COPY OF RARE WORK RECENTLY RECEIVED
Italians of United States Send One of 350 Copies Regarding Dante
The University of Kansas has recently received one of the seventy reproductions of the celebrated Codice Trivulziano, published by Ulrico Hoefl, Milan, under the official supervision of the Dante Society of Italy. This copy is presented by the Italianis of the United States, the other copies going to the President of the United States, the chief American Universities, and to the Library of Congress, in commemoration of the six-hundredth anniversary of the death of Dante, September 14, 1921.
a letter to Unichilde Illustrius in 1376, who concocted the original manuscript of the "Divina Commedia" transcribed by Ser Francesco di Ser Dario da Barberino of Florence in 1337, sixteen years after the death of Danite, and it is called Codice Trivulzuo because it was to the Princess Trivulzuo of Milan.
"The above mentioned manuscript of Ser Nardo is without a blemish or any kind. The illumination in design and color and the beautiful semi-Gothic letters in which it is writer would alone make it famous and precious even without it being identified by the Divine Poet. The manuscript could be a work of art, but the Tuscan in which it is engrossed is said to have been copied from an original which came from the poet himself, and hence must form the last court of appeal for all later readings. . .
"Of this priceless manuscript—reproduced in exact facsimile, with all its colors and varying shades, even to the texture of the parchment, by the means of bellochomatic art, or color photography—only 350 copies have been published for the entire world in occasion of the sixth Dante centenary; and the publisher states that,owing to difficulties of a technical nature,this famous manuscript cannot be reproduced in future."
GEOLOGISTS EDIT BULLETIN
Dr. Moore's and Prof. Plummer's Work Issued Soon
Dr. R. C. Moore, head of the department of geology here at K. U. and who is also State Geologist of Kansas, and F. B. Plummer, geologist are authors of an important geological survey bulletin on the "Strategicography of the Petrochemical formations of North Carolina Texas," which is now in the University of Texas Press and will be ready for distribution soon, according to "The Daily Texan."
Mr. Plummer is at present in Bol land where he is engaged in geological work.
The bulletin is a very comprehensive and complete report covering the geology and paleontology of some seventeen counties of North-Central Texas. The geologic map in colors accompanying the report is on a scale of one inch for every four miles and is probably the most detailed map yet, issued on any Texas area. The publication will contain 228 quarter pages, twenty-seven plates and eighteen figures.
Students Help Carry Jewell School Bonds
The school election for the voting of Bonds for an $80,000 rural high school building at Jewell, Kan., carried by 119 votes according to University records who travel two states in order to cast their votes for a new building.
The students who attended the election claim that they were well repaid for their loss of sleep as the little town of Jewell had not seen so much excitement since the Memorial Hall proposition was written. That place has been estimated that there were 1,023 voters in the district, but 1,043 votes were cast.
Many other people went long distances to aid in securing the school building. The majority of these were teachers, students and others who realized the need of schools. One of the committees for代表大会 was building a W. C. Palmer, former editor of the Jewell County Republican, who spoke at the University to the students in the department of journalism a few years ago.
Columbia Will Have Stadium
Columbia University is to have a new stadium. Just twenty-four hours before the option on the proposition expired an annonymous dupe gave the purchase. It is located on upper Broadway. The University of Detroit will also erect a stadium.

Seek to Popularize Science Among People
Prof. B. M. Allen, of the department of zoology, said in an interview that a great time is being done at the present time to popularize science. Many magazines of a semi-scientific nature are in existence which put the facts of science into the language of the people. Besides, there has been more scientific matter published in newspapers recently than ever before. Professor Allen reports that the students of his department at work on interesting experi-ments resulted in the results of which will be published when completed. This will probably be near the end of the semester.
JAYHAWKER ISSUED FIRST TIME IN 1873
"Hierophantes" Was Name Given to Earliest Annual at K. U.
"With the hope then of getting on the sunny side, of the affections of our people, we send out to them the first number of the "Hierophantes" pecting that it will be perpetuated through all the years of the future, "unrilling much authentic and liting information about objects from other sources." This is the adjutantry of the first K. U. annual, the "Hierophantes."
If there were no other record, the growth of the University could be estimated by the improvement of her college annuals. The first Kansas college annual, 1873-4, the Hierarchies, was a twenty page paper backed booklet, five by eight inches. It contained names of the faculty, undergrads, secret societies, members of literary societies and much poetry.
Nine years later, in 1882, appeared the next annual, the Kansas, Kikabee containing cartoons and a group of faculty photographs pasted in as a
Then came the "Cyclone" in 1883 and the "Cicilia" in 1884, both books burned after the chief topics of the hour. After sleeping five years, another annual the "Helianthus" appeared with good cuts of Fraser, Snow and Media building, and was dedicated to "The People of Kansas." The Oclaves, following, was the first cloth bound book.
An original drama of five acts and selling at fifteen cents was substituted for the regular college annual in 1894, but it evidently was not successful as it was the last substitution of the drama type.
The Kivir Book of 1896 wr$^a$ a paper backed book of fifty pages and obtained many cute cartoons. It contains a lot of comic to some degree and used colors
The annual of 1897 was called simply K. U., that of 1888 "The University That Kansas Built" 1898, the "Oracle," 1900 the "Galaxy," and in 1901 the name "Jayhawk" was adopted. From a book on fashion in cloth on leather, the Jayhawk of 1902 being the first bound in leather.

