BASEBALL MAY HAVE TO BE THE GOAT
COLLEGE baseball will this year, it seems, be made the goat on whose head the Sins of Sport will be heaped. Last year it was football, and next year—but why borrow trouble when there is plenty of it already at hand?
when there is plenty of it already at hand?
That college baseball is doomed to go has been vaguely hinted at for some time. Baseball had a bad half-hour in the discussion of the Missouri Valley Conference at Des Moines Friday. The trouble is the old, old one of professionalism. The good men whose labors have eliminated professional football and helped every other college sport have, it seems, grown weary of well doing. In other words they have come to the conclusion that they are trying to do something in the case of baseball that can't be done.
This is the time for the students to come forward and do what they can. The difficulties of keeping baseball clean are greater than the problems of any other college sport. The athletic board has called for help from the students to determine the amateur standing of men who apply for places on the team. Experience has shown that professionals can hide that fact from the athletic board. The question is, can they have equal success if the students become interested in the matter? The student who has knowledge of the professionalism of any player and helps to conceal that fact is only heaping another sin upon the poor goat and hastening the hour when he shall be turned out into the wilderness.
Every profession has its wrongs and abuses and the medical profession is no exception. Dean Sudler's interview on another page of The Kansan outlines the work the University School of Medicine will have to do in putting the profession on a better plane in Kansas and the whole Missouri Valley. The report of the Carnegie Foundation on the baneful influence which cheap medical schools have had in turning out quacks and ignorant practitioners is well worth the study of the state of Kansas, now that the question of organizing a School of Medicine on the best modern lines is up for settlement.
Now that the State Agricultural School has instituted correspondence courses, it is pointed out that it is now possible for the farmers of Kansas to stay at home to do their farming.
ON VACATION.
The University of Colorado has a prose bard who bids fair one day to outrival Walt Mason. On his return from the Christmas vacation he contributed the following on vacation and studies to "Silver and Gold," the University weekly:
Vacations are so blooming short it almost makes me rip and snort; I tear my hair in grief and woe, so swiftly do the good times go. It seems we hardly get away and start to gambol, frisk, and play before a message says with torsity, "Time's up. Come back,—University." And back we come to the same old room, where the fight for wisdom we resume with blood-shot eyes and gasping breath. Dear me! We study ourselves to death! Let not a salt tear dim your eye for that's a glorious way to die. What epitaph could be more sweet than "Death in a recitation seat?" Well, now the holidays are over we find ourselves once
more in clover. From frivolous ways our thoughts refracted, will find themselves no more distracted. Fine dope! From now on we can work, for naught is left to make us shirk! Come, eroon a dull, methodic tune, for we'll study like blazes from now till June; with furrowed brows, near-sighted eyes, we'll proudly win the one great prize; our shoulders bowed from heavy books, we'll lose both health and youthful looks; our happiness we'll sacrifice to enter Wisdom's Paradise! There'll be no more gaiety in the world, for silly joys our flags are furled; henceforth we'll all be sharp-nosed grinds and ultimately lose our minds. Christmas is a beastly bore—let's not have it any more—we could have gotten along without it if no one had ever told about it. Though Sunday be a day of rest, 'twould just suit us for a real hard test. But while we'd eat them up o' Sundays, let's kill the profs who give quizzes Mondays. Ah! is that not a noble thought, in most exquisite meter wrought? Believe me, kid, the greatest blessin' that comes in life is to learn your lesson.
