Bell K. U. 25. The Daily Kansan aims to picture the understudy in Kansas; to go further than merely printing the name of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be gloomy; to be angry; to leave more serious problems to wiser neads in all, to make the students of the University. TIIURSDAY, MARCH 23, 1916. Pudd'nhead Wilson's Calendar Mark Twain October 12th, 1831. Very early. It was have been more valuable to miss it. LOYALTY AND SONG LOYALTY AND SONG Last night as I leaned from my win dow, High over the darkling street A song came floating upward, Broken and incomplete. A snatch of melody—a bit of a rollicking college song hummed by a careless group of college men as they saunter down the street—only that. But the tired householder sitting on his steps draws deep on his pipe and smiles reflectively, for he was once a college man. A block up the street, a house with darkened windows filled with breathless girls awaits the serenaders. Suddenly a chorus of high clear voices thrills through the still night. Senior women are singing "The Crimson and the Blue," on the Museum steps. Heads bared, the careless serenaders stand in the street listening. In the shadow of a tree a hobo snatches his cap from his head—he too was once a college man. College loyalty and love for Alma Mater? The householder knows what that song means. The tramp knows what it means. But college men and women only know it is spring and they must sing. THE WELL-KNOWN SIGN THE WELL-KNOWN SIGN Who first said: "Let's beautify the campus?" The records are lost, but it is safe to say that the person who first started the movement was not too lazy to go around by the walks and save the grass as much as possible. At this season when the grass is just starting, paths can be easily made that will spoil the appearance of the green for the entire season. There is no doubt about the campus needing trees and shrubs to beautify it. These things will come in time. While we are waiting, why not "Keep Off the Grass"? EVERY DAY A "SHOW DAY" Did you ever stop to think how many strangers visit the University every year? There are thousands of them, from all over the state, and from other states and universities. Men of affairs, business men, state leaders, university students and professors, students from the Kansas high schools and fathers and mothers of K. U. men and women. They come with eyes open to every angle of the University and its students. They see the good things about the school, and they do not overlook the bad things. Last week several hundred high school students spent several days on the Hill and they received many impressions. The University did its best to entertain them and impress them, so that they would go back home with glowing tales about the great school down at Lawrence. K. U. put on her Sunday-best and tried to make the high school boys and girls want someday to be K. U. students. . But the idea of showing off when we have visitors should not be forgotten after the basketball tournament, or the track meet or any other all-state event. The number of visitors on an ordinary school-day such as today, is large. A business man, who in his travels has been passing through Lawrence for years, but has not visited the University, may decide to drop off and "climb the Hill." He is impressed by the ideal location of the institution and the character of its students and, when he returns home, will tell his associates and family what he saw. Every day should be "show day" with the University student. Good conduct and good manners should always prevail. That noise we now hear mornings; is a tennis racket. And now the latest's that Miss Joy Jenott of Alaska hooked a huge salmon at the risk of being drowned; cleaned, cooked and canned the fish and sent a can each to the president, members of the cabinet and the forty-eight governors of the states. In this use the donor did not draw an exclusive line at the presidency, but Mr. Wilson got his share, and a very liberal and sufficient amount considering it it was salmon. A PRESIDENT'S ADVANTAGES With all the worries and troubles incident thereto there is one advantage in being president of the United States: someone is always thoughtful enough to send him something to eat. At Christmas time we read of his receiving the finest turkey in the land. In the summer time some kind citizen donates a crate of the biggest strawberries ever grown. The custom of sending the choiceest products of the land to the president is probably a wise one. Otherwise with all the slaps and slams' and troubles that seem to be coming, in increasing amounts, to the head of the nation, the position of chief executive will soon lose its attractiveness to the rising generation. The wise father will not neglect to mention to his promising young son the turkey and strawberries and cake that are part and part of the high position. This may save the office from going begging. Observations Hermeneutical About Things Academical Five of the warring nations in Europe are represented by students enrolled at the University of Minnesota. Sie 'em! Northwestern University has recently acquired a new debating coach by the name of Larder. Can't you hear the Evanstonians chuckling about bringing home the bacon? David Starr Jordan will speak to the "Pewish" women of San Francisco next Monday, announces the woman, how endless are their varieties! Indiana University students are being treated to a surprisingly large number of Theda Bara pictures this spring at the movies, observes the Indiana Daily Student. Surely, Indiana is no place for a nervous man. All Illinois students with O apostrophe before their names met March 17 to celebrate the birthday of St. Patrick. And without a blush or a tear the Illini goes on to say that the evening passed off without a scrap. Harvard athletic managers are considerably disturbed over the continued and streny disappearance of gym boys, who really must have handchiefs! The senior class at Nebraska is offering a prize to the man or woman who can write the best ten-line poem about the class. It can't be did! We All Do It She: "How terribly unsympathetic that umpire is!" (""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""") She: "Why, when the whole grand-stand was yelling itself hoarse over Finky's perfectly splendid home run, all he said was 'Fair'." —E. W. H. (There used to be a good joke here but the editor saw it first!) 