THE STADIUM SITE
McCook Field, the site selected for the new stadium, was the gift to the University of Colonel John J. McCook, a prominent lawyer of New York City. Colonel McCook was a commencement guest at Mount Orem in 1801, and after witnessing a baseball game on a field at Fourteenth and Massachusetts streets, donated $2500
Two rites were considered, one on Tennessee street, and one the present McCook Field. A faculty committee selected the present site, and named it in honor of the donor. Colonel McCook also financed the building of the first bleachers, which were capable of seating one thousand spectators. Before the site was used for athletic contests, much grading was done to level off the field, which sloped to the east.
In honor of Colonel McCook, the colors of the University were changed at this time from corn-pellow and sky-blue, to crimson and blue. The crimson was taken from Harvard, and the blue from Yale, the latter being Colonel McCook's alma mater.
FACULTY INDIFFERENCE
FACULTY INDIFFERENCE
Where were the faculty at the Student's Day Convocation Wednesday morning? The entire teaching body was represented by about eight or ten members. When "Dutch" Weddell called for all faculty members to raise their hands, the arms in the air were about as pleniful as the proverbial hen's teeth. It was a thing to be ashamed of.
The convocation this morning was not a mere child's play but an earnest and thoroughly constructive meeting The program was not given over to saying more or less unpleasant things about the faculty, but was spent in suggesting and discussing plans for the betterment of the school as a whole.
What would we think if the Chancellor called a convocation and about a half dozen students appeared? The cases are absolutely comparable.
The Agricultural College, our state rival—dedicated an hour out of each morning for three school days last week for a student and faculty convocation. These convocations were for the purpose of starting a big drive to secure eighteen hundred New Agies next fall. The meetings were called by the president, but the extra half hour on the convocation Wednesday was begrudged to us.
The talk by Mr. H. Merle Smith, representing the Kansas City alumni, was worthy of being listened to by anyone interested in the University
and its needed improvements. It was full of practical ideas and inspiration, but the carrying out of these ideas is almost hopeless when our leaders are cynically indifferent.
KEEP THE OLD STANDARD
In most of the national issues which have been for a decided improvement of moral conditions our state has been one of the leaders. Kansas is credited with being for every thing that seemingly will make better conditions but the University has failed to keep up the reputation for the state. It is a shame that students from other universities, Texas for example, should be able to come here and say that the cheating which goes on at examination time is a disgrace to the school and why doesn't the University have an honor system. Are we absolutely powerless as students of the University of Kansas to stop this practice and start a decently, honorable situation at quiz time. Everyone consulted agrees it should be done but lack of support will never put it across.
Many are ready to say that it does not always work satisfactorily and in some schools it is a complete failure, but in far more schools it is its working well and is helping to create a higher type of personal responsibility for the student body. What is the matter with the good red blood of Kannas young people that they can not or should not make it work. Certainly they have not lost faith with themselves, and each other.
There is something decidedly wrong with a body of people as independent as our student body is which will say "Yes there is wolf in the fold but really it is too big a job to put him out."
This is a question which is worthy to be carried home in the mind of every student and while he is planning for his next year put some thought on the proposition and realize how much the honor system will do for the University and then plan to come back and fight honestly and wholeheartedly for the something that will do the University and every student in it inappropriate good.
AN OLDER HEAD
The announcement that manager for the Million Dollar Drive to be conducted by the University will in all probability be selected from the Alumni of the University, is enthusiastically greeted by the students. An older man to guide the fortunes of the biden drive is needed a man who
is as familiar with the needs of the University as any student regularly enrolled today. With such a man at the head of the plan, whole hearted support can be assured from the student body.
According to the present plan, the Alumni Day speaker will also be the manager of the drive. This arrangement has many good features, not the least of which is that it will give the manager a chance to explain the details of the drive to the alumni and this year's graduating class when they are together.
Before making their selection, the committee should consider all possible candidates choosing the one who, in their opinion, can best bring success 'o the drive.
