4,000 Contribute $105,000 To KU
Since its organization two years ago, the Greater University Fund has received $105,000 from 4,000 alumni and friends, said Robert B. Riss, chairman of the Fund's advisory board

These gifts have made possible more than 50 scholarships, $10,000 in student loan funds, a fellowship in speech correction, faculty research projects, rare library and museum additions, and better housing units.

said 70 alumni have accepted appointments as county chairmen and plans are being formed to include professional groups in the 1955-56 program.
Funeral Held For Dr. Taft
Dr. Robert Taft, professor of chemistry and widely-known historian, was buried today in the Memorial Park Cemetery. Funeral services were held in the Rumsey Funeral Home with the Rev. Edwin F. Price, Methodist student pastor, and the Rev. Ernst Klein, Baptist student pastor, officiating.
"Dr. Taft was a person active in many areas," said the Rev. Mr. Price. "Outside Lindley Hall is a plaque of which Dr. Taft is the author. The plaque reads: 'Beginning in 1849, there plodded up the Southern slope of Mount Oread a vast emigration bound for the golden land of California. One branch of the great California and Oregon trail thus passed over the very ground now part of the University of Kansas campus and many a camp fire gleamed on summer nights from the crest where now throngs of students tread.'
15,000 Students In'70 Predicted By Murphy
"These words show the superb mind of Dr. Taft, and show the work of the well-known man in one of his many areas of interest."
An enrolment of 15,000 to 17,000 and a building program of $15 million was the picture of the University in 1970 painted by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy in a report to the advisory board of the Greater University Fund.
"Dr. Taft was a tribute to versatility. Many times he demonstrated that the modern man does not have to specialize to leave his mark on history. He proved this in his own career as educator, author, historian, editor, and scientist. It's constant energy toward versatility won another battle for the ideal of a diversified education."
Honorary pall bearers were R. Q. Brewster, professor of chemistry; W. J. Baumgartner, professor of zoology; H. B. Hungerford, professor of entomology; D. J. Ameel; George Stratton, professor of chemistry; J. C. Malin, professor of history, and John Nelson, Dean of the Graduate School.

Pallbearers were Parke Woodard, associate professor of physics; Walter Schoewe, associate professor of geology; Thomas Ryther, associate professor of journalism; George Anderson, professor of history; Arthur Davidson, professor of chemistry, and Robert Voper, director of Watson Library.
The fund, established two years ago, has received more than $100,- 000 in 4,000 individual gifts. The money is used for scholarships, loan resources and student housing. Dr. Murphy praised the organization as an important part of the University, as it provides funds not given by the Legislature.
The report expanded statements by Dr. Murphy at the beginning of the year when he told students and faculty of planned expansion.
He also said that funds that have

been appropriated for a school of business, on which construction will begin about 1957. Dr. Murphy said he also plans to ask for funds for a new engineering school building, and an addition to the library.
With recent approval from the Board of Regents the University plans to construct a 150 apartment building for married students. The University will soon apply for a loan of $11\%$ million from Federal Housing and Home Finance agency for the project. Detailed plans for the apartment will be drawn up in the office of Dwight Brown, state architect.
Hall Mentioned As Possible Ike Substitute
Compiled by Kansan Editors
Compiled by Kansan Editors Some Democratic campaign strategists have predicted that President Eisenhower's illness will boom Adlai E. Stevenson's presidential chances and help the party keep control of Congress.
Meanwhile, a cross-section of the nation's newspapers agreed today that President Eisenhower probably will not run again in 1956, with Vice President Richard M. Nixon named as the most likely substitute.
Democratic appraisals were based on strong convictions that Mr Eisenhower's heart seizure—in spite of its apparent moderation—will keep him from being a candidate next fall.
Gov. Hall Mentioned
Gov. Fred Hall of Kansas was mentioned as a possible substitute for Mr. Eisenhower. Other possible candidates included Thomas E. Dewey of New York, twice GOP candidate for the presidency, and Govs. J. Goodwin Knight of California, Christian Herter of Massachusetts, and William Stratton of Illinois.
The President's brother, Milton, was mentioned as a possible successor along with Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, and Sen. Clifford Case of New Jersey.
Warren Reluctant
Chief Justice Earl Warren of the Supreme Court also drew attention, but it was pointed out that he has previously stated he would not run under any conditions.
tions.
Democratic leaders also said that Mr. Eisenhower's illness might affect the 1956 congressional elections. They believe that some potential Republican candidates for the House and Senate will be reluctant to take on Democratic incumbents, and GOP candidates who do run will be unable to do so on the President's popularity.
These leaders seem to agree that Mr. Stevenson is now the likely choice for the Democratic nomination, although many were wary of running him against Mr. Eisenhower again.
However, Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.) probably will conduct a vigorous fight in preconvention preferential primaries across the nation to establish himself as the people's choice for the Democratic nomination.
President Feets Well Meanwhile, in Denver, President Eisenhower felt and looked like a well man today, but he knew and accepted the fact that he has a sick heart and it will be a long time before he can take up a fully active life again.
President Feels Well
Frank Carlson, Republican senator from Kansas, will address a meeting of the KU Young Republicans at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in Strong auditorium.
