AUNT CARRIE WATSON RESIGNS LIBRARY POST
Succeeded by Earl N. Manches ter Who Will Have Wider Field of Activity
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Nate Carrie Watson who has been connected with library work in the University since 1878 and has, since 1887, been in charge of the library, is holder of that office no more. She has been succeeded by Earl N. Manchester, who was appointed director of libraries a few weeks ago and has just arrived in town to take over his new work.
it is that Miss Watson has seen the library grow too large for the one room quarters in Fraser Hall, move into Spooner Library building, row used, and then at last become too wide an institution for that structure. A new $250,000 building will soon be erected.
In the early '90s there was not enough space in the Fraser Hall room for all the 20,000 volumes which were in the library at that time. Consequently the Spooner gift of $75,000 was dedicated when it came. Spooner Library was finished in 1894, and the books moved that year.
Miss Watson did not wish the responsibility of organizing and establishing the new institution and she skaked, some time ago, to be relieved from the management of the affair. Her request was granted, but she will still remain connected with her work in the new organization. Her assistance in the new organization is expected to be valuable to the incoming director.
Miss Watson was graduated from this University in the class of 1877. The following year she took the position of assistant librarian, the librarian being a member of the library and only two,200 volumes in the library when she first started work there, and it was quartered in Fraser Hall. In 1887 Miss Watson was given full charge and served continuously since that time.
The retiring librarian had much to do with the planning of Spooner Library. "When it was bulled," said Miss Wagstaff, "it looked like a monstrous structure...to use the day when it would be too small to serve the University efficiently. However, the library has become too small, for we
are so badly overcrowded that we cannot begin to give the service that the University should have."
In announcing the appointment of Mr. Manchester, Chancellor Lindley expressed his appreciation for the services which Miss Watson has rendered the University. During the long period she has been connected with the institution she has formed, acquainted with her, and a large part of the 30,000 students who have been on the Hill in that time.
Familiarly known as "Aunt Carrie" she has been much sought for as an adviser and will be probably still looked upon by University men and women as an "everybody's friend."

Women's New Rush Rules Bring Quiet to Lawrence Citizens And Relief From Stiff Rushing
We are living in an age of rules and regulations governing our conduct. The method seems to be pretty satisfactory in everything except prohibition. There it fails and is not even in actual fact strictly admissible, the latter cannot be said of the new Windsor Hall-Heilene Rashing Rules however.
No matter how unsatisfactory the new rules on rushing may be to the girls, they are being closely adhered to, at least from casual observation by those who remember last Fall, when every street was filled with carcars full of fair co-eds, and the promising rushue hardly walked a block until the week was over. One curiosity, to get their drivers' "ideas" about that particular organization, used airplanes to impress them.
Under the new ruling passed last Spring, no automobiles may be used and such a thing as an airplane is strictly taboo. The rushee must walk
to the sorority with which she has an engagement. There, and there only is, rushing, or more brawny, but also more cuddly, her date is returned to her address alone.
and she returns to her business home. The girls are expressing great satisfaction at the main idea of these innovations, which is that it saves a lot of strenuous work which is exerted by the former and more expensive system. On the other hand, they are expressing some regret that they cannot make the extra display when necessary, which is often so effective in making the best impression on the otherwise unsuccessful rushee.
The restriction of wearing pins only in the house does not make any wide difference. But the ruling on automobiles is doubtless giving many of the citizens of Lawrence a relief from the restrictions of the first week of school. The new system will probably become permanent.
