To New Students.
The Chancellor is glad to welcome through the Kansan the many new students who are now coming to the University. The University of Kansas desires their welfare and offers them all necessary opportunities for self development. It it hopes to receive in return that strong personal loyalty which all true college men ought to show to their alma mater. The Chancellor urges that they give their first consideration to the serious business of the University. It is not worth while to sacrifice the permanent for the temporary or to fail to accomplish the real purpose of four years of college life. He urges further that they keep a steady self-poise, especially during the first few months of their college residence. It will save them much chagrin and many errors. Self control is strength and self indulgence is weakness, and the University of Kansas desires its young men and women to be of the strongest and sanest type.
THE CHANCELLOR OF THE UNIVERSITY.
For two dollars, each member of the University will be entitled to free admission to all entertainments given by the student organizations during an entire year. This will include from eight to ten football games, ten or twelve basket ball games, twelve or fifteen baseball games and three or four track meets by the Athletic Association as well as one entertainment during the year by each of the other organizations or a total of almost fifty entertainments for two dollars or less than five cents each. Certainly no one could expect or wish to be entertained more cheaply than that. It really looks like getting something for nothing. Under the old scheme, a couple of good football games cost nearly as much. Consult your selfish interests and "dig up!"
Owing to the difficulty and expense of collecting our subscription bills at the end of the
year, the management has found it necessary to raise time subscriptions to $1.25 a year. Cash subscriptions will remain at the old figure, $1.00 a year.
Beginning with next Wednesday's issue, the Kansan will be delivered promptly by carriers to all parts of the student section of town. Please notify us of any errors in delivery after that time, and they will be corrected at once.
We are placing all members of the faculty on our subscription list at the beginning of this year, and wish every member of the teaching force to notify us at once of any failure to get the Kansan. After a few weeks
a canvass will be made of all faculty members who have not already paid their subscription, and if the paper has not been satisfactory, it will be stopped promptly. Until after a canvass of the faculty has been made, the subscription price will be one dollar, the same as for cash in advance. After the canvass, if any faculty member wishes his subscription to run to the end of the year, the price will be $1.25, the same as any other time subscription.
Ward C. McCroskey, a graduate of the University of Kansas and for several years principal of the Kansas City, Kansas, high school, has been elected principal of the Sumner county high
school to succeed Principal T. W. Butcher, also a graduate of the University and a Regent of that institution, who has been elected president of the Oklahoma State Normal at Edmond.

THE NEW
College Brand Clothes MADE IN NEW YORK CITY THE CLOTHES THAT KEEP MEN YOUNG ARE IN
NOT at all like any other clothes. Special in every way. Patterns that you won't find anywhere else—different sorts of coats and vests and differently shaped trousers.
ARE IN
Merchant tailoring you see—ready to put on. Really, though it's a better way of buying clothes than through the custom tailor shop, for, even granting that the tailor has the ability to conceive as good style as you find in College Brand Clothes, you don't have to bother with try-ons and alterations and guessing how a piece of cloth is going to look when it's made up-you won't have to wait and be delayed. And what is perhaps of more importance, you won't have to pay more than a part of what the merchant tailor asks, to make such garments to your individual order. Mighty few tailors can afford to employ cutters of such pronounced originality as the College Brand Clothes designers. The makers of these garments can afford to pay a tremendous price for their creative clothes builders. They can divide their wage among so many thousand suits that what costs most on each few pennies on any one College Brand suit.
suit in a small business, only amounts to a few pennies on any one College Brand suit. You never saw any clothes like these. They're chosen just to suit young fellows. The makers have not been afraid to go in for extreme ideas. They've built togs that will make
you stand out of the crowd. There is no crime against style so great as being commonplace. College Brand Clothes are proportioned differently than suits which have to please young men, middle-aged men, and grandfathers. Clothes intended to fit everybody, in the end fit nobody well.
College Brand Clothes are the only clothes in America intended just for young men, and for men who want to stay young. If you don't get them, you get something else, and the something else isn't worth while.
Sold at ready made prices.
