In the last week's issue of Harper's Weekly is an article by President Charles F. Thwing, of Western Reserve University entitled "The College President and the Undergraduate." He tells of the great friendship that existed between President Eliot and the student body. By numerous examples he shows that many of the great educators of this country and England have been men of extremely democratic habits who have been on familiar terms, not only with their own students but often with the entire student body. There is probably a greater segregation of student body and faculty body at University of Kansas than is the case at any of the large universities in the country. There must be a cause for it here. What is it?
Professor Bryant says he had a monotonous round of five or six kinds of vegetables while at Harvard and a staple lot of deserts. Well that is a great deal better than having a monotonous round of one or no vegetables as is often the case here. And as for the desert—well, prunes are very good but as one student says, when the hash and prunes are mixed on Sunday and put out as mince meat, the subject of deserts becomes unpleasant to discuss.
There was an election at Columbia, Mo. not long ago in which the "drys" were victorious. Then the "wets" asked for a recount asserting that students that were ineligible had voted in the election. The "drys" agreed to throw out the student votes and after the recount it was found that the number of "wet" votes had fallen off in about the same proportion as student votes had been thrown out.
Rev. Frank Crane, who bears the title of Preacher of the University of Chicago, says that not one professor in twenty knows how to teach and not one student in a hundred does what is required of him. But pray how would a student find time to make Phi Beta Kappa if he did all that was required of him.
Following is a news item taken from College Life the student paper at the College of Emporia:
"K. S. A. C. entertained the Kansas legislature last week.
Professor Bryant says he paid $5.04 for board while at Harvard. Now candidly would you suspicion, judging by outward appearances, that he had ever fared so sumptuously?
The visit was to determine the advisability of removing the engineering department to K. U. It will not be done."
The Pacific Daily Wave, of the University of Washington, insists on calling the graduate club the "has been" club.

Medical Students at Penn Face New Rules.
Following the agitation for more thorough preparation of medical students for college degrees, carried on by leading physicians some months ago, the University of Pennsylvania, in its catalog for the present year announces that new requirements have been made for students entering the medical college. The catalog has been issued within the last few days.
It is announced that hereafter applicants for admission to the medical department in addition to the requirements demanded last fall must furnish evidence of having completed the freshman year at a college of recognized scholastic standing, or will have to undergo an examination covering subjects usually contained in first year work. In the fall of 1910 it is proposed to insist upon two years college work or its equivalent prior to taking up the study of medicine.
Their certificates must also cover two languages other than English, one of which must be either French or German. The second may be Latin, Greek or a modern tongue. In the summer school of the college, courses will be offered to those preparing to meet the new requirements. Several courses have been added in the law department, and also to the department of psychology.
