Published in the afternoon five times titled 'A review from the press of Department of Medicine'. The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate in a role, to go further than the university to go further than the University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be gentle; to be generous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to increase the ability of the students of the University. THURSDAY. APRIL 6. 1916. THE HORSE AND HIS MASTERS A gardener had a Horse. She had megan to pray to God to get another man to garden. She sold the horse to a potter. The Horse was gaid but the potter had even sold the horse to a gardener, the Horse complained of her lot and the Horse was better master. And this prayer, too, was fulfilled. The potter sold the Horse to megan, who skipped of horses in the tanner's yard. WHAT THE "GRIND" MAKES "Beo to me, wretched one! It would be worse if I could stay with my old master. If I could have my sons you have said not for work, but in your skin's sake-"Lee Tolstoi.-Aesop. WHAT THE ORIGIN LINKS Which student succeeds better out in "real" life; the man who makes Phi Beta Kappa, or the one who is a "hale fellow well met"? The question is asked again and again, and various answers are given. From figures which a Harvard alumnus obtained after searching for Harvard names in "Who's Who," the former theory seems to be the correct one. The man who leads his class seems to have had a better chance of getting into America's "red book" of illuminous names. Of the nine thousand Harvard graduates who have had an opportunity of appearing in "Who's Who," 1,305 are found there. But no less than 22 out of 30 of the "first" students are there. Men who were among the first ten in the class in scholarship have 41.5 per cent mentioned; and those who took their degrees "summa cum laude" have 42.5 per cent of their number among the famous. There must be something in scholarship standing after all. That poet who wrote about "women's fearless eye" must have had some acquaintance with faculty women. WHY DO THEY GO? We are all strong believers in Kansas—the state itself, and its institutions. Kansas has always been the state where men and women do things. Scan the magazine indexes tomorrow and read what her sons and others outside the state are saying about her. Economists, statesmen, politicians—all to allure her, cite her practises in illustrations, place her on the pedestal of the public idol. Her university has frequently received a little of this prestige, more often a different kind. Crowded class rooms, loss of recognized instructors, inadequate facilities, small appropriations by the legislature, need of more buildings—all of these have contributed to this prestige of a different kind. Yet the University improves, as does everything in the state of Kansas. Each year records an increased enrollment. But, while the enrollment increases here, students are passing through Lawrence going to other state universities. As far south as Louisiana and Virginia, and as far west as California Kansas young men and women travel to enroll in the state universities there. The University of Michigan received 49 Kansans last year. The University of Missouri registered 14, Ohio State 4, Virginia and Louisiana state universities one each, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Leland-Stanford, all more than five each. What is the matter with the University of Kansas that her own men and women will travel from her to study in other states? Have they the faith in her and her university that we have? Or is it just a case of "distance lends enchantment"? THE LITTLE THINGS A visitor to Lawrence took a street car going to the campus. Having heard of the beautiful scenery from the top of Mt. Oread, the visitor peered through the windows of the car, as he approached the Hill, but could see nothing but a blur without. Not until he stepped from the car to the platform alongside Robinson Gymnasium did he realize the grandeur of the view. The annual window washing and spring housecleaning which the street car company is supposed to give its cars is long over due. It's the little things that count. HAVE YOU A COMPLAINT? How about it Mr. Kansan Reader: are you satisfied with the way old K. U. is being run? Are you satisfied with your instructors, with the way the grass grows, with the different aspects of student life and activity? In other words, do you want certain institutions, and certain traditional methods of accomplishing results, or not accomplishting them, changed? If you have anything on your mind, unburden it to the Kansan. The Campus Opinion over in the third column is yours to do with you will. All the Kansan asks is that you sign your name as a matter of good faith, and that you do not go beyond the grounds of common decency. So be you Senior, Faculty, Junior, Special, Freshman, or sophomore, let's hear the excuse for that grouch you're carrying around. Air it—but don't make the communication too long, and drop it in the Daily Kansan box over in Fraser Hall. The following is from the Chanute Tribune: TWICE TOLD—BUT WORTH IT Sarcasm is the sour cream of wit—Columbia Jester. New York Boy: "Yer a liar." Boston Youth: "You are a New Haven director."—Ex. "Harry would dance perfectly bu for two things." Possum: "Tubby, I don't see how you can be so lazy." Student: "Decayed teeth cause eye strain." Mr. Jennison in physics: "What is steam?" Tubby: "Ah, it's not so hard."- Exchange. "I'm sorry, but Brutus took it "with good while ago," replied the solemn Slim Aggas: "Water gone crazy with heat."—College Widow.

