And Give the New Chancellor a Yellig Reception-A Man Who is "Bound to Make it Go."
It's a Cold Day When Snow Gets Left.
Talk about college spirit—college pride and college enthusiasm—was there ever a greater, a more hearty display than that of last Friday and Saturday evenings? That display must go down in the history of K. S. U. as most striking—most remarkable
Who will now dare to say that the Kansas State University has lost spirit, pride and loyalty? Show us one and we will show you a cynic, a grumbler, a traitor!
Leaving the University at 10 c'clock more than a 150 students marched shouting and singing to the home of Prof. Snow. After a hearty "Rock Chalk! Jay Hawk! K. U!" and "Snow! Snow! F. H. Snow!" the new chancellor made his appearance. Then Mr. Roberts in behalf of the students extended Prof. Snow their greeting and congratulations.
FPIDAY NIGHT
So after the societies Friday evening impromptu arrangements were made to welcome and congratulate the new chancellor that very night.
Prof. Snow's promotion to the chancellorship was the signal for a revival and out-bursting of the love and pride and spirit of K. S. U. When the news was spread Friday that Prof. Snow had been elected, the students became at once infused with a desire to express their appreciation of the choice.
Prof. Snow replied in a short speech full of feeling, hope and good sense.
After singing several songs the students marched down Mass. St. and there on the corner of Henry they formed in a circle, where their enthusiasm was spent in yells, songs and speeches. Lead by Prof. Sterling and Prof. Canfield and students Chapman and White more than one college song was done full justice. Speeches, bubbling over with pride and loyalty were made by Prof. Sterling, Prof. Arthur Canfield and students Challis, Chapman, Nichols, Smelser, Ross, White, and W. J Scars.
After making a furious "bluff" at Wiedemann's, lead by Roberts, Hadley and Sears, the crowd marched down to the Santa Fe depot, where Prof Snow was to leave for Topeka. Prof Snow, in company with Regent Gleed, and Willis
Gleed, was found waiting here for the train. Again the students showed the chancellor at once their hearty appreciation and marvelous lungs. Here speeches were made by Prof. Snow, Regent Gleed and students Roberts, Virtue and Riggs.
As the train pulled out, Prof. Snow was carried upon the shoulders of the students to the cars. Here the Professor was again introduced by Editor Charley Finch, an old K. S. U. boy, and there the new chancellor took leave of his admiring friends and said good night. So endeth the first great triumph of Chancellor Snow.
Last Saturday evening was a memorable one in student life.
SATURDAY NIGHT.
At about 8 o'clock two or three hundred students assembled on the corner of Ky. and Warren Sts. for the purpose of showing their appreciation of our new Chancellor. Ackley was chosen leader and Chapman as chistor. Then after forming in line they marched to Mass. St., and on Mass. St. to Pinckney St, thence on Pinckney to Prof. Snow's residence where all the faculty had gathered to congratulate Prof. Snow upon his accession to the chancellorship. The students were orderly enough and the whole affair reflects credit upon the leaders
After singing a song with the refrain "Give Snow the Glory GLORY!" the crowd of boys burst into prolonged shouts of "Snow!""Prof. Snow!""Chancellor Snow!"" Prof. Snow soon appeared but seemed somewhat frightened at the immensity of the throng and sought a place of safety. By the assistance of several of the Profs, and students he was placed upon the roof of a small portico before the door, and from there gave to the boys a hearty address. Prof. Snow recounted some of his past experience; said that all his fame had been made under the title of Professor, and that he hoped that he would be allowed to keep the old title. He was interrupted here by cries of "Professor," "Prof. Snow." "Hurrah." Prof. Snow resuming said: "Boys as you see I'm like a man up a stump. The cold wave flag has been flying for some time, and the precautionary signals say that we shall have 'snow,' but you see, it's not come down yet. I am sure that by your hearty cooperation we can make the U one of the greatest in the West, and I am sure from the hearty reception you give me this evening that I shall have it I appreciate
the hearty welcome you give me and I most heartily thank you. " The students broke into the most uproarious applause at the close of Prof. Snow's address.
No. 30.
Then calls for "Spangler!" were heard from all sides. Vice-Chancellor Spangler soon materialized and occupied the rostrum, porch rather, for a few minutes. Mr. Spangler expressed his satisfaction at the choice that had been made and predicted a most successful reign by our present chancellor. His remarks were well received.
Then after Mr. Spangler the ties for "Robinson" "Robby" "Rob" broke forth. Prof. Robinson is a favorite with all and the calls of "Ubi es?" "Scan." "Incipi Si placet." were only the precursors of the fun and jollity that all expected from him. He began with: "Est in animo mihi dicere" — "Rats" "quid est?" "Translate" "Give it to us in United States" changed him immediately to "Boys I meant to say that you are the handsomest crowd of boys I've ever seen. (applause) If it were darker you would be handsoner yet. ("Rats, estne Verum?) I mean the brightness of your intellects would so illuminate-(cheers "Hurrah for Robby.") You are brighter this evening than I've ever seen you before. I'll endeaver to get even with you. You caught me unprepared. I've often caught you unprepared so please let me off this time. I've often let you off."
