Published in the afternoon five times a week, by students of the University of Kansas, from the press of the Department of Journalism.
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate degree go further than merely printing the news, by more thoroughly University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be aggressive; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; all to, in addition, ability the students of the University.

A CHANCE FOR PEACE
The International Polity Club, with some work on the part of its members, should be able to progress greatly a peace sentiment in Kansas. With the University as a center it could, by forming branch organizations, or by sending out the results of its discussions, unifying the state in an anti-war spirit.
The University is the logical place for the inception of such a club with a program as it has. The public of Kansas will hearken to what the University has to say on the subject of peace. Any effort of the club to extend its influence beyond the campus will be welcomed by the citizens of the state.
LIBRARY RULES
But the rule that works for the best of all will work occasional hardship on the individual. The case cited is likely the result of one of these incidents.
The communication printed in another column on this page is representative of a great many misunderstandings of the Library rules. The rules are necessarily framed to give the students the best service. There is no object in having them otherwise.
CHEAP ADVERTISING
A petty but annoying evidence of a cheap desire to advertise oneself is seen on many of the specimens in the Museum. Many visitors have taken occasion to write their names and addresses upon the white bones of some of the larger uncased animals, for no apparent reason other than to advertise their lack of the proper appreciation of the fitness of things.

And while you are making that date for the Junior. Prom tell your roommate that he had better hurry if he wants to get that girl for the Soph Hop. Tell him he can make his date now and get his ticket when they go on sale.
Rev. Stanton Oliverer told the students Friday how to form habits. This coming right after Mott had told them how to break habits looks as if the minister was not cooperating very well with the great leader.
The White Cross committee is asking that pledges to the White Cross fund be paid soon. Those who signed for an amount should pay. They promised to, and the money is needed.
Up at Lawrence this week the Students' Council gave a dance to raise a debt. Down at Baker if they had a debt to raise, some one would lead in prayer and then the students would "pay up."—Baldwin Ledger.
STUDENT OPINION
WANTS LIBRARY BOOKS
Editor Kansan:
Now that there is so much talk at the University regarding reformation, I have a suggestion for keeping students from the Library without permission.
The other evening at 6 o'clock I wanted to take a book from the Library but the librarian objected, saying that there probably would be some one else in to use the book. I had to practice on the Hill from 7:00 until 9:30 o'clock, and after that I went back to the Library. No one was using the book and wished to be librarian said; "No, no, no books are allowed to be taken out after 6 o'clock." It is impossible for me to do all my library work at the Library, so what am I to do under such library rules?

Pandora's Box
THE CHIVALROUS MAN
THE CHIVALROUS MAN
There is an end to human endurance—likewise to human endurance OF—when we do not apply to you—June, or Mary, or Clara, but you have probably noticed many a time of those thoughtless sisters of yours.
They pour through the doors of Administration Building, Fraser, Snow, or any other edifice that possesses doors, never even stopping to see who is responsible for making their exit or entrance possible.
Then, oh, gentle maiden, be not peewed if the door is suddenly swung to directly in your face, and you needs must exert your lazy self to superhuman strength to open it. That is, unless some other boy man is immediately playing with a knight. As was said before, all knights wear out at some time or other, and man is no exception. And on the side, just by way of lightening his load, you might occasionally turn around and bestow upon him a kindly smile or a "thank you". We all lie to be apprehended, you know. And by with another man, don't omit a look of sympathy—a look which says, "You poor foolish man. I gladly stay with you—except for this impediment."
In the meantime, some poor man, with one arm filled with books, the other being hailed, snowed, upon or sunburned by the various elements is standing there an unloved portal for eight hundred more or less of the weaker species to pass through. Not only is he running the risk of being late to class, or imperilling his life by a possible stampede of many small felt but, most likely, not liable to happen, is seeing his best girl swinging through the opening with another man. He clears his throat, and makes a sound in his wind pipe similar to a whistle, and sometimes even dares to speak her name, but she is deaf to all entreaty and chased to his chapped, red hand of service.

