K. U. UP IN THE WORLD
The University of Kansas has a larger total enrollment than Yale, according to registration figures from more than fifty colleges throughout the United States. New York University has 7179 students, while Columbia University of the same city has 7,327.
Total Enrollment Exceeds That of Yale
Columbia owes a large part of its enrollment to the large number of people taking its summer school and extension courses. Practically all of the fifty schools show a good increase. The following table gives a brief idea of the enrollment of the more important schools of the country.
New York University . 7,719
Columbia . 7,327
Michigan . 5,976
Illinois . 5,888
Minnesota . 5,114
Harvard . 4,998
Kansas . 3,474
Yale . 3,306
 Iowa State . 2,869
Leland Stanford . 2,002
Princeton . 1,555
Brown . 1,136
Stuart Walker, with his Fortman-
men Tuerer is making a tour of the

The Portmanteau theater is being brought to the University on a general admission fee. The proceeds in excess of the guarantee will be turned over to the student loan fund.
Does Over-Crowded Fraser Mean Efficiency?
Fraser Hall was erected in 1872. Its total cost has been approximately $182,000, of which one-half was appropriated by the legislature, the other given by the city of Lawrence.
In this building are located the executive offices of the University, including the chancellor's office and the office of the registrar; the office of the dean of the college, and alumni secretary, the adviser of women, and the University extension division; offices and reception rooms of the departments of English, German, Greek, Latin, romance languages, journalism, and home economics; and the library; also, the classical museum and a small auditorium seating 830. The enrollment for 1871-72 was 265 students; now it is 3,407.
Fraser Hall is the main building of the University. To it every student and teacher must come in some part of his school activity. Has the main building of a 265-student University kept pace with the growth of the 3,407-school student of today?
HULLINGER, OF THE KANSAN
WILL STUDY AT COLUMBIA
Edwin W. Hullinger, who finished the requirements for his A. B. degree last semester, is leaving tomorrow for Columbia University to take special work in journalism. Hullinger, a member of the Kansan Board and a former editor of the Kansan, came here two years ago from Occidental College. He was killed in his heia was city editor of the Calcasieu Chronicle and edited the Hoher Times.
ART EXISTS AS DENIAL OF FACT
Hullinger was president of the Associated Journalists and resigned last night. After a semester's work at a newspaper, expects to go into new syndicate work.
In discussing the disparity between the earlier works of Wagner and those of his later years MacBougall and Wagner were marked by an increased and turned to a rose. In his first works he used the stereotyped forms of his predecessors and his work was imitative and worthless, but he saw the weakness of those earlier prose works and realized that he wrote the world an art that he wrote while.
Professor Hamilton MacDougal Says Art is Unusual Expression of Man
Send the Daily Kansan home.
All art exists because it is a denial of fact was the message of Prof. Hamilton MacDougall of Wellesley College, who lectured on Wagner and His Art to a small audience in Fraser Chapel last night.
So it is with the opera, which is founded on the supposition that singing is a natural means of expression. Singing is not a natural means of expression, for if it were and spontaneous we should cease to value it as an art.
The art of Shakespeare, he went on to state, was based on the supposition that men speak naturally in blank verse, but it is because of the fact that there is that blank verse is unusual and uncommon, that Shakespeare's work is art.
In speaking of Wagner, Professor MacDougall said that he was one of the greatest geniuses of all time, and that so far as opera goes he stands preeminently above all. This he said, and it is true. Wagner had great intellectual ability, of reasoning, undaunted spontaneity, and a fine sense of propriety. Our society, according to the speaker, is based on certain conventionalities, and men are afraid to depart from these for fear of being called Philosophe. He was not afraid of being called a Philistine that he became great.

