VOLUME IX.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 2, 1912.
UNCLE SAM COMES TO LEARN HOW TO SWIM
Government Orders Lieutenant to University to Get Information.
HOW DR. NAISMITH DOES IT.
Methods of Teaching Man to Swim in Fifteen Minutes Attracting National Attention.
The coming of Lieutenant Manse is another evidence of the wide-spread interest that has been aroused by Doctor Naimshif's assertion that a man can be taught to swim in fifteen minutes. Numerous letters from all parts of the country have been received, asking for training in swimming and several physical directors or other schools have come to Lawrence to see the system in actual practice.
How to Swim.
The United States government has ordered an army officer to the University of Kansas to study the system of teaching swimming that is used by Doctor James Naimishm of the department of physical education. Lieutenant Manse, who is stationed at Fort Riley, has the detail and will be here this week, returning to the post to instruct Uncle Sam's men in swimming by the University system.
"The system that I have adopted in teaching swimming is very simple," said Dr. Naismith. "It simply goes back to foundation principles. All animals, excepting man, swim in the same position that they walk. The result of this is that swimming is natural in the lower animals; they are in their natural position and consequently use the same motion as when walking.
"The second principle rests on the fact that when a heavy body strikes the water in a slanting position with an impetus almost parallel with the surface it is impossible for the body to sink. Therefore when the body of the swimmer is in the position already described if it has a forward motion it is impossible for it to go down. If the swimmer uses all his power in pulling himself forward, floating will take care of itself. The moment that we attempt to keep the body afloat it is names the vertical position and sinks.
"Teaching men to swim resolves itself into two factors. The first step is to learn to keep the body in a horizontal position with the head slightly elevated but close to the water. To accomplish this it is necessary to make an effort to keep the feet near the surface of the water. The cause of this lie in the fact that the chest, containing all lungs, has less specific function than the lungs so that the feet tend to sink. This makes an effort to keep the horizontal position necessary. The best results are gained by a stroke of the leg from the knee down, keeping the foot well extended and striking the water with its back.
Swimmin' Dog-Fashion
"The stroke that is the quickest mastered, though it is sometimes condemned as ungrateful, is the 'crawl', better known to youthful swimmers as 'swimming'dog fashion'. The stroke is first learned on land. After the beginner has mastered the principle of the stroke he is allowed to go into the pool. Here he must for a time practice the leg motion in order to insure the all necessary horizontal position. After he has attained some degree of perfection in this he must to try the 'crawl' stroke, first with one hand and then the other, floating his body partly by the leg stroke and partly by supporting himself with his idle hand on the pool rail.
"After this a belt is placed about the pupil's waist attached to a short pot, so that there will be immediate aid in case of accident, and he is allowed to strike out for himself. It is not practicable to hold the beginner up as he will then depend on the instructor. Once he has crossed alone he has confidence and in a short time will do eruditably as a swimmer."

To Assist Y. M. C. A. a Evangelist Stucker at Bowersock Theater.
The University Glee Club will sing at the Bowersock theater at a men's meeting, under the auspices of the city Y. M. C. A. Sunday afternoon. This will be the first public appearance of the club down town.
The speakers for the meeting will be Rev. Edwin S. Stucker, who is a noted chantaquia lecturer and evangelist. He has spoken in Lawrence twice in the past six weeks. He is a blessing and forceful speaker.
Besides the above attractions Brown's orchestra will aid in the musical part of the afternoon.
The city Y. M. C. A. has been holding men's mass meetings biweekly during the past two weeks. The city Y. M. C. A. invites the University men. Doors will be open at 3:10, the meeting begins at 3:30 p. m. Admittance by ticket, but the tickets are free.
CHEM CLASS TO K.C.
Industrial Men Studying Me-

and Packers.
The industrial chemistry class accompanied by Professor W. A. Whitaker went to Kansas City this morning to do research work in investigating the soap making and packing house by-products.
Historical Society
The senior girls will not pull taffy night in Robinson Gymnasium as was announced.
The members will visit the Fect Broths Manufacturing Co. to study their soap-making processes and the Armour Packing house to study the processes of making olomargerine, fertilizers and other Facking plant products.
After the pot was boiling, the molasses ready, and hands buttered it was found the date conflicted with the W. Y. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. postexam jubilee, so the party is postponed until further notice from the committee.
TAFFY PULL WILL NOT BE PULLED OFF BY GIRLS
BUTTONHOLE MEN ARE BUSY AGAIN
Gephart's Resignation Caus es an Election for the Student Council.
As an antidote for the week of quizzes, the men of the College are indulging in a little politics today, and next Monday will see a little flurry of the real article that is to come in April. The resignation of Jesse Gephart as a Student Council member from the College has caused a number of aspirants for the office to circulate petitions, and by next Tuesday evening when the Council meets for the election, at least six men will be candidates to fill the six expired term.
Arch MacKinnon, president of the Council, stated this morning that all of the positions, bearing twenty-five names each, must be presented to him by Monday evening at six o'clock. The regular meeting of the Council will be on next Tuesday evening and in accordance with the constitution of the Council, will elect one man to fill the vacancy by Mr. Gephardt's resignation.
Mr. Spotts will go from here to Dodge City. Before returning to Lawrence he will visit Climarron, Garden City, Bucklein, Greensburg, Pratt, Cunningham, Harper, Medicine Lodge, Glowa, Anthony, and Caldwell.
Robert Lee and Harry Weaver were the only men who had presented their petitions by noon today but there are a number of candidates in the field and the election promises to be exciting. A three-fourths vote if the Council is necessary for election.

"The Daily Kansan is arousing interest in the high schools who rave I have been," said Mr. Sports, "and the number of students who read it is only limited by the wearing qualities of the noun."
HIGH SCHOOLS READ
DAILY KANSAN---SPOTTS
K里斯, Feb. 2.—Ralph Spotsa, traveling representative for the Extension Division of the University of Kansas, is in town today arousing interest at the high school in the debating league and explaining the rules to our students. He is much pleased with the progress if the extension work.
Captain J. B. Waters of Topka, one of the last great orators of the old school, has been secured to deliver his famous address on Lincoln for the Friday chapel, and his appearance at the University will probably occasion one of the largest crowds that has everattended a chapel gathering.
CAPTAIN WATERS WILL
GIVE LINCOLN ORATION
Noted Kansan Orator to Be Heard in Chapel Next
The University will hold two memorial services next week in honor of Abraham Lineolin, besides having a day's holiday on Monday. On Tuesday she will speak at the School of Law, will speak at the chapel hour on "Lineolin as a Lawyer."
Reckoned as one of the most forceful and brilliant speakers of the present day, Captain Waters has delivered his addresses in practically every state in the union, and his fame as an orator is moth-wise. His onation on "Kan'ta'na" in war and peace are considered among the masterpieces in our literature.

Annual Post-Exam Celebration b Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. the Biggest Ever.
The annual post-exam jubilee to be pulled off Saturday in Myers hall promises to surpass all former efforts at showing the students a good time. All students are expected to throw away dull care and turn out in force.
Classy vaudeville, such as is not often shown in towns of this size, is to be given by University actors who have consented to appear on the stage only after weeks of negotiations carried on by those who have charge of the entertainment. Other numbers on the program beside the vaudeville are Joan Musselman by Joyce Munson and Charles Younggren; contestionists stunts by Horace Dunn; vocal selections by Lawrence Smith; and piano numbers by Abe Goldman.
It will be impossible to be a wall flower, for special and unique entertainment to get the students mixed and acquainted with one another has been thought out. Besides it is leap year and the girls can take full advantage of this fact.
Eats, not the usual kind, but delicate concoctions prepared by the girls expressly for the occasion, offer further inducements to tempt the men, and girls too, to be at Myers hall at eight o'clock sharp to share in the good time, and to pass judgement on the refreshments.

FACTORY GIRLS AFTER OUR FOOTBALL HEROES
Girls just naturally love men, but when he's a football hero, either in the rough or parlor size and properly polished, his market value is considerably enhanced.
The kids take care of this.
When the sweaters for the "Ken arrived last week, in the sleeves of each was found a note from a factory girl in which she pleaded with the owner of the sweater to be "muh only he-row." The girl's name and her address were enclosed with
It remained however, for some caterin factory girls to take the initiative in securing some real live football heroes and these right from the squad that wore the varsity red and blue on McCook this fall.
Rumor has it, as our extinct contemporary would say, that East Ammons, captain of the 1911 foot ball team, left this morning for various points in the East. He will probably return.
And just think, most of the man have already answered the not "out of curiosity." The next thing will be an exchange of pictures and then—if you see some member of this year's squad at the Santa Fe or Union Pacific depots with a red flower in the upper left-hand button, hole of his coat, anxiously watching all trains from the East, you can pe it down that the University of Kansas has turned out another truly only romance.
COMMITTEE ASK FOR A FOURTEEN-MAN JURY
the missive.
Recommends a Civil Penalty Suit and Other Innovations.
KANSAS CODE FAIRLY GOOD
Improvements Will Come Through Work of University Men on Board of Revision.
The special committee, of which Prof. William E. Higgins is chairman and Judge J. C. Ruppenthal,'95, is a member, appointed by the State Bar Association three years ago to investigate the criminal law and procedure of Kansas, has made its second report to the Bar Association. Among the matters proposed three are of general public interest:
The selection of fourteen jurors to hear the evidence in a criminal case, twelve of whom shall return a verdict, but if one should during trial, die, become incapacitated by sickness, unsoundness of mind, or be found disqualified by law because of circumstances occurring during trial his place shall be filled from the two jurors remaining.
The object of the provision is to prevent mis-trials and consequent delay. However, this provision does not avoid a hung jury caused by ill-feeling of obstinacy on the part of one of the jurors, and the committee, therefore has proposed another measure by which fourteen jurors shall be chosen any twelve of whom may return a verdict whenever they agree upon it. The first provision is possible under the present constitution of Kansas, but the second may require a constitutional amendment. Civil Penalty Suit.
A second proposition was a provision by which the state or municipality might bring a civil suit to recover an amount equal to the fine that might be imposed for offenses punishable by fine only. The suit would be known as a "civil penalty suit," and the person would not be arrested but merely cited to show cause why judgment should not be taken against him upon the facts stated in the pleading filed by the state or municipality. It is not proposed to abolish criminal actions for such offenses, but to make the procedure optional with the authorities. The advantages for such a proceeding are claimed:
First, that as many minor laws of regulation are broken through ignorance, the offender would be willing to pay the amount of the penalty if he is not charged criminally. The amount of a criminal char. a is removed;
Second, that such a proceeding will destroy the stock appeal to the sympathy of the jury not to attach defiant "the smell of the all."
To Improve Criminal Procedure.
A third feature of the report, are provisions by which, if cases are reversed upon appeal to the supreme court and sent back for trial, the entire case will not have to be tried again but only that portion affected by the error complained of. This is probably the most important part of the committee's report, for delays caused by new trials sometimes result in the loss of testimony because of the death, absence, or impairment of the memory of witnesses.
The report contains a number of other important matters looking to wards improvement in the criminal procedure of Kansas, which is recognized as being one of the best in the country and admittedly free from the errors charged against criminal law generally. The University is directly interested because the time and attention of Professor Higgins has been given to obtain such benefits to the people of the state as might come from improvements or might spring from the knowledge that confidence in our courts and procedure is justified.
Owing to the limitations of time, the Bar Association considered only part of the report and continued the committee for further work and report at the next annual meeting.

POOR RICHARD SAYS
Sloth, like rust, consumes faster than the key often used is always bright.
THE NEW QUIZ SYSTEM
Well, what do you think of the quizes by this time? You have had a chance to test thoroughly the new system of examinations and what is your honest opinion of it?
A little inquiry among the students leads one to believe that they do not like the system, and a little inquiry among the faculty indicates that they favor it.
The principal objection offered by the students is that when the mental Marathon is started they are ready for the race but by the end of the week their intellectual powers are so badly used up that they cannot do justice to the quizzes that come during the last few days. Several students have stated that they had from two to four hours of quizzer every day for a week and that yesterday they were completely "all in." One student asserted that he had used his eyes so much during that past week that now whenever he starts to read tears, as big as walnuts, fill his eyes. But this is an extraordinary case. The fact that they cannot do justice to all of their work is the principal objection offered by the student body.
The quiz system used at the end of this semester is new. The Daily Kansan would like to have some members of the student-body express themselves regarding the system.
Most of the professors like the new system. One examination they declare is sufficient to test the students' acquaintance with the subject and the "spreading out" of the quizzes through an entire week allows them to keep up with their work and to get the grades to the registrar at the proper time.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
"An innocent bystander queries whether Mr. Aesop had in mind the University and the Student Council when he wrote his fable, "The Frogs Asking for a King,"—the fable that appears in today's issue.
We'll give it up. Did he?
WHY NOT?
No, we are not making a bid for membership in the Humane Society, but we do rise to remark that the manner in which the University coal supply is hauled on the hill is primitive, unsatisfactory and uneconomical.
The ascent to Mt. Oréad is at the best an almost perilous undertaking, and during the winter when the pavements are slippery, the condition is greatly aggravated. It is anything but pleasing to see two horses straining at a huge load of coal, their feet slipping on of the Union Pacific or the Santa Fernity that flutters in every breast rebels at the sight.
The University gets its coal from Lansing, shipped here either by way
of the Union Pacific or the Santa Fe From the depot it is hauled one of two miles to the top of the "hill." The charge for this is fifty cents a ton and the University uses sixty tons a day in cold weather.
Motor trucks are used by every large business firm that has extensive hauling to do, and their practicability has been demonstrated. The Regents might do well to consider the purchase of one of these trucks for University work. The increased capacity to do work and the time saved during hauling and—again—the saving of the horses makes them preferable from both the standpoint of good business and humanity.
Wesley Stout of the Coffeyville Journal says that the Daily Kansan is in distinguished company; that its need for a cartoonist places it in the same class with the Wichita Beacon, the Wichita Eagle, the Kansas City Journal and other family journals of renown. If Brother Stout will glance at page one he will see that we have said au revoir to this excellent company.
COLLEGE RELIGION.
The religious life of the student will utter itself in a personal quest for righteousness. No life ever comes to have that which the world really trusts and values until it can say in its whole purpose, "I do these things not because they are easy or common or funny or politic; I do them because they are right." If religion is to enter into its own in any educational institution it will be necessary to have a great deal more down-right honesty in college life than there is in many institutions of learning at this time. The sneer that "in college and the custom house it is all right to lie and to cheat if one can do it without being caught, has had much to justify it.
The student who asks to be excuse from a college engagement because he is too sick to work, but who will go to a ball and dance every number or to a football game and yell until his throat is raw, is simply a lilr! The student who copies from another's examination paper and signs his name as if it were his own, is a cheat and a forger. The man who steals spoons from some hotel or restaurant in the town for his fraternity table is not funny; he is simply a thief and an outlaw! The student who spends on vice or dissipation, money furnished by his father for term bills, entering him up in his financial statement as "sundries" or what not, a whelp and a whirl how good looking he is or how well he looks! Dirt is dirt no matter how we adorn it with lace; a lie is a lie, and theft is theft, no matter how they are smoothed over with fine words! There ought to be in all college life rigid, unsympathetic honesty, like that of the bank or the counting-room. The perpetual effort after personal righteousness should stand as an abiding expression of the religious life—Charles Reynolds Brown in The Cap and Gown.
Two real rooters in the first half are worth a brass band in the last four minutes of play—Southwestern Collegian.
AN EDITORIAL BY MR. AESOP
THE Frogs were living as happy as could be in a marsh swamp that just suited them; they went splashing about caring for nobody and nobody troubling with them. But some thought that this was not right that they had to have a proper constitution, so they determined to send up a petition to Jove to give them what they wanted. "Mighty鸟," they cried, "send unto us a king that will rule over us and keep us in the crouch, and throw us into the swamp a huge Log, which down—her flash—into the swamp.
The Frogs were frightened out of their lives by the commotion made in their midst, and all rushed to the bank to look at the horrible monster; but he moved one step forward, move one, or two of the boldest of them ventured out towards the Log, and even dared to touch it; still it did not move. Then the greatest hero of Frogs jumped upon the Log and communicated with him, then thereupon all the Frogs came and did the same; and for some time the Frogs went about their business every day without taking the slightest notice that our new King Log lying in their midst was approaching us, they sent another petition to Jove, and said to him: "We want a real king; one that will really rule over us." Now this made Jove angry, so he sent them to work gobbling them up soon set to work gobbling them up till The frogs replied when too late.
Better no rule than cruel rule.

The first issue of the University Daily Kansan, published by the students of the University of Kansas, came to our desk last week.

IT'S A WARM WELCOME
The students of the University of Kansas are now issuing a six-column four-page daily, called "University Daily Kansan," which is a credit to that far-famed institution and those who herald the publication. It is very neatly printed on good paper, ably laid and next and clean in every particular. La Casc is at the helm with a corps of assistants. Success to the Kansan.

It is printed at the University by a plant furnished by the state.

The boys of K. U. have started a daily paper, (where do the girls come in?) and No 1 is on our table. If every issue follows the first in quality, the staff will have no occasion to be ashamed of their paper. There is no better education than that obtained through journalistic channels, and if the faculty will let the boys learn from the experience, we knots in the door, stick up an arm or two, prepare to enter the newspaper field and take the bumps and thumps as a necessary part of the business. Success to the Daily Kansan.
We have on our table a new daily paper from the Kansas State University at Lawrence. It is a six column folio, clean, newyay, and an up to date little daily. It is edited and published by the University students and is a credit to that great educational institution.

The first issue of the University Cally Kansan was published last Tuesday. This is a venture into the daily field by the ambitious student publication, which heretofore has been issued as a tri-weekly.

publications, and it hurt the pride of the students interested in journalism that K. U. had none and they immediately took advantage of the opportunity to put out one of their own. The paper receives no aid from the state and is kept up by its subscription list and advertising, and is under no supervision but that of the students. The first issue, gotten out under difficulties that will not be removed for a few weeks, is a newsy, six-column, four-page sheet, devoted to the university news and interests. We are glad to exchange with it and hope that every publisher and editor in the state will aid the boys in their new venture.

"The University Daily Kansan" is the name of a very bright paper issued by the students at K. U. It is full of interesting news of the University, is well printed, and if the dreams of the editors come true it will be a permanent feature of the University.

As this is the only school from which we ever got or ever expect to get a piece of parchment which entitles us to handle a handle to our signature, we feel duly proud of the privilege to exchange them.

A Farmer
who lives a few miles east of Lawrence has owned and worked his farm for forty-five years and reports but two crop failures in that time--one from grasshoppers and one from infundation. Douglas county is situated in the richest farming region in the state. The farms are fertile, well stocked, and well improved, and produce fine crops of wheat, corn, potatoes, fruit and garden stuff. Allied to these are large dairy interests, blooded cattle, horses, hogs, sheep, and poultry. An investment in Douglas county is gilt edged.

MASTERPIECES ARRIVE,
"HANDLE WITH CARE"
Famous Paintings Are Here and Being Placed for Exhibition.
The famous canvasses have arrived and by Saturday night they will be hung in place for the exhibition which opens Monday, February 5. A corps of workmen are busy preparing the rooms and unpacking the pictures.
Prof. W. A. Griffith is the busiest man in town this week, directing all the unpacking and placing of dressing examinations to his classes in drawing and painting
About twenty-five large boxes, the paintings came in, and they are covered with directions to express companies and draymen to handle with care, right side up. Some of the inscriptions are in French, having been added when the pictures were exhibited in the Paris salons. The paintings are unpacked and are not secured by an exterior building and carried to the top floor where they will be hung. Some are so large that two men are required to carry them up the stairs.
The exhibition rooms are finely lighted and will show the pictures at their best. The sky-lightts and walls have been covered with fine white cloth and a soft light is reflected into every corner. Nothing is being spared which will add to the beauty and effectiveness of the masterpieces. This exhibition must afford thousands of dollars. About two hundred people, including many of the faculty and Lawrence business men, are backing it financially.
There are only two universities in the country which have these annual exhibitions of famous paintings, the University of Michigan and the University of Kansas.

TRYOUTS ARE SLATED FOR THE BAKER MEET
Track Men Will Work Out on Cinder Path Next Week.
CAPTAIN FRENCH IS BUSY.
Sizing up Material And Has Found Premier High Jumper in Freshman Hazen.
The men who expect to take part in the Baker meet February 12th have been hard at work in the gym the past week. While the squad is not as large as Coach Hamilton had hoped would appear for the first practices, the work that the men who have shown up have been doing is reported to be very satisfactory.
Captain French has found in Hazen of last year's freshman team a high jumper who is making him extend himself to the limit to retain his position as premier high jumper of the valley.
Kabler, Jackson, and Babb are making a creditable showing in the sprints, while Black, Gribble, Smith, and Fairchild are working on the quarter. There is still a scarcity of men how will travel the longer distances.
It was rumored for a time that Rock Crusher Ammons would not compete in track athletics this season, due to a sudden ambition to pose as a baseball star. This rumor grew out of the fact that the Kansas football captain is slated for a position as manager of the Arkansas Travelers this summer. Ammons has decided that he will confine his efforts to management from the bench and is now working every afternoon pushing the shot.
In order that the men who intend to take part in the meet may have a
little work out and give the coach a line on their ability in actual competition tryouts will be held in all events next week.
On Monday there will be a try out for the 35 yard dash, the quarter mile, and the two miles. Tuesday the hurdlers and polevaulters will be given a chance. The half will be run off on Wednesday and the mile on Friday. Tryouts for the shot and the high jump will be held Thursday. The coach wishes all men who wish to enter the Baker meet to compete in these trouts.
The results of the tryouts will govern the entries in the Baker meet only, as there are a number of men who have expressed the intention of getting into the going as soon as the first semester is over.
BASEBALL BOYS ARE POLISHING GLASS ARMS
Enthusiasts Already Beginning Indoor Practice in the Gym.
With the foot ball season scaredly over, and the basket ball season just at its height, the base ball bugs are already beginning to wake up. Indoor practice has started with a vim that stresses good results for the coming spring.
The only indoor work that can be done at the present time is battery practice but several of last year's men are out for this, limbering up and getting their arms and fingers into working shape. "glass arms" and "butter fingers" are still more or less prevalent on account of the winter's rest but these weaknesses are gradually being overcome.
Those trying out for backstop position are: Shorty Ogden, Curtis Hostetter, George Hill and Loyd Charlesworth while Chris Curry, William Busick and Carl Delany are limbering up in the pitcher's box.
Friday and Saturday are fruit salad days at Wiedemann's.

K. U. on Short End of 19 to 7 Score in First Half.
KANSAS FIVE WON
IN SECOND PERIOD
FINALS: KANSAS 31-K.C.A.C. 25.
Hamilton's Men Ran Away From Blue Diamonds in Last Half— Smith a Star.
By a score of 31 to 25 the University of Kansas five took another chip out of the surface of the Blue Diamonds in Convention hall at Kansas City last night. The Athletics started the game with a speed that in the first half completely outclassed the Kansas team, but a wonderful rally was made in the second half and K. C. A. C. finished second best.
The Athletic men played brilliant ball from the start and the lead of 19 to 7 at the end of the first half seemed to give them the game. Goldman was easily the star of the club's team, making several long shots from difficult angles. Coach Hamilton's team was apparently confused at the start and missed many easy chances for the basket. They depended too much on dribbling and too little on passing.
In the last half Kansas came back with a spirit that carried the ball into the territory of the Athletic club, passed accurately and rapidly and soon the score stood 21 to 18 in favor of the club.
Goldman by one of his famous overhead throws and a free throw ran the scare up to 24 but the Kansas five quickly followed the lead with a trio of free throws and some clever passing by Smith. The score at this stime stood 25 to 23, and then came the spectacular feature of the game. Stucky got the ball and winged a long pass to Smith who was standing unguarded under the Athletic's goal. Before a Blue Diamond could come within reach Smith had dropped the ball through the net and the score was tied.
With this lead the Jayhawker team jumped up to 27, two free throws ran the score to 29 and the game ended as Smith received a pass and made a pretty hook shot through the basket.
The timidity of the Kanais five at the beginning of the game was attributed by Coach Hamilton to lack of experience. This was the first game played on a foreign court and it took the men some time to get used to their surroundings. The spectacular finish in the second half competely swept the Athletics of their feet and they were entirely unable to cope with their lighter opponents. Greenleees at right guard was easily the star for the Jayhawk team, shown wonderful ability at dribbling. Smith, who was sent in at right guard near the close of the game, showed great form at tossing baskets.
Goldman and Elliot played a good part of the game for the Blue Diamonds, hooking with great regularity the larger percentage of the baskets. But they put too much off their work into the first half and were unable to meet the rally of Coach Hamilton's men when the second whistle blew.

FRESHMAN SQUAD EAT BASEBALL TEAM FROM TO RECOMMEND "K"
ON MANAGER HAMILTON WENTWORTH MAY COME FOR MINOR SPORTS
First Year Babies Happy After Getting Their Milk and Pie.
The members of the freshman football squad were given a "feed" at Lee's College Inn Tuesday night by the athletic department of the University. These men have been clamoring for eats, close of the football season and it was to satisfy their cravings that Manager Hamilton took it upon himself to order up the "best ever."
Only those who represented 1914 in the inter-class games were allowed to partake of the viands, but the men present were unanimous in voting the meal worth all the work done the first part of the year.
After the feast short talks were made by each member of the squad. Resolutions were passed thanking Manager Hamilton for the "feed" and for all the courtesies which he has shown the freshmen during the entire year. The assemblage then adjourned to treat Coach Bond and Captain Martin to the nickel shows and refreshments at Wiedemann's.

Military Academy Wan Three Games with K. U. in March.
About twelve men would make the visit and the spare time would be spent in looking over the University and becoming acquainted with the town and the students. Their expenses down and back would be paid by the athletic authorities here.
It is probable that the University of Kansas will entertain members of the Wentworth Military academy baseball team for three days during the month of March. Captain J. J. Skinner, head of the athletic department at the Lexington, Mo., school has written with the hopes of arranging a three days' workout for his team with the University of Kansas ball tossers. The dates suggested are March 25, 26 and 27.
Pure molasses, pure sugar, 'fresh butter, fresh black walnuts is what you get in the black walnut taffy at Wiedemann's.
"It will no doubt be a good thing for both parties." Manager Hamilton said, "and I am willing to do what I can towards pushing it through. The military boys have always had a good team and though dates would have to be arranged that would not conflict with our present schedule it would be fine practice for our team."

Committee Will Ask Board to Recognize Soccer, Wrestling and Swimming.
One of the suggestions that has been considered by the committee here is to surround a small K with a circle. All the letters would be allikes for sports of the second rank if this plan is adopted.
A plan will be submitted to the next meeting of the athletic board for the granting of a letter of some sort to men who represent the University in minor sports.
The K committee, consisting of Prof. E. W. Murray, Dr. James Naismith and Ellis Davidson has been at work on the proposition for some time and though there will be nothing definite decided until the athletic board takes official action the committee will recommend that the men who make up the soccer team, the wrestling team and the swimming team be given some form of recognition.
Fruit salad, Mayonnaise, dressing and wafers, 10 cents. Wiedeman's.
It is the custom in some of the Eastern schools to award letters varying in size according to the rank that the sport in which it is won is held. In others there is a regulation minor sport letter given with initials showing in what branch of athletics the wearer competed.
Since these minor sports have been recognized by the Missouri Valley Conference as competitive sports there has been a discussion among the valley schools as to what will be a fitting reward for the players who take part in them. Several plans have been suggested but as yet none have been definitely decided upon.

S'BLOOD! CONDEMNED TO DIE BY A TUDOR
Sword Play Is Rife in "The Yeoman of the Guard."
ELIZABETHAN AGE DEPICTED
Exact Reproduction of Costumes Worn in Queen Elizabeth's Court Have Been Received from New York
The fifth annual opera of the School of Fine Arts will be given on next Tuesday and Wednesday nights in the New Bowersock Theater.
The play to be given is, "The Yeoman of the Buard," by Gilbert and Sullivan, and the scenes are laid in London in the fifteenth century.
The hero of the story has been condemned to death on a charge of necromancy at the instance of his jealous brother-in-law, who wishes to seize his property. To prevent this he wishes to marry before he is put to death. A traveling jester and maiden happen to pass the jail. The girl consents to take her life. The kid soon pardons the prisoner, who finds to his great astonishment, that the girl which he married is the one with whom he is in love.
The scenes of the opera are a faithful representation of the Elizabeth Age. Phoebe at the spinning wheel, the yoeemen on guard, the minstrel and glee maiden, the funeral procession for the intended execution.
The principals in the play are, Mary Hutchinson, Josephine McCammon, Gertrude Cooper, Madeline Nachtman, Walter Eastman, Nelson Stephens, Edward Kohman, Earl Potter, Oliver Andrews, and Victor Larsen.
The chorus includes, Lucille Arnold,
Jean Lighter, Ruth Ford, Eddy Lyon,
Anna Murray, Winifred Morton, Etto
Luther, and Michael Holliday.
Laurea Kuchera, and Josephine Smith.
The warders are, George Mensch,
Ross Beamer, ittai Luke, Arthur Babb,
Eugene Davis, Ralph Sproul, Sidney
Walker, Peter Zuercher, George Staton,
Frederick McNeil, Carl Dunbar, Chas
Nibson, Howard Weleh, Frank Henderson,
Leon Poundstone, and Edward
Taylor.
Miss Gertrude Mossler has charge of the dramatical part of the opera, and Mrs. Blanche Lyons of the vocal department of the opera, and is assisted by Nelson Stephens.
Costumes for the caste have arrived from New York, and are exact reproductions of those worn in the time of the French Revolution action takes place, and are very brilliant.
M. Sullivan, the author, is noted as being a very rapid composer, and the entire opera, including the musical scores, was written by him in twelve hours. He considered it to be the best play which he has written.
HOW TO TAKE A QUIZ
Psychology Experiments Make a Contribution to Real
Knowledge
mHow much anual labor can a student and still think accurately and swifty? The careful student probably went to bed early and rested thoroughly before going to school. Investigations of the Psychology department show that he was wrong.
The answer is this. If the student wants better results, he should work hard for a short time just before an examination; but if the Professor is easily bluffed by the amount that is written, a higher grade can be obtained by doing 15 or 20 minutes manual labor before a quiz.
Mr. Dickeary, who has been doing research work on fatigue, says that the mind works faster and more accurately after a certain amount and, at least faster, even after a large amount of physical work. In his experiments, the student is given a mind test and then put to work on a gymnasium pulling apparatus for a time varying from 2 to 20 minutes. He is then another mind test. The results show that the brain takes a short time and then diminishes rapidly, while speed increases up as high as 15 minutes hard work.
The Alabama Polytechnic Institute received $250,000 from the last legislature.

Politicians made stump speeches for their favorite candidates for president, and the girls argued for woman suffrage. The poll vote taken showed Woodrow Wilson as the high man with Roosevelt second: Woman suffrage lost by a good majority.
MARY HUTCHINSON "ELSIE"
Four hundred students braved the cold weather Saturday night to attend the post-exam jubilee given in Myers hall and all seemed glad to be there. Politics, entertainment, and refreshments made the time pass rapidly. Each one was "labelled" with his or her name and becoming acquainted was easy.
Each number of the program was exceptionally well received. John Musselman and Charles Younggreen pulled off clever impersonations of Italian lovers and villains. Horace Dunn twisted himself up into a knot and did other contortion acts. Lawrence Morris gave a Dutch monologue that brought down the house. Lawrence Smith sang several catch;songs and Madeline Nachtmann played a number of selections on the piano.
Charles Younggreen, chairman of the social committee of the Y. M. C. A, provided the entertainment and Sylvia Alford, chairman of the Y. W. C. A. social committee, had charge of the refreshments.
Jesse Gephart left Saturday for his home in Oskaloosa after completing the work necessary for a bachelor's degree. He will engage in the insurance business in Oskaloosa.
GLOOM! PLENTY OF COAL
TO RUN UNIVERSITY
The coal supply at the present time is adequate for the heating of all the University buildings during the cold weather. Four cars of coal are on the tracks, and the State Penitentiary is in position to furnish more as fast as it is needed. From one and a half to two carloads are used a day under present conditions.
Regents Meet Tomorrow The Board of Regents will meet in the Chancellors office tomorrow morning at nine o'clock.
The Phi Gams entertained with an informal dancing party Friday night at their chapter house.
JAYHAWKER HONORS GO TO DR. BURDICK
Editors of Annual Dedicate Volume to Popular Law Professor
The 1912 Jayhawker board has decided to dedicate this year's book to Dr. W. L. Burdick of the School of Law. This choice was made in consideration of the services which Dr. Burdick has rendered to the University of Kansas and particularly the School of Law, for his evidence that he has furthered the interests of the University as a "teacher, lecturer, and an author."
Dr. Burdick has been almost continuously engaged during the past few years in writing books and reports on law. He has also been much in demand as a speaker, and gave one of the addresses at the Kansas City P, O, P. Ball last fall.

WASH THE RICE!
THERE'S A REASON
University Scientists Find That Directions on Packages Are Necessary
"Wash rice in several changes of water or until water is clear," so reads the directions on all rice packages put up under the pure food law. But why?
The investigations of the State food Laboratory in the Chemistry Building show the rice to be coated with an injurious substance known as talc, or silicate used to fill out defects, and whiten the rice, which only thorough washing will remove. As the directions state no reasons for washing, the unsuspecting housewife is left to think the caution is merely for cleanliness, and the cereal companies evade the pure food law on the pretext that the printed directions comply with the provisions of the law which says that substances used in adulteration need not be stated on the package if in the ordinary process of preparation they are removed.
At present the shelves of the state food laboratory are crowded with all sorts and sizes of rice packages sent in by the state food inspectors, and investigations are being carried on to test the different rice coatings.
Several cases have been brought before the court by the inspectors, and the general decision has sustained their cause.
Y. M. Mass Meeting Successful.
Over one thousand men, most of them students of the University, attended the Men's Mass Meeting at Bowersock's Theater, Sunday, given under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. The main feature of the program were the address on the Family Center for the Visiting of the University Glee Club. A number of similar meetings will be held every night this week at the Baptist church.

Washburn Votes Suffrage.
That a majority of the girls of Washburn College at Topeka are for suffrage was shown by a recent straw vote taken at the school. The girls voted 101 to 59 for equal suffrage.
GLEEMEN WILL SING FOR RAILROAD MEN
Santa Fe to Take Kansas Club on 5000 Mile Tour to the Coast
Arrangements for the trip of the University Glee Club to California are now practically complete. The club will leave Lawrence on February 19 and in the following two weeks will journey five thousand miles to New Mexico, Colorado, and the Pacific coast.

The Santa Fe railroad is paying all expenses and the entertainments are given under the auspices of the Santa Fe Reading Room Department.
The men who will make the trip are: Prof. C. E. Hubach, John Musselman, Lawrence Smith, Harold Jenkins, Clyde Dodge, Findley Graham, Clarence Sowers, Robert Campbell, Harvey Phillips, Victor Larsen, Hal Harlan, Hal Black, Ed. Rhodes and Melvin Kates.
IS YOUR SUGAR SWEET
Here's a Simple Test to Find Out If It's Adul-
Oscar E. Harder, state food analyst,
has discovered a simple home test for
detecting adulteration of confectioner's
sugar.
The girls can easily test their sugar for starch when making candy" and "sugar."
The test is made by mixing one table-
spoonful of powdered sugar with four
of water; if the sugar is pure it will
be used. If not, a mixture of carbonated
the starch sediment will settle.
Tests made in the State food laboratory show that a great many powdered sugars on the market contain a big percentage of starch.

NINTH ART EXHIBIT OPENED THIS MORNING
Nearly One Hundred Priceless Canvasses Are in AdministrationBuilding
PICTURES HERE THREE WEEKS
FreeCollectionPlaced in a Special Room
—Etchings in Hall Show Famous
College Scenes
The pastels and water-colors by James McNeill Whistler<sup>3</sup>—those with the butterfly signature need no praise to make them appreciated. There are nine Whistlers in the Freer collation, which has been given a special room to itself. "A Waterfall in the Adirondacks," is one of Winslow Homer's finest water-colors and Mr. Freer considered himself lucky to obtain it. The landscape by Dwight William Tryon have realistic touches.
The Ninth Annual Exhibition of Paintingls opened this morning at 9 o'clock and it is pronounced better than all former exhibitors. There are nearly one hundred pictures in the collection which has been obtained this year.
One of the masterpieces of the exhibition is "The Awakening Day," by Philip Little. Several boats are starting out from the river bank in a fog, and the hidden sun throws a soft, reverberating glow to the shore which seems to be actually moving.
A number of etchings of famous scenes at the colleges are hung in the long corridor which runs the length of the Administration Building. One is visible above shows the famous old trees which have stood there since colonial days.
On account of the cost of obtaining the exhibition, an admission fee of twenty-five cents is charged to cover the cost. A whole entire three weeks is sold for one dollar.
THE CIRCUS IS COMING
Root's Three Ring Gigantic Gregarious Aggregation Assembling.
Under the direction of Prof. C. B. Root, instructor in physical training; a real sure-enough circus is being turned out in Robinson gymnasium and will be presented to the student body the next month for the benefit of the Women's Dormitory. Stunts of all kinds are being arranged and the regular circus program will be carried out to the dot. Two rings and a raised platform will compose the ground floor and there will be a continuous performance beginning with a three shell game and ending with the indispensible "Grand Concert."
The military and hobo bands will be present followed by troops of acrobats, aerialists, tumblers, bareback riders and Roman gladiators, all topped off with a host of funny, frolicsome clowns brimming over with peppery original stunts. There are enough places open for all students of the University who wish to participate and as the try-outs are just beginning it is not too late to take a chance.
All men who wish to help make this circus the "biggest and best on earth" should hand in their names to either Mr. Root or Carl Babb and get assigned to that particular stunt which they prefer.

ANOTHER CHAMPIONSHIP
ANOTHER CHAMPIONSHIP The University has started well toward a victorious season in basketball. The two games with Nebraska showed plainly that the team was not in form, that they were not used to playing with each other. This was due to their handicap in practice.
The evident improvement that was displayed in the K. C. A. C. and the K. S. A. C. games brought joy to the heart of every rooter. The team is fully capable of bringing back another championship to Kansas.
The victory over K. C. A. C. last Thursday evening was a great victory. The Kansas City men are as fast as any college team that Kansas will play. The two victories over them puts Kansas decidedly in the running.
Don't you think so?
STUDENT NARROWNESS
STUDENT NARROWNESS The narrow knowledge of most students concerning the buildings and the larger interests of the University is hardly believable. It is nevertheless a fact. For instance, how many college students have been inside the Engineering buildings, the Physics building, the Chemistry building, or even the Museum? How many have been in old North College hall? How many engineers have been here? How many lawyers have been through the Museum?
Here on the hill is a magnificent array of state buildings and equipment put here for the benefit of the whole body of students. Yet a large number of students come here, lose themselves in their own little sphere of activity, and forget to look about them at the greater University. They intend to go through all the buildings and see every thing sometime, but that sometime never comes.
The Museum, especially, is a building with which every student on the hill ought to be familiar. It contains a wonderful display of material that is both fascinating and instructive. Yet how many students have seen through the Museum? How many have been it even more than once? Most strangers who visit the University go away with actually a broader knowledge of the buildings and equipment on the hill than is possessed by a large portion of the students. Don't graduate without seeing and knowing your Alma Mater. Get a habit of looking about you.
EXTREME
An exchange says that a student at the University of Minnesota has been declared ineligible for athletics because, years before, he had received a prize of one dollar for winning a race at a county fair. Even the most radical sticker for technicalities will probably declare that this is undoubtedly carrying it a little too far. This brings up the old problem of
one best way to obtain clean athletics. This cry of "professionalism" is one that sounds well and means, possibly, that the victim has played on a bull team at a salary of three hundred dollars a month, or played ping pong for a ten cent cigar.
There are probably men on every football team in the West this year who have received some remuneration for some form of athletics at some time in their life. It often merges into a game of hide and seek with the eligibility committee to keep these facts from becoming known. This brings up the question as to the "why" of the eligibility rule on the professionalism score.
If a man comes to school and keeps up to the requirements of his courses there are many who can see no reason why he should not participate in athletics provided he has been in the school a year as an evidence of good faith. The recognition of this principle would probably make cleaner and better athletes. As long as a man is doing his regular work and keeps up to the mark set for all students in the school he should not be barred from playing on a team. If he cannot keep up to the mark he should be dropped from the rolls of the school.
THE SOLICITOR
Now is the time for all good men and true who haven't a good job for next summer to step up and sign away their birthright. Every year after the Christmas holidays, the University is alive with keen eyed and velvet tongued solicitors for Bibles, C. Book of Facts, aluminum ware that will wear, etc., etc, who by hook or crook—mostly both—induce the bravest of our brave to take up a lucrative agency in Missouland or Dingbasa or some other place, there to separate the natives from their hard earned kale .
This year is no exception. The solicitors are here and they have a smoother line of talk than they had last year. Already a goodly number of our usually wise and judicious studies have agreed to spend their summer vacation in an attempt to sell unwilling ones their wares.
The condition is the same in every college. Within a few weeks the host will leave our University to travel to some other educational center there to ply their trade.
All hail the solicitor.

GREAT conflict was about to come off between the Birds and the Beasts. When the two armies gathered, when the beasthesiated which to join, the Birds that passed his perch said: "Come with us;" but he said: "I am a Beast." Later on some Beasts who were passenging came in and said: "Come with us;" but he said: "I am a Bird." Luckily at the last moment peace was made, and no battle was fought against them in the Birds and wished to join in the rejoicing, but they all turned against him and he had to fly away. He then went into hiding and retreated, or else they would have harm him to pieces. "Ah," said the Bat, "I see now

COLLEGE STUDENT AN ENIGMA
Indeed, to people of the outside world, the American undergraduate presents an enigma. He appears to be not exactly a floy, certainly not a man, an interesting species, a kind of "Exhibit X." prismatic habitats that can fascinate, or illustrate, say, a creature "run by galvanized and possessed by the devil."
I mustify part of this lies in the fact that the college man seems determined to keep up this illusion of his partial or total deprivacy. He reveals no unchastened eagerness to be thought good. Indeed, he usually fails to realize this. He levels in his unmitigated lawness, he busks in the glory of fooling folks.
We must find out what the undergraduate really means by his whimsicalities and picturesque attitudinizing. We must find out what he is thinking about, what he reads, what he admires. He seems to live in two distant worlds and his inner life is securely shut off from his outer life. If we would learn the college student we must catch him off guard, away from the "fellows," with his intimate friend, in the chapter house or in his own quiet room, where he has no reputation for devilment to live up to.
On some long, vague walk at night beneath the stars, when the great deeds of his life loyalties are suddenly broken up one will discover the motive of the undergraduate, and below specious attempts at concealment, the self absorbed, graceful, winome spirit. Here one is held by the subtle charm of youth lost in a sense of its own significance, moving about in a mysterious paradise all his own, "full of dumb emotion, undefined longing, and with a deep sense of the romantic possibilities of life."
The American college man worships at the shrine of reality. He likes elemental things. Titles, conventions, ceremonies, creeds—all these for him are forms of things merely. Sham heroes and mock sublimity are specially odious to him. The undergraduate is still sufficiently unsophisticated to believe that things should be what they seem to be—at least his entire inciliation and desire is to see men and things as they are. The undergraduate's worship of reality is also shown in his admiration of naturalness. The modern student has relegated into the background the stilted elocutionary and oratorical contests of forty years ago because these exercises were unnatural. Furthermore, the college man's love of reality is kept in balance by his humorous tendencies. His keen humor is part of him. It rises from him spontaneously on all occasions in a kind of genial effervescence. He seems to have an inherent antagonism to dolefulness and long-facedness. His life is always breaking into a hugh. He is looking for the breeziness, the delight, the wild joy of living. Every phenomenon moves him to a smiling mood. The whole student mood is as light and warm and invigorating as summer sunshine. He lives in a period
And Clear Havana, Too!
"Tis bliss to be alive."
The student forgives and usually forgets the next day. The sense of humor is a real influence toward this attitude of mind, for the student blots out his resentment by making either himself or his antagonist appear ridiculous.
The University Daily Kansan for Jan. 24th, portrayed three Chancellors. Two "long-fillers" and one "club-house." They were respectively, J. A. Lippincott, 1885-89, Frank Strong, present incumbent and F. H. Snow, 1890-1904—Osa-watomie Graphic.
The college boy, with the manner of young men somewhat ashamed of their young men somewhat ashamed of their emotions, does not want to talk much about his religion, but this does not prove that he does not possess the feeling or the foundations of religion. Fact, at present there is a deep current of seriousness and religious feeling running through the college life of America. The honored and influential students in undergraduate circles are taking a stand for the most worth while in academic life.
I have often been asked by people who only see the student in such playful and humorous moods, "Is the American college man really religious?" The answer must be decidedly in the affirmative.
Furthermore, the standards of morals and conduct among the American undergraduates are perceptibly higher than they were fifty years ago. There is a very real tendency in the line of doing away with such celebrations as have been connected with drinking and immoralities. To be sure, one will always find students who are often worse for their Bacchie associations, and one must keep in mind that the college is on earth and not in heaven.
HEROIC HEARTS
Though much is taken much abides; And though we are not a snow that strength Which in old days moved earth and heaven; That which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate; But strong in will to strive, to seek, to trust.
find, and not to yield.
OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
THE FAMILY IS CORDIAL
Greetings to the 35th college daily in the United States, the University Daily Kansas, the first issue of which came off the press Tuesday afternoon, January 16.
Judging from the first issue, the staffhas all the judgement, energy, ability and interest that go to make a college publication worth while; and with the avowed support of the students and alumni of the university, there is small chance of its failing to make good when many other college dailies under less favorable conditions are still doing business at the old stand. -PURDUE EXPONENT.
The first number of the University Daily Kansan contains plenty of news, the editorsials are good and the paper contains more reading matter than any other university daily that we have on our exchange list. Here's our good wishes for the future success of the University Daily Kansan.—STUDENT'S HERALD K. S. A. C.
Arrived at The Varsity office on Monday, No. 1, Vol. 1 of "The University Daily Kansan. Printed on really good paper, in good clean type, the first glance at the paper is rereshing. A further perusal confirms the first impression. Breezy, well written, the style is typically western, and reads easily and smoothly. The editorials we expected to find written in the same bright but rather free-and-easy style as the news columns, but were pleasantly surprised. No less readable than the rest of the paper, the editorials showed none of the looseness in style which characterizes too many inside pages of American and Canadian newspapers. We assumed the suggestion of dignity which, in our opinion, is essential in the editorial columns of a really good paper. Altogether, we do not hesitate to say that the new arrival is undoubtedly in the very first rank of our numerous exchanges.

A PRAYER
One of the breeziest and best of our college exchanges is the new daily of the University of Kansas. The first issue is a praiseworthy journalistic achievement; it equals those of larger and older schools. In addition to the college news, one department is given over to the high schools of the state. Excellent as it now is, it aspires to greater things and its editorial staff imbued with proverbial originality and perseverance of Kansas, will undoubtedly accomplish this result.—UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA STUDENT.
The University Missouri is understood to be reserving mention until the year 1942 when it will chronicle the arrival of the Daily Kansan in its column of "Happenings Thirty Years Ago."
In Shakespeare's and Milton's time it was the custom for gentlemen to ride home from the theater on horseback, hiring the horse, as we do a cab, at a stand. Naturally, each one wished to have the best horse and much confusion ensued, while some poor animals were never taken. A university carrier and the first keeper of a haackey stable at Cambridge, England, named Thomas (or Tobias) Hobson (1544-1631), the idea of placing his horses in line and forcing his customers to take the one nearest the door of the theater. It then became no longer a matter of personal selection, but of "Hobson's choice" that is, "is or none." Milton wrote two poems dedicated to Hobson.—Current Literature.
HOBSON'S CHOICE
Purge out of every heart the lurking grudge.
Give us grace and strength to forbear and persevere.
Offenders, give us the grace to accept and to forgive offenders.
Forget ourselves, help us to bear cheerfully the forgetfulness of others.
Give us courage and graciety and the quiet mind

Spare us to our friends, soften us to our enemies.

A Farmer
who lives a few miles east of Lawrence has owned and worked his farm for forty-five years and reports but two crop failures in that time--one from grasshoppers and one from infundation. Douglas county is situated in the richest farming region in the state. The farms are fertile, well stocked, and well improved, and produce fine crops of wheat, corn, potatoes, fruit and garden stuff. Allied to these are large dairy interests, blooded cattle, horses, hogs, sheep, and poultry. An investment in Douglas county is gilt edged.

TO VISIT TWENTY-TWO TOWNS
Solicited Shop
ps.
High School Debating Leagues, Correspondence Classes, and Social Centers Established.
Twenty-two towns in the western part of the state are being visited by Ralph Spotts, organizer for the University Extension department. He will inspect local conditions and introduce work of the extension department wherever it is desired. Correspondence work, lecture study work, debating and public discussion, and general information and welfare are the branches of the activities of the University extension for which Mr. Spotts will try to create an interest.
In the division of correspondence study alone, there are over 150 courses of high school and University work that can be taken. The lecture courses are especially interesting to woman's clubs and literary societies. Several University professors are now engaged in this work in the eastern part of the state, which was visited by Mr. Spotts last fall.
The High School debating league is also very active in this part of the state, and is proving very efficacious in arousing an interest in high school debating. Several debates have been held under its auspices, and in the spring the contest for the state championship will take place in Frazer Hall at the University.
Then there is the general department of information and welfare which has been called "the University Question Box." Its purpose is no less than to make knowledge of all kinds, more generally available to the people of the state. It will do anything in its power to help prepare a speech, furnish material for debate, or supply information to a city council or commission relative to municipal problems, such as city sanitation, public utilities.
Under this department falls the matter'of the wider use of the costly school plant of the state and the civic and social center movement.
The twenty-two cities to be visited by Mr. Spotts are: Nickerson, Sterling, Lyons, Great Bend, Spearville, Larned, Kinsley, Dodge City, Cimarron, Garden City, Bucklin, Greensburg, Pratt, Cunningham, Harper, Medeine Locke, Kiowa, Anthony, Caldwell, Belle Plaine, Mulvane, Augusta.

WOULDN'T USE LIBRARY
TO SHEVLY CLOSE IT UP
While the University of Kansas library was closed during the cold weather the students were clamoring to get in. It's not so at Wabash. Because students there do not go to the library at night it is likely to be closed every evening.
SO THEY'LL CLOSE IT UP.
Up until this year there were no lights in the building, and the authorities went to the expense of wiring the rooms so that students would have access to the books after night.
An article in a recent issue of the "Bachelor" states that the men are not visiting the library much of evenings and that it was almost an assured fact that the building will only be opened during the day.
SCHOOL CONFERENCE WILL BREAK RECORD
Most Attractive Program for March Meeting—Large Attendance Expected.
The ninth annual conference of Kansas high schools will be held March 15-16 at the University under the direction of the School of Education.
It is planned on a larger scale than ever before and is to be a representative meeting, including every educational activity in the state.
In connection with the conference a luncheon will be held in the Robinson gymnasium.
The State High School Debating League will hold a business meeting Saturday the sixteenth and the annual high school basket ball tournaments will take place, commencing Thursday the fourteenth.
The following eminent speakers from outside the state are on the program: Dr. C. O. Davis of the University of Michigan, the most prominent authority on the reorganization of high schools in the United States, Ella Bond Johnston of Richmond, Indiana, president of the Richmond art association, who will illustrate by slides the fifteen year development of the democratic art movement in the public schools of Richmond; Henry Churchill King, president of Oberlin College, author of many important religious books, who will discuss the psychology of religious education.
Besides these speakers, twenty-seven prominent educators in the state besides ten university professors will take part in the program.
The distinctive feature of the conference will be that all discussions will center about active experiments and investigations being carried on in the schools of Kansas under the direction of the School of Education.

SALINA HIGH SCHOOL WILL EDIT A WEEKLY
Ambitious Students Get
Salina, Jan. 31.—The students of the Salina high school printing plant have decided to publish a weekly newspaper. The paper is to be printed at the high school plant and all the work will be done by the students.
New Type and Will Publish Paper.
The paper will be four pages, the first page given over to editors, and the last will be reserved exclusively for advertising the high school sporting events. The inside pages will be devoted to news. There will be no subscription rates, the paper to be delivered free to those who wish it.
The department has been publishing a monthly magazine, "The Habit" for some time but this with the job work done did not keep the students busy and Professor Karl Miller who has charge of the department notified the students that he was brought before the board of education the same evening and the next morning $43 worth of new type was delivered to the waiting students.
The new publication has not yet received a name but it is expected this honorary degree will be conferred at the next meeting of the editors.
Leavenworth High School, Feb 1: (Walter Hill, Special Correspondent). Debating is the chief topic of conversation now at Leavenworth High School. This season's team is without doubt one of the best that has ever represented the school. It has met and defeated Atchison and Lansing High School and has but one team to meet to win the district championship. The question for this district is, Resolved: That the commission form should be revised in the Kansas statutes insures an increase of efficiency and a decrease of corruption."Leavenworth has won on both sides of the question.

FOOTBALL FIXERS FINISH THEIR WORK Seniors
American College Game Will Be Different Next Season.
MANY CHANGES NEXT FALL
The Gridiron Sport Will Probably
Recover But it Can Never
Look The Same.
"And once again the rules were changed."
When the rooters put on the opening "Rock Chalk" of the 1912 football season and then settle back to watch the K. U. "gladiators" trample St. Marys, there may be a few that will understand just what is going on, but it is safe to say that the majority will be in the same category with a freshman girl at a baseball game.
The old timers who come back to witness the game will wonder what is happening, and the new comers will ask unanswered questions. All that can be said will be "This is a 1912 model football game."
The football fixers, alias the National Football Rules Committee met in New York Friday and Saturday of last week and did things to the football rules. There has been much previous discussion concerning the forward pass, the on-side kick, the 10 yard in four down rule, and about a dozen other things. Some said that the pass must be ablished, others said it must be given back. Cruelty wanted to have four downs to take ten yards, others said that was going back to the old game. Everything was set, according to dope, for a grand row.
But there was no row. Nay! All! Was peace and harmony etc.
When the mist that hidd this Gridiron *Hague* had blown away—football had been reformed again, and without a dissenting vote.
The major changes were as follows:
1. The value of a touchdown is increased from five points to six points, the goal from touchdown and other scores standing as at present.
2. The forward pass will be allowed to cross the goal line and be competed ten yards behind that mark.
Size of Field Reduced
3. The playing field proper will be shortened from 110 to 100 yards.
7. After a touchback the ball will be hit from the 20-yard line instead of a free throw.
6. The number of men allowed on the side lines, now three, will be reduced to one for each team.
5. An additional down has been added, giving the offensive team an additional chance to carry the ball before it has to be surrendered.
8. The twenty yard zone, in which the present rules now provide restrictions to interference with the forward pass is eliminated so that the restrictions will apply now to any part of the field.
9. On the kick-off, the ball, instead of being put in play in the center of the field, shall be put in play

on the forty-yard line of the offensive or kick team. This will lengthen the distance from the kickoff to the opposing goal from fifty-five to sixty yards.
Only Three Officials.
10. The field judge is eliminated
The head linesman hereafter will
keep time and be judge of offside
plays in the line of scrimmage.
11. The five-yard restriction on the forward pass behind the line of scrimmage was retained.
12. Provision will be made that a bounding ball cannot score a legitimate goal.
13. The interval between the first and second and the third and fourth periods is reduced from two minutes to one minute.
14. The loser of the toss at the commencement of the game will have his choice at the start of the sec as to whether his team shall kick off.
These changes have not been put in final form as yet, but Walter Camp, Percy Haughton, and William Morris have been appointed by the committee to codify the new rule and get out the committee's officia report.
Many of the rules show their worth on the face while some of the minor changes seem to be more technical tinkerers. The change of the value of a touchdown from five to six points places a touchdown and goal above two goals from the field.

The restrictions that were removed from the forward pass will make that play more flexible and will therefore kring it into more common use. To counterbalance this play, advocated by the open game faction, the four down rule was introduced by the old style football advocates. They claim the offense is materially strengthened without any additional danger to the player, as the rules against pushing and pulling still remain in force.
Offense is Strengthened.
The rule shortening the field was adopted partly to allow the use of the forward pass behind the goal where the field was short, and partly to strengthen the offense by giving less yards to cover. As an offset for the latter result the kick-off is made from the forty yard line of the offensive team. This tends to lessen the distance that the kick off is sent into the defensive team's territory and make kicks over the goal less common.
The members of the committee who attended the meeting in New York.
The result of all the work done by the committee is to make scoring easier and to equalize the power of offense and defense.

MINNESOTA MAY MEET
HARVARD ON GRIDIRON
Gophers Making Determined Attempt to Place on Crimson Schedule.
It is more than possible that the Minnesota football team may have a place on the Harvard schedule this year.
The students of both schools are anxious to see how the leading teams of the east and the west would rank in an intersectional game.
It is said that Theodore Roosevelt is taking an active interest in the mater and has written several letters to men in the two schools urging the establishment of athletic relations.
The Harvard schedule for next fall promises to be a heavy one whether the western team is given a place or not. There will be nine games played. Maine, Amherst, Williams, Holy Cross, Brown, Princeton, Dartmouth, already have places on the schedule. Vanderbilt University is awaiting the decision of the Harvard authorities as to games to be played early in November. The last game of the Harvard season will, of course be the meeting with Yale Nov. 23.

MINING SCHOOLS MAY GET GOVERNMENT AID
Professor Haworth Head of Committee That Will Petition Congress
$25,000 A YEAR IS ASKED
Importance of Mining Industry Demand Share of Immense Appropriations Made for Agriculture
Reading from left to right:
Professor Erasmus Haworth, head of the department of mining engineering has been elected chairman of a committee appointed by the National Association of Mining Schools to agitate the passage of a bill in Congress whereby the mining schools throughout the United States may be benefitted.

Middle row:—Davis, Lyon, Arnold, Morton, Murray, Blair, Luke.
Bottom row:—Lightener, Bucha an, Kuchera, Nauchtman, J. Smith, E. Smith, Fox.
CHORUS FOR "THE YEOMEN OF THE GUARD"
"One of the most important issues that has ever confronted the mining schools of the country is now before us." Prof. Haworth said this morning. "The government of the United States has for many years past looked after the welfare of the agriculture schools throughout the country because of their relative importance to the nation, but in no instance have the mining schools been taken into consideration. This in itself is a rather peculiar fact when we realize that the freight tomage of the mining industry is larger than that of the agriculture or live stock industry and that the total value of the annual production of the mines is over a billion dollars.
Should Consider Relative Values.
Results Important to Students.
"The occupation of mining carries with it more danger than almost any other of the great industries of the country, and an appropriation safeguarding the lives of the miners could hardly be put to a greater advantage. To further this movement Representative Foster of Illinois has introduced the Foster Bill whereby $5,000 shall be appropriated to each state mining school for the year 1911 and that this amount be increased 15,000 each year till 1915. After this time the amount of $25,000 be appropriated annually to teach a scientific and practical knowledge of the best and safest methods of mining in each state. The bill provides that the appropriation be made from the money secured from the sale of public lands.
"It is the purpose of the Nationa Association of State Mining Schools to enlist the service of the different senators and congressmen in the furthering of this movement. This naturally necessitates a great deal of correspondence and the committee is now in possession of letters from a number of influential men who promise their support. Among these is an autograph letter from Ex-President Theoredo Roosevelt indorsing the bill. Copies of these letters are being made and will be sent to the non-supporters in Congress and the influential mine owners throughout the country.
"The results of such an appropriation in the future can be plainly seen. In the first place it would 'guarantee a steady annual income to the engineering department in every state university. No department in the University of Kansas is fortunate enough to possess such an income as this would be. It would also give the students a better preparation for their chosen career in later life and would enable the school itself to cover a larger field in the course of its instruction. In all probability the vote will be taken in a short time and from the present outlook the outcome will be very favorable."
A. BUSHNELL HART MAY TALK IN CHAPEL
Professor Hodder Will Ask Famous American Historian to Visit Kansas
Ticket takers at the nickels were surprised last night when a group of University students approached the ticket window and—the ladies bought the tickets, without a sign of protest from the men!
Albert Bushnell Hart, the eminent historian, of Harvard University, who will lecture at Kansas City February 17, will be asked to visit the University of Kansas, and speak at the chapel exercises, possibly on Friday the 16th. Professor F. H. Hodder, of the department of American history is trying to get in touch with the Harvard professor at Knox Cellge, Galsburg, Ill., where he is now 1 eturing. Professor Hodder said this morning that he thought it likely that he could induce Doctor Hart to come to Lawrence.

Mr. W. Y. Morgan, editor of the Hutchison News, who attended the Dormitory fund meeting here Saturday is making an active canvas in Reno county in behalf of the fund. Mr. Morgan said that the first to pledge money for the dormitory was a man who at one time left school at the urgent request of those in charge of the requesting department of the institution.
Mr. Morgan is head of the committee for Reno County and expects to have no difficulty in raising the amount expected from that district.
The committee now has four thousand dollars pledged and excellent prospects for more. At the meeting Saturday, a plan of campaign was adopted for the immediate future. The Lawnry committee expects to receive two members who will be invited to help. A complete list of the of the donors will be published in the February number of the Graduate mMagazine.
The Thespian cast which is soon to stage the play "Billy" at the Bower-sock, now knows how the professional interprets the play.

A $50,000 PICTURE AT FINE ARTS' EXHIBIT
Sergeant Kendall's "Reflection," Is Attracting the Most Attention
The highest-priced picture in the Fine Arts' exhibition this year is a large oil painting, by Sergeant Kendall, entitled "Reflection." It is insured for fifty thousand dollars. Kendall is one of America's greatest figure painters and is especially noted for his wonderful lifelike portraits of children. He has been winning models and awards in the Paris Salon in 1891. His sculture has also won many prizes at exhibitions 'in various cities of America.
In his "Reflection" the painter is at his best. It represents a nude child turning her head to look into the glass behind her. The flesh seems soft and warm, and as you stand before the picture, you expect her to turn her head, or move a hand. The drapery and wall paper are of a beautiful dull blue, and a heavy gold frame sets off the colors very effectively.
"This exhibition offers a fine opportunity for the students to become acquainted with really good pictures," said a member of the faculty this morning. "The artistic side of our education is nearly always neglected, because we are too busy with what we can call practical things, but the ability to judge between good, bad, and indifferent pictures is also a practical need. Too many homes show the lack of this ability now, by the ugly, meaningless prints framed u pon the parlor walls. University students should set the standards, yet many of them neglect the opportunities given here to gain this appreciation. These exhibits of famous paintings have been brought for the last eight years through the efforts of the faculty and the business men of Lawrence, yet there are many students who have gone through the University without seeing one exhibition."
The paintings will be on the campus until February 24, so there is ample time for all the busy ones to see them. The galleries on the third floor of the Administration Building are open from 9 to 5 every weekday and on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 8 to 10.

We had expected to be ready sooner, she continued, "but it was found the fixtures would not warrant it was expected and as there was no appropriate room he had to be delayed until a meeting of the Board of Regents.
Under present arrangements the commons will serve lunches on cafeteria plan from 12:15 to 1:30. "We will not be able to serve everything called for," said Miss Day, "but we do expect to far exceed the ideas given out by the Daily Kansan." The serving in charge of the Misses McKittrick tricked Raggedy Andy of the department and two assistants. The serving by the young ladies is entirely voluntary and is not required in the course.
"The present arrangements," said Miss Day, "are only temporary. Next year we expect to have more room and patient and serve on a much larger plan."
BOOSTS THE I. R. AND R.
University Man Replies to Pres. McCall's Article Against Direct Government.
Robert T. McCluggage, a Fairmount College graduate taking graduate work in history under Professor Dykstra, has just completed an eight thousand word thesis on the Initiative, Referendum and Recall. This work, written as a class-room exercise, is a direct reply to an article in the October issue of the Atlantic Monthly, by representative Samuel W. McCall.
Mr McCall strongly opposes the Initiative and Referendum, and cites instances, from the ancient Athenian rule down to the present form of government in Oregon, showing why this form of government is ultimately impossible.
Mr. McCluggage's article was com- pleted about the same time that Mr Jonathan Bourne's reply to Mr. McClai- appened in the January number of the Atlantic Monthly. The work of Mr. McCluggage follows the same lines as Mr. Bourne's, though perhaps taking a little broader view
DR. BURDICK EXTOLS LINCOLN THE LAWYER
Honesty Characterized the Martyred President's Legal Practice.
NOT A SOLEMNCHOLY MAN.
Popular Idea of Great Emancipator as Long-Faced And Sad Erroneous.
"Abraham Lincoln, lawyer, statesman, patriot, martyr, upholder of the constitution, emancipator of the slave, Savior of the Union." These are the titles which Prof. W. L. Burdick ascribed to the foremost American in his chapel address this morning. "And not the least of these is 'lawyer,' he said.
Greatest as a Jury Lawyer.
"Lincoln's knowledge of law was not deep or profound," said Professor Burdick, "but he was well versed in the fundamentals of his profession, and his rugged honesty and love of justice guided him aright in most cases." He was greatest as a jury lawyer. He was often acquainted with the jurymen and would talk to them in an easy conversational style as though he were trying to aid them to come to aoner decision as a friend.
"The court at Boonville, fifteen miles from Lincoln's Indiana home, was a gathering place for the settlers for miles around. Lincoln, when about twelve years old, walked to court every time it was in session and his interest in the law was probably engendered there.
"As far as I can ascertain, Lincoln's first law book was the General Statutes of Indiana of 1824 which contained the Declaration of Independence and the constitutions of the United States and of Indiana."
Entertained Judge With Stories
"The lawyers in those days followed the Circuit Judge to each of his fifteen cities where he held court. Often they would arrive before the date set for the opening of court and would pass the time telling stories, Lincoln, or 'Line' as he was called was then in his element. A personal witness at some of these meetings told me that he had often seen Judge Davis, his fat sides shaking after one of those stories, say 'Well! Well! Mr. Lincoln, what next.' Abraham Lincoln was not the serious statesman then, but rather a rough, rollicking, good humored country boy."
Professor Burdick said that the old notion that Lincoln never lost a case is absurd. He won 92 and lost 83 of his Illinois Supreme Court cases, and won two out of three United States Supreme Court cases Lincoln was never without a partie in his career as a lawyer. Stuart, Logan, and Herndon were the three men who shared the law practice with him.
Frequently Quoted From The Bible.
"lincoln was a frequent user of quotations from the Bible in his pleadings." Professor Burdick stated. "It is said that, at one tine e.; the opposing counsel requested the Judge to instruct the jury that 'the passage from Exodus, read by the counsel, does not apply in this suit as law.' And Lincoln lost the case."
FORMER KANSAN EDITOR HAS WENT AND DID IT
Another K. U. man has gone wrong.
The mail from the west this morning brought the sad news that a former editor of the Kansan, a man who achieved state wide distinction as an authority on the French Revolution, who was a leader in the all lines of University activities—especially politics, has made a mistake, for which he refuses to repent.
Paul W. Harvey, formerly of Columbus, Kansas, later of the Fittsburg Headlight, later of the Kansas City Star, and latest of the Elma Chronicle star. After being drafted to a Seattle girl on March 7. (Soft music and profuse of krchifts.)
in school P. never displayed any of the qualities of a "fusser" and his invasions of the social life at the University, are confined to one dance at Ecke's Hall. For five long college years P. was a bachelor and was a worshipper at Aunt Carrie's shrine.
And now he is to be married and, as the girl lives in Washington, no doubt to a suffragette. Paul writes that he hates to do it but he can't help it.
The announcement of P's marriages will cause all of the "old guard" who are yet in school, and a vast host of graduates who knew him, to waft him a hearty message of "good luck." Even if they can't understand why

The sleeping fox catches no poultry; there will be sleeping enough in the grave.
POOR RICHARD SAYS:
WHY NOT AN OBSERVATORY?
Through the kindness and public spirit of Mrs. Sara T. D. Robinson and her husband, Dr. Charles Robinson, the University of Kansas has been the recipient of many favors, for which the students of this institution will always be truly thankful. The latest favor has just come in the form of a valuable farm bequeathed to the University by Mrs. Robinson at her death a short time ago. The question now confronting the Regents of the University is: "To what use shall this bequest be put?"
The wish of the benefactors was without question that it should be put to the most practical and beneficial use that can be found for it at the present time. Some have suggested that the School of Medicine should be allowed most of it for its use. While there is no doubt some need of money by the School of Medicine at this time, it is not so pressing but that it can easily wait until the next legislature convenes. One of the things that the University of Kansas needs is a modern observatory. Nearly every other institution in the United States that has any rank at all as a University has an observatory. Many schools much smaller than the University of Kansas have well-equipped observatories.
It is almost an anomaly that this great institution, situated as it is upon an eminent hill, should be without an observatory,-native of hill-tops. The sum of money that can be realized from the Robinson farm should be just enough for such a project as this, and the finished observatory would certainly be a fitting memorial to the two great benefactors of the University.
It so happens that there is no good observatory anywhere near here. There ought to be one somewhere in this section of the country and the place for it is at the University of Kansas, and now is the time to build it.

