"The printed word," he said, "helped to keep alight the power of the spirit in Kansas."
Recalling the years when Kansas was "Indian territory" Mr. Clymer described the 'masterful achievement' in the state's progress.

Student Organization Forms For Vocational Rehabilitation
By JIM BAIRD
An effort to extend recognition of the state's vocational rehabilitation service resulted last night in the formation of a University organization to promote the service at the University and in the members' home towns.
The organization's functions will include studying the service's functions and problems and recommending possible solutions to rehabilitation officials.
The first of its kind in the state; it was termed a "pilot experiment" by Miss Marie Masson, vocational rehabilitation counselor for the northeastern district of Kansas.
"Vo Rehab" serves about 25 students at the University at present, Miss Masson said, adding that "more people need to know about the services rendered by the rehabilitation organizations."
Edmund Chan, engineering junior; Hale E. Dougherty, college senior; John C. Eisele, first year law; John R. Hansen, engineering freshman, and Tervy Neal, college freshman.
A few other states, including Missouri, already have such units established locally where there are enough clients in a locality to warrant it. Miss Masson said.
Eight students, all of them with scholarships from the State Board of Vocational Education attended. They were Carl D. Amber, college senior and first year medicine; Clinton C. Bartley, business junior; Ronald J. Brown, college sophomore;
Chancellor Murphy's statement explained that he did not want to sign the bill in its present form. The measure would have made the Rock Chalk Revue, formerly sponsored by the YMCA, an ASC project.
He suggested that funds from the Revue be allocated to the SUA for use in the financing of activities and events for the student body.
Chancellor Murphy pointed out that the YMCA had set up its budget expecting returns from the student show. He recommended that responsibility for the Revue be vested in the Student Union Activities council, a branch of the ASC.
After Chancellor Murphy's statement was read, Dick Sheldon, president of ASC, appointed a committee of eight to examine the financial status of hill organizations to determine if any are receiving money they do not need.
In other ASC business last night the resignation of Don Tice, journalism senior, as his school's representative to the ASC was read.
The Homecoming and Jayhawker queen bill, which provides changes in the manner and procedure for judging nominees, was passed unanimously.

A clarification regarding the provisions of Korean veterans' training has been made public by E. R. director of the veterans bureau.
Elbel Explains Field Changes
Under the provisions of publie law 550, a veteran will be granted one change of program, Mr. Elbel said. Some leniency is now allowed in instances where there is no loss of credit which will necessitate an extension of time to complete the course of study.
Generally, if the veteran enters school in one field and wishes to change to another field, he may do so without affecting his training program, providing that no hours of instruction are necessary. Curedure would not constitute the veteran's one change as allowed by the law.
When the institution the veteran is attending requires him to declare a major, he must list with the VA the ultimate degree that he hopes to obtain and the first degree that he is seeking.
