Entered as second-class mail matter September 29, 1867. Arrived in Richmond, renee, Kansas, under the set of March 3, 1867 first time he was by student at the Department of the University of Kansas, from the school of the University of Kansas, from the
The Daily Kanan learns to picture the dawn of humanity; to go further than merely printing the news by standing for the ideas of the people; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be careful; to be serious problems to where bonds; in all to serve the best of its ability to serve the needs of the people.

THE HOME STRETCH
Seven days more of classes. We're on the home stretch. In two weeks we can draw a deep breath. But with notebooks, back themes, term problems, and thesis due, and about ten week's work to be done in one, and Harold Lloyd or Douglas Fairbanks at the picture show, the date rule off, and soring here—well, is it any wonder one becomes rather frantic at times wondering if it will all get done*
There will be those who didn't go to the show but got their trigonometry. There will be those who left their trigonometry to go to the show.
There will be those who made straight A's and who are safe on the road to Phi Beta Kappa. There will be those who didn't make straight A's and far from it.
There will be those to whom the call of the Kaw will be stronger than the call of the library.
Isn't human nature funny?
At any rate we do have a variety in our college. But the democratic part of it is that each one can choose for himself. No one is placed in one class or another by anyone of anything but his own vocation. We can chose for ourselves.
And then there is the classmate who thinks Cameron's Bluff is the method taught in economics!
THE OREAD MAGAZINE
A magazine which brings before its readers the best of the literary talent on the hill is one which deserves the support of bill men and women. Such a magazine is the Oread, devoted to the furtherance of all that is best in the ranks of literary endeavor among local people.
It is a magazine which has in the past fallen just a bit into disfavor, Hard times hit publications, as well as everything else. Readers of the Oread have lost faith during such periods, and it has been hard to restore it.
But the quality of work now being displayed in the publication should be sufficient to establish a greater confidence in it. All that the editors want is a fair reading of it, and then a genuine realization of its value.
It is worth the trial, and is worth the support of University people.
SETTLE YOUR ACCOUNTS
With the school year almost at a close it would be well for each student to take a look at his accounts and see if he has any outstanding bills. If the merchants have been so obliging as to allow you to run bills they should certainly not be forced to carry them over into the summer.
It is so easy to forget such an item if it is left until the last day. It is the last thing that you want to think about and therefore it skips your mind.
The merchants have been very kind, they have given credit on face value and have not doubted your good faith.
Now is the time to straighten such things up. Don't let it go and then forget it in the last minute. Pay your bills now.
LOYALTY
Within a few weeks 682 men and women will graduate from the University, and will leave its portals, sheepskin in hand, to take their positions as citizens of the world at large, as college men and women to be leaders in their field. After their four years here as students, how much loyalty and unflienching school spirit will they take away with them? And if, in after years, the mention of their alma mater fails to bring a flush of joy to their checks or indeed falls to stir them at all—upon whom the blame rest—themsplies or the institution?
Eastern schools have always prided themselves upon the great amount of school spirit kept by their alumni and base the reason for this enduring spirit upon the strict maintenance of traditions and old customs. Western schools are naturally handicapped as far as this is concerned because of their greater youth, but can they be said to utilize to advantage the traditions which might be perpetuated? Here in the University of Kansas, invaluable traditions have been allowed to die out, traditions which should be kept alive to be landmarks of loyalty in the minds of the students. Too much celebration of petty things have crowded them out. Antagonism with the Aggies and Missouri; the celebration of Ucnie Jimmy Day; the engineer-law fight; and a half hearted interest in the North college tradition almost sums up the recognized traditions of the school.
To kill off the interclass fighting, Chancellor Strong promised the students a holiday about the first of May every year. In the spring of 211 this was given on May 10 and the old McCook bleachers were torn down. The year following no vacation was given, but campus day was combined with the one we should have had and placed on Saturday. This year May 10 came and departed without a sign of recognition of Stadium Day—another tradition gone.
which stands as a stunner reminder of the early days of the University when conversation was held in its chapel and its class rooms hold all the students with room to spare. Why is there no student loyalty to this fine old building? Old North College does not mean as much to K. U. men and women as it should. It has not been symbolized to represent to the students the elemental beginnings of the University, and to work for their loyalty through their imaginations.
Loyalty is an intangible thing and difficult to get hold of and so it must result from a self respect, a reverence for old things and an active regard for the administration. For this reason faculty and students must co-operate with each other in the upholding of these old traditions before such loyalty can be made stronger. Let the first year man be instilled with a knowledge and respect for these old customs, let the administration faithfully hold to them, and the college man will grow in his years of student life to love more and more the institution of which he is a part, until upon graduation, his loyalty to his alma mater will be as a part of him as his education itself.
We will all have seen our May Fate by the thirty-first!
Traffic was blocked in the vicinity surrounding the Riley county courthouse, May 10, while a crowd gathered to watch a carpet beetle. The county judge ordered that "the '12, had dared each other to stage the carpet baked scene in the court yard and they were carrying out the wager" in amusement of the curious throng.

