The Daily Kangan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the text on paper. University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be courageous; to leave more scorless problems to wiser heads; to provide the students of the University.
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1916.
A long life may not be good enough
long enough — Poor Richard's Almine.
THE FOLLIES ARRIVE
Even in the ordinary town of three thousand inhabitants, a home talent performance always excites the highest interest. So it is that in this University community of ours with 3,000 or more inhabitants—with the undoubted talent that is always present in an institution of this standing,—the K. U. Follies are attracting the
—the K. U, Follies are attracting the highest interest.
The best of the talent in the University is on the program, and the rare opportunity of hearing it all on one evening will prove one of the biggest drawing cards that has been offered at the University this year.
The program is to consist of singing, instrumental music, whistling, dancing and many surprise attractions. Even a press agent would have to force his vocabulary to the utmost to find enough words to describe adequately the brilliant array of talent that will be on the program tomorrow night.
Not the least of the attractions of the evening will be the satisfaction of knowing where the gate receipts go. No worthier cause could be desired than the helping of the Armenians, that nation that has suffered most of all of the innocent bystanders caught in the warring maclstrom. This is the whole purpose of the entertainment and every student who passes in his little mite may well feel that he has done an act that he will be thankful for.
When an evening's entertainment of the caliber of that offered tomorrow night, with the added opportunity of helping in an unusually just cause, is presented to the students of the University of Kansas, they never turn it down.
CLASSICS COMPROMISE
Teachers of the Classics have been forced to accept a compromise, says Meyer Cohn in the current issue of the New Republic. Under the old classical standard, says the author, the undergraduate was given a smattering of the ancient Greek, which he was supposed to absorb, and, becoming interested, to continue after he had finished his literal third-rate translations. But instead of wondering what the fate of Penelope was, or what happened in Homer's Odyssey the student wearily throws aside his Greek book for a more interesting story written in the English as soon as his course is finished.
How much more natural it is for the gleaner after Greek philosophy, Greek history, Greek literature, to take a free translation, done by a master of the English language. With no Greek abitives, no subjunctives, no unrecognizable idioms, the student really enjoys Chapman's Homer, or the Odyssey. Where before he spent weary hours deciphering the
journeys of Homer at thirty lines an hour he may now get the sutle beauties of a really good translation. The Greek drama, in the translation, may be read and appreciated. An acquaintance with Aristophanes, with Sophocles, with Oedipus, with Euripides may be bad without the heart-rending caused by an attempt at a free and easy understanding of the original Greek.
Not that the study of the Greek need be neglected, but by the study of the Classical in the translation, the student is able to obtain a real understanding of the general tendency of the original, without losing its smoothness and ease, in a maze of mystifying rules of syntax and grammar.
FIRESIDE CRITICS
Ever since the University of Kansas was founded it has been the object of argument and discussion. Every land its characters who still live in the period of their youth and cannot understand why things are not run as they were a half century or so ago. Kansas is no exception.
When in Perkins's drug store Smith's barber shop and Brown's general store and post office they gather to criticize present day conditions, the University is not forgotten.
The University, being a state institution, run on state funds, is open to public criticism. That is a good thing as long as such criticism is constructive and when the people who make it are prepared to talk on the subject with intelligence.
It is a sad thing that the unthinking as well as the thinking people may criticize this institution. The "fire side" critics are the ones that do the harm. People who have never visited the school, know nothing of the work it is doing, think of it only as a place where young people gather to spend money and learn to dance and drink tea and who imagine that they are paying many more dollars in taxes because the University exists, insist on being heard. They are the ones who, through their ignorance, are hindering the best interest of an institution that has done more for the state than any other one thing.
Critics ask in loud voices why the institution does not educate a greater number of students and it is these same critics that are instrumental in cutting down the appropriations for the school to such an extent that they are inadequate to provide for the education and comfort of the small per cent of students who are here. Still people ask, "why does not the University have a larger enrollment?" Rather incongruous is it not?
THE THRILL OF THE POTATO
"The proof that I am able to do anything so worth while as to raise a potato never fails to thrill me." The statement doesn't sound like Ida M. Tarbell, business investigator and journalist, but she said it and moreover, she does this same "raising of a potato" and gets the thrill on a little farm in Connecticut, and has done it for years.
The farm, she says, she bought for a plaything and now uses it as a substitute for summer resorts with interesting and enjoyable results. She owns a horse, some chickens and even a cow. She makes preserves and jelly with as much skill and apparent joy as she writes her illuminating articles on what she has observed of business conditions. Her results in farming are as happy as her happy conclusion concerning business, that "any industry or commercial undertaking can be a real success only when it pays dividends in dollars and cents and in personal satisfaction and human happiness." In short, she likes the farm, likes its restfulness, likes its work and its rewards, likes to get back to the soil.
And we like her the better when we know this purely human side of "one of the foremost journalists of the day." We like her the better because such knowledge brings us together on common ground.
Hudson Maxim, the millionaire inventor and manufacturer of manitions, sends out another statement that he is not in agreement with Mr. Maxim, let it be understood, is in the business of sending out statements concerning the defenselessness of America, merely for the good of his own sake, that has nothing to gain himself, oh no.
CAMPUS OPINION
Communications must be strenued an elderder of good faith but names will not be published without the writer's consent
Editor of the Daily Kansan;
The pitiful fact concerned with preparation by the United States, is that just such men as Hudson Maxim reap the benefits. The United States has the brains, the capacity to build and equip as great an army as the French or any savvy courser in the world, by spending the same amount of money.
Instead, we put as much money into our "pitiful little army" as Maxim calls it, as Germany does into hers. What have we in comparison? Who is to blame? Who is as manipulative patriotic and wished to help the country it would hardly seem so bad, but instead they bleed the government.
The steel manufacturers are for a big navy, and they are for it strong; It will mean a market for their steel plate after the present war is over. The manufacturers of powder, of guns, of shoes, of the necessities of war, of population and of the United States, for they must have a market after the present war is over, and the war orders have been filled.
