The Junior Prom of 1910 was undoubtedly the greatest Prom that as ever been given at the University of Kansas. With a single exception every feature in the esening's entertainment was worked out with great care, giving evidence that the experience of previous junior classes had been duly considered with a view to eliminating everything that might detract from the pleasure of the entertainment. The one evidence of aa flaw in the program for the evening was the delay which preceded the performance of the farce. The hitch was caused by the fact that some of the actors in the farce also stood in the receiving line and remained there long after it was time for the curtain to go up.
The problem is one easily solved. Next year the junior class can easily avoid a similar experience by parceling out the various tasks of the evening among a somewhat larger number of workers, for there is not likely to be a dearth of suitable material.
The girls at the State Normal school have taken up the fad of writing limericks, and Walt Mason warns them that "a limerick has got to be either good or rotten. There is no middle ground."
Ambassador Bryee delighted the University at Lawrence, as he did Grinnell College in Iowa on this trip and the Knife and Fork club at Kansas City. It used to be that America picked her wisest men to send to London and England's opinion of this country and popular friendliness to this country were greatly promoted by such men as Adams and Hawthorne, Lowell and Phelps and Bayard and Choate. With Ambassador Bryee England is paying us back. It may be hoped that
It may be a little hurtful to University pride not to have won a single debate this season, but it is particularly true of debating that some profit remains ever when decisions are lost.

Professor Edna R. Day of the department of household economies of the University of Missouri wants to all a course of instruction in millinery to her department. That wold ule a fine thing for the young women of Missouri who work their way through school. After taking the course they could make and sell a few "dreams" and "confections" and pay all the expenses of an education.
It now rests with the track athletes to prevent Missouri from adding another Kansas "cleanup" to her record this year.

Two hundred and fifty freshmen and sophomores of Northwestern University Friday night selected the banquet hall of the women's club in the Y. M. C. A. building at Evanston as the field for one of the most furious class battles that have ever taken place at the institution. After ten minutes of fighting a squad of police appeared on the scene and ended the battle. "The floor," says a news report, "was covered with the remnants of wrecked evening clothes, crushed flowers, muddied linen, broken furniture, shattered dishes, soups, entrees, and ices and a smear or two of human gore."

THE COLLEGE MAN.
A Few Views of a College
Man.
Bruce Bliven in writing in "The Fra" has relieved himself of a number of grudges he seems to have against institutions of higher education. In the "spasm" he says: "Hold onto the arms of your William Morris while I handle a little Warm Dope in to your ear from our own private thought-cannery—all anent the American college of today.
"The American college at the present time is an institution on the blink. The average boy comes to college with a copy of "Three Weeks" and a Beatty cigarette roller, and leaves at the end of four years—or as much more as his immediate progenitor will stand for—with nothing much more than the ability to tell a Gibson from a Martini in the dark, and in a state of health that is going to need a doctor's care the rest of his life.
"The college boy of today never takes off his coat except to go out and play ball in the road in front of his frat house, or when he sits in at an all-night poker game. Of course, there are exceptions everywhere, and in most any college you will find a few pale and high-souled youths with shiny pants, who sometimes write to Mother as well as to Dad; but the percentage is not high enough so that the college library needs three sets of Ruskin, or has to chain the volume of Browning to the reading table."
