THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
PLAN IMPROVEMENTS FOR NEXT CATALOG
The Book This Year Will Be Issued in Three Sections
The University catalog to be issued from the Registrar's office this year will be an improvement over the catalog issued in past years, according to the present plan, which provide the students with the book in three separate sections.
The first section will be devoted to a concise and understandable statement of the general information every prospective student wants. It will also specify entrance requirements, fees, and information concerning the different schools and departments of the University. This section will also contain an accurate statement of student expenses.
The second section will be devoted exclusively to a descriptive statement of the courses of study by departments. These will be arranged in alphabetical order so that the prospective student who wants to study chemistry will find in one place an chemical subject, with a clear school of science, and with a clear statement of the prerequisites before any particular subject can be taken up. In this way the candidate will find everything he wants to know about any particular subject outlined on a few pages. Herefore it was necessary to search the whole catalogue for this information. This section will be especially valuable to the student after getting
The first section will also contain information as to advance standing, athletics, and their part in school life, social and religious life, and the different advantages of the University as regards library, laboratory and the museum. It will also contain a calendar for next year.
The third section will include a list of the Administrative offices, officers of instruction, number of degrees granted, and to whom granted in the coming election. It will also give a list of the current students by schools and classes and the summer session. There will also be statistics covering the total number of alumni, occupation and geographical distribution.

French, the Famous Sculptor Delighted at Seeing Some of His Work in Spooner Library
While browsing around in the domains of the Spooner Library, the attention of the casual observer is arrested by an exceptionally attractive likeness of Ralph Waldo Emerson which rests upon a pedestal in the iortheast corner of the main floor. Upon drawing nearer to the masterful work of art, he will further note the inscription on his informe about the portrait bust was presented to the University by the Class of 1921, and that it is a reproduction of the original by Daniel Chester French, the sculptor.
Little did the Class of 1921 realize that in selecting the work of Mr. French, they were choosing the very man who was to be later chosen as the director of W.Green Memorial Association, for the purpose of immortalizing our beloved "Uncle Jimmy." This is the task which is now confronting Mr. French and, in view of his past accomplishments, there is no doubt but that he will truly incorporate the "Uncle Jimmy" as a great monument for the campus.
It will be remembered that Mr. French personally visited the University last fall in order that he might acquaint himself with the scenes of the late Dean Green's activities. While here on campus, he found the copy of his bust of Emerson which was located in our library, he immediately expressed a desire to see the bust and in accordance with his wishes, the
artist was taken to Spooners and directed to the Emerson bust.
Karpa Alba Theta held initiation Saturday night at the chapter house for the following: Clare Ferguson, Margaret Lynch, Lychn, Haynes, Virginia Thorpe, Iras Armold, Dorothy Gage, Marian Patterson, Harriet Patterson, Margaret Maynard, Woody, Margaret Walker, Virginia Pendleton, Carole Smart, Jeanette Wagstaff and Wilma Kirkwood.
It was with great delight that he read the inscription plate and gazed upon the work of his own hands. He said that it was his privilege to modulate a piece of glasswork that work was done in Mr. Emerson's private study during 1879.
Ted Pendleton, c20, returned from California Tuesday where he has been spending the winter.
BY THE WAY
In speaking of this interesting occasion, Mr. French said: "I think it very sadism that a face combines such vigor and strength in the general form with such exceeding delicacy and sensitiveness in the details. James speaks somewhere of 'the overmodelled American face.' No face was ever more modelled than one's own;erson's there is not slurred, not nothin' but demons but it was like a perfecction of detail in great sculpture-it did not interfere with the grand scheme. Neither did it interfere with an almost childlike mobility that admitted of an infinite variety of expression and made possible that wonderful lighting up of the face so often spoken of by those who knew him. It was the attempt to catch that glorifying expression that made me express myself when my mother looked at it after one of the sittings and said, "The trouble is, the more it resembles me, the worse it looks."
Lorado Taft, however, calls attention to the fact that the sore finally gave the man his unqualified approval for a job. "That is the face that I shave."
Russell Zarker of Topea spent Sunday at the Sigma Chi house. Zarker attended school here last year and withdrew to accept a position in the Santa Fe office in Topea. He will be back in the University next fall.
