The most difficult thing in life is to keep the heights which the soul has achieved.
THE TURNING POINT
One thousand freshmen is a conservative estimate for the University of Kansas to look forward to welcoming. The seniors of four hundred high schools are now planning either to remain at home and choose a humble occupation or to go to college and advance rapidly in any profession they select after graduation.
The point with most of the students is what college shall the student attend? The University of Kansas offers many advantages for the student who wants to train the hand to serve the mind. In the first place the number of courses offered will fit any one for almost any walk in life. The second thing that will attract the attention of the prospective student is the equipment. The third consideration is the instructors, who are the best in their line that can be secured.
The world is ceasing to laugh at the college graduates as they are making fast progress in the business world. Statistics show that fifty per cent more graduates are in the business world than were twenty years ago. Each state that educates its citizens saves millions. The University of Kansas has a great mission to perform in educating Kansas young men and women, and it has always been true to that trust. The same warm welcome, as in former years since 765 will be given to all who come to this institution in the fall.
"The Battle of the Books"—in pre-
paring for quiz week will be some-
thing Swift never dreamed of.
It is indicated that the speeches on Class Day will be short. But will this give the young Patrick Henry's a chance to display the oratory that they have been working so hard on for the last few months?
A LA PLAYER
Always refuse to sing when asked.
Say you are out of practice, as you have not touched the piano for two months. You might save a cold—singers always have colds or sore throats. You might sneeze a time or two just to show you are in earnest.
After you have been sufficiently coaxed, reluctantly consent, put on a do or die air and after regulating the piano stool-seat yourself with much care. Turn the music through carefully and run your hand
over the keys. Shrug perceptibly so the audience will know you disapprove of the piano and then begin; with a crash and a bang; loud pedal down—your audience will probably enjoy it.
MODEST REQUIREMENTS
A student showed a librarian a list of about twenty books for reference work in "Elementary Sociology" and wanted a book that would cover all of it in one chapter.
REFORMING CHAPEL
Why not try a new system of chapel exercises?
If next year, we could have two chapels a week, perhaps more students would attend. The present system of two long, and three short chapel exercises, does not seem to be as popular with the student as it should be. If on two days there could be good addresses that would take twenty minutes and some good music, perhaps chapel would interest more of the students. As it is at present the speakers have such a short time to speak that their addresses are merely a synopsis of the remarks that they wish to give. It is to be hoped that another year
It is to be hoped that another year a plan will be found by which all students may be led to feel an interest in chapel exercises.
A SUCCESSFUL SEASON
The baseball season is closed and the Missouri Valley Championship is won for the first time.
The season has been a success in every way. Not all the games have been won, but that is a minor consideration. Great credit is due Coach Frank, for his skillful management of the team and much praise is due all the men who have worked so hard to put the team at the head of the percentage column.
WOMAN DOMINANT IN FICTION One of the literary critics is moved to indignation, because the literature of today is a study of women. This critic sees the novel denounced unless it can escape from the binding apron-string. It is not so much that the novel is being feminized as it is that the sex is advancing into the place that the men have left vacan for them. This is why, for the hour at least, woman is dominant in fiction.
If this critic feels he must read books about men let him return to the eighteenth century, where he will always have "Tristam Shandy" in nine volumes. Again, there is Fielding's "Tom Jones," Richardson's "Sir Charles Grandison," and Defoe's "Robinson Crusoe." If the apparent feminization of the novel causes indignation why trouble to读 it, when the back numbers have just the right kind of stories!
STUDENT OPINION
The recent election of a new president for the College move one to say something which I know has been the subject of the thoughts of many men in the College for sometime. It is this: why can't the members of the College have some sort of virile organization such as the Engineers and the Laws have? Why can't we have a "College Day" similar to "Engineers' Day?" Here we are, the largest school in the University, and one of the most important, with no spirit or unity at all. Hitherto, the only duty of the president of the College has been to preside at the meeting which elects his successor. Lets have some "pep" in the College. What will the new organization do?
Professor from the East-What is it you say when you wish to use corn in the collective sense, pitch corn?

BY K. U. POETS
To you the goblets clink,
Greeks pledged to Greek we drink;
and I shall be wary.
That binds our hearts in one Long mystic flame shall dance 'Neath warm fraternal glance, Till life's last set of sun.
THE GREEKS

MY LOVE.
Her face lights up with happy smile.
Her thoughts, I know, are free from guille.
And in her heart dwells n'eer a wile;
No need to fear her.
My arms enfold her, sweet and fair,
Fall off I’ve kissed her,
While o’er my shoulder fall her hair
In golden ringlets, rich and rare
My baby sister.
— Solan T. Gilmore,
A, R. ‘66, J. L., B. ’88
WHISPERING A SECRET
Her lips were so red
*Twas in vain to resist them*
I forgot what she said.
Her lips were so red.
With head close to head,
Who wouldn't have kissed them?
Her lips were so red
*Twas in vain to resist them*

Variety;
We've nought but studying to do,
And not a vice but piety,
But piety

ONE AFTERNOON IN WINTER
Steps he forward, like a hero;
Flash her eyes, his heart's at zero;
How the bitter cold doth bite!
Move his lips, but scarce a lisp, ere
Words are frozen to a whisper—
How the blasting blizzard smites!
MORAL
A killing frost will sometime quench a vealy youth.
D. H. Robinson.
Formerly Professor of Latin at K. U.
WHO'S WHO AT K. U.
One of the new courses to be given during the Summer Session is a course on the modern drama, and the translations to be used will be from Gilbert Murray and Percy Mac Kaye. The fact the Coburn Players use the same translations should lend an added attraction to this course.
