The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the students so far, no further than merely printing the news by standing on the board; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be anxious; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to recognize the capacity of the students of the University.
WEDNESDAY, DEC. 8, 1915
All our works, even the greatest, are so little in relation to the world's needs; at least they can be shared in relation to the doer's faithfulness. There is the secret of self-respect. Oh go! who has been with cheerfulness and love—Phillips Brooks.
SHALL THE U. S. PREPARE?
Once in a while something comes within the grasp of a University student that, if he misses, amounts to neglect of a vital part of his education. Last week, four good lectures were given that added to the general knowledge of all who heard them.
Friday night the question that is baffling American statesmen will be discussed in Fraser Hall, by the debating teams of Kansas and Nebraska.
Whether the United States should increase her armament is a question about which President Wilson is doing a great deal of thinking and talking. It is the most vital matter before the congress which went into session last Monday noon.
Here is a chance to hear one of the most vital questions ever before a president and a congress discussed by men who have spent weeks in study and preparation. For the sake of your general knowledge, don't miss that debate.
And in Fraser Hall, Friday, the debaters from the University of Nebraska will take issue with Mr. Wilson and maintain that there should be no increase, while the Crimson and Blue team will maintain that there should be a substantial increase.
COLLEGIATE ATHLETICS
Not being thoroughly acquainted with athletic conditions all over the United States, the editor of the Daily Kansan would hesitate to talk in an authoritative manner upon that subject. Is it stepping too far into the sea of impossibilities to venture that President William T. Foster, who recently wrote an article in the Atlantic Monthly, doesn't know all the conditions of inter-collegiate athletics, either?
A man is not competent to talk knowingly on so weighty a subject until he has watched for at least a generation the athletics of the country. Then, he might have some basis for such an article as President Foster wrote—if he had known every athlete personally and had followed him out into life and had collected definite data backing up his statements.
While Mr. Foster is entitled to his opinion concerning athletics in colleges, this paper is also entitled to its idea concerning Mr. Foster's "call" to write and publish the kind of article recently run in the Atlantic.
3ENEATH THE CLOCK
Van Dyke represents the Flemish School of painters and Titian, the Venetian. These are the painters of the portraits which have replaced the Holbeins that hung in Fraser Hall last week.
"In good portraits there is always a correspondence of feeling and character between the hands and the head.
There is an absolute unanimity between the expression of the hand and that of the face in the Van Dyke, even to the curl of the forefinger, which echoes with extraordinary subtlety the curious slanting glance of the eyes." This is the statement made by Charles Cafin in discussing Van Dyke's portrait of Marie Louise Von Tassis. In this portrait, we have a characteristic Van Dyke subject. "Flemish, Spanish, and French nobility deemed it an honor to be painted by him." He depicts the elegant. Elegance characterizes both his subjects and his manner of treatment.
We read of him, "Possibly he gives to all the personages who sat for him, something of the grace of his own person. In every case, he has, in a greater degree than his master, (Rubens) a feeling for fashion and for graceful draperies, a taste for silky stuffs, for satins and laces, and ribbons, for plumes, and ornamental swords." Look at the portrait of Marie Louise Von Tassis and see this verified.
Titian differs from Van Dyke in that he "leaves out everything but what is essential. His simplicity has been called "majestically grand." He is often called the greatest colorist that ever lived.
"Van Dyke's people are as elegant as those of Titian's most courtly portraits, but they are not as forceful and vital." Titian's art displays the subjective and idealistic treatment. His own mentality figures in his productions. Of Titian, Charles Caffin says, "No artist's life was so completely and sustainably superb and such, too, is the character of his work. He was great in portraiture, in landscape, in the painting of mythological subjects. In any one of these departments, others have rivaled him, but his glory is that he attained to an eminence in all. He was an artist of universal gifts,"—an all-embracing genius, equable, serene, majestic."
KEEP IT UP, WOMEN!
A women's athletic association sounds fine. And it will sound better if five hundred University women jump into the work within the next week and make the project "go." Dr. Alice L. Goetz is working day and night on plans for the association and will make out a complete schedule for events next season if the women show the right spirit.
DIRTY WORK
Recently some Lawrence "boys," in going the "rounds" at Kansas City were caught in a raid. They were taken to the police station where they gave the names of University students and were released on bond. They skipped their bonds, which is a serious offence in Missouri. Since that time the names have been given wide publication.
Reflection has been cast on the entire University as well as the two students because of this untruth.
There are a few things we can be proud of: No University man would do such a trick as that. No "man" of any sort would.
Women in the household science department at the University of Illinois found, by wearing pedometers while setting tables, that they registered three miles to the meal. Fortunately at the University of Kansas we have other methods for reducing flesh. Three miles to a meal would amount to nine miles on average. Our course does not teach more economy than that, it uses useless for University women to spend their time in taking such a course.
NOTHING TO BE PROUD OF
A University course should teach the best way of doing things with the least waste of energy. A three mile walk before each meal is a very good way of working out, but it does not form an index exercise for the busy housekeeper.

