It is much to be regretted that the prize offered at the fair did not bring out a college song. Where money will not avail, the only thing left is love. Will not someone, just for love of the University write us a song?
THE TRUSTEES of Baker have finally decided to allow the students to engage in all intercollegiate games except football. The latter
game in accordance with the resolution adopted recently by the Kansas College Presidents' Association will not be played by any of the denominational colleges in Kansas.
HOW TRUE it is, as we heard a member of the University remark some time ago that we who are in the University do not realize at all how many we are. We come straggling up to classes at different hours and go straggling down again in little squads and battalions, and never stop to think that we are really an army. All the students in the University might go to chapel on the same morning; but there wouldn't be room for any visitors except perhaps on the front row down stairs or the back row of the gallery. If the students should take a notion to join hands they could form a line from the main building to the general delivery window at the post office. But we never do join hands any time, for any purpose; we never do all attend chapel on the same morning and it seems a pity that we do not.
WE HAVE sometimes thought that the alumni were not doing as much as they might do to encourage literary effort among the under-graduates of the University. It seems that they might with little inconvenience to themselves establish a number of prizes for original work in composition of various sorts. But after all, what inducement have they to do so when they learn that a prize of twenty dollars' worth of books to be given for the best "'characterization of some English author of the Victorian period" has simply been ignored by the members of the two classes to whom it was offered? What a commentary is this on our energy and enterprise! What a reputation for active scholarship it gives us! Probably it will not be so again this year. There ought to be at least twenty-five essays handed in.
