For the benefit of some of our spring sports we give the following definition of a thoroughbred: A thoroughbred is a man who forgets that he has on new clothes.
THE Journal wants to know what the students are going to do May day to relieve its editor from spring fever. If he will gird up his loins and come up on the hill about 9 o'clock a.m, May 1st, he will find "something" that will make him breathe more freely.
THE '95 "Cornellian" is the handsomest yet issued. An edition de luxe of twenty copies has been issued and distributed among the members of the board, the prize-winners, the University library and the president of the University. The book is bound in Cornell colors, gros grain silk for sides and white vellum back, untrimmed edges with gilt top. A special die was made for the cover.
At a meeting held Tuesday evening, April 16th, 1895, the law class of '96, Columbian University, Washington, D.C., elected Mr. Frank H. Moore, graduate of Kansas University and member of the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity, to represent them on the editorial staff of the Columbian, the university magazine.
The Latin salutatory at Princeton, class of 95, representing the highest attainment in general scholarship in a class of 151 members has been awarded to William Douglas Ward, of Rochester, New York, who is also the famous half-back on the Uarsity eleven and fielder of the base-ball nine.
We are informed! We are given to understand that a paper run by the Sigma Nus is a paper by the student body. This is surely a "state of affairs." We wish to congratulate the student body. We wish to congratulate Kansas University. We also wish to congratulate ourselves, because we are not members of the student body.
OTTAWA UNIVERSITY has gotten hold of a little sand from coming in contact with the foot-ball men from Baker. They have organized a ball team and if reports are true it is a good one. They defeated the College of Emporia two games last week. We venture to say however that when Kansas University plays Emporia the team will be different. A few of the town boys will be thrown in, just to even the score up
The Board of Overseers of Harvard have placed the foot-ball question in the hands of the Athletic committee, whatever they determine is to be subject to the approval of the corporation, the President and the Board of Overseers. This probably settles the football question at Harvard, as the Athletic committee will favor playing foot-ball next fall, and the action of the Board of Overseers in voting against the faculty shows which way the wind blows.
