I don't know how these exchange notes will strike our dear brother of perfection, from Ottawa, who so mer- cilessly attacked the "feeble-minded- ness, tommy-rot and dry drivel" of the Cooper Courier, in a recent issue, but here's hoping .- The Advance, Kansas Wesleyan University, Salina.
We are indebted to the Ottawa .
Campus, a Kansas college publica- tion, which regularly runs one of the best exchange columns to be found in any college paper in the country, for a good portion of our inter-collegiate material .- The Washington Daily News.
Ottawa University won a fast game of baseball by a score of 2 to 1, from Missouri Valley College last week .- The Southwestern Collegian, Win- field, Kansas
The Ottawa Campus has been thrown into a delirium of fright be- cause her claim to being the oldest student publication has been question- ed .- College Life, College of Emporia, Kansas.
Poor old Campus, if we're such dubs here at Wesleyan, why devote four columns to us? There are some folks who consider all unaddressed matter theirs. The editorial which the poor old Campus so profusely at- tacked would have been written whether Ottawa University ever ex- isted or not. No abuse was adminis- tered to poor old Ottawa. As for the personal abuse of Mr. Shields, a care- ful perusal will show that no such article ever appeared in the Advance, but in the Salina Evening Journal. .. The other editorial referred to by the Poor Old Campus stated very plainly that it had no direct reference to any one college. If anyone is feeling any worse than the poor old Campus man, we will have to be shown .... Surely the poor old Campus will soon have her say against all the colleges of the state; College of Emporia, Friends, Cooper and Wesleyan have had theirs. If the rest of you are patient. you will get yours. This is our farewell, poor old Campus, to you. Goodbye-The Wesleyan Advance, Salina, Kansas. (N. B .- No sponge was enclosed with this copy of the Advance to care for the copious flow of tears when this sad farewell reached the Campus desk. The editorial in question will
-
fully explain the crepe which hangs on our editorial door, and the mourn- ful look upon the editor's face. It is very sad to receive official copies of the "last farewell" and “parting words" of
a contemporary, - even
though the farewell did occur some time ago .- The Campus.)

CLASS REUNION.
Class of 1905 Assemble in Ottawa During Commencement Week.
The class of 1905 is planning a re- union for commencement week. The day has not been definitely set but will probably be Tuesday, June 7th. The members of this class have now been "bucking" the world for five years and wish to get together to compare scars and revive school friendships.
It is probable that a dinner party paticipated in by this class will be held on the campus one day during the week. Miss Drusilla Moses, sec- retary to the president, is an alumnus of '05.
BUSINESS NOTES.
Miss Margaret Potter has returned after an absence of a few days at her home four miles from Ottawa.
The business college had planned to have a charivari for the benefit of the principal, Prof. G. H. Crain, and former classmate, Mrs. G. H. Crain, but owing to the sickness of Miss Hockersmith, who rooms near Prof. Crain's home, it was decided not to have one. Some of the college boys did make “much music" for the "newly-weds" last Saturday evening.
Miss Elsie Job, class secretary and treasurer, who recently completed the stenographic course, has accepted a position with the Star Grain & Lum- ber company, at her home town, Wellsville.
A young man from Baker, who halts his auto in front of the home of one of our former class mates at 915 South Main, recently appeared with only a horse and buggy. He decided to take the lady friend out driving. She asked to be allowed to drive, and he willingly gave her the lines. After

HOUSE WAS DIVIDED.
But Rivalry Over Baseball Game Did Not Cause Fall of Bachelors' Club.
Last week one of the most interest- ing ball games seen here this year was played between representatives of the "north" and "south" tables of the "Bachelors' Club." Great rivalry has existed between the two tables as to which could eat the most and who could play the best ball.
The game was played and the "north" table won, having partaken of more "work-out" than the rest. At the end of nine long innings, the score stood 13 to 9 against the "southern- ers."
The game was characterized by many brilliant plays (of course). One in particular was the play made by Jennings, the third baseman of the "north" table, when he, with a man on third and first, fielder a grounder, covered, third base and tried to throw the man out at first, while the man on third scored. Another feature was Schriener's batting and the heavy hit- ting in general.
Marion Hume wagered a bottle of liquid with Childears and Yarrow, that they would not get a three bagger. Childears won and Yarrow lost. It has not been learned whether the bets have been paid yet.
The line-up was as follows, with er- rors too numerous to mention: "South" table "North" table.

