It is a pleasure to note the honors that have come during the summer to some of the faculty members of the scientific department.
Captain Algie's failure to return, due to a fair maiden in Utah, causes a much desired office to be open. It is hoped that a man as efficient as Algie can be found for the place.
All of the old students learn with regret that Tucker will be unable to be with the football team this year. Being one of K. U's oldest and ablest players, he will be sorcelly missed.
Prof. Blackmar's article in the September Review of Reviews, "Kansas After the Drouth," is an interesting one. It will give people out of the state, an idea of the true condition of things in the state at the present time.
The WEEKLY, under new management, bidse everyone welcome old professors,new professors old students,new students seniors,juniors,sophomores and especially the freshmen. It is bad if the rain dampened the spirits of the freshmen,but the farmers needed the rain.
Coach John Outland is working hard with the foot ball team. He hopes to find a number of strong, sturdy men in the Freshmen class. If any new man unknown to Mr. Outland, has tendencies toward foot ball, he should go out on the field and volunteer his service.
The WEEKLY this term will follow the policy of the WEEKLY last term, in that it will try to be fair and just to all. It does not boast that it will treat all alike for it will not. It will laud the worthy and condemn the unworthy. It will encourage the freshmen and hold down the senior. And it will do all in its power to promote class and college spirits, enthusiasm for athletics and friendliness among the students.
sound and well balanced, indeed,
sometimes more so.

That a reform in marriage customs upon this question of mating is imperative, seems to me clear. There are some of us who for reasons within ourselves, hereditary or acquired, should never marry. Education should enable us to discover this fact, and then to be true to ourselves. True, it means deliberate self separation from what we have strenuously insisted is the supreme joy and the supreme motive. But it is choosing the loss of two evils. For such, the marriage relation contains nothing but the bitterness of death, while it means a distinct wrong to all coming ages. The best, the only right thing, is by a large love of the race, and a nobly unselfish service, to fill as well as may be, the void in the soul, left by the self-destil. The rest of us should mate upon sound physical and psychological principles. Mark you, this is a reform which can come only by the voluntary activity of young men and women, and who shall set the example, if not the University bred. Who else so competent by knowledge ge to determine the facts in the case? Who else so strong by culture to conform their conduct to their intelligence? Who else so sustained, so enlightened, so trained by society for its service as the university man and woman? Upon whom has society the just claim for intelligent and righteous conduct in this respect, if not upon the men and women who possess the knowledge and the strength required for right action?
3 University training ought to give such balance, such poise of character as should make the stability and the joy of the house comparatively independent of economic conditions. We are not unmindful of a fact so strenously urged by the economist that domestic character is vastly dependent upon economic conditions. "If ones children are crying for bread and he sits shivering by a cold chimney, the endurance of his domestic virtues is probable natual." There is a certain inconvenience of material comfort without which domestic happiness is scarcely possible. But it is not the lack of that nuisance which afflicts the majority of our unhappy homes. It is the disparity between the standard of living and the income. The income may be amply sufficient for all the real necessities and many of the comforts of a family, yet if that family insists upon living or craving to live at a standard beyond the income, the conditions exist for all unhappy homes.
What are the facts? Why, with us Americans, especially of the class from which most University people come, the standard of living is away above the incomes. And why, pray? Our incomes are sufficient for real needs. Because we are so ruled and tyranized over by conventional ideas. We are so subject to whims and fashions; we are so overpowered by the horror of what other people will think, that we drive ourselves until, in the endeavor to live up to the standard of luxury set by our more worthy or less honest neighbors, we either succeed in doing it by straining after a larger income, and by a hidden economy which galls and frets or we give up the effort in dispair, and hate ourselves into the horrors because it is impossible.
University training ought to reduce us from all that. It ought to give us a large and intelligent capacity in domestic administration to get all possible comfort out of our incomes whatever they may be. And a strength and poise of character which will enable us to use what we have and be happy. Having food, raiment and shelter, a few books, a few friends, a concert occasionally and our loved ones at home, we ought to be happy. There is no sound reason for us worrying ourselves and our families into untimely graves, because our acquaintances have more. There is no reason why a man receiving forty dollars a month and a millionaire should not be chums, or why the poor man should envy the rich one. Enjoy what you have and be happy. If your university training does not help you to do it, it fails in one thing which it ought to do.
Ladies and gentlemen. The speech is finished. The year is before you. As a whole you are a Kansas product. Children of these broad prairies and thriving towns. Standing upon a virgin soil you today come into the importance of all the ages. How much of it shall be actually yours—you alone will say. The limits of your requirements here, yourselves will set, for no objective limits have ever been found. True the university is always calling for larger equipment and wider opportunity--it always will be. But here, right here, any man or woman will find a stream of learning, which, after you have drunk from it four years, will flow just as full and just as fee as before you tasted, for its fountain is eternal truth. Drink your fill and may it be in you a fountain of truth flowing out in noble living and large and loving service.

There is nothing like Asthmalene. 'it brings
lostant relief, even in the worst cases. It cures
when all else fails.
The Rev. C, F. WELLS, of Villa Ridge, Ill., says: "Your trial bottle of Asthmalene received in good condition. I can not tell you how thankful I feel for the good derived from it, I was a slave, chained with patrid sere throat and Asthma for ten years, I despaired of ever being cured. I saw your advertisement for the cure of this dreadful and tormenting disease, Asthma, and thought you had overspoken yourselves, but resolved to give it a trial. To my astonishment the trial acted like a charm. Send me a full-size bottle."

Gentlemen: I write this testimonial from a sense of duty, having tested the wonderful effect of your Asthmaleme, for the cure of Asthma. My wife has been afflicted with spasmodic asthma for the past 12 years. Having exhausted my own skill as well as many others I changed to see your sign upon your windows on E10th street New York, I at once obtained a bottle of Asthmaleme. My wife commenced taking it about the first of November. I very soon noticed a radical improvement. After using one bottle her Asthma has disappeared and she is entirely free from all symptoms! I feel that I can consistently recommend the medicine to all who are afflicted with this distressing disease. Yours respectfully,
Gentlemen: I was troubled with Asthma for 22 years. I have tried numerous remedies, but they all failed. I ran across your advertisement and started with a trial bottle. I found relief at once. I have since purchased your full-sized bottle, and I am very grateful. I have family of four children, and for six years was unable to work. I am now in the best of health and am doing business every day. This testimony you can make such use of as you see it.
