"An Introduction to Money, Banking, and Corporations," by Paul O'Leary, is the most recent addition of the Alumni office to their collection of books written by University graduates. The author is of the late professor O'Leary. Mr. O'Leary is a professor of economics at Cornell University, is in charge of the principles of economics department, and is author of several other books.
Alumni Office Adds Graduate Book to Collection
O'Leary was graduated from the University in 1922. Henry McCuray, a graduate of 1921, is associated with the college department of the Macmillan, Publishing company and added in the publishing and research book. Both McCuray and O'Leary formerly lived in Lawrence.
Last spring a similar coincidence took place. Walter H. Wellhouse, on the faculty at Ames University, wrote a book on entomology. He sent this book to Allen Wilbert of the Cross Publishing company, and he in turn sent it to Peter Classen, head of the entomology department at Cornell University to attest to its accuracy. All three men were students at the University together, graduating in 1913.

Symphony Gives 'Pop' Concert
A smaller crowd than the quality of the entertainment deserved heard the University Symphony orchestra under the direction of Prof. Karl O Kuersteiner, creating a "pop" concert at the university auditorium last night.
A welcome innovation was the placing of the musicians on the floor of the Auditorium instead of on the stage. The improvement in acoustics effected by this arrangement was appreciated by everyone.
One of the high spots of the program was the Spanish Symphony for violin and orchestra (Lalo). Robert Sedore, fa37, concert master of the orchestra, played the violin solo. Recalled for an encore, he joined Elizabeth Scarle, fa38 to play the Spanish Serenade, diet for violin (Charlidine) in G Minor (Brahms) was another "hit" of the program. Two tone poems. In A Monastery Garden (Ketelbey) and A Japanese Sunset (Deppen) were especially effective.
Other numbers on the program were: Overture and March from "Turandot" (Schiller); Herod Over-Heath; Bunny (Runky-Koraksov).
After the concert Dean D. M. Swarthout of the School of Fine Arts expressed his appreciation of the fine work of the orchestra. "It was one of the best programs out there that has presented in years he said.

Sadie Led A Dog's Life She's Dead
Sadie, 8-year-old dog belonging to Dr. G. W. Stratton, professor of chemistry, is dead.
Sadie was probably the best-known dog on the campus, always faithfully going with her master to the Chemistry building and spending the day there with him. She was known to all the students who have worked in the building, and her unusual faithfulness and love for her master endured her to everyone.
When Dr. Stratton went to Omaha to a chemistry meeting Thursday, Sadie moped about the house for two days. On Saturday she went up to the Chemistry building dolefully hunting her friend. She seemed ill, however, and was taken for a drive and had her picture taken. Then she was taken to the veterinary, who said that Sadie had gall stones and that peritonitis had set in. She was very ill and couldn't live; it was more merciful that she die.
The Chemistry building is not quite the same to the faculty and students, nor to the reporter who covered that beat and saw Sadie every day.
