The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go for further than merely printing the books by stating their holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to full; to help; to learn; to be courteous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; to ability the students of the University.

HONOR UNTO WHOM
Since the time of the great Italian universities of the 16th century the historic home of medical schools has been in universities. The lowest ebb of the medical profession occurred during those years in which medical schools were separated from universities, and in the last decade in which cime universities and medical schools have been more generally united there has been a renaissance in the practice of medicine.
During these years and centuries it has been proved conclusively that it is necessary for the advance of medicine that the work of the schools of medicine should go hand in hand, wherever possible, with the work of the various other schools of the university. In the first place no student is mentally equipped to enter the school of medicine before he has had two years of college work. The sciences of the college such as chemistry related to such sciences in the chemistry, zoology and physics are intischool of medicine as bacteriology, pharmacology, physiology, neurology, and physiological chemistry. It is therefore fundamentally important to the medical school that it should be united under the roof of a university with the other schools.
- * * * * * * *
Few people ignorant of the profession, ignorant of the needs of the state and ignorant of the benefits which have resulted to the state from the school of medicine comes frequent opposition to the maintenance of a medical school by the state university. Such people consider the cost of the maintenance of the Rosedale hospital, divide this cost by the number of graduates and conclude that the cost of a medical education is too great for the state to bear.
They forget that the fault is their end and their politician's if the cost of upkeep of charitable and state institutions is so great. If it were not that the state institutions for the insane, epileptic, feeble minded and tuberculous are so widely scattered, the state would have been able to save more than the cost of the Rosedale hospital and the medical school by having medical students take the place of attendants at these institutions.
If the medical school were abolished from the University and medical students were forced to go elsewhere for their education, Kansas would lose far more than her people realize. The large number of students who are now preparing to enter the profession and carry their knowledge to their communities would not be able to afford to pay the high tuition required at
foreign institutions and the health of kansas would suffer accordingly.
--is the way that doctors come to be.
The slab of rock is now being cleaned and polished for the Museum,
and will very probably be a great drawing card for the University. It will be on exhibition every afternoon from 3:00 to 5:00 o'clock. The cost of admission will be $ .50. Tickets may be purchased from the office of the Daily Kansan.
The work of a state school of medicine consists not only in the training of professional men. It has the double function of training medical students and of disseminating medical knowledge to the people of the state. The people of Kansas will probably never be able to appreciate the benefits derived from the school of medicine because the great majority of them do not come in contact with the work.
Because the regaining of eyesight or straightening of a crooked limb or spine cannot be estimated in dollars and cents, the value of the Rosdale hospital cannot be estimated by the general public. What goes into the hospital in dollars and cents from the tax payers of the state is returned by the hospital in another form. And because the students of medicine of the University of Kansas do not repay this value to each individual taxpayer of Kansas, a large number of these same taxpayers think the state cannot afford to support a school of medicine.
That 3,183 mile speech of the Chancellor's might remind students in English "lit" of the sermons of Jeremy Taylor.
UNIVERSITY GOLF LINKS
The present agitation to obtain a golf links for the University should be unnecessary, but since it seems to be decidedly necessary, it is to be hoped that the links will be in shape for use by the time spring makes good weather for the great Scotch game.
The action of the superintendent of grounds, John Shea, in offering half the needed six hundred dollars from his department funds, is appreciated by every lover of the game in the University and it is to be hoped that the students will make ample use of the links when they are ready for use.
GOOD LUCK, JAY
The retirement of Jay Bond, as assistant coach of the University football squad, can not but strike sorrow into the hearts of many of those fans who have been following the K. U. gridiron game for years.
Jay has probably as wide an acquaintance among football players and officials as any man in the Valley, and they are all his friends. For ten years he has lived and thought K. U. football twenty-four hours a day and he has helped develop some of the greatest men who have ever booted an oval on McCook field.
Whatever line of endeavor Jay Bond enters he will have a host of friends to wish him success and to assist him. He is a good sportman, and he will be missed at the University.

OUR FAVORITE POETS
MAN!
Thou, too sail on; O Ship of State!
Humanity with all its fears,
with all its years,
is hanging breathless on thy fate;
What Workmen wrought the ribs of
Who made each mast, and sail,
And what avail rang, what hamsters beat
Were shaped the anchors of thy hope.
Were shaped the building of the Ship;
by Longfellow.
Man is that part of the animal kingdom that furnishes experience and amusement for the medical profession. If it were not for man, doctors would be absolutely without an occupation.
But the medical profession does not seem to appreciate this fact. Instead of being grateful to man for being created and expressing that gratitude in terms of free service, the haughty practitioner of today charges for the slightest claim upon his time and attention. The times are surely out of joint, as Shakespeare said.
You call up a doctor with the greatest unselfishness in the world, tell him you can probably afford him a little amusement if he comes out to see you. But what happens? Instead of falling upon your neck and calling you blessed, he pours the most loathsome medicine down your throat, threatens you with a knife, and—most cruelest cut of all—presents you with a bill that makes you wish you had died just to spite him.
Man is the most downtrodden of all creatures. Whether you die in an attic, a palace or a cellar, someone is sure to call a doctor for you to amuse in your last moments, and after you have settled down for a quiet eternity of communication with nature, some one digs you up for a skeleton. They discover that one arm bone was longer than the other, and then you begin once more to afford amusement for the whole medical profession.

