UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS FRIDAY AFTERNON, FEBRUARY 28, 1919.
Representative Frederick H. Gillett of Massachusetts was nominated on the first ballot Thursday night by the Republican conference as the party candidate for speaker in the next House of Representatives. The vote was 137 to 69. As the Republicans will have a majority in the next House, nomination was regarded by them as equivalent to an election.
President Wilson desires conclusion of a peace treaty as speedily as consistent with the great questions involved and, except for adjustments of territorial differences, he believes a great part of the work is approachable. He has also been known that he is firmly convinced that in no particular does any provision of the league charter conflict with the American constitution.

in Vosges Mountains
"It was sure good to get hold of "a 'Kansan' in France," said Stanton L. Smiley, who spent nine months with the 35th division "over there," and is now in Lawrence preparato- to entering the School of Law. "We must fight for our mighty places, once I found one in the bottom of a shell hole."
"Any man who was from Kansas was always good company. Company M was hiking in the Vosges mountains, when suddenly we ran across Tony James riding on a little mule The company halted and gave him a ride. He waded heavily by waving his hat, at which he nearly fell off his mule."
"Among the queerest sights I witnessed," continued Smiley, "as suddenly to happen upon a deserted wagon, its driver and team led by a shell. The wagon was $^{1}$ with bodies of dead German soldiers, piloted as if they were so many sandbags, being taken behind the German lines. From all the evidence the bodies were being taken behind the German lines.
"I is poetry worth while?" was the text of the lecture and readings given Thursday afternoon in Fraser Chapel by Edmund Cooke, American poet, philosopher, and lecturer of note.
What Part Will College Play In After-War Reconstruction?
Mr. Cooke's program was a rare combination of humor, philosophy and humanity, interspersed with wonderful interpretations of the author's own poems. His character interpreter is perfectly good and ranged from the apocalypse to a babe for the opera to aology of the Great Emancipator.
A large audience of the student body and faculty heard Mr. Cooke, whose stopover in Lawrence was arranged by the extension department of the university, under whose auspices the poet is touring the state on a lyceum circuit.
Mr. Cooke is a poet of national note, having written a dozen books of rhyme, and contributed to more than eighty publications in twenty years as a poet, lecturer and humorist. \
Is Lecturing in Kansas Under Auspices of Extension Division
Edmund Vance Cook Talks to K. U. on Valu of Poetry
With vocational schools reaching up and professional institutions crowding in the field of humanities and general education is being narrowed, says Frederick W. Roe of the University of Wisconsin in February Scribner's—Colleges must quit meddling with athletes and must re-state their purpose.
"WHILE NARROWNESS DISS
The college is also a place for the development of personal ideals and love. Here you own your own land. Under the guidance of counselors, narrowness is to be put off and breaths is to be put on.
Will the college have a part in solving the problems of the new democracy which is coming to birth at the close of the war, or will it be still further overshadowed, on the one hand, by the newer secondary education, awakened to its social responsibilities, and on the other hand by the professional schools, always responsible to immediate practical needs? This is a big question. It turns out that the work of the University of Wisconsin, discusses in Scribner's for February in an article entitled, "The College: Yesterday and Tomorrow."
WHERE NARROWNESS DIES
"The graduate and professional schools," says Mr. Ree, "have reached down and the secondary schools have reached up, until the identity of the college is seriously threatened. Out of the colossial work of reconstruction, out of the vast and complex reorganization of commerce and industry, there will arise unprecedented demands for trained men and women. That industrial and professional education, turning out armies of experts, is to have a large part in the giant enterprises of the new era we cannot doubt."
"The college is a place for the cultivation of humanistic interests and standards. It has no higher function than to impress upon every youth who enters its hospitable doors that he is a social being, and that he may not live to himself, whether in aristocratic or in intellectual isolation. The student must learn something of what mankind has achieved in science and philosophy, and something of the standards in morals and art that mankind has established through centuries of striving. In other words, his emotions must be touched to finer issues.
"Finally, the college is a place where young people who have not yet made the discovery may find their aptitudes."
Mr. Roe believes that thousands of students who have reached the age of 20 years have not yet found their apti-
Mr. Roe believes that these tools for unity in our social life and freedom for self-development in our individual ideals, has a part to play not less important than the part to be played by any other organization in the educational scheme. "But," he says, "that part ought to be re-stated by the colleges of tomorrow so that the significance of the education they offer shall be as clear and definite as the aims of the technical schools."
COLLEGE MUST RE-STATE PURPOSE
Mr. Roe defines the field of the college:
tudes, and that there should be this period of experimentation which a college education affords.
FOUR CLASSES OF STUDY
FOUR CLASSES OF STUDY
As a curriculum by which these aims may be realized, Mr. Roe suggests four fields which include the fundamentals of a college education: science, including mathematics; history, including economics and government; literature, including language; philosophy. He advises the study of Latin. "Not the other one language satisfies so many purposes as Latin, and its restoration is imperative if college training is to regain its old-time vigor." The study of these four fields in a secondary school should form a foundation for college training, Mr. Roe says. "When the curricular organization of secondary schools and colleges becomes fairly continuous and articulate, prospective college students will be regularly instructed as to the place and purpose of college education while they are yet in high school.
"But a college course, even the most carefully constructed will not work automatically. To be successful according to the standards of a new day, it must be sustained by an organized and co-ordained life on the past of students and faculty, comparable after its kind to that of the best industrial and commercial concerns of which we know."
MUDDING WITH ATHLETICS
Quoting from Mr. Slosson's book,
"Great American Universities," he says:
"The most vulnerable point in our collegiate system is the diversion of the interest of the student body from the true aims of the college. Social life, athletics, dissipation, and the multitude of other student activities have cut down to the minimum the attention given to their studies. For the last twenty years faculties, student bodies and committees, have wargreed over intercollegiate athletics, but they have not yet been suppressed because there have been many other distractions that the faculties have not known which to put down first, and like politicians, they have been content to muddle along with eligibility rules and point systems."
"The college has lost its definiteness of aim. One thing is certain. Unless under the pressure of new times and new standards the college as a non-professional institution will have no place unless its course of study can be justified as convincingly before the world as the courses in our vocational and professional schools, and unless the college can render to the democratic order of tomorrow a service that shall be recognized as essential to the individual and social well-being of man."
Laws Challenge Engineers To Debate on R.O.T.C
The students of the School of Law will debate with students of the School of Engineering on some phase of the course, for the contest has not been decided.
Wade Evans, George Strong, and Hamilton Fulton compose the committee from the School of Law that is to meet with a similar committee from their contestants to decide upon the question. The engineer's committee will be appointed Monday by the engineering societies.
"We expect it to be a big debate," said one of the law students, "and hope to hold it in Fraser Hall. The court probably be set for the first of April."

Prof. A. J. Boynton gave out this assignment to his class in economics the other day: "What effect has seignorage on the price of Bullion" Winfield Liggett misunderstood the assignment and wrote his paper on "What effect seignorage has on the price of bull dogs." Professor Boynton referred to bull dogs quite frequently in the next class period.

"All set for Monday night," is the substance of statements by Coach MacMurray and Manager Hangen after the rehearsal last night of "Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh," the Dramatic Club play, to be given at the Bowersock Theater next Monday night.
