THE SUMMER SESSION KANSAN
VOLUME X
NUMBER 2.
CONVOCATION TODAY IS FOR EVERYBODY
Fraser Hall Chapel Selected for the First Get Together of Students
CLASS HOURS SHORTENED
Few Minutes Taken From Eac! Period Will Give Time for General Meeting
The first general convocation of the summer session is for everybody attending the University. It will be held in Fraser Hall Chapel at 11:30 o'clock this morning. The hour was changed from 10 o'clock, as first suggested, in order not to keep the students running back and forth on the floor, but many times in order to attend the gathering. They can assemble in Fraser Hall and when the meeting is ended proceed to their luncheons.
Music will be a feature of the convocation. The speaker of the morning will be Dean Frederick J, Kelly, who has been the head of the educational work of the University. His selection will be especially pleasing to the hundreds of teachers in attendance who know him as a leader in their profession. Chancellor Kendley is making a trip in the eastern states and was unable to return for this first gathering, his engagement having been promised for this date several months ago
All instructors of Summer Session classes will note that in order to provide the time for the convocation every class is to be shortened by five minutes. The whistle will blow for the termination of the class these five minutes before the usual time and in this way, the 11:30 hour will be open for the meeting which will continue until noonday.
Dean Kelly's new position as Dean of Administration of the University gives him more responsibility than as educational head which he filled for some time. His messages to the students are drawn from this responsibility and his address today will point out the advantages of the student co-operation during the summer. He also of the Summer session last year and advocated some of the more advanced courses that are being offered.
Director W. H. Johnson is eager to have all students and instructors attend this first gathering as the work of the session will be outlined more fully. It is very important that instructors notice the shortening of the class periods because there has been no opportunity to motify them of the hour. They can readily figure the five minutes off the time for the period and will understand when the whistle blows. Students should also see that classes after the first period are attended promptly.
The use of Fraser Hall for the convocation was decided upon because it is central to the largest classes and because it is equipped with electric fans that keep the atmosphere cooled and refreshing. The grand organ concert hall created the most program that will be in charge of Professor Skilton. Miss Agnes husband is expected to be on the program for a vocal selection.
THE SUMMER SESSION KANSAN, FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 17, 1921.
Rev. J. W. Boyer Called to Join Nebraska College
Rev. J. W. Boyer, director of the Westminster Bible Chair, and University pastor for the Synod of Kansas for the past two years, has received a promotion and will leave in July for Hastings, Neb., to become professor of religious studies College. Hastings College is the Presbyterian school for the states of Nebraska, Colorado and Wyoming.
According to the Executive Committee of the association, Reverend Boyer has conducted the best administration since the establishment of the association at Lawrence in 1906, and has succeeded in putting it on a sound financial base by raising money and the chair. Also, the attendance of the bible classes has been larger in the past two years than ever before.
"I think that the Inter-dominational School of Religion is the greatest step that has ever been taken in constructive religious education in state schools," said Mr. Boyer today, "and I am confident that the work will advance in the future, with the aid of Chancellor Lindley and others who are interested."
Students Delaying Publication of Lists
Students themselves have delayed the publication of the names of those attending the Summer Session. Many of them have failed to give the Registrar's office their residence numbers and others have made changes since coming to Lawrence that have not been reported. These make the completion of the lists impossible at this time but Registrar Foster is hopeful of turning out the lists tomorrow or early next week.
The publication of these lists will have to be in sections in the Summer Session Kansan on account of the number of enrollments, more than 1100 names being listed. They will most likely be issue by schools if arrangements can be made without too great delay and difficulty.
"Any students that have not turned their addresses or changes in addresses into the office cannot expect to find their residences given," said Registrar Foster. "If they bring in their names today, tomorrow, the lists may be completed. Otherwise there will be many blanks."
BIG TIME PROMISED AT UNIVERSITY PARTY Jazz and Old-fashioned Music Will be Served Together
The first all-University party this evening promises to be a very interesting as well as a very enjoyable affair, according to the authorities in charge.
Prof. F, P. Obrien is chairman of the social committee for the summer session. His assistants are Mrs. F. E Bryant, Acting Dean of Women; Prof. J. J. Wheeler, of the department of mathematics; Miss May Gardner, Associate Professor and Mrs. Martindale, of the department of physical education. The committee may, if they wish, add others to the committee.
The entertainment tonight will begin at 8 o'clock. There will be a general reception in order that the students may meet, after which there will be dancing. Mr. Obrien says that just because we are not up on the latest jazz is no reason for not attending for those events to be other, too. "If you would like to dance an old-fashioned waltz, come to the University party tonight," he said. Refreshments will be served.
CALLS FIRST MEETING OF THE MEN'S FORUM
President Brown Asks All Mer Students to Meet Next Wednesday Night
President Rice E. B.ROW, of the Men's Forum, has officially announced the first meeting of that organization for next Wednesday evening, June 22, in the Little Theater which is situated in the basement room of Green Hall, the Law Building. All men attending the Summer Session are members of the Men's Forum by virtue of their enrollment and all are expected to deliberate and be governed by the actions of the Forum.
