were all from Kansas and had the peculiarities common to Kansans, but here are gathered young men from every state in the Union. From Maine comes the hard working, puritanical young man with a look of firmness and determination written in every muscle of his face. From Boston comes the young man of culture who despises the common herd. But this spirit does not last long, or the young man does not stay long, one of the two. Then there is the generous Virginian; the fiery Georgian; the lazy Freshman from Louisiana; from Posey county, Indiana, comes the young man who never saw a pair of cuffs, and who blacks his shoes with tallow and takes snuff. But why enumerate, when every class and kind imaginable can be found here.
Kansas has had several graduates, chief among them being Mr. Sebray Smith, of Valley Falls, who graduated in 1886, and now occupies a very important position in the civil engineering corpse, and is situated near Washington, and Mr. Kuhn, of Leavenworth, who graduated in '85 at the head of his class. Mr. Kuhn's average was one of the best ever made here. Kansas has but two representatives here now, and both are old K. S. U. students—McAlexander, who is a member of the 4th class, and yours truly. McAlexander will be remembered by students who attended in '82-83. Two men from Kansas failed at the entrance examination in September.

For the benefit of my friend Vic Linley, I will give the states that the leading men in each class are from, in order to show him that all the brains in the country are not lodged in southern heads. Pennsylvania headed the list in '87, and of the first ten men in the class she furnished three. She has the reputation of furnishing better men than any other state in the Union. Pennsylvania also heads the class of '87. '88, I will have to admit, is led by a South Carolinian, but California comes second. '89 is led by Massachusetts, with Illinois second. If I could have Vic here for a few hours, I could also show him that all the pretty women don't live in Kentucky.
Talking about pretty girls reminds me that several cadets are struck on Lawrence girls through their pictures. There is a tall, handsome young man from New York all broke up on Miss ___, but perhaps I hadn't better give it away. But when they saw the pictures of the I. C. girls about a dozen cadets were going to resign and start for K. S. U. at once. As one of the Michigan boys says, western beauty beats the eastern every time.
I suppose it would hardly do to pass over the scenery here without a word, but to tell the truth, I am in the same boat with the man from Illinois, who having spent the summer in Switzerland, was asked about the scenery and responded, "Aint no scenery there—too hilly—give me Illinois for scenery, every time." So I say give me Kansas for scenery every time.

One of the first things to learn here is to obey, as we have been told every
day since our arrival. Obey every body and everything that is over you, and the matter of rank is a very hard one to understand at first. Lowest on the list are the 4th class men, then the gutter sweepers, and then the 3rd class men, etc. It is a matter of grave offense for a 4th class man to pass any of the above mentioned persons by without saluting. Several men are in light prison now for not saluting the commander's dog. I suppose it is all for the best to have to obey everybody, for as Xenophon said of Cyrus, "He first learned to obey that he might better learn to command."

The Review, our fossilized E. C., appeared last week, under the new management for the first time. As the editorial force is new and inexperienced, we hardly suppose that they want this issue considered as the best they can do. The literary articles are very good, both being productions of members of the faculty. The editorials are like the hits of a poor base ball nine—weak and scattering—but the cultivated wit of our genial friend W. T. Reed seems to gleam forth in them occasionally. In one place the Review makes the statement that the duties of the clerk's office have not always been conducted with justice and impartiality. It is but a few months since the chancellor himself said under his signature in the columns of the Courier that justice to the clerk compelled him to say that the office had been conducted in strict accordance with the rules laid down by the faculty. After all this there seems no necessity for the Review to make such breaks, but then, some people never will believe anybody. The Review's opinions, of course, don't amount to anything, but we dislike to see misstatements thrown upon the public. The local and personal departments of the Review are rather stale, consisting mostly of items which have been published before in the last four or five issues of the Courier. Come, brace up, Review.
I Have Noticed.
That the shortest route to honor is along the road of humility.
That a man does not appear half so smart after he joins your rival fraternity.
That the man who is always trying to tear down the reputation of successful students, is generally unsuccessful.
That one has to know a great deal about a subject before he is willing to keep quiet while others talk.
That the "Knocker" which appears in Grecian history is very much like the one used by our Colonial Fathers.
That the student who has the loudest voice in the corridors can hardly be heard in the class room.
That the professional jokes are amusing the freshmen just as they amused us four years ago.
That the fellow who is always having sport at the expense of others.
That it is an easy matter to slip down on a muddy crossing; but it is hard to see what the by-standers are laughing about.
That those who laugh at sentiments because they are old, can seldom tell accurately or intelligently what those sentiments are.
The *Tribune* says "Some wicked, misguided youth rang a chestnut bell on the chancellor's speech last Friday." Jep Davis says he can lick the man that called him a "wicked, misguided youth."
That the student who can afford to attend the theater three times in the week, is a poor person to lend to.
