Wounded Men Appreciate Work of K.U. Dietician In Hospital In France
Miss Hazen
Pork Chops and Poached Eggs Wanted by Soldiers, Writes Miss Hagen
Another letter from Gertrude Hazen, A. B. '16, who is serving as a dietician in France was received recently. Miss Hazen writes:
"I am out at the camp hospital of which I spoke in my last letter. Of course I do not know how long I am going to be here, but it is a wonderful privilege to be here and see a real field hospital. I have no diet kitchen or any kind of cooking work; only sauces and dressings. On light diet are getting what they should need and that the ones who need food the worst are getting it.
"We have about as many patients in the hospital as we had inhabitants in the past."
"You would die if you could see on place. You go into these great lontents and see cots on either side, some of them full of desperately sick boy, and on some of boys sitting playing cards and piecing out puzzles or most anything to pass away the time Down around the little stoves you will see a group of boys wearing the robes of men or hard to make of them with crutches or arms in slings but sitting there talking of various things. Today it is 'when are we going home,' or 'What are we going to do.'
"If you could just see the wonderful, wonderful way these boys who have had leg amputations and numerous other wounds all on one man, smile and say there is nothing the matter with them or there is nothing they want, your heart would go straight out of their eyes." More more the reason you had done so much work last summer when these boys were being wounded.
"Some of them are so brave and fine about things. One boy is so badly at that they put up the screen so he can not see how badly he is. He is so dressed up that he makes me feel ashamed that I ever complain or be disgreed.
"The food is supplemented by donations from various sources. For instance one woman saw the need and started bringing out chops and steaks for the boys. Soon it grew beyond her and the Red Cross took it over so now we are getting as many as fifty a day and it is a part of my duty to see to it that these are properly distributed. It is not a question of needing it but of wanting it. It has such a lot for them for many eat their whole supper when they have the chops whereas before they were eating little if any.
"One woman has been wonderful about supplying fruit. That is mighty scarce and awfully high, oranges are fifteen cents a piece and other things accordingly. But the boys crave it so this woman buys it and sends it out and then very happily does not want to distribute it herself but allows us to put it where it will do the most good. All of which puts it up to me to get around and acquainted with the whole hospital so I may know the individual cases which need them worst and just what is needed. That is going to be very fascinating and I am going to try awfully hard to learn their needs and get them back to the States as soon as possible.
"the nurses all eat together in a tent with two long white oilcloth covered tables. We have real china dishes but tin spoons and steel knives and forks and it all seems as if we were out camping.
"It is great to think I am going to have a big chance to help and have a good time and get an idea of what the life is and as one of the boys said, hear the plain unvarnished truth about the plain just as told when it is fresh to them.
"One boy wanted ham. He said he had not tasted ham in so long that he felt that he would be well if he could have some. I didn't know whether I could get it for him or not but this noon I cut a couple of pieces of veal and sandwich sandwich. He seems so pleased and ate every bit of it.
"One of the most pathetic things happened last night when I asked one boy—such a young kid—if he would
not like some fruit of kind amd he said "No, I'm all right. I don't need anything." That's the kind that hurt because you know it is just a resignation to fate and being a good soldier as they all are. Finally when I insisted I knew this boy must eat more, he said. "Well, how much would I be?" He was been away from my company for six months. "You can imagine how glad I was to take him some fruit from our limited supply."
"One boy wanted some pie, any kind so I am going to try to get for some him,"some way or other. One boy is going to die a little happier because we were able to get him some grapes. Do not think these are whims of men. They are, but you must remember that they are men who are all shot to pieces. One of the nurses laughed the other day when a girl friend wrote how badly off a friend of hers was who had four bullet wounds. That was a joke in comparison to what we see every day.
"One boy was blown up, carried two days on an ambulance before they got him to a hospital. They had to wring the blood from his clothes. Yet he is thrilled and happy because he is getting his egg poached instead of boiled.
Approaching Old Age Takes K.U.Men's Pep
"Did you notice the bunch of rooters the Jonesville High team brought along?" asked the Erratic Scribe. "They have more supporters here than the K.U. team ever took on any of its trips."
"Sure," agreed the Guy Who Notice's Things, "Even to Kansas City. A lot of students went up town with the team last time, when they battled the Schmelzers and needed the support, but they went to the Follies and rooted for Am Pennington."
"I wish it would become fashionable to take dates to basketball games," continued the Scribe. "A big bunch of line parties at every game next season would make the Athletic Association pay an incomg
After directing a visiting high schooler in the direction of the gymnasm, the Scribe went on.
"We used to date to basketball games out in Kansas when we went to high school and have a better time than we do now going to movies. Why is it? " he asked.
The G. W. N. T. became thoughtful.
"It must be because we are older and hate to tell or get excited," he decided. "The ambition nowadays to be reserved and vender to be possessible."
"Was there ever such a peppery campaign in the University as Lawrence High is putting on for its Lib
erty Memorial High?' asked the Scribe suddenly. "They aren't dead down there by any means. If K U really wants to move, the College removed from the landscape, it could learn a very good lesson right here in town."
"And speaking of democracy—" began the Noticing Guy.
"It's time for the first game," interrupted the Scribe. "I "to get to write it up. Come along and see a real example of pep."

