The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the text on paper, so that the University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be generous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to teach them the ability to the students of the University.

THE "SHAME OF KANSAS"
It is with sincere regret that the University of Kansas allows Prof. Carl Becker to leave the institution. He is one of the keenest men in the faculty in all lines of activity. His place will be hard to fill, even if the leading men of the country are candidates.
By his scholarly treatises on historical subjects,he has attracted attention over the whole United States. His essay on "Kansas" has been widely-quoted and is of especial interest to Kansans.
The authorities at the University have been feeling for a long time that sooner or later some of the larger schools would let their desire for Professor Becker's services become so strong that there would be no holding him here.
It will be with the greatest reluctance that it lets him go—if, indeed, the Board of Administration finally decides to accept his resignation. If there is any inducement that could be held forth that would keep him at the University of Kansas, the Board ought by all means to take steps to offer it to him.
The conditions that bring about the University's inability to hold such men might be termed the "shame of Kansas."
The University of Kansas has been noted for the many great men that have from time to time been associated on its faculty, and Professor Becker is one of them. He has done as much as any other one man to make the name of Kansas respected among the universities of the country. His services are too valuable to lose.
If Professor Becker does leave, the University will sustain a loss from which it will be hard to recover.

NOT ONLY CULTURE
The one big, significant fact that has struck the average Kansas through the press reports of the Merchants' Week that has just closed is the dollars and cents benefit that the University is offering the business men of Kansas.
To try to put a specific value on the general benefits that the University of Kansas offers the state through the spread of culture, would be comparable to an effort to place a market value on the air we breathe.
But when the University brings the big men of the country together at one time for the express benefit of the merchants of the state, the value of the institution becomes more real to them.
The Merchants' Week is just one of the many activities of the University that have for their purpose direct aid
to the people of Kansas. And in this way many are brought to see that there is another important side to the University other than the cultural.
"The Haul of Fame"—Sheridan's Ride.
LOOK OUT. MISSOURI
The pleasant little track meet that was held last week with the Emporia Normalms caused the students of the University to allow their thoughts to stray forward to that memorable date in March when the annual Missouri-Kansas speed-fest is held. Within the memory of man, there has been just once that the speed of the Jayhawkers was of sufficient lasting quality to outdo the Tigers, in in-door meets.
But the broad smile that Coach Hamilton is wearing these days causes the thinking student to pause—and wonder. The one question is whether there is sufficient material to turn out the quality of track team that is necessary to duplicate the performance of 1913. If the material is there, Coach Hamilton will bring it out.
We are none too prone to toss out bouquets, but it is a recorded fact that whenever there is sufficient material, W. O. Hamilton, carelessly called William Omar, turns out a championship aggregation. And when there is not, he still manages to make things decidedly interesting for any opponent.
So it is with unusual interest that the students of the University of Kansas await the fatal (for Missouri) day in March.
Our idea of a poor job would be to cut up paper for the snow storm at a cabaret dance.

KEEPING UP WITH LIZZIE
The Roosevelts have sailed to visit the scenes of the Spanish-American battles, leaving America temporarily unprepared.
The problem of increasing farm products to keep pace with the growing population is dependent upon having plenty of farmers. Both factors are closely related to education; the teachers teach people how to do their work, but they don't dust their lives, their community as well as their personal affairs. Mr. Leake would put into the educational program all the latest devices for making life more attractive in the rural areas. The needed reforms to regenerate agriculture are well presented, and several examples have been pointed out to show that practical results may really be attained—Independent.

**ENVEN CURDULA**
What the name may sound no more
Across the laughter of your days,
What though our little paths of yore
You may remember for other ways,
The force of radiant eyes you see
When glory's morn is round you blowing
And brighter smiles to yours are glowing.
When you are sad, remember me.
Twill even be gladness should you know
A faithful love and share a dream
Wherein no part is mine—but oh,
There is a torment most extreme
Will wrangle the very ghost I'll be—
You despair, or think me sleeping
If sorrow's vigils you are keeping—
When you are sad, remember me.
LOVE'S CODICIL
Modern up-to-the-minute essays as published in the "New Republic" will be studied this semester by the Rhetoric II class of Prof. Percy Ellis. Essay reading is a part of Rhetoric I; two essays of having his students read old time classics, Professor Shoste decided on essays on modern subjects.
Surely it was not the English department!

THE FRAT'S PLACE
Fraternity life and the existence of fraternities are justifiable only when the members realize that the special privileges which they enjoy make them more likely to be a citizen in a very special way. To the extent that the fraternity man (or woman) responds to the demands made upon him as a member of university life, he is therefore true to his fraternity and himself. Fraternity life has many beautiful things in connection with it, the friendships, the associations and all that goes to increase man's happiness with these. Fraternity is not with man. These are its privileges.
"K. U, 15, please," calls a student yesterday afternoon.
"Thank you. Good bye," says the student.
But at the beginning the pledge should know that the fraternity is not the most essential thing in a college life, it is a delightful incident, but at the same time it is incidental. The fraternity has its own sense of its widest sense. The problem is to keep the fraternity activity within its proper sphere. Give it that part of your time and orchery which it has a right to expect of you. Keep the fraternity within its own chapter house; maintain relationships with you. Remember that your university comes first, in all things. Give yourself no added glory because you have been one of the chosen; you have yet to prove yourself in every way. Lead the broadest fraternal life that you possibly can. And last and last will be your life. And that the one best fraternity after all is that comradeship and brotherhood which is every man's debt to his fellow on earth.-Minnesota Daily.
IT PAYS TO EXERCISE
Some die trying; more try dying.
"English department," answers someone with a pleasant feminine voice.
"May I speak to Miss Gardner?" asks the student.
"I am awful sorry but she has just come," home comes from the English department.
At this time, just at the start of the second semester, there is a splendid opportunity for many students to take advantage of the benefits offered by exercising in the gymnasium. There are many different sports, and probably go through their entire university course without even getting on the gym floor in a track suit and then at graduation they wonder why they feel sluggish and as if they are unfit. You will learn that you might require some physical endurance. With five months more to develop the muscles and to get good red blood coursing through the veins why is it that so many men never go near the gym or get out into the country and walk? It is not because it is an unwritten law with many students that enough exercise is obtained going back and forth to class. They rise in the morning, walk a block or so to class and return at noon or in evening without having walked more than one mile. You are again at the study table until the "wey" hours, then go to bed with a wonder expressed why they do not sleep. The college student is known everywhere by his effort to become a successful athlete, sometimes when the weather is a bit biting. Then, if ever, is just the time to get into action. You do not have to be on the athletic teams to use the gym and if you get out just a couple of hours each week studying will become more interesting. From now on let this be your slogan, "IT PAYS TO EXERCISE"—Purdue Exponent.
