TUESDAY, MARCH 7, 1916. Pudd'nhead Wilson's Calendar Mark Twain IT IS CLASS MEMORIAL WEEK Mark Twain The holy practice. Friendship is of so sweet and steady and loyal and enduring a nature that it is hard to through, that it is time, if not through money. When you see a man or woman walking on the campus, wearing a little tag, you will know that it is some student who is loyal to his class. He has paid his memorial dues. Today is the beginning of the combined memorial campaigns of the three upper classes—seniors, juniors and sophomores. They are fighting to "keep green" the memory of their school life, in the years to come. Do you believe in memorials? How would you like to come back to the University sometime in the future, and in walking around the campus with some of your friends, looking at the remembrances and tokens that various classes of the past had left to their Alma Mater, hear someone ask you: "By the way, where is your class memorial?"—wouldn't you feel a little bit ashamed, if your class hadn't left one? Don't you want to be remembered? There are many plans proposed for the erection of a suitable memorial for the classes, but students may rest assured that if they give their support to the memorial committees, a fitting remembrance will be left to the University. The air of tradition and age and dignity in a school comes only from the memories of the past days—memories that are left about the campus—memories of the old classes, the "old-timers," the "good old days." One may help to keep these old memories by leaving a class memorial. On account of the scarcity of green dyes, the supply of green inks, blotters, and everything else green, is decreasing, says a news story. Will the College be able to harvest a crop of freshmen next fall? "AFTER THE WAR—WHAT?" Since early in the war the American newspapers and periodicals have told and retold of the vast wealth Americans are to reap as the result. And going further, platform speakers, and even our own chancellor, have told of the opportunity of the present day student to place American education institutions in the first rank as lead-in thought during the coming years. ing years. No doubt with little effort we will fail to touch as vast amounts of industrial wealth; but the laws of nature do not work so easily in regard to the leadership in thought, education, art, and science. Emerson has said in his essay on "Compensation" that all things tend to equalize themselves. This will hold true with European youth, now sacrificing commercial business to the Gods of War. The reaction during this conflict will tend to redouble the efforts of the mind in making new Of the English youth, S. P. B. Mais writes in the Nineteenth Century for January, "The Army Council quite naturally requests that all candidates for the regular army should not only have interests, but should be able to voice an order of duty manner . . . to hold widely and with profit . . . have read of the practical problems of life. advances in science, education, philosophy and literature. "There is no question that boy, read far more and far finer literature than they did before the war. . . . They study volumes of Keats and Shelley in juxtaposition with Rupert Brooks, Fleischmann-Wilfred Quirk, and War has brought home the meaning of beauty to us; we never really knew the soil of England as we do until we found that there was a chance of our being deprived of it or of our having to leave it forever. . . . Boys have gained something of the beauty about them, in the soughing air in the trees, in the quiet dim lights of the quadrangle after sunset, in the great, white, fleecy clouds driven across the sky by the omnipotent west wind, in the changing colours of autumn. They have filled us with a passionate frenzy, a divine longing and discontent, and they have earth in verse. * . . . Now boys jump suddenly into manhood. * * * He must have some outlet for emotions; he reads, he writes, * * * incidently he argues. * * * It is shown in debating. The debating is no longer buffoony. He is now passionate eager to drive home the new life. . . . They are becoming truly good speakers, * * lacking in self-consciousness, ready to attack authority which differs." The English writer concludes: "Freedom never deteriorates into license so naturally as after a rigid era of Puritanicism. How has has sickened me of pretenses." Whether England lives ... depends entirely upon the rulers of tomorrow. The rulers are more likely to uphear the schoolmasters of to-day. Can we say as much for our American youth? On looking about us there is to be seen only a slight reaction upon the European war. For eighteen months the United States has warned that the future of America is wealth, leadership and enlightenment; that the devastating European conflict would leave the field of science, art, literature and thought free from competition with American youth has taken too passive a view of the issues of the day; he fails as yet, to interpret the needs of the hour. Only slight interest has he shown in the field of debating, art, science and world