Kansas University Weekly.
something of the nature of those with whom it comes in contact. Therefore choose carefully for friends, those whose aims are high, whose lives are clean, whose motives pure and you cannot have a more elevated nature. Be careful that you exert over your friends an influence that will not lead to infamy.
The press—University and general, the Faculty and students, the Alumni—in and outside of Lawrence have all remembered us with kind words of commendation and approval. This is very gratifying. Praise is a great stimulus, and the whole WEEKLY force, from the Editor-in-chief down to the printer's devil, is peculiarly sensitive to it. But, we can't live on praise. Your words of approbation, while they may fill our minds with vanity will never fill the columns of the WEEKLY with readable matter. Don't wait until some one of the department editors "drums" you up and "pumps" the news out of you, but gush forth (pardon the poetry of the thought) like perennial spring. Dont wait untill a "writ of mandamus" is served upon you, before you contribute,—but come right into our sanctum sanctorum with your literary article in one hand and a "writ of habeas corpus" in the other; you will immediately be convicted of having done a generous deed, and your article will be bound over to wait the next appearance of the WEEKLY.
THE FOOT-BALL season closes with a neat sum in the treasury. It is hoped that the lesson taught by the past years experience will not be forgotten. It is quite amusing how the illustrious politicians—peace to their ashes—were startled by the alarming facts that the Athletic Association occasionally entertained the opinions of the members of the faculty; that there had even been certain professors and certain employees of the Uuniversity, office holders, etc. A straight student ticket was elected. The treasurer's advice was not heeded. The suggestions of the members of the faculty were not taken into consideration—and, when the association meets the following fall the treasury
is empty and things are muddled generally. Subscription papers must be circulated among the business men of Lawrence, among the students, and, oh! yes, the faculty, good kind souls, was first asked to contribute. It was their duty to help out a University Organization. Oh! it was even thought well to elect a professor president. Yes, it would do in the face of bankruptcy to have a member of the faculty chairman of the auditing committee. And, why, yes, the University Treasurer will aid in the management even though it has proved a most thankless job in the past.
"The student stands at the place of power. His hand is on the long arm of the lever. A slight pressure here appears yonder as a resistless force. I repeat, if the college student whose heart is right keeps his fingers on the springs of power during the significant years of his academic life he may die on the day of his graduation and yet have accomplished vastly more than the unambitious companion of his youth who lives three-score years on a plane where high opportunity never comes." President John, of De Pauw.
Friday evening 23rd the Board of Regents met and chose Mr. D. H. Holmes to occupy the chair of Latin Language and Literature, with the title of Associate Professor. At Ohio Wesleyan he was four years a fellow student of Prof.C.G.Dunlap and Prof.H.B.Newson.
