BY THE withdrawal from the University of Mr. J. H. Engle the Weekly loses a manager who has striven most energetically for its welfare, and to whom great credit is due for the success of the paper and for its good name among the business men of Lawrence and neighboring cities. The Weekly unites with his
many other friends in wishing Mr. Engle the best of success in his new and broader field of labor. ___
OVER AT Missouri University, President Jesse has been trying to prevail on students and professors not to talk politics on the campus, and he has found it a very hard task indeed. Moreover some of the Missouri papers have added to his troubles by intimating that he is an enemy of free speech. This is unjust. President Jesse intended no more by his request than to discourage the useless and senseless wrangles which are heard on the street and which certainly have no place within the precincts of our institution of learning.
THE KANSAS-Nebraska debate will be held! There is no doubt about it. That we do not want to drop out and will not do so, seems to be the prevailing if not universal sentiment.
The question of having the debate being settled, we must next ask ourselves whether we wish to win or be beaten, and after making all due allowances for the altruism in our natures, we will probably find that we wish very much to win. But in order to win we must work. And although the preliminary debates will not be held until next term we must begin at once to plan for the debate and to encourage a large number to enter the contests.
For the purpose of developing material, what would be better than a series of inter-class debates on the same plan as the inter-class baseball games last spring? Such contests would be popular and would bring to light the talent which is now lying hidden and useless in all parts of the University.
