Brightest and Best
Brightest and best of the sons of the morning.
Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid:
Star of the east, the horizon adorning,
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
Say, shall we yield Him, in costly devotion. Odors of Edom, and offerings divine. Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean. Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine?
Vainly we offer each ample oblation.
Vainly with gifts would His favor secure:
Richer by far is the heart's adoration;
Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.

CHRISTMAS DOES NOT CHANGE HERE AT K.U
Bishop Reginald Heber.
Professor Sterling Says All Students Are the Same at Holiday
"Christmas does not change much at K. U.," said Prof. M. W. Sterling of the department of Greek. "It still comes once a year and the students still rush home a little early no matter how much time we give them. I do not know that I blame them very much for getting restless; we professors are rather glad to get away for a little time too.
"We never have had any special Christmas exercises. I do not know why; I think it would be a good thing. Just before the vacation I have known the chancellor to read a few passages of Christmas scripture in chapel but that is about as far as we have gotten.
"I think there are very few students who stay here over the vacation. I do remember years ago when two boys walked down from the Solomon Valley in August to attend school here and they found home for Christmas, but I think such Christmas does not change much here; we have just the same old spirit that we always have had."
No Pay Checks Yet
The Christmas pay checks have not been received at the registrar's office, though they are expected at any time.
