Negro Sororities Further Cause Of Race At School
Pil chaper of Della Sigma Theis sorority was founded at the University of Kansas in June 1925. This newly organized chapter was comprised of 38 members. At present the chapter has 18 active members and 10 pledges.
This sorority has promoted several projects in the interest of Negroes at the University of Kansas. Each year old books are collected, rebound by the members and pledges, and sent to rural libraries for the Negroes of the South. An activity and scholarship ring is presented annually to the pledge with the best scholastic record and who takes part in the most activities of the University.
The sorority has sponsored a club for Negro girls of junior high school age in Lawrence. This club, a combination of social and vocational guidance, was formed to urge girls to seek higher education and enter those vocations in which they show a special aptitude.
The annual social affairs of Delta Sigma Theta sorority consist of: a mixer for all Negro students at the beginning of each school year; a Christmas dinner-dance; and a senior breakfast.
Some of the outstanding members of Psi chapter of Delta Sigma Theta are: Esther Davis, supervisor of Harlem Social Welfare association and Oresta Adams, director of Art at Tuskegee Institute.
The Delta chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority was organized and received its charter Nov. 12, 1915. It was the fourth organized chapter of this sorority in the country. It was started at the home of Mirah Young, 1725 Tennessee, who became their first patroness mother.

Mrs. Hodge was elected to the Sigma Iota honorary society in the chemistry department.
Among the annual affairs opened by the sorority are: Founders Day banquet, annual fashion show spring dance, and a forum program
First Faculty President Taught Psychology
- Starting As Mental Philosophy Department Now Offers 34 Courses Under Staff of 10
By Jean Boswell, c'41
Psychology was first taught at the University by Eilal Joy Rice, the first faculty president, under the name "Mental Philosophy" as a one semester senior course. At that time psychology had not been separated from philosophy in the university curricula.
The next year, 1865-1867, John W Horner was president and he also continued the course as mental philosophy. In 1873, under the chancellorship of James Marvin, the course was stated in the catalog as being a "course in mental and moral science" (Friedrich von Gabel, *Instrutor*.) The next year the title of the course was changed to "mental and moral science."
It was during the year 1888-1889 that the first course in psychology proper was taught, and this course also included a study of logic. It was offered for sophomores, "every other day at eleven," taught by Olin Templin, who also had classes in philosophy.
By 1890 the University had grown to a faculty of 33 and a student body of 542, and psychology was required by all except engineering students. Twenty seven years ago the department of philosophy and psychology moved to its present site in the administration building, and Professor Booth was replaced by Professor Tuttle. The head of the department of philosophy. For the first time in the history of the department, in 1917, the

psychology and philosophy curricula were completely separated. R. H. Wheeler, of the University of Oregon came to the department in 1925.
The department now has a staff of 10, and the number of courses is 34.
Theme of this proposed even would be "Seventy-Five Years of Scholarship (Phi Beta Kappa) and Original Investigation (Sigma XI)." Professor Mitchell said the commission's findings and that all its proposals are merely

It is possible, Professor Mitchell said, that the anniversary of the laying of the corner stone of Old North
under discussion. He said a celebratic celebration is certain but that it had not been determined whether to hold it in the spring or in the fall of 1941. This celebration would commemorate the opening of this university—the actual first number of students. The date was September 12, 1866.
On that occasion, to be known as the "Final Commemoration," the choice of the first faculty, the coming of the first students, and the integrity of the graduating classes would be honored. Idea stressed will be the "Obligations of the Vision." The tentative program includes a Retrospective Summary—alumni and class exercises; a Circumvective Study of Utilities; an Orientation is at the 1914 Commencement, a Prospective Dedication—Baccalaureate and Commencement Exercises.
