A'Hill' By Any Other Name
The "Hill" was no accident, the "so-and-so's" planned it that way.
"With malice aforethought" perfectly describes the motives of the three commissioners who were empowered by Governor Carney in 1863 to select a site for the state university.
What A Head
So you dont believe anyone could be that fiendish? Well, here's what one of the commissioners wrote $ ^{ \textcircled{8}} $
"One capital idea in connection with the location of the University—while the student is climbing the hill of science, he must every day climb Mt. Oread. This will constitute practical gymnastics to develop and strengthen the lungs, digestion, and the locomotive power! Here muscular power will be developed with brain power!"
The younger generation may be "getting soft," but when it comes to climbing the Hill, times haven't changed much. One of the better bits of advice carried in an early edition of the University Daily Kansan said: Kansan's Advice
"After the new student has climbed the hill a dozen times he imagines that he has every complaint known to medical science. Witch-hazel oil is good. This is no fake."
Today when a slick convertible glides by while you puff up the hill muttering "lucky stiff" under your breath, consider yourself well off. In 1887 student mountain climbers also
girls who drove the family horse and buggy to class.
Little did these early planners know how successful their muscle building program would be. Had they been on a certain island in the South Pacific during the last war, they would have heard:
"Bet you a fin the nurse that just down the gangplank is a K.U. cute."
"Why, do you know her?" th other sailor asked.
"No. I swear I've never seen her before. It's just something about a K.U. girl I can always spot."
“OK, wise guy, I’ll take you up. You ask her,” the second sailor grinned.
The Red Of
The Pay Off
"Pardon me, lieutenant, but Ive a bet with a buddy that you're from Kansas University. Would you please settle it for us?"
"Why yes, I am. How did you know?" the nurse said.
Without answering, the sailor lowered his glance below the hem of her skirt.
Indeed, we have many things for which to thank our forefathers. But putting the University on a hill isn't one of them.
Watch For Those Street Barricades
The warning harbiricates which are placed at the top of 14th, 13th, 12th, and 11th streets every year during icy weather seem to be disregarded with the regularity of winter itself.
The city engineering department wishes to urge all students to think twice before running their automobiles down the icy chutes. The streets are not completely blocked but have token barricades with red warning flags, and flares at night.
Mrs. Burt Collard, Jr., Leavenworth, thinking the red flags signified an open manhole, tried her luck down 14th street recently. The result: a smashed hood, crumpled right fender, a broken windshield and one severely injured telephone pole.
Students Buy 16,000
Postcards For Final Exams
Final examinations caused the sale of nearly 16,000 penny-postcards by the University of Kansas post office during the past week. Students purchased the cards in order that their instructors could mail the unofficial notices of their grades.
R. C. Abraham, superintendent of the campus post office, said, "They must have all been 'Grade A' postcards. We haven't had any complaints yet."
Every sort of tree that is grown in the temperate zone may be found in abundance in the forest of Arkansas.
