Today's copy of the Kansan will be the last edition published this school year. During the last three months in which the present officers have had charge of the paper we have tried to live up to the principles that were laid down at the beginning of our management. We have lost several news stories during this time and through mistake have failed to print some we have had. These are conditions that exist about every newspaper office. At the beginning of the new school year in September most all of the present Kansan board will be back and it shall be the aim of the editor to fill the paper with news and make it representative of every department of the University. We have appreciated the forbearance of our subscribers in the mistakes we have made and now at the close of the year we wish all a vacation replete with pleasure and profit.
While the Daily Nebraskan harps bitterly upon the decision of the officials on the awarding second place to Kansas in the two mile race Saturday, in another place it commends the students of Kansas in this way:
"Our men were very much pleased with the treatment received from the students. They showed themselves to be genuinely sportsmenlike in their attitude toward the visitors and even had the fairness and good feeling to applaud McDonald when he made 10 feet 9 inches in the vault, while the meet hung in the balance until this event was decided."
The spirit of the Jayhawker students toward our visitors is the kind of spirit that will win in the long run and bring honor to our institution. Let us love to win and see our athletes win but when a visiting athlete by any feat merits praise let us show that magnanimous spirit and give him applause.
After an examination yesterday a Professor was heard saying that he did not believe the wheat fields were the only places visited with "green bugs" and "parasites." During the last few days the class rooms have been visited by a creature whose habits are very similar
to the grain destroying insect. They come into the quiz room and square themselves up by the side of a conscientious student and so keen is their perception that a professor need not read but one paper in order to mark the grade for both.
During the summer it will be the duty of every loyal student of the University to find out how many of the graduating class from his own preparatory school are planning to go away to school and then tell them the advantages to be gained at Kansas University. In this way the thousands of graduates from the high schools of Kansas will receive encouragement and when school opens in September a larger first year class will be enrolled at Kansas than has ever been before.
Track athletics at Kansas have been greatly improved this year. In four meets this year the proteges of Coach Hagerman have won one meet, tied in one and lost two. In neither of the defeats was the score decisive, the first in Convention Hall being 371-2 to 471-2, and the Tiger's victory on McCook of 53 to 64. With Coach Hagerman's assistance in another year there is no reason why the Jayhawker bunch should not rank first in the Missouri Valley.
Wonder how many University students are practising a speech to deliver this summer for the purpose of selling books and views.