DENVER TO HAVE STADIUM
Ask for Plans of K. U. Stadium as Basis
The Journalism Press of the University of Kansas is one department of the institution that is financially dependent, enables more than fifteen students to work their way through school and permits the various schools and departments of the university to secure printing at cost.
Another stadium on the same plan as the one here in K. U. may be the result of recent communications between Prof. C. C. Williams of the department of civil engineering and Ari Ridway Ridge, B.S. 92, of Denver
Denver is planning a new memorial stadium in remembrance of its war heroes to be built at the expense of the city for municipal purposes, and Mr. Ridgeway has been given charge of the preliminary planning. Upon examination of a complete set of blue prints of the K. U., Professor Willow were sent to him to professor Wilillow and expressed them very satisfactory and expressed the opinion that they would be used as the basis of the plans for the Denver structure.
The annual of 1980 dedicated to the Honorable W. R. Stubbs, was a big improvement over all previous K. U. annuals, but the book of 1932 annuals were just as far ahead of the daymakers as in 1980 '9 '10, and '11.

Taking the word of those qualified to know, the latest active addition to the University plant should make better students. For there is a relation between better students and better food, and there is no doubt that the new University Commons is affording hundreds of students the opportunity for better food at reasonable price.
When Chancellor Lindley went before the legislative committee to obtain the Commons, he emphasized its value from the standpoint of added efficiency to the University people and also the value of large groups of students eating together in a temporary cafeteria costing $15,000 which is less than money invested in any of the four cafesisters operated at the other state institutions. However, the University authorities have arranged so as to make it as effective as possible and have a building which will serve 310 persons at one time. It was necessary in order to for that the university in order to have a cafetaria that would meet the University demands and unfortunately this will prevent serving of meals at a low profit for some time.
Better Food Will Make Better Students -is Idea of University Commons-Prices lower in Time
There are ideals for the conduct of a University cafeteria as well as for the conduct of a class room. The things which Miss Rebecca Barnum knows most common has to say is this connection are of special interest. She says:
"It is the hope of the director of the Commons, that little by little it will be possible to lead our students to choose the food that they need. We may place this before them every day, but in a cafeteria it is not possible to select for the individual, as it would be in an ordinary dining room. But in time, we hope to suggest desirable combinations of food so that each student will be able to make our own selections.
"The human machine will stand a great deal of abuse but if it is to do efficient work for any length of time,

it must be treated with a certain amount of consideration. Its engine must be supplied with fuel and the supply of building material must be kept, up or something will fail to function, after a time. It may not be this month or next, this year or next, but sometime, the effect of any failure to keep up these supplies will tell.
"Students are building for the future and cannot afford an abuse that will handicap them in future years, even though they are strong enough to resist for a time. Well balanced meals and properly cooked food are essential," she said. An enmey-safeguards against future difficulties as well as present ones.
"The University Commons is handicapped in that it has heavy equipment bills which must be met within the next few years. Most of the equipment must be owned and equipped by the state and must simply clear enough for their regular unkeep and the necessary replenishing and supplying of new equipment. This hadicap will make it necessary for us to charge slightly higher prices for some time, than prevail in such ecteries at Manhattan and Emory University; the state should see fit in the near future to provide for this equipment.
"If our daily numbers increase sufficiently within the next few months, it will be possible to keep our prices where they are at present, but the larger numbers are absolutely essential if we are to do so.
"A very casual investigation shows that many of our students are spending between $5.50 and $7.00 a week for their meals and feel that they are well fed. So far we have not been able to find any one who has averaged $1.00 a day for meals, and 'one student' the meals had cost her $7.75 when she had not skimped herself at all, but had selected each time just the things that had appealed to her west." - Graduate Magazine.
