Entered as second-class mail matter September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence, Kansas, under the set of March 3, 1879.
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 Kavanah aims to picture the Kavanahs to go further than merely priming the Kavanahs to pursue a University holds; to play no fascies; to be clean; to be cheerful in their feelings; to be serious problems to water head; in all, so serve to abilitie the students of the University.

OURS IS THE TASK
According to President Wilson, education is "the training of men who are to rise above the ranks." It is the educated man, the well-informed, who molds the thought of the nation. Into the hands of those of us who are in the universities and colleges today will come the task of guiding the destinies of the Republic of tomorrow. From press, pulpit and platform, and in his daily utterances, it is the man who knows that creates public opinion.
If the universities and colleges are the origin of any thought, if the opinions of educated men are to count, then the weight of the opinion of universities on any subject of importance should exert no small influence on it.
Wherefore it is that the anti-militaristic propaganda generated at Columbia University should receive the support of every other school in America. Universal peace, seemingly so chimerical, can never be accomplished while vast standing armies, the kind the advocates of "preparedness" in America would have, are in existence. The introduction of military drill into the school of America is a step toward militarism, and its host of attendant evils.
The first law of nature—self-preservation—makes it incumbent upon universities to oppose any move to further militarism, for education and the arts of peace have little place at the shrine of bloody Mars. Learning, progress in the sciences and arts, come to a halt when the sword is unsheathed. What a fate overtook the learning of the ancients through the centuries that might ruled right in Europe. Shall such be the fate of the vaulted civilization of this, the heyden of art, science and literature.
...Perhaps you smile a little at that. Perhaps the ancients would have smiled, too, had they been told of the terrible war of the 20th century.
It is a question that concerns vitally every one of us. The movement to give Germany, a constitution, autocratic, absolute, without the right of free speech or public gathering. It is not all inconceivable that in the universities of America, free America, should originate the thought, that becoming crystallized, would bring about the brotherhood of man, and the end of useless senseless slaughter, famine, destruction, rapipe, that are the inseparable companions of war. Certain it is that the college bred men of tomorrow have a task to discharge that is fraught with terrible responsibilities. Here in America, with democracy as firmly entrenched in our hearts as the love of God, we must strike at the heart of a system that is the deadliest enemy of democracy, a system that would make soldiers of each of us, trained efficiently in the business of legalized murder.
LET JOY BE UNCONFINED
This seems to be the season for new social stunts. First the Girl's Prom springs into the limelight and into the columns of the esteemed
Kansas City Star, and now comes the all-University party. The latter has been a cherished project of Mrs. Eustace Brown, advisor of women, ever since she came to the University, but it has met with one discouragement after another in the way of refractory statutes, legislators, and various other circumstances. However, when the mighty engineers put their shoulders to the wheel, all obstacles fade into nothingness. 'Twas ever thus and ever shall be, praise be!
Hence and therefore, on a Saturday night in February, when the ordeals of quiz week and enrollment are over, and the machinery is running smoothly again, the entire population of Mt. Oread and suburbs will gather under the hospitable roof of Robinson Gymnasium and make merry.
So far, nothing but a reception, a series of stunts, a dance and some eats and drinks have been planned for the evening's entertainment, but doubtless this scanty program will be enlarged as soon as the committees get busy.
Governor and Mrs. Arthur Capper, Lieutenant-governor and Mrs. W. Y Morgan, and members of the governor's staff are expected to be among those present, and it is up to everybody to turn out and make the party go off well. Let the town folks take care of the movies that night.
Remember, the engineers will furnish the first and biggest part of the program. Anybody who needs further inducement to attend is either mentally defective or a member of the School of Law. Even those will be welcome, for this is a free-for-all, no comers barred.
Make your date now for Saturday, February 27, and be there at 7:30 if you want to see the performing engineers, the largest collection of prodigies ever gathered under one canvas.

THE BENEFITS OF LITERATURE
The benefits of literature can hardly be overestimated. Books enlargen a man's horizon. They rise a mirage of water-brooks and datepalms to travelers in a desert. They are "the sick man's health, the prisoner's release." Shut within a narrow space of necessity, datepalms stand in a world being long triumphs, where beauty has no assurance of respect, where humanity toils terribly merely for its daily bread or the satisfaction of trivial appetites, the earthly pilgrim need do no more pick up a book, and lo! he steps into another world. Here he is free from sorrow and care, free from the burden of his body, from envy, from vain regrets, from wishes that can never wear the livery of hope, from narrowness of soul and hardness of heart. He may mingle in the society of the good and great; he may listen to the wise man, and the prophet; he may see all the conditions of human happiness and misery; he may watch the human suffering and sufferings nobly conquer or basely succumb; he may go down through the "gate of a hundred sorrows," or accompany Dante and Beatrice through the spheres of Paradise—Henry Dwight Sedwick, in the February Atlantic.
Every spring there are a great number of alumni who come back to Ann Arbor and shout themselves hourse. It is called an expression of loyalty to the university. Some of these same men, back in Pittsburgh or Spokane, have not a single Michigan man in their office corps. They not only make no effort to get Michigan graduates when they have a vacancy in their staffs; in some cases they are so indifferent as not to make it amount to an aversion. The case of a large employer, with dozens of professionally trained men in his employment, of whom not one is a Michigan man, is in ponit.
LOYALTY
Applied loyalty is hard to find. Michigan doubtless has her share of alumni who are sincere in their allegiance. But there is a discouraging predominance of the university, and lands the ability of its men—over a convivial demi-tasse—and yet who will turn around and disprove his spoken judgment by hiring men from Swish or Plute. Our view of the acme of this profession is embodied in those who pays out cold dollars to the recent graduate of the college of which he is a former student.-Michigan Daily.
The wives of the married students of the University of Minnesota have organized the Minnesota Dames Club. Meetings will be held at the homes of members on the second Tuesday of each month.
Says That Our Enrollment Compares Favorably With That of Other State Institutions
CHANCELLOR CLAIMS K.U.
IS IN THE FIRST RANK
In spite of the fact that twenty state universities in the United States have larger enrollments than Kansas, they are not entitled to brag about it nor can they attribute it to any superiority in methods of teaching. Chancellor Frank Strong said that Kansas has more college students, according to population than any other state in the Union and if the American College were at Lawrence instead of at Manhattan, the University of Kansas would rank among the first as far as enrolments are concerned.
According to the enrollment statistics of the thirty leading universities in the United States in 1910 the following universities are ahead of Kansas: Columbia, California, Chicago, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Harvard, Michigan, New York, Northwestern, Illinois, Ohio, Minnesota, Northwestern, Syracuse, Missouri, Texas, Yale, Nebraska, Pittsburgh, and Iowa.
"Columbia University is situated in New York which has a population of more than four million and that accounts for its larger enrollment," said Chancellor Strong. He added that the universities of Pittsburgh, Michigan, Chicago, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Harvard, New York, Iowa and Pitt were all situated in densely populated states, as compared with Kansas, and that their having a larger number to draw from is directly responsible for their superiority in enrollment. Universities of Wisconsin, Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, and Nebraska have their agricultural college with the university thus requiring them larger schools. And so it is readily seen that K.U. really excels many of the larger schools when the facts are taken into consideration.

K. U. POST OFFICE KEPT BUSY
The University sub-station of the United States post office in Fraser Hall, handles a large amount of business. The clerks sell to the University as well as to the student office and the counter. The figures of the sales of stamps and stamped paper for the year 1913-14, ending June 30, 1914 are comparative between University and counter sales. The total for University is $2,571.46; for the counter sales, $2,571.46, making a grand total of $8,311.96.
