The Library
An old student returning to K S U, cannot help noticing the marked improvement in our library facilities. A thing which has been long looked for, and much coveted has at last been consummated
From one room the library has been increased to three, from crowded, dingy quarters, spacious and comfortable rooms have been placed at our disposal. A University ever progressive as the University of Kansas has been, with talented men in our faculty and men of standing and financial ability in our board of regents and with a set of students ambitions to have the best facilities in our various departments, a library building should adorn Mount Oread; an honor and pride to the State of Kansas. Changes for the better have been wrought in our University in the last five years, the State has been generous in its donations and kindly feeling toward us, whatever we have asked for we have received, when consistent and advisable. With a spacious library building, an honor to the University, the members of our legislature will receive thanks and praise, from professors, alumni and students and our most hearty support.

Again the Courier is on hand to welcome back the old students and to extend a hearty greeting to the new. At the present writing it is impossible to tell, with any accuracy what the attendance for the year will be. But if indications are at all reliable it will be unusually large. Indeed the University's prospects never seemed brighter for a prosperous year. In spite of the fact that general business is somewhat dull, owing to the failure of crops through out a large portion of the State there has been an enormous demand for catalogues and larger inquiry than ever before for information about the University. While our warmest wishes are for a large attendance and a successful, prosperous year of work and study. Still in any event we will bring the Courier out as regularly as the week rolls around and make it as good as our finances and ability will permit. Experience has demonstrated the practicability of publishing two papers at K. S. U one a repository for the literary efforts of the students and the other, a chronicle to every day happenings and a record of student transactions. This latter field, the Courier companies and claims as its own; and in it will strive to excel. It will, as in its past be frank and fearless. It will criticize and praise where it thinks criticism and praise are deserved and above all will endeavor to be just to everyone. Now one word to all new students. This paper is published for students and by students, accordingly its columns are always open to every student, and it will always be ready to publish any well written, sensible communication Remember that the students of other colleges must form their opinions of our University largely from the papers which it publishes. It rests with you one and all to make these papers excellent or worthless. Remember that this is not a money making scheme, but that every cent made over expenses will go towards enlarging and beautifying the paper. We shall strive to make the Courier as interesting as possible, it is your duty to subscribe for it and aid it in every way possible.
Denton bHaggeoom, our able business manager, can furnish students contradictory testimony to the fish stories of Dyche, Eames and Brown, concerning their hunts in New Mexico, as that gentleman spent a great deal of the past summer in their so-called famous stamping grounds.

These specimens are well worth a visit from all students and visitors.
Professor James A. Canfield the eminent and popular professor of the political science department, has again been elected secretary of the National Teachers Association.

The K. S. U. nine looses this year three of its best players, Jep Davis, Harry Deford and Ed. Esterly. These men are good stanch men and will weaken the nine considerably. If you know any good ball players among the new students, report him to the secretary of the club at once.
