PORTRAITS OF JOURNALISTS
DEPARTMENT HAS INTER ESTING COLLECTION.
--given a better idea of the style and genius of Colonel Watterson, but—it happens that Secretary Ballinger was once a student of the University. This made a rather delicate situation, which was met by framing a part of the editorial in which Ballinger's name does not appear. The one complete sentence of the editorial which appears with the portrait, is:
. Harvey, Watterson, White, and Hapgood Write of Profession of Journalism.
The department of journalism of the University is the possessor of some interesting photographic portraits of American newspaper men. Prof. C. M. Harger, head of the department, has been for some time gathering the collection.Portraits of Horace White of the New York Evening Post, Norman Hapgood, editor of Collier's Weekly, Col. George Brinton McClellan Harvey, editor of Harper's Weekly, and Henry Watterson, editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, have been framed and placed on the walls of the journalism class room. This is the beginning of a collection which it is hoped will include most of the men of national prominence in journalism in the United States.
Accompanying each picture and framed with it,is an appropriate sentiment in the handwriting of each of the four men. These written messages to the students of journalism are almost as interesting as the portraits themselves.
For instance, enclosed within the frame which contains the photograph of Col. George Harvey is this statement, in the Colonel's own handwriting:
"True journalism and the politics that seeks personal advancement are not and cannot be made co-operative; from the radical difference in their very nature and the impossibility of reconciling what should be the idealism of the one with the practicalism of the other, they must be essentially antagonistic."
Colonel Harvey made the commencement address at the University last June. He was entertained on the evening of commencement day at a dinner to which a number of Kansas editors had been invited. Colonel Harvey was of course called upon for a speech after the dinner, and in the course of his remarks he took occasion to criticise William J. Bryan severely. He scored the Nebraskan both as a politician and as a journalist. To one who has the remarks made at the dinner in mind, the message framed with Colonel Harvey's picture seems to take up right where he left off in his remarks last June, and to contain almost a direct reference to the editor of the Commoner.
Colonel Harvey's photograph is the largest in the.collection The Colonel wears huge spectacles with tortoise-shell rims, and an inspection of the portrait will give point to the remark recently made by an easterner that he "looks as if Peter Newell drew him."
When the request for Colonel Watterson's photograph reached the Courier-Journal office, Colonel Watterson was ill in Florida and could not send an autographed statement as requested. His associates at the Courier Journal office gathered up a few pages of the original "copy" of the editorial entitled "Ballinger," which the Colonel had recently written and which had been quoted all over the country. These were sent with the photograph.
Probably nothing could have been selected which would have
"Only the known organs of predatory wealth, with here and there a newspaper not actually owned by the syndicate, but drawn by community of sympathy and interest to its side—we take no account of thick-or-thin partyites committed to the dogma that the Administration can do no wrong—have come to the President's rescue."
Horace White, who was for many years editor of the New York Evening Post, wrote as follows:
"I consider the study of the Bible the best foundation for a good style of English composition. I recommend for the training of journalists the study of history, ancient and modern, political economy, political science, and the English common law, and a reading acquaintance with the Latin, French and German languages."
This is Norman Hapgood's contribution to the symposium on what one should do to fit himself for journalism:
"The best preparation for newspaper work, in my opinion, is as sound, liberal, and varied an education as possible. A journalist's task is to think well on many subjects. The surest aid to such thinking is an education which combines strict mental training with the freeing influence of general cultivation."
SECRET IS OUT
What M. U. Women Carry in Party Bags.
"Oh say, Louise, did you get home from the dance all right?" "Yes, Marie, but do you know, the worst thing happened to me. It was horrible. Fred and I were getting into the cab, when my slipper bag flew open, and my slippers and stockings fell out."
At last the secret of the slipper bag is out, says the University Missouri. Masculine curiosity has often been aroused as to the contents of the little bags which girls carry to dances. The average man would think that they contained the indispensable powder, pumps and pins. At last the secret has been disclosed S-sh! The little bags also contain a second pair of stockings which Columbia girls take to dance in.
ENROLLMENT NOW 2,298.
No, the practice is not a new one, it is said. It is not merely a whim or fancy of university women, for it is an almost universal custom. Fashion has decreed silk hosiery, and silk hosiery is expensive. The stockings are delicately woven and are easily torn. It is for this reason that women do not wear the more expensive ones with heavy street shoes. This is where the slipper bags come in handy at the dances. The co-eds carry their silk stockings with them, and change them for the heavier ones. This is done because the light dancing pumps are not so destructive as the heavy street shoes and they are able to afford a greater variety and a larger number of pairs of silk stockings.
Hand in your Junior Prom dates to the committee at once.
The present enrollment of the University has reached 2,298. The usual number of teachers that enter for a short term in the spring each year will put the num ber well toward 2,400 before the end of the semester. This is a satisfactory increase over the enrolment of last year.
Number Expected to Reach 2,400 Before Long.
Of the students this year 1,430 are men and 868 women. Of the women 551 are in the college,184 in the department of fine arts,2 in each the Law School and the School of Pharmacy,and 22 in the Medical School.
The Graduate school is the only department of the University that shows an important increase this year. There are 120 graduate students, an increase of 20 per cent since last year. The enrollment by schools is: Graduate 120; College, 1,093; Engineering 439; Fine Arts, 269; Law, 215; Medicine, 164; Summer Session, 374.
CLIPPING BUREAU.
Extension Department Has Entered New Field.
In connection with the University extension department has been established what resembles a clipping bureau, although the extent of its work is yet too limited to call it by that name. The object of this branch is to assist and promote debating among the high schools and societies of the state. It keeps on file magazines and references and upon application of any of the institutions mentioned for information on any subject, articles from magazines and the proper references will immediately be mailed to the applicant. This work is now the germ of what may develop into a clipping bureau as a department of the University.

WHEN IS ELEVEN TWELVE?
The Waterbury Accused of Mudding Mathematics.
At exactly 11 o'clock yesterday morning, nineteen laborers who were working on the University campus, dropped their nineteen picks and shovels and started toward their dinner pails. At the same moment the University office force grabbed their hats. Even the staid professors hesitated in the midst of their lectures and began gathering up their notes; for hadn't the big power plant whistle, which daily announces the hour of twelve, boomed forth its deep-noted blast? It had; but everybody felt that something was wrong so as one man, they consulted their watches and saw that another hour remained before noon
The laborers indulged in a few sulphurous remarks concerning "that red-headed engineer," and picked up their discarded tools, the office force turned back to its work with a groan, and the professors looked puzzled as they resumed their lectures.
Over in the power plant on the west part of the campus, the fireman blamed the engineer, the engineer blamed his Waterbury watch, and the Waterbury, which hangs in the morning sun silently pointed an acusing hour hand at Old Sol, as the original or of the mischief.
At one minute after eleven, Engineer Charley Griffith began answering numerous telephone calls, and was heard to tell the inquisitive ones that, "I took only one glance at the watch, and the sun was shining on it in such a way that it looked like 12 o'clock to me, so I pulled the whistle."
