STUDENTS VIEWS.
Several times during and since the sequel I have heard students ask: "Where can I get some Unitarian literature?" "What do Unitarians believe," and other similar questions. There seems to be a growing desire to know more of this peculiar doctrine which has evidently "come west to grow up with the country." Such questions naturally lead me to recall my own experience. Being a new student at K. S. U., and having heard the name Unitarian for the first time, my curiosity was aroused to know something about it. Straying into the library while in this state of mind, I noticed one department labeled "Theology." Here I thought could be found what I wanted, so I began to search. I found a liberal supply of "The Church Fathers," Joseph Cooke's "Sermons" and "Lectures," and various other books of similar character, which looked as if they had just come from the book store, but not one word about Unitarianism. Had it been a private library, or one belonging to a sectarian school, I should not have been surprised at this, but in a state institution which is supposed to be built and run upon a strictly non-sectarian basis, this seemed somewhat strange to me.
I next began to question one of the students, and was promptly told that if I wanted to be thought anything of I must not have anything to do with them; that they were worse than indulges. My next move was to find out where they held their meetings, and see for myself what kind of beings these rare and strange people were. The result was eminently satisfactory, and quite different from the conversation I had just held would lead me to expect. Such, Mr. Editor, was my experience, and I presume there are others who have met with the same perplexities on this subject that I have; and this is why I was glad to hear Dr. Howland announce that he would begin a series of doctrinal lectures next Sunday night. This will give those interested an opportunity to hear and judge for themselves. There seems to be an indifference about the study of this, as well as other public questions, and I for one would be glad to see the students take a deeper interest in them. The ideas we get while here at the University will without doubt go far toward shaping our future lives and usefulness, and consequently the foundations ought to be broad and liberal. A careful study of such questions will hurt no one, and I does seem to me that the indifference on the part of students is a great mis take.
STUDENT
One of the most foolish things a student can do is to kick up a muss whenever the papers get off a joke on him. Last week I noticed one of the pious Nobbs pacing the halls and demanding the "man who writ that piece" about his fraternity. He even went so far as to use language which the rules of his fraternity forbid. His language in print would resemble this: — — of — — to —. The man who would get mad at a little thing like that, is an idiot and a crank, and one of the first things he should learn is to hold his temper and his tongue. I hope my Sophomore friend will heed my suggestions and act like a man instead of a baby.

How Long?
week has already consigned it, and essay to bring it to the notice of the students, and especially of those most interested. To the serious consideration of the latter I cordially comment it. Right here I beg leave to say that I am myself an upper classman, but I sincerely hope that this fact will not militate against the fairness of what I desire to say, or invalidate its justice. On the very face of the matter, it will be admitted as incontrovertable that as the student rises in the scale of college life, his capacity to decide with sagacity upon what conduces to his best interests increases. It is true that the importance of the studies to be selected, increases with the advance. But it does not invalidate my proposition that the higher he goes, the more capable the student becomes to decide for himself. Tastes which were in their incipient when he entered school have been developed. And by the time he gets to be an upper classman he knows his capabilities, preferences or dislikes, if he ever will. This is tacitly recognized by our faculties in the matter of electoral studies. But here it stops, and here I take issue. The privilege of choosing, to a large extent, his studies for his Junior and Senior years, implies that he will choose to the limit of power, those studies only in which he is especially interested, or to which he is peculiarly attracted. This admitted, it stands to reason that if the student selects only those studies for which he has especial preference, he will in the very nature of things attend the recitations in these attractive studies with punctuality and faithfulness. As it is, however, the upper class-men are compelled by stringent regulations on the part of the professors, to attend recitations to which they are not naturally attracted. They are thus placed upon the same level with the lower class-men, and all others who lack the ability to decide upon matters vital to their interests. Their advanced position secures them no immunity from the petty restraints and regulations which are necessary for the proper control and guidance of those who need such supervision. But it is not alone in the matter of compulsory attendance on recitations that this unsavory restraint is exercised. We are not only granted not even the tacit assumption that as persons of honor and scrupe we would attend voluntarily and faithfully recitations in studies in which we were especially interested; but at the completion of every study we must undergo the farce of an examination—a force which only needs its own disagreecability to save it from downfall childishness. As was well remarked by some one recently in touching this subject, any professor who can not tell whe her a student is competent to go on or not is not worthy the name. Of course I mean a professor who has charge of upper class-men, where the classes are very considerably smaller than in the case of the lower classes, and where on this account, the relations between professor and student partake of a much more intimate nature. If a professor can not determine the mental ability of a student from a daily recitation from each individual student, he had better resign his position. Let these two flabagant abuses be reformed, and then will it be a source of honor to attain the lofty dignity of a Junior or a Senior.
Some time ago I noticed a suggestion bearing on the matter of the comparative privileges of the upper and lower class men. It was good seed, and I am loth that it should fall on sterile soil. I therefore rescue it from the oblivion to which one short
