The students have ceased to worry over the legislative appropriation, but the monthly paternal appropriations are as perplexing and uncertain as ever.
With evening smokers for the men and pink teas for the girls student life at K.U. should really become as great a delight as Professor Carruth's poem pictures it.
If any person had made arrangements with the Kansan officials whose term of office has just lately expired in regard to items of news, he had better see the new management before any mistake is made.
In passing the Kansas University appropriation bill as originally framed without scarcely a dissenting voice the Kansas legislature seem to have fully realized the possibilities and needs of it great institution. The almost unanimous feeling was, too, a compliment to Chancellor Strong of especial significance since this years appropriation was the largest amount ever asked by the University. The state has indeed, in these "piping" times of prosperity, dealt generously with her educational institutions. And what does it mean to the University? That the next two years will be the greatest in the history of the University goes without saying. But, as Chancellor Strong says, it means more for the future
It may not be quite as dignified but the average student, with $25 a month allowance, can easily understand how it will be far more beneficial to the human race to discover a process to keep shirts from wearing out than to discover a dozen new chemical elements.
than the present. The assurance given in the appropriation that the legislature intends to deal with us in a progressive way is worth more than even the immense sum we received.
The track team is near the eve of a great contest. For two months now a large number of men have been working hard to make the team. Coach Hagerman has volunteered his services and is putting forth every effort to round up a team of athletes that can go down to Convention Hall and show that this year the victory belongs to Kansas. But as Uncle Jimmie Green said last fall before the Nebraska football game, the team alone cannot always win. It is the shout of five hundred voices sounding Rock Chalk that bears up the exhausted runner and lifts up the jumper another inch when otherwise his best effort had been made. Begin to plan now and when the 15th arrives let every loyal student that possibly can go down to Kansas City to help win that meet.

IMPORTANCE OF FELLOWSHIP.
Professor Duncan Tells What Mr. Faragher's Position Means.
The fellowship given to Fred Faragher by the Alden Spears Sons Company of Boston for the purpose of discovering improvements in the chemistry of laundering marks a wholly new relation between the University and State and is likely the most important fellowship that has ever been granted to a University student.
In an interview in regard to the purpose and possible effect of the fellowship Professor Duncan of the Industrial Chemistry department to whom the whole idea of the fellowship is due and through whom it was offered said:
"The sole purpose of the fellowship is the solution of the problems connected with the chemistry of laundering. The people of the country pay a laundry bill of nearly $20,000,000 per week and a sum vastly more than that to repair the fabrics which the laundry destroys. The launderers proceed with a joyous ignorance of the whole body of modern knowledge. We are going to try to change all that.
"In attacking the problem Mr. Faragher simply pts his youth and strength and creative powers against a problem which the company with its inside knowledge of the business believes to be soluble. If he succeeds he is to receive not merely the $500 per year but 1-10 of the value of all that he discovers and consequently if he can lessen the damages by a fraction of a per cent we shall be asking him to give the University a Fine Arts building.
"In addition to this, his business services will be required by the Alden Spears Sons Company at the expiration of the fellowship on a mutually satisfactory basis.
"Finally, and, that is where the University comes in, during the two years tenure of fellowship he must write a monograph on the subject for the use and benefit of the people.
