EDITOR VIEWS. Will you allow me to ask a question? There are now some nine fraternities in college, with a few back counties to hear from. Is it not an honor not to belong to a frat? BARB.
EDITOR VIEWS:—"We have met the enemy and they are ours." We have received a handsome appropriation of $50,000, and have added a chair of pharmacy to our institution, thanks to the legislature. But there is another question that has come to the mind of many of our students, and that is the establishment of a medical school. The old University will soon be vacant, as the asylum will be moved to Winfield before the next session commences, and without irreverence to the medics in wishing them to occupy an asylum for "weak minded children." it is the unanimous opinion that the old building should be used for a medical school. The building belongs to the State for educational purposes, and was taken from the University several years ago and a lot of idiots put in there who certainly had no right there. Now that they will soon be out the regents should see that it is not again usurped for any such purpose. The best way to hold it is to put some department into it, and it could not be used for any purpose as well as for a medical school. There it will be remote from the other buildings, as it properly should be, and so neither will in any way be disturbed by the other. With only a few partitions in some of the rooms it could be fitted up so that it would fill all the demands for such an institution for years to come. From among the physicians we have in Lawrence a very creditable faculty could be established, and they could be paid mainly from the matriculation fees of the students. All the medical schools around us are filled with Kansas students, who by necessity are driven away from home for such education, and Kansas owes it to her citizens that such a school should be established. We could pattern after Ann Arbor in regard to 'clinics;' for although that city has only about 6,000 inhabitants, they have enough clinical material to supply the necessary of the students, and every one knows the standing of their medical school. Their method could be used in Lawrence very successfully and without much expense. In fact, the expense of the entire department would be but trifling, and this would mostly be covered by the matriculation fees of the students.
Kansas is the only state of any importance that has not a medical college, and our regents should not let other states eclipse her in this respect.
"MEDIC."
EDITOR VIEWS: —From what I can gather, the members of the faculty generally desire the sustenance of at least a chair of pedagogy in our institution. They seem to be almost unanimous in this. Teaching is, and becoming the more so, one of the most respected and honorable callings in our present line of commercial relations. The desire and demand for a better class of school teachers is the strongest made to-day in any of the professions. The advantages here for the training of these is unexcelled. The moment a student enters here he
has the advantage of a view of the advantages of a higher education. He meets in the same classes the ablest students of the higher classes. He gains higher, broader views of what an education is. At present the sustenance of the Normal course in some form is from a financial point desirable, even on this point. Let the Normal be sustained. L.
Editor Views :—The writer recently heard the remark that elections, such as that held in Oread last Friday were injurious to the student and detrimental to the college. There can be no doubt that students neglect studies and classes to a considerable extent, but in my opinion the benefit derived from such elections greatly outweigh their evils.
For example, Oread was never in so flourishing a condition as it is today, with bright prospects financially and a list of ninety-seven active members. The excitement of an election in a society must necessarily excite more interest in literary work, since it brings vividly before the aspiring members the fact that in order to ever obtain honors themselves they must not shrink their part of the program, but must faithfully discharge their duties.
Then again, the very existence of a society depends upon its entertainments. It is perhaps safe to say that out of every ten who join a literary society nine do so with the hope of at some time representing it in a public exhibition. If there are entertainments there must be elections. Then let these elections occur. The more bitter the fight, the more glorious the victory, and the better the results to the society.
But the objection has been made that these elections develop schemers and politicians. If for no other reason than this they should be continued always. Our college in its prosperity should not take a backward step and refuse to thoroughly educate men for one of the grandest professions.
EDITOR VIEWS: We will please allow me to "remark a few remarks."
I suppose that in the course of a year or two the new natural history building about which we are congratulating ourselves, will be erected and occupied. In eastern colleges it is the custom to dedicate the various buildings to the endower or some friend of the institution. Can we, ought we not do as well? Of course the first is impossible; but if I am not mistaken, there is a name which we would all delight in honoring in some substantial manner—a name which was connected with the University for many years—and which is still in the hearts of the students. I presume it is hardly necessary for me to write the name of Dr. MARVIN. What would be more appropriate than to have our new building stand as a monument to the man whose labors, influence and example, we sincerely appreciate?
I move,Mr. Editor,that the students,by acclamation,request the proper authorities to let the natural history building be known as MARVIN HALL.
Who will second the motion?
JUSTICE.
Our Jollification.
Our Jonhication. The unbounded pleasure with which the students received the news that the legislature had granted the appropriations recommended by the Board of Regents was practically demonstrated on last Friday evening. About two hundred persons ranging from Junior Prep to ex-graduates, including some members of the faculty, assembled early in the evening at the corner of Lee and Tennessee streets.
