THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Senate Opinion Will Determine Wallace's Fate
Those who remember the events of the Democratic Convention in Chicago last July are wondering if the President's failure to support Henry Wallace might possibly be repeated in the final stages of the present senatorial debate on the confirmation of the latter's appointment as secretary of commerce.
In July, although the President commended Mr. Wallace, he left his renomination as vice-president up to the convention. It is apparent that the President again is not strongly urging the approval of Mr. Wallace. The chief executive admitted, when he nominated Mr. Wallace after siring Mr. Jones, that the action was taken purely for political reasons. Most disapproval is apparently based on the unwillingness of the senate to allow Mr. Wallace to control the commerce department's lending agencies. Previously, the appointee had implied his desire to head the agencies with their titanic power in the United States economy.
It must be remembered that Mr. Jones was uninviled in popularity on Capitol Hill. It has been said that "his hard-headed practicality caused Congress to give him carte blanche for his chief responsibility the reconstruction finance corporation." Mr. Wallace has found far less favor with the legislators. They consider him "an astral thinker with disturbing, visionary thoughts of helping the whole world." One senator even charged that the Iowan desired "the vast resources of the RFC to finance and promote his social reforms."
In addition to the possibility of the senate's disapproval of his appointment, Mr. Wallace must consider the George bill which, if accepted, will separate from his job as commerce secretary, the work as federal loan administrator, an arrangement which the senate especially approved for Mr. Jones. Wallace advocates realize, however, that unless the George bill is approved, the confirmation of their candidate's appointment will never be achieved. Mr. Roosevelt has given no indication that he will intervene—the decision rests with the senate. J. V.

Rock Chalk Talk
KEEVEN
By LA VERNE
Three little words started a bull session last night in the recreation room of Corbin hall which lasted for nearly two hours. "Oh, this war!" complained one of the girls. From then on, politics, economics, and religion were the topics of discussion.
At 1:30 Mary "Turk" Turkington left the room exclaiming, "Well, I don't think we can get the world straightened out in one night." The meeting adjourned.
***
After entering the laundry room last night, Mary Dudley, Sigma Kappa, discovered she had two ankle with no mates. She went back
Ten minutes later she returned to the scene informing her friends that she had a pair upstairs just like these two.
Margaret Kreider, Chi O, unable to concentrate on the lecture the other day because the room was too warm, asked the professor if a window could be raised.
Gus Lindquist heroically stepped forward to carry out the request, but (as accidents do happen) he stubbed and gracefully landed on Margaret's lap. The victim replied, "A great help that was. Now it's warmer in here than before!"

Young Yale Grad Braves West; Devotes 48 Years to University
E. M. Hopkins, professor emeritus of the department of English, whose portrait painted by a former student, Mrs. Berenice Ackerman Lopez, has been presented to the University, was a member of the faculty from the fall of 1889 until his
resignation after the summer session in 1937. He was the first professor of journalism at the University.
Early in the fall of 1889 a vacancy in the department of English was reported to Princeton's five graduate students in English. Four of them considered Kansas too far west and the dangers of Indians too great. When they declined, Hopkins came with the understanding that if he did not like Kansas he could return to the East.
Professor Hopkins was manager and coach of the new team. The University went through the season without a defeat. Professor Hopkins was also one of the group who organized the Inter-state Football association. This organization developed into what was later known as the Missouri Valley Conference. Was Secretary of Cyclers
Professor Hopkins' contributions to the University during his 48 years of teaching were in many and varied fields. In athletic activities he helped organize the first football team. When he came to Lawrence, football had never been played at the University. In 1890 groups of students chose sides and played so-called football with Baker and Kansas City Y. M. C. A. At the end of the season it was decided to organize an athletic association and have an official football team.
Helped With First Football Team
Besides coaching football, at another time Dr. Hopkins captained a faculty basketball team. At an earlier date, the English professor was "secretary, treasurer, and pacemaker" for the "Oread Bicycle Club." A story in the Kansan files about this time describes "a large proportion of the faculty from Chancellor Snow to the assistant professors. . pedaling down the countryside to enjoy the scenery and study the geological aspects of the terrain around Lawrence."
Worked for Departments
Professor Hopkins' work in the English department included substituting contests in debate for the traditional oratorical contest and the establishment of courses in journalism. Through his endeavors, both speech and journalism were established in independent departments.
Professor Hopkins founded the Kansas Association of Teachers of English, and established the Kansas English Bulletin, of which he was editor and publisher for five years. Later he helped with the organization of the Association of the Kansas College Teachers of English.
Established Quill Club
In 1900 Professor Hopkins was the god-father of a literary organization of College students, the American Quill Club. The organization became a national society in 1914 with branches in many universities over the nation. He also named and helped with the christening of the Rhadamanthi Society of the University.
He had charge of all University chapel music for a time, and was for many years organist and choir director in a number of Lawrence churches. In 1942, Hopkins hall, a men's residence hall at 1011 Indiana, was named for him.
Professor Hopkins gave educational addresses in ten states other than Kansas while he was a member of the faculty. He was one of the lecturers on the subject of American literature and literary criticism when extension work was introduced at the University.
Spoke in Ten States
A member of Phi Beta Kappa, he was also a charter member of the American Association of University Professors, a member of the modern Language Association, and of the Simplified Spelling board.

Thayer Has Display Of Edward Davison's Work on Exhibition
A memorial art exhibition of the work of Edward Davison, Wichita banker and painter, is being shown at Thayer museum during the month of February.
The canvasses show work done over a period of many years. There are landscapes of Kansas and New Mexico, interiors with figures, portrait studies, and still life studies. One of the landscapes shows a sunny snow scene, and one of the outstanding portraits is a study of a lawyer, in a blue and grey theme.
Mr. Davison, who died last summer, did little exhibiting to the general public, but was known among painters. Most of the painting belong to private collections.
Karl Mattern, professor of drawing and painting, who was a close friend of Mr. Davison, says that his work showed "warm and expansive spirit, vitality, intellectual curiosity, and conscientiousness in solving complex problems in painting." Mr. Mattern added that, "Mr. Davison followed no school or fashion, but sought to express his own vision in his paintings."
Martin to Confer With Students
Dr. Gordon M. Martin, director of physical therapy at the University of Kansas hospitals in Kansas City, and supervisor of the pre-clinical courses in physical therapy at the University, will confer with students who are interested in physical therapy work Wednesday afternoon, Feb. 7, it was announced today.
A recent article concerning the physical therapy courses created such a wide interest among students here that Dr. Martin felt conferences should be held to clear up any questions that the students might have. Students may phone the School of Medicine office for appointments or they may come to that office Wednesday afternoon.
