Just what is the Memorial and what progress has been made toward realization of the memorial structural are questions asked frequently by Summer Session students. Here are some answers!
The Memorial is a project to raise one million dollars by popular subscription on the part of friends of K. U. to make possible the building together with a team. Memorial structures together with a status of James Woods Gale.
The two buildings, the Stadium and the Kansas Union building will cost in the neighborhood of $500,000 each. Students who attend the services of the one hundred and twenty-six K. U. students who died in service. Explanation of the purposes of these buildings are given in part of the Summer Station Kansas.
To date the pledges toward the million-dollar goal total nearly $800-000, these being agreements to pay this amount during a period of four years. All pledges are made on this basis.
Students of the University and faculty members took the first step toward the success of the memorial April 1919, when the overseas men were returning. Chancellor Strong appointed a memorial committee whose investigations revealed the fact that the Union and the Stadium were the two favorites for the trophy. Then it was decided to provide for the two in a million dollar project to which the Green Memorial was added.
Last November the Kansas University football team staged one of the most remarkable comebacks in the history of the gridiron when the Jayhawks faced the three touchdowns in the last half. The following week the students and faculty pledged $207,000 toward the memorial. In January, Lawrence followed by adding $145,000, then in April Gregorius Kansas University pledged $207,000 remembered and pledged $200,000. Toppea and Skwawe kept up the high standard and in June pledged $41,000. In each case the goal or quota set for the local campaign was more than met. On July 11 the Huskers remembered the victory. Atchison will follow July 18. Preparation for the campaign will continue during the summer under the direction of W. J. Baumgartner, organization secretary for the Memorial and known as the Memorial progress, so that next autumn the local people there are groups of K. U. people and friends interested in the development of the school and in honor of the memory of those who contributed to the supreme sacrifice.
The affairs of the Memorial are directed by a board of directors acting under a charter issued to the University of Kansas Memorial Corporation.

EXTENSION PICTURES TONIGHT IN FRASER
A Five Reel Comedy "Pots and Pans Peggy" and Two Features
The entertainment committee has announced a program for the Summer Session students which is to take place on Friday, April 25. Frasher Hall. It will consist of seven or eight reels, made up of a five-fire comedy drama, "Pots and Pana Peggy," followed by a one reel feature, "The Childs Hour." The reel called, "The Children's Hour."
The program at first was to take place on the campus, but it was thought that the lanternt was not sufficient to entertain a 'area crowd out doors.
The films will be provided by the Extension Division, and are available for rental purposes to be used in school entertainments throughout the state. The films selected for the program are especially popular, and are in great demand during the school year.
"All who like entertaining whole pictures are especially invited to be present this evening," said Prof. F. P, F. O'Brien this morning.
Interesting Exhibition By Physical Department
On Friday evening last, the women's classes of the Physical Training Department gave an interesting exhibition on the campus in front of Fowler Shops. Many of the spectators joined in the festivities, which is a privilege to which they are one. Some of the students were anxious to join these classes, but were unable to arrange their schedules to do so. These occasions give them an opportunity to join in the work, and get into touch with its practical demonstration. On this occasion, many of the old folk dances were given, and all enjoyed relay games to the full extent.
Mild Missed Andrews, of this department, will have charge of the work on the campus this evening at 745'o4c. Games and community singing will characterize the evenings' entertainment.

The Late "Uncle Jimmy" Green, Popular Leader of University Life, Who Will Be Honored in the Campaign.
DANIEL CHESTER FRENCH,
Sculptor, Who is to Make the "Uncle
Jimmy" Statue.
Do you know the relationship which exists among these three pictures? That Daniel Chester French, the maker of the Lincoln memorial is to make a statue of our beloved "Uncle Jimmy?"
Perhaps you know that the million dollar memorial fund, which the University of Kansas is raising, is to be used in three ways, partly for the K. U. stadium, partly for the Kansas and partly for the Green Memorial.
We are subservicing willingly to the Stadium because our physical comfort and pride demand it; and just as willkingly we will subscribe to the Green memorial because our hearts demand that we give to the ages a portrait of God, and for the qualities of mind, of heart, whose great soul and noble character are beyond description, but which made a laiting impression on everyone who met him, and influenced the life of every student who knew him since he was first a professor in the School of the University of Kansas in 1878.

Students to Have Big Feed Friday
On Friday evening, July 8 at 6:30 o'clock in the evening, all students in the School of Education, together with their wives, sweetheartss, or husbands, are invited to get-to-gather chicken dinner.

The chicken dinner will be served by the ladies of the Plymouth Church. An excellent program is being pre-arranged for social intercourse will be given.
To the boys he was a father professor, and as Chancellor Lindley has said, he was Lincoln-like in his devotion to men. And since he was Lincoln-like what better person could have been chosen to make his statue than the man who made the beautiful Lincoln memorial - Daniel Chester French?
The sub-committee on the plans for the Union Building met last night with the chairman, Prof. George Shaad, of the School of Engineering, to receive the report of a committee of women alumnae concerning the construction for women men they desired to see in the proposed Union building.
