The mass meeting idea for raising money is a good one. The Pulse says:

The KANSAN is pleased to receive among its exchanges the Clay Centre Dispatch published by Bion S. Hutchins, a graduate of K. S. U., and is one of the rustling "young men in politics." The Dispatch bristles with life and energy, and we hope it is a paying investment to its manager.
COLLEGE JOURNALISM
There are three principal reasons why the college paper should be encouraged and supported. It gives to the world the real standing of the institution which it represents, and the kind of work that is being done. It provides for the studeats a medium, through which they may express their sentiments, and thereby profit by each others opinions on the current topics of the day. To say that the pleasure and real satisfaction that the student gets from the perusal of the college journal is appreciated, is indeed saying but little. As far as our experience goes, the students universally are loyal to the college paper. We believe we are safe in saying that the work and time that it necessarily takes to get out a paper is not appreciated by any except those who have had the actual experience. We may look over the field, search the history of every staff, inquire into their methods of doing business, and we will find that the legacy left to future corps is nothing but a legacy of hard work and unattained ambitions. So if our paper comes far short of your ideal just consider that we paid nothing to secure our position, and that it is not lucrative in any sense except what benefit we derive from the labor and experience. — Wesleyan Advenance.
Let K. S. U. students think of this.
The college Forum department of the Delphic has some very good ideas expressed in it. Here is one, which, though not couched in the most elegant language, yet contains a grain of good sound common sense:
"There is a decided lack of opportunity around Drake for the development of sociability. We do not favor high, swell, all night, full(un) dress parties and balls; but we would favor a decently ordered home entertainment at least once a month or so. Some might gather from these words that the writer is one of those isolated males who
don't stand in" with the leaders of society affairs here, but while he is one of the raw hands, his conservation proves that there are no real social advantages for any student unless he goes into the circles of the city.
What we advocate is a good, beauty, intellectual evening gathering of students. That such have never been held in this great community of giant intellects is sadly evident on any occasion when the least principles of social etiquette would be in order. The sight of a long, lank, bony, awkward man in the drawing room is disgusting, however much he may have gathered of knowledge. The world laughs at him, and the light of his genius is hid under the bushel of his neglect of "ways and means." Cranks and chumps may not need to know how to conduct themselves in company, but it behooves the man to acquire it."
FEDERAL AND STATE AID TO
EDUCATION:
U. S. Bureau of Education, Circular of Information No. 1, 1890, Contributions to American Educational History, edited by Herbert B. Adams. No. 9: The History of Federal and State Aid to Higher Education in the United States, by Frank W. Blackmar, Ph.D. Sometimes Fellow in History and Politics in the John. Hopkins University, now Professor in the State University of Kansas. Washington, Government Printing Office, 1890.
This is the announcement of a work just out of the government press, which Prof. Blackmar prepared for the series edited by Herbert B. Adams, of Johns Hopkins on the history of education in the United States. We were expecting something good when Prof. Blackmar's book appeared, but we were hardly prepared for the large monograph of 343 pages in which the history of Federal and State aid to higher education is so accurately and fully told. The book is a genuine cyclopedia of higher public education in the United States. The history of the growth of the State idea in education is carefully and thoroughly treated, from a statistical basis.
Prof. Blackmar reviews the history of higher education in every State in the Union, and with such completeness and thoroughness of detail that when he has finished, the whole picture of the growth and development of higher education in America is complete. When we consider the vast ground to be covered the historical and statistical evidence and records to be carefully gone over and arranged in a systematic whole, we can form some idea of the great labor involved. The work does not—cannot give many interesting historical points in connection with the founding and growth of our colleges and universities. In order to keep the monograph within reasonable bounds the most succinct accounts consistent with completeness, are given each institution. All the facts are there,—every one, without a single word wasted, and it is all put in such a clear and accurate manner that the book will always endure as a complete, concise and careful history of the State idea in education in America.
It is a great thing for K. S. U. to have such a work as this come from the hands of one of its professors. Prof. Blackmar is still a young man: his work is just fairly begun, yet this production entitles

him to a position which many an older scholar might well envy. Another valuable monograph by Prof. Blackmar is soon to appear, and we will give it due mention. Our professor has thoroughly imbibed the spirit of research which Johns Hopkins inspires, and is endeavoring to cultivate in his students. "The History of Federal and State Aid to Higher Education." is a credit to Prof. Blackmar, an acquisition to the educational world, and a work for Kansas University to point to with pride the production of one of its honored instructors.

The base-ball writers of the country are slowly coming around to the idea that the National league can not afford to fight the brotherhood with a ten-club circuit. In the Philadelphia Inquirer recently appeared the following:
"Of course the league would be in a much healthier condition without Indianapolis or Washington. With Glasscock, Denny, Boyle, Buckley, Bassett, Burkett, Inks, Sommers, Rusie, George and the new material divided up among two or three of the other league clubs, and the transfer of a few of the surplus players under contract with Cincinnati and Brooklyn, a strong eight-club circuit can be formed. It is possible that such a movement will be made. New York, Brooklyn, Cincinnati and Boston are believed to be opposed to ten clubs. Presidents Spalding and Reach are on the fence.
NATIONAL LEAGUE CIRCUIT.
"Of the one hundred stars in the league and the association the former claims to have the most, but of the first forty the players' league has the call. When it comes down to the young players of the first and second class the league has the most, as it has had the pick of the finest players in the minor leagues. Young material under such competent managers as Wright and Anson and sandwiched between a few old stars may produce a good team. It is team work that wins largely. If the respective clubs of the old league are well organized they are likely to get their share of the patronage. In this the national league is as well off as the players'. Both of them are so jumbed up as to require considerable practice to make them perfect. When this is done—and the clubs are already getting to work—the conflict will narrow down for the public to decide. If the patrons go to brotherhood games the league will suffer in consequence, and vice versa."
"At the Cleveland meeting, too, the full staff of umpires will be agreed upon. MeQuaid, Lynch and McDermott have already been appointed and one or two others can easily be selected from the list of applicants in the hands of President Young. This is regarded as an indication that the league intends to maintain the single umpire system.
