If you have friends in high school who are going to college soon, send them a few copies of the special number of the Kansan and interest them in the athletic doings of the University.
The presentation of David Garrick by the Masquers deserves much more than mere passing praise. It is by all odds the most creditable thing the dramatic club has given for some time, if indeed not the best ever given. The individuals of the cast displayed more than average ability, and compared favorably with professional players.
The action of the Y. M. C. A. in giving the dinner to the football men is another indication of the new policy the organization is following. It is becoming very practical in its methods, and is going to be a remarkable power among the men by reason of this new attitude. It can no longer be said that the Y. M. C. A. is "narrow." It has been said in the not very distant past.
Too much stress cannot be placed upon the suggestion made by Chancellor Strong in chapel yesterday morning. Much depends upon the impression State authorities get of us; if the last chapel service does not mean enough of itself, the practical considerations should crowd the chapel next Friday. Come to the last service and let us give Governor Hoch an impression that should be at least fair to the University and the spirit of the students who make it.
As the Christmas holidays are approaching and the students are preparing to go home they are again called upon to show their loyalty to the University and plead her cause in their home towns. This time it is the cry of the poor engineers who at the present time are being buffetted from one side of the campus to the other. For six years the University has been in need of a special engineering building. Two years ago the situation reached the critical stage and we asked for a building but our request was refused. Now the situation is alarming and unless something is done in the near future the progress of the University, not only as far as the engineering school is concerned but the college as well, must stop on account of lack of recitation rooms.
It is the duty, therefore, of every student of the University, whether he is an engineer or not, when he goes home for the holidays to make it a point to call upon the members of the State legislature or upon men who are in touch with them and set forth in positive terms the condition, the rapid growth and the absolute necessities of the University.
Christmas Choral Service.
One of the most important religious and musical events for some time will occur Sunday (to-morrow) afternoon at 4:30 in the chapel. A large chorus under the direction of Professor Hubach has been training patiently for several weeks and is ready to do something fine. The address will be given by the Rev. C. P. Conolly, who gave the baccalaureate sermon so acceptably some years ago. He is one of the strongest preachers in this part of the country. Every student should come out to this service. The program of the service follows:
Overture, Organ.
Comfort Ye, Recitative for Tenor. Responsive Reading, Page 37. Hymnal.
Pastoral Symphony, Organ.
There were shepherds abiding in the field; And the angel said unto them; And suddenly there was with the angel, Recitative for Soprano.
He shall feed His flock, Aria for Soprano.
Glory to God, Chorus.
Praver.
Scripture Reading, St. Luke, II:
8-20.
He was despised, Aria for Alto.
Address by the Rev, C. P. Conolly.
Hallelujah, Chorus.
Largo, Violin and Organ.

The scientific exhibition to be held at the American Museum of Natural History during Christmas week, under the auspices of the New York Academy of Sciences, promises to be the largest and most important in the history of sciences in this country. The purpose of the exhibition is to collect and demonstrate at one time and place, objects showing the most recent development and advances in the different departments of science. An apparatus of especial interest to physicians and physiologists, designed by Dr. Hyde, will be sent to represent the Laboratory of Kansas University at this exhibition.
