With this issue of the WEEKLY the present management retires and next year the new board will take control of the paper. We realized that in taking charge of the paper that it is no easy job to get out a college journal but we have done our best to give Kansas University a worthy representative publication. We trust that we have attained some slight degree of success at least. We feel under lasting obligations to the members of the board and other students who have contributed to the WEEKLY. There are always some persons on the editorial boards who do not intend to work, but the board this term deserves a great deal of credit. In turning the paper over to the new management, we are confident that it is in good hands.
The first of the various events attending commencement is the senior play which will occur Tuesday night in Bowersocks opera house. The seniors have worked hard on this play and certainly deserve a full house. The play is along the line of a light opera and full of good music and bright witty remarks. Every K U. student should turn out and enjoy a good laugh.
"WHAT CAN A GIRL DO?"
The remarkable success of Miss Elsie Reasoner, who is now in charge of the American bureau of advertising at the Paris exposition, should dispell the common pinion that a young woman does not stand as much of a chance in the business or professional world as a young man.
Miss Reasoner is a bright little brown eyed Kansas girl and in the last three years, she has been wonderfully successful in newspaper work. She grew up in Oshborn, Kansas where she attracted attention in the high school on account of her brightness. She was, however, in for a good time, and could play ball as well as many boys. Her first newspaper work was on a Salt Lake City paper, on which her father worked. When the Omaha exposition was about to be opened she was sent to Omaha to boom the exposition, and it was there she first attracted attention in her work. During the recent war with Spain, Miss Reasoner was sent to Cuba by McClure's Magazine and the Associated Press and later to Belgium to write up the coronation of Queen Wilhelmina. It is remarkable that a young woman of 24 should be given charge of the American bureau of advertising at the Paris exposition, which is a very important position and indicates that a girl with a little perseverance can accomplish as much as a man can in the business or professional world.

Hon. F.B. Sanborn Talks
Hon F B. Sanborn of Concord Mass, the intimate friend and biographer of John Brown, and an ardent promoter of the Emigrant Aid Association, talked to the students during chapel hour Tuesday morning.
He is one of the delegates to the National Charities and Correction convention, in session in Topeka this week, and came down to visit Lawrence, the seat of early Kansas history with which he was so intimately associated.
His talk Tuesday morning was one of the most interesting and pleasing that has been given in chapel this year. He related many humorous stories and incidents connected with the early days of Kansas. His close friendship p with John Brown during the border warfare, and his exploits at and near Harper's Ferry, was the source of many interesting reminiscences.
In the course of his talk, Mr Sanborn said that Kansas University owned its present greatness to him. As pins had saved a great many people's lives by their not swallowing them, so Mr. Sanborn had made K U. great by his not accepting the presidency of this institution when it was first organized.
THE SHINGLE.
The Law Annual & Great Success
The Law school has been very successful with their annual and the words of approval with which it has met with generally, must certainly be very gratifying, not only to the editor, but also to the whole Law school. It is a book not only of this year's senior Law class, but of the school historically. It is dedicated to Dean Green, and the frontispipe is a fine full page portrait of him. All of the more noted Alumni also have large cuts in the book. The pictures of the Seniors are all very clear and the workmanship throughout is of a high order. The publication board consists of R E Everett, editor-in-chief, with W V Jordan and WR Smith, assistants. C C Hoge, auditor, R E Trosper, business manager; Grace Barnett and James Vandal. The editors are well written.
The lecturers, instructors and seniors have each a short biography. There are several poems and an article by Prof. Burdick.
The business manager, Robt. E Trosper,
as the Shingle is a new venture, had many obstacles to contend against but be overcame them and put for a book creditable to himself, the class and the school
The book is sold at the usual price of $;
and is certainly well worth it

THE RUN AWAY GIRL.
At the Opera House Tuesday Evening.
It Will Be a Mass of the
theatre for Virginity Kappa
The run away girl to be given by the Senior class at the opera house Tuesday, will have more interest for University people than any show of the year. It will be brim full of humor and local coloring. It will have clever tip offs on the professors and the students and will give you more than 120 laughs in two hours.
Some the prettest girls in the class will be fairies and nymphs or things out of the strong characters of Fairy Qusene and Flipper will be taken by persons of ability Fairy Qusene will be perhaps the best character in the play. The Qusene is surely a winner.
The impersonation of some noted characters on the hill will be a leading feature of the play. It will be easy to tell who the represented professors are. They will be as others see them.
