WE TRUST it may not be necessary to harp all year on the subject of athletics, but it does seem that some of our students are determined to neglect this most essential part of their college work. It is just as necessary for a student to exercise as it is for him to eat and sleep. We have the material for a good foot-ball team, the question is whether they will give an hour each evening for practice. This material should be used to maintain our position in athletics. Colleges and universities at the present day are judged, and rightly too, by the interest manifested in college sports.
THE REVIEW again launches forth with its customary greeting to the new and welcome to the old student; but in a different garb and under different circumstances. It has been thought expedient and feasible by a majority of those interested in the Courier and Review to combine the two, as stated in the last issue. Thus save expense to advertisers and subscribers, and satisfy a long-felt want by publishing a paper that will redound more to the honor of the Institution which it represents. The third number of each month will attempt
to fill the place of the monthly, hitherto known as the REVIEW, and will meet the requirements for which the REVIEW was established seventeen years ago; the publication of articles of extra literary merit. From this object the present management does not expect to deviate, but in order to accomplish the purpose we must have the constant aid and sympathy of the entire University. Our success depends upon our patronage. The columns are open to every student and we trust the opportunity will not be neglected.
It is the custom of nearly every college to have a class poet, a class orator, and often a class prophet. These tend to a certain extent to organize class spirit, besides giving a chance to show what ability in literary lines are to be found in the different classes. Attention to this fact has been called by the publication of class poems and orations in our exchanges. K.U. certainly has her share of ability in these lines; why not develop them and elect class poets and orators.
Law Department.
The Law Department is now very pleasantly located in the north end of the first floor of the main building. The quarters formerly occupied by the library.
The east room is used for a lecture room and the recitations are held there. In the north room is the law library, while the west room is fitted up with the tables formerly used in the library and reading room.
At present the Seniors are taking Bigelow on Torts under Hon. S.A.Riggs of Lawrence, and in addition are hearing lectures by Judge Dobson of Kansas City on Corporations.
Under the instruction of Judge Green the Juniors are reading Lawson on Contracts. About the first of November they will begin constitutional law under Judge Humphrey of Junction City.
Prof. Green is much better satisfied with the present quarters than he was last year at North College and this arrangement is far more satisfactory to the students.
