A BIT OF OUR MIND.
The new student has probably found out by this time that what is required of him at the University is to do good work. He may not be able to do brilliant work, but such is not expected of him. Conscicientious endeavor to do one's best never let a man "flunk" yet, and never will. But students have been known to fail several times before they attained to that conscicientious endeavor. It behooves the new student, therefore, to stick close to his work and make a good beginning. If he does this he will never regret it.
We here insert a word, of warning, perhaps, to some; of encouragement, we hope, to many. Through your whole course be thorough students. During the four years you will spend here you will have time to become accurate as well as well-read scholars. Above all, then, be studious. The man who works steadily at his task for four years will at the end of that time be, everyway, in advance of him who has turned his gigantic intellect toward college politics and newspaper work mainly, or whose fine features and ineffable form have drawn him into the giddy whirl of fashionable society.
Most of our life has been spent watching ball games, so we know whereof we speak. Base ball is the national game, but it can hardly be said to be domesticated among our University sports. An expedient is being tried, however, which bids fair to be successful in a measure. The games are now played by clubs, both composed of University men, so that whoever is defeated, University men win. This plan must be the product of some fertile brain. The boys played the Indians Saturday afternoon.
WATCH for the next issue of the Kansan. We shall probably have something new and vital to say on the subject of literary societies, and in the course of our remarks we may touch lightly and tenderly on the gymnasium. We have not yet decided whether to embody this in an editorial, a "view," or what not. At any rate watch and be faithful, for ye, know not what the hour nor the way in which we shall present the subject to you.
THERE is a good deal of complaint heard from students about the confusion of hours and days for recitation. One man reports one study three times a week, another study once a week, two or three other studies engaged in the exasperating business of alternating,and another study half a time a week. He is said to be sinking to-day, pulse feebler.
The incessent ringing of the electric bells all over the building, unless stopped, will so work upon the editors of this paper that they will have to take refuge in a patience peculiarly their own and not like that of Job, who was "too mad to cuss," though advised to do so.
Some one has spoken to us this week insinuating that the province and influence of the weekly college paper are not very extensive. We pitied him and said nothing. If this should come into his hands he will know what we think.
ANCE.
SOME OFFICIAL UTTER
The responsibility of managing and editing a great paper like the Kansau is no child's play. To carefully keep posted as to the gymnasium and to maintain the literary societies against all comers is almost more than the strength of any board of editors can bear. Every week the associate editors (the editor-in-chief and local editors play cards exclusively) must think the best thought on the most important subjects end present it in the most entertaining form possibll. What reward have they? On earth they have non but the proud consciousness of having told the truth fearlessly, and of having satisfied the intense longing of the student for good literature. What reward, do you ask, have the business managers? Unquestionably they have the "comps."
LAW AND MUSIC.
A sidewalk will be completed connecting the old University building with the present main building. When this is built, we hope many of our students will pay the Laws a visit in their new quarters. A day or so ago, in company with a friend, a KANSAN representative, having prudently waited till the last lawyer had vacated, inspected the rooms of the Law and Music departments.
The old building has undergone an entire renovation. The walls have been replastered and painted a delicate pink color. Everywhere there is an entire air of freshness and neatness—not inappropriate, perhaps. The Law department occupies the first floor, where it has ample space for library and reading purposes as well as for several very capacious lecture rooms.
A word would not be out of place here about our Law school. We think it is not appreciated as it should be. There is no reason whatever why a Kansan should leave the state to study law elsewhere. The Law department of the University can give a man as much legal training as any school can. Here are the books. Here is an able corps of instructors. And here is an earnest and aspiring body of students many of whom have already had some experience in actual practice in the courts. With these facilities any studious man may obtain as much knowledge of law here as he can anywhere.
To turn now to the Music department. Of this we are not competent to speak so authoritively. The second story in which this school is situated is as yet not fully finished nor occupied. We prophecy, however, that under the direction of Prof. Penny our department of music will be among the bestin the west.
THE SEMINARY.
We would call the attention of all students, new and old, to the bulletin of the Seminary of Historical and Political Science, posted a few days ago. By all means avail yourselves of the opportunity to attend the meetings of this society. They are open to all and no one ever goes who does not return again if possible. Moreover, those connected with the Seminary as active or associate members have an excellent opportunity of distinguishing themselves by preparing original papers on subjects of history and politics. The presentation of these papers forms the regular program of the society. The criticism of the papers by Prof. Canfield and Blackmar, however, is by far the most interesting feature of the meetings. From time to time, also, corresponding members of the Seminasy, prominent men of the state, will present papers on subjects with which they are especially acquainted. We know of no society in the University more worthy of the hearty cooperation and en couragement of the students than the Seminary.
A TIMELY HINT.
We have observed in certain individuals who are accustomed to come to class unprepared to recite, a disposition to express a hearty approval of whatever the instructor may say about the subject in hand. The motive leading to such expression we know not. Perhaps it is that the instructor may be encouraged in his life-work, or that he may know that there is another soul-hungering and thirsting after knowledge and placing the search for truth before all else. Actuated by whatever motive, however kind, we notice that such individuals often fare harshly at the hands of the instruciors, who can readily see through the veil of sham and detect the naked ignorance behind. To such individuals we offer this advice, couched in vulgar but expressive terms, "keep your head closed."
MR. RUSSEL R. WHITMAN has been compelled by the pressure of other work, notably his successful rustling for the University lecture, to retire from the position of Editor-in-Chief of this paper. Mr. Malcolm McKinnon has been elected to take his place. Our readers need not utterly dispair, however, for Mr. Whitman will continue to contribute occasion article to the columns of the KANSAN.
