The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the students who will be taught than merely printing the news by standing for the idea of the University. Students must be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to be smart; to be intelligent; to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the best of its ability the students of the university.

K. U.'s CONCERT COURSE
WEDNESDAY, OCT. 8, 1919
"Weather Report. Shows September Dry." That isn't the only report that will show that September was unusually dry.
The price of culture never has been a subject for remonstraction by K. U. students, and the people of Lawrence, but sometimes it has been necessary for them to be told of their duty in the matter before the price has been forthcoming. Obviously, it is now the duty of the students and townspeople to co-operate and insure the financial success of the University Concert Course. Dean Butler this year without doubt has engaged the best course the University has ever had. This has meant an outlay of several hundred dollars more than has ever been paid before. It is unfortunate, but perhaps necessary for the price of culture to advance along with the higher quality which the patrons of the course are demanding.
The concert course at K. U. is an undertaking which merits just as much of the student's interest and support as any other undertaking. As a good case can be made for the necessity of developing one's appreciation of good music, as can be made for the development of one's interest in football. Both have their place in the well rounded life, and to get started on just such a life is the only good excuse for climbing Mount Oread.
The baby who pulled King Albert's mustache must be a true American to have such little regard for foreign royalty.
CONVOCATION—WHY NOT?
CONVOCATION—WHY NOT?
Convocation as a regular part of the experience on the hill is not in the scheme of things as they are now planned, but could not some way be found whereby it could be held at least once a week without airily disturbing the routine of class work? The University is the lover by not being able to reap the advantages of unity of purpose and spirit which could be attained more easily and fully at such gatherings than in any other place.
It is granted that numerous and serious difficulties stand in the way of holding weekly conventions. In the first place the auditorium in Robinson Gymnasium will not hold all the students who might want to come, and in the second place the continuous schedule of classes in the morning makes it impossible to hold conversation without interfering with the work of one or more class periods.
But it is a question whether the value of these classes outweighs the
value which could be obtained from a weekly assembly of the students and faculty members. The convoitation gives the student the only opportunity of getting in touch with the University faculty, other than his own instructors. It is practically the only chance the students have for meeting together for a common purpose. These are education I opportunities which easily could be made to run rings around the hour in the class room. If the matter of a weekly convoitation, its advantages and disadvantages have not been carefully weighed, now is as good a time as any to put it back on the scales.
From the sounds coming from the Administration Building it would be difficult to determine just what department ocupes the center section. Some persons hazard a guess that a course in experimental dentistry has been installed. Others offer a suggestion that perhaps a corps of "village blacksmiths" have taken offices there.
On Other Hills
At Ohio State University all freshmen were compelled to have caps before being admitted to the first football game.
About four hundred cotes have been placed in the gymnasium at the University of Wisconsin to take care of the students. They are able to find permanent quarters.
Special emphasis is being placed on physical education at Columbus University. All first and second year students are required to take gymnastics, which requires a satisfactory examination may substitute participation in a sport.
At the University of Missouri sophomores have been excused from taking gymnastium work.
Guy Mouton Whipple one of the foremost authorities in America on Educational Psychology goes to the chair of the faculty at the chair of Experimental Education.
A new four years course in physical education has been offered at Northwestern University. The entrance qualifications for women students are, practical good health, broad general education, good physical endurance and a strong sense of rhythm.
The freshmen at Ottawa University tied their opponents the sophomores in fifty minutes at the annual chicke scrap. Fried chicken furnished the freshman was the main part of the feast which followed.

For twelve years the K. U. Band has been rehearsing and playing engagements and during that time they have received no credit other than some gym credit. Even the gym credit affects only the freshmen and the sophomores and not even the sophomores in the School of Engineering who do not have to take gymnastics. Thus the Sophomores in the School of Engineering, the juniors and seniors in the School of Engineering their peers and admirably free. Of course the band man receive a certain amount of instruction but not many college men follow the musical profession after they leave school.
Editor, The Daily Kansan:—
K. U, has always an excellent band because band men were willing to sacrifice time and studies for this organization. A free horse is often ridden to death."
If the student body will get behind the band in its fight for credit the Senate will be obliged to "come aerosis" or probably the University will have to play the Missouri game without a head.

Ira D. Stockbridge,
Editor The Daily Kanansi—
Perhaps by this time Mr. Henze
has learned something about Freshman
cap, but in case he still holds to
his opinions a word or two here from
some of the freshmen might not be
amiss. We admire the stand you took
Mr. Henze; it certainly was her bulb,
take yourself too seriously. Do not
forget that Paul said, "When you are
in Rome, do as the Romans do." Get
into the real spirit of it as most of
the new men here do. What difference
does it make to you if you are older
or more mature than most of your
conferences? It isn't going to kill you
to wear the cap. True it is an awful
thing. But it will help and dignify
but perk you need it.
Where do you get all that stuff about "degenerate traditions, autoracy of the richer students, and egoism of the upperclassmen"? Did not they go through the probationary period? If the freshmen wished to abolish the cap it would be a simple matter to take a vote on it and drop the custom about the majors who degrade their respect for the class; have done it is because it is productive of school spirit and that is what we want.
When, in 1906, he was made Cardi-
America could not be honored by any foreigner's visit more than she is by that of Desire, Cardinal Morcer. More than any other man he is a symbol of the strength that has resisted Germany, a spiritual strength of unshakeable faith that good can outlive of evil, of steady courage, of heroic endurance.
The Cardinal is sixty-eight years old. He was born in a little village close to the battlefield of Waterloo. Educated for the priesthood at Maastricht, he then went on to a professorship of teaching, and for many years was Professor of Philosophy at tact with his pupils was so intimate tact with his pupils was so intonate and influential as to create a group of ominent present-day philosophes, while no library of philosophy is complete without his volumes on that subject.
he old saying, "Custom is stronger than law" holds in the university of all places and you know what you can do if you don't like the custom.

CARDINAL MERCIER
Very sincerely, Some Freshmen Brothers.
I hold it as part of my office to instruct you as to your duty and responsibilities that has invaded our soil and now occupies the greater part of our land.
then it was quickly evident that the academician was also a practical man of 2positive administrative genius. Later, out it, we were more quickly evident that the Cardinal was a very root in his country's defense. Hear, for instance,
Occupied provinces are not conquered by invaders because the governor is no lawful authority. Therefore, in soul matters they have respect, nor attachment or negation.
And now we find that he is a prophlet as well. He cherishes no illusions as to the chances of another war; he declares, "The New York 'Times' he declarates:"
Fifteen thousand copies of this letter were seized and destroyed, the cardinal being able to everything possible was done to keep the Cardinal a prisoner in his palace. For more than four years German pressure vainly tried to stifle the insurgency.
The sole lawful authority in Belgium is that our King and of our Government of the elected representatives of the nation.
The motto of the Cardinal's coat or arms reads: "Apostoitos Jesu Christi!" Truly there are found in one man all those qualities which make up that antique type of schoiar, pastor, prelate, statesman, and prophet which we naturally think of under the title "apostolic." The Outlook.
Germany is already preparing for a war of revenge, Defeated, she talks of peace, but the spirit of the cranks is much made upon it; it will again be also upon Belgium because we are in the way.
