A record of one minute and forty seconds counts 100 points. The. winner must make at least 400 out of a possible "00 points hi order to receive the. prize, a $10 track suit. The requirements of the pentathlon are made ver, low, as it Is not the purpose of this event to break rec ords, so much as to promote, general athletic interest and also to develop it large, liumcbr of men for the state intercollegiate meet. Last Tuesday morning delegates from this University,- Donne, Vusley nii and' Hastings met in the. gyinnuh lum to form the State Athletic asso ciation. Those present were .tones of Hustings, Carver from Wesleyan, jjleed. irom Donne and I'rof. Hastings and Mooro from the University of Ne braska A constitution was adopted, subject to the approval of the athletic associations of each institution. Hcre tofore the association has had no real existence, and it will now be put on a ilrm basis. It was agreed that the In held on May 14 at Lincoln and the election of oflleers will occur on the evening of that date. The mee.ting was characterized by perfect harmony in regard to all bush .ness to be carried out and the outlook is bright for a real live sTato athletic .association. WII EM HI Continued from First Tage. tints while Knckctt stood beside him nild read the minority report at the same time. Hoth shies were yelling constantly and a motion to adopt the resolutions was unheeded or if car ried, passed unbeknown to the con tention, as they couldn't tell whether they were voting for the majority or the minority report. Hunting and Hawkxby were chosen .secretaries. The minutes of the one show that little was accomplished, but adjournment, the minutes of tint. oth er show that resolutions were adopted declaring for. free silver and favoring Hryan and Duller as candidates for 1000. With affairs in this unsatisfac tory condition tlte meeting adjourned sine die while representatives of cither side rushed to the telegraph office to get their own version into the Asso ciated I'rcss reports. CON VKNTI ON NOTKS. Several friendly scrimmages occur red oer banners and a large portion of one from Indiana found its way out of the. window. The gallery was wall packed with spectators, who seemed to enjoy Ihe proceedings as much as did the par ticipants. Prominent among these wiib Dr. Peterson and Mr. Snoddy. Tlio coolness witli which Warner conducted himself in the chair is meet ing with quite general commendation this week. Some of the banners were quite unique in design. Tammany was rep-y resented by a ferocious tiger's head; Indiana with black print on a silver background announced "'!- votes for free coinage." The Kentucky delega tion carried it-huge, eusign -bearing the likeness of a gigantic jug of bourbon. One of the most amusing event.s was Lien's futile effort to call the meeting-to order. Every thmvhe attempted .to "Hay-a word his "voice was drowned tytinjghty shouts from his opponents. Even the gallery was not safe from onslaughts, for some one. .imcerluinni ously threw n. center table up iiYuolfigl the .spectators. JUNIOR CLASS ELECTJ 0 S -Tiie dunior. class elected the -follow1 jng ofjlecrs last Friday afternoon :i President, MisS' Jennie- Fox; vice pres ident, O. IC.Uortlett; secretary, Miss Helen ypoda; "treasurer, O. U Whip ple. The meeting closed by a general utampetlo for the door, no motion to adjourn being made. GHflRTER GELEHU Continued from First l'njji'l way the tickets were disposed i 'hi not permit of any suuli rcprcenlu i ion. Upon the platform were rented Governor lloleomb. the regent, the chancellor, the faculty, ti ml nni of the city ministers. The theatre was fuslljful'y ilrcniat ed with scarlet and cream. From the proscenium arch, a large Hag was suspended. The decorations were about the same as those Ihut hnc been seen in previous yenri mid per haps they were a little more elabor ate. The program opened .wllh a recita tion by the llageiiow (irehtslra. ofter which prayer wns offered In- the Kev. Mr. StaulVer. 'I ne Olce (Mub then eiiuie out and sang one. of their popular songs. The audience ni'ide them come back and they sung one of their rollicking, humotous song in re sponse to the encore. Chancellor .MacLcnii, In Introduc ing President Draper of the I'nlver sity of Illinois, the speaker of the ev ening, made same ery pleasant re marks, which were1 very pertinent. President Diaper is a man of more than middle age. Mis gray hair would indicate that he was a man well on towards old age. lie is a gen ial, good iiatured looking man, of easy bearing and graceful presence. Ills voice is resonant and strong, and he speaks in such a way that every word he says can be understood. In opening his address he made a few remarks about the importance of the day and the. great nes.1 of the Uni versity, lie thought the growth of this institution and the 'quality of the work it is doing Utile, short of marvellous. 