as unqualified as it is unwarranted. As Mrs. Rice proceeds she becomes more and more infuriated and "waxeth wroth" so to speak. She annihilates the young ladies societies at one swoop and places the faculty in a position, which if correct would make them the laughing stock of any civilized community. To say that an able body of instructors after years of experience is unable to see great and criminal wrongs on account of the toadyism of a few young students is really humorous. I can only say that if anyone believes this they should take immediate steps to secure the removal of such an easily-blinded, guillible and inefficient corps of professors.
So much for Mrs. Rice and her bundle of misleading statements. I do not wish to intimate that she has made them willfully, but a careful examination of the facts and the University records will, I think convince anyone that she has either been misinformed or has tortured a few special cases into general principles.
Now in regard to the endorsement by the "barbs."
In the first place it must be remembered that these are largely made up of new students who know very little about University affairs and are easily persuaded by those of longer attendance that the fraternities are all that the latter choose to paint them. But for the committees who drew up the resolutions no such excuse can be offered. They are young men who have come in frequent contact with the fraternities for several years and are fully cognizant of the facts which I have stated. From however prejudiced a standpoint they may look at this question, it is useless for them to pretend that they can consciently endorse the extravagant assertions of Mrs. Rice. They know that professors who are members of secret societies are as impartial and just as any others; that the fraternities are far from as expensive as they are represented to be; that they do not spoil students; that they are not to be spoken of in the same breath with dram shops and gambling dens; that fraternity men are as manly and as independent as any that ever entered the doors of the University or any institution of learning. And knowing these things and endorsing Mrs. Rice's article they make her mistakes their willful misrepresentations. But they are shut out of society by the arbitrary action of the fraternites! Are these men ignorant of the fact that in all bodies of students, of people generally, there are those to whom society does not open her doors? Are the fraternities to blame because society chooses to elect whom she receives and to whom she "is not at home?"
If it is a fair question, may I ask of one member of the committee when he became convinced of the injurious effects of the fraternities. I hope it has been recently, since the attempt to found a chapter of Delta Tau Delta here, as otherwise his action at that time could scarcely have been in harmony with the course his conscience must have dictated.
I have written this with no desire to enter into a controversy on the subject in fact I have made no attempt to show the many good features of the Greek letter fraternities but merely to disprove the charges laid at their door. My chief motive in writing has been to show that there is no such powerful and pernicious influence at work within the University as the secret societies have been represented to be, believing that the best interests of the University demanded that some one should do so.

The Washburn Reporter, the poor pugnaceous infant in the little institution up the river has raised its ignoble voice again against the Courier Endeavoring to be sarcastical, it so looses control of itself as to be unable to use correctly plain English. After enumerating for the one hundredth time all the little successes and victories of that institution, unmindful of the large contests won by other institutions, it at last makes the rash assertion that a student unable to enter their freshman class was admitted to the sophomore of the University of Kansas. We declare the assertion to be false, but if by false and untrue answers and by misrepresentation said individual did enter the sophomore class the little infant can be assured that the individual remained in the same. We however challenge them to name the person, we want facts, not the imagination of some idle brain.
THE University Reporter, the organ of the two leading literary societies of Georgia University, contains an account of an interesting debate in one of the societies on the question: "Resolved that the coeducation of the races should be prohibited by law in Georgia." It is needless to add that it was decided in the affirmative.
The Washington-Jeffersonian for October is a good number, it contains a big history of Washington and Jefferson college; the inter-collegiate department is well conducted and contains many interesting facts.
