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 be cheerful; to be kind; to be inventive; to be careful; to be serious problems to water heads; in all, to serve to the best of its ability the students of the University.
FRIDAY, APRIL 4, 1913.
The love principle is stronger than the force principle.—Hodge.
The cab men would probably feel quite resigned to fate should it storm this afternoon.
If art is the application of knowledge to a practical end, the undertaker is undoubtedly an artist.
Golf is in full swing again. There are also other disadvantages to spring.
THE SENIORS' OPPORTUNITY
The seniors are to meet early next week to take definite action on the question of memorials. For two or three months the idea has been before the members of the class and soon the student body will know whether the class of 1913 will take up the plan which at other schools has become a tradition.
Several plans, all worthy of consideration, have been presented and it is up to the seniors to adopt the best one—considering both the object to be attained and the student pocketbook. Whether the decision be in favor of the tower, the arch, the wall, or something else, a precedent will have been established which will be a strong factor in bringing future classes into line.
The Chancellor, the deans, and the professors all tell us of the value of memorials—their value as monuments on the campus and as means of bringing about a healthful college and class spirit. These men have seen the effects thus produced in many of the great universities of the United States. The University of Kansas should no longer lag behind in a matter which can so easily be corrected.
It is self evident that an Atchison editor who claims 65 hours as a record for piano playing never lived in Lawrence.
LET'S TUNE UP
Last year four hundred of the twenty-four hundred students on Mt. Oread attended the annual music festival held in Robinson gymnasium. We must conclude from these figures that five out of six University men and women either do not appreciate high class music, cannot afford the price of admission, or do not bluff by attending and thus making it appear that they enjoy
the best in music.
The Daily Kansan does not believe that such a small percentage of Kansas students can be given credit for possessing all the musical appreciation that exists at the University. On April 24 and 25 the festival will be given and at that time the best talent that can be obtained will appear in three concerts.
Sixteen percent is too small. Let's at least double it this year.
Twentieth annual suggestion to the Main Ginks: The Daily Kansan office is still unconnected with the outside world by a cement walk.
There is a grave suspicion that the football men are not reporting for spring practice as they should.
ACCURACY AND SUCCESS
ACCURACY AND SUCCESS
In answer to an inquiry from his business partner, a man wired, "No. Price too high," but left out the period. The message read, "No price too high."
The neglect wrecked his career.
One of the chief difficulties to be overcome by most people is the tendency to count little things as trivial. When a thing is almost right it usually is accomplished with the remark, "That is near enough." The student who gets his paper back with only one mistake is usually contended. He reasons that it is impossible to get everything correct.
Under the screen of impossible man hides his careless mistakes. He finds it easier to say impossible than to make the effort to be accurate. or he argues that the detail is not worth the added effort. The M student consoles himself by saying that an S or an E is more worthy of the added effort than accuracy, the details of the course. All he wants is a general knowledge. This is but an indication of failure to realize the value of accuracy.
There is no more essential qualification for success than accuracy. The person who is trained to specify precisely, adequately and accurately what he means when expressing an idea is not misunderstood. The difference is the ability to judge accurately—University Missouri.
The Rifle club is still shooting off.
Whenever you think that you are extremely busy, just remember the aerometer on top of Fraser.
UNIVERSITIES OF OTHER COUNTRIES
Oxford University, one of two principal universities of England, existed eight hundred years ago, for there are notices as early as 1117 of continental scholars lecturing at Oxford. More than 3,000 undergraduates are enrolled. Since 1880 women have shared in instruction but do not matriculate or take degrees.
Oxford is a confederation of colleges just as the United States is, in a sense, a confederation of states. Each college has its complete internal organization and laws but the University has separate officers and legislative bodies. The chancellor, usually some great nobleman or state officer, "reigns but does not govern."
The examinations are conducted and the degrees granted by the University and not by the colleges. Oxford has been noted for clinging to the traditional ideals of a classical education, but recently it has turned to a certain degree to mathematics and the sciences.
The vice-chancellor is the real administrative head of the institution. He is always the head of one of the colleges and is chosen for a four-year term. The disciplinary functions of the vice-chancellor lead two proctors—two masters of arts who are elected annually by the colleges in turn.
