UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
"IF I WERE DEAN" TO BE GIVEN APRIL 25
Practice for Senior Play Begins
—Cast is of Well Known
Student Actors
The first practice for the senior
patron was Dean Were, who held this
afternoon.
The play is to be staged the latter part of April, probably the 25th, according to Alton Gumbiner, author of the production who will also direct. "The cast is getting the lines well in hand," said Gumbiner, "and we expect to have the play in shape in about a month."
There are fifteen members in the cast and all have had parts in other University productions. The lead will be played by Cecile Burton whose work in "Under Cover," the Dramatic Club play, made such a hit. At Dykes will be the comedian to the dean. Frank McFarland is a legislator of the type the average University student imagines them.
The play is unique in that the plot is purely a local one and bound to be more interesting than the more general plays. The entire production isative with good comedy and a pretty love affair runs throughout the play.
The scene of the play is laid at Maiaria Center, Utah but it will not be hard to recognize it as things that go on on Mount Oread.

The High Cost of Education An editorial in the Goucher College Weekly points out that the increasing expenses of education are resulting in increased tuition charges at many colleges.
Vassar College has found it necessary to add $50 a year to the $500 it already charges, although the trustees hope the extra sum will be only a temporary addition. Smith is charging an additional sum of $50 to its price for board and room. Mount Holyoke, beginning next September, will increase by $75 its rate for room, board, and tuition—Radcliff News.
Chancellor Hall of Washington University has created a permanent committee on recommendations, the faculty supplying the membership. This committee will act as an employment bureau for students and universities, and its duties will extend into three general fields; it will recommend the graduates of the school for teaching positions, aid in finding professional openings for graduates or engineering degrees in architecture, and help undergraduates who are paying their way, wholly or in part, to find remunerative employment.
All students in the college who failed to pass in a majority of their work last semester, freshmen, seniors, graduates, and all, will be sent home immediately unless they have received a passing grade in all of their work for the first semester, or the new semester, and decree of the arts and science faculty, after having allowed flunkers a month in which to make good.-Oklahoma Daily.
Cornell is planning to join many of the Eastern colleges and universities in the formation of a naval unit. Men with experience in handling motor or sail boats, or who have had experience in coastwise astronomical navigation, are especially desired. In case of rescue, the men would man the mosquito fleet, and would be under the command of regular naval officers.

the Philosophy of William James." B. Th. Florymur, professor in the faculty of law, authorized translation by Edwin B. Holl and William James. Authorized translation by assistant professor of philosophy, assistant professor of philosophy, University of Kansas, and former
The mind and heart of the author are engaged in the composition of this enthusiastic labor of love. No one could understand James better, nor expound his philosophy more ably. The early pages of personal portraiture will interest students and admirers of the philosopher as much as the more exegetical part; the philosopher throw valuable light on the philosopher's own expression, not merely of the intellect, but of the mind, the whole character of the philosopher. The portrait is a wonderful harmony of scientist, artist, moralist, lover of his race. Four convictions became the foundation of his character: human freedom; human existence; of evil, the existence of God, and the salvation of the world; the absolute triumph of good over evil, through the co-operation of man with God—Henry Holt and Company, New York. $1.30 net.

against what she has been taught to be the evil mind of man. Bequeathed with three tests for a man, Mary goes forth.
Through careful planning, Mary meets five men, brothers of girl friends. All fall before the three tests, and Mary returns home discouraged, only to find a man in her house. She found that she saved the home from fire. Her natural sympathy goes out to him and during the convalescence that miracle of love is performed and Mary is confronted with the reality. Shall she marry this man and lose $50,000 her aunt left her on condition that she does not marry?
Mary decides the last man is worth the sacrifice but happily her lawyer comes to the rescue and saves the legacy for her.
leaders. You trouble the author is a practical psychologist, for he surely chose a title that has a sex appeal; however, it is a good story and well worth an hour's attention, to give entertainment and to the more careful reader a shadow of present day living in its relations between young men and women—J. B. Lippincott Company, Philadelphia. $1 net. 178 pages.
There's a Reason!