SWIMMING BY RULE
Several years ago one James Whitcomb Riley mused tunefully on "The O' Swimmin' Hole." His reflections on certain aqueous adventures struck a popular chord in that they showed the innate yearnings of the American boy. His little poem is a poem of the older days when
"dad" took the "kid" down to the pasture pond and threw him in, to watch him sputter and cry and kick and strangle.
His musings also bring back the days when we used to sneak out the back door on a hot summer day and take a "cross-cut" through the timber down to a shady nook in the "crick" there to float and dive. It also brings back remembrances of sun-burned backs, of clothes tied knots by grinning, impish companions and of a wonderful ability to "part my hair in the middle."
But how the old order of things changeth. According to a recent report, swimming is to be taught by rote and a course in aquatic education is made a part of a college curriculum. The boy of today must forget his hereditary instinct to learn by himself. He must now come to school, enroll in a course in swimming—speak "ing" plainly—and take his instruction with the system and precision that is the mark of culture.
Long years ago some one said "Mother, may I go out to swim?" The answer to this appeal was the well-known "Yes...But don't go near the water." It can hardly be imagined that the child of the long ago obeyed the maternal instruction, but it appears that the college education of today presupposes such a thing to be possible.
A course in swimming must be an intricate and wonderful affair The freshman year is no doubt devoted entirely to text-book work in which fundamentals are taught. In order to be a good swimmer one must be well grounded in the subject, and naturally the best place to get well grounded is on dry land. The freshman year follows literally the old injunction not to go near the water.
The sophomore year is naturally more advanced and in addition to a five-hour recitation course, two hours a week are spent in the laboratory where the teachings of the first year are put to the test. The junior year is the senior year in swimming. Here the student is given a complete set of "water wings," life preservers, and other paraphermalis and is coached in the finer points of the sport. The course ends with a graduating recital in which "treading water" and the "high dive," are exemplified in their more refined forms.
A course in swimming is no doubt an instance of the great benefit that may be derived from a college education, but it will hardly inspire Mr Riley or any other poet to celebrate its experiences in imperishable versi-

A T one time the Fox and the Stork were on visiting terms and seemed very good friends. So the Fox invited the Stork to dinner, but she hadn't eaten her but some soup in a very shallow bowl. This the Fox could easily lap up, but the Stork could only wet the end of her long bill in it, and left the meal as hungry as when she began. "I am hungry," Fox, the "soup is not to your liking."

"Pray do not apologize," said the Stork. "I hope you will return this visit, and come and dine with me soon. So a day was appointed when I went home. When we were seated at the table all that was for their dinner was contained in a very long-necked jar with a narrow mouth, in which the Fox could not insert his snout, so all he must manage was to lick the outside of the jar.
"I will not apologize for the dinner," said the Stork;
"One bad turn deserves another."

According to the statistics compiled at Yale from the senior blanks over one hundred seniors are total abstainers from intoxicants and ninety-seven use no tobacco. A large majority are members of churches, the ratio being 196 who are and 75 who are not. Some of the results follow:
THE YALE BUNCH
The average age of the seniors is twenty-two years, nine months and twenty-one days. The average height is five feet, eight and one-half inches. One hundred and fifty-one pounds is the average weight.
The average yearly expenditures for the senior class during the college course is as follows: freshman, $1,026; sophomore, $1,141; junior, $1,136; senior, $1,169. As compared with last semester, the student has increased $82. Four dollars increase in four man year, $66 in sophomore, and $11 in junior and senior years.
The number wearing glasses is 97, those wearing glasses before entering college 97.
The number of men using tobacco is 180, 97 abstain from it. As compared with previous years the number is increased. One hundred and seventy-three men used tobacco and 111 abstained from it, according to last year's ballot. While the number of men using intoxicants has decreased, 157 voted themselves users and 120 total abstainers, against 158 confessors and 123 abstainers in last year's vote.
A very great majority of the class are church members, 196 are members and 75 are not. This shows a decrease from last year's vote, when 226 voted themselves church members. The Episcopalians led with, 66, Congregationalists 54, Presbyterians 39, Roman Catholics 21, Jews 17, Methodists 12, Baptists 8, undenominational 8, and Uitarianists 4. The first three of these held exactly the same positions in last year's returns.
One hundred and two voted for required Sunday chapel and 171 against. Two hundred and twenty-two are in favour of daily chapel and only 51 are opposed.
The Republicans rule as to politics with 155, the independent voters are second with 40, and the Democrats third with 33.
The average number of men in the class with whom each individual is not acquainted is 36. This shows an increase last year when the average was 34.
Twenty men have won their "Y" and 49 their numerals. Tribes abroad have been taken by 102 men, 174 have been taken by 36 men, going to previous丸 95 had been abraed.
The average number of professors is four. Thirty-eight men have never taken a course.
The number of men engaged to be married is 39, two hundred and sixty-three voted no. Five are already married.

BUM CLOCKWORK
To the Daily Kansan;
A chronic kicker? I should say not! Far from that, but I still should like to register a gentle thrush through your new daily. There seems to be something wrong, yes radically wrong with a certain department on the hill.
As we amble up the hill each morning and round the library or the hedge, our wandering eyes instinctively lean toward the clock due south. If we see the correct time or anything like within an hour of it, it would be a miracle indeed. The time told us whether wandering of any Missouri Pacific Express.
You all know that the Physics clock is an electrical devise. And the inhabitants of the said building are geniuses of the said order. Now it seems to be the consensus of opinion that these learned professors of juice should have a little pride in their building. It strikes me that these exponents of the various manifestations of energy and its phenomena could put more time to better advantage by crawling up into the region of the clock and doing a tinkering, than by spending their time trying to find the aqueous tension of a bubble a mile below the level of the sea.
Not only would they be doing some good for the University, but their experience would be of some benefit to themselves and to the students in a practical way. And it is not all theory that the Engineers want but some knowledge of the problems of the day.
LIKES THE NEW SYSTEM To the Daily Kansan:
Too bad! Too bad! What a sad lot must be theirs if, as the Kanans say in a recent editorial on the new quiz system, by the end of the week their intellectual powers are so used up that they cannot do justice to the quizzes that come during the last few days." That must indeed be a pitiful condition It is certainly a shame so to overtay the delicate organism of one's brain.
AN ENGINEER.
For one, I am thoroughly satisfied with the new system, and I had "from to to four hours of quizzes every day for a week," too.
Now, I have talked with several reliable students and, strange to say, they have been almost unanimously in favor of the new quiz system. As for that student who found his eyes weakening and filling with tears as big as walnuts because he used them so much during school, Mr. Chau was wrong; would not have been bothered thusly if he had been in the habit of using his eyes a little more before this week.
The student who has done his daily duty toward a course throughout a semester will invariably find that at the end he can, even in a few hours, review the work and, with little difficulty, summarize it in his mind ready for one big examination. This summarizing, this rounding-out, unifying process is really very valuable, too, to the student who has a reasonable understanding of the subject. It is one grand final round up.
On the other hand, under the olo system there was really no final summary of the subject. It had to be divided into parts and each of these parts assigned to one of the regular class hours, and an hour is a measly little time in which to try to give even a part of an examination, anyway, by apossessiveness of effort, alack of unity, a valueless diffusion of energy
Intercollegiate baseball has been abolished at Stanford and football is expected to share the same fate.

Recent Disturbances on Ocean Bottom May Have Changed JapanCurrent

TO DEPOPULATE THE COAST?
Professor Todd Thinks, However. More Rainfall Could Come to Arid Regions.
2 N solicited Shop s.
"Earthquakes are the probable cause of the recent shifting of the Japan current," said Professor J. E. Todd of the Geology department, this morning.
"There have been severe topographical disturbances in and about Alaska," Professor Todd continued, "and it is not improbable that these disturbances, in the form of earthquakes, have affected the bottom of the Pacific Ocean near Alaska, as well as the mainland of North America.
"If this be so, the Japan current, whose course lies in this vicinity, would undoubtedly be affected. If a deepying current happens to strike a bridge than it has been running over formerly, its course will be shifted."
This is one explanation given by Professor Todd, concerning the recent Alaskan phenomenon. He said that since ocean currents depend, in a large measure, on certain winds for their direction and velocity, it is probable that the shifting of the Japan current is due to a change in the course in the winds controlling it. In this case, it is more than probable that the alteration wrought in the Japan current is only temporary, since an ocean current rarely, if ever, permanently changes its course.
"The effect of any permanent change in the Japan current on western civilization has been exaggerated by the metropolitan dailies," Professor Todd declared. "Civilization a short distance inland would little feel such a change. A higher temperature would lead to the establishment of large seaport towns where at present there are scarcely settlements. However, with a lowered temperature, depopulation might result."

School of Education An nounces Special Courses for Benefit of Teachers.
That the teachers in active service in the vicinity of Lawrence may have opportunity to take advanced work the faculty of the School of Education in the University have organized a Saturday course for next year.
There will be three classes conducted each Saturday morning by Dean Johnston, Professor Olin, Professor Joselyn, Professor Trettian, and Professor Schwegler. Three hours credit in the department will be given.
The new state regulations, practically requiring certificates of all teachers, the increase in the number of teachers who desire advanced degrees either from the School of Education or the Graduate School, and the good railroad facilities of Lawrence are all factors in bringing a goodly number of teachers to these classes and a large enrollment is expected.
Another attractive feature is the new equipment in laboratories and library. With these additional advantages, the teachers will be able to pursue such rank as investigation, individual differences, class records, new systems of grading, habit formation in particular subjects, etc., Then, too, they can keep in touch with the new features in the Oread Training School, and the school would be benefited by their inspection.
The whole movement represents what is most characteristic of modern educational thought—the bringing of the University to the people and keeping the educational plant open.

Heavy Surf on Sea-coasts Makes the Whole Continent Tremble.
A visitor watched Prof. H. P. Cady read the seismograph this morning, and it was observed to be in a state of continual agitation The hair-like point that traces the record on the smoked paper was trembling ever so gently and marking a tiny, wavy line on the record roll.
When the waves beat high on the "stern and rock bound coast" of New England; when the breakers that roar before the wild west winds of the Pacific dash high on the steer sides of Tillamook head, and when the gulf hurricanes pile tons of green water against Galveston's sea wall; then, away back here at the center of the continent, in a dark basement of Fraser hall a hair-like point records on a sheet of smoked paper every blow of the pounding surface.
Breath of Stormy Atlantic.
"I noticed in the papers last night," said Professor Cady, "that there was a heavy storm predicted for the Atlantic coast region. This movement of the needle is caused by the beating of the heavy surf on the rocky New England coast, which makes the whole continent tremble. Sometimes it lasts for days.
Heavy surf on the Pacific and Gulf coasts is also recorded by the University seismograph, so sensitive it is to the most minute movement of the earth's crust, and so elastic and rigid is the deeper part of the crust itself. An earth tremor, or wave as it is called, travels at the rate of two to six miles per second, so it is seen that we do not lose much time in hearing from storms even on the distant shores of Oregon.
"These microseismic tremors, as they have, have only lately been explained," continued Professor Cady, as he noted their continuance on the margin of the recording roll. "It was observed at the University seismograph at Quebec and at other stations on the coast of Germany that the microseismic tremors occurred whenever an area of low pressure was central over the adjacent oceans. The winds that the low pressure areas caused, set up ground swells and violent surf or the neighboring sea coast, which, it has been calculated, is ample cause for the faint tremors that you are watching now."
Other slighter tremors of shorter wave length are recorded when the wind blows strongly and are due to the motion of trees in the wind and the slight pressure of the wind on the walls of buildings.

High School Broadens Out Meet Unusual Increase in Enrollment.
The work is of the Oread High school is to be broadened to a considerable degree for the next semester. During the last term eighty eight students have been enrolled Present indications show that for the last half of the year this number will be increased considerably, and to meet this the following new courses have been arranged for: physiology, home economics, third term algebra, physics, manual training, botany and English history.
"We will be thoroughly equipped for these new courses and will endeavor to give them under the most ideal conditions," said Professor Trettian, principal of the Oread High school, this morning. "The number of instructors will be increased from thirty-seven to forty-two. We are instituting a system of personal records for each student. The object is first, to determine the native capacity and interests of the students; second, his habits of lifelong study; third, his life interests and fourth, his progress in school work. By these records and tests we hope to prevent failures and to develop the greatest amount of personal efficiency possible."

Eagle-eyed Proctors at Columbia.
The first set of mid-year examinations at Columbia were held yesterday in the university gymnasium says The New York Sun, and every student had to take the seat that was assigned to him, first of all being divested of books, notes and other suspicious articles at the door. Just before the preparatory gong was rung the chief of the gumshoe squad took his place on the running track in the gymnasium and with two assistants began a ceaseless patrol. All three were armed with miniature opera glasses, and from their vantage they scanned every seribbling student fore and aft.
One student spent most of the morning munching soda crackers, and got away with it until pretty nearly the end of the period, when one of the "detectives" noticed him gizmo intently at a cracker before he put it in his mouth. The "detective" was too late to get the cracker, and as it was the last one that the student had they couldn't put him out, although they had a pretty good suspicion that the crackers had contained information that had been transferred to the student's examination book. The "disappearing" crib on the end of an elastic that jumps up your sleeve when the proctor comes around wasn't in evidence, and it wasn't possible to work the substitution game because the time-honored pink-backed books which had been used for a generation had given way to pale lavender backed books.

First Regular Practice For Battery
Try-outs at Four O'clock This
Afternoon.
The men who expect to do the throwing and the receiving for the University baseball team will begin real work this afternoon. At four p. m. all aspiring slabbers will begin to develop glass arms and all wielders of the padded mitt will proceed to contract large joints and other well defined marks of hard earned glory.
Coach Sherwin intends to give all the men a thorough indoor drill be fore the weather opens sufficiently to permit the willing workers to gambol on the green. A large part of the indoor work will be given over to sliding for bases and to bunting practice.
Though quite a collection of rea enthusiasts have been working in the gym for several weeks this is the first call to service from the Kansas coach. After the battery try-out have been given a good lead the other candidates will be called out. This will not be for two weeks at least.
The schedule for the team has been finally decided upon, except for on- date on the home diamond which was left open for some team that might be featured as the Jap collegians were last year.
Seventeen games have already been arranged. Of this number eight are to be played on McCook field. A trip of a week's duration will be taken during the month of May. Several Missouri colleges will be played on this trip ending with two games at Missouri.
The schedule is as follows:
Nebraska has given up her place on the schedule and Missouri is the only Valley school remaining on the K. U. list.

GIVES MATINEE MESS
the seventh annual Matinee Mess of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity will be given Saturday afternoon and evening February 12th. This affair is held each year the Saturday before Valentine's day and is primarily for the benefit of the alumni.
The Mess consists of a dance in the afternoon and a dinner in the evening, both of which were originally held at the frat house. The size of the alumni chapter has grown to such an extent, however, that the舞 is now given at Ecke's hall and the Mess is given at the house Carriages will take the guests from the hall to the Phi Delta house. The舞 will last from 3 until 7 o'clock after which a seven course dinner will be served. Besides the active chapter about eight guests will attend.
NOTICE.

Students who expect for any reason to leave the University at the close of the first semester would do well to call at the office of the Extension Division, number 115, Fraser hall. Arrangements may be made there for the student to continue his studies through correspondence. Many are already planning to carry on their work in this manner.

Goal Tossers Meet Methodists The Second Time
Tonight.
Hamilton's basketball phenoms will meet the Methodist five on the Baker court tonight. This is the second time that the two teams have tangled and from the outcome of the former contest it appears that the boys in red and blue should have an easy time bringing home the change.
The former K. U.-Baker game was the season's opener for the Kansas men. The score of that affair was 45 to 15 with the home lads on the long end. Listen, the Baker center was the only visiting player that showed form.
Even admitting that the Baldwin representatives have improved as much as have the Kansas men, there seems little chance for them. There is no doubt that they are in better trim than when they played here as they trimmed the Aggies by a score almost as large as the one inflicted on the unfortunate farmers by the K. U. ball tossers. The improvement made by Hamilton's team in the past two weeks, however, has been remarkable and the most that the Preachers can hope for is to keep the score down.
One thing that the Kansas men will have to contend with on the Baldwin court is the support of the Baker team. No opposing team is so strong that the Baker students will not try to take the game out of the fire by plenty of rooting. If the K. U. five can stand the test of organized cheering they are at last ready to go after the Valley championship in dead earnest.
Amusements.
"Madame X," the most widely discussed melodia of recent years, which Henry W. Savage has arranged to offer here during the present season, was originally produced at the Theatre Porte Sté Martin late in 1907 under the title "La Femme X" with Mme. Jane Hading in the title role. It scored an instantaneous triumph and was the rage of the French Capitol for over a year. "Madame X" comes here closely following its sensation al runs in Chicago and New York.

This Is the Best Alteration
NEBRASKA MUST DIG UP ALUMNI
Now the manager has received a letter requesting that Nebraska pay to Edward Manley fifty large round silver dollars because he thought of the model first and has a patent or the aforesaid design of goal post.
Mr. Manley states that his usual charge for the use of his design is two hundred dollars, but as Nebraska has had them up for some time, he will find a check for fifty dollars very acceptable just now. No action has been taken by the manager or by the board—Daily Nebraskan.
Infringed on Patent Goal Post Receives Request for 50 Bucks.
the Committee Made Says Sherwin
Fresh pop-corn crisp at Wiedemann's.
One of the most peculiar claims ever brought against the University of Nebraska athletic management comes from the office of Edward Manley of Chicago.
Manager E. O. Eager placed a couple of new-fangled goal posts on Nebraska field last fall and those people who sat upon the grandstand and watched the Cornhuskers take the games in gave forth many admiring comments.
"The new football rules look good to me," is the way Coach Sherwin expressed his opinion of the changes made in the college game by the National Football Rules Committee last week.
"The best thing the changed rules will affect, so far as we can tell now, is that the offensive will be made as strong, if not stronger, than the defensive. This will be so, especially since you can now throw the forward pass as far as you want to."
"The change of four downs for the ten yards is a mighty good one, and I am heartily in favor of it," continued the coach, "and it too, will strengthen the offensive, which was very weak last fall when hindered by the shortened forward pass and the twenty vard neutral zone.
PLAY MAY BE MORE OPEN
Field Was Shortened To Allow Use of The Forward Pass on Eastern Gridirons.
"I don't like to see the on-side kick abolished, but the advantages of the freer use of the forward pass ought to make up for this loss."
"Will the changes make the game much more open, or entirely a running game?" the coach was asked.
WHAT GRIGGS SAYS ABOUT THE PRICE OF CIGARS:
Michigan Association Dissatisfied with'Abandonment of Nebraska Game.
As to the shortened field of 100 yards, Coach Sherwin explained that this was necessary to allow free use of the forward pass on the goal lines. "In the east, at Yale and Princeton and other places," he explained, "the enclosure is only large enough for the gridiron. To allow free use of the forward pass, which will scatter the defence, especially on the goal, the playing field had to be cut down to fit the eastern fields, or else you would throw the ball into the cinders or among the spectators."
"We can not tell for sure until we try it, but I think it will tend to open up the play. On the other hand, we can not tell exactly what will happen after they change things all around and cut the rules to pieces about every year. We'll have to try everything out to say for sure."
"On the whole," concluded the Coach, "I like the new rules fine."
The Cigar Habit May Cost the Smoker a Lot of money or it May Cost Him Little. That Depends on the Amount of Money He Cares to, or Can Afford To Spend. If but He Spends little or If He Spends Much It Will Be To His Advantage To Spend It With Griggs, Who Handles Only Standard Goods and Sells them at the Lowest Possible Margin of Profit. TRY him at
The Michigan alumni throughout the middle west are not pleased by the abandonment of the Nebraska-Wolverine football contest. The old grads feel that the contract should have been renewed for a year at least till Michigan demonstrated that the tie game of last season was merely an accident and that Michigan is clearly superior to the Cornhusker school on the gridiron.
THE STORE OF QUALITY, 927 Mass. Street
In a resolution sent to the Michigan authorities the old timers made their stand in the matter very plain After reciting that in the 1911 game Nebraska had made a creditable showing; that the Michigan alumni were largely responsible for the playing and for the success of the contest and that a great deal of unfavorable comment would follow the abandonment of the game on Michigan's part the resolution concluded: "Therefore, be it resolved That it is the sense of the Michigan Alumni Association that the University of Michigan arrange to beat Nebraska in a game of football in the season of 1912."

NO MORE CIGARETTES DON DOUSMAN RESIGNS
"The man who wishes a place on any team that I coach, varsity or freshman, must train or make way for the fellow who will," said Coach Hamilton to his freshman basketball players last night. Give up the cigarettes or quit the team."
The freshman team th 3 year is the speediest first year organization that has appeared in the history of the school. They give the varsity a run for the money in every practice and are often returned winners over the Kansas stars.
The men who were given suits last night are: Sproul, Dumire, Brown Mirau, Sweeny, Bowers, Weaver Painter, Blincoe, Welsh, Hackney and Spiser. Of these men Weave and Sproul are slated for center position. Brown and Dumnie will be two of the quartette of guards. The other guards and the forward are yet to be chosen.
The first opportunity for the world at large to see the freshmen in action will be given Friday night when the freshmen meet the College five in a curtain raiser of the Missouri-Kansas game.
The cause for the coach's wrath was the discovery of a couple of his future basketball stars indulging in the vile weed. Hamilton gave this warning, last night, before giving out suits to the freshmen who will represent 1915 on the court. From now on the rugged path of training will be asked to turn his suit without further proceedings.

LEGISLATION THE CURE

"I fully believe," so says Yost, "that it is not so much a question of rules and regulations that goes to make athletic contests clean and manly, but it devolves upon those in charge of the various athletic teams of every college and university to maintain a high standard of clean, sportsmanlike competition."
Michigan Coach Says Something Besides Rules is Needed to Purify Athletics.
Fielding H. Yost, Michigan's football coach, believes that athletic contests are not to be made clean and manly through rule tinkering or legislation. Rather he believes those in charge of athletic teams are the ones through whom the standard of athletics is to be improved.

Donald J. Dousman, captain of the 1912 basket ball team has resigned his leadership of the Varsity quintette and will leave the University immediately. All this season Dousman has been troubled with a weak heart and has played against the doctors' advice. A severe attack after the Nebraska game led to his decision to quit the game.
His early experience was gained at Manual High School, Kansas City. He was the star guard there for three years and captured the team in his senior year.
"Douse" is one of the star basketball ball players of the Valley. He was chosen All-Conference guard last season, and he was his first year in a college uniform.
Dousman will accept a position in the City Surveyor's office, in Kansas City, Missouri.
ELIGIBILITY OF CHORUS AND ORCHESTRA EXPLAINED
"There is evidently some slight misunderstanding of the recent ruling of the university Council in regard to the eligibility of those who will take part n the Fine Arts Opera," said Professor E. Boodin a member of the Council, his morning.
"The action of the Council was that the members of the orchestra and the chorus of the opera should be allowed to participate in the performance without submitting to any eligibility rules. We believed that their case is similar to that of the band and as this organization is not under the ruling, we made the case for them through the剧院. The cast of the opera is under the same rules of eligibility as are those who take part in any of the dramatic performances."
At the last meeting of the University Council a committee was appointed to work out some practical rules of eligibility for the band and the orchestra.

Irregularity by Silence And
In reply to the recommendation of the Student Council that the eligibility rules be changed, the Board of Regents made public the following letter sent to the Student Council.
"To the Student Council.
"The Board feels great concern over the revelations in the matter of the deficiency of Henry Ahrens. If Mr. Ahrens with the knowledge of a score of his fellows in the law school, in the fraternity, and on the team, can bring this University into disrepute without protest from the student body in its organized capacity, what can we expect by changing the eligibility rules as recommended by the Student Council?
"The Board feels that if it does change the rules the University may be again brought into disrepute in the state with the knowledge of a similar group of some young men's friends. No rules are proof against a shrewd student protected by a small group of accessory fellow-students, who by their silence place football above the honor of their University, and who are willing to see their University held up to the scorn of the people and made the target of its enemies, rather than to come to the rescue of the University and stop scandalous practice.
"If such a group of students, small as it may be, insists upon thus protecting at the cost of the University's good name and at the risk of losing to the University the support of the people of Kansas, the Board must not be blamed if it seriously considers the abolition of football."
The Board of Regents at its last meeting requested the Student Council to investigate the Ahren's matter to learn if any of his associates knew of his insigibility. The council replied, placing the blame on the eligibility committee and recommended new regulations.
The Board of Regents passed a resolution commending the work of Prof. Trettain in studying defective children of the state; it follows:
BOARD COMMENDS STUDY

Resolved: That this Board commend with pleasure the report of Professor Trettien of the School of Education with regard to holding psychological clinics in the Boys' Industrial School; we record our belief that this work in the various state institutions should be broadened insofar as is practicable and include under the Medical School in the eleemosynary institutions to the limit that the Board of Control will permit.

Spring is coming. Also the chigger.
The chigger is not a large animal, nor does he boast of his own importance and make a lot of other useless noise. Notwithstanding his quiet ways, the chigger usually manages to make his presence felt. So far as we know the chigger does not like to sleep and never suffers from the spring fever. In the spring he is man's faithful companion. A man loafs and sleeps a good deal in the spring but the chigger is on the job all the time.

Professor Musterung was the Harvard exchange professor and on many occasions he became piqued at the marked attention paid Professor Smith by the Emperor who particularly enjoyed his American jokes.
The situation reached a crisis when it was reported that Prof. and Mrs. Smith were invited to some particularly exclusive court function and the Munsturburgs were not invited. A formal protest was made to the authorities and heated words passed between the two professors The episode became international and the American papers discussed it freely. In the end neither of the professors or their wives went.
In a democratic country like our this episode between the two me probably cannot be understood but for one reason, the affair was one of great importance.
The subject of Professor Smith's lectures at the University will be:
Feb. 19, "Edgar Allan Poe."
Feb. 20, "Walt Whitman."
Feb. 21, "American Humor."
Feb. 22, "American Short Story."
Feb. 23, "Idealism in American Literature."
HOME OF SAYRE RAZED—
OLDEST FRAME HOUSE
Send the Daily Kansan home.
Dean L. E. Sayre has received word that the house built by his ancestors at Southampton, N. Y., in 1648, has been razed by order of the authorities. It was the oldest frame house in the United States, and had been in the possession of the Sayre family since it was originally built by Thomas Sayre.
All the material in the old homestead with the exception of the glass was home made. The timber, boards, shingles, lath, brick and even the nails, which were curled out by the old village fireplace, were lighted here. Huge fireplaces warmed it.
During the Revolutionary War the house was used by British officers, who compelled the women to cook for them and the men to mind their horses. The valuables at that time were buried until the officers left the homestead.
The Weather.
Mr. Thermometer and Mr. Barometer had a quarrel today but it was only a wee bit of a family squabble. Mr. Barometer wanted to come up and be happy but Mr. Thermometer was grouchy. Mr. Barometer tried to raise the spirits of Mr. Thermometer who decided to remain stubborn and fall so they agreed to disagree and gave out the following report: Generally fair tonight and Thursday. Colder tonight.
CAN TELL 'EM APART NOW
A new Labeling Device in Museum Makes Identification of Animals Easy.
No more need the visitor to the "animal show" in the museum speculate on the identity of "that funny cat with the bushy tail" or wonder "what they call that hump-backed goat over there on the rocks." For a system of artisans who are artistic and highly useful has been designed and placed in service.
A photograph of each group of animals has been framed and placed inside the glass fronts of the large cases, directly before the species represent. This photograph is labeled the common and scientific names of the animals.
"This new scheme will aid the visitors to the museum," said C. D. Bunker, assistant curator of mammals, this morning. "A large part of the educational value of the exhibits was lost when the names of the animals could not be shown with them, as we did in the past." The animals destroy the natural effect of the forest scenery by hanging signs on the rein deer's horns, for instance."
There are over forty groups of animals displayed on the first floor of 'the museum, and the department is planning to secure specimens of the few North American mammals that are not represented here.

One of the Love Scenes Got Tangled Till Prompted From Behind.
DOUBLE CHORUS A FEATURE
Singing of 49 Artists Was. Excellent —Costumes and Scenic Effects Presented Brilliant Scene.
By Alleyne Breck
The fifth annual opera given by the students of the School of Fine Arts, "Yeoman of the Guard," was presented before a well filled house last night in the Bowersock opera house. This is the first student production to be presented in the new opera house.
An opera with a cast numbering forty-nine artists, unique with a double chorus, the warders of the Tower and the citizens of London, accompanied by a twenty-seven piece orchestra, the first of the student productions of the winter promises well for the successful season of University dramatics.
Tower of London is Scene
The scene of the action is laid in the Tower Green of the courtyard of the Tower of London during the reign of Queen Elizabeth. Colonel Fairfax has been condemned to death at the hands of the headman's ax. A plot is hatched by the sargent of the Guard, Meryll, and his son, Leonard, and daughter, Phoebe, in which the rescue of Colonel Fairfax will be effected. Phoebe undertakes to obtain the keys of the dungeon keep from her lover, the head mailer and assistant tormentor.
Before this can be done, the Lieutenant of the Tower grants a last boon to the man who must die at sunset. He is held under a charge of decromancy at the instance of his brother-in-law who wishes to obtain his property. He would rather give his property to any other that his brother-in-law, so begs to be allowed to marry before he is put to death. This request is granted and a strolling gypsy is persuaded to accept him as her husband for the hour. In view of certain money compensation, she goes blindfolded to her marriage and after the ceremony, Fairfax's escape from the tower is effected.
Colonel Fairfax remains within the confines of the Tower as a member of the Tower guard and he makes love to the gypsy to whom he was wedded. He falls in love with her, in earnest this time, and attempts to woo her away from her unknown husband who has escaped and who according to their own belief be the master of the jester, have shot to death. She remains true to her husband and when news of Colonel Fairfax's release arrives, he claims as his bride, the girl he has learned to love.
Miss Mary Hutchinson's singing in the role of Elsie, the gypsy girl, was received by the audience with the most favor and the comic duet of the Victor Larsen and Nelson Stevens as Point and Wilfred Shadbolt was perhaps the most amusing.
Love Making Hard For Jailer.
One unfortunate feature—unfortunate for the player—occurred in the first act when the head jailer was in the toils of his love scene with Phoebe. He, like Barkis, was perhaps a little bashful to begin with, and when the time came to say the awful words they stuck in his throat. The audience waited, while the "tormenter" cuddled up a little closer and at last at the prompting of someone behind the scenes got out his weighty message when he offered the suggestion that he "would make a good 'wife.'"
The scenic view that was obtained at the Grand Finale—the Warriors of the Guard in their scarlet uniforms bearing the long pikes, the citizens of London in the fantastic dress of the sixteenth century and the Colonel in slashed doublet and trunk, all set off with coloré electric lights presented a brilliant

POOR RICHARD SAYS:
Lost time is never found again; and when it does, enough, always proves little enough.
A CREDITABLE PRODUCTION "The Merryman and his Maid," which was given last evening at Bowersock's, was in many ways the best opera that the School of Fine Arts has ever produced. For several years it has been the custom to produce a Gilbert and Sullivan opera and in the previous performances of "Patience" and the "Mikado" the real merit of these light operas has been shown.
In the beauty of its musical numbers,
in its comedy, and in its stage setting,
"The Merryman and His Maid" is delightful, and it is fitting that the cast, the chorus, the orchestra and the directors be given praise for the performance last evening.
Student dramatics at the University are at their best now. In past years there has been a surfeit of "school plays" into which oftimes too much of the mediocre was allowed to creep. Dramatics present a phase of college life that is proportionally as important as athletics. It takes a different kind of talent to appear before the footlights from that required to engage in athletics, and this one talent should receive as much commendation as the other.
--shall be getting behind time, or ahead of time, beyond any possibility of ever learning how to be "on the dot."
"The Merryman and His Maid" as produced last night was a credit to the University.
1T PLEASES US
The action of the Jayhawker board in dedicating the 1912 Annual to Dr. W. L. Burdick, of the School of Law, will receive the hearty commendation of a large number of students who have made the acquaintance of the genial professor.
During his years of teaching at the University he has made himself extremely popular with all the "boys" in the "Lore" school and he has so identified himself with other University interests that he now occupies the enviable position of a campus favorite.
The honor recently bestowed upon him comes with the hearty sanction of a large number of students, who like the present editor, have made Dr. Burdick's acquaintance in the class room.
IT'S TIME
The Engineer is right. There is no real reason why, with a vast host of professors, electrians, and mechanicians, the two clocks at the University that are for public use, are not in proper operation.
That the Physics clock never was or is on time is one of the traditions of the school, and in reverence to the tradition nothing has ever been done to make this time-piece of any use. But we wish to add a word of protest to that of the Engineer. The clock in the Library has been bereft of both its hands for the past few weeks and it simply will not run without them.
Just who is the official clock lizard at the University we do not know. Why not assign some senior engineer to do the repairing and let it count on his thesis work?
If some one does not get busy we
WHAT WE FORGET
Those who have seen Daniel Stuart in "The Prince of Tonight" will remember his oft repeated expression "If I only knew what I forgot." This little sentiment might be applicable to every college student.
Did you ever stop to think how "awfully smart" you would be if you could exchange what you know now for what you have forgotten? A man goes through college and at the end of his course he has hopped, skipped, jumped, and waded through an imposing mass of facts and figures. Now it is hot possible for one to remember all he ever reads and the question naturally arises, what good does it all do him?
A recent communication to the Daily Kansan mentioned this fact in connection with Latin in our schools and it was stated that it is the mental training that we receive in these studies, rather than the actual knowledge retained, that makes it profitable for us. Which is quite true.
But—if what we forget constitutes mental training, there are some of us who are getting more than our share o training.
COLLEGE EDUCATION
Whether a man has a college education or not matters very little. Information is the important thing indeed, the essential thing. He may acquire it at college or he may acquire it somewhere else. If the college professors are good instructors college students must know the process of acquiring information; but, in my judgment, a teacher, like a put, a born, not made.
is born, not mute.
'value high the benefits which I derived from certain of my college professors. Some of them were most excellent teachers and trained some of them misfits. One of the very best and most serviceable of all my instructors was a drunken, strolling Englishman, but he was a born teacher. There is a great deal of time wasted at college by studying things which can be of very little service to the average citizen. The average college curriculum in the United States needs overhauling.
A youth who has not the advantages of a college education, whatever they may be, and they are many, can pursue his studies with great success if he has an acquaintance who can direct him what to study. The college professor who does not arouse in his pupil a love of learning is not worth his salt. —CHAMP CLARK
THAT RENTED SUIT
To appear in a rented dress suit is a mark of hypocrisy. It is just the same as harboring a rented piano or sitting in the orchestra circle when you owe the grocer so much money that he can't afford to advertise in The Daily Student. For several years the advance agents of the "Fore" Hundred have been laboring to get the dancing contingent of the university acclimated to fulldress affairs. Several organizations unable to hold out against the tempters, experimented. Owing to the short crop of dress suits annually produced among the student body, leased, borrowed, and with-love-father-costumes were generally conspicuous. More generally than otherwise, the effect of the scenic travesties were sobbingly theatrical. In time formal dress social functions will hold sway among the student body. There is always an element in society that is bent upon being progressive. People would dwarf in a hum-drum static environment. But to simulate the apparel to which one has not full ownership is not commendable. It may be a profitable experience, but it is insinacious and hypocrisy.
AN EDITORIAL BY MR. AESOP
INDIANA STUDENT.
THE Hares were so persecuted by the other beasts, they did not know where to go. As soon as they saw a single animal approach them, off they used to run. One day they saw a troop of wild Horses trapped in quite an panic all the Hares sutthout a lake hard by, determined to drown themselves rather than live in such a continual state of fear. But just as they got near the bank of the lake, a troop of Frogs, frightened in their turn by the approach of the Hares, jumped in and into the water. "Truly" said one of the Hares, "things are not so bad as they seem:
'here' is always some one worse off
than yourself."
Amorology--the New Major Subject
By Frederick A, Churchill, Jr.
IT is often asked in pedantic magazines—"What effect have college on girls?" It ought to be asked: "What effect have girls on college?" It might be asked that treatments of "Co-education and the Co-ed." It might be well to consider the co-ead as a part of the education of the more masculine residue.
Amorology is the only course in which the failure can honorably employ the eye-trouble excuse. Its tutelary deity is blind.
Perhaps the popularity of the Amorology course lies in the fact that its expenditures are attended by immediate blissful results, unlike the glassware outlay of the chem. major, who has to wait for years ere he can prove his merit by telling an admiring amplier that water is H2O. The Amorologist describes this as his purpose when he hears the sweet glad气yery, "For me? Oh, you do dear" or "How did you guess that I just love La France roses?"
While not found in the curriculum, "Amorology," if we may be permitted so to name that part of a boy's education which is administered by a girl or girls, is at the University a most popular study. This in spite of the fact that it is inexpensive, more so than the chemistry course of the most reckless test-tube smashers. Many a youth is trying to please a chrysanthemum sweetheart on a violet allowance; and more than one student is going about with rain-water in his shoes because there are stars in his soul.
There has been a great deal of discussion as to what type of coed
Amorology is generally a four years' course. The motto under which its students live and love is not that of the seemingly more serious learner, "Improve myself" it is rather, "Improve each shining hour." Yet though it be possible to understand the most amorousist is himself most wondrously improved in the process.
Not these, but cases, are the means by which the student is graduated. From three to six cases is the average of a complete course. These commonly referred to as Freshman, Freshman year, two; sophomore and junior year, one; senior year, two.
Profound psycho-amorologists have analyzed these averages thus: Freshmen, being young and tender, are susceptible; one must consider the puppy-love element with them. Sophomores and juniors are occupied with outside activities and are lamentably prone to neglect their regular work, hence they accomplish only one case apiece, on the average. Two cases may be placed to the crease of the senior amorologist's hand to the regular relation pinks and white finitions must be added the discovery of a soul-mate, the need of which is revealed to him coincidentally with the wider and deeper outlook on life he attains.
Professor James has nobly spoken of the sciences as being mightily foundationed on countless lives of great and unselfish workers. This is no less true of Amorology; for in the pursuit of this most difficult and dangerous form of knowledge, many have fallen by the way. "If the case lasts more than a year," say experienced ones, "he's a goner." Alas, a many, a case many and bravely undertaken for the furtherance of knowledge, has lasted more than a year. But the others are nothing daunted: firmly they press on toward a shining goal but with a passing tear for their comrades' Hymeneal fate.
Amorology has no classroom, no home of its own, except perhaps, the corridors of Fraser Hall. But there* not a lecture room or laboratory in which the sexes meet that is not its province. Who has not seen the youth with the far-away eyes, who sits in the rear-row and sees through the wall something vaguely joyous, that is not visible to the others? Instead of taking notes on the lecture, he draws a square white envelope, something crumpled, out of his inside pocket and studies his Amorology lesson. Or the lad that wanders the campus paths, "sighing like a furnace" because he has failed in this most delicate of subjects. Or the one who gazes fondly at the back of his watch to see what time it is, every ten minutes. A keen observer can pick out any one of the whole delightfully miserable crew.
In line with modern educational practice, there are no conditions in Amorology. No intermediate grades at all, in fact. One may either flunk, or pass with honors. Which depends entirely on something we have not temery enough to undertake here: the mind of his instructress. For let it be known to the prestige of the University, in her Amorology department, the high average of one instructress to every two students is maintained; though, as in other branches, some are more popular than others, and have a devoted class of as many as ten or twelve.
HOW SLEEP THE BRAVE
How sleep the brave, who sink to rest By all their country's wishes blesst! When Spring, with dewy fingers cold, Return to deck their hollowed mould, She there shall dress a sweeter so! Then Fancy's feet have ever trod.
By fairy hands their knell is rung;
By forms unseen their dirge is sung;
There Honor comes, a pilgrim gray;
To bless the turf that wraps their clay;
And Freedom shall awhile return.
To dwell a weeping hernia there.
appeals most to the student whom assiduous pursuit of amorological knowledge has made competent to judge. It is as hotly debated that as other question which still agitates the department: Is a marriage certificate an honor diploma or a flunk notice? A thorough canvas, however, of students prominent in the work has established certain things.
It is impossible to ignore the fact that there are several types of co-eds. They range from the eager high-spirited maid who must constantly be into something, whether politics or hockey, to the duree, intense demoiselle with a numbness that stems from lack of embrorby. From the lax with the delicate air to the suetacued Minerva.
But, alas, how little the male sex appreciates its blessing. Diligent observation and inquiry have revealed one shameless thing. Of all the co-eeds that there be, the youth likes best the pretty ones. And the feminine ones. As a prominent social collegian remarked recently, with rather more force than elegance, "I want to wear the trousers!"
Opponents of the science may advance the argument that many irresistible youths find the greatest charm in a plain face and a purple vivacious mind. But there never was a true mind. But there never laughed at her, even when he approved that his lady was the fairest of all. He sees Helen's in a brow of Egypt.
In fact, as Anon has somewhere so ably said, "degustibus non disputandum." In other words, some like blonds, others brunettes, while as for others, give them the dusky golden locks of Titian. Such varying types of beauty or lack of it are heralded as the embodiment of supreme grace, by various observers not entirely disinterested, as to make one believe that feminine beauty is perhaps only a masculine state of mind, "All in one's eye," and not the mind's eye, either.
The trouble is that our race has only been evolving a matter of a few score acons. Allowing due time for development, the future man will doubtless be attached only by mental charm. This in about a million years.
Meanwhile, fair faces will continue to make trouble for the sons of men. Perhaps for awhile, it's the best thing for the race. However, the time of bondage may be materially shortened by the nobl and unselfish laborers in that branch of science begun at the University of the heroic army that marche under the apron-string banners of Our Lady of Cyprus.
"Pure democracy." It is the thing we most admire in the American university. More correctly speaking, it is the thing we most admire in the student bodies of our American colleges, for democracy has never had a peep in at our college faculties. There aristocracy rules—the wonder of the ages. —SYRACUSE ORANGE

OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
OFT IN THE STILLY NIGHT.
Oft in the stilly night,
Ere slumber's chain has bound me,
Fond Memory brings the light
Of other days around me;
The smiles,the tears Of boyhood's years
The words of love then spoken:
The eyes that shone,
Now dimmed and gone.
The cheerful heart now broken Thus in the stilly night
shimmer's enchant has bound me,
Sad Memory brings the light
When I remember all
The friends so linked together
I've seen around me fall.
Like leaves in wintry weather,
I feel like one
Who treasures alone
Snowy hills balloons deserted,
Whose lights are dead,
Whose gardens dead,
And all he hurt.
Thus in the still night,
Ere slumber's chain has bound me
Sad Memory brings the light
Of other days around me.

"A Formal Introduction to the Birds of the Campus," might well be the full title of the new case of birds that has been arranged on the second floor of the Museum. It contains specimens of the birds that have been seen on the campus, and, more than that, it shows each one labelled with the common name by which the bird is known.
Several of these birds are well-known to the casual observer, but a majority are not known to the average student, at least not by their proper name. Some of them are called "that little yellow bird with the back wings" or "that peculiar-looking pinkish gray bird that lives in the evergreens," but now there is no excuse for a student of the University not knowing the correct English name of any bird that flies across the "hill."
The department of ornithology will welcome any suggestions that may be offered correcting or critiquing the choice of the species of birds represented. These are the feathered University people:
Yellow-billed Cuckoo, Mourning dove,
cardinal, blue-jay, brown thrasher,

Report That Fifteen Professors Flunked Out Brings Gleam of Comfort.
"Tis a hard, hard year," said Registrarian Foster, as he sadly looked over a clothes basket full of student reports this morning. "Not only will the career of a few promising students be checked by the bugleman 'Flunk' but the same mark will be handed to at least fifteen professors of the University."
The Seniors of the Chi Omega sorority will entertain the senior girls of the university informally. Saturday afternoon, February 10 from 1 to 6.
All grades were supposed to be handed to the Registrar within twenty-four hours after examination in order that the Deans could be promptly notified in case of flunks. Very few of the reports were in on time and today noon more than fifteen professors were delinquent.
As one thousand grades yet remain to be written down there will probably be some delay in the issuing of reports. Students desiring their grades at the quickest possible moment should leave a card at the Registrar's office. They will be mailed to them as soon as they are handed in.
"Well, what will they do next?"
Here's the Answer :
All the $27.50 Suits we have left are now included in the big clearance at
$15.00
This makes the line-up as follows:
All $20 Suits, all $22.50 Suits, all $25 Suits, and all $27.50 Suits now reduced to $15.
And here's another big thing: $15 and $16.50 Suits and Overcoats, now $10.
If you wear size 33, 34, 35 or 36, you will find a glorious bargain in our big clean-up of Winter Suits up to $15, now

DICKENS IN CAMP
Above the pines the moon was slowly drifting,
The river sings below,
the sky beyond, unplitting
their murmurs of snow;
The roaring camp-fire, with rude humour, painted
On haggared face and form that droop ed and flatter. In the middle for wealth.
Till one arose, and from his pack's scant treasure
And cards were dropped from hands of listless leisure
In the fierce race for wealth;
To hear the tale anew;
And then, while round them shadows gathered faster,
Had writ of "Little Nell;"
Perhaps *twas*, boyish fancy—for the
reader
He read along the book wherein the Master
Wrote that "Nalak."
reader Was youngest of them all,—
But, as he read, from clustering pins and cedar
A silence seemed to fall;
The fir-trees gathering closer in the shadows,
Wandered and lost their way;
While the whole camp, with "Nell" or English meadows,
would come from that way.
And so in mountain solitudes—o'er-
taken
Their cares dropped from them like the needles shaken
From out the gusty pine.
Lost is that camp, and wasted all its fire;
And he who wrought that spire
Ah, towering pine and stately Kential
Ye have one tale to tell!
Lost is that camp! but let its fragrant story.
Blend with the breath 'hilt BRHls'
With hop-vines' incense all the pensive
That fills the Kentish hills.
And on that grave where English os
and,holly...
And laurels wreaths entwine,
Deem it not all a too presumptuous
This spray of Western pine!

One hundred years ago, on Friday, February 7th, at No. 387 Commercial Road, Landport, Portsea, was born the great English novelist, Charles Dickens.
Dickens is great in his humor and his pathos, but as a creator of character he is supreme. In his gallery are more than one thousand portraits, drawn with an unerring hand, and bewildering in their infinite variety. Little Nell and Fagin, David and Sairey Gamp, Rev Chadband and Peggetty, Little Paul and Sam Weller, Tiny Tim and Mr. Micawber.

K. U. GOAL TOSSERS TOYED WITH BAKER
Played an Erratic Game and Won It 34 to 13
HELD METHODISTS TO 3 GOALS
Not a "B" man on the Baker Team Captain Stuckey Led in the Scoring.
(By a Staff Correspondent
Students at Baker never bet but before yesterday's game they were venturing the opinion that Coach Hamilton ton's quintet would mazke four times as many points as their own five. The score last night was 34 to 13 with K. U. lugging the big end. Which shows that either the Methodists are poor guessers or that the local goal tossers were not up to their usual good form, and the latter guess is probably the better.
The game was an interesting exhibition of Dr. Naismith's creation and the thousand Bakerites who gathered at the ringside enjoyed the pastime even if they were outplayed. Baker entered the game without a "B" man on the team. The Missouri Valley conference rules under the game was played, worked a hardship on most of the team and the regulars viewed the game from the side lines. Captain Liston was eligible but for the past week he has been ill with pneumonia and was not on the floor.
The playing of the local aggregation was erratic. Apparently they knew they had the game einched and they played a reckless and, at times, disorganized game. At shootting baskets they were uncertain and time and again a brilliant dribble would end with a feeble and disappointing attempt at goal. The Kansas guards worked faithfully and held the Methodist forward to three goals. Baker annexed seven points by free throws.
Boehm started the game at center with Captain Stuckey and "Red Brown at forwards, Greenless and Hite playing guards. On the tip-off Stuckey copped the ball and raced down the field for the first score of the game. Boehm followed suit a moment later and scored. He was one end of the big gym, to the other. The scorer the end of the first half was Kansas 18 and Baker 6.
An exciting bit of side play in which Hite and Mueller featured resulted in referee Hoover insisting that Hite be taken from the game. Hite said he tripped the Baker forward accidently but the referee couldn't see it that way. Baldwin was sent in to replace Hite.
The second half started with a rush with the red and blue doing most of the scoring. When Boehm began to show signs of fatigue, Coach Hamilton jerked him from the running and shifted Smith to center and inserted Smith at guard. Smith repeated a previous against the Blue Dinamods and soon added a couple of points.
A summary of the game shows that Captain Stuckley led his men in the scoring with five goals. "Red" Brown shot three baskets and scored four points on free throws. Smith copped three baskets and Boehm made one. Hite threw two goals and Greenlee one. Here are some of the figures on the
With the game never in doubt and the K. U. boys taking long chances at the baskets the game ended with a final score of 34 to 13.

"Football men will please check in all association equipment at once. A man will be on hand every afternoon at McCook field from 3:30 to 5:30 to receive the same. After February 14, check all goods with Mr. Root at the gymnasium store-room. A receipt will be given in duplicate for material turned in."
After waiting patiently for the men who have checked out football suits to make some motion toward returning them, Manager Hamilton issued the above notice today.
Every student in the University should see the paintings on exhibition in the Administration building.
There are over forty-five football uniforms belonging to the University that are still at large. The majority of these are in the hands of the men who used them for the class games. A few varsity suits are still to be turned in.
Manager Hamilton estimated the value of the football equipment that was yet to be returned to the association at something over $1,700. "The association looses a good deal of money each year because some men forget to turn in their athletic uniforms or keep them as souvenirs," said Hamilton. "We are going to see what we can do to cure this forgetfullness and break the keepsake habit."

"CAP" WATERS' WEEPS "BILLY" IS DIRECTED REQUIRE OVERSHOES BY STUDENTS ALONE
Civil War Orator of Topeka Will Talk on Lincoln in Chapel
Captain J. G. Waters of Topeka, a veteran of the Civil war and prominent Kansas attorney, will speak in chapel tomorrow on "Lincoln." Captain Waters will be remembered at the University by his address on "Education" last year which was one of the most popular chapel talks of the year.
During the sixties, Mr. Waters served with great credit as captain of an Illinois company. His personal knowledge of the events during the last part of Lincoln's life will make his address particularly interesting and appropriate.
Captain Waters came to Kansas just after the close of the war and began practicing law. He has been eminently successful in his business, particularly in criminal cases, although his practice has been as varied as that of any other lawyer in the state. He has written poems, and is well known for his oratorical ability
Waters was commencing his plea when one of his associates was observed putting on rubber overshoes. When asked why he was wearing overshoes in the court room, the lawyer replied, "You'll soon see how necessary the shoes are, when 'Cap' commences to turn on the weeps."
Waters' method of pleading to a jury is well illustrated by a story which was printed in the Saturday Evening Post last week.

At the meeting of the Chemical Engineers' Society last evening the subject: "High Explosives." J. L. Bennett, a sophomore who has spent some time in the Independence, Mo. Powder Mill, talked on the early manufacture of gunpowder. The address was illustrated by stereopanic slides. Dr. L. V. Redman discussed the methods of manufacturing Nitro-Glycerin, Dynamite and Rifle powder. He described and gave the composition of numerous powders, Samsonite, Forcite, Tonite, and others, and he told an interesting explosive used by the Russian Government in Siberia. "This explosion," said Dr. Redmond, "is the invention of Dr. H. Sprengel. Cartridges are made of pure Chlorate of Potash and may be transported clear across Siberia without danger. To make them explosive, they are dipped in a solution of Mono-Nitro Benzene and Chlorate of Potash. When used with a strong detonator, they explode with great violence." Dr. F. B. Dains also lectured on the same subject.

Temporary Arrangement Under Home Economics Department Will Give Idea of Patronage Expected
The temporary arrangement, by which the domestic science department is to furnish lunches will give some idea of the amount of patronage to be expected. The alumni will then be able to perfect the plans. The maternal committee shall meet at the annual meeting of the Alumni Association at Commencement.
If the alumni undertake the venture they will conduct the commons on a cost basis and solely for the convenience of the University.
The Alumni Association has had several plans under consideration. One involved putting up, on the most convenient site on the campus, a building that would be adequate for the needs of the eating establishment until the Fowler Shops should be vacated by the engineers. Then the shops would be moved to the home for the home of the University common, and was to start a lunch counter in a small way in order to find out how great the demand would be.
That the Board of Regents is very much in earnest as to providing a suitable eating place on the campus for the convenience of students and faculty is evident from action taken yesterday in the form of a resolution, "that the Board favor the plan of the Alumni Association for the establishment of a University Commons and directs the Board to establish an institution and report to the Board a feasible plan to be agreed to by him and the officers of the association."

Mosse played a guard position on the K. U. team from 1895 to 1898. In his last year of service he was captain of the squad. His strength

Mosse's reputation as a player and a coach had spread to the east by this time and the following year he played on the famous Homestead team, a professional organization, in Pittsburgh, Penn. His services or this team attracted the attention of the athletic authorities of the Western University of Pennsylvania and he was chosen football coach of that college. This position he held for three years and was assigned and returned to its home in Kansas. In 1906 Dr. A. R. Kennedy persuaded Mosse to be his assistant in tutoring the Kansas players. The following year business kept Mosse at home but in 1908, '09, and '10 he was Kennedy's advisor and assistant. Last year, he was not on the regular coaching staff but volunteered his services to his Alma Mater on several occasions. He spent the entire week preceding the Missouri game with the Kansas team at Moberly.

POOR RICHARD SAYS:
by diligence and patience the mouse ate in two the cable.
Just as a cry is heard that professionalism is creeping into athletics, so has a sentiment arisen among a number of the student body in regard to "professionalism" entering into the candy sales that are conducted regularly by the girls of the University.
A series of these sales has so educated the college men to the favorite brands of fudge and other homemade sweetmeats, that keen disappointment was felt last Tuesday when the girls offered the familiar cakes of Hershey with the umistakeable "store marks" instead of the accustomed home-grown varieties.
Why, oh why, do the girls allow this? Isn't it enough that three times a day we are forced to eat everything that reeks of the factory? Why do the girls rob us of a few moments of blissful reveling in delicacies created by feminine hands and concocted over the stove at home?
A SOCIETY EVENT
Within a few days the University Glee Club will give a concert which is to be their final public appearance before their tour of the West.
Kansas has many things to learn from the eastern colleges and one of these is that a Glee Club concert is a social function that should be reckoned among the real society events of the year. The popularity of glee clubs increases every year and the recent tours of the eastern clubs, some of which extended as far west as Kansas City, and the approaching tour of our own club, show that as an advertisement for a college they are considered as without an equal.
At Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Princeton and at all of the other eastern colleges the public appearance of their glee club is a social event that has no equal in affairs of that nature.
Why not adopt a similar custom here? Let us make the concert of the University Glee Club on February 15 an event that will reflect the appreciation that we owe the club.
COME ON GIRLS, WE'RE
This is a great year for the girls. First the suffrage campaign was launched in our midst and then, Mit Oread's hungry were placed at the mercy of the fair domestic scientists Now comes the announcement of a Girls' Athletic Association. This is not a concerted effort on the part of the girls to root for the home teams or to help support them, but is a movement coming from a great yearning that certain of the athletically inclined of the young ladies possess to have athletic events, that will be for girls only. And thus it is that the domains of baseball, soccer, and track, hitherto sacred to the
less deadly of the species, are to be invaded by the gentler sex.
The fact that all the girls interested in athletics are to be placed in different divisions and that contests in all the well known forms of outdoor and indoor sports are t. be arranged, shows that our University co-eds intend to be as thorough in their recreation as they are in things educational. Of course it is presupposed that the realms of football will not be invaded but it is whispered that next fall Coach Sherwin will be asked to coach a squad of—but hush, child, who may forecast the spread of femininity's sphere?
Quite naturally the girls expect to adopt the closed-door policy with respect to the boys and it is forseem that a vast host of the "un-elect" will rise in mighty wrath and demand that the latest creation in athletics be placed on the same fair basis as are all our other college activities.
After thinking it over, the plar for a Girls' Athletic Association appeals to us as being quite the thing
PRINCETON TRADITION
The first address made by President Hibben, of Princeton University, since his election, is conservative rather than radical, and should displease none but those who would hasten changes of administration. His first duty, he finds, is "to conserve the old Princeton traditions." Some of these President Wilson had tried to overthrow, regarding them as too aristocratic. But President Hibben defines conservation not "standing still," but "going forward." It means, he says, keeping old values when they are good and discarding them when they are bad, which is a safe enough definition to satisfy the most progressive. Particularly President Hibben would conserve "the democratic spirit of Princeton," which judges a man by his character and not his birth or wealth. He believes Princeton democratic, and he desires "to preserve the simplicity of our campus life." There may be dangers in his life; life in upper class clubs, but "their defects hinder him" grown into serious evil. He strongly commends the honor system of student government, the preceptorial system of teaching and the development of the graduate school, the quarrel over which is a thing of the earth. He finally will feel it his duty to hold Princeton to its tradition of "the Christian religion interpreted in a broad and tolerant sense." And he ends thus epigrammatically:
"I would close with the confession of my faith in what I believe to be the Princeton idea, to which the Princeton spirit renders its loyal allegiance, and devotion: No pedantry in scholarship; no affectation in manners; no hypocrisy in morals; no disimulation in friendship, and no cant in religion."
Thus the Princeton tradition is the traditional aim of all good high education everywhere as we take it.

ATTY, the Milkmaid, was going to market carrying her milk in a Paill on her head. As she went along she began calculating what she long should have given she would get for the milk. "I'll buy some from Farmer Brown," said she, "and they will lay eggs each morning, which I will sell to the parson's wife, with the money that I get from the schaw that I'll get a new dinithy frock and a chip hat when I go to market, won't all the young men come up and speak to me! Polly Shaw will be that jealous; but I don't care. I shall just look at her spike, the one he spoke, she tossed her head back, the Paill fell off it and all the milk was split. So she had to go home and tell her mother what had occurred.
"Ah, my child," said her mother. "Do not come before before we are hitched."
STUDENT OPINION
The editor is not responsible for the clues expressed here. Communications must be signed as an evidence.
HAVE 'EM SEWED To The Daily Kansan:
The time will soon be rolling 'round when the University catalogue for 1912-13 will be ready to go into the hands of the state printer and in view of this fact it seems to me that a suggestion for a much-needed improvement in that volume will be entirely a propos.
The 1910-11 catalogues of Princeton, Columbia, Pennsylvania, Dartmouth, Michigan, Chicago and Leeland Stanford, and in fact all the first class institutions are bound in the new pinellis binding. This allows the leaves to open much more easily and increases the working efficiency of this much thumbed volume at least 50 per cent.
Get hold of one of these catalogues and try it. I have a catalogue of Michigan which is a treasure indec compared with the old-fashioned stiff-backed volume which we have been using, oh—so many years. That the binding is practical and has no serious objections is evidenced by the fact that many of the biggest and best institutions have adopted it.
We've achieved the University Daily Kansan since January 1. Wouldn't it be a good idea to tighten up our belts another notch and take some more of these scalps of progress while the year's yet young.
Here at K. U. the question will, in its last analysis, be up to the state president of Topeka. But it ought to be easy to handle the few material obstacles aside.
"I DON'T KNOW"
To The Daily Kansan;
H. R. M.
That students come to the University and learn of various branches of knowledge without learning of the University itself, is a demonstrable fact. Visitors to the University campus have expressed their sentiments regarding the inability of students even to direct them to all the various museums and laboratories. Students of English classes have been tested on their amount of information concerning the various departments and their work, with the result that their instructors have found them woefully lacking in what should be common knowledge.
Such students are poor advertisers or the University when they get outside the school and attempt to describe its work and scope. They are also poor advertisements, themselves, for their Alma Mater.
There are various ways through which University students could be presented with the common knowledge of their institution each should possess. English teachers can assign more theme subjects along these lines. Student annuals, the daily paper, and literary magazines, can have occasional write-ups of features of the institution which are now vague in the minds of most students, but nevertheless interesting. Why not a compulsory examination, during the junior or senior year, testing the amount of general information concerning the University?
FROM THE LETTER-BOX
The Daily is a step forward Hurrah!-Dr. F. A. Wilber.
The paper is a "dandy." I fail to find anything to deserve criticism, either typographically or from a news standpoint. The typographical work is skillfully handled, and especially is the general makeup deserving of special mention.
I am glad to see K. U. getting lined up in this work. It will no doubt have the effect of raising the standard of Kansas papers in the course of a few years, and there are a number at the present time which could well afford to study the Daily Kansan and apply the knowledge gained to their advantage.
I want to congratulate the management upon its general appearance and particularly because it's a genuine news paper. It is very creditable.-A. V. Draper, Baltimore, Md.

While "the thoughts we are thinking our fathers would think" those thoughts must keep pace with time and the latest improvements, so that it can never be said of the University of Kansas as told recently of Princeon, that a graduate was worth only $6 per week in the practical, work-a day world.
The field is the world and among the sowers and the reapers in this department of instruction are both men and women. Christ commissioned the men to preach; but it was the two women who were commissioned to "tell the news, and go quickly."

Allow me to congratulate you upon the excellence of your early numbers, and I wish you the utmost success in your undertaking. Your paper sets a distinctly high mark in college journalism. I am pleased to see the West make these Eastern college dailies take notice, for I am from the West, myself.
We have suspended publication during examination period, but you will have an opportunity to criticize our efforts in the course of a week or so. You are fortunate in not having the conservatism of the New England college with which to contain in making innovations in the accepted type of college publication.—H. K.

I want to compliment you on the "Daily Kansas. It is so much better than I thought the boys capable of that I must admit I am sitting back waiting for them to fall down on their first efforts. If you can keep up that kind of a paper, you will make some of us boys who have been in the game ten or fifteen years almost as shamed to compare our papers with it. It is surely a wonderful little paper. Without knocking on the Lawrence brethren, it might be worth their while to turn their papers over to the class of Journalism, and take a few lessons in the art of all arts."—Chas H. Browne, Horton Headlight-Commercial.
I want to compliment you fellows on breaking into the daily game. It is well worth while and I am sure you never will regret having had the experience once you have finished your college work - Edgar Markham, Assistant City Editor, Des Moines Tribune.
Several numbers of your bright, neat, newsy paper are on our desk. We consider it the most up-to-date college paper we have seen, and wish it abundantly—which it surely will attain if it picks up the lick with which it starts out.
I have been reading the Daily Kansan with much interest, and want to congratulate you upon it. It is a well edited paper, and Kansas people ought to feel grateful over the college paper. I assure you that I shall be

They Can't Get the Dope— Bug Banes Make Them
When is a poison not a poison?
When is a poison not a poison?
If you go down to the drug store and buy a package of powder that is labeled "Sure Death to Bugs," you expect results in the way of a decrease in the insect population about the premises. But when the bugs thrive on the so-called death dealing potion and like it so well that they will come and eat it out of your hand, it makes you pretty hot doesn't it?
All this trouble is going to end Over in the drug laboratory they are prying into these much advertised bug banes. They are experimenting on real live bugs. This sounds like cruelty, but in the moss cases alleged "rough on cock-roaches" gives the poor insects a taste of luxury that hitherto has been unknown to them. Of course this isn't exactly right, as it is likely to creat a tendency among the bugs to live beyond their means and when the law is enforced which requires the standardization of destroying agents, the delicious powder and paste now in use will no longer be on the market and the cock-roache; with their many cousins will die from hunger or die from sadness.
Dean Sayre read a paper on this subject at the last meeting of the Kansas Academy of Science at Pittsburg. This paper showed the relative value of various well known insect destroyers, including ordinary insect powder, also known as Pyrethrum, powdered bug bane, often spoken of as Cimicifuga, and a much advertised "death to bugs" potion now on the market.
Dean Sayre's Paper.
Sulphur when burned quickly and completely gets the bugs in great style, but what woman is going to stand for having her lace curtains discolored just to get rid of a few gryllidae. Of course the delicate fabrics in a room could be taken out, but it is a world old custom among the bug race to deposit the eggs in just such places. You have heard a lot about formaldehyde; well forget it at once its average is only 10 per cent as good as that of sulphur. Carbolic acid distributes death in a lavish manner but as it is used it also has its disadvantages. When sprayed upon a plant it not only sends the insect inhabitants to the happy hunting grounds, but makes an end to the plant.
The most of these death dealing potions are recommended for use in hotels, wardrobes, jails and other public institutions where the wily insects combat the ingenuity of worthy house-keepers.

"A person is more efficient in metal work after a little fatigue than he is when supposedly fresh," said Mr. Dockeray of the psychology department, who is doing research work on fatigue.
The person on whom the experiments are being conducted is given some mental work such as adding or multiplying a string of figures and is timed. He is then worked on lifting machines and other tiring devices for a specific space of time and record is again taken of his mental ability. It has been found in the work so far that after a few minutes of fatigue the person does better mental work. Experiments have been conducted as far as 15 minutes of work. At the end of that time the person is not able to walk down the hill. It is the intention to work them as long as 30 minutes after which the person will be so fatigued that he cannot raise him self from the floor.
"It will probably be some time before the experiments will be completed," said Mr. Dockeray with a smile, "because the student or professor doesn't like to sacrifice himself to that extent even in the aid of science."

The Extension Division of the University has just issued its first bulletin of the year. It consists of seventy-five pages and is devoted entirely to the announcement of the correspondence courses and general information for those interested in the work.
According to enrollment statistics upon the twenty-seven leading universities of this country in 1911, Kansas is ranked eighteenth. This shows a greater growth at the University than the average of the other schools. In 1910 Kansas was ranked twentieth Columbia University as last year, continues to lead the schools. Chicago shows the greatest loss of the schools having fallen from second place in 1910 to twelfth in 1911.

Work and Play Join Hands at Rosedale Training
Seniors, get busy. Squires' studio now..Adv.

Does the life of a nurse, while in training, appear as inviting as that of the girl student in a state university? The nurses say that it does. There are between fifteen and twenty nurses in the hospital at Rosedale who have chosen that life in preference to four years at the University of Kansas.
"But the nurses in Rosedale enjoy college life as much as their sisters at Lawrence," said a graduate nurse today. The hospital is situated on a hill by trees. The scene from the hospital is equaled only by that from Oread.
"The nurses life is not all even and menotonous. We have two social evening's a week, one on Saturday night, and one on a mid-week night, Tuesday. On these nights everyone who is not on special duty, forgets his cares and enters into the enjoyment with no thought of a W. S. G. A.
How They Get In
Admittance to the training school of Rosedale, requires certificates from the applicants' instructors in school; from her pastor and from her medical attendant. For entrance, at least a two-year course in medicine and without this admittance is difficult.
There are two phases of the work o the nurse; the practical and the theoretical. Sixty hours of practical work during the week is required, and this follows somewhat the work done in the home economics department. The theoretical work, four hours a week, is carried on under the direction of the University. This includes lectures, recitations and laboratory work.
The nurses in Rosedeale pass through three years of training, and then leave the school to seek their fortunes for themselves.

FOOTBALL SPOILED FOR ITS TAXPAYERS
Elimination of Kicking Element Bad for Spectators Says Dr. Naismith
BUT THERE'S MORE TEAMWORK
New Game Less Open, but Gives Opportunity for Intricate Plays Because of Four Downs.
"A cross between basketball and wrestling" is how Dr. Naismith has characterized the game of football, after its latest emergence from the "locked doors" of the rules committee.
"The value of the kicking game is taken away," explained the Doctor. "The distinguishing feature of the game, in fact, the very thing that gave it its name, has been relegated to a position of secondary importance, and spectacular qualities of the game are in the same measure detracted from. More emphasis will be placed on the throwing abilities of the player as well their ability to push or pull an opponent, after the manner of wrestlers."
"The provision of the extra down has practically abolished the necessity to punt. Thus a greater emphasis is placed on the ball without fumbling, as a team

that is any good at all is sure of a touchdown when they get the ball in their possession.
"Then too, attempts at compromise between the claims of the heavy and light players, resulted in concessions to each side. The increase of the number of points to be scored by a touchdown is advantage to the team with the weights, as well the added opportunity to advance the ball by an extra down.
"As a whole I cannot say that the game has been much benefit from a specator's point of a view; indeed I might say it has been marred; for there will be less of the spectacular kicking and running back of punts, and—to the onlooker—this is one of the most distinguishing satisfying departments of the game. However, I think the game is improved from the standpoint of the tactician and field general. More importance will attach to the headwork of the quarterback and the forethought and planning of the coach. With four downs to count on, plays can be worked out with more certainty and precision, and also, more intricate plays can be developed."
On the contrary, allowing an extension of the limits in which a forward pass may be received is a concession to the lighter team, the one naturally making the most use of the forward pass
"To sum up, the game will require
heavier man, I mean a light man has
less of a chance than formerly. The
game requires greater skill. You be no more personal injuries in any event."
"Finally," concluded Dr. Naismith,
"and what I consider the most important change that will be noticed, is the

sacrifice of individual effort to the preconcerted and organized play on the part of the team as a unit. This will be made necessary by the elimination of running back pants, recovering onside kicks and by the increased amount of teamwork possible when the ball is advanced in four downs."
The Nebraska-Minnesota football game is said to be causing trouble in the ranks of the Cornhusker gridiron fans.
NEBRASKA MAY DROP MINNESOTA CONTEST
Graduate Manager Eager believes that the game should be played, at Lincoln if possible, but if not, then in Minnesota. He says that the Nebraskans have always received fair treatment at the hands of their northern rivals and that they should be willing to oblige the Gophers this year, in consideration of a Lincoln game next season.
Coach Stiehm and others of the Nebraska board, on the other hand, are in favor of forcing the Gophers to terms or giving up relations. This friction claims that the showing made by the Gophers in past years has never been up to stunting, a fact that the trip and the conditions in the north worked against the men.
Financial matters are not troubling the Cornhuskers at the present so this arrangement will not be advanced. It is very likely, however, that the fact that the Nebraska-Michigan game has had no Cornhuskers without a "big eight game" if terms are not made with the Gophers, will have considerable influence.
The Gophers insist that the game be played in Minneapolis and the Nebraska management thinks it is about time a contest is held in Lincoln again. Some of the Cornhusker authorities favor the abandonment of the contest if the Big Eight school does not come to their terms.
Iowa Has Tutors for Athletes A club is being formed at Iowa for the purpose of keeping athletes above in their studies. Members of the club will tutor athletes who are in danger of flunking.

