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,
Feb. 13, 1912. Chancellor.
Henry Maloy has some good cartoon work in the University Daily Kansan. Mr. Maloy is the broth av a boy who illustrated the Romance of the Plural Verb and the Singular Subject, printed in the Republican and Collier's Weekly last spring, being the collaborated work of Norman Happgood, Esq., and Our Old Man—Toronto Republic.

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.
"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.

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.
