A
Anemometer Records Lowe Records Than Any Year In History by Instrument
The records of the University anemometer for the past year show that Kansas has had less wind than in any other state, and the mountain kept on Mount Oread breaches.
This may be due to several things. The amount of wind may be actually less or the instruments used to measure the wind velocity has not been accurate either because of wear or because the changing skyline of the University has altered the air currents.
The anemometer has always been kept on the top of Fraser Hall, all though the exact position has been changed a little, according to Prof H. P. Cady, who had charge of it before he retired. It is used for physics and astronomy.
As a result of controversy in 1887 when the instrument here measured more than twice as much wind as the instrument of an earlier, a thorough investigation was made.
Measurements Correct
Anemometer on Fraser Hall
These facts were established: the anemometer here never registers too much; it makes close approach to actual velocity in medium and high velocities; it measures strength for winds of small velocity because of height and friction of shaft.
A smaller anemometer was brought and the two were run side by side for a period of three months. The difference in their records was so small as to hardly be considered. In calm weather the smaller instrument was more exact. In August of this year the anemometer was thoroughly cleaned and overhaul, so the records would be more reliable.
Scholarships Are Awarded
Names of Successful Candidates Are Announced
The Committee on Scholarships, which met Wednesday to consider the awarding of scholarships to undergraduates of the University, today announced the names of the successful candidates.
The four W. S. G. A. scholarships are awarded to Ada B Reed, Emily E Tenney, Dora Louk, and Eula Holla, representing the senior, junior, sophomore and freshman classes, respectively.
An additional scholarship from the Lucinda Smith Buchan Memorial Scholarship was awarded to Mattie E. Crumrine. The Max Lowell Brown Memorial Scholarship was awarded to Wayne Holcomb.
Approving the scholarships, announced today, are the signatures of E. Gallo, chairman of the committee, and E. H. Lindley, chancellor.
One hundred and fifty French books have just been received at the library from Champion, Parisian book-seller. They consist chiefly of modern French literature, but are bound in remarkably fine and expensive bindings. They were obtained at an immense reduction in price by purchasing the complete set. The books averaged only about three francs per copy, giving a greater value this amount the insufficient to pay for the binding. The set will be turned over to the use of the department of Romance languages.
Several French Volumes Received From Paris
The Secretary of Public Education of Mexico has sent the library several volumes on Mexican subjects in exchange for the University of Kansas' Scence Bulletin. A system of exchange for this bulletin is maintained with almost every nation in the world in return for which the library receives many valuable volumes from foreign educational institutions.
