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 at work, to go for longer than merely printing the news by standing up and playing no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be careful; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, as well as to satisfy the students of the University.

A CHALLENGE
Raymond Robins offered the men of the University a challenge last night. He told them what he said he dared tell no other group.
He said that Kansas' baptism of blood bade them, her sons, lead the world to live right.
Let's meet it.
WORK OR GET OUT OF THE WAY Kansas students are bad, no doubt of it.
But how about their worthy professors?
But they never have been accused of being actively engaged in a thing that worked directly against the betterment of the University. If they saw a movement was due to give Kansas a better school they stood aside and looked on, if they did not boost.
A number of those gentlemen are giving quizzes during the Mott week, holding back a campaign that will do more for the University along its line than anything for years.
The faculty members surely know the benefit to the school of Mott's visit. If they cannot help, why can't they get out of the way and let those work who will?
TRY ESPERANTO
Our budding headwriter informs us that "this year shows rapid gain" in the big schools in the Middle West in the use of simplified spelling. Whether you consider it a gain or a loss depends largely on your viewpoint. The English language is fairly good as it stands, it seems to us. It undergoes constant evolution by use, and changes rapidly enough. To the ultra-modern professors who are boasting the fad, and fad it is, we would recommend Esperanto.
Their efforts, if directed toward a better use of the king's English as she is spoken and writ, be of better service to literature.
Who of you who went to the Colonial Party Saturday night, and watched the mixing of prof and stude, of quizzer and quizzed, and noted the look of complacence with which the women students allowed the professors to tread on their feet, still hold that the faculty and students at the University of Kansas cannot be drawn into closer relations?
'RAY FOR PROF AND STUDE
An occasional party as that of Saturday night will do more toward eliminating the class room feeling than all the preaching that could be done in a year.
ASK MANAGER HAMILITON
The Daily Kananan's only answer to
the communication criticizing the paper for not making mention of the Kansas-Washington basketball game, and for publishing the eligibility lists last fall is a request that the writer ask Manager W. O. Hamilton his opinion of the support given the team and the coach by the Kansas.
TWAS JUST TOO MUCH.
Kansas defacted Missouri four straights. The Tigers could stand that. They were used to it.
But when the Aggies did it. That was too much. Someone had to get the result of their ire. And it was Referee E. C. Quigley.
WHY NO NEWS?
To the Konsy.
To the Kansan:
I noted with some regret that no mention was made in the Kansas Monday of the Kansas-Washburn games of Friday and Saturday nights. He is most known for the fact that Kansas won the Missouri Valley Championship was in the small account of the Wednesday night game in Columbia. On the other hand, the Kansas City Star and the counties of Jackson and counts of the Jayhawker team's success and the latter ran a three column picture of the team on Sunday.
I noted in the earlier part of the season that the Kansan was always ready to give the team all the unfavorable advertising it could get hold of—such as ineligible lists, etc., but that favorable advertising of the coach plays a key role. Student leaders. It is of little importance to me in my opinion it shows poor spirit and poor respect for the team and coach.
Fair Play
WHY SHOULDN'T HE DIVIDE?
Editor Kansan:
Why shouldn't the senior play money be divided with the Student Council? The rule under which the manager gets his share also stipulates that the Council shall get half. If it applies to the play management, it should likewise apply to the Council.
The money isn't, for the personal benefit of the Council nor is the debt occasioned by the defunct Student Union its personal debt. It belongs to us, each and everyone of us, for the Council represents us. The communiclast night remarked that it was an "insult to the intelligence of the school and particularly the senior class, to try to force the answer" to decide. He is mistaken. If the Council thinks that the money should be divided, and doesn't force division, that would be an insult to our intelligence.
And why. I would ask the communicant in last night's issue, should not the senior play manager share up? The senior play is not operated for his benefit, is it? It belongs to the entire class, and less directly to every student in the University. Why should he do an academic profit for an individual? I'll venture the opinion that the manager didn't put in half as much time as the members of the cast, and yet they aren't paid.
And the fact that the Student Union debt may stand as a monument to the "indolence and inefficiency of the Council" makes it none the less necessary that the debt should be relieved and be relieved quickly. The more shame is placed on you, the stronger should be able to choose from among an EFFICIENT representative body. If we can't, let's abish the system. But let's don't be knackers all the time. That won't help anything, especially if it's destructive, and offers nothing to the place of the thing abashed with the debt. So we ask the communicant WHY the play money shouldn't go to alleviate the Union debt, and if it shouldn't, how he would go about doing it?
Where the College Fails the Woman
'Sixteen
"Does the college for women make
much difference able to satisfy the de-
pieces it award?"
There are three principal ways in which the college fails the girl, says Caroline Hazard, former president of Wesley's College, in the Ladies' World—the danger of the crowd, the danger of barren learning unconnected with the crowd, and the danger of physical breakdown.
The great effort of every institution is to send out from its classvoices a person and furthermore a

