THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
SEVERAL RARE BOOKS RECEIVED AT LIBRARY
Old Volumes a Gift From a Friend of the University
ALEX. DEVINE THE DONOR
Oldest Volume Was Printed in London in
Alexander Irvine, who spoke at conventation here last year at the invitation of the Chancellor, has recently sent to the University library a number of old and valuable books from London.
These are first installments of little things I would like to do for K, U," says Mr. Irvine in a personal message from the officer, "just for the joy of doing them."
"Tales of a Traveler," by Geoffrey Crayon, is one of the new and interesting arrivals. It was printed in London in 1824 by the John Murray Co., and is a collection of sprightly adventures.
A first edition of the Walter Scott poem, "Don Roderick," which was printed in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1811 by the James Ballantyne Co. has also been the book that was bound by "Bird-sail and Son, Northpton."
Another arrival is Scott's "Rokeby a Poem." It was printed and bound by the same companies, and is like a first edition. It first came out on
The prize contribution of the new books is a volume printed in the year 1690. It is "Locke, of the Understanding, an Essay Concerning Humane Understanding." As indicated, it was written by John Locke. The book is in an excerpt that is "printed for The Book and sold by Edw. Mory at the Sign of the Three Bibles in St. Paul's Churchward."
Recently received, also, is one of seventy reproductions of the celebrated "Codice Triulizano" which has been published under the supervision of the Dante Society of Italy. The Indians of the United States are presenting to the chief American universities one of these reproductions in commemoration of the 600th anniversary of the death of Dante.
The Codice Trivulziano is the original manuscript of the Divine Comedy, transcribed in 1357, sixteen years after the death of Dante. It has been in possession for over three centuries, and the past ten centuries there is not a line at Dante's handwriting in existence, not even his autograph.
The original manuscript is in a wonderful state of preservation. The illumination in design and color, and the semi-Gothic letters in which it is written makes it famous.
The present work is reproduced in exact fine-simile, with all its colors and various shades, even to the texture of the parchment, by means of呼洛卓谱 art, or color-photography. Our two 2016 copies have been published for the entire world, the publisher states that owing to technical difficulties this famous manuscript cannot be reproduced in the future.

PLASTER REPLICAS IN DYCHE
Rare Ceremonial Stones Added to Indian Relic Collection
Two plaster replicas of rare Indian ceremonial stones were added to the collection of Indian relics at Dyche Museum last week. The casts, together with three typified Indian arrowheads, were the gift of Every W. Thurston, secretary of Indiana Archaeological Department. Mr. Thurston was appointed the principal museums of the country, arranging for an exotic material.
A smooth stone that had been picked up your Lawrence bearing carved lagged lines which probably depict lighting was given Mr. Thursbury to study. Models are being made of it in Indiana which will be sent to the Southwest Museum at Los Angeles to the Smithsonian Institute at Washington and to the Ohio State Museum.
It is thought that the deciphering of the stone's message will lead to a more thorough knowledge of the ceremonial buildings of the Indian part of this country.
The School of Law started the new semester by holding classes Tuesday, thus obtaining a lead of one day over the other Schools. Classes began at 8:30 o'clock Tuesday and were held here in the School of Law. Encounters in the School of Law took place last week and also on Monday of this week.
Dr. William L. Burdick, of the School of Law, gave an address in Fort Scott Monday before the Men's Club. The subject of his address was "Lincoln as a Lawyer."
On With The Dance!
My Partner's A Lady
Did you ever have your date breaken at the last minute? If so here's a solution that beats all heretofore. Saturday night a couple came up to the Varsity Dance and paid a dollar admission like everyone else, except those members of the student council who get in touch with the girls they attended as all the once before and those after them no one noticed anything queer.
Then here's where an innocent bystander took occasion to note the pair; unlike others the girl instead of going into the girls' dressing room handed her sport coat to her husband and there was nothing annual in the fact that the sport coat was put in the men's check room but the fact that here was a girl sure enough of her appearance not to slip into the dressing room to take the shirt from her mother or put a little color to her hair.
Thus attracted, the bystander noticed that the girl had unusually large arms, but then there was what appeared to be bobbed hair, very short bobbled hair protruding from under the forehead of the girl. Also as the bystander took in the look, he discovered that a long black dress and patent leather pumps were the most outstanding features.
There was nothing in the couple's dancing that would indicate that this was such a unique couple, in fact their dancing was better than that of the ordinary couple. But those arms! They stood out like a new moon in a fog and in fact gave the whole affair away. So while the other couples is the hall shouted "on the dance" and the girls had seen the western Kansas harvest seemed to enjoy the dance as much as any other on the floor.
Wake up K. U. dancers and see at least part of the many things that others in your midst enjoy at your expense. You also unlucky boys that have your dates broken or can't succeed in getting a date, dress your buddy as a coed and go the old route, but never let that same buddy wear a short sleeve shirt because you are for two students will be wide awake to detect the fact that both parties of the couple usually appear in public as men.

COMMITTEE DISCUSSES FOOD STANDARDIZATION
Chemists Met in Washington and Agreed on Food Standards
Dean L. E. Sayre returned Thursday from a trip to Washington where he met with the Committee on Definition and Standards. The session of one week was spent in discussing the standard for bread, which is only the common whole almond bread, but also brown bread, raisin bread, and milk bread.
The collaborating chemists, consisting of nine men from different parts of the United States compose the Committee on Definitions and Standards. Dean Sayre is one of these chemists.
For the standardization of these various products there was required the experience in the analysis of the different chemists of the United States to be tabulated, and the methods used by the best representative bread bakers of he country had to be taken into consideration. The common use of a standard for various breads mentioned and the standards will be published in a short time by the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
The remaining part of the week was occupied in hearings of manufacturers of chocolate and cocoa products. This hearing occupied a whole hour, and involved the findings of the various chemical laboratories connected with the department of agriculture, a final standard for chocolate and cocoa products will be decided upon. This final standard will be introduced in connection with the old standards.
"Suiting You"
Among the other questions before the committee for discussion was that of vinegar. Whether certain products, as vinegar made from apple parings and the like should be permitted to be called cider vinegar or even apple vinegar. The main point to be considered is the size of the public would be deceived if a vinegar made from apple parrings, cores, etc., should be placed on the same plane as that made from apple juice or cider.
New Computing Machine Here
A new electric computing machine has been purchased for the department of astronomy. The machine adds and multiplies large numbers which means a saving of time for the operator. "About a mile of paper has been used in the short time that we have had the machine," said Professor Alter.

Another Sad Event In A University Day
She came to the University yesterday from a happy Oklahoma home where her throaty laughter and livey chatter had made the household a place of cheer and joy, loving caresses that the folks at home bid her good-bye.
Woman-like, she wore her gayet dress to hide the ache in her heart. The brilliant green of her dress and the flaring scarlet of her toque were the envy of all her sisters here yesterday.
But alas! The restless little body is stilled now; no more will those illusory eyes look upon the faces of the loved ones at home.
For today at Dyche Museum they're stuffing "Polly," someone's pet parrot.
