Since 1873, Grateful Seniors Have Given $50,000 in Gifts
Since 1873, seniors have been grateful for graduation and have given the University about $50,000 in senior class gifts.
In the beginning, classes were small and so were their gifts. "The Temple of Karnak", an engraving, was presented by the class of 1873. Classes of '74 and '75 also gave engravings. The class of '90 left "several gifts" of rare books.
In 1894, the seniors started a "loan fund" with $324.50. Succeeding classes up to 1901, and the classes of 1910, '16, '17, and '26 added to this fund, with amounts ranging from $13.25 in 1910 to $500 in 1926.
Among other earlier class gifts were bird baths, '03; stone bench on the campus,'14; Seth Thomas clock in the library,'18; and the base for the Pioneer statue,'20.
In the 1920's, gift amounts rose from several hundred dollars to more than a thousand dollars from each class. The climax was reached in 1930, when the senior class gave $3000 to play for the service elevator in the Union, and purchased an insurance policy on the life of its president. The policy will provide $2500 at the 25th anniversary of the class.
During the late '20's and throughout the '30's, the senior classes centered their giving on "Union" needs—leaving money for the building of the the Pine room ('36), the English room ('38), and the Kansas room ('39). The class of '28 bought furniture for the Union and the class of '29 bought a piano for the Union ballroom. The seniors of '41 gave $1500 for the new wing of the Union
The class of 1940 gave $1500 "to help on the men's dormitories." The seniors of '42 were deliberate in their giving. They spent $1054.50 for U.S. defense bonds; the reunion group attending commencement in 1952, the maturity class of the bonds, will choose the class gift.
The recreational area around Potter lake was a gift of '43, the flagstone walk at the dance pavilion a gift of '44, and the crabapple trees a gift of '45.
The present senior class, with its proposed archway to the Memorial Drive, holds the "gateway" to all of these gifts. It has been suggested that they make this archway a real memorial by placing the names of their class members who were killed in war on a plaque on the gate
These are: Dean Broyles, Belleville; Alvin Carsten, Stockton; James Ferguson, McPherson; Charles Kelley, Hutchinson; Johnny Musselman, Iowa; James Richardson, Lawrence; John Stran, Rockford, Ill.; Harold Waldecker, Hutchinson; James Zoellner, Tonganoxie; Lt. Morel Dunham, Kansas City, Mo.; and James Loveless, Topeka.
Monkeyshines Stop New York Traffic
New York. (UP)—Monkeys—best guesses ranged from 40 to 70 of them—took over in a block-square area of lower Manhattan today after escaping from a pet shop.
They stopped traffic at busy Church and Fulton streets, drew huge crowds of onlookers, and caused storekeepers to lock their doors and windows and call for police and firemen.
The monkeyshines started when the animals escaped from boxes at a pet shop, went out a fifth floor window and scattered over the roofs. Some got to the street, others into nearby buildings.
Two of them scampered into the Trinity Mission house just as a boy's choir was starting to practice. The music stopped. Twenty-five boys laid down their hymn books and took up the chase. They got the two—in bags.
Wheat is older than the history of man.

Committee members were appointed co-chairmen of publicity, convocation, correspondence, and project committees at a meeting last Friday and have begun working with assistants to plan the University food drive.

35th Division Plans 1947 Missouri Reunion
Kansas City, Mo. (UP)—The 35th Division Organizing committee announced Monday that a divisional reunion would be held in Kansas City, June 5, 6, and 7, 1947, commemorating the division's activities in the invasion of Europe two years ago.
Col. Mahalon S. Weed, president of the World War I 35th Division association said President Truman and Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, along with other military personnel from Allied countries, would attend the three-day reunion.
The 35th division, which was organized from units of the Kansas and Missouri national guard in the spring of 1917, has about 150,000 members who served with the division in World War I and II and in the national guard during the interim period.
At a meeting in Topeka Sunday, officials named Maj. Gen. Ralph Truman, cousin of the president, as reunion chairman.
President Truman was a captain in the field artillery of the 35th division during World War II and was a member of the 35th division association, Colonel Weed, said.
