Sixteen-Year-Old Gets Key
Robert Boothby To Be Speaker At Convocation
Bobert Boothby, member of parliament and leader of the Young Conservative party, will speak on "Peace Is Our Business" at a convocation, at 10 a.m. Monday, in Hoch auditorium.
He has visited Russia twice, which may explain his advocacy of the new treaties and progressive relations between that country, England, and the United States. His great popularity throughout England, and his quick grasp and human understanding of world events has resulted in his being mentioned repeatedly as a probably future prime minister.
Barber Receives University Citation For 50 Years Service to Mankind
Mr. Boothby, one of the most promising of the liberalists has been acclaimed as the best speaker in the House of Commons where he has been for nearly 10 years.
Advocates New Treaties
As parliamentary private secretary to Winston Churchill when the latter was chancellor of the exchequer from 1926 to 1929, he received training in political and international affairs. A vote of confidence from his constituency supported his opposition to the Munich agreement. His job as undersecretary to the ministry of food placed him in charge of the emergency feeding arrangements during the blitz, and he introduced the National Milk plan. A member of the R.A.F., he was adjutant of a bomber squadron.
Studied History and Economics
Educated at Eton and Magdalen college, Oxford, history and economics were his special interests. He was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Scots Guards in 1919. A few years later, he was a student in Sir Walter Monoton's Chambers, and in 1923 he was private secretary to Stanley Baldwin.
"For his beneficient service to all mankind through more than fifty years, on five continents and the islands of the seas; for his contribution to the knowledge of the prevention and cure of infectious diseases through his researches, carried on not only in the cloistered laboratories of our home land but also in the marshes and jungles of Malaya, India, Africa, South America, in Manchuria, in Greece, and in other areas containing primitive tracts; and for the inspiring humility and great
For his work in the field of bacteriology, Dr. Marshall A. Barber was awarded the University citation for distinguished service last night. Dr. Barber was graduated from the university in 1891 and was assistant associate and professor of bacteriology here from 1894 to 1911. Holmes Presents Citation

Following the citation, Dr. Barber, as eighth lecturer in the Noble Pierce Sherwood lectureship series, spoke on "Bacteriological Investigations in the Philippine Islands."
good will with which he has moved forward as his magnificent vision for human service unfolded: the Alumni association of the University of Kansas cites Marshall Albert Barber of the class of 1891, retired staff member of the United States Public Health service, staff member of the International Health division of the Rockefeller foundation, past president of the American Academy of Tropical Medicine, officer in the Sanitary Corps of the United States army in World War I, and from 1894 to 1911 a teacher in this University."
Dr. Barber will address the Kansas chapter of Sigma Xi, national honorary science fraternity, at 7:30 tonight in Blake hall. His topic will be "Anopheles Gambiae in Brazil," a discussion of mosquito control in Brazil. The address is open to the public.

Prof. A. H. Turney, head of the Vocational Guidance bureau, and Prof. H. B. Fepinsky, assistant head, returned recently from a two day conference in Kansas City where they met with the Veterans' administration to discuss plans for a possible arrangement whereby veterans would be assisted by vocational advisement.

Washington, (INS) — The American Association of University Professors declared today that the dismissal of Dr. Homer P. Rainey as president of the University of Texas by the Institutions Board of Regents was a serious disregard of academic practice and urged his reinstatement.

Allies Making Dresden Drive By Air and Land
International News Service
Red army spearheads, supported by day and night Allied air bombardment, smashed to within 45 miles of Dresden, bomb torn capital of German Saxon, the Soviet Tass agency said today.
American and British bombers, in round-the-clock attacks, supported the surging Russian drive. RAF bombers pounded the main rail line running through Dresden east to the Silesian battle front. American bombers roared to within 50 miles of the Red army front in Germany.
Progress continued slowly but methodically on the western front where Canadian troops poured toward the communications center of Emmerich beyond captured Cleve and the United States Third army to the south sawed its way through the seemingly endless defense belt of the Siegfried line.
Honshu Attack
Yanks Gain 11 Miles on Betaan
Washington reported a new superfortress attack on the main Japanese home island of Honbu, with Tokyo adding the information that aircraft plants in the city of Nagoya comprised the chief targets. Twenty-first bomber command headquarters disclosed that B-29s are now operating from bases on Tinian island south of Sipan.
Vanki Cain 11 Miles on Batan
The extra fourth issue of the Jayhawker will be released in April and the commencement issue will be issued in June, Mary Morrill, editor of the magazine, said today.
American troops in the Philippines scored an 11 mile advance along historic Bataan peninsula and subjected hold out Japanese elements in southern Manila to heavy artillery fire.
Special Jayhawker To Be Printed in April
The April issue of the magazine will include camera shots and feature stories on student life. Two feature stories will be "Campus Characters" and "The Jayhawker Goes to a Pinning."
Tickets will be sold in the fee line for those purchasing the extra issue. Students who have already bought a year's subscription will be given a reduced rate on the extra issue.
This issue is the first attempt of the Jayhawker staff to get back to the regular pre-war schedule of five issues a year. No plans were made at the first of the year to put out an extra issue, which explains the necessary extra charge for the issue, Miss Morrill said.
