Writ the close of this year the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering School will have been established one year in the Kansas State University. To know what it has accomplished in that length of time will surprise you. Under the judicious management of Prof. Blake it has made a splendid beginning.
The establishment of this School was certainly a work of commendable wisdom. The demand for well trained mechanical and electrical engineers has become urgent and continuous. In keeping with the spirit of modern thought and her own standard for progressive and practical education that demand has been heeded by the Kansas State University.
Four years constitute a course in this department: it leads to the degree of Bachelor of Science. Besides the theoretical and essential studies, progressive training is given in almost every branch of mechanics. This means practical work with the vise, bench, forge, lathe, planer, drill—everything that may be found in a thoroughly furnished machine shop. Not only this, but excellent practice is given in designing and pattern-making.
Such are the purposes of this course. But, you ask, are they being carried out? We reply that they are—just as rapidly and as thoroughly as the present means will allow. A glance at the newly equipped machine shop will convince you more than anything else that every effort is being made to place this department among the first of the University; and more, it will convince you that these efforts have been remarkably successful. More than $7,000 worth of machinery has been purchased and placed in the new shop; more will follow. Nothing will be omitted that will add to the completeness of this practical department.
Prof. Blake is assisted by Mr. Frank Ward, the foreman of the shop. Mr. Ward accepted this position last fall. He at once went to work upon the shop and its present neat and masterly appearance is due solely to his energetic labors. He comes from Joliet, Ill., where he was for some time a master mechanic in the Bales Machine Manufacturing Co. As a mechanic he is thoroughly skilled and proficient. He loves his work to which he has devoted a bright mind and many years of patient labor. As a man he wins your respect by his gentlemanly manners and extensive learning In the short time we spent with him in our visit through the shop, we came quickly to the conclusion that the University was exceedingly fortunate in securing such an able and excellent instructor.
Eighteen students are now enrolled in this department: there is every reason to believe that this number will be doubled next year. At least we are sure that in the establishment of this Mechanical and Electrical School the University took another great stride to the front.
benefit of a journalistic experience. His frequent contributions to the college press, have given evidence of a literary taste of no little worth. His poetic efforts in particular have won a reception at once cordial and complimentary. Mr Barnes is fortune in taking to his responsible position the valuable benefits or some experience in practical journalism. This will serve him in good stead. Indeed, we would doubt the succes of his administration were he without this knowledge We believe that it should be the qualification of every occupant of the place. Such a place should not be the training school for the apprentice
WE believe that the recent election has placed the University Review in the control of another able and efficient staff. Mr. Barnes will bring to the editorial chair a strong natural ability and the practical
Nor need the shareholders fear the bankruptcy of the company; Messrs. Copper and Robinson will never permit such a catastrophy. Mr Robinson is an able and energetic fellow, while Mr. Copper is a pronounced success as an irresistable "rustler". It is conceded that the present success of the COURIER is due in a great measure to his untiring energy and shrewd business tact. We then have a right to believe that the Review will continue to be the financial success that it has allways been.
In short we are confident that under the new administration the Review will lose naught of its popularity, influence and literary excellence.
THERE is nothing like hearing both sides of a question. Here is what a writer in Harper's Weekly says of the fraternity system: at Amherst College:
"Amherst has worked out another problem in American education: it has made use of the Greek letter societies as a basis for the establishment of students' homes. A considerable majority of the students join one or the other of the several Greek letter society, each of which has its club houses where a large part of its members have their rooms and where the student has nearly all the comforts of his own home. Members of different classes here associate on equal terms, and men find the way to each others hearts and souls under this form of social life as they could in no other way.
The intellectual and social life thus stimulated is of the greatest value and when joined to the manly spirit developed by the college Senate, it gives Amherst a rare advantage in the cultivation of the best life of its members."
CAN it be possible that the State University of this prattiotic Kansas forgets and neglects the day sacred to men who saved the Union and freed the slave? Has the State University of this prattiotic Kansas become so very conservative that it can't join in the praises to a nation's heroes; that it can't close its doors on Memorial Day? If President Harrison can find time to scatter flowers then, why should not Kansas students be given the same privilege? These are questions that the patriotic statesmen of Kansas ought to answer. It is about time they were doing so. It will never do for the Kansas State University to disregard another Memorial Day.
It was a blasting defeat and the class of 'oo will never get over it. It was a signal victory and whether the Faculty will ever get over it or not, it is very likely they will never see its like again. We lost our bet, but we are glad of it.
