K. U. WANTS A CALL FROM
K. S. A. C.
The students of the University of Kansas extend to the students of the State Agricultural College a most sincere invitation to visit the University on the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. The University has always felt kindly towards the school at Manhattan. Both are engaged in the same work. Both draw their support from the same source—the generosity of the people of Kansas.
It was perhaps an unfortunate move that made two schools where there should have been but one. But the error once made can not be unmade and it behooves the two schools to be on terms as friendly as their separate existence will permit. Each should be acquainted with the other. Each should be willing to cooperate with the other in promoting the higher education of the state. The welfare of the state is the aim of both schools and the furtherance of the great work in which they are engaged is paramount to the growth of either institution.
Students of Manhattan, the students of Lawrence want you to come to the University on February 12. They want you to come in the interest of both schools, in the interest of higher education, in the interest of the state of which the students in both schools are the beneficiaries. We want an expression of the good will from the students in the Agricultural College similar to the feeling of good will which the University feels for the Agricultural College.
On February 12 the University of Kansas intends to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. On that day Willis Gleed will deliver an address on the life of that great American. Mr. Gleed is a great student of the life of Lincoln. It is said that he has read every word the civil war statesman ever uttered and nearly all the comment that was made on him by his host of brilliant contemporaries. What a fitting occasion it is for the state university to bring together the students and faculty of her two great educational institutions and the members of the state government to pay a respect to the memory of that president who more than any
other has his official life connected with the birth and early life of Kansas history. May not the institution at Lawrence and the institution at Manhattan receive renewed encouragement in their work from that meeting, and may not the legislature go back to its work feeling that the money spent on higher education in Kansas has been well spent. Why not have that day mark the turning point in higher education in Kansas. Already one who listens can see that state education is turning its attention to the masses of the people, not content with the education of the few. It is becoming democratic. In its influences possibilities for social and material welfare loom conspicuous in the future. "Sending a state to school" is no small thing, but it is the ideal that the state university and state agricultural college should set for themselves. The

The Baker Orange proudly boasts this week that it has acquired a new local editor who had six months training in the K. U. school of journalism, "where they teach the yellow kind." It is feared that the new scribe may be a poor advertisement for our school of yellow journalism. He is sure to wear his young life away in vain if he sets out to put any deeper tint on the Orange than it has at present.
What an embarrassing moment that was when the new editor of the Baker Orange let his pen slip and wrote that Senator "Beverage" worked his way through college.
