The successful class in athletics at Amherst receives a barrel of cider as a prize.
THE University Lookout of Chattanooga, Tenn., has succumbed to faculty suppression.
THE faculty of Harvard are considering a plan for shortening the collegiate course to three years. --- Ex.
STUDENTS should take more interest in the Literary Societies. A training that is given in the society hall will be of great value to a student after he is out of school.
ARE you a girl? Read if I were a girl. Are you a boy? Read if I were a boy. There may be something by which you can profit.
THE girls are trying to keep ar account of the number of invitations they each get to the University Ball as a test of their relative popularity
The two college papers of the University of Pennsylvania are very bitter in their denunciations of the proposed co-education, for that institution.
The Mercury is the name of a paper issued this week, by the Lawrence High School, and is a bright and attractive paper. As evidence of this it gives the KANSAN a roast in the first issue.
YALE will have no thanksgiving vacation this year but instead the Christmas vacation will be lengthened, it extending from Dec. 18, to Jan.7. Why would that not be a good plan to be pursued at K. S. U?
The boys who are members of the German club are to tell their ideal at the meeting to morrow night and those who have no solid girl have been haunting the photo galleries this week to find the likeness of one to their taste.
OCCIDENT: One of our exchanges contains an editorial defending the dignity of the word coed, claiming that it is infinitely superior to "lady-student." We agree with them entirely.
We are afraid the K S, U., girls would object to being called "eoeds."
K. S. U., papers say they want to organize a glee club that Washburn will envy. How natural for man to indulge in the delusions of hope,—Reporter.
Though no such desire was expressed there is no reason, with the musical talent that is in the University, why we can not have a Glee Club that will be envied by our neighbors
EN-MINISTER Phelps has accepted the presidency of Columbia. His salary will be greater than that of any other college president in America.—Ex.
The above which is going the rounds of the College Press will no doubt be of interest to students of Columbia who think Hon. Seth Low, Ex Mayor of Brooklin is to be Columbia's president.
The first lecture of the course was given last Friday evening, and was greeted with a full house, as it deserved to be. It is a rare privilege to be able to attend a course of lectures like the one that is offered to the students of K. S. U, and all that have not already done so should get tickets before the next lecture. Many other colleges have lecture courses but none that we have seen mentioned thus far, equal the one that is presented here.
Full Dress Ties and Shirts at Abe Levy's.
PRINCETON College will have a journal managed and edited by the faculty. President Patton will be editor-in-chief, and departments in the different branches of learning will be conducted by the various professors. They will call it the Princeton College Bulletin. What fun that president will have chasing the professors for "copy!"—Ex.
It is certainly amusing to one to read in a Baldwin paper that Rho Kappa Tau is a new girls fraternity in K. S. U. but it does not show as much ignorance as for a K, S. U., paper to give as a piece of news that Phi Beta Kappa has granted a charter to the University, nearly three months after it has been granted and after the papers of the town and University have dropped and forgotten about it.
The action of those of the party of mock initiators who did not attend the conference of the faculty last Monday should receive the censure of every student They twice violated their honor. In the first place by not meeting the faculty when it was left to their honor to attend, and in the second place, when by their refusal to attend they endeavor to shift some of the blame from their own shoulders to those of their more honorable fellow students. It was enough to be connected with the affair at all but to try and evade the responsibility of it because the faculty does not happen to know that you were connected with it is stooping to the very depths of dishonor, not because you keep your identity hid but because some one else has to bear the consequences of your misdeeds.
In a recent issue of the Chicago Tribune we find an article by Mrs. A.G.Blackwelder, giving an account of the National Association of Collegiate Alumni that was recently held in Buffalo. Mrs.Blackwelder is a graduate of the University and has the honor of being the first lady chosen to deliver the Commencement Alumni Oration, she being chosen to make the address next Commencement. The meeting in Buffalo was for the discussion of work open to educated women. We clip the following from her report:
The occupations open to and suitable for college women were discussed. One member said that there are more places for specially qualified women than there are women to fill them. Scattered over the country are hundreds of women trained in chemistry, and these might apply their talents and knowledge to the teaching of cooking according to the law of science. In this way, bad cookery, with its train of physical and moral evils, could be replaced by scientific preparation of food and the hypochondriacial dyspeptic be unknown. A suggestion was offered in the statement that in the City of Brooklyn there is but one excellent mechanical draughtsman, and women having special capabilities in that direction were advised to fit themselves for that vocation. In California fruit culture was reported as a successful occupation for women.
