M. O. Billings is making a success of his newspaper, at Marion. He has had several journalistic hair pullings with his contemporaries and has come out on top every time.
To Our Successors.
To the incoming editorial board of the Courier—not the editor-in-chief, for he will doubtless know more about the business than the writer—a word of advice from one who has been a year in the mill might not be out of place. It is not the purpose of this article to tell you how to run a paper, but to tell you what not to run in the paper.
Don't use "we" on the local page. It makes the editor-in-chief mad, and is not good taste anyway.
Don't try to be funny; as a general rule you will make people tired.
Don't try to write poetry. You can't do it, you know. One of the present board resigns to recuperate a constitution broken down by the poetry habit. He could have held his position this year, but for his trouble with his muse—poor White.
EDITOR CRURIER: I have not yet joined any fraternity, although I have been invited by two or three to join. The last frat that asked me, introduced some girls to me who advised me to join that frat. What would you do? Are girls' opinions and advise good in such cases? Please answer through your columns.
Don't, beyond all things, fail to hand in your stuff every week.
NEW READER.
Mr. New Reader, the Courier would advise you to keep your head cool where a girl rushes you. Ladies are the most successful rushers, but also the most prejudiced. Use your own judgment and if you think that the fraternity uses the girls as a device to hide its poverty, shake it; but if you think the boys simply wish you th meet their girls that you may know their frat's standing, all right. Any way, don't be in a rush.
Local.
The Lawrence Business Academy opened up Monday.
The Betas had a little "feed" in their hall Saturday night.
The campus looks delapidated. Let Jinnie get his work in.
The Law Department opened on Thursday with a good attendance.
The Phi Gamma Delta fraternity have established their quarters at the Lawrence house.
Unless they hurry things along the University won't be heated until nearly Christmas.
The work of raising the west wall of the building will not be completed until cold weather.
A sample of the new 155 foot Ellsworth salt vein is being analyzed in the chemical laboratory.
The chemical department has received a lot of specimens of boiler scale from our late superintendant, W. J. Parrish.
The chairs for Snow Hall will soon arrive. They are of the opera variety, and are the finest in the University.
There should be a new catalogue of the Library issued AT ONCE. If the students can't examine the books they should at least have a catalogue.
The Senior class will receive next week the back-study cards from the committee of the faculty. If you see a Senior shake you will know what has happened.
The entire Senior class of the Pleasanton High School, consisting of eight girls, has entered K. S. U., and that town in the future will be known as Dismalton.
There are only six Seniors in the Pharmacy department. Quite a falling off from the previous year, but the delinquency is fully made up by the able set of young men who have entered the Junior year.
Ths Law Department opened this morning with twenty good men in attendance. They have use of the rooms formerly occupied by Prof. Williams and also the old library room.
The Sigma Chi goat got in his work on three victims Tuesday night and the names of J. W. Root, '88, of Wyandotte, Eugene Sharum, '91, of Yates Center, and Chas. Vorhees, '91, of Russell, are added to the list.
The Atheneum Literary Society will render its first program for the college year in the old Oread room, south side, third floor, at 3 o'clock this afternoon. This young society is composed entirely of active, willing members, and a good program is anticipated. New students who wish to obtain that training which only a literary society can give, and all who are interested in literary and oratorical work are cordially invited to attend. Remember the place.
Dr. Jenkins, of the Connecticut agricultural experiment station, has sent to the chemical department a valuable set of commercial fertilizers. They will be used in the illustration os lectures and for analysis by students.
The Phi——, excuse us, but they won't, either. We were going to say something about somebody "entertaining their lady friends this evening," but subsequent developments have caused it to be postponed. Tisn't a good day for dancing, anyhow.
Kansas students, if you want your University to succeed, work. Don't think chin work will make a school, for it wont; it takes good hard boning, early and late. Get up the reputation of the University for work and turn out good men and its future is assured. No school can succeed without study by its students.
Young gentlemen who have been calling upon their solid girls two or three times a week have been informed by the landlads where said girls are stopping that they will be permitted to call but once a week. The landlads say this is official. And it came to pass that there was weeping and wailing and gnashing of celluloid teeth.
The opening address of the University was made last Friday morning by Rev. Cameron Mann, pastor of the Episcopal Church of Kansas City, and one of the most eminent divines in the west. His subject was, "The Object of an Education." Not only was the delivery of the speaker excellent, but by his well-chosen and finely-expressed remarks he held the close attention of his audience. His closing remarks were: "This is the work of the University, to train and store your minds so you can think and reason rightly; to give you powers of observation that will open the world of truth around you, so that you in turn can open the eyes of others. This is your object here, and in pursuit of it I wish you God speed."
Hushed are the birds that sat in the eaves, and poured forth their melodious sweet; like tears of the wind fall the fluttering leaves, round a mansion on Tennessee street. The voices that rang, with the songs that they sang, in the halls are all silent I trow, for the maiden's have left, the mansion bereft, and the Nunnery's not running now. The grass now is creeping where dainty feet trod, the hired girl sits on the stoop, and instead of the students to tear up the sod, the hens are let out of the coop. At the windows no more do we see half a score of faces; no more do we bow, but sadly pass on, and sigh that they're gone, for the nunnery's not running now. — [From "Lays of Lawrence and Other Songs," by Campbell Watson.
