THURSDAY, MARCH 17, 1927 EDWARD CURTIS FRANKLIN The daily newspaper of Stanford University prints an editorial in appreciation of the long years of service of Dr. Edward Curtis Franklin, a graduate of the University of Kansas, and for more than twenty years a member of the faculty at Simtion. Doctor Franklin, who recently celebrated his sixty-fifth birthday, plans to retire in June. In his honor mom all over the country have organized to raise a Franklin fund, the purpose of which is to create a fellowship that will carry on the spirit of Doctor Franklin's work. The Stanford Daily says: "Stanford is proud to have had on her faculty a man of such distinction as Doctor Franklin. It is a tribute both to the man and the University that such a fellowship should be proposed in his honor, and that leading scientists from all over the country should have voluntarily offered their services in carrying out the plan." MERITED PRAISE Kanas also feels a pariominal pride in Doctor Franklin's work. A native of the state, with two degrees from the University and a record of 15 years on the faculty here, his contributions and devotion to science have made him worthy of the honor he now receives. Norman Thomas, John Macy, Arthur E. Morgan—the convocations committee is deserving of commendation for these three exceptional speakers which it has brought to the University during the past month. Each in a different field are those men, but each an unquestioned authority. Of the three Norman Thomas is probably the best known; certain it that his conventation talk has been rivaled only by William Allen White at the Christmas convention. American Imperialism, of which he spoke, is the most important problem which today confronts the American people, for it they will must ultimately decide whether this country is to remain a friend to the world or become an aggressor among nations. John Macy breathed new life into literature; President Morgan was the prophet of the new education. These three convocations, probably the best of the year, have a distinct educational value, adding to university life a fullness of which the classroom is lacking. To provide three successive conventions of such merit as these is sufficient to warrant praise for the convocations committee; to display the courage, the liberality, and the respect for ideas to invite a radical like Norman Thomas, indicates a realization of the minds of a university—the education of students that they may impartially hear any man, regardless of creed. A JUNIOR LEAGUE Indications are that there will soon be a Junior League of Women Voters organized on the Hill. The movement is prompted largely by the successful state convention of the Women's League held in Lawrence this week. The League is non-participant and is striving for educational aims rather than political interests. It aims to instruct women to use wisely and to the best advantage the right to vote. It is indeed fitting then that a Junior League should be organized among the women of the University in order that they may become actively interested in the political affairs of the state and nation before they are ready to exercise the right of suffrage, and in order that they might be able to intelligently use this privilege. The women with college education are those who will be the leaders of tomorrow, and who will be a strong influence in coming affairs. The recent enactment of the Sheppard-Tower act in Kansas is a notable step forward in state legislation. Not only is this movement sponsored by the University, but representatives from Emoryia, Hays, Southwestern and Wichita were also here, which fact shows that the interest in this movement is widespread among college women. The organization is significant in that it is something which will be of lifetime interest and is of greater value and importance than many of the petty organizations ordinarily 'bound on a university campus. CLEVER, THESE CHINESE American and foreign interests which have for no many years thought of China only in terms of an ignorant bunch of cooks, to be bullied into almost anything, are making a big mistake in their present Chinese policy. Only one member, an unofficial member at that, of the family of nations seems to be approaching the Chinese question from the proper angle. All of the great powers are looking out for "Number One" and disregarding entirely the wishes and feelings of the people of China. Russia alone is the one nation which is realizing and enabling in on, the policy that shows all nations is humanity. Russia alone is treating the Chinese as something more than mere powers on the board of international relations. The Chinese have at least done what they should inevitably do, namely, revolved against the imperialism of the western nations. It appears that their result is going to prove a success, and if this one does not, another probably will. When it does prove successful, one nation is going to reap the benefits of friendliness. Despite the poor opinion generally eld of China, the Chinese are at least ble to realize that Russia is giving him a much better deal than any