UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN,
JANUARY.
Lawrence
The Daily Kanan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kansas; to go further than merely provide information on the course and faculty, but to no longer prefer no favorites; to be clear; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to take more serious precepts to piter water; in all, to serve to the best of its ability.

Listening for somebody to say "Whoa" has spoiled many a good horse and many a good man—Personality.
HUMORING THE CHILD
Manager Hamilton and the Athletic Board are to be commended for their tolerant stand in the Clinton Ross matter.
Other schools have severed athletic relations on less provocation than Nebraska has given Kansas this fall, but the attitude of the local management in humoring the patient now and putting him in a straight jacket next time is the only dignified way to handle the situation.
The statements Manager Hamilton has from other members of the Conference substantiating his claim that there was an unwritten agreement not to use Ross, show a lack of professional honor on the part of Nebraska that Kansas cannot afford to stoop to by severing relations as yet. Moreover, the willingness of Kansas to meet Nebraska under any circumstances shows considerably more than a come-half-way spirit. All in all the whole affair is an outrage upon the spirit of Missouri Valley football and smacks of professional muckering.
But perhaps there is something else in the willingness of Kansas to meet Nebraska this year than mere tolerance-toward-a-child acceptance of a slap in the face. Perhaps there is such an undreamed of thought in the minds of the Kansas management that Nebraska will be mightily humbled on McCook field November 15, no matter what the personnel of her team.
No doubt the Y. W. banquet was interesting in its own way to those there, but we are curious to know how two girls managed to feed the 400 present.
OUT AT LAST
At last it is out; the Student Council is under the faculty's thumb; the feeling long prevalent that the Student Council was but the tool of the faculty is finally verified.
According to last night's paper, President Dodd of the Student Council gently chides the upperclassmen involved in last Friday's padding-bee on the ground that they no longer have the right to perform such paddling since the Student Council did not give it to them. Control of such matters, he says, lies with the University Council.
The time for ridiculing the Student Council for allowing itself to be run over by the faculty is past; some constructive means toward giving the University some form of student government as independent as it is elsewhere is needed, and the Student Council, if it isn't proud enough to resign, should lead in such a movement.
Elsewhere student government has some liberty; why not here?
OUR SENTIMENTS
Why is a university—
If the student is coming here for an education in practical life, he has chosen the wrong taskmasters. Instead of monkeying around in the student, Conference, he should be learning politics in home primary; instead of running for prom chairmanship, he should be serving on the committee of the Charity Ball; instead of spoiling good plays by poor acting, he should be working to elevate poor plays by good acting; instead of fritterting his time away on the college daily, he had better be learning the real article from a crabbed city editor. Student activities are but the shadow; real life is the substance, and he who desires a practical education should seize upon the substance. There his education will progress economically, efficient, swiftly; here even the shadow is thinned by a division of loyalty. If you want real life, real business, then you must be educated in real life and real business, not in imitation life and imitation business.
Why, then, is a university? Why, if not to get the student away from the maddening crowd. When he is tumbled out of her doors, neck and heals, the world of business will pound all the "practical" education into him he will need. He may not lose his desire for study, but he will lose the strength, the time, the knack of studying. These four years are dedicated to the academe
A university ought to be impractical, and it ought to be proud of its impracticability.
Why all this? Well, as we see this student or that burrying his opportunity in so-called student activities, as we see him neglecting the library for the newspaper, and cutting quiz sections for a committee meeting, we sometimes wonder if he knows why he came to Wisconsin.
After all, these four years are the only four most of us will ever have for the things of spirit. Are Edwin Broth, The Wisconsin Magazine, the Student Conference, the White Spades and all the other poor adumbrations of reality, are they not rather insignificant along side of Money and Banking, English Survey and the History of the Renaissance? -Wisconsin Daily News.

Editor of the Kansan:
In a large measure we must hold the faculty responsible for cheating in this University. The instructor places so much emphasis on grades that the student soon comes to conclusion that he is here simply to make grades, and not for the primary purpose of obtaining knowledge. This is one reason why the so-called "snaps" are so much sought for. You get more for your money with much less effort.
less trouble.
The student fails to appreciate the importance of a subject in which he has won a well-deserved II when he can very easily make a I in another subject, even though it is not of such great value to him.
Too much stress is placed upon final examinations. Can not the instructor better judge the work of the student from day to day, rather than depend upon the final paper, for which hours of cramming work wonders? Even, the best student, who feels that his fate is suspended in the balance on that final day, is sorely tempted to glance at his neighbor's paper for one small clue which will put him on the right path. Grades are not a fair test by which to determine the progress of the student. It would be more satisfactory not to have any grades at all than our present widely different standards of grading.
Everlastingly.

THE HONOR SYSTEM
(Whenever the matter of cheating in University life comes up, the usual remedy at once suggested is the "honer system." Following is an exposition and history of such:)
The nature of the "honor system" which has been so much discussed recently in the schools of the United States may be revealed in the following resolution, which Judge Henry Tucker induced the faculty of the University of Virginia to adopt in 1847: Resolved, that in all written examinations for distinction or other honors of the University the candidate shall attach to the written answers presented by him on such an examination a certificate in the following words: "I;...
on a certificate, hereby certify on honor that I have derived to assistance during the time of this examination from any source whatever, whether oral, written or printed, in giving these answers."
What is probably the first institution of such a system was carried out in the University of South Carolina, in 1804. In that year the board of trustees decided as a basis of discipline that "the reward and punishment of this institution shall be addressed to the sense of duty, and the principles of honor and shame." Supplementing this was a students' court to try those against whom complaints were preferred. Before each examination president of the faculty addressing the students in the chapel, told them that the university was placing them on their honour, and that no surveillance would be resorted to.
Before the Civil war nearly every university in the South adopted the system in some form. After the Reconstruction period the scheme began to attract attention in northern schools until in the '90's it was taken up by Princeton, Amherst, Cornell, and Williams.
The dominance of athletics in many schools constitutes one of the most serious obstacles to a system. The jesuitic claim, so prominent in current athletics, that the end justifies the means is carried to the classroom from the field and there suppresses any scheme of trust that may have been worked out.
Those acquainted with the system claim that a student court, with an appeal to the president and a committee of the faculty, is essential to its success. Every student is bound by pledge to report to this court any knowledge he has of cheating in examinations. The chief objection to this is the principle, paradoxical to the system, that it is dishonorable for students to report any misconduct by a classmate. Often the students are fraternity brothers or the guilty one is prominent in athletics or personally popular. All these points tend to a mutual ignoring of the honor system.
It has also been found that a system is easier kept among upperclassmen than freshman for the reason that the older students have a definite view in mind while the freshman usually have not and that cheating is more prevalent in technical schools where the cost is very high. Here the desire to escape the expense of another year overcomes the sense of honor.
It has been found that the maintenance of any well defined unwritten law is comparatively easy in a small place whereas the ulterior attractions of the large city dwarf the importance of the student activities.

The library of the University of Minnesota has recently received six small stone tablets, which are said to be among the oldest books in the world. They are prayer books, and contain a reasonably accurate account of the of the life and customs of 4700 years ago. The tablets were dug from the ruins of Bishyra in Babylonia. They have been translated and given to the University by Prof. E. A. Banks of Harvard.
Prof. E. H. Griffith, of Cardiff, speaking before the British Association, declared that the greatest fault with the English school system was that it neglected character education. Of the American system he said: "I am delighted to see the great interest that the American school authorities are taking in the Boy Scout movement. The fact that the United States appreciates the value of the movement is indicated by the enormour enrollment there- 400,000, as against 200,000 in this country."
