THE SELF-MADE LINCOLN In that time of our country's development when strong, untiring hands were needed most at the helm of the government. Fate through the hands of a divided Republican party, pushed forth the man, whose birthday the busy world will stop to celebrate tomorrow. Abraham Lincoln was a self-made man. Among all the other sterling qualities that this greatest of Americans possessed, this characteristic presents the most interesting aspect to university students. Everyone who has read the life of Lincoln remembers the conscious thrill of admiration with which he read of the sturdy lad walking miles after a book, when the hard day's work was done, to be read in the long hours of the night in his poorly-roofed loft by the weak light of a candle. How different from the student of the present day! He now has a well-equipped library, with books for the various courses on definite shelves, and everything arranged to give the most convenience possible. A large variety of books on every conceivable subject is provided, so that the fullest information can be obtained on any given subject. The busy and commercially inclined world remembers and reverses the memory of the great man, Lincoln, who walked the weary miles for a book to read, by the flickering light of the candle, while the student with all his opportunities— Yet the student of today passes by opportunities for which Abraham Lincoln would have given his chance of the Presidency. DISSERTATION ON ETCHINGS Etchings are not highbrow, as many people seem to think. The art of etching, in fact, may be considered one of the homeliest, since it may be done with a steel stiletto, beeswax from the laundry, and an ordinary clothes wringer for printing. The art of etching is very old. A copper plate is rubbed bright, then covered with a thin coat of wax. With a sharp pointed etching needle the design or picture desired is traced upon the plate. The plate is then placed in an acid bath. If it is desired that the lines shall be light, the plate does not remain in the acid very long; if some of the lines are to be light, and others are to be dark, the plate is removed, the light lines painted over with varnish, and the plate put back in the bath in order that the other lines may be eaten deeper. When the eating process is entirely finished the wax is removed from the plate, and ink is washed over the whole plate. Two kinds of etchings may now be made. By rubbing the ink from the plate only in part, different degrees of light and shadow may be secured, but if the tone qualities have been secured by the light and heavy etched lines, the plate may be wiped entirely clean of ink. Damp paper is then placed over the plate, passed through a press, and the etching is made. Colored etchings are made simply through the use of various colored nails. Of this class of work there are several good examples in the display of etchings in the Administration Building. Among the finest etchings in the exhibition are several by Schneider. The man or woman who desires to be really cultured cannot afford to miss them. One, a winter scene, is an excellent example of tone quality secured through partially removing the ink. Through this means the sky is shown much grayer than he snow covered ground. If you don't know anything about etchings, now is a fine time to find out. The exhibition is on the third floor of the Administration Building. A NATIONAL PRECEDENT The Supreme Court is continuing its exercise in establishing precedents the latest being what is in some quarters regarded as virtual confiscation of private property. The verdict of the district court against the Danbury, Connecticut, hatters who went out on a strike recently has been upheld by the supreme jurists and as a result the homes of 140 hatters were confiscated. The foreclosure was made to allow an aggrieved firm to collect a judgment of $252,000 against the union. The judgment was rendered under the Sherman Anti-Trust law for triplicate damages. That means that one-third of the $252,000 compensates the aggrieved firm. The other two-thirds is confiscation. Contributions made by the American Federation of Labor on January 27 to the dispossessed hatters amounted to $350,000. In the establishment of such a precedent by the Supreme Court there is likely to be less danger to the members of labor organizations than to some of their opponents. Observations Hermeneutical About Things Academical Always walk five miles before breakfast: Bragging about it helps develop the lungs. "The girls drink tea between exams; the men wait! until afterwards," chuckles the University Oklahoma. Tee hee! Highbrow Lockers Four Harvard athletes recently had Phi Beta Kappa keys for upon them. Next thing we know, lockers which can be opened only with P. E. K. keys will be the style in Cambridge locker rooms; "Now, then, the prof who holds his class a minute after the final bell has rung is going to get his" indignantly declares the Indiana Daily Student. Powder and paint cover a multitudes of sallow complexions, confuses the eyes, and causes disgust. Girls at the University of Ohio are annoying the male members of the student body, according to the Ohio State Lantern, by selfishly taking up space. They also take the dear boys think the girls should "take up" with them a little more. The Inevitable Prof. Tommy—Mamma, have gooseber ries lot leers? Nota Bene, Prince!

Kara may mend. GROWTH OF UNIVERSITIES Bodies of clay—but our souls cannot die. The greatest gain during the past year has been in California (2875), which is in a large part due to the number of teachers who were drawn from other regions for attractions of the summer session, the exposition and the conventions. In college undergraduates California leads with 129 women and 2023 men, followed by Harvard with 2516 women and 2023 women (Radcliffe)-Irdependent. Now, as I hold you here Slowly I wonder— Do you remember, dear? . . . Neither do I. What has happened to the campaign launched by the Kansan a month ago for stopping classes on time when the whistle blows? For a while after the announcement of zeal and energy in seeing that the rule laid down by the Chancellor was obeyed. Now, for some unknown reason nothing more has been done to protect the professors continue to abuse the confidence that has been placed in them. Having made a flying start, and with victory almost within your grasp you have let it sit and the campaign has fallen flat. Let's start and finish on time and not according to the whim of our instructors. Editor of the Daily Kansan: EVERYTHING CORRECT BUT THE FACTS CAMPUS OPINION Communication must be signed as evidenced of good faith but it will not be published. It is a novel sensation to the editor of The Maroon, in scanning other college papers, to discover news accredited to his journal, which is as authoritative as he is by noted athletes are to their "authors." In The Colgate Madisonensis, for instance, we glimpse an item concerning the University, to the effect that "co-eds at Chicago have gone on a strike because they are not authorized," in same side of the room with the male students in certain lecture courses." The universities of the United States have grown so rapidly in recent years that few people keep track of them. The statistics of attendance as annually published in *Science Alive* as well as the order of the leading institutions does not change much from year to year. The registration figures up to November 1, 1915, are quite remarkable in that they show to what extent the young men and women of America are sorties enrolled for regular work, including the summer session, number high among the thousands. Omitting the summer session the leading universities of the list are: Columbia, Michigan, Harvard, 5853; Michigan, 5977; New York, 5858; Michigan, 5821; Illinois, 5511; Harvard, 5435. Talented writers of fiction, however, are limited neither to The Red Book nor to Colgate; for, in the Daily Nebraska of a recent date, we read a story—labelled as an excerpt from the Maroon—which rilieves that the author, Marc Hauen's immortal adventures. This feature has all the imaginative glamour of an authentic write-up in a Hearst paper. It depicts the thrilling escapes of "Clara Pause, 18," (incidentally, no student by such a name ever graced the campus), who, notwithstanding the chill of Christmas, went on to study at the bank into the ice waters of Lake Michigan. This, if we are to believe The Nebraskan, is one of Chicago's favorite winter sports. Practical. We live and learn. And it is one of the privileges of the college journalist to live and learn to cultivate accuracy.-Chicago Maroon. Do You Read Ads?
