The stock of the STUDENT's JOURNAL company consists of non-transferable one dollar shares. Any student instructor or employee of the University may hold one and only one share.
We believe we have reason to feel proud of the new form in which we appear this week, and we hope that all interested in Kansas University will feel proud of us and exert themselves to help maintain a paper which will represent the University creditably in all ways. We have long contemplated this change and believe that now the students and faculty fully appreciate the necessity of having a creditable form as well as creditable matter for this representative of the University.
THE special meeting of the Review company held last week adds another appropriate chapter to the history of a company which has furnished the opportunity for the most corrupt and dishonest political practices imaginable. That the meeting last week

This should be sufficient evidence, but every one, who is acquainted with the notorious fraudulent transfers made on the books often by persons not officers of the company—recognizes that the avidence of the books weighs for nothing against such transfer as that held by Mr. Bishoff. We might point out several misleading statements in
