THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
PAGE 3B
First K. U. Band,
Formed in 1907,
Had 24 Members
Organization Much Better
This Year Than Ever
Before, Director
Believes
The University of Kansas band under the direction of J. C. McCainer now has a membership of 36.
This band, which in 1907 numbered 24 pieces, at the time when Mr. McCanes took charge, has steadily grown and owes its present success to the tireless effort of its leader.
Little Equipment First Year
In Mr. McCann's first year here he worked in construction and forms, and only about $70 with which to purchase those necessities. Sta
depts and merchants of the town however, bought enough uniforms to supply the land and work was begun in earnest. Because of the paucular style and color of the uniforms, the town became known as "The Salvation Army Band."
"Maei" K. U. Band Director
In the fall of 1907, the band had increased to 36 pieces, and 12 new uniforms were purchased, "Mae" giving his personal name for most of the
"Mac" Paid for Uniforms
In 1010, "Mac" brought paid and paid for 45 khaki uniforms, waiting two years for reimbursement, and for the first time in the school's history, the tain played for the commencement event.
In 1913, through the generosity of Chancellor Strong and the board of administration, a budget was set aside to help take care of the expenditures of the hand. Since that time the progress of the organization has been rapid and it now ranks with the best college hands in the country.
C concert Band has 58 pieces. This year, the band is divided into two units, one of which wears the blue uniform and the other of which wears the crimson. From these two sections have been recorded by the concert band, it consisting of the older and more experienced musicians.
The band is complete except for such instruments as tympani, bass clarinetis and bassoon, but it is hoped that the band budget may be increased to include the purchase of these instruments.
"Mac" says that this hand meets the standard of quality, and looks very much as though it will excell all former K. U. hands.
School of Religion Has Four Faculty Members
The Kansas School of Religion is one of the pioneer schools of religion in colleges. It was organized six years ago in answer to the demand of students for Biblical instruction.
Religious instruction at the University of Kansas was first started on the voluntary class plan, but as no college credit was given for the work, students would not attend in sufficient numbers after the failure of this plan then, the Kansas School of Religion was incorporated.
The school is an inter-demonstrational one, promoted and financed by eight religious bodies. It has had an consistent growth since its origin. Over 500 students have taken one or more courses and while the school is not a training school, frequently students enroll who expect to do their studies there. The students in the school have become preachers, instructors in missionary training schools, and librarians in religious libraries.
The enrollment in the school varies each year from 125 to 150. The courses offered at present are all Biblical in nature. In regard to this Dean Braden said that they are hoping soon to expand the genius of religious education, since there is great demand for these courses.
The members of the faculty of the School of Religion are: Dean S. B. Braden, A. M., B. D.; Frank S. Arnold, A. M., B. D., D. D.; Charles W. Thomas, B. Ph.; Edwin F. Price, A., B. M., D.
Woman Weight Lifter Claimed by the French
(United Press)
Paris, Oct. 19—France; it is believed, has the heaviest weight lifter in the world. She is Mile Jane de Vesey, just out of her teens. Mile De Vesey can lift a 255-pound arm with one hand. Also with one arm she can lift and hold at arm's length a weight of eighty pounds. She juggles with thirty pound weights as one might with balloons.
Mike. die Versey has only one complaint. It is that she is the one weight officer of her sex and therefore is not met with a real competitor.
