IN LAST week's WEEKLY more attention was given to oratory and debate than to athletics- ADNA CLARK will be Charles Tucker's assistant if the latter is chosen Clerk of the District Court for Douglas County. THE UNIVERSITY boys who do not live in Lawrence are beginning to devise excuses to tell their girls when they go home. It has been definitely decided by the committee on the arrangement of the schedule of studies for next year that there will be no 12 o'clock classes. This action will be greatly appreciated by almost the entire body of students in the University. UPON a monument erected in honor of those valiant Spartans who died so nobly while defending the pass of Thermopylae is an inscription something like this: Go stranger go and to the Lacedaemons tell. That here, obeying their behests, we fell. A contemplation of the thought expressed by this inspiring couplet is sublime. It develops the soul. ___ TEN THOUSAND dollars for apparatus and four additional instructors, is all that would be necessary at present, to establish a firstclass school of medicine in the University of Kansas. A medical school is by far the greatest need of the University. A medical school can be secured easily and with slight cost. A medical school is a necessary part of a great University, and yet we have no medical school!
