THE BUILDER
He was a maker, a builder. He laid foundations for the structure that would be broad enough to include and deep enough to uphold all that the creative power of his successors might lay upon it. George Washington lived and died in the eighteenth century, but his work shall never know the limits of time. Not that he saw all that might come or did come, but that he placed fundamental truths few enough and clear enough for enduring guidance in the progress he knew his free countrymen would inevitably make.
Washington fought a bitter war against a dependence that was sapping the life and destroying the common consciousness of men who loved their rightful liberty; Then he put into living form the new conception of an independent nation. In his last words to his people he warned against the entangling alliances of Europe and he knew what he was saying.
Lincoln could not have saved the nation Washington made possible if he and his predecessors had allowed themselves to be caught in the intricate and inexplicable windings of Old World intrigue. The intensiveness of American nationalism gave the nation confidence in itself and inspired trust abroad. The world knew that the country of Washington and Lincoln would make no conquest, would never be an aggressor.
Then finally the entangling alliances Washington warned against precipitated the Old World into conflict within itself. Into the midst of the huge struggle of blind forces came one sharp shaft of understanding light. It came from the New World, and it was new. It eventually aligned the forces in combat and opened the way for America to throw her strength with the one at last clearly right. America had to lead out and break down those old entangling alliances, had to find the new plain alliance for the peace of a world set free.
Wilson expressed the national ideal and purpose when he declared for the interdependence of nations. His utterance was not possible until the cause of Washington's warning had been purged away by war. And now is come another day of deliverance, now is the hour of labor for another builder. But the builder builds on ancient and everlasting foundations. Down the ages the spirit of Washington is calling, and forever will call, "After me cometh a builder; tell him I too have known!"
It is discouraging in these times of high winds, we must admit, but it does seem strange that three stripes from the American flag on top of Fraser Hall should remain seceded from the union.
A CHANCE FOR WRITING
University students do not realize that they are missing an opportunity when they let the Hattie Elizabeth Lewis essay pass unnoticed. Aside from the money given to the four winners—$250 in all—the literary aspect as well as the timeliness of the theme should attract three times as many University students as are trying for the prizes.
Every manuscript must deal with the application of the teachings of Jesus to International Relations. The faculty committee in charge of the contest has suggested three subjects to indicate the sort of form the papers should take: "The Term of Christian Peace;" "Christian and National Ideals;" and "The Christian As a Soldier." The University student is to consider some problem of this general type.
The winner of the first prize will receive $100; the second best will get $75; third best, $50; and fourth prize winners will get $25. The papers must range from 5,000 to 10,000 words in length. A tentative outline must be in the office of the Chancellor by April 6 with the name of the contestant. Three copies must be turned in of the completed essay by May 4. The winner will be announced at commencement by the faculty committee.
Members of this committee are eager to see some propious essay writing come out of this subject. The subject matter must be a critical discussion and the writer is to establish as clearly as possible what the teaching of Jesus are affecting the matter in hand. Few have applied as contestants thus far. There are indications that the contest will be a weak one this year unless more interest is developed soon.
If the student would read every book suggested by his many professors it would be necessary for him to have his meals served in the library.
SAYINGS OF THRIFT
Better give up luxuries now than necessities later. Buy War Savings Stamps.
Investing in War Savings Stamps is patriotism plus profit.
Make your two bits do its bit. Buy
Thrift Stamps.
If we take care of our soldiers they will take care of the enemy. Buy War Savings Stamps.
If our soldiers can give their live we certainly can lend our money Buy War Savings Stamps.
He knew his roommate had been up late the night before, but he came storming up the stairs at 1 o'clock in the morning from the Friday dance. He could have reached his room without waking the neighborhood and his tired "roomie," yet he did not think of the little things.
LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT
"After my hair tonic again, huh?" growled the Senior as the Freshire stuck his head into the room. "S^pose you want to make a good impression on that 'sweet young' date tonight. By the way, this makes the fifth date for you this week, doesn't it? Hittin' it up pretty heavy aren't you?
Quoth Senior to Frosh
115 Enroll in Navigation Course
One hundred and fifteen students had enrolled in course in navigation which is to be given by H. Curtiss in the department of astronomy this semester at the University of Michigan.
"Well Kid, it may soften some of the brute in you and it may be a social benefit to go out with women, but these mid-week dates won't pull you any better chemistry grades. Your old Uncle Dudley knows, because he tried it. Besides too much of anything isn't good for your constitution. Better knock off about three of those social uplifts a week and work brain instead of your tongue. The women that accept many week-night dates don't make very good "pals" anyway.

RedCrossNews
The surgical dressing class still meets every afternoon but Wednesday. This is news to some people. Headquarter officers send a reminder that nurses cannot work without materials.
Buy a mile of smiles. Send a soldier a smilege book. It might even prove more entertaining than a smiling letter.
A hurry call has been issued for wristlets and weary weavers of sweaters are advised to take relaxation by utilizing a hank of yarn in the making of two pairs of wristlets. It is suggested that roommates go halves on the proposition and fill the requisition the sooner.
FROM THE ARMY IN WHICH ALL OF US ARE ENLISTED
Soldiers in hospitals have no bedside hat-racks and no trunks that might slide conveniently under the bed. Their belongings—or whatever they have left of what they once had—must be kept together and accessible. To this end the Red Cross has devised a special 12x18 property bag of bright material which is closed by a drawstring at the top. K. U. can begin helping to meet this demand now.

CAMPUS OPINION
“Most of us have at least one friend, trodding the soil of la belle France.” “So this is English when the native son gets what you call exhaustimistic not so.’ This is the supreme eloquence of reversed or backwardly extend’ grammatical form, not so’. You would have us all understand that trending is weakly that trodding is the verbal symbol of bravely brave militarily. Very good. This is very interesting. One country from another, something new about the usage of English every day if only one has the patience to read your estimable journal. The Kansas.
I thank you ever so much and beg to remain.
Your dutiful reader,
Qui Parle Francais.
To the Editor of the Kansan:
THE EDITOR.
The above communication has proved something. The ad in which the atrocious violation of the King's English occurred was read and read thoroughly. The idea is old. It began in Boston in the first days of the old Boston Theater, oldest playhouse in the United States. It was a custom to put into one of the ads in the theater program an error in grammar. The first person who discovered the error and reported it to the office gift a pair of seats for the next production free. People read the ads. Of course they did. They still do.
MENTAL LAPSES
Mrs. Fusbushy—If I don't get a letter from you every day I'll feel so lonely I'll come right back home. I'll write twice a day,—Brooklyn Citizen.
She (belligerently)—Why weren't you at the station with the car to meet me as usual?
he (meekly) - My dear you ought to get into this habit of some mentions.
Lady (entering bank, very businesslike)—I wish to get a Liberty loan bond for my husband?
Mr. Brown—I had a queer dream last night, my dear. I thought I saw another man running off with you.
Mr. Brown—I asked him what he was running for—Blighty.
Lady—Why, I don't believe I know exactly, but he wears a fifteen shirt —Indianapolis Star.
Mrs. Brown—And what did you say to him?
Clerk—What size, please?
Tommy (writing) — O Bill? 'Ow
many bells in o'enough!
BRIDGET'S WISDOM
Bill— Two h'ells same as in 'ell— Judge.
"Bridget, don't you think you could get along with less company? I'm sure no other mistress would stand it."
"Sure, ima'am, that's right! That's why I'm stayin' wid ye."—Boston Transcript.
