It is almost time for the Seniors to begin the perennial discussion about caps and gowns.
lowa has a rule that no student may leave town without consent of President or Dean. We wonder how such a rule would be enjoyed here?
Some of the other schools are doing fall track work. Some has been done here but more would be better. There's nothing like beginning early.
We like this class spirit which is being shown by the Freshmen and Sophomores. It is a good thing and there hasn't been enough of it in evidence in late years.
Other colleges are already beginning to talk oratory and, although the contest is a long way off, it is not too early for us to begin if we are going to win.
The game this afternoon showed that Kansas has a team which will compare not unfavorably with the ones we have produced for the last four or five years—and everybody knows what they were.
Among our exchanges we note "Progress" from the Pleasant Plain academy, It is edited by B. C. Winslow, the principal of the school, who was in the graduate school here last year.
We have been urging students to attend football practice, but it seems that at Michigan the crowds are so great and press on the field so that they are talking of excluding them altogether.
We would like to see the second team get a chance to distinguish itself. From the way it has been tearing up the 'Varsity this week it ought to be pretty nearly able to "fix" some of these little colleges around here.
We want once more to urge that the whole school help to make the WEEKLY a success. We appreciate the assistance that has been given us so far, but we want all the University news, and we want every department represented. If you know anything that other people ought to know, tell us about it. If there is any department which should be better represented, just make the suggestion and we will try to make amends.
With the formation of a golf club a new branch has been added to University athletics. Every kind of sport has been encouraged here and the new game, which is so popular in the east, and which has such a fascination for its devotees, is starting out auspiciously. This may give some of us who are among the uninitiated an opportunity to be instructed in the mysteries of the golf vocabulary, so that we hope wive and bye to be able to read intelligibly the golf stories in the magazines.
THE VALUE OF THE COLLEGE MAN.
Apropos of the endowment of Stanford University and the plans on which it is run, some of the newspapers are praising the advantages of the technical school and crying down the college course as a preparation for it. For instance we take the following from an editorial in a leading Kansas paper—
The old style education may be a good thing, but it is more or less of a
upsappointment so far as the practical affairs of life are concerned. The college graduate finds that he has learned a lot of things he can't use and that there is a world of things that he ought to know that he doesn't. He finds that some reheaded boy who used to be in his class in the common school, and who quit when he got to the point where he could figure interest by the partial payment rate, has been humping along in a business way and is getting to the front. The college man studies a profession and probably stars along as a lawyer without clients or a doctor without patients or a preacher without a congregation who are willing and able to cough up a comfortable salary. Or possibly he becomes a teacher and grows round shouldered and baldheaded on a salary of a thousand a year.
The boy who never got beyond the partial payment rule gathers riches, is spoken of as a leading and influential citizen and takes his family away to watering places, while the men who studied Clecero and "scanned" Horace and translated Euripides and could figure the distance between the stars which form the bellyband of Orlon, digs along on a salary of seventy-five dollars a month and lives in a rented house all the days of his life.
This is manifestly unfair. It supposes that a college education unfits a man for the actual experiences of life whereas just the contrary has been proven true. Aside from the element of culture and the enjoyment which one obtains from his studies, the man who makes thorough preparation in any line and then goes in to win is sure of success.
The college man is the one who will have influence, whatever his station of life, and even if he does see "the boy who never got beyond partial payments" make more money, that is not all of life. He has the satisfaction that comes with broader culture and a broader view of the world.
SNOW LITERARY SOCIETY.
Snow Literary Society met last Saturday evening as usual. All the numbers on the program were carried out. The special features of the evening were the music, both vocal and instrumental, and the parliamentary drill. In the parliamentary practice, Mr. Baumgartner was leader. A main motion was made and all possible subsidiary motions applied to it. Questions on information and suggestions were in order at any time, and much was learned on how to state certain motions, the order of precedence, and when and why certain motions are out of order. After a few minutes Mr. Baumgartner called Mr. Burress to the chair. Mr. Burress acted as presiding officer for a few minutes when Miss Ellsworth was called to preside. The plan is to give each one some practice in the work.
The election of officers resulted as follows: President, Mr. E. H. McMath, vice president, Mr. Harshberger, secretary, Miss Haynes, treasurer, Mr Burress, sergeant at arms, Mr. Shaler.
Mr. Bates, a senior E. E. is putting in a ten horse power motor for Prof. Templin.

The Sigma Chis held their fall initiation last Saturday evening and later there was a banquet at the opera house. The young men initiated were Messrs. Milo Jones, Boyce Wiltrout, Tom Kingsley, Rollin Feitchans, Roy Clifford, Lloyd Tillford, and James Pellet. A very pleasant feature of the affair was the large number of out of town Sigma Chis present. Among these were R. L. McAlpine, Ross Kohn, J. W. Vernon, G. R. Shultz, H. P. Wright, Geo. Kingsley, of Kansas City; Ernest Havens and Ed Davis of Leavenworth; A. A. Johnson and W. M. Lyon, of Topeka; Dr. A. A. Sharp, of Larned; W. E. Swand, of St. Joseph; T. C. Babb, of Fredonia; Ed Morris and Clarence Wheldon, of Emporia; George Britton, of Hartford, and Frank Butler, of Yates Center.

Miss Margaret Davis is wearing the Kappa Kappa Gamma colors.

Last Wednesday evening a very quiet but exceedingly pretty wedding took place at the Bowersock home on Tennessee street. The occasion was the marriage of Miss Don Bowersock to Irving Hill. The ceremony, performed by Dr. Cordley, took place in the bay window of the back parlor which was 'prettily decorated with roses and palms'. The bride, gowned in simple white liberty silk and carrying bride's roses, was attended by her sister, Miss Burrie Bowersock, who wore cream silk and carried pink roses. The best man was the groom's brother, Mr. Harold Hill. After the ceremony a very dainty supper was served followed by an informal dance. Both bride and groom are well known in University circles having attended the school for several years and were both members of prominent fraternities.
The Lawrence members of the Association of Collegiate Alumnae very delightfully entertained the young ladies of the Senior class Friday afternoon at the home of Miss Gallo. The affair was given in honor of Miss Kate Holliday Clayhorn, the secretary-treasurer of the A. C. A. who spent several days here during the week.
Among those who went from here to the Y. W. C. A convention in Emporia Friday were Misses Henrietta Henderson, Lou Havens, Lizzie Whiteford, Mary Blue, Lillian Barth, Lizzie Goodnight, Mabel Edwards, Edna Warkentin, Addie Light and Mabel Stafford.

SEMINARY OF ECONOMICS AND SOCILOGY.
The Seminary last Monday afternoon was well attended, and a paper by Mr. A L. Goudy upon the taxation methods in Ohio, was read. A report by Mr. Dixon was to have been given, but this was deferred to a future time, since the material for investigation had not been available.
Mr Goudy's report treated of the difficulties which meet the collecting of any tax, but especially upon the property tax, and some of the efforts made in Ohio to establish more just and equable methods than heretofore in use.
Prof. Blackman was absent and the seminary was conducted by Prof. Cone.
