A HAPPY CHRISTMAS.
Now for the January contest.
THE COURIER wishes the students and professors a pleasant vacation.
We anxiously anticipate the pleasures of the holiday vacation. Some of the Freshmen have been counting the days and are now counting the hours until they shall arrive at home.
The article in last week's Student's Journal, which endeavors to place Mr. Cook's, of the Review in an artificial and questionable light, savors of doubt and falls far short of being convincing.
WITH this issue the Courier again changes editor-in-chief. It is the third change made within the last two months and it is hoped the last one, while the present management has control.
The classic commencement is coming into disfavor. At Harvard it is growing more difficult each year to get speakers from the graduating class. John Hopkins, Columbia, and the University of Michigan, have abolished the custom of having the seniors pronounce orations.
PRESUMABLY the next two weeks will be employed by our orators in making Rome howl with their vain endeavors to perfect themselves and prepare for the contest the last of January. That's right. Practice, practice and when you think you are perfection, practice some more.
IN consideration of the fact that the senior class will publish an Annual which will represent all the interests of the University in an interesting and creditable manner, the Courier will not get out a special holiday number. Anything which we would care to publish and illustrate will be an essential feature of the Annual and we do not wish to detract any interest from that publication.
THE large number of sleds on the University hill during the coasting season furnishes entertainment for the students who feel themselves to have outgrown the sport, but at the same time interferes seriously with foot passengers. The sidewalk is made very slippery and the constant passing of the sleds endangers not only the student but the coasters. The small boy should find some other place to coast.
WINTER is again approaching and with it the enjoyments and dangers of climbing a slippery hill, made so by an innocent snow storm and more especially the little boy and his sled.
It is hoped the time is not far off when the proper authorities will take matters in hand and stop this coasting, indulged in by an impudent lot of "kids." The sidewalk is slippery enough without their doubling it a hundred fold by coasting. It should be stopped, before an accident occurs.
Our's is not a feeling of sorrow, but rather a commingling of com miseration and pity. The same feeling that a mustift must experience when he looks down on a poodle.—Review, October '92.
A Falschood Nalled.
The above article is copied by the Baker Beacon, ascribed to the COURIER and made the text of a column article of bosh, the intention of the discourse being to everlastingly and forever salivate the editor of the COURIER. It goes without saying Mr. Beacon that the COURIER would pass it by, but your malicious attack is too apparent and unfounded.
You know very well that the Review was father to that article, yet did not hesitate to falsify in order to give vent to your uncalled for spleen.
Better look at home, sir; take the beam out of your own eye before criticising others.
If we were prone to be critical we might tell you a few faults of yours; we might suggest that it is not the proper idea for any college paper to make a "Police Gazette" issue out of any one of its numbers, whether it be the color of the paper or material; yes, we might also suggest that it is neither a proper idea for a religious (?) institution to allow its weekly paper to devote itself partly to the defamation of its superiors and the balance of its sheet to general sporting news. But we we will refrain from criticizing, and when we do, certainly no article not written by you will be copied to further our project and the Beacon's name placed after, as you have done.
Be honorable sir, be honorable: acknowledge that you—well didn't tell the truth.
The Courier acknowledges that it is not the ideal paper in thought, style and language as the Beacon(?) and certainly it would be presumptious on our part to ever expect to reach those ethereal heights in which you revel. Yet, we do not and will not maliciously and intentionally stoop to even up with our friend the enemy, by the route which you have taken—you know. If the Beacon's editor-in-chief is a gentleman, as he insists the Courier's is not, he will certainly apologize. That's all.
The curriculum of Freshman and Sophomore studies which appears in another column is an innovation that will be appreciated much by all future students who come to the University. It is a great improvement and symbolizes the advancement of our University. Such a change has long been needed.
An Innovation.
In the future any student who comes to the University prepared to take the Latin, Scientific or any other course, according to this new regime will not be compelled to take studies in that particular course, and often useless to him, but will be allowed to select his own. This is just. The faculty are to be congratulated on this wise movement. A careful comparison of the new and old Freshman and Sophomore curriculum will show the latter's superiority.
"Beaten by Baker. Baker wins but not against the regular team." This is the way the University Courier heads one of its foot ball articles. Same old excuse, Courier. For goodness sake, sometime when we play you, get your regular team on the neld. Some people would like to see how your never-appearing regular team looks.— Baker Index.
Some people! Well, well! Wake up Mr. Index. You are living in the past. Don't let the moss grow over you. Have you already forgotten or did you ever get so far behind the times as not to know that "our regular" team defeated the Denver Athletic in a score 20 to 6 and that you were defeated by the same university? Have you also forgotten that "our regular team" defeated that same team, Missouri, whichyou promised to play and then backed out? Have you forgotten that our regular team defeated Illinois and Illinois everlastingly wiped the earth with yours? Some people! For instance, Nebraska, Iowa, Washburn and yourself, last October, when you failed to score against "the regular team." It is well that you did not play a return game against the "regulars" or your artificial victory over the scrub eleven would soon have vanished skyward like a whiff of powder. It was a great joke on our team, indeed. Ha, ha.
THE COURIER dislikes very much to impose upon its readers by penning questionable language, but when any college paper presumes to salivate us by a direct falshood our weak nature fails to keep within bounds. We hope that the occasion will not again be given us.
COURIER: I wish to say that the Glee and Banjo Club are meeting with phenomenal success.
