EDITORIAL COMMENT.
When the Chancellor expressed the hope in his talk yesterday morning that chapel attendance might be better this year than last he touched upon a matter of especial importance. The opinion exists in the student body that the special chapel exercises are something of a nature of a lottery. They have listened to speeches or panegyrics that in their judgment did not attain to the merit or dignity that a chapel utterance should have. There has been, in the past, and this year too, entertainment that has almost smacked of vaudeville, not unlike what might be enjoyed on the payment of a nickel or a dime down town. The plan of the chapel committee to provide features of entertainment after the religious part of the chapel service has been shown by the unusual attendance on Tuesdays and Fridays to be a wise one, and perhaps the attendance might be still larger if the students felt that the entertainment would always be on a par with the tastes and worthy of the intelligence of a University audience.
The patrons of the great game of football got the first true line on the ability of the Jayhawker machine this afternoon. A team may show up well or it may show up poor on paper, but only a contest can show its true merit. There is no doubt that the candidates for the team are more numerous and huskier than ever before. But as Coach Kennedy has said, the very number of good candidates may ruin the team's chances. Team work is the essential part of the gridiron game, and it is a harder proposition to get thirty men to learn to work together than to develop team work in only eleven good men. With coaches like Kennedy and Mosse, the team work will be well looked after so far as the coaching end of the game is concerned.
No better indication of the growth of the University can
be found than in the fact that the chapel, which a few years ago was commodious enough to hold the student body, was not sufficiently large at the Friday morning exercises to comfortably seat over two-thirds of those who sought admission. All the standing room was taken up and in addition hundreds did not attend because they could not get in the doors. The signs are that the time has come when the University will have to begin to use its larger auditorium.
The echoes of the commotion caused last spring by the edition of the Lawrence Journal have already reverberated from the shores of Europe. The London Public Opinion a few weeks ago contained a half page article giving a favorable account of the results of the story. During the summer two or three magazine articles appeared in New York publications. If Brady would give his paper over to the students for a week it would be better known than Ed Howe's paper.
The position of auditor or sergeant-at-arms of a class seems a mighty thankless one, but still there is that ever present chance that the incumbent may make a fraternity on the strength of it.
Notice to class politicians: A certain shoemaker of Lawrence has just received a consignment of gum shoes for the fall trade.
The political bee has been buzzing. Have you been stung yet?
Good evening. Have you been to the caucus?
In the Pharmacy School.
Dean Sayre of the Pharmacy school attended the meeting of the State Board of Health in Topeka Saturday. Arrangements were made for the testing of all drugs in the chemistry laboratory this winter. Professor Ziesle will devote his time to this work, which will be in connection with the agricultural department at Washington.
The enrollment in the Pharmacy school has reached ninety-two, the largest number that have ever enrolled at this time of the year. This is mainly due to the raising of the standard of the school in the last few years. The four year course has eight members this year. This is a large number when it is known that only three have been graduated from this course. Twelve are enrolled in the three year course.
Prof. L. D. Havenhill has
returned to take up his work in the Pharmacy school, having spent his leave of absence doing work for the United States Agricultural Department at Washington, D. C.
Burke Society Elects.
Members of the Burke Literary society met Friday evening and elected the following officers for the work of this school year; T. T. Shannon, president; H. F. Gorsuch, vice president; L. W. Breyfogle, secretary; G. D. Bischoff, treasurer; A. F. Livers, sergeant at arms; members of debating council, O. C. Hull and A. F. Livers.
Hunter on Inspection Trip.
Prof. S. J. Hunter of the entomology department of the University went to Princeton, Franklin county, Friday, to inspect the nursery stock grown in that vicinity and to see if any of the trees is infected with disease.As a member of the State entomological commission Professor Hunter has been making similar inspections at other points in the State during the summer.

George E. Putnam, 07, snaed from New York Monday, September 20, for England to begin work at Oxford University as the second Kansas man to secure the three years Cecil Rhodes scholarship. During the past school year Putnam has been attending Yale where he was granted a master's degree last June. He expects to follow out his political science course in Christ's Church college at Oxford. Besides being an excellent student during his two years at the University of Kansas, Putnam was a famous athlete. Earl W. Murray, assistant professor of Latin, was the first Rhodes scholar from Kansas University.
No Special Rates.
Owing to the two cent rate laws there will be no special rates to Lincoln for the N. U.-K. U. football game. In speaking of the affair Manager Lansdon said, "I have been in correspondence with the different railroads that run out of Lawrence and up to the present time I have been unsuccessful in obtaining any rates whatever."
Spent Summer in Holland.
John Van der Brook, student in the engineering school, spent the summer in Holland, visiting his parents. He had a fine time with friends he said but could not resist the desire to come back to old K. U.