AGAIN the Base Ball Club has won the praise and congratulation of the University. It was thought that the McCooks were invincible. Our boys came nearly shutting them out. Their victory can indeed be called a famous victory
Prof. Blake is Honored.
Piof. L. I. Blake has recently been offered the full professorship of physics in Amherst College. The ivitation comes unsolicited and as a perfect surprise to the Professor.
To our question whether he would accept the position Prof. Blake said: "As yet I am wholly undecided. I have not fully considered the matter, but I must say that the offer is a very attractive one to me. Amherst, you know, is one of the oldest and best known institutions in the East. Its chair of physics, thoroughly equipped as it is, is a prize in the eyes of professional teachers. Besides the salary there is twice that here. But on the other hand I do not like to leave my labors here. The mechanical and electrical department has just bugun its work and I do not want to leave it. If I do decide to accept this offer, I shall regret to go."
Again is the University in danger of losing one of its brightest and ablest men. But our needs must not stand in the way of a rising professor.
Prof. Blake has been here but three years, yet his work has been of the most able and effective character. He has won a place in the esteem of the students that few professors win. It will be hard to find any one who can hold his position so well and so ably as he has done it.
The offer that the professor has received is an exceptional honor, and as a young man, having, as he undoubtedly has, high aspirations, he will likely accept it. Whether he does or not, Prof. Blake is to be congratulated.
The Review Election.
The Review Election.
The annual meeting for the election of an editorial and business staff of the University Review was held last Monday afternoon in old Orophilian Hall.
H. F. M. Bear the retiring editor-in-chief, called the meeting to order and announced the order of business Messrs. Curry and Roberts were appointed tellers and the election, the outcome of a combination among Betas, Phi Psis, Sigma Nus and Phi Gamas resulted as follows; Editor-in-chief, Harold Barnes; Business Managers, H. E. Copper and Ernest Robinson; associate editors; Misses Laura Lockwood, Hellen Simpson, Frances Herrington and Mamie Pugh and Messrs. William Curry and Albert Fullenton; Board of Directors R. D. Brown, H. F. Roberts, E. F. Engel and J. M. Challis.
most decorous ever held by the Review Company. It certainly could not have been more so.
The old war horses tell us that this election was the quietest and
Miller-Viele.
We see by the Wichita News-
Beacon that Miss Mignon Viele and
Mr. Lee C. Miller were married at
that place on the 21 st. The cerem-
yment-an eminently elaborate and
distinguished one-was performed
at the home of the bride.
Mr. Miller is another K. U. boy who has sealed his fortune for the future. Mr. Miller attended the University from '83 to '86; here he was united with the Sigma Nu fraternity.
The News-Beacon says of him "Mr. Miller is well and favorably known in Wichita, although at present engaged in business in Salt Lake City. He formerly lived here and while here he was engaged in the real estate business. He has a host of friends who congratulate him on the happy event."
Of the bride the same informant says: "The bride has been a leading member of society since her debut therein a season ago. She will make friends in her new home as she leaves them in Wichita."
Mr. and Mrs. Miller will make their home in Salt Lake City, where the COURIER sincerely hopes their lives may be long and happy.
Prof. Hopkins left for his home in New York last Monday afternoon. His early departure was caused by the serious illness of his mother. The Professor will spend most of the summer in New York City, devoting himself to special study in English Literature. Prof. Hopkins will return next fall and K. S. U., at least those who know his pleasant manner and evident worth—will welcome him back.
Prof Geo. Weida left last Thursday for his home in Allentown Pa. After a short visit there, he will go to Harvard and then to Johns Hopkins. At this institution he may conclude to take a course in pharmacy; in that case, his trip to Germany will be postponed one year. At all events he has determined to complete his education in Europe. That his years of study may be pleasant and his return happy, is the wish of his many friends at K. S. U.
Students should not forget the Farewell Service, in which all University people participate, at the Episcopal church, Sundav morning at 11 o'clock. The north half of the church will be reserved. Several fraternities are going in a body and the attendance will be thoroughly representative. Rev Mr. Ayres is one of the ablest preachers in the city, and students will be sure of a sound, practical sermon. Professor J. H. Canfield. Professor A. G. Canfield and Prof Sayre will act as ushers.
Mrs. C. P. Grosvenor very charn-
ingly entertained the K. K. G'z
last Saturday after-noon.
