Summerfields Are Men with Promise of Future Usefulness
It takes more than brains to be a scholar.
It takes more than that certain inexplicable quality which everybody likes to stamp simply as "impeccable character."
Solon Summerfield, University endowment donor, had definite ideas about scholars—he said they needed more than brains, or "impeccable character," when he first gave a scholarship fund of $5,000 to K.U. in 1929.
Since then, more than 200 men have attended the University on Summerfield scholarships, awarded to them because they were "men of superior ability, high ideals, and definite promise of future usefulness," as Mr. Summerfield believed they should be.
When Mr. Summerfield, now president of the Gotham silk hosiery manufacturing company in New York City, gave $5,000 to K.U. in 1929, he made more provisions. For the academic year 1930-31, he would deposit $10,000 with the Endowment association, $15,000 for 1931-32, and for each succeeding year thereafter, $20,000. The $20,000 is now used as Mr. Summerfield suggested.
To qualify for one of these scholarships, the student first is nominated by his high school principal. Then preliminary examinations, to test his personal ability and training, are held in the spring at various points over the state. If he succeeds here, he still has far to go. Only a limited number of those making the best showing on this test are invited to enter the final examination later at the University. From these are chosen as many as the Summerfield fund will permit.
"I desire," he said, "that the income from the fund shall be distributed to scholars who do not have means sufficient to enable them to carry on their studies most advantageously. The scholars shall be guaranteed a reasonable living income by having their private resources supplemented, when necessary, by payments from this fund.
"I hope," he continued, "that there will be no distinction between those who receive financial aid and those who do not. I do not wish the acceptance of aid to carry any legal obligation for its repayment. My reward will come from the satisfaction of knowing that I have helped these boys accomplish more in the world than they otherwise could have done.
"I trust that every reasonable means will be faithfully employed in estimating the qualifications of candidates for these scholarships, so that they may be awarded only to the most capable and most worthy of the candidates."
K. U. men who hold Summerfield scholarships are J. Earl Barney, Clyde E. Jacobs, D. Allen Rogers, J. D.Kabler, Warren L. Kump, Robert W. McJones, Robert L. Bailey, George H. Caldwell, Dale I. Rummer, James R. Bowden, Dean T. Collins, John E. Crump, Hal M. Davison, Delmer F. Harris, James C. Henderson, Charles W. Marsh, Wilbur B. Noble, Donald E. Owen, William L. Stringer, Austin H. Turney, Jr., O. William Vandiver, W.Glenn Warner, and Gerald G. Wilson.
Kansas Bumper Wheat Crop Prospect Gone, Survey Says
Chicago. (UP) — Kansas, the nation's biggest winter wheat state, lost hope of a bumper crop, according to a survey by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railway company.
Immediate rain, however, still could produce a normal or better crop, the survey said. It covered reports received up to April 27.
The southwestern portion was hit worst and it appears doubtful if this corner of the county will raise wheat as 50 per cent of what wheat as last year, the report said.
A similar condition prevails in northwestern Kansas, but a good crop is expected from the mid-central portion. However, all Kansas except the eastern third needs moisture, the report showed.
The state had been expected to produce 212,175,000 of the government's national forecast of 830,636,000 bushels.
Signs of Spring: Hayride in the Moonlight
An unmistakable sign of spring on the campus is the flurry of hayrides being scheduled for weekend moonlit nights. This scene shows Carruth men and their dates on a recent outing—left to right, front row,

Considering The Price of Man, He Really Isn't Worth A——
By ALVERTA NIEDENS (Daily Kansan Staff Writer)
Such a lot of machinery for such a little guy, and he's practically worthless, too.
In line with post-war prices, man, who used to be considered worth about 89c, is now priced between $1.25 and $1.50, according to Prof. R. Q. Brewster of the chemistry department. "And most of that goes for taxes," he said.
When Mother-Nature squirted man into his gunny sack and woman into a sugar sack exoskeleton, she was practical, economical, and not the least artistic in her work. How was she to know what Varga would do with the result? How could she realize the possibilities of a "Petty's-eye" view?
Like tossing together a spring salad, she stirred in some oxygen (72% to be exact), a little hydrogen (13½ pounds if you weigh 150 pounds, and 10 pounds if you weigh 110 pounds), tossed in a handful of carbon (13½%), a few shots of nitrogen and calcium, plus a pinch of iron (4½ grams), a speck of iodine (20/1000 of a gram worth % of a mill) and a few other chemicals including sulphur.
It brings your ego down, when accused of having "water on the brain," to admit that you are $72\%$ water, and a trifle of that is likely to be on the brain. And $18\%$ of you is fat, some of which likely has gone to your head.
How can little girls be made of sugar and spice, and everything nice?
