An Old Grad Finds It For a Future Grad
September. . . 20-odd years ago.
. . . a young man walked alone about the campus atop Mt. Oread.
. . . looked at the red-roofed buildings. . . saw the valley stretched below. . . felt the strange mixture of "the old with the new". . . and with a kind of indifference and a sort of a smile said, "Hello K.U."
September. . . . 1940. . . two men. . . one not so young. . . walked together about the Hill. . . looked at the ultra-modern fountain room . . . saw Old Glory and the Crimson and the Blue floating side by side over Fraser hall. . . felt the greatness and the pride in the words "Diamond Jubilee". . . and then the young man said, "What is a tradition?" and for an answer the other showed him:
The Pioneer, the bronze monument erected by Dr. Simeon B. Bell to the pioneer of 1856 and now affectionately dubbed "The Man and the Spade" by the students.
The Old Fort, the stone located just east of Fraser hall which marks the site of the barracks and trenches in 1863.
North College Hill, where in 1861 began the services of the first University of Kansas—Old North College.
Blake Clock, which was originally a complicated electrical device installed in 1895 that continued to preclaim the time to be 8:25 until it was replaced in 1920 by a real time piece.
The Senior bench, on the slope south of Marvin grove which was presented to the University by the class of 1914.
The Stadium, conceived in 1919 as a memorial to those K.U. men who lost their lives in the first World War.
Marvin grove, so called after Chancellor Marvin who had so much at heart the beauty of the campus, and who must have visioned a future short-cut from the fountain to the class room.
The Lilac hedge, which for 58 years has been a source of beauty and delight for those who pass along the drive from Blake to Fourteenth street.
The Pi Phi bench, southwest of Blake, overlooking Wakarusa valley, which was erected in 1923 on the semi-centennial of the sorority.
The Red Bud bench, standing between two red bud trees southwest of the museum since its erection in 1916 by the Misses Rose Morgan and Edith Clark in memory of Miss Kate Stephen's verses about the Red Bud Tree.
The Bulletin boards, flanking the walk to the library and presented by the class of 1936.
Uncle Jimmy Green Memorial, with Uncle Jimmy "pointing the way of light" to a student, sculptered by Daniel Chester French. Then he said, "This much I can show you—the rest you will discover for yourself."
McCook field, where the first football game was played and K.U. sent the Illini back to Champaigne with the short end of a 26-4 score.
A sudden gust of wind caught the folds of the two flags above Fraser hall and together they spread their crimson and blue against the sky.

Hockenhull On Circulation
LAWYERS HOLD—
The easiest way to make money from subscriptions, according to Hockenhull, who is a former University of Kansas man, is to find what money can be made from renewals.

(Those people who rob one light socket to fill another)
THEN THIS IS ONE WAY to get enough light to read a book. Get out all the old gift lamps you've been afraid to give away for fear of offending your wife's relatives. Group them all around your easy chair.
HERE'S A BETTER WAY to enjoy good lighting. Lay in a supply of the right size lamp bulbs so you can laugh at "bulbsnatchers" and always keep your own bulb in your favorite reading lamp. Better get some bulbs today at new low prices and fill all the empty sockets in your home.
REMEMBER: SIGHT IS PRICELESS—GOOD LIGHT IS CHEAP
