FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1913.
When is man strong until he feels alone? —Browning.
Many a student declares that he knows it in spite of the fact that an examination has proved that he doesn't.
The Daily Kansan has said, "Kansas is a pioneer." Straightway the witty stude sends in his communication asking, "near what?"
THESE QUIZZZES
By the time that this issue of the Daily Kansan is in your hands, your quizzes will be over no doubt. There's the rub, however, we can't speak of quizzes with truth. They are never over.
All that we have to boast of is the fact that Quiz week will soon be but a memory. Quizzes will continue.
And right here we should like to remark that finals may be a relic of barbaric ages, but that the student who has been interested in his course throughout the semester has no fear of what the finals have in store for him. Attention to a course will give any student general knowledge enough to pass any quiz that a fair minded instructor will give.
Of course should the instructor be unfair and have no conception of how much work the student mind is capable of in a final, the case might be different; still an unfair person would flunk a student on account of class work as merrily as he would on account of a poor quiz paper.
And we believe that just as many students have raised their term grades by a final as have lowered their standard. At any rate it seems to the Daily Kansan that a student whose class work is a 1, and whose quiz grade is a 2, that that student ought to draw a 1 in the course. We believe this because of the fact that it is difficult to give a quiz that is an absolute test of the knowledge of any certain subject.
For the next semester try the remedy of doing half as much work each week of the semester as you do during final quiz week. We think the scheme will work.
It is our firm belief that the student who walked eight miles last Friday in order not to miss his eight o'clock class wanted a little free advertising.
STOP IT!
Don't continue your perusal of this dribble. Your quizzes are over for a time it is true but you are needed elsewhere.
The Jayhawker Basket-ball Team meets the strong team from Washington tonight in Robinson Gymnasium. Your presence and your lungs are wanted. We have wailed loudly and at length over the sphinx-like silence that has prevailed at basketball games in the past, and it does
seem that the quintette followers could muster a little more pep.
The Red and Blue team stands an excellent chance of carrying off the championship of the southern division of the conference and deserves your support. See that it gets it.
We object strenuously to this idea if matching the Girls' Debating Club with one of the Men's Clubs. Man's rights are few enough now.
We don't wish to give anyone the impression that we are possessed of any prophetic power, but we do believe that the library will suffer a big slump in number of students accommodated during the next two weeks.
NO PAPER MONDAY
Owing to the fact that Monday is the day for enrollment, there will be no issue of the Daily Kansan. The members of the editorial staff and the Kansan Board will meet their advisers and map out as near a snap course for the coming semester as the schedule of the University will allow. We have been stung on these snap courses before, but we are persistent.

OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
MUCH IN LITTLE
A little bin best fits a little bread,
A little garland fits a little head,
A small stuff best fits my小 shed.
A little hearth best fits a little fire,
A little chapel fits a little choir,
As my small bell best fits my little spire.
-Robert Herrick.
QUIZZES FORBID
Editor Daily Kansan:
Why do we hear no more concerning the proposed information bureau, or column of questions and answers that was suggested by you some time ago? I thought that by this time you would have the idea working overtime, but it seems that I am mistaken.
Are you afraid that you will be asked so very many things that the entire Kansan Board will not be able to answer them? Or have you lost your nerve because of the proximity of quiz week? It won't do to have the Daily Kansan look like a piker Give us the questionnaires I Want To Know
