Fortunate is he who has afternoon classes these days.
Seniors who spoon in front of Fraser Hall on Sunday should remember there is a guide in the building who has eyes and ears.
Princeton University maintains a training table for the second team in addition to the regular table for the 'varsity eleven.
The managers of the play and annual may be liable to a financial loss, but isn't it strange how men fight for the privilege of incurring that risk.
If Victor Murdock should tire of the newspaper business or lose his hold on politics, he could make Booth, or Kean look to their laurels as tragedians.
We are glad to note that the Washburn Review condemns a recent story in the State Journal in regard to Coach Kennedy and the Washburn football team.
After the annual cane rush and the Soph-Freshie scrap at Minnesota, Governor Johnson came out in a very bitter article condemning the authorities for allowing such to happen. Aren't we glad we are good?
Only thirty-two per cent of all the girl graduates of K. U. get married. No statistics of this kind for Washburn have been brought to the notice of the Review but out of last year's senior class of thirty, ten are already married and five are to be soon.-Washburn Review.
It is certainly an anomaly that the most polished rhetorical effort heard in Fraser Hall within two years should be made by a man who never came from the portals of a college or university and was barely graduated from a high school.
The faculty of the department of mathematics look with scorn upon the rest of the "profs" now. A recent count shows that they have 654 students enrolled in their department, beating every other department by a good margin.
Takes Blake's Place.
Prof. V. P. Hill, instructor of Physics in the University of California, has been appointed to take Professor Blake's place during his leave of absence. Professor Hill studied in Berlin during 1900 and 1902.
Fine Fellows.
In regard to the conduct of the boys from the College of Emporia on McCook field Wednesday, Kansas feels that she should express an appreciation of the highest degree. The University has met the College a number of times in athletic contests and frankly can she say that no more gentlemanly set of boys ever contested for college honor on McCook field than those from the College.
In the game Wednesday, though out-classed in every point in the game, they never showed the white feather but fought the University for every yard.
Editors Will Play.
The staff of the Daily Palo Alto, of Leland Stanford University, have challenged the staff of the Daily Californian, the University of California publication, to a baseball game to be played in the near future. The women editors, 'tis whispered, will be umpire and mascot, respectively.
Dr. Strong was in Topeka Wednesday attending a meeting of the State Text Book Commission.
A lucky find.
For instance, the man that has found this Clothing establishment, and has learned to come here for his Suits, his Overcoats, his Hats, Shirts, Underwear, Neckwear, and all his toggery is certainly a lucky man.
Still there are lucky finds other than horse shoes.
Had he not found us, he would, perhaps, be wearing poorer Clothes and paying as much or more for them than we ask for our garments of excellence.
Indeed, our patrons are lucky and they appreciate the fact.
Have you found us?
