Published in the afternoon five
verses of verse from the press
variety of authors from the press
of the magazine.
THE DAILY KANSAAN aims to picture the undergraduate in how to go further than merely printing the news. The University holds, to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads in all, to make it equally the students of the University.
WEDNESDAY, DEC.1, 1915
An honest day's work,
A day's honest pay.
Give their own thanks,
Forever and always.
Industrial Printer
WE DON'T "PIKE" EITHER That was too bad, Missouri.
And so, after allowing your Glee Club to come to Lawrence last year at the expense of the University of Kansas, you "piked" on your part of the contract and could not see how you could afford to pay the Jayhawker songsters' way "clear down" to Columbia.
Well, well. How much further is it from Lawrence to Columbia and back than it is from Columbia to Lawrence and return?
We may not get as much money from the state legislature as some universities it might not be well to mention (personalities are barred on this page) but we always live up to our contracts.
OFF FOR EUROPF
Someone said Kansas won a little football game last Thanksgiving Day. There! Take that, and that, and that, and suffer.
Even though the iron-lung season is over, we must open up and give nine rahs for Pringle. Kansas is proud of him. Henry Ford will have a brainy man, a clear thinker and an A1 student on that ship of his when it leaves New York Harbor. Pringle represented the local society of the International Polity Club at Utica last summer and came back to Lawrence this fall with some fairly definite opinions about this war and peace business.
A good trip to you, Pringle. When you feel lonese, get out in the middle of those battlefields and give a Rock Chalk. Somebody will be around to respond.
If Henry needs any advice, he can call on Pringle. Maybe Kenneth will take it into his head to tell Kaiser Bill the market price of Tiger meat in Columbia, Mo. But whatever he does, Kansas is with him.
Just one parting appeal: Please don't drive back to Lawrence next spring in a Ford.
ANOTHER LITTLE THING
It's the little things that count.
THEY HAVE A PLACE
One enterprising Futurist author wrote a book totally without punctuation marks. At the end he added a page of nothing but punctuation. In a brief note he requested the intelligent public to salt and pepper to taste. The lack of interest in his work is displayed by the fact that even his name is lost.
To the person of imagination, the symbols of punctuation are not merely
a device for the torment of the first grader—comma count two, period five, semicolon four—but they seem to call up vivid pictures from daily life.
The question mark is a fat policeman, with shoulders, well back and questioning eyes on all men. The exclamation point might be a khaklai clad soldier, straight and tail in his uniform, emphasizing our nation's safety. The gentle period, with all its unobrusive finality says "Stop." It never hurts you until you try to walk over it, like a honey-bee or a hotel pillow.
The uncertain comma must be a discouraged dog with drooping tail. No one knows just where to put it and it is cuffed about without rule and at will. It will patiently try to fill the place of a better unit, and failing, finds no mercy.
Without these friends of the printed page, the public would indeed be a ship without a rudder; or as a stranger in a strange land, with no interpreter between him and the printer, he would neither understand nor be understood.
IT IS A SHAME
Why can't we let the Masters be?
They give us a living, throbbing masterpiece and we—we sit down to fuss about what the author really meant,
just as if the value of a work does not depend upon what it means to us,
instead of what it means to the author.
A poet may be a devil; yet express divine emotions. Now the fact that he is a devil is of no particular literary value, but his poetry does interest us intensely.
If you wish a sociological study of the author, make it; but in the name of reason let ur not mar all the beauty of a thought by dragging in a chumsy human even though he be the author.
Just to think! We may never know what philosophical euridion Browning intended in "My Last Dutchess." What downright mental anguish it causes one not to be sure we have dissected "Fra Lippo Lippi" as Browning conceived the old sinner. And Tennyson! What did he mean "The Lady of Shalot" to represent; what was Shelly's conception of Alastor?
Alas! Most of us never get beyond the gigantic word pictures Browning paints for us in his monologues, or the melody and rhythm of Tennyson's poems, or the dizzy wonder of being hurled through space on the tail of that comet, Shelly's Imagination.
Fortunately for such plebians in literary criticism, we shall always have with us those of the Higher Appreciation Caste.
Life after all has its compensa-
tions.
THRU THE PERISCOPE
Soon as a young woman is able to splash water fast enough to wallow across a ten-foot pool, she is promptly dubbed a mermaid.
Who can doubt that as soon as these mermaids learn to do the standing- running dive, they will turn their foot to mastering the feet-first header?
Since his automobile kicked two of his ribs out of joint, Dr. Naismith has probably learned that it is always best to speak to one's steed and pat it kindly whenever passing the business end.
Hi speed says it is plumb easy to believe that a big catfish recently swam half way up Massachusetts street before discovering that it was out of the water, but he says he will drink from a bottle, and soda before can believe that any man wore a collar and tie without a shirt.
Faith is a great thing. Some people believe that Henry Ford will end the war and others are confident that Martin Luther King is going to start a book exchange.
Out near Canton a farmer husked
134 bushels of corn the other day, but
—gosh, we don't care anything about
Cornhusking now, do we?
The next thing we know Miss Elizabeth Doub will be writing for the Ladies Journal on "How I Was Treated" and expense When I Was Ten Days Old."
Wisconsin gives away ten gallons of buttermilk milk in free drinks to students at Kansas did that to hard drink a accused use of taking to hard drink once more.

