Chancellor Snow, Greeting.
Prof Snow, as the next chancellor of the Kansas State University, the COURIER welcomes and congratulates you. A heart full of joy and pride goes with our greeting We rejoice with the people of the State and the students of the University:—a State and University that now honors your long, earnest and eminent service. Your promotion is but a just and fitting reward for patient and fruitful toil and devotion. It is but placing an honor where honor is due. Kansas is proud to claim you—she is glad to honor you.
You will take the chancellor's chair bearing the trust and confidence of the people of Kansas. In your ripened and superior knowledge and broad and exceptional experience they rest securely the future of the Kansas State University. Proud of your past achievements, they unreservedly place in your care the "glory" of the state.
Confident of your future success and happiness again the COURIER welcomes and congratulates you.
If there is a more kind, gentlemanly and courteous fellow than Clerk Moody we would like to see him. Did you ever ask a favor of him but that he smiled pleasantly and gave it heartily? Did you ever see him cross or crabbed? To what straits his patience is often put is quite remarkable: but acting with the fortitude of a Job, he takes and does everything with a wonderous good nature. Able, faithful, kind and obliging, the University could have found no better man than Clerk Moody.
THE University will miss Curry, Voorhis and Hickey. Especially will the ball team be crippled: undoubtedly they are its three strongest men. Besides, where can you find three more pleasant and popular fellows? We regret to see them go.
PECK—the father of a lot of innumberable "bad boys"—has been elected mayor of Milwaukee. It is said that every rag tag and boot-black in the city is begging him for an official position. Such is fame!
THE Czar of Russia has surpassed the University of St. Petersburg. Let the victims of Russian tyranny take heart: when you go to gagging students the best man on earth will get left.
THE students of the Ohio State University have played a joke on ex-President Cleveland. There is is no telling what young America will do.
SOME say it isn't the best thing to look backward. Bellamy has made $16,000 doing it.
Our Exchange Table.
LAST Sunday's issue of the New York Star contains a symposium by many college presidents on the question whether the boy or the girl is the more apt in learning. Every prominent institution of coeducation is represented and the different opinions are highly interesting. In a few of the colleges the girls are given the preference, while in others the boys are given first place. But the weight of the opinion goes to the principle that aptness or quickness of learning depends mainly upon individual talent and application.
Hon. W. C. Spangler in passing his judgement, very wisely stuck to the tence. He says: "In this institution the young men and women make practically the same progress in the studies of the college course." We say that was rare wisdom. It never would have done to intertere with the sweet harmony that exists between the "boys and girls" of K. S. U.
A RECENT number of the Kansan said that the Hesperian had been "giving it" to the COURIER. To relieve the minds of those who may possibly have a concern in the immediate existence of the COURIER, we give in full the comment of the Hesperian:
K. U. COURIER has opened an exchange column. Its editor is something new in the line of "frats" He is at once the unqualified advocate of the literary society and the staunch friend of the fraternity. He says: "Even if we accepted so fallacious a principle that these organizations are diametrically opposite would we then be compelled to lessen our love for the one or our loyalty to the other." Hearken, "Ye cannot serve two masters, etc." As we have before said, Kansas University shows the result of Greek rule in the helpless condition of its literary societies. Here it has always been the boast of the Greeks that they would kill our literary societies. They have succeed in killing their own repeatedly and they will do it again ere long.
When we first read the above we did not believe that it effected much our plain and impartial position in regard to fraternities and literary societies. Such still is our opinion.
But since the COURIER has been thrown upon its defense we feel compelled to add a few more words to a subject that is not a little threadbare.
We believe that the Hesperian does not clearly understand our position. Let us state it again. It is simply this: Because we believe that the fraternity and literary society are deserving organizations the COURIER gives o each
a hearty support. What, Mr. Hesperian, is there wrong in that? How in the world are we serving two masters in doing that? Is this the reason we are something new in the line of frats? Is it something new to do the square, just and impartial thing? Because we cannot see that fraternities and literary societies are diametrically opposed, because we cannot see that the fraternity is the constituted enemy of the society, the Hesperian pleases to call us something new. "Ye cannot serve two masters." We agree. What masters? Do you call the fraternity a master or do you call the society a master? Is it possible that either one can demand and hold in abjection any or all of our support and devotion? Would there be a violation of any moral creed if this devotion was divided? In following your philosophy, Mr. Hesperian, can we not be logically lead to believe that in befriending the fraternity and the society the COURIER is tramping upon something like divine precedent? Do you mean to say that a fraternity man must leave off all that is good and right, simply because he is a fraternity man? Plainly, Mr. H., do you mean to say that in joining a fraternity a student cannot love and defend his college, that he cannot support her mental and moral interests, that he cannot denounce wrong and injustice—but that he must perforce bow down to one and only one tyrannical master?
In conclusion we were about to say Mr. Hesperian, that a fight against prejudice and bigotry is at the most a profitless one: but we will not say it. We respect too highly your evident ability and honesty of purpose. However formed, conscientious convictions deserve manly courtesy. Besides we are one of those who believe that to tolerate honest opinion is to get a little higher in the scale of human civilization.
To judge from the following, the Kansan is rapidly reaching an ideal position as a college journal :
No other college journal in the state is guilty of such scornful, insulting and even abusive language as may be found almost weekly in the University Kansan. The college press of the state, for the most part have accorded it silent contempt. They, like the sun, have no time to stop and trifle with a whining puppy. They do not, after the manner of Don Quixote, choose to fight windmills.
So says the College Echoes of Lane University. This may be just a little hard, but any paper that has the effrontery to set itself up as the imperial censor of the greater part of the earth; that treats victorious rivals with peurile grunts and sneers; that sees no
good or worth beyond the contracted focus of its own dark and cynical goggles; that attempts to spit and tread upon the other colleges of the state, because, forsooth, K. S. U. is and of right ought to be the only institution in the land; and that looks with aristocratic arrogance and contempt upon all but an elected few, of our fellow students,—such a paper, we say, deserves something like the lashing the College Echoes saw fit to give it.
WE are heartily glad that the Hesperian is coming to understand the COURIER'S policy. You will see by the following, clipped from its last issue, that the Hesperian has some idea of justice:
Any one who will take the trouble to read the K. S. U. COURIER will find that the "barbs" there are not at all dead and that, moreover, the COURIER is trying to do the square thing by both sides for once. We would seriously advise the "barbs" of K. S. U. to stick to their principals, organize and fight. Success is in the air.
"Oh that mine enemy would write a book!" If the ancient individual were living now his refrain would be. "Oh that mine enemy were taking dutch."—Hesperian.
Prof. Thompson of the Univ. of Penn'a. is the only prominent political economist who supports the doctrine of protection. The rest are free-traders.-Ex. Not quite so, my dear sir. Prof. Blackmar of Kansas State University is a protectionist. Note him down please.
THE professors have remarked, as you have no doubt heard them, that this promiscuous carving on the chairs and other university property is punishable by the laws of the state. If you are love sick or belong to some fraternity or a barb organization or some Ku Klux Klan there is still no need that you should mark and disfigure university property with either the name of your girl, your own initials or the symbols of the order to which you belong. We have not yet seen a chair in the University that is not decorated in some way by an aspiring wood carver. The chairs should receive a new coat of paint and the next student seen whittling them should be made amendable to the law.
