Foreign Student 'Christmas Tree' Is Thing of Past
Sale of Candles Provided Fund That Earned Gratitude for Kansas
CHEST HELD BIG FUND
A "Christmas Tree Tradition" started at the University of Kansas in 1921 as a means of raising funds for aid of needy foreign students, was interrupted by the early dismissal for the holidays in 1928; turned into a means of providing such campus loan funds in 1920, and disappeared as a "tradition" in 1930.
Starting twelve years ago, and continuing for many years, Christmas candies were sold before the dismissal of school for the holiday season. A number of students were even to the cause of foreign relief at a special ceremony, around a decorated tree, in front of Bluke hall. Foreign students enrolled in the University and those living in it have been offered these measures, promoted for the purpose of aiding international students.
Custom Draws Recognition
For this unusual custom the University of Kansas acquired international recognition by publishing a read as 1925, a conversation speaker an extract from a book entitled "The Rebuilding of Europe," which described to the whole world the Christmas tradition of the University. It read as follows:
Scence A frosty, starlit night in the Middle West of America. A crowd of white-robed men and women singling around the campus of the University of Kansas. Under the pine tree the Altar of Friendship stands, as yet unuled. The campus is surrounded by dines shine, too, in thousands of windows in the little Varsity City. They are all Friendship candies, sold by the Kansas students for foreign students.
Picture Symbolizes Tradition
The great mansion, name when the Chancellor of the University in accomodation raised and lights the Friendship candles on the altar. The crowd moves off to serenade the windows where the chapel is held for a ceremonial ceremony has become the Christmas tradition at K U; its beautiful shines across ocean as well as campus.
An interesting and dynamic moment of the tradition is a picture presented to the University of Kansas by Conrad Hoffman, former Y. M. C. A. secretary at the University and a representative for student relief in Europe. He spoke at the European student poring over his books in a dimly lit, poorly furnished garret room. In his mind's eye is the vision of a somewhat distorted map of the United States with a flaming red heart over the section where the University once treasured. Below the map, a Christmas tree, albeit with candies, may be seen.
The picture was presented to display the sentiment of countless European students toward the University and to show an appreciation of the work which they did and accomplished. The picture is in the office of Chancellor Lindery in the Office of Chancellor Lindery.
Kibbey Etchings on Display

Maddox Lectures on College Theory to Kayhawk Club
Asks Listeners to Answer
His Question, 'Just
Why Are We in
College?'
MET AT OPEN FORUM
The meeting was a combined social hour and open forum, held at 7:30 last night in the men's lounge of the Memorial Union. Professor Maddox warned his hearsen against too much specialization without acquiring a general type of education, a process which he calls "basic learning mind". He advised that students should certainly not begin to specialize during the first two years of college.
"Just why are we here in college, after all?" To specialize in one line, thus fitting ourselves to make money and micro money or to educate ourselves, you would need to derive a little enjoyment from this life of ours?" was the question asked by W. R. Maddox, instructor in political science in the University, at a meeting sponsored by the Kayhawk non-nationalism men on the campus.
College Should Broaden
"In my opinion," he said, "college is the institution for broadening the individual. After he has gained breadth he may attend a professional school to attain depth. A student should touch on many subjects and learn things that will be valuable to him merely in self satisfaction. Later, when he has gained breadth, he would be involved in his be thing in which he is most interested or for which he is best fitted, and delve into it deeply and learn it thoroughly.
"Too many persons have lost the faculty to sit down and enjoy a good book," Mr. Maddox said, "merely because they think they must have experience and joy themselves. A good education will teach these people to utilize their own intellect and common sense to produce pleasure instead of an insatiable desire for action," he said. "But," he cautioned, "you need someone to your nose in these books and miss the enjoyment and satisfaction obtainable from友好聊天和 conversation." The thing Professor Maddox would have the college student is to sit down and enjoy any in any one phase of one's educator which is never completed.
The W. S. G. A. council will meet tonight at 7:300 instead of 7 o'clock in room 5 of the Memorial Union to discuss the open-dance question.
**Warns Against Following Dads**
In the open forum after the address, the professor was asked the question, "Will the man who does not specialize in computer science be a national world?" He answered the question by a second question, "Do employers depend on you to be an expert when you begin a new position, or do they usually allow a period of time to customise yourself to the new situation?"
Professor Maddox warned students against choosing a given profession beheld by a lawyer, and not involved in that profession. If you are a lawyer, he pointed out, "you can make use of the mathematical sign and not determine an angle of contact in an equation."
W.S.G.A. Meeting Time Changed
According to a cable received by D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of F艺 Arts, from his daughter, Evelyn, who is now studying in London, Ernest Browne visited her late sister and lecturer, died recently. Mr. Fowles visited in Lawrence on three occasions at the home of Deen and Mrs. Browne, given lectures at the University twice.
MUSICIAN WHO APPEARED
HERE DIES IN ENGLAND
several other instances wherein knowledge of one subject may be of muc practical value to a man in an entailment; and the more one is everywhere in demand today, an if you would be practical learn more than one thing," Mr. Maddox advised.
On Mia Swarthout's arrival in England she was met by Mr. Fowkes who later introduced her to Mr. Mattson, the former president of many other kindly attendees. Mr. Fowkes had planned to tour the United States again giving lectures, but he was struck the week he was to have visited the University in January.

Friendly Relations Resumed by China and Soviet Russia
Act Regarded in Official Circles as Creating New Menace to Japan
CHIANG DROPS CLAIMS
By Miles Vaughn, A.B.05
Tokyo, Dec. 13.-(UP)-Resumption of diplomatic relations between Soviet Russia and China was regarded in official circles here today as creating a new model for cooperation with China. Count Yuyau Uchida, minister of foreign affairs, was understood to feel that Russia's action would make it unlikely that the Soviet government would grant recognition to the independent government of Manchuuko.
Japan has informally discussed with Moscow several times recently such a treaty. It had been hoped that the Soviet union would recognize the government of Henry Pi-Yu, Chiang Khi-shek, chairman of the supreme military council of the government previously had delayed negotiations for resumption of friendly relations with Russia by his demand that Moscow agree to abandon its communist propaganda in China. With Russian's participation desired by China in the Manchurian conciliation, it was hoped that Russia will give her non-manduca demands.
In as much as Russia has thus far refrained from making a commitment toward Manchuria, the belief was held here that participation of the Soviet union on the Manchurian conciliation commission of the League of Nations would forestall future consideration by Russia. The Russian Federation of Russia have a mutual interest in Manchuria through their joint control of the Chinese Eastern railway.

London, Dec. 13—(UP)—Great Britain notified the United States today that she will make the Dec. 15 debt payment of $0.50,300,000, at the same time reiterated her contention made in Sunday's note that she would like to make a loan and future revised settlement rather than to the existing debt agreement.
