Hall of Fame---- University Press Booklet Lauds Former Chancellor
A 40-page booklet entitled "Commemoration of Ernest Hiram Lindley," has just come off the University press.
The booklet is not yet available for general distribution, although copies are being sent to names included on an official list of the University and to those on a personal list of Mrs. Lindley. If any copies are left they may be obtained at the Chancellor's office free of charge, according to $ ^{ \textcircled{4}} $
Raymond Nichols, executive secretary of the University.
A brief biography of Dr. Lindley, the late Chancellor Emeritus and professor of philosophy of the University, is given in the front of the booklet. The main part of the booklet is composed of the addresses of those men who spoke in commemoration of Dr. Lindley at the memorial services held at Hoch auditorium. Sunday, Oct. 13, 1940.
Addresses of Henry J. Allen, former governor of Kansas, William Allen White, editor of the Emporia Gazette. Roy Roberts, managing editor of the Kansas City Star, Ellis B. Stouffer, dean of the Graduate School, and Fred Harris, chairman of the State Board of Regents are included in the "Commemoration."
Dr. Lindley was Chancellor of the University of Kansas from 1920 to 1939. Before that time he was a member of the faculty of the University of Indiana and president of the University of Idaho.
When Dr. Lindley retired from the Chancellorship of Kansas University in June, 1939, he was made Chancellor Emeritus and professor of philosophy of the University. It was his intention to travel around the world for a year, but while on his world tour, Dr. Lindley became ill and he died at sea in August last year en route to the United States.

Hopkins Defers Dewey Sentence; Claflin Freed
The sentence of Alexander H. Dewey, college freshman, who pleaded guilty of failure to register under the selective service act, has been deferred until sometime this month by U. S. District Judge Richard J. Hopkins. Dewey said he failed to register because his anti-war philosophy forbade him to participate in war or warlike actions.
The penalty for draft registration evasion is imprisonment for not more than ten years, or a fine of not more than $10,000 or both.
Robert Palmer, former student, charged with perjury in connection with a violation of the state liquor law, succeeded in getting his preliminary hearing continued until Jan. 10.
The long-standing case of John Claflin, '40, is over at last. Judge Hugh Means granted Claflin a writ of habeas corpus on Dec. 27, freeing him of the remaining three charges of first degree arson which were against him.
The attorneys of Claflin said that all of the state's evidence was presented in the first trial in which he was acquitted.
