SUMMER SESSION KANSAN
COMMENT
TODAY
It is a gloomy moment in history. Not for many years—not in the lifetime of most men who read this—has there been so much grave and deep apprehension; never has the future seemed so incalculable as at this time.
in our own country there is universal commercial prostration and panic, and thousands of our poorest fellow citizens are turned out without employment, and without the prospect of it.
In France he political caldron seethes and bubbles with uncertainty; Russia hangs as usual, like a cloud, dark and silent upon the horizon of Europe; while all the energies, resources and influences of the British Empire are sorely tried, and yet to be tried more sorely, in coping with the disturbed relations in China.
Of all our troubles (in the U.S.A.) no man can see the end. They are, fortunately, as yet mainly commercial; and if we are only to lose money, and by painful poverty to be taught wisdom—the wisdom of honor, of faith, or sympathy and of charity—no man need seriously to despair.
It Is a solemn moment, and no man can feel an indifference—which happily, no man pretends to feel—in the issue of events.
And yet the very haste to be rich, the occasion of this widespread calamity, has also tended to destroy the moral forces with which we are to resist and subdue the calamity.

IF YOU WOULD BE EDUCATED—
All too often the ultimate achievement of a "job" influences a student to the extent that he regards any course of study not related to his particular interest as a waste of time.
He treads the straight road through knowledge, never pausing to investigate those delightful bypaths that wander from the main highway. Looking neither to the right nor to the left he steadily mounts upward his goal. At the conclusion of his efforts he may pause for a reckoning. There is nothing for the account but a table of weary monotony, unrelied by any charming sidelights or delightful incidents.
Fortunately, however, there is the type of student who realizes the value of a broad vista, an outlook that takes in many fields, the heights above, the verdant medium that is the bulk of flourishing life. He has a keen appreciation of the fact that he is not a world unto himself but an individual among individuals and, by his nature, unable to exist by himself. He wants to know and understand his fellow creature so that he may be able to adjust himself to his estate.
Weather
His aim is an education, an interested inquiry into many subjects to the depth required for an intelligent understanding. He thus acquires a tolerance born of a sympathetic interpretation of human motives and foibles. He can talk coherently on a variety of items. He has attained membership in the society of man.
The four hour drought will be broken by an unexpected shower.
