The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of men who go forwards than merely printing, the news by standing behind a holder; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be humble; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to serve others; to authenticate the degree of the University.

K. U. LOSES ANOTHER FRIEND
For the second time within a few days the University and the state have suffered the loss of a valued citizen and friend, Dean Frank O. Marvin, forty years a member of the faculty and twenty-five years head of the School of Engineering, has left a place that will not be easily filled.
To Dean Marvin belongs the credit of having built up an engineering school of the first rank, of having obtained for the University a chapter of Sigma Xi, and for having actively promoted engineering education in the state. He served with honor as a member of the state board of health, the Kansas Academy of Science and the Kansas Engineering Society.
More significant than all this, however, is the regard in which his students held him—a respect and affection which found its expression in the bronze bust of Dean Marvin which is to be presented to the University next June. It is the gift of the engineering students of forty years who came under his influence and remembered him gratefully.
The University also owes Dean Marvin a debt of gratitude, for, like his friend and fellow worker who preceded him a few days ago, he declined many attractive offers from other institutions. It is such men as these who have done the most to make the University what it is and who have tried hardest to keep it up to the proper standard.
Usually the natural modesty and lack of self-assertion of such men keep them from being appreciated at anything like their true worth. The fact that Dean Marvin received during his life at least a part of the honor and esteem due a man of his character and attainments is cause for self-coagulation even while we mourn our loss.
GO TO THE DANCE
The Student Council Varsity dance will be held in the gymnasium tonight; the date rule will be off, and the best music to be obtained in Lawrence will be had. The Council is charging a dollar for this dance, because it candidly wants to make money on it, and the money earned by this dance and other entertainments to be given later deserve the support of the whole student body. The debt which the Council has assumed belongs to the whole student body, and it is up to the student body to see that it is properly paid.
PUNCTUAL PROFS?
A student who wanted to arrange his major last week went to the offices of four faculty members during their office hours as shown on their doors and found none of them in.
And yet these very professors hold punctuality as one of the essentials of the student and will condition the man that does not have his note book in by the proper hour.
The student should get his book in on time. And the professors should be in their offices when they say they will be or change the cards on their doors.
ASKED WRONG MAN
Some time ago there was an agitation for more walking among the students of the University, and the Daily Kansan ran several interviews from the faculty on the pedal exercise. But a view of the moving dots on roads and fields about Mount Oread Sunday afternoon would lead one to believe that the Weather Man not the faculty is the whiskered gentleman who should have been consulted in the matter.
Skating on Potter is fine, but how much finer it would be if the Lake were full. At present only about two-thirds as much surface is in use as might be.

THE KNOCK ON KNOWLEDGE
It is really not the quizzes
That tires one through and through;
Most any one can "bump" em
or "squeeze" em.
It is not the nights of study
That gets a fellow's goat,
It is not the fear of funking,
That nails him by the throat
But the fact that when he's finished
A straight of ones has earned—
Just one bad slip upon this Hill
May knock out all his learned.
-Prosy Bill
May knock out all he's learned.
— Prosy Bill.
The reason that some men cannot hear the knock of opportunity is that they are knocking too much themselves.
A Practical Child
Little Archie was told to put down a sharp knife he was playing with, but did not do so. When he cut his finger he ran to his mother, who said: "There! Now don't come to me for sympathy."
"I don't want sympathy," said Archie; "I want a rag." - Judge.
Now that you are safely enrolled you naturally feel better.

Don't worry, that 4 you got in Group 8 of the College is merely psychological depression.

NATURE'S RECESSIONAL
We must rise and follow, wending
Where the nights and days have end-
ing.
Little kindness of the grass,
Pails the dark and falls the stillness.
Walls the dark and falls the stillness.
Little brothers of the clod,
Soul of fire and seed of sod.
We must fare into the silence
At the knees of God.
Little comrades of the sky
Wing to wing we wander by.
Going, going, going, going,
Softly, as a sigh.
Glide the days and nights.
mark—the moving shapes confer,
Globe of dew and gossamer.
Fading and ephermal spirits
in the dust astir.
Moth and blossom, blade and bee,
Worlda must go, as well as we.
In the long procession joining
Mount, and star, and sea.
Toward the shadowy brink we climb,
Halia and drops and falls forever
Halia and drops and falls forever
Like a plummet plunging deeper, this is an astonishing Till remembrance has no longer Comfort. It's a memory that never will.
STUDENT OPINION
—Charles George Douglas Roberts.
Since the Student Council has seen the writing on the wall it has designed to advertise the price of its dance for February 9. A dollar is too much to pay for a dance in the Gym because the member of the Council knows it.
How can it conscientiously ask the people who supported the Union to pay such an exorbitant price? The Gym floor is not good for dancing unintentionally, but the pain of it is that if the ball lock for the basketball men. Why doesn't the Council have two dances in the Gym at fifty cents and show the students that it is actually trying to give them a chance to contribute to its support?
The Council doesn't seem to realize that it is not the one who ultimately bears the burden that has come through its inactivity. Mr. Trump did not pay their Union dues until their names were published in the paper.
If the president and the individual members of the Council had manifested a little more concern about the Union last September they would not have to be giving post mortem dances to pay a deficit, that was caused by the war, when an officer was warm and the soldiers had plenty of warmth and the numbers had plenty of warmth.
The writer is the last man in the University to knock the dance for February 9, but he does not think the student body should be held as one large charitable association when we know that we can find seventeen men in the University that can make the Union a success.
How can it ask our support when it has done nothing to merit its time? Member.
