What a nice sunny place those steps on the new law building will be for the student of the law to enjoy the social cigarette. 一 The thing that would please the debating public now would be a debate between the two teams that recently represented the University. The proclamations presumably gotten up and distributed by some members of the Freshman class last Sunday night were so unspeakably vile that we have no words of condemnation capable of expressing our feelings on the subject. The originators of those and all of like nature should be segregated from respectable human beings. PLANS OF THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION. The Alumni of the University have some plans under way in which the KANSAN is vitally interested. At Commencement in June it is proposed to submit a plan for an entire reorganization of the present Alumni Association. It is also planned to ask the Alumni of the University for $5.00 a piece to create a fund which will be used to buy a small printing establishment for use of the Graduate Magazine. The amount left over will be used in any manner that the Association may direct. It is also intended next year to hire an Alumni secretary who will look after the interests of our Graduater in general and also have in charge the printing of the Magazine. Twenty members of the faculty of the University of Nebraska had their rank and pay raised at a recent meeting of the Board of Regents of that institution. If this printing plant is bought it will mean that the KANSAN will be printed on the hill next year. The convenience and practicability of the plan appeals fo every one connected with the University paper. A printing establishment on A FRESHMAN'S OPINION. Early Monday morning,—under the cover of darkness some irresponsible person or persons issued a repulsive jumble of vile epithets purporting to be a proclamation of the Freshman class. That "Proc." was the most disgraceful thing of its kind ever known to the University, recking with disgusting language, and filled with inexcusable personal references to members of the Sophomore class. The Freshmen are one in the condemnation of the act, and no one of any authority in the class was in any way connected with it. It was evidently the work of some one who was trying to arouse the animosity of the Sophomores by this act which was executed under cover of the name of the Freshman class. But if that is the case, it has failed entirely of its purpose. The whole thing is so low that disgust is the only feeling it excites. No one with a spark of gentlemanly spirit would be connected with it, and no right-minded man would notice such a thing but to scorn it. THE MAY FESTIVAL OF MUSIC. The Second May Music Festival of the University of Kansas will occur the evening of May 26th and 27th in Fraternal Aid Hall. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra under the directorship of Adolph Rosenbecker and the celebrated Chicago Quartette composed of E.C.Towne, tenor, Miss Genieve Clark-Wilson, soprano, Miss Eleanor Kirkam, contralto, Arthur Beresford, bass, have been secured and they, together with the festival chorus of one hundred voices, and the University Glee Club .HEADGEAR.

PRICE The course covering four years begins during the first week in October and continues until June. A preliminary training in training in science is of great advantage, as the classes are divided so small that students can attend only one. Students are admitted to advanced stunding after passing the requisite examinations. The successful completion of the first year in any College or University recognized by the Regents of the State of New York as maintaining a satisfactory standard is sufficient to satisfy the requirements for admission. The course will be conducted by full particulars will be mailed on application. Wm. M. Polk, M. F., LL. D., Dean, Cornell University Medical College, 27th and 28th streets and First Avenue, N. Y. C.

Snow literary society had an especially interesting meeting Saturday evening. The program consisted of piano solos, vocal solos, recitations, and a pantomine. Mr. Earbart and Mr. Ramsey, two of the debaters in our recent triumph, spoke a few words concerning the debates, and also of the gentlemanly way in which Iowa took her defeat. Snow feels especially proud because of the fact that three out of the six debaters are Snow men—Messrs. R.L.Douglas, Earbart and Ramsey. The society will entertain for the two squads next Saturday evening. Time is short to the end of the year. Have you had your Picture taken. Have Shelley do it.
