URBANE ANGNEY.
Never has the Kansan been called upon to relate a sadder event than the tragedy that overtook the University Thursday morning. In the prime of life and at the very height of his successes, Urbane Angney, captain-elect of the football team, overtaken by one of those mysterious, inexplicable maladies of the mind, took his own life and in such a manner as to shock beyond expression the entire University body.
It is not for us to question the cause of the deed. It is one of those things that can never be understood; it is one of the mysteries of life. It is rather for us to join our sympathy and condolences with the bereaved family.
The entire University mourns its dead. A true gentleman in every respect, the idol of the students for his wonderful work on the gridiron and unswerving devotion to his University, Urbane Angney leaves a host of friends who grieve over his untimely death.
There are many who will remember him by his brilliant work on the gridiron, by his spectacular dodging, his "bulldog" pluck and grit. Always a true sportsman, always giving everything that was in him, a brilliant individual player, a field general of the highest order, even tempered and a natural leader, he won the admiration of friend and foe alike. It was these sterling qualities that gave him the earned captaincy for next fall.
There are others who will remember him as a student in the class room as well as an athlete. Seldom does it fall to the lot of an individual to be proficient in so many athletic sports as was Angney. Few indeed are the men who could have devoted as much time as he did to fighting his University's battles on the gridiron and on the diamond and yet keep square in his studies. To Angney it was a part of his duty to his school to keep his scholastic record clear in order that he could use his athletic talents.
He was conscientious and painstaking in his school work and had the wholesome respect of all his instructors.
Then there were still others, fewer indeed than the legion that knew him through his fame on the gridiron or the many who met him in the class room—those who knew Angney the man, his qualities as a true gentleman, as an athlete, and as a friend. On these few who were privileged to call him friend will fall heaviest the blow of his sudden, tragic death.
To these friends, to the bereaved family, the Kansan extends its most sincere and heartfelt sympathy.
It is now but three weeks until the final quizes of the term. Of all things that play havoc with the permanency of the Freshman class that first quiz week is the most devastating. Some of the freshmen perhaps are already planing for the home going. But to the despairing ones, let it be said, "Take Cheer." Wonders may be done in three weeks. What now seems sure failure may be turned into victory. And think what it means to fail in the first term. We will laugh when you are gone, and your friends at home will smile when you get home.
The best plan is to get busy, pass the quizes, and stay in school.
Williams-Ward.

Clearance Sale
The '08 Jayhawker will be the largest and most elaborate ever published by the seniors of Kansas University according to the plans being made by the staff. The edition will be limited in number in order that the whole output may be sold at once. The idea is to sell the annual on subscription in order to make sure that the business manager will not lose money on the proposition.
A large number of senior pictures are already in, and active work on this department will begin at once.
The assignments of the various departments have not been given out as yet, but will be published soon.
