mighty dollar" and the tendency to measure everything by a financial standard, has placed a so-called college at every cross road; and no town of any importance whatever is without its University. Now as long as this spirit is encouraged, and students are left free to choose, a great majority will continue to take German and French, because those languages are practical and modern. A knowledge of German will probably enable a young man to obtain a better position in a mercantile house, that has a large German patronage; a reading knowledge of French will permit the girl graduate to absorb the latest Parisian novel in the original; but a degree from a college whose curriculum permits such travesties upon the name of education cannot possibly stand very high in the world of letters.
The study of the sciences is surely desirable, both as a means and an end; but any other than a classical student finds it almost impossible to master even the the terminology in Zoology, Botany and Geology. An acquaintance with the Greek and Latin terms in these branches would enable the student to employ his energy in studying facts and phenomena instead of wasting his time in committing meaningless names. But ignorance on the part of the student, and the lack of any regulation to govern the matter, often result in neglect of the proper preparation for scientific study.
Again, many students enter the University who from ignorance or delusion choose the Modern Literature course. At the end of two years these same students may desire to study Roman Law,History of Philosophy, or even to pursue higher work in English. Now comes the difficulty, despite the advocacy of many well meaning people,a knowledge of German and French will not enable a student to read the Philosophy of Plato,or the Laws of Justinian. Not even the best translations are free from words,extracts and even long passages in the original.
Goethe makes his Mephistophele
so stain the third argument proposed when in the dress of Dr. Faust, the devil advises the enquiring student above all things not to let himself be "scattered." And at the present day, even more than in Goethe's time, "the day has gone over when a man may in all things be all." An elective curriculum in an academic school allows an amount of "scattering," that can scarcely be defended on any score. In the Kansas State University the student has six courses to select from at the beginning, with some choice of studies even during the first two years; and while in the Junior and Senior years there are almost no restrictions. A student who does not like languages, manages to evade the study of nearly all that are prescribed in the course he has chosen; and if it is Mathematics that is distasteful to him, he chooses Zoology; not because he wishes to study natural history, but because it promises to be easier than Analytical Geometry. And all this happens in the Freshman and Sophomore years.
The benefits arising from and the better qualifications for the faculties prescribing a course of study is the last point proposed. The Faculty of the Kansas State University, as of most other schools, is chosen on account of the known ability and fitness of the members for the various places they fill. Many of them are men of long experience in teaching, and all are men chosen on account of their merits, from the best schools of the country. Such a body of men is unquestionably better qualified to choose a course for each and every student entering the University than the student is qualified to choose for himself.
We like to compare our University with the great schools of Germany, and to point to the scholars of Berlin and Leipzig as evidences of the beneficial results of a free choice in a course of study; but in this comparison one important fact is usually overlooked. Our University is not on the same level as the German Universities, but it corresponds rather to the German gymnasium. In the German gymnasium the courses are prescribed and rigidly adhered to, so that the student who enters the University of Berlin, or any other great German University, is equal to our post graduate, and is ready to do original and independent work. The German school system furnishes the best thinker of our times, but this system is composed largely of a course prescribed and enforced by the state up to and through the gymnasium. Thus both in theory and in the light of experience it seems that an elective curriculum is not the best for an academic school, and is with academic work that the Kansas State University is at present most concerned.

Friday, March 6th, was the time for election of officers and created quite an excitement. The election was very close, seemingly a contest between Juniors and Seniors. At the end of the seventh ballot Mr. T.A. Finical, of the Senior class, was declared elected. After the president was declared elected the partisan feeling seemed to have died out as the following officers were then elected without much opposition: Vice president, Mr. Ned Riley; secretary, C. D. Bower; treasurer, F. G. Jewitt; sergeant at arms, D. H. Wilson; ex-committee, Sullivan and Casner.
