The laws will be lonesome now the baby incubator case is decided.
Honest now, did you ever find the late magazine you wanted over at the library?
If we were a football coach of the "big nine"we would begin to look for another job.
Don't some of the professors run this quiz business into the ground? We know of one freshman that had eighteen examinations this last week. A wooden man couldn't stand such an ordeal as that without showing considerable wear and tear. Some professors act as though they thought the keeping of their positions depended on the length, hardness and number of their examinations.
Buy of the men down town who support the University and its enterprises. Buy of the men who advertise in the Lawyer, The Kansan and other University publications, not simply because they advertise in these mediums of student life, but because they are the men who are the true friends of the students. The man who advertises the heaviest is the man who, if a student gets in trouble will head a movement to get him out of it, while the man who hardly gives a civil answer to an advertising solicitor is the man who, when no students are present, talks about the license given college men and the baneful effects of students upon a town. Trade with the friends of the University; they deserve your support.
15 YEARS AGO.
Items from the Kansan of 1890 About People Now Famous.
The first number of the University Kansan was issued Sept. 16, 1890. Its editor was J. Frank Craig, now cashier of a bank in South McAllister, Indian Territory. Herbert Hadley, attorney general of Missouri, was one of the associate editors. The following are
Chas. W. Gleed went to Texas Monday.
some of the locals taken from the file of 1890:
Prof. Blackmar's class did not recite Monday.
Prof. Wilcox has the influenza.
The Phi Psi sleighing party had a breakdown.
Chapel attendance is small and getting smaller.
Prof. Dunlap gave the freshmen a talk Wednesday on literary societies.
Miss Watson agains holds tyrannical sway over the library and reading room.
Prof. Blackmar failed to meet his classes Wednesday.
The following extract from a letter received last summer from Prof. F. H. Snow, one of the party encamped in Colorado, will undoubtedly prove interesting reading: "We all attended a campfire at Sprague's ranch last Friday night. Our K. U. boys and girls entertained the eastern tourists by singing the University songs under W. S. Franklin's leadership. After the campfire we had a dance. It was a notable dance. The participants were: Misses Franklin and Heming, of Iowa, Jennie and Helen Sutliff and Messrs. Hadley, Kellogg, Brewster, Funston and W. S. Franklin. It was a killing sight (and sound) to watch Hadley and Funston attempt the light fantastic with heavy hob-nailed nailed shoes. The landlady hastily hunted up some slippers and Hadley was in his element at once, but Funston's slippers were so large they kept coming off, when the landlady came to the rescue by producing a pair of her own, garters to fasten them on. But one of these broke almost immediately and Funston had to give it up.
