THE CHANCELLOR'S GREETING
Following the custom of former years, the Chancellor takes the opportunity offered by the Kan-
san to extend a welcome home again to the students of the University of Kansas. Already the University spirit is showing itself more powerful than ever, and the standards of University life are becoming higher and higher. The year just beginning is likely to be one of great importance to the University in many ways. The students that come to us for the first time should get into the best spirit and tradition of the institution, and, like the students of past years, make up their minds to self-control and the sacrifice of some of their inclinations for the good of the institution. Few of the two thousand and more who are enrolling this year will ever go to another university, and what the University of Kansas shall be in the future will determine entirely the worth of their university connection. He is a fortunate man indeed who has behind him in after life the influence and power of a great university. FRANK STRONG.
TO THE FRESHMAN
During the whirl and buzz of the opening weeks at the University it is well for the first year man to stop a moment and consider that school life here is not all joy and glitter as it seems in the busy days at the beginning of them. Last year an alarming number of freshmen failed at the first term finals, merely because they continued the good times of University life to an excess and failed to realize the value of good hard study till it was too late. It is of great importance to the new student to stop every day or two and remind himself of the fact that he came here primarily for an education,and
not for the fun of the thing.
Just now there is a small cloud in the horizon. It is scarcely noticeable, but will grow black and ominous at the last of the term to the unfortunate who forgets his business here. The cloud is the first quiz week. Watch it grow.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Of course every new student will take advantage of the cheap rate to all the athletic games and student entertainments by investing in a Student Enterprise ticket. And no cheaper form of sick insurance can be found than membership in the University Hospital Association.
It is a fact of some significance that W. P. Hackney of Winfield, who was a candidate for nomination for the Legislature with the single plank in his platform of reducing the appropriations of the University, failed in his political aspirations and his district will be represented by a thinker of less mediaeval tendencies. As long as the University spends its money as profitably to the State as it does at present, the taxpayers may be counted on to foot the bills cheerfully.
Those impecunious members of the student body who have been wont to line up under the windows of the Chancellor's office to inhale rich whiffs from the ten, fifteen, and twenty-five cent cigars during the regents' meetings may view with alarm the proposed addition of a woman member to the board.
The report that sunset-at-sea effects are to be tabooed in men's socks this year promise well for a season of studious quiet at the library.
Along with the other numerous activities attendant on the opening of the University,

the political clubs will doubtless proceed to get busy in this presidential year of grace. And it will not be surprising if school politics form a decided contrast to the peaceful calm that brooded over the hill last year.
Petition to the Governor Being Circulated among Alumni.
FOR A WOMAN REGENT.
A petition to the governor of Kansas asking him to appoint a woman as member of the Board of Regents of the University has been circulated among the alumni during the summer. The movement to secure a woman regent is headed by Kate Stephens, '75, who made a talk on the subject at the University dinner last commencement.
The petition sets forth the claim that since K. U. is a coeducational school, women have a right to be represented on the Board of Regents, and makes reference to the good work done by women regents at other schools where the plan has been tried.About 150 graduates in Lawrence have signed the petition.

You Young Chaps!
If you want the satisfaction of knowing that no man or youth in the land is dressed in more perfect taste than you are this fall, select your suit from any one of the various
sets of new models now exhibited in our youths' department. Some of the designs are extreme, of course, but no one can say that they are not thoroughly in accord with good taste, culture, and refinement. It is, in a word, the most perfectly complete array of young men's swagger, fashionable suits this community has viewed in years. Every garment in every line is a brand new and authoritative design for this fall and winter.
