After one or two pre-mem- meetings, an organization meeting was held in the Midland hotel, Kana- sia City, Mo., Jan. 12, 1907. It was a lecture given by Prof. A. T. Walker, and W. C. Lans- dison of the University of Kansas; Mark Cutlin of the University of Iowa, Clark W. Hetherington and Dr. W. J. Monilaw, University of Missouri, Capt. John G. Workheli- ton, Capt. William W. Workheli- ton, and Prof. C. M. Woodward, Was- hington University, St. Louis. Rules of the Big Ten, then a new organization, were discussed at length, and adopted for reference to the several Missouri valley schools. Four weeks later, Feb. 16, 1903, made president; Mark Cattin secretary, and the eligibility and organization rules adopted. Of the original organizers of the Missouri Valley Conference, only two of the Kansas representatives are now connected with schools of this region. Dr. Naismith and Professor Walker are still on the faculty of the University of Kansas, W. C. Larsdon, who was then Kansas manager of athletics, is now living at Ft. Scott. Mark Cattin was football coach at the University of Iowa from 1906 through 1908, and information from Iowa is that it is believed he was director of athletics at the time. No record of that exists, however, and his present whereabouts are unknown. Clark Hetherington of Missouri is now directing physical education at Stanford University. No information is available here as to Dr. Monliow, who at the time he represented Missouri in the conference Stanford University. No informa- Captain Workheizer was commandant of the student military organization at Nebraska in 1807, and a member of the athletic board. Information from Lincoln is that Captain Workheizer served in the Spanish-American war, and that he died a few years ago. A son was graduated from West Point two years ago. Dr. Woodward was a member of the Washington University staff from 1865 to 1913, as professor of mathematics and later as dean of mathematics at the university, no position with the athletic department. His death occurred in 1914. First members of the Missouri Valley conference, therefore, were Washington University, and the state universities of Kansas, Missouri, and Iowa. They were playing football and they are today, except that limited amounts were permitted for training tables. The next year, Jan. 11, 1908, the conference decided greater membership was desirable and accordingly Kansas was directed to invite Colorado and Oklahoma; Iowa and Missouri to invite Drake University and Iowa State; and Iowa to recruit a cohesive brake to complete its membership. The seven-member conference continued for three years, but at the meeting of March 25, 1911, in Des Moines, Prof. A. G. Smith presented the resignation of the University of Iowa. He pointed out that Iowa had been a member of the Intercylateral Conference (Big Ten) since 1899, and had formed in forming the new Missouri Valley By the meeting of March 15 follow ing, Iowa State and Drake were admitted to the conference, and Nebraska did complete its membership. Colorado did not accept at that time. GRAPHIC HISTORY OF THE BIG SIX CONFERENCE Iowa U. ... 1907 ----------------- 1911 Withdrawn ----------------- 1928 Conference Divided Kansas U. ...

Multiplicity of athletic contests made it desirable to withdraw from one organization or the other, and since there seemed natural reasons for remaining with the Big Ten, Iowa accordingly dropped out of the Missouri Valley conference.

"We Telegraph Flowers Anywhere" Flower Fone 820 WARD'S Flowers "Flowers of Distinction" THE GREAT OPEN SPACES We are headed for the open . . . Open spaces where fresh air and sunshine put roses in our cheeks. Open diplomacy that substitutes frankness for secret scheming and negotiation. Open opportunities, open doors in business ... And modern business in general conducted in an honest and open manner. No force has been as powerful as advertising, in bringing American business into the open. A manufacturer who advertises, issues an open challenge to every competitor to produce better goods if he can. He invites the public to compare his article with all others. He makes definite claims for his product over his own signature. And he knows the vital importance of keeping his promises. Advertising tells you where you can get the greatest value for your money. When you buy an advertised article, you know it is dependable. An unknown product means nothing. Advertising prohibits the worthless, and promotes the good. The advertisements in the Daily Kansan are the daily record of business progress, the report to you of the manufacturers and merchants who serve you. It will pay you to read them.
