Professor Grummann evidently is not acquainted with Kansas students; there never was a genuine Kansas boy who would not risk a nervous breakdown to make a star recitation in the presence of one of the fair sex.
Last Saturday's game was by all odds one of the most satisfactory ever played on McCook field. There was no dirty, tricky playing, no abuses or bad spirit of any sort and the K.U. rooters showed their metal as well as did their team.
The man who gets cold feet at a critical stage in the game, the man who closes up like a clam when the enemy gains a yard, the man who lets his pipe go out and says "We're beaten" when there is yet a few minutes left to play, is the worst sort of a piker to the team and to the school.
The spirit of the K. U. Washington game stands as a triumph for clean athletics. The complimentary "Rock Chalk" given by the visitors as they left the field, and the spirit that prompted it are worth infinitely more than the victory. The team recognized that they got a square deal, and a gentlemanly fight—both of which are so often lacking in aspiring institutions of less responsibility.
The Jayhawker is supposed to be the annual of the whole University of Kansas. Therefore every school of the University should be represented in the meeting that selects the editor and business manager of that publication. Then this trouble each year about the law school having representation on the annual board would be obviated. Let the present junior class in the college keep this in mind next year; and if they do not, let the "laws" remind them that if not allowed to vote in the meeting, the "laws" will have an annual of their own.
Let us be willing to learn from the smaller schools of the west: In a few days we go to Topeka, a city filled with those who wish our defeat. Now it is our business to see that defeat is Washburn's lot, not ours. There is no reason why half of the students here should not go to Topeka with the enthusiasm that is only due our football team. Let our songs be more perfect than the foe's! Let the "Crimson and Blue" drown out his voice! Let our marching formations confuse his eye and excite his envy! Finally let us make our team win by the vim of the best yell on earth: Rock Chalk! Jay Hawk! K. U.!
There is one feature of the football games that take place here, that is a disgrace to the institution. It is the guying and making fun by the crowd of a man on the visiting team, who has been injured in the game. This trait is bad enough in the individual, but it is far worse when an organization like the University Band takes it up and plays such airs as: "Nearer My God to Thee" and "Just Break the News to Mother" when an unfortunate fellow is so badly exhausted that he cannot continue playing in the game. Let us stop this unsportsmanlike and barbarous custom and show the visiting teams every courtesy and consideration that we would show a guest in our own home.
"What makes the Laws love Judge Green so?"
The visitors do cry.
"Why Judge Green loves the Laws, you know."
The teacher did reply.
It matters not how well your clothes fit or how fine they are---if your tie is a back number, your shirt ill fitting and your collar wrong, your entire appearance is hooodooed and you're all wrong.
We give great care to our Haberdashery and the man who comes here for his"Fixins" can rest assured that he will wear only correct things.
The man who wears Correct Toggery is always admired.
The smartest and newest ideas are always seen here first.

A New Method of Recital.
The statement that musicians are born not made was further strengthened when Edward Baxter Perry, the blind pianist, gave his recital here last Wednesday evening. The music was presented in a new way, which doubled the interest in hearing it. Each number was a descriptive composition of some legend which Mr. Baxter recited before playing it. This description was most evident in Kammennoi, Ostrow No. 22, Rubenstein, in which a young man met a young lady, whose character was pictured by a left hand melody. Then the surroundings were represented, in the distance the ringing of a chapel bell, a conversation in the garden and finally the full magnificence of the chapel organ swelling and dying away in the distance.
935 Born in Kansas.
Sixty-eight per cent of the students in the University of Kansas were born in the State. The places of birth of the students indicate that the majority of the parents have immigrated from states along the same parallel of latitude, Missouri, Illinois, Ohio, Iowa, Nebraska, Indiana, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania showing the majority of birth places outside of Kansas.
