With this issue the present staff of the STUDENTS JOURNAL completes the task which, in compliance with the wish of the stockholders of the company, it undertook at the beginning of the University year. in September. In performing this task of managing the STUDENTS JOURNAL the staff has not expected to suit all persons interested in the paper; it would be impossible to do that. It has, however, endeavored to take, in every case, that course which at the time seemed conducive to the good of Kansas University and the students. In obtaining reports of occurrences at the University the staff has made an especial effort to get the exact facts and publish them free from any partizan bias. If a show of factional feeling has at any time been made, the provocation of unfair treatment should be considered before judgment is rendered. In this connection the words of an alumnus may be quoted: "The STUDENTS JOURNAL is fast acquiring the name—if it had it not long ago—of the only reliable K. U. paper." In short, the staff has sought to advocate the right, oppose the wrong, and make the
STUDENTS JOURNAL as reliable, and interesting a paper as the time and money at its disposal permitted. In the new staff which begins its work with the next issue, the STUDENTS JOURNAL has a management of ability, and integrity. The retiring staff bespeaks for the incoming one as hearty and faithful support from the stockholders as it has received.
In some of the neighboring states arrangements have been made to have the legislatures visit the state universities. This is an excellent plan and might well be pursued in Kansas. It would give the legislature direct personal knowledge of the condition, work, and needs of this school. Of course it would not take the place of official reports of the condition of the University, but it would supplement such reports. Nothing is so convincing as personal and—if possible-optical proofs of the needs of an institution. These are furnished in abundance to any visitor who makes a careful inspection of the University with that end in view.
