Education, Role of Science Building Stressed by Malott at Dedication
The need for social, as well as scientific, education and the role of the new Physical Science building were stressed by Deane W. Malott, former chancellor and present Cornell university president, today.
President Malott spoke at the dedication convocation which formally opened the $3,450,000 building. About 2,500 persons attended the convocation.
He said that the building would stand through the years as a constant reminder of the achievement of KU men of science, who have contributed to the mushrooming development of our scientific age.

He said, "I should hope that this great new building will always be a focal point for better teaching, as well as for state service and research; that in the years to come it will be a center of that 'teaching by infection' for which Dean Lawson will be remembered as long as his students walk the earth.
"Nor is training in science an end just in itself, but rather a part only of the great educational process of
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy today announced that the new physical science building, dedicated this morning in convocation, is officially Malott hall.
Chancellor Murphy said "as of 10:02 this morning, I'm authorized by the board of regents to announce that the new science building is now officially Malott hall."
New Hall Named For Deane Malott
--maturing—a process by which the University of Kansas links the past with the future in behalf of succeeding student generations."
He said that the new science building is of and for the sciences but its purpose is to play its part not only in professional training in science but to be a center also for that broad participation in the liberal arts and
sciences which should constitute the backbone of undergraduate education.
Among the visiting dignitaries at the game will be former chancellor Deane W. Malott, Gov. Edward F. Arn, several members of the Board of Regents and legislature, Congressman E. P. Scrivner, and Clifford M. Hardin, chancellor of the University of Nebraska, and his family.
Weather
Fair through tomorrow. Warmer today and Saturday. Not quite as cold tonight. High today 65-70 extreme west to 60 in east. Low tonight in middle or lower 30s.
He said that since education is the only enduring bulwark against fears, emotions, fuzzy thinking, and carelessness which are the most terrible problems of our time, we must not only contribute in the great fight for survival but must assure to posterity a kind of living which has survival value.

In addition to the traditional excitement of a football game, queen crowning, house decorations, rallies, a campus filled with alumni, the dedication of a new physical sciences building and the return of a former chancellor make this year's homecoming especially eventful.

are being worn, and boastful banners adorn the organized houses as hopeful Jayhawkers look to the stadium for a Nebraska defeat. The game will be played before some 22,000 fans. E. L. Falkenstien, athletic business manager, said today.
The homecoming queen and her two attendants were selected by judges at a dinner last night. They will be presented tonight at the Jayhawk Follies and the 10 finalists will be introduced. The queen will be crowned officially at halftime ceremonies tomorrow and will reign at the annual homecoming dance tomorrow night.
The cheerleaders and prep clubs will gather in front of Strong at 11:10 a.m. today to lead the students in yells. Richard Reich, education junior, and Dr. F. C "Phog" Allen, basketball coach, will speak.
Crude structures and some which are nearly completed, stand in the yard of almost every organized house, as students pound nails in preparation for the judging of decorations tonight. The trophies will be awarded the winners at the dance tomorrow night.
Graduates and former students, who have already started arriving, will begin their official homecoming activities with registration at 4:30 p.m. today in the Student Union. Tomorrow morning and following the game, they will be served coffee and doughnuts in the main lounge.
