LAST SUNDAY's Topeka Capital contains an excellent article on the entomological collection of the University. The article was taken word for word from the last issue of the WEEKLY and printed with no mention of the source from which it was obtained and without the knowledge or consent of the original writer. Such methods are ordinarily not used by those who have a true conception of journalistic honor.
THE GREATEST need of the University viewed from the standpoint of the people of Kansas, the utilitarian standpoint, is a school of medicine.
OUR LEGAL friend says that "the WEEKLY usually devotes more space to brawn than to brain." We have never devoted to athletics more than two pages in an issue of from sixteen to twenty-six pages. This statement may be verified by anyone, and we can not account for the surprising assertion of our legal critic in any other way than by supposing him to have been "non compos mentis."
GOETHE SAYS that thought broadens but lames, while action narrows but animates. Some students in the University think too much and as a result will become old before their time or will never be much more than dreamers while other students are so active that they never have time for serious contemplation. The man of greatest value in this world is one who can think and act as occasion demands.
ONE OF the sad sights of every day life in a large city during a dull season is that of men out of work with little prospect of finding employment in the near future. They stand about, talking but little, seldom smiling and never laughing aloud. They have a thoughtful, despondent air and they look about them in a listless way as if they had no interest in the world of activity about them. They are very willing to earn their daily bread if work could be found. It is something that the average man can sympathize with these poor fellows even though he is unable to render them direct assistance.