Fresh Waiter: "Some little bird told you, I suppose." Francis William Bourdillon was born in Woolbedding in 1852. He received his education at Worcester College, Oxford, and was afterwards a private tutor to the sons of the Prince and Princess Christian. POET'S CORNER The night has a thousand eyes. THE NIGHT HAS A THOUSAND THINGS EYES And the day but one; You have the bright night world dies With the dying sun. The mind has a thousand eyes, And the heart but one. Yet the light of a whole life dies When love is done. One more time, Dear Lord. HE WAS GIVEN A JOB The mind has a thousand eyes, and the heart but a pair. A small boy entered an office in N. Y. the other day, very early in the morning, when the merchant was reading the paper. The latter glanced up and went on reading. After three minutes the boy said: When love is done. —Francis William Bourdillon. "Excuse me, but I'm in a hurry." What do you want?" he was asked. "Why do you want?" "You do? " Well. "snorted the man of business, "why are you in such a burt?" "Got to hurry," replied the boy. "I left school yesterday to go to work, and haven't struck anything yet. I can't waste time. If you've got nothing for me, say so, and I'll look elsewhere." "When can you come?" asked the surprised merchant. “Don’t have to come,” he was told. “I’m here now, and would have been to work before this if you’d said so.”— Exchange.

CAMPUS OPINION Communications must be signed as evidence of good faith but names will not be published without the writer's consent I understand that an attempt is being made to get Billy Sunday to come to Lawrence and speak to the students during his campaign at Kansas City. I have been wondering if the University of Kansas really ought to have Billy Sunday come and speak here. Of course, right now he is attracting a great deal of attention because he is the course bound to gain him popularity among a certain class of people. Aside from this, however, we must remember that Sunday is a professed minister of the Gospel of Christ and that should be the reason we would have him speak to us—if we would. And do the students of the University approve of this one: Little girl, you look so small Don't you wear no clothes at it? Don't you wear no skirt? Don't you wear no petty skirt? Don't you wear no underclothes. But what about Mr. Sunday's method of preaching? What about the language he uses, the comparisons he makes, the pictures he draws? How does he use the language that would appeal to a University student? To be concrete take a few examples of the things Mr. Sunday says durin his campaigns. Here is on from his meetings at Philadelphia, January 8; Little girl,you look so small "When I am at heaven's gate I'll be free from old Philly's blood. I can see now the Day of Judgment and of me Philadelphia and of me is taken up by God. "I gave them their message, Lord I gave it to them the best way I could and I understood it. You go get the files of the Philadelphia mormons and printed my sermons Lord. You'll see what I preached," will be my answer. 'You were down in Philly, weren't you Billy?' the Lord would ask me. And I'll say to him, 'Yes, sir, ord. I was there.' Some of Mr. Sunday's remarks are actually digging. For instance, when he said "If I were the wife of some of you men, I'd refuse to clean their old spittoons. I say let every hog clean his own trough." 'Did you give them any message of salvation, Billy?' Is this the sort of language we have been taught to use when speaking reverently of God? Does it not require a mail box that Mr. Sunday is too familiar? Is this the kind of language we want a minister of the opel to use in a talk before the students of the University of Kanaa? And the Lord will say, 'Come on in, blood' you're free from Philadelphia's blood. Varsity Fifty Five Copyright Hart Schaffner & Marx Coach Harry-Up Yost, of Michigan, believes that the barring of freshmen from athletics is the reason that the big universities show to such a disadvantage in their games with the smaller schools. More than 2,000 specimens of mammals and reports on hundreds of birds have been given to the University of Wisconsin. They are Kellogg and Miss. Annie Alexander. They are both university women. The specimens were gathered in the wilds of northern California, and include a new variety of mountain goats, as well as flying squirrels. Two Oregon snowshoe rabbits were also found. But your cornet and your hose? Other universities have refused to ask them. What do their students and why? Why did Princeton refuse to ask him to come? PECKHAM'S The state of Nevada has been granted by the United States senate 7,000,000 acres of land for the benefit of the public schools and of the university. At Washington rallies, the attendance of all the fraternity men is checked up as well as the number of freshman and sophomores. A "pep" list is published in the daily giving the statistics. The trustees of the University of Pennsylvania have granted the petition of students asking for the installation of a course in military training at the university under the direction of the war department. According to the preaching of the pacifists the student body at this University must be largely made up of vons of munition makers. "Roughneck Day" was celebrated March 15 at the State Agricultural College. It is a festival day for the airing of old clothes, since the college began dressing as "Weary Willies" to escape the penalty of being paddled. From Other Campuses If Nebraska cannot play football with schools outside the Missouri Valley Conference, then, according to the Daily Nebraskan, there will be a strong demand for the Cornhusker to throw off the shackles of the Conference. This year's Yale graduates are organizing their New York City Yale Club before they get out of school. Any member of the class who expects to live in New York City is eligible to membership. The University of Nebraska is agitating a single tax of three dollars a semester paid by each student registering. The proceeds of the tax would amount to about $1,500. The money would be divided among the different student organizations to aid in their support. A regular suit for regular fellows Regal Shoes. The home of Hart Schaffner and Marx Clothes.
