DEDICATED
EXERCISES HELD IN CHAPEL AND ON STEPS OF NEW BUILDING.
A Day of Honor for One Man,
James Woods Green--Keys Delivered Between Columns.
JAMES WOODS GREEN.
Yesterday was "Uncle Jimmy's" day, and the dedication of the new home of the Laws was performed with impressive ceremonies. The audience was
large, including many alumni and former students. Judge Green and Samuel W. Moore, 87, now a prominent lawyer of Kansas City, delivered addresses.
As the Judge came forward to speak, the entire audience arose in a body and welcomed him with cheers. He said in part: "The dream of twenty years has become a reality. The hope of every law instructor and every student has been consummated. We meet here today to celebrate the fulfillment of this dream and the achievement of our hope." Reviewing the history of the University and the law department, he told how their quarters had been moved from building to building and from room to room, until at last they were in a home of their own.
Samuel W. Moore talked on "The Relation of the Lawyer to Society." His delivery was impressive and every word was distinctly heard. He said in part: "There is a broader scope and a wider horizon in the practice of law than in any other profession or calling." He further said: "This is an age of professionalism. There is a tendency to specialize in the practice of law, but the man who is a general practitioner first, is the one who succeeds best." He spoke of the necessity of a lawyer informing himself in various lines of business in order to be able to cope with cases which may arise.
The overture, composed by Dean Skilton of the Fine Art school and played by the orchestra, was an enjoyable feature of the program. The dedi-

catory hymn, written by Professor Carruth, was very appropriate and well received. The exercises in the chapel were closed with Meyerbeer's "Coronation March," by the University orchestra.
At the conclusion of the "March," the Chancellor stated that the audience should remain seated until the Board of Regents, the Law Professors, and the Law School and visitors had passed out and after them every one should move over to the steps of the Law Building. The
Chancellor, Judge Green and the Board of Regents stood upon the steps of the new hall between the massive columns. Hon. Thomas M. Potter on behalf of the Board of Regents delivered the keys and named the building "Green Hall" in honor of Dean James Green. As the speaker handed over the keys to the Chancellor and turned toward the venerable Judge, naming the building in his honor, "Uncle Jimmy" was deeply moved. Chancellor Strong answered on behalf of the University. On behalf of the Law School, a final response was made by Judge Green who said: "My command of the English language will not permit me to express my appreciation of the honor here given me." In conclusion he said that if permitted, he would spend his remaining years in the upbuilding and the betterment of the Law School of the University of Kansas.
Law Alumni Banquet.
The Law banquet was held last night at the New Eldridge. Covers for one-hundred and fifty were laid. James Challis of Atchison was toastmaster. Judge Green, Chancellor Strong, and Chief Justice Johnson were among those that responded to toasts. At the close of the meeting it was voted unanimously to request the regents to carve the name of "Green Hall" on the southeast cornerstone of the new building.

GREEN HALL
BEATEN IN MUD
K. U. BACK IN OLD TIME FORM.
HEAVY FIELD--SCORE 21 TO 0.
Lehman of Washington Played Spectacular Game--Angney Did Fine Tackling.
There was no glory in football today. "Give them the mud! give them the mud! in the rain! in the rain!" a shivering good natured crowd improvised today while watching the grimy, hardly recognizable Varsity slide down the field for 21 points. K. U. played Washington off her feet in the first few minutes and went over for a touchdown, but no goal. It was a punting match from then until the end of the half with little advantage either way.
It was a bad day for the heavy men Donald and Brunner could hardly get under way but when they did, they took both teams on a sliding match. Reed played a phenomenal game on defensive work in the second half. The light back field Angney and Waring were in their element today and without their gains K. U. could never have scored.
Lehman, left half of the St. Louisans was a wonder, making terrific line plunges and skirting the end for long gains.
First half: Pooler kicked off 55 yards to Washington, who defended the west goal. Lehman, the big halfback, punted and Angney returned it to the 30-yard line. Pooler tried a quarter-back kick and Waring got the ball after a long slide. Donald was called back and went over for the first touchdown. On the kick out Angney made a falr catch, but Pooler failed at goal. Until the end of the half it was a punting match. Lehman made his long run during the latter part, only to be upset by Angney. Score: Kansas 5, Washington 0.
Second half: Washington kicked off to Angney, who made a 25-yard return. In a series of line plunges, in which Waring was the hero, Donald made the next touchdown. Pooler missed goal. For ten minutes the two captains engaged in a punting match, but at last one of Lehman's punts went in a lateral direction instead of straight forward, and Milton, the little center, picked up the ball and made the third touchdown. Pooler kicked goal. Score 16 to 0.
At this stage of the game, several new men got a chance to soil their suits. Pooler made a quarter back kick and White fell on the ball back of the line and made the fourth touchdewn. Pooler failed at goal. Score 21 to 0.
Missouri was beaten today by Purdue by a score of 24 to 0.