person who has learned that personality is the goal of all training. The college cannot fail if it conduces to the life of both mind and spirit, and trains the body to carry on that life in the world that now is, with true humility that can go on forever. Colleges may make mistakes and need further light themselves, they cannot fail the earnest student.
Women's colleges were founded on the same traditions as men's and the same studies were pursued to prove that a woman could conquer them. But now, granting that the woman is to be taught, shall the college endeavor to teach her the same as man? Why should it be considered necessary to strive so constantly for equality with education has far to extend differentiation. Men and women will exist side by side as they have existed and the college must strive to produce the best kind of a woman.
How many women in the crowd do things that they really disapprove of just because everyone else does? The whole humour of one person is humiliating. The little learning is a dangerous thing where it is not accompanied by a humble spirit. Women need training in physical sciences not vocational training, but the need for training the mind in the sense of its best usefulness in after life.
A satirical Oxford student wrote in one of his university's periodicals not long ago a brief characterization of the Rhodes scholars, among other things expressing his gratitude for a contribution that the American contingent had brought to Oxford, saying, "We can say, of course, that the Rhodes scholars them from the water some capital rage-time, for which we are truly grateful." The conception still more or less prevalent in Oxford and Cambridge, as well as at certain of the large English public schools like Eton and Harrow, especially among young men who have never been in the United States, is to describe that the thing among collegeglers "the degree骄" is fairly represented in a huge bank of students seated on a great college grandstand at a football game shouting, as Walt Whitman would say, "the barbary yap over the roofs of the world." Some also have seen pictures and
Conservation of life is the great function of woman. Why not prepare her for it? A college should make use of its actual daily needs as materials for the student, a woman accepts what is set before her without any idea of the long preparation required to perfect it, both on the intellectual and material side. The college must emphasize the fact that women body have to live together in this life.
"Know thyself!"—the college fails if it teaches a girl to ignore in herself what may be a source of strength as well as of weakness. Attention is more important than education, but the need of such attention and the necessity for corrective work have never been so marked, because never so accurately measured. In overtaxing strength physical laws are broken or must be paid. This is a danger bedesting every man and woman in this age of haste and unrest.
COLLEGE SPIRIT
neard the narration of the "snake-dance" orgy that usually follows a close game of football.
-R. O. D.
The English university undergraduate places these ornamental tales of Yankee college savagery over against his own spring of student enthusiasm, his more staid "varsity traditions and customs," and he cannot understand. To him, the battleground of kings and the battleground of creeds, the home of a classical and historical past, is a far greater incentive to loyalty and patriotic feeling. He will point you to the places of reverence, "the waterless ditch over against Bailol College," where Latimer turned up and did the Rifle. "I will sheil this day light such a candle, by God's grace in England, as I trust shall never be put out!" The English student's zeal is awakened because he realizes that Addison walked in Magdaen cloister, or because here Arnold Toybear was called "King of glory, his source of undergraduate enthusiism, and he naturally depreciates the American who, perhaps, since he does not possess these centuries-old, ivy-covered walls, and windows reflecting the faces of thirteenth century heroes, must gather his heart with the virelle hopes and ambitions clustering around the possibilities of future greatness.
The American would argue, however, that a spring of enthusiasm is not necessarily more stimulating or real simply because it is old. College spirit, shed abroad in the hearts of buoyant youth, is not dependent upon age-long associations. As one American college graduates writes:
"You remember the smoke of burning leaves, as in dripping football togs you ran up the graveled path to the gymnasium. You remember the red and green of autumn hills, and the crunch of snow beneath your feet. Most of all you remember the last Spring evening, when as Seniors you sat singing as the sun came out, until it last had to come into and, bare headed, you sang the Alma Mater. They are memories of little things, but for some reason they refuse to be forgotten."

At base it is not so difficult, this feeling of American undergraduate youth, from what one feels in the gala scenes on the Isis or the Thames when English schoolboy life throbs to college life and effort. It is a very real spirit of success, of doing that breathes through the play activities of the student world, difficult to comprehension to the outside, but forming an invaluable accompaniment of expressions and events connected with activities other than that of study are associated in the thought of undergraduates not merely with the physical, but also with the ideal. The students express their meaning, not only to the men who take part actively but also to the highly-wrought student on the side line, while the pulsating hundreds or thousands who sing and cheer their team to victory, at least vaguely recognizable in the struggle of a college to produce the elements of successful achievement Collage spirit is more than a college song-Monitor.
