Prof. Wilcox speaks in chapel.
There's nothing like a fine day to demonstrate the boundless advantages of co-education. The proof keeps piling up.
If K. U. students caught a Baker spy on Oread, they would remonstrate with him in a way he would distinctly remember to the end of his days.
It would have been gross disrespect to the father of his country not to have fittingly observed his birthday by abstinence from all school work.
C. L. Edson, of the Kansas City Star, who has been in newspaper work about two years gave a more practical talk to the newspaper class than some of the men who have been editors for twenty years.
When Professor Haworth told the class in beginning Geology that he was going to make that course harder than ever before they did not think he would make it so difficult that two members would faint in one morning.
The society people are having a strenuous time of it this week. Three fraternity parties are scheduled. It may not be known to most people that the formal annual fraternity party such as is given at Kansas University is a custom in no other college in this country.
Some people seem to be very much disappointed at the result of the Phi Beta Kappa election and are not a bit backward at giving voice to their disappointment. They should keep in good cheer because there are six people to be elected yet, and besides you know this year other things than grades were considered.
The tendency to make light of the significance of some of
the events of our national childhood, was exemplified in the position of the University council as to observing Washington's birthday. Granted that other of our presidents have been equally great characters, Washington personifies the spirit which fostered the nation. For that reason too much cannot be made of the representative man—the schools of the country should make the most of the tradition.

Baker Spy At Washburn.
At the preliminary to the Baker debate last Friday night occurred one of the most unfortunate affairs that could have happened. Mr. W. D. Green, of Baker, appeared at the debate and had to be requested to leave. He is, at present, president of the Baker debating council and was on the Baker preliminary on the same subject. Mr. Green made some very bad statements during the occurrence of the incident but we feel that it is merely just to Baker that these statements should not be published. Professor Towne twice asked him to go away and Professor Plass once remonstrated with him about his actions. President Plass told him that he could not afford to open himself to the charge of attempting to steal Washburn's argument whether or not it was his real intention. And further the presi-told him that he knew that President Murlin, of Baker, would not for an instant countenance such an action on the part of a Baker student if he was cognizant of the fact.—Washburn Review.
Benjamin F. Stelter, who was elected Phi Beta Kappa last week, left Sunday for Leavenworth to accept a position as head of the English department in the city high school. He has been doing some work towards his master's degree this year.

Would Make Them Mad.
The fainting of two girls in Professor Haworth's Geology Class Monday morning broke the monotony of life for a few minutes. Teacher and pupils were kept busy, and as the second one was carried out the jocund professor said: "Make the rest mad. I know of nothing better to keep people from fainting than to make 'em mad. Make 'em mad some way, I don't care how."
Mandolin Club in Missouri.
The Mandolin Club left Monday night on a trip to Missouri. They played to the girls at Hardin College, Mexico, last night. Tonight they will play at the University of Missouri, at Columbia. A concert may be arranged for Thursday night at Kansas City. We hope they will please Missouri as well as the Missouri boys pleased us.