Grinnell College has adopted the Wake Forest system of compulsory outdoor play.
In the fall and spring soccer, baseball, elementary football, track cross country and tennis will be the sports from which each man must elect his favorite. The football will not require any man to scrimmage who does not so desire but all who enter this branch of sport will be taught falling on the ball, punting tackling, and given signal drills.
In the winter basket-ball, handball and indoor track will be students on application and investigation will be allowed to take corrective gymnastics work if it is found that they require it.

The board of control of athletics at the University of Minnesota has sanctioned the paying of expenses of a relay team to the meet to be held at the University of Pennsylvania next spring provided the team next spring shows sufficient strength. The tennis team also is to be sent on an eastern tour next spring.
The Missouri team is more nearly a veteran organization than any other in the valley. Captain Parker and Conkling are both men who played regular positions on last year's team. Groves was a sub on the varsity squad last year. It is rumored that Jack Cannon who accumulated considerable reputation as a basketball shark with the Kansas City Athletic Club team of a couple years ago is now eligible for a place on the Tiger squar and will be one of the Tiger invaders.
The Missouri Tigers will play the first real championship basket-ball game of the local season tomorrow night with Hamilton's men in the gym. The game promises to be a fast and furious contest between the two old rivals. Missouri in the past has always been a dangerous basketball opponent but has not, in the last four or five years, been able to clean up on the K, U, men.
The largest hockey rink in the United States has recently been completed at Yale at the cost of $12; 000. It has an ice surface of 17,100 square feet and the stands have a seating capacity of 2,000.
This year the Missouri team has not played according to dope. They have been more erratic, if that were possible, than have the Hamiltonian quintette.
Opening the season with a rush they took the Ames team down the line two games, one by a score of 25 to 24 the other by a count of 18 to 10. With this favorable start they became careless or lost their stride or something equally bad. At any rate they met the Washington U players in St. Louis a week or so later and the result was two over whelming defeats for the Tigers The score in the first contest was 30 to 12. In the second, the result showed the Pikeway boys with 30 counters to the Tigers' 14.

LINCOLN EULOGIZED WITH SILVER TONGUE
NUMBER 16
Martyred President Theme of Capt. J. G. Waters of Topeka
SECTIONAL WOUNDS HEALED;
In Burst of Old-Time Oratory, Lincoln Given Credit of Unified
Nation.
"It is an honor that divides itself with pleasure to address any people on the subject of Abraham Lincoln," were the opening words of Captain J. G. Waters in chapel this morning, and not only to the captain was the address an honor and a pleasure, but it also was to the fifteen hundred students that crowded the ancient auditorium of Fraser to its fullest capacity.
CAST IN THESPIAN PLAY. "BILLY."
Captain Waters is a silver-tongued orator of the old school, of the race of speakers that flourished before the war, and his address this morning was not a disappointment to those who, despite their dislike of the "straight-from-the-shoulder" speakers, still have a warm place in their hearts for the "flowers of human speech."
Poverty of Lincoln
Captain Waters outlined the early history of the poverty and the struggles of Lincoln to get an education, then told in a heartfelt manner of the fight with Douglas in Illinois and of his final triumphs, and martyrdom. In Illinois he was shot by the war and South with the war forty years in the past, Captain Waters said.
CIRCLE OF SCHOOL MEMBERS
"The war that devastated north and south alike has long been overtired wounds are largely healed or hidden in our sleeves. With the years have gone the brave and valorous brothers who endured, who fought, who tell: each conscious of his own integrity and believing in his cause. The opposing army is divided among those ing, loud mouthed muskets are rasted beyond salute, and the spider weaves his filmy web in their corrupted muzzles, all the long, long summers through.
"The great armies have disappeared, a few loters, struggling with age and infirmity, but the mighty hosts are history; the superb corps have vanished; the fighting regiments are gone. The noisy drums are hushed, and the turbulent bugles that stirred the camps, they are murmurless as graves in the depths of a glacier sea. The grass covers all hate and the skies bend above brothers who have forgotten all but the pride of manly fight."
Pror. Blackmar Tells of Success of Municipal Ownership in Kansas Towns
PRAISES SABETHA PLAN
Top Row: Virginia Elward, Russell Clark, George Station, Hazel Clark.
Middle row: Ike Lambert, Maurie e Fairweather, Claude Sowers, George Edwards, Clarence Sowers.
Bottom row: Ward Maris, Margaret Roberts, Lucy Culp, Robert Thomas.
The town of Sabethea, Kansas is receiving considerable attention from the economics department of the University. The municipal heating plant which pipes steam heat to every house in town, is the unique plan adopted by Sabethes which is drawing the attention of the state. White Lawrence, Leavenworth and Attichon were hovering over their lukewarm gas stoves during the late zero weather. Sabethea was very comfortable with its feet propped up in front of hot radiators, warmed from the central heating plant of the city.
The plant is owned and operated by the citizens, as are the town's telephones electric lights, and water works.
It is the opinion of Prof. F. W. Blackmar, head of the department of economics, that the Nemaha County town has the right idea and an almost ideal form of government.
"They do not practice socialism, as most people understand the term," Prof. Blackmar told one of his classes, "But the townpeople in Sabetha have the utmost individual liberty, and at the same time the community at large is considered. This, to my mind, is the ideal in city government. I do not know whether the Sabetha idea could be applied to a state or any other large unit, but it certainly seems to be a success in that town."

The Thespian Dramatic Club has received an offer from the management of the Emporia Dramatic Club to present "Billy" in that city after it is given in the Bowersock theater Monday. Price Holmes, who graduated from the University on 1907, watched the rehearsal of the play last night. Holmes is the manager of the Emporia club.
Price Holmes Enthusiastic Over Rehearsal Last Night—Offer to Present Comedy in Emporia.
"The rehearsal satisfies me that the presentation of 'Billy' by the Thespians will be one of the greatest successes in the history of student dramatics at the University of Kansas." Mr. Holmes said. "It is one of the most pleasing comedies I have ever seen, and the Thespian cast is unusually well suited for the different parts."
Mr. Holmes was especially enthusiastic over the Boatswain and the Sailor. These characters are taken by Ward Maris and Robert Thomas. There is about two feet difference in their heights, and the Boatswain is slim and the Sailor broad. Their appearance on the stage is sufficient for a burst of laughter.

"POST NO BILLS" ON TO TEST DEFECTIVE CITY TELEPHONE POLES BRIDGE CONCRET

There is trouble in store for the offenders who persist in placing posters on telephone poles and trees in advertising coming events, according to City Attorney Mitchell. Several persons have complained of the posters. This morning he sent the marshal out to investigate.
It was found that almost every available post and pole was literally covered with posters of all sizes, colors, and description, advertising University affairs and functions foreign to the University. The authorities are hunting for persons. They are tracing them through the advertisements on the poster.

The city attorney has said that one more warning will be given officially through the papers and later if offenders are caught arrests will be made.
Holiday Monday
Registrar George O. Foster has been compelled to inform students that their credit in Rhetoric has been cancelled, pending final action of the Department of English. This is in accordance with the following action taken by the college faculty last year:
Registrar Foster has Cancelled the Points of Several Students Who "Shaurter Our Language"
"When any instructor reports that a student is deficient in his use of the English language, the Registrar will notify the student of that fact and warn him that he is in danger of losing his credit in Freshman Rhetoric.
Monday Monday
It has been officially announced that in honor of the anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birthday no classes will convene Monday.
"Whenever two or more of the student's instructors make adverse reports, the Registrar will notify the English Department of that fact, and shall cancel the student's credit for Rhetoric. The English Department may veto the action of the Registrar whenever it is apparent that such cancellation would be unjust. Unless the Department intervenes, the student will be required to re-enroll in the subject at his earliest opportunity."
Samples of Floating Variety Sent to Engineers' Testiing Lab. From Kansas City
Samples of the "floating concrete," obtained from one of the defective piers of the West Kansas avenue bridge, in Kansas City, Kansas, have been sent to the University to be tested. The concrete has been analyzed by the cement company that furnished the
ement for the bridge, but C. W. Trickett, attorney for the Wyandotte county commissioners, desired the concrete to be tested by disinterested board and accordingly ordered samples of the defective concrete sent to the University.
"The University will make complete qualitative tests of the concrete and report the results to Mr. Trickett." The faculty of the School of Engineering.
The concrete received here was taken from the bridge that was recently condemned in Kansas City, Kansas. During the recent extremely high flood, the second of the "concrete piers of the bridge" this rendered the bridge unsafe for further use, and a contract will soon be let for a new bridge.
Blackmar Discussed Primary Law Professor F. W.

ACROPOLIS OF KANSAS MT. OREAD'S LATEST
Prof.Leotsakos,Native Greek Compares Ancient and Modern Culture
"Mount Oread is the Acropolis of Kansas," said Prof. J. P. Leatosak of the University of Athens, in his lecture on "Classic Greece," In Snow hall yesterday, "and even as the influence of the culture and learning that make its home on the Acropolis, spread all over Greece and the civilized world, so will the influence and uplifting power of the University of Kansas spread itself throughout the state, and the whole of your great western country."
Professor Leotakos is a "teleop-hitos" or graduate of the University of Athens. His lecture was illustrated by over fifty stereotypic views of the cities, ruins, costumes, and statuaries of his native land in her ancient glory.
Professor Leotaksis speaks English fluently, with just enough accent to give his language a peculiar charm. In speaking of the sports and games of the ancient Greeks he said that the first mention of ballplaying in European Literature was when Ulysses watched Nausicaa and her maidens as they played.
"The Greeks," said Professor Leosakas, "played ball for pastime, as their lives depended on it, as you play it in America."
"The Grecian ladies were not hatted and costumed and coiffured and shoed by despotic Parisians," he continued, "nor did they indulge in poisons. Wheesley and tobacco! They would kill an elephant!"
"Nor did the classic beauties bind themselves with that engine of cords and steel that you call a corse," resumed the lecturer. "Their dress, as is well known, was sufficient yet modest display of the natural beauties and graces of the body."
Professor Leotakos lectures on Modern Greece in Snow hall this afternoon at 4:30.
PROF. HUNTER RETURNS
FROM INSPECTION TOUR
Visits University Entomological Field Survey at Wichita and Parsons - Says Peach Crop is Safe
Professor S. J. Hunter returned Saturday from Wichita, where he had been on a tour of inspection of the State Orchard and Forest Survey Stations in southern Kansas, located under W. E. Emery at Wichita, and at at Parsons under A. J. Spangler. New stations will be established at Dodge City and Larned. Professor Hunter is the director of the Southern Kansas Horticultural University ta on the work of the university field survey and the recent decision of the state supreme court in regard to the state horticultural laws.
"The orchard men at the Wichita meeting were very enthusiastic about the work of the University survey," said Professor Hunter this morning, "and were anxious to hear concerning the extensions that the department will soon establish. They also inform me" continued Professor Hunter with an anticipatory smile, "that the peach crop in southern Kansas was in no way injured by the winter's extraordinary cold."
LOSES 4 MOLARS, BUT WINS GIRL ANYWAY
Professor Hunter stated that while he was in Wichita he met several old K. U. people, all of whom were loud in their praise of the new Daily Kansas.
"Billy," Hero of Thespian Comedy. Is a Former Football Star
SCENE IS ON BOARD A SHIP
Thespian Cast Which Gives First University Drama Has Done Professional Work.
"Billy," a three act comedy depicts the trials of a totaffless football ball hero with his best girl on board an ocean liner in New York to Havana, will be presented by the Thespian Dramatic Club next Monday afternoon and evening at the Bowersock theater. The play is the only strictly student enterprise that has ever been given on the hill.
Clarence Sowers, a student in the School of Law, is directing the comedy and at the same time is handling one of the leading roles. The elever other students in the cast have had former experience before the footlights.
Hero is a Football Star.
The play is a three act farce comedy and takes place aboard ship en route to Havana. Billy Hargrave, the hero, is a former student in the Transylvania College and is taking the trip with his sister Alice for his health. In a recent football game, in which Billy was the star, four of his front teeth had been knocked out and false ones had been inserted in their stead.
Miss Beatrice Sloan, Billy's sweetheart, and her mother are also on board the SS Florida together with Sam Eustace, a young business man. Billy and Sam are rivals for the hand of Beatrice. Billy is extremely sensitive about his false teeth and does not wish to tell Beatrice of them, fearing it will make a difference in her feeling towards him. However, he talks it over with his sister and at her earnest solicitation decides to "fess up."
Loses Teeth—Chances Spoiled
Loses Teeth—Chances Spoiled
In the meantime Sam Eustace to Mrs. Sloan a story of past life, that Mrs. Sloan an attitude toward Billy changes, and tells her daughter not to "have anything more to do with Dillie Hargrave." Billy wants to be fair to Billy however, and, after he proposes, gives him a chance to make a confession about "four of them" which she understands to be girls, but, in reality, are teeth. Just then, the steward of the ship rushes in, runs into Billy and knocks their teeth out. Billy cannot talk without his teeth so his explanation stops at this point. Beatric thinks it is a confession of guilt, and refuses to have anything more to do with him.
Sister Helps Find Teeth
The remainder of the play hinges on the plot of Billy to obtain other teeth through the aid of his sister and the wooping of Beatrice by Sam Eustace.
Billy, only being able to lisp, refuses to talk in the presence of Beatrice. In the meantime, two Irish sailors have found Billy's teeth in a coil of rope and are keeping them for a reward. Billy's efforts to find other teeth are fruitless, but in the last act while hunting on deck for his own teeth he finds Mrs. Sloan's false teeth in a glass of water. He takes these but cannot use them. Mrs. Sloan is all most prostrated at her loss and gets Beatrice to enlist the services of Sam and the captain in finding them. The play closes with the auction of Billy's teeth for the benefit of the Sailor's Home. Sam believing they are Mrs. Sloan's raises Billy's bid up to a thousand dollars when Billy obtains them. Alice then returns Mrs. Sloan's teeth and Billy receives his own. Beatrice believing that Billy has bought her mother's teeth apologizes to Billy, accepts his proposal and—Sam Eustace remains a bachelor.

POOR RICHARD SAYS.
LIMBER UP!
Why not limber up old arm and get out and join the baseball artist who are working out their rusty joints and stiff muscles this week?
Coach Sherwin issued his cell for battery practice the first of the week and only eight men have reported. Surely there are more nor than this in school who have ambitions to be the premier singers and receivers for dear old Alma Mater.
Come on boys let's get some pep in this practice and have a big squad out to show our eastern coach that Kansas has a great number of men who are interested in a variety of athletics.
Coach Sherwin is working with eight men now. Next week there ought to be a score of men out for practice.
If there is any one the students; would rather see as assistant to Coach Sherwin than Arthur St. Leger Mosse, we don't know who it is. Years ago he won his way into the hearts of every follower of University football and his return to a coaching position will be hailed with delight.
THE AHRENS MATTER
The University Board of Regents seem determined to make the most out of the Ahrens affair and their open letter to the Mens' Student Council makes it apparent that they consider the matter worthy of more consideration. They even go so far as to threaten the life of football at the University, and state in no uncertain terms that it is up to the student body, through its council, to "do something."
In their letter they intimate that a score or more of men knew of the irregularity, and they should be held to some account for their failure to report the matter. They insist that the Mens' Student Council has been granted complete disciplinary powers and that the students who withheld their knowledge of the Ahrens' violation should receive some public censure, which shall be taken as a precedent of the Council that it looks with disfavor upon such actions.
They interpret the answer of the Council that the Ahrens affair should be settled by the eligibility committee, as dodging the question. They admit that the eligibility committee was lax and did not perform its duty, but the withholding of the information relative to Ahren's absence from school, was a matter of discipline which obviously should be settled by the Student Council.
As far as the facts of the case go, the Regents are correct. The Student Council states that it is now conducting an investigation and that a report will be made later. They admit that it was morally wrong for the men not to divulge the information, but they insist that it is practically impossible to place
the blame on any one man or group of men. Their point is that as long as it is impossible to fix any blame on certain individuals and as long as no material good can come from a detailed investigation and consequent report, a protest from them is unnecessary.
The whole question is, what good will further action do and what good has the demand of the Regents done?
Henry Ahrens violated the eligiblity rules; he knew it and perhaps a few others did also. His eligibility is a matter that comes under faculty supervision. Ahrens cannot be punished for he is out of school. And every one believes that the Regents did not mean it when they threatened to take away football from the University. The schools of the Missouri Valley have accepted the apology of the University of Kansas in the spirit in which it was given and surely they will never impute to Kansas a desire to be unfair in matters of eligibility.
We cannot see why the unpleas antness was brought up again. Why not let it drop as it is? Let the Student Council go on record as being opposed to such irregularities Surely the Regents do not think that the violation of the eligibility rules met with popular student approval
By the way, what has become of that committee appointed to investigate and report on the mill tax? Everybody seemed to be in favor of the measure; but it would seem to be well to begin educating the public as to its merits.
THE DO, RE, MI BOYS
Talking about glee clubs, why not invite the Missouri or the Nebraska clubs to the University and allow them to give a joint concert with our own singers? Such a meeting could be arranged easily.
Why not invite the Missouri gleemen here early in the spring? A most favorable time for such concerts would be on the night preceding some athletic contest between the two schools.
In the eastern schools these joint concerts are a regular feature and draw immense crowds. Such a concert here would be a benefit financially to the clubs and would give the public a chance to compare the respective organizations.
And by the way, why shouldn't the glee club be put under the same management as athletics? Such a condition exists at Yale, Harvard Cornell, and other schools. This proposition will bear investigation.
$3 AND COSTS!
AN EDITORIAL BY MR. AESOP
If the recent football irregularity hasn't been sufficiently ventilated it is not because the Regents haven't given it Abrens enough.
Syracuse Orange.
A campus beautiful for Syracuse University is now assured. The campus has been in a very bad condition for some years, due to the fact that so much construction and work in the building line has been going on. The city of Syracuse, however, has appropriated one hundred thousand and dollars to alter the appearance, and the work of improvement has already been started. The entire campus will be graded, quadrangles, cement walks and roadways laid out and trees planted. The Holden Observatory will be moved from its present position to the top of Mount Olympus and a winding roadway will be built leading up to it. This world will require some time but when it is finished the campus will present a much more inviting appearance.
THERE was once a Bald Man who sat down after work on a hot summer's day. A Fly came up and kept buzzing about his bald pate, and stinging him from time to time. The Man aimed a blow at his little enemy, but—whack his palm came on his head instead; again the Fly tormented him, but this time the Man was wiser and said:
You will only injure yourself if you take notice of despicable enemies.

STAY WITH IT
Our greatest glory is not in never failure but in rising every time we fail. Goal!
Success in most things depends on being like how long it takes to succeed. Better now.
Persuenceance is failing nineteen times and succeeding the twentieth.
Bunyan wrote his "Filgrim's Progress" on the untwisted papers used to cork the bottles of milk brought for his meals. Gifford wrote his first copy of a mathematical work, when a cobbler's apprentice, on small scraps of leather; and Rittenhouse, the astronomer, first calculated eclipses on his plow handle.
Always watch with great interest a young man's first failure. It is the index of his life, the measure of his success power. The mere fact of his failure has interest; but how did he take his defeat? What did he do next? Was he discouraged? Did he slink out of sight? Did he conclude that he had made a mistake in his calling, and dabble in something else? Or was he up and at it again with a determination that he knows no defeat? Raleigh failed, but he left a name ever to be linked with brave effort and noble character. Kossuth did not succeed, but his lofty career, his burning words, and his ideal fidelity will move men for good as long as time shall last. O'Connell did not wri his cause, but he did achieve enduring fame as an orator, patriot, and apostle of liberty.
"Circumstances," say Milton, "have rarely favored men. They have fought their way to triumph through all sort of opposing obstacles. The greatest thing a man can do in this world is to make the most possible out of the stuff that has been given to him as it is success, and there is no other."
Paris was in the hands of a mob; the authorities were panic-stricken, for they did not dare to trust their underlings. In came a man who said, "I know a young officer who has the courage and ability to quell this男男." "Send for him; send for him," they said. Napoleon was sent for, came, subjugated the mob, subjugated the authorities, ruled France, then conquered Europe.
One of the first lessons of life is to learn how to get victory out of defeat. It takes courage and stamina, when mortified and embarrassed by humiliation disaster, to seek in the wreck or ruins the elements of future suffering that measures the difference between those who fail. You cannot measure a man by his failures. You must know what use he makes of them.

his suit against an unbelieving and ridiculing world. Rebuffed by kings, scorned by queens, he did not swerve a hair's breadth from the evermastering purpose which dominated his soul. The words "New World" were graven upon his heart; and reputation, ease, pleasure, position, life itself, if need be, must be sacrificed. Neither threats, ridicule, storms, leaky vessels, nor mutiny of sailors, could shake his mighty purpose.
HARVARD GRADUATION
The long discussed changes in the commencement week at Harvard have been finally decided upon now that the dates for baseball games and for the races between Yale and Harvard have been definitely announced. Commencement week this year will open on Sunday, June 16, when the class of 1887 will hold service in the college chapel and the baccalaureate sermon is scheduled for the afternoon of the same day. Monday will be Phi Beta Kappa day and the usual oration and poem will be given in Sanders Theater. Class day comes on Tuesday, and in the afternoon of that day Harvard plays its first baseball game with Yale at New Haven. Wednesday will be given over to class reunions and dinners, and Yale meets Harvard at Soldier's Field in the second baseball game. Commencement will take place on Thursday, the annual regatta with Yale will be rowed at New London on Friday, and on the following day the third contest with Yale will be played in New York, if one is necessary. —New York World.

OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
ANNABEL LEE
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden lived, whom you may know
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love, and be loved by me.
But we loved with a love that was more than love,
I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
With a love that the winged serapha
of heaven
And this was the reason that long ago in this kingdom by the sea,
So that her high-born kinsmen came;
And bore her away from me.
The angels, not so happy in heaven,
Went enviving her and me.
To shut her up in a sepulchre,
In this kingdom by the sea.
Yes! that was the reason (as all men know)
In this kingdom by the sea.
In this kingdom by the sea
that there is a place to the cloud
by night,
for the sun to shine upon it.
But our love it was stronger by far than the love
by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee
Of those who were older than we,
of many far wiser than we;
Of many a wiser than we
And neither the angels in heaven above
Of many tar wiser than we;
And neither the angels in heavest, show
nor the angels in heaven above
Nor the demons down under the sea
Can ever dissever my soul from the
soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.
bring the dreams Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.
For the moon never beams without bring me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
And so, all the night-tide I lie down by the side
Of my daring, my daring, my life,
and my bride.
In her sequestre there by the sea.
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

Young Women's Athletic Association Has Forty-four Charter Members.
MEMBERS PAY 50 CENTS FEE
Red And Blue Teams Play Basketball, Baseball, Soccer, Handball, Volley-ball and Tennis
With a charter membership of forty-four, the Young Women's Athletic Association of the University of Kansas was organized yesterday. The meeting was called to order by Nell Martindale. Short talks were made by young women who had been in similar associations in other schools, Amarynthia Smith in Louisville, Kentucky, and Lucy Barger at Washburn.
The following officers were elected: President, Amarynthia Smith; vice-president, Catherine Stubbs; secretary and Treasurer, Mary Reding; manager, Nell Martindale. Miss Rose Abbot will assist in coaching.
A committee of three was appointed to draw up a constitution. The members are Bernice Schultz, Emma A. Kohman and Amanda Neuschwinger.
Realizing that competition is the life of an athletic association, the co-eds have formed two teams, the Red and the Blue. Bernice Schultz was chosen captain of the Red team and Frederika Hodder of the Blue. The captains, with the aid of the instructors, will select those who are to take part in the different contests basket-ball, baseball, soccer, handball, volley球, tennis, swimming and track. Letters will be given as a reward for playing a certain number of scheduled games.
The two captains, Miss Schultz and Miss Hodder, will choose the members for the Red and the Blue team today and a membership campaign will be instituted at once. The membership fee of fifty cents admits members to all the contests. Other co-eds of the University will be charred an admittance fee.

BUTTONS FROM MILK WITHOUT A STRAIN
Sure. Chemists Can Do It and Lots of Other Wonderful Things.
"The chemist shows how the whey from cheese manufacture may be used to make milk sugar; how casein may be made into buttons or dried and used in the arts; how cottonseed may be made into oil; how peanut oil may take the place of lard; how the waste of the barnyard may be used; and in fact there is practically nothing that the chemist does not utilize in some way." was the statement made by Professor E. H. S. Bailey on his return from the recent Conservation Congress held in Kansas City.
"On every side the field is open for the chemist," continued Dr. Bailey, when asked to tell of some of the ways that a chemist is interested in the conservation movement. "In the preservation of the life and health of the children of the country, the chemist is very active. He analyses the food, the water and the air of the schoolroom."
Professor Bailey is of the opinion that the water supplies should be more thoroughly understood. "The quality of the water and the conditions for maintaining its purity must be known. Waste and sewage allowed to enter the streams must be purified and water-softening plants established."

"Sixty per cent of the tree is often wasted in our forests," went on Dr. Bailey. "This could be used in the manufacture of charcoal, acetic acid, wood alcohol, tar, resin oil, acetone, gas, and turpentine. Sawdust can be used as fuel or for the manufacture of chemicals. The use of Portland cement has greatly decreased the demand for the wood and there again the chemist tests the limestone and shale and tells where cement can be made at a profit."

MISSOURI MEETS KANSAS TONIGHT
Dope Gives Jayhawkers the Advantage in Basket Ball Battle.
The Warrensburg State Normal five defeated the University of Missouri basket tossers last night at Warrensburg by a score of 30 to 26. The game was fast and both teams played hard, but the Normals were too much for the Tiger five. This defeat swings the heavy side of the dope sheet for the game in Robinson gymnasium tonight and tomorrow night toward the Kansas side.
The Kansas team weathered the flunk season in good shape and will be in full strength tonight. The recent defeats of the Tigers show that they are not far in the running for the Valley championship, but Hamilton's from them in order to meet the Washington University team on equal terms.
The game tonight is the first that will be reckoned in the championship. Missouri, Washington and Kansas will settle the championship of the southern division of the conference. The winner in these games will then meet Nebraska, who has securely established her position as leader of the northern schools, by defeating both Ames and Drake.
The line-up tonight will be:

NEBRASKA LOSES STAR
Jimmy Gibson, Basket Ball [Forward, Quits the Cornhuskers
Jimmy Gibson, crack basket-ball forward, and some star in the gridiron game as well, has quit the Cornusker school for the remainder of the year. His departure puts the Nebraska five in a hole as he was the most dependable man on the squad. He has scored 102 points for Nebraska this year.
Coach Steich is at a loss as to how to fill the position made by Gibson's leaving. It is probable that the whole team will be shifted and a new set of plays worked out, at the big forward was the center piece of many of the Cornhusher settings
In the Kansas-Nebraska games here, Gibson's playing was by far the feature of the Nebraska five's work He appeared absolutely at home in the game and never fussed. His style of play was much different from that of the rest of the Nebraska squad, being almost entirely free from fouling.
NOTICE TO CHECK IN .
SUITS RECENTLY GIVEN
Order to Return Football Duds Not Issued Before This Week— Hamilton in Bad.
Manager W. O. Hamilton has been put in fear of great bodily harm.
Numerous husky gridiron gladiators have approached him with threatening look and demanded the why of the story concerning the football suits printed in the Daily Kansan last night.
It seems that the men who are thus wrathful, have attempted to turn their suits in at divers times and have been prevented from doing so by the fact that the store house on McCook has been closed on account of the severe winter winds that swept across the gridiron.
This being the state of affairs, and known to the manager, no call to check in the goods in the possession of the football men was issued till this week.
Why Not at K. U.
At Oklahoma University men are not allowed to occupy the entire center of the stage in athletics. The girls have a varsity basket ball team that has a well filled schedule with other Oklahoma College teams. The University girls have won all the games played thus far and are in a good position to claim the state championship.

INDOOR TRACK MEET
POSTPONED A WEEK
Methodists Will Come Feb.
19 Instead of Lincoln's
Birthday.
The opening of the Kansas track ream has been postponed for a week.
The Methodist athletes who were scheduled to compete with Hamilton's track squaw in the gym Lincoln's birthday, will come Feb. 19 instead.
The extra time that will thus be given the K. U. men will be a blessing to both the workers and the coach as the men who have been working on some of the events are inexperienced. Much will be gained by the added week of work before they first enter real competition.
The tryouts this week have been pleasing in some events, and very distant.
La Grange, Ill.
The two mile, and the half were made in time that brought joy to the coach's heart. Murray won the long race in 10.21. This establishes a record for the gym track. A new record was also made in the half mile, Fairchild traveling the route in 2.13. Both of these records are exceptional as the indoor track at the gymnasium is eleven laps to the mile.
In the high jumps Captain French surpassed all previous efforts, for this season of the year, with a leap of 5 feet 11 inches. Hazen who will probably be second man in this event this year went over the bar ar 5.8.

The management of the high school athletic association adopted this means of raising money for the purchase of new gymnasium apparatus.
The novelty of the occasion appealed to the girls as well as the boys and practically all the girls of the high school volunteered to sell tags. Misses Viola Stephan and Marie Kimpler, members of the junior class, have the honor of selling the greatest number of tags. They disposed of $16.55 worth of the red and blue emblems upon which were printed the words, "Be a Good Fellow and Boost Our Schools."

GLEE CLUB CONCERTS AS SOCIAL FUNCTIONS

SOCIETY WOMEN PATRONESSES
Program for Wednesday and Thursday Includes Solo and Quartet Numbers and Popular Songs.
The University Glee club will give its annual concerts on Wednesday and Thursday evenings February 14 and 15. The first concert will be given in Fraser hall and the second will be given in the Bowersock theater.
Program
Plans have been laid to make the Glee club concerts primarily University social functions, and, to that end, the club has asked several prominent society women of Lawrence to act as patronesses of the entertainments. This plan is used largely in the east, both for the contest at home and out at A.C. Club societies, the annual Glee club entertainments regarded as social functions second only to the Junior Prom. This is its first try-out at Kansas.
The card programs used formerly will be replaced by booklets containing the names of the patronesses of the club, the personnel of the club, program, and the itinerary of the trip to the Pacific coast that the club will make soon.
Part I.

Fifteen Days' Encampment on Pole Mountain, Wyoming in August.
10,000 TROOPS IN MANOUVERS
Kansans Will Engage in Sham Battles With Infantry, Artillery, Cavalry and Machine Guns.
Pole mountain of the Rocky Mountain range forty miles west of Cheyenne, Wyoming, has been selected for the annual summer camp of the University company of the Kansas National Guards. The members of the company will go into camp in August and fifteen days will be spent in the mountains.
Many of the men are interested in the trip this year, "said Captain Horace Steele, his team to expect to take more than last summer, when we learn weeks in encampment at Fort Riley.
"The drills will be more interesting than last summer; they will consist mainly of sham battles with infantry, artillery, cavalry, machine guns, and every branch of the service. Ten thousand troops will take part in the maneuvers in Wyoming and the University company will attend in full force, if it is possible to complete the enrollment.
"Pole mountain has an elevation of 8,200 feet above the sea level; the days are cool and comfortable and in the evening, the weather is rather chilly. However, each shelter tent will be provided with a conical stove. I think the State may furnish the troops with olive drab uniforms which are warmer than the khaki that the men have at present."
All students who are interested in enlistment should see Captain Steele or Lieutenant Fairechle. The company will camp for a week in June on the shooting range south of Lawrence immediately after the spring semester closes. This is a shoot camp and is entirely devoted to range work.
FINE ARTS WILL DO CLAY MODELING
Complete Clay Working Laboratory Permits Pottery Class to Work.
Young women in the pottery class of the School of Fine Arts will do actual work in clay modeling this semester. This is made possible by the completion of the new clay working laboratory of the Geology department. The clay for use by the Fine Arts students, must be washed and filtered. Last year, this work was done in Fowler Shops, but it was ound impracticable to continue the work last fall.
The young women could not be expected to wash and prepare their own clay, so it has devolved upon the new clay testing department to supply them with the proper grade of clay. The clay washing machine will soon be installed in the laboratory, and the girls will have an abundant supply of clay in the future.
The increased facilities for clay washing will enable the pottery class to have their own work on display at the next art exhibit.

LINCOLN'S GETTYSBURG ADDRESS
Fourecore and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation—or any nation so conceived and so dedicated—can long endure.
We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We are met to dedicate a portion of that field as the final resting place of those who here gave their lives that nation is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our power to add or detract. The world will little note not long remember, what we say here; but it can never forget what they did here.
It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here, to the unfinished work that they have thus far so nobly carried on. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us; that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation shall, under God, have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the people' e, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

POOR RICHARD SAYS:
God gives all things, to industry;
then plough deep while skuggars sleep,
and you will have corn to sell
and to keep.
LINCOLN
Abraham Lincoln needs no eulogy; the honor that an entire nation is paying to him today, shows that his memory will never die, that his life and his deeds will ever live in the affections of his people. Since his death each successive generation has paid homage to the man who was the martyr of freedom, and all the reverence that can be shown the dead has been given to him.
The anniversary of Lincoln's birth should bring a message to us today. While we eulogize, we should seek also, to draw a lesson from his life. And to thd college man this uncouth, untutored man presents an interesting study.
Lincoln was deprived of the schooling that even the poorest child of today receives. What he learned was by observation in God's out-of-doors and in diligent application whenever the opportunity for study presented itself.
He was in no way a college man; he knew nothing of those problems that the university man of today learns. But he seemed to be able to grasp them all by intuition. We see in his life something of the struggle for an education that many of our less fortunate people of today are having. Abraham Lincoln is one of the vast host of men who have always looked at the stars and have struggled for the light.
We who are the favored of the generation should gain from a reflection on Lincoln's life, a keen sympathy for our fellow men. We should recognize that in the rough, untrained, and uneducated man there is the stuff that goes to make our leaders and our rulers.
There is no pride that is more worthy than a town's pride in its schools. The Neodesha Register of this week gives a fine front-page illustration of the new $60,000 high school building just dedicated in that town.
THE POSTER NUISANCE
If several of our ambitious studies persist in bedecking the telegraph and telephone poles of our fair city with posters and announcements, they will soon find themselves in the toils of the law, from which toil escapes, without some embarrassment and a slight outlay of cash, will be impossible. This comes direct from headquarters, too.
Last year the city authorities woke up one bright morning and in mighty dudgeon invaded Mt. Oread and came within an ace of arresting a number of our most exemplary students. The cause for this disturbance of the official equilibrium was the same as is now agitating those invested with the police power—that of an unlawful posting of signs and advertisements upon the various telegraph and telephone poles of the city. Nothing came from the agitation except a good scare for the offenders, but the city authorities assure us that they are in earnest now and that the next transgressors will receive summary punishment.
The city authorities are supported in this matter by a great majority of
the student body. No one believes that the flaming placards that assail us at every step up Adams and Lee street, are any more than the mere outlet of the enthusiasm that certain people have to gracefully extract from long suffering students a great part of their patrimony.
The University of Kansas, its campus, and its adjacent streets and buildings form a little city. In every city of any size public announcements are regulated by law. Such laws exist in Lawrence, and they ought to be obeyed.
We hope that the city authorities will make their threat this time more than a bluff. Future offenders ought to be punished.
No doubt the pictures of the debaters that are to be hung in the rooms of the debating society will be speaking likenesses, but it seemed hardly fair to one of our readers that only those will appear in any photo who were on the negative.
DON'T KNOW NOTHIN'
Registrar Foster' s announcement that several students had better brush up a little on their English or they will lose credit in Freshman rhetoric, will probably cause more real anxiety among the student body than one would suppose. It is a lamentable fact that a great majority of students are poor spellers, and more, that they seem to have a vague and indefinite idea of the correct way in which the English language should be put together.
For several years University professors have attempted to discover some way in which this defect could be remedied, and only last year they conceived the idea of "recalling" a man to his Freshman rhetoric course, if at any time during his college course, he showed signs of forgetting the fundamentals of our language.
This "recall" is bound to work a hardship on some students. Some of them may be able to solve the most difficult problem in Calculus, or to penetrate the innermost sanctuums of profoundest philosophy, but when it comes to a simple knowledge of the English language, they are found to be deficient.
Why does such a condition exist? Will we find the answer in our grade school system? We do not propose to disuse matters pertaining to these lower schools, but the undeniable fact remains that an amazing percent of our University students are not adequately trained in spelling and grammar when they enter college.
The activity of the city attorney against the bill posters suggests to the major student something new in the diplomacy of Europe: Russian to save the Poles from tax.
TIME-WASTERS GONE
A large number of students who wasted a good deal of time throughout the past semester are not with us now. They did not come up to the best of scholarship required by the faculty and failed to qualify as worthy of membership in the under-graduate body. In some cases, real chagrin is felt; in others, there is a bit of bravado; but it is safe to say that in no case was there a failure due to causes not in control of the student.
The method of procedure here in regard to the student's attitude toward his work is designed to promote initiative and personal effort. A student is helped whenever he asks for it but if he becomes indifferent one is going to prod him along. He exercises his own will in the matter and must abide by the consequences, and he must be prepared for the student who is industrious and alert. The curriculum is arranged for normal persons, not for the brilliant students or for the grind. All that is necessary to succeed here is a fair amount of intelligent industry judiciously applied.—Daily Iowa.
AN EDITORIAL BY MR. AESOP
A FOX had by by some means got into the store-room of a theater. Suddenly he observed a face glaring at him, and he varied frightened; but looking more closely he found it was only a Mask, such as actors use to put over their face. "Ah," said the Fox, "you look like a pity you have not got any brains."

The statement of President John Hibben, of Princeton University, that the average Princeton man's value at graduation is about $6 a week, does not apply to the average Harvard graduate, who, statistics show, receives $15 a week in his first position.
An official of the Harvard appointment office, where one-third of the graduates register when they take up their chosen vocations, said today:
"The report for 1911 has yet to be issued, but in the case of permanent positions filled by the Harvard Alumni Association, the average wage per week is a trifle over $15. There are many instances where men receive $20 and more." —Washington Post.

WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN BUYING JAM?
It's a Professional Secret,But the Food Analyist Can Tell All

T
Professor Jackson, Food Chemist Tests all Jams Except "The Kind Mother Used to Make."
The Food Analysis department under supervision of Prof. H. Louis Jackson is trying out all kinds of kis. No, not all kinds, for that famous brand "the kind that mother used to make" is noticeably lacking.
When you go down to the corner grocery to buy a jar of jam or jelly and you are dubious as to the brand you wish to buy, you look along the shelf and your eye is greeted by attractive labels which tell the contents faithfully. That is, the labels have a beautiful red background from which the words "Apple and Sugar Butter," stand out in bold white letters. Then ugly black letters that are not at all attractive, much less visible, announce that the "butter" is composed of 65% corn syrup.
What is Glucose?
Corn syrup is glucose by special permission to the large manufacturers of preserves and the like.
Another label that tells the truth and seems to be ashamed of *Lis* on a small round jar, and its contents are"red cherry jam." At the top of the jar, where the neck is small, a label is wrapped in such a manner that "red cherry" is directly above a label on the body of the jar which says "Fresh Fruit Jam." in extra large and gaudy font. Around the neck are the words,"with 10% apple juice" which are supposed to be read in conjunction with "red cherry," and although these words no doubt tell the truth, they are very febble about it on account of the smallness of the letters.
No Difference Between Brands.
"The greater part of the jellies which have brands such as apple raspberry, apple plum, are more than half glucose, and it is impossible to tell the difference between them, if you do not see the label," said Prof. H. L. Jackson of the Food Analysis department. "Of eleven different brands, a person who was asked to name them, called nine apple plum. The other two tasted to him like soured apple pulp snail, but the label called for apple butter in a loud tone and in milder accentus for 57% glucose."
According to Professor Jackson, most

people do not read the labels carefully and do not know what they really are buying. He believes that if people would read carefully and demand less adulterated goods, the manufacture "products" would be stimulated greatly.
Many of the fancy-labeled brands are useful, however, even when off the table. The dye used in some of them will color cloth a beautiful pink, and, in a pure state, looks not unlike common carmine coloring.

THEY SHOWED 'EM HOW
Thirty Co-eds Entertained Thirty College Swains With a Leap Year Party.
Commencing with the arrival of the flowers at six o'clock continuing with the arrival of the girls in cabs and never ceasing until the last cab had rolled away from the door at midnight the evening was one continuous round of joy and happiness, and the boys admit it.
Thirty converts to the doctrine of Leap-yearism entertained thirty perfectly meek and docile young men last Saturday evening at Ecke's Hall. For several weeks it has been rumored that these University girls were plantation girls, and they ended up later after which college swains in the future might 'pattern'.
Those who entertained areLoleTu McCune, Phyllis Burrough, Bernice Ruhland, Frances Banker, Bernice Fairchilds, Beulah Murphy, Leslie Smith, Mae Rossman, Mal Ann, Bess Bozzel, Evan Beatthold, Margaret Killarney, Trine Latta, Stella Case, Florence Derwood, Fern Mellon, Kirk, Clik, Yvonne Blair, Blair, Leona Caleene, Elise Potwin, Treamd Wayray, Mary Gurnea, Opal Hughes, Florence Wallace, Maribell McGill, Inra Pratt, Emily Swick and Lucile Yates.
Dancing was begun at 8:15 o'clock (note the element of reform) and then until the darkest hour of midnight, the dreamy wait—but why should we say more? During the intermission the maidens set another precedent by escorting the hungry male contingent to nearby cafes.
Some of the girls were not quite certain whether it was proper or not to call for their "man" but after a secret council it was教诫 that they should

Extension Department Plans to Supply Libraries for Kansas Towns and Schools
The extension division of the University is advocating a plan for a town and school library. Its purpose for presenting the plan is to lead the students and townpeople to a higher type of citizenship and to the formation of an active, alert civic spirit and public opinion.
The plan is strengthened by the fact that from the Extension Division may be secured package libraries, consisting of clippings, pamphlets and books on the important questions and problems before the public. These libraries may be kept for a period of two weeks at no expense excepting the cost of transportation. Also a traveling library of fifty volumes may be secured for the purpose of being distributed to James E. King, Topeka. These traveling libraries may be kept six months likewise for the cost of transportation charges.
The place for school and town libraries, the plan suggests should be in the assembly or study hall of the high school or any other available room, and that it should be open to the town schools two hours a week. The Extension Division of the University offers any information desired concerning the plan.

TWISTED TIGERS'
TAIL TWO TIMES
Kansas Basket Ball Fiv Wins Both Games From Missouri
CONTESTS NOT INTERESTING.
Score of First Contest was 27 to 16
The Second Battle Ended
23 to 31
31 to 21.
No very remarkable exhibition of Dr. Naismith's pet pastime was necessary on the part of the local goat tossers to take two games from the Missouri Tigers. The men from Columbia played a weak game and were never dangerous to Hamilton's proteges in either contest. If the Tiger had showed his teeth, in either game the result of the battle might have been different, for Kansas men were playing far below the form displayed in previous performances; but the jungle cat did not even growl.
Both games were slow and uninteresting from the spectator's standpoint. The only real excitement grew out of some of Kansas dribbles. All the joy that was thus created in the rooter's heart would fade as soon as the Kansan dribble would take his shot for goal, for there was very little doing in the shooting line.
Friday Night's Game
The Kansas five had little difficulty in defeating Missouri, in the Jayhawkers' first championship game. Playing a rather slow and a hardly brilliant game the Kansas men took their Honorable Opponents to a 27 to 16 cleaning. The Missouri men fought hard, but they were clearly out-classed by the local representatives. Captain Parker of the Tiger five worked well for his team and his disqualification early in the second half was a loss to his squad.
Kansas showed superiority in handling the ball. Their passes were more accurate and their dribbling more successful than any floor work the Tigers could produce

five excelled the Tigers in every department of the game. Both teams played better basket-ball than in the first contest, the invaders especially showing much better form than before.
In the first half the Tigers were strong in holding the Kansans to a 13 to 10 score. The home team played a listless game in this half.
During the intermission between the first and second chapter something happened. It has been rumored that W. O. Hamilton made one of the truly great speeches of his career. At any rate when the Kansas men came back to the floor they displayed more life than at any other time during the two contests the team lost, in a shooting soon put the Jayhawks in a safe place to lead the Tigers to the wire.
Snoodgrass again starred for the Missourians and Stuckey played the best game for his team.

MURPHY THE COACH
Famous Trainer Will Tutor the American Olympic
Athletes
One of the first steps taken by American Olympic games committee was to secure the services of Mike Murphy as coach and trainer of the American team.
Murphy is without doubt the foremost trainer of athletics in the United States today. He began his work as a coach and trainer more than 20 years ago. From there he went to Yale and later to Pennsylvania.
Murphy is not only an expert in looking after the physical condition of his men but also noted for his ability to keep the men in the right spirit to win meets. The trip that he will make to Stockholm with the American Olympic team is the fourth of the kind he has seen at the Olympics, and not one of these trips has there the slightest ill feeling among the men who composed the team.
The duties that the veteran trainer will have to perform do not actually begin until the men are on board ship. Until that time he will act as an advisor to the committee who are choosing the men. Then the men asked to give advice to the men in the matter of training prior to the time they begin their journey.
As a result of a severe cold contracted during the football season, Murphy has been seriously ill this winter and there was a time when much anxiety was manifested as to whether he would be able to fill his place as the American leader at Stockholm. He has now recovered so far from his illness that he expects to resume his duties at an early date.
Oxford and Cambridge athletes are willing, if matters can be arranged, to give Harvard and Yale a return match in America.
English Athletes Willing to Meet Yale and Harvard in This Country
Last year a team representing these American Universities visited England and were defeated 5 to 4 by the English athletes.
OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE
TO GIVE RETURN MATCH
The English athletes owed their victory to George E. Putnam, now assistant professor of Economics in the University of Kansas. In the final event, Putnam, then a Rhodes ten feet farther than Childs of Yale and won the victory for England over his compatriots.

"GREATEST FOOTBALL CHANGES SINCE 1906"
"Unlimited Pass Will Not Offset 4 Down Rule" says Kennedy.
BACK TO THE POUNDING GAME
Scores Will be Larger But One Team Will Do All the Scoring
of the Game
"Football will be a different game than it has been in the past six years," said Bert Kennedy, to a Daily Kansas reporter this morning. "It is my opinion that the heavy teams will go back to the old pounding game and that the unrestricted forward pass used by their lighter opponents will not be sufficient to offset this form of offense.
"The change of football rules made this year is the greatest since in 1906. What the effect will be is hard to say definitely. One thing is clear, the offense has been strengthened and the defense has been reduced to aminimum."
The former Kansas coach would not say what he thought the effect of the new style of play would be on the Valley teams but thought that the schools that have higher teams would be a greatly increased advantage over the smaller ones.
"One thing is certain," said Kennedy "that the coach who is the quickest to find the advantages in the new style of play will be the man who will turn out the winning team. The man who does the quickest thinking and the man who develops the possibilities from the best players down rule will bring the championship to his team if he has any kind of a team at all."
The greatest danger that the ex-coach saw in the new game was in the fact that the whole game lay in the possession of the ball.
"There will be another disadvantage growing out of the unrestricted pass, when coupled with the four down rule. That will lie in the fact that the second line of defense will have to be pushed back to defend against the pass. The last line is plain on its face. The line men will have to take all the pounding.
"As a final word, I believe that the rules committee was correct when they said that there would be more scoring and more big scores, but I believe that the scoring will be done almost entirely by one side."

"BILLY" WEIGHED AND NOT FOUND WANTING
Thespians' Playgoers Laugh at Play, and at Some of the Players
MISS CULP AND SOWERS STAR
NUMBER 18.
University Audience Received the Tenth Production of Thespians as Professional Engagement
By Grouchy Gilihan
Though one be not a hen; and having therefore but little inside information concerning the egg industry, yet when one encounters an egg that has lost its amateur standing, one is quick to detect the ineligibility. In a like manner, when this metaphorical egg is perfectly good and fresh yet is broken in the turning, one need not be a chef to observe its culinary imperfection. Indeed, the chef is sometimes loath to observe it.
All of which means that a person who has never written a play, is about to say, here and now, that the Thespians staged a crackerjack when they produced "Billy" last night. More than that, it was a joddy. One might even say that it was a hudinger.
Audience Was Good Humored
The audience laughed at the jokes, they applauded the dilemmas of the villain, meek and harmless as he was. They cheered, when the hero gnawed his way into the heroine's good graces, with the assistance of his recovered incisors. In short they were satisfied. They went away with mirth in their hearts and praise of the Thespians on their lips.
But—
New Scheme Practiced.
There are several things amateurs must learn before they can hope to evade Criticism, which like its brother felony, Homicide, will out.
When the curtain goes up, an actor's self-confidence also appears to rise out of his reach. So, last night, was tried the cunning expedient of having several actors appear first without speaking parts. This was expected to discourage the Demon Stage Fright—but the fell monster was on the job, and—strong women trembled; their voices became as those of children.
Later though, as the audience proved more and more delightfully appreciative, the bearing of the careful mother, 'Mrs. Sloane' and her daughter, Beatrice (Miss Maurine Fairweather) became more animated and at ease. Once, however Miss Fairweather forgot her instructions and began to read her lines before the applause had ceased. But no carping whisper may be breathed against the personal appearance of Beatrice! Beatrice was the lovely and captivating charmer par excellence.
Interpretation Commendable
Miss Hazel Clark, as 'Mrs Soane,' was positively too good looking to be wearing false teeth Her rendition of the part, however
would have been better had she continued throughout the play the "society draw" she affected in her opening scene.
Easily the "leading lady" of the production was Miss Lucy Culp as 'Alice', the teasing sister of 'Billy Hargrave'. Her reading was clear, and her acting was spontaneous and unaffected her bearing was natural.
And fittingly her brother "star," was Claude Sowers, in the title role. He was slightly exuberant at times, and exaggerating brotherly rage—but that might be excused by the character of the play. As a whole the work of Mr. Sowers was excellent, and the appearance of him and Miss Culp on the stage together was the signal for applausion.
No less meritorious was Clarence Sowers' interpretation of 'Sam Eustace', the clarified, disinfected and purified villain. Though the villain 'Sam' is a milk-toastish sort of creature, yet the part was nicely played, and, except for the seasickness scene, the like of which never was, on all the seven seas, its rendition deserves credit.
George Staton as the elder Hargrave was a little bombastic in his first scenes, but his really vigorous delivery served a good purpose. It "woke up" some of the other characters. Russel Clark as the steward, and George Edwards, as the doctor, acted their parts well, and one wishes their parts had given them a better opportunity to "star." Miss Virginia Elward made a very acceptable stewardess, but one could never quite tell whether her dialect
Ward Maris as the Boatswain, and was German, French or Swedish. Robert Thomas as the lucky sailor, Thomas of comic stunts. Their lives saved them.
As a whole, the production was excellent. It shows what can be done when a cast of extraordinarily well-fitted amateurs undertake to present a play of real merit.
One is tempted to save the program in order to check off and patronize, as is admonished, the merchants who advertised in it. Here's luck to the Thespians next year!

Faculty Ladies Tea.
He was a seeker of information,
just as all good students at the University
are supposed to be. He was a
wonderful engineer. He was the basement of the Engineering building.
There are concrete beams in the base-ment of the Engineering building, in fact the concrete testing laboratory is located in that same mysterious place. This student was gasing at them as they were about to begin to talk, or rather ask (remember he was a college student) about concrete.
Opinions differ in the school of Engineering as to just what the student's idea could have been. Some say he must have thought that the University employed a burly negro, whose business it was to saw steel beams into small bits and shovel them in the concrete mixer in proper quantity. Others are equally positive in declaring his idea was, that all users of the "substance" shipped in barrels of iron nails, monkey wrenches, washers, or bolts, scooping in the material at stated intervals along with the sand, cement, and rock.
"What is the formula for mixing this substance?" he ventured, pointing to a huge concrete beam. "One, three, five," answered Prof C. I, Corp. who happened to be standing close by. After this was translated and explained, the student found out that one part cement, three parts sand, and five parts crushed rock, was the mixture which had been used.
The student refuses to be quoted.
"But wait, look here, how much steel did you mix in? Isn't this 'reinforced' concrete. The professor threw up his hands in utter dispair. Slowly and sadly he took the student into the 'lab' and explained fully and in great detail the precise meaning of 'reinforced.'
Advice Received Yesterday from Bert E. Brown Confirms Report.
WOODROW WILSON WILL SPEAK IN GYMNASIUM

PEACH-BASKETS FIRST USED.
Hence Basket Ball—Game Originated Partly by Accident and Partly by Design.
"The game of basket-ball originated partly by the endearor to create a form of athletic exercise along the line of football and partly by accident," said Dr. Naismith at the gymnasium, today.
"It was while I was at the Spring field Training School, in Massachusetts in 1891," he continued, "that we discovered that the men who had played on the football team were not taking any 'interest' in gymnasium exercise after the season had closed. They had been used to quick action and pitting their wits against their opponents and the routine work with the dumbballs. And the coach excitedly skirrose to them. The man who was the leader of the class became discouraged and gave it up and I was invited to take his place.
"I realized that the men wanted some sort of a game that would be not only beneficial but also interesting. In other words the men wanted something they could have some fun in. The only thing that I did was to try to find something of that sort.
Tried Dehorned Football.
"At first we tried a form of 'dehorned' football but that was too rough. Next followed soccer and then laxocase but none met the requirements of our small gymnasium. One day the question happened to strike me: What makes football rough? and the answer came—the tackling. What makes the tackling? The only way of stopping the man running with the ball. Why not eliminate the running and that would eliminate the tackling? But you can't play a game and stand still all the while. Then I conceived the idea of letting all the men run except the man with the ball and he would have to pass it before he could run.
"That point settled and experimented with and found satisfactory, the next that came up was the question of goals. An ordinary football goal would be too easy to make, a goal such as used in lacrosse or soccer would likely be easily torn down by sending the ball into it with great force. I thought of the plan of turning the goal up horizontally so that the ball instead of being thrown in forely would have to go into it before it entered. I thought at first of placing it about two feet off of the floor and then I realized that all a goal keeper would have to do was to sit on it and it would be impossible for the opponents to score. I then thought of placing it up above the players' heads.
Peach Baskets, Ergo Basket Ball.
"I went to the janitor and asked for some sort of a box. It just happened that he procured a couple of baskets (such as peaches are shipped in) about eighteen inches across at the top and tapering down toward the bottom. We nailed these up on the galley which was the kitchen. The name "basket-ball" has clung to the game ever since and the official height of the goals has remained just ten feet.
The game was very successful in giving the men indoor exercise and training and when vacation came in the summer the men went to their various homes all over the United States and carried the game with them."

Y. M. C. A. IS BADLY IN NEED OF FUNDS
Directors' Financial Report Issued Today Shows Deficit of $48,088.
The board of directors of the University Y. M. C. A. has issued a statement today regarding the work of the Association. This statement shows that to date the membership is 486 compared with 425 the total last year. The financial report shows a present deficit of $408.88.
The report also states that the work in Bible Study is more effective than formerly. It is being carried on in closer co-operation with the churches of Lawrence than in other years. The missionary interests of the University have received a decided impetus from the fact that H. C. Herman gave up his work among the students here in order to engage in similar work among the students of India. The faculty and students are contributing this year $1,100 toward the support of Herman's work.

All student employment has been turned over to the general secretary of the association by the University authorities, and the Regents made an annual appropriation of $500.00 toward the support of the employment bureau. Work has been secured for practically all men who desired it. It is estimated that the value to students of work received in this way has been $7,500.00.
Annual board meeting will be held Wednesday night of this week at 7 o'clock, in order to avoid conflict with the Glee Club. The meeting will be over by 8 o'clock.
TAKES A DR. COOK TO DRAW A CROWD THERE
"Washington Is Most Cosmopolitan City in United States"—Croissant
GOVERNMENT BY CONGRESS
No Equal Suffrage Question Before People, None Can Vote—Western Improvement.
"Washington has a more cosmopolitan population than any other city in the United States," said Prof. DeWitt C. Croissant in his chapel address, this morning, on "The Capitol City."
"Civil service employees come from every state in the Union, while the foreign representatives add a touch of color to the avenues. People are so used to seeing celebrates that they think nothing of it. The only men I have known to collect a crowd, except on formal occasions were Dr. Cook and the President of the United States, and indeed, the latter does not attract a very great one."
Professor Croissant reviewed the history of Washington and told how the city is governed today.
"The residents of Washington cannot vote, but are contented nevertheless. Congress is Washington's board of aldermen, and the city administrative officials are appointed by the president. Washington has no suffragette question either.
"The morals of Congress have changed, for the better in the last few years," he said. "Public business is now conducted more decoratively and with less regulators are largely responsible for many of these improvements."
The difference in procedure between the dignified Senate and the "hurly-burly" House was discussible by brief Professor Croissant. Briefly he explained that Court was the one place where patronage and poll were not considered.
"Washington is interesting. There is the excitement which always attends politics but there is also a quietness and an opportunity for culture and enjoyment that no other city in the new world possesses."

AFTER YOUR NEXT CASE,
TRY THE SPHYGMOGRAPH
"On your mark! Get set! Go!" With the slipping of unspiked shoes in the granitoid walk in front of the Medic building, a costless figure wildly clawed the air with his right arm while he held the left, bent and rigid against his chest. At last he got a toe-hold and with quick, snappy leaps, he jumped over, almost slamming the Howl Hook to Fowler Shops. Wheeling, he stretched back on the home stretch. His feet and legs almost refused to move. His arms jerked up and down feebly. He was about all in.
"Well, what does she register?" asked the man as he marped the aspirant to a short dashman.
"Only eighty to the minute. I believe there is something wrong with this old Sphygmograph. But I've noticed that ever since that case I had back home, I haven't had a fragment of pulse. I beat you out on the smoking deal, though."
"Phew! This may be fun but I sure have my doubts," panted the speedy one as he flapped down on the dead grass and pulled a slip of smoked paper from his hand and inserted instrument placed in appearance; which was clamped to his left wrist.
Two sophomores were making observations on the rate of a student's pulse after extreme exertion, and after smoking. The Sphygmograph, the instrument used for recording the pulsations, is clamped to the observers' chests. When the subject dactately adjusted to a needle, presses the wrist at the medial artery.
By means of a small strip of smoked paper the pulsation waves are registered After running and smoking the pulse rate increases notably. The small wave-like marks on the paper are similar in both cases. When the records are made, the strips are treated to a coat of adhesive rubber membrane records. The experiments were made for the class in Physiology under the suprvision of Dr. E. L. Scott

POOR RICHARD SAYS:
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1912
Let not the sun look down and say
Inglorious here he lies!
WELCOME, ARCHITECTURE With scarcely a word of introduction a new department has come into being at the University of Kansas. A new five-year course in Architecture has just been established in the School of Engineering. However inapp塑iously established, there is no doubt that this new department has a great future, simply because the science of architecture has a great future.
It is one of the best evidences of a high degree of civilization in America today and the American people are coming to appreciate refined architecture and to demand of builders a due respect for this public taste. Today our cities are filled with abominable buildings of the past, poorly designed, cheaply constructed, and positively ugly; tomorrow our cities, through the pressure of public opinion, will require beauty, dignity, and refinement of architecture in every public or semi-public building. It is the right and the duty of the people to demand beauty in the buildings they pass on the street every day, and they will continue to manifest this growing demand until it is satisfied.
To say nothing more of its practical economic utility in modern buildings, even as a purely cultural subject, architecture is a highly desirable course of study. It is a keen pleasure to be able to know the style of architecture of each building on the campus, and of other buildings we see. How many students know the difference even between an Ionic column and a Gothic pier?
The University of Kansas never could have been quite complete without such a course as this in architecture. In a few years it will surely gain a high rank at the University, and will become of great service to the state of Kansas.
So the dances May day are to be "pretty folk dances." We thought from observations in previous years, that it was only the costumes that had to be pretty.
KNOWING THE BIRDS.
If a group of twenty students, or professors either for that matter, were asked to name fifteen of the forty-one birds that live on the campus, how many do you think could do it? How many of the forty-one can you name?
Everyone knows something about birds. The picture of a brilliant cardinal feeding in the white snow is so vivid that no one who has ever seen it ever forgets that the cardinal stays with us all year. Who has not heralded the coming of spring by the sight of the first robin? Frequently the newspaper comment on the unusual occurrence of a solitary cock-robin seen in a tree top in the middle of January. Contrary to common belief, the robin does not leave us when the snow comes, but retires to the woods where he can find sumac, choke chespe, and other berries to eat. When the snow melts, he leaves the shelter of the woods and hops about the yards and parks in search of fresh green grass sprouts and early worms.
Who has not seen "the little chicka-
dee, 'way up high in the top of the tree?' Even the coldest nights cannot drive him from our doorsteps. When the ice becomes thicker and the snow falls deeper and all out-doors seems to be frozen up, he appears with the earliest sunbeams chirping and skipping in search of his breakfast. He is thought of only as a winter bird, yet he stays in the same locality the year round. There are many other less common birds whose acquaintance is well worth making.
In order that te student may learn something about the birds that live where he does when he does, two cases containing the birds of the campus and those of the seasons have been placed in the museum.
Have you seen them yet?

NOT SO MUCH NOISE.
The following editorial from the "Silver and Gold" of the University of Colorado shows that they have troubles. They are similar to those at the University.
"Some people say that the Library is the noisest place about the Campus. This is not true. We deny the charge. There are times when there is a great deal more noise in the Engineering Shops and the Library is very quiet compared with the gymnasium in the midst of an exciting basketball game. The library is not the noisiest place on the campus—but there is a great deal more noise there than there need be.
"It sometimes appears as if those who had failed to slam the outside door were trying to atone for their negligence by walking across the uncarpeted portions of the floor by going up the iron stairs, or down the wooden steps, some books a book or two, by moving some chairs and then sitting down to talk.
"No one expects or desires absolute silence in the library. No one expects healthy young people to move about like ghosts. No one wants to establish prison rules in the library. No one can object when one student greets a friend with a wisper or two. But why not use a little moderation?
Once in a while a student with a perverted notion of college life goes into the library to study. Such individuals may be rare but if so they should be encouraged to remain in our museum for curiosities, if nothing For them the library little less than give them a place where they can read and study in peace.
"Most of the confusion in the library is unintentional as it is unnecessary. We don't think what we are doing. We assume that the small amount of noise that we are making is not going to amount to much—and it would not if everybody else were quiet. But when everybody acts upon the same assumption, the result is a great deal of confusion. We all mean to do the fair thing but we forget."
The University of Toronto had 6,000 students last year. $1,500,000 was spent in students, resulting in a new stadium and athletic field gymnasium, students' union, Y. M. C. A., addition to library, museum and a central heating plant.
A TRUMPETER in a battle ventured too near the enemy. They were captured by them.

THE HALL OF FAME
"Because Quebec is founded on such a tall bluff," replied the Professor.
Cornell Widow.
Taking into consideration the forty-two real members of the Hall of Fame, excluding the women and men of foreign birth, twenty-eight or, 66 per cent, attended college. Twenty-six are graduates, for James Fennimore Cooper, Edgar Allen Poe, and William Cullen Bryant left Yale, University of Virginia and Williams, respectively, before graduation. Of these twenty-eight, ten are Harvard graduates, making a total of 36 per cent of all the college men in the Hall of Fame. The Harvard representatives are John Adams, John Quincy Adams, both United States presidents, Joseph Storey, William Ellery Chamming, Phillips Brooks, George Bancroft, and three men of letters, James Russell Lowell, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Oliver Wendell Holmes.
"Yale is second to Harvard in matter of representation, five Yale graduates having been elected to membership. James Kent, of the Class of 1871, has been awarded a place in the logio of jurists.
"Eli Whitney, of the class of 1792, inventor of the cotton gin, is one of the four scientists admitted to 'The Hall of Fame.' By his own efforts Eli Whitney earned enough money to pay his way through college. Samuel Finley Breese Morse of the class of 1810, likewise is placed among the immortal American scientists, having won through the invention of the telegraph, great distinction. Jonathan Edwards, Yale 1720, was elected to the Hall of Fame upon its establishment. The fifth and last Yale man in the Hall is James Fennimore Cooper, who although he never graduated, spent three years at the University.
"In point of numbers, the United States Military Academy at Wdst Point, though in the strictest sence not a college, has the next largest representation. Three of the four military men in the Hall of Fame, U. S. Grant, Robert E. Lee, and William Tecumsher semah, all veterans of the Civil War, are West Point graduates. The fourth, Admiral David J. Farragr, received none but practical training.

OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
OH, WHY SHOULD THE SPIRIT OF MORTAL BE PROUD?
The following poem was a particular favorite with Abraham Lincoln. It was first shown him when a young boy asked it, "What did it cut from a newspaper and learned it by heart. He said to a friend, "I would give a great deal to know who wrote it, but have never been able to understand." Afterwards learn the name of the author.
O. why should the spirit of mortal be wrought?

Children Heard Tales of "Little Colonel" at the Library
Library
Just imagine hearing all about your favorite characters in fiction, from some one who has known them personally! That was the treat enjoyed by over a hundred girls and boys at the Lawrence Public Library Saturday afternoon, when Miss Amarynthia Smith, special in the College, told the children all about the "Little Colonel," and how Annie Fellows Johnston came to write the book. And about Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch, and her creator, Alice Heagan Rice.
Miss Smith, whose home is in Louisville, Kentucky, was a playmate of Hattie Cochran, the original of the "Little Colonel," at their summer homes in the "Peebee Valley near Louisville. An intimate account of Mrs. Wiggs and her home in the Cabbage Patch quite delighted the children.
"And when you-all come down to Louisville," cordially invited Miss Smith, "if you'll come to see me, I'll take you out and show you the Little Colonel's home, 'The Locusts' and Mrs. Wigg's house in the Cabbage Patch."
When the story hour was over, a dozen joyful infants crowded around Miss Smith, clamoring for her Louisville address.

Dr. Crumbine's Almanac Gives Practical Rules for Side-stepping Disease
Try the pop-corn crisp at Wiedemann's—Adv.
Dean S. J. Crumbine of the School of Medicine is responsible for the fact that the monopoly which the patient medicine companies have had on getting out almanacs has been broken by the Kansas State Board of Health. The Kansas State Board of Health has for 10-12 containing much valuable information on matters of health.
One page of each month is devoted to information on how to avoid one of the infectious diseases. For instance, if you have any dread of typhoid fever, just turn to page 11 and you will find the very latest and best approved methods of preventing this disease; how to "swat the fly," directions for the disposal of garbage, and methods for cleaning the bathroom around the horses and shop at all times. There is no speculation, no theorizing; you can accept as tried and proven every assertion regarding disease made therein.
Following each day of each month, on the opposite page, are tabulated chronologically important dates in Kansas history, furnished by Secretary Martin of the State Historical Society. If your memory is a little rusty on the date of Quantrell's said, oil borer Bayou Perry should be observed; but you have to do is to look at the almanac, and the information will be at hand immediately.
Interspersed between the dates are pungent health epigram, presented in such a manner that the attention is fixed on the subject matter treated.

ATHLETES NOT THE POOREST STUDENTS
Their Grades at. Illinois Above Those of Average Students
DO NOTHINGS IN LOWEST RANK
Statistics at the Champaign School
Spoil the Time Worn
"Pass the Ball" Joke
Those enemies of athletics who claim that it is the interest in college sports which keeps down the academic standings, the most important to have to look for a new stamping ground.
have to look for a man. The dean of men at the University of Illinois after a long investigation of the classroom work of more than 3,000 men has arrived at the conclusion that the athlete, if any different from the average student, stands a little higher in the scholarship scale.
Once, at a time before these discoveries were made, there was an ancient joke that alleged, in a slurring manner that all a football player could pass was the ball. The accusation of poor scholarship did not end there, however, but passed to every branch of competitive sports. Do not do the athlete does not lie, the athlete is more than holding his own with the mass of the students.
Still more remarkable is the fact, shown by the Illinois figures, that the athlete did better work during the season when he was working in his particular branch of athletes than he did at any other time of the year.
In 1909-10 the averages of the men of the University was 81.21, and for 1910-11 it was 81.78. Compare those figures with those of the athletics in below and we see there the old all brown and no brain theory is headed for.
AVERAGE FOR ATHLETES
1st Sem. 2nd Sem. Yr.
Football team...81.80 81.26 81.25
Baseball team...83.42 80.71 82.07

Track队...83.29 82.85 83.07
Swimming队...83.61 81.13 82.37

Grand average...81.39 82.45 81.91

Football team 79.86 80.97 80.91

Soccer team 84.90 83.48 84.19
Tennis队 78.08 81.27 79.67
Gymnasium team 82.31 85.51 83.91
Freshman base
Another theory that went up with the pass the ball joke was that comprehended in the grand old jest: "My studies interfere with my college life." It was found in the same investigation that the men who were the leaders in college activities other than athletic had percentages in their studies that were several points above those of the average student. In 1909-1910 the men drew a total grade of 84.34 and in 1910-11 a per cent of 83.77.
And the saddest part of it is that the people that have been kicking college athletics around, to say nothing of knocking gleefully on the men who took part in other college activities are finally confronted with the fact that the 40 lowest averages in two years are charged to men who never made a touchdown, a home run, or a basket, men who did not even write dope for the college rag or hit the high spots on the glee club.

