Henry Allen Salutes William Allen White At Historical Meet
Tribute was paid to William Allen White, for whom the University School of Journalism is named, by Henry J. Allen, Wichita publisher, during Kansas State Historical society meeting at Topeka yesterday
Mr. Allen's speech was the start-ing gun in the campaign to raise $250,000 for the endowment of the School of Journalism.
Fitting Memorial
"William Allen White loved the newspaper business more than anything else. That is why the most fitting memorial to him should be built around journalism," Senator Allen, head of the memorial committee, said in the course of his tribute.
The fund, he explained, would be used to provide lecturers, prizes for "bests" in journalism, and to contribute toward keeping alive the ambitions of journalism, the small weeklies and dailies which White felt were essential training ground for metropolitan reports.
"William Allen White was a unique man, not because he was a brilliant writer, or because he ran a first-class country newspaper, but because he had a great soul," declared Allen
He sketched their early days of enwspaper work, when White was at El Dorado and Allen a reporter in Salina. He told of White's courageous persistence which impressed the people in Emporia only after he was noticed all over the country. For Honest Journalism
The first ambition of the White School of Journalism will be to "teach an honest type of country journalism that will keep abreast of the world, which will be presented honestly, vigorously, and with what color is necessary at the time," Allen said.
Emporia, he reminded, has already raised $50,000 which will be used for a bronze bust and plaque of his famous editorial, "Mary White," a browsing room in the College of Emporia, a $10,000 loan to the Emporia State Teachers College, and $10,000 to the foundation at K.U. The $250,-000 goal will be raised mainly by subscription.
"Scenes from Chinese life," is the new display in the small show case on the second floor of Watson library. The display is owned by Mrs. Anna Olinger who lent it to the University for two weeks. It consists of small carved wooden figures.
Chinese Life Depicted In Library Display
One piece is a Chinese boat with two Cormorants in it. Cormorants are birds that fish for the Chinese. They have a big ring around their necks to keep them from swallowing the fish. Another piece is a figure of a man pushing a one-wheeled Chinese wheelbarrow. Most of these pieces show Chinese life in the earlier days. Mrs. Olinger obtained the figures from her friends who have been to China.
Miss Mildred Hershey, who is in charge of the displays, said that she would like to find some small dolls to put in the show case.

Midweeks Canceled Until November
A survey made this fall at Minnesota University reveals that there is a $150,000 drop this year in the desire of students for financial aid. The finance department attributes the slacking interest to the greater proportion of men in service, and the many more opportunities for self support offered during the war.
