The Daily Kaanan aime to picture the undergraduate life of the University, but more than merely printing the news in the newspaper, the University holds, to play and/orrites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to learn; to learn from wiser heads; in all to teach the students of the University.
Some one is always making trouble. Now that the Lord Mayor of Cork has left this world his widow has taken up his cause.
FOR BETTER SPORTS
Idiating the high school youths of Kansas to sport—that is the idea of Dr. F. C. Allen, director of athletics, in his promulgation of "State Sport Week." he must be instructed next fall at the completion of the football season.
The fact that this project is more all-expulsion than any experiment ever tried in other Universities, makes it especially important that every effort be put toward making its inaugural year a success. Atleta will be seat in from every school in the state, and they will be instructed in all branches of sport. Something in the nature of the annual editorial conference, the plan wifi gradually grow larger in presence until the week will be an event of recognized importance all over Kuwait, and the proposal copied by other Universities.
OTHER MISSING FACES
Missing from its former place on the library table of the average home is the family album. It has taken its place with the scrap book, and both of them are rapidly becoming refreshes as antiquated as the pere-odacty).
It's rather a disappointment, too, that these once重要 adjuncts to a home are becoming extinct. Not long ago when Will called on Mary, it was considered quite the most important privilege of all if Will were allowed to look at the family album. There was Uncle Henry, a tall, rather anemic man who was in the Flour Business in Milwaukee. Wil had met Undee Henry two or three years ago, he remembered, but had almost forgot him. Then there won cousin Jane, the girl whom Will took to the pius所在地 where he met Mary. As he turned the pages leisurely, and looked at Papa and Mama and Mama's two sisters and herself, of a sudden Mary grabbed the book, and wouldn't let Will see it. Then there was a merry scuffle in which the youth envisioned, and he eagerly looked to see what it was Mary had tried to hide from him—a picture of her when she was only two years old. Then the scrap book was always interesting, too. There was the verse by James Whitcomb Riley, and the souvenir from the St. Louis Exposition, and the theater stubs of the Majestic Theater. There were dance programs, locks of hair, and just scores of buttons. There were—
But what's to be gained from this recital? Only in reminiscence do these famous American institutions still exist.
WASHTUB PHILOSOPHY
"Oh, it will all come out in the wash," is an expression now that we often hear. They are words spoken over and over, voicing over some difficulty or problem.
Maybe the words appease the temper of the troubled person or cause him to go his way for this time, exegeting fate to solve the problem for him.
Like there might be a *a* time in the affairs of every person when such philosophy would be excusable. But for it to become the rule and practice of one's life is a calamity and the wise are warned by the calamity of others.
In the sphere of the washtub many a piece of goods has been ruined by letting it get into the wash. By observation persons have learned that more than one piece of cloth has been ruined by some other cloth fading on it. Chemical experiments have shown that a cloth has been robbed of its own dye while in the wash. Furthermore it loses in weight. Sixteen ounces of most new cloth, put in wash shrimks to twelve ounces, netting a loss of twenty-five per cent.
So, with the development of one's own character and will power, if one recoils from his duties under the philosophy that it will all come out in the wash, in the end he may find that stained by the dye of other life, his character and will power is, and that he has minimized his own power, and grown to be an individual minus twenty-five per cent of his normal personality by beheading wash-tub philosophy.
OUR NATIONAL GAME
The game which has been noted in America for years is that most popular one, called "Fair Play." Not as well recognized as the baseball, perhaps, but far greater in its wide-spread practice, is this tendency of fear-minded Americanism to give the
"Play up to the rules of the game has as large a place in the lives of the present generation as any other requirement for admittance to the inner shrine of success. The man who meets his fellows in a frank manner and works with them openly, in an effort to make good, soon realizes that his methods are far better than they would have been if he had made use of his abilities at the expense of others.
It has long been the custom in America to reach out a helping hand to the man who is out of luck or to give a word of praise to the one who has put up a clean fight and won. No one is held in deeper respect than the individual who is a good loser in every sense of the word.
The game "Fair Play" increases in peculiarity with greater rapidity than any other game which might be considered national in scope. Its greatest difference from other games lies in the fact that many of the people who play it do so unconscionently. It becomes so much a part of everyone's life that it is not always recognized as one of the most essential factors in that exercise which goes to keep the mind and body in true
Publicity for this national product of American sportmanship covers a great deal more space in our daily given to all, to the other articles on and periodical publications than is sport in the country. Every day we read of the thousands who are playing the game, of those who have won a prize of some great achievement in art or science, and of those who have been too weak morally to play up to the requirements of the rules.
No individual exists who does not have a part to play on the team of "Fair Play"; he wins his honors by

To those who work, I give in turn.
The wealth of treasure that I hold.
To those who dance but never earn
I give of tinsel—not of gold.
So if you fill these noons with play,
Then I may fill your days with sorrow.
For I am the mother of today,
I am—Tomorrow.

I am the one you never see.
I never come; I never go.
Get breaking hearts that anger me
lay the proud and worthless loom
means of the point system and the man who plays the game to the limit of his abilities receives success and a clear conscience as his reward.

The fall campaign of the Semi-Continental Endowment fund at Cornell University has brought the total subscription above the six million mark, approximately $8,141,127. This amount is the gift of the 7,024 Cornell students and others interested in the University. The largest class total up to the present time is $251,203, given by the class of 1908. The first year's class has reached $235, while the class of 1997 subscribed $241,611. The largest percentage of subscriptions was given by last year's graduates when 73 percent subscribed.

Several girls are in the manual training course at Ohio State University. They prefer making Christmas presents with saws and hammers than to making them with the needle, and are grimly accomplishing this task. Determined that this year the "claws" of Santa shall not ruin their bank account, they make warmed tapes, they are making Christmas presents consisting of; tieacks, book ends, lamps, doll beds, crumb trays, and candlesticks.

Seventy-five percent of the men at M. U. are discourate, according to some of the girls of the University. They fail to raise their hats when spoken to by a girl, and one girl complains of being "bottled off the walk in Lowry street." The girls find various reasons for not attending on the part of the men, ranging all the way from the co-educational system to the nineteenth amendment.
At the University of Oregon the students are asked to come to the campus Thursday, December 16, armed with at least a ten cent piece with which to buy Christmas seals. This year the Oregon Tuberculosis Association is selling the seals in place of the Red Cross. The drive will last only one day and the proceeds will be spent in Oregon, to fight the white plague.
