The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of F. W. Kansan, further than merely printing the book; he also holds the University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courteous; to solve problems to wiser heads, in all, to avoid problems that justify the students of the University.

'ANY REASON FOR IT?
One reason given for requiring freshmen to wear their caps is that they become acquainted with each other through that common style of headgear.
But after having worn them all fall and having been together eight months, is it necessary for them to risk their eyesight in the bright spring sun for the sake of getting acquainted? If they don't know their classmates after eight months, during three of which the caps were worn, will the wearing of caps for two months in the spring help the situation?

IF K. U. HAD A THEATER—
Those in charge of the commencement week program had hoped to give a performance of the senior play without charging admission, but the fact that the University has no theatre on its campus forces them to use the Bowersock house. Rent must be paid and the committee finds it necessary to charge a small price if it is to give the play. No attempt is being made to secure profits from the play, but if any should be made, the money will be turned into the Dramatic Club's fund for prizes for encouraging the writing of plays by students.
IN MEMORIAM
With a heavy heart, the Daily Kansas must take upon itself the sad duty of paying the last tribute to one who has departed from this vale of tears.
He who has just gone from our midst has truly seen more tears in his journey through life than falls to most mortals, but he bore them with fortitude. They never discouraged his dauntless spirit.
His career was one of usefulness, though of a different kind than usual. Some serve humanity by making bricks, others by raising grain, some by healing the weak,
but only a few by the best way of all—making them happy. It was the life work of the departed one to amuse. He entered into his work with all his being and never allowed weariness to interfere with other people's pleasure.
The Daily Kansan, with the deceased's friends in Sigma Nu, and the many who knew him only by reputation, mourns the departure to a better land of Allie, age six years, one month, four days.

The year of 242 B. C. brought with it a poor harvest, and when the spring of 241 B. C. came and brought promise of a good harvest, a national celebration of a good harvest, a national celebration like participation in the celebrations which consisted mainly of games and dances and holiday celebrations in general. All work was laid aside and all joy was put to rest. A single found utterance in their spring dances. The main dance was in

Those unfamiliar with life at the University of Minnesota, believe that the students are a frivolous, irresponsible lot, their highest ideals foolish pranks,剧院, and reception. The students are a frivolous, irresponsible lot, their highest ideals foolish pranks,剧院, and reception. The press of the state, unintentionally we are sure, serves to spread this idea by printing the froth of university life, ignoring the more material side. For this situation the reading public is more or less to blame. Does it not demand the sensational? Does it not crush the latest accounts of university life, the trivial trunks—of rowdy football celebrations?
TRUE IN KANSAS ALSO
Fairness demands that the public be acquainted with the other side of the university life—the studious, routine work, the burning of midnight in the various academic majors, the majority of students, the self-sacrificing work of the various religious organizations, and the successful accomplishments of the Student Council. It is only fair, too, that the publishes the official announcement of the University of Minnesota. It is educating our boys and girls to be true men and women in the highest meaning of the word—fiat to take their place and to hold their own in every sphere. We should help them live lives of usefulness and vice. It is laying the foundation of a higher civil life day by day—year by year. Should not the press notice this serious side of the university—not to the total exclusion of the majority of campus residents in the emphasis on "respect"? Minnesota Daily.

