Surely the cup of the University runneth over; we have a handsome new Gym. in sight, the maintenance fund has been increased, the Geological survey received its appropriations, and to cap our joy, William Allen White was appointed regent.
There has been a lamentable increase in the tendency to cut classes this term, especially since the weather has become so warm. The greatest number of culprits are in the Engineering School. The college students cut because they haven't their lessons, while the Engineers claim that they must cut at least one class a day in order to get the other two. Perhaps the Engineers are not entirely to blame for slighting some classes
What is the matter with the Law school. Only two men from that department have places on the debating squad? Heretofore, fully half of the debaters of the University have been law students and it might be added that the strongest men who have ever represented Kansas have been from that school.
The Law schools of Nebraska, Michigan, Harvard and Missouri furnish a large part of the debaters of their respective Universities and it should be so here. Men who can make a good brief of a proposition for debate will find no trouble in writing a satisfying law brief and he who can speak logically, entertainly, and convincingly to an audience in an inter-University debating contest, will not be ill at ease before a jury. No oratory, no bluff goes in these interstate debates. The members of the law school should not neglect the opportunity, here offered, to get the training in the things they will most use in after life.
The precedent which the present Legislature has made will result in good to the University for years to come. There will in the future be no need of uneasiness by the University
management as to a stingy appropriation. It marks an era in University progress; a change from the "how little can they get along with" policy, to "the how much do they need" administration. This Legislature was the first of Kansas Legislatures to adopt the methods of the Representative body of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Illinois in dealing with their State Universities.
The law makers of Kansas will not find their confidence misplaced or receive ill returns from their money. The University of Kansas will in the future, even more than in the past, continue to give training to the men who stand highest in the esteem of the people of the state.

GLEANED.
It may not be known how the Western compare with the Eastern colleges in football, but the success of Buckner of Nebraska, at Harvard this year shows the status of debating in the two sections.
Among the many things Kansas University had to be thankful for last week, not the least was the fact that she was not in that Oratorical mix-up at Wichita.
There is one man in the University, who agrees with Senator Noftzer, that a University audience is the hardest audience in the world to speak to.
A professor greeted a student the other day who had been coming late to class with "It would hardly be right to call you the deceased Mr. — although it would be entirely proper to call you the late Mr. —."
The New York World says the students of Chicago University have a new rendition of the Doxology:
Praise John from whom oil blessings flow:
ings now,
Praise him oil creatures here below;
Praise father, son and holy ghost—
Praise oil of them, but john the most.
A prominent society man of the University, in looking over his programmes the other day, found that so far this season he had danced 197 numbers with the same girl. Adding 50 more to this to complete the social season, he will have before the year is ended, danced 247 times with this same girl. Granting that the course of true love runs smoothly and he does not lose his pleasure in the light fantastic, at the end of four years her name will appear on his programmes; giving 6 minutes to a dance, for 5,928 minutes, or $98 \frac{1}{2}$ hours, or a little over four days his arm will have encircled her waist, not counting Sunday nights.