PRINCETON TO THE FORE IN TRACK ATHLETICS
Princeton University is getting into the field of athletics more and more every year. Since the advent of Keene Fitzpatrick at the tiger school her success in track has materially increased.
In view of this fact the Princeton track schedule has been largely increased this year in order that the men of the squad may have ample opportunity for working out before the Pennsylvania relay meet and the Olympic Games tryout. Five indoor meets have been scheduled.
WASHINGTON WOMEN WEAR UNIVERSITY "W"
Emblem Is Awarded by Athletic Association to Muscular Co-eds
The formation of the Woman's Athletic Association by the athletic co-eed of the University is a step toward the position held by athletics at Stanford, University of Washington and other western universities.
The action of certain athletic co-eds in calling a meeting of girls to form a Woman's Athletic Association is a step in the direction of forming an association of those existing at Stanford University of Washington, and other western schools.
Among the Pacific coast schools, especially, the athletic girls have dome into prominence. They are awarded a letter for proficiency in women's athletics and receive the same recognition from the University as the athletics of the sterner sex and guard their emblems with equal jealousy.
The Woman's Athletic Association at the University of Washington has decided that the winning of the woman's letter should be made more difficult and to that end have added to the requirements that the athletic co-must fulfil before she may wear the coveted emblem.
The rule formerly was that the young woman who aspired to athletic honors had to make four class teams before the letter was granted. Under this ruling a girl who could place on her class team four times whether in the same sport or in different ones was awarded the woman's emblem. The sports that were included were basket ball, base ball, tennis and hockey.
The new rule that the women have adopted has added three more sports to the list; track, rowing and volley ball. The woman who would now wear the W. must now make her class team in five out of the seven sports. Getting a place on a team twice in the same sport is not counted toward the letter-
ROWING CLUB WILL OWN
HOME AT POUGHKEPSII
Columbia University Crew Will Have Training Quarters on Intercollegiate Rowing Course
The Rowing Club of Columbia University has purchased land and water rights at Poughkeepsie, where the crew has been practising for the last three seasons. The sale was made through the graduate treasurer of the rowing club.
Columbia is the first of the institutions that send crews to Poughkeepsie each year to become the owner of its training quarters. Last year the Columbia crew had difficulty in obtaining permission to moor its boat house, and it was to obviate this difficulty that the purchase was made.
The Columbia crew management expects to erect a large building to contain the kitchen and dining room and a large social hall.
The property is situated at the one mile mark on the intercollegiate rowing

BURNED OUT, BUT LOSE ONLY ONE DAY
Washington High Carries on Work in the County Court House
Washington High School, Feb. 12.
—(By Ivan Allen, Special Correspondent).—School goes on with much earnestness and zeal regardless of the fact that our fine high school building and all its contents were destroyed by fire January 13. The fire was of an unknown cause and had gained such headway before being discovered that nothing but the records were saved.
School is now held in the court room of the county court house. There are not so many inconveniences as might be expected in regard to class recitation rooms and the general order of the school. However, there are no blackboards, laboratory and physics experiment apparatus. The new domestic science equipment was destroyed; cooking has been discontinued. School necessities are ordered and are arriving every day, so that in a short time work can be resumed on a more practical basis.

HANDS ARE SPINNING ON OLD PHYSICS CLOCK
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 14, 1912.
Happy-go-lucky Time-piece Makes a New Semester Resolution
PRESSURE BROUGHT TO BEAR?
Physics Department Refuses to Talk as to Form of Coercion Administered.
The Physics Clock is Running!
A student crossing the campus at eight o'clock this morning discovered that the hands pointed to eight o'clock.
Considering it a mere coincidence he passed on his way.
Another student coming from a detained eight o'clock glancing at the building with the Queen Anne front entrance, a rear back view said that the clock said 9:18.
He verified it. Student number one joined him and they compared notes Gazing frankly into the open face of the cluck they found it was running!
Other students and an occasional professor stopped to watch the hands go

to talk," said Professor M. Weiss who had placed if coal-oil or gasoline had been used.
"Did you shake it up?" persisted the cub.
"I refuse to talk."
"Did you find a wheel missing?" "I refuse to talk."
Anyway the campus time-piece is grinding away and the happy-go-lucky who clambers up the hill tomorrow morning at 7.57$^{\circ}$ will be reassured by a glance at the weather-heaten face in the tower.
And now it can truthfully be said that everybody on the hill is working
Later: The clock stopped without
warming at 12:01.‡
GLEE CLUB TRAVELS IN A PRIVATE CAR
Route Changed to Include Oklahoma and Texas on the Trip
The route of the University Glee Club, on its trip to the western coast, has been slightly altered. The club will go to Chanute first instead of Newton as was arranged at first. From Chanute they will travel through Oklahoma and Texas to the southwest. New Mexico and California.
Melvin Kates, manager, said this morning that a private car had been secured for the special use of the members of the club on the entire trip. He was not certain this morning, whether it will be a Pullman sleeper or an observation car. The club will leave Lawrence Monday February 19 at 9:50 and will be gone from classes for two weeks.
A concert with a program of two parts will be given in Fraser hall tonight. Tomorrow night the concert will be given in the Bowersock opera house. Student tickets will be good for the concert tonight, but fifty cents admission will be charged tomorrow night.
Will Name New Health Committee
A new University public health
committee will be named by the
Chancellor in accordance with acti-
taken by the University Council
yesterday afternoon. This is made
necessary by the absence of three
members of the committee this sem-
ester, Dr. Bailey, Professors Daltor
and Billings.
The University Council instructed the secretary to inform the Men's Student Council that their criticism of Council action in regard to removing the members of the orchestra and Fine Arts opera from the control of the faculty committee on organizations had already been anticipated by the rescindings of such Council action.

OPEN HOUSE FOR FACULTY
Chancellor Strong announced to the University Council yesterday afternoon that he had set apart an open hour for teachers to meet with him and discuss any matters relating to the welfare of the institution The hour will be on Tuesdays from three to four o'clock in the afternoon.

The University Council at its meeting yesterday afternoon allowed a request from Arvid L. Frank manager of the sophomore annual party that the time of turning off the lights be made 12:30 instead o' midnight. This will allow the dancing to continue until 12 o'clock.
YOUTH VS AGE--
DOLDE WON 12 TO 0
District Court Verdict Favors Middle Law Over Experienced Lawyer of 50
With a knowledge of law acquired in a year and a half in the School of Law, Charles Dolde went to Leavenworth and won a case in the District Court.
Dolde, who is a middle law and has not been admitted to the bar, gained special permission from the judge to try the case. He had it first in the Justice of the Peace court last summer and, appalled it to the higher court.
The case was Miller vs. McCauley.
McCauley, the defendant, Dolde's client,
took a grinding wheel from Miller's barn a year ago and failed to return it. Miller sued him for $1, the cost of the stone. The attorney opposing Dolde, Matt Nangle, who is fifty years old, spent much time in attempting to ridicule the youth of "my wise young friend."
Dolde won the case on his plea to the jury. In this he pictured his client, a cripple, being persecuted by an overbearing neighbor. He took advantage of one of Nangle's statements that the cripple owed Miller fifty dollars to show that the suit for $1 was only a spite case. Dolde explained that he had proved affirmative statements through the trial while all of Nangle's had been negative. The jury out ten minutes. McCauy was awarded the verdict and Miller forced to pay the court expenses which amounted to fifty dollars.
SENIOR FARCE PROGRESSES
Committee Attempting to Get Original Production That Has Vim.
ANNOUNCE PLAY IN A WEEK
The Masque Club was entertained last night at the home of Miss Gertrude Mossler and plans for their play were discussed. The definite date of the play has not been decided upon, but it will be some time during the latter part of April.
The senior farce committee is working hard on the comedy that will be presented during commencement week in the spring. The farce will be completed by April 1 and the try-out will be held and work on the presentation will be commenced.
Gladys Elliott, chairman of the Farce committee, said this morning that efforts were being made to inject originality into the plot of the play they will give and that the committee was attempting to get away from the set atmosphere and circumstances of all college farces.

Plans Were Discussed
The name of the play will be announced in a week.

Colonel Wilder H. Metcalf, of Lawrence, regimental commander, reviewed the University company of the K. N. G. in the gym last night.

Commission Wants to Know if

Under Low Pressure.
REGENT'S VIEW POINT IN AHRENS' AFFAIR
At the instance of the Kansas Public Utilities Commission, an investigation of the natural gas pressure to determine just what the consumer receives for twenty-five cents a thousand cubic feet when the pressure is high and when it is low, has been started by Prof. P. F. Walker of the Mechanical Engineering department. E. H. Guelman, secretary of the Commission, shipped to Professor Walker two of the tested meters that are installed for use. These meters were tested for every possibility in measuring gas and then sealed by the state engineer be fore being shipped.
Tests made here will show whether or not a gas meter runs as fast or faster with low and high pressure the heat obtained from a certain quantity in a certain time under various pressures and under various heating appliances.
"Thousands of persons complained of their gas bill for January when they had little gas and still the meters seemed to run," said Mr. Hogueland. "At Wichita, Hutchinson, and Topeka, the city commissioners are planning court proceeding to reduce the price of gas a certain per cent when the pressure is low, as the consumers do not get the same amount of heat from a thousand cubic feet at low pressure that they do at high pressure, so it is said. We don't know about this but we have arranged with the University to find out."
MUST COLLECT $50.
Young Women of Senior Class Will Redeem Pledge to Dorm, Fund
Arrangement have been made for collecting the money that the organization of the young women of the senior class pledged for the dormitory fund. They promised to raise $50 and will make efforts to deposit the money with the treasurer of the fund by March 1.
Following is the arrangement for making the collection. Anna Manley will call on those whose names begin with A and B; Myrtle Ferguson C; Mildred Manley E, F, and I; Brown Angle H; Bertha Burgess, J, K, L and Z; Beulah Murphy M; Glendale Griffith P, and R; Nell Martindale S; Lucy March T, W and W; Winneford Fisher G, U, and O.
Illustrated 'Deutschheilebegesage,' or German love songs will be a feature of an entertainment planned for March 28 by the German Club, a boarding club of language students who speak only German at meal time. The club will present a light German play at the Fraternal Aid Hall, and after the performance, singing and dancing will be in order. The cast of the play will present some old-world feature dances.
The women of the class have been divided into squads arranged alphabetically and each squad has beer assigned to a certain girl who shall call, in person, on those upon he list. In this way, every member of the class will be interviewed.

William Allen White Replies to Editorial in the Daily Kansan
WRITES AS "AN OLD FRIEND"
Author-Editor Once Bombardier Chancellor's Office And Was "Meaner than Any of You."
To the Daily Kansan:
First let me say that your article upon the Ahrens matter in your issue of the ninth is exactly the kind of fair dignified discussion of subjects pertaining to university management from the studentus view point that should be found in a student's paper of a high grade. You're making a success of your daily that will bring credit upon the university all over the state and the country. I know of no other daily student paper in the country that excelled at this task, and your expression entirely correct in form and in spirit from a student's view point, and I congratulate you upon the straight forward way you go at it.
Also by way of parenthesis, let me say that I have not been so long out of school that I do not remember lining up with a body of indignant boys outside of the Chancellor's door to see the Regents about the action of the faculty in trying to control the expression of a student's paper, and we remember how we stressed our rights when it was wrong! Stick to your rights; if you will be wrong sometimes; but it is better to be wrong than to be pie-faced.
Now about the Ahrens matter: It is one of those matters upon which divergence of opinion comes from divergence of viewpoint; you look at it from the inside out the university; we outside have another squint at it. Your view point is that it is dishonorable to turn state's evidence. (I wish to say snitch, instead of "turn state's evidence", but having used the word pie face, I have gone about as far in that direction as the Englisch. But it is of course loyalty, and loyalty is the first of the cardinal virtues. Probably youth should cultivate loyalty, with the hope that discernment will come with years. Loyalty plus discernment is the basis of all character.
Depends on Viewpoint
Now we see your viewpoint in school try for a moment to see our viewpoint out of school, and then you may appreciate the feeling of those who feel that the soft pedal should not be put on th Ahrens matter.
A Champion of Students
For a quarter of a century in the faculty one man above all others has stood time in and out for the rights of the student democracy; he has stood for sport. He has encouraged all the student activities. When boys were in trouble he championed them. When they got in jail, he got them out; when they let their youthful spirits rise, he smoothed the wrinkled high brow of care upon the members of the faculty, who would have come down hard with discipline Green — Jimmie Green, God bless Green — Jimmie Green, God bless Green — If the students of Kansas University owe loyalty to any one, they owe it to Jimmie Green.
Yet Ahrens deliberately deceived Dean Green, cold-bloodedly made him the goat in this whole matter; imposed upon the best friend a university boy ever had and by appealing to Dean Green's love of sport and of good sportsman, put him where he signed an affidavit to Ahrens' eligibility. Is an ineligible boy who will do that thing worthy of any other boy's entire respect? Are those who knew of his ineligibility and realized that he was doing this unspeakably cowardly thing to Dean Green to be shielded by the student body in their loyalty to Ahrens, and in their disloyalty to Dean Green?
A Case of Cheating
The Student Council recently reprimanded certain students for cheating in examinations. isn't it worse to cheat this kindhearted, chivalrous gentleman who all these years has fought the boys' battles? What we who are out of school feel is that you who are in school should stand by your friends. Dean Green has been your friend. Ahrens went to Dean Green, because Ahrens knew
the Dean was the man in school who more than many others was gentle high-minded and loyal to the boys. The men who were accessory to Ahrens' act knew exactly who would suffer when Ahrens was exposed The students know who now is left holding the sack. Is not some public censure due to those who knew what Ahrens was doing? Did they not owe infinitely more loyalty to Dean Green than they owed to Henry Ahrens? Perhaps they did not have discernment with their loyalty.
But the student body has discernment. The Student Council has discernment. You who are in school know. You are entrusted with self-government. A crime against good manners, good morals and good student government has been committed. Presumably certain members of the team were accessories to this crime before and after the fact; certain members of the Sigma Chi fraternity were accessories to this crime. The regents have no complaint against the man upon whom this brutal crime was committed. We know Dean Green for all that his big manly, boyish heart and his fine just mind and noble soul is worth.
Rules Not Alone Violated
But what of the Student Council? Should the Council offer as a remedy a change in the elegibility rules when the Council must know that it was not the rules but Dean Green's kind heart that was violated? You must change his heart and not the rules if students like Ahrens and his accessories are to operate in the University. And these men will operate in the University year after year, so long as kind hearts are found in the faculty, unless the Student Council by formal action makes a public disclaimer of the mistaken loyalty of the men who shielded Ahrens.
Boys—for I assume this is after all a boy's affair—this is written on my forty-fourth birthday. I am climbing to youth as a dying man to live. I have a passionate desire to see and understand and be one in the life you are living. Above everything I don't wish to be an old crank. I not speaking only for myself; not for the Regents—except to say we didn't "threaten football"; not for the Chancellor; not even for the taxpayers of Kansas. I am speaking just as an old friend who rumped and fooled and loafed and loved and sorrowed and was happy; on the hill twenty-five years ago and who was meaner than any of you; meaner than Ahrens so far that goes. For after all Ahrens didn't think; the fellows with him didn't think. Life's business is to make us think. It hurts sometimes it costs fearfully in every thing that is dear to learn to think. And the sooner you pay, and the more manfully you pay, the quicker you are out of debt.
In Debt
In the Ahrens matter it seems to me half a dozen or a score of fellows are in debt—in debt to the student body for what this accessor group did to Dean Green. He has forgiven them of course. Everyone knows he is not crying for retaliation: I am sure that the Board desires no vengeance. But I know one member who feels that so long as you boys are to have a formal government and not a cream puff and chocolate eclair order of society you should in your organized capacity temper the loyalty of your mistaken fellows with a little discernment.
Truly,
W. A. WHITE.

PROF. H. A. RICE TOASTMASTER
Ticket Sale Begins Monday Evening
—Damages Are $1.25 This Year
—More than 300 Expected
The date for the sixth annual Engineers' banquet has been set for Saturday evening February 24. It will be held in Robinson gymnasium at 8:30 o'clock. Speakers from Kansas City, Topeka, Manhattan, and Rolla, Missouri, besides several members of the University faculty, have been secured for the banquet and Prof. H. A.

The Engineers' banquet has been an annual feature of the Engineering students' life since 1907 and this year it is expected that all former records for attendance will be broken.
"We are planning on an attendance of more than three hundred men," said Ed. Rhodes, president of the Engineers, this morning, "and the members of the various committees who are working on the stunt; promise that it will be bigger and better than ever. Each of the departments of the School of Engineering will have some stunt that they will pull off on the evening of the banquet and since the plans for these are being carefully guarded some big surprises will be in store for those who sit down to the table."
The price of the tickets this year will be $1.25 and the ticket sale will begin Monday morning.
HAS LEADING ARTICLE IN A NEW MAGAZINE
Prof. E. M. Hopkins Gives Account of Teaching Composition
The first number of a new monthly magazine, the English Journal, of which Prof. E. M. Hopkins is associate editor, appeared from the press of the University of Chicago, January 15. This periodical devoted t the interests of teachers and students in all English subjects, while largely pedagogic in character, is to be also linguistic and literary. The February number discusses the high school English course and the college entrance requirements; the March number gives an account of the work of the Drama League of America and will contain an original play for children. Each number will comprise sixty-four pages, and the first edition numbers 5000 copies.
The leading article in the first or January number is contributed by Professor Hopkins, and is an account of the results of the work of the Committee on English Composition Teaching of which he is chairman, and which has now been enlarged, and authorized to proceed further under the joint authority of the National Council of Teachers of English and the Modern Language Association of America. The Council by means of the Journal, which is its official organ, is giving the committee effective aid; and as one result of its cooperation a joint order has been received from a number of New England colleges for a ninth edition of the committee's report, 2500 copies, for distribution in New England. Blanks are sent out as an insert in the first number of the Journal to obtain further information for the committee as to the comparative cost of the teaching of English and other subjects.
Roy Stockwell, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., and Ray Soper, a junior in the College will go to Hutchinson, Kansas, tomorrow to attend the state convention of the Association

POOR RICHARD SAYS.
If you were a servant, would you not be ashamed that a good master should catch you idle? Are you able to learn your idle, be ashamed to catch yourself idle.
OPEN ON SUNDAY?
A year ago the Kansas legislature enacted a law requiring the University authorities to keep the Museum open on Sundays so that the working people could enjoy the collections there assembled. At the time of this enactment, the annual art display was held every winter in the Museum and the motive that prompted the proposal of the law was that the wage-earning class might have a chance to see the pictures.
With the completion of the Administration building the picture exhibit has been moved from the Museum to this building. But as this building is closed every Sunday the pictures are still out of the reach of those who work through the week.
At present the pictures are to be seen on week days and on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. The large class of working people in Lawrence, who have only Sunday for recreation and enjoyment, are deprived of the pleasure and profit to be derived from the exhibit. Is it in accord with the policy that the University is attempting to follow, that of serving all the people?
There still remain two Sundays before the paintings are to be removed. Why not open the doors of the art display to the working people of Lawrence on these days?
THE NEW CAFETERIA
If you believe that they don't teach home economics in the way it should be taught at the University, just put a few shekels into your purse and meander through the new University Cafeteria some day about noon.
We always imagined that a course in domestic science was a sort of a chocolate frappe affair, interspersed with various sorts of au gratin, Anglaise etc., all of which were the very essence of fine cooking but were of little value when a man wanted something that would stick to his ribs.
Well, we're feeling pretty good today; fit as a fiddle, and it's all because we have paid a visit to the emporium presided over by Miss Edna Day and we've had a nourishing and satisfying meal and we didn't have to chase a mile and a half off the hill to get it, either.
The new cafeteria opened yesterday, and judging by the patronage on the first day, it has promise of becoming a permanent feature at the University. The service was good, sufficient variety of food was offered and for a satisfying lunch at the noon hour at a moderate expense it would be hard to find a better place than our own University Cafeteria.
For several weeks the students have been clamoring for a lunch room. They have it now and if they
want it to stay it is incumbent upon them to patronize it.
The new Cafeteria is a mere force runner of the permanent commons that the University hopes to have before another year. At the present time it appears that either the Regents or the Alumni Association will attempt to establish such a commons.
If you wish to convince the people that we need such a place, the way to do it is to make the support of the present lunch room so strong that the necessity of a bigger and better commons will be obvious.
THE TROPHY ROOM
Every freshman who ever entered Robinson gymnasium has stopped and gazed through the glass casements of the dark little room in the north-west corner.
The bright color of a pennant or the glimpse of a loving cup has caught his eye and attracted his attention. He has closely read the inscriptions on the banners and pennants. He has been fascinated by the old footballs, baseballs, shoes, pictures and other trophies, and has strained his eyes to decipher the engravings and the inscriptions so that he may know of the hard-won glory that they represent. But the room is not too well lighted and he is far away. A carefully locked door shuts out the eager hands that would soil the banners or confiscate some of the trophies as souvenirs.
Yale has its trophies arraigned in glass cases along the sides of a long hall down which the student or freshman or visitors may pass and gaze upon the reminder of triumphs over Harvard and victories over Princeton. The freshman is able to read the inscription under the old decadent shoes with which Walter Camp kicked the long-remembered field goal that defeated Harvard.
And Yale is a school with traditions.
SAM WELLER'S VALENTINE
To Mary, Housemaid, at Mr. Krup kins' Mayor's, Ipswich, Suffolk.
"Lovely creetur i feel myself ashamed and completely cincum-scribed in a dressin' of you, for you are a nice gal and nothin' but it Afore I see you I thought all women was alike. But now I find what a reg'lar soft-headed, ink-red-lous turp must hea' been for there ain't nobody like you though I like you better than nothin' at all.
So I take the privilege of the day, Mary, my dear—as the gen'l'mn' in difficulties did, ven he valked out of a Sunday,—to tell you that the first and only time I see you your likeness was taken on my heart in much quicker time and brighter colors than ever a likeness was took by the profeel macheen (which p'raps you may have hareed on Mary my dear) altho it does finish a portrait and put the frame and glass on complete with a hook at the end to hang it up by and all in two minutes and a quarter.
Except of me Mary my dear as your valentine and think over what I've said—My dear Mary I will now conclude."
"Not a bit on it," said Sam. "she'll vish there was more, and that's the great art 'o letter writin' going to end with a verse," he added.
"That's rayther a sudden pull up ain't it, Sammy?" inquired the elder Mr. Weller.
"That's all," said Sam.
AN EDITORIAL BY MR. AESOP
Sam signed the letter— "Your love-sick Pickwick."
HE Hart was once drinking from a pool and admiring the noble ladies of the kingdom.
ingure he made there. "Ah," said he, "where you can see such noble horns as these, with such antlers!" I was glad to see the noble crown; it is a pity they are so slim and slight." At that moment a Hunter approached and sent an arrow whistling his away. Away bounded the Hart, and soon, by the aid of his sword, he drew up the sight of the Hunter; but not noising where he was going, he passed under some trees with branches growing low down in which his antlers were caught, so that the Hunter had time to come back and see what happened. We also deserve what is most pre-
lespise what is most use ful to us."
STUDENT OPINION
The editor is not responsible for the expresed message. Communications must be signed, at an evel. rate.
The democracy of the American university is being seriously questioned today. The institution of higher learning is being placed on the defensive by eminent critics. Although many of the charges that are made are unfounded and unjust, there are too many that have a real foundation.
UNIVERSITY DEMOCRACY To the Daily Kansan.
This matter is coming to demand the serious attention of educators and of students. It can not be brushed aside with a wave of the hand. The American institution of higher learning is founded upon the great common people of America, and to them it is answerable. "The moment it forgets its obligation to the race, the community, or the becomes alienated from the common people, that moment it loses its useful position in American civilization.
Happily, the University of Kansas can claim a place among the most democratic universities of the land. The spirit of aristocracy and cliques and snobbery has never yet taken hold on Mt. Orland to flourish as it has in the large universities, and this the University of Kansas can indeed take pride.
This, however, can not be said of all American universities. It is a deplorable comment on a modern institution of higher learning in a civilized country that such a news-item as the following is made possible:
"Not less than $50,000 will have changed hands when the festivities connected with the annual Junior end Sunday night:"
No better denunciation of just such conditions as this could be given than the following passage from a notable address by Woodrow Wilson, scholar and statesman:
"You can't spend four years at one of our modern universities without getting in your thought the conviction which is most dangerous in America—namely, that you must treat with certain i. fluencies which now dominate in the commercial undertakings of the country.
"The great voice of America does not come from the seats of learning. It comes in a murmur from the hills and woods and the farms and factories and the mills, rolling on and gaining volume until it comes to us from the homes of common men. Do these murmurs echo in your mind? I do not hear them. The universities would make men forget their common origins, forget their universal sympathies, and join a class—and no class ever can serve America."
"I have dedicated every power that there is within me to bring the colleges that I have anything to do with to an absolutely democratic regeneration in spirit, and I shall not be satisfied—and I hope you will not be—until America shall know that the nem in the colleges are saturated with the same thought, the same sympathy, that pulses through the whole great body politic."
C. G. F.
Friend "Cub," I have a sorrow deep,—my Kansas' ceased to come. The world's assumed a dull gray shade and life is on the burn. But when I stir my memory up, and dry the flowing tear, I have a hunch that I subscribed for only half a year. I thought perhaps a note you'd send, not too abrupt, that my subcription had expired, and would I please cough up. I little thought, while other woes I struggled to forget, that you'd come down on me like this, with payment two, and we were bone two, though the bone-yard's getting low, and any numbers that I've missed just send along, Old Bo. For if I had to walk to work, or give up chewing gum, I know I'd manage still some way to raise this patry sum; that all so cheaply purchases the model daily new, beloved by all the loyal "studes," the Kansan of K. U.
HIS IS A SAD TALE To the Daily Kansan;
How to rest is the newest thing to be taught in the modern university. "Classes in rest" have just been added to the gymnastic curriculum of the University of Wisconsin, according to reports received by the United States Bureau of Education.
TEACH STUDES TO REST
Kansas City, Mo.
In reporting to the Bureau, George Wehler, director of physical education at the Wisconsin institution, says: "We do not go on the theory that the gymnasium is good for everyone, and, therefore, everyone must take gymnastics. The purpose of these classes in the gymnasium is to teach 'fidgety', and who grow weary from the performance of tasks that ought not to produce fatigue, how to acquire control over their own nervous systems." —BOSTON TRANSCRIPT.
ST. VALENTINE'S DAY
Though the birds flies far
And the fair flower goes,
The sweet of the year
Is set in the snows.
The wind o' the winter
It breaks into bloom
And suddenly songs
Are sung in the gloom.
And winging hearts cross
And whisper together,
A night and a day
It is perfect weather
EUGENE FIELD.
STUDENTS EAST AND WEST
"It goes without saying that in Japan, as in America, there are students who are lazy and indifferent and who fall by the wayside; but on the other hand, the average college student of Japan looks upon his education with an unyielding opportunity and more in the nature of a call to serve his sovereign and his country.
College spirit is with him synonymous with patriotism. It is not local, but national. With him, as with the American, education is a matter of personal ambition, but always with the ideal of serving his native land. Although, therefore, the fundamental motives that move the Japanese students are the same as those that move the American student, the fire of the natural Japanese spirit touches the ideals of the Japanese student with a warmer glow of devotion to the national service.
The influence that goes far to conceal from the outside observer the fact that the underlying ideals of the Japanese and American student are much alike is the difference in the philosophy of life between the East and the West. The philosophy that the Japanese student learns teaches him to repress his emotion, to conceal from the world the evidence of danger and an anguish of hate. The philosophy of the Westerner permits him to exhibit freely these emotions; and yet the underlying human nature is the same in both.
The difficulty comes in the effort to estimate the real motive when the superficial symptoms are so different. In many qualities the Japanese and
the American student are singularly alike. Indeed, the points of friction that arise in Japanese and American intercourse come generally out of the characteristics which they have in common, rather than from those in which they differ. Both are alert, ambitious and aggressive and both are good 'buffers!' A distinctive characteristic of both Japanese and American students is individual ambition to succeed and a certain idealization of success itself. On both sides of the Pacific there is a tremendous sentiment among college students that the great object of life is to succeed at something."

NASSAU HALL RESTORED
Nassau Hall, one of the most famous college buildings in America, after a lapse of over a century, has again returned to an innovative center of Princeton University.
Although in 1756, when Nassau Hall was built, it not only served as the administrative center of the College of New Jersey, but also as the sole dormitory and recitation hall, the executive offices outgrew their quarters, and sought room elsewhere in 1803. Twice almost destroyed by fire, once riddled by bullets, in turn a peaceful institution of learning, a soldiers' barracks, a hospital, and the seat of the Continental Congress, Nassau Hall surely has a large claim on the affections of Princeton men.

It was there that Washington received thanks from Congress for his services during the war, and the first foreign ambassador to this country was received in the same room.—Boston Transcript.

CO-ED BURNED WHILE WASHING GLOVES
Miss Zula Chase, a Junior Used Gasoline Near a
Stove
Miss Zula Chase, a junior in the College, received several very painful burns yesterday while drying a pair of gloves which she had washed in gasoline.
Miss Chase had put the gloves on her hands to prevent shrinking, and was passing by a stove when they caught fire. Before she could remove them the fire had burned her hands and forearms quite severely.

Too Much Time Spent in Education, Says Investigating Committee in Its Report to Council.
That the student of today spends too much time in school is the opinion of the committee of investigation of economy of time in education. President James H. Baker of the University of Colorado is chairman of the committee.
This committee has been two years compiling data which it will file with the National Council of Education. As a result of the investigating they have concluded that by skillfully combining the modern courses the student may be enabled to carry out his professions and ambitions at the age of twenty or twenty-one, instead of twenty-two or twenty-three as at present.

SPANISH TOO PROFUSE
WITH SUPERLATIVES
"Don't trust Spanish superlatives," said Prof. A. L. Owen, of the Spanish department, in his lecture on Spanish Masters in Art, at the Unitarian church, Sunday night.
“But, when the Spaniard says that the Museo del Prado is the most beautiful gallery in Europe, we are compelled to take him at his word. This gallery contains the greatest pictures of Velasquez and Murillo.”
Professor Owen's lecture was illustrated by reproductions of Spanish masterpieces. Mrs. A. L. Owen, assisted by Mrs. C. H. Ashton, played several selections from the works of ancient and modern Spanish composers.
NO SECRET SOCIETIES

There never has been any secret societies among students at Bryn Mawr. It has been the rule since the foundation of the college that they should not exist, and there has never been any tendency to break this rule.
The only organizations of any kind, all of which have open membership, are those connected with classes and those of a sociological nature, as the Philosophic and Science clubs, the Consumers' League, the Young Women's Christian Association and various athletic clubs.

Wisconsin girls 'Have to be Good.
If you think you are abused by being forced to keep the "10:30 rule" think of the Wisconsin girls and be comforted. A new ruling of the Self-government Association at the University of Wisconsin announces that a girl must dismiss all callers at 10 p.m. or if driving must return by 9:30 p.m., or after a dance must be home within a half an hour after the close of the dance
This club is composed of all men interested in newspaper work.
These are not idle rules either, for the association has powers sufficient to suspend a girl from school for violation of these rules.

EVEN COMPLEXION OF NUTS DECEIVES US
According to O. E. Harder, State Food Analyst, the beautiful luster we admire so much on pecans is caused by a coating of brick dust.
O. E. Harder, State Food Analyst,Says Brick Dust Colors Pecans
When peanuts are gathered, small pieces of bark often cling to them and they are slightly cracked or the ends discolored. A course in the brick oven will make the almile, smooth, shiny and red. The color of the peanut is gray.
Dartmouth "Freshies" Poor Students Average scholarships for 1910-1911 at Dartmouth shows the senior mark was 76.7, that of the juniors 73.5, of the sophomores 69.6, of the freshmen 67.4 and of the entire college 71.1.
Composes Music for Opera:
Clarence L. Connor, a freshman in the College last year, has written the music for "The Diplomat," an opera to be given by the Kosmet Dramatic Club of the University of Nebraska. Connor entered Nebraska this fall.
He is a member of the Masque club here.
Mr. Harder has a varied collection of samples gathered from the dealers over the state. In some cases the nut is simply rubbed smooth and tinged with red while in others the dust is so thick that it rubs off easily on the fingers. The paper bags in which the nuts were bought, show the coating very plainly. One specimen was bought in Washington, D. C. The coating of this is not brick dust apparently, but red mud, and is thick enough to scale. The primary reason it is so coated is to cover defects and hide the age and quality of the nuts. In this it conflicts with that part of the pure food law which says, "It shall be unlawful to sell any food article if it be mixed, colored, powdered, coated, stained, or otherwise treated in a manner whereby damage or inferiority is concealed or whereby it is made to appear better than it really is."

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
VICARIOUS ATHLETICS FOR MANY STUDENTS
Half the Men Let the Other Half Play the Games for Them
SUNDRY AND VARIOUS CAUSES
Wrong Idea, says Dr. Naismith, but Did You Ever go to The Gym and Find no Place to Play?
Out of an enrollment of fifteen hundred men at the University, only about seven hundred take part in any form of university athletics during the school year.
When asked the reason for this seeming lack of interest in athletics among many of the students, Dr. Naismith replied:
"The men as a whole have the wrong idea concerning athletics at the University, and instead of taking athletics for athletes' sake, they pay more attention to the medals, "Ks", or trips which they hope to obtain. As a result, many men who are not proficient enough to win these hometown games should entirely. This feeling towards athletics is wrong and the men should consider the recreation, education, and physical benefits derived from athletics as of far greater value and importance than the winning medals or trophies."
Fifty Voluntary Gymnasts.
According to Professor Root, an average of less than fifty men a day take exercise in the gymnasium, who are not compelled to, and this includes all the engineers, laws, junior, seniors, and graduates in the College, and the faculties of all the schools, or approximately one thousand men. Only about three hundred of these men check with their teachers to determine thirds of these ever enter the gymnasium more than two or three times during the school year.
When Professor Root was asked what the most popular indoor game was, aside from basket ball, he replied, "Handball is by far the most popular gymnasium sport, and it is especially popular among many of the faculty and the upperclassmen, but as only one court is available for the playing of this game, many men are unable to play it who would otherwise do so."
Gym Classes Spirited.
The regular gymnasium classes have been made as interesting and spirited as possible, and the monotonous drills and exercises have been almost entirely eliminated. In their stead, soccer footballs and track hurdles are ball, and track have been substituted.
Of the inter-collegiate games and sports, track brings out the largest number of men, and yet only about one hundred and fifty men work out each year in the different branches of this sport. Last spring, Coach Hamilton in an effort to raise the number of men to three hundred, arranged for an interclass and inter-school meet. Trophies and prizes were offered and events arranged for all departments of track athletics.
The results were fairly satisfactory, and a large amount of competition and class spirit was aroused, yet only a few students of the University entered the events.
Football also Popular.
Football brings out the next largest number of men. Last fall about forty freshmen and fifty varsity men checked out football suits.
"Many more students would take part in baseball, if they had diamonds on which to play." said Coach Hamilton, "and an effort may be made this spring to construct two new diamonds in the hollow south of the Campus."
The student body as a whole takes more interest in football than it does in any other sport. Kansas is not alone in this condition, however, for college sports to be popular sport at practically every college and university in the United States.
Besides the regular University teams the fraternities organize teams in the spring, ann a series of inter-fraternity games are played.
Baseball is still a favorite game with the students, although the men are handicapped by the lack of sufficient diamonds. Last spring, thirty freshmen and thirty-five varsity men were out for baseball practice, and this number kept the two present diamonds in use most of the time.
In addition to the above sports and games, a few students also play tennis, golf, lacrosse, volley ball and a few others practice swimming, tumbling, wrestling, fencing, and boxing. A few students have also joined a dancing class which was recently organized.
All varsity men intending to try for battery positions must report to me immediately. Candidates for these positions failing to do so before Thursday night will be given no opportunity for trying out, unless personally excused by me.
RALPH SHERWIN
SEND ALL AMERICAN CREW
Ten Eyck Advocates Sending Picked Crew to Henley Regatta
Rowing Coach James A. Ten Eyck, of Syracuse University, favors the plan of selecting an all-American crew to try and lift the grand challenge cup at the Royal English Henley regatta. He believes that a crew that is all-American in every sense of the word, men, oars, would be a good team and could easily win the cup. The only advantage that the English oarsmen have is that they are not limited to three or four seasons, as are the men who represent the American colleges.
BASE BALL CANDIDATES TO PLAY MUST WORK
Those Who Would Not Be Benchwarmers Must Practice
Practice
"Early spring practice is what will count to a large extent in the pickin' of this year's varsity baseball team," said Coach Sherwin this morning. "The men who expect to wait for warmer weather, coming out will find themselves in need of 'K'." This rule will apply to old "K" men as well as the new candidates.
"At present there are but five candidates for the catcher's position Ogden, Hill, Charlesworth, Stiemer and Campbell. Hill, a sub of last year's varusity squad is the only man with much experience. On the pitching staff the squad is better fixed, having Buzick and McCarty of last year's varusity back as well as Walker and Delaney, who starred on last year's freshman. Ammons, Currey, Marsh and Cole are also working for this position. The call for the candidates for the other positions was issued Monday but as yet very few men have reported.
AGGIE STUDENTS SETTLE
THEIR EMBLEM PROBLEM
ebaters Will not Wear, "K" and Specially Designed FobsWill Decorate Athletics Only.
After deciding the question as to whether debaters should wear the University letter in the negative, the students at the Agricultural College proceeded to clean up the whole matter of Athletic honor.
The matter that caused the most trouble was a recommendation from the Student Council that the wearing of all K fobs and pins be prohibited to students who had not won their College letter.
After considerably wrangling a compromise was reached which allows the wearing of fobs and pins by all the students. The heroes however have a separate design set aside for their use alone and this particular type must decorate only the manly chests of the favored ones.

"Basket ball is one of the most intricate games and I'll venture to say that 50 percent of the people attending a basketball game cannot tell when a team is on the offensive, but Coach Hamilton said Coach Hamilton this morning.
In the use of signals by a basket ball team it is very essential that the team have a good center. A team is 50 per cent stronger with a good man in that position, because if he is able to get the tip off, nine times out of ten, a member of his team will get a chance to throw at the basket. Being able to make it comes only through practice. A goal made from the field while the ball is in play counts two, while a free throw which comes because of a foul by the other side counts but one.
Signals Essential.
A peculiar thing about a basket ball team is that no two players are alike and also no two teams. A team must know enough basket ball to meet this difficulty. The basket ball team here is taught to play basket ball by a set of signals, each player and play having a number; by this means faster team work is developed. By these signals the team know who is to handle the ball and how it is to be handled.
The player that calls the signals must be able to survey the field and know what play will be the best to call.
The University of Kansas team is coached to open up when one of the players of this team get the ball, that is each to get away from his opponent and to close up as soon as the opponents get the ball and be able to intercept their passes.
Dribbling Fine for Spectator.
From the spectator's view-point the dribbling game is the best, because it is the more exciting. Looking at the game from a scoring standpoint the passing game is the best. The good dribble game is also drastic in the rest of the field at the same time. Such players are few and far between.
There are more scores made from out-of-bound plays, that is, ball being put into play, by the passing of the ball from the boundary lines after it has gone out of bounds. It takes an alert official on this account to be able to watch the ball and know to which side it belongs.
A great many persons wonder why it is that in some games the score is very low and in others very high. The high score does not necessarily mean that the team has been playing well, so that many scores come from the bad playing of the losing team rather than the good playing of the winning team.
The style of playing basket ball used by a team has a great deal to do with the score. A team that plays the holding, blocking, and pushing game, which does not take a great deal of skill, generally results in a low score game.
Four Chinese Get Free Tuition.
Beginning July 1st next Columbia
University will give free tuition to four
Chinese students each year, according
to an announcement made today. The
conditions are that the students must be
duly qualified candidates recommended
by the Chinese Government for the privilege. At present Columbia has forty-five Chinese students on its rolls, most of them being Boxer
indemnity fund students. The policy of the University in granting exemption from tuition to foreign students was begun a year ago when five Turkish students received scholarships.
The team here plays the open game and is coached to get the ball without bodily contact. It is in this way that the University of Kansas team is able to play the faster and cleaner game of basket ball.

DOES FOOTBALL PROMOTE
COLLEGE INTERESTS? SURE
Arkansas City High School, Feb. 13—(By O. C. Ammons, Special Correspondent)—A debate was given this morning in the high school auditorium. The subject was "Resolved that football promotes the best interests in our colleges." The debate was between the Juniors of the two literary societies. The Cavaliers, represented by Harry Perival and William Turner, upheld the affirmative of the question and the Argonauts, represented by Virgil Jones and Hugh Stickler, had the negative. The decision of the judges was two to one for the affirmative. This was one of the most interesting debates that has been given in the auditorium this year.
"Within a single generation, while population has increased but a hundred per cent, the attendance upon institutions of higher learning has increased four hundred per cent. In 1880, in the United States, the whole number of secondary schools was 1,400. In 1907 the number has risen to 10,298 an increase of over 700 per cent."
Wisconsin junior prom programs for this year will contain forty pages. Each page will contain four separate divisions: one for the name of the舞; one for a selection; third, for the name of the partner; and last, a blank space, entitled "Memoirs of this Dance." An appropriate verse will close the bottom of each page.

High School Students Settl State Debating Honors With Live Subject
WOMAN SUFFRAGE TO DECIDE CHAMPIONSHIP
EIGHT DISTRICTS IN LEAGUE
Final Debate Will be Held Here Before The Annual Interscholastic Track and Field Meet.
About forty high schools have enrolled this season in the Kansas High School Debating League and are now preparing for the first series of debates in their respective districts. The league is divided according to the congressional districts in the state, and the district questions are as follows:
First District, Commission Plan of Government.
GLEEMEN SANG TO A LARGE AUDIENCE
Seventh District, Initiative and Referendum
Seventh District, Short Ballot.
Eighth District, Popular Election of Ursuline College.
Second District, Single Tax.
Third District, Parcelcs Post.
Fourth District, Income Tax.
Fifth District, International Disarmament.
Sixth District, Initiative and Re-
After the champions of the several districts have been decided, the interdistrict contests, held by the several district champion teams, will take place. The two teams winning in these contests will come to the University of Kansas the night preceding the annual interscholastic field meet and there debate for the state championship. The question for the interdistrict and final debates is of great interest in Kansas at this time, it being the adoption of the pending amendment to the constitution of Kansas extending the right of suffrage to woman.
Great interest is being taken by these schools in debating, and especially is this true of the schools that were in the League last year. One of last year's district champions has been working on a question since early in the summer.
The Kansas High School Debating League was organized in 1910 by the University Extension Division. The University extension issues yearly bulletins for the Debating League containing the lists of questions with full references. It also gathers material on all the debating questions and sends it out to the different schools free of charge.

The young men are working during vacation to gain practical experience in engineering, which they are specializing on at the university. The engineer in charge of the work says he wishes he had more of the same sort in his gangs.
The "Amerika Institut" has recently been founded in Berlin by the German government, with Professor Hugo Munsterberg, Harvard exchange professor, as its first director. Its object is systematically to further cultural relations between Germany and the United States. Political and commercial affairs lie outside of its realm, but anything which refers to education and scholarship, to literature and art, to technique and social welfare, to travel and public interests, to peace and international understanding will be the object of its efforts. The services of the staff will be at the disposal of American institutions scholars, and students, and effort will be made to bring into convenient contact with German universities, libraries, laboratories, and hospitals. The "Institut" may be addressed at the Royal Library building in Berlin.

Following Harvard's change last fall from the "elective" to the "group" system in study course comes the announcement that Yale has abandoned the elective system in favor of a group system, which while allowing a limited choice in subjects, insures greater discipline in undergraduate training in the college. This step, which is being taken in more or less modified form by many educational institutions throughout the country, will it is expected (to quote the language of the provost of the University of Pennsylvania), "raise the educational standards in America to an enormous degree."

WASH YOUR COAL AND YOU'LL GET MORE HEAT
Miners Are Doing It for the State With Good Results.
Under the direction of Prof. C. M. Young, of the Mining Engineering department, a first class coal washing plant has been installed in the Geology building. The purpose of the plant is to separate foreign substances from the coal. After the preliminary experiments are completed, next week, coal from all the mining districts in the state will be tested here.
The process for the coal-washing is based on the fact that pyrite and shale, being heavier than coal, will fall faster through water than the coal. The coal is collected in a bin, and the refuse is allowed to run out into the dump.
"The laboratory experiments with the plant have been very successful," said Professor Young, "and we predict the same success in the practical work."
The mechanical engineers will soon make exhaustive tests of both washed and unwashed coal. The coal used at the University is taken from the prison mines at Larsing, and contains large quantities of shale and pyrite. These foreign substances cause clinkers to form on the grates and this in turn shuts off the draft. Much of the efficiency of the coal itself is also lost by the grates. Last year two students working under the direction of Professor Young, washed and cleaned a ton of the state coal. One hundred and sixy-eight pounds of refuse was taken from this coal and the remainder produced more heat than a ton of unwashed coal, and burned without leaving clinkers.

RED DOMINOS WILL SING OF TRUE LOVE
Original Musical Comedy Will Be Staged Latter Part of April.
IT IS "OBJECT: MATRIMONY."
Arvid Frank and J. E. Moore are the Joint Authors—Tryout for Places February 20.
"Object: Matrimony." Sounds good doesn't it? Well it is the name of the musical comedy that the Red Dominos will produce sometime in April.
Last year the Red Dominos appeared in the college theatrical horizon with an original production "The Idle Idol" and their first appearance scored a big hit. Only one of the officers returned to school this year however, and for a time it was doubtful whether or not a play would be staged.
However Donald McKay, manager of the club, announced today that an original musical comedy had been written by two members of the Sopho- more class and that on next Tuesday evening at 7 o'clock in Fraser hall a tryout will be held which every student in the University is invited to attend. The tryout will be in charge of Miss Gertrude Mossler, of the department of expression, in the University, and as there are places for thirty people in the cast, a large number are asked to come out.
Arvid Frank and J. E. Moore, both members of the sophomore class, are the authors of the musical comedy. Frank has written seventeen songs which will be used in the play, Moore has written the book, and the lyrics have been written jointly by the two authors.
The scene is laid at a fashionable hotel at a sea shore summer resort and among the guests at the hotel are Mr. and Mrs. Fransworth and their daughter Leila, whom they wish to marry to a man whom she has never seen. This man is John Wayne Jr. and the proposed blind matrimonial venture is as distasteful to him as it is to Leila. In order to gain time he brings along to the hotel a friend, one James Wiggins, and in order to postpone the marriage the two men exchange names and their consequent identities.
To complicate matters the true Wayne and Lella fall in love with each other and Wiggins, masquerading under the name of Wayne, falls in love with a friend of Lella's, Jessica Norris. You know the old saying about true love. Well it works out in this case and it is only after many tributations that the various love affairs are worked out so that all parties are satisfied.
SOPHOMORE PARTY ON MAY 3 IN GYM
Hall's Orchestra Will Play But Dancing Must Cease by Midnight
After much uncertainty regarding the date of the sophomore party, Arvid Frank, manager of this affair, stated this morning that arrangements had been made to have it on the evening of May 3 in Robinson gymnasium. In accordance with a previous custom the party will begin at six o'clock. Hall's orchestra of Topeka has been secured to furnish the music.
A recent ruling of the University Council stated that all University buildings must be closed at twelve o'clock, the only exception being in the case of the Junior Prom. A petition was presented to the Council by the manager of the sophomore party in which he asked for an extension of the time limit to 12:30. This was granted. Of course this applies to the time that the lights will be put out and it means that all dancing must cease by midnight.
From thirteen to sixteen days' vacation at Christmas will be given to Wisconsin students in the future, according to a resolution passed by the faculty committee there. But one day is to be given at Thanksgiving instead of the usual two.

POOR RICHARD SAYS
Have you somewhat to do tomor row, do it today.
WHERE STUBBORNNESS IS A VIRTUE
This is the time of year when high hopes die, the dead leaf moves uneasily in the breeze, and the enthusiastic freshman of four months ago withdraws from the University. He follows the line of least resistance; a little discouragement here, lack of a little encouragement there, a few days, a week of cutting classes, and piff! out goes the academic candle that once burned so brightly.
Of course, all these candles did not burn so brightly. Some of the quitters never did boil over with enthusiasm for the printed text. They were either cayled or shanghaied by loving parents into registration; some there are who come to the University because it seems to them to be the next step in their social life. They are not supposed to "stick." Occasionally, and be it said to his ever-lasting glorification, one of this type does see through, but the rule is for them to loiter around until a fraternity pin is or is not forthcoming. Sometimes they last until the registrar takes his pen in hand to write a few lines to let them know that their work is below standard Then they flit.
These random remarks are merely for the privilege of saying that there is virtue in the ability to "stick." The disheartened and discouraged freshman who fights the natural inclination to quit, who refuses to heed the insistent, "What's the use?" wins a greater victory than his roommate on the football than his roommate on the football team that "holds 'em" on the one. It's one case where stubbornness is a virtue.
But we are now concerned here with those students who come to the university with ambition and enthusiasm, worlds of each, and soon drift out and away. And this number is large.
The seniors are handing in their pictures accompanied by write-ups and $1.50 in cash. Let no senior forget that here is a chance to make his reputation.
THE COLLEGE MAN AND POLI- TICS.
A New York editor remarked not long ago that the "mental activity of graduates is doing more for colleges than it was, the muscular proficiency of undergraduates somewhat less." He went on to say that athletics are going to prosper in colleges and the college spirit will continue to be interested in them and crowd to see the games and races. But the mental side will continue to gain weight faster than the athletic side. Cornell is the greatest rowing college in the world, yet the public regards—as it should—rowing as only an incident of life at Cornell. What do you know about the sports of California, Michigan, Virginia or Texas? Yet you are apt to know something of their standing a educational institutions and what men have been trained in them. And as athletics find their level, more and more attention will be paid to college men in public life.
This state of affairs is seen at Kansas. The University has been brought to the public notice as favorably by its young men and women in the political field as has been done by uny undergraduate activity.
And why not the college man in politics? We train men for the army, for the navy, for every other defense of the country; and surely the man who is best trained for politics is the college man, the man who is learned alike in books and men, who can look back through history upon the triumphs and the mistakes of empires that have passed away, the man who has been taught the value of obedience as well as command, and who knows the pleasure of playing a game cleanly and whole-heartedly with a definite goal other than himself.
THANK YOU
The following letter pleased the Daily Kansean more than the appearance of a delinquent subscriber with a load of wood;
to the Editor of the Daily Kansas;
I wish to congratulate the Daily
Kansan upon the great success of its
daily issues, and especially upon its
Lincoln day issue. I understand that this was got out entirely by the student staff without suggestion or oversight on the part of any officer or teachers in the University, and on a day when other students were having a holiday. The issue of such a number will help to impress upon the students of the University the personality and high ideals of our greatest American, will incite them to loyalty to the best traditions of our country, and will assist the University in one of its chief aims—the training of men and women for good citizenship.
I wish to thank the Daily Kansan also for the good that its daily issue is doing the University in making known to the state in a more adequate fashion the spirit and aim of the institution. The paper has always been a great aid and support of the best thought and discipline of the University, and in its daily issue it is fully maintaining its reputation. Let us all together do our best to set and maintain the very best standards of life for the institution we love.
Cordially yours,
Cordially yours,
FRANK STRONG,

AN EDITORIAL BY MR. AESOP
"Tush, child, tush," said the old Frog, "that was only Farmer White's Ox. It isn't so big either; he may be a little taller than I, but I could easily make myself quite as brok; just you see." So he blew himself! He lifted him out, and he left himself out. "Was he as big as that?" asked he.
H FATHER," said a little. Frog to the big one sitting by the side of a pool, "I have seen such a terrible monster! It was as big as a mountain, with horns on its head, and tall tail, and it had hoops divided in two.
along the old one blew himself out,
and big again, young one if the Ox was
as big as the Fox.
"Oh, much bigger than that," said the young Frog.
O
"Bigger, father, bigger," was the reply
STUDENT OPINION
the Frog took a deep breath, and blew and blew and blew, and swelled and swelled and swelled. And then he said: "I'm sure the Ox is not as big as—" But at this moment he burst. Self-conceit may lead to self-destruc-
lead to self-destruction.
WHEN PROFS OFFEND To the Daily Kansan:
The editor is not responsible for the views expressed here. Communications must be signed as an evidence of good faith.
I read with interest your editorial in a recent Kansas, taken from the University of Colorado's Silver and Gold, advocating that students should make less noise in the library. I consider the editorial good and we needed it. It is true that many of the attendants at the library are somewhat regardless of the rights of the rest of us to read in some measure of peace. But I would like to add a little to that editorial and also put it in the form of a kick. Instead of speaking to the students only, why not say "professors and students"? I have been an attendant at the library for some time, and have noticed that the library conduct of the students, as regards communication, is much better than that of most of the professors. Many times have I been deeply absorbed in some book and have had my thoughts and concentration therein shattered by a loud fusillade of words which sounded as if someone had me an old friend on the street. I would look up to see who so rank an offender could be, and behold, nothing could be done, because it was a professor.
I can see no reason why they can be so thoughtless as not to know that such conduct is disturbing. They are no more privileged characters, in the library, than are the students. Nearly every one of them has attended some advanced educational institution, whose library rules do not permit such conduct and that violate these rules there. There are here to teach us what they learned there, and are supposed, to some extent, to set an example.
If the students have such conduct perpetraed upon them by their instructors, how can the students be supposed or expected to regard the libra y rules about conversation as being of any worth?
SPEAKING OF THE DAILY KANSAN
READER.
The University Daily Kansan has been coming to this office regularly since its first publication, January 16. The paper is edited and printed by the students of the University at Princeton and is a work of art in every way.
The University Daily Kansan is a new arrival at the Republican office. It is printed by the University students in Journalism. It is attractive in print and well made up. It has a readable editorial page and a good sense of balance in matter handled is maintained. The editorial page has a tone, an atmosphere that will take hold on the man who has once been in touch with college or student life. Mr. K. U. Kansan, as the old time editor used to say, "Here's our OUR 27"
—Minneapolis Better Way.
A neat daily comes to our desk now. It is the University Daily Kansas, published by the University at Lawrence, a four page six column paper that is a credit to its publishers. Here's to its success.
—Haddam Leader.
A step forward in journalism was taken by the State University last week when the tri-weekly Kanan was converted to a daily. The department of journalism had been contemplating this step for some time and is the bordering states whose universities are issuing daily chronicles of their doings.
There are twenty Kansas boys in the university of Kansas learning to be newspaper men. They have started a daily and have asked the help of the country newspapers by putting them on our exchange list, which we gladly did. They get out a very neat little paper.
Gove County Republican Gazette.
Number 1 of the University Daily Kansan has been received. It is a neat six-column paper, well edited by the class in journalism of the University of Kansas, and gives evidence that there are building some splendid newspaper writers in the class.
—Glasco Sun
If the high standard reached by the first number is maintained throughout, Kansas will have a daily far better than those of many other larger universities — Tulane Weekly.
—Elk Falls Reflector.

The students of the University of Kansas are now getting out a daily newspaper called the University Kansan. There will probably be some fun poked at the student editors by the old timers but they are starting out with a bright new paper that is creditable to Kansas. The University

has over 2,000 students and they ought to support the new daily because it is worth their backing and will be a good thing for the students and the institution.
-McCracken Eclipse.
From a typographical point of view the Daily Kansan is a model of neatness. It contains a vast amount of information of interest to everybody and is deserving of unstinted patronage. We have seen quite a number of papers in this class and we are frank to say that we believe the Daily Kansan easily heads the list. -Downs Times.
It is decidedly the best school paper we have seen. Everyone interested in higher education should subscribe for it. We assure you that you will get your money's worth many times over—Elsmore Leader.
The new daily started by the students of Kansas University shows very clearly that Editor Brady of the Lawrence World was mistaken when he said that the members of the University school of journalism were all journalists. Such a bright, news paper as the students are putting out must have some real newspaper man about the shop.—Chanute Daily Tribune.
The paper is full of good news; much of it will be used over the state and in this manner the University will no doubt receive a lot of good advertising that they did not get before.
The paper is well patronized with advertisting from the Lawrence merchants who realize the value of advertising in the city. This is because by the money spenders of that town.
Take it as a whole, the paper is in line with the average daily paper and it will be welcomed by a score of readers as well as on the exchange tables of the Kansas press. -Junction City Union.
It is a neat, well-arranged and nicely printed newspaper, a careful inspection showing a pleasing absence of typographical errors, so unhappy common in many dailies, and a laudable care in every detail.
We welcome the Kansan as we are greatly interested in K. U. and its success. We have need in Kansas of one great central University, which is one of the best universities in both money and "the better things." The Kansan may be made a potent factor for good to K. U. keeping before the people what the school is doing.
Logan County News.
It is gotten up in a manner that would be a credit to any daily sheet. The subject matter is confined to the doings about the school and events directly concerning it. A neat system of headings is followed and all of the matter shows careful preparation and editing. School papers of this sort are going to do great things for the betterment of the newspaper profession in years to come. —Stafford Courier.
It is a neat clean paper, one that will be read with interest by the students and the friends of the University. It is a great institution and every loyal Kansas should feel proud of it. We well remember our first work on a newspaper. We were a student in college 35 years ago. We prepared an article and when we saw it in print with our name signed to it, we confess that we felt as big and as proud as a Drumheller. We didn't feel that about things today. We learned something by experience that we did not know then. We have learned that to be a journalist and fearlessly stand for the right and the good of the community, the clubs will pile up thick and fast at your door.
Born, January 16th, Lawrence, Kanas, "The University Daily Kansan." It is a healthy looking 'Kid' and "looks so very much like its pa."
Walnut Eagle.
—Formosa New Era.
High grade book paper, such as the Kansas uses, requires exceptional press facilities, which the Kansas apparently has not. —Olathe Register.
It is a neat sheet and is filled with good things to read.
—Altoona Tribune.
K. U. is not to lag behind the other schools of her size that boast a daily. She has long needed it. No longer do we feel ashamed to think of a triweekly Kansan. Prosperity and success to "The Daily Kansan." -Southwestern Collegian.

You've heard of "sleepy old college towns," but after you have seen Lawrence you won't believe there is any such thing. The Lawrence industries--and they are many--are pushing ahead with the same spirit of winning out that the K.U. boys show in a foot-ball game. If you wish to lose interest in progress and the "get there" idea don't live in Lawrence.

JAYHAWKERS MEET PIKEWAY FIVE NEXT
Games Will Probably Settle SouthernDivisionChampionship.
WASHINGTON LOOKS STRONG
Cayou's Men Paused at Columbia Long Enough to Put Missouri Out of The Running.
The battles between Hamilton's Jayhawkers and Cayou's Washington University basket-ball five on Friday and Saturday nights will without doubt settle the championship of the Southern division of the Missouri Valley.
The Washington team has been successful in its valley contests thus far this season. Three times they have defeated the Missouri Tigers and once they were defeated by them.
If dope goes for anything the Pikeways show a little stronger than the Jayhawkers. They defeated the Tigers twice on the St Louis court by scores of 30 to 12 and 31 to 14. On Monday and Tuesday of this week they invaded the Missouri stronghold and succeeded in breaking even in the two games played there. In the first battle the Washington men were far from their stride and the Missourians took them down 17 to 8. In the second contest however Washington played in form and won 19 to 16.
The Pikeway team in the past have been Kansas' strongest opponent in the conference. In 1910 when the K. U. five lacked but one game of being ever victorious in 24 games played it was Washington who spoiled the spotless record by a 16 to 15 victory in St. Louis.
The Kansas team must go into this game to win. The tendency to take it easy that has been noticeable on one or two occasions will have to go to the discard or the Jayhawks will find their chance of Conference championship sadly exploded.

College Students Poor Spellers, Says Doctor Chapin.
New York, Jan. 10."Poor spelling and weakness in the fundamentals are conspicuous in many of our high schools, normal colleges, colleges, universities, technical schools and professional schools, as well as in business life.
"They are the subject of constant and vigorous complaints," said Dr. Charles S. Chapin, principal of the Montclair State Normal School, commenting on the agitation that has resulted from the publication of the report of John P. Murry, a member of the state board of education, in which Mr. Murry condemned the conditions that made it necessary for the two Jersey state normal schools to teach fundamental subjects which should have been taught thoroughly in the grammar schools.

Mat Artists not to Enter Blue Diamond Tournament
The Kansas wrestling team will not enter the A. A. U. Wrestling Tournament to be staged under the auspices of the Kansas City Athletic Club the latter part of March. Invitations were extended to the various schools under the Missouri Valley Conference rules.
The Athletic Board after considering the offer decided that they would not allow the Kansas grapplers to compete as many of the wrestlers entered are practically professionals and it would not be i keeping with other athletic sport to allow these men to endanger their standing.
Arrangements however are being made with several of the Conference schools for staging a dual meet The Kansas grapplers will probably meet those of the University of Missouri sometime in the near future if arrangements can be made.

NO INDOOR TENNIS
TRYOUTS THIS YEAR
Court Sharks Must Wait Till Gentle Spring for Practice
At a meeting of the members of last year's tennis team Monday night it was decided that no indoor tennis tournament would be held this year on account of being unable to secure the gymnasium floor at suitable times. Tennis enthusiasts will have to restrain themselves patiently and wait for warmer weather.
As soon as the weather permits however, an inter-school championship both singles and doubles will be played. All students of the University will be eligible to to tournament and it is intended to reward the winners with silver loving cups. At the conclusion of this tournament a series of eliminator matches to determine the varsity; squad will be played.
The indications are that Kansa will have a strong line up in both the singles and the doubles. Hawes, Richardson, and Nees from last year's team will form the nucleus of the squad, and it is expected that these men along with the new mer tryouts develop will furnish K U. with a winning team.
The team will enter the Inter State meet at Baker and will also compete in the Missouri Valley championship tournament which will be held at Columbia late in the spring.
Kansas in the past four years has held the valley championship three times. Last year they suffered defeat for the title at the hands of the Nebraska players.

Here are shown a full line of samples of the latest styles in coats and suits which were purchased by the manager of the company to add interest for the feminine contingent of playgoers. Inasmuch as these gowns and suits represent the advance fashions for the coming season, they will no doubt attract many ladies to the theater. The role of Bob Blake, the traveling salesman is interpreted by Don MacMillan and the heroine, with whom he falls in love at first sight, is in the hands of Dorothy Grey, an exceedingly pretty and talented actress.

TRACK MEN WANTED TO TRYOUT FOR MEET
Stars of the Cinder Path Slow in Showing up
May Give up Rugby.
The work this week will be confined mostly to dashes and hurdles. All men who have done track work are urged to come out and try for a pace in the meet next Monday night.
Tryouts for the track meet with Baker next Monday night are being held every day in Robinson gymnasium under the direction of W. O. Hamilton. At present the men are turning out very poorly and it has been impossible to pick the men who will enter in the meet. During the last week long distance work has been mostly emphasized. The men in the respective cases below named have qualified: One mile - Fischer Murray, Patterson, Van Dola, Stark Hartman, and Brown. The fastest time was 4:50 3-5. This is exceedingly good for an indoor track.
In the quarter mile Fairchild,
Black, G. Smith and Davis have run.
The best time in this event was 59
The following scores were made in
the half mile: Murray 2:16; R. C
Davis 2:20; Patterson 2:11; Van
Dola 2:20; Hartman 2:24, Milligan
2:44, Perry 2:26.
"It is absolutely impossible at the present time to pick the men who will represent the University in the meet with Baker," said Coach Hamilton this morning. "The men have not come out as I expected at all."
The Daily Maroon, the student publication of the University of Chicago, published the following statement as a news item in a recent issue: "Graduates of the Universities of California and Leland Stanford have reached the conclusion that rugby football is inferior to the American kind, and have taken steps to have the latter reinstated."

BANQUET DISPELLED ALL PHARMIC CARES
Medicine Waxed Eloquent as Wee Sma' Hours Approached
H. W. EMERSON TOASTMASTEP
Seventy Men Heard M. P. Gould and Thirteen Others at Eldridge House Last Night.
Those who attended the Pharmic banquet at the Eldridge house last night departed at a late hour in full possession of a memory of a mighty good time. Every thing ran smoothly and the affair reflects great credit on the managers and the School of Pharmacy, while the Master was all good, and Prof. Herbert W. Emerson as toastmaster, departed agreeably from the "We have with us tonight" and so forth.
Dean Sayre responded to the toast,
"On with the Feast." When he spoke of Dr. Crumbine as the common chasier of the state, and of the Cancellor 'sa one whom we love,
honor, trust and try to obey,' he was interrupted by a round of hand-clapping.
Smokes in Latin
Dr. Francis Talks
When the feasters had progressed down to the cigars, or as the menu cards put it, to "Foliarum tobacei et fustium parvorum hades," Mr Carpenter spoke for the Seniors. His talk abounded with amusing anecdotes and he urged the graduates who were going out into the state to go with a determination to make good and to be a credit to the university.
The Toastmaster next introduced Chancellor Strong who talked briefly on the relation of the School of Pharmacy to the University, asking loyalty not only to their department in it, but to the Institution which gives life to all the schools.
Professor Emerson introduced Dr. J. M. Francis of Detroit as a part of a great octopus that stretches over all the world. Dr. Francis' toast was on "The Aristocracy of the Manufacturer." He answered his own question, "Why is the manufacturing Pharmacist?" by comparing that business with business in other lines. "Thirty years ago there were cows on the people market," he said. In those days we made pills by hand. Now there are great creatures, and there are great pharmaceutical manufacturers for the same reason.
Prof. L. D. Havenhill had the "Perplexities of the Analyst" for a subject. He spoke briefly on a few serious problems which were confronting the analysts.
The Seductive Jobber
H. D. Faxon, of the Faxon-Gallagher Drug Co. of Kansas City, talked on "The Seductive Jobber." He spoke of business as service, and of the time when he expected to see service, business and religion closely related.
Professor Emerson then introduced Dr. Parsons who talked on "New Remedies." Dr. Parsons spoke very briefly saying that after looking the Kansas people over he did not think he would be able to help. He added that he would recommend as a new remedy to the Eastern men, a visit to Kansas.
Professor C. M. Sterling had a difficult subject in "Cross Section." The main point that he brought out in his paper is essentially an age of specialization.
Dr. F. B. Dains spoke on "Health by Synthesis." "The time is coming," he said, "when only definite synthetic products will be used. And it rests on the pharmacists themselves to see that they are used."
Address on Advertising
Mr. Gould's address on "Advertising" was flavored all the way through with amusing stories and the substance of what he said was always made clearer by them. "The great problem of the pharmacist today," said Mr. Gould, "is not to fill prescriptions but to get prescriptions. It is a foregone conclusion that you can fill them." Mr. Gould spoke of the growing relations between the employer and the employee and how the wise employee of today tried to make the employee feel himself a part of the business
He outlined the problems of the em-ployers, two of them being to keep a store to back up advertising and to back up employees.
"Advertise your kind of a store," said Mr. Gould, "your individual store. Compare what you have with what others have and advertise accordingly. A man is nothing more than an advertisement." Advertise something, he hasn't, "get it."
Two Unpardonable Sins—Two
Dr. S. J. Crumbine had "The Chic of the Holidayup" for the subject of his toast. He referred to the alleged hold ups as being beneficent hold ups at the least. He said that their investigations for the enforcement of the Kansas Pure Food and Drug Act were not so much to make prosecutions, as to get information about actual conditions. He spoke of two unpardonable sins, substitution and dirt.
Prof. G. M. Watson toasted the "Pharmacy Football Team." He spoke of the team of the team and of the 'team that is to be, and of the hopes of the Pharmics of being able to train and coach a team in proper fashion.
Delmar M. Buckley gave an address of welcome from the juniors after which W. S. Dick of Lawrence talked. Three alumni of the School of Pharmacy, Mr. Tilford, Mr. Wilson, and Mr. Amos, responded with interesting talks.
Those Present
The following were present: Amos Tilford, H. D. Faxon, and J. Parsons of Kansas City, M. P. Gould, of New York, Dr. J. M. Francis of Detroit, R. S. Herman, and J. H. Snapp of Olathe, Chancellor Frank Strong, Prof. H. W. Emerson, Dean L. E. Sayre, Dr. S. J. Crumbine Prof. G. N. Watson, Prof. C. M. Sterling, Prof. L. D. Havenhill, Prof. F. Baines, Prof. C. A.

