YALE has extended her law course from two, to three years.
THE first Ph. D. given by the University of Chicago was conferred on a Japanese.
In several universities the plan of selling season tickets to the athletic games has been a success. But as far as the receipts from the base-ball games at Kansas University is concerned the scheme has been a failure.
THE Kansas University weekly will be a journal of great merit and well worth your support. It will contain articles written by some of our brightest students about love, and Napoleon. You must buy shares or you cannot vote. The election of the board of editors will be held in about two weeks.
THE Journal after changing the business managers two or three times has at last made a ten strike. C.R.Troxell has again come to the front and will act as the pallbearer for the "old glory" of the "barbs."
PROF. CHARLES G. DUNLAP and wife leave for Europe in June. They will be gone a year The University will lose a splendid professor by this, for a time, but year after next he will again be with us. The Courier wishes Prof. and Mrs. Dunlap a pleasant trip.
THE Kansas University Lawyer jumps upon the editor of the Journal in answer to his derogatory remarks about the Lawyer and its managers in a frightful manner. "Do not fool with lawyers," would be a good motto for Hackney to place over his fireplace.
THE annual indoor meet of the University occurs on Saturday evening This meeting will be a very interesting one, no doubt and well worth the price of admission. Kansas University is proud of her athletic honors The students should encourage this indoor meet by their presence.
PROF F. W. BLACKMAR has been appointed by Gov. Morrill as a delegate to the National Conference of Charities to be held in New Haven, Coun., May 24-30. The governor made a good choice in selecting the professor, as he is much better fitted to perform the duties as delegate than a politician would be. He has a thoroughly practical knowledge of charitable institutions.
Why would it not be a good thing to have the oratorical contest, commonly called the spring consest, take place in the early fall? Would it not awaken interest in our state contest if a prize of $25 was offered to the winner of the preliminary contest? We cannot see the value of a spring contest commencing as it does at the end of the year. We ought to do something to work up interest. Why not try the change?
