The County Fair was a success both from the point of view of the spectators and the lady at the box office.
Exit Captain Pooler, enter Captain Donald, a worthy successor in the line of Vincent, Brummage, Hicks and Pooler.
It is to be understood that when Mr. Harger advocated doing what one likes, he did not consider those whose only delight is in doing nothing.
The Minnesota Daily, referring to the charges made against Minnesota's method of getting athletes, comes out with this sweeping statement: "Even granting the veracity of all of Mr. Jordan's statements, it is plain that athletics at Minnesota are purer and cleaner than at any of her rival colleges." This may be true, but we see no reason for Minnesota assuma "Holier than Thou" attitude.
Why is it that so many B. U. students who attended the game at Kansas City Thanksgiving rooted for Kansas? Although Baker and K. U. are on the best of terms and aid each other in a contest of this kind, yet there is a healthful rivaly between the two schools that is most intense whenever they oppose each other in contests. Kansas had no better friend in this great game than Baker, yet when it comes our chance to clash with them in debate, oratory or athletics,Baker will oppose them with the same zeal that was expressed in the great Thanksgiving event. Baker Orange.
A fine feature of the contest for football captain was the good feeling prevailing between the candidates. Each had worked for the honor and each deserved it. As a prominent member of the 'Varsity said "it is too bad we can't give it to both of them". Brunner would probably have taken a more active command of the team on the field than the present captain but "Don" as he is familiarly known has done so much for the University that it would have seemed like ingratitude not to give him the place.
Plea$e Remember.
There i$ a little matter to which the Kan$an beg$ to call the attention of $ome of it$ $ub-

Perhaps you have already gue$$ed the drift of our remark$.
On Roman Character.
Professor Walter Dennison, of Michigan University, lectured in Blake Hall last night on Roman Life, under the auspices of the Kansas Archological department. Professor Dennison dwelt at length upon the great Roman historical character, Scipio. His portraits of the various characters showing the custom of those times were of special interest to the students of Roman History.

Hodder Edits New Book.
Frank Heywood Hodder, Professor of American History in the University of Kansas. has edited a new edition of "The Present State of the European Settlements on the Mississippi." The exceedingly rare work was issued in London, in 1770. and has been so much in demand by historical students and collectors of Americana, that even imperfect copies of the original are now almost impossible to obtain at any price. The value of the reprint is enhanced by the annotations by Professor Hodder, embodying the results of the latest researches in American historical geography.
