Seven Chancellors Had Offices in Fraser Hal
Seven of the eight chancellors of the University had their offices in Fraser hall. Around an old walnut table the regents of the University have gathered here. This same old table now stands in the alumni office. Its green plush cover has been exchanged for a less ornamental one of brown oilcloth, but its beautifully carved logs and its beautifully covered conceal its aky years of service offered.
Memories of Notable Educators Cling to Its Class Rooms
Marian Fegan, c'unel., was a dinner guest at the Sigma Chi house last night.
Chancellors who have had their offices in this building are John Fraser, Rev. James Oliver, Rev. J. A. Lippinwott, W. C. Spangler, Francis Huntington Snow, Frank Strong, and Ernest Hirn Lindley, who spent the first four years of his chancellorship in Fraser.
There have been many famous faculty members who have taught in Fraser. One of the greatest among these is William Herbert Carruth, the graduate from University of Guelph in German. James Ume Cannife who taught in this building for 14 years was later president of the universities of Nebraska and Ohio. In the classroom where he taught there it is a browning cloud. He bears the tablet bears this inscription. "This Tablet in his memory is placed by admiring friends and students."
Milks W. Sterling of the presen faculty, holds one of the longest and best records of service with 50 years spent in Fraser.
Other will be known faculty members have been Frank Blackmar, A. M. Wilcox, "Uncle Jimmy," Green, Bryan Deane, and Miller, one time dean of the college.
Classes First Conducted in Fraser 60 Years Ago
(Continued from page 1)
for teaching most of the classes of the University.
All Subjects Taught
It contained the offices of the president of the Regina College faculty room. A library and study room were also included in the building.
The subjects taught in Praser at the time were chemistry, physics, maths, astronomy, and mechanics and English were also taught in the new building. Then there was surveying, engineering, and workshops; natural history, geology, botany, and zoology; political and political and drawing.
Today, instead of furnishing a home for the entire university, Fearra hall shelters; the School of Education; the departments of Latin, Greek, French, Italian, German, English, and Home Economics, together with the Extension division, the Wilcox Classical Museum and several departmental clubs.
According to the account as Mr. Sterling had got it for the occurrence dated back to the spring of 1873, five years before he came to the University, the solomun dignity of the Commencement exercises was interrupted by the lowering of a skeleton in the University's chapel, opening in the capel of the Chapel. The culpits were never detected. "Of course, one laughed," was Mr. Sterling's comment upon this incident"; but the prank was looked upon as plain rowdyism.
Pranks Began Early
Prof. M. W. Sterling, who has been in the University of Kansas since 1878, four years as a student and 50 years as a member of the faculty, related in an interview the account of a prank perpetrated by the students during the first Commencement held in Fraser hall.
Topeka, Dec. 2.—(Special)—Frank P. McLennan, author and publisher of the Topeka State Journal, as a University of Kansas student of 1872, remembers well the completion and occupancy of her university building on the University campus.

Publisher of Topeka State Journal Sophomore When Fraser Opened
STUDENT HERE 80 YEARS AGO MARTIN INSULL HEARING IS
Back in 1875, as the reward for toiling up Mount Ouread to daily classes for the customary four years, Mr. MacLennan received his degree of bachelor of science. His master's degree, in science, was received in 1878, also at
From 1877 to 1880 he served on the staff of the Emporia Daily News. For the next five years he was part owner of the News, and since October 30, 1885, has been owner and publisher of The Topeka State Journal.
In 1910 and 1911 he was vice president of the Associated Press; he has been an Associated Press director since 1919. He was president and one of the organizers of the Kansas Reserve State Bank, Toneka.
He is a member of Beta Theta P fraternity.
Janitor Appointment in Old Fraser Hall Once Equal to Scholarship
Frank McLeann, 73, now published of Topeka State Journal, receives his sophomore college days in a course offered by the University of Kansas.
Back in the 70's and 80's, junior work in Fraser hall was done by students of the University. Each year two students were elected by the Board of Trustees for the position of Fraser hall. To be elected as juror of Fraser hall was quite as great an honor then as being awarded a scholarship is today, for it meant that the favored students were free from school so long as they held their positions.
When a student was elected to the position of janitor, he was officially notified by the chancellor of his election. Students who filled their office satisfactorily were very often re-elected for a second year.
Professor Sterling of the Latin and Greek department, and the late Erasmus Haworth, former head of the geology department of the University, held positions together as junitors of Fraser Hall in the University to be elected to the position preceding year, and Mr. Sterling was re-elected for the following year.
Mr. Haworth and Mr. Sterling were together during 87-88 at Johns Hopkins University. The University had a strong year in his leave to study in the East.

Early Equipment Limited
Department of Astronomy Had Superior Apparatus for Classes
An interesting aspect of the University in 1872, and probably the most contrasting one, was the apparatus used by the students in research. An early catalogue relates that the chemical department was very "well equipped" with laboratory stands and with the apparatus and chemicals requisite for a complete course of laboratory practice in analytical chemistry.
Barrie, Ont, Dec. 2.—(UIP) A third postponement was granted today in the hearing to extradite Martin J. Insull, former utilities migrate, to face charges of grand larceny and embezzlement.
The department of astronomy was provided with a Green's Standard Barometer and Thermometers to measure the astonomical transit with illuminating lamps, for

the use of students in observatory practice. The department was asked to develop a technique the Sextant an artificial horizon, and a Negus binochrometer, for use in field practice in astronomy. These instruments were designed in discussions of any University at that time.
Feb. 7 was set as the new date for the hearing. The postponement was granted by Simeon County Judge Dudley Holmes after the attorneys for Cook county, Illinois, said they were not ready to proceed.
