Olin Templin, Former Dean, Dies
Olin Templein, former dean of the College, died this morning after an illness of nearly two months.
TEMPLIN, FORMER DEAN
(continued from page one) secretary of the endowment association, he has helped secure many important gifts for the University. Named after him is Templin hall, one of the scholarship dormitories for men at the University, maintenance of which is contributed chiefly by alumni of the school. Nearly two years ago, alumni and University authorities began a campaign to establish the Templin Fellowship fund, the goal of which was $12,000. More than half this amount had been raised at the time of Dean Templin's death.
Established Association
Dean Templin was responsible for establishing the University of Kansas Alumni association. He founded the University Endowment association, and originated the idea for the nationally known scholarship dormitory system for men at the University. He was a founder of the Southwest Philosophic conference, and also was instrumental in establishing the group known as the Deans of Liberal Arts in the state Universities of the Mississippi valley.
One of his greatest contributions to the University Scholarship funds was interesting Solon E. Summerfield, New York manufacturer in the welfare of young men wishing to attend the University, and establishing the Summerfield scholarships, which provide annually nearly $20,000 for worthy young men of high scholarship at the University. Has Two Daughters
He is survived by two daughters. Mrs. H. W. Rankin, of Albuquerque, N. M., and Mrs. W. H. Wallhouse, of Ames, Iowa; two sisters. Mrs. Elma Hirst, Richmond, Kan., and Mrs. Ida Diebert, Denver; and one brother, Dana Templin, Los Angeles.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott, in commenting today on the death of Dean Templin, said:
"A devoted, loyal, and untiring member of the University of Kansas staff for nearly sixty years, we shall miss his genius for putting creative ideas into beneficial effect. His work will stand as a memorial of idealism and genuine concern for the welfare of our youth through the generations to come."
Students from the public administration course at Elmira college recently spent a week in Washington to receive a more realistic picture of what the government is like.
Howey Will Return To Teach Business
Prof. R. S. Howey, professor of economics, will resume his position as instructor in the University after being discharged from the army because of the over-age regulation. Dean F. T. Stockton announced yesterday.
Professor Howey will instruct classes in mathematics in addition to his classes in the School of Business.
Word has also been received by Dean Stockton that Lt. William Shannon of the U S Navy, formerly professor of economics, is now stationed in Boston, and Capt. Joseph Taggart, also a former professor in the School of Business, is now stationed with the army in New York City.
Both are on leave from the University.
Don Keown, Kansan sports editor who is in the hospital with pneumonia, was reported to be quite well today.

Mme. Chiang Kai-Shek's Message
The loss of over 200 anatomy books in the fire last night was estimated by Mr. Baker to be at least $3000. Many of these books which were lost cannot be replaced now.
Mme. Chiang Kai-Shek's Message New York, (INS)—Mme. Chiang Kai-Shek: "Let us, the United Nations, which have come together by choice resolve to create a world resting on the pillars of justice, co-existence, co-operation and mutual respect."
Medical students stood guard last night over the still-steaming vault where equipment valued at thousands of dollars was stored. Upon examination this morning the equipment was found to be intact.
Arrangements were made for the CVC members to call upon each fraternity and men's residence hall to get the contributions to the campaign. The CVC has also placed a box in Watson library where books to be sent to service men may be left.

First Big Fire Since 1918 Fowler Blazed Then
The fire which destroyed the anatomy building yesterday was the first serious fire on the University campus since Fowles shops burned during World War I on May 9,1918.
The Fowler shops fire occurred just three weeks before the building was to be turned over to the government for use in training soldiers. The loss at that time was about $16,000 to the building and about $18,000 to the equipment. The shops were reconstructed at that time?
almost as they had been before the fire. Some of the machinery was later reclaimed and put into working order.
A fire of lesser seriousness in the tower of Fowler shop damaged ROTC uniforms and equipment to the sum of about $4,000 on July 17, 1932.
Powerhouse Burned In 1898
Another fire which affected University students was the fire of 1898 which destroyed the powerhouse. At this time, a two-weeks' vacation was forced because of lack of heat and power. Before 1898 the engineering shops had been in the powerhouse. After the fire, a separate shop building was constructed.
George A. Fowler, a Kansas City packer, gave the University $18,000 for the construction of the new shops which were named in honor of his father. The building was constructed in 1899.
