The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the news by standing up to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be�challenged; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads in all, to give students a richer understanding of the students of the University.

Gifts much expected are paid, not given—Poor Richard's Imanac.
UP TO DATE
A great change has come over public opinion in its ideas as to the education of women. From the point of time, it has not been so very many years ago since women were barred from American universities.
Now we find that not only are colleges and universities anxious to provide women with professions, but are even going to the point of introducing employment bureaus for college women.
These employment bureaus have been introduced into Chicago and New York with branches at the various universities. Kansas has not been lacking in enterprise in introducing such a bureau at the University.
Through the endeavors of certain women faculty members a representative from the Chicago Women's College Employment Bureau was introduced to speak to the University women two years ago. And this year a member of the New York Intercollegiate Bureau of Occupations came to Lawrence to assist in forming a branch employment bureau for college women wishing to find positions upon leaving school.
The idea of the bureau is one that will be heartily endorsed by women of the University who desire to find occupations other than teaching. The Association of Collegeiate Alumnae is to be congratulated upon being so far sighted as to recognize the needs of university women.
THE INVENTOR OF OPTIMISM
"Look pleasant!"
There is no use in pouting but what's the use of having a Hill anyway if we can't coast on it?
That command begins to chime in between daily duties, like a refrain. It explodes automatically from the ever-smiling photographer as he adjusts you just to suit his liking. For the Annual must come out and there must be pictures; individual pictures, pictures of this group, pictures of that organization, pictures, pictures, pictures.
We underestimate the photographer's service to humanity. He preserves for posterity the best of expressions and poses. Optimism must have originated with him. He insists on seeing the best in everything. He improves the material with which he works. He smooths out a wrinkle here, a blemish there, and—behold the result of his labors. Posterity has the product for adulation.
When making a trip to the photographer, first of all remember the gravity of the situation. A photograph is not a thing, to be treated lightly. It is not a thing that is 'here today and gone tomorrow.' It will be preserved for future generations to gaze upon. Therefore, assume an expression indicative of 'intellectual curiosity,' an expression of hunger for knowledge.
Who knows, someone, in future years, may gaze upon your face and say: "He is my inspiration, the origin of all my worthy ambitions"—and all the glory is due to the photographer who has caught and transmitted your expression of a love for wisdom
DO SOME TELEPHONING Central, give me 2485W.
Is this 2485W? Is Miss Frances Snow there? This is the S. & S. club at 1424 Indiana street. We have some clothing here that we want to go to Belgium and northern France. You'll all for it? Thanks, Goodby.
Very simple, but that is all you have to do to get action on the proposition of sending clothing to the suffering in Belgium and France. They don't want your best clothes. All they ask is that you dig out some of the clothes that would probably just be in your way after all. You can combine the double function of getting them out of the way and at the same time perform a service, the value of which the average student in an off-hand thought could not realize.
They need your help. Will you turn a deaf ear?
EVERYBODY OUT!
Coach Patterson of the track team complains of a lack of pep from the men of his squad. The men are not turning out for practice as they should. With the spring contests looming up over the horizon, such should not be the case at this time of the year.
The University has the material to put out the best track team in the Missouri Valley. There is no excuse for our not doing so. These men who have ability along track lines, should get out and do their very best for Kansas. Those who have never tried out, ought to at least attempt it.
You may be a cinder track artist of unusual adveptism. Perhaps you've never had the time, or thought much about the matter. But now is the time for you to hustle yourself over to the gym some afternoon, hunt up Coach Patterson, and tell him you want to be given a try-out. Perhaps it will be you who will make that needed point to help make Kansas an ever victorious track team this spring.
A CHANCE FOR ALL
The Harvard Crimson has begun the publication of a series of articles on the opportunities afforded college men in various occupations. Politics, diplomacy, law, medicine, farming, teaching and the ministry are the subjects which have been chosen. The leading authorities on these matters will write the articles which will appear in the Crimson, and in this way the University hopes to interest those students who are as yet undecided which profession to follow.
