Greeting. SCHOOLMATES, Alumni, and Friends of Kansas University: The Class of 1903 is gone; our connection with our Alma Mater will soon be severed, but in passing we hope to leave the ' 03 JAYHAWKEB as our portrait in the Kansas University Hall of Fame. We pass no judgment on the book, hence make no apologies for its existence. Yours is the task of judging and apologizing. Should anyone happen on a good apology, please communicate it to the editors at once, if you can find their address. We will perhaps not be in town for the next few days. We prefer the railroad to the rail-ride, and besides, under- stand that black is not to be the prevailing thing in summer costumes. Then, too, we withdraw out of consideration for our Alma Mater; for there are but few good marksmen among the students and Faculty, and the window-glass, Freshmen, and other bric-a-brac might be costly to replace. But we shall return, and will be glad to settle any little disputes by a game of ping-pong or tug-of-v ar contest. The chief complaint arises from those who have not had the distinc- tion of dishonorable mention in the JAYHAWKER. But, dear friends, list to the voice of reason. Your roast would have necessarily curtailed the ads the life blood, as it were, of this voluminous volume, and the non-voluminous manager. That is one of the drawbacks to an annual, the necessity of ads to keep itself and the manager on their feet. So we would advise future classes to profit by our experience and elect one of their multimillionaires as manager. Never elect a poor boy whose school- life you know has been one continuous struggle with poverty. There have been faint attempts at jokes made in the ' 03 JAYHAWKEB. We thought of giving fifty cash prizes to the first fifty who proved the presence of the same herein, but the management did not consider it a paying proposition, and wanted to substitute a coupon voting contest for the handsomest Senior. However, we thwarted that plan by threaten- ing to compromise the question with Seyster. So it was agreed to get out an appendix to the book within the next month, clearly explaining all attempts at the ludicrous. Watch for advertisement of same. And thus we greet you all, and pray your leniency; you who have been Seniors appreciate our position; you who shall be some time restrain your feelings for the present. We leave but two thoughts with you don ' t waste your time looking for us. and elect a rich manager of your JAYHAWKEK.
