PLENTY OF WORK FOR BOTH SCHOOLS.
A bill has been introduced in the state legislature and also the state senate which defines the work of both the Kansas State Agricultural College and the State University. The move to remove the engineering school to Lawrence is supported by one of the regents of the Manhattan school, Edwin Taylor. The school at Manhattan is of course strongly opposed to the proposed change. If the school of Mechanic Arts was brought to Lawrence it is undoubtedly true that it would mean much for the State University, while it might mean a temporary set back for the Agricultural College. It would however, mean a tremendous saving for the state and would place both institutions in a position to go forward along definite lines in the performance of the boundless work that is just ahead of public higher educational institutions. The State Agricultural College need not suffer by the removal of some of its courses in mechanic arts and the sciences to the State University. The work that the Manhattan school can do in agriculture is tremendous and has only just begun. By concentrating all her energies or the problems of the cultivation of the soil and the life of the farmer she will not find a scarcity of work. But whatever is the outcome of the present agitation to define the work of the two schools, the broader question of rendering some service to the state should be the aim of both schools. The question whether one school teaches agronomy or the other teaches bridge construction or via versa is not of so much importance as that both schools push forward to aid in the progress of the state. The division and definition of the courses in each school is only to increase the efficiency of both schools and it need not lessen the possibilities for work which is now presented
to both. It is a ridiculous spectacle to see two great educational institutions, going on the assumption that there is just so much education in the state to dispense, and fighting to see which school shall do the dispensing.
If some of those who are crying that university professors are too impractical to hold public office could read the story contained in Professor Duncan's report of the way in which the state of Wisconsin is run better by University men than it has ever been run before, they would be appalled at their own stupidity.
It is now getting the time of the year when the dilatory student can begin to have a keen appreciation of those lines of Shakespeare:
"So you, to study now, 'tis too late, Climb o'er the house to unlock the little gate."
When the new list of Phi Beta Kappa members comes out, unless you are one of the fortunate few, it is well to be one of those who hoped for little and then your disappointment will not be grievous.
NEW YORK UNION MET.
Old K. U. People Spoke and Sang University Songs.
The New York Union of Graduates and former students of the University of Kansas has planned to hold five meetings in the future. The first of these meetings was held at the Bronx Park restaurant Friday evening.
Professor Franklin of Lehigh University presided. Professor W. C. Abbott of Yale talked on "The University of Kansas," and Laura E. Lockwood of Wellesley responded to the toast "College Awakening." Some of the other speakers were Eugene C. Caldwell of New York on "Science," Hervey White of New York on "Kansans Away From Home," Mrs. Gertrude C. Davenport on "Mrs. Carruth—a memorial," and Edwin E. Slosson on "Chancellor Snow—a memorial."
Mrs. Blanche Lyons sang a solo and led the Union in singing. At seven o'clock the meeting began with the singing of "The Crimson and the Blue" and later the Alumni song was sung by the Union.
At the regular meeting of the Quill Club last week the following new members were elected from among the students recommended by the English department as having done good work in courses in writing: Miss Sarah White, R. K. Dietrich, Fay Livengood, Miss Grace Thestrup, Miss Viola Shefler, Miss Gertrude Eson, Clifford Cole, Gail Sutton, Lucy Buck and Alice Asher.
