Chancellor Strong but voiced the sentiment of the democratic West in his excellent chapel talk yesterday when he said, "There is no place for the snob at K. U." The college is and always should be an essentially democratic institution, and when "gilded aristocracy" finds a place in it the modern university has failed in its purpose. The question of the building of dormitories at the University, which he also dwelt upon at some length, is a vital one. To care for such an enrollment as the University is now attaining, cannot but be a serious problem which needs immediate attention. The dormitory idea is not a new one at the University but has been considered thoughtfully for years as a possible solution of the problem of caring for the students. The next two years will probably see some definite steps taken toward the establishment of such a system here.
The record of enrollment for this year will include some interesting and alarming figures. It is said there are between 500 and 600 students who were here last year and should have returned this year who have not yet put in an appearance. There are 900 new students in school. About 100 of those who did not return made failures last year. But how account for the other half a thousand students who have dropped out. Reasons outside the university can account for a large number of students falling out, but undoubtedly the conditions surrounding students here are not as they are in some schools. What is needed is a more unified body of students. Make university life more attractive. For this purpose the idea of dormitories is a good one.
When it comes to pass that in the midst of the "rushing" season the four sororities give a joint entertainment for prospective pledges it is time to quote those lines from the Bible which begins "And the lamb shall lie down with the lion."
If Thompson made as much money correspondingly as the
average member of the K. U. book agent army that travels over Kansas each summer, in the fifteen years he has had, he ought to have enough money to go to school the next fifteen years.
Registrar George Foster says he knows of half a dozen freshmen who have already gone home disgusted with the effort to find the classes. The lot of a freshman is unnecessarily hard. It would be a very easy matter for the university to alleviate the confusion that always occurs with the freshman.
The snob in the long run snobs himself.
