IN MEMORY OF DYCHE
What memorial do we have showing our respect to Prof. L. L. Dyche for the things he did for the University of Kansas? Dyche Museum, the fruit of Professor Dyche's interest, love, and diligent labor for K. U., bears only his name painted on the door.
Professor Dyche did the practically impossible when he secured the appropriation for the Museum. Other buildings were badly needed, but Dyche went to Topea and almost lived with the populist legislature for a week to convince them of the need of a museum.
The Museum was built. Professor Dyche is directly responsible for a great many of the valuable fauna placed in the Museum. Dyche went
on an expedition with Penry in 1894 to the Northlands. Dr. Cook was the ship's physician on this trip. In 1865 Dyche was in charge of an expedition into Greenland and Labrador. On both of these expeditions valuable animals were secured for the Museum for which Professor Dyche received no renumeration from the University—only his expenses. Some of these animals are very rare and valuable today. Does not Professor Dyche's work merit more than his name painted on the door of the building that he was directly responsible in securing for K. U.?
One Board of Administration voted to have Dyche's name carved on the Museum, but the plan was never carried out. Do we not owe it in a memory to Professor Dyche and in respect to his family to have his name carved in the stone of the Museum?
OPINIONS A NUISANCE
We college students have so many studies and outside responsibilities weighing on our minds that it is quite too much to expect us to have any opinions. Yet people are always inquiring as to what we think about the Gubits, or the Bolshevik, or the League of Nations. The obvious answer, for most of us, is—Nothing. Whattever opinions we might formulate about these things will make no difference to Greenwich Village, the Russian peoples, or the Democratic party; so why should we cease thinking about our new clothes or our last week's date long enough to form troublesome opinions that will only get us into arguments. Life is so much simpler without opinions.
Opinions are really very dangerous things; when, for instance, they are a substitute for fact. Someone has recently formulated the opinion that K. U. owns the valley, and it has spread among the students faster than influenza could. This opinion will stir up a tremendous amount of pop and determination and cause people to condemn students who do not
find time to attend the rallies and games. It will make things very unpleasant for the few of us who like to wash our hair or burn around down town Saturday afternoons.
Besides all this, people with opinions are always having some odious responsibility thrust upon them; it must be quite a bore and so much to manage a party or preside over an organization.
Really, opinions are a nuisance and life resolves itself into a much simpler process without them.
BEYOND PRICE
learning by study must be
Tweens are entailed from sion to son"
Learning, or knowledge, is the one
thing that you must acquire solly
through your own personal efforts.
Whatever the knowledge that you
may have stored up, you obtained
either by conscious or unconscious efort
wollih within yourself. You could
buy it; it you didn't steal it;
neither was it bequested to you. And
you can't give it away; neither can
anyone steal it from you. Whatever
happens, it remains in you as a part
of you.
It is true, you may have to pay for the opportunity to learn; as, for instance, the money you spend in order that you might attend the University of Kansas. But that of itself doesn't add to your knowledge. You might, also, steal a dozen text books, but what will they profit you in the way of learning if you stop with the mere act of stealing?
Because of these strange conditions—they are strange, because they apply to nothing else—it does seem that the right, the ability, the chance to learn is one of the most wonderful privileges afforded us.
Another man may burn your house,
he may steal any material thing that
you possess, he may ruin you financially,
but he can't take away from you
what you have learned.
THE NEW MEXICO
Mexico at last seems to be emerging from her nightmare of political revolutions, counter-revolution n.s., brigandage, massacres, and popular frenzy. She has gradually dropped from the front pages of the newspapers.
Alvaro Obregon, newly-elected president of the Mexican Republic voices the new spirit of Mexico in the following unique interpretation of an old adage: "I would rather teach the Mexican people to use a toothbrush than to handle a rifle."
And he is accomplishing his purpose. He is dissolving the old standing army by degrees and is providing land grants for the discharged men. He believes that if the Mexican soldier and peon once becomes a land-owner, brigandage and disorder will cease in Mexico for all time.
In addition, he has quickly quelled the only signs of revolution that have appeared since he assumed his office. The first arose in Lower California in early September through the hostile attitude of the head of that state, Governor Cantu; the second was fostered by Pedro Janiora, a bandit, in Jalisco. Both were quietly and effectively settled beyond fear of reappearance.
