HERE'S TO THE CENTURY!
An editor may certainly he forgiven for musing at the beginning of the century, but we would advise him to cut it short and refrain ever afterward.

A number of High Schools in the state are supporting exceptionally good papers. We are glad to exchange with them. On our list are publications from Topeka, Parsons and Council Grove.

Details of the Bryan prize are announced in this issue. The reward consists of the interest on a sum given by Mr. Bryan several years ago for that purpose. It is well worth working for. The successful contestant receives mention which is a decided honor. There were few contestants last year, but this spring it is hoped the number will be larger.

It is unfortunate that the Juniors and Sigma Chis have conflicting party dates.
Both parties will suffer and it seems there is really no excuse why one of them should not be given a week later. However, we commend the Juniors in considering a University event of more importance than of a purely social order.
The Jayhawkers.
The Jayhawkers, accompanied by Miss Gertrude Becker as reader, spent vacation by giving concerts in Kansas and Nebraska. The quartette is composed of Messrs. Burress, Sams, Shipman and Smith. The boys had good houses, were royally entertained and invited back.
The following were among the press notices they received: "Oskaloosa people enjoyed a good treat at the opera house Tuesday night. The Jayhawker Quartette together with Miss Becker, dramatic reader, gave the best and most refined musical and literary entertainment of the year." "The entertainment at the opera house by the Kansas University Quartette and reader was a good one and heartily enjoyed by those present."
SOCIETY.
The Phi Psi's annual ball takes place next Friday night at Pythian hall. The preparations for the party are elaborate and a number of out-of-town guests are expected.
Prof. S.J.Hunter was called away last week by the death of his wife's sister.
A good story is told on a certain young man who went home vacation with his lady friend. The report got out that they were married, and so when they arrived they were met with hosts of friends, rice, shoes and all kinds of congratulations. It took some time and much earnestness to convince the people that the ceremony hadn't really been performed.
