E. H. Lindley
The membership of Sachem is limited to twenty-five men of the senior class, who have demonstrated their qualities of leadership in activities and in other ways at the University of Kansas. Although the maximum membership is twenty-five, the full number is rarely elected.
Two Elections
Sachem holds two elections each year one in the spring of the year, short the second semester end, at which time outstanding men of the junior class are chosen for membership the following year; the other in the fall for the election of men then seniors.
The method of election to which Chancellor Lindley referred in his announcement is the system of asking faculty members to aid in the choice of new men. The faculty members and the student members hold separate elections, each with a certain number declared elected; and those on one list and not on the other are brought up again in joint session.
Sachems Chosen Last Year
The following men are the Sachems now enrolled at K. U., who were elected last spring or previously: Howard Firebaugh, Chester Short, Melvin Griffin, Ben Hibbs, John Walf Lloyd Ruppenthal, Charley Black Milton Cummings, Jennifer James Rising, Louis Brothers Stanley Learned, and Floyd Dillen back.
Initiation for the new men will
held at the Acacia house, at 10 p.
m. next Wednesday.

When the designs are completed for the municipal building, they will be sent to a number of cities in Kansai to design and develop the which appeal to the city officials may be made use of. It is thought that the department can be of more direct service to the people of the state in their local area by addressing problems which have been used.

"Joseph Conrad Not Pessimistic", Says Miss Esther Wilson
Conrad's True Eye Sees Reality of Romance and Poetry of Commonplace
"Joseph Conrad is a pessimist,
he is a realist," said Miss Esther Wilson, assistant professor of English, in the freshman contemporary English lecture in Fraser hall Thursday afternoon.
"His hero is the man who conquers his fate. That is the inspiring theme pervading all his works, and that with worldly satisfaction, but something more precious to Conrad, 'a spiritual tranquility Wilson in characterizing Conrad.
"In spite of the fact that Conrad's stories are not congenial to youth are not cheerful, as often his characters are not happily married at the close of the book, sixteen manuscripts claimed a record sale of $110,988 at the Anderson Galleries in York," according to Miss Wilson.
"My greatest satisfaction in reading Conrad is in the fact that I have come to know a great man and master craftsman. He is so charming, so simple, so frailty human. Joseph Conrad's true eye sees the reality of romance and the poetry of the commonplace," said Miss Wilson.
Christmas Seal Sales Big
Miss Wilson concluded by saying, "I like to read Joseph Conrad because he extends the horizon of my mental life by sharing with me his rare and diversified experience. He takes me on a journey from people to people and to scenes that will never be my good or bad fortune to meet in the course of my life."

Work on Grounds Continues
Partitions Too Low to Hide Architects
Work on Grounds Continues
Improvement of the grounds around the Administration building is being undertaken. At present we are filling the holes between the east end of the building and the roadway which leads around to the front. The dirt for this is being dug off the hill on the north side. The drive is almost completed, except leveling 1/4.
The partition was erected by three senior students in order that they might have a little more privacy when working on a design for a large country house. But the partition as only about five and one-half square and the simplest architects gained more publicity than privacy.