THERE is a class of people that seems opposed to state institutions and advocates denominational schools on account of the better influences that are thrown around a student in such institutions. It is a favorite saying with them that every boy that comes to the University and does not turn out well owes it to the influences that surround him here. It is true that some students come here and never do any thing to better themselves, and their misdeeds are laid to their associations. Most persons lay this to the proper cause, inherent nature---but for all those who insist that these persons would not have turned out so, had they attended a denominational school we submit an occurrence that recently happened at Hiram College in Ohio, an institution under the control of the Christian Church.
Communicated.
A student there was recently found guilty of theft and left school in order to escape the consequences. Of course we do not try to insinuate that the school was the cause of this student committing this act, but had it occurred here there would have been a howl go up from the demagogues that it was all due to the evil influences thrown around him here
The influences of the University need not be feared by anyone wishing to send their children here. A more honorable and moral class of students can not be found than we have in the University.
The following article which we find in the DePauw Adz contains so much thought for reflection that, though rather long, we give it in its entirety:
The advancement of the age?
Yes. The time has long passed when an educated person was expected to know "all those things"—when "getting an education" meant dashing widly into every avenue of learning, proceeding a short way into each one and finally coming to dead halt, possessing a slight knowledge of a great many things, but a thorough knowledge of none. Then it was "Those things;" now it is "this thing."
The time has come when one is not considered wise or well read, when he is able to remark with a showing of great interest that "Robert Elsmere presents beautiful arguments in favor of the Unitarian religion," or "Edmund was an awful villain," for that many mean only that the speaker has taken advantage of the advertisement which not longe since went through the leading newspapers and magazines, offering for a small consideration to send a review of the books most admired and talked of, instead of reading Mrs. Humphrey Ward's famous work for himself or studying King Lear with the Juniors.
Some one has very cleverly remarked that "the more a man knows, the more he does not know; in other words, the deeper a man's knowledge in content, the narrower it is in extent."
Give up the idea of mastering "all those." Find the "this" which is best suited to your ability, concentrate your energies upon it, and you will induce time become educated and be a success in life.
Andy Reed makes special rates to students. Twenty baths for $2.00.
Could rates of a one or a one and a third fare, for the round trip, be secured on the different roads, there would be many more who would "eat turkey at home" Thanksgiving.
The Thanksgiving holidays are drawing near, and already those living within a radius of fifty or seventy-five miles are looking forward to the time when they can join the family circle, about the festive board.
During the school year we have three recesses one at Thanksgiving, and one in the spring of five days inclusive, each, and the Christmas recess of two weeks. Most students go home at Xmas, and a few at each of the other two recesses. Could rates be secured many more might have the privedge of passing these vacations with their parents.
Old soldier's, preachers, teachers. Y.M. & Y.W.C.A., in fact every class of people get rates but students. If there is a picnic, a show, an assembly, a base ball game or even a cock fight rates are given, but there are no rates for the student, who wants to spend a few days three times a year with his parents.
Perhaps it is our fault, in that we do not bring this before the general passenger agents of the different roads. If so let something be done at once, towards securing rates for our three annual recesses.
If a committee of professors or even one would take this in hand, and bring it about, about, all of K. S. U's students would be benefited and feel grateful. Prof. Carruth or Prof. James Canfield would be a good persons to undertake it, and I believe would succeed, for if this matter is brought before the general passenger agents in the right way there is but little doubt but they would give us rates.
STUDENT.
Freshman Dignity.
Soph - "How so, professor?"
Seene—campus, one year hence. Professor, to soph—"I'm sorry, sir, but will have to report you for a 'mild form of hazing'."
Prof.—"How so? I've watched you pass three freshmen and you neglected to bow in every instance." —Yale Record.
