THE FORTUNE HUNTER The Hawk' Club will give its play The Fortune Hunter, tomorrow night The performers deserve a crowd because the cast is made up of individual stars and because of the hard work that the club members have done in order to give the University this entertainment. The Hawk Cub is a fledgling, and whether it shall live and prosper or whether it shall drop away depends largely upon the attendance and success of its initial performance. NATURE IS GOOD The toilsome ascent of Mount Oread is worth while when one stops at the top for a look at the surrounding country. North, south, east, or west, the view is one that is seldom surpassed. No matter which way he faces an observer feels like he is standing on the rim of a vast bowl of nature, twenty miles across, enjoying a sight of the many good things inside. TO ARMS! At all seasons of the year and under any weather conditions the trees, the rivers, the hills and the fields make our far-famed view unfailingly delightful. Great Circular Hoopsnakes! Shades of the Holy Salted Mackerels! The traditions of our forefathers are gradually being undermined! Scandal is rife at K. U! Arise ye defenders of the Constitution! Awakeye sleeping watchdogs of the mighty Rules and most efficient Regulations! Will the Law be maintained? Will Good Government survive? Will Morality, Right Living and Deceney be trampled in the dust by the onlankights of Vice, Evil and Corruption? YESTERDAY NINETEEN EDITORS—KANSAS AND OTHERWISE—WERE SEEN SMOKING, ACTUALLY PUFFING, INSIDE THE BUILDINGS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS. These actions are direct and flagrant violations of recent rulings by the Board of Administration and the Men's Student Council. Lend us your ears, you readers. Bend low that you may catch every whisper of this glaring iniquity. Listen! With full faith that law and order will eventually prevail, and that mercied punishment will be dealt out with a stern hand in this Hour of Need, the Daily Kansan fearlessly and courageously calls attention to the greatest crime that has disgraced this community since the ignoble raid of Quantrell, the Missouri ruffian. FAIRY TALES ANDERSON MISSED "No. Mr. Editor, we do not care about having our names published in the home papers." "Wish we members of the K. N. G would get a chance to go to Mexico." "Professor, I was sick over Sunday and could not prepare that paper." "I don't care anything for her any way." "Father, I wish you lived in Law recess." "I read quite extensively in the Atlantic Monthly." "lawrence is going to improve her water system." Extracts From K. U. Congressional Record The Senate met at 1:30 o'clock p. m. The Senate met at 4:30 o'clock p.m. The Secretary proceeded to read the Journal of yesteryear briefings of the senator and the Senator Sterli- and by unanimous consent, the further reading was disposed with, and the Journal was approved. The Vice-President laid before the Senate a communication from the Heads of the Department of Chemistry transmitting an account of the disappearance of a quantity of platinum from the qualitative analysis laboratories of the Chemistry Building. Senator BAMLEY: This platinum was made up into utensils for use in the delicate test work in the qualitative analysis work, and was valued at about three hundred dollars. Senator STERLING: I should like to inquire of the Senator from the Department of Chemistry on whom the loss of the valuable utensils will fail? Senator BALLEY: The fall, whil will be considerable, since platinum is so high (laughter), will be upon the three or four students to whom the material was checked out. Senator ENGHE: Am I to infer from the remarks of the Senator from the Department of Chemistry that three students will be held responsible for one hundred dollars each? Does the Senator really believe that there are three students in the school who could serape up even one hundred dollars between them? Senator HUMBLE. The students, I am afraid, would take advantage of the bankruptcy law. It seems to me that the only workable plan would be to attach the personal effects of those who are responsible, and deduct the remainder from their laboratory coupon books. But even that might not be optimal. THE VICE PRESIDENT; (if there is no objection the matter will be referred for solution to the Committee on the Blessing of Innocent Turnips. (After a pause) The chair hears no objection and orders the matter so disposed of. The four o'clock p.m. having arrived, the Senate was adjourned since die.

AN ANNOUNCEMENT CYRUS MASTICATES It is easy to see that Kanaas gave women the vote too early in the game. In the East suffragists are using as a slogan, "One kiss, one vote." At 7:30 the A. M. I woke up with a shock; And hunger gnawed my inards so I rose at 8:00 o'clock. —Cyrus Wordsworth Byron. Prof. in Physiology: "What do you think of the Hering theory of color blindness?" (The Nation, published at New York, recently asked a number of presidents of state universities to say how the imagination of their student fares under the modern world which has made practical problems of present day life. The answer of Chancellor Strong, in part,供求:) Stude: "Sounds fishy to me." IMAGINATION IN COLLEGE Whether the present work of colleges and universities quickens the student's imagination less than the work of the college of former times is doubtful. It depends much on how restricted a meaning we give to the word imagination. If we mean imagination in general and not merely the higher form of this power exercised in poetry and art, I do not be- In the North, where leagues of forest sag beneath the plumy snow, I've worked with turching-shouldered lumbermen; EXPERIENCES (By Harry Kemp) I've seen the small, gray fishing feets beat out with lifting bow Toward the foggy coasts of Labora- dor again; I've plucked the purple, swollen grape beside the Great Lake And gathered pungent hops from And gathered pungent hops from off the vine; I have watched the water swirling in a creeal ore-boats wake, Laden down with dusty riches from above; on the vine; I have watched the water swirling I've seen the mud steer plunge and fall beneath the sledge's stroke.

In the old institution the curriculum was required, and every one was compelled to conform to the same standards. We were not mistaken, in mind of itself had a very repressing effect upon an appreciable number of students in every college. Furthermore, the number attending college was, comparatively speaking, very small. Nor, again, can I see that the teaching, with some exceptions, was more efficient than the present time. In fact, much of it was not匠orous dull and dispiriting. I recall only a few great teachers. The subjects studied did not lend themselves more than does the present group of subjects to the stirring of the imagination. The Latin and Greek of that day were depended upon largely for imaginative development, but the methods of study and teaching were such as make slavish the mind the words and press the rule. The great increase in the study of French and German has, at least in part, made up for the decline of Greek and Latin. Philosophy was another subject that one might recall as having in the old days some effect upon the imagination; and indeed it had, especially if it were taught by a real teacher, but here instead the advice the course of studies provided the courses in philosophy as given nowadays, supported by courses in psychology and biology, are fully as inspiring in every respect as the courses of twenty-five years ago. In English there is a distinct gain over the past, since in the old days very little appeared in the courses of study under the title "English." But the courses in imagination come often into play in small and often uninterested doses. The numerous courses of history make the teaching of history make the present ahead of the past. In science the contrast is very greatly in favor of the present. There was very little science taught in these thirty-five years ago, very little laboratory work, at least in American colleges. There was no call upon the education. Nowadays a student can do nothing in science without the use of his imagination, nor can he in mathematics. Economics has developed in large measures within the last three decades. Sociology was hardly heard two or three years ago. Of these subjects encourage the exercise of the imagining. In the professions we find somewhat the same situation. In engineering and medicine there can be no constructive work of any sort without the use of the imagination. Therefore, in general, so far as subject-matter, the quality of teaching, and the general equipment and situations are concerned, the character of the students now is on the whole superior to that of the past, and ought, other things being equal, to arouse the imagination more than was possible in past decades.