General Obregan, an Irish-Indian is working to establish friendly relations between the border states and Mexico and between the United States government and the new Mexican administration. He has held conferences with the governor of each border state and is working for a speedy recognition by the United States of the new republic. The press of the United States predicts recognition in a short time, as the new Mexican administration seems to be founded on an intelligent basis of law and order and a complete reorganization of the foundations of Mexican society which will convert the average Mexican from a life of brigandage and idleness to one of lawful and peaceful service to his country.
Erma Smith, A. B. 20, is employed as an instructor at Vassar College, one of the best known schools for women in the United States. Miss Smith majored in the department of education and was a regular work as a student, according to one of her former instructors. She has done no graduate work.

Campus Opinions
To the Editor, Daily Kansan:
ne went and married HIM instead of me"
The freshman cap, as a subject fo
discussion, has been picked to pieces
so often that it is hardly more than
a mere rag. One almost hesitates in
reducing the cap to its function of
stepping on someone's sensibilities.
It is a pitiful object of innocence
betrayed. Time was when a freshman
guarded his cap as carefully as the
"last dime" of his remittance. It was
as good as an insurance policy to its
buyer. It is highly touching
of almost. anything else the
freshman possessed.
But now things and conditions are different. The cap has degenerated in importance, even in the eyes of the high school graduate. He no longer guards it as he would his own life. When he is tired of wearing it he lingered on it as aside, since in the knowledge that it can be used to "go hand or far as he is concerned. What does he care and who can blame him?
There are many freshmen on the hill this year who haven't worn their caps more than two weeks altogether. Nothing has been done or said; so why should they worry? No reason at all. It is only a matter of a few short years until the freshman cap will cease to be seen on the campus of old K. U. It will die a slow but long death. Yes, but it is about finished. The cap has ceased its prime function as a "safety first" credential, and consequently is being discarded by dozens of barb freshmen. No one to say them nay. Would you wear it if you could get out of the obligation nice and easy? Most certainly not. So, burrah for the freshmen! X. Y. Z.
On Other Hills
Hugh Jennings, former manager of the Detroit baseball club, may be chosen as Cornell baseball coach at the meeting of the alumni baseball association called to select a coach for next season.
A vigilance committee, with power to regulate the freshman-sophomore squabbles and other matters, has been appointed at Utah University. The members will wear stars just like regular copers, and among the rulers in this college it will be a one-fledgling freshman and sophomores to appear on the campus in Derby hats and moustaches.
A campaign to eliminate bizarre and suggestive steps at University of Illinois dances has been instituted by the Illinois Union and the Women's League. It has received the unanimous approval of students, faculty members and University of Arials. Letters of warning have been mailed to all men's and women's organizations on the campus.
Students of Utah University, who are members of the air service reserve corps, will have an opportunity to complete their flying training and to qualify for pilots and observers at the summer training camp which will be held at Cheyenne, Wyoming.
An unusual combination enteez Harvard this fall in the form of Frederick Santee, who at the age of thirteen has mastered five languages, can speak Spanish and French and has advanced far beyond his years in other branches of academic study. Besides this his high school record shows him to be an amateur rival of Babe Ruth with the bat as his ability surpasses that of Joe DiMaggio for his team. He will doublemake the Harvard team according to coaches.

PROFESSOR GUY W. SMITH
"One thing that impressed me when I arrived in Lawrence was the wonderful cooperation between the people of Lawrence and the students of Smith. Aawk Professor in mathematics. "It is a very beautiful little city with its trees, its well kept and parallel streets which run true to the compass. The state is even larger than ours. There are more vegetation and trees than I would have thought."
Professor Smith received his B. S. from the University of Colorado in Electrical Engineering in 1908 and his M. S. from the same school in 1908. He was then employed in the school and taught engineering and physics, and he went to the University of Illinois and was assistant professor in mathematics, physics and astronomy, and also took graduate work from 1913-17, receiving his Ph. D. in '17. Mr. Smith has also taught in Beloit College where he was instructor in physics, and he held the same position he also held at the University of Kentucky for two years.
"I am very much pleased with the university here. I like the location and the buildings. But above all I like the hill on which the University stands for I am a native of Colorado."
Professor Smith has a hobby of collecting kodak pictures of mountain scenes and of camp life in the summer time and he has a very keen interest in this as his summer work consists of visiting as gate in the mountains.
