POST GRADUATES ON EXTENSION WORK LIST
Distant Countries Represented in Correspondence Study of University
"The University of Kansas is well represented in correspondence courses throughout the world," announced the office of Correspondence Study this morning. Over 230 students were enrolled last month, most of whom are post-graduates of the university working for a higher degree, or school instructors who wish to increase their efficiency along that line.
Last year the department enrolled 1560 students but ordinarily the number seldom exceeds 800 at one time. Students from New York, California, Washington, Texas and Maryland are taking courses at present. A few from other countries are also enrolled including Canada, Japan and Mexico.
Nearly every department in the University is represented, those in greatest demand being Languages, English, History, Sciences and Sociology. The courses taken during the summer months are mostly along education lines, this being the only spare time available for instructors at common schools. Many classes for high school students are also offered.

LINDLEY ADDRESSES
SECOND CONVOCATION
First Appearance of Chancellor in Summer Session. "Who Discovered America?"
WAS A LARGE ATTENDANCE
Captain Keenjo, master of the "Comanche," had ridden into the battle with the first detachment. Because the shells stuck in their guns, the soldiers had to throw them away and to fight what an Indian eye-witness calls "little guns," namely pistols. The Indians were in couples in front of and behind
Group Singing Led by Butter and Organ Music by Skilton Feature the Program
A large number attended convo-
cation Friday morning. Chancellor E.
H Lindley gave the address of the
morning, speaking on "Who Discovered
America?" To this question
Doctor Lindley replied with a num-
ber of possibilities, beginning with
Columbus and running through the
authors of America history. He
encouraged me to state, "Statement,
No; the America they enjoyed, per-
haps, but not the America that you
and I know."
At the entrance to the Museum of Natural History, on the summit of Mount Oread, stands "Comanche," the sole survivor of Custer's last fight in the region of the Little Big Horn, June 25. 1876
Bravery of Captain Keogh Recalled In Museum Figure Of His Mount, "Comanche"
Doctor Lindley emphasized the idea that America or even the world must be safe.
Convocation opened with the singing of the doxology which was followed by the Lord's Prayer and the singing of the hymn, "Holy, Holy, Holy." Director William H. Johnson gave a speech and announcements, after which he introduced the Chancellor to the Summer Session students.
Music was provided by Professor C. G. Skilton on the organ and group singing led by Dean H. L. Butter of the School of Fine Arts.
"Comanche" was the horse ridden up Capt. Miles Keogh, Troop 1, Seventh Cavalry, in this fearful fight against insurmountable odds. The part which Captain Keogh played in this battle with the Indians is not so well known as is that in regard to Custer's and Reno's movements, and will therefore be of interest to most persons. The story of Reno's sudden attack, of his being driven back into the timber, and of what seemed to the world at large, his unnecessary delay in sending out aid to Custer, is known by all. By the time the delayed skirmishing party had reached a vantage point from which to ascertain what had occurred, Custer and all of his men were lost, while the Indians, crazed by success, were riding wildly around, and over, the dead and dying, shooting bullets and arrows into them,
Chancellor Lindley said that he was sure the official welcome had been extended, but that he wished to repeat it. In his address the Chancellor used a very forceful illustration of a woman whom he had known, who although met with reverses, the death of her husband, a large family, and few finances, did not give up. She fought and won and to her children have everyone won nation-wide recognition. By this illustration and the mentioning of a number of great Americans, the Chancellor made it plain that each should seek out opportunities, and make the most of their practical field.
The Chancellor asked, "Can a man come back?" and answered, "It is never to late to learn." Doctor Lindley said that he was glad to make this statement, and that he owed his ability to make it to the discoveries of modern psychology.
The assembly joined heartily in the singing of the "Corn Song," by Kate Stephens, c. 75. Dean Butler sang the verse and the audience the chorus.
Miss Blanche Adams, of Garnett, spent several days with her sister, Aarges Adams, who is attending the summer session here.
the soldiers as they moved up the ridge to take position.
In the words of this same witness, the enemy seemed as numerous as the blades of grass in a field. First two companies of Keigh's and Calhoun's
Of all the officers who had so short a time before marched away from the garrison to the tune of "The Girl I Left Behind Me," while they waved encouragingly to their wives and loved ones left there for safety, not one returned. Not a single human being of Custer's commander ever rode
They never broke but retired step by step until forced back to the ridge upon which all finally perished. They were shot down in lines, Keogh's men falling in a bunch, this being proven by the fact that thirty-eight bodies of his troops were found piled up in a heap. To prevent the soldiers from escaping after they had dismounted, the Indians directed their fire toward the trooper who had been left to hold the soldiers' horses. As soon as they had killed him, they stamped the loosed horses by a great shouting, and by a waving of blankets.
Attention Graduate Students
Only the silent figure of "Comanice," a masterpiece of the taxidermist's art, remains of all that living throng, to remind one of the heroes who perished needlessly because "someone had blundered."
Attention Graduate Students All students who hold degrees from colleges or from the University should enroll in the Graduate School if they are carrying work which will entitle them to graduate credit. The secretary to the Dean of the Graduate School will be in the office, Administration Building, east end, during the entire Summer Session.
Please enroll at your earliest convenience.
The Dean.
ENGELS CELEBRATE
VEDDING ANNIVERSARY
Children Gathered for First Family Reunion in Several
Years
Professorand Mrs. F, E, Engel celebrated their thirtieth wedding anniversary Saturday, June 26, 1921. In 1885 Mis Cora Powers of Milroy, Ind, came to Sterling, Kansas to visit relatives and it was during this visit that she met Professor Engel, then a student in the University of Kansas. They were married at the beginning of Professor Engel's senior year in the University of Kansas. Professor and Professor Engel began teaching in the University the following year, practically all of their married life has been spent in Lawrence.
Two exceptions to this were in the years 1897 and '98 which the professor spent at Yale getting his master's degree and the years 1910 and 11, which he spent with his family at Marburg, Germany. While at Marburg Professor Engel took into his family a little German girl, Maria Deibel, to act as kindermachen, and teach the children German
Here the Professor was able to study closely the German school system as he was attending a university there and of his six children, two attended the Volkschule, two the Real gymnasium and one the Pensionist. In the middle of 1911 Professor Engel's sister-in-law, Mrs. Grace Power, then superintendent of a hospital at Galesburg, Ic, came to Marburg to spend with the Engels. At the time they were the only American family at Marburg and great courtesy was extended to them by the natives.
It is extremely interesting to note that the same people who were at Marburg with them attended the Angel's wedding anniversary. When they left Marburg, they persuaded the parents of Maria Denemet to let her return to America with them. She attended the high school at Lawrence and later entered the University. For the past three years she has been teaching Spanish and mathematics at Bernard, Kans. She left for Germany Sunday evening. Mrs. Powers, now superintendent of the Atchison hospital came to Lawrence for the anniversary, as well as Professor Engel's six children. Of these, Lawrence the oldest, has for two years been associate resident surgeon at Yale; Agnes, A.B.'15, is teaching at Tulsa; Herman, A.B.'20 is with the Bemis Bag Co., in Kansas City; Dorothea c'21, is advertising manager of Crosby Brothers in Topeka; William is a junior at the University of Kansas and Mary is in the Lawrence high school,