"An important meeting of the Men's Forum will be held on next Wednesday evening, June 22, at 7 o'clock sharp in the Little Theater in Green Bay to attend summer school should be present. Don't forget the time and place."
The notice from President Brown states:
This notice of the Forum given through the Summer Session Kansan will be the only notice given generally of this first important meeting. The program of the Forum for the summer is still to be decided finally. In former years the Forum has been sponsor for student movements and entertainments of various kinds. It has been thought proper by some of the student leaders to consider the usefulness of the Forum in the arranging of lectures, 'this may make a change of meeting night to Friday necessary. These and other questions will come up at the first meeting, so a large and representative attendance is desired.
Chancellor E. H. Lindley is on his way to Wilberforce College at Wil伯force, Ohio, where he will give the commencement address.
ENROLLMENT HAS NOT BEEN ENDED YET
Latest Figures Given Out b Registrar Show Over 1100 Students
MORE CONTINUE TO COME
All Summer Total of 1500 B Looked for by Leaders in the Faculty
Enrollment for the Summer Session has not been ended yet. Yesterday afternoon stragglers were arriving at Director W. H. Johnson's office to enter the classes that are running under good headway, some of the study rooms being so filled that they look more like the regular sessions of the University.
The latest figures announced from Registrar George O. Foster's office yesterday were 1128 in all departments of the Summer School. The totals for departments have not been tabulated but as usual in summer, the educational classes of the college are expected to have the majority, the psychological phases of students studies apparently being the most popular among the many teachers. When the final figures are at hand the music courses offered by Dudley Buck and others may spring a surprise and show the reason for substantial increases.
That the Summer Session this year is beyond anything in the records of similar sessions is shown by the following comparison of figures:
Enrollment first day last year was 700 compared with more than 1,000 students this year. The official total last summer reached 845 for the opening dates with about 950 students during the season. Of this number more than 830 were school teachers coming to increase their efficiency.
In 1919 the summer school had 710 students, having been hit hard by the war conditions as the regular sessions were. In 1918 the Summer Session attracted 762, which had dropped from 1916, the before the war, attendance of 817 students. The growth this year can be seen by these comparisons and predictions are being made that 1500 will be reached before the end of the four weeks' session.
Some interest has been awakened in the discussion as to which of the schools open for summer work is most popular. All the departments appear to have come in for their share of increased popularity. The work in chemistry last year drew many students but this year, the improved opportunities in music and the addition of coaching and athletic training courses attracted many students who had little experience with the hot weather in vacations. According to Director Johnson this goes to prove that interesting arrangement of the study courses will lead students to economize their time and improve their opportunities as much in the summer as in the autumn and winter.
The sisters who are enrolled in the Summer session are composed of orders from Paola and Leavenworth. Mother Thomas heads the Paola party, complements her sons whom are in the academy or in the parochial school of Paola.
The sisters of Charity from Leavenworth have six or eight in the party.
City Apparatus Tried Out on Hill Yesterday morning Chief Reimich and members of the Lawrence Fire Department made a trial run to the campus to test the applicability of the new large hook and ladder truck in regard to fighting fires which might originate in the University buildings. The ladder has a reach of 65 feet which makes it easy for the firemen to gain access to the roof of any building on the Hill.
worth have six or eight in the party.
The work which they are doing is along the line of journalism, psychology, and dramatic art.

Dangers Confronting Students in Their Careers Pointed Out in Address
CHANCELLOR SPOKE TO HASKELL GRADUATES
One of the important features of the Commencement exercises at Haskell! Institute last Tuesday afternoon was the address to the graduates, delivered by Dr. E. H. Lindley, chancellor of the University of Kansas.
Doctor Lindley's speech, although brief, was adapted especially to the betterment of the students on the graduation roll. He inspired them to seek out opportunities and make the most of their particular field.
The speaker entitled his address in the form of a question: "Who Discovered America?" To this demand Doctor Lindley replied with a number of possibilities, beginning with Columbus and running through the leaders in American history. To this end, he asked if the Americas they enjoyed perhaps, but not the America that you and I know."
Doctor Lindley impressed upon the audience the idea that the America, even the world, which you will dislodge must be to them what they make it.
It will interest the University students to learn that the Chancellor made the same plea to those thirty-eight young men and women that he made to the student body in his first convocation in Robinson Gymnasium last September. At that time Doctor Lindley warned the student body against the danger of what he termed a form of "Dementia Precox," that is, the faddist practise of pretending to be disinterested in the world and themselves.
H. B Poirs, superintendent of the University, will become general supervisor of Indian educational institutes, with headquarters at Haskell, paid the Chancellor a sincere cribute. He stated that when he assumes the supervisor's position, the assistance and advice of Doctor Lindley will play an important role in the new regime.

Housing Aid Sought From Business Men
At the last meeting of the Chamber of Commerce the housing question was taken up with them by Dr. Alberta Corbin and two of her cooperative girls. Their subject was the "inside of the houses" asked in the purchasing and maintaining of the houses or the University girls.
The lumber reduction was taken up and it was found that building costs in Lawrence compared very favorably with the surrounding cities. The meeting was purely informational and the concrete problem will probably be put before them at an early date.
