Surely the contemplation of such facts can not fail to arouse in the most thoughtless spendthrift of time a sensation of awful responsibility. How much effect should they have then, upon a body of students who are laying the foundation stones of their characters.

I trust that all students who read this will repent of the many minutes they have wasted in loitering from class to class, especially when they consider this amount at compound interest, from the time the student entered until the present date. A word to the wise is sufficient. Kansan. Aguin, the literary monthlies of the college association fail to claim attention at the hands of the article columns of more powerful magazines. Why? you haye only to read the diction of one of our famous novelists, purporting the college writer to bo a mere typo and incapable of work, in any degree satisfactory, to understand in part the reason.

Without mentioning names, the absurdity of the gentleman's statement is at once proved. Look over the catalogues of our numerous institutions for the past one hundred years, and pick out here and there, man after man now famous in letters. The fact that some of their very best work was done, while undergraduates, an opinion often reiterated, uiakes valid the belief that our contemporary has erred. It is certainly unreasonable to immagine that genius is boru in years following the movements of the intellect. It must be coeval with thought and the college halls are supposedly the places by nature sacred to learning.

Personally we can point to a score of young fellows, but two or threeyears graduated, laboring excellently for the secular press. They were invited to positions on the strength of their college record, and have in no sense deceived the estimation of their superiors. Yet, withal, oue must be candid, and the honest mind admits the relevancy of the world criticism aimed at the pages of our college papers. We are too confirmed in ideas, crowding the realistic into a corner by the vain use of idealistic tendencies. For example, read the plethora of love strains, inconceivable plots, and garnished essays constantly allowed to appear.

The unhealthy effect of this manner of writing, exotic and Utopian, renders a large quota of college editors unfit for the immediate work of the world on graduating. They have become acclimated, thus losing time 'and money." "The Collegian" starts out with bright acter of the weed should be definitely settled by competent investiga tors, pro vided with all the aids and apparatus necessary." We learn that Professor Sayre has provided himself with the very best talent in veterinary science, gratui tously offered to aid in furthering hii work. It should be stated that Pro fessor Sayre gives his time and takes that time given for recuperation and study during the summer hollidays. "We present herewith an extract from tho proceedings embodying a resolution and the discussion thereon of the Pharmaceutical Association which met at Detroit: Mr. J.

L. Thompson, of Nashville, Tennessee, presented the following reso- ution at the American Pharmaceutical Association held at Detroit, Michigan, in Septemberlast: Whereas, The able and interesting paper presented to the association by rof. L. E. Sayre, of the Kansas State University, shows that he has made ex tensive investigation of the properties of the loco weed, and that still further investigation and experiment will prove of great value to the state of and the other states in which the weed grows; therefore be it Resolyed, That the American Phar- mace tical asrociation recommeud to the egialatures of the aforesaid states that they give Prof.

Sayre their hearty endorsement aad support for further in vestigation of loco poisoning. Mr. Thompson The reason I intro duced the resolution is because Prof. Sayre has carried on the investigation at his own expense, and I think that the indorsement of this association may act as an inducement for the legislatures to make appropriations in order that Prof. Sayre may carry out the work to a fur ther point for the public good.

Mr. Alexander There is no difficulty about sending forth a resolution of this kind, but whether it will be acted on by these states or not is another question. I think we ought at least to give Prof. Savre the benefit of our endorsement, and then if he can get some of his expenses refunded to which he has been subjected, it will be no more than justice to him. Mr.

Painter I Jiope the association will adopt it unanimously, There is a large amount of work to be done in this line, as shown by the report, and the work is incomplete. If the states would make a liberal appropriation they could make his work more complete than it would be otherwise. I hope it will be unanimously supported. "The Collegian," a new monthly mag azine, edited by Samuel Abbott, and published in Boston has been received this week. The field that the Collegian intends occupy is a new one in college journa lism! It will contain the best contribu tions from the "under graduates of all colleges," while many of our college papers, especially the monthlies possess a high degree of literary merit, yt no one of them reflects all that is best of the under-graduate work.

