OUB BOW.
The newly elected staff of the Kansan greets you, with this, its first issue. It shall be the aim of the staff to make the Kansan worth reading and a credit to the University it represents, and in order to do so, it solicits the interest and cooperation of the student body.
The special sphere of the Kansar will be that of the newspaper pure and simple, and while we shall try and print articles of as high a literary standard as is possible, yet as stated the, main purpose will be to present and comment on the news as it happens from week to week. In all our work we shall try and reflect the spirit and purpose of the whole student-body and to labor earnestly for every thing which may tend to advance the interests of the University. We shall treat all questions in as fair a light as we can and hope to merit the confidence and esteem of our readers.
*
In order to have a fair discussion of University questions the Kansan will publish each week under the head of "Views" an article from some Professor or representative student. The topics will not be limited but the fair and earnest discussion of all questions is desired. We shall, however, reserve the right to comment on and criticise all such articles.
共 和
The staff of the Kansan is organized for work. Mr. E. P. Allen will have charge of the local page and any courtesies extended him will be appreciated. The associate editors, who will assist the editor and local editor in their respective duties, are Laura Lockwood, Eleanor Humphrey, Eleanor Blaker, H.A.Peairs, W.A.Snow, Paul Hudson, H.L.Armstrong and Fred L.Diggs. It is intended to divide up the work more than has been done heretofore, and better results should be obtained.
\* \*
Messrs. Lutz and Peabody will do the business rustling and we can recommend them to the business men as energetic and reliable workers.
We should also like to call the attention of our readers to the advertisements in the Kansan as they are all from reliable business houses with whom it is a pleasure to trade.
Although 1889-90 did not see any such exciting contests as those in which the base ball pennant was wrested from Washburn two years ago, none the less it has been a red letter year.
THE UNIVERSITY ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION.
For the first time in our history there has been made a systematic attempt to develop general interest in athletic sports and effect a permanent organization of an athletic association. A large number of serious students, together with a few professors, who believed in turning out all around men from the University—not mere intellectual
machines—joined in the formation of a University athletic association. The association consists of all the students of the University, but acts through an executive board, consisting of six members chosen in mass meeting and two more from each organized athletic interest. There are represented at present tennis, foot ball, base ball and rowing.
The association last year accomplished much—this year it will accomplish more. Let every student feel his responsibility and do what he can to promote the success of athletics in K. S. U. Let every student do his share and we will soon have the finest athletic grounds in the west, a fine base ball club, champion tennis players, oarsmen and a foot ball team that can compete with any college.
THE UNIVERSITY LECTURE COURSE.
The success of the lecture course last year has fully demonstrated that the students of the University and the citizens of Lawrence feel the need of and will patronize a good course of lectures. A number of our students have therefore taken the responsibility of engaging some of the best attractions on the platform stage, for a series of lectures and entertainments to be given during the school year. The following are the attractions engaged:
George Kennan, the Siberian traveler, who was liked here so well last year, for another of his great lectures. The lecture he will deliver this year is said to be the most masterful effort he has yet made.
Henry George, who will deliver one of his lectures on the land questions of the day. Mr. George is said to be a powerful speaker, direct and forcible and full of magnetism.
The Lotus Glee Club of Boston, one of the very best before the public.
Leland J. Powers, the great impersonator who charmed such large audiences at the Ottawa assembly last summer, will produce his impersonations from David Copperfield.
Dr. F. W. Gunsalus, the noted Chicago divine, who appeared at the Ottawa assembly, will give his lecture on "A Chapter in the History of Liberty."
The Imperial Quartette of Boston, will appear in mandolin, banjo and guitar selections.
James Whitcomb Riley, with one of his charming and witty lectures, completes the list, which will make the best course for the money ever arranged for in this city. The course costs over $1,000.00. The course tickets will be sold for $2.50 each, making parquette seats cost a little over 35 cents for each entertainment. In order to make the course pay at so small a price a large number of tickets will have to be sold, and every student should recognize the benefits of such a course and lend his active support.
The University year 90'91 has opened most auspiciously. It was feared that owing to the fact that another year had been dropped from the sub-Freshman year and that in large portions of the state crops had been poor, that the attendance might not be as large as was hoped. The fears have proved ill-founded. The enrollment now numbers 360, about the same as last year at this time. The law department does not begin until next week, when it is confidently expected that seventy-five law students will be present. These with the students who are entering daily will bring the enrollment up to nearly 500, and before the year is over it will equal if not exceed that of last year. An equal attendance means a large growth in the real prosperity of the institution.
PROSPECTUS.
Not only will the attendance be as large but the students are better fitted for University work. There will be but about fifty in the subfreshman class this year to 138 last year.
This will make the largest collegiate enrollment in the history of the University. One hundred and ten students are admitted from the high schools and colleges of the state on certificates, a much larger number than ever before. Students have entered here from Baker, Washburn, Garfield University Campbell University, St. John's Academy, Lewis Academy, Drury College, Mo., and Ottawa University. Most of these students have entered the higher classes to take studies they were unable to pursue elsewhere. One young man enters the Junior year to take higher mathematics, which he could not get any where else in the state. The large cities of the state all send more students than ever before. Leavenworth, which has always been slow to send students here, sends a delegation of eleven this year. The advancement has not only been in the regular collegiate classes, but in the different departments as well. The Junior Pharmacy class numbers twenty-five, larger than ever before. Prof. Sayre feels highly gratified at the increased attendance and says that the students are much better prepared than heretofore. There are more students in the preparatory medical course than ever before. The enrollment in the music department is about fifty and will be largely increased in the next few days. The law and art departments will also have a large attendance, and the students will be advanced standing.
It is highly gratifying to feel that the University is taking its proper place as an institution of higher learning in the state. With Chancellor Snow at its head, an efficient faculty and board of regents the University will more and more merit the confidence and approval of the people of the state and become not only a center of influence and learning in Kansas, but in the entire west.
