PUT YOURSELVES ON THE MAP
Thirty-nine classes have passed through the University and have left no standing tradition behind them.
No fountains, no seats, no bronze doors, no ornamental gates, no chimes, no lamps, no statuary—none of those campus embellishments and convenience such as graduating classes have placed on the grounds of almost every other university in the country. Remember this and do something to let the next generation of students know that you were here.
Let it be hoped that there are students in the present classes with life and spirit enough to make it certain that the ice of inaction will be broken, and that the next generation of students will profit by their worthy deeds.
There ought not to be any doubt as to the outcome of the coaching difficulty. Surely we remember the old slogan, "United we stand."
Our first basket-ball game is to be played Saturday night. The visiting team happens to be Washburn, too. Let it be hoped that they do not play basket-ball as they did football.
BY ALL MEANS, INVESTIGATE
The Leavenworth Times said
editorially, in its issue of December
31, some unpleasant things about
the School of Medicine:
"Over in Kansas City, Mo. they have a pretty poor opinion of the management of the Kansas University Medical College. When this institution was first established at Rosedale the regents of the University went into Kansas City, where there are a goodly number of men learned in all branches of medicine and surgery and took of the best for the Medical School faculty, but during the past few years, it is said, politics has entered into the management of the school, instructors who live across the line have been dismissed and men with political pull have succeeded in getting their sons or their friends in as members of the faculty. Nearly every member of the old faculty has been dismissed, they say, and the present faculty is composed largely of young men who may have the theories and text book knowledge but lack in the practice that is worth more to a doctor than books. It might be well for Governor Hodges to look after this thing and if the Kansas City charges are found to be well founded, then let the medical faculty be strengthened. And at any rate let some way be taken to make the state educational institutions entirely independent of politics."
The only effective answer to such
stories as this is: Investigate—the sooner the better. The Daily Kansan has no fear of the outcome of any investigation of the School of Medicine.
National parties have found some very ardent supporters in the University this year. This is to be commended. It behooves the present generation of students to sit up and take notice of what is going on about them. The fact that a number of students were sufficiently enthusiastic to attend the inauguration ceremonies in Topeka yesterday is evidence of a healthy interest in our state government. Who will start a movement "On to Washington" to help inaugurate President Wilson?
The Coal Famine has had us on the one-yard line twice this winter, but hasn't yet scored and the ball is now in the middle of the field. The Agricultural College had worse luck, however, and was pushed over for a safety last week. The students stayed in their rooms two days before they could get back into the game.
WHY IS A SCHOOL?
The high school department of a Connecticut school was asked a short time ago ten questions coming under the head of general information. Among these were such queries as:
Who said: "England expects every man to do his duty?" "Eureka?" "I'll fight it out on this line if it takes all summer?" "Give me liberty or give me death?" "Consider the lilies, how they grow?" "Taxation without representation is tyranny?"
Out of fifty-seven pupils, not one could give Nelson as the mouthpiece of England's expectations. Not one had the faintest idea who said "Eurekal!" Not one knew who said "Taxation without representation is tyranny." The best paper answered only five of the ten questions correctly. Only four papers had as many as four correct answers. Nine pupils failed to answer a single question correctly! Eight out of the fifty-seven knew who said "Consider the lillies;" the others were paralyzed by the difficulty of the question. If a little learning is a dangerous thing, the pupils of this school are removed from danger; not further, necessarily, than we are ourselves, for we should not have cared to face that examination.—Collier's.
Jaysquawks By Ponce
"Are you fond of literature?" he asked.
"Then you must admire Sir Walter Scott," he exclaimed, with sudden animation. "Is not his 'Lady of the Lake' exquisite in its flowing grace and poetic imagery? It is not—"
"Passionately," she replied, "I love books dearly."
"It is perfectly lovely!" she asserted, clasping her hands in extacy.
"And Scott's Emulsion?" a stern high-browish look appearing upon his face.
Never could figure out why a person would want a job as Y. M. C. A. Secretary, anyway. Paragraph. However, we might take it, we might take it.
"I think that is the best thing he ever wrote," she answered.
"And Scott's Marmion," he continued, "with its rugged simplicity." "It is perfectly lovely!" she assented glefully.
We take our typewriter between our legs to announce that we don't give a hang whether Shakespeare wrote them or not. Let this end the controversy, please.
The advertisers' catch-phrase should be changed from "See Our Line," to "Hear Our Line."
And a great deal of this talk might be directed against the cost of high living.
The Daily Kansan will publish in this space favorite verses of its reader. Contributions welcome.—The Editor.
OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
THE WORLD
I think we never make money.
The word for me is *Joy*, just simple.
I'll put it in my book.
The joy of life;
The joy of children and of wife;
The joy of bright blue thieves;
of life
"Miss Eames, will you tell me?"
Miss Eames obligingly said she would tell him if she could, but that she did not know.
The joy of children and of wife;
The joy of bright blue skies;
The joy of rain; the glad surprise.
