NEW STUDENTS: Bring your ambition, your genius, your working clothes and a new necktie, but don't hide your enthusiasm in a band box. UNIVERSITY CATALOGUES are gladly sent free on application to the Chancellor. THE HALF-TONES and zinc etchings for the monthly illustrated edition of the WEEKLY will be made at the University by Mr. Frank Marcey. LET YOUR individuality alone, and it will take care of itself—if you have any. If you haven't any get some. But do not join any University organization whose tendency is to check it or kill it. The world has enough kindling in it already to light the fires of hell. THERE MAY be wasting genius in the lowland cornfields and upland prairies of Kansas. It ought to make one sad, that story of the unseen blushes of the flower. Desert air and wasted sweetness. If one kind watcher could only have seen the blushing sweetness blossom into loveliness! WE MIGHT give some timely advice to the prospective new student, but there are so many of him and the assortment so varied, that to a man on a farm there is but one piece of advice strictly applicable to every case. We are glad to say that this will cover the worst felt need of the Freshman. Subscribe for the WEEKLY. It is a paying investment to become a member of the Athletic Association.
