Indications point to a fast and close contest. Some second team men play on the junior five, but this advantage is somewhat offset by the fact that some of the freshmen have played together on high school teams, and that, they have team work which is very difficult to break up. Unless the upper classmen are on the alert they may be caught napping. The freshleB have the spirit, and will develope more at class meeting Monday. The Juniors have determined to support, their team this time, and will be out In full force to cheer their warriors on to victory. A game will likely take place on the name evening between the sophomores and seniors, so a good evening's enter tainment is assured. The city people aro takfng an Interest In this contest and will probably be considerably In evidence on this occasion. Ten cents admission will be charged, and tickets can be secured of various classmen or members of the competing teams. .HHwM"::"K-H l I UNIVERSITY BAND INFORMAL 1 TO-iHIGHT A Relic of Ancient Rome. A magnificent photograph of the arch of Constantine at Rome has been received at the headquarters of the Latin department, and is now on ex hibition In room 204. It was consigned to the department by the world-famous Braun Protograph company of Paris. The frame of the plcturo Is of dark Flemish oak, and its dimensions meas ure 65x85 centimeters. The view repre sented was taken from the baae of the Coliseum, the. Palatine hill being on the right of the arch and the Coelllan hill on the le.ft. Through the center of the arch the vista of the Applan Way Is visible. The arch of Constantine was erected in the year 315 and Is the last great structure that was built by the Roman people, on which account spe cial interest Is attached to It. The photograph Ib one of the finest of its kind In existence. Its completeness of finish and the perfect delineation of every feature represent the highest at tainments In the art of photography. As Is rarely the case In photographs of structures of this size, each angle is brought out clearly and no parte aro blurred or obscured. The skill of the artist is also evidenced by his suc cess In overcoming the fault of the per spective, whereby the upped parts of tall structures usually appear sloping, ft is interesting to note that the photo graph was developed from thebrlglnal negative, and not enlarged from a smaller one, which is an achievement it unusual merit. This photograph forms a valuable addition to the col lection of views of Roman architecture now owned by the Latin department, and is highly prized not only because of Its artistic excellence, but also be cause of the historical association of its original. -Have C.

Hobson. the noted Eng lish sociologist, who is now making a six month's lecture tour of the coun try, has been secured by the depatt ment of economics and sociology for two addresses before University peo ple. The first will be given next Tues day evening, the 24th, on the subject "Socialism True and False,'' and the second a week later, March 21st, on "England's Outlook in the Now Cen tury." Both will be given in the old chapel, at 8 o'clock, and will be free to the public. Mr. Hobson is well known to University students of soci ology and economics through hlB "Evo lution of Modern Capitalism," which Is a standard text-book in Nebraska and other universities throughout the country. He is equally well known to the general reading public through his. various contributions to the dis cussion of the increasingly important subject of socialism and Bocial prob lems qf today. His two books, "The War in South Africa," and "Imperial Ism: A Study," the outgrowth of his personal Investigations In South Africa, have made him the leader of the Eng lish anti-Jingoes. The English Fortnightly Review has declared Mr. HobBon to be "the most subtle, clear-Blghted, and penetrating of living economists, either here (Eng land) or abroad." Harper'B Weekly says of hlmt "He belongs to the Car-lyle-Ruskln school of political econ omy, which has done much to reani mate the dry bones of what used to be called, rightly enough, the 'dismal science,' and has infused into It the poetry and vivid interest that belongs to human life as a whole. Being so unorthodox and advanced in his theories, he is still looked upon with distrust and suspicion by the aca demic economists of Britain, although the ideas he stands for haVe met with acceptance and furtherance among economists In America and on the con tinent of Europe, and ho has more than once been cordially Invited to settle In this country. He is tall, spare, and of delicate health, one of those ardent spirits enthusiastic for work even be yond his strength, as if the sword were wearing out the scabbard." The noted economist is a friend of Dr. Ross, who became acquainted with him while in London, and will be the guest of Dr. Ross while here. He comes here from a series of lectures at Wisconsin University, and from here goes to Chicago for another series. Although his first lecture docs not oc cur Until Tuesday night, he nrrlvcB to day and will spend Sunday and Monday In a renewal of his London acquaint ance with our professor of sociology. University peopje and city people as well will undoubtedly avajl them selves In large numbers of the Invita tion to llBten to one of the leaders In the sociological thought of today upon two of the most Important topicB of the time. VALUABLE MATERIAL. This week ends with no great im provement in athletic progress. The weather continues cold and damp. The baseball and track men were out Tues day and Wednesday, but have had to Btay Inside since. Unless It warms up before lon the athletics of the spring of '03 will be BerloiiBly handicapped on account of a lack of outdoor work. The high east bleachers have been removed, and tho field will be put In condition at the earliest opportunity. There Ib an aboundance of track material and baseball candidates are quite numer ous. Not many old baseball men are back, but Borne fine new material has Bhown up. The tennis association meets Monday. New officers will be elected and the plans for the year laid out. According to tne present outlook, baseball and track men will be seri ously handicapped on account of hav ing to drill five hours a week at 5 p. m. In conjunction with their athletic work, which will be almost impossible, and as drill Ib compulsory, athletics will have to suffer. Commandant Chase Is reported to have taken the opinion of tho battalion captains on the. exemp tion question last night, and to have received an unanimous opinion In favor of athletics. What decision has been made or Is now making has not, how oVer, been discovered, but everyone Is hoping for tho best. Historical Society Obtains Copies Kansas-Nebraska Papers. The historical society has received copies of tho preliminary bills and amondmentB relating to and preceding tho Kansas-Nebraska bill. TIicbo bills dato from 1844 and consist of 300 type written pages. The originals can only be found In the document rooms at Washington, and the work of both University and other students of Ne braska history has boon seriously handicapped by their Inacccssablllty. Now that they have been obtained, It Ib hoped they will caBt much light upon the motives of Douglas and his allies in tho Kansas-Nebraska movement, nnd help to explain the influences at work In this Important epoch. Another New Feature. Tho endeavor, already quite success ful, to maKe tho convocation hour more popular, will lead to tho Introduction of another new feature, beginning next week. In the form of once-n-week talks on "departmental progrtBfl." Prof. H. R. Smith will lead off next Wednesday with an account of the ndvnnce made In recent days In the study of nnlmal husbandry. Each week thereafter aomo member of Borne department will present In popular form a summary of recent progress In alms, methods, and accomplishments n hB particular field. The adoption of these new features from time to time hus already had some Influence on covocatlon .attendance, and the experiment is being watched with Interest by those who wish to see con vocation becomo the center-hour of University life, and the ono place In which University "spirit" and unity may have full opportunity to develop and manifest itself.
