After you have been out for Thanksgiving vacation—four days of academic procrastination—and you come back without any of your lessons, and then the heat is off in the buildings—no classes. Ain't it a grand and glorious felino?
Consider two types of professors.
PROFESSORS—ONE CLASSIFICATION
First, the dogmatic "pillar of the old school" variety. His theories of teaching revolve around the antiquated, egotistical idea that the instructor and his methods of teaching are the alpha and omega, the acme, the never-to-be-improved pinnacle of excellence, in his particular field. New ideas of procedure—any originality in methods, or in viewpoints—advanced by a wide-awake and ambitious student, are straight-way taboosed as being out of line, or "jazzy", and utterly at odds with certain academic traditions set down in the instructor's mind as being final. Such originality of expression, says the instructor of the old school, should be stifled—let them try out their new ideas when出 of school, when striking forth in the wide world on their own book. But meanwhile, while taking "their" course, do as they say—for is not the instructor the all-knowing genius in his particular field? There are a few professors of this type in Mount Goad Hills.
There then is the second type—the modern professor, as it were—with vastly different theories of teaching than the "old-scholar." Instead of being empirical and all-knowing, this modern teacher is broad-minded, and wide-awake to improvements and suggestions. He sees his mission as a teacher in a different light from that of the dogmatic type. With him teaching is a high trust, a commission, where the instructor as the good sheepard not only gives advice in lectures and personal interviews, but also constantly delights in new plans, and new ways of looking at things advanced by his students. He is progressive, forward-looking—not basing his judgment of things upon past procedure entirely. The ambitious, "original" student is not held down, nor his ideas condemned simply because they have not been included in the professor's personal category of "how things should be done" in the course.
Happily, the great majority of K. U.'s professors are in this latter class.
It is this latter class that is serving the young people of Kansas in a truly valuable way. With them the big ideal of education is to get students to think for themselves. And does not a student who conceals some new way of looking at a subject—some new method of procedure—give proof thereby that he has been thinking about the subject? With this type of professor, personal glory is submerged in a great interest in the development of his pupils. Personal ideas are not held as supreme. And yet, in the long run, this type of instructor rises highest in academic ranks—and in the respect of his students—because of this very broadmindedness.
And the few instructors scattered over the Campus, in various departments, who still cling to the old, empirical, iron-hand methods of instruction—with visions beforged by a false idea of pedagogical all-knowliness and autonomy—are detruments to their departments, and to the pupils in their classes. They should be made to see the light—or otherwise urged to move on. For they are behind their times.
A local paper remarks that Lawrence was the first city in the state to install a street railway system.
REQUIEM
We made that guess after our first ride on a Law-
rence street ear.
From the scene of the conflict Of Thanksgiving Day.
The battle is over, the smoke cleared away
The dirges are sung and the flowers are spread
O'er the fast greening graves
Of the Tigerville dead.
Time was when your warriors our own warriors slew
But now 'neath a mantle of prairie and dew
Unmindful of battles of sorrow or care
They sleep while our heroes the laurel wreathes
wear.
You fought a good fight; though your strivings were vain
The fault's not all in your heart or your brain.
We liked that brave spirit of, "conquer or bust"
A health to you Tigers, and peace to your dust.
—F. W. CLOWER.
Plain Tales from the Hill
THE COURSE OF A MIND THROUGH SPOONER

All right, sturdy legs, hold me up along this home floor. In front of this face. Face, a smile a little at the back. New Republic for September 21st. Well, burn my clothes! I'll wait. Hook me over! Curses! Come on old frame, let us go over and set down.
"Everybody's busy. More men coming in and going out than women. Blood over there is stretching so as to pull her waist up and show her sorority pledge pin. Wonder who she's aiming at. Her, she's caught him already. Well, I'm a dirty name; she cooled him back when he was asking for a kiss. She has deep winters in his brow, must be studying Greek. Oo! inla. here comes a real book worm. Make me feel creepy. Remains me of Hungarian goishh. The girl with keen shoulder blades has sure had her nose in that book for a long time at one stretch. Ob- I see. She's been aleep. Tail tall girl in short skirts muzzling her in those blushings. It may be mistaken though she so tall.
"Quarter to nine. Class of 1918—that bents me. Good old days when they had lots of time. Use us—had to read "Plus De Jazir" in New Republic. She moves her lips when she reads—give nice hair that. That blonde is all spawled out in her chair—looks like lack of cultivation along certain lines." wouldn't exactly call it beauty. A hundred and fifty backs bent over a bench—alliteration. Adventitiously—a new word in my curriculum. Wonder if that wife looking statue sees everything I do? Bet he's tired of looking at it. Dash it all! Carses on the New Republic!
Oh hum—things kind o' kathy. Bear up sturdy legs; us go home. Face smile a little—sooon be in the dark."

George E. Nettle, e21, former K.U. star football tackle, football captain in 1920 and all-value tackle, writes to the Kanan asking that his mailing address be changed from Bedford, Iowa, to Table Rock, Neb. "That's what one gets for selecting engineering as a profession," writes George. It leads me to believe that it is even worse than journalism in some phases of its transient demands."
Xenophone P. Smith, c21, according to X. P. himself, is in the "hond-selling game" with the Omaha Trust Company of Omaha, Neb. Smith sends in his handwritten note as an evidence that he still has "old K. U. at heart."
