The Seattle Republican., 1900-02-23
STATE UNIVERSITY
Viii Issue lis First Annual in
the Near Future.

Following the custom Of the
leading colleges and universities Of
the United States, the University
IS, this year, to have an Annual.
1t Is to consist Of two hundred
pages, tastefully bound in Univer-
sity colors and nicely illustrated.
The engravings will include the
members of the faculty arranged
In four groups Of beautiful half
tones. President Graves will oc-
cupy the place Of honor in the
front. The balance Of the illus
trations will include the several
classes, leading students organiza-
tlOns and winning teams. The
most prominent Of these will be
the Stevens Debating club, the
Glee club, Mandolin club, Tennis
club and the Football team. Be-
sides these there will be number
of pen and ink drawings by the
leading student artists.
The herculean task Of editing
and publishing this work has, as
is the prevailing custom, devolved
upon the Junior class. Fortu-
nately, however, the class of 1901
contains some Of the most brilliant
and most energetic young men and
young women in the institution,
and each and every member Of it
is now at work upon this publica-
tion with all their might. Miss
Zoe Kincaid, with an excellent
staff of assistants, is doing the lit
erary work and Mr.. Chas. McCann
and Mr.. c. A. Ruddy are the bust
ness managers. 1t is to be hoped
that everything will be in readi-
ness to have the production go to
press about the middle Of March
and that nothing in the meantime
will interfere with its success.
The Stevens Debating club, last
week, to break the monotony Of
debate, rendered a fine special
program, which was as follows:
Aubry Levy, piano solo; grafton,
entitled utopia, U. S. Griggs;
recitation, entitled "Spartacus", Ell.
L. Reese; song, Stevens quartet;
a pro-Boer grafton, Chas. Mccain;
a lecture, entitled 'The Selection
of a Partner" Ell. M. Korstad.
At the close all the club joined in
singing America" The pro-
gram, throughout, was most highly
appreciated and enthusiastically
applauded.
DIR. Moench, the professor Of
ancient language, is this week ad-
dressing the Student assembly in
a series of Latin lectures. They
are proving a drawing card, par
ticularly to the students Of the
classical department of the uni
versity. DR.. Moench is beyond
Question the most profound lin
guist that has ever occupied the
chair Of ancient languages at the
State University. He is, at pres
Ient, teaching advance work in
Latin, Greek end Hebrew and
speaks the leading modern Ian
guages very fuently. Since his
election, about two years ago, to
the chair which he now occupies,
DIR. Moench has created an inter-
est in the study Of classical Ian
guages among the students, which
had not existed before his time at
the University.
Some of the men Of the football
team still feel sore over the cleo
ton Of Mr. Corson to the captaincy.
1t seems impossible for them to
Iacquiesce in the decision of the
majority. If the present arrange
ment of electing a captain by the
Athletic association does not find
favor with the team they ought to
try and induce the association to
amend the constitution and not
make any disparaging remarks
upon the character or ability of
Mr.. Corson.
