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, to go further than merely printing the news by using a university holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be gagous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to identify the students of the University.

MOTT CAN'T DO IT ALL
John R. Mott will be here to open his monster religious campaign in two weeks. At that time he will take up the leadership of the biggest single religion fighting unit that ever worked at one university. The men during the week from March 2 to 8 will be under his direction, and the whole campaign will feel his personality John R. Mott will take care of the Mott campaign when he gets here.
But with all his administrative ability, with all his leadership, with all his command Mott cannot conduct a campaign unless the way is prepared for him. John, the Baptist had to prepare way for Christ .
Mott will make his end of the campaign a success if the men keep up theirs by preparing the way for him.
It's up to the men on the campaign committee to see that the way is paved for Mott. Their work may seem small and commonplace, but they are smoothing off just the rough spots that would spoil the whole fight. Mott is more dependent upon them than he is on any of the big men that are coming to help him.
GO OUT FOR TRACK
The track captain has called for men. The students should answer. Kansas wene every dual meet it entered last year, and has a good nucleus for another good squad this year. But there are a few weak spots. Men going out now could fill these places, and help to give Kansas another Valley championship, as well as win a few individual honors.

MUST PAY ROYALTY
The fact that the senior play management must pay a royalty on the production this year is proof of the quality of "The Professor's Love Story." Professor Mac Murray, director of the play, wrote the producers, asking that the management here be released from the payment, but his request was refused. The plays of former years had royalties attached, but always succeeded in having them relinquished. The "Professor's Love Story" is of too high quality to release its royalty.
"IF YOU DON'T WATCH OUT"
Last year the Men's Student Council was arrested and fined by the city authorities for tacking posters on the telephone poles and trees along the streets in the student district. This merely is a word of caution to those concerns who are now putting their ads on this forbidden property.
Stolen From the Mail Bag
Hear this vow. Never again wi I trust a human being. One more name has gone down on my little black list of horrible exam mistakes. This lat est arrival is the Mental Flunk Now I don't mind a real flunk now and then—theoretically speaking that is. They are not always as bad as they are marked down to be, and sometimes a lot of good. But I do hate to be taken in by someone as—well, here's how it happened.
I was standing in line at the Registrar's office to get, my grades, and about seventy-nine others—I being the seventy-third, I think. This particular object of my present wrath was seventy-fourth. She got talkative, and she went getting at it, so of just being planted there, with nothing to do but count the inches between me and the little window, I let her rave on.
Dear Aunt Sophie:—
"Oh dear," she began, "I'm simply scared stiff to see my grades. They're just dreadful. I know I just about flunked in everything. Oh, dear, what shall I do if I flunk? Aren't you just petrified?"
Well, now, Aunt Sophie, I wasn't petrified by this. I had to say so, I would so, quite frankly.
"That Philosophy!" she groaned,
"I got rattled in the quiz, and
couldn't remember a thing. That's a
3 sure."
"Oh my goodness," said I. "Don't worry about that. Why everybody gets fine marks in Philosophy. That quiz was really too easy. I'm sure you did as well as I, and I expect at least a 2."
"And physiology," she went on, and "german. I can't think of a thing that can save me in either of them. Oh dear, what will mother think. I'm afraid the folks won't let me come back to school."
She seemed about to weep on my shoulder, so I sailed in to comfort her. I encouraged her, told her how I knew she would come out all right, and just sympathetic with her and cheered her up as if she had been my dearest friend. In the couple of weeks before Christmas, she opened the window, we got quite chummy. Pity is akin to love, you know, and I was SO sorry for her.
Well, finally I got to the window, and got my grades. I took one look at that slip of paper, and then rushed for fresh air. I won't say what I got, Aunt Sophie, for I prefer to tell mother myself, but sufficient to say that I needed the air. When I came to slightly, I became aware that someone was tapping on her ear about me in bed, waving a slip beneath my nose, and squeaking joyfully, "Oh look, look, look!"
Aunt Sophie, if you'll believe it,
that unspakeable person had made all ones,
and two of them were one blouses.
Never again will I trust a human being!
I hope she gets hang nails.
Yours hopping mad.

Dear Town Tyler
son —From Town Topics.
Never in the history of universities and colleges has there been such need for united intercession on the part of the Christian students and of all other Christians in the spiritual possibilities of these centres of learning, as in this fateful moment in the life of the world. With a deeper sense of responsibility than the world, therefore, the officers of the world call upon Christians to dedication call upon Christians of every name and of every nation, particularly upon those who are members of universities, colleges and higher schools to observe Sunday, February 28, 1915, on the Third Day of Prayer for Students.
As we contemplate the overwhelming catastrophe which has come upon the world, the serious consequences $^{\circ}$ of which are already being felt in every country, it becomes increasingly clear that nothing less than the overrueling and the oppressive work of God and the marked manifestation of His love and power in answer to prayer can bring true peace and harmony among the people. Intercession is essential also that Christ's followers may be prepared to bear the far heavier burdens of responsibility and to meet the far greater opportunity that comes to them as service beyond the limits of the present upheaval. Old things are passing away; all things may become new.
PRAYER DAY
In the vast and transcendent important work of repair and reconstruction, the Christian Student Movement to the world, the international university, and colleges in 2,500 different universities (including all the nations now at war) and their combined membership of over 155,000 students and professors, are destined to have a significant part in the mission of evangelization so largely the coming leaders of the most vital, the most potent, the most hopeful forces—the Christian forces—of all the countries and of all the races. What can be more important for the King's mission than that work of Christ be carried forward with wisdom, unselfish devotion and consuming zeal among those who more than any others are to guide Christian thought, and action in each nation; and that to establish the value of this world-wide Federation of Christian students as a unifying force at a level of unparalleled strain and strife. How much hinges on the preservation of its solidarity? To the prayer of our Lord "that they will one" can ensure this wonder work.
Even in the midst of the present struggle the student field presents an absolutely unique opportunity for fixing attention upon Christ. This is not true only of the depleted numbers in the belligerent countries but also of the bodies of students in all neutral nations. Never have the students of the entire world manifested such a serious interest in Christian questions involving issues of life and death. Never have they been more willing to respond to religion reality. Never, therefore, has there been such a time to exalt in all these centres of light and privilege and leadership, Jesus Christ the Lord. Who only can meet all the needs of the human heart and of the human race. At a time when everything seems to be slipping, it is supremely important to hold before men the central and abiding Fact—"Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever." On behalf of the General Committee's Student Christian
