Again there is something the matter with kannas. This time the scene of the eruption is Baker University, which is located in Baldwin, or round which the little town of Baldwin has grown up since the University went there in 1858. Baker, of course, is co-educational, more than half of its 500 students being young ladies. When every member of a recent graduating class was engaged to marry before commencement day. Dr. Mason, the president, began to understand why they were calling the institution "Cupid College" in that part of Kansas. It was no mere coincidence that the students had named the college annual "The orange Blossom." Then came a little informal party at which seven couples, all in the lower classes simultaneously made known their engagements.
Could co-education go farther than that? President, Mason was afraid that it might. He has therefore issued an order officially "canning" the aforesaid Cupid Person, and warning all interested parties that "spooning, queening, fussing, lallygagging, soft-soaping and mashing" will no longer be tolerated. --Boston Perald
