LIBERAL RESPONSE TO SUMMER STADIUM CALL
More Thousands Are Added to Funds at the Memorial Convocation
MANY HAD GIVEN PLEDGES
Heavy Rain Cut Attendance But Did Not Overcome All Enthusiasm
One hundred and sixty-five men and women of the Summer Session subscribed to the Stadium-Memorial fund in the opening convoction of theSummer daytime morning in Fraser Chapel. The team by seventy-two men and ninety-two women was $7,578 an average of $55.10, or about $30 less than the
$30.75, or about $60 less than the average subscription of the regular
A large number of the students either already pledged earlier this summer or had pledged in the drives on the Hill last November, which is one reason for the low subscription yesterday. A heavy rain also had to bring out the slivers hiding away from convocation, although Fraser Chapel was filled.
Immediately following the conversation the workers reported to Professor Baumgartner's office where the results were tabulated. Yesterday afternoon the town was worked by teams. The workers visiting all those who worked there on campaign is to be carried on until every person has been interviewed.
"Crimson and Blue" was sung by the students. A few of the college yells were given, led by Sandy Winson. Dean H. L. Butler sang "There is a Light" when he was written as a memorial to those who lost their lives in the Great War.
Prin. Merle C. Prunty, of Tulsa, Okla., presided. He spoke optimistically as he looked over the large assembly. In introducing Chancellor Lindley, Mr. Prunty called attention to the fact that exactly one year ago Mr. Lindley came to the University to be its chancellor.
In his address the Chancellor spoke of the first meeting of representative alumni to consider seriously the putting on of a million dollar campaign for the erection of a Memorial Stadium. One gentleman went to the meeting thinking that $1,000,000 was too much to try to raise for that or any other purpose. After he had learned about it, he said he was planning to carry out to keep pace with the great universities of the country, he said "It is not too much."
Chancellor Lindley said that July 14th marks two great events in his life. Anniversary of his coming to Kansas University and the anniver sary of the coming of a boy to his home.
Chancellor Lindley called attention to the unprecedented growth of universities in the last twenty years and what it means. When the colleges and universities become in personal touch with the students, Since the attendance has grown to thousands, the personal touch has been impossible. The Chancellor said he would be glad to have all the students in his home and entertain them three, but that it would be hard to achieve. This condition has created a problem.
Science has made rapid growth in our colleges. The German science teachers added impetus to science but at the same time they were indifferent to the welfare of the individual. Some instructors who appreciated the value of the personal interest in students said they were swamped.
Then came the Great War which brought out the importance of the individual, the Chancellor said. It also showed how inadequate our physical education had been in consequence in college athletics. He thinks that his "style of architecture" might have been changed by a good course in athletics. He is going to see to it that every student in this university shall have a chance to play football, basketball and out-door sports, of which there should be at least two years required.
Chancellor Lindley said that he was interested in competitive athletics because they develop the mind and the will. He said that he could wish no more than two years ahead those lines, than four years under the direction of Doctor Allen.
The Chancellor reminded his audience that after the Kansas-Nebraska game, one of the greatest ever played on any field, the alumni and friends
THE SUMMER SESSION KANSAN, FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 15, 1921.
WEAR YOUR BUTTON!
Merie Prunty, chairman of the drive committee has requested that everyone wear his K, S, U, button the rest of this week and next, in order to save himself from being bothered and to save the Memorial Fund Workers the trouble of interviewing those people who have already been solicited.
Owing to the rain this morning the majority of summer school students were unable to attend chapel this morning, and in consequence the workers are to see every one on the Hill, in order to help them, and in the class rooms, in order that each one may have his chance to assist the University of Kansas, in this drive.
of the university had no place in which they could get together and renew old friendships. In speaking of the utility of the Union building the Chancellor mentioned the Michigan Union which serves on an average of fifteen thousand students, that the Union would be a better one because it would more adequately take care of the needs of the men and women of the University.
The Chancellor added that in considering the utility of the project we must not forget that it is in memory of the workers who had in the services of their country.
The chancellor said that the most important result of this drive was the new interest awakened among the alumni and friends of the university and in closing he said that we should now move this university to the heights that are now occupied by a few institutions other than the state institutions.
As soon as the Chancellor finished speaking the workers of the drive supply, they would have to subscribe blanks and those who subscribed were given Stadium Union buttons. These buttons are to be on the hill until the end of this session.
"ENROLLMENT TO BE 10,000 IN TEN YEARS"
Kansas Should Awake and Pre pare in Advance, Prunty Tells Rotarians
"The enrollment at the University of Kansas will reach the 10,000 mark within the next decade," said Merle C. Prunty, of Tulsa, OK., in an address before the Lawrence Rotary Club yesterday. The basis for this statement is the fact that 26 out of every 100 population in Kansas are enrolled in the high schools of the state and that Kansas leads all other states.
"Not only are our high schools overcrowded," he continued, "but the institutions of higher learning are unable to take care of the numbers who come to them. The challenge is not only to provide for our present needs but to build with an eye to the future.
"A man of vision is one who provides for emergencies. We should equip families with adequate housing and classrooms for the future." If Kansas would

"There are only 600,000 teachers in the United States and 300,000 of these are under the age of twenty-five, 155,000 under nineteen, and 80,000 vouching high school; and about one-half the remaining have taught less than five years.
