The Department of Music is to be congratulated on this increase of its library facilities.
Saturday afternoon the young ladies of Kappa Alpha Theta held an open meeting and entertained their lady friends at the home of Mrs. Dudley C. Haskell. Carriages conveyed the many guests to the place of meeting, and the afternoon was passed pleasantly and enjoyably. The Kappa Alpha Theta's have begun the year under most favorable circumstances and success is greeting them on every hand.
Through some mistake an article appeared in our last issue to the effect that the Pharmacy department had only six Seniors. This is a great injustice to that department, which has grown in the last three years, under the careful management of Prof. Sayre, to be one of the best and most thoroughly equipped pharmaceutical departments in the West. The number of students in that department number forty, of which sixteen instead of six are Senior.
Miss Watson has struck upon quite a novel plan of admitting students into the alcoves of the library. She has issued tickets to the Juniors and Seniors; she has also provided a rack which holds twenty tickets—this being the number of students that can conveniently operate in the alcoves without disturbance to one another.Each student on entering the library deposits the ticket in this rack, and when it is full the next comer has to wait till some one comes out to enter.
The Washburn Argo is among the first of our exchanges to arrive, and we greet it with a hearty welcome. But when in its first issue it states that a young man, a former student of that institution, after investigating the facilities, etc., of the University of Kansas, finally decides to return to Washburn, it states the truth. The young man in question came to our institution to investigate its facilities as is stated above, took one glance at our curriculum, and the first question in an examination for admission to the sub-Freshman class, and finally deciding that he could not even enter our lowest class, he took the first train to Washburn. We don't know what class he belongs to in that college, but we could have informed him before, if he had taken the trouble to write, that all classes below the sub-Freshman have been dropped for the last two years.
