HURRAH for the ball nine. We take back without any mental reservation whatever we have said about the K. S. U. nine not being able to play ball. We cheerfully offer the University nine as the champion amateur nine of the state. Thirteen to four against the McCooks of Leavenworth is sufficient to establish the reputation of any Kansas nine. Our compliments boys, you did well. The University is proud of you.
THE Washburn Reporter voices our sentiments on the exchange question. The Reporter prefers to give extracts or "samples" from its exchanges to show what they are really doing in preference to making tame comments, falsely called criticisms. That is the idea which we have tried to carry out in our exchange column. Nobody cares to hear that "Bitter Creek University Octopus" comes to our desk with an excellent issue, or that the "Missouri College Gambler" has a fine sporting column, or that, the "Dodecahedron" from the Smith Academy has recently improved its appearance by a new cover. And then there is another class of items which we find so frequently in exchange columns of college papers, such as "China has the oldest University in the world."
"The fraternity initiates of the U. S. number 75,000," and then last, and most execrable of all the abominations which go to fill up the miscellaneous hodge-podge which constitutes the exchange columns of so many student's papers, are the jokes. Oh the jokes. Jokes that Confucius heard from his grandfather. All such rubbish does not belong in an exchange column. What we prefer to do is to present extracts from the different college papers, which we consider interesting.
Dolly Graeber has nice boats.
BEING obliged to leave within a few days, we will be unable to personally supervise the last two issues of the paper, and have placed the KANSAN for the last two weeks in the hands of Messrs. Whitman and Hadley who will do themselves credit in the manner in which they will close up the work of the KANSAN for the year. Mr. R. D. Brown will act as Managing Editor. The last issue will be a double Commencement number and will contain many interesting features.
The work of maintaining a creditable weekly paper in the University is no light one. We doubt if students as a rule have any idea of the amount of time and attention a college paper takes. You see the local man around taking notes, but you don't know how much of his time is consumed in hunting around for items of interest. You read the athletic news, but you do not know how many scores of games, lists, announcements and information of all kinds pertaining to the athletic work in the University have to be made out accurately and carefully in order to form a correct report. You read editorial and exchange columns, but you do not know anything about running down to the printing office four or five times a week to see that the copy is in, proof read and the paper brought out on time. You have no idea of the amount of money necessary to run a college paper like the KANSAN or the Courier. It would open your eyes if we told you, and all this money must come from your subscriptions and from the advertisements of the business men of Lawrence,—or if these fail, from——! Never mind; run a paper yourself, and will see where it comes from. Now what is all this time and trouble and expense undertaken for? For the sake of the University and for your interests. All that is asked in return is your subscription and yur appreciation. As to the KANSAN this year of 1889-90, we are very well satisfied with the work it has done, and the satisfaction which it seems to have given. The management of the paper this term have endeavored to make it interesting, and a fair representative of the body of students. We have tried to be fair and impartial, and have always advocated what we thought to the best interests of the students and our University. If we have in any measure succeeded, we are satisfied with our work. To any students contemplating work on the college papers next year, we would say one thing. Go slow, and decide carefully be fore hand whether you can afford to put in the time which will be required. If you decide that you can, then go in and do your leve best. In closing we wish to thank the students and faculty for their many expressions of good will, and our contemporary the Courier for its uniform courtesy toward us.

The proposed Farewell Service for all students, at the Episcopal church, next Sunday morning, promises to be a success. It is very proper and very pleasant for all students to meet together on the last Sunday before the close of the University year, for a last service The north half of the Episcopal church will be reserved, and the two Professors Canfield will act as ushers. The service is set for next Sunday because so many students leave as soon as examinations are over. Let every student be present. It is suggested that each fraternity go in a body, and some have already concluded to do this. Services begin promptly at eleven o'clock.
In another column we have copied an article from the Goup d'État describing a society which has been organized at Knox College for the purpose of preserving college publications. We wonder why such a thing has never occurred to any one here. It certainly would have a very valuable work to perform. The University was founded in 1866, but, with the exception of the catalogues there is not preserved in the University library a single college publication of a date previous to ten years after the founding of the University. Take for instance the college papers. If we remember rightly, the earliest issues of the Review or the Courier which are to be found in the library, are of the years 1878 or '79. We have copies of all the college annuals, but of the early papers and some of the later ones, there are no files. Then the programmes, notices, newspaper clippings, and other little matters pertaining to events happening at the University, these ought to be preserved. How much easier it would be, if at some future time some one would wish to write a history of the University, for him to have within his reach this mass of material which can be collected and preserved with so little trouble. Such an organization as the Memorabilia Society of Knox can do a good work in this line, and we hope that next year some enterprising students will organize something of the kind at K. S. U.
The Coup d Etat has before this deplored the lack of any authentic body in connection with Knox College whose business it might be to preserve and carefully file away, not only for future reference, but as a matter of historic interest, all college publications, programs of public exercises and the many relics and souvenirs of college life that accumulate from year to year, only to be ultimately destroyed, lost or stolen. Therefore, with unfeigned pleasure, we welcome to our midst the new organization, a more extended notice of which appears elsewhere, called very appropriately the "Memorabilia Society." There are croakers, of course, who will fail to see the use of such an organization. These are those, however, who have no college spirit and are generally blind to the uses of everything that does not directly concern their own narrow field of vision. Others may think that we have too many organizations already to take up the student's time, and that this will be a still further drain upon the golden moments that should be devoted to solid study. But it is understood that the Memorabilia Society will in a degree systematize a large amount of work which now takes much time to attend to without the medium of its aid. It proposes to limit its membership to eight men, who are to be selected from year to year from among those students who have manifested a natural interest in matters of this kind, and the society will endeavor to gain for itself a reputation such that election to membership in it will deemed a high honor and one worthy to be sought after by underclassmen. It would seem that the simple fact that there is not to-day in Knox College a complete file of the Goup d'Etat or Commencement programs, and that even the college itself does not keep a file of its own catalogues and that there is not a complete set of the latter in existence, except, perhaps, as the private property of one of the professors—were all the justification necessary for the organization of the Memorabilia Society. In view of this state of affairs, it would also seem that the plan ought to meet with the hearty approval and cooperation of our Faculty, and we believe that it will. In its efforts to collect and preserve historic data, it is hoped that it will meet with that obliging courtesy and sympathy from both students and alumni that its worthy purpose bespeak. Success and a long life of usefulness therefore to the Memorabilia Society of Knox College.—Goup d'Etat.