MISS PIRSCHER GOES ABROAD.
She Will Travel in Germany During the Summer Vacation.
Miss Johanna Pirscher, professor of German language and literature, will spend the summer vacation abroad. Immediately after the close of the school year she will leave for Balti- more, where she will take passage on the steamer Breslau of the North German Lloyd line, which goes to Bremen, one of the two important sea-ports of northern Germany.
From here Miss Pirscher will go south ward, making stops at the im- portant historic cities of Hilderheim, Goslar, Weimar and Dresden. Her ultimate destination will be the Giant mountains, where she will be joined by relatives.
Having sojourned here on the high- est mountains of Germany, north of the Alps, as long as the brief vacation will permit, she will return to Ameri- ca, possibly on the way home going via Munich in order to take in the "Passion Play," to resume her work in Ottawa University.
MEET IN THE WOODS.

PROF. CHAFFEE CHOSEN.
Dakota Man to Head Business Depart- ment Next Year.
At a meeting of the executive com- mittee of the board of trustees held Wednesday evening Prof. F. E. Chaf- fee, of Huron, South Dakota, was elected principal of the business de- partment to succeed Prof. G. H. Crain, whose resignation was announced some time ago. Prof. Chaffee will take charge of the work here next fall on the opening of college. He may move to Ottawa this summer.
Prof. Chaffee is principal of a large business school at Huron and has had many years' experience. He has been · under consideration for the place for some time.
Under his supervision some import- ant changes will be made in the de- partment. The short courses will be retained and some long courses insti- tuted.
Work has been started on the new building at Fifth and Main streets, where Prof. Crain will establish his business college next fall.
No action has been taken toward electing a successor to Dr. Harlan, of the history and economics depart- ment, and Prof. J. T. Rosson, of the academics mathematics department, whose resignations were announced some time ago. Rev. O. C. Brown, '02, of Lawrence, a member of the board of trustees, was down several days ago in consultation with Presi- dent Price and members of the board concerning the vacancies.
There are a large number of appli- cations for the two departments.
SEEK BEST THINGS.
Rev. W. T .. Jordan addressed a joint meeting of the Christian Asso- ciation in the Philal hall last Sunday afternoon. In his address he warned the students lest they let the common- place rob them of the best. He de- fined the best education as that which is derived unconsciously from outside influences, and the best college as that where the atmosphere is created by men who think the deepest and who are men of the greatest culture.
Special music for the meeting was furnished by a ladies' quartette, made up of Misses Nelle Pattie, Alma Grass, Edna and Anna Wallace.

Tuesday, May 17 .- Ottawa Univer- sity's baseball team meets William Jewell on the home diamond.
H
Wednesday, May 11-The Bethany team met defeat by Ottawa here. Score 4 to 3.
Monday, May 9-The Haskell Red- skins, of Lawrence, met defeat here by the big score of 8 to 3.
There were some Swedes, A-a-a-a-a-a-h!
They had a baseball team. A-a-a-a-a-a-h !
They also had some Coach, Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
They all came down
To this old town, To clean up old O. U. Um-m-m-m-m-m.
Our boys got right,
And smote-smote that ball
'Till the score was all our way! Poor Wann he said, "If that's a joke,
I fail to see-the point."
The Campus quartet sang the above ditty in chapel next morning after the Bethany game. The house broke out into a storm of applause, and the quartet responded with another. Kneeling, they lamented the defeat of "Hap" Wann and his Swedes with this mournful wail:
Tread softly here,
The Swedes are dead,
We scalped them yesterday. They smoked so bad, Before they died,
We think they're smoking yet. The quartet "topped off" a jollifica- tion over the defeat of Bethany. Ray Heritage, president of the Student Council, presided and called for speeches from Captain George, Man- ager Frank Price, Chester Crosby and Dr. Harlan. Captain George intro- duced the bullpup mascot of the team
who is known as "Nig," "O. U. Kid," "Tany Jones, Jr.," and other euphoni- ous titles. The speeches stirred up more enshusiasm than has been ram- pant in Ottawa for some time.
This Wann person came down to Ottawa with his terrible Swedes, firm- ly believeing that Ottawa would be easy to defeat. The Swedes had a great pitcher The fact that they did have a good pitcher was their main hope of winning. But Ottawa also has a twirler.
This game was certainly a pitch- er's battle with very poor support on both sides. Although there were only four errors, there were several "bone- head" plays made by the players on both teams.
Ottawa scored one in the first and Bethany scored one in the fourth.
There was nothing further for either team until the seventh, when R. Runbeck got a bingle. Then Bran- non struck out Tilberg, and Hultquist singled, and Brannon walked two men, forcing in two runs.
In the ninth Ottawa came to bat. Crosby bingled, Rice drew a pass, Thorsteberg hooked an error, present- ing McCandless with the initial sack. · Nichols squeezed Crosby over and Brannon came to bat and counted Rice and McCandless. Thus Brannon won his own game.
Wann made a prophecy, "here goes your old ball game," but, alas, it proved a boomerang. The score was:

