Summer Session of the University opens.
Nearly three hundred seniors leave the university in another week to take up the work that they have been fitting themselves for. The best wishes of the school go with them-may life be full of honors and honest work for them. Here's to their success.
A University Club properly organized could be made a powerful factor in shaping the attitude of the students on all important questions, and could be very effective in bringing the whole university to a responsible observation of the attitude of the right minded in those things.
Along with a lot of other things, the first University Day has passed, and if current expression is to be trusted, in is in a fair way to be incorporated in the body of traditions of the university. The men who spoke did not astound with oratory, nor did they attempt it. They talked, and talked sense. The sentiments expressed by them can in a general way be subscribed to by the whole university.

For one preeminent reason the idea of a non-factional University Club would be the best thing that could be introduced into the life of the institution. That is that the men do not properly appreciate the other fellow's worth. There are only a few snobs on the hill, and the "rough-necks" are correspondingly scarce. There are many who have the reputation of one or the other who do not at all deserve it. The Club would wipe out a lot of that sort of thing, and for that reason it is a worthy project.
Some of the things in connection with the management of the baseball team this week look rather queer to the average student—very much like rank politics in fact. There are sometimes and places when a political contest is all right, if it is conducted right. It does seem, however, that a man who is a member of a university team of any kind which fixes the comparison of the university with other schools, should make that his first concern, and not subordinate it to petty interests of a fractional part of the institution.
The publication of the Kansan for this year closes with this issue, and another period in the journalistic development of the University becomes a matter of history. The Kansan has had
its faults this year, no one is more willing to admit it than the management. But it is not with a hopeless, hang-dog expression that we say it—just the contrary. The new order of things has not yet had time to develop, and the history of these last two years in which it has had its inception and a fair measure of development, gives promise of better conditions when the system has time to firmly and fully establish itself. The present management will be continued next year, and with only the changes that a few months of apprenticeship has shown necessary, the policy will be the same. Here's to the past, and may the next year be nothing but an improvement.
A Good Record.
Out of thirty-two games played this season, Kansas has won 19, tied 1, and lost 12. On McCook the boys lost four games—two to Missouri and one each to Manhattan and Drury. The tie game was played with Nebraska on April 13th. Two games were lost to Galveston, which does not count since the latter team is a professional one. The best game ever played by a K.U.team was played at St.Marys for the state championship and only losing on an error. On the whole, the university can well be proud of her boys.