ARE WE A SORDID RACE OF MONEY--GRUBBERS?
Professor Wuerpel, of St Louis, Explained American Disregard for Art
Mr. Wuerpel said that European despise us to just the extent that we are anxious to earn money, and not know how to spend it profitably.
"The American people should let the beautiful, in art, the beautiful in nature and the beautiful in human life, play a more prominent part in their lives," said Prof. E. H. Wuerp, director of the St. Louis Art Institute in a chapel address this morning.
The idea which many students, as well as older people, seem to have, that society owes them something is erroneous, according to Mr Wuerpel. "You owe society as much as society owes you, and possibly much more," he said, "don't get the idea that the world is your debtor."
SPOTTS BACK FROM "SHORT GRASS" LAND
Finds Enthusiasm over Work of University Extension Department.
"Mr. Morgan's art collection in New York City will force certain students in Europe to come to this country to study. This collection, as well as others recently brought to this country, should encourage interest in such exhibits in America."
"Lack of reverence among some Americans is astonishing. There are children who have no reverence for their parents, or for their elders or for anybody else. If they could understand that which is more beautiful than anything else,—beauty of character—a wholesome respect and reverence would naturally follow."
PACKAGE LIBRARIES ARE USED
WILL HOLD FIRST PRACTICE SATURDAY
High School Debating Also Popula Tho' Distance Prevents Membership in State League.
Ralph Spotts, traveling organizer of the University Extension department, returned last night from a trip through the southwestern part of Kansas.
"The people in this section of the state are deeply interested in the extension work," said Mr. Spotts "and the package libraries are proving exceptionally popular."
The package libraries consist of a collection of books, addresses, laws, bulletins, pamphlets, circulars, and other information obtainable covering a large field of knowledge, that would be interesting to the average citizen. The list of subjects includes: the parcels post, milk supply, income tax, advertising, athletics, child labor, commerce, tuberculosis, postal savings banks, phones, slums, theaters, factory fired boy scouts, Mormonism, play grounds, woman suffrage, juvenile courts, prohibition, electricity, and the American opera.
The stereotype views that are being used by the high schools are receiving much attention and some schools secure the views although they do not have proper and adequate means for displaying them.
"The high schools are contracting the debating habit," continued Mr. Spotts, "and weekly contests are held in many high schools. Although only a few of the schools in the western part of the state have joined the state debating league owing to the distance from Lawrence, many have joined local societies, and inter-county and intersociety debates are of frequent occurrence.
"Several persons from the southwestern part of the state are enrolled in the correspondence courses of fered by the University."

WANT SPACE IN JAYHAWKER
Sixty Young Women Have Been Given the Gymnasium for Regular Work Every Saturday
Called to order by a referee's whistle, the Women's Athletic Association of the University of Kansas assembled yesterday afternoon in Robinson gymnasium for the first regular meeting. Over sixty members were present.
The constitution was read by Amarynthia Smith, president of the association, and adopted by the members. The purpose of the organization, according to the constitution, is to further all athletic interests among the women of the University. All women students and women of the faculty are eligible for membership. An annual fee or fifty cents entitles the members to admission to the matched games.
New Offices Created
It was found necessary to divide the duties of secretary and treasurer, and Marion Manley was elected secretary. Mary Reding is treasurer. A student advisory committee will be appointed consisting of four members, one from each class, in addition to the members of the faculty who are: Dr. Margaree Johnson, Nell Martindalea, Rose Abbott, and Gladys Elliott. The members of the executive committee are: the officers of the association; Amarynthia Smith, president; Catherine Stubbs, vice-president; Marior Manley, secretary; Mary Reding, treasurer, and the captains of the teams, Bernice Schultz of the Crimson and Frederika Hodder of the Blues.
New officers will be elected in May to serve during the ensuing year.
Will Use Gymnasium
Nell Martindale is general manager of sports, and Rose Abbott is coach. A manager will be elected for each sport—basket-ball, tennis, volleyball, soccer, indoor baseball, swimming and track. The tennis courts will be laid-out next month Dr. Naismith and Coach Hamilton have offered the association the use of the gymnasium on Saturday morning. Every member is to report Saturday morning February 17 at 10 o'clock, for basket-ball, indoor baseball, volleyball and track.
Coach Hamilton, is a member of the association, having paid his dues cheerfully and promptly.
Three pictures will be taken for the Jayhawker. Officers and members of the teams meet at Squire's on Wednesday, at 12:30.
Pictures in Jayhawker
"The Jayhawk last year had at least fifteen paveres devoted to men's athletics and one page to women's athletics," said Smith, "and that page was a cartoon.
WILL LECTURE ON HEREDITY
"We wouldn't mind the cartoon so much," she said, "if there had bee anything else. But there wasn't an other thing about women's athletics This year we hope to change al that and make a good showing in the Jayhawk."
Professor Johannsen, Danish Scient ist, Will be Here Monday
Prof. W. Johannsen, of the University of Copenhagen, Denmark will deliver a lecture on "Heredity" Monday afternoon in the lecture room of Snow hall, at 2:30.
Send the Daily Kansan home.
Professor Johannsen has been in this country only a short time and he made the trip across the Atlantic for the purpose of investigating the work that is being done in evolution by the experiment stations in the United States.
Jim Smith, '11, is visiting at the Beta Theta Pi house.
The Weather.
Mr. Thermometer and Mr. Barometer gave out the report today that the weather would be unsettled tonight and Saturday with possibly a rain. Mr. Thermometer, as an afterthought, said that there would not be much change in temperature.
CUT IT OUT
The president of Cornell has forbidden the publication of liquor advertisements in college papers. Just for the looks of the thing, of course, but he should take the action, if it be necessary. It shouldn't — Indiana Student.
Wouldn't be a bad idea to follow the lead of the University Daily Kansan and cut out the cigarette advertising too.
THE CRITICS DID NOT APPRECIATE THEM
Value of Whistler's Pictures Not Realized at Time of Painting.
"Free, who has the largest and best collection of Whistler's paintings in existence is such an enthusiast over the painter that he procured every work of the artist he could possibly secure. Some of these show the poorest work of Whister and are ones that will prove to him that at least his death, as was his intention because he did not think they were perfect enough to send out."
The talk on "Whister, the Painter," given last night in the chapel by Edmund H. Wuerpel of St. Louis was attended by only a few people. The first part of the address was a lecture while the latter part was illustrated with lantern slides of the different paintings discussed by the speaker. Whisper is especially notate here as this slide shows this lantern slides could not fully show the ideas that Mr. Wuerpel wished to bring out.
"Many of Whistler's paintings," Wuerpel said, "were not appreciated by the critics who saw them. This did not disturb Whistler, for he appreciated them and that was enough for him. The critics also thought that some of the paintings were not finished, but Whistler maintained they were.
Mr. Wuerel spoke in chapel this afternoon at 4:30.
DEBATING CLUB STAGES
WEEKLY FORENSIC STUNT
W. T. Griffin, R. R. Fisher and H. Probst acted as judges. Their decision was two to one in favor of the affirmative. Prof. G. A. Gessell criticized the debate and gave the boys many valuable suggestions for improvement. After the debate: business meeting was held.
The doctrine of municipal ownership of public utilities was successfully advanced at a well attended meeting of the K. U. Debtoring society last night. The question was: Resolved: that the cities of Kansas should own and operate their own lighting systems and repair their works; represented by F. L. Carson, H. E. Robinson and M. B. Modington, and Asher Hobson R. D. Woolery and Herbert Flint were the opposing debaters.
The club will meet next Friday evening at 7:45 o'clock, in 501 Fraser hall. Two debates will be held

The merchants who put their advertising in the Kansan know that students, like other people, read the publicity news as eagerly as they read any part of the paper. They have money to spend and they are interested in finding out the most attractive and advantageous way to spend it. But in addition to this the merchant knows that besides reading his advertisement the students appreciate it as a mark of confidence in their paper, the paper that represents their point of view, and in the success of which they are personally interested you.

THE SOUTH IS PROUD OF C. ALPHONSO SMITH
Edgar Allen Poe Professor offered Presidency at Many Southern Universities
GIVES FIVE LECTURES HERE
Is Recognized as a Foremost Authority on Modern English Literature.
"Prof. C. Alphonso Smith, who begins a series of lectures at the University Monday, is," says Dean Johnston, "the most popular productive scholar and orator in the south. This is illustrated by the fact that he has been called to the presidency of so many Southern Universities, notably: The University of Alabama and the University of Tennessee. Columbia University has also recently awarded him the third Roosevelt Professorship."
Professor Smith is the head of the movement to conserve the Literary and Historical traditions of the South. His breadth of view is well illustrated by an incident in connection with this movement. When acting as chairman of the committee, to award prizes for the best production on Southern history and institutions, he was influential in giving a Northern student the first place, in spite of the fact that the thesis embodied some severe criticisms of certain delicate Southern ideals. He was upbraided by the people of the South and his reply to them has become almost classic.
Five Lectures
His lecture Monday on "The American Short Story" should be especially valuable to the students who are interested in English composition. Tuesday's talk, "American Humor," is the one which received so much praise from the Kaiser and the German people in Berlin.
"Idealism in American Literature," Wednesday's subject should appeal to all literature students. On the topics chosen for Thursday and Friday, Professor Smith is perhaps better prepared to talk than any other man. The subject for Thursday is "Joel Chandler Harris, or The Negro as Literary Material," and that for Friday is, "Edgar Allan Poe."

POOR RICHARD SAYS:
Handle your tools without mittens the cat in gloves catches no mice.
THERE'S A REASON
We wouldn't want it generally known, but we are inclined to believe that there's a reason, as our friend Post says, why Washington State co-eds, who show ability along athletic lines, are granted the college letter as a reward for their services.
You know, Washington is a great state for the ladies, and if any University man takes his wife to Washington he will find that she will have as much to say about taxes, and the tariff, and Schedule K as he has For in Washington they have woman suffrage.
What is it that has secured woman the right to vote? It is the initiative that she has taken to secure this right, and when the initiative has been forceful enough and conditions are not too adverse, she has gained the franchise.
And we have a suspicion that it is this same zeal that secured the right to vote that made the Washington girls demand the right to wear their university letter.
Here's a hint, women of the University. Take a tip from your sisters in the West. You have organized an Athletic Association and you have a woman's suffrage league. If you wish to wear the University "K," now is the time to assert the qualities of the suffragette and demand the letter.
SOME FIBS THAT ARE TOLD
"Of course I wouldn't join. I belong to too many things now."
"John Doe has withdrawn from the University and will assist his father in the bank until school opens next fall."
"You article was extremely good, Mr. Bingledorf, but a trifle too long for us to use."
"Not prepared today, professor My cousin from home is visiting me."
"Just came home from church and before commencing to study ———" (Used exclusively in letters to the home folks).
SERENADERS
The serenade has become such a part of college life that to do with it would seem a death-blow to all "the good old times" that are to be so fondly cherished. Yet when analyzed, one would question the in-
"Just came home from church—During the spring nights an entertainment of this sort is a pleasure not only to those who receive but to those who give. Sometimes ever then it is overdone. One night last spring the throats of all the young Romeos must have been affected with the germ, for by actual count there were six performances. The
first two or three were highly enjoy able but the last few agonizing, according to later information, partly because of the early hour and partly for the thought of the "eight o'clock" next morning.
Serenades in winter are as bad as a mother-in-law on the honeymoon; they remind one of the stories of Jack London where the four-footed hero gets out in a clear patch of snow and moonlight and serenades the aurora borealis. To pet out of a warm bed at some creepy hour and applaud an indifferently rendered harmony would tax anyone let alone a poor over "rushed" Co-ed.
It might be a good thing to pass some sort of legislation regulating these; first have an "open season" (spring) and next week-night rules with some sort of automatic register whereby one band of bards could tell what places had already been visited, thereby enabling the recipients to get more rest and assuring a more hearty welcome at some other House, hitherto unvisited, for the entertainers.
WHAT'S IN A NAME?
A bas to the Sophomore Party. Never again will we inveigle a coed into allowing us the pleasure of her company for such a Prom, for an edict of the University Council puts the taboo on the Prom suffix and makes the affair now a Sophomore Party—with emphasis on the Party. But we suppose it is all right, and we are not losing much sleep over the change, for what's in a name anyway? A Prom by any other name spells a good time just the same. The main idea with us is to have a party of some kind when we can put on our best bib and tucker and do a little butterflying ourselves.
Whether they call it a prom or a party makes no real difference. What is wanted is the same good time of previous years.
ADVANCE INFORMATION
ADVANCE INFORMATION It is asserted that of 680 young women taking a domestic science course at the Kansas State Agricultural college, 210 are engaged to be married.—Wellington Monitor Press.
That's getting next to a fairly large number of heart secrets. Wonder how Brother Dillon did it.
TAINTED SPEECH
Much is said in these days about tainted food, and a greater knowledge of the noxious character of these tainted foods doubtless has added to our dread. Pure food laws have, and the placing of illumination, and the products upon illumination, has been forbidden.
The ancients were not unfamiliar with the fact that substances become putrid. St. Paul found a Greek word with such a meaning, and he defined "corrupt speech" as words which have become tainted. How much of the speech we hear is tainted? How many irreverent words are uttered? How much of the conversation profane may carry with them distinct taint of insincerity. Even good words may be used in such a manner as to carry a taint with them.
Profanity is the cheapest and most utterly senseless of vices, and the student who indulges in it is cheap indeed. It was Emerson who remarked that profanity is a proof of mental poverty, of a scant, insufficient vocabulary and a sad lack of culture. But it is not confined to the poor, the vicious and the illiterate; the better class of society and cultured students are just as guilty. Profanity, without sense or reason but just for swearing's purpose, is the beast of our moral failings. What respect can a man expect who cheapshek his manhood by the use of impure speech? Fresh, pure speech is just as necessary to the moral life as fresh, pure food is to the physical life.
AN EDITORIAL BY MR. AESOP
—Syracuse Daily Orange.
A SERPENT in the course of his wanderings came into an armourer's shop. As he glided over the floor he felt his skin peaked by a file lying there. In a rage he knelt down and slapped dart his fingers into it; but he could do no harm to heavy iron and had soon to give over his wrath.
STUDENT OPINION
It is useless attacking the insensible
A GOOD IDEA To the Daily Kansan:
The editor is not responsible for the clauses expressed. Communication must be signed as an acknowledgment.
Is it not with a feeling of irritation even akin to wrathful resentment when you flop into your seat in the classroom in the Administration building at 9:08, to have the professor quietly remark that he doesn't particularly like students as lute ones in awake but he hakes to see it occur as a regular habit.
The class you had previously attended in Fraser Hall was interesting, it must be admitted, and the professor inadvertently held it until 9:03 instead of dismissing at 8:55. By the time you drew on your overcoat and scampered down the stairs quickly peopled walk you were hopelessly, lamentably, inexcess late.
The fault was not yours nor the professor's. It was because there is no reliable alarm for dismissing classes. The bells ring on occasions when the weather is nice or during chapel hour to ensure no one pays any attention to them.
Why would it not be a good plan to supply the chief engineer with a reliable timepiece and invigle him into blowing the whistle at the time classes should be dismissed? Then if anyone was to blame for being late it would be the student. R. S.
STRAIGHT AND NARROW PATH
To the Daily Kansan:
Since the Administration building has been opened it has been manifest that the walk running west past Snow Hall and on toward the Engineering building is entirely too narrow. Especially in this true when there is snow on the ground. It is extremely irritating when in a hurry to reach the class of an exacting professor on time, to have a whole string of slow moving snails retarding your progress. The only way to get past them is to jump in the snow and flounder along until you get to your desired destination. This is likewise true when meeting others coming from the opposite direction.
Girls (no, I'm not a girl hair) seem to delight in sweeping down that walk in broadsides of three wide and twenty deep and when they see a mere male student, continue on their gladstone, or possibly even "gladdomer" way and allow him to spoil his recent shine in a dress. They are the side of the problem; are two ways to solve the problem: Make a wider walk or instil into the students' mind that two abreast is necessary for convenience to all concerned. PUDDLE
WANTS TO SWIM
To The Daily Kansan: I'm a coed- but mayn't I object once in a while, please? You know the girls are given two after-noms, Monday and Thursday, to go swimming. (Perhaps you have noticed that many of them hurry hardy in past years.)
We have wandered gymward eight times this year in hopes of a glorious swim. Eight times we have met a locked door,—though the water called to us through the keyhole. If one is really half mermaid the effect of an island swimming would be to uptake the pool today" or "if you will wait until 4:34 o'clock we will see what we can do about it" fairly makes our fins stand on edge.
What was the nice white pool with a blue stripe made for if not to swim in on Mondays and Tuesdays?
Many years ago in the ante-bellum days there was initiated into the University of Virginia the first formal code for an honor system in an American college and its students were intrusted with all the rights and duties of self-government. As is well known this university was founded by Thomas Jefferson who infused it into the spirit of liberty and equality which is known the United States over as the Jeffersonian Democracy. A prominent writer in discussing the results says: "No element in the education finished by the University has been more important than the rebuilding of students in the principles and practice of a democratic society. One of the most characteristic and inspiring features of the life there is the confidence reposed by the faculty in the students, and the respect paid by the students to the faculty. The relations between the two bodies are delightfully free, cordial and courteous."
It is easy to understand why southern colleges should have been the natural home of the honor system. This does not mean that the ethical code of northern students is inferior to that of southern students, but merely that the cherished traditions of the South have made it the most natural harbor. The southern college is not so badly infested with that money-mad materialistic manner of living which has been so marked in the north. This is also

IF
If you can keep your head when all about you.
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you.
If you can trust yourself when all me doubt you.
But make allowance too.
If you can wait, and not to wait,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating;
And you don't look too good or talk too wise.
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master:
If you can think and not make thoughts your aim.
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster;
And treat those two impostors just the same:
If you can hear to hear the truth you spoken
Twisted by knives to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken.
And start and build up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winsin-
and risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toos.
And you, and start again at your beginnings.
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and snew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you.
Except that Will that says to them "Hold on!"
If you talk with crowds and keep your virtue.
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the com-
motion, but neither. If you can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute.
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the earth and everything
and which is more—will be a man
that's in it,
And—which is more--you'll be a man

my son!
the reason that the honor system should be still more generally adopted in the South, for it is the one best way of instilling into our college men and women—the future leaders of the Southland—the principles of just living and love of the right. The honor system in college is merely an application of the standards which Washington and Jefferson and Lee stood for in political life. Can it be said that such standards are too antiquated and simple for a twentieth century college? Not for a minute should anyone think so, for the honor system is not a fad or fancy of the past, it is a living fact.
The originating in the South it has not stayed below the Mason and Dixon line. Cornell, Amherst, Williams and other northern colleges have adopted it. At Princeton it has given perfect satisfaction for many years. Nor is it confined to other small or large colleges. Many minor institutions declare best universities numbers bespeak its blessings. In none is it said to be perfect—man-made plans could not be expected to be so—but in most all cases it has bettered the conditions existing under the old regime.

COURSE IN NUTRITION
The subject of nutrition will be universally studied in higher institutions of learning in a quarter of a century hence, Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, the pure food expert of the Department of Agriculture, predicts. Scarcely a college in the world today treats the question of what the eating of pure and wholesome food can do for the prevention anemia. This is no accident Dr. Wiley. This will be changed, however, he declares, and "with twenty-five years a chair dealing with this subject will be established in colleges throughout the world."

O YET WE TRUST THAT SOME
HOW GOOD
That nothing walks with aimless feet.
That not one life shall be destroyed,
Or cast as rubbish to the void,
When God hath made the pile complete.
O yet we trust that somehow good Will be the final goal of ill,
To pangs of nature, ans or will,
Defects of doubt, and tants of blood
That not a worm is cloven in vain;
That not a womb with coat deers;
That not a moth with vain desire
is shrivelled in a fruitless fire,
Or but subserves another's gain.
Behold, we know not anything;
I can but trust that good shall fall
At last—far off—at last, to all,
And every winter change to spring
So runs my dream: but what am I?
An infant crying in the night;
An infant crying in the day;
And with no language but a cry.

TEACH TEACHERS BY TEACHING TO TEACH
School of Education Getting Practical Results From Its High School
TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE
Pupils are Graduated from High While Students are Graduated From University.
Twenty-five students in the School of Education are receiving practical training in teaching in Oread high school. Of this number only two are men, A. F. Beal, a graduate student who is teaching Physics, and T. L. Bouse, also a graduate student who is teaching a class in Algebra.
The students teach the classes daily for the nine weeks of this quarter and then another group will teach for the remaining quarter of the year. This has been changed in some cases by dividing the classes into two and three hour sections with each student teaching a section for the full semester. This system has been enhanced by dividing the work into three recitations a week of literature and two of Rhetoric, and in the Physiology and Home Economics classes by dividing the work into laboratory and recitation classes.
Enrollment of Eighty.
The enrollment of the school is about eighty which is practically the same number as were enrolled during the first semester, although there are many new students who have not been in the school before. These newly enrolled students taken the place of the twenty-fourth grade, that is, those who have successfully made up all work in which they were deficient in entrance requirements in the University, and so now are enrolled in the College or one of the other schools.
Those in Charge.
Those who have charge of the classes and their subjects are: English I, Anna Manley; English II, Jeannene Spalding for Rhetoric and Bertha Dack for Literature; English III, Elizabeth Heavy for Literature and Carrie Morris for rhetoric; and English IV, Ethel Steven for the first quarter and Bertha Hull for the last quarter. Irene Garnett has charge of first year German and Mildred Manley of second year German. In Latin Donna Rose and Mary Ise each have a class in Ciero; Madge Carmichael has the class in Caesar and Myra Rogers, the beginners. In Mathematics Mary Johnston has Elementary Algebra, Vee Flinn, PlaneGeometry. Ethile Stone teaches Roman and Nell Martindale English History. Myrtle Ferguson is in charge of the recitation class of Physiology and Irma Goldman of the laboratory section;

FORMER STUDENT AN AUTHORITY ON BREAD
Henry A. Kohman, '11. Has Article on Salt-Rising Variety .
"Salt Rising Bread and Some Comparisons with Bread Made with Yeast" is the title of an article by Henry A. Kohman, '11, just ended in the February number of the Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry. Mr. Kohman, at present, holds a fellowship in the University of Pittsburg on the subject of break making. He was graduated with a doctor's degree from the University of Kansas last year. He also held an industrial fellowship here last year and it was while working in this capacity that he obtained the greater part of the data for his article.
THE INNES STORE located in the heart of the shopping district in Lawrence.
Mr. Kohman's work deals especially with the manufacture of salt rising bread, and describes in detail the isolation of certain bacteria from the substance of the bread. The article is valuable for use in the Home Economics department and already calls have been received in regard to obtaining the data set forth. The article appeared in two installments, the first part in the January issue and the second part in the February issue of the Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry.
Our main object in advertising in the Kansan is that we believe in publicity. We believe in telling the faculty as well as the students of K.U. that right here in Lawrence they have a 20th century dry goods store, equipped in every department with 1912 merchandise upon which they can positively rely in every particular.
The University of Alabama is receiving more liberal appropriations from the legislature, receiving $300,000 for building and equipment at the last session.

Washington's Birthday, February 22
YOU remember, maybe, that story about Mark Twain, who said he was a bigger man than George Washington; because while George "couldn't tell a lie,"Mark could but wouldn't.
Washington's fame is secure because he did what he thought was best for all; and his judgment was good; personal profit or advantage didn't sway him.

LAST HOME GAMES PLAYED THIS WEEK
Two Washington Contests Will Close the Local Basket Ball Season
DOPE POINTS TO HARD BATTLE
Coach Fields of Tigers Predicts Jay hawker Victory—Games at Columbia Were Rough
Tenight and tomorrow night will be the last chance to see the 1912 basketball Jayhawkers in action. The games with Washington University are the finals on the home court for the Hamilton squad.
The Kansas team should win both games from Washington this week. Hamilton expects that they will turn the trick and those who have seen both teams work say that the Jayhawks have the shade. After the Missouri-Washington games the early part of the week Coach Fields of the Tigers predicted a Kansas victory.
The Washington team team while it has but one man, Captain Falvey, who was a regular on the team last year is strong in men who have had long basket-ball experience. Brightfield and Berrryhill are old stars who played together for several years in St. Louis before they began attendance at Washington U. Conrad and Gray were the men who defeated Missouri at Columbia Tuesday night. Their playing in the second half enabled their team to overcome a 9 to 3 lead gained by Missouri in the first half and two shots by Conrad in the last minutes of play landed the Pikewaves in first place with a 19 to 16 count.
The accounts of the games at Missouri between the Tigers and the Washington team say that the contests were the nearest to a return to the good old rough and tumble that was ever exhibited in Rothwel gymnasium.
Kansas should have a championship basketball team. Every man or the squad is a basket-ball player of ability. There seems to be a lack of team work, however, that the boys should not show at this time. This may be due to the fact that there are few veteran players on the team to steady it down when the occasional periods of ballooning occur.
The team will have to travel tonight but if they play in form and work hard in the first half they should win by a good margin.

REGENT TO SPEAK IN EASTERN UNIVERSITIES
William Allen Whiteto Meet Students at Harvard and Indiana
Paola High School, Feb. 14.—(By George F. Miller, Special Correspondent)—Twenty high schools of the Second District will take part in a basket ball tournament at Iola and Paola February 23 and 24 the northern half of the district at Paola and the southern half at Iola. The winner of these tournaments will continue to participate in the State championship. The State championship contest will be held at Emporia March 7 and 8.
William Allen White regent of the University of Kansas, left yesterday for a 3-week trip to the East.

The play is a humorous exposition of the life of a modern drummer, a character which every man, woman, and child in this country seems familiar. His ability to express his ability has been engaged to interpret the various characters.

Track Season Will Open in Robinson Gymnasium February 19
MEET A COMPETITIVE TRYOUT
PUPILS CELEBRATE PASSING OF BONDS
New Men Will Try For Places Left Open by Graduation of Old Stars.
The meet is intended for a tryout of the material in both schools, and the respective coaches will be enabled to get a definite line on the performances of the new men in actual competition.
The men who have been working on the indoor track for the past month will have their first chance in actual competition for this year when they meet Coach Scherer's Methodists Monday night in the first track meet of the 1912 season in Robinson gymnasium.
There will be several of the regular University squad who will not compete Monday night as they have not been able to work out regularly for a long enough time to get into shape for the meet. These men are old performers, however, and will not miss the experience to be gained. Their places will be filled by the new men who will be benefited by taking part in competitive meet against another school.
The Kansas team will have seven places to fill that have been left vacant by the graduation of the men who competed for the University in events for the past two or three years. Osborne who was expected to win the valley contests in the two mile this year suddenly left the University in January and at the same time left a big hole in the distance squad of the track man. Bob Roberts, the most dependable spinterter graduated last spring, leaving the team without a tried man in the dashes.
The Baker team this year show stronger on paper than it has at any time since the annual indoor meet was instituted. The Methodists have practically the same team that won the Kansas State championship last spring at Emporia. Only three, men of the victorious Baker队 failed to return this year and Coach Scherer, therefore, feels that he can give the Jayhawkers a good run.

KANSAS IS FOREMOST IN HIGHER EDUCATION
Has More College Students Per Capita Than Any Other State
IS THE WEST MORE POLISHED?
Missouri and Pennsylvania Vie For
Honors at the Foot of
The List.
Where is the real home of the college student? Scholastic Massachusetts? Literary Indiana? Wealthy New York? Come again. Give it up? Well, it's right here in Kansas. This state has more colleges and universities students enrolled, per capita than any other.
We have also more colleges of ove. 2000 enrollment forour population than any commonwealth. We have three of these big schools, the state University, the Agricultural College and the State Normal. If the State Normal, the Agricultural College and the University were all included in one school as the case with most of the large western-state universities, the University of Kansas would be the largest educational institution in the United States, with an enrollment of over 7000.
The state of Kansas sends one of its young people to college for every 112 of its inhabitants. This figure is unapproached anywhere in the east. Only western states, Nebraska with one in 135 and Oregon with one in 150, are at all comparably favorable to university education. Indiana is the besteducated eastern state, with one college student out of 163.
Missouri has fewer university students for its population than any other commonwealth, only one in 381. Pennsylvania is the next contestant for this doubtful honor, having one university student for every 308 inhabitants.

Send the Daily Kansan home.
Professor Hoad May Introduce Oklahoma City Plan into Kansas.
DANGER DOWN TO MINIMUM
After Investigation of Electrolytic Method, He Wishes to Use it in Kansas River Valleys.
Prof. W. C. Hoad, of the School of Engineering, returned this morning from Oklahoma City, where he has been making a thorough investigation of that city's electrolytic sewage disposal process. The electric sewage plant at Oklahoma City is the only one of its kind in operation in this part of the country.
Professor Hoad's visit was in view of studying the plant and to en-
burge its adoption in this state.
"The matter of protecting water supplies is one of the biggest problems we have before us," said Professor Hoad. "The value of treating sewage by electricity lies in the fact that by killing all the disease germs in sewage, it reduces to a minimum the danger to water supplies farther down the stream.
"There are a number of places in Kansas where such plants could profitably be installed, and the chances seem very favorable that two or three plants will be built within a short time.
ESTA BASTANTE FRIA
EL AGUA? SI SENOR
"The condition of the Neosho, the Verdigris, the Walnut and Marais des Cygnes rivers is the worst in this state. Sewage is discharged into these streams without any adequate purification. A careful study of the towns lying in these river valleys has been made and the real conditions are known to be very bad."
The process as applied at Oklahoma city passes a heavy current at a low voltage through the sewage. The electricity decomposes the water in the sewage to the two gases hydrogen and oxygen
GOULD TELLS HOW IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE
Mr. M. P. Gould, president of the M. P. Gould Advertising Company, addressed the classes in Advertising, Economics, and Pharmacy Friday afternoon at 4:30 on the subject, "Advertising, an Expense or an Investment, Which?" Mr. Gould showed by statistics that the amount spent annually for advertising is sufficient to fill seventy five super-dreadnoughts the size of the Delaware, about seven times as much as our annual pension appropriation.

"Retailer's advertising," said Mr. Gould, "becomes an investment in seven different ways; it increases the efficiency of the clerks, it helps to keep them busy a greater part of their working day, it increases the general knowledge of the store among the public at large, it makes the store better known by customers, and it outputs, thereby enabling him to buy more and at better terms, and, by making the store well known, it brings to him, much of the indirect trade."

The Spanish play "Zaragueta," to be given by the Spanish students in Robinson gymnasium on April 27, abounds with humorous situations.

For most part every one is in a good humor. Zaragueta becomes peevish at times, while the rest of the characters do a lot of worrying, and that is where the fun comes in.
Touches Uncle For Money
The plot of the comedy rests upon the fact that Carlos, a student in Madrid, owes money to Zaragueta and is unable to pay it. Carlos writes to his uncle, Don Indalecio, saying that he is very ill and must go to Paris for an operation. He intends to use the funds to pay Zaragueta, and when he arrives at his uncle's house, he confesses his straits to his cousin, Maruja, who agrees to help him.
Carlos has hardly arrived when Zaragueta turns up. Murauja understands who he is and despairs of Carlos' trick being successful until she learns that Zaraguetta is very deaf; she uses this defect to advance himself in life as the door who had been attending Carlos in Madrid.
Carlos and Zarajueta meet, and Carlos threatens the money lender with a shot gun. The servants, thinking Carlos is crazy shut him up in the wood shed. Maruja lets him out, and a little later when Zarajueta tells him that Carlos treats into the wood shed and Carlos turns the key on the outside.
Dr. Saturo is called in and, when told that Carlos is crazy he recommends a shower bath to bring him to his senses. The garden hose is used to throw the water through the transom of the woodshed where Carlos is supposed to be and Zaraguela gets a good wetting. He comes out bristling with rage and shaking with cold to demand his money He. is paid and goes away. The audience is given to understand how events will go in the future between Carlos and Marujia, and there the comedy ends.

TOLD OF HIS FRIEND "JIMMY" WHISTLER
E. H. Wuerpel Related Anecdotes of the Great Poet and Etcher.
The talk on personal reminiscences of Whistler, given in the chapel Friday afternoon by Edmund H. Wuerpel, director of the St. Louis Art Institute was heard by a large and appreciative audience. The address was an account of incidents and episodes portraying the artist and man "Jimmy Whistler, the great American master of painting and etching.
Mr. Wuerpel became an intimate friend and companion of Whisker's while studing the new masters at the Luxembourg in Paris.
Whistler, the Man.
On the occasion of Mr. Wuerpel's first visit to Whistler he was so completely charmed with the artist's personality that he quite forgot his errand. After seeing the six blocks homeward he recalled the occasion of his visit and the art exhibit.
"Whister had a simple, childish nature," said Mr. Wuerpel. "He saw everything from a youthful point of view. We were like two boys together.
"Whistler loved his friends and liked to have them about him, but he despised those who came to see him out of idle curiosity."
Whistler, The Artist.
Mr. Wuerpel explained that the charm of Whistler's paintings lies in their unusual harmony of color, which gives them a subtle dreamy effect, and in their simplicity of style. Whistler was a master of detail even in the place where his paintings are displayed which marks every production of his. The placing of the butterfly often forms a point of interest in his paintings as is shown in his "Gray and Silver," now being shown at the art exhibit in the Administration building.

THEY CAUGHT THE TRAIN ON THE RUN
Two Gleemen Overslept And Were Almost Left Behind.
RHODES AND DODGE CULPRITS
When Cab Drove Alongside, Rhodes Boarded and Left Dodge to Struggle With Trunks.
The departure of the glee club, which had promised to be a very quiet affair, turned into one of turmoil in which the hearts of the fourteen men—and two in particular—were forced into excessive action.
The special car for the University singers had been attached to the end of the Ottawa train and the conductor was holding his watch to start or time, at 9:50 a.m., when Manager Kates counted his men and found that two were missing. Immediately two students who had planned to the club off, volunteered to fill the places, but it was decided to hold the train a few minutes.
The Ottawa branch prides itself on "running on time," and after waiting impatiently for five minutes, the conductor gave the signal and the train started slowly.
The twelve men had placed their suitcases and trunks in the pullman and were standing on the platform waiting for the two late members, when a cab was seen approaching at a rapid rate two blocks away. One of the occupants saw the train start and he leaned far out the window and waved his hat to stop it The engineer continued to increase the speed.
The cab-driver pulled his panting horses up by the side of the track and Ed Rhodes and Clyde Dodge jumped out. Rhodes, who is an engineer saw the impossibility of outrunning a locomotive and made for the rear car of the train. Dodge grabbed his steamer trunk and with the assistance of a couple of students boarded the car as it was leaving the end of the platform.
Everyone was aboard, and they shouted a farewell to Lawrence and the University. Dodge threw a silver dollar to the excited cabman. The first concert will be given in Chanute, Kansas tonight.
The personnel of the club is:

WE NEED YOU
The Daily Kansan needs more re porters.
Several weeks ago the urgent need for more representatives in the various Schools was explained, but it seems that a great majority of the student body disregarded the call.
At the present time the Daily Kansan force in inadequate to "cover the hill in the way it should be covered." This difficulty can be overcome if several enterprising students will give a few hours of their time each week in getting the news. We need reporters.
If you have had some newspaper experience, a little work-out on the Daily will help you to brush up on the fine points of the game, and if you have had no experience, your college education will not be complete without a few month's work as a "cub."
No matter from what School o department you come, we want you Will you help?
THE GLEE CLUB
The University Glee club leaves today on the first important tour that any University organization has ever taken. A group of men who can really sing, they are eminently fitted to carry University life and Kansas individuality to the brethren in the West.
The trip to California is the biggest advertisement the University has had in years. All the West will know of the tour of the singers from Kansas. Their behavior, as well as their ability to entertain, will be watched.
The concerts given last week by the club showed that it is by far the best that the University has ever produced. It is proper, therefore that these excellent gleemen be selected, from a number of competitive clubs, by the Santa Fe railway as entertainers in its reading rooms from Kansas to the Western coast.
It is incumbent upon the gleemer to guard their actions so that no carping critic can point a finger of accusation at any member of the club. Let them carry the message to the West that Kansas does something besides instructing her men in books. Let them show the West that at the University of Kansan are educated—that they become acquainted with books, but at the same time acquire a culture that makes them at all times gentlemen
EXERCISE FOR ALL
One of the great problems of the modern educational institution is how to bring all, and not a part, of the students to take systematic exercise. The tendency is to overemphasize athletics for students who are naturally strong and healthy, and to neglect those who are weak and who really need abundant exercise.
To students who are acquainted with the situation, there is nothing surprising in the recent statement by
Dr. Naismith that not more than half of the students in the University of Kansas take exercise in the gymnasium. Anyone who is even occasionally in the gymnasium comes to recognize the faces of a little band of healthy, red-blooded students who seem to constitute, as it were, the excuse for that fine building and its equipment. They frequent the gym and partake of its advantages Some, it is true, seem to overdo the matter of physical exercise at the expense of their regular class-work but most of them are sufficiently moderate.
There are, then, those students who frequent the gym, and those students who take exercise occasionally. There are others—and they are numerous, too—who never look inside the gym. These are the ones that need to be warned. They are not all weak, unhealthy creatures, but the weak, unhealthy creatures are amongst them, at least, and not amongst the more athletic students.
Here is a big splendid gymnasium for your use. If you haven't been taking exercise, you had better begin immediately. You can't tell when you will have a physical breakdown because of physical inactivity. Besides, the gym work will make your blood really circulate as it should. Sluggishness will be banished, and your mental efficiency will be increased more than enough to repay you for your time.
DON'T GO!
Another thought for today. Why is it that so many of the spectators at the basket-ball games leave before the game is over? At the game last Friday evening people commenced to leave the building at least six or seven minutes before the end of the game, just because it was certain that Kansas would win.
There is always the utmost courtesy due the team that visits us for a friendly contest in athletics. We ought to show the same degree of respect for these visitors that we would if they were visitors in our own homes. This spirit of courtesy ought to make every person remain in his seat until the last whistle is blown.
And besides, to act otherwise shows little regard for the home team.
JUST LIKE FATHER
William had just returned from college, resplendent in pep-top trousers, silk hosiery, a fancy waistcoat and a necktie that spoke for itself. He entered the library where his father was reading. The old gentleman looked over the surveyed his son. The longer he looked the more disgusted he became.
"Son," he finally blurted out, "you look like a d—— foul!"
Later the old Major who lived next door came in and greeted the boy heartily. "William," he said, with undisguised admiration, "you look exactly like your father did twenty-five years when he came back from school!"
"Yes," replied William, with a smile,
"so father was just telling me."—
Everybody's.
AN EDITORIAL BY MR. AESOP
GAUNT Wolf was almost dead with hunger when he happened to meet a House-dog who was passing by. "Ah, Cousin," said the Dog, "I knew how it would be; your irregular life will soon be the ruin of WILLOW. You don't work steadily as I do, and get your food regularly to you?"
"Oh, it is nothing," said the Dog "That is only the place where the collar put on you to night to keep me chained up, it is a bit, but one soon gets used to it."
So the Wolf and the Dog went to there, where the Wolf noticed that the bar on a certain part of the Dog's neck was very much worm away, so he asked him what did he do?
"I would have no objection," said the Wolf, "if I could only get a place." " arrange that for you," said the Dog. "I should master you and you shall share my work."
"Is that all?" said the Wolf. "Then
it's fine." But the dog bitterly

For His Alma Mater
By Ing. D. Carson
NEAR the west gate of the university, almost under the caves of the Administration building, stands an ancient apothecary's shop, roofted with moss, many-times repaired with aged slabs, mildewed and weathered. Struggling upward, a story-and-half, the frameworkstands like an old soldier, with shoulders squared, but twisted with pain, and uncertain of footing. A misty shop window filters the sun's rays by day, and at night transmits two dusty bands of red and green.
Within this crazy relic of bygone frame construction there used to toil a man as strange and as frowsy as his surroundings. Abijah Newlin, the apothecary's clerk, was a near-sighted methodical person of thirty-eight, who had great, red knuckles, and played the fute. No effort was ever expended by him in dressing the window or arranging the bottles big and little to the best advantage. Abijah had a soul above the details of commerce, for as far back as memory would take him he had longed to practice medicine among people of his own company. It were people of his own conception of the man's life, that, and to play the fute. With the latter business he had made some progress, but with the former, ambition had been governed by circumstances over which he had attempted all his life to gain control, and failed. His spirit had never wavered through all the years; he looked upon the university as his alma mater; he was a part of it all.
Abijah was a person of some independence, for his master, becoming wealthy in the village, from the discovery of certain infallible cures, had transferred the major part of his activities to a fruit farm that lay at a distance. Abijah conducted the business as before, devoting the hours from sun-up until curew bell to the service of his employer and the public. That term comprised besides the villagers, for whom he held a secret and profound contempt, students in the university, stern-faced faculty members, learned in every science under the sun, and once Abijah remembered it well, with a glow of pride that set him all ashake, the president of the university himself.
When Abijah was twenty-four, he had enrolled in the university hoping to find the means of continuing his studies by working a part of the time in the little shop at the wate, gate, and by finding harder and better-paying employment elsewhere during the summer vacations. He had planned the whole scheme; at thirty he would relocate to the doctor's degree, the thought made him tremble even yet. But as days, and months, and semesters of the old university went by, difficulties arose to thwart the most careful of his plans.
Illness and financial troubles at home compelled him to rely more and more upon his own efforts. Slowly he was forced to drop subject after subject from his course, employing the additional time thus gained at the little apothecary's shop. With the semester half gone, Abijah found himself withdrawn from every college activity save the student orchestra, where he sat among the wood-winds, purring softly as he played. At the end of the semester a card was mailed to Abijah Newlin stating that he had received one credit from the university for devoting an hour a week to the student orchestra.
The second year in the college town was a busier one for Abijah than had been his first, and he even found it impossible to retain his position in the orchestra. His employer's remedies were becoming so popular the country round that Abijah and a lad of the village were busy six nights in the week bottling and packing orders for the following day.
Although the semesters filed by and Abijah's chance to continue his college work grew less bright, he seen just as often at the campus sports and activities. In the room overlooking the campus wall he played again and again the little tril that had been his solo in a university symphony long ago. As he busied about the stained prescription case, he was often reminded of the credit he had won, and often would he pause and study the little card that had found its way to a place of safety within the glass case of the chemist's balance. The spirit of the university man was strong within the heart of Abijah Newlin, and he made the campus his playground, when he might find time for a stroll in the evening or perhaps three delightful hours upon Sunday afternoons.
had long ago found a place with dreams of a diploma and friends among the
Abijah started out one evening upon his customary tramp across the campus. Passing north between the college wall and the administration building he noticed that the president was working late. Abijah wished that he might know the president, but that had long ago found a place with dreams
My heart leaps up when I behold a rainbow in the sky; So was it when my life began, so is it now I am a man, So is it shall grow old, or let me die! The child is father of the Man; And I could wish my days to be Bound each to each by natural piety, our joy.
THE RAINBOW
students. The blind was nearly drawn at the president's window, but the strong band of light that could be seen told of a night meeting of importance. Perhaps a new ruling was under consideration, a ruling that would affect the undergraduates. Abijah wondered the matter, for student affairs were still the big item of his reflections, and he felt a personal concern in the light and its meaning. He thought of the sad case of the president's son, a 'ne'er-dowell, who everyone distrusted but forebore to show it out of a great respect for the elder man. Abijah wondered if some further secapade of the youth was cause for the president's vigil, and passed on.
At the north corner of the building, Newlin saw a man slip noiselessly from one tree to another. From his clothes, he judged him to be a student, possibly out for a lark, and awaiting an opportunity to paint his class numerals on the college wall. Abijah remembered the numerals of his own class, and chuckled; fear of rebuff prevented him from offering to give this fellow-student a hand up the wall, or to hold the paint pot for him. So he passed on along the well-known walks past the music building, past Gilbert and Stockley halls, and then down a long path to the stadium, erected on the side of the old bleachers where years before by sheer breadth of back, and will to do, he had supported a section of plank seats while a score of screaming girls had scrambled in safety before the crazy affair collapsed.
Turning again, he returned slowly to the west gate. Coming along the wall he heard someone in rockeless tones, a voice hoarse and throaty, exhorting another, daring somebody to do something then and there. Abijah feared that some village loafer unable to gain admittance to the store was preparing to damage the building. Quickening his long stride, he ran around the end of the administration building, and stopped still.
The president's blind was rolled clear of the casement; the swinging window stood wide and the voice he had heard raised in anger, came from within. Abijah drew himself up to a level with the sill and looked in him. He was not sure that he had seen aright, and after a moment of wondering he looked again. The president, seated at his desk, was staring at up the speaker, who swayed from side to side as he shouted at the man before him. Abijah threw a great, lank leg over the sill and drew himself into the room; the young man before him was the renegade son. Without a word the president arose and pointed to the door; his visitor lurched forward and Abijah saw the president, his president, struck in the face and sent white and dazed into the great arm chair from which he had arisen. The assailant dropped backward and picked up a cut-glass instand that stood upon a table. At that moment Abijah sprang into the room, swelling the man off the floor and flung him with all his might. The flying body struck a panel of the wainscoth head-on; turned over twice, and lay still.
Running to the president, Abijah helped him to rise, fetching a glass of water from a pitcher near by as the gray-haired man regained his feet. As the president took the glass, both turned toward the senseless body. The fellow lay spread out like a letter X, with his hat jammed over his eyes. Abijah noticed that his clothes were of college cut. Swiftly he stooped and laid his hand over the heart of the prostitute man; for an instant he fancied that he would be soldiered away, then all was still. Abijah arrose, removed his hat, and bowed his head as the president advanced with out-stretched hand.
"My dear sir," said the president huskily, "you have taken a great load from my mind. I am grateful for your timely assistance. Had you not intervened, I should have been obliged to kill him myself."

John Herman came to Lawrence years ago without any money to start in business, but he knew how to make horse collars. He began work in a small way. He made good collars that sold themselves, because they had John Herman's word behind them. His business grew. Today he has a large three story factory working to the limit of its capacity. He is a heavy owner of Lawrence real estate.
That's just one little tale of business success in Lawrence. There are many others. Opportunity is just as great today as ever. Lawrence industries have a way of getting bigger and richer. And there is room for more.

WHEN PROM WEEK VISITS THE LAND
College Men Sweeping the Room and Dusting Her Picture
(From the N. Y. Evening Sun)
"Goin' to have a girl, Bill?"
"Nix, I'm busted."
"Well, you're always busted, aren't you? Hek something and have one."
"Hum—maybe I will. Let's see, I've still got my typewriter—"
And eventually, of course, Bill sits down at his desk, takes out a piece of the fancy notepaper that he "borrowed" from his sister, during Christmas vacation, props open the dictionary at his elbow and batters the English language into his mouth, and respond to Him to help him bear up during prom week. He then goes down大街 and raises a little of the root of evil on his type-writer.
For—gentlemen—hush! —it's prom time in the colleges, and the above conversation might be heard today in any one of the dozen institutions of learning throughout the land of the free, especially 'round these parts. Watch any citizen with a son in college. If he's selling short to raise a little of the ready or changing ends of his cuffs to save laundry bills—then you can guess it's all along of Charlie and his prom girl and the hack bills, and the ticket for the concert and the new dress suit. And father comes through, because it's a part of Charlie's polish; his dull finish, as 'twere.
And as for the *From girl herself*—my! Bill's frilled epistle is scarcely in the house before Phyllis is at one end at the telephone with her best friend at the other. And, my dear, it's just too sweet of him, and my pink silk has just come home, and of course I having nothing to wear and isn't it too bad you're not going? Good-bye. Then you'll be pages of superlatives, and to the corner to mail it itself, all in a heavenly flutter.
Bill doesn't flutter. He fumes. Because his room has to be swept and garnished for the feminine invasion, and its a bit of a job, so it is, and which way to push a broom? And Bill's chair, or the stool, chair and swings his legs and assures Bill in a shaky bass that "Evry rm he brings her vi-i-ole-tes."
"Would you please not mind if you don't sing any more?" says Bill, ominously. "And you might at least dust the teatoo, or something."
"Nothing to dust with. * * * Tum-ta-tee I bring the ro-ses." and then Bill has at his roommate with the broom, and the immediate landscape is wrecked completely, and has to be done over, and a man is hired to come in and do it, because Bill is so awkward about the sweeping, brooms having been left out of his curriculum.
But in the end the floor is made respectable, and what is left goes under the couch, and Bill puts on his own and part of his roommate's best, and fuses down to the station, where Phyllis is arrived, amid trunks.
But the crowning glory of it all, of course, is the Prom itself. How the lights sparkle, and how the decorations glow, and how the floor invites, and how the orchestra intoxicates! And how pretty Phyllis looks in her pink silk; by jove! And if Bill's pumps are a lithe ballerina, then his shirt hinds, what of it? You have to pay something for pure, 18-carat joy like this.

Art Custodian Tells How Pictures Are Part of His Life
His Life
At the art exhibit in the Administration building, Rev. J. P. Coffman, the custodian, lives over past experiences in looking at the pictures.
"Look at the canvas," he said, pointing to the picture called "The Place of Silence," by William Ritschel. Can't you see dells and caves and crevasses where you can get away from everything but your own heart?"
Mr. Coffman stopped before H.
Bolton Jones "Over The Hills," all
soft purples and greens, with a long
distance view that brings tears
toward midsy hills in the distance.
"I just feast on that picture," he said. "Many a time I have driven over such a road up in Dakota, thirty years ago."
Mr. Coffman led the way to the case containing the Newcombe Potteries and the Fitzgeralds.
"That embroidered table cover reminds me of the samplers folks used to make more than fifty years ago," he said. "And notice these vases. No two alike. Seems as if they were made in the same place, but a picture in the other room of a bunch of yellow dandifols in a gray vase just like this."
Mr. Coffman hopes that another year more of the students will buy season tickets, and drop in often to see them play, and they learn to appreciate their beauty.
"A young man came in here the other day," added Mr. Coffman, "and said I've got fifteen minutes. Can't I see 'em all in that time?" Yes, my friend, I said, "you can go in and count them all in fifteen minutes. But as for seeing them, it would be a complete and lasting impression of the pictures." You have to look at them until they seem like old friends."
The attendance this year has been larger than any year of the last four. On Monday, eighty-six persons visited the exhibition, the largest attendance on one day.
"My favorite picture?" said Mr. Coffman, with his genial smile. "I'm like the young man who was sparking two girls at once. I don't know which one to choose."

Stafford High School, Feb. 14.—(B3 Earl Stafford, Special Correspondent)—The Y. M. C. A. which was organized at this school in the winter of 1908-09 with a membership of fourteen has now increased that number to nearly sixty. The organization is planning to send a delegation of fifty to the State Y. W. C. A. convention at Hutchinson, the sixteenth and twentieth of this month. Regular weekly meetings are held on Thursday nights at which either members of the club or men of the town give special talks.

KANSAS WON LAST OF HEAVY CONTESTS
Hamilton's Team Defeated Washington in Both Games.
SCORES 43 TO 16 AND 30 TO 22
Washington Wins in First Contest Showed Great Improvement in the Second Battle.
The last of the local basket ball games were the best played on the home court this season. Hamilton's men played a consistent game in both contests and though they met with little opposition on the first night found the Washington team a foeman worthy of their steel in the second battle.
The Pikeway team weared by their long trip put up a feeble battle in the first struggle and were outplayed in every department of the game. Saturday night found them in much better shape and they gave the Hamilton squad the hardest rub of the year.
Friday Night's Game.
In a game marked by fast consistent playing by the Kansas five Washington university was defeated Friday night by a score of 43 to 16. The game was an interesting one from start to finish. There was none of the listless playing which has characterized the work of the Kansas five thus far this season, as they were pushed from the start to the finish by the aggressive playing of the Pikeway five.
After the first few minutes Kansas scored on a goal by Brown and from then on the game began to go their way. Kansas scored on an end of an 18 to 11 score.
The Score.
The second half was all Kansas. In this period the Washington squad was able to score but five points to the twenty five scored by Hamilton's men; individual work of the team was characterized by his guarding of brown and the free throwing of Brown who scored thirteen baskets out of sixteen chances.

Kansas was victorious in the second game played with the Pikeways by a 30 to 22 score.
The game was hard-fought from whistle to whistle and was in doubt up to the last few minutes of play. The Washington five had a complete reversal of form from the previous night and fought fiercely the whole game.
Kansas was the first to score on a free throw by Brown but were quickly headed by a difficult shot by one of the Washington forwards. At this point of the game Kansas advantage in team work over the Washington squad was entirely lost on account of wild passes and eccentric goal shooting.
The initial session closed with the honors evenly divided the score standing 13 to 13. At the beginning of the second half Washington secured a three point lead and seemed to have

School of Education Furnishes More InstructorsThan State Normal
TEACHING STANDARD RAISED
Bulletin Shows Nearly Twenty Per Cent of Kansas Instructors Receive Degrees from the University.
The School of Education has issued a bulletin showing a comparison in regard to the number of teachers in Kansas who receive their training in the various educational institutions of the state and outside of the state. The bulletin contains the list of all of the 1345 teachers in the high schools of the state with the subjects they teach and the areas where they are trained. It is graduated. By reference to it one can learn where every graduate of the university is teaching this y耳r.
According to the table the university furnishes 257 of the 1345 teachers; the State Normal, 207; the Agricultural College, 89; and colleges outside of the state, 181.
"To keep the large number 181, who go out of the state for their degree, within the state, the School of Education and the Normal must organize a special teaching class of high school teachers," said a member of the faculty yesterday.

SHORT-STORY GREAT FRATERNIZING AGENT
The Weather
The material in the bulletin has been the basis of an article by Dean C. H. Johnson, of the School of Education, in the February number of "School Review Monographs," published by the University of Chicago press. The title of the article is "The Relation of First-Class Normal Schools to Schools of Education in Universities." In the discussion, Dean Johnson shows that Schools of Education are just finding themselves.
Roy Stockwell and Ray Soper have returned from Hutchinson Kansas, where they have been attending the state convention of the Y. M. C. A.
Where the school is strong in a university, the enrollment has increased wonderfully, drawing students from every part of the country." he says.
Virginia Lecturer Thinks It Might Have Averted Civil War
"This is true of the University of Chicago and Columbia University, which are the two principal universities that draw a large number of progressive school teachers who are going out of the state for their graduate study. "The large enrollment of students at the School of Education which is the largest in the country, granting more B. A. degrees than the College there."
"Professional standards for teachers of the high school grade are far below the standard of teachers for any other grade of educational work." he continued. "This condition is being changed and the master's degree is considered the teaching degree. Proof of this is the fact that twenty-three Doctor of Philosophy degrees be held in Education, making them rank third in the number of doctorates in the other than science group, out of 37 subjects in which the degree is given. English, then History-Philosophy combined, outranked them."
Dean Johnston will further utilize this material in an address he will give before the Department of Superintendents of the National Educational Association at its meeting in St. Louis next week.

"The sections North and South would have understood each other better," said Professor Smith, "and there could not have been so much of that spirit of blind intolerance with which both sections rushed to the conflict."
"A prominent Southern Senator once made the statement in discussing the war, "If we know each other better we shall love each other more." This illustrates that had the short story then existed as it does today, it might have been the instrument of a more complete reconciliation than was effected in the period directly after the war."
"Out of the short-story I also expect to come that long looked for piece of literature, the American drama. The Elizabetht drama developed at a time similar to that period in America which saw the rise of the short-story, and was built on the earlier form of the short-story. I therefore expect a great national drama to develop from our present popular piece of short fiction."
Professor Smith was speaking on "The American Short Story." He said that he expected great things of it as an aid to the development of literature.
FRED LEE, '11 WON
SCHOLARSHIP AT YALE
Professor Smith lectures tomorrow on "American Humor" in Fraser hall. This is the lecture which the Emperor of Germany considered the best of the series. The art department of the Athenaeum, a woman's club of Kansas City, which will be in Lawrence visiting the art exhibit will attend the lecture in a body.
"The world knows America through the short-story," declare Professor Smith. "It is the great contribution of American Literature to the world of letters. It first called the attention to the study of literature by types and which is the proper method of modern criticism."
Professor Smith outlined the parts in the rise of the Americar short story played by its early masters, Irving, Poe, Hawthorne, and Bret Harte. He said that Irving had contributed character and setting to the story and had employee description.
Fred E. Lee, of the class of 1911, who is attending the School of Divinity at Yale University has recently been awarded a Fogg scholarship. The grade of excellence, required of a candidate for this scholarship, is that of the Philosophical Oration of the Academic Department. Lee led his class by twenty points.
Poe had introduced the element of totality, of convergence to a definite outcome. Hawthorne was the great expounder of symbolism, and Bret Hartle was the pre-eminent in sketching character, and in the use of local color.
BANQUET ON THE WATERS
A banquet on a steamer somewhere in Lake St. Clair or Lake Erie is the novelty which the senior law of the University of Michigan are now meditating. Plans for a banquet afloat sound almost fshy, but the committee in charge is taking it seriously and will send a representative to Detroit in an effort to secure a favorable offer from boat officials
Bulletin
Governor Woodrow Wilson finds it impossible to speak at the University Friday as scheduled. This information reached the Daily Kansan by telegram from Governor Wilson at 2:30.
The Daily Kansan immediately got into communication with Bert Brown, at Manhattan, who is managing the Wilson Kansas tour. Mr.Brown said the schedule had been arranged for Gov. Wilson to speak at the University and that he had wired the Governor to that effect. So nothing definite can be announced until tomorrow afternoon.
CHANUTE ENTERTAINS GLEE CLUB ROYALLY
First Concert of the 5000 Mile Trip Happily Received.
Chanute, Feb. 20—The Glee Club was met at the station by a committee of old K. U. men, consisting of John W., and W. A. Laphan, '00 who had made arrangements for the entertainment of the fellows.
Staff Correspondence.
The first concert of the trip was given before a large and appreciative audience at the First Christian church. As usual Lawrence Smith made exceptionally good and responded to several encores. The general character of the entire entertainment was even better than the concert given in Lawrence. The concert had to be more at ease singing before the audience audited which indicates that the trip should be a success.
The afternoon was spent in calling upon many of the town girls and auto riding. Although all the fellows made good with the fair sex we had to give the glad hand to Clyde Dodge and Clarence Sowers who scored a great hit in the first inning.
After the concert the members of the club were entertained at a formal dance at Eagle hall given by the Daughters of the Revolution. Much credit is due the alumni as well as the young ladies of Chanute for the royal entertainment given the Glee Club.
PROF. HODDER EXTOLS WASHINGTON'S CAREER
Criticism of His Politics Never Destroyed Courage and Optimism
TO DANCE FANDANGO
AT SPRING KIRMESS
Professor Hodder said that Charles Francis Adams had recently published a book which tried to bellow Washington's generality. He accounted for this attempt by saying that residents of Massachusetts were always jealous of the leadership of Virginia in the War, and that Francis Adams were always particularly jealous of the prominence of any other family of that period.
WILL ALWAYS BE VENERATED
Historians Have Never Subtracted from the Luster Surrounding Wash-
lution's Name - Romance Lives
Professor Hodder said that Washington's greatest lay in the fact that he was always optimistic and courageous, and his many people were criticising his policies.
ington's Name — Romance Lives.
"Historians have never subtracted anything from the luster which surrounds Washington's name, although they have often been accused of detracting from the fame of national heroes and taking away the romance in their lives."
"It is much the harder task to face the constant apathy and discouragement of the people—to have the courage of the common place." than it is to meet the enemy in the battlefield—to have the 'courage of the crisis.'
Intricate Spanish Steps Will Be Mastered by Gym
In comparing Washington to Lincoln, Professor Hodder said that Washington was cold, reserved, formal, and aristocratic; while Lincoln was openhearted and embodied all that was best in the common people. "Washington will always be venerated, while Lincoln will always be loved, but I cannot help but think that Washington performed the greater task for his country."
"I think it clear that no other man than Washington could have founded the Republic. I do not think it is equally clear that no other man than Lincoln could have saved the Republic." This was the closing statement of Prof. Frank H. Hodder of the History department in his chapel address on "Washington" this morning.

Eight dances from the Scotch, English, Spanish and Swedish national dances will be presented at the Kirmess to be given in April under the direction of the Women's Student Government Association.
Breatthitt Robertson, a freshman in the college, went to his home in Kansas City, last Saturday. He will undergo an operation for appendicitis, tomorrow
Miss Gladys Elliott and Miss Rose Abbott, of the department of physical education, are training the dancers. Miss Abbott did work in fancy dancing at the University of Illinois. Miss Elliott, who makes a specialty of fancy dancing, studied in Omaha, Nebraska, with Isabel Lowden, of the School of Expression and Aesthetic Dancing, and with Viola Dale McMurray, head of the Women's Athletic Association of Kansas City, Missouri.
"All girls, especially juniors and seniors, who wish to participate in the Kirmess," said Dr. Margaret L. Johnson, head of the department, "may begin training in the fancy dances classes at 3:30 on Monday and Wednesdays. In these classes, difficult steps will be studied, such as are found in the more intricate Spanish dances."
Mabel Nowlin, a member of the costume committee, described yesterday the color-scheme for the Spanish dances.
"The dresses are black," she said,
"with sashes and matador hats of
red or yellow."
DR. TRIMBLE ASSISTS STATE IN PROSECUTION
On the findings of Dr. W. K. Trumble, pathologist of the University of Kansas, the state will reply for much of its case against Charles W. Hedges, the ex-con-ger who accused Mrs. Dorett, a dawf, who loaned him money, in Kansas City,
Medical School Professor Testified in Hedges Murder Trial.
When the preliminary hearing was called Monday, Doctor Trimble was one of the witnesses called by the state and he was asked to tell what he has found by the examinations he is making in his laboratory in Rosedale. The scientist has told the police that the woman in the room admits wearing were blood spots. After reaching this decision the scientist took some of the blood spots from the wall of the room where the murder was committed and is now examining these.

POOR RICHARD SAYS:
Industry pays debts, but despair increases them.
THE MISSION OF THE "K"
The action of the Athletic Board in granting "K's" to former University men who won the letter prior to the time they were granted by the University, will strengthen the bond of loyalty that already exists between all former students and their Alma Mater.
In the early days of the University, when this great institution was in the making, men, good and true worked just as faithfully and sacrificed just as much as do our athletes now, and it is no more than justice to grant them a letter that places them on the roll of honor of the University that they represented.
When some old football warrior of the years 'way back' gets his "K," don't you think he will feel a thrill of joy and pride chase itself all over his body that was once so athletic? Don't you think it will make him commence to think about the old school, about the fellows he knew when he was here—and maybe he will come back for Commencement next year.
That's what we need. We want to get all the "old boys" boosting for the University. Their talk will count.
As the "K'is" are started to their various destinations over the United States they will foster a spirit of loyalty and good feeling that is always needed to make any educational institution great.
ABOUT CHEATING
As an aftermath to the examinations that have plagued all of the universities within the past few weeks, a number of the college publications are indulging in some speculation on the cribbing that it acknowledged to exist in every college. The diverse opinions expressed by the several editors show again, what the difference of the point of view makes.
We read in the Daily Palo Alto published at Leland Stanford, that cheating is an evil that not only exists in that institution but appear to be waxing stronger each year, owing to the indifference displayed by the upperclassmen in suppressing the evil and punishing the offenders. Expressing a somewhat different view, the Daily Iowa comments on cribbing but states that at Iowa it is a rarity; that the monitors who have been investigating cheating find that only four percent of college men resort to dishonest means to make their grade.
The University has never at tempted to make a detailed investigation of the cheating proclivities of its student body, but there is a general rule that a cheater caught will be punished and in several instances the Student Council has been called upon to exercise its disciplinary powers in cases of this nature. A few year's association however, with the students at the
University has convinced many observers that it is perfectly natural for the college man to cheat; that in very few cases will the man wha has forgotten, resist the temptation to refresh his lagging memory with a glimpse at his neighbor's work.
Many beautiful things have been written about the honest man about the man who wouldn't look or his neighbor's work for anything in the world. Such men are not as numerous as they might be and there is no university, college, or school but has a large per cent of students who will cheat if they are pressed to it. The university who deludes itself into believing that only four per cent of its students ever cheat is laboring under a misconception.
Cheating exists. We do not propose to engage in a discussion of the ethical principles involved. We know that it is not the right thing to do, but as long as any group of students are assembled they will cheat. The problem for the University is how to keep it down to the minimum.
The four per cent mentioned by the "monitors who conducted the investigation" represent those who were caught. It is our opinion that the per cent would be materially increased if the optimistic authorities in some institutions would "look closer."
JUDGE LINDSEY SAYS—
Judge Ben Lindsey of Denver in a speech recently delivered at the University of Pittsburg is quoted as saying that the worst crooks and thieves were college men. His explanation for this is that a university makes a man a keeper criminal. If the judge really said any such thing, his statement should of course be challenged as to its truth. But at worst, it has virtue as a commentary on the work of our universities. It implies that our institutions of higher learning enable a man to attain a concentrate mind, a mind that is able to see things quicker than his fellow-man and take advantage of his quickness of perception.
The same degree of keenness that characterizes the criminal distinguishes the college men who engages in legitimate occupations. And thus is exemplified one great object of $t$ university—the giving to the college man the power to solve problems and to grasp situations quicker and better than his fellow-man who has been denied a higher education

NO MORE LATIN AT ORONO
After next fall Latin will no longer be required at the University of Maine, either for admission or for the A. B. degree.
The soda fountain is considerably typical of current educational ideals; get any kind of flavoring you prefer; five cents to all and a full glass, ice cream extra. Whether it is truly filling at the price is another question.—Life.
That is a step in the right business direction. The University of Maine (at Orono; 858 students) seems to be maintained largely at the cost of the taxpayers of the State, and, of course, the educational goods on its counters should be kept within the taxpayers' reach. It is obviously no more than fair that the taxpayers who want the degree of A. B. should be able to get it with or without Latin, according to their several tastes. Besides that, it is thought that the omission of Latin as a requirement will help the business of the university, and enable it to compete better with the endowed colleges of the State, of which there are several. So it is natural to drop Latin, as it has heretofore been generally exacted by colleges from candidates for A. B., its fall, even so far as Orono, has been heard. What is the use of keeping goods if not only the label but the pattern does not suit customers? Many colleges have long given the degree of B. S. without Latin, and the main difference between B. S. and A. B. has been that A. B. had still an infusion of Latin left in it, though no longer necessarily any Greek.
THE ORIGIN OF "SOCCER"
"I heard a discussion the other day as to the origin of the term 'socker' or 'soccer', as applied to the game of association football.
A writer in the New York Morning Telegraph tells the meaning of "soccer" as follows;
"Soccer is just Oxford slang for "association football. At Oxford Rugby was and maybe is called 'Rugger' and Association 'socker'. "Rugger" was the Oxford magazine was called doing 'rugger'. Oxford Union was called the 'Ugger', while a certain college was known as 'Jaggers."
"Some one talked wildly about the wearing of socks in the game.

To be honest, to be kind—to earn a little, and to spend a little less, to make upon the whole a family happier for his presence, to renounce his possessions not to be embittered, to keep a few friends, but these without capitulation—above all, on the same grim condition, to keep friends with himself—here is a task for all that a man has of fortune and delicacy.
A MAN'S TASK
RECOLLECTIONS OF "PIP"
ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON.
When I used to study history in the high school, I usually got pretty good grades. It wasn't necessary to know much history, either—it was more a matter of glibness and repatriate. When the teacher asked me a question I didn't know much about, I usually began by repeating the question, and then I would broaden out and fill in with inventions of my own.
I could talk forty minutes about anything in English history, aided by my imagination and quoting numbers of magazines which I knew were not apt to be in the teacher's possession. I had pretty good luck with that exercise, but I was careful about the magazines I mentioned. That was in the H. S.
In the University it was "differ-
enceally." There the history professors
knew history; they may not know
much geology, or bacteriology, or
trigonometry, but they know all there
is to know in their line. I started
my genius to working one time when
Prof. Crawford asked me a question
relating to the administrative policy
of Edward III of England. I wasn't
quite sure whether Edward III came
just after William the Conqueror or
just before Victoria, but I launched
forth in a lengthy discussion, covering
most of the time between Canute and
the battle of Waterloo.
When I began to drag in Frederick the Great and Benjamin Franklin, Prof. Crawford threw up the sponge, saying, "Mr. Daniels, you have a remarkable flow of language, and your stride and wind are good. But your schedule is mixed. This is not a track meet, nor yet a public speaking course. I will have to go back to the other members of the class, I shall have to ask you to wait a few hundred years for the rest of the class to catch up."
That very day I bought a text-book for that course, and read a few pages in it every week or so, and I don't think that in a single instance I missed the subject more than a hundred years, thereafter throughout the whole course.
Got a letter from Billy Coors the other day. William F., J., finished the electrical engineering course at K. U. in 1910, and now he has a job with the General Electric Company in Sheenetady, N. Y. But he seems pretty cheerful in spite of that fact. The first year they drilled for gas in Howard, every kid in town had a minitruck, back yard, and punched holes in the windows of a crowbar or a buggy axle for a bit, "playing" "drilling."
Billy had a “rig,” a good one, and after he had gone down eight or ten feet, he dropped a lot of carbide down the hole, poured in a bucket of water, and touched a match to the top of the casing. He had all the city dads down there in his back yard, looking at the gas well and figuring how much it would cost to lease the Coors’ garden in the big rig over there. Just then Billy was asked if he said, “Paw, gimme a quarter, I’m about out of caribde, and if the flame goes out they’ll smell it sure.” -Pip Daniels in the Howard Courant.