THE FRESHMEN WHO WON PLACES IN DECLAMATION
MISSES STEPHENSON, LARSON, MOHLMAN, MR. JENKS, MR. ELDER, ALTERNATE, WON
A Final Contest Held Commencement Week Will Determine Two Win- ners-A Strong Contest.
The annual narrowing down of coil- testants for the Freshman declama- tion prize took place last Saturday and Monday evenings.
The Olympian society contestants recited in Olympian hall Saturday evening, while the Philal readers en- tertained in the chapel Monday eve- ning, a more convenient night, draw- ing a larger crowd.
From the speakers of both societies four were chosen to compete in the final contest Commencement week. The four are Leland Jenks, Ruth Lar- son , Kathryn Mohlman and Eva Stephenson; Jesse Elder, alternate.
It must have been a very difficult task to act as judge in this particular contest. A list of declamations of more uniform excellence could hardly have been provided. Out of the whole fifteen speakers no one stood much above the rest. Some who were not placed must be given credit for han- dling very difficult selections in a very commendable manner. The four winners, however, on account of both a happy choice of selections and ex- cellent reading, were entitled to the places they received.
Mr. Jenks' declamation was "The Lance of Kanana," an Arabian story of a spy who apparently turned trai- tor for the purpose of getting a mes- sage to his prince. Its effect was due to the narrative element and the way in which Mr. Jenks handled this, bringing out the climax and the reso- lution of the plot in an effective way.
"Ole Mistus,' given by Ruth Lar- son, was another fine specimen of story reading. It was the narration of a horse-race, upon which fortune, matrimony and the happiness of three lives depended, the reliance be- ing placed upon a gallant mare, with a little darky "up.' The way in which Miss Larson handled the intense parts of the story was an eminent tes- timony to her ability as a reader.
"The Revolt of Mother,' given by Kathryn Mohlman, tells of a man who forced his wife to move into a barn, by building a better barn than he had a house. Miss Mohlman did some fine natural acting, free from strong
emotion, but very effective. Her voice, however, had hardly enough carrying power for the chapel.
Eva Stephenson recited "A Little Matter of Real Estate,' a story of Miss Bailey and the little Gonorowskys. Miss Stephenson's impersonation of the Hebrew children was the best part of the piece and entitled her to a place in the four.
Jesse Elder, with "The Chariot Race," from "Ben Hur," must be given praise for the way he handled a very difficult reading! He missed the first four on a hair-line decision, and his failure must be attributed rather to the difficulty of the piece than to any other cause.
The winner of the final will receive ten dollars; second place brings five dollars, while all fifteen contestants are eligible to contest in the sopho- more and junior contests and finally in the Atkinson rhetorical prize con- test.
The judges in the contest were Rev. E. L. Huckle, financial secretary of Ottawa University; C. A. D. Jaco- bus, '97, county superintendent of pub- lic instruction, and Hon. J. L. Strat- ton of this city.
Miss Medders will have charge of the four winners in preparation for the final contest.
As a part of Saturday
1
night's program, Miss Dorothy Koch gave a piano solo and the Olympian Mandolin club played. J. W. Shields was chairman. Monday evening Miss Florence Cheney gave a piano solo and Miss Norma Lee Peck a violin solo, accompanied by Miss Grace Daniel. John A. Shields presided.
CRUEL PUNISHMENT.
Liberty Girls Compelled to Memorize Taft's Inaugural Address.
Recently the girls at Liberty Ladies' College, Liberty, Mo., held a "barnyard serenade." Promptly at midnight, seventy-five heads protrud- ed from as many windows in the girls' dormitory. and each feminine voice broke the stillness by imitating some barnyard fowl. Various lady members of the faculty at once start- ed up the stairs, slipperless, to catch the authors of the disturbance. But fly-paper had been strewn over the stairs, and soon the professors were floundering like cats in boots.
Later the girls were furnished with copies of President Taft's inaugural address and informed that all privi- leges would be suspended until the address had been memorized.
