EXCHANGES.
The day of college prayers was appropriately observed at Princeton and Ohio Wesleyan.
Our guess: C. of E., Washburn, Baker, Salina, Normal, Windeld, Ottawa, K. U.—College Life.
Just wait until after the contest dear Life, and you'll find that Life is a delusion and a snare.
The Baker Beacon announces that the degree of Doctor of Philosophy has been conferred upon President Quayle by Alleghany college.
The custom of giving numerical grades will soon be abolished at Columbia College. The student's work will be reported as excellent, good, fair, poor or a failure.
There are five hundred and thirty lady students at the University of Michigan, and in spite of this appalling fact two bachelors have been known to escape from the institution.—College Life.
An exchange says: "The Congregational clergymen at New Hayen have asked President Dwight of Yale to put a stop to betting and gambling at the University." The Lawrence clergymen don't have to ask this of our faculty.
Many colleges are now discussing their annuals which will be out soon. Some, we are sorry to note, are delayed by fraternity combinations in selecting editors, but most all expect to have the very finest to be had—Buchtelite. Yes, and K U. will lead.
Certain changes in the method of scoring in foot ball are being discussed. It is proposed to abolish the place kick altogether. The Philadelphia Press suggests the following: Safety, 1 point; goal from field, 3 points: touchdown, 5 points; and goal from touchdown (if not abolished), half a point. —Exchange.
One morning not long ago, the Senior class of Parson's College, Fairmount, Ia., entered chapel attired in Oxford gowns and mortar boards. Upon repeating this performance the next day, they were shocked to see the Juniors enter arrayed in last year's campaign suits consisting of red capes and helmets. Then the Freshmen entered wearing mother-hub-bards. Later in the day the Seniors tore the dresses from some of the lower classmen. This aroused ill feeling, and the Freshmen declare that they will tear the gowns from the Seniors if they ever get a chance. Trouble is feared.
Selenite Crystals.
During last year the largest and finest crystals of Selente ever found, were dis covered in a cave in a Utah desert, far away from civilization. The caye is in a region never before traversed by man. In order to obtain the crystals it was necessary to go on a several days journey into the wilderness with pack mules and transport the crystals by this means to Salt Lake City.
Some of these crystals have come into the possession of Professor Foote, of Philadelphia, and he is now offering them for sale at a high price. The chemical department has been so fortunate as to secure two of the finest specimens gratis. The larger one is two feet six inches long, six inches in diameter, and very pure. The other is a cluster of very fine crystals weighing perhaps twenty-five pounds.
These crystals were obtained through the kindness of Dr. G. E. Talmage. Curator of the Deseret museum, Salt Lake City, and a former student of Professor Bailey. Accompanying the crystals are photographs showing the appearance of the region in which they were found.
Hon. Frank H. Betton talked before the Seminary last Friday on The Eight Hour Law. The Kansas law of 1891 was discussed and Mr. Betton showed that it was almost a dead letter, especially in its application to city-and country work. Not even all the state institutions complied with the law. There is a more intelligent action on the part of the laborer in pressing his needs and a broader spirit in discussing the labor problem in relation to capital. After the talk some time was spent in discussion.
KODAK SHOTS
CO-EDUCATION.
Both bth and lase
In the botany class
Should now improve the hours,
For when the Prof.
Shall send them off
Thro' springtime glasses and bowers
They'll bid defiance
To every science
And forget about the flowers.
And forget about the f Chorus of groans.
Mr. Cook will get third place or higher in the state contest.
Don't make any remark about the Kodak Shots using the dry plate system.
Second B. C. Kicker: And it tastes as if it had been cooked in its earlier days.
First Boarding Club Kicker: This chicken looks as if it were ten years old.
A strong Y. M. C. A., like those in the eastern colleges, would bring more students to the University than ten new societies of a social nature.
The student with his spring suit and patent leathers, strange to say, has not yet appeared on the ice scene. He is watching the weather report, however
Eleyen dollars worth of thanks will be the reward paid to the person who appropriated the platinum crucible from the southwest labratory—when he returns it.
Thought and composition counts for one-half. The University naturally exceeds in these, and to head the University with three ones, means a straight lead in the state contest.
Did you ever notice the word "Push" on the doors leading into the library reading room? It was put there for an incentive to every student going in or out. It is the motto of the University. Adopt it for your own.
The University felt embarrassed in having her picture taken. But such things have to be submitted to; and so she washed her face, put on a soapy, sanctified expression and endured the chestnuts of the occasion, like the lovely heroine she is.
Prof. S. C, McNeil, assistant superintendent of the Kansas City public schools, a member of the ex-students association, is one of the warmest friends of the University. He once passed the examinations to enter the senior class but was called to his present position before entering a recitation. He is a K. U. man just the same.
Visitors to the World's Fair will associate the name of Kansas with jungles and untamed wildernesses if Prof. Dyche's animals are the only representatives of the state there. The legislature should make an appropriation for the Fair.
If every student would speak or write to his senator or representative at Topeka urging the needs of the University, the appropriation would be forthcoming. When the people begin to lobby there is no opposition, and we are the people.
