DR. EDWARD MEYER, a professor in the law department of the University of Berlin, who is visiting this country in order that American students and faculties may see and hear some of the apostles of higher education in Germany, sprung a surprise on the gooo people of Chicago by making an eloquent plea in behalf of the foaming stein and recking ducliling sword.—according to Dr. Meyer, the American students do not have as good times as they ought to have. They are deprived of some of the essentials of college life and are not brought up in a sufficiently strenuous style. In the course of his tribute to the amber fluid and its wholesome influence upon the minds and stomachs of students Dr. Meyer said that he should like nothing better than to drink the health of the University of Chicago in a "life size" stein of good lager but President Harper had failed to provide the rostrum with a keg and the Teenton had to drink to Chicago after leaving the hall.
Such sentiments as those expressed by Dr. Meyer are at least refreshing deviations from the usual advice passed out by men who make it their business to look into the bright faces of the young men and women who are availing themselves of the blessed opportunity of preparing for life in one of the best educational institutions in the country." Perhaps the German went a trifle too far and he would undoubtedly be misunderstood by most student bodies. He was advocating good fellowship among students and from his viewpoint good fellowship has to be copiously lubricated with lager beer and Rhine wine before it is in good running order. Dr. Meyer had the right idea. Our colleges and especially our Western institutions need more good fellowship. The students ought to get out more, have a better time and enjoy life while they may. The man who puts off pleasure will keep putting it off until he gets too old to have a good time and then he will be a burden to himself and to everyone else. He will be sour and lack affability which, after all, atones for a great many sins.
Such advice as this is not needed by all students for many are already entirely too much engrossed in having a good time; it applies to those who live only
in books and grades. Such students are improving their time in a way but they ought to get out more. To be plain they ought to "jar loose". This does not mean that they should at once cultivate a taste for beer and pretzels and open communication with the Kansas City liquor houses. It means that the "digs" should mingle with other students and if they cannot mingle in a manner which they enjoy they should practice it for a man is not a whole man until he can make himself agreeable to other people and at the same time enjoy association with them.
THE EFFORTS of some of the band men to get the K. U. band into good condition for the spring athletic contests are to be commended. In the past K. U. bands have had a tendency to burst forth into full bloom during the foot-ball season and to gradually wither away during the rest of the year Spring time has produced only a "Band of Hope". This is a good sort of a band in its place, but not on the athletic field. Even the soul inspiring strains of "Hiawatha" will not win many base-ball games when the air is carried only by the bass and snare drums, accompanied by three horns and one boy to hold the music. K. U. needs a good band. She has the material for one and the "WEEKLY" believes that she also has the men to get it together. Every base-ball game should see thirty band men, with instruments on Me.Cook field, prepared to use all the wind that their lungs will supply to assist the team in winning. Good rooting in an athletic contest is always present if there's a good band, and good rooting has won more games on Me.Cook field than a mathematical can calculate. Our baseball team has started in to clean up the schedule this year and under favorable conditions they'll do it. Let's make the conditions auspicious, by providing the most necessary one, a good band.
AGAIN MISSOURI has beaten us in debate and the record stands four victories for Missouri and three for Kansas. Our boys gave the visitors the best fight that they were capable of but to no avail. Kansas University has one consolation in this defeat; there's no other institution that we would sooner have win over us than Missouri University, and a Kansas debating team was never bested by any team more worthy the title of gentleman than the one composed of the M. S. U. boys who represented their school here last Saturday evening.
But Missouri! watch out for next year, for as certain as Kansas apples surpasses the old Ozark product, we're going to win the debate of 1905.
THE RHODES Scholarship examination for this state, which was given on the hill Wednesday and Thursday showed one thing certain and that is that Oxford demands her students to know several things before they enter there. The seven contestants all agree that the required scholarship especially in Greek and Latin is plenty high enough.

The WEEKLY doesn't want to make the other contestants feel bad, but it earnsly hopes that one of the three K. U. boys will win out. If the honor does fall to one of them it is a surety that Kansas need not feel ashamed of her representative in the great English University, for he will compare favorably in every respect to the best that England can produce. It is to be hoped that after this year numerous K. U. students will arrange their university work so that they will be the best fitted to make application for this scholarship. The WEEKLY expects in the future to see a K. U. man at Oxford all the time.

THE DAILY Nebraskan contained an editorial the other day regarding the wholesale furnishing of orations by regular publishing companies. It seems strange that there should be companies in existence who are able to sell ready made orations. Some men must patronize them. They must find purchasers or else they would not exist. The WEEKLY has its opinion of the man who will enter an oratorical contest with one of these "custom made" speeches, and if the evidence was not so strong, it would be hard to believe that a college trained man would be guilty of such action. It takes some nerve to steal but it takes the double-distilled article to deliver another man's oration for one's own.

A matter that is creating a great deal of interest in the athletic world, probably more in the East than in the West, is that of the eligibility rules under which the track meet at the St. Louis exposition will be held. This question will likely cause some trouble because the western associations are more lax than those of the East. It is very probable that the question can be settled at St. Louis as the East is liable to waive the point, feeling sure of victory in any ease.
Minnesota is going to send a company of cadets to the world's fair. It is estimated that the expense for each man will be $25.00.
