Memorial Campanile Work All Completed
Work on the 120-foot Memorial Campanile at the University is finished for now. ◇
The World War II memorial was officially completed when the sculptured memorial bronze doors were dedicated June 6.
The doors on the south, bearing war memorial plaques, were given by Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Stoddard of Omaha, Neb. The Kansas plaques on the north doors were the gifts of Harry Ames Hart of Dodge City. The remaining costs of the doors were paid for by the World War II Memorial Fund.
Work on the tribute to the 276 University of Kansas students who died serving their country during World War II was started Jan. 11, 1950, and completed in 1951. The Westminster chiming mechanism, which makes it possible for the carillon to chime on the quarter hour, was added in 1954.
In the future clocks may be placed on the outside of the campanile and an elevator may be installed.
Although work is completed on the campanile itself, projects in the area of the memorial are now under way and others are being planned. Work is now in progress for the beautification of Memorial Drive. About five years ago the class of 1925 provided the money for a wall garden at the east entrance of the road and other landscaping work is set for the future.
Also being considered is a garden of memories north of Strong Hall when the present temporary buildings are moved.

Old Bailey Hall will begin a new career in February after an extensive $60,000 remodeling job is completed.
The old home of chemistry and the School of Pharmacy will soon house the School of Education. Missing when the education students enter the building after the first of the year will be the 31 brick chimneys. The well-known stacks were removed last spring along with most of the interior of the building as part of the remodeling.
The structure was built in 1900 and had served in the same capacity until Malott Hall was completed in the fall of 1954.
New Look Soon For Old Bailey
Balley cost $70,000 to build, a little over one-tenth of the remodeling cost. Even early in the building's history, it was referred to as "Balley's Barn."
constituted. The old structure has survived many hardships and difficulties. Severe instructor shortages have been met and defeated. The handicaps of World War II also dealt the department a hard blow.
The structure was named after Edgar Henry Summerfield Bailey who was chairman of the Department of Chemistry at the time the building was constructed.
ment a hard blow. In 1944 after victory seemed probable, a letter was sent to the Chancellor calling his attention to the need of a new building. However, no funds were available for a building, so the department had to be content with redesigning and refitting of laboratories and new research equipment.
KYOTO, Japan—(U.P.)—A former U.S. Navy airman has donned the robes of a Buddhist Priest in ceremonies at this ancient center of Japanese Buddhism, the Kyoto news agency said today.
Ronald Lean, 28, of Honolulu, Hawaii, became a priest at the Nishi Honganju Church Thursday after a year of study. Lean told the agency that he became interested in Buddhism while serving with the U.S. Navy in India and China during World War II.

The story of the notable "Burned Books" exhibit arranged last spring by the University library will soon be told over the world with sponsorship by the Fund for the Republic, a Ford Foundation-supported agency.
Robert Vosper, librarian, said a grant from the Fund for the Republic will provide for the reprinting and distribution of 18,000 copies of the catalog for the exhibit. The exhibit of banned, burned, and expurgated publications dating from 1532 attracted wide attention during its display in Watson library.
The catalog lists more than 135 incidents of suppression and names more than 120 authors, 31 of them Americans, whose works have been censored or destroyed.
Friday, Sept. 16, 1955.
The Fund for the Republic is active in the field of freedom of speech. The catalog of the KU exhibit was chosen to illustrate censorship as "a problem alive and crucial in our own day, in our own country," Mr. Vosper said. The reprints will be distributed through the University library's exchange facilities, which will put it in 2,000 libraries over the world.
Besides distribution to public and school libraries here and abroad, copies will be given to newspaper editors and school administrators.
