STUDENTS AND ALUMNI TOOK PROMINENT PARTS.
Wherever Kansas Day Banquets Were Held the University Was Well Represented.
The forty-ninth anniversary of the admission of Kansas into the Union was celebrated with banquets and after-dinner speeches last Saturday evening in many cities in the country. Loyal Kansans gathered to tell their love for the state, whether they were still within its borders or whether they were of the large number of formerly of Kansas men, who are making good in other parts of the United States.
The gathering at Topeka was the only one where politics was distinctly planned as part of the program. It was under the auspices of the Kansas Day club which is an organization to promote Republicanism which thus met for its nineteenth annual banquet on Saturday evening. A.M. Ebright of the Law School represented the Republicans of the University on the program by a speech entitled "The Young Republics." He spoke of the interest with which the young men of the party had studied its past history and were especially interested in its status at the present time.
While recognizing the testing which that party was receiving from the controversy within its ranks, Mr. Ebright expressed the pride of young Republicans in their political parentage and their confidence in the ability of its leaders. Prof. W. L. Burdick, I. N. Williams, and Gordon Badger of the Law School and several other students from the University attended the banquet. Many alumni from over the state were present, among whom the candidates for congressional honors were especially prominent.
Chancellor Strong was among the prominent Kansans who spoke at the first annual banquet of the Kansas Society of Chicago By their united efforts they again definitely decided that there is nothing the matter with Kansas.
The University is also especially interested in the gathering of ex-Kansans held at Denver, because Charles M. Harger, director of the work in journalism, was a guest and made one of the principal addresses of the evening. He spoke in appreciation of the also referred to the share Kansans state's agricultural resources and have in keeping things interesting at the national capital.
T. B. Ford, '04, president of the Washington alumni chapter of the alumni chapter of the University, who is now with the United States Bureau of Standards, was one of the speakers at the celebration in Washington, D.C. A Kansas club with more than two hundred members was organized during the evening.
In New York city the chief speaker at the Kansas celebration was Justice David J. Brewer of the United States supreme court, history and were now especially but formerly an attorney practicing law in Kansas. Henry J. Allen, the versatile Wichita editor, spoke in praise of Roosevelt and in praise of the Kansas insurgents.
