WHAT is the matter with the Foot Ball Club? We should endeavor to have some games this year with some of our neighboring colleges,
STUDENTS that eat their dinner at the University miss the lunch counter formerly run by Failley. Some of the down town restaurants could run a paying business at the University if they would establish a good lunch counter here.
PERSONS having matter for the KANSAN should hand it in by Tuesday of each week. Editorial and Literary matter should be handed to the Editor-in-Chief and Local matter to Mr.H.F.Roberts. We cannot insure the publication of any matter that is handed in later than Tuesday.
WE often hear the question asked "Why does not K. S. U. have a Glee Club?" That is indeed a question that is hard to answer satisfactorily. We certainly have the talent. All that is necessary is for some one that is capable of leading the movement to take it in hand. Washburn has a Glee Club that is an honor to the institution and there is no reason why K. S. U. should not be able to maintain one equally as good.
ELITE JOURNAL: When a student occupies the whole recitation hour in arguing with the professor in charge, thus monopolizing the time of an entire class, it is about time he should pay double tuition or hire a private instructor. Such students "make us tired," and seldom developing a single new idea, they soon become a class nuisance.
It would seem from the above that the Illinois Wesleyan is afflicted with that self-important individual that is such a common and disgusting personage in K. S. U.
SOME of our exchanges criticize KANSAN very severely because we devote so much space to local matter and have no Literary Department. We make no pretense to conduct a literary paper. Our aim is to have a college newspaper and when we accomplish that end we will have accomplished our purpose. It would be about as sensible to criticise the daily newspapers because they devote so much space to matters of news and so little to Litterary matter as to criticise the KANSAN and similar college papers because we devote so much space to local matters.
Upon considering the work of Seniors and Juniors in their closing terms of school, we have endeavored to fill a long felt want by procuring several of the most prolific writers of the age, which enables us to furnish all kinds of productions at a very slight cost.
So read a circular received by several K. S. U. students the past week and now when a forensic comes from the Prof's, hand marked good and bearing Grade "one" those students who received Grade "three" will look at each other with a cruel, knowing look that will speak worlds, but of course it will proceed only from jealously.
Many students come to the University and remain here for the entire four years and when they leave school the only results of the time and labor spent is the knowledge that they have been able to get from between the covers of a text book. They have made no friendships; they have no ties that will bind them to the University in after years; they are members of none of the various student organizations; they have never done anything while here to advance any of the interests of the University; they have never subscribed for their college papers; in fact their whole existence may be summed up as an existence by themselves and for themselves.
A Student's Obligations.
This certainly is not to be commended in any student. Of course his prime object should be his studies. He should not sacrifice his work for anything. However, there is no student that has so much work to do that he can not find time for some outside work. If he can play ball he should lend his assistance on the Diamond, and help to give our University a position in that field. If he is not given to athletics he should devote himself to something that will bring him in contact with his fellow students, either in something that will bring him either in some of the societies that are in connection with the University or in any other way that will bring an exchange of thought be tween himself and others. It is only through this association with others that he can be said to become educated. It matters not how much knowledge a person may have, if it be accompanied by other training, he cannot be said to be educated, in the true sense of the word.
Another duty that a student owes to the University is his financial support; not to the University itself but to the organizations connected with it. When the ball grounds need repairing he should contribute his part towards it. Because a person does not play ball does not exempt him in the least. That is all the more reason that he should give. He should assist in every way in his power.
Students! If we may presume to advise you, take an interests in the University enterprises. Subscribe for your college papers. Buy a ticket to the University Ball even though you may not wish to attend. Buy a ticket to the Lecture Course, every one wants to and should attend that. Lend your assistance wherever it is needed and you will never regret it.
The Kansas Academy of Science.