I remember, I remember,

We like our track above the crowd,

Speaking the Kansas Language
The editor of this paper, several years ago, saw a man very busy engaged in a hand to hand scrimmage with his wife. We are somewhat of a peaceful disposition, but we just beaten up a woman, without interfering. So we rushed over and jumped in between them and gently advised them to use a little judgment, declare a true and sit down and talk it over. We had barely gotten the words out of our mouth, when the next one came along, in place of concealment and commenced plying it vigorously on us, and every time it found a soft spot. The man in the meantime had been executing a flank movement and was just in the act of hanging a chair over our head, when an important business engagement and beat a precipitate retreat through an adjacent window. And after calmly thinking it over we have arrived at the conclusion that any guy who tries to play this Dove of love will not succeed. After we are strictly neutral and are going to watch the scrap from the other side of the fence—Minneapolis Better Way.

FOR NEUTRALITY
Genius is infinite painstaking, says Lonefellow.
GETTING BY
Dear Aunt Sophie:—
Did you ever notice a genius at work? Did you not wonder at his superior aptitude to patience, his never tiring efforts to make a difference in the whole? Time after time some part was fitted, taken off and adjusted, then reftitted. You no doubt became tired and walked away but genius worked on. Infinite painstaking marks were left at last the most brilliant coworked his labors.
The real student is a genius. He believes in taking pains with his hands, and he knows the facts of a subject but masters the details. He works out the relationship
I certainly wish you were here so that I could let off a little steam. I hate to be always doing it in a letter, for you probably think I am an eternal knocker, but surely if you were here you would see the faults sticking out just like grilled bumps on an old oarchard hat. The baking I was doing at that time of vanity—in the men, too, as much as the girls, and it amuses me at the same time that it disgusts me with its absurdities.
In my French class, Aunt Sophie, there is a girl who sits next to me whom Thackeray should have put in his "Vanity Fair." She sits there the whole of the period, and all on earth she does is manicure her finger nails. No, she doesn't bring her nail file and polish and orange wood stick to class, but evidently she has never found the need for them. She puts it on her finger. She first puts her rosy little finger in her mouth and moistens it gently. Then with the fingers of her other hand she pushes the cuticle back from the nail as successfully as any manicuring girl in a barber shop or a beauty parlor could do. It takes her about four minutes for each finger, and she does each one of them in turn. Then she takes a bone hair pin from her perfect coifte, and cleans and uses her skin as a buffer, she polishes them until they fairly reflect her fair face in their smooth surface.
I must go to class, so fare then well.
In haste₁.
The remainder of the hour she sits and admires them—and the result is successful, I'll have to admit. But I have always been taught. Aunt Ursula would bring things in public any more than they would slide down earl doors. Now, I know she is a lady, and I am sure she would never slide down a banister or stick out her tongue at anyone, so why does she do this? I hope you notice that she looks like Likewise, the men are just as vain and just as proud of 'nice looking nails as the girls. And they are apt to go just as far to acquire them. Why, Aunt Sophie, I know of two or three at least, who bring files to class, and play a regular little tune all due to reacception while they saw and saw

A four-year course in mechanical engineering with the advantages of fully equipped shops and laboratories, prepares the student to enter this broad field under the best conditions.
Mechanical Engineering

should be encouraged in knowing that the growth of industry, and the modern striving after efficiency, open a broad way of opportunity to the able mechanical engineer. He is always in demand. His position is often one of large responsibility. He is well paid.
of each idea to every other. Contrast with him the student who pretends to gain only such knowledge of a subject as will enable him to "get by." He cares nothing about the details, he is not interested in the relationship of one phase of a subject to another. He's satisfied if he "gets by."
Watch these two men, after they leave college. They enter the same office. Genius becomes absorbed in his work. No detail of it is so small that he does not notice. Perhaps he remains five or ten minutes after quitting time in order to finish a task. He never forgets his job. In spare moments he is considering this and that phase of his work in an environment where he has perhaps they are details, but he works on the theory that details mastered lead to larger things. His employer notices his aptitude to patience, his painstaking attitude to detail awards is looked upon with an amazement. The manager has taken his measure.
Notice the student who prides himself upon "getting by" in college. He watches the manager as much as he does his job in an endeavor to discover just how much he must do in order to "get by" with his work. When quitting time comes he is the first to ring out his card. From then until eight o'clock the next morning his mind has a hundred miles from his house, in "getting by" in a while but before long the manager has got his measure, also, and at the end of the month his position "expires."
Why the difference you ask. Bots had diplomas from the same institution? Yes, BUT the one man made his aim that of getting an education; the other that of "getting by." Are YOU getting an education or are you "getting by?"—Kansas State Collegeian.