John Herman came to Lawrence years ago without any money to start in business, but he knew how to make horse collars. He began work in a small way. He made good collars that sold themselves, because they had John Herman's word behind them. His business grew. Today he has a large three story factory working to the limit of its capacity. He is a heavy owner of Lawrence real estate.
That's just one little tale of business success in Lawrence. There are many others. Opportunity is just as great today as ever. Lawrence industries have a way of getting bigger and richer. And there is room for more.

THE "MIKADO GIRL"
IS OUT OF DATE
Light Opera Gives Americans A False Idea of Japan
NATIVE TELLS OF CHANGES.
S. Katsuno, University Graduate, Says New Spirit from America and Europe has Wrought Changes.
And yet, according to S. Katsuno, a University of Kansas graduate, who was in Kansas City on his way to Tokyo after a business trip through the United States, most Americans know little more of Japan than what they have learned from the "Mikado" and "Madam Butterfly."
"I am afraid," said Mr. Katsuno, commenting on this fact, "that my country has been made to pay rather dearly for the picturesque setting it has furnished the playwright. The kimoon the geisha girl and cherry blossoms (by the way, they'll be in all flower in Japan, we have) avoid undoing in the eyes of the world. In the words of Omar, we have sold our reputation for a song.
Americans Write Little of Japan.
Americans Write Little of Japan.
"You would hardly imagine, now that the librettist could fix the status of a people with a string of verses set to music, but I suppose it is true today that Japan is more closely associated in the minds of most Americans than Americans of the geshia girl sitting under a cherry tree combing her hair and singing to a naval officer, with a battle ship at anchor in the distance with than with all the great events in our country's history.
What little has been written of Japan by American travelers is quite worthless, so far as conveying any real information is concerned. Lafacadio Hearn, of course, is an exception, and yet even his Japan no longer exists. Faithful as his pictures were twenty years ago, they are as incorrect today as would be impressions of America I should learn from. But he go back and represent Americans as wearing the wigs and velvet coats of the Revolutionary period.

as native. In the great cities coats and trousers predominate. Many of those whom you would take to be followers of the old customs, and who may be wearing a kimono have slipped it on merely to do honor to some occasion, or they are dressed in their sometimes pat on his kilt. I like to wear a kimono myself when I'm home.
But the Japan of the mikado, ol flowers, dancing girls and operatic tradition is gone. Industrialism has swallowed it up. Railways, trolleys lines, factories, mines—the are the marks of the new Japan. Politically and religiously the country is as free as America. Schools are everywhere and education is compulsory. The Japanese woman whom travelers as restraining all the ignorance, superstition and slavishness of Orientalism will be found to be a graduate of a high school if not of a college, and to be capable of meeting American and European civilization on its own level."

PAUPERISM A DISEASE
Professor Blackmar Tells Y. M C. A. That Millionaires Are Often Poor.
"Wealth is not measured by money," said Prof. Frank W. Blackmar in his lecture at Myers hall Sunday afternoon. "The man with a fortune of a hundred million may be poorer than the day-laborer, so far as his ability to enjoy life is concerned.
。
"Wealth is a relative term, varying with the locality. The clerk in Lawrence who receives a salary of $600, would need $660 a year in order to maintain the same standard of life in New York City.
"We are realizing today that wealth is valuable chiefly as a means for carrying on great social enterprises.
"Poverty is a condition, but pauperism is a disease," said Prof Blackmar. "Too often the poor are helped towards pauperism and dependency by the misguided efforts of charity societies, who take away, by their open-handed liberality, all self responsibility and initiative in those whom they help."
This was the first of a series of five lectures on "Social Problems," given under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A.
Next Sunday, Profj Blackman will lecture at three o'clock in Myers hall on the subject of "The Prevention of Vice and Crime."

Garnett High School, Feb. 19—(By Bert Simons, Special Correspondent)—In the debate held here and at Rosedge Saturday night, Garnet won the championship of the Second Congressional district. Rosedge sent an affirmative here and Garnett sent an affirmative team to Rosedge. Garnett got two votes at each place. Garnett had already defeated Olainte and Faola, and Rosedge had defeated Lawrence.
The judges at Garnett were Supt. L. H. Wishard, Yates Center; Supt. Floyd Leo, Osawatomie; and Supt. C. M. Hillarye, Humbolt. The Garnett negative team was Frank Rhoda Royer, and Howard Johnson. The Johnson negative team was Warren Clements, Hester Kaufman, and Leslie Hagaman.
The Rosedale orators had good delivery and some good arguments but they could not keep up with Garnett when it came to rebuttal. One argument in particular they introduced that had an effect similar to a bomerang, only it came back faster than the ball from a recent issue of the Kansas City Star in regard to the Singl tax in Vancouver.
This is the last of the debates on the Single Tax question, and the Garnett debaters will not take up the question of Equal Suffrage which is to be the subject for the inter-district debates.
Howard Johnson of Garnett received the highest grade in the Garnett end of the contest, his average being 94½. Rhoda Meyer of Garnett received the second highest with 93-2-3. Warren Clements of Rosedale received 92 1-3 and Leslie Hagaman of Rosedale received 90
The Garnett affirmative team that went to Rosedale was Mark Hampshire, Ida Largent and Lothair Weber.
WINFIELD IS DEFEATED BY SOUTHWESTERN COLLEGE
Winfield High School, Feb. 19—(By Paul Wilson, Special Correspondent)—The high school was defeated Saturday evening at the Southwestern gymnasium by both the girls' and boys' teams. The girls' game ended with the score of 16 to 12.
This is the fourth time this season that these two teams have played and the college has won three o'them. The boys' game which was very rough was won by the score of 26 to 23. The high school was handi capped by the absence of the center which gave the college the tip off. Four of the academy men play or the regular college team.
SENIORS STAND TREAT
TO WINFIELD JUNIORS
Winfield High School, Feb. 19.—The senior class Friday evening is the high school auditorium gave its annual farewell banquet to the junior class. Plates were set for over two hundred. It was served by about twenty of the sophomores who were chosen by the seniors. Toasts were given by the presidents of the two classes and by members of the faculty. Seymour Heyworth the school debater is president of the seniors and Ray Warren of the junior class.
Preparations are being made for the largest graduating class this year that has ever been turned out of the high school. The class will contain sixty-three and there will be two or three join later in the spring. Nothing is settled about the scholarship which is given each year to the one graduating with the highest honors.
Will Wear New Jerseys to K. U.
Winfield High School, Feb. 19.
The handsome new jerseys which were given to the high school basket-ball team last Saturday for defeating the fast Nickerson high school team are here. They are white with V shaped necks and a large W woven in the center. They will wear them to K. U. when they go there to fight for the state championship in the spring. The team will go to Wellington Friday to play the high school there.

THEWOODBURYS AND AMMONS QUIT TRACK
Last Year's Stars Will Not Try for Team This Season.
HEAVY LOSS TO KANSAS TEAM
All Three Men Were Certain Poin Winners in Missouri Valley Athletics
The hopes of the Kansas track enthusiasts were dashed last night when the Woodburys and Ammons failed to appear in the Baker meet. For some time it has been rumored that the men did not intend to compete for the Red and Blue this year, but the story was not credited, as the men had in the past season been the mainstay of the Red and Blue, and the idea of their withdrawal had been too painful to entertain.
Ammons has decided to star on the diamond this year and is working every night in a baseball suit. The Missouri Valley rule which prohibits participation in more than two sports each year will keep the football captain out of track if he succeeds in placing on the base ball sound.
The Woodbury boys are staying out of athletics this semester because of
Ammons is the holder of the University discus record with a throw of 116 feet, 7 inches, made in 1910. In competition last year he was one of the most consistent winners of the Kansas team and placed in every meet in which he was entered. In the Nebraska meet he scored first in the shot and second in the discus and in the Missouri Valley Conference meet he repeated the performance.
Tod Woodbury holds the University records in the high hurdles, the low hurdles and the pole vault. He was a ten-pointman in any meet in which he entered, as he could place in the hurdles, the vault, and generally in the high jump. In the Convention Hall meet last year he took fifteen points; in the Nebraska meet thirteen, and in the Missouri meet on McCook he scored thirteen. He was the only man to break a University record while a freshman, setting a new pole vault mark in his first year.
Buzz Woodbury is another, who has not failed to place in a meet since he entered the University. He ran in both the high and the low hurdles, and Buzz Woodbury was good for a place in the broad jump in nearly every meet.
DEFI TO COLLEGE FIVE
Faculty Goal Tossers Hurl Challenge in Students' Teeth
The worm has turned.
A group of the more athletic, inclined professors of this institution, downtrodden for years, the butt of student wit, pictured as a group of bloodless and emotionless creatures by rising cartoonists, have resolved to show the boys.
The secret is out.
The faculty has privately organized a real basket-ball team, under the tutorage of a no less distinguished person than Dr. James Naismith with the avowed intention of collecting a few stray scalps from the College basket-ball team.
Boldly the pros, came out of their hiding places this morning and hurled the following defi at a bunch of surprised but not yet frightene College men: "We the members of the faculty basket-ball team, thereby challenge the College basket-ball team of this University to a game of basket-ball to be played in the gymnasium at half past four o'clock some afternoon in the near future suitable to all parties concerned."
As yet little is known of the strength of this team beyond the fact that a group of the professor have been holding secret practice in the gymnasium for the last several weeks. It is rumored that several old stars will appear in their line up so who can tell what the result of the fractas may be?

BASKET BALL TEAM INTO FOREIGN LANDS
Leave Tomorrow on Four Days Trip to Decide Southern Championship.
The basket-ball team leaves at 8:15 tomorrow morning on a four days' trip to play the last conference games of the season with Missouri and Washington universities., These games are expected to be the hardest of the schedule, and though it will only be necessary for the Kansas team to win two out of the four games in order to cick the ball, they must win both the formation of the Missouri Valley, the men will have to fight hard for every point obtained.
The Jaykawkers will arrive in the Tiger hair tomorrow afternoon and will play there Wednesday and Thursday nights. While Captain Stuckey believes that his men can take both of these games, he expects some hard rough playing on both sides. The team will leave for St. Louis Thursday night after the game and will play the first game with the Pikeways Friday evening. The outcome of the games with the Washington boys is especially doubtful. When Coach Hamilton's men mixed with them on the home court last week they put up the hardest game of the season and they were at that time tired out after a long trip and a strenuous schedule. This time it will be the Jayhawkers who will be at the end of a long trip and on a foreign court and their most classy playing will have to come to the lead if they wish to come out in the lead. Nevertheless the Kansas men are playing their best at the present time and the team feels fairly confident of carrying off the southern division championship with honors. The team will leave St. Louis at 11-30 Saturday night.
The following men will make the trip:
Coach Hamilton, Stuckey, "Red"
Brown, Boehm, Smith, Snyder, Baldwin,
Hite, and Greenlees.
Thursday, March 29th the basket ball team will journey to Manhattan and play the Aggies one game. From there they will go to Lincoln, Nebraska and will play two more games with the Cornhuskins on their home court. These latter games are not on the conference schedule.
INDUSTRIAL FELLOWS
LECTURE IN KANSAS CITY
Edward Weidlein and Ward Tillotson
Addressed the American Chemical
Society Saturday Night.
E. R. Weidlein and E. V. Tillotson, who hold fellowships in the Industrial Chemistry, department, addressed the Kansas City Section of the American Chemical society, which held its February meeting at the Kansas City Y. M. C. A. last Saturday night.
The subject of Mr. Weidlein's address was "Adrenaline, Its Sources and Chemical Nature." Following this lecture he gave an informal talk on "Whale Fishing in Labrador," illustrated with lantern slides, made from pictures taken in New Foundland by Mr. Weidlein.
Dr. Olinger will start a class in "Missions and World Problems" at Westminster House at 4:30 Tuesday afternoon. All who are interested in this important subject are urged to join the class.
Mr. Tillotson talked upon "The Relation of Some Physical Properties of Glass to Its Chemical Composition."
Out in Montana they call them "does." That sounds a whole lot better than "hen" and isn't near so threadbare as "co-ed."

KANSAS ATHLETES DEFEAT METHODISTS
K. U. Easily Wins First Indoor Meet of the 1912 Season
THE RESULTS DISAPPOINTING
Hamilton's Men Showed Strength in Distance Events But Were Weak in Dashes.
At the first indoor track meet of the season held in Robinson gymnasium last night Coach Hamilton's men ran away from the Baker representatives by a score of 64 to 29 This was the fourth annual meet to be held with the Bakerites and as usual was nothing more than a large tryout for the Kansas men. The showing however was poor and the boys from Baldwin scored more points on the Jayhawkers than in previous years.
One mile, Patterson first, Merry second, time 4:45.
Patterson, Murray, and Hazen showed up most prominently for the University of Kansas, while Parker and Martin scored the most points for Baker. The meet started out with Coach Scheerher's men pushing the Jayhawkers strong and at the end of the fourth event, the quarter mile, the score stood 16 all. It was in the dash events where the K track enthusiasts fell short but in the long distance and field events they pulled rapidly away from their weaker opponents. It was in these latter events that Patterson, Murray, and Hazen showed forth their promising qualities. Patterson did exceedingly well in the mile and half mile, while Murray showed wonderful endurance in the two mile. He gained four laps on the other entries in this race and broke his own indoor record of 10:21. He made the distance last night in 10:17:4.
25 yard high hurdle, Hazen first Martin second, time 4.1.
Captain French was in his usual form last night and cleared the bar in the high jump at a height of 6 feet. Hazen also made good in this event, besides taking first in the high hurdles. The four lap relay race was one of the hardest fought events of the evening and was lost by Coach Hamilton's men in the las lap.
The events and their results were as follows: 25 yard dash, Parker first, Babb second, time 3:3.
Quarter mile, Martin first, Smiti second, time 58:2.
25 yard low hurdle, Parker first Hazen second, time 4:1.
Half mile, Fairchild first, Patter son second, time 2:12.
220 yard dash, Davis first, Parker second, time : 24.
Two mile, Murray first, L. Brown second, time 10:17:43 (indoor record)

Trip.
YOUR OLD FRIEND
The College basket-ball team left this morning for a four days trip through Kansas.
On tomorrow afternoon they will tackle the highly touted Aggie freshman quint at Manhattan. The Aggies are expecting all kinds of trouble as they are laboring under the impression that the College five is composed of men who have played their Missouri Valley allotment and are therefore ineligible for the Varsity squad.
On Wednesday the College travellers will meet the terrible Swedes of Bethany. The Lindsborg crowd met and defeated the College boys in Robinson gym recently and the prospects are that they will repeat the dose.
Thursday the game will be played with the Minneapolis Athletic club Earl Woodward ex-captain of the K U. squad is the leader of the short grass team and will do his share in keeping the Kansas visitors busy.
On Friday night the team will meet Washburn at Topeka. This is the game that they are most anxious to win and which promises to be the hardest contested struggles of the trip, in an earlier game played or the local court the College defeated the Blue 32 to 30.
The following men will make the trip: Brown, Beamer, Crawford Branine, Eisle, Kent, and T. Smith Coach Jay Bond will accompany the team.
Ex-Football Man From Baker Here E. M. Mulvaney, of Baker University, visited Friday at the Sasnak house and investigated the course of Law given at the University. He was on his way to his home in Salida, Colorado, but will probably enter the University next fall. Mulvaney played right guard on the Baker football team for three years.

MAN WHO LIFTS CENSORSHIP
Told the Czar That Associated Press
Told the Czar That Associated Pres
Was Bound to Have the News
—Nicholas Yielded.
Melville E. Stone, general manager of the Associated Press, will address the Kansas State Editorial Association at its annual meeting here in April. This information was received in a telegram from Mr Stone to Chancellor Strong today. W. R. Nelson, of the Kansas City Star, and Frank McLennan of the Topeka Journal co-operated with the University in obtaining Mr. Stone.
Melville E. Stone is the magician who transformed the Associated Press from a national news-agency to a world-girding institution. To establish news bureaus he has personally interviewed the President of France, the Pope, the King of Italy, Emperor William of Germany and the Czar of Russia.
Mr. Stone's diplomacy in getting the censorship removed from the news of the Russian Empire, which had existed from time immemorial is still a matter of comment in editorial circles.
"The censorship is valueless," Mr. Stone told the Czar, "because it has built a wall about your country. Men in Vienna, Berlin, and London made a living by peddling false and harmful news about Russia. If you let us send out the truth uncensored and uninfluenced, Russia must be benefited."
The Czar finally accepted but asked for a mild and merely forma' censorship.
Mr. Stone won out and the Russian censorship of news was abolished.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency," said Mr. Stone, "but if we are not absolutely free we cannot do anything in Russia. If our dispatches are not to pass untouched, we shall leave Russia and go on getting the news of Russia from other countries."

The audience was even more appreciative than the one at Chanute and the club was delighted at the way its efforts were received.
Claude Sowers scored a hit with his impersonations between acts, and was obliged to respond to two encores.
After having fine weather in Lawrence and Chanute, the club awoke yesterday to find themselves in the midst of a storm, and the ground covered with about seven inches of snow. As a result the club spent almost the entire day in its car which is spoken of as "home."

PROF. HIGGINS AT THE BAR
Prof. W. E. Higgins of the School of Law represented the defendants and Hugh Fisher, who was graduated from the School of Law in 1909, was one of the representatives of the state, in a case last Saturday before Judge Smart of the District Court. The case was brought by the state against the Board of Education of Lawrence to joinen them from using certain text books in reading, that had not been adopted by the State Text Book Commission.

The men will sit down at the table at 6:30 Saturday evening, February 24, and from time on, the committee in charge of the stunts will endeavor to keep the men diverted. The price of admission this year is $1.25. This is the first time that committees have been appointed for the various departments of the School of Engineering, as features descriptive of the work in their respective departments. The character of these stunts has been kept a secret, especially those of the chemical engineers.

Professor Smith's Second Lecture Bared Secrets of American Laughter
EUROPE LAUGHS AT OUR JOKES
Life looks like a huge box of bon bons, a pavement of chocolate creams, one big case of dyspepsia to those elected to Sigma Xi and Phi Beta Kappa, from the Chemistry department.
"American humor is most of all individualistic," said Prof. C. Alphonso Smith of the University of Virginia, in Fraser hall yesterday afternoon, before the largest audience that has greeted an afternoon speaker this year. "I'm first touched on the general appreciation that American humor meets abroad."
first to Fire a Laugh Heard 'Round the World Was Irving—Mark Twain the Favorite.
American Humor Abroad.
"The humor of America is not irreverent as European humor sometimes is, stated Professor Smith. Whenever sacred things are treated by our native humourists, the butt of the joke is always the assailant and opponent of that particular objective of reverence, not the sacred thing itself.
The speaker said that Mark Twain is esteemed in Germany as the premier American humorist, and that since the death of Charles Dickens no writer has enjoyed the popularity in England that he achieved as the author of "Huckleberry Finn."
"Foreigners feel the humor of the Americans," explained the lecturer, "but they do not laugh at us, rather they laugh with us."
Over at the house of a thousand odors every member of the department makes one of the University's honorary societies, must bid farewell to a crackling greenback and present the rest of the bunch, professors included, with a five pound box of candy—no not candy—chocolate bon bons, with the emphasis on the "choc" Those who make both societies must turn up with ten pounds of the com- spoiler.
NEW SIGMA XI CHENISTS ALL TO THE CANDY NOW
Characteristics of Humor.
Professor Smith gave three characteristics of American humor. Exaggeration, as typified in the work of Mark Twain, understatement, as used by Bret Harte, and the employment of humor for the thought's sake, as is apparent in Franklin's "Maxims of the Art of Humor" in his last volume, pure humor for its own sake, but a higher form, designed for the illustration of a thought.
"Diversity is the keynote of American humor. In this country, whose immense distances, variety of topography and ranges of climate are so closely a part of the life of the people, our susceptibility to humor has developed more and more; for the highest type of humor is built on contrast, diversity, and lack of sameness. The 'grooviness,'—as Arnold Bennett calls it,—of English humor, is not present here."
"Much American humor consists in refurbishing bits of genuine human philosophy, continued Professor Frank Fraser and many of our modern humorous writers.

"Mark Twain by his epigram 'Truth is the most precious thing we have; therefore economize it,' has emphasized, it seems to me, more strongly than has any other writer the vast difference between spiritual and material things. He demonstrated, by the absurdity of yoking a great spiritual truth to an old materialistic idea of man, to a moral concept in material things be a virtue, things spiritual are not made to garner in board, but to give out."
Professor Smith lectures today in Fraser hall at 4:30 on "Idealism in American Literature."

There are seven victims in the department this year, two of whom must go the ten pound route. But the candy can't all arrive at once. Merely, no! There is a nicely regulated system invented to stave off a flood of sweetness. One box is bought up every Monday and Thursday afternoon to Professor Cady's office. There it is opened and eaten in a regulation do-have-an-other-piece, pink tea style. After the boxes are all in the professor himself brings up a box to wind up the stuffest.
The orgy started yesterday and will run for five weeks. Young doctors out of practice are advised to camp around the Chemistry building—there's an optional ty.

K. U. IN LIFE-SAVING WORK
Winfield Boy, Bitten by Rabid Dog Was Hurried to Hospital.
One chance of dying in a hundred.
That is the chance which a six year old boy, Earl Wilson of Winfield has, of not being cured by the physicians of the University Hospital at Rosedale after he had been bitten by a mad dog last week.
Ninety-nine chances in a hundred to get well. That looks good when the other chance is to develop a case of rabies, but that is the ratio of cures which are effected by the Pasteur treatment which will be given the child by the University doctors at the Rosedale hospital.
Earl was playing with his pet dog in Winfield last week when the dog which had been sick for several days attacked him and bit him several times. The brain of the dog was to Rose the developed case of hydrophobia was present. The boy was then hurried to the hospital for the Pasteur treatment

The merchants who put their advertising in the Kansas know that students, like other people, read the publicity news as eagerly as they read any part of the paper. They have money to spend and they are interested in finding out the most attractive and advantageous way to spend it. But in addition to this the merchant knows that besides reading his advertisement the students appreciate it as a mark of confidence in their paper, the paper that represents their point of view, and in the success of which they are personally interested, you.

WILSON DATE WAS A "MISUNDERSTANDING"
Telegram from the Governor Says He Can't Stop Here Friday.
SORRY, BUT SOMEBODY ERRED
"Impervative Engagements" Interfere With Plans to Give Candidate a Welcome to University
Chancellor Frank Strong, University of Kansas
Woodrow Wilson.
University of Kansas.
Most sincerely distressed by misunderstanding. Was not myself responsible for it.
A stop at Lawrence apparently rendered impossible by imperative engagements of long standing. My sincere regards and appreciation.
Chancellor Strong received confirmation this morning of the unwelcome report that reached the University that Governor Woodrow Wilson would not be able to be the speaker in chapel Friday.
No particulars as to just how the misunderstanding occurred are known here, but is assumed that the persons in charge of the governor's itinerary made a miscalculation in preparing his schedule and that when it was found that the engagement at the University conflicted with appointments previously made; it was necessary to cancel the presidential candidate's stop in Lawrence.
RED DOMINOS UNDERWENT
ARID TEST LAST NIGHT
Eligibility Rule a New Feature of Dramatic Club try-out—Cast announced Tomorrow.
Try-outs for the cast of the Red Domino play were held last night in Praser hall under the direction of Eric Heller and an act of elocution in the School of Fine Arts.
A new feature was instituted in the try-outs, each applicant was asked if he were eligible. No student with any conditions or flunks against him was allowed to enter. The number that tried-out was not great but the quality more than made up for what was lacking in numbers.
The cast was not selected, as Miss Mossler and some of the older members of the club wish to make no mistake in the matter. Those who were successful will be announced tomorrow.
SECOND ART EXHIBIT

POOR RICHARD SAYS:
Light strokes fell great oaks.
SO WE ARE IN LAWRENCE
Forty-nine years ago, on February 20, 1863, Governor Carney signed House Bill No. 122, "To Establish the State University." Strange as it may seem, this bill was introduced into the legislature originally by Representative Eskridge of Emporia, with the title "To Establish the State University at Emporia," but it was "dehorned" and remodelled before final passage.
The fight for the location of the State University was fierce and bitter. Lawrence, Manhattan, and Emporia were the chief combatants. When Manhattan secured the State Agricultural College that city was content to retire from the race for the University. The contest henceforth was waged between Emporia and Lawrence.
In the end, it was only by little more than mere chance that the University came to Mt. Oread. Lawrence offered an endowment of $15, 000 and forty acres of land adjoining the city. Emporia offered eighty acres for a campus, and had the advantage of being championed by the eloquent and enthusiastic Representative Eskridge.
The fight, interspersed with charges and countercharges of graft and pork-barrels and the like, came to an end in the House when the final vote was taken which resulted in a tie, and the victory was won for Lawrence only by the deciding vote of the presiding officer, who happened to be favorable to the city on the Kaw.
Even with this, the struggle was not over for Lawrence. The bill contained a condition: Lawrence must fulfil her promise to give $15,000 and a forty-acre campus. The forty-acre campus was forthcoming, the gift of Charles Robinson. The $15,000 was less easily obtained. After some time a gift of $10,000 was made by Amos A. Lawrence, and the citizens succeeded in pledging the remaining $5,000. Then came the terrible Quantrell's raid of August, 1863, in which Lawrence was reduced to ruins. The citizens were unable to redeem their pledges. Relief came when the benevolent Governor Carney personally cashed the citizens' note. On November 2, 1863, a proclamation from the Governor declared the State University permanently located at Lawrence.
So it comes that we are at Lawrence today, and not at some other place in the big state of Kansas.
The presidential campaign seems to be causing considerable disturbance in the heavens. Already a Star has fallen from two cents to one, and several Suns are wavering between various courses.
A HOLIDAY, WHAT IS IT?
Tomorrow will come again a cessation of hostilities between professors and students and this time it is in honor of George Washington, the
father etc., etc. It was only last week that the mills of education were closed down because of Lincoln's birthday and to several people it appears that the University has too many holidays; that there is too marked an inclination on the part of both professors and students to escape from the tedium of the classroom.
An investigation of the holidays in other universities, particularly in other countries, shows that the University has no more vacations than its full quota, and compared with a number of other institutions it has comparatively few. Surely we cannot be criticized for taking a few days off every year out of respect for our nation's great.
But it is a pat question whether or not these holidays are observed properly by the students. Is a mere vacation from class-work a sufficient recognition of the man whom we are honoring? How many students really give a serious thought to the intention of the day?
A University professor was right when he said "Wealth is not measured by money." In these preprom days, the only rich man is he who possesses a form which will fit a dress suit, and a "cousin" who sends occasional boxes of candy.

Evidently bored by the "live ones" of the University of Missouri, some girls of that institution are going fossil hunting next summer.
IS IT ONLY THE GIRLS?
What do you think of a college girl who—
Writes twelve pages of news to a friend and a page and a quarter of requests to the home folks?
Expects her roommate to be perfect when she may have a fault or two herself?
Who is never willing to work in the ranks and then has the blues because she is never asked to be chairman of a committee?
Seems to have unlimited money to spend at the Kandy Kitchen, yet can never remember to pay her class dues?
Forgets to pay what she owes or return what she borrows, then wonders why people are not more generous?
Fails to speak to half the boys she has met and then complains about the lack of politeness on the part of the college men?—The Simpsonian.
The editor was busy when he was asked: "How are the markets?" The man was referred to the office devil who looked wiser and said: Young men steady; girls are in demand; papas firm, but deining; mammals unsettled,waiting for higher bids; tea and coffee considerably mixed; fresh fish active and slippery; eggs, quiet but expecting to open soon; onions, strong; yeast rising; those raised on market are aresolved and are constantly going up and down; hats and caps not so high as last year excepting focap, which is stationary; tobacco, very low and has a downward tendency; silver and gold close, but not close enough to get hold of.—Cincinnati Inquirer.

AN EDITORIAL BY MR. AESOP
NE hot summer's day a Fox was strolling through an orchard till he came to a bunch of Grapes just ripening on a vine which had been trained over a lofty branch. He picked up the qoth he. Drawing back a few paces, he took a run and a jump, and just missed the turn. Turning round again with a One, Two, Three, he jumped up, but with no greater success. He fled, empting morsel, at but last had it up, and walked away with his nose in the air, saying: "I am sure they are sour."
It is easy to despise what you cannot get.
STUDENT OPINION

Instead of closing 10:15 classes at 11:30 on Friday, as the schedule orders, why do so many professors hold their classes until 11:40 or later, generally later, and thus cause students to be late every hour for most time?
Cannot some time be fixed for the closing of 10:15 classes after long chapel that all professors will be required to observe? S. P.
Like the new Easter bonnet which reminds one that it is time to put aside the old and prepare for the new, so the Medic building has had many a pleasant glance cast in the direction of its new covering. After many seasons of rain and sunshine, the last shingle roof on the campus has been removed.
To the Daily Kanssan.
This reminds one that across the campus stands the Museum, reported by good authority to have fifty-one holes in its roof. Take a friend among the specimens while the water from the recent melting snow is tinkling down over the head and it forcibly reminds one that it is high time that the Museum be prepared for the coming season by a new roof or at least by another desperate attempt at mending the old one.

What plunged the editor of the University paper into so gloomy a frame of mind regarding human nature that he could write in all seriousness the editorial "about cheating" that appeared yesterday?
To the Daily Kansan:
Taking the assertions contained therein at their face value, it would be hard to see any difference between the students of the University and the inmates of the state reformary. If the students are as prone to cheat in the four years of their lives passed in the University, then they cannot think, then the boys at the reformatory can scarcely need reforming more than the students do.
"As long as any group of students are assembled, they will cheat," is a statement that would betoken a sad state of degradation - if it were really the truth.
But instructors in the University would not think of saying that most of the students in their courses will cheat if they get a chance. The strict watchfulness of instructors in examinations is not needed because everybody will be honest, and it is because the honest students need to be protected from the few who will cheat.
There is, however, some reason for the belief that student honesty is not at so low an ebb as the editorial would indicate. The University is mader of great students and they are big round world. Side by side, will be found the honest student and the chea
—they are sure to be side by side a quiz time if the honest student is known to have pursued the course with them. On many occasions, oftentimes, to tell which is which.
A little fringe of cavalry can make life miserable for a large body of foot-soldiers. The situation at the University is similar. The student Cossacks and Rough Riders are not so numerous as one would think, judging from their depredations. They are numerically much inferior to the infantry.
The last American horn book known is also to be seen. It was found near Prinecton, New Jersey, and dates from about 1800.
READING HORN BOOKS
—CABALLERO.
These horn books from which our forefathers learned the art of reading English are primitive indeed. They consist, as a rule, of a small rectangular piece of wood with a short handle in the shape of a keystone at the bottom.
One Mexican horn书 is of larger size than usual. One of ivory has Roman letters on one side and script characters on the back.
On the wooden surface is pasted a piece of parchment bearing letters and words, and over this a thin transparent piece of horn is fastened to protect the reading matter from the meddling hands of the pupils.
A remarkable collection of early horn books is owned by George A. Plimpton of New York and an account of them in the Post says:
There were variants of material, but not of form, so that a device of this peculiar shape was known as a horn book even if the horn sheet which originally gave it the name was lacking. Thus in the present collection there is a horn书 of clay from a wooden mold, which is also shown, and which was used to make gingerbread cookies, as well as horn books of less perishable material. There is also one covered with leather, upon the back of which appears the figure of CharlesII on horseback; one of ivory and a very diminutive one made of metal, dated 1644.
So long as we love we serve; so long as we are loved by others I would almost say that we are indispassionate in mankind is unless while he has a friend.
RUNNING A NEWSPAPER
THE VALUE OF A FRIEND
—ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON.
W. A. White to the Press Club of the University of Indiana.
---
"I well remember that our first great struggle in running a college paper was for freedom. Liberty of the press is the great problem of all newspapers. Quite often we are wrong, but we learned that it was better to insist on our rights as we saw them, and be wrong rather than be right and spoon-fed.
"It is highly important that any newspaper be free. But it must also be right. If you are right and free you can go ahead, but if you are wrong society will not receive you and your paper will be a failure. There is no profession in the world where it is so impossible to fool the people. They cannot be fooled in the newspaper business. Therefore to succeed, a paper must be straight.
Mr. White gave some good advice about the influence of advertisers. He said: "Don't let advertisers bluff you. You cannot have self respect and be bluffed on any proposition. I have had subscribers lined up in front of my office to stop their paper so thick that I could not tend to them, but I didn't worry. They would come back. And they did. Remember that the business of a newspaper is to print the truth. But don't twist it. That isn't necessary.
The speaker then told of some of his experiences in the newspaper business. He said: "I have run from a woman with a blacksnake whip, and I have looked into the business end of a gun as big as a barrel, but it didn't hurt me. It was good for me. You will rub up against the same sort of thing, when you get to running a newspaper of your own.
"There is no other profession where it pays to keep straight so well, and be so fundamentally decent. You can capitalize decency and that is all that you can capitalize in this business, because you cannot deliver the goods if you are not decent, and if you can be decent, and if you are not decent in some way or other the public will appreciate the newspaper that is decent and will make it pay."
Touching on the "Loathed Contemporary" problem he had this to say: "Do not deny attacks made by an opponent. You can kill a paper by ignoring it. The very fact that you refuse to face an attack leads the opponent to say that there could not anything to it or the paper would deny it.
"I would like to talk all night to you, because I love to talk about newspapers. But I will have to close. As a final word I would like to leave this with you. No matter what turns up, keep your self respect.
OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
THE DESTRUCTION OF SENNA-
CHERIB
The Assyrian came down like the wolf fled, fold,
and his scissors were gleaning in purple and gold;
and the sheen of their spears was like stars on the sea.
When the lion waves wave rolls nightly on deep Galilee.
Like the leaves of the forest when summer is green.
That host with their banners at sunset were seen:
Like the leaves of the forest when autumn hath blown.
That host on the morrow lay withered and strown.
For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast.
And their hearts but once heaved, and forever grew still!
And the eyes of the sleepers waxed
deadly, death's chill.
And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed;
And there lay the steed with his nos-
tril all wide,
tril all wide,
triall wide.
But through it there rolled not the breath of his pride:
Am the foam of his gasping lay white on the ground.
And cold as the spray of the rock-beating surf.
And there lay the rider distorted and pale.
With the dew on his brow, and the rust on his mail:
And the tents were all silent, the banners alone
The lances unlifted, the trumpet unblown.
And the widows of Ashur are loud in their wail.
And the idols are broke in the temple of Baal;
And the might of the Gentile, unmote by the sword.
Hath melted like snow in the glance of the Lord!
the Lord!

*FISCHER'S SHOES ARE GOOD SHOES*
Footwear Styles for Spring 1912
Madam :
Have you noticed the new styles of Oxfords and Colonial Pumps shown in our north window? You will note the changes of style from last season, in that, some have the rounder, fuller toe shapes, with Cuban heels not as high, and not quite as short vamps. Others with full "Nob" toe, the new low heel, shorter vamps, some perforations, which gives the foot that short, graceful appearance so much in vogue in the east among the younger set.
Still others in Colonial Pumps, of Dull Black leather, large, long buckles, plain toe, high Cuban heels—a graceful combination for street wear.
The Footwear styles are fixed for the next six months and the very kind fashion dictates are shown here. You are safe in buying now.
For Early Spring wear, Tan Russia, Dull, and Ooze Calf leatherse predominate for street wear.
Step in please, and take a closer inspection of these beautiful new shoes.

WISCONSIN SYSTEM IN K. U. ATHLETICS
Compulsory Outdoor Sports Were Instituted Here in 1898
LONG PERIOD OF EXPERIMENT
Discovery That Indoor Sports Only Partly Develop led to Adoption of Apparatus Work.
The Wisconsin method of compulsory athletics which has created such a stir in athletic circles is no new thing here according to Dr. James Naismith, head of the Physical Training Department of the University of Kansas.
"Our present system of compulsory exercise for College freshmen and sophomores," said Dr. Nalsimshi, "is merely an outgrowth of a series of experiments with a system similar to the one now in use at Wisconsin. These experiments had their beginning in 1888 when athletics were made a part of the required work for College freshmen and sophomores.
"In the first half term, the freshmen are allowed to select football, track, or soccer and do the work under regular coaches. In the second half, the men are organized into teams and play basketball. For the first term our work is similar to that which is outlined in the course employed at Wisconsin."

"In 1909, an examination was made of the class at the completion of the first term in order to find the effect of these games on the physique of the men engaged in them. With but few exceptions the astonishing fact was found that while the lower part of the body had gained, there had not been a corresponding increase in the upper part of the body. For this reason it was decided to have the classes take up apparatus work in the third term, which is a developer of the shoulders and chest and arms. In other words, this work takes the place of the exercise our ancestors secured by chopping down trees and sawing wood. It has been found that the men fresh from the athletic field go at their indoor work with the same spirit as that they used in the contests. By this method of combining our gymnasium work with athletes we secure more symmetrical development that could not be attained otherwise, and in one month are able to secure a greater development than could be secured in the ordinary year's gymnasium work."

Students of the University however, will see the team in action when they appear in the mid-winter circus which is to be staged in the gymnasium in March.
The following men will probably compose the team: Brownlee, Joseph Elliott, Zurcher, Martin, Tudor, C. Clasen, J. Greenlees, and Lewallen,
The stunts will consist mainly of tumbling, apparatus work, special stunts by the individual members of the team and acrobatic dancing, if any of the team show any talent in this line.

BADGER-RAZORBACK GAME
Manhattan, Feb. 20.—The Agricultural College freshman team defeated the College basket-ball five of the University of Kansas here this afternoon by a score of 34 to 25.
The game was slow on both sides, in the first half the whistle showing the Aggies in the lead with a score of 19 to 6.
Wisconsin refused to play at Arkansas in the preliminary negotiations, as the comparatively warm weather prevailing in the South in October would have been disastrous to the Badger eleven.
The Aggies opened the second half with a rush and a series of fast plays soon gave them a safe lead which they maintained through out the rest of the contest. The College five appeared to be bewildered by the strange court and showed a remarkable lack of team work. In the second half the fast play of the Aggies completely disorganized the visitors for a time but they were doing their best work of the game when the battle ended.
The Badger-Razorback game will be the first contest between a northern and southern university since 1904, when the University of Texas played Chicago at Chicago resulting in an overwhelming victory over the Longhorns.
Fine Arts' Recital Postponed.
The recital which the students of the School of Fine Arts were to give at the University studio this afternoon was postponed till Wednesday of next week February 28, owing to the absence of a number of the students who have gone home over Thursday.

Do you know that there is a University rule requiring that you pass an examination in swimming before you get your A. B.?
This is no idle jest. That is to say, there really is such a rule. The authorities admit that it not strictly enforced however. In 1901, before the idea that the Athlete was some kind of an inhuman brute had struck the K. U., the University Council, or some other august director of student life passed a rule and placed the same among the requirements for an A. B.
The rule was to this effect: "It shall be necessary for every student of the college to pass a swimming test which determines if you feel feet before he is granted a degree."
The records of the University now show that every man graduating since 1901 has been able to go the required 50 and who shall deny the record?
It is expected that since the organization of the Womens Athletic association the rule will be as strictly followed by women as it has in the past as to men.
It was later decided that the rule should not be rigidly enforced as to women but the poor man who could have no sleeps. The 50 feet should have no sleepskin.

PNEUMONIA GERMS ON THE JOB THIS MONTH
Dr. Crumbine Submits Directions for Slipping Them Their Quietus
"Pneumonia is most prevalent in the month of February, and more deaths result from it in this month than any other," said Dean Sudler of the School of Medicine this morning. "The mortality from pneumonia in Kansas is 25 per cent of the total; in other words one out of every four deaths is from pneumonia. In the last few years it has out-distanced tuberculosis as a menace to public health."
Dean Crumbine, as secretary of the state board of health, has published a bulletin setting forth the danger from pneumonia, its causes and the simple precautions that may be taken for its prevention.
Among the causes are: 1. Unusual exposure in extreme weather 2. Exposure of old persons, or of persons suffering from other diseases. 3. Living or sleeping in badly ventilated rooms.
Dr. Crumbine sets forth the following common sense precautions:
1. Dress warmly but not too thicky.
2. Do not needlessly expose yourself.
3. Have abundant fresh air in your living and sleeping rooms.
4. Do not have your rooms too hot and then go into the open air unprotected by wraps.
Dr. Chambers, University physician, adds that now is the time to guard against colds, and especially should students having colds be careful about flipping their hand-kerchiefs from their pockets as this is an excellent way to spread the pneumonia germs.

VOLUME IX
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 23, 1912.
GOV. WOODROW WILSON SPOKE IN GYMNASIUM
Ex-President of Princeton and Probable Presidential Candidate, Addressed Audience of 2,700 this Morning.
PRESENTED BY GOV. STUBBS
Says Universities Must be Source of Light that is Needed in the Politics of the Present Day.
Woodrow Wilson, governor of New Jersey and a probable candidate for president of the United States, addressed an audience of over 2,700 persons in Robinson gymnasium this morning. Governor W. R. Stubbs introduced the former president of Princeton as the highest ideal of the American, and referring to the recent declaration of Mr. Wilson that "His hat is in the ring and his head is in it" stated that he knew the University audience would be pleased to hear him upon whatever subject he should choose.
Once again in the academic atmosphere, Governor Wilson appeared to appreciate getting away from political speaking and spoke as follows:
Surroundings Familiar
"It ites like old times to face a college audience. I was just thinking as I recognized the cheering and the kind of applause given by a university audience, of an artist, Oliver Hereford. At his club some man who just knew him gave him a sounding slap, and said, 'How are you?' Hereford writed and looked around.
"I don't know your face, or your name," said Hereford, "but your manner is very familiar." I feel that though I have not the pleasure of your personal acquaintance, your manner is very familiar.
"It is a very great luxury not to be obliged to make a political speech. I feel as if I would like to, just because I don't have to. I had a compact with my students that I could talk about anything in my class and that they were not to give me away. I have been talking politics ever since.
"I could talk in my classroom without it being reported. I never got into trouble until I got out of doors.
"A thought that is particularly pertinent this morning is, what we need in our politics just now is light and not heat. And the university of all places ought to be the source of light. I take no stock in a non-partisan man; we ought not to be non-partisan of the truth. A conviction held lightly is not a conviction at all. We ought to be ready to fight for a conviction either by argument or by concerted action. A university man should not hold things in a non-partisan but a judicial sense. He should not blindly take sides. A great deal can be determined only by the exercise of sound reasonable judgment. There is a great deal to be done and the only way is to choose between men and party, to make up your mind what there is to do, and who is best qualified in character and opinior to do it. That is all; but that's a good deal.
Fight For a Conviction
"There is a mistaken notion that our institutions are under indictment. The whole question we are debating is how to control by the common judgment of the nation; and how it can be prudently controlled and reformed. And in determining these things, we have to ask the question just as we would ask a question in a university class. For example: Can the tariff be based upon the relative cost of production in the United States and in foreign countries? The cost of production is something no man can determine Prof. Tausig's article in a recent number of the Atlantic monthly shows that the cost of production as a basis for tariff is a will-o'-the-wisp. That idea is a corpse, and it is worthless to delay the obsequies of the funeral. The cost of production is not the same cost in any two
NUMBER 25.
places, or any two mills or under any two superintendents. The cost of production is based upon the intelligence of the superintendent rather than the material elements involved in the reckoning. The business is to reduce the cost each year, and it is not the same from one twelve-months to another. Don't follow this will-o-the-wisp to old age and then find out that you should, as a boy have known better.
"The university man ought to know fact from fiction, reality from pretense. The truth should be laid bare to the bone. As old Dr. Holmes said, the truth is not an invalid, so do not be afraid of handling her roughly. In politics there ought to be reality and truth instead of pretense.
Hope in University Men
"The only hope is in this. Here in the West the more university men are coming more and more to the front in the daily affairs of their community, and this campus is the soil from which you are to derive the life of the nation.
"We hear a great deal about radicalism. We are all radical on the 4th of July but tend to be conservative on the other days of the year. In Virginia for example they experience a shiver when you speak of the initiative, referendum and recall. I take the liberty of laying before you the doctrine which was the soil out of which their constitution grew. the Virginia Declaration of Rights, always read on the 4th of July is that great commonwealth. It lays down the right of the people to control their own affairs; that public magistrates are the servants and trustees of the people and should be amenable to them at all times. You can't go further than that. The judgment of the people is the final test. Whenever they find their government unsuitable they have an indefeasible right to abolish it. Why the 4th of July and then draw back with a shivier from that July to the next July.
No Light Without Heat.
"These are the determining years years of your lives. If you do not see the point now you never will until some day when it is too late and you cannot 'come back.' Often the question is asked, 'what is the use?' "How will this study help me?" "What is the use of this gymnasium?" you might ask. Do you expect to do the double trappe with your partner in business? Do you expect to swing Indian club?
"We know there is no light without some heat, yet there ought to be some light without the heat of passion, the heat of prejudice. Discussions guided with a serene ray from the great unit versities. I am not one who considers a university education necessary for the salvation of the soul. I have met some as great fools within as outside a university. I know some outside that know more than some of my acquaintances inside. I do not believe all knowledge is found in the university circle. But to see the truth and follow it ought to be easier for a university man. A university man if he knows what he is in the university for ought to take a handicap against the other man. He has just that much start in training and experience. Most men do not know what they are in the university for. Once when I was discouraged I was comforted by a Yale friend. 'I have been teaching for twenty years,' said he, 'and I have found the human intelligence resourceful in resisting the introduction of knowledge.' A good many men think they are sent to the university by their parents for four years' of mental suffering.
Does anything in a gym like this strike you as particularly practical? You train you can stand the strain of life. You don't learn much. The amount of information you carry away from a great university negligible. Moreover, if it is science, it won't be in ten years. You are here in order to do the same thing for your mind as you do in the gymnasium for your muscle, to gret it in athletic shape so that any man who bumps into you had better look out. The strength and stamina of the athlete will enable you to do with you mind the tasks of life put on you. So with the morals. No man ought to stumble when a question of duty comes.
"I feel a great pleasure in coming before an audience like this. Why do you think of everything but your studies; everything but your mind, when it is the mind that will life Amerie? This country is not only factories and dollars. It is not what the eyes behold but what the spirit sees. Lift your eyes above the horizon of material things and then you will have seen the university vision and the vision of America.

Thirty-ffve Members to Give Program of Classical and Popular Numbers
The University Band will give its annual concert next Wednesday evening February 28, in Fraser hall. Under the direction of J. C. McCandes the band has grown into one of the best college bands in the West and it exceeds in many ways the cadet bands of the Universities of Nebraska and Missouri.
There are thirty-five members this year and they will give a concert of classical, standard, and popular numbers. Mrs. Blanche Lyons, of the department of voice of the University, will be the solist for the evening.
The following program will be given:
March—Regimental Pride,
Overture—Plique Dame.
Mazurka—La Czarina.
Worstravski Minute by Paderowski.
Vocal Solo—Sevilla—Mrs. Blanche Lyons.
Overture—Le Lac Des Fees.
Selection from Spring Maid.
Selection from The Girl of my Dreams.
The Engineer's banquet has been changed from 6:30 to 7 o'clock and it is expected that when Taostmaster H. A. Rice rises to introduce the first speaker there will be at least three hundred men at the tables.
PROF. H. A. RICE A POET
There is a persistent rumor that Professor Rice became so inspired with the prospects of the banquet that he composed an original poem which he will read tomorrow evening. He intimates that there may be several things that are not all laudatory.
INFORMATION IS WHAT KANSAS NEEDS
People of the State Do Not
Know Their Great
University
SO SAYS GOV. W. R. STUBBS
Addressed Good Government Club
Last Evening—Judge Clark
Smith Also Spoke.
"I know, and you know of the great work the University is doing for the people of Kansas in the way of solving the practical problems of life, but four years of campaigning in every county in the state have convinced me that a great majority of the Kansas people are totally ignorant of the scope and extent of the activities that the University supports. To inform the people of the great work that is being done here, not only in a dollar and cents saving citizens, but also in making better citizens, is the debt that every student owes the state for the immense amount of money it expends every year to support the institutions of higher learning."
In these words Governor W. R. Stubbs, in an address before the Good Government Club last evening at the Sigma Nu house, referred to the relation of the University to the state.
The Governor's speech was entirely informal and after a few preliminary remarks regarding his attempts to infuse business methods in all state affairs, he said "the lid was off" for questions. Governor Stubbs is a firm believer in the doctrine that high school students should not be compelled to take classical subjects which will not be a direct benefit to them in solving the practical problems of life. He advocated more of the vocational subjects in our schools as a substitute for so much Latin, Greek, French, and German.
In closing he expressed a wish that all the members of the club would take a few days from school and investigate the various state institutions with a view to placing them on a more business-like basis than they are now.
Preceding Governor Stubbs' address, Judge Clark Smith of the Kansas Supreme Court made a short speech. He spoke primarily on the duties of a good citizen but took occasion to point out several of the fallacies in the argument for the recall of judges.
Blackmar Will Lecture Tomorrow Prof. F. W. Blackmar will lecture to men students in Myers hall on "The Prevention of Vice and Crime" at three o'clock Sunday afternoon, February 25.

ELECT MUSSELMAN GLEE CLUB MANAGER
Position Placed on Honor Basis--Musselman Comedian of Trip
Special to the Daily Kansan.
Canadian, Tex. Feb. 22—John C. Musselman tonight was elected manager of the Glee Club for next year A rule also making the office purely honorary was passed. All the profits of the club will be turned over to the Student Council or student enterprise.
Graham and the Quartette were especially appreciated and were recalled several times. The real hit has been Musselman's comedy stunts which entertain the club as well at the audience.
In the concert here last night, the club scored a big hit. An excellent crowd was in attendance due to the good reports sent in from the other end of the division by train crews who had attended past concerts.

"DER BIBLIOTHEKAR"VON MOSER
Unter Leitung des Deutschen Departments der Universitaet Aufge-
fuehrt.
"Der DeutscheVerein," the German dramatic club of the University will present "Der Bibliothekar," a "a faree" March 28's theater, Thursday night.
Miss Patti Hiiatt who has had charge of many of the plays given here, will direct the play. Miss Hiiatt is a graduate of the expression department of the University School of Fine Arts and has had several years of professional experience in different cities of the state. Prof. A. M. Sturtevant of the German department will look after the pronunciation of the actors. The unique feature of the club is that it is the only dramatic club in its organization to the sole purpose of presenting to the German dramatic selections. Other universities have their vereins and these occasionally put on plays like the departmental plays here; but Kansas is the only university that has a club which hopes to put their play in the same class as the other dramatic productions with the same rules of eligibility.
The play has been arousing a good deal of enthusiasm among the large German population of Lawrence who are enthusiastic over being able to see an annual play in the tongue of their Fatherland. The management has received word from the German Turnverein in Kansas City informing him they will send a large delegation to Lawrence to witness the play. The Turnverein is a German society with chapters throughout the country and the chapter in Kassas City is one of the largest in the West.
"Der Bibliothekar," is a lively force that abounds in snappy speeches and quick action; and is known by many English theater goers under the English title of "The Private Secretary." The costumes will be furnished by the firm of Theodore Lieden of Kansas City. Edmund Doebhtold, the manager, is negotiating with the Shubert house to create the scenery. The garden scene of the second act will have to be built especially for this play.
The cast as finally selected is:
Marsland, a country squire.
... Homer Blincoe
Edith, his daughter. Vera Wessels
Harry Marsland, his nephew.
... F. Spreier
Lothair MacDonald, Harry's
friend posing as Dari Bil-
lothekar. ... Allen Wilber

uncle. ... Abe Goldman

panion. ... Rebeca Passon

At the workingman's house hunge look in, but dares not enter.
IT'S THE FIRST
Today's Daily Kansan is the first of a series of issues that will be dedicated to various departments and Schools of the University. The department of German has been a potent factor in the growth and development of the University and in recognition of this service and because the head of this department is also the vice chancellor of the University, it is fitting that the first "big edition" of the Daily be given over in some degree to this department.
It is the purpose of the Daily Kansan to publish several of these editions in which the detailed workings of several of our departments will be explained. We believe that the students will appreciate it and the people over the state who read the paper will gain a better understanding of the work of their University
AN INTERESTING GROWTH
'Way back in 1866 when the University had but three instructors in its faculty, Mrs. Cynthia Smith was head of the department of modern languages and free hand drawing, and besides her various duties as instructor of French, German and drawing, she was called upon to teach in several of the other departments of the University. It was from this humble beginning that the present department of German grew, and its faculty now outnumbers by over three times, that of the entire faculty of the University when it was started.
Mrs. Smith was the wife of one of the other members of the faculty and in 1868 she resigned her position. She was succeeded by Miss Leonard who continued as the only professor of modern languages and drawing until 1874.
Miss Francis Schlegel, who later became the wife of Professor W. H. Carruth, now vice chancellor of the University and head of the department of German, succeeded Miss Leonard and continued as head of the department until 1882.
It was in 1880 that Professor Carruth was elected as Miss Schlegel's assistant and in 1882 he was chosen as head of the department of modern languages, the free hand drawing being transferred to another School. Professor A. G. Canfield now head of the department of French of the University of Michigan, was the first assistant to Professor Carruth and in 1887 the department was divided, Professor Canfield taking charge of the department of French and Professor Carruth of the department of German.
With the increased enrollment of the University and the consequent multiplication of the duties of the Germanic department, the faculty has grown until now there are ten members who give their entire time to instruction in the German language.
The Irishmen of the University of Illinois are planning a huge "blow out" for St. Patrick's day. Will they hold a dance?
ATTEND THE BANQUET
The Engineers will hold their anual love-feast tomorrow evening and a consultation with the "eats" committee and a conference with Toastmaster H. A. Rice, are enough to convince anyone that Dean Marvin's "boys" are as up-to-the-minute in entertainment as are their brother Laws.
Such gatherings are so distinctive of the Schools that they will never die. Kansas has few traditions, but the annual banquet of the Engineers, of the Pharmics, of the Laws, and of the other Schools are creating a regard and interest in these events that will, in time, result in their becoming real traditions of the University.
The Engineer's banquet commences tomorrow evening at 6:30 o'clock and there is not a man in that School that can afford to miss it. It's these times of good fellowship that will be remembered when school days are over.
SOME SHOPPING EARLY
SOME SHOPPING EARLY
Over seven hundred Hawkeyes have been sold at the University of Iowa. This means that the manager of the Iowa annual has seven hundred books already contracted fos and that he can use this money to good advantage in producing the senior book.
Why is it that the seniors at the University refuse to become interested in the Jayhawker until the time for distribution is almost here? The manager of this year's book states that only a few tickets have been sold and that a great majority of the students appear to be more willing to pay the extra tax if books are bought later, than to buy now. Seniors at the other universities buy early; why can't seniors here
Seniors at the other universities buy early; why can't seniors here show the same enterprise.

The recently organized K. U. Debating Society will meet tonight to determine definitely on a regular meeting night. Thursday and Friday evening appear to be the only nights upon which those interested can meet, and tonight an effort will be made to satisfy all those who have longings to engage in forensic battles.
The K. U. Debating Society has flourished during the few weeks of its existence and it is to be hoped that all the members will be present in order that a suitable meeting night may be selected.
The discussion going on this winter between Mr. Thermometer and Mr. Barometer of the University weather bureau is not so heated as the Harvey-Wilson controversy probably because the Meter twins descend to lower levels in their fight.

MY SYMPHONY
live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury; and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable; to be hard, not difficult; hard, think quietly, talk gently, set frankly; to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry noises, avoid dangers, unful, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
It is indeed a hard task to pick from the voluminous works of Washington the most memorable or the most important. His letters, addresses and state papers show a refinement of style and detail in his pick and choose from the best of them.
-WM. HENRY CHANNING.
WASHINGTON, PROPHET
It is generally conceded that his "Farewell Address," written at the time of his public notice of retirement, has in it the finest passages and shows most truly the spirit of the man; at the same time treating with an almost uncanny wisdom the many questions that he saw were to perplex the nation and subject the subjects; the third term, unity, parties (execlational and political), pure national life, education and his famous foreign policy. A few brief excerpts follow:
"The unity of Government, which constitutes you one people, is also now dear to you. It is justly so: for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your government," he added of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very Liberty, which you so highly prize.
"In contemplating the causes which may disturb our Union, it occurs as a matter of serious concern, that any ground should have been furnished for characterizing parties by Georaphical discriminations, Northern and Southern, Atlantic and Western; whence designing men may endeavour to excite a belief, that there is a real difference on local interests and views."
"You cannot shield yourself too much against the jealousies and heartburns which spring from these misrepresentations; they tend to render alien those who ought to be bound together by fraternal affection."
...
Washington recognizes the inevitable evil of party politics and warns against them. Hesays: "This spirit, unfortunately, is inseparable from our nature, having its roots in the strongest passions of the human mind. It exists under different shapes in all governments, more or less stiffed, controlled, or suppressed; but, in those of the popular form, it is seen in its greatest rankness, and it is truly their worst enemy."
"Of all the dispositions and habits, which lead to political prosperity, Religion and Morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest of the duties of Men and Citizens."
For education he proclaims the following: "Promote them, as an object of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge. In proportion as the structure of a government gives force to public opinion, it is essential that public opinion should be enlightened."
"Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow citizens), the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake; since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of RepublicanGovernment."
Out of about eight hundred men students in Indiana University over one hundred are making all or a good part of their expense during the school year. This means that about fifteen per cent, or to be more exact, twelve and a half per cent of the students are self supporting. This takes into consideration only those who are working during the school year.
The following are other famous passages:
"The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is, in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible."
When it is remembered that this was written after a scant eight years of national life, the words assume an importance far beyond their simplicity. This wise Washington in this paper, the culmination of all his work and experience, shows that he is to be remembered not as the triumphant general, not as the wise, dignified President of the most remarkable government ever established; but as the seer, the statesman who with a broad, clarified view can peer far into the future of his beloved country and, for his own unselfish gratification, point out to it the grave dangers that were to beset it.
DEBATING V. FOOTBALL
When two teams are about to engage in a contest at football, basket ball or baseball, they are too nervous over the oncoming fray to be content and generous to their opponents at a banquet or a social function. It is hard for them to be gentlemanly and generous to each other. But not so in college debates and oratorical contests. The opposing teams can fight and haggle over the contested question during the "game," but when the "game" is over, they can lay aside their strife, shake hands and say, "Hail, well met, old fellow," and can go to the banquet hall and enjoy it, no matter who came out ahead in the context.
College debating makes men have the grit to hang on with the tenacious grip of a bull dog. It makes a man afraid of nothing, and when he is whipped, he doesn't know it and is just as ready to enter the ring gain.
This debating is an intellectual sport. They spend long, weary months in preparation for the final actual contest, which lasts only two hours. They go into training, they marshal their forces, they study, they calculate, they prophesy, in fact they do every conceivable thing they can to honorably win. It is not generally true that college debating is limited to the four disciplines of basketball, Uftrif, as leaders in football, basket ball, track, tennis, and even the most popular students of the school make good debates.
Harvard and Yale led off in debating in 1892. The following year Michigan and Wisconsin debated. Now, college debating is limited only by the number of schools, that have some kind of forensic contest; there being only one school in the United States of recognized standard that does not. There are one thousand debating teams of three men each, besides fifty or sixty more for each team who work in the try-out. They usually choose twelve men and take the best from them in their team. The debate in itself consists of addresses of fifteen minutes length by each member, then each is given five minutes in which to rebut testimony by the opposing team.
There are some things taken as being against college debates. One being that of manufacturing evidence that it leads to dishonesty. We are firmly of the opinion that when a fellow will manufacture evidence, he is already too far gone to be kept honest anyhow. Another is that they buy or borrow material, or that the coach writes it and the team learns it, both depriving the debater of that help and experience of looking up this matter. The latter is done away with by “firing” the coach, and the former by allowing only six or seven weeks for the debaters to prepare their debates, thus throwing them to succeed or fail as they themselves work and think.
But there are many real advantages from these debates. They are stepping stones to greater things to be done in the future. They stir the latent ambitions of many fellows who otherwise would remain logger-heads through their whole lives. Those who participate, acquire useful information, learn to confine discussion to essential points only, learn to be clear and forceful, learn to be committed to their opponents fairly and respect their cause. It teaches ease, grace, confidence in bearing and resourcefulness in public speech.
This article would not be complete without it being said that everyone of the above good things come to the honest, hardworking, members of our own literary societies. The same ease and grace and fairness comes to the man who carefully prepares and appears on every program where he is placed.
So if you belong to a literary society and are inclined to call debates dry and uninteresting, wake up and see the good there is lurking, especially for you, in all phases of fiction contest and literary work — From Century Magazine by ROLLO L. LYMAN, of the University of Wisconsin.

Paper Mailed to Principals—Filed on Student's Reading Table
GOES TO 380 HIGH SCHOOLS
Students reading the It is the ambition of the Daily Kansan to be read by every high-school student in the state. The paper is now sent to the principals of 380 high schools and by them is put on file where it can be read by students. From reports thus far received it is evident that the paper meets with a cordial reception in these schools and that, through its function as a clearing house for news in the secondary institutions of the state, it is to help for a healthy class consciousness in the schools and serve as an incentive to students to continue their pursuit of an education.
WILL INCREASE ITS STAFF
The Daily Kansan wishes to increase its staff of high-school correspondents to take in representatives from forty more schools. Applications are now being received and appointments made as rapidly as possible. It is expected that many schools will take action within a few days to see that their news shall appear in the Daily Kansan's columns.

FRUIT-RAISING A SCIENCI
Experiments in Cold-Storage Carried On—Measures to Reduce
Risks.
Everyone knows that the state of Kansas is dotted with orchards and that there has been more or less fruit raised in this state for the past fifty years. Everybody also knows that, for the most part, the orchards have been left to take care of themselves and that such fruit as has actually been cultivated has an unsupported fight against pests and blights and in spite of the handicap of growing on teers that knew nothing of the benefits of cultivation.
This goose has laid no golden egg, because of lack of ordinary care and the persistence of adverse conditions. But the goose is not dead, and there are men in Kansas who are giving most of their effort to the improvement of the conditions.
Professor S. J. Hunter of the University of Kansas, who is state entomologist for the south half of Kansas, is one of the leaders in pointing out to the farmers the costline of their lost opportunities as orchardists. He not only has his theories based on the research of other biologists but also has experience of an experimental orchardist by means of an experimental orchard tract near Lawrence which he manages.
Fruit Raising a Science.
Professor Hunter says that agriculture and horticulture are now as much as a science as is medicine. If a tree is sick it should be treated and the result will be better. Of the result from the use of medicine prescribed by a skilled physician.
"The agriculturists are just waking to the fact that fruit can be raised and be made more of a payoff crop than any other well-earned treat." says Professor Hunter.
"Fruit which is just as large and luscious as any that may be shipped in from the states can be raised automatically properly and sprayed systematically.
"There is another thing that the farmer does not realize. Fruit in the spring is worth a great deal more than in the fall. The farmer may keep his apples in his cellar fairly well until about the middle of February or the first of March. But after raising a good crop there is no use of following the guess-work method. Cold storage is the only answer to the problem.
Advantages of Cold Storage.
Advantages of Cold Storage.
"Although the apples which we raised last summer at our experiment farm were sable at about three times the price of apples from neighboring orchards we sold very few of them. We placed them in cold storage and along with them a self-recording thermometer so that the temperature for every minute is registered. The cost of cold storage is not great in comparison with the increased price obtained for the fruit. On a barrel of apples it costs 15 cents the first month, 10 cents the next and 5 cents for each succeeding month. The price in the spring will undoubtedly more than pay for this expense.
"For the man of small means horticulture ought to be the best business he could get into. A tenacre tract is more than enough to keep one man and team busy. For instance, he could plant the tract entirely with apple trees and thirty feet apart. Between these at lesser distances peach trees could be put in. Raspberry bushes might be put between the trees, and between the rows potatoes could be planted. The first year the potatoes would yield a good return and cabbage might be planted for a fall crop. The second year the potato crop would hardly be feasible but the rasberries would yield. The third year peaches would commence to bear. In the seventh year, at about the time the peach trees begin to decline, the apple trees would commence to bear and reaching the height of their productivity in their fourteenth year.

Measures to Reduce Risks
Measures to Reduce Ross
"Of course this is somewhat of a pipe-dream and with things running as smoothly as that you could have a man a millionaire in a short while. Scientific treatment does not guarantee against failures, but it reduces the risk to a minimum."
Among the recent measures taken to reduce risks and protect the nursery-man is that by the American Association of Nurserymen in co-operation with the entomological department of the University of Kansas. They will present a bill before the present session of Congress for the purpose of allowing Federal inspection of all nursery stock, fruits and vegetables imported to this country. There are over seventy insects and diseases now in the United States which are known to be injurious to plants. Of these, forty-three are known to have been imported from other countries. The purpose of the bill will be to stop this wholesale importation of injurious parasites.

Das Weihnachtstext im Deutschen
Wortes
Haben Sie jemals die Weihnachten in Deutschland zugebracht? Wenn nicht, so hätten Sie zu dem Weinanhastsfest des deutschen Vereins einen Augenblick. Vereinsmuster war überfüllt mit erwärmutungsvollen Studenten.
Natürlich sangen wir wuerzt „O Tannenbaum.“ Dann manch man sehr Zimmer dunkel und wir sahen sehr interessante Bilder aus dem deutschen Leben, die von Studenten und elhjjgen bei ihm ist. Professor Kieswetter, unsern Lektor, der das Programm arrangiert hatte, erklärt wurden.
Dasile erst Bild stellte einen armen, Soldaten dar, der Wache hiß im tiefen Schne (naturlich mussten wiruns den Schne zudenken), Während er mit dem Gewerh in der Hand da sind, ging ein Öffizier mit Frau und Tochter auf dem Weg zur Kirche vorbei. Der Soldat konnte nur salutieren, musste aber einsam auf seinem Posten verharren.
Zum Schusse wurde ein Weinnh劫bst bild aus deutschen Familienleben gegeben. In der Mitte stand natürlich der Weinnh劫bstbaum, mit Flittern und Lichtern geputzet. Zur rechten Seite sass der alte weihaarige Grossvater mit seiner sehr langen Pfife, und die alle Grossmutter in weisser Haube, die ihr仁enkelkind auf dem Schooos bleibt. Links stand der Vater, der sein paushbackiges Söhnchen auf den Schuiltern trug, und sich über dessen Trompetentione freue. Im Hintergrunge stand die älteste Tochter bei ihrem Verboten, einem Studenten, dem sie als Weihnachtgeschenk ein selbst gestiktes Kissen übereichte. Einige Knaben und Mädchen sagten kleine Gedichte auf, als der Weinh劫stmann erschien und die Gaben darreichte.
Das dritte Bild war ein truigures,
denn ein armes, kleines Mädchen
stand im tiefen Schnee und bot
Zündbüchndzum Verkaufe an,
die dürfte zwei Damen so, dass
sie ihr einige Pakte abkäften.
Nach diesem höchst interessanten Programm, sangen wir alle noch das schöne Lied „Stille Nacht,” und liessen usern dann Chokolade und deutsche Kuchen gut schmecken. Die Augen sind gingen fühlten wir alle, dass wir einer schönen Weihnachtsfeuer beigeholt hatten.

Die Aussicht von Mt. Oread.
Es mang sein, dass es hertlicherhe Ansichten in der Welt gibt, aber mieh sich nichts schoener als die Ausicht von Mt. Oread. Wenn man quer ueber das Tal nach Norden sieht, sie man zuerst die Kiefern auf dem Guehruelcken, weiter den grusigen Abhang, unten den Fusbaillfield. Dann kommt die Stadt und in der Ferne schimmert ein Stueck des Flusses. Oft sight man den Rauches Eisenbahnzungen, der den Lauf des Flusses entlang zieht. Noch ferner liegen niedrige Huegel, die im Herbst besonders schon aussehen, wenn ein purpurner Nebel daruber hauengt und unterliegt in der Schlange. Das DildABdurchsich immer und alle Tage zeigt sich uns eine neue Sehoehne, Deswegen wird man des Anblicks niemals satt.

Die Anfaenge einer Wohnung fuer
Studenten.
Auf einer Versammlung von ehemaligen Studenten der Kansas-Universitaet im Juni, 1911, wurde es abe-macht, dass man alle ehemaligen Studenten und Freunde der Universitaet um einen Fond bitte, zur Errichtung eines Studentinnenheimes. Der Plan ist, ein Gebaeude bauen zu lassen, das der Mittelpunkt von dem geselgenLeben der Studentinnen sein wird, ein Sammlplatzt für studentische Vereine und eine Wohnung fur etwa sechzig Damen mit einer tuechtigen Hauswirtin. Dieses Gebaeude kann vergroessert werden, wenn es neoitig werden solle. Die Notwendigkeit eines solchen Gebaeudes wird von allen eingesehen, welche die Universitaet kennen. Die Studentinnen, etwa hundert an der Zahl, jefett jetzt Wohnungen in den Buergern von Lawrence und in sechs clubs oder Vereinhausnerm. Die steigende Zahl von Studentinnen auf der Universitaet hat ein neuen Problem mit sich gebracht.
Grosse Massen koennen ohne Organisation nicht erfolgreich zusammenarbeiten. Wenn die Universität ein solches Haus als Mittelpunkt fuer eine solche Organisation nicht schaffen kann, so wird viel von dem Vorteil des Studentenlebens verloren gehen. Die Damen auf der Universitat und ehemalige Students haben sich zu bestimmten Summen辉附lich; nun hat the Plan eine sehr guengeistie Aussicht auf Erufnung.

