THE UNIVERSITY THE LABORERS
AND
Ten years ago, any labor leader called upon to address any University audience, would have considered it necessary to justify his position and explain his attitude toward social and labor problems. As showing that Universities are coming closer to the people in all walks of life and that University professors and students have a keen interest in and a fine appreciation of the problems of the laborer, it may be interesting to note how John Mitchell is received at the institutions where he lectures. Every place students and faculty in large numbers hear him and show sympathetic interest in his work. The increasing broad mindedness of college men is rapidly closing the gap between the brain workers and muscle workers, and the laborers are coming to realize that a University may have benefits for all the people.
Professor Walker's chapel talk this morning corrected some popular misapprehensions as to who pays the bills when University instructors go on trips to attend association meetings of various kinds, while their classes drift about on the sea of learning without a rudder, as it were. It seems that these trips, together with the writing of erudite treatises which are "born to blush unseen," are necessary to maintain the standing of the University abroad. The professor loses not only money but much valuable time, and the students lose out on knowledge that they are thirsting for, but what at first seems to be an economic waste is perhaps counterbalanced by the added prestige which accrues to the University.
With a new coach and twenty players going through spring practice daily, Missouri has already won next Thanksgiving's game in her own mind. The Tigers generally pull the game out of the fire by a close score in the late spring or in the
early autumn but the memory of man recalleth not the time in previous years when they pocketed the contest so early in the day.
The County Clubs did good service for the University during the basketball tournament. The high school students were entertained by the club members, shown about the campus and interested in the school. Not a few of them promised to be students here next fall.
A story of merit must entertain the imagination; a picture properly composed will do likewise. MOFFETT photographs have these qualities and satisfy where all others have failed; ask the seniors who have them.
One of the biggest triumphs ever known in the headwear world has been achieved by the Imperial factory in the production of their new spring lines. Not only does the variety of styles and colors surpass anything previously known in $3 headwear, but the makers have given another demonstration of their unique enterprise by using, in each hat, a quality of materials and workmanship not possessed by any other $3 hats in the world. We would like every man in Lawrence and vicinity to see this display. We have the complete spring lines and they are certainly a treat to behold.
