EVEN THE University student is not indifferent to the attractions of bright buttons and feathers. All the world loves a soldier though he may be but a toy soldier.
"The end of man is an action and not a thought," but it is better to think without acting than to act without thinking.
A NUMBER of students find no little entertainment during these dull times, in watching the dip-net fishermen ply their trade in the murky waters of the Kaw.
It was a real pleasure to hear a recent speaker in chapel deny the oft-heard statement that the University graduate soon forgets all that he learned while in school. What possible good can there be in making such a statement as this, especially to University students? It can not be expected to increase their interest in the studies which they are persuing, most of them with the expectation of gaining at least an appreciable amount of permanent knowledge. And even if the statement were true it would better as a matter of policy be less often repeated.
THE KANSAS CITY WORLD tells how Prof. Dyche will be able to know when he has reached the North pole, and how he is going to bring back absolute proof that he did reach it:
"I will take a bullet and suspend it from a string," says Professor Dyche. "This bullet will cast a shadow. In our latitude that bullet would in a day's time describe an ellipse. At the North pole the shadow would make a perfect circle. I will photograph the shadow throughout the day. Of course, it will be necessary to bring back only an are or part of a circle. As a day at the pole is six months long, it would be practically impossible to get a picture of the perfect circle. Any part of it, however, would be enough to convince a scientist that I had reached the North pole."
