LAWRENCE WORLD, LAWRENCE, KANSAS.
LAST Saturday's game was enough to make one think that our eleven is going to redeem the reputation of K. U. for football by a "Never Defeated" campaign.
The students of the University should endeavor to use only the regular yell of the institution at all athletic games. It is, we must admit, pretty difficult to restrain the natural inclination to give a wild, meaningless whoop when we see our team making commendable plays: but we should restrain it nevertheless, and give instead our grand old "Rock Chalk." The latter is far more encouraging to the players, it is less trying upon the voice, and it means a great deal more. Please bear this in mind at the next game.
DURING the dedicatory banquet in Library Hall Hon Eugene F. Ware remarked that
the portrait of William B. Spooner, which hung at the head of the hall, bore a striking resemblance to the representations of Uncle Sam. Judging from what we know of Mr. Spooner, he had the practical wisdom, the broad philanthropy, the kindly heart which we attribute to our ideal Uncle Sam, and just as we owe the best government upon the earth to Uncle Sam, so also, we owe the best of library buildings to Mr. Spooner. The K. U. student will forget one as soon as the other.
COURIER AND REVIEW matters, as set forth in a notice in the Lawrence Journal, seem to be hopelessly muddled. We published last week an account of the last meeting of the Review company, of which we have been able to learn. Any later meeting must have been a secret affair. The action of the Courier, too, as stated in the above mentioned notice was taken at some meeting of which one of the fraternities interested in that paper had no notice and have no reliable knowledge. The whole affair seems to have been conducted in a most high-handed manner.
KANSAS UNIVERSITY has no cause for complaint this year. There is an increase in the number of students, the new buildings offer improved facilities for work, athletic prospects are bright, and in short everything is prosperous. The conditions here are in marked contrast with those in eastern schools. The letters from members of the faculties of eastern colleges, read by the Chancellor at the banquet, show that those schools are, at best, only holding their own this year and that many of them are suffering from decreased attendance and financial stringency.
ANY school of the rank of this University owes it to its reputation to sustain a good literary monthly The students of Kansas University are by no means lacking in literary ability and will not be backward in writing for a monthly which is conducted in a fair and open manner. Notwithstanding the very unsatisfactory condition in which Review matters have been in the past, that