1 x ? = x y z - 1 1 ? Send the Daily Kansan home. SONG And one, one surely, will look up and hear and wake. O singing heart, think not of aught save song; Weigh not the rapture; measure not nor afft POETS CORNER FOUND IN A BOOK He walked to the farm in long strides. This, then, was the outcome of his first morning's work as curate here. Things had gone fairly well with him. He had been ordained; he was in a comfortable parish, where he could spend much of his vision, the rector being infirm. He had made a deep impression at starting, and the absence of a hood seemed to have done him no harm. Moreover, by considerable persuasion and payment, his father and the dark womens' ward were where they were not likely to interfere greatly with his interests. Let but the inviolable music shake Golden on golden flake. Rosa came to meet him. "Ah you should have gone to church like a good girl," he said—Life's Little Ironies—Hardy. God's dark, delirious gift; But deaf to immortality or gain Give as the shining rain Thy music pure and swift, They music pure and swift. A Corner for the Library Browser and here on, there, sometime, some where,'twill reach the grain. —William Alexander Percy. In France alone 25,000 of them are working on railroads as porters, cleaners, conductors and agents, and it is said that never have there been such cleanliness and care in the city. The public is receiving at the hands of those women. The growing frequency with which many persons are beginning to speak of the aftermath of the war indicates that the end is in sight. They are no longer discussing who started the war and will the world be like after the war. WITH OUR SCISSORS A college, the average high school student has the impression, is a place where all the "good fellows" get together, give college yellos almost unceasingly, walk to classes with their arms locked, wear hats turned up in short short trousers or attend classes when there are no football games. where, 'twill reach the grain. —William Alexander Percy. JUDGING A COLLEGE What will the women be doing? Leave it to them—something worth while you may be sure. What are they doing while the war is going on? Run through the streets, streetcars; caring for the sick and wounded and helping to bury the dead; filling all the eight beatitudes as they haven't been filled before; carrying crops; writing books and music and editing newspapers. They're working in the munitions factories and rolling bandages and keeping brave hearts and cool heads while their "men folks" each other to pieces like hungry; wolves. Stories of college life in nearly all fiction have given the background for this impression. The motion picture college "chappies" are also of the "rah-rah" type. When persons living away from a school town see the University students, it is when armbands and cans and yellow are supposed to come to Columbia, it is usually to a football game or at least at a time when the student is far from his normal college life—University Missouri. The graduate students at Cambridge have organized an M. A.'s platoon, and have been drilling and fortifying a bridge guarding—Harvard Crimson, WOMEN AFTER THE WAR After the war is over the women who have homes to return to will return and those who haven't will go about making their living after the efficient manner of women in all when comes reconstruction after a devastating war. There will be more of them in public life, fewer of them follow them as a result of less resistance to the altar. There will be more courtesy, more independence of thought, and more mutual appreciation, arrived at now as the "court lady" rubs elbows with the "scrub lady."—University Missouri, The effect of the war on English universities is strikingly illustrated by a set of figures given in the Cambridge Review, relating to Cambridge University. This article states that the students in the university, perhaps in the university, as compared with 1,237 at this time last year and a normal enrollment of about 3,000. The article states further that 1,723 Cambridge men had been put out of action up to January 18. Of these 697 had been killed, 892 wounded, or mentioned in dispatches, totaled 714, of whom three had been awarded the Victoria Cross, 52 the D. S.'s, 100 had received Military Croses, 240 in Russian, Russian and Serbian decorations.

The Home of Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes PECKHAM'S What does Johann Sebastian Bach stand for in music? He stands for much the same thing that the old formal garden stands for in landscape architecture, that the saraband or minuet stands for in dancing, that the best of Pope stands for in literature. His themes are precise, formal, almost mathematical. Restraint and adherence to form are never forgotten. And yet what feeling, what depth, what a wealth of poetry and beauty breathe under this formal mask! Yes, and always the mode and perfume of another age—the age of the harpsichord and flute, of the court of Louis of France, of the stately balls at Versailles.
