UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
MANY STUDENTS ARE HELPED BY LOAN FUND
Total of $2,852 Is Available for Students Who Must Have Extra Money
MAKES DEGREES POSSIBLE
Many Now Prominent In Business and Professional Circles Have Benefited
That the Students Loan Fund has become a medium for real and permanent service to the needy and worthy students of the University is shown by the fact that all but ninety dollars of it has been loaned.
Five years ago when the fund was created there was $1,352 to its credit, but since then through various pledges and gifts the amount has been increased to $2,852. One thousand two hundred dollars was added this last year.
CLASSES HAVE CONTRIBUTED
CLASSES HAVE CONTRIBUTED
The senior class of 16 contributed
$278, student pledges amounted to
$430, while private donations
amounted to $245, of which $100 was
given by Governor Capper.
The fund was started in July 1884 by the graduating classes of the College and Engineering School as an aid to students who did not have the means to finish their work. Loans are installed of from only twenty-five cents a month in order not to tempt students to spend more than necessary.
23 LOANS THIS YEAR
This year twenty-three loans have been made to students of which 13 are seniors. Seven of these students are girls and six boys. Everyone is working his way and doing so with creditable grades.
MANY ARE PROMINENT
In the past loans have enabled many students to complete their courses of study who are now making enviable careers. Nine of them are professors in prominent colleges and universities in this country. Fifteen are teachers in high schools of this state and neighboring ones.
INNESTAT
Several are prominent in the engineering profession; two are ministers and one is school superintendent of one of the largest cities of Kansas. A is a national Y. M. C. A. secretary, and others are prosperous business and others are prosperous business.
BY THE WAY—
Other universities have student loan funds amounting to from $5,000 to $20,000, and it is hoped that the fund of this University will increase to a like amount in order to aid the many promising students who are compelled to leave school because of lack of funds.

The senior maiden smiled and of
fered to help in the man hunt.

STUDENTS STILL BUSY IN WARRING NATIONS
Soldiers Study in the Trenches When Time Permits, Mrs. Hoffmann Says
MEN EAGER FOR BOOKS
And Prisoners Want to Improve Themselves In Every Possible Manner
"The students of the warring nations are studying their text books and are making their examinations while fighting in the trenches," said Mrs. Conrad Hoffman, yesterday afternoon in her lecture in Fraser Hall. Some of the English Tommies are making their Oxford examinations while at the front. The Germans are encouraging the learning of English and French and the children seem to look upon going to school as a business man does his business and not as a thing forced upon them."
Mrs. Hoffman delivered the greetings from Mr. Hoffman to fellows at K. U. and quoted him as saying he believed the Germans were making an honest effort to feed and care for the prisoners. "There have been no food crises," Hoffman said. "We Americans even longed for some excitement, everything was so quiet."
PRECAUTION TAKEN
Many interesting things were told about the food regulations and the precautions taken to prevent injustice to the German people. "I talked with a French man who was deprived of one no made complaint against the Kaiser," said Mrs. Hoffman. "He is a religious man and commands the respect and loyalty of the German people. However, there is some complaint that he who distribute the food and clothing."
PRISONERS WANT BOOKS
A strict reciprocity is maintained between prisoners and officers with regard to the exchange of prisoners and the sending of mail and packages. Each package coming into Germany must be addressed to a different person. One English prison camp received as high at 35,000 packs of supplies for the supply of food and other necessities of the prisoners is supplemented.
K. U. RECEIVES PRAISE IN ENGINEERING MAGAZINE
The University of Kansas got a two-column writeup and six cuts of the Chemistry Building and chemical laboratories in a recent issue of the Metallurgical and Chemical Engineering Magazine printed in New York.
While attending the national convention of the American Chemical Society in Kansas City recently, seventy of the delegates visited the University and were entertained at dinner at the University Club.
USHER IN THE NEW COUNCIL
Recently Elected Members Installed Monday Night—Engineers Will
Elect President Next Fall
The new Student Council members were installed Monday night at a meeting of the old council. The officers declared elected by the old council are; president, Walter B. Havkorset; vice-president, Dorman H. O'Leary; secretary and treasurer, Rudolf Uhrlaub.
The disputed offices were settled by the old council declaring O'Leary elected over Schmidt, as vice-president, while the candidacy to president was postponed until the regular class election next fall.
This decision was reached by the retiring council after much deliberation and the plan adopted seemed to be the only feasible plan open. Votes were counted and then recounted and then recounted. The recount showed O'Leary to be vice-
