Chapel Built To Inspire 'Wisdom And Courage'
By NELSON OBER
Saturday, April 2, was the third anniversary of the dedication of Danforth chapel. Dedicated with the intention to "give wisdom, strength and courage to those who seek respite there" at an all-University convocation, the chapel was turned over to the students with the promise of Chancellor Malott that it "will always be open and lighted." It was the 19th building to be constructed on the campus from privately donated funds.
from private In connection with the birthday of the chapel, Dr. Leonard H. Axe, now the dean of the School of Business recalled a little known story about its construction. At the time when the funds for Danforth chapel were being raised and the building was constructed, Dr. Axe was the director of University services.
Dr. Axe said that the original intention was to build the chapel from rock taken from the quarry located on the campus, but that stone-masons found the rock impossible to shape properly.
It was necessary to find a new source of building material. Dr. Axe combed the countryside in search of suitable rock. One day, he tells while driving over a road approximately two miles south of US highway 40, between Topeka and Lawrence, he discovered a stone fence. It was composed of native limestone and appeared to be in sufficient quantity to provide for construction of the building. Immediately negotiations were begun with the owner of the land on which the fence was found. The University acquired the rock for some money and a new wire fence.
In 1945 German prisoners of war were working at the University. The Buildings and Grounds department sent the prisoners and some trucks to bring the rock back to the campus.
Very little shaping of the rock had to be done. Dr. Axe said, because the pieces were well cut and close to the required size.
The initial donation for the construction of the chapel came from the Danforth foundation, formed by William H. Danforth, St. Louis, Mo.
Many townpeople of Lawrence, faculty of the University, and students contributed to the chapel fund. The chapel's electric organ was given by A. B. Weaver, Lawrence, Edward Tanner, Kansas City, Mo., contributed his architectural services; Mr. Tanner was one of the first architectural graduates from the University
A recent gift from Mr. and Mrs. Danforth was a baptismal font. A number of children, most of them born to couples who were married in the chapel, have already been baptized there. More than 200 marriages have been performed in the small, stone building to date and eighteen ceremonies are scheduled to take place there by June 30.
"The Home Economics club gave the altar set. The women's Pan-Hellenic council gave $2,000 for the stained glass window. The oil reproduction of Hoffmann's "Christ in Gethsemane," which was stolen from the chapel last February, was the gift of the Clarence H. Poindexter family, St. Louis, Mo.

YMCA Holds Annual Dinner
The world is one community and it is up to the young people of our generation to keep it free, Lemuel T. Jones, president of the Kansas City, Mo., Y.M.C.A. told 100 University members at the annual Y.M.C.A. dinner Tuesday night.
"For a million years man has been fighting for individual freedom and this fight for freedom continues to this very moment," Mr. Jones said. "We need faith and assurance today when the world about us is changing. We need an abiding faith and the ability to walk with Christ until we, and our brothers, are free.
"Never, in all history, has Christianity called men as it calls today. The world waits for us to become Christians, for the world needs Christians and human dignity desperately." Mr. Jones concluded.
The dinner program included a piano solo by Jay V. Grimm, College senior, and several colorful Indian dances, presented by students from Haskell Institute. Robert Payne, College junior, presented small silver basketballs to the championship Y.M.C.A. basketball team and new officers of the group were introduced by Lloyd H. Houston, chairman of the Advisory board. Elton Noble, engineering sophomore, was master of ceremonies.
The Amherst college chapter of Phi Alpha Psi fraternity was recently given the 1948 Henry Smith Oswell award for leadership in tolerance and discrimination.
Fraternity Gets Tolerance Award
Phi Alpha Psi was formerly a chapter of Phi Kappa Psi, national social fraternity. The Antherst chapter attempted to pledge and initiate a Negro, and its charter was revoked by the national organization. The chapter then organized as a local fraternity, using the name Phi Alpha Psi.
The award was given by the New England regional conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Phi Kappa Psi has a chapter at the University. The house is at 1100 Indiana street.
Czech Leader To Lecture
Dr. Stefan Osusky, leader of the Czechoslovak government in exile during World War II, and former representative to the League of Nations for his country, left Monday on a lecture tour for the University bureau of lectures and concerts.
This Junior Is Also Housemother For 35 Women At Harmon Co-op
After Hitler's occupation of Prague in 1939, Dr. Osusky mobilized the people of his country residing in France and signed a treaty with France to authorize organization of a Czech army on French soil. After the fall of France, he managed to transport thousands of his army to Great Britain.
He will speak on the topic, "Is Peace Between Russia and America Possible" at high school assemblies and clubs throughout Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma.
At present, Dr. Osusky is head of the recently organized Council of Free Czechoslovakia which is working to ease the burden of Czechs and Slovaks behind the iron curtain.

A College junior is a housemother in charge of 35 women.
Her name is Porteus H. Latimer, a 42-year-old sociology major who has the job of housemother at Harmon co-op.
Finding the time for both jobs is not easy, Miss Latimer said.
"My first semester at KU, was really hard for me," she added. I had ___ that day.
"My first semester at K.U. was re been out of school for so long." She **taught grade-school music for 21** years.
Pvt. Dyche was recovering in a hospital today from injuries suffered when he was run over by a tank and then struck by a truck in an army convoy. The injuries were not serious.
Now she is finding it easier.
Wichita, April 1—(U.P.)-Pvt. Harry Dyche, 25, Kingman, must be the luckiest soldier in the United States army.
"Taking care of the girls is a large order, but during the evenings I can study without interruption," she explained.
Attendants at the hospital said Pvt. Dyche suffered possible fracture of the left arm, bruises and head lacerations.
The tank slowed suddenly Thursday as Dyche climbed from the turret. He fell in front of it and the tank passed over his body, deadly steel tread straddling his body. The truck behind the tank hit the prone body of the soldier.
After she finishes her work at Kansas she plans to study in a school of theology to obtain her doctor's degree. She is not worried about her future after that.
Miss Latimer was born in 1906 and taught church groups in Washington county before she started teaching voice and piano in grade school.
Uncle Sam's Men Are Plenty Tough
"I don't care where I work or what job I have, for I think all the work will be interesting," she commented. "I am eager to get out of school and go into some type of home missions work."
'Sooner' Students Go Hungry Also
Their two-meals-a-day schedule of 1,030 calories a day—contrasted with the 7,500 consumed daily by the average American—began Monday and will continue for five days or until the fund campaign goes over the top. The money will be used to help feed European students, who average only 800 calories a day.
Norman—(U.P.)-Nine students at the University of Oklahoma were on a "semi-starvation" diet recently in an effort to aid the campus fundraising drive of the World Student Service organization.
The semi-starvation luncheon menu: cup of bouillon, two tablespoons of cottage cheese, half-cup of cooked broccoli, half-slice of bread, teaspoon of butter, three-fourths cup of strawberries, and a glass of skimmed milk.
Chicago. Ill.—U.(P.)—Sammy, a 15-
months-old dog, is happy. He does
not have to go to the dentist any
more.
The dinner menu: beef stew, lettuce and tomato salad, half slice of bread, teaspoon of butter, glass of skimmed milk and three-fourths cup of peaches.
14 Visits To Dentist Makes Dog Champ
Fourteen times Sammy, a thoroughbred cocker spaniel, went under ether to have braces fitted to his leg and carries his former owner, E. C. Wanger.
As a result, Mr. Wanger said, Sammy won the dog-show blue ribbons he was unwittingly working for and the ordeal is over.