HOW ADAM GOT HIS DOCTOR
An interview with Adam himself came to light this morning when a great blast in the rock quarry exposed a slab covered with queer art and translated by a member of the faculty who does not wish his name made public. The interview, which was evidently first published in the Paradise Review, is a valuable con- tribution to art, literature and science.
For many years reports have been issued from time to time all claiming to establish accurately the origin of the medical profession. The interview and statements of Adam now living in Kansas, the author of mere faking, and the slab locates Kansas as one of the historic spots mentioned in Biblical literature.
All went well until Eve became interested in snake charming and jungle politics. Then affairs of the home began to pull upon her, and she no longer took a keen interest in Adam's troubles. With the result that when he was grown up by his horous vorson, Eve felt that she could not be bothered with fussing over him.
The origin of the medical profession has now been fully established. According to Adam a series of events led up to its establishment which were intimately connected with the domestic affairs of the first family. It seems that Adam was one day bitterly severely by a Rinky-dink-saucer. It was Adam's frog friend in the town of Edens and greatly disconcerted him. Man-like, he wanted sympathy, and the Creator, wishing to oblige him presented him with a help-meet constructed from one of Adam's own ribs.
The Creator came to his rescue again. After making sure that Adam was firm in his resolve not to supply another rib, the Creator looked over him and said he did not mind. And finally settled the matter by calling one of his angels to him.
Adam was amazed at the turn which affairs had taken in Eden, and pondered the question until he grevy quite weak and wan. He felt that he could not spare another rib, and could think of no solution to his difficulty.
"There seems to be a great need for a doctor down there on Earph, he said, "and the only thing to do is learn about it," of Course I don't like to do things like this, but I think it is the only thing to be done under the circumstances."
And so, according to Adam, that is the way that doctors come to be.
A HISTORY OF HOSPITALS
A HISTORY
Poverty is made for the care of the sick in all modern civilized countries. This includes the care of the sick of all classes of society, the poor, those of moderate means, and the wealthy. This care is provided by the government, religious organizations, or private endowments and gifts.
The present situation is an evolution from the past. In the middle ages, this duty was relegated to religious duties and grants to hospitals and colleges. Finally, governments supported aylums for the insane in which the barest service was rendered. Immates were chained to the insane as a punishment. Later hospitals for other than the insane appeared; this development continued until today the proper care of the sick and the practice of preventive medicine are considered an important city, county and state government.
Separate asylums for the epileptic, the weak-minded, the insane; schools for the deaf and blind, hospitals for acute surgical and medical cases, for deformed children, for those suffering from cancer and from leprosy, and within the last few years hospitals for those suffering from tuberculosis have been erected and maintained by the various units of this and other governments. So far, social organization has so much such provisionary; for in no state or social unit is wealth so uniformly distributed that every one is possessed of the private means to meet the expenses of such care.
In Kansas, a state that boasts that its banks contain the greatest amount of wealth per capita of any state in the union, the poor greatly out-number the wealthy or even the well-to-do; and the dictates of humanity demand relief for these sufferers.
JUST LIKE KANSAS
Although attention has been speciifically called to the condition of the showers in the Gymnasium, nothing has been done to put them in usable condition. With one of the finest systems of showers of any university in the country, it is unfortunate that they have not been made available by such a state of affairs. If they flow at all, are either scalding hot or ice cold, generally the latter.
There are many cases of which we are personally aware, where athletes have refrained from using the showers because of the evil results. There are also those who do not gripe are considered to have resulted from the use of them. One prominent athlete was confined to his home with pleurisy and was unable to participate in an intercollegiate event, his comings traceable to the use of ice shoes.
When a man pays his athletic fee he expects and is entitled to the use of the equipment furnished by the University; when he stands under a shower with one little stream of fire cold water tricking down his neck, he is not seeing his money's worth. —Syracuse Daily Orange
A law student wonders if there may be some connection between the fact that twenty-five University women are taking elementary law and that there is a yearly increase in divorces in the United States.
The University of Michigan must be a particularly aristocratic school. Recently the students have been protesting because Ann Arbor merchants are selling toques of the kind worn by university students, to cab drivers.
Waiter (in German): "Wasser?" American Girl (flustered): "No Wellesley." -Purple Cow.
