"My daughter," and his voice was stern;
"You must sit this ma ter eight;
What time did that sophomore leave the house,
Who sent in h a card last night?"
"His work was pressing, father dear,
And his love for it is great.
He took his leave and went his way,
Before a quarter of eight."
Then a twinkle came in h r bright blue eye.
And her dimple deper grew.
"Tis surely no sin to tell him that,
For a quarter of eight is two."
We have not seen any credit given to the following but it is too appropriate to existing local circumstances to allow it to be lost;
A THEORY OF EVOLUTION
Way back in those archaic days when time for man got ripe,
A tails lees ape sat on a tree and smoked a penny pipe.
And as he smoked, lo, thought began. He knew that he enjoyed.
(be not surp issed at this, You s'e, that apo was anthropoid.)
Thus thought began, and thought is all that makes a man a man
so be it known that thus in smoke the human race began.
But mark how in a circle move all sutlumary things.
Events like smoke, resolve themselves into expanding rises;
And as the mouse's pencil made thought, and
thought created man.
thought created man,
This man will take him back to just where he began.
We think the same.
The Drury Mirror is down on the grading system. It saves:
"A student thinks that when he has gone to school long enough and studied hard enough to enter college, then he is supposed to know what he ought to do. We believe in putting a premium on faithful attendance and hard study."
The Monmouth College Amex is one of the best of our exchanges. The editorials and contributions are solid and well written. We notice one item in the exchange notes that is rather apt:
"We feel like echoing the expression of another on this subject who styled the average college weekly a five cent thought dressed in a twenty-five dollar overcoat."
The "Annex" by the way, is a semi-monthly.
The Illinois Oratorical Association has purchased a silver cup to be awarded annually to the college of the State making the best record in athletics. Kansas might do well to profit by the example.—University KANSAN. Sueb is fame. The silver cup monitored is not purchased by the Illinois Oratorical Association, but by students of Knox College and presented to the Illinolater Collegiate Athletic Association. —Coup d'Etat.
Good for the students of Knox. We are glad to see the credit go where it belongs.
"The Christomathian Society will vary the regular order of debate next Saturday by holding a parliamentary contest. The society will be divided into unequal divisions and leaders chosen on each side. The larger division will offer a resolution and attempt to carry it without amendment, the negative trying to defeat this by all parliamentary means available. It is the intention to air all kinds of parliamentary tactics without degenerate into pure filibuster." —The Pulse.
This is an excellent scheme. We suggest that our literary societies give it a trial.

"Next to the cultivation of a taste toward Bible study, the cultivation of more interest in athletics is the thing to be desired at Donne."
There seems to be a big gap to be filled at Doane. We are in something of the same fix here.
The Doane Owl says:
There seems to be a growing tendency amon, colleges throughout the land to select the editors of the college journal by a competitive examination. In many respects this is an excellent plan and one which of necessity, must excite the attention of all interested in college journalism. Not only does this method arose a deep interest in the college paper, but it gives an opportunity and encourages the students to aid their paper through their entire course. By contributions during the first three years of the college course, a student is enabled not only to better himself, but also to raise the standard of his own college paper and thereby to greatly benefit college journalism in general. Woever this method is adopted it has proven satisfactory, and it bids fair to meet with popular approval.
We quote this from the Coup d'Etat which, by the way is one of the most "quotable" and interesting of our exchanges. The sentiment here expressed voices our sentiment exactly. We frankly say, that under the present system of newspaper work in K S. U., the weeklies do not really represent the greatness of the University. We hope in time to see a consolidation of the papers here into a journal which shall be run on a different plan. At present it is not particularly an honor to be an editor on one of the college papers. To insure a good first-class, thoroughly representative journal, editorial positions should be honors conferred for conspicuous merit.
We should think it would utterly exhaust the mental capacities of an editor to get up a sheet like "College Life," of Emporia college, a little 2x4 paper about the size of our Opera House folders, and headed with a tremendous Latin motto. A college that can get no better paper than this to represent it, had better be without any representation. The High School Mercury, published here in Lawrence by the pupils of the High School is a greater credit to its managers than such a feeble sheet as "College Life."
It is said that the Board of Regents will make a definite choice of a Chancellor at their April meeting. This is good news. Whoever is chosen we feel confident that he will b the best man for the place who can be obtained under present conditions. It would border on importance for the KANSAN to advocate any one. We don't believe in that sort of thing. We have entire confidence in the wisdom and capability of the Regents, and it is extremely bad taste for a college paper to "boom" any particular candidate. Hurrah for the future Chancellor, whoever he is, and may the University go on as well under his guidance as it has under its past management.

Look out for Kennan here March 27th.
The College Mercury of Feb. 17, comes to our desk with a long article on that time-worn subject, "Secret Fraternities in American Colleges." The usual arguments, partly true, and partly false, are adduced. We should think students would get tired of tirading against a system that has long since been considered one of the permanent and inevitable features of almost all colleges and universities of ary standing.
The lecture delivered by Mr. George Kennan, the great Siberian traveler and writer, under the auspices of the Adelphi Society, deserves more than a passing notice for several reasons, one of which we deem worthy editorial mention. Especially are these remarks commended to the attention of those colleges with which Knox comes in contact as a competitor for oratorical honors. How sincerely we wish every college man, not only in Illinois, but in other States, might have the privilege, as no doubt many indeed have had, of hearing George Kennan.
George Kennan.
There certainly was very little in his delivery in common with the great mass of college "oratory." Yet who of the large audience that filled the Opera House to its capacity could but feel that the calm, commanding dignity of the speaker, the quiet simplicity of the narration, the absence of almost all gesticulation, and above all, the character of the man who had tasted such sensations and experiences for the sake of humanity, who, we say, could but feel that these things constitute the very essence of the highest eloquence? There was no superfluous verbiage, no rhetorical trickery designed to evoke flattering admiration from the audience, no offert whatever made to create effect. And yet how intensely effective and affective, how thrilling and intense, that simple, unvarnished, plain spoken tale of human wee and suffering, and how spell-bound the audience during its narration! It is safe to say that you ocrator, no matter how great the interests at stake, ever so carried an audience with him during his most brilliant flights of "eloquence" as does George Kennan in telling his experience in Siberian exile prisons. The difference can easily be accounted for. Mr. Kennan feels he has to say and his whole nature is so stirred with the sympathy he feels for those prisoners of despair, the creatures of Russian tyranny, that relate his story as simply as he may, it is yet so real and horrible that it cannot help but move his audience,—the mat is sincere. College orator, as a rule, is intensely shallow, for the audience cannot but feel that the man before it is speaking, not from a soul burning with intense sincerity, but is speaking for a prize—Comp d'Eut.
