SATURDAY, MAY 29, 1909 With this number of The Kansan we bid our numerous patrons and readers a brief farewell. The past year in nearly every respect has been the most glorious that the University has ever enjoyed and there is no reason that the institution should not continue to grow and to prosper. The aim of all loyal Kansans is to make their leading school of learning the largest and best in the whole great west, and we, at least, have abundant faith in the ultimate consummation of this ideal. In order to keep pace with the growing importance of the school The Kansan next year, in conjunction with the classes in journalism, will issue a larger paper. The past year we have not been able to take care of the news on the hill, but next year with a five column triweekly the difficulty will be temporarily remedied. It is only a matter of time until an up-to-date daily will be an absolute necessity here and The Kansan staff will not hesitate to establish such a paper as soon as the plan can be made at all feasible. In the departure of Coach J. P. Hagerman the University loses one of the most popular and conscientious men ever connected with the school. In his three years of faithful service as track coach and as Y. M.C. A. secretary Hagerman has made more than his normal share of friends and less than his share of enemies. He has not always been successful because he worked under difficulties, but through all the time he has given the University and the student body every ounce of energy and enthusiasm that was in him. Universally honored and loved by the men at Kansas Hagerman goes to his larger field in the far west to take up his favored work. Hagerman will always, we hope, remember with feeling and with gratitude his years spent at Kansas. We know that as long as the members of the present student body look back over their University course in the years to come the fondest memories will cluster about Hagerman—a man who did all he could and gave all he had.
