers. He quoted tho defini tion of engineering as tho "ability to make a dollar earn the most money," and showed where an engineering edu cation would bo of ndvnntago in many of the departments. Mr Wilson gave examples showing the necessity for close attention to details and tho econ omy resulting therefrom. The neces sity for originality and not becoming a machine was strongly emphasized by Mr. Wilson, and in conclusion ho snld that tho problems In railroading wero dally becoming of such a nature that In order to meet them a higher edu cation was fast becoming a necessity. After this address, a short business meeting (was held. J C. Stevens has gone to Valentino. The civil and mechanical engineer ing departments are each organizing a baseball team and It Is very prohablo that a game will be played between these in the near future. THE WILL OF CECIL RHODES. Last Wednesday morning, during tho convocation hour. Chancellor Andrews spoke on the will of Cecil Rhodes. Tho regents being In session during the day were present and naturally the president, E. von Forrell, was called upon for a few remarks. Ho called tho attention of the students to tho fact that there was no necessity for find ing immediate use for everything thnt they studied, for it Is always best to store up a reserve force, which will Booner or later be called upon. Whort the world makes a demand for men of Intelligence and power. It haa alwayB found him In tho student. Thoreforo every hour devoted to study while In school means so much more ability to meet the requirements of the world at large. Chancellor Andrews then spoke brief' ly of the (will of Cecil Rhodes) which he considered a novel idea. Tho grant ng of fellowships to the different states will have a very beneficial ef fect. The conditions relating to tho securing of fellowships, the chancellor considered very admirable. The neces sity 0 student approbation before a candidate can obtain a fellowship- is of especial value, since professors ar prone to judgo a candidate t,oo narrow ly according to, hja Intellect. The will clearly showed, said the chancellor, that' Mr. -If nodes undoubt edly considered the English-speaking people as tho most eminently fitted to rule the affairs of the world. Chan cellor Andrews was of the opinion, however, that there were other nations who deserve their sharo of apprecia tion, one of whlph was Qe.rmanjr. .Un due stress has been placed upon tho importance of England, for the signs of the times undoubtedly point to tho United States as the1 futuro leader of progress. While tbofellowshlps at Ox ford will do a great deal for American scholarship, yet it should noj. bo con sidered that Oxford Is the scientific center of the world, but rather Cambridge.
