The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go for longer than merely printing the news, and so to hold University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be generous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to help the university to satisfy the students of the University. TO THE LAST DITCH! MONDAY, NOV.15, 1915 But if we screw our courage to the sticking point, we can not fail.— Lady Macbeth. On blackboards in recitation rooms, and in the talk about the campus there has been a fine display of courage, of real spirit which goes on and on despite of difficulties. After a defeat, of which it can only be said that we were beaten by a wonderful team, there is "pep" which promises to beat Missouri. Missouri never has had a team which could distinctly outclass us; they have only an average team this year, and if we practice the words of Lady Macbeth our season will end victoriously. Never have Kansas rooters and team shown a better fighting spirit than Saturday. Let's keep up the fight, and BEAT MOSURI. STOP. LOOK! Go into Fraser Hall this week and look at the paintings hanging beside the clock. They are color phototype reproductions of characteristic paintings by Holbein. You look at a "man of affairs" when you study the picture of George Gyze, the Dutch merchant. You see, too, details indicative of the period of the painting—features worth study from the standpoint of the historian, as well as from an artist's standpoint. Can you see the "quality of intimacy" which the picture has and also, can you discern what the critic saw when he said of Holbein's art, "It is a triumph of well controlled elaboration." Characteristics of Holbein's art have been expressed by critics briefly. "It shows an enjoyment of the truth of facts." "It exhibits the objective treatment of a realist." "He has told us as plainly as is possible with a brush, what is transpiring in the mind of his models." "He makes an eye appeal, rather than a mental appeal." "The detail of his pictures makes him a historian." Students in the Agricultural school at the University of Missouri have adopted the "date box" plan of obtaining dates for all the women in the school for a barn warming party. According to a story in the University Missouri there are still fifty names of women in the date box. It would appear that at least fifty men among the Missouri Aggies have found the "sight unseen" name unsatisfactory in past experience and are not to be fooled twice at the same game. CHEER THE TIGER Missouri will extend the hand of welcome to the University Glee Club this year, thus reciprocating the act of Kansas last year. This custom which will soon be moulded into tradition is a fine thing It allows the Kansas men to sing a song or two at Missouri and in an unofficial way represent the University spirit. The "Crimson and Blue" is a fine sentiment to carry to the Missourians. Then too the Kansas song birds can help cheer the old tiger in his last hours, before the game. BY ITS FRUITS Efficiency is the test word of the present age. The method of living, of thinking, of working—everything meets the question, "is it efficient." It might seem a hard thing to judge of the efficiency of an institution so compex as a university. What is the standard? How shall we know when it has achieved efficiency? One hundred per cent. efficient—when? Is it when the education of each student makes it possible for him to live the largest and most useful life of which he is capable? Were this our standard, we could never arrive at a decision, as to when this had been accomplished or in what degree. Helen McCandless in "Education" for October relieves the situation by establishing what might be called "a working basis." She gives us something tangible to begin with. "The test of the efficiency of any college is the citizenship of its alumni." The final result is the big thing here as in most phases of life. . HADLEY WOULD GET READY RADEFEN Nine teachers preparedness has a strong support in the person of President A. T. Hadley of Yale. President in his annual report states that although opposed to compulsory military training in the schools of the country he strongly favors the summer training causes and granting of academic credit hours to those who take advantage of the training offered. Both the pacifists and the militarists think that we are stronger than we really are, according to President Hadley, and it is up to us to correct these false impressions. The summer training camps will do this both by training men and women in making those same men and also by giving those same men a knowledge of what war means and how little we are prepared for it. MONE LIKE THIS YESTERDAY From Cotton Mather's "Magnolia" which was first published in 1702, we get a description of her life and how she read about than experience. We gather that it was the regular service. "In the space of 20 years (the reference is to a man named Cotton) that he lived in Boston, on the Lord's days in the afternoons, his thrice went over the body of divinity in a catechism; and he recited his discourse to young scholars, and others in the town, that they might answer to his questions in the congregation; and the answers he opened and applied unto the general advantage of the hearers. In the forewords of his book, which he first wrote for the first six chapters in the Gospel of John, the whole book of Ecclesiastes; the prophecy of Zechariah; and the prophecy of Zephyanials; the prophecy of Zechariah, and other Scriptures. When the Lord's Supper was administered, which was once a feast of the Church, he first entered in the first epistle to the Corinthians, and the thirteenth chapter in the second book of the