Lawrence Room Affords Historical Scenes Of This City From 1927 To Present Day
Have you ever visited the Lawrence room? This little museum, which is nestled on the top floor of Watson library, contains a pictorial history of the city of Lawrence. Although the room was originally established to furnish an historical setting of the early days of the city for the University today few students know of its existence.
The Lawrence room was begun by Carrie M. Watson, University librarian from 1887 to 1921. Miss Watson was the daughter of a pioneer settler and through her many friendships with persons important in the development of Lawrence, she was able to acquire many pictures and souvenirs for this project.
In 1927, Dr. F. W. Blackmar presented the University with valuable historical records from the life of Charles Robinson, the first governor of Kansas. This collection included manuscripts, letters, addresses, public papers, pictures, photographs, and woodcuts, most of them dating back to the early 50's and 60's. Among these documents, the some two dozen letters by Amos A. Lawrence describing the activities of the Emigrant Aid Society and the founding of the University were perhaps the most valuable. Robinson's collection was placed in a locked case in room 401 Watson. Then began the Laurence room.
Contributions kept coming to Miss Carrie until she finally had a complete display of the early years of Lawrence, beginning in 1854. On the north wall of the room, she placed photographs of the first settlers; on the east, those of persons living at the time of Quantrill's raid in 1863; and on the west and south, those of persons prominent in the life of the University.
Beginning the pictorial study is a portrait of Amos A. Lawrence, treasurer of the Emigrant Aid Society and the person for whom the city was named. The work is a copy of a picture painted in Lawrence's youth. Bishop William Lawrence, his son, sent this particular portrait to the University because as he said, "It has the touch of the romance and enterprise of youth."
Clustered around Lawrence are pictures of Eli Thayer, the originator of the organized immigration, William B. Spooner and S. C. Pomeroy, both officers of the Emigrant company. Nearby are daguerratypes of Dr. Charles Robinson and Charles H. Branscomb, who were sent by the company to select a site for the settlement.
Early Lawrence publishers are also pictured. Fine portraits of Josiah Miller and R. G. Elliot, publishers of the Kansas Free State hang above a copy of the first edition of the paper, dated Jan. 3, 1855. Mr. G. W. Brown's picture hangs above a copy of the Herald of Freedom, Dec. 1, 1855, and Mr. John Speer's over the Kansas Tribune, July, 1855.
Also included in the Lawrence room are relics of the six shooters used by Quantrill's men, a call-bell from the Free-State hotel, and an ancient cannon used at the Battle of Sacramento in 1847.
In the John Brown group are several interesting studies of the illustrious man, as well as a picture of his cabin at Osawatomi. Placed near the collection is one of the 1,000 metal spikes ordered from Connecticut for Brown's raid at Harper's Ferry.
These and many other items and pictures may be found in the Law-
rence room, all of which contribute to bring alive the early days of a city with a rich historical background.
Movies Hamper Compatibility
New York, —(U.P.)—Hollywood is breaking up many marriages by making wives dissatisfied and giving husbands inferiority complexes, one psychologist contends.
Alfred E. Johns, who specializes in patching up broken homes, said the movies are making his job twice as hard as they would if they presented domestic life realistically.
"Husbands just don't make love the way the screen heroes do, Johns said. "The movies make married life seem glamorous, and real-life wives are disappointed in what they find.
"Everybody's either rich in movies or get rich. Wives start nagging their husbands if they don't get rich, too, as in the movies.
Johns is director of the Modern Coue Institute, dedicated to following theories of Emile Coue, the Frenchman who created quite a dither in the United States in the roaring '20s with his optimistic slogan, "Day by day, in every way, I am getting better and better."
But things are getting worse, instead of better on the matrimonial front, Johns said. He's found a direct relationship between the number of divorces and the number of movies persons go to see.
The happiest married men, according to a survey, he said, are chemical engineers. They are homebodies who prefer unimaginative books to fabulous movies. Second on the list are ministers. Next, in order, come college professors, teachers and engineers.
Doctors are 11th on the list, bankers 12th and newspaper men 13th. At the bottom of the list are traveling salesmen and laborers. Johns said they see lots of movies and so do their wives.
"Movies and novels never give a realistic approach to marriage," he added. "They make life glamorous and glamour may be good for the eye, but it's very bad for the mind."

Carrie Nation Revived In Ohio
Cincinnati, Ohio, —(U.P.)— "The GE's of the Cross" have been going into local night spots to convert simmers by singing hymns to them. They report that the old ritual still works.
The hymn singers are students of God's Bible school here. They say that the way to put down sin is to go after it in its lairs.
They report that some of the drunks still sob on hearing a hymn their mothers used to sing. The students say they push the glass aside and vow they'll never touch the stuff again.
The GI's of the Cross go marching every night on their raids against sin. There are men and women in the group and if the women are young they are properly chaperoned.
One of their recent reports on a converted sinner says, "Last week at such a place when the singing bar put aside her glass and swung around. She walked over to the young woman who was singing.
"You remind me, me of my mother,
taught me," she said. "Fray for me."
It seems to be following pretty much in the tradition of "The Face on the Barroom Floor."
Minneapolis —(U.P.)- Minnesota state officials believe the state's population will be near 3 million when the federal census starts next April. The population was estimated at 2,034,000 on July 1, 1948, a gain of 5.1 per cent since the last regular census in April of 1940.