Prof. Miller was the next, who was greeted with "demonstrate" "Make a si(g)n." "Boys" said he 'You'd scaree expect one of my age to speak in public on the stage ("Porch, prof. porch")so if I attempt to do so, I'm afraid I'll fly off at a tangent and demonstrate to you that I am quite obtuse. I am glad that we have a chancellor and a chancellor like Prof. Snow.' The prof. concluded his remarks by a true eulogy upon Prof. Snow.
Prof. Carruth was the next victim placed upon the penitential pillory while such epithets as "Sprechen Sie Duetensch?" Wie Gehts? "Uebersetzen sie" were hurled at him. Prof. Carruth bore it like a martyr; i e he rather liked it and gave as good as was sent, better, much better, in fact. His German was more connected After expressing his reliance upon the ability of Prof. Snow to fill the position to which he was elected he gave the famous song "Mary had a little lamb whose fleece was white as Snow, SNOW," all
present joining in on the last word. Then he closed by saying that the slang phrase expressed it most forcibly, "It is a cold day when Snow gets left."
Prof. A. G. Canfield was the next one brought up for slaughter. The "Parle Vous" in the crowd shouted themselves hoarse with, "Parle you France?" "Je ne ce pas" which soon changed to "shoot it straight" "good" when he began "Mes Amis Vect"—After a commendation of the spirit exhibited by the boys he closed with "Well, boys you are all anxious to go home and get your lessons I know, so I'll not detain you longer." ("What makes you believe it? How do you know it?") Prof. Bailey after incessant calls was elevated to the position of orator and was greeted with an array of chemical phraseology such as "H2SO4" "Lets test Bailey." "Oh Bailey's C. P." "HNO3" . Prof. Bailey surely had his retort primed for he gave them this: "Boys I'll not give you any C 10 H 24O 12 (Glucose) for fear I should precipitate you. From the exhilation exhibited this evening, if it were not in Kansas, I should say you had been indulging in C4H₁O. (spiritus fermenti) ('Only soda water prof.') or may be it is myself. I have never been thus elevated before. (Pro Robinson Sotto Voce: "Spiritii Frementis!") "But seriously speaking boys" said Prof. Bailey and in a short talk he showed that he was in hearty accord with the present arrangement.
Prof. Sayre was the next one who was regularly invited to occupy the roof of the portico and the Pharmics became cestatic as they proceeded to poison the air with whoops of "Give us the arsenic," "Blue Mass" "Pills" "Give us a dose." Prof. Sayre was somewhat nonplused by the festive Pharmics but was equal to the occasion and in a short but lively speech assured the faith that he reposed in the new chancellor.
Prof. Marvin was so unhucky as to show his well known face in the doorway as Prof. Sayre closed his speech; he was speedily dragged to the scene of torture by the relentless hands of Profs. Carruth and A.G. Canfield and hoisted heavenward while a pandemonium of technical terms from the C.E's freighted the already overladen air. "Line her out" "What's your altitude?" "Chain away" "Sling us a link" were hurled at him until he found means to stop the mob with: "Boys my altitude is
too high, I'd rather give you my declaration.' " ("No, No") The Prof. made a few remarks upon the occasion.
Then Prof. Blake who had been eluding the grasp of the tireless two, Profs. Carruth and A. G. Canfield, tell into their clutches; he was charged upon by the boys with: "How many ohms resistance?" "CgS" "You can't open your mouth" "You can't mesmerize" "Meter now." Prof Blake stated that he had hoped to escape inasmuch as he had just been engaged in business inside that rendered him too full for utterance; that he had been busy watching the ice-cream. Cries of "Let us watch it" were heard and in answer the Prof. said that he was sorry but that there wasn't enough to go round: this caused a great sensation. Prof. Blake soon ended his talk.
Prof. McDonald was the next whose knees smote together as he faced the music that was welling from the throats of the songsters in such notes as "Give us a tune." "Note him." "Prof. what's your scale?" "Ain't you a little high?" Prof. McDonald:—Yes boys I'm a little high, 'tis because I was pitched a little too high. I don't know how many stale jokes and gags have not been perpetrated upon you. (Cries of none, none, give us one Prof.) Well then I can tell you a story which will illustrate what I have to say. Boys, I'm on the unpopular side I know, but the Regents made a great mistake when they elected Prof. Snow. (Sensation) He's unsound on the Tariff and his Theology is as mixed as the old dark key who was relating the story of Jeebel. "Da one day as King Ahasurus wuz a ridin' long in his chariot an he saw Jeebel in a ninth story window a makin faesec at him and he stopped an he sez to de niggers dat wuz with him, "Go up an frow her down," And dey went up and frowed her down. "Take her up an frow her down again," An dey took her up and frowned her down again. "Take her up an frow her down seventy times seben times" and dey frowed her down sebenty times seben and de dogs de came an licked her sores an ate her flesh and dey gethered up the remains twelve baskets an three small fishes an last of all de women died also.
