Diamond Jubilee Has Interest for All

To gain an appreciation of the Uni-
versity’s glorious past, a survey of its
present scope and a view toward its fu-

of the 75th Anniversary Celebration
planned for next June 5 to 9.

A university-wide exposition includ-
ing reopening of Dyche Museum,
which has been closed since 1932, the
return of outstanding alumni as speak-
ers and to bring exhibits of their work,
forums and symposia in the various de-
partments, reunions of scores of classes
and other groups will make up the at-
traction of the occasion. Regular Com-
mencement events will be run off as
part of the exercises.

It is planned to publish a pictorial
history of the University in connection
with the event. Professor Robert Taft
is the author.

 

For the convenience of returning al-
umni, most of the program will be
packed into four principal days, Friday,
Saturday, Sunday and Monday, June 6
to g inclusive. The program includes a
barbecue, a dance and other varied ac-
tivities.

Prof. T. H. Marshall of the chemical
engineering department, is chairman of
the 75th Anniversary Operating Com-
mittee. Prof. U. G. Mitchell, of the
mathematics department, is chairman
of the general 75 Anniversary Com-
mittee in charge of affairs over the 2¥2-
year period. First event was a banquet
program broadcast on a national radio
chain Nov. 2, 1938. It celebrated the
locating of the University at Lawrence.
The 1941 celebration marks three
quarters of a century after the opening
of the University.

Plan for Local Groups

Local groups of alumni are asked to
help make the University’s 75th Anniver-

sary celebration a success. Here is the plan
for all to follow:

1. See that all K.U. alumni and former
students in the community know of the
dates, plans and attractive features of the
75th Anniversary Celebration. Stimulate’
attendance by planning to make the trip
to Lawrence in a body or individually.
Efforts will be made to get lodging near
together for groups if desired. Let the
alumni office at Lawrence know how many
from your group will attend.

2. Plan a 75th Anniversary Program
for your local K.U. club on Kansas Day,
January 29 or any time in the spring.
Ask the alumni office about material.

3. See that the members of your group
are members of the Alumni Association
so they will receive the Graduate Magazine
and_get frequent news of developments
on the anniversary.

4. Plan to bring a gift from your group
for the University on its 75th birthday.
Regardless of the size or cost the effect of
this kind of group action will be valu-
able. A book, a framed picture of some
professor to hang in the class room where
he has taught, a scholarship, or addition
to the loan fund—all are among the sug-
gestions that have been made. Money can
be raised for such gifts either by subscrip-
tion or by activities. Emphasis in the
celebration will not be on gifts, however,
but on goodwill—an appreciation of the
University’s great past, present and future.

 

Swiss Flag Wavers
The K.U. band this year features a corps of
24 Swiss flag wavers who swing flags of the col-
ors of the Big Six schools. They make a fine
spectacle between halves at the games.
