ONE of the most potent arguments against any certain branch of study is that the first chapter is always taken up in an apology for its life.
It may be a good thing to sit down and meditate and become acquainted with yourself but the man who gets up and hustles is the fellow that is going to wear diamonds.
THE masterly article in last week's issue on the necessity of an Elective Curriculum was from the pen of H. E. Copper. Through some oversight his name was omitted from the article.
We may at times become out of patience with a kicker but his services are invaluable in many ways. If it were not for him picking flaws and finding fault, such a state of affairs would exist, that the whole world would be kicking.
We are in receipt of the report on the Board of Regents of Manhattan College. The report, which is a very good one, shows material advancements in all their departments. It is surprising to note, in each professor's report, the amount of editorial work he has done on the Industrialist. Such a state of affairs would be a haven of rest for any one who has run a paper like the COURIER. Here instead of having a board of editors composed of the Faculty, and thus divide up the labor, all the work, which is generally from ten to fifteen columns, is done by the editor-in-chief and his right hand man the local-editor. Nevertheless, we would not have a change of circumstances even if we could. A paper that is owned by the college where it is issued, must necessarily be run on a very narrow basis, as the position a professor hold does not allow him to criticise or suggest with the freedom of a student.
WHEN the angel Gabriel says "Please remit," you cannot tell him to come around next week.
THE Industrial College at Manhattan has our sympathy. Its petition to the legislature for $600 to build hog pena was granted but its library bill was lost. Natural history seems to be in more favor that school than the study of books.
THE Kansas int r state oratorical contest is over, and now the college journalists of that state are wofully hard up for editorial matter.—Northwestern World.
Statements such as the above may be seen in most any muzzle loading newspaper, upon most any subject. Some writers in college papers, when they have nothing else to write about, will make wild and groundless statements about some other paper that they do not even take the trouble to pick up from the exchange table. When the above paragraph was written, the contest had just been finished, and the college publications were filled with contest news; the farseeing author thereof, concluded at once that our papers had been running for the last year, only to
THE Athletic Association expects to net a goodly sum from the entertainment to be given for its benefit in the near future, Midsummer Night's Dream. Owing to the number of people necessary to properly perform the piece, it is seldom put upon the boards, and for that reason it is assured a good reception.
The University lecture course as mapped out last fall was a very good one. The assurance that such men as Kennan, Riley and George would lecture was all that was need ed to insure the sale of a large number of course tickets. Now it is proposed to substitute such men Eli Perkins in their places. This is radically wrong and unjust. People who have procured tickets expecting to hear men of note, lecture, will not be put off with any such arrangement as this. Lectures are under the control of a lecture bureau, which puts up a bonus, when a contract is made, to insure their appearance. This bonus is forfeited if the lecture is not delivered as per contract. The gentlemen running the course are not embarrassed financially, as their contracts which were filed before they had any authority to publish a lecturer as going to speake here, precludes the possibility of such a state of affairs. We have heard many a howl about the proposed change, and for our part we cannot but see that there is a right to howl. We do not infer that this trickery was premidated at all, as our acquaintance with the gentlemen running the course leads us to believe otherwise, but that there will be a breach of faith some where, if things are carried out as proposed, is quite patent to all. It is in order for some one to rise and explain. If there are extenuating circumstances, let us have them.
chronicle the fact that J. I. Games had won the oratorical contest. The World was never more divergent from its base than when it made the above statement. Kansas college editors are a live, active progressive set as is shown by the editorial page of the Emporia College Life, Washburn Reporter, Baker Beacon, and University Courier. Any one of these papers will favorably compare with any of the eastern college publication of the same nature. If you want literature of a high order we would refer you to the Washburn Argo, Baker Index, University Review or Midland Monthly. We are afraid, dear World, that you have been consigning us to the waste baket and for that reason made the above statement through ignorance. All we ask is a show for our white alley. When we come to you don't tear our wrapper off and rush through our exchange column, to see if we have clipped anything from you, but read our editorals and see if we cannot write upon something besides contests, and whether or not we are woefully hard up for editorial matter. If you are looking for the old standby editorial that runs about like this. "Students of K. S. U., Let us impress upon you the fact that these are golden moments and should be improved. We are all back after our holiday, refreshed and ready for work. Let us do good work and win the love and approbation of our teachers who have our varied iterests at heart etc., etc." you had better look in some of your more cultured eastern exchanges, you won't find it in the University Courier. We are running a newspaper and propose to keep it as such. For us to exhort the student body, with a column article, that some people would call good editorial, to do something that we never did ourselves, seems inconsistent to say the least. Our ideas may be rough, crude and revolutionary and our mode of expression not quite suit a professor of English but there is one fault which we hope may never lie at our door and that is, of running an old-fashioned "sing songey" lifeless editorial page, the general tone of which, would indicate that the editor felt so far above his readers that he was able to criticise their daily actions and tell them to do something that they intended to
A RELIC.
One day while looking over a lot of old books we came across one of a modern date and altogether a very interesting looking book. Thinking we had found a treasure we took the volume up and began to read it. After reading the first two pages we thought we had enough and came to the conclusion that we had struck a snag. The object of the book seems to be to solve the much debated question as to the identity of the Divine Creator. It is without doubt the strangest composition we have ever had the pleasure to glance over. Four hundred and
forty pages are covered with the dryest, most abstract, unconnected string of words that mortal man ever put together. "Psychology, A Tale of Love" by Dewey is a first reader compared to it. At the end is appended a hundred pages of "Psalms and Proverbs" from which we clip the following. We want to give the author full credit:
"A rooster crows upon a post. A man is making a speech upon a bench; verily the difference in voice is the greatest difference."
"A corn is upon a farmer's shelf but on a sluggard's brow there is dirt and want. The day is only a night to him."
"A girl whirls in a dance and is fond of the act. She is copying the dog that chases his tail. A young man whirls in a dance. He is chasing a pretty girl."
"A cat climbs a post but a dog cannot climb. A bird sails through the air,but a quadruped is walking upon the ground."
"A shark bites a person in two but a crocodile swallows a child whole. A lion watches from a rock,but a panther watches from a branch."
"A scorpion is given a sting, it was a cabbage root."
"A fly is but a contracted gas, but a fish is made of cells."
"A bee is cross, it was made from a gooseberry blossom."
"A wasp is cross, it was made from the blossem of a sour berry."
Of course we cannot expect anyone to see all sides of a question. We know the full ability of human nature, and take it into account. All that we ask is, that people occasionally withdraw themselves from their daily occupation and thought and try to see themselves as others see them.
GET OUT OF THE RUT.
Some persons would be surprised at the revelation of their faults. The student entirely wrapped up in his own plans and ambitions, would know why others avoid him and passed him by as one with whom it was no pleasure to associate. He would have a feeling of remorse, not only for having borne himself so sullenly toward himself by allowing the social side of his nature to become dwarfed.
The individual wholly devoted to society would, we fear, fare no better. Standing at a distance, and viewing his own self in perspective, he would see clearly that he had made that an end which was only suitable to a means. It would dawn upon him, for the first time, that he deserved the epithet of fool, which had been so often placed upon him. Finally he would know why people had always laughed at him and called him a good-for-nothing fellow.
But these characters, the student only, and the society man only, are but two among many, who would be greatly benefited by getting away from their own narrow spheres, and viewing their thoughts
