NEW SENIOR MEMORIAL
MONDAY, MAY 24, 1920.
Something new in the line of senior class memorials is being inaugurated at Leland Stanford University this spring. Instead of leaving a concrete seat or a drinking fountain or a clock, they have given to the school an endowment, to be known as the "senior class endowment" of 1928." This endowment is to go into scholarships, faculty salaries, special series of lectures, athletic funds, or any worthy student enterprise.
The 1920 class of Stanford University believes this is the finest gift they can leave their alma mater, and this is why they have chosen this in preference to all other material and definite gifts. They said it has been tried in many eastern universities, and has always proved beneficial. Stanford has evidently reached the advanced stage of reasoning—that there are other things more beneficial, in the long run, than things you can look at and feel with your hands.
The senior class of 1920 at the University of Kansas has already decided on the gift they will leave with us this year. But next year why not the endowment gift idea be tried here? We have scholarships, a plenty, and money seems to be found some place for lecture series, and we never seem to lack funds in student enterprise undertakings.
Since we have waged a fight during this entire year to "help raise faculty salaries", why can't such an endowment be put to good advantage? Would this method help jar the state legislature and make them realize that the students are interested in keeping their good professors here? Or will it only make the legislature more negligent in this manner? At least, it is an idea worth trying, it is not?
CARRY ON
The necessity of securing the cooperation of the alumni of the University in putting over the Million Dollar Drive, is only one of the many reasons why the Class of 1920 should join the Kansas Alumni Association 100 per cent strong.
The members of tns year's graduating class are well aware of the meaning of the Loyalty Campaign, and the work which will be required to make it n success. They who are soon to end their four years of college life at the University know full the need of the things which we hope to attain through the success of the drive. The countenance of their support after they leave school is not only expected but must be a reality.
The Alunni Association affords the best medium for this work.
In addition the Alumni Association is the only direct means by which the alumni as a whole can benefit the University. It is also the means of keeping every man and woman of the University in touch with each other. Yearly dues are only $2, including a year's subscription to the official publication, The Graduate Magazine. Application for membership may be made by filling out cards secured from any of the following members of the Alumni Committee of the Senior Class: Floyd Hockenhull, Clarence Gorill, Frank Elmore, Evalina Watt, or John Donaldson, or at the office of the Alumni Secretary in Fraser Hall.
The Class of 1920 could well afford to follow the lead of the graduating class of Ohio State University, which joined the Ohio State Alumni Association as a body.
THE WORM WILL TURN
The date set for the turning is Wednesday, May 26. Annual Students Day, a "Red Letter" day for wills, profers will be celebrated on this date by an all-University convention, and speakers from the College, School of Law, and School of Engineering will be given opportunity to voice their grievances and woes against the faculty, the University, and everything in general.
In keeping with the general worldwide unrest, we may expect suggestions for radical changes, and not a few plans for a Utopian University.
No doubt the speakers will make the most of their opportunity for "reforming" the University, and we hardly need caution them that when taking a crack at our predestined enemy, the Profs, to hit straight and hard. It is our one chance as against about two hundred for them, and we must make the most of it.
WHAT TO TELL THEM
Some time ago the Daily Kansas received and printed a communication from a County Club President in the course of the dissertation asked all the powers that be what he was going to tell his home folks and the graduates of his high school about the stadium and Commons and the Million Dollar Drive. He went on to state that he had promised them when he was home Christmas that he could tell them something definite about the projects. He however, was lamenting the fact that he would be forced to acknowledge that Kansas had fallen down on three big propositions. Now, listen, Mr. County Club President, don't you worry about what you will tell the eager listener at the corner grocery about K. U. and the stadium and the Million Dollar Drive. Just read the columns of this paper from now until commencement and you will beyond a doubt find enough material about all those things right there. You will observe, Mr. County Club President, that the School of Engineering is on the job and have surveyed several locations for the new Stadium. You will also observe, on the same project, that several of the professors in the School of Engineering are going to draw the plans for the stadium this summer and that the structure is to be completed for the 1921 Thanksgiving game.
And, now, Mr. County Club President, you will per chance observe that the plans for the Million Dollar Drive are fast taking shape, And, furthermore, you will probably hear through University publicity this summer the full details of the plan. It may be such a thing that the money will be all raised before you get back to school next fall.
And, finally, Mr. County Club President, you may be asked to help raise this sum in your community. If so, you will then find plenty of service to be rendered for old Alma Mater. When you go home be fully informed on all the projects that the University intends to put forward during the next two or three years. Know the plan outlined by Chancellor Frank Strong at his farewell convocation and be able to reel it off to any person who might be interested or induced to listen. In short know the plans of the University and tell everybody about them.
A MESS O' GREENS
Aunt Jemery Mayhew and her great-nice, Miss Saraphine Carter, are out gathering greens. The aunt belongs to the old school. She is as portly as she is a practical as she takes her leisurely way, big rusty pail and old butcher-knife in hand. The nice illustrates the new regime. She is trim and basket and basket and small garden trowel. The weather is cold and glomy, but peaches and cherries are in bloom, some of the forest tree trees are turning into a spray of delicate green and a meadow larkings as it rises above the emerald grass of MVP Hill. The older women still care for meadows "of greens." the young heart beside her knows well the tide of the year has begun to rise. She is not affected by custom and tradition, but she is keen for Mount Oread and home economics Loose-leaf vegetables like spinach and lettuce are recommended she likes to eat the things that grow without new human intervention.
