Professor Olin Templin, dean of the College, lectured at Arkansas City last Friday, and Professor A. S. Olin lectured at Burlingame. This week Professor C. G. Dunlap will lecture at Olathe and Kansas City, Kansas. Other members of the faculty have dates to be filed soon.

For the encouragement of advanced study and research, the University of Kansas offers nine teaching fellowships, each entitleing the holder to $215, to graduates of the University and instructors and graduates of other Colleges and Universities of good standing. Holders or such fellowships are obliged to teach not more than seven hours a week in the respective departments in which they are chosen. These departments are German, Mathematics, Education, Sociology, Romance, Languages, English, Chemistry, American and European History. Baker University, Park College and McPherson College are represented this year among the fellows. Applications for these fellowships must be filed on blanks, provided by the University for the same, with the Chancellor of the University on or before May 15.
THE FIRST K. U. PAPER.
"So you are going to expand and improve the Kansan, are you?" This question was asked a Kansan reporter the other day by a member of the faculty, who was a student in the University when the first weekly was started. "We hear a great deal about bettering the paper, but I don't think any harder or more conscientious work has ever been done than the early supporters of the paper did."
The first issue came out in the academic year of 1876. '77 and such men as C. S Gleed, now a director of the Santa Fe, A.C. Scott, president of the Oklahoma Agricultural college and G.W Hapgood, all members of the class of '77 were at the head of the movement.
One Friday chapel was devoted to boosting the embryonic paper, and speeches were made by Chancellor Marvin and a number of the students. That was in the day of compulsory chapel attendance on Fridays, each student having a seat assigned to him. The members of the faculty divided the chapel into sections and thus made a personal canvass of the whole student body, soliciting subscriptions for the weekly. So the paper was started and it was run pretty successfully for seven years, when it was consolidated with the "University Courier," which had been launched in the meantime by R. W. E. Twitchell; and this union of papers and change of names has been repeated many times since.
"It has been my experience,"said the professor, in concluding the story, "that the quality of the paper depends wholly on the men at the head of it, and not upon the spirit of the general student body at all."
