It is said that a really nice girl is not always being "shocked," by the young men. This rule does not apply in the University of Kansas.
THE Kansas University Lawyer made its initial appearance last week. It is gotten up in a very neat manner and reflects great credit upon its editors and does credit to the best law school in the west.
PRESIDENT ELIOT, of Harvard, takes a stand against modern foot-ball in his annual report, declaring that it has degenerated and that its spectators are little better than those who attend prize fights.
We see by the papers that the Yale faculty has prohibited the freshman class from playing ball this spring. If our faculty would take such an action we might be able to get up some interest in class games. The freshmen would probably show up with their nines.
DURING July and August of 1893, Charley Lease, son of the Colonel, held the office of "assistant matron" for the deaf and dumb asylum at Olathe. The school was not in session, and no assistant matron" was needed, but Mrs. Lease worked the game to give him spending money. This seems to be one on the Colonel.-Atchison Globe.
Also one on Charley and one for Pope.
ONE of the best means for culture that can be found in college life is that of social intercourse. The refining influence that comes from the study of ancient literature and from association with the great minds of the present, is very important; the mental drill afforded by mathematics, and the precision acquired by scientific research, are also of great value, but none of these things afford the ease and grace of manners and conversation that polite society justly demands. It is only by actual contact with each other in society that this desirable elegance of action is obtained.-The Farlhamite.
We trust that the students will realize that if we are to have a good ball team at K. U. they must give the men support. This thing of sitting in your room Saturday afternoons when you should be out helping the team win is certainly deplorable. If you have any pride for your University in you, come out and show it. The team will play against the Kansas City team on the 11th This is probably the strongest team in the west, and we cannot expect to win. It will be a good game however and one that you cannot afford to miss. Come out all of you and help the boys put up a good game. Why not organize class teams and have a series of class games. These games could be played Saturday mornings. Interest can be easily worked up if the energetic men in the different classes take hold of the affair and push it. This would tend to bring out class feeling and also stir up an interest in base-ball in the University.
