UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
CLOSES SHORT CAMPAIGN
Dr. Gray Delivers Last Address on the Duty of University
Women
Dr. Joseph M. M. Gray, of Kansas City, completed a series of enthusiastic religious meetings at the Methodist Church last night. All of the five addresses delivered by Dr. Gray during the campaign were particularly applicable to University men and women.
"University women must interpret democracy in the light of spiritual idealism," said Dr. Gray at a meeting of the Y. W. C. A. workers in Myers Hall yesterday afternoon. "The modern women are not bound by centuries of tradition and she is particularly fitted to do this." A typical case of the new place that women have taken in their lives is found in countries where women, clad in overalls, are doing men's work in the factories.
"In every field of work, formerly limited to men, women have proven themselves as efficient and in many cases more efficient than men. The responsibility for keeping this leadership in the political and social field opening to women rests with the present generation of University women."
Dr. Gray made the last address of the series to University men and women at the Methodist church last night.
VALENTINE DAY NOT AS OF OLDEN TIMES
Blame It On St. Valentine
If you get an ugly valentine this morning or any time today, you can blame it all on a Roman priest, named Valentine and called Saint (abbreviated St.) because he was a priest. But at that, St. Valentine wasn't to blame for the day and its consequences.
It so happened that this saint was first beaten with a club and then beheaded by common "plebes" of the Roman good-old-times. And that is all he had to do with the matter. Young men and women of those ancient times were wont to marry in the church, but now they must that our folks use June. Somehow they connected the killing of St. Valentine and marriage together and called this day St. Valentine's Day, the day of Marriage and courtship
But the original meaning has become degenerated and is now a more jocular festive day caused by the more common people sending ridiculous colored caricatures with burlesque verses below to each other. But occasionally we find a wooer sending a fatal wave with a piece of "Hymen's altar" and a pair undergoing initiation into wedded happiness before the altar, and hearts and darts decorating the corners of the sentiment."
But all of this is for the plbe. We do, however, find some young persons of note receiving boxes of card with tender verse appended apronto.
So what's the use?
