COMMENCEMENT AT K. U.
A General Invitation to Alumni and
Others to Attend June 5.

Lawrence, Kan, May 22.-This year
the university discontinues a practice Of
long standing by not sending out indi-
vidual invitations to the commence
| exercises. In a word. the abandonment
of the individual invitation has been
suggested, not by the desire on the part
of the university to restrict its hospi-
tality on commencement day within
closer limits, but rather by the desire to
enlarge the range of that hospitality in
the utmost measure possible. The am
pie size of the auditorium in Robinson
gymnasium renders it possible to hope
that this year room may be found for
all citizens of the state, as well as for
all other friends of the university, whose
interest in the institution MAJ yurge them
to attend commencement, and whose
situation make attendance possible IL
is with pleasure, therefore, that the
University of Kansas extends a general
invitation to its friends both alumni
and others, to be present at the COM
mencement exercises that will be held
in the new Robinson gymnasium We'd

Is Hypocrisy Becoming More
Prevalent?

Several years ago, when the book
entitled, If Christ Should Come
TO Chicago, first appeared, its con-
tents stirred to the depths, the
hearts of all who read it. AS we
recall the many sinful practices
which would be revealed to Christ,
as chronicled in the above-named
book. it causes us to wonder
as to what punishment He would
mete out to the offenders This
thought is but fostered by another
in the formation of the question,
If Christ should come on earth
and spend several days among
some church people, what would
His verdict be as to their be-
havior?
Knowing from teachings since in
