TUESDAY, MARCH 11, 1913.
I believe in the resurrection of the memory, as well as of the body. I am a believer in the degree.
And now Registrar Foster is thinking of going to Pennsylvania. Pretty soon the faculty will be as small as the empty chairs at chapel would indicate.
A headline has it that "Schoolmasters Will Eat." After all this low salary talk we hardly believed it possible.
PLAY BALL
Every year several of the boarding clubs play baseball games with each other and these exhibitions of the national sport are wonderful to behold. They are great fun and good for the nerves after a one-thirty quiz. Why couldn't these clubs organize a league, schedule their games, and play for the championship of the University meat eaters.
Honestly now, do you really think that the fellows in a club up on Tennessee street or over on Indiana can play baseball a bit better than your bunch can? In fact don't you think that the men in your club would play the game about as well as any other similar group on the hill. That senior at the head of the table says he used to be the wonder of Blankville when he pitched on the high school team, and Jack ought to make a good base runner and—well, if you are interested here's the plan.
There is no real reason why this could not be done. We predict that the Athletic department would willingly donate the use of the University grounds, perhaps they would even throw in an old ball or two. The only things needed to make the plan a success are rivalry and enthusiasm.
Batter up!
As our budding head-writer would say, we are glad to note that P. D. T., a T. O., S. N., P. K. P., S. C., B. T. P., P. G. D., and S. A. E. will fight it out for the diamond championship.
CONFLICTING DATES
The greatest project ever undertaken through the combined efforts of students and faculty of the University of Kansas will culminate May 2 and 3, when our miniature world's fair will hold sway on the campus.
Each student should see to it that no outside attractions draw the attention of the students from the one big object, that of showing the people of the state and, incidently, ourselves just what the University is and what it is doing. Many visitors will be here and each student should consider it his duty to make them
feel at home and get the most possible out of their stay in Lawrence. In order to aid in this way parties, which are often given for individual gain only, should not be scheduled for those nights.
Let all selfish motives be set aside and let all work for the good of the institution—an object which can be accomplished merely by portraying the University as it actually
Somehow that story about the Thespian's aeroplane breaking a fin sounds kinda fishy.
It is a pity that that patent medicine proved a fraud. Deafness isn't so bad but we have heard head noises that we would willingly pay $10 to have stopped.
Prof. Sterling spoke this morning on "Early K. U. Finances." Who could more appropriately speak on the subject of silver?
WILSON AND THE COLLEGES Every friend to higher education will be glad of the opportunity that will be afforded Governor Wilson to take a stand in defense of the legitimate college of the country in his attitude toward the Gallinger Bill (Senate No. 8378) which will come up for action shortly after the inauguration. The purpose of the bill is, briefly, to stop and prevent "faking" in the matter of colleges and college degrees. The bill has special application to the so-called "colleges" of the District of Columbia but is applicable to a much wider range. It seems peculiarly fitting that Dr. Wilson will have a chance to act in this matter and his coeducators throughout the country look forward with interest to his action.
There can come a great deal of good from the apparently simple task of defining "college" and university" which the bill attempts. For too long the loose state of the law on the subject has allowed the public to be made the prey of men who could establish a "college," solicit funds, award degrees of more or less value and significance, and still not actually violate the law. For too long unsuspecting donors have been relieved of funds which they fondly believed were destined by their own actions, which really never accomplished the purpose for which they were given; for too long have apparently valuable degrees been awarded with no basis in scholarly achievement. The proposed action is not only a naive admission of the extent to which we are systematizing, and bringing under the modern commercial and practical standards of efficiency, higher education, but it is also a witness to the increasingly intimate relation between the colleges of the land and public life.—Harry Crimson.
THE CAMPUS AESOP
THE TWO DICTIONARIES
In the same Alcove of a Library dwell two dictionaries, a garrulous, cockside New one and a philosophical Old one. One night as soon as the lights faded out and the lock clicked, the eager Youth cried, "Have you noticed the two who study daily for six hours? That Poor Old Man is Stupid and Ignorant that he has to ask for My help every Ten Minutes. But the Redcheeked Girl in the White Cap and Swater is as Wise as she is Lovely, for she never needs me at all!"
The Old Dictionary laughed till his Back hurt him. "You are indeed a wise judge, my young Friend. That Girl is a Flunking Freshman, while your Foolish Old Man is the Finest Scholar in the University."
Moral: The wisest man is most Conscious of his Own Limitations.

FROM THE RUBAIYAT
And answer'd "I Myself am Heav'n and Hell."
Heaven but the Vision of Fulfill'd Desire,
And by and by my Soul return'd to me,
And Hell the Shadow from a Soul on fire.
Cast on the Darkness into which
Ourselves,
So late emerged from, shall so soon expire.
A MEMBER?
AND NOW A TOWER
Editor Daily Kansan:
It has been suggested that the Senior Class of 1913 build a rock fence as a memorial to their class and that each succeeding graduating class have the honor of sitting on it. As a senior in 1916 it would be a pleasure to me to have the honor of sitting on a stone wall built by the Class of '18, but it would be much better if the Class of 1916 and others had a fence. It would be impossible as well. Since it would be impossible to let each class add to the height, length or width of a fence, why not try another plan?
In 1892 at Dartmouth College a stone tower was strapped by the graduating class. Each succeeding graduating class was to add five feet more to the height leaving the class numerals at the top. On the inside a winding stairway is built. Ten steps lead up from the bottom. Why not start something that each succeeding graduation class can have a part in?

Editor Daily Kansan;
I had the honor to be elected this year to membership in Phi Beta Kappa.
As a member of the organization,
I keenly resent the way the Daily
Kansan characterizes the society as
"High-Brow P. B. K." I am sure
the writer of such headlines would
find that the members of the organiza-
tion are not all high-brows, if he
made an investigation. He should
remember that good grades do not
necessarily make "high-brows." A
parrot could make enough high
grades at K. U. to make Phi Beta
Kappa, which bases its selections on
high grades only.

High-brow, as I understand the word, implies intellectuality.

RENO DID NOT WIN
BOY'S CHAMPIONSHIP
Apr. 4 Junior From.
Apr. 12 French play
Under date of March 5 I notice that Reno County won both the boys' and girls' championship in the Interscholastic tournament K. U. held last year and we wish to thank you very much for the information. You know we have always wondered who won that big cup last year and how it happened to be in B. H. S. with the indictment "won by Baldwin High School." Now it turns out that it is all a mistake and that the Reno county possession of their hearts they kindly turned it over to the Baldwin boys and allowed them to take it home with them. We certainly owe you a generous vote of thanks for discovering who did win the cup and letting the great state of Kansas know.
