THERE is a meteor in the State University with queer markings on it, and some of the scientists believe that it may be a message from Jupiter or some other planet of high civilization, and these marks are the writing of some language.—Wichita Eagle.
ONE week from tonight we must all be in Topeka.
SEVERAL of the universities are at work on their annuals. This fact should be a sufficient warning to K. U. ___
TOPEKA with all its stately grace must come down off its dignity next Friday. A college crowd will stop for no one.
LAST Sunday's Kansas City Journal contained a very creditable, two column write up of Prof. Bailey and his department.
Home sweet home, does not always bring joy to the ears of the student who is forced to go home in the middle of the year.
Every institution in the state oratorical association has an orator, but in one week seven of the eight will have fallen from grace.
OUR exchanges seem to appreciate the Courier's "Hodge Podge" or "Heat" column, judging from the amount of clipping it undergoes.
The reform, started in K. U.. must have gathered force by the time it reached De Pauw. Even billiards were included in the re-formed code of our Indiana sister.
If it was in the province of a college paper to indulge in "roasting" we might turn the Courier's irons loose to a good advantage. But we forbear.
THE first issue of the Washburn Argo-Reporter comes to our table. It is a very creditable number being in magazine form and containing sixteen pages.
HARMONY reigned supreme in the election of the officers of the cra torical association. A very broad policy was adopted in the distribution of the spoils.
"Our Jim" Challiss will have a splendid support when he steps forward before about two thousand people and vindicates Shylock to the entire satisfaction of the judges.
ONE member of the Interstate League, the University of Iowa, is already at work on the training of their next years foot ball team. A tackling machine is to be secured for gymnasium work. K. U. must not rest on her laurels but should get an active move on herself
The new staff assumes control of the COURIER with this issue. We ask your support in our effort to make the paper worthy of the grand institution which it represents. As to our policy—well wait and judge for yourself.
THE Wesleyan Advance take the Courier to task for being a boaster and asks us to be more liberal by acknowledging the peers of our institution, in the state. Our Methodist friend mistakes our enthusiasm for boastfulness and as for our peers, we have none within a circle of five hundred miles.
KANSAS COLLEGES.
Kansas colleges may not have the age, nor the blue-blooded social surroundings, nor the so-called prestige, nor the enormous wealth, nor the "tone" of such institutions as Yale and Harvard, but in all other respects they are vastly superior to those eastern educational pretenders.
No Kansas college subordinates education, true, broad and thorough, to footballism. No Kansas college allows its secret society men to run saloons in their club or society rooms. No Kansas college tolerates ruffianism among its students. No Kansas college ruins young men physically and morally by tolerations which no decent community should wink at. No Kansas college turns out a larger per centage of numbskulls than educated graduates.
More young men are demoralized and headed for hell by Yale and Harvard than are turned into proper paths. Genteel loafers "re spectable" duffers, outnumber the graduates at both Yale and Harvard. It is true that these institutions graduate some good men, but they are in the minority, and that minority grows smaller every year.
If the physical welfare and the moral character of sons and daughters are worth considering, Kansas parents will keep their children away from colleges of the Yale and Harvard stamp, and send them either to our State University, to Midland, Washburn, Bethany or Baker. In these Kansas colleges, equipped as they are at present, with able scholars in the faculty of each and all, with wholesome social surroundings, and with the assurance that the chief effort in all these Kansas institutions is to educate the mind to the full measure of its capacity, to develop the qualities of the best manhood and womanhood—to make strong, capable men and women—the children of Kansas parents will run no risk of being mentally dwarfed and distorted and physically and morally wrecked—Atchison Champion.
The above, although very unjust to eastern colleges, is a high compliment to our own institutions.
Ar the "young crowd" republican banquet in Topeka last Friday night, six of the twelve who responded to toasts were former University students. In addition to these thirteen other, old K. U. boys were present. This shows how strong our alumni is growing and what enthusiastic support we will receive whenever we have occasion to use it.
PROFS. BLACKMAR and Dunlap have completed the lectures which were given on the University extension courses in Kansas city. Both are to be congratulated upon the most successful manner in which they conducted their work. They have given complete satisfaction to the Kansas City society and have added to the honors of our institution.
THERE seems to be a rivalry between the Chicago university and the Leland Stanford, Jr. university as to which can get the best talent that money can procure.
THE ladies should be ruled out of the state contest by all means. It is very bad policy to disagree with one of the opposite sex. They always have their own way.
You should not miss the chance of hearing Max O'Rell, the great French humorist, this evening. He is one of the best attractions ever offered the students of the University.
The new Chicago University will open October 1892 and the year will be divided into four terms of twelve weeks each. One week is left between each term and a student may take any quarter he desires for his vacation, or, if more is taken a four year's course will be completed in three.
THE Emporia College Life is of the opinion that the students of K. U. have an oratorical style peculiar to themselves and that they can win fourth place if everything is favorable. Well, if Emporia is represented by her "talent" and we are represented by our "peculiar style"the contest will be exceedingly close.
The state oratorical contest will take place at Topeka on the north of February. Of course the Atchison contest will win; that's the kind of a family he comes of. And it is fitting that the event shall take place on the 12th of February;it is Abraham Lincoln's birthday.-Atchison Patriot.
"That's he."
YESTERDAY'S dispatches announce that Dr. Henry Von Holst, professor of modern history in the University of Freiburg has accepted a call to the Chicago University and will enter upon his duties about easter. He is the author of the best work we have on the American constitution and is an authority upon American history and laws. He will be one of the strongest men in the faculty of the new University.
NEVER before in its period of existence has the University received such an amount of advertising as has been given it during the past six months. The University extension courses, the work of her different professors, her special departments and her foot ball victories have all appeared in print and by this means have brought the scope and magnitude of the work directly before the people, for the first time in the case of a great man. This good work should be kept up as we may want some favors of the next legislature, which can be secured much more easily if the people are brought to realize the importance and the quality of the work done in our institution. They must be made to feel and to realize that the University is theirs and when this is accomplished we will get anything we ask.
