The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals The University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to encourage others; to encourage others; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the best of its ability the students of the University.

Better be in shame now than at the day of judgment.—Mohammed.
Manager Hamilton says that handball is not a sport. That has always been our theory.
PROFESSOR HILL
Professor Hill's ability to see things from the student point of view made him popular both with the student in the class room and with the undergraduate body of the University as a whole. He was always ready to lend a hand to create enthusiasm at a football rally, and, as a friend of student organizations he showed his genial and sympathetic nature. At the same time he appreciated earnestness in regular school work--considering these other things as incidentals in a college education. To aid in making the School of Law efficient was his aim.
the death of Professor Henry C. Hill takes a man from the University of Kansas who in his three years on Mt. Oread won the esteem and respect of both students and faculty.
The University of Kansas, and especially the School of Law, has lost an earnest worker.
This mail order chess contest, thrilling though it be, is receiving poor support from the bleachers.
The most interesting part of the Prom was the spectacle of all the boys trying to look as though they wore full dress every evening of their lives.
FUSSING NEXT
Now that dances and most other student activities are properly regulated, the next subject for reform will be to have organized control of "fussing." That this phase of the student life has so long escaped the attention of the mighty is a constant source of wonder.
There are now some regulations, it is true, with regard to week night dates and the hour at which the caller shall say his last good night, but that is merely an entering wedge and does not begin to reach the root of the problem. The number of hours that may be devoted to daytime "fussing" is absolutely unregulated, and no rules are laid down to break up combinations in restraint of competition.
Other student activities come un
der the cognizance of the Eligibility committee, and eligibility requirements for those who desire to "fuss" would probably solve many of the mooted questions. It would at least provide an incentive to study for many who never will otherwise give a hang whether or no they stand well with that dreadful foe.
When the eligibility committee assumes control, permits, preferably pink, can be issued to all who are safely passed, and these permits can be worn as a badge of honor or an indication that all is well. A code will doubtless be devised that will save embarrassment to men in search of dates; and, save for some few unfortunates, the new order will be regarded as an unbleached good.
Applications for a job carrying water for the elephant at the Indoor Circus May 2 are about due.
We surmise that protruding ears will be rather noticeable from now on.
CLEANING UP
There are a few spots on the campus that could scarcely be called things of beauty and a joy forever. Two particularly noticeable spots to those who chance to stroll over to the south side of the hill, are around the heating plant and the repair shop. It would require an optimist of the first water to discern in their surroundings anything more than a blot on the landscape.
As a whole the campus is beautiful and every day adds to its beauty. Now that more adequate sidewalks have been provided, it is to be expected that some grass will be allowed to grow in the neighborhood of the thoroughfares and that the appearance of the grounds will be greatly improved in the most traveled regions.
The amount of money required to clean up the few eyesores that exist would not be great, and it would add greatly to the pride and satisfaction that students and faculty would feel in the possession of a well-kept campus.
SCORES "YALE TYPE"
The "Yale Type" of man was recently criticised editorially by the Yale Daily News as "splendidly null." The News says: "Plain people unaided by the supernatural without overpowering insight, often claim to perceive what they call the 'Yale type' over which gushing schoolgirls gently rave. Of this type there are hundreds with no more variation than the eggs of a hen. It is perfectly good, but it offensive in being utterly inoffensive. It never has heretic thoughts because it never thinks. It acquires and give forth ideas with all the precision of a parrot. And it has nearly the mental power of the original Yale bulldog. The most typical of the types are often solutions to complex intellectual intellect to posehate or sort tickets is positively required. But the greatest trouble with the 'Yale type' is not that it encourages "faultily" faultless, iically regular, splendid null mentality, but that it is perfectly satisfied with itself. It skins its few pages. It struggles for its little positions and its little fame. It worries itself into unhappiness. It absorbs the froth of knowledge and gains practically no mental power whatever. And many of this pseudo-Yale type are criticising the institution of Yale when they should be prayerfully improving or critiquing themselves."

and the eye sees life's fairy scenes depart.
When its wild passion-waves are built to rest.
As fades the day-beam in the rosy West.
And fondly would we bid them linger
Tis with a nameless feeling of regret, 'We气味 upon them as they melt
But Hope is round us with her angel-lay.
Hailing afar some happier moonlight hours
E. H. S. BAILEY

Wisdom is of many kinds: Natural, long-fibered, we call genius, the college kind is a factory made article, known as learning; common sense is hand made, and generally home made; and there is an imitation known on the street as "bluff", in society as "pretense", and in the Bible as "hypocrisy".-Life.
