The Proper Thing in Kansas.

From the Garnet Review.
This question is sent to the Review for
an answer: when one attends a recep-
ton and is introduced to the hostess and
she says, I'm pleased to make your ac-
uuaintance, what answer should be
given?" Simply say: THANK you. The
pleasure is mine" or any other sensible
commonplace reply that you think of.

Careers of First Scholars.
ON the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
The college man who ranks highest in
his class has often been a subject OF
dubious speculation. He has been dig,
grind" or even greasy grind" He
was a precocious child, and will suffer
an early dulling of his mental powers.
Or he has undermined his health by too
much study, ana will succumb to the
first epidemic that comes his way. At
any rate, his subsequent career will not
be brilliant He will not fulfill the eXpec-
tations of his friends. Most college men
can recall cases of classmates who at
tanned high rank, and after graduation
drifted into obscurity. Is this the rule
with first scholars?
The Harvard Graduates Magazine for
December says it is not the rule. 1t re-
prints and augments the list I'm Kings
Harvard Register" of 113 first scholars
in Harvard's classes during the century
from 1777 to 1888 Only nineteen became
parsons. and of these sixteen were grad
uated before 1S4s. Very nearly half of
them. fifty-five. We're lawyers. of whom
five became United States senator's, ten
were representatives, three memiN'rs OF
Presidents cabinets, two ministers to
Great Britain and three more ministers to
other countries. One first scholar became
justice of the United States Supreme
Court, and six were judges OF United
states courts and OF state supreme courts
Then there were two presidents of Har-
ward and one acting president, many who
became educators of high rank, and a
large number of lawyers whose work has
associated their names with great indus
trial affairs. Few were bookworms or in
vaIidS.
They did not die at thirty. The average
age of Harvard's first scholars at death
has been over fifty-eight and a half
years. The American tables of mortality
show an expectation of life" at twenty
two, the age of college graduation, to be
1855 years. representing a longevity of
81. So years. But that is the present aver
age, not the average of a century or even
of fifty years ago. The twenty-five first
scholars of this list who are now living
average $40 years each, and will die
at the normal age, or older.
