Said a woman to Dr. Johnson: "How did you happen to make such a difference that word?" "Ignorance, madam, pure ignorance, was the reply—Boswell." The new fraturity would save money by making rice a staple article of diet. AN ANNOUNCEMENT Are you superstitious? Take a look at the sunshine record on Ground Hog day this year. The Daily Kansan reporter who took advantage of the confidence reposed in him as a University student and as a reporter to write an objectionable story which inadvertently was published, has been discharged from all connection with the Daily Kansan. As a matter of University discipline, the student committee will act on his case. Until the student committee reaches its decision Chancellor Strong has suspended the offender from the University. In justice to the reporter it ought to be said that his action was not inspired by malice or viciousness, but was due to a mistaken sense of the proprieties. We feel that this information is due our readers and the other members of the Daily Kansan staff. Editor RICHARD GARDNER. New parcels post advantage—A young man from Western Kansas finds it cheaper to have his meals sent by parcels post than to board at a club. "Fellow Leave For East on Copper Problem" says a headline. Could it be the same one that has been bothering New York? COLLEGE SPIRIT A college man lacking in college spirit is a college man in name only. His school means no more to him than if he did not attend it. College spirit is what makes a great University. More numbers count for very little. The claim has been put forth that there is more real college spirit in small schools than in the large ones. Owing to smaller numbers the students there are more generally interested in current school happenings, so this may, in a measure, be true. It is possible for a man to allow himself to become lost in the mazes of University life. Some men go through their four years with their Alma Mater apparently meaning absolutely nothing to them. A few such men have doubtless gone through this University. A few are here now. Kansas has no place for these men. You are as much a part of this University as any one else. If you reason that the school can get along without your support you are not a true son of Kansas. To show college spirit it is not necessary to belong to every organization on the hill. It is not necessary to be known as a great athlete or honor student. Real college spirit needs no explanation. If you are a real college man, show your spirit, and be able to say with pride some day that you added your mite to the force that moves Kansas University along. Kansas had a skyscraper in 1650. But we still contend that Ingalls' goose that "harrowed the blue fields of heaven" was the original one. A LIBRARY TRAGEDY He reposed quietly upon the Library steps. The night was dark and somewhat drear. A cigar gloved f叒fily between his mollars but the young man patiently waited. Suddenly the door was flung violently open—almost from its hinges. A woman's voice cut the 9:30 air. She whispered, "Young man, you'll have to stop smoking on the library steps for it is disturbing the inmates." The young man got up from the library steps and wandered over toward the lamp post. There he patiently waited. For his girl. Wish Professor Rogers would explain why it is that we do not have a desire to study when we see some one else doing so.

The Sigma Chis had some disagreeable experience running around this cold weather to hunt up furniture for their party Friday night. Pat Murray is taking Peruma now. His testimonial praising it as an invaluable nerve tonic together with his picture will soon appear in the leading newspapers. Since Pat is editor of the '03 Jayahawk his testimonial ought to have considerable influence among the pen pushers.

Murray, Helen Clark, Isabela Hazen, Clara Klamman, Ida McNight, Ellen A. Nowlin, Nadine Nowlin, Miriam Palmer, Grace Quartemar, Helen Stafford, Helen Williams, and Lee Braxton. WHO'S WHO AT K. U. Chancellor Frank Strong was born at Venice, N. Y., August 5, 1859. When a boy the chancellor's favorite pastime was history. While yet in high school he decided to become a historian. At 21 he entered Yale graduation with an A. B. in 1884. For six years the chancellor taught history at Yale. He came west in 1890 to accept a position as superintendent of the St. Joseph schools. He also held a similar position in Lincoln, Nebr. Chancellor Strong then returned to Yale and took A. M. and Ph. D. degrees. For three years the chancellor was a history lecturer at his alma mater. In 1890 he received from the University of Oregon to become a professor when he accepted the chancellorship of the University of Kansas, succeeding Chancellor Snow who died ten years ago. Chancellor Strong ranks high among the historian-authors of America. He has written, "The Life of Benjamin Franklin," "A Forgotten Danger of the New England Colonies," and "The Government of the American People." Dr.-Strong is also a voluminous contributor to magazines. The Daily Kansan will publish in this space favorite verses of its readers. Contributions welcome—The Editor. OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE le strung to city gates and castle towers, till their spirit awakens shred they never fail who die in a great cause; the block may they are sure to pore; their heads may sodden in the sun; their limb. tough years Elaphe and others share as dark a doom.