Of togetherness that shines at night.
Next in alphabetical order came the Pretty Junior. The Bluffer caught the look of distress that she threw at him, leaned forward to shut her off from the Professor's view, and coughed impressively. The class wondered at his foolhardiness in thus attracting attention. But The Bluffer knew what he was about. After having bluffed a practical
of twinkling stars that shine at night,
the joy of wrapped things upon their
stores.
The joy of air, and sea, and earth.
The countless joys that ever flow from
Whose vast benecence doth dim
The Lustrostr light of day,
When glistens dawn upon our way.
Whatte Nebbia of Northowe
I付 off all to Tomorrow.
The joy of noon-day, and the tried
joyousness of evening;
the joy of midday, and
the joy of night.
The Dreamer smiled faintly to himself, as if thinking the question over. But he wasn't. He didn't know what had been a question. "Mr. Dopyran."
By fours and threes and twos and here and there a solitary one the class filed into the big room, crammed with seats, chalky with dust of the whole week. It was a conglomerate room, used for many classes. The large lays on a table in front, and on one a mountain, having become detached, reposed serenely on the glaring blue surface of the Pering Sea. Pictures of a geological nature hung in mathematical precision on the walls. Some lecturer had left a stereotypian apparatus in the rear of the room months before, and against it the Dreamer stumbled as he wandered to his seat.
THE BLUFFER
And when To-morrow comes, why then
T will be To-day and Joy again.
I will be To-day and Joy again.
"Mr. Creel, you may explain the psychology of laughter."
The Professor stood in front waiting for the bell to ring, never quite at ease until he was in the actual swing of the work. He was a large, blonde man, rather young than otherwise, with an impassive face. The Pretty Junior paused to tell him that she had missed class the day before because of the illness of her mother. Always embarrassed at such close proximity to a young woman he murmured hastily:
"Yes, yes, I know."
The Pretty Junior smiled as she went to her seat, reflecting that he knew much more than her mother did. She was a "nut-brown maid," with the red looking richly through the olive of her skin, and hair and mattelively black. A positive little halo of beauty shone round her head.
—John Kendrick Bangs.
Not far behind the Pretty Junior The Bluffer came. Then the Real Student walked in briskly, deposited a heap of books on the floor, took out her fountain pen and opened her notebook. The Real Student had a serious face, thoughtful eyes, and a quantity of smooth hair, the color of half-pulled taffy, lumped upon her head.
The Professor's voice was expressionless, but there was still a gleam of wrath in his eye. Mr. Donovan couldn't think, although he knew.
The whistle blew, and The Professor arose to write the subject of the day's lesson on the board. For forty-five minutes he discursed with great earnestness on the different sets of nerve centers. Then he taught them how to begin and begin the class on the work of a month before.
The Real Student's hand went up and waved about limply, like a sail when there is only a little wind. A cloud of despondency swept over the rest of the class. Everybody sighed except The Dreamer, who was gazing out at the blue sky and the green of the trees. The Professor must have longed to throw an eraser at him. As that would have been an act of impulse, and as he taught that all impulse should be eliminated from the scheme of life, he threw a question:
father into letting him come to college and a watchful faculty into letting him stay, he had no intention of being balked by a mere psychology question. When The Professor turned toward him he shrank back, as if particularly wishing not to be called upon.
"Mr. Lowell," said the Professor,
"I was wondering," spoke up The Blufer,
"whether in asking that question you refer to the laughter of a child or to that of an adult?" Such of the class as knew The Blufer intimately smiled.
"Now I should think," said The Buffer, in a respectfully argumentative tone, "that the psychology of laughter would be very different in the two cases."
The Professor looked puzzled. "Why, either" he answered.
"I don't think I get your point," hazarded the Professor.
"The laughter of a child," explained The Bluffer earnestly, "is always natural, always unassumed. It seems to me that our author has not cases, and worked out from them theories that apply only to children."
"We shall take up the discussion at this point tomorrow. You have raised an interesting question, Mr. Lowell," said The Professor.
"But can laughter ever be quite natural in a man or woman?" persisted The Bluffer. "Is it not always sub-consciously at least, forced in some degree? Is it not —"
The whistle blew.
The class arose. The Bluffer wiped the perspiration from his brow and walked away at the side of the Pretty Junior.
And the laugh they laughed down Fraser hall seemed natural and unassumed.

Something Doing at Our Sister Colleges
A farmer at Atlantic Iowa, has invented a new sport which some Drake students may try during holidays. An automobile is used in hunting by going at night. The headlights attract the rabbits to the beam of light and remain in it scared until the car is close enough for a shot.—Drake Delphic.

Miss G. B. A.: For fever blisters on the lips, take a small square of No. 5 sand-paper, and grasp it firmly between the right fore-finger, and the left wedding-ring finger. Have an assistant drive a few nails through your shoes, so that your feet will not stir. Let her also clamp your head in a vise. Now gently rasp away the blister, chanting meanwhile this mystic ritual:
