Book Honors Francis Snow
Clyde K. Hyder, professor on English, is author of a new book about Francis Snow, a member of the faculty when the *University opened in 1866. He was chancellor from 1890 to 1901.
The book, "Snow of Kansas: The Life of Francis Huntington Snow," was published this month by the University press, exactly 87 years after the University opened.
Snow, after whom Snow hall is named, was a pioneer educator and scientist in Kansas. He catalogued Kansas birds, kept records of the weather, and led many expeditions to collect scientific specimens.
As a child, Snow lived in Fitchburg, Mass., where the Snow home attracted such well-known visitors as reformer William Lloyd Garrison. Snow attended Williams college in Stamford, Washington, and Hopkins instructed there, and later attended The Andover Theological seminary.
During the Civil War Snow was a delegate of the Christian Commission, an organization which provided services similar to those of the Medical Corps and Salvation Army of today.
Journalists kept by Snow record his experiences up to 1866, and contain observations of war leaders, Generals Lee and Grant.

No action has been taken by the Federal Communications commission on application by the University for a television channel, R. Edwin Browne, director of station KANU, said today.
"Actually, because of lack of funds, we are in no immediate position to start construction, so possibly the FCC took that into consideration.
"The main reason for our filing was to keep the channel open until the date when we will be able to go into operation."
the petition, for channel No. 11. was filed June 1.
