UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Lawrence, Kansas.
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students more sharply than merely print-ing the news by standing for the image of themselves; to be clean, to be cheerful; to be resilient; to be able to handle more serious problems to widen heads; to be able to ability to students of the University.
NOTHING TO SAY
MONDAY, MAY 18, 1914.
I am not now in Fortune's power,
He that is down can fall no lower.
Butler.
The Daily Kansas does not believe in printing editorials which might reflect upon the ability of students in any other University, so no mention will be made in this column of the baseball game with Missouri Friday afternoon, the tennis tournament Saturday morning, or the track meet at Columbia Saturday afternoon.
And besides, if we referred to these events we would be forced to admit that Kansas was victorious on each occasion, and such an admission might appear out of keeping with a University's natural modesty when speaking of such joyous occasions.
AND THEN FINALS
However another week and then there will be but one week until finals and the weather will be better than ever. After pausing to consider the matter, (some of us have been pausing most of the term), we can see plainly that what is accomplished now will not be in the road a week from now, and that the best thing in the world to do at the present time is to dig in.
Two more weeks of school and then finals. Two more weeks of sunshine and pleasant evenings and yet the work is piling up; it always does toward the end of the term when the weather is exactly agreeable for practically everything except studies.
GET A GOWN, SENIOR
In three weeks the campus will be turned over to the seniors for the formal completion of their college career.
At that time nine tehths of the classmates will appear in the customary garb of the college graduate—the cap and gown.
The other tenth will feel lost and out of place. They will feel that something is lacking. The power of a tradition is certain.
Tomorrow at chapel time in Fraser, Room 118, any member of the class of 1914 may join the nine tenths ranks since the cap and gown committee has extended the measurement taking time.
IT DOESN'T FLY IN.
The women of the graduating class have subscribed thirty dollars toward the memorial fund and the School of Law has paid twenty dollars, with the College men, the Engineers, the Medics, and the Pharmics to be heard from.
Time flys and the senior bench will never be erected without some
terms of activity by the members of the committee in the schools not represented on the "paid up" lists. The way to get money is to go after it.
PLAY IT OUT
Matthew Arnold in a famous passage writes of his affectionate remembrance of Oxford, lying steeped in beauty, with its towers shimmering in the moonlight. Some day a Kansas Matthew Arnold is going to write the classic descriptive university on Monroe Oread over attention, great views of river and fortile valley in all their vivid shades of lovely coloring.
The baseball season for the University tournaments is about through and teams which have dropped behind in the running are often neglecting to appear when scheduled to play. The prime purpose of the league is not to find the best team but to give outdoor recreation and exercise to students; and you can get exercise even on a team that resembles the K. C. Blues is standing.
A UNIVERSITY OF THE CLOUDS
The possibilities are not all realized, of course. But eventually, it may be believed, the fine administration building will be finished and other buildings will line the crest of the great natural amphitheater through which visitors will approach the university.
It isn't here proposed to enter into competition with this future Arnold, but merely to express the felicitation which every visitor to the recent journalism conference must desire to offer the young men and women of Kansas for the possibilities of an adequate setting for the splendid school that has been built at Lawrence.
The "white city" of the Chicago World's Fair had a great influence in stimulating the desire for architectural beauty throughout the United States. The group of buildings planned for the university on Mount Oread would have the same impact in Kansas, and create the taste of tens of thousands of young people and make them connected with commonplace architecture. It would awaken them to the possibilities of city planning even in the small towns. Within a generation it would have a powerful effect on the face of the whole state.-Kansas City Star.
such a group of buildings might readily be made one of surpassing loveliness. Its lofty setting would make it a veritable dream city of the clouds, a sight worth traveling miles to see.
The chief trouble with the newspaper conference from the journalism student's point of view is the fact that the visiting editor desires to employ first class college reporters for the summer months.
ENDS AND ODDLETS
"Its all in the game," sighed the boarder, as he separated the buckshot from the quail.—Wisconsin Sphinx.
One hundred and fifty students are helping in the Lawrence survey but when they start in on the water they will take a thousand to describe it.
If the Vera Cruz water company resembles that of Lawrence, mark up one "bone-head" for General Funston. He captured it.
Give a fellow enough rope and he will smoke himself sick.-Ex.
"Lessens tension in strike zone."
Headline. Loosened the wrist band on a pugilist's arm, no doubt.
"I'm going to have a rousing time," said the pullman porter at seven a. m.—Cornell Widow.
I've lived a fast life,
I've earned all I spend,
Paid all I borrowed,
And all I lost.
Treat your friend as if he might become an enemy—Publix Syrus.
CONFESSION AND ADVICE
I once had a "case"
That came to an end.
Get a dog boy.
HELL will be your friend.
—Dung
"The Mexican situation seems calm on the outside." Headline. So does a bottle of tobacco sauce.
There is one good thing about the new thirty-five cent hair cut rate. It encourages men to become poets and artists.—Illinois Siren.
-Dennis Dante.
A Day Dream
Written especially for the Daily Kansas for one of the newspaper conference issues and omitted last week by mistake.
I wash I'd lived in Herrick's time,
when it was quite the thing
To weave sweet fancies into rhyme,
a maiden's charm to sing.
By Caroline Wells
When lovely damsels sat and smiled
Beneath a yonder tree;
Or plucked the consults growing velia
on meadow, field and leaf.
When ardent swains came strolling by.
And stiped and rolled their cys.
And the fair madness, and shy
lady that bore with surprise.
Surprise.
Those days were fond and fair, m thinks;
"None affected" out
there was no striding around
the links.
Ah, me, it would be passing sweet.
To some green grape to hic;
To lay wreathes at Corianda's feet,
Or sit around and sigh.
And motors were unknown.
To go a-maying in the spring
A-wooshing in the fall.
With daises pied—and everything-
I'm sure I'd love it all!
