ENGINEERS' DAY.
Engineers' day marked an epoch in the history of student life at the University of Kansas. Several years ago the laws instituted their annual "Uncle Jimmy Day," but it has never taken a form so elaborate in nature as that shown by the engineers yesterday. Beginning with the demonstration in chapel, including that wonderful parade with all of the trimmings, the athletic meet in the afternoon, and the dance at night, everything that was attempted was a complete success. Every item of the day's program was significant of things that belong to engineering life. And with it all there was marked good feeling toward all.
Engineers' Day yesterday was significant because it marked the starting of a custom that is bound to endure as long as the University stands. The institution of an annual stunt day for every school in the University has long been needed and now that the engineers have set a precedent we may expect to see the other schools fall in line.
Our University has always lacked traditions. Other schools have days which are counted by the student body as the best of their school days. Kansas has never had these days, and the Engineers' Day, established yesterday.is bound to become known as the initial attempt to establish traditions and customs that are to become an intrinsic part of all University life.
Considering that the Y. M.-Y. W.C.A. party tonight is to be in the nature of an old-fashioned
barn party, it is to be expected that the Thalians will give a few samples of their dancing ability.
A COMPARISON.
Under the caption "How Nebraska Treats its University," The Topeka Daily Capital comments on the difference in appropriations between the University of Nebraska and our University. The editorial says:
Nebraska's legislature has got along to the final consideration of appropriation bills and is worried at their amount. The appropriations threaten to be a large increase over 1909. According to the Lincoln State Journal the Nebraska appropriations in 1905 were something over $3\frac{1}{2}$ millions per annum, for 1907 nearly $4\frac{1}{2}$ millions and for 1909 $5\frac{1}{2}$ millions. This year they will go higher. The appropriations by the Kansas legislature just adjourned were higher than ever heretofore, and yet were 2 million dollars less for the two years than the appropriations in 1909 in Nebraska, a state not as wealthy as Kansas and not as populous. Nebraska has placed its University on a settled financial footing by setting aside a fixed levy of 1 mill, thus avoiding the necessity of going into the details of the University budget in hurried ways and means committee meetings at every session of the legislature, and the necessary "lobbying" by the Chancellor. A mill levy for the University of Kansas would look like a godsend to Chancellor Strong, who is compelled to come to the legislature in behalf of the needs of his institution, and yet is accused by small politicians of "lobbying' and invited to go back to Lawrence and attend to his official duties. The way to keep the University from "lobbying" is to give it a settled income and remove the necessity of explaining matters at every session to ways and means committees who know nothing of the University or its needs.
The speech in chapel yesterday by Dean Clark of the University of Illinois, was well received. Dean Clark speaks as one who has been a student himself and he shows sympathy with all of the trials and tribulations of College days.
The series of lectures by Dean Shailer Mathews and Dr. Frank Sanders that have just been concluded, were attended by large and interested crowds each day. Visits from such brilliant thinkers are sure to elevate the thoughts of the student body.The keen interest that was manifested by all is evidence that the lectures were a great success.
Rodney Elward, who made his first trip to Lawrence yesterday, also diagnosed the ailment of the Lawrence squirrels as melancholia.—Dodd Gaston in Topeka Capital
Et Tu, Brute.
One hundred and seventy-five students have enrolled in the classes in journalism at the University of Wisconsin this year, an increase of more than 50 per cent above the number last year. The students represent thirteen states and two foreign countries, one student being an East Indian, from Calcutta, and another an Armenian, from Harpott. More than 160 students are taking courses in advertising. The Students' Advertising Club, said to be the first of its kind in any American university, has a membership of 101, and has just affiliated with the Associated Advertisers' Clubs of America. New courses in the technique of printing and publishing, and in trade and technical journalism, are announced for next year.

EDITOR VIEWS.
There certainly is a great deal of carelessness existing somewhere in the caring for the campus. Stock daily roams over it, destroys trees, and in bad weather tramping the sod into the ground. Somebody is shirking duty.

There will be special Lenten service on Sunday evening, April 2, at 7:45 o'clock, in the Presbyterian church; sermon by Rev. Francis A. Wilber, of Westminster hall, upon "The All-Important Question;" this service will have reference to the Institute of Religion and the addresses upon "Jesus as a Teacher." Quay Barnett will sing. University students are especially invited.
Presbyterian Church.
In connection with the general discussion of the "point" system at Columbia, the Spectator, the undergraduate daily newspaper, has come forward with the suggestion that it is perhaps unfair in that it rests solely upon the number of prescribed hours of classroom work, and not upon the relative importance of the subject or the actual amount of time the student gives to it. In other words, it places all courses upon the same basis, so far as credit is concerned.
Dr. S. J. Hunter, of the department of entomology will give an address before the meetings of the American Association of Nurserymen at St. Louis, on July 14. Doctor Hunter will talk on the subject of "Some Entomological Problems Which Concern the Nurseryman."
JUDAISM'SRISE TO POWER.
Dr. Sanders Tells of Movement Toward Christianity.
"The establishment of Judaism," was Prof. Frank K. Sanders' subject for his fourth and last talk on "Six Creative Centuries of Ancient Israel." "In the sixth century before Christ there were," according to the speaker, "two distinct views as to the establishing and preserving of the Jewish religion. The prophet, Ezekiel, favored the exclusion of all foreigners from their religion. Jeremiah represented the second view which was of a missionary nature. The former method led to Judaism while the latter led to Christianity. In this period all of the prophets seemed to think that when God carried out his purpose in the future he would restore the empire. This gradually gave way to the thought of an ideal Israel with good Israelites who could preach anywhere and who did not even need the temple of Jerusalem, which had been destroyed by the Babylonians. However, the prophet, Hagaii urged the rebuilding and Cyrus, king of Persia, and now master of the country, gave permission to the Jews to rebuild it. But the Israeliitish nobles and cultured people, who had been transferred to Babylonia by that power, were not anxious to return and rebuild the city. At this time ambitious Jews could do better away from Israel; but a few returned and rebuilt the city, thus showing great patriotism and heroism.
"The Persian yoke was lighter than that of Babylonia. The reason was that Cyrus was one of the most clever persons in dealing with subjugated people, for he treated them square, and once having conquered a tribe it seldom revolted. Israel, during the Babylonian captivity, had paid double for her sins. Now she began to realize some of her own meanness and that Jehovah must have something ahead for her as she was still intact and alive. As a result the Jews began to figure how God would carry out his plans, but were unsuccessful, as God has his own ways. Gradually they realized the meaning of the sentence. 'Israel is yet destined to be Jehovah's herald unto the ends of the world.' Immediately they began to live more rightously and to impress their neighbors with the nobleness of their religion."
For their annual triangular debate, to be held on April 3, Yale, Harvard, and Princeton have chosen this subject: "Resolved. That elective State officials should be nominated by the direct primary."
