LINDLEY GIVEN HONORARY LAW DEGREE IN EAST
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SUNDAY, MAY 13, 1934
'Doctor of Civil Law' Conferred Upon Chancellor by University of Delaware Faculty
ADDRESSES MEETING
Kansan Lauds State Schools in Centennial Celebration Speech
Newark, Del, May 12—(UP)—Dr. E H Lindley, chancellor of the University of Kansas, chief speaker at the University of Delaware's centennial celebration here today likened the state universities to the miners of low-grade ore.
In his address on "The State University and the Democratic Hope," he said:
The honorary degree of Doctor o.
Civil Law was conferred on the Kansai-
stom University in 1958.
"The gold from the Black Hills when minted, is just as fine and just as valuable as that derived from nuggets."
"A few years ago, the president of a great eastern university announced that his institution would train only the leadership of the country," the Chancellor continued. "By rigid entrance examinations they would exclude all a choice few. This is what may be called the aristocratic view of education.
"The state universities sponsor another view, which we may call the democratic view. They must admit on certificate all who come from secondary schools, but they, too, are talent-discovering and career-savings institutions.
Talent in Unskilled Workers "While the studies of Terman and others indicate a less generous distribution of talent among the unskilled workers, yet talent is there, and its release is of vast importance to society."
Chancellor Lindley traced the greater increase in the number of students entering state universities in the center covered by the Delaware University.
"This mighty upward surge of the aspirations of the people is the inevitable expression of the deepest faith of the American people, namely—faith on the generative and regenerative power of education. It was implied in the Declaration of Independence, and early became the glowing heart of the American Tradition of Equality of Opportunity.
"So, when the covered wagons of the pioneers swept past meridian after meridian on their westward trek, settlers stopping to build a community planned not only homes, but church and school
"The first frontier colleges were church colleges. They were inspired by two great motives, the religious and the parental. The church taught the vast importance of the individual life. The parental passion insisted children should have a better chance than did their elders. Religion and parenthood were thus the mother of the arts and sciences.
"The religious and parental motives, however, were not sufficient. Near the turn of the century came the tardy discovery of higher education by the world of commerce and industry. Trade had became a learned profession, for bounsmen were forced to knit to the universities for men and been trained in personnel problems.
"Moreover, the time is at hand when the business enterprise that neglects art will do so at its own risk. The titanic struggle in the automobile field is no longer one of engineers alone, but of artist-designers."
Turning to a comparison of the ideas of ancient times with those of the present, Chancellor Lindley said:
Thinker Apart From Worker
Thinker Apart From Worker "While the Greeks did not originate, their genius did perpetuate the most helpful dualism that has afflicted the modern world," wrote from worker, of leisure from labor, of art from industry, of ideal from actual.
"Such separations may indeed have been necessary in the evolution of primitive social groups. The struggle for life in the face of a hostile environment placed a premium on intelligent leadership. And the success of this leadership led to the development of a favored social class. But it ignored the law that 'the strength of the wolf is the pack.'"
Chancellor Lindley recalled that every great economic depression has been followed by an expansion in public education, and suggested that the next decade will witness another such revision and expansion of public education throughout the civilized country.
Tribute Paid to Late Arthur L. Owen By Colleague in Spanish Department
The following is by Calvert J. Winter of the department of Spanish in tribute to his late colleague, Arthur Leslie Owen.
The passing of Arthur Leslie Owen is an irreparable loss to his colleagues of the department of Spanish and to all those students, present and of former days, who have come under the influence of his personality. Stricken down at the noonday of his manhood, at the very zenith of his intellectual powers, it can well be said of him that "his sun has gone down while it is yet day." It is a blow which leaves us stunned and bewildered, unable to give credence to the fact that he has gone. He is not by any means the staff and graduate students of the department, to offer at this time, some tribute of sorrow and affection to the memory of our departed chief. For this purpose words are inadequate, and the following lines are merely an attempt to voice our feelings.
He was a thorough scholar, one of the leading Hispanists of this country. As a teacher he possessed extraordinary
Business Officers End Meeting With Banquet
Northwestern Method of Housing Fraternities Discussed
With a banquet Friday night climaxing the events of a two-day session, the twenty-fourth annual convention of the Association of University and College Business Officers came to a close.
The dinner was held in the Eldridge hotel, with L. E. Gunderson, finance secretary at the University of Nebraska, acting as toastmaster. A. J. Lobb, associate construction manager, represented Foundation at Rouse Memorial, Minn., was the principal speaker.
During the evening the newly elected officers of the association were introduced. They are Faye E. Smith, secretary of the University of Wyoming president; Charles Kuntz, comptroller of the Ohio University, vice president; and L. E. Gunerson of Lincoln, secretary.
William Bracke, c34, appeared on the program with several impersonations. Raymond A. Wright, alumni of Law School at Columbia University, was accompanied by Mrs. H, W, Hunter.
At the meeting Friday afternoon William A. Dyche, Northwestern University, gave a most interesting talk on "The Policy at northwestern with Reference to Fraternity and sorority Houses."
In the discussion he said, "At Northwestern we have a definite architectural plan, the university leases the houses to the alumni of the fraternity for 99 years, charging 4 per cent interest. The fraternity pays the insurance, but it does not pay the insurance adding it to the lease, but heat is furnished by the school."
"This plan was adopted to stop the extravagance of fraternities in building houses, each one trying to out-build the other. The exterior of the houses are all the same, with the name plate on the door. The interior of the house is built according to the plans submitted by the fraternity," explained Dyche.