SHALL THIS GIRL GO TO COLLEGE?
This from the father of a daughter:
Exemplified
"My daughter is hardly what you might call a brilliant student; never was. But neither was her mother nor I. Yet her mother wants her to go to college, and I am in doubt. It is worth while?" Nell wants to go: talks about a need for companionship, and all that. But is it for that we send our girls to college?"
Not exactly, of course. But college life for a girl, does mean more than mere studies. It does mean companionship: the joy of friendships of girls of an equal age; identical interests, and above all the value of mixing with the crowd. The far-sighted parent sees this, and often a girl with no sisters, nor many friends goes to college and learns there the insinestable value of teamwork, of play, of self-reliance. Many a girl has gone to college an insufferable little egoist wrapped up in self, and emerged with a fine consideration for others. Morbidity is often changed at college into the whole some spirit of loyalty and of "pulling with the crowd." Again the orderliness of the life at college is what many a girl does not get at home, but soon learns: a greater regard for her health: the value of a life that begins somewhere and ends somewhere. The college of today teaches something more than a girl gets out of her books.
A college man who limits his view of University life to his own campus, and limits his utterances to criticisms of the way things are done by the local "doers," can have but a sadly perverted idea of campus activity, a national function. He sees the weak spots in his home line, or to use a tite phrase, the seamy side; from his small contact with men from other industries, he feels an impression of the excellence of all things in other places, and the gleam of the homely candle pales before the glare of the distant sun.
he would attempt to please members of the Board with his lectures in this chapter.
Prof. Erasmus Tyresum is not going to the Fete this afternoon. Mrs. Tyresum says the professor's eyes have been bothering him lately and she is afraid the strain would be too much.
While that student loan fund is slowly growing, the student's pile is already growing.
Among the younger members of the undergraduate body, this will be found especially true, but when a student reaches Senioral dignity and discretion, he forgets to change his glasses when his glance turns from near and well-known institutions to those he applies. The same is applied, the majority of cases, the same reactions follow. Then a great light breaks in and he realizes that old Alma Mater is not so deficient in spirit after all. He hears the plains of other undergraduate managers in private councils (as some are fortunate enough to do), he finds that the old place which had been a fine subject for the club was finally removed, the Club, was really superior to many of the neighbors, not only in spirit, but in many other respects.
Some gentleman of an unknown name declares that civilization is a mistake, we agree with the philosopher. A system which makes one wear anything more than a track suit during this weather is rotten.

The May dance in England so became a composite one. Robin Hood played, an important part in the legend of Robin Hood's his cycle, including Friar Tuck, Maid Marian, and others, dressed in fantastic costumes were introduced as the Morris-dancers and performed by the May-poles in every town and city.

In the mediaeval May festival an important feature consisted in a nocturnal expedition to the forest where branches, shrubs and flowers were gathered and brought back to the city and afterward were attached to the trees of this door. This became known as “Bringing in the May,” and the “Going a Maying,” became an annual event. Corresponding to the “Bringing in of the May,” it was customary for the young men of the village to bring from the wood, a tree, the straightest and tallest which could be found. This was striped of its boughs, planted with pine needles, on its ground, garlands and ribbons, painted with gay stripes and became the center of dances and games.

Among the Russians there is a spring festival in which all the boys and girls participate. Among the various dances the most attractive is the choral dance called the "Khoraval."

In Scandanavia, the custom of May exercises including dancing and singing and gathering of flowers is dying out, though in Denmark, the peasants still turn out to see the "Sun Dance" and to participate in great popular rejoices which take place in Djurgarden.
In the highlands of Scotland and Ireland the first of May received the name "Beltan" and was originally an important religious festival.

In modern India the "Holi" festival takes the place of the May festival. And so this pretty custom of gatha-majha and dancing the dances, and erecting the May pole, has come down to us from ancient people, who had various motives in celebrating the May. For instance, we have the expression of the aesthetic appreciation of nature's bounty; with others it was an offering to the Delties; while to others it was the mode of expressive nature thanks for her "Horn of Plenty."
The one sad fact about all this is that a man usually has to wait three or four years before learning the truth. If a means could be devised to make it possible for classmates in the art and science (it is both) of boosting home activities, the days of few subscribers to the athletic association, daily newspaper, the literary monthly, or the dramatic playwright, would be the biggest fault in our campus life is not lack of spirit, but lack of perspective, and the sooner our upperclassmen take upon themselves the response toward Alma Mater into the younger brethren, the sooner our campus life will be brought to the plane so long desired by those interested in extracurricular life. No battle was ever fought with them, who mistrust the strength of their armies—Columbia Spectator.

OME of the "livest" campus news stories "break" in the summer. The "Cool Breeze Session" has grown to be a big part of the University.
Regardless of whether or not you will be here this summer, you will take interest in what goes on. Changes in the facutly, changes in the football situation, a hundred things can occur between the close and the opening of the regular session. Why not keep in touch with the University? It need not cost you a cent. Pay your next year's subscription to the Daily Kansan now, instead of next September, and the Summer Session Kansan will be delivered to you free. The North Pole number will keep you comfortable thru July and August; the Historical issue will be all that the name does not imply.
