TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER
The address of President Taft last Sunday called together the most representative gathering of American citizens that Lawrence has ever seen. On the platform was the highest executive of this nation and those who have distinguished themselves in the political, judicial, educational and military life of the United States. The address of the President was an interesting exposition of the growth and extent of the Y. M. C. A. and his digression from a political address was an evident pleasure to him. President Taft radiates geniality and this seemed to be infused into the feelings of the large audience.
--sion of the great mass of American public.
The last issue of The Umpire, the official publication of the University of Oklahoma, contains this editorial relative to a class fight between the Sophomores and the Freshmen:
"The class scrap was very interesting and while there were a few things that would have been better left undone, we believe on the whole a benefit was derived from the fight. The Freshmen are better acquainted than they would have been without it and the Sophomores feel better than they ever did in their lives. The upper classmen had quite a little entertainment and the public has something to talk about."
There is no doubt that the Freshmen are much better acquainted now than they were before the encounter took place. There is nothing so beautiful as the Platonic friendship that is engendered in these scraps between students who ought to know better. Little marks of affection such as black eyes, bloody noses, and perhaps broken limbs, ought to be, and probably are, cherished by every student who attends a college where undergraduates are allowed to engage in a sport that harks back to the antedeluvian period. Freshmen at the University of Oklahoma must certainly feel at home after such effusive greetings.
When a president of the United States will step aside and denounce the muckraking of such men as Millionaire Crane of Chicago, a reflection of the prevalent opinion of colleges held by the American people is given. The statements by the gentleman from Chicago have raised a storm of protest. From the smallest academies in the land to our largest universities, have come resentment of his statements. People believe in colleges or they could not exist. The declaration of President Taft is the expression of the great mass of American public.

But maybe after all this is all Mr. Crane wanted.
At the meeting of the Senior class yesterday it was decided to ballot on the question of whether or not the manager of the Annual shall receive honor or money for his work. It was also proposed to allow the manager a salary of $100 for his year's work. This proposition appears to be the most feasible of any yet advanced. It is not questioned that the old system of allowing the manager to take all he makes is an injustice either to him or to the class. It is not quite an adequate return to make to a capable manager to pay him in honor only. The editor generally gets that. It then appears that placing the position on a small salary basis makes it both remunerative and honorary. To successfully manage an Annual requires a vast expenditure of time, patience and energy. It is only right that in return for this the manager be given some remuneration.
