New Scholarship For Med Students
Mrs. A. J. Anderson, Lawrence gave $1,000 to the University Endowment association, Chancellor Deane W. Malott, announced. The gift will provide a scholarship for medical or pre-medical students in memory of Dr. A. J. Anderson, who died in 1942. Dr. Anderson attended the University from 1877-1881 and 1883-1884.
168-84 Anderson was physician for the K. U. Athletic association for 56 years and assisted in student health examinations. He served on the State Board of Health and on the Lawrence Hospital board.
Income from the endowment will be awarded every three years or less to a needy student who shows promise in medicine. Mrs. Anderson said she hoped to increase the endowment later.
The committee on aids and awards will administer the scholarship.
The largest college and university attendance to date was in 1935, when 1,000 athletes from 67 schools took part. No mention was made of high school athletes. This year, universities will send 444, colleges 241, junior colleges 59, and high schools 1,353 athletes. Twenty-two unattached men will also compete.
The Relays became an annual event in 1923 through the combined efforts of the late Dr. John H. Outland and Dr. Forrest C. Allen, Karl Schlademan, now at Michigan State university, was track coach at that time.
At the first Relays, every school in the Missouri Valley conference, several schools from the Big Ten, and a few Southwestern conference teams were present. Even Pennsylvania university sent its track team.
Dr. Outland, "the father of the Kansas Relays," attended the University in 1895 and 1896, but transferred to Pennsylvania university in 1897. He played football at the University, and was chosen all-American tackle and halfback at Pennsylvania.
Dr. Outland got the idea for the Kansas Relays from the annual Penn Relays.
