Alumnus Hears Message Of Roosevelt At Colgate
Representing the University at the inauguration ceremonies of Colgate University's new president, in Hamilton, N.Y., Edward M. Johnson, professor of journalism at Syracuse University and graduate of the University in 1916, heard President Roosevelt assert in his message which was read that, "the challenge of the new day for Amer-
tenge of the new day for American colleges is very great."
The President's message was addressed to Everett Case, Colgate University's new president, before more than 1,000 persons representing 34 states and the District of Columbia and three Canadian provinces. Face New Problems
"May I take this occasion to extend felicitations to you and to Colgate University," Roosevelt wrote. "You will no doubt wish to build upon the achievements of Colgate's distinguished past but you will also find problems facing you quite unprecedented in the history of the institution. In a sense, therefore, you will be writing finis to one chapter and starting another.
"The challenge of the new day for American colleges is very great. All our energies at the present must be devoted to winning the war. Yet winning the war will be futile if we do not throughout the period of its winning keep our people prepared to make a lasting peace. Global Peace
"This time the peace must be global the same as the war has become global. Around the peace table the voice of the United States will have great weight. It is of tremendous importance that it that voice shall represent the aspirations of a people determined that mankind everywhere shall go forward to its destiny. The soul of that destiny is maximum freedom of the human spirit.
"I congratulate you on the great opportunity that is yours and hope that you will find the keenest satisfaction in undertaking the difficult task."
Harlan Fiske Stone, chief justice of the United States, and Joseph Clark Grew, former ambassador to Japan, were among the four men who received honorary degrees at the inaugural program. Both received an honorary doctor of laws degree. Rufus M. Jones, president of the American Friends Service Committee, author of 48 books and professor emeritus of philosophy at Haverford College, received a doctor of humane letters degree, and George D. Stoddard, new commissioner of education and president of the University of New York, received a doctor of letters degree.
Dr. Harold W. Bodds, president of Princeton University; Dr. Harry Emerson E砂dick, pastor of Riverside Church, New York City; Dr W. H. Cowley, president of Hamilton College, Clinton, and Mr. Case were among the speakers of the day.
Cyclones Meet Denver U. Friday in Night Game

The Cyclones will start a squad oten lettermen and one squadrmar from last year's aggregation. Denver will counter with a lineup composed largely of promising first-year men. Denver opened its schedule last week with a 21 to 0 victory over Colorado Mines.
Army Reports Grad Missing In Philippines
Captain Harold A. Jimerson, coast artillery, of Tuscon, Ariz., who received his bachelor of science degree from the University in 1929, is reported "missing in action" in the Philippines according to army releases. Jimerson received his commission in the army reserve when he was graduated.
Called to active duty at Camp Wallace, Texas, June 4, 1941, Jimerson received orders in August for foreign duty in the Philippines. He was evacuated into Bataan in January from the station at Ft. Wint in Subic Bay. Mrs. Jimerson and two children, Susan Kay, aged six and Tommy, aged three and one-half, were notified in June by the war department, that Jimerson is presumed to be a prisoner of war.
Mrs. Jimerson, former student at the University, received the last letter from her husband, written March 6, five months later. It was written in the Philippines, believed to have been sent from there by submarine and later transferred with other mail to a freighter. The freighter was torpedoed, but the mail sack was found and sent to Washington.
Jimerson, while at the University,
was a member of Theta Tau, Scabbard and Blade, and the Masons.
Mrs. Jimerson, the former Miss
Katherine Kimball, was a member of Phi Omega Pi sorority. She and Jimerson were married June 8,
1926 in Kansas City, Mo.
1820 in Rikers Island Mrs. Jimerson and the two children will remain in Tuscon for the duration.
Book reviews in the New York Times and Time magazine have greatly boosted the sales of "Oil in the Earth," by Wallace E. Pratt.
Favorable Reviews Boost Demand For Prot'Oil'Book
The book deals with the search for oil deposits and how they affect the world today. Pratt expresses his opinion that there is oil in Germany, Italy, and Japan, if they only look for it. He asserts that exploration for oil in these countries has not been so extensive as in North and South America.
Pratt is a University graduate of the class of 1910. At present he is a director of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey. He has served with the bureau of sciences in the Philippine Islands as a geologist, and 1920 was president of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists.
Notice to College Students
The book is composed of a series of lectures given to University geology students in March, 1941, and is published by the University of Kansas Press. Prof. W. H. Schoewe of the department of geology edited the manuscript.
It is more important than ever that the enrollment of students be completed and their classes stabilized as early as possible. We are planning, therefore, to complete all enrollments on Saturday morning and to make no changes in any student's enrollment thereafter.
College students who have not yet enrolled, and all those who need to change their programs, must do it between the hours of 9:30 and 11:30 Saturday morning. All such students should present themselves at the cast end of the second floor main corridor of Frank Strong hall, where enrollment will be completed instead of in Robinson gymnasium as formerly.

Alumnus Commends Graduate Magazine
E. Raymond Hall, winner of the Guggenheim fellowship and vice president of the American Society of Mamologists, recently has written a letter to Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary, in which he tells of the importance former University students who are now in the service attach to news of their alma mater.
Hall, himself a graduate of the University in 1924, is now curator of museums and professor of zoology at the University of California and has been visited by service men desiring to swap news of their school and friends. Hall commented that the Graduate Magazine is a means used by many in an effort to keep track of their classmates.
Texas Alumni Planning Round-up for October
Robert Perry, president of the Ft. Worth-Dallas University alumni chapter, is making plans for a big round-up of Jayhawkers at Fort Worth when the football team arrives there Oct. 10 for the game with Texas Christian University.
'Bambi,' New Disney Film, to Jayhawker
Felix Salten's best seller, Bambi, has been brought to the screen by Walt Disney and is opening Sunday, Sept. 27, for one week at the Jayhawker theater in Lawrence.
Perry is sending out invitations to Kansas alumni in cities within a radius of 300 miles. He has made arrangements for Kansans to sit together at the game, and will also include a luncheon and other meetings in his "round-up" plans.
Bambi has been reviewed as one of Disney's greatest masterpieces. The picture has been in production for five years, having indeed been started before Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It represents a high peak of achievement by Walt Disney, the man who has created a whole new field of entertainment. Technically miraculous as it is, it is the emotional content of Bambi which gives it its greatest importance. Birth, growth, romance, anguish, triumph-all are found in Bambi. Through his wild animal characters, a great love story is created. Beauty and spectacle were not overlooked. Bambi was filmed in technicolor and achieves an illusion of third dimension which has never before been seen on the screen. The climax of the picture is a vast forest fire, a marvel of animation seldom, if ever, equalled by the "living" screen.