At that place organization was completed, and the following persons were unanimously chosen to fill the places of honor: W. C. Spangler, Chief of Division and Master of Ceremonies; H. A. McLean and E. F. Caldwell, Orderlies; John Sullivan, Torch-bearer. Every thing being ready, orders were received to form in line, two and two, and march to the residence of Chancellor Lippincott, the Drum Corps of twelve pieces leading the way. Cheering was the order of the evening. All formed in a semi-circle around the front steps of the Chancellor's residence and gave three rousing cheers for the University, Chancellor and Prof. Spring; then the musical director stepped to the front and sang five verses of "Marching Through Georgia," the crowd joining in the chorus at the end of each verse. Appropriate speeches were then listened to from the Chancellor and Prof. Spring, who had made their appearance upon the porch during the serenade. Order again being restored, the whole column moved to the foot of the hill opposite Prof. Nichols, where three cheers were given for the Professor. It was here announced by the Chief that all should march immediately to the residence of Prof. Snow, and when the fife began to play and the drum began to beat, every noble youth fell in rank and marked the time with accurate step. The Professor was equal to the occasion in every respect. After the boys were through cheering, he stepped out and saying "Three cheers for the boys," waived his hat and cheered with all the vigor of early youth. Four persons selected for the purpose then seized the Professor and carried him to the corner of Massachusetts and Henry streets, where a platform had been erected; here S. A. Riggs. Mr. Rankin and Mr. Leis, together with a number of the Professors, were seated before a large audience of students and citizens. The meeting was opened by electing Hon. Milt Reynolds chairman of the evening. He made an eloquent and appropriate speech, giving a short history of the University and relating some of his own experiences while a member of the Board of Regents. He then announced the name of Prof. Snow, who, he said, "is a little man, but tonight he is the biggest man in all Lawrence." The Professor responded briefly, and in the course of his remarks said: "The first year I was connected with the University seventy per cent, of her students were residents of Lawrence. Since then the per cent, has decreased to sixty, fifty, thirty, and finally it stands now at about fourteen per cent. of resident students. This goes to show that we are fostering a state institution, and
has been blotted out of existence. It is now THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, and we are proud of it." He congratulated the state for the interest it takes in educational matters. He gratefully acknowledged the co-operation of the students, alumni, citizens and press in the work of obtaining appropriations. The chairman next introduced Hon. S. A. Riggs. Everybody knows that that gentleman is a faithful friend to the University, and has never refused assistance when called upon. He said it was a pleasure to him to do all in his power for her, and looked upon it as a duty as well to lend his efforts to maintain her welfare. Speeches were then made by Mr. Rankin, Professors Bailey, Robinson, Spring, Dyche and Mr. Leis. At the close of every speech loud cheers arose from the crowd. When voices became weak tin horns were substituted. At ten o'clock all formed a line and marched south to Berkley street, where ranks were broken and each marched to his home.
Chancellor Lippincott was then introduced. He spoke very earnestly, maintaining "that there is no such a thing as a Lawrence University. It
It is not often that the students make an expression of this kind, but everyone, without a single exception, was greatly rejoiced over the recent success in getting the appropriation for a Natural History building, and made their demonstrations as above. It shows that whatever goes to the building up of the University is highly appreciated by the students and by he large number of citizens in the state whom they represent.
Robert Burdette.
Hon. Robert Burdette, one of America's greatest humorists, will lecture at the Opera House next Wednesday night, March 18th.
The largest and best stock of clothing in the city is at Urbansky's.
Mr. Burdette for a number of years was connected with the Burlington (Iowa) Hawkeye, making that paper the most brilliant one in the west, but his success as a humorist and the demand of the public for him as a lecturer led him to give up newspaper work and enter the lecture field. He will deliver one of his most popular lectures on this occasion, and we hope that he will receive a cordial welcome at the hands of students and citizens.
Fifteen cabinet photos for three dollars at Hamilton's.
Right now is the time to have your photos taken, and avoid the rush of commencement work. Hamilton guarantees his pictures, and makes the low rate to students of fifteen cabinets for three dollars.
Hamilton has made the best rates to students ever offered—fifteen cabinets for three dollars.
Read! Photography!!
The first of the year it was given out by the "ring" photographers of the city that they would give no "cut" rates to students as has been the usual custom years heretofore. Capt' J. B. Shane, however, the students' friend, said he could afford, considering the great amount thereof, to give the inducement of a special rate thereon. He accordingly tendered a rate of three dollars per dozen for cabinet size photos. Some of the other galleries, however, never have cut down to this rate. He says he does not care, however, if they do get some of the work, it was he who was their friend and benefactor in the matter.
Caesar crossed the Rubicon, the die was cast, Rome fell; so do the rates on photos at Hamilton's; fifteen cabinets for three dollars.
