"EXTENSION THE SUBJECT
COLLEGE PRESIDENTS ARE SHOWING INTEREST.
Extension Work Discussed at Recent Meeting of Association of American Universities.
Does University extension pay? That was one of the chief questions under discussion at the meeting of the Association of American Universities which was held at Madison, Wis., last week, and from which Vice Chancellor W. H. Carruth recently returned. Three years ago, with a good deal of hesitation, the University of Wisconsin established a department of University extension under the direction of Professor Louis E. Reber, and it was Professor Reber who told the representatives of twenty-two leading American universities what he has accomplished since then.
There are at present over three thousand persons enrolled in the university extension and correspondence courses at Wisconsin, and $60,000 is spent annually in maintaining the courses. The department is growing rapidly and through it thousands of persons who would otherwise never have been able to obtain a college education have been brought in touch with the university.
The department of university extension established at the University this fall under the direction of Professor Richard E. Price has been modeled to a large extent after Wisconsin's extension department.
President Woodrow Wilson of Princeton also delivered a very interesting address on "The Right Relation of the College to the Professional School." President Wilson emphasized the desirability of obtaining a college education prior to studying in a professional school, whenever it was possible to do so. He believes that at least two years of college work should be taken before entering a professional school and is strongly opposed to an education which is wholly professional or technical.
"Professionalism in learning often has the same effect as professionalism in athletics," he declared. "In a college education however, one goes into it for the nobility of the game."
The meeting was closed by the delivery of a convocation address by President Lowell of Harvard, at which the student body of the University of Wisconsin was present.
Resigned Fellowship.
Miss Addie Jackson of the graduate school has resigned the fellowship in botany to accept the position as instructor in botany in the Kansas City, Kan., high school. This position was held until recently by W. A. Starin, '07, who resigned to accept the position of professor of bacteriology in the Oklahoma Agricultural college, at Stillwater Ok.
Meet a Week Earlier.
It is probable that the date of the first track meet will be advanced a week. It was arranged to meet Baker here February 21. As the coach will be on the trij with the basket-ball team at that time, it has been decided to ask Baker to change the date to February 14, in order that Hamilton may be able to oversee the performance of his men .

KICK COLUMN
The einder track which was put in the gymnasium destroyed the handball courts in the basement. The place where they were is now used for the shot put, starting, etc.
Sir: I believe the University ought to have a public pillory. It seems to me it is very convenient.
About half the students at the State University were sick for two or three days last week, and it has become so much the habit at Lawrence to charge everything up to the dairymen, that there was a movement on foot to wreck some of the milkmen's pumps. Emporia Gazette.
To the Editor of the Kansan:
There is a class of students who use the library and when they enter or go out of the building these people never close the door. To me this seems to be the biggest crime a student can commit. I would far rather see a student enter the library and smite some fellow student on the head with a eudgel, than to see one who continually fails to close the door.
A student who smashes another on the head injures only one person. But what about the miscreant, too lazy to close the door who is often directly responsible for ten or twelve students catching colds; and colds are the pathway that leads to the river Styx.
It seems to me that it is time o rise up and correct this evil. So I suggest that a pillory be put in front of the library, in plain view of everyone, so that the vanal will undergo humiliation with his punishment.
Let us have the pillory.

CABINETS IN PLACE.
Carload of Geological Specimens to Be Placed on View.
The system of beautiful oak and plate glass specimen cases which the McAfee Cabinet Co., of Clay Center, Kan., has been instaling during the past two months in the Geology and Mining building, was completed this week.
The new cases, designed by Professor Haworth, head of the department of geology and mining engineering, are much like book cases, except that they are larger and have tops to allow the light from the high windows to flood down upon the white, terrace-like shelves. They are five feet high, and occupy the entire wall space of the geological museums—the two, large, first-floor rooms of the building.
THE CLOTHES QUESTION COMES UP AGAIN.
About a car load of geological specimens, some of them very valuable, have accumulated at the University during the past thirty years or so; but they have been heaped around in boxes, drawers, and dark corners, and have never been properly sorted out and displayed. This disorder has been a source of worry to the University geologists for years, and proper provision for the large collection of minerals and rocks was one of the first things considered when the plans for the new building were draughted.
"The cases are beauties and satisfy a long-felt need," remarked Professor Haworth, this morning, "but we are worried 'most to death for fear we cannot complete the task of sorting the specimens and getting them into their new home in time for the dedication of the Geology and Mining building,which takes place on February 25. If it wasn't for that,we'd all be happy."
