Address communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANBS, Lawrence. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 23,1912. Victor Murdock advises the undergraduate to feed their instincts. We do; three times a day. The caretaker of the meter twins has departed. Here's an opening for some good nurse. The faculty ladies received the freshmen Saturday. Our bad luck continues to dog us. We haven't received a single one yet. The thought comforting. The entomological department reports that although the horse disease may continue for some time, there is no likelihood that it will ever strike our ponies. Although enrollment has closed officially, Registrar Foster is unable as yet to give out the proportions of the freshman. We should say offhand that they would be 5ft. 6 inches in their stocked feet. COURSE X—DAILY KANSAN The Board of Regents announced last week a ruling removing the limit on the number of students who may take work under a single professor. Long before this question was discussed, some 1500 graduates had registered for Course X, University Daily Kansas. For one hour each day, they will sit in our classroom and see the passing college show. We shall from time to time point out the good and the evil as we see it in the mirror we hold up before them and occasionally we shall touch a light finger upon what seems merry to us in the panorama. Fifteen hundred enrolled already and we look with o little professorial pride upon the stragglers who are beginning to fill up the benches at the back and to stand around in odd corners by the windows. For we feel that with 1500 filing into our hall daily, we shall have more followers and consequent power than any other department in the University. To use this wisely shall be our aim and when the last bell sounds, may we hope that each of the disciples will file forth a little happier for the year's work. --sell was sweet, Who found here all that innocence desired. To help us handle the routine of issuing the Daily Kansan, we shall need the services of a number of reporters. Places on the staff are open to any student in the University and our assistants will be picked after fair competitive tests. AN APOLOGY For our delay in carrying your pacer to you, O reader, we ask your pardon. With some 1500 new names and addresses on our circulation list, the management has spent an entire week arranging for carriers and layout routes for them. Beginning with this issue, the Daily Kansas will be delivered at your home each night. Should there be any irregularity in this service, a complaint by telephone or in person will meet with our prompt attention. "HOME, SWEET HOME" One Lawrence minister shifted his sermon yesterday into a new field. He prayed for those students who are never homesick. Following the worn idea, it has been a custom in these open college days to focus the attention upon the undergraduates who, away from their native place for the first time, are beginning to miss its familiar atmosphere. We gave them our sympathy because we knew the bottomless depths of that well of lonliness in their hearts which they were sounding. But here is a fresh turn to the old custom. This pastor would have us split our pity and pass one half of it to them that know nothing of the ancient love-instinct that knits man to his home. We would add our prayer to his. For we know that this class of students have hardened that in them which should sound truest because it was woven into their heritage as their race crept up from barbarism. If the theories of the scholars hold true, man's affection sought first the mother, then the father and finally when the tribe was no longer a roving one the fireside about which the three sat And so our hand goes out to them this day for whom the three syllables "home, sweet home," sound a mere trite phrase and lure not forth in their minds the kindly faces of the home-folks. THE SAD, SAD GRIND OF OUR COLLEGE LIFI Professor—This sort of reasoning is called induction. Now, when Adam had seen the sun rise three or four times, he felt certain by this course of thought that it would rise every morning; but if Eden had been in the Arctic circle, the sun would not have risen.

This I beheld, or dreamed it in a dream;— There spread a cloud of dust along a plain; And underneath the cloud, or in it, he A furious battle, and men yellled, and swords Shocked upon swords and shields. Wavered, but staggered backward, humbled by foes. A craven hung along the battle's edge, And thought, "Had I a sword of power steel— That blue blade that the king's son bears—but this Blunt thing!" he snap and flung it from his hand, And leaping crept away and left the field. Then came the king's son, wounded, sore bestead, And weaponless, and saw the broken sword. Hilt-buried in the dry and trodden sand, And ran and smatched it, and with Lifted afresh he hewed his enemy down, And saved a great cause that heroic day. Edward B. Sill Edward R. Sill. LORD CHESTERFIELD TO HIS SON IN COLLEGE Dear Boy: Pleasure is the rock which most young people split up; they launch out with crowded sails in quest of it, but without a compass to direct their course, or reason sufficient to steer the vessel; for want of which, pain and shame, instead of Pleasure, are the returns of their voyage. Do not think that I mean to snarl at Pleasure as a great power against it like a Parson; no, I mean to point it out, and recommend it to you, like an Epicurian; I wish you a great deal, and my only view is to hinder you from mistaking it. The character which most young men first aim at is, that of a Man of Pleasure; but they generally take it upon trust; and instead of consulting their own taste and inclinations, they blindly adopt whatever those with whom they chiefly converse are pleased to call by the name of Pleasure; and a Man of Pleasure, in the vulgar acceptance of that phrase, means only a beastily drunk-an, abandoned rascal, and a profile swarner and curser. As it may be of use to you, I am not unwilling, though at the same time ashamed, to own that the vices of my youth proceeded much to what my silly resolution was being what I saw as a Man of Pleasure, than from my own inclinations. I always natured hated drinking; and yet I have often drunk, with disgust at the time, attended by great sickness the next day, only because I then considered drinking as a necessary qualification for a fine gentleman and a Man of Pleasure. The same as to gaming. I did not want money, and consequently had no occasion to play for it; but I thought Play another necessary ingredient in the composition of a Man of Pleasure, and accordingly I planed to do so at first; specified a thousand real pleasures to it; and made myself solidly uneasy by it, for thirty of the best years of my life. Take warning, then, by them; choose your pleasures for yourself, and do not let them be imposed upon you. Follow nature, and not fashion: weigh the present enjoyment of your pleasures against the necessary consequences of them, and then let your common sense determine your choice. Thus seduced by fashion, and blindly adopting nominal pleasures, I lost real ones; and my fortune impaired, and my constitution shattered, are, I must confess, the just punishment of my errors. I was even absurd enough, for a little while, to swear, by way of adorning and completing the shining character which I affected; but this folly I soon laid aside upon finding both the guilt and indecency of it.
