Holidays are good—but they usually call for a second for recuperation from the first.
The coming production of the "Pirates of Penzance" by the voice department assisted by the University orchestra promises to be one of the best musical stunts put on by University talent in some time. The cast has been filled for months, and rehearsals have been held regularly. The opera deserves support.
Does the declaration of a holiday on Washington's birthday serve a very important purpose? There is no particular ceremony or calling up of the significance of the day or of the reason for its observance. The average man simply forgets to come down to breakfast, lounges through the afternoon and evening, and that is all there is to it. The spirit of the holiday is all right, but practically it amounts to little.
The plans for the Junior Prom. as outlined in the meeting of the class Thursday promise an event that shall be more truly one for the whole University. For the first time everybody who is to get a degree, whether he be a three year or a four year man, will be counted a senior. The move will do much to make the Prom. what it should be, and will do much to foster a unity of feeling among the departments of the University.
The choice of W. W. McCandless, a senior in the College this year and George J. Benson, L. L. B. '06, to appear on the program at the Democratic banquet at Topeka last night was a recognition of the talent and material turned out at Kansas University. To speak at one of these political banquets is a stepping stone to a political career and an honor that any young man with political aspiration can well look forward to. Both McCandless and Benson were given more press space than the average speaker at the banquet.
Paleontology Collection.
H. F. Martin, of the Paleontology department, received a letter yesterday from the U. S. Transport Thomas, which has just arrived in San Francisco, saying that they have just landed a large collection of recent skeletons consigned to the University of Kansas. These skeletons were collected in the Philippines by 1st Lieutenant Surgeon Clarence L. Cole, who graduated from the Medical school of the University and also took Paleontology under Dr. Williston. The University collection of fossil reptiles and skeletons is conceded to be the most complete and efficient of any in the country for comparative study. The skeletons and skulls of lizards and other reptiles sent by Dr. Cole will make a valuable addition to our collection.
