We saw in a class the other day, forty girls and one man. That is co-education with a vengeance.
The Student, published at Eureka Academy, is exceptional among college periodicals in Kansas. It has only seven varieties of editors—K. C. Star.
It is the intention of the present management of the KANSAN to build up a machine—not a political machine—but a news getting machine and to see that each part of that machine has a work to perform and that it performs it.
There is room for several good men from the Sophomore class on the KANSAN board. At present there is not a single member from that class on the staff A number of the senior members are desirous of stopping work as soon as other places can be filled, so there is abundant opportunity for anyone desiring to secure a place.
A report comes from the library that a number of books have been taken from the shelves in the reading room, and not returned. This is due, we believe, rather to thoughtlessness than to malice. Students do not realize that the absence of even one or two books which have been reserved for the use of a class may cause considerable inconvenience to a number of persons. The amount of money appropriated for the purchase of books is not so large that the loss of comparatively few volumes is not felt. But, in any case, it ought to be a mark of personal pride with every student to help the library in every way that lies in his power, and to refrain from doing anything which may injure it. We have a fine library building, in which everything possible has been done for the comfort and convenience of readers. Let us, then, do everything we can to increase its efficiency.
A post-grad after a visit to the Dean not long ago, was heard to remark, "the audacity of that man—8 o'clock class--think that I am going to get up in the middle of the night to come to a class?"
A satisfactory college paper can never be issued until it is printed on the hill. A down town office does not pay the attention to the printing of the paper that it needs because it is only a small amount of their total business and hence is considered of minor importance. Another and by far the most valid reason for printing it on the hill is the distance of the office from the newsgathering field. The editor never knows when he can read proof nor does the printer know how much copy he will have on hand to set up. By the time a man makes two trips a day from the hill to the 600 block on Massachusetts street, there is little time for class work.
The Graduate Magazine is intending to purchase a larger press and do all their work in Frazer Hall. There is no reason why the management of the KANSAN should not join with them and thus issue the two periodicals from the same office. If this is done the members of the board can go to the news room between classes, read proof, edit copy, and continually look after the progress of the paper.
The following poem was received by the School of Journalism, with the compliments of E. E. Slosson, class of '90, at present editor of the Independent magazine of New York. We are among the first to receive this poem as the copyright was only released Feb 1st.
ON THE PROPOSAL TO ERECT A STATUE TO SHAKE-PEARE IN LONDON.
By Alfred Austin, Poet Laureate of England.
Why should we lodge in marble or in bronze
Spirits more vast than earth, or sea, or sky?
Wiser the silent worshiper who cons Their pages for Wisdom that will never die.
Unthe favorites of the passing hour
Erect a statue and unveil the bust Whereon contemptuous Time will slowly shower
Oblivion's refuse and neglectful du-t.
The Monarchs of the Mind, self-septed Kings,
Need no memento to transmit their name;
Throned on their thoughts and high imaginings,
They are the Lords, not servitors,
of fame.
Raise pedestals to perishable stuff:
Gods for themselves are monument enough.
