CHAMPIONSHIP.
Tuesday Night Will Determine
Class Champions.
On Tuesday night will bo determined
the class basket ball championship for
this year. 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.

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.

Famous Economist Tuesday.
Mr. John A. 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.
