THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 1909
The suggestion made by Chancellor Strong that it may be more important for the state to establish a department of agriculture at the University than to maintain a school of engineering at the Agricultural College is referred to by the Topeka Capital this morning as a "counterplot" and "ruse" or the part of the University to take the school of engineering away from the Agricultural College. But the suggestion is entitled to consideration on its merits. As the Chancellor pointed out in his report to the governor, farming is and must remain the greatest industry of Kansas. If the provisions of the state constitution had been carried out by establishing the agricultural school as one department of the University, the student who intended to go back to the farm after he had finished his course could get his specialized training in agriculture and at the same time do some University work. In this way the service which the University was designed to render the state could be greatly extended.
There is one appropriation the University is asking for that from the viewpoint of the welfare of the student body is the most important of all the sums asked for. This is the request made for $75,000 for the erection of a girls' dormitory. The girls of the University should take a special interest in this matter whether they would be benefited by a dormitory or not. At one of the northern state universities the girls met and chose a committee of about twenty beautiful co-eds to visit the legislature and some of them made speeches. Of course the appropriation went through with a hurrah. Why not do the same thing here.
The Kansan gets many communications that are unsigned. These can not ordinarily be published. All communications should be signed, but the name will not be printed if requested.
Kemp Shares This One.
Someone said: You can't write a man down by writing him up.
The following communication from Wallace Notestein who was an instructor in history here two years ago, but is now at the University of Minnesota, is self-explanatory. In justice to The Kansan it can be stated that the facts upon which the editorial comment in The Kansan was based were secured from The Michigan Daily.
Editor Kansan:—Your editorial on the University of Minnesota is interesting as illustrating the possibilities of error in twenty lines. The Medical School here does not and never has required Sunday attendance. At the request of some students a review class was to meet on Sunday. Before the first meeting the arrangement was stopped by the authorities. Two professors instead of six are to be retired and they are both going out on Carnegie pensions. Your remarks about "trampling on heaven and humanity and sentiment and all the finer things that make life worth living" are delightful.
The Kansan never fails to be entertaining. Only one favor I have to ask-give us a relief from Harry Kemp and all your other sins will be forgiven.
Amicably Yours,
WALLACE NOTESTEIN.
"Spread" in Snow Hall.
The class in elementary zoology will give a "spread" or banquet in the basement of Snow Hall, Friday evening. The spread will commence at 6 o'clock, after which taffy pulling and the popping of corn will follow. At eight o'clock dancing will commence. The boys of the class who originated the idea, will bear the expense of the evenings entertainment. The young ladies will prepare the food and make the candy. The guests are limited to the members of the class and the professors.
Did it occur to you that "Quiz Week" is about here and that you should own

for your work? A dollar and a quarter Pen will make "1's" every time. Just drop in and look at them.

Contemplate Change in Requirement.
The committee on Catalogue and Course of Study will meet Friday to consider changing the English Literature requirement, so that the composition courses need not be preceded by Eighteenth Century Literature. Much complaint has been made against the present rule, which requires that EighteenthCentury Literature precede all advance courses in the English department.
Track Election Next Wednesday.
Manager W. C. Landon has posted a notice for a meeting of the track team, to be held Wednesday, January 27. The purpose is to elect a new captain for the team, to fill the place made vacant by Captain Dennis' resignation. The two candidates for the place are Cecil Newbold and Edward C. Cooley, both men of ability. Those who participated in any of last year's meets are eligible to vote in the election.
Dr. Sheldon will speak to the Socialogy classes on Thursday and Friday afternoons.