politics, science, and military and naval problems. America may find at the close of the war, when the fields and cities on the continent lie devastated, that she holds the purse-strings of the world's trade and industry, but she may at the same moment find that, without the greater price, her outcast—that worn torn Europe will have produced the greater men in the field of education art, literature, and science. Did you ever try to prove your identity over the telephone when the young lady was sure that someone was fooling her? When not busy, try it! Wilson won 68 to 14 in the Senate right. That proves nothing. We beat he Aggies 66 to 19 in a track meet, but——. What will we do to the Cornhuskers next fall? They signed a new coach and now Guy Chamberlain has "taken on" a professional baseball contract. Some big engineer has discovered that there is too much sediment in Lawrence water to make it fit for fire protection. The "common stude" knew that long ago. Recent figures of noted statisticians have proved beyond a doubt that fifty per cent of our parents have been women. FOUND IN A BOOK "The longer I live," said Farwhey Burton, whose name is connected in philanthropy with that of Wilberforce, "the more certain I am that the great difference between men, between the feeble and the powerful, the great and insignificant, is energy—invicible determination—a purpose once posed, and unity will do any victory; that can be done in this world; and no talents, no circumstances, no opportunities will make a two-legged creature, a man without it."-Frank Channing Haddock. A Corner for the Library Browser Mary Smith, '19 College, entertained the Alemannia girls Thursday night with a spread. There were so many did it alone, so I sampled it all, and since the "eat" came from home they surely tasted good. NAW! NOTHIN'! Nowhere to come but here, No how to come but ride. Nothing to think but wish. That she was by your side. Nothing to pay but cash, Nothing to start but school, Nothing to ask but questions, Nothing to look—but a fool. Nothing to study but books, Nothing to take but notes, No one to fuss but girls With jewels at their throate. One thing we have noted about plans is their pedestrian propensity, if we may call it such. The great and only way to begin a story is as follows: "Plans are no other means of locomotion. Any good, healthy plan, of course, need not be ashamed to be seen on foot; it strengthens the muscles of the feet and increases exercise to any unscown and overworked plan.

"The winning of success is a personal battle. It is more pluck than scream." It is a matter of common report that the students of the University of Kansas are somewhat sceptical of the senior class memorial proposition. The concension of opinion and seeming consensus among the memorials classes and the plans and methods by which these memorials have been consummated are not satisfactory. To put the matter concisely, the members of the senior class feel that there is no money to pay the money which has been contributed for these memorials. "What is near you that can be improved?" Improve it! "Don't stare into vacancy! Don't divide your attention!" An alumnus of Wesleyan has recently presented the University with eight new tennis courts. This inadequate return might come from several reasons. The committee might be inefficient as to their judgment of the character, plan, and materials which are made use of the construction of the memorial. Continuing overcharge and use unreachable material. The inevitable rush of the last few months of the school year may cause too much haste and the use of slipshod methods on the part of the committee. In short a number of causes may prevent the performance of the memorial. For this reason it would seem to be a fair proposition that this class memorial question be given some serious consideration, in order to assure success. It would seem advisable that the president of the senior committee训ize the committee of his memorial committee. Its plans and operations should be given publicity and the they should be placed within the knowledge of the entire senior class. An active campaign should be carried on, accompanied by adder, vertising. The present committee is complying in the contract involved in carefully, and every member be required to do his part of the committee's work. Lastly, an auditing committee composed of at least one faculty member, preferably the registrar of the University should be contracted for the execution of the material, both as to its price and the material used in its construction. The accounts should be carefully audited, to insure against overcharging for labor and material costs. PLANS On the other hand, a plan might sometimes take to the tiltizize or the interurban. Even horseback riding can, it seems to us, be recommended to any sound and logical plan. But no; "a plan is on foot for doing such-and-such a thing." Plans can become a thing if they could probably ride their supporters to death. So, it is best to leave them "on foot," where they can not get hurt, or injure their advocates—Indiana Daily Student.
