EXCHANGE NOTES.
La Bellevue for April has a long sad piece on "The Noachian Kataklasm.
The Pacific Pharos is one of the liveliest and brightest of our exchanges, and is always interesting.
The Anner and the Hesperian are very outspoken in favor of prohibition in their respective states. You will generally find the college papers on the right side in a question like that.
The Baker Index urges the writing of a history of the University. Why would not this be a good scheme at the K. S. U. If some one would take upon himself the task he would be able to form a very interesting and valuable book.
The literary societies of the school are doing fine work. The young men are growing eloquent in the discussions of the leading questions of the day, while the young ladies, just as young ladies should, are learning to discuss fluently, but modestly, the current events of the day, interspersed with literary subjects, essays, rehearsals, readings, etc.-La Bellevue.
At last Francis H. Snow has been elected Chancellor of the State University, in which institution he has long held the position of Professor of Natural History. We rejoice that the difficulty over the Chancellorship has been finally settled by the selection of a man who cannot fail to be acceptable to all parties and persons. Prof. Snow's reputation as a scientist and an educator is not confined to our own State, but has won recognition from scholars and students in all parts of our nation. Prof Snow's devotion to the University is ardent and unfaltering, and we are confident that under his administration the institution will continue to prosper and advance in a manner worthy of our great State of Kansas.—Washburn Reporter,
The Record has great admiration for Prof. Snow, of the State University, but it has grave doubts about the wisdom of putting him at the head of that institution. Prof. Snow is a specialist. He is a book worm, a student, absorbed too long and too greatly in one line of research, we fear, to fit him for the general and active duties of Chancellor.—Marion Record.
The need of good academic instruction becomes more and more apparent. Those who spend from three to five years in college and three years in professional preparation, have to compete with those of their own age who, without the college training, have had seven or eight years' experience and, if not dunces, have a good hold on business by the time the college student is prepared to begin. Now in seven cases out of ten, if the academic instruction has had the necessary element of good sense in it, the boy has enough capital stock of judgment to go to work. To get a sufficient number of people to take the college course is a settled matter in Germany; for the most desirable situations, only those who have received a degree are eligible. But in our own country, the bread and butter question places many college graduates at a sad disadvantage.
Annex.
This only goes to show that it writer does not know Prof. Snow. While of late years he has been a specialist and has spent more time studying Entomology, and especially the subject of beetles and gathered the best collection of the latter in America, he is neither a book worm, nor a man of one idea. His work for years, has covered in a general way, the whole field of natural history. During this time he has studied all the other departments of the University, perhaps more closely than any other member of the faculty, and our newspaper friends who meet him will find him as well informed on the topics of the day and general discussions of the period, as any man man in the State. Prof. Snow was fitted at Williams College for the Congregational ministry, but after completing an exhaustive classical course, became interested in "bugs" and took a special course under Prof. Agassiz for a year or two, going direct from Boston to the University of Kansas, when it was first organized in 1866. Here for years he very successfully taught all branches of mathematics, chemistry, physics, physiology and natural history, and possibly for a short time the modern languages. Although his work has been so long in special paths, yet we believe Prof. Snow to be one of the most thoroughly equipped educators, and splendidly qualified men in the nation, for a position such as he now assumes.—Clay Center Dispatch.
J.L.TAYLOR & SON, LIVERY AND HACK STABLES
Underwear for summer wear at Abe Levy's.
For which does a man deserve more credit—for the power to learn easily and display to best advantage what he learns, for for the 'grit' withr which he overcomes a natural sluggishness of intellect, and learns in spite of difficulty? In other words, should the 'smart' student or the 'plodder' receive the higher praise? It is a curious fact that many—perhaps most—people would rather be thought 'bright' than industrious, just as a distinguished ancestry and inherited wealth are preferred to 'self-making'; just as many would rather be thought dishonest then stupid. There is a positive danger in the possession of native brilliancy—the danger that the possessor may come to rely on it, relax his efforts and finally fall behind in the race. A proverb has it that 'Honor men are never heard of after commencement day,' and, while this need not be true, it is true that mere talent without hard work will not make a man successful. One is in serious danger of final failure when it can be said of him truly, 'He is smart and he knows it.' — College Life.

Rowing.
One of the old philosophers once said of all exercises for the development of the constitution and for the promotion of health of body give me rowing. A modern philosopher said the same thing the other day adding that Dolly Graeber furnished fine boats for rowing.
