THE UNIVERSITY COURIER.
find that we have failed miserably in our purpose. We were given to understand that a combination of the two papers in the University was not only desired, but that it had become a necessity. We acquiesced to the wish of the merchants and faculty, suspending publication so that we might affect a combination at once The hopes that we cherished, that a paper for the University might grow up on the ashes of the old, are dead. We made advances to the "parties in power" of the opposition paper and we were not recognized. Of course, we could become subscribers of the Journal but we could not be represented on the staff of the paper. We were given to understand that a combination should not and would not be effected. We are therefore before you again, and we wish to assure you that we are here to stay.
The college pin question as it now stands is very unsatisfactory to a large majority of the students. The adoption of a pin or emblem came up for consideration during the first part of the year, and a prize of five dollars was offered for the best design. There were many designs submitted and placed on exhibition, some of them extremely crude, many mediocre, while several were worthy of consideration and really worth adopting. Among the latter were a variety of penants which were universally favored. A meeting was called by the Chancellor to choose the best design. The meeting was not well attended and should have been postponed. The omnipresent politician was there, however, so when a committee was elected, the matters was quietly done as per Mr. Politician and his slate. As a result the committee adopted as the college emblem a sunflower with a crimson center bearing the initials K U. in blue and gold respectively. The almost unanimously favored pennant being discarded. The University has but one color—crimson. The old corn and blue have been discarded, and it was hoped the sore heads had gone too. Nine-tenths of the studentrs favor a pennant and refuse to wear the design which has been forced on them. A mass meeting should be called and the pennant substituted in place of the inartistic campaign badge adopted.
