DOES IT PAY?
Hon.Kellogg in his address stated that the reason the state continued to support the university is "because it pays." The University is proud of its alumni. We point with pride to the work of the institution in scientific literary and economic fields. The farmer has been taught within the last two years the value of the work of the institution in furthering his interests. Each year an additional levy of taxes is made for which the state expects returns.
But does it pay the state to offer you the advantages of an education? If you apply yourself,yes. Conscious endeavor during four years will make of you an accurate and well read scholar. But if you have come to have a good time, to play foot ball, to turn your gigantic mind towards college politics to create jealousy and excite comment in the giddy whirl of fashionable society by your fine features and ineffable form, you will do well to study precedent and consider the fall and disgrace of your predecessors. Happily there are but few students who belong to this class.
It behooves the new student to stick close to his work and make a good beginning. Good grades are indicative of good work. The man who does his best never "flunks" although students have been known to fail several times before they attained to a consciencious performance of duty.
WITH this issue of the COURIER the new management begins its career. The COURIER has been moulding the sentiment of the students through ten volumes and thirty-nine numbers. In the discussion of college questions which have arisen it has always had the good of the University in view, and it is by the promotion of University interests and the creation of college enthusiasm that it hopes for continued success. So far as personality shall enter into the columns of the COURIER we shall try to make its influence tell for the right. We solicit your generous support. We need your friendship and your suggestions.
The change in hours of afternoon recitations so as to have the hour from 5 to 6 vacant is working havoc in the scientific studies. The change was presumably made in order to have the hour free for athletics and foot ball practice but it threatens to force some students to elect studies which they have no taste for and lose the benefit of training in subjects which are essential to their course. Two hours are required for laboratory work and it is impossible to do the work in the morning because the professors have classes to hear. The classes from 2 to 4 conflict with the classes from 3 to 5. There seems to be no way to remedy the evil except by returning to the old schedule.

POLITICAL CLUB.
Now that the matter of organizing political clubs in the University is being agitated the students are beginning to awaken to a knowledge of their interest in the coming election. The student is not outside of the political world. Indeed history shows that colleges and universities have often been the leading element in political reforms.
Let the students acquaint themselves with the issues of the campaign in all their details. Let the University be represented at the national league meetings of college political clubs. But after all it is not so much representation that we want as it is an acquaintance with the methods by which the work of our club is to be accomplished. Then let us see to it that we are represented by men who on their return from the national meeting will be able to direct our work.
School of Engineering.
Quite a number of advances have been made during the summer by the school of engineering. A blueprint room has been partitioned from the west draughting room and a printing frame arranged so that it can be projected from the window Water and pans are supplied for washing the prints.
The school has been fortunate in receiving by donations two fine photographs valued at about $25 each. One is a view of the Colorado Midland railroad crossing the Rockies at Hagerman's pass. The effect of the photograph is heightened by being hung colored. It was presented by Passenger Agent Lee, Mr. R. M. Ridgeway of '92, presented a view of the D. & R. G. R. R. in its approach to Marshall's pass showing Mount Ouray in the distance. There are about fifteen miles of railway shown in the picture. Mr. Ridgeway is a division superintendent of the road. A large number of smaller photographs showing triumphs of engineering skill have also been hung in the recitation rooms.
A universal testing machine has been received and located near the shops in the building which formerly was used in astronomical observations. The machine is a mammoth one, weighing about two ton and a half. It is adapted for testing all kinds of building material, and has a capacity of 100,000 pounds and reads to the single pound. It is provided with electrical apparatus for determining the moment of contact in measuring the compression, extension, tortion, or flexure of the specimen used. These instruments are calibrated to the ten thousandth part of an inch. The small machine adapted for testing cements and materials in inch cross sections has been removed from the main building and located in the testing room.

Foot Ball Prospect.
The outlook for foot ball at the University is indeed encouraging. With the opening of practice this season we find seven of last season's team in the field ready and anxious to fight for new glories in the foot ball world. Besides these men from the first team we find a number from last season's second eleven and a large number of new men, all willing to work for a position on the "Varsity" team. These new men are not all entirely new at foot ball, as a goodly number have had varied experiences in the different high schools and academies of the state, so that at least a part of the new material comes to us really as old players. Already the practice games have shown that a number of new men will likely fill positions on the first eleven, but if so it will be by continued practice. Let none think that their position is assured for an evenings absence from the field of practice may place them in the rear and the positions be taken by men who are regular and systematic in practice. The one thing which is to be urged is persistent and earnest practice. The new men should familiarize themselves with the rules as soon as possible and then by combining the knowledge they obtained with that gained in field practice they will soon be able to cope with those of longer experience.
It was our expectation to provide a regular coach this season but so far this has not been done. In the meantime our manager, Prof. Hopkins, will be constantly on the field, as will also our Prof. Shepard of Cornell, a man who has had a long experience in foot ball at that institution.
The continued victories of last season may incline some to think we do not need the exertion in the practice games that we would give to a regular match game, but let it be remembered the greater our efforts, the greater the stimulant to the new men.
With hard and systematic practice we may look forward to the season of '93 and hope to cope successfully with the teams against which we are matched. The fact of this being the first year for our new field, should be a stimulant to greater exertion. Let us enter the seasons work with a determination not to fall behind the record of '92 but to make our eleven the "invincibles" of '93.
