K. U. 12, 8 Business department... K. U. 12, 8 In William Herbert Carruth, A. B '$0', who died recently at Mayfield, California, Kansan loses another of her most illustrious sons. Doctor Carruth was a member of the University faculty for many years, resigning in 1913 to accept a position at Leland Stanford as head of the department of English. While here, he had wide interests, one of them being athletics. He made a fight for clean sports, especially criticizing the questionable means of getting athletes to attend the University, making himself unpopular to a certain extent in this respect because he was twenty years ahead of his time. "Movie Athlete Refuses to Comment on Her Purported Engagement," pays a headline. Why should she, when her press agent does enough talking for two? He was a friend of the "down and outers." When Harry Kemp, the trumpet rest of Kansas, swung off the tender of a Santa Fe engine, hungry and peniless, Doctor Carruth helped him get a job, after lending him a dollar to pay for a night's lodging and for something to eat. Doctor Carvuth himself was a distinguished writer and poet. His poem, "Knich in His Own Tongue" is one of the best four or five poems ever written in Kansas. Married students and those with high grades are the only ones allowed to drive ears at the University of Indiana. If you can't get high grades, there's only one way to keep your ear, apparently. THE INSPIRATION When a poem appears, greew enough to merit translation into all the known languages of the world as is the case with William Herber Carruth's "Each in His Own Tongue," many conjectures are made about its probable sources. Some Ger man scholar have suggested that the poem is a development of a passion in Goethe's Faust, where Faunt is the university of helbe in God tells Marguerite: "Jedes in seiner Sorge" or "Each in his own language." The poem was once publased as a translation from the Russian. It has been plagiarized often given in garbled versions; set to music, and made the subject-matte and inspiration of countless verses by all denominations. It was one the text of a canon of Westminster Abbey; and again the theme of sermon of a missionary in Tasmania Appeals were made to its author OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Copy received at the Channeller's office until 11:00 a.m. VaL VI, Wednesday, December 17, 1924 No. 101 IRREGULAR PAYROLL: many times that he adopt extra stamina composed by others, but the poet gently and firmly declined.

It is fortunate indeed that he has left us a statement of the genesis of his masterpiece. In 1918 when his attention was called to an aneurypel stanza written by a young instructor in the war-mine, Professor Carruth sent a friend in the University of Kansas, the history of "Each in His Own Tongue" as he had given it in an interview for *The Silhouette* at San Francisco. The inspiration of the poem is clearly stated. It is the same marvelous view that rechts the eyes of hundreds of us daily. Full of poetic beauty and charm is the description, "The poem was conceived one October afternoon as I stood with my friend, Professor F. H. Snow of the University of Kansas, on the high bluff overlooking the Kansas river valley, stretching in beautiful variety of greens and browns, ochard, wheat stubble and corn, away toward the eastern horizon that blends the haze of the distance with the bluest sky in the world. One of us said—I carefully recall now which one—"There I no season like the Kansas autumn." The other replied. We can say not- The other replied, 'We can say nothing' but God.' "We stood for a time in silence, and then I remarked, since Professor Snow had wrestled much with the problems of evolution, 'It is the same with evolution; it is all summed up in the word.' "God!" Each in His Own Tongue A fire-mist and a planet. A crystal and a cell. A jelly fish and a sauarian. And caves where the cave men cwelt; Then a sense of law end beauty, and a face turned from the elod. Some call it Evolution. Awd others call it God. A haze on the far horizon, The infinite, tender sky. The vip, rich list of the caffields, And the wild greeve adailng high, And all over apland and landed, The charm of the goldenod, Some of us call it Autumn, And others call it God. Live tides on a crescent new beach. When the moon is new and this, Into car hearts high werrings. Come waving and wailing in: Come from the mystic ocean Whose vim no foot has traed Some of us call it Longing, And others call it God. 2 DAYS And millions who, humble and name less A picket frozen on duty, A mother starred for her brood, Socrates drinking the hemlock, And Jesus on the road; And millions who hurt.
