QUILL AN OLD-TIMER
Began in 1900—Will Publish Contest Stories—Has Famous Alumni
At the regular meeting of the Quill club last Thursday the prize stories and poems of the freshman and sophomore contest were read before the club and criticized. The prize winning stories will be published in the Spring number of the Oread magazine.
The freshman-sophomore contest is an established custom of the Quill Club. It has been maintained by the members of the club, inconsistently for a number of years. However, the last one proved so successful that the present club has taken steps to make the contest an annual event.
The Quill Club is one of the oldest organizations of its kind in the University. It was established during the spring semester of 1900 by some of the members of Professor Hopkins' class in Prose Invention who wished to continue their associations and the study of English composition. Before the end of the semester it was made a continuous organization with members elected from the junior class.
Among some of the best known are the names of Charles Edson of the Kansas City Star, Willard Wattles of poetic fame and Eileen David of the famous Miss Gale Gossett's poems are also well known to University students.
Since that time the membership roll has contained the names of many students whose work has proved them worthy of being called literary people. Owing to the misplacement of the early records a complete "honorable mention" list cannot be obtained.
At the next meeting of the club Tuesday May 20, Miss Helen Hoopes, Miss Lucy Barger and Earl Potter will furnish the program.

AND AFTER THE PADDLING, WHAT THEN?
AND AFTER THE
What will be the outcome of the freshman-sophomore class rivalry?
Some say that it will eventually lead to the re-establishment of the class scraps of ten years ago. The class scraps happened about twelve years ago.
It was a "first of May," and the scrap that had just been scrapped out was a bloody one. Chancellor Snow then put on a spell-binding speech in which he urged the students to put aside such barbarous tactics. His appeal went straight to the heart of every student, not because of the greatness of said appeal, but because it carried with it a promise from Chancellor Snow that if class scraps were ended each first of May thereafter should be a holiday.
"If class scraps are re-established," murmured a student this morning, "our May Hall will be gone." "Oh, shuckies!" returned another, "I'd rather have a good old class fight than a week's vacation."
Freshmen are wearing their caps today.

1913 COMMENCEMENT TO BE BIGGEST EVER
Letters Indicate Record Return of Alumni—Famous
'93ers Coming
Judging from all indications there will be more graduates of the University of Kansas on Mt. Oread during the 1913 commencement week than there have ever been. Dozens of letters are coming in from all over the country inquiring about commencement.
The class of '93, which is probably the most famous class of the '90's', is planning an elaborate reunion. This is the class that erected the totem pole over in front of the museum and first put out an expensive annual, incurring a deficit. The class classes whose years since graduation are divisible by five, will hold reunions.
Every member of the first class graduated, that of 73, will come back to Oread. They are all living, and successful. There are only four members; however, three from Harvard and one from Engineering Harris Murray was the lone engineer, and the others were Flora Colman, Ralph Collins and L. D. Tosh.
