ONE DOER is worth a hundred thinkers.
DICKINSON COUNTY has organized a Kansas University Alumni Association. The time will come when University graduates will be so numerous in Kansas that every county in the state can organize a similar association.
IN THE Forum for March, Charles F. Thwing gives the replies of a number of representative men to the question: "What is the best thing your college did for you?" Various answers were made, among which some of the most common were: "It gave me the ability to learn," "It educated me," "It gave me higher ideals," "It gave me a truer perspective of the importance of things," "It brought me in contact with a noble man, from whom I received the inspiration to make the most of life." The article is perhaps of less practical value than it might have been if a larger number of men engaged in other than educational work had been questioned. But it is nevertheless well worth reading.
A DINNER hour at one o'clock is a relic of the days when the University was in its childhood. It is generally true at least in the United States and probably every where that people become hungry when the sun crosses the meridian. The University of Kansas cannot change the natures of human beings nor can it create a body of students who like to eat dinner at one o'clock.
A PAPER has been received by the WEEKLY from Aspen, Colorado, by which the excellence of the city schools there is demonstsated. Prof.F.H. Clark a former student is the superintendent of these schools.
IT TAKES a nation hundreds of years to reach that point of culture which one man may attain for himself in a life time.
Why is good alto singing so enjoyable? Discussion of this subject is solicited by the WEEKLY.
No STUDENT can be independent of his surroundings. Ergo, choose your surroundings.