Die Universitaetsmusterschule. Die Universityatamuserchule hat ihr erstes Semester vollendet. Wenn sie auch eine neue Schule ist, so ist sie doch eine erfolgreiche. Die Schule hat den Zweck, die Studenten in Unterrichtsmethoden auszubilden. Es sind gegenwärtig 88 Schüler mit 39 Lehrstudenten. Auch helfen 13 professionelles Professoren, abgeben von Hernn Professor Trettien, der Schuldrektor ist und wengensen its Tag um den anderen alle Klassen besucht.
Die Schule umfasst alle Lehrfaecher der offentlichen Hochschule; sie heiest auch "The Orcad High School." Die Naturkunde und die Physiologie mit guten Apparaten besonders vorrefflich. Bald wird man noch andere Kurse hinzufugeen,—den Handarbeitsunterricht, die Haushaltsungskunde, die Physik. Man rechnet auf mehr Schüler im naechsten Semester.

WHERE CREDIT IS DUE
The students in the department of German are entitled to credit for the news and editorial matter and the feature stories which are printed in German in this number of the Daily Kansan. The six thousand and high-school students who receive this number of the paper will find it well worth their time—and any effort it may take—to read what the more advanced students of the German language have written for their entertainment and information. The University graduates and other on the regular list of the Daily Kansan's readers are advised to dust off their German dictionaryies and put in a profitable hour reading the special page of today's issue.

AMERICAN LITERATURE HAS HIGHEST IDEALS
Edgar Allen Poe Professo Says Our Authors Are Truly Inspired
OUOTES PROFESSOR CARRUTI
Selection from "Each in His Own Tongue" Used to Show Divine Significance of True Ideals.
That American literature is the most idealistic, was the opinion of Prof. Alphonso Smith, expressed in his lecture in Fraser hall Wednesday afternoon. And, not only is our literature redolent of ideals beyond common comparison, but the idealism itself is of an exalted type. Its aim is not mere self culture; it is rather the ideal of service to the race.
"Ideal" is a word of many meanings," said Professor Smith. "It's presence in literature and language must be known by two qualities. First it must be active and propulsive. Second it must be unattainable.
"An ideal is an energized idea. It is not merely the intention and the hope, but it must have the intensive force that accomplishes the deed. It must be not passive, but active; not static, but dynamic."
The lecturer then quoted from Professor Carruth's "Each in his own Tongue," to show the divine impulse of the ideal, and to connect the longing after the ideal with the idea of its inaccessibility.
"After an ideal is caught, it is no ideal" said the Professor. "When a man has overtaken his ideal, he is doomed.
"Browning was the poet laureate of idealism. His Andrea Dalarto overtook the ideal; he became the 'faultless painter.' A man's reach should exceed his grasp," observes the listless artist, "or what's a heaven for?" here again is the idea that supreme idealism is never attained on earth."
In speaking of literature nationally, however, Professor Smith declared that American literature, presented the most examples of dominating idealism, especially in lyric poetry. These examples, he said, were no accidents, but the characteristic work of representative authors.
"Longfollows's Excelsior," he maintained, "is the watch of idealsism
The speaker also mentioned Emerson's "The Forwentners" Poe's "El Dorado," Holmes" "Chambered Nautilus" Lowell' L'envoi to the Muse", Whittier' the Vanishers' and Sydney Lanier' The Song of the Chattaihoochee" as exemplifying the
university of American literary idealism.
"That these seven representative poems," he said, "written by as many characteristic authors, have found so many places in the hearts of readers that they are a crime. It is the true index of the poets whose some ideals of the American people."

Little Gray Bird Searche Bark for $ ^{1} $ His Meal of Noxious Insects
BROWN CREEPER THE CAMPUS TREE DOCTOR
A diminutive surgeon in a suit of gray, is the brown creeper, a little bird that frequents the trees of the campus. This feathered visitor is a tree surgeon, for his business is to get beneath the bark of the trees where he examines removes the insect parasites that may be wintering in such sheltered places.
"He does his work with faithful exactness, but with little spirit." All day long he can be seen silently climbing up tree trunks, with his peculiar spiral motion, and only once in a while uttering a fine, thin " screeel." It takes him just about fifty seconds to finish a tree.
A visitor to the museum was ex-
carping the labels on the case labelled
"Britannica."
"He is only a winter resident, leaving us in the spring for the spruce woods of the North, where, under a piece of loosened bark on some dead tree, his mate who is identical in coloring, builds a nest, while he flits about, keeping her company and singing to her as she works."
"The brown creeper is an admirable example of the imitation of environment for protection in bird life," said Miss Arta Briggs, who classifies the bird specimens in the Museum.
PROF, BLACKMAR SPOKE THREE TIMES IN A DAY
"This flat little bird might be taken for a piece of animated bark, so far has nature carried her protective coloring with him. The dull white underparts, and his salt and pepper coat of brown and grayish white blend perfectly with the grays and browns of the tree trunks.
Prof. F. W. Blackman spoke to the Current Event's Club of Fort Scott, Kas. last Monday on the subject of "Reforms." He next spoke at a six o'clock dinner. At eight o'clock of the same day he lectured in the Convention hall on the "Sociological Phase of Education."
"He is splendidly adapted to his assigned work in Nature," continued Miss Briggs, "to clear rough-barked trees of insect eggs and larvae. His little curved bill enables him to examine every crevice; his strong little feet hold him close to the bark, while his long, elastic, stiffened tail feathers, which allow the trunk, serves as a camp stool, or better still, a bracket.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
TEACHING PLUS DIRECT SERVICE TO THE STATE
University of Kansas a Striking Example of Modern Ideas in Education
SCOPE GREATLY EXTENDED ___
No Citizen Too Far Removed Today But That He May Draw on HIS University
Not less revolutionary than modern notions as to woman's place in affairs are the present day conceptions as to the proper place and work of a University, particularly a University supported by the state.
Always aware of its obligation to give as great direct returns to the state as its equipment and funds permitted, the University of Kansas has within the past ten years made great strides into new fields of usefulness, and at present is entering upon a plan of expansion that will place it abreast of the one university which has heretofore held the lead in doing practical work.
Lack of funds for state work has been a serious handicap in the past. Sometimes when emergencies have arisen, as in the case of danger threatening the health of the state and calling for work by the pure food and drug laboratories or the bacteriological laboratories, or danger to the crops of the state demanding instant attention from the entomological or horticultural departments, it has been necessary to employ funds set aside for other purposes. Then the warning has been heard that the University was forgetting its prime purpose of giving higher education to the Kansas youth.
Purpose of the University
But no University of Kansas administrator has ever lost sight of that purpose as laid down in the state constitution; "For the promotion of literature, and the arts and sciences, including a normal and agricultural department." Nothing in the academic work of the school warrants the charge that it has lost the vision of what a true university should aim at—in the words of John Henry Newman—"Raising the intellectual tone of society, cultivating the public mind, purifying the national taste, supplying true principles of popular enthusiasm and fixed aims to popular aspiration, giving enlargement and sobriety to the ideas of the age, facilitating the exercise of political power, and refining the intercourse of private life."
The University has not been forgetful of its duties as a teaching institution; in fact it has broadened its scope in this field by reaching out into the state for the purpose of taking its educational facilities to those who are not able to enroll in its resident classes.
Correspondence Work
Three years ago the division of University Extension was established. Courses by correspondence were offered soon afterwards, and this year a special organizer has been put into the field to explain the advantages which the University offers through its mail department. It is now proposed to broaden still further the extension work by establishing in the principal cities of the state extension centers under the supervision of a local manager. This manager will direct the formation of classes, will distribute the printed matter sent out by the instructors and will arrange courses of lectures by professors at the head of the departments offering the work.
As an example of the manner in which the teaching function of the University grows into something broader, the recent history of the School of Medicine may be cited. This school was organized some years ago to turn out educated physicians. It was not long, however until opportunities for usefulness outside of the school itself began to develop. It was found possible to make bacteriological and chemical analyses for physicians of the state and thus aid in the treatment of disease. Analyses in typhoid cases and in cases of hydrophobia were made as early as 1903. For two years the University furnished an expert lecturer to conduct the tuberculosis exhibit sent out through the
state under the auspices of the State Board of Health.
This fall at Rosedale a new hospital was dedicated for the use of the School of Medicine and for the benefit of the state generally. It is a state hospital at which cases of indigent poor may receive treatment and in which particular attention will be given to the treatment of deformed children. Two baffling diseases, pellagra and infantile paralysis, have been studied by experts in the School of Medicine, and experiments are now under way to discover by the use of guinea pigs and monkeys the cause of pellagra and its possible cure.
It is proposed, if possible, to establish a hygienic clinic in the school for the purpose of studying cases of defective children and prescribing treatment. It is hoped that the means may be secured of offering to the people of the state generally advice in any needed cases for the care and treatment of backward or defective children.
In such departments as those on entomology and geology the activities of the instructors have far exceeded the original purpose of teaching the subject to students. The head of the Department of Entomology, for example, devotes the greater part of his time to his work as a member of the State Entomological Commission, looking after the welfare of orchards, vineyards and cereals half of the entire state. The head of the State Geologym of Geology is also State Geologist that capacity has issued reports of great value to Kansas industries. Such work as the survey and test of Kansas clays now being conducted, leads to the opening up of opportunities for new industries by the use of Kansas raw materials.
Formerly the curator of the museum devoted his time netely to that work. Two years ago, however, the University lent him to the state in order that he might perform the work of the Warden. He is now giving all of his time to this work under the direction of the Board of Regents.
The Fish Hatchery
The building at Pratt of the largest fish hatchery in the world has recently been authorized. It is now proposed to show the whole state the advantages of fish culture; the method by which every farmer may raise his own fish in his own ponds The Committee of Efficiency, appointed by the Kansas Commission of Higher Education, reported last week in favor of still further broadening this work by putting into the institutes courses in fish culture in order that teachers might be prepared to give such instruction.
When it was originally organized the school of Engineering was a teaching institution solely. It is still a teaching institution with some four hundred students, and a list of graduates numbering almost five hundred. But its expansion in the line of state work has been even more pronounced than its growth in number of students. One of its professors gives practically his whole time to problems of water supply and sewage disposal plants and sanitary engineering in connection with the State Board of Health. The testing laboratories handle almost daily some problem as to the best materials for road making, gas engineer and their operation, testing Kansas brick, cement and concrete. By recommendation of the Committee on Efficacy it is proposed that a high grade department of architecture be established and the plans be furnished free to counties and municipalities for all kinds of public improvements.
Pure Food for Kansas
In the chemical laboratories of the University experiments by students to master the intricacies of their subjects are carried on side by side with the extensive investigations of the Pure Food and Drug experts, the analyses of the natural waters in Kansas and of the water supplies of cities and towns, and analysis of milk in connection with the State Board of Health.
Pure Food for Kansas
A particularly interesting development of the work in chemistry is that of the industrial fellowships, of which there are now almost a score. The expense of these fellowships borne by private industrial organizations, but at the end of a short term of years, whatever discoveries have been made become the property of the public. Improvements in such matters as laudering, bread making, the manufacture of glass varnish and cement, the utilization of by-products from petroleum, the animal use of the glands of whales, etc., has already suggested the enhancement of the work into a school of specific industries. The courses in the Whale School
being given along various lines of business administration will, if the recommendation of the Committee on Efficiency is followed, be coalesced into an organized course, which shall cover business in its higher relations and, finally, issue in a School of Business Administration, in which young people may be fitted for a business profession.
The influence which the University has had on High School teaching in the state, through the establishment of academic requirements and its Department of High School Visitation, has been broadened by the organization two years ago of a complete School of Education. It is through this school that work intended to improve the mental physical and moral conditions of the young people in the lower grades is to be supervised. An investigator skilled in the subject of abnormalities in children was employed to plan and inaugurate the work this year.
A new feature of University work recommended by the Committee is its ability to integrate information in
With the completion of the new Administration Building, the first wing of which was occupied this fall the University will celebrate its fiftieth anniversary. The anniversary comes in 1916, and it is hoped that the Administration Building may be completed by that time. The University has granted about 4,500 degrees and has more than four thousand living graduates. About half of the graduates reside in Kane-

TALES OF MONEY WONT LURE
Summer "Get-Rich-Quick Work" to be investigated by Bureau.
No more tales of fabulous fortunes from selling books during the summer will move a student to pay his cash for a prospectus, practice his "spiel" and go on the journey to "clean-up." That is, these tales will not have any weight with the Missouri students if the Y. M. C. A. employment bureau succeeds in putting through plans.
The Y. M. C. A. plan is to get the net results of the men who have gone out on these ventures. Where the particular plan seems good, from the figures and the statements the student who contemplates signing up for the deal can see what he is going into. This will not be limited to the book companies, but the results of every kind of business which draws students every summer, will be investigated. The Y. M. C. A. can then recommend the promising schemes.
The bureau will keep on hand the
names of working students who wish to take up this kind of work. They have on file applications from book companies, insurance men, calendar houses, aluminium ware and leather novelty dealers, map publishers and other businesses that desire men. The Review of Reviews will send a circulation man down to sign men to present magazine club offers to the public. One Iyceum bureau needs a man to promote concerts in Columbia.
The bureau will be run for the first time to aid the self-supporting summer school students.
The athletes who seek the harvest fields this summer for brawn and muscle will have a chance to know just where to go. J. S. More, Y. M. C. A. secretary, has written to the Kansas State Agricultural Commissioner for a list of the fields which need the hands—From University Missourian.

DRUG CHEMISTS ARE BADLY OVERWORKED
Laboratory Receives no Help From State Because of
Injunction
The drug laboratory of the School of Pharmacy has been put to a great deal of inconvenience lately, because of the number of samples of linseed oil which have been received for analysis.
The last meeting of the legislature enacted a law providing for the analysis of lined oil, but an injunction has since been served against the enforcement of that law. On accusations of embezzlement by drillers in Topcka are prohibited from the inspection which the new enactment calls for.
Dean L. E. Sayre, of the School of Pharmacy, when asked concerning the conditions, said: "This injunction has made it extremely difficult for the drug laboratory to satisfy the growing demand on the part of dealers and consumers. Samples of linseed oil are sent in nearly every day with requests for reports on the same. As the law has more pledged to make these a regular occurrence of this sort, an extraordinary strain has been upon the department to accommodate the individuals who have been asking for help.
"The department is supposed to confine itself solely to articles sent in by inspectors, but the consumers do not know this, and the laboratory as well as the University is put in an awkward position, because, until the law can be legally administered whatever is done in the way of an analysis is purely an accommodation. This is necessary in this accommodation, and so the chemists are forced to work over time, holidays included.
"When we are asked to analyze something for a retailer the only thing we can do is to charge for the materials used in the analysis. The inspectors, of course, can send no samples in until the matter of the injunction has been settled."
Taft Wins at Dartmouth

JAYHAWK TRAVELERS
GINCH CHAMPIONSHIP
Take. Two Contests From the Tigers at Columbia, Missouri
By Staff Correspondent
Columbia, Feb. 22.-By winning the game tonight Kansas successfully established herself as champion of the southern division of the Missouri valley conference. To maintain her present position as champion of the whole section she must now defeat the northern leader, Nebraska.
Kansas played in fine form in both games here and could not be held back by the desperate efforts of the Titers.
Kansas was greatly aided by the fact that there were two officials on the floor making rough play on the part of their heavy opponents impossible.
From here the Kansas five will go to St. Louis where they will meet Washington University in two game. The Jayhawkers have already defeated this team in two games on the Lawrence court.
This makes the record of Tiger-Jayhawker games in the past four years stand seventeen to one in favor of the latter.
Wednesday Night's Game
Kansas slipped their third straight basket-ball defeat over the Tigers Wednesday night when Hamilton's men won the most interesting game of the season from Field's proteges to the tune of 39 to 24.
The light Kansas five played past their heavier opponents at all stages of the game and from the time that Smith slipped the ball into the basket for the first count of the game Kansas was in the lead. The Kansas guards would take the ball on long dribbles down the floor, pass to the forward and there would be another score for the Red and Blue
In the first half the visiting Jay-
hawkers ran away from the home
toissers piling up a score of 22 while
the Tigers were amassing 8 points.
In the second half the Tigers appeared to better advantage and scored point for point with the Jayhawker quint.
For Kansas "Red" Brown was the particular star of the game; his shots for goals seldom failed to negotiate scores for the Red and Blue and his guarding kept his formidable opponent Edwards helpless.
The play of the Kansas team was particularly free from fouling while the Missourians were penalized 14 times. Snodgrass was removed from the game for fouls.
Captain Parker of Missouri was injured in the second half and forced to quit the game.

Thursday Night's Game
Missouri fought hard in their last chance at the Kansas basket-ball team tonight but lost 26 to 32 after a desperate battle. The Jayhawkers as is their custom jumped into the lead in the first half overtaking a four point lead that the Tigers had gained in their feverish efforts of the first few minutes. The half ended 12 to 8 with the Jayhawks on the long end.
The Tigers opened the second half with the determination to do or die and soon caught their western rivals. Tiger habits of rough play cost them their chance however and from then on Kansas scored at will
Captain Stuckey and Star-sired for Kansas while Captain Parker did the best work for Missouri. The Tiger he led won the first half because of injuries to his ankle received in the game last night.

COLLEGE FIVE LOSES
Students' Headquarters for 30 Years
Wanderers Suffer Deafat at the Hands of the Terrible
Swedes
By Staff Correspondent.
Lindsborg, Feb. 22—The Bethany college basket-ball team defeated the visiting College five of Kansas University last night by a score of 40 to 18. The College team showed better form in the Aggie game but were overwhelmed by the fast play of the Bethany quintette.
The first half was a neck and neck contest which ended with the Swedes hoarding a two point lead, the score being 11 to 9.
The Swedes came back strong in the second half and demonstrated their familiarity with the angles of the Swedes' six sided gym by running up 29 points while the College was scoring 9.
Hultquist was the star of the Bethany five shooting seven goals in the last half, all from different angles.

Mineapolis Reds Cleaned College Boys by a 36 to 17
By Walter Hake (Special Correspondent)
Minneapolis, February 28 —The Minneapolis Athletic Club basketball five defeated the College team of the University of Kansas here tonight by a score of 17 to 36.
The Minneapolis Reds started out with a rush and had counted 19 points by the end of the half. The K. U. team lacking work and handicapped by the small court were at the mercy of the Reds scoring but 4 points.
Crawford starred for Kansas and Woodard and Whitaker did the superior work for the Red team Woody played the same worrying game that K. U. students know so well and to his tactics was largely due the lead gained by the Reds in the first half.
In the second half the Kansas team showed improvement and held the Reds to an even score. Minneapolis people were pleased by the clean playing of the Kansas five.

Prof. J. N. Van der Vries, who recently left the University on account of his health, is not improving as rapidly as he had hoped.
In a letter written to Prof. U, S. G. Mitchell, Mr. Van der Vries said that he and his wife are just starting on a tenting trip southeast of El Paso, Texas, in the Rio Grande valley. He thinks that the excellent climate will soon benefit him, and he will live in the open air until he regains his strength.

Fifty Minutes Except After Long Chapel—No Excuses For Tardiness or Hold-over Classes
If the University Council approves the recommendation adopted by the Deans at a meeting Saturday morning, the schedule of classes will be changed to allow for ten minute intervals, and the signals for the dismissal of classes and the calling of the succeeding classes will be given by the whistle on the power house. The plan was worked out by Dean Templin.
The class periods under the new system will be fifty minutes instead of fifty-five, except that classes whose members all remain in the same building for the succeeding period may be held an extra five minutes.
The new system is designed to do away with all the confusion that now exists on account of variation in the speed of University time pieces, from the Physics clock (zero) up. It will remove the difficulty of dividing the time after Friday's chapel.

BLACKMAR DEFINES CAUSES OF CRIMES
Blames Poverty for Vice and Then Uncovers Poverty's Sources
Notwithstanding the inclement weather on Sunday, Prof. F. W. Blackman addressed a large audience at the second of his series of lectures on "Social Problems." He took up the subject, "The Prevention of Vice and Crime," and showed its close relation to poverty and the social conditions of life.
"It if were not for our wasteful methods," Professor Blackmar said, "a man could work twenty years longer than he now does, and live to be one hundred and twenty years old. By thoroughly applying our present medicinal and sanitary measures, the death-rate could be lowered 10 per cent. To raise the efficiency of the average laborer, and improve the conditions under which he labors can we hope to cope with the problem of vice and crime.
"Much of our poverty and crime comes as a result of unwise marriage and then the improper training of children. The injustices in our pre-eminent works also lead many workers to dishonest practices and lives of open vies."
Professor Blackman advocated as measures calculated to improve these conditions, the closer regulation of marriage, old-age pensions, workmen's compensation, and the profit-sharing system in industrial concerns. In order for橘en may not grow up on criminal charges, the adoption by municipalities of playgrounds, fresh-air farms, and more sanitary conditions in the schools.
"It is better to pay a boy $4 a week, while he attends high-school," said Professor Blackmar, "rather than have him lose an education because of poverty. And then, when you get him in the school, give him manual training along with his Latin and Geometry. When he attends the high schools sends out their graduates without the necessary training for an independent economic life."
Next Sunday, Professor Blackman will continue the courses with a lecture on "Recreation and Amusement," at Meyers hall.

PROF. BAILEY'S CAT—HE DOES A 40-MILE HIKE
"And the cat came back."
"And the cat came back."
Wouldn't you give a cat credit for having pretty good sense—or whatever you choose call it—if it could find its way back to Lawrence from Kansas City, 40 miles overland, alone, unaided, in a week?
"Peter Pan" was then able to "come back." Peter is a blooded Angora, eighteen-months old, *v Christmas gift* to Mrs. E. H. S. Bailey, the prize pet of the entire Bailey family.
However, when Professor Bailey and his family left for Europe a short time ago, Peter Pan could not go 'long to go' the creamy-tipped Alps, or perhaps, to improve his batting average among the stolid unskillfully German field-mice. So Dr. Wm. Bailey would spend his vacation in Kansas City with one of Professor Bailey's sons, Dr. Wm. Bailey.
That was on a Sunday. The following Tuesday, Peter Pan was rendered desolate by the departure of

Vaughn, New Mexico, Feb. 25.—Owing to the glarez which have been encountered the Glee Club was unable to give the concert which was scheduled for this town at 3:15 afternoon. The train carrying the special ear was four hours late. Despite the unfavorable weather conditions, the boys had been on hand and the boys have been cordially received in every town visited.
The next concert will be given at Albuquerque, New Mexico, tomorrow night. There will be no change in the remaining part of the schedule.
Word was received today that Professor Hubach's mother is very low. He will leave for home at once. His parents will be taken by Dodge and Musselman.
the Bailey's from Kansas City. Just what his feelings were we can only guess; it enough to know that s week later a sadly-bedragged, tired much-in-need-of-a-boath, Peter Par straggled into the Bailey back yard in Lawrence and was soon thereafter seen longingly asking for a "hand out" at the kitchen of Mrs. O'Bryan next door to the Bailey residence.
Word received from Professor Hubach in the Daily Kansas office this morning said that he will go through Lawrence at 4:35 this afternoon. His mother's home is in Kansas City, Kansas.
OLD GRADS PLAY IRISH
FOR BENEFIT OF ANNUAL
Minneapolis High School, Feb. 22—(By W. O. Hake, Special Correspondent)—What may be called the climax of our social events was held in the high school building Friday evening. It was called "The Carnival of Nations," given by the Senior class and high school faculty. Eight of the leading nations of the world were represented with costumes, eats and drinks. Principal Earl Woodward, a former graduate of K. U. with his green swallow tailed coat, white trousers and clay pipe, offered amusement in his representation of a typical Irishman. The carnival was held to raise money to pay for the Annual. The total receipts were $150 with $30 expenses, netting the class $120.
“This is not a case of the prodigal son,” Peter hastened to explain, as he attacked the “fatted calf” extended from his mouthy son. “I simply had to ‘come back’”
Mankato High School, Feb. 19—(By Irene Ruggles, Special Correspondent)—The Mankato high school has met the need of social intercourse by monthly receptions given by each class in turn. Special papers are prepared and read and music rendered by the students.
A high school orchestra was recently organized under the leadership of Mr. G. O. Kirkpatrick. The orchestra consists of five violins, two cornets, a slide trombone, and tuba, and the piano. Each program is followed with light refreshments.

"Still, Peter has always lived entirely out of doors and subsisted on his own resources—so much so that it will be hard to get anyone to take care of him, now that Mrs. Bailey is gone, as he is wild and undomesticated, what would call an all-round cat. If any one cares to take care of him, I am sure Mrs. Bailey would appreciate it."

KANSAS BRAINS ARE QUICKEST TO LEARN
Cost of Higher Education i This State Much Less Than Elsewhere
The Outlook for February 24 contains an article by William Allen White entitled, "Free Kansas." Mr. White begins with the period immediately following the Civil War and traces the political, social and economic development of Kansas to the present day. He discusses the educational conditions of Kansas, and commends our state schools with those of other commonwealths.
Mr. White shows how modern business principles are applied to the state institutions. "A comparison of the cost of higher education in Kansas and in other states is illuminating. The per capita cost to Kansas for normal school education is about $75, for the Agricultural College the cost per capita is $107, and for the State University it is about $171, making an average cost per capita in the higher institutions of learning, $117. Now the average per capita cost for higher education in eleven states having institutions that rank equal to those of Kansas—states like Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska and Michigan—is $202, making a saving in Kansas of 42 per cent over the average cost in the country for similar education."

Intra-university Mail Amount to More than 4000 Pieces a Month

SNOWBOUND STUDENTS SWAM TO COMMONS
Most of the mail is business communication from the Secretary to the offices in the various buildings, from the Deans to their instructors, and between the professors. Two collections are made each day, each one requiring about an hour and a quarter.
The largest collection on any day was 493, on February 13, which would almost make one believe that Valentines were surreptiously smuggled in under the guise of business letters.
Of the whole amount, Fraser hall contributed 3624, twelve times as any other building while the Library gave but 8.
WICHITA EDITOR SPEAKS
IN CHAPEL AT 4:30 TODAY
Henry Allen, editor of the Wichita Beacon arrived today at noon from Kansas City and will speak in chapel at Fraser hall 430, and again this evening at the City Y. M. C. A. from 7:15 to 8 o'clock.
Percolator Runs Dry, Soup Vanishes, Likewise the Toothsome Pie
GIRLS RUSH TO THE RESCUET
More Coffee, More Soup, (No More
Pie), and Nearly Two Hundred
Lives Saved.
Snowbound students swarmed into the basement of Fraser hall this noon and forced the University Commons to its entire capacity. The fact that all came at the same time at 12:15 caused a delay, and the line extended a hundred feet from the entrance of the dining hall.
Scientific methods were abandoned for a few minutes while Miss Day and her students in the domestic science department filled the orders of the hungry students. A request for a cup of coffee brought forth a started cry from one of the college cooks, when the 60-gallon nickel plated percolator failed to yield the brown liquid. Miss Day saw the predicament, stepped on a chair and poured in a kettle of boiling water.
The soup ran out before half of the line had been supplied, and a clugging of tomatoes in a vessel, was followed in less than five minutes by a plentiful supply of rich tomato soup. The most disappointing feature which resulted from the rush was the fact that the last piece of pie went to a bright eyed freshman while a dozen or more upper-classmen-were forced to stand in their places and devour the precious dessert with their eyes.
The domestic scientists promise that during the present cold spell and while the snow makes it difficult to go down, it will provide plenty of everything will be prepared.

"We have selected the stages used at the 'Alice in Wonderland' performance two years ago," said Miss Beulah Murphy, president of the Women's Student Government Association.
"They are the open space in front of Fraser hall, the plot in front of Blake hall, the amphitheater west of Green hall, and the little grove between the Medic building and Snow hall."
BY NICKERSON, 27 TO 28
Hutchinson High School, Feb. 22.
-(By Art Frost, Special Correspondent)-Saturday evening the boys' team played the Nickerson Basket Ball team at the latter place, and held a lead over the Reno county players till the last minute, when the Nickerson boys came back with a remarkable burst of speed and nosed a victory from Hutchinson by a narrow margin of one point. The final score was 28 to 27. The game was filled with exciting plays and brilliant goal shooting, the Hutchinson team getting their share, and they certainly deserve praise for making such a creditable showing.

GRADS ENJOY FEARFUL AND WONDERful STUNTS
The Ancients Held Big Fiesta in Westminster hall Friday and Forgot Their Dignity.
The members of the Graduate School were entertained at Westminster hall last Friday evening. A good crowd was present and some unique forms of entertainment were devised by the social committee.
The feature of the evening was a backward spelling match. Little five letter words were hurled at the grads in such deadly form that the bravest linguistic contortionist was vanquished at the end of six minutes. The most terrible weapon used was the apparently harmless little word "tick-tock," which at one blow swept over half of that erudite host from the field of battle.
Realizing the dignity and standing of the organization, chapel services were held during the evening in which members of the club gave the silent personnel of the chapel dignitaries; after a prelude by "Dean Kilton," "Chancellor Strong" led the service. "Professor Know-it-all," president of the association, gave an interesting talk on "The Importance of the Graduate club as an Organization." "Professor Hubach" led the singing.
METER FAMILY METE OUT MUCH MOISTURE
Though in a Frozen State It Will Not Last Very
Long
The Meter family with a single accord got on one pebble of a rampage yesterday and had a great big jollification, with things going all their own way. Gas Meter thought he needed work, but Thermo Meter could not let his spirits fall unless he had the co-operation of Baro Meter. The plot grew thicker and both Thermo and Gas approached Baro with persuasion, threats and finally bribes. He yielded and the foul work commenced. The wind began to blow, the skies became overcast, snow began to fall. Gas Meter laughed in great glee as he spun 'round and 'round with the merry little clicker saying "Two bits a thousand. Two bits a thousand." The Anemo Meter family not being able to resist the temptation joined in the friddle with a happy bur as they measured the velocity of th
Papa Anemo Meter doesn't generally join in on the foolishness that Anemo Jr. commences. He stays stationary up on top of Frasen hall looking down admiringly at his active son and thinking his lucky stars (if he has lucky stars) that the days of his activity are over. He leaves most of the work to Anemo Jr., but yesterday he couldn't resist the temptation and he too got on the spree which his cousins had started and he whirred and whirred around even faster than his worthy offspring.
Snow Meter, imbued with the spirit of the day, also got full and measured his souse by an even five inches of snow.
The great jollification is now over however, and the entire Meter outfit, in great humiliation on the "morning after the night before," has announced that they will now be good and that it will be generally fair and warmer tonight and Tuesday.
Miss Louise Fleming, a junior in the College, has been appointed instructor in the Dickinson county high school.

Prof. Rice Official Starter.
Prof. H. A. Rice as toastmaster officially "turned on the gas," and proved himself to be an excellent man for the position.
Plumer Wheeler, chemical engineer of the sulphuric acid plant in Kansas City, Kansas, was the first speaker, and had for his subject, "The Selecting of Standards." He advocated the duodecimal or 2-4-6-12 system of standards, as opposed to the metric orbicrical system.
Dean L. E. Young, of the Missouri School of Mines, at Rolla, took for his subject the "Conservation of Time." He said in part, "A great movement for the conservation of the natural resources and of human life is sweeping over the country at the present time, but a movement for the conservation of time is needed just as badly. Time should be used in the most effective manner and everything that is undertaken should be done with a definite purpose. It would help so if himself that he can do his particular job just a little better than anyone else could do it. The engineer should also have so much interest and zeal in his work that it will become a pleasure rather than a task."
Railroad Man Talks.
C. F. Felt, of Topeka, chief engineer of the Santa Fe, spoke on "The Development of a Railway." Mr. Felt said that after a railway was constructed, the work of the engineer had only begun. Equipment must be constantly improved, faster and more efficient train service rendered, traveling safety increased, and the road expanded from time to time."
"An engineer's success depends upon three things: getting a job, knowing how to do it, and getting the money for it. The most successful engineers are the ones who can make a dollar perform the most work," said Mr. Felt. "The Regulation of Public Utilities was the subject of Carl C. Witt's address. Mr. Witt is from Topeka, and is engineer for the State Public Utilities Commission. He called attention to the obligations which the engineer owed to his state and community in the solving of the many civil problems which were constantly arising. He showed how the engineer should see to it that the corporations serving the public should not over-step their rights of practice discrimination in any form.
Dean Marvin Gives Advice.
Dean F. O. Marvin spoke of the great responsibility resting upon the engineer, and stated that an engineer's education does not end with his graduation from a technical school, but continues throughout his life.

GOV. WOODROW WILSON
The University has welcomed many noted men to address the student body, but the visit of Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey last Friday was of peculiar interest to all university people. All his life Mr. Wilson has been a university man; he is doubly interesting at present because he is a university man in politics, and because he is a candidate for the presidential nomination of the Democratic party this year.
Wilson is a great scholar and statesman. He is a great thinker who knows how to do things. As president of Princeton University he became a powerful progressive leader in educational affairs; as governor of New Jersey he has accomplished most remarkable things for the people of his state. Even with a Republican senate in the state legislature to oppose him, Governor Wilson has succeeded in fulfilling every pledge of the Democratic platform on which he was elected.
Woodrow Wilson is a man with the highest purposes. He is a man with firm convictions of the noblest kind. He is heart and soul a democrat.
Governor Wilson is a powerful speaker because his thinking is clear and his language is forceful. He is an orator of the modern school He has definite opinions, and his opinions command respect. It is fitting that the students of the University should consider the visit of Dr. Wilson to Mt. Oread an event of the first magnitude.
William Allen White has appeared during February in three leading publications of the United States, The Saturday Evening Post, the Outlook, and the University Daily Kansan.
A CREW
With two feet of snow covering the ground and with a foot of ice on the river, it may seem inappropriate to suggest that the University ought to have a rowing crew. The "Kaw" offers every possible advantage for this sport and contests with Washburn, the Agricultural College, and colleges that are situated near large bodies of water.
Rowing in most of the Eastern schools is a major sport and takes equal rank with football, track, and baseball. At Cornell it is the big sport of the university.
Coach Sherwin says that one of the things that puzzled him when he came to the University from Dartmouth was that with all the facilities that the University has for good crew work no effort is made by the students to add this sport to their athletic curriculum.
And why not? An effort is going to be made this week to ascertain whether or not the students desire a crew.
Think it over.
ANOTHER ONE GONE
Once upon a time, someone with a lump in his throat muscled, "one by one the leaves are falling." Just so today a number of ambitious studies
form a mournful chorus, the burden of whose songs is "one by one the grafts are falling," with an addendum, "and those now left are mighty 'ew.'"
The recent announcement that the management of the Glee club is henceforth to be on the honor basis the profits of the club to be turned over to the Students Enterprise Association, will cause keen regret among a number of University men who haddesign on this little "graft."
It was not many years ago that to manage the Glee club meant to make enough money to take one mar through a year of school. Within the past few years this has been changed somewhat, but until the recent action of the club there was still a trace of the old system.
However it is all changed now and by the action of gleemen themselves they have placed their manager among the list of University notables who are now serving their Alma Mater for honor, glory, and renown only.

ROWING AT COLUMBIA
ROVING AT THE COLUMBIA Spectator has the following to say on their crew schedule:
The schedule prepared by the management for the crews, is the most comprehensive in several years. The most noteworthy part about it is that we are to row one of the big colleges—Princeton, before June. We have not done that since the last Harvard race—we have not had a chance to pull past a Tiger eight in a good many seasons. They are just taking up the sport again, but, although it is too early to get much of a line on them, we won't exactly be rowing novices. An important thing is that the race will be near enough to our graduates in New York for them to attend— those who find Philadelphia and Poughkeepsie too far. When they do see it it will mean more interest on their part in rowing and other athletic affairs here. The schedule will keep the crews busy—but it all leads up to highest efficiency and to our being first across the line in June.
There is one man in the freshman class now at Princeton who evidently has not heard that Princeton is aristocratic and full of distinctions based on wealth. He is a bootthek, the son of a Greek cobler. The lad saved up $350 by shining shoes in a big city and then came to Princeton last fall in the class of 1915. And he is shining shoes to put himself through college. His chair is set up on the campus at the east end of Nassau hall and he says that he has met with a warm response in the season tickets he has sold. Princeton admire a man like this and are helping him through.—New York Sun.

FOOTBALL THROUGH AGES
From review of Parke H. Davies's
Winter II New York Press
"Football." November Bookman. Mr. Davis follows the trail of football until it is lost in the remoteness of antiquity. He marshals abundant evidence to prove that it is the oldest outdoor sport. In the twenty-second chapter of Isaiah is the verse "He will turn and toss the like a ball." This is probably the first allusion to the forward pass. One of the first acts of the Emperor Augustus was to demand a revision of the football rules. His grievance against the game as it was then played, was that it was too gentle, and therefore unfit for the Roman youths destined for military service. He selected a philosopher to effect the change, and this philosopher was the original member of the Rules Committee.
FRIENDSHIP OF BOOKS
Germans Played a Heady Game.
The old Teutonic tribes which Caesar found in Gaul, played a gentle game in which they used the severed heads of their foes as footballs.
In the year 1650 football was regarded as a national institution throughout Great Britain. The classic game of that time was a contest waged every Shroyes Tuesday at Chester, a fixture which antiquarians claimed had come down the centuries in commemoration of the day in the year 217 when the ancient Britons formed a great wedge and rushed the Roman garrison out of Chester. In Scotland, James II prohibited football in 1457, and James IV in 1481 ordered that "football and goff be cried down utterly". Instead, these sports increased in popularity. Throughout all Caledonia an candlename day, football was special observance of the occasion. Usually the bachelors were arrayed against the married men At Jedburg, on one occasion, the ball was kicked into the river, but every contest fearlessly followed in and waged the game up and down the river's bed, amid splashes and "bedablements" to the strident aplause of the female inhabitants who lined the river's banks. Thus we see that the injunction to "follow the ball" and the disregard of personal safety, go far back beyond the earlier days of football in Yale and Harvard.
In the autumn of 1875 a team of Etonians came to this country and played a game with Yale at New Haven. Four years earlier the first American Intercollegiate contest had taken place at New Brunswick, New Jersey, between the teams of Princeton and Rutgers. The description of that game is in amazing contrast to the sport as we know it today. The events immediately preceding the game were as primitive as the contest itself. The spectators who had arrived early, appropriated seats upon the top boards of a fence which partly surrounded the field, while the late comers found places on the ground. There was no admission fee, no waving of flags. The famous orange and black was still in the making. But there were college songs, and strange to say, a college cheer, Princeton's booming rocket call, bursting and hissing as it does today. The players arrived a few minutes before three, and laying aside their hats, coats, and waistcoat, stood accounted for the game, the only touch of costume being red turbans worn by the Rutgers men.

JONATHAN SWIFT.
Canadian players from McGill University. This latter contest, was properly speaking, the first game played in America under Rugby rules.
On November 11, 1876, Princeton and Pennsylvania met for the first time. It was in this game that football costumes were first worn. The Pennsylvanians appeared in cricket suits of white flannel, and the Princetonians exhibited costumes of black shirts with orange trimmings around the necks and wrists, with a large orange "P" on the wrists. The same month witnessed the second meeting between Yale and Harvard, the first meeting having been won by Harvard in 1875. The Yale Courant concluded its description of the event as follows: "The gay suits of the players, the wrestling, tummling, and running, the equestrian feat of the Harvard captain, Curtis, and the lead over his shoulders by a hard pressed Yale man, lent a pleasing variety to the scene, suggestive of a Roman circ or hippodrome." A suggestion of the feeling in the rival camps is to be found in one of the Harvard periodicals, which gravely informs us that Yale's adherents prevented Harvard from converting Herrick's touchdown into a goal just as the game was closing, by carrying away the goal posts, a statement, albeit, that is gravelly denied by Yale.
High Cost of Football.
In the Yale-Princeton game of 1878 the cost of the field at Hoboken was $300. Its payment provoked severe criticism in the college and public press as a gross extravagance that would inevitably lead to the abolition of the game. Fifteen years later, the rental of Manhattan field in New York for, $10,000 for this contest did not evoke a line. A feature of the year 1879 was the arrival of the germ of training. An editorial in the Yale News called upon Yale players to "reduce their consumption of tobacco, and not stay up night nights lest they be not hardy enough to win."
Need of Rules
Meanwhile, however, the rules governing the game were in a sadly chaotic state. Safeties were made in profusion because they did not affect the score. There were no stated number of downs, to which a team was limited, in advancing the ball a certain distance, as in the contest of 1880, Princeton retained the ball through an entire second half. The first improvement to appear was signals. In the beginning, these consisted of sentences, thus Yale's first signals were two sentences, "Play up sharp Charlie," and "Look out quick Deac." Each sentence indicated a play.
The playing season of 1884 was opened gaily by the Harvard Lampoon which introduced its team as follows: "Harvard will be represented by a team this fall that is light and portable. It can be packed in a handbox and shipped to any point at trifling expense. After a good deal of hard training, it may be possible to send them even by mail provided permission could be obtained to ship live bait through the mail." There seemed to have been grounds for the Lampoon's sarcasm for the Harvard team was defeated by Pennsylvania, Princeton, and Yale by scores ranging from thirty up to seventy as against nothing for Harvard.
Coming of The Bleachers
It was not until 1897 that the big bleachers arrived. Up until 1891 it was a common sight to see spectators viewing the struggles from boxes or barrels placed against the fence. Those were the days when a team endeavored to play an entire game without the aid of a single substitute. They were also the days of the inexpert sport reporter who wrote his introduction long ahead of time and was likely to inform his readers that "Homans snatched the ball going southbound."

GREET
BALDWIN WON IN THE PAOLA TOURNAMENT
Champion in an Exciting Inter-School Basket Ball Meet.
Paola High School, Feb. 24–(B) George F. Miller, Special Correspondent)—Baldwin high school won the finals in the basket-ball tournament held here yesterday and today. The score, 84 to 23, does not describe the game between Baldwin and Wellsville; it was one of the best contests in the popular winter sport ever held in Paola. The score for Wellsville was low on account of the inaccurate basket shooting.
In the preliminaries:
The tournament in every respect was successful and is regarded as assuring the future of the Kansas State High School Athletic Association.
Gardner won from Parker, score 28 to 23;
Paola won from Argentine, score 30 to 22;
Wellsville won from Olathe, score 41 to 36;
Lawrence did not appear, giving the game to Baldwin by a score of 2 to 0.
Baldwin won from Paula, 88 to 5;
Welville won from Gardner, 64.
In the semi-finals:
In the tournament for the south half of the second district, lola won in the final. Baldwin and lola will play for the district championship sometime between now and the time of the state tournament, March 7-8
Nine teams entered the tournament for the north half, but one school, the Chelsea high school of Wyandotte county, was unable to be present on account of the illness or two members of the team.
The people of Paola supported the games well.
The next event under the direction of the State Athletic Association will be the track meet to be held or the last Saturday in April. The district director, Supt. John F. Barnhill, already has plans well under way.

First District Champions
Leavenworth High School, Feb.
22—The Leavenworth high school debating team won the debating championship of the first congressional district of Kansas here Friday night by defeating the Perry high school debating team by a 2 to 1 decision. The debate was the closest that Leavenwort has engaged in for some time but the local team always led by a slight margin. By winning, Leavenworth is now eligible to compete in the inter-district debates with the champions of the other districts.
Leavenworth had the negative side of the question: "Resolved that the commission form of government, as provided for in the Kansas statutes, insures an increase of efficiency and a decrease of corruption among city officials." Leavenworth has won on both sides of this question.
Perry advanced good arguments on its side of the question and was always a contender for the decision. Miss Georgia Hoffman was Perry's strongest debater. She is one of the best debaters that has been heard here for some time. The other Perry debaters were William Beal and Donald Flag. Leavenworth was represented by Ray Ferriss, Lyle Sellers and Walter Gable. Ray Ferriss was the best.

WASHINGTON TEAM CLEANS KANSAS FIVE
Runs Away With Last Two Conference Games of the Season
KANSANS LOSE THEIR "PEP."
Friday Night's Game a Walkaway For Washington; "Any Man's" Game Saturday Night.
In the last two conference games of the season, before playing off the championship series, the University of Kansas basket-ball team fell before the superior playing of the Washington University five and came home with the only two defeats of the season to their otherwise unblemished schedule. Lack of interest and fatigue after playing two hard games with Missouri are given as the causes for the downfall of the Kansas five. While Coach Hamilton's men played good team work in both games, their inability to shoot goals on a strange court again showed itself and the men were unable to score after successfully passing the ball the length of the court.
Friday's Game
The game Friday night was clearly Washington's from the start. Stuckey and his men were completely outplayed and were unable to cope with the fast playing of Captain Falvey and his Pikeways. While Stuckey and Greenlee both put up good games they were not in their regular form and could not be depended on. But the team that was entirely "off" failing to score any field goals and making only about half of his free throws.
The rest of the team played in a languid manner and failed to show any signs of "epp" at any time during the game. The game the night before with the Tigers had been a hard one and the trip to St. Louis had not been one where the Jayhawkers could pick up any lost rest and the usual spirit was lacking. Also the southern championship had been cinched and the stimulus to play for something had gone.
The line up for Friday's game was as follows:

Saturday's Game
When the Kansas five trotted out on the court for the game Saturday night their very manner showed a change from the night before and from the first tip off to the final whistle the game was "nip and tuck." Fast playing, good tear work and fairly good goal shooting characterize the players of the playoff at Jayhawkers, while the Washington U, boys put up the same strong speedy game as they had the night before.
The game itself was one of the best played this season both from its lack of rough playing and the close scores made. The Pikeways started off in the lead but were soon headed by the Jayhawkers through some fast passing by Hite and Stuckey It was not long however before the St. Louis team was again leading but to be passed again by the Kansas five. And so the scores ran throughout the game up to the last few minutes of play when two quick passes by the Washington boys gave them the final lead. The game end

ENGINEERS HOLD HIGH WASSAIL IN GYMNASIUM

appreciate opportunity," said Dean Marvin, "and he must dare to do his duty when he does see the opportunity."
Dean E. B. McCormick, of the Kansas State Agricultural College at Manhattan spoke on "Exhaust Steam." He said that the engineer's chief duty should be to eliminate, as far as possible, the waste products in all lines of business, and to result in residue from industrial works, and in general to find a use for everything.
Chancellor Recommends Loyality.
"Some Things the Technical Man Should Stand for," was the subject of Chancellor Strong's address. "The engineer should be loyal to his alma mater," said the Chancellor, "and he should take an active part in the civic affairs of his community, as he owes it to himself, as well as to the public, to use the training which he has received."
L. O. Ripley, of Wichita, spoke on the "Business Side of Engineering." Among other things, Mr. Ripley said, "It generally takes an engineer some time to find his connection with the business world, but when he does find it, he should use his very best efforts in serving the company by whom he is employed, and also the general public when occasion demands it."
Prof. W. A. Whitaker Jr., of the Metallurgy department at the University, spoke on the "Metallurgical Engineer." Professor Whitaker remarked that this was not the only the latest addition to the engineering field, but that it was also one of the most important. "The various problems of getting new metal compounds, and of improving present metals must all be solved by the metallurgical engineer," said Professor Whitaker.
Engineer's day Plans Exposed.
Martin K. Thoman, vice president of the engineers, told briefly of the plans for Engineer's day, and urged them to put their engineers in making the day a success.
The stunts put on by the several schools were all good and showed a large amount of preparation by the committees in charge of them.
The electrical's stunt consisted of a large sky-rocket which rose gradually a few feet, and then suddenly dropped and "broke" showing the letters, K. U. E. in red and blue electric lights. They also had an automobile horn of the growling type which did its share of noise making. Each electrical wore a small button-hole electric light during the banquet.
The mechanicals had an up-to-date power plant. The boiler was equipped with automatic stoker, super-heater, and noiseless whistle. Patents throughout the world on the plant, are held exclusively by the K. U. mechanicals.
The civils had a boom suspended from a steam crane which was a good reproduction of the modern crane, and it was pictured on the four sides of the boom.
The miners had "blasts" set at various places in the room which departed from time to time. They also had several "infernal machines" suspended from the ceiling and these occasioned much anxiety on the part of some of those present. These formidable looking affairs, however, exploded without doing any serious damage.
Bang! T'was the Noisy Mines.
The chemicals liberated several badly smelling compounds which filled the room with smoke and a varied assortment of odors. The sanitary engineers at once had a chance to prove that the air was toxic, but general, and immediately proceeded to clear up the atmosphere which the chemicals had polluted.
KANSAS GETS BETTER ATHLETIC MATERIAL
Freshmen Here Surpass Yearlings of Eastern Schools in Physical Measurement
Tests Show That Our First Year Men, Though Younger, Out Lift Yale's and Wisconsin's.
Yet, notwithstanding this difference in age, the Kansas freshmen show physical development surpassing in almost every detail the older men in the other schools. The only item in which Kansas is made more literate has limited capacity and this may be accounted for by the difference in age.
The freshmen of the University of Kansas are, on the average, younger, yet taller and stronger than those of the Eastern schools. The Daily Cardinal of the University of Wisconsin printed a table, comparing the physical averages of its freshmen and those of Yale. The Badgers surpass the Yale yearlings in height and strength but are nearly a year older. The average a year younger than those of Yale and almost two years younger than the first year men of Wisconsin.
The Kansas youngsters are almost an inch taller than those of Yale and a tenth of an inch taller than those of Wisconsin, though their weight is about the same. The back test shows an advantage of 18.7 kilograms in favor of Kansas, and the leg and arm tests show the superiority of Kansas muscle in a slightly smaller degree.

Golf received a big boost when Coach Griffith announced Friday that athletic credit will be given this spring to those participating in the tournament. Six credits in athletics are required for graduation and the new ruling will no doubt create a larger interest in golf as a means of obtaining those credits.
The Drake Golf Association in a body is planning to take lessons soon from Burke and Roseman the local professional instructors. The Association is also planning to entertain the golfers of the Missouri Valley Conference in a tournament next year—Drake Delphic.

BASKET BALL RESULTS
Standing of Teams in Big Eight and in the East.
The standings of the various basket-ball teams in the country for the week ending Saturday, February 24, shows that Purdue and Wisconsin are still in the lead in the big eight while Columbia is in the lead in the east.
The result in the big eight will probably remain a tie as there will be no games between the leaders in that section unless a post season series is arranged. Each team has one game left to play but as they have defeated their opponent to be before the results are not expected to make any difference in the standing.

ISN'T IT RIPPING,
DON'T YOU KNOW
George Putnam Describes English Enthusiasm in Chapel
WE NEED BETTER TRACK TEAM
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 27, 1912.
Says Kansas Should Lead in Track as Well as in Other Branches of Sport.
"The Englishman lacks enthusiasm from an American point of view," said George E. Putnam, formerly a Rhode scholar at Oxford, in a chapel address this morning. "Instead of organized cheering and singing, the English sportsman claps his hands and exclaims 'I won't iit rippin' how toppy," or some similar expression. "Increase Patnam put our several

advantageurs de la English syr-
male
"The English students goes into sport for sports sake, and every man comes out for some branch of athletics." A soccer, tennis and track are all bloody.
"In fact," Mr. Putnam said, "they take up everything except bull fighting and American football."
That the University of Kansas should lead in track athletics as well as in football or basket-ball, was the opinion of the speaker. "We need traditions here like those they have at Missouri. We have the coach and the ability to win games, we out and try to make the track team, we would defeat Missouri for the next fifteen years as they have defeated us for the last fifteen years.
"I take it that most of you are here, first, for mental development; and second, for physical development. Each is important though, and if you fail to get one or the other, the chances are high." For you to appeal to your own good as well as for the good of the University, I appeal to you to get in the game."

Article on Washing Coal Brings Inquiries from all Over the Country to Professor Young.
Prof. C, M. Young, whose experiments in washing Coal were mentioned in a recent article in the Daily Kansan, has received requests for further information from a number of places. One friend wrote for the writer of the World Magazine who called the Daily Kansan article copied in the Los Angeles Tribune.
The farthest east yet heard from is a town in Ohio. An official of a coal mining company located there wrote to Professor Young, enclosing a clipping Chicago paper which we practically the same as the Daily Kansas article.
PROF. DUNLAP, BUSY LECTURER
Olathe Teachers Will Soon be Quizzed on His Course.
Professor C. G. Dunal of the Department of English Literature lectured at Horton last Friday. He spoke to a group of young people who are studying Shakespeare through the University Extension Department. The subject of the lecture was, "Antony and Cleopatra."
On Monday Professor Dunlap went to Topeka at the invitation of the Dickens Club. He spoke to the memoirists on the celebration on "Charles Dickens."
Saturday the Professor went to Olathe, where he lectured on Geogge Eliot. His class at that place is composed entirely of teachers. Saturday they heard the last lecture before the examination in the course.

FOUNTAIN PENS BANISHED
Mining Engineers. Must Use the O.
F. Pencil in Their Quizzes
The four in pen, the student's standb., has been condemned as a weapon destructive to furniture and flours by the Engineering faculty.
There the notice is, conspicuously placed behind the glass of every post board in the Geology and Mining buildings. "The use of the fountain pen is forbidden in this building. Students are too careless with them and as a consequence floors are being ruined."
Engineering students approach the notice and sadly slink away to some nearby dark corner where they nervously consign the prohibited article to their innermost pocket. As yet no offender has been caught with a concealed weapon on his person, but woe to the man who tries openly to break this rule, as the instructors are watching carefully for possible offenders.
Showed New Chinese Flag
The Chinese students of Syracuse University entertained the members of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. cabinets recently. A flag of the new Republic was exhibited and created considerable interest. It is rectangular in shape, made up of five stripes, red, pale yellow, blue, white, and black. Each stripe represents some distinct district, red for China, pale yellow for Mongolia, blue for Thibet, white for Mohammed, and black for Manchu.
HOLD MEMBERSHIP DAY
Y, W, C. A. Also Expects to Have a Banquet in the Gymnasium.
The Young Women's Christian Association will hold a Membership Day on Wednesday, March 6.
"This is the last opportunity to become members of the Y. W. C. A., for this year," said Miss Isabel Thomes, vice-president of the Association and chairman of the membership committee. "We will have a station at the old check stand in Fraser hall, where all the girls who are members, new or old, may pay their dues and receive a badge of membership.
Following Membership Day, the Association will give a Membership banquet, Saturday, March 16, in Robinson gym.
"We expect three hundred members to attend this banquet," said Miss Lucie March, president of the association. "Dr. Henry Churchill King, president of Oberlin College will be the guest of honor and the principal speaker."
"Besides the regular members," said Miss Nadia Thomas, general secretary, "We will invite the sustaining members, the women of faculty and the women of Lawrence who lend their support to the organization."
DAGO'S THREE PECK
BUSHEL MUST GO
Twenty-six states were represented at the conference. Cities of over 50,000 population were also invited to send representatives and nearly thirty cities responded. The conference is backing the bills now pending before Congress that will establish standards of certain weights and measures.
Prof. E. F. Stimpson, Deputy State Sealer of weights and measures, has returned from the seventh annual conference of State Sealers of Weights and Measures which was held in Washington, D. C. February 15 and 16. This conference is held by the invitation of the Bureau of Standards of the Department of Commerce and Labor, the purpose of the conference being to bring about more uniform legislation in all the states and to urge that more official attention be given to the regulation of weights and measures.
Professor Stimpson Attended Conference that is urging assignment
E. H. Connor, manager of the English Structural Steel company at Leavenworth, attended the Engineers' banquet Saturday night; and was the guest of Prof. F. P. Walker during his stay in Lawrence.
SPECIMEN HUNTERS CAN SHOOT GAME IN SILENCE
Speaking of maxim silencers, Prof. H. T. Martin, of the Paleontology department, owns a little instrument which might well be classed with the Maxim instrument.
This weapon, is what is known as a "walking-Stick Air Rifle," and is the instrument used specially employed by professional poachers, especially in England and continental Europe. It resembles a common walking stick very much, being the same size and length. It is finished in black enamel, weighs about three pounds, and in place of a trigger has a small button. It works on a high air pressure, supplied by a pump which connects with the air chamber in the butt of the gun, much like a common bicycle pump.
"People would be surprised at the power of this little gun," said Mr. Martin. "It shoots forty or fifty times on a single air charge, and I have frequently killed rabbits at a distance of a hundred yards or more.
At that distance the first shot will penetrate an inch pine board. The pressure gradually decreases, of course, but at the twenty-fifth shot I have often killed squirrels and rabbits at a distance of 20 yards. As far as I know, this gun is the only one of its kind in the state, and I do not suppose that there are more than half a dozen like it in America."
MRS. LYONS WILL SING CHANCELLOR ON HOW SOLO AT BAND CONCERT TO GET EFFICIENC
Band Will Give First of a Series of Concerts
Mr. Martin bought the rife thirty years ago in England, and it is practically as good as new. He has used it extensively in his expeditions and while specimen hunting, and the department of taxidermy at the University has been using it for several years. It is useful in securing small birds, as they can be treated that way without the skin being broken.
Reilly, of London, is the maker of the gun, which has a finish and workmanship similar to high power rifles. The original cost of the "Walking Stick rifle" was about fifteen dollars.
Tomorrow
The first annual band concert will be given in Fraser hall tomorrow evening at 8:15. A program of classical, standard and popular music has been arranged and Mrs. Blanche Lyons has been secured to give a vocal solo.
The personnel of the is妈: Mrs. Blanche Lyons, soloist; J. C.

WILL WATCH HOME LIFE OF SAND FLIES
The University Entomologists Make First Experiments withPellagra Bearers
It will be necessary to have swif running water through the metal box at all times as the flies lays its eggs only under these conditions. It is also important that the young hatched flies get plenty of oxygen. The water must be of a certain temperature at all times.
Send the Daily Kansan home.
The part the sand fly plays in the dreaded disease pellagra and its habits is being determined by Professor Hunter and graduates in the entomology department. Sand flies are believed to be the chief agents in carrying pellagra. A metal box has been prepared in which the breeding and raising of the sand flies will be carried on in the University laboratory.
Thermo Meter and Baro Meter gives out the peculiar report today that there will be snow flurries tonight and probably it will be warmer tomorrow.
It is difficult to raise the flies in any save their native homes, and if the experiment which is being started in the entomology department proves successful, it will be the first instance in which an insect has been raised in a laboratory.

Tells National Educafors a St. Louis Four Ways to Glisten It
St. Louis, Feb. 27—(Special to the Daily Kansan)—"Economy of time in education is fundamentally a question of efficiency in education," is the message of Chancellor Strong to the National Council of Education in session here today. President Hill of the University of Missouri read the paper for Chancellor Strong, who could not be present.
Obtain It
Some of the factors in obtaining economy of time in education, according to Chancellor Strong, are the elimination of some of the subjects now in the educational curriculum or a reduction in the amount of given subjects, or both. Another factor is an increase in the quality of teaching through better salaries and greater permanence of tenure.
"Teaching must be made a profession. In order to bring this about exclusion of the untrained is necessary just as exclusion has been necessary in developing a true profession of medicine and law. The financial rewards for the exceptional teacher must be greater and the average reward for the rank and file of the profession must be greatly increased.
"In connection with this change another is imperative, namely greater tenure of office, greater independence of life, and a separation of the blighting influence of politics from school affairs."
Other points discussed by the Chancellor were: A substantial and in many cases a large increase in the number of efficient teachers and thus an increase in the individual attention that may be given to each pupil; and an increase in the physical equipment available for teaching, such as buildings, laboratories class rooms, competent text-books and the like.
HOW'd YOU LIKE TO
BE A TAFFY ENGINEER?
All problems were not invented for the nocturnal delight of engineers. This morning in the cooking department of Fraser hall a girl in a white apron, complacently leaning against the wall, is the problem of vinegar, molasses, and soda.
The result was tuffy, "of the finest variety," the apprehension col, crowd, affirms.
The problem was to determine whether cream of tarter or soda were best for perfect taffy. Trig and cale were banished. Only strong white arms and plenty of pull were necessary to bring about the desired answer.
Twelve Dollars to Dorm Fund
Twelve Dollars to Dorm Fund The girls of the sophomore class added twelve dollars to the dormitory fund this morning, by their candy sale in Fraser hall during chapel time.

MUSEUM BIRDS GET NEW GLASS ROOSTS
A Panoramic Display of the Speimens in their Natural Surroundings Will be Made.
Several changes are being made on the bird floor of the Museum. The capacity of the central cases on the second floor has been doubled by the addition of a shelf of plate glass in each case. This change places the birds within easy range of the eyes so that all labels can be read without trouble.
These shelves were also put in to make room for 400 birds that have been mounted recently. As many more cases, with shelves, are needed to accommodate the mounted birds which have been placed temporarily in the wall cases under the balcony in the bird room. These wall cases are eventually to be used for a panoramic display of birds in separate groups with their natural surroundings.
Kansan to Print Weather Record Through the courtesy of the Chemical Engineering Society, the Daily Kansan will be able to print every month a chart of the weather report for the month. This cut will include the curve of the mean temperature for the month, and a curve of the minimum and maximum temperatures.
The Sigma Delta Phi have pledged Robert W. Hemphill, a sophomore in the College, from Norton.
The cast for the play entitled "Object Martimony," a comedy to be given by the Red Domino Club, has been selected and the club will meet this evening in room 116, Fraser hall, at 7:30 o'clock for the first reading. Gertrude Mossier is the director and Donald McKay manager and with the excellent talent which the club comprises a successful play is assured.
First Reading of "Object Mat rimony" Held Tonight in Fraser Hall
The following compose the company: John Musselman, Howard Wilkoff, H. A. Heller, Lucie Wilkinson, Volney Hilford, Joe Bishop Lawrence F. Smith, Sydney Walker, Lewis Buxton, Madeline Nachtman, Lola Eaton, Helen Woolsey. The leads will be played by Musselman and Miss Nachtman.

PROFESSOR BECKER WILL
ADDRESS THE Y. W. C. A
Professor Becker will give his interpretation of the spirit which has been the moving force in the history of Kansas since the state was first settled. His pamphlet on "Kansas," is a real presentation of the heritage of Kansas, although Professor Becker is not a Kansan.
Prof. Carl Becker, of the department of history, will speak at the regular meeting of the Young Women's Christian Association, Wednesday afternoon at 4:45 o'clock in Myers hall, on "The Spirit of Kansas."
All University women are cordially invited.

UNIVERSITY TO TEST BLUE SKY INVENTIONS
Bank Commissioner Asks Engineers to Try Mechanical Merits of Contrivances
PREVENT FAKE STOCK SALES
spection.
Commissioner Dolley and University Engineers Work Together in In-
When a concern which has an invention that will put the Bell telephone out of business in six months wants to sell a few million dollars worth of stock in Kansas, hereafter the Engineering department of the State University will take a look at said "revolutionizing invention."
Bank Commissioner Dolley has written Chancellor Strong for the help of the institution in enforcing the Blue Sky Law. A great number of applications to sell stock are based on inventions. Here is a man who has a new electric battery made from a salt water solution. Here is a man who has a solar panel that harnesses a minute amount and get a billion horsepower at a time. All he needs is a few hundred dollars, which he hopes to get from prosperous farmers of Kansas.
Commissioner Dolly will pass upon the business end of these companies, and the University has promised to test out the feasibility of the invention, and the merits of the mechanical contrivance.
University Physicians Apply Popular Treatment to Pneumonia.
ANOTHER FRESH AIR CURE
The physicians at the University hospital in Rosedale have found the fresh air treatment for pneumonia to be the most efficient cure for the disease. The old idea that patients should be shut up in a closed room has been proved false.
"When we put the patients out they object at first, but after twelve hours in the air they will not be taken in," Dean Sudler told a Kan-gan of who is experienced by all who have been subjected to the treatment."
Porches have been built at the hospital outside of the rooms occupied by the patients suffering with pneumonia.
When the method of open air treatment was first presented by the Presbyterian Hospital of New York in 1905, the "old doctors" cried "fanatics." "As soon as they kill a few patients they will wake up from their dreams," they said. The Jefferson Hospital in Chicago, like the University Hospital, is fighting that old side partner of cold and exposure, pneumonia, with the fresh air treatment.

POOR RICHARD SAYS:
DO YOU AGREE?
"After flattering Southwestern on her scenic beauty, Professor Leotsakos just informed Kansas U. that she is the 'Acropolis of America.' Plague take these fickle Dagos anyhow."
The above is an editorial comment by the Southwestern Collegian and is an interesting commentary on the sincerity—we dislike to call it that—of a number of speakers who appear before university audiences and seek to pave their way into the graces of the students by dispensing many and beautiful-sounding words of praise.
We are not making personal reference to Professor Leotsakas, for goodness knows the University deserves being called the "Acropolis of America."
But it is a sad fact that custom has decreed that whenever a visitor speaks before a University audience he should consume a part of his time in a verbose and euphonious laudation of the students individually, the University and its campus, and everything that is connected with our college life. The students do not desire or appreciate this. We know that we are singularly blessed with a beautiful campus and an extraordinarily bright student body. The students in other colleges know the same thing. We take it for granted that the speaker is pleased to see "sc many bright and smiling faces, etc." We know when he says these things that he is sparring for our attention and playing on our supposed vanity
But probably the decree of custom will always compel speakers to continue in the well beaten paths of their predecessors. There will doubtless never be a chapel speaker who will have the audacity to fly in the face of convention, and University audiences will be forever burdened with this misplaced oratorical courtesy.
RAGTIME AND MUSIC
There is no possible way of ascertaining the musical inclination of the student body, but a fair guess is that the musical appreciation of the average student is limited to a few melodies which tell of wonderful eyes, of beautiful dolls, of honey men—the whole set to ragtime.
It has been said that the average student leaves the university with his musical education still in the ragtime stage. By the time a fellow grinds through a four year's course in engineering, or weather; two or three courses in chemistry or absorbs a semester of law, or takes any of the other courses offered on the bill, he has little time or inclination for the culture of his musical sense. But he should take every advantage offered to hear classical music.
The University band gives a concert tomorrow evening and be it said to its everlasting credit, it is rstempting something other than the usual sycophaced ta-rah that we hear pounded out on every piano within the city limits. It is a relief to hear something that is the work of a master—that is not ground out by some music hack at so much per.
We ought to be able to appreciate classical music when we hear it. We tire of the light and frivolious in talk
ing, and just so we ought to tire of the light and inconsequential in music.
CHECKS ARE DUE
It is this week—or maybe next—that papa sends a letter to his boy at college, and with this epistle is a little pink or yellow or white slip that brings joy and comfort to the heart of the youth who is in quest of ar education.
It's these checks from father that make the student see the whole world in a rosy hue, that make an irate landlady who has been clamoring for the past two months for her regular stipend chuckle with glee, and that allows us all to walk from one end of Massachusetts street to the other without dedging behind sign posts whenever creditors come in sight.
WHEN DOCTORS DISAGREE The Daily Kanwan of last Friday contained an account of the differen attitudes taken by two governors in the matter of higher education. Governor Wilson sees it from the view point of the man who knows the university from the inside out: Governor Stubbs views it with the attitude of the man who knows it from the outside in.
Governor Woodrow Wilson says:
Often the question is asked
"What's the use?"
"How will this study help me?"
What is the use of a gymnasium?
Do you expect to do the double traction with your partner in business?
You train so you can stand the strains of life. The amount of education that you carry away from a great university is negligible. You are here to do for your minds as you do in the gymnasium for your muscles.
No man ought to stumble when a question of duty comes.
Governor W. R.
Stubbs says:
Our schools contain too much of the impractical. No student should be compelled to take Latin or Greek or mathematical astronomy unless he feels that it will be of some use to him in his everyday life.
We want particular things in school as well as in business. Thegirlwho intends to be a housewife needs no Latin or Greek to be a good one.
TORTURE OF THE OYSTER
Every student's needs must be measured by his intentions for the future.
Those readers who are accustomed to drop in and order a half a dozen raw hard better read the following editorial. They will change it to a fry or a stew.
No propaganda in recent years has met with such enthusiastic support from the populace as that which has just been launched by the Hon. John Craft, of Mobile, Ala., who bulges nobly to the fore-front in advocacy of the great American oyster. It has remained for him to point out the cruelty with which these helpless bivalves have been treated for ages past by thoughtless epicures, who have been accustomed to eat them alive, in reckless bisregard of all the laws of humanity. As Mr. Craft now points out, just because oysters are dumb, and deprived by nature of any means of defense, is no reason why they should be cruelly subjected to baths of catapu, stabbed with forks in their tenderest parts, and crunched by reckless teeth.
WHEN first the Fox saw the Lion he was terribly frightened, and ran away and hid himself in the wood. Next time however he came near the King of Beasts he stopped at the fence to get into the by. The third time he came near one another the Fox went straight up to the Lion and passed the time of day with him, asking him how his family were, and when he should have been gone, then turning his tail, he parted from the Lion without much ceremony.
AN EDITORIAL BY MR. AESOP
In common with the rest of the civilized world we subscribe to all that the famed president of the Alabama oyster commission has to say. From long study of the docile oyster he has arrived at the conclusion that the savagery with which we have impaled these helpless creatures upon our tines, tortured them with lemon juice, blinded their eyes with salt and pepper, and frozen their very marrows with ice, would make a South Sea Island cannibal dining off baked missionary look like a charter member of the S. P. C. A. Enough of this butchery of the innocents!

