The Daily Kansas氨 at picture the University of Kansas; to go farther than merely printing the news by standing for the ideas the University uses in teaching; to be clean, to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to water leaders; in all, to serve to the students of the University.
"SAFETY FIRST"
FRIDAY, MARCH 26, 1920
Uncle Sam's army of two million men in the A. E. F, who the healthiest fighting machine that ever engaged in a conflict. Less men were lost from disease than by any other nation. The reason is simple. Before embarking from the United States for the scene of the war, each man had gone through a series of inoculations to prevent disease. Army surgeons, whose duty it was to see that every man was kept in fighting condition, believed in preventive measures. They knew that an army of men made less susceptible to disease through inoculations would be far more efficient than one which had not been given the treatments. They knew that is was far less expensive to ward off disease than to cure it after it had once taken hold. They also knew that a healthy army would be a hard foe to vanquish.
An opportunity for immunity against typhoid fever is being offered to students of the University this week. Free inoculations will be administered to women students by the University Hospital on Thursday, and men students may receive the treatments on Friday. The same effective results are attained through these treatments as from those given in the army; the same immunity from disease is accomplished.
Students who have not been inoculated within the last two years should avail themselves of this opportunity of applying the "Safety First" rule in regard to their health.
A SHORT SIGHTED POLICY
A graduate of the University of Kansas, who is foreign correspondent for a large press association, received very favorable comment recently because he was the only correspondent who was able to interview Kerensky in a language which both could understand. Because of his wide knowledge of foreign languages, this young man is making rapid advancement in his work.
But the trend of present times seems to be away from intensive study of foreign languages. According to present regulations it is possible for a high school student to enter the University without even a smattering of foreign language. And the University is turning out graduates every year who have deemed other studies more important than foreign languages and have left them out entirely.
Oxford, a university which has clung with great persistence to the old custom of requiring an entrance examination in Greek for all students, last week passed a measure abolishing the old ruling. However, the subject
was long debated and the final vote was 434 to 359. The arguments that continued application of the old rule meant a loss of students for Oxford and that the school was lagging behind in modern educational needs were instrumental in its passage. It does not seem possible that the present attitude toward languages continue, for all the countries of the world are coming into closer contact with each other and until a common language is adopted it will be necessary for each to possess a knowledge of the language of other countries.
A CHILLY CONVENTION
The coldest convention they have ever had will probably be this year's record for the Democratic party in spite of the fact that it is to be held in "sunny" California. The delegates have been warned to be certain to bring their overcalls and be prepared "or a chill."
This reminds us that San Francisco is the London of this country. Every morning a fog hangs over the city for sometime and some days does not lift at all. The city standing as it does on a peninsula gets the benefit of all the damp winds, and the atmosphere is habitually chilly. The average mean temperature for June is fifty-eight degrees and seems colder because of the dampness.
Bathing in the ocean at San Francisco is rare, for while the temperature seldom gets down to freezing the water is cold the year around. While San Francisco is the busier city and the business center of the western state it enjoys a very little of the mild alburny climate supposedly characteristic of the state as does its neighbor and rival Los Angeles.
Philadelphia policemen are to have their pay raised fifteen cents per day by the new mayor who was elected on a platform to raise the salaries of city employees. The big question is just what they will do with this surplus. They might treat themselves to an all day sucker each day or save for several days and indulge in a voke.
AMERICA'S OPPORTUNITY
America has never had a bigger opportunity for world commerce than at the present time. This is recognized and acknowledged by business experts. The United States is taking advantage of many of its advantages but with half the world looking to this country the industries here might easily be running double time and tight shifts.
China has a boycott against Japan because of the Shantung affair and reports say that it has been so effective that Japan has lost ninety per cent of her trade with China. This naturally leaves a large field open to merchants of this country, especially for cotton and hardware.
Steps are being taken in Brazil to lower the present high rates in imports. There is a duty of twenty percent preferential reciprocal tariff on certain goods manufactured in the United States.

Among Those Mentioned
Lotus Delta Coffman
Lotus Delta Coffman, now dean or the College of Education at the University of Minnesota, was born in Salem, Ind., Jan. 7, 1875. He graduated, took his A. B. and A. M. degrees from the Indiana State Normal, was a teacher in Minnesota. His work has been primarily educational. He has written several books on teaching and supervision in the school room. He is the editor of the well-known educational series of D. C. Heath and Company. In 1912 he was made professor of education at University of Illinois, from which he graduated. He served in the University of Minnesota in 1915 to act as in his present capacity.
Dean Coffman's greatest successes have been in the field of organization work, where he is considered a forceful leader. This fact led to his appointment of secretary of the committee which drew up the Smith,Towner bill which is before Congress now, which recommends the creation of a Department of Education in connection with the Presidents' cabinet. Dean Coffman also served on mitte on rehabilitation of soldiers, which has been responsible for all the plans the government has used in training wounded men.

Campus Opinion
Editor, Kansan.
The high cost of living seems it have struck graduation expenses with a vengeance. Two days ago the Senior Invitation Committee announced itself as ready to take orders for Senior invitations. Step right up, on; 50a spice for the paper backed up with cash for those bound in leather. Now we have out invitations to your college commencement may be a trivial incident of your entire college career, and when inaugurated, it probably was trivial the cost of paper at that time not being comparable to the cost of diamonds However, speaking from the Senior women's standpoint, there are few but would like to order at least six invitations to work with them. It ceases to be a trivial matter This is not a charge against the Senior Invitation Committee—But if it is aware of the murmurs of protest that have arisen among the Seniors and ugly rumors as to "graft" which are current, it will in justice to itself make clear the quotations it has received in invitations or cut expenses. The committee will cover actual expense. Price has ascended skyward but from the 28 of last year to the 50c of this one, oplain invitations is a long jump.

Economy
Farmbed—"Well, when a farmer has to know the biological name for each thing that he raises, and the zoological name for the insect that uses it, she puts powder that destroys the insect, why somebody has got to pay." -Ex.
The Acropolis Society was the first literary society founded at the University. It was established in 1886 and in 1870 the name was changed to Orophilian. Women were then excluded.
Enclosed in an envelop but with no signature or other means of identification, Miss Agnes Thompson, alumni secretary, recently received an invitation to the opening of an old banquet menu of the vintage of 1881. The banquet was given at the Eldridge House by Beta Theta Pi on June 4, 1881, and the lady who sent the menu—for the inscription is unmistakably feminine—attended the banquet.
Ye Good Old Days
The vianda served at the affair would hardly record it the modern standard of "banquet," but it was so called on the menu. The list of edibles, in the spelling and style of the original, follows:
Ham sandwiches, Beef sandwiches Jelly cake, Pound cake, Sponge cake

At Miss Chapman's request, no legal problems were brought against the students.
