ITS, 11 Floors, Kansas City EDITOR VIEWS:—There has been considerable discussion lately about the establishment of a military department at the University. As I happen to know some facts relating to its establishment and maintenance in other schools, I will give them, thinking that perhaps some of your readers will be interested. I select the following from Section 1225, Revised Statutes: "The president may, upon application of any established college or University within the United States, having capacity to educate at the same time not less than one hundred and fifty male students, detail an officer of the army to act as president, superintendent or professor thereof. But the number of officers so detailed shall not exceed thirty at any one time, and they shall be apportioned throughout the United States as may be practicable, according to population." Thus the president is able to ap. point an officer to take charge of the department, and all it needs is a little pushing. The department could not be made a success without an officer in charge, and he must be appointed through the president. The government will furnish 3-inch rifled guns with carriages and limbers, and all accoutrements. Also 150 Springfield cadet rifles, calibre 45, and attachments, and a yearly allowance of ammunition is provided. The institution must give a bond double the value of the property for the care and safe keeping thereof, and for the return of the same when required. The bond required would therefore be $9,590.90. Question: Will the reagents do this? L. K. Z. EDITOR VIEWS: Now that the examinations are over it is a good time to consider the studies we have been taking and are about to take. In a State institution of no more wealth nor standing than this, the aim should be simply to fit the students as much as possible for the lives they are to lead. Since it is impossible in the four years of college life to study everything, a student should become thoroughly acquainted with those which he chooses as being most suitable for him. Is this the case in our institution? Every student, whether he is to be a lawyer, preacher or farmer, is compelled, at the expense of other studies, to worry through such special studies as botany, chemistry and zoology. Many a student leaves Latin knowing nothing about it; leaves German with but a few weeks study, soon to be entirely forgotten in order to obtain a smattering, for example, of zoology, so indispensable to the daily pursuits of life. Let special students study everything that comes in their line, but why compel a person who intends to become a minister of the gospel to toil among old fossils, bugs and the intestines of a cat? The question is simply this: "Is it better to acquire a slight smattering of every study known to the civilized world, or to master those studies which are both of practical benefit and suited for mental training?" When our institution can slough off and rise above its cranny and fanatical rules, when it shall widen out to the breadth of its purpose, then and not till then can it accomplish its aim as an institution of learning. R. NOTES. Boys, patronize Winchell. Cossey's is the place for pleasure. Nice place for oysters.-Pershall's. If you want to be "solid" with your girl go to Rowe's with a dollar silver piece and get one of those tony bangles. If you want anything that no one else has in stock J. S. Hand will order promptly, The first class place in the city for oysters is Porshall's. "I must shake off this bad habit," said a tramp as he gazed at his tattered coat. C. S. Duncan pays cash for sec nd hand- University books. Take your girl to Pershall for oysters, the only first class place in the city. Go to Winechell's for Havannas. Go to Cosley's skating rink, best in the city. A haughty shatter so far, With artistically banged anburn hair, Sat right down on her nose, Which experts say were ten cents a pair. Which experts say were ten cents a pair. "Coupons" at Winchell's. For text books and school supplies go to J. S. Hand & Co. Of all the funny things in this funny world of ours, the funny attempts to be funny of the funny editors of the funny college papers is the funniest. —Illini. C. S. Duncan sells and exchanges second hand University books. Moak's for all styles of cigarettes. Dandy, dandy dancing shoes at Boyd's. The volumes now ready are as follows: John Quincy Adams, Alexander Hamilton, John C. Callion, Andrew Jackson, John Randolph, James Monroe, Thomas Jefferson, Daniel Webster, Albert Gallatin, James Madison, John Adams. Each volume is complete in itself, 16 mo., gift top, price $1.25. J. B. Shane gives students a rate of $3.00 for photographs, cabinet size, and $1.25 card size. If you want a jolly time go to Cosley's skating rink. Go to Moak's for 10c DeMolay cigars. A bachelor, upon reading that "two lovers would sit up all night with only one chair in the room," said it could not be done unless one of them sat on the floor. Such ignorance is painful. The Turkish bath house, on Vermont street, under the proprietorship of Mrs. Hoopes, should be well patronized. Under discouraging circumstances she is supporting it in a way which would be a credit to a much larger place. G. H. Winchell's for cigars. Photographs only $3.00 per dozen to students at Shane's. Mongram 5 "centers" at Moak's. J. B. Shane has done some highly artistic work in the photograph line for several students in the last week. Give him a call before going elsewhere. . "You are not like autumn," she sighed, as the persistent lover sat out the hours. "Why, my dearest?" he inquired, with a fond and foolish expression. "Because autumn leaves, but you never do." We are in receipt of a volume of Houghton, Mifflin & Co.'s, Boston, Mass., series of American Statesmen, "John Adams." The series is under the editorship of John T. Morse, Jr., and by the best literary talent of the country. Fourteen volumes are now complete. The object of the series seems not merely to give a number of unconnected narratives of men in American political life, but to produce books which shall, when taken together, indicate the lines of political thought and development in American history—books embodying in compact form the result of extensive study of the many and diverse influences which have combined to shape the political history of our country.