The plays come each day at 11 o'clock.
DEAN BLACKMAR IS
GIVEN LL. D. DEGREE
"Frank Glynn's Wife," a comedy of modern married life, will be presented this morning. The other plays to be given are: "Not A Man in the House," "Compromising Martha," "A Picked Up Dinner," "Murder Will Out," and "Feed the Brute."

Highest University Honor Is Accordecd K. U. Educator in California
SERIES OF ADVANCEMENTS
Ranks Among the Highest of Sociological Teachers and Investigators
Dr. F. W. Blackmar, Dean of the Graduate School of the University of Kansas, received his LL.D, degree from the University of Southern California on June 23, according to word received here yesterday by the graduate office.
The LLD. is the highest degree given and is a fitting climax to the various honors which Dean Blackmar has received. In 1921 he took his place as one of the board of directors of the National Conservation Congress, being elected by the American Economics Association.
In the same year Dean Blackmar, at that time professor of sociology, edited a history of Kansas. This history consists of two volumes of 1000 pages and covers the whole political, social, and institutional development of the state.
In January, 1919, he was elected a member of the American Association of University Professors and later in the year he was also elected an associate of the "Institute International de Sociologie" of Paris.
In February of the same year Dean Blackmar, then president of the American Sociological Society, had the responsibility of appointing five members of the Sociology Society to the League. He was also a congressress for a League of Nations of which ex-President Taft was the head.
Dean Blackmar gave a series of lectures at the University of California during the $夏季 session of 1919. He is giving lectures on Eugenics aid and on Problems Deuteronomy addresses this summer. Governor Stephens of California also received an LL.D. degree at the same time.
Will Probably Return During Summer Session
IRVINE EXPECTED TO TALK
Chancellor Lindley this morning let it be known that there is a great possibility that Alexander Irvine will return to the University of Kansas at some time during the summer session to address the students at convocation.
Mr. Irvine will be remembered as the speaker who aroused great enthusiasm among the student body last year when he spoke to a convoction in Robinson Gymnasium, During the war Mr. Irvine spoke to more British soldiers going into the trenches than any other morale officer in England. At the close of the war he was personally thanked by King George and Marshall Haig, and was requested by Premier Lloyd George to address British working classes throughout the British Isles. Mr. Irvine is an American and is spending some time in this country at present. Dr. Lindley is very eager to secure him to address a convoction before the end of the Summer Session.
Many Lost Articles at Business Office
The number of lost articles turned into the business office during the regular session of the University is amazing. Things of real value remain unclaimed along with articles of lesser value. At present there are at the office a raincoat, a kodak, numerous fauna and plants, numerous species and "other things too, numerous to mention." Like forgetten bank accounts, these unidentified things are of value to no one, yet to the owner they are worth reclaiming.
Men's Forum Meets Wednesday The Men's Forum will hold its weekly meeting in the Little Theatre in Green Hall at 7 o'clock tomorrow evening. Professor Prunty will address the meeting, President Farris earnsly urges every man in the University to be present.
Ruth Grider and Ethel Pate spent the week end with relatives in Topeka.
Iriss Russell, A.B. '21, spent the week end at her home in Kansas City.
