As LARGE a university as K. U. should have a gymnasium.
AFTER a thing is started it always goes slower than was expected.—Ex.
With Motter and Newton at Chicago K. U. may rest assured that her interests will be well looked after.
Ir will now be seen whether the merchants who set up such a hue annd cry for one university paper will make good their promises.
WITH this issue the Courrr ceases to be. With this issue we go down so that a paper of which, it is to be hoped, we shall all be proud shall be given a clear field. The only thing that we regret is, that next week we shall be like the Students Journal in one thing-dead.
We do not like to see students bet their father's money. But we are heartily ashamed of a K.U. student who will go around town saying that he will bet two to one that such and such a team will defeat K.U. and then, when some student who is loyal "takes him up," back down. We are afraid that the youth is looking for noteriety as a "sport."
Come back next year, and bring some one else with you. Take some personal interest in our University. Try and think of what you can do for K.U. this summer. There ought to be men or women in your town or vicinity who are looking for some place to go to school next year. Tell them what a magnificent university we have here. Bring them back with you in September.
The people of Ottawa have as much hatred for Lawrence and the University stored away in their brests as the Baldwin people have. At the ball game between K.U. and Ottawa the crowd would march out on the field every time a word would be said to the Umpire by our men. They wanted to fight. Is it not funny how brave, about two hundred cowards become, when they only have ten men to bluff?
It might be an unwritten law among ball players that everything that another club leaves is "yours," but we never heard of its being gentlemanly nor indicative of true college spirit for one college man to steal from another. One of the K. U. players had his mit stolen from him at Ottawa last Monday. After a talk with a couple of Baker men the mit was returned. The Baker man who took the mit probably meant it for a joke still it did not look just right for a Baker man—a man who pos s before the world as just the "only thing." to be caught stealing.
