The conference was held from Ju-9th to 16th, the meetings being a building erected by the University of London on a portion of the new site of the United University of London, which is to be close to the British Museum and which will form a cultural unit there. An interesting aspect of the conference was the admission of universities of Great Britain because it lead taken by the University of London in inaugurating this conference. Owing to the presence of the American delegates, this was appply turned into a broadening of the character of the conference so that it resulted in a larger cooperative plan for the publication of historical documents and the assistance of students from the United States

WHEAT FROM KANSAS FOR ARMENIAN FEAST
Several Carloads of Grain Sen for the Near East Thankskiving
--citizens of Wichita and farmers contributed two more. Still pledges of flour and grain come in and when the train finally pulls out for meals, these men throw ten carloads. This flour will go immediately to Near East Relief warehouses in Armenia. It will reach there before winter closes the roads to trucks and baltis traffic to interior points. Without the loss of one cent in value that grain and flour will be distributed among Armenian people and orphans, who are unable to feed themselves whose only hope for food rests on the generosity of America.
Wichita, Kan., Nov. 2—Between sight and ten carloads of flour, milled free from Kansas wheat, will leave next week for Armenia as the Thanksgiving offering of Wichita business men and other public-spirited citizens.
It was during the International Wheat Show that the plan of collecting a trainload of wheat was suggested. The idea took hold quickly. In three days six carloads of flour were contributed. The Wichita board of trade gave two carloads, the banks contributed one, the mills another and
All over Kansas other towns are collecting wheat and flour and other train loads will be made up and sent to New Orleans, from where it will be taken by ships across the Atlantic. This shipment is sufficient to keep all orphanages, containing 1,000 chil-den each, in bread for a year.
TELLS OF K. U. ART MUSEUM
Student Writes for American Magazine of Art
Miss Florence L. Snow, a 1919-20 student at K. U. has an interesting article in the September issue of The American Magazine of Art, entitled "An Art Museum at a Western University," its refers to the valuable art collection given to the University of Kansas by Mrs. W. B. Thayer as a memorial to her husband, formerly of Emery, Bird, Thayer and Company, Kansas City, Mo., whose death occurred a decade ago.
The collection was started in Mr. and Mrs. Thayer's Kansas City home with oriental rugs, fine pictures, and Japanese curtains. After Mr. Thayer's death, the work was carried on by Ms. Thayer, and it is through that work that the University of Kansas has received this valuable collection.
The permanent quarters for this new acquisition, which is to be in the New Administration and Fine Arts Building, are not competed, and at the present time, the collection occupies about the top floor of the unbuilt building.
"It is said that the middle west cares nothing for art, that it is only concerned in more land and corn hedge," said Miss Snow, "but the middle west has a goodly number of successful artists and is generally waking up to its artistic possibilities. The State of Kansas will come very soon to realize the varied and jaggedages of the Thunder Art Collection."

Maurice McAuliffe, nationally known agricultural leader, chairman of the national board of the Farmers' Union and president of the Kansas union, has urged the agricultural organizations in America, issues an appeal for wheat and corn.
That the Farmers' Union of Kansas has more of a mission than simply looking after the well being of its own members is shown in the appeal just made here. It asks for aid from the starving farmers of Armenia and the Bible land. The appeal appears in the union's official paper this week.
