The good work which the Y. M.C.A. is doing among the students is only the more emphasized by the visits to the University of such men as "Dad" Elliott. It is the influence of such men that makes for the moral betterment of the student body, and destroys the false notion that a man can not be an all round college man and at the same time stand for moral integrity and christian principles. "Dad" is a fraternity man and his visits to the various fraternity houses of Lawrence should be prolific of much good. There has always been compliant, and much of it justly made, that the life of the fraternity man is lax. But "Dad" Elliott demonstrated that a man can be a fraternity man and at the same time encourage the strictest morality. "Dad" was also an athlete, yet he took a deep interest in all college affairs. When such college men as Elliott find universal admiration and are respected by all men it is strange that there are not more of the kind in colleges and universities.
Tomorrow representatives of the different fraternities will meet for the purpose of trying to form a Pan-Hellenic organization that will in some manner regulate fraternity affairs at the University and especially put a damper on social excesses. That such control of fraternities should be, can not be disputed. The Chancellor has repeatedly sounded a warning. The good people all over the state have held up their hands in horror many times. But how to correct these faults. Organize a PanHellenic. Give it power to act and enforce its ruling. Far better that the fraternities regulate
themselves than that the State law or faculty impose regulations as other State institutions have done. If the wish to improve fraternity life at Kansas University is present in the minds of every man,at meeting tomorrow something can be done that will certainly improve fraternities in the view of those who stand off and look on.
Some time ago a widow, sourced on life and all the good things it contains, offered Swarthmore College a million dollars providing that all athletics be dropped. Ye god of Achilles! What, drop athletics. No, not Swarthmore. They don't want the million. What would a school be without athletics? Like a tail without a dog, a rudder without a ship. It is a good stand the school has taken in refusing the gift. Let the widow keep her mighty mite for she wants more for it than it is worth.

Washington Irving last week, got his paper back marked up, "Unity." "This passage lacks force." "Very bad English." "Rewrite the whole paragraph."
Three beautiful co-eds came into the Kansan office the other day.
"Sir, will you kindly show us your press room and how you do the pressing?" inquired one with lofty Bostonionesque dignity of a freshman reporter who rose to greet them.
"Why er—er!" gasped the timid fellow, blushing red with embarasment,"we don't do such things down here. This ain't no pantatorium."
VALUABLE GIFT TO LIBRARY.
Over Two Hundred Volumes Received from Mrs. Deacon.
The library has come into permanent possession of two hundred and one volumes which it has for many years held only as a loan.
Last Monday Mrs. Harriet M. Deacon, of Harrisonville, Mo., formerly Mrs. Dudley C. Haskell, came to the library and told Miss Watson that she wished to make her loan a permanent one. These books are standard works on Economics, Political Science and History and were a part of the library of Congressman Haskell, who died December 16, 1883.
This loan originally came at a time when even a small addition to the number of books in the library was an important event in the progress of the University. One hundred seventy-seven of these volumes were put under the control of Miss Watson July 26,1887.In those days the library was small enough to be kept in Fraser hall. On November 1, 1890 Mrs.Haskell added twenty-four more volumes to her loan.
Large Public Speaking Classes.
The work in the department of public speaking and debate is receiving more than usual attention this year: Professor E. G. Frazier states that the enrollment for the different courses is larger than for any previous year. He has the assistance of W. W. McCanles, A. B. '07, in the eight o'clock classes.
