Three pictures, dealing with community planning, cancer research and crime prevention, will be present at 3:30 and 7:30 o'clock on Thursday in Fraser theater under the auspices of the Forums Board.

Born in 1870 in Linn county, Miss Corbin attended public schools in that county until she entered the University in 1889. After being graduated in 1893, she received her Ph.D. from Yale and spent some time studying at the University of Berlin and the University of Wisconsin.

She began teaching here in 1902, was made assistant professor of German in 1910, associate professor in 1911, and professor in 1920.
Miss Corbin's chief interest was in development of the student's individuality. She believed that the object of student government is to develop good citizenship and regarded it as indispensable.
Because of her deep interest in individuals, Miss Corbin was appointed dean of women from 1918 to 1921. After 1921, she served as student adviser in the office of the dean of the College.
Helped Obtain Funds
Through Miss Corbin's activity, committees to obtain funds for dormitories for Kansas state schools were organized in New York, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, St. Louis, and Ann Arbor, Mich.
As a result of a conference with
NICE GIRL?
Gov. Henry J. Allen in 1920, Miss Corbin and four other deans of women drafted a bill, which was presented to the legislature and won an appropriation of $500,000, of which $150,000 contributed to the building of Corbin hall. They later obtained $25,000 for furnishings.

She resigned from the faculty in 1933 because of ill health.

The goal for this campus and the means for attaining it have not been announced, but the movement is being backed by all the major Hill

GLEE CLUB----
erally are speaking of waitresses or some other variety of pulchritude—the geniuses in the rough came to the astounding conclusion that if female waiters are waitresses, then, since we speak in the feminine of the University, it should be, not alma mater, but alma mattress.
The boys all gorged themselves thoroughly on lemon custard ice cream cones and what every else they could induce the waitresses to bring them. Dashing madly for the bus at the official sounding-call through the public address system, we found that John Riisoe had bribed the cutie in charge so he could get his voice on the air.
Tomorrow it is Russell, all day—three concerts, a few pool games and lots of rest in between for the traveling days ahead. The towns are far between out here.
