Respectfully,
COPPER AND BABBETT,
Managers
Who does not feel proud of our University? Who doubts that she stands in the front rank of educational institutions in our country? When professors are tempted, quoted and consulted as ours have been of late all our doubts should vanish. Not long ago Prof. J. H. Canfield was offered the presidency of a state institution with twice the salary he was getting here; Prof. Blackmar is continually quoted as authority on social questions; Prof. Blake is counted among the greatest living scientists. Prof. Dyche has no rival as a taxidermist, and so all through the faculty we have men of recognized ability. Just this week Prof. Carruth received a communication from Prof. A. N. Van Daell, professor of German at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, asking his assistance in getting out a series of French and German text books which are to be published by Ginn & Co. Prof. Bocher, professor of French at Yale, is also going to take part in the work. To be associated with such men as these, and to get out text books for the most careful and conservative publishing house in America is certainly a great honor. Prof. Carruth has now in manuscript a text on Luther's prose and is at work on a German composition text book. Verily, great is K. S. U.
By a law of the state all Kansas students are admitted to the University free of all tuition. What the object of such a law was we do not know. If it was to increase the attendance it has not been ac complished. Nor has the law, in most cases, diminished the expenses of students who are now attending the University. We do not believe in such free education. Students would better appreciate education if they had to pay something for it. Five or ten dollars tuition would not lessen the attendance or make students any poorer. Now we would all like vory much to have a library and gymnasium building. Why not bring back the old custom of paying tuition and apply the fund thus obtained to such a building? It would make students feel that they had a personal interest in the University. In four or five years a twenty-five thousand dollar building could be erected from tuition fees alone and the tax payers of Kansas could not enter a word of complaint.
THE useless fifth wheel to a wagon is also useless by itself.
The following is a dialogue which we overheard between Si Chology and Jim Nasties. We were deeply absorbed in the question of the relation of mind to body and hailed with delight the opportunity of getting some light on the subject. The question the two were discussing was that of modern education, and they were having a friendly quarrel as to which was receiving the greater recognition.
Jim.—I know one thing. I am gaining in popularity every year and create more excitement than you ever dreamed of creating.
Si—Yes, I yield to you in the question of excitement. Acquaintance with me arouses no particular enthusiasm, and yet you can not deny that my friendships are more fruitful and enduring than yours.
Jim. -I suppose you are right, but there are also many who thoroughly despise you.
Si.—That is because they can not appreciate me. I am somewhat mysterious and reserved. I do not unfold all the secrets of my being on first acquaintance and therefore people grow impatient with me.
Jim-That is just what I like about you, Si, and I am truly glad that we formed our friendship when we did. To make life a success men must deal with both of us and our harmony will insure their systematic development.
Si.—I like your vivacity and frankness and so we are perfectly agreed.
Those students who are always ready to break out into an insinuating giggle whenever a certain member of the class is called on to recite might learn a lesson from the story of the calf and the ass. It was the invariable habit of the ass to bray at everything the calf tried to do, as much as to say, he could do it much better. One day the farmer set on the gate post a can of dynamite with which he intended to blow out some stumps. The calf, seeing the can, playfully tried to kick it off, but could not reach it. The ass, of course again brayed at the calf's attempt, and seemed anxious to show how easily he could kick the can. So the calf gambled away and the ass with his ears proudly pricked up, started for the post and firmly kicked the can. Alas, poor ass! Nothing of him but his ears could be found and these the farmer nailed to the barn as a warning to all presumptuous asses. You never can tell when the professor has set a can of dynamite on the gate post.
THE National Educational Association is to hold its next convention at Toronto, Canada, from the 14th to the 17th of July. The people of Toronto are already preparing for the great event and expect to entertain fifteen thousand visitors. There are to be issued soon 100,000 24-page programs, the postage on which alone will be $1,000. Many prominent educationists, some from England and
Africa, are to be present and take part.

We hope the remarkable case of mind parallelism in the COURTER did not render the Reflecter speechless. All the other college papers of the state are greatly interested in the matter and are anxiously waiting for an explanation. We hone the brother will be free to confess so we can sing the Doxology and be dismissed.

A religiously inclined student was found poring over a Bible one day and industriously making notes. After several hours he laid down the book with a sigh of relief. "Well, have you found much consolation?" asked his chum. "Yes, much," he responded. "You know I failed to pass last term. Well look here," and he shoved the paper across the table. It contained the following: Thou shalt not pass.—Numb. xx:18. Suffer not a man to pass.—Judges iii:28. The wicked shall no more pass.—Nahum i:15. Neither doth any son of man pass.—Jeremiah i:44. Beware that thou pass not.—2 Kings vi:9. None shall pass.—Isaiah xxxiv:10.—The Campus.
