AVE ATOUE VALE
Next week in fulfillment of its mission to the State, the University will send out a senior class to take a place in the life and work of the outside world. That a sojourn of four years under the care of the University will make better citizens, in every meaning of that word, out of all who avail themselves of it, is a proposition to which this University owes its existence, and which the State backs up with its millions of money.
And no one who has known the members of this year's class can doubt that they will be leading citizens wherever they cast their lot. For four years they have pursued their studies with credit, and all the enterprises conducted by the class as a whole have been noted for their success. Good luck to the class of 1908! May it make a name for itself, and may it never forget the ideals of which the Alma Mater is the visible symbol.
The summer vacation intervenes between this and the next issue of the Kansan,—at first thought a long time, yet in reality only a few weeks will elapse before the returning throng ascends the hill to register and the long-drawn thunder of Rock! Chalk! urges the gladiators of the gridiron on to victory. The University is a growing school, not only in numbers, but in the breadth of its interests, and many new projects which have been put on foot by faculty and student body this year will come up next fall for further consideration and settlement. The new system of optional selection of studies will be inaugurated, the University hospital association will be of greater service to the student body, and doubtless something will be done about the improvement of quiz week conditions. The question of student control will be resurrected, and weighty questions of class and University politics will test the mettle of our statesmen. Altogether, it will be a lively and pleasant continuation of this year's activities, and readers of the Kansan who are interested in these questions are assured that the discussion of them will be "continued in our next."
Most innovations in college life, like innovations elsewhere, are short-lived, but the May fete is one that ought to be kept. The beauty and novelty of the pageant this year was a surprise to everybody who had never seen anything of the kind before. Students of succeeding years owe to themselves the enjoyment of such a spectacle.
Here's hoping that a larger percentage of this year's student body than from that of any previous year will get to come back to the hill as alumni to carry Red and Blue umbrellas in the commencement parade!
