Considering that the smoker was gotten up on such extremely short notice, the stunts were all good and their hearty reception showed how well they were appreciated.
The evening's entertainment demonstrated one thing and that is that a stag smoker is a much more enjoyable function at which to honor our team than is a formal banquet with all its accompaniments. The football team enjoyed the evening, the four hundred students enjoyed the evening, the coaches enjoyed the evening and the faculty members could find no fault.
The great success of a smoker such as was held last night probably establishes a custom will live for years to come.
KANSAS FRATERNTIY SORIORITY EMBLEMS IN LEATHER
Entered as second-class mail matter September 17, 1910, at the postoffice at Lawrence, Kansas, under the act of March 3, 1879.
The Football Smoker last evening was the best thing that has taken place at the University in years. There was never a finer display of spirit and never was exhibited a greater degree of cordiality and friendship among all the men of the school. The entire evening abounded in the good fellowship that really exists in this school but is too seldom shown.

WHY WAS IT?
The one disappointing feature of the smoker last evening and for which there appears to be no valid excuse, was the failure of the Athletic Board to report on those men who received the "K." For over a week the Board has known that the smoker was to be held and that the giving of the "K's" was to be the culminating feature of the evening. Just why this Board has failed to meet is not known but they added the one disappointment to an otherwise successful evening.
REPORT ON EFFICIENCY
The report of the Kansas Commission on Higher Education carries with it the greatest educational message that has been given out in this state in years Efficiency is the one great subject discussed and if the plans of the Commission are carried out the state of Kansas will have the closest cooperation among our state schools. A closer correlation of our state institutions is
shown to be in line with the general idea of efficiency.
One item that is of special importance is the broadening of the work of the extension department and the establishing of twenty additional extension centers.
Another recommendation that has an important bearing on the University calls for the establishing of a school of business administration. Harvard and Wisconsin are the only schools in the United States that support such a department and their practicability has been clearly demonstrated.
The other suggestions of the Commission will all appeal to the economy of the tax payer. In the entire report there is one main idea, and that is to give to every man who pays taxes the greatest possible return on his expenditure.