William Weidlin, B. S., '14, captain of the Kansas football team in 1912, and one letter man in basketball, has been engaged as football coach of Hays Normal for the 1923-24 season. It was announced by the commission that he has been a member of the faculty at Hays Normal since his graduation.
Harry Lloyd Miller, A. B. '02, has recently published a new book, "Directing Study." He is now principal of the university high school and associate professor of education at the University of Wisconsin. Several current reviews have commended the book highly.

Grades Are Better Than Knowledge? To certain species of the genus professor, there comes an overwhelming delight in concocting quizzes based on how well one responds acclimat, and veneered, and which after all is said and done, prove nothing whatsoever of what students know or get out of the courses. Time and again is this done. There is one professor in the department of econometrics, Ms. Funk, who funk the major portion of certain of his classes by asking weird questions

JAMES NAISMITH
TO AN ANXIOUS FRIEND
You tell me that law is above freedom of utterance. And I reply that you can have no wise laws nor free enforcement of wise laws unless there is free expression of the wisdom of the people—and, alas, their folly with it. But if there is freedom, folly will die of its own poison, and the wisdom will survive. That is the history of the race. It is the proof of man's kinship with God. You say that freedom of utterance is not for time of stress, and I reply with the sad truth that only in time of stress is freedom of utterance in danger. No one questions it in calm days, because it is not needed. And the reverse is true also; only when free utterance is suppressed it is needed, and when it is needed it is most vital to justice. Peace is good. But if you are interested in peace through force and without free discussion, that is to say, free utterance decently and in order—your interest in justice is slight. And peace without justice is tyranny, no matter how you may sugar coat it with expediency. This state today is in more danger from suppression than from violence, because in the end, suppression leads to violence. Violence, indeed, is the child of suppression. Whoever pleads for justice helps to keep the peace; and whover tramples upon the plea for justice, temporarily made in the sense of peace, only outrages power and kills something fine in the heart of man which God put there when we got our manhood. When that is killed, brute meets brute on each side of the line.
So, dear friend, put fear out of your heart. This nation will survive, this state will prosper, the orderly business of life will go forward if only men can speak in whatever way given them to utter what their hearts hold—by voice, by posted card, by letter or by press. Reason never has failed men. Only force and repression have made the wrecks in the world.

Most of the faculty, or at least the part which tries to dispense knowledge along with the grades, and who organize their courses to extend over the whole semester rather than the last week, say that finals are the bane. Not only do they furnish a place for students to get answers, but they allow the ones who didn't do a thing all year to come through with flying colors.
Seniors and the Finals
THE SAFETY VALVE
Once again will the seniors in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences be given the rare privilege of taking the finals. Grades, which form the criterion of judgment for deans nd heads of departments, will mean nothing, even though it is the last season. But in a School of Engineering will allow seniors of A or B standing exemption during the week which means more to them perhaps than any other week of their career in the University. In fact, the majority of there might be someone who has a B might easily be knocked from his perch to a C or even a D, and miss why all these opportunities, say the heads in charge? Someone might graduate without knowing his textbook from back to front and that disgrace the University forever.
on tariff tabulations which require his students to carry around at quiz times, in their heads or otherwise, the senseless rigorale. Nor is the department of economics alone to blame.
It often happens that new professors are easy. They are, the deans conclude, because there were too many A's and B's in their classes. The professor is summoned before the high trilium and the riot act is read to him. From thence on, he dares any one to try to make a grade in any of his courses. He figures up percentages and classifies his students, A, B, C, or F. For this first year, the professor is required to exist in the department of journalism, but thank the powers, he is there no longer.
All of which leads us to suspect rather strongly that some professors attach more import to the grade they disperse than to the knowledge or instruction they may or may not be able to put out, especially if they do not have it themselves. And students will pass such courses under such professors in spite of them. If the professor pitys the pity, for there are few students who will not be dishonest when there is no other alternative.
The blame is fixed invariably in the student. He is dishonest and is cheating himself of his opportunities, while he does not give the parentaliment of psychology, if the theory and facts alone were taught, together with a knowledge of the practicability of the science, the courses would not only be intensely interesting, but also valuable. But the professors over thre, the scientific dears that they are, have furnished out a scale of intelligence which declares emphatically that a certain percentage of the class must be. And flunk they do right and left.
And so it is. As an ordinary class of individuals, students are honest. But there will always be a few dishonest ones, as is always the case in an aggregation, and the few will be able to be honest to a majority, when the professors are dishonest with the students.
Charles P. Sherman, professor of philosophy at the Wilamette University, says that students should not work at the same time they are going to college. A student cannot do two things at once; therefore if he needs money to continue his education he should stay out of school until he has earned enough money in college through many years of college. Professor Sherman also says that it is better for a student to attend a small college than a large university, because in a small school the student will have a better chance to become personally acquainted with his teachers.
In the Philippine Islands there is a college older than Harvard. It is the Santo Tomás University at Manila, and is the oldest institution of learning under the American flag. It was founded in 1611, twenty-five years before Harvard, and has had one of the statesmen of the islands.
