We take pleasure in presenting to our readers and to the students of the University the enlarged Christmas edition of the Courier. When the Courier comes out again the old year of 1890 will have passed and the new year of 1891 will be with us. The Courier can begin the new year with a good heart, feeling that whatever the short comings of the paper have been, it has never ceased to work for the best interests of the student body and of the University. The editors have tried their best to make the Courier a clean, gentlemanly representative sheet and whether their efforts have been successful or not it is left for the reader to determine for himself. It must be admitted that the Courier falls short of being an ideal weekly journal, but if earnest, faithful effort counts for anything the Courier should continue to improve. It has been and will be the aim of the Courier to encourage and promote true class and University spirit and to decry any small and petty spirit between the different factions. The Courier that all recognizes students are members of the State University of Kansas, and just in proportion to its prosperity, and welfare will be the prosperity and wellfare of the institutions within its walls. The Courier thus inscribes for its motto, "Love and Loyalty for the University." All policies which look toward the advancement of any special interests without regard for the welfare of the institution, it regards as short sighted and fatal. When the time comes that all the students can raise their voices in unison with a loyal cheer of love and admiration for their Alma Mater; at that time Rock-Chalk-Jay-Hawk, K. U. will sound as it never did before, and at that time will the University be truly a great institution and successful in all her undertakings. The Courier wishes you all a "Merry Christmas" and a "Happy New Year."

Degree of Self-Support Among the Students.

Elsewhere some statistics concerning the occupations of the parents of the University students, showing that the farmers, of the state were better represented than any other class of people in the University, were given. The sons of poor men, or men of but moderate means are more numerous than the sons of the wealthy. As further proof of the fact that poor boys are no; the exception and rich ones the rule among students of the University, the following statistics obtained by personal interviews and showing the degree to which the University students are self-supporting, are presented:
In the department of the Sciences, the Literatures and the Arts, out of 313 students questioned, 95, or $30\frac{1}{2}$ per cent are entirely self supporting, (i. e., earn the money which they expend in gaining a college education); 13, or 4 1-6 per cent, are one-half selfupporting; 22, or 7 per cent, are one-quarter selfsupporting; and 193, $38\frac{1}{2}$ per cent, depend entirely on their parents for support. In the school of Law, where the students are mostly older than in the department of Liberal arts, 28 out of 39 are entirely selfsupporting; 2 are one-half selfsupporting, and 9 aae not at all selfsupporting. In the school of Pharmacy, 6 out of 25 are entirely selfsupporting; 5 are one-half selfsupporting; 1 is one-fourth selfsupporting; and 16 are not at all selfsupporting
In the whole University, 34 per cent of the students are entirely self supporting; $ \frac{5}{4} $ per cent are one-half self supporting; 6 per cent are one-fourth self supporting; and $ \frac{54}{4} $ per cent are not at all self supporting. That is to say, of the young men and young women who are receiving that training and education at the University of Kansas which shall fit them to be worthy citizens of a great state, more than one-third are entirely self supporting, and almost one-half are in some measure self supporting.
Among the young men,40 per cent are entirely self supporting and 17 per cent are not entirely,but partially self supporting.
Comment on these figures is unnecessary. The University of Kansas is manifestly an institution offering the poor young man an equal chance with the rich one; and better yet, this chance is not being lost sight of by the earnest young men and women of the state.
