Kansas University graduates always excel in some quality or the other. Grain Inspector Culver refers to Ed. Hackney, class of '95, who served his term in the legislature, as a "very fresh young representative."
A number of our young people have been camping at Beurmann's. Among them were the Misses Maud and May Landis, Beth Hudson and Vergie McCrory; Messrs. Gene Alder, Leon Flint and Raymond Hazen.
The attendance next year will, in all probability, reach the 1,200 mark. The chancellor has received an unusually large number of letters from young people throughout the state in regard to entering the University this fall.
Grandma Griffith, who for many years was the reliable right guard on the 'Varsity team, enters the law school of Leland Stanford University next year. Mr. Griffith was a hard working student while at K. U. and stood high in his classes.
Among the K. U. students at "Camp Golden Rod" are Misses Elizabeth Stone, Della Frazer, Harriet Ayers, Burrie Bowersock, Lucy Watson, Julia Righter and Ethel Luther; Messrs. Frank House, Raymond Hazen, Frank Banks, Sydney Griggs, Eugene Alder and Lieutenant John Watson.
The new mail train on the Santa Fe from Kansas City makes it possible for another K. U. student or two to eke out a portion of his college expenses via the newspaper route. The people of Lawrence spend approximately $300 a week for current literature, and the amount is steadily increasing.
Miss Rose Ridgway, the first graduate of the elocution department, was married at her home in Kansas City, Mo., on July 14, to Dr. L. B. Sawyer.

Between forty and fifty students of Georgia university will spend the summer in Cuba fighting for the insurgents. To the student mind a fight ranks next to a picnic in point of enjoyability; yet as between hazing each other and hazing poor old Spain the pugnacious Georgians have undoubtedly chosen the wiser part. — Topeka Mail and Breeze.
The Wichita Eagle has received a grape vine dispatch from London saying that Vernon Kellogg, the famous Kansas authority on bugs, went to see the Queen's parade. Just as the Queen passed he saw a peculiar beatle climbing along a rope and he became so interested in it that he lost his chance of getting a glimpse of the Queen. Emporia Gazette.
Mr. John King, who was a member of last year's Freshman class, will not return to the University this fall. His father's family moving to Salina will necessitate his entering Salina Wesleyan University. Mr. King will be greatly missed. For some time he was president of the Adelphic Literary society, and did much to make that organization a success. He was also a prominent member of University Y.M.C.A.
Some people are curious to know how Klondyke got its name. The World has had an expert to look it up and he says that the name has a double origin. The first part is a Scandinavian name meaning "long hair," and the last part of course all will readily see is named after our own professor of natural history. Thus we have the beautiful and harmonious combination, Klondyke. Lawrence World.
