Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, Lawrence.
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kansas; to go further than merely print the news by standing for the ideals the University holds; to play no favorites; to be charitable; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to veer heads; in all, to serve to the best of its ability the students of the University.
FRIDAY, MAY 16, 1913.
The worst kind of vice is advice— Coleridge.
The Umpty-Umps club will solve the grave problem of what to do with our ex-presidents.
OUR TIGER GUESTS
Tomorrow the University will act as host to a number of men whose fame has preceded them to Mt. Oread. They are not men noted as statesmen, judges, politicians, business men, or educators but they are men renowned as athletes of the track and field species from the University of Missouri. They have trained this year and other years, and invade Kansas tomorrow to compete with our Jayhawkers.
Missouri will show us her best and to return the compliment Patterson and his men will do likewise. In order to aid our men in putting forth their best efforts every loyal student should be there to see the first dash and remain until the relay has been run. The cheer leader is to be of hand and from all appearance there will be no lack of "pep."
Kansans are naturally hospitable and for months have been preparing a suitable reception for our friends from Missouri. The first event on the official program will be a few words to the athletes and then a pistol shot which will start four sprinteres on the one hundred yard dash after the first eight points to be awarded. And then the fun will continue for a couple of hours.

- In paying off class debts by dances, the sophomores' motto is, "If at first you don't succeed—"
Well, the Student Day speeches might have been worse.
THOSE LITTLE CAPS
Many students would regret to think that the "scrap" Wednesday night between the sophomores and freshmen represented the calibre of the University students. There is nothing particularly glorious or heroic in some fifty freshmen banding together to paddle the president of another class, nor in that other class repulsing the attack. The whole affair savors more of the high school than of the University.
The freshmen were the aggressors and little sympathy will be wasted on them. With only a few more days to wear their little blue caps a revolt was ill-timed, and most members of the class are not in accord with the insurrectionists. The freshmen had been gloring in their violation of the Council rule, and the severities of the past few days were necessary to bring forth from their dusty hiding places the little blue caps. It has been gratifying to see the sudden increase in the number of freshmen the past week.
The roughness which characterized the affair can not be condemned too strongly, and the Student Council should investigate 'the matter thoroughly, and punish any intentional injury.
The best way to regard the whole affair is as a joke—a joke on both sophomores and freshmen—and forget it as soon as possible. It was entered into, doubtless, by both sides in that spirit, and the student, freshman or sophomore, who now cherishes any bitter feeling should be—paddled.
It is comforting news that the Daily Kansan will again have a little brother at the summer session—even though he is too well developed to wear cast-off clothes.
WHY SOME FLUNK
That "in a college community there are different strata of intellectual ability and that academic work is a standard for measuring the differences" are the conclusions drawn from the statistics compiled by the Student Council in its investigations as to how all classes of students make use of their time. It has been found that B men and C men on an average spend but little less time each day upon their studies than A men, and therefore it can not be urged that most men do not choose to devote the necessary amount of time to study. Of course there are exceptions; many men indulge in extensive intellectual work outside of their courses. But considering men whose interests are normally distributed, and measuring their efficiency by the amount of work they accomplish in an allotted time, the superiority of the best scholars is evidently due in most cases to superior inherent, intellectual ability.
Granted that to a large extent in intellectual ability is dependent upon natural alertness and sensitivity to intellectual stimuli, we believe that this superiority in any individual is to be explained in his attitude toward such work. A college man with a good mind may turn his energy to other things; he may become efficient and productive in other ways, yet remain intellectually sterile. The greatest danger of American college life is the undue importance students harms to be won apart from studies. In concentration laws the secret of success and for concentration genuine intellectual interest amounting to enthusiasm is requisite. The versatile man who is attracted by everything, in an American college, runs a perilous risk of becoming a social dilatante, a high-grade inefficient—Harvard Crimean

A Grave Question

She—What do you think of the triangle show?
The bill collector, now and then,
is apt to get the best of men.

OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
MAN'S PILGRIMAGE
Man's is a weary pilgrimage,
As through this world he wends;
In every age, from stage to stage,
Still discontent attends.
With weariness he casts his eye
Upon the road before,
And still remembers with a sigh
"The days that are no more"

Editor Daily Kansan:
A BOOST
I have noticed in every communication that Can Squires "wants eighty-five dollars," or "demands eighty-five dollars," for the picture. One letter went so far as to say that he should give the picture to the University.
this picture was made, as I understand it, for Mr. Squires' studio, and was not made with any intention of being sold. He lent it to the University for use in the Exhibition, and during the Exhibition, a number of loyal Jayhawkers decided that it would be a nice thing to have the picture on the hill permanently. They went to Mr. Squires and asked if he would sell it, and were told that they could get it for eighty-five dollars. Mr. Squires made no demand—the demand came from the students themselves. As to giving the picture to the University, no reasonable man would expect Mr. Squires to do that, even though he does get most of the student trade. No man should "kick" on giving five cents towards such a picture.
A. G. D.
ANOTHER OBJECTION
The money for the purchase of the picture of "Tommy" Johnson_from Con Squires, photographer, continues to be collected, and the students still ask why. Con doesn't make the University a present of it, and some of them wonder if $85 isn't just a trifle too high.
Down at Rowland's there are some photographic enlargements of University scenes that cost but $10, and they are almost as big as the picture of "Tommy." I heard a student who is familiar with enlargement work remark that he ventured the opinion that the picture of "Tommy" didn't cost Con over $30 at the most, but I wouldn't vouch for the value of the opinion.
I'll be Chief Justice of the United States.

PAIN
In football, baseball, basket-ball,
Debate and indoor track
We've whipped that "Show me"

Till his hide is blue and black.
But Saturday we'll hear once more
That low and mournful note
In outdoor track we'll prove again
We've got Missouri goat.
