PAGE TWO THE DAILY IOWAN, STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA Tuesday, June 17, 1919 THE DAILY IOWAN A morning paper published during the six weeks summer session on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays by The Daily Iowan Publishing company at 103 Iowa avenue, Iowa City. - Under direction of department of journalism, Room 14, liberal arts building MILDRED E. WHITCOMB, in charge - MEMBER IOWA COLLEGE PRESS - Subscription Rate....50 cents the summer - BOARD OF TRUSTEES C.H. Weller, chairman. E.M. McEwen, Mary Anderson, Marian Dyer - EDITORIAL STAFF BETH WELLMAN Editor-in-chief Telephone, Black 1757; Office hours 1-5 Daily. Room 14, L.A. building - Marian Dyer Managing Editor (Rest of staff to be announced later) - BUSINESS STAFF ROMOLA LATCHEM, Business Manager Telephone, 935; Office hours, Daily 9-12 103 Iowa Avenue - THE SENIORS Gladstone remarked on his death bed, "I am just beginning to live." It indeed in a statement of significance from the lips of a man who lived a renowned and great life in public office. His vast scope of knowledge doubtless dictated such a statement in all sincerity, for excessive wisdom gives cognizance of one's excessive ignorance. Several hundred students of the University are leaving the halls forever. They are entering upon the fields of business, industry, education, professionalism, to contribute their bit to the world and to humanity. In the words of Gladstone, they indeed are the ones who are beginning to live. They are the embryo of tomorrow's society. Upon them rests the hope of posterity in democracy and social order for they are the men and women of tomorrow who must conduct the nation and solve the great problems of the day. As the senior leaves the halls of Old Gold, he is aware that for him life is just beginning; that he has contributed nothing to society any more than his influence and moral integrity; that he has been a parasite upon humanity, scanning books and absorbing knowledge at the expense of others; that before him lies an unlimited field to repay the service which has been given him. His is a duty to humanity and should be a life of service. Yes, the senior is just beginning to live. He is new in the great world of contribution; he is new in the struggle for economic existence; he is new in the sharing of government; he is new in the practical ways of life. He must conform his life from one of illusions and theories to one of practical value. His is the beginning of industrial effort - a new life in a new world. Doubtless when life has been lived and a retrospect of the seniors's activities pass in panorama the seniors will say with Gladstone, "I am just beginning to live." For with age one's duties become more evident and one's ignorance and insignificance more manifest. The duty of the senior is to live life to its fullest and then will he realize at life's close that he is just beginning to live. Therein lies the reward of success. - OUR SUMMER PAPER For the first time this year The Daily Iowan is to try publication during the summer session. There will be three issues a week, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, for the first six weeks' term. Out of thirty exchanges received at The Daily Iowan office from various colleges and universities throughout the country, only two others are publishing summer editions. One of these, The Evening Missourian, of Columbia, Mo., is a city paper which runs on a twelve month basis; the other paper having a summer issue is The Daily Cardinal of Madison, Wis., which, like the Iowan, is trying out this plan for the first time. It also is to be published but three times a week. We have been told that we have before us a difficult task. Reporters and editors who have been working on the paper during the year have left the school for vacation or are in the graduating class. Those in attendance at the summer school are an altogether different group than those who are here for the academic year; they are here mainly for specialization or further work along some particular line. Most of the summer students are teachers preparing for next year's work, and are not primarily interested in journalism. In spite of these obstacles, however, we feel that we can make a success of the paper, provided we have the cooperation and help of the students. This will be a matter of mutual help; if you will help us, then we can the better help you. - SOCIETY AND PERSONAL Mr. and Mrs. Kleaveland of Jewell are here to attend the graduation of their daughter Sophia. Mr. and Mrs. P. O'Grady of Ayrshire are visiting their daughter Kathleen, who receives her degree today. Bernard O'Grady, and Harry O'Grady, LL. B. '16, who has returned from France, are also here for the occasion. Madeline Coonan is entertaining her mother and her brother Tom who has just returned from France. Miss Coonan receives her B.A. degree today. Lucile Shunstron, a Tri Delt at Coe ,is visiting Lenore Osgood at the Alpha Xi Delta house. Mrs. Bert Wilvert and Mrs. Ophmer of Muscatine are visiting Ina Wilvert. Frank Turner, who attended the University in 1917-18, is visiting friends in Iowa City for commencement. Mr. and Mrs. Grant N. Spinden of Davenport are the guests of Rowena and Beth Wellman today. Judge A.K. Stewart and Lawrence Stewart of Des Moines are visiting Ruth Stewart this week. Judge Stewart is a graduate of the University, class of '89. Lawrence Stewart, his son, was a professor of art in Drake University before going into the service. He was with the Rainbow division and has only recently returned to the United States. - Girls of the class of 1919 held a reunion luncheon at Whiting's yesterday noon. Mrs. Dorothy Wickersham McComish of the class of '99 came all the way from Coulsa, Cal., to attend the reunion this commencement. - STAFF AND CIRCLE PICNIC Old and new Staff and Circle girls were entertained at a supper on Currier Hall lawn at 5:30 yesterday evening. Among the members of former years present were: Myrtle Tudor, Magdalene Freyder, Naomi Gunderson, Lucy Scales, Gladys Kirk, Gwendolyn McClain, Margie Pickering Adamson and Cornelia Prentiss Shrauger.
