STUDENTS, faculty, alumni and friends of the great University of Kansas, All Hail! Beginning with this issue of the KANSAS UNIVERSITY WEEKLY, if we can make this paper truly representative of the University, we shall spare no effort to do so.
May our Pegasus be shod with sharp-calked shoes, enveloped in a heavy coat of mail, and its rider armed with the latest improved
weapons for offensive warfare. Not that the WEEKLY will seek trouble, but that fearlessness and independence are necessary if it will truly represent University life.
Many, or at least, a number of abuses find refuge within the shadows of the University, which should be exposed to public view. Many excellencies also exist which should be duly noted.
With these few remarks, we start out across the field of journalism—and may we never be turned into a pillar of salt!
THE JUNIORS are to be congratulated for planning to give a promenade. Class spirit, this year, seems to be at a very low ebb. The Juniors however, flash forth like a meteor on a dark night and dazzle the other classes.
Few students wear the University button or pin. The sunflower in gold, with a crimson center and the letters K.U. in sky blue and corn yellow—the University colors—against a crimson background makes a very pretty badge.
NUMBER one, volume four of the Lawrence High School Budget comes to us bright and newsy. Under the direction of its able managing editor, it will certainly well represent the Lawrence High School and should prove financially successful.
THE establishment of a law firm in Lawrence by fourteen members of the Senior Law Class is a happy combination of theory and practice. The firm has already secured considerable business, although it has been organized but a short time. The chief aim of the firm is to defend in the district and justices' courts those persons who are unable to pay regular practicing attorneys.
