We would like a bit of information regarding the official title of the gentleman who is forced to apologize for soaring above the intelligence of his readers. We had about come to the conclusion that it was Editor-in-chief of the University Review and Co-Editor of College Life, but there is evidently some connection between him and The Beacon, for which the above title does not account.
We see by the bulletin board the Faculty proposes to take an active part in athletic or at least in base ball. This is highly pleasing as we apprehend much genuine sport with but little tendency toward professionalism will be the outcome. The Seniors are much interested in the probable disposition to be made of the challenge they posted some weeks ago. Are they to be totally ignored? Or are they no longer considered a class of the University. They have learned to appreciate their insignificance, but to have to think themselves no longer under the forstering care of their Alma Moter is indeed hard.
We are much pleased to note the success of the union meeting of Northeastern and Southeastern Teachers Associations held at the University last week. We feel much good has been done in the way of making those interested in the cause of education better acquainted with the different methods of teaching and especially in placing our preparatory instructors in closer touch with the University and its methods. The better prepared a students comes, the better work he can and will do in the University. It takes a student unacquainted with the ways of the University study nearly the half of his Freshman year to get into the proper form to carry on his work to the best of his ability. If the instructors of the preparitory schools are thoroughly acquainted with the University and its work their students should be ready as soon as they come to the "U" to take hold of the work in the University fashion, thus saving them much time and worry and at the same time enabling the University to accomplish much better results.
THE State of New York, with a population four times as large as Kansas, has thirty colleges for men and women, with about 12,000 students, and a large percentage of these students come from other states. Kansas has eighteen colleges with 4,200 students enrolled practically all from within her own borders. The University of Kansas, beginning in 1866 with scarcely a collegiate student and with a very small income, now has a total income of about $80,000 and an enrollement out side its bread-and-butter schools, of 328. Yet, it has only the 1,500,000 people within its borders to draw from, and it is 400 miles removed from the most remote parts of the State. Columbia College is considerable more than a century old. It has an income of $650,000. It has a brilliant faculty. There are 500,000,000 people within 100 miles of it. No institution in the country can count half that number. Yet, with all these advantages of age, wealth, and location, Columbia had enrolled in its deportment of liberal arts last year only 300.-JAMES WILLIS GLEED.
SOMETHING has been radically wrong with the heating apparatus of the University during the past week. The main building has been so cold as to render it exceedingly uncomfortable for students to remain in the class rooms or library. The superintendant evidently thinks "summer has come."
The above cannot fail to be interesting, as showing the educational development of the State and the relative standing of the University.
The action of the Faculty advisory committee modifying their previous report, we think on the whole to be a wise one. In their first report they urged the prohibition of the University teams playing with professional teams at all, while the report in its modified form is as follows: "The advisory committee strongly advises against the arrangements of games either in base ball or foot ball with professional teams, except that such games may be played on the home grounds for purposes of Practice." The proability of securing games with good teams without the promise of a return game at once presents itself. If this can be avoided we see no reason why the advice of the committee is not for the best. At all events we must have games if we expect to maintain a team, and since our location is such as to make it extreemly difficult to arrange games with college teams at all, it seems almost necessary to play with professionals, or semi-professional teams at least. If there is a lack of games for the "varsity" now is the time for plenty of class and Fraternity games and we would strongly urge the formation of an Inter-Fraternity League at once.
THE COURIER urges all those interested in Language and Literature to attend the meeting of the Kansas Academy of Language and Literature to be held at Washburn College to-day and to-morrow. We notice on the program given below many bright and interesting speakers, and subjects benefiting to all, who may here them discussed.
