Our Good-Bye.
This issue mars the close of this year of the WEEKLY UNIVERSITY COURIER; it places the last pages in Volume VIII, a volume that asks to take its position among those of an honorable carrier.
We have but little to say for that volume, it speaks for itself. There are blots and blemishes in it—mistakes—who doesn't make them? We would rub them out and smooth them away, but that is impossible, they must remain a part of an imperfect and irretrievable past. Yet, you will allow us the modest hope that we have not labored wholly in vain. We have done what we could do to make the COURIER a creditable representative of a great and growing institution. We are sure we have never forgotten that the COURIER was a part of a power of untold worth, that it was a possible force in that great cause: higher education. If then, the COURIER has added one whit of pleasure to college life, if it has been the students cordial if not helping friend, we are satisfied.
Loving the principles of universal democracy, we have tried to be fair, impartial and unprejudiced. Because he is a laborer in a noble cause we never donbt a students nobility until compelled to. The noble merit the respect of mankind.
Prompted by timely and manly criticism and our own realization of its weakness we have earnestly endeavored to better the character of our college press. We have fallen far from our ideal standard, there is yet much to be done. When our college journals shall have lain aside its narrow conservatism and unnatural tendencies, when it shall have become more manly, more practical more broadly intellectual, more like the concerns that win mens hearts because they first wfn their respect, when this is so, then many college editors cease their toil for better things.
To the students and faculty,
to a manly college press, to the
Review and Kansan, to the
Lawrence Record and Journal-Tribune, to the papers throughout the State, to innumerable friends, we want to extend again our hearty thanks for unfailing courtesies and kind words. Generous souls can never be forgotten. We shall return home with a heart full of love and hope for the manly spirit of the West and the proud progress of the Kansas State University.
Glad to get away from the graduating duties of a grinding "job," we willingly place the COURTER in other hands, confident that another year will add another volume to those now on file.
W. J. S.
THE weekly newspapers in the University for the past two years have been twain. The point to be empoasized right here is the fact that the University can only support one weekly paper and do herself credit. Nor do we wish to be understood as coming out at this late day to wage war against our peace-loving contemporary, but only to present a few facts to the mature and thinking students of K. S. U., for their consideration. The first one you will readily grant: There is one too many weeklies in the field. The next is: Which shall it be, COURIER or Kansan? The COURIER in its past volume, of which this issue is the close, has striven to be a students' paper, and not a paper in the interests of the "combination" and think we have succeeded. But another point before we go further: We, the COURIER management, have made it pay. The Kansan has not, and has been compelled to levy upon its share-holders time and time again. Last week our Kansan friends did not feel able, pecuniarily or otherwise, we know not which, to issue their paper. This occurring as it did at the newsiest period of the school year, might argue something toward the fittest paper for the students to clinch their faith and support.
Time has shown that the COURIER is here to stay, notwithstanding that the Kansan, coming out three hours after the COURIER was issued, this fall, contained an obituary notice of the COURIER.
But to return to our point. All want only our paper in the University The COURIER fills the requirements, and the management would respectfully ask the support of all for the coming year. The fact of the Kansan's failing to issue a number last week should point out to every clear minded man and boy, in the University which paper they should support.
Next year the COURIER will be with you. We wish you all a pleasant vacation, and a happy return to K. S. U. in September.
THE COURIER desires to extend thanks to Messrs. W. M. Curry, Chas. Farrow, Claassen and Fiegenbaum, for help in getting out this last issue. Mr. Curry has charge of the personal and local columns, Mr. Farrow chased down the lawyers for us, Mr. Claassen and Mr. Fiegenbaum gave us material aid in writing up the pharmacy department this commencement.

GEN. McCOOK is the kind of a man we like to see, never behind hand in anything, always in the front rank in every enterprise, while here, he showed the wealthy sons of the Sonflower State the way to express their loyalty to their own institutions. The General before leaving Lawrence made this offer: I will double any sum that may be raised for*the Athletic Association, and at any rate I will give $1,500.
General McCook is not a Kansas man but he sees the need of vigorous athletic exercise for young men in college and then too he saw the inadaquate equipment of the present association and with the same spirit that gave him the sobriquet of 'the Fighter' he wished to fill the breach.
We should be glad if the General would be compelled to at least double his $1,500. There are two live, active professors who have been identified with the athletic movement and who we doubt not will exert every effort to secure donations for the association. 'Tis pleasing to those who have labored so hard for the Athletic Association to see that their labors have been appreciated. Prof Carruth and Prof. Sterling, aided and abetted by Prof P. G. Canfield, we may safely say will show the people of Kansas that the athletic association is not involved in the dim and misty depths of obscurity but is an active and live reality.
The COURIER in the name of the students of the University tenders the most hearty thanks to Gen. McCook for his kindness.
The Current Sets AwAy.
The feeling seems to be gaining ground that the work of the K. S. U. is not enough to finish a young man's or young woman's education. Miss Merrill is at Bryn Maur. Of this year's class, Brewster, Hill, and perhaps Liddeke will go to Harvard and enter the Senior class to take their A. B. there. The two Franklins go to Germany. W. H. Johnson and L. T. Smith go to Johns Hopkins. Wilkinson and one or two others are thinking of going to Harvard before graduating here.
Owing to the necessary rush and hustle for the events of the week on Mt. Oread, we were unable to secure brief sketches of the lives of all the Seniors. We have secured the majority of the class and we are pleased to thus make known to the world those who will be important factors in it.
THE name of Prof J. W. Green, Dean of the law department, was left out of the heading of the law department by the inadvertance of the proof. reader. We wish to apologize for our proof reader.
From Lawrence to Kansas City. The undersigned, President and Proprietor of the Lawrence Business College for eight years past, wishes to announce to his many former pupils graduates, friends, and public generally, that he has sold the above school and removed to Kansas City, Mo., where he assumes the management of the Ksnsas City Business College.
In announcing this change we wish to make grateful acknowledgment to an intelligent and appreciative public for the high mark of favor accorded to our institution while located at Lawrence and promise that every possible effort shall be made to maintain in the Kansas City Business College, that standard of instruction which first secured for the Lawrence school so generous a patronage and support. this move is justified, from the fact that a large commercial center possesses many decided advantages over a small town for a great school of business, not only in its increased field of labor, but to the pupils who attend this class of schools as well; giving them far greater opportunities to secure a foothold in the business world after the work of preparation is complete. A few months residence among the stirring scenes of enterprise and activity familiarizes young men and young women with the vast realities of the world of trade, and gives them a practical insight into the complicated workings of the great wheels of commerce, which is of itself an education and wonderful incentive to young aspirants for place and position.
We solicit for our school at Kansas City a continuance of your individual patronage and encouragement pledging ourselves to maintain the best commercial school in the west and as good as any in the country. All former pupils, friends, correspondents and everybody interested in se, curing a shorthand or business education will address me at Kansas City for catalogue and other information, in reference to our school, instead of Lawrence as heretofore.
Respectfully
E. L. McLravy, Pres.,
Kansas City Business College,
New York Life Bldg.

The music house of W.W. Fluke & Son, wish to express through the columns of the COURIER, their appreciation of the good will and patronage of the students of the past year, and to wish them a pleasant and profitable vacation, hoping to see them all return in the fall ready for another years work.

Fluke & Son invite all old students, commencement visitors and others, to make their store headquarters while remaining in the city.
The Kansas City papers are on sale at 9:30 at Sa. News Depot.
