DR. LOWELL OF HARVARD
With the passing of Dr. A. Lawrence Lowell from the presidency of Harvard University, the field of education will lose one of its greatest figures of all time. Dr. Lowell has requested that he be relieved from duty as soon as a successor can take over the position.
Dr. Lowell is in his twenty-third year as head of one of America's greatest educational institutions, and he has contributed two noteworthy advancements to his field in this country. The first was the system of comprehensive examinations and tutors. The Harvard candidate for a degree today, and ever since Dr. Lowell installed the system, "concentrates" upon a major and is aided in correlating other courses to it through the work of tutors, who are regular members of the faculty. An examination covering every portion of the major thoroughly must be passed before the candidate is allowed to graduate.
The second achievement of Dr. Lowell is the successful Harvard House plan, in which students live together in spacious homes, grouped according to their classes. Each house is supervised by a "master," who always is a high-ranking faculty member. So well is this system liked by Harvard men that in spite of current economic conditions, the enrollment at Harvard has continued to grow each year. The House plan was completed through Edward Harkness" $11,000,000 gift.
Dr. Lowell's diversified interests are best shown by his action in appointing William J. Bingham as manager of athletics. Mr. Bingham somehow entertained the idea Dr. Lowell was not in favor of an extensive competitive athletic program for Harvard and declined on that ground. Dr. Lowell replied that he would back up Mr. Bingham at every move, and he has done so for the seven years Mr. Bingham has controlled Harvard athletics.
Harvard will lose the man who has definitely placed it upon a pinnacle in American education and the field of education will miss one of its foremost figures when Dr Lowell retires.
THROUGH DIFFERENT EYES
The University—a grand clearing house for dates. A place where the cream of Kansas pullitchute—both male and female—is gathered, eager for dates. A place where no especially heavy studying need be done, where every course is a pipe course, where there are professors to be sure, but they, doddling, half blind dodos, are not to be taken seriously. Kansas—a place where everyone belongs to a Greek or organization and nothing goes on drinking bouts and wild parties M. Tread—a paradise for petters
The University—a grand place to get an education. A place which attracts sincere, intelligent students, eager to learn and make their marks in the world. A place where one studies—hard, but not too hard—for there are other activities which no thinking student passes up. A place where the professors are human, are well-
trained, thinking students themselves, and are anxious to help those whom they teach. A place where one comes into contact with all sorts of persons and profits from the rubbing of elbows. A place where Greek organizations have their place, and where normal relations between the sexes exist. Mt. Oread—an excellent educator
IS GRAND OPERA GOING?
The Metropolitan Opera Company, last genuine stronghold of grand opera in the United States, opened another season recently with all the customary social brilliance, but to close observers it is apparent that extraordinary measures must be taken unless this highest form of musical entertainment is to vanish entirely from this country.
The problem, according to Deems Taylor, music editor of the New York American, writing in Vanity Fair for November, is to make grand opera popular with the average music lover. As it is now, one gathers from Mr. Taylor's discourse, the metropolitan productions achieve more attention throughout the country because of the Social Registerite' fashion parade on opening night than for the quality of the productions.
It has come to the point where "angels" who can support the Metropolitan on this basis can no longer be found. What the Metropolitan needs is hard-headed management by someone who would take action on a strictly business basis. The organization cannot survive if its operation is continued long present lines.
If the Metropolitan were to become popular with the mass, it is considered likely by critics that it would be the forerunner of other such companies throughout the country. One of the first reformations that must be effected is one that involves an alternative: the opera-goer either must be educated to enjoy songs in foreign languages or else the productions must be given in English.

—BUT WE MUST ECONOMISE
The journalism students' Holy of Holies has been unceremoniously invaded. With the event of the Sour Owl being pushed from its nest in the old Commons building, that bold and sagacious bird has finally come to roost in the Kansas already too crowded newsroom.
The long spacious typewriter tables, once so scientifically arranged about the room, are now all huddled together in a bunch in order to provide a place for the newcomer with his hugh desk, files, and bookcases.
"What, a new store room? queries the casual observer. "No, just another economy,' igns the weary reporter.
Well, I don't know Joe or the lad who offered to take him to the city, but I wondered why he intended to go fifty miles to get what he could obtain right here in town—to the advantage of all concerned.
It happened in this wise wife: I was leisurely sipping a cocoa, trying to make my nickle go as far as possible, when into my Scotch unconscious broke the ice with me. I'm gone! over to a get suit and I comin' back around ten."

I feel that I should preface what I feel coming on with those lines of old Rudyard. "...Then he warned by him that you should learn and Learn about buying from me."
Editor Daily Kansan:
The fact is, I had some little practical experience in merchandising before I took up theory, and it is my firm belief that values offered by Lawrence merchants equal those to be found anywhere.
I wonder how many co-eds know there are actually Kansas City women who come to Lawrence to shop and to have alterations made for the sole purpose of gaining that "collegiate effect" which they feel is so hard to get elsewhere. I wonder if the lad who offered Joe the ride knows there are

Vocation Guidance Week Will Start Tomorrow
I don't believe there is enough soft sentiment or talk of loyalty in the to make me do business with one man if I could do better with another. But if a merchant will give me value received, then just for good measure, help to provide things I enjoy—he gets my business.

Miss Margaret Fifield to Advise Co-eds on Occumations

Vocational Guidance week for the women of the University will be observed beginning tomorrow and continuing through Thursday. Margaret Fifield, former executive secretary of the University, was elected Geneva and at the present time a Girl Scout executive in Kansas City, Mo., has been secured by W.G.S.A., the sponsors of the project, as the speaker for the week. Mrs Fifield's speaking program while here will consist of a series of short lectures on the Central Administration auditorium on the subject, "Youth Looks at Europe—International Relations and Adven-
Several Hill publications are being supported largely by local business. I believe of equal importance are the jobs given to students, which in many cases are profitable to the employer, but in almost as many more proceed from a sincere desire to help some student over the hump. Consider the student loans offered to high school by the help of the student loan fund. Local business contributed freely to that fund and those contributions were gifts pure and simple.
Till leave the naming of the practice to someone else, but, to my mind, there is something a little bit wrong about accepting, even begging, for downtown support for, at least, a dozen activities from which we gain pleasure and profit, then patronizing out-of-town business. B. M.

YESTERDAY, TODAY OR NEXT WEEK
Look through the advertising columns and notice the number of established products you see listed there. As you read the name of each one, you form an instant mental picture. Its size, color, shape, flavor and quality are known factors, as staple as wheat. You know that whether you buy the article today or next week, it will be precisely what you want — the same uniformly good product that gave you satisfaction when last you used it.
When an advertiser puts his trade-mark on a product and his money behind it, he wraps his reputation into the package.
That is one of the tremendous advantages that advertising has brought you as a consumer. You know before you buy that the maker, whose business success is tied up with his product, will see that quality is maintained. You know that if any change is made in an advertised article it will be to improve it — to give you even greater value for your money.
