A Needed Reform.
The attempt to break up the Senior social last Saturday night is another evidence of a much needed college reform. There is, of course, no doubt that the disturbers were prompted by a spirit of thoughtless practical joking rather than by any ill feeling toward the Seniors; but that does not make the matter right. It is equally as wrong for one class to disturb a gathering of another class as it would be for the members of one church to break up a social held by the members of another church. The practice is a relic of the middle ages, when it was found necessary to prohibit students from spending more time in carousing than they spent in studying, and as long as it is continued a proper social spirit can not be cultivated in colleges, however desirable this may be. Would it not be well for the students of K. U. to set the example of behaving as well toward each other in college as they do outside? The example might do much good.
Our Student.
Climbing the hill in the morning bright. Leaving the hill in the fading light. Going and coming in winter's cold. And yet when the buds of spring unfold. Such is student's life.
Entering school with a mind untrained. Studying books for their wisdom famed. Learning at last how little he knows. Into the great cold world he goes.
Thus ends his student life.
