★ Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor.
I am seldom that I question the authenticity of any reports in the Kansan. However, in view of the heated discussion of our Christmas vacation, I have found it necessary to doubt the statement that Annapolis Naval Cadets have been granted a fifteen day leave at Christmas time.
My brother is now in the Naval Academy at Annapolis and he recently reiterated a statement that they will have only a three-day Christmas leave. He would very much like to come back to Kansas and spend the holiday at home, but the short time will not permit it. The intensified study permits little time for a vacation there.
I would gladly welcome a longer Christmas vacation also, but in presenting the arguments for it, I think the real facts should be kept straight. A FRESHMAN ENGINEER
Editor's Note: On Nov. 19 the Kansan sent a telegram to the office of the commandant of the Annapolis academy which read as follows: "Please advise collect concerning length of Academy Christmas vacation." That same day an answering telegram was received reading: "Your telegram answer fifteen days." The telegram was signed by Felix Johnson, executive secretary to the commandant.

Hertzler Takes Verbal Blast At Medic Profs
"Medicine is an art rather than a science," Dr. Arthur E. Hertzler, world-famous as the "horse and buggy" doctor of Halstead, Kans., told a group of medical students and faculty members at a dinner last night in the Kansas room of the Union building.
The dinner was given by the sophomore class of the School of Medicine. Guests included the freshman class of the School of Medicine and the Lawrence faculty members.
Dr. Hertzler, who was chief speaker of the evening, took verbal blasts at the universities for placing andue emphasis upon the science rather than the art of medicine.
"The science of medicine never touches the vast majority of medical practitioners," he stated. "What medicine needs is not science but character."
The surgeon, now in his forty ninth year of practice in the medical profession, compared university teachers to preachers. "Both are trying to teach something for which there is no market and about which they know nothing," he declared.
Dr. Hertzler told the students that not until they can get away from their last professor will they be able to "find out whether they have any brains or not."
Dr. H. R. Wahl, dean of the School of Medicine, spoke briefly to the medics concerning present plans of the school in regard to students. He said that, according to information received from Washington, members of the army reserve corps on inactive duty, including medical students in the army medical reserve, cannot wear uniforms.

The bearded Beta actives evidently retrieved the blades and administered necessary punishment.
At the first of this week, the Beta freshmen stole all the actives' razors. When the pledges refused to return them, the actives informed them that they would eat out of the house until the razors were returned.
But—the freshmen don't talk about that.

Ruth Krehbiel, Corbin, was the victim of some student's chance snowball. Someone threw a snowball into a group of sailors in front of Green hall yesterday. Ruth, unfortunately, happened to be passing.
At this point Ruth thinks that if the navy can't win the war with bullets, they'd stand a mighty good chance with snowballs.
We hear Don Cousins, sax man in Bachman's band, weaves a wondrous tale about the pulchritudinous Chi O (could she be me?) who, he avows, is out to hook him. Somebody should let us in on these things.

Forums To Discuss Wartime Education
Union Building — Men's Lounge
In the final broadcast of the Forums board tonight, four students will discuss the question, "Should higher education continue during wartime?" John Triplett, College sophomore, John Waggoner, College senior, Dean Ostrum, College junior, and Arthur Nelson, College senior, will present the student discussion. Merrill Peterson will act as chairman for the round-table conference.
"An effort will be made to discuss the questions as should liberal arts education continue in wartime, and how the American higher educational system should co-ordinate with the war effort. Also, we shall attempt to decide what changes are due in higher education during war and the peace to follow," Peterson said last night.
A committee to make plans for the student bull sessions during the second semester was appointed Tuesday at a luncheon meeting by the Forums panel, Peterson also said. The discussions will place primary emphasis on post war problems.
Appointed to serve on the committee were: Arthur Nelson, College senior, John Waggoner, College senior, and Mary Cheney, College junior.

Sherwood Discusses Medical Discoveries
"We have many more measures for combating disease in this war than in the last war," is the opinion of Dr. N. P. Sherwood, head of the bacteriology department, who spoke to the Bacteriology Club last night following a chill supper.
Dr. Sherwool supported his statement by naming three comparatively recent medical discoveries. Sulpha drugs were first used to a great extent at Pearl Harbor. Blood transfusions were known before the first World War but were not perfected in time for extensive service. The T.A.B. vaccines, typhoid, para A typhoid, and para B typhoid, are other recent discoveries."
