Art is the application of knowl-
edge in a practical end—Sir John
Herschel.

Some campus politician will undoubtedly run for office on the platform of turning the Student Council into the commission form.
2523 STUDENTS—FOUR COURTS
2523 STUDENTS—FOUR COURTS Harvard has twenty-six tennis courts for use by students; the University of Missouri has an equal number; and the University of Kansas has-four.
Two of the four Kansas courts are located on the golf links, one just north of Manager Hamilton's home on Mississippi street, and one back of Rowland's bookstore.
There are 2523 students on Mt. Oread and it is probable that a majority would appreciate an opportunity to play tennis when the weather is suitable. Under present conditions it is seldom that one can find the courts unoccupied. Thus it is impossible to play without wasting much time, and with each wait interest slacks and soon dies.
Just east of McCook field is an excellent place for University tennis grounds, and at comparatively small expense twenty or thirty courts could be made.
Other colleges and universities have gone to great expense to provide athletic grounds. Kansas has the grounds and all that is needed is improvements.
We have it on good authority that two men moved to the Co-op club because they mistook it for a Co-ed club.
What will the cub who is writing the press stories for the Exposition do when he wears out all the letters in "exhibit," "show," and "display?"
WHERE ALL CAN HELP
To advertise the University Exposition is a man's job—in fact it is more than one man's job, and the officers of our miniature world's fair and the public committee are asking the aid of every student in the University in giving the facts to the people of Kansas.
A program folder has been printed and every one should help to distribute these. Send them to your friends. If you go home between now and the date of the Exposition take some of the big display posters with you. The publicity committee has also gotten out a large number of envelopes. Get a bunch of these and use them in writing to your friends. We must keep the proposition before the citizens of the state.
This is a work that can be carried
out with little trouble to any individual and yet it is one that will accomplish much if entered into by the twenty-five hundred students of the University.
An air compressor has been installed in the chemistry department. Hot air?
AN OBITUARY
Died, at a tender age, by the hand of a relentless University Council, on Thursday, March 27, the movement to exempt all seniors from the second semester final exams.
The infant had won many friends in its brief life, and received one vote when its fate was considered by the faculty. It was hopefully admired by the student body, approved by the W. S. G. A. and the Men's Student Council, and dearly beloved by all seniors whose grades averaged II or better. All these will sincerely mourn its untimely decease.
We say, not "rest in peace," but "try again next year."
DUTY
Great truths always remain the same.
Following are the closing sentences written by Robert E. Lee in a letter to his son while the latter was a student at West Point:
"Duty, then, is the sublimest word in our language. Do your duty in all things like the old Puritan. You cannot do more. You should never wish to do less. Never let me and your mother wear one grey hair for any lack of duty on your part."
ANOTHER ROOST
Schools of journalism, by all indications, are not only to prove successfully useful in preparing young men and young women to enter the profession with proper ideals, knowledge and equipment, but directly serviceable to those already conducting newspapers and printing offices. The addresses delivered before the students by eminent newspaper men, are no less valuable and inspiring to those already in these responsible callings than they are to novitates, and the same is true of the most of the text books that are being written and published by the teachers in these schools, but beyond all this the schools of journalism, as in Kansas, are being taken right to the newspaper and printing offices, and their difficulties be met and solved.—The Publisher's Guide.
WHO'S WHO AT K. U.
ERASMUS HAWORTH
Professor Erasmus Haworth was born on a farm near Indianola, Warren Co., Iowa, April 17, 1855. He was granted the degree of Bachelor of Science from the University of Kansas in 1881 and three years later the degree of Master of Science. In 1888 he received his Ph. D. from John Hopkins.
Economic geology has occupied much of Professor Haworth's energies recently and he has spent much time in locating Portland cement plants, Oakhoma, and Haworth. He has written 3 volumes, 3 and 8 and part of volume 5 of the Reports of the Kansas State Geological Survey.
Since 1883 Professor Haworth has been engaged in the teaching profession and since 1892 has been professor of geology and mineralogy in the University of Kansas. In 1894 he organized the Kansas State Geological Survey, and is now state geologist. He has been connected with the United States Geological Survey for years.
