Dr. Minot is attracting large crowds daily to his lectures in the University chapel. The Harvard men who have visited the University this year have met remarkably responsive audiences.
Chancellor Strong well stated the strongest recommendation for the Big Five from our point of view. It would give us more publicity. Only the local press devotes space to us as it is. Organization may be a fad, but so long as it is, Kansas may as well go in for it. It pays to advertise in matters educational as well as in any business enterprise.
Over at Missouri there is an agitation for an elevator in Academic Hall. The past weeks of icy walks made quite a strong impression here on Oread in favor of some sort of a lift to the top of the hill from the Ohio street level. It's a problem worthy of the "figgering" of some of our many engineers.
The question of Kansas entering the Big Five was informally discussed at the last meeting of the University Council and the prevailing sentiment seemed to be in favor of joining the organization although there was some opposition on account of the Freshman rule. Chancellor Strong is very much in favor of joining the Big Five. He said in giving his reasons: "I believe Kansas is letting an opportunity pass that she will not soon again have. Of course all the other institutions will in the near future join some such organization, and it will be there a very difficult matter for Kansas to enter such a league. I believe that our athletics would be placed upon a finer basis and we would be recognized in the athletic world, which is not the case at the present. I have often been in cities outside the state when our football team played important games and could find no account of it in the largest papers although Missouri and other states were given plenty of space. It goes to
show that Kansas is not recognized as she should be in athletics. Washington, Missouri, and Iowa Universities have all indicated their intention of joining and I have strong reason to believe that after June 1, when the athletic management is changed at Nebraska, that our neighbor on the north will join. If we remain out, I repeat, we are losing an opportunity that will not come again soon, and will greatly affect our athletic standing."
High School Science.
More than thirty of the high schools accredited to the University of Kansas have recently equipped laboratories for science work. The amount of money expended has varied from one hundred to three hundred dollars, and in every case purchases have been made with reference to strengthening the work preparatory to higher education.
Knocking, a Disease.
Knocking is a fatal disease in all social circles. If your conscience tells you you're guilty, there's still one sure remedy. Patronize the K. U. Pantatorium and you will never have cause to exercise the hammer.
Professor Engel is unable to meet his classes because of an attack of lagrippe. Dr. Corbin is also at home on account of illness of her mother. The department is meeting all the classes with much difficulty.
