--and called the University of Missouri, smiled and cast a satisfied glance at K. U. But ere quiz week of 1908 has become history Kansas will have an answer ready for Missouri, and it will be "We are here Missouri, 2,000 strong, and if you want to count the agricultural students we will balance almost 4,000 against your 2,000." The enrollment needs only about 20 more names to pass the coveted mark, and then Lawrence will be the scene of parades, bonfires and perhaps other good things. It will certainly be a time for rejoicing; for then the University will begin striving for the 3,000 mark, which when reached will place the University of Kansas along side the greatest institutions of learning in the United States.
ABOUT CHAPEL ATTENDANCE.
Why doesn't the faculty attend chapel in larger numbers than it has been doing during the past few weeks? Thursday morning out of the hundred instructors at the University only sixteen saw fit to attend the morning exercises and while this number was unusually small, it furnishes a criterion as to what the attendance has been right along since the opening month or two of school.
Now it is far from the wisn of the Kansan to criticise the faculty, especially at the beginning of quiz week, but nevertheless it would like to modestly suggest that some members of the faculty get the habit of dropping around to chapel once in a while at least. There are a few students and quite a few instructors who have hardly been seen in chapel this year. Of course they should not be censured for not attending chapel on "Tuesday",but on other days it is their duty to attend semi-occasionally at least. It is the one time of the day that the University gets together as a university and all school lines are forgotten, and as the one University exercise should be made more important. The Kansan only wants to suggest that a little better attendance on the part of the faculty might increase that on the part of the students.
Slowly, but surely as the time for the new semenster approaches, the enrollment is nearing the 2,000 mark. Last year the University of Missouri, located in a state twice the size of Kansas passed the coveted goal; and there was a holiday, and parades and bonfires by the students and joy unconfined. Then the State Agricultural College and State University, both situated at Columbia Mo.,

The quarantine has brought out the need of a cottage or private University hospital for students who have contagious diseases. As soon as a student becomes sick he is not wanted at a boarding house or club and is placed in a dilapidated building where everything is against his recovery. James V. Adams is confined in a little house on Haskell Avenue, where there are no modern conveniences. The Hospital Asso-
It will not be long before you'll see quite a number of men in this vicinity---"kicking themselves."
It will be all right for they will simply kick themselves because they neglected to take advantage of our Clearance Sale and buy Clothing, Hats and Furnishings at cut prices.
Don't be of the number who feel like kicking themselves, but come to our sale and get your money's worth.
The kicking will commence when our sale is over and the regular prices are restored.
We'll hitch the biggest load to your dollar that it ever drew.
The New Hats for Spring are here-STETSON and IMPERIAL.
ciotion is too weak to carry out the plan of a private hospital so it should be the duty of the University to provide a suitable place for its sick students suffering from diseases.
IMPROVING THE MUSEUM.
Artifical Ledges and Cliffs Are Being Built.
A great amount of work is being done in the Natural History building along the line of making artificial ledges and cliffs. Besides the half circle on the west side of the building the whole north and south ends of the first floor are being devoted to this work. On the west side of the south part of the museum a large chalk cliff, similar to those of Western Kansas, has been built, showing the erosions of both the wind and rain. In the same room two different types of limestone ledges are being built. Photographs were taken of bluffs near Lawrence and these used in making the ledges in the Museum. A gap was made between the two ledges in which a canyon will be painted, extending the cliffs to the background. Scenery will be portrayed upon the walls, and the ceiling painted to represent the sky. Small animals common to Kansas will be placed here and there among the rocks. In the north end of the first floor an old washed-down hill and a slope of red granite boulders is being built.
To Entertain Pharmics.
On Friday evening of next week the students of the Pharmaceutical Society will be entertained by the Dean and Mrs. Sayre at the Alpha Tau house. One part of the entertainment will be an illustrated talk on interesting Oriental views by Prof. A.M.Wilcox.
Jennings in School Again.

Claude Jennings, who dropped out of school just before Christmas, will enter the University at the beginning of the second term. Jennings was one of the pitchers of the University baseball squad last year and his reentering school will make the pitching staff of the school considerable stronger.