BIG BUSINESS FOR BOOK EXCHANGE
Student Enterprise Closes To morrow After Successful Week -Receipts $500
"Home" for Fine Arts Students
The book exchange in Fraser has done a big business during the week, according to W. H. Wilson, manager of the enterprise. The receipts to date have been over $500, nearly one-fourth more than was received for books at the opening of the fall semester. Tuesday was the busiest day, the receipts amounting to more than $330.
The exchange has made a great saving for the students, who have been able to buy their books much below the price of new ones.
The exchange will close tomorrow. No more books will be accepted. Final settlement for books will be made Saturday morning, and those who have turned in books are asked to have them to receive payment and remove all books not sold. There are over 800 books yet unsold, and unless these are called for before February 9, they will be stored away at the owner's risk, and will not be accessible until the exchange opens next fall.
Men's Glee Club picture will be taken at Squires', Saturday at 11:30.

GROUND-HOG SEES SHADOW TODAY
Cold Weather Helps to Send Him Back to His
Den
This is ground-hog day—a day apart by the people of the United States for the worship and discussion of the homely woodchuck. It is popularly assumed that the ground-hog comes out of his winter quarters on a cold morning and runs back and is allowed by the "powers that be" six more weeks of winter weather in which to finish his sleep. For very obvious reasons he will run back today whether he sees his shadow or not—any sensible ground-hog cannot can not be blamed this year for the variety of weather which may follow.
If any further information about the ground-hog is desired, look in the enecyclopedia under ground-hog—no there. Look next for hog, ground—nothing there—and if there were, it would likely pertain to a sort of food sometimes called sausage. In Winter's for ground-hog—there always is aurrence to "Candelas." Candlemas is the day observed in other countries; only our own country takes any notice of the ground hog.
Want Rooms For Merchants
The extension division would like to know of all rooms available for the Merchants' Short Course to be held. An available will please call K. U. 101.
Two Professors Meet
It seems rather singular that a man should come clear from Boston to introduce one K. U. professor to another. Last night Professor MacDougall introduced Dr. Winhrop P. Haynes of the geology department to teach students at School of Fine Arts. Dr. Haynes was for two years an instructor in Walesley where Professor MacDougall is supervisor of music.
SENATORS LOOK OVER BUILDINGS
Ways and Means Committee of Senate Visits Campus Today
CLIMB TO TOP OF FRASER
Senator Thompson Favors Permanent Income—Make Many Comments
The Ways and Means Committee of the State Senate, accompanied by two representatives of the House, spent the entire day on the Hill inspecting the buildings and crowded conditions of the University. The members of the committee were then compulsus by Charcelon Strony, Dean Templin, and E. T. Hackney, of the Board of Administration.
TALK IT OVER
While classes were in session, they were taken to the top floor of Fraser Hall and then to the basement. Snow Hall and the Medical Building were taken from the basement; the buildings they were taken to the east wing of the Administration Building and shown the foundation erected in 1912 for the main part of the building.
The committee was shown the large cracks in the foundations and walls, and the crowded rooms in Snow Hall, one of the buildings condemned by the state architects. The top floor of the building and the basement, where the state water analysis plant is located, were inspected.
The members of the committee had many comments on conditions in the buildings. They thought two-by-four rooms on the fourth and fifth floors in Fraser would make better store rooms than class rooms.
THOMPSON FOR TAX
"I favor a well-organized tax, one upon which dependence can be placed so that the institutions can plan their improvements accordingly," said Sen. Will S. Thompson, of Hutchinson. "Nothing has been said in the Senate concerning the tax, but I have heard plenty of outside talk. I am in favor of the tax if it is drawn in a well-organized manner."
The members of the Ways and Means Committee at the University today are: Senator Wilson, chair; Representative Uffman, Paulum, Metcalf, Kanawe, Snyder, Thompson, and Representatives Pand and Woodhouse.
SAMPLE INVITATION HERE
Senior Bids to go on Sale Next Week
"Samples of the senior invitations have been received, and orders probably will be taken from the seniors next week," Blondie Jones, chairman of the senior invitation committee, said today.
"On account of the extra high price of paper and leather, the contract for the invitations was placed only after much difficulty. Only one United States, would guarantee to furnish leather at all," continued Jones.
The invitations this year will be embossed and printed in brown ink on a good grade of white paper, according to Jones

Grace McGrath, a Sas City managers of the Associated Press and United Press, respectively, to talk to the journalists before the end of the term.