No hopes for men wearing real High School sweaters with big white "O's" on them. Better discard the grey, grey one with a blue "B" on it.
I don't understand this school at all. Back in my home town I was appreciated, but people don't seem to know what I can do here at all. I wear my High School sweater, won for playing football, just as often as it gets cold, but the students upper classmen down at the house where I stay asked me yesterday how on earth I got that Red rag with a big White "O" on it. I felt like crying. How can I make people appreciate me?
My fiancee has invited me for Sunday dinner at her home. I have become a little rusty as an etiquette lover, but I have a few of the important things to remember?

Do not feel too self conscious, Rusty, or the family will think that you are not in the habit of dining out. There are only a few important things to remember. No matter what her father may say to disconcert you, do not throw a biscuit at him. To do so many things in a hurry you do not like her biscuits and have no other way of disposing of them. Another thing, if you are in the habit of eating with your knife, continue to do so. You are probably much more adept with this impulse than you are not in the same sensation than if you try to use a fork. Be conservative, however, in loading it up. The family will like you much better if you do not appear too much at home at first. Don't dust off the chair with your silver. Do this might lead "her" small brother to think that you have been a waiter. It is best to keep that part of your history dark.

What I would like to know is how a student is going to handle such conditions which arise very frequently? Can he grow bold and demand an apology from the instructor, take his case to the Dean, or what? Surely he should have some way to respond. While the faculty members are pleading for courtesy they might put into practice a few of their own requests and furthermore some means should be devised whereby the faculty can be shown that the students are not responsible to them. The instructors don't have any equity possible other hand there are approximately 3000 reasons why the members of the faculty have jobs. Therefore let the professors and professors-to-be consider the feelings of this army of 3000 occasionally.
"What became of Ninevah?" asked the Sunday School teacher. "It was entirely destroyed," said Johnny promptly. "And what became of Tyre?" "Punctured."

THE QUESTION BOX
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
To the Question Editor:
Someone ago a student in one of the English courses handed in a very excellent paper, on which he had worked diligently for several days. When he received his paper back from the instructor he was accused of cheating, asked if the paper was his own, and was bold told that the script was beyond a college student and that therein in the future he had better do his own work. Now I know the student in question, know that he is a very hard worker, and above all know that the paper was all his own work. Nevertheless he was humiliated in class and made to look bad in the eyes of his fellow student in the instructor, who by the way has not been出 of college long enough to be initiated into an alumni association.
This department does not pretend to know the history of the lab or to answer question to the best of its ability. Service, intervene the right to refute answers and provide historical dates that you can easily find. Historical data is often ignored or incorrect concerning the vital problems of the department and the experiments of the experts in this department.

It is true that America has no desire to convert its civilian colleges into schools of war, even if such a transformation were possible. Granting the need of increasing our facilities for regular military education, in governmental institutions and in high school, would such an excellent specialty of military instruction as does Norwich University, we still must admit that our other universities have in their normal intellectual tasks a labor of magnitude and important impact on student energies. If in teaching their students the truth of the world's culture and history the colleges can inculcate into them a solid and unified loyalty to America and to democratic ideals in a kind that will make them not weak-kneeded for peace but willing to help them build up their lives, then truly they will have performed a national service beyond which none can be greater. But in respect of the lesser service, the service of which their students may have desperate need, if ever they try to fulfill it in the imperial action, it behooves the colleges to devote intelligent thought.—Boston Transcript.
