WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1915
Let us have faith that right makes might; and in that faith let us to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.—Lincoln.
FERRUARY 12
A man whose nature was to forgive whose life was one of unblemished purity, the most unassuming of men, one with infinite jest on his lips and with saddest earnestness at his heart—the man, Abraham Lincoln, this year is understood with a keener realization, perhaps, than ever before, for the last twelve months mark the victorious end of another struggle to keep safe "the jewel of Liberty in the family of Freedom" toward which Lincoln did so much.
Lincoln's power of reason, his understanding, his exalted idea of the sense of right and equity and his intense veneration of what was right and good have for years been held as models and guides. Guides of such sorts are needed now at the end of this great victory as they were at the end of the Civil War.
We venerate more than ever his goodness and his statesmanship. He was never lead to fanaticism, was never carried away by enthusiastic zeal, and never hurried to support extreme measures. He was no respecter of persons and neither rank nor reputation nor services overwhelmed him. A child of the people, he had faith in their intuitions and he read those intuitions with rare sagacity.
The result of Lincoln's life and works now becomes a goal toward which the nation must work. In his time our country passed through fire and blood, through sorrows and the shadow of death to work out her deliverance. We have been spared much of that, but by the faithfulness of her sons, America must continue to prove that the present victory was deserved and worth the price.
"When you borrow, you lose a friend," said the wise student. A student who borrows has the feeling that his creditor is always eyeing him and about ready to approach him for the payment of the loan, while on the other hand, the creditor feels that the debtor is trying to avoid him at all times. College friends are often broken by these small loans.
A PLEA FOR PEP
A large body of students scattered over an undefined district, schools separated in their own buildings, no allowance for student meetings—and still we wonder at the lack of college spirit and pep.
We need the old time convocations
Lincoln's Library and Ours
FOR a man who read "every book he heard of within a circuit of
50 miles." and at that was limited to Murray's English Reader, the Bible, Aesop's Fables, Robinson Crusoe, The Pilgrim's Progress, a History of the United States, and Weem's Life of Washington, our University would seem an unending field of opportunities for research and reading. For the student who has the whole field of learning easily accessible, the University occasionally becomes somewhat of a bore.
In short, Abraham Lincoln, who read a few books by the light of a pine knot, was really a student, and considerably more of a student than the youth of the present generation, who have many educational advantages.
and rallies with their singing, rooting and discussion of student problems. In such a large institution where no chance is offered to get the students together, the need of All-University convocations is serious. It is directly connected with the deplorable lack of spirit which is so evident this year,
Many freshmen do not know what a convocation is. Many of them have never heard the Crimson and the Blue sung or the Rock Chalk rolled and echoed through Robinson Gymnasium. Few have heard the Engineers' falsetto version of "We Are the K. U. Laws."
We denounce the lack of organized cheering, the general listlessness in regard to college spirit, and the little effort expended by the cheerleaders. A big step to the solution of the problem is to resume the plan of regular All-University convocations.
Put the plan in effect and school unity and K. U. spirit will be back in all their strength.
All persons were born free and equal, but that does not seem to apply when a man holds a door open longer or lifts his hat higher for some women than for others.
PITY THE POOR PROF.
"Theses profs are getting too many cock-eyed ideas about what a fellow ought to do," declared the average student as he strode off the campus for lunch. Such is the undergraduate point of view. According to the average student the professor should have no ideas, should assign little if any work, should give no quizzes, and should lecture in a bright, entertaining, should art and unusual fashion, even if his subject happens to be Greek archeology.
If, however, the instructor really has no ideals, the student is equally disgusted. "It is no fun at all to go to Professor Blank's 'eight-thirty late,' one student has been heard to remark. "He doesn't jump on you at all, just beams and says good-morning. Why doesn't he get a little spirit and land all over us now and then?"
There seems to be no middle course which will please that coumisseur, the average student. Radical or conservative, stiff or easy, affable or grouchy—all types of instructors are cruelly criticised by the undergraduate. It is fortunate that the instructors do not mind, and consider such comment a part of their work.
LINCOLNISMS
If this country cannot be saved without giving up the principle of liberty, I would rather be assinated 'han援责它.
If this must be done, I must do it. Labour is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.
While all seems dead, the age itself is not. Under this seeming want of life and motion, the world does move, nevertheless.
If Abraham Lincoln were enrolled in the University of Kansas today, he would doubtless apply the fine art of elimination. Many phases and interests of student life would interest him, and many others he would recognize as a waste of time, energy, and intellect. He would not be the typical grind, because he was too interested in all kinds of people. He would spend some time in observation, and having a keen sense of humor, would profit by that observation and enjoy it.
No man is good enough to govern mother without that other's consent.
I don't know anything about money, and never had enough of my own to fret me.
I must study the plain physical facts of the case, ascertain what is possible, and learn what appears to be wise and right.
but I would rather be assassinated
I must not break our bonds of affection.
In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free.
The student who becomes so harassed that his work is no longer a pleasure should meditate on the methods of study Abraham Lincoln used. Concentration, application, and unfailing interest are the marks o the real student.
Campus Opinion
SAVE THE JOKES
Editor the Kansan:
This Column is Open to all Students of the University
Why is it that thoughtlessness seems to play a great part in the makeup of the average student? He does things which he wouldn't do it he had the time to think about how they look. And he does things which he would have to have somebody else do to him.
Not long ago a student went into the library after a hard day's work, took out four or five copies of Life and went over in the corner expect to enjoy the jokes. But somebody had beat him to it. Every joke that was worth a laugh had been torn or cut out. Some student had enjoyed them, but was not willing to leave them for the next fellow.
Aren't the magazines in the library put there for everybody? If you see a good joke that you think your friend would enjoy, bring the friend to the joke, don't take the joke to the friend. H. E.
LINCOLN IN TWELVE PLAYS
While the average playboy can recall Abraham Lincoln represented on the stage as an incidental though impressive personage in a very occasion drama, there have been, it appears, more Lincoln plays written than one might imagine. Mr. Judd Stewart, a New Jersey collector of Lincoln items, has in his library twelve plays in which the great President was represented. They begin as far back as 1862. One was printed in Coburg, Germany, and bears the odd-looking title "Lincoln Anfang, Gluck und Ende." Another, "The Tragedy of Abraham Lincoln," was printed in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1876. The last on the list is the most professional: "Abraham Lincoln, a Historical Drama," by Keekan Rankin and Archibald Forbes. It is preserved in manuscript and was presented in the autumn of 1892 at Louisville, Chicago, Pittsburg, Columbus, and Philadelphia, but failed to attract the public. -Christian Science Monitor.
Prohibitionists have especial reason to celebrate Lincoln's birthday anniversary this year, wherein they have scored the double victory of liquor drought both by constitutional amendment and as a military measure. Lincoln was a teetotaler. One of the first uses made of his ability to write as a boy was to prepare an argument for temperance. This argument has since been used to a member of Congress he said in 1854, in his forty-fifth year:*
HE DRANK ONLY WATER
To the committee appointed by the Republican National Convention at Chicago, May 16, 1860, to announce formally to Lincoln at his home in Springfield, Ill., his nomination for the presidency, he said:
do not in theory, but I do in fact belong to the temperance society; in this, to wit, that I do not drink any wine. We have not done so for very many years.*
"Gentlemen, we must pledge our mutual healths in the most healthy beverage which God has given to man. It is the only beverage allowed in my family, and I cannot conscientiously depart from it on the present occasion"—Philadelphia  Public-Ledger