f the other powers, and the result s bound in be in favor of Russia and gainst the Occidental imperialists. SUNDAYS AT K. U. SCUNDATS AT K. U. Sundays are the hardest days in the year to spend pleasantly on Mt. Orland because of the lack of recrative sports and amusements. There is nothing for the students to do, unless they care to study, read, or perhaps take a walk, if the weather permits. Sunday blue laws do not exist here. A quiet game of bridge, or a little dance, is taken in a fraternity or sorority house. Those who do not have dates may remain upstairs and play cards without fear of bringing cure upon their house; perhaps, but students must not play cards, dance or play tennis out in the open. If the weather is bad, he can sit and discuss books with her. Conversation is not banned. A game of bridge, however, is unthought on of the first floor of a sorority house on Sunday. Surely, one does not want to get "the girl friend" camped, nor her house reprimanded by the Pan-Hellenic council. A youth must indulge in the game of romance in the spring, but he is seriously handicapped by the bans placed upon most of the social graces. He can take his girl friend for a walk on pretty Sunday afternoons, or they can go for a drive if he happens to possess a car or the money necessary for the rental of one. But, a game of teenies? No. A University ruling prohibits it. A Movie? A State law closes the剧院. The dinner hour breaks the mon- tony of conversation. Then perhaps there is a walk or a drive, suddenly hated by a realization that the young lady must be in at 10 o'clock. The day is ended. There will be no meeting of Quill Club this week. The announcement is late next official Ballot was recalled. CALL, NICEMEYER, Series.

The periodical room and the main reading room have a tendency to be unlucky warm most of the time. On the other hand the main room on the first floor, rarely is too warm, in often uncomfortable cold on chilly days.

We have never ceased to enforce our legislation against Sunday managements, Whether it is in this early taste of longstanding Spring weather, a touch of the moonlight so effective these five evenings, or just plain old-fashioned loniness, it is hard to say. At any rate everybody about the Hill seems to be driving in a bazy revert those days. LOST: SOME PEP Rainy, drizzly haws come to such a state that only the most cruel beaten instructor will be able to administer the cold bath of midmeisters to the day dreamers without a pang of conscience. The trouble seems to be that you don't have last something with the arrival of baby weather. Everybody's pop has been washed or been milled. But that's just the rash. The mild semenators are dun, and they will feel awfully like a cold, wet shower—terribly dampening to the spirits. There's only one thing to do: it cure but unavoidable. Snap out of it. These quizzes are almost upon you! There is no doubt that our heating facilities are adequate to insure our comfort while we are studying in the library. The trouble is that the temperature is not properly regulated. Thermometers are needed. It is to be hoped that they will soon be provided 0th Hill. Editorials From Other Hills NEW HONORS FOR KANSAS With appointment of Chancellor Hadley of Washington University to the board of the Rosenfeld Foundation, it is the distribution of Kunawa to ten different seven places. The other two are William Allen White of Emporia and the sculptor, Vernon Kolbeg. The trio will be in college at the University of Kansas. Why not band up the rest of that chair and attend to Mr. Rockefeller that he also give them the other cleven places on the board? That would make a meeting of the trustees a real classroom, rather than a class reunion. It would also just about meet the world’s expectations of Kansan. If there is a place so remote that the people have not board of it, or do not know how easily Kansan can distinguish themselves, it must have the book room and the Foundation will get it. COLLEGE DISCOVERERS "The greatest service a college embody," said a lecturer recently, "in the service of discovering students." The lecturer meant that college add a student in finding a vocation, something the student can do well enough to cura a living after graduation. He means that a college is education that can be made of values. That is the ability for getting the money of one's money in any kind of deal. The instructor also mount a college is good for developing the faculties for orderly thought, for the training of occasional talent along certain lines and for increasing the ability of enlightenment the benefits of one's surroundings. Students coming to school with no condensation of ambition are often graduated with an absorbing eager achievement. They have been discovered. Other students, who come fired by the desire to gain fame along their chosen lines, sometimes are shown that they are better fitted for other kinds of work. They, too, have been discovered. There are other students who, apparently, do not benefit noticeably from their college years. These students need other milieu for the emancipation of publications.