STUDENT OPINION
The very word "grind" is discordant, and the student who is known as a "grind" is usually considered discordant. Among great many students he is a subject for pity. He is said to be narrow-minded. He is called freakish. Often he is avoided by his fellow students.
THE GRIND
THE GRIND To the Daily Kansan;
But is the "grind" quite so bad, after all? Aren't we inclined to be a little prejudiced against him? In the modern reaction against scholastic culture have we not gone too far toward practical things and toward materialistic learning? Are we not going to an extreme to get little worse than we can, and the like, and then point the finger of scorn at the so-called grind while he is getting out of his books more real lasting pleasure than we.
It is said that one extreme is as bad as another, but just the same most people honor the grind far more than his opposite, the "rounder," the easy- lucky good-for-nothing fellow who comes to college to do everything except to study. It is this last kind of student who has brought attacks upon the modern world from a disgrace to higher educational institutions; the "grind" may be objectionable, but he is certainly not a disgrace.
Many of the greatest men and women have been grinds in their youth. Some, but not many, of the opposite type have been of considerable value in the world. It is what a human being has in him that counts in the long run, not altogether what he outwardly displays or tries to display. C. F.
It's quite newsy and will give the students an opportunity to handle some of the perplexing questions incident to the business. It's a good, practical training for them and especially for those who expect to embark in the profession after completing their course. Here's hoping that they will make a success of their venture.—McPherson Opinion.
THEY ALL LIKE THE DAILY
It is a very neatly gotten-up paper and is devoted to the news and interests of the University. At this late date they will not know of the joys they miss in pulling the old Washington hand press—Cawker City Record.
The young men and women who are working, working, working—as they will always be required to work because of the consuming ambition which beckons the most plodding of the editorial force of the country—are preparing themselves for identification with the greatest forces afflicted in the press and its products, and, success seems assured. Some will fall, as a matter of course, but the general result will be a boon to the world.—Osage City Free Press.
If the students in the department of journalism at the Kansas university can spell as well as they can edit there is hope for them in the newspaper field.
It is full of news, has the proper appearance and flavor, and brings joy to the heart of the exchange editor every day when it comes in. If you want to read real news gotten up in the original way just take a look at the Kansan on the exchange table of the library. - College Life, Emporia.
It is printed on good paper and is a beauty mechanically. If the support enables it to keep up its present high standard the journalistic students will get some first class training. It is ably edited.-Santa Fe Monitor.
It is well get up and newsy, but having put in a good many years of life at daily newspaper work, we have an idea the boys will find it a mighty hard grind after the novelty has worn off...Edmond New Leaf.
In the young men's brains, there lie the greatest possibilities of the future generations. The University Daily Kansan should study the cause of things more zealously and assist in molding the future policies of the nation, lest a disgruntled proletariat rise with club and bomb, in ignorance of the cause of their woes, to smash an unseen monster which they cannot analyze or harness. You boys had better get hold of the economic reins of the destinies of the people. May the University Daily Kansan live long and do much good.-Gray County Beacon.
The stuff that appears in the paper is of a better grade than that which appears in the average country paper. —Dodge City Journal.
If the boys keep up anything like the gait with which they start out, they will keep a-goin' some. Editorially, rhetorically and mechanically the issues so far have been of a high order and if the boys can manage to pay the hands Saturday nights they should be admitted to the fraternity without further ceremony. - Marion Record.
FRIENDSHIP OF BOOKS
With deathless minds that leave where they have passed
A path of light, my soul communion knew;
Till from that glorious intercourse, at last,
As from a mine of magic store, I drew
Words which were weapons; round my heart there grew
The adamantine armor of their power
And from my fancy wings of golden hue
Sprang forth.
Sprang form.
—PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY,
It is creditable to any school and to any publisher and it shows plainly that somewhere behind it is a hand and brain long trained in the daily grind of practical newspaper work—Sedan Times-Star.
One of the neatest, most interesting exchanges which comes to the Advocate table is the University Daily Kansan. The paper is well gotten up, its stories are well written and to the point, the mechanical part is artistic, in fact the paper is a credit to the journalistic department of the University. It is the greatest advertising medium the institution could possibly adopt and keeps the public informed regarding the work and progress of the students in general—EIOrado Advocate.
The first numbers are news and neat editions, well edited, and show care and thought. Some of the young fellows who are getting their first knowledge of newspaper making at that institution will, before many years, take the place of the old grayheads who are now "moulding public thought" in Kansas. They will be up to the times, in touch with all the latest improvements and will make a whip-cracker of the Kansas 'language'.
The old fellows who learned the trade in the old-fashioned way will all have gone to their reward and instead of becoming a golden harp in the new Jerusalem.
THE SEVEN AGES OF MAN
With the advent of typesetting machinery the old school printers are fast disappearing and very few boys are learning the business now except in the schools where printing and journalistic work is taught.
The young men who are learning the business in the schools will graduate and go out into the world and take the places of the men who fall out as old Father Time touches them with his spear. We wish the University Daily Kansan and its editors, success—Troy Chief.
A BAN ON CIDER
A report having been received by the Central W. C. T. U., that cider is frequently served at dinners and other university social affairs at the University of Wisconsin Y. W. C. A., the central organization went on record in protest against the practice and efforts will be made to prohibit it.
OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
All the world's a stage.
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many
His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms;
Then the whining school-boy, with his pucking,
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woofful whalad.
Made to his mistress' eye-brow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,
Jeaulson in honor, sudden and quick in seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the Justice.
In fair round belly with good capron dress—
With eyes severe, and beard of formal or with light saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into laceen and slipped pantalon With spectacles on nose, and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
From his shrunk shank; and his big many voice,
Turning toward childish treble pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history Is second childhood, and mobs all
Sans teeth. sans cues. sans taste
sans everything. WWW. Swimming

A Man Who Had Worked Hard
in Kansas for thirty years moved with his family to Lawrence the other day. Said he thought he had earned a rest and he proposed to enjoy it in the City of Homes. Said he intended to take it easy while his children finished going through school. All of which suggests that there are thousands of hard working, well-to-do citizens in Kansas who owe themselves a holiday. Lawrence proves attractive to such by reason of its unequalled advantages as a residence town—its schools and University, its beauty, and its up-to-dateness in every line of civic improvement.

Disastrous Trip for Leavenworth Leavenworth High School, Feb. 22—(By Walter Waller, Special Correspondent) The Leavenworth high school basket ball five returned yesterday from a two days' basketball ball trip to Atchison and Hiawatha Leavenworth was defeated in both games by the high school fives of both places. Friday night the local quintet met defeat at the hands of the Atchison high school and was again defeated by Hiawatha high school Saturday night. There was but one regular player in the Leavenworth line-up.
Leavenworth made a good showing in both games. In the game against Atchison, Leavenworth was on the short end of a 27 to 6 score at the end of the first half. The blue and white came back strong in the second period and played on even term with their opponents. The final score was 17, 18, "Took" 0 KOEke for guard for Leavenworth was the star of the game. He held Adams, the star forward of the Atchison five without a basket.
In the game with Hiawata,
Leavenworth also played a better
game in the second half. The local
five was handicapped by the small
court and their heavier opponents.
The score at the end of the first half
was 17 to 2 with Hiawata on the
long end. Leavenworth took a
brace in the second half and scored
eight field baskets for a total of
sixteen points. The work of O'Keele
at guard for Leavenworth was
again the feature of the game. Hooper,
at forward for Leavenworth also
played a good game.
The Leavenworth lineup in both games was: Hooper and Hill , forwards; Hartman, center; and Mell: and O'Keee, guards.
GOT THE FUND, GOT THE
GIRLS—BUT LACK GAM
Spearville High School, Feb. 22—(By Ed. Wiedemer, Special Correspondent)—The Spearville girls have added another victory to their long list by defeating Larned, at Larned. The game was fast from start to finish. In the first half the score stood 6-4. In the last half our forwards turned on the rapid fire guns and at the end of the game the score was 21-8. The result of the game shows the advantage of fast team work and steady individual play.
There is not a flaw in any position of the team, and were it possible to arrange a game with some larger school team, our girls would have a chance to show their real playing ability.
Miss Helen Haynes Resigns
Dodge City High School, Feb. 20—(By Herbert Schelk, Special Correspondent)—The resignation of Miss Helen Haynes, instructor in English and commercial subjects took effect Monday. The classes took effect Monday. The classes will be divided among the other members of the faculty for the remaining months of the year.

TWO OFFICES VACANT
W.S.G.A. Must Find New Vice President and Freshman Representative
Washington's Birthday Celebrated by K. N.G.-Privates' Club Organized.
The University company of the Kansas National Guards held their annual Washington's birthday "blowout" in Robinson gymnasium Wednesday night. Thirty-six men were present.
During the evening an Enlisted Men's Club for privates and noncommissioned officers was organized Sergicron Luke was elected president and Corporal Sterling secretary-treasurer.
Two members of the Woman's Student Government Association have been found to be ineligible for office. They are, the vice-president, from the Fine Arts school and one of the freshman representatives. Their names are withheld from publication.
The office of vice-president will be filled by appointment by the Council at the next meeting, February 28, and the vacancy of freshman representative will be filled by a special class election to be held sometime next week.
The same standard must be maintained during the term of office that is set for election to office, that is, that there shall be no flunks or conditions against any member of the council.
The men imitated a day in camp pitched "dog tents," placed guards tossed men to the ceiling, more or less, in blankets, and had a grand hilarious time in general. One of the buglers grew so proficient that he would play Yankees or something equally patriotic while in the air.

INDOOR TRACK MEET
TO DISPEL BLUES
No Silver Lining to Cloud That Overhangs Track Enthusiasts
MEDALS FOR THREE PLACES
Men Who Show up Best to be Taken to K. C. A. C.
Meet.
A dark, deep, indigo blue is hanging over the cinder enthusiasts of the University of Kansas and from present indications the track chances for the coming season are in about the worst shape they have been for years. In order to excite more interest in this section of school athletics, Manager W. O. Hamilton and Captain French have arranged for a large handicap indoor meet to be held in the gymnasium Wednesday evening March 18.
This meet will be open to all classes and in all probability a few entries from Lawrence high school will be permitted. About one hundred men are expected to enter. Medals will be awarded for the first three places and cups will be given to any man breaking a University record. The medals will be distributed at the close of each event.
The purpose of the meet is to get more men interested in track and to bring out men who are at present unknown to the athletic authorities. It was at first thought that a meet with Baker, Washburn or some of the other smaller colleges would be more beneficial but as each of the above schools insisted on coming to the University, Coach Hamilton decided that an inter-school meet, each man for himself, would be best.
eath man for himself, would be oes
“The men have absolutely refused to come out this year and those who have shown up do not have the winning spirit,” said Captain French this morning. “The refusal of the Woodburybs and Ammons to come out has put about as big a crimin in the University track team that it has ever had and unless more men show up we are certainly going to back alld.”
Men who show up best in this handicap meet, freshmen or upperclassmen, will be taken to Kansas City April 6 to enter in the K. C. A. C. meet. This is an excellent chance for freshmen who expect to come out next year and also for all upperclassmen who have any aspiration or ability in any line of track events Men may tryout for their handicap any afternoon at 4:15 in the gymnasmium, under the direction of Coac Hamilton.

President of Western Conference Schools take Hand in Athletic Leaders
New and rigorous measures for the government of athletics in the West will be considered by the presidents of the "big eight" colleges at a meeting to be held March 9 at the University Club of Chicago. President A. W. Harris of Northwestern University yesterday issued a call for the gathering, which is expected to be the most important legislative session since the formation of the organization of the conference of 1896.
In his invitation to the university leaders President Harris stated that the meeting was for the purpose of a thorough discussion of the athletic situation. The assembling of presidents for the third time in the history of the conference is the out-growth of dissatisfaction with the present condition in intercollegiate sports and it is expected that the discussion will have a profound effect upon the future of athletics in the "his eight" district.
The presidents will cut loose from the current debates over the compromise recommendations made by the "big eight" representatives at their January meeting and talk over the fundamentals of athletics, according to the plans of President Harris. The meeting will have no immediate connection with the conference representatives, none of whom had been invited to attend.
The value of college athletics in education, the movement in favor of abolishing intercollegiate competition in part or as a whole, and the possibility of making a new alignment of conference forces which may result in two groups of colleges are among the subjects up for discussion. With these problems in the air it is likely that the "big eight" map will be changed in several radical ways when the presidents have ended their arguments.
BASEBALL HOPES ARE BRIGHTENINI
Kansas Stars Will Shine in Spite of Previous Gloomy Outlook
"The prospects for the coming season are picking up and it looks at present like the University of Kansas will have one of the most successful baseball teams they have had in years." So in part spoke Captain Hicks this morning when talking of the results his men are expecting to attain this spring.
Every afternoon about twenty-five men work out in the gym under the direction of Coach Sherwin and are gradually getting themselves in shape for the hard out door practice which is to begin as soon as permanent spring weather settles in.
The tryouts are at present working only on picking up "grounders" and battery work. In the latter branch of activity the pitchers have turned out beyond all expectation and all doubt as to efficiency in this department have been dispelled. The men now working out for this position are, Walker, Marsh, Busick and McCarty. Of these Busick and Walker seem to be the most promising positions for equipment being given a hard run by the following men: Binkleman, Charles worth, Ogden, and Nesbit. Of these Binkleman and Ogden are so far in the lead.
As the first games of the season are to be played in less than a month it will take some extra hard work for the whole team when the outdoor work is finally started.
Chancellor Strong will leave Wednesday for Peoria, Ill., where he will give an address Thursday February 29 before the state convention of the Y. M. C. A. at Peoria on "The Student's Response to the World of Man."

Fifth Annual Interscholastic Tournament Will Be Held
LARGEST MEET IN THE WORLD
CONFERENCE OF HIGH SCHOOLS MARCH 15-16
Thirty Entries last Year -Silver Engraved Loving Cup to be Awarded to the Winning Team.
The largest single basketball ball tournament in the world will be held in Robinson gymnasium when the high school teams teamless through the state of Kansas meet in the fifth annual inter-scholastic basket ball tournament March 15th and 16th. The games are played under the management of the faculty of the University of Kansas and the University Athletic Association and are open to any high school in the state maintaining either a boys' or girls' basketball ball team. The event is unequaled by any other college in the country and has proven to be a large asset in creating interest in and knowledge of the State University among high school pupils.
Entry may be made by filling out the required entry blank and sending it to the University Athletic Association. Eligibility rules in regard to the players are printed on the back of each blank. These should be noticed with the greatest care so that there will be no question arising either as to the good faith of the competing schools or of the University at the opening of the tournament. All students will be charged each competing team and this should be paid at the time of entry which must be made not later than Saturday March 4th.
"This is one of the most stupendous affairs ever attempted in the basket球 world," said W. O. Hamilton, manager and director of the tournament. "About thirty-five teams, both boys' and girls', are expected to enter this year and it will be necessary to divide the gymnastium court in halfand play two games at a time in order to run them all off in the two days allotted. The games will start about ten o'clock, evening and will continue through the day. A small fee will be charged and the proceeds will go towards helping defray the expenses of the teams to and from Lawrence.
"The idea of the tournament is to not only increase the interest in the game of basket ball throughout the high schools in the state, but it also brings hundreds of pupils to the University and gives them a chance to see what sort of an institution we have prepared here for them to attend when they have finished their high school course."
The preliminary games will consist of 15 minute halves and will be played on courts 50x45. The finals, which will be held on Saturday the 16th, will be of regulation length and will be played on courts 70x45. All boys' games will be played under the A. A. U. rules while the girls will play under the modified rules that govern the women's games. Officials will be chosen from the University of Kansas. A large number of players will be awarded the winning team; the ball with which the final game is played will be given as a trophy to the runner up in each class. Lawrence high school is the present holder of the boys' championship while the Chanute high school carries the title for the girls.
Ralph Craig, the famous spinner of the University of Michigan, announced today that he would not compete with the American team at the Olympic games at Stockholm next summer. Craig was expected to score heavily in the 100 and 200 meter dashes. He declared that he cannot leave his position for the length of time that training and the trip requires.

WILL PICK WRESTLERS
Elimination Bouts for All Weights; Team to Enter A. A. U. Meet
The elimination bouts to pick the Kansas Wrestling team will be staged at Robinson gymnasium at ten o'clock, March the 3rd. The following weights will be staged; feather under 15 lbs, weight-light under 135 lbs, welter under 145 lbs, middle-weight under 158 and heavy-weight over 158 lbs.
The team will enter one man in each event in the A. A. U. wrestling games to be held under the auspices of the Kansas City Athletic Club, March the 9th. They will also probably mix with some of the Conference grapples, as Missouri and Nebraska have signified their intention of competition.
Arrangements have also been made for a Conference meet with Missouri the latter part of March though no definite date has yet been set.
The prospecties are that Kansas will have a husky bunch of man handlers as the majority of the men now trying out are experienced men. Allison is the most likely candidate for the featherweight position and Dart for the Wetter-weights. Roberts and Clark both have a good hold on the middle-weights while in the light-weightz there are a number of candidates.
Davis, L. Smith and Vermillion are at present leading the rest.
SPRING ATHLETICS CALL
OUT 200 AT WISCONSIN
Track, Baseball, Crew and Football Men all at Work—Baseball Squad Will go South.
Spring athletics have started with a rush at the University of Wisconsin and the new athletic annex, which has just been completed, presents a lively appearance every afternoon with about 200 men training for baseball, track, and football. Next week the crew men will be added to the quota, as the rowing machines have been moved out of the gymnasium in order to give more room for the men who are working under Coach Harry Vail.
Coach Richards, who will have charge of the baseball team, has ordered them to report for work on Monday. He has changed the policy that has been adhered to in the past by having the men report by classes. He will accept all the senior and junior candidates, but sophomores will be required to try out for ten days before they are given places on the sound.
The department will let nothing stand in the way of a winning team this year and has promised to equip the squad with the best there is. In addition to the financial support, the team will be given the advantages of a southern spring training trip or which eight games will be played
The schedule as announced by the coach early this week is as follows: April 1-3- University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, Ark.
April 4-Christian Brothers' College at St. Louis, Md.
April 5-6-University of Missouri at Columbia, Mo.

START ENGINEERS'
PARADE AFTER CHAPEL
Chancellor Favors Noon to Avoid Interrupting Other Classes
TO DELAY "FEED" ON LINKS
Thomen, Vice-President of Engineer Says "Big Show" Will Start After Morning Services.
the committee of Engineers in charge of making arrangements for the parade on Engineers' Day March 29 is deliberating over the time for starting. It is understood that Chancellor Strong has asked that the parade start at 12 o'clock this year instead of after chapel as last year. In this way it would not interfere with the morning classes in the other schools.
To postpone the start until 12 o'clock would delay the other features of the day. After the parade through the downtown streets, it probably would be late when the men reached the golf links for the "feed." In order to start the track meet or McCook field at 2 o'clock, it would be necessary to rush through the meal.
The Engineers will not hold classes in their building at all on the day of their annual celebration. According to Martin K. Thomen, vice president of the Engineers, the parade will start immediately after chapel. It was impossible to get the Chancellor's views of the matter today as he is in St. Louis.
The Engineers will attend chapel in a body in the morning and in the evening after the celebration on McCook field will give a dance in the gymnasium.
"BILLY" PROVED FINANCIAL SUCCESS
Student Directed Comedy Cleared Expenses and Made $125
The Thespian Dramatic club held a meeting last night to hear the manager's report on the financial end of "Billy," which was presented by the club a few weeks ago. In a detailed report Manager Ik Lambert recounted the expenditures for one of the most expensive plays that has been given at the University in several years. After all debts contracted for "Billy" and a number carried over from last year, were paid, there was $125 left in the treasury.
The meeting was attended chiefly by the members of this year's cast, all of whom ordered The斯朋 pins. A few plans were outlined for selecting a play to be given next fall. The斯朋 play this year was the first student directed play ever given at the University.

A new ventilating system has been installed in the Museum for the benefit of the medics. To be more correct we should say that a ventilating system has been installed there. Before this there was no ventilation. The new system was made necessary by opening of the windows from the floor and because of the heavy gases which are liberated in the work there.
Above eleven of the operating tables overhang large galvanized hoods. Each hood is connected at the top with a large pipe. All of these pipes open into another larger pipe which connects to an opening above the level below the level of the windows so that with a window open, a good circulation is formed.

Of course there were minor details to decide such as whether taffy should be made with cream of tartar or soda or both but this problem soon settled, (in favor of the soda) and did not long retard the fun of the taffy-pulling.

The latest exchange to come to the Daily Kansan desk is that published by the prisoners of the Kansas State Penitentiary. The first number of the Penitentiary Bulletin was circulated on February 9, 1912. This four page paper is edited and printed by the prisoners themselves, although it is under control of the Warden and the Penal Board. The Bulletin contains news of the prison, jokes, clippings, and editorials, it is in fact a miniature newspaper except for its lack of adverising. The chaplain edits its humorous column.
The last number of the American Journal of Science contained an article by Prof. W.H. Twenhofel, of the Geology Department, entitled "Physiography of Newfoundland."

Here is part of a letter from a member of last year's class telling how she earned some money for the "dorm" fund.
"I am sending you a couple of checks to help swell the "dorm" fund. Part of this money I earn is extracted from the family. For instance, instead of letting them buy candy, I make it and let the profit go to the dormitory fund. My mother and sister are willing to employ me to shampoo their hair rather than it itselfes or bother to go down town. And, of course, I am glad to help on the cause. "My outside revenue comes from pictures and food, as doughnuts or cake. If people want pictures I have snapped with my kodak, I supply them and explain that it is for the University of Kansas dormitory fund. They seem surprised that one living out of the state, as I do, should take so much interest in Kansas."

EXPEL CRIBBERS FOR A YEAR AT ILLINOIS
On the charge of copying a chemistry experiment, two students at Illinois were dismissed for a period of a year. Two other men, who allowed their experiment to be copied were dropped from the course.
WILL POINT THE WAY TO NEW INDUSTRIES
Clay Testing Laboratory at the University Now Almost Equipped
TO UNEARTH KANSAS WEALTH
No Need Then to Send Outside The State For Terra Cotta or Other Clay Products.
"Although Kansas is richer in clay of a certain class than any other state in the Missouri Valley, yet she is the most backward in utilizing these resources," said B. L. Wolf, a graduate of the University and an experienced mining engineer, who is now installing the clay working machinery in the south wing of the Geology and Mining building.
A complete brick and tile making plant is being set up in which samples of clay and shale received from all over the state will be tested for their value for the making of bricks. This will do away with the present necessity of sending the samples to manufacturers of brick making machinery who in many cases allow their desire to place an order for machinery influence their report on the true commercial value of the clay.
A tempering pan, mud brick augurs, a cutting table, and a repress with dies for brick, hollow tile and roofing tile, a dry press machine and a kiln fitted with gas and steam, have been set up and within a few days will be in operation. Within a week pottery tables for the use of the department of Fine Arts will be added.
"With this plant we can subject' the clay to normal conditions of manufacture which is the only way to determine its value," said Mr. Wolf this morning. "It is the aim of the department to increase the clay industries of Kansas so that it will be unnecessary to send to Missouri for terra cotta as was done for the new Administration building."
RUTH CADY GIVES RECITAL
Third Winter Recital Includes Italian, German, and French.
The third number of the Winter Recital Course will be given by Miss Ruth Cady, soprano, in Fraser hall, at 8:15, Thursday, February 29, HI P. Cady, who is a sister of Prof. HI P. Cady, concert organist in the East and is visiting in Lawrence.
Miss Cady will sing the masterpieces of Italian, German, English, and French artists. She will be assisted by Prof. Carl A. Errey, pianist, Harriet Greisinger, pianist, Wort S. Morse, violinist, Dorothy Keeler, violinist, William Dalton, violonceller and Anna Swenee, accompanist. Professor Preyer will play two piano solos of his own composition.
Prof. C. G. Dunlap of the English department, will give his last lecture of the University Extension course at Horton on Friday evening. March 1. His subject will be "The Tempest."
Miss Dot Ryland of Kansas City is visiting at the Pt Beta Phi house.
A daughter was born recently to Professor and Mrs. F. E. Kester.
TO SHINE THEIR WAY INTO A NEW CHAPTER HOUSE
If the future members of a certain sorority have a new chapter house, it will be due to the energy and originality of some of the active girls. They have decided that they just must have a new house, and as there seemed to be no other way open, a novel plan has been hit upon.
Every girl is to earn her share by real manual labor or business ability. One energetic young lady, who has a good line of talk, is engaged in the lucrative business of shampooing and manicuring her sorority sisters. Another has purchased cholocate nut bars at wholesale and is earning her share easily. It makes it real handy not to have to be running to town for a
supply of sweets, and the girls do not think of this scheme long
Down in the basement is a shoe shining parlor which rivals the Attic emporium uptown. The lustre imparted to faded and dingy foot-wear is said to be remarkable, and the nickels saved into the building fund. If the present plants grow wearisome and the girls long for variety, they will undoubtedly find other means. Indeed, they may even follow our examples by visiting Missouri co-eds and take care of the faculty babies. The girls say that if any one has any suggestions to offer they will be gratefully received.

POOR RICHARD SAYS:
He that hath a trade hath an estate,
and the one calling hath an office of
profe and honor.
OH! COME AND HEAR
Every son and daughter of the University owes it to the band to be present at its concert tonight. Those who know not of the trials and tribulations of a band leader, and who have never belonged to a musical organization that is expected to play at every little gathering that has a University interest, do not appreciate the effort that has been expended to prepare a program that will satisfy all classes of hearers.
All that the members of the band and Director McCanles ask, is that they have a large audience present in Fraser tonight. They have worked for a long time and they have worked hard, and out of respect for them and the many times they have favored the student body by playing at athletic gatherings, a large crowd should be present.
Besides the W. S. G. A says it al right to have a date tonight.
PRO BONO PUBLICO
The Daily Kansan always desires to champion the rights and privileges of its readers, and especially of the student body, and for this reason it intends to enter a hearty protest against a practice that has been prevalent here for years, but which appears to be in its most virulent stage this year. What is referred to is the practice of taking flash light pictures almost every time a group of students are assembled for any social gathering.
For several years ambitious photographers have succeeded in being present at practically every social event, and there, with camera in one hand and an evil smelling and offensive smoke powder in the other they proceed to waste much valuablime in an attempt to make a picture that will be of commercial value to them.
However the photographer does not always appear upon his own initiative; he is often invited by those in charge in order that the great event may be forever preserved in picture, if not in memory. No matter who is responsible for the introduction of the picture man and his camera, the Daily Kansan desires to be put on record as being against the practice unless the extraordinary nature of the event demands that a photograph be taken.
REACHING OUT
Another instance of the effort the University is making to reach all people of the state, is shown by the recent statement by Bank Commissioner Dolley that he will use this institution to test the many blue sky inventions that are worked off on the Kansas innocents every year.
It was not many months ago that a University professor was called to Topeka to assist the State Railway Commission in ascertaining the physical valuation of the railroads operating in the state. For several years a University professor has been the State Sanitary Engineer and his work as counselor for our municipalities, has carried him to every corner of the state.
There is hardly a department of the University that does not contribute its share towards making our cities more nearly perfect, our citizens more broadly intelligent and the administration of our cities more efficient. These things are not as generally known as they ought to be; but this latest instance of "spreading out" will emphasize to the people the interest the University is taking in all state activities.
IS A COMMONS NEEDED?
The importance of a University Coppoms on the campus has been clearly demonstrated. At the noon hour during the recent bad weather the new Cafeteria in the basement of Fraser hall has been swamped with the orders of students. If a large Commons had been at the service of the students perhaps hundreds of them would have lunched on the hill.
The new Cafeteria, small and inadequate as it is, certainly contains the nucleus of a great University Commons of the future. Appreciation of such an institution is sure to grow in the student body, and the best of support on the part of the students may be relied upon in the future. The support already accorded merely gives a vision of what is possible.
COLLEGE AN IDEAL
"There is something of the dreamer in most of our city boys," said a teacher the other day. "When the school authorities learned from their records that many boys leave high school because of their inability to master an additional language they offered a course which would fit a boy for practical work at the trades. "For a while the classes in this course were overcrowded. Gradually, however, it became known that a boy who entered 'this new course would later' (should he ever desire to enter) find the college and university doors closed to him. None who knock at the doors of these higher institutions of learning may be admitted without credits in German or Latin.
"I immediately the course became unpopular, for none wished to sacrifice the possibility of college, be it ever so slender."—New York Sun.
FALSE LOYALTY
It is well enough to be loyal to the University's athletic teams, to the class, to the fraternity, to the social professional club, and to everything else. Loyalty is the big thing in life. Remember, all the time, however, that you are here for your own personal and individual betterment, and that you must needs be loyal to yourself. If you are to develop yourself to the highest point of efficiency, to how many outside affairs can you attach a false string of loyalty? The University really ask that you be loyal to yourself and fit yourself rightly, for that is the big and only loyalty to the University. When you have been loyal to yourself and have gone out into the world as a strong, well-rounded individual, the University can point to you with pride and claim you as its product before all the world. So you help the University, and are loyal more by far than you would have been had you spent your time on the little false loyalties of petty moment.-Indiana Daily Student.
A writer in the Railway and Engineering Review recently gave the interesting results of a computation on the average daily learning capacity of the American locomotive. The estimate took account of time spent in the repair shop, increased cost of repairs and renewals, and the cost of fuel, water and the engine crew. The average earnings per locomotive a day in the East are $124.84, and on the western roads $130.84. The highest earnings in the East are on the Central Railroad of New Jersey, where the average is $147.06 a day.-Indianapolis News.
AN EDITORIAL BY MR. AESOP
A MAN came into a Wood one day and with an axe in his hand, and begged all the Trees to give him a small branch which he wanted for a tree. He made it good-natured and gave him one of their branches. What did the Man do but fix it in the axe-head, and soon set to work cutting down tree after tree. The man had seen that they had been in giving their enemy the means of destroying themselves.
GLIMPSES OF A UNIVERSITY
From "The Point of View," *Scribner's.* Our American eagle is an enterprising bird. He performs miracles with despathe, and is perhaps no more vajonglior than, under similar circumstances, we should find the tuieteburs or birds displayed on the ensigns of other countries.
UNIVERSITIES GROW FAST For it not only in the unsubstantial architecture of a white city that we exercise this marvelous velvety. Give us money enough, and we will build as solidly as you like, and not be long about it. For example, we have some very nice things to show in the way of universities, and are not overmuch concerned when we are told that universities, to be good, must grow slowly. We deeply regret that we cannot be venerable, but are not, on that account, deterred from setting up institutions which, while awaiting the dignity of age, furnish every possible facility for acquiring and imparting the accumulated learnings of the ages, along with the most up-to-date attainments of modern science.
And in the course of half a century we do very well. In less time than that we can strengthen foundations which were not deep enough at first; we can fill in a design which seemed, perhaps, to have been sketched out too largely for our means; and if possibly out university has merited the reproach of trying "to run full blast before it had got in its coal," we can repair that deficiency. All this, if we are fortunate enough to have money provided. As every one knows, a university can spend no end of money.
In the special instance which has given rise to these reflections we were so fortunate as to have a founder who literally sacrificed his life in his efforts to preserve the lands on which our future depended, until they could bring the price which needed to be paid. He显然未 got. We were fortunate in having trustees who gave to us liberally out of their abundance.
TRUSTEES MAKE MISTAKES Incidentally, in the course of time, we have been able to educate our trustees; and let me say, it is somewhat more difficult to educate trustees than students. Ours were past masters in the art of giving, but they needed much instruction in the art of governing. In their enthusiasm they governed too much, usurping, with the best will in the world, the functions of president and faculty, whom they were inclined to regard from the stand-point of employers of labor, and to treat as factory hands. They were narrowly utilitarian, regarding the university solely as a factory for the instruction of students, with scant regard to its functions of investigation and conservation. They know better now. We all—trustees and faculty alike—discover a good many of our mistakes and learn more from them than from our successes.
This year, for our festival we had perfect spring days; young leaves on the trees, the freshest of green grass and, when darkness fell, a young moon in the sky. In our choruses, young voices predominate. Our chorus is our pride; and although we import an orchestra and various soloists for the occasion, they are cast into the shade. For we have a genius for a chorus master. We number only two hundred voices, but every unit counts. And when in addition to all this you have an organist who is also an artist, it follows that the weekly choral service is a constant aesthetic influence.
For the three days of the festival the chapel is crowded, afternoon and evening, until on the third evening we end with the culminating performance, when some two hundred school-children are added to the chorus.
CRITICS KEEP BUSY.
We were much reviled at first. We placed all courses of study, literary, scientific, and industrial, on an equal footing, and the man who held the foremost position in the educational world of this country gravely announced: "The experience of the world and common sense are against such experiments." We abjured sectarianism, and the religious press fixed on us the epithet "godless," and shrieked their anathema. Yet we grew and prospered—prospered so much in our technical departments that the new reproof cast at us is that we are ultra-utilitarian. That, of course, is our danger; not our cuts, alone, but that of all our universities. Not because the governing powers deserve utilitarianism, but because the students elect it. In vain are the classics and the humanities held out to them. If those courses were insisted on many of them would go elsewhere, to merely technical schools, thereby losing something of the larger life of the university. But even in the utilitarianism of our public schools and universities we reach out for some nature. The school-childen are taught music in a way that was not known to past generations; and in our university we have an annual music festival.
FRIENDSHIP OF BOOKS
When evening has arrived, I return home and go into my study... I pass into the antique collection of ancient men, where, welcomed lovingly by them I feed upon the food which is mine, then move on. When born, I can speak with them without show and can ask of them the motives for their actions; and they respond to me by virtue of their humanity. For me together we live. I remember every exaction; I do not fear poverty; and death itself does not dismay me, for I have altogether transferred myself to those with whom I hold converse.
—NICCOLO MACHIAVELLL.
Up and up against the organ seats are built for the white-clad boys and girls. At the very top, against a background of gold pipes, is an adorable group of little boys. It is an infinitely charming sight, even though here and there the light strikes weirdly on a pair of spectacles, reminding us that the muscles behind him make his music for putting huge glasses on small children.
THE CHILDREN'S VOICES.
Our chorus master is giving us Pierne's "Children's Crusade," most difficult music, medieval in some of its effects and highly poetical throughout. There is something wonderfully appealing about a well-trained chorus of children's voices. One closes one's eyes and the safely shepherded children of the public schools are transformed into the pathetic little crusaders of the legend. We open our eyes again and find that the angelic boys up against the organ pipes are becoming a bit restless. When not singing they judge each other and laugh. Behind a solemn pair of spectacles in especial, much mischief lurks. But the instant the master waves his energetic arms in their direction all gliding ceases. Each child fixes his eyes on the conductor and sings with all his might and the utmost seriousness. And presently, with one last choral burst from all the voices, men, women, and children, the music ends and the festival is over.
The seats are emptied in a trice and we slowly file out into the warm moonlight. Among us is the man who was the first president and co-founder of the university, and who is now spending an honored old age in the house which he build on the campus. Next to him is the wanderer, come back to revisit old haunts. "You never expected to hear anything like this on this hill, did you?" says the president to the wanderer.
BIRD COURSE IS NEXT
"Birds" is the subject of a new course to be offered at the University of Oregon next semester by Prof. J. F. Bovard, head of the department of zoology. All phases of bird study will be taken up and particular observation will be made of the peculiar whims and habits of the Oregon varieties.
In conjunction with the lecture work a laboratory, period of three hours a week will be passed in field study--Portland Oregonian.

A Man Who Had Worked Hard
in Kansas for thirty years moved with his family to Lawrence the other day. Said he thought he had earned a rest and he proposed to enjoy it in the City of Homes. Said he intended to take it easy while his children finished going through school. All of which suggests that there are thousands of hard working, well-to-do citizens in Kansas who owe themselves a holiday. Lawrence proves attractive to such by reason of its unequalled advantages as a residence town—its schools and University, its beauty, and its up-to-dateness in every line of civic improvement.

WISCONSIN WOMEN TO GET SWIMMING POOL
Will Be Largest Women's Pool in the United
States
The women of the University of Wisconsin will have a new swimming pool and a new skating rink, if the plans which have recently been drawn up, meet the approval of President E. J. James. According to the plans, a swimming pool sixty by thirty feet in size is to be constructed in the interior court of the new Woman's building.
If this plan is carried out, it will give the University the largest women's swimming pool of any college in the United States. It will be covered with glass, so that it will be available at all seasons and with the added advantage of being in an in-room environment. The women's athletic faculty say that it offers great possibilities for artistic development.
It has also been decided that a skating rink is to be built in time for use next winter. The rink will be 80 by 50 feet in size, and will probably be made large enough for hockey. It will be excavated one foot and lined with concrete.

Kansas Captain Will Enter High Jump at Relay Carnival
Captain French of the Kansas track team will represent the Jaya-hawk athletes at the Pennsylvania relay carnival this year. He will be entered in the high jump and performances thus far this season give the K. U. star a place in that event. No other Kansas entries will be sent unless some of the men develop rapidly between now and the time of the meet.
The tenth annual intercollegiate and interscholastic relay carnival will be held at the University of Pennsylvania the last Saturday in April. A letter has been received by Coach W. O. Hamilton inviting entries from the University of Kansas. The letter asks that a relay team, besides the names of men proficient in other lines of athletics be entered. This will not be done however, as the University has not enough men in this branch of track athletics to make it a success.
This track meet held annually at the University of Pennsylvania is one of the largest in the United States. Last year 250 teams were entered and it was necessary to give out over 1000 contestants' tickets to accommodate all who attended. Two records were broken and all other records were closely tied. There are so many colleges and universities represented in this event that all records made are considered as American championship records.

The Kansas Rifle Club Has Fallen by the Wayside

WOMEN ATHLETES ASK FOR MORE GYM ROOM
Seventy-five Basket Ball Aspirants on a "Ten-girl" Court
Court
Womens' athletics at Kansas University must have more room," said Dr. M. L. Johnson this morning." The membership of the Woman's Athletic Association has increased to a point where a new gymnasium is not only accommodating most of the members but an increase in the teaching staff as well."
"It seems as if every girl in the university has suddenly become aware of her safety."
"Over seventy-five aspirants are out for the basket-ball team and as only ten girls can be accommodated on the narrow limits of the down-stairs court a visitor to the girls' side of the gymnasium will see the sorrowful sight of a bevy of girls vainly imploring the coach to run them in just for a minute."
Tennis follows basketball with nearly fifty enrolled, while base ball ranks next in popularity with an enrollment of thirty-five. The enrollment in the tennis team as follows: track, twenty-five, swimming twenty-three, and soccer twenty.
THE GRIDIRON IS TOO SOLID.
Frozen Ground Causes Postponement
Winter Cause at Wisconsin
Grown up at Wisconsin.
Because the field at Camp Randall was too hard to permit playing football with safety to the players, the mid-year winter game between them and Richard's football class at the University of Wisconsin, scheduled for today, was postponed until March 9. At that time it is hoped the ground will have thawed sufficiently to allow the Badger mentor's proteges to engage in the first real spring exhibition football game ever attempted by any college. The cancellation of the football game today caused a postponement of the opening of the midwinter sport carnival until tomorrow, when a toggabank contest on the University slide will inaugurate the season.

A. A. U. HELPS KICK SUMMER BALL AROUN'
Sweaters, sweaters, Jerseys, big discount at Smith's News Depot.—Adv.
Threatens Breach With Colleges if Strict Rule Is Given Up
After the college faculties, conferences and other governing boards had finished kicking the summer baseball players around the campus for the steenth time they have received reinforcements.
Moral support has arrived in the form of a loud wail from the officials of the A. A. U. who are inclined to believe that the growth of summer ball among college players has been cutting down the athletic material of the Amateur Athletic Union.
The Athletic clubs even go so far as to say that if the college teams in the west open to the summer baseball players there will be a complete break between the two.
The new Big Eight Conference rules will not work any hardship on the athlete while in college in any meet sanctioned by the A. A. U. but the rub will come after graduation when it will be impossible for him to play again as an amateur athletic club, and strictly professional clubs are scarce.
According to the rules of the A. A. U. an athlete becomes a professional the minute he competes with a professional and that would include semi-pro teams or other teams on which any member is paid. It will make no difference whether the college athlete himself receives any money as he steps out of the amateur ranks the first time he competes with professionals.
"I do not know what action the National A. A. U. will take should any case come before it," said Everett C. Brown, who is prominent in the Western Branch of the A. A. U., "but should I be asked to vote on the eligibility of a man who has competed with professionals regardless of whether he received money or not, I would be compelled to declare the man a professional. An amateur might not be financially benefited by playing with professionals, but the suspicion would be strong just the same, and we want to avoid the appearance of evil.
"The A. A. U. has nothing to do with any action taken by colleges, as we have especially kept out of college baseball, but naturally should a college man wish to compete in any meet sanctioned by the A. A. U. we would naturally have to look up his record, and if that record showed that he had competed with professionals he would be barred.
"Now there is a distinction between competing against and with professionals which should not be lost sight of. A college team might compete against a professional team without professionalizing any of the members, but it is different when the men compete with professionals. Allowing a man to compete with professionals, or those who take money for exhibiting their skill, would have the effect of putting temptations in his way and the A. A. U. has always frowned on that practice, as it is practically impossible
to prove whether or not money has been paid out or received."
Some Fine Distinctions
In the past the colleges and the A. A. U. have never been able to meet on a common ground except in isolated cases. There has been friction continually and the charges have been made that the A. A. U. has been too lax in the enforcement of amateur rules. New officers of the A. A. U. think that the shoe will be on the other foot should the different faculties of the college conference back up the action taken Saturday. A number of the minor colleges had previously taken action in regard to summer ball, letting the bars down without specifying with what kind of teams the college athletes could play.
NEW RULES WILL STAY
Yale Football Captain Believes Changes are Permanent.
Captain Jesse Spalding of the Yale football eleven, believes that the rules which have been adopted for next fall will be a success. He said today that he thought that they would be a permanent code, and would provide plenty of scoring. He said:
"Last fall coaches and captains were compelled to lie awake devising an attack. None was found by anybody that divulged a scoring play for the decisive games. The season of 1911 vanished without a scoring play. I predict that there will be plenty of scoring in 1912. The new rules make tallying easier, and the coaches will spend their time during the season planning a defense rather than an attack.
"The new rule relating to the forward pass at the end of the field was unexpected by most football captains. I had little idea that it would be adopted, but I have no wish to condemn it. There is considerable uncertainty, however, as to how it will work out. It is likely to assist in more frequent scoring."

SHOULD UNIVERSITY DEVELOP ORATORS?
Debating Council Will Decide Question of Joining Oral- torialAssociation
THE CONTEST AT DES MOINES
All Members of Conference Except Kansas and Nebraska Will Send Representatives in April
Will the University join the Missouri Valley Oratorical Association? This is the question which confronts the Debating Council for decision next week.
Debating League May Interfere
Nebraska on Fence Also
Several weeks ago a proposal was made by several colleges in the Missouri Valley athletic association that the members of that association hold an oratorical contest on the evening of the annual track meet at Des Moines in April.
GRAPES GO BEGGING
All the schools in the association with the possible exception of Nebraska and Kansas, who have not yet decided definitely, will send representatives this year.
A member of the debating council here said this morning that some objection to the encouragement of oratory in the University had been encountered. He also said that the work in debating at the University especially the number of debaters who are trained each year, is large for a school of this size, when one compares our University with other institutions of the same standing.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 29, 1912.
No Petitions Yet to Fill_Hamilton's Place on the Council
Another matter which will have some bearing on the decision in the matter is the fact that a pentangula debating league, to include the Uni versities of Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Colorado, and Kansas has been proposed and is being pushed by Texas, Colorado, and Missouri. If the University joins this league, only two debates a year will have to be prepared and the teams will have two members each, consequently the oratorical matter could be given more attention.
No petitions to fill the vacancy in the Men's Student council, made by the resignation of Sandy Hamilton, have been filed with Arch MacKinnon yet. These petitions must be handed in by March 5 or the vacancy will not be filled until that time. If not, the college would not have its full representation.
It is rumored that petitions are being circulated for William Moore, a special in the College, and for Charles Hill, a junior in the College
GEM EXPERT TO TALK
Geo. F. Kunz of Tiffany's, Sends Word Will be Here Soon.
A telegram received from Dr. Geo, F. Kunz states that he will be in Lawrence about March 6 or 7 and that while here he will give an illustrated lecture on gems and precious stones. Dr. Kunz is the world's greatest gem expert. He has been employed by Tifany and Co., of New York as head of their gem department for many years.
Dr. Kunz, while on the Pacific coast, delivered this lecture at Stanford University, the University of California, and at Los Angeles. He will stop on his return trip at Denver.

Guy W. Von Schritz, president of the junior laws, is the author of a book on Western life, entitled, "The Passing of the Cattle Days." The book is now in the hands of the publishers.
Several articles dealing with out-of-door life written by Mr. Vor Schritz have appeared in several magazines in the past few months. Last November, in "Field and Stream," appeared an article on the hunting of deer, "After Black Tail in New Mexico," and in December an article entitled "Priature Chickens." In "Country Life in America," a story will appear later on the "Beal Ranch in New Mexico." The Bea Ranch is one of the largest ranches in the United States, consisting of 800,000 acres.
Mr. Von Schritz illustrates his articles by photographs taken by himself. All of his stories deal with out-of-door life.

MUSEUM ROOF IS HOLEY
Sieve-like Top Endangers Valuable Paleontological. Specimens
The roof of the museum is in a bad way. There are twelve places where it leaks at the slightest precipitation. This causes more damage than would naturally be expected, since the water runs on down through the third floor into the second floor.
Albert LeMoine, secretary of the Men's Student Council and a senior in the School of Medicine, was taken to the Rosedale Hospital suffering from an attack of acute nephritis.
The two worst places are over the entomology room and over the paleontology laboratory. In these two rooms the condition in such that when it rains the cases must be moved away from the walls and be covered up in order to preserve the valuable specimens.
For two weeks Mr. LeMoine has been unable to attend classes on account of a severe case of tonsilitis. His present illness is the result of tonsilitis. It will be several weeks before he will be able to be on the hill.

Advance Reports of Concerts From Amarillo Caused Crowded House --Members in Good Spirits
special to the Daily Kansan.
Clovis, New Mexico, Feb. 24—The members of the glee club were of the unanimous opinion to day that New Mexican mud was more deleterious on freshly pressed white trousers than the type of mud generally encountered in Lawrence.
End to Mother of University Profes sor in Kansas City Last Night.
The trouble was caused by the obstinacy of a pair of Mexican cayues and a squeaky omnibus to which the club's return to the hotel had been entrusted. Though the club had experienced no trouble in getting to the concert despite the rain, on the return trip the contrivance stopped in the middle of the largest and worst mud hole in the vicinity.
Special to the Daily Kansan.
After vain threats against the team, the driver and the town in general, the boys were forced to roll their trousers to their knees and wade through several blocks of sticky oozy mud to reach the hotel.
On there arrival here the members were treated to another one of $k$ those dinners, which the trip has been so full of, by the Clovis Railroad Club. The Harvey house at which the dinner was given was decorated in Kansas. C. Herby, a former University of Kansas student, delivered the welcome address.
The biggest hit of the trip thus far was made at Armillaro, Texas on the night previous to the Clovis entertainment. Every member of the club was at his best and it was the general opinion of the audience that the concert was the best ever given by a University Glee Club in the city.
The audience at this place was probably the largest that the club will have on the trip. Over fifteen hundred were crowded into the Grand theater at which the concert was being held, and dozens were turned away from the doors which were closed at seven forty-five by the fire-chief.
KANSAS DEVELOPED BY OPTIMISM AND IDEALISM
Word was received at the University this morning that Professor Hubach's mother, who has been ill for some time, died in Kansas City last night. Professor Hubach received word that his mother was worse, while with the Glee club in New Mexico. He arrived in Kansas City before her death. Funeral services will be held Saturday after noon.
Professor Carl Becker Said This Spirit Aided More Than Natural Resources
"The spirit of Kansas has made Kansas a great state," said Prof. Carl Becker, of the department of history, at the regular meeting of the Y. W. C. A. in Myers hall yesterday afternoon.
"Confident optimism and idealism more than natural resources developed this great western state. The historical traditions of the Kansans, their patriotic sentiment, their tendency to boast about their state make the Kansas spirit a distinctive evidence of the Western turn of mind The Kansans gained this spirit by their resourcefulness and their stubbornness.

Fine Arts Students Wil Present Dean Skilton's Original Work
THREE ACTS ARE COMPLETE
Plot Turns About a Ghost Story of Revolutionary War Period— Staged Early Next Fall.
Orchestra practice on the four-act opera "Ticderoenge," which was written by Dean Skilton, and will be given early next fall by students of the School of Fine Arts, was started this week, under the personal supervision of Dean Skilton.
"Ticoderoga is based upon a
legend of Colonial days in America.
The legend concerns a true ghost
story which has baffled psychologists
for a century and a half, and which
has included "Parkman in a
volume of "Mountainia" Wolfe,
and in a ballad by Robert Louis
Stevenson, "Ticoderoga."
"The opera 'Ticondoroga' is a little difficult to classify," says Dean Skilton, "since it is neither a comic or a grand opera, though it contains both humorous and serious situations. It was my intention to present one of our most curious legends in dramatic form, and to combine it with scenes from our colonial period in a manner neither trivial or tedious."
The opera is in four acts, the first of which is a prologue in Scotland in which the prophecy is made under peculiar conditions and in the presence of the heroine, who is then a child. The second and third acts take place twelve years later near Albany, New York, and are full of mirth and gayetty. Here the heroine is brought without warning face to face with the great crisis of her life. A playful fortune-telling scene leads to the denouement of this part of the opera. The fourth scene is in the English camp the night before the battle of Ticondoroga. Here the prophecy made in Scotland is fulfilled for the heroine, and there is a tragic ending.

A farmer living at Sylvia sent a request to the University of Kansas today asking aid in determining whether or not poison had been placed in the food of a valuable horse that had been sent some of the food for analysis.
"The laboratory receives many such cases," said Dean Sayre, this morning. "And a great deal of work of this texicological character must be provided for. It seldom happens that the suspicions of the farmers are well investigated and when he is neglected or refused for the man's mind must be set at ease."
In the cases of loss of cattle death has been caused in some cases by the eating of poisonous weeds. A second crop of sorghum, which is fed a good deal by Kansas farmers, has been known to produce toxic action. It has also been found that damaged alfalfa had poisonous effects on animals.
eating of poisonous weeds. A second crop of sorghum, which is fed a good deal by Kansas farmers, has been known to produce toxic action. It has also been found that damaged alfalfa has had poisonous effects on animals. The farmers of Kansas are continually receiving aid from the analysts at the University. There is hardly a week goes by but that some farmer sends to the drug laboratories substance to be tested; such as grain and fodder which has produced bad effects on cattle, or food which is thought to have been poisoned by some of the farmer's enemies who wish to kill the pet dog or family horse. The University analysis test the substances and report to the farmer their findings thus saving much worry and helping to solve some of the problems of proper feeding.

CROWDED HOUSE HEARD
FIRST BAND CONCERT
Mrs. Lyons, as soloist, made a decided hit by her singing of "Sevilla" by Dessauer. The band numbers were well received, and the "Mimuet" by Paderewski, brought an extra long round of applause.
The audience at the Band concert last night was the largest that has ever attended a similar event at the University.

AUTHORITY ON ATHLETICS
WILL SPEAK IN CHAPEL
Captain Palmer Pierce, President of National Collegiate Athletic Association Comes Tomorrow
Captain Palmer E. Pierce, of Leavenworth, Kansas, will speak in chapel Friday morning, on the honor system in college athletics. Captain Pierce has been president of the National Collegiate Athletic Association since it's organization in 1905. This Association is composed of seventy of the largest colleges and universities in the United States, and is very prominent in the forming of the rules for all athletic events.
"Colleges and Universities enrolled in this Association agree to take control of student athletic sports, so far as may be necessary to maintain in them, a high standard of personal honor, eligibility, and fair play, and to remedy whatever abuse may exist."
Captain Pierce in his presidential address before the Association in 1909, expressed the sentiments of the association in regard to the control of athletics, as follows:
Captain Pierce has always been very much interested in inter-collegiate athletics, as is shown by his long term of office in the association. His talk will interest all of the students, and especially those who are athletically inclined.

POOR RICHARD SAYS:
Want of care does us more damage than want of knowledge.
WHAT'S THE MATTER!
It is a sad reflection on the loyalty, interest, and enthusiasm of the University student body, that Coach Hamilton is forced to say that the track team this year is extremely mediocre, that it is far below the average, and that only a small fraction of eligible track men have appeared for work.
It is hard to explain this situation. It must not be said that we have given up hope of defeating our friends the Tigers. Things are in a pretty shape if this is the case.
It cannot be said that the University does not posses athletes who are able to wrest a victory from Missouri. Dr. Naismith has statistics on our University stalwarts that show that in the matter of physique and brawn, they are above the average in other colleges.
It cannot be said that the facilities for training are inadequate. The University has one of the best gymnasiums in the West and one hundred and sixty acres of campus over whil all are at liberty to run and jump.
It cannot be said that we do not desire to be victorious in track as well as in other athletic activities.
The only logical conclusion, then is that there is a lack of push, of interest, of a desire to do things among the student body generally. Such a condition ought not exist. There are a hundred men in school at this very moment who have every chance to be point winners on the track and they ought to take the call of Coach Hamilton to heart.
Our running track ought to be filled with live, vigorous, healthy men who are out, not so much for the possible points that they may add but for the good that they will do themselves individually and the interest they will create in track work

GIRLS' BROADENING INTERESTS
Although Coach Hamilton may have his troubles in getting men out for athletics, there is unusual activity among the University co-eds in things athletic and, according to reports, the girls are invading the gymnasium in squads, battalions, and even bevy's, to use the very words of Dr. M. L. Johnson, of the department of physical culture.
Time was when the physical education of the girl was considered unnecessary and was relegated to a position far back and little used in their curriculum. It was deemed sufficient for them to take a course that would eventually make them "moh culticed" and little attention was given to attaining a physical perfection that is more useful in later life than a ten-year course in drawing or pianola playing.
The University recognizes that its girls must be sound in body as well as in mind and it is taking steps to
offer to those interested every opportunity to take physical training The interest that is being manifested by the young women presages the growing activity that they are taking in college affairs.
The time is coming, and it is not far off, when athletics among women will be as distinct as those now given over to the men.

SPRING POEMS BARRED
In view of the editorial in Tues day's issue of The Daily Kansan headed "Checks Are Due," a student has turned up who implores "dad" in the following touching way:
In days a few, my room rent's due,
And money not a bit.
In days gone by, food's been so high
I have had none of it.
I'm full of woe, but shrunken so,
None of my clothes will fit.
In direful need, I therefore plead,
O, Father, Please remit.
COLLEGE JOURNALISM
Within the past few years, many universities and colleges throughout the country, giving liberal arts courses have installed courses in journalism. At the same time, newspaper and journalist work in all the universities has increased, both in quality and quantity; so that even now these forces are influencing newspaperdom.
From the stage, not long past when a newspaper was run successfully by a man with one or two ideas and a few dollars worth of type, the present newspaper represents a large amount of capital investment and an army of trained and experienced workers. With each day the newspaper man is becoming more nearly a man with a profession, and it is here that the universities, are exerting a mighty influence. Men impressed with the idea that newspaper work is work done in the exercise of a profession will work with the dignity becoming professional men.—Purdue Exponent.
A GREAT JEWISH UNIVERSITY There is a prospect of the establishment of a Jewish University at Jerusalem. A wealthy Indian Jew has bequeathed $400,000 to found a college at that city. According to the London Jewish Chronicle, this is likely to become the nucleus of a university endowment.
The library at Williams College has recently secured two volumes of "The Magdalen Churchyard," translated from the French by Samuel Mackay, the first professor of French in Williams College. The books were published in 1809.
QUARREL had arisen between the Horse and the Stag, so the Horse came to a Hunter to ask his help to take revenge on the Stag. The Horse then desired to conquer the Stag, you must permit me to place this piece of iron between your jaws, so that I may guide you with these reins, and allow this saddle to be placed upon your back so that you can follow after the enemy." The Horse agreed to the conditions, and the Hunter soon saddled and bridled him. Then with the aid of the Hunter the Horse soon overcame the Stag, and remove those things from my mouth and back."

LANDS ON THE POOR GRIND
To The Daily Kansan:
This is the convex version of the "grind." Every point of view brings up an opposite viewpoint, states the truth, and then puts on pants on the "Tin't of the Tain't."
"It's the air and popularity.",
"It'sweet and be popular,
everyone loves you so."
What's the use in being a grind when a fellow might be a man—a real man? Legs that are not too wobbly to carry him up the hill; eyes not too dull to smile at a friend; head not too bent to see the sun.
Why should a man waste the precious hours of his youth and inspiration over a mere groveling for I's? Why narrow his horizon when he might be broadening it? Notebooks, note books! If his house were to burn down, with his note-books in the bottom drawer of his dresser, puff! his education disappears in his
The popular man is not without brains. He is not an idle chatterer. Why is it offices and honors fall to his lot? Because he is a gay deceiver? No, because he has shoulders broad enough to carry responsibility, and a head clear enough to manage affairs. He has personality enough to become more than one of the intellectual mob, trying to "git educated." Come on you old grind and get busy. We know it isn't your real nature. Don't be a Boston Bean!
MYSTERIOUS?
To the Daily Kansan:
University students might be interested in knowing that a certain street corner in Lawrence has a most peculiar attraction at night. People passing along at its southwest corner may be seen to stop and gaze interestedly at something on the side-walk. Some look and utter utter words of serious import; some look and laugh; some look in silence; some look and criticise, now from one point, now from another; but all look in more or less wonderment.
One of the conditions of the contest is that one copy of the essay be sent to the contestant's Senator or Representative at Washington. In addition to the $20 prize, second and third prizes of $10 and $5 are offered, and a number of $1 prizes for other meritorious essays.—Portland Oregonian.
The corner is that at the intersection of Berkeley and Tennessee streets. —O. M. C. Y.
There on the side-walk is a shadow—a silhouette-picture, if you please—the face of Abraham Lincoln. It is cast on the side-walk by an odd tangle of roots at the base of a tree, which is in the wind; the head of Hair, forehead, nose, mouth, beard, they are all there, almost as true to life as possible.

FAVORS TOOTY-TOOT To the Daily Kansan;
The proposed use of the power-house whistle to announce the beginning and end of class periods has much to recommend it, provided an adequate electric bell system cannot be maintained. Absolute uniformity in the dismissing and the taking up of classes is the thing that warrants. Under the bell ring, it is easily lacked, some of the buildings the bells ring; in some they do not. Some of the professors dismiss their classes when the bells ring; some do not.
The blowing of the whistle can be heard easily all over the campus and there would be no excuse ordinarily for the holding over of classes. The system and system thus made possible should remedy the evils that now exist.
FOR A NEW REPUBLIC
The announcement of the prize essay contest, open to all public school children of the United States, is one of the features of the second number of the New Republic, the new Chinese paper started in Portland recently. The subject of the essay is: "Why should the United States be the first among the nations to recognize the new Republic?" It costs $20. Upon midnight of the day that the indication indicated is taken the contest will close, providing it is not later than April 30 next. It will close at midnight on that date, in such event.
As for ten-minute intermission between classes, it is doubtful if these would be needed if promptness were exercised in dismissing classes. No two buildings are more than five minutes apart. And, if only a five-minute intermission is given, students will hasten from class to class, while if a ten-minute intermission is given they will take their time and are perhaps even more likely to be late than if they had less time for the change.
Neverlate.
FRIENDSHIP OF BOOKS
What a place is an old library! It seems as though all the souls of all the writers, that have bequeathed their labors to these Bodleians, were reposing here as in some dormitory or amid other buildings, and to handle profane the leaves, their winding sheets. I could as soon dislodge shade I seem to initiate learning, walking amid their foliage; and the odor of these woodlands must fragrant as the first bloom of those seciential apples which grew amid the happy orchard.
CHARLES LAMB.
WHY IS LEAP YEAR?
The origin of the privilege that all women are supposed to have when every fourth year the dangerous period, known as "leap year" comes around, has up to now in the minds of most people been shrouded in proverbial mystery. A Scotch contemporary has come forward with a historical explanation of the matter whose authenticity may be judged from the general details and from its excellent basis in feminine psychology. "It appears" he says "that in the year 1288 a statute was published by the Scotch parliament ordaining that during the reign of 'Her Majist Blessit Majestic Margaret' every maiden and lady of high and low estate should have liberty to speak to the man she liked. If he refused to take her to be his wife, she would have the privilege of fining him 100 pounds or less, according to his estate, unless he could make it appear that he was betrothed to another woman, in which case he would be free to refuse. After the death of Margaret, the women of Scotland became clamorous for their privileges, and to appease them another act of parliament allowed them to propose every fourth year."
It is to be supposed that many of the more heartless males were able to "make it appear" that they were already betrothed, but the inference from the "clamorousness" of the women for their privileges after the death of their queen that a sufficient number of the less decided eligibles were bagged as a result of the right, to make it a principle worth fighting for. The times were undoubtedly some of the most stirring that Scotland has ever seen. It is unfortunate that the scribe has not recorded what prinkings there were on the part of some and what rushings to the aile houses on the part of others to make themselves undesirable specimens. A man might be put in the position of walking forth at midday with the fear of something worse than midnight highwaymen upon him, without being furnished with the defences he would have for ordinary perils. The fine imposed has the nature of poisoning the arrow. When the purchasing power of money in those distant times is considered, when the high cost of living was not so much as a prophecy, the force of the act is realized. If such a penalty were imposed on a modern man, and he saw the alternatives of the loss of some thousands of dollars or of matrimony staring him in the face, he would be a man worthy to be head of a trust whose veracity would not yield to the wrench. And with the apparently unlimited number of offers that the damsel of romantic inclinations might make she would indeed be a "tough specimen" who did not eventually make sure of an acceptance. Happily the good old times cannot return.
OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
OPPORTUNITY
This I beheld, or dreamed it in a dream;—
There spread a cloud of dust along a plain;
And underneath the cloud, or in it raged
A furious battle, and men yelled, and swords
Shocked upon swords and shields. A prince's banner
Wavered, then staggered backward, hemmed by foes.
A craven hung along the battle's edge,
And led driids "Had I a sword of keener steel"
That blue blade that the king's son bear;-but this
Blunt thing—"I" he snapt and flung it from his hand,
And lowering crept away and left the
Then came the king's son, wounded sore bestead,
And weaponless, and saw the broken sword.
Hilt buried in the dry and trodden sand,
And ran and snatched it, and with battle-shout
Lifted afresh he hewed his enemy down
And bared a great cause that heroic day

FIFTY-SIX PER CENT SLAP OPPORTUNITY
High School Education Pathway Strewn With Quitters Along the Route
Fifty-six percent of the young people of Kansas who start in the race for a high school education never finish the course. This statement is confirmed by figures compiled by W. H. Johnson, high school visitor, for the University. Johnson bases his report upon the total enrollment figures for the high schools of the state during the years 1907-11 and 1908-12.
Of the total 8855 students who entered as freshmen in '07 only 3671 were in at the finish in 1911. In 1908 there were some 9133 freshmen and of this mumber only 4723 will graduate at the end of this present term.
The biggest percentage drop out after the first year, and the percentage loss decreases with each advancing year of the high school work.

Do you know that it is the policy of this store to sell the kind of shoes that are not sold in the average store and that in order to do that we choose the very smartest models that the skilled makers of this country produce?
The hand that guides this shoe business is always holding out something to cause men and women of Lawrence to sit up and take notice of their footwear needs.

Basket Ball Team Will Play Last Scheduled Games This Week.
PLAY AT MANHATTAN TONIGHT
Games at Lincoln Will Not Decide Championship Bat Will Point Out Probable Winner.
The Kansas basket ball five left this afternoon on the last tour of the 1912 season. Tonight they will meet the aggies at Manhattan. From there they march the course and finish the journey with two games in Lincoln with Stiehm Cornuskers.
The Aggie game will without doubt be a fast, hard battle. The Manhattan lads have improved since their Eastern Kansas invasion and are much stronger than when they played in the earlier part of the season. The Aggies played well against Manhattan recently and defeated the Blue Diamonds by a huge score.

The Corinhusker five, though their playing may be more finished than when they appeared here, will be weaker than when they defeated K. U., because of the absence of Jimmy Gibson, the star forward.
While the contests that will be staged in the Cornhusker town are not to count in the Missouri Valley championship contest they will furnish a good index for the championship struggle that is to follow later. Kansas has the leadership of the south safely in her grasp though the margin is small. Nebraska is far and above all the other teams in the northern section. If the pro team carries out as intended at the time of the contest, the schedule the two teams will meet in three post season games to decide the Valley Championship regardless of the outcome of the two battles at Lincoln Friday and Saturday nights.

Winter Carnival at Dartmouth
Dartmouth College held its second annual winter carnival last week.
The program of events include the senior reception, a basket-ball championship game, the unique and characteristic features of ski-jumping, and ski and snowshoe races. One night a grand dance was given and another night the dramatic club presented the comedy, "The Importance of Being Earnest."
J. F. Resleure, captain of the swimming team of the University of California, broke the coasts' record for 44 yards in the dual meet, held last week between the San Francisco and Berkeley Y. M. C. A. teams. Resleure covered the distance in 5:49 1-5. The previous record was 5:55.

Hamilton Wants an Extra Game
Warden in Cornhusker
Contests
Before starting on their journey northward with his basketball ball Jayhawkers, Coach Hamilton wired Athletic Director Clapp of Nebraska asking that two officials be appointed to serve in the coming Jayhawk-Cornhusk contest. Hamilton even offered to pay the expenses of one of the men if the Nebraskans felt that the use of two officials be too great a drain on their Athletic treasury.
The reson for this generosity on the part of the Kansas Manager-Coach is not far away. Nebraska plays the eastern style of basket ball which is a sort of modified football. The southern division schools have not used this type of a game for some time and it was agreed at the meeting in Kansas City that it should be shandoned by the conference.
According to reports the men who has worked in the Nebraska contests in Lincoln has been inclined to overlook the decision of the conference and therefore Hampton thought it would be wise to add ment to furnish another official. Teuton of Kansas City Central High School has been suggested for second.

Hamilton Says Athletics Depend More on Work Than on Ability.
"The track athletes that have been the most successful in this University have been men that were worse than second class at the start," said Coach Hamilton this morning. "By perseverance those men developed themselves until they have a clear lead over more talented but less persevering athletes.
"The track men are made not born."
"The presence or the absence of perseverance and spirit makes a school's athletics," continued the coach. "The reason for one school's apparent superiority over another in one line of sport is not necessarily the difference in coaching or the difference of climatic conditions so much as the difference in the spirit and motivation of the students and the perseverance with which they confidently peg away expecting to beat the school just as they did last year and the year before that."
The coach believes that the proof of this statement is found in our athletic relations with Missouri. Year after year we always manage to beat them in basket-ball while they reciprocate by whipping us just as often in track.
This is not because we have a better squad of basket-ball players to pick from than Missouri or because of the fact that we have beaten Missouri so often in the past but for the reason that our players, year after year, go into the game with determination and spirit and are willing to spend time and use perseverance to accomplish this purpose.

"When Kansas beats Missouri in track it will be because we show the same spirit," said Hamilton, "in our track activities that we are now showing in basket-ball. At present a very small part of the available track material in Kansas University tryout and sticks with it."

ILLINOIS-MISSOURI MEET
Tigers Submit to Illinois Demands for Hammer Throw.
709 Mass. Street
Final arrangements for the dual track meet between Illinois and Missouri at Columbia this spring have been completed. Some difficulty arose in regard to the hammer-throw event. By the rules of the Missouri Valley Conference, this event has been eliminated from the list, and the Missouri men were desirous of applying that rule to the meet with Illinois. As this is a regular number of the Big Eight list of events the Illinois authorities objected to omitting it. Coach Brewer, of the Gold and Black team, has acquired, so the hammer throw will be on the schedule of events.
The Missouri team was the big surprise of last season's track events, coming in as a "dark horse" and carrying away first honors in the Western Intercollegiate Conference meet by a big margin. The men from the "Show-Me" state have a number of star men and will give Coach Gill's well balanced team a close run for honors.
Professor Hubach will meet his classes at the University on Monday.

LAWRENCE, KAN.
A Man Who Had Worked Hard
in Kansas for thirty years moved with his family to Lawrence the other day. Said he thought he had earned a rest and he proposed to enjoy it in the City of Homes. Said he intended to take it easy while his children finished going through school. All of which suggests that there are thousands of hard working, well-to-do citizens in Kansas who owe themselves a holiday. Lawrence proves attractive to such by reason of its unequalled advantages as a residence town—its schools and University, its beauty, and its up-to-dateness in every line of civic improvement.