It will be a medium for the discussion of all the college questions which are being agitated in all of our universities. Believing that the literary work of under graduates is worthy of a more extended circle of readers. The Collegian is to be a connecting link if possible between the world and the college. Mr. Abbott says editorialy: "The term, "College Journalism," has held so peculiar a place in the world of literature, that the would be definer of its locus, feels himself to be in perplexity.

One cannot locate it antipodal to the secular press, certainly not above it, and yet not parallel. The figure, a wheel within a wheel, sounds strangely in this connection, for this wheel whirls seclu. ded, sensibly within the circle of the greater world press and yet barely touching it. The connection is broken. Causes for this may be found in various quar ters.

The estrangement existing between the city and country journal and the under-graduate periodical, based on the pa rental stand maintained by the former, is preeminently a ground for the isolation, It Passes lloth Houses and we are Fairly Satisfied The Moody BUI. Late last week the University appro priation bill was recommended and pussed by the legisrature. When the members had finished cutting it down the bill was as follows: "Salary of chancellor, salary of professor of natural history, dean of law department, salaries of fifteen professors, salary of dean of music department, $000; salary of eleven assistants, for salary of librarian and assistant, $800; salary of clerk and bookkeeper. salaries of superintendent engineer and janitors, for fuel, lights and firemen, $2,350, for engineer aud mechanics, elec trical engineering, $900; fortnight watchman $540, for care of grounds, $400; for labor in laboratories, $000; for chemicals. $700; for additions to cabinets in natural history, for maps and charts, $500; for advertising and postage, $000; or care of meterolgical apparatus, $720; for care of museum and collections of specimens, $500; for geological museum aud preparation of specimens, $500; for labor in taxidermy, $000; for water supply, $500; for janitor's supplies and material, $700; for office expenses, freight, etc, $500; for steam heating repairs, $300; for blackboards, $100; for additions to the library, for apparatus in the department of chemistry, $500; for apparatus in the department of pharmacy, $150; for apparatus in the department of physics and alectrical engineering, for microscopes and accessories in the department of natural history, $550; for cabinet cases in the department of natural history.

for water tank in Snow Hall, $175; for fire hose, reels, $1,000 for repairing foundation of main building, for tools and supplies in taxidermy, $300; for drain pipe, north side of boiler house, $60; for carpet for rostrum, University hall, $90; for matting, $230; for coal house, $500. The total allowed the institution for the coming year is which is $41, 000 less than was asked for in the bill. Among the items cut out of the bill as originally introduced were the following: Two instructors in art, for carpenter, $720; for steam coils in Snow Hall, steam pump and fixtures, $650; for coating steam pipes, $800; piano $600; models for department of art, $200. On the whole considering the general financial condition of the state we have very little reason to complain, although we might have desired a little different apportionment of the various appropria tions, xet, we ought to be sat isfied as the sum total ($84,870) is consid erable more than we have ever before re ceived. From the latest accounts we learn that the Moody Bill is progressing finely, and the only points hindering its immediate passage are a few minor amendments upon which the House and Senate fail to agree.

BE ON TIME. The value of the above motto to a stu- dent(or anybody else)cau hardly be over estimated. It should be worked on card board and hung up in every office, school room, and family sitting room in the land. Parents can hardly begin too early to impress its importance upon the child ish mind. The teaching should be at first by example, as soon as the child can talk, by precept.

A little later, he should be introduced to the old school reader (we all know it) which contains such aw ful warnings against the thiet of time A delay of five minutes in the arrival of a reprieve has been known to cause the death of an innocent man: even a tardi ness of one minute, causing the loss of train, may exercise a baleful influence over the whole future of the procrasti nator.

that the old association was 'kicked out of existence." What's wrong with Mrs. Rice? The frata haven't had a eood "write up" for quite a while, guesa it is time for another jamboree. Another fraternity jamboree has been suggested. Yes as soon as Adelaide Moore is billed for Lawrence again it will be in order. We don't like to be continually making corrections but we would simply like to suggest that our W.