1'luuging into his nddiess he said that many tilings had led to the foun dation of Universities. The state, the nobility and the church, particularly the latter, instituted many of the ear ly Universities and Colleges. None of them were state institutions. I'celcs iastical zeal and private benevolence were the chief factors that brought about their organization. National Independence resulted in an educational revival, and Colleges sprung into existence very nipldly. Mont of them were denominational. Today none of these College., with perhaps the exception of Princeton, can lay claim to being Universities. 'I lie organintion of slate Universi ties ushered in a new era in the his tor.v ol education. Most of tlie.se state Universities have their root in the constitution of their states. They are articulated witli the secondary schools of the stale and have the ad vantage of having ihe confidence of the people. They are as stable as the states which lliey represent. The history or different state Uni versities is more or less alike. They have all had about the same successes to share and the same ditlleulties to meet. In the character of their work there arc but half a dozen of the prominent eastern institutions that t luil will compare with them. The early Ungllsli Universities were very aristocratic. No provision was made for tin- education of the poor. The American state Universities were founded on different lines. 'Hie best features of the rhigllsli Uulfursltlen were accepted and their llibeiiillty re jected. All students, no matter what their condition in life iniglif be, were admitted.. It was iutenled thai edu cation should lie brouglt to the very hearthstones of the peqile, ami the intention lias been mudegond. The state Universities made their courses practical while mt neglecting the humanities. Thei originators believed that education diould uplift the homo ami all if association. It was thought that the Industries need ed men with education along Indus trial lines. The program of the Unit ed States along the lints of Invent Ion has been due in a coim'dernblu degree to its schools. The balance of trade will nuer be in our favor unless sc'uinlific princi ples arc applied lo nm work more than they are in other countries. The curricula of our own Colleges and 'Universities must, be In touch with the farmers and laborers. The Universi ties as now count ltutei,-arc. giving a great mental uplift to labor. The UuivcrKlflcM have in some meas ure made philosophic thought applica ble to public questions. The well be ing of very cltleu is a concern of (deinoeratlc government. On every (jmnil there are aggregations of cupl tnl, and it is commonly thought that the individuals In these great aggre gallons of wealth have been privileg ed by special laws. It has come to be believed that all persons oro not eipiallv favored b the law The qui i Hon i a M-rimix nm- nnd demands recognition. It is the province of the UnivciMlv to consider the status ol soeie1,v. The movement which will re sult in a settlement of the question must In- based on research. Calholieily or spirit is a disling uIhIuiIiIc feature of state Universities. Deuomiuatloual schools have held that liad influence emanate from col lege and Universities which are un denominational. This is a mistake. Advantage is to be gained by eolftiw't with all sorts ol' people. Life Is grea er than a doginn. There are five times as many Presbyterians in the Univer sity of Illinois ns there are in the two Presbyterian colleges of the. state combined. Thee Presbyterians gain from contact, with the Methodists and llaptlsts. To. einracterize tins state University as gutless and irreverent would be to clurnctcrixc the state be hind it in the siutc way. It Is a mis take lo think tint the exclusion of de nominational Inching in the Univer sity is an exclusion of all spirituality from such an institution. The state Universities liUleve that toleration does not. mean the deadening of true spirituality. , The Universities having the protec tion of the stale are essentially pat riotic State Universities, in fact, were founded ii the dark days of this country. The student body at the state Uni versity is essenlially democratic. The students represent all classes, espe cially the middle class. Character and scholarship count for more than fam ily position. The student in the Uni versity must stand on his melts. All the influences aside for manhood and scholarship, fur an nihility of feeling and for a. betterment of things about us. The address ivaspunt'tualed through out, with liberal applause and the speaker had fie best of attention, al though he spoke for nearly one hour and a half.
