Ooets be Reassured; Spring Now on Way
"Our recent snow and freeze will not long hinder the leafing of the elm and maple trees," Professor Stevens said this morning, "and if it warms up, the campus will soon take on a spring-like appearance.
"Elms and maples," he continued "are specially hardy plants, and a slight freeze does not injure their growth. They partake something of the nature of Arctic plants in this climate; they are most sensitive to theitation must of necessity be of the hardy variety, for plants there sometimes remain frozen for months. When warmer weather comes, however, they proceed to thaw out and go on with their growth. This freezes and melts the soil, and allows adaptation which plants have to make to the adverse climatic conditions."
With such assurances in mind, K. U. poets may now go on with the writing of the spring sonnets, and Rhadamanthi poets' club, carry on their quest, for ever new branches" will soon shape Mount Orend.

Special Services Mark Culmination of Week Of Religious Activities
Sunday's "Messiah" Will Close Co-operative Phases of Hill's
Programs
The "Messiah," which will be wun Sunday, March 25, will close the cooperative phases of the religious week on the Hill. The continuation program will be in the hands of the churches and Christian associations.
"Can You Say Your Religion Works?" "You cannot if you feel content with the fact that you have attended a couple of prayer meetings, the religious convoction, or enjoyed the 'Messiah,' said Dr. Ernest B. Harper, chairman of the publicity department, "the real test of virtue, positive prayer is not meditation, nor prayer, nor attendance at religious services, as important as these factors are." The real proof is Christian activity.
"The week of prayer and meditation being over, having taken stock of your religious status, the next step would consist in lining yourself up with some program of Christian activity. The churches and the Christian associations exist for this purpose. Thus the Council of Religious Workers argues all who have been interested in the work of the week to carry on their church or "Y!" activities."
Friday evening the programs will begin in a number of the churches. Special service for students will be held Sunday. During Passion Week, March 26 to April 1, many of the churches are holding special noon services. The programs culminate on Easter Sunday.

Upon this hill he built a school for young women which he called the Orand Collegiate upon which he stood. It upheld all it stood. Mt. Oread. *

Religion Has Place In University Life, Says E.H. Lindley
"Way to Live is Not Found In Intellect Alone," Chancellor Tells Students
"Religion has an inductible and indispensable place in the transformation of life to be achieved in university life," said Cancellor E. H. Lindley, addressing an all-University conventation which was the culmination of the program of Religious Week observed during the past week at the University.
"There was never a time in the history of education when men and women were thinking more of what university life may mean. All defiance to the development of quality of life of attainable excellence of life.
James Was Man of Insight
"The picture of what a university life may mean," explained Chancellor Lindley, "is enriched by the insight of men like William James. In his great adventure, his research magisterial insights and his American tradition at its best. His youth was spent in a home of culture as the son of a scholar and minister. His education, which was deliberately opened many and wide fields to him.
"Nature to James was not a more collection of animals and plants. Facts of bodily organism were infinitely significant to him. The ultimate meaning of life was the object of his search. From his study of natural sciences and medicine, James came to a tremendous vision of the possibility of human life. The terrestrial animal was the man possibility of controlling his own life. With this thought, James entered the field of psychology.
Students Urged to Read James
"More men have read his book than almost any other on the subject of psychology," said Chancellor Lindley. "It should be read for the inspiration and insight into the meaning of life. It is a great treatise on moral life."
"Great things wake them to the full realization of their powers, according to James. Men use only a portion of their powers until stirred by great experiences, great responsibilities, great ideas. Men dominated by religious motives are the powerful figures in history.
Men of Will Most Loved
"Religion has driven irrevliability to the church," said James, but that of science in the wonderful book on 'Varieties of Religious Experience.' Religion is the total reaction of men to the unviolent nature of religious illusions," continued Chancellor Lindley, "depends on how you accept the necessity of your relationship with the universe. It is not the attitude of wearing the yoke of obedience, but a genuine performance of duty as a loyal service."
"The great way of life is not found through intellectual alone," said Chancellor Lindley in conclusion. "Surrender your will and obey the spirit of William James and you will know the truth."
K.U. Shooting Gallery Popular With Women
Bang, whizz, bang, the shot of gunpowder, the flash of shots, sandbags lying in dark heaps, exclamations of "Shoot on number three," the surrender, and "This gun is awfully heavy," from the unpracticed shooters. They are what one finds and hears when he visits rifle practice. The shooting gallery is in a long, dim room at the back of the old Army headquarters, going from the new power house through a dark, narrow tunnel. Any women in the University who wishes to learn to shoot may go to the practices on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons. Sergeant Palmer of the Army at Arto C., directed here with the O T. G., directs the practices.
