Fraser Former Law School Chemistry Lab, Cafeteria
The college atmosphere at the University back in the 1870's meant much more than scurrying students and book-laden professors.
The odors from the chemistry lab and cafeteria, the clatter of strange tongues from the foreign language department, the long-winded orations on the law school; all mingled to form what was then the true collegiate "voice."
Dedicated In 1872
In those days, K.U. meant only Fraser hall and within the walls of that old structure one could find all the marks of higher learning, and several other marks, too.
Dedicated In 1972
Dedicated in December, 1872, Fraser hall has since played host to thousands.
Presidents, Hayes and Grant, have climbed its now creaky stairs to view the surrounding country from the north tower. In 1920, a young vice-presidential candidate, Franklin D. Roosevelt, told the people of Kansas that "Kansas voters have an independence of thought peculiar to the state alone," from the stage of Fraser theater.
Like any normal structure, the old building has had its bad moments. More than once its very life has been threatened Threatened By Fire
Threatened By Fire
A careless cook in the basement cafeteria almost caused it to go up in smoke, and the freezing winds that whipped across Mt. Oread in the winter of 1874 forced the faculty to close many of its rooms because it was impossible to heat them.
Once when a legislative committee visited the one-building campus, they found the halls of Fraser, then known simply as University hall, so filled with odors from the chemistry lab that upon their return to the capital they appropriated funds to construct a chemistry building. The chemistry building that they built was the Journalism building.
eeeches Were Required
For a few years it was require that every student deliver at least one speech during the semester at the daily chapel exercises in Fraser.
These were cancelled, though, when students adopted the practice of throwing bouquets to the speaker and then "lost" their aims to such an extent that more than one faculty member left the exercises covered with flowers and battle scarred.
When the campus became a cluster of three buildings, the name "University hall" no longer seemed appropriate, so in 1897 it was renamed Fraser hall after the first actual chancellor of the university. Building Is 'Text Book'
After Fraser hall was dedicated, a Kansas editor wrote, "The whole building is itself a text book."
New, 75 years later, the only change that could be made in such a description is, "The whole building is itself an education."
They Didn't Study For Poli Sci Exam
Syracuse, N.Y.—(ACP)—A couple of Colgate men have gone back to Hamilton with a slightly distorted idea of how Syracuse university operates. Coming here for the Bolte speech, they went to Maxwell auditorium where the address was scheduled. Upon entering the hall, they were handed copies of typical poli sci exam papers.
Protests were to no avail. In their efforts to explain the situation, their only answer from the professor in charge was, "We've gone over this several times in class."
Bewildered, they fled from the auditorium with something about double cuts hurled after them. It is rumored they are filing a petition for a half hour of credit in poll sci 165.
Curb Service For Fines
Duncan, Okla.—(UP)—Folice are operating a curb service for overtime parkers.
14 Desk sergeant Dick Wright said that persons with parking tickets could double park in front of the police station and blow their horns. Then he will go out and collect the 50-cent fine.
Social And Forum Planned By Nurses
Plans for a forum discussion or the structure study of nursing, and a social for pre-nursing students were made Monday at the bi-monthly meeting of the Registered Nurses club.
Margaret Collins, fine arts freshman, and Marcella Taeves, were named to head the committees for the functions.
Helen McLean, president of the organization, conducted a roundtable discussion on complicated diabetes. Refreshments were served after the meeting.

Between halves of a basketball game the squad turned out in full; the loud speaker announced the impending ceremony and the fans sat back. There it ended.
One point had been overlooked. Someone had forgotten to get a ticket for the professor, so he could enter the over-crowded field house.
Cigarette And Atom Bomb
Cited As Equal Menace
Lincoln, Neb.—(UP)—A letter to State Sen. William Hern, read before the legislature, claimed the proposed cigarette tax should be 5 cents instead of 2, that "the things should be outlawed entirely," and that they are as "great an element of destruction as an atomic bomb."
"I smoke a pipe, drink whiskey,
and play poker," the writer of the
letter said, "but I never get low
enough to smoke a cigarette."
It was signed, "taxpayer."
Decatur, Ind.—(UP)—Edwin H. Kaufman, city audit, thinks that of all terminal leave pay checks he probably has the smallest. He received a check for 2 cents-plus a $400 terminal leave bond.
