We notice by the "Argo" that some change is to be made in the faculty of Washburn for the coming year. Just what these changes will be the Argo does not state.

The "spring poet" in his annual visit has entirely overlooked the K. W. U., somewhat sensitive, the editor wrote him a note asking to know the why and wherefore of this slight and received the following reply.
I did not mean to pass you o'er
In dealing out my varnel lore,
And for this I shall make amends.
Next spring when in my yearly round,
the
State University, May 1st 1889.
I will weave a poem deep profound,
I'll make it perfect in its metre,
And than all others by far sweeter:
And while I write I'll be right hearty,
And while I write I'm too right hearty,
And head it with "The Boat-Ride Party."
Very Cordially,
Kansas Spring Poet.