Seniors Follow Custom From Old Monasteries
Caps and Gowns Worn by Scholars of Seventh Century
Within recent years the custom of wearing caps and gowns at commencement exercises of the leading American universities, or at any academic functions or ceremony has been definitely established.

Century
To do this we cross the Channel and visit the old cathedral schools which were established in the seventh century and the precursors of those early universities founded in the twelfth century to meet the increased demand for instruction in the higher branches of knowledge.
Before studying the recently established American code, or attempting to unravel the mysteries of the English hood, the evolution of the academic degree, gown, and hood from an early age to the present day must be traced.
In the early days of the University of Paris, the chancellor of the Cathédral on the He de la Clite issued the licenses to teach, and when the student entered upon the performance of his duties as a duly licensed teacher, his emancipation from the bachelorhood was symbolized by placing on his head a cap or biretta, which ceremony was performed by his former instructor. The present day custom of giving a hood when an honorary degree is conferred, is therefore, but an outgrowth of this mediateval ceremony. It was but natural that the early universities should preserve at the best their an adaptation of the munk's robe with its cowl or hood. Such杠ows were at first a mark of profound learning, and were worn by doctors of divinity and graduates, but later undergraduates were entitled to wear them.
At Oxford and Cambridge, where the order of things does not change with each succeeding generation, the same type of gowns have been worn since the beginning of the seventh century.
In America it has long been customary for eminent jurists, doctors of divinity, and presiding officers of universities to wear a black silk robe of ample dimensions. This movement, which was indefinite, originated among the students themselves and in different universities and colleges, who elected, from time to time, to wear caps and gowns at commencement exercises.
The faculties were quick to recognize the utilitarian advantage of a uniform dress, as well as the added dignity the black gowns gave to an assemblage of students, and encouraged the custom which has spread so
In that year, an inter-college commission was appointed to consider the question of adopting a distinctive academic costume for graduates of American universities and colleges, and as a result of that commission's work a simple system regulating the shape of gowns and colors of hoods was established. This code which has been adopted by the leading universities and colleges of the country, provides for three types of gowns. Those worn by the bachelors are made of black worsted cloth and have a long pointed sleeve. Masters are entitled to wear silk gowns made with a long, closed sleeve, square at the end with a slit for the arm. The doctors gowns are silk with a full, round open sleeve. These may be faced with velvet, and have three bars of velvet on the sleeve. The color of such trimming must correspond to the color which edges the hood.
rapidly until 1894 no definite form o
pattern of gown was adhered to.
Having traced the evolution of the scholastic hood from the monk's cowl, we find that has reached the highest point of development here in America at the present day there can be no doubt that the whole matter of academic dress has passed an experimental stage and now rests upon an intelligent and permanent foundation.

"Say, what good does it do a fellow to be meek and lowly?" said Pi upon being interviewed this morning. "I ain't had a fight of any importance since last year. I'm being good. I ain't even scared any freshmen or nothing. But do you suppose anybody noticees me now? Course not. If I never do nothing but be good I never seem to get anywhere. Why, there hasn't been a reporter to interview me since last year, when I had that fight with the Pi Kx. A dog at the Nebraska rally."
"Now, there's Daddy Van's dogs, they get all the publicity in the world cause they are always chasing cats or something else that gets away from these medics over in Snow Hall. Why is that? Because we press in the daily press twice since I have."
"I got a good notion to start out on a career of lawlessness that will ever shock the Pi Ui themselves. I fed me leaking into the castage list久年