A newspaper story states that an education may be obtained at the University of Pekin for $3.00. Suspicious!
Students at the University of Missouri are classifying the clouds that pass over Columbia. Going in for higher education it would seem.
At Drake the senior pin and the senior ring are still in vogue. And we thought Drake was a real grown up University.
How true the old saying: Well, they are getting the Ford down pretty cheap.
Flopsy, Mopsy and Cotton-tail, who were good little bunnies, went down the lane to gather blackberries.
Pabulum for the Highbrow
But Peter, who was very naughty, ran straight away to Mr. McGregor's garden and squeezed under the gate.
But around the end of a cucumber frame, whom should he meet but Mr. McGregor!
First he ate some lettuces and some French beans; and then he ate some radisheds; and then feeling rather sick, he went to look for some parsely.
CAMPUS OPINION
His plans were, for various reasons, never completed, but the $10,000 fund remained intact and after a hard-fought legislative battle, secured the State University for Lawrence in 1863.
CAMPIUS OPTION
Communications must be signed as evidence of good faith but names will not be published without the writer's consent.
The statement of the freshman mixer committee that "there will be not a dry moment all evening" should be investigated.

I REMEMBER
Difficulty in securing a roost to an land blocked these first plans. Two years later the development of the people and the heroic deaths of some of the young men of Kansas seemed to Mr. Lawrence to give both a reason and a name for a college, and he then wrote the Rev. Mr. Nute, of Lawrence, and Governor Robinson. At the same time, he turned over to trustees a fund of $10,000 to be used in building a college which should "perpetuate those martyrs of liberty who fell during the recent struggle. Beneath it, their dust shall rest. In it shall burn the light of liberty, which shall be extinguished till it illumine the whole continent. It shall be called the 'Free State College,' and all the friends of freedom shall be invited to lend it a helping hand."
CONCERNING DRILL
Editor Kansan:
The question of military drill, which has been discussed at some length in your columns is worthy of mention. The question of coalition and invasion. I for one want to register a protest against any attempt to institute the system in the University of Kansas, and my own arguments in favor of it; I am open to conviction.
I believe, first, that it is unnecessary. I also contend that schools are no place in which to spread the doctrines of militarism—it is common knowledge what the war creed in the universities of Germany has done.
I remember, I remember,
The dri-trees dark and high;
I used to think their slender tops
Were close against the sky;
It was a childish ignorance,
But now 'tis little joy.
To know I'm farther from Heaven
Than when I was a toy.
——Thomas Hood.
I wish my finances were so that I could give you an order to go on and build at once; but that is out of the question. My share in the transaction will be to pay one hundred dollars every month, and I think I can continue to do that, if my health is spared for some time to come. The only condition which shall be imposed is that you shall not mention to any one, nor intimate to any one, except Mr. Pomeroy (with whom you may advise, you having imposed the same injunction on him), from whence the money proceeds, except that you may say, when it is necessary to do so, that it is sent to you from Massachusetts. The building when completed should be a handsome one
I believe further that the average college student has little time to devote to drill, and that his time and energies could be spent to better advantage in some other way. Further, where it is employed in the land grant colleges, drill is quite universally abhorred.
Perhaps those who are advocating it are not sinsee. If they are really worried about the fate of the Republic, and were not merely, they could make a grand statement, they could Compulsory drill is not necessary; military science can be obtained in the militia, if anyone wants it.
Anti-military.
Almost everyone knows that Lawrence was named for S. A. Lawrence, an Eastern man who was in the Kansas struggle for freedom. But not so many people are familiar with the part he played in the founding of the University of Kansas.
As was to be expected, the New Englanders who settled in the vicinity of the present-day Lawrence, began at once to talk of founding a college. In a letter to Dr. Robinson in 1854, Mr. Lawrence said, "You have laid out grounds for a college and it will be a good one, without doubt, in time; but in the first place, you must have a preparatory school where the boys shall be fitted for college. It should be for boys and not for girls. There may be a girls' school, too, but the boys should be cared for first."
