What would a college be without football? How do these unfortunate people who attend Baker or some other institution where the great college game is not on the "bill of fare" manage to live through the melancholy fall months? If it wasn't for the game of football could the student body ever get up enough enthusiasm to march five hundred strong down the main street of the city? If it were not for the great game what would "Uncle Jimmie" make his great speeches about? Well, these are all questions for the sociologist and psychologist to philosophize about. But as for us, Coach Hagerman, and a few thousand others, we are willing to kick up a row and imitate a lunatic to the best of our ability without inquiring the why or the wherefore. However, the Kansan proposes to institute a wind-jamming contest free to all comers after the football season has closed and there is nothing in particular to talk about. Almost any one can make a chapel talk that will draw cheers, groans, laughter and tears from the audience when he is intoxicated with the enthusiasm that immediately precedes a big football game. Obviously, in the Kansan's contest the speaker will have to "make good" on the merits of his utterances, and a much truer estimate can be formed as to just who are the great orators of K. U.
"Why is it," a modest freshman asks, "that the mathematics professors always try to be so sarcastic?" The lot of the freshman in K. U. is particularly hard, for he is herded with droves of his fellows in classes presided over by fierce young instructors in their first year of University teaching. He has not been here long enough to know that the bark of these fledgling professors is much worse than their bite,—is, indeed, by far the largest part of them. "Take your hand down. You look like the statue of liberty," one instructor is reported to have said the other day to a freshmen seeking enlightenment. The abashed freshman will doubtless be more cautious in future in his pursuit of knowledge. In most the eastern schools every full professor teaches one or more classes of freshmen. Here the freshmen hardly know a full professor by sight. They dimly hope some time to take work under the heads of departments, but it is only a vague dream of the distant future. If the people of the state only knew it, the increasing enrollment of students is not necessarily a sign that the University is prospering in the best way. An increase in faculty enrollment would go far to reduce the number of students who disappear after the freshmen year and make it possible to graduate more than 150 seniors from what was originally a class of 800.
The honor system at the University of Mississippi prohibits drunkenness. Infringements of the system are punished by class representatives.

Afterthoughts
Hot shots from Dodd Gason in Topeka Capital: Decorative note: The football management at Lawrence has made all the necessary arrangements to equip the team quarters with another tiger skin rug,... Between halves at Lincoln this afternoon K. U. and Nebraska will also try to determine which school has the worst band,... Student's leg was broken in a cap fight at Washburn yesterday. The higher education is full of unseen perils.
The Tiger is rapacious. He has devoured already a bear and a drake. Will he be able to get a jayhawk too? - University Missourian.
No, Tiger, no; this all-meat diet has gone far enough. A little wind pudding for desert will wind up this season's repast very nicely.
Vesper Service.
Now that the girls of Miss Hyde's physiology class have filled the boys of the class up with salt-rising bread, isn't it about time for our yellow correspondent to get busy on another "school of matrimony" story?
The special features of the Vesper Service Sunday will be an address by Bishop Griswold, an anthem from Gounod's Mass with solo, chorus, piano, organ and violin. Professor C.E.Hubach will be assisted by Professor Carl Preyer at the piano, Miss Cook at the organ and Miss Phipps as violinist.
Harold Henry will give a piano recital in Fraser Hall Tuesday evening as the second number of the Fine Arts course.
Bertha Sallee, a freshman in the college, has withdrawn from school and returned to her home in Hutchinson.
