Goldsmith Rejects Commercial Work; Prefers Teaching
Official Architect of Union Building Has Had Wide Experience in His Field
Prof. Goldwin Goldsmith, head of the department of architectural engineering, and executive architect Thomas Eckert will give a wide experience as a background for his work. He can lay a strong claim to the profession of journalism through parental lineage, his father's long career in journalism, and New York Herald for twenty years.
McKim, Mead & White was the architectural firm for which Professor Goldsmith first worked. He climbed in the profession from stenographer in the office to work in the drafting room of this company before taking his work in Columbia University from which school he was graduated. After graduation Professor Goldsmith spent one year in European travel and studied in Paris at the Atelier of Heri Duray.
On his return he took up the profession of architecture as partner in the firm of VanVleck & Goldsmith, architects, with offices in New York.

His Student Designs New Library Speaking of the work of some of the students of his department, one of Professor Goldsmith's students who was graduated a few years ago, devised the new library building construction. The design was made in the office of the state architect.
Concerning his recent work, Professor Goldsmith was asked to serve as professional adviser in the competition for the design of the new $1,000,000 county courthouse of Wyndotte county. This is one of the largest contracts to be handled in this part of the country.

The Memorial Stadium was dedicated November 11, 1922, when Kansas was given a dubbing by Nebraska to the tune of 28-0. Two years before the fighting Javahawks held Nebraska to a 20-20 score for one of the most exciting games ever played here.
More than three thousand former students of the University of Kano are entered service in the World War. One hundred twenty-eight gave their lives. It is to them who made this declaration that the Memorial is dedicated.

Amateur Acrobat and Ancient Language Artist Form Firm of Foremost Civic Architects
"For three years after finishing at Michigan University, I taught Latin, so God forgave me, and I recovered," said A. B. Pond, member of the Oathbreakers for obiectives for the Kansas Union ulding, in discussing his work.
His firm, noted over the country or the planning of recreational and social centers, now holds the unique record of having planned or assisted the planning of every memorial building on any island in the world, in f. c., country, according to information from the Memorial Corporation.
I. K. Pond, associated with his mother in business, and also an anumus of Michigan University, established during his college days a
reputation as a tumbler and acrobat,
"Acrobats are the poetry of exercise,
he says, and although 65 years old,
he annually travels back to his Alma Matter, where he turns a series of images into an amusement of homecoming crowds.
Always interested in public buildings, these architects have made a special study of civic buildings, and have correlated studies made in European countries with those in America.
They have served as consulting architects in the work of preparing the plans for the Union building, working with the National Department of architecture at the University of Kansas who was selected as chief architect.
Ten thousand students of the University of Kansas, by their gifts to the Stadium-Union memorial fund have remembered the heroic death; they have shown their appreciation of higher education and that they have shown a fine spirit of loyalty to their Alma Mater.
The Ten Thousand
A noble tradition has been established, one which will irrevocably generate and of generations to come with the history of this tradition.
The "Ten Thousand" have led her way. The goal is not yet reached. Nearly two thousand new students must be reached to carry the campaign to victory. Kansas pride and the solident fighting spirit which has swept our teams to victory and which has shown resplendent in the "Ten Thousand" who have thus far carried forward the Memorial campaign, will surely awaken in the other sons and daughters of the University the passion to win for Kansas and for those who did not return.

Work continued during the school's work with the help of the alumni office the total reached $800,000 and the general field was covered.
Passing Milestones Along Road to Union
The Memorial campaign, with a goal of one million dollars, half of which was to be used for the erection of the Stadium and half for the Union building, started in the spring of 1910 under the direction of Chan-ger Wong. In 1900, was appointed chairman of the Memorial drive committee.
In 1920, with the arrival of Chancellor Lindley, new impetus was given to the project and it was definitely decided to go ahead with the campaign, first on Mt. Oren, then successively in Lawrence, Kansas City, and throughout all parts of Kansas.
of "Ucle Jimmy" to be executed by when Chancellor Lindley addressed a meeting of the K. U. Alumni at Hutchinson on the subject of the Memorial project. Twenty teams were organized to carry on the work and these, with a pop conversation at which the Vallejo team received the interest of the student body. Soliciting continued during March, with much rivalry between the teams until a total amount of $200,000 had been raised.

Extra Convocation Called
Football Rally to be Officia Campaign Starter
A. concession has been called by Chancellor E. H. Lindley for 2:30 p.m., Nov. 19, as a means of showing the appreciation of the student body of the football team, and to serve as a pop rally for the Missouri game. The concession will also serve as a taster for the Memorial Stadium—for the freshmen at the students who have not had the opportunity of subscribing to the fund. The active campaign will start Tuesday morning.
Chancellor Lindsay and Dr. P. C. Allen will speak. The lower floor will be reserved for the freshmen and new students. Upperchair m will attend. All 210 chapel will be dismissed to allow the students to attend.
The members of the R. O. T. C. unit will construct a miniature Union building to be erected in parts, one by one, as the project progresses. Major Edward W.

MEMORIAL FORESHADOWING GREATER MEMORIALS
The photographs of the 128 K. U. dead are preserved in a corridor in Fraser Hall. Upon the completion of the Memorial building, they will be moved to a place of honor in a corridor of the new structure, where they will remain a prominent feature of the building which is raised to the memory of K. U.'s contribution to the cause of democracy in the Great War.
Each Kick Increases Cussing Tom's Quota
Back in 1899 when Tom D. Smith, LL.B. 99, kicked forty-five successive goals after touchdowns and helped K. U. on its ever-victorious way, there was little thought that twenty-five goals could commemorate each goal, assessing himself $10. That is what "Cassing Tom" did. During the first memorial campaign he came to Lawrence to pledge $500 for the Memorial fund—$10 for each goal, it was explained, to which he field the goal which beat Missouri.
"Cussing Tom" is now an attorney in Hiawatha, Kans.

On the ground floor will be situated in a spacious room and several private dining rooms large enough for organization banquets and special meetings. This will allow the tearing down of the temporary roof, which will be removed before the new library, now in the process of erection, is finished.
The first thing to attract the eye as one enters the first floor of the building will be the lobby and concourse. In the lobby will be a long hall with two entrances who sacrificed their lives in the great war. The pictures that are in Fraser hall will also be placed in the lobby. To one side will be the lounge and reading room for students who have a few idle moments to read or to study. On the other side will be parlor for both men and women, office and the office of the manager of the Union will be on this floor.
Offices to Be On Second Floor The second floor of the Union has been so arranged that it will be possible to serve dinners from the other half or to host a small hall. A small hall with provision for a larger one later has been arranged. Also, there will be a number of rooms for campus organizations which are now forced to meet in the same building and do not have quarters of their own.
The third floor of the Union is composed mostly of sleeping rooms for visiting alumni and friends of the University, who will be welcomed by them. The upper ranged that wives of the alumni can also use them. It is from this floor that the best view of the Kaw valley can be obtained. The rooms will look out over the northwest portion of the campus and Stadium field, while on the east one can watch the Kaw river as it winds its way through the valley.