C. make a change in that part of its directory which refers to the Oratorical Association. In the United States $12.42 per capit is sp3at each year for liquor and only $1 97 per capiti for educational purposes. In consideration of the fact that we have prohibition in Kansas why shouldn't ur legislature now appropriate a little more liberally toward the echool fund? Senator Evakts of New York, is engaged in the preparation of a sentence which he will deliver at the Commence ment of the Kansas State University in June. K.

C. Star. Wouldn't it be a good idea to haye the Senator pronounce sentence upon him icJio stole the book? At last Mr. Poe Las decided that his anti-English resolutions et al were mere ly jokes and says he is now in favor of the University appropriation bill (After it had passed.) A little severe chastisement at the hands of the State press generaily brings an ordi nary human being to his lenses. No one ever expected that tho "late unpleasantness" between our factious could be brought to a final issue without a woeful wail from those whose hopes were blasted.

And no one was disappointed or surprised (when the source was considered) at the ease with which accusations of broken promises, lack of honor and honesty were hurled at "the victors through the columns of our con-temp." Although we consider our purpose a laudable one one which would secure the best results to the greatest number of the students of K. S. U. yet we never for one moment expected all of our opponents to calmly submit without attempting to malign the character of the successful ones. Remove the feeling of chargin and defeat which brands such assertions as malicious and untrue and a meek, harmless spirit is all that remains.

We feel in duty bound to make the aboye explanation for the sake of S. U's fair name in college journalism. We would not have any of our exchanges infer that we had class of students here who would intentially assail the name of their fellow-students except un der these extraordinary circumstances when angered by defeat. But for this we would not have taken notice of re marks so easily interpreted by our stu dents. The complimentary notice given by the State Journal of Topeka, to Prof, Sayre's paper on loco weed, read at the last meeting of the American Pharmaceu tical Association at Detroit is worthy of attention.

It seems rather strauge that there should be the least difficulty in get ting money from the State through some of its boards, for the purpose of carrying out investigations such as those Professor Sayre has offered to superintend. But there does seem to be difficulty. The State would not be ungrateful perhaps if the Professor would conduct the ex periments upon herbiverous animals at his own expense. But it is a question it will even see the advantage in sharing the expemie with him. Prof.

Sayre has shown that the State of Colorado spent $200,000 on this weed, basing the expenditure on the hearsay evidence of non-scientific men. If our State would place but one thousand dollars at the disposal of Professor Sayre for the purpose of carrying out some physiological experiments in the field right in the heart of the Loco region, it would do more to the settlement of this mooted question of the poisonous propertie of this weed than all the $200,000 sp ent by the State of Cotorado. As to the practical result of the settlement or the question we would quote from one of the recent scientific contemporaries "The subject is one of vast and growing importance. Not only is the area over which the weed is indigenous a yery large one, embracing many thousand square miles but it is one towards which the population is flowing in mighty streams; and while the numbers of horses and cattle are not likely to increase in the same proportion as in the past, the value of the individual animals carried thither (or which would be carried thither were it not for the Loco) is vastly increasing each year to costly and improved stock. Hence it is of vital im prospects and we wish it success.

While it represents eastern college work more than western, yet it starts out with flat tering notices from the periodicles of many of our western and southern colleges, and unless the signs of the times fail, its pages will contain many a sterl ing article taken from our western mag azines. Our papers here can plead not guilty to ttie charge of publishing "the stuff" refered to above, but there is still room for improvement. The Times occupies the same posiition in the college as the daily does outside, and is essentially a news paper, and as such can not have much value to outsiders except as a criterion of college spirit and life. Its scope is local. The Review is the literary medium of the university and occupies a high position and we refer its colums to the Collegian, as good samples of the literary work done in the colleges of the west.
