Kansan discontinued the tobacco advertising it was then carry- dent self-government, and recently persuaded the Athletic Association to build tennis courts.

St HOW THEY DO IT Methods and Organization of Student Papers in Other Universities WEBSTER, COLLEGE EDITOR Daniel Wielded Tripod on the Dartmouth Gazette in 1800 A history of the development of college journalism will make interesting reading, if somebody ever finds himself inspired to write the story of it. Here are some facts to prove it: The first college paper in. America was started by Daniel Webster at Dartmouth in 180Q.

It was called the Gazette. College dailies began to come into existence about twenty years ago. Two of the best examples of the college daily are" the Harvard Crimson and the Yale News. Both of these publications have great influence, and positions on their staffs are among the most coveted honors that Yale and Harvard have to offer. Many Yale men consider the editorship of the Yale News the biggest prize that a Yale man can win in the whole list of undergraduate The Crimson has the reputation of being rather conservative.

The Yale News is very aggressive in pushing reforms. The Crimson puts out eight pages; the News, six. Both handle some general news The Cornell Sun does not confine itself to campus news, but prints much general news, received through the Associated Press. The Syracuse Daily Orange makes a special effort to gain the friendship and co-operation of the faculty. Another large eastern paper is the Columbia Spectator which puts out eight pages.

The Spectator gives much space to the discussion, pro and con, of college problems. The editorials are simple, straightforward, and usually effective. Among the college dailies of the middle west are the Michigan Daily, the Daily Illini, the Purdue Exponent, -the Wisconsin Cardinal, the. University Missourian and the Indiana Student. All these are live, aggressive papers, and are all of them excep-tionaly fearless and outspoken.

In the Wisconsin Cardinal its editorials are double-column. The Missourian editorials are unique in that include the general issues of the day. Few college papers attempt this, It handles general" news also. I The Daily Palo Alto, from Leland Stanford, presents news stories tnai are unusually well written. FEATURES ABOUT THE CONTEMPORARIES The Yale News Editors are chosen by keeping count of the space written by each contestant who has reached the neighborhood of 120,000 words.

Editors do not receive salaries, but they share in the profits of the paper. The Harvard Crimson Makes about $5,000 a year. The Cornell Sun Incorporated under the laws of New York. Controlled by a board of ten. Election to this board is on merit.

Issued in the morning. The Columbia Spectator The editors are selected by the elimination system. They receive no pay. The Spectator last year conducted a fight for a more open poucy on me pari, uj. the Columbia Athletic Association, and anally induced the Association to call the first mass meeting in its history- The Spectator has also been urging the fraternities to adopt uniform rushing rules.

The Michigan Daily Students are elected, to the staff on the basis of work done. The staff chooses three men who are eligible for the editorship, and one of these three is elected by the board in control of student publications. The editor and manager of the paper each receive about $900 a year. The three highest men on the editorial and news staffs receive a salary of $100 each. The Daily has been boosting the student union campaigns, and has been largely instrumental in making the idea a success.

The Wisconsin Cardinal Staff po-" sitions are given on merit which is determined on a competitive basis. The editor and manager are salaried. The Cardinal helned in the fight for stu AS WRITERS OF ADVERTISING Women ought to be among the most successful writers of advertisements, in the opinion of Elmer F. Woodman, of the Woodman Advertising Service. He told students of journalism at the University of Washington whom he addressed the other day, that women are the ultimate buyers, directing about 90 per cent, of the expenditures made for the home.

He declared that members of their sex ought best to know how to appeal to those' buyers. Many women, he said, are already employed by advertising agencies. Send the Daily Kansan home. .9. "gsr KEMP ITS 'W 'AHO Uany Quamh Witt Btrtoa Braky Over tig'i lOTCMONCAPI.

KELLOGG WRITES IN APPRECIATION OF AID Vernon Kellogg who recently visited the University in the interests of the Belgian relief fund writes the following letter regarding the work here: "I am glad that you have your hospital work under way. Every sine-le bandaee that you send really helps. I have seen hospitals that were short of band-aces and snonsres. This is the time when everybody in the world needs to help. Professor Kelloe-s- is now at Leland Stanford University and reports that the work there is pro gressing nicely.

Since Harvard re-opened in September $400,000 in gifts has been received by the university, the largest single donation being $125,000 from James J. Hill, the western railroad man. This sum with an equivalent gift from J. P. Morgan, Howard Elliot and others, will be used to estab lish a Hill Chair in Transportation in the Harvard Business School.

A business course will be offered beginning July 1, 1916 at the Univer sity of Columbia. The length of the course will be three years and will lead to an appropriate degree, which is, as yet, undecided. :4 I I i "t- i i' I -tfR daily VUU 1 '-Ob.

The Kansan nas since had numerous requests from advertising agencies, asking if tobacco advertising would be accepted. Invariably the reply has been "no," although at times the bank balance has been a trifle slim. Even though this policy has been maintained, thus cutting off a lucrative income, the Kansan has continued to advance rather than remain stationary or lag behind. The old Kansan of a decade back is rather a pitiable affair when compared to the twenty-four columns of news and editorials now used each day. The abolition of all intercollegiate sports at Wisconsin may be brought before the next meeting of the faculty, in connection with the discussion of intercollegiate baseball.

The same measure was recently voted on by the Minnesota senate and beaten by a large majority. The editors of Texas will meet under the auspices of the school of journalism of the University during the week of March 20-25. Texas has a total of about 900 publications, which is the largest number of newspapers of any state, with the possible exception of New York. nysx I I -(iTrMw i i. i i tSr mm ar wmXw' I rain rwiiw nm ffC Ride ViairtoMThm 7 Ml.

The recall requiring a two-thirds vote, can be used to oust the editor if he proves unsatisfactory. Most college papers have a partial censorship of their advertising.

The Columbia Spectator is the only college paper which publishes liquor advertisements. Few American students have heard of the leading universities of Canada. Here they are: McGill, Toronto, Queen's, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Acadia. They rank with many of the strongest schools in our country. Guelph, the agricultural college of the University of Toronto divides honors with Ames in the stock judging contest held yearly at Chicago.

The rivalry between these two schools for victory in this competition is as intense as that in football between Missouri and Kansas.