In your last night's edition you quote as, Old friends in verse, four lines from Burn's Tam O'Shanter, as follows: Pleasures are like poppies spread: We nip the flower—the bloom is dead: Editor Daily Kansan : dead; Or like the snowflake on the river— In the edition which I possess of Burns, the publication of Thomas Nelson and Sons, London, Edinburgh and New York, 1902, and edited by Lord Roseberry, the quotation is as follows: —Byron. A moment white, then gone forever. Good water is one of the best insurance policies a family car carry, But pleasures are like poppies spread— You seize the flower, its bloom is shed: Something Doing at Our Sister Colleges Dean Crumbine Burns. Or like the snow falls in the river, A moment white—then melts forever; The idea of philosophy is Truth; the idea of religion is Life—Pete Bayne. Is it not almost exceeding the speed limit to claim this as a favorite and not to know it more correctly, or does the individual consider it as an old friend because the eight mistakes are all his own composition? Yours for Enouirv A Lover of Burns. But the Janitor Was All Broken University of Michigan: Michigan's Juniop Hop has been abolished. Just one week from the night that the big social function at Michigan was held the University senate passed a resolution which abolished the dance. A riotous attempt to force an entrance to the dance this year was the chief cause for the action of the university senate. University of Michigan: Dr. W. J. Bien, dropped from the position of interne at the homeopathic hospital for participation in the J. hop disturbance has returned to Ann Harbor and says that he can prove his innocence. He says that he did not break down the door to the dance hall, but does not deny that his first did damage to the janitor's face. No Prom for Them. Up Over It. Says THE OREAD ORACLE Having read considerable about Phi Beta Kappa the past week would like to ask what the name means. Dear Miss Oracle. Oracle was obliged to burn the midnight tungsten in order to discover the secret of the letters, but finally discovered that they stand for an ancient Greek maxim of which the most satisfactory translation is, Perpetual Burging Connets. We are again in much trouble and want to know what to do. Last Sunday we had chicken for dinner and we were careful to save the bones for the dog of one of the chapter's best masculine friends. On searching for them next morning we were unable to find them. This has happened before and we wish to know the name of the guilty party. Freshman. You Dear Oracle, K. K. G. Oracle is always glad to help her sisters out of the difficulties that beset them. Investigating she found that the bones were made into soup for the Alpha Nu chapter of Beta Theta Pi for dinner next day and consequently can not be recovered. My advice is that all stray victuals and scraps should be locked up securely now that you have moved into the new neighborhood. I feel sorry for the poor dog. For the Oracle: Here is a problem that came up in chapel last week. I cannot sing very well, having had no training, but attempted to do my best during the hymns. I noticed two girls sitting in front of me laughing and from a remark I overheard I learned that they were laughing at my voice. Now I was wondering if I should stop singing the anthems altogether, or if I should continue even though I cannot accomplish much in a musical way. Can you help me? The devil cannot stand music— Luther. A. L. B., Engineer. Oracle suspects that your communication is not "bona fide. No engineer ever goes to chapel except for a football rally or when the girl's glee club sings. Neither of these events has occurred for some time. I fear that you are really a law and have tried to conceal your identity under a false title. OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF WISE OLD BOYS The exhibition of vice makes men vicious.—Dr. J. Edwards. Feeling is the exponent of condition —Dr. J. Edwards. Man is the glory, jest and riddle of the world—Pope. Logic is a close and compendious eloquence. — Megoon. Malice has a keen scent for blem isches.-Punshon. Love depends on the loving, not on the loved!—Bulwer. --when soul sweeps the future like glass, And coming things fall-freighted Love me as well as you can— Johnson to Boswell. There are no footprints backward! -Hampden's motto. There are points from which we can command our life, When the soul sweeps the future like a glass; All come in things, full-freighted with the offe- ut. Jut out the offeat on the offe of the Jut out dark on the offing of the mind. Let them come! Many will go down in sight; 'n the billows' jovious dash of death, go down—Shelley.
