The man who can be interested in another man's hobby is on the highway to success as a diplomat. NEAR-SIGHTEDNESS may be caused by over study, but if there was more studying done by daylight our eyes would not suffer from the change. It is intended by the management to improve the appearance of the Courier by adopting a heavier and better quality of paper as soon as possible. The enterprising lawyers at North college have organized a district and supreme court. It is needless to add that the Juniors run the supreme court. MR. VERNON L. KELLOGG, so well known to to every one connected with the University, has received a most flattering offer from President Jordan of Leland Stanford, Jr., University. Mr. Kellogg, who has been acting as private secretary to Chancellor Snow, left his position a short time ago to pursue a higher course of work in entomology under his old instructor, Prof. Comstock, formerly of Cornell, who is at present occupying the chair of entomology in the great California University. Shortly after his arrival Mr. Kellogg was offered the assistant professorship in the chair of entomology. At present he has the offer under consideration and it is expected will accept. It is needless to say that Chancellor Snow in common with the students and faculty as a whole, sincerely regret the probable severance of Mr. Kellogg's connection with his alma mater. By his untiring efforts he has accomplished as much as any graduate of the University, and his courteous treatment of all has gained for himself many warm friends, who, while regretting his departure from Kansas, unite in rejoicing at the larger and better prospect which the new field of work will open to his well trained energies. The Courier extends congratulations and wishes Mr. Kellogg the best success in his new work. THE student who accomplishes the most original research, or who learns to analyze and classify the subject under investigation in an original manner, gains more in one week than he could in months of routine digging at musty books.
