The December Literary Argo Reporter is a first-class little magazine and a credit to the management.
The Baker papers continue to hash up the Pennant foot ball game with K. S. U The December Index came out in an orange dress.
Poor Co-ed! It has become the fashion for the college poet to address his lines to thee. It certainly must be unpleasant to be so much flattered.
The Christmas number of the Omaha University Monthly Star came to our exchange table this week. It is a bright spice paper and displays true college spirit
There is a rumor abroad that Prof. Wilkinson of the state normal is going to leave that institution. It would be an almost irreparable loss to he normal and the state.—Life.
What a relief it will be to the exchange editors, when the eologies on Whittier and Tennyson and the Columbian day literature have been alred.—Owl. You know it.
The Academy Review Vov. 1 No. 1 from Hiawatha, Kansas, put in its appearance in December. The Review is a neat eight page paper and enters the field under the management of the senior class.
The educational system maintained by the state of Illinois costs about $12,000,000 annually. A little more than $1,000,000 of this is derived from other sources than taxation, so that the tax is about 1.5 per cent on the assessed valuation of the property of the state.—Clipper.
The holiday number of the Drake Delphic contains over a hundred splendid half-tone cuts of its buildings, grounds, faculty, and students holding college offices. The edition is a credit to the management, and had it been printed on a better quality of paper would be very handsome indeed.
The students of Lombard University are hunting up the banner presented by them to Abraham Lincoln in the campaign of 1858. The banner is supposed to be in Kansas—Omaha Star. Kansas is great at gathering historic relies but it is hard to get them away from her when they are once in her clutches.
'Rah! Rah! Rax!
Mamma's chicks!
We'll hatch out in
Ninety six.
This is so applicable to K. U. fresh men that it seems a pity to crect it Truth being the motto, however, we admit it to be one of the discoveries of the exchange editor.
An exchange says: "Among the great men of the world blue eyes have predominated. Socrates, Shakespeare, Locke, Bacon, Milton, Goethe, Franklin, and Napoleon, all the presidents of the United States, except General Harrison, have enjoyed the same cerulean color as to their optics." If this be true there is still some hope for Kelley
As we examine the pages of college journals,we wonder how many exchange editors have secretly adopted this couplet as their motto:
*No brain is racked for thoughts collected here,
Where scissors and paste hold their sharp career. — College Gem
career.
We wonder too.—Argo Reporter.
We wonder also.
We wonder also.
A criticism on its method of paragraphing brings out the following bit of good sense from the Cento: "There was a time when the man who could sit down and write a long winded article was a great editor. That day has passed and the best periodicals of the day are those with short crisp paragraphs that say what there is to say and then stop." Paragraphs are what busy people want.
Our exchanges contain the information that Amherst and Denver universities are trying a new system of government. Instead of the faculty exercising full control, a College senate, comprised of members of the college classes and the faculty, acts upon all questions of impropriety, poor scholarships and whatever business the faculty may submit to it.--McKendree Repository. What is the reason this matter should not be at least discussed at K. S. U.?
The December number of the Nebraskan contains a discussion of the College Annual question by Chancellor Canfield and the editor of that paper. The chancellor edits a column of the paper every month, and in this issue claims that college annuals are not only a failure financially, but that the burden of their support falls upon men who are already spending every cent they should, and who ought not to be called upon to spend more. From a literary point of view Mr. Canfield considers the Annual both a dangerous experiment and an unfair imposition of class spirit upon the studies of the few who are obliged to edit and publish the book. While "it is a good all-round advertisement," the Chancellor considers the Annual an expensive one from whatever side considered. The editor of the Nebraskan with true loyalty to his class and much college spirit, but without any "smartness" does his best to answer the Chancellor's arguments. The facts however are against him and the Chancellor is right. An annual cost the publishers more than it is worth.
Crowded out in Last Issue.
