Mrs. Doran brought as a gift to the hall an antique steel engraving of the Village Blacksmith which had hung on the walls of Brynwood Place in her girlhood. In addition she presented the dormitory a 10-volume encyclopedia, the property of Mr. Doran, and a modern oil painting by A. L. Tice.

Chinese Student Talks To Lions Club Meeting
A University freshman was the principal speaker at the regular Wednesday night meeting of the Lawrence Liona club, and explained as a first-hand observer, the conditions in China under Japanese domination. The speaker was well qualified for the task, fo; his name is Mou-Hui King and he is the University's newest student from the Far East.
Besides describing the handicaps naturally placed on all Chinese under a Japanese regime, young King told the reason for his attending K.U. The late Chancellor Emeritus E.H.Lindley while ill in Peking was treated by Mou Hui's father in the hospital there, and a friendship was formed, so that when Mou-Hui did come to this country for an education his goal was the University of Kansas. The Chinese student expressed gratitude for being among friendly people, and said that he was sure he would "like the people and the University."
