VOLUME XI.
2,000 ATTEND LAST CHAPEL OF THE YEAR
Large Crowd Goes to Gym-
Professor Carruth Appears on Platform
ZUEBLIN GIVES ADDRESS
Boston Teacher Speaks on "Education for Freedom," Says Legacy of Century is Threefold.
Fully two thousand persons, most of whom were students of the University, attended the final chapel exercises of the year in Robinson Gymnasium this morning. Vim and vigor characterized all the exercises from "America" to the "Rock Chalk" which closed the assembly.
For the first time this year, all the faculty members who attended the session were seated on the platform. They followed the Gym main entrance and marched in that manner to their places on the platform. The applause, which greeted them as they entered, became louder at the appearance of the University faculty, many of the University faculty, but now in the University of California.
In the absence of Chancellor Strong, Dean Blackmar presided. He read the first Psalm, "Blessed is the unmerited man," not in the counsel of the ungody."
Audience Sings America.
Audience Sings America:
The musical part of the program began with the playing "Heart's Rest" by the audience, "America," by the audience, and "Dean Blackmar had named the page in the hymnal where it might be found. This elicited some humorous comment from the speaker a little later.
Mrs. C. A. Matson of Wichita sang

platform. He said:
NUMBER 164
Democratic Spirit a Factor.
"The legacy of the nineteenth century was threefold: industrial organization, the democratic spirit, and the cosmic sense. The nineteenth century was appropriately called by Alfred Russell Wallace, "the leader of great wonders were not its verities but its vitas. Modern industrial organization has multiplied creature comforts beyond the dreams of earlier times; it has united workers on a scale before unknown, but it has not made them happy; it has tried to increase science, technology, and scientific wealth, has increased material wealth and sacrificed spiritual values by compelling uniformity.
"It is just beginning to dawn upon us that an even greater factor than the democratic spirit for the life of tomorrow is the cosmic sense. The fifteenth century knew a great deal about the remote heavens and nothing about man. It was meant to use about the man who is at hand, and through knowledge of him we are beginning to get a vastly larger grasp of the universe. Philosophical, religious and other speculations of the nineteenth century have steadily enlarged the bounds of human vision. Post-Socialism Anarchism Thought, though, has been the theosophy and pantheism-each suggests an endeavor to be all-inclusive, to present a vision of the fullness of life.
"The second factor in the heritage of today is the democratic spirit. This has not yet expressed itself so fully in liberty and fraternity as in equality. Despite the shameful extremes of luxury and poverty a superficial equality pervades contemporary life. Everybody reads; everybody travels, everybody does what everybody else does because everybody else is doing it. More people read than ever before in history. Most of them cannot yet want good things; hence the taste of the cultivated surrenders to the popular demand. Journalism is extravagant; fiction is journalistic; the drama is sensational. The domestic life is momentary. It is momentarily sacrificed to mediocrity. Audacity is required to rise above the commonplace.
Education Not Adequate.
"Education cannot be adequate unless it takes account of this threefold legacy, which indeed is crudely done in the familiar educational trinity: education for occupation, for citizenship, and for character. Mediaeval culture is no longer sufficient. The college entrance examination system of life we cannot train free men and women for the functions of tomorrow by a system of education designed for sequestered men nearly a thousand years
ago. We shall use our industrial organization, democratic spirit, and cosmic sense in preparation for occupation, citizenship and character when we give the pupil his trinity of creation, service and harmony.
"The child cannot be fitted for occupation in the ever bigger world if we merely teach him a trade or a profession. He must not only have a dexterous hand and a trained eye, but the power of incorporating his imagination in the work of his hands. Most of us need few things like it all, as will benefit by knowing how to make better if not fewer things, whether we make pottery or poetry. The pupil must be taught service that his occupation may have some other goal than money-making and that citizenship may be a serious accomplishment. The school must be cooperative, not competitive. The examination that reveals the mind must be surrendered to the teacher of the unconventional mind of the child. The school must become a workshop and a playroom instead of a prison or a hospital. Training for character will be secured not so much by catechism and discipline as by the exposition of the meaning of harmony.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 29, 1914.
"The whole nature of the child must expand by reaching out for the whole content of the universe. He must get a world-philosophy. He must come into harmony with Nature, man and God. He will reach Nature through science, man through art, and God through life. Science will mean to him not the laboratory but the world. He will live and learn and work out of doors, will come into knowledge with Nature if he has health, taken in its whole meaning; physical, mental and spiritual. Man is revealed by the work of his hands; the history of civilization is written in architecture. The pupil will come into harmony with God not by theological instruction but by entering into the universal and comprehensive even if too young to grasp the riddle of the universe. He will gain knowledge of his own accomplishments or those of others; he will desire to penetrate the mystery of the cosmos and discover the unity of all things.
"Thus the heritage of the twentieth century will become the possession of all children, and they will be fitted in occupation, citizenship and character to be conscious agents in the extension of the benefits of industrial organization, the democratic spirit, and the cosmic sense. Then we shall have a society of free men and free women."
THAT DEGREE, MR. SENIOR,
IS BY NO MEANS ASSURED
The registration office is sending out report cards to the instructors in the College on which the senior's are to be reported as soon as possible.
There is a belief common on the Hill that the grades of the seniors are reported before the final examinations, but this is not so, and seniors should hold of their degrees until the final examinations have been checked.

