At that time there were about forty schools who were represented by high school correspondents and with the announcement of the prizes, interest in the work increased and when the contest closed yesterday there were one hundred and two schools who had regular reporters turning in readable news stories about their school work.
CHANCELOR AND MRS. STRONG
GIVE ANNUAL RECEPTION
It was no easy matter to select the winners from such a large number of competitors, and the judges, Arthur Capper, proprietor and publisher of the Topeka Daily Capital and other papers, and Clyde Knox, editor of the Sedan Times-Star and president of the State Editorial Association, made their selection only after going over carefully all of the work that had been done. There were over four hundred counlons of matter submitted and from this one hundred and fifty columns were used in the Daily Kansan.
The annual reception by Chancellor and Mrs. Strong for the alumni, former students of the University and the members of the senior class was given last night in Green Hall from 9 to 10 p.m., where seating line were Chancellor and Mrs. Strong and the deans of the various schools and their wives.
SAME DORMITORY COMMITTEE
John A. Prescott of Kansas City, Missouri, visited at the home of Professor Frank Blackmar, yesterday.
J. A. Prescott, '88, Reelected Vice-President at Annual Meeting.
The largest number of alumni who have attended a session of the University of Kansas Alumni Association, gathered in Snow Hall yesterday afternoon to talk over the work of the past and to make plans for active campaigns along certain lines. Four hundred graduates were present at the meeting which was presided over by Charles F. Scott, of Iola.
Perhaps the attention of the alumni has been called more particularly this year to the need of a building on the campus for the girls than to any other activity and when the committee that was appointed last year to urge the committee to take part in a serious discussion as to what the future attitude of the Association should be toward the movement. The report of the committee showed that $4574.50 has been pledged by the alumni, that University students have pledged $694 54 and that friends of the University have subscribed $1310. This makes $874.50 that has been pledged toward the erection of the building.
After much discussion it was decided to retain the old committee and to instruct them to proceed with the campaign in the best possible manner.
The members of the committee are:
Olin Templin, chairman; Alberta Corken, secretary; Cora Pierson Hopkins;
W. Y. Morgan; Eugene Gallie, Ellinor Sisson; Evadne Laptad; Genevieve Howland Chalkley; Katherine Morton Carruth; Fay Dodge; Rose Morgan;
Angnes Thompson; J. W. Green; Hannah Oliver; W. C. Hoad, and Mabel Gore Glied.
The question of establishing a commons by the Association was discussed and it was finally decided to laty he matter over for one year.
TO TAKE PART 'N ATHLET CS
It was stated that at present there is an attempt to form a governing board composed of representatives of all the colleges in the Missouri Valley, when will regulate all athletic affairs among the schools. On this board there will be several alumni representatives and the executive board of the Association was instructed to name the members of the committee whenever such an action shall become necessary.
MADE MESERVEY PRESIDENT
The election of officers resulted in the selection of Edwin C. Moservey, '82, of Kansas City, Mo., as president, and the reschelection of John A. Prescott, '88, of Kansas City, Mo., as vice-president. The directors chosen are General Joseph A. Thompson of Lawrence. They will serve for the term of five years.
The old grads were so glad to get back to the old haunts again that they did not seem to be inclined to put in the warm afternoon discussing facts and figures and about 3 o'clock there was a general exodus toward McCook Field where they watched the ball game between the alumni and the seniors.

SENIOR FARCE WAS JUST A LOT OF FUN

"A Temporary Landlord" wa
the culminating feature of the class day exercises the seniors presented their annual fare last evening to an audience that taxed the capacity of Robinson gymnasium. The offering this year was "A Temporary Landlord" and it was a relief from former fares in that there was no attempt to sing moony songs or present a few numbers from musical comedy.
The farce was light, but there was a real plot to the whole skit and it was just the kind of a production any one would like, on a warm summer*