"Social Snobbery is the kindly feeling which the Chosen Few feel for those who are Not Quite in the Same Class. Training in this Method may be obtained with Warrior may be obtained in almost any college or university in the country; it is not confined to this particular university. All Haunts of Higher Learning will go about to higher schools and/or larger schools in essentially the same manner."—Brass Tacks, University of California.
Yet erre he partied said, "This is thine; Thou art the shadow of life and as such
It is the College of Social Science.
Love wept and spread his sheeny
vans for flight;
Major courses and professional aims notwithstanding, there is one college in the University of California that students can enroll without prerequisites.
Life eminent creates the shade o Death;

"The curriculum of this college is broad; its efficiency is marvelous. Roughly speaking, there are two colleges: the College of Social Snobbery. One is by joining some organization which will make it possible for you to live your college life Apart from the college counselor, you Owning Choosing. The other way is to stay out of such organizations and practice snobbery as a Free Lance.
The shadow passeth when the tree shall fall.

It reserves, however, the right to respond to complaints or historical data that you can easily find and compare concerning the viral problems of the department as well as the conditions of the experts in this department.

To the Question Editor:
You might get up, and after excusing yourself, to the professor first, then to the class, retire without disturbing anybody. A better way, I say, is to do it while at and at 20 minutes past, gently close your folder and spread your napkin and lunch on it. Everybody will understand after the first few times, and there will be no objections. Try if it does not work, write again.
Dear Hungry:
To the Question Editors;
sincere.y.
Hungry
Animals seem to have a great fondness for me. I begin to think I must be endowed with a magnetic personality. The other day as I was walking through the park, a squirrel ran up to me and sniffed at me. Was it was with some difficulty that I evaded the creature. Can you explain this phenomenon?
"Either way, the ultimate end of your course is to fit you for the practical skills, scale, as a member of the Aristocracy of College - Graduates If you have been faithful thru the full four years of your training you are fit to go out with the other lead of the people and Reform the World.
Hazel: We would rather not explain this matter in this column, but if you will call at the office we think it is appropriate information. What is your second name?
Hazel.
"Before we fall into an argument about this let us define precisely what we mean by Social Snobbery Social Snobbery is something distinct from ordinary snobbishness Any half-wit can be snobbish if he believes himself to be unique among the master minds of history, too subtitle to be appropriate a large group of people can practice SOCIAL snobbery. Social Snobbery is the assumption on the part of one group of individuals, that certain other groups of individuals, do not or need not, exist. When one woman ignores another woman because she does not like her, that is mere snobbery. But when one group of women designates another group the name Wise Woman that identifies social Snobbery. The art of Social Snobbery consists in regarding Your crowd as the Leaven or Society, disposing of the rest of the world as Uncultured Majority.

Columbia University is this year giving new courses for the training of wives and mothers. The education is offered by the Teachers' College. Matrons who wish to become efficient and scientific managers of their homes may take the courses in their spare time, for the hours are arranged so as not to conflict with doctoral work. The women who take the courses in this way will not be candidates for a degree, but will get all the practical phases of the graduate work, without the technical and theoretical elements.
