The winner must make at least 100 out of a. possible. .100 points in order to receive the prize, a $10 track suit. The lvcpiiremeuts of the pentathlon are made very low, a.s It is not. the purpose of this event to break rec ords, so much as to promote, general athletic Interest, and also to develop n. large numebr of men for the state Intercollegiate meet. Last Tuesday morning delegates from this rnivcrsity. Domic, Wesley n n and Hustings met in the gymnas ium to form the State Athletic asso ciation. . Those present, were Jones of Hastings, Carver from Weslcyan, (o.ed from Donne and Prof. Hastings and Mooro from the University of Ne braska. A constitution was adopted, subject to the approval of the athletic associations of each institution. Here tofore the association has had no real existence, nnd it. will now be put on a llfhi basis. It. was agreed that the in held on May 14 at Lincoln and the election of olllcers will occur on the evening of that date. The meeting was characterized by jje'rfect harmony in regard to all busi neR to be carried out and the outlook Is bright for a real live slate athletic association. CONVENTION ENDS IN II ROW Continued from First 1'agc Units while Sackett stood beside him and read the minority report at the same time. Doth sides were yelling constantly nnd a motion to adopt, the resolutions was unheeded or if car ried, passed unbeknown to the con tention, iih they couldn't tell whether Uxey were voting for the majority or the minority report Hunting and Hawkxby went chosen secretaries. The. minutes of the one show that little was accomplished, but adjournment, the. minutes of the oth er show that resolutions were adopted declaring for free silver and favoring Bryan, and Dutlcr as candidates for 1000. With affairs in this unsatisfac tory condition the meeting adjourned sine die while representatives of either side rushed to the telegraph ofllee to get their own version into the Asso ciated Kress reports. CON VKNTION NOTKS. Several friendly scrimmages occur red over banners and a large portion of one-from Indiana found its way out of the window. The gnllery was well packed with spectators, who seemed to enjoy the proceedings as much ns did the par ticipants. Prominent among these wns Dr. Peterson and Mr. Siindcly. The coolness with 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 resented by a ferocious tiger's head; Indiana with- black print on a, silver background announced "3!i votes for free coinage." The Kentucky delega tion ecixritd a huge, ensign bearing the likeness of a gigantic- jug of bourbon. One of the most amusing events was Lien's futile effort to call the nicer-lug-to order. Kvery time he attempted tx say a word, his voice was drowned by,injj"hty shouts from his opponents. '1'jven the gnllery wns not safe from onslaughts, for some one uneeiimoui oiiBly tjirew a, center table up among the spectators, J UNIOlt CLASS ELECT I ON. ThfJ. junior class elected the follow injt, qfilpera last Friday afternoon: President, Mips Jeunie Fox; vice pres ident,' "fj. K. Batlctt; secretary, Miss Hgleiv Woods; "treasurer, 0. G. Whipr plj'The, meeting closed, by a general ''HJunigedo for. the door, no motion to adjourn being made. CHARTER CELEBRATION ICoiilliiucd from Kind l'ugc wa, I lie tickets were disponed of did not penult of any such representa tion. Upon the plat form were scaled (lovcrnor lloleomb. the regents, the chancellor, the faculty, and most of the city ministers. The theatre was luslefull.v decorat ed with scarlet and cream. Krom the nrosceniiiiii arch, a large Hair was suspended. The decorations were iibniil the snine as Ihoxe that have been ween In previous years ami per haps they were a little more elabor ate. The program opened with a recita tion by the lliigcnow orchestra, oftcr which prayer was offered by the Kev. Mr. Stuuffcr. The (lice club then came out and snug one of their popular songs. The audience made them conic hack and they sung one of their rollicking, humorous songs In re sponse to the encore. Chancellor Mael.can. in introduc ing President Dniper of the Univer sity of Illinois, the speaker of the ev ening, made some ver, pleasant re marks, which were very pertinent. President Draper Is a man of more than middle age. Ills gray hair would indicate that lie was a uian well on towards old age. lie is a gen ial, good naturcd looking man. of easy bearing and graceful presence. His voice is resonant, and strong, and lie sneaks 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 greatness of the Uni versity, lie thought the. growth of this institution and the quality of the work it is doing little short of marvellous. Pl'ingiug into his address he said that many