We print on the first page a picture of the men Baker will send here to try their strength in debate next week. They are strong men, and Baker is counting on showing her faith in them with a big crowd to support them. It is up to us to show them what support is like. Remember the 21st.
Kansas meets a worthy foe in Nebraska this week, and the dope sheet is pretty well balanced as to the outcome. We have the stuff that makes a winning team, but they have to match strength with a foe worthy their steel. It is the opening of the real schedule, and the outcome will be watched with no little interest.
Several men connected with the University have been finding fault with some of the lectures that have been brought to the University this year, on account of their dry, technical character. The objection is good. University students are as intelligent as the average man, but they are not specialists in any large degree, and they demand a class of lectures that will be comprehensible to the average man. University lectures should be in a measure popular in character.
The hatchet has long been buried, and on Thursday the pipe of peace will be brought into action for the first time since the war. Kansas and Nebraska will meet in an athletic contest for the first time in three years on Thursday and Friday of this week, and the sister institutions will reap the first fruits of reconciliation. The Cornhuskers are as welcome as they ever were, and we will do all in our power to make the meeting both pleasant and interesting.
There is an opportunity and a need for a league of Missouri Valley universities to regulate athletic matters, and there is a general sentiment in favor of such an organization. The colleges and universities of this
section of the country are not going to accept the eastern regulations for football next year, and if some such action is not taken there will be as many sets of rules as there are teams playing. Why not a league of Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and such schools in those states as are of proper standing, with Arkansas and South Dakota thrown in for good measure?
CLEARED $315
Receipts of Music Fsstival Were a Surprise.
According to figures given out by Mr. Folks this morning, the music festival cleared more than three hundred dollars. The receipts were $1195 and the approximate expense $880, leaving $315 to the good. The large seat sale on Saturday afternoon and night added to an unexpected success of the ticket sales for season tickets account for the additional profit above the amount printed in the Kansan last Saturday.
Mrs. W. A. Barry, who has been visiting her daughter Bernice for several days returned Monday to her home at Belle Plaine, Kansas.
Caramel Sundaes at Wiedemann's.
The most absent minded student on the hill has been discovered. A young man on whose lip the down of approaching manhood has but lately made its appearance threw himself into the barber's chair at the foot of the hill the other day, and was immediately lost in abtruse speculation—or in dreams of some co-ed. The barber, following the line of least resistance, gave him a shave. When the operation was over the young man rose from the chair and tendered in payment the only quarter he had. When the barber handed back fifteen cents, he woke with a start and stammered, "Why-er-I thought I was getting a haircut. That's what I came here for." Then he faded out of the shop, minus ten cents and nothing else that you could notice.

The course covering four years begins during the last week in September and continues until June. A preliminary training in natural science is of great advantage. All the classes are divided in small sections for recitations, laboratory and clinical bedside instruction. Students are admitted to advanced standing after passing the requisite examinations. The successful completion of the first year in any college or University recognized by the Regents of the State of New York as maintaining a satisfactory standard is sufficient to satisfy the requirements for admission which have lately been raised. The annual announcement giving full particulars will be mailed on application.
