THE GREATEST tribute to the University is that her graduates universally honor and work for her.
THE FIRST thing the new student should do after finding a boarding place and becoming enrolled is to subscribe for the WEEKLY in order to become conversant with University affairs.
GREETING.
TO THE former students of the University, to those who will be with us again next year and to the new students who will join us in the near future we, the editorial board of the WEEKLY, extend our most cordial greeting. We will be glad to see all of you at the opening of the fall semester of school and do all in our power to make the great University of Kansas nearer and dearer to you. To the prospective student, we say that we actually love our school on account of its thoroughness, equipment and power and are confident that he will re-echo this sentiment after he has been with us for a time.
In this, our mid-summer number of the WEEKLY, we shall endeavor to say a few things about our University, which are not usually found in catalogues or newspapers. Our classic halls are deserted now, our instructors are scattered over the United States and Europe and our students are everywhere—the time is ripe for retrospection. Yet next September renewed activity will be begun upon Mt. Oread, many familiar faces will be seen again sprinkled with a goodly number of new ones and the highest educational institution in Kansas will be busy for another nine months of school.
THE GROWTH of the University of Kansas in the past quarter of a century has been truly remarkable. From a school in one building with a faculty of four or five men, the University has grown to a school occupying nine buildings, the majority of them of great beauty, and having a Faculty of fifty-five members. The number of students has correspondingly increased. From a few students in the sixties the attendance last year was 914.
