PROFESSOR BRYANT
In the death of Professor Bryant, the University has lost a teacher who was most enthusiastic in the cause of true learning. He did his work in such an unassuming way that but few people in the University were cognizant of the great amount of research which he had accomplished. His relations with his students were always of the pleasantest and those who came into contact with him in the class room became imbued with their instructor's zeal to appreciate literature to the full.
Professor Bryant faced the attack of the disease which assailed him in a way that showed him to be as courageous as he was modest. He did not become disheartened, and even the realization that he was desperately ill did not cause his interest in the world's happenings to grow less. The things of the intellect and the spirit remained uppermost in his mind on the approach of death, as they had been in life.
THE INSIDIOUS "DATE."
It appears that the Women's Student Government association is having up-hill work in enforcing the rule prohibiting mid-week dates. It is hard to convince many of the young women of the University that there are good reasons for the rule. The chief purpose of the rule's existence is that it may promote scholarship. But the standing of young women in this respect is already as high or higher than that of the men and they doubtless figure that if the men can afford to ask for dates they can afford to grant them, rules or no rules. Perhaps the Men's Student Council should come to the aid of the Women's association, with an appeal to the women to refuse all offers of mid-week dates,—not for their own sakes, but for the welfare of the men, whom the prospect of moonlight walks, bright eyes and airy persiflage lures from the work they came to the University to do.
Nebraska rooters are preparing to invade Lawrence when their football team comes down to play the Jayhawkers. It is up to the Kansas boys to provide for the visitors entertainment of the same sort that has been furnished them on the grounds at Lineoln for the past two years.
SUDLER IN CHAPEL.
Spoke on the Health of University Students.
In speaking in chapel Tuesday morning on the subject of the health of students, Dr. M. T. Sudler sketched the progress in overcoming contagious diseases that has been made in the world in recent years. "Even tuberculosis, the greatest scourge of modern times, could be practically eliminated if we could enforce our laws concerning it," said Dr. Sudler.
Because of the special significance to University students, Dr. Sudler gave most attention to typhoid fever. The disease germ gets into its victim by being swallowed in unooked food chiefly water and milk, he said. "The Lawrence city water has been analyzed and is safe; the well water is under suspicion and should be boiled, if used," said Dr. Sudler. He also explained that the typhoid bacilli might be spread through milk if the cans had been washed in water containing the poison germs.
Dr. Sudler closed his talk by explaining the value of the University Hospital Association and its need of support by the students.
It's Cold at McCook
Since the cold wave struck Lawrence the football men have been protesting vigorously against the training quarters on McCook field. No means of heat has yet been provided for and the temperature in the dressing room is rather low. The water for the shower baths is also fresh from the water pipes and has passed through no tempering medium, so that the evening bath is accompanied by whistling, singing, jumping the hurdles and other heat-producing effects.

A Criticism.
Editor of The Kansan.
Although this University is primarily for the use and education of citizens of the state, yet it permits its courses to be opened to those outside its boundaries, and in doing so, offers these people the same privileges and facilities as its own people enjoy—with the payment of an additional fee. At the present time there are a number of the latter students in the University, and a number of these were forced to enter college late. Among this class of pupils considerable dissatisfaction is expressed with the courses which they are required to take, a large number of them being forced to carry work which is absolutely not needed in their chosen life work.
In many cases, students registering a week or two late found that certain courses that they had counted upon taking had been declared "full," and were thus refused them. In one case a student coming from Western Colorado, intending to eventually study Journalism, was told that he could not take English courses which were marked as required in the catalog. He found that economics and history were too full and was told that he would have to take up German—a study that he cared nothing about. He was new to it, and started two weeks late, because of necessity, and as a result he bids fair to fail the course or else study so hard on German that the subjects for which he came so far, will suffer.
Notwithstanding that he is not a resident of Kansas he has paid his extra matriculation and incidental fees, and is so entitled, it seems, to the privileges of a state student. His course is mapped out for him, and he is not allowed to take anything he wants. The result is "watch me come to this grafting school next year," a sentiment not very complimentary to K. U., and certainly not one which will be likely to bring new students from Colorado, who are friends of this man.
While no complaint regarding courses being forced upon them has been heard from those registering on time, yet a few resident students and very many non-resident students, do have a lot to say about the closed courses. If the University authorities are going to close certain of the popular courses to those who register late, there would seem to be no reason for permitting them to enter late. And in the cited case, a large number of students, this year have been forced to put off the study of the course which they had intended to make their most important study, and it is not very pleasing to pay $30 in order to study courses which one does not need, and in many cases to be forced to take a laboratory course in place of the desired one.
