LET us co-operate to make the coming Field Day one of record breaking distinction. This weather is conducive to sluggishness and a moderative amount of exercise in the way of
training for the outdoor meet would break up spring time ennui. It is highly probable that Field Day programs will be arranged with other schools or with athletic clubs. Such likely prospects call for thorough preliminary work on the part of our athletes.
FOR SOME time the Registrar has been in correspondence with the high schools through out the state, advertising the University, distributing circular information and adjusting courses. He notes a great improvement in high school curricula and on the whole a kindly attitude toward the state university. There is now scarcely a town in the State that has not facilities for giving a public academic education; scarcely a high school that does not articulate with the university. The Kansas school system is fast approaching completeness. It is for us to upbuild a splendid graduate school.
THE FOURTEENTH Annual Meeting of the Kansas Academy of Language and Literature will be held in Manhattan Thursday, Friday and Saturday of next week. Last year's session occurred in Lawrence, and recollections of that pleasant and instructive season are fresh in the minds of those who attended any of the meetings. Prof. Carruth is president of the Academy and will give the opening address Thursday evening. Mr. T. E. Dewey and Mr. Eugene Ware will take prominent parts in the program of the session. All who attend the Academy will receive entertainment in the homes of Manhattan. A reduction of railroad rates will probably be secured. The expense of attending the meeting will be slight. Here is opportunity to hear and meet the elite of Kansas. Let us avail ourselves of it.
