A NEW REGENT.
Governor Humphrey has done more than one good turn for the University, but never a better one than when he appointed Chas. F. Scott, Regent. Mr. Scott is pretty well known even among the present set of students, for he moves among them as much as possible, but the Courier recalls for such as have not the pleasure of knowing him these few facts.
Regent Scott is a son of Ex-Regent John W. Scott, and graduated in 1881. After a year or two of "roughing it" in the west, he returned to Iola and bought the "Register," which he has edited since 1883. Though a young man it is no flattery to say that Mr. Scott is regarded as one of the ablest editors in the state—one of the six best. With Mr. Scott's appointment is accomplished the plan, indicated by the Alumni Association and approved by Governor Martin and Governor Humphrey, of making one-half of the Board graduates of the University. They are: W. C. Spangler, C. S. Gleed and C. F. Scott, and it is needless to say that they are the most active and devoted.

The next issue of the Courier will be gotten out under the new management. The present staff takes this opportunity to thank all those who have by their kindly interest and encouragement made the journalistic work more pleasant and less of a thankless task, and would bespeak a continuance of the same for the new staff. It is customary for the retiring staff to give the new staff some salutary and timely advice in reference to the proper management of a college paper. The staff waives the prerogative and leaves the new staff to work out its own salvation as it would be pretty sure to do anyway. The retiring staff has no superfluent knowledge to air, for it is not sure that it knows how to manage a college paper, itself. This fact in itself, makes little difference, perhaps, for the ability it takes to manage a paper is very seldom in proportion to the ability it takes to tell just how a paper should be managed. As to just what the paper will do and be in the future this staff leaves the new one to speak for itself.
The members of the Athletic board who are working up the temporary gymnasium, have asked Chancellor Snow to let the west room in Snow Hall be used for the gymnasium. The request has not yet been granted but it is hoped that satisfactory arrangements will be made. The sentiment in favor of having the gymnasium in the University building instead of in the Armory is growing. The reasons for the change from the original plan, are, that a far greater number could do gymnasium work at the University than at the Armory, for a great many have a vacant hour or some time in the afternoon when they could do the work, wlwithout entailing the loss of
time necessary to go down town and back. On the other hand a large number of students who only have studies in the morning or early in the afternoon, and who live some distance in the city woul find the Armory much more convenient. The Armory would also furnish more room for work. The great objection to the Armory scheme is that the members doing gymnasium work would have no control over the apparatus or of the time when the Armory could be used except by the payment of a rent so large that under the present condition of athletics it would be useless to make the attempt. Unless this were done the Armory would be liable to be rented a week for church fairs, entertainments, political gatherings and the apparatus exposed to those who had no interest in and knew nothing whatever of the use of such apparatus. The rental of the Armory without any contract for the exclusive use of the Armory except by the Usher Guards and B.C. Cadets will be at least twenty dollars a month. When we consider these circumstances and the amount of apparatus that could be bought for the rental money, it would seem best to use a room in the University building if a suitable one can be found. At any rare let all those students who calculate on doing the gymnasium work speak to the committee from the Athletic board and state their preferences, for the wishes of the majority of those intending to do the work will be regarded by the committee. The Athletic board is negotiating for the apparatus of a gymnasium in the central part of the state. The prospects are that a lot of valuable apparatus will be obtained very cheap and the nucleus of a good gymnasium formed.
University Memorabilia Club.
A new University organization is formerly announced. The University Memorabilia club is an organization having for the object of its endeavors the gathering together and arranging in get-at able form of material of all kinds illustrating the history of the University of Kansas. It will seek to stand in that relation to the University which the Kansas State Historical society holds to the state. The collections will be varied and will be considered in the light of an adjunct to the library. Files of the college papers, pamphlets, books, speeches, newspapers and magazines, articles by University students or ex-students, newspapers and other articles referring to the University, all University publications, such as catalogues, reports, bulletins, circulars, programs of University affairs, photographs of professors and students, and any and all things of similar character will be collected. Contributions are earnestly solicited. All material received will be properly cared for, and a record kept of the donation. A card catalogue of the collections will be kept up to date so that all matter in hands of the Club may be readily accessible
for reference: The Club has the cordial endorsement of the University authorities, and it will be given every encouragement by them. The constitution of the Club provides for an annual public meeting at which papers on subjects connected with the growth and development of the University will be read. The founders of the organization are in earnest and will use all diligence in getting the work of the Club well under way. There is no doubt of the need of such an organization in our institution, and it should receive the hearty support of all students and alumni.
The membership of the Club is of three kinds; active, associate and honorary. The number of the active members is limited to thirteen, of which four shall be members of the University faculty. one a student post graduate, two seniors, one junior, one sophomore, one freshman, one from the school of Law, one from the school of Music, one from the school of Pharmacy. The freshman member of one year becomes the sophomore of next year, the sophomore the junior and the junior the senior. Thus in the college of Liberal Arts a senior and a freshman will be elected each year. The members in the other schools shall be in active membership as long as regularly enrolled in their respective schools. It is intended that the election to active membership shall be carefully considered. They will undoubtedly be looked on as among our leading college honors. The present active members, who are charter members, are: Prof. E. H. S. Bailey, Prof. W. H. Carruth, Mr. M. W. Sterling, president, Mr. V. L. Kellogg, secretary, Miss Nannie Pugh, executive committee member, Mr. E. E. Slosson, Mr. Malcolm McKinnon, Mr. Chas. Johnson, Mr. R. D. O'Leary, Miss Kate Riggs, Mrs. Brown, Mr. A. H. Amos, Miss Daisy Orton. The associate members will be elected by the active members on recommendation of the executive committee and shall include all persons manifesting an interest in the Club by contributions or in some other marked manner. All contributions or inquiries should be addressed to the secretary of the Club.

Open Meeting of the Seminary
Hon. Judge R. Peck, of Topeka, will give a lecture in the chapel next Tuesday evening on "Puritanism in Old England, and in New." This lecture is one of a series now being delivered before the Seminary
of Historical and Political Science and will be well worth hearing. Those who have never heard Mr. Peck speak can have no idea of the charm of what he says as well as the charm in his manner of speaking. Let every student hear him.
District Attorney R.E.Twitchell.
On Friday Governor Prince sent to the council the name of R. E. Twitchell to be attorney for the district composed of the counties of Santa Fe, Rio Arriba and Taos, and on Saturday last the nomination was unanimously confirmed by the council.
There were two applicants for the position, namely Mr. Twitchell and Mr. Ben. M. Read, both were strongly recommended; but for obvious reasons as already stated in this journal and because the public interests in important and grave matters now pending before the district court, especially the horrible Faustin Ortiz murder cases, in which it was absolutely necessary to have Mr. Twitchell's services as district attorney, the governor's choice fell upon him. That the choice was a very satisfactory one to the people and the representatives of the people is fully and clearly shown by his unanimous and speedy confirmation.
Mr. Twitchell has already made a very enviable record in the position of district attorney during the past two years, and will do still better in the future; for with more experience as a public prosecutor he is bound to do still better. He is a young lawyer of remarkable promise and fine abilities; he has acquitted himself very creditably and successfully in his official capacity heretofore. The New Mexican believes that he will do so in the future and will espically make an excellent record as a prosecuting attorney and a public official.—Santa Fe Daily New Mexican.
In the above we are pleased to chronicle the success of another University student, go where you will, you will find men from the Kansas State University filling positions of honor and responsibility.
