The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the news in newspaper or bookstores; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be careful; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university; to help the students of the University.

A GROWING DEPARTMENT
Mention mining and the average mind pictures a dingy hole in which brawny, overall men, with lights on their caps, are working. Seldom does the uninitiated realize that mining includes other than mere digging, blasting, and bringing to the surface, those materials which form such important factors in present day industrialism. This failure to realize the breadth of activity in mining is no doubt explained by the fact that the really great strides in mining have been accomplished during comparatively recent times; particularly as regards mining engineering. It is therefore to call attention to the work being done in the department of mining engineering, in the University of Kansas, that this edition of the Daily Kansan is dedicated.
Founded in 1890, the mining department, has steadily advanced until today it occupies a position as one of the most widely known and respected divisions of the School of Engineering. Since its origin every possible opportunity has been grasped to make the department known throughout the state by frequent visits, on the part of both students and faculty members to various Kansas mining regions, and through the medium of written reports and articles published in engineering and mining journals, calling attention to the kind and quality of the mineral resources of the state.
Unceasing and untiring effort has been devoted to perfecting the courses of instruction in order that the department might be recognized as doing high grade work. That this goal has been reached is evidenced by the excellent positions secured by the graduates and the increasing demand for their services.
The present position of the department of mining engineering is an example of what consciouscient effort, on the part of both students and faculty, together with a generous sprinkling of co-operation, can accomplish.

Propped up by pillows on a hospital cot, Stanley Newell, law '18, wrote for four hours at a law examination yesterday afternoon.

RUMORS GONE WILD
Some people look at a faint suspicion so long that it takes outline for them, appears to be a fact, assumes huge proportions, and goes rolling off down hill, destroying whatever is in its path. These people may be perfectly sincere, but they are perfectly in the wrong.
Suspiciouss thus set in motion have but the tiniest chance of being founded on anything, yet they can do as they can to supported charge and sometimes more.
Men in public life suffer the most from exaggerated suspicions. There are people in every community who delight in taking them up, spreading them and strengthening them. The facts are always available, but rarely referred to. A guess becomes certifiable; heresay becomes reliable testimony.
On the campus the damage which rumors can do is always apparent. They create factions, which have no place in university life, prevent united action and hinder progress. There is no particular instance at hand, but the tendency may be seen in many things.
If anyone harbors a suspicion he has a moral obligation to perform in seeking the facts before by an idle work starting a rumor which may get away from him and do great injury.—Washington Daily.
Note-taking is a science. It is a science based upon judgement and governed by close attention. Just what is extraneous and what is gist must be distinguished by close attention; subordination of material must be arranged by exercise of judgement.
The student who gives his closest attention, jotting down only dates and statistics, gets more out of a course than the person who covers pages with notes. The latter often asks for information on the lecture while trying to get more words, and when preparing for an examination, finds it hard to separate what is important from what is superficial. Close mental attention is vastly to be preferred to attention to words, the results of such attention are hard to compare to the collection of closely written pages which must be studied again before the reviewer can get the real meaning of the lecture—Michigan Daily.
Like the stenographer who concentrates all of her attention upon her vords, the average note-taker in his verbs takes up the attempts to get every word verbatim.
SCIENCE OF NOTE-TAKING
A NEW JIG IN A K. U. LAB
Next year the mining department of the University of Kansas will offer college students a 3-hour course in methods and principles of mining and ore dressing. The students of geology will find the course in ore dressing especially valuable to them in their professional work. The discoverers of minerals should know how to make tests for valuation. They must also know the ore dressing laboratory will be on
