THE STUDENTS JOURNAL.
11
H. C. Riggs, 193, who is teaching at Beloit, spent a part of the vacation in Lawrence.
On Tuesday evening Professor Blackmar began a course of University extension lectures on political economy, in Leavenworth. Leavenworth appreciates the courses offered by the University. This is the second course that has been given there this year.
During the vacation the University has established a telephone exchange of its own. The stations are Snow Hall, Chemistry Building, Spooner Library, Boiler House and Treasurer's Office. The Office is the central station and there connection can be made with the city system.
The new Library and Agricultural Science Hall of the State Agricultural College was dedicated on the 28th ult. The dedicatory exercises were directed by the Kansas Academy of Science. At the banquet toasts were responded to by Chancellor Snow and Professors Sayre and Williston.
On the 28th ult. at the meeting of the State Teachers' Association in Topeka, Professor Templin read a paper on Unworthy Incentives to Scholarship and Right Conduct. Professor Hopkins presented a paper embodying the report of the committee on English. The University will issue this paper in pamphlet form.
Spalding's Athletic Library for December contains the Athletic Almanac, compiled by James E. Sullivan It contains over eighty closely printed pages giving all the English and American amateur records, with a list of American champions and portraits of many of them. This Almanac will be greatly appreciated by all interested in athletics as it gives accurate information upon matters which are often in dispute. American Sports Publishing Co., New York is the publisher.
The Atchison County High School, located at Effingham, has just commenced the publication of a very creditable quarterly. S.J. Hunter, K.U.'93 is principal of this school. The numerous graduates of the University who are teaching in the state are doing excellent work in improving the standard and spirit of education, and in unifying the whole school system of Kansas. Wherever they go they are keenly alive to the advantages of modern, improved, and original methods of education.
University Papers Again.
Notwithstanding the statements made in the Lawrence and Topeka papers lately there has as yet been no combination of the University papers. The STUDENTS JOURNAL is still published regularly, and is in excellent financial condition. The Courier-Review has suspended publication. The Courier-Review-Journal mentioned in the articles in the papers referred to, has no existence except in the minds of a few schemers. It is merely the Courier-Review under a name which they think will enable them to deceive the advertisers: but the business men have been so often deceived by these schemers that they will not easily be misled again.
The STUDENTS JOURNAL is now, as it has been all along, heartily in favor of any fair plan of combination, but it objects to having its name stolen. When the Courier-Review people found that this paper would not accept a proposition giving them an unfair advantage, they ceased to make any endeavor for a combination, and would consider no proposition made by those representing this paper. A prominent member the staff of the late Courier-Review was seen yesterday morning and very urgently requested that the STUDENTS JOURNAL make another proposition for a combination, thus showing that the talk of a Courier-Review Journal is a mere "bluff."
Students read the Capital.
The STUDENTS JOURNAL is now the only University paper. If the business men of Lawrence wish to have only one University paper they will refuse to give support to any new paper.
Extract from a Private Letter from an Alumnus
I hope you will get a good design for a K. U. pin. Don't copy any eastern pin. It was a great mistake to adopt Harvard's color. Harvard has crimson; Chicago, scarlet: Wisconsin, crimson; and several or hers crimsons or scarlets that I don't recall. Don't adopt a pennant, whatever you do. Every school in the East has it.
Attention!
We are pleased to announce that the DAILY CAPITAL will hereafter come into the city on Santa Fe No. 8, at 4:22, and will be delivered promptly before seven o'clock.