In conclusion Mr. Dyche said, "At five of our dormitories we have a counsellor. He lives there as a friend, helping the students to solve their problems, tutors them in their work, and talks to their professors if they need assistance. This has proved very satisfactory so far, and as a result has helped these students to raise their grades."
"If any chapter gets into financial difficulties, they do not immediately lose their house, but are allowed to remain in it for three years, thus giving them time to make up the deficit. This chapter is helped to help away with the mortgages."
Paul Smith, '134, will deliver an address at the Kansas State Bar association meeting Saturday, May 26 in Wichita by virtue of ranking first in scholarship in the class of 1934. His subject will be "The Importance of Motive and Intention in the Law of Tors."
LAW STUDENT TO ADDRESS
BAR ASSOCIATION MEETING
J. M. Challiss, of Atchison who is the president of the Kansas State Bar association, was graduated from the University law school in 1894. Members of the University law school faculty will attend this meeting are Dean Robert M. Davis and Profs. T. E. Atkinson and F. J. Moreau.
gifts. In a high degree he had the power of imparting knowledge to his students. It is true that he demanded of them hard work and scholarship of a high rank, being known in these things as a teacher, a mentor, a friend, a time, he was able to retain the respect and loyalty of his classes, and inspire them to their best efforts.
But another aspect of his personality stands out even more than the intellectual and the artistic. It is in the vaguer and more elusive realm of ideals, honor, duty and high-mindedness that we must look for the best in his character. His relations with the teaching staff of the department were ideal. His loyalty to his teachers and their to him was constant and perfect.
His interests were wide and varied. He was an enthusiastic sportman, and devoted what little leisure he allowed himself to fishing and hunting. He had a deep appreciation of art and music. He had no little skill in sketching and played the violin. He was a keen critic both of art and music.
Two Seniors to Give Recital
He could and did elicit from his colleagues and instructors the best that was in them, and he did this simply by convincing them of his confidence in them and of his firm belief that they would carry out his high ideals of teaching. This attitude is well illustrated by his reply when it was suggested to him that the co-ordination of a number of sections of elementary work might well be attempted by imposing upon the teachers some uniform system of method and technique. In dissenting from this opinion he re-

Former Housemother Die
Former Housesmother Dies
Mrs. Wesley Wilfram, former house-
mother of Phi Kappa fraternity here,
died at Park Ridge, III., Thursday.
The chemistry department of the University recently had an accident very similar to one which occurred in the Swift Packing company laboratories Tuesday afternoon. The accidents coincided within five hours, the solution was delivered to the persons' stances, and both times the persons in the building were forced to flee.
Tuesday morning in Professor Stratton's "baby" organic chemistry class one of the women upset a bottle of bromine as she attempted to pour a small portion for her experiment. The bottle slipped from her hand and the rest of the class was forced to leave the room to escape inhaling fumes of the poisonous gas. The only victim of the accident may be heist on the arm bandaged from wrist to elbow. After inhaling a solution given them by their instructor to counteract the gas, the rest of the women went home.
The bromine which caused the disturbance here and the chlorine used in the Swift Packing company, belong to the same halogen group of substances and both cause serious burns and are very poisonous when inhaled.

JAYHAWKS TRIM
TIGERS IN DUAL
TRACK CONTEST
Kansas Wins Nine Firsts And Gets Tie in Thirty-third Meet With Missouri Team
ONE RECORD BROKEN
Coffman and White Tie at 13 Feet in Pole $ ^{a} $ Vault; Hall Leads Scorers
Columbia, May 12 — (UP) The Kansa Jayhawks defenders the Missouri Tigers in a dual track meet here today, $74\frac{1}{2}$ to $56\frac{1}{2}$.
Clyde Coffman and Bob White, both of Kansas, broke the only record of the afternoon when they cleared 13 feet in the pole vault, to tie for first in the triple jump. The former's old record of 12 ft. $9\%$ in made by Kruseh Lancaster of Missouri in 1926.
Captain Glenn Cunningham of the Kansas team loafed through the mile run in the opening event of the meet against Michigan ahead of Nichols, Missouri, in 4:33.5.
The Kansans won seven firsts and got a tie in the high jump, while the Tigers, taking advantage of the absence of Cunningham in the 880-yard run, were first in five events. Four of the Tiger firsts were on the track; they won both hurdles races and the quarter-mile in addition to the half mile. Lochiner of Missouri won the discus for his team.
Hall High Scorer
Hall, Kansas sprinter, was the individual high scorer of the meet with three firsts, in both the 100 and 220-yard dashes and the broad jump. Cunningham won both the mile and two-mile races to nose out Lochner of Missouri for second place, by a single point. Lochner built up 9 points with a first in the discus, a second in the shot put, and a third in the javelin.
Sween Broad Jump
The Kansas team got away to an early start by winning three of the first four events which included the mile race, the shot put and the 100-yard dash.
Hall, Kansas, neared records in two events. His time of 21.5 in the 220-yard dash was only 2 of a second slower than the record time of 21.3 made by Sickel, also of Kansas, in 1931. His broad jump of 23 ft. 7½ inches incurred the mark of 23 ft. 10% inches which McNehery, Kansas, set in 1927.
In only one event, the broad jump, did either team win all the places. Hall, Coffman, and Pitts, in that order, placed. In the mile relay, an event which doopers had figured might be close, Coach Hargas kept both Hall and Cunningham out of the running, but won the event in 3:25, only slightly more than three seconds slower than the record. Rogers and McNown replaced the Kansas regulars in the event. The summaries:
