Entero! at the post office at Lawrence, Kansas,
as second class matter.
Baker is not so extraordinarily confident of success in football as she used to be. We moderate marks the tone now.
The amount of news in the U. has made it necessary for us to have the paper set in brevier.
THE maternalization of the athletic ground is progressing. This week will open the work on the already purchased grounds and by spring the settled fact will be with us. Great is the Athletic Association. ___
THE University is entering upon a boom, have you not noticed it? Foot ball, Glee club, University Extension, athletic grounds, lecture bureau. In all these the University is surpassing even the expectations of the most sanguine.
THE advantage of crimson as an advertisement for K. S. U. over the corn yellow and sky blue is settled beyond all possibility of a doubt since our trip to Kansas City. The thing to be done now, is call a mass meeting of the students and unless there is a strong protest, adopt crimson as the University color.
THE Kansas University foot ball players and their admirers painted Kansas City red last night. It is hinted that some of them forgot all about prohibition, too, in the mad exuberance of their joy.—Kansas City Times.
Very few of them and they were not even used to the exhilarating influence of a single glass of beer. Prohibition is a success in Lawrence, you know.

THE University Extension movement is intended to reach the masses. It does so indirectly. Education it made more diffuse and so reaches a larger number through the students in the club or circle. The good that Kansas City will receive is not only a good to those who attend the lectures on the extension course but also a good to the whole people of Kansas City. The objection that University Extension will not benefit the masses is not well founded.
LANDMARK PLATFORM
THE absence of "guying" in last Saturday's foot ball game was one of the many best advertisements for the University. This fact is due chiefly to Prof. Hopkins, the efficient manager of the foot ball team, who gave the students the course to pursue that would recold to the credit of K. S. U. Only once was this infringed and that was at the first of the game, when the cry of "Bring on your 240 pounder" was met by the retort from the Missourians of "Watch for him you rain makers." The "guying" spirit soon subsided and the true K. S. U. spirit prevailed during the rest of the game. If the same spirit is shown in K. S. U.'s contest with Washburn and Baker we may all feel justly proud of the students of Kansas State University.
The mayor of Lawrence and his council had a little set to last. Monday night, which resulted in the mayor's discomfiture. An ordinance prohibiting bonfires was presented, and although warmly supported by the mayor, was lost. The mayor in stating to the council that he only allowed the bonfire of Saturday night to prevent a riot, was a little bit
mistaken. The students were told that it would be allowed them to have a bonfire in case of victory, and it caused not a little surprise that the consent was construed to mean a bonfire down at the park. The mayor and the police are evidently working together. The council, the business men and the students will endeavor to keep on good terms. The mayor and the police can go to.
The grave old owl over at M. S. U. are blinking their eyes and shaking their heads over this new department in "scholasticism." They have dug down in the mystic lore of the middle ages and have discovered something similar to this University Extension movement. And now with ominous import comes forth the croaking from these oracles: It will not benefit the masses. They hope it will do so but the finger of probabilities points the other way. The case is one of sour grapes. Take off your coats gentlemen, roll up your sleeves, pitch into the work and see if there is not some chance for success. Progress is the watchword over in the camp this side of the line.

Up at K. S. U. the annual "frat" quarrels have had the floor for several weeks. This year the Phil Psis and the Betas, with perhaps one other fraternity seem to have been "left out," but, of course, next year will be their turn again. The crimination and recrimination; the eagerness to say "you're another" and the widespread ability to prove it; in fact the whole edifying business of buying and selling votes after the manner of the unregenerate ward politician, with all its attendant elements of discord, seems to have become a regular feature of the fall term up on Oread. Of course it's none of our business, as the COURCIER may possibly tell us next Friday. -Baker Index.
And he goes on to mourn that there are no politicians in Baker, and to tear his hair in lamenting that "unregenerate" K. S. U, is out of sight of Baker in many ways.

THE students of K. S. U. are generally regarded by the citizens of Lawrence as a law abiding class and not as a crowd of hoodlums. The students are often quite noisy and quite prone to build bonfires when they celebrate a victory. This ebulition of spirits and noisy sport is looked upon by the citizens of Lawrence with a mild complaisance and a sort of good natured pride in our K. S. U. boys. Lest Saturday evening was an example of the perfectly good understanding existing between the citizens and the students. When the boys were about to build a bonfire at the customary corner and several of the leading business men requested the boys not to do so, stating that they were absolutely without protection from fire, owing to the lack of water supply, the boys took up the stray boxes and filed down to the park and were decorously celebrating their great victory, when some of the half drunken police took it into their muddled brains that the boys were law breakers and purposed to stop all celebrating.
Several of the boys received quite ugly raps over the head from the improvised billies of wagon spokes of these noble and exalted police. Then the cry was a bonfire down in town and the police grew quite wrath and clubs were used a little too freely.
The students are usually well behaved and we believe will remain so. A lesson may be taught the police of the town however if they persist in too free a use of clubs. The majority of the business men make no protest against the use of their boxes for bonfires and so we cannot see what right the police have to interfere. The students have no desire to distinguish themselves in a feud with the city police but they claim the right of civil treatment and will not stand any bullying by the negroes and toughs who seem
We are sure that if the city solons have the right kind of police on the force and do not recruit from the town toughs and drunken negroes there will be very little cause for difference between the police and students.
to think that a free right has been granted them of breaking the skull of everyone who dares hesitate in obeying their absurd commands, because they have been given a tin star and a little authority. If such dirty mean rascals are again put on the force to harass the law abiding students there will surely be trouble.
K. U. and Extension
The University has issued a prospectus of the University extension lecture courses that will begin this year. Nineteen courses are offered in all. At the close of each course of twelve lectures, an examination will be given to those who desire a grade in the University for work done. Each A. B. from the U. of K. or institutions of equal merit, who completes nine courses will receive the degree M. A. Only one lecture per week will be delivered. The following professors offer courses: E. H S. Bailey, The Chemistry of Everyday Life; F. W. Blackmar, Political Economy; E. D. Adams, The German Empire; L I. Blake, Electricity and its Modern Applications; A G. Canfield, The Romantic School in France; A G. Canfield, Development of the Novel in France; C G. Dunlap, English Literature of the nineteenth Century; G M. Hopkins, History and Philosophy of American Literature; W H. Carruth, German Literature—two courses, classical and modern; F O. Marvin, Municipal and Domestic Failure; E Miller, Astronomy; G B. Penny, The Art of Piano Forte Playing; D H. Robinson, Roman Poetry; W C. Stevens, Botany; L E. Sayre, Medical Chemistry and Sanitary Science; Olin Templin, Psychology; A M. Wilcox, Classical Greek Literature; S W. Willston, Physical Geology.
Any one completing nine of these courses will be entitled to credit for one full year's work at the University. The lectures will be delivered to clubs and circles that are sufficiently organized so as to pay the expenses necessary. The good work is progressing and by the wide spread distribution of the wealth of learning in the universities, it will finally percolate to the masses and achieve its primary object; a general elevation of the human race upon a higher plane. The University of Kansas has formulated its plan of work and is going at it with system as it usually goes at everything it attempts.
The School of Engineering is indebted to Mr. John Usher for the loan of several rare photographs of the Cabin John Arch on the Washington Acqueduct. This is the largest stand arch in the world, being of 220 foot span. The pictures are framed and will hang on the walls of the draughting rooms. The school has also received from Mr. H. V. Hinckley, of the Santa Fe, a plat of the station grounds of that road at Lawrence, which will be of service to the railroad boys.
