That is the phrase that school children are taught about the man who was born two hundred years ago and who became the first president of the United States of America. It has become the practice and diversion of Americans lately, especially as plans for the Washington bicentennial celebration have been discussed, to expose all of the faults of the mun. A popular magazine says that George Washington would not have lived in the America of today for two weeks without being jailed. Diverse sources bring out for popular delectation statements that he had false teeth too large for him which popped out when he laughed, that he married a woman out of sheer perversity after he had been jilted by another, and that he was very food of emptying the full wine bottle. Accounts of his more frivolous nature contain the information that he always attached himself to the most beautiful women at a ball to the great chagrin of their escort, tradition has it that he threw a silver dollar across the Potomac and was an advocate of deforestation in his youth, and to cap off everything, he even went as far as to wear a powdered wig. Imagine! Probably it will not be amiss to leave his portrait upon the postage stamps of the United States of America for a while, anyway. Nevertheless, he was a man who was able to hold an army of hungry men together throughout a cold winter and win a victory of independence for his country with them, he was a gentleman who represented the best in culture and refinement in the America of his time, he was a scholar who was able to understand and to a necessary extent reconcile the various opinions of those gathered to set the Constitution in operation, and he was a successful merchant. Of course, we feel that the semester has scarcely begun and few, if any of us, have really settled down to concentrated study. There are, it would seem, many weeks in which we should be able to fool along studying now and then and playing most of the while. ALMOST MIDSEMESTERS! Yet, it is only thirty-five days until Easter vacation. And Easter vacation precedes midsemesters only a few days. In short, we are reminding you that it is only about forty days until midsemesters! The name of Assemblyman Theron McCampbell of New Jersey should go down in the annals of his city as that of the boldest mortal of his generation. "Let the jobless," Assemblyman McCampbell哎聘, "eat mush. Not just ordinary mush, but corn meal mush, a dish fit for a king." DANGEROUS WORDS Perhaps the good assemblyman does not realize upon what precarious ground he is treading. Certainly he has never tasted musk. No such rhetorical rhapsodies as his could have been pronounced over such an unpalatable and tasteless dish as mush had the speaker first troubled himself to amuse it. Words like those cost several distinguished heads back in the 1790's. MORGAN PASSES Th passing of W. Y. 'Billy' Morgan marks the loss of one of the University's staunchest friends and most loyal supporters. After his graduation from K.U. in 1818 he launched on a career of politics, journalism, and authorship that made him one of the outstanding and most dynamic figures in the state. His was a busy life and a full one. But throughout the years he never became too engrossed in his own interests to aid his alma mater. His time, his marked abilities, his unbounded energy, and his money were all given freely during the course of his long and distinguished service to the University. His work as chairman of the board of regents is a remarkable record of public spirited and efficient fulfillment of a position of importance and trust. He was a vigorous defender of academic freedom. All his endeavors were crowned with distinction to himself and the institution for which he labored. "Bills" Morgan, by his energy, loyalty, personality, and unselfish service, has endeared himself forever in the hearts of the Jayhawkers. He was the ideal dumnus. Campus Opinion Editor Daily Kansan: I have just finished reading my copy of the most outstanding periodical of the state of Kansas, that is one of the most outstanding in plaid history, and that the Sour Owl has reached the distinction of obtaining a new low today. Far吧 it from me to really entertain this book, but it is interesting because are certain elements of this substance which are really enjoyable to me, who has lived among the criminal element of Toumoxxie for so long. But they still exist. They are innocent children, whose mothers and fathers sent them up to our great university to acquire an honest education. Do you think that they can go to college? No, I don't little faces and a clean ceiling in their hearts after reading this? Nag, for now they have become contaminated. In particular, Mr. editor I object to the use of "nude" instead of "nude." Why they have even infiltrated it. That word symbolizes the spirit of the Sour Owl, and as we have read about it, I register this complaint. Rightfully they do call it the Sour OWL. I have that I have not required the tenderness of the editors, but I do suggest that they should not be ashamed why not call it "Zippo Stories" or something else equally fitting? Well, now ma, I've did my duty to our religion. G. E. L. 15 On the Hill Years Ago The Jayhawkers swamped the Cornus rusker quintet in the game Saturday by a score of 30 to 10. The gam has full of roughing. The basketball team of the University still has a chance to win the Missouri Valley conference championship, but he is a good mathematician in figure it out. A collection of pictures valued at $35,000 is being shown on the third floor of the Administration building this week. One of the most severe earth shocks in the past 12 months was recorded by the seismograph in Blake hall yesterday.
