A WORTHY INSTITUTION.
Within the confines of our university is harbored a most worthy institution. Abetter knowledge of the practical workings of this organization would certainly commend it to the hearty support of every student. While the Y.M.C.A.is primarily a Christian organization,it has long ceased to offer spiritual support to the exclusion of tangible assistance. A brief enumeration of the practical workings of the association are indicated herewith.
The average new student comes up here practically an entire stranger. He is bewildered by the bustling activity. Many there are, too, whom lack of means or fortunate circumstances force to search independently for the work that is to assist him through school. This Freshman knows not his own classmates nor to whom he may apply. Few of the upper classmen have either time or inclination to assist him independently and, dignity often barricades the path of our organized brotherhood. It is at this juncture that the Y. M. C. A. steps in. It meets the new arrival at the depot; conducts him to its house; becomes his confident; acquaints itself of his circumstances, hopes and ambitions; locates him according to his means; procures him work; introduces him to his classmates and starts him into school under auspicious colors. Nor does it leave him simply with this. Facilitated by a religious census, his Christian welfare is planned. Social events are arranged for his meeting and mingling with his friends. And chiefest among the laudable works of this organization is its care for the less fortunate whom poverty has housed in garrets, black, cheerless and foreboding—men whom lack of money, perhaps, not dearth of brains has socially ostracised; men whose tissues of manhood are being toughened, but whose sensitive souls, starving for social nourishment, are shrinking into a cynical, selfish, personal interest. These lonely social outcasts, the Y. M. C. A. ferrets out and herds into the heart of the gymnasium—its parlors. Now is the student in his receptive state and, although enforced seclusion may redouble his mental energies, it will sap his soul o its life blood, will substitute cynicism for sympathy and render him a cold mental machine. Bur
yet many students in our very midst today are indebted to the association for their only social diversion.
One of the greatest defects in our University today, is the lack of mingling in the student body. We are too much Jew and Gentile. It requires now almost extraordinary occasions to fuse the petty factions into one composite whole. This condition certainly weakens our college spirit and renders difficult that essential student unity. A strong Y. M.C.A. offers a partial solution to the comforting problem.
Again, to the practical workings of the association may be traced the healthier moral reputation of K. U. abroad. Men helped by the Y. M. C. A. naturally ally themselves to the work and thus directly or indirectly all classes come into touch with its permeating influence.
Did the association contribute only its social and practical benefits; if we judge it from cold blooded results alone, it would then merit our hearty co-operation. But when we consider that it moulds men into truer proportions, assists perhaps some struggling son of destiny, and may probably bear unto some hopeless heart the beam of sunshine that shall sprout the germ of Divinely-decred mission, and mature what might have been blasted by cheerless environment into a growth we shall be proud to venerate hereafter—in the face of these possibilities the work demands not only our support but our enthusiasm as well.
We cannot all be missionaries 'tis true. But courtesies often quicken heart-beats and hand-shakes soften sorrow. The field is broad. We who have neither time nor fitness to work therein, should assist with moral and financial support an organization which is doing so much for our student brother. The institution is effective and practical. It needs support. Many indeed are the enterprises which solicit aid from the much-taxed student, but none can be ranked worthy or more legitimate than the Y. M. C. A.
The little pig of Mother Goose fame that cried "Oui, Oui, all the way home" must have been raised in a French settlement.
Spring with its enervation is here. From now on students will loiter up the hill with the air of gally slaves lashed to their tasks.
The school needs some event or series of events that will rouse a slumbering patriotism and mingle the students in some common interest.
The reduction of the price of baseball season tickets is an experiment on the part of the management. The ultimate success of the venture devolves upon the loyalty and support of the student body.
Many students doing Seminary work are greatly hampered in their pursuits by lack of books. It seems to be the custom of certain students doing similar work to smuggle books from the room and return them at their own
private pleasure. If more consideration for the convenience of others was entertained, many petty annoyances of this nature would be avoided.
The Freshman Engineers gave recent evidence of their prowess by sealing the stand pipe and painting their initials thereon from a most advantageous point.
The committee on student publications are accomplishing a most worthy work in their revision of the WEEKLY constitution. Under the existent limitations, decided improvement upon this publication is hardly possible.
We would kindly request the staff and department correspondents to be more prompt in furnishing their contributions. Much unnecessary hurry and worry will be obviated if all available copy were handed in Thursday and as early Friday forenoon as practicable. Leave copy at the desk.
The University is passing through a noteworthy period. For the first time in years that innate spirit of selfishness which lurks in every normal student body, has been stifled. By their hesitance in purchasing season tickets, the students have indicated their qualms of conscience at "getting too much for their money's worth."
A Former Kansan.
Mr. Albert Eugene Curdy, fellow in Romance languages in the Hopkins University, has been appointed instructor in French at Yale University. The appointment is regarded as one of the most important conferred upon a Hopkins student since last fall. Mr. Curdy who expects to receive the degree Ph.D. from John Hopkins this spring, is a native of Michigan. In 1885 he was awarded the baccalaureate degree by the University of Kansas. He came to Baltimore some time ago to continue his studies, and has also carried them forward in several of the universities and libraries of Europe. His work in the Hopkins Romance Seminary has been notably good. The instructorship to which he has been appointed is in Yales academic department. His chief will be Prof. Frederick M. Warren, who is known in Baltimore for the series of lectures which he delivers here every year. Mr. Curdy will take up his duties at the beginning of next September. Baltimore News.
Mr. Curdy was formerly connected with K. U. and his friends here will undoubtedly rejoice at his success in securing the position at Yale.

His Experience With the Water
The reporter of this paper was rather surprised one afternoon last week to see an old man stumping violently about the hall, spitting and spluttering, and rubbing his mouth furiously with a red slik handkerchief. Auger gleaned from his eyes, and his lips pressed each occasional spatter fell words heard only in a Sunday school.
Tank.
When we innocently inquired what was the occasion of such a display of violent emotion he looked at us wildly for a moment. When he gained sufficient control of himself to talk, he asked with an imposing dignity if the students of K. U. cared no more for public favor than to pour such masty concoctions in the public water tank. Then the old man's emotion again gained the mastery over him and broke forth into a fierce denunciation against one who could so trifle with the guileless and unsuspecting public. After his tirade was exhausted he asked us to tell him in confidence how anyone could have gotten together such an essence of petardiness in such a small compass. He asked if the boys had turned a sewer pipe into

When we told him that the stuff in the tank was the purest distilled water and that the Chemistry Department was kind enough to supply it to the students free of charge, the patriarch was completely confounded. He said that he was a simple country man, unlearned in the devious ways of science, and how anyone could call that nauseating liquid pure water was a mystery to him. We referred him to the instructors at the Chemistry building, but he seemed to be afraid of a place which had such an evident command of the black art.
A joke on one of our prominent athletes is going the rounds. It would seem that the gentleman in question rooms at a lively house where hilarity often reigns supreme. The other evening the boys decided to tie our hero up, but that gentleman, backing up his brawn with a menacing edgel, stood them off. At last, forced to seek cover, however, he locked himself in his closet. His pursuers, vere not baffled by this stroke of strategy and proceeded to smoke him out. Mr. X. was too obstinate to surrender and as a result was almost asphyxiated. When the door was opened he was found prostrate on the floor, and it required an hour and a half to resuscitate him. The parties concerned are to be congratulated that the joke did not prove more serious.
