THE UNIVERSITY PUBLIC MEN.
AND
The coming of William J. Bryan to the University Sunday promises to be one of the events of the collegiate year. Party lines will be forgotten and everyone will turn out to welcome him as one of the foremost leaders of America regardless of whether they believe implicitly in the principles he advocates or not. And the university should welcome heartily the public men that come within its doors. Nothing can help the school more than to have more and more of the men who are really doing things or who stand for things in the thought and policy of the nation here. It is a splendid thing for the students to come in contact with such men. It cannot but broaden their views and keep them in closer touch with what is going on in the world of public affairs.
The University has been extremely fortunate in securing such men this winter. Bryan and Governor Johnson, who will deliver the commencement address, are without doubt the two most prominent leaders of the Democratic party of today. Miss Ida Tarbell stands preeminent in the school of writers who have turned their pens loose on corporate dishonesty. Dr. Lyman Abbott is regarded as one of the deepest thinkers of America and is one of the greatest of modern editors.
The Kansan hopes that this movement to secure public men not of the second or third rank, but from the very leaders themselves, to speak at the University, will meet with even greater success than it has in the past.
The campaign to secure a new University hospital is not receiving the attention from

the student body that it merits. The matter of health is a vital one to every student and can not afford to be passed over lightly. The agitation for a hospital must have the backing of the students or it is doomed to failure from the outset. The plan of the health board to tide over the period until a hospital can be received from the state, is a good one and should be heartily supported by every student.
The Kansan cannot help expressing a long loud, Rock! Chalk! Jaykawk! K. U., as it chronicles the glorious victories of the basketball squad on its eastern invasion. The team is playing really classy basketball from start to finish and is displaying pluck and staying powers that the loyal rooters here at home can well be proud of. With the season's series with Missouri alone as victories, the team would be a grand success, but it is not stopping there but is sending one squad after another down to defeat without a halt in the performance. The basketball boys certainly deserve all the praise they are receiving for the splendid games they have been playing.

Eat Less Meat and Be Happy Says Dr. Chittenden.
Professor Russell H. Chittenden, director of the Scientific school of Yale, delivered the annual Sigma Xi lecture to a large audience in Fraser Hall, Monday evening. The lecture was on "Some New View Points in Nutrition" and was technical. Dr. Chittenden was introduced by Professor E. Haworth.
In his address in chapel in the morning Professor Chittenden told about economy in nutrition in its bearing on personal health and efficiency. He suggests that less food be taken at breakfast and lunch by those people who are unwilling to dispense with one meal entirely.
