No Classes Dismissed Today—
Armistice Day Grows Milder After 35 Years
BY LEE ANN URBAN Classes were dismissed, the bano marched in a parade, and 1,000 KU students attended a convocation in Fraser theater 35 years ago today.
On Nov. 11, 1919, they were celebrating the first birthday of the signing of the World War Armistice.
Since that year, the celebrations have become milder and the importance of the date has gradually been forgotten.
Today, for the first time, Armistice day is being observed as Veterans day. The name was officially changed June 1, when President Eisenhower signed a bill setting aside Nov. 11 as the day for the nation to pay homage to all veterans, living and dead, of all wars.

The bill gives new significance to the date, but the campus is quiet today compared with Nov. 11 in the first years after the Armistice.
In 1919 KU students circulated a petition asking for a holiday, but before it reached Chancellor Frank Strong, he had announced that classes would not be held that day.
"We, the undersigned students of the University of Kansas, petition that the chancellor declare a holiday.
The petition read:
1. That Nov. 11 is the greatest day in the history of our nation since the Declaration of Independence.
2. In observing this day we will keep the Faith' with those we need to make this day a reality.
3. Let us set this day aside to keep in memory and to perpetuate the national unity and the national ideals which have made America the greatest and most respected nation in the world."
After a parade in which the band, World War I veterans, and Red Cross workers participated, students listened to W. W. Davis, now professor of history, speak at a convocation.
In 1920 and 1921 the day was celebrated as it was in 1919. In accordance with a request by President Harding, the convocation in 1921 was devoted to a discussion of the disarmament conference which was to begin in Washington the next day. A University service flag was displayed with nearly 3,600 stars—128 were gold.
KU continued to observe Armistice day with parade and convocations, but classes were no longer dismissed for the day.
