EDITORIAL COMMENTS
Yale is to be congratulated; Kansas is looking for consolations. In the loss of Professor Abbott the University loses one of the shining stars of its faculty and Yale secures a man who will take a place there as one of the school's foremost scholars. Under the direction of Professor Abbott the European history department of the University of Kansas has taken a position second to none in the country. Professor Abbott leaves a position that will be hard to fill; he accepts a position he can honor by his occupancy.
The new walks to the gymnasium will much improve the present conditions. On rainy days the narrow planks now used are entirely inadequate.
The study of the classic languages seems to be decaying at Baker. One of the orators at the little college seems to know little of the distinction between meum and tuum. When a coming preacher of the gospel, from a school where the teaching of strict morality is rumored to be its sacred purpose, steals an oration on temperance in order to win a prize from the good religious people who are keeping up his school, it is time to despair of the possibility of ever teaching the coming generation honesty.
With Dr. Lyman Abbott lecturing every day, a few hundred Bible institute visitors around the University, the picture exhibit still in full blast, the meeting of the state teachers association Friday and the visit of Professor McLaughlin, one of the greatest historians in the United States, there ought to be plenty going on to interest the average student.
A New York paper has recently taken trouble to investigate college courtesy as it exists at different institutions. Among the schools where the underclassmen tip the hat to upperclassmen and to the members of
the faculty are: Columbia, Cornell, Princeton, Brown, Yale, Stanford, Pennsylvania, Purdue, Indiana, Colgate, Hobart, and California. Most of the western universities are too democratic for such business, but Nebraska suggests that she might adopt the custom if it was understood that the younger members of the faculty are not to be included.
Testing Flavoring Extracts.
The chemists in the food laboratory are working on the composition of flavoring extracts and vinegar which are common on the market. The result shows that many of these have not yet met the requirements of the pure food law.
Working on Fossils.
The workmen in the Paleontology department are working on the fossils collected three years ago on the John Day river in Oregon. These specimens are known as Merycoidodonts, and when complete will form a valuable series.

Talks to Scoop Club.
H. R. Palmer, assistant city editor of the Kansas City Star, gave an interesting talk on "Newspaper Types" before the Scoop Club Thursday evening at the Sigma Chi course. He told some interesting stories of his experiences as a reporter during the flood times several years ago. Mr. Palmer has been connected with the Star for six years. Mr. L. N. Flint and F. W. Brinkerhoff were guests of the Club.
Greek Statue Injured.
A bronze statue, known as The Discuss Thrower, was received last week by the Greek department. It was seriously damaged in shipping and is being repaired by H. T. Martin of the Paleontology department. As soon as complete it will be placed on exhibition in the Classical Museum.
Prof. and Mrs. H. O. Kruse went to Halstead Friday to attend the golden wedding of Mrs. Kruse's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Kreviel. Three of the Kreviel family have graduated from the University.
Dr. Clara Holst went to Ottawa Friday to visit Professor Pirschner and to talk before the Ottawa German Verein. Miss Pirschner will talk before the University Verein in the near future on "Superstitions of the German People."
Part of the cement walks to the Gymnasium building will be laid before Commencement. Yesterday the committee on grounds made an inspection preparatory to the beginning of this work.
