TO OUR ATHLETES. To the men who have sacrificed their time and energy to make a record for Kansas on the athletic field, oftentimes without a word of praise or appreciation from the institution, this number of the Kansan is dedicated. The Christmas season is one of the most interesting and joyful of the year. It is especially so for University students, for they then visit home and friends and enter upon a purely holiday season. It is both a secular and a religious occasion, and carries us back not only to the early customs of our race, but also to the origin of our religious beliefs. It ought furthermore to be a time of special loyalty to the University which we represent. Students may well stop to consider the real debt that they owe to the spirit of the institution whose life they partake of. Just at this time it is especially necessary that the loyalty of the students of the University show itself in action, and in enthusiastic endeavors to place the institution in the right light before their home communities and the people that represent these communities in the legislature. Let no selfish motives prevent our taking all the trouble that may be necessary for the furtherance of the interests of the University. Let us familiarize ourselves with the situation and the needs of the University, that we may speak of them with intelligence and authority. As Chancellor of the University, and its representative, I wish for the students a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. FRANK STRONG, Chancellor. The Kansan takes pleasure in presenting this special athletic number to its readers, and wishes all a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Let us remember as we go home for the annual vacation that there is a good word we can say for the University; that a step in the wrong direction can undo the conscientious effort of a dozen men. Let us consider that for the time being we are all engineers, and are out to let people know that we must have the new building. MISSOURI WAS ENTHUSIASTIC. The presentation of David Garrick at Columbia Monday evening was a pronounced success, and was voted the best play seen in the town for two or three years. The members of the cast were royally entertained while at Columbia, and were given a good audience in spite of counter attractions. The Pi Phis gave a reception after the play for the members of the cast. Delighted with Masquers' Presentation of David Garrick. The Annual "Scrimmage." The Law school gave the annual "scrimmage" for the football men in F. A. A. hall last night.
