OPEN LETTERS.
NO. I.
Lawrence, Kansas, Oct. 7. 199
Mr. Roy Weldon, Chicago:
Mr. Roy Wendel,
Dear friend—In your last letter you
requested me to write you concerning the
Athletic association election. I believe I
had informed you that it was to be held on
Tuesday, October 3. I wish you had been
here; for if you enjoy excitement and are
a believer in so called University spirit or
patriotism you would have marked October
3 as a red-letter day in the annals of
Kansas University.
For two weeks faculty and students have been looking forward to the event; bulletins had been posted in the hallways, printed circulars distributed among the students and announcements made in the class room. A dozen candidates were in the field and as all candidates had a considerable number of very ardent and demonstrative supporters, interest grew up on the morning of the famous October 3. excitement was at fever heat. By 8 to clock the lower halls of the Main building were crowded by knots and groups of earnest speakers and resive, but interested hearers. Men and women, teachers and students, mingled and commingled, each anxious to hear the other had to say, everyone demanding his right to be heard. Chapel bell rung, but no one responded. Recitation hours came and went, but the class rooms remained deserted and their usual stir and activity gave way to a stillness only broken now and then by the steamy ingress of a party of campaigners, discussing in whispers new moves and secret measures and by the ceaseless uproar outside in the turbulent halls.
As usual in all University elections, the vote was heavy. Eight hundred ballots were cast during the morning and it was estimated that about thirty more would have been polled had the election not been closed at noon. If we should say that the excitement was intense in the morning it would be hard to describe the feeling at noon while the judges were out counting the ballots. Amusing wagers of all kinds were made, the defeated parties to suffer ludicrous penalties and furnish amusement to the victors.
The successful candidates were carried on the shoulders of the crowd out onto the campas and made to address the throng. They responded and then the fun began. One by one the defeated boasters of the morning were led out and compelled to pay their penalty amid the cheers and laughter of 1400 students and teachers.
The result was announced at 1 o'clock. Presto! I thought the old building with all its massiveness would give way with that internal tumult. Yells of triumph broke forth from one end of the hall to the other. Those who could not cry for victory shouted "Rock Chalk."
The last act of this improvised comedy over, the chancellor called for a college song and dismissed the crowd after its last triumphant notes had been sung. But then, Roy, I suppose the details of the affair has not so much interest to you, who in your four years spent here, doubtless have seen many similar ones.
As this is my first year here, it was all new and exciting to me. but I can not say altogether pleasing.
In the first place it is necessary to raise such a hue and cry over an affair of this kind?
Is not such interest and excitement as were displayed last Tuesday, liable to create dissension, breed jealousy, and develop rivalry and discord in the association?
Why place such prominent bulletins where all can not fail to read, and possibly be disturbed in the routine of their study by thinking over such matters?
Is it necessary that all who pay for their games shall have a part in the management of them? Only in unity is there strength.
How much better it would be if a few members should quietly get together and arrange the ticket.
Would not the advantager at once become obvious? The result would be but one ticket, the very essence of unity, the germ of harmony. All would then be smooth sailing for the association, how
simplel Why has it not been thought of before.
My second cause for complaint is the feverish haste which the young men showed to get into politics. What a clamor they raised lest their voices should not be heard and right of opinion acknowledged.
Is University education all in vain?
Has not their study of history, economics and civics convinced them that they should shun any kind of an election as they would the leprosy? With such unparalleled examples of individualsalism as were displayed last Tuesday before us are we not alarmed to the course in which we are drifting? Do we not see in this outbreak of individual effort and independent judgment the spirit of so called Americanism. In these days of demoralization one would not be surprised to learn of a graduate of one of our universities meddling in the affairs of the nation and even becoming brazen enough to claim that his education fitted him for citizenship and politics.
politics.
My third complaint is brought about by disappointment; disappointment at the prominent part taken by the faculty. Out of about seventy teachers at least sixty belong to the association.
Almost to a man they rushed into the fray and manifested as much interest as the students. The idea of a college professor becoming enthusiastic over athletics! Whither are we drifting, I ask, when we see the men whom we reverence for their learning, around whom we gather in the sacred precincts of the class room, dazzled by the halo of knowledge which encircles them, ruthlessly throw aside their togas and take part in an athletic election?
Whither? I ask again when we see such an august body discussing such questions as football, baseball and tennis, with the students and on a common footing with them.
But then I suppose the intense love of students and professors for an institution leads us into excesses. You know how loyalty the 'students stand up for K. U., when at home or on a foreign field. Our devotion when at Lawrence does not suffer from a change of surroundings and the enthusiasm and patriotism shown in student affairs is as unanimous as it is ardent.
Yours,
Yours,
Arrow.

Seminary of Economics and Sociology.
Regular work which is to be done in the Seminary was assigned last Monday by Prof. Blackmar.
Some original investigation will be made in certain lines of work, but in general the members will review publications like the Review of Reviews, Journal of Political Science, Forum, Charities Review, and others of that type; and from those present reports of economic and sociology interest.
Mr. A. L. Goudy was to have reviewed "The Annals of Am. Academy," but or account of a lack of time his report was deferred until the next meeting, when I will be given in addition to several report upon current magazine articles.
Wright's new book, "Practical Sociology" was carefully reviewed by Miss Perdue. The various topics embraced in that work were set forth very clearly, and the author's method of treatment of his subject subject fully discussed.
