CHANCELLOR OUTLINES
FUTURE WORK OF K.U
University Examines Its Course of Study; Adjustments Will Be Made
MORE STUDENTS WANTED
People of Kansas and State Legislature Reflect Growing Demand for Education
Problems facing the University and the outlook for the future furnish topics for a brief discussion by Chan-wei Li, associate editor of the April Graduate Magazine.
"An immediate task of the University is to take stock of itself and of the changing tendencies of higher education," Chancellor Lindley states; pointing out that the university was period in need of special social needs and has created new demands.
"The University of Kansas is now engaged in a systematic examination of its courses of study, costs of various kinds of service and with the adjustment of every phase of the university's work. This assistance will equip the students' activity will yield to the more essential." Chancellor Lindley said.
"The growing interest of the people of Kansas in their University tends to increased attendance during the next blemium. Kansas should be encouraged by other friends of the University are active in their respective communities in discovering the more promising areas of study and helping them attention to the University of Kansas.
These activities will result in increased size of the freshman class and to the University the problem of the best care of freshmen. Every effort will be made to provide adequate instruction and supervision for these students. The Stadium Union, proposed as a part of the Million Dollar Memorial promises to be an invaluable influence in developing the best student life.
In *athletics* a forward looking program is under way under the leadership of Director Forrest C. Allen. The University hopes to establish a continuous policy and tradition in athletics. The advent of the Stadium should give new impetus to athletic development of the University. We believe that athletic activities are most effective when reinforced by high scholastic requirements.
"The University wants to establish an increasing number of contacts with commercial and industrial interests of health services in the field of preventive medicine and public health, in the field of secondary administration of public schools, and in cooperation with other agencies. The university der service to rural communities.
"The Kansas legislature has expressed its interest in higher education and has reflected the growing demand of the people of this state for educational facilities at the University equal to those of other wealthy states.
"While a great forward step has been taken, the resources of the University must be still further augmented." Chancellor Lindley continued.
"It must be remembered that the arrears in buildings, equipment and scale of salaries due to the war period, have not been fully made good on by the war field for continuous alumi activity is now greater than ever. Under the leadership of President Irving Hill and Secretary Alfred Hill, the University Alumni Association bids fair to be one of the major organizations of its kind in the country.
"We confidently believe that a report of wise expenditure of Univer
city funds during the next bielumien will so intensify public confidence that the University may hope to attain additional means to insure the realization for the people of Kansas that their children shall have the best possible opportunities within their own state.

NEW MERMAID FROCK
STARTLES ENGLISHMEN
Freak Fashions Surpass Every thing in Daring and Novelty
London, April 19.—The freak fashionisms which inevitably accompany springtime madness promise this season to surpass anything that has gone before in the way of daring and novelty.
Dame Fashion has been having a confab with Father Neptune and the net result is decidedly "fishery." One of them is the mermaid frock, which is a close-fitting air entirely composed of palettes which provide one another in the approval of scale style. The frock is provided of iridescent of silver, green and blue. No trimming or ornament of any kind is worn with the frock and cores are doffed so that the sinuous mermaid effect is complete.
Another fish fad is the gribble composed of painted sea-shells. With this is worn a head dress of similar design, or maybe, of tinted pearls.
for those whose systems cannot assimilate too much sea-breeze, a few Hawaiian modes have been taken. The most common comment is the Hawaiian skirt. This extends from the waist to just below the knee and is composed of coarse, matted, hay-colored fabrics, effect of the garments of South Sea Islanders.

DONATES BOTANY MANUALS
Dr. Slosson Gives Books to Snow Hall Library
Dr. E. Slesson, formerly editor of the "Independent" and at present in the Science Service at Washington, D.C. has donated to the library at Snow Hall two botany manuals which formerly belonged to his mother, who was a pioneer of Kansas. The two manuals are not only interesting to the scientific world, they have served as books of Mrs. Slesson and her observations regarding the different plants which were in Kansas at that early period.
"It is interesting to note." said Professor Stevenson, of the department of botany, "that some of the plants that were here a number of years ago can scarcely be found now and some plants that were not to be found at that time are very much in evidence. They are from an era we show this in that they have a complete record of all the plants that grew in Kansas in the Pioneer days."
Dr. Steason graduated from this University in 1891, later received his Doctors degree from the University of Chicago, and was for a time provost at the University of Wyoming. He is devoid most of his time at present promoting the popularization of science. He has written several books on this work, among which the most popular is: "Easy Lessons in Eminent Writing." His book sets out a simple language so that the ordinary reader can understand them perfectly.
