A VOICE FROM THE DEAD. The Industrialist,a sheet published by the faculty and students of the state agricultural college, is out with an article written by one of their "third year" men. The brainy production is entitled, "Western Ideas for Western Schools." After a lot of unreadable trash against college "patriotism" because it exists in eastern schools (that is the reason given), he launches forth in this strain. "When college authorities encourage the growth of college patriotism (so called), class spirit, fraternities and the taste for the misnamed "athletics," they are not working in harmony with the philanthropic spirit which prompted the founding of such an institution. When a college professor goes fifty miles to attend an inter collegiate foot ball contest, wears a red cap, and gives vent to his feelings by giving the "college yell." he is not only prostituting the dignity of his office, but is is also doing positive injury to a cause which he should foster and protect, etc., etc."
In the first place we are surprised that the editors of the paper, a part of whom as has been said, being professors in the the college, should sanction such an article, which they certainly do, when they permit its publication. But this spirit is in perfect keeping with their recent actions in several little affairs which we can recall. The entire article is a cowardly, back-handed slam at our grand old K. U.
"Tis a false creation proceeding from the heat oppressed brain," or, rather, brain worn out by petty jealousies, nothing more. It is a parting wail." A stab in the dark at the institution which numbers among its faculty one who has saved the farmers of the state of Kansas a million dollars while the agricultural college quietly slumbered away with the dead. Its long pent up hatred has at last found a chance to vent its spleen in this pusilanimous attack. The "get even" spirit is uppermost in its mind. The spoiled and disappointed child must have its cry. But be good, study hard, and you can hope for—well, something. You will get it no doubt, if you keep up your present gait. Peace to your ashes; farewell.
THE University of Nebraska is blessed with two papers. The Lasso is published by the fraternities and the Hesperian is published by the anti-fraternity men with "anything to beat the frats" as their motto.
The young crowd might properly be called the University extension. Of the 105 at the feed twelve delivered speeches and six of the speakers were graduates of the State University.—K. C. Star.
If the ladies can't win they will doubtless thrown their support to the handsomest man in the contest. Well we have a candidate and he is just as susceptible as the rest.
The jealousy of the Industrialist is very apparent. Perhaps a chinch bug is causing the trouble.
Blake's Electricity.
The first lecture is in the course on "Electricity and its Modern Applications," which is the third course of lectures undertaken by the Kansas City Society of University extension, was given last evening.
A great deal of satisfaction is felt over the fact that Prof. Lucien I. Blake, the distinguished electrician of our University, delivers this course of twelve weekly lectures, and the Kansas City society feels that it is most acceptably providing for the strong popular demand for knowing and information on the subject of electricity.
For the past two weeks W. W. Smith of the telephone company, Manager McMillen of the American Electric Light company, and Manager Woods of the Western Union Telegraph company have been in conference with the executive committee and have been enthusiastic in their efforts to make the course a remarkable success. All of them have taken the application cards of the society, and Mr. Smith secured many members for the class and the society.
The subject of electricity is one of such rapid development and the applications of its uses are so numerous and astonishing that Prof. Blake very wisely refrains from an nouncing the course in detail at the start. He states that it is not only possible, but probable that some great discovery in relation to its laws, theoretical or applied, will be made before his course of lectures is finished, and therefore the society adopted the plan of furnishing a printed outline of each lecture one week in advance of the night.
Prof. Blake treated the subject from a scientific standpoint, but explained and illustrated his lectures with the most modern appliances and inventions. The University of Kansas is noted for the completeness of its physical laboratory, and its supply of electrical apparatus it is surpassed by no institution in the west. The faculty, with a generosity which the people of Kansas City will fully appreciate, consented that Prof. Blake should express such portions of the machinery and models to Kansas City from week to week, as the lectures require; and with such opportunities, the society believes that the general thirst for knowledge of electricity will be at least partially assuaged.
No course of lectures undertaken by the society has aroused such interest as this on electricity. From the list of members, drawn from all walks of life, it is very evident that there is a strong popular desire to have full and exact knowledge of the revolutionsizing power of the century. Prof. Blake, too, has a most enviable reputation as a pleasing lecturer and instructor and his ability as an electrician is a subject of the highest praise on the part of the practical electricians of this city.