This institution which includes members from the most important colleges in the State and from other professions as well as that of teaching met at Wichita last week. Among the papeas read and discussed are the following:
Some monstrosities in flowering plants by Prof. W. A. Kellerman of Manhattan. The author spoke of a variety of abnormal forms and illustrated his remarks by the exhibition of beautifully mounted specimens. Mr. J. T. Willard of the Agricultural experimental station at the same place gave some valuable notes on the analysis of agricultural products. He spoke of methods of drying in the Laboratory, the process used for purifying other and a device for the prevention of foaming in boiling. Prof. E. A. Popenoe of Manhattan discussed Oviposition of Tragidion. He showed in illustration a number of beautifully mounted specimens. A paper was read from W. S. Nowlon of Oswego, on Labette County Glacial Strali. Prof. G. H. Failyer of Manhattan read a paper on Ammonia and nitric acid in Rain
Water collected at the Agricultural College. He has been engaged on this work several years and his researches are of great value, as they tell how much Ammonia and Nitric acid may be expected to fertilize each acre of land annually.
Prof. F. H. Snow, of the University discussed the artificial spread of contagious diseases among chinch bugs. This paper attracted much attention. The author gave his own experience in eradicating the pest, and showed how it was verified by the extensive correspondence from this and many other States where he has sent specimens of infected bugs to spread the disease.
Mr E. C. Murphy of the University gave the results of his experiments on Cements Manufactured in Kansas. He has compared the strength of different varieties of cement setting under similar conditions. For most purposes the Ft. Scott cement seems to bear the greater strain without fracture, but all our cements are far below Portland cement in value. Prof. L. I. Blake of the University read a paper on some tests on the insulation Resistance of Electric Light wires exposed to moisture. From a careful series of experiments the author showed that in some wires the insulation was of little value, while in others it was almost perfect. Prof. Robert Hay of Junction City gave a resume of his paper on Kansas Artesion Wells. It is proposed to use this means for irrigation of the more arid lands. The paper was discussed by Prof. Snow and others.
Sergeant T B Jennings read a paper on "A Preliminary study of Hot Winds." This paper was prepared from data collected from experiments made by the U. S. Signal Service during the past winter and spring.
Prof. F. O. Marvin of the University exhibited a chart showing the declination of the magnetic need in Kansas, and showing the irregularity that exists in Saline and Elsworth counties.
Prof. L. I Blake, of the University, read a paper on "A method of Telephonic Communication Between Ships at Sea." Prof. Blake is the only scientist that has been able to accomplish any feasible scheme for such communication and his report was received with much enthusiasm by the audience.
E. E. Slosson read a paper prepared by himself and Prof. Bailey on the "Occurrence of Barite and Other Associated minerals in Concretionary Formations in Eastern Kansas.
A paper on the "Manufactory of binding twine in Kansas" was read by Prof. Sayre and one on the "Curve of mean daily temperature at Lawrence for twenty-one years" was read by Prof. Snow. Prof. Snow also read a paper on the "The respiration of the Salamander" giving the method, hitherto unexplained, by which this animal breathes.
Hon. J. R. Mead of Wichita presented a paper on "The occurence of gold in Montana.
A paper on "The analysis of Kansas mineral water was read by Prof. Bailey. A paper describing the work of W.S. Franklin on the subject of "The equations of the water jets in Barker's mill was read by Prof. Blake Prof. Marion read a paper on "Second Settling of Cements." At request Prof. Sayre read a paper entitled "Notes on Albuminoids!"
After all of the papers were presented the officers for he ensuing year were elected as follows:
G. H. Failyer of Manhattan, president; D. S. Kelly of Emporia, first vice-president; F. W. Cragin of Topeka, second vice-president; E. H. S. Bailey of Lawrence, secretary; J. D. Graham of Manhattan, treasurer; E. B. Smith of Topeka, librarian; Curators—C. E. Jennings and A. H. Thompson of Topeka and R. Hay of Junction City.
On Saturday upon invitation the Academy and friends to the number of seventy went in a special car to Kingman. They were met at the station by carriages and taken to visit the three salt manufactories, the creamery and the salt shaft. At the latter place the intention was to go down in the shaft to the depth of 800 feet, but a break in the machinery the day before rendered this impossible. Many good specimens were obtained however. A complimentary dinner was given at the Brunswick after which came a serenade by the band. The company then repaired to the order of the day for nearly two hours. Among the speakers were Profs. Snow, Sayre, Blake, Hay, Charlton, Marlatt, Senator Gillett and Dr. Hewitt. A series of complimentary resolutions were passed, and the party came back to Wichita, delighted with the trip and the hearty welcome of the people of Kingman.
