Everyone can master a grief but he that has it.—Shakespeare.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
The action of the sophomore and freshman classes taken yesterday in regard to the senior memorials, is the foundation of a precedent that should be followed by all classes. Few realize the true value of such memorials until they are out of school. The old grads who come back after a few years in the cold world find nothing to welcome them. If they could catch sight of some memorial erected by their own class wouldn't they feel more at home?
Memorials need not bear any resemblance to monuments or tombstones. There are useful memorials as well as ornamental. The seniors last year at K. S. A. C. left a string of ornamental campus lamps costing $600.
DO YOU KNOW
The University is undoubtedly doing the best it can to supply drinkers with a pure brand of water. And what they are giving us is far ahead of the gravity that used to flow through the fountains. But we suspect that Dr. Crumbine would make a wry face if he could see the wet stuff coming up in open barrels and being carried into the buildings in buckets by more or less cleanly bejumped janitors. It quenches thirst all right, but everybody will be "willing" when the city mains of Lawrence get ready to furnish something that is really above reproach.
That Peruna does not come from Peru?
That it is hot in Chili?
That all the nuts in the world do not come from Brazil?
That the people of Lima do not grow beans?
That Argentine Republic is not on the Santa Fe?
That Uraguay is not pronounced You're a guy?
That guinea pigs do not come from Guinea?
The first symptom of feminine control in the Kansan office yesterday was the presence of the editor's muff in the copy besket.
OPPOSITES NO LONGER?
Scientists tell us that men and women are more alike than they used to be. Women weigh more than formerly, eat more, think more. They have larger feet and a better understanding. In short, they are more like men. Any observer at the University may notice proofs of this
tendency. He may at a little distance be unable to tell which is Jack and which is Jill, for each wears a knitted cap and a long woolly coat. Or perhaps both have on fur caps and mackinaws. She is just as apt to wear a frat pin as he is. To be sure, he never wears a necktie around his head or tangles his eyebrows and his pompadour, and she doesn't wear any nose-warmer, but there are many points of likeness,—even the woman's Daily Kansan was much like the male edition.
Many a club reporter thinks he is a bear at writing up a news story.
RECENT POPULAR REMARK "Well, I believe that I'll slip down to Lee's and get a bite to eat." Oh, I. C.
When one man loses by the misbehaviour of a faulty pair of scales another man gains the same amount. Why all this fuss about the state's losing millions in this manner. The state simply experiences a harmless transfer of cash from one pocket to the other. Perhaps, after all though, it is natural that the pockets should feel some suspicion of each other. That is why the department of weights and measures is so necessary an agency for establishing peace and equity among the pockets.—And it is kept fairly busy.
The Varsity, the undergraduate newspaper of the University of Toronto sends greetings to the Daily Kansan upon its first anniversary as follows:
"The Varsity takes pleasure in extending to one of the most valued of his exchanges the customary of him, the courtesay. May the 'Jayhawks' ever thrive."
We thank you, our Canadian friend. The same to you.

MR. WELL WISHER! If you rise to make any such remarks again, we will take one of those petrified stumps and crack your bean. Have some consideration for the English language.
We would suggest that one of the retiring senior classes plant their class poem about six feet deep the day before it is read. Put a stone on it if you want to, but we are of the opinion that it will stay put.
And when Doc Naimish teaches 'em all how to skin that cat, we will respectfully request that they get some practical experience by killing and skimming the one that sings so feelingly beneath our window.
We are glad to note that we will have both coaches this year. We had begun to fear that we would not have any.
Strange weather this, to talk of slicing melons.
In regard to sciatic rheumatism and lumbago, however, we rise to remark that in all our musical experience we have never witnessed such an appropriate rendition of "Cafeteria Rushthecana."
We note by the latest market report that the price of whalebone has gone up. Strange. We understood that they had quit wearing them.
We note that Felice Lyne, the grand opera singer originated, or at least came from, Columbia, Mo. We'll believe anything now.

OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
The Daily Kansan will publish in this space favorite verses of its reader. Contributions welcome—The Editor.
And day's at the morn—
The year's at the spring
Morning at seven
The hillside's dew-pearled;
The lark's on the wing;
The snail's on the thorn;
God's in his heaven.
All's right with the world,
Robert Browning.
Men who were boys in Kansas thirty, twenty and even ten years ago but have followed fortune to other parts of the country will, we think, rub their eyes in amazement and repeat William Allen White's famous question when they read in Kansas newspapers such comments as these on the state university's request for appropriations commensurate with the demands upon it and the wealth of Kansas:
The University is asking appropriations aggregating 2 million dollars. This will be all money the university no longer gives in 1½ million dollars too high. Every public institution of this state is burdened with drones who fare sumptuously and shine on the linen—Paola Western Spirit.
Justice to the masses demands that all agricultural college be abolished at once, and a discharge of the present morde of cunning rubber tyres.
The big schools are attended for the most part by the rich, while but few of the common walls are in the heart of the walls—Cherokee Sentinel.
Of course, Kansas has always has an occasional eccentric editor who periodically denounced the state university as a useless institution—who opposed education of any kind at this university. In 2005 she dos "Sol" Miller of the Troy Chief was accustomed to make an annual stellar appearance in that role.
The New Spirit of Kansas.
From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
There is certainly a new spirit in Kansas. Such language sounds very strange from Kansas, whose people were wont to point with justified pride to their devotion to education and their willingness to make public and private sacrifices for its advancement. Intellectual achievement used to be admired in Kansas. Used to enable section of the populationlation it was reresented now. What has happened to Kansas? What's the matter?
But then the people of Kansas simply laughed at the lucubrations of Mr. Miller and his corporal's guard of editorial echoes. These jeremias did not voice the spirit of Kansas, and everybody knew it. Now it is evident that such inslaughts do represent a certain weight of public sentiment for the resident alumni of university are appealing to their brethren of other states for help in meeting the assault upon Almi Mater.
THE SAD,SAD GRIND
"Your answer," said the history professor to the Piker, "reminds me of Quebec."
'10—"Say look at this bill from the Students' Pressing Bureau for ten beans."

"Because Quebec is founded on such a tall bluff," replied the professor.
'16—"Gee they don't believe much in the freedom of the press do they?"—Harvard Lampoon.
The Piker grinned uneasily. "Why, sir?" he ventured.
First Land Lady—"I keep my boarders longer than you do anyway."
Barber—One of my customers had rheumatism cured by mud baths.
Without the snowflakes fell mountfully, and all was silent except for the gentle patter on the tin roof.
