Our Exeqange Table.
The latest cautionary signals at the University indicate approaching Snow. —Record.
WE call the attention of the State University to the fact that there is a prominent Chancellor out of a job and he is a sound protectionist, too. We refer of course to Chancellor Bismark.-Marion Record.
THE Washington Jeffersonian is a model for college journalists. Its March number is one of exceptional merit. Its article on "Reading the Newspaper," is one of great interest to all students. We hope to find room for most of it in our next issue.
As a pleasant consummation of its growth and expansion the Baker Beacon has replaced its head with a bigger and brighter one. We are fully confident that the Beacon will thoroughly sustain the enlargement, though it is in a very dubious place. A wise move gentlemen.
ONE of our most welcome exchanges is the Clay Center Dispatch, edited by Bion S. Hutchins. The University claims Mr. Hutchins as one of her most distinguished graduates—she is proud of him. The Dispatch is a journal of exceptional worth and brilliancy. We appreciate the courtesy that prompts Mr. H. to send his paper to our Table.
The Capital believes the time has come in the history of Kansas for the friends of the University to insist that it be conducted for the educational interests of the State by competent men in the board of regents and be freed from the influence of ward politicirs, and that a professional educator of ability and experience be placed at the head as chancellor.—Topeka Capital.
THE Washburn Argo turns its red sails to the March gales with enough good sense on board to ensure it a happy voyage. But, say, Argo, what is the matter with the eyes of your proof-reader? Suffering the same trouble that bothers the rest of us? But it is with our proof sheets as it is with our lives: our neighbor can see a hundred mistakes where we would swear there were none. When you give your proof-reader a "turning over," just give him our sympathy
This week brings the first number of the Irving Journal, a monthly published by the Irving Literary Society of Chillicothe.
Ohio. As a visitor from home its reception is doubly hearty The Editor, Lorin B. Sears seems to be trying to follow the impossible footsteps of an unfortunate relative. We don't want to make this a family affair, but the Journal makes a decidedly pleasant appearance; its bow is conventional enough to be graceful and its manners are sensible enough to be literary The Journal contains much that interests ye editorial scribe: it brings the past and tells of old, dear things—home, friends, enough! There will be lots of room on our Table for it.
THE Lawrence journal, has nominated Prof. A. R. Marsh for the chancellorship of the University. The nomination is certainly sound and judicious. In our opinion, next to Prof. Canfield, Prof Marsh is the most suitable candidate. Formerly of the University, Prof. Marsh is known well enough in Kansas to meet with the approval of our people and press. He is universally regarded by the students as an unusually broad and learned man. His Alma Mater, Harvard, has thought him worthy of one of her highest professorships, and surely K. S. U. ought to recognize his worth as well. Prof. Marsh could raise the standard of the University as no other man but Prof. J. H. Canfield could.
A CHICAGO court has recently decided that dusting law books is an employment beneath the station of an office law student. The case was this: a young man entered a law office at a salary of $275 per year with the understanding that he was to "read law and make himself generally useful." One day his employees ordered him to dust and arrange some dirty law books. He refused. They discharged him. He sued for a year's salary and the court decided in his favor.
How the times change! When Abraham Lincoln was plodding along with his Blackstone dusting of books was not the meanest work he had to do. But ours is an age of which Honest Abe never dreamed. Just what he would have done, in his time, to a young man who should have refused to sweep the office out, is very easily guessed. Yes, ours is a wonderful age. Legal protection is to idleness and disobedience; and honorable labor, though low, is stamped with disgrace. Sturdy brawn is giving way to effeminate whims. Verily, the times have changed! But we don't like the change. Are the young men of today better than those of Lincoln's time? Is labor less honorable than it once was? Is there a loss of dignity in honest toil? If so, this generation is to be pitied, helped, defended, revolutionized, advanced!
IT is reported that the Phi Psis were very successful with their lecture course scheme. The Courier congratulates the young gentlemen. They certainly displayed perseverence, pluck and energy; and that always merits success
IN the resignation of Prof. McDonald, the University looses a thoroughly earnest and competent instructor. Always conscientious and careful, his excellent labors have added much to the worth and stability of the University. We sincerely regret the loss.
We note with pleasure the great interest the students are taking in the athletic affairs of the University Nothing seems to lag for want of encouragement. Every sport is loyally supported. The future of the Athletic Association is becoming brighter each day Success is inevitable.
GEO. KENNAN is building for for humanity. His is a labor for the future good and happiness of fellow men His is an edifice founded upon mercy and justice, and built for the shelter and defence of right and reason.
He tells of the horrors and heart aches of the present, that the future may be better and brighter.
As a lecturer Mr. Kennan is a success. There is no useless verbiage and rhetorical trickery in his story; it needs none, for back of that calm and simple and unvarnished narration, is seen the noble character of the speaker, the pitiful woe of suffering humanity and the manly appeal for mercy. We felt that Mr. Kennan was sincere, and that was enough to win our rapt attention and admiration.
We would like to say that there is a sentiment among the Faculty and students of the University and among the people of the State that the Kansas State University should have a Chancellor. Perhaps you have noted the fact.
We would like to say further that there is a sentiment among the Faculty and students of the University and among the people of Kansas that the next Chancellor of the Kansas State University shall be a Kansas man. You certainly have become aware of this fact. If not, turn to the recent numbers of Kansas papers and then be convinced. If not, ask your son, your neighbor, who they want for the next chancellor of the University. They will dispell your ignorance.
The question now has com down to this: What Kansan shall it be? Were tongues freed from partisan prejudice and tyranny there would be but one universa shout. If Kansas merit were honored and justice done there could be but one selection.
Prof J. H. Canfield should be
