Geology's Relation To Chemistry Told By Prof. Knappen
Problems Vital to Geologist Outlined at Chemical Society Meeting in K.C.
Prof. R, S. Knapp spoke to the Kansas City Section of the American Chemical Society Wednesday afternoon, November 22, on "The Relation between Chemistry and Geology." He outlined several problems of vital interest to the geologist and pharmacist and placed first in chemistry questioning the geologist, requiring a great amount of chemical knowledge.
A discussion of the various rock formations which interest both the geologist and the chemist, was followed by a discussion of the origin of the earth's crust. Questions concerning iron and aluminum in the various formations
rock which forms of coal are the proper means discovered for handling them as considered, for the application of applied geology and the chemical phase, Professor Knapp referred to the clays of the country which could now be tested by chemical processes rather than by the expensive methods now used, and of the methods of testing coal to be used for making coke.
Great Future for Oil Shale
Great Future for Oil Shale
"Possibilities of the oil shales of the earth be one of the great resources of the country," said Mr. Knappen. "That salt waters are associated with oil fields in commonly known. The chemist can assist the geologist to control the salt waters and in so doing help to control them."
It is a well known fact that fresh, water deposits have no oil bearing minerals. Thus, the water in oil fields is being studied by prominent men in the field of science.
Service for laboratories.
An important task for the chemist is to identify in service directly at the wells, in running determinations on samples taken there rather than having to wait weeks for the return of a sample which has been sent to some chemical laboratory for analysis.
it in useless drilling, also showing the way to control water before it damages the well.
As yet this has been attempted but little. The only place it has been attempted is in California where chemists go directly to the wells with standard solutions to run the various tests. This method saves large sums of money.
The different formations of ore deposits were touched as a field for study in determining why certain ores are found in the different rocks while sometimes in the same rock the formations differ entirely.
The geologist can help the chemist in locating the raw materials, as he is better able to do this work from the training he has had. The chemist usually not being especially fitted in both lines.
An Owl Enrolls at Psychology Office
An owl with a desire for a college education enrolled Wednesday morning in the department of psychology. At least, it went as far as an owl could toward enroling. When the owl came to meet the Owlet, it waited, with his feathery nicely smoothed and his wisest expression prominently displayed.
Questions as to his previous preparation for a college career are met by Mr. Browne in solemn silence, and his attitude is in itself a rebuke to prying people, who wonder and speak so as to whence and how he came.
**W is not known whether the Committee on Advanced Standing has passed upon his credentials, but there is little doubt that he will be allowed to enter a room and perhaps even be permitted to aid in some research. It was noticed that after half-a-day spent in the psychology department, Mr. Owid had no foolish questions and made no irrelevant comments, and received a record few other entrants can equal.**
At the present time Mr. Owl is at home to his friends in the psychology office.

William Allen White had Part In Publishing "Sunflowers," The First Book of K. U. Vers
The recent formation of Rukhadamati, poetry society, has led to an investigation of the poetical work formerly produced on Mount Oread.
A. sleder volume in the library of the Alumni office, entitled "Sunflowers," contains the first compilation of K. U. poetry ever made. The volume was copyrighted in 1888 by William Allen White, a student at K. U. at that time, and T. F. Dorman, '88. Prof. of English, was the "arranger of the poems," and writer of the introduction.
Both members of the faculty and students contributed to the volume. Letters on file at the Alumni office give interesting details about the publishing of this first book of K. U. verse.
"The book of University verse called 'Surflowers' was published, as I recollect, at the commencement season of 1899." William Allen White's letter begins. "I had been three years in the University and Tom Doran and I had been associated on the University Review. I know I was business-minded, but I'm not; although he might have been editor-in-chief. Been thrown together and being young, we had a vision of making some money.
"Mr Doran and I solicited as many subscribers as we could and put the thing on sale. Eventually it paid for itself, although I think it was six months or so in doing it. Colonel Learmand, publisher of the Lawrence Journal, carried the debts because he was fond of Professor Marsh, and also because I was working on his paper and could not escape paying it if I was forced to. I brought more sheets than were bound and later brought out another edition.
"It was a fine adventure, and my first adventure in literature. The business end of writing has always
interested me. Salemashhip appeals to me. As business manager of the old University Review, I made more of a success than I did in the writing end of the paper when I was in the University."
The other youthful editor, with White- Thomas F. Doran, 88—answering the question as to how the book came into existence, writes:
Among the students of that day who contributed to the volume were Mary Alice Markley and Rawson Bennett. Among other contributors were Arthur Graves Canfield, David Robinson, James A Wickersham, and James Cotter. Short Story was also instrumental in the publishing of "Sunflowers."
"Songs from the Hill," published about 1910 or 1911—the volume is absolutely dateless—by "a certain group of young people connected with the University," more specifically, Harry Kemp, an undergraduate, John P. Shea, *10*, Adela Pepper Shea, *12*, Anna R. Manley, *12*, Gale Gossew, *12* (now Mrs. Roy D. Dietrich), and Willard Mattle, *09*, g'11, is the second attempt at a K. U. anthropology, and the last to date.
"The simple answer is that as boys William Allen White and myself were lovers of poetry and the thought that many, verses written by University people were worthy of preservation prompted the idea of compiling them in a small volume. Mr. White and I were well versed in the diction, which, for two inexperienced college boys, was quite a financial undertaking, and we had great difficulty in paying the bills; but I think the sale of the book finally paid the printer. The reward of having preserved some of these poems is a sufficient compensation to me, and I wish that someone with more experience with how undertake the composing of two texts and enlarged edition of "Snowflakes."
