The Academica is presumably a funny paper. One of the institutions of the University of Cincinnati is a mock congress, and from reports in the college paper the proceedings seem to be interesting and profitable.
The Indiana Student rejoices over the election of David S. Jordan, the great scientist, to the presidency. We congratulate our sister University upon her good fortune.
If the Sunbeam would give its readers just a little less of the scientific it would be improved. Probably the young things who wield the little lead pencil in Whitby are too busy with the sciences to descend to common things. But they will grow wiser as they grow older. (If they ever do "grow old.")
Universities are not without their trials. The University of New Brunswick was compelled recently to withdraw some members of the faculty from their position, in order to retain its students. Students and professors should co-operate.
The Harvard students are noted for their passion for athletic sports, and the tenderness with which they hold everything tending to its promotion. The Harvard authorities decreed the other day that "Bancroft," not the historian, but the professional gentleman, paid by the University to "coach" the rowing crew, must go—when a wail arose from the students that was indeed pitiful. The friends of the institution now fear that the cause of "education" will be greatly injured.
The Hesperian Student, from Nebraska, seem, to think the Courier motto a joke. Now, it is our private opinion that such a motto would be a good thing for Nebraska State University. The fraternities at your institution may be of that very good variety which never try to run society elections, control college papers and dictate terms to every other college organization. But we have not been so signally fortunate. While all the fraternities here do not try these things, yet it is usually the case.
Two years ago the COURIER was started in answer to a call for justice from the non-fraternity men, and fair play from some fraternity men. A cast-iron constitution prevents any usurpation of power, and guarantees to fraternity and non-fraternity men alike an equal representation in stock and on editorial board. The necessity of such a constitution was shown last spring when only the stringent provisions prevented a complete sell-out of principle for position.
The COURIER staff consists of ten men, five of whom are members of secret societies and five are not. The result of this union has been abundantly justified by the course of events. Frat and barb have stood side by side and worked for the honor of the COURIER and the University. We stand fortified by the support of three-fourths of the students and the respect of all.
The motto on the editorial page:
"Fraternity Rule Must Be Broken," means that the "rule-or-ruin" domination of secret societies is ended in K. S. U. The writer is a fraternity man and believes heartily in the true fraternity idea, but detests seeing that name used as a screen for selfishness. Fair play is what we ask. Fair play is what we will have.
"Be he barb or be he frat,
A man's a man for all of that."

Mr. J. E. Lindsay, the Garnett dude, has again been heard from. He is studying law in his father's office at Garnett. He says "he will finally settle in Hades or Texas."
T. C.—This is a title under which there is a great deal of mystery. So far as our religious editor has been able to ascertain the mystic letters form the name of a secret society which has recently made its debut in society circles. The charter members are: Misses Franc Hunt, Minnie Wakefield, Pearl Young, Cora Henshaw, Mamie Henshaw and Carrie Fisher. The well known talent and ability of these young ladies assures an immediate prominence for T. C. in the University.
From the Herald-Tribune, Hon.
W. F. Chaffant, editor:
We take pleasure in calling the attention of our readers to THE WEEKLY UNIVERSITY COURIER, published in this city by the students of the State University. In its editorial management it evinces a range of thought and ability that would do justice to old and experienced journalists. Typographically it is a beauty. In its business management it is certainly handled with great skill and shrewdness. Recently it has been enlightening the members of the Kansas legislature in reference to the wants of the University, with an eloquence, logic and argument that certainly must have great weight with that body. Long may it live.
Thanks.
Athletic Association!!!
The spring of '84 opened with an extra amount of enthusiasm for athletics. The result was that the above named organization, with duly elected officers and well ratified constitution, came into existence. Nearly $200 was subscribed by the citizens of Lawrence to support the boat club. The base ball and foot ball teams were to have their expenses defrayed by the students of K. S. U. The plan adopted was to issue tickets at $1.00 each, the holder to be admitted upon presentation of his ticket, to all games in inclosed grounds, to be liable for all assessments and share all dividends.
About seventy tickets were disposed of. On the strength of the above the officers of the A. A. authorized the purchase of uniforms for both clubs. This was done. Both teams were a credit to K. S. U., for '84 never witnessed a defeat of either.
The facts are that the A. A. is liable for more than $50, and that the creditors don't seem to be much nearer their money than when the above named articles were purchased. And the good name of K. S. U. A. A. and honor were given as security, which has been sufficient in such matters in the past.
We sincerely hope the officers of said A. A. will call a meeting at the earliest time possible, make full reports and secure the payment of what should have been paid when received.
What is the object of the above?

When you sit in a sleigh
At two dollars an hour,
Or even in a nice buggy,
Would you drive with both hands
And talk of the roads,
And never take one little buggy?
When you sit in the parlor
With her by your side,
And the light shines dim on the ceiling,
Would you laugh the chance
Of stealing a kite,
If you were sure she wouldn't be squealing
From Real Life.
When yen are walking home
quite late in the night,
And as through the park you stray,
Do ye go arm in arm
And never once think
Of showing her some "new way !"
Three boys there are,
Who may speak as they like,
And say "they were never unruly,"
But the malediction, in talking
Gave the whole thing away
As it is written above—to
View
What We Would Like to See.

Prof, in Physics; "Now suppose I should shut my eyes—so—and should not move, you would call me a clod; but I move, I leap, and then what should you call me?"
When once a person has the lead of a class it is easy enough to keep it. The best member of the class constantly receives the approbation and praise of the professor, which is as oil to the flame of his ambition, and makes him work hard to merit the commendation and become worthy of more; the conscious feeling that you are outstripping your competitors and are far ahead of the rest is another strong incentive to work, in order that you may maintain the supremacy. In everything it is much easier to stay in advance than it is to gain the advance.—Bee.
