Now for examinations.
We are all glad to begin studying again.
THE Baker Beaker begs the Courier's pardon, which we graciously accept; but please, Mr. Beacon, don't make those mistakes too often, it is very apt to impair friendship.
FRIENDS IN COUNCIL, a society of which the most prominent ladies in Lawrence are members, made the University a very generous loan of their library, consisting of one hundred volumes, for which the students are very thankful. The friends of the University are daily increasing and manifesting their friendship in various ways.
THE COURIER has been somewhat backward in giving a reply to the call sent out by the Washburn Argo, asking the editors of the respective papers, whose colleges will be represented in the Topeka contest, to meet in general council. We are in favor of it. Count on the Courier being there. We hope, also, to accompany a winning orator to that Kansas metropolis.
THEY'RE playing foot ball on ponies east. To effectually avoid accidents the game should be played by proxy. — Chicago Mail.
K. U. does play with substi
tutes. Baldwin Leagr.
Yes, so they decided at the last meeting of the Western Inter-State Foot Ball Association, when they declared the Kansas University foot ball team the champions of the southwest.
At the last meeting of the Western Inter-State University Foot Ball Association some very important business was transacted. One of the principal changes made in the constitution was that of imposing a fine of fifty dollars on the team which fails to play in any scheduled game. This is right. If any队 thinks it above their honor to play any opposing one because of a colored member, why, let said team stand by its convictions and pay their fine. At the meeting the prize rather the amount of forty dollars to buy one, was given to the Kansas team, who were declared the champions of the league for '92.
Kansas, as well as the University, is proud of the Glee Club. The boys have been doing excellent work and giving the best of satisfaction to intellectual and appreciative audiences. The newspapers in the various towns and cities in which the club has been, speak very flatteringly of all. The club well deserves the
GLEE CULB.
THE ANNUAL.
The contract for printing the Annual has been let to Hall & O'Donnel, of Topeka. This makes it certain that the book will be mechanically, at least, everything that is to be desired.
The board is getting the copy together as fast as could be expected under the circumstances. But owing to the great amount and variety of matter which the Annual will contain, and the large number of persons who are engaged in the preparation of it progress is necessarily somewhat slow. Some of the best talent in the University, among both professors and students, will contribute to the literary department, and it is believed that this will be one of the most interesting and creditable departments in the book. Neither pains nor expense is being spared to make of the Annual the most elegant, as well as one of the most useful books ever published about the University of Kansas.
All who have not yet subscribed for the Annual and expect to get a copy, would do well to hand in their names at once to some member of the board. The size of the edition to be issued must be decided by January 10, and after that date the subscription books will be closed. It is not at all likely that those who neglect to subscribe will be able to secure a copy at any price after the book comes out. Probably not more than one half of the students have as yet subscribed. This is not a very creditable showing. An enterprise of this kind, undertaken for the good of the University alone and not for the profit or aggrandisement of any clique or faction, is fairly entitled to expect from every student at least the meager support represented by one subscription. It is hard to see how any student, however poor he may be, can have so little pride in the institution at which he has spent or expects to spend some of the best and most important years of his life, as not to be willing to make some small sacrifice to get possession of a book which will be to him all his life a reminder of his college days, and which, moreover, will put in convenient and permanent form all that in after years he may wish to know, yet find himself
unable to recall about the University as it is now and his old University friends. It is, there fore, the earnest wish and expectation of the class of '93 that the name of every student will be found on the subscription books of the Annual by the evening of January 10.
OUR SUCCESS.
TOPEKA, KAS., Jan.1, 1893.
DEAR COURIER:—At the close of the third week of the second annual tour of the University Glee and Bango Club it gives we much pleasure to state to your readers that the tour, thus far, has been a musical, social and financial success. And every indication points to a continued success during the coming week, which closes the longest tour ever made by any college glee and bango club.
In each of the cities visited the boys have been enthusiastically received and most hospitably entertained. They have been greeted by large audiences in nearly every instance, the largest being at Topeka last Wednesday night, when over 1,200 people listened to the concert and gave frequent evidence of their appreciation by numerous encores and repeatedly yelling, Rock-Chalk, Jay-Hawk, K! U.!" It was a great night for the University.
In no instance has the club received an unfavorable press notice, but each notice has testified to the high character of the entertainment and to the fine looks and uniformly gentlemanly behavior of the boys. The tour is making a host of friends for K. U., as each particle or advertising, from the large crimson posters that fill the bill boards of each city to the handsome half-tone circulars and the very neat programs, all contain, in bold letters, the name and location of our beloved Alma Mater. Besides all this the social features of the tour have been prominent, and in nearly every city the boys have been accorded a reception by the leading people of the city, so that personal acquaintanceship has gained for K. U. a wide circle of staunch supporters.
The University may well feel proud of the club this year, and naught but a slanderous tongue can speak otherwise. The boys have been faithful in their work and gentlemanly in their behavior. They will be welcomed back to each city visited by even larger audiences. And much of the success is due the efforts of Professors Penny, Done and Saunders, and also to Mr. Ed. Young.
The tour closes with Holton, Hiawatha, St. Joseph, Atchison, Leavenworth and the Soldiers Home, the coming week. The
boys will arrive home next Sunday over the Santa Fe.
J. A. RUSU, Business Manager.
A MEETING CALLED.
A special meeting of the Moot Senate has been called by President Adams, to convene next Tuesday evening at the University in room 15. The object is to reorganize and begin work again, if such is desired and decided upon. All old members as well as those who are desirous of doing the work are urged to be present It might be added tor the benefit of those who are unacquainted with the by-laws, that any Senior or Junior in the collegiate department; any special student who is taking work in the optional department; any law student who has taken or is taking work in the collegiate department, is elegible to membership.
THE CONTEST.
Every summer is warmer than the preceding one; every winter is colder, at least so the people say when an unusual warm or cold day is experienced. And now it would seem that the January contest will be even a much stronger one than that of last years.
A prominent professor in oratory informed a friend and this friend innocently told the editor of the Courier that there were, and had been, three young men from the Kansas University taking lessons in oratory for the last eight weeks. No one would ever suspect that these three, of oratorical aspirations would think of entering a contest, and they have been working faithfully on orations for some time.
The contest promises to be a strong one. There will be at least twenty orations, from which the faculty committee will chose six. A list of those who will probably hand in orations is given on another page.
KANSAS JUSTIFIED.
Hallbrook, of Iowa, who refereed the game of foot ball, in the fall of '91, between the Kansas and Iowa teams, and because of whose reckless decision the Kansas boys went off the grounds, now acknowledges that he was wrong. This is quite important for our team, and decides once for all that they are the winners of the disputed game and were justified in leaving the grounds. Though the decision is rather late in the day, yet better late than never. The Courier congratulates the gentleman, Mr. Hallbrook.
By to morrow evening there will be six fortunate young men gloating over their prospects in the coming contest. What will the "non est'” think? Ugh! This will be worse than going up salt creek
