WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 10. 1906
On one of the fifteen hundred homes represented at the University of Kansas rests the gloom of an awful sorrow. While mothers and fathers send back their sons and daughters with godspeeds and loving farewells, one mother and one father have said their last goodby to a noble son. He was young and it was Christmas. Youth and holidays! Could death have come when less wanted or expected, or chosen a victim on whom it had less claim? The heart of every student and of every parent whose son or daughter is in the University feels and shares in sympathy the grief of Mr. and Mrs. C.W. Fairchild at the most untimely death of their son Marshall.
It is in order in this, the first number of the new year, to scan the year that is past and see wherein we may profit from our failures and successes. The Kansan begins the year 1906 with a larger subscription list and more paid advertising than any other student paper ever issued by the University of Kansas. There are fourteen people on the Kansan board, and a more zealous and earnest working body never served on a college publication. They have made the Kansan what it is. They have not covered the news field entirely, but they have done it as thoroughly as it is possible for students to do and carry the required amount of college work. They are as representative a body of students as could be gotten together, and their motto is, the University first and the Kansan second. The editor, business manager, and board of the Kansan thank the faculty and students of the University for the support they have given the paper during the past year, and hope to merit irs continuance.
The resuming of athletic relations with Nebraska is a happy ending to an unfortunate affair. Our representatives
speak nothing but good of the treatment accorded them at the sister institution, and come back with a higher regard for Nebraska and the men who control her athletics. If our contests on the gridiron are as satisfying as the result of the conference was, Kansas and Nebraska are truly entering upon a new lease of friendship. Nor is there any reason why they should not be. Neither institution was guiltless in the acts preceding the breach. Nebraska was probably arrogant, and Kansas may have acted hastily and untimely. But that belongs to history; let us rejoice that we are once more on good terms with an institution that is our natural rival. We should not forget to give the credit to the present athletic board for bringing this about. The present athletic board has much fo be proud of. It stands higher in the estimation of the students than any like council for years past. It has been a unit and has not wasted its time in factional quarrels and personal intrigues.
Professors Ida H. Hyde and C. E. McClung of the University of Kansas attended the annual meeting of the American Physiological Association at Ann Arbor, Michigan, December 27 to 29. Nearly every university in the United States was represented. Professor Hyde read a paper giving the details of her recent physiological experiments in the laboratories of the University of Kansas.
