Raymond Nichols Is Student Chosen for Honor Award
Reverend E. Stanley Jone Discusses Christianity in Application to India
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, MAY 10, 1928
SIX PAGES
The last University concoction of the school year this morning was in part a tribute to those students of this institution who by their combination of qualities of character and experience as leaders of their student bodies,
Pays Tribute to Harwi
Preceeding the main address of the morning by Rev. E. Stanley Jones, the honors for 1928 were announced. In commenting on them Chancellor Danielson indulged in recognition of scholarship or high character alone but for a combination of the qualities that have made contributions to the University.
The honor award was presented to Raymond Nichols, A. B. 27. In the selection of Nichols, the award committee felt that he was one of the most outstanding students. He has taken prominent part in student publications of the HIL, is a member of the university societies and is a Phi Beta Kappa.
As a tribute to Alfred Harwu, killed in last night's airplane accident, the audience stood in silent commemoration.
Talks on Mahatma Ghandi
E. Stanley Jones, of India, one of the most outstanding speakers at the Methodist Conference meeting in Kansas City was introduced to the University convention audience as a preacher and pastor for the Lord Jesus Christ.
Hard to Interpret India
He is filling that position in a manner most unusual and his sincerity and good works were made known by his address this morning. His chief subject was Mahatma Gandhi, India's Nobel noblest son, according to Mr. Jones.
"It is not easy to interpret another land to one's people," he said, and it illustrate the full meaning of that statement he mentioned that he went to India with everything to teach and learn. He has saxed these 20 years to learn.
One of the chief questions asked of the Church in India is this, "Would it make any difference to Ghandi if he became a Christian?" and the answer was "Would it make any difference to outcasts?" Reverend Jones said that Christianity has made a difference to outcasts. He has seen their lives changed entirely—through faith they have received vision of a newer man.
Ghana Influenced by Christ

Christ Powerful in India
Christ Powerful in India
Christ Jones said that the Gandhi base is he carrying on a sincerely struggle with himself to see. He feels that the true religion will come through heart, in a realism that is serious and he says that his heart is open. The fact that he has made the world's policy of faith his own, is an indication that he is a radical and the powerful religion of that country.
The house can't give up follower
Ghani has been deeply influenced by Christ. He has said, "I am a Hindu with a strong learning to the Sermon on the Place of God and religion. He believes in the realism of religion but he cannot be certain to convert. In my opinion I should not believe, I must see God not by the intellectual method. My heart must be touched. I have not seen him, I do not know his words, the world’s faith in him my own."
In closing, Reverent Jones said "You can go to the highest heights you can go as far as you can go, but there is the need of one more thing The Christian life serves as the completeness. Christianity is life it

Since distance lends enchantment, why do men build bridges and railroads and highways? Perhaps it is an old legend, in which there is. If it will bear investigation, however, it must have some foundation.

Huge Bridge Being Built
New Hudson River Span Will Be Largest in World
New York, NY, 10—When the new Haitian river bridge, connecting FFH Washington to New Orleans in New Jersey, is opened to traffic, it will with joy far the largest bridge in the world.
(United Press)
That distinction now is held by the Quebec cantilever bridge, with a main span of 1800 feet. The largest existing suspension bridge is that between Philadelphia and Camden, over the Hudson River, which has a main span of 1,750 feet.
The new bridge, also of suspension pce, practically doubles these figures with a span of 3500 feet, between its top and bottom it will have total length f 4900 ft.
Each of the towers will be 650 feet high—nearly as tall as the Woolworth building—resting on solid rock hewn from a thick layer of 80,000 pounds of structural steel, enclosed in reinforced concrete masonry, and will measure 40 feet by 160 feet at their top—larger enough to surround the Washington Monument.
The new bridge will be the costliest as well as the largest. When completed, it will represent an expenditure of about $60,000,000 of this total will be spent before the bridge is opened. By 1950, it is estimated the annual traffic on the bridge is about 38,500,000 passengers, 1,000,000 buses, and 3,000,000 pedestrians.

All three were rushed to local hospitals, Harwi and Maxwell to the Simmons, and Hardman to the Lawrence Memorial. They were given emergency treatment and physicians an offer to relieve their suffering.
Special Treatment Futile
Dr. Clarence B. Francisco, a specialist from Kansas City, Md., made an emergency trip to Lawrence to treat Harwi, and at midnight was hopeful when he found the youth's injuries were not as serious as the first one. He said it was able to prolong life much longer and Harwi died at 2:15 a.m.

Early in the afternoon, Maxwell was coming back well would have a crash if he continued to make "Roating" landings.

The "Air King" plane was a comparatively new one, having had only 40 miles of flight training and learned definitely if Maxwell was a licensed pilot, but it is believed that the plane's performance was commercial license. The plane was an approved model, but was not licensed for civilian use.
Souvenir hunters arrived the plane soon after the crash and parts estimated at a value of $700 were taken. What was left of the frame was brought this morning to the campus by members of the K, U. Aero Club. A steady stream of cars visited the plane until an early hour this morning.
Maxwell has been flying for about three years and had received his training at Pierce Flying Field, D.C. Larson (Flying Field, D.C.) and Wasson of Kansas City, Mo.
