ABOUT QUIZ WEEK.
The Kansan wishes to heartily endorse the movement that is now on foot looking to a reformation of the manner of conducting quizzes. The new plan which will come up before the university council for decision has many admirable features that will meet with the approval of the student body. There is no doubt but that it will relieve greatly much of the strain of quiz week which has fallen so heavily in the past both on the faculty and on the students.
No one can do justice to himself or to his subject when he is compelled to rush from one class to another, concentrating his mind for a short time on one subject, rushing through that quiz, trying to put two hours work in one, then entering another class-room and going through the same performance again that hour. After passing through several such quizzes in one morning no student can possibly be at his best.
The new system will do away with all this hurry and tear. At the worst a student cannot have more than two quizzes in a day and then he will have ample time to do his best on each of these. It will also leave decidedly more time for study for these quizzes. There is no possible chance of a conflict in hours. There is nothing that stands in the way of its adoption here.
The Kansan understands that there is no serious objections to the use of this system by the faculty. In fact several of the more prominent members are agitating its adoption If the university council could be shown that the students really wanted to try the new system there is hardly any doubt but that it would be granted. It is up to the students. If they want the new system, then let them say so. Let them tell their instructors that they are in favor of it.
Systems similar to the one proposed here are in vogue in other institutions of the country and have proved satisfactory. It seems to the Kansan

that it would be worth at least a trial here.
The visit to the University of such men as Prof. George B. Adams goes a long way towards emphasizing the growing cosmopolitanism of the institution. Professor Adams, as head of the American Historical Association and one of Yale's foremost scholars is familiar with the latest thought on his subjects. The visit of such men does much to stimulate scholarship along certain lines, and the lectures are a treat to those students specializing in history. The large audiences that attended the lectures daily were an indication that Professor Adams was appreciated by the students. The Kansan would like to see many such men as Professor Adams at the University.
Reports from Missouri say that a hundred athletes are working every day preparing for the coming track season. With such splendid facilities as the new gymnasium affords here at the University, there is no reason why there should not be two hundred Jayhawkers getting in training to beat the Tigers. Numbers count. Coach Hagerman must have the aid of