things hud led to the foun dation of Universities. The state, the nobility nnd the. church, particularly the latter, instituted many of the. ear ly Universities nnd Colleges. None of them were state Institutions. Kccles 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 rapidly. Most of them were denominational. Today none of these Colleges, with perhaps the exception of Princeton, can lay claim to being Universities. The organization of state. Universi ties ushered in a new era in the his tory ot education. Most of these state Universities have their root, ill the constitution of their status. They arc articulated with the secondary schools of the state and have the ad vantage of having llie conlldcn-c of the people. They are as stable as the states which they represent. The history of .different utate Uni versities is more or less alike. They have all had about the same successes to share and the same clilllcultles to meet. In the diameter of t hull work there are but half a dozen of the prominent eastern institutions that that will compare with them. The early Ungllsh Universities were very aristocratic. No provision was made for the education of tin poor. The American state Universities were founded on different Hues. The Im-kI features of the Knglish Universities were acecpicci ami incir uimeraiit.v iv - Jeetcd. All students, no matter what their condition In life might be, were ..,i.. ,ii. ..i i ..... i ..1...1 ..., .i.. . . ... tiiiiiiiitii.4 ii n iin ii ii-iiiii-ii iiiiii - iii - cation should be lirotiyhl lo tin er,v heart ImtnucH of Hie people, ami the intention lias been made guml. The slate l 'niv i'ihiI Ii-h iiiiule their courses practlenl while not neglecting the. liuuuiuitifN. Their originator,, believed Hint education should uplift the home and all its association. It was thought Hint, the industries need ed men with education along indus trial lines. The progress of the Unit ed States along the Hues of Invention has been due in a considerable degree to its schools. The balance of trade will never be in our favor unless sclent ilie princi ple's arc applied to our work more than they arc in other countries. The curricula of our own Colleges unci Universities must be lit touch with the farmers and laborers. The Universi ties as now constituted, arc giving a great, mental uplift to labor. The Universities have in some meas ure made philosophic thought applica ble to public questions. The well be ing of very citizen is a concern of democratic government. On every hand there are aggregations of capi tal, and it Is commonly thought that the individuals in these great aggre gations of woalth have been privileg ed, by special laws. It has come to be believed that all persond arc not equally favored by the law. The ques tion is a serious one .and demands recognition. Il K the province of Hie University to con.-ider I lie stains of i society. The movement which will re sult In a settlement of 1 lit question must be based on research. CathoHoliy or spirit Is a cllsllng ulslinblc fonttirn of slulo Universities. Oenoinltiutloniil schools have held that bad Influence euuinate from col leges and Universities which are un denominational. Tills Is a mistake. Advantage Is to be gained by contact witli all sorts of people. Life Is great er than a dogma. There are live times as many Presbyterian in the Univer sity of Illinois a there arc in the two Presbyterian colleges of the state combined. These Presbyterians gain from contact with the Methodists nnd Itantlsts. To chtirnelerli'c Hie state University ns godless and Irreverent .voulcl be to eluirueterle the state be hind It in Hie same way. It Is a mis take to think thai the exclusion of lie nomiiiational teaching in the Univer sity is an exclusion of all spirituality from such an Institution. The state Universities believe that toleration does not mean the ilcndcn.lug of true spirituality. The iTnlvcrs!tles having the protec tion of the state are essentially pat riotic. State Universities, In fact, were founded in the dark days of tills country. Tlie student body at. the state Uni versity is essentially deniocnitic. The students represent all classes, espe cially the middle class. Character ami scholarship count for more than fam ily position. The student jn the Uni versity must stand on his merits. All the itiilueuccs made for manhood nnd scholarship, for an nihility of feeling and for u betterment of things about us. The address waspunetuated through out, witli liberal applause and the speaker had the best- of attention, al though lie spoke for nearly one hour and u half. Kollowiug Hie address the orchestra played a popular selection, which brought forth considerable applause.
