Professor Bryant in a second letter to The Kansan deprecates the fact that The Kansan does not view favorably the prices of living that now prevail in Lawrence. He says it shows an absence of patriotism on the part of the University paper. That the lack of patriotism—it is which he says troubles him. Well as for our ailment we may say it is more acute. It is a question of whether or not we shall pay extortionate prices for board and room. If it shows a lack of patriotism to try to correct those faults which one sees in an institution of which one is a part then we are willing to be unpatriotic. Patriotism does not consist, as we understand it, in submitting to what you believe to be injustices, it does not consist in kow-towing to what is, just for the reason that it is, it does not consist in being afraid to speak for what one believes to be right for the fear that some material loss may come. Why, that argument is the same old "let alone" talk that came from the defenders of the East Side last year when the unpatriotic action of the law enforcement element was playing havoc with their business. We must remember that it is not always patriotism to the University to be patriotic to high board and extortionate room rent, no more than it is patriotic to Lawrence to defend the liquor traffic.
Of the nineteen baseball games to be played by Kansas next spring only five are with schools in this state. Of the eight schools on the schedule six are outside the bounds of Kansas, and Bethany and Manhattan are the only state schools with which contests are booked. This is another move in the direction of confining the competitive activities of the University to schools worthy of Kansas. At the present time debates are held only with schools of the size or standing of the University and the steady growth of the school insures, as sure as fate, the time when in contests in every line of endeavor Kansas will compete only with the large schools of the west. This will force the elimination of every state school from the different schedules of the University with the possible exception of Manhattan. There is a possibility of losing everything and no chance of gaining anything for a large school to hold contests with schools far below it in size.

SHERIDAN SPOKE IN CHAPEL.
He Favors Large Appropriations for State Institutions.
"I believe in liberal education based upon liberal appropriations by the state legislature for state institutions," said Barney Sheridan, in chapel yesterday. "I agree with Horace Mann in that we must educate or perish. Only three or four from every thousand of the Kansas young people have the opportunity of attending the University. Those who have that opportunity are clothed with the greatest responsibility."
Mr. Sheridan believes that large educational institutions are absolutely necessary. He sees in the future the time when every acre of Kansas soil will be occupied by more than one Kansan. To keep pace with such a growth the University must have appropriations.
As advice to the students he said in conclusion: "Don't try to cover to much territory. Be thorough in everything as far as you go."
For more than thirty years, Mr. Sheridan has been chief owner of The Western Spirit, which is published in Paola. He was editor of the Kansas City Post in its first year of existence. His nephew, Barney Sheridan, last year graduated from the College. He is now a student at Yale.
A Story in Kansas Magazine.
Miss Muriel Culp, of Lawrence, a student in the college for the past two years, will have a short story in the next issue of the Kansas magazine. The sketch will bear the title, "Jane Orchard," and its setting is in the time of the Quantrell raid in Kansas.
