LET us have a University ball for the benefit of the Athletics. The one last year netted a good sum and was a very pleasant affair. Such an occasion brings all the different social elements of the University together and promotes good feeling and shows all that there are a good many pretty nice students in the University. On with the dance.
PROF. PENNY's plan for procuring a grand pipe organ for the chapel is a worthy one. It should not be forgotten however,that there are other things being worked for in K. S. U. which are of more importance,and demand more immediate attention. There is no telling how long Col. McCook's magnificent offer to duplicate dollar for dollar all money raised for the Athletic interests will remain good. While we have it,every means should be taken to swell this fund. If money can be raised for both the organ and Athlets,so much the better,but the Athletics' interests should not be sacrificed.
It is the aim of the Courier to report thoroughly the news of each week. We wish to be a representative paper in every respect. If you know of any interesting facts about students, visitors, alumni etc., write them out and hand them to us. If you see something in the management or misuunagement of University affairs, write out your views and send them to us, or point out to any of the editors the matter which you think requires attention and they will see that it is looked into. We wish to publish reports of the doings of all the societies and clubs. In short, as there is but one weekly, we wish to represent as fairly as possible the whole student body and the institution to which we owe our allegiance.
The action of Chancellor Snow and the committee of the regents in ordering the rebuilding of the foundation recently put in under the main building, will be commended by every one, with the possible exception of the contractor, a gentleman from Topeka. The expense of taking the foundation out and putting the new one in will be over six thousand dollars. It will be a good though hard lesson to contractors who think they can make something off of state institutions by slighting their work. To show the gross carelessness, the foundation was in many places put down to a thin layer of rock only about four to six inches above solid rock. A very poor quality of rock was also used, and the walls, in many places, were "deaconed" as they call it in the east, that is some good stone put on the out side and a lot of poor truck put on the inside. It is also said that a prominent architect of this city looked over the foundation and testified that it was a thorough and good job.
OWING to the fact that the law, music and art departments have been removed to North College, and that the classes in the main building recite all the way from 9 to 6 o'clock, a large number of students cannot secure the Courier in person at the end of the fourth hour on Fridays. If those wishing to take the Courier will see or drop a line to one of the business managers and have their names put on the list of subscribers, the Courier will be sent to them each week. Every student should take the Courier and keep posted about University affairs.
It should be a matter of regret to all that any unpleasantness should have occurred in the last K. S. U. Haskell Institute ball game. The facts of the case are these. There was no intentional unfairness in the game but the first umpire made some very bad decisions, which were, however, about equally divided between both teams. The Indians became dissatisfied and Arthur Canfield went in to umpire. He made a decisions letting a K. S. U. player to first base on four balls when the Indians maintained that it ought to have been three strikes. Now every one knows that Canfield is a competent and perfectly fair umpire and that about that point there was no cause for complaint. But the Indians owing to the previous decision had gotten the idea that they were being treated unfairly and so withdrew. It is unfortunate that it happened for we should have none but the most pleasant relations with Haskell.
How is this for class spirit? The Sophomores at the University of the Pacific, adopted canes. In a short time they found that they held but a minority of the canes, the Freshmen holding the rest. The Sophomores left a cane in the library as bait, and stationed men to guard it. A Junior flung it out of the window, where it was captured by the Freshmen. That night the Junior found himself stuck unceremoniously head first in a water trough. The next night the Freshmen and Juniors took two Sophomores out of bed and gave them a cold bath. Some more unpleasantness was indulged in. The faculty now took a hand and decided that a cash restitution be made for all property destroyed. The Freshmen refused to settle, saying that they had destroyed no property, that the canes did not come under the resolutions of the faculty. The faculty then suspended the Freshman class for thirty days. The other classes got mad at this and decided to leave the institution if the Freshmen were not reinstated. The faculty, to use an expression of Mr. Jerry Cruncher's quickly "flopped" and all is now serene and peaceful. It might be a good thing for class spirit in K. S. U., if the Sophomores were to come out in mortar board hats, whatever the effebt might be on the hats. The Sophs. of the University of Pacific wear both hats and canes, that is when they have them convenient.
One of most the important features of modern University learning is the rapid increasing use of the "Library system of education." The advantages of this method are many and we will simply cite two or three of them in passing.
READING.
First, time spent in the library and in constant research, familiarizes one with books and authors, which is in itself an education that we cannot afford to lose. It is surprising how this method of study facilitates learning and especially where the student is following a special line of work. By constantly handling different volumes we may not learn that such and such a passage occurs in such and such a book, still, we may know about how an author would treat a given subject and in about what way, and thus we classify, unintentially perhaps, but none the less true, the wisdom of scholars.
In the second place, work of this kind always broadens the mind and intellect of the one who follows it. The old way of working was for students to take one text book and study it to the exclusion of any other authority upon the same subject. That time is passed to a great extent and now by consulting many standard writers the student is able to deduct his own conclusions which are all the more valuable for being his own.
This mode of individual research has been characterized by one of our professors as the suggestive method of instruction, meaning that the instructor suggests topics for work and quotes authorities which the student may consult at his pleasure.
Perhaps something should be said of those students who cannot, because of being occupied by such studies as drawing, languages, mathematics, etc., take time for systematic reading. Of course there are many of this class and to these we would call particular attention to the general reading room. Every student in the University should find time to spend at least a half an hour a day here among the very best magazines and newspapers in the country. It is the duty of every one to keep informed upon what is going on in the world out side of the narrow limits of ordinary school life. Many college men leave school after four years of study, and find that they are as ignorant of the great national and political affairs of the day as they were when they went into school as mere boys. This fact explains why a college man is looked upon as impractable and dreamy.
To those students merely reading for pleasure we would suggest that no more enjoyable half-hour can be spent than at a table in the library. Although incidental and collateral reading in not as beneficial as sys tematic reading yet it is useful at least and should be encouraged. We urge upon all the importance of the matter and hope that every one will take advantage of the opportunity which the University offers for work in this direction.