WHITE CROWS FLEW AT K. U. LAST NIGHT
Society Approaches Freshmar From Oklahoma and Almost Captures Him
Two well-known college characters approached a freshman whose father was an actor.
"You are a public spirted student," said the first c. e., "you believe in the moral uplift of the University. You are a human being." In conclave the inner circle of the White Crows has decided that you should become one of us. The word was passed to the outer guards and from them to the members, two only of whom are leaders. And you were maniacously elected."
"Well spoken, freshman," observed the other c. e. "We will arrange for your internship and the members must assemble in absolute disguise. Friday night the time, later we will communicate to you the place. And there's another matter. The initiation fee is two dollars. It's payable
But the freshman had no change on his person, so he gave a check. This morning seeing a light, he stopped payment on the instrument. Then he told his story to a reporter 'or the Daily Kansan.
"Well, I'm-I'm much obliged," stammered the freshman. "I didn't expect the honor, but I wanted power to fulfill the obligations of a White Crow."

THEY SPENT THEIR MONEY
Marvinplus Succeed in Getting Bid of Surplus Money— Grub, Cigars, Good Time.
The Engineers spent that money.
They were the hours of eight and ninety-three last night.
About eight o'clock the spending began with handshaking and orders to take off coats and sweating. The man was an informal time and "it was had."
The first thing on the program of course, was Engineers songs. These were followed with current popular songs, then old popular songs, then the inevitable "Engineers Ramble." Everyone present, save a few of the more dignified faculty, had off his coat and followed the strains to the best of his vocal ability. Once in a while some one looked at these ersers troops. This continued until Prexy Dingman mounted something high and announced that if 'you will get in line'—that was far as he got.
They lined up and after much jostling by all a and a great deal of line-bucking by Bill Wiedein and Tony James, were served with sandwiches, they lined, and kept lining until there were no more eats to be lined for. Then there was another respite filled by "Hyperbolic paraboloid" and "why should he be worried inasmuch as the crowd is all here?"
That was followed by ice cream with the same kind of lining up and rushing and "Get that guy, he's there twice already." The cream and attendant cake disposed of, alluded out of doors taking place with them as they were lit until the holder was on the ground outside of Marvin Hall.
That practically ended it with the exception of the crowd that tried to go down town and be naughty, and couldn't because each student had to go home and bug for a quiz. Put the money is spent.
Then all congregated and listened to music by a German band, and got the rest of the cigars, thus finishing the spending of the money.
But the money is spent.
