THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Almost Two Score Years Professors On Mt. Oread
By only one year's teaching Prof,
M. W. Sterling's stay on Oread has exceeded Prof E. H, S. Bailey's term of professorship.
Both professors began their teaching at the University of Kansas in 1883, thirty years ago.
Professor Sterling, now associate professor of ancient languages, graduated from the University of Kawaukee and then taught Latin and Greek, the same fall.
"In that time," says Prof. Sterling, "I have noticed progress and development in every imaginable direction. Of course, the students in those days were just as earnest in their work as they are today, and professors were just as loyal as now. There was only one building here. Then was Fraser Hall, and the students were all in full illumination of the preparatory students, so K. U. was for the most part a preparatory school. There were law students also and the college was a very small afair."
SIXTY-ONE RECEIVE VOCATIONAL TRAINING
"One Year's Instruction May be Increased to Four," Says Prof. Walker
"Sixty-one men enrolled in the University are receiving monthD checks from the Federal Board of Vocational Training because of disabilities caused in war service," according to Prof. A. T. Walker, head of the Vocational Board at the University.
The amount which these men receive varies with the extent of the disturbity and the number of dependents. Books, tuition, laboratory fees, transportation, and medical attention are furnished to all of the sixty one men. The men who were wounded or come under section two of the
vocational law and are paid $80 a month if they are without dependents, $110 is paid for a dependent student, $50 is paid for a wife and one child. The largest amount paid to any man at this University is $135 a month.
"The university men form only a small part of those provided for by the Vocational Board. Disabled men are trained in the occupation for which they are best suited. Many are placed there because, where they become skillful in some industry. Blind and crippled soldiers are taught a trade in which they can earn a living in spite of their disability. Only those who have a high school education or enough work to admit them as speciales are trained in the universation for vocational training," concluded Jean Walker.
"These men take only vocational work. They are enrolled in law, medicine, engineering, geology, pharmacy, and education. They do not take work in the college unless it is prelaw, pre medical, or courses in economics that will be useful in business.
The government has only obligated itself to keep these men in school for one year. However, if their school work and conduct is satisfactory and they graduate from Section Two will be allowed to remain in school four years. At the end of four years, if their education is not complete, they are expected to return to school monthly report of their grades and conduct is sent to the Federal Board
DANDELION CURE FOUND
Professor Hunter's Gasoline Dope Shrivel Pests in 48 House
Prof. S. J. Hunter, state entomologist, has a remedy for dandelions which has proved deadly where faith, fully used. It has been used on several Lawrence lawns with good results.
Here it is: "Get an oil can, a quart one will do. When the first yellow blooms appear on your lawn, fill this can with gasoline, and squirt at least a tablespoonful of gasoline on the plant. It will shrivel within forty-eight hours. Care should be taken to place the gasoline in the plant's root system; it reaches the heart of the plant, otherwise it may get on the surrounding grass and kill it. This should be done every day until the blooms cease to appear."
Mias Osee Hughes, c18, has been given a position in the department of home economics of the Michigan State Agricultural College at Lanning.
Professor Bailey came here in 1883 from Leighh University where he had taught nine year after graduating from Yale.
"Yes, there has been remarkable progress in the University of Kansas but because of a lack of financial support by the state, progress has allowed our students to attend Bailey. "And but for this our progress would have been much greater."
Sigma Alpha Epsilon will hold their annual mothers' and fathers' day, Saturday, May 8.
"When I first came here the building now used by the department of journalism, was just completed and then I taught pharmacy, chemistry, metalurgy, and some mineralogy until a few years later, when additional professors were obtained. In all that timel had one assistant. We stayed in that building until seventeen years later when he retired from the building with $60,000, with the result being a very plain building with insufficient supplies."
"The student spirit was as good in he earlier days as it is now," declared Professor Bailey.