Four Hundred Fifty Senior Received Their Degrees This Morning
DR. H. W. MABIE THE SPEAKER
WARM DAYS DO NOT DAMPEN THEIR ARDOR
Vast Audience Gathered in Robinso
Gymnasium For the Fortieth Annual Commencement Exercises
nual Commencement Exercises
A line of moving black that stretched from Snow hall to Robinson gymnasium; Chancellor Strong and Hamilton Wright Mabie, associate editor of the Outlook, in academic robes; the University band playing a stirring march. This was the picture seen this morning as the four hundred and fifty seniors held court for each annual commencement exercises of the University of Kansas.
The procession to the gymnasium was formed shortly before ten o'clock and the seniors were grouped according to schools. Long before the line of seniors had been formed, the gymnasium was filled with students and the graduates who had come to see the graduating exercises. Tickets were issued to the graduates and alumni, and special seats had been reserved for them on the main floor. At 9:45 o'clock the doors were thrown open to the general public and the big hall was soon crowded. Led by Chancellor Strong and the University guest of honor Hamilton Wright Mabie, the seniors entered the hall to Gounod's "Processional March" and then proceeded to be joined by the University band. After the seniors had taken their places and Dr. Mabie, the Board of Regents, the special guests of the University, the faculty and Chancellor Strong, had seated themselves on the platform, the Reverend $\Theta$ - C. Brown of the First Baptist church, asked the invocation.
Without further preliminary, the, Chancellor introduced the speaker of the morning who had taken time from his work as associate counsel to address the graduating class on "Work and Days." Dr. Mable is one of the best known editors of the present day and for a number of years previous to his association with the Outlook, was a contributor to all the large magazines. His address was a scholarly effort, but he also stressed the need to tethering manner that the audience easily followed him and listened attentively to what he had to say.
Following the address, the band played the Strudella overture and then followed the conferring of the degrees by the Chancellor to the four hundred and fifty graduates. As each senior arose and marched across the platform to receive the reward of his efforts while in college, the audience chored, and cherred again as some particular favorite received his degree that numbered him among the vast host of University alumni.
Perhaps the part of the exercises that is always looked forward to with more anticipation than anything else, is the announcement of the fellowships and scholarships that have been granted a number of the students who have earned recognition from the University by their superior work along with the reading of the winners followed the conferring to the degrees.
After the band had played a final selection the audience was dismissed and the gathering of the clauses under the banners for the march to the dinner
The largest number of alumni that ever attended a commencement exercise was in Lawrence today and all of them have been in dinner were 'akon early this morning.

The rear guard of commencement visitors leaving tomorrow will meet the Summer Session students climbing Mount Oread. Work in the tenth annual Summer Session of the University will begin tomorrow morning. Prospects are that the attendance at all previous sessions will be surpassed. Prof. A. T. Walker, director of the Session, had enrolled fifty students at
6 o'clock last evening, a larger number than had ever before entered before
Classes will meet tomorrow morning as scheduled, and also will meet on Saturday morning this week but on no other Saturday of the Session.
The registration of students will be conducted as at previous sessions. The first step will be to pay fees in Room 109, after which Professor Walker will make assignments to classes at his office in Room 118.
Registration with full credit will continue until June 10. It is expected that the bulk of the attendance will be enrolled by the close of the week.
Because the classes in the Summer Session will be distributed between Fraser Hall and the Administration building, no chapel services will be held. All announcements of interest to students will be printed in the school.
All announcements of interest to students will be printed in the Summer Session Kansan.
HE CARRIES MESSAGE TO KANSAS TEACHERS
Ralph Spotts Tells County Institutes of Extension Department Work
Hundreds of Kansas teachers will be given an opportunity this summer to learn of the many ways by which the University of Kansas through its Extension Division may be of service to them. Ralph Spotts, the state organizer of the Extension Division will spend the summer in visiting the Normal Institutes held in the counties of Kansas. Last week the institutes being held at Olathe, Mound City, and Salina were visited.
"I find the teachers eager to learn of the helps which the Extension Division may furnish them," the organizer said. "They are especially suited to the opportunities offered for home-study through the correspondence courses."
The Extension Division is also furnishing loan sets of lantern slides to the Institutes. Some of these sets cover some of the work being done by the players, as well as a more general character, as the Passon Play of Ober-Ammergau.
Among the towns which will probably be visited by Ralph Spotts are: Garnett, Iola, Pittsburg, Independence, Fredonia, Yates Center, El Dorado, Wichita, Hutchinson, New Albany, Mifflin-Haskell, Hiawatha, Seneca, Washington, Mankato, Norton, Abilene, Concordia, Larned, Leibnitz, Pratt, and Topela.
