FOR A STUDENTS' DAY.
Every spring since time out of mind a group of students, a few members of the faculty and The Kansan have regularly agitated a Students' day. The matter has already been discussed this year. Professor Carruth and other members of the faculty have favored the plan, and several from the student body have become interested in the scheme. If the students want a day set aside to themselves they can get it. The plan advocated is to have a long chapel given up to speakers from the student body. Representatives from the college, the school of Engineering, the school of Law and from the school of Medicine in Rosedale would deliver addresses on whatever theme they wished to discuss. These speakers would be chosen by ballot by the different schools interested. Some years ago a students' day was tried and it proved a great success.
Two championships decided in Missouri Valley athletics and two diamond studded belts for Kansas teams, is the record thus far this season. And the year is only a little more than half over. The propensity of the Jayhawkers to gobble up nearly every thing that is not nailed down on the athletic map is paralleled only by Chicago University. The big city school has a mania to annex at least a half of the championships floating around in the Chicago conference. For that reason Chicago is the one big thing in the Lake Michigan region. It begins to look to casual observers as if Kansas was preparing to be the Chicago of the Big Seven. The University might as well compose itself right now and with becoming dignity wear the honors appertaining to so enviable a position. The sterling athletes of Captain Crowell and Captain Woodward have finished. In another month Captain "Swede" Carlson and his swatters will be turned loose upon the unsuspecting Valley baseball teams. Before spring mellows into summer the Conference penant is likely to unfurl itself to
the Kansas breeze on the McCook ball lot.
Governor Stubbs has made a new and good rule respecting the governing boards of state schools. He has not appointed any person to membership on the board of regents of any school who lives in the town in which the institution is located. A regent from Manhattan or Lawrence or Emporia is quite likely to be prejudiced toward the school in his home town. The new rule caused A. C. Mitchell, one of the staunchest and ablest defenders of the University, to be dropped. It also caused a particularly aggressive and forward regent of the State Agricultural School to retire.
Spoke on the Specialist.
Rev. O.C. Brown, pastor of the Lawrence Baptist church, spoke in chapel Friday morning on the specialist and the work which he accomplishes. He believes that school work includes both drudgery and a pleasant experience. The pleasure comes in the advance work, in the harder and more technical courses when the student is an investigator and an explorer to a certain extent. The specialist not only gratifies natural inclinations but opens for himself a larger place of usefulness. Mr. Brown mentioned Chancellor Snow, Elias Howe and others who had been useful to mankind by specializing along certain lines.
