Is it design or accident which defers the opening of the University for a week after the birth of the New Year's resolutions? It must be the hand of Providence that so fixes the calendar. What might not be the crop of nervous breakdowns and brain wrecks if it came a week earlier!
The campaign by students of the University for the engineering building which was carried on so generally during vacation will be productive of much good to the institution aside from the influence it may have with the present legislature. It shows that University students have a deep and active interest in the welfare of the school. That interest is bound to spread and to communicate itself to others.
The Lawrence ice cream joints got the following free boost in the last number of the Baker Orange: The secretary of the state board of health has made public the results of a test made of the ice-cream sold in eight cities of the state. Of these, only that sold in Lawrence met the requirements. When you go to Lawrence, then, you can be sure of eating pure ice-cream.
One of those ever recurring mishaps that helps to give ye editor the hungry, haunted look by which the genus is known, played The Kansan a sad trick in the issue of the Football number. By a very regrettable oversight in making up, the paragraph which should have accompanied Sidney Milton's picture was omitted. Milton is one of the pluckiest centers that ever passed the ball on a Missouri Valley team, and too much could not have been said of the energy he puts into the game. Only his light weight kept him out of the race for a position on the Missouri Valley team.