Each college has its head and a number of fellows and tutors. At matriculation each undergraduate is assigned to a tutor who is supposed to take a personal interest in his career as a student. The formal teaching is done thoroughly no recitations. Individual instruction is given by the college tutors. The student reads at his own discretion.
Most of the undergraduates devote the afternoon to some phase of athletics. In the evening the whole college assembles in the hall for dinner. Breakfast and lunch are taken in a man's own room.
It is success that colors all in life;
Success makes fools admired, makes
foolish.
OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
The Daily Kansan will publish in this space favorite verses of its readers. Contributions welcome—The Editor.
all the virtue of this vaunting world
Some freshmen seem to think it a disgrace to don the "freshie" caps, but I for myself do not take it that way. I consider it as a good joke and gladly await my time to see the freshmen of next year don them.
A FRESHMAN ON CAPS Editor Daily Kansan:
However, I noticed a piece of paper in the library which contained the following words:
This does not appeal to me as the proper spirit in any institution. I believe the attitude of upperclassmen should be in helping the first year men, as it is their hardest year.
"Boobs like you need no caps."
"Beans are covered with skin."
"Bii. the chicken livers done."
Fathers on success and power, however acquired. -Higgsons.
Probably you will remember the difficulties of your freshman year and call to mind what a discouragement it is to be "bossed around."

Class of '16.
THE SAD, SAD GRIND OF OUR COLLEGE LIFE
Dean James Woods Green was born at Cambridge, Washington county, New York, April 4, 1842. At the age of 24 he was granted the degree of Bachelor of Arts from Williams College and in 1890 he received the degree of Master of Arts from the same institution.
"UNCLE JIMMY"
In 1869 Dean Green was admitted to the bar and the next year began to practice law at Olathe, Kansas. He served as county attorney of Johnson and Douglas counties. Since November 1, 1878, he has been dean of the School of Law of the University of Kansas. In 1896-7 he was a member of the general council of the American Bar Association.
"There was a fight on in our study last night."
"Why two erarers got to rubbing it into each other in the waste basket."
She—What class are you in, Mr. Jones?
—Harvard Lampoon.
"What went on?"
Stude (who had just made third sub. on the wrestling team)—155 pound.
"He says he's willing to box any man in the world for $75."
-Punch Bowl.
The sickest thing on earth is a man whose bluff has been called.
—Punch Bowl.
"Where," asked the female sufrage ortor, "would man be today were it not for woman?"
She paused a moment and looked around the hall.
"That little shrimp: Who is he?
"The undertaker."
Mother (admonishing)—Don't let the men come too near you when courting.
—Tit-Bits.
"He'd be in the Garden of Eden answered a voice from the gallery.
.
"I repeat," she said, "where would man be today if not for woman?"
Daughter—Charles and I have a chair between us. —Judge.

HERE'S YOUR CHANCE
Noted Clothing Firm Offers Prizes
Ranging From $300 to $50 for
Best Economic Studies
The economic department of the University is in receipt of a prize offer from Hart, Shaffner and Marx. A first prize of $300 and a second of $200 are offered to the undergraduate students of all American colleges. The third prize is an economic field. Additional prizes of $1,000 and $500 are offered for the best studies presented by men not undergraduate students.
The subjects range from essays on education from an economic standpoint through studies about governmental privileges for monopoly, to the code of ethics peculiar to labor unions. There is almost any conceivable subject and the only restriction is that it have an economic relation. The articles of the prize winners will be published off the cover of the best issue on June 1, 1914. The length of the papers is set between 5,000 and 10,000 words. A committee of four professors from leading universities and a noted educator from New York City will judge the manuscripts.
The economic department of Kansas has attained an enviable degree of excellence and the students who are taking work in this department are urged to compete for prizes of this and like contests. The members of the faculty who instruct in economics strongly advise all who are interested in this subject to attempt this particular contest. An individual victory will not only bring credit to the writer but to his university as well. This is the tenth year for this prize offer.
Dean L. E. Sayre of the School of Pharmacy is in Rosedale today where he meets the class in materia medica. Dean Sayre meets this class every other week.
