The Summer:
Terrific
It was a terrific summer!
Summer session students toiled through V-J day, music camp, football practice in shorts, hot weather and ———
The women on the campus this summer got a break when 130 new V-12's arrived at K.U, for 16 weeks. These men were transferred to the University from Kansas State Teachers college, Pittsburg, and Dennison university, Granville, Ohio.
Then came the old problem of again learning who was whose roommate at the PTs so one wouldn't make the mistake of using the same line with sailors who might compare notes.
On July 2 came 175 high school musicians from 10 states to enroll in the Mid-West Band camp for six weeks of intensive musical training. Fifty University persons assisted Prof. Russell L. Wiley, camp director, and 12 guest conductors were brought in to round out the group. The camp was organized into an orchestra, concert band, and chorus and gave concerts each week while they were here.
Dr. Frank C. Neff, senior member of the staff at the University of Kansas School of Medicine, Kansas City, retired after 21 years of administration. Dr. Herbert V. Miller was named Dr. Neff's successor.
Coach Henry Shenk's spirits dropped to subassessment when Charles Moffett, Jr., Jayhawker football star, and big-Big Six tailback in '44, was inducted into the armed services, but summer football practice went on as scheduled with 55 promising players attired in summer shorts working out on the gridiron. Lt. Col. Watson L. McMorris, professor of military science at the University was released from his duties here and assigned to Ft. Leonard Wood. Capt. Carl Wince temporarily took command of the unit here until Capt. John D. Bradley could take charge.
The Guidance bureau had to close temporarily while 40 per cent more office and laboratory space was installed to accommodate the land office business that is handled there.
The DuPont men who had been living at Lindley hall since April 1, and working at the Hercules Powder plant, moved on to Louisville; Chancellor Deane W. Malott and Oscar S. Stauffer, chairman of the state board of regents, attended an alumni dinner in New York city; half of the eight weeks session was over.
Ralph Waldo May, University honor man for 1944, received word of his award, down in the Philippines. May was then stationed in Manila.
The civil engineers got a revolutionary testing device that measures to a millionth of an inch, change in materials under stress; Miller and Watkins hall scholarships were granted to 84 women and one of the first war time curtailments at the University came with the closing of the Engineering Science Management War Training program, (ESMWT) after 51,000 men and women had been trained.
University officials gave the green light on the 4-week Intersession and the Bureau of Business Research reopened with Prof. Leslie Waters a director.
At 6 p.m. August 14, the flash came through that Japan had surrendered. The Summer Session Kansan went on the streets with an extra. Sailors yelled "Discharge papers!" as they read the news. The University whistle sounded its most welcome blast in history—announcing the end of the war—the world was at peace.
This was K.U.'s summer.
Gold was worked to make jewels before the use of bronze was known.

500 Schools Receive Gift Subscriptions
The schools were notified of the gift by Dr. E. R. Hall, director of the museum.
Dyche museum of natural history has received 500 Kansas schools subscriptions to the Junior Natural History magazine, a gift of Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Goethe.
Five schools in each county are recipients of the gift of the California couple, who feel that students gaining a knowledge of the natural history of their local environment are more responsible adults in the wise use of natural resources, and are more watchful over the local environment, natural, social, and civil.
