Published every Friday morning by The Courier Company. Do your duty by going to Topeka tonight. Enthusiasm which only a big crowd can create will be of great assistance to our orator. CHALLISS, Shylock and Justice, and K. S. U.will all win tonight. This day belongs to K. S. U. THE Review made its appearance Friday and was up to its usual standard of literary merit. THE College Life says that undoubtedly K. S. U. has the best yell of any college in the land. If the judges in tonight's contest were Jews Emporia and K. U. would be sure of winning the first two places. "Rip!'rah! roli-ka zan! Whoop'er up for the coming man," is the yell that has been suggested for the State Normal. ___ About two thousand students in a quiet and dignified city like Topeka will cause a commotion that will almost wake up the state dads. McCook FIELD should be put in condition just as soon as the weather will permit. The proper officers should act on this matter immediately. THE lady representative of the State Normal college takes for the subject of her oration, "The Coming Man." Of course she refers to Challiss. THE organization of the Wichita University Extension society is now assured. Add Wichita to the list which now includes Kansas City, Topeka, Abilene and Olathe. THE COURRIER's exchanges will be found on file in the reading room. Students who spend a few minutes among them each week will soon have a knowledge of the doings in the college world. Both Kansas and Iowa are determined to win the Western InterState pennant next fall. At the latter place there are already forty applicants for positions on the team.—The Lasso. "This space should have been filled by our Local Editor" is the amusing announcement that graced several columns of the College Life in its last issue. Presumably the Local Editor was "pied." THE February Earlhamite contains an article by William Hill on a "Shorter College Course." This subject is undergoing much discussion in the east and it already has among its supporters many of the leading educators of the country. YALE'S foot ball eleven each receive souvenir watch charms (foot ball shape), and a picture of the eleven in action, on which is recorded the 'glorious story of victory in the simple words: "Yale, 490 points; opponents. 0!"—Ex. THE Kansas papers are always filled with notices of lectures which this or that University professor will give at this or that Kansas town. The professors receive no extra pay for this extra work, but The narrow minded policy of the Cornell faculty in vetoing the invitation to deliver the annual address which had been extended to Robert Ingersoll should be severely condemned. Their action reminds one of the advice of the father "My son, you must not even look at cards." throw it in to advertise the University. The state of Kansas has no one that work for it more hours a day than these professors do.—K. C. Journal. CASPAR W. WHITNEY, in Harper's Weekly, mentions the formation of the Inter state association and makes the prediction that the west will soon be able to compete with the east on the "field de kick." "The Coming Man," "Shylock," during "The Dominant Epochs in Progress," "After the Shackles Have Been Removed," relying upon "The Majesty of the Law" to quell "Agination as a Means of Reform" will show "The Jews" "What Science has Done for Humanity"in Topeka tonight. THE February number of Seminary Notes came out last Friday. Besides the usual seminary reports, it contained an interesting and carefully written article by Prof. F. W. Blackmar on Indian Education and a sketch of the department of History in Harvard by Mr. Wm. Hill, a former K. U. boy. The editorial pages were unusually bright and interesting. This publication is receiving many handsome compliments from those who are interested in History and Sociology. We are in receipt of the "Congress Edition" of the Sequoria. It gives a complete history of the University Congress of Leland Stanford jr. The congress is organized as "a hypothetical House of Representatives in which the members are apportioned to the several states upon the basis of representation in the national body, and the work is intended to conform as nearly as practicable to that of the original." A speaker, clerk and sergeant-at-arms are elected and such committees are appointed as are necessary to act upon bills presented, which are to embody ideas of national interest. It was the unanimous opinion of the Stanford students that more good would be derived from a congress than from a regulation literary society. The form adopted will also render them conversant A few years ago class lines in the University were closely drawn. A student never thought of taking any work save with his own class. The increase in the number of organizations and studies, and the diversity of elective courses are slowly killing class spirit. No matter what the impulses may be now, it will never reach its old position. In time to come classes will be done away with entirely. But nothing will be lost. What is lost in one place will be gained in another.—S. U. I. Quill. We have clipped the above because it voices our sentiments exactly. Very few people seem to realize the restrictions that are placed upon a college paper. Very often "that tired feeling" comes over the editorial writer when he sees what a limited field there is before him. We are often puzzled to decide which subjects would be suitable for editorials in a college paper. It is a more difficult task than the inexperienced can imagine. Each week the space is to be filled with live matter. There are many questions discussed by our daily papers that cannot be touched upon in a college paper, as the telegraphic reports are always read by the students before their college weekly appears. It is also true they expect editorials on subjects that are being agitated by the college world, and it is seldom a single question is agitated by all colleges. A college paper cannot be run on the daily paper plan; hence it cannot assume a national character but must be filled with matter of a local character. The readers of college papers should consider these things and be satisfied or furnish an article occasionally, which exemplifies their literary taste.—College Life. FIVE colleges and universities now publish daily papers, viz. Yale, Harvard, Michigan, Cornell and Brown. The Princetonian comes out three times a week, and the Pennsylvanian, of the University of Pennsylvania, twice a week. SEVERAL of the college papers of the state are in favor of changing back to the old rule of holding the state contests in the different college towns in regular rotation instead of making Topeka the permanent meeting ground. We are in favor of Topeka for several reasons. It is the most central point being accessable to all the colleges, it offers the best facilities for the accommodation of the crowd, and there is less confusion and trouble in arranging for the contest, if always held in the same place. We will favor Topeka first, last, and all the time. with the leading social and economic problems of government and with their practical treatment. We would most earnestly support any steps that might be taken towards the organization of such a congress, or if preferred, a moot senate, in our University. Our columns are open to those who have ideas on this subject and we would be pleased to hear from them. We will venture a guess. Emporia, Baker and K. U. will win the first three places, but as to their rank, there's the question. OUR reputation must be maintained. We must outnumber the other colleges two to one. Nearly sixty per cent of the highest offices in the country are held by college graduates. Valentines at Smith's. Removal Sale!
