A big party from the University is to take a trip to Puget Sound Which professor is it?
HURRYING HOME
It has been said many times but will bear one more reption: Stay for commencement.
In hurrying home as soon as you have finished your last examination you miss the best week of the school year. Commencement festivities must have been designed originally to remove the unpleasant state of mind caused by a week of examinations, but the average student fails to benefit.
And, besides, you need to know the proper method of behaviour when it comes your turn to march in the procession.
With no classes to attend, and no lessons to disturb your peace of mind, you should spend a very happy week on Mount Oread. The old graduates will come back, the seniors will parade around in cap and gown, and there will be enough diversion to keep you pleasantly occupied.
It is hard to be frivolous in the face of examinations.
Registrar Foster expects one thousand freshmen next fall. Which means that the paddling committee of the sophomore class will be extremely busy.
ANNUAL AND MEMORIAL
The seniors have but a few days in which to wind up the affairs of the class. Some class obligations have not yet been met, among which the Jayhawker deficit takes first place, and the funds for the class memorial adopted some time ago have not been secured.
The proposal of the committee that each senior should purchase one additional Jayhawker, and thus put enough money in the treasury to pay off the obligations, should meet with a favorable response from the class. It would cost each one but little, for the seniors would have a chance to dispose of their books, and it would enable the class to finish their career with no stigma.
It will be a disgrace if the class leaves the University without meeting their just obligations. The annual is a class enterprise, the class is given credit for its publication, and the class—each member of it—should feel a sense of personal responsibility. Two members of the class should not be allowed to shoulder the entire burden.
The class of 1913 is the first to plan a class memorial, and a very appropriate memorial in the form of an arch was adopted. It will reflect
utte credit to them if they lack sufficient class and school spirit to leave behind them some token of their appreciation of the benefits they have received on Mount Orad.
It is up to the individual members of the class. To you, Miss Senior, and to you, Mr. Senior. Have you met your share of the burden?
It is generally considered impolite to borrow a notebook and fail then to return it until the professor has defined to receive any more notebooks.
Those who have grievances against the editors of the paper last week will be furnished the names of the guilty parties upon application to this office.
ACQUIRING "A" GRADES
An "A" grade may or may not indicate the true ability of the student who receives the grade. The man who leaves the class room to bury himself in his books and refuses to become affiliated with any student movement has not received sufficient training to be an "A" man, although the class register book gives him an "A" standing. The grind who has no ambition but the attainment of the coveted "A" deserves no consideration. He is not a true student and cannot be ranked among his classmates. When a man spends every spare minute of his time with his books to acquire an "A" degree is either lacking in natural ability or he is extremely self centered. In college, he is neither of any benefit to his fellow students nor to himself. He is missing a large part of his education for the sake of receiving an imaginary honor. There is not a man in the university who could not attain an "A" grade in the majority of his classes if he would but consciently devote all his time outside of the classroom to his books, but what would his achievements amount to? By so doing, he has deprived himself of the association with his fellow beings.
"The A" grade should represent the ability to think, to acquire and to impart new theories. It should represent alertness, and the ability to successfully maintain a high standing in some line of student activity Whether or not a student is engaged in work outside the curriculum should influence the professor in grading the student's work. -Purdue Exponent.
My thoughts are bound within a cell of fame.
MY THOUGHTS.
I have not eye nor which strays beyond;
The overseer. Time, threats and will not spare,
not spare, not spare. I demand
not spare,
And I of life and liberty despond.
Now to my soul a vision is arrayed; Far trees are shivered by a gentle breeze;
The blessed moonlight gleameth through their shade,
And hearts there wander forth that are of ease.
THE SOLDIER TIRED OF WAR'S LARDS
A want of individuality is the most dangerous sign in modern civilization.—Mill.

OF WISE OLD BOYS
Thou passing world, it well was said of thee,
A time to sow and reap is in thy deity.

I like to see a young man have a good opinion of himself. It is like a florid style—he will soon get over it. McClintock.
If a man has not such control of his feelings as to make his feelings control his will, then he is but half educated. —Ruskin.
Stratagens in war and love are only honorable when successful.— Bulwer.
It is remarkable with what Christian fortitude and resignation we canear the suffering of other folks.—
-E. S. H.
The soldier tired of war's alarms
Forswears the clang of hostile arms,
And scorns the spear and shield;
But if the brazen trumpet sound,
He burns with conquest to be crowned,
And dares again the field.
-Aanon.
FAITH.
Better trust all, and be deceived,
And weep that trust and that deceiving,
Than doubt one heart that, if believed,
Had blessed one's life with true believing.
Oh, in this mocking world, too fast
The doubling fiend o'ertakes our youth!
Better be cheated to the last
Than lose the blessed hope of truth.
Mrs. Kemble
—Mrs. Kemble.
Students are invited to express their views through this column. The name of the writer must be signed, not necessarily for publication, but as an indication of good faith.
Some sort of a get-together meeting for the senior men has been suggested several times. It has been proposed that the men hold a barbecue or smoker some time during commencement week. I heartily endorse this proposal and am wondering what has become of the idea? I have heard you briefly admit that we seniors do not have a great deal of pep, but it looks as though we should have enough spirit to put this through.