Chronicles; and some other pertinent paragraphs of the Bible. In his lectures, he went through the whole first and second chapter of his parable, in the first epistle to the Corinthians, and the thirteenth chapter in the seventeenth chapter of Matthew. His house also was full of young students whereof some were sent into him out of Germany, some out of Holland, but most out of still more of Europe, Solomon's Song; the Parables of our Saviour to Living by assignments is a habit which many students take with them when they leave college. They become so imbued with the meaning of their work that they naturally fall into the same way of living after receiving their diplomas and hence the secrets of the manohang desk and the swivel chair are never disclosed to them. *LIVING BY ASSIGNMENTS* Some folk we know are so obessed with the habit of living by assignments that they can't be persuaded to read a newspaper or a new book, not assigned to them. If the habit of eating three messs a day had not been acquired at a much earlier time, we couldn't without their dinner unless an assignment of 20 pages in history included dinner at the New Dechleh. The world is too much with us; late and soon It's a arrowful condition to be obsessed by the assignment of a value. I'll pick up a and soon Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers; Little we see in Nature that is ours; We have seen our hearts away, a sordid boon! This sea that bares her bosom to the moon; The winds that will be howling at all hours And an up-gather'd now like sleep-bing for this, for everything, we are out of tune; It moves us not. Great God! I'd rather be A pagan suckled in a creed围巾; So might I, standing on this pleasant face. Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn; Have sight of Proteus coming from the sea, Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn; William Wordsworth "We talk of choosing our friends, but friends are self elected. Reverence is a great part of it, because you make souls by intruding on them? Why insist on rash personal relations with your friend? A message, a thot, a sincerely good friend, a sincerely bad, not pottage. I can get politics and chat with cheaper companions. "The other element of friendship is tenderness. We are holden to men by every sort of tie, by blood, by pride, by fear, by hope, by lucre, by lust, by hate, by every circumstance and badge and baggage, and love that so much character subsist in another as to draw us by love. "Friendships such as we desire are dreams and fables. The essence of friendship is enterness, a total magnanimity and trust. It treats its object as a God, that it may deify both—Emerson. "Every man passes his life in the search after friendship. But many friendships hurry to short and poor conclusions because we have made them a texture of wine and dreams, instead of the tough fiber of the human heart. The laws of friendship are austere and eternal, of one web with the laws of nature and morals. It is also where aimed at a swifter and but sudden sweetness. We watch at the slowest fruit in the whole garden of God, which many summers and many winters must rinen. "I do not wish to treat friendship daintily but with roughest courage. When they are real, they are no longer work, but the solidest things we know." "We seek our friend not sacredly, but with an adulterate passion which would appropriate him to ourselves. In vain. We are armed all over with subble antagonism and it is soon as in play, and translate olmy into stale prose. delightful book of essays and stop in the middle, because the assignment only went to page 43. The assignment habit is easy to cultivate because it follows the path of least resistance, but the shining light of knowledge is never found at the end of the journey. That is why the rule is only named the way of expressing forceful by assignment. Originality, forceful thinking and action are never offsprings of the assignment habit... Ohio State Lantern. FORMULAE FOR FRIENDS DESTRUCTIVE VIRTUES DESTINY THE "destructive Virtues" is the paradoxical subject of an interesting discussion in "The Living Age" for October. William Wordsworth. "There are two elements that go to make up the composition of friendship. One is truth. A friend is a person with whom we may be sincere. Before him I think aloud. I am arrived at last in the presence of a man so real and equal that I may drop even those undermost of dissimulation, and second of dissimulation, but never put off, and third of them never with the simplicity and wholeness with which one chemical atom meets another. It seems strange to think of amability, self control and method as attributes constructive of personality. The statement that people who want a woman's help may be a debatable one, but, says the author, "Some word had to be found to fit a curious negative, quality which no one could dislike and which was destructive alike of those and virtues, and chosen as the best we have." We have a notion," he continues, "that the thing is peculiarly English, though the word has such a foreign air. The Latin people are not phlegmatic enough to understand German people are too little refined and the Americans too nervous and energetic." Concerning self control, we find this statement "If a man becomes a tyrant over himself, he will destroy his personality almost as surely as he would destroy that of another victim of his over-developed will power." Seemingly, there is opportunity for more debating. "To the ordinary person with a conspicuous faculty for method," he asserts, "it becomes an end in itself. The conclusion then that it be the thing to do is either element of which it may be said, 'Too much is as harmful as too little.'"
