TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 26,
Dead ancestors are more worshiped than live ones.—From the Chinese.
THE FIRST HOMECOMING
Almost as many alumni returned to the campus of their Alma Mater for the Missouri game last Saturday as come back in the spring to renew old associations at commencement time. But there was a vast difference in the personnel of the old grads who came last week from those who return each June.
Alumni who had not been back since they received their sheepskin many years ago were seen on the campus and marching enthusiastically about the gridiron between the halves. The first homecoming was a success.
It demonstrated the truth of the assertion that commencement did not appeal sufficiently to many alumni to bring them back to Lawrence. It reached what might be called the athletic element. So much interest in the idea was aroused in several parts of the state that special cars were chartered to bring the returning old grads.
Plans have already been started to have the second homecoming on the day of the Nebraska game next year. It should prove even more successful than the one this fall.
Since our vocabulary has come in for so much criticism it might be sock darn.
Our heart goes out to the Missouri freshman who took one look at our trolley poles and then missed the game while trying to decide where to go to get a haircut.
VICTORY
Victory is always sweeter when long awaited.
The twisting of the Tiger's tail last Saturday, therefore, was far more gratifying than it would have been had there been no reverses preceding it. But of greater consequence is the fact that these reverses did not and could not destroy the spirit of the team or the school
After each defeat the pop increased instead of diminishing, and as a result the season closed with a glorious victory. Fighting against a team that was doped to overwhelm them, our boys saw a Tiger dropkick sail between the goalposts after only a few minutes of play. But the sight only served to bring out the power that was in them and they swept the Missourians back.
Other Kansas teams may have arrived sooner, but none of them proved better stayers once they did arrive. The team developed slowly. It could not be otherwise. With a squad composed mostly of green material and with a hospital list of alarming proportions all through the season, it was impossible to develop a smooth running machine during the first weeks.
And then, about the time that
nings began to brighten up, after we had defeated the Aggies overwhelmingly, a certain individual by the name of Jinx appeared on the scene and insisted on occupying the position of mascot. The result is history.
But the team fought on. The climax came two weeks ago and after that even Mr. Jinx hadn't the nerve to stay on the job. With only eleven men on the team the mating of the Bengal caudal appendage was a natural result.
And while the team and its supporters are being considered, there are two men who must not be forgotten. Mosse and Frank deserve the greatest praise for the work they have done this season. When defeat came to the team they only worked the harder for the next game. When they introduced the shift play, the knockers hammered merrily, but the shift remained. And last Saturday that same shift beat Missouri.
All hail the Kansas football team of 1912!
Profs should not object to whispering in their classes this week. The chances are that it is merely some of the Thundering Thousand striving to make themselves heard.
WHAT BECOMES OF COLLEGE MEN
MEN
Readers who enjoy the study of the evolution of society will be entertained by some figures which the Federal Bureau of Education has compiled. They relate to the vocations chosen by college graduates. Thirty-seven colleges are included in the computation and the destinies of their graduates are traced from 1642 to 1900. Six vocations are tabulated—ministry, law, medicine, education, business, public service.
If a person were all wise he could deduce the history of the country from the changes in the number of graduates who have selected these various callings. At the beginning the ministry called 65.6 per cent of the college men. Now it gets but a scant 6 per cent, one-tenth of its former share. According to some authorities, there has been a corresponding decline in the social importance of the ministry, but no exact figures upon that subject are obtainable. No wonder the church demanded more for the theological institutes, but perhaps they should get them there would be corresponding fall off in the number of capable Y. M. C. A. secretaries. We dare say the stream has not been dried up, but merely per cent of the college graduates in diverted into a new channel.
The law, which took less than 16 1424 now swallows up almost 16 per cent. According to the best historians, there were fully enough lawyers at the former date. If that is true, we are probably a little oversupplied now and the same is true of physicians. In 1424 it required only 3 per cent of thecollege graduates tophospite in the country. Today they must about 7 per cent are needed. Either sickness is more prevalent than it used to be or some doctors might go into farming without loss to the community.
The share of education has risen from 5 to 27 per cent. This corresponds to a genuine demand, since the growth of public schools has been quite as rapid. The figures for business are as significant as any of the rest. In 1642 it was rare for a graduate to sacrifice his immense learning on the altar of trade. Now it is common. About 19 per cent of the crop of college men take to business every year and the figures are increasing. College men are so numerous in all departments of commercial life that, to quote the new saw, "Business has become a learned profession."—Portland Oregonian.
OUT OF THE MOUTHS
OF WISE OLD BOYS
The conscience of man can never maintain itts supremacy over the passions of humanity and a belief in the existence of such a Deity as the Scriptures reveal—an Omnipotent Being of almighty power, boundless power, enduring power and inflexible justice. Nothing less than this will hold in check the violence of human passion, and repress the opposing tendency of human selfishness.
—Wayland
OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE

Contributions welcome. The
newspaper is free to print.
But now he walks the streets,
And he looks at all he meets,
Sad and wan;
And he shakes his feoeble head,
That it seems as if he said,
"They are gone!"
LETTERS NOBODY WRITES
Why would it not be a good plan if Registrar Foster would give to the Kansan for publication his corrected list of addresses of students which he has secured while giving out the directories? This list could then be printed in the Kansan in such a form that the students could cut it out and paste it in their directories. While this list might not be large, nevertheless it would be a source of much convenience to many and we would like to see it printed if possible.

"You can smoke a pipe or a cigar, but cigarettes—" then he swelled his chest and added, "You'll have to douse that pill."
Trusting that you will take this intrusion upon your time in the spirit in which it is designed, I beg to remain always, my dear Mr. Flusterhed,
Thamesbridge University, November 8, 1912. No Illustrations.
One whom it would benefit.
Every few days for the last two months I have received communications from the University urging me to do all in my power to bring about the passage of a mill tax for the support of the University by the legislature this winter. Now, I don't consider that my pull will do much toward getting this bill through the assembly, but the little I can do may help.
On the tomb.
—O. W. Holmes.
Nowwithstanding this unpleasant occurrence, I shall continue to boost the mill tax, but I fail to grasp the justness of an order that deprives an ordinary citizen the pleasure of a cigarette and permits him to suck a pipe or chew a cigar.
STUDENT
Your obedient servant,
IRATE ALUMNUS
I did as he ordered me to, but I failed to appreciate the joke. Had I been a student instead of an alumnus in good standing, it might have been different.
I do not wish you unnecessarily to worry you over your son Thomas Flusterhed's general conduct since he entered Thamesbridge as a Freshman last month, but I nevertheless deem it my duty to say to you that your son is not only studying too hard, but has shown the effects of his arduous labors by receiving maximum marks in all his studies since the beginning of his term. This is so unusual an occurrence that I think it should receive your attention, and I would suggest that you either come here yourself to investigate the situation, or else authorize me to have our University medical examiner take the matter in hand and report what, if anything, is wrong. I very much fear that unless this tendency to study is taken in hand at once your son's mind at the end of his college career will be stuffed so full of learning of various sorts that it will be many years before he will be of value in the business world, for which I presume he is destined.
Although offered a salary of $0.000 to become head of the agricultural department at the University of California, Dean Woods of Minnesota has decided to retain his present position, which pays $7,600.
The massy marbles rest
On the lips that he pressed
and turned to his face.
And the names, he loved to hear
Have been carried or many a year