And so they fare across McCook Field and over to Potter's Lake. May be Seraphine is quoting Arthur Graves Canfield's "And dandelions star the grass," only to have Amt Arden derby that mark that water, like the blossom of glad to git erilong without dandelion greens." Really there are plenty of other things that make toothsome mixtures beloved by the old-fashioned advocates of the wild contribution to the spring menu. "Sour dock," and "pepper-grass," plantain and "wild lettuce," tender young thistles, which delectable without the garden addition that may be used later on.
All these loose-leaf benefactors have wonderfully interesting Latin names which Saraphine has learned in the botany department and loves to repeat, though they sound like Chestnut or Lemon. You can little a name. The crux of this whole matter appears when the mess o' greens comes to the table cooked to delicious perfection and properly servied. The good old way calls for young onions by way of accompaniment. We use it in cake, with a glass of cool rich butter milk to complete the harmony. But Saraphine does not like corn bread or sour milk, though she may relish a bit of deux-lac heuse. She takes hers as a salad, garnished with hard-holled potatoes and green peppers. Yet different tastes and times are only incidental. Nothing can change the touch of the spring.
Campus Opinion
To the Editor:
In his speech at convoction Tuesday, Chancellor Strong suggested that one way to increase the efficiency of the teaching staff and to facilitate the handling of the students would be to have a freshman faculty, that is a group of instructors who would teach only freshmen.
This brings to mind a system which is used in several state universities, namely the practice of establishing a branch school for frshmen.
Suppose, for example, the state would make appropriations for and build a branch school at Dodge City. In this school all freshmen work would be offered. The first year work is practically the same in all the schools of the University so this plan would be feasible.
Such a branch at Dodge City would get many students from the western part of the state who would otherwise never have gone to college. Not a few of these would become interested in higher education and particularly in K, U, and would come here to complete their work.
This supplement would be considerably cheaper for the high school graduates of western Kansas and would not cost the state any more than will have to be put into faculty and equipment very soon as it is. F, B, S.
The meeting was interrupted by the entrance of one who made his way to the platform and whispered excitedly to the chairman.
"Thank goodness!" fervently exclaimed one man, resuming his seat. —Everybody's Magazine.
Mental Lapses
Forty men sprang to their feet. "It is the house of Mr. John Smith, added the chairman.
We noticed in the papers the style and prices for men's suits and we smiled—only smiled and nothing more.—Sing Sing Bulletin.
"Is Mr. Smith in the audience?" broke forth the presiding officer. "I am informed that his house is afre,"
"Choose the hat that is most becoming to you," says a fashion hint. But he doesn't say it much, your husband madest when he gets the bill." - Syruecus Herald.
On Other Hills
Member of Michigan's faculty will figure prominently in the course of citizenship which the League of Women Voters will offer to the men and women of Detroit during May and early June.
The classes, which are to be hold every Friday afternoon in the Detroit Twentieth Century clubhouse, will consider phases of local, state and federal government and their relation to the citizen.
Will Teach Citizenship
Prof. Jesse S. Reeves, of the political science department, is scheduled to address the course on May 14, his subject concerning "Michigan Government" "Municipal Government in Michigan" will be explained on May 21 by Prof. Robert T. Crane, also of the political science department.
Further announcement by the Detroit League of Women Voters concerning the program is expected to bear the names of other members of the faculty in the University.—Michigan Daily.
More than a thousand books are checked at the circulation desk of the university library each week and more are passed over the reserve desk, according to Jesse Rader, librarian. Some reserve books are called for as many as 40 times a day, it is said. There has been a marked increase in the number of library books used in the last few days because the fact that so many are checking up on the reading records for the term, Rader said.
Plans for making Mother's Day an annual campus day at the University of Oregon to which mothers of all students will be invited, were recently completed by the student council. Personal invitations and cards will be sent by every student university May 8 and may be received May 8 and A special program in honor of them has been worked out for the week end.
—Oklahoma Daily.
The college entrance requirements to Harvard have been modified by a vote of the faculty. No longer will it be necessary to pass a written examination to enter the university. A system which is an adequate judge of intellect, rather than of specialized cramming, has now been devised.
THE SCIENTIFIC MIND
THE SCIENTIFIC MIND
"There's machinery in the butterfly.
There's a mainspring to the bee,
There's a hydraulics to a daisy.
And contraptions to a tree."
And though only a poet, Vache
lindays sees the truth clearly enough
to close his poem with:
And I hope to see all mer Who think like this
It is the scientific mind, carried to excess, that takes the glamor and the romance and the beauty out of life. The man who sees in love only "seximpulse" in a beautiful landscape only "hypraulities" and light waves has missed the best things in life; his soul is dead.
And yet we find men who are blind enough to say that science is all in all to man's existence, that the scientific mind is the only nane one. But science is only to be tolerated insofar as it serves man in other ways; and this way of making our lot easier and more pleasant, more useful and permanent.
As a servant to humanity, the scientific mind is invaluable; as a dictator of human destinies, it is a menace to mankind. Abstract science may serve as well as the more proctical branches, the man who discovers a new physical law does as much and more than the man who labor saving sciences, but when these tasks up as ends in themselves, they become obnoxious and the world would be better off without them—The Evening Missourian.
Miss Regina Metz of Abilene, will come Friday for a short visit with Helen Robb, c. 20.
